We’ll not forget in later years, In this big game of life, About the friends we held so dear, Thus early in the strife. And may the records we have made In the short years we were here, Give us freely of their aid To conquer trials severe. But though we may be gone afar, Our hearts will be with thee; And still we’ll watch the guiding star You set for us to see. We’ll hold thee in our memory A treasure none can buy; Fear not that we’ll forget thee, Our dear old Auburn High. .................................................................................................................. fl 7 T verity Jy IlYi . y J | i iliumminiHuiHiniiiminnnninuininHiuninnmnniiimmmniinnnnmuuut Our History On the third of September, 1923, eighty-three Freshmen began their career in the A. T. H. S. We were the largest class yet enrolled in the school, larger in numbers, ambition and accomplishment. At once we or- ganized, electing Mr. H. C. Torreyson and Miss Albinson as class advisors, and Lowry Clark, President. We chose yellow and white for our class colors, and the motto, “Up and Coming,” which was much relied on throughout the year. As Sophomores we started the year right by electing Jacquelin William- son as President. This year we were confident of success,—success in finan- cial, athletic and school affairs. At the end of the year we had gained even the highest of our ambitions, but not without hard work and class spirit. Our Junior year proved many things; the capability of our class advisor, Mr. Torreyson, the capability of the members, in athletic events, in studies, in the success of the play “Adam and Eve,” in good taste which was shown at the Junior Senior Banquet, and in our wonderful organization and co- operation. Also we started something new, we organized a class cabinet con- sisting of six members. They were to carry on the business affairs of the class. At last we are Seniors, we have the respect of the freshies, and the good will of the teachers, but, on the other hand, we are nearly through with all the cares and joys of High School. We have struggled very hard to keep our record clean, to work for the school in every way possible, and to uphold the standard of honesty and loyalty throughout our career. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Torreyson we have won through the final year, flushed with success. F. W. H. Twenty-One ORACLI Prophecy It was during our Senior year that my friend Helen and I were attending a street fair together. Helen had been to so many that I think that she was being bored, but I like adventure of almost any description, and I was plainly enjoying myself. We were passing the numerous stands and tents, until one in particular attracted my attention. I said, “Oh. look at that peculiar man! Let’s rush over and see what he is advertising. Helen complied, and I found, to my secret enjoyment, that he was a hypnotizer. I said. “Let’s go in and be hypnotized.” She was very reluctant, but finally consented to do so. We paid as we entered, and the man stepped in and closed the flap behind him. He had such queer eyes and he looked so oddly at me that it made me shiver. He sat me down in a chair that had deep cushions, and he made me meet his eyes. He asked me what sort of a vision I wanted to sec. I said I would like to see the members of the Senior Class of ’27 of the Auburn High School, ten years hence. He then rubbed my eyes and chanted in a soft musical undertone. I felt myself gently leaving the beautiful light of the sunshiny day and falling into a depths that were yet unknown. The next thing I knew I seemed to be drifting along near some large seaport. I could see the steamers coming and leaving. As I was wondering which of my classmates I should meet first, I saw a tall, well-dressed man carrying two huge suitcases. I was wondering just what occupation this man could be engaged in, or if he had one, when he turned around. To my complete surprise and wonder, I saw that it was Joe Kostulski. He immediately recognized me, as I had not changed very much. I found out that Joe was not married and that he had taken up missionary work. He was about to depart for China on the steamer, which was then leaving San Francisco. He said he had not found his ideal, but hadn’t given up hope. The gangplank was just about to be drawn up. so Joe had to run. He waved good-bye and I wished him good luck. The next thing I recollect. I was walking along a street, and rather warm. There were people going along dressed in light clothes. I saw quite a few faces that I knew that I had seen before, and yet could not place them. And then it came to me that they were movie stars and that I had seen them in the movies. There were Norma Talinadge, Gloria Swanson, Charlie Chaplin. Will Rodgers, Thomas Meighan, Pola Negri, and who else? Why, there was Jackie Coogan. It seemed they were all out on parade. I knew then that I was in Hollywood. Next in line were—who do you suppose? Helen Dodds and Sid Johnson, arm in arm. They were both looking good, and when they saw me they came over and began to talk. I learned that Helen was playing the leading role in “The Flirt and had another picture in the making. She was on the road to stardom. And Sid said that after Rudolph Valentino died, all the girls mourned for him so, he made his vows then and there that he would take Valentino’s place, and was making good his threat. He was starred in “The Arab,” that all the girls were going wild over. Helen and Sid wanted to take me to lunch, but I declined, saying that I had other people I wanted to see. I found myself next in Yuma, Arizona. A booted and spurred man rode up to me and asked me if I would like to visit a club with him that afternoon. As it was not the custom to be introduced in that country, and as I liked the looks of the young man. I accepted the invitation, and he helped me up beside his horse. We rode up in front of a long, low building which had the “4H Club” printed in huge letters on the outside. We entered, and there at a large desk was Roy Burnett. I knew that he had always been interested in calf clubs and was glad to see that he had become sponsor and advisor for a 2D 32 7 T t’nly-T qvo =ORACLE 11 ii ■•••in i ■ ii ii ii mi i ii mi i mm i ii 111 ni 11 ii ii 11 imi mi inn tu i ■ m ii 11 m i • mihi mi hum n 11111II11III Ml I M Ml I MIMI IIIIIIIMIIMMIIII111111 III MIIII Mil IIMIMI III I Mill 1111 Ml 111111111111II one here in Arizona. I stayed for what was held in the afternoon, and, seeing Roy was busy, I slipped out. I skipped over a number of states that I knew none of my classmates were in; I did not stop there. I came to Missouri, and stopped to get my hair dressed. I ran into Mary Hart, now as a beauty parlor specialist. She did my hair up in fine shape, and I con- gratulated her upon her efficiency. Mary then told me that if I would go over to the St. Vincent’s Hospital I should find another of my classmates. I hurried over, wondering who it could be. Mary had told me to ask to see their most efficient nurse, now attending a most serious case—a young man whose heart was almost broken. His name was Charles something or other, and, after waiting awhile, who should appear but Eunice Greenwood. She had become a nurse and it had almost broken Charles’ heart, so now she had to take care of him. We talked over old times, but as Charles kept ringing for Eunice she had to go, and after bidding good-bye, I resumed my journey. I crossed the Mississippi River, over into Illinois. The scenes immediately became more familiar, and at last I landed in dear old Auburn. I wanted to visit the High School, as I spent the best years of my life there. Who should I meet upon entering but Seth Barnes, who was a professor in chemistry. He said that Virginia had deserted him before they had time to get married, so he went in for chemistry. He said that if I should go across the street to that big gray house I should see Jackie. She had married a grade school professor. Upon leaving her house, I saw K. O. Brown coming down the road. He had a pack of little dogs that were on leashes. When he saw me he slowed up and we began talking. I asked about the dogs, and he said that he was training them to be hurdle jumpers. He immediately gave me a demonstration, and it was about the cutest sight that I had ever seen. He wanted to know if I would accompany him to a big dance out north of town that evening. I had another surprise awaiting me. The dance pavilion was owned by a young lady who lived nearby. We were sitting at a table in a little tea room, when all at once there was a hush, and I heard someone whisper that there was the owner. I turned around, and there was Geneva Studehaker coming toward us. She said that she had bought out the Irwins and had established a good amusement park and dance pavilion on the grounds. She insisted upon me staying all night, but I could not. and bade them good-bye and went on to the Capitol City of Illinois. I decided, as I was going to stay there a little while, that I should go first and see the Y. W. C. A. There were three young ladies in charge of this one. I found, to my surprise, that these three were none other than my classmates, Mary Lorton, Dorothea Hamm and Louise Shecrin. They helped me out on my quest of searching my classmates by telling me that my old friend, Billy Sabine, had his headquarters in Springfield. I was anxious to find out what he was doing. I saw him that afternoon, as I was in the business district. He came up to me and shook hands and immediately started our old argument by saying that my hair was redder. We started arguing, and he said that he w’ould leave it up to someone else whether it was or not, and he immediately took me over to Bressmer’s department store. We found there still another one of our classmates. It was Juanita Harris. I found out that she was head saleslady. Twice a year she goes to Paris to bring back the new designs for dresses. Billy said that there were two more of my old classmates in Spring- field that I had not seen. He said that one was working for the other and that they made a very good combination. Juanita got the afternoon off. so we all three went to look up the persons Billy was speaking of. We came to the Reich Building on the wrest side of the Square and took an elevator up to the fourth floor and entered an office. A stenog- rapher asked us our business, and Billy asked if the lawyer was busy. She said he was a 7 Twenty-Three iiMiiiiiniiiiiiiinimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ......................................................................................... ORACLE I ................................................................................................. 1 | .................................................................... in conference with his private secretary, as usual. We sent in our cards and were imme- diately ushered into the private office. There sat Katherine Lanham and Frank Hocking. They greeted us warmly. I soon found out that Frank had become one of Illinois’ most prominent lawyers and Katherine was his private secretary. He said that if it had not been for Kate, he would never have reached his height of law. Of course, he said there was nothing else between them, at present, except the desk. The eight of us who were in Springfield held a party that night and all of us enjoyed ourselves immensely. We planned a reunion party to be held in the near future. I had to part with them, as I still had others that I had not seen. It was a sad parting. I next came to Peoria, and stopped at a huge factory. I could not imagine what they made there, so I went in to see. The first man I ran into was none other than Hawley Woolsey. He said he was glad to see me and that he would show me around. I learned that it was the Caterpillar Tractor Manufacturing Co. Hawley said he was inspector of the tractors after they were turned out. I told him about all of our classmates that I had seen lately and what they were doing. He was eager to know about them, and after I left for Chicago. I decided the first thing that I must purchase after I landed in Chicago would be a tooth brush. I had been spending a night or so without my tooth brush. I stopped on State Street and entered one of the glittering drug stores located there. What, to my astonishment, should I see written in large letters inside but “John Hederick, Prop. I knew then why I should come to Chicago for a tooth brush. It was the means of leading me to another classmate. I looked up John and found that he was unmarried. I asked him the reason, and he said that the “only one” had married a grade school professor. So he had gone into the druggist work. He said that he would take time to go over to the Northwestern University with me, as he knew that I would want to see Zeke, the school’s most popular sheik. Of course I was tickled P. G. Zeke liked athletics so well that he decided to coach. We found him conversing with a group of the girls. He was telling them what’s what. We had him to ourselves for about an hour, but the girls interrupted and took him away. I bade him good-bye, after telling him of the reunion party, and was on my way. The next journey was short, as it was only a matter of 275 miles. I took this journey differently from those I had been taking. I went on the Big Four Railroad this time—the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis road. I overheard a conversation between two men who were on the same train. They were talking about the president of the road, saying that he had made the High School famous that he had graduated from. He put the town on the map. I got curious as to what town it was. When I heard them mention Auburn, I sat up and took notice. Luck had favored me thus far, and I had to follow my woman’s intuition in following up this clew. 1 knew that it must be another of my classmates. I arrived in Cleveland and immediately looked up the president of the Big Four Railroad. He was in conference with his private secretary, but the office girl took my card and I was ushered in. There sat Samuel Dodds as big as you please, dictat- ing to Elsie Hoard. My good fortune was doubled as before. We exchanged greetings, and after exchanging news I counted up the classmates that I had not yet seen. There were exactly six more. We were wondering where those six would be. After con- gratulating Sam on his success and wishing Elsie more good luck. I proceeded on my way. I came to Pittsburg and decided to get my picture taken and send one to each of my classmates. I inquired for the best photographer and was directed to one. As I entered the spacious room, with photographs hanging all around, a lady stepped up and asked if iiimmmi.......................... limit.............mi....iimimimm ;( :{) 7 Twenty-Four mmimiHiimmiiiiiiiiiH ORACLE 111111111 ■ 11111111M111111 • 11111111111111 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiimiiiiiiiiiimi she could do anything for me. I said I would like to get my picture taken. She told me to he seated, saying that the photographer was busy, but would he through presently. Who, to my surprise, should apear soon hut Eldon Johnston. He said he was pleased to see me and told me how he came to he a photographer. He said that although our Senior pictures had been good, he decided that he could do better work himself. He was doing wonderful work and all the people came from miles around to he photographed. I had mine taken, and I must say that it flattered me very much. After this was over, I decided that, as I was so near Washington, and as I had never been there, that I would visit that city. I was interested in the Secret Service that I had read so much about. I knew that the headquarters were at Washington, so I meant to look them up to see if I could learn anything by it. I arrived there early one morning. The city was in a state of excitement. There had been a big robbery at the White House that night. All the secret service men were following clues. I met a relative of mine and we went to lunch together. While there, who should walk in but Jim Comerford. He lunched with us and we learned that he was a secret service man. He told us not to tell, but he had an idea that he had the most important clue of all to that robbery. If lie turned it out all right, he was made. He left us in a state of excitement which could not be controlled. I decided to go to New York and see if I could account for the other four of my classmates. I reached there about mid-day. I took a hotel and rested till about six that evening. I decided to see a revue that evening. I called a taxi and reached there just before it began. I had picked out one that I thought I would like. What to my wondering eyes should appear but Jimmie Clark, the director of the revue. After it was over we had supper together and Jimmie told me that he had heard Eulah Greenwood was leaving for Europe the next day as a companion to a rich old lady. I went to see her off the next day and she was looking fine. She said that she used to have so much fun taking care of her grand- mother that she thought she would like this old lady fine. After seeing her off. I went in search of the other two classmates. I knew they were Janet Gheen and Wilbur Lewis. Hut where should I find them? Suddenly before my eyes there appeared a vision of a studio. A master artist was before the canvas. I realized then that that was the only place for Wib to be. I remembered how he had done such wonderful work for us the year we put out our Oracle. He was so busily engrossed in his work that I thought if I disturbed him that it might ruin the work, so I left, leaving him as he was. I knew that he would forgive me for doing this. After leaving this big studio, I decided to buy a New York Times. I might accidentally find something about Janet in it. What should strike my eyes first but the big robbery that Jim Comerford had been so interested in. It was so well written, so well reported that I looked to see who wrote it. As luck would have it, Janet’s name had been signed to it. I hurried to look her up and tell her all the news. Jim had followed his clue and he was “made,” as he said. I found Janet and she wanted to hear my whole story so that she could have it printed in the New York Times. I told her all of it, and then she wanted to know what I myself was doing and what my occupa- tion was. I could hardly grasp the situation, as I was vaguely talking to Janet and yet it seemed to someone else, too. It seemed that I was being pulled in two different direc- tions. The one with the more force would win. And win it did. For I was suddenly blinded by the sunlight that streamed in through the tent flap, and then I knew I had awakened before I could find out what my occupation was so that I might tell it to Janet.

And what those lives are to be depends in a large measure upon the founda- tions we have been building for them in our High School years. And not only in our High School years but back in the grades. A number of us can remember our commencement four years ago when we stepped from the Auburn Grade School into the High School. We admit we rather reluctantly left the Grades and with some degree of hesitation entered upon our new duties in the High School. During the past four years of our High School life we have explored and enjoyed every part of this fine building and splendid equipment, and been as- sociated with and instructed and helped by a faculty second to none. All of this, in a way, has just been loaned to us for, after we have entered life we will expect in one way or another to be called upon to provide as good if not greater opportunities for others. Tonight, we wish to thank everyone who has helped to make our High School education possible.We realize our great debt, for without the aid of others we could have done nothing toward our education. This week of Commencement activities will probably be the last meeting of the Class of 1927, in a body. After this they will scatter and no doubt some of us may never meet again. Some of this class will go on to a higher education to fit themselves the better for their life’s work. Others may launch at once into their life’s work. This parting is the only sad part of this week of activities. We are proud of ourselves to have completed the course of this school but our joy is some- what dimmed by the breaking of the ties of fellowship formed during these few years. So now. Friends, Members of the Faculty, and Classmates, in behalf of the Class of Nineteen Twenty-seven, I bid you good-night. John Hederick. ....... 1 ID ■y ......................................... Twenty-Seven ORACLE iiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiii iMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiimmii Salutatory Dear Parents, Teachers, and Friends: My classmates have conferred upon me the great honor of speaking the words that shall bid you welcome here today. I am very grateful to them for this mark of their favor, but still, as I look around upon your faces, so much more clearly marked with the lines of wisdom and wider experience than ours may be for many years yet to come, I cannot but feel that the words of welcome should come from you. To be sure, you have demonstrated your interest in us by coming to listen indulgently to all that we may have to say during this one little hour of our lives, yet it is we who are passing out into your midst, we who are joining you in the larger school of progress outside these doors, we who are entering into your pursuits and pleasures, and becoming one with you in the social and busi- ness centers that make up active life. So much of our success there will depend, too, upon the way in which you receive us, and the spirit in which you respond to our enthusiasm. Is it not we, then, who should ask for the glad hand of welcome? Is it not we who are the outsiders, seeking for admission to your associa- tion and favor? Is it not we who, though we have now the pleasure and privilege of entertaining you for an hour at this turn of the road, must yet step forth and demand our share in all that has been yours for so long? Then, while we do truly thank you most humbly for coming, and trust you may have every cause to long remember with a thrill of pleasure the associations of this hour, we yet feel that we must also ask your forbearance and kindly sympathy, and crave from each of you as we step forth into your midst, the warm handshake and cordial smile that will assure us of your joy at your bidding us welcome.

We called a class meeting, and out of the general confusion elected for our President, Bernie Murphy. For our class colors we chose green and white, and our flower, the sweet pea. Our first social event was a weiner roast, held at Dodd’s timber. Then on Valentines’ day, we gave a party, which is still remembered by most of us. Our Sophomore year was very successful. For class advisor we had Coach Hermann, and for president, Mary Elizabeth I ields. Our class party was held March 26. and was really better than the Valentine party given in our Freshman year. And this year has been indeed a grand success. For our advisor we have Miss Norem, and I ask you confidentially, “Ain’t She Sweet?” Our class president is George Harms. The class play, “Thank You,” was praised by everyone fortunate enough to see it. And ask the Seniors about the ban- quet ! It was said in last year’s class poem that when we became Seniors, we would show the other students what a real Senior class is like! And I’ll say we will! Mary Elizabeth Fields. THE JUNIORS Who is the snappiest class in all the school? The Juniors, so they say. They have a class that’s bound to work, And never stop to play. Each morning we come to do our bit; We were never known to shirk. When we enter the door we set the pace. And go right to our work. We’ve good looking girls and sheiks galore; We’re athletes every one. The Seniors stand and watch us now, When they used to call us dumb. But when at last we leave the halls Of this old school so rare. And you pass through the hall of fame, You'll find our pictures there.

The sun smiled brightly that day, as never before had such a group of brilliant students entered the gates of this renowned school. The first day was spent in being assigned to our classes and meeting new teachers, some whom we stood before in awe and Tear. “Freshies” we were, but I am sure we felt as dignified as any college student receiving his diploma or degree. We were late and badly confused the first few days. Our dignity was somewhat lowered when the upper classes called us “Green Freshies” and sang songs about us. We met with Miss Adams and elected our class officers and voted for a weiner roast, which proved a delightful occasion. We later had a class party where we became better acquainted. We soon found ourselves to be “Energetic Sophs.” Again we met with our faithful advisor. Miss Adams, and elected William Woolary for our president. Robert Carr for vice-president, Paul Christopher for our secretary and Vivian White for our treasurer. We found our class to consist of thirty good willing workers. We have had such an illustrious beginning that we are sure we will leave our monuments in the “Halls of Fame” in the Auburn High School. CLASS OK '29 We came to school as Freshmen, Feeling fresh and fine, To study and to graduate In the year of '29. We have a time for work and play. And school begins at nine, For us to help in every way The class of '29. We compete in basketball and track. And in football we’re on the line, So the Auburn High School won’t forget The class of ’29. We prepare for all the good and bad, But still have good old times. And keep the school in merriment— I mean the ’29s. We have the honors like the rest, And from now on we will shine; For we're here to do the school some good Till the year of ’29. —Boh Carr.

In a joint concert with the orchestra on April 1, they fooled the skeptical public by showing them that our band could render even difficult music well. They furnished the music for the National Boys’ Week program on May 5. The band has about thirty-five members and we can look forward to an even better organization for next year. tllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMI 111111111111111 ni 11 ii it • 11111 n i ii i ii 1111 mi t mi t nil i ii 11 n 1) Jr .......

On April 1st they gave a joint concert with the band, and during commencement week they functioned frequently.

This was his first year with Auburn, and, although our football season was not very successful, we were unlucky and had one of the hardest schedules the High School has had for many seasons. EMIL “ZEKE” LEONARD: Zeke was captain and quarterback of the team. He was triple threat man, being a good punter, passer and able to run with the ball. This is his last year, on the A. H. S. squad and he did his part to uphold the team. 0 Springfield............................ 16 24 Divernon ............................. 0 45 Pawnee ................................. 0 6 I. S.

He was able to gain consistently around the ends and when he was quarantined for scarlet fever before the Carlinville game he left a gap in the line-up that was hard to fill success- fully by anyone else. SILVIO SMARGAISSI: This was “Greaser’s’ first year on the team. He played fullback and did his share in going through the line and running interference. RAYMOND “ZACK” WILLIAMS: “Zack” played left half and played his part well. Being fast on his feet and with good interference, he was able to make long and con- sistent gains around the ends. CHARLES “NIP” POSKA: This was “Nip’s” first year as a regular on the football team. He played right end and right tackle, and played his position well. “Nip” could catch a pass or drop kick or punt as well as any of them. At first of the season “Nip” played tackle. GLEN “COB” RIGGS: 'Twas Riggs’ first year with us. His place was left end. He has hope for a good football career in the next three years.

He played left guard. He is a Senior. WILLIAM HARRIS: “Bill’s first year as a regular. He played center, and did a good job of it. JAKE “SPIZ VOLC: This is “Spiz’s first year on the team. He played right guard, and next year he expects to be able to push the opposing team line around at will. JOSEPH “JOE KOSTOLSKI: This was “Joe’s first year at football. Joe played left tackle, and he always played a good game. PAUL COCKERELL: Paul played right end until he hurt his knee and was unable to finish the season. After his knee was hurt, “Kip took right end. WILLIAM “BILL WOOLSEY: Second year out for football, and played guard whenever he got to play. Next year he hopes to make a regular on first team. RUDY PRESKER: Rudy’s first year at football. After the regular right half. Brown, got the scarlet fever, Rudy took his place. Before the last game, Waverly, he was unfortunate enough to break his leg in practice. GEORGIE BARTOLOZZI: His first year at football. Got to play in one or two games. He was sub. Right half. “RED PSAUTE: “Red’s second year. Got to play in Pawnee and Divernon and Yirden games. Played at end, quarter and half. FOOTBALL REVIEW This year nearly every member of the team was out at some time or other with sick- ness or injury. Nearly all the teams played this year were from larger schools than this one. The team only won two games and tied one out of the eight played, but they had a total of seventy-five points, to their opponents’ sixty-six points. In spite of these facts, the season was acclaimed to be successful by all the fans. Illi� L 7 iiiiiMiimi............hiimi............................. mill....

Known as Zack. His first year on the basketball team. At times it looked as it he was a valuable man on the team. AMERIGO SMARGAISSI: Right forward. “Meggy” played only the second semester in basketball. His appearance on the team seemed to add pep to the entire out- fit. This was his first year as forward and he always did his part on the floor and in the scoring. KENNETH BROWN: Left forward. This was Brown’s last year on the basketball team, and, like the other former ones, it has been a brilliant one in baskebtall, as well as all the other sports. He will leave a place in basketball when he leaves that will be hard to fill. EMIL LEONARD: Center. Better known as “Zeke.” This completes “Zeke’s” basketball career for the A. T. H. S.. and, as before, it has been an exceptionally brilliant one. He always played a good game and made his share of points. WALTER JOHNSON: This was “Sid’s” first year on the team as guard. He played a good game and occasionally dribbled up the floor to sink a long shot. “Sid” is a Senior and will be missed as a guard on next year’s team. iiiiiiininimimiiij 2) 7 iiiiiiiiiimiiiHiNmiMHiniiiiiiiiiiiiiMiimiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiNiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMniiHiiiin Fifty-Seven uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiinimiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiniiiiiiiiiiim 'v I ) A 7 4 , f ' I .

This was “Nip’s first year as guard on the A. T. H. S. team. Some people called “Nip a natural born basketball player. That was because he always played a fine game, and when a man on the opposing team came down the floor it took Nip” to stop him. VICTOR “RED” PSAUTE: Forward. “Red was sub forward, but whenever put into a game, he always played his best and will be a valuable man on next year’s team. JAKE “SPIZ” VOLC: Center. Spiz’s” first appearance on the team. When he gets a little more experience and grows a little taller he will be a valuable center. He expects to do this by next year. SILVIO “GREASER” SMARGRAISSI: Guard. Although not as good as his brother, but by the time he has more experience he will be on the first team. Then watch the opponents stop scoring. GLEN “NANNERS” RIGGS: Guard. This was “Nanners first year out for basket- ball. He never got to play very much, but next year he will be an improvement to the team. Basketball Review The season opened with the team somewhat handicapped by the scarlet fever. How- ever, they emerged from the Ashland tournament in second place, having been beaten by the strong Williamsville team after going through the hardest schedule of the tournament. They-again took second place in the county tournament, WiLliamsville defeating them on our home floor. In the district tournament at Springfield, the team finally bowed to Carlinville for another second trophy. The season on a whole was very successful. In their last game they defeated Pawnee to gain the State Journal trophy. This was offered to the school with the best percentage of points.

The season opened with a fine hunch of candidates, among which were four veterans—Brown. Hart, Hall and Haynes— together with such promising men as Leonard and Woolsey. The first meet of the season was the first annual meet of the newly organized M. S. M. A. A. league at Virden. Auburn won the meet, as well as the relay. The next meet was the county meet held at New Berlin. Auburn came through with flying colors, win- ning the meet by a high margin and taking home the relay cup for the third consecutive time. Other meets attended were at Jacksonville, Milliken, Urbana, Iowa City, Iowa, and Chicago, in all of which meets the school managed to win a few points, not winning any place under third. Hall, this being his last year with us, did some fine work in the pole vault, winning at Virden and New Berlin and placing Jacksonville and Milliken. He set a new record for the pole vault at New Berlin of 11 feet 3 inches. Hall holds the M. S. M. record at Virden at 10 feet 6 inches. Hart, also a Senior, did some good work and will be missed in the 50-vard dash and high jump, as well as the relay. Hart tied the high jump record of 5 feet 7 inches at New Berlin and hold the high jump record for the M. S. M. at 5 feet 4 inches and running broad jump at 18 feet 10 inches. Haynes graduated, too. He showed his stuff for us in the weights at Virden and New Berlin. He holds shot put record in the M. S. M. at 38 feet 4 inches. Leonard was valuable also, showing his skill in such meets at Virden, New Berlin and Jacksonville. Next year he hopes to heave the javelin and the weights for Auburn. Woolsey didn’t think he had a chance to place in the half-mile event at the county meet, but he surprised himself, as well as Coach Torreyson, when he won second place in the said event. Gormley came out for track for the first time in his four years of high school. He showed the team how valuable he was in composing the relay team. The relay team consisted of Hall, Gormley, Hart and Brown. 1 Sixty 1 ?J ”7 lillimitHIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIimilllllinillimiMIIIIIIIIIMHIIINIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIHIIU II III Hill IIIIIIIIIIIIMII Illi 11111111111111111111II III I III II ORACLE mHmimiimmmiiiiimmmmiimmiHiMmmmMiimmimmiimmmmimimi ■i 11 in 111111 n i m m tin i in 111 ii 1111 ii i n mi ni i mu i mu i it 11 u 11 in i mi Mimi 1111111 ii i mill 11 Track Review 1927 With H. C. Torreyson as coach, a good squad reported for track, which narrowed down to K. Brown. E. Leonard, H. Woolsey, G. Riggs, H. Neumann, W. Johnson, E. John- son, K. Nickolls, R. Presker, G. Taylor, V. Psaute, E. Pricco. A prospect of a fair track team. Our first meet was the Milliken relays. Only a few went, our 880 relay team and a Freshman relay team. Brown entered in the low hurdles, which he won for the third consecutive time, setting a new record of 26.4 seconds. Our next meet was April 29, the annual county meet held at Pawnee. Auburn won track and field events, while Illiopolis won the literary and oratorical part. Fair time was made, even on such a muddy track.

The organization was admitted to the Illinois League of Girls’ Athletic Associations in Novem- ber, 1926. The work of the girls has been affiliated with that of the boys’ association throughout the year. Hikes and picnics have been held at regular intervals. An inter- class basketball tournament was held under the auspices of the G. A. A., in which the Senior class won first honors. Points have been earned in physical education according to the point system worked out by the state league. The outstanding social function of the year was a bunco party held in the school auditorium in April. Inter-Class Basketball Tournament An inter-class basketball tournament under the direction of the Girls’ Athletic Asso- ciation was entered into with much enthusiasm by the teams and members of the different classes. All four classes entered a team and preliminaries were played each week until each class had contested with every other. The finals were played on March 14, 1927, between the Seniors and the Freshmen, the final laurels going to the Seniors by a score of 12-6. A trophy in the form of a banner in the G. A. A. colors was awarded the class of 1927. In the final game an all-star team was picked, as follows: Mary Gcddes................................ Mary Lorton................................
