I Dorothy Davis 'Qs Fa. p US mint Qllmss 71 isinrg In the fall of 1934, our all-star class of 117 started out on a long journey, that lead us over many rocky and treacherous places and around manylcurves, but would eventually lead us to Success. With our Motto, One For All and All For One, we began on September 1, all pulling together to show tl1e Seniors, who had already traveled over three laps of their journey that Freshies could do great things al- so. We elected Jack Hagerty as President, George Wessel, Vice President, Homer Welch, Secretary and Jim Doyle, Treasurer. Irene Patterson and Frank Wichser were selected to represent us on the Social Committee. We showed our great talents by giving tl1e St. Patrick's program under the able direction of our sponsor, Miss Swordes. As a whole, the Freshman class showed themselves able to go great things by taking part in extra-curricular activities. In '35 we came back, feeling very experienced and wise, and teasing the poor Freshmen, never letting them know, of course, that even we could remember how scared we were a year before. We started the second portion of our journey out right by electing Dorothy Daugherty as President, Dorothy Hubbell, Vice President, Pauline McGovern, Secretary, and Dorothy Davis, Treasurer. Our representatives on the Social Committee were Doris McAllister and Jim Davis. Under the direction of Miss Swordes, we again presented the St. Patrick's program and were quite suc- cessful in entertaining the upper classmen. As the- year were on, members of the class entered the G. A. A., F. F. A., orchestra, band and glee club. Others showed talent in the commercial field. By the end of the second lap of our journey, we had climb- ed many hills and advanced halfway on the slippery road that we had undertaken to travel, George Schaeffer, Eldred Beemer, Jack Hagerty, Bob Hierman had come forth into the public light by being in the Agriculture play, Growing Pains, right along with the mighty Seniors and Juniors. Another member of our class, Dorothy Day, merits no little amount of praise and glory for having distinguished herself in band. She won first place in tl1e State Contest and was recommended to the National where she went and there placed tlrird, thereby making us quite proud to have one of our classmates gain so much publicity. After having accomplished such marvel- ous things, we adjourned for a three months rest, which was enjoyed by everyone. In '36 we came back together once more to begin our third trip, which was to bring us nearer home. Since Dorothy Daugherty had guided us so remarkably well on our second trip, we showed our superior judgment by electing her again. Vice Presi- de11t Homer Welch, Secretary Irene Patterson and Treasurer Eldred Beemer pulled together in making our Junior year more successful than the first two. Jean Todd and Frank W ichser took their places on the- Social Committee and with their help the Committee gave several novelty parties, among them the Get-Acquainted Party, and also one on Friday the 13th. Under the direction of Miss Brodman, our class presented the Junior Play, Cut Of The Fog, which was indeed, something for our class to be proud of. The following members took part: Doris McAllister, El- dred Beemer, Dorothy Hubbell, Dorothy Daugherty, Jack Hagerty, Harold Fast, Homer Welch, Mary Clarice Minks, Dorothy Day, John O'Neal, Jack Foster, Bill Murray, and Jane Chambers. Five of our girls showed their ambitions by taking part in the Commercial Contest. Dorothy Davis, Dorothy Hubbell, Ruth Anderson, Irene Patterson and Marjorie Bolton were the 70 word shorthand contestants. Ed- win Brannan, George Schaeffer and Floyd Carls went in for F. F. A. contests. Many T of the boys helped the good work along by going out for football and basketball. The crowning point of the year was the J unior-Senior Reception, which transported us to Holland. Our class, together with our sponsor, Miss Cross, assisted by Miss Greve, worked hard for many long weeks striving to produce a startling effect on the Seniors whom we were entertaining, and when the big night finally arrived, we were amply rewarded by the compliments and the ohs and ails as the Seniors en- tered into the gymnasium which had been transformed from a huge bare room into a beautiful Dutch Land. In '37 on a beautiful autumn day, 112 of us came back, ready for the last lap of our journey. NVQ' realized that we must finish preparing ourselves for the Future which we knew we must face before many more months. VVe were more firmly resol- ved than ever to stick by our Motto, One For All and All For Onef' so we elected an executive committee consisting of Jack Hagerty as President, Eldred Beemer, Vice President, Dorothy Davis, Secretary andlrene Patterson, Treasurer. George Wes- sel and Mary Clariee Minks were appointed to the Social Committee' Miss Cross again acted as our sponsor. Many Seniors entered whole-heartedly into extra curricu- lar activities as they realized that this was the last year they would spend in the dear old B. H. S. The high point of the year was the Senior Play, entitled Gun Shy. It was splendidly presented by th'e following cast: Jim Doyle, Lois Treadway, Geraldine Moore, Robert Stanley, Donald Kirby, Homer Welch, Clarence Reither, Lee' Turley, Mary Clarice Minks, and Frank Wichser. Many members of the class also took part in the Play Tournament sponsored by Miss Brock. We are quite proud of three of our classmates who were rated as having done superior 4 acting. They were Velma Vatthauer, Lee Turley and Dorothy Gordon. The play, Cab- bages was selected to enter the District Play Contest. Members of that play are as follows: Lee Turley, Velma Vatthauer, Margaret Smashey, Dorothy Hubbell, Robert Stanley, Lois Treadway and Homer Welch. The boys of our class have made us quite proud this year, too, by their splendid performance in football and basketball. John Musgrove, Jack Foster, Bill Murray, Art Jones, John Buefseher, Homer Welch, Clarence DeCamp, J ack Hagerty, Harold Fast, John Duncan, Bob Hierman, Eldred Beemer helped to accomplish great things for us in that field. They won the Spoon River Championship in football and the basketball team won the Regional Tournament. Others in the Senior Class have taken part in band and glee club. The last days of our journey will be busy ones for they will include the Junior- Senior Reception, Senior Picnic, Class Day, Baccalaureate, Commencement, and the Alumni Banquet. Our journey is now at a close. We have traveled together ovefr many hard places but, pulling together, we have mounted every steep hill that rose in front of us and rounded eve-ry curve successfully. VVe will soon part from our be- loved school, never to assemble together again when the whistle blows in the fall, but never will we forget those- four delightful years, for now that they are over, and we know that we shall never have an other chance to re-live them, we realize that our school days are indeed the Hhappiest days of our life.

Together we entered Beardstown High School, four years ago, and together we have worked through this four year period, which for many of us has passed all too quickly. It is 1ny hope that you Will be able, as you leave High School to translate into reality many of the worthy hopes and ideals that have been born in your hearts and minds during your four years here. May you take as your guiding principle that inscription which appears on the great seal of one of our middle Western states, Ad astra per aspera which freely translated means, We will achieve success even though difficulties may beset us. Long after you have forgotten many ofthe details of fact which you have learned here, may you still treasure in your minds that intangible something which these four years have given you. Again, it is my earnest hope that your High School days, often characterized as the happiest days of life may bring for each of you in the days that are ahead. greater happiness, higher attainment, more useful liv- ing and Worthier citizenship.

G. Smith. The girls practiced religiously all winter, and were finally given a chance to prove their worth one evening late in March. The occasion to which we refer was the Spring Festival held on the evening of March 2-L, 1938. At this Festival the coin- bined Crlee Clubs of Beardstown, Virginia, Ashland and Chandlcrville sang several numbers. liast year the contest chorus, which is chosen from the Crlelc Club, entered the District Contest and was finally judged Superior in the state meet. A group oi' girls were chosen again this year to sing in the contest. The girls practiced diligent- ly ill the hope of winning some recognition in the contest in 1938. , The girls in the Glee Club under the competent leadership of Mrs. Smith, have put forth a peri'ormance of which they may Well be proud. Mrs. Smith is to be highly complimented upon the successful operation of so important an organization as thc Glee Club. Their faithfulness in practice, and their cooperation is to be commend- ed. Much of the success ofthe Glee Club was due to Claranne Von Fossen, the ac- companist who attended every practice. This spring the girls had their annual picnic and concert at Hickory Church. They also gave a concert here in town. The Seniors sang at fBacealaureate service and for Senior Day. These activities will wind up the year as far as tlfe Cleo Club is concerned. p Qflugs' lhlrn - Qiluh a Top row: Paul Thomas, Art Jones, Stanley Cox, Martin Vauthauer, Phillip Beghtol, Smith Von- Fossen, Charles Little, George Wessel, Edward Weasel, Milton LaMaster, Bob Lanier, Walter Shep- herd. 2nd row: Glen Kupfer, Bertrum Phelps, Eugene Titus, Durward Fry, Mrs. W.

I pawn This year's band is carrying on the tradition that in Beardstown there is ale ays a top-notch high school band. We point with pride to the fine things which the members of the band have accomplished and the progress which they have made with the aid of Mr. Swift, their director. They aroused the enthusiasm of the 'student body at pep meetings. They also played at all the home football and basketball games, and later at the Regional Tournament. 'Ihis past year, the band gave three concerts. The first was held on November 16, in the high school auditorium, and was greeted by an enthusiastic audience. The second was a Christmas concert held December 22. The auditorium was bedecked with blue and silver Cliristmas decorations. The last concert in the series took place on February 9. Eight members of our band took part in the annual Carthage College Band Fes- tival at Carthage, Illinois, on February 19,1938. They were: Jim Davis, Frank Wichser, Dorothy Day, Mary Knippenberg, Esther Haworth, Don Schnepper, Eu- gene Brasel, Dorothy Hubbell and Mr. Swift. The P.-T. A. was entertained from time to time by special numbers from the band. Last year, the band won first place at the State contest at Champaign. This was the second consecutive year that our band has held this position of honor. On March 24, 1938, Beardstown High was host to the annual County Music Festi- val. Our band and the Virginia band played several numbers together under the direction of Mr. Swift, the local director, and Mr. Auwarter of Virginia. The band entered the District Band contest held on March 25, 1938 at Quincy Illi- nois. In this contest they won first place. On April 2, there was a solo and en- semble contest in connection with the band contest. Several members of the band competed in this. We had entered a brass sextet consisting of George Wessel, Mary Knippenberg, Donald Schnepper, Harold Nunes, Williaiii Kaffenberger and Eugene Brasel. There was also a brass quartet made up of John Beatty, Bill Buescher, Donald Schnepper and Charles Little. The clarinet quartet contained tlie following musicians: Jim Davis, Frank Wichser, Esther Haworth, and Esther Volkmar. John Beatty, Bill Buescher and Althea Cameron made up the Cornet Trio. The members of the Miscellaneous Trio were Dorothy Hubbell, Barbara Hansmeyer and Mary Knippenberg. The soloists in this contest were Eugene Brasel and Charles Little, bass, William Kaffenberger, baritone, Dorothy Day, alto clarinet, and Robert Hen- derson, snare drum, and as tl1e student director. Credit for our band is largely due to the excellent leadership and direction of Mr. Swift. His knowledge of music and of bands has shaped the band into the fine musical unit it is today. Because he has built something for which we are all justly proud, we wish to both thank and congratulate Mr. Swift on his success as band- master here in Beardstown.

Stephen Santry, ttfarl Dunnj an author has brought his family to a farm. in the Missouri Ozarks which was left him by his uncle. The family is horrified at the idea of living on a farm and doing all of their own work, but Stephen remains ob- stinate. To get away, Olive, the eldest daughter tDoris McAllister'j feigns illness. When Lynn Gray, tEildred Beemerj the young country doctor is called in, he dis- covers the sham, but announces that Olive has a heart ailment which can be cured only by healthful living and change of mental attitude. She rebels at this and threatens to hitch hike back to Chicago. However her plans are interrupted when Mary Marshall tCarolyn Kuhhnannj a neighbor girl, breaks out with scarlet fever while playing with Phyllis tVirginia. Nagelj and Billy tEugene Schaefferj the twe younger children. The whole family is quarantined fora month. They are forced to not only amuse themselves, but also to attend to their own wants since the t,w0 servants, Lucinda tVehna Vatthauerj and Suzanne tClaranne VonFossenj were not in the house at the time of the quarantine, During his many calls on the nvalid, Dr. Gray becomes thoroughly acquainted with the entire family, and especially se with Olive who vehemently denies any interest in the young doctor, nevertheless, he has been instrumental in changing her views on life. Dick tDick Murrayj the eldest son, and his young wife Eve tBetty Dailyj have been studying fruit and poultry raising during the quarantine. Both of them are delighted with the possibilities of this business, Eve especially so since ' this new interest promisesto save Dick from Worthlessness. Olive's true feelings about Dr. Gray are revealed whe11 Sid Sperry tGeorge Schaefe Verb the farm hand, brings news that the doctor's car has plunged off the end of a bridge near the Santry farm. He has been badly hurt. In theqend, Dr. Gray and Olive unite forces. Dick and Eve have the farm, provided they make a go of it. Stephen, happy that his family has reverted to the simple life, returns to Chicago with Anne,ihis wife, tKathryn Kuhhnannj, Billy and Phyllis. i The rest of the east included Phyllis Krohe as Angie Sperry. Doris Vtfalker as Mrs. lNlarshall a11d Francis Kirska as Jerry Sperry. The play was eapably directed by Miss Maltas and was enthusiastically received by a large audience. ,jruinr Qllass iillag This year the Seniors gave ftGunshy'l by llomeir Little and Myla Jo Closser. The play was a satire on the father who insists that his son be a 'tehip off the old block. Peter Drake tH011lil1 Welchj a retired explorer and big'-g'a1ne'hunter, lives in Jungleria, his country estate in Connecticut. He and his wife, Zoe tGeral- iline Moorej who has accompanied him on all his expeditions delight in telling' tall stories of their highly exciting adventures in the wilds of Africa. Their only son, Junior tJa1nes Doylej is extremely bored by the tales of his par- entts exploits. His only interest is photography, and his chief ambition is to ex- plore the world of niinute beauty with the camera. His parents are clisgusted and disappointed with their son. A circus comes to town and a lion, Hero, escapes. Bonaparte ttllarence' Reitherj the lion tanier, bursts in on the quiet evening' circle of the Drakes. At the startling bit of news, the old hunting instinct leaps to the fore in Peter, who proceeds to or ganize his guests-a la African days-for the capture. There is Hiram Hall tliob- ert Htanleyj young popular successor to l3eter's mantle with his black boy, Birbal tllonahl Kirbyj, Halls lValker tlVlary Cllarice Minksl a female athlete enamored ot' Junior, but tlioroughly disliked by him, Lenny O,Neill tFranli Wichserj a some- what eaddish youth suing' for Babs, and Fergus tlqee Turleyj, now chauffeur, but tried emergency inan of the hunting days. Junior rebels and flatly refuses to accompany his parents in the hunt. But Fate desires that Junior is to prove himself the hero of the situation, and in the follow-A ing manner: While the others are scrambling around the country hunting the lion' Hero goes calling' at Jungleria. He surprises Junior, who has been entertaining' Anne, a neighbor girl, tliois Treadwayl. Both are panic stricken, but Anne's de- risive taunts arouse in Junior the necessity to regain her admiration. This over- eanie his fear and he dashes after tl1e lion. He effects a capture and exposes to ridi- cule the poses of the big' ganie hunters, ln t'he end Junior and Anne are re-united. The success of this comedy with its thrills and chills was largely due to the skillful direction of Miss Brock. I : Ii. ? I 71116817 Qilnss iles . The stage setting for last year's Junior play, Out Of The Fogjl was a grocery store. For years Sophie Duncan tDorothy Hubbellj had dominated and brow-beaten her husband, her daughter Gladys, tDoris McAllisterJ and her foster sister Annabel Parker tDorothy Dayj. She is devoted, however, to her younger daughter Marcia tMary Ulariee Minksj a child of ten, who has inherited all of her mother's mean grasping traits and added a few of her own. Gladys, seventeen, is in love with Paul Nichols tEldredBeen1erj whose father Bert Nichols tdack Fosterj runs the town's newspaper, but Sophie doesn't approve of him and forbids him to come on the premises. Henry Duncan tJohn O'lYealJ is interested in an aviation invention. He had the misfortune to lose all his money on an experiment immediately after nrarryiiig Sophie and she has held it over his head ever since. Annabel has faith- full y served Grandma Merideth for years, but when Sophie and her family come to stay, she is compelled by Sophie to peddle cosmetics and to pay board. In a desper- ate search for romance and beauty, Annabel answers a newspaper advertisemein for ia. correspondence husband. Roger Payson tHi0II1U1'iVvGlCl1J is the modern Blue- beardn who traffies in gullible females likely to bring him money. In the hope of Annabel inheriting sometliing from old Mrs. Meredith, Mr. Payson encourages her affection. When Grandma does die and Lawler Crason tJack Hagertyl reads the will it discloses th-at the bulk of the money goes to Annabel, and one dollar to the hard-hearted Sophie! ln a rage the latter tries to prove Annabel mentally nn- stable when she hears of the correspondence husband, especially as Mr. Payson has involved himself in a scandal at the time the will is read. Bert Nichols saves the day, however, when he produces a damaging letter, written by the malevolent Mar- eia, which Sophie cannot afford to have printed. After this storm has blown over, Annabel finds her romance when Bert, freed from debt by Grandma's will, de- clares his affection for her and she in turn realizes that it was Bert she had pictured in her correspondence he1'o. With Sophie's spell forever broken, Gladys renews her friendship with Paul and Henry is able to once more work on his beloved in- ventions. The cast is completed by Jane Chambers as Minnie, the worried wife oi' Bill Murray, Dorothy Dauglierty as plain spoken grossipy postniistress, and Harold lfast a elerk in the Dnnean's store. This play was exceptionally good and was cap- almly directed by Miss Brodman. fluuinx-fggzninr pxnnt Ja, Ja, it was a great success, the Dutch Prom, given by the class of '38 last year! .But i'nstead of the clump-ing dance of the wooden shoes, the rustle and swish of silken skirts .was heard. The windmills were there, the tulips were there, and oven the figures of Dutch children were seen playing around amid the flowers. The only thing lacking was the pompous Dutch burgomaster with the jolly wife. In- deed, it was a ve-ritable fairyland-a bit of old Holland transported to our gym. It seems as though Aladdin and his magic lamp had bee11 borrowed for the evening by the juniors to transform that which had been commonplace and unexciting in-- to a beautiful Dutch landscape. Upon entering the gym, one almost expected to see Hans Brinker emerge from the huge windmill at the far end of the gym. This wind- mill was shining white with giant blue vanes and -a quaint thatched roof. It was surrounded by a colorful garden of tulips in full bloom. Gould these bright flowers have been carefully tended by some patient Dutch vrouw? It seemed so, but no, they had been placed there by the ingenious Juniors. Large bushes of snowy spyria were placed at intervals around the gym. Wli-a.t ei lovely background they made for the bright colored dresses of the girls dancing by! A white picket fence in the back of the bushes made the scene seem so real one could almost feel the cool, refreshing breeze from the Zuider-Zee. Soft light was furnished by lights with tulip shades placed at intervals along the sides of the gym. Blue and white streamers overhead transformed the ceiling into a beautiful canopy. Directly opposite the windmill was a typical Dutch window with a blue window box full of lovely tulips. The table was loaded with goodies which could have been prepared only by some good Dutch vrouw in her own spotless kitchen, perhaps in Rotterdam or the Hague. The tables were in the shape of two windmill vanes. They were covered by table cloths with gay tulip borders, and each guest had a matching napkin. Po-ts of tulips were used to further decorate the tables and give them a festive air. Legions of Dutch boys and girls, serving as place cards, directed each guest to his respective place. On the menu appeared such tasty and intriguing Dutch dishes as Vr0uw's Delight, Klompen, Leyden Special, Dutch Apple Pie with Cheese and Poldcrs. When all the food had been consumed by these hearty Dutchmen, Burgomaster tHarold Fastj Schmimelpennick, Manager of the Windmills, introduced Juforouw tDorothy Daughertyj Van Gleek who welcomed all the guests to Holland. The re-- sp-onse to this hospital welcome. Mynheer C Clarence Andersonj Llkatterboot thanked the worthy Dutch and assured them of the success of ' their banquet. This Was followed by brief talks from Attorney R. L. Northcutt, President of the Board of Education, W. L. Gard, Superintendent of Schools, and P. W. McAllister, Principal of tl1e High School. Then c-ame tl1e Dutc-hman's Stomp executed by Hans t'Ge0rge Wesselj Von Holp and Katrinka tMary Cllarice Minksj Poot in the style of the lowlands. After this stimulating bit of entertainment came a Dutch melody sung by Juforouw fDoro- thy Daughertyl Van Gleek. More melody followed as Hans Brinker -and his Brinker .Boys sang A Volley From Volendamf' Homer Welch appeared as Hans Brink-- er and Bill Murray, George Schaeffer, Jack Foster, and Charles Perkins were the Brinker Boys. Grietje tDoris McAllisterl Korbes and Hilda tPauline McGovernl Mon Speyk brought the program to a close by singing Tulip Tunes. Dancing followed the program. Music was furnished by Red Green and his or- chestra. . Nile the class of 1938, are justly proud of our first prom and we wish to thank Miss Cross and Miss Greve who are mainly responsible for its success. .- ' A- --,Q Qi G 1 E ft? ..- 'Jfz W, .4 2' 4 :ive axial Qlummiiiru Bob Phelps.

The Social iltlllllllllltltl is a well established organization in Beardstown High. lt plans and gives the school parties. That the eonnnittee is a success can well be pieven hy the spirit of fun and comradeship which pervades all of the school dances. This year four dances were given. The first was the annual get-acquainted dance to which the Freshies were required to XV02tI'g'1 CPll. They were cordially greeted hy the upperelassmen, and made to feel right at home in high school. The next party was a Thanksgiving' dance. The gym was decorated in the spirit ol' the season. By this time the Freshmen felt as much a part of the fun as did the most dignified Senior. To celehrate St. Valentine's Day, another party was given. A large crowd of students helped to make this dance a success. The last dance of the season given by the Social tloimnittee was an April Fool! Day party. Because of the date, this was an unusually gay affair. Of course all the practical jokers were there. The Social Ctlllllllltltlf' is made up of a hoy and girl elected from each class. The Seniors elected lilary tllarice Minks, and .tleorge 'Wessel, the Jiuniors, Pat Cowen and Jayne Craven. The Sophomore representatives were Jerry Malmken and Clarice Landreth, however the latter moved -away. and Christine Kuhlman filled her place The l+'reshnien on the committee were Harriet Bell and Bob Phelps. Miss Noble is the fzieulty advisor and her leadership and cooperation go a long way toward mak- ing' this organization as successful as it is. The aim ot' the commttee is to provide good, entertaimnent for the high school students. The money taken in at the parties 'goes to defray expenses. 0 tlalenhar Top row: Irma Kays, Helen Dorwart, Jeanette Burke, Norma Castor, Erna DeSo11ar, Kathryn Thurman, Lillian Ewing, Pauline Engle, Allene Rodgers.

'I 'I 'd' 'II 'fWll'd lrldm if l f'f , , y V , , Q, P jziznzz tllluh The Science Club was founded to promote a live interest in scientific invention and discovery among high school studer-.ts and to relate such invention and discov-V cry to the factors of everyday life. Its purpose is to make possible further ex' ploration and experimentation for the student in the field of science. The club has striven to bring its members into closer cont-act with the scientific world. The of- ficers of tl1e club are: President, Frank Wicliserlg Vice President, George Wessel: Secretary-Treasurer, Doris McAllister, Adviser, Mr. McCullough. All high school students who have had at least one year of science are eligible to be members of the club. Those who meet the requirements and are ready to par- ticipate in the activities of the club are welcome to join. , Every month the members of the science club hold their meetings. Various ac- tivities are held at each meeting, and thc-se are suggested, planned and presented by the students. This year a number of interesting and instructive discussions and demonstrations were given. Among these were Energy, Measurement of Heat, Uhemistry of Common Things, Facts about the Planets and Stars, Ultra Violet Light and the Operation and Uses of the Photoelectric cell. Homer Welch presented an interesting demonstration of the new ultraviolet l-amp purchased this year. In a dark room the invisible ultra violet rays were used to make invisible freckles visible, to read otherwise invisible writing, to change the color of dyes, to distinguish mineral from vegetable oils, to make minerals lumin- ous, and to produce other strange effects. The new photoelectric cell, also purchased this year, was demonstrated by Eugene Brasel. An apparatus for the demonstration of the photoelectric cell was construc- ted by the members of the club. In this exhibition light was allowed to fall upon the shielded electric eye of the apparatus and in so doing, caused a motor to run, a bell to ring and a light to be lighted. r On April 19, 20, and 21 of this year the Science Club enjoyed an interesting three day educational trip to Chicago. Among the places of scientific interest which were visited were the Joliet steel mills, Brookfield Zoo, N. B. Ci. studios, Merchandise Mart, Hull House, Museum of Science and Industry, Fields Museum, Shedd Aquar- ium, Alder Planetarium, Ghicago Tribune, Art Institute, Diesel School and the Ohi- cago Airport. , Thanks must be given on behalf of the Science 'Club to Mr. McCullough for his capable work in aiding the members of the club. In his capacity as sponsor of thc- club, he has faithfully performed the duties which fell to him. l Gntmfiaixrmmd . The assembly programs come all too seldom, or so think the B. H. S. students, for there is nothing quite so amusing. 1 I Of course Pep Assemblies were held before the big games. Excitement ran high, and loyalty to the school and team mounted to a high pitch. The band played, the students cheered, and the team vowed to do or die for Beardstown. Two programs of special numbers by the students were given in the course of the year. English speech class gave a play. The Lie That Jack Built, with Es- ther Haworth, Harold Fast, Jack Foster, and Dorothy Hubbell appearing lin the cast. The contest play, Gabbages was also given. Major Bowes, portrayed by our own James Doyle, presented his talented amateurs in an amusing and highly cntentaining program. Donald Slummey,Mary Ularice Minks and Gertrude Keiper each presented their contest readings in a special assembly. The Reverend Mr. Beddoes of the Clongregational church spoke at the Thanks- giving proram. Mr. Musselman gave his annual talk to the students on March 11. Before each of its concerts the Band played for special assembly. These were among tl1e most popular of the student assemblies. The Freshmen gave their assembly on April 1. Talent was selected for the pro- gram from the members of the class. It consisted of dance numbers given by Ev-- elyn Boice and Helen Brady, accompanied by Harriet Bell and by Margaret Harn. Margaret Haworth and Ruth Lasse each played a piano solo. Donna Reichert sang, Dale Hager played a guitar solo, and Steve Treadway gave a reading.

Coach McQueen lost many valuable men by gradu- ation but had four men remaining from the first team: Hagerty, Murray, Jones and Long. He also had many valuable lettermen from his first squad. These men, along with an enthusiastic group of underclassmen, intended to carry on for Beards- town High in the football wars. . With an able mentor, the team began to take shape. The first team that opposed Beardstown was White Hall. White Hall came to town to fight hard for a victory But they soon had the wind taken out of their sails by a stinging defeat. A 32-0 victory for Beardstown. The following week the team traveled to Jacksonville for their second game. It was a miserable day, and it rained throughout the game. Perhaps a little, over-con- fidence turned the trick, for it was our first defeat and a victory for Jacksonville, 13-7. They took possession of the striped jug. Then on October 1, Bushnell came to the 4'Tigers' lair for the third game. The' sting of the Jacksonville game was still in the mind of all tlie players, and they real- ly went out and played football. It was a Victory for the Tigers, this time 27-0. Now, the next week, October 8, the Tigers were expecting the toughest game.. on their schedule. Macomb was the opponent. Beardstown was scored upon for the first three minutes of play. This could not keep the f'Tigers down. From that time on it was completely the Tigers game. They pushed Macomb from one end of the field to the other, but the best they could do was to come home with a 7-7 tie. On October 15, Beardstown went away from home to meet an old rival, Virginia. Coach McQueen used all of his men in this game. They fVirginial were rather small, but were very stubborn, nevertheless it was another victory for B. H. S., 20-0. On October 16, Beardstown inet a new team. Olinton furnished the opposition but could not hold the Tigers This victory was very pleasing. Jones, Beardstown backfield ace, really showed Olinton how to run in tl1e open field. This victory, 32-14. The next game, October 29 was against Havana at Havana. It was cold and was really football weather. B. H. S. came out on top again by the score of 34-O. The Tigers' last home game was against another new opponent for the Tigers The opponent was Lanphier High school of Springfield. The Tigers rornped, roared and clawed the Lanphier Lions to the score of 32-6. On departure of this years' Seniors, it was really a good parting. I Our Tigers last game of the ,37 season was against Fietshans High school, al- so of Springfield. This was on November 11, Armistice Day. But to the Tigers it seemed as though the war just started.Fietshans walked off the field with a 20-0 victory. , ,.....,,. lr-- , ,yi 'ia . 'LF' p R. -31- n .U el rf .ff g' 1- I lit :' it If' A 1 .,.

It was answered by over a hundred, eager, boys who wanted to carry the colors of B. H. S. into the basketball wars. After about the first three or four nights the squad was cut down to about thirty boys. As in all the sports at B. H. S., a captain was chosen. Bill Murray served that position. Now things really beg-an to take shape. Coach McQueen didn 't have much time to make up a team that would be ready for its first game, less than two weeks away from the first call for practice. But everyone was eager to get in good shape and things formed very fast. Our first game was with Mt. Sterling 011 November 31. It was a rough and tum- ble game but The Tigers showed some good basketball and won by a 28-12 margin. On the following Friday the Tigers made avtrip to the den of the Pekin Chinksf' The game was fast and furious and with one Pekin player making 19 points the home towners went down to their first defeat by the score of 25 to 18. Then on the next night, Saturday, December 4, the team went to Bath and piled up the biggest score of the year-53-32. ' On Tuesday, December, 7, we played Chandlerville and ran right past the Roc- kets ' '-40-25. ' Next came the game the Tigers had been waiting for. Taylorville moved into town very elated expecting to take away a victory but left very downcast after watching our boys play superb basketball. Another win 21-9. Our next game was with Lanphier of Springfield. They had a. good team but we won 31-15. This was our first victory in the newly formed Central 'Conference - Un the following Friday we traveled to Jacksonville to play the Cr'imsons. We wanted to get back the Striped J ug, which we had lost to them in football, and did just that by the score of 37-20. ' After the Jacksonville game we began to train for the Pontiac tourney. It was our first invitation to the little State Tournament and every player looked forward to see the morning of December 30 roll around. On Thursday we played the giant team from Dwight and conquered them 28-239 The next night we played Athens and were eliminated by the score 26-13. . The Tigers next foe was a touted Pittsfield team. They played tight bas- ketball and edged out the Tigers 30-27. The next game was with I. S. D. They couldn't get through the Tigers zone defense and went down to defeat by the score of 38-18. The following Saturday night the team went to Taylorville and lost a. thriller in the last few seconds to Taylorville by the score of 22-21. Our next game was with Athens, who again took our measure by the tune of 32-23. Then o11 January 25, we played Feitshans High of Springfield. This was one ol' our best games. Both teams played slow and deliberate but the Tigers were the better. Wle won the Conference Championship by winning-17-13. U The next Friday Macomb, wl1o l1adn't won any athletic game from Beardstown in 3 years, was our 11ext foe. It was a walk away for the locals by the score of 44-22. The Virginia Red Headst' were next on the list for Beardstown and were sub- dued by the score of 32-15. Lewistown was ready for Beardstown but not ready enough. The boys really showed the Indians how to handle a. basketball. YVe avenged one of last year's loss- es to Lewistown by wi1111i11g 37-110. V The tenth of February was a very cold night on which to make a. trip to Havana. But Havana warmed things up by being plenty hot, The result was a victory for the Ducks by score of 36-28. Q The very next night the Tigers't encountered the team that had beaten Ha.vana pretty bad, Quincy. It was a thriller with the localites winning out by 23 to 19. Following the Quincy game a courageous band of players from Winchester came to our gyi to play This resulted in another victory for the Tigers 35 15 11 . 1 - . Next we played our second game with Lewistown. And again revenge was sweet. They beat us twice last year and this game made the second time we beat them this year. Score 31-16. . On Wasl1ingto11's birthdiay we played Virginia and again beat the Redheads by the score of 25-15. Bill Murray received a broken nose from this game. Following tl1e Virginia game the team made a long trip to Farmington. 'They stopped i11 Canton, where, I hear, the beefsteak was rather tough. The Tigers played an excellent game and bagged a 4-1-22 game. . The last scheduled game of the year was with Macomb on the home court. It was one of the most exciting games ever played here, with B. H. S. winning in an overtime 21-19. The team now was ready for the Regional Tournament, wl1ere they hoped they would play Rushville for tl1e title. Their first opponent was Macomb Academy who were beaten 48-27. The next night they played Mt. Sterling and conquered them 38-25. The same night Vermont beat our touted rivals 35-28. Saturday night fllG Tigers played Vermont for the Championship and successfully won the tourn- ament 39-19. Next for the Tigers was the Sectional tournament at Pittsfield. The first night Beardstown won a hard game from Mendon by a score of 28-23. But at last fate overtook the Tigers and they were beaten by a great Milton team who went 011 to win he trip to the State tournament. The season was over for tl1e 'tTigers who having accomplished a very good TOC'- ord stored away their equipment.

A quandrangular meet was held here on the 11th of April with Macomb, Rushville, Mt. Sterling, and Beards- town competing. The score was 63 to 57 with Beardstown nosing out Rushville's entry with a first in the broad jump by John Musgrove. Other steller performers in this meet were Murray, Swan, Foster, Goff, Fast and Osmer. Perhaps the most important event of the year was the Spoon River meet held liere on April 26th. The conference is composed of Beardstown, Rushville, Ma- comb, Bushnell, Cuba, Havana, Farmington, Virginia, lndustry and Lewistown. This is the major meet of the year with over two hundred entries competing. The 'Tigers' were 11ot supposed to win the meet by forecasters, however, the sterling per- formances of Murray, Musgrove, Csmer, Foster, Goff, Long, Swan and Duncan env abled us to lead the entire field until the last event. In this, Farmington taking a first and third won the meet. The scores were as follows: Farmington 32M, Beardstown 305, Cuba ZOM, Havana 20, Rushville 18, Macomb 11, Lewistown 8, Bush'nell 4 and Virginia 3. The final 880 yard relay was the outstanding event of the day with eight entrants taking the start. Beardstown's great te-am won the relay in 1:40 With Murray, Vatthauer, Musgrove and Osmer running in order. Cn Friday of the same week the Tigers acted as host to the rest of the teams in the county. Each member of the Bc-ardstown team took a part in running the meet forthe remaining teams i11 the county. Beardstown chose to remain out of this meet dueito the larger enrollment of our school. The meet was won by Arenzville. After winning the basketball title in the new Central Conference the Tigers set foot for Springfield on May 7 to participate in the new Central conference Track and Field meet held at Lanphier park. There are many outstanding teams in the meet: Feitshans and Lanphier of Springfield, Clinton, Jacksonville, I. S. D. and Beardstown. Each year another meet is of great importance whlen the VVest Central meet is held here to determine the championship. This meet is held May 10 with tl1e stu- dent body being excused in the afternoon for the meet. Either Ashland, Rushville or Beardstown have the power to win this meet. Foster of Beardstown and Davis of Rushville will again hold their friendly rivalry in the distance runs. Musgrove and Murray are expected to show their ability. Cn May 14 the State High School Athletic. Association holds its district meet to determine the contestants that are to go to the state meet held at Champaign during the week-end. Last year John Musgrove and Jack Foster were winners and were entered in the State meet. 1 Cn May 17 a new thrill will be added to the track schedule with a night track meet held at Pittsfield. Then on the following week-end the State meet will be held on the 21st of May. ' J BASEBALL This is the first year that baseball has ever been conducted at this high school. Two games were played with Macomb and two wins resulted. Several games are yet to be played and are looked forward to with great pleasure. The scores of the Macomb games were 4-2 and 12-6. The baseball squad was made up of Dale Ha- ger, John Swan, Bill Murray, John Duncan, Ted Jamison, Bob Phelps, John Mus- grove, Lionel Riley, Rob Long, Elmer Huss, Clarence D'Camp, Dick Murray, Jack Foster, Harold Fast and Durward Fry. This event looks very popular and perhaps is here to stay. TENNIS A tennis team was formed this year and matches were made with Lanphier high school'of Springfield. The first one was held here with Beardstown winning six matches to none for Lanphier. The tennis team consisted of Roy Roberts, Bill Mur- ray, Robert Flamme, Howard Csmer, and Cline Brockman. f - WRESTLING ' Wrestling was added to the High School athletic program this year under tl1e di- rection of Mr. Robert Scott, the Junior High coach. Mr. Scott was formerly a mem- ber of the University of Illinois wrestling team. Art Jones, Harold Fast, Homer Welcli and Dick Murray were the charter meni- bers of the B. H. S. wrestling team. Fast, Welch, and Murray went to the State meet in Champaign, March 4 and 5 and showed up very well considering the small amount of experience they had. Jones was unable to go because of the regional basketball tournament. Wrestling is a new sport in the B. H. S. but Coach Scott has instructed the Junior high boys in the grunt and groan science and we hope that in future years there will be as great an interest for it developed here as in other schools of this state. SPRING FOOTBALL Those boys who have- no interest in track, baseball, tennis or other sports were out on the field at times limbering up their kicking and passing for the coming foot- ball campaign. No competitive teams are played during the spring but the spirit is there- for the game of games. K features Q: Q55 xgwk x x, LE gkcji xfx f fra- ,Z 5. .
