We, the class of ’22, do hereby sol- emnly swear that the above is a true statement of our last will and testimony Signed and sealed this fourteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen hundred and twenty-two. ¥ SEAL CLASS OF ’22 Nicknames given the “Lodgers” by the conductor on the I.

Miss Lamb: “Why Ralph, I should think you would be popular with the girls.” Ralph Stone: “I am through the week, but 1 can’t find any of them on Sunday.” Zelda: “Where do you stay when you stay in town?” Leslie J. : “In bed most of the time.” THE CLASS OF 1 922 While the historian of the largest class which has up to this time, graced the corridors of D. T. H. S. t is a very modest and unassuming person, never- theless she insists that the membership of this aggregation represents the great- est array of beauty, wit, and worth ever assembled within the walls of any high school building. In proof of this fact the following notes and illustrations are presented for the consideration of the careful readers. Each individual is given a paragraph expressing in plain snd unadorned language the merits pe- culiar to himself. The sweet and altogether lovely face which adorns this para- graph is but a hint of the full-flowered beauty of the gentle maiden she has grown to be. Modest, sweet and win- some are words entire- ly too tame to describe this young lady who has been honored by teachers, classmates, and historian by being placed first in this hall of everlasting fame. Ah! the soul of the athlete shines forth from those in- nocent eyes, from the intellectual forehead radiates promise of early self-control and command; the firm chin shows a determination to win while the humor- ous mouth shows fair- ness and optimism in defeat. But need we go into ancient history to prove the point that the subject under discussion is a brilliant star in basket- ball and a shining light in track? No — he has attained for himself a pin- nacle secure and inaccessible. Genius and intelligence fairly beam from the face of this infant prodigy. One need only glance at it to discern how distinguish ed and notorious a per- sonality can be develop- ed, how commanding and capable a spirit, one that has been a help to every project the school has undertaken and a worker from start to finish. Ah, so darling! you exclaim; yea, he still is a joyous and irrepressible youngster. He effervesces wit and humor. He entertains those within a radius oi several feet of him with jest and poetry (also candy). Ingenious, resourceful, and witty are epithets too mild of expression to do him justice. Webster himself is incapable of justly characterizing him You must become acquainted with this young man to appreciate his gifts and accomplishments. Yea, the printer’s “Angel.” Verily his visage warrants the revision of the ancient epithet, for it in truth proclaims that his life was destined for the role of guardian over the An nual of 1922; to see that its pages were pro- perly written and that none of the world famous manuscripts, the work of an infinite amount of gen- ius, be destroyed or tampered with. All hail the second Cleopatra! Give homage to the in- fant who has grown in to a persuasive and com pelling coquette. She has the masculine world at her feet — one ap- pealing glance from those soul-ful eyes and presto! another victim becomes her never-tiring slave. When before was such versatility in evidence beginning in infancy and develop- ing by leaps and bounds up to the present time. We find the one-time precocious babe, now the master of all musi- cal instruments, includ- ing the human voice, and a reader and impersonator of strik- ing reality and dazzling brilliance. How mistaken the proverb which gives this beautiful child a medal for homeliness in later life! Have we not proof of the contrary? Has not the cunning and unusual child here shown, grown into a girl of such charm, beauty, and grace that even the fairest wither in comparison to her? A diplomat and a superman — surely these and more are titles to be applied to such as he who daily, unruffled, and triumph- ant assists his two weak- er sisters on the highway leading to their dearly beloved and highly res- pected school. Healthful, serene, buxom lass, one de- cidedly surpassing her predecessor both in courage of enterprise and strength of will. She is a maiden well versed in the art of con- versation. Her motives aie strong and her ac- complishments are in propoition thereto. A face truthfully indicative of the well-meaning, honest, and progressive farmer he has grown to be. Such he is now and though very reticent it is sure that unknown capabilities be hidden hidden within him. His life will always be one of peace, quietness, and prosperity. Among the members of this class is a tall and exceedingly well muscled young man whose fond parents spent so much time in looking atfer his food and clothing that no time was left in which to make a visit to the photographer. Bi t no picture of childhood days is needed to show the character which beams from his countenance. If you needs must have an introduction you will find a late view of his mug in the early pages of this book. How wonderfully faithful and pro- tective an advocate of chivalry, this mild-fac- ed, sweet-eyed infant has become. He is brave and bold, vali- antly facing danger to save the fairer sex from fright. (For reliable proof, see a certain dark haired, dark-eyed Sophomore). Artistic, aesthetic; one whose fame both as an artist, ably vouched for by the faculty, and as a singer (for proof see the stu- dents) has traveled far beyond the extent of his wanderings. His con- certs are advertised in the leading newspapers ell over the country and everywhere one looks are evidences of his handi- work. Of such opulence and importance is she that two post office addresses are necessary to prevent error or mis- carrying of her wide and valuable corres- pondence. One of her important roles in life is that of being guardian to her younger sister. The wizard of Fashion one-over. Let powder puff and mirror be swift in their work. She knows intuitively, she scarcely need glance at the person in question to discern the degree of perfection in dress, be- ing herself at all times faultlessly clothed and groomed. gives you the , immaculately This gleeful child now answers life’s call as an equestrienne. Her passionate love for all living things has de- veloped into devotion to and appreciation of of beautiful horses. She is a master in the saddle daily receives training in the care and handling of her own matchless steeds. to say that the days of chivalry are past and that knighthood is no longer in flower. If such there be, 1 chal lenge him with the liv- ing example, here shown, of one who tho entirely modern, retains the rare art of courtesy and politeness at all times. Her hair so beautiful, and glossy causes all her friends to become green with envy. It apparently arranges it- self in its naturalness, fitting her head like c own. Nor is this all we may say about her, for her character is the cause of as much envy as her hair. A few years ago, the young lady whose likeness should adorn this page as a dew drop adorns a rose, was so wild and skittish a young thing that al! efforts to induce her to remain quiet for a period of sufficient length for her pic ture to be taken proved futile. To dc y she is one of the ornaments of her class, universally well-liked and as docile as a spring lamb For further particulars ask those who know her best. so luxuriant Who dares A perpetual dweller in Elysian fields, a favor obtained by special dispensation of the powers of Mt. Olympus. Fortune smiled when he was born; Pan bequeathed to him the secrets of transforming sighs to music; Venus whisper- ed to him her arts, leaving Cupid in his guardianship, and still unsatisfied, be stowed upon him the gift of good looks. The very youngest in the class, but so mischievous for ali her youth that her fath- er must needs procure the position of chief administrator of discip- line in order to guard her steps aright. Re- sult — 1. She becomes alarmed and hastens to distant Indiana. Result — 2. She returns departure not intended — an accident — further proof of her lack of seasons of experience. Petite brunette with flashing eyes and bewitching ways, win- some and lovable with a countenance showing tenderness, capability, and a gentle dignity. This inadequate descrip- tion, and the merest hint of the person herself in the picture, are given so that you may just have an inkling of her charms and not be totally ignorant when her name is mentioned in the col- urns of the White House society. “Executive Ability’ we see clearly written as the outstand- ing characteristic of of this charming maid. We feel confident that she will be perfect mis- tress of the situation at all times w’hether as the chief ruler in the little kingdom of the country school, or in positions of greater res- ponsibilty and power. This chubby, sweet face has smiled at you from checks since the earliest times. Surely one so intimately acquainted with the in- tricacies attending the care of money would surely become a most wonderfully shrewd and calculating finan- cier. But no — he inclines toward mu- sic with an angle to the conductor s stand. Offers permitting the display of his talent are both urgent and in- cessant. It is with regret that I chronicle the fact that a likeness of the infant features of this charming young lady is not ex- tant. Rumor has it that an attempt was once made to secure a photograph of this little lassie, but whether the lens would not stand the strain or whether the patience of he photographer gave out has never been learned. Suffice il to say that she has survived the per- ils of childhood and has now blossom- ed into one of the fairest flowers of this fair class. Accomplice in the dark ious practice of con- cocting edibles for sale to the trusting, unsus- pecting students of the High School. To her however, must be given the credit that we have thus far survived the many and frequent at- tacks made by Miss Boling and the Cooking Class. and myster- Another hand must needs come to H the assistance of the very humble historian who so well performed the task of seeking out the childhood stories of classmates. One inci- dent of her childhood will suffice. On car- rying home her first re- port card she informed her parents that she had decided not to return to school for the best that her teacher felt dispos- ed to mark on her card was a number consisting of a one and two noughts. Through her long and studious career she has steadily continued to get re- ports as poor as her first one. Because she has been placed last does not signify that she is lacking in merits deserving of earlier no- tice nor does it indi- cate the diminishing vo- cabulary of the his- torian. Rather, this position is one of im- portance and one to be sought after. Do not scientists agree on the psychological advantage of last attention. The one concerned is worthy of this position. Student, humorist, helper, friend, optimist, and worker are cognomens by which she might be ad- dressed and to each of which she might answer with the greatest sincerity and varacity. Need any more be said to add con- viction to the assertion that this group of students just briefly discussed is the most distinguished, the most illustrious in existence? Surely their influence will be felt in all walks of life in mus- ic, literature, art. science, and politics. They will evei stand as beacon lights to aid and encourage those with whom they associate.

The first number was a home talent Comic Opera, “Singbad, the Sailor, which was given on January the fourth. The play was humorous, pleasing, en- tertaining, full of vim, and it moved with celerity. Each actor played his part so well that it was difficult to place one above the other. The second number was given in the High School Auditorium on January I 8th, when Mr. Sidney Landon furnish- ed the program. By reviewing the greatest literary men of the last cen- tury, Sidney Landon has contributed new dignity to the art of impersonation. By the use of wigs, grease paints and a clear, vivid imagination he loses his own identity and is able to give us vivid pictures and reproductions of such men as Mark Twain, Josh Billings, Vic- tor Hugo, Bill Nye, Longfellow, Thack- eray, Kipling, Holmes, etc. Among the best numbers of the course was the concert given by the high school orchestra and band on March the seventeenth. A large part of the success of this was due to the un- tiring efforts of the director, Mr. Merry. The members also displayed much tal- ent and musical ability. The last number of the Lyceum Course was a concert given by the National Male Quartet, which proved to be of high standard They were entertainers as well as musicians of great ability. Their quartet work was especially good. Charles Cox, Lawrence Wickland, Stanley Graham, and Maurice Ivins composed the quar- tet. Cox was the bass singer and di- rector of the organization. Lawrence Wickland sang first tenor. Sacred numbers seemed to be his favorites. The piano solos of Stanley Graham, were a source of pleasure and enter- tainment to the audience. He sang second tenor. The baritone singer was Maurice Ivins. This quartet was enjoyed by all. Indeed, it was one of the most pleasing concerts that was giv- en during the year. “GREEN STOCKINGS” “Green Stockings,” the first play to be given in the new Township High School Auditorium was presented Fri- day night, Dec. 2, before a large and appreciative audience. The play pre- sented the characteristics and peculiar traits of a typical English family. The caste was a well-chosen one and each member acted his part so well that for a time one could imagine himself in England listening to the conversation of real English people. The costum ing showed excellent taste and the make-ups were so good that several times it was necessary to refer to the description of the characters to tell who was who. The stage resembled the inside of a home very much. The furniture was furnished by Mr. G. W. Trigg. Music for the occasion was furnished by the D. T. H. S. Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Merry, and readings were given between acts by Angie Adams and Esther Robinson.

This was one of the best literary events of the year and was well attended. Extempore, essay, and boys and girls’ orations were given in the after- noon and the declamations at night. Dr. H. G. Paul of the University of Illi- nios was the judge. All praise and honor in excess of that which the pupils deserve must go to the faculty who worked so earnestly to make this a success. Mr. Jones trained the con- testants in oratory; Miss Lamb, in es say and girls’ declamation; Mr. Short, in boys’ declamation and Mr. Shapley in extempore speaking. The following was the program; Afternoon Extempore Wilma Troxel Essays The Hardships of Pioneer Life in Piatt County Beatrice Riggins The Social Life of Pioneer Days in Piatt County Leslie James Girls’ Oration The Symmetry of Life_OHve Mansfield Lincoln — A Man Called of God — Myrtle Griffith Builders of Empire Zelda Marvel Boys’ Oration The Heroism of the Unknown Frank Diagger A Vision of War Truman Chiles Boys’ Declamation Greek Joe Eugene Sparrow Mateo Falcone Francis Sparrow Evening Girls Declamation Gray Gamma Sara Haggard The Heart of Old Hickory Gladys Conner Molly May’s Morals__Kathleen Porter For Dear Old Yale Angie Adams A Christmas Present for a Lady Darlene Leischner The Revolt of Mother. _Lucy Marquiss Humoresque Bernice Swartz The Coming of Anne to Green Gab- ler Esther Robinson The winners were Wilma Troxel in extempore speaking; Leslie James in Essay; Myrtle Griffith in Girls’ Oration; Truman Chiles in Boys’ Oration; Eu- gene Sparrow in Boys’ Declamation; and Esther Robinson in Girls’ Declama- tion. COUNTY ORATORICAL CONTEST One of the events of the year in which the proper school spirit was shown and talent displayed, was the Piatt County Oratorical Contest, held in Monticello on April 28th. Our pupils entered the contest with a spirit of eagerness and a strong desire to win places of honor. Much effort on their part was shown and they deserve much praise for the medals they received. The school won second place with sixteen and one-half points, while Mon- ticello won the meet with nineteen points. Myrtle Griffith brought home the gold medal inOirls’ Oration, Esther Robinson and Leslie James won silver medals in Girls’ Declamation and Essay, Truman Chiles and Wilma Troxel won bronze medals in Boys Oration and Extempore, and Eugene Sparrow tied for third place in Boys’ Declamation. Though we didn’t win first place in the contest, we are proud of the talent displayed, of the earnest efforts of the contestants, and of the fact that each one of them brought home a medal. “MERCHANTS’ CARNIVAL” “Come on, let’s go to the Carnival!” This was the popular expression on the night of May I Oth, for that was the night that the Senior class gave the Car- nival to advertise the merchants of De- Land. A very interesting program consisting of eongs, speeches, etc., ad- vertising the different merchants was given. Among the other sources of amusement were the “Art Gallery,” “Crystal Palace,” “Fashion Depart- ment,” as well as Mesdames Trimby and Craig — Fortune Tellers. Pop- corn and candy stand. Fishing Ponds, etc., made it seen like a Fourth of July celebration or a county fair. At this time the popularity contest became one of the questions of the day. (Just who is the most popular couple in the High School?) With all the fun and amusement, we feel that this was a success both to the class and to the merchants whose goods were advertised. CONCERTS WITH MT. PULASKI On March 24th, the High School band and basketball team went to Mt. 1 ulrski to give a consolidated concert and to play a game. The affair was arranged through Mr. Merry, who is the director of the high school band at that place. It was a very enjoyable trip for all who went, although we were de- feated in basketball. A week later on March 3 1 st, the band and team from Mt. Pulaski came here and the program was repeated, even to the losing of the basketball game. The whole venture was a great success however. “BORROWED MONEY” The last work of the Class of ’22, will be the class play given on May 30. The play, “Borrowed Money,” is by the same author as “Claim Allowed,” which was given here a few years ago. We feel that it will be a success and hope that it will be appreciated by the people.

The first party was a masquerade on October I 9th. This was a complete surprise to the boys for the girls carried out their plans very secretly. The party was voted a success by all who were present. Two other parties, ‘birthday parties’ were given on January 20, and March 1 0. The committees for these parties furnished enjoyable entertainment and excellent “eats.’’ The Freshmen and Sophomores have had two parties during the year, the Freshmen being the originators of each one. The first was a sleigh ride and with no comment whatever, we know they had a good time. The second was a picnic at Clark’s cabin. It is not necessary to say any more about it for those few words tell all. Some say it is a sin to study, I never ask them why; But if I sin for studying Physics, I’ll sin until I die. (Frances Garver) Revised Version Mr. Craig is my teacher, I shall not pass. He leadeth me to expose my ignor- ance before my class. Yea, though I study till midnight. I cannot understand History; Surely zeros and twenty-fives Shall follow me all the rest of my day. And I shall dwell in the class of His- tory forever. When you’re foolin’ in the library, An havin’ lots of fun, Alaughin’ and agabbin’ As if your time had come. You’d better watch your corners. And keep kinder lookin’ out, Er the librarian’ll get you, Ef you don’t watch out. (From those who know) Tom A. (In Freshman debate): “Ladies and Gentlemen and my ex- ponents. ’ Miss Lamb “It seems to me that my hair looked awful yesterday. Eva B. : “I didn’t notice that it look- ed any different from what it usually does.’’ Irene says she would have gotten a dress she saw that had real peacock feathers on it, but she thought she al- ready had birds enough. The Boy Your Mother Thinks You Are While walking down a crowded street the other day, 1 heard a little urchin to his comrade turn and say, “Say, Jimmie, do you know I’d be as happy as a clam If I only was the feller that me mudder thinks I am. She thinks I am a wonder and knows her little lad Would never mix wid nuttin that was uglv mean or bad, 1 often sit and wonder how nice ’twould be. Gee Whiz, If a feller was the feller that his mother thinks he is.” So my friends, be yours a life of trial or of undiluted joy. You still can learn a lesson from this small unlettered boy; Don’t try to be an earthly saint with eyes upon a star, Just try to be the fellow that your mother thinks you are. THE FALL TRACK TEAM Back Row — Theodore Holforty, James Trimby, Leslie Adams, Mr. Short. Coach; Ivan Trigg, Theodore Ahlrich. Front Row — Lynn Co , Richard Dresback, Truman Chiles, Harold Liestman, Richard Diegel. DeLand had never taken any interest in track work until the fall of 1920. Track was then in its infancy and De- Land was defeated by Weldon in the track events at the Community Picnic of that year. This fall DeLand de- termined to go into track work with 1 00 per cent pep. A track meet was arranged in connection with the Com- munity Picnic and Weldon, Monticello and DeLand were the three participat- ing schools. The meet consisted of I 00, 440, and 880-yard dashes and a half mile relay race with eight entries. The winning of first place counted five points, second three points and third, one point. In spite of the great effort ex- hibited by our opponents, DeLand took first place with twenty-two points, and Weldon and Monticello tied with seven points each. Lynn Cox won first place for De- Land in the 1 00 yard dash. In the 440-yard run, Truman Chiles took first position and Richard Dresback took third place. Truman Chiles again cap- tured the lead in the 880-yard run and Harold Liestman brought down the third place. DeLand easily won the relay with speed shown by Truman Chiles, James Trimby, Richard Dres- back, Richard Diegel, Ivan Trigg, Theo- dore Ahlrich, Theodore Holforty and Lynn Cox. The Basketball Season This year s basketball season has proven more successful than any pre- ceding season in the history of the De- Land Township High School. Suc- cess in basketball does not mean to be victorious in the majority of games played, but it also means to play the game in the right spirit and if defeated to receive it in the right spirit. The creating of this spirit was due more to the coach, Mr. Short, than to any other factor. He made it distinctly under- stood among the players that if one couldn’t control his temper he would not be permitted to play. He also forbade any actions on the part of the squad that would make the opponents feel other than welcome. He created a friendly feeling between the basket ball team and the opposing team. Many of the opposing teams have said that nowhere have they been more hospit- ably received and royally entertained than in DeLand. The season started out with a game with Weldon and closed with a game with Mt. Pulaski on April 7th. In be- tween these games DeLand played with Farmer City, Mansfield, Kenney, Clin- ton, Monticello, Bement, Argenta, Fish- er, and the Independents. In most of these games DeLand was winner or loser by a close score. When DeLand was beaten the players took their de- feat in good spirit. If there were more of this feeling among the players in any sport, athletics would be less criticized and rr ore promoted. The Pygmy Team Because of the great number of stu- dents in D. T. H. S. who wished to play basketball and yet could not because of their size, the coach organized a “pygmy team.’’ All players on this team weighed less than 1 1 5 pounds. The team consisted of Lowell Reed, Glen (Pee-Wee) Holforty, Winfield Adams, Gordon Adams, Kenneth Dub- son, Kenneth Porter, Raymond Mc- Bride, Lyle Gilmore andWayne McMil- len. They played with the team from the grade school and one game with Farmer City. The players were Fresh- man and Sophomores, and it is from this group, small as they now seem, that the future basketball teams of De- Land will come. The Class Tournament An event that has never before oc- curred in connection with the game of basketball in D. T. H. S., was the class tournament. It was thought that a class tournament would increase the school spirit, so plans were made to that effect. It was arranged so that the Sophomores and the Seniors and the Freshman and Juniors would play the first set of games and then the win- ners and losers in each group would contend for first place. The Seniors easily “walloped” the Sophomores, and likewise the Juniors beat the Freshmen. Then came the big game of the season. The Juniors and Seniors played a close game, but the Seniors won by a small margin. The Sophomores defeated the Freshmen. This gave the follow- ing places in the tournament: Seniors, first; Juniors, second; Sophomores, third; Freshmen, fourth. It is thought that this event will now occur every year. Board vs. Faculty The comedy of the basketball season was the game staged between the high school board and the Faculty. The players on the Board team were Gil- more, Hiett, Porter, Leischner, Dres- back, and McMillen. The Faculty team consisted of Jones, Short, Craig, Morris and Shapley. The game was a joke from start to finish and there was little team work exhibited with the exception of Short and Shapley on the Faculty team. The game finished with a score in favor of the Faculty. Everyone who attended the game was highly entertained by the actions of some of the ones who had never play- ed before. Basketball Squad Harold Liestman — Senior. At the beginning of the basketball season, “Liesy” was again chosen cap- tain of the team, the position he had held successfully the two preceding years. He played forward on the team and many of the best plays were carried through only because of the wonderful ability of the captain not only to plan the play, but also to put it in practice. Frank Diagger — Junior. When Frank started to school last fall scarcely anyone thought of his be- ing a basketball player. When the squad began to practice, Frank came in and took his place at center, as if he had a patent on it. Because of his ability to shoot long field baskets and also because he is able to dodge almost any forward on his way to the goal, Frank has played center on the team the whole season. Frank also scored many “free shots” for DeLand. Clarence Ahlrich — Junior. “Bally” was the acrobat of the team. He played floor guard, but as soon as the “tip-off” at center was made, he went to his place in the play and was always very instrumental in securing a basket for our D. T. H. S. Because of his speed and quickness “Bally” was a very important player on the team. Where he started he went. If he couldn’t squeeze thru, he would jump over. With his speed he was very hard to guard and he generally got the ball when it came his way. Theodore Ahlrich — Junior. “Ted” played forward on the team and with his quickness, accuracy of passing, and speed the rest of the team was to a great extent dependent on him for the success of the plays. He was almost a “dead shot” from under the basket and also was good on long shots from the floor. “Ted” was always closely guarded by the opposing team because they knew, and if they didn’t know they soon found out, that if he had half a chance he would score for DeLand. % Richard Dresback — Sophomore. A team may have a wonderful offen- sive, but it cannot accomplish much without a wonderful defensive. There must be someone who can “block” or “break-up” the plays of the opposing f orwards. “Dick” is the player on the team that can do this. With his long arms he can intercept many passes and when the ball is once in his pos- session he can prevent the opposing team from again securing it. Because of his size and firmness few players care to come in contact with “Dick” more than once. It gives the same sensation as running into a wall in the dark. After “Dick” gets the ball he never quits until it is safe in the hands of our forwards. Ivan Trigg — Senior. “Bud” has played on the DeLand basketball team for four years. While he was a Freshman he played forward on the team, but he soon found that his place was at back guard. He has played in that position the last three years of his high school career. “Bud” never lets an opponent get the better of him and if he can’t stop him any other way he will accidentally hold him. “Bud” with his quickness soon takes the ball away from his opponent and with his accurate and speedy pass does his duty in that the ball goes where the forwards can secure it. Theodore Holforty — Senior. “Ted” has played at this game for all four years of his high school life, like several other players on the team, but says there is still room for improve- ment. He has always played back guard. “Ted” has always attracted attention when on the floor with his left hand passes and other akward per- formances, but he generally makes the opposing players go to their positions and fools his opponent with his left hand. “Ted” was christened a char- ter member of the “wildcat” organiza- tion, when a Freshman and has lived up to the title ever since. Richard Diegel Freshman. This is “Freshman’s” first year at the game, but D. T. H. S. looks forward to what he will do in his next three years of high school life. He plays forward on the team and he has already shown that he possesses the qualities of a good forward. “Freshman is not so large, but he takes his place in the “skirmish” part of the game. He is very speedy and it doesn t take him very long to get under way. He is good on field baskets and has made some progress as a “free shot” thrower. “Freshman” has a promising future be- fore him in the basketball “arena. Lynn Cox — Junior. “Coxy” played at forward’s posi- tion this season and did some creditable work in that place. It is nothing more than his “sure-shotedness” that won him his place on the team. When “Coxy” once got the ball and there was not too much obstruction between him and the basket he usually made two points for his team. It is also true that the more time “Coxy” has for “aiming” at the basket, the more cer- tain he is of scoring. “Coxy” also scored several points for DeLand in throwing free baskets in several games. John Huisinga — Senior. John only played a part of the bas- ket ball season, but when he did play the rest of the team realized what a valuable asset he was to them. John played center and with his jump he could generally get the “tip-off.” Then again when John got under the basket all he had to do was to jump up and lay the ball in the basket. John was large enough to block many plays and keep the ball after he got it. Leslie Adams — Freshman. This is Leslie’s first year at the game, but he has shown that, with practice, he can make a real player. He played in but a few games, but in those games he showed his color. He played at back guard and did his best to win for D. T. H. S. He has shown that we can expect something good from him in his coming three years of high school life. SPRING TRACK EVENTS D. T. H. S. Invitational Meet On April 22nd, the biggest and most successful track and field meet in the athletic history of D. T. H. S. was held Monticello, Farmer City, Argenta, Ken- ney and DeLand had entries in this event. In the morning the grade school entries participated in a track and field meet.

The real work of education must be done by yourself by reading. Carlyle says that the true university is found in a collection of books. All great literature ha3 an uplifting influence. Good books aid character-building. They are an incentive to noble living. It is impossible to say what effect the reading of a single book may have on one s life. Therefore read the GOOD books.

PERFECT KWALITY AUTUMN The sky is blue, shading to a deep purple near the horizon’s edge; The fields are brown and yellow at the frost king’s touch The trees, but yesterday weighed down with ripened fruit. Are robed in all the splendors of a holiday. The birds, their nesting done, now restless flit from place to place. Eager to fly to distant homes, yet loath to go; The cattle, quiet with the close of summer’s stir, Stand, calmly listening for the milkmaid’s call. And 1 who look abroad upon the peaceful scene. Feel stirring in my soul the thoughts of home. Of quiet, restful hours with those I love. Of work laid by, all care and toil forgot. Oh, Lord! Dear Lord! I pray that long As thou dost give me here to stay. Such days as this. Thou’ 11 not forget to give To draw and bind me closer still to thee. W. O.
