Coach Carson undertook to build the Trojan machine from an inexperienced group of boys, but soon produced a powerful team. Of the fifty-five boys who reported for practice, four were lettermen, namely, Huddleston, McNutt, Miller and Rauch. The backfield was built around Miller and Rauch, while the line was mainly inexperienced players. The Trojans won five games, lost two and tied two.

S., 0 The Charleston Carsonmen played their opening game of the season against Urbana, holding them to a scoreless tie. It was the initial game of the season for both teams. The Trojans exhibited some good football play against the opponents and made four first downs to Urbana's five, completed three out of eight passes and intercepted two, while Urbana completed four passes out of nine and intercepted one. Martinsville, 6 C. H. S., 18 The Martinsville Blue Streaks fell before the onslaught of the Trojans, giving them their first win of the season. The Trojans displayed a Very poor brand of football but succeeded in crashing through. Touchdowns were made by Rauch, Miller and Knauss, but the attempts for extra points failed. Charles- ton made four first downs to lVlartinsville's ten, which pictures the type of game played by the locals. Caseys, 6 C. H. S., 34 The Charleston gridders trimmed Casey by a 34-6 count. Casey was held scoreless until late in the fourth canto. Charleston tallied nine first downs to Casey's four. Four out of fourteen passes were completed, two intercepted and eight incomplete. Casey completed two out of eight. Two touchdowns were made by Rauch and one by Cossins, Knauss and Miller. Four extra points were made. Mattoon, 19 C. H. S., 0 The Trojans' winning streak was ended by Mattoon in the first night game of the season. The first goal was made in the first quarter when a fumble was recovered by Mattoon. In the third quarter another fumble resulted in a second touchdown followed by an extra point. A pass was snagged by the West-siders in the last quarter and the ball was carried across our goal line for the third time and the game ended 19-0. t . Paris, 0 C. H. S., 52 Striving to redeem themselves after the walloping received from Mattoon, the Trojans came back and defeated Paris by an enormous score of 52-0. Three touchdowns were scored in both the first and second quarters of the game. Four out of eight extra points were made. Decatur, 6 C. H. S., 7 The Carsonmen toured to Decatur to get another taste of Big Twelve com- petition and added another victory to their list. Trailing in the third quarter by a 6-0 score, the Trojans broke loose with a G'Hee-flicker pass from Rauch to Cossins to Miller and made 83 yards to the goal line. Rauch kicked the extra point, making the score 7-6. G 0 H 0 S o Twenty-four I935 ........ THE RECORDER Marshall, 14 C. H. S., 0 The Carsonmen showed their poorest form of the season against the Marshall Lions and were defeated by 14 points. Not one pass was completed by the Trojans during the entire game and they lacked the punch and drive exhibited in former games. T. C., 0 C. H. S., 53 Our uSouth Side Rivals were trounced by the Carson Trojans by a 53-0 score. A touchdown off the kick-off started the scoring spree of the game. The Trojan Reserves had an opportunity to test their strength against the op- ponent and defended our goal until the game ended. Touchdowns were made by Rauch, Miller, Baker, Cossins and Knauss. Five out of six extra points were made. Oblong, 6 C. H. S., 6 Battling for E. 1. League honors, the Trojans fought the Oblong Panthers to a 6-6 tie in the last game of the season. Both teams secured their touchdowns in the third quarter and both failed to add the extra point. After completing several passes, Miller contributed the touchdown.

The game was rough and unpolished on the part of the Trojans. After losing two of the tallest men on personals, the Trojans lost a thrilling battle to Kansas in the last seconds of play by a 24 to 23 count. For the first time in several years the Mattoon five defeated the locals 24-19. Personals again accounted for the loss. -Rallying in the last half, the Carsonmen defeated the Marshall Lions by an uncomfortably close score of 22 to 21. The Trojan cagers walloped T. C. in a runaway style, 36 to 6. Little oppo- sition was presented by the opponents. The Alumni invaded the Trojan ranks and defeated them by a count of 26 to 18. The Trojans trailed the Grads more than half the game. Coming back to avenge the upset given in football, the Decatur Reds took a game from our quintet, the score being 27 to 13. The Trojan offense and defense was weak. Toledo fwhitel Ohio and C. H. S. clashed together in a thrilling game which resulted in a loss for the Ohio Buckeyes by a score of 23 to 21. The Trojans displayed a fine brand of ball. Fighting hard throughout the game, the Trojans climbed to the top and defeated Greenup 21-18. The Trojans lost to the Oblong Panthers 20-17 in a close and exciting game. Play was polished on both teams. Trailing the Carson thin-clads nearly the entire game, the Decatur Reds staged a last minute rally and came out on top by a 27 to 23 score. Regardless of the less impressive ball displayed, the Trojans trounced the Paris Tigers by a resounding score of 35 to 18. Using the reserves the latter half of the game, the Trojans defeated Casey by an overwhelming score of 27 to 9. Confident of winning over Casey in the first game of the E. I. League Tourney, the Trojans were badly jolted when defeated by a score of 27 to 18. Although playing with more vim and vigor, the Paris Tigers lost their second game to C. H. S. 33 to 18 after leading the locals a full half. Scoring 11 points to Fai.rfield's 3 in the last half of the game resulted in a score of 23 to 23 and both teams entered an overtime period. A free throw by a Fairfield lad in the last few seconds of play resulted in a score of 24 to 23. In a unip and tuck last half the Carsonmen finally won from Marshall by a score of 20 to 19, making the second win of the season over the Tigers. Fighting desperately to overwhelm the unorthsidersn the T. C. five gave up to a loss of 34 to 25. Avenging a one point defeat handed to the Trojans at the first of the season, the locals gave Kansas their first defeat, the score being 26 to 20. The Trojans lost their second game of the season to Mattoon 30 to 27. Rallying too late in the second half to overcome a 27 to 17 lead, the Trojans wound up three points short of their aim. Fighting to the last minute of play, the Greenup quintet sought to 'fbreak even with the Trojans, but it was of no avail. However, they made it un- comfortable for the locals, the game ending 25 to 24. In the first game of the District Tourney C. H. S. lost to Neoga by a score of 25 to 23. .-.l.......i....C.H.S...-........1...... Twen ty- eight I935 ....... THE RECORDER Trojan Track Team The motto of the 1935 track team might well have been uMy kingdom for a horse, for, despite the urging of Coach Carson, few boys went out for track. lneligibilities also contributed much to the Mslumpn. The entire squad, with few exceptions, were inexperienced track men. Coach Carson gave the boys a tryout against a few teams at Mattoon by enter- ing them in the mile relay. Charleston placed fifth, which was two points better than that of last year. At the Intramural Track and Field Meet the Seniors were triumphant, scoring 60 points. The Juniors scored 20, the Sophomores 22, and the Freshies 7. The team will enter the District and the E. I. League contests, and we have high hopes for their taking top honors. Miller, a pole vaulter, is the only real veteran on the team, and should do well in the Meet. Baker, who surprised everyone by throwing the javelin 138 feet in the Intramural, Cossins, running the mile, Ward and Queary, competing in the 440 yard relay, and McClure, who will enter in the broad jump, are the most outstanding members of the tealn, while Anderson, McMorris, Henry, and Hutton certainly deserve recog- muon.

This year Edward Miller and Victor Curtis, both Seniors, were chosen for this honor. Miller, Trojan quarterback, won the football plaque, while Curtis, guard, received the basketball sports cup. Miller is one of the most outstanding athletes C. H. S. has produced in recent years, receiving a letter in football, basketball, and track every year of his high school career. Besides being popular on the athletic field, Ed has always been a favorite in all of his classes with both teachers and students, and everyone approved of his being chosen as the winner of the plaque. Miller is the seventh person to win this plaque. Curtis was a diligent worker, never complained, and made the first team in his Senior year. Although not an outstanding player, he was a valuable asset to the team and was popular with both fans and the squad. Curtis is well qualified to receive the sportsmanship trophy and his selection for the honor was a wise one. ...1...-..........1.. C. H. S.i...1....1,.,,,... Thirly I935 ........

The aim of the Club is to stimulate interest in sports and physical training, and the sponsor, Miss Van Meter, has largely succeeded in creating this interest. Since this Club has been organized into a state organization, much has been accomplished. The girls are required to keep health rules for sixteen weeks of each semester. Our major activity for the year has been basketball, and many of the girls have been proving themselves real aces at the game. For extra credit, the girls roller skate, hike, bowl, and 111any other things. doors when the weather permits. A group of the girls have organized baseball teams and are practicing out of j6 . ri With new members entering high school each year the Charleston HWY G. A.

Music Club The Music Club is a new, honorary organization of Charleston High School, made up of upper-classmen who have had experience in either the glee club, band, or orchestra. It was first organized in the latter part of the first semester and has since proved to be a very popular activity. There are twenty-eight persons enrolled as charter members. Meetings are held in the music building every other Week, The programs are usually given by the members of the club or other persons of Charleston. At one of the meetings Mr. Weckel gave several violin solos which were enjoyed very much by the group. The purpose of the club is two-fold: First, to give the members experience in performing before an audienceg second, to give the members a greater appre- ciation for good music. Several trips have been taken to nearby cities to hear special musical pro- grams that were being given. The sponsors of the club are Miss Ruehrmund and Mr. McCoy.

THE RECGRDER Girls, Glee Club SPONSOR-MISS RUEHRMUND The Girls' Glee Club is probably the oldest musical organization of C. H. S. It has become one of the most useful activities of the school in that it gives those persons who have singing ability a chance to receive vocal training. At the beginning of each year tryouts are held, and only the best qualified persons are accepted. Thus the standard of the club is kept at a high level. Three of the club members were chosen for the All-State Chorus at Cham- paign, and several members were chosen for the Mattoon Chorus. The club has been divided into two voice classes, which meet twice a Week. Six of these members competed in the intramural contest, one of which 'was chosen to represent C. H. S. at the E. I. League Meet in Paris this spring. 9 n The contest at Paris. and a'-Spring Concert were the principal events of the year. ' - 5 sl 'n I n' . Last Row: Briggs, Bails, Fulton, L. McQueen, Alexander, J.

The purpose of the Club is to create an interest in drama among the students and to give them training in this art. Although the Dramatic Club has not been as active this year as formerly, presenting only one play, it cannot be said that the year has been devoid of interest and progress. A new system of try-outs was devised, the aspirants wishing to become members of the club presenting a play directed by the President of the Club, and being admitted on the merit of their work. Thus 66Triiles', was presented, the only play presented to the public this year. Thr cast included Mary Margaret Lee, ,lane Abbott, John Paul, Keith Ratts, and Edward Sullivan. All were admitted to the Club, as was Paul Simpson, thi State Manager, and Shirley Bails, Property Manager.

Paul Simpson The Science Club was organized in February after a considerable demand for such a club on the part of several students who are particularly interested in science. The constitution provided that students with one or more years in science should be eligible for membership, but was later amended to include students who had not had a full year of science, but who, in the opinion of the sponsors, showed proper appreciation and aptitude in science. As is the case with any newly organized club, several students were active while organization was in progress, but have not showed up for participation since. If the club is to function as a worth-While organization, those who have remained faithful will have to carry the load, showing by their participation and example that this organization is one for the strengthening of interest in science in C. H. S. and not just another social club. The club meets every two weeks. The meetings consist of reports of chemical action of acids, metals, and the like. Reports on television, radio, electricity, chemistry, and botany, and other studies are also given. Last Row: White, Doty, McQueen, Jack, Nichols, Stine, Grant, Swango, Johns, Pinnell, Allan.

This year there are sixty-one members, all of whom find agriculture one of their most interesting as well as useful subjects. The meetings of the club are held once each month. The club projects are a basketball team, participation in judging and public speaking contests, and the vocational fair. ln the spring of 1934 the Fat Stock Judging Team won tenth place at the State Contest. At the Sectional Judging Contest in 1935 the Grain Team won second place and the Poultry Team won fifth. This gave Charleston third place in total points. The contest was finished here the first week in May by judging fat and dairy. The Club was host to the annual public speaking con- test of' Section 12 in March, to which all schools in this district sent contestants. Paul Spence represented this chapter and placed third.

Dannie and Dominie, two tramps who have escaped from prison, are very much discouraged with life when good luck comes to them in the form of Uncle Alex, who mistakes Dannie for his long absent master. The two pals, although they fear the results, enter the Castleman home, hoping to soon skip out with clothes and money, but complications arise. Harry Chilton, the villainous cousin, attempts to prove that Dannie is not Castlelnan. Jean, the young girl in love with Dannie, wins Dominie's confidence and he attempts to tell her the truth about himself and Dannie, but Chilton and Dominie receive their big surprise when it is revealed that Dannie really is Richard Castleman.

I935 Social Calendar On September 17, the Seniors spon- sored the first party of the year. The party was given in order that the students might become better ac- quainted. Dancing and cards were the diversions of the evening. On October 27 the Seniors enter- tained the High School at an informal party held in the gymnasium. The evening was spent in playing games and dancing. On December 7 a crowd of merry makers made their way to the High School to enjoy the annual Junior Carnival. Before the side shows began the halls were filled with merry makers, clowns, grand opera singers, and a crowd of onlookers. The entire class- room capacity of the second floor was used for the side shows. Some of the attractions were 64The Darn 'Em and Daily Circus, '6Grand Opera, 'GThe Lamp Went Out, 'eCard Tricks, '6Chamber of Horrors, 66Boys' Dance Chorusf' and MLie Detector. There was even a Rogues Gallery in which were some pictures of our dignified faculty when they were children. After the side shows were over we went to the assembly room to see the main show, 6'Thanks Awfully, a very clever one-act comedy. In an amusing ceremony which made use of the nursery rhyme, '4Sing a Song of Sixpence, Victor Curtis and Evelyn Archer 'were crowned King and Queen of Charles- ton High School. Their attendants were Kathryn Cox, Mary Lanman, Sara Reynolds, Lyle Chapman, Glen- nard Knauss, and Victor Seaton. A jitney dance followed the crown- ing and concluded a perfectly aswell carnival. On April 13 the Juniors entertained the Seniors at the Annual Junior- Senior banquet. The atmosphere of the banquet ball was extremely nauti- cal, the theme of the banquet being The Good Ship Lolly-Pop. Table decorafions and dance programs of ships and fog-horns carried out this idea. Dale Peters acted as toastmaster, while toasts were given by Mr. Craig, Miss McClure, Evelyn Archer and Ralph Butler. Entering the gymnas- ium by means of a gang plank, we were surprised to find ourselves on the deck of an ocean liner. Blue and white balloons, lolly-pops, candy bars, anchors, and red and white sticks of candy were found in pro- fusion. The Novelty Sixi' started the dance by playing The Good Ship Lolly-Pop. During the evening Bill Brown conducted a very entertaining floor show. The evening will long be remem- bered by all who were able to attend, both Juniors and Seniors proclaiming it a decided success. C. H. S. .,............1.... Forty-six I935 ........
