THE POST SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It was a rainy morning in September, 15)18, when forty-three Freshmen entered the Atwood Township High School. Ye must have wandered rather aimlessly through the corridors until some kind upperclassman directed us to the assembly room. Our first year was one of hard study. We worked diligently to attain the position of a Senior, which seemed to us a long way in the future. But now those four short years have flown, and we are ready to leave our place of learning, where we have spent so many pleasant hours. As Sophomores of 11)19-20, we were only thirty-one in number. We had gone through one year of High School and we thought we knew everything there was to he learned, but we soon found out that Geometry and Caesar were to he mastered yet. We soon got down to work and showed the Freshmen our wisdom at the annual Freshmen-Sophomore reception. The next year found us classifying ourselves as Juniors. To our •lass we added three new members Earl Dick, Vera Johnson and Martha I'owell. Several had left the year before, so these three made a total of twenty-nine. The Junior-Senior banquet showed that we were not satisfied with well-enough, but wanted to do better. This is our last year. We are ready to leave these rooms which we love so well, and most of us are wishing we were Freshmen again. This year our class has greatly increased in number. September, 1921, found thirty-two pupils calling themselves Seniors. Marie Horton, Gladys Harder, Charles Taylor and George Romine came from Garrett ; Grace Broyles from Hammond and Virgil Shonkwiler from Bement. We now have thirty Seniors left. Martha Rowell has gone to Villa Grove High School and Daisy Dobbs has become Mrs. Edward Bridge and is living in Decatur. Every one felt sorry for poor Willie when Martha left because lie looked so sad and lonely. Four of us, Grace Bushell, Wallace Wiley, Edward Parsons and I Hilda Greve started to school together. We went our first three years in the old school building. Our fourth year was in the temporary building, which was more commonly known as the “sheep-shed . Then for the remaining four years we went to the new grade building. The boys of this class have done exceedingly well in athletics. In our Freshmen year, Hugh, Claude and Richard were on the basketball team that won the District Tournament at Decatur. We also had representatives in football and track. Through the Sophomore and Junior years we had other athletes added to the list. As Seniors, we find Ware as captain of the All-Star State Basketball team and Harshbarger and Manaugh are members of the second team. THE POST Other school activities have also appealed to our class. Orchestra, Glee Clubs and Oratorical have good representatives. We have always had a good class spirit, and we hope to set a good example for those following us. —Grace Bushel], '22.

THE POST HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS In the year 1919 a bewildered crowd, which were thirty in number, entered the A. T. II. S. They wandered around, searching the assembly hall, but in vain they searched. One brave youth, it must have been our noble “Doc” Thrasher, ventured a little farther and found the assembly hall at last. As they filed down the narrow aisle of the North side, they little knew what was going to happen to them. Our ignorance was vast. When Mr. Sutton spoke of “Conflicts” in our programs, some of us did not even know what he was talking about. After we were dismissed, we found our witty Percy, who is not to be conquered in the field of wisdom, shuffling through the pages of tin dictionary. After some days we became accustomed to our new surroundings and settled down to work. P y the end of tin first year the Freshmen had distinguished themselves in many ways. The girls had taken an interest in the campfire and (!lee Club', while Elby. Percy, Kenneth, Arthur and Clark represented our class in athletics. Arthur Maxey entered in the oratorical contest for the boys declamation and won at the county contest. The year 1920 found us with twenty-three members. This year our paths were darkened by the death of one of our members, Carl Harshbarger. We did our part in oratorical contest, being represented again by Arthur Maxey. We kept up our standards in athletics also. Our third year opened more brightly than the others. Twenty Juniors came to take their places next to the Seniors. We are a very resourceful class we think. We have two members of the High School Quartette, three members of the Orchestra, and several members that enter in oratorical work. Almost all the boys represent our class in athletics. We have a very good record so far, and we hope to even more for our school in next year's work before we leave tin dear old orange and black.

THE POST SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY August 30, 1920 forty-uiue young men and women, designated as “Presides” entered an immense Imilding called the Atwood Township High School. Some were from near Arthur, some from Garrett, some from the Easton, Raker and Harshharger schools, and still others from other places. We were told by some (elderly) men and women that our place was the first three or four rows from the North side of the room, so we seated ourselves accordingly. September 3, 1921 was the first call for football and the “Presides” gave two good men. Stoughton Reeder and Richard Harshharger. September 17th we were given what was called a reception but what was really a program for tin upper classmen at the expense of the “Preshies . Ve took it all in good part though and gave in return. a “Kid Party”. Even the staid old Seniors wore half-socks. Arthur Maxev and Clara Hawkins received a prize for being the best locking “kid couple”. Of course we had Stote and Richard as representatives for the basketball team, and Stote as representative for the track team. Ye also had representatives in the oratorical contests. In the public speaking play we had several participants. During practice for the first operetta ever given in Atwood, Harry Hofsas, one of the representatives in said “Captain of Plymouth punctured the ceiling dur- ing a sham battle. Of course you know that if it had not been for the “Presides the operetta would not have been a success. Things are always that way. At the beginning of the next school term only thirty-nine old pupils came back. One. Anna Weatherford, being unable to return to school on account of sickness and others for various reasons. Rut we had two new classmates, Thelma Arnett and Rert Poster. During early winter we were saddened by the death of one of our school mates, a loved and honored friend, Ansel Cameron. Again Stote and Richard are our representatives in football, basket ball and track. We think Harry Auld is very good material for track too. In the public speaking, play, the operetta, the orchestra ahd numerous other things we had representatives from what is now the Sophomore class. As “Fresh-ies” we had to give a party to the Sophomores, now a party is due us. At the end of this school term you find us hopefully anticipating the next, school year when we hope to enter the old A. T. II.S. as Juniors. Max Perrin, '24.

THE POST FRESHMAN CLASS PROPHECY I had spent (lie Summer of 192b touring Europe and was on my homeward trip. After being on the ocean for about two days, I was certainly surprised when I ran across Harold Randall, who had been to France on a business trip Woohvorth Company, ID was just returning. We spent most of our voyage talking about old times especially about the good times in High School. After reaching America, I left Harold and dropped off a few days in New York where I found to my deligh • and surpirse Dorsey Martin, who was working in one of the large stores there. I asked her about some of my friends. She said if I would stay with her a few days that we would spend most of our time visiting. From her I learned that about five of my classmates lived there in New York. She took me to Kennie Tuttle's home where he and his wife, formerly Lola Merkling, were living. Lola had asked Adeline Langbrebe in to dinner, which made it the jollier. Adeline was bookkeeper in one of the banks there. The next day ■ torsev took me to one of t he 'aIV' and to my surprise doe Walsh was cashier. I chatted with him a while but had to hurry because I was leaving on the next train headed for Atwood. When the conductor came for my ticket, what was my astonishment when 1 saw that he was John Peters. After taking up the tickets, he came back and talked to me. -My next stop was at Chicago. I did not tarry long there, but long enough to find out that Harney and his wife were living there. Helen Garrett was a great singer and dancer at the Rlackstone Theatre and was very successful. Irwin Slmnkwiler was acting as a comedian in the same theatre. I leftChicago and did not meet any more of my friends until I came to Champaign where Gladys Medaris, Paul Evans, Erwin Holes, Opal Harnhardt and Lois Harder were going to the l of I. They said they were having the time of their lives. I stayed with them a few days and then left for “dear old Atwood”. As I neared Atwood 1 looked out of the window and there sitting on a cultivator, watching the train go by, was Harry Owen. At Atwood more surprises awaited me. As I passed the Globe theatre 1 saw Herniece Starr at the ticket window selling tickets. At home I told the folks all the news about my classmates. Dorcas, who was a stenographer at the Big Four shops at Crbana, was visiting at home. We decided that we would have a class party for those of my class mates who eOuld come. I found out that Millard Monroe and Gladys Wildman were married and were running a dairy farm. James Edmondson and Thelma Perrin had eloped and no one knew where they were. Mary Stirrett was working in the First National Hank; William Kainm was in business with his father; Della Rairden was married and was living near Atwood and Carl Hushell, our Ichabod artist, had gone to France to study art and was fast becoming famous. We can not have all play and no work, so after the party was over I began to write a book on my travels through Europe. Juanita Ha i s 1 barger, '25.

THE POST MUSIC The most interested department in the Atwood Township High School, and one which lias done its share in obtaining honor and recognition for the entire school, is the department of music. The opportunity our music department offered the students, who were qualified to participate in the various musical organizations in the school, were of no small importance. The organization in which the boys lad music twice a week has made a great progress in training some of the boys, who before thought they could not sing. The same progress has taken place among the girls, who also had music twice a week, but the progress was more distinguished among the boys, although both departments did fine work for which work regular credit has been extended. Besides the required technical and theoretical classes in music, there were various elective organizations opened to all students qualified for special work. One of the popular organizations was the Girl's Glee Club. It included thirty members and it afforded an excellent opportunity for development in chorus work, group and part singing. This department met twice a week after school. It was a great ileal of pleasure for many of the girls to learn and practice new songs and every one seemed to be very interested in the work accomplished. There was credit extended for this department that encouraged many to take the advantage of such an opportunity. The sixteen piece orchestra was probably the most popular musical organization judging from demand. Scarcely a school entertainment was given that did not require the orchestra’s service. While practically all of the players were beginners, by the end of the term a remarkable improvement was noticed. This was due to systematical and excellent training. This department had regular practice two evenings out of each week and much interest was shown by all of its members. The communis- i- proud of ou- orchestui and their appreciation was surely an inspiration to the players. With the growing importance of the orchestra, the Hoys Quartette has had a little rest, but no thought to fineer—a perfect romance when called upon. The Girls Sextette lias proved very popular. It was composed of six girls singing three part music. This group has sung several pleasing songs of the day, and has appeared successfully in feature numbers. This group has done splendid work and has set a high standard for all future work of this kind. During the school term the “Gypsy Rover , an operetta for mixed voices was successfully given. The characters of the work showed diligent training and reflected much credit to all concerned Gueuelle Duketnan. THE POST THE CAMP FIRE The Atwood Township High School can easily boast of two of the liveliest, most wide-awake Campfire organizations in Central Illinois. The Aktatci camp is composed of thirteen .Junior and Senior girls while twelve Sophomore and Freshmen girls make up the Xaw-akwa camp. With the proceeds realized from various candy and bakery sales and our play, last Summer, we enjoyed a week's camping party at Fairies Park, near Decatur. There were twelve of us girls who with our two guardians arrived at the park duly 12. During the week many more of our girls came, some for only a few days and some for the remainder of the week. Everyone of the girls practiced that part of our law which says, “Be Happy” to its fullest extent the whole week. We want to go camping this Summer and in order to do so we have been busy making money in various ways. We hope that this year more of us will learn how to swim, but Campfire means much more to us than our summer ramping trip. Beads, the honor for which we all strive, bring more to us than simply the wooden symbols. They bring ns knowledge, for example if we are able to give the biography of five musical composers we earn a patriotic bead, it also brings us proficiency in hand work. If we make our ceremonial gowns we earn a handcraft bead. We all enjoy making these, embroidering our symbols upon the front of them and adorning them with other decorations. Many of the girls have very attractive gowns, indeed. We profit by our names very much and also enjoy helping the new girls pick out theirs. We choose Indian names or in some instances make our names just as the wonderful word wo-he-lo is made from the first two letters of each of the three words, Work, Health and Love. Because the desire of one of our girls was happiness, not only to be happy, but to make others happy, she chose the Indian name Owassia which means happiness. She chose as her symbol the bluebird, for what is a greater spreader of happiness than that little bird. Another of the girls could think of no greater desire on her part than to spread happiness and cheerfulness, so she took the first letters of these words as her name, 11a-Chee. She choose as her symbol the happy little creature the chipmunk. Thus, as you can plainly see, we have many good times and learn so very much that every girl should belong to the campfire in order that she might get as much as possible from her home and school life. ■, ’21. I’earl Ilarshbarger THE POST GOOD ENGLISH WEEK Good English week in tin A. T. II. S. was hailed as a speechless week. Why? Almost everyone thought it better to keep their thoughts to themselves than to wear a green tag thus indicating they could not use the best of Englis li However, one seldom saw a student without one or a countless number of those green medals. If we hadn't known better, we might have thought that these newly ornamented ones were world war lieros or noted athletes with their medals of honor. On every room and corridor, on this memorable week, were found posters reminding ns in some way that we should use good English. Some of the posters were very cleverly designed. Every minute of the day we were reminded of the fact that we should speak perfect English Slogans were placed on the black boards in the class rooms, and were changed every day. This aided in keeping our thoughts directed toward good English. Even our English teacher entered the assembly Tuesday morning with a neat little green tag dangling from a button on her sweater and there were many more accompanying it before the week dragged to an end. But she wasn't alone in her honor of wearing the “medals”. Almost everyone of the faculty, if they could not talk themselves out of it, wore one or more of the telltales. Glory be to some of the students who escaped wearing the green tell tales because of the close watch kept on the faculty. Although we had lots of fun during the week of misery for some, “lie don't” and “1 ain't don’t, enter into our speech nearly as much as it did before. ARE WE PERFECT? Grammar is a thing to be had. And we can't get it from dad. English is an essential requirement, Though some go through it as a barbed wire entanglement. Speak perfect grammar we must la st our mental cogs collect rust. To make good in business this is necessary So let’s don’t be contrary. We can not linger along the way For we're sure this doesn’t pay So let’s hit poor English hard And of good English never get tired. Now here’s to the teachers fair A mistake for them should be rare. Though one seeps in once in awhile And over the faces of the pupils spreads a smile. — Elby Stark, '23. THE POST ANCIENT Sightseeing On Thursday, October 1:2th at eleven-thirty o'clock, three automobiles left, the Atwood Township High School for the University of Illinois. In these machines were seventeen people, twelve pupils of the Ancient History class, the teacher Miss Hiatt, and four of the parents of the pupils. We arrived at the university at one o'clock and went to the Natural History Museum. In the museum we saw the mummy of a child which was found in Utah. The body was of a brown color; it had one arm off which had been broken when it was being taken from its resting place. We could see the finger nails and hair. We saw several other interesting things in this museum, but the mummy was of most importance to Ancient History. Next we went to Lincoln Hall which contained a classical museum. In one room we saw many different kinds of coins, also there were different kinds of glassware which was beautifully colored. A big box about, six feet long, two feet wide and four feet high was in one corner of the room. It had pictures on it. This box was the reproduction of a casket in which the Egyptians put their mummies. We saw pictures of people from Crete. Both men and women had very small waists. We saw many statues of men and women. HISTORY In another room there was the model of a Roman house which was very interesting indeed. Also there was the plan of Rome, but I could not count all of the seven hills upon which the city is built. There were many interesting pictures, some in racks and some around the walls. In the corner of a big glass case there was the model of a chariot, also many other things taken from the life of Caesar, such as the arrow shooters and the apparatus with which they dropped huge rocks on their enemies. In still another room there were many tablets from Babylonia which had cuneiform writing on them. We saw a reproduction of the paper cast taken from the Rosetta stone. It had three different kinds of writing on it; at the top hieroglyphics, in the middle a later form of Egyptian writing and at the bottom Greek writing. In a big case there were many small articles from Babylonia and Egypt. There was the mummy of a crow; it seems queer that the people should mumifv birds. Out on the campus there was a sun dial; it did not agree exactly with our watches however. At four-thirty o'clock we all left the university en route for Atwood, very much satisfied with our trip.

The aim of this department is to teach the students to observe and compare things; think for himself and draw his own conclusions but to profit bv the experiences and opinions of those who have devoted a life time to the study. This habit of observation and thinking should help him make sane judgments and choices in his everyday life. Chemistry lias to do with the composition of things. Everywhere about us is seen the work of the chemist, in the making of food products, steel, paper, glass.crock-cry, b athe] goods and matches, in photography and in the bleaching and dying of cloth. Hosts of other manufactured products synthetic rubber, oils and even gems are the products of the chemist’s art. Among the marvels of modern chemistry are the thousands of things made from coal: medicine, flavoring extracts, perfumes, dyes, illuminating gas, fatal war gas and coke. We depend upon the chemist to tell us what the food we use contains; how it acts upon the body, and whether we are buying good food or an adulterated and somtimes harmful product. Biology, the science of living things, helps students get a bettei understanding of life as a whole. It not only trains them to observe and think but to get genuine pleasure and enjoyment out of the beauties of nature. Biology has a THE POST direct relation to public health. Modern Science lias done much to teach the principle of hygiene, control the spread of disease and provide a pure water supply and wholesome food. These studies are foundations for many professions as. agricul- ture. engineering and medicine. They have a general cultural value also. It is hoped that the interest of many students has been aroused to further study along some of these lines. Hose Oergel. THE POST HOME ECONOMICS Tin 1 Ionic Economics work is organized under the Smith-Hughes law. This law provides, when certain requirements are fulfilled as to equipment, course of study, time etc. and the work approved by the State Supervisor, that the school shall he reimbursed with • fate money. A four year course is offered, though a two-year course may he selected. The third and fourth year work is alternated. Tin Smith-IIughes act also rc-quires that a related science he carried along with the Home Economic work. Related science and related art are the regular courses in science and art in which definite application is marie to homemaking problems. These classes may also be reimbursed if offered to segregated classes. It is quite important that students when scl: •ting work in Home Economies should make definite plans in the arranging their schedule for carrying the required science. The Home Economics work is organized as follows: (iarment making and elementary dress making, 1st semester. Dressmaking, 1st semester. Principles of cookery, 1st semester. Meal planning and serving, 1st si mester. House planning and house furnishing, 1st semester. Household management and home sanitation, 1st semester. Advanced dressmaking. 1st semester. Dietetics, invalid cookery, child care, 1st semester. THE POST Related Science: Physiology and Geography ot Textiles, 2nd Semester and clothing or General Science. Zoology and Botany, 1st semester each. Physics or Chemistry, 2nd semester. American History and Economic, 2nd semester. The aim of the Home Economic work is the training of girls to be more useful and competent home daughters; to develop a feeling of responsibility as members of the family group, thus contributing to their social efficiency. The aim of the work in sewing is not only to attain skill in garment making and the nse of patterns but to learn to know materials and values so that they may select and buy intelligently for all must select and buy though all may not make garments. The work in foods aims not onh to give skill in cooking but by thorough study of the composition of food materials and food values in relation to cost; learn to buy and select the foods and amounts the body needs—that they may learn “to buy health instead of sickness-’. Practice in the actual planning, cocking and serving of meals is given in the second semester work. •Inst now much interest is being taken in the serving of meals as new equipment has been added to the dining room. A set of Bavaria China dishes, glass ware, etc. lia-i been purchased which in addition to the already complete set of silver makes the dining room equipment quite complete. Curtains for the dining room windows have been selected, made and hung by the class in house-furnishing. An exhibit of the work in cooking and sewing is made each Spring in connection with the annual High School exhibit. Practical experience has been given this year by the girls helping in the serving of the Agricultural Club dinner to the fathers, and tin basketball dinner. They also prepared and served a luncheon to about twenty teachers attending teachers' institute. The class enrollment has been increased this year and it is the hope of the department that it may even be larger next year. THE POST TYPEWRITING Typing is one of the most practical and useful studies that a High School student can take up, no matter what occupation or trade one intends to follow on having school, typing will always he a great help, for the keys to a greater service and a greater income are the keys of your typewriter. The typewriting room of the Atwood Township High School is at tin west end of the corridor on tin main floor, and is equipped with the teacher's desk and ten No. 10 Remington typewriters. Twenty hoys and eight girls are taking typing. The typewriters are in use most every period during the day. All work handed in must he perfect. Copies are often handed in which are not perfect, but they must be re-written; the best policy is to remember always that if a thing is worth doing at all it is worth doing right. All students have shown much interest in work; some of the ways by which interest has been secured during the year are: Contests, in which all classes took part, losers entertaining winners; typing with music, thus securing rhythm and evenness of touch; blind folding contests by which the benefits of touch system are shown. Splendid wot k is being done by most students and a prize of $5.00 will be given for best typist at end of year. Although typing is very interesting at all times it causes us to almost lose our patience at other times, it leads us far into the business world for success and we should never call any time lost which we spend in practice for the earnings of every typist are in his or her machine and the skill with which they operate it. THE POST A. T. H. S. AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT Our “Ag.” department consists of three classes as follows: Soil and Crops—Five Freshmen. Animal Husbandry— Eleven Sophomores and Juniors Farm Management and SO! Fertility—Six Seniors. At the beginning or the year an agricultural club was formed with the following officers: Joe Raker—Presided. Keith Kim in el—Viee President. Niel Reedy—Secretary and Treasurer. Its function is to serve as an instrument through which agriculture extension work may be realized. The Club meetings are strictly social in character. The following activities have been exceedingly successful. A farm products exhibit and a mina-ture farm at the fall festival. The visualization of the Illinois Utility Corn score card. The latter was exhibited at the Dement short course. A father and sons banquet. Mr. Nolan and Mr. Reid of the agricultural Education Department of the U. of I. attended. An old fashioned agricultural round up which was held in February. The door receipts were used to buy a stage curtain for our gymnasium. A trip was also made to the university of Illinois and the Meharry Soy Mean farm at Tolono. A demonstration sweet clover project is to be run on the school farm showing the relative effect of different commercial fertilizers. THE POST MANUAL TRAINING The Manual Training department of our school is steadily increasing from year to year, in the way of equipment. In the year 1921-22, i he school purchased an electric driven, combination machine, consisting of one band saw, a circular saw, a planer and jointer and a mortice drill. This was a great help in the way of cutting curved designs and planing rough lumber. The purpose of this Manual course is to learn one to saw straight, drive a nail without hitting a finger and to help a person to get a living if need be. Every thing from picture frames and tooth-brush holders to porch swings and houses have been erected this year in our little shop. Several useful pieces have been made out of Oak, Walnut, Birch and soft woods, such as chairs, pedestals, stools, tables. All sorts of racks, piano benches and chests. The painting, finishing, varnishing and staining of woods go with this course in order to make pieces of furniture look natural. Along with the Manual Training, a short course of mechanical drawing is given to give the student a chance to know his article, and to be able to figure out some real problems in the making of different joints, corners, styles and the art of design. On the whole the Manual course is both agreeable and necessary to the average person in such a country as ours. I lam .

Eight programs were given, four by the Platonian society and four by tin Wrytonian society. The first program given by the Platonians was indeed very good. It included a comical play, “The Womanless Wedding . The giant of (lie Junior class, Carl Thrasher, was the groom, and the dwarf of the Senior class, Harold Stevens, was the bride. The Wrytonian program of October the twenty-eighth, which included a negro debate, “Ghostes er not Ghostes was very interesting. The judges decided that “Ghostes” did exist. The Christinas program was given by the Wrytonian Society. December the twenty-third. Several very good Christmas readings were given by students who intended to take part in the oratorical contests. The two societies had a contest to see who could sell the most subscriptions to the ‘‘Country Gentleman . The society which lost was to entertain the other society. The Platonians won the contest and were entertained at a backward party by the Wrytonians. The orchestra and Glee Club, which are under the supervision of Mr. Burns, have added a great interest to the literary programs. We feel that we should like for our literary society programs to be quite as successful as our athletics have been.

Oh, ma! Little Alice swallowed a big chunk of ice. It was awful slick, but she had to stretch her neck and gulp before it went down. After a while she held her stomach and said ‘burn, burn’!” After Bobbie, who was six, had excitedly told this incident to his mother, she grabbed up the baby and shook her roughly, because she was getting black in the face for want of breath. Present she got a little air and began to cry loudly. The mother was more relieved now and said rather sharply “Bobbie, why did you give baby that ice? Haven't I told you not to give her small pieces?” Bobbie looked rather sheepish and answered. “Gee, ma, sis has grown a lot or her neck is bigger; the last time she couldn’t swallow that big a piece, cause 1 tried to get her to.” “But”, said his mother, surprised, “look at poor sister now, aren't you ashamed to treat her so mean?” “She’s all right now, ma, ’cause that ice is melted,” replied Bobbie as he playfully swung on the doorknob. Hugh Harshbarger, '22. THE RAG MAN I had been playing in the sand in the back-yard for almost an hour, when I heard a loud “whoa” seemingly from the front gate. .Jumping up, I ran full speed around the corner of tin house, but—one look, and I came back as quickly, and crawled into a barrel. There was a big man that had just tied his horse, and was getting a big sack out of the wagon. That sack gave him away. At once, 1 knew he was after me, to take a little boy away from his mother as other little children had been taken away. Sammy Collins’ mother told him that if he didn’t be good the bad man would get him someday. Could this be that very man? Well, he couldn’t get me. But he might look in the barrel and then he would have his runaway in a trap. No, I will run and hide under the back porch steps, but diving under there, a large flock of chickens flew out and continued cackling and making such a noise that the man would be sure to find me. Rushing around the other corner what didn't I do, but run squarely into him. If his sack had been open, I would have been a goner, but instead 1 nearly wrecked him, so much that he fell down on his knees. THE POST Well, lie just sat there and laughed and laughed. “You’re in a powerful hurry, kid, he said. He fumbled down in his pocket, i feared to get a rope or something hut to my surpise he handed me a large red apple. My idea of the rag man had changed. Joe Baker, 22. RICHARD ROBERTS. THIEF Dick Roberts and his sister, June, were on a street car. It was so crowded there was hardly standing room. Dick was a fun loving boy, and this morning his eyes were shining with mischief. It would be a fine time to play a trick on June, so he slyly slipped his hand in her coat pocket, took out her purse, and transferred it to his pocket without her even noticing it. When they got off the street car Dick was in the best of spirits. The only thing that worried him was how to get June to notice her loss. Then he said “Say, June Bug, let’s go get some ice cream. I'll pay the hill.” “Dick Roberts, I‘ll not eat ice cream with anyone who calls me ‘June Bug’,’’ she said. “All right then, if June suits you better, let’s have some ice cream.” After they had finished their cream, Dick examining the contents of his purse, said “Say, June, I guess you’ll have to help me out with this hill. I haven't as much cash as I though.” He watched her look for her pocketbook and a broad smile played on his face. Then it changed into a frown of perplexity for June found her pocketbook. “Say, did you have two?” he broke out. “Two pocket books? Why no.” Just then a policeman came in. “So you’re spending it already, eh? I've been following you but could not get nearer than a block to you.” He caught Dick by the shoulder and whirled him around. “Why Richard Roberts, you didn't steal—” “Yes, I guess I did, Mr. Smith, hut I didn’t mean to.” “Oh, I see now why you didn’t have enough money to pay for our ice cream” said June, “and why you though I had two pocketbooks. 1 guess you put your hand in the wrong pocket that time. You give that pocketbook to Mr. Smith, Dick. The policeman broke into a big, hearty laugh. “You're just like your father used to be, he said. Norma Hussey, ’22. THE WINNER “What is that noise?” Asked Unde Jim, as a crash reached our ears. There followed groans and other lamentations made between gasping breaths. “Mercy on us” exclaimed my aunt. “It's those children again!” It was indeed those children. Ever since Uncle Jim and Aunt Emma had come to visit ns from far off Montana, my small brother George, and cousin Rodger, had been constantly quarreling in a THE POST fashion which would have done credit to Jack Dempsey. Since the hoys were about the same age, the quarrels were won sometimes by one and sometimes by the other. “Well, 1 will see about them” said my mother, as she hurriedly left the room. She found them engaged in a take-and-give fight in the center of a large Morris (hair. •lust as she entered George seized Rodger around the waist and tried to throw him down to the floor. The attempt was too much for George. lie lost his balance, and both went in a clawing, kicking. crying confusion of arms and legs upon the floor. Mother tried to separate them, but they clung to each other, still fighting. “Can’t cha’ let us fight in peace?” gasped George, as he punched his opponent in the jaw. Hy this time Aunt Emma had entered, and with her help, mother separated them. They were botli a “pretty looking mess”. Their clothes were torn, their noses bleeding and George had a black eye. Mother gave George a severe whipping to teach him to treat his guest with more respect. When he appeared in the parlor clean and fresh again, lie was the object of much ridicule. As he was leaving, having furnished his share of the “fun”. Uncle dim called, “Wait, George, who whipped in the big scrap?” George flung back indignantly, “My mamma whipped all right and hard, too.” Roscoe Long, ’24 1 WISH I WERE A MINISTER My pa lie went to Chicago last Summer to see about his business up there. While lie was gone, 1 thought I would be good; so I got his silk hat which was very dirty, and taking some soap and water, I gave it a good scrubbing. I s'pose he didn't like it, 'cause he gave me two awful fierce cracks on the mouth when lie saw what I had done. About a week after this, I took Hill, pa’s carriage horse, out in a clover field near our house, so’s he could eat clover, and lie got away and after getting foundered, he died. 1 know pa was awful mad about this, for I heard him say some real bad words. That night he called me in the sitting room. Then I knew I was going to catch it, because I knew he prized Hill a lot. He began to tell me how bad I had been, and that he was going to reform me, whatever that is. 1 ’spose he meant that he was going to make me feel bad, ’cause that’s what he did. He said I had to quit playin' with the gang for a whole week. He said 1 was to attend church and Sunday School every time there was a meeting.

FOOTBALL TEAM lop Row Tuttle, Braithwaite, Reedy, Ware, Coach Hamilton, S. Reeder, Maxey, Manaugh. Bottom Row —Wiley. Hofsas, Capt. Kimmel, Riggs, Anderson. Wyeth. W Reeder. Quick, A. Iiarshbarger. THE POST FOOTBALL At tIk first call of the season nearly thirty huskies came trotting on the field, dressed in anythin} : they could find. With the loss id' Wilson. Stark and 11. Harsh ha rger, the team had to he started over again. Kinmel was elected captain and led his team through seven hard games, winning five. During tin middle of tin season .Manaugh, our quarter hack, was injured so that lie had to quit for remainder of the season. “Cotton” Ware took his place at the “steering wheel and proved a steady driver. -Much credit is due to Coach Hamilton for building a winning team, under ragged condition. (Game No. 1.) Dement 0—Atwood ft (At Home.) Playing before one of the larg est crowds ever assembled o.m our football field, we played Dement to a scoreless tit The teams were evenly matched and both com posed of veterans of last year. It was a battle royal, each team came close to scoring during the game; Dement in Cm first and Atwood in third quarter. (Game No. 2.) Tuscola 7—Atwood ft. This game was our dinks. We started out all puffed up, saying that we would win, and mi it easy. We soon learned that “every .log has his day. We started the game with a whirl, hut they held us. The line would not function, and the back field was not working. The only touchdown was made on an Atwood fumble and a long run followed. The field was muddy and every one was numbed by a cold North wind. (Game No. 3.) Areola 0—Atwood 7 (At Areola.) Minus Manaugh. our quarter-hack, we journeyed down to • the village of Areola, with down-cast heads, thinking we were due for a good drubbing. Hut we came through. It was a victory by mere luck and the good work of the line. The score was nothing like the game. Atwood's fighting line held our opponents the entire game all with one exception of one down. (Game No. 4.) Sullivan 0—Atwood 36. I At Sullivan. I Atwood’s light, hut fast eleven, traveled to Sullivan to tangle with the supposed-to-be fast team. They had held the Decatur eleven to a scoreless tie. Our hoys went THE POST through them without much opposition; the game being a listless affair, both teams pulling “boners” It was in this game that “Stote” Reeder hurt his back. Only once did the Sullivan team threaten to score and this was by a long pass over the heads of the back field, but some one made a neat flying tackle. (Game Xo. 5.) Bement 7—Atwood 0. (At Bement.) Followed by a large crowd of rooters, the Atwood team sallied forth to Bement. The first quarter of the game was exciting. The opponents could come through the line at will, it seemed. Twice during the first half the Bement squad forced Atwood back to the goal line, but both times our line held for downs and Ware’s punts put the ball out of danger. The second quarter neither team seemed to gain much ground. At the half time the score was 0 to 0. To the rooters of both teams it looked as though the score would remain that way. In the third quarter the Atwood team settled down, but in one instance, they ran clear through our boys fora touch-down. Then after this the home boys came back with the old pep and started forcing the Bement boys back; the whistle was all that saved the game from being a tie. (Game Xo. .) Atwood 7—Newman 0. (At X'ewman.) This game was a good game but Atwood had the best team beyond a doubt. The field was soft and spongy, making a fast game impossible. This caused open field running on both sides to be slow. Atwood was lighter than their opponents but when it came time for the necessary punch they had where Newman didn't and we won. (Game Xo. 7.) Atwood 27—Westville 0. (At Westville.) Journeying in cars to the city of Westville, we gave Guy Coliin’s team one of the worst beatings they ever had. The roads were bad and all were tired on arriving at the mining town. The field was muddy and in places water was standing on it. Atwood started with an aerial attack which took tin Westville warriors off their feet. They then shifted to fakes and when the final whistle blew they found themselves snowed under an avalanche of touchdowns. Summary. Atwood 0 Bement 0 Atwood 0 Tuscola 7 Atwood 7 Areola 0 Atwood .’(( Sullivan 1) Atwood 0 Bement 7 Atwood 7 Xewman 0 Atwood “7 Westville 0 THE POST Prizes The pupils of the High School have won several prizes (luring the school year.

BASKETBALL TEAM Top Row Neil Reedy. Richard Riggs, Richard Harshharger, Percy Holsas, Elhy Stark, Coach Hamilton. Bottom Row Hugh Haishharger, Wayne Reeder, Claude Ware, Stoughton Reeder, La Verne Manaugh. THE POST BASKETBALL The first call for basketball brought out at least 25 boys of all sizes, who were willing to try for a place on the varsity. Claude Ware was elected captain and the season began in earnest. After the team had gone through six straight victories they copped tin County Tournament in a walk. Then after five more straight games they stepped into the District Tournament at Decatur. After they emerged from that they waddled through tin Sectional Tourney, on into the State Tournament for second place. The first team, Ware, Manaugh, II. Harsh Larger, S. Reeder and W. Reeder, played nine tournament games in three weeks without a substitution. The Atwood players are considered the cleanest team in any of the three tournaments, proof of this is, that all through the run of -S games, not a player had been taken from the games on personal fouls. We won -1 straight games. Ware, li. Harshbarger and W. Reeder made the all-star team in the District, while Ware, .Manaugh and S. Reeder made the all-star team in tin Sectional and. Ware, and W. Reeder made the all state selection, “Stote made the second all state team. The second team is worthy of mention because of their steady, patient training of the varsity and there reserve ability. They lost two out of six games and these were against first teams. They are: Riggs, llofsas, R. Harshbarger, Reedy, Stark. .Merritt, Stevens, Anderson. To top the climax, we were invited to the United States National Tournament at Chicago, but didn't go. because of financial affairs, and because of the teams' 1 un-down condition. Fans seem to think we could have made good in this, from the single fact that Rockford entered and won third place. This places a great honor on such a small town to be picked among tin 25 best teams in the United States. THE GAMES—SEASON Hume 15—Atwood 48. (At Home.) This was the first game of the season, and it was on our home floor. The old team seemed to know the game, but at the best their team-work and shooting was very ragged. The Hume quintet was small but mighty, but they could not stop our defense or get through our defense. Atwood was not in danger at any time. This was really a practice game or rather a walk away. THE POST Ilarshbarger led with 10 field goals while Ware got 7, while the rest contributed likewise to the score. Our scrubs went in and held their own as long as they played. We were proud of our showing the first game. Mt. Pulaski 16—Atwood 26. (At Home.) This team had been a favorite this season and had only been beaten by Bement. Of course, ve had to win on that account. The fans will tell you that this was an extra fast game. They tried long shots but to no avail. The home team was going good and kept in the lead during the whole game, which ended 20 to l(i in Atwood's favor. The team as a whole worked good, although they could be improved considerable. But to the fans we had developed won h r fully since the Hume game. Ware got five goals, Ilarshbarger four, and Higgs two. Again the Reeder showed their worth as guards. Monticeilo 14—Atwood 18. (At Monticeilo.) Prof. Sutton had sent us word that he didn't have much of a team so we were sort of confident and they nearly gave us the slip. The game was fast and furious, although Atwood shot lots more times at tin basket than did Monticeilo. The game ended in a tie of 1-1 to 14 so it was to be in an over time game. Somehow, to the disappointment of the ('aunty Sear, we registered two baskets while our opponents held the sack. Our team have come to the conclusion that Monticeilo can play basketball by the way they roughed us. Ware worked under heavy guarding and was unlucky at goals. Ilarshbarger made (i field goals, while both Reeders and Ware got one apiece. Arthur 13—Atwood 27 (At Arthur.) After a period of one year's rest against our South neighbor, we again took up (lie fight and fought them so fast that they only managed to get two field baskets. They could not stop the Ilarshbarger, Ware and Manaugh scoring combination. Lots of shots were missed but the playing was clean. Arthur’ could not get through our defense and they could not hold our offense so tin home team again showed their superiority of the game. The two Reeders put up a clever brand of defense while Higgs contributed to the win with his team work. THE SECONDS Arthur 7—Atwood 13 (At Arthur.) The Seconds went to Arthur with the firsts and lead the floor in a curtain raiser. They played with ease and showed their superior team work over the “big boys . The score was close the first half but at no time was the game really fast. Ilarshbarger drew the most baskets while the guards held the team to one field goal. Sullivan 12—Atwood 36 (At Home.) The snappy, little Sullivan five arrived in the village expecting to THE POST carry off the bacon. Hut when they left they admitted that we were entirely too good for them. Although the new, light, lop-sided ball was rather “tricky” we managed to net .'{(! points to their 12. Team work had improved considerable from the previous games and ('aptain Ware showed a decided improvement in basket shooting by sinking 7 field goals. The two Reeder brothers, at guards, showed the crowd that they could hold down their jobs with ease. Manaugh tossed four field goals and worked in with the team in an admiring style. THE SECONDS Bement 12—Atwood 13 (At Bement.) The scrubs went to Bement the same night the varsity played Sullivan. The game was rather fast but our fellows managed to run the score up 10 to 0 the first half in favor of Atwood. Then they pushed in a couple of their varsity subs, and started to drop them at all angles. The score stood 12 to 12 and llofsas dropped a tree-throw, winning the game. Merritt led the floor with two field goals while Stark and Hofsas tossed one apiece. The guards, Reedy, Stevens and Harshbarger, showed their ability to guard by the small score. Bement 12—Atwood 25 (At Home.) With constant practice on the part of Bement to stop only Atwood was their desire as they drove down here in the snow The game was fast and was a little rough at times. The home team could not count a regular as they had been doing, as was indicated at the half which ended S to S. But in the last the boys came back with the old “pep and counted up 17 points to Bern cut’s 4. They could not stop the scoring combination with their defense or roughness. Captain Ware was first in the scoring with five field goals while W ayne Reeder dropped three. Harshbarger and Manaugh could not hit the basket with their customary accuracy, S. Reeder counted for one field goal. THE SECONDS Bement 22—Atwood 23 (At Home.) As a curtain raiser to the big game, the Atwood Scrubs swamped the Bement Seconds by lead of one point. The home bunch started with the first basket, but it was neither teams’ game until the final whistle. First one team would get a goal for the lead then the other would cage one for the lead. Hofsas, Stark, Merritt and Harsh-barger led tin offense while Reedy and Stevens managed the defense. The shooting was ragged and the team work was not the best but our Scrubs are noted for their one-point leads. COUNTY TOURNAMENT Mansfield 20—Atwood 24. The fans were given a scare in this game, because Mansfield proved to be a dark horse. They secured nine points before Atwood THE POST could get any. After a slight change was made then they began to even the score. The home tc..n could not hit the hoop but we finally pushed them out bv a tie at the end of the game. In the final minutes over time, Harshbarger added a long one while Ware got two free-throws. While the Atwood five was unlucky in basket shooting. Ware and .Manaugh got 2 goals apiece, while Harshbarger got 2. The Reeders played their same old defensive game. COUNTY TOURNAMENT Monticello T9—Atwood 28. Atwood's five showed the best basketball of the tournament, in the championship game and there was never a doubt as to the winner, five minutes after the whistle blew. Hamilton's team passed dribbled and shot baskets during the first half in direct contrast to their exhibition against .Mansfield, and at the end of the first quarter were leading 12 to 3 by the good work of II. Harshbarger at the net. II. Harshbarger and Ware did practically all tin scoring for the champions, the former getting six field goals and the latter three goals and seven free throws. .Manaugh got one field goal and the Reeders worked wonders in their eleventh straight victory. Atwood showed a high brand of basketball, as it would have taken one of the best prep, teams in the state, to have stopped them.—Decatur Review. SECOND TEAM Atwood 28—Arthur 3. The Second team kept up their standard by again winning over Arthur's Second team with a score of twenty-eight to three. Hofsas, Stark and Harshbarger were stars of the game and this shows that we have a good beginning for next year. Arthur will keep quiet now, because we have beaten each team badly in two games apiece. FIRST TEAM Arthur 1—Atwood 41. On February 3, we got Arthur's second goat by completely walking over them. The Atwood team could dribble, pivot, pass and shoot as few teams in the state can do. Each member of the team was playing up to their usual standard and showed quite an improvement since t he last Atwood-Arthur game Again tin fast guards showed their old time pep by holding their opponents to one field goal. .Vs usual the center and forwards were liberal with their contributions toward the cause. At thebe-ginning of the second half the Coach was sure enough of the score that he made some wise substitutions. Ware played a stellar game by making nine field goals and five free throws. Stark the snappy little second team forward, played in both games. He made a brilliant showing. We hope Arthur will cut out some of their high talk. THE POST Maroa 7—Atwood 44. (At Home.) Confident of a win, the Maroa quintet with two stars, came prancing out on the floor, and several people predicted a defeat for the home boys. Hut like a flash out of clear sky, the Atwood five played circles around the flashy visitors. Passing, pivoting, and shooting was the feature of the home team. Many people said that it was the fastest game they had seen while others said the hall went so fast that they could not keep track of it. Ware “souped” nine field goals, while llarshharger got six, Manaugh .‘5 and W. Reeder got 2. The team played stellar ball while the Reeders displayed the old guarding by holding them to .‘1 goals. The Seconds played most of tin last quarter and held their own. Sullivan 10—Atwood 41. (At Sullivan.) Taking our Firsts to Sullivan while our Seconds played Tuscola, at home, we romped through them on their own big floor until the half was 20 to 1. Although Sullivan got lots of shots and our team work was not tin best, we got along as well as could la expected on a large floor. One improvement in the game was the dividing of shots and the ability of any one of the team to shoot, llarshharger got 0 field goals, Manaugh and Ware 4 apiece while M . Reeder came through with 5. S. Reeder played his usual good game at back guard. As a whole the home bunch looked good against a fast team on a big floor. Tuscola 17—Atwood 13. (At Home.) IN hile the Firsts trounced Sullivan. the Seconds were at home trying to snow Tuscola's Firsts. And it seemed as though they might do it by the showing in the first half. Although several short shots were missed, it seemed like the boys did well against a First team aggregation. Richard llarshbarg-er managed to get 4 field goals while Hofsas got 2 goals and a foul. Newman 19—Atwood 29 (At Home.) In a slight surprise, the home team was taken off their feej i,_ a rush of the fast little quintet from Newman. The speedy little team went through our defense time after time for a short shot. Atwood was off in every branch of the game. Not only in basket shooting but in passing. Ware got . field goals while llarshharger and Manaugh got 3 apiece and W. Reeder got 2. The game was fast all the way through and gave the crowd some excitement. The first quarter ended 7 to 4 in favor of Atwood and the half ended 13 to 11 in favor of our boys. Bement 14—Atwood 29. (At Bement.) Taking a large crowd of rooters to the town of threats we romp- THE POST ed through their team for a 15 point lead. The Atwood team did not go so good in the first half owing to the near likeness of sweaters. Hut after flu change the fast Piatt county champions showed the Beinent boys some new methods in the art of basketball. Captain Ware got six field goals while Manaugh got five and Harshbarger two. Half was 5 to 11 for Atwood. Every body from Atwood and surrounding community was there to see Atwood win their fourteenth straight victory, this being the last game before the district tourney. THE SECONDS Hume 28—Atwood 20 (At Hume.) Our Seconds went to Hume the same night the Firsts played Dement, and made a good showing against Hume’s First team on their little floor. It was impossible to pass. All they could do was shoot. The score at the half was 17 to 13 in favor of Hume. The work of Stark was the feature of the game also Anderson at center, played stellar ball. Stark got 5 field goals while Merritt and Anderson got 1 apiece ar.l Richard Harshbarger sunk 2. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Mt. Pulaski, Decatur, Clinton and Bethany All Go Down in Defeat Before Our Classy Quintet. (Game No. 1.) Mt. Pulaski 9—Atwood 22. Atwood showed class in tin final game of the opening day. Coach Hamilton's boys defeated Mt. Pulaski 22-9. The Mt. Pulaski five started off with a jump, and held the lead for five minutes when Tomlinson got two baskets. The orange and black got to working together, and Ware’s brilliant work brought his team to the fore. Mt. Pulaski did all of its scoring in the first three minutes and last two minutes of tin contest. The defensive work of the Reeder brothers and floor play of Ware featured. (Game No. 2.) Atwood 22—Decatur 12 Decatur High was eliminated from the tournament play Friday evening when the clever Atwood quintet defeated them 22-12 in a thrilling game. Coach Muir’s outfit put up a mighty scrap, hut were outclassed by the orange and black five. I'he Muirmen made things interesting during the first half when they copped the lead on Humble's goal. The red and white team was fighting its hardest, while Coach Hamilton's outfit was getting its hearings. The half ended 13 to 9. Cowger’s work was tin outstanding feature of Decatur's play, the speedy captain covering the floor in fine shape and doing some clever dribbling. Veecli was the backbone of the defense, and put up a dandy game. ('apt. Ware and Manaugh each THE POST tossed three goals for Atwood, hut Ware was well covered most of the time. .Mauaugli blew several close shots. As usual, the Reeder brothers played a wonderful defensive game, holding I lie Decatur quintet to four baskets. (Game No. 3.) Atwood 21—Clinton 19. Atwood sailed into the final round of (hi Decatur district basketball tournament Saturday afternoon defeating Clinton 2( -l! in one of the best games of the tournament. Two good teams evenly matched, they served up a tasty helping of basketball to (lit capacity crowd which jammed the gymnasium. Clinton presented a dangerous and effective combination against the rangy Atwood five although the winners had a smoother team play. Throughout the entire first half the game was anybody's and not until the second half when the strenuous pace slowed up the Clinton offense a trifle did Atwood cinch the game and the riveting process was delayed until the last few minutes of play. Roth teams were “hot, Wester-holt, Barrett, Ware and Harsh-burger leading in the scoring. Throughout the entire first half West holt proved a dangerous shot from any place on the court, while the Atwood forwards using a perplexing passing game filtered through the Clinton defense for flings at the hoop. Game No. 4.) Atwood 19—Bethany 10. Atwood won the basketball championship of Decatur district by defeating Bethany 19 to 10 in the final tilt Saturday evening. The Hamilton machine, worn by its tough schedule, was off form most of the game, and the Bethany quintet by hard fighting all the way through constantly threatened. Atwood's defense was working well against the Class B champs, but the offense was unable to get started with Bethany playing the man to man style. At the outset of the game (’apt. Ware of Atwood took a guard position with W. Reeder jumping center, and the shift, which was made to relieve Ware, proved unsatisfactory. With the regular lineup performing the Atwood outfit caught itself in time to swing to the front by the end of the half. Coach Hamilton's men employed their clever passing game to good advantage. The system puzzled the Bethany tossers and their defense was too tight to break through. Wayne Reeder led in the scoring with three goals to his credit, while Harshbarger came through with two ringers in crucial moments. S. Reeder played a steady game at guard, while Man-augli took his place in the machine and did some dandy passing under the basket. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT l Game No. 1.) Jacksonville 28—Atwood 30 The tournament opened Friday afternoon with a thriller, when Atwood nosed out .Jacksonville, 30 to 28. The Jacksonville crew staged THE POST a late rally, and the gun is all that saved the Decatur district winners. After getting away to a slow start. Hamilton's five finally hit its stride, and during the middle part of the game seemed to have everything their way. Ware and Manangh gave Atwood the lead in the second quarter, and Atwood held a Id to ( advantage at half time. In the third period Atwood maintained its lead, increasing it to eleven points in the fourth quarter. With seven minutes to go, Atwood led 30 to l!t. Four long shots, two by Hunter, and one each l v Arter and (ioebel, threw a scare into the ranks. Atwood was dead on its feet in the final minutes. OFFHNKH SLOW. Atwood continued with its easy style, working the ball down for close shots by clever passing. The offense failed to get away as fast as will be essential for a championship team, ('oaeli Hamilton's men need to learn the art of stalling. ( Game No. 2.) Atwood 27—Villa Grove 20. Atwood won its way into t|ie finals by disposing of the Villa Grove quintet 27 to 20. The highly touted Villa Grove outfit failed to be as strong as most fans anticipated, but they gave the Atwood tossers a battle in tin first half. Coach Hamilton’s five after it got into the lead managed to maintain throughout the last half of the contest, but not without hard work. .Manaugh's basket shooting throughout the game, and Ware’s work in the last half featured the. fray. Ilarshbarger went scoreless until the final quarter was half played. Villa Grove had a well balanced little team, but the offense was unable to penetrate the Atwood five man defense. Metzler was probably the most outstanding man, but he had few opportunities to score against the neat guarding of the Reeder brothers. (Game No. 3. | Atwood 29—Bloomington 18. Atwood won the Decatur sectional tournament by defeating Bloomington 2!) to IS, in a thrilling battle on the .Millikin floor last night. A scoring rally in the final period, Manuaugh leading with five baskets, gave Coach Hamilton's team the victory after an uphill battle. After playing off form throughout the entire district and sectional tournamnets, Atwood hit its true stride in the last quarter, going through the rangy Bloomers without opposition. Captain Ware and his team mates deserved tin victory, but they were forced to fight for it every inch of the way. Atwood's superior passing, combined with its impenetrable five man defense, triumphed over tin height and speed of their opponents. McGhee and Niedermeyer, who in other games, have been able to tip in baskets with ease from under the hoop, were fought to a standstill, while the dim inn- THE POST tive Ross seldom found an opening through the stellar defensive work of the Reeder brothers and Ware. The second quarter was featured by close guarding by both teams. Manuaugh’s sleeper and Wayne Reeder’s pretty basket from center, giving Atwood an 11-10 advantage, constituted the scoring. Bloomington had a slight edge in the third period. McGhee booked a sleeper. Ware followed with a shot from the side. Manaugh hit one from the corner, and Ross made a good free throw. Xieder-rneyer came through with a close one and Ross hit a free toss, giving the northerners a 10-lb lead. Following the announcement of all star teams tin two quinets started to battle furiously. Manaugh caged a nice one from the corner. Ilarshbarger got bis first field goal of the contest, a close one. Manaugh counted twice with different shots from the corner. Xiedermeyer made one from the side, but Manaugh duplicated, giving Atwood a 25-18 lead. Harsh-harger and Manaugh each added (dose ones before the game ended. Atwood winning the championship 2! to 18. STATE TOURNAMENT CHAMP-PIONSHIP GAME Atwood 17—Peoria 15 (Game Xo. 1.) Urbana, 111., March 18—Atwood winner of the Decatur district and sectional tournaments, will meet t'entralia the representatives of Southern Illinois, in the championship battle for state prep honors here Saturday night. The Piatt Uounty five after getting away to a bad start in their game with Peoria Uentral here Friday night, showed the same brand of basketball in the final 10 minutes of play, that allowed them to defeat Bloomington in the sectional meet and earned a well deserved victory over the Peorian's by a count of 17 to 15. bed by Captain “Cotton Ware who had not been going his usual fast pace in the early stages of the game, the Atwood five held the Peorians scoreless in the final 10 minutes of play while they registered five points or just enough to nose out the Herkle team. It was not the same Atwood team that their supporters had seen romp through the district and sectional classics for during the entire first half and part of the third quarter Peoria outplayed them but their defense proved strong enough to keep the Tractor city five from running up a very big lead and then they displayed the same last minute attack which put them over in the final second of play. The final quarter was all Atwood even though the only field goals made by them were the two delivered by Ware. The Peoria team was bewildered at the sudden burst of speed displayed by Atwood and in the final minutes captain Anglesea’s men were a nervous crowd. THE POST Failure to work the ball into tlie basket or take advantage of an occasional close shot when they did get by the Reeder brothers proved the Tractor City team's downfall. All, or practically all their attempts were from a great distance but they couldn't sink enough to put over a victory. Even Atwood people had little hope of their team again staging a fourth quarter comeback in this important game but tlie players showed a well directed attack and with the cool Ware as the pivot man out-classed the I’eoria five when the pinch came. Atwood played without committing many fouls while Peoria violated the playing code ten times and Ware hit five of them. It was a happy crowd of fans that rushed down off the bleachers when the gun sounded proclaiming Atwood a winner and they were confident their team will play championship ball in the finals Saturday night. I (lame No. 2.) Centralia 24—Atwood 16. Frbana, March 18—Centralia High School won the state basketball championship by defeating Atwood 24 to 16 in a thrilling game here tonight. After playing on even terms throughout tin first half, Atwood's defense cracked in the final periods, and the fast Southern quintet was enabled to win premier basket honors among Illinois prep schools. The big annex floor was a decided disadvantage to Atwood’s five man defense, while the Centralia style of man to man defense was effective against Coach Lawrence Hamilton’s clever forwards. The work of Captain Cox of Centralia featured the game, the flashy little floor guard evading the Atwood men while he tossed six baskets. COX'S P.ASKETS WIN. Neither team was able to gain any advantage during the first half. Ware, and Cox doing most of the scoring for their teams. After the rest the Centralia outfit came back stronger, two long tosses by Cox in quick succession giving the Egyptians a lead which they held throughout the remainder of the contest. Centralia’s speeedy offense and man to man defense were the deciding factors in the struggle. Captain Ware and his men never gave up fighting but the Ilarsh-barger - Ware - Manaugh scoring combination was unable to continue its pace in the second half, while the Reeder brothers had more than they could handle on the defensive end. Centralia stalled during the last few minutes, while tin big crowd voiced unfavorable sentiments from the bleachers. Atwood backers were much in evidence throughout the battle. Note. The accounts of the tournament games were taken trom the Decatur and Champaign papers at the time the games were played. THE POST SEASON’S RECORD Minutes Played Points W Reeder NSO 00 11.

Senior: “What is that that smells like burnt rubber?” Bright Soph: “Oh, that is Joe Walsh, the rubber neck Freshman with his neck against the stove.” Stote had a dream the other night. He dreamed he went to Hades. There the devil and all his children met Stote. “How are you, Stote, old boy?” asked the devil. “Hi, you every little devils come up and shake hands with Stote. Stote, my dear boy, we think you will make quite a warm member.” Olan says “If all the women were transported the men would either commit suicide or starve to death.” FOUND—Miss Blackwell and later Mr. Burns.

Guenelle, “Yes as long as you are with me, you remind me of Raymond.” Virgil flushed and said, “Well. T didn’t ask you to be personal.” Shuman has a new way of spelling timothy.
