ANNIN English We’ve been drifting along down the River of Time As it flows thru the realms of the years, With its faultless rhythm and musical rhyme. And we’ve entered the High School expansion, sublime, Where we’re gathering thin spread veneers. How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow, And the summers like buds between, And the years in the sheaf, they come and they go On the river’s breast with its ebb and its flow, As they glide in the shadows and sheen. There’s a magical Isle down the River of Time Where the softest of airs are playing; There’s a cloudless sky and a tropical clime, And a voice as sweet as a vesper chime, And the Junes and the roses keep staying. And the name of this Isle is the Isle of Success, And it glitters and shines in each dream, And it beckons us on thru each trial and stress, But we’re told that we never will reach it unless We do more than just drift down the stream. But the folly of all this yearning and strife Is discovered on reaching the goal, For the dream was the gold, and the Isle is all rife With regret, and you look back the River of Life And dream of that lost high school shoal. Oh 1 think that the dreams after all are the best And you dreamers so proud and so pure, Who give to your gold no complete acid test, You are favored by Heaven with a life that is blest— Golden truths that shall ever endure. So we’ll dream on for aye of that thrice blessed Isle All the days of our life till the night; But when evening comes on, as it will after while, We’ll look back with a tear—covered up by a smile— On those dear high school days twinkling bright. —ROGER HILL. 8 SENIORS 9 STANLEY CRAWFORD High” “And the green grass grew all around”.

There were one hundred and twelve of us. The other classes saw that we meant business when we elected Bill Foulk, Harry Crisp, Mabel Hart and Gilbert Vansdale for our officers. Miss Pfaff kindly consented to be our shepherdess and guide our tender feet over the rugged pathway of the Freshman year. We had an enforced vacation of six weeks on account of the “flu,” which caused us to lose our other holidays. In order to get acquainted with high school customs we held a party for ourselves on January 4th. This one was soon followed by an overall-apron party. We had lost thirty-five when we started our Sophomore year. We chose Harry Crisp for president, Blanche Dollins for secretary and treasurer, and Miss Pfaff for our advisor. The first social event of the year was an enjoyable picnic at the dam. On Hallowe’en we entertained the Juniors with a masquerade party, and some time afterward they entertained us with a party at the K. of P. hall. The Freshmen also entertained us this year. Both parties were very successful. The last and biggest event of the season was the Soph-Senior reception, to which the Seniors testified that it was the best of the year. We were very happy at the beginning of our Junior year, for we were now upper classmen and were proud of the fact. Our officers this year were: Levi Browning, president; William Brinley, vice-president; Aden Poindexter, secretary and treasurer. Miss Pfaff was again our advisor. We were first entertained by the Seniors at a Hallowe’en party. Next in order was the Junior “Guest Party,” the first affair held in the new gym. We entertained the Sophomores with a party shortly afterward. The greatest social event of this year was the Junior-Senior reception. Ward’s Hall was beautifully decorated with the Senior colors—purple and gold; 19 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY CONTINUED and the entertainment, consisting of dancing, cards and other games, was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Seniors at last! But only fifty-two out of one hundred and twelve have reached that high goal. The officers this year are: Bill Foulk, president; Katherine Dillon, vice-president; and Levi Browning, secretary and treasurer. We were very sorry to lose Miss Pfaff as our class advisor, but we have found a worthy successor in the person of Miss Quesenberry. Our rings and pins have arrived and everyone seems well pleased with them. As an extra undertaking we have brought the Brown Lyceum Course to our school and the entertainments have proved a success (financially?). Our Senior play was “Nothing But the Truth,” and of course it was a great success. In athletics our class has always had distinguished men in the foreground. Among them are William Foulk, William Brinley, Joe Kirsh and Paul Whittington. We are proud of our school, our class, and our colors of blue and white. 20 BENTON NEWS Cecil Shepherd, Editor Benton, 111., June 1, 1932 Vol. XCI No. 126 MEETING OF FRANK- DEYELOPMEXTS ARE In Sensational Brinley Case.

WRESTLING Shorty Darnell vs. Pete Ganz Park Gardens May 5 | AN AMERICAN COACH FOR OXFORD To the great surprise of everyone in the athletic world, Joe Ivirsch has been asked to become the coach of the Oxford basketball team. The choice is a wise one, for Kirsch is undoubtedly the most successful college coach in the U. S. today. His record of lour championship teams in five years (he has been coach at Illinois University) Is proof enough of his coaching ability. England has at last come to realize that the U. S. is her equal if not her supei ior in almost every branch of sport. The employment of Kirsch seems to indicate that the British attribute the success of American teams to the American coaches.

Loaded with many passengers, Happy ns happy could be. William Foulk was the Captain, An athlete strong and brave, Whom every one relied on To save us from a watery grave. Levi turned the pilot's wheel, And Aden was first mate, Bill Bvinley helped give orders; Wendell and Arlic sat in state. Hugh Somers was the engineer, Stanley and Waller shoveled coal; Miss Quesenberry gave advice: Gus guarded the tall flag pole. It carried colors seen afar Which stood for truth and right The pride of Gus’s little heart For they were blue and white. Joe Kirsch took turns at sweeping decks Assisted by Olan and Dan. Errol Sullivan was second mate, And Herman played the ladies’ mar.. Ruth. Essie, Vinila, and Pauline They served as chambermaids, Vada, Lena, Ruth and Faye The dining tables laid. Of course we didn’t have a farm For Roger, Cecil, and A. D. So they read of sheep and hogs As contented as could be. Of course we had to have a man For wireless telegrams; Ray Kell sends them at your dictation And Paul delivers them. Erne studied law so well It seemed a mystery. Spencer grew to be well known For writing a history. 21) Emma and Anna filled their place To chaperon the crowd. Claudia and Mabel were often seen But not heard for they were never loud. Jennie was seen all over the ship, And often turned the wheel When Levi went a star gazing, Or in search of a hole in the keel. A deck chair sat apart, An easel near at hand. The artist’s comer you will know, With Lena’s drawing grand. Darnell, Hayes, and Wallace Formed the good ship’s band. They played for entertainments, And their music was simply grand.

Estelle and Opal were sea sick; When we first set out afloat. Ruth Baldwin had a Beauty Shop. And Mabel wrote short hand; Kittie Mann vamped all the men Who came in touch of her hand. 30 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR ( LASS OF ’22 To Whom It May Concern: Whereas, the aforesaid Senior class of the Benton Township High does realize that they have come nigh unto their allotted time of four years, and hereas, they are of supposedly sound mind and in full possession of their various faculties, and hereas, they do wish to make disposition of their various rights, properties and privileges, said disposition to take place after their impending demise.

RILL FOULK Quarterback. All-star quarterback and captain for two successive years. Football in Southern Illinois enjoyed another banner year during the fall of 1921— a year greater, because more teams were playing a better brand of football—and because the public was more interested. Twenty-two schools were in the lists—exclusive of Belleville and East St. Louis. Those two are not considered here, because they compete principally with schools to the North. Benton, who last year tied with Harrisburg for the championship of Egypt, won an undisputed title this fall. Benton, Murphysboro, Olney and Harrisburg were the best teams and should rank in about the order named. Benton defeated each of the nthcr three strong teams anti then administered a decisive defeat to the Carl Schurz High, of Chicago, in a post season game. The four teams above were made up of men f substantial weight, were all well coached and played excellent football. The champions played more consistently good football than the other teams and this trait car-tied them through successfully. 50 THE NINETEEN TWENTY-ONE SEASON THE WEST FRANKFORT GAME. The 1021 football season started on Oct. 1, when Benton clashed with West Frankfort. The game was marked by many fumbles on both sides. The Benton team showed the lack of practice in both offensive and defensive, work. The first half Bill Foulk was the only man who could gain ground consistently. The single touchdown scored ir. the first half was almost entirely due to his efforts. During the intermission. Brother Ulrich honored the team with one of his famous sermons and the play in the second half showed the results. We scored four touchdowns this half, one by a forward pass to Kirsch, two by Roberts through the line, and another on a line buck by Dillon. Lee of West Frankfort scored a touchdown by a wide end run. The game ended 35-7. GEOFFREY MOORE “Cherry Halfback. A red-headed flying chine. BOB EUBANKS Center. Hard luck was all that kept him from making the all-star. 51 WILLIAM BRIN LEY Hank” Tackle. He is fast, strong, and plays Ins position well. ARTHUR ROBERTS “Bull” Halfback. He plays like his nickname. I THE BELLEVILLE GAME. The team worked hard the following week in preparation for Belleville. Some even worried over the fact that Capt. Foulk was not to play; but lie had a worthy substitute in Flovd Hall. Benton scored in the first three minutes of play and after that it was one Grand March from one end of the field to the other. Forty and fifty-yard end runs were common and twenty-yard bucks went through every minute or so. In all. Benton scored 20 touchdowns and when time was called the score was 132-7. Belleville scored on a fumbled punt from the two-yard line. 52 THE CAIRO GAME. This was our first game away from home and Cairo was reported to have a strong team, so the team went down Friday at noon to have a good night’s rest. The game settled down early to real hard work and it was soon apparent that it was an endurance contest. Benton scored first, on straight line bucks, but Cairo came back with one in the next few minutes. The touchdown for Cairo came largely on account of a fifteen-yard penalty. There was no scoring in the second quarter and when Benton scored a touchdown in the third, things began to look better. But Cairo scored early in the third quarter. Then Benton began to play real football. Bull Roberts simply could not be stopped until he had crossed the goal line. Bull made all three touchdowns for Benton that day and his line plunges will be long remembered, both by Cairo and by Benton. Cairo gave the team the very finest possible treatment in every wav. The team took an extensive voyage on a ferry boat and they will testify that time,'tide, and the “Three States Ferry” wait for no man (not even A. D. Jackson). It is also reported that several of the team members are considering entering the wholesale dry goods business. They intend to specialize in Turkish towels. 53 A. 1). JACKSON “Abo Guard. They don't grow ’em hip enough to gain through A. I). JOE STALCIT Guard. A good player, and as pood a wit as player. THE MURPHYSBORO GAME. The Murphy came was looked forward to as one of the best games of the season because they had beaten Harrisburg, whom we had looked upon as the strongest team we would have to meet. The game started rather slowly with each team losing the ball on downs several times. Benton carried the ball to the thirty-yard line and then pulled the prettiest play that anyone around here had ever seen. The Foulk brothers were responsible for this play and the touchdown that they scored undoubtedly won the game for Benton. When the play started it looked like a line buck and the Murphysboro backfield drew in. When Bill passed the ball over their heads to Lajoie they were so surprised that they did not even bother “Rooster.” In the second quarter each team scored one. But in the third quarter Benton scored three touchdowns and held Murphysboro scoreless. In the last of the fourth quarter we eased up and let them have one more touchdown. The game ended 35-13. 51 JOE KIUSC'II End. Southern Illinois Allstar. Nuf-Ced. CAUL DENHAM “Chuck Fullback. A little thinn like fretting hurt doesn't worry “Chuck” at all. THE MARION GAME. We went to Marion expecting an easy game and were surprised at the showing that they made. Marion has a good team for forward passing but not for all around football. We scored two touchdowns during the first quarter and this ended the scoring of the game. Benton could have scored much more but preferred to hold themselves in. However, Benton could not have scored at will as they did with Belleville. The sad part of this game was that Bill missed a kick, the only one that he missed in eight regular games. 55 PAI L WHITTINGTON •u hit Quarterback. He could dodge like a cat, and run like the wind. CLARENCE TAYLOR Center. He showed his ability in the Olney game. THE FLORA GAME. After a week’s hard practice we ran up against Flora. This turned out to be a much harder game than was expected. The first half ended only 7-0 in our favor. The second half started with a rush and the end of the game told a different story. In the first of the third quarter we made our second touchdown in three plays from the forty-yard line. The game ended 3S-0. 56 JULIUS DILLON “Judy” Fullback. Ho always had the real team spirit. FLOYD HALL He’ll have a chance to star next year. THE HARRISBURG GAME. According to dope we should have beaten Harrisburg handily, but they came out determined to win and gave us a stiff battle. In a way, this game was to end the dispute over the championship of the last two years. The quarter ended 0-0 and Harrisburg several times threatened our goal with the terrific plunging of their fullback, Gaskins. The half ended with the score 7-0. The touchdown came from one of the prettiest passes ever seen on this field; Foulk to Kirsch. Kling from St. Louis and McAndrew from Carbondale, did the refereeing. The second half Benton played a defensive game and the game ended 7-0. 57 1 Vi ':1 i ' ' i- - V li j • ' i i WENDELL FRIER “Soap Some of these (lays he will cut loose with that eighty yard run. FRANK HAYES “Chink” The strength of a team is in its substitutes. THE OLNEY GAME. We took a hand and went on a special train to Olney the following Friday. This game was the game which was to really decide the championship of Southern’Illinois. The game was played on a muddy field and in a downpour of rain. Benton scored first with a fake end run by Bill Foulk. After this neither team could seem to do anything. Benton had many chances to score but due to the slick field could not put the ball across. This score, 7-0, gave Benton undisputed title to the championship of Southern Illinois. CARL SCHURZ VS. BENTON. For Thanksgiving day a game was arranged with Carl Schurz High School of Chicago. This was the first time in football history that a Northern Illinois team met a Southern Illinois team and the result was very satisfactory to Southern Illinois. The field was very wet but not enough to interfere with the game materially. Schurz started the scoring in the very beginning of the first quarter with a field goal. With ♦he score 3-0, so soon the Benton rooters began to take things seriously. But in a very few minutes Benton pushed over a touchdown and business looked better. From the end of the first quarter, Benton outplayed Schurz almost all the time. Benton scored three more touchdowns and the visitors were unable to score again. The game ended: Schurz 3, Benton 27. 58 _____Jk u l -■ . • iU ) t t, !i A • t II '' t f j “i.■ ■!•..tlii , HERMAN PAGE A good sample of Franklin County “Beer’.

On twenty-two teams there are certain to be many excellent players. In naming the following eleven men to make up an all-star selection, I realize that many fine players are left off. That is as it must be. There are only eleven men to be selected. A few of the positions are easy to fill. Nobody who had seen them play would leave off Followed, Kuykendall or Baldwin. Many are the claimants for the other positions. Ends—Kuykendall, Cairo; Kirsch, Benton. Tackles—Baldwin, Bridgeport, and Sneed, Harrisburg. Guards—Isom. Murphysboro; Herbert, Cairo.

By WILLIAM McANDREW. 59 Under the leadership of Miss Annin, the Girls’ Athletic Association and the various branches of athletics have been very successful this year, class has been represented by a basketball and volley ball team. This spring they will play inbaseball and from the interest shown, the giris will be as successful in this form of sport as they have been in others. 60 Basketball this year in the B. T. H. S. has been very successful as the twenty-two games won and the nine lost will testify. The tournament was held here this year and was a success from every standpoint except that Benton was beaten in her first game by West Frankfort. At the local tournament at Christopher, Benton won easily. After this the team went to an invitation tournament at Washington University and was defeated by Belleville in the second game that they played. But we are very proud of the fact that Bill Foulk was placed on the all-star team selected there. This year we lose Bill Foulk, Joe Kirsch, and Paul Whittington. There are men ready to fill their places but it will be hard for anyone to fill their places as well as Bill. Joe and Whitt did.

The only high school team to defeat Benton was Christopher. As Benton later defeated Christopher, the sting of the one defeat was considerably lessened. The record for the season was as follows: Benton, 20; West Frankfort, 8. Benton, 26; West Frankfort, 8. Benton, 31; Sesser, 2. Benton, 6; Sesser, 5. Benton, 15; Johnston City, 9. Benton, 18; Johnston City, 6. Benton, 3; Christopher, 5. Benton, 9; Christopher, 9 (eleven innings). Benton, 3; Christopher, 2. Benton, 23; Ewing College, 1. Benton, 14; Ewing College, 5. Benton, 10; S. I. N. U., 13. Benton had a good season because it was a well balanced team, using good team work most of the time. The majority of the men being one season men, many mistakes were made. Paul Whittington, the one outstanding pitcher in high school circles in Southern Illinois, had a good season. Both of his defeats were due to errors behind him. The day Christopher beat us, Whit held them to four measly hits. This year with a seasoned team behind him, “Country” will be invincible. Frank Scarborough, who was good outfielder and a hard hitter, pitched and won two of the games. Floyd Hall, a Freshman, caught every game. His timely hitting often helped. Bill Foulk, who captained and played short, was a tower of strength both at the bat and in the field. As a clean-up hitter par excellence, Bill won admiration everywhere. With Joe Kirsch, Gene Stewart and Kooster Foulk at the three corners of the diamond, Benton had a high school infield that was well above the average and was going like a clock at the end of the season. With the added experience that infield should be a stone wall this year. 63 Benton won praise everywhere for the fastest, surest outfield in high school baseball. With Fritz Williams, Frank Scarborough and Harry Burkett in the gardens, no fly ever dropped safe and clean hits were gathered in with precision and returned with speed. There were always capable substitutes in Pewee Wyant and Vallie Flack. Whit, too, when not in the box. played the outfield to everyone’s satisfaction and hit in Ty Cobb style. Arthur Coleman moved away after playing one game, but in that one game he showed himself a fast and sure outfielder. Not a man on the team graduated last year. We could have a winner without adding a new man. But there is some splendid material in such men as Chuck Denham, Poodie Harris and Clay Ing and it is going to be hard to keep them out of a berth. Then if Peewee and Vallie can hit they should win regular places, for Peewee is a peppy and fast base-runner with a nice line of chatter, and Vallie can cover the whole outfield. Both are small and would make ideal lead-olf men. In the hands of Coach Butts, who is both an experienced piayer and coach, the team this year should have an unbroken string of victories. TRACK The first event of the track season of 1921 was the dual meet at Mt. Vernon. Benton won by a large score. Red Moore won first in the 50-yd., 100-yd., 220-yd. and second in the 440. The team did very well for the first meet of the season. Next we lost to Marion at Benton. We made a better showing against Marion than we did last year, but we weren’t good enough to win. The relay was the best race of the meet, Marion winning by inches. The meet with Herrin was a decisive victory for the B. T. H. S. Herrin scored only one first. We only sent the relay team, Kell, Stamper, Moore and Brinlev to the Southern Illinois Meet at Murphysboro. They won the relay easily and Harry picked up a first in the high jump. In the Franklin County Meet, West Frankfort was the closest contender. Benton won by a large margin but the meet was very interesting. This year the County Meet should be even more interesting as it is probable that Thompsonville, West Frankfort, Benton, Christopher, Ses-ser and Zeigler will compete. The prospects for the Benton team are very good. Red Moore is track captain and Ray Kell is field captain. Red is sure to score in the dashes and the quarter. Bill Brinley, Joe Stalcup, Earl Doty, Ellis Sharp, and Verco Brinley should all do good work in the mile, and in the half mile. In the pole vault and high jump, Ray Kell and Buck Kelly should win some points. Red Moore is our best broad jumper and Chester Gammon does the hop, step and jump. In throwing the weights around, Bull Roberts, Joe Stalcup, and Ezra Malone should do well. Kent Hariss is our only hurdler and he should raise the Benton score in almost every meet this year. Altogether the nrospects for the year are very good, and with the new men we may expect from the Freshman class the 1922 track season should be very successful. Cl 1. Now in the second year of the reign of King Ralph it came nigh unto the time of the feast of Thanksgiving. 2. Now it was a fact that the sons of The B. T. II. S. had for many, yea, many long years longed for a chance at the necks of the Chicagoites. 3. Now it came to pass as the time for the feast of Thanksgiving came nigh that the sons of the B. T. H. S. did say unto the Chicagoites, through the mouth of one of their learned soothsayers, one Jack, sur-named Ulrich. 4. And he spake unto them saying, “Preach not unto us of your supremacy over the Egyptians, but select ye eleven of your warriors and let them do battle with a like number of our warriors, and let the result of this carnage decide this mooted question.” 5. And after much deliberation they replied that they would venture into the camp of the Bentonians. 6. And thus it came to pass that on the day of the feast of Thanksgiving, eleven picked warriors from the camp of the Chicagoites arrived in the camp of the Bentonians. 7. And many and rife were the speculations of the Bentonians as to the outcome of the battle. (Some unloyal sons even bet two to one on Chicago) . 8. And after the feasting had ceased, the people gathered upon the field where the carnage was to take place. Yea, even unto the children and the old men. 9. And there were on the field many musicians who did encourage the warriors with harp and timbrel. 10. And after the music had ceased the warriors of the Bentonians came upon the field, clad in grim vestments, and with determined mien they passed the ball one to another. 11. And likewise the warriors of the Chicagoites did pass the pigskin about but they were poor stuff when compared with the warriors of the Bentonians. 12. Then did they take their places upon the field. The Bentonians upon the south and the Chicagoites upon the north. 13. And at a whistle from the chief publican they did rush together with mighty strides and the roaring from the assembled multitudes did surpass the thunder of the heavens. 14. And even at the beginning of the conflict it was apparent that the warriors of the Bentonians were superior. r,5 15. Hut Fate was against them and by dint of great good fortune the Chicagoites did boot the ball between the posts. 16. At this, many of the people did wail and moan among themselves, saying. “Verily, verily, we shall be delivered into the hands of Chicago.” 17. But the end was not yet. 18. Now in the ranks of the Bentonians there was one Cherry, surnamed Moore, and one William, surnamed Foulk. 19. And there was also among the ranks of the Bentonians one Arthur surnamed Roberts, and one Chuck, surnamed Denham, who was a mighty man. 20. Now the warriors of the Chicagoites were unable to stay these mighty warriors in their progress. 21. And the multitude of the Bentonians saw this and rejoiced. 22. And one Charles, surnamed Sauther, did cry out to the multitude, saying, “Will we win?” 23. And the Bentonians responded right strongly, saying, “Nabisco, Heinz, Van Campio.” 24. Which is, being interpreted, “D---Right.” 25. Now when it became apparent that the sons of Egypt were withal very mighty in battle, the ranks of the Chicagoites weakened and they yielded up the ghost. 26. And many a coat was rent in twain and hats were smashed for ecstasy. 27. For there was great happiness in the camp of the Bentonians, the like of which has not been seen for many moons, nay even unto the time of our fathers and our fathers’ fathers. Selah!

FOULK r� 9 SO Cl KTY KID PARTY The Girls’ Athletic Association gave a “Kids’ Valentine Party” in the gymnasium on Saturday afternoon, February 12th. About thirty little (?) girls were present. Popcorn balls, candy suckers and ice cream cones were sewed as refreshments suitable for “children.” “Black Man,” “New York” and other children’s games were played and everyone enjoyed the few hours in “Kid Land.” HOME COMING After several attempts to organize the Alumni of the B. T. H. S. a real Home Coming was held Christmas week of this year. The hall was given a bright appearance by the booths of the classes of '22, ’23, '24, ’25. When everyone had had a good chance to shake hands with everyone else all the Alumni went into the assembly, where they listened to short talks from representatives of almost all the classes. Miss Margaret Cantrell sang, and the Junior class presented a one act play, “Rooms For Rent.” Let us all try to make this an annual affair and one to be looked forward to every Christmas time. JUNIOR-SOPH HALLOWE’EN MASQUERADE On Saturday night, October 29th, the Juniors started their social career by giving the Sophomores a Hallowe’en party in the gymnasium. The room was dimly lighted and had ghosts, black cats and witches watching all around. The grotesque company that assembled began a weird, swaying march to the tune of—the less said about the music the better. Bill Jackson won the prize for having the best costume. Bill, you surely are some vamp in feminine clothes. The refreshments consisted of sandwiches, pumpkin pie, cider and punch. 70 THE FOOTBALL PARTY After they had won the football championship of Southern Illinois, a party was hurriedly arranged in honor of the football team and was given on Monday, November 21st. The High School boys and the Alumni played a basketball game, which was frequently interrupted in order to let Mac and Jim get their wind. The rest of the evening was spent in games of all sorts. Moon gazing by couples seemed to be the most enjoyable game. Ice cream, cakes and mints were served. THE ELKS ENTERTAIN THE HIGH SCHOOL Friday evening, December 2d, the Elks gave a banquet in honor of the 1921 champion football team. The dinner was prepared by the ladies of the Methodist church and was served by High School girls. At the end of the dinner Jim Snyder, toastmaster, called on many prominent Elks and High School teachers for short talks. Speeches of gratitude were given by Bill Foulk, 1921 captain, and Arthur Roberts, 1922 captain-elect. From the church the team was escorted to the Elks’ club rooms, where, along with the other High School pupils, they were entertained with an open house party which everyone enjoyed. 71 s 72 ORGANIZATIONS i THE DEBATING CLUB The debating club was organized under the supervision of Miss Sense and was intended to train its members for participation in a triangular debate with Marion and Harrisburg, but when this became impossible the interest lagged. However, two very good debates were given before the assembly. It is hoped that more interest will be taken in this club next year and that nothing unfortunate will happen to interfere with the progress of the club. DEBATES November 23.

AG CLUB At the beginning of the school year the Ag Club was organized with a membership of twenty-five charter members. Associate members are being constantly added, it being open to all students interested in agriculture. The objects of the club are as follows: (1) To encourage and promote vocational agriculture in schools and at home, and to cultivate among the young people of the community a love for the open country, the farm life and the country home. (2) To promote contests in plant growing, animal raising and holding exhibitions of farm products grown or produced by members of the club. (3) To train active and efficient leaders among young men for rural life progress. (4) To furnish opportunity thru organization for social activities, such as literary programs, social gatherings, outdoor picnics, etc. In its meetings which are held every other Thursday, live topics of agriculture are discussed. These give the members valuable training in parliamentary practice, poise, and the ability to speak in public. Debating is becoming popular and promises to become one of the most important parts of the program. The club has organized a basketball team which we believe to be the equal of any club or class team in the school. This club at present is one of the liveliest organizations in school; and as it is continually gaining new material we see no reason why it will not in the future, be one of the most respected, most useful, and most popular clubs in school. 75 GIRLS FOR GIRLS IN THE GIRLS’ A. A. We acknowledge that boys are indispensable—God bless ’em; still, some of us know that the jolliest times of girls’ existence are those when no member of the opposite sex is within hailing distance. The few of us who know this secret want to share it with the rest of us, and with this as a very important secondary purpose the Girls’ Athletic Association was organized in the fall of 1921. The avowed aims of the association are to foster an interest in girls’ athletics and out-door life and to develop a spirit of good sportsmanship. It is in the intimate relations of girls with girls on the gym floor or on a hike that the true joy of girls’ companionship can be fully realized. The officers chosen to promote these aims for the first year of the association’s existence were Jennie Moss, President; Crystal Waller, Vice-President and Ellen Burkhart, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Seymour and Miss Annin are the faculty members of the executive board. “ The year’s activities include a fall volley ball tournament, an interbasketball tournament and at the time of going to press, plans for hikes, indoor baseball and tennis matches for the spring. Fifty-three girls reported for volley-ball practice. The Juniors were class champions, defeating both the Sophomores and Freshmen in three out of four games. The Freshmen were victorious over the Sophomores in a 3-1 match. Not enough Seniors reported five times for practice to qualify them for a team. 7G THE HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club was organized at the beginning of the second semester with Miss Cremeans and Mrs. Adams as faculty advisors. The membership requirements are that anyone desiring to become a member shall have had at least one semester of Home Economics; or any one interested in the subject may become an associate member. The aims of the organization are to encourage and promote home economics in the high school and to cultivate a love for the home and an interest in civic affairs. The organization also intends to provide social activities in the form of literary programs, play festivals, picnics, etc. The officers for the current semester are, Blanche Dollins, President; Nina Bennett, Vice-President; Laura Moss, Secretary; Constance Skinner. Treasurer; Katherine Dillon, Program Leader. The Home Economics Club promises to be one of the best and livest organizations in the B. T. H. S. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The fall of 1919 was a fortunate year for the B. T. H. S. because the present crop of Juniors made their debut that year. John Browning, Giles Meads and Ruth Perry, each becomingly draped in green and white, our class colors, officiated at our class meetings the first year and Miss Berna-dine Strawn acted as class advisor. As Sophomores the class officers were Julius Dillon, Ellen Burkhart and Duppe Rea, and we had a new class advisor, Miss Mildred Seymour. This year we fairly shone in athletics, both on the regular football and basketball teams, and the Sophomore class team won the first class tournament. Now we are Juniors, and Wendell Frier, Margaret Bentley, Ruby Aiken, Ruth Stilley and Ruth Burks transact all the necessary business for the class. The Juniors shine in athletics, in dramatics, in music and in classroom work. Hail the future Seniors! TWO DRAMATIC ART CLUE The Dramatic Art Club was organized this year under the supervision of Miss McShea. with Ruth Burks as president; Charles Jackson as vice-president and Margaret Bentley as secretary-treasurer. The club is one that the school has been needing for a long time, for the presentation of plays and for the study of dramatic art and poise. By the interest and enthusiasm with which this organization has been started it promises to be one of the most interesting of the school’s societies. The “Mouse Trap,” a little one-act farce and “Advertising for a Husband.” were given with such ability on the part of the actors that a brilliant future is prophesied for them.

The play opens in the downtown office of E. M. Ralston, a New York broker. Ralston promises his daughter, Gwen, who is on a committee to raise some charity money, that if she raises twenty thousand dollars by the end of the month he will double it or will double any amount over that. Gwen, who has already raised ten thousand dollars, goes to Bob Bennett, her fiance and a business partner of her father, in confidence, and asks him to double it for her by an investment. To do this Bob makes a bet of ten thousand dollars with Ralston that he can tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours. He is taken to the country home of Ralston so that he can be closely watched. 81 ACT II. Complications immediately set in ami the domestic relations of Ralston are disrupted by Bob’s truthfulness. First he insults the daughter of the richest man in the summer colony by telling her that her voice is terrible and that her hat is awful. Then he causes a misunderstanding between Mr. and Mrs. Ralston by telling Mrs. Ralston the truth about the visit of two chorus girls to her husband’s office. He makes matters worse by telling the truth about some worthless stock that Ralston has tried to sell to his friends. However Bob is still resolved to tell the truth and win the bet. 82 ACT III. The bet ends at four o’clock and that time is drawing near. Relations between Mr. and Mrs. Ralston have become still more strained because of the visit of the two chorus girls to the Ralston home. Mrs. Ralston tells her husband that unless he proves to her that the chorus girls are not friends of his she will leave. She will believe no one but Bob, so in order to make him tell a lie Ralston, Van Dusen, and Dick decide to influence Gwen to ask him concerning the relations between her father and the chorus girls, thinking that he will not tell her the truth about them. However, Bob does tell her the truth. Four o’clock arrives, and he wins the bet. He then smooths things out and the play ends with everything made right. 83 The Teeth of the (iitt Horse THE TEETH OF THE GIFT HORSE Presented by the Senior Class CAST RICHARD BUTLER..................................
