This year we, the Drift Staff, want the Drift to fill an entirely different capacity. We want our annual to give to the student body something more than mere sta- tistics. We want it to hand out joy, happiness, and pleasure to all who look at its contents. No doubt in future years each one of you will have some gloomy days before you. When they do arrive, just pick up your 1941 Drift and recall the scenes depicted in it. They will bring back the memories of the good old days. We hope that as you turn through this book its subject matter will meet with your wholehearted ap- proval. TAYLORVILLE H. S.

Upon those boys and girls who are privileged to obtain a hlgher education falls the obligation of leader- ship. This leadership must never waver in those principles that have made our Republic the great citadel of freedom of thought and action. America has grown a strong people through the initiative of the individual and we,as a nation,wi1l continue to grow and progress in the degree that individual initiative continues. The young people who have completed their high school training today can fulfill no greater obligation than that of taking an intense interest in their government and assuming an active part in its affairs, and direction.

Those of tomorrow will be no more grave than those of today. The solution of these problems lies not in their com- plexities but in the training and attitude of the individual con- fronted with them. What the world needs today is men and women with moral, mental, and physical fortitude to accept these problems and solve them. It is with pleasure that I com- mend you very heartily and with confidence to these new experi- ences in waiting. gf 771 Cf Thirteen THE DRIFT OF 1941 EDWARD A.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The graduating class of IQ4I is the first class to complete the four year course in the new high school. As freshman, we entered into various activities, including the G. A. A., Home Economics Club, Girls' Glee Club, F. F. A.. and the band. During our sophomore year, the band placed third in the national contest held at Elkhart, Indiana. The Hi-Pi Geometry Club was organized under the auspices of Miss Terriere and Mr. Thornton. It was during' our junior year that the basketball team won the sectional tournament at Springfield, thus entitling them to participate in the state tourna- ment at Champaign. Alhough defeated in the first round. the team gave good account of itself, being defeated by only one point. This year marked another band season, the local high school band, receiving a second division rating at the national contest at llattle Creek. Michigan, Individuals in the band received dis- tinction at the parade of bands in Springfield in May. XVe were also hosts at the Junior-Senior Prom. securing Hank Messer and his orchestra. This affair was one of the most enjoyable presented in the last few years. The year 1941 sees ns as seniors. The football team was undefeated this year. Pulling the Curtain. a comedy, was presented as the senior class play. This play was the first to be presented in the gymnasium. Our class has many individuals who are successful in their own particular fields-music. athletics. and scholastic scholarship. Wlhile summing up the activities and undertakings of the 1941 senior class, one can readily see that the course pursued by it has been a successful one.

' b SUMMARY Mrs. Leffie Hunderstine, president of the Pine Yalley Ladies' Aid, convinces the dramatic aspirants of Pine Valley that the play of which she is the author is the suitable one to be presented as their annual production. The evening of the first rehearsal Mrs. Carrie Cadwaller's pocketbook disappears. Mrs. Sprechen ae- cuses M r. Hunderstine, who also has mysteriously disappeared. Act II, six months later, presents the many troubles of Mrs. Hunderstine at the dress rehearsal. Fonzy Donahue refuses to retain his part: Hobart Hanley is persuaded to pinch hit. Sev- eral others threaten to walk out, but are pacified. The next night the performance is brought before the critical audience of Pine Valley. The actors forget linesg the curtain is pulled at the wrong time. and the interact entertainers are enthusiastical- ly booed. just as the cast members are taking their curtain call, Mrs. Cadwaller discovers Mr. Hunderstine in the audience. After a great deal of misunder- standing, Mr. Hunderstine proves his innocence by locating the pocketbook in the footlights where Mrs. Cadwaller had left it.

This snappy club is built around one of the core subjects and is open to every student interested in the Art of Reasoning. For two thousand years geometry has built citizenship by promoting attitudes of self- control and directing powers of evaluating assertions and making observations, habits of concentration, truthfulness, precise speech, cooperation, and good workmanship. Our club provides pleasure and recreation without being sole- ly social. Our work unfolds before us a wonder of system. order, law. and beauty which we call a universe. This affects our spirituality. XN'e are dedicated to national defense in its deepest and broadest sense. Since most of us are not headed for college, we tolerate no bottlenecks in our intellectual and social inheritance. for we hold it self-evident that every boy and girl is and by right ought to be anxious to preserve and improve his cultural and democratic tradition. On the practical side we learn to use the subject in germ isolation, military work. aviation, navigation, public affairs, newscasts, mining, home construction. sports, clothes, advertising, consumer buying. art, home furnishings, house work, blue prints, battleships. and every day living.

The Taylorville Tornadoes were off to a flying start with their trouncing of the Clinton Maroons 25 to 0. Springing to an early lead. the drive of the local crew was never headed. The Maroons failed to hold or tackle on defense, and the line crumpled badly when it came to offense. The exact op- posite was true of the sturdy Tornado line that rushed through the battered Maroon offense to make impossible tackles and nip, serious threats in the bud. Co-Captain Verne Friedrich scored the first touchdown of the season. Johnny Racehorse jones scored three of the four touchdowns. Virgil Mitchelson made many sweeping end runs that thrilled the excited fans. Hall scored one placement in four tries after touchdowns. Though Clinton fought desperately, their efforts were unsuccessful. Lineup: VVilson, Peabody, Huggins, Rains, Hubbartt, Neikes, Bontemps, Hall, Friedrich, Mitchelson, jones. Substitutions: NVilhelm, Conrad, Hanson. Humph- rey, Curtis, Stokes, Marshall. Jacobs, Abendhoff, Crawford, Pearson. TAYLORVILLE BATTLES FEITSHANS TO A 0-0 TIE September 20, 1940. The Tornado victory march was side-tracked tonight as Taylorville and Feitshans battled to a scoreless tie. Although the host team made several attempts, the Taylorville line tightened each time and nothing notable was accomplished. In the last quarter Taylorville missed scoring by a narrow margin when a backfield man in motion brought a penalty that prevented a score. Hall threw a forward pass to Friedrich, who leaped high into the air and nabbed the ball over the goal line, but the official called the play back because one of the backs was declared in motion. The ball was awarded to the Flyers, who immediately advanced out of danger. The game was marked by hard blocking and tackling, Backfivld-Mitchelson, Bianchi, Hall, Friedrich, Lim'-NVilhelm, Neikes, Hubbartt, Rains, Huggins, Lilly, Bontemps. l Seventy- two TAYLORVILLE H. S.

Another link was added to the Taylorville victory chain Saturday night when the Tornadoes won a I 3 to 6 victory from Cathedral. Johnny jones eluded six Cathedral taeklers to go thirty-two yards for the first counter. Hall failed to convert the placement for the extra point. After a successful march down the field, Cathedral tallied their first marker by a pass well over the goal line. The attempted plunge for the extra point was stopped. Incomplete passes and punt exchanges characterized the early part of the final stanza until Taylor- vill took the ball on the Cathedral forty-five yard line. By determined thrusts through the foe's line, the local crew advanced the ball to the five yard marker. Taking advantage of an opening in the Cathedral line, Bianchi hurtled through for the winning touchdown. Charles Hall, the T. T. H. S. quarterback, converted the placement for the extra point. Lineup: Wilson, Hubbartt, Huggins, Rains, Friedrich, Neikes, Bontemps, Hall, Bianchi, Mitchelson, Jones. STAUNTON TIES TAYLORVILLE 6-6 October 4, 1940. History repeated itself Friday night when Staunton tallied in the second quarter to knot the score at six all. Charles Hall scored in the first period on a twenty-five yard run through the Staunton line. Twice he missed the try for point after touchdoxwn. Afer missing the try the first time, the play was brought back because of an off-side penalty against Staunton, but again Hall failed to boot the all important etxra point, and consequently a game that could have been won, resulted in a tied score. lineup: Wfilson, Huggins, Peabody, Rains, Friedrich, Neikes, Bontemps, Hall, Bianchi, Mitchelson, jones.

Hillsboro is beaten ! ! l Before a crowd of some 3,000 fans Taylorville emerged victorious over the highly-touted Hillsboro crew. It was the first Tornado victory over the Hilltoppers in nine years. Tayl0rville's backfield was slightly faster than the foe's, but this was recompensed by Hillsbor0's smooth passing attack. Splendid cooperation between the local line and backfield, was, per- haps, the deciding factor. Taylorville recovered a fumble on the nine yard line, and three thrusts into the line netted Bianchi a touchdown. Hall booted the place- ment that was to finally decide the score. A blocked pu11t paved the way for a Hillsboro touchdown. The try for extra point was muffed when the pass receiver was groundedp The T. T. H.

Taylorville annexed its fourth win of the current season by trouncing I. S. D. I3 to 0. Early in the second quarter l. D. fumbled a fourth down punt, and Co- Captain Verne Friedrich recovered for the Purple Tornadoes. Ray Bianchi carried the mail twenty yards for a touchdown. Hall boot- ed the extra point. A twenty-five yard run by llianchi late in the third stanza began the second touchdown drive. Four plays later Friedrich went around right end for three yards and a subsequent marker. Hall's try for extra point was no good. I. S. D. threatened several times, but the plucky Taylorville line held splendidly on defense and opened many holes for line drives by the Tornado backfield. Much credit should be given to the local line which, minus Mike Rains, 225-pOl.llICl center. drove through the I. S. D. offense to harass passers and become thorns in the sides of their opponents. Lineup: Wilson, Peabody, Neikes. Friedrich, Huggins, Lilly, Bontemps, lflall, llianchi, Mitchelson, Jones. Substitu- tions: llanson, Wfilhelm, Hubbartt, Curtis. . TAYLORVILLE SCUTTLES PANA 28-0 October 25, 1940. Pana traveled seventeen miles Friday night to suffer one of their great- est defeats at the hands of the thundering Tor- nadoes of T. T. H. S. The game can be sum- med-up in six words-FOUR TOUCH- DOXVNS AND FOUR EXTRA POINTS. Nearly 3, 500 fans were present as the Panthers and Tornadoes renewed their ancient rivalry. Taylorville started their march at the kickoff and were never headed. After a march of ninety yards down the field, Bianchi went over from the one yard line. He also plunged for the extra point. The second and third quarters saw Pana make two desperate tries for a score, but there were eleven reasons why the Panthers did not score, namely, THE TER- RIFIC TORNADOES. Early in the final canto Taylorville displayed much of the 'fold razzle-dazzle in proceeding from the Pana thirty to the one yard stripe where Bianchi scored. Noteworthy plays were made by Hall, Friedrich, Bianchi, and Mitchelson during this drive down the gridiron. Again Hall completed placement for the extra point. IVilhelm scored the final touchdo.wn of this red letter game when the Pana quarterback let Hall's punt slip from his arms into the ready hands Co-Captain Friedrich Seventy-four TAYLORVILLE H. S.

Each consistent- ly played fine football to add to the white- washingf' All of the reserves saw action in the game. The main highlight of the game was a seventy-five yard open-field run by Hall, but the play was called back to the forty yard stripe. where the headlinesman said he had run out of bounds. Regular lineup: Bontemps. Neikes. Huggins, Rains, I-Iubbartt, Peabody, Wfilhelm, Hall. Friedrich. Mitchelson, Bianchi. TAYLORVILLE SCALPS CARLINVILLE 34-13 Thursday, October 31, 1940. Taylorville continued its surge toward an undefeated sea- son by trouncing the widely-publicized Car- linvillc Cavaliers 34 to 13. Carlinville started strong and before the Tornadoes could stop them, they were on the local one yard stripe. Here thc line became impenetrable, and Car- linville lost the ball on downs. Taking the ball on an exchange of punts, the fighting Tor- nadoes started a drive down field that chalked up four first downs before Bianchi skirted left end for a touchdown. Hall booted the extra point. After advancing the ball to the Carlin- ville thirty-six yard line, Harmon Bianchi cut loose with a spectacular broken field run to score the second marker of the evening. Hall then completed his' fifth consecutive placei Cmcaptain Bianchi ment for extra point in two games. Bianchi intercepted a long Cavalier pass on the Taylorville forty-five yard line and ran to the Carlinville eight yard line. Here Mitchelson circled right end to score another Taylorville marker. Hall's placement missed the uprights, and the score read 20 to o in favor of Taylorville. Carlinville returned the kickoff with a will and marched sixty yards to score. The plunge for extra point succeeded, and the score became 20 to 7. Mitchelson returned a Cavalier punt sixty-two yards, and again Bianchi ran wild to add another score to the debit side of the ledger. Hall thrilled the fans by kicking tl1e pigskin squarely between the goal posts. A pass and a short run chalked up another score for the host team, but the pass for extra was knocked down by Mitchelson. Again .lgiianchi got away, and soon the scoreboard read 34 to 13. Late in the last quarter Coach Prince sent in all the substitutes. They continued to hold the Cavaliers scoreless until the final whistle blew. Lineup: Bontemps, Lilly, Huggins. Rains, Hubbartt, Neikes, VVilhelm, Hall, Friedrich, Mitchelson, Bianchi. Seven ty- five THE DRIFT OF 1941 ATHLETICS FOOTBALL TORNADOES SPILL SPRINGFIELD CITY CHAMPS 20 TO 12 November 8, 1940. The Taylorville Tornadoes invaded Springfield to battle the Lanphier Lions. The host team scored early in the first stanza when they recovered a blocked Taylorville punt on the local four yard line. The Tornado line halted three tries for a touchdown at the line of scrimmage, but on the fourth attempt the Lanphier fullback plunged over for the first goal. The attempt for ex- tra point was wide. Taylorville's touchdown drive in the second quarter was sparked by sweeping runs by Bianchi, Mitchelson. Hall, and Friedrich. After four consecutive first downs had placed the ball on the Lanphier twenty yard stripe, Hall heaved a fifteen yard pass to Mitchelson who was downed on the five yard line. Three line drives were stopped. but on the final try Bianchi scored off tackle. l'lall's placement kick for extra point was good. Carl Bontemps, six foot T. T. H. S. left end, took over a surprise hero's role in the second canto when he intercepted a lateral pass on the Taylorville thirty yard line and outdistanced several would-be-Lanphier tacklers to score. Hall's boot for extra point failed. Two completed passes best describe Lanphier's second score, but again the try after touchdown was blocked. The half ended with the local crew leading by one point. Late in the final period Bill VVilson intercepted a pass on the Lion's thirteen yard line. Bianchi finally ran nine yards through the Lanphier line for a subsequent marker. Again Hall completed the placement for extra point. This game was one of the best examples of teamwork exhibited by the Tornadoes of T. T. H. S. Lineup: Hontemps, Lilly, Hubbartt. Rains, Huggins, Neikes, VVilhelm, Hall, Friderich, Mitchelson, Bianchi. TORNADOES WALLOP NOKOMIS 39 TO 0 November Il, 1940. Taylorville ended one of its most successful seasons to date by defeating Nokomis in a terrific windstorin. The local crew wasted no time on formalities as they chalked up two touchdowns in the first six minutes of play and scored a third before the whistle blew to end the first period. The second quarter was highlighted by a sixty-five yard sprint down the field by johnny Jones for the fourth touchdown of the game. A few minutes later jones took the ball through the Nokomis line and galloped a full ninety yards for another six points. Bianchi plunged through for the extra point on both of these touchdowns. The weather was so disagreeable that the players wore gloves in play, and Coach Prince kept one team in the gym while the other occupied the visitors' time on the field. The local preps were scoreless only in the third quarter while the entire second team was on the field. Early in the fourth period Bianchi scored another touchdown on the thirty yard run, but he failed to score the extra point after touchdown. The effectiveness of the line was substantiated by the fact that N0- komis was held to only one first down for the entire game. Lineup: l-lontemps, Peabody. Huggins, Rains, Hubbartt, Neikes, VVilhelm. Hall, Mitchelson, Friedrich. Bianchi. ' Seventy-six TAYLORVILLE H. S. ATHLETICS BASKETBALL TAYLORVILLE BOWS TO PARIS 26-23 November 22, IQ4O. Paris invaded Taylorville with practically the same team that defeated the Tornadoes at the state tournament last year and annexed another victory at the expense of the local quintet. Coach Stanley, although minus Hubbartt. Savaris, and Wilhelm, sent in one of the most spirited teams ever assembled on the T. T. H. S. gym floor. They proceeded to hamper the mighty Paris offense until the last quarter when two long baskets put the Athenian cagers in the lead. They held this advantage throughout the final minutes of the game and thereby continued their jinx over the local crew. TAYLORVILLE TRIUMPHS OVER LITCHFIELD 32-15 November 27, IQ4O. Taylorville won their first game in two starts when they defeated Litchfield 32 to 15. With the addition of the veterans. VVilhelm, Savaris. and Hubbartt, the Tornadoes were in full battle armament as they met the lads from Montgomery County. The local crew were very adept at free throw shots and field goals as the score plainly shows. With a team of the present calibre on to the State will be more of a reality than a hope. TORNADOES COP 34-25 TILT FROM CENTRALIA November 30, 1940. Taylorville emerged victorious in the first out-of-town game of the season by defeating Centralia 34 to 25. The strong Tornado team had little trouble in outpointing the rangy Centralia quintet. Although their lead was threatened, it was not seriously impaired. The Purple and Gold squad presented a fine showing in their third game of the current campaign. XVilhelm's sixteen points were especially impressive. TAYLORVILLE TRAMPLES ATHENS 24-13 . December 3. 1940. Taylorville journeyed to Athens to battle the Athenian cagers and came out on the long end of the 24 to I3 score. Athens exhibited a speedy team, but last year's veterans are sorely missed. The Tornadoes showed remarkable ability at blocking, passing, and field play. These factors combined to hold down the scoring of the Athenian basketeers. Wilhelm, Savaris, and Hubbartt contributed much to the Tornado victory. TORNADOES BLOW THROUGH VANDALIA QUINTET 40-13 December 6, 1940. The Tornadoes were all-powerful when they met and defeated the Vandals of Yandalia by the overwhelming score of 40 to 13. Van- dalia proved powerless against the local crew. They frequently missed short shots and were for the most part unsuccessful in recovering rebounds. Half of Van- dalia's scoring came via the free throw line. The Purple and Gold, as a team, played consistently fine basketball. Credit -for the victory should be given to all. TAYLORVILLE CANTERS TO A 27-23 VICTORY ' OVER JOHNSTON CITY December 13. 1940. The Taylorville Tornadoes won their fifth straight vic- tory as they snatched a rough and tumble 27 to 23 decision from johnson City. Taylorville trailed at the half, but in the third quarter the Purple and Gold crew scored nine points to their opponents eight. Johnston City led by one point at the start of the fourth quarter, but at this stage in the game the local squad came to Seventy-seven THE DRIFT OF 1941 ATHLETICS BASKETBALL life and scored six points to Johnston Ciy's one. Thus the Tornadoes added an- other team to their increasing chain of victories. VVilhelm and Bontemps were the high scoring members of the T. T. H. S. quintet with fourteen and four points respectively. TAYLORVILLE OUTSCORES MARION 38-28 December 14, 1940. Taylorville made a clean sweep of their southern cam- paign by defeating Marion 38 to 28. The strong Tornado team led Marion eagers throughout the contest. The host team kept the game lively by scoring whenever the Tornado defense lagged. Much credit should be given the Purple and Gold quintet for their fine playing on this weekend jaunt down state. Lack of practice facilities did not impair the effectiveness of the Taylorville cagers. TAYLORVILLE RUNS THROUGH LANPHIER 40-16 December 18, IQLLO. The Taylorville Tornadoes, flaunting a tight, shifting zone defense in front of the Lanphier cagers, completely muzzled the Lions, 40 to 16. Two free throws accounted for Lanphier's scoring in the first half. Taylor- ville led twenty-one to two until the third quarter. Lanphier came alive in the final canto and gunned a couple of baskets to narrow, but not threaten the Tor- nado margin of victory. Although the Purple and Gold cagers were off on their shots. they played a prize-winning brand of ball to defeat the Lions of Lanphier. TAYLORVILLE SWAMPS BENLD 49-21 December 20, 1940. In their first conference tilt of the season Taylorville rolled on to their eighth consecutive victory by defeating Benld 4Q to 21. The Tornadoes exerted little effort in overcoming their conference rival and seemed to have their way throughout the contest. The Taylorville crew is, indeed. to be commended on their fine team work. This is, without a doubt, the greatest key to the current success of Coach Stanley's ball club. XVilhelm, Hall, Savaris, Hubbartt. and Jones proved effective in their sharp-shooting roles. TAYLORVILLE DRUBBED BY CENTRALIA 45-28 December 27. 1940. Dwight Eddleman and his Centralia cagers avenged an earlier Taylorville victory by soundly drubbing the local crew 45 to 28. The cagers from downstate seemed satisfied to let Taylorville play with them in the first half, but in the last half became thrifty and allowed the Tornadoes very few liberties with the leather spheroid. It was in this last canto that Eddleman decided to click. Zlllfl it was with little abandon that he began to rain shots through the basket. A packed gym of some 2,500 fans watched the local crew suffer their worst defeat of the current season. Credit should be given to the Tornadoes for their honest en- deavors to turn the tide of the battle. but pent-up power and tricky plays proved too much for the boys to handle at this time. ' PONTIAC TOURNAMENT TAYLORVILLE OUTPOINTED BY FLORA 27-23 January 1, 1941. Flora again dropped Taylorville into the consolation bracket by trouncing them 27 to 23. Except for a brief period when Taylorville led by two Seventy-eight TAYLORVILLE H. S. ATHLETICS BASKETBALL points, Flora maintained a substantial lead to quell the scoring attacks of the husky Purple and Gold crew. Scoring laurels were shared by all members of the local quintet. TAYLORVILLE BATTERS FAIRBURY 41-13 January 2, 1941. Taylorville remained in the Pontiac Tournament by virtue of their smashing victory over lfairbury 41 to 13. The T. T. I-li. S. cagers took the lead at the opening of the contest and never relinquished it throughout this one-sided affair. VVilhelm and Hall were high point men for the Tornadoes with ten and nine points. respectively. Each member of the squad contributed to the white- washing. TAYLORVILLE SMOTHERS EL PASO 43-23 January 3, 1941. The Purple and Gold Tornadoes entered into the finals of the tournament by their staggering defeat of El Paso 43 to 23. This is the second year that the Taylorville crew has entered the finals after first being beaten by Flora. Vlfilhelm. Hall, and Deeren carried the brunt of the offensive attack. scoring a total of thirty-three points among them. Taylorville is the defending champion of the consolation bracket. TAYLORVILLE RETAINS CONSOLATION CHAMPIONSHIP BY TROUNCING NORMAL 59-24 January 3, 1941. Paced by Ben VVilhelm's thirty points, the Tornadoes retained consolation championship of the Pontiac Tournament for another year. VVilhelm's fifteen baskets were good enough to shatter the individual scoring championship set in 1939. The previous record was for twenty-eight points. The Tornado bas- keteers had little trouble in subduing their supposedly strong adversary, but Tay- lorville's sparkling defensive playing was largely responsible for the general one- sidedness of the final score. TAYLORVILLE NOSES OUT ATHENS 28-27 January 7, 1941. The much underrated Athens quintet invaded the local gym and almost got away with a ball game. A goal by Savaris with one minute to play proved to be the clinching factor in giving Taylorville the long end of a 28 to 27 score. The game was especially rough as evidenced by the fact that four of Athens regulars fouled out before the game was in its final stage. The local squad led almost all of the way until their lead was gradually cut and finally relinquished. It was at this time that the winning basket was made. Taylorville's ball-handling in the last few minutes of the last quarter was a sight to behold, both from the standpoint of passing and stalling. The boys had little trouble in keeping the ball out of the eager grasps of the Athenian crew, and the few remaining seconds of the game were filled with catch-as-catch-can plays. TAYLORVILLE OVERWHELMS PANA 49-27 January Io, 1941. Taylorville invaded the den of the Pana Panthers and emerged unscathed. VVhile in this lair the local quintet wrested an eagerly contested victory from the Pana cagers. The final score was 49 to 27. The Purple and Gold cagers lived up to all predictions in subduing their ancient foe. VVilhelm was the hoop genius of the evening, scoring twenty-six points. Hall was next in line with eleven markers. This victory gave the local team undisputed possession of first place in South Central competition. Seventy-nine THE DRIFT OF 1941 ATHLETICS BASKETBALL TORNADOES SCATTER HILLSBORO 42-32 January 17, IQ4I. Taylorville again broke the jinx held over them by Hills- boro when they defeated the Hilltoppers 42 to 32. The Purple and Gold squad led the Hillsboro crew throughout the struggle. Long shots narrowed the lead, but the superior Tornado quintet kept up their consistently fine play and claimed vic- tory at the end of the contest. VVilhelm scored twenty-six points for the Taylor- ville crew. TAYLORVILLE UPSETS GILLESPIE 28-20 January 18, 1941. Taylorville continued its campaign toward an undefeated conference season by defeating Gillespie 28 to 20. Gillespie, rated as the' only strong contender for the South Central crown, fell easy prey to the inspired Tor- nado lads. Taylorville led their opponents throughout the game, but there were many instances when only a few points separated the two teams. Scoring skill was shared by all of the local lads. TAYLORVILLE AGAIN STOPS BENLD 47-26 January 24, 1941. Taylorville chalked up its fifth conference victory in a row by defeating Benld 47 to 26. Although the lienld cagers made a better showing than they did in their first encounter with the local team, they fell far short in their attempt to upset the strong Purple and Gold crew. The local quintet proved quite effective as the game progressed. VV ith each cager dropping in shot after shot, a safe and substantial lead was piled up. The result - another sparkling victory. TAYLORVILLE DEFEATS MT. OLIVE 52-18 January 25, 1941. Taylorville won its sixth straight conference victory from Mt. Olive 52 to 18. Although Mt. Olive fought valiantly throughout the game, they seemed befuddled when they had the ball in their territory and were unable to sink a basket when the opportunity presented itself. The second team, as well as the first team, gave a good account of itself in the way of scoring. TORNADOES OUT-MANEUVER QUINCY 24-19 January 31, 1941. The Purple and Gold cagers of T. T. H. S. began their second extensive out-of-town weekend campaigns and were successful in their first encounter with Quincy. Taylorville's victory read, 24 to 19. Quincy, boasting a rangy as well as an agile team. was counted upon to halt the Tornadoes of Tay- lorville. The game was strongly contested by both sides, but the local crew forged ahead in the last few minutes to spell defeat for the lads of Quincy. TAYLORVILLE TRUMPS RUSHVILLE 42-31 February 1, 1941. Taylorville met the second and final team scheduled on their week end jaunt and defeated them 42 to 31. Rushville, unlike Quincy, had a small and wiry team. They had a lightning smooth offense and a remarkably fine defense. Uneffectiveness at the backboard spelled defeat for this sparkling team. The contest became more evenly matched when Coach Stanley sent in his second team. These two teams then played a spectator's game with thrills and tricky plays. As a whole, the game was a highly successful affair. Eighty TAYLORVILLE H. S. ATHLETICS BASKETBALL TAYLORVILLE AGAIN DEFEATS PANA 40-23 February 7, IQ4I. Pana received another drubbing from the Purple and Gold cagers, this time by the score of 40 to 23. The local team was in fine form as it met the Panthers. The Pana quintet, handicapped by a large floor, fell easy prey to the Tornadoes. Although the score appears one-sided, the game was highlighted with all of the thrills and excitement that always mark a game between these two ancient rivals. The second team was sent into the contest early in the fourth quar- ter and continued to hold the Pana lads within the margin of defeat. TAYLORVILLE DRUBS MT. OLIVE FOR SECOND TIME 57-30 February 8, 1941. Taylorville won its eighth conference game in as many tries by subduing Mt. Olive 57-30. The Mt. Olive quintet was in far better scoring form than in the first encounter with the local basketeers. Although their offense was far improved, the defense proved to be faulty. Thus, another victory was added to the ever-growing list of triumphs. TORNADOES VANQUISH LEWISTOWN 34-30 February 14, I94I. Taylorville defeated Lewistown, one of the sweet sixteen teams that participated in the state tournament last year. Alhough only one mem- ber remains of the original state team, the combined efforts of the team gave Taylorville one of its most thrilling near-defeats. The Purple and Gold cagers led the foe throughout the contest, but a last quarter spurt by Lewistown narrowed the margin to two points. But the local crew recovered from their surprise and forged ahead to add another victory to the win column of their standings. TORNADOES THRASH GILLESPIE 27-20 February 21, 1941. Taylorville clinched undisputed possession of first place in the South Central Conference by defeating Gillespie 27 to 20. This was Tay- lorville's ninth straight victory in conference play. The Tornadoes have yet to suffer their first defeat. Gillespie proved a difficult hurdle to jump because of their fine offensive and defensive play. After leading by at least ten points through- out the first three periods of the game, the Tornadoes were harassed by long shots and clever ball handling. Finally, only four points separated the two teams. Two more baskets and the score was tied. Now was the time to turn on the heatg that is exactly what the local cagers proceeded to do. Five minutes later, the scoreboard showed another victory for the Tornadoes of T. T. H. S. TAYLORVILLE FLATTENS VANDALIA 52-37 February 22, 1941. V andalia served as host to the local crew in this encounter. The score was 52 to 37. The final outcome of the game was never in question after Taylorville sank four baskets in the first two minutes of play. Taylorville's defen- sive play was lagging a bit, but their fine offensive play was as sparkling as ever. Ben VVilhelm, husky Taylorville forward, tied his Pontiac Tournament scoring record of thirty points in this game. As a whole, the game was fairly one-sided. Eigh ty- one THE DRIFT OF 1941 ATHLETICS BASKETBALL TORNADOES OVERCOME HILLSBORO 44-29 February 28, 1941. Taylorville won its first undefeated South Central Cham- pionship by defeating Hillsboro 44 to 29. The local crew are also riding the crest of a sixteen game winning streak. The Hilltoppers struggled gamely for this con- test, but all went for naught, for the Tornadoes wanted this one. This victory was the first for the Tornadoes on the Hillsboro floor since IQ29. Ben W'ilhelm was high point man with twenty-two markers. PANA REGIONAL TOURNAMENT TAYLORVILLE AGAIN SUBDUES PANA 33-17 March 4, 1941. The Purple and Gold cagers won their first game in the Regional Tournament when they defeated Pana 33 to 17. This was the Tornadoes' third straight victory over the Pana Panthers. Taylorville led the Panthers all the way in this wild-shooting contest. Wilhelm was high point man with fourteen markers. TAYLORVILLE UPSET BY KINCAID 32-26 March 6, 1941. Kincaid snapped Taylorville's seventeen game winning streak and also the chances for competing in the state tournament by defeating' the Tor- nadoes 32 to 26. The Purple and Gold cagers were unable to penetrate the strong Pony defense. The local crew resorted to long shots, but the number of baskets made did not compensate for the ones missed. Taylorville led the Kincaid squad from the first minute of play, but clever ball-handling and successful shots knotted the count at eighteen-all to the end of the half. The third and fourth quarters were Kincaid's all the way. The local crew tried desperately to reach an equal footing with the M. S. M. champions, but luck seemed to be against them as long shots spun in and out of the basket. The team should be highly complimented on their splendid struggle to defeat their opponent, and we should always remember that victory alone does not breed champions.

Eighty-five THE DRIFT OF 1941 ATHLETICS BASEBALL TAYLORVILLE TUMBLES NOKOMIS NINE 8-2 April 14, 1941. The local squad inaugurated the present baseball season at Nokomis and won a decisive 8 to 2 victory over the Indians. Nip Dees was in rare form as he met the Redskins of Nokomis and he was especially stingy with base hits when there were men O11 the sacks. The entire team played consistently fine ball in setting back their opponents by the o11e-sided score. Nokomis had already won two decisive victories over other teams before meeting the lads from Taylorville. They were picked as a hands down favorite to defeat the local crew. TAYLORVILLE JARS STONINGTON 5-1 April 16, 1941. Bob Jacobs. in his initial appearance of the season, set back the Stonington 11ine with but three hits. The final score was 5 to 1 in favor of the Tornadoes. Stonington started strong in the first inning' with one run and had men on the bases when the side was retired, but here jacobs settled down and proceeded to set the lads from Stonington back in near perfect order. The local team scored in the fifth, sixth, and seventh for a total of five runs. Hubbartt elouted a homer in the sixth to add to the rout. TAYLORVILLE NINE TROUNCE KINCAID ll-0 April 21. 1941. The Taylorville baseball nine met Kincaid on the local field and drubbed them II to O. Dees was,ag'ain i11 fine form in chalking up his second win of the season. He limited the Ponies to two scattered hits. TAYLORVILLE FALLS BEFORE LANPHIER 9-7 April 22, 1941. The local baseball team suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of Lanphier. Taylorville led all the way until the last two innings when the Lions' pitcher poled two homers to gain the margin victory. Jacobs suf- fered the loss, but held the Lanphier team to five hits.

Purple skirts with gold blouses for the girls and gold trousers with tailored purple blouses for the boys were really smart looking. Despite the hard work of the leaders in their new togs, how ever. the cheers are still somewhat short of the needed enthusiasm. .-Xn attem it has been made to show conrtesies to visitors. Durinv one frame. when the on 6 N posing team had no cheerleaders, a Taylorville cheerleader led their yells. with the result that a game which was at first one-sided in our favor became an exciting contest. If our cheerleaders CAROLINE SIMPSON could thus encourage the visitors, they must be a slight inspiration to the home team. The improvement in the yells this year. if any, was due, as always. to the fact that Coach Prince's football team was undefeated and our basketball team won the South Central Conference Cham- pionship. Joyce Johnson was head cheer-leader and, although she's a very small person. her size did not diminish her ability.

L. McAdam Principal, T. T. H. S. Taylorville. Illinois Dear M r. McAdam : V I shall be very happy to deliver the address at the commencement day exer- cises on May 29. I have been in Taylorville only a few times since my graduation twenty years ago. However, I have renewed acquaintance with many of my classmates during the last few months in which I have been lecturing on my new book. I'm sure you will be interested in hearing about them. Six months ago I met Robert Jacobs in Paris. He was directing the con- struction of streets there. He informed me that both Leon Dees and Toni fldflllld' were working for a bridge company as Welders somewhere in southern France. It has taken a long time to bring prosperity and health to the survivors of the last war. The U. S. is doing a splendid work. M iss Peggy Berfncei and her band of nurses are working night and day. traveling through northern France. Margarei Mills, Irina Fleming, and Helen l'Vrigl1f are among this group. Dorothea Cook is bookkeeper and stenographer for them. In the newly built area of Berlin, I stopped at a restaurant which I found was owned by Mike Rains and Marcy Danner. Pefo Brown presided in the kitchen. Mike informed me that Leora Farnain was soon to take over her duties as book- keeper for his thriving business. In London I saw Caflzerine Sebben. She had sold her dress designs to a new firm, and she and her secretary, Madeline Harrison, were planning to go on to Paris 1 C Q George Miller is the architect for a large new department store in the business district of London. Bob Neikes is doing the electrical wiring. and Troy Betllard. lin: Grant, and Dennis Montgoniery are helping with the construction. I returned to the U. S. by plane. Robert Safaris was the pilot on that trip: Frank MeGarry, copilot: and foe Thomas, radio operator. The boys said that Florenee Manning, Mary Stephens. Virginia H- alters, and Isobel Madden became air stewardesses, but all had retired many years ago to marry the pilots of their choice. lVe made the regular stop at the southern tip of Greenland to have the plane serviced. Bill I-'Voolsey and I oe StI'Z'lll iS are both working there as mechanics. liVhile I was waiting for the take-off, Donald DeVille: and his mechanic, Herman Dalry, flew in. They told me that Chauncey Diss is barnstorming in Arizona. Curtis Ladd designed his plane. Don said that Eldon Roeseh has become the chief aircraft draftsman in the industry out in California. Another plane came in with engine trouble. It was necessary to keep the plane there for several hours. Two of the passengers, being in a hurry, transferred to the plane I was on. These passengers were Dorris Lowry and Elain Vaughan. Dorris had been singing in the opera in Vienna and had to be in New York that evening for another engagement. Elaine had been called home from a vacation One Hundred TAYLORVILLE H. S. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY trip in the Mediterranean to appear in court. It seems that she is aiding the gov- ernment in breaking up the insurance racket. Her lawyer. Norma Glzvrardini. had uncovered some information that would convict the swindlers immediately. IVe three had a long talk about the good old days at T. T. H. S. and about the many successful people we had in our class. Elaine remarked that it would be a wonderful thing for the country if Senator Hiram Sl1111112t'r1y succeeded in passing his bill in Congress. VVC agreed that Harold Humplzrvy was sure to be elected governor at the next election. His experience as a lawyer would be a great aid. Dorris said Evo Berlzaralini is practicing' law in New York and is fast becoming one of the most famous attorneys in our country. Elaine said that Dorothy Mathis is her private secretary and that Gertrude Shzzler, Calherine l ol1hu.v. and Darlille Beekmirr are stenographers in her branch office. VVhen we landed in New York. I hailed a taxi which was being driven by .llerle Seaton. As I stepped from the cab, I thought 1 recognized the man painting a sign on the front of a night club. It was Bill Green. Vile went inside, and he in- troduced me to the manager. Imagine my surprise when I found him to be none other than Bill King. Bill said his partner. Bernard Boston, was out of town on business. He invited me to come back that evening. I went and enjoyed it a great deal, for whom should I see but Rual Forsyflle and his orchestra. lark Rae, Lester Corso, Archie I'VflH1t I'. and Miles Lilly were playing. All of them have played with famous orchestras and had joined Rual to make up the smoothest dance band in the country. Laura Amvdei sang with the orchestra. The boys informed me that Bob Thom psozz is the conductor of the famous symphony orchestra in Philadelphia. Returning to my hotel, I found that Harold Broohens was night desk clerk. Lounging in the lobby was Bill Norm, house detctive. These old friends informed me that Betty Taylor was the dietician at the hotel. The next morning I went shopping. At the first department store I entered I saw Helen flzwseizis. She is the sales girl in the perfume department. Mary Elisa- beth Cook sold me a beautiful millinery creation. At the next store I discovered Joyce folzlzsolz. Betty Lou Jacobs, and M'areella Prasun modeling evening dresses. None of them looks a day older than when she graduated. I bought a paper and returned to my room. On the front page appeared a picture of Marcella McGuire accepting the International Art Award for the finest painting of IQOO. In another column I saw an article stating that the U. S. govern- ment had paid Tom Det'lin ana' Rirha-rd Miller a huge sum to destroy the formula for the new destructive gas they had invented. The boys had to pay for the damage this gas had caused when it exploded and wrecked property within a radius of six blocks. Glancing at the sports page, I saw that David Jones was slated to win the big league batting crown for '6I. His fame as baseball coach has spread throughout the Il. S. I recalled that Bueall Goodall, Virgil Mifelzelsou, Verne Friedrich, John 101165, and Charles Hall had made names for themselves in sports before they had retired. Reading the results of the races. I found that the big stake winner was none other thar1 Falling Star, owned and trained by Dwzfglivt Hnggiizs. One Hundred One THE DRIFT OF 1941 SENIOR CLASS PRCJPHECY In the society gossip column I notcd that Donald H afliger was soon to start on his third matrimonial venture. His fiance was a very young. very beautiful. and very rich debutante. Turning on the radio, I heard Bennie l-Villielnz announcing the first football game of the season. In a few days I started by train to tour the New England states. Ext Hartford Connecticut, I was welcomed by Helen Bundy, chairman of the committee on better nutrition in the city schools. Wlhile staying at her home, I met lnzogene Sands and Margie Ronelietta, partners in interior decorating. They told me they had attended school with Genetfietw Selzneia'er and that she was making a name for herself as an interior decorator in lylemphis, Tennessee. It was in a Boston high school that I met Mary Elene Lawler at a I'. T. A meeting. She is teaching Latin there. She told me that Marjory Da'z'is is a historv teacher in the junior high school in the same city. M ary Elene corresponds with several of our graduates of '41 who became teachers.

She told me that Anna Louise Mannell is teaching Latin in a Springfield high school. It was while motoring westward that I was in a serious accident. It happened near St. Louis. Wlhen I became conscious, I recognized the face of the nurse bending over me as that of Rosemary I ones. Inquiring about my friends I was told that Betty Hardy is doing private nursing and that Eileen Monaghan is a medical technician in Santa Anna, California. Glendora Fesser is a laboratory technician in Valparaso. Indiana. It was while I was in St. Louis that I heard that Lnra Mills and Margy Dycns were both retiring from their life in aviation.

XV hen I made 1ny visit to Taylorville, Marcia Martin, president of the Tay- lorville IfVoman's Club, told me that our friend Ellen Lon Siegrist was secretary to ta movie actor. She said a great many of the girls had married. A few of them are as follows: Betty Riester, Betty Thomas, Norma- Deawers, and Irene Harold. Norma Bell is a dress designer in an exclusive Chicago shop. Bennie Moler is the proprietor of a meat market, and Lloyd flslzlmrn owns a clothing store right in Taylorville. Wliile at home, I attended a farm bureau meeting and met many of my old classmates. Dale Reinke is farm adviser now. Many of the boys are farmers- Harry Clzesterlnan, Elmer Moats.

Bryce Dvcrrli, athletic director at Pottowattimi, was vacationing in Hollywood. From California I went aboard the S. S. Hampton and sailed for South America. Ray Haglar was on board. He was being sent to South America to test the mineral value of ore in Chile. Henry Finch, Jar' Ciani, and falzn illCU'lllSkl were among the sailors on board. W'hen I reached Panama.

Under his command were several I knew: Allen Oates, Harola' Late, George Gil- larle, Albert Ryan, and Jack Hall. It was in Argentina that I saw Allen 1X'll'lIL'fClfl'l' and his tumbling team on tour. Bob Scalan was there also, heading a corporation that wished to trade with Argentina.
