- 4 Eine Qllhennhaan e I ss SOLILOQUY OF THE SENIORS Four happy years of sweet content Have now passed by, and gone, Four happy years of time well spent, And we are passing on. We're passing on, no one knows what Will meet us in the end, But we'l1 e'er try to do our lot Though it be lose or win. The work, we pass to those beneath, Taxe up and bear on high, , The slogan which we now bequeath That is to do or die. And when you find yourselves up here, Laugh not at those below, Remember you were once down there, And knew not where to go. Be careful how you set the pace, Teach others to be true, Do as we say with laughing grace, Not merely as we do. Spend well your time, your days are fewg Four years are quickly goneg Leave nothing in those days to rue, Ere you go rolling on. KcGENE,, BANDY, '30 ' 1 9 3 0 Page twenty-five

' I iii. mil! UZIJBIIUUJHII :'f:iT until we came to a road, then follow the road until we arrived somewhere- sometime-somehow. Thereupon we walked until our feet started yelling for mercy, and we were just about ready to stop in order to gain a little much-needed rest, when to our despairing ears came the musical twinkle of running water. Of course, it was the creek. Realizing that the creek had run past the cabin, we miraculously did the correct thing, and following the creek, we journeyed upstream, arriving at our destination just as the last rosy red hues of the setting sun disappeared beyond the western horizon. We were footsore and weary, but were we glad to be back! Never did a meal taste so good, even despite the fact that our cook was slightly inferior to a chef, and the amount consumed seriously threatened our not inexhaustible supply, and brought to our minds thoughts of a new and greater famine that would eclipse even that famous famine of the time of joseph. Our larder, however, could be supplemented by stores from a neighboring farmhouse, and, who knows? there might be fish in that creek. although it was only about a foot deep, and almost perfectly clear. Dreaming of the events of the day, we retired to our beds CPD and to another banquet, at which we were again not the guests of honor, but the feast itself, and a sumptuous feast it proved to be. But why prolong your agony, and mine as I recall the events of that remarkable trip? Merely let it suffice to say that after six days of no fun and hard work, coupled with six nights of misery and mosquitoes, we decided to call it a draw, and departed, leaving the insects in complete and undisputed possession of the fort, but without supplies or visible means of existence. I think that every one was very glad to be returning home once again, to food fit to eat, a comfortable bed to sleep in, and no mosquitoes to contend with the sandman. I am positively certain that I was. ' Did we have a good time? No. Emphatically no! But we'll go again when opportunity offers, tapping at our portals with iron hand, cun- ningly concealed in thick gloves. Of course we'll go again. Boys are made that way! - ERVIN M.

BASKETBALL SEASON 1929-'30 THIQ basketball season of 1929-30 may be classified as unsuccessful fin regard to games won and lostj but the team was pursued by hard luck from the very first of the season. The team was handicapped by sickness and ineligibility and was represented most of the season largely by men who were playing their first year of basketball. At that, the team lost three games by one point and dropped the decision in several games by a narrow margin after a hard battle. However, the season will prove valuable in later years as it served to break in a number of inexperienced men who will undoubtedly carry the banner of C. C. H. S. to victory in future years. Among these were Cecil Osborn, Theodore Dorman, Richard Dorman, and Lyle Jontry. Other members of the squad who bore the brunt of the action were Eldon Streid, Lynn Nickel, Kenneth Lenington and Isaac YVeaver. Captain Sandham was forced out early in the season, due to illness, BASKETBALL SCHEDULE 1929-'30 Chenoa 8-Downs 12 Chenoa 6-El Paso Chenoa 8-Lexington 16 Chenoa 8-Forrest Chenoa IZ-Downs 17 Chenoa 22-Odell MCLEAN COUNTY TOURNAMENT GAMES Chenoa 1-Leroy 28 Chenoa 15-Stanford Chenoa 12-Minonk 18 Chenoa 15-Pontiac Chenoa 6-Odell 55 Chenoa 18-Carlock Chenoa 16-Carlock 17 Chenoa 12-Dwight Chenoa 14-Lexington 15 Chenoa 14-Eureka Page twenty-sim N Y , ,N , ,, , D N l gg 1930
