Danville High School - Medley Yearbook (Danville, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 66 of the 1904 volume:

The D. H. S. Medley Volume I. Danville High School The Medley ===Being' the First Year Booh of the Danville, Illinois, High School June, 1904 BY THE SENIOR CLASS j£? dedicated —T O T H E ” Danville High School Its Teachers, Members, and Alumni “A StitcH in Time” WK THINK that all the good of going to school does not come from the hooks studied. Whatever good we do for our school or class develops our character and helps to make our chool life happier. As we now look about us we notice, here and there, students indifferent to their surroundings, working night and day at their lessons, and we cannot help feeling that their course is detrimental to their own proper development, that of their classmates, and of their school. So we say that, chiefly, the object of Thr Mkdi.ky is to keep up the spirit of loyalty for the Danville High School that her students, each and every one, may be a support, and not a burden to her. You realize that this book is not perfection. So do we. We have gone into deep holes, too. but now we are again on level earth, and we do not regret our adventure. With how much more consideration, then, should you readers look upon it, who have not experienced our trials and discouragements. Being a large venture, and the first book of its kind in the Danville High School, there were naturally many details that did not exactly please us, but which we were unable to arrange otherwise. Also, we received volumes of advice on the subject of publishing an annual, most of which went out the other ear, for we had heard of the man who tried to please everybody. We wish to thank each one who has in any way helped us to prepare this book. We hope that, as you have helped us. you will give a hearty support to our successors; that each year will see a volume of Thr Mkdi.ky that far surpasses any of its predecessors. THE STAFF.

Before tins, programs were given tirst by the Eclectic and Standard societies, but when th se ceased to exist they were givni i i 1 ■p;n lrnrly. In ft • latter case, however, it was f nnd that rivalry wa, ncede I to excite the interest and enthusiasm of the students and as a result the Ath •uaetnn and Adarian Literary Societies were formed It has been the custom tints far f .reach society during the schu .1 year to give f ur progrun, and to war 1 the end of each year, usualv'about tie middle of Mav. t � have a contest between the two. These li ivc shown to the publ c the skill of thosi taking part, an 1 to t i - patro ls, th- progress which w-have made along the Ltcrary line By means of these programs pupils have discovered talent of which they never before had dreamed. Orators, elocutionists, essayists, debaters, cartoonists, and the like have been found in both societies, and their talents used to best benefit themselves and the High School. I'util 1903, the two societies stood equal, as a result of each one’s winning three contests. Last year, however, the Adarians gained a victory over the Athenaeums. — H ON the evening of May 22, 1 03, a contest was held between the Urhana High School and the Danville High School. The contest was a literary and musical programme combined. It was very enjoyable, at least for the home people, it being a decided victory for Danville.

Owing to the diligent practice of those concerned, and the efficient management of Miss Grant, it was a great success. The following persons were in the play: Will Irwin, Mabelle Bushong, Laura Ilottel. Lillie Schneider. Gertrude Fox. Paul Trueblood. Stanley Snyder and Karl Koseberry. ) HiawatHa OT LONG ago there was committed one of the greatest crimes known to history. Yet it remains unpunished, and the guilty person is living on its gains. It was the composing of a small innocent looking piece of music, yet there are probably more evil effects from this crime than from others far more terrible to think of. About a year and a half ago there was a young man as happy and as gay as anybody who has nothing to bother him. Of course he had a girl, and while calling on her one evening, she played “Hiawatha” for him. He thought it was a kind of a decent tune, so he asked her to play it again. He went home whistling that tune; that night he dreamed of it; and in the morning went to his office with the same tune in his mouth. During the day his lips were puckered up as though he had eaten a green persimmon and still he whistled the same tunc. He continued till his jaws ached and his tongue grew tired, yet he could not stop. That night he went to a vaudeville performance where he heard the piece played by some kind of a patent noise manufacturer with a long name. The next night he went to a summer garden where he heard “Hiawatha” played by a German band. The night after that he went to a play where the orchestra played it between acts. By this time he could not work, his mind wandered, and his eyes grew dull. His employers fired him, and his girl bounced him because when she had said something about his not loving her any more, he answered her thinking of the tunc that he was so tired of it. After this happened he took his money and made for the woods where he thought the tune would not lie heard. Here he got along pretty well for a time until one evening the farmer’s daughter played “Hiawatha” on the family organ. Then lie was lost, but went deeper into the woods where there were fewer people, but even there he heard it either whistled or played. By this time he thought the wind hummed Hiawatha, the birds sang it, the frogs croaked it. the sheep bleated it, and the roosters crowed it. His mind was nearly gone. The terrible tune give him no rest. He could think of nothing else. One day he tried to drown his troubles and himself in the lake, but just as lie went to take the fatal leap a breeze sprang tip and rippling the surface of the water, made music which the despairing man took to be Hiawatha.” Soon he became a raving maniac, tearing his hair and otherwise spoiling his looks whenever lie heard music. He was taken to an insane asylum where he became one of the wildest of the patients. lie would sit quietly in the cell when there was no noise, but upon hearing the slightest sound, he would jump up and howl, and on hearing music, would rave, beat his head against the wall and break everything breakable in sight. He was not in this condition long, for one day, being unusually quiet he was taken out for a walk. He and his guard were going along the wall fronting tin the street when there broke forth from the opposite side of the wall, the strains of that worn out tune, wrung from a clanging hurd3’-gurdy. The lunatic gave one ear-splitting yell, like that of a lost dog on a moon-lit night, and fell headlong to the ground as dead as the tune that killed him. S. '04. 10 Ol'K HIGH SCHOOL is most fortunate in possessing an Orchestra and a Mandolin Cluo. both excellent and much appreciated. No organization in the school has deserved more praise than these two societies, and praise which they have freely received. The director of these organizations the Instructor in German is a man who is not only thoroughly acquainted with such work, but one able to keep up the spirit and interest of the members in their practice and performance. The members have shown the loyalty to their school by furnishing music for the Friday morning singing, for all literary entertainments, and for other events, such as minstrels, class plays and special programmes. Not only is each member a good musician, but there exists among them good feeling and harmony, which is necessary to the success of any musical organization. 11 High School Musicale In the High School Assembly Room, on the evening: of March 24, l‘H)4t was held one of the most enjoyable musical events ever given in the history of the school. The organizations taking part were the High School Mandolin t lub. Orchestra. Chorus and the Aeolian ’I rio. The following was the programme : PART I. 1. Waltz—“Ureda” 2.

She entered the Danville High School in 1900. Although each of the three years spent in High School was interrupted by illness, so faithful and persistent was her woik that she would have graduated with her class in June. Miss Watkins became a Christian early in life, and united with the Congregational Church. She was ready for every good work. Her life was always pure and simple, modest, unassuming. •• Sin is not di-;ul -tin- child of our affection Hut pone into that school Where .he tio Ion re r needs our j« or pr« -tretiott.

H. S.! •The o is pronounced like o in owl. CLASS H ISTORY VENTS long anticipated with pleasure often lose tlwir glamour a few hours before they occur; thus the long hoped-for, proud and happy day of enrollment in the High School arrived, hut the faces of the incoming class were strangely out of harmony with those of the older students, laughing and asking each other how-many credits they had in geometry and physics. Geometry and physics! Such names to the Kreshie, ignorant of everything! So. perhaps it is not surprising that when, four years ago, we entered the Danville High School we acted a little timid ; got mixed up. walked on our tip toes down the halls, gazed wide-mouthed at some Senior joking with a teacher, or sat and dreamed of the time when we would be Seniors, and could walk around the assembly room as big as you please.” And so the first year passed, save for a little ripple created by one of our class tying for first in the County Oratorical Contest. As Sophomores our importance as students of the D. H. S. had increased, for we could lord it over the Freshmen at least. Not only that; the genius plant of ’04 had flowered, and songsters, actors, actresses, orators and debaters took their place upon the rostrum and commanded the attention of even the Seniors by their wisdom, charm and individuality. According to precedent, we organized as Juniors. Following in the old groove, we paid our compliments toourelders at a masquerade, which was the talk of the town (until we were Seniors), and were entertained by them, when we laughed at their jokes, smiled at the lK ys, passed compliments on the girls, and altogether managed to come out unharmed. Choosing the class colors was one of the important deeds done by our class. Blue and white came into prominence quite conspicu- — 21 ou-ly at the 03 commencement, when, after the Seniors had made their initial bow, the balcony singers of 04. under the glorious folds of the class banner, began to carol from the heights ; and the Seniors, taking the hint, retired under cover of the noise, while the Juniors passed into that mysterious, impenetrable and impregnable realm of Seniordom. Seniors! Seniors!! Yes. and as such we set the pace for the High School in such matters as class organization,money making for Tin; Mhim.kv. good times, good yelling, and good behavior; and in such gentlemanly sjmrts as class football, color lights, defense of Hallowe’en refreshments, and hav-rack snitching at Catlin. The class football games were the result of the rivalry between the boys, but as both games left the classes on equal footing, the girls settled the dispute at a basketball game, and the authority of the Seniors was at last established. The girls could not help being infested with the class spirit that caused the Juniors, by foul means or delirious actions, to try to steal the Senior refreshments; that made the same Juniors tie a Senior between two telephone posts; which also nerved the Seniors to a superhuman defense f ’ 4 pumpkins, ice cream, cake and fair ladies, granted them the pleasure of riding to Danville from Catlin at the expense of the Juniors, and gave them gentleness and courage to face the frowning glances of disapproving teachers for coaching the Senior basketball girls. Of course all evidence of former disagreements was left at home at the Junior and Senior receptions, where, as the unusual sometimes happens, wc enjoyed ourselves. It is a saying that when any of the Seniors were on the programme their wisdom would so till the air with magic that even Willie Shakespeare, up at the north end of the Assembly Room, would turn to behold the second Daniel Webster, and, in reverence to the towering intellect, slightly incline his head and mutter. Ich gehe zuruck und setz mich bin !' But now we stand at the gateway of a new life, beyond which the world is waiting to greet us—with smiles and extended arms, or with jeers and a cold shoulder. For four long years we have rested under the wing of our High School, and have had our joys and quarrels together; but now we will go forth, some to one calling, others to another, each doing his little task as a student of American citizenship. One part of our life is over and another scoring pole is past, but before we go let us bow our heads in remembrance of the pleasures and sorrows wc have passed, for as time passes the latter will be healed and forgotten, leaving only the brightness. Farewell, old School! The voices of other classes will now echo in your halls, and we will he forgotten : but you will be remembered by this, the class of 1W4 1 22 PROPHECY Result of tHe Vote NE DAY after school the Seniors met in Miss Grant’s recitation room to vote and compile statistics for The Mrdt.ry. It took about fifteen minutes to do it, and, by actual measurement, the temperature of the room rose from 70° to 85° F. It was in the cold weather of last February, too, showing how much “hot air must have been emitted by these warm members. As the recording of the results was necessarily very fast and hard work, we ask that you overlook any slight error that might have crept in. The result is as follows: © Most popular boy. Most popular girl. Best natured boy. Best natured girl. Best looking boy. Thinks he is. Most religious. Meekest, Prettiest Girl, Thinks she is. Most conceited. Biggest sport. Nerviest boy. Nerviest girl. Loutzenhiser Madge Gundy. Cecile Alles Johnson Dollie Cox, Ada Duncan Tillotson - - - - Irwin Addie Eggleston. Snyder - Lew Gass Tie Between Six The Whole Six Ethel Young Coster. Olson - Brand Hazel Doan Earl Hoseberry got the unanimous support of the class for the laziest. Twenty-two think that Cecile Alles is the funniest, but Loutzenhiser comes in a close second with nineteen votes. The other votes were divided on Coster and Gertrude Lyman. The vote for the best athlete was a close race between Hazel Tenncry, Charlotte Nydegger and “Tilde” Irwin, as each received about fifteen votes. It is thought by most of the class that Holmes is the windiest, but Lillie Schneider and Mabel Bushong also received honorable mention. For the best bluffer Irwin ran away ahead of the ticket, receiving thirty-nine. while the next nearest was two. for Mart Gass. Simmons was placed as the most studious. In the line of food, the class likes most everything, fudges and pic tying for first, while fruit, picnic lunches, “weinies,” and limburger were also mentioned.

Prominent among these is the class of 1905. When Freshmen, we were diligent; when Sophomores, persevering; and as Juniors we lead all other classes in energy and execution. We are tied together by a strong bond of class spirit, knowing well that, since we are few in number, if we are not all tied together by some agency or other, we are apt to be each tied separately (like a certain Senior last Hollowecn '. We have l een tried in the athletic balance and were not found wanting. In spite of the one point which we lost to the Seniors in the basket ball game, three of the five players on the first team were 05 girls, and also two of the subs. Twice our boys showed the stalwart Seniors that weight was a minor factor in a foot ball game in which pluck and spirit were also a figure. The fact that we have gained nearly all the places of honor on the year’s literary programmes sufficiently heralds our literary ability. We are the only Junior class having a strong organization, and taking an active part in the life of the school. The different enterprises undertaken by the Junior Class this year have been quite successful, and as we hope, beneficial to the school as well as our class. Indeed, we would be an unworthy part of so excellent a school, if we did not strive to benefit her in every possible manner. Intending to follow the splendid example of the ’04 Class in publishing an annual, we have chosen our staff this year for the 1905 Medley. We fully realize how difficult it will be to make our Mkdi.kv excel that of ’04. and so we are beginning this year to prepare for an annual which we hope will bring much credit to our class and to our school.

(§ ,N OCTOBER 20. 1003, a jolly crowd of High school students met in Mr. Martin's room, for the purpose of organizing the Sophomore class. These worthy pupils has credits rang ing from ten and one-half to twenty-one, but as this was the first attempt at forming such a society, the Juniors and Seniors looked rather scornful, thinking them too inferior to organize In spite of this and other difficulties they formed a mutual brotherhood, elected their officers and chose their committees. A second meeting was called on November forth, and crimson and black were chosen a their colors. The Sophomores certainly have a class of which to be proud. Who are they? you cry. They are the illustrious students of the class of 1900. Helen Wick, our much admired president, with her energy and ambition for the welfare of her class, i a very successful leader. Present indications arc that Jessie Phipps will be the valedictorian of the class of ! � . Carl lilankenburg, Timothy Truck, will be seen upon the stage if he continues to cultivate his dramatic talent. Bessie Pugh seems to have a soaring ambition to write stories. Although she has just begun, we feel positive that she will achieve success. Sara I.ayton is an amateur artist. Her drawings deserve much praise, and the class wishes her a successful career in her chosen art. Our class has been well represented on the honor roll, the fact that there have been so few failures proves that the majority are industrious and brilliant students. As you see we did our best to imitate our elders, by organizing, electing officers and selecting class colors. Yet a social function was lacking. This want was tilled, when upon New Years Eve, our class was entertained at the home of Jeanette Hill. The old year was fast leaving us and a new one was to come; so. with the dying of the old year, we resolved to faithfully do our duties, in order that the future years the I). II. S. would have no cause to be ashamed of the class of 1906. True, this is but the second year of our High school life, still we look forward with pleasure, to the accomplishment of worthy deeds and to winning the love and respect of our teachers and fellow students. We hope that you will pardon our self-conceit, yet wv feel sure that no Sophomore class can hope to attain greatness exceeding that of 1906. FresHman Class Coi.ok Grkkn. Motto and Yki.i.: Danville High School! 1907! All good Freshies go to heaven! Class History As a sign that the genius and worth of the Freshman class is known and appreciated it is fitting that in this, the first year book of the D. H. S.. some space should be devoted to the history of one of the most promising aggregation of students that ever entered the High School. To begin, on September 14. 1903, we noticed in the vicinity of the school numerous persons presumably from the country the general characteristics being wide open mouths and eyes expressive of astonishment who lent to the air freshness and to the ear a suspicion of that color most dear to the Irishman’s heart. Such was the Freshman class on the first day and for several succeeding days. However, mighty encounters with the “gang” will wear olT most any color, and it reduced the size of the Freshman’s head till he could wear his own hat once more. So in time he ceased to ask questions and followed the example of the Junior, who. with his little cap on the back of his head and his pipe between his teeth, saunters down the street toward Sackett's or Meit .ler’s. Although as yet unorganized, the class has already shown its ability, by playing the Sophs to a tie in foot ball, and by placing several very promising men on the 04 track squad. We see in their class material which may yet be a source of pride to all members of the class of ’07. and as well to the whole High School.

H, S. 11 is seen in the class receptions, bobsled, hayrack and masquerade parties. These commence early in the fall as soon as the classes have been well organized. Should the first of these be a hayrack ride, a favorite method is to go some moonlight night to the home of some member who lives in the country, where a spread furnishes all necessary diversion. But of all the events of the season the class receptions are the favorites. At these it has been the general custom to arrange a literary contest or a musical for the entertainment of the guests, but they usually end with a dance. During the winter, bobsled and masquerade parties are popular. By this time a great deal of class spirit has been aroused, and they are entered into with vim. Toward the end of the year, as the “good old summer time” approaches, an all-day picnic is given on the first suitable occasion, thus rounding out the class life and leaving a store of memories for alumni reminiscences.

February 14, 03, which was somewhat later than usual, as it has been the custom for the class receptions to be given in the tail. The rooms were beautifully decorated in the Junior and Senior colors.

The subject was: Can You Open the Gates of Knowledge? 05-04 JT'IIK Seniors and faculty were delightfully en-W tertained by the Juniors on March 4. ‘04. This was an event not to be soon forgotten and it proved successful beyond all hopes. Both classes were well represented, there being about fifty guests present.

LacK of Gambling Instinct I Ellen! oh Ellen!” At the sound of Her name a wcary-looking girl appeared at the doorway. Her body slender and dainty, seemed emaciated, and her complexion which once might have been delicate was sallow and sunken at the cheeks, while her eyes and hair had the same worn-out look. As she entered the room her step-mother exclaimed: “Ellen! why haven’t you washed those lamp-chimneys? There you are at that book again!” she said scornfully, “as if you hadn’t gone to school a year longer than the rest of the girls. You ought to be satisfied with that without poring over that French reader, every spare moment, when you won’t ever know anyone who can speak a word of French.” Ellen quietly laid down the book, washed the chimneys and then inquired. “Is there anything else I can do?” Why don’t you look around for yourself without asking me as if you were helpless. Ellen knowing this to be only a negative way of saying that there was nothing more, left the room and immediately became absorbed in her book. li Meanwhile two neighbors sat in a farm house near by, gossiping energetically. “I’ll bet my biggest turkey that Jim Haddock don’t marry Ellen Carr. Jim's a mighty well appearin' feller and first thing you know he’ll be courtin’ around with one of them University girls. Ellen ain’t the pretty girl she gave promise of being, with her yellow hair and blue eyes. There is them that says it’s all this Mrs. Carr’s doings. You ask me how long she’s been married to Mr. Carr? I et me see, two, three, nine years, yes nine years—and you’d never thought it either. His first wife was just the opposite to this one, so gentle aud pleasant. She was born and bred in the city and they do say she went in a tony crowd. Well, one summer she came out here to recuperate— that’s what you call it, ain’t it? She and John took a powerful fancy to one another. As was only right her folks didn’t want her to marry a farmer, but when she went back to the city she found her old friends milk and water beside John, so they up and married, after he’d promised her folks that he’d always treat her kind, and keep plenty of help. John he never went back on his promise, but after they'd been married three years, a year or so after little Ellen’s birth, she just sort of withered away and one June morniti’ she died.” At this juncture the good woman turned up one corner of her apron to wipe her eyes out, and continued: “Little Ellen was as dainty a mite as you ever seen and her father set a lot by her. He was awful cut up about Minnie’s death, and didn't begin to perk up for about seven years. The first person he saw was Jane Patterson, who had been ready for him well nigh onto five years, so in another year they were married. Jane didn't approve of the gentle way in which Ellen had been brought up, so the minute she set foot in the house, little Ellen’s troubles began. Jane is certainly thrifty, so the help was sent away, aud John said there wasn’t any reason why she and Ellen couldn't do the work alone. I. for one, don’t approve. You cau see what Ellen has become, from a jolly happy child. I think she’ll gradually fade away like her mother done before her. ill The Carr’s were at their midday meal when a buggy was driven to the gate. A middle-aged man quickly jumped out and approached the house. “Why, it’s Uncle George Lane,” Ellen exclaimed. “So it is,” her father agreed and hurried to the door to greet his brother-in-law. “I was in Htl(l °“ville on business,” Mr. Lane explained, “and thought I’d drive over to see you and incidentally take Ellen back home with me.” Take Ellen with you!” Mrs. Carr exclaimed; “why, what for? I need the child here and besides she hasn't any clothes.” Mr. Lane wisely dropped the matter but later when alone with Mr. Carr, said: “John, look here, do you know you’re killing that girl?” “What do you mean? Killiug her? ” the other asked. Yes, she’s not at all well. You can see that by looking at her. I never saw so great a change In my life.” I haven’t heard her complaining,” Mr. Carr replied. No. and you never will. Her disposition is exactly like her mother’s - 33 - ami she was never known to complain even when she suffered most. Now John.” he continued urgently, “you know you’re going to let me take her hack for a good visit with my girls.” Well. well, we’ll see,” was the only satisfaction he could obtain; but he had set Carr to thinking and that night he announced: George, I guess I’ll let Ellen go with you after all; perhaps a visit would do her good.” It was so seldom that the master of the house commanded anything, that Mrs. Carr forgot to object, and so the next day with a good sized check in her purse for clothes and other finery. Ellen departed with her uncle. We usually hear of the unwelcome reception of country cousins, but Ellen was an exception; and from the time they met her at the depot, till she left them, her way was made as pleasant as possible. There was only one unpleasant matter on the girl's mind and that was the fact, when she had come to the city in which the University Jim Haddock attended, was situated, she had written him a note announcing her arrival. No word had come and she had only seen him once and then on the street with another girl. At last she decided that any worrying was useless and foolish and made a great effort to enjoy herself which was rewarded by success. After she had been there several weeks her cousins issued invitations for a large reception, to which many of the University students were bidden. “Heavens!” Haddock exclaimed, when his invitation arrived, “what ever will she think of me for not calling sooner after she wrote me the 04 O Seniors, the gem of the High School, The class of the year Nineteen Four, The shrine of each Freshman's devotion, The pride of each true Sophomore. Thy mandates make heroes assemble When sternly you stand ready to fight: Thy colors make Juniors to tremble. Your glorious Dark Blue and White. —A. I). note. I wonder if she will understand how busy these “fraf affairs keep me; but there is nothing to do but make the best of it and go to the reception.” The large parlors were ablaze with lights when Haddock arrived rather late. As lie entered he saw a group of dress-suits in one corner, while once in a while a tiny bit of white showed between the black coats. ‘‘May I ask who the girl in the corner is.” he inquired of a friend standing near. ‘‘Some friend of the Lane's” was the reply, would you care to be presented?” Certainly.” said Haddock, never dreaming that the popular young lady would be his old friend. Ellen. always sweet but plain. As he approached her, � ho arose and holding out her hand cordially said: ‘‘How are you James?” at the same time explaining to the ones nearest, we arc old friends.” Whether an old friend or not. each black coated figure departed, feeling itself superfluous, leaving at last, only James and Ellon. sitting alone. What was the outcome of this tctc we can only judge by a conversation between our old Hudsonville friends. Well. one of them was saying. I guess I'll have to give up that nice turkey, but you can’t persuade me that it was a fair bet, for how did I know that that very day Mr. Lane was coming to take Kllen back, and that her cousins were going to fix her up to look like she ought to. or how did I or how could 1 know what possibilities there was in her? My,but I never seen such a change in a creature. But I don't mind giving you the turkey since two such nice appearin' voting people are joined in the bonds of holy wedlock. —Etna Kobkv, '03 D A N V I L L E Here’s to Danville, dear old mother.

Perhaps that would be the best policy for us to follow. So long as the record at the end of the season is taken as a measure of ability, a hard luck story, no matter how well founded, cannot hope to meet with approval or to gain favor. Therefore we will not offer one. To place the blame for last season’s defeat on the gridiron would be a hard matter, and besides that, it would be unfair. The team was very poorlj supported, had a hard schedule, and owing to injuries to players the entire eleven did not line up together in any one game throughout the season. While the prospects for next year’s team are not exceptionally bright, yet with hard work and the unatnimous support of the school, the D. II. S. can and should turn out a winning team. 40 BasKet Ball a IIK interest in Girls’ Athletics this year seems stronger than last, owing to this being its second year and because it is no longer a mere novelty, hut has taken a definite place in the interests of the school. The first girls’ basket-ball team was organized last year by Blanche Cowap and Etna Robey, who were respectively captain and manager. By pluck and perseverence, it was clearly shown that a girls basket-ball team could and would l c supported. This year fifteen girls began practicing in September and the outlook was a more favorable one. There was some fine material to pick from, and the team was an exceptionally strong one. On December 15. an interesting game was played between the Seniors and Juniors, the game resulted in a victory for the Seniors, by a close score of 15 to 14. The first team was selected late in December and all began to work hard in preparation for the first game. Too much praise cannot be given to the substitutes, who. although they rarely played in a game, yet continued practicing, thus assisting and strengthening the regular team. There was a certain spirit of loyalty and self-sacrifice shown, that is not met with everywhere. The diligence with which the girls have worked is due largely to the efficient coaching of Miss Tupper. Mr. Sayers and Mr. Ihrig, who devoted much time and effort in developing a good team. On the whole we feel that this season has been a successful one, and the prospects for a winning team next year are certainly bright. — 41 — ©G- 03-04 BasKetball T earn ■oe. Captain. ........

Fred Brown, our captain and star of 1901, and lately a member of Englewood High School Track Team ottered his services as coach. On April 23. an inter-class meet gave the Seniors one more victory over the Juniors, and served as a tryout for the regular team. In a dual meet at Vermilion drove, April 30, the (Juakers won by a narrow margin of three points. Score: Vermilion Academy, 58; Danville, 55. Some good records were made by Danville athletes, especially Flino Roseberry, in the standing broad jump, and in the mile by Fletcher McFarland. The victory of Danville’s half mile relay team over the crack Academy team was almost as good as winning the meet. The Vermilion County Meet had been scheduled for Hoopeston, May 7. On the eventful day, however, rain interposed and the officials were unable to pull olT more than five events, and so they declared it no meet. While Georgetown High School was in the lead when it was called off. it is safe to say that the Danville team would have made them hurry to hold first place. 44 TRACK TEAM 19 03 ROBERT BOOKWALTER, 03. - - .

We will not attempt to detail all the magnificent head and foot work displayed in that contest, beyond a few words on individual stars. Chief among these was “Mississippi” Love, for the Seniors. and Robert Brown, for the Juniors. Lucius of the lengthy limbs, repeatedly called forth the wildest applause by his daredevil dives, into, over and through the Junior line. This has been attributed by envious Juniors to his superhuman length of eight feet nine inches, but all fair-minded critics admit that Mississippi ” is the premier fullback of the Middle West. In the first half Brown, of the ’OS warriors, made a nerve racking run of two hundred yards around the Senior left end. Exhausted by yelling for Hob. the 'OS team forgot to finish the score, and the Seniors, throng i Love, Holmes and Olson the Swede, scored a touchdown immediately after, tying the score. 5 to 5. The second half was all the Seniors', but they failed to score again on account of lack of time. ’03 Class Football Team Captain, ARTHUR BUTLER Coach, j.GEORCJK KNEIRIUM Manager, I eft End.

And it came to pass that the Juniors perceived it would be good that they make a pilgrimage to Catlintown. 2. Therefore they bargained for a hayrack, and on a cool November eve, when it was about the seventh hour, they came one unto another at the “ Proxy's home. 3. And lo. they piled themselves and their possessions on that rack, but it fell not. for verily it was a good one. 4. And it so happened that certain of their number were sore afraid lest they be disturbed on their journey by the Senior j eople ; 5. For they had incurred the wrath of the Senior goat by butting in at an 04 party. . Hut one McCusker said. “ Lo, it is I. be not afraid.” and he fired his little popgun to reassure their faint hearts. 7. Then did Chief Four EyesGreenebaum arise, saying, as he kicked the rack toshow hissavage nature, “Calm yourselves, sweet friends. Before many days shall we dine off the Senior goat. ’ S. And they applauded mightily, for in sooth it seemed pleasant to think about. 0. And as they proceeded on their way. they had not yet gone afar off when they were met by certain of the Senior people. 10. But the Seniors were few. for they were not yet collected together, and they did the Juniors no harm. 11. Nevertheless, the bold children of 05 stuck to their rack like a Hea sticketh close on a dog's back, and they ran their horses till they were well nigh past Tilton. 12. And one of them. “Nary,” broke the record for the sitting high yell, but it mattered not. for all perceived that he was, in truth, harmless. 13. Then did the Senior people plan and conspire amongst themselves. 14. And it seemed good that they should go to Gatlin. lr . But one man of the rabble, perceiving their intentions, warned them, saying, “ Ye shall not bother my daughter's people.” — 60 — K� . But they scoffed him and gave him a few Love taps, and immediately he closed his head and went his way. 17. And lo, they boarded a trolley car and found there a Junior— Netty”- who had missed the rack. 18. And they took good care of him, that he might not fall off the car and hurt himself. 1 . But behold, at Catlin the con. would not suffer him to be taken off, and so he returned on the car to “ that dear old Danville.” 20. Presently the Senior people came to the church feast where the Juniors were doing their worst. 21. And, verily, when “Wun Lung Lammy came out and said, “ You don’t see us run. a tomato at that instant began to run all over his front. And then the Seniors held their peace. 22. The ’04 goat then sung a man’s baby to sleep with the tune, “ Hi-lee. hi-lo,” and the man thanked them, perceiving their kindness of heart. 23. And after drinking many jars of milk they went on their way. 24. And verily they telephoned to get the rack ready, for they were coming. 25. And the keeper believed them, for he had been paid. 2 . Then did Seniors pile themselves on that rack, and it fell not, and it was about the eleventh hour. 27. Now, the Juniors came back to town on the show car, and they put bluecoats on the bridge to wait for those Seniors. 28. But, behold, the Senior people caught on, and, turning the horses loose, they ran over to the railroad bridge and entered the town in peace. 29. But one unwise Soph, followed the rack, and they took him to the kopje, and made him a speech, and turned him loose. And, verily, the bluecoats waited on the bridge till sunrise for the goat to cross. 30. But he crossed not, for verily he was already across and had been resting from his toil since about the second hour. 31. And thus, disciples of ’04, you may see how it payeth not for children of sin, in co-operation with Satan, to cast their wits against those of loyal men, who stand up for righteousness and goodness, for verily I say unto you, these people will forever be accursed, and shall gain their just deserts, even as they have wished to torment others, as I have spoken. il — Long Lucius I ovc lost he light of his life, Heigho. my hearties, and merrily. .

That’s what they told us up at Hoopeston, anyway, and I guess they ought to know, for Casey is the deputy sheriff up there, and it seems that he has worked up quite a reputation. On May 6, a crowd of about thirty, including the track team, went to Hoopeston to attend the Oratorical Contest that night and the Track Meet the next day. “Doc’’ Brown, the trainer, had a time keeping his team in that night, for they wanted to see the contest. A lKHit nine o'clock he made a search of the town and rounded up all except McFarland and Monk” Rose berry, but search where he might, nowhere could lie find those two. At last he went to their room to wait for them and there they were in bed and asleep. This made a profonnd impression on “Doc” and it is said that he gave expression to several choice bits of sentiment. The rest of the team did not go to sleep so easily, and when the cheering crowd came from the opera house, where Holmes had just won the silver cup for I). H. S., there was a wild rush for the windows, several of the “great athletes” sprinting clown the front hall attired in a “belt, a necktie, and a sweet smile. while they waved their blankets out the window and yelled. After this disturbance, they gradually quieted down. The clock struck four. “Time for Furrow to run’round the block, drawled some fellow, but Brown run his elbow into the fellow’s ear. and put him to sleep again. At seven, the rest of the “bunch from Danville arrived, and took up headquarters on the sidewalk right under the window of the team’s room, as the team was locked in. Things went along all right until Van Ktten came to the window and announced: “Gentlemen. I wish to spit.” There was a mad stampede below to get out of the way, and not wishing again to be in such danger, they went upstairs. Until dinner they held a social session, the girls playing the piano while the whole crowd sang. The meet in the afternoon was spoiled by the rain and so was called off. About eight o’clock the Hoopeston fellows bunched up and came down the street; but this seemed to be their limit. So we proceeded to give them some instruction in celebrating,—and we succeeded fairly well, considering our disadvantages. Casey put out our first bonfire, but we built three more down the street. Casey tried to put out one of them with his umbrella, but the umbrella caught fire, contrary to all rules of etiquette. It being about train time we went down to the station, and gave a few more yells, while some amused themselves by throwing eggs. While a fellow with a large tin megaphone was doing his worst with it, one of the eggs accidentally found its way into the instrument, and decorated the gentleman’s face in a very tasty manner. Another egg, missing its mark, hit him on his manly bosom and completed the job. Again Casey Butt-ed in. and as the train pulled away, we presented him with the remainder of the ammunition. Yet he did not seem to appreciate the gift. Once more we yelled for our hosts, and amid the noise and confusion of the departing train, and softened by the increasing distance between us. we could hear the Hoopestonites as they yelled: “rah-rah-rah! rah-rah-rah! rah-rah-rah!

Irwin Why. there w as a |w lo game last night, and so I really couldn't say. Teacher “Very well. then. I might have known that. Mr Patton, you didn't celebrate last night, suppose you attempt some kind of a recitation. Payton is honest tin recitations), and. standing up like a little mail, so that everyone may see his nobby new pants, says: Well, to he right frank with you. (but here he is interrupted l� y a series of snores executed in somnambulistic style by Snyder on the front seat.) He fore he can proceed Simmons arises and favors the class with a lengthy discourse on Missionary Work in China, while the rest of the dignitied Seniors slumber peacefully. After this spasm is over, Monk Rose berry being the first to recover, asks an intelligent (?) question about King Arthur, to conceal from the teacher the fact that he hasn't even looked at the lesson. The teacher calls on “Colonel” Trueblood for the answer. Colonel rises slowly and gracefully from his seat as becomes the venerable president of the '04 class, fixing his grave and august glance on the front l oard where the notice says, make up your lessons Thursday. he relieves himself of numerous weighty thoughts and double jointed words, and resumes his scat amidst wild applause from Edith Roggcss and Addic Eggleston. in English VIII Scbkb—Recitation k x m The teacher nods her approval of the recitation just made and calls on Love for the poets of the Elizabethan age. Lucius leans forward in a meditative way as he hastily examines his “notes. He then arises, looks about to see that none are insulting his dignity by laughing shakes both legs carefully to remove the wrinkles from his pants, sticks his hand in his pockets, and makes a brilliant attempt to do the stand-in? high bluff,—but fails. He then volunteers the information that he can write out the outline he failed on the month before. The teacher was visibly overcome by this and even the step out in the hall rose in tiers. Choking with emotion the teacher continued: • I am glad that, after pursuing your studies in the I). H. S. for seven years, you are at last about to catch up with them. And Lucius, happy at the unexpected compliment, ambles over to the board and writes. A form in the back of the room then begins to ascend like the smoke from a slowly burning trash pile, and Hazel Blake is heard beginning a carefully prepared meditation on “ Platonic Love, in Comparison With Modern Affection. Before she is done Coster relieves the tension by suddenly bawling out as if he had just had a funny dream, and the class joining in, almost drowns out the bell, which rings just a-Simmons proposes a toast, ‘‘Chorus girls I have known. —6 2- SEE THE CHAS.
