ROMPEL Faculty Adviser Photography by KENT HACKLEMAN As we look back over the year's events, we realize that life at Urbana High School naturally falls into seasonal divisions. Because of this, we have tried to divide the 1944 Rosemary into sections depicting the various events of each season. Although sum- mer is not a regular school season, our administra- tors work all through these months in order to have our classrooms ready for us as we enter the doors of U. H. S. in the fall. The termination of four happy v years at Urbana is represented by the final section of the book—our senior commencement section. The coming years will find the Class of 1944 spread out over many parts of the world, but the Rosemary of 1944 will always serve as reminder of the years to- gether at U. H. S.

Cobb Superintendent of Schools The authority in public education in the 1943-44 school year was the Board of Education. The Board has always devoted itself to the very best interests of the community youth, with a total singleness of pur- pose. Especially alert to the interests and promotion of Urbana High School, the board's ambition was to give all high school students a well-rounded, well- developed program of activities and studies. The pro- gram of Urbana High School was designed to turn out graduates who would be prepared to become respon- sible citizens devoted to the best interest of the entire community. The high school was also dedicated to the idea that it. and its students individually, should bear their share of responsibility for the defense of their country and the maintenance of their way of living. The Board of Education was especially anxious to ex- press its gratitude to those of its former students and graduates who joined the armed forces. It looked with boundless pride on this large and courageous group. Mr. T. H. Cobb, superintendent of the Urbana schools, admired and respected by his associates, has had long experience in the needs of the Urbana schools. Planning for a better future and sympathetic to the wants of the schools, he has grown to be a true friend of students and teachers, alike. BOARD OF EDUCATION Mrs. G. E. Ekblaw. Carl Parks. Vcrn G.

Mr. Hadden plans the students' sched- ules to suit their individual needs, plans the school cal- endar. secures and sells tickets to the many athletic events, writes letters of recommendation, and keeps the school running smoothly. His efforts to make each student's stay at Urbana High as pleasant as possible are never forgotten by students and graduates. Miss Sarah Fisher Mr. S. B. Hadden Principal Watching Miss Fisher perform her many duties, you wonder how anyone could do so many tasks and yet do all of them so well. Last fall, she had a new responsibility as assistant principal besides her old duties as dean of girls and teacher of shorthand and secretarial training classes. We will always remember her willing- ness to help each one of us with our individual prob- lems. Asst. Principal—Dean of Girls STUDENT OFFICE HELPERS Sieferman. Fchner. Bosley. Erickson. Mrs. Dietz.

We have come to know the teachers during our stay at UHS and realize that we have a faculty of unusual ability. The high standards of the Urbana school system have provided the high- est type of teacher. They have cooperated with us in every activity and are willing and eager to spend long hours in giving extra help with schoolwork and in advising the clubs, publications, and activ- ities. We are grateful for the limitless enthusiasm they have shown in each and every individual here at Urbana High School. Biedermann. Bothwell. Buck. Bennett, Appleman APPLEMAN. LUCILLE. B.S.

Not only were we cute, we put on a swell performance, too. . . . joining clubs. . . . serving on committees. . . . getting into Student Council and expressing our opinion on student affairs. . . . cheering the varsity boys at the football games, looking forward to our careers on the gridiron and basketball court. We subscribed to the Echo and backed the Rosemary. . . . started earning points for those G. A. A. and speech U’s (some of us made Delta Sigma!). . . . learning “hic-haec-hoc. the mysteries of that un- known quantity “x , and following Ivanhoe and the Ancient Mariner in their adventures. At the end of the year, we displayed our brilliance by a large membership in Alpha. Yes. we were the freshmen (no one let us forget it), but we got off to a grand start and acquired those qualities of leadership needed by upperclassmen. MRS. SCHWABE'S HOME ROOM Rot tom roiv—Stone.

Busy? We certainly were. In the fall we joined the freshmen to produce a super dramatics night. Talent was dug out of our ranks to entertain the rest of the school in an outstanding assembly, too. Throughout the year we served on committees, backed the plays and dances, and did our share of the cheering for the teams. . . . Taking our place on Rosemary and Echo staffs .... becoming active members of Student Council .... proudly wearing bright orange “U’is”. . . . cramming for Latin tests, wondering why Caesar was ever born .... constructing complicated figures in geometry . . . . trying to absorb the wonders of the rise and fall of Napoleon. Little screams floated out into the halls from the biology lab as our girls dissected frogs. Even the brave (?) boys grew shaky as they mounted the stage in speech class.

You must have, for they were everywhere—club meetings, athletic events, committee meetings, and plays. Junior drum majorettes marched proudly down the field before the band in their attractive outfits of white and gold. After electing their class officers, the juniors pre- sented an outstanding Junior Dramatics Night. Then came the selection of class rings—the class play with try-outs, rehearsals, stagefright. ad libs, and finally that hard earned applause. In the spring, work- ing together to produce the best prom ever. . . . studying Macbeth's gruesome tactics in English Litera- ture. . . . learning in Civics that crime does not pay. . . . rushing to club meetings and athletic practices (we were well represented on the varsity squads). . . . hurrying to meet publication deadlines. . . . cap- turing chairmanships and holding offices. . . . The juniors have made a lot of progress since first coming through the doors of UHS and are worthy of the honor that comes with being sophisticated seniors. MISS GROSS’S HOME ROOM Bottom row—Halpcr.

DRAMATICS NIGHT Freshman-Sophomore Dramatics Night was given to en- able the freshmen and sophomores to receive experience in acting and begin to earn points for admission to the dramatics honoraries. Although the juniors presented a class play, it was decided that in order to give them more opportunity to act. a junior dramatics night would be presented. Four one- act plays, some comedies and some serious, were coached by members of the dramatics class. Plays presented at the Fresh- man-Sophomore Dramatics Night were “Jerry Breaks a Date. “Elmer and the Lovebug. “A Mind of Her Own.” and “The Cloak of Evil. a serious play. Presented by the juniors were the following: “All Carrs to the Rescue.” “Fred- erick.” “Coming 'Round the Mountain.” and the serious play. “Stars of Valor.” Although both the coaches and actors were inexperienced in their respective fields, they combined hard work and enthusiasm to produce an evening of pleasant entertainment.

Powell. Rodebush. Skroder In answer to the students’ demands for more assemblies, a well-rounded program was planned for the year. Teachers and pupils combined their talents to provide entertainment during assembly periods. During the year, each class assembled the best talent among its members to furnish one program. En- tertainment was not always the purpose of the assemblies, however. Mr. Keilholz. a member of the Board of Education, related the highlights of his tour of England to us in one fall assembly. To help observe national holidays, the ministers of our churches prepared impressive and inspiring programs at Easter and in observance of World Day of Prayer. The hours spent in our auditorium were happy and benefi- cial ones that we shall never forget. Dick Hall . . . some salesman! LORETTA Walton WE STUDY LANGUAGES Miss Hill's German Class Retaining the popularity they have always had, the French classes completed another suc- cessful year of study. The instructors. Miss Buck and Miss Moore, were very busy with projects to earn money, help with the war ef- fort. and provide a good time for their students. Class periods were usually spent on transla- tions and the conjugation of verbs, but fre- quently the pupils were entertained with inter- esting stories of their instructor's travels. People walking through the halls often heard strains of French songs coming from the classrooms. Although the language proves to be difficult to learn, students always enjoy the fascinating study of the people of France. Qesiman. Man Deutch Spricht!—one speaks German. This was the aim of the German department. When a student entered the German classroom, he began talking German. Classes brought let- ters which grandparents or parents received from Germany. They also brought to study anything sent from Germany. Writing papers entirely in German script were required from everyone. All headings on daily work were written in German. You can see by these proj- ects that the German department, taught by Miss Hills, is active in promoting the German language. Miss Moore's French Class I 24 1 Qnestcli NICHT WAHR? ODI! Jlaiift befuM-ttnent Just as in previous years, this year's Latin students found the study of Caesar and his cam- paigns hard but exciting. Delving into the in- tricacies of Latin warfare, they found many similarities between Ca?sar’s strategy and meth- ods of warfare employed today. In spite of the fact that Latin is a dead language. Miss Kirk's pupils proved they were very much alive by their many activities. The second year stu- dents reorganized Phi Epsilon before initiating Miss Kirk s Latin Class the new freshman pledges. Many times pupils could not understand the many phases of this language, but they studied harder and completed the year with a better knowledge of Latin. Yes. the course is a hard one, requiring many hours of study, but Urbana students continue to find it interesting. Miss Buck s Spanish Class Because of the popularity of the Spanish lan- guage, courses in it were offered to students again this year. Pupils enrolled in the course found it extremely fascinating to try to master the strange mixture of sounds used by their South American neighbors. In order to intro- duce the Spanish influence into their classrooms. Miss Moore and Miss Buck kept large posters from South America on the walls of their rooms. A better understanding of the language and the people who speak it was gained from the descrip- tions the instructors gave of their travels in Latin America. Since the music of the Spanish speak- ing nations is beautiful, on many days the classes devoted the period to singing some of their songs. In keeping with the language, the stu- dents celebrated Christmas by breaking the pinata with a stick and scrambling for the candy which fell to the floor. Sp.atu U be-fLOA-Unent ( 25 ] M tltemaiicA. AND MATH, TOO More and more emphasis has been placed on mathematics. To meet these growing demands several changes were made in the mathematics department this year. The freshmen were still trying to find what X equalled and the sophomores asked Do we have to know all these theorems? For those who did not wish to take algebra, a general mathematics course was offered. Advanced algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry classes were taught for those who were especially interested in mathematics and practical application was stressed in these courses. Two new courses were open to seniors. They were pre-induction mathematics and senior mathe- matics. The pre-induction course dealt with basic mathematics used in industry and warfare. Espe- cially for senior boys who expected to go into service, it also included industrial application in aero- nautics and navigation. The senior mathematics course included a review of advanced high school mathematics with some college mathematics and air and sea navigation. Our math department is surely doing its share to train the citizens of tomorrow. Advanced Algebra Class Mrs. Hulet's Geometry Class I 26 J DABBLE IN PAINT befui tment Each morning the art classes were found busily at work on their art projects. After learning the basic principles of coloring, designing, and lettering, the art pupils had a better understanding of the study of art. One of the interesting parts of their year's work was portrait-drawing, the class making portraits of each other. Various other projects carried out were the making of Christmas cards, doing clock printing, making monotypes, and drawing brilliant posters. After their one-year art course, under the direction of Mrs. Johnson, these students don't claim to be future Van Dykes, but they do have a bet- ter understanding and appreciation of art.

Hornor’s Civics Trial Social Science befiGSittnent History classes at Urbana traced man’s progress from primitive life to the present day. Miss Law- son carefully presented the fascinating story of life in the ancient world. Continuing with the story of man’s development. Miss Wood conducted discussions of Modern History. Students desiring only a one- year course delved into the study of World History. In keeping with the ideals on which American gov- ernment is founded. Mrs. Chase’s American History classes were free to express their opinions on mat- ters concerning our country. Mr. Hornor’s civics classes held mock trials and classroom discussions concerning the intricacies of government. Although Economics is not required, many students found it helpful in understanding the business world. Some freshmen took advantage of the course in community problems, which helped them understand the needs and work of our community. I 28 ] ODR FOOTBALL COACHES Lew Stephens Athletic Director Putting aside the fact that Urbana is now rated the smallest school in the Big 12. our coach. Lew Steph- ens, took a group of inexperienced boys and molded them into a football team that won seven games while losing only two. This seemingly impossible task was only one of many accomplished by him since he took up the coaching reins at Urbana High School in 1925. During those nineteen years, his teams have won for him the respect and admiration of the larger schools as well as that of his close friends. After the Board of Education made the title of Athletic Director official, Lew turned over the coach- ing of basketball to his capable assistant, “Hank” Bothwell, only to find that the wrestling team needed a coach. So. for the duration. Lew will probably find himself as busy as ever. He has taken on the additional responsibilities with the same vigorous spirit that he has shown in all his work. Urbana has ample reason to be proud of Lewis Stephens and his fine record as well as the fine tradi- tions that have been built up by him and his teams. A newcomer to the coaching staff this year was Darrell Latham. Mr. Latham graduated from the University of Iowa, and spent several years coaching in various high schools in Iowa. From there he came to the University of Illinois to join the physical education staff. From this position he came to Ur- bana High School as assistant coach in football, bas- ketball. and track. Besides his coaching duties. Mr. Latham has a home room and a regular schedule of physical education classes. From the start he has shown that he has the qualities of a capable leader for our boys. During the football season, Mr. Latham coached the backfield. and in basketball he is in charge of the second team as well as the reserve team. One of his duties is to keep the coach informed as to the time left in the games and other facts that help make a successful team. After a good start, we are looking forward expect- antly to great things in the future from Mr. Latham.

A determined Tiger team took the field and in eight minutes fcad pushed across their first score. Two passes from Corray to Stevens, each good for 25 yards netted the first score and the same combination accounted for the other score in the second quarter. Jack Noonan sent the pigskin through the uprights twice to make the score 14-0 for the Tigers. A much improved Centralia team took the field for the second half and fought the Tigers to a standstill but were not able to cross the Tiger goal. “Red” Stevens once again took the top scor- ing honors as the Bengal team rolled over the Paris Tigers. 26-0. Scoring twice in the sec- ond quarter. Red ran his total to four touch- downs in two games. The first one came when he carried the ball on a reverse around left end to score standing up. His second touchdown was without a doubt the prettiest play of the evening. After two passes had failed to click. Corray flipped an underhand pass to Stevens who then fought his way 48 yards up the field for another touchdown. Jack Noonan kicked the extra point to make the score 13-0 as the half ended. A short pass from Corray to Dunn brought the next score shortly after the second half started. From there the second team took over, and it wasn’t long before they had fought their way to a first down on the Paris one-yard line. On the next play Wendell Kelley plunged over for the score. Noonan again converted to make the final score 26-0. Even before the start of the season, it was found that five of the probable first eleven would not be on hand to bolster the Tiger ef- forts in the 1943 football campaign. Frank D'Urso. who divided time with Don Pittman at one guard position last year, had joined the Navy. Orville Hewkin. who should have been one of the better fullbacks in the state this year, was in the Army. Emile Courtain, a second string back on last year’s Big Twelve Champs, was in the Air Corps. As if this wasn’t enough to turn a coach's hair grey. Dick Mason, second team center last year, was injured during the summer and would not be able to play. Aside from these few setbacks the Tiger outlook was fairly bright. Most of the undefeated reserve team were up for varsity trial and with the three lettermen and three or four boys with varsity experience, they would represent Urbana High on the gridiron. One of the early season goals of the Urbana team was to defeat Centralia. Four times Ur- bana and Centralia teams have met on the grid- I 32 1 Tom Wilcox Don DUNN Bill Hoag The Tigers opened their Big Twelve season with a decisive victory over Danville, 20-0. Although the breaks went to Danville in the first quarter, they failed to capitalize on them and the Bengals started a drive that eventually resulted in their initial score. With Corray leading the drive with his passing, the Tigers drove to the Danville two-yard line where Quarterback Lew Stephens. Jr., sneaked over to put the Tigers in the lead. 6-0. Late in the third quarter the Bengals scored again on a pass from Bill Brady to Don Dunn. Noonan kicked to make the score 13-0. On the next kickoff Stephens recovered a Danville fumble, and two plays later Corray went off tackle for 28 yards and another score. Noonan again converted to make it 20-0. A highlight of the game was Don Dunn’s showing in the punting department. In their second Big Twelve game of the season, the Orange and Black team defeated a young but game Mattoon team, 19-0. for their fourth win in as many starts. Coached by Jimmy Easterbrook. a former star and coach at Urbana, the Green Wave gave its homecoming crowd a thrill in the second quarter as they passed to the Urbana 15-yard line, the closest any team had come to the Tiger goal. The threat ended as the Tiger defense tightened, and the Mattoon team failed to make the required yardage for a first down. T he expected passing-duel failed to unfold as the Tigers worked to improve their ground attack. Only four passes were thrown by the visiting Tiger team with but one of them being com- pleted. The Orange and Black scoring was done in each of the first three quarters. Cor- ray started it with a seventeen-yard run as the first quarter ended. Noonan made his only successful placement of the night to make the score 7-0. Kelley plunged through the Mattoon defense from the five-yard line for the second score, and Dunn furnished the third counter as he scooped up a blocked punt and streaked 42 yards into pay-dirt territory. Another Tiger drive moved the ball to the Mattoon 20-yard line when the final gun sounded. When the Urbana grid machine struck swiftly to score twice in the first quarter, and then coasted to an 18-0 victory over West- ville. it was the hundredth win for Coach Lew Stephens since he came to Urbana in 1925. For the second straight game, the Tigers neglected their fine passing offensive and continued to work on their running at- tack. Corray and Brady were the leading ground gainers as the Orange and Black team I 33 ] tried only five passes. Corray started the scoring with a seven-yard plunge after an Urbana drive of 41 yards. Bill Stevens scored thirteen plays later as he plunged through the Westville line to make the score 12-0. Midway in the fourth quarter Kelley passed to Dunn for a 22-yard gain, and then drove hard to cross the Westville goal for the final score. A safety in the last two minutes of play gave Decatur a 14-13 victory over the hard-fighting Tigers. The defeat stopped several Bengal records. It was their first loss of the season as well as their first Big Twelve setback. Decatur was also the first team to cross the Tiger goal. However, the Bengals out- played them. Neither of the Red touchdowns came as the result of a long drive. The first was the result of an intercepted pass, the second came after a blocked punt. On the other hand, the Tigers rolled up twelve first downs to Decatur's six. gaining 248 yards to 121 for the Red’s, and completed ten passes to six. The Bengals drove to the Decatur five-yard line twice and to the 16-yard line once, but failed on each of these attempts to score. The Tigers waged an up-hill struggle all the way because of a two touchdown lead Decatur had built up in the first half. Urbana’s first touchdown came after four beau- tiful passes by Corray. the last taking Kelley across the Red's goal. Red” Stevens plunged for the extra point to make it 1 2-7. At the start of the fiinal period, the Tigers scored their second touchdown but failed to make the extra point that would have tied the game. With a little over a minute to go. the Urbana team was ahead. 13-12. Then came the fatal play. The only bad pass of the game resulted in Brady being caught behind the goal for a safety to give Decatur the game. 14-13. The defensive play of Don Pittman stood out as the Urbana Tigers dropped their first game of the year. The Bengal team unleashed their passing attack again as they defeated their last non- conference foe, 1 2-6. In the Galesburg team, the Tigers ran into their toughest competi- tion yet encountered. The play of Tom Goble. Ted Himes. Don Pittman, and Don Dunn stood out as the Tigers came back after a slow start to down the courageous Galesburg eleven. The Streaks drew first blood after marching 60 yards with power plays through the line. In the second quar- ter a Tiger drive fell short, and Galesburg attempted to kick out of danger. Big Tom Goble broke through to block the kick, and Don Pittman fell on the ball behind the Galesburg goal for the Bengal's first score. I 34 1 Wendell Kelley Curtis Pennell jack Noonan In the third period Corray ended an Orange and Black drive with a trip across the Streak’s goal line to make the final score 12-6. The annual inter-city game with Champaign was a bitter pill for Urbana fans to swallow. The powerful Maroon team was too mature and had too many reserves for the Tigers who did not play their best brand of ball. Injuries in the backfield presented additional problems to Coaches Stephens and Latham. A Tiger fumble gave Champaign their first scoring opportunity. The second came after a punt exchange in which the Mraoons came out 20 yards to the good. The third was the result of an intercepted pass on the Urbana 39-yard line. The score was an exact reverse of the 1942 game when the Tigers, led by Pollard. Halberstadt, Stone. Hcwkin, and Company won on the Champaign McKin- ley field, 20-0. The loss was the second of the season and stopped all Tiger hopes for a share of the Big Twelve Championship. The Bengal team ended the 1943 campaign by playing their best game of the year as they defeated a keyed-up Lincoln team. 19-14. All of the Tigers played their best brand of ball as eighteen seniors bowed out with a record of seven wins against only two defeats. Bill Brady led the Bengal offensive while Corray hit nine of twelve passes and “Red Stevens turned in his finest running of the season. Don Pittman played his usual fine game and with AI Brown. Tom Goble and the rest of the Orange and Black line kept the Lincoln backs in hot water as they continually broke through to throw them for losses. The Tiger touch- downs were scored by Brady. Dunn, and Stevens with Brady scoring the extra point. Morris Leighton finally came into his own as he pulled down two of Corray’s passes and lacked only a yard of scoring on one of them. Ted Himes’ play was a fitting climax to an unusual season since this was his first year at center. Jack Noonan and Tom Goble held up the right side of the line with Curt Pennell replacing the injured Tom Wilcox. On the other side Ted Himes. Don Pitt- man, Al Brown or Francis Prather. Don Dunn, and Morris Leighton, carried the bur- den. In the backfield, Corray played full- back. Brady and Stevens halfbacks, with Lew Stephens, Jr., at quarterback. Wendell Kel- ley was perhaps the most valuable man on the team since he was the first replacement for any of the four backfield positions.

Following the cus- tom of the funny papers, each girl grabbed” a man. presented him with a corsage of fruits and vegetables, and escorted him to the dance. After crawling through Old Man Mose’s” Cave, the Lil’ Abners and Daisy Maes entered a miniature Dog Patch. A false ceiling of funny papers, life-size figures of Lil’ Abner and Daisy Mae. and the Kick-a-poo Joy Juice all added to the illusion created. The climax of the evening was the grand march led by Mr. Latham. After pass- ing before the judges. Lou Ann Huck and Tom Goble were chosen as typical of the funny paper characters.

In February the annual Donkey Basketball Game was held with seniors opposing juniors. In order to make the school more courtesy-minded. Cour- tesy Week was sponsored by Student Council. Dances sponsored were the Freshman Frolic, Sadie Hawkins Dance, and the Coronation Dance. Besides these activities, the sale of war bonds and stamps was carried on by members of the council. Our Student Council also took an active part in district and state meetings as a number of Urbana students hold state offices. 1 38 ) 7 tyall Pabttf PHI KAPPA • • • President..............................Ivan Warren Vice-President ........................

Each mem- ber had to work in the library a cer- tain number of periods and serve as an associate member one semester be- fore becoming a full member. The club through suggestions from teach- ers and students alike added over 300 new books to the library shelves. Now the library has a total of about 5,800 books. Ex Libris, sponsored by Mrs. Schwabe. did a splendid job taking care of the library and seeing that the latest books and articles were at the disposal of the students. This fall we discovered a new club being organized, and it seemed to have a very large membership for its first year in Urbana High School. Planning special talks and movies for their monthly meetings, the mem- bers of El Pasatiempo were busy all year. In keeping with an old Span- ish custom, the pinata was broken at the December meeting. In order to improve the members’ abilities to speak Spanish, all meet- ings were conducted by using as little English as possible. Miss Buck, the sponsor, realized the necessity for maintaining high standards for mem- bership in the club, and persons de- siring to join had to have average grades, a knowledge of the language, and a real desire to further interest in Spanish.

Because of changes in the scouting program, we had two troops this year. Those girls who had completed their senior service course formed Troop Four, devoting their time to Red Cross, hospital work, and the wing scout program. Wing Scouting, taught this year for the first time, is made up of the fundamentals of flying. Girls who had not earned their senior service awards took a series of les- sons on defense work and first aid. Both troops, under the sponsorship of Miss Wood, tried to follow the Girl Scout slogan. Be Prepared. A Girl Reserve will try to be Gracious in manner Impartial in judgment Ready for service Loyal to friends Reaching toward the best Earnest in purpose Seeing the beautiful Eager for knowledge Reverent to God Victorious over self Ever dependable Sincere at all times The Girl Reserves planned a busy schedule for the year. Among their many activities were bandage rolling, making cookies for the U. S. O.. and having a number of parties. Living up to the Girl Reserve code, the club prepared a Christmas basket for a needy family. GIRL RESERVES Bottom row—Hackctt. Colbert. Miss Lawson. Wallace. Ryan. Top row—Lauchncr. McClellan.

Because of the need for better health, sports were planned so that every girl might participate and keep physically fit. New and different ac- tivities introduced were tumbling, so- cial dancing, recreational games, and track and field sports. In addition to these sports, the seasonal program of the club was followed. Besides the regular meetings, members en- joyed many social functions, such as the Buddy Picnic in October and the Snow Ball in December. Initiation Carrington. Bosley. Wallace. Stice. Downs.

Every girl was eligible for member- ship. since there were no special requirements. Last fall. S. K. sponsored the annual Big-Little Sister Hop. New students and freshmen girls were paired off with an old member to enjoy an afternoon of dancing, entertainment, and games, followed by refreshments. The purpose of the hop was to acquaint the new girls with the school and with each other. Other social activities in the fall were after-game football hops, assemblies with guest speakers, and after-school hops. The one activity in the winter months is the sponsoring of basketball hops. Spring brought such activities as the Spring Dance, a tea for the members and any new students, the election of next year's officers, and the annual May Breakfast held in honor of the senior girls. This club, under the direction of Miss Fisher, maintained the social life at Urbana High School. OlEICERS TRIMMING Christmas Tree Bottom row—Mitchcm. Pilchard, J. Williams, J.

The characters of this comedy produced many laughs. Sir Anthony Absolute, played by Jack Kennedy, was one of the main characters of the play. He played the part exceptionally well, and drew applause many times from the audience. Martha Holmes, who was cast as Mrs. Malaprop, the famous comic character of fiction, lived her part every minute of the play, and with her long words and affected girlish manner, drew laughs throughout the comedy. Jim Tabaka was excellent as a bow-legged country bumpkin. Bob Acres. Peggy Hackett played well the part of the spirited, romantic Lydia, and Mark Reinhardt, who was cast as her lover, Captain Jack Absolute, was a perfect young gentleman. Barbara Holland portrayed the role of well-poised Julia. Charles Kinnear was excellent as his friend, the serious Faukland.

Hank” Bothwell once again proved himself to be a fine leader for our boys: one to be respected and admired, not only as a basketball coach, but as a gentleman. His influence upon all who knew him cannot be over-estimated. While his team did not go to the State, it built up a record of which Urbana can well be proud. Besides spending much of his time in the gym. Hank also coached the reserve football team, helped with the track team, and taught mathematics during school hours. This year may prove to be Hank’s last at Urbana High School, at least for the duration, since he is expecting a call from Uncle Sam.” Hank's character can not be too highly praised when we realize that he gave up a possible commission to take a chance on finishing the season with the basketball team. All Urbana wishes to express its gratitude to a true friend and a faithful coach. We all hope that this year will not be your last with us.

SECTIONAL Cissna Park The Urbana Basketball Team opened its 1943- 44 season with a 32-25 victory over Sadorus. The team play was about as was expected with the Tigers showing great improvement as the game progressed. In the second game of the season, a fourth quarter rally by St. Joseph gave the Tigers their first defeat of the season. The Tigers' scor- ing declined with the quarters to where they did not score in the last eight minutes of play. A bright spot in the Bengal peerformance was the rebounding of center Morris Leighton. Against Centralia the Urbana team played championship ball for two quarters and then coasted to a 34-20 victory. With Coach Hank Bothwell confined to the hospital after an emer- gency appendectomy, the team was handled by Athletic Director. Lew Stephens. A 25-5 half- time lead enabled Stephens to substitute freely during the second half. The teamwork of the Bcngals was especially pleasing to the Urbana fans. In their first Big 12 game, the Tigers were handed a 44-26 setback by a strong Danville team. They were able to take only 41 shots as compared to 63 that the Maroons took. Bill Stevens played the best game for the losers, particularly in the third quarter when he made nine points in eight minutes. Lew Stephens. Jr., was unable to see much action because of the recurrence of a knee injury received in football. A substitute guard, Tom Goble, proved to be 1 51 } the star of the game as he led the Tigers in a last quarter drive to defeat Onarga Military School. 46-29. Bill Stevens was the high scorer with 12 points. Playing their first game on the Urbana High court, the Urbana Tigers defeated a highly rated Decatur team, 28-24. All the Tigers played well as they proved that they were capable of beating the best Big 1 2 had to offer—if they performed at their best. The two smallest schools in the Big 12 met. with Lincoln coming out on top with a 33-31 win. While the Tiger shooting on the whole was “off”. Coach Bothwell felt that the play of Morris “Brud’’ Leighton and Bill Brady was “tops”. Both were getting more than their share of rebounds as well as hitting the hoop for 1 1 and 8 points respectively. In their first game of the Mt. Vernon holiday tournament the Tigers lost to the undefeated Pinckneyville team, 43-39. Corray proved to be the star of the game as he scored 19 points. Staging a terrific fourth quarter rally, the Orange and Black team brought the Pinckneyville lead from 1 3 points at the third quarter to 2 points, with a minute left to play. With another two or three minutes, the score would have been different, as the Pincks were tiring fast while the Tigers con- tinued to improve. The Tigers once again played championship ball as they defeated University High of Normal, 54-29. The Bengal quintet clicked on all five as each member of the starting team contributed at least five points. Brady and Kelley led the Orange and Black scoring with 14 and 1 1 points. Advancing to the consolation championship, the Tigers defeated a strong Belleville team. 44- 30 as Bill Stevens led the way with 18 points on seven field goals and four free throws. Corray and Kelley came next with 11 and 9 points, re- spectively. In the Consolation tilt the high-flying Tigers easily outplayed and outscored Effingham. 51-36. The Urbana scoring was outstanding as Corray hit 18 points. Stevens 15. and Brady 12. The Tigers also reached a new peak in teamwork as they worked “set-ups,” fast-breaks, and rebounded superbly. Despite the absence of four players, the Urbana Tigers built up a large first-half lead and staved off a determined Paris rally in the second half, to win 36-28. Corray led the Urbana scoring with ten points, while Brady and Leighton each got eight. The defending State-Champions were never within reach of the Tiger-scoring after Tom Wilcox broke a 2-2 tie early in the game. The five-game winning streak was snapped as Clinton eked out a 36-34 victory in the first over- time game of the Tiger season. The free-throw line once again proved to be the deciding factor as the Tigers outscored the Clinton team from the field. Wendell Kelley, just recovering from a tus- sel with the flu. put in three baskets in the last two minutes to bring the score to a tie as the regular playing period ended. A basket by a Clinton dur- ing the overtime proved to be the margin of de- feat for the Tiger team. Bill Stevens bowed out of the Urbana lineup by taking scoring honors for the evening with 13 points. It was strictly the Navy's gain and Urbana’s loss when “Red I 52 ] signed up with a new boss for the duration. It was also the second straight year that Urbana has lost its high scorer to “Uncle Sam” in the middle of the season. With Red went Tom Goble, not a starter, but nevertheless, a valuable link in the Urbana chain. Replacing these two boys proved to be one of Coach Bothwell’s toughest problems. The Bengal team warmed up for the Champaign game by rolling over Fisher, 51-27. There was never any doubt about the issue as the Tigers built up a 13-point lead in the first quarter and then moved out in favor of the reserves. Tom Wilcox led the Orange and Black scoring with 1 2 points, and Curt Pennell held runner-up honors with 8 points. In their first meeting with our neighbors, the Tigers overcame a Champaign lead, and had the game within their grasp, with fifteen seconds re- maining to be played. Then came a loose ball, followed by a shot, and the game was tied up. In the over time, the Tigers were unable to score, while the Maroons made three points to win. 29-26. Brady and Leighton led the Tiger scor- ing with 7 and 6 points. A well balanced offense and a tight defense enabled the Tigers to roll over Mattoon. 44-14. Every player scored as the Orange and Black team jumped off to an early lead and increased the mar- gin with each quarter. In one of the most surprising upsets of the sea- son. the Urbana Tigers outplayed and defeated the Decatur Reds by a 45-19 score. Corray and Wil- cox proved to be the stars of the Urbana offense as each of the starting five scored well. This game, the second Big 12 loss for Decatur, was the last Decatur was to lose in Big 12 competi- tion—both losses being to Urbana. With the second team playing half the game, the Urbana team defeated a stubborn Sadorus team. 36-25. It was Urbana’s third game on their home court, and left them with a still per- fect record for their home games. “In order to win you have to hit the basket more times than the other team.” The Tigers realized the truth in this statement after they had had one of their poorest evenings in the shooting department and had lost to Champaign. 45-31. The Tiger cause was hampered by the fact that center “Brud” Leighton spent most of the eve- ning on the bench with four fouls. It was a closer game than the score would seem to indi- cate with the Tigers remaining a constant threat until the closing minutes of the game. Going from one extreme to another, the Or- ange and Black team rolled along at a neat .409 clip to defeat a game Tuscola team. 50-41. Bill Brady hit his peak as he pushed in 1 8 points, to take scoring honors for the evening. A fourth quarter rally led by Lew Stephens. Jr., enabled the Tigers to slip past Danville by a 29-28 count. Overcoming a ten-point lead in the last five minutes, the Tigers put the finishing touch on the contest as Bill Brady sank a free- throw with only two seconds remaining. Little Lew was definitely “on” as he hit six out of seven shots, five for five coming in the last quar- ter rally, that netted 18 points for the Bengal team.

Under the capable leadership of Darrell Latham, the Tiger Cubs went through a twenty-game schedule, winning 14. while losing only 6. As a fitting climax to a fine season, they defeated the Champaign Reserves, who had previously won two games from them. Outstanding for the Cubs throughout the season were Dick Leighton.

Different acts representing the sections of the book were given. Students, athletes, and teachers all participated in skits devoted to their respective sections of the yearbook. Remember Lew’s dreams about his football players the night before a game? This far-fetched skit was presented by Tom Wilcox as Lew Stephens. Sr., and the other foot- ball players. Each class was represented by some musical talent —a marimba solo, a piano solo, and a vocal duet were featured. Also, the new song, I'm Going to Buy a Rosemary,” was introduced by Dick Wilhite, amid sighs and screams from a audience of swooning girls. Other well-remembered characters who played important roles were the teachers’ chorus, the barber- shop quartet, and “Aunt Millie” with her chewing gum. Barber Shop Quartet Hadden. Hornor. Sexton.

Like the chorus, full band rehearsals were held three days a week, with ensembles practicing on the other days. Play- ing for assemblies, marching at football games, and parading on national holidays were only a few of the many activities of the band. Small units of the band played at pep rallies, pep assemblies, and at basketball games. Many members entered solo and ensemble contests. Besides the regular spring concert the band, along with the chorus, presented a Sunday afternoon program. Urbana High was very fortunate in securing Haskell Sex- ton as music director. During his first year at Urbana. Mr. Sexton has done a splendid job of improving both the chorus and the band. THE URBANA HIGH SCHOOL BAND I 56 ) l fnhana Concept Hand Flutes Latowsky. Joan Wallace.

THE URBANA HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS [ 59 ] We Practice Speaking Miss harmison’s Speech Class Speech ejZGSit+ne+it The speech, dramatics, and stagecraft classes constitute the speech department, which is responsible for all dramatics activities at Urbana High School. Perhaps the busiest class is the stagecraft class. Mix- ing paints, building scenery, painting flats, and keeping the stage clean are only a few duties of this busy group. All scenery for dramatics presentations is made by this class, under the supervision of Mrs. Hamilton. Besides presenting “Incognito” and “Rumpelstiltskin” the dramatics classes presented several one-act plays for organizations in Urbana. Speech classes learned the fundamentals of good speech and did some radio work. It is easy to tell that the speech department, taught by Mrs. Hamil- ton and Miss Harmison, plays an important role in daily life at Urbana High School. 1 60 1 Poetry, Themes, Grammar ZtUfUiU 2) ep.aAtme it MISS BlEDERMANN’S RHETORIC CLASS Since three years of English are required, the students of Urbana High School spent much of their time studying that particular subject. With the utmost patience, the pupils struggled to master the prin- ciples of writing and learned to appreciate the works of great men. Memorizing lines of poetry, remembering the difference between phrases and clauses, writing speeches and biographies, and learning to match authors with their works were all a part of the English courses. The freshmen learned their grammar and excitedly followed the adventures of Ivanhoc” and The Ancient Mariner. while the sophomores polished up on their grammar one semester and then exhibited it in their speeches the next semester. The juniors read the works of Chaucer. Pope. Shakespeare, and other famous writers of English literature, and those hardy seniors who ventured into rhetoric learned the principles of good writing. For those who were less daring, a study of the works of American writ- ers was carried out in American Literature. Although the students grumbled and complained about their English courses, most of them enjoyed learning more about their own language. Erich Jagendorf Turner.......... Miss Hildick ..

It was timely and fast moving, hardly letting one catch his breath for a moment. There were spies, cruel German officers, refugees, and all the excitement to keep the play at a high pitch. Every character was distinctly different and those students who portrayed these characters were excellent. In fact, each person did his individual part so well that no actor could be given extra recognition. For the many tense moments in Incognito,” there were the comical ones, too; thus, filling every second with pure enjoyment. INCOGNITO CAST Francisco. Stevenson, Kennedy. Alexander.

Champaign, and Rantoul were the main reasons for this in- crease in activity. The Freshman-Sophomore Dramatics Night, Christmas Dance, and the Mid-winter play were given just as in other years. About forty lucky members went to Chicago the first of April to see the stage play. “Oklahoma.” The Thespians, students who fulfilled the qualifications for the National Dramatics Society, were a group of dramatic workers. The Thespian troup? gave their usual three-act play: however, this year a few one-act plays were given because of the service centers' great demand for good plays.

Difficulties presented themselves continually throughout the year, but the faithful staff workers continued their work, eventually completing in book form the entire year’s records. Because photographic supplies were limited, every effort was made to insure a flawless picture to eliminate the necessity of retakes. Besides picture-taking, long hours were spent on dummy lay-outs, soliciting ads, publicizing the book, and typing copy in order to meet the printer’s deadline. Students anxiously awaited their first glimpse of the smooth cover and new arrangement of the book. The 1944 Rosemary will long be remembered, for its records another year of war—the year that many of our class- mates joined the services. I 64 ] PtelentwiCf, the VeuPi The Echo Editor-in-Chief......

This year Student Council again sponsored the game, which is always eagerly awaited by students and faculty members. Dressed in overalls and plaid shirts, the senior daredevil” girls mounted their stubborn beasts to compete against a team composed of juniors and sophomores. In spite of the lack of coopera- tion in their donkeys, the seniors were victorious. The second and featured game of the evening was played by the upperclassmen boys. Although the rules governing the boys’ and girls’ games were the same, the second game proved to be just a little more exciting. Using all the tactics of guerilla warfare,” the senior boys again outwitted the juniors to end the evening with an undi- vided victory for the seniors.- Girl Donkey Riders Tabaka. Spaeth, Carrington.

Z1 Monk SpxvU Wrestling The Urbana Wrestling Team finished one of its most successful seasons with a record of seven wins against three losses. Two of these defeats were at the hands of Proviso, the 1943 State Cham- pions. The other setback was administered by the Champaign Maroons. The Tigers got revenge for this loss by conquering the Maroons in a later match, 19-7. This victory was probably the outstand- ing achievement of the season for the Tigers. Other victories were scored over Pekin. Bridgeport, and three over Danville. In the Big 12 Meet Ufcbana got second, with Pittman and Mason winning titles. Although the wrestling team suffered a tough blow when Orville Hewkin was inducted into the army last summer, they offered no alibis for their losses. Orville, a junior last year, was State Champion at 165. This year’s squad was built around two returning lettermen. Dick Mason and Don Pittman. Mason got fourth place in the State last year while Pittman lost only to the State Champion. Pittman was the only man to remain undefeated throughout the current season. Other boys on the squad were Bill Winkler, at 95: Bill Downs, at 105: Bob Burwell. at 115: Don Weller or Herschel Hinkle, at 125: Del- bert Foltz, at 135: George Hewkin or Glen Poor, at 145: Dick Mason, at 155: Jack Noonan or Philip Phillips, at 165: Don Pittman, at 175: and Francis Prather at the heavyweight division.

During the winter months, many of the clubs organized by the upperclassmen initiated freshmen and other new members. Some of the larger dinners were given by Delta Sigma and Phi Kappa. Although wartime rationing curtailed much of the formality of these banquets, new pupils still had the opportunity to enjoy the ritual of formal initiations. Delta Sigma pledges repeated the oath at the annual Christmas banquet held in the cafeteria before the Christmas dance. Skits were presented by the initiates for the enjoyment of the older members and officers. Phi Kappa neophytes were forced to put their knowledge of the French language into use as the program at the banquet was all conducted in French.

( 76 1 OUR SPRING SPORT As a somewhat late spring rolled around, Coach Stephens began his search for track material. Finding a decided lack of talent, he turned to a group of inexperienced boys, and in true Stephen's form, molded together a team with great possibilities. The Tigers' hopes were somewhat darkened when Don Pittman left for the Navy after winning both the shotput and discus in the Urbana Open. Don, a letterman. had been counted on for many first places throughout the season, and his loss was a severe blow to the Tigers. Bill Brady was by far the outstanding runner on the team and showed early in the season that he had the qualities of one of the better milers in the state. Besides Pittman and Brady, the other returning lettermen were Steve Pcl- afos, Larry Corray, and Jack Noonan. Other boys showing great promise were Jerry Reichard. Bob Jessup. John Lewis, Dick Klockner. Dick Spitz, and freshman Bobby Clark. Clark showed up well against the older boys and with continued improvement, should prove to be one of Urbana's numer- ous track stars. 1 77 1 FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE SCHEDULE APRIL 13 Dual Meet (Urbana and Thornburn).........at Urbana 1 8 Danville and Urbana .................. at Danville 24 At Rantoul MAY 2 At Monticello 8 Rantoul .............. 15 Monticello and Rantoul 17 Rantoul Invitational at Urbana at Urbana at Rantoul Lewis High Jump I 78 J With Glubi, auxi Balli.

Many a young boy has dreamed of the day when he could put on his U” sweater for the first time. It is an honor that few boys attain. This year’s officers were Bill Brady, president; Dick Mason, vice-president: and Bob Weller, secretary- treasurer.

Under the direction of Mrs. Hasty and her student assistants, the girls learned to live more satis- factorily in their present homes and to be better homemakers in the future. Work, activity, and learning through actual experience were all a part of the Urbana High School homemaking program. The Home Economics Club was a favorite one among the girls here at Urbana High. Girls planned and made refreshments for the monthly parties. In addition to the delicacies made for their own use. the members met and baked cookies to be sent to the USO cookie jar.

I 81 ] Future Business Leaders ■ Miss Fisher’s Shorthand Class Mrs. Applemans Typing Class The Commercial department—shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, and commercial law—gave students basic training in the fundamentals of business. Manuscripts, perfect copying, and restrictions of the numbers of erasures were only a few of the many worries of first year typing students, trying to develop speed and accuracy at the same time. In advanced secretarial training classes, even more complications present themselves. Carbon copies, practice drills for speed, and long transcription lessons are added to the program. Advancing the pupil's skill in stenographic practices is the purpose of the secretarial training classes. Bookkeeping classes practice all year on the fundamentals of financial records. Although they do not hope to be public accountants, they do have enough knowledge of the subject to keep most office records. Commercial law emphasizes the respect for government and legal aspects of business. When a student graduates from UHS's commercial department, he is well equipped with a basic knowledge of the business world. Mrs. Fleming's Bookkeeping Class Gammesicial bejiaAtme+tt [ 82 ] Theories, Experimenting . . . Miss McClurg's Biology Class More important then ever in 1943-1944, the science department led students to a better understand- ing of their physical surroundings. Biology students enjoyed field trips in the spring and fall, when they observed flora and fauna at Crystal Lake and sketched plant life around the school and Carle Park. Amoe- bas and other microscopic animals were observed, frogs dissected amid screams from the girls, and many other interesting discussions carried on in the laboratory under Miss McClurg's guidance. Miss Gross taught physiology students the science of good health, with experiments on such subjects as nutrition, posture, circulation, and breathing. In physiography, classes learned of the ever-changing structure of the world. Mr. James' intelligent chemistry students, in spite of their little escapades with Bunsen burn- ers and yards of tubing, absorbed a surprising amount of technical and practical knowledge. Physics students spent their class periods conducting lab experiments and learning to operate equipment.

MflIlUfll Arts The Manual Arts department, under the capable leadership of Mr. Bennett, furnished boys with a general knowledge of mechanical drawing, electricity, metal work, and wood work. The boys pay a small laboratory fee for the course and buy all materials used in the various projects. All projects are things that can be used in the family home, such as tables, book ends, and cedar chests. Although the boys make these things in their classes, the war is uppermost in their minds this year. The department carried out a very interesting and educational program on war subjects. Textbooks cen- tered about the pre-induction program set up by the government for boys expecting to enter the armed forces, were used. Mechanical drawing, blue print reading, pre-induction metal work, electricity and wooodwork all require extensive use of tools, which the boys were taught to care for carefully. Besides the regular classroom work, many of the boys did some outside work. Lapboards, writing- boards. reading-rack attachments, and splints were some of the many war articles made. The boys tried to help fill a quota set up by the American Junior Red Cross. Though the course deals primarily with the knowledge needed before entering the armed forces, the information gained will be very valuable later in life. MR.

This play, an annual affair, was sponsored by the Children's Theater Board. Two performances were given at Urbana High School and one at Champaign, with some 2,000 grade school children seeing the play. Carrying out the fairy tale motif, the stagecraft class made a set of candy sticks and cup-cakes for design. The story, centering about Rumpelstiltskin, is of a miller’s daughter who promises the dwarf her first- born child. When the daughter learns his name, Rumpel is overcome with anger and flies to pieces. The effective stage-lighting and the realistic manner in which all parts were portrayed made this play one of the best presented for the Children’s Theater. RUMPELSTILTSKIN CAST Ott. Long. Sizemore.

Worschatz Verein with six first-year members, and Girl Scouts. Delta Sigma, and Library Club each having three fresh- men members. Two freshmen Latin Students. Jim Tabaka and Virginia McElrath won district Latin con- tests and competed in the sectional Latin contest at Charleston. A few of us who were musical took an active part in the music department. Fourteen members played in the band and two were in orchestra. Twenty-three freshmen sang in the mixed chorus. Both Ruth Fehner and Shirley Stone were mem- bers of the girls’ octet which participated in sev- eral contests. When the football season opened, nineteen in- experienced boys were placed on the freshman- sophomore squad. This team enjoyed an unde- feated season, winning eight straight games. The freshman-sophomore basketball team also had a successful season with twelve wins and three de- feats. Six freshmen went out for wrestling, two participated in swimming, and twelve joined the track team. With Bob Weller winning his minor “U.” we had the first “U” winner of our class. We ended this thrilling, enjoyable year by hav- ing thirty-six members in Alpha, freshman hon- orary society. One year down and three to go! After again acquainting ourselves with the school and our new schedules, we began our many and varied extra- curricular activities. By an election in the latter part of the previous year, our new Student Coun- cil representatives met to make plans for an event- ful year. Meanwhile, the clubs were starting membership campaigns to enlarge their clubs. The three language clubs. Phi Epsilon. Phi Kappa, and Man Sprecht Deutsch. elected some of us as offi- cers. Joan Koehler was elected president, and Janet Paton was chosen program chairman of the German club. In Phi Epsilon. Bob Weller was selected as vice-president. Furthermore, the Home Ec Club had some of their officers from our class. They were Mary Myrth Wallace, vice-president: Jackie Colbert, program chairman: Lillian Alford, state vice-president, and Jackie Colbert, vice-presi- dent. Other clubs in which we were also interested were Girl Reserves, with eleven members. Girl Scouts with twenty-three members. Hi-Y with six. Camera Club with four members, and Sci- ence Club with fourteen members. There were fifteen girls in S.K. and thirty-four girls in G.A.A. Dave Cunningham was the only member on the Fcho staff and three of us were on the staff of the Rosemary. In the dramatics department we were beginning to take varied interests. Debate and Panel Discussion had five members and Delta Sigma had seven. The annual Freshman-Sophomore dramatics night included seven fellow classmates.

Dick, the year before. It was the first case of two brothers holding the captaincy two consecutive years.

The attractive, young vivacious girl weighs only three and one-half tons and is only a hundred and six yards in height. She has created an entirely new hair style—three-fourths of her hair is brunette, one-fourth is blonde, and the curly ends have a reddish cast. The gallant gentleman weighs four tons and reaches the height of 1 1 2 yards. He is a definite brunette having seven blond hairs and only one red hair. After carefully reviewing our four years in high school, we cannot help but remark that these years will always remain among our most treasured memories.

The result was a 48-46 victory over a strong Potomac team. A hard pill for the Tigers to swallow was the 28-24 defeat at the hands of Mattoon. The team had an unusually cold evening, and was unable to overcome a first quarter lead that the keyed-up Green Wave obtained. Only the scoring of “Brud” Leighton was up to par as he scored ten points for one of his better evenings of the season. Wendell Kelley led the Tiger scoring as the Urbana team bumped off Rantoul 43-16 for their sixteenth victory of the season. The only player on the bench who didn’t sec action was Tom Wil- cox. who was resting a bad ankle. Too many fouls and a Charleston fourth quar- ter rally gave the Tigers their first loss of the sea- son on their home floor. With two regulars out on fouls the Bengal team was unable to stop the Charleston rally in the last quarter. The free throw line proved to be the answer as Charleston collected 17 points to Urbana’s 9. Bill Brady led the Tiger scoring with 1 2 points, as the Tigers ended the regular season with sixteen wins and nine losses. The Tigers again proved themselves a tour- nament team as they rolled over Gilman. 57-32. in their first game of the regional tournament. The Orange and Black team displayed perfect teamwork as they set a rapid pace that soon left Gilman hopelessly behind. Wendell Kelley scorched the nets for seventeen points to lead the Tiger scoring. With Lew Stephens scoring 14. Bill Brady 12, the Bengal Tigers fought their way into the second round of the Paxton Regional Tournament. The improved Tigers had little trouble in dis- posing of Onarga. 55-18. as they continued to play a brand of ball that would take the heart out of any opponent. Brady and Corray led the Tiger scoring with 13 and 10 points, respectively. The second team took over late in the third quar- ter and continued to blast away at the goal. The play of Tom Wilcox was spectacular, as he made four baskets in the last eight minutes, while Don Dunn hit two beautiful shots and passed off to help set up several others. The Tigers must have had a warm spot in their hearts for the Paxton gym because they finished a perfect three-game series by defeating Gibson City, 61-45 for the Paxton Regional Tourna- ment Championship. For three quarters it was still a nip and tuck affair with the Bengal team pulling away only in the last few minutes. Cor- ray led the Tiger scoring with 16 points, followed bv Kelley. Brady, and Stephens with 12. 11. and 10 points, respectively. With four minutes to go the Tigers held a grim eight-point lead as Corray left the game with five fouls. Then the Tigers climaxed a wild shooting spree that netted a total of 21 points during the last eight minutes of play and came out victorious. “Brud Leighton was the unsung hero of the tournament with his fine re- bounding and spectacular defensive play. Ur- bana placed four players among the seven leading scorers of the tournament.

CHAMPAIGN-URBANA ALLIED PRINTING TRADES COUNCIL A Branch of the International Brotherhood of Printers and Pressmen I 125 ] CLASS PROPHECY I. the spirit of '44. being of sound mind and robust health, do bring you the story of the class of 1944, as seen in the year 1964. For several days I have been floating about the country gath- ering facts about our aging class members. I sol- emnly acclaim that the following account of my travels is definitely a true report. My story begins as. quote, “I was floating down the busy, bustling Fifth Avenue of that well- known metropolis. Meatball Junction, founded by none other than the former Lucilc Stice. She de- cided upon the site for this fair city when the plane piloted by speed demon Joe Gallagher crashed and left her marooned in front of the hut of hermit, otherwise known as Old Man Mose,” WikofT. It was rumored he was disappointed in love by that glamour girl of glamour girls, that exotic Jene (cutiepie) Lowry! (No! Mistake; it was that movie queen Jean Bosley!) This is not an average day for Meatball Junction for today is that great affair of the year—the crowning of that more than average meatball. Miss Meatball of Meatball Junction! I see the crowd moving up to the grandstand under the leadership of that benevolent mayor. Roy Sleeping Beauty Dun- lap. Taking advantage of the crowd, selling that well known Dr. James Martini’s Marvelous Mix- ture for Measly Maladies are those two emaciated, puny, weak, unhealthy speciments of humans (Did I say human?). Dr. Don Pittman and Dr. Albert Brown. Also taking advantage of the crowd, and applying his trade is James Slippery Fingers Tabaka. Floating down the street farther. I came to an abrupt halt in front of an imposing estab- lishment called The Doe. “Where ladies are girls and girls are ladies. I later learned that the joint” was managed by Dick Klockner. under the advisoryship of Mrs. Klockner. formerly Joan Koehler. I drifted into the interior and as the fog lifted, or should I say the smoke cleared. I viewed Jackie Colbert who is now (Pun!) in the doe! Ha! A short time later, riding the rods of the B. O. Railroad, owned by those great magnets Elmo Tindall and Fred Warnken. I reached out and scraped the dirt away from a nearby projection and found it to be Tom Young, the eminent pro- fessor in hobology. At the next station I was informed that our noble state governor. Jack Ken- nedy (well known Republican) was enforcing railroad reforms. Detectives, under the supervi- sion of super-detectives Dorothy Johnson and Ann Austin, snoop about railroad yards looking for such lawbreakers as myself. As our train pulled into a station. I heard a meek, timid voice whisper. “All out for New York.” I recognized the voice as that of—no it can’t be—Don Dunn! Walking about the sta- tion selling cigarettes was super-salesman Pat Ryan. I recognized soap box oratory Gordon Smith surrounded by a mob of Democrats. Latest gossip of the town is the discovery by Hollywood of Morris Leighton, who received his doctorate in bugology. -He will be featured in a dramatic production directed by that Alfred Hitchcock of tomorrow (which is. of course, to- day) Ivan Warren. Margaret Hackett, star of the latest Ziegfeld Follies Show, has been seen fre- quently with international playboy Curtiss Pen- nell. In the New York newspaper. “The Valentine Neios, owned by philanthropist Genevieve Valen- tine and managed by Virginia McElrath.

They have a battle with Jonathan Brewster, an escaped maniac played by Charles Francisco, to sec who can kill the most men. Jane Brown as Elaine Harper and Jack Kennedy as Mor- timer Brewster furnish the love interest in the play. Don Stevenson, who played the role of Teddy Brewster, believed that he was Teddy Roosevelt, thus adding humor to the play.
