C. H. S. VV e were very timid when, as freshmen, we began our search for knowledge. Dorothy Phillips was chosen to lead us through the first part of our journey and under her leadership we soon became better acquainted with the land of learning. Frank Myer was the only one in our group to win a letter for football and we were proud of him. W'e chose Julia Vrooman to take Dorothy's place as president and she successfully led us the remainder of the year. We started on our second year with a know-all attitude. Ferne Oyer led us on the first step of our journey as sophomores. We entered our float in the Community Fair Day parade and won third place. Verna Stoller guided us through the last part of that year's journey. VV ith Helen Tobin leading us. we started our third year in search of knowledge. We were again successful with our float, winning second place with our beautiful junior jewel Box of old rose and pink. VVe staged a play Apple Blossom Time and were very proud of the results. VVhile julia Vrooman was our leader we sponsored a junior luncheon. During the last half of the third year we delightfully and successfully entertained our superiors, the seniors. It was an affair of splendor and happiness. Then we started on our fourth and last year of our journey through the land of learning. Under the leadership of Dorothy Phillips we were very progressive. VVe worked hard on our float and it was again a glorious suc- cess, winning for us the first prize. Later on our journey we again gave an entertainment, Tailspins',, which proved to be even more successful than the one given the preceding year. Perhaps this fact was due to the unusual situa- tion that the director, Mr. Twardock, was also the author. The last part of our journey was led by Isaac Wleaver. This time it was the juniors who did the entertaining, and we were the honored guests. Wfhen the long journey was finished and the much desired diplomas obtained, we separated, each starting his search for success and happiness, but I am sure not one has ever forgotten those days of progress and friendship during the four years in C.

C. II. S. JULIA VROOLIAN. Dear class of nineteen thirty-one, Dear noble seniors all, I bid you greetings and farewell, And hope that none of you may fall From those high standards taught at schoolg For every lesson, every rule, Is but to virtuous life a call. We have our struggles-every one, Our trials, temptations, too. But that is why we've gone to school, To learn more clearly what to do VV hen fate has laid her stern hand hard Upon our back, and joy is barred. ,Tis then, our learning pulls us through. Three happy years I spent with you, The fourth at Thorton High. And though my present loyalty Is claimed, no one could buy The love I have for my old home And school-no matter where I roam, As long as Memyry can not die. Unless we go to college soon Our school career is done, But what a blessing high school is, And surely everyone Agrees that as we say good-bye There's much in life, yet, we must try, But rest assured, much has been won.

XfValking up to the mechanic, who is giving the motors a final inspection, we ask, What is this ship's name, and where is it going? This is the good ship 'Class of '32', he answers, and it is just start- ing a four stop flight around the world of Knowledge. As he finishes speaking he steps back, and with motors roaring and Merle Myers at the stick, the plane soars gracefully into the air. On she speeds and at the halfway mark of the first lap of the journey, the pilot is relieved by Cecil Osborn. If we listen closely we may hear laughing and singing. y 4 , Let's peek in the window! Oh, yes! They're having their annual class party. But now they are nearing the end of their first journey, and presently they glide down to earth. After what seems to be a very brief stop, they again take off, this time with Mabel Frederick at the controls. But she soon straps on her parachute and leaves the ship, and Eloise Streid takes the stick for the remainder of the first half of the second quarter. At this point Eloise is relieved by Catherine Schopp who sends the ship sailing majestically through the blue skies. Now they draw near the halfway mark, all too soon, and they again come to a landing. During this stop the members are saddened by the death of their lively little companion, Lorna Johnson. Now the plane is taking off again, with Cecil Osborn as pilot. Let us again look into the window. They are having another party, and how they seem to enjoy it. Now they come to the halfway mark of their third trip. But time presses, and we must go back to our work, so we will leave them at this point. Perhaps we may tell the story of the remainder of their flight next year at this time. ' CECIL OSBORN.

This was their second step through that King of Education . Of course they had to stop here for another year, because their intelligence was yet very light in weight. To make this part of the ladder hold up, two sponsors were necessary. They were Mrs. Darling and Mr. Twardock. A president was also necessary, so they chose Mildred Kauffman, On Community Fair Day , a float was shown by each class. The Sophomores won second place. October 29th, just before Hallowe'en, a masquerade party was held at the gymnasium. The evening was spent in playing games, and at the close, refreshments were served. Everyone enjoyed the evening very much. Now, that Hallowe'en was over, the football season was open . Three boys won football letters. They were Eldo Brady, Ted Dorman, and 'WVill,' Hagar. The other class members were pleased very much with these boys. When the second semester arrived, it was time to elect a new president. Mildred Hogarth was elected. During the last semester, everything was calm until the step on the ladder began to crack. The weight of intelligence was now too heavy, and everyone was ready to take another step higher.

Many of the flowers were already in full bloom and showing their beaming faces, swaying and dancing in the breeze. Some of them were only half in bloom and others just ready to spread their leaves above the ground so they could see the other world. Among these beautiful blossoms came fifty-four green buds, all ready to begin work. These green buds were the Freshies of '31, entering into the High School world. Everyone of us was hoping that someone from the older class would come along and help us get acquainted. The blooming flowers, or upperclassmen, seemed very glad to have so many green sprouts for them to slam and jostle. This was the greatest number of green buds that had ever been a part of this garden at one time. After a few days the greenies got over their bashfulness, and began to learn the correct classrooms. A few weeks after we had shown our brilliant faces, aswift breeze came, telling us that we must elect class officers. VVe took the advice and elected these officers for the first semester: President .................. ..... R obert Streid Vice-President ........................-... ............. F erne Streid Secretary and Treasurer .............................. Francis Streid We tried again to open our pods and to show our faces, when along came a rain drop, with the news that we must make a float for the Community Fair Day parade. We worked faithfully on this, and won fourth prize. It represented a Japanese Tea Garden. Slowly but surely we tried to grow when along came a hunnning bird, telling us that we could have a Hallowe'en party. This was pleasant news. The party was held and everyone present had an enjoyable time, including several members of the faculty. VVe buds were growing fast, when along came someone who picked two of our great number, Cleta Lynch and Russell Estes. Our original number was soon made, with the addition of two new members, Herbert Flnrer and Gladys Bake1'. VVe were very glad to have both of them. VVe jolly green pods had just opened to show our flowery faces, when along came a frost fairy who made us all shudder and freeze at the news that Semester Exams were close at hand. But we got through those all right and started the new semester by trying to study harder. The same fairy came to us again and told us to hold a meeting to elect officers. We did this, and the following officers were elected. President- ....................................... Raymond Lenington Vice-President ............. ........., X fae Hogan Secretary and Treasurer ...............,.......... Idelle Augspurger During part of our skirmishes for freedom, we must give at least three cheers for the football 'fFreshies who won letters. Those boys were: Gilbert Pils, Erwin Stoller, Charles'Myer, and Raymond Lenington. The shining green pods, or Freshies of C. C. H. S. are still upward growing in knowledge which is brought to us because VVe build for character, not for fame. VVe have highest expectations that the time will come when we may be on the highest step holding our gleaming colors above the rest. Our sponsors. who are Mr. Elson, and Miss Holman, are guiding us through strifes to our highest goals. W'e all pledge ourselves to try for success at the end, when some- day our green pods will be opened and we may be in full bloom, our dancing faces full of radiant smiles upon the ones below us whom we hope to guide as we have been guided.

Each Tuesday, orchestra practice, under the direction of E. L. Meeker, was a part of the day's work. During the year, as usual, the orchestra was asked to play for the dilterent dramatic productions given by classes and organizations. They furnished music two different times for the n1en's banquet held at the Pres- byterian clzurch, and also, the community banquet. In April they entered the sub-district contest held at Pontiac, where they placed second. . This orchestra was composed of eighteen members. Much credit was due to each member for his hard work, and to Mr. Meeker for his competent supervision.

It was decided that a bouncer was needed to keep order at the meet- ings. For this great task Little W'alter jontry was selected. Thrane Hepperly won a cup for third place in the Future F armers' public speaking contest at Normal in May, 1930. Seed corn was selected from fields adjoining Chenoa. It was tested and sold as a means of financing the organization. On March, 1931, a Father and Son Banquet was prepared and served by the ladies of the Lutheran Church. Dr. Nolan of the University of Illinois was the principal speaker.

They won the first place all-around banner and cup. The dagy team, consisting of Isaac VVeaver, Clark Hewitt, and Fredrick Groth, won the first place cup and ribbon. The fat stock team also won the first place cup and ribbon. This team consisted of Kenneth Kinsinger, Thrane 1-lepperly. and Hilton Dunham. In the individual judging these boys won first. second, and fourth places, respectively. At the Grain and Poultry Judging Contest which was held at Normal in the fall of 1930, the Chenoa team was again successful in win11ing the first place all-around banner and cup. The corn team, small grains team, and identification team won first place cups and ribbons. The boys who made up the corn team were Thrane Hepperly, Fredrick Groth, and Donald Johnson. In the individual judging Thrane won first place and Donald second. The members of the small grains team won individual places as follows: James Brady, third, Erwin Stoller, fifth, and Charles Myers, ninth. The boys making up the identification team won the following individual ribbons: Hilton Dunham, lirstg VVayne Augspurger, fifth, and Kenneth Kinsinger, ninth. The poultry team won second place with its members winning the following nibbons: Frank Ackerman, third, Clarence Howell. fourthg and Russel Streid, seventh. On September 2, the dairy and fat stock judging team went to Fairbury to show their skill at the Fairbury Fair. The dairy team, composed of Hilton Dunham, Wayne Augspurger, and Fredrick Groth, won first place. The fat stock team won first place in sheep and 'hog judging, third in horses, and third in beef cattle. This team was made up of james Brady, Thrane Hepperly, and Kenneth Kinsinger. The teams placed first in all-around judging and were awarded a large rotating cup and a blue ribbon. This makes the second year for winning the cup. If it is won once more it will become the permanent possession of the school.

STUDENT ACTIVITY A student activity committee was organized this year and it has been very successful in increasing and bettering our assembly programs. A mem- ber from each class was elected and Mr. Davies acted as advisor. The fol- lowing representatives were chosen: Virginia Streid, a Senior, chairmang Hilton Dunham, a Junior, secretaryg Tillie Gittinger, a Sophomoreg and Vae Hogan, a Freshman. On December 9, one of the holders of the championship long distance riders of the early days, told us of his adventures. . Mr. Hallam of the Illinois Power and Light Corporation gave us an illustrated talk on Know Illinois on December 10. On Monday, December 15, the German wal' ace, Captain Anton Rutgers von Rozenburg spoke of his experiences in the NVOrld Vlfar. Icyda, a japanese, spoke to us about Japan and showed us many beautiful articles, on February 19. On March 11, the Wfesleyan and Eureka College debate teams gave a debate on the subject of Unemployment Insurance.

It was directed by Mr. Twardock and at the last minute he substituted for Richard Dorman. Any time a male character in a play attempts to play the part of a woman the ludicrous is bound to arise and such was the case in The Arrival of Kitty . The im- personation of Bobby Baxter, as portrayed by Skeet Joutry, in his attempt to win the love of his girl, Ferne Oyer, and at the same time foil the plans of NVilliam VVinkler, Clark Hewitt. who wanted to marry jane to a certain Ben Moore, Ike VVeaver. caused a mixture of identities that had everyone confused. and led the audience to tears of laughter. The antics of Aunt Jane to land a man established additional laugh pro- voking situations. This character part was taken by Virginia Streid. Mr. Twardock. as the substitute proprietor. and VValt jontry. as the colored porter, started all the trouble with their get-rich-quick schemes when the boss was away from the Tranquillity Hotel. The real Kitty. Dortha Cottle. stirred things up additionally when she found the false Kitty impersonating her. Ollie Ross completed the cast in her role as Suzette the maid. The cast of characters were as follows: VVilliam XVinkler--- ..... Clark Hewitt Bobbie Baxter ..... .................... L yle Jontry Benjamin Moore ..... .....................

This does not mean that nothing has been accomplished in these two years because all their work and playing builds up to another championship team in the very near future. There has been a serious injury every season. This time the jinx swung over Skeet Jontry who received a double fracture of the collarbone in the rough play at Dwight. The season continued to be unsuc- cessful and finally another season of gridiron warfare came to a close.

This is spring football, and we think that it will prove very satisfactory and will give the boys a chance to develop between the basketball and track season. Mr. Ferree thinks that this is the best way to get the boys lined up for their respective' positions next year. As at that time there will be two or three positions to be filled and it will take some time to do this if he waited until next fall. It was also stated that a new system of signals is to be used and if the boys learn them now it will save a lot of time next season. ELDON S TREID As you all probably know, Eldon Streid has received a great many honors for his ability at high jumping and we thought his record should be mentioned in this annual. During his Junior year he won first in all local meets, tied for third at the lfVesleyan interscholastic and won first at the state meet, then tied for second at the National meet. In his Senior year he won all local meets, took first at the VV'esleyan interscholastic, tied for first at the Millikin relays, was defeated at the state, and won the National meet. Wfe think this is a very good record for a local boy and we are very proud of him. Forty-nine 'so if 1 9 3 1 of-'fi- -. ww. 5?-fee?

M BASKETBALL 1930 - 1931 The Redbirds closed their basketball season with' seven games won and thirteen defeats. This is not much, perhaps. but it is as good and even better than has been done for several years. The team won seven games, and second place in the McLean County Consolation, Senior division. A lucky basket, dropped by the opposing team just forty seconds before the game ended, kept us from winning first place. Three Seniors leave the team this year. They are Isaac Weaver, Richard Dorman, and Lyle jontry, all lettermen. The rest of the team was composed of Cecil Osborn. a juniorg Theodore Dorman. Dale Streid, Emery Ebbert. and Arthur Streid, Sophomoresg and Raymond Lenington and Ralph Clapp, Freshmen. It leaves quite a line of lettermen for next year's banner basketball team. More interest was shown by local people and students this year than has previously been shown. A good cheering body behind a team helped a lot, hence our better record this year. Here are a few of the high lights of this year's basketball squad. Chenoa scored 414 points to their opponents 440 points. There were seven lettermen who played most of the games. The second and third teams played the second team games, and so the fourth team had a chance to play, too. One way to have a good basketball team is to have enough men to choose from thus creating competition and rivalry. It happened that way this year. The Redbirds began to hit their season's form at the McLean County Tourney, where they lost the first game to Heyworth, whose team later became County Cham- pions, by a 19 to 16 count. It was the closest score Heyworth had in winning the tourney. Next Chenoa defeated Danvers, 23 to 16. This was the first game Chenoa had won from a rival High School in either basketball or football in the last two years. Then they played the last night for the Senior Consolation championship. Chenoa led until Stan- ford tied the score in the last few minutes and then what looked like an overtime turned into a defeat for Chenoa, when a Stanford sharpshooter sank a long shot, with forty seconds to play. Chenoa lost a four point game to Dwight, lost to Downs, and then won two in a row. defeating Gridley 39 to 18, and Forrest 23 to 15. A game was lost to Lexington, and then the Redbirds retaliated by winning three more games, two of them being Illini Conference games, which were well worth a score of defeats and hard practice. Eureka, XVoodford County champion team, was defeated by the count of 15 to 12. in a fast and exciting game. Then came the crowning glory of the entire schedule when Chenoa, at their season's best, defeated our old rivals from the north, Pontiac, by the big count of 33 to 22, avenging last year's defeat at the hands of Pontiac. Another game was from Gridley, 34 to 16. Chenoa played in two tournaments this year, and the first team which the Red- birds encountered in each, later went through to win the championship. It was the same the year before, and has been done at least once every season before. Pretty soon other teams will be fighting for a chance to play Chenoa in their first game of a tourney. Maybe, too, it is just the same old Redbird luck.

The meet was very interesting and until the last event the score remained a tie. Chenoa won the last event, the half-mile relay, thus winning the meet. The second meet was with Lexington and proved extremely success- ful when the 1neet ended with a score of 98-23 C not counting the points taken by Chenoa in the 120-yard high hurdles, which we do not credit owing to the fact that Lexington had no entrant in this eventj. VVeaver was Chenoa's outstanding star of the season. His main events were the 50, 100, and 220 yard dashes, the javelin throw, high jump and broad jump. Osborn, a junior, and T. Dorman and Ebbert, Sophomores, showed fine work in the various events. The track men again sponsored an annual field and track day for the country schools in the territory surrounding Chenoa. Much enjoyment was taken in this event by both the entrants and the local sponsors. THE ROLL 1. W. Augspurger 9. W. jontry 17. I. Stoller 2. E. Brady 10. R. Lenington 18. A. Streid 3. Ralph Clapp 11.

It seems, however, that there was one outstanding lad on the squad who received the biggest share of the points, Eldon Streid. Eldon's outstand- ing events were the high jump and the running broad jump. He represented Chenoa in the Millikin, Lincoln, State, and National, besides the inner school meets. Wesley Cox, follower of Streid in the high jump, received several second places. Cecil Osborn showed up in an excellent way as a Sophomore by taking several points in the pole vault and 220 low hurdles. Other men who helped protect the C. C. H. S. honors were: Isaac Wfeaver, who threw the javelin and ran the half mile g Russell Schnecken- burger, the 220 yard dash man, Boian, and Dorman, the relay sprinters. Chenoa started the track season by defeating El Paso and Lexington in the annual triangular meet. Eldon Streid stole all the victory with four iirsts and a second. Vlfeaver and Schneckenberger were next high point men with ten points each. This was the first contest the Redbirds had won for the year. The winning of the first meet put new encouragement into them. On April 19, the Millikin meet was held. Streid was the only Chenoa lad to place. He. tied for first in the high jump at 5 feet, 11 inches. On May 2, the County meet was held at Bloomington. The Chenoa lads placed second, being defeated by Leroy. Streid was again high point man receiving first in the high jump and first in the broad jump. Cecil surprised everyone by topping the bar for first place in the pole vault. XVesley also received second place honors in the high and broad jumps. VVeaver ran the half mile for the first time in the season and received first place. The re- lay' team composed of Schneckenberger, Boian, VVeaver, and Streid placed second. W The District meet is held to pick the first place man in each event to go to the state meet. Streid was the only Chenoa athlete to go. At Lincoln he also won the high and broad jumps with great ease. Schneckenberger came close in the 220 yard dash but lost out in the finals. In the Illini Conference held at Pontiac, Chenoa received fourth with twenty-one points. As usual Streid was the best man winning firsts in the broad and high jumps. VVesley Cox came in fourth in the 50 yard dash and second in the high jump. Isaac threw the javelin, receiving second place. The biggest meet of the year in this locality was the Gridley Relays. Here Eldon broke two records. He topped the bar at 5 feet 11 3-4 inches and broad jumped 21 feet, 2 3-4 inches. These are both new records. Not being satisfied with these meets Streid went to the National meet at Chicago and won the high jump. This is something for which the students of this high school can be proud. Fifty-three .

A GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION For the first time in the history of the school, the girls of Chenoa Community High School have had a physical education class. At first, only the girls who so desired took it but later all the girls were compelled to take it to comply with the state laws. The classes were held every Tuesday and Thursday during the seventh and eighth periods, and Coach Ferree, who was our instructor, taught us to march, play games and really enjoy ourselves. Girls' basketball teams were organized, each class having a team. A tournament was then held among the classes. The teams consisted of: FRESHMEN- SOPHOMORES- Zazel Ross, guard Mildred Hogarth, QMgr.j guard Ferne Streid, QMgr.l guard Olga Parenti, guard Pauline Bauman, CCapt.J center Geraldine Hatfield, center Blanche Elliott. center Gladys Yates, CCapt.D center Irma Sandmeyer, forward Genevieve Stockum, forward Ruth Gillispie, forward Marjorie Schmitt, forward JUNIORS- SENlORS- Isabelle Bauman CCapt.-Mgrj guard Eva Hester CCapt.-Mgr.j guard Catherine Schopp, guard Bernice Harms, guard Jane Boian, center Dortha Cottle, center Lila Powell, center Virginia Streigi, center Eloise St,reid, forward Verlie Henline, forward Mildred Lee, forward Ferne Oyer, forward Each team played six games with the other classes.

We want to congratulate the Sophomores for their nice work. Coach Ferree and Curly Hewitt then chose two all-star teams from the various classes. They called one team the Tigers, and the other the Cubs. The teams played on Tuesday, March third, and the Tigers won with a score of 11 to 5. BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The purpose of physical education is to keep the boys and girls phy- sically fit and to make them have more interest in their school work. Physical education develops the mind as well as the body and although it is required, it is very interesting. ' There was boxing, and wrestling for the boys, and pyramid building. They also played games of a great variety twice a week in their classes. This is the first year that anything of this sort has been tried out and now that it is compulsory we Hope that everyone will enjoy the course thoroughly. VV e are very much pleased with the interest already shown.

She had been born and raised on Del Monte Ranch and now that her father and mother were both deceased, the responsibility of tending the ranch fell on her shoulders. Her father had never mentioned the state of affairs he was in but Page saw through it all. He had done his best to make it appear as though he had plenty of money to lavish on her but she realized now at what cost he had done this. At present Del Monte Ranch was in a bad state of affairs. All this work and management was new to Page and never at a time before had she felt more alone. There was no one except the foreman, Dave, whom she could trust. The rest of the cowboys easily yielded to temptation, and they didn't give a whoop whether or not the ranch was progressing. As Page was riding thus, a crash occurring not very far away, attracted her at- tention. Quickly she set out on a faster pace toward the crash in fear of what had happened. In the distance, she spied an airplane entirely dilapidated. Trembling, she called Dynamite 'to a halt and slowly started to investigate. At first she discovered nothing but a ruined plane and then she heard a low moan. At least there was life yet. S0 she quickly went back to the ranch and sent the cowboys after the victim while she, herself, prepared a soft bed for him. The cowboys brought him home and Page dressed his wounds. The newcomer was unconscious a11d remained so for three days. On the third day toward evening the fine looking young man slowly showed signs of coming out of his coma. Page had very faithfully taken care of him and she was rather fatigued. So she welcomed the thought of his regaining consciousness. His eye- lids -fluttered and finally his eyes remained open. Say, where am I? he asked in a weak voice. Is this heaven? No, not hardly, Page replied, but I did think you were ready to cross the River Jordan. Do you know how long you have been unconscious? Oh, about fifteen minutes, I guess. You sure guessed wrong that time. Why this is only the third day. By the way, how do you feel, stiff and sore? After three days of sleep, I feel fine especially when I have such a good-looking nurse. lVith this he tried to sit up, but fell back ghastly white with pain. Hmm! Guess I don't feel so well after all. I don't think any bones are broken but I am rather bruised and sore. Say, where did I crash? This is Coloradog the nearest town around here is Greenville. You crashed on my ranch. I'm from New York. I was trying to break the speed record of Cross Continental flying and I think I did break my speed, somewhat. Thus a week had passed and Clyde Sanders was able to sit up in a chair. Page gave him a number of books to read while she tended the affairs of the ranch. Just exactly a month ago today as she was riding slowly over the ranch Clyde's pla11e had crashed. Today she was riding in the same way, still as perplexed as ever about financial way and means. If she couldn't make money some way, she would probably lose all her ranch hands for their wages were already two months past due and all her cattle and possessions were mortgaged. Clyde's coming to the ranch was not going to help her financial conditions any, she was sure of that. As she neared a ravine, hidden from sight to any passer by, she decided to sit on a Fifty-eight HEQ:rrrl'iEtz51mE5E'TiEi1?5j5ngnrt 1 9 3 1 ERIEQzuiugztrxigizznnnxizzirzx:gig new IV'lllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllll'l'lI'lr!IllIlllllllllllilllllflllllllhllll1llll1H.1Il.' ll 'Z l' v 'lv gli J, Q 'l'lvflllllllllvllwllllilllllllllllllllllfllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllilllllllil''llilllll'llllllllllllll'l ll ll'l ll I - lllllllllllllllllllilhlllllllllllllill1llillIlllllllllllllllIIlllIlltlllI.Illlllll.iIlll llllllllllllll H .l l A ' .Ee S: Hnllll llllilllllllllllllllllllhllllllllillll'lilllllllillllllilIllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllilhllil ll li lldl .l I . 9 rock near the running stream, and think about things. She sat with her face cupped in her hands, thinking. She tried to figure out a way to manage these oppressing situations, when all of a. sudden she noticed a small yellow particle lying at the bottom of the stream. She studied it a moment, then she reached for it. It was tiny yet it looked very much like gold. Yes, it was gold. I wonder if there is any more in this ravine, she was muttering aloud. Hope filled her heart with the desire 'to look for more. This was her secret and she started building air castles. Yes, this might be a means of bettering her financial matters. As she returned home in the evening, she was happier than usual and found it hard to keep her secret. But to her dismay, Clyde had disappeared with one of her best horses. No one had seen him go or knew his whereabouts. Page thought, That's what I get for trusting a handsome fellow like him. VVonder what else he felt it his duty to take? But Page forgot Clyde as the days passed by for she was busy panning gold. Her small sack was slowly filling up and before long she believed she would have enough to pay her debts. She told no one because she was afraid of theft. One day after a heavy rain, Page went back to her old routine with the pan and spade. To her surprise the heavy rains had washed a broader depression in the ravine Her hope was that it had uncovered some undiscovered gold and sure enough it had. Barely had she started her work when she panned a big nugget, as large as a marble. Her eyes widened with surprise and excitement. She could not help thinking what this would mean to her bank roll. The desire to pan more and more urged her onward. She hoped the gold supply would last a while longer, because this was an easy way of releasing her money oppressions. One warm day in June, Page was busily panning gold. She was so intensified with her work that she did not hear an airplane flying overhead. It was flying rather low and soon it landed. The pilot climbed out, looked through his telescope and suddenly started to walk briskly in the direction of the ravine. At last her secret was discovered! Hello, Page ! - Page screamed. She was so astonished at a voice near her that she slowly raised her eyes, and gazed into Clyde's smiling face. Oh, it seems as if I've seen you somewhere before, Clyde said, still smiling, and getting a pleasure out of Page's white, amazed face. Page at last found her voice. You-you'd dare to come back here? XVhy not? 'iOf all the low-down, nervy, disreputable cads, you're one, Page said, recalling his quick departure. VVait until I get my dictionary. What lovely words you know to describe me. If I'd explain the why's and wherefore's of everything, wouldn't you change your opinion of me? Oh, let's go to the house. I'm through working for today, anyway, she said, ignoring his question. By the way, how did you happen to discover gold here? Regular little gold- digger, aren't you? 'WVell, it's like this, she said, there were two men in a rowboatiu Say, come down to earth and answer my questions. Don't you hear well? Sillyl How do you suppose anyone discovers it? I just discovered it, that's all, and it isn't a gold rush for anyone except me, get me? I need all I can find and even more.

You needn't slam me, but here is the reason I left in such a hurry without ex- plaining. You see my folks were waiting to hear from me and I knew my mother would be worried so I just decided to leave mysteriously. I thought maybe I would be back anyway because this ranch has sort of an attraction for me. The horses, I think. So I noticed-you happened to take one of my best horses. Oh, pardon me, my error, I meant to give this to you before. VVill one hundred fifty do? If not, how would personal property do? Ahem! How long do you intend to stay? It just depends. I thought something of buying a ranch out here, if you are willing. Let's sit down here on this step and watch the sunset. There is nothing more beautiful than a Colorado sunset. Yes, if I had my paint brush here I would paint it, he said. According to you. I'll bet you cau't even paint. Somebody must have told you that. I feel like singing, may I sing for you? Wait, I want to get my smelling salts. u I know I'm terrible and I know you have a bad opinion of me but what's the difference, I said I was going to sing! Oh, don't mind me, I'm so used to being sarcastic and indifferent to the cowboys that 1 make it a habit to treat strangers- Still a stranger, huh? Well, listen to this- You're the one I care for, you're the one and therefore, I hope you care for me- Page heard no more, for she was so entranced with his singing that she forgot all and felt transmitted into another world. She cared for him, of course, and all this made her so happy that tears started falling down her cheeks. Clyde noticed. and guessed her feelings. He was happy but did not know what to say in a case of tears, so he just said, Page! ' What? , came the faint answer. Do-do you want my handkerchief? -FERNE OYER.

The distant tread of loiterers about the abbey grew less and less frequent, moving away, losing themselves in the shadow of the convent. The soft tones of the evening bell were summoning the worshipers to evening prayers. I saw at a dis- tance the choristers in their white surplices, come through the large iron gate, cross the aisle and enter the choir. Nuns in their black garbs moved slowly from shadowy corners and doors, into the inner court and knelt to give their prayers. Ivfen, women, and children knelt. Late toilers in the fields, others in their small huts, and still others in their large villas, all knelt for evening worship. The music softly died away and the bell ceased to ring. The nuns and choir disappeared within the white walls of the convent. The natives arose and turned to finish the remaining tasks of the day. Twilight had slipped away and darkness covered the little village. Silently and slowly the moon arose, silhouetting the abbey against it. Pale moonlight fell on San Jose and dreamy music of guitars floated to me. I heard laughing and soon young senors and senoritas were quietly strolling together. It was the time for relaxation from the day's work and the romance and mystery of old Mexico was in the air. g --ELOISE STREID. LIFE OF WILLIAM AND SARAH CA new ending of Eliot's Silas Marner , as a Sophomore sees it.J Silas found one of his old friends when he went to the place where Lantern Yard had been. She had been a member of Silas' church and was there when they had had their trouble. Here is fhe story just as she told it to Silas and Eppie: As you know XVilliam and Sarah were married about a month after they accused you of stealing the money. They moved to a distant town where one of,Sarah's un- married sisters lived. Nothing was heard of them for a number of years. One day, I saw VVilliam going down the street He looked so old, haggard, and worn, and walked with such uncertain steps, I hardly recognized him. I spoke to him and asked him for whom he was looking. He stared at me for a moment and said he wanted the parson. I told him that he had died. He looked very grieved and said that he had something to tell him, but since the parson was gone he would tell me. He said it was he that had taken the church money years ago and- that he laid the plot very carefully so that no suspicion would fall upon him. He had kept your knife, Silas, and placed it where it was found the next morning. He was not sick at all the night of the robbery but was at the home of the deacon. He said the deacon was improving. and you were in a stupor. He thought now would be his chance. so under the pretense of giving the deacon medicine he gave him deadly poison which killed him instantly, I-Ie then took the money and went to hide the bag at your home. I am going to tell the rest just as he told it to me, she said. I married a very dishonest woman. If I had taken the care to look up her past life I wouldn't have gotten into this predicament. She and her sister were dope Sends, although my wife was not so nearly dead as her sister. Sally, her sister, had been married secretly and had a baby girl. Both disappeared one night and neither had been heard of until recently I heard she had died in Ravaloe and a man by the name of Silas Marner had her little girl. I looked up this man's history and I found he was the man Sixty-one ixgiiinizgziuizrmgggggjgtnixipqgijij 1 9 3 1 nn:truxriifggimiuzggjrgrgnnfiimnrmzn I l. .

HAWKEYE VISITS NEW' YORK We all remember Hawkeye in The Last of the Mohicans . Let us try to imagine that he is visiting New York. He might reach there by boat, but if he had an automobile he would follow the Hudson and the drive would be more beautiful. VVe shall say that he starts from a camp on Lake George and takes a boat down the Hudson River. He thinks of the beautiful scenery on the way down and the times he spent in war. VVhen he goes through Albany he gazes with wonder at the tall buildings and the lighted towers. He is also amazed at the wonder of the street cars. XVhen l1e passes VVest Point he sees the academy and wishes he could get out there and have target practice with the cadets and use VVestern Labaloys in his faithful Killdeer . Hawkeye arrives in New York about sundown. He decides to go to a hotel to get his room. After dinner he goes to a theater and finds that they are having The Last of the Mohicans with the talkies. He sees his own life in picture form. The next morning he wants to see the Atlantic Ocean and New York Harbor. He takes the subway down town and sees all the apartment buildings, the Vkfoolworth building on Manhattan Island, and the new Brooklyn Bridge. He goes to Roosevelt Field on Long Island and sees the airport and the exact place that Lindbergh took oFf when he flew to Paris. If Lindbergh was in the city, Hawkeye would probably see him. VVe now take him down to New York Harbor where he sees the vast amount of water and the ships coming in and going out. He stays there half a day watching the people and machinery unloading the ships. Then he goes back and up to the top of the VVool- worth building. I-Ie sees the offices side by side and all the elevators running up and down. Hawkeye is not afraid of anything so he decides to take an elevator down. They don't have to stop and the elevator goes fast. All the passengers except Hawkeye faint and he gets off without help and helps the others off. VVhen he is ready to go it is about six o'clock. He crosses the Brooklyn Bridge at night when it is all lighted. He notices that all of the business houses are on Manhattan Island. He asks why that is and is told that it is the center of the city and suburbs, and the easiest place for the people to come to buy. VVhen he gets back to his hotel it is eleven olclock. The next morning he takes the subway out to the residential section. Then he takes the street car and sees all the apartments. He goes farther and sees the Columbia University. He visits it and sees all the class rooms and the big-laboratories where some of our big scientific questions are being worked upon. He sees the mansion of the President of Columbia. I-Ie gets lunch at a little wayside lunch counter. In the afternoon he goes back to his hotel and prepares to go back home. He has seen Greater New York and has passed many parks and zoos on his daily tours about the city. He can't imagine or realize that he is living in a world of many needy and convenient things. He is living in the world of machinery and electricity. The next morning Hawkeye takes his boat for home, and we will say good-bye to him- -JOHN KETCHAM.

Each subject studied in school is brought just a little closer through the pictures in the pages of its text- books. Each illustration has meant that the engrav- er's handiwork has been maintaining that close bond established back in that distant primer day. It is gratifying to us as members of the engraver's profession to have had a small part in the fashioning of this year book. In much the same manner as we have contributed in helping these students glean the knowledge they sought, our share will, through the illustrations in this book, bring back pleasant mem- ories, in years to come when time's passage has gilded these pages with the gold of sentiment. Your careers are ahead of you, Class of 1931. As you march onward in the varied paths you follow, it is a source of satisfaction that the engraver, too, through his interpretation of world events, will keep step with you and lay before you the treasures of further knowledge.
