Are you going to school, now?” “Why yes, of course, you can walk with me. A great pleasure indeed.” “What? Oh, you are? Well, I’m a junior.” “Of course they all think that. No fooling, it is the greatest class ever.” “You do? Well, you just watch us shine.” “Set the world on fire? Why, that’s tame in comparison.” “Ever do? Now, honey, you mean what have we not done.” “Boasting! As Heaven is my witness! Well, to go on with the discourse. We’ve done lots, but it is what we are going to do.” “Yes, we are a rather small class. But that doesn’t count so much in some cases. Our motto is, ‘Little but Mighty.’ You know we published the paper this year. Of course it was a great success. We’re proud of the fact that we were the first junior class to do that.” “No, it was a regular newspaper.” “Well, of course, it took a lot of work but look what experience we got and besides, nothing is worth while that does not require some labor. We’re not the sort to try to dodge our duties or our opportunities either.” “Tournament? Yeh, that was rather tough, but you know you can’t always be the biggest duck in the puddle—not that we ever thought of that. But we’ve been ably represented in other activities.” “Yes, there are some in the orchestra and we’re a factor in football— that is, some of us. As for clubs, some of us are in all of them. You bet you can always look for the juniors to be right amongst the leaders. And that play was a scream. Don’t you think we are somebody?” “Now that’s real sweet of you to say so.” “You think we’ll do more next year. I should say we will. They’ll all hear about us.” “Set the world on fire? I wouldn’t go that far. You see, I’m a modest sort. So long, I’ve sure enjoyed your conversation. You’re so agreeable.” —M. H., ’26.

H. S. Our first duty was to select those who were to lead us. Oscar Clark was selected as our Captain. After a time, however, he dropped overboard and sank from view, and a new election was necessary. This time Harold McGee, little but mighty, was elected and he has been a successful Captain. Our voyage seemed hardly to have begun when, in the distance, over the waters far away, something dark seemed to loom up. Destruction seemed approaching, but after all, it was only a test of our work done in the past few months. We sailed on and passed through the darkness. Our number was replenished with new sailors just fresh from training. We worked and toiled without end. We wanted G. H. S. to be proud of her sailors. The first harbor was rising out of the distance and with one more brave effort we advanced into port with flying colors. A reward was ours, three whole months of freedom from the sea. In September of ’24 we again set sail. Our hopes were high; our standards soaring. “Mack” was again elected as our Captain and we set to work with a will. A number of our boys became noted workers in the games on board. Some of them were Cecil Lawlyes, Raymond Savage, “Mack” McGee, Verlin Starks, Reesie Jones, and “Jawn” Ramey. Some took part in football, others in basketball. But the boys were not the only workers. Our girls’ team won the cup offered as a reward to the inter-class basketball winners. Time flies—our second goal is approaching. The rest of our voyage lies a blank before us to be sailed through day by day to a bright, glorious, and long sought harbor. A. L., ’27.

T. H. S. when about thirty freshmen stumbled over one another as they tried to walk quietly across the assembly and slip into a seat from the wrong side without any of the upper classmen seeing them. We managed to live through the first embarrassing weeks and finally felt seasoned enough to hold our first class meeting. Leo Snapp was elected president; Joe Mahoney, vice-president; Elizabeth Baum, secretary; and Otis Edmonds, treasurer. We all enjoyed our first party in the gym given by the sophomores. Later we attempted to repay them with a camp supper, which proved a great success with the exception of the supper. There was much enthusiasm among the freshmen in athletics. A number of our boys went out for football and showed great promise for the future. There was much interest shown among the girls in basketball. During January, new freshmen entered high school and made us feel that we were beginning to be those awe inspiring upper classmen. We have great hopes for the future and will try to live up to the high standard of the school throughout our high school life. —Catharine Myers, ’28.

As the years went by we passed from grade to grade, losing some of our members and gaining others. By the time we had reached the eighth grade, outclass numbered twenty-five. In the fall of 1924 the eighth grade girls formed a glee club, directed by Miss Evelyn Lange. Before we left the eighth grade, a party was given for us in the grade school auditorium. Our greatest achievement as eighth graders was the operetta, which we gave under the direction of Miss Lange. Of course, the seventh and the other eighth grades helped, but our members had the most important parts. On January the nineteenth, 1925, seventeen of us entered high school. As we are freshmen we are considered ignorant and insignificant, but we think we are just as intelligent as the upper classmen. After we entered, we took part in the regular freshmen class meeting. Ray Davenport, one of our members, was elected assistant secretary and treasurer. Because we entered in the second semester, we didn’t get our pictures taken with the rest of the class, but had the honor of having them taken separately. Some of our boys went out for basketball, and spring football practice. The girls in our class expect to have a good basketball team next year as some have had experience. As we haven’t been in high school very long, we have not had much chance to show our talent. We have great hopes for the future and when we are dignified seniors our history will be the best ever. —Susie Wilson, ’29.

REES Swastika Advisor THE SWASTIKA 'J'HE Swastika is the fourth year book published by a senior class of the Georgetown High School. The class of ’24 published a monthly paper instead of the one volume annual and their work has been continued by the junior class this year. No one can realize how much worry and how many trials this noble Page Thirty ACTIVITIES—PUBLICATIONS T I little group of people, the Swastika staff has endured. We started out on our task with absolutely no idea of what to do or how to do it. A rep- resentative from the engraving company spent four full hours one Saturday afternoon trying to get us on the right track, and one would think that we profited by his suggestions to hear the staff quoting “that man.” The people who have their pictures illuminating the pages of this illustrious book should be made to realize that there is much more to getting them there than just posing before the camera. Of all the tedious hours spent getting the pictures ready for the engravers, only those who were the victims can tell. Dale Hubbard refused to sit up straight and Harry Mitchell was so large there wasn't room for him at first until we had ruined his picture and had to get another. And wasn’t it a blow when we found that the football boys had been posed against a brick wall! But that was only one little rock in our mountain of troubles. We endeavored to bring everyone into his sphere of school life and omit no one. It is a hard task and often many feelings are hurt. Here's hoping that no one feels slighted after this issue of the Swastika, but that everyone feels that we have made an interesting and exact record of the doings of 1924 and 1925.

V ’ PURPLE AND WHITE STAFF Ulro o- ACTIVITIES—PUBLICATIONS The Purple and White T J AM the School Gossip, and my name is Purple and White. The junior class is editing and selling me far and wide, for which I thank them. I love so well for people to look upon my face, that I really should be called “Vanity Fair.” I came into existence in October and Miss Rees is my originator. From the date of my birth, I have always been extremely popular, especially with the school children. I charge five cents for telling all I know, and some things I don’t know. In December, I was entered in the journalism contest at the University of Illinois and took second place. Not so bad for a beginner, eh? However, I was severely reprimanded for calling a new school building, a temple of learning. One of the main reasons the juniors started editing me was to make their class shine. But alas! their popularity was dearly bought for they had to serve hot lunches at noon during January and February to defray expenses. Let me tell you something, seniors! The juniors hurried around like “siz” to beat you to the advertisements of the business men cf Georgetown. Oh, you’ll have to go some to get ahead of the juniors! As a last word, I wish to thank the Purple and White Staff, especially Millard Harmon, my editor-in-chief, for the wonderful effort they have put forth to make me a success. u y ’26 THE STAFF Editor-in-Chief____________________________________Millard Harmon Associate Editor...................................Helen Youmans News Editor______________________________________ Maybelle Emory Sports Editors_____________________________Elmer Starr, Robert Clift Humor______________________________________________Helen Holaday Reporters________Florence McMasters, Josephine Smith, Mabel Elliott Personals__________________________________________Mary Louise Rees Listening In—-------------------------------------Vivian Thornton Exchange Editor______________________________________________Russell Ban- Business Manager_______________________________________________Louis Clift Circulation Manager____________________________________________Elmer Starr Assistants____________________________Mary Richards, Clark Emory Advertising Managers________________Marie Baum, Mary Louise Rees Typists________________Lula Rice, Ora Belle Duke, Mildred Brazelton Page Thirty-three jJT. The Girls’ Glee Club QUITE a flock of nightingales gather every week to hold a twittering and cheeing concert. The choir leader has a raven head and quite a saucy air as she tosses her head jauntily. Her voice is strong, clear, and sweet, and can be heard caroling above the others. She beats time with a tiny branch and counts twit-chee-chee-twit. During the practice two members of the choir playfully attack each other and have to be reprimanded with a harsh peck by the leader. The choir leader tries to impress upon the other birds that, “B-B-Birds of a Feather S-S-Start Together,” but all her teaching seems to be in vain for in the counting some of the song birds started on twit and others on chee. This nightingale choir, which is commonly known as the Girls’ Glee Club, has kept very busy this year under the direction of Miss McMahan. During the first semester, they joined with the Boys’ Glee Club and spent their time on the operetta, “The Toreadors.” At the beginning of the second semester a group of the girls was selected to make up the semichorus. This group has put in many hours practicing on the song, “Dear Land of Freedom,” and hope to make as good a showing in the contest as was made by the chorus last year. —Helen Youmans, ’26. | 9 2 5 CTfiS Page Thirty-four The Boys' Glee Club 'J’HIS club initiated last fall promised a glowing future and did take an active part in the operetta, “The Toreadors,” but as far as further development is concerned, like many newly instituted societies, its growth has been slow. Miss McMahan has several unison songs on which the club is contemplating studying, and perhaps before the year closes, something may be accomplished. Those club members taking part in the operetta were: John Greene, Frederick Martin, Paul Willison, Herschel Hall, Lester Jones, Marion Muncy, Warren Humrichouse, Harry Mitchell, Millard Harmon, Leo Snapp, and Philip Burgoyne. OUR GLEE CLUB We have a glee club in our school The best one in the state? They’re lots of fun You should have one Go start it, do not wait! The leader stands before the club And says “Now let us sing A little song,” Ding, dong, ding, dong—. How soon we learn the thing. —Elizabeth Dinsmore, ’25. s Page Thirty-five )£t£ G. H. S. Orchestra “QRCHESTRA practice, 3:45 Wednesday.” The soft strains of “Victory March” are heard from the assembly, along with a little conversation above the ordinary tone of voice. “Dale, will you please bring the chairs down to the assembly? Well, where is Dorothy, didn’t she bring her violin?” “Yeow, I brought it, but I forgot my music.” Then Miss McMahan is heard, sounding quite woe-be-gone: “Oh, will Russell Barr ever get in here with that cornet? Is Mr. Black going to play to-night?” Mr. Black arrives with the customary “Oh, I don’t know whether I can play to-night or not, I’m so busy—” But in spite of its many difficulties the orchestra under the careful management of Miss McMahan has proved a great success. The members are: Miss McMahan, 1st violin; Mary McMahon, pianist; Mary Louise Rees, 1st violin; Dale Robinett and Dorothy Dornblaser, 2nd violins; Mr. Black and Russell Barr, cornets; Louis Clift, drums. At the beginning of the second semester a new member was enrolled, Robert Chapman, violin.

Right this way, please. Step right up, folks, to the Commercial Club stand. Buy your megaphones and make lots of noise for Georgetown. Encourage the team with our ‘Yea, Georgetown’ pennants!” Such noise as this issued forth from a very prettily decorated stand at all the football games last fall. This helped fill our treasury with money with which we have bought a victrola for the typing classes. We now have pretty little pins by which we may distinguish ourselves and are boosting to make this club a lasting organization. At the first of the year the club was formed by Miss Smith, our commercial instructor. The aim of this group was to become the peppiest club in school. With a membership of almost fifty, that aim has been accomplished. Many happy evenings have been enjoyed on the meeting nights, the third Monday of every month. Special programs have been arranged with speakers n’everything. The social hour has been enjoyably spent by all, so that in conclusion we might well say— A peppy Club, a merry crowd With lots of fun. Oh! Gee. They smile at everything so loud, That all the world can see. Page Thirty-seven Page Thirty-eight The F. L. H. Club of the great occurrences of the year in G. H. S. was the appearance of the rooters’ club, under the insignia, “F. L. H.” The exact meaning of this title has remained a mystery to the school, with the exception of the members of the club. It has been rumored that the initials stand for “Faith, Love and Hope.” Others insist that it is “French, Latin and History.” We are not the one to solve the mystery, but we shall say that both are close; about as close as Walter ever gets to the girls. Headed by Elmer Starr, as President of the Club, and through the efforts of “Spig” Jones, the club has been, on the whole, a huge success. The first appearance of the club, in uniform, was at the Bismarck game. From the first, we secured the co-operation of the high school people in backing the team on the side-lines. 1 The climax of the club’s work came at the county tournament. With 7 the drum corps and the co-operation of the girls on the side-lines, the spirit 2 of the game was intensified. —B. S., ’25. 5 Page Thirty-nine The Agricultural Club i President______________________________________________________Dale Hubbard Vice-President_________________________________________Walter Hess Secretary____________________________________________________Marion Muncy When the program committee consisting of Dale Hubbard, Verlin Stark, and Paul Willison met at the home of Mr. Adams one night last summer for the purpose of arranging the activities of the Ag. Club for the following year, the first thing they scheduled was a peanut banquet which was held in the gym on the night of September 10. Verlin Spicer and Verlin Stark were elected captains and they chose sides. The two teams held various contests, such as a “tug of war,” a “dumb bell race,” and a “cracker eating” contest. Verlin Spicer’s team easily swamped the others and the losers were run through a paddling machine composed of the winners’ side. Peanuts were served by Mr. Adams, “Grab ’em here style.” FIFTY-FIFTY The Ag. play, “Fifty-Fifty,” given November 19, made a great hit, playing to a full house. It received the compliment of being the best play the Ag. Club has ever given and that’s going some. The plot centered around a young author and artist struggling to make a living. The artist finally succeeded in selling a picture upside down and that gave him an inspiration to paint pictures upside down. The author began to write stories upside down and soon all of them were sold. The characters became entangled in some publicity also, but finally all ended well.

One hundred twenty-five dollars were given away in cash prizes. Some were of the opinion from the noises heard coming up from the basement into the assembly that the grand prize must have been for the loudest squawking chicken. This, however, was just the “nature of the brutes.” Mr. Kercher, County Farm Adviser, judged the grain and Mr. Steube judged the pastry. This was the first fair of its kind ever held in this community. The people responded readily and more exhibits were brought in than were expected. We wish to take this opportunity to again extend our thanks to the business men who so willingly helped us finance this fair. Since it has been found that there is a demand for such an undertaking in the community, the club will certainly have one again next year. On January ninth, a meeting of the Ag Club was held, when five reels of movies were shown with the club’s machine. These pictures starred Mr. Harvey Sconce, a well known farmer of Sidell, and showed the advantages of farming in Sutter Basin, California. All the boys went home determined to head for sunny California at the first opportunity. On December 12, Mr. Adams took us on the trailer to the poultry show at Danville. We had a fine breezy trip with but one interruption, a flat tire. A good interest was shown by the rest of the fellows and we brought home all the different kinds of literature they had. On January 30, Mr. Adams and Dale Hubbard took two Ford loads of the soils and crops class to Danville to attend a seed corn selection meeting held by the County Farm Bureau. Mr. Hackleman, a professional seed and corn root-rot man from the University, was the principal speaker. A tray of the school corn off the germinator was used with the talk and demonstration in the afternoon. February 10th, Mr. Butterfield gave a lecture sponsored by the Ag Club on “Proper Automotive Lubrication.” Mr. Butterfield is an authority on the subject and the lecture was considered well worth while. March 18th, we had a business meeting followed by some reels of pictures. We tried to take into the club Miss Evelyn Eleanor but our “woman hater” of a president, balked. Thursday afternoon, March 19th, the Farm Bureau aided by the Ag. Club put on a corn culling demonstration for the benefit of the farmers showing the importance of culling corn for seed. The Ag. Club banquet will be held on the night of April 1st. A three course dinner will be served by the domestic science girls. Some one from the University of Illinois will probably act as the speaker of the evening. A party will be held some time in April in honor of the girls who helped in the Ag. play and those who served the Ag. Club banquet. The annual district livestock judging contest will be held at St. Joseph the second Tuesday in May. Mr. Adams plans to take his first year agriculture class to this contest In this class are included the team who took second place at the I. and I. fair last fall. This team consisted of Dale Hubbard, Verlin Stark, and Verlin Spicer. Mr. Adams will also take a team to the state judging contest at Urbana in June, where last year, in competition with seventy-five schools, Georgetown placed ninth. The team will also judge again at the I. and I. fair, next fall. MEETINGS AND TRIPS SPRING ACTIVITIES Page Forty-one Page Forty-two Ulro i- ACTIVITIES—OPERETTA T THE TOREADORS Presented by the Glee Clubs. Directed by Miss McMahan rpHE curtain arose on the night of December 11, 1924, displaying a Spanish patio filled with romantic characters from sunny Spain, toreadors, beautiful Spanish ladies, and handsome gentlemen with curly black mustaches. Marie and Elizabeth Baum took the part of the twin daughters of the wealthy farmer, Senor Dictorio, otherwise known as John Greene. John behaved like a true Spanish gentleman in his sincere admiration for toreadors. His daughters, however, could not share this admiration as their hearts had been claimed by two young Spanish gentlemen, Juan and Pablo. There was, of course, a lot of wounded feeling on the part of the lovers over the obstinacy of that hard-headed old farmer, Senor Dictorio. When the toreadors did come, at last, and the fight was staged, ah, that was indeed a surprise to Senor Dictorio. The toreadors barely escaped with their lives and Senor Dictorio gave his blessing to the happy lovers.

The setting of the story was in the little town of Sandusky, Ohio, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Simmons, a very well-to-do family. Henry Simmons, a manufacturer, had determined to marry his daughter Ethel to his partner, Chet Binny. Ethel had ideas of her own on the subject. Mr. Simons got into trouble with his wife, but by inventing some clever stories he cleared himself, while involving his partner. Ethel and Chester had the usual quarrels caused by the circulation of the story that Chester Binny had had a mad flirtation with Letty Lythe, a motion picture star. Sadie Bloom also appeared and caused more complications, but in the end everything was restored to order; Chester and Ethel were reconciled; and the whole family was happy again.

One day when Professor Adams was late Someone hit Raymond on the pate With a handful of snow which she got from the sill And, just for spite, she turned on Bill. When Dale came running up the stair To report that Adams was coming, beware! So when that dear man came in at last, He said, ‘Oh my! What an ideal class!’” Just cast your eye over this bunch! I suppose at the first glance you’d say they’re a group of sleeping beauties, but upon closer inspection you can easily see that they’re only “playin’ possum.” While physics is perhaps one of the most difficult, it is also one of the most interesting and practical subjects taught in high school. Physics is interesting because it makes one realize that there is a reason for everything no matter how insignificant. 7 —A. C., ’25. 2 5 Page Forty-seven 27. The Typewriting Class ffpOSITION, feet flat on the floor, fingers on home keys!” This is our A command every day at the beginning of the sixth period. Miss Smith, our instructor, gets the music ready. We have clean sheets of paper in our machines ready for the signal to start. Click, click, go the typewriters, all together. Hearing fourteen machines in perfect rhythm, gives one passing by a curiosity to find out who makes this musical noise. There in their places, at work, he finds eleven girls and three boys, typing away. Through the week we have practice work about ten minutes of the period, then we work on our budgets, which we hand in without an error, to be filed. On Friday we have a speed test. Our grades are recorded according to speed and accuracy. The speed this year has been very good. The highest records have been made by Margaret Lenhart, writing forty-one words per minute; Millard Harmon, forty; and Lula Rice, thirty-eight. The others range from seventeen to thirty-five words per minute. This is a good record for a beginning class, as thirty words is the required speed at the close of the first year. Our class expects before the year is over to have one of the best records ever made by any typing class of G. H. S. —Lula Rice, ’26. cTRsbn Page Forty-eight Ull'O'O— Manual Training THE manual training department is supervised by the Deputy Sheriff and speed cop of Vermilion County, commonly known as Mr. Almy. This department is closed to freshmen and sophomores as the work is considered too difficult for their feeble capacities. If the class members do not believe this is true, let them ask Clark Emory about his hardships in mechanical drawing and in the planing of a straight curved board. In this department mechanical drawings are made from a given book and from illustrations which Mr. Almy and Mr. Bowen, manual training teacher of preceeding years, have carefully worked out. Four periods each week are spent in drawing while the remaining six periods are spent on bench work. The bench work consists of weaving, woodwork, and lathe work. Some very pretty and useful things have been made and are being made in manual training. Not only is manual training hard work but it is also interesting work. Everyone looks forward to his work each day as one of the most enjoyable of his classes. The work is pleasant and we can often engage in entertaining conversation as we plane. Manual training is sometimes thought of as a useless subject, especially for girls. It is useful because it gives training in the use of tools, in selection of good wood material, in estimating the value of furniture, etc. Mr. Tuggle has extended an invitation to us to have our furniture ex-1 hibited at the I. I. Fair in August. He seems to think we will “cop” all the prizes. Everyone is invited to see our exhibit at the high school this £ spring. —L. M., '25. 5 P TRs Page Forty-nine lfjsU s ACTIVITIES—SOCIETY T i h Social Happenings F HALLOWE’EN PARTY On All Saints’ Eve a mixed crowd of people consisting of gypsies, clowns, negroes, and many others assembled in the gymnasium of the high school for the annual Hallowe’en party. All the people present were divided into groups and each group was required to put on some stunts. Then there was the “Holy Family” and the “Ghost Walk” which furnished many thrills for the party. Refreshments, consisting of ice cream molded in the form of pumpkins, cakes in the shape of cats, and cider were served. The seniors decided early in the Fall that their hard work at school should be enlivened by a few parties during the year. To start the ball rolling, they had one at the home of Sudie Parker. This was a taffy pull, candy being the principal refreshment. After this affair turned out to the satisfaction of all, the seniors decided that another party wouldn’t be so bad and so they determined to hold the next one at the home of Elizabeth Dinsmore. It was very well attended and pronounced a success. On Hallowe’en, Mabel Parks entertained the seniors at a Hallowe’en party. It was a masked affair with invitations ’n everything. There was a spooky tale related that night that made the shivers run up and down everyone’s back. We wonder where Roderick Usher is now. The seniors turned into tiny tots during Christmas week and held a kid party at the home of Frederick Martin. There was a tree, presents for all, and Santa Claus himself came to give out the gifts. During the month of February, Iola Clark gave a Valentine party, to which all the seniors could bring a guest. They surely did, as many new faces were seen there that night. There was music, played so enchant-ingly that it seemed to move some people strangely. All these parties have helped to bind together the class of ’25 and give them something to remember when they recall their high school days. The sophomores started the social life of the year by entertaining the freshmen with a party in the gym. They played games, held a field meet and served light refreshments. At Hallowe’en time the sophs held a mas- 2 5 SENIOR DOIN’S CLASS PARTIES Page Fifty ACTIVITIES—SOCIETY Ft! querade party at the home of Harold McGee. In February they had a “kids” party at the home of Lelia Burgoyne. The freshmen returned the hospitality of the sophomores by inviting them to a camp supper in Green’s woods. This was a very hilarious party, but it was somewhat spoiled by the fact that the eats disappeared before supper time. This so discouraged the freshmen that they haven’t had any parties since. The juniors held their first party of the year at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dye. In October they celebrated Hallowe’en en masque at Helen Holaday’s home. These must have been very expensive parties as the class has been so much in debt ever since that it has been unable to afford any more festivities. T i K F THE LYCEUM COURSE 1 9 2 5 HAS anyone said that the seniors of ’25 couldn’t carry a thing over when they attempted it? If so, please let him be corrected for seeing is believing and just see what we did with our lyceum course. At the first of the year we had a class meeting and decided to bring to Georgetown a lyceum course of four numbers. A few days later each senior was given posters of the numbers, and ticket blanks, and told to use some of his surplus energy and make it a go. From the kindness of his heart, Mr. Black offered thirteen prizes. The number was unlucky for some but gave us a goal for which to strive. Lester Jones won five dollars, the first prize; Marion Muncy, two and a half, the second prize; and Audrey Cobble, the box of candy. Ten other fortunate ones won season tickets. We sold more tickets and made more money than we expected, therefore we obtained an additional number. As one didn’t prove satisfactory the bureau sent free of charge an impersonator so that we had six programs instead of four. We also cleared eighty-seven dollars for which we have found a good use. At the first number of the series, the Beverly Concert Party, a trio of girls entertained us with music and readings. The Century Opera Revue appealed to our higher intellect and presented very cleverly a sketch from the opera “Monsieur Beaucaire.” The Ambassador Quartet, four young men, sang and read our sorrows away. The Musical Mountaineers, also men, portrayed the mountain life of Italy in costume and song. The Impersonator entertained us with old men, young men and ladies and made the auditorium ring with echoes of “Oh! Margaret, Yo! Ho!” Frank Coad, the entertainer, presented plays, acting each character so well that it seemed as if they were all present. Everyone has been satisfied with our program and we sincerely hope that if the class of ’26 attempts the same plan next year it may be as successful as we. —E. D., ’25. Ft!

Parents should encourage them and even compel them to do so. The world is full enough of the lipstick type of boys. No one admires effeminancy except effeminates. Athletics will neutralize these tendencies, they will help your boy, not harm him. Do you admire self-reliance, perseverance, self-control, obedience? Do you admire health, grit, pluck, and fight? If you do, see that your children get into athletics; for athletics will help produce these qualities. If these qualities do not seem admirable as attributes in your children, put them in an orphans’ asylum. You have missed your calling. The football and basketball seasons are over; the track season is well on its way. In all of these sports an effort has been made to put out the best team possible; a winning team if possible, but at any rate a team which would fight until the last whistle blew. The bo., s who have worked on these teams, whose pictures appear in the following pages, have learned many lessons and gained much experience through these games, which they could have obtained in no other way. —H. Don Sweeley. THE athletic department of G. H. S. is trying to get each student in the high school to take an active part in some branch of athletics. We consider that participation in some form of athletics is very desirable for every boy and girl who attends school. The various sports which have become a part of the high school activities are not engaged in, nor were they devised to waste the time of pupils. We expect them to produce certain definite salutary results and experience has proved that these expectations are not unjustified. No parent should deprive his children of the many benefits that participation in athletics will produce. There are still some people who are severe critics of athletics. These are in general the people who spent their childhood playing “drop the handkerchief.” Boys especially take MARION MUNCY Captain of the fighting crew, quarter-back, and general strategist. He made ’em fight. s Page Fifty-five JOS HUMRICHOUSE MADDEN HESS JONES HUMRICHOUSE, End. This one is imported. A good end when he could keep the hair out of his eyes.

ATHLETICS—FOOTBALL THE GAMES VERMILION ACADEMY, 0; GEORGETOWN, 6 September 27 When the Vermilion lads met the Georgetown fighting football men on September 27, they sprang a surprise on the Georgetown fans. With a light and slightly trained team they succeeded in holding Georgetown to a 6 to 0 score. The entire team made a very poor showing. HOOPESTON, 7; GEORGETOWN, 7 October 4 Georgetown’s second game of the season was played with a bunch of corn canners in the city of Hoopeston. The team fought a great battle but were unable to win. The Hoopeston crew started with a fiery rush and within five minutes they succeeded in making a touchdown. But to their dismay this only encouraged the Georgetown lads and in the second quarter, opening up everything we had, we scored a touchdown on a fake pass and run, tying the score 7 to 7. The remainder of the game was a tough battle and both teams could advance the ball little. Only once did the Hoopeston crew endanger the goal line, when strong determination on the part of our boys checked the started advance. The game ended a tie 7 to 7, but we had won the support of our old fans by our fighting spirit and this was as good as a victory. CASEY, 0; Georgetown, 32 October 11 After a week of very severe practice and gruelling workouts, we journeyed to Casey to meet Coach Sweeley’s former football team. Casey was a strong contender for the valley championship and was determined to win. Within the hearts of the Georgetown boys, however, was that old spirit, “never-give-an-inch,” and as a result the mighty Caseyans bowed in defeat with the decisive score 32 to 0. The playing of Fauncher was an outstanding feature of the game, but the team work of our own boys was still more noteworthy. CLINTON, 43; GEORGETOWN, 7 October 18 In the game with Clinton, Georgetown met her first and only defeat cf the season. The Clinton miners out-weighed us by 20 pounds to the man and on their home field or rather in their gravel pit they succeeded in swamping our fighting crew 43-7. During the first quarter our boys were able to hold them, but the consistent line plunging of Maggie and Andie, Clinton’s outstanding stars, was too much for our light team. Our boys rallied and in the last quarter | succeeded in going over for a touch down. The game ended 43-7 in Clin- 9 ton’s favor. ? 5 Page Fifty-eight T ATHLETICS-FOOTBALL WATSEKA, 0; GEORGETOWN, 28 I October 25 K Amid the most lavish decorations ever seen in a town and football field, Georgetown met Watseka. The Watseka crew, somewhat crippled, with several of their best players out because of injuries, met a decisive defeat on our home field. The game was without thrills and excitement, and Georgetown, displaying brilliant team work, defeated Watseka by a score of 28 to 0. OAKWOOD, 0; GEORGETOWN, 43 November 1 Oakwood had found the going very rough from the first of the season but came to Georgetown on November first with a strong determination to win. They were unable, however, to hold the fleet backs of Georgetown and the fast charging line. There were many mishaps in this game and Oakwood suffered many injuries for our boys got rather rough. This proved to be their last game as they did not have enough able-bodied men to finish the season. ROSSVILLE, 0; GEORGETOWN, 34 November 8 As Rossville was not a strong contender in the race for county championship, Coach Sweeley, in this game, turned the team over to Captain Muncy, and played a number of the second team in order that they might gain some experience for next year. The game was slow and one-sided. The Rossville lads threatened our goal but once during the entire game, and the whistle blew with the ball within a yard of a touchdown for them. The game ended 34 to 0. DANVILLE, 0; GEORGETOWN, 0 November 22 Danville, without a defeat, came to Georgetown on November 22 with the odds greatly in their favor. However, this had little effect upon our boys for they entered the game with this thought in mind: “Eleven men fighting all the time determined not to be whipped cannot be whipped.” (This was one of Sweeley’s favorite passages). The game started with great excitement on both sides. During the entire first quarter the ball was kept in Danville’s territory. The second and third quarters ran high with excitement, but by the punting of Jones the Danville lads were held a safe distance from their goal. The climax of the game came when Danville on their one yard line failed to make downs. Jones then punted to safety. Danville then attempted a forward pass which was intercepted by Jones who made a spectacular run of 55 yards to Danville’s 25 yard line. The remainder of the game was played in the center of the field, neither team having a chance to score. Although the Georgetown lads did not win the game they won a moral victory and i this game will long be remembered by the eight seniors for whom it was X the last game of football played for G. H. S. —W. H. and L. J., ’25. 5 iTF5s Page Fifty-nine ATHLETICS-BASKETBALL rpHE basketball team of 1924 and 1925 was light and inexperienced. Two veterans remained from the team of the year before, Hess and McMillan, and it was around these two that the offense and defense was centered. The season’s playing was valuable because of the experience given to the new men who will form the team in the next two years. Interest in basketball was keener during the past season than it has ever been and this sort of interest and spirit will help produce better basketball teams. The team attended two tournaments, the county and the district, both held at Danville. In the county meet the team won its first game from Rankin and was defeated in the second round by Sidell. In the district meet Danville eliminated the team in the first round. In the seasonal play the team lost 10 games and won 5, not a brilliant record but they lost them fighting.

S. was held this year with two beautiful loving cups at stake; one for the girls and one for the boys. The seniors started out with a quickly-got-up team and easily downed the frosh 23-2 in the first tilt. Owing to the fact that thres of our players were ninth semester students, there was quite a bit of grumbling by the under-grads in the last games of the last semester. They were still seniors and nothing could make them ineligible although Sweeley’s iron hand held “Noisy’ and Hess out. The sophs were very confident of downing the seniors from the start, but when the final whistle blew in our second game, the seniors were on the long end of an 8-4 count. It was time for us to go on the floor for the game which was to decide whether the seniors would be the undisputed champs or whether there would be a tie for first. “Spig” and Martin made up the senior team. We soon found “Johnnie” and Muncy and went on the floor against the juniors who were determined to beat us. On the tip off “Spig” made a basket. At the half, those four fighting seniors had the juniors beaten 4-0. Smith was then added to our crew to finish out the team and in a game full of thrills, the seniors ended on top of an 8-4 score. —Frederick Martin, 25. 1 9 2 5 Page Sixty-two ATHLETICS-TRACK T I TRACK « As usual the spring of ’24 brought forth many track-fame aspirants. To cut down the number and keep the point men, Coach Bowen held a class meet by which he chose the more promising material. G. H. S. was entered in the Tiger track and field meet at Paris, in the State meet at Urbana, and in the County meet at Danville. They made a very good showing in the Danville meet, as Hess, Clark and McMillan made a total of 9 points. The boys were handicapped by not having men in all the events. Everything points, now to a brilliant season for ’25. Some old track stars have returned to school and Hess and McMillan are still on the job; so Georgetown ought to place somewhere near the top. As can be seen by the records below, Georgetown holds six county records and it would be like old times for the boys to bring back the medals this spring. —W. H., ’25.

Miss Schmalhausen, instructor does her best in trying to turn out finished products from the raw material given her to work upon. After a few exercises, comes the play. On warm days baseball games, with players rivaling the Giants, are held back of the school house. Here every girl can yell her loudest, w'hile down in the gym she must be moderate with her vocal donations as pupils are studying upstairs. When the bell rings every one rushes for the door and there are heated arguments as to who shall use “that comb or that powder puff” first. As usual the winner takes all and by the time a certain powder puff reaches some of the more unfortunate ones it is sadly devoid of powder, but nevertheless we take a dab at our noses and proceed to call it a day. Of course all the time isn’t taken up in exercises and athletics for in the spring comes the usual May Fete which causes a thrill in the heart of some junior girl as she is chosen May Queen. Page Sixty-four -OCVllQ U|rv o- ATHLETICS—GIRLS GYM Sophomore Basket Ball Lida Gudauskas—forward Gladys Goss—side center Thelma Davis—forward Ruby Cornelius—guard Anna Dailida—center Rachel Davenport—guard Whee what a team! A team that can’t be beat! Hurrah! When the ball is anywhere within reach of a sophomore its gone, for Lida can jump like a jumping-jack and lo, she has the ball. Then for the basket, Thelma and Lida, the star forwards, can make a basket everytime they throw for it, and Thelma can even make them backwards. The guards, how splendidly they guard! By casting a few wicked glances at each other they know where to stand to get the ball. The centers aren’t dead either; just a glance from Anna, then the tip-off and Gladys has the ball. And, oh how Gladys can run, like a streak of lightning. Truly, this is a team to be admired. Of this team Gladys and Lida were put on the “G” team, while Thelma, Ruby and Anna received places on the numeral team. Page Sixty-five 33 The G” Girls The basketball girls displayed much interest in the game this year. They played curtain raisers before all the regular games played on the home floor, except two. The inter-class tournament was especially interesting, because a silver loving cup was presented to the team winning the most points. This is the first time G. T. H. S. has shown this recognition of girls’ basketball. At the close of the tournament, two teams were chosen which are called the “G” team and the “Numeral” team. These girls were selected because of their fine sportsmanship, lack of roughness, few number of fouls against them, and their general good playing. Page Sixty-six Qjivoso- UlfNj ATHLETICS—GIRLS GYM T The G” Girls IOLA CLARK, center on “G” team, is a real jumper. GLADYS GOSS, side center on “G” team, is noted for always being in the right place at the right time. ELIZABETH DINSMORE, guard on “G” team, was in every game the seniors played and didn’t lose her temper once. RUTH STRADER, guard on “G” team, played her first basketball this year. LIDA GUDAUSKAS, forward on “G” team, can sure make the baskets, if she’s not excited. MARY McMAHON, forward on “G” team, is good at short shots. ANNA DAILIDA, center on “Numeral” team, reaches and the ball comes right down to her. MABEL PARKS, side center on “Numeral” team, is under weight, but she’s not so slow. RUBY CORNELIUS, guard on “Numeral” team, knows how to keep in front of her forward. THELMA DAVIS, forward on “Numeral” team, usually makes the basket after knocking the guard down to get her out of the way. HAZEL MORGAN, guard on “Numeral” team, is an all-around good player. LEILA PECK, forward on “Numeral” team, can make baskets, altho she does add a few fouls. The girls on both teams are splendid examples of good sportsmanship. Let’s have more like them. MISS SCHMALHAUSEN, coach, is noted for her remark, “Now, girls, don’t play so rough.” The “Numeral” Girls Page Sixty-seve SNAPS LITERARY ! LITERARY I I________ [ s T “Dad To The Rescue “No, I don’t want it; I won’t eat it, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t.” The cause of this very emphatic speech was a small dish of spinach, scarcely two teaspoonsful at the most. The owner of the lavishly given won’ts was Junior, a young chap of about ten, the baby and also the ruler of the family. “But, Junior,” remonstrated his mother, “spinach is good and makes you strong.” The young blond head shook wrathfully, and two blue eyes flashed. “I won’t, I said I wouldn’t and I won’t.” His mother sighed almost tearfully. “Junior, I’m afraid I must tell father of this and ask him to punish you.” The blue eyes raised to meet his mother’s, but mother’s didn’t smile, so he gulped and blinked back slowly forming tears. “Mother,” he said, “don’t tell Dad cause me an’ him’s good friends an’ I’ll eat the old spinach if you’ll let me go get an ice cream cone.” “Very well, son, but I’m glad we came to an agreement about it. Mother doesn’t like to see her little boy punished,” and she leaned over and kissed his cheek. “Now mother, there you go, humoring him,” broke in Elizabeth, the daughter of the house, who was just merging into her teens and very conscious of the fact. “No wonder he’s so mean. Believe me, if I had to contend with him I’ll bet I wouldn’t buy him off with an ice cream cone.” “0, you shut your trap,” shouted Junior across the table. “You ain’t got no sense anyhow an’ I’ll bet a quarter you never liked spinach either.” “Junior! Oh. Junior and Elizabeth, please don’t quarrel. It gets on mother’s nerves so, and Junior, I wish to know,” (here the tone changed) “where you picked up such language. If it’s from that Jones boy you shall stop playing with him immediately.” “Aw, mom, I heard Lizzie’s beau say it.” “My goodness gracious, Elizabeth Stanley, is that true and you scarcely thirteen years old?” Elizabeth blushed deeply and hung her head. “Tell me, Elizabeth, what does it mean?” “Wait a minute, mother, I’ll tell,” yelled Junior, “It’s that there Green l boy and green he is too. I seen him taking Lizzie into Dyers’ drug store ? and they got some ice cream, and you ought to seen Lizzie smile so sweet- Z like it was almost sickenin’, and he brought her home from the party the 5 p-JSTB Page Sixty-it inr y . LITERARY Lfjsums T other night. She didn’t know I seen her but I did, cause I was out on the roof. Now, mother, don’t look shocked, it was just too daggone hot to sleep and besides I heard some one talkin’ an’ I thought it might be burglars and I wanted to protect my family.” Junior finished triumphantly with a glance at the very angry Elizabeth. “Oh, you needn’t look so mad. The truth hurts, don’t it,” he whispered tauntingly. “Mother” she shouted. “Make him shut------” But Mrs. Stanley now held the floor. “Just think of it,” she cried. “Just two children and they fight like cats and dogs, and to think I don’t know half the time what they’re doing. Elizabeth, I’m going to tell your father.” About five hours later a light step was heard coming up the walk. It was Mr. Stanley, a tall man, who must have been an exact counterpart of Junior in his childhood days. He opened the door and stepped briskly into the hall. His wife came from the dining room. “Hello, dear,” she said. For an answer he lifted her from her feet and said, Hello, yourself, old girl. Where’s the kids?” Mrs. Stanley sighed wearily. “John, I don’t know what I’m going to do with them. Elizabeth, as I have been informed has aspirations toward the male sex and at her age it is preposterous.” “Now mother,” he said after he had laughed long and loudly,” you know that you yourself used to smile at me and I’ll bet a penny you weren’t even thirteen. Lizzie’s got sense because she’s her mother made over and I’ll leave it to her mother that she chose wisely.” Mrs. Stanley smiled, “John, you always say such flattering things and laugh at my worries. But perhaps it isn’t serious after all.” “No,” he answered. “Lets don’t worry about it. Where’s Junior?” “I don’t know, I haven’t the slightest idea, but John he is just too much for me, we had a scene at lunch to-day over the usual thing, spinach and he unintentionally told me he had climbed out on the roof. Just think of it! He might have fallen and broken his neck.” “Nope, no kid of mine would do that. Let him climb. Why, my mother used to say I was part monkey myself. As for spniach, I’ll talk to him about that.” Then the door banged and the subject of the conversation rushed in noisily, “Hi Dad. Say, do you know I’m pitcher on our ball team, and Dad there’s the swellest show on to-night, a regular thriller. Could I go?” “Well son, I’m glad my boy’s going to be a baseball player and as for the show I suspect we can get mother to doll-up and go along.” “Gee, Dad, but you’re a good sport.” Then Elizabeth came slowly down stairs. She gazed half curiously, half fearfully at her father. “Hello, Lizzie girl,” he said, “Come, tell Daddy all about it.” She almost fell down the stairs in her eagerness to reach him. Junior gave a look of disgust and went into the kitchen. Presently his strong young voice floated out, “Hi there, you old greenie, you needn’t come by Page Seventy QllvovO- LITERARY here ’cause my sis is goin’ to the show with us to-night. An’ my pa can lick you with one hand and eat ice cream with the other’n.” Then the window came down with a bang probably to shut out the angry reply and Junior appeared in the doorway with, “Say folks come on, ain’t we ever gonna eat?” —Doris Clay well. THE TULIP BED ’Twas early this morning I found them, Close huddled to shut out the cold, Those plump little bodies of greenness, In all, scarcely two days old. There they were; their tiny heads peeping From out the damp mold where they grew, At a time when they ought to be sleeping, With no thought of coming to view. —Doris Claywell. Sir Roger at The Movies” Sir Roger informed me the other evening that he was going to attend the new movie that very night, and if I so desired, I might go too. In fact, he said he would be delighted to have me accompany him. He had heard his friend, Will Wimble, say it was the greatest piece of art he had ever seen. “But,” Sir Roger said, “Will is never to be depended on. I doubt if it is as good as Harold Lloyd was in ‘Safety First,’ ” and I quite agreed with him. I called for Sir Roger about 8 o’clock in a taxi. He admitted it was the first time he had ever ridden in one and from the questions he asked I believed him. The taxi driver had one eye on the road and one on Sir Roger, our worthy friend being very sure he could soon learn to drive one of these things. Who knows? Perhaps the widow would look at him then. When we reached the theater, the orchestra was already playing and the lights were out. But nothing daunted, Sir Roger, before the usher could get to him, started down the aisle, looking for a seat. I meekly followed. He would tap the person next to the aisle, on the shoulder, then he would ask him if there were any vacant seats in that row. I was feeling embarrassed, but he went serenely on. Finally we were settled ready for the play to begin. Sir Roger thoroughly enjoyed the play. He would talk about what the villian was going to do. Then he would see some reminder of the widow, but I am sorry to say I could see no connection between them. t Through it all, he went through every motion the actor and actress did. 9 Several people were impolite enough to laugh at him. 2 When the lights came on, and we were filing out of the theater, Sir 5 5TRs Page Seventy-one LITERARY T i K p Roger saw his old friend, Sir Andrew Freeport. Turning to me he said, “Ah, Freeport told me he never visited a motion picture house, but I caught him this time.’ And all the way home, 1 could hear Sir Roger mumble. “I caught him this time.” —Helen Holaday, ’26. SPRINGTIME” The birds are singing merrily. The world is full of cheer. The silent brook flows cheerily, Because springtime is here. The flowers have wakened in the woods, From wintry beds so drear, The sun is shining as it should. Because springtime is here. The children skip back home from school. Thinking the close is near. With dreams of the old swimming pool, Because springtime is here. —Sudie A. Parker. 'The Welcome Pay Day” The countenance of the hoary headed miner, as he started home, was besmirched with coal dust, yet he wore a self satisfied smile that nothing or nobody could erase, and his merry eyes, full of hope spoke a cheery “Good evenin’ ” to the passer-by still more plainly than did his smiling lips. Even his ears seemed to stand up a little more sharply as if not to be behind the times, while his small, dirty cap sat awry on his head with quite a saucy defiant air. He started the usually weary walk homeward with a quick, eager step, his bucket swinging from his arm. How quickly he covered the distance that evening! Upon entering the main part of town, he was hailed by a newsboy, whereupon he bought the paper he usually disliked, patted the urchin upon the head, and with a merry wink told him to keep the change. —Helen Youmans. fSchool Days’ “School days, school days, Deal- old golden rule days.’’ I 9 What do our school days mean to us? When we look back on them, in 2 our retrospective moods, surely it is with pleasure. We remember the Page Seventy-two Ulro o- LITERARY larks we had at our parties, roasts and, yes, even, in school hours. But perhaps some, at least, look back on these same school days with regret. We realize now how much we missed and how lightly we took our opportunities. We wish that we had taken advantage of what was offered us and learned for the sake of learning rather than to just “get by.” T i “Readin’ and ’ritin’ and ’rithmetic Taught to the tune of a hickory stick.” In our high school course we had studies which corresponded to these. Also, at times, it seemed that they were pounded into our poor dumb heads to the tune of something very similar to a hickory stick when our teachers scolded and scolded because we couldn’t, or wouldn’t, or at any rate, didn’t learn. Our English, history, and math, fill as essential a part in the modern school life as the “Three R’s” did in the pioneer schools. Sometimes, too, they sounded and were as monotonous as the readin’ and ’ritin’ and ’rithmetic. “You were my queen in calico, I was your bashful barefoot beau, When you wrote on my slate, ‘I love you, Joe’.” School life would not be true to tradition if there were not the romances or the “cases” along with it. This phase may come in the freshman year or it may wait until the senior, but, sooner or later, the student must go through it. Perhaps the craze, if it may be called such, does not help the grades and seems to be rather a hindrance to the studies, but what would school be without it? No, we mustn’t leave out our romance when we sum up our school days. “When we were a couple of kids.” For we were kids then although we wouldn’t admit it. We thought we were grown men and women and fully capable of mastering the world when we walked so sedately across the platform to receive our diplomas. Now, we realize that we didn’t know anything then and our little worries and cares were as nothing compared to our big responsibilities as men and women of the world. How we wish we could go back to those irresponsible, care-free days “when we were a couple of kids.” —Helen Black, ’25. IN DREAMLAND I often dream of sailing the seas In a great big ship of blue, With sails as white as driven snow And a sailor lad so true. O my sailor lad, he’s mine I know. He’s mine, and his heart is, too; For it was his will to tell me so. As we sailed in his ship of blue. The sea gulls screamed quite noisily, As we sailed the boundless main But the great red sun rose majestically, And I found I’d been dreaming again. —Doris Claywell, ’27 STS Page Seventy-three T JUST A THOUGHT LITERARY Oh school days, happy high school days! Four years I’ve known thy joys. Four happy years I’ve trod'thy'halls, With scores of girls and boys; And now I find that these few years, So dear to me, must end; But in the days that are to come, You’ll be my cheering friend. For memories will come, I know, To cheer me from afar, My cares will vanish and I’ll find You’ve been my guiding star. This is s’posed to be an essay. An essay is somethin’ difficult so I thot I’d write one. Now, they’s lots of things I could write about, sech as all them great men we hear so much about, among who are Mr. Clark Emory and Mr. Arnold Donley. But I ain’t goin’ to write about them cause t’aint original and I want to be original. Well, I did think I’d write about sompin in nature sech as the big brick buildin’s or skyscrapers or elevators but they’ve been writ about so often I won’t tackle ’em to-day............. Them dots is s’posed to be the time when I was thinkin’ up sompin to write about and I’ve got it thot out. Well, my subjeck will be spring. I don’t know much to write about it but I’ll tell ye all I know ’bout it. In the first place, Spring comes ’bout the springtime of the year. It must be a turrible unhealthy time ’cause I’ve alius heared that ye ketch Spring fever ’round about that time and nothin’ can cure it. Ain’t that turrible, now? It do seem a pity, don’t it, when the doctors kin cure most anythin’ else. Well, they may discover how to cure it yit. But I’m gittin’ off my subjick. I don’t know much else that happens in Spring ’cept all the wimmin gits new hats and clothes and pa alius foots the bills. W ell, I guess I’ll quit. I don’t have nothin’ else to say and sides I’ve most run out of paper, too. I’m glad Spring is here and I hope none of ye won’t ketch Spring fever. —A. M. C., ’25. —Red-top Timothy.

We have to pay some people for being good, but freshies—they are good for nothing. A correct answer turneth away wrath. He who dissipates is lost. A diploma in the hand is worth two in the Prof.’s desk. Fritz-Olive—Is your husband an Elk or a Moose? Bo-Delia—Neither one, he’s just a dear. SENIORS (With apologies to Stevenson) If we have flunked more or less In our great task of leamedness If we have gone among our mates And shown no glorious morning face If glaring beams from teachers’ eyes Have moved us not, If morning skies, books and summer rain Have fallen on our heads in vain Prof, our sought for diplomas take And stab our spirits broad awake. —Elizabeth Dinsmore.

Page Ninety-five yj: CLASS PROPHECY T 1 CLASS PROPHECY I have just returned from a slumber in the Wildwoods of Georgetown. In my sleep I had a vision that brought back the remembrance of my beloved classmates of 1925. I saw a witch who phophesied the destiny of each classmate as I will reveal to you. I beheld Iola Clark at her father’s home on South State Street at the age of 67 years, still taking her lavender baths and dreaming of the $1,000,000 Dream Daddy of whom she was speaking on the road to the county tournament in 1925. Remember, Catharine? When I arrived at Lick Skillet, Illinois, I visited Marie Ramsey’s home, but Mrs. Ramsey kindly informed me that Marie was at the Burgoyne Flower and Undertaking Establishment, transplanting poison ivy for Phil. As I was traveling through the Sahara Desert I found Audrey Cobble following the corn plow for her husband. Just think of it! My heart went out to her. Raymond Nale, Lester Jones, and John Green were in Berlin, Germany, forming a conspiracy to complete the downfall of Napolean and revive the doings of Julius Caesar. Florence Byerley was in Georgetown trying to complete President Coolidge’s inaugural speech of 1925 in shorthand. Dale Hubbard and Gale McMillan were in Boston, Mass., selling dog licenses as a result of being shy of the girls. Sudie Parker was busy demonstrating how an Auburn coach could turn over in a ditch without injuring anyone. Some machine, isn’t it, Sudie? Warren Humrichouse was in Hollywood playing the part of Buck Jones in “When a Man’s a Shiek.” His leading lady was William Smith. This play was written in Shakespeare’s time, so William is taking the place of Iola. Mabel Shute, formerly Mabel Parks, was in Danville. I found that she was especially proud of her cooking and carried away all the prizes each fall at the I. and I. fair. Elizabeth Dinsmore, after several heart-breaking romances and divorces, was industriously working for a relief fund in China in order to reestablish Dukes’ Cafe. In my traversal of the Wilds of the Bahama Islands, I found Frederick Martin, who had become a missionary in order to follow his lost friend, Missionary Lula. Harry Mitchell was picked up by the speed cops on the ocean for running his Ford without gasoline. Mildred Ramey certainly has surpassed her class mates of 1925 by becoming the wife of Lloyd-George’s great-grandson.

Davis, Democratic nominee, in 1925. Marion Muncy was in Murphysboro, Illinois, building skyscrapers and board stretchers. Margaret Lenhart, as you know, left for Utah after her graduation in 1925. She married a Monnon and seemed to be very happy. Lelia Peck also lived in Utah and gave a concert daily on the organ in the great Mormon temple at Salt Lake City. Helen Black has spent ten years of study in Harvard, and finally has received her B. S. degree. She has returned to Georgetown, and established a Domestic Science Academy. Mary McMahon was in the Philippine Islands, campaigning for their independence. She had lost the sympathetic way she used to have in G. H. S. and become a radical suffragette.
