Text from Pages 1 - 268 of the 1923 volume:

FOREWORD Another year has pass- ed. In that period all of us, have had problems to meet. We have dreamed and hop- ed and labored, and in some measure at least,have learn- ed the joy of achievement. With the issue of the 1923 Rosemary the staff' completes the work to which it was appointed. It has been our purpose to mirror Urbana High School in all its departments and organi- zations; to embody the ever- quickening spirit of loyalty and good fellowship that governs all our student ac- tivities; and withal, to com- plete a true memory book, full of things pleasant and worth while. It is with the hope that our purpose has been ac- complished that we present The Nineteen hundred and Twenty-three Rosemary mmtx 1323 Slip Uuaemani Slir SUiflrmanj f’V AND GLADLY 1 LEfcaN ANPfe ‘DEDICATION In our two years of cooper- ation with him, we have come to feel that Raymond Francis Dvorak is a tried and tiue friend. We re- spect him for his enthusiasm, and feel that he has had an inestimable influence in shaping the ideals, reputation, and interests in our School. So, in part appreciation of his services to us as the Senior Class, and as the representatives of the spirit of the Urbana Hifch School, we dedicate to him The Nineteen hundred and Twenty-three Rosemary alie Hnspmarif xss THE ROSEMARY STAFF 1923 Editor in Chief Harold Z.

The president is elected annually, and two members are elected every year. The Board is selected by a majority vote of the people of the district, and receives no compensation. Regular meetings of the Board are held the first Thursday of each month in the Board room in the high school building at 7:30 p. m. Special meetings arc called by the president. The most important duties of the School Board in conjunction with the Superintendent of Schools arc to employ the teachers, janitors, truant officers, and other officers, and to fix their salaries, to select text books, and to adopt courses of study, to purchase supplies and fuel, to keep school buildings in repair, to submit bond issues to the vote of the people, to erect school buildings, and prescribe duties to teachers and others. Another important duty is to determine the amount of funds necessary to run the schools—not only the total amount, but also the amount needed for each item of the budget. The budget consists of eight main items .namely: General control business Educational Instruction Supervisors Principals Teachers Text l)ooks and supplies Operation of plant Janitors’ salaries, fuel, water, light, etc. Maintenance of plant Repair of buildings and repair of equipment Fixed charges Insurance, taxes Debt service Interest, redemption of bonds Auxiliary agencies Library, books, promotion of health Capital outlay Land, new buildings, alteration of old buildings. The real financial business of the Board of Education is to distribute the money collected by taxation and otherwise, as indicated by the budget above. Miss Walsh ' H. S.

When you long to be on your way To a land unknown and long miles off ’Cross mountain, plain, and bay? A land indistinct in the mists of thought, For it matters not where it lies, When your whole soul quivers with travel-lust Though the goal is hid from your eyes? Your body cries at the daily grind And you’re tired with life and work; You want to be tramping the whole day long Through sunshine, mist or murk. The road may be rough and the going steep, But, content, that your heart might bear, For hidden in each mystic leafy nook Arc your dream children, playing there. You sit and dream, and in fancy sail In the faerie boat of thought, With gossamer sails spread to wheedle the wind, That each tiny breeze may be caught. What joy it is just to sail such a sea, But what a more infinite joy To feel the ropes of the sail in your hand Than with any dream-child to toy. Have you longed to lie, on a summer night, 4 On a sweeping, wide, gray plain, And listen, with heart and soul to rest, To the prairie-things again? Have you wanted to watch, from your place by the fire, Each star twinkle out, and the moon-maid Send niOQnbeam presents to rev’ric and dream, Elusive and rare, till the night fades? Have you ached to feel the mire of the road On your boots, and the rain in your face— Any time, anywhere, any weather at all, On your way to no special place? Have you felt the urge of the wanderlust Compelling your heart and mind? Then, brother, together we’ll travel the road - ' To There, leaving Here behind. Dorothy Burrows, ’23. Kt 1U23 Sixty-five 11 1 ullic Suarmari| SALUTATORY Four happy years have we toiled here, Four happy years in this High School; Now that we’re ready to leave it We’re having this last time together— Commencement—to which you’re invited Because you’ve some interest in us, The promising class of twenty-three. So Now we arc welcoming you To these our last exercises. You arc the teachers who’vc hel|)cd us, Teaching us science and language, And mathematics and English, Helping us over the hard spots, Willing on ev’ry occasion. You are the ones who have helped us, Keeping our minds busy, healthy, C.aing just as fast, no faster. And you, our parents, we thank you For giving us so good a home-life; ’Tis you have made the suggestions, Oft times have helped us get ready For operetta or party; Always on hand when we want you, Ready to come to the High School For meeting or banquet or football. You, too, our friends of Urbana, Business men, lawyers and preachers, Grade schoolers, neighbors and students, Who always aid us by buying Tickets to anything, ev’rything, Football, athletics of all kinds, Chorus, dramatics, and so forth; Then coming out to enjoy them. Friends, and our parents and teachers, You are the people who helped us In Carnival, Stunt Show, and other Activities during the school year. You are the people who cheered us Whenever the days seemed dreary. Long, or too full of our school work— And many appeared so in passing. But when we look back, retrospective, Pleasant their memories seem, Making these years the finest, Pleasing for long recollection, Our four happy years at Urbana, Four happy years in this High School. Welcome then to our commencement, Welcome to you one and all. Mary Frances Windsor, Salutatorian. IU23 Sixty six CTlie fioarmanj OUR GOAL What is an education with out the side light of amusement? And what is amusement without the joy of friends? Friends are the most interesting proposi- tions in life; they afford us diversion, offer us sympathy, give us encouragement; in fact, they are friends, and we could never be happy or worth-while without them. There arc all degrees and varieties of friends—intimates, chums, acquain- tances, and even enemies, for, though it may seem strange, enemies are also friends. If we would stop to consider, there arc really no such beings as enemies; they are just another variety of friends. A friend is anyone who lends or receives help of a more incorporal nature. Though perhaps unconsciously, our so-called enemies are of greatest benefit to us; they are simply more candidly outspoken and more plainly criticizing than our so-called friends. Then, there is that type of friendship, into which confidence and utmost trust is cemented. These arc sterling friends and few and precious. But, probably the most popular friends, the best liked and most highly re- spected arc those who arc known as just good sports. They understand one’s Worries. They appreciate one’s efforts. They cooperate and toil together with life- long friend or total stranger. They arc constant and true to all They have ideals of their own and the character to live up to their ideals. And these friends arc able to sec other’s viewpoints and arc willing to weigh them impartially when occasion arises. They arc broad-minded and thoroughly dependable. Friendships spell success. Then, since it is success we all aim to achieve, cul- tivating friendships is, in reality, our life task. If one lacks initiative or ambition, a sense of moral duty or df self-esteem, who can supply these qualities, who can bring out the best in each of us, and who alone can gain our reverence? Just friends, friends and friends. Thus, high school is conventionally a training school for developing com- panionship, sportsmanship, and mutual regard. So, above all things, we have learned what it means to be a friend—a master- piece of sincerity; that only faith and hope and love govern the universe and com- mand friendship; that friendship lasts forever. And so, to all you, our friends, “Valedictu!” Mary Flom, ’23 Sixty-seven _ S 2 ® I «ir- iir miimiHn i u,|je SUisrmanj win Iirrmmiwi i ■■an ii,7g HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '23 I’ to the gates of the Mightiest City, the hand of awed pilgrims came. It was the eighth day of September, the year one thousand nine hundred and nineteen, and they were still hardly ready for the new life that awaited them. The borderland they were not long in crossing, however, and as the great portals swung open, they were gathered into the City of Learning, and immediately began to take notice of the customs in their new surroundings. Strange as were the new ways and government, such an ambitious band of citizens was not to be excelled by the orders that had gone before them. They realized the need of unity, and at once held a Council Meeting, in which they organized as the New Order of the Council of the Democracy, and chose as their officials: Charles Havens, Chief Counsellor; Virginia Thornsburg, Lord High Counsellor; Milton Bailey, High Scribe; Mildred Whitaker, Warder of the Strong Box; Beatrice Watson, Tale Teller; and Miss Thornsburg, advisor. Wending their way into the various parts of this Democratic City, some of the new citizens took up politics, others were attracted by the opportunities offered in sportsmanship, and still others who were destined to be future phil- osophers, teachers, and prophets of the world went seeking only for wisdom and record of books. True, a few adventurous ones often found themselves wander- ing in false avenues, quite lost from the rest, but, notwithstanding, all entered into the life of the City, and soon began to prove their nobleness and strength at first order of the Council Days of rapid progress had passed, when, to the dismay of the people, the (Four Orders of the Council were called to the Temple of Final Exams, where their scholastic ability was to be tested. With this encounter, two holiday festi- vals, and a remarkable record of heraldry in tournaments, the season ended and the First Order of the Council passed into the next higher division, and became the Second Order. The little band, now the most curious and enthusiastic of all, had quite for- gotten that they were ever strangers in this great City of Learning, and with ardent zeal and a spirit of true fellowship, they began their lofty achievements. At a Council Meeting they chose as their leaders: Kenneth Douglass, Chief Counsellor; William Noble, Lord High Counsellor; Frederick Riley, High Scribe; Mildred Whitaker, Warder of the Strong Box; and Mary Flom, Tale Teller. With Miss Osborne as official advisor the list was complete. Becoming the most active of all the citizens in the enterprises and interests of a progressive Democracy, they participated successfully in Olympic games; in the sport of basketball they tied with the Order of Seniors for first place. In debate they were represented creditably by Naomi Wyninger, Paul Miles, Mary Flom, and Richard Woolbcrt, and in politics with two of their Order on the staff of the weekly publication. These were Jesse Prather, Master of the Leather Portfolio, and Harold Holmes, Master of Olympic Records and Representative of the Second Order. Time passed, and they showed, more and more, the signs of a great people, charging into this and inspiring that, until the month of April neared, and they decided to herald the stately fellowship of the Third Order and hold a merry gathering in the Court of Fetes. Indeed, 'twas a merry success, being the first of.its kind, and the people showed much prowess at social entertainment. But alas! Following this festival they were again called to the Temple of Sixty-right I'wwwmi in � ■! 1 ■ii-i ix 1323 ............................... -..... irtg ahc Sanmary i=—=� wtif;iaaH Final Exam to prove their scholarship and destiny. On banding together after the arduous test, they passed through a third gate, and were proclaimed the Third Order of the Council. The third year the citizens grew very serious and earnest as compared to the preceding years. They entered into everything, and were considered the wonder of the Four Orders because of their numerous and noble achievements. For the third time they assembled, and elected as their leaders: Mildred Whitaker, Chief Counsellor; Luella Simpson, Lord High Counsellor; Frederick Riley, High Scribe; Vernalee Burpo, Warder of the Strong Box; and William Trelease, Tale- Teller. Their advisor was Miss Battailc. Several members devoted their interests to the organization of new City clubs, including My Lady’s Social Club, or “S. K.”, and the Knights of the Key- stone, or “K. S. K.” Others represented their Order in journalism, or as Knights of Football, Basketball, Swimming, or Track. The laurels of the basketball tournament between the Four Orders fell to them. Finally, five members of the Order were in the cast of “Stop Thief”. So they played their parts, climbing higher each year as the City grew in population and developed in Fame and Power. In the month of September, amidst the blare of trumpet and song, they passed on in dignity to the Fourth and Highest Order of the Council. At once realizing their esteemed place, they made their brilliant debut and then gathered together to choose their official leaders. These were: Kenneth Douglass, who had served in the same capacity when they were the Second Order, Chief Counsellor; George Rea, Lord High Counsellor; Katherine Strablc, High Scribe; Harold Watts, Warder of the Strong Box; and Vernalee Burbo, Tale-Teller. Their position as Fourth Order gave them many responsibilities, which Mr. Dvorak, as their advisor, helped them to execute; and so, being busy with the greater affairs of State, they imposed tasks on the other three Orders. In this year great honors were won by their members comi cting in the games of the Olympic Festivals. They were well represented in football, basketball, swimming, and track, and held the high record as winners in the basketball tour- nament. Early in the Fall the Order elected a staff from their number to compile for them a ’’Rosemary”, and these citizens did labor well to put out a more goodly l)ook than any other Order could have done. 'flic Order of Seniors, on May 25, held a festival at which it was entertained by several of its gifted members, who played with exceeding dash, spirit, and talent the comedy of “Officer 666”. It was indeed a success only to be emulated by Orders yet to come. Having reached the heights of attainment and glory to be had in this Mighty City, our band of pilgrims now with great Learning and Ambition did made ready to depart therefrom, and journey to other realms of Experience and Learning. In the month of June, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three, the great jiortals again opened, and each with hidden sadness took his separate road into the world. Vernalee Burpo, ’23. B 1U23JB Sirly-nint 9 alir Smamarg STATISTICS Gaze on the Class of ’23! What beauty—how intelligent—what signs of simplicity! In motion how like angels they appear to be. But after much calcula- tion, time wasted, pencils used, and more or less swearing, I am fully prepared to back these facts with figures. In numbers we surely are frequent. There are 166 members; 78 boys and 87 girls—and Mary Flom. In height the class is a veritable sky-scraper, the total height being 835 feet, •34 inches. Ihc tallest of us all is Joseph Blair with six feet and one inch to his credit. The shortest—well 1 won’t say who but it’s not hard to guess. By much careful work it has been figured that it would take four men the size of Carl Free- man to tell Joe where to go and what to do after he got there. We had a dreadful time about the weights and it was necessary to bribe I hoi pe and Ammcrman to allow us to use their ten ton scales for weighing such monsters as Paul Miles, Vera Marr and Olivia Meyer. The total weight was found to be 17,189.53 pounds, and if we were worth our weight in silver we would pass at $30,154,236.41. Not so bad, eh. In individual competition there was a tic between Ruth Langhoff and Mildred Whitaker and 1 will leave it to you to decide which is the winner. To prevent murder and man-slaughter 1 won’t com- mit myself by stating which is the lightest one. I11 ages we range from Herbert Wood’s 26 years, 7 month, and 18 days, to John Sherman’s 16 years, five months, and four days. However 1 figured two ways on this matter; first, I took their actual ages, and second, judged them by their actions. In the second calculation, Lillian Marr had no competitors. But the committee thought that we should have more significant facts con- cei ning facts than height and weight—something that would serve as an incentive to future senior classes! So we decided to find the intelli- gence quota of the average senior. After a great many scientific observations were made and the calculated results obtained, we found it was that of a student 21 years old. But upon checking our calculation we found we had left out Marion Marberry and Charles Havens, and after including their rating the quota was lowered to 13 years and six months. After studying many details and the personalities of the different students of the class, the amount of time spent in study during the four years we have been in school was found to be 656,373 hours. If we were paid regular wages for this work (?) we might pay off the Echo debt. The class possesses in the personages of Vernalee Burpo, Helen Boyle, Roy Graves and George Rea, a diversity of talent that would enable us to do anything from running Wall Street to being kitchen mechanics at Gilliland’s. We also have 13 boys who wear shoes bigger than 10’s; three girls who don’t carry compacts; 31 girls without bobbed hair; and one boy who isn’t a girl fusser. In the way of ideals we have to offer anything from Wagner, and Paderewski to Edison and Marconi. Truly this is the best class that ever dusted our old football bleachers. Bill Noble, ’23 Seventy 1U23 EHNle alie En0cmary gg� Eaqn i -m itaeaea CLASS WILL E, ihc Class of 1923, of the Urbana High School, the city of learning, county of understanding and state of intelligence, being of unsound mind and forgetfulness and considering the uncertainty of this feeble and fleeting world into which we are about to enter, do therefore, make, ordain, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament made in the city of learning: Firstly, we hereby appoint Raymond F. Dvorak executor of this, our last will and testament, in appreciation of the wonderful manner in which he has proved himself to be our leader of the past year. We direct that all our just debts and funeral expenses be paid by money derived from a tag dance held by the S. K.s. We hereby bequeath our rights and privileges to dust off these football bleachers to all ye juniors who may be desiring of that honor at this time one year from tonight. We also bequeath to that same group of students the honor of occupying the pews which we have so easily held down for the past year in the front of this room. To the Sophomore class we bequeath Carl Freeman’s position as the windy musician of the school so that they blow much easier about their accomplish- ments of the year. The Class of 1926 is hereby willed a part of the aloofness of the Class of 1923, providing they do not use it to too great an advantage. To Miss M. D. R. we beqeath a solid gold alarm clock, providing she set it back when she sees any of us entering the office, should we decide to enter once more as post graduates. BTo that guiding individual, Mike, we bequeath a group of electric signs, namely: “Hurry to your classes, Speed Up, Keep Moving, and Are you a Grasshopper?”; these signs to be placed conveniently in the streets of the city of learning so as to relieve him of the responsibility of being in all the streets at once. Hoping that Miss Zuleme Hatfield may soon realize her ambition of seeing her Rolls Royce upon the fair streets of this village of education we hereby bequeath her all the chewing gum wrappers of all the future gobs of gum to be stuck under the seats in the auditorium and the tables of the cafeteria. As a dying request we wish that Marion W. Clary would spare some of his attracting powers, toward the fairer sex, to J. B. Casserley, in the most sin- cerest hope that that individual may soon join the ranks of those now bound by the holy bonds of matrimony. The various individuals of the class have asked me to bequeath their person- alities thusly: Kenneth Douglass wills his position as the Shiek of the class to Weldon Mulliken, if that individual docs not use it to too great an extent so as to take away from Kent any fair maidens he may have captivated. George Rea bequeathes his justly earned title as cave man of the class to Adam Becker. The only request that we have to make is that he will not be as careless with it as Handsome was. Albert Cord desires that his position as the official chauffeur of the City of Learning be given to Guernsey Porter. Vernalee Burpo bequeathes her position as chief boy fusser, obtained by a legacy from the Classes of ’21 and ’22, to Mary Mallow. The Armstrong twins will their title of reigning supreme over the twin jjopu- lation of the high school to the Scheib twins. � i ' ip 1923 Stventy-ont mtwKn ahr iKiUicmani ............................... n Roy Graves does leave his only ability as a plunger for Urbana High to Fat Binyon. Allan Waldo’s natural ability as the class dolphin is left to Holland Pat- terson. Ted Riley bequeathes his natural eye for drawing beauty models to John Rea. Marie Exton abandons her position as the Piano Virtuoso to Irene Zack. After searching through the lists of students on the books we can find no one to take on the responsibility which Edward Jackson holds as comedian and general good fellow of the school. Robert Hubbard desires that his position as the modest hero of the class be given to Wilbur Knight. Stewart Wright leaves his ability to sing and act hard boiled in chorus to Zack Martin. At the same time we would like to bequeath Howard Trees’ vocal ability to Jake Judy, providing he behaves himself in class. Louise Bresee desires to leave her only possession, that of the title of queen, to Helen Holmes. Bernice Elizabeth Ann Clinkenbeard (Gosh! I’m glad she hasn’t any more names), bequeathes her volume of mouth and ability to talk anyone to a stand- still, to Dorothy Gray, Irene Zack, Helen Waldo, Lillian Jesse, Louise Still, Alice Oathout, Betty Yantis and Emma Jane Shepherd. Mary Flom wills her only accomplishment of being able to stay up all night and recite intelligently the next day, to Marian Baker. The class is only too glad to will William Trcleasc’s readiness to argue on any subject to Phil Hundley. Elmer Perry Hoggatt wills his persistence in his trips to Oakwood to Ralph Reno. Charles Havens wills his winged feet to Leo McBide providing he can become as popular with the girls as Church has. Bill Noble wills his air of importance to any junior who will try his best to elevate himself to the high position which Bill holds,—in his own mind. Helen Boyle bequeathes her silly giggle and perfect Haven Sisters’ curl to Clarabcllc Lytle. Burton Gibson desires that his license to sleep in English class be taken care of by Howard Lohman. As a class we desire to bequeath the power which Jesse Prather holds over Miss Ricketts to gain excuses on any pretext to all the future members of the freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior classes. Leland Shall leaves his hand manual, “How to Drive a Ford,” to Floyde Sperry. Mary Flom and Mary Windsor desire to bequeathe their ease at studying and ease of getting high grades to all the students who have flunked out in their work this year and will lie unable to continue with their classes without making up their work. In witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed my John Henry, this, the thirty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-Three.

(We the hatchet orators, desire to fcive to Miss Ricketts the credit of putting into rhyme the material furnished by us.) Kenneth Douglass Irene Zack Senior: Full many a legend hath been told About this hatchet, wondrous old; Full many a song has found its way From olden times to the present day. Telling whence this emblem came; And every take has added fame And interest to its mystic name. But careful research bared the truth Of ancient years to the present youth; And truth is stranger far, you know. Then all the hectic tales which grow In fertile minds, or man-made plot,— Imagined tales, with mystery fraught; But we shall tell you when ’twas got, And how it came to Urbana High, In those olden days, so long gone by. Before the whiteman came to tell. The wandering tribes of Kickapoo And Miama Indians lived here too; The Pottawatomies set their tent, And, as the seasons came and went. Returned to hunt the moose and deer Abounding on the praries here. Before Urbana was a town, They brought their people, settled down And built their tents near Main and Race Where Palmer’s Grocery grows aj ace. A little further down the hill There bubbled forth, their thirst to still, A spring of water clear and cold, ’Tis near this old historic spot That C. N. Clark has a business lot. When first the white man hither came With thought this Indian land to tame The red men of the Kickapoo, And all the other Indians too, Bore keen resentment; then they swore That they of sleep would have no more ’Till they had driven every man Of white blood out of this, their land. The Indian Chief, Chicagou, strove In vain; the white man throve. «-•Z3SBH (Tlir SriHpmarg xsm He throve in spite of trials severe, While ever dangers hovered near From every hostile Indian band 1 ho treachery against him planned. Then, when Chicagou saw at last There was no doubt, the die was cast, 'I he white man must be made a friend, The struggles, fighting, all must end If the tribes of Illinois Were to live and not to die. He gathered his chiefs together then And bade them bring both women and men, To meet the white man near this spring. With Indian chant and tom-tom’s beat The ceremony was complete. 1 hey buried a hatchet as a sign of peace, And they promised all their wars to cease. And kept thir word, and as time passed on Urbana grew to be a town. The schools were formed; the high school, too Was added as the system grew. One day—we do not know the year,— So cannot tell it to you here,— Some senior lads from Urbana High Stopped at the spring as they passed by To quench their thirst. One kicked the ground And heard a hard and ringing sound 'I hen they one and all would sec What this amazing thing might be That buried beneath the hard earth’s crust. Resounded thus to his gentle thrust They dug it torth and brought to light The very hatchet you see tonight— Chicagou’s hatchet, ancient, old. Whose legend hath just now been told. They made it a mascot for their class, And decided it should onward pass To each senior class as it came in line; And so it has, to this very time. But each class must prove it’s right to it By showing forth its power of wit; In mental contest, strong and bold, • But not with weapons as of old, The classes meet by proxy: I From the senior class do cry A challenge to the junior clan Upon this stage to produce their man And answer in person for his class, Before to them this hatchet may pass. Senior: I said a man, but I’ll l e switched If I don’t feel like I’ve been ditched! 1U23 Srttnlysix ...............

And think e’en that mite illy spent For all their brains en masse! I wonder that she’s here at all For at a game of basketball They tell me that big Howard 'Frees Fell down upon her dainty knees,— And split her dress, alas! To pay for this, or so I hear. She tried to chew off Howard’s ear! Junior: Well—old night owl, you’re not so wise, You, with your half-shut sleepy eyes; You who sleep through an eighth hour class, And still sleep there, when an hour has past— Whose courtesy has thus lxren tried— When you took a lady for a ride— And were not pleased with her kind of talk! You requested her to get out and walk! Perchance this reason was a fake— And ’twas just because she was with Jake! But you shouldn’t let your jealousy Drive away your courtesy! But I have heard, as matters go, Among the girls you’re quite a beau! One night with Helen, and then, contrary, You’re out the next night with a girl named Mary! Then, with both have turned you down You make your way to a neighboring town. There, with Dorothy you take a whirl! No matter which—just so you’ve a girl! Senior: You’ve done quite well. As all can tell In giving your roast to me. But the senior class Sits there enmasse For your roving eye to see. Pick out your man Do the best you can. And roast as hard as you will!

It’s a long way Phil, we surely all know From the top of your head, to the tip of your toe, And if you should fall, ’twould take a space As long as from here to the street called Race— But I'll tell you, folk, if the truth one hares— He likes to fall down the “Virginia” stairs! Junior: Mary Antoinette Flom There’s something I’d really like to know Please tell us the secret before you go! For it has surely baffled us all— How you manage always to be in the hall! In turn, I’ll give you two bits of advice, The first: It really isn’t very nice, To lose a collar-button down your back While the rightful owner does it lack. And, second, hear a few words more, Don’t sit upon the auto’s door. Best listen to the words of Phil, Or else you'll get another spill! Senior: Marian Franklin Baker Well, Marian, child, if I were you I’d try and grow a foot or two. Just think how awful it would seem, To be taken for a freshman green!

But Marian says, “My poor heart yearns, For neither Willys-Knight nor Stearns, Seventy-tight 1U23 ® alie Snaemarg The one with the style, the one with a dash, The one for me, is the one named Nash! Junior: George Thomas Rea Is it because he has such a cheek That he’s attained the name of “Sheik ?” Is it because his eyes are blue, That he’s been nicknamed “Handsome,” too? Is it because he’s straight and tall That they made him captain in basketball? But his eye brows have the queerest tinge, We wondered if he’d tried to singe Them just to make them grow We wondered, but we did not know, Till we heard he tried to light a pipe Which from Milton Bailey he did swipe, In shielding his pipe to get a light. Either in his haste or fright, The burning match dropped in the box— It is strange he still has any locks! Senior: Ralph Leroy Doutiiit George is my friend. I'd have you know, I’ll not have you abuse him so! For in your class if you but seek. You’ll find a man who is a “sheik.” I’m told there are forty “sophs” or so Who’d give their lives if they could go With Douthit to a movie show, There’s even one, who cried and wept When out with another girl he stepped. Perhaps ’twould be better if he could see That lie needs some time for Algebra III; If from these maids his hearthe’d wrench And put some time upon his French If more of his precious time he’d pass In preparing lessons for his class, But I fear it is too late, alas!

He has the greatest inclination With his heart in palpitation, And his self infatuation, And with greatest animation With | eculiar affectation, To stride the stage in agitation. I have heard of one occasion When he would make extrication Of his Sunday’s information From the greatest paper of our nation That he might have a real vacation From the preacher’s long oration. So great was his acceleration That he made no deviation For the door of his habitation. In the glass door he made perforation, In his head an indentation But for all expostulation, And his wild gesticulation, His pain found no alleviation. ’Tis best to cease continuation Of these words that end in ation, If we would gain your approbation.

He lent it then To Vernalec to keep until again His credits totaled thirty-two Just enough to put him through; But why should one give a girl a pin If he ever wants it back again? Senior: Elizabeth Blair She dreams and dreams the time away, Comes late to school, day by day, When one would a reason seek, She says, “It’s the very first time this week”. To keep her hands so fair and white, She uses “Hinds” cream every night. To keep her ankles trim and neat She exercises with her feet. With all of this she’s very nice, Quite deliberate and precise. Junior: Harold Zachary Holmes What would ever this high school do, We’d all be down in the mouth and blue. If we had no editor on our staff We’d never be able to grin or laugh! This year he’s had an actual taste Of what it means to have a case. He’d fight for his lady love, we hear No rival ever dare come near. The green eyed monster, jealousy Keeps him ever in agony. But perseverance will win the game, Persistence bring both lady and fame! Senior: You’ve done your best I will admit Eighly-ltco 1U23 m Slir Susrmarii The foibles of my class to hit. We’ve each of us filled our l oast And we have given roast for roast. I hope that you’ll not take amiss. Nor misinterpret the real gist Of what I’ve said' I pray you now Accept my friendships, kindly vow Permit me now to toast your class Ere from your circles we do pass. Here’s to you Juniors, one and all May all good things to you befall; Success to you. a world of fame, Bring honor to each junior’s name! Junior: We thank you for this kindly thought. Forgive the havoc you have wrought, Forget the unkind things you have said And call down blessings on your head. We give this greeting to you all As you go out to duty’s call; May every joy which you can know Attend your feet where’er you go. An olden toast we offer you, T s given with good wishes true: “Here’s to you early, here’s to you late, Here’s to the favorites of fate, Here’s to the best class in the State, Our Seniors!’’ Senior: With all our hearts we thank you For your toast so kindly given. For it makes a pleasant parting Of all bitter feelings riven. That you may pass your senior year We leave our mascot here with you; It will prove a blessing true; Guard it, handle it with care. And to it render service rare. Junior: We thank you for your wishes And for this mascot too. We will try our best to be To its traditions true We’ll guard it well, and use it well; And when from these halls we pass, We’ll give it with its legend old To the next year’s senior class. Thus will it e’er as years go by, Bring blessings on Urbana High. «aatsssHH «e 1U23 � Eighty-three SENIOR GIRLS’ BASKET BALL This year fourteen girls answered the call for a Senior Basket ball team. Despite this small representation a great interest was shown. Senior girls were given possession of the gym at least once every week and Miss Monohon offi- ciated as coach. I here was great competition for the various positions on the team, as elimination had to be made and so the rcj ort of those making the team was anxiously waited for. An end must come to all suspense. Helen Oldfathcr and Alice Wallace were chosen as forwards; Jeannette Altabe and Pauline Walker as guards; Dorothy Burrows as center; Lois Cole as sub-forward and Ruth Dunn as sub-guard. Shortly after the lineup had been selected, members of the team elected Helen Oldfather captain. She will be remembered as one of the star basket makers of all the classes. It was her sure aim which brought victory to the Seniors. Alice Wallace did excellent work as forward. Credit also should be given to the guards and to the diminutive center, Dorothy Burrows, who made up for her lack of height by her speed and reliability. After many hours of gruelling practice, time rolled by until November 20, the date of the anxiously awaited tournament arrived. Beginning with Monday, two games were played each afternoon, promptly at three o’clock. The first game which the Seniors played was with the Freshmen. 'I'hc result of the game was 11-3; nevertheless the Freshmen showed very good prospects. On the sec- ond «lay the Sophomores and Seniors rivaled each other in a peppy game, and by hard fighting the Seniors narrowly escaped with a score of 11-12. When the final whistle blew for the last game of the season the Seniors were battling against the Juniors. Hie score was 12-6 in their favor. Good sportsmanship was re- vealed by all the classes. The tournament, ending November 22, brought the girls’ basketball season to a close. «MO Eighty-four «S 1923 8� Lois Cole, ’23. J Ehr j uacmarif SENIOR DEBATING The debating team that upheld the honor of the Senior Class for the year 1922-23 was composed of Richard Woolbert (Captain), Naomi Wyninger, Charles Webber, and Kenneth Nieman (alternate). The first debate, with the Juniors, was on the question of whether the proposed Constitution for the State of Illinois should be adopted. The Seniors upheld the affirmative with syste- matic and well-prepared argument and exposition. The Junoirs supi orted the negative in a rather loose and unorganized manner, though none the less pas- sionately. The delivery on both sides was acceptable. The Seniors won this debate by the unanimous vote of three judges. The Seniors met the Sophomores, who had already defeated the Freshmen, in the championship debate. The question was, materially, “Resolved, that all claims for war damages against Germany should be abandoned.” The Sopho- mores supported the affirmative, the Seniors, the negative. The discussion varied from the question of Germany’s ability to pay to the question of whether the German people ought to be forced to pay. The Sophomores had worked longer to prepare their case than the Seniors, though the Seniors had their material well in hand. Although the Seniors did some fine debating, the Sophomores deserved the two to one victory awarded them. The Senior team, however, practically avenged its defeat by making the Varsity team in toto, while the Sophomores had no Varsity debaters. Also, the Seniors advertised the ability of their class by holding a debate before the whole school. Charles Webber and Richard Woolbert, class debaters, met before the Assembly on the adoption of the proposed Constitution. Charles Webber spoke for it and Richard Woolbert against it. This debate was especially interesting as it occurred just one week before the election. Richard Woolbert, ’23. :;£3 . 1923) Eighty-five SENIOR ATHLETICS The seniors easily won the class tournament by winning five out of six games played. The seniors met defeat this season for the first time in three years, at the hands of the class of '26. by the score of 10 to 9. The first game played by the champions was easily won from the sopho- mores by the score of 18 to 6. Green, Brown, Douglass, and Trees kept the score board going and showed some clever passing for the opening game. The second game was with the juniors. The gocxl guarding of Dilly and Jones held the ferocious juniors down to 10 points while Green, Trees and Brown grabbed 14 points. The big seniors had no trouble at all in downing the little freshman five in the first series of games played. 15-5. The five man defense proved to be success- ful in this tilt, allowing the frosh only one field basket. In the second series of games the freshman quintet hit their stride and gave the seniors a 10-9 trimming. This victory for the frosh was the big surprise of the season and things were looking bad at the time for the upper classmen. The next game was played with the juniors who at the time were tied for first place with the seniors. The game proved to be an easy victory for the champions and they stacked up 21 points and allowed their opponents only 9. The fast jun- iors could not get their machine working in this game as they had in previous games and it knocked their chances for championship to pieces when the on-going seniors halted them. The game that closed the season for the winners of the pennant was played with the fighting sophomore five. The seniors won 16-12, in one of the hardest games of the season. The winners had a safe lead on the sophs until the last quar- ter when Martin sank a couple of long ones and set them two points behind. With only two minutes to go the seniors called time out to sec what was wrong, and just after this Trees counted two points setting them on easy street for a victory. The senior seconds took second place in the second team tournament by win- ning two out of three games played. They defeated the freshman 12-4, the sopho- mores 13-10, and lost to the juniors 15-6.

Our freshman debating team was composed of .Allowing: William English, Philip Hundley, Elizabeth Blair, and Irent- Zach (alternate). This team was pitted against the sophomore team and it put up a scrappy fight but the judges decided in favor of our opponents. This defeat did not disprove our oratorical ability, however, for Philip Hundley made the Varsity team. He also represented the high school in oratory at the annual Charleston Contest, thus re- flecting honor on the class. Now we come to a truly great achievement, for the freshmen won the annual Stunt Show. We presented a very beautiful stunt called the Christmas Spirit.” It was coached by Miss Lowenstern. In September of 1921, though some of our members had dropped out, most of us came back, determined to add to our laurels. We immediately elected the following staff of officers: President ------ Philip Hundley ice-president - Winifred Cameron Secretary.................................Ralph Reno Treasurer - - - - - - - Helen Holmes Historian..................................Irene Zach Echo Representative - : - - Mitilda Kirby Faculty Advisor - Miss Pendergast The sophomore debating team was coni|x sed of: Shirley Engle, Irene Zach, Bernard Moser, and Lillian Jessee (alternate). Again Philip Hundley made the Varsity team. The sophomore stunt was “Life’s Greatest Prizes.” It was coached by Miss Pendergast, and was a truly fine performance. Ruth Brown, a member of our class, was chosen to represent the school in the Humorous Readings at the Charleston Contest. She won first place. It was in our sophomore year that the popularity of girl’s athletics began to revive. Margaret Schrieber was captain of the sophomore girls’ basketball team. Ours was the best supported team of all those playing in the tournament. The boys’ basketball team, of which Edward Longbons was the captain, placed second in the interclass tournament, 'flic second team, with Martin Green as captain, took first in the second team tournament. This year we are juniors—upperclassmen—with a full knowledge of the StMOa Ninety 1923 'B09FK1 alic Eaaemanj dignities of our altered position. We have Ralph Douthit, the athletic hero, at the head of our class, supported by the following cabinet: Vice-president '........................Mary Douglass Secretary ------- Ralph Reno Treasurer...............................Wilbur KnbrV Historian - - - - - - Elizabeth Blau Echo Representative - - - - Guernesy Porter Faculty Advisor - - - - - Miss Battaile The first contest in which our class participated .. tween the juniors and seniors.

'l he team which we produced this year to compete in the inter-class tourna- ment was “peppy” and plucky to the end. Our boys’ class basket-ball team related the record of last year; that is, we took second place in the first team tournament, and first place in the second team tournament. On the Varsity athletic teams the junior class has again made its usual good showing. Three members received “U’s” this year in football, and two in basket- ball. Several juniors were also out for track. As a final great event of a highly successful year the juniors gave the annual reception for the seniors. Exceedingly clever entertainment was provided by the committee in charge and all those present declared it to be the social occasion of the year. Three years of high school career now lie behind us. Only one is left! But the remaining one is the best and we are determined to show the lower classmen next year what the seniors can do. Elizabeth Blair. ’24 s 1U23 � Ninttyone JUNIOR CLASS ATHLETICS The basketball record of the class of ’24 is a record that anyone could be proud of. The first year of our existence in high school not very much could be said of our playing, as we lost every game. The next year found the fighting sopho- mores taking second place in the first team tournament, while the second team carried away first honors in their division with little competition. This year when the call was issued for class basketball teams, the juniors put out a line-up that looked like winners, but they were twice beaten by the sen- iors, giving them second place again. While the first team was fighting for high honors in their tournament, the second team again easily won their tournament with less competition than last year. We have the record for running up the largest scores and carried away the high scorer contest, Beresford winning with forty-three points. The personnel of the teams are as follows: First team—J. Gregory (Capt.), I). Seward, J. Belesford, F. Mumma, E. Collings, K. Hull, and R. Reno. Second team: B. Moser (Capt.), P. Mumma, H. White, L. McBride, M. McBride, R. Franks, D. Sperry, and E. Longbons. Ralph Reno, ’24 Xinety-ttro Tiwii—— � nTrjiiimiii 1 1U23 Site fiourmary JUNIOR GIRL’S BASKETBALL Last year was the first time in two years that the girls were allowed to play basketball. This year the girls were given permission to play again. Quite a number of the junior girls turned out for basketball and are certain- ly to be congratulated for their faithful practice. The team chosen by Miss Mon- ohan, our coach, is as follows: Mary Douglass (captain), center; Faye Hutch- inson. forward; Cleo Armstrong, forward; Elizabeth Knotts, forward; Lulu Jones, guard; Helen Waldo, guard; Bernice Fcrrand, guard. The juniors are proud of their team and the way they fought, even though they failed to place in the tournament. We will be seniors next and we must not spoil the reputation of the senior class. But, I am sure, the Class of ’24 will be prouder of their team next year. Mary Douglass, ’24 n 1U 23 S'iuft ythrre alir Snsnuani JUNIOR DEBATING Debating, as an activity, has never really been encouraged by our school as a whole. Nevertheless it has continued to exist, and its followers to increase in number. The Junior Class put in the field a large number of debaters. After class try-outs a splendid team was chosen, consisting of the following people: Elizabeth Blair Helen Waldo Shirley Engle , Bernard Mosicr These people met the Senior team on the question of the proposed Constitu- tion for the State of Illinois. They put up excellent contentions against it, and their influence must have been felt through the State at large, because it was de- feated most decisively at the polls. The judges, however, refused to give them the satisfaction of receiving the most votes. The Seniors were the winners, but the Juniors were good losers, as always. Irene M. Zack, ’24.

Hut we began right away to prove that we knew sometihng and we are still doing it. We elected the following officers for the first year: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Historian Advisor Echo Representative Jacob Judy Reid Evans Zach Martin William Weber Willard Monohan Miss Bryan Lawrence Binyon Our debating team was: Alice Oathout, Louise Still, Hertha Bowman, Mar- garet Moore (alternate). We triumphed over the sophomores, but were downed by the seniors. We won the annual Stunt Show, presenting “When Peter Blows His Horn.” This stunt was not as artistic as the other stunts, but, nevertheless, the judges voted for us. Those who wanted to be athletes started right out with lots of pep. Jacob Judy and Emmet Kirby received “U’s”. I he freshman girls chose Hertha Bowman as their captain for basketball. Although we won from the sophomores, we were defeated by the juniors and seniors. The beginning of the sophomore year we voted for the following as class officers: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Historian Adviser Echo Representative Emmet Kirby Zach Martin Richard Childers William Pierce Marjorie Wilson Miss A1 verson Frances Williamson Our debaters, Louise Still, Alice Oathout, Willard Monohan, Hertha Bow- man (alternate), won over the freshmen and the seniors (which was really quite an honor for us). Louise Still, we arc proud to say, made the varsity team as alternate. For the second time the Class of ’25 won the Annual Stunt Show. Our Ninety-fight I She Hoarmanj stunt was “Modern Cinderella.” It must be our object to keep this record up. We were proud of our girls’ basketball team this year. The girls elected Hertha Bowman as captain again, she made such a good one last year. The team was: Hertha Bowman (captain), F.; Virginia Vealc, F; Jnaet Woolbert, G; Doris Schieb, C.; Beatrice Sloan, G.; Louise Still, G.; Minnie Means, G. The sophomore boys made a good showing in athletics this year. William Weber, Emmet Kirby, Zach Martin, and Fred Harmon were our representatives on the football team. The first team of boys’ basketball consisted of: Zach Martin (captain), C.; Emmet Kirby, G.; Edward McGrath, G.; Jacob Judy, G.; Richard Childers, F.; William, F. The second team: Reid Evans, C.; Glen Chapman, F.; Harold Hurd, C.; Gilbert Wright. G.; Byron Holmes, G.; James Wilson, F.; Roger Connerty, G.; Marvin Kemp, F. When the first Annual Inter-Class Swimming Meet was held the sophomores were again victorious. Those on our team were: Edward McGrath, Ed Luker, Walter Schilling, Lester Leutwiler, Lawrence Binyon, Reil Evans and Zach Mar- tin . Quite a number of the sophomore boys have gone out for track, and they are all making good showings. If the sophomores can only keep up their dandy decord, won’t they l e famous when they arc seniors? Marjorie Wilson, ’25 m ahr Kuacmanj SOPHOMORE ATHLETICS The Class of '25 is a banner class. It has many accomplishments to boast of. Athletically it has an invincible record. Four of its members wear the coveted U,” won in football last fall. They are: Jacob Judy, Emmett Kirby, William Webber, and Roger Conerty. Jacob Judy had the honor to be the only man to play every minute of every game. We were all well represented on the basketball squad with William Webber and Zach Martin substituting. The inter-class swimming meet was held, and the sophomores took first honors in this. The teams consisted of: W. Schilling. R. Evans, L. Binyon, E. Lukcr, E. McGrath. Schilling took first place in fancy diving, and Luker second. Binyon took first in the plunge. The next important event in athletics was class basketball. The basketball squad met and elected Zach Martin as captain and then put in some hard practice. In the games the team did not show up very well, but did not give up till the last whistle blew. The personnel of the squad was, first team: Kemp, Pierce, Childers, Judy, McGrath, Holmes, Martin C.) ; seconds: Evans, Chapman, Wil- son, Wright, and Kirby. I11 track William Webber, and Emmett Kirby, the only sophomores out for this line of sport, made an excellent showing for their class. Although the teams were not very successful in piling up high scores, they were well represented in every branch of athletics. This shows the patriotic spirit of the sophomores. Zack Martin, ’25 One Hundred iinnimi —c-rtf «s 1023 SOPHOMORE GIRLS’ BASKET BALL Again the Sophomores have made a record for themselves, this time in girls’ basket ball. The class of ’25 took second place in the inter-class tournament, losing only to the final victors, the Seniors. From the twenty-five girls who went out to practice in October the regular team was picked with three substitutes. Doris Scheib played center with Hertha Bowmen and Virginia Veal as forwards. Amelia Schrieber substituted. Beatrice Sloan, Minnie Means, Janet Woolbert and Louise Still held positions as guards, Beatrice Sloan being the only first team guard selected. Hertha Bowmen was again elected captain. Our first game was with the Juniors, whom we defeated easily. The next evening we were scheduled to meet the Freshmen. After a good game during which the girls of ’26 put up a hard fight, the Sophomores won with a score of 22-10. Our last game was with the Seniors. The girls all knew that the victors of the Senior-Sophomore game would be inter-class champions, and they played accordingly. After much work on the part of all who played, the Seniors came out victorious with a score of 12-10. With the Seniors out of school, the class of ’25 should be the banner class in girls’ basket ball next year. Alice Oathout, 25. aera 1923 « (£ ■ One Hundred One wmammassanm fl Shr fiaarmaru H� In debating as in other school activities, the Sophomore class has again proved its worth. The team, composed of Louise Still. Alice Oathout, Willard Monohan, with Hcrtha Bowmen as alternate, met the Freshmen in the second de- bate of the season. The question was: Resolved that the manager form of city government be adopted by all cities in the United States with a population of over ten thousand. After about ninety minutes of quick thinking and arguing the Sophomores convinced the judges that this would be an unwise plan to accept. As a result of the Junior-Senior and Sophomore-Freshman debate, the Soph- omores met the Seniors in the final debate of the season. The class of ’25 again took the negative of the question: Resolved that the allies should abandon the claims on Germany for reparation, and again was victorious. So with the inter-class championship to our credit in this, our second year in high school, we hope in our remaining years, not only to be victors, but to have some of our members varsity debaters.

Six of these people moved out of town, four of them did not continue their school ca- reers. but the rest, with a large group of people from the country and other schools—a total of two hundred twenty-five—entered Urbana High School on September 13, 1922. Now for our history—we were the usual inquisitive, interested crowd. We took great interest in all the activities and soon organized with the following as officers: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Historian Echo Representative Class Adviser Charles Johnson Verna Daily Helen Tobias Edwin Martin Leota Miller Walter Gibson Miss Vira Bryan We tried our luck in the Stunt Show, but the vote went to the sophomores. Our stunt was a portrayal of the chief incidents in the history of America. About fifty freshmen tried out for the debating team: the following were selected: Emma Jane Shepherd, Bowland Brooks, and Charles Harris, with Leota Miller as alternate. This team battled valiantly with the sophomores but lost to them in the final decision. A girls’ basketball team was organized under the direction of Miss M0110- han. The girls who made the team were: Harriet Hadlock (capt.), F.; Kathryn Veach, F.; Blanche Huffer, G; Hazel Baugh, G.; and Nina Patterson. G. The substitutes were: Leota Miller, Patty Brennan, Jean Thorpe. We were not represented on the varsity football or basketball teams, but we did have some parts in the Mid-Year Play. The parts of the orphans, Mamie, Loretta and Gladiola were taken by Vonna Marr, Patty Brennan and Leota Mil- ler. The boys’ basketball team was composed of Wayne Mann, F.; Weldon Mull- iken, G.; Gleason Bradley, G.; Milton Lemmon, C.; and Wesley Holmes, F. A11 All-Star team was picked from the l est players in the Inter-Class Tournament. We were represented on this team by Wesley Holmes who was named as for- ward. Weldon Mulliken was our representative in the swimming meet. When we freshmen entered high school we did act as dumb as the usual no- vices in an institution like this, but by the splendid teaching of the upper classmen we were taught this: I learts, like doors, will open with ease. To very, very little keys, And don’t forget that two of these Are,“ I thank you,” and “If you please.” A problem that faced the freshmen was this—“yyuryyubicuryyqmee.” Interpret this!!!!!! Leota Miller, ’26 One Hundred Six FRESHMAN BOYS’ ATHLETICS About forty Freshman boys answered the call for class basketball. A first and second team were chosen to represent the class. The seconds, with the able assistance of Thornton and Walker, Freshman forward and guard, finished in third place, losing two games and winning one. The firsts also finished in third place by winning three and losing three. They sprang the surprise of the tour- nament by giving the fast Senior five, champions for three years, their first and only defeat. Wesley Holmes tossed two perfect free throws, one tying the score of one game, and the other winning a game for the Freshmen.

The freshman team was made up of Blanche Wilson, Nina Patterson, and Jean Thorpe, guards; Harriet Hadiock (Capt.), Katherine Veach, Leota Miller and Patty Brennan, forwards; Blanche Huffer, center. These girls took first place in the tournament. The first night of the tournament they were overwhelmed by the seniors, in a game which started well but ended disastrously for the underclass ladies. The next night the freshmen were victorious in a game with the juniors. Their second defeat was at the hands of the strong sophomore team, in the last game of the tournament for the first year girls. Harriet Hadlock, ’26 The question for the freshman-sophomore debating try-outs was, “Resolved, that all moving picture shows should he closed on Sunday. Those chosen to rep- resent the Freshmen were Charles Harris, Boland Brooks and Emma Jane Shep- herd with Leota Miller as alternate. After two weeks of hard work the debate was held. The question was, “Re- solved, that all cities having a population of ten thousand or over should adopt the city manager plan of government.” Louise Still and Willard Monohon seemed to be of equal calibre, while “Sally” Oathout's arguments were very effective. The judges vote was unanimous for the sophomores, who supj ortcd the nega- tive. The freshman debaters showed promise in voice and delivery, which in another year may be develoj cd into excellent varsity material.

They started the class organization by electing the following officers: President................................Jack Voorhees Vice-president .... Vernon Brown Secretary................................Carter Miller Treasurer..................................Kermit Brian Echo Representative ... Kitty Kcmpner Historian................................Wilma CrcAc In November Kitty Kcmpner gave a party for all the members. The evening was spent in music, games, and mathematical puzzles. The Post Graduates arc a mixed class, and it is really necessary to give a separate history of the entire class. Jack Voorhees came to Urbana from Alton, Illinois, where he had attended the McKinley, Irving, and Lincoln Schools, and the Alton High School. He made the eight grades in six and one half years and high school in three years, graduating before he was sixteen. Being too young to enter the Univer- sity, he came to Urbana the first semester and entered the University the second. Jack has been prominent in the high school because of his ability as a violinist He played first violin in the orchestra. Kermit Brian attended the District Center School and the Summer High in Sumner, Illinois. As the Summer High School is unaccredited, it was neces- sary for him to graduate from an accredited school before entering the Univer- sity of Illinois. Carter Miller and Vernon Brown both went to unaccredited high schools, Carter coming from Shipman. Illinois, and Vernon from Franklin, Kentucky. Kitty Kempner finished grade school in Urbana in four and a half years, and high school in four years. She also was too young to enter the University. Kitty has been prominent in high school because of her ability as a debater. Wilma Creek went to grade school in Urbana, finishing in seven years, and she took high school in three years. This year, being too young to go to the University of Il'inois, she took Post Graduate work and helped in the office. This is the first year there has ever been a class of Post Graduates, but it has really been quite successful in several ways. We hope that in future years the Post Graduates will follow our example, and dispel some of their lonesomeness and lack of class feeling by organizing. Wilma Creek, Historian.

Then a few unreal moments till someone presented David with the prize because of his “great ability to reach the heart of an ordinary person and so help him.” The shadowy picture was gone and another took its place. It was the day the boy David had become the man David, the man the world knew and loved as a great author. It was his wedding day. For a moment he was away from his crowds of gay friends, alone with his bride who was the girl of his high school days. . From his pocket he took a letter, a letter which was very curt and to the point, but it was from an editor saying his l ook was accepted his success assured! The 'happy look in the girl’s eyes when he read her the letter was something the author never forgot. The weary man by the stream awoke and looked about him. The sun was setting, sending a pink glow through the trees and the woods was filled with shadows. What was he doing there? Oh, yes—he was going to—give up. Then again the words which had come to him in his dream echoed about him—“if you have talent, God has given it to you for a purpose.” Was he a coward—beaten? Quickly he straightened his shoulders and started home, to the critics, the editors, new stories and to the girl! Alice Oathout, ’25 Q WINDS Today, The wind blows slightly.

Never before was a girl so thrilled over the prospect of every- thing which was being held in store for her. She had all the advan- tages of an only child in a moderately wealthy family in a small town, ______which is saying a great deal. She had always had attractive simple clothes which were attractive only as long as they weren’t on her. Marjorie de- cided after many interviews with her friend. Jerry that she, like Jerry, would go to school in strictly tailored clothes, high-necked shirt-waists, sailor hats, neck- ties and all the rest. As the weeks went by Marjorie’s wardrobe accumulated. She had digested the Fashion Notes for School-Girls” in the “Greenville Globe” and was con- vinced that tailored clothes and only tailored clothes were correct for her. One day about a week before the day of departure from Greenville, a small envelope came in the mail addressed to, “Miss Marjorie Lierson, 512 Hill Street, Greenville.” Mrs. Lierson carried the envelop up to Marjorie’s room and knocked on the door. A cheery ‘come in’ from Marjorie welcomed her and she opened the door. There, as usual, stood Marjorie in front of the long mirror arrayed in her serge suit, and straw sailor, high collar, low-heeled shoes. “I suppose, just about next June I’ll get used to wearing a suit and shirt- waist like this. You should see the way I hold up the skirt. I believe I use a whole cardful of safety pins. Mother—what’s that?” and she releived Mrs. Lier- son of the letter. Inside she found two small cards. One was engraved, and the other was covered with handwriting. This is what Marjorie read on the first: “Nu of Sigma Tau Rushing Dates: “House Party September 16, 17, 18, 19; Tea September 20; Dinner September 21; Tea September 21; Dinner September 22; Tea September 22: Dinner September 23; Dance September 24.” On the other card she read: “My dear Miss Lierson: I am sending you a list of fall rushing dates which we would like very much to have you accept. Please check the ones you can give us and return the card to me. I am looking forward to meeting you this fall. Hoping to hear from you soon, I am Yours sincerely, Margaret Miller.” “Oh, how lovely,” breathed Marjorie,” I never dreamed I’d be rushed. How did they get my name, mother?” “Mrs. Greene from Belleview was a Sigma Tau. She probably asked the girls to look you up and be nice to you this fall. This is just their way of doing it. It would be nice if you could be a Sigma Tau, wouldn’t it?” “No chance for me,” said Marjorie, but inwardly she felt she’d have a pretty good chance on account of her up-to-the-minute wardrobe, which she knew counted a lot. Marjorie checked all of the dates except the houseparty. Mrs. Lierson 8b) One Hundred Thirty IU23 «BE U.x (Elir Snsrmarif thought that if they had wanted her especially for that they would have emphasized it. She was greatly excited over leaving and built all sorts of air castles about the room in the Dormitory which she and Jerry were going to share. Mrs. Lierson tried to hide the tears in her eyes when Marjorie and Jerry got on the train, for it meant that her little girl, in strictly tailored clothes, was going away from home alone for the first time. Marjorie knew that if she went back to kiss her mother good-bye, she would surely cry. Marjorie had always wished that her hair were’nt so terribly sandy colored, so “awfully” blond, but she wished it more than ever when she and Grace walked into the main reception room of the Dormitory. The girls all looked at them. It wasn't localise they weren’t well dressed; they had disposed of all the dust and soot of the journey and yet they felt uncomfortable. In an effort to apj ear at ease Marjorie sat on a desk near the wall. No sooner had she started to swing her legs than Jerry pointed at her ankle. “Heavens, that hole! Let’s go before anyone sees it. quick!” The girls walked out of the room looking like two banished orphans in their ancestor’s clothes. “Say, Jerry is my necktie on right? What is the matter with me?” I never had anyone look at me the way those terrible girls did.” “(ice, this collar’s tight. I simply can’t make this skirt hang straight, and my cuff-links are always coming out.” The time for Marjorie’s first tea came. True to their promise, the Sigma Taus called for her at three-thirty. Margaret Miller watched carefully over Mar- jorie and Marjorie was glad, because Margaret’s was the only name she could remember. When she reached the sorority house, Marjorie suddenly felt as though she had been placed on ice. for all of the girls were in light fluffy summer dresses and she was “strictly tailored” in her street suit. Margaret, however, soon broke the ice when she and Marjorie had been served and were sitting in one corner. “My dear, I should think you'd simply roast in that suit. Haven’t your trunks come yet? Would you like to go up and slip on something of mine? I’d love to have you, if you’d like to.’” “No thanks, I’m really quite cool,” said Marjorie and a bead of perspiration rolled to the tip of her nose. “Come on,” said Margaret, and she lead the way upstairs. “I have just the thing for you, dear.” “Oh, that’s just darling. I love the color; are you sure you won’t mind if I do? That lace is awfully pretty.” So it came to pass that Marjorie slipped out of strictly tailored clothes into a blue ratine, with lace collar, cuffs and pockets. When they went down again, at least half a dozen girls came up to Mar- jorie and said. “I don’t believe I’ve met you.” Now that Marjorie felt comfortable, and looked comfortable, she could act “comfortable” and she did. A few weeks later, after Marjorie had almost entirely abandoned everything resembling tailored clothes, she wrote in her daily letter to her mother, this— “Mother, dearest— Thank you so much for hurrying and finishing my blue ratine. You know I adore hemstitching. The girls, my sisters to be. are simply marvelous, especially Margaret. I shall never forget what she did for me.

Such a handsome young chap—curling chestnut hair, big blue eyes, and a manly bearing not to be concealed by the fact that lie was confined to his hos- pital bed. Yes, it was all true—to be shot at sunrise was the impending fate of the brave Charles Garrison. And it was now after six o’clock, and the sun would rise at seven. Only one more hour of the calm, peaceful life lie had known in his brief span of twenty-two years. Yet, all unconscious of what awaited him, he glanced up at his nurse as she came toward him. Nurse Dane was skillful and efficient, but she was plain— almost painfully plain. This had bothered young Garrison a little, for he thought that tradition called for beauty in trained nurses. But his broken arm was still painful, and he forgot Nurse Dane’s shortcom- ings in his immense relief at her ministrations. “I’m ravenously hungry,” he informed her. “It seems ages to seven o’clock. Can’t I have an early bite of something?” “No,” said the nurse, who was thinking of something else. “And anyway. Nurse Rose will bring your breakfast this morning. I’m shifted to another case.” “And she won’t come ’til seven! Oh Lord !” A little before seven Nurse Rose came with the breakfast tray. And the sun was rising, and Garrison was to be shot at sunrise—shot through the heart at seven o’clock. The eager boyish face brightened as he caught the aroma of coffee, and then he saw Nurse Rose through the door. She was of the roseleaf type, exquisite, smiling, and a tiny bit shy. She raised her big violet eyes to his as she drew nearer. And just then the sun rose in its golden splendor, and Cupid, perching on the low footboard of the hospital bed, took careful aim, straight at Garrison’s heart, and the arrow sped true.

The dark shadows of the room seemed to melt before it. On a ray of light a butterfly, golden as the daffodils that were blooming in the garden, fluttered in. The young nun who, by one small movement of her hand, had caused this sudden transformation, laughed joyously and received her visitor on her outstretched hand. The butterfly remained on her palm for only an instant, then was gone. The young woman, like her surroundings, had seemed sombre and lifeless, but the sunlight now mirrored upon her the glow of the room. It put strange lights into her eyes and made a faint glow come into her cheeks. “The butterfly, like every other beautiful thing, could not exist in this place,” she thought as she watched the yellow form flit over the new green earth and out of sight. “Why, Sister Mercia,” sharply sounded a voice in the doorway. “How can you stand thus in the window and idle your time when there is linen to be mended and silver to be polished, to say nothing of the general cleaning? You know that Spring is here and our work must be done. Go immediately and assist Sister Celia in the linen closet.” Spring had truly come, and with it the joyous sunshine an asset to the con- vent in that it brought a longer day in which to work. Sister Mercia performed her dull task in the dull room, and without awaiting further instruction she returned to her own room which was flooded with spring. She sat beside the window and far away down the road she saw a boy with a girl in a pink dress walking side by side. They finally became indistinct in the distance. She was remembering another boy and another girl in pink who had often walked side by side. It was not difficult to remember for it had been only one spring ago. She remembered a spring night and a gay company of young people, in a house decorated with branches of budding red-wood. The pink buds had har- monized beautifully with her own pink flowered dress. The pink gowned girl was pretty and impishly gay. It was she who suggested a canoe party and was she who led the party in her own canoe, 'fhe night was ideal for such recre- ation. The waters were calm, the air cool and heavy with the odor of new grass and flowers. It was a very dark night. The various groups were singing and laughing and were calling to each other, 'flic lantern of the leading canoe was seen to disappear and the following barks, believing it to have taken a bend in the stream, sailed on. When the party finally disembarked, the tragedy was dis- covered. An overturned canoe was gliding over the stream. The search was on and a rescue party set out. In the morning the girl with the pink dress and two of her three companions were found alive. The boy at whose side she had often walked down the road, was found dead, hours later. Then there had been flowers and a funeral (she but faintly remembered them) and the blame had fallen upon her. Remorseful she had taken the vows of the sisterhood and, young as she was, resolved to pay the world for her recklessness. She gazed again out of the window and far down the road saw the boy and the girl in pink returning. She quietly made her way to the garden and was digging in the soft earth about the daffodils when the girl and the boy laden with budding red-wood branches passed her. Two clear voices were singing: a hr Sn ar mar if “Somewhere I know from the gold of the sun, God caught a ray of it shining so true; Held it all lovingly—then let it melt, Into the heart of you.” Arc flooding the earth ; The white-capped waves of the rising tide Are lapping the shore. We two are alone here above the world; You and I—alone In the radiant myst’ry of moonlight. 'I'lie bright beams clothe you In silver diaphanous splendor; A phantom shape you are, On the peak of that tow’ring cliff that Looks out over the sea. I, lower, watch and worship—and wonder. Is this your soul? This bright, elusive shape poised on the Peak in the moonlight? When the sunlight is eclipsed at noon, The day is darker than the darkest night; So when a man’s strong life sinks down too soon, Then dim seem all the hopes that were so bright. The sadness of his friends is heaviest, The burdens of his loved ones hard to bear, When life is stolen at its very best And that dear voice they nevermore can hear. Then of great Providence we humbly ask, Since we must dwell not on what is gone But hurry to the next appointed task, And with our fellowmcn must still strive on, Why one so promising as he must go— Why any human life be wasted so.

He paused on a little knoll and greeted with joy a slight breeze. When he was refreshed, the wanderer turned and gazed speculatively at a small shack a few rods away. He tapped at the door and waited with the gracious dignity which always distinguishes a wanderer from a vagrant. A girl, comely but worn, answered him. He put his plea with such good-nature that the girl altered her decision and told him to wait. “You might go around and talk to brother while you’re wait- ing,” she added. He obeyed. There on a knoll where the best breezes blew and the wannest sun shone, he found a youth reclining against a rock. The youth was thin but not repulsive. This thinness, his dark hair, and fair skin caused him to appear an untamed crea- ture of the desert like the hyena and the little owl. Friendship is born of a moment, not made. Thus it was with these two. 'fhe youth was drawn by the manly strength of the wanderer; the wanderer, by the spiritual fiber of the youth. When the time came for the wanderer to continue his journey, the youth put forth his slender, beautiful hand and bade the man to stay. The wanderer remained, for the power of the youth to command the love of others was impelling and unearthly. Well might it be unearthly. The sister told the wanderer that the youth had not long to live. None of the three gave signs of grief. They were happy to be existing together on the edge of the desert. Hut all felt grief for the coming event. One night the wanderer was awak- ened by the tremblings of the youth. The youth then spoke what he had left unsaid for days. “I can’t die, dear brother.lt seems too horrible.” “Death is not horrible, but pleasant,” said the wanderer, with no heart for the words lie uttered. “I believe that,” replied the youth. He sobbed a bit. “But I can’t die with- out having achieved something; without having left the world better for my being in it.” The wanderer reached for the slender hand with his strong, brown one. Clasping the youth’s fingers, he said tenderly and encouragingly, “Little brother, you shall not 'die, and you have accomplished something. You have given me your idea, and. Clod helping me, I’ll begin to carry it out tomorrow.” The youth was comforted, and slept. In the morning the wanderer, with great pain and resolve in his heart, left the little knoll. He achieved, and achieved righteously. Time passed and he felt a desire to see the youth. He was soon on the road to the shack on the knoll. But a grave awaited him there. The wanderer and the sister were met in mutual sorrow. Reverently and with due sense of fitness, they turned their backs on the grave and walked to the edge of the desert, where they stood seeing wonderful things. Harold Watts, ’23.

O, I remember the garden dim Where she walked of a moon-lit night, And the flowers at the water’s brim. Like patches of mellowed light. The wind that went whisp’ring through the trees, Swishing their branches o’erhead— The little birds, rocked in the arm of the breeze, Forgot their chirping, and went to bed. The shady nook, the leafy bow’r, By the side of the little stream, There often I’d sit, hour by hour, And drowsily drift, and dream. That little stream, with its pebbled bed, And water sparkling cold— Along its banks my foot-steps led On many a day of Old. All that is past, and gone, Are associations dear.

If he gets out of the yard we’ll never get him,” cried Alice Buckingham to her friend Helen Adams. Helen Adams, a sixteen-year-old New York girl, was visiting her friend and schoolmate at her Virginia home. The beautiful old mansion stood on the out- skirts of the sleepy old town, with no house near it except a half forgotten ruin, down the road some distance. In spite of the uneventful life at the Virginia home, both girls had been glad to leave the New York school. They were now playing with Alice’s little Scotch collie. The dog had just escaped from his mistress and, being of an inquiring turn of mind, he scampered out of the yard and down the road, with the girls in hot pursuit. On he ran—into the yard of the ruined house, and then—he jumped through one of the cellar windows. Both girls stopped aghast. “What shall we do?” cried Alice. “Why, go in and get him, of course,” said Helen. “But Helen, we can’t go in there!” “Why not?” “Why—why, we simply couldn’t. There is an awful legend connected with it, and, though I’m not at all superstitious, 1 wouldn't go in there for a fortune.” “What is the legend?” Well, I'll tell you. This is the old Beverley Mansion. Years ago, young Mr. Beverley and his wife lived here. My grandfather (he was just a boy then), knew them quite well. During the Reconstruction Days after the Civil War, when all those ignorant Negroes were turned loose, Mrs. Beverley and their little daughter were murdered and their bodies thrown into that cypress swamp. Mr. Beverley nearly went mad. He caught the ringleaders of the band who had committed the crime, and hanged them in the swamp. When this was found out, the Negroes broke into his house one night and killed him—in that front room up there. The servants declare to this day that every night at twelve o’clock a light burns in that front room. They won't even go near the house in broad day- light. The mansion now belongs to a northern man, but he never pays any at- tention to it, and it has fallen into decay.” “Well, what has that got to do with your dog? You surely aren’t afraid to go after him?” No. But I don’t relish the idea of prowling around in that old house, which has been empty for years,” said Alice, staring at the gloomy old house, and at the swamp beside it. Just then a scratching and whimpering came from one of the cellar windows. “You see, the poor thing can’t get out. The window is too high. You cer- tainly don’t intend to leave the jx or thing down there, and none of the Negroes would get him out of a haunted house, you know, so I guess it’s up to me,” said Helen contemptuously. “Oh I’ll go, of course,” said Alice slowly. “Then come on, we’ll try the cellar door.” With much pushing and kicking, the cellar door creaked open. Alice whistled and Helen called, but not a sound was heard. Summoning all her courage, Alice followed her more venturesome companion into the damp, cold cellar. No amount of searching and calling, however, would bring the lost dog. “Alice, do you realize that the door at the head of the cellar steps is open? One Hundred Thirty-eight ,l IU23 as She Snaemarif That dog has gone upstairs into the house. We’ll just have to go after him.” “I simply can’t get up courage enough to go up there,” wailed Alice. Well, you simply must, unless you want your jKJor dog to stay here all night.” Clinging close together, the two girls crept up the rickety stairs. Both were rather nervous by the time they had reached the top, and they stood in the long, draughty hall. Not a sound was heard, but the creaking of old boards. We shall have to go upstairs,” whispered Helen, grasping her friend by the arm and almost pushing her up. The awful stillness frightened them more than anything else could jxjssibly have done. “Here, I’ll go down this hall and you explore those front rooms,” said Helen in a whisper that seemed to repeat itself all over the house. No, no, I won’t go alone, and besides there is the room where Mr. Beverley was inur-------” What was that?” cried Helen, crouching low on the steps, and pulling the shaking Alice down beside her. The sound, more like a groan than anything to their distorted fancy, evidently came from the front room, the door of which stood ajar. It was not repeated, so the frightened girls arose warily, and pre- pared to descend the stairs, and leave the house as quickly as possible—dog or no dog, when all at once, a low throaty groan, followed by a dry, rattling sound came from the front room. Very much frightened by this time the girls lost all sense of direction and fled through the upper hall, only stopping at the end of the passage, where they found their way blocked by a door. Bushing this open blindly, they stepped over the sill. They never knew what happened next. Both girls found themselves in a heap at the bottom of what was evidently the backstairs. Too frightened to move they crouched there in each other’s arms. They suddenly were aware of soft footsteps behind them, and then—Alice jumped up with a scream. Oh it touched me!” she shrieked. Something cold and clammy!” Then upon hearing a low. wistful whine, the girls turned. There stood------ a dusty little puppy with a mouse in his mouth. Helen grabbed the dog in one hand and Alice with the other, and looking neither to right nor left hurried to the front of the house, down the cellar steps and into the open air. A few minutes later, standing safely in the road, both girls began to laugh hysterically. “That—that groan was only Towser and the rattling noise was probably the capture of that ]xx r little mouse,” laughed Helen. Yes, ‘only’ that,” agreed Alice, grimly leading a chastened puppy. Mary Coble, ’24. « 1U23 ® One Hundred Thirty nine She Suarmani yv. ' Hn ■ THE CLUE The warden stared in amazement at the tiny girl before him. His mouth opened, and he exclaimed in unbelief, “Mr. R______?” Oh! please,” begged the girl; “you see I—I am---his----sweetheart.” “Him?” the warden’s eyes bulged, “you don’t mean the—” his voice lowered, “the murderer?” Oh! don’t call him that! The cry was of mortal pain. “He’s all I have, and I shan’t have him long. Oh! please—I want to sec him—I want to see him— so—.” The voice trailed into sobs that shook her tiny frame, and as she wiped her eyes a diamond gleamed on her left hand. “Is—is that your engagement ring, miss?” questioned the warden, strongly moved to let his heart-broken woman see the criminal although she had no pass. (Surely if she were his fiance, there was no harm.) “Y—yes, he gave it to me the night—the night—before—.” Again her voice broke with sobs, this time more hysterical than before. The warden was silent. He was thinking. His orders were strict. He had never failed his trust before. But—his helpers had both been taken with some- thing very like ptomaine poisoning soon after noon, and had left. That meant that there was no one who would see and report that he led a grief-stricken woman to the cell of the man to be hanged the next day. If he did not permit the two to touch each other, there could be no danger, for a gun or file could not be j assed between them, and no message could be given in his hearing. He wavered—there was no harm—what if rules did forbid it? No one would know. The girl stopped crying, and with her hands tightly clasped in her lap waited. “If you won’t tell—yes,” at length the warden said. A look of triumph—almost gloating—crept over the girl’s face, even as she tried to thank the warden. “You must not touch him in any way—talk for only five minutes.” In silence they approached the cell. The murderer was sitting on his cot. He seemed composed—always had been ever since his sentence was pronounced, until now, the last evening of his life. At sight of the girl his face changed, he rose quickly, his blue eyes deej encd to black. The girl looked at him, that look of triumph again shone on her face—and—was it reflected on his? The warden started, but at the first words of the girl, heart-broken and hysterical, he turned to the farther side of the room and waited, and watched, while the lovers ex- changed vows of undying devotion, and eternal faith in each other, until, Time’s up,” bruskly called the warden. The girl paled, but steadying herself, she raised herself on tiptoe to kiss the murderer. Again the warden started, but as the lovers kept their hands clasped behind them, he did not interfere. Then, without a backword look, the girl left, and the warden followed. The murderer waited until the sound of their footsteps died away. Then he took a slip of silk, hastily transjxjsed from the girl’s mouth to his as their lips met, and spread it out. This was what it said: “Coast clear—ten—thirty—by the ventilation duct.” The murderer smiled, and replacing the silk in his mouth, swallowed the only clue to his escape. Margaret Moore, ’25. alif Snsrmanj THE SEVENTH RUFFLE Ailecn Meredith, a pretty debutante, stood surveying herself in a long pier mirror, turning to one side and then to the other. She was wearing her first grown-up dress. So dignified ! You may wonder what the occasion was. It was Aileen’s coming-out party. In Oakdale a coming-out party was an unusual event. Her dress was very becoming to her particular type of beauty. She had auburn hair, dark brown eyes, and a naturally lovely complexion. The dress was orchid, of an exquisite material, and imported from a neighboring city for the occasion. No one in Oakdale could boast such a lovely dress. It had ruffles on it—seven of them, and was said to be the gown of the season. Ailecn smiled as she looked at the bottom ruffle. She had had a terrible time persuading her mother to add that seventh ruffle. “No,” her mother had said, “you arc entirely too young for such a long dress, my dear.” “But, mother, it is my coming-out party. I’m not a little girl any longer. I’m grown up! Such a funny idea you have about not wanting me to ever grow up.” And Aileen’s pretty lips wrinkled into a pout. Finally her mother had consented, and there she stood, the result, in an at- tractive dress, smiling contentedly at the reflection of a very pretty girl dressed in a seven-tiered gown, which reached almost to her ankles. The last ruffle made the dress five whole inches longer. She imagined her- self walking gracefully down the steps to greet her guests. She thrust one dainty silver-slippered foot from beneath the ruffles to admire the effect. She was very much pleased with what she saw. Why did the time not pass more quickly? Ailecn thought the hour would never arrive. About eight o’clock in the big parlors of the Meredith house all the guests, mostly old family friends, were assembled. They were anxiously awaiting the entrance of pretty Ailecn. By most of these guests she was considered the village tomboy. They were eager to sec the gown which had aroused so much curiosity. Everyone had an idea that Aileen would look very pretty, but no one expected to see such a vision come floating down the broad stairs. She started down the stairs, just as she had practiced in her room, one hand laid carefully and daintily on the stair-railing, gracefully waving her fan. Down she came, one step, two steps, three steps, gracefully but a little un- certain on the extreme French heels. The effect was all she had hoped for. She paused long enough to let her guests recover from their astonishment, then started on. but stopped short as her heel caught in the seventh ruffle. She clutched frantically at the stair-railing, balancing herself perilously on one foot, while she struggled to disentangle the other heel from a ruffle which now dangled far below her ankles. A gasp of horror, a‘ few sympathetic “Oh’s,” then a suppressed titter arose from the guests when they saw the accident was not disastrous. Regaining her balance, she glanced from her dress to her interested guests. Then, clutching the offending skirt in both hands, she turned and fled upstairs. Mrs. Meredith, after asking her guests to entertain themselves and act as if nothing had happened, excused herself and went upstairs to comfort her daughter. « IU23 ® One Hnndred Forty one nves BK She Soaemarij Amused, but sympathetic, she entered the room to find Aileen huddled on her bed sobbing as if her heart would break, “Oh dear!

Stand up here and I’ll fix your dress in just a minute.” Then taking up a pair of scissors Mrs. Meredith proceeded to detach the seventh ruffle from the remaining six. “There, now that looks just as nice as before. I he guests haven't had time to count the ruffles yet so they won’t know hut that there are as many ruffles as there were before.” I guess you’re right, mother. Pride always goes before a fall. Hut I cer- tainly hate to part with that seventh ruffle, especially after I had to plead so hard for it.” So, arm in arm. they descended the steps, Mrs. Meredith talking to Aileen as though nothing had happened, and Aileen, a little embarrassed but trying to smile bravely.

Although few realize it, the stunt show, inter-class debates, our dual debate with Danville, the mid-year play and the All School Party arc sponsored by the Literary Society. Plays, of all kinds, some original, some not; some funny, some serious, yet all enjoyed by those who saw them, formed for the most part the first Literary programs of this year. Then came the inter-class debates. The senior team, Naomi Wyninger, Charles Webber, and Dick Woolhert met the juniors: Helen Waldo, Elizabeth Rlair, and Shirley Engle, in the first debate of the season. The question was, “Resolved: that the new constitution of Illinois be adopted as proposed.” The seniors, supported the affirmative, were victorious. Louise Still. Alice Oathout and Willard Monohan represented the sopho- mores, and Emma Jane Shepard, Bouland Brookes and Charles Harris, the freshmen in the second debate. The question was, “Resolved: that the manager form of city government be adopted by every city in the United States with a pop- ulation of over ten thousand.” The sophomores, who were victors, met the seniors in the final debate of the season, the question being, “Resolved: that the allies abandon claims on Ger- many for reparation.” As a result of this debate, the sophomores became inter- class champions. On December 21st. the ninth annual stunt show was held, 'flic senior stunt “Ain’t We Got Fun?” was thought by many to be the best. “The Hotel Dumb- bell,” was presented by the juniors, “A Modern Cinderella” by the sophomores and “A Historical Review” by the freshmen. “A Modern Cinderella” was de- clared the winning stunt. Early in the second semester the Urbana-Danville debate was held. Urbana’s negative team. Naomi Wyinger, Charles Webber, and Richard Woolhert, with Louise Still as alternate went to Danville, while Anna Sporledcr, Philip Hundley, and Kenneth Nieman. with Joe Blair as alternate supported Urbana at home. Although both teams were unsuccessful it is certain that we have gained some- thing by our debates. “Daddy-Long-Legs,” by Jean Webster, was given March io under the aus- pices of the Literary Society. Owing to the great number of other absorbing school interests, the Literary Society has not been reorganized the seceond semester, but the annual events of the season arc still under its supervision.

Mrs. Killefer, Miss Cade, and Mr. Anderson, the faculty in the Commercial De- partment, realizing the need of better co-operation among the commercial stu- dents, started the movement. The aims of the organization arc to develop among the students a deeper business interest and a better understanding of business methods; to bring them into contact with business men; and to introduce up-to-date machines and office appliances. The officers elected were: President - Luella Simpson Vice-President - Mary Douglass Secretary and Treasurer - - Pauline Walker Social Chairmen - Lillian Marr and Edward Jackson Echo Reporter - Lillian Jessee Every student registered in commercial work automatically becomes a mem- ber of this club. The governing body is a “Board of Control.” This board is made up of the officers of the club, the committees, and the faculty of the Com- mercial Department. A few of the club’s accomplishments are listed below: A scries of bank talks by Mr. Paul Buscy of the American Bankers’ Association; Typewriting Demonstration by a Remington Sjjeed Expert; Demonstration of Burroughs Bookkeeping and Adding Machines; Demonstration in Gregg Shorthand by Miss Hart of Gregg School, Chicago; A number of helpful and entertaining talks by business men of the Twin Cities; 'Hie 'Picket Sale for Miss Maud Alverson Appreciation Benefit; The Ticket Sale ?or Parent-Teachers' Banquet. The Corresi ondence Committee with the help of the Chamber of Commerce of Urbana has organized an efficient Employment Department whereby the stu- dent may file his application for part time or summer work. This committee has sent out letters to business men of Urbana offering the services of the Com- mercial students in order to gain practical experience in office work. b iu23 ® One Hundred Fifty-one JTlir SUisrmani THE S.

Two years ago. interest in the club began to lag. The boys had come to look upon the Hi-Y as a religious organization. Last year Ramon Maguire started interest in a new club. The boys organized a society known as the Key- stone Klub. The constitution of this new club was really the same as that of the Ili-Y but the interest in it was much greater. This year the movement has been carried on with the following boys as officers: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sergeant-at-arms William Trclcasc Ralph Douthit Kenneth Douglass Floyde Sj)erry Adrian Stockwill The first thing attempted was a membership drive, and the result was a membership of sixty-four. Of these sixty-four, twenty-two were appointed on committees. The meetings were well attended, and we had many interesting talks by men of the town and the University. One of the most interesting meetinge was the one at which Mr. Provine, of the University, told us of his experiences as a civil engineer in the West. Later on. we gave a banquet to the teams of both Champaign and Urbana High Schools. This was held in the new Congregational Church in Champaign and was given in conjunction with the Hi-Y Club of Champaign High School. Talks were given by Dean Clark, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Wuestcman. Several very interesting meetings were held at the high school under the direction of Lloyde Huntington of the Boys’ Work Department of the University Y. M. C. A. Subjects discussed were those that were most important to the high school boy. Later on in the year, the ladies of the Presbyterian Church gave us three very fine suppers, at which we had such speakers as Dr. Roberts, Dean Clark, Lloyde Huntington and members of our own organization. We were well represented at the Older Boys’ Conference, as we did most of the planning for it ourselves. Here we had speakers from all over the country who are experienced in boys’ work. At this time we are planning a picnic and a ball game to finish up the year in good shape. Kenneth Douglass '23.

This institution is the Agricul- ture ( lub. Its membership is composed of boys who are now enrolled or were at one time enrolled in an agricultural course. The first meeting of the farmer-students was held in October. From the twenty boys who were present the following officers were selected: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sergeant Ted Cudgel Vem Zech Loren Sullivan Karl Biand Harold Gordon Under the leadership of Mr. Willey, head of the Agriculture Department, the club has kept alive a great interest in this course and its activities. A basketball team was organized with Thomas Wilson as captain. The team was composed of the following boys: Forwards: Wilson (Capt.), Marriott and Kept; centers: Brand and Adams; guards: Gordon and Waite. It is hoped that next year's classes will carry on the movement started by these students and that the Ag Club will prosper and grow strong just as other student organizations have done.

All those who had appeared in the mid-year plays of ’22 and ’23 were eligible for charter membership. Under this stipulation a group of twenty-two were eligible. Nacomi Wyninger, Helen Maguire, Vernalee Burpo, Patty Brennan, Vonna Marr, Dolores Burnett, Leota Miller, Blanche Sams, Louise Bresee, Dorothy Bur- rows, Dorothy Gray, Esther Bruhn, Marjorie Ludlow, Marian Baker, Harold Watts, Philip Hundley, Milton Bailey. Edward Jackson, Derrill Place, Kenneth Nicman, Laurence Binyon, and Theodore Gudgel are the charter members. Since Miss Florence Johnson, the instructor in Public Speaking, has inspired and guided the forming of the club, it was fell very fitting that the club should be known as “Bobett,” affectionate diminutive of Miss Johnson’s nickname, “Bobby.” The constitution was drawn up by a committee of which the chairman was Louise Bresee. The other members were Naomi Wyinger, Blanche Sams, and Theodore Gudgel. Their work was amended and adopted by the society. Officers of “Bobett” are to be elected in the April of each year, the new offi- cers thus getting in trim for the following year. The officers elected for the year ’24 are: Helen Maguire, President; Leota Miller, Vice-President; Marian Baker. Secretary, and Philip Hundley, Treasurer. At the same time the legislative board was chosen. The members of this board arc Patty Brennan, Vonna Marr, and Laurence Binyon. ffllt is the earnest desire of “Bobett” to raise Urbana High School to a posi- tion in dramatic reputation equal to its position in athletics and it is honestly be- lieved that the new organization will be able to accomplish its purpose.

The members of this organization decided to call themselves the “Magpies.” Naomi Wyninger was elected president. At the second meeting it was decided that anyone in school who had taken part in a class or varsity debate would Ik eligible. Later anyone who took part in the Charleston Contest was admitted to the society. The “Magpies” have a three-fold purpose: first, to develop interest in debat- ing; second, to study current question; and third to develop debating ability. The society has twenty-five members. At the regular meetings these mem- bers take part in practice debates and make reports on interesting subjects. A few open meetings are held during the year to which anyone who is interested in debate may come. Although the “Magpies” are newly organized, they have many plans for the future. They hope to encourage more and better debates. Urbana High School has a great deal of debating ability which this society hoj es to develop in both class and varsity debates. If enough interest is created they hope to arrange for more dual debates with other schools.

During the first part of the evening Mr. Hays read a very interesting paper in which he discussed the value of a Phi Beta Kappa for the high school. Such a society was suggested for Urbana High School, but nothing definite was acted upon. Mr. Flaningam was toastmaster. He called upon the following people: Mr. Shawhan. Mr. Harris, Mr. Watts, Mr. Burrows, Mr. Freeman, Mary Flom, Irene Zack, Dorothy Kern, and Arthur Lloyd. This banquet was the first of its kind. We owe much gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Hays for their efYorts in furthering scholastic interest in the high school. It is hoped that this custom will be repeated in succeeding years and that each banquet will be marked by the success and enthusiasm of the first. Ma?.v Flom, ’23.

C. of giving annually a banquet in honor of the mothers. These banquets have un- doubtedly been amazing successes. Their primary purposes is to bring a closed, more intimate relationship between mother and daughter; to urge sincerity, frank- ness, honesty, and sportsmanship on the part of both. This year the banquet was given April 17, in the High School dining room. About no attended. The committee was appointed by Mildred Whitaker, social chairman of the club, as follows: Dorothy Burrows, Martha Oliver, Helen Wal- do. The tables were artistically decorated by candles with hand-painted shades of blue and yellow placed alternately, and gay confetti of many colors strewn down the center. Place cards of unusual design made attractive favors. The dinner was catered by Mrs. Jackson. Between courses, songs, led by Esther Bruhn, were sung. When the last course was removed candles were lit, and the dim light yielded an informal at- mosphere. A talk by the toastmistress, Mary Elom, opened the program. In it the object of the banquet was discussed, the guests were welcomed, and the daughters chal- lenged. Then the first speaker, Vonna Marr, was introduced. She gave a very clever and individual toast. The juniors were represented by Helen Maguire, whose toast, entitled “Mother and I,” put forth a characteristic view point of how to be “just pal. Janet Woolbert, the sophomore toaster, presented a skillful piece of adroitness and ingenuity. The senior toast, in the form of an original poem to ()ur Mothers, was delivered by Ann Clinkenbeard. Then, in response, Mrs. Oathout toasted the daughters. Her charming personality and exquisite sentiment hel})ed to create a spirit of understanding and sympathy in the heart of every guest. The last toast, “Any Mother’s Daughter” was given by Miss Rick- etts, the one who takes the part of everybody’s mother here at school. With her usual originality. Miss Ricketts presented a poem in which she expressed her solution of the problem. A reading, witty and clever, was given by Miss Johnson, who was encored. The last number on the program was a solo, entitled “Moth- er. by Esther Bruhn. A farewell by the toastmistress ended the banquet. Pep and jollity proclaimed the evening a success.

Because everyone did not know everyone else, a slip of paper with her name was pinned to each sister’s dress. Dancing in the gym to music furnished by Ruth Langhoff was the entertainment offered, and cider and doughnuts were served as refreshments. 'I lien, not long after, the Little Sisters evened accounts by entertaining their Big Sisters. The first part of the party was in the cafeteria, where sandwiches and chocolate were enjoyed. A short program followed, and then everyone went to the gym. Two or three extemporaneous dances, speeches, and readings created an informal atmosphere of fun. Dancing finished the good time in fine fashion. In late April a tag dance was given after school in the gym. Peppy music was furnished by Roy Graves at the piano and Floyde Sperry with a saxophone. Some one added a kazoo” to the orchestra and then the music left nothing to he desired. Although there were no decorations, the party was exceptionally successful. Every one enjoyed himself. The Keystone Klub has been progressing very rapidly this year. They have had the school spirit behind them, and they have come through with some real improvement. The organization has given a few dances this year, among them the post-exam dance, which was given January 26, in the High School gymnasium. It was the second annual dance given by the hoy’s organization, and it was a de- cided success. It was well attended and the crowd was full of pep. The gym- nasium was not decorated, hut this did not hinder the merriment of the party. The music, which was furnished by the High School orchestra, was jazzy and also lent pep to the party. As for the eats, all through the evening delicious punch was available. Milton Bailey and William Trclease were the committee in charge of the party. Judging from the standpoint of the on-lookers and the students who attend- ed, this was one of the best parties given during the year, and the students arc looking forward to future dances to be given by the Keystone Klub.

Nevertheless, Urbana High cele- brated its first Homecoming this year. To come back to that dear old school with its large cheerful halls and a once familiar auditorium was a great thing to many an I rbana High School graduate. What memories it recalled—what good times! The Homecoming was planned to be held immediately after the I rbana-Springticld football game—and so it was. It might have been a general get-together and social meeting of all the graduates in the gym, but, due to the fact that everybody knew everybody else, and since there were not quite as many there as we hojx d for. it was made into a business-like meeting and the election of officers took place. About one hundred graduates, young and old, married and single, met in the high school auditorium on October 28. Mr. Otis Green gave an interesting talk and some good advice for future Homecomings. Following this, officers were elected for the coining year. They are the old favorites of Urbana High, namely: John Hill. President; Janette Busey, Vice-President; and Ruby Claypool, Sec- retary. After this, an annual Alumni Dance was planned to be given the following month and committees were appointed. Ideas for the future Alumni meetings were suggested and discussed and the Homecoming voted to be an annual affair, bigger and better every year. This parody was sung: Hail to the Orange.

A group of one hundred people, including members and guests, was served a palatable three- course dinner. I he dining room was attractively decorated with candles, apple- blossoms and spring flowers. A three-piece orchestra played during the meal. After the dinner. NeP McDonough entertained with two vocal selections, Luella Simpson, president of the Commercial Club, acting as toastmistress, intro- duced Mr. Paul Busey. who gave a short speech in which he thanked the society for its cooperation during the year. Mr. Chester Milton Sanford was the speaker of the evening. The topic of his talk was “The I ragedy of the Misfit . Mr. Sanford stressed the fact that it is a tragedy for a boy or girl to be misled into a vocation for which he is altogether unfitted. He said that there were four means by which an individual could be aided in choosing a profession: first, by observation of his physical characteristics; second, by investigation of his environmental circumstances; third, by noting the dominant talent; and fourth, by psychological tests. The audience was held spell-hound during the whole of this impelling talk. I he honored guests of the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Flanningam, Mr. and Mrs. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. C. M.

As food always seems to be an aid to sociability, we had dinner at six o’clock in the Home Economics dining room. Just thirty people attended, twenty-five of whom were members of the class (one-quarter of our original number). It seemed quite like old times to have Mr. and Mrs. Flaningam and Miss Mary Bruner Tehon with us. We lingered over our coffee, reminiscing and hearing messages from absent members. A letter and original poem from Mr. Carrier, our commercial teacher, were read. Letters were also read from five classmates. In these reunions roll- call is always the most interesting part. There was scarcely a one of our original band from whom there was no message. Just as statistics are always a part of commencement, so no reunion is com- plete without a few statistics. Many occupations are represented in our class, among which are home makers, an authoress, a landscape gardener, a mechanical engineer, eight teachers, two lawyers, four farmers and several secretaries. Ac- cording to the last count out class can boast of a dozen children. Our directory, which is kept by our class secretary, Margaret Needham, shows that we have scattered to the four corners of the United States, from Minnesota to Florida; from Gotham to the Golden Gate. We have a representative in Cornwall Coun- ty, England and also one in Panama. Plans were made for the next reunion which is to be held December 25, 1925. Hulda Adler Harmison was made chairman of this affair. After our short bus- iness meeting we wandered up to the assembly room and sang a few of our old songs. With this our happy evening ended and we bid adieu to each other and U. II. S. for three more years. Helen Watts, ’15 ■}=r. THE S. K VALENTINE PARTY What could be more suggestive than a Valentine party—and what more appropriate than a gym invitingly decorated in large hearts and twisted streamers cf red and white? Music by Graves is always delightful, and red hearts with gold arrows and tiny cords afford neat programs. The party is completed by an abundant supply of cool, refreshing punch. The general committee in charge of this annual included the following: Esther Bruhn. decorations; Helen Boyle, refreshments, and Marv Flom, pro grams. A feature dance was given by Marian Baker. The chaj crons were Mr. Dvorak. Miss Johnson, and Mr. and Mrs. Sanford, and all the teachers were in- vited as guests. Any members of the school were admitted, and also, as a special dispension, outsiders as guests. This was the first party given in the High School Gym at which outsiders were present, and the trial was very successful. About sixty couples attended. It is only natural to assume that a dance given under the auspices of the S. K. club should be brim full of fun and i ep and mirth. And this dance was no exception; it was a pleasing and encouraging example of what the club will ac- complish in the future. It was, in itself, piquant with the air of triumphant suc- cess.

The turn-out for the girl’s basketball picnic proved the girls themselves to be very enthusiastic. The invitation was extended to all the girls who signed up for basketball the first of the year and to all other girls who were interested. About seventy-five or eighty girls signed up to go. Miss Monohon managed the affair, while the girls provided the food. We went to Crystal Lake May tenth, after school, staying until six o’clock. We played games and then ate. In gym we just get interested in a game of baseball and then the bell rings, but this time we played until we were really played out. Plans for an Athletic Association were talked over. Everyone was very enthusiastic, because we have felt the need of one for a long time. It was decided that membership should Ik acquired through points gained by taking part in activities. This association is to conduct tourna- ments. meets, and to present letters and medals. The officers elected for the year 1923-24 are: Mary Douglass, President; Davena MacKay, Vice-President; Mable Cole. Secretary, and Leota Miller, Treasurer.

This was the third annual midyear play and was pre- sented under the auspices of the Literary Society. The play was coached by Miss Johnson and to her is due the credit for the subtle play of emotion in the production. As a whole the production challenged comparison and maintained Urbana High’s position of being the first in dramatics. The story deals with the life of an orphan, Judy Abbot, who after eighteen years in an asylum, is sent to a girls’ school by a trustee whom she is to know as John Smith. She has seen his shadow and thinking it resembles a “Daddy Long Legs ’ takes that as a pet name for him. Near the close of her first year of school she meets Jervis Pendleton, the rich uncle of her room-mate, Julia. Three years later while Judy is visiting Pen- dleton’s old nurse, he comes for a visit and tells Judy of his love for her. When she refuses to marry him he leaves, thinking she loves her friend, Sally McBride’s brother, Jimmy. Her real reason for not marrying him is that she is a nameless orphan and he a member of a proud and wealthy family. At last Judy goes to Daddy Long I«egs for advice and discovers that he is Jervis Pendleton. As he already knows she is an orphan and declares it makes no difference, she promises to marry him. It is a pleasant coincidence to note that in all the midyear plays Vernalce Burpo has had one of the leading feminine roles. In this play, well did she prove that she deserved the position of lead. There has never been a perform- ance on the Urbana High School stage to equal hers in emotional intensity and appeal. There probably never will be. Can one ever forget the poignancy of 1923 a� � One Hundred Seventy-eight (Elic Stoaemanj the scene where Vernalee as Judy, the orphan, sinks to the floor, her little air castle tumbling around her? It is impossible to dilate extensively on the performance. However, it would he unfair not to point out with a few well chosen words, the other performances which were of unusual merit. Marjorie Ludlow, as the old nurse. Mrs. Semple, gave an interpretation that ranks the highest of the other women in the cast, with the exception, of course, of “Judy.” Marjorie’s performance was accurate, charming and quaint. And her merit was only more acceptable since the acting came from one, hitherto un- suspected of talent. Dorothy Gray and Dorothy Burrows, cast as Judy’s friends Sallie and Julia, were very spontaneous and winsome. Dorothy Burrows portrayed especially well the happy-go-lucky daughter of a wealthy family. Louise Brcsee, although slightly miscast, since emotional intensity is her forte, acquitted herself gra- ciously, of a rather conventional role, that of Miss Pritchard. Blanche Sams, as the two-faced matron, Mrs. Lippett, was very effective and entertaining but her interpretation was not as clearly outlined as it might have been. Dolores Burnett, Patty Brennan, Leota Miller and Vonna Marr gave peculiarly wistful interpretations to the roles of the orphans. Esther Bruhn made the most of the colorless Mrs. Pendleton. As for the male portion of the cast. Philip Hundley as Jervis Pentdleton, and Derrill Place as Jimmie McBride, tie for honors. Philip gave dignified and at times a very studied reading of his part, and Derrill was perfect in his deline- ation of youthful egotism and foibles. However, Harold Watts, Edward Jack- son, Kenneth Nieman and Theodore Gudgel appeared in parts too inadequate to test their abilities. The same applies to Helen Maguire and Marian Baker who appeared briefly as maids. Mary Flom and her assistants deserve much credit for managing the difficult property expeditiously.

The gym was decorated with paper flowers, and there was a lattice covered with them over the entrance. The demonstration was in charge of Miss Irma Monohon, gym instructor, and included about one hundred seventy- five girls. 'Phc evening started with “March Tactics” and a “Swedish Drill,” given by the first hour gym class. Don’t you remember how nice those girls looked and how well they kept together? After that Beatrice Sloan, the charming Irish lassie, gave a true “Irish Jig”—but the Irish seem to be bashful, for she wouldn’t do it a second time. Next the fifth hour class gave two folk dances— If All The World Were Paper.” and “Butterfly,” in which they showed fine cooperation. Following this six small freshman girls came out in breezy Nature costumes and gave “A Study For Six.” The third and fourth hour class followed, dressed in attractive costumes of brown and red, and gave “The Villagers,” a country dance. The next number, “Oxdansen,” (The Mock Fight), given by Olive Dunn and Martha Oliver, was the hit of the evening. They were dressed in Jackie Coogan costumes, and my, how they did fight! Next came four little old- 9m 1U23 One Hundred Seventy-nine ta She fioBtmanj fashioned girls in ruffled dresses and pantaloons, followed by four little boys in Eton suits. These eight gave a dance, “Won’t You Be My Valentine?”, where hearts were all a-flutter. 1 umbling always takes well and the whole audience held its breath as those girls turned somersaults, stood on their heads, turned hand-springs, and did all kinds of stunts. Yet all came up smiling. 'I he “Golliwog’s Dance” showed us that we have at least two wonderful scarecrows at High School, namely—Margaret Schumacher and Dorothy Schieb. “Newcastle,” a folk dance, followed, after which the last number was given. Margaret Tcrwilleger and Edrie Seward came out in bright costumes; in truth they made a stunning couple. They gave a “Gypsy Dance.” The pianists for the evening were Marjorie Wilson and Patty Brennan. The total proceeds were $84.00, which will be spent on gymnasium equipment for the girls. Helen Oldfather, ’23 cso THE CARNIVAL April 20! The Carnival has conic and gone, but not without leaving a trace on the history of the school. In fact, it looks like one of the biggest things that has happened in the year beginning nineteen hundred twenty-two. And well it should, for it groomed us for the work we would lie forced to do the remainder of the year, and if the office records do not lie. it groomed us well. Why should it not be reckoned important? I hat night the whole school reverted to childhood’s happy days and disported itself in youthful abandon. Even the visitors jierforcc were merry and flocked in crowds very pleasing to an Echo editor’s heart. The Third Annual Carnival was a financial success. But it was also an artistic success. Never were the stunts so spectacular and well performed. Each, in its own way, was the best work. The Carnival is a good training quarter for those who wish to appear in the big plays, fudging from the crop of talent discovered this year, the coaches will not want for dramatic ability in years to conic. The general student-faculty committee v. .3 composed of the following people: Harold Holmes, Mildred Whitaker. Elmer lioggatt, Rolland Hall, Luella Simp- son, Mrs. Sanford, Miss Ricketts, Miss Still, Miss McClurg and Mr. Dvorak. The stunts presented by the various classes were: Spark Plug..........................................Miss Still King Tut - - - - - Miss Doyle, Miss Lalunan April Showers ----- Miss Hatfield.

Harold Watts, ’23. One Hundred Eighty wa 1323 ©• t zaae She itoarmanj 5� GAMMER GURTON’S NEEDLE Gammer Ciurton has lost her needle! The only family needle! And all the family, more or less in the way, is helping her find it. This, to outward appear- ances only; in reality, their chief concern is to escape the distracted ravings of Gammer. Complicated mysteries abound, keeping the audience in raptured interest or in uproarious laughter. Helpful Hodge, with his indifferently concerned man- ner, is bewailing the calamity, when Diccon comes along. Crafty and cunning, he must have his pranks, so, as a perfectly competent “sleight-of-hand,” he sum- mons the devil. Playing upon the imagination of Hodge’s rather weak mind, he conjures up all sorts of weird, inane beings from the underworld. Hodge, in frigid horror, runs screaming into the house. The wails of the women, heard from within, become agonized cries. Diccon then notifies Dame Chatte, the next door neighbor, that Gammer is accusing her of stealing her favorite rooster. On the same mischievous ungodly spirit, lie whispers to Gammer Gurton that Dame Chatte has her needle—in fact, he saw her pick it up in front of her doorway. When the two women meet, there is staged a Dempsey-Willard bout in all its glory of female mockery. The complexity is merely amusing to Diccon. To intensify matters, he slyly informs the Dame that Gammer is sending a spy to catch her with the chicken. Then he drags Doctor Rat, the curate, into the quarrel by telling him that if he creeps into Dame Chatte’s cottage by a hidden way, he will find her using the stolen needle. Dame Chatte awaits in the darkness and, mistaking the high-minded minister for Hodge, spares him not. The situation is confused, the suspense aggravating. Suddenly, unexpect- edly and painfully, 1 lodge extracts the needle from his leather breeches. T his is the age-old play which the Coffer-Miller Players so successfully pre- sented on our platform February 2. As the first comedy in English literature, it is a storehouse of humor and pathos. Uninteresting and coarse as a piece of literature, the players have developed its possibilities to the utmost and repro- duced a splendid amateur bit of realism, amusing and perplex. The quaint style and humorous spirit of the play are most suggestive in the description of stupid 1 lodge attempting to start a fire from the cat’s eyes and in the fragment of the old drinking song. After seeing the comedy, we can understand and appreciate more fully the sort of original production, its development, and bearing upon the society of the day. But to us less-appreciative seniors, the most lasting impressions are the pet expressions that we have discovered, lying modestly secluded in the verses. Gammer Gurton’s “Ha, Ha!” has become a password all down the halls and we have also initiated into our vocabulary Diccon’s “Fie on you!” 1U23 ammm One Hundred Highly one —■waaga-s� 1 1 m ' SItr Snsrmanj H. M. S. PIN A FOR Ii Still another achievement of the Urbana High School chorus! On the eve- ning of May the fourth, the chorus with the splendid aid of the orchestra gave the world-famous light opera, ‘ 11. M. S. Pinafore,” written by Gilbert and Sulli- van. The work in itself was very tuneful and laughable, and was easily the most pleasing musical play, given by amateurs, that the vicinity has seen for several years. As a whole, the presentation was well-rounded out. This in itself is notable, since the chorus worked on the score only three weeks, and since some of the principals had even less time. The big hit was, as it should be, the lively and well- trained chorus. The good spirit with which the organization entered into the en- terprize was what made the production irristible. The chorus, as usual, gave a fine example of how ensemble music can be sung. . What has been said of the chorus applies very well to the attitude of the prin- cipals. All were at their best, vocally and dramatically. The whimsical humor of Gilbert and the tunefulness of Sullivan were well brought out by the various mem- bers. It is only fair to note some of the qualities in individual performances. Nell McDonough, as the lead, Josephine, displayed a voice of great power and promise; her blonde beauty was capable of holding up the dramatic end of her delineation. Harold Watts, playing Ralph to Nell’s Josephine, was an ingratiating hero, displaying a pleasing tenor. Not inferior to Ralph’s part in importance was that of Captain Corcoran, which was played very dashingly by Milton Bailey. Stewart Wright as Dick Deadeye supplied the humor of the piece. The depic- tion was well-night perfect, and drew, as it should, a good portion of the laugh- ll One Hundred Eighty two imranii ■« 1923 She Snscmanj ter. Edward Jackson proved again his power as a heavy comedian with the char- acter of Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B. Clara Doyle amused inordinately as the delectable Buttercup, and made her songs remembered. Esther Brunn’s Cousin Hebe was an excellent foil for Ed- ward Jackson’s acting. There are few who can appear more pleasing and act bet- ter than Esther Bruhn. Glen Hurd was very much in evidence in the proceedings as the stalwart boatswain, and Harold Hurd scarcely less so in the part of the boatswain's mate. Howard Trees and Zach Martin appeared briefly as mariners. It is difficult to express in a small space how much is due to Mr. Dvorak. To him the entire success of the thing is due and but for his unfailing enthusiasm, the success would have been a failure. Harold Watts, ’23 STUNT SHOW The Ninth Annual Stunt Show was given Thursday, December 21, 1922, under the auspices of the Literary and Debating Society. The judges were Mrs. A. F. Fay, Mrs. F. O. Sale, Mrs. B. A. Strauch, Rev. J. J. Wilson, Mr. A. R. Knight. The judges were asked to base their decisions upon originality, pro- duction, entertainment values and amusing qualities. In the final decision the Sophomores won three votes and the Seniors two. The Senior stunt was vaudeville of the first class variety, entitled “Ain’t We Got Fun?” The first act was a frolicsome squad of black-face comedians who mingled jokes, music and a crap game in a very entertaining fashion. Second in ap] earance was the Senior band—a great surprise—for very few people knew that the Seniors had a band and fewer still realized that it was such a good one. 1023 vmmm IMO One Hundred Eighty-three 3S altr Snsrmani 1 anr tuwmarg Jack Vorhees presented a group of violin songs which met with great approval. The last number was the Valentino chorus—ten girls in Rodolph costumes who sang sweet music to the tune of banjo-ukes. A finale by the whole group closed the stunt. The Junior stunt, “A Hotel Dumbbell,” was next in order. This was a sc- ries of amusing events in a hotel. The rather abrupt ending—the hotel’s catch- ing on fire—was unexpected by everyone. The Sophomores won the judges’ decision with “A Modern Cinderella.” This was the story of a girl who wished very much to go to the football game. I ler two sisters went and she was left alone until her fairy godmother appeared and dressed her in a charming gown and provided a make-believe man for her. She went to the game and stayed too long; so she lost her fine clothing and her escort—as well as her heart. All ended happily, however, when the football captain to whom she had lost her heart fell in love with her. The Freshmen took the audience through a series of events in A Historical Review.” They showed the discovery of America, the landing of the Pilgrims, Boston Tea Party, and certain other important incidents in our history. Katherine Strabel, ’23. QD COME OUT OF THE KITCHEN Come Out of the Kitchen, the play from the book of Alice Duer Miller, was given January 12 and 13 by the faculty, in appreciation of Miss Maude Alver- son. Every character in the play interpreted his part in the very best style and it is doubtful if professionals could have presented a more entertaining production. Miss Johnson took the part of Olivia Dangerfield, a Southern belle and later Jane Ellen, the Irish cook. Mrs. Sanford was Elizabeth, the older and rather hasty tempered sister. Mr. Casserly was Paul Dangerfield who later jxmrayed the English butler to perfection. The part of the kid brother, Charles, was taken by Mr. Dvorak whose riotous spirit was even more effective when he played the bootblack. Mr. Clary appeared as Burton Crane, a young Northerner. His ability to por- tray the lover seemed quite well developed. The parts of Miss Ricketts and Miss Rising were very well played. As Mrs. Faulkner and her daughter, Cora, these two ladies scolded and laughed irrespectively in a seemingly unaffected man- ner. Mr. Willey was Randy Weeks, Oliva's hometown hero, a right honorable fellow. Mr. Anderson as Thomas LefTerts was the lover of Cora Faulkner and surely no one could better have taken the part of the poet—poor but proud. The comedy parts, other than that of Charlie Dangerfield, were taken by Miss Hatfield and Mr. Click. The old southern mammy might have been really import- ed from Kentucky, so well was her part taken. Mr. Click was Solon Tucker, Crane’s attorney, who was also in iove with Olivia. Every bit of the play was an absolute success, even to the mechanical details. What better could be said of any production? As for the story: Papa and Mamma Dangerfield went to Euroi e for Papa’s health. They left their four young offspring at home—the offspring being Olivia. Elizabeth, Paul and Charles, and soon after they left the children were given an opportunity to rent the old home to a wealthy young Northerner with a craving for Southern atmosphere. One Hundred Eighty-four : £ 1923 BIN 111 I weasas-'j rwirr After long and furious debate the young Dangerfields agreed with little sis- ter Olivia that the best way to help Papa’s pocket-book was to lease the house. Shortly before the arrival of the Northerner, Burton Crane, word was re- ceived that the stall' of four white servants who were to have come, had decided not to appear. Since Burton Crane had absolutely insisted upon white servants there was nothing for the Dangerfields to do but to banish their faithful darkies, including the loquacious mammy, andd appear as cook, maid, butler and chore boy, respectively. When Burton, Crane arrived with his attorney, his matronly friend and her daughter, Cora Faulkner, complications were indeed in order. Mrs. Faulkner had a sort of a wealthy son-in-law complex which was not to be easily eliminated. Cora, however, did not love her mother’s choice who was Burton, himself. She was quite excited over Thomas Lefiferts, a j oet with more hopes than money. And Burton had not been in the house more than ten minutes until he was in- fatuated with the Irish cook, Jane Ellen, alias Olivia. Poor ane Ellen had her share of troubles. It was she who cheered her sister and brothers and kept them quiet—when they were quiet; it was she who cooked the delicious meals for the guests; it was she who repeatedly sent mammy back to hiding and it was she who even made Solon Tucker fall foolishly in love with her. 1U23 a - — One Hundred Eighty-five JTltp Soaemarg l ut truth and murder and secrets will out and this secret was no exception. Elizabeth and Charlie rebelled at their tasks of playing domestics and soon Bur- ton Crane and Solon Tucker became such “kitchen-door Johnnies” that they almost reverted to the days of daggers and duels. And Burton, being the younger and more handsome of the two seemed to win the lady’s hand in a surprisingly short time—somehow the young and handsome ones always do. _y One Hundred Eighty-six « 1923 a THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB One of the most important features of the Urbana High School is the depart- ment of music. The two principal branches of this department are the chorus and the orchestra. Another that is beginning to take an important part is the Boys’ (ilec Club. The Glee Club is a new organization in the Urbana High School, and was formed at the beginning of the second semester, 'fry-outs were held and well attended. Those finally chosen to sing in this organization were the following: First Tenors: Kenneth Douglass Milton Bailey Harold Watts Marion Leming Williard Monohon Second Tenors: Edward Jackson Otto Martin Gordon Bennett Samuel Town Kenneth Beck First Hasses: 1 loward Trees Glen Hurd Joe Blair Kenneth Nieman John Beard Second Hasses: Stewart Wright Harold Hurd Theodore Jones Morse Singer Holland Hall The Boys’ Glee Club is a good thing, and one of the student enterprises which deserves the best efforts of all boys interested. Mr. Dvorak states that this glee club is one of the best he has ever come in contact with. The club gave a delightful program at one of our musical assemblies. Also, most of the leading parts in the operetta were taken from its members. Given pro| er encouragement, this organization will develop into a worthwhile oppor- tunity for any boy with a musical inclination. Lillian Marr, '23. « 1923 a One Hundred Eighty-men The orchestra has been playing many difficult orchestrations for Choral numbers, such as the Rose Maiden,” accompanying the high school chorus at some of its appearances. The orchestra together with the chorus presented the opera, “Pinafore” May 4th. This is the first opera of its kind ever attempted in Urbana High School. Considering everything, the orchestra has proved a wonderful success, achieving all that might be expected of any high school orchestra. Mr. Dvorak predicts still greater success for the orchestra next year. Charles Havens, ’23 One Hundred Eighty eight 1923 « uhr Snscntanj ORCHESTRA The Urbana High School orchestra for 1922-23 started its career in the fall of 1922 with a registration of thirty-eight members, including only three vio - linists. Immediately a violin class was started for prospective musicians, under the supervision of R. F. Dvorak, instructor of music. As usual all work at first was very slow, but progress was made at each rehearsal, and it was not long be- fore the orchestra made its debut before the high school assembly. Of the four- teen who entered the course ten members developed sufficiently to play with the orchestra in all of its appearances during the remainder of the school year. Our musicians played at several Parent-Teachers Meetings, at high school concerts, and at the University of Illinois broadcasting station, WRM. a hr Snsrmarif CHORUS Probably no organization in the school has accomplished more than the chorus has this year. It is no easy task to train an unpicked chorus to sing heavy choral numbers from the best known operas, but Mr. Dvorak, through his energe- tic efforts, has instilled in his class the principles of harmony, appreciation, and ear training. The orchestrations of several numbers were learned by the high school orchestra which accompanied the chorus in the opera and several recitals. In September 1922. there were one hundred eighteen people registered in the class. The first public appearance of this organization was in Octol er; the chorus sang at the meeting of the Eastern Illinois State Teachers’ Association. Several assembly concerts were given during the first semester and two at meetings of the Parent-Teachers Association. The biggest accomplishment of this semester was the Chorus Concert, given January 19. In this entertainment the chorus was assisted by Miss Helen Dvorak, well-known Chicago violinist, and Raymond F. Dvorak. Miss Dvorak’s selections were beautiful. The songs were well chosen and she played with a wonderful beauty of expression. Mr. Dvorak surprised the chorus by contributing to the pro- grom four piano solos, each of which was very much enjoyed and appreciated. The varied and unusual program made the concert a great success. During the second semester chorus activities were very much in evidence. There were one hundred forty-eight in the class at this time and it was a very well balanced organization. On Hundred Eighty nine X 11)23 II II II limillllll III III Slip Roaemanj A radio concert was given in March at Smith Hall. The songs were broad- casted from the University station WRM. A short program by the chorus was given at the April meeting of the Urbana Woman’s Club. The opera “H. M. S. Pinafore” was presented Friday, May 4. The orchestra played the accompaniment for all the songs in the production. A recital was given at the University Auditorium, Mother’s Day, May 13. A program in honor of the Civil War Veterans was given May 25. The chorus has reason to be proud of its progress during the year. None of the numbers they undertook to learn were the simplified arrangement usually at- tempted by high school choruses. Each one was the original arrangement and each song they sang was thoroughly memorized. ny one of the selections can he taken as a criterion of their work for every number was perfected before the study of it was finished. The chorus learned twenty choral numbers as well as the complete opera and several lighter songs.

HE 1922 football season ended with the team winning five out of seven hard games. This season’s games were all very hard because the boys were outweighed by almost every team they went up against. The sea- son started out poor because the boys were all green at the game but as each game went by, the team looked just a little better than they had before. The two coaches deserve much credit for the success of the team. Mr. Bron- son and Mr. Clary had a great deal to do when the season started because only five regulars were left from last season, and things had to be started from the bottom. Mr. Bronson took over the line, and Mr. Clary handled the backfield. After three weeks of hard practice the coaches picked a team which was steered by Captain Stockwell. During the latter part of September two practice games were on the list, the first with St. Joseph in which Urbana won 6-0. Neither St. Joseph nor Urbana played good football and the game was marked by errors and several penalties on both sides. About two teams were used by Coach Bronson to see who was capable of holding down a j osition. The line did not show up well, as nearly all the men were new at the job and still had a great deal to learn. The team traveled to Bemcnt about a week after the game with St. Joseph and met defeat 9-6 on a muddy field. The Urbana lads played hard football most of the time but lacked punch at critical moments. The Bemcnt crew made most of their gains by the aerial route which the Urbana team was unable to stop. Urbana usually got the ball to the twenty-yard line and would fumble or lose it on downs. The lineups were practically the same for Urbana in the St. Joseph game and Bemcnt tilt, with Douthit, R. E.; Campbell and Blair, R. T.; Trees and Concrty, R. G.; Hurd, center; Blair and Kirby, L. G.; Zcck and Hudson, L. T.; Graham and Stephens, L. F.; F. Sperry and Don Sj crry. R. H. B.; Judy F. B.; Stockwell (capt.), Rea and Lemmon, L. H. B.; Stockwell and Rea, Q. B. Be- ment’s lineup was as follows: Wei’s, R. E.; Sloan. R. T.; Siler. R. G.; Long, cen- ter. ; Smith, L. G.; Orlcr, L. T.; Dare, L. E.; Bodanor, R. H. B.; Reading. F. B.; Hill and Reader, L. H. B.; Stout. Q. B. The beginning of the big season started when Urbana trimmed Tuscola 13-0 on the Urbana field, October 14, 1922. The lads showed every kind of improve- ment possible from their two practice games, and worked to a perfection both on offensive and defensive in nearly all periods. Judy made the first touchdown for the winners with a line plunge for nine yards, and Rea grabbed off the other with a run equally as long around end. The Tuscola team fought until the final whistle, but were weak at times on their defense which cost them the game. Bostic starred for the losers by making several pretty gains. Ross also played a steady game for the losers. The lineups: Urbana—Douthit. R. E.; Campbell, R. T.; Trees, R. G.; Hurd. Center; Hudson. L. G.; Blair L. T.; Graham, L. E.; Sperry, R. H. B.; Judy, F.

Rea and Judy made gain after gain for Urbana nearly all being from ten to twenty yards, while Captain Stock well and Sperry showed excellent interference on every play. A great deal of credit must be given to the line because they make up the backbone of a team, as could be seen here whre they opened holes for their backficld and stopped their opponents for losses on nearly every play. Rea made a 50-yard run for a touchdown and “Bill” Webber grabbed off a 55- yard run for a touchdown, 'flic others were made by Sperry, Judy and Stephens.

The game was almost anybody’s game until tiic final whistle blew because both teams were fighting hard in all periods and the little Cardoni on the loser’s team threatened the Urbana goal on several oc- casions. The Urbana touchdown came in the first period after Rea, Judy and Sperry had carried the ball close enough for Captain Stockwell to call Judy through center for six points. The other three points came for Urbana when Sperry made a pretty 30-yard place kick. Cardoni starred for the Capital lads by making several ten and fifteen-yard runs and one time broke away from the Urbana defense for fifty yards and a touchdown. The lineups were: Urbana—Douthit, R. E.; Campbell and McElwee, R. T.; Trees and Concrty, R. G.; Hurd, center; Hudson and Kirby, L. G.; Blair, L. T.; Webber and Graham, L. E.; F. Sperry, R. II. B.; Judy, F. B.; Rea and Gray, L. H.

Coach Bronson and his warriors traveled to Danville on November 4, 1922, for one of the hardest games of the season which they won by the narrow margin of 3-0. 'flic score tells the biggest part of the battle, and tells that neither team had time to lie down on the job. The half ended 0-0 and things looked bad until in the third quarter when Urbana was able to work the ball a few yards at a time close enough to their goal for Sperry to get his toe into action and chalk up three points. Urbana tried only one pass in the game which was completed from Rea to Sperry for eight yards. Most of their gains were made by hard line plunges or off tackle plays which netted only a few yards at a time. 'I he Danville backs showed a good deal of punch but stopped suddenly when One Hundred Ninety-six « 1323 ® they met the Urbana line.

Urbana ventured over to Peoria on November u, 1922, and defeated the Lluffmen 7-0 in a continuous downpour of rain The two teams fought desper- ately the first quarter with very poor results, but about the middle of the second quarter “Doc blocked a punt and Kirby covered it on Peoria's 15-yard line. Through straight football the Urbana lads got the ball to the one-yard line but could not gain on three attempts through center. Captain Stockwell used his head on the next play and faked a line plunge, sending Sperry around end for six points with no one touching him. Sperry added another point by making a perfect field goal. Peoria threatened the Urbana goal several times but all efforts were in vain as the Champaign county lads’ line held together the entire game and stopped the losers’ backfield in first-class form. Peppard sneaked to one side of the field once and had a cinch touchdown had he caught the pass which proved too slip- pery. Maple and Kinsinger starred for the home boys, the first getting away with several nice gains and once running 70 yards after grabbing a jwss from one of his teammate’s shoulder. The ball was brought back because it had hit another Maroon before reaching him. The lineups: Urbana—Douthit,R. E.; Hudson, R. T.; Trees, R. G.; Hurd, center; Kirby, L. G.; Blair, L. T.; Graham, L.

Urbana lost its first scheduled game of the season to Mattoon 14-13, at Mat- toon, November 18. 1922. Mattoon had worked the ball down the field and over the line for six points in five minutes by straight football for all but about twenty- nine yards which was a neat pass from Andrews to White. Mattoon’s other touchdown did not come until early in the last period when the big halfback, Andrews, broke loose for fifteen yards and a touchdown. He kicked both goals in neat form. Urbana’s first touchdown came in the third quarter just after “Doc” had blocked a punt on Mattoon’s seven-yard line. A couple of plays and Kelly slid under for six points and Sperry kicked goal. The other touchdown came late in the fourth when Mattoon fumbled and Urbana recovered with ten yards to go. Rea made seven yards on the first play and Kelly again slid over but failed to kick goal, leaving Mattoon one point in the lead as the game ended two minutes later. Urbana was handicap| ed by the absence of Captain Stockwell who was confined to his bed by illness. The lineups: Urbana—Douthit (Capt.), Stephens, R. E.; Hudson, R. T.; Trees, R.

The big game of the season as usual came on November 24, 1922, when Champaign defeated Urbana 7-3, in a hard fought game. Everyone expected Champaign to wallop Urbana by at least 50-0, but the Urbana lads never gave up hopes and outplayed the Maroons in nearly all stages. The game was played in a steady rain which caused many fumbles, but both teams hammered away just the same. The Urbana line proved its strength in this battle by holding Pankau and the two halfbacks to a standstill nearly the whole game. Champaign took the lead in the second quarter when Pankau carried the pigskin over for six points and Raymond kicked goal. A little later in the same quarter the Orange and Black came through to the twenty-yard line where Captain Stockwell managed to make a neat place kick for three points. The second half was nearly straight football on both sides with first one threatening and then the other. Captain Stockwell tried another place kick from the 37-yard line which fell short about ten yards. Raymond tried two place kicks during the game, one missing by far and the other hitting the goal post and bouncing back into the field. The game ended with Urbana in ]x ssession of the ball near the center of the field. The lineups: Urbana—Douthit, R. E.; Hudson, R. T.; Trees, R. G.; Hurd, center; Blair and Conerty, E. G.; Kirby, L.

This is an unusual number as there are seldom more than sixteen men who qualify. Captain Adrian Stockwell, the fast little quarterback, will leave this year with the class of ’23. and his place on the team will be hard to till. Adrian made the All-State football eleven. George Rea, the lad who played halfback in every game of the season, will he another big loss. Rea’s specialty was to carry the hall ten or fifteen yards around end. George was chosen on the All-State team as halfback. Jacob Judy will stay with the school for two more years. His position as fullback could not have been better filled. When a few more yards were needed to make a first down “Jake” invariably took it over. Emn.ett Kirby is another lad who will fill his old job next year. He played a consistent game as guard all season. Glen Hurd’s j osition as center will be a hard one to fill next year. He played in every game and seldom did the opponents get by his jiost for any large gain. Ralph Douthit will he a very valuable man next year and will probably hold down his regular job at the wing position. “Doc” was a consistent player all sea- son and was chosen to play on the All-State eleven at the wing position. Clarence Graham will hold down the other wing position next season. “Cracker” has played at this place the past two seasons and will be very valuable to the team next year. One Hundred Xinety nine 1U23 « aaeam L Howard Hudson was one of the most consistent players on the team this year and was chosen by his fellow mates as the leader for the leader for next fall. Floyde Sperry held down the right half back position in first class form the biggest part of the season. Roy Kelly took over the right half back job the latter part of the season and played some real football both of offense and defense. Joe Blair played a steady game at guard all season and when a few yards were needed the ball usually went through a hole made by himself and Hurd. Howard I rces, a new lad in school this year played a guard position all sea- son and Coach Bronson will have a hard time finding a man to equal his ability. Roger Conerty is a little two hundred pound man who will get to play for two more years. “Rog” got in several games this season and will probably take Blair's or frees’ place at guard next fall. Harvey («ray will be with the school for one more year and a great deal is expected from him next fall. “Ilarve” played in the backfield this season and will probably hold down a half back job next fall. Krmel McElwce got in several games this season at tackle and his motto seemed to be “Get Your Man.” Walton Campbell is another lad who got into several of this season’s battles and showed his stuff at the tackle position. William Weber is a lad who will be expected to do a great deal next fall in the backfield. Bill’’ will probably take Captain Stockwcll’s place at quarter back, where he played in several games this season. Junior Stephens got into several games this season when “Doc” or “Cracker” was out and he held down their places like a real veteran. Donald Sperry will be back next season fighting for a berth on the team in the backfield. “Don” played in several tilts this season and showed he was a good man.

About sixty can- didates turned out to fight for a birth on the team, among which were Captain Rea, Douthit, Graham, Marberry and Kelly from last year’s first and second teams, and several of last year’s class stars, including Waldo, Hoggatt, Stoltey, Yandervort, Gray. Weber, and Martin. I bis season is marked as the most successful since basketball has been one of the leading sports here. Out of fourteen scheduled games ten were victories, including the strong Lane Tech, Champaign. Danville and Tuscola teams. Those lost were to Danville, Villa Grove, Bloomington and Champaign. The end of the season including the tournament numbered thirteen victories and five defeats the last being to the fast Villa Grove quintet that finished first in the State Tour- nament held at the gym annex on March 16 and 17. The first game of the season was lost to Danvi.le on the winners’ floor, to 14. Neither team was able to hit the ring the first half, ending 8 to 6 in fat or of Danville. The Vermilion County seat lads came back the second half and grabbed off a couple of long ones from the center and secured a safe lead for the remainder of the game. T he fourth quarter was a seesaw affair with both teams playing about equal. The guards of both teams deserve a great deal of credit because only three short shots were allowed during the game, the rest coming from back of the free throw line. “Sheik” Rea dropped in three baskets for the visitors and Tilton starred for the home town team by making three sinkers from the center. Car- son, the tall center, also played a neat game and got three counters. The lineup: Danville (23)—Swick (C), I '.; Williams, F.; Hudson, F.; Carson, center ; Newman, C.: Winters, G.; Tilton, G.; Meithe, G. Urbana (14)— Waldo, F.; Marberry, F.; Rea (Capt.), C; Douthit, G.; Graham, G. Referee— Crooks, U of I. The second game of the season was won from the Rantoul five in the Urbana gym, 14-5, on the night following the game at Danville. Coach Bronson did not make a substitution, but the lads did not seem to Ik affected by the two games in two days and showed some real basketball, especially on defense. Both teams used a five-man defense but the Urbana five showed the better by holding their opponents to only one field goal which was a long shot by Crane. Marberry and Waldo worked good in this game and managed to get the ball back of the Rantoul guards in perfect style. Waldo led the winners on the score board with three baskets and Rea, Douthit and Marberry each got one. The lineup: Urbana (14)—Waldo, I '.; Marberry, F.; Rea (Capt.), C.; Douthit, G.; Graham, G. Rantoul (5)—Hall, F.: Crane. F.; Cole, C.; Rose, G.; Susdorf, G.; Swayze, G. Referee—Sagalow, U. of I. The next game was played on the Urbana floor with Monticcllo on January 12, 1923, the score lK ing 13 to 9 in favor of Urbana. Neither team showed good team work and seesawed back and forth, first one team taking the ball down the floor and missing a basket and then another. The half ended 2 to 1 in favor of Monticello. Urbana started out in the second half with Marberry grabbing off two long ones which were followed by one from Rea and Waldo. “Doc” pulled some clever dribbling and Craker politely took the ball away from the opponent’s forwards so many times that they finally got disgusted.

I he I rbana lads snowed under the Decatur five on the losers’ floor on Janu- ary 15. 1923, to the tune of 28 to 14. 1 he Urbana quintet showed real form and outclassed the Decatur tossers in all periods of the game. The score was 20 to 10 at the end of the half in favor of the Orange and Black. Teamwork was the password of the winners and this had been lacking in previous games. Salley and McGowan starred for the losers, the first getting two long bas- kets and the latter one. The losers lacked offensive work and showed this only in the last quarter. This was the fourth game of the season without a substitution, which is an unusual occurrence. The lineup: Urbana (28)—Marberry, F.; Waldo, F.; Rea (Capt.), C.; Douthit, G.; Graham, G. Decatur (14)—Satley, F.; Thompson, F.; Richard- son, F.; Offcnstein, C; McGown, G.; Perry, G.; Wilson, G. Referee—Vinter, Monticello. The fifth game of the season was a return game with the Danville five on the Urbana floor, the score being Urbana 28, Danville 18. The Danville five seemed to work equally as well as they did in the first game but the Bronson lads showed a great deal of improvement both in hitting the ring and stopping the visitors. Urbana’s short pass system seemed to puzzle the visitors, and this com- bined with speed and accuracy brought the home boys out on top. Douthit and Marberry led the winners on points with the first sinking five baskets and getting two free throws to his credit. “Tubbie” Marberry dropped in four pretty ones from fhe side of the floor, followed by Rea and Waldo, each getting one apiece. Graham played a real game at standing guard and often held down three of his opj onents. Carson and Captain Swick starred for Danville, each getting two baskets apiece. Swick also dropp'd in six free throws which helped out his team’s score. Urbana’s first substitution of the season was made in the tilt when Webber and Kelly went in for Waldo and Ren, George being taken out by the foul route. The Danville team was accompanied by Mr. Ira McKinney’s red-coated band and about one hundred and fifty rooters. The rest of the gym was filled by the Urbana band and several hundred rooters. Mr. Dvorak led the Urbana band. The line-up: Urbana (28)—Marberry, F.; Waldo and Kelly, F.; Rea (Capt.), C.; Webber, C.; Douthit and Graham, G. Danville (18)—Swick (Capt.), C.; Hudson, F.; Darson and Marrison, C; Tilton, G.; Meithe, G. Referee, Crooks, U. of I. One of the best games of the season was played on the Urbana floor, Feb- ruary 20, with I.ane Tech in a double overtime battle with Urbana coming out on top, 22 to 20. This was the first time the Lane Tech team was beaten this season. 1 he Urbana team outplayed the northern state lads and well deserved the victory, but they had an off night in hitting the rim, therefore keeping their score with reaching distance of the opponents. At the end of the game the score stood 16 all, which called for five minutes more of real basketball. At the end of this | eriod both Urbana and Lane Tech had netted another basket, leaving it 18 all, which, of course, called for another five minutes. This period was a real thriller l ecause “Doc” slipped through for a basket and the I-ane Tech forward also made a pretty sinker from the center, tieing the score at 20 all. Just as the whistle blew Farris of the visitors drew a - 1U23 Two Hundred Four «5 She Snaemanj foul under the Urbana basket and “Doc” dropped in two free throws which won the game 22 to 20. Douthit was in the limelight for Urbana in this tilt with his dribbling and passing which came in best just when it was needed the most. Captain Rea also showed up well and got four counters to his credit. He was also replaced by George Gorman when forced to leave the game by the foul route. The lineup: Urbana—Marberry, F.; Waldo, F.; Rea (Capt.), C.; Gorman. C.; Douthit, G.; Graham, G. Lane Tech.—John, F.; Sponioczny, F.; I arson, F.; Greaves, C.; Kusinski, G.; Farris, G. Referee—Sogolow, U. of I. 'I’hc game which most fans were looking forward to was the Urbana-Cham- paign game, played on January 26 in the Champaign gym. The game was a heart-breaker for the Urbana quintet, when the Maroons came through in the last few minutes for a win of 34 to 20. The battle was one of the fastest and hardest fought games played on the Champaign floor all season and was any- body’s game until the last two minutes when Captain McKay and “Fggic” Olson flopped in enough pointers to sew up the game. Things looked pretty bad for the Urbana five the first half when they stopped on 13 and the winners were ahead with twenty points. The fans had begun to get disgusted because they expected to see a real battle between the close rivals. When the second half started the lads from the east side of the line had fight in their eyes and the fans had to open their eyes to some of the l est basketball seen in this part of the country in several years. The speedy Olson very seldom vis- ited his goal and the ball was in Urbana’si possession about two-thirds of the time. Urbana grabbed seven points and Champaign was allowed three. The fourth quarter started with both sides pulling for baskets and first one team would drop in one and then the other until Olson and McKay sank a couple and won the tilt. Olson was the star for the winners, sinking ten baskets during the evening and dropping in six free throws. He also showed some real dribbling and pass- ing which usually ended up with a basket. McKay also showed up well in the battle by marking up three counters. Captain Rea led the losers on the score board by dropping in five pretty baskets. Douthit got nine free throws to his credit and Waldo three baskets, and Marberry two. Although Graham did not star on the score board he did his part by keeping the opponents from getting short shots. The lineup: Champaign—Olson, F.; Fox, F.; W. Gamble.

The Urbana high quintet won a rather slow, ragged game from the Kan- kakee high five on February 2, by the score of 16-7. Neither team seemed to be playing their brand of basketball and the game was slowed down by the numer- ous fouls and double dribbles. The home boys very seldom showed good team work and missed many easy shots which would have raised the score considerably. They made only four baskets during the entire game and these were all back of the free throw line. “Doc” copped eight free throws and helped the score out a great deal. The visitors were unable to pass around the strong Urbana defense which was the only thing that seemed to work for them. Kankakee was handicapped by lacking in the free throw department. Nearly ever)- man on the team tried at the job and only Irps was able to drop the ball through. They had eight tries. 1323 Irps and I aylor starred for the visitors by being everywhere at once. Irps had tough tick on several of his shots but had the home town fans scared sev- eral times. The line up: Urbana—Marberry, F.; Waldo, F.; Gorman, F.; Vandervort, F. ; Rea (( apt.), C.; I Ioggatt, C.; Douthit, G.; Webber, C.; Graham, G.; Gray, G. Kankakee—Taylor (Capt.), F.; Patchct, F.; Irps, G; Cry. C.; Preppo, G.; Kuntz, G.; Barrett, G. Referee—Taylor, U. of 1. On February 3, the same evening the firsts met the fast Lane Tech, the re- serves tackled the Big Rantoul quintet and were defeated, 34-13. The game was played in the winners’ gym, and the little Urbana lads were lost on the small slick floor. The big Rantoul huskys were in the lead in all periods and were able to sink a basket whenever they pleased. They also had a five-man defense which covered one end of the floor and very seldom did the visitors manage to slip through it with success. The Urbana defense worked good in all periods and allowed the home boys very few short shots but they had the ball trained to drop through the hoop from the center. The lineup: Rantoul—Hall. F.; Mulliken, F.; Crane, F.; Ualder, F.; Cole (Capt.), C.; Morgan, C.; Susdorf, G.; Swartz, G.; Rose, G.; Ross, G. Urbana— Vandervort, F.; Webber, F.; I Ioggatt, C.; Kelly (Capt.), G.; Martin, G.; Gray, G. Referee—Tozier, Champaign high school. Urbana won its next game from the Mattoon quintet by the lop-sided score of 46-20 in the losers’ gym. 'flic Bronson lads showed the home town fans some classy basket-tossing and out-classed the home boys in all periods. Urbana got the jump from the start and dropped in about four or five count- ers before the Mattoon five knew the game had started. Urbana’s defense was working better than it had before in this game and the home boys were puzzled from the start as to how to get through. Captain Rea dropped the ball through the hoop from all corners of the floor and kept the scorer busy with eight ringers. “Doc”, Marberry and Waldo were also hitting the basket pretty regular and grabbed off four each. Huggison and Rungc starred for the losers, showing fairly good shooting and passing. The first got three baskets and the other one. Walker also stood in for three baskets and did some clever passing to his teammates. The lineup: Urbana—Marberry, F.; Gorman. F.; Waldo, F.; Kelly. Rea (Capt.), C.; Hoggatt, C.: Douthit, G.; Webber, G.; Graham, G.; Gray, G. Mat- toon—Huggison, F.; White (Capt.), F.; Walker, F.; G.

The Tuscola team was the next on the schedule in the Urbana gym, Feb. to, the score being Urbana 19 and Tuscola 9. The game was exciting in all periods although the visitors were held away from their goal in perfect order. The first half ended 9-2 in favor of the home boys. Tuscola got their small sum off of free throws during this period but started off the second half with a spurt and dropped in three pretty baskets. Urbana then called time out to find out what was the matter and from then on the visitors slowed down again. Marhcrry and Graham played a good game both on defensive and offensive work. “Tubbie” slipped back of the Tuscola guards several times for a short shot or for a nice pass to his teammates. Captain Rea also played a neat game by dropping in four baskets. Coach Bronson was figuring on sending his sec- Tteo Hundred Six « HI23 mb ■QlM alte Soaemarg saw onds in the latter part of the game but the Tuscola lads came through and the regulars had to stick it out. The lineup: Urbana—Marberry, F.; Waldo, F.; Rea (Capt.), C.; Douthit. G.; Graham, G. Tuscola—Gross, F.; Bostic, F.; West, C.; Morris (Capt.), G.; Monroe, G. Referee, Taylor, U. of I. Umpire. Burke, U. of I. The reserves played the curtain raiser for the Tuscola game by defeating the Sadorus team 19-3. The reserves held a safe lead at all times and their goal was very seldom visited.

The fast state champions, Villa Grove, took the Urbana basketball team into camp on the local floor by a 25-16 score. The speedy little visitors had things going their way in nearly all periods except the first, when the home boys led 9- . It looked like Urbana would add another victory to their list at the end of the first quarter but the speedy all state center and all-state forward, Reynolds and Barmore, got started and when the whistle blew for the half the score was 11 all. The winners’ machine. Hulse, Barmore and Reynolds kept going and allowed the Urbana boys only one basket during the last half. Hulse and Rey- nolds starred for the visitors, the first getting four baskets and the other five. I.ittle Barmore was held away from the basket but played his part in passing and dribbling. The main cause for the defeat of the Urbana lads was the absence of Coach Bronson who was in bed with a fever of one hundred and four degrees. The lineup: Villa Grove—Hulse, F.: Barmore. F.; Reynolds, C.; Sanders, G.; Combs (Capt.), G. Urbana—Marberry, F.; Waldo. F.; Rea (Capt.), C.; Douthit, G.; Graham, G. Referee—Wagner, U. of I. Umpire, Sagolow, U. of I. On February 17, the night after the Villa Grove defeat, the Champaign County scat lads suffered another defeat to the Bloomington team 19-16. The score was close in all periods of the game, due to the fact that the visitors found the spot for their long shots. The first quarter looked as if the Bloomington boys were sure of a win when they were in the lead with eight points. The half ended in a different tune, with the home boys ahead 13-9. The next half started with the visitors clicking them in from all corners of the floor. The Urbana lads played their usual game only at times, and often three visitors were down on one home guard and a basket was almost certain. Medeneyer, the lanky red-headed center and the little forward, Capt. Bald- win, starred for the winners, the first getting four baskets and the other, three baskets and three free throws. Coach Bronson was unable to lx present in this tilt also and things did not work off as smooth as usual. The lineup: Bloomington—Baldwin (Capt.), F.; Grossman. F.; C. Bald- win.

The biggest game of the season was played in the Urbana gym. on February 23, before the largest crowd that ever squeezed in the home gym. when the Bron- © 1323 - ue£ Two Hundred Seven p ....... flags� ! ti ii Shr Knarmanj ........................ son five licked the Van Liew by the score of 21-13. The Urbana machine, Douthit, Rea, Waldo, and Marberry, took the ball down through the Champaign defense so often that they were dizzy and sick at heart. The Maroons were lucky that they got a few short shots to help their sickly score out a bit. Olson and McKay had to shoot most of their shots from the center of the floor. Marberry and Waldo played their positions like veterans. Although “Tubby” did not get any baskets his work was of superior type. Waldo scrambled through for two counters. Captain Rea played well in all periods of the battle and seized three pretty baskets. He also got the jumps from the lucky McKay more than two-thirds of the time. “Doc” and Graham showed the ferocious rooters some real guarding and Ralphie dribbled through the Maroons with great ac- curacy and grabbed three baskets and five free throws. “Cracker’s” guarding was the big feature of the game. 1 le handled the close rivals with wonderful skill and often came out from under three or four of them with the ball. Olson and McKay starred for the visitors, and although they had tough luck in hitting the ring each of them made two baskets. The little Doolen, one of the best men the losers had, went into the battle the last quarter and seemed to pep up his team mates. The lineup: Champaign—Fox, F.; Olson, F.; McKay (Capt.), C.; Gam- ble, G.; Doolen, G.; Finical, G. Urbana—Marberry, F.; Waldo, F.; Rea (Capt.), C.; Douthit, G.; Graham, G.

THE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The mid-eastern district basketball tournament held in the Urbana high school gymnasium on March I, 2, 3, turned out to be the best ever held in this part of the country. There were fifteen good teams entered to decide the championships of this part of the state in which the fast Villa Grove lads walked away with all by de- feating the Urbana quintet in the finals, 16-9. They then marched through the sectional tournament at Decatur, by defeating every team they faced. From there the little quintet came to the state finals and trimmed the Canton outfit on Friday, March io. and the next night came through in the final by defeating the powerful Rockford team in one of the best high school games ever seen in this part of the country. The first session of the district tournament here included three games, Sid- ney vs. Tolono; Urbana vs. Rantoul; Mahomet vs. Homer. The Sidney crew won the curtain raiser by the score of 21-7 in a rather slow game. The second game between Urbana and Rantoul proved to be a snappy one with the home boys winning 15-8. Marberry led the winners on the score board by sinking three pretty baskets from the side of the floor. The score was close all during the game and the score was 9-4 at the end of the half. The lineup: Urbana— Marberry, F.; Waldo. F.; Rea (Capt.), C.; Douthit, G.; Graham. G. Rantoul— Hall (Capt.), F.; Crane. F.; Cole, C.; Rose, G.; Susdorf, G. The Mahomet-Homer game was a big surprise to most fans because Ma- homet was doped out to win, being runnersup in the county tournament at Ran- toul. Homer won by doubling the score 20-10. About the worst upset of the whole tourney came on Friday morning in the first game when the Tuscola five handed the fast Champaign team a defeat of ro i2. Champaign started their second team, expecting an easy game, but were forced to shove in their regulars at the beginning of the second half. The firsts were unable to overcome the 12-point lead piled up against them and during the latter part of the game gave up all hopes. The dopesters again missed their guess when the Longview crew was thrown cut of the run by the husky St. Joseph lads, 12-7. The fast little Longview boys were unable to get their machine to hitting on all five and were behind at all times on the score l oard. The third session opened up with Fisher licking Farmer City 24-18 in a speedy game. The Farmer City lads were unable to break up the powerful at- tack of the fast forward, Cagle, who caged six baskets. The Sadorus-Philo game proved to be a slow game with Philo coming out. on top 23-6. The teams showed lack of teamwork but fought hard in all periods to nose the other out. The last game of the third session was played between Urbana and Tuscola which Urbana won by the narrow margin of 17-14. The game seemed to be anybody’s game until the last couple of minutes. The Tuscola five were leading at the end of the half 10-8. and things looked black for the home boys, but they came back and redeemed themselves the next half. The lineup: Urbana—Waldo, F.; Marberry, F.; Rea (Capt.), C.; Douthit, G.; Graham, G. Tuscola—Monroe, F.; Bostic, F.; Clapper, C.; West, G.; Cross, G. The fourth session oj ened with Homer defeating Sidney 23-14. The Homer five were full of pep and speed until the last minutes of play and were never in danger. Villa Grove played their first game of this session and showed their strength by using both their first and second teams in licking the Fisher five 37-9. Villa 1U23 Tteo Hundred Sine aanew tt alie fiuaemarg Grove’s guarding was the feature of the game and they held the fast Cagle down to one stray basket. The score was 10-3 in the winner’s favor at the end of the half, but they opened up the next half and came out ahead. St. Joseph handed Philo a neat trimming in the last game of this session by coming out one point ahead 15-14. Philo was in the lead at the end of the half 10-5, but weakened enough the second half to allow St. Joseph to sneak out. The fifth session on Saturday afternoon was started off by Urbana defeating Homer 29-7, in a one-sided game. Urbana showed superior skill in guarding and hitting the ring quite often. Coach Bronson used part of his second string men in the latter part of the tilt to save his regulars for the finals. Villa Grove handed St. Joseph a walloping in the closing game of this ses- sion by winning 43-4. Both teams used their second teams nearly the whole game to save the first for the finals. The sixth and last session was opened by Homer taking third place from St. Joseph by defeating them 19-11. The game was fast in most periods and both teams showed signs of tiring. The final game was a thriller from start to finish with the Villa Grove quintet copping the championship by the score of 16-9. The game was played before the largest crowd that ever tried to squeeze into the gym and everyone saw a real basketball game. Waldo started the scoring by dropping in a long one but “Shorty” Barmorc, the fast little blonde forward of the visitors, caged one right afterwards. The scrap then started with a rush, and the half ended with Villa Grove in the lead 9-5. Urbana came back the second half and played a wonderful game, holding the opjxmcnts away from their goal for everything but a free throw. No one knew who would win until the last couple of minutes when the winners sank a couple of pretty long shots and grabbed off the bacon. The lineup: Villa Grove—Hulse, F.; Barmore, F.; Reynolds, C.; Sanders, G.; Combs (Capt.), G. Urbana—Marberry, F.; Waldo. F.; Rea (Capt.), C.; Hoggatt, C.; Douthit, G.; Graham, G. The officials for the tournament were McDowell of Newman. Illinois, and Small of Lincoln, Illinois. Timer, Breckinridge. Scorers, Holmes and Riley. The All-Star teams chosen by the officials were as follows: First Team: F., Baremore, Villa Grove. F. , Gross, Tuscola (Capt.) C., Reynolds, Villa Grove. G. , Douthit, Urbana. G., Graham, Urbana. Second Team : F., McCarrey, Homer. F. , Hulse, Villa Grove. C, Rea, Urbana (Capt.). G. , Cagle, Fisher. G., Monroe, Tuscola. « 1SJ23 a BASKETBALL “U” MEN Ralph Douthit, our speedy little running guard, has one more year to sink them for Urbana High. “Doc” is one of the cleverest dribblers in the state and it was a common occurrence for him to dribble the length of the floor several times in one game and either get a ringer himself or feed it to one of his teammates for the two points. Doc” was chosen on the first all-district team. Captain George Rea played the center position the entire year and his va- cancy will he hard to fill next season. Rea got from three to five baskets in every game and was a hard player at all times. He was chosen on the second all-dis- trict team. Clarence Graham will side in with “Doc” next year and hold down his regu- lar berth at back guard. “Cracker” was always at his jx st and not more than twice lid anyone get back of him for a basket during the season. He was the most consistent player on the team this season and was chosen on the first all- district team. Turo Hundred Eleven ® 1U23 ® She Siwmanj S NS! b Allen Waldo is another man who will be hard to replace next season. Waldo usually started the scoring machine and was hardly ever satisfied unless he could get a couple or more during the evening. Elmer Moggatt was the only other man on the squad to make his letter. This was his first year in varsity competition and he showed up well in all his games. His regular position is center, although he often alternated as forward. Marian Marberry will he a great loss to the team next year as he was very clever in passing the ball as well as sinking about four in each tilt. “Tubby” usual- ly gave the opposing teams plenty to do in keeping him away from the ring.

The Urbana team won by in- terco.legiate rules, which state that in case of a tie, the team winning the relay shall be awarded the meet. The meet ended a tie, 44 to 44, but because the Ur- bana relay team won, Urbana carried away the honors. The summaries: 40-yard free style: Won by H.

He will be a great loss to the team next year. Reid Evans will have two more years to sail through the water for Urbana Evans took a first in the breast stroke at both the Danville and Decatur meets, coming out at least one length ahead of his opponents. Walter Schilling proved that he was one of the neatest divers in this section of the country when he placed first in the event at both meets. Walter has two more years to complete for Urbana. Holland Patterson has one more year to swim under the colors of Orange and Black and a great deal is expected from him next year. “Pat” swam with the relay team that took first place in both meets and p'laced in all other entries he tried. 1 ki Tieo Hundred Sixteen 9 SSE m—v 1U23 TRACK Ttea Hundred Seventeen ■.� 1923 a � r� ■ mw .... a hr Snarmarif CSX •51 w 5 c W B c- 3 es � i mu i ii ■ OC5J1 m r. cn TRACK SQUAD JElir Urrarmarif TRACK SEASON OF 1923. The 1923 track season opened on April 21, with Danville defeating Urbana by a score of 80 to 42. The Vermilion county seat lads carried home 12 firsts and several seconds and thirds.

This is “Bill’s” second year on the track team and he is expected to be a valuable man in the half next year. He placed in nearly every meet he entered this year. Roy Kelly proved to be a point getter this season by placing in the broad jump and pole vault at every meet. This is Kelly’s last year to participate in athletics at Urbana High School and he will be greatly missed next season. Walker Dilley proved to be a quarter mile runner at the annual interscholas- tic track meet where he placed fourth in the event. Dilley was running against some fast company but determination to get a “U,” get a medal, get some more points for Urbana and a few more things enabled him to succeed in all. Slir LHnsrmani The annual debates Urbana and Danville proved disastrously to both affirm- ative and negative teams from Urbana. The affirmative team; Anna Sporleder, Philip Hundley, and Kenneth Neiman with Joseph Blair, debated against the Dan- ville negative team on the home stafce. Question was Resolved that, “Foreign Unskilled Labor should be kept out of the country for a period of ten years.” The affirmative team lost the debate on a two to one decision. Philip Hundley will be the only debater back in school next year, the remainder will be lost by graduation. k Th'o Hundred Twenty-four i.aaggiu ii s 1U23 x w axsv The negative team, which travelled to Danville, was composed of the follow- ing members: Naomi Wyninfcer, Charles Webber, Richard Woolbert and Louise Still, alternate. The debate topic was the same as for the debate on the Urbana stafte. The decison was unanimously in favor of the Danville affirmative team. The en- tire negative team was the same as that which debated under the Senior colors. Louise Still will be the only one to be enrolled next year, of this quartet. 1U23 Two Hundred Twenty-five J Slip Xuaemarg THE MILLIKEN CONTEST The week following the Charleston Contest a second contest was held in which Urbana participated. This was the third annual oratorical and musical contest held at Milliken University, Decatur. Members from all high schools in the state were invited to partake in this contest. As in Charleston, oratorical try-outs are held in the morning but are in three sections, j)octry being omitted. Helen Maguire, Louise Brcscc, and Vernalec Burpo again represented Urbana, and they were all selected for the final tryouts. Marie Exton, who represented Urbana in the music contest, was not entered in the finals. In the final contest the Urbana representatives did much to make us pro 1 of them. Helen Maguire, with her humorous reading, “When the Honeymoon Wanes , was awarded first place. Louise Brcsce, giving the oration, “The Death Penalty , and Vernalec Burjx), with the dramatic selection, “Bobbie Shafto , were both placed second. A first place at Charleston, and a first and two seconds at Milliken make our school one of the leading schools in oratorical contests in this district. Though of course we do not want to be selfish, we can not help hoping for even better results from next year’s orators. Alice Oathout, ’25. L Tsco Hundred Twenty-si •0 '1: - 1023 « ■ ahr jRnsrmarif ILLINOIS HIGH SCHOOL PRESS ASSOCIATION HE first annual convention to The Illinois State High School Press Association and High School Journalism Conference met November mil 23, 24, 25. 1922. It was held under the auspices of the courses in jour- nalism of the university. The purpose of the association is to further the interests of High School journalism in Illinois, to promote cooper- ation among high school students and editors, to offer advise by the University courses in journalism. The program was composed of many interesting and fully successful ses- sions, held in the different buildings, likewise, special exhibits held in the journal- ism rooms in University Hall. These exhibits included one of newspapers, magazines and annuals entered in the “Better High School Publications” contest; and one of books on journalism which are especially helpful to high school and one of books on journalism which are especially helpful to High School journalists and their faculty advisers. Participants in the conference were students delegated from each high school in the state to represent its publications, including official delegates. Some of the journalistic advisers were also present. Upon arrival, these delegates were met by the students in journalism, acting as guides, and directed to the Union Building. The information booths and registration headquarters were at the ser- vice of the visitors. The procedure was comj etently arranged and managed by officers elected May 4. 1922 at the first meeting. It involved the following program: entertain- ment. business meeting, lecture and discussions concerning news and sport writ- ing. make-up and magazine work, publication and management, problems. At the business meeting, the election of officers was of utmost importance and especially so to us. since it resulted in the election of Harold Holmes as trea- surer of the Press Association. The office is one of great responsibility, much of the work of the association depending upon it. “Shorty” is especially adapted 1U23 Two Hundred Twenty'nine ma (Elie Snaemarg to any such position by virtue of his service with local papers and High School Publications. Officers for 1923 are filled as follows: President, Eli Hubert of Parker; Vice-President, Lillian Polk of Mt. Vernon; Secretary, Edna Best of Milford; Treasurer, Harold Holmes of Urbana. Another feature of particular importance was the presentation of awards to the winning annuals entered in the contest. The judges were editors of the Courier, News-Gazette and Illini, respectively. Schools were classified in the contest according to the size of their respective enrollments. Of the annuals un- der Division Three, the “Rosemary” was given first place. It was edited by Thomas Gorman ’22. The criticisms, altogether complimentary, read: “Good Title Page.. The arrangement of the whole is so well balanced that it gives a pleasant first appearance. The athletic pages are well done. The illustrated calendar is good. The literary department is good. The mountings for the pic- tures are pleasing. The drawings are all of high order.” 'flic Echo, though entered in the contest, failed to win a place. As memoirs and souvenirs, we are justly proud of the leather Matrix won by the Rosemary, the controlling memberships granted to both the Rosemary and Echo, and the emblems of the association worn by the official delegates: Harold Holmes, representing the Echo and Mary Flom, representing the Rosemary. l For our jxart, we feel that the first conference of the Association was an immense success and that any future cooperation and pcrserverance is assured. We herald our anticipated achievements as members and promoters of the High School Press Association.
