It is modern in every respect and the people of Atwood have every reason to be proud of it. The grade rooms are on the first floor and the high school rooms, on the second. The high school has a well-equipped science room, large recitation rooms and an assembly hall. Besides the building, there is a large seven-acre campus In one corner of the campus is found a ball diamond; in another, a basket ball field; and in front, two tennis courts. No provision has been made this year for a track, but it is hoped there will be a good one next year. For the smaller children, swings, merry-go-rounds, and teeter-totters were purchased by the Mothers’ Club.

Died April 4, 1915. Fast as the rolling seasons bring The hour of fate to those we love Each pearl that leaves the broken string Is set in Friendship’s crown above. As narrower grows the earthly chain. The circle widens in the sky; There are our treasures that remain But those are stars that beam so high. — Oliver Wendel Holmes. LITERARY DEPARTMENT The Literary Societies Shortly after the school term opened in the fall, the faculty decided that two literary societies would be of great benefit to the high school as a whole. The students were accordingly divided into two equal groups, known as the Yamagata and La-delphia Societies. Each society elected officers, program committees and the society colors. The programs were held once every month, thus giving each society a chance to give four programs Each student was given a chance to appear, in different numbers, such as debates, declamations, essays, extemporaneous speeches and one or more electives. A special point was made to have a debate at the beginning of each program. A mock trial was given by the La-delphia Society and a short play by the Yamagatas. This play was also given at a meeting of the Mothers’ Club and at the high school box social. At the first of the term each society endeavored to place its colors on the school building. One society even posted its banner on the ceiling of the assembly room and the general effect may still be noticed. On the whole the societies were a success in that they proved a benefit to the students as well as recreation and a pleasure. The faculty too, contributed much towards making them a success by suggesting new ideas and helping the pupils select new work. Der Deutsche Verein Praesident - Beryl Quick Vize Praesident - - Joseph Cogdal Schrift fueherin - - Anna Dorjahn Der Deutsche Verein wurde im Yahre 1915 organisiert. Alle Studenten die Deutsch studieren, koennen Mitgleider des Vereins werden. Das Ziel des Vereins ist eine groesseres Interesse fuer die deutsche Sprache unter den Studenten zu foerdern. und den Mitgliedern mehr gewandheit in dem Gebrauch der Sprache zu geben. Die regelmaessigen Versammelungen werden alle zwei Wochen am Freitag Abend abgehalten, und jedesmal wird ein Programm gegeben. Fuer jedes englisches Wort muss man ein Strafgeld von einem Pfennig bezalden. Erfrishchungen werden jedesmal serviert. Ada Doty ’15. In a quiet sunny woodland Where violets sip the dew — And daisies and for-get-me-nots Are shaded in richest hue, Stands a vine covered cottage With brown eaves hanging low; It fills his soul with longing. He loves, he loves it so. Beneath its rustic portico, They have sat for many hours And reared their airy castles Doomed to vanish with the flowers. There in the twilight soft and gray Roma and John whiled the hours away. Anna Dorjahn T6. Ada Doty 15. Freshman Studies The first thing in the morning the last thing at night. Can you guess what that is? You can’t? Well let me tell you and then you’ll remember and say, “Why, of course, what was I thinking of? Of course, it’s Roman history. The reason that Roman history is placed first upon the program is: Children between the ages of 15 and 20 have a faculty of not getting up early in the morning, and when they arrive at school, they are often rubbing their eyes and looking so forlorn, that it makes one feel the same way, if one looks at them. Now Roman history is like a bucket of ice water thrown in one's face when one is least expecting it. It certainly wakes one up for all day and a few hours over, in which time one studies. You can imagine how much time one must spend at night studying in order not to be taken by surprise the next morning. The next thing is a brief period of time reserved for studying, while one is still wide awake. The teachers take advantage of the ice water and crowd two studies into one study period. They wish to gel in all the studying possible before one retires again. Algebra should really be studied the last thing before we are allowed to go home in the evening, so that our minds would be in good working order, should we have any business to transact. But children so small as we are, should not worry about business. Latin is edged in before noon so that we will have a good appetite. One has such a light empty feeling after one has escaped from the clutches of a dead language into a really live one. If Caesar only knew how hard it is to stumble over difficulties higher than the Alps mountains on nothing to eat, he would never have done such tricks so full of nonsense as Latin books accuse him of. He would not have even spoken that language. But it doesn’t bother us so very much, for the moment we hear the name of Caesar mentioned, we immediately forget there was such a man or such a name. All we can do is to live in expectation of the close of the hour. Oh! what a relief it is to think; no more Roman history; no more Latin today. But -well, thank goodness that we are given a period free from recitation before we must learn how to punctuate what I have already written. It’s English I’m speaking of. But cheer up everyone. English teachers especially. It's just as easy for me to say “aint” or “it looks like after an English class as it is before. Then after we are taught our manners, we are free to study, to play, to do whatever suits us best. Generally, one would think we would appreciate two whole periods free from recitation. But it is much harder to sit still and behave ourselves than to perform any other feat in the world. It’s a true accomplishment to be able to do so. IONE PlNCKARD ’18. Maurine has a little beau, Basil is his name, And everywhere that Maurine went Basil always came. An Ode to the Sun Thou cold, gray, lifeless sun that shone Thru threatening clouds with seeming groan. And the few bright rays that by thee were sent They cheered us when minds with trouble were spent. Now- those winter bonds have let thee free Your bright lace shines on flower and tree Each single bud with your warmth is blest, And the bird is smiled on in his nest. The grass, the woods they too feel your power. And the youthful maid who sits in her bower. The streams that by winter were held so fast Have gained their wanted freedom at last Thy smiling face has done all this Wrought beauty, happiness, and bliss Were I the owner of such fate, There would be two suns in one sun’s place. Vivienne Mosbarc.er T5. Fare you well, old Atwood High Happy days have we spent with thee Now from thy doors must we depart Leaving others to do our part. Oh! how strong the ties that bind us Such pleasant memories shall never die. All the class mates that we love High School rooms and teachers we adore Fare you well forevermore. Now from beneath thy sheltering roof we g To face the mighty problems of the world We cannot stay, it must be so Other fields are open calling to other duties High School days—what joys you’ve brought Even though the way was rugged We will cherish you and honor ne’er lack Farewell—old Orange and Black Fare thee well - fare thee well. Ada Doty T5. GLASS PROPHECY One night while sitting in my room And all about me shadowy gloom, Save where the dying embers playing My thoughts led. into far fields straying. While thus I sat so deep in thought It seemed as if a change were wrought; I now stood in a College hall Before a man, dark, stern and tall. ’’Prolessor Quick, I heard one say And then he smiled and looked my way. Of course this wasn’t a surprise. For Beryl always had been wise. Next I was in an audience great, In the Senate of the state. Who could move those men of stone But Johnny, Johnny all our own? All at once I heard soft strains, A voice that gave me thrills and pains. And looking up before me stood My classmate, Viv, from old Atwood. Then I went to some still home And walked around unknown. Saw the Doctor meditating on the case, While Effie fanned the patient’s heated face. Next before me in the firelight Stood a man of wondrous height, With medals on his breast, galore, Coach of Harvard, Mr. Moore. Again I saw far out on a plain. In a little log ' bunk'' always watching for rain A poor little maid who was lonesome and blue, Miss Doty by name, still winsome and true. And then a maid in a fresh gingham gown With the same old giggle and the same old frown. Who stood by a churn with a spoon in her hand Stevy is the happiest wife in the land. Next I saw a manly lad All in farmer’s clothes was clad, Herbie with his flowing curls Still as shy around the girls. A school ma’am next my vision gave Near a desk, so cool and grave, Several hands were in the air. Miss Call sighed in deep despair. Alas! my vision was growing dim But one more appeared very little and slim In his right hand a pill case hung by his side It was Mose just returned from a cold winter’s ride.' If these visions of mine should ever come true. Those same old things that are ever new. It will almost appear that I saw your fate While watching the embers there so late. SENIOR GLASS HISTORY For four years we have lived together almost as brothers and sisters under the protecting roof of A. H. S. and under the faculty's guiding hand. We have done nothing which the world can look back upon and call great, but tho' we have failed in a few things, yet have we succeeded in many. Our class is one of the largest that has ever graduated. But its greatness lies not only in its number. For did not the Board of Education, realizing our abilities and unusual talents, plan to have a new school in readiness that the class of 15 might be the first to leave its doors? We cannot help but feel, however, that it is an honor to be the first class to go out from the building, which is the envy of lesser schools, and which is. and should be, the pride of the community. When in the early fall of 1911. we, a wandering band of eleven green and badly frightened freshies, entered high school and wound our way to the so called assembly room, it was with loudly beating hearts that we took our appointed places. Our first year, tho' rather uneventful, was spent in absorbing all of the wonderful things which our instructors expounded. And, as a result. the class was declared exceptionally bright for freshies. The second year, altho two entered into the fields of matrimony, two more entered who soon became “close friends.” This year was spent in dealing with the freshies alter the manner in which the upper classmen had dealt with us. With the literary societies and social events, the Sophomore class was found by all to be anything but slow in taking to high school ways. One more entered our midst while we were Juniors, and we can safely say that a more lively class never existed. Altho' our then temporary home was a very humble and lowly building, we made the best of it, and can look back with pleasure on the happenings in the “sheep pen. The Juniors also felt proud when one of our number was given first place in the oratorical contest at Monticello. But when for the fourth and last time we started in again with the loss of two more of our members, we felt as only those who have been Seniors can feel. Perhaps the greatest trial for us to endure has been the programmes on which each had to appear four times. But the color rushes, parties and senior hilarios have greatly relieved the monotony of debates, orations and theses. Not to be satisfied with a popular play or a shallow comedy, we chose as our class play one of the classics, Dickens’ “Cricket on the Hearth.” The play was a success in every way. dJIllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIU; Class of 1915 = E Motto—Non est viveresed vale re v ita E E Colors—Blue and Orange = Flower—American Beauty Bose | E President—Beryl Quick = E Vice Pres. — Vivienne Mosbarger = 1 Secy afidI Treas.—Roma Calf TiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiE But now those times of work and pleasure are almost gone. We are considered as children no longer, but old enough and competent enough to choose for ourselves the vocation which we wish to follow, and to work to that end. As the class divides and each is occupied with the many callings that the world affords, let us take time to think back on those good old times that we have had together in A. H. S. And so, as we leave the care of the school and go out into the uncertainties of life, let us strive to overcome those difficulties that we cannot escape, and let us not forget the motto which as the class ol ’15 we chose, “Non est vivere sed valere vita.

We feel that we have derived an infinite amount of good from our training and instruction in A. H. S., and we can only regret that we have not taken advantage of more of the opportunities which have been presented to us. The many happy experiences we have had together will soon be but a memory. Our four years of school work have been busy ones and we are now striving for the goal, which means success to us when we will no longer be working as a class, but as individuals. But no matter where our different paths may lead us, the memory of the Orange and Black and the class of 1915 will always stay with us.

Prepared to learn of Scott and Keats, All clean-faced and thoroughly starched. Hearts a-throb. and each throat parched. When first we started into high. First we’d giggle, then we’d sigh. For all was strange and all was new. Teachers cross and good times few. We’d look in awe and mild surprise. When Seniors great would wink their eyes. Or send a note at lull-blown speed. Just for some silly boy to read. But alter while things got some better, Then each one jumped from his fetter. Went to laughing, talking too. It may seem awful, but it’s true. Teachers then, 'course they’d look mad. Then we’d look so sweet and sad That they couldn’t our feelings spurn But read in their eyes, “too green to burn” And so it’s been from that first day. We work awhile and then we play. But course we try to please “the three,’’ But that’s not easy, try and see. But just you wait a year or two Then we’ll show you what we’ll do Things uncommon, things, so great Sure, we’re growing at some rate. Teacher What periods do you like best, Miss Call. Ama (promptly) Recess, sir. A preposition is a “bad word to use in a sentence.— Mr. Weisiger.

It was given as a reception to the Freshman class. In spite of their great suspense an excellent time was enjoyed by all. During the evening a mock literary program was rendered by the Freshmen. At a late hour refreshments, consisting of lemon sherbet and wafers, were served. Freshmen Entertain On Dec. 21 the “Infant Class” returned the upperclassmen's party and from all appearance it was enjoyed, especially by those, who stayed for the “midnight lunch”. On Feb. 24 the Freshman girls entertained the Freshmen boys at the home of lone Pinckard. The teachers will be glad to know that the Freshmen left at a reasonable hour, even though there were some poor lessons the next day. The Spread After the game between Atwood and Villa Grove the girls of the high school planned a little “feast for the visiting and home teams. It was given at the school and all pres- ent enjoyed themselves, especially the girls. The visiting team was a bunch of jolly, good fellows in spite of their defeat. Wiener Roast On May 16 the Yamagata Literary Society was defeated in a track meet by the La Delphia Literary Society. In the evening the Yamagata Society gave a “wiener roast for the La Delphias. A splendid time was enjoyed by all, especially those who rode on the merry-go-rounds and “teeter-totters.” Junior-Senior On the evening of May 7 at home of Miss Anna Dorjahn the Juniors entertained the members of the Senior Class and the High School Faculty most delightfully The house was beautifully adorned, the dining room being artistically decorated with violets and the class colors. Shortly before the guests departed, a delicious three course supper was served, consisting of pressed chicken sandwiches, salmon salad, pickles, olives, ice cream, cake and grape juice. As the guests went homeward everyone thought that “Sixteen” had entertained them royally. New Facts Just Out. Benjamin Franklin discovered the University of Pennsylvania. Vivienne.

ATHLETIC NOTES Basket Ball The boys’ Basket Ball Team ended another successful season in spite of the fact that there were a few obstacles at the beginning of the school year. They were all old veterans but one, and it looked as if they would have a championship team. However Miss Fortune needed Bill and “Cliff’ to reap her harvest, and, since the battle was raging close at hand, Moore and Hines, the remaining two old “vets, shouldered their muskets and were on the march. Cogdal and Stitt, being two youths eager for a skirmish, joined the colors and were soon fighting notable battles. Biggs, being a retired warrior, worked with the team when defending the home city, but he never took a very active part when invading the enemy’s territory. He usually called out the reserve. In the first few games played, they used practically all new men with the exception of Captain Moore, the famous right forward, and Hines, the all state running guard. The position of left forward was filled by Stitt. Although his regular place was guard, he soon showed himself capable of filling this position and played a hard steady game. The position of center was rather doubtful in the minds of the citizens, but they were soon relieved, when Cogdal appeared on the scene with an unsurpassed touch off. and a steady nerve for shooting baskets. The only position now remaining vacant was that of left guard, but that was overcome when Biggs renewed his acquaintance with “L. G. The basket ball season of 1915 as a whole was made a brilliant affair by the management of Mr. Stitt and the excellent coaching of Professor Weisiger. Tennis For the first time in the nistory of the Atwood High School, tennis has been introduced as a real sport. At the beginning of the spring season, the girls organized a tennis club and elected officers. Although some difficulty was experienced in getting the tennis court in playing condition, nevertheless many fast and exciting games were played before the last ol the school year. Officers. President Anna Dorjahn Vice President Mary Louise Flickinger Secretary Maude Van Vleet Treasurer lone Pinckard Track This year, as well as in the past years, the Atwood High School has shown great interest and ability in track work. For instances of this fact, we might look back to the success with which the three representatives. Moore, Cogdal and Stitt met in the dual meet between the Arthur and Atwood High Schools; also, we must not forget the Tu cola ai d Atwood meet, the Piatt county meet and the interscholastics at Charleston and Urbana. The dual meet between Aithur and Atwood was very close in all respects especially since Arthur had many representatives and Atwood had only three men. Our old rival. in this manner, won the meet by a few dishonorable points. The Tuscola-Atwood dual track meet was veiy close indeed, but our three faithlul men won it by three points. Moore, the star man, won thirty-seven points, which was enough to win almost any interscholastic meet in Illinois. Stitt and Cogdal did remarkable work which will long be remembered by Tuscola as well as by Atwood. The interscholastics at Charleston and Urbana were grand successes, when we consider that Atwood, although a very small town, has won as many points as the larger cities such as Decatur, not by third places or less, but by firsts and seconds. We feel proud of old Atwood High when we consider that our three favorites did not enter the county meet with the expectation of taking the banner, but never-the-less they carried off second honors. Besides, Moore received the gold medal as the best all-round athlete and broke the record in the pole vault, while Cogdal tied the record for the high jump and Stitt pushed the time record on the half mile run. Girls’ Basket Ball Team Stanshury, Welker. Mosbarger, Stevenson. Fiickinger, Neal, Pinckard The Girls' Basket Ball Team of 1915 was the first the school has had since 1912. Two teams were organized at the beginning of the season with Miss Stevenson and Miss Mosbarger as captains. Although no games were played with visiting teams, never-the-less, under the clever coaching and management of Miss Stansbury. they played many interesting games that will long be remembered. BASKET BALL TEAM Stitt, Manager At the beginning of the Basket Ball season Stitt was elected manager of Team of T5 and there is no doubt but that he played a good game at the position of forward, especially in the Tuscola-Atwood game. Captain Moore Moore, who has been in the Basket Ball Teams of T3, T4 and T5, was elected captain this year by the members of the team. Moore is considered one of the fastest forwards in central Illinois. Cogdal, Center Cogdal played center on the Basket Ball Team of 15, exceedingly well, especially in the Villa Grove-Atwood game and in the Tuscola-Atwood game- Hines Hines played a hard game at guard in the Basket Ball Teams of ’14 and ’15. He also took an active part in track of '14. winning many points in the runs. Suffern Suffern acted as a substitute on the Basket Ball Teams of ’14 and T5 and no doubt he is well known in track circles as a fast hurdler. Biggs Biggs known by the Basket Ball Teams of T2. T3, T4 and T5 as left guard, was elected manager and assistant coach of 14. Biggs was known on the Base Ball diamond of ’12 as first baseman. He was also known on the track teams of T2, T3 and T4 as a weight man. TRACK TEAM Captain Cogdal Cogdal has been in the track teams of ’14 and ’15 and was elected Captain of the ’15 track team. As an athlete Cogdal has captured first in the three local meets in his event. He also tied the high jump record in the Piatt county meet. Although his main event is the high jump, he has also captured some ribbons in the pole vault and the standing and running broad jumps. His jump record is 5 feet. 6 inches. Moore ' The track teams of 13. 14. and ’15 would have been at a loss without the services of Moore. Although Moore’s special event is the pole vault, he has few equals in the 220-yard dash and he has taken first in that event every Stitt, Manager time he has entered it. With the closing of the school year, Moore took second place in the pole we also have the ending of Stitt’s vault at the Eastern Illinois Track second year on the track team, as our meet, and in the county meet he long distance man. He has taken broke the record; he also received the first in every dual meet in the mile gold medal for the best all round ath- and the half mile. He also made a lete. Probably Moore’s record in the good showing at Monticello and Ur-pole vault will stand through the bana. His star event is the mile in history of our school. Moore’s pole which he holds the high school record vault record is 11 feet. of 4:58 flat. THE ALUMNI BASKET BALL TEAM The Alumni basket ball team has just finished the most successful season ever attained by an Atwood team. Composed of old high school and university stars, the team started like a whirlwind and kept up the gait throughout the year. An unusually heavy team, averaging over one hundred sixty pounds, they played a driving smashing style of game. This manner of playing coupled with great team work and accurate goal shooting, proved too much for the majority of the teams played. The condition of the players during the season, was also remakable, not a man being injured although many hard practise and match games were indulged in. At the forward positions the Alumni team had two of the cleverest tossers in Illinois, Hassig and Fisher. Both men were great goal shooters and very adept at digging out the ball. Their ability to get away from opposing guards was wonderful. At center Captain Wilson, aided by his unusual height and weight was very succes-ful in getting the touch off and securing the ball. A great defensive player, he furnished plenty of work for opposing goal shooters. As guards the team had two players whose ability to smother their opponents and yet find time to ring in a few baskets was par excellence. Collins playing usually near the middle of the floor was able to intercept pass after pass and frequently converted them into points. Carroll playing back guard made life miserable for the other forwards. Always on the job whenever the other man had the ball, he held his forwards to a very low score. Moore, the speedy high school man, was substitute. He undoubtedly would have given a good account of himself if he had broken into the games more often. Two other great helps were a good manager and a loyal bunch of rooters. Charles Erhardt proved a great manager throughout the season and it was through his efforts that the large number of home games were secured.
