BMC (Die ttusrmaru' 5MSSOEE E Ihwrb of timcatinn HE Board of Education is composed of a President and six members. They are elected by the majority vote of the people and receive no com- pensation for their work. The members are elected alternately—two new members every year. Each member serves three years and the President serves one year. Regular meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month in the office at the high school building. At the call of the President the Board meets in special session whenever it is necessary. The duties of the Board are two-fold: (1) The educational administration consisting of the employment of teachers and the superintendent, who is held responsible for the success of the schools, the nomination of teachers and recom- mendations for the general management and welfare of the school. (2) The Board is responsible for the making of the budget by means of which the money received from taxes and other sources is wisely expended. The budget is made up of eight main divisions: 1—General control; 2- Instructional service; 3— Operation of plant; 4—Maintenance of plant; —Fixed charges; 6—Debt ser- vice: 7—Capital outlay; 8—Auxiliary agencies. The Board is held accountable to the people for the management of the finances of the school and has adopted as a policy the auditing of its books by a Certified Public Accountant. The following quotation by Ell wood P. Cubberley gives a fine expression of the value of the work of the Board of Education: “The service that a broad-minded and progressive school board, free from political, denominational, and fraternal influences; one that works with the higher welfare of the schools under its control contantlv in mind; and one that extends to its executive officers the confidence and intelligent sympathy which brings out the best in each of them, so that all connected with the schools feel assured of their wisdom and fairness; such a community service is one the impor- tance of which is hard to over-estimate. To few men in any community comes the opportunity for finer or more enduring service. To feel that one has by his labors contributed to conditions which have resulted in a better moral tone in the community and a quickened intellectual life for all. is a personal satisfaction which is more attractive than money to the type of men most likely to make good school-board members.” jQfcar 3Ro� emani IIOllSlSSOc Mabel Duncan Ricketts, A.B.

V' JT SOS—33EB S Jtowmiirti Salutatory “Education is a debt due from the present to future venerations.” OIJ have fulfilled the obligations of your debt to this generation, duti- fully and faithfully. It remains for us to accept the responsibility of education the next generation. But the question arises naturally, “Why is education a debt, a duty?” Now. as never before, stupendous and puzzling issues are facing the people of the world. The problems of international relationship, of social reconstruction, of financial readjustment, and of the cry of the Youth movement resulting from the World War are demanding concentrated study and unusual statesmanship. One need be no prophet to foresee that the future holds even more such intricate problems. That is why leaders—leaders in thought and action—are demanded today and will he demanded in the future. Liberally speaking, only 2 per cent of the total population of the I'nited States have more than a grammar school education, yet 90 per cent “of our leaders today come from the ranks of those who have had the higher education.” Through such training the individual is empowered to discriminate intelligently between progressive and destructive movements and to act in accordance with this discrimination, and some are prepared to cope specifically with these prob- lems of the day. The educated class, of which we are a part, is the favored class of society; but it should find it a privilege to fill the positions demanding the greatest amount of capability. Because you have been visionary enough to realize that we must, sooner or later, fill the places vacated for us. we feel an awakened sense of responsibility, and are eager and willing to fill our places to the highest possible degree of per- fection. As is customary with such a group, some will probably be eminent in life, others moderately successful, while a few may lack initiative or means to advance themselves. The burden now. however, rests on our shoulders and not on yours. As a small token of our great appreciation of your unselfish services in the past, we welcome you—Parents, Friends, who are Worthy Citizens of the Nation —to these, our graduation exercises. Lillian Jessee. dic l n� cmary Valedictory “The port, well worth the cruise, is near. And every wave is charmed.ff OH some of us the port is here. For others more fortunate, it is near. We all rejoice to find ourselves in harbor after a long, hard cruise, but-—somehow, our joy is tinged with regret. This regret arises from the memories of those charmed waves. They have been charmed by generous citizens, loving parents, and loyal teachers. True, some waves brought on storms. In the storms, some of the original crew were lost. Tempests upset routine and hopes. Dark clouds conveyed bitterness and disappointment. We blush to admit that mutiny was known aboard our great ship. Vet after every trial, the sun came out. the seas cleared, and the charmed waves brought us to the home harbor. On each wave we gathered greater knowledge. With this knowledge we shall start our jour- neys into different fields. Our future courses will be varied; some will require more knowledge and training than will others. What could be the expectations from such a group? Every graduating class from time immemorial has hoped for at least one future President. Every class has desired to produce a scientist of renown. Who knows but that one of us will some day hold one of the Nobel prizes? Every class boasts its artists and musicians. Many of our group will embrace the professions; will fill busi- ness offices, and will hang out shingles of varied occupations. A few perhaps may occupy judges’ benches. Some may select political careers or enter high official and diplomatic circles. Various positions and walks of life will be under- taken. Most of us will require further training than we have hitherto received. It may be asked then, to what has our education in this school amounted? We have learned here the requisites for any occupation; we have acquired the fun- damentals for good manhood and womanhood, for good citizenship, and for good fellowship. Now our jolly good times are memories. Every individual of this class has helped another at sometime or other. At sometime every one has laughed with the rest. Every one has at times sorrowed with his fellow classmates. We have studied together, worked together, and played together. Our interests have been mutual. We have entered into the same activities. We have been loyal to the same school and the same locality. There has sprung up amongst us a common creed. In short, we have been a solid unit for four years, working to attain a mutual goal. Now the time has come when this crew—like every other crew—shall disem- bark and disband. We have enjoyed shore leave together at former times. The farewells were not said then with such difficulty for we all expected to return again. This time our leave is forever. Never again will our old ship sail with her loyal crew. All that will be left to her sailors of this journey will be pleas- ant memories. And so, to each and all of you. students of the class of 1924. Valedicto. Irene Marie Zack DEEZ23E3SSNS History of the Class of ’24 Genesis ND it came to pass in the month of September in the twentieth year that, behold, Thornburnites came out of obscurity and did shine as Freshmen of Urbana High School. Now when it came time to choose from their members certain of the elect, out of the host was chosen William, son of English, to rule over them, aided by Kuth. daughter of Langhoff, with Kenneth, son of Keller, as keeper of the archives; Helen, daughter of Holmes, keeper of the treasure, and Dorothy, daughter of Gray, as chief scribe. Over them presided a most just councillor, namely: Princess Thorn- burgh. Then all those of the tribe of Frosh gathered together and did present before the combined tribes “The Spirit of Christmas.” a stunt; moreover, this stunt was accorded the decision above all others and the fame of the tribe of Frosh was known through the land of their elders. And in all the length thereof and breadth thereof, no man could be found who had made the great varsity while yet of so few years as Philip, son of Hundley. Numbers Now after these things came the reign of Philip, son of Hundley, aided by Winifred, daughter of Cameron, with Ralph, son of Reno, as keeper of the ar- chives; Helen, daughter of Holmes, keeper of the treasure, and Irene, daughter of Zack. as chief scribe. As when known as the tribe of Frosh. the present tribe of Sophs had a most just councillor in a woman, the Princess of Pendergast. Whereupon they took council and presented “Life’s Greatest Prizes.” a stunt, but alas, favour was not with them. Also at this time women became interested in feats of strength, and girls’ athletics throve and flourished like a green bay tree. And there came need for the tribe to meet in council and debate with neighboring tribes concerning questions of importance. Those who took this office upon themselves were known as Irene, daughter of Zack: Shirley, son of Engle; Bernard, son of Moser, and Lillian, daughter of .lessee, as alternate. Moreover, the strong men of the tribe, one Graham and Douthit. made the foot- ball and basketball teams. Chronicles And the tribe dwelt in the land of High School ruled now by Ralph, son of Douthit. aided by Mary, daughter of the Douglass, with Ralph, son of Reno, as keeper of the archives; Wilbur, son of Knight, as keeper of the treasure, and Elizabeth, daughter of Blair, as chief scribe. Over these presided a most just councillor, the Princess Battaillc. Again did the tribe participate in debate. Those who with good advice made war on their opponents were: Helen, daughter of Waldo; Elizabeth, daughter of Blair; Shirley, son of Engle, and Bernard, son of Moser, as alternate. There were those who waxed diligent in the trials of strength upon whom the honored insignia of the “V” was bestowed. Yea, upon nu- -urmm (The lui ruumj so: throe who had held positions on the football squad and upon also two more who had won their honors on the basketball floor. And there was feasting and rejoic- ing in the land for lo. thie tribe did join in revelry with the Seniors. I I Exodus In the fourth year of their sojourn in the land of High School. Clarence, son of Graham, took up the sceptre and ruled wisely and well, aided by Shirley, son of Engle, with Kenneth, son of Vandervort, as keeper of the archives; Ma- tilda. daughter of Kirby, as keeper of the treasure, and Dorothy, daughter of Gray, as chief scribe. One Dvorak, king of music, was chief councillor. Again before the assembled tribe was given a stunt. “Paging the Public.” And again, as in days of old. there came gathered together at one time many assembled from the tribes that they might listen to our wise men: Irene, daughter of Zaek; Shir- ley. son of Engle: Herrick, son of Hall, and Lillian, daughter of .lessee, alter- nate. And in the end those of the tribe of Twenty-four were held as being most true in merit and sane in judgment of all the kingdom. There were three am- bassadors of the great varsity spread into the lands of the foreign, and also one Bernard, son of Moser, held State Championship in Oratory. There were those, ten in number, who upheld the honor of the tribe by worthy participation in Varsity football, and seven in number who added further fame to the tribe by membership on the basketball team. Great feats were displayed by those of the swimming and track teams, the latter making a decisive and overwhelming vic- tory for the tribe. And, yea. the time did come when to the number of an hundred and forty- three of the tribe of Twenty-four went forth, leaving behind records of achieve- ments unsurpassed and a trail of glory, and passed from the land of Urbana High School to the promised land beyond. Dorothy Gray. luisnuaru Statistics Tekel FTER endless mental strain and after almost fruitless search for new ideas I have finally decided on a subject that heretofore has never been spoken on in this high school. Furthermore, my plans for speaking are of such character that never before have they been used bv a high school under the burden of giving class statistics. I shall attempt to give you a statistical report on a great subject of one word. No other subject expresses the condition of the Senior class more adequately. Allow me. fellow Seniors and fellow people, to use the following word as a subject for this evening: Tekel. T-E-K-E-L. Tekel. I would ask that you listen closely lest your ears deceive you concerning this subject. Aside from the fact that there are one hundred forty-three Seniors, sixty of whom are boys and eighty-three of whom are girls, and aside from the fact that ninety per cent of the girls smoke and swear (the other ten per cent are learning): eighty-nine per cent have bobbed hair, one hundred per cent roll their own (some neatly: others not so well). Some facts concerning the hoys arc as follows: They are extensively freckled, are great indulgers in Cubebs. chewing gum. late hours, and the other vile, dissipating things of life. Aside from all these facts there are a few certain characteristics that lead me to this sad and woeful conclusion. Tekel. One of the greatest characteristics that we do not possess is superior intelli- gence. No. that is something of which we stand in need. For example. Gerald Fitz-Gerald had to take five make-up exams in Physics before he passed the first semester’s work. And there is Irene Zack. What if I were to tell you that she made 00 on a Cicero quiz? Isn’t that astounding? And Corwin Hinton was so dumb in History that he thought that the policy of the coinage of free silver meant a grand distribution of dimes. Of course, there arc exceptions to all rules and Paul Welton is our exception. He knows everything; if you don’t believe it. ask him. He will admit it. Yes. Paul is so bright that he doesn’t even have to listen to a recitation—he sleeps. Faye Trexler might be called an exception, also, for they say he sings a powerful bass in the chorus. Ray Dvorak says that Faye can reach a C flat two octaves below middle C. Along the lines of intelli- gence we are greatly embarrassed, and only this conclusion can be drawn—Tekel. Did you ever stop to think of tin artistic appearance of our class? Tt is sadly neglected. When the beauty was passed out. we must have been away from home. There is Wilbur Knight who weighs two hundred fifty, and I’ll bet Margaret Welsh doesn’t weigh over cightv-five. They may be artistic sym- metry to some people, but it doesn’t soothe my eyes. Marriott Stevens, with his height, stands as a mocking semblance of a he-man when compared with Karl Zcch. The class has a wide variety of hair color. One couldn’t find Shirley Engle in a ripe wheat field, nor could one find Blanche Dinners, if she were picking cotton. Last, but not least, are Raymond Stoltey’s feet. Compare them with those of Arnold Prueha. You cannot doubt that this class is far from artis- tic in appearance. The conclusion is as before—Tekel. Therefore if you are not intelligent, you arc dumb. If you are not artistic in appearance, you are a deplorable misfit. From these things. I can draw only one conclusion—Tekel—or in plain English. “Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting.” ITerrick Ham,.

I walked into the office of tin I rbana High School and as .Miss Ricketts who was assistant principal at this time was not occupied in any way, we began to talk about the outcome of the graduating class. I can not explain just how it happened, but before 1 left that office I had agreed to bring to her at the end of a period of thirty years the whereabouts and the what- a bouts of every person graduating in that year. Well, the thirty long years have passed and I. after six months of laborious searching, have lx en able to locate only ninety-nine of the graduating class. The remainder 1 have placed in the “Lost. Strayed, and Stolen Column.” This is the story of the ninety-nine: Dorothy Gray has followed in the steps of her father and is now the sheriff of Champaign County. She is assisted by her two deputies, Millard McBride and Wilbur Knight, who do the work while Dorothy is the one behind the guns. Matilda Kirby is doing an enterprising business in a Graham cracker con- cern. Delmar Seward and Kenneth Vandervort now own the Colonial Theatre. Lillian Jessee sells tickets for them, and Mary Coble and Mary Bonnen are the ushers. Fifty-right 1921 (The luiBcmary Rav Stoltey is tonring foreign countries by his lawyer’s advice.

Shirley Engle, whose red hair is now streaked with gray, has succeeded M. L. Flaningam. and is principal of the 1'rbana High School. Eunice Anderson is his assistant. Mary Mallow is matron of the County Poor Farm. August Burnier is still in training. Every day lie moves coal, cement, pianos, or just anything that has lots of weight. Helen Holmes has a patent on a new way of cooking corned beef and cabbage. Josephine Miller and Richard Franks, famous vaudeville stars, are now touring Alaska. Helen Maguire, owing to a disappointment in love, is living a solitary life on the banks of the Hudson. Kenneth Keller has just finished a great engineering feat of tunneling under the Bonevard and thus connecting the Twin Cities by an underground passage. He was assisted by Eugene .Tones and Harmon McGrath. who mixed the concrete. Reha Robertson is a cook of some note. She also takes in washings. Willis Schumacher is a radio shoe fitter for Montgomery Ward Co. Paul Welton is serving a life sentence at Chester on the charge of polygamy. N’elson Spradling. Holland Patterson, Homer White. Paul Mumma. and Arnold Pruclia are noted thugs. Harvey Gray and Ralph Douthit arc living in Europe. They were married to foreign girls while participating in the Olympic games. They have never been able to raise enough money to pay passage hack to the 1’nited States. Carl Iloagland has spent the last ten years of his life trying to find a wife, or even get a date. I might say. Ilarrv Bereher is an evangelist whose fame rivals that of Billy Sunday of our day. Bernard Mosier follows tin steps of the poet Edward A. (lest—he is his valet. Guernsey Porter.

Margaret Schreiber ranks with Barney Oldfield, as a driver of racing ears. Dorothy White, whose brains stopped growing in her sixteenth year, is at the home of the feeble-minded at Lincoln. Illinois. Helen Waldo is a noted singing teacher. She gives private lessons to par- rots. Kenneth Hull has also been taking lessons from her.

Senior: Full many a legend hath been told About this hatchet, wondrous old; 1921 Sixty A ©. ft osmium 33! Full many a song has found its way From olden times to the present day. Telling whence this emblame came; And every tale 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, Than 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 white man came to dwell In ('hampaign County, histories 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 prairies here. Before Frbana was a town, They brought their people, settled down. And built their tents near Main and Race Where Palmer’s grocery grows apace. A little further down the hill There bubbled forth, their thirst to still, A spring of water clear and cold. A comfort to these warriors bold. Tis near this old historic spot That C. X. 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. He throve in spite of trials severe, While ever dangers hovered near From every hostile Indian band Who treachery against him planned. Then, when Chicagou saw at last There was no doubt, the die was cast; The 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. i ! I I 1921 - i- 'i'5• | lllu-l ii-;.rm.n u He gathered his chiefs together then And hade them bring both women and men, To meet the white man near this spring. With Indian chant ami tom-tom’s heat The ceremony was complete. They buried a hatchet as a sign of peace, And they promised all their wars to cease. And kept their word, and as time passed on ( rhana grew to be a town. The schools were formed; the high schol. 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 1’rbana High Stopped at the spring as they passed by To quench their thirst. One kicked the ground And heard a hard and ringing sound. Then they one and all would see What this amazing thing might be That, buried beneath the hard earth’s crust. Resounded thus to his gentle thrust. They dug it forth 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. Hut each class must prove its right to it Hv 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 I'pon this stage to produce their man To answer in person for his class, Before, to them, this hatchet may pass. Senior: Well, I’ll declare! As Pm alive, Do you come here from twenty-five? Do they send here, their place to fill A comic star from vaudeville? The class must he in straits quite had To send up here this stage-struck lad. He spends his time from morn till late, Attempting others to imitate. He’ll wave his arms, and then lie’ll yawn some, Thinking he is Gloria Swanson! And then he’ll swear by the stars above, That Golly! Gee! he is in love!

You must have started a year ago. Come now, own up and please confess. Doesn’t it take you all day to dress? The time she spends over that little Dutch bob Is enough to make her own mother sob. But when she goes out for a little fresh air. The wind blows it round till there’s no parting there! Through the country she can hike, For many a mile she can ride a bike; But here in town she must drive the car. For three or four blocks are awfully far. If she has an errand to do for ma. Or carry a letter down for pa! 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! I ’ll promise you Without ado. To give you a better one still. Junior: Wilbur DeForrest Knight This Knight, a mighty man is he. With strong and powerful frame— With discus and the javelin throw. He’s bound to win some fame! But his heart grew cold, This knight so bold— And he trembled from his feet to his head, When he did spy A little mouse lie In Trig, class, and knew it was dead! He shivered and shook And sought for a nook. Where his ponderous self he could hide: Till Adam so brave 'Hi f. --------,SL ’ j-.- • ;(' «Xlu-luTM-ui.n ij II is life did save, By carrying the dead thing outside! Ah, yes! deny it who can, This Knight is a wonderfully brave, fine man! Senior: Lawrence Fyffe Binyon A fat and roly-poly boy Who always overflows with joy: And when a swimming he doth go The waters of the pool o’erflow! 1I - is so fat. he cannot swim, But then, you see, he plunges in And floats upon the top, And keeps a going till he stops. When in Chicago he does roam. He doesn’t exactly feel at home. They’re always serving the strangest dishes. A name for which In constantly wishes. When the Glee Club had their feast at Stevens’. From Lawrence’s place there was no leavin’s. And when they brought his coffee cream, All foaming o’er with nice whipped cream, He looked right hard, and then he screamed. “Why they’re using salt cellars to serve ice-cream.’’ . unior: James Herrick Hall “Dear little girl, good-bye.” said he, Down in the old home town. “While in Urbana I’ll loyal be, And send you letters down!” He kept his word, and wrote each day A note or a billet doux! But when his heart began to stray. The letters were so few That the little girl in the old home town Began to fret and stew! By him she would not be turned down. For that would never do! So she wrapped his letters, seventy-one! And sent them off in haste. She would be so glad when the thing was done, Not a moment did she waste! But haste is waste, the old folks say, The letters fell apart. And one fifty-one did Herrick pay For these letters from his old sweetheart! Senior: Zackie LaFayette Martin They tell me Bedad! This tall Junior lad Has never yet had a date! That he’d rather die, £l.c Kosrmaru He’s so awfully shy. Than be forced to a tete-e-tete. He has a sweet smile, And once in a while You might really think he was coy! But if you should chance To follow his glance. You would find he had smiled at a boy! Once when the boys teased This tall lad was pleased To tell them they needn’t to bother: That he was taking a girl Into the social whirl.— But the girl he took was his mother! Junior: Irene Marie Zack By searching far you’ll never find A tinier girl with mightier mind. Her speech is mighty in debate. If only her tongue could keep things straight! The Danville boys in the last debate Were working hard to make their stake. As authority on a special stroke. Peter Robbins they did quote. When Irene’s turn for rebuttal came, She said. “I seldom question name. Or doubt a reference in debate. And. furthermore. I’d like to state To doubt your word is not my habit, But tell me, please, who is Peter Rabbit?” Senior: Raymond Walter Housh When he comes in late Just after a date, lie doesn’t turn in right away. But he takes a look At his little book To check accounts for the day. Why didn’t you know That this gallant beau Keeps account of each little Miss; Of the places he goes With the girls that he knows. And the ones he can manage to kiss? He takes pains to write In plain black and white. Whether it was awfully nice; Whether one try would do, Of if it took two. Or if he had to try thrice! Junior: Josephine Guelda Miller Another dainty little girl, uisrmaru With fluffy hair in golden curl. A helpful little Miss is she, Just as willing as can be! An hour each day, for office work She gives her time, and does not shirk. Sometimes she calls up on the phone To see why a student remained at home; But her tongue gets twisted, just as slick— To, “Can you tell me, please, why John is sick” And then with a little dainty giggle. Out of her predicament she’ll wriggle! Senior: Doris Georgia and Dorothy Prances Sciieib “Two souls with but a single thought. Two hearts that beat as one”— Is usually with meaning fraught, But here ’tis full of fun! Two girls with just a single face, The same blond fluffy hair. With just the same lithe simple grace, They make a fetching pair! But a single tongue would never serve To tell all they have to say, For all the secrets they must share Each minute of each day! When William takes out Doris And Clarence takes out Dot, How does either of them know Which the other one has got? Junior: Helen Gertrude Maguire Helen has the aspiration To obtain the admiration And the abject adoration Of all the youth within the nation! She is sure her fascination Is bound to win their adolation To put their hearts in consternation To the point of expiration. She’s always deep in contemplation How to give a demonstration How to win appreciation To cause in hearts a devastation Without embarrassing complication. Indeed she has no hesitation When it is a mere flirtation, To list? her eyes in demonstration And thus to cause intimidation, Or perhaps win his approbation. Or a little commendation, Withal, she may win admiration, But scarce, I fear, their veneration. osrmaru Senior: Clinton Theodore Oliver “A self-made man, and ,,.vad of it, too, Through the whole six feet to which he grew: In Danville, after the debate, We’ve heard them say, he stayed out late, A flirting with a girl of size, A Danville blonde, with bright blue eyes; They say she had a pleasant nap, Cuddled on his capacious lap. And. at Easter time there is a tale. He l etook himself to Carbondale. lie lingered there ’till Tuesday noon, And then ’twas hard to return so soon! You might tell us, Ted, did this charm lie In another bright blue, sparkling eye? Junior: John Guernsey Porter “If I can ride, why should I walk? If I can grunt, why should I talk? A Ford can take me where I want to go. A grunt can tell you what you need to know.” So reasons this energetic boy. Whom the least exertion doth annoy, He’s so physically lazy we have found. That it’s in spite of himself that his wheels go ’round! He uses sta-comb no more on his hair, For now he’s trying to grow curls up there; If this doesn’t work, we have heard tell. That soon he’ll be having a real marcelle! Senior: N'klle Katherine Cecelia Eileen McDonough Monstrous puffs of powder, Monstrous dabs of paint, Make a poor complexion Out of that what ain’t! Charming songs she sings us Lovely as a bird. Such a sweet and charming voice One has seldom heard. But we’d like to whisper to her.

To answer nay, To her winning way Is more than one can do. When work’s away At the end of the day She makes a plan or two: Then go she may With Paul to play,— Perhaps to bill and coo!

Senior Boys’ Athletics The class of ’24 passed out of I'rbana High, leaving a remarkable record in the way of athletics. The hoys took second place in the basketball tournament this year, thus making second place position for the third successive time. This year anyone eligible for varsity competition was allowed to play on the class teams. The senior team was composed of a classy bunch of players including Douthit. Seward. Stoltey, Mumma. Hull. Reno. Franks, and Gray. The second team consisted of Wilson. Zeck. Fitz-Gerald, Taylo, Windmiller. McBride, and Sullivan. The first team met defeat at the hands of the Sophomores in an overtime battle for the championship. It was a great game, hard fought all the way through. The Seconds came through their schedule without a defeat, thereby gaining the championship. This championship makes the third straight for the class of ’24. The Senior class is well represented on the varsity basketball squad by such men as Douthit. Seward. Stoltey, Hull. Franks, and Graham; on the football squad by such men as Graham. Douthit. Burnier. White. Mosier. Mumma. Zeck. Gray. Kirby. Hudson, and Wilson. In the tank, we are represented by Patter- son. Becker, Noble. Fitz-Gerald. Hoagland. and Newton. These boys helped show their superiority by copping the inter-class swimming meet by an over- whelming score. The Senior class track team won the inter-class track meet by collecting a total of 01 points. They had no trouble at all in winning a majority of the first places. Their nearest competition was the Sophomore team. The team con- sisted of: Douthit. Burnier. Gray, Mumma. Kirby, McGrath. Knight. McBride, Eccles. Graham, and Windmiller. Kenneth Keller. 192 1 Senior Girls’ Basketball Only eleven Senior girls reported for practice this year, but they were all willing to work and showed great interest. After several evenings of practice, the teams were chosen. For the first team, Cleo Armstrong and Faye Hutchin- son were chosen as forwards; Bernice Ferrand and Lulu Jones as guards; Xelle |)oak and Da vena Mackav as centers. The team elected Xelle Doak as captain. For the second team Helen Mackav and Gladys Bruner were chosen as forwards; Eunice Anderson and Helen Waldo as guards; Mary Douglass as center. Helen Waldo was elected captain of the second team. Finally, on November 12. the time for the tournament arrived. Three games were played almost every afternoon, promptly at three o’clock. The tournament was long and the girls had several hard battles and also several easy victories. Much credit should be given to the members of the team for their good work and especially to “Gappy” Doak for her fast floor work. From the first, the Seniors and Sophomores were rivals for the championship. First, the Sophs won from the Seniors; then, the Seniors from the Sophs: and then, in the final game, the Sophs took the championship by a score of 20-16. The second team showed good work and came out on top. with the championship. Dorothea Jenkins, ’24. Strtnfyon Senior Debate Handicapped from the beginning by a limited amount of material with which to build a team, the Senior debating prospects were rather dull. In the debate with the Juniors, on the question of “rum-running,” the judges decided that several millions of dollars should be appropriated to remedy tin evil. The Seniors had contended so all along, with tin result of the Senior victory. A long period elapsed during which the team worked on the Varsity question for the Danville debate. Strenuous work preceded the encounter with the Sophomores. However, to the satisfaction of the Seniors, it was decided that the United States should accept the Bok Peace Plan. The Seniors then modestly accepted the coveted title of (Mass Champions. It may be noticed that their influence was decidedly felt in Washington. It may be noticed, too. that the Seniors have their name on the award cup in the Trophy Case.

We gained honors again by winning the Stunt Show, our stunt being named “When Peter Blows His Horn.” Meanwhile, the boys who were aspiring towards athletics and the “U’s” were hard at work. Jacob Judy and Emmett Kirby received “IPs.” The girls, not wanting to be outdone, organized a basketball team.

We elected Richard Childers as our leader with the following officers to help him: Vice-President ..... Irene Becker Secretary ..... William Weber Treasurer - - - - - Louise Still Historian ..... Dorothy Scheib Adviser - - - - - - Miss Rompel Echo Representative .... Betty Brennan We started out by entering the inter-class debate. The team was composed of Ted Oliver, Mildred Waterbury, Alice Oathout. and llertha Bowman (Alter- nate). We didn’t do so well this year, but llertha Bowman and Ted Oliver made the Varsity Debating Team. More interest than ever was taken in athletics this year. There was a great number of Junior girls out for basketball, so. finally Miss Ililgard picked two teams. The members of the first team were: Dorothy Weber. ('.: Doris Scheib. C.; Beatrice Sloan. G.; Janet Woolbert, G.; Louise Still. G.; Minnie Means, G.; llertha Bowman. P.; and Virginia Veale, P. The second team was composed of: Edna Brash, C.; Mildred Faulkner. C.; Myra Torrence, F.; Ruth Conrad, F.; Mae Hutchinson. F.; Martha Wertz, G.; Dorothy Scheib. G.; and Margaret Schumacher, G. We came out third in the tournament. The boys’ basketball team consisted of: William Weber, G.; Zack Martin, C.; Marvin Kemp. F.; Harry Gher, F.; Glen Chapman, F.; John Mullens, G.; Ed McGrath. G. A large representation of Juniors received “UV in basketball. They were: Zack Martin, William Weber, and Ed McGrath, who was elected captain for next year. The letter men in football were: Roger Conertv, William Weber, Zack Mar- tin. and Ed McGrath. Roger Conerty was elected captain. The following were out for Track: William Weber (captain), Ted Oliver. Marvin Kemp, Jlarold Hurd, Zack Martin, Ed McGrath. Dick Childers, and Kenneth Hunt. We came out second in inter-class swimming meet. We were represented by Reid Evans (Captain), Lawrence Binvon, Lester Leutwiler, and Walter Schilling. We had a lively and interesting Stunt Show this year called “Leap Year’s Leap.” but we failed to get the decision of the judges. Willard Monohon was elected Junior Response for the Hatchet Oration. In the mid-year play we were represented by nine Juniors. Alice Oathout had the leading role in “Agatha’s Aunt.” The final event of the year was the Boys’ Stunt Show. This is the first time we ever have had a play at Urbana High School, all of the parts being taken by boys. The Juniors were represented by Raymond Housh, Willard Monohon, Zack Martin. Lester Leutwiler. Walter Schilling, and Edward McGrath who had the leading role. I think everyone can look back at the three years of our high school life with pleasure because we have been well represented in everything, especially this year. There is one more year for us. and we will all come back with higher hopes for the success of our class next year. Dorothy Scheib, ’25. Seemly 192 i Junior Boys’ Athletics The Junior class is a class that can boast of its class spirit toward athletics because it has been represented in every branch of sports this year. In September, when Coach Pulliam issued the call for football men, there were more Juniors to respond than any other classmen. This was the first chance for them to show their real ability. At the close of the season five Juniors had earned a “U.” The following are the Juniors who received a letter: Wil- liam Weber, Roger Concrty. Edward McGrath, Donald Sperry and Zack Mar- tin. There were many Juniors on the second team who did not earn a letter, but showed the true spirit by staying on the squad and taking the hard knocks furnished by the varsity. Then came the class basketball. The Juniors responded in a large number to play against the Seniors in the first game of the season, which the Seniors won by a small margin. This did not weaken their spirit and many Juniors tried out for the varsity squad. Those who made good were Kemp, Chapman. Weber, McGrath, and Martin. In the class swimming meet, many Juniors responded only to lose to the mighty Seniors. Those representing the class in the meet were the following boys: Walter Schilling, Lawrence Binyon, Edward Luker, Lester Leutwiler, and Edward McGrath. The class track meet topped off the athletic contests for classes. The Juniors did not show up very well in this sport. The class team placed last. The Junior class has all reasons to be proud of her athletes and their show- ing in the events which they entered. Thus the class of 25 passed the school year of ’23 and ’24 in athletics. Zack Martin, ’23. 1924 mm ‘Tin- u;.u u Many Junior girls responded to the call for basketball players. After sev- eral practice sessions, the following girls were selected to represent the class of ’2 ) in the girls’ basketball tournament: Virginia Yeale, Helen Veach, and Iler- tha Bowman, forwards; Doris Scheib and Dorothy Weber, centers; Beatrice Sloan. Janet Woolbert. Louise Still and Minnie Means, guards. The first two Junior games were with the Freshmen, who were defeated in both games. Then came the games with the Sophs. In the first game the Junior girls were defeated 22-21 after a very exciting game. In the second game, the Juniors dropped a very loose game to the superior Sophs. The girls were over- come in both games with the mighty Seniors. Junior Girls’ Basketball Alice Oatiiout, ’2 . i Junior Debate There was quite a large number of Juniors that tried out for debate this year. Those surviving the cut were the following: Ted Oliver Mildred Waterbury Alice Oathout Hertha Bowman (alternate) The question that the Juniors and Seniors debated on was: Resolved: That the government appropriate the sum of $30,000,000 to assist in preventing liquor smuggling. The decision of the judges was two to one in favor of the Seniors. We did not do so well in inter-class debating this year as we did last year, but we hope to do better next year, and also we are going to try to get more on the varsity team. We had a good representation on the varsity team this year. Those making the team were: Hertha Bowman. Ted Oliver, and Alice Oathout (alternate).

Leota Miller Echo Representative - - - Walter Gibson Adviser - - - - - Miss Bryan Though luck was not with us during our Freshman year, we decided to turn over a new leaf in this, our Sophomore year, and we believe we have. At the beginning of the Sophomore year we elected the following officers: President ..... Verna Dailey Vice-President ..... Ed Martin Secretary ...... Dick Huss Treasurer ..... Wayne Mann Historian ..... Leota Miller Echo Representative - - - Blanche Huffer Adviser ...... Miss Doyle In the Echo play, “Agatha’s Aunt,” four Sophomores portrayed their parta well. The parts of Deacon Wiggins, Howard Kent. Phemie Tidd, and Burton Forbes were taken by Kendell Kelly, Clarke Shobe. Catherine Burrows and Fred Picknell. In the boys’ stunt show. “Am I Intruding?” Lloyde Villars took the part of Mrs. Hastings, and Fred Shrover. that of Mona. A new enterprise, the iYiter-class Track Meet, was started. Both boys and girls entered in the event. James Coble, Everett Hundley and Dick Huss starred among the boys. Helen Gordon had the most points among the girls. The Sophomores came in second in this meet. Our class did not show up well in the swimming practice, but when the final cut was made, Reid Evans, who swims the breast-stroke, made the team. They entered several meets, including St. Louis and Chicago. The debating team, composed of Emma Jane Shepherd. Raymond Webber, and Leota Miller, with Edgar Bennett as alternate, defeated the Freshmen team two to one. The question for debate was. “Should the City of I’rbana control all Public Utilities” Miss Hilgard, the new gym instructor, issued a call for girls to come out for basketball and after several practices the following team was selected: Harriet Hadlock. C.; Betty Mitchell, F.; Katherine Veacli, F.; Blanche Huffer, ('.; Helen Gordon, C.; Blanche Wilson. G.; Nina Patterson. G. These girls placed first (The luiflcuuiru SNUSOBEUESEI! in the girls’ basketball tournament. A second team was chosen and they placed third in the second team tournament. The girls on the second team were: Leota Miller. F.; Madge Quinn. F.; Xondas Quade, F.; Thelma Markley, F.; Frances Ilowe. C.: Maxine Taborn. G.; Carrie Jane Barton. G.; Nell McAuley, G.

Those on the team were: Reid Evans, F.; Wayne Mann. G.; William Thornton. F.; Thomas Lyman, G.; William Holmes, F.; Rufus Benge. G.; Waldo Butzowe, F.; and Howard Adams, C. Each year a stunt show is given by the school, each class presenting a stunt. In this, too, the class of ’26 was victorious. The stunt, “And the Villain Still Pursues Him !” was coached by Miss Ricketts and Miss Doyle who are responsible for its success. Charles Johnson was chairman of the committee in charge, with Kendall Kelley. Blanche Huffier, Dick IIuss, Jocelyn Way, Katherine Burrows, and Wayne Mann as assistants. The first semester, we had a theatre party with Miss Doyle and Mr. Casscrly as cheperons. The second semester the class of ’26 was entertained with a party, the committee being Leota Miller, chairman; Everett Hundley, Katherine Vcach, Ray Martine. Ed Martin and Frances Blue. ’Tis a lesson you should heed; Try, try, again; If at first you donyt succeed. Try, try, again. Leota Miller, ’26. 1 Eighty At 1924 Sophomore Boys’ Athletics Last year as Freshmen, we did not do well, but we did not give up the hope of having a good record this year. As we hoped, the class came through in fine fashion. This year we have a record of which any class should l e proud. First, we were well represented in football. Frank Walker got into enough games to earn a letter, while the others were on the second team. Next, came the Girls’ Basketball Tournament, in which the Sophomores took the championship. The Boys’ Basketball Tournament was next in line. The boys, not to be beaten by the girls, trimmed the Seniors in the final game, thereby becoming class cham- pions. Those on the team were Evans (Capt.). Adams, Thornton, Mann, Benge, I White, Lyman, and But .ow. The second team did not do as well. They placed in the tournament. The second team consisted of Huss (Capt.), Villars, Blue, Martin, McCIoskv, Danley, and Harris. Much credit must be given Evans, be- cause it was bis hard work that brought his team the victory. In the Inter-class Swimming Meet, we placed third. The boys representing the Sophomores were Shroyer (Capt.), Evans, and Mann. Evans represented the class on the varsity swimming team. On the varsity basketball squad Adams, Benge, Evans, and Thornton represented the class. In the Inter-class Track Meet the Sophomore team placed second. The team collected 70 points. The boys did the best they could trying to beat the mighty Seniors. The outstanding boys on the team were Adams, Walker, Coble, and Hundley. The class of ’26 has great hopes for next year. Wayne Mann, ’26. ! y. lil Sophomore Girls’ Basketball So many girls tried out for the Sophomore basketball team that the selection of the first and second teams was very difficult; but, after careful inspection, the teams were picked. Blanche Wilson, guard; Nina Patterson, guard: Blanche Buffer, center; Helen Gordon, center: Betty Mitchell, forward; Kathryn Veaeh. forward; and Harriett Hadlock ((’apt.), forward, constituted the first team. The second team was composed of: Leota Miller ((’apt.), forward; Madge Quinn, forward; Xondas Quade. forward: Frances Howe, center: Thelma Mark- ley, center: Maxine Taborn, guard; and Carrie Jane Barton, guard. When the schedule of the tournament games was completed, the Seniors and the Sophomores tied for first place. A game was played to decide who were champions and the Sophomores came out ahead with a score of 20-16. The Soph- omore second team placed third in the second team tournament. The highest tribute that can be paid to any team is that the members are good sportsmen. The rules of sportsmanship could not have been displayed any better than by the girls in this tournament. Miss Hilgard taught us the art of the game. Harriett Hadlock, ’26. 192-1 Sophomore Debate In debating, as in other school activities, the Sophomore class has again proved its worth. The team, composed of Leota Miller. Emma Jane Shepherd. Raymond Webber, with Edgar Benette as alternate, met the Freshmen in the first debate of the year. The question was: Resolved, That the city of Urbana should own and control its public utilities. The Sophomores upheld the affirm- ative. Although the Freshmen arguments were excellent, the decision was two to one in favor of the Sophomores. As a result of the Junior-Senior debate and the Freshmen-Sophomore de- bate, the Sophomores met the Seniors in the final debate of the year. The class of ’26 took the negative of the question: Resolved, That the United States accept the Bok Peace Plan. The Sophomores did some fine debating, but the Seniors deserved the two to one victory awarded them. The Seniors were the winners, but the Sophomores were good losers, as always.

We were not a large class in any way. and the upperclassmen viewed us with a be- coming scorn. To this day I remember the half-amused, half-scornful expression on the faces of some of my Junior friends as they sighted the green, little “new-jays.” Stately Seniors, looking down from the heights of infinite superiority, in age and wisdom, stroked their beards and made remarks about “robbing the cradle.” Sophisticated “Sophs,” with that same tenderness and regard for our welfare that Sophs have ever, from old Stone Age days, shown to Freshmen, chastised us and saw to it that we walked in the straight and narrow path. We might say, with apologies, to Mr. Tennyson, that we felt like this: Juniors to right of them. Seniors to left of them. Sophies before them. Laughed as they blundered. But we survived all these kindly and well-meant little attentions, and now look back with pride upon an honorable record. We elected the following officers for our freshman vear: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Historian Echo Representative Class Adviser Loren Judy Henry Schumacher Gladys Freeman Joe Williamson Mary Carson Fred Oathout Mrs. Smothers Basketball was the first Freshman athletic interest. The girls’ team, or- ganized by Miss Hilgard, consisted of Edna Polk (Capt.), F.; Dorothy Green, F.; Ellen Horn. F.; Lillian Wilson, C.; Ruth Bresee. C. Marguerite Stevens, Mary (’arson, and Ruth Locke served as substitutes. The boys’ team was composed of Joe Walker (Capt.); George Fallon. Dick Mitchell, Clarence Breckenridge, Wyman Eccles, Henry Schumacher. Howard White, and Charles McNcven. Our debating team was made up of Robert Shurtz. Milton Dewey, Mary (’arson, and Ralph Porter (alternate). Although they lost to the Sophomores, Milton Dewey won a place on the varsity debating team, a feat seldom accom- plished by a freshman. Ninrtytwo 1924 G= ly xV- u in- JEUmkuuutq M v'L EE___ZS3D Our class stunt was a clever little pantomime, entitled, “Why the Desert is Dry.” While it evidently pleased the audience, it lost the decision to the Sophomores. Our class party was very successful. It was planned by Mrs. Smothers, Miss McClurg, and Miss Hilgard. In the Inter-class Swimming Meet we captured five points, tying with the Sophomores for third place. Four of them were made by Joe Williamson, the fifth by our relay team, which won third place. In the Inter-class Track Meet, which was for both girls and boys, we placed third, bringing in thirty-two points. The girls made twenty-nine of these. After a year spent under the uplifting influence of the upperclassmen, our childish greenness has fled. Next year, our apprenticeship served, we shall enter as Sophomores. It is not without regret, however, that we leave behind us our Freshman year, a year so full of fun, companionship, and hard-earned achievement. Mary Carson, ’27. Freshman Boys’ Athletics lUI The class of 27 did not do much its first year, as usual for a Freshman class. The boys were represented in the hoys’ basketball tournament, but they did not win any trames. The class does not give up the hope of having a better record Bncxt year. This year’s team consisted of Captain Joe Walker, George Fallon, Charles McNevin, Henry Schumacher, Dick Mitchell, Wyman Ecclex, Howard White, and Clarence Breckenridge. The second team consisted of Charles Brannock (Captain), Justa Kuebler, Louis Douglass. Robert Roberts, Lloyde H Cole, Floyd Pearson, Conrad Hensley and Arnold Nichols. The second team placed third in the tournament. We were represented on the varsity squad by Charles McNevin. The swim- ming team placed last in the inter-class meet, but this does not tell the value of the boys as swimmers. They are expected to develop into some mighlv fine swimmers before they leave Urbana High. The class track team won third place in the inter-class meet. The only boy to score was Dunkle. The other points were collected by girls. The team scored 31 points. Howard White, ’27. a I Freshman Girls’ Basketball Although the Freshmen basketball team did not make such a good showing in the tournament this year it was not because of lack of zeal or hard work, but simply a lack of experience. The first team was composed of the following: Forwards, Edna Polk (cap- tain), Dorothy Green, Ellen Horn: centers, Lillian Wilson, Ruth Bresee; guards. Marguerite Stevens, Mary Carson, Ruth Locke. Those composing the second team were: Forwards. Grace Bechtold (captain), Marie Anderson, Cathryn Colvin. Ethel Royer: center. Byne Lohman; guard. Louise Coffman. With the aid of this year’s experience and hard work in next season’s prac- tice. high hopes are entertained of being the tournament winners of next year. Dorothy Greex, ’27. I i Freshman Debate The subject for this year’s tryout for the class debating teams was as fol- lows: Resolved, That 1'rbana High School adopt the plan of classifying its pupils according to the individual ability of each. Freshman interest ran high, and more than a score of Freshmen entered the tryouts. From these, Robert Shurtz, Milton Dewey, Mary Carson, and Ralph Porter (alternate) were chosen to represent the class of ’27. The two teams, Sophomores and Freshmen, decided upon the following sub- ject for their debate: Resolved. That Urbana own and control all of its public utilities. The Freshmen took the negative side of this question. Two weeks of hard work followed, during which time our unhappy repre- sentatives tramped the streets in search of material, and sat up into the wee small hours trying to put it into intelligent English. The debate was held be- fore an audience made up largely of Freshmen who backed their team valiantly. However, although our arguments were more logical than theirs, the Sophomore delivery was smoother. Our opponents presented their arguments in a very convincing manner, and the debate resulted in a two to one vote, favoring them. Hut in the varsity tryouts we were partially revenged. One of our Fresh- men. Milton Dewey, made the varsity team, while the Sophomores had no varsity debaters. We hope to do much more next year to prove that we have profited by our defeat. Mary Carson, ’27. 1924 =3 IE10H (Dic luisrmaru The Hermit E had been at King Hill House, in the foothills of the White Mountains, just two days, when some one told us the “Hermit’s” story. It stuck in my mind, somehow, and I resolved to see this “Hermit” before 1 left, as was customary for every tourist who stopped at King Hill House. They always returned with a huge bunch of gladiolas and a cleverly fashioned birch-bark cup, but each one admitted that he was a little disappointed in the man himself. Where they had expected to find a tall, sad-eyed, mystical man who loved the solitude of his little home, they found a very common-place, little man, who very plainly enjoyed human com- panionship. The “Hermit’s” love affair did not seem to trouble him a great deal. A few days after my arrival, as I was wandering along the deserted, grass- grown road which led to the “Hermit’s Cottage,” I found myself in sight of the cottage itself. It was a plain, square, unpainted house, set back in an old apple orchard. In front, all around the house, in fact, were the famous gladiolas. In spite of the general air of dilapidation, the little house, greyed and mellowed with age. was very picturesque in its setting of flowers. Mr. Wiley, “The Her- mit,” was nowhere in sight, hut I was thirsty, so I decided to satisfy both my thirst and curiosity in the tourist-worn way—by asking for a drink. In answer to my knock, a short, rather stout, and very “unhermitlike” man appeared in the doorway. His overalls were old, but very neat, and his round face fairly beamed. He insisted that I come in and rest, before starting on my long walk home, and ushered me into a cool, darkened room. While he went for a drink I had a chance to look around the room. It was spotlessly clean and neat, but there was a queer jumble of furniture and bric-a-brac in it. In one corner was an old organ, a graphaphone, and a queer contrivance fastened to the organ near the pedals. I learned later that this was a drum. Just then Mr. Wiley entered with a birch-bark cup full of spring water. He was used to these visits from tourists, which pleased him very much, and no one left without hearing his con- cert. or taking his little “souvenir cup” and the gladiolas. Noticing my interest in his musical contrivance, he asked hesitatingly if I would like to hear him play. I assented eagerly, so he seated himself at the organ, explaining that the Epis- copal Church had given it to him when they got a new one. The concert con- sisted of a number of old pieces played on the organ, graphaphone, mouth organ, and drums—all at the same time. In spite of the poor instruments it was very novel and entertaining, and the sun had begun to set when I rose to go. Mr. Wiley walked to the gate with me, and asked me to call again. I reached King Hill with the same sense of disappointment the others had felt, and yet the mixture of the romantic and the ridiculous in Mr. Wiley’s story, is characteristic of him. This is the story as I heard it at King Hill House: About twenty-five years before, John Wiley had come to the neighboring village of New London. He had come from Concord, to live on the small farm he had inherited at the recent death of his uncle. About the first thing he did was to fall in love with Mary Alice Todd, and they became engaged within three months. Many people shook their heads, and expressed surprise at Mary Alice’s choice. Her best friend, surprised that anyone as practical and fastidious could fall in love with shiftless, but handsome, Mr. Wiley, asked cautiously if they would live in the run-down house that he had been willed. Miss Todd replied, with some heat: “Oh, I know the house is in awful condition, and that John is shiftless, and .Vfnrfy- tvn iOOElZSSOISNS $h IWmarii smokes, and lives a hand-to-mouth existence, but this spring we are going to repair the house, and after we are married John will drop all of his bad habits— he promised me he would.” True to Mary Alice’s prediction, in the spring John started to repair the house, under Mary Alice’s supervision, and by May, it was quite presentable. The wedding was to take place in June, so it happened that one afternoon, a week before the wedding, John and Mary Alice drove out to their new home to give it a few finishing touches. They stood together in the guest room, looking at Mary Alice’s beautiful hand-made bedspread. John absently drew out his pipe and knocked it against his hand. A sharp cry made him turn to find that the ashes from his pipe had made a dark smudge on the spotless counterpane. Mary Alice’s lips were drawn together in a straight line. “Remember, John.” she said, “When we are married you will give up smok- ing. 1 can’t stand the smell of tobacco in the house, and besides, it’s a filthy habit.” “Why Mary Alice, I’ve always smoked.” said John, amused that his care- lessly-given promise should be taken so seriously. “A man can’t give it up as easily as that.” The amusement in his voice annoyed Miss Todd, and she an- swered coldly: “ I’ve always said no husband of mine could smoke in the house.” The matter was dropped here, and Mary Alice went down to the kitchen to attend to some things she had left till the last minute. John was vaguely troubled by the little clash, and wandered into the parlor. He regarded with pride the wide fireplace he had built himself of the beautiful quartz rocks which lie had found in the mountains. Above it was a wide mantle, filled with heir- looms and other ornaments. Mary Alice was very proud of this mantle and its display, and had dusted it carefully, just that afternoon. Hearing her voice calling him to the kitchen, and remembering her aversion for his pipe. John placed it on the mantle and hurried out. Returning fifteen minutes later, on iheir final rounds before closing, they stopped to admire the sunset from the bay window. “I smell something burning. I”—Mary Alice drew in her breath sharply and hurried over to the mantle. There on the shining white surface was a long, black scar from John’s pipe. She caught up the pipe, turned quickly, and con- fronted the amazed John, furiously: “Here we both are, John Wiley. You may take your choice.” “I think,” said John after a moment’s thought. “I think I’ll take the pipe.” And that is why John Wiley came by his title. By all rules for hermits he should be languishing in solitude, but John is very practical, and prefers to live in his little cottage, and collect an exorbitant rent of the house he fixed up for his bride. An artist from Boston has fallen in love with the fireplace and the wonderful view from the bay window. Mary Coble, ’24. -----0 lu -■n:i::nj . :JJ y .

Autumn Autumn winds are spreading A carpet of sombre hue O’er the woods and meadows. And turning to frost, the dew. The saucy squirrels are hiding In the hollows of all the trees; The nuts come rattling downward At the touch of every breeze. The birds are flitting southward. To fairer lands than ours. Where the woods are always green And carpeted with flowers. The blackbirds, with their chatter. Are bidding us good-bye. For they, too, soon will leave us. To seek a summer sky. The rabbits, too. are frisking About in wildest glee. Forgetting for the moment His fear of you and me. Soon winter will spread a white blanket O’er hill, and vale, and glen. To hide away the flowers To bloom again in spring. Ruth White, ’26. Sammy’s First Love I i 1 A.M.MY was in love! Yes in love! And—strange to relate it wasn’t spring—it was fall! Her name was Sophy, oh, how wonderful, and she lived on the farm next to his. Their first meeting was at a country dance. After they had been introduced he stood awkwardly on one leg. Somehow after the music started he felt compelled to ask her to dance. Now. Sammy had never danced a step in his life, so. when he heard his own voice, feebly saying. “Oh-oh say. may I have the—the honor—of the pleasure—of v-your company for this d-d-dance?” he was so frightened he almost ran away. She gave what seemed to him a beauteous smile and accepted. Sammy swung out valiantly into the throng, humping this way and that. He saw the smile on his beloved’s face suddenly fade. Suddenly his feet seemed to become the largest and most prominent part of his body. When they weren’t being stepped on they were stepping on someone else’s. Hv this time his dear Sophy gave up in despair. “Don’t you think we’d better sit out the rest of this dance?” she gasped. The suggestion was welcome; his feet ached too miser- ably to go on. Then they went out on the porch. He didn’t remember anything later ex- cept his adored one’s talking and his nodding assent. To Sammy she was an angel—straight out of heaven. Then as a crowning honor of the evening (he thought), she let him bring her some ice. All went well with Sammy till he reached Sophy again; then, just as he stood before her his hand slipped and mortification upon humiliation; down went the ice all over his clothing. This was too much for Sophy. She stuffed her handkerchief in her mouth to keep from laughing and swung off with another partner into the dance again. Poor Sammy, but then—you know how it is—he was in love! After he had his clothing cleaned he was ready to start home. Just then Sophy came through the door. Sammy never knew just what he said, but he did know that she had made him happy again by consenting to let him take her home. The walk was a silent one. Sammy didn’t know what to say. Then just as they went by him home he heard his mother’s voice, “Sam-mule, you come in this instant, your pa wants to see you!” Poor Sammy. lie hesitated a moment and then fled in gloriously from the field. But even that could not quench his affection! For Sammy was in love! Catiiryn Colvin, ’27. na(Thrluiarninru SSBEBI Ode to Mah Jon£g, I’ve lost in the frame of marbles. I’ve lost in a game of golf.

(Tin' luiscmaru i hsesb: Pedro’s Release HE prisons of Spain in the fifteenth century were dark, dismal places. Doubly so they seemed to Pedro. Poor Pedro! Honest Pedro! To sit in a damp, dark dungeon, day after day for many months is not delightful. Why was he there? Why, indeed? For stealing, stealing Signor Carlo’s precious silks and teas, said the magistrate. Stealing! Pedro! Pedro who never even took a feather from a chicken’s tail without first asking for it. Impossible indeed. But there he was. Ugh! Rats, mice, slime, and dripping water in a dim cell are not pleasant, at all. Now why was Pedro there? The real reason was not told him. In fact it was told no one. But let me whisper. Pedro loved the pretty Serafina, loveliest of all the Signoras of Palos. So did Signor Carlo. Pedro was handsome, his hair was black and thick, and his teeth were so white and even that his smile captivated the ladies before they even saw his laughing eyes. Signor Carlo was not at all handsome...His hair was thinning, and his teeth were not all there. Also Signor Carlo had influence and poor Pedro did not. So it was very easy for Signor Carlo to dispose of his dangerous rival. The only human face that Pedro had seen was that of his young gaoler when he brought the daily portion of bread, water and decayed bananas. So by now Pedro was nearly dead of bad food, bad light, and bad air. for in those days no employment was offered to prisoners; they were just cast in a dungeon and kept there until their minds became vacant and they even forgot their names and I 1 why they were imprisoned. Suddenly, one day. release came to Pedro in a strange way. As he lay on the straw in his cell, Pedro heard footsteps in the corridor. They stopped at his door, and as he raised himself to a standing posture, three men entered, one was the gaoler, one was Signor Carlo, and the last, a tall, oldish, plainly dressed man. who seemed to quietly dominate the little group. “Well,” said the gaoler, good-naturedly. “I have brought you visitors.” “So I perceive,” said Pedro, with a meaning glance at Carlo, “visitors, but not friends.” “Do not say that,” exclaimed Carlo. “I am the l est friend you have, for I have come to pardon you and release you from prison.” Pedro started, opened his mouth to speak, but the gaoler interposed. “To get you out of prison truly! To get you into a worse fate still. Why this man. this stranger, would take you away—” “Silence,” stormed Carlo, “you miserable wretch, you have lived with vermin so long you have become like one yourself! Bet this gentleman speak for himself.” He turned to the stranger who had remained quietly at ease near the door, and indicated with a gracious gesture, that he had permission to speak. The stranger smiled and then stated his case clearly. “ I am Christopher Columbus,” he said. “I am starting on a journey to find a new path to the Indies through the Atlantic. But 1 cannot find men who are willing to trust themselves on such a perilous journey. If you dare come, you will be released from prison and the charge against you canceled. There are plenty of dangers, though not of the kind you would think. Tf you agree, by tomorrow afternoon you will have been released and we will start immediately.” Pedro laughed. “Signor.” he said. “I will do anything rather than rot in this hole. Yes. even to the edge of the world, I would go.” “Ah Holy Mother!” exclaimed the gaoler, “you do not know what you I I Ixnsnuaru I I sav! Think, the monsters, the sea-serpents, the whirl-pools, the loadstone moun- tain! Why you might even fall off the edge of the world!” Columbus smiled; “I believe that this world is round.” he explained. “Round! Oh Holiest of Mothers! Do not go. Pedro! Do not go! You will fall off the moment you become upside down. Better to stay in prison, securely placed, than to go flying in space!” “No,” Pedro said, firmly; “I shall go. I will be ready tomorrow.” Carlo and Columbus seemed satisfied and they turned and left. But Pedro plucked the gaoler’s sleeve and detained him. “Do you know Signora Serafina. the pretty one?” he inquired, eagerly. “No, I do not. But—” seeing the disappointment on Pedro’s face, “my sister is her friend.” “Oh. then,” cried Pedro, “will you tell her to tell Serafina that I am to be liberated, and will leave gaol tomorrow afternoon? And tell her—no, don’t tell her anything else. If she loves me she will do what I wish without the asking.” And, promising, the gaoler left. Not one wink did Pedro sleep that night. Over and over in his brain these words sang themselves, “Tomorrow I am free, tomorrow I shall sec Serafina.” Then always he would add “Maybe.” • ••••• I I Would he never get out ? The passage had seemed very short when he was led to his cell, but now it was endless! Oh. light! Light so bright that he was dazzled and could not see for many minutes. Then gradually his eyes grew accustomed to the brilliance and he eagerly glanced around. Yes! there was Serafina. but beside her chaperon was Signor Carlo, and he was talking so fast that even if Serafina had looked his way. she could have made no sign of recog- nition. Pedro took a step towards her, when, “Get into line. you. and march,” from the overseer, reminded him that he was not free until he was on shipboard— such freedom!—and with a heavy heart he trudged along with the other pris- oners. And so he was on the ship in the harbor, free, indeed, but no word with Serafina. The anchor was lifting and he stared hopelessly back at the crowd on the dock. Suddenly his spine stiffened. Surely, surely that was Serafina’s red mantle! Serafina without a chaperon on the dock. Had she dared? Yes, she was lifting her hand in a gesture of farewell. Pedro snatched his hat from his head and swung it high. “Wati for me, wait until I come,” he called, but the anchor was up and lie could not go back. But, as if she had heard and understood. Serafina threw back her head and waved her kerchief to him as her promise to wait for him until his voyage was ended. And Pedro, with heart racing madly, turned and faced the 1'nknown.

On Hundred Four Memoirs of a Menu Card i flap my covers and smile within my hack when I think of those dear old bygone days.

I am holding my breath, or rather, my leaves, fearing that I shall he in the next shovelful that goes in the huge furnace. I was the best-looking menu card in the Elite—at least I thought I was. be- cause. for what other reasons was my table occupied constantly, than to be able to use such a clean, neat menu card? In fact, they liked me so well that two hands rushed for me and they always lingered (of course the two hands did not belong to the same person). I suppose that was why my corner was called “lover’s nook.” As I think of those days it recalls to me that little incident which was so funny, yet so pathetic. A young man was taking his young lady friend, evi- dently for the first time, to get her an after-show treat. This was no ordinary young man. but one of distinctly characteristic.features. His handsome (?) face was covered with beautiful freckles, stretching north to south, bounded on the east by one ear and on the west by the other ear. 11 is Titian hair should have been the envy of any red-hair craver. Of course it was tightly plastered with vaseline or axel grease, so as to be in style. His suit evidently had been in his grandfather’s trunk for the past two generations, wrinkles and all. Of course the girl had bobbed hair, stringy, tan, morbid-looking hair which matched the rest of her. This Harold and Lillums entered, and 1 noticed the hero ap- peared rather nervous, but did not dream he had but twenty-eight cents in his pocket. He grabbed me before his lady could attempt it and. glancing over me. a ghastly look spread over his face because there he read : Sodas. 20c. He didn’t have enough money ! “I-I-it’s awful cold—ain’t it ? It’s too cold for ice cream —let’s get some candy.” Accordingly he grabbed his girl by the wrist and rushed out. stopping only long enough to purchase two '0’Charleys as the even- ing treat. Thieves entered the shop one evening. I thought that they would certainly get me, but I suppose they didn’t see me. as I crawled back in behind the mus- tard jar. I just thought, when they found me stolen, what would the proprietor say? But I guess he was relieved when he found me in my usual place, and didn’t feel so badly about the robbery after all. All that was stolen was about five hundred dollars worth of candy, two hundred from the cash register, all the silverware, and a broken plateglass window. I once overheard a discussion between two school teachers at I'rbana High School, whose names I learned were J. B. Casserlv and Miss Johnson. They were arguing radically upon the advisability of fastening their radio sets on the sugar bowl during the meal in order to get better music. Mr. Casserlv said that sugar did not conduct electricity, therefore it would not be electrified, making it unfit for human constitution; while “Bobby.” as he called her. argued that the set should be placed on the dessert dish in order that the jello would become hypnotized, and be more stationary.

I could tell many other funny experiences; when a fire broke out and singed my corners; when the country people came in and asked for soda water; when the President honored me with his presence, but I hear the fireman coming—my end has come. The King was asleep. Anyone with half an eye could tell that, for he snored loudly and blew through his whiskers. While his attendants were playing Ma Jongg in the banquet hall, a guard came in and reported that someone had stolen an apple off the King’s fine cherry tree. around the tree, but the guards always fell asleep, and the robbery was con- tinued. The court was in a great turmoil. Anyone could tell that l)ecause no one slept and even the royal mice quit pilfering cheese out of the mouse traps. The King himself soon decided that he himself would keep guard over the under the tree. Just as the clock struck ten minutes to three and the night wachman was dozing off for the third time, a bird came up and stole an apple right off the tree. “Hold. Knave.” screamed the King, “or I shall send a bolt from my cross bow clear through you.” The bird didn’t stop and the king let drive a bolt from his crossbow, killing the bird, and from then on no midnight robberies were carried on and the apples would still be growing on the cherry tree if this had been a true story.

It was in the dead of winter, and the Northern Lights flared and flickered, casting their gleams and shadows across a frozen world; in mockery it seemed, of Life. All was silent on the white waste, nothing moved, nothing breathed, apparently, nothing lived, and it was eold—cold, hitter cold. And silence, a silence that could almost 'he heard, were there, hut ears to hear it, and here far out into the frozen barrens, no life moved. But under the snow and rocks of a jumbled rock-heap slept Xoko, the great white killer of the North. In his sleep he stirred restlessly, grunting like a discontented pig. for he was hungry. lie soon dozed off again, for he knew that it would he at least two more months before Spring came. He slept a scant two hours, and awoke with a gnawing hunger in his vitals. Xoko’s hunger was not that of a healthy appetite, but of a starved body for food. The preceding fall, hunting had been poor, and in all his endeavors he managed only to gain an inch or less of fat under his white, shaggy hide. His once massive, three hundred pound body had dwindled, in his sleep, to a scarce two hundred and twenty-five pounds of muscle, hones and hide. Old Xoko was lean, thin and the blood just glittered in his small, pale, yellow eyes. Further sleep was impossible and Xoko yearned to pace again his silent, frozen domain, to feel again in his mouth warm flesh and blood he yearned again to drive his teeth through hide and hone of an adversary. And so. with a mighty upheaval of snow and rocks. Xoko burst out of his lair into the frozen upper world and under the rose, saffron, golden mockery of the lights. With a satisfied, yet hungry grunt, he immediately set off in the long swinging lope of the great Northern bear. To an observer, his lurching progress would have seemed aim- less. hut wise, crafty old Xoko knew his business. He headed for the partial protection of a bluff, where he knew that the snowshoe rabbits wintered. Sud- denly the snow before his eyes seemed to explode as a frightened rabbit ven- tured his liberty. With a lightning slash of an iron-clad forepaw, the flying rabbit was struck to the snow. Three other rabbits, in quick succession follow the fate of the first. Mere mouthfuls, serving to whet his already gigantic ap- petite the more. Xoko needed big game, for what are four three-pound rabbits to a polar hear So with the thought of seal, or perhaps a young walrus, in his small and evil mind, lie turned toward the jumbled ice heaps and floes nearer the sea. Three hours or more he scoured silently the wastes, floating like a wraith through the mist of the beach edge. Again the lights flared in rose, saffron, golden mockery of life and Xoko crouched out of view in the revealing light. Suddenly he stiffened, immoveable as the ice block against which he pressed; and indeed, nearly invisible hut for the black of his nose and ears, lln- warringly his nose had told him “waurus—and upwind”—and so he slunk into a stalking position and slowly crept up nearer the walrus herd. When the scent grew stronger he apparently became invisible, but was in reality swiftly working along a hummock, and was soon in full view of the herd. - Lying about near the sea were a score or more of walruses, about half of whom were cows, several young calves and one old, grizzled hull walrus. Xoko especially noted lying just on the other side of the hull an “early” calf. fat. oversized and un- wieldy: and this was the selected victim of Xoko. the killer. Slowly, lugubri- ously. unaware of the peril, the great hull moved into the sea and started to swim about. A second passed—two second, three, and then like an arrow un- loosed from a how. Xoko shot down on the peaceful scene. He dealt the calf a One IIu ndrrtl High! 1924 Cl-----ill . I lightning blow and whirled to carry him off. With a pitiful, almost human cry. the calf straightened out in a death agony. Even as the hear turned he felt more than saw the towering hulk of the avenging mother hanging over him. His lightning spring to one side got him far enough out from under to avoid being crushed, but two of his toes were lost in her lunge. With a snarl he turned and drove his teeth deep into the mother’s throat. Xoko cast off the maddened walrus and again seized the dead calf in his jaws, lie knew that once up the slope he could laugh at the avenging herd. But he had not reckoned with the giant bull, which lunged at him with a squeal of anger. The hear again loosed the calf and turned to flee, but too late. The two combatants instantly locked in a deadly grip and rolled down the slope. The ponderous weight and gigantic strength of the great bull was nearly offset by the agility of the bear and the outcome was in doubt for a space, nearer they fought to the edge of the ice— nearer, until the bear and walrus both disappeared over the edge, into the icy sea. The water became stained a ruddy red. and bloody bubbles rose and burst on the surface. Out of the turmoil first came the head of the walrus—then of the bear, until they sank again. A minute passed—another—and out of the red water rose the battered head of the old bull. Dragging himself unperturbed out of the water, he shook himself and with a few short grunts he called the herd together again. Looking with distaste at the bloody spot of beach, the herd moved farther down the beach and again took up their peaceful habits. Again silence reigned on the scene of the double tragedy, broken only by the sobbing squeals of the anguished mother mourning over her dead calf. Over it all the lights flared, rose, saffron and orange, in mockery of Life. I i Raymond Webber, ’26. ? i That’s Me All pep gone. Just a-feelin’ dead. Blister on my toe. Achin’ in my head— That’s me!

(E hi' luisrniary 1 The Platinum Cuff Links OLLIX Elerton pushed open the door, threw a rain-spattered coat at his man. and with a muttered, “(Jet out of here till I call,” he strode in to his library. It was a room to delight a man, no matter who or what he was, but to Elerton it had always been an inspiration. It was here that he had written those plays which had made him famous, here from his pen had come the famous “Elerton Humour.” the plays that everyone had laughed at, cried over and loved. Tonight it only helped to increase his sense of failure. With a restless movement he crossed to the window and looked out. Far below shone the lights of the city, almost obliterated by the storm. The wind howled about, blowing sheets of rain at the window. Lightning and thunder vied with one another to attract attention. Impatiently, he turned away. Even a storm did not fit his mood tonigh. The lightning, the thunder, seemed to him like his acquainances, each trying to outdo the other. It all served to increase his worry. lie hurried over to his desk and began to write furiously. Page after page he started, only to throw them aside. Finally, with a hopeless feeling of loss he tossed aside his pen and picked up a newspaper. There it was: “(’. L. Elerton’s latest play, ‘Near Here.’ is a hopeless failure. In it is none of the human touch, the humour which the theatre-going public thinks of in connection with Elerton. Instead we find irony and cynicism at its worst. We had hoped for much from Elerton, but he is seemingly losing his power.” Was it perhaps the truth, what the critics said? He had known of others, failures they were called; an artist friend whose pictures had lost value, a singer who no longer attracted, but for him, C. L. Elerton, the noted young play write to—but no! It was impossible. Morning came at last, and spring. Collin Ellerton, depressed, down- hearted. after a sleepless night, walked listlessly about the park, now in one place, now another, thinking, wishing, longing for an idea. When at length, he returned to his apartment, it was Perkins who called his attention to his miss- ing cuff link. “What—oh, ves—it is gone, isn’t it ? Well, too bad!” “But. sir. you might advertise, if you’ll pardon my suggestion.” “Too much trouble. But sav. you might after all. I)ad always told me to keep the things for luck. ‘The Lucky Platinum Links.’ he called ’em. though it’s not much luck they’ve brought me.” On the same day a girl walked in the park, a girl from the part of the city where you could get a “third floor back” for three dollars a week. A girl dif- ferent from the scores of others that thronged the paths in that she was a play- write—a play write whose plays had not yet reached the public. True there had been a word of encouragement on the blue slip which had come back with the latest one. “Miss Ruth Arthurs.” it read, “Ideas are excellent, but are not in a form which would put a play across. Keep on with your work.” Encouragement, yes, hut one cannot live on encouragement! Keep on with her work—with three dollars and ten cents in her purse and her room rent due! She was walking down her favorite path in the park when something bright attracted her attention. She picked it up. A cuff link! With a little sigh she started to toss it aside when the weird design on it caught her eye. Examining it more closely she found on it the letters, F. L. E. Perhaps the thing had some One Hundred Ten g—— ■------------ 192 1 ! I I I II i (The Ixosrmnnj 5MSO-SS value. She stuffed it in her purse and walked on. After a time she unfolded the paper she was carrying and turned to the “Help Wanted” section. Her plays would not sell, some kind of work was necessary. “Wanted—Stenographer: Must have at least two years’ experience.” “Help wanted—Expert saleswomen, who can furnish recommendations.” Her glance wandered. “Lost—A platinum cuff link. Initials F. L. E. Call, Riverside .1246.” A man’s voice answered her call. “Riverside 3246.” “Is this the man who lost the platinum cuff link?” she inquired. “Just a minute, ma’m,”came the answer. After a silence—“Hello. You say you’ve found my cuff link?” “ I ’ve found a cuff link.” she amended. “With F. L. E. on it?” “Yes.” “And may I meet you somewhere and identify it ?” So. later, after an unsatisfactory interview with his producer. Elerton drove up to a tea room in order to secure his “Lucky Link.” Inside he glanced about a woman with her small daughter, a group of girls, an old man—then in a far corner lie saw the girl who must have his cuff link. As he walked toward her lie noticed not her shabby suit, but the good-natured twinkle in her blue eyes. “You’re the girl who called this morning?” “Yes, I am Ruth Arthurs.” “And 1 am Collin Elerton,” lie said, as he seated himself. “Not the great ('. L. Elerton!” “Yes, why not” “I always thought he was a very old mail. Why it’s been my ambition for a long time to write as he does.” “You wish to write then?” inquired Elerton, with a smile. He knew only too well these ambitious young authors without even an imagination. As the girl talked, however, his smile changed to a look of astonishment. This girl was, unconsciously, giving him ideas such as he had used in his best plays. Her conversation was full of humour, clever little things that came to her speech naturally and easily. Suddenly he leaned forward. “You say you wish to write? Let me give you a plan of mine.” It was a rainy evening almost three months later. Elerton pushed open the door, threw a rain-spattered coat at Perkins, and with a good-natured “(Jet out of here. Perkins!” he hurried in to his library. Going over to his desk, he picked up a paper. “This new play. “Home Again.” by (’. L. Elerton and Ruth Arthurs, is a big thing. In it, Elerton comes back to us again, but with a newer and even better plot than ever before, a thing that we scarcely believed would happen. Everyone is glad to be able to again class Elerton as one of the most enjoyable authors of the day.” He turned a few pages of the paper and paused to glance over a column. There it was: “—at that time, the engagement of Miss Ruth Arthurs and Collin Elerton. co-authors of the new play, ‘Home Again’,” was announced. Elerton put out a hand and took something from his desk. For a long time lie stood looking down at it. a slow smile on his face. It was a platinum cuff link.

In the yard of the Grand Amalgamated Winter Quarters the parade wagons huddled in groups of tlyee around the paint-house waiting to be painted. Against the menagerie house lay layers of steel, tossed there until the return of the circus. The cages and doors of the wagons were wait- ing to be repaired. The door of the blacksmith shop opened and a man hurried out. his coat col- lar turned up about his neck. At the same moment the door of the menagerie house opened and out stepped a small man of about fifty. His overcoat was too large for him and he carried an ancient suitcase. As they met they exchanged a few words. “On your way, Ed?” “Yes, Mr. James, I am leaving on the 9:20 train in the morning.” “I am sorry you arc leaving us. Good luck.” Mr. James entered the door of the menagerie house while the little man rounded the end of the stable building. “Hefty!” he called; “come, Hefty!” There was no response. Putting down his suitcase in the snow he entered the stable. There was a slight movement in the stable where the big, dapple-grav horse stood. Crouching at his feet was a yellow dog. “Come, Hefty,” he said quietly; “Old Bumps is not going.” He stepped to the head of the stall and rubbed Bumps on the nose. The three had been friends for years. They had performed in the sawdust iing with Edas, director, old Bumps cantering around the ring and Hefty per- forming his stunts on his broad back. As he came out he encountered several more of his friends. They were all sorry to see him go. Then, with his suitcase banging against his knees, Ed Lankin started toward the railroad station, followed by the yellow dog. Pour days later they stood on the threshold of a ramshackle abode, high on the western slope of the Rockies. They had reached the place of their pioneering. The snow was very deep in the high hills. The old cabin was poorly built, showing daylight between the cracks. It was going to be very lonely up there even with Hefty. Day by day Hefty grew more distant from his master. Ed could see there was something the dog was longing for. Sometimes Ed would stand for half an hour calling him when at last he would appear over the ridge trotting unwill- ingly toward his master. Out beyond the ridges, coyotes yelped with sharp staccato barks. As winter deepened, storm followed storm. Ed and Hefty remained inside. One night Hefty began whining. Ed commanded him to stop, but he would not. Getting angry he cuffed Hefty’s ears. Hefty gave a leap through the window and started toward the forest. Ed ran in pursuit calling and coaxing but Hefty would not come back. He had gone to join the pack of coyotes. The memory of the shaggy yellow dog as he fled from him remained in Ed’s mind. He made up his mind he had to have old Bumps up there. Four days later he stood at the corner of the menagerie house—the manager of the circus. “How soon do you want him, Ed” asked the little man. iolgssgpi (Elie luisfuiary “I’d like to ship him out in the morning,” said Ed. “All right, we will get him ready now.” “So long, Ed!” “Same to you, Jim!” With these words they parted. The next morning Ed and Bumps left for the cabin in the mountains. A week later in a ramshackle old stable a man paused at his work of bedding down the Pcrcheron to stroke his mane, for he. too. had heard the distant sound of beying. “That’s old Hefty, Bumps. It’s old Hefty.” One night as Ed came from mailing a letter he saw Bumps standing in the moonlit corral. Crouched down beside his front feet was a dark object. Ed called: “Hefty! Hefty!” The form rose and trotted to him. Once again the three old friends were happy together for the next day they were going back to the circus and the home they loved. Margaret Besore. m Debating, in the Urbana Hig,h School Ten years ago debating teams were organized in I'rbana High School and that very year inter-class and Varsity debates were held. I'rbana. at one time, competed with the Decatur and Danville high schools, but interest in debating waned after a few years, and Decatur dropped out. leaving only Danville and I 'rbana. This year, however, a new interest has been stimulated in debating, as I ’rbana has become a member of the Illinois High School Debating League, which has been sponsored by the State Normal University. Its purpose is to encourage varsity debating. Under the auspices of the League, schools may compete in- debating until defeated, and in this way the state champions may Ik determined. We had a choice of opponents, and arranged to compete with Danville this year. Urbana High School hopes to join with the League in stimulating interest in public speaking, and in the discussion of questions of state and national im- portance. Dorothy Gray, '24. ! I Affirmative Team The I'rbana debaters both won and lost in the annual debate with Danville which was held February 8. The question for debate was: Resolved: That im- migration to the United States be suspended for a period of three years. The affirmative team: Irene Zack, Herrick Hall, and Theodore Oliver, with Alice Oat bout as alternate, went to Danville to uphold Urbana, but were defeated three to nothing. II i Negative Team The negative team which met and defeated Danville in the Urbana Audi- torium. was composed of: Ilertha Bowman, Philip Hundley and Milton Dewey with Shirley Engle as alternate. Their victory evened up for the defeat of the affirmative team at Danville. Three members of the two debating teams are to graduate this year, leaving five experienced debaters to defeat Danville next year.

Philip Hundley, giving Patrick Henry’s “Call to Arms,” was the Urbana representative in oratory; flelen Maguire, reading “How the LaRue Stakes Were Lost,” was entered in the dramatic division; Mildred Waterbury gave “Her First Ride in an Outymobile,” as a humorous reading; and Alice Oathout in the modern poetrv division, gave “The Ballad of East and West.” Three of the Urban a contestants were placed in the final contest and each of them won a medal. Mildred Waterbury received a gold medal for first place in the humorous division, and Alice Oathout and Philip Hundley each were placed second in their respective divisions. No other school represented in this contest was awarded as many places as was Urbana. This is due largely to the excellent coaching of Miss Johnson, the Public Speaking instructor. The results of this contest are better than they have been for several years, and although two of the Urbana contestants will be lost by graduation, we hope for much at this contest next year. Alice Oathout, ’25. Normal Contest In order to enter the Normal Contest, the Urbana contestants had to place in the preliminaries at Champaign. The Girls’ Glee Club, the Boys’ Glee Club, the three extemporaneous speakers, Shirley Engle. Ted Oliver, and Herrick Hall, and Monica Lyman in platform speaking, and Bernard Moser and Ruth Bresec in oratory, placed and went to Normal. There the Girls’ Glee Club and the Boys’ Glee Club took first place in their department, winning two shields, and Bernard Moser took first place in oratory. On Hundred Eighteen 1924 IlllISSM? ®hc Itasentary 1 I I What Happened to Jones X Friday, May 30, the Senior play. “What Happened to Jones,” was presented in the Auditorium. An encouraging feature of this product was the large number that tried out; so that it was hard to decide upon the characters. Philip Ilundlev as “Jones,” who sold hymn books or playing cards—depending upon the town he was in, played his dual role with a droll humor that kept the audience laughing. The part of “Cissy,” taken by Dorothy Cray, was played with all the cleverness and pep for which that young lady was noted. Marjorie, as presented by Mary Crathorne, was very romantic and a thoroughly lovable young fiancee. The part of “Richard Ileatherlv,” the fiance of Marjorie, was very successfully presented by Shirley Engle. Divena McKay as “Helma,” the ignorant Swedish girl, delighted the audience with her dumbness. The cast was as follows: Jones...............................Philip Hundley Ebenezer Goodly.....................Gerald Fitz-Gcrald Anton Goodly.

One Hundred Twenty (Dic luisrmaru “Agatha’s Aunt” OLLOWING its usual custom. Crhana High School, presented a mid- year play, which was given on March 13, 1924. This year’s play, “Agatha’s Aunt,” proved a great success, both because of the delicacy of treatment of the characters and the enthusiasm with which it was received. The part of Agatha was unusually difficult to portray be- cause she assumed the role of an old lady, and an illiterate hired girl sides that of a beautiful girl of nineteen years. Alice Oathout took this part very well. Mildred Waterbury. as Zaida Finch, an old maid and relative of Agatha’s, interpreted her role with distinctive cleverness. The part of Burton Forbes, the blind hero, was very realistically presented by Fred Picknell. Ken- dall Kelly and Corwin Hinton as Deacon Wiggins and Jim Doolittle, deadly rivals for the hand of Zaida, kept the audience in gales of laughter. The cast was as follows: Zaida Finch Jim Doolittle Deacon Wiggins Howard Kent Phemie Tidd Agatha Kent Burton Forties Hidglev Warren Mrs. Knox Julia Stud ley Mildred Waterbury Corwin Hinton Kendall Kelly Clarke Shobe Katherine Burrows Alice Oathout Fred Picknell Morgan Hundley Marjorie Wilson Beatrice Sloan Mary Crathornk. ! i BE3BM cTlic Kosrmctrn Fanny and the Servant Problem XE of the most difficult and yet most successful dramatic achievements at I'rhana was “Fanny and the Servant Problem.” given for the benefit of the Echo, Friday, December 8, in the auditorium. The char- acters were all very well portrayed, especially that of “Fanny,” the $ young actress, played by Helen Maguire. Corwin Hinton as Lord Ver- non. the young husband of Fanny, was a dashing hero, while Claude Hall made a very dignified and serious butler. The twin roles of the Misses Wetherall, spinster aunts of Lord Vernon, were cleverly taken by Marjorie Wil- son and Betty Mitchel. Owing to the ability of the cast and to the efficiency of Miss Johnson’s coach- ing the presentation of this play marked a real step in I'rhana’s dramatic de- velopment. Fanny .... Vernon Wetherall.

All of the stunts were exceedingly clever so that the judges, Mrs. II. S. Dissman. Mrs. Marry Levinsohn. Miss Miriam Killcfcr. Mr. Chancy Finfrock. and Mr. Herbert Bickel. found it difficult to decide between the Juniors and the Sophomores. Finally, however, the decision was awarded to the Sophomores. The Senior stunt. “Paging the Public.” was a series of pictures represent- ing well-known advertisements, such as: Eastman Kodaks. Stacomh. Whitman’s Chocolates, etc. The committee in charge included Philip Hundley, Helen Ma- guire. Corwin Minton, Josephine Miller, and Dorothy Gray. The Juniors’ “Leap Year Leap” was very successful because it contained many songs and dances which lent pep to its presentation. The committee con- sisted of the following: Audree Mill. Wright Farnsworth, Alice Oathout. Martha Oliver, and Edward McGrath. “And the Villain Still Pursues Mini.” presented by the Sophomores, was awarded the prize as the most amusing and entertaining of the four. Last came the Freshman stunt, “Why the Desert Sands Are Dry. The scene was laid in Egypt and the stunt, though rather long, was more artistic than clever. The committee was composed of Gladys Freeman. Cecil Thomp- kins, Margaret Phillips. Edna Pold, Jo Williamson, and Carleton Williams. Mary Cratiiorne, ’24. I i i One Hundred Twenty three Am I Intruding? This year witnessed the innovation of a new event at Urbana. This was the hoys' Stunt Show—a play in which all the parts were taken by boys. “Am I IntrudingI'’ was admirably suited to this purpose for it contained type char- acters which could be cleverly and humorously worked out by boys. Willard Monahon as “Vi,’ the flapper sister of the heroine, was the hit of the evening. In his gorgeous gowns Yi flirted and flapped in such a realistic manner that the audience could hardly believe it was not looking at some clever actress. Ed McGrath played the part of the hero, disguised as a comic country hick, with great success. Ray Stoltey, as “Dora,” made a bewitching ingenue, while Zaek Martin, as “.Jane.” was a very stiff and proper novelist. The Stunt Show certainly was a decided success and it is hoped that future Stunt Shows may meet with the same enthusiasm.

The occasion for the presentation was the annual girls’ gym exhibition, this year, in charge of Miss Hilgard. The program was divided into two parts: first, “Marching and stunt day in gym class,” and second, “The Pied Piper of Hamelin.” The play began when the burgomaster of Hamelin. Ruth Boyd, and his wife, Bernice Corner, called the villagers together for a festival. Upon the arrival of the peasants, each group in turn gave their dance, the first two being English, then Hungarian, followed by a Dutch dance, “Zuyder Zee.” by Leota Miller and Edric Seward. Then came a Flemish dance followed by a bit of romance. “Playfulness.” by Beatrice Sloan and Ethel Bruner. Happy and gay were the children of Hamelin until the rats infested the town, when they became very frightened and ran away. The little crippled boy. which was played by Ruth Locke, remained to tell where the children had gone. Finally the Pied Piper, played by Miss Hilgard, entered, drove the rats away, but he also took the children away because the burgomaster would not pay him. The lame boy, however, knew where they were: the burgomaster paid the Pied Piper and all ended in a dance of joy. Marjory Wilson and Patty Brennan furnished the music for the demon- stration.

On llitnHrrd Tirrnty-firr The Dramatic Class 1I1S year there has been introduced into Urbana High School a new and vitally important element—The Dramatic Class; the purpose of which is not to make actors and actresses of the students, but to train them to become intelligent audiences. Through this channel the stu- dent has become familiar with the mysteries behind the footlights. After the class had studied the science of make-up, a very interesting exhibition was given by Professor Gray from the University, who is a past master at the art. This information has proved of valuable assistance when help was needed with the make-up for school plays. Kach month the members of the class spent part of their time discussing modern plays, play rights, recent productions, producers, and prominent actors and actresses. By this method the students keep in touch with the latest devel- opments in the dramatic field. Various delegations from the class armed with their fund of information have been invading Professor Troutman’s public speaking classes on days when one-act plays were given. They played their parts well as dramatic critics and returned to the class with detailed reports of all that they heard and saw. The monthly plays given by the class were: “Suppressed Desires.” “Where but in America? and “Modes and Manners.” have served as an entertaining demonstration of the fruit of tin instruction which Miss Johnson has presented in such a thorough and skillful manner. We trust that the dramatic classes have become a part of the regular cur- riculum of Urbana High School as the training which the student receives helps him to a better appreciation of the finer things in the dramatic world.

Although organ- ized for but a short time the Music Department has grown to a point where it can compete with other schools of much larger enrollment. About 225 students are now enrolled in courses in music. Urbana now sup- ports a band, an orchestra, a chorus, a Bovs’ Glee Club and a Girls' Glee Club. |J Each of these organizations ranks with the best in High School music. Even though only one-third of the High School is enrolled in music every- one gets some benefit out of music. Everyone was given an opportunity to take part in the Music Memory Contest. A trial contest was held. The following were chosen to represent the High School in the Chicago Contest: Patty Bren- nan. Dorothy Scheib, Doris Scheib, Willard Monohan, Lawrence Binyon, Mar- jorie Wilson and Thelma Briggs. Many people in High School are under the impression that the courses of- fered in music arc open only to those who have passed certain requirements. This is a mistaken impression for the Music Department is open to any serious-minded student of Urbana High School regardless of ability or previous training. One Hundred T went it term The Chorus The mixed chorus of the Urbana High School has the distinction of being the best High School chorus in the state. This claim is based on the results of three contests held throughout the state during the past school year. The chorus is composed of 150 unpicked voices, thus giving everyone in High School a chance to become a member. Undoubtedly the chorus docs its best work when everyone is present, but unfortunately the entire chorus was not able to compete in foreign localities for the honor of Urbana High School. On December 29, 1923, forty-four people selected from the chorus won first prize at the Illinois State Music Contest held at Orchestra Hall, Chicago, under the auspices of the Illinois Music Supervisors Association. Mr. Osborne McCon- athy of Northwestern University presented to the chorus the banner which now hangs in the auditorium. The chorus placed another feather in its championship hat when it won first prize in the Music Contest at Charleston, Illinois, on May 2, 1924, bringing home a large loving cup. The third feather in the hat was fixed when the two Glee Clubs, a part of the Chorus, drove to Normal, Illinois, in automobiles and won, not only the first prize for Girls’ Glee Clubs, but also first prize for Boys’ Glee Clubs. Two very attractive shields were brought home from the Normal University State Contest. The contests won by the Chorus and the Glee Clubs do not begin to relate the actual work which they have accomplished during the year. These cham- pion warblers have given three big concerts during the year besides singing parts of many other programs. The first program was given December 17, 1923, at the Illinois Theatre. Proceeds of this concert went to take the singers to the State Contest at Chicago. A second successful program was given on May 9, 1924, at the High School Auditorium. Newspaper criticisms of the concert praise the work of the Glee Clubs very highly. The last concert was the grand finale of Urbana’s First Music Festival. Some of the more important other appearances of the Chorus were: East- ern Division of the Illinois State Teachers’ Conference at the University Audi- torium; Illinois State Teachers’ Conference at the University Auditorium; Na- tional Convention of the W. C. T. U. at the Urbana-Lincoln Hotel, and the Urbana Woman’s Club. One Hundred Ttrrnty eight 1921 The Boys’ Glee Club Although the boys in the Glee Club also sing in the Chorus, still they are a definite organization apart from the Chorus. The Boys’ Glee Club has been organized for one year and has accomplished many honors. The Boys’ Glee Club has entertained more people than any other similar organization in and about I'rbana. The boys made one trip to Atwood. Illinois, and gave the entire program. Besides this they also sang at no less than thirty banquets and other programs during the year. The following are members of the Boys’ Glee Club: First Tenors: Faye Trexler Homer White Xyle McMullen Lawrence Binvon Bryce Ward B. L. Dodds Louis Douglass Second Tenors: Orville Swartz William Kenneth Smith Corwin Ilinton Alex Wilson Harry Bercher William Turner Karl Hoagland Francis Blue First Bass: Frederick Picknell Wayne Mann Ray Iloush He id Evans Edwin Martin Junior Hurd Sam Town Bernard Moser Adam Becker Howard Adams Second Bass: Herrick Hall Harold Hurd Charles Johnson Glenn Kirby Joe Walker Accompanist: Patty Brennan I I ;®SZ33EBg® uscniuvu All of the girls in the Glee Club sing in the Thorns. They are organized much in the same fashion as is the Boys’ Glee Club. The Girls’ Glee Club has sung at many programs and banquets during the year. The Girls’ Club deserves much of the credit due to the Chorus because their singing is so consistent. Mr. Dvorak admits that he is in love—with his Girls’ Glee Club. Perhaps it is proper to single out Miss Nell McDonough as a soprano soloist. Nell was first in the vocal contest held at Charleston, Illinois. She won a four- year scholarship at the Eastern Illinois State Normal University. The following make up the Girls Glee Club: First Sopranos: Nell McDonough Mildred Jones Eunice Wilkinson Mary Thompson Nolle Lester Dorothy Douglas Dolores Burnett First Altos: Reha Robertson Minnie Means Margaret Moore Nina Patterson Loraine Langhoff Verna Dailey Thelma Briggs Ruth Slater Faye Hutchinson Betty Mitchell Dorothy Scheib Helen Maguire Second Sopranos: Helen Waldo Opal McCoy Mildred Tipton Doris Scheib Helen Robbins Monica Lyman Helen Tobias Second Altos: Nelle Katherine Doak Betty Yantis Vonna Marr Katherine Burrows Audree Hill Olive Dunne Hutchinson Ruby Smith Ruth Bresee Ac com pa nists: Irene Zack Pat tv Brennan The Girls’ Glee Club 192 1 1 I 'll The Urbana Hi h School Orchestra Unlike most high school orchestras this one takes on Symphonic proportions, not in size, but in balance and instrumentation. The orchestra is the best Ur- bana High has had for some time. The orchestra has played a number of programs throughout the school year. Not only this, but the orchestra was also a great help in teaching the selections of the Music Memory Contest to the high school. The orchestra finished its work by playing a concert in connection with Urbana s first Music Festival. The orchestra played a rather difficult program well. i The following people are First Violins: Katherine Adams Josephine Miller Charles Lane Prentiss Smith Thelma Briggs Kian Wie Lee Second Violins: Berniece Rankin Marie Busev Fred Oathout Franklin Wilkinson Marion Sadorus Willard McBride Harry Prestin Cello: Marion Leming Flute: Lawrence Binvon Clarinets: Paul Welton Eugene Boucher Ralph Hubbard Jo Williamson members of the orchestra: Cornets: Karl Hoagland Frank Johnson Glenn Phillips II or ns: George Sharp Omer Bantz Saxophones: Jesse Miller Fred Somers Glenn Chapman Bass Violins: Linis Hubbard Roy Apperson Trombone: Harmon McGrath Drums: Bryce Ward Willard McBride Wesley Huss Piano: Inez Smith 1924 ES£ZSS£ 3!(« l.!;,,,,-,,,,,. The High School Band Urbana High has a band of forty pieces. This is fifteen more pieces than the band had last year. The band has learned to play some very difficult selec- tions and overtures and is considered better than in previous years. 'The Band was instrumental in pepping up the football games last fall and the basketball games during the winter. It not only manufactured a lot of pep, but it also played a concert in connection with the Music Festival, May 27. 28. 29th.

This aim has been upheld during the past year by the capable officers: •President............................Dorothy Grav Vice-President .... Philip Hundley Secretary................................Leota Miller Treasurer.............................Edrie Seward Adviser ..... Florence Johnson At the first meeting of the club the Junior-Senior debate was held. The question was: Resolved. That the United States Congress appropriate a sum of $.'10.000.000 to assist in the prevention of liquor smuggling. The senior team, Irene Zack. Ilerrick Hall and Shirley Engle, upheld the question and defeated the junior team: Alice Oathout, Mildred Waterbury and Theodore Oliver. The Junior-Senior debate served as a signal to the other classes, who fol- lowed soon with other debates. The Sophomore-Freshman debate was the next in line. The question was: Resolved, That Urbana should own and control all public utilities. The class of ’26. who were victors, was supported by Leota Miller. Emma Jane Shepherd, and Raymond Webber. Mary Ann Carson, Mil- ton Dewey and Robert Shirt debated for the Freshman. The last debate of the season was the Senior-Sophomore debate, won by the Seniors, thus giving them the inter-class championship. The question for this debate was: Resolved, That the Bok peace plan be adopted by the United States. Several of the club meetings were given over to Mrs. Hamilton who gave a series of interesting and instructive talks on the “Techniques of Debating.” The highest point of interest in debating was centered in the Urbana-Dan- villc debate, held early in the second semester. The question was: Resolved. I hat all immigration to the I nited States be prohibited for a period of three years. The affirmative team which went to Danville, was defeated, while the negative team was victorious. Those on the affirmative team were: Irene Zack. Theodore Oliver and Herrick Hall with Alice Oathout as alternate. Ilertha Bowman, Milton Dewey and Philip Hundley, with Shirley Engle as alternate, formed the negative team. Several dramatic productions have been given under the auspices of the Lit- erary Society, through the help of Miss Florence Johnson, the dramatic coach. This year has been unusual in the number and types of plays given. “Fanny and the Servant Problem.” “Agatha’s Aunt,” and “Am I Intruding!” to- gether with the annual stunt show, made this year an outstanding year for dramatics. Although the Literary Society has not held the usual number of meetings, still it has accomplished much this year. Lkota Miller.

Paul Welt on At first it was decided to have the club organized under the auspices of the I’ni versify V. M. C. A., but after much discussion the cabinet members of the club thought that it would be much more successful as an independent organiza- tion with the same ideals, as those of clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholarship, and clean social affairs. A membership drive was then launched which resulted in the largest en- rollment ever known, that of one hundred and twenty-five members. Several very interesting meetings were held, with excellent speakers at each meeting; some of whom were Dean Clark and Vivian Green. Later on in the semester a banquet was given. About one hundred and twenty boys were present which made it the largest and most successful banquet for boys ever held in this school. The speakers. Professor Belting and Reverend Malone, gave very interesting and instructive talks. A K. S. K.-S. K. Dance was given later on in the year, in the Gym. with about eighty couples taking advantage of the good floor, excellent music, and delicious punch. I believe that I am expressing the thoughts of every member by saying that this has been the most successful year of any boys’ organization in the I rbana High School. Kenneth Hull.

Although there were many other activ- ities and organizations which demanded time, the members of this particular organization had several excellent parties in addition to their regular meetings. These good times had an underlying principal—-one of whole-hearted friend- liness. This year this movement was carried out by the following officers: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Social Chairman Adviser Helen Maguire Louise Still Dorothy Gray Mary Mallow Josephine Millet- Miss Johnson There were three matinee hops, the regular spring hike, a swimming party, a weiner roast, three big parties, and the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet.

I I I i Alpha Si£,ma Rho X order to express the gratitude of the High School toward those stu- dents who represent the school in the oratorical contests held each year, these students automatically become members of an honorary organiza- tion known as Alpha Sigma Rho. The contests occur at the end of the year, and since there are so many activities going on at that particular time no one pays much attention to the results. Last spring I'rbana was very fortunate in both contests. The three con- testants who went to tin MiIIikon Interscholastic meet were Helen Maguire, humorous reading; Louise Bresee. oratory, and Vernalee Burpo. dramatic read- ing. Helen received a gold medal and the other two girls received silver medals. Since there were fifteen schools represented in the contest. I’rbana was unusually successful. In the Charleston Contest the same girls were entered with the addi- tion of Alice Oathout in the poetry division. At this Contest Louise Bresee car- ried off the honors. This year there is a larger group of students entered in the oratorical events. On April 26 at Champaign the following students took part: Oratory. Bernard Moser. Ruth Bresee and Dorothy Gray; platform reading. Frances Wil- liamson. Monica Lyman and Maxine Taborn : extempore speaking. Shirley Kngle. Theodore Oliver, and Herrick Hall. Shirley Kngle will represent I'rbana on May 10 at the Normal Interscholastic meet. On the same day at Charleston, the school will be represented by Philip Hundley in oratory, Alice Oathout in poetry. Mildred Waterbury in humorous readings, and Helen Maguire in dra- matic readings. These contestants have all had experience in this type of work and should bring many honors to I'rbana High School.

The High School has had a seigc of Roman Senators in their purple and white togas; the equestrians or knights in their plain togas; and the plebs in plain wool garments. These represent the three classes of Roman Government and here represent three classes of Latin stu- dents. The senators are composed of the advanced students, the eques- trians are the second year students, and the plebs are the beginners. These Latin students thought that the interest in Latin and the Classics could Ik furthered by having a live and active club. At the meetings they have had mock trials. Latin plays, mock weddings, debates, revelations by the Augeries and discussions of Homan Politics, lectures, excursions to the univer- sity. and pictures. The officers, similar to those in the Old Homan government, are: Consuls Scribes Quaestor Aediles Praetors Adviser Lictor Tribunes Augers Chief. Irene Zack: Vice. Emma Jane Shepherd Joselvn Way.

Every student who is taking art or who has had one year of art is eligible for active membership. The club was organized in the spring of 1022. The officers are to he elected at the first May meeting of each year. The following officers were elected for the year of 1923-24: Ruth Yillars Gladys Bruner Agness Dyson Thelma Mark ley Miss Arter President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser The club has twenty members. They meet the first and third Tuesday of each month. At the first meeting the constitution was discussed and adopted by the society. The purpose of The Art Club is to promote interest in art and to lieeome more acquainted with the works of artists. Among the interesting things which they did at the meetings were: basketry, weed painting, sealing wax craft, placeeards. and paper flowers. The lives and works of Corot Willet. Raphael. Sargent, and Lorado Taft were studied. The club made a visit to the Classical Museum, where they heard an excellent talk on statuary, miniature buildings, and other objects of interest there. Parties and hikes were also enjoyed by the members during the year. Although it is newly organized, the club has had a most successful year. Agness Dyson. ’24.

The association held a basketball tournament man- aged by Harriett Hadlock, a track meet managed by Xelle Doak. a swimming meet managed by Dorothy Webber, and a baseball tournament managed by Helen Veach. They have also had hikes, bicycle rides, and skating parties. The club owes a great deal to its adviser. Miss llilgard. who has helped in every way possible.

PM iky] n Hutulrtd Fifty riyht 1921 G= •Br I I Mother and Daughter Banquet UK third annual Mother and Daughter Banquet was given under the auspices of the S. K. Club on February 20, at eight o’clock in the High School cafeteria. We all love our mothers, but it is very seldom that we have an oppor- tunity to publicly display our filial devotion. It is with this in mind that we eagerly anticipate the Mother and Daughter Banquet. The banquet also serves as a splendid opportunity for our mothers to meet our friends and their mothers. Decorations were most effectively carried out in the club colors, blue and gray. The walls, lights, and tables were a network of blue and gray streamers, and flowers in gray baskets with blue bows were placed on each table. Mrs. r. H. Woolberv gave a charming talk on the Mother and Daughter Problem, and very pleasing toasts were given by the class representatives, Dor- othy dray, senior; Marjory Wilson, junior; Leota Miller, sophomore, and Dor- othy Greene, freshman. A reading. “An Hour with a Modern Martyr,” was given by Monica Lyman. The sight of that deep, inexpressable relation which exists between mothers and daughters has always served as an inspiration to the daughters of Urbana High School, and it is the sincere desire of those who are leaving the protecting influence of Alma Mater that this touching demonstration will long be continued.

May 22, at the Urbana-Lincoln Hotel. The banquet was given in honor of the three students receiving the highest grades from each class. Each student invited his favorite teacher. The student guests were: Freshmen—Cyprian Cunningham. Mary Carson, and Donald McKay: Sophomores- Arthur Lloyd, Hazel Mosier and Emma .lane Shepherd; Juniors- Virginia Veale, Dorothy Kern, and Margaret Moore, and Seniors Levi Lind. Lillian -lessee, and Helen Robbins. Six other students selected by the faculty for leadership and service to Ur- bana were also invited. They were Irene Zack, Leota Miller, Mary Douglas. Ralph Reno. Shirley Engle and Frank Walker. The teacher guests were: Mrs. Smothers. Miss Werner, Miss Keller. Miss McClurg, Miss Lahman, Miss Rumpel. Miss Doyle, Mrs. Killefer and Miss Still. There were many other guests, including Dean Leonard, Dean Thompson, and Dean Chadsev of the University: Caroline Tuffer, secretary of Phi Beta Kappa, and L. W. Williams, principal of University High School. Each gave a short talk. Dean Chadsey gave a very interesting talk on scholarship. Mr. Flaningam acted as toastmaster. Caroline Tuffer told the students about Phi Beta Kappa and outlined her plan for the honorary fraternity for Urbana High which would correspond to Phi Beta Kappa. Definite steps were taken and it is hoped that her suggestions will In carried out in the near future. This banquet, the second of its kind at Urbana, was one of the most success- ful activities of the year and was. if possible, more successful than last year’s. It is hoped that the leaders in scholarship may he as highly honored as those in athletics or dramatics and these honor banquets are doing much toward creating that feeling. I i 1! (Elirluiocmmu S. K. Bean Supper One cold night in December the S. K. decided to give a bean supper. So they passed the good word along and about six o’clock all the S. K.’s gathered at the school. Oh ! but those beans were good ! Speeches were given by Dorothy White, Mary (’rathorne. Helen Maguire and Leota Miller. Afterwards there was dancing in the gym and several of the girls volunteered to give extempo- raneous songs and dances which added to the general hilarity and made everyone hate to go home. Mid-Year Dance I i After the cramming of exam week, what a relief was the annual post exam dance! This dance, given by the S. K.’s and K. S. K.’s together, was certainly a great success. Many attended the dance, and everyone was in high spirits. The orchestra played the latest selections in a manner which pleased all. Paul Wei ton and Shirley Engle were in charge of the program. The chaperones were Miss Picketts. Mr. and Mrs. Clark. Miss Johnson, and Mr. Bickcl. It was easy to see from the encores and from the gay laughter that the entertainment was highly successful. Ont Hundred Sixty tiro S. K.-K. S. K. Dance On October twcntv-tbird. the atmosphere of the gymnasium became sur- charged with the Hallowe’en spirit. The brilliant reds and yellows of the gyp- sies’ costumes mingled with the airy colors of fairies and the dull black of domi- noes at the S. K. - K. S. K. Hallowe’en dance. The drab interior of the gym was transformed into a colorful setting of autumn. The room was decorated in orange and black: corn stalks placed around the walls added to the effect. From one end of the room, the large har- vest moon just rising from behind the corn threw its yellow rays over the dancers, and east dark shadows on the floor. Into such a setting as this the procession of masked figures led by Helen Maguire and Corwin llinton wound in and out. finally, broke into couples as tin orchestra struck up a jazzy tune. Prizes were awarded to Ralph Douthit and Katherine Colvin for the cleverest costumes. The committee in charge included tin- following: Shirley Fugle. Gerald Fitz-Gerald. Paul Welton. Dorothy White. .Josephine Miller, and Helen Maguire. The «lanee was chaperoned by Miss Ricketts. Mr. and Mi’s. Hamilton. Miss Doyle, and Miss .Johnson. S. K. Hike When is a hike not a hike? When its a weenie roast. At least that’s the way the S. K. hike was. It had all been planned so carefully, but of course when the eventful night come it just poured! So the S. K.’s adjourned to the domestic science rooms where they roasted their weenies over the gas flames. Afterward they danced in the gym until Miss Ricketts said it was time to go home. School Matinee Dances During the course of the year several matinee hops were given—some by tlie S. K. and some by the K. S. K. They were always well attended for good music and refreshing punch was always provided and everyone knew what to expect. These hops did much to increase the friendliness and school spirit of Obana for they brought the students together in a democratic way. The last one was especially enjoyable for it was a hard times dance. All-day suckers and pop were served and everyone came dressed in their old clothes—those who did not were fined. The committees for these dances were appointed by Dorothy White, social chairman for the S. K.’s. and Gerald Fitz-Gerald. social chairman for the K. S. K.’s. Onr IlunArfii Sixln thr r Football Banquet OLLO WING the usual custom the Board of Education entertained the footballbovs at a banquet in the cafeteria on January 14.

I 132-lMI [■ SI Ont Hundred Sixl',-firr i£3« (Dic luisruKivu Review of the Football Season of 1923 I i HE football season of 1923 was one of the most unsuccessful ever re- corded against an I'rbana High School eleven. The season ended with the team’s winning two games and losing seven. The schedule was very hard, including teams from larger high schools, such as Danville. Springfield. Decatur and Peoria Central. The team looked good at the start of the season, because of the vet- eran material, and the average weight which was heavy for a high school eleven -such advantages that pointed to them as winners. Coach Pulliam worked hard to put the best available team on the field, but many times they lost a game by some small mistake or some tough luck. Then. too. the loss of Captain How- ard Hudson's services, in the third game of the season, played havoc with the morale of the team. With but three weeks’ practice. Coach Pulliam picked a squad to make the trip to Georgetown to meet their first foe of the season. In the latter part of September, the Orange and Black boys defeated the husky Georgetown lads by a score of 20-6. I’rbana played brilliant football at times, but lacked the con- tinuous fight that makes a winning team. The Georgetown gang had a fast eleven, but could not cope with the heavier I'rbana team.

I'rbana did not show the spirit that has been character- istic of an Orange and Black eleven. The game was slow and ragged without either team’s displaying flashy football. I'rbana outweighed her opponents and had they developed any fight they could have played havoc with the Tus- cola lads. Much credit must be given the Tuscola team, because they carried the attack and were fighting every minute. Bostic and Gross were the outstand- ing players, each making several long gains.

I'rbana met tin strong Decatur eleven for the third game of the season, only to take a whipping on the Decatur field, 16-3. This was a very disastrous game for the I’rbana team, because they lost the services of their captain. In the first period (’apt. Hudson suffered a broken leg. which kept him out of the re- maining games of the season. I'rbana showed plenty of fight and speed at the start, but after the fatal happening everything went wrong. Decatur played a steady game, repelling the Orange and Black eleven at critical moments of the game. Lineup: I'rbana—Graham. L. E.; E. Kirby, G. Kirby and McGrath, L. T.; Burnier. L. G.; Martin.

B. 1 In I rbana reserves met the plucky Oakwood High school team on Friday. October 2.). at Oakwood. where they were defeated 18 0. The Oakwood hoys played hard and with the breaks of the game in their favor, easily downed the Orange and Black scrubs. G. Kirby played the best game for I’rhana, although playing at a handicap because of a broken wrist. I i Mattoon came to I'rbana the following Saturday to open the home season on McKinley Field. Filled with fighting spirit. I'rbana downed the Mattoon lads by a decisive score of 15-0. The Mattoon boys played hard, but were no match for the heavy, hard-hitting I'rbana team. The Orange and Black eleven started out with a rush and scored soon after the kickoff. After Gray had run 40 yards, the ball rested on the 10-yard line. After failing to gain ground. Mumma stepped back and executed a perfect drop kick. Late in the second period. Sperry picked up one of Mattoon’s punts and raced 50 yards for a touch- down. As tin game was nearing an end. Mumma intercepted a pass and ran 40 yards for the last score of tin game. Gray was the outstanding figure, with his consistent gains and three long runs. Douthit performed very well in his new position at quarterback. Lineup: I'rbana Graham and Walker. L. E.; Kirby. L. T.; Burnier and McBride. L. (� .; Martin and White. ( : Conerty, R.

I'rbana met the strong Danville eleven on Mc- Kinley Field. I'rbana tossed the game away in the last few minutes of the game by letting Danville get away with several long passes. The final score was 20-18. Danville scored early in the game, but the powerful line of I'rbana opened the gates to a touchdown for I'rbana shortly afterward. Before the half ended. I’rbana had earned another touchdown, while the Maroon and White eleven were helpless. Shortly after the start of the final period. Kirby chalked up one more for I'rbana. making a score of 18-7. Thereafter Danville worked their passes to a great advantage and by some good luck, trotted off the field victorious. Kirby was the man of the hour. Time after time he plowed through for large gains.

The Orange and Black elecen traveled to Springfield on November second to battle the Capitol City lads. I’rbana met defeat at the hands of these huskies, 15-0. I'rbana did not have the pep and fight a winning team should possess. They played loose and ragged football, never threatening the Springfield goal at any time. Carnes. Springfield’s smashing fullback, was the outstanding star. Repeatedly he would crash through the heavy I’rbana line for large gains. I’rbana seemed tired from the tedious trip they had experienced.

Peoria Central’s husky eleven invaded the Orange and Black camp determined to get revenge for the two previous defeats handed them by I'rbana. Peoria Central emerged victorious by a score of 20-6, after being held to a tie until late into the last quarter. Peoria scored early in the game only to have I’rbana come back and get a touchdown before the half ended. The teams battled on until late in the last quarter before either could score again. Peoria opened up a dazzling pass attack which played havoc with I’rbana s chances to win the game. (’apt. Maple tossed passes here and there to the diminutive Page, who would nearly always get away with good gains. Eventually, two touchdowns resulted from this spectacular attack. The I'rbana line was as strong as usual, although it lacked the services of Conerty. Kirby carried the burden of the attack, with Gray and Weber getting away now and then. Lineup: I'rbana—Graham. L.

I’rbana went into the game determined to win, because a victory meant a rise in their chances against Champaign. The I’rbana boys played hard, but could not hold their opponents, who won tin game by a score 13-3. I’rbana started out with a rush, carrying the ball as she pleased. A blocked punt by Burnier. with Walker recovering, placed the oval on the 25- yard line. I’rbana worked the ball to the 12-yard line, where Bloomington held. Mumma then drop-kicked for three points. At this point of the game. I'rbana looked like winners. Shortly after I'rbana had scored, Bloomington completed a 30-yard pass, which was good for a touchdown. Kirby displayed his mettle by a heroic effort to stop the fleeing opponent, but the lad slipped from his clutches. Thereafter the teams battled on even terms until late into the final quarer. when C’asner slid off tackle for a touchdown. I'rbana players tried hard to score by launching a dazzling pass attack, but they were not rewarded for their efforts. Casner was the Bloomers’ most successful man of the day. scoring both touchdowns for Bloomington. Kirby and Mumma showed up well in the backfield for I’rbana. while Walker and Burnier played a good game in the line. Lineup: I'rbana—Graham. L. E.: McGrath. L. T.; Burnier. L. G.; Martin.

Following the Bloomington tussle came the annual Thanksgiving day game with our bitter rival. Champaign. The Maroons won the game by a score of 13-3. The game was played in a downpour of rain, which is characteristic of the annual battle. The heavier I'rbana team could not move as fast as the lighter, rangy Champaign lads and therefore played at a disadvantage. Cham- paign took the lead in the second quarter and was never in danger thereafter. Onr lhmtlrrH Sixty uinr HIM mm (Tiulxosnuaru 3B I I On a fake play. Heath completed a pass to Olson for 10 yards. In a few line smashes the hall went over the line for six points. Following the kickoff. Urbana carried the ball to the 22-yard line, where Douthit’s try for a place kick failed. In the final quarter the Maroons succeeded in chalking up another touchdown. It was so near not being over that a dispute arose, but the umpire finally ruled it over by a few inches. The game ended with Champaign near the Urbana goal. Urbana was weakened to a certain extent through the loss of Kirby, who was ruled out at the eleventh hour. Wilson, who substituted for him. played a very good game. Cray. Douthit and Weber were always on the alert, each playing a good game. Pankau and Majors caused most of the trouble for the winners.

Howard IItdson: “Papv” Hudson, captain of the t'rhana High School pridders this season, was one of the best players ever devel- oped at this institution. He was a fellow that qualified for the football team be- cause he had that everlast- ing “never pive up” spirit. “Papy” had a touph sea- son this year, because he was injured in the third panic of the season. How- ard will be a loss to next year’s squad. H. « pii Doithit: “Doc” is very well known amonp athletic cir- cles. havinp been a star in football, basketball, and track. He played an end position this year until late in the season, when he was shifted to the hackfield. He was a swift, appressive player, who drew the attention of his opponents at all times. “ Doc” leaves a deep impression in the hall of fame of his school. Clarence (Jkaiiam : Clarence has been a member of the football team for three years. He had his best season in his last two years of playinp. He played the end position, which he held down in a most pleasinp fashion. He always played a consistent game, never shirkinp his job. “Cracker” is another star athlete to pass with the class of 24. Harvey Gray: “Harvc” has been on the football squad for three years. The last two seasons he has earned letters. 1 Ie was a most consistent pround painer this season, displaying his ability brilliantly in the Mat- toon panic. Harvey praduatos with the class of ’24. leavinp a hackfield position that will be hard to fill. • i -e±:— (Tin- KoKiuary Emmett Kikby: Emmett, known as one of the hardest workers on tin s(|iiad. played a tackle position. He was an ex- cellent tackle, hui after Captain Hudson’s injury, he was needed at tin fullback position, lie proved his worth as a round gainer by his excellent work in the Danville and lilonmington games. Emmett is another Senior who leaves a position to be tilled next year. K AIM. ZhcK : “Wreck ’uni’’ Zeek has played varsity football for I'rbana High for three years. He is a player of great ability. Karl succeeded in making a great tackle, be- cause of his untiring fighting spirit. He is a fellow who has that characteristic I'rbana spirit. Karl is also a member of the class of 1924. Ki.oyd Mi mma : Floyd, who is an artist in punting and passing, com- peted against experienced men for a backfield position. He didn’t get a regular berth, but got into enough games to earn a letter. He showed his worth in some of the games by his excellent punting. Floyd is also a Senior and will not be kith the squad next year. AunrsT Ki'RN'ikr: “Skipper has been a regular guard for the past season and a hard one to beat. “Skipper” filled in at the guard position at the start of the season and proved that he was fully capable for the position. August will leave his position to be filled next season, because he graduates this year. One Hundrtti S r nty tu:o Che l osrmnru g SlSSBS HiPli IIomer White: This year marked the first season of football playing that Homer has experienced. He reported a little late for practice, but because of bis untiring work, the coach recognized him. Pulliam put IIomer into a game where his excellent playing stamped him as a good man. He was in several games thereafter. His graduation will be felt keenly, because lie was a good lineman. Thomas Wilson: “Tom” had plenty of fight and that “never give up” spirit. He stayed with the squad all season, getting into a game now and then. A sudden and critical time appeared at the eleventh hour before the big Thanks- giving game. A fullback was needed to fill the place vacated by a fellow player. “Tommy” stepped in and handled the job in the best way that was possible. Thomas is a Senior who graduates this year. Bernard Mosieh : Bernard played football for the first time this season. He reported a little late, but by his hard work, the coach saw a great possibility in him. When he got into a few games, he displayed his ability in a wonderful manner. Bernard is another Senior we lose. Roger Conerty: “Hog” is captain-elect of next year’s squad. He has been playing on the varsity for two sea- sons. He is a consistent player, always doing his share of the work. “Rog” always takes his man out. using his excessive weight at a good advantage. Roger well deserves the honor of being next year’s captain. ! ! IBii ®l|eJRp � maro William Weber: “Bill.” as In is better known, has been a gridder for three years. In his first year of competition he failed to got a letter, but in these two years lie has succeeded in getting a position. “Bill’s unusual speed and aggressiveness landed him a regular berth on this season's team. “Bill” is also a punter of excellent ability. He has a another year of competition and much will be expected of him. Zack Martin: “Shorty“ was one of the surprises of the football season. He came out for practice in the early season and the coach, needing a center, gave him a chance. Zack. being a hard worker, soon developed into a good center. “Shorty” will be with Hrhana next year to do his best to help the school to have an excel- lent team. Howard McHratii : “Kd“ is one of those sturdy tackles that Coach Bulliam always depended on to stop the opponent’s play. His success is largely due to his being in the game, heart and soul. Ed will be with the squad next year and is expected to be a great lineman. Frank Walker: Frank answered the call for foot- ball candidates and was allowed to stay with the squad. He worked hard and got into a game now and then. In the I'coria game he demonstrated his ability; thereafter, he was a regular. Frank has two more years with Fr- kana High; much will be expected of him before he graduates. Coach (Yktis IYlliam : Coach Pulliam came to Crbana High School this year as Athletic Di- rector. He coached the teams to the best of his ability and had very good success during the year. Ont UundrtJ Strrnty four � « Wn.lBn -mn Review of the Basketball Season of 1923-24 I I HE I'rbana High School basketball season started with a class basket- ball tournament, immediately after the football season ended. Coach Pulliam picked the best material out of the several teams and started the work of building a basketball team for Urbana. Out of the class teams be picked about twenty men to work with. These men include Graham. Douthit. Seward. Stoltey. Martin, Weber, Hull, Mumma, Franks, McGrath. Kemp, Hurd. Adams, Benge, and Chapman. The season was one of the many successful seasons I’rbana has bad. Out of the thirteen scheduled games eight were victories, including the strong Lane Tech, Champaign. Danville, and Springfield teams. The team started the sea- son at a moderate gait, but as the season wore on. they hit a fast pace. They were at the pinnacle of their season when they downed the strong Lane Tech team of Chicago. Thereafter the team gradually slowed up, losing the last two games on the schedule. The first game of the season was one of tin heart-breaking variety. I’rbana lost to the Danville quintet by the close score of 19-18. I’rbana played the best basketball during the first half and led at the end of the half. 11-4. The Danville boys came back the second half playing a much better brand of basketball. They hit the hoop from all angles while the I'rbana five were unable to even get close. At the end of the third period, Danville held a slight lead of one point, the score being 14-ld. The last quarter was full of thrills, both teams playing hard and fast. Danville finally pulled through with a hard-earned victory. The lineup: I’rbana Seward and Stoltey, F.; Hull and Hurd. C.; Douthit. Graham and Mumma, G. Danville—Stellner. Williams and Walon, F.; Gibbons and Gulick, C.; Bader and Smith. G. Mattoon came to play on the local floor for the second game of the season. I’rbana hit a fast pace in this game and overwhelmed Mattoon by the large score of 47-1. The I’rbana offense was working very good, going through the Mattoon defense at will. Stoltey was high scorer with seven goals to his credit. The guarding of ('apt. Graham and McGrath was of the highest type. Lineup: I’rbana—Stoltey, Seward. Weber, and Franks. F.; Douthit and Hull. 0.; Gra- ham. Mumma, Martin, and McGrath. G. Mattoon—Geld. Heggenson. and Wal- ters. F.; Highland and Starkey. C.: flun .e. White, and Bum. G. The next game of the season was with the strong Springfield team. Urbana was defeated by the Capitol City lads in their gym by a score of 24-11. Tin- game was hard fought all through the first half, with the Springfield boys playing a very rough type of basketball. The second half.

Onr Hundred Srrentystren iDBi tEl.r luisrmary The following night, I’rbana stopped off at Decatur to play Charlie Crooks’ fast stepping five. Crhana won tin tussle by tin score of 22-10. The game was very fast, combined with a clean-cut brand of basketball. The I'rbana offense worked very effectively against the Decatur defense. Decatur also had an ef- fective offense, but by the excellent guarding of Graham and McGrath the De- catur score was kept at a small figure. Lineup: Crhana Stoltcy, Weber, Seward, and Franks, F.; Douthit, Graham, McGrath, and Martin, G. Deca- tur Robbins, McGowan. Oetzel and Sattley. F.: Lanum and Lowry. C.; Frisch, Offenstein. and Perry, G. The next game of the season marked the meeting of Champaign in the local gym. With the large gym packed to its capacity, the Orange and Black team sent the I'rbana fans home with a thrilling victory over the Maroons. It was a hectic overtime battle in which Crhana was the winner by the score of 14-13. Champaign led the Crhana boys nearly all the game by a very small margin. With the start of the last quarter, Crhana came forth with all her strength. The boys soon piled up a three-point lead over the Maroons. This lead was cut by the addition of one point to the Champaign score. Just as the gun sounded. Olson, the Champaign star, slipped in the basket that tied up the game. In the overtime, Olson scored first with a basket. Stoltey followed him with a pretty follow-up shot. A foul was called on a Maroon player and Stoltey was made hero of the hour when lie dropped in the free throw that won the game. Douthit and Graham played an exceptional defensive game. McGrath held up under fire and helped Graham wonderfully on defense. Lineup: Crhana—Weber, Seward, and Stoltey. F.; Douthit and Hull. C.; Graham. McGrath, and Munima, C. Champaign—Olson and McAllister. F.; Hyland and Keck. C.; Gamble, Fisher, and Glandt, G. , The sixth game of the season was played on the local floor with the Centralia basketeers as our opponents. Crhana went down in defeat by the close score of m DM7. The southern lads played a peculiar type of basketball that baffled the I'rbana team to a great extent. The freak type of play kept the Crhana boys on the defense most of the time. In the second half, the Orange and Black (pun- let outscored the Centralia five, but at the final gun were two points shy. Stoltey played his usual consistent game, getting four baskets for the honor of high scorer. Graham played a stellar guarding game, which helped to a great extent to keep the Centralia score low. Lineup: Crhana- Stoltey. Weber, Seward, and Franks, F.; Douthit and Martin, ('.; Graham. McGrath, and Mumma, G. Centralia—Dodson and Keel. F.: Saul and Randall. C.; Lacey. Rinehart, and Litchenfeld. G. I'rbana travelled to Kankakee on the night of February ( . and defeated the Kankakee High School team by the score of 19-11. The game was fairly fast, with I'rbana playing a pretty defensive game. Combined with the stellar de- fensive playing, the I'rbana offense was able to outscore the Kankakee boys dur- ing the tussle. Stoltey was high point man with a total of six points.

The game was fast throughout, with the fighting Longview boys exerting every ounce of energy trying to down the superior Urbana quintet. The Urbana team was not working smoothly or they might have run up a larger score than they did. Much credit must he given the Longview defense, because they worked to the utmost trying to stop the onrush of the County Seat lads. Stoltev and Paine were the high point men with six points each. Weber got into the scoring with a couple of pretty baskets. The guarding of Douthit and Graham was of the highest type. In fact, Longview scored only two points during the second half as a result of the defensive playing of Urbana. Lineup: Urbana—Stoltev. Weber, and Seward, F.; Martin and Mumma, Douthit, Hull, and Graham, G. Longview—Seltzer and Poine, F.; Brooks, C.; Eckerty and Marnes. G. Urbana won its third consecutive game when the strong Springfield five fell before them by the score of 18-12. It was a hard fought game, because Urbana was out to get revenege for the defeat handed them earlier in the season. Both teams played a defensive game, thus the low score was a result. The score at the half was 7-4. with Urbana leading. In the second half. Springfield got going and played some good basketball. Urbana also hit her stride and soon put the game on ice. Stoltev and Seward played a good game at the forwards. Martin broke into the limelight by displaying excellent floor work, and by contributing two baskets. The guarding of Douthit and Graham was the feature of the game. Blandin and Schnepp played the best ball for the visitors. Lineup: Urbana— Stoltev. Seward, Weber, and Franks, F.; Martin and Hull, C.; Douthit and Gra- ham. G. Springfield Schnepp. Blitchenhaucr, and Blandin, F.; Miller. C.; Myers, Carnes, and Woodson. G. The following night. Danville was defeated in the local gym by the decisive score of 87-11. Urbana played a much better brand of basketball than they did the night before. They completely outclassed the Danville outfit in every de- partment of the game. Urbana displayed a brilliant offense with Martin. Sew- ard. Stoltev. and Douthit bringing the ball down the floor at a fast clip. Stoltev and Seward were the bright lights of the offense, with Seward sinking seven baskets and Stoltev snagging six. Some of the best guarding ever witnessed on the local floor was displayed by Douthit and Graham. Martin played a good floor game, but «lid not feature in the scoring. Baldwin and Bader were the best that Danville produced. Lineup: Urbana—Stoltev, Seward, and Weber, F.; Martin. C.; Douthit, Graham, and McGrath, G. Danville—Gibbons, Stellner, and Baldwin.

The Urbana quintet opened up with everything they had and spanked the Windy City hoys by the score of 31-17. It was far the best game Urbana had played this season. The passing of the locals was fast and accurate, while their eye for the basket was not wandering. The Orange and Black team had rolled up the surprising score of 9-0 at the end of the first quarter. At the half, the score stood lo-fi. Lane played better basketball in the third quarter, but could not catch the fast travelling Urbana team. In the final period. Urbana gradually pulled away from the wiltering city lads, leaving them in the rear by the score of 31-17. Watson, the tall colored hoy. was the outstanding player on the Chicago team. ('apt.

Urbana travelled over to the Champaign gym to play a return game with the Maroons. The Urbana team was not in top form and was defeated by the close score of 17-lfi. The Urbana offense did not function very successfully in the first half, and they looked as if they were completely out of the game. While Urbana was held down with two free throws, the Maroons were piling up a comfortable lead. The score at the half was 7-2. Champaign started the scoring at the start of the second half with a field goal. Urbana then started on a march to catch the fast travelling Maroons, (’apt. Graham dropped in the first basket of the evening for Urbana. This bit of work encouraged the lagging Urbana boys to fight much harder. At the end of the third quarter. Urbana was behind two points, the score being 11-9. Shortly afterwards the score changed to 15-12 in favor of Urbana. Champaign then started a successful rally in which they made the winning point just as the gun sounded. Olson, the Champaign star, was held to only three points during the fray. Stoltey was high scorer with a total of seven points. Lineup: Urbana—Stoltey. Mumma. Seward, and Weber. F.; Martin. C.; Douthit and Graham. G. Champaign—Olson. McAllister, and Blancett. F.; Hyland.

The game was somewhat slow because both teams had played games the night before. Urbana could not hold the Bloomington gang in the first half because of the excellent work of Costigan, the Bloomington center. The score at the half was 13-8. In the second half. Urbana outscored her opponents, mak- ing eight points to Bloomington’s five. Costigan was the outstanding player. i ©« Ixoscmanj % He gathered a total of nine points during the game.

Fifteen teams gathered in the local gym to decide the undisputed championship of this district. Champaign won the tournament by de- feating the fast Longview team in the finals by the score of 28-8. Ogden won third place in the tournament by defeating the strong Villa Grove team by the score of 10-18. The first session of the tournament brought Tuscola and Urbana together in what proved to be a tough game for the County Seat lads. Tuscola led the Urbana boys the first half by a score of 10-8. The Orange and Black team came back strong the last half and gradually pulled away from the visitors. When the final gun sounded. Urbana was leading by a score of 20-18. The big game of tin entire tournament was at the Friday afternoon session, when Champaign and Urbana met. Urbana was completely off form and Cham- paign swept away with an easy victory by the score of 23-16. Champaign led throughout the entire contest. Urbana played good basketball in the last half, but could not overcome the commanding lead the Maroons piled up during the early part of the game. Many of the other games were very interesting, and showed that the smaller towns are putting out some fast basket hall teams. The All-Star selections chosen by the officials were as follows: First Tram Second Tram F—Olson. Champaign F- -McCarrey. Homer F—Paine. Longview F Seltzer. Longview C—Ricketts, Fisher C—Reeder.

The team did not feature in the scoring very much, as they collected only one-half a point. The one-half point was made by Wilbur Knight, who tied for third in the discus throw. I he meet was very fast and because of the wide range of competi- tion. the boys did not score. They made excellent showings, but were just a little behind the winners. Knight was the only Irbana man to score, lie won his way into the finals of the discus throw in an easy fashion. In the finals, he made better marks than the man that took second, hut each time that he performed In fouled by stepping out of the circle. Douthit had a very unfortunate day. He took a bad fall in the low hurdle race, which in the end. cost him a place in the high hurdle event. Although he fell in the low hurdle race, lie got up and qualified for the semi- finals. “Doc” won his way into the finals of the high hurdles in an impressive manner and was looked upon as a certain winner. The fall he had taken earlier in the meet proved serious and he knocked down the first four hurdles in tin final heat. W indmiller did not win a place in the quarter mile event, but he was among the leaders at the finish. The race was very fast and his showing was exception- ally good. Burnier was in poor condition and did not win a place in the mile. He finished about eighth, although lie was running under quite a handicap, Gray jumped about five feet three inches and then was eliminated. The half mile relay team won third place in tin- third race, but did not place as a winner be- cause the three liest times were taken. Charleston Track and Field Meet The following Saturday the Irbana track team journeyed to the Charleston Track and Field Meet. The I rbana team collected a total of 14 points which gave them fourth place in tin Meet. Chrisman won the meet with a total of ‘-91, i points. Danville followed with 28 points and Mattoon placed third with Io points. Wilbur Knight was the individual star for I’rbana. getting a total of five points. He took a second in the discus throw and a third in the shot put. He was not performing up to form or he could have easily won the event. He tossed the weight about 104 feet. Windmiller displayed his ability as a 440 man and took a second in the event. The race was very fast and his showing was excep- tionally good. The event was run in the fast time of :55 1-5. Gray came through in good shape and took a third in the low hurdles. The race was won in the good time of :27 2-5. Burnier misjudged his competitors in the mile race and only took a third. Had In put forth his best efforts at the right time he might have had a higher rating. The race was run off in 4:50 2-5. McBride tried his strength at throwing the hammer and was paid for his efforts when he won third place. He had never thrown a hammer before, but it did not hurt him to try. To top off the day for 1’rbana, the mile relay team captured first place in One Hundred Eighty-eight I v: .. - ZWxt Au' Vu'K.iux.uv the event.

May Hi and 17. The team did not score any points in the meet. The meet was won by Oak Park with a total of forty-six points, while Champaign took second with twenty-one points. New records were established in the shot-put and javelin throw. Lewis of Car- linville. put the shot a distance of fifty feet, two and one-fourth inches, for a new mark. Heath of Champaign threw the javelin one hundred and eighty- three feet, nine inches, for a new record. The I’rbana team could not cope with the strong Chicago teams entered in the meet. The Chicago teams have the advantage of long training seasons and therefore are in much better condition for the strong competition that exists at the large Inerscholastic Meet. Knight was I'rbana’s best bet for a place in the meet. In practice Wilbur had been throwing the discus around one hundred twenty feet. In the meet he failed to qualify for the finals, as lie threw it only one hundred and one feet. Bout hit took a third in the high hurdles, but did not qualify for the finals be- cause the first two men were picked. Burnier did not run up to form and fin- ished in tenth position. Hundley placed in the one hundred yard trial heats, but did not arrive in time to run in the semi-finals Saturday morning. The one- half mile relay team did not make a favorable showing. Our mile relay team would have been a strong contender for high honors had a mile relay race been on the program. The boys who competed for I’rbana were Gray. McGrath. Douthit. Burnier.

Shorty” Urbana Our Harvey One Hundred Xinety-ttco f i l X--------Vu'.'.ixn.n� The Swimming Season of 1924 HE Urbana High School swimming team had a very successful season. It engaged in three meets during the season, two of them being large meets ami the other being a dual meet. By winning the only dual meet held this year the team has won three in a row without suffering a defeat. National Intersoiiolastic Meet The first competition the team entered this year was the National Interschol- astic Swimming Meet held at Northwestern University. Coach Dvorak took five men to this meet, where the best prep natators in the country gathered. Schil- ling. Patterson, Fitz-Gerald, Evans and Binyon were the local hoys to attend the meet. Schilling performed in the fancy diving department, but was not good enough to buck up against such stiff competition. Patterson was in the 100-yard event, but did not score. Fitz-Uerald did not place in the hack-stroke event. Evans could not keep up the fast pace and therefore did not place in the breast- stroke. Binyon tried hard to place in the plunge, but failed to do so. University High vs. IIkbana High The next meet of the season was with University High School of Urbana, which was held in the local tank. The Urbana team jumped into the lead at the start of the meet and was never in danger thereafter. The Urbana boys took five firsts, four seconds, and three thirds for a total of 40 points, while tlie Uni- versity hoys collected only 19 points. Besides winning the meet, three tank rec- ords were established bv the Orange and Black boys. One record was lowered by a University High man. Fit .-Gerald and Patterson of Urbana, and Hulbert of University High, tied for the individual point honor after each collected 8 points. Fit .-Gerald. the Urbana back-stroke artist, easily won the event in the excel- lent time of 1 :25 3-5. This set a new record that will be hard to better. Binyon established a new tank record when he plunged a distance of 58 feet. This is a good record for a prep swimmer and should stand for quite awhile. The other record broken by Urbana was in the relay race. The Urbana team left the Uni- versity High men in the rear to face the splash created when they won the event in the fast time of 1 :33 4-5. Winters of University High won the breast-stroke event from Evans of Urbana in a close race. He set up a new record of 1 :26 4-5 for the event. The following are the results of the meet: 40-yard Swim — Hulbert. Uni. High, first; Fit .-Gerald, Urbana, second; Morris. Uni. High, third. (Time. 23 2-5.) Plunge for Distance—Binyon.

I I Missouri Valley Swimming, Meet On April 4th. the Urbana High School swimming team motored to St. Louis to attend the Missouri Valley Swimming Meet held at Washington University. The boys were tired from the long trip they had taken and were not in the best of condition. In spite of this, they bravely entered the meet, and proved their ability by winning fifth place. In the preliminary heats. Binyon. Fitz-Gerald, Evans, and Patterson quali- fied for the finals. The best performer for Urbana was Binyon. who had broken the tank record in the preliminaries of the plunge and was looked upon as a cer- tain winner of the event. IB went sixty feet six inches in the trials. In the finals he went sixty-two feet six inches, but did not win first place. This is an excellent performance for a prep swimmer and is good enough to win at most meets. Patterson qualified in the plunge preliminaries and in the final captured a fourth. Evans was the other Urbana man to win a place in the large meet. He won his way into the finals of the breast-stroke and after a hard race won fourth place in the event. Fit .-Gerald won the right to swim in the finals of the back- stroke and then lost by a small margin. This performance places the Urbana team among the leading teams in the state. The large entry of prep athletes made the competition strong and under this strong competition the Urbana boys made their fastest time of the season. The boys that made the trip were: Fit .-Gerald. Binyon, Evans, Patterson, Leutwiler, Hoagland. Becker, and Schilling. ggiOEE SiO! Swimming “U” Men APTAIX Reid Evans is the breast-stroke artist of the team.

He is a 100- yard swimmer, a plunger of no mean ability, and a member of the relay team. II is loss will be felt very much next year. Lawrence Binyon has displayed his ability as a first-class plunger all season. He took a second in the Missouri Valley meet. “Skinny” will be with the team next year. Walter Schilling is the fancy diving star of the team. He won a first place in the dual meet, but never placed in the large meets. Walter will compete for I’rbana another year before he leaves. Gerald Fit .-Gerald has proven that he is about as good a prep back-stroke man as there is in this section of the country. He has been a consistent man all season, losing a place at the Missouri Valley Meet by only a few inches. “Fit .” will be a great loss to the team. Honora hi, e M kntion Philip Newton is a fancy diver and a free style swimmer of much ability. He will not 1m with the team when they start the season next year. Karl Hoagland is an understudy of Fit .-Gerald. He has the promise of de- veloping into a good tank man. He graduates this year. Lester Lcutwiler is the other breast-stroke man of the team. He has another year with the team and much will be expected of him. Adam Becker is a member of the relay team. He was a good swimmer and helped make the relay team a winning combination. Harold Noble is another member of the relay team. Harold will not be with the team next year.

The staff is chosen by tin vote of the seniors. Each staff member may pick an assistant. This year’s staff was com- posed of fourteen members. The book is financed by subscriptions, advertising, and various or- ganizations. The cost of publishing the book amounts to four dollars and fifty cents per copy. However, by means of advertising and having all or- ganizations pay for their own pictures and cuts, the book is sold for two dollars. The book has grown from a seventy-page publication in 1910, to a two hun- dred and forty page book in 1924. f ■ The Echo When this year’s Echo staff started out to publish an Echo, it had a debt of one hundred and eighty-five dollars staring it in the face. With hard and ever- lasting work it has not only paid off this debt, but has left fifty dollars in the treasury for next year’s staff. The staff this year has published a six-page paper on time every week, and has met every financial obligation. Too much credit cannot be given the staff for the way it has carried on its work this year. Every department was carried on to perfection, although many obstacles stood in the way. With the election of a promising new staff it is hoped the Echo may be carried on still more suc- cessfully next year. oh- -Hmmi luiscmaru Rosemary Staff’ Editor-in-CInef IIarvey Gray A ssor iat e Ed it or Ralph Reno Business Manager Clarence Graham Associate Business Manager Matilda Kirby Circulation Manager Shirley Engle Associate Circulation Manager Raymond Stoltey Literary Dorothy Gray Photo Ralph Douthit Sports Kenneth Keller Calendar Emmett Kirby Art Floyde Sperry Assistant Art Aon ess Dyson Joke Mary Douglass Assistant Joke Lillian Jessee A ssista n t Lit era ry Guernsey Porter Two Hundred (Lhr IWmnrp , 7 HI Echo Staff Editor-in-Chief Ralph Reno Associate Editor Lillian Jessee Business Manager Irene Zack Associate Business Manager Wilber Knioiit Guernsey Porter News Editor Alice Oatiiout Society Editor Louise Still Sport Editor Kenneth Keller Joke Editor Josephine Miller Exchange Editor Frances Wi lliamson I I IxiiecmarjiJ HOBE Sn c o ♦'Staff Tiro Hundred 1924 tElic luisctuuru 1 Illinois Hi h School Press Association The second annual meeting of the Illinois State High School Press Associa- tion was held on November 22, 23. and 24. at the 1'niversity of Illinois. This organization was formed hv the journalism faculty at the Pniversity. Its pur pose is to create an interest in High School journalism and to bring about a spirit of co-operation between the various high schools. Delegates to the conference were editors, sub-editors and advisers for high school publications throughout the state. These visitors were met by members ot the Echo and Molecule staffs and taken to the I’nion Building, where they were registered. Members ot the journalistic faculty, editors of the campus publications, and reporters for various papers, did their part to make up the interesting and in- structive program. In the course of their talks they took up the style of a high school paper, the kind of news it should contain, the type that should be used, and ways of making the publication a success. I hose who attended the conference were taken through the press rooms where the Illini is printed. One room in I'niversitv Hall contained a special exhibition of newspaper and magazine types. Three special features helped to make the program an interesting one. The first ol these was the tea given by the Quill Club of Champaign High School on the first afternoon of the conference. On Friday evening. November 23, the members of the Phi Gamma Delta and Alpha Tau Omega fraternities entertained the delegates with a dance. After the business meeting on Saturday morning the young people were invited to at- tend the gridograph of an Illinois football game. One event of importance at the conference is the presentation of prizes to those papers and annuals which are judged as the best. To make this competi- tion as tail as possible, high schools are divided into groups according to their size. The 1'rbana High School Rosemary, published by the class of 1923, with Harold Holmes as editor, won second place in the group it was in. The Echo did not place. Members of the Echo and Rosemary staffs who attended this conference, feel that it helped them to do better work, and certainly hope that the Illinois State High School Press Association Conference will be held each year.
