Our Staff, we think the equal of any in former years, and the effort put forth we feel has been worthy of recognition. So with this feeling, we send forth this volume to meet its doom, whatever that doom may be, feeling that we have done our best to meet the demands of a critical public. We thank those of the other classes that have contributed in any way to the success of The Post. Our thanks is also due to the business men who have so loyally supported us by their liberal advertisements, and hope that they may be many times repaid for their generosity to us.

Officers Loren Meece_________________________________President Freed a Harshbarger . . _____________ Vice-President Lena Randall_______________________________ Secretary Paul E. Riggs____________________________ Treasurer In the fall of 1915 twenty ambitious Freshies entered the A. H. S. After a few weeks of excitement we became accustomed to our new life and things went along very smoothly. By the end of the year our number had decreased one by one until only thirteen were left to enter upon our career as Sophomores. At the beginning of our second year our number had increased to seventeen, but did not hold this mark very long. At the close of the second year eleven loyal Sophomores bid adieu to the A. H. S. and entered into the summer vacation. Fourteen happy high school students entered the new Township High School as Juniors in 1917. This year we were represented in many events, having a few football stars, basket ball stars and some entries for the oratorical contest. This year before the close found only ten Juniors responding to the roll call. When the fall of 1918 entered upon the record of time, we started to school for the last time in the dear old A. T. H. S. This year our number again reachr d the thirteen mark, which is the largest class for some time. This year, although our class is small compared to the rest of the classes, we have been well represented in all events. We were again able to have a few football stars on the the team, representatives at the state tournament, and a representative in the oratorical contest. We leave school with perhaps a feeling of sadness. but we believe more a feeling of gladness, to think that we are ready to enter into the arena of life’s action. And as we leave the place of joy and happiness, let us not think that the best of life is gone, but that the best is yet to come. THE POST- SENIOR ESSA Y-“The Butterfly” I know a girl who can be described in one word,-““Butterfly” She is slender and her features angular. She is usually white because of a superfluous use of face powder, and her cheeks are without color. To add to her similarity to a butterfly, her manner of dress is quite frivolous. She usually wears clothes of very fine texture, that will flutter and wave when she walks or is in the wind. She is very fond of flowers, especially those of the brilliant color. This girl’s sole aim in life seems to be to pass the time away. She evidently has no thought of the future and only a slight recollection of the past. Her mind is occupied only by the present. Her very conversation reveals her likeness to a butterfly. She will converse lightly on any subject fora few minutes, then drop it to talk of another and probably less important subject, just as the butterflies flit from one flower to hover carelessly over another. During such a conversation she will smile or frown according to what she thinks is required of her. Her opinions upon any subject of conversation are likely to reveal perfectly her feelings at the time she expresses those opinions. At any public gathering she is likely to be seen in a dozen different places, with a dozen different persons, in the course of a dozen minutes, giving her attention to whatever is presented to her. She is a girl who can see beauty in only those things that are essentially beautiful. She is gay in the sunshine; rain thoroughly displeases her. Disappointment or cheer can be read in her face as plainly as if it were written there. Just as butterflies spend the warm summer days in absolute carelessness and then become cheerless and die in autumn, so is this girl’s nature affected by things that please her and by obstacles that she is unable to overcome. She is truly a butterfly, a child of June. Loren Meece. “It Just Happened” tin English IV) Have you ever been on the inside of a bake oven? If you haven’t, you will not be able to apreciate the feeling that came over my face upon this occasion. We had just arrived home from a THE POST- party. I say we, for of course I had a partner. Upon removing our wraps, for we needed them outside, we sat down upon a seat built for more than one. Then! something happened. If you have never had this experience you will not know how quickly such a thing can happen. The only part that I can explain is this: My face was close to hers; something made a noise like a rock dropped into a tub of water; her face gave the impression of a well-ripened apple: mine felt as if it would burst into flames almost any minute. That was the first time that it had ever occurred. Fred Wiley.

Warren Wierman Secretary - - Blanche Kamm Flower: American Beauty Rose Colors: Green and White Junior Class History One bright September morning in 1916, thirty-three eager, but still somewhat frightened Freshmen, entered the doors of the Atwood Township High School. We made our debut into High School society at a party given in our honor by the upper classmen, where our only consolation was the thought that some day we, too, would be more than just ‘Freshies.’ During our Freshman year, the boys took a great interest in all athletics, especially football and basket ball. We were also represented in the annual oratorical by Chester Moore in the oration, and Lela Sidney in the girl’s declamation. Only twenty-six of us returned in 1917 as distinguished Sophomores, for many had dropped out of school or had moved to other places. This was our first year in the new Township High School building and we were certainly proud of it. As in our Freshman year, the boys showed a great interest in basket and football. Several of the men who represented the school in the District Tournament at Decatur, were from our class. Track work was omitted in 1917-18 on account o f the war. We also played our part in the literary affairs of the school, some trying out for places in the oratorical contest, while others took a great interest in the Shakespearean scenes produced by the public speaking classes. Although we enjoyed our Sophomore year very much, going to school every Saturday, the last semester had tired us so that we were very thankful when vacation with no studies came at last. Returning to school in 1918, our band was strengthened by three men joining us from Garrett. This year some of the best records in school have been made by members of the Junior class. While our boys were winning athletic honors, the girls have also won their share of the honors in scholarship. This year has been the most successful basket ball year in our history, and we are very proud to know that four of our men, Wierman, Randolph, Moore and Reeder, have helped make it so. While the track season lias hardly begun, it seems very probable that our boys will help make Atwood’s team, the winning team. In the literary field, we have shown more interest than usual. The school will be represented in the oration this year by Chester Moore, a Junior. We hope that we will leave not only a record to be proud of, when we graduate next year, but also the feeling that the class of 20 has done something to add to the lasting fame and honor of our dear Alma Mater, the Atwood Township High School. The Contribution of Our Community Toward Winning the World War The contribution of our community toward winning the world war, truly a subject fraught with many meanings. To many of us it stands for the hard, cold dollar that has purchased a Liberty Bond, or that has been donated to the Red Cross; to others it stands for days of strenuous knitting, or hours of hoeing in the never ending rows of the potato patch; but to still others of us it means more than the dollar, and more than the days of labor. It represents neither the money nor labor alone, but the feeling that accompanies the contribution. It has been said, “A pound of energy with an ounce of talent will achieve greater results than a pound of talent with an ounce of energy.” Our contribu-tions ofjnoney or of time alone would have meant (little without the soul of the people, churches, and schools back of them. The feeling that made our sacrifice a success, made the school an interesting and lively place. Each pupil was eager and ready to do his share. Any proposition connected with the winning of the war met with approval. No signs of selfishness were betrayed when the Red Cross called on any school organization to render their services in making a social a success. The Camp Fire Cirls willingly gave their services to the Red Cross in planning a box social. Every member not only brought a box, but helped entertain the community. Last fall we again gave a box supper, economizing in every way possible, and the entire amount, above expenses, was used for the adoption of three war orphans. The boxes of this supper were wrapped in plain brown paper tied with red ribbon. The honor roll placed in the school caused quite a sensation, each student trying to outdo the other. I think it safe to say that every member of our school owned War Saving Stamps, and a great many Liberty bonds. During these drives one could single out those students who owned bonds, by their unconscious airs of self-importance, and by their smiles as they exhibited their loan buttons. The machines in the sewing room hummed merrily, as the girls sewed on many little garments, knowing that some poor little half clothed child was to be warmly clad. What wonder that these girls, as they sewed on the little garments, thought of the contrast between their own happy, peaceful lives, and the lives of the children of France and Belgium; children who were half clothed and half fed. A number of our boys joined the United States Boys Working Reserve, and school remained in session Saturdays, thus giving the boys a chance to begin work earlier. The boys were happy, for did not many a lad, as he sat on the cultivator whistling some popular war song, dream of rolling o’er the billows, or of the time when he could serve his country? Various classes discussed the questions of the day, and many were the heated arguments as to what should be done with the Kaiser. It was not only the contributions of our school that were full of enthusiasm, but the contributions of the people as a whole. The spirit with which the people of our community made their contributions toward winning the world war made those contributions seem even greater. They were wide awake to everything that took place. The day of the Red Cross sale, the three aeroplanes attracted much attention, and a large crowd and two thousand and five hundred dollars was the result of the day. One little duck, only a few days old, housed in a little wicker cage decorated with the American flag and flags of the Allies, sold and re-sold many times. The highest bid- der received a ride in one of the aeroplanes, an event causing much excitement. The Liberty Loan drives were successful, the people being proud to be able to help Uncle Sam. The sales of the four Liberty Loans, and the sales of the War Saving Stamps for the year 1918, was estimated at one hundred and thirty thousand two hundred ninety-three dollars—a sum of which our community is proud. The War Saving Stamp drive awakened the enthusiasm of the small children. One little fellow came with an old pitcher full of pennies and insisted on receiving his stamps right then. The men planned their fields so as raise a bumper crop of everything. The women devoted their time to raising poultry, tending the large gardens, knitting and trying some new war recipes. The meatless, wheatless and sweetless days were observed throughout the community. Although our other contributions were great, our greatest contribution toward winning the world war was the giving of sons, husbands, brothers, and sweethearts to Uncle Sam that our beloved country might maintain its Liberty. Of course this great sacrifice caused many heartaches, but as one of our great men has said: “Those who have earned joy, but are rewarded only with sorrow, must learn the stern comfort dear to great souls, that comfort that springs from the knowledge taught in times of iron that the law of worthy living is not fulfilled by pleasure, but by service, and by sacrifice when only thereby service can be rendered.” The same man has said: “All of us who give THE POST- service and stand ready for sacrifice are the torch-bearers,” a truth which these noble mothers realized, for they knew that, ‘‘The torch whose flame is brightest is borne by their gallant sons at the front, and by the gallant women whose husbands and lovers. whose sons and brothers are at the front.” The mothers of our community felt the call from Flanders Fields.” and they bravely caught and held “on high the torch from failing hands.” Ethel Bly Reedy.

Some came from the Atwood grade school and others from the rural schools. This was a successful class although some became discouraged and left school. This class had three boys, L. Doty, Henry Wilson. Fred Billman, represent them in Athletics and one girl, Margaret Hofsas, in the oratorical contest at Monticello. September 1918. saw twenty-one Sophomores, nineteen members of tho original twenty-seven and two new members, Tiana Dragoofrom Camargo and Edna Harder from Garrett. The class as a whole has had great success this year. We have fine school spirit and to prove this, have been the only class to hang its class banner in the assembly hall. We had three boys in athletics, Leslie Doty, Henry Wilson and Fred Billman and one girl, Cleone Rose, in the oratorical contest. Both class and school were saddened by the death of Fred Billman on March 13. 1919. He was a student with high ideals and fine spirit and a friend of all who knew him. We hope that the spirit, which we have fostered—may continue in the years to come. This being the true spirit of the Atwood Township High School. Leslie Doty, ’21. When Biddy Used the Broom Biddy, who was Jimmy’s sister, had just passed her eighteenth birthday and thought that little brothers, especially those ten years old, were nuisances. Originally her name had been Catherine Mae. but her mother had said she didn’t like such a long name and for her part she was going tocallher “Biddy” because she thought it was such a “cute” name for a girl and so Biddy it was. Jimmie thought the name suited her perfectly because she was so much like his hen, “Biddy,” who was always scolding. Over Jimmie, Biddy reigned supreme, scolding and causing him to get many whippings. One rainy Saturday she scrubbed the kitchen floor and then went into the living room to rest and let the floor dry. Suddenly she heard a rattling of pans and thinking the pet cat was in the pantry she went to chase her out. The sight that met her eyes made her flush with anger for there on the floor was a path of muddy foot prints leading from the door to the pantry, and there in the pantry, helping himself to the THE POST- cookies, was the culprit, Jimmy. A moment she stood clinging to the door speechless with rage. A moment she stood thus and then the storm broke. “Oh you little rascal! I’ll teach you to track my clean floor.” She snatched the broom and rushed madly at Jimmy. He hurried out of the pantry, double quicked it to the door, and then shot out into the yard. Biddy followed him but as he was the swifter runner, he was soon at a safe distance. She realized that she could never catch him so she threw the broom at him, but just as the broom left her hand her foot slipped on the wet walk, she lost her balance, and down she went in a puddle of water. Jimmy dodged the flying broom and turned in time to see her fall. She rose quickly and hurried into the house while Jimmy, convulsed with laughter, called after her, “goody, goody.” Biddy’s dress was covered with mud and muddy water ran from its folds. Her face was dirty and she held her arms so that they looked as if they were artificial. Now when Biddy has company and tries to reprimand Jimmy, he sings: “Biddy, Biddy took a run. She took her broom along and thought she’d have some fun—” But he never gets to finish for Biddy won’t let him.

Some came from the Baker school, some from Easton and Harshbarger and still others from Pierson. Of course most of us graduated from the grade schools. We wandered rather aimlessly through the corridors until some kind person showed us the way to the assembly. In the first few days we might be found any where in the building gazing and appearing awestruck by the magnificence of our surroundings. But after we finally located our different class rooms we settled down to study diligently. The prospect looked rosy indeed, but of course all realized there were many difficulties ahead. At the initiation of the “Freshies we showed our class spirit in the way we took the jokes, and had almost as much fun as the ones who were watching. What if George O'Laughlin did have to receive private instruction before he could whistle like a mocking bird or what difference did it make to the “Freshies if the noises they accredited to the giraffe were not received with enthusiasm by the audience? The initiation was an occasion long to be remembered. Claud Ware, Richard Riggs and Hugh Harshbarger played on the second basket ball team and helped win the tournament at Decatur. Several of the boys entered the triangular track meet at Tuscola. Maurice Doty. Carl Merritt and Hugh Harshbarger carried off some of the honors. Bonnie Roberts represented the school in humorous reading, and Lilian Bowman in modern poetry, in the oratorical contest at Charleston, May 10. Freshman may be called “green but if there were none, where would the Sophmores, Juniors and Seniors come from? THE POST- A. T. H. S. Vocational Agricultural Club The Vocational Agricultural Club was organized Marchil4th, 1919, by the Ag. students of the High School for the purpose of furthering the interest in agricultural life and progress by holding regular meetings for the purpose of discussing problems of general interest to the Ag. Student. Time of meeting:—Every other Friday evening, or First and Third Fridays of each month. Officers for 1919:— President, Ralph Reeder Vice Pres., Leslie Doty Secretary, Fred H. Bowen Treasurer, Joseph Baker Any member of the Agr. classes in school, or anyone above the age of fourteen interested in vocational agriculture may become active members; certain other people may become associate members, enjoying all the privileges of members except voting in business meetings. The first two meetings were pre- sided over by the President, Reeder, and the business was dispatched in a dignified manner. The Vice-president had his first call to the chair in the third meeting, and Leslie sure knows just how to put on the dignity of the position and keep things boiling in a parliamentary way. The Club is now planning some future trips, among which will be one to the U. of I. Agr. Plots, the barns, etc. Every member is on tip-toe to see the U. of I. farm. Other trips are some visits to breeding farms for hogs, cattle, sheep and horses. A Stock Judging Team is being organized and the boys are now working on their favorite animal, going over him for “points.” The following projects are being carried out by different members of the club: 6 in corn growing; 5 in poultry raising; 3 in registered hog breeding. Four boys are doing general farm work. Agricultural Laboratory MANUAL TRAINING Despite the time lost during the epidemic of influenza, the Manual Training Department completed a very successful year. An economical material system was followed throughout and the shop produced an exceedingly large number of constructed articles out of a much smaller amount of lumber than utilized heretofore. The shop work for the past year struck out over a slightly different course of construction in that an attempt was made to get away from the city standpoint in the matter of teaching manual training and employ a course of woodwork suited to a community high school. Such articles as farm gates, chicken brooders, wagon jacks.auto creepers, screen doors, porch swings, and repairing of all kinds were substituted in a degree for the less practical line usually adhered to. In connection with the shop work mechanical drawing and design was directed to the same end. The shop classes turned out many useful articles for the school throughout theyear, making tables, stands, and miscellaneous features, as well as repairs of all kinds on school property. Approximately three hundred articles were constructed, ranging from finished furniture to wooden toys, manufactured at Yuletide. All students of the department took a deep interest in the work and many showed marked ability in construction knowledge.

The names of the societies, Wrytonian and Platonian were retained. After a division of the Freshman among the two societies, a meeting of each society was called by the former secretaries. The purpose of these meetings was for organization. Two programs were given each month bv the societies. The Allies program, which was quite interesting, was given by the Wrytonian Literary Society on the seventeenth day of January. The Nations represented were: Italy. France, England and America. A soldier was appointed from each Nation represented, to act as usher for the afternoon. Biographies were read, music typical of each nation was given, and selections from the national literatures were delivered as readings One of the most important events of the afternoon’s program was the reception at Buckingham Palace. The persons present at the reception were: King George, Queen Mary, President and Mrs. Wilson, the Prince of Wales and Princess Mary. The program was ended by the singing of America and the raising of the flag. The following program was given by the Platonian literary society. It included an account of Pioneer Days in this community and the history of some of the Nation’s great men. Through this program we learned who built the first church of this community and where it was located. We were told of the first town, and of the maikets of this town. The lives of Washington and Lincoln were traced from their boyhood down to the time when they became president of the United States. The Orchestra and Glee Club have added a great interest to the school entertainments The glee club is under the supervision of Miss Edmondson, and Miss Wilson has charge of the Orchestra. Although we have been handicapped this year because of the influenza epidemic, we feel that great good has been derived from having these monthly programs, and we hope that they will be continued in the school next year. Golda M. Heerdt. “The Blue Bird” The Public Speaking classes on March 19 presented “The Blue Bird,” a play written by Maurice Maeterlinck, a Belgian playwright. The play was under the direction of Miss Maude Blackwell. In the following prologue which was ably given by Blanche Van Vleet, is a description ol the play. PROLOGUE Out of all the myriads of birds that fly through the sky there is one bin! blue as the sky itself, and this bird the fairies tell us, brings to its possessor that which most desired -in fact, it is the secret of happiness. It is more difficult to catch than any butterfly you ever saw, and just when you are surest of being able to lay your hands on it, you are quite likely to find that it is far away—mortals know very little about the Blue Bird, except that once you have seen its fluttering wings ahead of you, you must keep on following it as long as you live. Tyltyl and Mytyl, the woodcutter’s children, were told about “the bird that is blue” by Fairy Berylune, who looked somehow, very like neighbor Berlingot. The neighbor’s little girl was sick: nerves the doctors called it, but the fairy realized that all the little girl needed was the Blue Bird of happiness. So she hobbled in on Christmas Eve, and sent Tyltyl and Mytyl to search the world over until they should find the marvelous bird that was to cure the little sick girl. The first time you see Tyltyl and Mytyl it is Christmas Eve. As soon as you have discovered what an interesting place a cottage living room is. you find that the Fairy has come in. told them as she really can’t do without the Blue Bird, they must set out at once to find it for her: and best of all lurnished Tyltyl with the magic green cap with a diamond in the crown that is more useful than the strongest microscope that ever was invented, for just one turn will enable the children to see things as they really are inside, even down to the bottom of their souls. And. of course, when the diamond is turned, you can see all those things, too. It would take far too long to tell what everything in that room is really like when Tyltyl has turned the diamond. The clock door opens and out trip the laughing dancing hours, not a laggard among them, you may be sure. Fire comes leaping out of the chimney and water wells up out of the pump, and they fly about after each other in a curious, whirling sort of dance, trying to put each other out like the natural enemies they are. Bread rolls out of his barrel and careens about the room, but although he is very pompous and substantial looking, I am glad to say he does not prove to be half so reliable and neces- Characters in the “Blue Bird” sary a friend to man, as mothers and nurses have always led us to suppose. Bread has a useful sort of stomach, from which he can cut a good slice whenever the children are hungry enough to want it. Sugar’s chief charm lies in his hands, the fingers of which break off with a snap whenever Tyltyl and Mytyl want a bit of barley sugar to suck. New fingers grow at once, so sugar always has nice clean hands without the trouble of washing them. Milk looks just asTyltyl describes her, “a frightened lady in a white nightgown.” She is so sweet and pure that the most careful doctor in the world would find nothing to modify.” Then Cat and Dog wake up. I mean, really wake all the way up, so that you know all there is to be known about them. Cat soon lets us see why it is we have never really trusted him, even when he purred most demurely. You can’t help watching him, he has such fascinating ways, in spite of treachery and his sidelong contempt of everyone except himself. Dog is just as adorable in truth as he is in the seeming. Then comes the soul of Light, a lovely being, as you can see from the picture she makes, who proves a wise and true friend to the children on their daring journey. The Fairy cuts short the revelry of the newly awakened things and animals and hurries them off to find the Blue Bird. She sends them through the window, so that no one shall see them getting off and she very thoughtfully leaves some shadows in the bed, so that when Daddy and Mummy Tyl come in a moment later, they suppose their boy and girl are sleeping quietly, and they go to bed themselves without a thought that their own little children are dancing up into Fairyland. Before you know it. there they are in the Fairy’s palace, somewhere a little this side of the moon. Of course it is a palace for that is the name of it, but if it weren’t for that, you might think it was the inside wave of a curve of the sea. The Fairy gives everyone directions and equipment for the journey, as she is not to go herself. Then she sends Tyltyl and Mytyl to the Land of Memory, where she says they will find their grandparents and their brothers and sisters, each of whom went away one evening and never came back. When the mists are gone there are Grandpa and Granny Tyl. Yes, the dear little creepered cottage, and there the tall hollyhocks, the bee hives, and even the black bird. They are all so gay and noisy it seems a pity to break up the fun, but, of course, Tyltyl must keep his promise to Light; and so off he scampers with Mytyl. The Black Bird is not blue, he is just black, so of course it can’t be the bird the Fairy wants after all. You next see them outside a silent wall, where lie those who have gone before. Well, the Fairy said that the Blue Bird may be hidden away in one of the tombs. The church clock begins to strike, and you know Tyltyl will turn the diamond, so that you will know the real truth about those sleeping. Just as you feel that you must shut your eyes tight,as Mytyl has done, you hear a faint sound, like the song of birds. Looking over the wall Tyltyl sees hundreds of tall trees, lilies glis- Characters in the ((Blue Bird tening in the dew. All is clear now. There is nothing to fear. Then back home they go and outside the window they take leave of their companions—that is to say, of their speaking human forms. After they have slipped through the window you see them asleep in the living room. You hear Mummy call breakfast. There at home, when they are no longer hunting for it, they find the Blue Bird. They see that it is really blue. Just as they are about to give it away, which is quite as it should be when you come to think of it, you realize what a wonderful bird it is, for the little sick girl comes dancing in as healthy and happy as possible; and although the Blue Bird flies away in the end it is nice to know that human hands have held him even for a moment. “A Scrap of Paper” May 14 the Senior class presented “A Scrap of Paper,” a comic drama in three acts. The play was really the promiscuous adventures of a love letter. Perhaps a synopsis would better enlighten you as to what the play was than just a few plain facts. Synopsis Prosper Couramont, a young gentleman, in love with Louise, returned from a tour around the world to find her the wife of Baron de la Glaciere. He recognizes the old home of Louise and is surprised to find the sitting-room in precisely the same arrangement as when he was last there— even to the statute of Flora, the postal box of the lovers. He explains the reason for his not receiving her letters. Prosper gets the letter and hides it from Louise and her sister Suzanne. Suzanne finds it only to lose it. The Baron becomes enraged and declares that Prosper shall marry Suzanne. Prosper finds the letter and burns it. but not before through its instrumentality the flame of love has touched his heart and he becomes engaged to Suzanne. Mixed up with the principal plot is an amusing underplot in which Zenobie tries to get Anatole for a husband. Marie Bowman. THE POST- ins——ail iiE- nr SOCIAL NOTES If®.', Ojfr; Freshman Party On October 4, the Upperclassmen gave tiie annual party for the Freshmen. They gave them a month to get acquainted then attempted to find out what they knew,which was little, that is what they found out. Of course they knew the way to the office hy that time, but they had never visited the vault, nor the pump that is located northeast of the building and as it’s fun to visit those places we certainly gave them a detailed explanation on both objects. A committee composed of one member from each class and presided over by the Senior president, conducted the program for the evening. The new teachers were also initiated and all responded readily Return Freshman Party The Freshmen returned the party December 31. It would have been sooner but the school was shut down several weeks with the “flu.” The Freshmen got even all right; there return party was a kid party”. The Upperclassmen all looked to be at least ten or twelve years old. A prize of two dolls was given to the best matched and dressed couple. The prize was won by Mary Orr and Hugh Harshbarger. The boys all looked young in their “dutch” collars and cuffs and white stockings. The old “gym rocked with laughter at the curls and ribbons of the girls. The Camp Fire Party The Camp Girls and their guardians gave a party for the school December 31, to thank the school for their help in their various entertainments. Punch and wafers were served about 9:30. The Camp Fire girls includes two camps, the Aktatci and the Nawakwa. Each camp numbers about twenty members. Miss Madden Visited School On January 18, Miss Madden, our teacher of last year in History, paid us a visit and we gave a short notice party in her honor. Mr. Louis Stitt was home at the time and was invited; the party was well attended. The Basket Ball Party To celebrate our glorious victory in the tournament, we gave a party for all high school students in honor of the “invincible five and the never failingseconds. The Domestic Science girls gave them a six o’clock supper with a menu as follows: THE POST- Fruit Cocktail Fried Chicken Stuffed Potatoes Green Peas Olives Celery California Special Salad Brick Ice Cream Angel Food Cake Pink Killarney roses were given as favors. After the dinner the gym was opened to the rest of the school and general public: The other students arrived about seven-thirty and the evening was started off with a grand march and a scramble on the part of the girls to get to march with a B. B. boy. The Mothers’ Club Chicken Supper March the 27th, the Mothers of our community decided that their children needed an entertainment, so they arranged for a chicken supper. We all came and ate and then paid, yes they had decided first of all that they needed some money. After the eats’ came the fun and everyone did his best so it really was a party, next time we have a party we intend to ask the Mothers to serve.

Coach Mathews was handicapped by the loss of Wiley and Welker at the beginning of the season, but the squad soon rounded into very creditable form. The scheduling of a game with Atwood by the Decatur High eleven speaks well for the showing the locals made from the start, and the big town squad received one of the greatest surprises of their lives when they went up against the Atwood team, whom they expected to run away from with a large score. The locals at this time had developed a formidable offense and defense and had mastered several open-play formations which they used with marked success. Four games were played, Atwood winning three and losing one, this being to Decatur by a close score. The games were: Atwood 21 Arthur 20 Atwood 20 Lovington 0 Atwood 13 Bement 0 Atwood 7 Decatur 15 Total 61 Opponents 35 Captain Billman proved to be a wonder, both on the defense and offense, and his generalship of the team as well as his indomitable spirit of aggressiveness at all times aided greatly in Atwood’s success. The backfield, Reeder, Randolph, Doty and Wilkerson, made a snappy scoring combination and the work of Reeder, especially, deserves mention in the manner in which he plowed the line for sure-money gains time after time. Wierman and Harshbarger made an ideal pair of ends and their speed and ability to work on the pass route as well as in other departments of the game is commendable to no slight degree. On the line Moore, Kimmel, Doty, Meece, Riggs, Barnhart, Ware and Anderson played a great brand of ball and in the last games their work was of high caliber and of stone wall defense to which a great deal of credit is due. A BRIEF SUMMARY Atwood 21 —Arthur 20 This was a game featured by thrills on both sides and Atwood was only certain of the game at the blow of the final whistle. Billman, Wierman and Harshbarger, as well as the others showed good form. “Coffee” intercepted a pass in the last quarter for the winning touchdown, while Harshbarger upon one occasion carried the ball forty-five yards for points. Atwood 13—Bement 0 Coming out of two slow, scoreless quarters Atwood speeded up and ran rings around and through Bement’s orange and purple warriors. Captain Billman played a great game, twisting through Bement’s line for the first touchdown while Randolph made the second one with a thirty-yard run around end. Reeder and Wilkerson made consistent gains and the line showed a great improvement in their blocking and charging. Atwood.20—Lovington 0. Reeder displayed wonderful linedriving form in this game and made the first touchdown in the first period. Harshbarger counted on a criss-cross and Captain Billman wiggled through an open field in his inimitable style for the last score. Wierman made two out of three with his trusty toe from rather difficult angles. Moore again backed up the line in his sure-money form while the tackling and line blocking was excellent throughout. Atwood 7—Decatur 15 This game was described by Decatur papers as being an exceedingly brilliant affair and the entire Atwood team was commended upon their excellent performance. The line worked like veterans and the backfield lacked nothing in snap or aggressiveness. Reeder tore great holes in Decaturs stone wall defense and the others circled the ends upon several occasions for substantial gains only to lose the ball on fumbles. Capt. Billman pushed the ball over for Atwood’s lone touchdown after it had been worked down the field by end runs, crisscrosses and line bucks Each player put up a remarkable exhibition and while Decatur won, all the spectators were of the opinion that Atwood deserved a greater share of glory than did the visitors for their respective showings.

That Atwood would have achieved greater laurels had the original five been permitted to have played in the state tournament was the opinion of many who were in close touch with the various teams, but long will the Decatur games be remembered in Atwood and the names of the boys who fought so splendidly to bring the trophy to Atwood will live for years to come. Back of this fast and accurate offensive and defensive machine that performed with almost pefect harmony was four months of faithful, conscientious practice and careful training— night after night of drill on the various features of the game. The boys earned their laurels many times over and Atwood feels justly proud of such a squad for they put Atwood on the map. Captain Reeder proved an excellent leader and a great pivot man. His ability to cover the floor was wonderful and his work at Decatur was cited as being the best witnessed in that vicinity in many moons. Fred Billman played a wonderful forward game with Wierman as his running mate and his brilliant playing at Decatur was regarded as second to none. Wierman showed great form throughout the season—his speed, dribbling and shooting ability, as well as floor work, placing him on the District first team and on the All State first team by the Illini — the University paper. All who witnessed him perform declared him to be the fastest high school forward seen in many years. Randolph played a wonderful game on the defense, and his floor work and advancing ability on the offense marked him as a very dangerous man in the running guard position. Moore proved his worth in every game and at Decatur his work against the shrewdest forwards of the tournament should have been rewarded with a place on the first team as should have Randolph. These two on the defense are mighty hard to beat. The Second String Men Of the second spring men Ware showed possibly the greatest development and his work at Champaign in the State Tournament was most excellent. Barnhart, Harshbarger Riggs and Wilson, also showed excellent form throughout the season and their work against Farmer City and Easton in the Decatur Tournament brought forth much applause. Those who did not get to go to the district tournament should receive their share of credit for their efforts throughout the year and for Atwood’s showing— these players being Day, Doty, Kimmel and Anderson. THE POST- SUMMARY OF GAMES Atwood 29—Clinton 33 Our first game of the season against a seasoned squad on its own floor resulted in our first and only defeat of the year outside of the state tournament. Clinton won the game in the last three minutes of play, and the score tells the test. The second meeting with the fast Clinton quintet at Decatur, however, settled all accounts to the satisfaction of all. Atwood 37—Areola 10 The Seconds made a great start the same evening by trimming Areola on our home floor in a rather one sided affair. Barney and Day played stellar ball throughout. Atwood 63 - Millikin Scrubs 24 The locals hit a fast stride in this game and ran rings around the colle-giansina practice game that washardly practice. Capt. Reeder, Wierman, and Billman caged a total of twenty-six baskets while Randolph and Moore made two each. The Millikin squad are still figuring out how our fast scoring machine succeeded in such an onslaught. Atwood 34—Arthur 17 Our neighbor on the south came expecting to eat up our Second squad, which played them to a standstill, despite Arthur's tendency to engage in catch-as catch-can wrestling at various times throughout the game. Reeder and “Coffee” played a few minutes in the last half and rolled up a safe lead in their time, but Arthur refused to participate against the full first squad which goes to show their appreciation of Atwood’s ability. Atwood 53—Villa Grove 18 Villa Grove had high hopes the evening they graced our presence with their basket ball wo.thies and they were not backward at all in telling us how much they were going to beat our snappy squad. Two hours later returned the above mentioned verdict and the railroaders quietly took the darkest road homeward. Wierman made a dozen baskets and Captain Reeder and Billman made another dozen between them with Glenn in with two. “Check'' and Randolph displayed a clever brand of defense throughout the game. Atwood 59 Villa Grove 27 The following week the locals accompanied by half of Atwood, Garrett, and portions of Pierson and Hammond journeyed to VillaGrove and convinced the V, G’ers that there was nothing wrong with the previous week’s score. There remained no bit of doubt in the railroad town as to the merit of Atwood’s snappy outfit after the final whistle. Atwood 76— Bement 2 The first squad sailed through a sea of mud and water to the north pole where they eased their flustered consciences by playing tag with Bement’s quintet for forty minutes. Spectators were rather disappointed in Atwood s failure to make an even hundred in the allotted time. Atwood 45— Newman 8 The Seconds trounced the small quintet from Newman the afternoon of the Bement contest by a wholesome score. Barnhart and Day featured, the others displaying a fast brand of ball. THE POST- THE DECATUR TOURNEY GAMES Atwood 38—Farmer City 14 The Seconds took Farmer City in the first half of Atwood’s first game and played the big fellows to a stand still for twenty minutes of snappy ball, then the first string hopped to the Farmer Cityites in the last period and the registering was great. Coffee played like a house a fire, caging eight baskets, while the others brought down the house time after time. Atwood 15—Easton 13 The snappy little outfit from the north gave us the greatest surprise of the year in this second game and they really deserve to place as they were one of the four best in the tourney. The seconds held Easton to a twelve to nine count in the half and in the latter period the first squad were un able to hit their old time stride although they received a score or more of tries. On the defense, however, Randolph, Moore together with Capt. Reeder, Bilhnan and Wierman held the Easton outfit basketless and the game ended in Atwood’s favor, an inch being as good as a mile in this case. Atwood 21 -Decatur 15 Over three-hundred and fifty loyal and rooting Atwood fans were jammed in Millikin gym on this glorious Saturday afternoon when the team from the little tank town over eastward” collected a sweet revenge on Big Haughty Decatur. Capt. Reeder, Bill-man, Wierman, Randolph and Moore played wonderful bail and their form in every department of the game was commented upon by all. The last half Atwood made Decatur look like a team of chessplayers in the manner in which our boys pulled the old time stall. This was our greatest game and offensively as well as defensively every Atwood man played the best basket-ball of his position in the tournament. Atwood 19—Clinton 17 After the hard game of the afternoon we clashed with the mighty Clintonites the same evening, before the largest crowd of the meet. Atwood again took a safe lead with a spurt in the first quarter and the orange and black held the same to the final whistle. Clinton was stronger, physically, from her lighter schedule, but Atwood was fighting with a greater mental will and a spirit that knew not defeat. Capt. Reeder, Biilman and Wierman on the offensive end played great ball and their ability to work through Clinton’s stone-wall defense amazed all who witnessed the contest. Randolph and Moore on the defense fought like wildcats and Clinton’s best found themselves covered time after time by the work of these two men. After the final whistle announced Atwood as the Champions the floor was overrun by hundreds of eager fans and everything was Atwood from one end of Decatur to the other. Atwood was on the Map! And it was plainly evident that night by the scores of laughing and singing happy Atwoodites that filled the Basket-ball Special out of Decatur. “Atwood might be a little burg’’ said a spectator, “but they sure know how to play a classy game.” Long may the sentiment live! THE STATE TOURNAMENT Atwood 26—Shelbyville 28 On the morning of our departure for Champaign came thesadand heartfelt news of the death of Fred Billman. His loss to the team had crippled Atwood to a great extent but the knowledge of his death—his loss as a friend and comrade—cast the squad into deeper grieving. Feeling, however, that the team had a duty to perform in representing this section of the state the squad entered the ranks against Shelbyville the third game of the tourney. Getting away to a poor start Atwood played up to an excellent style of ball, considering everything, and the crowd (considerably over 3,0001 were all for Atwood. Reeder, Randolph a n d Wierman played a strong game on the offensive and Ware and Moore proved their worth many times over on the defense. In the final quarter the orange and black took a spurt and succeeded in gaining a four point lead over Shelbyville literally playing them off their feet. The red and white, however, slipped one overin thisperiod and as the gun cracked a last hope sailed through the air, registering after the shot had died. The basket counted and in the extra five minute period played the rangy center for Shelbyville counted with a basket while Atwood was unable to score although our boys secured several more attempts than did the red and white. While we were beaten and come forth with no attempt to alibi the orange and black it was the opinion of many that the best team did not win. Luck favored Shelbyville throughout the game and considering all, Atwood played a wonderful game and received the admiration of all for their part in making the meet a success THE POST■ Basket Ball Individual Record Player Min.

The success of the track men rounded out a bright and successful year in the last of the Big Three sports, and the able athletes who comprised the squad should be given credit for sticking with a sport that comes at a time of the year when their time is called for at every corner. Following is the summary of the meets contested in and a brief review of the individual squad men: The Tuscola Triangular Meet Atwood 80, Tuscola 53, Areola 1. 50 yard dash Burres, Wierman, Harshbarger, 5 4-5 sec.

Other places, such as Decatur, Mattoon. Paris, Centralia, Olney.and a score of others, fell below Atwood in points, showing the material strength of the participants. Champaign took first with 32 points, THE POST- Georgetown and Flora second with 16 points apiece, Danville third with 8 points, and Atwood and Urhana fourth with 7 points each. Captain “Coffee” made Atwood s 7 points by taking first place in the high jump out of a field of 36 contestants, third place in the 100 yard dash, and third place in the pole vault. Wierman attempted to raise the high jump record, which he had done in practice, but owing to the number of events in which he had participated he was unable to do so in the given three trials. The other track men gave a good account of themselves and while they did not place in the finals their work in the semifinals and trial heats spoke well of their ability. The U. of I. State Interscholastic Atwood High again surpassed all expectations by placing fourth in class B of the twenty-fifth annual Interscholastic track and field meet at the University of Illinois last Friday and Saturday. University High of Chicago copped first place with 17 points, Georgetown second with 16, Lockport third with 15, and Atwood fourth with 12. Edwardsville, Altona. Auburn, Elmwood, Delevan, El Paso Olney, Mattoon, Taylorville, La Salle, Washburn, Alvin, Watseka, Rossville, Herrin, Eureka, Stonington. Waverly, Pekin, Bement, Tuscola, and a score of others followed with lower points. In class A, Oak Park easily won first honors with 48 points, and while the first division schools were supposed to have the strongest line-ups their time and records were behind the class of smaller schools in almost all events. Captain Wierman and Moore tied in points for Atwood the former securing a second in the high jump and a third in the pole vault for a total of five, while the latter scored five by taking first place in the 440 yard run. Harshbarger ran a pretty race in the 520 low hurdles and added the two remaining points, by placing third against Jones, crack University High hurdler. Wierman was handicapped in his two events as he was compelled to pole vault and high jumpat thesametime, which naturally weakened him against men who received intervals of rest while he was constantly performing. Moore finished strong, passing five men in the last 75 yards of his quarter mile, and while the finish was close he undoubtedly could have won by a wider margin had his spurt been started sooner. Reeder ran a good race in the 880, but lost his place on the first quarter giving the head men a lead which was too great to overcome in the finish. The County Meet This last meet held at Monticello for the County Honors resulted in a grand and glorious success and close lor one of the fastest track squads ever representing Atwood High. Atwood scored 56 points, besides the relay race, against Bement’s 36, Mansfield’s 9 and Monticello's 6. In almost every event the locals placed for two positions and in every department of the track and field contests. “Coffee Wierman won individual honors with 23 points out of possible 25 besides lowering the 220 yard dash 1 1-5 seconds. Harshbarger took the hurdles, 2 in the 50 yard dash and high jump. Moore took 2 in the 1-4 mile and 3 in the 1-2 mile. Reeder took 2 in the standing broad jump and 3 in the 1-2 mile. Wilkerson took 3 in the running broad jump. Kimmel 1 in the standing broad jump. Doty 1 in the 50 yard, 2 in the 100 yard and 3 in the shot put.
