S. LOYALTY In the morning’s ear j y dawning In the noontide’s fiery glow When the gentle breezes whisper. Or the raging tempests blow: In the autumn or the springtime In the classroom or the hall We love our dear o 1 High School And we re loyal one and all. Whether freshmen from the country Or grave seniors from the town We’re a bunch of loyal boosters And on Hunkers we must frown. The good name of DeLand High School Is a thing we hold most dear, And we’re here to work in earnest Or to boost with song and cheer. Come then all my fellow students Join our teachers with a will And we ll work and boost together As we mount up Knowledge Hill. By _ W. O. Jones. BOARD OF EDUCATION W. E. Leischner, President J. C.

They had collected sections of Arith- metic, a supply of Grammar, bunches of dates from the tree of history, bits of Geography, and some packages of Civics as their necessary baggage In addition to these parcels, each passen possess ed a ticket a certificate of pro- motion from the last station, the eighth grade. Promptly on the stroke of nine they started out on the upgrade in the Train of Know ' edge. They were given places in the Freshman section and they found the train equipped with a fine dining car whose capable chets sup- plied them with much food for their mental growth and development. In order that they might gain sufficient class pep, loyalty, and schoo. spirit I ey chose Forrest Henry as president of their group; while the conductor, Mr. Jones, and Head Brakcmen, Miss Porter, made certain that they properly digested the meals served by the Faculty Chefs and Porters. At the end of the first year, having fulfilled the many duties of Fresh man passengers they were transferred the Sophomore car. By t is t me because of the rough travel several of then group had fallen by the wayside and one or two new ones were added. Leah Reed was chosen to be president cf the trip for this year, and a great deal of planning and work was done on the Sophomore Garden, which is left as the memorial of the class of 30. By this t me they had become so capable that they were shifted to the Junior coach. Again some of the passengers, Dwight Lanier Don Timmons, Atha Swartz and Edna Stone dropped off to take trips through other school She’by Crcrby was elected president and with the help of the new Head Brakeman, Miss Schwab, they climbed the upgrade smoothly. The mental food became hard to digest but with the encouragement given by the Faculty Chefs and Porters the Junior passengers nobly did their duty. Severa 1 passengers took side trips into the Athletic and Oratorical rields. There were some veiy peasant stops also for the Junior Play, High School Operetta, and Junior-Senior Banquet. Then ccme that glorious day when that group was transferred to the Senior Coach feeling quite dignified and superior to anyone eise with Virthel hades as class president. The grade became steeper and the journey rougher but with that glorious view of Commencement Station looming in the near distance eighteen of the c ' ass of ' 30 managed to mount to the top. ' They became more clcsely united and appreciated more fully the supervision of the conductor and Head Brakeman. They grew quite puffed up over the records which certain members had made in side trips to Athletic Fields. Oratorical Stages, and G ee Club Pavillions. They successiully passed the close inspection of the examiners who checked up on their baggage of Know- ledge, and they now stand ready for final transfer to various roads leading through the Valley of Opportunity in the ] and of the Great Beyond, to cities of Success, Fame, and Worthy Achievement. Leah Reed. CLASS WILL The Senior Class has fe ] t for some time that its demise was near; we have felt thr t ichocl was beginning to disagree with us and that the mem- bers of the faculty have conspired to accomplish the death of the most aston- ingly briPiant class the walls cf CeLand High and the teachers thereof have ever frowned upon. I he bitter dose of lessons was taken with daily regu- larity and has hastened rather than prolonged our class demise, and we know with sorrowful certainty that the hour of our departure is near at hand. Therefore being so soon to pass from these scenes of educational activity and being in full possession of a ] ert minds and memories that put the most exten- sive encyclopedias to shame and having faculties keenly sharpened by many contests with fbghty instructors, we would publish to you upon this funereal occasion, the last wiM and testament of the Senior Class of 1930. We do hereby appoint and charge Faye, the lawful custodian of the class funds, to faithfully attend to loc king up the numerous bPls we owe and to settle all accounts of the departing c ass from the exhausted pennies of an already depleted treasury. No money are we taking with us from this ex- pensive institution of education, neither do we leave any debts behind us. To the School in genera 1 we leave the out-of-the-way nooks where we have been wont to hide, usua’ly in couples, if the girls could inveigle the boys to waste the t.me which wou’d have been spent in studying. To the school 1 brary we leave the collection of volumes setting forth the charms, the esca- pades, the achievements, and the startling knowledge g eaned from our ex- amination papers. These volumes will be written by the first famous author w’ho is offered a good price for so doing. To the Junicr Class, as our rightful and worthy successors, we leave: A. Our seats. Occupy them but do not try to fill them. B. Our Senior Dignity. May they uphold it with becoming serious- ness, endeavoring to overcome their usual hare brained and frivolous flip- pancy. C. Our abundant rnd reverberating class spirit and pep with the right to terrorize the town and make night hideous with soulful class songs and soulless class yePs. Do your best to keep things stirred up. To the vivacious and exuberant Sophomores we leave the right to prey upon the Freshmen cut of season and without reason, to unceasingly tortur e them with the liabilities thereof. The foMowing personal bequests: To the Principal of the school, the unfailing good humor of the entire class; we are certain he wi’l need this in dealing w T ith the Seniors who succeed us. To Miss Ennis, who seems so much w r edded to her work as a teacher we kave the book belonging to the girls of this class, “How to Win a Husband. Eventually, why not now? She needs it!!!! To Helen Crosby, Maurine Clapper wishes to leave Lorin Swartz in memory of a certain Sunday night. To Marianne we leave the Senior privilege of using long, impressive, and high-fa T uting words. CLASS WILL (Continued) To Johnny Norwood we leave Keith Adams’ powers of fascination. It seems that Keith has acquired a girl in Champaign and no longer needs To Shorty Clapper we bequeath Russell s habit of spending two hours a day on his physics lesson — by sitting on the book while he reads yarns. To Georgia Richardson we bequeath Faye’s ability to put on a hne complexion. Save the surface and you save all. On George Norwood we bestow Rex’s sunny smile. It s guaranteed not to rub off! , To future Senior Class Presidents we bequeath Virthel s power to pre side with a dignity that wuld do honor to a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Clarence Webb leaves the guardianship of Martha Marvel to any volunteer who wiM promise to take her to church every Sunday night. Earl Kidd leaves his mischievous temperament and love for labor to another ambitious little boy, Earl Ferry. Mary gladly grants her stand in with masculine teachers to her sister, Millv, good luck, Milly! n Rachel leaves her position as Private Secretary to Mr. Jones to all those who care to fight for it. Velna Wolfe leaves her prominent dimples to Guyneth McKee. Gene Hays leaves his collection of pencils to the High School Museum — in order that all the pupils may have some of their property represented. His enjoyment in making life miserable for everyone else by mentioning the should-be-unmentionables he bequeaths to Ellis Leischner. Alma Halcomb bequeaths all her infatuation for SheTy Crosby to Edyth Chaney. Good Luck, Edyth! Leah leaves her place in the happy family to Babe, providing the men shave their mustaches. As Maxine “passes out she leaves her weakness for “big city men — especially red-headed fellows — to Josephine Cathcart and Rosemary Doyle. Shelby Crosby leaves his method of doing business and his criticisms of the telephone system to J. C. Haggard. Viola leaves her kindly manners to her brother, Ernest, who needs them badly when he is inclined to throw mud balls at the gir ' s. Keith Mansfield leaves his love of shocking people (not by his actions, but by electric wires) to Bob Bragg. With our last parting breath we do hereby constitute and appoint the Principal of aforementioned school sole executor of this our will and testa ment. Signed. Sealed, and Delivered, this twenty-eighth day of May, In the year of our Lord, One thousand nine hundred and thirty. In witness thereof, we attach the signatures of the class of 1930. Subscribed and sworn to in the presence of the School House Cat. N. P. My commission never expires. Virthel Eades CLASS PROPHECY OF 1930 Having been required, by mandate of the class of 1930, to forecast the future cf these illustrious Seniors, 1 journeyed me to the fai country where dwelt the Three Fates, the sisters, who, in the famous days of gods and god- esses presided over the destinies of human beings. Fair to look upon were they and most fascinating in their skillful manipulation of the threads of life. C!otho, the Fate who was present at births, held the distaff which supplied the slender strands; Lacheses spun the thread; Atropos, with shining shears ever ready, cut these threads of Life with a fateful snip. Fair Fates,” 1 implored, “Ye who preside over the destinies of the class of 1930, will thou not reveal to me the happenings of our future years? It is decreed that 1 must know.” Atropos shook a fair and determined head. “Not so,” she answer- ed, “Not to mere mortals do we divu ge these secrets of Life.” Clotho gave a nod of assent, but Lachesis spoke entreatingly. “This request comes from an excellent class.” she said. “They have a most satisfactoiy record in High School. They were great y esteemed by their Faculty, and have walked before their schoolmates with diligence and perfection cf manner. Let us grant them the knowledge of the future.” After a few moments of objection and discussion it was decided to give the c’ass of 1930 a glimpse of the unfoldings of the future, which interest- ing view 1 now reveal to you, endorsed by the Fates who preside over our destinies. We have within our ranks future daredevils, farmer’s wives, preach- ers, actors, dancers, typists, musicians, poultry kings and farmers, mechanics, inventors, etc. The prophet of vision shows us: Keith Adams as a dare devil in California. He still has the remains of his old Ford, which he uses to entertain folks on Sunday afternoons b y driving off a high cliff into a lake. Viola Bartison and her husband are part of the backbone of the country — for if good farmers are not the country’s backbone tell me what is. Viola has a ways had a fondness for chirkens, calves, and baby baa- baas. She is also caring for some who as babies Boo-Hooed. She is re- siding on a farm near her old home. Russell Boman whose pranks used to worry the teachers is a renowned singing Evangelist and preacher residing in New York. He travel all over the U. S. and at the present time is conducting a revival meeting at the Church of God in Lodge. Rex Carver, the world famous solo cornclist, is spending his last days in luxury in the preminent ranks of society in New York City. He gained prominence and a fortune from making b’indfold tests, showing the super- iority of Old Golds. Our class president Virthel Eades, has gone in for music and art. Virthel, who was fond of drawing likenesses of the Faculty, is to win fame as an artist. He is better known as “Jelly Roll Eades” director of the greatest and Gassiest orchestra of the world called “Red Hot Peppers.” They are now completing their four year stay on Broadway and are more famous than Rudy Valee. CLASS PROPHECY OF 1930 (Continued) Faye, who is better known as America’s second Helen Kane, the famous “boop-boop-a-doop’ girl is Beck’s ever popular assistant. Shelby Crosby, true to his type is a big social leader and reformer. He is president of the anti-saloon league. Sheloy tried the Telephone Com- pany and some photographing but seemed to get farther as a reformer. Alma Halcomb’s thoughts are along the same line as Shelby’ s. A.ma is a wel 1 known leader in the Woman’s Temperance Union co-operating with Shelby. It is not surprising that Alma went in for Civil reform because she used to advocate better order in the assembly rooms, better and more bauti- ful school grounds and the girls should hold ha ' f of the class offices. bhe reformed DeLand ; then the county, and then the state. Now she s in Wash- ington telling things to Congress. It is thought by many that some day she and Shelby will go on as one forever. Maurine Clapper is now barnstorming the United States after spending three years in Hawaii practicing Hoola Hoo’a dancing with the Natives She wiP appear on Broadway in a few weeks in her latest role Scarlet Ankles. Earl Kidd has prosperity written a!l over him. He has money in his pcckets as well as in the bank. He started in a humble way but climbed the ladder step by step. He has built over 3,000 houses and he is a marvelous and masterful carpenter. He has retired now and having become so fat it was unsafe for him to climb upon roofs is now testing the stiength of Union made overalls and B.V.D.’s. Keith Mansfield, the world’s famous scientist and inventor, will retire early, firmly entrenched on Easy Street by the sale of his Non-squirt Grape- fruit and Anti-splash Galoshes. Clarence Webb is still a “little farmer.” He lives on as fine a large farm as you’ve ever seen. He makes use of up to date methods. His farm is said to be the best equipped and is called the Marvel of the Ages. Here’s Leah Reed, who didn’t like boys and said she’d be an old maid, with a husband and four children Leah married a short, fat man from Monticello. Her children’s names are Robby, Sadie, Adie and Burly Jr. Maxine Porter, who has always tried to bring up the younger gener- ation to be good citizens and to be able to quote Emily Post s passages in ettiquette has succeeded again in having her way. She is a steadfast old maid always having said she would be. Mary Plankenhorn has just returned from China where she has been a missionary. Gene Hays is a second Major Hoople and is known as Abie Martin, Jr. He writes clever articles for the papers and furnishes funnies for the children of our nation. Velna Wolfe is now acknowledged as the world s fastest and fattest typist. She gained her avoirdupois from a sure cure 1 8 day diet. She is still single but it is her own fauh. Thus ends the prophecy of the illustrious Class of ’30. By Rachel Pickerill. 0 7 ’ SHO TS ' -Z Finally 1 Died I never had such a tough time in all my life. First, 1 got angina pectoris followed by arterioscler- osis. Just as 1 was recovering from these. I got tuberculosis, double pneumonia and phthisis. Then they gave me hypodermics.

Pass the Pickles We ate at a small dinner given in honor of a visiting English nobleman. 1 he family enter- taining His Lordship had allowed their young son to come to the table. The boy listened in awe as we spoke to the Lord. Of course he had been admonished by his mother to sit quietly and not talk. However, an innate sense of hospitality moved him to break the promise when he saw how the visitor ' s eye roamed hither and yon across the table as though seeking for something. The boy ventured a remark, “Mom, God wants a pickle.” — Dartmouth Jack O’Dantern. She: 1 want that car in the window. He: Well, it’s in the window. — Vanderbilt Masquerader. “Who is that terrible looking woman standing next to the door?” “That is my wife.” “Er-er, 1 didn’t mean her. 1 meant the young lady beside her.” ‘That’s my daughter.” — West Point Pointer.

A, lettei will be awarded each year to any student who meets the requirements within that year, but no points shall be carried over from one year to the next. All “Ds” are of the same size, color, shape and material, and small- er letters or emblems will be placed in the center of the D to designate the field in which the greatest number of points was earned.

At the beginning of the year they remodeled the mechanics shed and worked out several minor projects. Their work follows the regular Physics course. They spend one day per week at work in the mechanics shed. Mr. Jones is their instructor. This is the first year that anything of this kind has been tried and it has proved to be a benefit.

They began their work at the beginning of the school year. Very few had had any training on their particular instruments previous to this time. Rehearsals are every Wednesday afternoon. The first concert was given Wednesday, March 19 at 7:30 P. M. This concert was for the purpose of interesting pupils in the lower grades in some instrument to take the place of the seniors who will leave the band this year. This is the first time for a number of years that D. T. H. S. has had a band and we surely are proud cf it, and the interest that has been taken. D. T. H. S. Orchestra Back Row — Porter, G. Hays, Carver, Adams, H. Hays, Cathcart, Mr. Merry. Front Row — Campbell, Marvel, Bennett, Reed, Pickerill, Walker, Bartison, Huisinga, Hanson, Chaney, Oakley, Doyle. A new interest was aroused in orchestra work at the beginning of this year. Mr. Merry, the new instructor, gives individual lessons to those desir- ing them, free of charge. The orchestra contains eighteen members. Mr. Merry, who is a o orchestra instructor in Williamsville Weldon and Latham, has arranged to hold consolidated concerts at each of the four places with all four orchestras, during the rrcnth of May. It is hoped that enough interest has been taken by the cwer class-men to make it possible for someone to take the place in the orchestra of each senior who graduates in May. The G. A. A.

THE G. A. A. The G. A. A. was organized in 1929 with Miss Ennis as superviso r, Maxine Porter as President, Rachel Pickerill as Vice-President, and Geneva Walker as Secretary-Treasurer for the year. All girls of the Physical Educa- tion Class could become members. The purpose was to get more girls interest- ed in Athletics, and each member is awarded points earned during the year for various activities. Dues of twenty-five cents a year are paid to cover expenses. Meetings are he ] d every two weeks, each one having some definite entertainment for the purpose of athletic development. ATHLETICS The basketball team of the Del ..and Township High School of the year 1929-30 had an unusually good season, having won six and lost seven of the scheduled games. In the three tournaments entered we won two grmes and lost four. This seemed to be rather a surprise to the fans of DeLand since the teams of the two years previous to this won three games in the two years. The season opened November 13, 1929 and closed March 7, 1930. Nov. 15 D. T. H. S. 27 Kenney 21 Nov. 2 7 D. T. H. S. 8 Argenta 25 Dec. 6 D. T. H. S. 27 Bement 25 Dec. 1 3 D. T. H.

E. church in honor of the basketball squad of ’29 and ’30. A big crowd of townspeople attended and enjoyed the banquet and the program foPowing. G. R. Hursh, a member of the beard of education, was toastmaster. Coach Evans gave a little talk about basket- ball, and the benefits derived mentally by the boys. Rev. Willey spoke about the Church and School. The guest of honor, Carl (Horse) May, a member of the University of Illinois team, gave a talk dedicated especially to the substitutes. “Dick” Carver, our captain during this last year gave a brief talk. “Shorty” Clapper, newly elected captain for next year gave a brief outline of next year’s work. A great deol of amusement was aroused when our little 31 captain shook hands with the tall U. of I. star. The program was brought to an end by Mr. Jones’ speech on the “School and the Community.” Hie committee in charge was composed of Tom Mac, G. R. Hursh and Harry Rickel. The food was served by the ML E. Guild. It is hoped that the people of the Community will stand back of the team next year as well as the results of the banquet seemed to indicate.
