She llrhaita Hit}!] jskljool (Elicit atth ifofa Today progress is made by leaps and bounds. We are no more than settled from one leap until we are preparing for another. So it is with our educational advantages. The people of this community, inspired by the great university that lies in our midst, have b come firm believers in the utility of higher education and have given and continue to give without complaint of their means in order that their children might enjoy an education which in most cases was denied to them. The citizens of Urbana made their first leap in educational devel- opment in 1872, when they erected the first high school. The print at the top of the page opposite is an exact reproduction of a drawing made of the old Leal building six years after its completion, by a student, J. ( (Jarman. This old building may now be seen, somewhat repaired, as the central part of the present Leal building. The population of the city grew, and new demands were made of our high school with which the old institution was unable to cope. Sev- eral years of constant agitation culminated in the building of Thorn- burn, in 1897. With the erection of this school building, this city an- swered the second call of progress. For sevt nteen years the walls of Thornburn resounded the noise of classes in science, history and mathematics. In those seventeen years the at ten da nee increased from 200 to 150. Again the citizens of Urbana debated for several years—should they remodel Thornburn, should they build a new school—or should they do anything at all. At last, in 1012. after several fruitless attempts in former years, the city was bonded for sufficient money to provide for a new high school. This building was completed in the fall of 1014, and this spring the first class grad- uates from its platform. For several years the Rosemary has each year contained a plea for a new high school. The plea has been heeded. The citizens of Urbana have erected a building that should meet the requirements of this city for many years to come; but. however long it may remain useful, we look forward to the time when necessity will again touch this commu- nity with her wand of progress and produce another building, larger, more grand and more wonderful than the last. 7 HOAKI) OF EDUCATION Chester W.

The great universities of Vale and Harvard had just been started, while our own University of Illinois was undreamed of. At the present time, our school system consists of the graded schools, the high schools, and the universities; and it is splendidly organized both in the East and in the A Vest. Every village and town has its graded schools, every city has its high school, every state has its university; and in addition to all these institutions, there are thousands of indus- trial schools. The school system of tin earlier days was only a shadow of the intricate organization of today. This modern educational system necessitates the spending of millions of dollars annually; but it is an expenditure which is gladly borne by the citizens of our country, be- cause they realize the value of an education. The majority of our citizens have judged an education to be valua- ble; let us consider the facts on which their judgment is based. It is self-evident that their decision is based on the following points: First, does education make for the moral and spiritual uplift of the man? Second, does education increase the usefulness of the man as a citizen? Third, does education enable the man to win financial success honorably? An education enables a man to live a saner and nobler life by giv- ing him a cleaner and wiser interpretation of truth, honesty, and self- sacrifice, by elevating his conception of brotherly service, by providing him with a higher ideal. During the years spent in tin study of litera- ture a man conies to understand and to appreciate the emotions of love, of sympathy with suffering, of courage under difficulty, and of charity for all human weakness and sin; and, so understanding and appreciat- ing these qualities, he longs to possess them himself. He forms an ideal embodying in it the virtues lie admires; and he unconsciously makes his thoughts, speech, and deeds conform to the ideal. When a man forms an ideal and strives to protect it, he lays a strong foundation upon which to build his life. An education further aids in preparing to withstand the buffets of the world through mental discipline obtained by (he long course of study. Some people think that flu� sludv of Philosophy, Greek, Latin or Science is of little value to a man unless he intends to be a professor or a teacher. That is a false impression. It doesn’t matter what pro- fession he enters, whether lie becomes a banker or a farmer, a professor or a mechanic, the training is of inestimable value to him,, because the 37 qualities of the mind which are developed in acquiring those branches of learning are useful in all occupations. A successful man in any pro- fession needs perseverance, concentration, a keen analytic mind, and a good memory, all of which characteristics are developed in acquiring an education. The man win� spends several years at school usually gains a broader view of life, a keener understanding of human nature, and a more sym- pathetic attitude toward his fellow-men. An education enables a man to l� « a better citizen in several ways: since the fundamental principle of our government is that the vote of the majority is safe and wise, the citizen needs to be well informed con- cerning the economic, social, and governmental conditions of his coun- try. In many cases measures are submitted to the direct vote of the people; but whether he votes for the measure itself or for the man who shall represent his wishes, the voter needs that general knowledge of affairs, which is gained through a liberal education. Since the average young man is compelled to earn his own living, he is anxious to get out of school and to start to work. Me can not see the advantage of spending four years at high school and probably four more years at a university or industrial school, although a noted man has said that every day’s schooling is worth ten dollars to the student. The Massachusetts Commission on Industrial and Technical train- ing has gathered statistics in order to determine as accurately as possi- ble the difference in the wages of the boys who stop school when they finish tin grammar grade and those who continue their education through a high school or a technical school. Tin Commission reported the following as the result of its investigations: the average weekly wages of the hoys who went to work after leaving the grammar grades is four dollar. At the end of four years’ work they are earning seven dollars per week. The boys who took a technical training earn ten dol- lars a week to begin with. A difference of six dollars per week in the first, wages of each class. After the untrained man has worked twelve years, he is earning twelve dollars and seventy-five cents per week, while tin trained man who has worked only eight years is earning thirty-one dollars per week. Furthermore, the untrained man has reached the limit of his earning capacity, while there is no limit to the wages which the trained man may command. There is but one way by which the difference of eighteen dollars and twenty-five cents can he explained: the four years of technical training caused the difference. While these statistics were based on the wages of the graduates of the technical schools which fit a young man to make money by educating him in a certain line of industrial work, I do not think that the earning capacity of the young man who graduates from the average high school, which aims to give a general education, would vary greatly from the 38 warnings of the young man who graduates from the technical schools. It seems ‘o me that these statistics are the surest proof of the financial value of an education. Since the value of an education in all its phases is acknowledged, it seems entirely proper that the demand for education should he dis- cussed. Xevei before in tin history of our country has there been so much interest in education, and never before has the need of educated people been so great. There is no profession which does not need in- dustrious, well-educated people to specialize in their work. The people who do this can not fail to accomplish good results in building up the profession. The man who devotes himself to a study of the social con- ditions of tin country, and who can aid in bettering them advances the world more than is realized. The man who discovers a method for pre- venting the destruction by insect pests of the farmer's crops benefits not only the farmer, but all classes, since all classes are more or less dependent upon each other. The world needs not a few men for this work, but thousands, for the demand is as urgent in one calling as in another. Let me summarize the points for the value of an education, as fol- lows: first,, education influences a man to lead a better life; second, it enables him to be a better citizen; third, it aids him to win financial success. The man who possess only one of these values may lead a con- tented and successful life, but he who possesses all of them will un- doubtedly win renoun. Do not misunderstand me, Ladies and Gentlemen, 1 do not say that a man who has been denied the ndvnatages of an education can not lead a useful and successful life, that he can not win a place among success- ful men, but I do say that he is greatly handicapped by his lack of edu- cation. Many of the greatest men our country has known were denied schooling, but their determination and perseverance was so great that they overcame all obstacles and finally won the height to which they aspired. Among the men who have reached the top of tin� ladder there is a much larger number who have had the assistance of education in their struggle for success than those who have not had the advantage of such training. Considering these reasons, so self-evident and so im- portant to the progress of the race. I believe you will agree with me that an efficient and wisely directed education is the most valuable factor in modern civilization. Russell Somers. 39 Class Poem Like seeds when ripe are scattered To the four winds of the earth; Some to fade and mould and wither, Some to stately flowers give birth. Young men and women like the seeds Must be scattered ’mongst the throng; That bear the burdens of the nation, That move the world along. So the fateful winds surround us And bear us into the strife; Where duty calls,, and deeds await A hand, to give them life. — Horace Garinan. 40 jSalutatary--jsknutet The World lies vaguely smiling at our feet In sun and shadow; we perceive, each one A vision different from each—complete For one, tho hardly sensed. In glory spun To lit sweet dreams, our future lies serene. We’ve passed a gate: we mark the mounting sun With upturned eyes: we cling to what has been: We long for what’s to come—that to he won. A lilt upon our lips and in our hearts. We purpose good. Each in his diverse way Holds fast an ideal that shall shape the parts That lie will play Tomorrow, and Today. O School, () Teachers—that which you have taught, Will back to us again, with sunshine fraught. Marguerita Needham. Class |Irapl|enj af 1915. Juno 15, 1!MJ . (Enter Prof. F. T.

When the songbirds have deserted Nests for warmer southern b ds.

Thought to be entirely conquered, Then to them in their great trouble (’nine great spirit Waukan-tauka, Sent this hatchet for their rescue. Then tln y conquered all their foes, Laid them low in every conflict, With this hatchet slew the dragons That attacked them in their homeland. Then when all was fair and lovely, Whispered to them Waukan-tauka, They must bury their bright hatchet, Keeping peace within their valley. Once each year they could unearth it. Bass it to the coming nation. Tell its legend to the warriors, Of the coming Senior tribe. But when we approached this valley, Found we much confusion here. For the valley was too crowded. Few the wigwams for our people. Hunting grounds had grown too narrow For the number of our people. Then we heard a gentle whisper Coming to ns from the East Wind, Knew the voice of Waukan-tauka, Listened to his words of bidding. ••Take this hatchet which I send you. Hew your way to broader fields. Build ve there a statelv wigwam For thv growing splendid nation.” Thus. ) Princess, thus we welcome You to this new land of ours. 47 To this new and glorious wigwam, (Jive them now into your keeping.

(Signed) THE SENIOR CLASS. Witness: Lola Creameans Lois Beeby 50 Per Olive Scott. Class Statistics To Whom It May Concern: We, the illustrious class of 3915, in a general meeting assembled, appealing to “Mike” the supreme judge of this high school for the recti- tude of our intentions, do, in the name of, and by the authority of, this class, solemnly publish and declare these to be the only true, original, and authorized statistics of the aforesaid class of 1915. Hill of particular� The class is composed of 99 individuals, altlio there is enough ma- terial for fully 100—■“Fat” Parkins being equal to at least two ordinary persons. Of the aforesaid 99, fifty are girls and the remaining forty- nine are boys. It has been customary to give the age of the oldest member of the class, but as it might prove embarassing to the young lady who lias that distinction, 7 will refrain from doing so. The youngest person, how- ever, is sixteen years and seven months old. We will now leave the material statistics and go to tin immaterial ones, which are the true mark of the value of the class. It was unanimously decided that Horace Garman was tin most loyal member of the class. Lawrence Engle wins the beauty prize by a nose� . The vote for the prettiest girl was not decisive; each fellow voted for his own. Tin class is fortunate in possessing several humorists. “Johnnie” Waldo and “Scottie ' consider themselves supreme jokers and we all know “Germany” Frensdorf is a big joke, himself. There are two niches in the class temple of fame which are consid- ered obscure and, by some, undesirable. There was no ballot taken for class freshman, but we all consider Robin Tarbox as not yet graduated from the rattle and bottle stage. Conceit is usually unpardonable, but in the class of 15 it may easily be excused. “Dutch” Grabbe and Goldia Fisher are tied for the honor of being the most conceited person of the class. The Senior class claims among its fold, two relatives of the faculty, (a son and niece respectively), the liest pool player, the best musician, the biggest bluffers, a boy that has never cheated, a herd of gentle and well developed ponies, the best seamstress, most “crushes,” the best looking girl and the most gentleel young man. To this we might also add a Cornett, a deacon, in fact an Archdeacon, a Cook, a Fischer, a Fowler, a Hammersmith, Hud'son, Jack’son, John'sons (3), Hix'sons, two Lemmons (for somebody), our eighth grade class colors—P.lue and White, and to cheer us upon our departure—Goodspeed. 51 Iu perusing tlie summary of our talents you have no doubt found several larking. The most noticeable is men. Men are necessary in the projection of every successful movement and we certainly deserve much credit for our splendid achievements in the absence of men. We have but three—Trautman, Freeman and (Jarman. Everyone decided that the best tiling in Frbana is this year's Senior class. Tt is also affirmed, by those who know, that the Oregon street car service is the worst ever. Furthermore, it is conceded by all that this class is the largest, noblest, most famous, and in fact the altogether most notable class of the great galaxy of classes that have graduated from Frbana High. If you want conclusive proof of this you have it in the fact that the first graduating class to grace this platform, in this beautiful new building, erected by the citizens of Frbana and dedicated to Learning, is the class of 1015. Victor M. Henry. 52 Histnru of the Class of 1915 Tlie 6th of September, 1911, is a (lay memorable in the history of the Urbana High School, for on that day, we, the honored class of 1915, entered the portals of Thornlmrn High School. One hundred we were in number, and although we were not the largest class that bad entered this grand old institution of learning, what we lacked in qauntity, we made up in quality. Early in the year, we met in the English 4 room, famous for (lass meetings, and elected Curtis Cook, president; Helen Watts, vice-president; Adrian Henderson, secretary; Lois Smith, treas- urer; and Leila Stanley, historian. The blue and white chosen for our colors are the true symbols of the loyalty and purity for which the mem- bers of the class have always stood. A few months later, we chose Har- riet Morse for our secretary, owing to the sad death of Adrian Hender- son. who was drowned while skating on Crystal Lake. During this year, the class lost another of its members, Lear Stoek, who died in January. The beginning of the second year of our high school career, found 88 illustrious Sophomores in the class. Horace (Jarman was elected president, and the other offices wen tilled by Cornelia Siems, Stanley Golden, and Josephine Hurt. That year, our class was proud to own Glenn Gordon, for it was In who represented our school at tin welcome given in honor of Mr. McKinley, because Glenn had won tin McKinley prize. We were represented in the “Little Tycoon’ by Alfred Heckwith, Olive Scott, and many others with histrionic and musical ability. And so we came to tin Junior year with 86 members. We had lost only two of our former classmates. In our first class meeting of the year; Helen Freeman was chosen president; Frances Davis, vice-presi- dent; Wilbur McGehee. secretary-treasurer: and Marguerite Needham, historian. Four of our members efficiently occupied places on tin “Thistle” staff. We were represented on the football team by Sadorus, Parkins ,and Conrad, while Trautman represented us on tin baseball team. That year our class nearly won tin inter-class championship. The Literary Society began its career under the leadership of the Class of 1915. Its fiist president. Horace Carman, was a Junior, as wen all but one if the other officers. Three members of the High School debat- ing team belonged to the Junior cl°ss. A mock trial, which was well presented, was given by the Juniors as their program for tin Literary Society. During our Junior year, we attempted to keep up our social life as well as our school life. Helen Freeman, the president, gave the class a most delightful party. The class, as a whole, gave the departing seniors a pretty lawn partv at the Freeman home. That year,, two of the people who entered the High School with us, graduated, after com- pleting the High School course in three years. 53 Contrary to out expectations, we found ourselves at the beginning of our best and most imoprtant year, in “Old Tliornlmrn.” We elected to class offices, Louis Trautman, president; Lucile Holfortv, vice-presi- dent; James Kennedy, secretary; and Paul Clark, treasurer. At the beginning of the year, our class boasted of 00 members, 57 of whom had entered the High School together in 1011, 2 of whom joined our ranks in our second year, 0 in the third year, and 24 in the last year. During the year,, for various reasons, 5 of our classmates left us, and so we graduate with 04, the largest class that has graduated from the Urbana High School. Our senior pins were selected shortly after the beginning of the school year. On November 15th, we received our orders to move to the new High School building, which we promptly, and joyfully did. Here in our now quarters, we held a class meeting for the purpose of nomi- nating the staff of the “Rosemary,” the senior publication. Horace Garman was elected editor-in-chief; Cornelia Siems, circulation man- ager: Dean Stanley, business manager; Hulda Adler, art editor; Louis Trautman, athletic editor; Olive Scott, roast editor. Lucile Hoi forty, Nora Schneider, and Lucile Miller were appointed assistant editors: Prod Rowditch, assistant circulation manager; and Wilbur McGchee. assistant business manager. Our invitations were selected and ordeml early, so that we would be sure to have them here on time. Olive Green and Olive Drown are the class colors, and our motto is: “Immcr noch hoher. Always still Higher. There are two seniors among the officers of the Literarv Society this year: Martha Jackson, vice-president, and Lois Smith, secretary. Five of the six members of the debating team are seniors. The new school song, “The Orange and Black,” which was published by the Lit- erary Society, was composed by Horace Garman and Alfred Beckwith, who are both seniors. During the year, we have given two brilliantly successful parties. When the presumptuous, over-hold. Sophomores floated their puny pen- nant from the flag pole of the Urbana High School building, the val- iant Seniors tore it from its lofty position, and placed the grand obi flag of 1015 there. At one class meeting, we voted to make the class poem subject to contest —the poems to be presented to Miss Roberts, who should select that one which best represents the spirit of the class. The contest was decided in favor of Horace Garman. We selected Olive Scott for the class will, Victor Henry for the statistician, Kenneth Games for the prophecy, and Alfred Beckwith for the class song. The class voted to leave some memorial to the Urbana High School, and a committee was appointed for this purpose. Not only do we graduate with this glorious record of achievement, but also with the honor of being the first class to graduate from the new Urbana High School.

Dewey Conkwriglit .r, Histurg uf the Class sf 1916 On September G, 11)12, one hundred and twenty-five hoys and iris launched their high school careers by enrolling themselves as members of the class of 191G in the Urbana High School. As this class bade fair to make a name for itself, and in order that the advantages of organi- zation might not he lost, a class meeting was soon called and the fol- lowing officers were elected: President ....................... Dewey Conkwright Secretary .......................... Bernice Martin Treasurer..................................... Earl Miller Historian ........................... ITenry Mosier After becoming initiated into the complexities of high school life, and after the customary greenness had worn off, the class as a whole settled down to unravel the mysteries of Algebra and Latin,, the mo- notony of which was broken by monthly quizzes and tin much dreaded semester examinations. As soon as spring came, another class meeting was held, and Clyde Conrad was elected captain of the Freshman baseball team. Under his guidance practice was immediately taken up, the result of which made the other class teams look to their laurels. The class of 191G possessed an orator worthy of merit, as was evi- denced when Gladys Woody was chosen to represent Urbana at the oratorical contest at Charleston. And so, after a memorable picnic at St. Joseph, passed the first year of the sojourn of the class of 101(1 in the Urbana High School. With the coming of autumn, those who were formerly known as Freshmen, but who were now graced with the name of Sophomores, re- turned almost without exception, to pursue their studies at Thornburn. This time Jeannette Busev was elected President; Earl Miller, Vice President: Bessie Marsh. Secretary-Treasurer; and Hope Hixon, His- torian. This year the class of 1010 began to make itself felt in some of the high school enterprises, for to athletics it contributed Hobart. Conrad, and Bowers: while those of the class who were interested in literary pursuits succeeded in bringing forth one of the best of the class programs given by the Literary Society. In the spring, oratorical honors were again brought to the class when Dewey Conkwright was chosen as Urbana’s representative to the Charleston Oratorical Contest. The class baseball team was captained this spring by Ernest Davies. Although it did not win the championship, the team made the others earn whatever victories they won over it. 57 The Sophomore year, like the Freshman year, was closed with a picnic, this time at Homer Park. When the class meeting was held in the fall of the Junior year, Henry Mosier was elected President; Hazel Porterfield, Vice President; Everett Scott, Treasurer; and Russell Rowditch, Secretary and Histo- nntil spring, except tin moving into the new high school, which took place shortly after Thanksgiving. Early in tin spring a class meeting was called, at which Vera Jones was elected to give the Junior response to the Hatchet Oration at Commencement, and Delmar Allman was elected Manager of the Class track team. It was also decided that the class athletes should receive caps. Later, at a meeting of the Junior hoys, Lowell Maddock was elected Captain of the Junior baseball team, and Ralph Eaton was chosen to he its manager. On March 29,, Keith Fowler, one of the most highly respected and best loved members of the Junior class, died at his home on West Clark street. His death was deeply mourned hv the whole school. An exceptionally large number of Juniors have held offices and other positions this year. Among them are Dewey Conkwright, editor- in-chief of “The Echo,” a new students' weekly started in the spring of 1915; Dewey is also the Treasurer of the Literary Society; Ernest Da- vies, President of the Literary Society; Delmar Allman, track star and manager of the high school track team; Fred Smith, member of the debating team; and four members of the staff of “The Echo,” Henry Mosier, Russell Rowditch, Ruth Rirdzell and Fred Smith. And so the members of the (Mass of 1910 passed the first three years of their high school life. May the obstacles of their later lives be as easily surmounted as those of their Freshmen, Sophomore and Junior years in the Urbana High School. Russell Rowditch. 51 (EUihh nf ’IT President.......

As most of tin mem- bers of tliis class were energetic, the class organization was perfected in late September. The following officers were elected: President ........................John MacGillivray N ice President...................Richard Gossard Secretary ...........................

Eliza Garman Thistle Reporter.....................Josephine Blair Several members of the class, as Freshmen, displayed interest in literary work: some taking part in the Latin Club entertainment and some participating in Literary Society work. On April tin second, a large class meeting was held to select class colors. Maroon and Gray were chosen by the vote of a large majority. The Class of '17 as a whole, prepared an entertainment, which took Place before the Literary Society on the evening of April the seven- teenth. The Assembly room was brilliantly decorated with class colors and the entertainment added no small glory to the class name. In the spring tin baseball team was organized. Many games were played with other classes and, altho we did not gain the highest per cent, the teams which defeated us won only after a hard fight. On September twenty-eighth, 1914, we returned to Thornburn not as backward Freshmen but as the more forward and experienced Sopho- mores. In The month of November tin following officers were elected: President....... Vice President . Secretary....... Treasurer ..... Historian ...... Thistle Reporter . Douglas Fay Virginia Sale Harold Glenn Bryant Mason Dewey Becker Esther Barnes In football this year, several Sophomores tried out for the teams, r Douglas Fay was elected captain of the second team, while MacGillivray represented the Sophomore class on the first team. On January the eighth, 1915, we entertained the Literary Society and the event was declared one of the most successful entertainments of the year. The Sophomore party was held March 20, 1915. One of the most important events of the year was the raising of the 1917 }K nnant on March 23 by two energetic members of the class. We 61 are proud of the fact that ours was the first class pennant raised over the new High School. Thus we come to the end of our Sophomore year,, feeling that we have gained no small amount of honor for ourselves and for the school; and we look forward to the day when we shall assemble next year, take up our work at Juniors, and exalt yet higher the name and fame of the Urbana High School.

Elsie Kirkpatrick Treasurer................................ Don Mason 6 Stistoru of the Class of 1918 C� 9 The 28th of September, 1 ! 14, found almost one hundred and fifty would-be Fresh men, who had mustered up enough courage to cross the threshold of old Thornburn. Fpon their arrival they were determined to start their High School careers by not showing, by any act of theirs, that they did not know as much about High School manners and customs as the wisest Senior. They early resolved to have representatives in all of the different activities of the school. “Boob Childers and bee Pettys went out for (lie football team and proceeded to show the kind of ma- terial of whic h the (Mass of 1918 is made. “Boob was tin fastest, nerv- iest player on the regular team, while Lee proved to be one of the hard- est lighters on the second team. “Boob turned out to be the Freshmen all around athlete, for besides his football honors lie lias won a place on tlu varsity baseball team. Charles Scruby and Roger Wallace were destined to show tin ability of the class in an artistic line, and they are now our representatives in the High School Orchestra. The class boasts of 150 members, 84 boys and � (� girls. Tliis fact alone shows that tin class is an unusual one, for it is tin first class in which the girls have not outnumbered the boys. The Freshmen felt that they were especially fortunate when they were allowed to get into the new building last November, for there they were no greener than any- one else. Even the upper-classmen lost their way in the great corridors. The beginning of tin second semester found the Freshmen very happy, for but few from their ranks had fallen in the battles of the previous week. After tin hurry and bustle of settling down for the second semes- ter was all over, the class decided to organize. Accordingly a meeting was called on the 19th of February, and the following officers were elected: President ............................ Roy Childers Vice President...........................Avis Woody Secretary ....................... Elsie Kirkpatrick Treasurer....................................... Hon Mason Historian ........................ Elsie Kirkpatrick Avis Woody, Kathryn Watson, Mary Webster and Louise Whitaker were appointed to choose tin class colors. At the next meeting of the class, the committee reported that their choice was Green and Gold. The president took the opportunity at this time to appoint the committee which was to have charge of the Freshmen representation in the Stunt Show. Tin committee consisted of the following members of the class: Lee Pettys, Elizabeth Beuthien, Ted Swartz, Evan Davis, Avis Woody and Hazel Klingelhoffcr. The Literary Society held its First Annual Stunt Show on April .MO. The Freshmen won second place with a novel 63 stunt, a In-rt series of (lancox representing the historical periods of the I nited States. Mary Webster, Kathryn Watson, Elizabeth Beuthien, led Swariz, Donald Erb and Bussell Stanley took part in the stunt. The Freshmen were also represented in tlie operetta “Sylvia. Avis Woody and Elizabeth Beuthien were in the cast, and Helen Speas, Ted Swartz and Lee Bettvs were in the chorus. I'rom llie make-up of tin class baseball team we may predict that the Freshmen will make a strong tight for the Interclass Championship, as the first half of the season is over and they have maintained a perfect record. But (-veil tin Interclass Baseball pales into insignificance when we remember that the final examinations in June make the Class of 1018, Sophomores. Elsie Kirkpatrick. ilrcam- Cessmts “And your tea-set blue And your play-house, too Are things of tlx long ago ’ Do you remember when you played with dolls? Beautiful golden- haired, curly dolls? Happy, happy, doll-days!- I remember them as vividly as if they were the hours of yesterday. How fondly I mothered my waxen babies, and, proud little six-year old mamma that 1 was, I always bestowed my sweetest kiss upon my prettiest doll, the others, you see,, were sick-a-bed, too ill to be kissed. The mother of six years grew older as mother will do—and now my years were nine. On the radiant morning of that birthday, my pretty, smiling Aunty laid my last, my youngest dolly in my arms . She was an angelic creation with pale yellow curls, ami real eyelashes, and she was clad in a pink dress, and slippers to match. But, alas, nine years make one a “big girl”—had not my father told me so?—and so I waited tint i I everyone had left the room, before I bestowed that parental kiss on her rosy cheek. I know I loved that doll best of all, but it was not long before I laid her away to play with her no more. • • • This year I was in the fourth grade at school, and almost uncon- sciously I transferred my affections from the idols of my babyhood to a nice ruddy-faced boy, who sat next to me. I decided that I should marry him-not because I particularly liked him,, but because he owned a sled upon which lie generously allowed me to ride for one block every day noon, and sometimes he gave me candy hearts! When his charm faded, when I gave him up, I do not know, only I'm sure that the evolu- tion of my affection was entirely painless. “The rain bow gleams Of girlhood dreams.” Upon the dimness of my girlhood consciousness. Fairy Tales dawn- ed—tales of Love, Beauty and Chivalry. Unawares I had stumbled on what mv girl s heart desired—Romance. 1 had passed another mile- stone in the evolution of my ideals. Eagerly I read love stories and be- fore long i had concluded that I should marry a Lord or Count—I rather liked the sound of “Countess” better. I should, of course, dwell in Eng- land and perhaps the Queen might even ride with me. We, the Count and I, should have an “estate, —such a lovely word!—a vast park, with “masses of flowers and a tinkling fountain. I should sometimes gather huge bouquets of flowers to give, with my own hands, to the Tittle poor children,, who would come to peep at the beautiful Countess thru the high iron fence. • 68 Then, well, then, I had an affair with another boy, and one day in confidence 1 told him tlie Secret of the “ '«mutes� .'' lie insisted that men with titles did not marry American girls, unless they had lots and lots of money. We hadn’t “lots and lots of money,” I knew for once I had asked father if we had. He had laughed when he told me “No,” and money hadn't seemed so very important then. Promptly my fickle heart was turned from the “Count,” to he bestowed upon my sophisticated informant; and soon, very soon, we had agreed to be married and live on a farm. Joyful days followed; I lived in a rapture of house-keeping dreams, in which the boy played a very small part. The awakening from this state of bliss came cruelly and suddenly. It was my first real disillusionment. A new girl came into our room at school, and he of the ‘cheeks of tan” and “merry whistled tunes” spied beautiv in her long black braids, and with all of the stupidity—or cun- ning—of his s.� x, told me so! My answer came at once, together with a turned up nose and switching skirt, “I don't care.” His retort was just as quick. “Say, Nell, how does it feel to lie ugly?” As soon as school was dismissed I hurried home to make liiv first real acquaintance with the mirror. Yes, I was homely. My hair was short and curly, my eyes the ordinary grey, I was dark complexions! and had a few freckles near my short nose. 1 secretly invested in some lemons, which the Madame of the lleauty Column said were sure to produce a “lily white skin,” and bathed my face in their juice. Tin next morning my poor face, like Meddlesome Mattv's. i ‘‘dismal sight presented; my tender skin was covered with little red pimples. This failure of the Heautv Doctor's prescription ended mv hopes of becoming beautiful, and I decided that,—what couldn't be cured must be endured—consoling myself with the thought, that perhaps I should be like the “Cglv Duckjing,” a story which I had read the week before. Tty this time I was in the eighth grade and had been permitted to sing a few solos, and the music teacher had one day told me that T had a prettv mice. How I remembered her! If I had hated her before. T loved lw� r ever after. Mv mind was now quite made up. I decided that T should be a great singer, an opera prima donna, and thousands of people should come to hear my voice. T even practiced, secretly, a sweeping curtsey and a gracious smile, with which to delight my ap- plauding audience. I fancied that I should marry a Senior, at the I'niversity. whose sister was my chum—and T nictnrftd mv husband and I as sitting in mv dressing room. T was wearing a lovelv lavender (I never have worn lavender) gown, and a huge corsage of violets. I should lie answering J9 letters from my numberless� devotees—now and then glancing up to smile upon my husband, who continually gazed upon me with adoration. These dreams lasted all one summer, only to be rudely shattered in a single day, after 1 became a Freshman in High School. I “tried out for the (ilee Flub, and had just managed “to make the chorus, not one solo part did I receive! Other girls could sing better than I—I was not to be the idol of the public after all. My disappointment was keen, and when I tried to tell mother about it, two big hot tears trickled down my cheeks. 1 laugh about it now, but it was a bitter tragedy, then. My dream castle of Song and Senior-husband fell with a crash. ‘There, little girl, don't cry!” After this awakening, so sharp was my realization of the futlity of dreams, that my instinct for ideals was dormant for over a year. Through my Sophomore year I passed with only faint shadows of dreams, too dim to be remembered. In tin midst of my labors as a Junior, however, I became aware of vague heart-thrills, nebulous fancies, flickering aspi- rations, ail of which circled mystically around my vivacious English teacher. I should be an English teacher, I decided, clever and witty and kind—! Or I should be a poetess, and millions of children throughout our broad land should study my wonderful poems. Alas, there cam� 1 a day when teacher and poems combined to dissipate this vision—and the light of the lamp in the dust lay dead. Tell you about it? No, not now —ten years hence, perhaps! And so T come to the next promise, “Life and love will soon come by; There, little girl, don't cry, don't cry!” Cornelia Mae Siems. 70 I (Die iCittle |Jmk Merchicf “Yas’m, vas'm, Chloe was a good girl: the best she could o been; she all’ys tended our baby jes as tho Buddy d been her own little broth- er; the good God only knows who tol her different. I—my eyes 'r kind o' weak. Ain’t this dust awful,, Mrs. Grigg? I’m adioping it will rain, it’s been so muggy an hot this afternoon. There now! Ain’t the wind rising, a mite? I'll have to go and gather in the clo’es. You know Buddy ain’t well; poor little kid: you wouldn’t think he’d grieve so, now would ye—him bein’ only two—and the eyes of the speaker lit up thru the trouble-worn countenance with that brave, pitiful, poignant pride which only mothers, who are dumb when their hearts are break- ing, can show to the world. Mrs. Griggs watched Mrs. Erson till she had disappeared into the house across the alley. Yes, it was going to rain. A drop fell upon Mrs. Griggs’ cheek. The poor woman—and poor Ghloe! Just think, now, how Mrs. Jacobs has- spread the tale about poor Chloe an’ that worthless Jo Hearn! It certainly is strange that there’s such a likeless, tho, between Ghloe and Mrs. Erson. Seems like it was only yesterday that I heard Ghloe pipe out in her baby way: ‘Daddy, am I yours or ilia’s?' He’s l een gone these two years: killed, the night Buddy was born; I remember that. And how Chloe took on — poor child. I hope you’re safe, Ghloe, for your inn's sake. Mrs. Erson’s sake, but I fear somethin' 's wrong. 'Yell,” Mrs. Griggs became energetic, “I’ll have to get to work, too, or my chicks will have strayed clear out o safety.” The sun was setting at last; the long dusty grass by the road lay un- stirred by the feet of the workmen, who, so little time ago had trudged wearily homeward; the dandelions, mutely closed cried for the rain that had “blown over” once again. How long had Buddy’s fever raged? Mrs. Erson did not know; all night, all day—an interminable age: but she knew that the fever was broken at last, and that she was tired, tired. “Chloe’s coinin’ honey,—” she quavered numbly, and slept. Mrs. Griggs had done her best to help out in the awful crisis of af- fairs in Mrs. Erson's household. The intelligence that Ghloe was an adopted child had seeped out thru the village. And in the awful double calamitv the neighbors had, with mutual accord, dropped all uncharita- ble conjecture concerning Chloe’s disappearance; they even tried to reconcile themselves by recalling whimsies of Ghloe’s which could be con- strued ns being distinctly different from Min. and Mr. Erson; they ac- cepted Mrs. Griggs' sharp explanation of Ghloe’s being hurt when the fact of her adoption had been told her by some heartless wretch. Since the crisis was passed,, and Buddy lived, the neighborhood set- tled down to rest; and had anyone been curiously inclined, he might 71 have thot that the village was indeed, a village of sleep—or death, for every curtain was drawn, and I In reflected sunbeams from each mock- mirror dashed and glared upon the ijuiet road and upon the flaunting dandelions in the yards. (There was a stir in Mrs. Griggs’ house.) From the distance, from the direction of Bruges (the big city to which the youth of Spottville turned for careers glorious), a girl trudg- ed. She lagged wearily until she had passed the little creamery which obstructed the straight view to Mrs. (Iriggs, then she walked with stirred spirit faster, faster, faster; and in the oppressive early-morning heat, one cottbl have seen her wipe her pale, drenched face, again and again — ,'� nd she was gasping or crying as she came ever nearer. She yeachd Mrs. Krson’s gate; she noted the drawn blinds; sin stood weak,, timorous; she fumbled with the gate latch, then—as sin comprehended that all was silent when there should have boon the bustle of break fast-getting, she turned slowly away. “Is it on my account? Is Buddy sick? (), is ma angry at me? What shall I do? Mrs. (iriggs appeared upon her back porch and vigorously motioned to some one inside. She did not espy the girl at Krson’s gate . “I must learn what’s the matter,” girl murmured—“if something has happened, if I shouldn't come back, now, after all the worry, T must have caused’ I’ll just hide behind this old stump. Mrs. (Iriggs and Sarah are coming nearer!” “God!” she breathed, “let 'em talk; this once, God, let ’em talk what I want to know.” “Well, Sarah,” Mrs. Griggs began, “you feed Mrs. Erson’s chick- ens and then you go an’ tell Ma Crake that Buddy’s fever's broke; broke at 3 o'clock. Yes,, you were asleep when I came home Mrs. Erson final- ly got to have a wink of sleep—she was sound asleep when I came away. Buddy, little parched baby, says nothin’ but ‘dwink’ now. You know he kep’ callin’ for Chloe.” Chloe impetuously started to rise, to go to Buddy, when the speaker went on. “Chloe was adopted, vou know; leastways she isn't Mrs. Erson's child. Mrs. Erson told me that, don't you remember my tollin’ you? Maybe it’s better that she's gone. I’m of the opinion that Mrs. Erson isn’t able to stand the shock of anvthing more for a long time. Well, Sarah. Mrs. Griggs rapidly finished the mixing of the soft mash for Mrs. Erson’s chicks as Sarah sleepily awaited the final word.—“You run along now with the mash, an’ I'll have breakfast ready when you come back.” When Mrs. Griggs had gone in. at last. Chloe rose from her crouch- ing posture. “T’m a-going, ma; I’m—a-going. Wish 1 could stay, bin —I'm not your child,. Mrs. Griggs savs. I didn’t—know!” And stunned and suffering and calm, Chloe turned her back upon all that she held dear. 72 ‘‘Littis Ruddy,” she breathed, “You coinfort your ma, when you get well. You will, I know. I'm a-going back to the awful factory. I knew something ml happen; but I wanted—to surprise the neighbors— and ma —I've got a job, but everything's gone wrong an —I meant all right. That man at the factory—I hate him, but I've got to go back. Yes, I've done enough harm here.” Chloe was gone down the dusty road; she passed the creamery, she disappeared in the distance; Chloe moved on into a patli from which she never swerved. She never sought news of Ituddv, and ma, and the folks: “It'd tempt me,' she said pitifully, “o course, I know I'm not a good girl,, no more, but,” her eyes shone, “I’d die afore I'd let 'em know me now—me as use to he their girl and that Ruddy loved.” Mrs. Erson grieved for Chloe, and as she stroked the little pink kerchief which Mrs. Griggs had found by the old stump. Chloe’s little pink kerchief, “one that must have Mowed off the line—that day,” she said softly: “1 ought not to have doubted Chloe; I hope I didn’t do no harm to her when I told 'em she was erdopted; I didn't want 'em to think she'd run away with that Joe, tho 1 feared it. Chloe, my child! Why don't you come home?' Ruddy's little brown arms reached out suddenly from somewhere, and in a moment two pudgy little hands covered Mrs. Erson's eyes. “Guess, ma. guess who I In !” an eager little voice chirrup ed,— and a smile showed itself on Mrs. Erson's face; the old cheeriness, a mother's make-believe, the brave pride which is able to suffer all things in the world for the sake of loved ones. Marguerite Needham. u (the Xiterary J ucietu The first year history of the Literary Society was, indeed, a most successful one. The year closed the last of May, 1914, with a grand concert by the hoys' quartet, assisted by Miss Clapp. During the year, the quartet had achieved a reputation for its unusual ability and the assembly room at “Old Thornburn” was packed to its capacity by a very appreciative audience on this occasion. At .in ( lection held early in May, the following officers were chosen to carry on the work of the society for the year 1914-15: President ............................ Ernest Davies Vice President .......................Frances Davis Secretary ..................................... Lois Smith Treasurer........................ Dewey Conkwright Sergeant at Arms ...............................John McOammon Critic........................ Miss Kathleen Roberts During the first semester of this school year the activity of tilt society was hampered somewhat, because of the temporary quarters of the high school in the Thornburn boild’ng. France Davis, having other duties which required most of her time, was forced to give up the vice presidency of the society and tendered her resignation at the meeting on November 13. Martha Jackson was chosen to succeed her. At times, the management of the society has worked under great difficulties. Each vear brings more and more opportunities for high school boys and girls to neglect their school work for other activities. These opportunities and temptations have been greater this year than ever before. An effort was made at the beginning of the school year to merge all literary organizations (the German Club, the Lathi Club, and the Literary Society) into one big Literary Society. Although the ef- fort failed this year, it is to he hoped that in the near future all literary talent in the high school will be concentrated into one organization, thus giving the students an opportunity of enjoying all phases of literary work in one Societv: and assuring a much stronger and more perma- nent organization than any one of the different clubs could hone to maintain. One of the most interesting programs of the year was the “War and Peace” program given on December 4. Attorney A. J. Miller spoke to the Society on “Peace for the Tinted States.” lie advised the bovs and girls to grow up warm advocates of peace, but to he sore that their country was at all time able to maintain its peace. The war in Europe was reviewed for the Society by Leigh Stock. Lawrence Engle, and Horace (Jarman, whose talks were supplemented with maps and charts 74 S showing tin movements and present positions of the armies and navies of the warring nations. Martial music was furnished by the hoys’ quar- tet and hv Alfred Beckwith, at the piano. Other programs of the Society have been featured by debates, par- liamentary scraps, class entertainments, music, and oratory, all of which are improving as the Literary Society grows in age. It would be impossible, in such a large organization of boys and girls, to neglect the social side of school life. Consequently several so- cial occasions have been provided. “Most fun,” however, was had at the Halloween meeting, on October 30. After a program consisting of uncanny storms and “catchy” music, the Society enjoyed an “All Saints” party. Under the low canopy ceiling of crepe paper and in corners made cozy with cornstalks and autumn leaves the members enjoyed apple cider tsweet), pumpkin pie., and apples. The pies were baked bv the girls of the Society and the boys would have given much to know just which girl baked some of them! The second annual Literary Society picnic was held in Crystal Lake Park on Saturday, May 22. Tin committee in charge was Martha Jackson, Motor Henry, Olenii Cordon, and Lucille Holforty. Despite the numerous other picnics that were held about that time, tiio Literary picnic was well attended and those present thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and evening in the park. Horace Carman was appointed debate manager this year, and, after several weeks of correspondence, he succeeded in arranging for a trian- gular debate between Urbana High School, Grand Prairie Seminary and our old forensic enemy, Normal University High. Mr. ITimstedt was hired by the society to coach the debating teams. Tin value of his coaching of our debating teams was thoroughly demonstrated last year when our men won a double victory over Normal University High in the first debates that our school had participated in for several years. The success of last year repeated itself. Both our old and new enemies were defeated by unanimous decisions. At the suggestion of Mr. Flan- ingam the school board took note of the achievements of the Literary Society in this line and appropriated a sum of money for the Literary Society equal to one-half the debating coach’s salary. This kindness on the part of rim Board of Education was appreciated by the Society and by the school in general, for Urbana High is proud of its work in debate. The “Stunt Show” presented on April 30. under the auspices of the Literary Society proved to be one of the biggest attractions of the school year. The “Show” consisted of six separate stunts, consuming, in all, three hours in production. The stunts, including the committees in charge, were as follows: 1. “Scenes in the Union Depot”........................... Seniors Committee—Josephine Burt, Fred Bowditch, Wilbur McGehee. 2. “Pylvia ............................................. Juniors Committee—Henry Mosier, Tnez Lincicome, Anna Goebel, Fred Smith 76 3. The Musical Six. Alfred Bickwitli, Charles Sc ruby, Richard Kent, Louise Whitaker,, Ruth Renner, Dorothy Reeves. Coin ini ttee—Lee Pettys,, Elizabeth Beuthien, Ted Swartz, Evan Davis, Avis Woody, Hazel Klingelhoffer. During the performance, the audience was taken from the hurry and flurry of a large railroad depot to the bedside of a dying Indian chieftain, for r. time enjoyed the complications of young lovers in comic opera and in the twinkling of an eye, was brought face to face with a meeting of the Board of Education. Six of our best musicians played for the patient audience the same piece of music (?) at the same time (?). Dancing of all types from the time our forefathers first set foot upon this continent until the present day, was reviewed by children who the upper classmen supposed were still being fed with a spoon. Just imagine “Dank Gordon sitting beside Arlene with a Baby (doll) in his arms Jo Burt in short dresses—Helen Freeman and Jean- ette Busey “culahed folks ’—“Vic” Henry and Helen Watts eloping— —Evilo Tipton with several children—and, last of all, why the Faculty didn't give a stunt. All this entertainment at an exceedingly low price of admission completely filled the auditorium with a pleasure seeking crowd. The judges—Mrs. T. E. Savage, Mrs. Reese and Mrs. L. B. Howell—decided that the stunt presented by the Senior class deserved first place in the contest, the Freshmen second, and the Juniors third. The annual election of officers for the Literary Society was held on May 6. and the following officers were elected for the 1915-16 term: 6. The Healing Spring Camp Fin Girls President Vice President Russell Bowditch .. Esther Barnes .. Virginia Sale Secretary Treasurer Paul Van Doren Sergeant at Arms Lee Pettys 77 As this school year comes to an end it is most pleasant to note, as we briefly summarize tin many high school activities in which we art? engaged, the progress we have made in the most genteel of arts—the art of self expression. The opportunity which the Literary Society offers for the development of public speaking talent is, no doubt, responsible for milch enthusiasm manifest in this line. Through its hi-weeklv meetings in which free discussion of interesting topics is encouraged, and through the services of an efficient debate coach, secured by its en- deavors, the Literary Society has rendered a service of unlimited value to this high school. The success in debating this year was most brilliant; our teams won both debates by unanimous decisions. Early in the school year, arrangements were made for a triangular debate between Grand Prairie Seminary, Normal University High School and Urban a High School. Seventeen boys and girls, all of whom displayed unusual talent in argumentation responded to the call for de- baters. The question debated in the tryouts was, Resolved, That tin several states should establish schedules of minimum wages for un- skilled labor, constitutionality granted. Later, the other members of tin league selected this question for the theme of our argument i� the triangular debate. At the final tryout on December 2, Lawrence Engle, Ercd Bowditch, and Louis Trautman were chosen to defend the nega- tive side of the question against Normal University High's affirmative team, at Normal. Ured Smith, Orville Arnold, and Horace (iarman were selected to defend the affirmative side of the question at home against a negative team from Grand Prairie Seminary. John Waldo and John McCammon were chosen as alternates. At this tryout Miss Roberts, Mr. Howell, and Coach Hi lusted t served as judges. Early in the season,, it became necessary for Lawrence Engle to give up debating on account of scholastic difficulties, and his place was filled by John Waldo. The teams worked earnestly on the study of the question and in the preparation of their arguments, and from the first, the debate this year promised to be of unsuual interest. On the evening of March 3, tin negative and affirmative teams clashed in tin auditorium. Not until this time did the faculty and stu- dent body realize tin efficiency of this year’s team. They were most 78 surprised by Hie work of Fred (“Zeke”) Smith, who was a “find” of this year and who had had no previous experience. The arguments f both teams were forceful and convincing, hut better team work and harder “driving” on the part of the negative team won them the votes of three of the four judges—and a dinner for them and their best girls at the “Inman,” on the coach. The final test came on March (� . At 11 : 30 that morning the nega- tive team, laden with books, papers, and other material, departed via the I Jig Four to meet their opponents at Normal. They were accompa- nied by the coach,, who promised, as he bade us farewell, that they would “bring back the bacon.” This they did. The judges in the debate at home had no sooner rendered a unanimous decision in favor of tin af- firmative team that a long distance telephone call from Normal brought ns the news of a unanimous decision in favor of our negative team in the debate in that city. As a result of the rivalry existing between Urbana High and Nor- mal r. 11., due to the debate of last year, a large and enthusiastic audi- ence was present at Normal to boost their team. Every respect and courtesy was shown their visitors and at the close of the debate after tin Urbana team had swept their opponents off their feet in a whirlwind of masterfully delivered arguments, they not only received tin unani- mous decision of tin judges, but of the audience as well. The audience at the home debate, though small, was appreciative. The directness and sincerity of the home team, coupled with deep man- 79 ifest convictions concerning tlie present labor problems in this country, left the audience in little doubt from the beginning as to the final de- cisions of the judges. Our visitors were sadly lacking in preparation and were not nearly so “easy on the platform as their opponents were. The young men representing the Seminary were: W illiam Irwin, Charles Keighin, and Lawrence Inkster. They were accompanied to Urbana by Mr. Hubert Phillips, the principal of their school. Hon. Francis E. Williamson, the representative of this district in the State legislature, presided at the debate. The judges were: Royde Henry l.ode, Pli.D., Russell McCulloch Storey,. M.A., and t’hester A. Hanford, M.U., all of the University of Illinois. Mr. ITayry W oods, a law student in the University, kept time. After the debate, both (debating) teams, the officials in the contest, Mr. Phillips and Mr. Planingam, were guests of the Literary Society at a banquet served in the High School dining room. The committee in charge was composed of Martha Jackson, Cornelia Siems, Nora Schneider, Thomas Parkin, John McCammon and Victor Henry. The otliei debate in the league—between Normal University High and the Seminary, at Onarga—resulted in a two to one victory for the latter. The triangular debate was a success in every respect this year and plans have been made to make contests between the three schools an annual affair. At i tryout held before an assembly on Friday morning, April 0, Frances Davis and Horace (Jarman were chosen to represent the Ur- bana High School in the girls and boys’ declamation contest at Charles- ton on .May S. The other contestants were: Hazel Porterfield, Law- rence Ingle, (Juthrie Piersel, Hanley Thomas and Thomas Parkin. The selection chosen by Frances Davis for the final contest was “The Hazing of Valiant.’ (Jarman delivered an oration of Robert G. IngersolPs entitled, “A Vision of W'ar and a Vision of the Future.” Nineteen were entered in tin girls contest and twenty in the boys’. (Jarman weathered the preliminaries and got into the final contest, but Frances was iess fortunate and was defeated in tin preliminary contest. Urbana’s success in the track meet followed her into the declama- tion contest and (Jarman placed second in a field of five very able com- petitors. Public speaking interest is growing in the Urbana high school and the talent displayed in our oratorical and forensic contests in the past two years must convince the school authorities of the need of a public speaking department—to be incorporated with tin regular high school curriculum. so The Third Annual Miller Medal Contest was held before an assem- bly on Thursday morning, May 24. The contestants were. Gladys Woody, Fred Smith and John McCaninjon. The medal awarded in this contest was presented to the Urbana High School by Attorney A. J. Miller of Urbana and remains in the possession of the winner for one year. The winner of one contest is not allowed to compete in any succeeding contest. Seniors are also ineligible. The contestants receive two sets of grades on their orations. One group of three judges grade on thought and composition and another group on delivery. The medal was won for the first time by Edward Hayes in 1913. The following year it was awarded to Horace Garman. This year it was won by Gladys Woody. 81 lW iWtschc lU'rrin V� 9 Altlio tin German (’lull of this school year dates its existence only from December 3, it leaves a splendid record. Its purpose was: to stimulate interest in the German department, and to give a number of entertainments which would be partly literary and party social. The school board kindly purchased some German song books for the use of the club. The club bought an equal number, so that we now have forty- six. During the year the German students have enjoyed several sings. Our officers were: President................................Frances Davis Vice President........................George Stone Secretary ..........................

Since we were so soon to move, we decided to have the first party in the new building. This was held in December, and was well attended in spite of bad weather. An interesting program was given, consisting of charades, readings, games and musical numbers, followed by refreshments. A piano solo by Elmer Shaffer was followed by charades representing cer- tain classical characters, such as: Catamantaloedis, Cicero, Caesar, etc., to the great amusement of the audience. A story entitled “The Court- ship of Pelens was read by Olive Scott, and a Latin song, “Fleirt lupus parvulus,“ was sung by Dorothy Keeves, after a translation had been given by Miss Ilruner. I lie second Latin Club party was held March 2( , with a program of living movies, representing several dramatic and tragic events re- lated in Caesar and Virgil. Several of our number were found to pos- sess great talent, and, even after being killed in a number of acts, after- wards came to life in other specialties. The poem “Pyramus amt Thisbe’ was read by Florence Koch, a Latin-English poem, “A Lady of Ancient Home, was given by Eliza Carman, and an Italian piano solo rendered by Mahal a McOehee, to the accompaniment of a bass drum. Like all Caul, the program of the year is divided into three parts, and the third part will appear in May in the form of a picnic for the Club, which we hope will lie the best of all our parties, with many in attendance and many good things to eat. We feel that there is lacking in the Latin Club's activities of this year, only one thing which we planned to accomplish, namely, a Latin Play. We feel, however, that there have been plays given by so many other organizations, that we can profitably wait until next year. We hope that by that, time there will be printed a new play similar to those previously written by Miss Paxton, which will be worth reproducing. O. Latinum concilium, ab te malum absit omen! 83 (Die Hiistoru Exhibit � (_ k 9 Q. � History is more than a narration of events; it furnishes tlie prob- lems of civilization. Ask yourself questions; set yourself problems; your mind will at once assume a new attitude toward history; you will be- come an investigator; you will cease to be solemn and will begin to be serious. In something of this spirit, the members of the American and English history classes set themselves to the discussion of the problems of our own times. The latest magazines were their text-books, discus- sion among themselves and consultation with living authorities brought about conclusions, and the conclusions were promptly embodied in posters, which contained cartoons and striking statements. About thir- ty of these modern problems were thus embodied and brought to light for the Urbana High School on February 12. The long corridors of tin second and third floors were surrounded with posters, and, inclusive of the High School pupils, perhaps a thous- and visitors saw the work of the history department and were thereby made wiser than before. The general direction of the Exhibit was in the hands of a Man- agers' Hoard consisting of: Marguerita Needham, Catherine Gallivan, Ada Wharmbv, Leigh Stock, Jeanette Husey, George Stone, James Ken- nedy and Delmar Allman. S4 (the Zoology anb Jhusiographu Exhibits The Zoology Exhibit this year was not intended primarily as a •‘show.” I'sually a Zoology class finds the classification of animals tiio most difficult and uninteresting part of tin work; and this year's exhibit was designed to familiarize students with such names as “Orthropoda,” “Coelenterata” and “Echinodermata, and to enable them to assign ani- mals to the class to which they belong. The students collected all kinds of zoological specimens, named and classified them. The specimens were arranged systematically on tables in the zoological laboratory, and students were stationed at each table to explain to visitors the peculiarity of each kind of animal. The students who had charge of tin exhibit were: Paul Van Doren, Douglas Fav, Clara Ni colet, Charles Griffin, Thelma Strahel, Nellie Ernest, Iva Hamilton, Esther Hames, Clayton Hunt, Ruth Rirdzell, John Mac Gillivroy. Helen Easterday, Ruth Gallivan, Inez Lincicome, Gladys Richter and Tressa Gordon. The Physiography part of the Exhibit owed its success to Gladys Woody, who had complete charge of it. Anything that might be of in- terest to a student of Physiography had a place in the Exhibit,—pic- tures, petrified objects, samples of stones and minerals, etc. Those who helped Gladys to secure material and to explain the Exhibit were: Kathryn Watson, Maliala McGehee, Elmer Scrogin, Pau- lino Knipp, Fred Hurt. Frona Brooks. Russell Hawk, Grace Baldwin, Marion Lessing, Ruth Webber, Avis Woody and Frances Davis. S.t luiscumru J§iaff Editor-in-Chief ................... Horace B.

Rex Suffer Several j ears ago an attempt was made to publish a weekly school Paper. The school spirit, however, was poor and the attempt was a fail- ure. “The Echo was welcomed with delight and its continued success bears every sign of a long and continued career. The school should be congratulated on having three publications of such high repute as the “Rosemary,” the “Thistle” and the “Echo. The school is also to be thanked for the support and appreciation that it has always tendered these publications. Nothing can aid so much in the development of an educational institution as a paper published by the students of that institution. Such a paper furnishes good, clean reading for the student body, valuable training for the editing staff, and an opportunity for the boys and girls to exchange their opinions con- cerning the various school problems thru its columns. That the publications of the I rhana High School may enjoy a long and successful life and be ever a great factor in moulding the character °f the hoys and girls entering this institution is tin earnest wish of the Rosemary Staff. 90 Dramatics and Music The Hoard of Education was unable to provide for a complete course in music in the high school this year; but in order that our splendid musical talent might not pass unnoticed and untrained, a comic opera, in which all would-be singers were allowed to participate, was given in the auditorium of the New High School, under the direction of Miss Ruth Clapp and Miss Kathleen Roberts. The plot of Sylvia was simple but very clever. The whole opera was well interpreted and well presented. It was supported thruout with a large and well trained chorus which deserves much credit for the success of the whole affair.

The time has come when a man must know something about everything and everything about something. This is the age of specialists-the age of practicability. Scholars are no longer regarded as theorists and idle dreamers. Time was when an ambitious tlio uneducated man might work himself into high positions of trust and power; but such instances are becoming more and more scarce as the years go bv. Today a Uni- versity Professor is successfully guiding the United States thru the most difficult situation that we have encountered in many years. Today the cry is for trained men—not for freakss. A terrible struggle is being waged in Europe. The art of centuries is being destroyed; railway systems, including rolling stock, tracks, and buildings worth millions of dollars are being wrecked in the wake of invading armies. Engineering and architectural feats that have been the awe of ages—dikes, canals, lieantiful cathedrals, state buildings, palaces, and entire cities have become wretched, ruined wrecks: the wages of war. Alt ho peace is not yet in sight we must ask ourselves—who will rebuild these countries when the war has at last been ended? Certainly not those countries themselves; the war will leave them without men or wealth. Each day they offer the flower of European civilization as food for mighty cannon—human sacrifice to the God of war. Each week the war debt mounts by millions of dollars; and flu work of de- struction goes on. Immediately upon the establishment of peace, engineers will be needed to rebuild the great railroad lines, dikes, canals, and bridges; architects will be needed to rebuild the ruined cities palaces, and cathe- drals: teachers must reopen schools; business men must again lay foun- dations for prosperous industrial markets in the war stricken countries; and statesmen must renew attempts for jieace among men. Young men of America -here will be splendid opportunities. The hour will come when you will be called upon to right the wrongs of war and to establish the Rrotherhood of Man. The men called upon in this hour of need will lie those of sterling character, trained mind and worthy of trust. They needs must be educated men. No finer type of manhood can be found than that for which flu Urbana High School stands. The educational advantages of this institution are unquestioned. If tin training you have received in this High School is followed by a course in tin University of Illinois or any other University of equal rank we may be assured that you will he worthy and capable men to call upon in the hour of need.

Two weeks before school opened, however, fellows in football togs were seen in Van Horen Park, kicking, passing, and falling on the ball. Good ma- terial was at band, and Coach Hronson placed men for the opening game. On October 17, we met the Onarga team at Onarga. Not once throughout the contest was the Urbana goal in danger. The line held like a stone wall, while each man in the back field went over for a score. “Slats' kicked the goals, and we came back with a 34 to 0 score as a starter. Elated over this victory, the squad went through a hard week's practice. Every man worked well, and we were in fine condition for the Mattoon game on the next Saturday at Mattoon. We met a husky bunch and for three quarters not a point was scored by either team. Finally in the last quarter, we worked our way steadily into the ene- mies' territory. Then Doss grabbed a forward pass and ran thirty yards for the first touchdown. “Slats kicked the goal. This put “pep into the bunch. We received the ball; and with two consecutive long runs by “Curly and Doss, we planted the ball on Mattoon's five yard line. “Curly took it over tin line and “Slats'’ kicked goal. The final score was 14 to 0. Victors in two games, we met IUoomington on our own field on October 31. The record thus far established drew a large crowd and the greater part of the student body saw Urbana for the first time, apply the whitewash to their opponents. The first part of the game was well fought, but the weight of the Urbana men soon told on the IUoomington squad and the first half ended with the score of 0 to 0 in our favor. In the second half, we came back stronger than ever. “Stan received the ball well, while “Curly and Doss carried it for consistent gains. “Itoobs ’ tackling was a feature, and “Dill's everlasting “pep” made things whirl. Only once in the last quarter was our goal in danger, when a man broke loose and ran thirty yards. Then “Stan made a sensational tackle—nailed the enemy, and we recovered the ball on 97 � � '• Top row—Childers, Allman, Doss, Golden. Parkins, Emu. Bottom row—Stone, McDonough, Parker, Seiler (Capt.), Hobart, Bowers (Capt.-elect). downs. Two consecutive forward passes placed the hall in (he middle of the field, and again we inarched across the line for another touch- down. The filial score stood 32 to 0. The next Saturday, we met Sullivan. The fellows had been put through hard drill, for Coach Hronson well remembered the dope in last year's game. We had defeated Sullivan only 7 to 0; and with pros- pect of the same kind of a scrap at hand, the coach “had ’em work in' late. The crowd was on the field early and saw flu Frhana second team trounce the “town hunch 17 to 0. “Dug Fay's drop kick from the thirty yard line was the feature of tin game. The big game began, and, much to the surprise of every one, we utterly routed Sullivan in the first quarter. Their line was no match for our back field; and time and again, .we plowed through it for big gains. In the second and third quarters, Sullivan offered a better scrap; but in the last quarter, we came back again for 27 points, thus making the final yore 55-0. This was the fourth consecutive game in which Frbana kept her op- ponents from scoring. On tin following Saturday we met Danville on our own grounds. The Danville fellows proved to Ik poor opponents, and we decisively defeated them 01-6. Our line was crossed, however, for the first time when the Danville captain made a long run for a touchdown. This was the initial con test for two “F men, “Del” Allman and “(diet” Sa- dorus. These men greatly strengthened the line and the prospects for a heavy team with which to meet Champaign were good. On November 21, the team journeyed to Decatur. It was a very cold day, and a high wind was blowing. A few loyal rooters accompa- nied the team. At the beginning of the game, Decatur made two touch- downs in rapid succession. Frhana got together at the end of the first quarter and held them. The high wind interfered with the playing at. all times. Dili Dowers got in the game in tin third quarter, and we immediately began to win. Twice we crossed the goal line, but failed once to kick goal, and thereby suffered defeat by one point, the score standing 13 fo 11. On Thanksgiving Day, we met our Waterloo. For the third con- secutive time, we invaded Champaign's territory and suffered defeat. Their weight was the telling factor and time and again their line held when our back field tried to tdunge. I.anum and Kirkpatrick of rham- paign went j:round our ends for long gains at almost every attempt. We were handicapped from the start when “Curly,” our fullback and punter, was injured and forced to retire from the game. A little later “Iloob was taken out. rhampaign scored in both halves, making a total of 21 points. Frbana made its only touchdown in the last half after a series of attacks. 99 ) Howell (Coach) llarsitu JJascball “Personnel Trautinan ((’apt) Trautinan, Ixniis ...........

Six “I” men remained from last year and wlien practice l egan sncli others as Doss, Kins. Dennett and Golden brightened things by pledging them- selves to a berth on the nine. Doss, the star football man, proved to be a diamond star also and was entrusted with the pro- tection of the second sack. Golden and Ems fought it out with tin rest of the old men for infield positions, while Dennett proved to be the iron man on the squad and was assigned to duty in the box. With three years’ experience lie easily surpassed such prospective material as Gbilders. Kel- ly, Morgan and Madding. 4Slats,’’ “Too- dles and Ems fought for the first sack, while Waldo, Grabbe, Dine and Golden kept the grass down between the bases. Trautman easily won the receiving job. The task before the team was a hard one as they were to play all their games on foreign territory. On April 17. they made their first trip—to Villa Grove. Here they proved their worth by holding their op- ponents to one lone run. while they drove in fourteen. From tin beginning the Ur- bana bovs took tin lead, tilled the sacks in the first inning and brought one run home. The coach had lieen working the team the week previous on ‘hit and run and several times during the game it was worked suc- cessfully. The feature of tin game was Dennett’s pitching, lie held bis opponents to three hits, struck out eight men and walked none. Villa Grove’s only run came in the eighth inning on a two-base hit accompanied by a wild throw. “Boob” made the onlv long hit of the game. Re clouted the ball for three sacks and scored on an overthrow. “Dutch” covered third. ‘.Tnlmnie short, Doss second, “Slats first and Dennett and Trautman made up the 101 battery. They played fast, and the ball failed to get outside of the infield. During the next week the Varsity team played the class teams. In the game with the Seniors, Trautman was seriously in- jured and as a result was unable to play in tin Paxton game on the following Satur- day. On May 1, the team met Paxton, at Pax- ton. The game was exciting but disastrous to our boys. They were met by a shower of hits in the first inning; and before they awakened Paxton had crossed the plate five times. This discouraged the fellows and they did not regain that old Urbana “pep” during the remainder of the game. The game was loose at all times and our team was outlucked by poor decisions. In the seventh inning “P.oob” replaced Pen- nett in the box and worked well for the re- mainder of tin game. That same inning the team rallied, but it was too late to overcome the five-run lead of the Paxton team and Urbana met her first defeat of the season, with her victors only two runs ahead. The baseball management has met with some difficulty in scheduling games away from home, and, although many schools wanted to play us, on our own grounds, the school authorities as yet, have not seen fit to provide the school with suitable grounds for engaging in intcrscholnstic athletics. When such provisions are made, as it is hoped they will be in the near future., base- ball should take the lead in high school athletics. On May 21, Urbana met last year's keenest rivals, Monticello, at Monticello, and derisively defeated them by a score of 14 to ff. Every man on the Urbana team played 1000 per cent ball and not an error was made. Until this time Monticello had a clean slate, having defeated Gibson City, Farmer City and Tuscola in six games they had played. Other games were played with Paxton and Villa Grove. 102 3lutcrclass baseball Interdas baseball is growing in favor among tin high school stu- dents. Tiie games this year have been well attended by the members of the different classes and the teams representing tlie respective classes have played unusually good baseball. The Fresh men took tin lead at the beginning of the season and have succeeded in keeping it to the finish. Sophomores, Juniors, and even the Seniors fell before the terrific onslaught of the yearlings, and these youngsters finished tlie season, the undisputed champions, without los- ing one game. The star of the championship team was their pitcher. Madding. His good judgment, coupled with his unusual ability in the box, lias made hi in one of the favorite twirlers of the class tea ms. Excellent support from such men as Pettys, Schmidt, and- E. Green has aided the Fresh- men much in their victories.' - The Sophomores, in spite of having a well balanced team were un- able to make a showing in the race for the championship. Morgan did exceedingly good work on the mound, but his support was poor at crit- ical times. The Juniors, assisted by a staff of pitchers, almost scared the other teams. before long, however, they were vanquished by the fearless Freshmen. The Senior class team in spite of a good record for the two previous years was almost a complete failure this year. Golden and bowers, both of whom failed to become Seniors with the rest, were greatly missed, as well as blue and Waldo who made the Varsity. Parkins and McDon- ough made a good battery for I lie Sen ported.

Tin management of thb track team was very efficient. Allman, the star of last year, was elected captain, and Mr. W iggins, instructor in English and a track man of some experience, was employed to coach tin team. An interclass track meet was held on April 15 and Hi. The Junior class won the meet with a total of 72 points, the Seniors placed second, 27 points; the Sophomores, third, 11 points; the Freshmen last, 7 points. Hobart, Ctterhack and Allman —all Juniors, were the stars of the meet. ITolmrt featured in the high jump and hurdles; Ctterhack in tin half mile: and Allman in the weights and dashes. For the first time in several years, Crhana and Champaign were able to agree npon plans for a track meet between the two schools. A large crowd was present to witness the meet which was held under the most favorable conditions on Illinois Field. Onr sister school was vic- torious by a score of (17 to 50. After this dual meet between the high schools of the twin cities, it was conceded, by those who were acquainted with the facts, that the Charleston meet, to be held on May 8, would be won by one of the two local teams. 104 Such proved to be the case—and Champaign proved to have the winning team. Their final score was 32 ; I rbana, with 2d points, placed second, and two other schools, each witli 12 points, took third place. Twenty-one of the 23 points made by Urbana were scored bv Allman who won first place in the discus throw,, first in tin shot put, first in the 100-yard dash, second in the hammer throw, and second in the broad jump, besides winning recognition for his school, Allman won for him- self three gold medals, two silver ones, and a loving cup, presented by a merchant of Charleston to the individual scoring the greatest number of points in the meet. The remaining two points of Urbana's total were scored by Hobart, who placed third in the hurdles, and third in the high jump Urbana tied with East Aurora for sixth place in the twenty-third annual Interscholastic Track Meet, held on May 15, on Illinois Field. The 11 points won for our school were scored by Allman (ten) and Ho- bart (one). Allman won the shot put,—distance 4b 1-2 feet; and discus throw, distance 123 3-4 feet. Hobart placed fourth in the high jump. In addition to two more gold medals, Allman won the cup, presented by Ma-Wan-Oa, the honorary senior fraternity of the University of Illinois, to the best performing athlete in the meet; and two banners presented by the (tiilick Tailoring Firm of Champaign, who awarded similar ban- ners to the winner of each event. The performance of Allman was in- deed speclacujiir and In was recognized by the Chicago Herald as “The Hercules of the meet.” The meet (Class A) was won by Oak Park with a total of 32 points. Our sister school placed third with 20 points. Top Row, left to right)—Core, Mad dock, Allman (Capt.), Hobart, Stone, ('lark, Wiggins (Coach); bottom row—Vaughn, Scroggin, Utter- back, Van Iloren, Johnson. 105 The tennis team was not very succesic'ul this year in the Interscho- lastic tennis tonrnainent lield on the Illinois tennis courts. None of the hoys reached the semi-finals. Then was a good reason for this seeming failure, for all of them were matched against the best players in the tournament. Fay, however, showed great ability, ami easily outclassed his colleagues as well as his first two opponents. He defeated Oxley of University High, Normal, the scores being 1-8, (1-0. After this he de- feated Ids second opponent in a fine tight, the scores being 4-0, 0-3, 0-0. Fay's third adversary proved too much for him. He was defeated by Tarver of Hyde Park, who was the winner of the singles in the finals. The scons for (he third round were 0-1, 0-0 for Tarver. Fay showed unusual “pep and played good tennis and in a few years, we will not be surprised 1o see Fay a winner. II is cuts and serves baffled several of ibe players. (Irabbe. who also played in the singles, was not quite so fortunate in his round. Ills man came from Mat-toon, and showed a little too much “class” for “Dutch. (irabbe showed his mettle never- theless, and before the finish made his adversary work for flu honors. Waldo and .Mcsier were the other two representatives from Frbana. They played doubles together,, and did not show quite so much skill as Fay and (irabbe. Perhaps, however, their skill was not so easy to per- ceive, as they were pitted against Hammill and Meacham of La Orange. These two men finished firs! in the doubles, when the final score was decided. This was rather unfortunate for the Frbana players, as they were-Unable to get past the first round. Hammill and Meacham easily took both sets by a love score. At no time did the Frbana boys seem likely to win from these two men. Next year Frbana can expect to see some real tennis from Fay and Mosier. Waldo and (irabbe both grad- uate this year. 106 lue mitt pleasure tou|] rutsOom anh reason tmtf) tnirtl) (Our (Ltamxklrrs Tin Most Rrilliant . . .
