Lewis Editors Willis Lewis Business Manager THE 1935 SCA KA ti THE 1935 SCARAB The Treasure of Memories After many years have passed you by, And your mind from care is free, As you sit with your loved ones at home at night, Scan through this book of memories. In this treasure of yours you’ll always find As you turn its worn pages so slow, A friend, a classmate, a teacher so kind — Again you’ll meet those you have known Live again those days that are long gone past. Glance through your pictorial review, And all the glad moments you formerly had Once more will belong to you. You’ll remember well what its pages tell— An occurence you’ll never forget; Each turn of a page and it recalls that age That is dear to your memory yet. You’ll lay it away —this precious book, And while riding the waves of life’s seas. You’ll always enjoy just one more look At the treasure of school memories. — Vernon li. Lewis Cla� of 1935 Page Four THE Foreword Four years ago a group of Freshmen stood trembling without the gates of high school. Now those same gates are closed and barred against that group, which stands trembling before the slowly opening gates of the world. There is no returning along that path. We have made mistakes; we have also achieved some victories. We present this Scarab to you hoping that you will find in this record of the activities of the class of 1935, something to store away in your memories, something which you may consider worthy of us and our ideals. 1936 SCARAB THE Dedication With a sense of how inadequate this tribute is, which expresses only a small part of our sincere appreciation and gratitude for all they have done for us and our High School, we, the class of 1935, dedicate this Scarab to, Neal Phelps George Moore SCARAB Page Six THE 1935 Scarab Staff Clark Davis Co-Editor Vernon B.

T. H. S. The gates were opened, and we gazed long at the stately portals of our new seat of knowledge. On September 29, we marched to the polls and selected Clifton Deming as our first president. He was assisted in his executive duties by the following members of the class: Sophia Ross, vice-president; Edward Glover, secretary; and Mary Payne, treasurer. Mary Feurer was selected as the freshman representative on the Student Council. Our sponsors were Miss Vance and Miss Bramble. In almost all of the school activities we were represented by a few students, and we entertained ourselves with a party in the gym. As sophomores we approached the familiar portals of B. T. H. S. in September, 1932. Our class consisted of about one hundred and sixty-eight intelligent young people. We selected for our executive officers Woodrow Rhodes, president; Lyman Robertson, vice-president; Vernon B. Lewis, secretary; and Marjorie Williams, treasurer. Mr. Phelps and Miss Crawford were given the honor of advising us during that most enjoyable year. During our term as sophomores, our class gave more representatives to the school activities. We were represented in the operetta, theHi-Y play, the intellectual contests, and in the athletic activities of the school. Our only social function that year was a party which was held at the Franklin HoteL Approximately one hundred and forty-two stately juniors entered B. T. H. S. in 1933. Four boys were selected as our oflicers. They were: Walter Johnson, president; Willis Lewis, vice president; Vernon B. Lewis, secretary; and Thomas Young, treasurer. Again we selected Mr. Phelps and Miss Crawford as our class advisors. As juniors we found our undertakings more numerous and our success was almost complete. We found opportunities to serve our alma mater not only in athletic and intellectual undertakings, but we also helped in the Homecoming, the Hi-Y play, the operetta, the Hi-Tri and Hi-Y Banquets, the Prom and the Junior-Senior Reception, as well as numerous occasions. The reception which was given by the juniors to the seniors was one of the most beautiful social functionsever held in this high school. We also presented “Girl-Shy”, a comedy, in the gym. John Ohle had the leading part. In September 1934 we again entered the corridors of B T. H. S. We were glad to be back, but fearful that this last short year should pass too quickly. To begin our scholastic undertakings we selected Willis Lewis for our class president. He has been capably assisted by Charles Ketteman, vice president; Vernon B. Lewis, who is spending his third year as class secretary; and David Palmer, treasurer. Our class advisors this year have been Mr. Phelps, who for the third year is sponsoring our class, and Mr. George Moore, who for several years has been chosen to sponsor various senior classes. Many seniors received letters for football, and the football season was closed by a Homecoming Dance on Thanksgiving evening. At this time Mary Payne was crowned the B. T. H. S. Football Queen for 1934. Earl Cox, our football captain, w'as unable to play this year because of a fractured ankle received in practice during the summer. During the first semester we had a class party in the gym. Page Thirty-six Senior Class Roll Opal Abbott Marietta Adams Alfredu Larnfleld Norma Bearden Clara Bortoletto I .

T. H. S. in the fall of September, 1932. The first election was an eve”.f to be remembered, because it was, for the most of us, our first journey to the polls. Webb Taylor was the freshman class pres'dent during the school term, 1932-1933, and Doris Spani was the vice-president. Jane Treadwell and Charles Gower were the secretary and treasurer respectively. Miss Mary Huntington and Miss Lillian Arends were our sponsors. Approximately two hundred and forty “greenies” were in this class. Last September, with one school term to our credit, we chose as our advisors Miss Morrison and Miss Machiels. Webb Taylor was again elected president of the class, and the other officers were Ruth Claybourne vice-presient; Ruby Alice McConnel, secretary; and David Evans, treasurer. Uperclassmen at last! Really we are very “Jolly Juniors”, and we are proud that we have been able to raise money for the Senior’s Reception by the following two methods: l.The class of 1936 sold candy at the home basketball games, and 2 The Junior class presented the play, “For Pece’s Sake” before a capacity audience. Robert Smith, Ernest Payne-David Evans, and E. W. Simmons were the Junior officers. Miss Harriet Layman and Mr. Marion Moore have served as the sponsors, and to these loyal teachers the success of the Class of 1936 is due. We are eagerly awaiting our senior year that we may do everything in our power to make B. T. H. S. a better higher institution of learning.

SCARAB Athletics $ SCARAB ' J V Mr. Hubert Tabor will complete his thirteenth year as athletic director of B. T. H. S. at the end of the present school term. Tabor’s athletic teams have a percentage of near eighty in the number of games won and lost. This is probably the best record of any coach in the state whose teams play only the toughest competition to be found. Mr. Tabor has been ably assisted by assistant coaches Natho. who is also serving his thirteenth year at B. T. H. S., and Foulk, who is serving his fifth year at this high school. The Class of 1935 hopes that these coaches will have continued success in the future. SCARAB Page Sixty-seven Yell Leaders and Managers THE 1936 SCARAB McCleish O’Neill Hayes Holland Jenkins Page Sixty-eight THE Football 11 lilt 1936 SCARAB 1936 SCARAB Will H. Williams, was chosen as a halfback on the conference all-star second team this year. In addition to being a good ball carrier, Will was probably the best passer in the conference. He is a senior. Carl Little, acted as captain in most of the games this year and was undoubtedly the best scrapper on the team. Little is only a junior and was picked as an end on the conference all-star second team. Louis Malpoker, was the Ranger’s most consistent ground gainer this year. Unexcelled in fighting spirit, Louis played halfback and made the bigger part of the Rangers' touchdowns. He is a senior. David Palmer, acted as captain in a number of this year's games. David was a very good defensive player and was a hard fighter. He is a senior. Lyle Marshall, cannot be given too much praise. He was seen very little in a game, but his whole body and soul was in the midst of every pile-up. He is an excellent example of a “ true to the school, coach, and to the team” athlete. Lyle is a senior. Bob Smith, played in the backfield this year. As he is only a junior, he should capably fill the position of quarterback on next year’s eleven. Charles Ketteman, played in practically all of the Rames this year at end. Charles was quick to go down under punts and proved to be very costly on the receiving end of passes. He will be lost through graduation. Page Seventy William Noel, was a tackle on this season’s squad and took part in a number of the games. Bill was a hard fighter and will be lost through graduation this spring. Stanley Macieiski, was a small player, but every ounce of his body was full of fight and every inch as tough as leather. Stanley was quick in his actions and therefore, a good ball carrier. He is a senior. 1986 Evan Lockwood, came into prominence this year as a tackier. Aside from this, his punting on Turkey Day was the best that was done by either the Rangers or their opponents all year. As Evan is but a junior, he can be counted upon to fill a position at end and to do the punting for the Tabormen next season. John Neal, came to the Rangers this year from Logan and proved to be a capable football player. Neal is big and is very valuable in the line. As he is only a junior, he should be a stronghold on next year’s squad. Bill Loman, played in the line this year where he took a lot of punishment. Bill is only a junior and because of his enormity of size should be a big help toward strengthening next year’s eleven. Gene Alexander, is a junior and on account of his height should prove very valuable at end next year. Carl Finney, was also a lineman on this year’s team and was a good scrapper. Carl was most outstanding on the defensive side of playing. He will be back next year. SCARAB Page Seventy-one THE 1936 SCARAB Manis Livesay B. Rice Hall C. Rice Clark Cosgrove Roy Mania, held the position of center in the majority of the games this year. As he is but a sophomore and because of his physical make-up, he should be a mainstay in next year’s line. Harry Livesay, was probably the Ranger’s best end this year and was a scrapper 10 the end; he proved very valuable on defense. Harry broke his ankle about the miodle of the season and was unable to play from then on. Harry is a senior. Bill Rice, was the lightest player on the team this year but was certainly a flash. Bill is a wonderful ball carrier, and it was he who left West Frankfort standing in tl.tir tracks on Thanksgiving Day. Bill is a junior and should provide plenty of thrills on next year’s eleven. Leon Hall, was also injured during the first part of the year and saw no more service the remainder of the season. Leon is probably the fastest p ayer on the team and is an excellent ball carrier. As he is but a sophomore, he should prove his metal in the backfield next year. Clifford Rice, saw service in a number of games this year as a reserve center. “Chubby” is only a freshman and with three more years to go, he should develop into a splendid player. Francis Clark, probably has more driving power behind him than any player on the field. As ha ha one nv re year of compaction, Clark siould be a priceless mainstay in the Ranger backfield next year. James Cosgrove, played guard on this year’s team, and as he isof great size and but a sophomore should prove to be valuable on the squad next year.

Although playing scoreless ties with three of their opponents, the Nathomen won their other three games, ending the season with no losses. With such a remarkable group of players to pick from, many valuables should be found on this strong lightweight squad who can be moved to the varsity ranks and there help produce winning heavyweight aggregations in the future years. These boys are the more experienced ones who are hardly good enough for the heavyweight squad. Coach Natho is their pilot. The less experienced boys under the pilotship of Coach Foulk, although losing three games in the earlier part of the season, had an excellent aggregation at the end of the year and could give any team a good “run for its money’’. Approximately thirty boys played on this “Green Squad,’’ as it was called. Frequently, one ot more of these boys would be transferred to play on Coach Natho’s lightweight team. 198U Green Squad Schedule IS81 Lightweight Schedule Benton 0 Zeigler 14 Benton 0 Marion 0 Benton 6 Mt.

Wolfinbarger, the Lions’ fullback, made a 50-yard run in the second quarter which accounted for the only touchdown of the game. Benton 18—Centralia 6 Avenging their 2-0 defeat at Centralia last year, the Tabor-coached eleven defeated the Troutmen by the decisive score of 18-6. In the second quarter Malpocker, Ranger halfback, plunged through the line on three different occasions to tally for Benton. 1935 Benton 20—Herrin 0 Duplicating their performance against Centralia, the Reds whitewashed the Herrin eleven 20-0. “Willie” Williams scored twice for Benton on end runs, and Manis intercepted a Herrin pass and raced for the other touchdown. Malpocker, the Rangers’ most consistent ground gainer in every game, twice plunged through the line for the extra {joints. Benton 18—Murphysboro 43 Being behind 24-0 at the half-time period, the Tabormen, tossing one pass after another, managed to pile up 18 points in the third quarter on touchdowns by Malpoker and Ketteman, the former scoring twice. However, in the last quarter Murphysboro again went on a scoring spree and the game finally ended 43-18 in favor of the Red Devils. This was the worst defeat the Rangers had suffered in many years. SCARAB Page Seventy-five THE 1936 I | l i SCARAB Benton G—Mt. Vernon 26 Still playing in a “slump”, the Reds next fell prey to their northern neighbors, Mt. Vernon, by the score of 26-0. The Blackshirts’ strong aerial attack proved too much for the Tabormen, as the Hallmen gained 146 yards by passing and scored three of their four touchdowns in this way. Benton 7—Harrisburg 6 After scoring on a 40-yard pass from Williams to Palmer in the first stanza, the Rangers had their hands full the rest of the game in keeping the Bull-Dogs from pushing over touchdowns on several occasions. This victory made the Rangers’ count read two won and two lost for the year. Benton 0—Eldorado 12 Playing a team outweighing them several pounds per man, the Rangers lost a hard fought game to the Eldorado team by a score of 12-0. The entire game was played in a steady downpour of rain and in a field of clay mud and water six inches deep. The outstanding feature of the game was the excellent ball-carrying of Bill Rice. The Rangers outplayed Eldorado but were unable to score when near the goal line Benton 6—West Frankfort 0 Ending their football season with the annual Thanksgiving Day classic with their old rivals, the W. Frankfort Red Birds, the Red Rangers made a rather poor season end splendidly by downing the Johnstonmen by a score of 6-0. Bill Rice again furnished all of the excitement and thrills by his long runs around the ends. The lone touchdown of the gamecamein the last stanza as a result of a completed pass from Williams to Little. Thirty yards was at near as the Red 8irds ever c inn to scoring against the Rangers in this contest. Page Seventy-six Basketball THE 1M6 SCARAB THE i 1986 li SCARAB Doty Alexxnder Thomas Hall Lockwood Alfred Doty, came to B. T. H. S. this year from Ewing and was captain of the Ranger basketball team this season. Doty led the Tabormen in scoring and was chosen as center on the conference all-star second team. Alfred was an excellent guard and a very good shot. His loss to the team through graduation will be a great one. Gene Alexander, saw service as a guard this season, and because of his steadily increasing improvement as a p ayer, Gene should be a big help toward strengthening next year’s team. He has one more year of competition. George Thomas, was the only freshman on the squad this year. George is a good dribbler, very active, and is a dead-eye under the basket. Leon Hall, was a forward on the team this year. Leon is an excellent guard and along with his speed he is a good dribbler. Hall is also a very good long shot specialist. He is a sophomore. Evan Lockwood, saw service on the second team this year. He has a good eye for the basket and is a fairly good defensive player. Evan is a junior. Fage Seventy-eight Noel Neal Munday Davis Lewis William Noel, was a reserve on this year’s squad. Bill was a hard scrapper and an excellent guard. He is a senior. John Neal, was a regular on the Ranger team this year, as well as being captain of the Logan Branch team. Being left-handed. John had a lot of deception and was a high scorer in most all of the games. John is only a junior and should, therefore, be a very valuable player on next year's team. Robert Munday, played as guard on the Ranger five this season and was captain when Doty was unable to play. Munday’s outstanding characteristic was his deception. Robert was a good guard and a good 6corer. As he is but a junior he should be a big help toward making the team more successful next year. Clark Davis, saw service this year as a guard. Davis was an accurate shot and a good defensive man. This was his first year in the varsity ranks. Clark will be graduated this spring. Vernon B. Lewis, played forward this year and last. Lewis had a good eye for the basket and stood near the top in the number of points scored. He is a senior. THE 1936 I in SCARAB Page Seventy-nine THE 1936 SCARAB Frailey Pyle Rice Payne Munis Kenneth Frailey, saw service mostly as center on the second team and as a reserve on the first five. Because of his height, Kenneth was most valuable under the basket. He is the last of the five seniors who played on this year’s team. Carl Pyle, saw little service as a regular this year but was a big factor on the second team. Carl is a good shot, as well as being a good defensive p'ayer. He is a junior this year. Bill Rice, played as a reserve forward on the first team this year. Being handicapped in height, Bill makes up for this in speed and accurate shooting. As Rice is only a junior he should furnish plenty of competition in fighting for a first team berth next season. Ernest Payne, was a mainstay on the second team and proved very valuable as a guard and a point-maker. Ernest is only a junior and will undoubtedly make someone step next year in trying for a regular position. Roy Manis, played at forward and center this year and was most valuable on the pivot. Roy is only a sophomore and with two more years to play, he should develop into a wonderful player. Page Eighty 1934-35 Basketball Squad First Row: Rice, Lewis, Munday, Capt.

Doty, acting as captain for the Tabormen, accounted for 12 points. The Hamilton County team from McLeansboro next visited the Taboimen and the latter again won, this time by the score of 35-18. Hampton was high point man in this encounter with 14 points. With two victories already to their credit, the Rangers next journeyed to Evansville, Indiana and there met defeat at the hands of the “rough and ready” Reitzmen by the score of 25-18, with Doty leading the scoring for the Reds with 8 points. Opening their conference race at home, the Reds lost a very close contest to the Marion five by the count of 22-20, and again Doty was high scorer with 10 points. This was the first home game the Tabormen had lost since January 30. 1932, when Johnston City defeated them 18-11. Following this defeat Harrisburg next won their first basketball game from Benton since competition had been begun between these two schools. The score was 39-23, with captain Doty making 12 of Benton’s points. Johnston City found the Rangers an easy mark this year and trounced on them in their first meeting by a score of 35-19. During Christmas vacation the Red Rangers attended the annual Pontiac invitational tournament, and in their first game they won from Dwight, 27-26. Meeting Quincy, defender of the State basketball championship, in the next battle, t- e Reds lost a hard foughtgame by a score of 29-20, eliminating them from the tourney. On coming back to home territory, the Tabormen beat Carterville in an overtime period by the decisive score of 33-27. This was the first conference victory of the season for the Tabor-coached crew. Although Munday was high point man with 9 points, Bill Rice sank three timely long shots in the last quarter and overtime period to put the game on ice for the Reds. Taking a short trip to West Frankfort for the next contest, the Rangers surprised the entire basketball world by downing their old rivals by the score of 24-19. Doly was in perfect form and tallied exactly half of Benton’s points. The Murphysboro five whipped the Reds in their next encounter by the count of 26-19. Taking a trip to Zeigler, the Rangers trounced the Purple Tornadoes, who were leading the Little Egyptian race, by the score of 27-19. Hall and Doty took scoring honors for this game with 9 and 8 points respectively With Doty in perfect form, the Bentonites whipped coach Jack’s crew from Herrin by the count of 33-27. Doty made 17 points. Eldorado handed Benton the worst defeat of all time on the former’s floor, 52-20. In a non-conference tilt with the Mt. Vernon Blackshirts, the Reds were again walked on, 30-24. Page Eighty-two Disregarding the fact that they were playing in a slump, the Tabormen again proved their jinx over West Frankfort by beating the Red Birds 24-13. Accounting for 9 points, captain Doty led his teammates to a second victory over Frankfort. Making it two in a row, the Reds took a close game from Murphysboro, 22-21, with Hall making 10 points. Again weakening, the Bentonites lost to the Johnston City Indians by the same score by which they had won from Murphysboro the night before, 22-21. Marion next downed the Rangers, 29-15. Doty’s 6 points were enough to enable him to be high point man for the Tabor-coached five. Eldorado’s next victory over the Red Rangers proved less humiliating than the first; this time the score was 29-26. Benton led all through the game until the last stanza when Eldorado overcame the 20-17 lead against them and finally beat the Benton crew by a three point margin. The Tabormen brought home the bacon for a change when they went to Herrin and defeated the Tigers 42-20. Neal scored 16 points and Hall accounted for 11. Zeigler fell before the Rangers for the second time, 32-11. Munday made 10 points. Mt. Vernon romped over the Reds to the tune of 42-26. Neal chalked up 10 points for Benton. In the last home game of the year the Rangers made a very poor showing against the Harrisburg Bull-Dogs and lost by a score of 30-14. The Rangers ended their basketball schedule by dropping a hard fought game to the Carterville Lions by the count of 29-28. Lewis accounted for 13 of the Rangers’ points. The Tabormen lastly entered the district tournament at West Frankfort and won their first game from Sesser by a 51-23 count. In the semi-finals the Reds lost to the strong Christopher five, 32-24. In a play-off for third place the Red Rangers defeated the Zeigler aggregation for the third time of the season by the decisive count of 30-19. Final Cotiference Standing Team Won Lost Pet.

It is on some league team that Coach Tabor frequently finds a capable player who might not have been discovered had he not been seen in action in league games. Approximately one hundred and forty boys took part in league play this year. There were two separate leagues organized this year—Dirt Court and Hard Wood-each league consisting of 10 teams composed of 7 players each. Each of these 10 teams was allowed to play every team in its own league one time. After this had been done, an elimination tournament for the school championship was held. In this tourney Frailey’s strong team, which had been the Dirt Conrt league winner with 9 victories and no losses, duplicated its performance in the tournament and easily won the school championship trophy. In the final game of the tourney Frailey, Bass, and Miller proved to be a perfect scoring combination and as a result, Ohle’s five fell before their heavy bombardment by a score of 42-21.

WittenDourne, Buford, Hamilton, Bradford Second Row: Harriet Layman, Gostowski, Cook, Sneed, Lewis, Hudelson On February 28 the Junior Class presented athree-aci farce For Pete’s Sake.” The scene was laid in the living room of the Pepperdine mansion on an afternoon in June. The hero, Peter Pepperdine, has all the qualifications necessary to fit him for a magnificent liar. When his exasperated aunt, Miss Sarah Pepperdine, in an effort 10 discipline him for poor scholarship, starts on a summer tour of Palestine without him, he rents her mansion to Mrs. Georgiana Clarkston, Miss Sarah’s dearest enemy and the mother of his sweetheart, Nadine. In an effort to carry out his plans, Peter masquerades as the butler of the Pepperdine home, disguises his pal Bill as the gardener, and forces Muggsy, the despised college grind, who is supposed to tutor him in Latin all summer, to pose as the housemaid. The purpose of all this mad scheming is not only to provide Peter and Bill with ready cash, but also to enable th m to discover whether or not their respective ladyloves are flirting with Banker Boliver and the poet. Dupont Darby. The boys soon upset the martial aspirations of the older and wealthier suitors, especially after forcing Muggsy to vamp them in his housemaid's disguise. Aunt Sarah defeats the plans of her nephew by suddenly canceling her passage and returning home. Once again, Peter manages to save himself by quick thinking and masterly lying, invoking the aid of a ghost and some fictitious robbers to cover up his tracks.

Page One hundred-fourteen Page One hundred-fifteen Excerpts from A 19J+5 Diary THE 1936 SCARAB April 29, 1945 Dear Diary, 1 got to the office early this A.M. and saw the new janitor cleaning out I was more than surprised when I found out that he was none other than Willard Hayes. He leaned upon his broom and talked tome along time. He seems to be working awfully hard to support his wife, Elva Bundy Hayes, and all the little Bundy-Hayeses. So much news came in today and 1 got so many surprises that 1 hardly know what to do. We received a message from our London correspondent, Gene Harten, telling us of Norma Bearden’s popularity as a comedian. Poor girl, she wasn’t appreciated here in good old U. S. A. He also added a post script telling of the scandal of Clark Davis, our Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. He is in some sort of a mix-up with one of King George’s granddaughters or some royal damsel. Our Washington D.C. correspondent, David Palmer, who has always wanted a political career, telegraphed about our Congresswoman, Irene Biehl. (Yes, I used to know her, but then she was just “Ikey”. However, I have never found out why she and Oswald Sanders broke off their engagement just a week before the wedding. It appears that she had her heart set on a political career, and just couldn’t give it up.) She is breaking all the filibustering records, and has been talking for twelve days and is as fresh as a daisy. Evan Pickard came into the office to bring some of the prize tomatoes which he grew on his farm out by Akin. Since he and Mary Kmetz were married three years ago, he seems contented out on his farm, and since she has been the Akin post mistress for the past five years they have no financial worries at all. At noon as I was walking down to the De Luxe Cafe I met Mary Alice McGuire. She was selling tickets to a Woman’s Club play. Edith Prince wrote the play, The Wrong Number”, and Charles Hayse and Minnie Payne have the leading parts. There was a big crowd at the De Luxe. Millie Trefny, who keeps the check room, has been finding all the time she needs to write songs these warm days. It seems that she used up all the paper napkins for her songs, so now she has to furnish her own paper to keep her jjb ani t keip from bankrupting the Cafe. As I went by she whispered that Kenneth Shaw, the new manager, was in a rage. It seems that Clifton, the cashier, walked out with some money last night. (I wonder if his penny-flipping days at B. T. H. S. have influenced his life any?) However, he brought the money back this morning—that is, all that he didn’t spend last night on Leora Smith. Since she has come back from Hollywood where she starred in Harry Gant’s latest screen sensation, Laurita Lowe”, Clifton has been spending all of his time on her door step. I spent a quiet time at home this evening listening to Virginia Drennan in her Advice to the Love Lorn” over station WEBQ. Tonight she had a letter from Charlotte Young, asking for some immediate aid. Poor Charlotte! Roy Webb had even promised to give her a deed to his farm for a wedding gift, and then he tumbled for Mildred Denbo, that devastating little vamp from Ewing. Virginia was awfully kind to Charlotte and advised her to enter a convent to heal her broken heart. She even went so far as to suggest that Charlotte enter the Primrose Convent” which Ida King founded at Ina when Alfred Doty was arrested in Champaign at the last State Tourney. Alfred, who is coaching at West City, tried to let Lloyd Cull play on his team, and the officials discovered that Lloyd was too old to play just as West City was winning a hard battle from the Urbana High School, where Kenneth Frailey is coaching and teaching American Literature to the seniors. May 31, 1945 Dear Diary, just ten years ago we were graduating from high school! That certainly seems ages ago. I attended the graduation exersises in the new B. T. H. S. Auditorium. Rev. James Todd delivered the address and Walter Newsome, the President of the School Board, presented the diplomas. Page One hundred-fifteen June 1, 1945 Diary. June, the month of weddings, and the brides are already appearing. The first wedding of this season was a most impressive affair. The bride, Emma Nell Glover, was dressed in a beautiful Parisian gown, designed in our own city by our foremost designer, Katherine Hennessy. Numa Wingo and Opal Abbott were her attendants, and they, too, were dressed in grand style. And the groom was-----oh, I can’t even remember his name, but he was a handsome fellow. I had a card from Euleva Capps today. She is in Ewing for her health. The poor girl, she had insomnia for about a month, and since she reached her destination two days ago, she hasn’t been bothered with her ailment. Gee, I hope she is thoroughly cured. June 19, 1945 Dear Diary, today news reports came in from all parts of the world about the Olympic games which are being held in the leading nations. Thelma Pearce won the girls’ wrestling title in Cairo, Egypt, and is now on her way home to display her trophy to her friends. Ju'ia Zicker gained fame for her fencing ability in London, where she clashed swords with w .-iJ fam J5 people The Pr nee of Wales was attracted by her ability and challenged her to a duel. This will be fought in Madision Square garden sometime soon, for she refuses to stay in England any longer, and Guy Wilcox, the New York City mayor, thinks this will be a gr.-at attraction which will draw thousands to his city. Then, too, Joe Hornnk set a new running record in South Africa. He was last in the race but he soon found himself being pursuid by some cannibals. It was’nt long, needless tosay. oefore Joe was at the head of the race breaking all records. Meredith Richardson, who is n .v the dictator of Sojt i Africa, crowned him with laurels for winning the race for good old U. S. A. Meredith, “The Iron Ruler’’, is really homesick but since hecannot leave his diamond mines and come- home to spend some of his countless billions, he is just a “poor little rich boy.” I .ax Jones, over in China, won second in an archery contest. Max had practiced until he was almost as good as Cupid, but he became excited by a Chinese princess, who turned out to bj Baroara DeWitt. one of our missionaries over th� re in disguise. She promised to scratch his eyes out if he surpassed her Chinese lover in the contest, so what could Max do under the circumstances but let the Chinaman win? Lucy Nell Daily, who is a teacher in Alaska, came out of her seclusion long enough to win the svi n n.ng race across the Boring strait. She competed with five Eskimoes and one Indian for the honor June 25, 1945 Dear Diary, I stopped at the library this evening and Helen Ferrell, the librarian, advised me to read a new bo k which they received only a few days ago. This book “American Literature”, was written by Homer Moore, Professor of English at the Ewing College. 1 found in this book many poems by Joe Hickman. These poems were almost identical with those of Whitman and Sandburg, but they were altogether delightful, for many of them were about persons and places near our own city. This book also contained several short stories by Evelyn Hayse. Although I read the manuscript of all of them before they were published, I read them again with keen interest for they were such amusing and entertaining things without a hint of a lesson in them. There were also numerous essays by Paul Harrelson on political and economic questions which I scanned hurriedly as I went through the book. I also found countless sonnets by Helen Richardson in this book. July 1, 1945 Dear Diary, I’m so glad! My vacation started today and to make it better, i’ts a vacation with pay. I left Rend City this morning in a rocket ship and came to St. Louis, but I didn’t get to see any of the scenery so I have decided to travel by some other means for the rest of my journey. However, on the ship I met Kathryn Hayse, who is now a criminal lawyer in Chicago. She is now on her way to Reno to appear in the divorce court tomorrow morning to help one of her clients get a divorce. She told me that she had seen the opera, “The Purple Mist”, in which Evelyn Johnson had the leading part. This opera THE 1936 SCARAB Page One hundred-seventeen is considered one of the best ever written. She also told me that Lyle Marshall had been given great honors for rounding up a band of Chicago gangsters. At the airport I took a taxi to the Hotel Lincoln where I am now staying. The taxi driver was Stewart Shive. He has worked his way up from taxi driver to the owner of the line, but drives the taxi as a hobby. The clerk in the hotel was Violet Walker. She told me that Ella Hornak has a similar position in Detroit. She also said that her brother, Vernard Walker, was a captain on one of the new U. S. ships which is searching for lost treasures in the Indian ocean. Robert Wyatt and Harlie Smith are also on this trip. They will do all the diving for the lost treasure and are expected to get a large share of the booty. I saw Violet Mick in the dining hall. She is married to a Florida millionaire but doesn’t like the southern clime in the summer, so she is going to Minnesota. She is going to spend her summer at Flossie Warren’s summer resort. During the evening I went for a walk in the near-by park and saw a big policeman patrolling the paths upon a fiery steed. When I looked closer, I saw that this big arm of the law was none other than Leroy Williams. However, he soon lost all of his severe manner when he saw a dainty little maiden com:ng down the path. I recognized her as June Neunlist. I intended to speak to her but Leroy was off his horse in a minute and they were talking so intently that I did the great disappearing act. At the corner drug store where I stopped for a drink, Eugene Spani was jerking the sodas. July 4, 1945 Dear Diary, I spent this most important day in Denver, Colorado, where a big celebration was given. The meeting was held in the Ohle Hall, a most magnificent building which was built in honor of the present Denver mayor. Mr. Ohle was the master of ceremonies. Nick Stewart, leader of the Colorado State Prison band and also a guard at the prison, and his band gave a most enjoyable concert. Then Mable McDonald, presidentof the Denver Business and Professional Women’s Club, gave a talk on the Liberty Bell. July 7, 1945 Dear Diary, I went to the Grand Canyon today. After inquiring for a guide, I found myself being led down the trails by Bill Williams. He has been at the canyon for four years and he thinks he will find a gold mine sometime. Everett Taake has been a guide there, too, but I he place got too monotonous so he had gone to the wild and wooly mountains to prospect for gold. Evelyn Taake, he said, was in Paris studying ari. At the bottom of the canyon I found quite a colony of tourists. Alliegene Hungate, Lucille Hatchett and Lucille Hamilton were in a secluded spot cooking over a can.p fire and discussing the chance for war with someone. It doesn’t matter who we fight but they want a war so they can get a position, yes. they are three Red Cicss nurses. In the hotel I saw Clara Bortoletto, but I didn’t ta k long to her, for she was tired out after her mountain climb with Bill Taylor who is a guide at the resort during the summer; and who still goes to school in the winter. July 9, 1916 Arrived in Reno this A. M. and went down to the divorce forum to listen in and see if I could pick up any news of any of my former class mates. Judge Willis Lewis was on the bench untying the knots which had not been tied securely. The first ordeal of the day was when Judge Lewis loosened the bind between Helen Britton and Vernon B. Lewis. Helen brought suit and charged Vernon with cruelty. He didn’t deny the charges so she got her divorce. Rumor hath it toat Vernon is going back to an old flame in Benton and try his luck again. It seems that business is very prosperous in Reno and I found John Pope running a wrecking station and car shop. I hardly recognized him in his greasy overalls. Lola Mae Seeber is the hostess at the hotel where I stopped and she told me that Marietta Adams was giving diving lessons at the Great Salt Latce and that Mona Lee Keaton and Rosanna Smith are two of her m st a-dent students. She also told me that Alfreda Barnfield is giving skiing lessons in the Rockies. Sne has been the iustructor of such great ski artists as Verla Walker and Beulah Midyett.

Lafayette, Jacksonville, Illinois Official Jewelers To Class Of 1935, Benton Township High School Page One hundred-twenty-flve Prophecy (Continued from page One Hundred-eighteen) August 1, 19-16 I visited a health resort in the mountains. Sylvia Fitzpatrick is the head nurse and I found Mary Payne suffering from a fractured ankle which she received when Woodrow Rhodes, one of her recently rejected admirers, pushed her over a cliff. Elso Giovale is also a patient at the resort. He recently suffered a nervous breakdown at his home in Washington and was rushed to the resort to recover. Louis Malpokeris the right hand man around there. The jazz band which is employed to keep the resort from being too quiet, was lead by Harry Dale Livesay. Robert E. Lee was at the piano tickling the ivories, and Sophia Ross was exercising her arms with the aid of a trombone. Tony Ruchlewicz played the drums, and a soft tone was added to the music by Jane Batt’s fiddle. Then to make the music complete, Ed Hill King was giving forth a medley of vocal sounds. The band made so much noise that at nine o’clock, Will Holland Williams, the justice of the peace at a little town across the canyon, came over on his pony to tell us that the peace of the town was being disturbed. Accordingly, he arrested all the players and led them across the valley to his little log jail. Here Frank Czenski, the jailor, was aroused from his bed and made to lock up the disturbers. The next morning the band was released and Earl Cox, their publicity agent, whisked them away. August 6, 1946 I sought a cool spot in the mountains to escape the heat of the sun this A. M. and had spent about ten minutes reading a new book, “Then It Happened”, by Jane Kirkpatrick, when I was approached by an artist whom I recognized as Estaleda Bolen. She is painting pictures to adorn the walls of Charles Snitchler’s new home in Macedonia We talked a while and she told me that she had just finished painting a portrait of Eleanor Stilley, who is famous for her dancing solos over the radio. August 7, 19-15 Dear Diary, I went to Los Angeles today and as I boarded a street car I noticed that the conductor was Walter Johnson in person. He told me that he had tried his luck in Hollywood, but the social life had been too much for him so he had started to work in earnest. He also told me that James O’Neill had just signed a contract to some stunt flying for one of the largest studios in Hollywood. When I left the car, a big policeman, Virgil Neal, directed me across the street where I entered a department store. There, Stanley Macieiski, the floor walker, directed me to the glove counter where I found Lorene Hobbs. She told me that Frederick Bauer and Charles Ketteman, who had been in the Navy for two years, were in town for a few days, and she said that Geneva Sullivan was a hostess in a Los Angeles h tel. I also saw Leola Brown in the store. She invited me to go down to the beach to see her yacht, so I went with her. It was not necessary for her to introduce me to her secretary for I recognized her immediately as Helen Sears, and I found that John Niznanski was the captain of the yacht. Then we drove down the beach in Leola’s new limousine. William Noel, her chauffeur, pointed out all the places of interest to us. We saw Theresa DeMattei’s literary colony where Gladys Pinkston is in the process of writing a histosy of Franklin County. Ruby Wiehn is also at the colony writing a group of satirical poems on love. Then, too, Lester Werheim is there collecting material for a mystery play in which Curtis Spencer has the lead, ing part. When we returned to the city, I visited Jane Ward’s beauty shoppe, but since she wasn’t there, her assistant, Denzell Stewart, gave me a darling finger wave. She was also electioneering for Lyman Robertson, who is running for the mayorship of Los Angeles. She told me also that Herschel Jenkins was elected to Congress from Oregon last week when they recalled their Congressman. August 11, 1945 Dear Diary, I rode through Death Valley today, and heard some one singing “Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie”. The voice sounded familiar and upon investigation I found Frank Coleman in a cowboy suit rounding up a herd of cattle. He is foreman on Delbert Kaemper’s ranch and he said that Katherine Midyett was on a neighboring ranch working as a secretary. He also told me that Charlie Smith and Muriel Johnson are prospecting for gold in the mountains. Emma Feurer Pnge One Hundred twenty-six 1936 | | SCARAB Come Up'n See Us Sometime Home Furniture Co.
