The art editor has worked hard in carrying out this plan and we are sure that it will be enjoyed by everyone and will add to your appreciation of the high school building. The members of the staff hope that the Swastika will bring pleasure to all of the friends of Georgetown High School. WARD N. BLACK, A. B. Union Christian College University of Illinois Clarke University University of Michigan University of Indiana TIGARD N. BLACK, Superintendent of the Georgetown City Schools and Principal of the Georgetown Township High School, at the end of this term, will have completed five years of educational work in Georgetown. Since he began his work at the high school, the enrollment has doubled; new courses have been added; and many departments have been enlarged. He has shown much interest in the welfare of the young people and has joined with them in their work and in their play. Mr. Black’s work has been very successful and he has made many friends who wish him still greater success in the future. 1926 Page Eight WARD N.

Priscilla has only been among us for a year and a half but what with giving us the low-down on Madison, keeping track of affairs in Washington, and advancing the latest views on every thing, she manages to keep things going. Her ambition is to become famous and so far she has always beeii on the honor roll. RUSSELL M. BARR, “Runt Ridgefarm 1; H. S. Orchestra 3, 4; Com’l Club 3; Lumo Ruido 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4. Russell must be Scotch-Irish, judging from his indignation when his theories in physics are opposed. “In arguing, too, Runt Barr did own his skill, for even though vanquished, he could argue still.” But you must admit he’s a dandy good sort and appreciates a joke with a hearty laugh. MARIE V. BAUM, “Weenie” Operetta 3, 4; Glee Club 1-4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; May Fete 1, 2, 3; Junior Play; Flower Club 2; B. B. 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4. Marie has a truly marvelous voice and has been in four choruses. It was utterly useless to try to talk her into being in a fifth one. She also likes acting but she dislikes vamp roles, being (as she says) wholly unsuited for them. Of course “you all know Alphie” at the carnival. PHILIP BURGOYNE, “Phil” Class President 1, 2; Latin Club 2; Com’l Club 3; Ag. Club 3, 4; Bird and Flower Club 2; Glee Club 3, 4; Extempore 3, 4; Yell Leader 3; Operetta 3; Ag. Play 4. Philip came out for extempore speaking and proved to be the mouth piece for the class. However he works best in a flowery setting, and we predict a quiet, restful future in a large greenhouse of his own. LOUIS CLIFT, “Louie” Football 1, 2, 3; Basketball 1; Class President 1, 3, 4; Com’l Club 3; Orchestra 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4. Louis is a busy man. What with running an orchestra, getting Swastika ads, and taking care of “Runt”, he’s always busy. What will we do without his xylophone next year? 1926 Page Eighteen ROBERT CLIFT, “Bob” Ag. Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika, art, 4. We have to give Bob due credit for his artistic talents, because every time Runt Barr wants a funny picture he knows just where to go. As for getting this annual out without his aid, it would have been “pert nigh impossible. Another thing, he has, so far, managed to keep out of dangerous and entangling alliances or to at least silence all rumors. HELEN E. HOLADAY Bird and Flower 2; Latin Club 1, 2, 4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Girls Club 2, 3, 4; B. B. 1, 3, 4; Class Secretary 2; May Fete 3; Junior play; Declamation 1, 4; Purple and White 3; Tennis Club 3; Swastika 4. Helen, according to her own confession “has been in hot water ever since she’s been in high school.” However it is generally the other people that nearly drown. They never can remember that Helen’s probably just fooling. GUY F. LEWIS Danville 1, 2; Com’l Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Latin Club 4; Junior play. “Gee, why did heaven waste such a marcel on a boy?” was Helen’s remark when she first saw Guy. Guy is just as fine a fellow as his hair is wavy. FLORENCE McMASTER Latin Club 1, 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Bird and Flower 1, 2; Secretary-Treasurer 4; Girls’ Club 1, 2, 3; Swastika 4; Purple and White 3; May Fete 1, 2. Florence is the only one of us, so far, to realize her ambition. She is teaching school. When opportunity knocked at her door she cried, “Entrez-vous.” LOUIS MAVIN MALOY Class President 2; Com’l Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Librarian 4. Mavin has spent most of his time this year managing the library and has done it most efficiently. His other serious occupation has been coaching a class of one in geometry. 1926 Page Nineteen MARY LOUISE REES, “Louisa” Bird and Flower, 2; Latin Club 1, 2, 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; B. B. 2, 3, 4; Secretary-Treasurer 1; May Fete 1, 3; Junior play; Operetta 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4; Tennis Club 1-3; Chorus 1-4; Orchestra 3, 4. This little Kiri has been one of the best workers in high school and has taken part in many of its activities. However in counting: up the things that she had done she was deeply chagrined to find that H. H. had gone her a few better. Some of her ambitions are to get up a successful senior party; sing first soprano in the chorus; and play basketball without making faces. MARY J. RICHARDS, “Peggy” Bird and Flower 2; May Fete 1, 2, 3; B. B. 1-4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Track 3; Purple and White 3; Com’l Club 3, 4; Swastika 4. “Mary Richards always has something funny to say,” we heard some one remark the other day. She is a good worker and is always on the spot whether it’s cleaning up after a stand or chasing down alumni addresses. ORA BELLE DUKE Monticello 1, 2; Purple and White 3. Ora Belle is one of those modern speed demons (on the typewriter, we mean). She can print, too, and we always call on her when we want some neat posters made. JOSEPH LLOYD EDMONDS, “Joe” Football 1-4; Basketball 2; Track 2, 3; Lumo Ruido 4; Com’l Club 4; Junior Play; President 3. Joe has finally decided that he will have to leave G. H. S. He will be remembered as one of our best football men. Moreover, he has shown a remarkable spirit in leading the senior basketball team through a wonderful season. He was always sure of one stanch supporter during all those heart-rending mixups. 1926 Page Twenty MABLE M. ELLIOTT. “Shorty” Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Purple and White 3; May Fete 1, 2. Mable comes from the west and her interest extends even as far west as Catlin. She always has a pleasant smile or you might even spell it g-r-i-n. CLARK D. EMORY Latin Club 1, 2; Football 1. 2; Junior Play; Com’l Club 3; Lumo Ruido 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4; Extempore 3, 4. Clark has been one of the willing workers of the class and will stick to a skillet until the last hot dog is dead. He is fond of public speaking and is thinking seriously of becoming a lawyer. However he is a bit sentimental and has been known to write poetry. GLADYS MAYBELLE EMORY Bird and Flower Club 2; Latin Club 1, 2, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; B. B. 1-4; May Fete 1, 2, 3; Chrmn Class Soc. Comm. 1-4; Junior play; Tennis Club 3; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Maybelle always has a pleasant smile and jnaybe that’s why she has so much trouble with her dates. Her chief interest this year has been doing startling things to her hair. MILLARD HARMON Purple and White, Editor, 3; Swastika, Editor, 4; Tennis Club 2, 3; Latin Club 1, 2; Com’l Club 3, 4 (Pres. 4); Operetta 3, 4; Bird and Flower 2; Junior plays; Oration 4. Millard has been our dramatics comedian and editor until we’ve come to depend on him Beside taking part in all the plays and quarreling with Helen Holaday, he’s been on the honor roll every month of his high school course and generally at the head. 1926 Page Twenty-one JOSEPHENE SMITH, Jo Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; B. B. 1-4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Latin Club 2, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4; Junior Play; Operetta 4. You always think of Josephene with a smile of appreciation. She has worked hard in school and will certainly create a bright spot in some busy business man’s office. Moreover, if she’s like the general run of stenographers, she might even go a step farther. She has had some theatrical experience so we bet on her. VIVIAN LUCILE THORNTON B. B. 1-4; Latin Club 1, 2, 4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4. Vivian is little but she’s mighty. She started in so young that it’s only this year that she has been able to reach the floor with her feet when she sits in the assembly chairs. PAUL WILLISON Class President 1, Vice-President 4; Ag. Club 1, 2, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4, Capt. 4; Ag. play 4; Com’l Club 3; Lumo Ruido, Vice-President 4; May Fete 2; Operetta 3; F. L . H. Club 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4. Paul was one of the mainstays of the football team. His great personality has also attracted must attention across the footlights. It’s wonderful what a great change attending high school has made in Paul. One prominent senior Miss was heard to say that since becoming captain of the football team, taking up the use of Stacomb, and appearing in sheik breeches all the fair ones fall for his line. HELEN V. YOUMANS Santa Rosa, Cal. 2; I atin Cluh 1, 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4, Pres. 4; Glee Club 1-4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Declamation, winner of county contest 1, 3; Oration 4; B. B. 1-4; Tennis Club 2, 3; Operetta 3, 4; May Fete 1; Junior Play. Helen is always bubbling over either with a plan for the Girls’ Club, or with enthusiasm for somebody she “just loves’’, or with some secret she won’t tell. She has won two gold medals for Georgetown and is still working for her Alma Mater’s honor. 1926 Page Tiventy-two Class PropKec)) STATION G. T. H. S. broadcasting its annual alumni program from Georgetown Township High School, June 1, 1936. The first number on our remarkable program will be a favorite selection, rendered by Mile. Baum who is now starring in grand opera at Kellyville, Illinois. She will give us, “You Gotta See Your Mammy Every Night.” Mile. Baum is accompanied by the Honorable Guy Lewis, on the animated dishpan in a minor scale. Guy has, of late, finished his contracts with the New York Symphony Orchestra. We now have the pleasure of announcing that we just received an encore and an appreciation call from Mr. and Mrs. Mavin Maloy who are now residing in Buffalo, New Hampshire, where Mavin is teaching sewing and home economics in high school. Our next number, which I know every one will appreciate, will be given by Miss Helen Youmans who has just returned from New Guinea where she has been teaching expression to the natives. Her reading will be on the “love making generation.” Thanks for the claps—we haven’t time to bother about the encore. We have just received a letter from Miss Helen Holaday who is wintering in gay Paree. In the spring she tells us she is going to join a society of nuns to whom she will incidentally teach the Charleston. We shall now be favored by a polka, given by Madame Pierott, formerly Miss Mary Louise Rees. It is only within the last year that this latest miracle, that of transferring pictures by radio, has come to pass and we are glad to favor our audience with this number. Immediately after graduation, Mary joined the South African Follies and persuaded Leo to go too, but he got tired trying to keep tab on Mary and after three months he returned, a physical wreck. After this disaster, Mary joined the Follies in France. The number on our program to be given next is presented by a mixed quartet, Russell Barr playing the lute, Ora Belle Duke the xylophone, Louis Clift the Jew’s harp, and Guy Lewis his dishpan. They have travelled all through Grape Creek County and have made one great hit. It is recorded by the federal authorities that this famous company was given the honor of killing the wild cat near Fairmount. Folks, we have now tuned in on England where a court case is in procedure. The defendant’s lawyer is Clark Emory and the prosecuting lawyer, Phillip Burgoyne. Clark is defending Miss Clark who was brought 1926 Page Twenty-three to trial for having dyed her hair black. Now she is blaming her action upon the druggist who was Robert Clift. Robert denies the charge but on looking at Clark’s red face and Philip’s perspiring brow it seems that there’s something rotten in England. We will now be favored with a dance hopped by Monsieur Harmon and Mademoiselle Richards. They are perfect artists. Millard waved the red flag and Mary took it up. They are now starring in some of the largest villages, such as Ridgefarm and Broadlands. (They seemed very anxious for their encore. Mary slipped, Millard tried to stop her, caught his toe and both fell flat, then made a gracious bow to the audience.) Our next number will be a musical selection, directed by Joe Edmonds. He has become very famous, since immediately after graduation from G. H. S. he went to the South Sea Islands where he accepted a position as musical director in a deaf and dumb school which was founded by the Honorable Mable Elliott who will appear next in New York City giving lectures on helpful service for the dumb. You will be very grateful, I’m sure, to have the opportunity of listening tonight to an address on the morals of Washington, D. C. This will be given by Mrs. Davis, formerly Miss Priscilla Arthur who was a graduate of G. H. S. in 1926. She has been in various projects since her marriage but now has very kindly promised to favor us with this lecture. Next we shall be favored with a delicate musical trio by the Misses Vivian Thornton, Josephene Smith and Florence McMaster. They have accomplished world feats and once broke the record for running the scale. They are now, and have been for the past two years, engaged as a company playing for the inmates of the Kankakee Asylum. Please stand by and you will be given a selection by Miss Maybelle Emory’s barnyard chorus. She has spent all her life teaching roosters to sing and now claims that she has some hens that will actually crow. Mr. Paul Willison will now entertain you with a lecture on “How to Teach Ducks to Swim.” He was chosen as Secretary of Agriculture and so far as we know is giving splendid service. As the concluding number on our program, the entire class of ’26 will render a mixed song. We gratefully appreciate your patience in standing by and listening to our program. We believe that you will all agree that the class of 1926 has made wonderful strides in the world and has done much to make it a better place in which to live. 1926 Page Twenty-four Class Will of 1926 WE, the wine-imbibing constituents of the class of ’26. being mentally defective, just before kicking-off feel an insane desire to bestow upon the innocent (?) !! pates of our followers the many intense weaknesses which have proved our undoing. As a group we take pleasure in bequeathing our bright and shining faces and our unexcelled stupidity to that notorious class, the juniors. As individuals with staggering characters, we bequeath our failings, too numerous to mention, as herein depicted below. I, Helen E. Holaday, will to H. Don Sweeley my ability to answer the telephone calls from Sidell. I, Maybelle Emory, hand down my yellow sweater to Howard Oscar to get him steamed up on cold winter days so that he can get to school on time. I, Mary Richards, will my good times in manual training to Ruth Strader. Take good care of William, Ruth, and don’t shut him up in the store room. I. Robert Clift, bequeath to Robert Chapman and to Ruby Cornelius the right to place my initials upon any manuscript or other work of their own creation. I, Mavin Maloy, leave to Harold Tarrant, the right to talk to the girls every time he gets a chance, while holding down the position as assistant librarian. I. Russell Barr, will my spectacles to Mr. H. Don Sweeley to help him find the grades of the class of ’27. I, Clark Emory, do hereby leave to Maxwell Jones my ability to make love to all the pretty girls. Do your stuff. Maxwell. I, Helen Youmans, leave my ability to enthuse on all subjects to Santo Paradiso and my long list of victories for the school to Ruth Sheets. I, Louis Clift, leave the sole right m d privilege of going to sleep in Miss Clark’s French class to Paul Mills. You will also be expected to supply the bass drum accompaniment to Miss Clark’s lectures, Paul. I, Priscilla Arthur, will my precious and rattling “Woodstock” to Mack McGee. Please keep it well oiled and dusted. Mack. I, Joe, Edmonds, bequeath to Paul Mills, my right to sit on the front row in all class rooms. I, Ora Belle Duke, leave my civics book to anyone who has the ability to use it. I, Mable Elliott, leave my seat in the assembly to Alice Lacey providing it is small enough. I, Paul Willison, leave my ability to “kid” all the girls and then give them the cold shoulder, to Paul Galyen, my cave-man namesake. 1926 Page Twenty-five I, Marie Baum, will my place as leading lady in the operettas to anyone silly enough to hold the position. I. Mary Louise Rees, leave my interest in the freshman class to someone that has the desire to take care of it. I might suggest Bernice Hough-ten or Ruth Strader. I, Vivian Thornton, leave my great height to Paul Mills. I, Guy Lewis, leave my speed to Ray Maloy. Better try a junior, Ray. I. Florence McMaster, bequeath my right to teach school the first semester after graduation to Anna Dailida. I. Philip Burgoyne, will my right to get to school late every morning to Lester Loving. Don’t be too late, Lester. 1. Millard Harmon, do hereby bequeath to John Ramey all the trials and tribulations of the editor of an annual. I urge him to try not to quarrel too much with the girls of the staff and wish him much joy in the many hours he must spend urging the members of his staff to get in their copy. I, Josephene Smith, leave my place by Bill Snapp in botany class to whoever wants it. But beware, you won’t keep it long. Lastly, We, the class of 1926 do hereby make, constitute and appoint Ward N. Black, Executioner of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed my seal. Louis Clift, President O SENIORS! The fourth year is well-nigh past, Since first our lot at high school was cast; Ah, would that this were not the last! 0 Seniors! But well thou playedst the student’s part. And all thy studies with magic art Have wound themselves about thine heart, 0 Seniors! Our spirits have a fuller glow; They see us daily stronger grow; ’Twas our success that made us so, 0 Seniors! And when our future lot is cast With those so glorious in the past, We’ll ever hold the memory fast 0 Seniors!

H. S. There were forty-five of us but since that time many of those who started with us have entered upon other duties, such as keeping house or making their own way in the world, while others just couldn’t study. During our first year most of the boys came out for football, basketball and track, but a freshman seldom has a chance to become a star. Our second year at G. H. S. was filled with so many activities that the time flew by. We had several boys on the football team and in the basketball squad, and we were well represented in track. The girls, too, took a much more active part in athletics that year. They won the class basketball tournament and took first place in the inter-class track meet. In 1925 we came back to school as juniors. This year John Ramey was elected president, an office which “Mack” McGee held for the first two years. Raymond Savage was vice-president and William Tucker held the office of secretary-treasurer. This year we have been very successful in athletics having letter men both in football and basketball. The junior girls were again fortunate in winning the inter-class basketball games. The trophy cup has been ours two years in succession and it is up to us to see that it goes to the senior class next year. All of us now are looking forward to the time when we may be called “Seniors.” M., ’27. 1926 Page Twenty-eight THE JUNIOR CLASS Juniors This promising class of twenty-seven Must have a through ticket straight to heaven. Or else I couldn’t start my rime About this bunch, who if given time Will surprise many people within our clime With deeds which will show their minds sublime. When it comes to girls we’ve got the trumps Wouldn’t this bunch give your heart the jumps? Whether it’s honor roll, sports, dates or worse, The junior girls, they still come first. And the boys are handsome and bright, though slow As one glance at the picture will easily show. Yes we’re a bright bunch and we want you to know it The only bad part is our worthless class poet. V.

We finally absorbed enough knowledge to lift us to the eighth grade and struggling through it, we received our diplomas. In 1924, as freshmen, we entered the grand and glorious institution known as the Georgetown Township High School. After we had been ordered around by upper classmen for about two weeks, we had our first class meeting in Miss Henderson’s room. We elected our officers and were invited to a party by the sophs. There, we verdant freshmen were grandly entertained by the lordly sophomores and we repaid our debt to them with a weiner roast minus the weiners. The rest of the year passed without any great calamities other than two parties. We started our sophomore year by electing officers and giving the freshmen a party. They kindly returned this favor with a Christmas party at which Santa Claus showered us with a variety of presents. Since we are now safely out of the freshman class we feel sorry for them and pity them from the bottom of our hearts, but yet not enough to forget the sophomore’s privilege of bossing them. The sophomore class has contributed its share to the athletics of the year. Some of the best athletes in school come from this class and the sophomore boys won the inter-class basketball tournament. Now that we will soon give up our place to the class of ’29, we hope they will take our high ideals and carry the banner on to honor and glory. D. R. and E. B. 1926 Pa ye Thirty SOPHOMORE CLASS The Land of Soph Once upon a time there was a land of Soph, Where lived the sophomores ruled by a prof. There were under the prof many officers to rule This little land of study, where none could fool. 'Twas a nice land to look to and a fine place to enter, But when the time passed and you were in the center You could but wish that you had more time to work. And reap your nice reward like a real smart Turk. But after all, our class is as happy as can be For good times make up for the troubles don’t you see. After you have been a freshie and become a bit wise You think this land a haven of Paradise. H. B„ ’28. 926 Page Thirty-one THE FRESHMEN GIRLS A STRANGE INVENTION A S I was crossing the Sahara Desert, my camel suddenly ran away and - ■ left me submerged in a hill of cocoanuts and without further means of conveyance. Just as I was shaking off the last cocoanut, I chanced to look toward the south and saw an old man approaching on roller skates. He noted my predicament and kindly offered me a pair of the so-called roller skates and bade me follow him. We came to an igloo without either doors or windows. He said, “Will you pardon me if I enter first?” I, of course, insisted that he do so. So we walked through the wall and into a brilliantly lighted room. Immediately he led me across the room to see his new invention. It was the only one of its kind. He said that many interesting things had been brought before him by means of this instrument. He asked my opinion of what he had seen the night before. As I looked through his telescope he turned the first dial to one, the second to nine, the third to one, and the fourth to seven. Through the mist and the fog I saw Father Time raise the curtain on a group of chubby, bashful boys and beribboned girls with stiffly starched aprons. 1926 Page Thirty-two THE FRESHMAN BOYS This took place at the Washington school at Georgetown, Illinois. Mrs. Dukes, the primary teacher was beating time while they marched in. The scene grew dimmer and he changed the dials to 1-9-1-9, and it showed the same group two years later at the Seminary building. The old man then changed the dials again. He shifted them to 1-9-2-5, and I saw the same class, but much more dignified, on graduation night. When their names were called, some stumbled to the front of the stage and all frantically clutched the rolls of paper that were offered them. The setting now changed to a larger and more pretentious building with members of the same group preoccupied in making their way from class to class without getting lost. In the year 1-9-2-6 I observed these studious individuals tamed to the ways of the high school, and another rather small body of freshmen struggling through hardships too numerous to be named. I glanced up from the telescope with a smile of pleasure on my face. “What’s it all about?” he said excitedly. I replied, “That is the history to date of the class of 1929.” Katherine McMahon, ’29 926 Page Thirty-three Freshman Roll John Androusky Robert Berry Dorothy Burd Steve Chantos Robert Chapman Mary F.

Prince So Sli and Saucer Eyes were true villains and should have had their heads chopped off as was decreed. As for the Emperor What-for-Whi, he was perhaps a bit vain, but much can be overlooked in such an able ruler. In the end, he gave the lovers his blessing. “Princess Chrysanthemum” consisted of many charming solos, choruses, and dances, which the whole cast gave in a very interesting manner. The costumes were very “Japanesey” in effect and the flitting fans and bowing maidens seemed to transport the audience to flowery Japan. The setting in the second act was quite realistic and the audience was so afraid that Saucer Eyes might really have some magic power that everyone gave a sigh of relief when Fairy Moon-beam appeared to rescue the princess. 926 Page Thirty-eight PS BWTORkWWffl PRINCESS CHRYSANTHEMUM Princess Chrysanthemum.........

Throughout the play Sir Roger paid careful attention and appeared very much interested; but on several occasions he made remarks to me about the actors and particularly about the widow. On one occasion he remarked to me, “I should like to see Mr. Lawyer get the best of the widow but he would have to be a smart man, a smart man indeed.” He told me that aunt Jubilee reminded him of one of his old colored servants at home who always went into “high-sterics” whenever she heard “spooks and burglums.” Sir Roger said that he admired Senator McCorkle and that he was his idea of a proud, stately old gentleman who looked out for the welfare of his children. My friend’s aged and wrinkled face took on a softer expression when he told me that the romance between Ted and Elsie reminded him of the days when he was young and gay and went to see the widow. He said that Miss Garwood reminded him of the widow because she was so well educated and held herself aloof from Mr. Man much as he had been treated by the widow. For Skeet Kelly to fall in love with Molly Maeklin was only natural, my friend thought because she was so resourceful and courageous and such a lovable type of woman. To make the play complete Sir Roger thought that Mr. Stone should have married Miss Loganberry. However, this union would have been very disastrous for the villain because Miss Loganberry “simply couldn’t tolerate that man.” On our way home, Sir Roger said that he admired my judgment of plays and that this was one of the best he had ever seen.

We find that many people do not know that Swastika means, good luck, and has held a similar meaning in many lands and for many years. Well it might have done that, but as you know, times and customs change and after wrestling with the trials that beset an annual staff we have unanimously agreed that it should symbolize bad luck. How that glue did stick to fingers but the pictures simply wouldn’t stay put. But don’t let all this colorless talk cool your ardor for the annual because it’s just chuck full of pictures and interesting accounts of our school life.

Subscribe for the Purple and White! Boost your class! Be independent! Read your own paper and not your neighbors’! TOURING the first of the semester this little sermon was preached to JL' every student in G. H. S. and many people outside heard the same. What was it all about? Oh, the juniors had a campaign on, getting subscriptions for the paper they were going to publish. The Purple and White had been published the three preceding years, so the juniors again took up the task. Mr. Black gave the class a talk about the amount of money and work it would take to put the paper out. It looked like real business and a big proposition, but the class was unanimously in favor of trying their luck. So a committee was appointed which in turn selected those who seemed the best fitted to fill efficiently the different positions on the Purple and White staff. Instead of working to sell single copies, the aim this year was to get yearly subscriptions. A contest was started to add interest. Through this means about two hundred subscriptions were obtained. The one getting the greatest number was rewarded with a free subscription to the paper. John Ramey was made editor-in-chief. Although he had no experience in this line of work, with the aid of Miss Rees, he has done much toward making the paper successful. The first paper was published in October, and the publication has continued throughout the year, one being published every three weeks. The publication of the Purple and White has aided the class as well as being interesting to the school. The paper has given accounts of school news and affairs. Through this paper the staff has learned to assume responsibility and received excellent training which will greatly aid in putting out the annual next year. A.

Club program for 1926 was the A annual peanut banquet which was held on the night of October 13. At this meeting the officers were officially installed and about twenty new members were initiated into the club. The initiation ceremonies consisted of dark and mysterious rites which caused much dread and many thrills. Glen Le Count gave a short talk about the week he spent at Springfield at the boys’ state fair school, representing this district. His report written about the school won first place for the boy from the country. At the end of the meeting everybody scrambled for peanuts. “A FULL HOUSE” The Ag. play, “A Full House,” made its appearance November 24, making a great hit with a large audience. It was said to be the best play ever put on by the Ag. Club and that’s saying a whole lot. It was unique because of the fact that all the parts were taken by boys, making the play all the better and funnier. Some of the boys forgot to act ladylike but the audience didn’t seem to notice it.

One hundred and twenty-five dollars were given away in cash prizes and in the majority of cases there was some pretty stiff competition. The exhibits shown included everything from cats to radios. Mr. Edwards, agriculture teacher at Oakland, judged the grain and Mr. Walters of the Danville Baby Chick Hatchery judged the poultry. The fair showed a great improvement over last year and from the way 926 l‘uge Fifty THE AGRICULTURAL CLUB the people of the community boosted it, must be gaining in favor and will certainly be kept up in the future. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE YEAR On November 16, Mr. Adams took the two agriculture classes to Cat-lin where they attended the hog sale of J. Jeffries. The trip and experience gained were enjoyed by everyone, except Paul Galyen who says he would rather get off and walk when the trailer turns a corner near mud puddles. On September 2, the two teams entered from Georgetown in the I. and I. stock judging contest at Danville won third and fourth places. On November 12, the agriculture classes attended the K. and S. corn show at Danville and learned a lot they didn’t know about corn besides watching the boys from Georgetown carry away their share of the prize money. On January 13, the first Ag. party of the year was given. It was supposed to be a couple party, but most of the boys got bashful and couldn’t get a girl to take. However, the ones who were present had a good time even though someone did steal part of the ice cream. Another important feature of the year is the boys’ glee club which was formed early in the year under the supervision of Mr. Adams. It has been practicing quite regularly and made its most important appearance last fall at the school carnival. SPRING ACTIVITIES Among the activities planned for the spring are the district and state judging contests. These will close a very successful club year. 926 Page Fifty-one The Latin Club OFFICERS CONSULS—Doris Claywell, Chester Loving.

There have been many speculations as to what its very original name might signify. One of its most amusing nicknames is the “Lumbago” club. There is a membership of twelve, nine boys and three girls. The first part of the name of the club stand for the boys, and the Ruido for the girls. We’ll tell you that Ruido means squad. Can you guess the riddle? In spite of its “Lumbago”, however, the members of the club are an active “bunch” and interesting trips and experiments have been planned to be carried out in the spring. 1926 Page Fifty-three pf WRWWTO F.

You know a girl just droops and withers if she doesn’t know everything everyone else knows and somethings they don’t know. Oh well, what’s a name anyway? The boys have done noble work in cheering on Georgetown athletes to victory and showing other towns that Georgetown is a good all around sport. 1926 Page Fifty-four H. S. T. F.

This was a common question at the beginning of the year when a popular and “peppy” group of girls met together and organized a secret club. It isn’t known for certain yet but at least we began to get a hint as to the purpose of the organization when the girls appeared at a basketball game bedecked in costumes of purple and white and showing enough spirit to urge any team to do its best. May the H. S. T. F. keep up the good work! We’re glad at any rate, that the girls aren’t behind the boys when it comes to school loyalty. 1926 Page Fifty-five “G” I and I Teams State Judges Isn't he just TOO Sweet ?

DON SWEELEY, COACH, is a graduate of Susquehanna University, Pennsylvania. Mr. Sweeley took part in three major sports while in college, football, basketball, and baseball. He was captain of the football and basketball teams in his senior year. Mr. Sweeley’s first coaching position was at Westfield, Illinois. Later he spent two years at Casey, Illinois. He came to Georgetown two years ago and during the time he has been here Georgetown has put out two good football teams. Under his guidance another year we can expect winning football and basketball teams. Mr. Sweeley has made a host of friends during his past years in Georgetown. PAUL WILLISON—Tackle. Senior. Captain of the crew. A conscientious, hard-fighting leader. None went through him and but few around. NOBLE MADDEN—Backfield. Junior. A powerful offensive and defensive back. Lost to next year’s team on account of being born too soon. Too bad. 1926 Page Fifty-nine EDMONDS LAWLYES DEBARBA STEPHENSON GALYEN WILLIAMS OTIS EDMONDS—Backfield. Sophomore.

Both necessities in this game. Another year. His motto, “Bigger and better.” 1926 Page Sixty-one THE GAMES ROSSVILLE 0 SEPTEMBER 26 GEORGETOWN 20 The first game of the season was a good one although Rossville had the heavier team and the advantage of having played one game before coming to Georgetown, but Georgetown played a bit better game. It was mostly straight football with little of the spectacular. Georgetown started with the kick off and profited by several of Rossville’s fumbles and by intercepting passes. The game was played with a slippery ball owing to rain before and during the game. PARIS 2 OCTOBER 3 GEORGETOWN 10 Paris came up with a team that was considerably heavier than ours. The playing was done under a grey sky and on a wet field. The game was characterized by a good deal of punting on both sides which was all that saved Paris from a worse defeat as Georgetown was the stronger in line work. HOOPESTON 18 OCTOBER 10 GEORGETOWN 0 Coach Brasel’s eleven trounced Georgetown 18-0, with the use of a brilliant aerial attack which completely puzzled Sweeley’s men. The purples had no defence for the passes which flew thick and fast. The Georgetown line was able to hold the straight attack of the visitors. MILFORD 6 OCTOBER 17 GEORGETOWN 6 The game was a hard fought battle from start to finish. In spite of the wet field both teams showed speed and good team work. Milford made their touchdown on a trick play but failed to kick goal. Georgetown made their touchdown in a line plunge. SIDELL 13 OCTOBER 23 GEORGETOWN 0 Georgetown invaded Sidell on Friday afternoon and were defeated 13-0. The fact that this was Georgetown’s first game away from home this season probably caused the boys to take stage fright, although it did not seem so, as the score was 0 to 0 at the end of the first half. Sidell made their first touchdown from a fake place-kick which developed into an end run. Sidell was the first team that could make successive gains through the Georgetown line. 1926 Page Sixty-two WATSEKA 7 OCTOBER 31 GEORGETOWN 3 After outplaying the red and white for nearly three-quarters of the game a short pass resulting in a touch down paved the way for the defeat of the Georgetown eleven. The purple and white warriors did not display their customary spirit and fight which might have altered the score even though they were the lighter team. OAKLAND 6 NOVEMBER 7 GEORGETOWN 8 After losing two games in a row, Coach Sweeley’s lads held the fast Oakland team to a tie. The team displayed more spirit than in any previous game. Nothing but straight football was played. SHELBYVILLE 0 NOVEMBER 14 GEORGETOWN 6 In spit of the fact that the undefeated Shelbyville team was heavier than the purple and white eleven, large gains were made through their line. Georgetown made a touchdown in the second quarter of play through the line but failed to kick goal. The ball was in the possession of the Georgetown team a great deal of the time but due to some ill luck they could never carry it over the line for a second touch down. This was the Home-Coming game for Georgetown and in spite of several showers of rain during the game there was a good crowd on the side lines. MARTINSVILLE 0 NOVEMBER 21 GEORGETOWN 3 Coach Sweeley’s crew sailed into this foreign port and won a hard fought battle by a single place kick. The team showed splendid spirit and played a good game under heavy odds. A good crowd from Georgetown witnessed the game. 1926 Page Sixty-three Obe Lives of Football Men The lives of football men remind ’em How they write their names in blood Then departing leave behind them Half their faces in the mud. I hit the line with my head My feet were on the ground But they flew up in the air instead And oh, what a ringing sound. Again I hit with greatest care The best hit of the year But there happened to be no one there And I lit right on my ear. The whistle blew, the game was o’er And slowly we walked from the field Close followed Sweeley and closed the door And my land, how he spieled. He said, “you’re a lazy wonder,” With a voice so loud and clear, “When the roll is called up yonder, Say, son, you’ll still be here.” Peg, ’28 1926 r our TKe Basketball Season WHEN the first call was made for basketball players about fifteen responded, of whom six were “G” men. After a couple of weeks practice the season really started by defeating Bismarck on their own floor. The team showed a good fighting spirit as well as a good amount of speed in this game and in a majority of other games of the season. Each game of the season seemed more exciting and thrilling than the preceding one. A good cheering crowd was always present when the games were played on the home floor. The team seemed to be going well, although they had lost a few of their games, when the semester examinations caused three of the best players to be dismissed from the team through failure to keep up their work. This was just before the county tournament and it left Coach Sweeley at his wits end to know what to do; but nevertheless, he soon developed a team that gave Rankin a close fight in the tournament. By the time the district tournament came, which was about a month later, the team had become a machine that was strong both on the offensive and defensive. By the experience the boys had gained throughout the season, along with the coaching, they looked strong in the tournament. They were able to defeat Fairmount but by a bad pass in the last minute of play against Oakwood they were defeated and thus the season ended. Although the team lost half or more of their games, they have gained a great deal of experience which can be used to build a strong team next year as none of the “G” men will be lost by graduation.

Wilson, gi ird Forwards Center Guards Substitutes Max Baldwin (Capt.) Harry DeBarba Roy Warner, forward IN the beginning of the season after we had elected Max Baldwin captain and Ray Davenport manager, we played our first game with the seniors, ending with a score of 19-7. Baldwin was the star of the game, scoring 11 points. The second game was with the freshmen and was very exciting, as the score was only 10-9. The midget forward “Mussolini” alias Santo Paradiso was a star for the freshmen causing us to lose several baskets. The third game was our first taste of defeat with a score of 12-1. The last game was a great victory for us since the score was 15-9. Davenport and Jaggers starred for the champion team. Our determination to win carried us through to victory and in return was rewarded with the silver cup which was won by the seniors last year. We wish to thank “Peg” Edmonds for his valuable training and Mr. Sweeley who showed us many important points on basketball. R. Jaggers, 28 M.

Each A class seemed almost as interested as the other and there was lots of competition; but the sophomores with a little bit the best team won. The next meet was an invitational meet held at Georgetown. Sidell, Westville and Ridgefarm were some of the schools that took part in this meet. Georgetown was able to win third in this meet and it also gave Coach Sweeley a chance to see what kind of material he had for the County Track meet which was to be held two weeks later. In the county meet which was held at Danville, Georgetown took third place. This was accomplished by the good work of McMillan, Hess, Loving, and Stark who went to the State track meet the following week, but were unable to win any points. Prospects for Georgetown are very good this year as Loving and Stark are back in school and there are several new fellows that are showing up well.

This perfection has three phases, moral, mental and physical. Physical training for girls aims toward that physical fitness just recently recognized as necessary for girls as well as boys. In the physical training classes the girls have exercises which tend to strengthen the muscles of the legs, the back, the abdomen, the arms, and to produce co-ordination of the various muscles. The different sports develop a spirit of team-work and good sportsmanship as well as giving part of the necessary exercise. In the fall the girls played baseball out of doors and later played indoor ball in the gymnasium. This was followed by basketball. The classes competed for championship and at the close of the tournament a “G” team was chosen consisting of the best girl at each position. The “Numeral” girls were those who ranked next to the “G” girls at their positions. These teams were chosen on a basis of sportsmanship shown on and off the floor, small number of fouls committed, and the team-work used. The girls will participate in an inter-class meet April 13. The following events are those in which the girls may enter: Broad jump, high jump, discus, baseball throw, fifty yard dash, seventy-five yard dash, sixty yard hurdles, one-fourth mile relay, one-half mile run, one-fourth mile run. The May Fete this year will be centered around the Mother Goose rhymes. Mother Goose will summon Old King Cole, Humpty Dumpty, Bo Peep, Little Miss Muffet, blackbirds and the maids, Mary Quite-Contrary and her garden of flowers, and others to entertain the May Queen.

Centers Gladys Goss Mary Niziolkiewicz Guards Ruby Cornelius Substitutes: Doris Claywell, Love McMillan, Rachel Davenport. ONCE again the .junior team has been able to class itself in the group of the undefeated. With the aid of Miss Parcel’s coaching, good sportsmanship, and everlasting pep they were able to win the cup which has now been in their possession for two successive years. It is the hope of the team that this cup will go to the senior class next year. Although there are good players scattered through all the other classes the majority of the best ones are on the junior team. This fact alone scares the opponent’s team so completely that when they get out on the floor they are so nervous that they cannot even hold on to the ball and appear as though they had never played the game before. Every clever move or pass that each individual champ makes dumb-founds the opponents so that they stand and gaze in utter amazement. They think it is no use to try, so instead, they stand around and finger their middies and run around to make believe that they are playing.

Look who’s here Hallowe’en Remember the good old days when we sold “soda pop’ Me and my ponies Ruth Iela Six little boys all in a row' 1926 Pa 'c Seventy-two SOCIAL EVENTS HALLOWE’EN PARTY—OCTOBER 31 Dear Ruth: I’m simply bubbling over! Think of it—bubbling over! I’ll tell you what it’s all about. I went to our school Hallowe’en party night before last and had loads and loads of fun. They sure had a good program—made me think I was at the Terrace. Believe me when it comes to vaudeville stunts our school sure has them all beat in talent. Some of the “kids” gave little one-act comedies and they were comedies, too! I laughed till I nearly split my sides when John Ramey operated. He is some doctor. And then they turned all the lights off and a ghost, named Clark, told the scariest story I ever listened to. It told of a man who was in a wreck and his brains were strewed all over the pavement. Well they surely went out and collected them for they passed them around and some one put one down my back. Right after that they took us down stairs and served. Oh Boy! those eats. They passed and repassed me the dainty Hallowe’en sandwiches fashioned like a pumpkin face. I couldn’t eat more than four though because all I could think of was that man’s brain that was down my clack. I soon forgot it though when we played some games. I sure had lots of fun. Now for the best part- guess, oh guess, who asked to take me home. Well I won’t tell, but his initials are M. M. I hope the H. S. has another party soon. L. G. V. S. THE CARNIVAL—NOVEMBER 14 The seniors staged a very successful carnival Saturday, November 14 Spig Jones said he’d had the shivers ever since for he visited the T5culty show. “Horrors upon horrors did you see my Mary—I mean Asthma— didn’t she, I mean he, look cute,” so says the fond Leo. “Oh—that’s nuthin,”—speaks up Virgil Strader—“you didn’t know I was a Jap did you”— “Why no. When?” At the carnival, a course. Didn’t I eat the most Japanish soup and tea that ever was eaten under the Japish umbrellas?” 1926 Page Seventy-three “Well”—drawls in H. Don—“I’ll never go to another carnival.” “Why not?” says the worshipping John. “Cause my kid’s about run me nutty with that confounded rattle box I bought her.” The above speeches and several similar took place a few days after the carnival. The seniors realized $100 clear on this carnival and want to extend their thanks to all who in any way participated and to the public who co-operated so nicely with their efforts. COMMERCIAL CLUB CHRISTMAS PARTY—DECEMBER 21 The regular meeting of the Commercial Club on the evening of December 21, was turned into a Christmas kid party. A large tree was prettily decorated with tinsel, icicles, snow and many pretty presents. There were presents, candy and oranges enough for all. A Christmas program consisting of readings and dialogues was a big feature of the evening. After the program and eats, every one journeyed to the gym and played kid games. The party broke up at a rather late hour for a bunch of kids but apparently the bad man didn’t get any of them on the way home as they all appeared with bright and shining faces at school the next morning. THE AG. CLUB PARTY—JANUARY 7 ACT I Occasion—The day before the Ag. Club party to which each boy must invite a girl. Setting—Assembly room, Georgetown High School. Time—8:30 a. m. Tuesday.

CURTAIN Maybelle Emory, ’26 -------- 1926 Page Seventy-six From the Classes THE STORM Wind blown green trees Moaning in the breeze Blue black swirling clouds Like deathly shrouds Deep awe inspiring thunder Stripping sky asunder With mighty fingers. The lightning’s jagged flash And then a crash Dark sky alight Revealing earthly fright Soft pitter-patter Of raindrops chatter The storm is here. Doris Claywell, ’27 BEAUTY She is a pretty thing; black as coal and as full of life as any puppy despite the fact that she is four years old. When she first came to our house at the age of three months she weighed less than three pounds and could be held in one hand. She has never grown old but seems as agile and full of life as when she first came to live with us. When we first saw her, she was too young to know that her name was Beauty but she has lived up to her name. Beauty is larger than the average breed of Pomeranians due to the fact that she has received excellent care and has had proper advantages. As a hunter she is useless because she is so fat and her legs are so short that she is soon out of wind and must give up the chase. In many different ways she resembles a cat more than she does a dog. She has long, fine hair and while she likes to play with cats, needless to say, they do not return her affection. If she is lucky enough to find a young chicken or bird she will spend hours playing with it and never offering to harm it. She knows immediately when food is being prepared for her and worries the family by constant barking until it is placed before her. She is invaluable as a watch dog because the slightest sound is enough to drive her into an incessant fit of barking, from which she can be stopped only by dire threats from various members of the household. She is suspicious of every stranger and avoids new acquaintances; but once she makes friends with you she is a real pal and always remembers you. She has a very limited stock of tricks which she uses in “showing-off” before strangers. The most important of these consist of walking 1926 Page Seventy-seven tUW4UWWVW4UWt on her hind legs. Another is shaking hands which she always does with her left foot, since she broke her right leg in an accident. She opens all the doors in the house but shows her ill manners by never offering to close them. It is hard to think that in a few years at the most she will die and be with us no more. Because the span of a dog’s life is very short, we should treat them the best we can while they are here to enjoy it. John Ramey, ’27 THEM GOOD OLD DAYS When we wuz kids, jist you an’ me, remember The larks a singin’ in the meadows, ’round, The leaves a turnin’ red in ole September, The schoolbell ringin’; how we ’spised the sound— But them wuz good ole days. We walked across the pasture to the schoolhouse, Jist you an’ me as han’ in han’ we went; Scired almos’ stiff about a little tit-mouse, We’d put in teacher’s desk to watch her sprint— But them wuz good ole days. But brother, them ole days are gone forever, You’ve left this world and gone to heaven to stay; We’ll play together here again no never, As we did do—you’ve gone the homeward way— Oh! for them good ole days. Kenneth Underwood, 28 THE JUNIOR YEAR When I was just thirteen I went into a golden land; Dear old G. H. S. Took me by the hand. % My freshmen years and sophomore too, They passed like fleeting dreams; And I became a junior In the sunlight gleams. I walked in a great golden dream To and fro from school— Thinking that G. H. S. The whole world did rule. The teachers, school, and pals seemed Thin, fading dreams by day; For dear old G. H. S. Had stolen my soul away. A. L„ ’27 1926 Page Seventy-eight THE FOOTBALL GAME A’ LA MALORY As the referee let blow the whistle that haut Knight Otis Edmonds let go the football with his noble right and was down the field and gat the man erst he was aware. The man having drapped the ball, Sir C. Lawlyes gat it erst he wist what had happened. Mauger of thier good defense, Sir C. Lawlyes ran to the goal. Soon the other side took welde of the ball but did get ne far with it for Sir Noble Madden layed low the men as fast as they did appear. The score that day was very high for our side and behest of more the next game. The other side was wood wroth with our good men and that day I saw more wonder done in football harness then syne the days of Sir Red Grange. Chester Loving, ’28 HAPPINESS The moon was sailing in the sky And cast its shadows on the world. The lovers from the village nigh Were walking down the lane so lone; They found a seat beneath the trees And sat there list’ning to the breeze. He murmured words she wished to hear, She gave to him her promise dear. In June the wedding bells did ring Then after this they went away As joyful as the birds in spring To come again some other day. They built their home near to the spot Where they had sat and talked of love, Which seemed to them a gracious lot, And lived there happy as two doves. Ten years of happiness are past. They have a boy and girl so dear No troubles on their brows are cast. Their home is blest with good and cheer They look back over all the years They send a prayer of thanks to God Who kept away all grief and tears While they the road of life had trod. Hazel Brown, ’28 THE RAINBOW Soft green of sea blown mists A rosy flush of sunset sky Purple from night’s falling robes A rainbow, born to die. Doris Claywell, ’27 1926 Page Seventy-nine SIR ROGER VISITS SCHOOL (No. 577—McGee Thursday, Feb. 25, 1926) (Magnum Opus—) The Spectator accompanied by Sir Roger De Coverly and Will Wimble visited school yesterday. I as a reporter for the paper that “Sees Nothing and Knows Less” will try to relate to you some of the queer happenings. Mr. Black, Superintendent of the Georgetown Schools, asked Sir Roger to talk before the assembly at the high school. His talk was very comical but behind it all he had a meaning for what he said. He spoke about athletics in high school, and although he knew very little about the subject, he told much on either side of the question; that is whether thev were detrimental or beneficial. Sir Roger was received well at school. In one of Miss Parcel’s cooking classes he was the fellow who, after all the girls tried to get to his heart through his stomach, found himself being treated by an osteopath for indigestion. In Mr. Sweeley’s history class he related to them a story of one of his ancestors whose name happened to be mentioned in a foot note. Will Wimble visited Miss Henderson’s room and after presenting her with a chain whittled out of a straight piece of wood won her heart and for weeks after that Miss Henderson received letters from Mr. Wimble telling how he had killed a Cinnamon bear, or done some other desperate deed. The Spectator had been visiting Miss Rees but left after a heated argument over whether Abe Lincoln strangled to death eating spaghetti or drowned eating soup. The party left after telling Mr. Black that his school was too much like a Ford—that is: a crank in front and a lot of nuts behind.

This new dance with its wiggling movements makes one look like a contortionist and will in time, prophets say, make the future generations a knock-kneed race. We wonder what it would be like if it were named after a town nearer the torrid zone. Our senior class was having a party in the home next door to where Mr. Black was staying. For hours the Charleston had progressed. The noise of dancing feet sounded out on the night air and woke the sleeping Prof. He remembered that the senior party was to be next door and arose to investigate. Suddenly a knock sounded at the door—Phil B. yelled, “Who is it?” “It’s me,” replied the Prof., whom Phil didn’t recognize. Phil said sarcastically, “Well, who’s me?” “Prof. Black,” replied the voice. “Aw, go take a flying kiss at the moon,” cried Phil. “Ward N. wouldn’t say me, he’d say I.” Soon we heard soft footsteps going down the walk. We have often wondered what would have happened if the Professor had not been so self-conscious and proud. UNUSUAL BUNK Farewell Marcel Cutie Miss Parcel Flashed a real spiffy marcel As she flivvered around one day. Wheel went a flat tire Oh! but she did perspire; And her wave just floated away.

Page Eiglity-eight 1926 Page 2 THE WURPLE AND PHITE May 12, 1926 Fight Between Tivo Prominent Men Mr. Harold (Mack) McGee, at the junior play practice, attempted to kiss the bride (off stage). Her stalwart body-guard clambered over six rows of seats and placed a well directed right against the unruffled brow of Mr. McGee. McGee feinted (fainted) to the right and fell over backwards. Chief of Police Clark, as representative of the law, rushed into the fray at that point and put an end to the fracas. The bride said it was all a mistake on her part. Dinner for Tivo Promnient Young Ladies. Mary Niziolkiewecz and Thelma Davis took Sunday dinner with Lida Gudauskas and Anna Dailida, last Sunday. Anna and Lida, who are members of Miss Parcel’s Foods I class, prepared the dinner for the party. Thelma and Mary were reported as resting easily last evening. Home Raided Last Night Federal agents raided Santo Paradise’s bachelor apartment on Rumme Rowe last Friday. They found one pint of red wine and a half-starved cat, in a brown jug, behind the bath room door. The stuff will be used as evidence later. Anesthetics Alice Lacy won the pole vault at the all county high school meet for girls, held recently behind closed doors. Miss Edna Rock also went high for honors. We predict a great future for these young ladies. Howard Thomas is training very strenuously under the direction of Miss Parcel. The senior class has but one candidate in the field for the track meet, but such a track star, Mable Galyen, the “dark horse” of the meet, is sure to bring honors to her class. She is very conscientious in her training and much hope is centered in her. Alumni News Ivan Burch, ’19, a former student of this high school has accepted the position of paper boy for Miss Smith (commercial teacher). He says his work is very interesting and he is kept busy waiting for a promotion. We knew he would make something out of himself. Georgia Henderson, ’ll, has taken a class in “Charlestoning,” in Olivet. She is making rapid progress, from the last report and has been offered the job of “Head Charlestoner,” at the “Sugar Bowl,” in Westville. With her grace and beauty, she could not help but succeed. Ruth Clark, ’ll, has “gone and done it.” She was married soon after school was out. The happy couple is now living in Stump-town, where her husband is Superintendent of the Sunday School. Dear Ruth is the most active member of the church. She is the usher. We wish them all the happiness in the world. ?;?!?!?!?!

VICTORIA SPICER 1926 Page Eighty-nine The Diary of Dumb Dora (Instead of the regulation calendar we are printing a record from the diary of a freshman girl at Georgetown High School for the year 1925-26. Under no condition shall we disclose the name of the writer or the method by which it came into our possession. Names have been omitted in certain places but otherwise the material is just as the girl wrote it.) SEPTEMBER 2 Signed a card today. I’m taking Latin as Ma says they ain’t no use paying out good money to learn to cook. Ain’t the senior boys handsome ! 4 I heard a senior say, “The teachers are having trouble with the skedule.” Wonder what in the deuce that is. Sure has got me goin’. 23 Orchestra practice begins. I sure do wish I could play somethin’ cause then maybe some senior would fall for me then. 24 I joined the Girls Club the other day, so today we had a steak fry south of town. Ma and Pa both thinks it’s ’orful’ silly to go a walkin’ about two miles to eat a piece of steak. Then Ma says it ain’t very clean. Operetta practice begins tonite. I ain’t in it though. 28 Mr. Black made a speech about readin’ the Bible. I simply couldn’t help but dream about one senior boy and so I didn’t hear much. OCTOBER 3 Monthly exams past and I didn’t flunk nothing this month. Got an average of 79. That’s purty good for a high school kid. 12 Junior pins and rings come. Sure are a peach when it comes to looks, at least the seniors think so. Purple and White comes out today. Heck, I’ve known them colors for about a month. 13 One senior boy sits in the same row that I do. Talk about good lookin, he knocks ’em cold. One hot mama was asked to spit her chewin’ gum out today. 14 I’ve found out that senior’s name now and he’s captain of the football team. 15 I hear he belongs to some high school club. I guess it’s got an awful name, I mean the club. I heard him talking and he said it was a Luny Rudy. I wish that it would be something about Valentino. 16 In English today we had to learn a pome, “Captain, My Captain.” I don’t know what it’s about but that line sure give me a thrill, I’m going to call him “My Captain” now. I thought I’d die today when a rat came in the assembly the second period. It seemed to sorta scare Miss McMahan. 17 They say my captain sent his love to one of the senior girls today. Gee, I wish I’d got that note, I bet it would never’ve reached that nut. 1926 Page Ninety Had a pep meeting today and don’t think my heart nearly busted with pride when they kept yelling. Just watch HIS smoke in the first game. 19 I was pledged to a Pie Dell Toes sorority at noon in the girls dressing room. Bet I get a lot of bids now. 21 My sweetie didn’t go to class today. Told me later that Mr. Birch played hookey. 23 Just went to school a half a day. Our team played Sidell. 26 Going to have one grand feed up here Hallowe’en night. My Captain bought a ticket so I’m going to. 28 I heard sweet strains of music coming through the windows today. Guess there was an extra feature at the show. 30 Some seniors had a new teacher today. I reckon it was the sophisticated Miss Parker. « NOVEMBER 2 My hero worked on the carnival stands today. Wouldn’t it be bliss if he’d take me. 3 You know that note I wrote about. He didn’t write that note after all. One of the girls wrote it. That senior girl is mad. Serves her right. 11 Mr. Black said you’d ought to take some one to the operetta tonight. Miss ???? blushed. Gee, ain’t that romantic! My Captain took one of the sophomore girls. 0, dairy must he go out of my life forever? 14 Went to the homecoming game today. I almost thought my heart would jump right out. 20 Well, if I had been Mr. Adams, I wouldn’t have laughed so much even if I had seen Mr. Almy up there dancing like some Indian with a feather duster in his paw. 24 So long, dearie, until after the holidays. 29 Here I am again back at the old grind. I sure do wish Mr. Sweeley would quit lookin’ so hard. There’s no sense in it. DECEMBER 1 I heard some talk about the girls’ basketball team. Heard the rules were going to be terrible. 4 All on account of a lot of chickens and a few other things we were dismissed early. God bless the fair! 11 Played basketball at Bismarck. I didn’t have no way to go as usual. 17 Us girls made a face of snow today and I just couldn’t help but see how much it looked like Mr. Black. He thought so too, I think. I forgot to say that last night I went to a party over to Catharine Myers. And say Min, if we didn’t pull taffy. Just ask Doc. Had a date with a freshman and went to the Ag. play. His name was H—. 1926 Page Ninety-one I sure felt like failin’ when I saw the romantic loving that Daphine done. 22 I’d sure like to be a kid again like all the rest of the gang did at the Commercial Club party, but I’m getting too old for that. 23 I bid farewell once more to dear old G. H. S. and just got two days to wait before hangin’ up my sock. 0 joy, H— asked me for a date during vacation. JANUARY 4 Miss “Static” comes on the scene today. Miss Smith had to borrow a hanky from Mr. Birch. She feels like a lost kitten without Bodelia. First game of the tournament tonight. Sophomores think they’re goin’ to win. 7 H— was down again last night. 18 I sure heard a good one today. One of those seniors answered Mr. Sweeley’s telephone call. She blushed like a rose when she came back to the room. 20 My body’s a trimble. Exams begin today. 23 I went to the girls club backward party but got so tangled up that I couldn’t tell whether the kids were goin’ or cornin’. Never was in such a predicament. 25 Got our cards today. I didn’t flunk nothing but Latin and algebra. Wouldn’t it be thrillin’ to take algebra of Mr. Birch. 29 Grade school operetta, last night, was swell. 30 Miss Smith went to Kankakee. FEBRUARY 1 Played the seniors tonight. I believe I’m the happiest gal in town instead of the lonesomest. Walked all over ’em tonight, even put ’em out. of the game. 4 County tournament today. 12 Miss Easly broke her ankle today. 14 0, didn’t H— send me a perfectly sweet valentine. I read some of the first part of this diary today. Wasn’t I a nut to be so crazy about that senior. 16 Mr. Cornelius is teaching us science now. Don’t think I didn’t see a pippin of a game tonight. Rankin and G’town tied, so they played another ten minutes. Just gave us time enough to get beat. 17 Seniors got their rings and pins today. 22 Just now heard that the junior champs threw a party at Love’s. 26 Miss Smith went to Kankakee. MARCH 1 Miss Easly came back to school. It must be awful to walk on crutches but gee, wouldn’t I like to have that diamond. 13 Those seniors are sure always busy. They’re always selling somethin’. Now it’s tickets for an Earlham Glee Club entertainment. 1926 Pope Ninety-two 14 Gee, it’s almost getting spring now and everybody feels so grand. 15 Boys are out for track. Girls going to be soon. 16 I guess maybe I’m getting dumber instead of otherwise as I grow older. 17 Sale of annuals is being urged daily, also sale of Earlham Glee Club tickets. 18 Why is there so much to do? I sing Tuesdays and Thursdays and eat the rest of the time. 18 Miss Smith had company from Kankakee. 19 There’s a rumor that a certain one of my classmates is so rushed with heavy dates that her father has taken a hand. 20 I went to the Earlham College Glee Club entertainment and thought it was grand. 22 Latin Club had a party. 25 Caught a word about a party for the basketball fellows. 29 Girls’ Glee Club selected. Practice song for the contest. 30 Everyone began to work on declamations like mad fire. 31 Calf club attracts some attention. Mr. Black gave the winning teams their cups. We listened to about seven speeches and I could have listened to more but no, they wouldn’t allow us to miss reciting! APRIL 1 Mr. Sweeley hurriedly answered a telephone call today and I’m sure puzzled about the information he must have received and how Iela Emory and Elizabeth Baum could have been mixed up in it. 2 Beautiful April showers!! Miss Smith went to Kankakee. This may become chronic. 7 Mr. Black told us today that Helen Youmans would speak her oration at the county contest. It was sure an honor to have your name mentioned in the assembly. He also introduced to us Mr. Clark Emory, Mr. John Ramey, Mr. Norwood Brookshier, Mr. Harold McGee, who all made wonderful addresses. 8 The seniors plan to have their half day holiday tomorrow for selling the most annuals. Don’t I envy them. 9 Class Track Meet. The annual went to press today, some of the seniors sure heaved a sigh. 10 Declamatory contest tonight. Glee Club is going to sing. 16 District contest at Ridgefarm. 30 County contest. MAY 1 County Meet. 19 May Fete. 21 Senior Class Play. 23 Cantata given under the direction of Miss Statton. 25 Junior and Senior banquet. 30 Baccalaureate. JUNE 1 Commencement.
