The original plot of the town was laid out by James Haworth, in March, and acknowledged before Esquire Asa Elliott, June 5, 1827. It contained four blocks of eight lots each and the only two streets were State Street, running north and south, and West Street crossing it at right angles. The streets were sixty feet wide with the public square at their center as it is at the present time. There is some question as to the naming of the town. Some assert that Mr. Haworth named it for his son George, who was a crippleg others say that since Danville had been named for Dan Beckwith, Mr. Haworth decided to divide the sympathies of the Beckwith family by naming his town in honor of George Beckwith. Probably both considerations had something to do with fixing the name of the town. Mr. Haworth is said to have measured off the town with a grape vine cut a rod long because he was afraid that if he called in a surveyor Mr. Nelson R. Moore would hear of it and plot a town first. The vine must have stretched sometimes as some lots are longer than others. The first building in Georgetown was a doctor's office, the next a blacksmith shop and the next a store, merely an inclosure made of poles, which stood on the square where Dukes' cafe is now located. This store was built by Samuel Brazelton and here a little stock of goods was kept for sale. The first log cabin, put -up where the post office now stands, was built in 1827, and was raised by the help of all the men for miles around. Nelson R. Moore, who was one of the oldest settlers, moved to George- town from North Carolina in 1825. He moved here with an ox team, coming in an old fashioned prairie schooner and made his first cabin just southwest of Georgetownwhere his descendents still live. Mr. Moore did a great deal towards settling this part of the country. Benjamin Canaday and Abraham Frazier were among the first to engage in the mercantile business in Georgetown. Mr. Canaday continued for many years to be the leading merchant of Georgetown and built a two- story brick block on the southeast corner of the square. This building had in it a very famous counting room and it was here that Mr. Canaday is said to have entertained Abraham Lincoln who passed through George- town on his circuit riding. Abner Frazier, the brother of Abraham Frazier, came here from Tennessee in 1828 and for a while clerked in his brother's store. His two sons carried on the business and the Frazier store is still doing business under J. A. Frazier, great-grandson of Abner Frazier. This is without doubt the oldest business in Geogetown. Elam Henderson was another man prominent among the early set- tlers. Uncle Elam and Uncle Benjy Canaday were both good Quakers and gave freely toward the erection of a Friends' church but one of them wanted a belfry and one didn't. At last a compromise was made and a belfry was built apart from the church. This tower was a landmark for many years and was.only torn down when the Friends' church was re- modeled a few years ago. rf .... , - -s-A, 'ZA M-N . 1 , 'R 2 Pg F fi l lii six, - . -.Hi ll H l1m,,,,,,, ,, N ,Q-nrrn llli gilll ll .l liimllllilll i Y 8 G - .

The polls were located in an old building which stood north of Frazier's store, and which afterwards was converted into a Methodist church. Voters were required to give in their votes out loud. The post office was established in Georgetown about 1828. The mail route ran from here to Paris and the mail was carried by men riding on horseback. Benjamin Canaday was, for a long time, postmaster. Among the men whose lives were a part of the early history and business success of Georgetown were Patrick Cowan, J. H. Goddard, G. W. Hallowayg John Sloan, the first blacksmithg Mr. Brazelton, the first tavern keeperg Thomas Heywood, one of the earliest doctorsg and his successor, Dr. Richard Holmes. Early in the history of George- town her first hard , road was built, a . plank road which . ran from George- 4 town to Perrysville. 5 This was a toll road 2 made from planks z about sixteen feet long which were laid crossways mak- B ing what is called a 1 corduroy road. It ! was the main route over which grain was carried to the Wabash river for shipping. For pas- senger service there was, in early times, a stage coach line which ran along the Bum in ,348 state road from Danville to Paris. Georgetown was a station where teams were changed. There was also at one time a bus line which ran along the route of the present railway. It was over this that troops were hauled to Danville at the time of the Civil war. The railroad, which was first called the P. 8z D., was built about 1871 and ran from Paris to Danville. The first trains were accommodation trains carrying both passengers and freight and ran at no great speed but they caused much excitement among the residents and the whole town turned out regularly to see them go through. During the time of the Civil war three full companies were enlisted from Georgetown, Co. A of the 26th regiment, Co. C of the 73rd and Co. D of the 125th. Before the war began there was much sympathy here with the slaves and a station on the underground railway was maintained on the farm of the grandfather of Mr. Alfred Lewis. This station was located about three miles east of town, just west of Jonathan Ramey's farm. THE OLD SEMINARY Page Six f l fx' ttirelrarl lo A, g ll i tll X35 l' v- ---L9 Ciiwagtzlief 27--to-A----P --H -A GEORGETOWNS SCHOOLS IN 1827 with the beginning of the town of Georgetown, the first school house was built in the public square. This was necessarily a very simple structure, a one room log building in which a subscription school was taught by H. Givens, who was later succeeded by Owen West. This school went out of existence withthe founding of the George- town seminary in 1844 by the Methodist Conference. The seminary under the management of Prof. Jessie H. Moore gained such a good reputation that it became the center of education for the surrounding country. The school was conducted in an old frame building until 1848 when a new, two- story brick building was completed. Prof. Moore SEMINARY was later succeeded by John P. Johnson and the district school became a part of the seminary. SCHOOL While the seminary ASHINGTON was growing and prosper- ing so many young men and women attended that it was hard for them to find board and lodging and many were compelled to stay in farmhouses a long way from town. Every SCHOOL year, in the spring, an ex- hibition of two or three days duration, consisting of essays, declamations, and orations was put on the boards is literally correct because no building in Georgetown was big enough to accommodate the crowds which attend- ed and a platform of boards was built at one end of the seminary building. FRAZIER In 1861 the seminary was disbanded and a publis school was estab- lished in the seminary building. Later a new public school building, which is now called the Washington School, was erected on what was then known as the old lot. New courses were soon added and in 1886 diplomas were presented to the first class graduating from Georgetown High School. A second school building was erected, in 1904, on the old seminary IDX-B T -Q' R TFT :AX S7 I 'E P s g H-ENN iadifagi, .

The high school and eighth grade moved into this Seminary building and the faculty was increased to nine members. Mr. O. P. Rees took charge of the high school at this time and con- tinued as principal for sixteen years, during which time he did much toward raising the school to its present high standard. At the beginning of his principalship the high school course was outlined to meet the en- trance requirements of the University of Illinois. In 1912 when the new township high school was organized he was retained as principal and he saw the school make a steady growth under his leadership. By the removal of the high school work, the crowded conditions in the grades were relieved for a time but increased enrollment has since then made it necessary to build first an addition to the Seminary building and finally a new building called the Frazier school. In 1921 Mr. Ward N. Black was elected principal of the high school and in 1924 he was put at the head of all the s-chools of the city. Since he became principal the high school has more than doubled in enrollment and the grade schools have continued in their growth. For the year 1927 the enrollment was 225 for the high school and 923 for the grade schools. The high school had a faculty of twelve teachers and the grades had three prin- cipals and thirty-one other teachers. Georgetown has a school system of THE EAST which she is justly proudg the Work done is of high grade and the spirit in town and school is good.

HENRY President Secretary W. A. MeMAHON J. H. MYERS D. H. BOWEN The Board of Education ALBERT is a mere infant on this board as he was only elected last year. He is an alumnus of Georgetown, of the class of 1915, and a promin- ent farmer of the community. JIM has been a member of the high school board ever since there was one and has been president since 1921. He is deeply interested in the affairs of the school and always has our best interests at heart. AL, a member of the class of 1911, is secretary of the board and assistant cashier of the First National Bank. He's the most popular member of the board as far as the teachers are concerned because he's the man who makes out the checks. HURLEY is one of the best looking members of the board. He is head of the Henry Hardware Co. and one of the prominent business men of Georgetown. BILL is another old timer having grown up with the history of the high school. If you doubt the safety of your job, you might let him sell you some insurance. DOC, Georgetown's dentist, has been on the board three years. Sometimes it is important to have a pull with him. DAVE also has seen long service on the board. He has always been in- terested in us even if he did go off to Florida this year.

Freshman Year is the most Qi important of all the years in high l E :i l school. It is the time when the eip foundation of a school career is l l laid and the succeeding years merely serve to build on this foundation. The habits that one forms in the early years of his life stay with him to a great ex- tent afterwards. This fact is also true of the first years of high school because one is enter- ing upon a new phase of life-the road that leads to a higher education. During this year, then, one should be care- ful to put forth his Very best efforts so that he may establish a foundation of knowledge and habits upon which his later years may be built.

Although his ideas of the future are not finished and polished as they will be later, still they are being formed and are gradually taking shape. The sophomore year should be easier than the first because by this time one should to some extent be able to think for himself and reason things out logically. As a Whole the sophomore year serves to broaden the student and make him realize the importance of school life in relation to later life.

The W 9 student has by this time become pgw l more experienced and is more , able than before to accomplish things. During this year one enters into more school activities and more of his time is taken up by outside Work such as the class play and school paper. This applies to all the classes in school-an advancement in school means an advancement in responsibility and efficiency. The junior year is a dangerous year, too, because With these increased outside interests one is tempted to neglect his real school Work. A balance must be struck and a careful divi- sion of time made so that all the calls upon one's time may be met.

By twenty-eight, we shall have learned Success comes only when it's earned. Our own good deeds, we all may say, Are always done in the honest way. Just one more year 'til we'll be gone Into this world, our cares to don. , We'll surprise you all, our deeds you'll see In every corner where fame could be. We have some dreams that we'll make real To show the world, and then we'll feel Our strifes and trials were not in vain Because we'll all win honor and fame. - LOUISE WILLIAMS.

These achievements are possible because the senior has learned to take advantage of spare time and can ac- complish more because he has gained experi- ence through his school life and knows how to do a thing. The senior year is also one of leadership- the lower classmen look to the senior to set the example and lead the Way. In this year, too, the ideas and ideals which have been fostered during the early years of high school should became definite. One should have an exact idea of what he Will do when he is through school and should be Working toward that end. x XV' Sgr I Yi P T ,-ning Q A I YI 7 lllmll n n . 5 nmIl'TTTllTTl I li lllllllllllmf - ws' ' fe ' ' - . 3 'wa L9 Ciiwagfxija zffff R fe R ' -o Who's Who in the Senior Class R HONOR ROLL Frances Houghton Anna Dailida Verdie Galbreath John Ramey Gladys Goss Rex Cahoon .

HERE is a standard, set by.. the-.ancient Greeks which is worthy of being the goal of every school in the United States. Let us not overlook the importance of either of the aims, the sound mind, the sound body, nor the fact that the two are in practically all cases com- plementary. If the aims are worthy, it is the problem and duty of the school to attempt at least their approxi- mation. It is a common conception that school is a place to improve the mind. This is only half of the story. It must become also a place for the development of the body. We campaign against illiteracy, let us campaign cmh of .m-mac. against physical incapacity. Let the community recog- nize its responsibility to the child in a physical sense as well as a natural sense. We compel children to learn to readg let us compel them to learn to breathe. This training of the body is essentially a task for the school and it should begin in the lowest grades and continue as an integral part of the work until completion of school by the individual. H. DON SWEELEY I make no special plea for athletics. They are the outgrowth of an instinctive competitive spirit and solong as that spirit continues to exist, competitive sports will get their full share of attention. My plea is for a plan that will create a nation of athletes, not a few athletes in the nation. Let us take the children as they first enter school, study the individual child, gain an accurate knowledge of his physical defects and eliminate them through systematic training. Not all minds respond to training but all bodies will. Will the expenditure of time and money that is required be justified? We answer this question by asking another. Would you like to see a citizenry full of the vigor and vitality that comes only with a sound body? How about your children? Are they learning to read and developing ingrown toe nails at the same time? Remember that while Latin is im- portant so are lungs. Let's go back to fundamentals and train the body so the mind may have a home. H.

Mahoney Fourth Row- T010 Row- Grubb Coach Sweeley D. Mahoney Ward N. Black, Prin. Williams Trainer Madden Neubert The Spirit of 1926 HE success of any football team depends first of all upon the spirit displayed by the squad. The never say die spirit helps more toward winning games than any other single factor. The spirit displayed by the squad during the fall of 1926 was the big reason for such a successful season. In addition to spirit a successful team must have a knowledge of foot- ball coupled With the determination to play the game. Coach Sweeley must be given the credit for the calibre of football played by the squad and for the success of the team as a whole. One of Coach Sweeley's favorite phrases and the one which has had the greatest influence over the team is eleven men lighting every minute with the determination to win cannot be beaten.

Probably no one has enjoyed the team's achievements more than Coach Sweeley, who has undoubtedly entertained visions of such a team for the past two years. The spirit of the team was always a distinct advantage upon entering a game, and a prime factor in determining the final score. Every member of the squad should be awarded his portion of the spoils not in terms of dollars and cents but in the school's appreciation of work well done. V. STARK Captain Besides his duties as a captain and end, he also called the signals. All of these duties were well executed. A conscientious capable caller of plays. Great credit for the fine spirit of the '26 team and its consequent success goes to this player. May his tribe increase. H. DON SWEELEY Coach, In addition to teaching football a coach must keep up the spirit of his team. Coach Sweeley is always able to inspire his players with that ounce of determination which it takes to put it over. mr ' -- --' N 'N' F X' P g F ty-three I I fl A 7 ' X Ili-NN QX, :JI 'Ll I l ' llllllllulmm. 1-'mllfflifnalllll llllll : 4 L-Killa? .i -,wg 6 it .

He should develop into a first-class player, providing he keeps up his studies. EDMONDS, Backfield One of the outstanding punters in the state. A fair passer and defensive man. A fine blocker but a poor plunger. One of the mainsprings in the backfield for two years. His last year should be his best. SAWICKI, End One of those good things which rarely hap- pen, a natural athlete. Made the team in his freshman year and should become one of the outstanding performers of the school. DEBARBA, Tackle and Guard These boys in the line don't get much pub- licity but thev are the backbone of a foot- ball team. Harry is especially useful in gathering in the ball when somebody lets it get loose. He plays consistent football consistently well. MAHONEY, Back A fast, hard running, elusive backg al- ways in condition. CHANTOS, Guard This boy worked hard for a job on the team and Hnallv got it. Seems to have a hard time reducing. We recommend a good, hard, hot job for the summer. SPICER, Center Another case of staying with it. A sub for three years, a regular as a senior. If you stay out three years the coach is bound to see you. An accurate passer and a hard worker at all times. STEPHENSON, Back A senior and lost to next year's team. A very fine defensive back, despite his lack of weight. A fine blocker of offense, a hard fighter at all times. Another good little man.

G MEN H ELLIOTT, Guard A 200-pound freshman inclined to be lazy but should become a first-class lineman. We recommend a job on the section. GERARD, Back A freshman who became a very creditable back, and should have a great future if he sincerely tries. CHANDLER, Back Captain for 1927. A very capable per- former both on offense and defense. He starts fast and runs hard. LAWLYES, Back This one has played his last year and the school loses one of the greatest little men in its athletic history. He missed but two nights of practice in four years, a tribute in itself. He carried the ball most of the time and was a consistent ground gainer. A fine open field runner, good on defensive, a genuine football player. GALYEN, Tackle and Guard A hard conscientious worker at all times. A boy who has wanted to learn and has learned. Two more years of football. They should be his best. Watch him. SAVAGE, Tackle This one' has played his last year and Georgetown loses a hard fighting, shifty and aggressive tackle. Inclined to miss practice but always furnishes a good alibi. RAMEY, End His motto: The bigger they are the harder they fall. Perseverance earned a letter for this young man. He stayed with it three years and got so good that he had to be given a letter. MOREMAN, Tackle A big, fast, but inexperienced tackle. His first year of football. He learns fast, works hard, and does his best all the time. inug., 'Qxvff'-E' Xl ' fi S Page Forty tive I A -QT 30, Y ' L J A ...mu ix nlmnull nu-..- I, llll ' f ' Q- - 92.1 F. ,.. 4 vi if L.

The visitors enjoyed every break of the game for the first half but failed to score. In the third quarter after working the ball from the thirty-five yard line to the ten yard line, Stephenson, local halfback, booted the oval through the crossbars for the first counter of the game. Again in the last period a fluke pass gave Georgetown a touchdown which was closely followed by a safety making a total of eleven points. DANVILLE 0, GEORGETOWN 0 And again history repeats itself! Oui, and again Georgetown's fight- ing eleven won a moral victory by playing the highly touted Danville Maroons to a standstill on a very muddy field. The sensational open field running of Lawlyes and decisive tackling of Sawicki featured for Georgetown While Hoskins, fleet Maroon back, inevitably added color to the contest by his sensational performance. The field was one of the Worst ever seen but the brand of football displayed was very good in spite of the mud. Old fans feel that a scoreless tie with Danville is getting to be a habit as the last game between these two contenders ended with that score. VILLA GROVE 0, GEORGETOWN 10 Another scalp hung at the belt of the Purple gridders when the team took Villa Grove into camp by the tune of 10-0. A place kick from the thirty yard line, hoisted by the educated toe of Edmonds, put Georgetown in the lead in the second quarter. Both teams played on even terms throughout the third quarter. In the final attempt of the visitors to score, Captain Stark, end, intercepted a pass and ran to within striking distance of the goal before he was downed. On the next play, a pass from Edmonds to Stark netted an extra six points. Shortly afterwards Mr. Poisall sounded the gong and our heroes retired to the showers as an end of a perfect day. OAKLAND 0, GEORGETOWN 10 The Sweeley combination won another game by winning from the highly praised Oakland football team. Georgetown got away to an early lead by scoring a touchdown in the first five minutes of play. Lawlyes, probably the smallest and fleetest back in this section, was the bearer of the pigskin when it crossed the goal. He ran from his own ten yard line for a distance of ninety yards, out-running the best that Oakland had. Instead of disturbing the opponents as might have been expected, this run injected a fighting enthusiasm into them that made it impossible x-5, Rx K Page Forty-six Nl ! fd A U 17 4 I E Ll HLXX -'SYEA SW - E .- -' 7 ,, E - f L 5 . .-mann I, n,,,,,,,,,, ,, , .nmwnmmfw ll i ll ,Urg- if 9 wg , 'I ' 1351 , 11, 41 - , .. ,J A -ee-is 651.11 argtzlga zfrf P for the locals to repeat the performance of the first quarter. A field goal was added, however, making a total of ten points. Coach Sweeley expected a hard battle and was not disappointed but his team proved to be the superior crew. PARIS 0, GEORGETOWN 34 Coach Sweeley's fighting proteges were rounding into mid-season form as they trounced the Paris club by a decisive score. The Purple backs each made one or more touchdowns before the final whistle. Ma- honey ran seventy-eight yards for a touchdown for the feature event. This was the first game of the season in which Georgetown continued play- ing on the offense throughout the game. Although Coach Sweeley and Mr. Black warned the team against over-confidence and expected a stiff battle, the Southerners proved to be a set-up for Capt. Stark and his ten disciples. SIDELL 0, GEORGETOWN 3 As a result of over-confidence which had been slowly accumulating for several weeks, Sidell slipped up on the Sweeley crew and all but won a tough battle. Only after the visitors had outplayed them for three periods did the Purple eleven reawake and hit their early season stride for a few minutes. During these last minutes Edmonds succeeded in kicking a field goal which enabled Georgetown to win. HOOPESTON 7, GEORGETOWN 0 On Armistice day, twenty-two of the best football players in the county met in a cow pasture near Hoopeston, for the purpose of establish- ing the identity of the 1926 county champions. 'The result was a 7-0 victory for the Braselites when they made a touchdown In the last minute of p ay. Georgetown out-fought them in the first half and only by a streak of ill luck was robbed of a touchdown in the first period. The corn-can- ners were pushed back to their own goal and gained possession of the ball only when Georgetown dropped a pass across the chalk mark. In the last period a series of Hoopeston's notorious passes netted the team a touchdown which was sufficient evidence of its supremacy. WATSEKA 0, GEORGETOWN 21 Watseka proved to be almost a set-up for Sweeley's fighting Purple eleven and lost a slow lopsided contest 21-0. On Sweeley's famous hidden ball play, Lawlyes, local back, ran sixty yards for a touchdown in the first three minutes of play. Two other touchdowns followed in the second and third periods. Sawicki, taking advantage of a fumble, scooped up the ball and raced thirty yards for a second touchdown. Windy Chandler sneaked over on a line drive for the other. Watseka was out-classed from the first down and did not once threaten the Purple goal although her players completed the majority of their attempted passes. Out of three passes Georgetown completed two but most of the gains were on trick plays and straight football.

SULLIVAN 0, GEORGETOWN 26 Coach SWeeley's crack Purple eleven had little difficulty in romping over Sullivan 26-0 in their Turkey day combat which was the last of a long string of victories. for the year. ,p The Thanksgiving game was the last appearance in high school foot- ? ball for six members of the squad, Stephenson, Stark, Savage, Lawlyes, Spicer, and Ramey. All these were valuable players and their places N on the team will be difficult to fill next year. A, E, V' Doc Madden must not be forgotten as a faithful follower of the if team, ready to assist any unfortunate player who had been chilled in the battle. Followers of the team were certainly pleased during the 1926 season at the performance of the squad which tasted defeat only once at the hands of Hoopeston and that by a very close margin. 5 W.

Don Sweeley's 1927 basketball squad reported for practice just two weeks before an important engage- ment with the Danville Maroons. Five of these, Gerard, Mahoney, Edmonds, McGee, and Ramey, were letter men from the preceding season, while the appearance of Morgan, a newcomer, and Sawicki, a freshman, greatly strengthened the squad. With this wealth of material, the former Penn. star developed a formidable squad that made any team in the county fight for every point it scored. The Georgetown team won its first game in the county tournament from Bismarck but was eliminated in the second round by Westville. In the invitational tournament at Sidell, Georgetown won a third place trophy after winning from Allerton and Catlin and losing to West- ville. In the district tournament Georgetown won a hard fought game from Oakwood but lost the next game to Danville by a close score. Georgetown closed a very successful season with a final record of twelve victories and ten defeats. It was the first time in years that a Georgetown basketball team had finished a season by winning more than half the games. Ramey and McGee are lost by graduation and their absence will be noticed by the many local fans who are becoming more enthusiastic every year and who are of much assistance to the netters by their loyal boosting. JOHN RAMEY Captain of Basketball Team A good leader and a good shot. Chosen on the all star team at the Sidell tournament. 5 f'Tm' F CTV-vi is Z x Page orty-nine Q I 1 X7 IIN 71 7 .

I The juniors' first game with the freshmen ended with a score of 28-11, in the second with the sophomores, the score was 28-12. The third' and most dreaded game was with the seniors. The juniors came out on the short end of a score of 21-16, making three teams in a tie for first place. To play off the tie the juniors played the sophomores and defeated them for the second time in the season with a score of 15-11. The game which decided who should be the winner of the trophy was fast and easy for the juniors. They allowed the seniors to get 6 points while Baldwin and Davenport stood with 13 and 8 points respectively. The members of the team wish to thank Coach Peg Edmonds and Mr. Sweeley for the splendid training which they gave them and the in- terest which they showed in their success.

These sports are, however, of. great interest to the student body and of much importance. The track and field work is the most important of spring athletics but tennis also attracted much interest in Georgetown in 1926 and probably will in 1927. CECIL LAWLYES Captain of the 1927 Track Team. A good fast runner and an excellent captain. HAROLD McGEE Winner of the 1928 Tennis Tennis during the spring of 1926 proved very popular among both boys and girls. Mr. Burch most successfully sponsored the tennis club and substantial new back stops were put up around the courts as a result of the interest shown. A boys' tournament was staged in which Mack McGee won out by defeating Buster Wilson 6-0, 6-1, 6-0. The other run- ners-up were Paul Mills and Leo Gerard. Another such 'tournament will probably be held this year. r X Page Fifty-three I 1 fl A V 1 I 5 il E IE xx X Vai? gg. , ' , J -5 - -H-' EQ' -. -il l I p ngm , ,, ,,MmA p,mymT1i Hu llfll ll ' g fi UF -- QE Tennis Tournament. 1 W N g A , , , ups TW,n L9 Czwagtzljn - -9 9 - Track EORGETOWN opened the 1926 track season with an inter-class meet which was won by the sophomores. An inter-class meet was again held in '27 and a beautiful trophy was given to the winner, the senior class, which was determined by adding the points made by both the girls and boys. ' ' At an invitational meet held at Westville in 1926, Georgetown won third from a field which included Westville, Chrisman, East Lynn and Catlin. Georgetown won second in the Vermilion County Meet held at George- town in 1926, placing next to Westville. Those scoring points for George- town and thereby earning their letters were: Stark, Edmonds, Rainey, Loving, Cahoon, Mahoney, Gerard, Lawlyes, and LeCount. Because the Vermilion County Meet in 1926 was managed so well and proved to be such a success the event was again awarded to Georgetown in 1927 with Mr. Black as manager. As a new feature in 1927 a shield was given for first place and a cup for second place in the meet. With a veteran team back from last year Georgetown showed up well and proved that she was among the best in the county.

Some of the players from 1894 to 1899 were: D. A. Bowen, Frazier Newlin, Nate Davis, O. P. Rees, Pete Canaday, Willie Mingee, Frazier Parks, John Sherer, Wm. P. Holaday, and Larkin Tuggle. In the fall of 1900, under Prof. G. W. Sutbon's administration the boys of the high school organized the first Rugby football team. Oscar Henderson was chosen captain of this team and Horace Cook, manager. Few games were played this year, but the players obtained a crude knowl- edge of the game by long hours of practice at night in what was known as the Richie Hall. In one of these early games against Indianola, the Hon. W. P. Hola- day made so many runs that some of the spectators of the town became very indignant. Baz Dixon of Indianola, a spectator, holding a stick of stove wood in his hand, said to the captain of the Indianola team, Let that Holaday man come around this way again and I'll fix him. In 1902 and 1903, the school began to have teams which played real football. The members of these teams were Wm. T. Henderson, captain: James K. Richie, manager, Wilbur Henderson, Herbert Cook, George Snapp, Ralph Thompson, Guy Langford Cdeceasedj, John Jones, Don Sutton, Ralph Hubbard, Everett Cook, Robert Campbell, Wilson Richie, Hadyn Adams, and Jesse Thornton. Several of this team later played on University teams. These men played one game against Fairmount which they will never forget. Time and again James K. Richie and Wm. T. Henderson made long gains by a criss-cross play. The referee, Prof. O. P. Haworth of Fairmount, who later became County Superintendent of Schools, said, These criss-cross plays show deception and cannot be permitted. In 1904 under Prof. Wm. Taylor, the first Vermilion County Football Association was formed. When, in the year 1911, the team decided it was necessary to have a coach, Wilson L. Richie was chosen and continued to train them for six years. During this time the team of 1915 was awarded the Central Illi- nois High School football championship, according to the University of Illinois authorities. Every team played against went down to a scoreless defeat, except Englewood, Chicago, who that year, became the National High School Champions. Our team also Won the Wabash Valley Cham- pionship and was presented with a silver cup. The members of this team were Wm. Steadman, captain, Earl Richards, manager, Russell Clipson, Charles Zimmer fdeceasedb, Fay Sconce, Raymond Canaday, Harlan Reid, George Haworth, Charles Smith, Tony Gandy fdeceasedl, Harry Smith, gorest Sheets, Wm. Frazier, Dwight Haworth, Ivan Sherer, and William ope. I A geat deal more could be said about players and coaches but space will not permit. E. L. Minis acted as coach in 1917 and 19183 Claude H. Bowen from 1919 until 1923, and H. D. Sweeley since 1924. WILSON L. RICHIE. fa?

GIRLS' physical training was first introduced into the Georgetown Township High School by Miss Rowena Johnson in 1915. The aims sought in this phase of school work are hygenic, educational, and recreational. In the first division the mechanical exercises stimulate circulation, strengthen weak muscles, promote normal activities of the digestive tract and right response of the nervous system, stimulate the entire body for better health, vitality and vigor, the second promotes at- tention, will, and self-discipline which results in better posture, economy and ease of movementg the recreational gymnastics include games, prin- cipally basketball, which result in skill as well as true sportsmanship. The types of exercises were: marching and similar work, free stand- ing exercises, class running, and running games, basketball, and other ball games. May Day celebrations were introduced in Georgetown in the form of a May Fete by Miss Zola Clark in 1922. Such programs have been given every year since that time. The May Fete in 1927 will be the portrayal of In the Land of Nod. A small, sleepy child is hurried off to her crib with the assistance of the Sandman. After she falls asleep, the spirit of childhood, eternal youth, Peter Pan, awakens her and leads her wonderingly to the Land of the Fairies in the wonderful Land of Nod. Here at the foot of the May Queen's throne, the child is entertained by the arrival of the May Queen and her court. The crowning of the May Queen, the dancing of the fairies, elves, sprites takes place and then the Spirit of Spring calls forth the early flowers of the Earth, tulips, hyacinths, violets, crocuses, and garlands of others. Then the curious Earth Children pay homage to the May Queen and have their celebration in the form of the May-pole Dance. When all of these have left the Realm of Fairyland the little child awakens to find herself in her own little bed. CAROL BRADLEY, Coach of Girls' Physical Training. ' T 'N' . N731 A SQ?

Not only were they successful in winning all of the tournament games, but they have a perfect right to the title of The Never Beaten Tigerettesw as they have not yet been defeated in either curtain-raiser games, scrub games, or any other games. The splendid Work accomplished by this team was only possible through continued effort and practice on the part of each individual, and by a strict adherence to the motto, Fight Until You Win. Three years ago this team set out to Win. They decided they would win and that they Would not stop until the cup was in their possession. This same spirit has been kept up during the three years and although there was strong competition, yet the desire for winning was stronger than this and conquered everything it was put up against.

It is unusual for a school that has no regular music department to par- ticipate in these things but all this trouble in practicing outside of school hours has not been in vain. The efforts put forth by the Girls' Glee Club were rewarded by re- , ceiving first place in the county contest in 1924, second in 1916 and 1917, and third in 1923. MISS SUTTON Since Miss Statton has been directing the club be- Director of M-sie side training them for the contest, she has als.o produced two cantatasg one, Pan on a Summer Day, given last springg the other, Bethlehem, presented on the Sunday before Christmas last year. FOR many years, Georgetown High School has shown Many attempts have been made at various times to organize a boys' glee club. Until this year there have been few signs of success but now- the boys have much to which to look forward. Due to the fact that few of the students play any sort of an instrument, it has been hard to create an interest in an orchestra in Georgetown. Al- though she had only a small group of people to work with, Miss McMahon had a fairly good orchestra. Miss Statton has done very well to accom- plish what she has, for until there is a better instrumentation, the orches- tra can be only partially successful. The first operetta ever given by G. H. S. was Windmills of Holland, under the supervision of W. J. Stronks. This was so successful that he followed it by others and finally gave the same one again. This sort of thing was dropped for a time until Miss McMahon gave the The Torea- dors. The following year she gave Princess Chrysanthemum. Miss Statton stepped into Miss McMahon's place and has given what seems to us to be the biggest and best of them all, In the Garden of the Shah. -...,C,,..,, S NT: A S , R ll-NX six? 5 vi P ne I ' g .ue-mf ' f fmrfsff ll L ill e 1151 a i SJ I. 9 F 'LU E165 'tlili if 27 C' 'Ai C if A i In the Garden of the Shah Presented by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs .

In This Persian Land of Flowers blossomed Zohdah, the Persian Rosebud, but Nowobeh told of seeing in the stars above, in the crystal sphere a stranger and since Fate will find you, two handsome Americans appeared to fulfill the prophecy. Bow Low! Bow Low! the Shah and Sheik are drawing near and the mighty Perunah and Somecraba arrived. So the comedy moved on through its romantic scenes Way up in the silvery moon with Two Little Honey-bees talking to their loves and threats of To Jail! To Jail! for the infidels. Nowobeh and Sam had no dough, do, do, but Sam finally did eat his million dates and fall for dat ole Miss Nowobeh. Colorful costumes, artistic stage setting, excellent singing, and good acting all played their part in making the two nights, on which The Gar- den of the Shah was presented, times to be remembered in the year 1927. Miss Statton, Mr. Adams, the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs and the Ag. Club worked long and strenuously and the result was an exceedingly well rendered musical comedy. .sz YT T X X Page Sixty-two f 1 K7 A 7 ' 2 2 E .fl I I' A sf...

When Dale came I asked him who it was that had come out just ahead of him. He was much surprised to find I did not know him. He said, That was Prof. Robert Chapman, the director of the orchestra in which I now play. Oh! I said, He used to be in our old high school orchestra at Georgetown, didn't he? But speaking of that orchestra, where are the rest of them 7 Do you remember Margaret Fazekas? Well she is now trick violin- ist and comedian with an indoor circus troop. Paul Mills has taken Paul Ash's place here in the city and is a wizard on his sax. Helen Lewman is soloist for a concert band.

Miss Statton, our old director, now Mrs. Cooley, is traveling in Europe and has gained much fame by several opera rolls, which she has written. Suddenly I felt a hand none too gentle on my shoulder. It was Miss Statton who kindly informed me I was at orchestra practice and not in dreamland. -C.

Great interest is shown, however, in these lines of work and they form an important part of the extra-curricula activi- ties of the school. Two plays are usually produced each year, one by the junior class and one by the senior. In these productions there has often been some very good talent unexpectedly discovered, and the casts have always benefited, by their training, not only by improving their dramatic skill, but also by developing their initiative, and their sense of re- sponsibility and by gaining more poise and self-posses- sion. MISS CLARK Coach of Dramatics and Contests It is in the second semester each year that the interest in public speak- ing runs high. This is, of course, because of the preliminary, district, and county speaking contests held each spring. The Vermilion Count, Oratorical and Athletic Association was organized in 1900 but it was not until four or five years later that the first county contests in declamation and oration were held, and not until 1914 that the extempore speaking event was added. Ever since the origin of these contests Georgetown High School has been an ardent participant and has made a very good record for herself. In the oratorical division she has won first place five times, and third, threeg in declamation, first place six times, and third, one timeg and she has placed in ten of the thirteen extempore contests that have been held, having won first place three times, second, fourg and third, three. With such an enviable record to uphold it is not difficult to arouse enthusiasm over the contest work. Every year there is much friendly rivalry between the different classes in high school and between the mem- bers of each class, and although only a few can represent the school in the district contest, many are willing to try out so that the very best available material can be selected. Everybody is willing to work to the best of his ability for the honor of the school.

She got as tickled as we did. JOHN: I'd say she did! I had some time trying to get the real professor and Harry Chalmers, the fake professor, straightened out be- cause you know those Underwood twins are the very picture of each other. DICK: I did too and that Glenn LeCount is a perfect scream dressed in woman's clothes. He can take the part of a woman as well as Gilbert Jones could. JOHN: We've got one girl in high school who still believes in pre- vious incarnation for Ruth sure thinks Fate has things all planned out for us even to finding a man. DICK: Say Dale sure believed in secret love affairs but he found out it doesn't pay, as Elizabeth, the modern widow, showed him. She was some dressed up woman. MACK: They had a dandy crowd. The house was full. O well, Georgetown always puts it over when it comes to plays. DICK: Russell Jaggers made a good looking old man. I hardly knew him with that mustache on. JOHN: You'd never have known that Harry Debarba was a swell football player when he was dolled up like a sissy with that big red tie on. MACK: Chick and Ruth Sheets made good sisters. Ruth is so dark and Chick is just the opposite. They got the men they wanted so what more should a girl ask in this world. DICK: This is the first time for about five years that it hasn't stormed on the night of the junior play: it sure went off fine. Well I've got to go study.

I In 1918 the first year-book was published. This was called the Kahki and Blue because it was put out dur- ing the war time. The editors were Harley Stark and Elizabeth Roesch and the book was sponsored by Miss Ruth Mary Moore. The next publication was the G put out in 1920 with Ernest Paxton and Dorothy Clift as editors and mss nl-:Es . . . Anim of Miss Rowena Johnson as adviser. This book has a black Publications cloth cover marked with a gilt G and is well planned. Getowhis was chosen as the name of the next annual which was published in 1922 with Lois Satterfield as editor. In 1922-23 a new and rather novel plan was followed. A monthly magazine called the Purple and White was published, in the various issues of which appeared the class, athletic, and club pictures which are ordinar- ily used in an annual. Then at the end of the year an opportunity was given to have these bound and in this way a book very much like an annual was obtained. This plan was followed for two years. Miss Rees was made adviser of this publication. In 1923 this magazine, the Purple and White, was entered in the contest of the Illinois State High School Press Association and won second place in its class. The members of the class of 1925 were anxious to return to the plan of publishing an annual. By their enthusiasm and interest they con- vinced the faculty that this was the thing to do and the first Swastika was the result. The Purple and White was changed into a newspaper and its publication was put in the hands of the juniors. This same plan has been followed since that time. This newspaper has also been suc- cessful in the State contestsg one time in winning second place and this year in winning honorable mention, the only award given. S See I X -LQ.

In the first place, the paper was made larger, a column being added to each page. Then the circulation has been greater this year than before and there have been more advertisements. A great deal of interest was aroused at the beginning of the year by the popularity contest which was held in connection with the subscrip- tion campaign. Another new feature this year was the box, placed on the wall in the assembly. In this box the high school people placed their jokes and other contributions, of which the best were printed. The paper was again entered in the Illinois State High School Press Association contest at Champaign and received a certificate of merit, the only award given this year. 5,- --.-..,-,f v -Lux 92 P A Page Seventy-four I X-1 A l i .is , l HQX ix f lute l, , ,Q at ,mn usg llv v g 1 ,HI A J ammnwmmll gg F A-gg i'N'LS 525111 argtzljrc 2'7f'fe'eeffe' --e Agriculture in Georgetown High School THE agriculture department of Georgetown Township High School was one of the last departments to be formed. Prior to 1921 an elementary course in general agriculture had been taught, but the employment of Mr. Haven Sheets, and the organizing of courses in agri- culture under the Smith-Hughes Act in the fall of 1921 marked the real beginning of the agriculture department. At first but two courses were offered, soils and crops, and animal husbandry. In 1922 H. M. Adams of the class of '23 of the Uni- versity of Illinois, came to take charge of the department ,md 0, and has been the teacher of agriculture ever since. The Alffifultuff Work- same two courses were taught in the year '22-'23 as had been offered the previous year. This year the Ag Club was organized and started its work. A corn show was held in the winter, and a father and son banquet was given in the spring. These activities have become permanent parts of the work of the Ag. Club and the agri- culture department. H. M. ADAMS In 1923-'24 a third course was offered. It consisted of one semester of farm mechanics and one of farm management. It was evident, how- ever, that these courses were not entirely satisfactory, so the next year our present four year course was arranged. Now four courses are offered: soils and crops, animal husbandry, farm mechanics, and farm manage- ment. The first two are alternated, and the last two are alternated, so that although only two courses are taught each year, the student can secure four years of agriculture. In 1924 the corn show was expanded into a Community Fair with the help of the business men of the town. Increasing interest has been taken in judging contests. In 1922-'23, contestants were sent to two contests. Since then, this part of the work has grown until now G. H. S. is represented in at least three contests each year. One of these is the State High School contest held at the University of Illinois each June. Last year, Georgetown was represented in each of the contests there: fat stock, dairy, sheep, grain and poultry. Twice G. H. S. teams have ranked in the first ten in the judging of dairy cattle. The department has grown steadily and Mr. Adams looks forward to a continued growth in the future. S! F X Page Seventy-five I I Zyl' 14 P E Mglli-XX X, 5741 7, i f Q -: - ' Qi ..

At this contest Wilbur Neubert was chosen as best individual judge and as a reward was given a trip to the International Stock Show. The annual peanut banquet, the initiation of new members, and the couple party added to the interest of the first semester. Exceptionally good grain and poultry exhibits marked the third annual Community Fair which was held two days, December third and fourth. New features this year were the hog calling contest won by George Ellis, the chicken calling contest won by Mrs. George Wheeler, and the master farmer contest won by Mr. A. W. Haworth. Instead of the annual play the club helped with the staging of the operetta, In the Garden of the Shah.

During the football season the club conducted a stand, at which eats were sold, and in this way realized a sum of money which was added to the club treasury. The club planned at the beginning of the year to use this money for purchasing an adding machine but this project was abandoned through lack of funds. Various social functions were held during the year and on the whole the club proved a success. swf fa A J I E I'lXX SX K-'Siv a' l .

The purpose of this club is to promote a close fellowship among the students and the faculty, and to develop a social spirit among its members. At all the football games these past four years, the visiting teams have been welcomed on our field by their colors, flying from the goal posts and elsewhere. This has been the work of the Girls' Club. The annual Ha1lowe'en party for the whole high school was given by the Girls' Club this year on the evening of the Sidell game. Those girls will be good cooks some day, was the exclamation after that hard fought game with Martinsville. That was because the speaker had been refreshed at the stand which the girls operated at the game. The interest in the club was not very great during the second semes- ter but perhaps next year the girls will reorganize with greater enthusiasm than ever before.

There were witches, hobgoblins, ghosts, and others whom it would be difficult to classify. All participated in a grand march which led across the stage while the judges picked the winning costumes. ' A well prepared entertainment followed in which a number of stu- dents staged a show of a day at G. H. S. This was very instructive to the teachers as it gave them a chance to see themselves as ithers see lem !H Later in the evening refreshments of huge candied apples and orange pop were served. CARNIVAL The annual carnival given by the seniors on November 5 and 6 for the benefit of the 1927 Swastika was a decided success in every way. The prosaic gym was turned into a regular Coney Island with horns, whistles, spielers and everything else but the merry-go-round. An excellent vaudeville program was given by the junior, sophomore and freshman classes in the main auditorium. On the program were a few celebrated bathing beauties from G. H. S. and a pair of world-famed Charleston dancers. Four gentlemen of color fwhich washed offj finished the entertainment by singing Bye, Bye Blackbirdsf' FOOTBALL BANQUET Six seniors ended their football career Thursday, December 16, when the annual football banquet was held in the high school gymnasium. About eighty people were present. Mr. E. A. Richardson, known to the boys and to the high school stu- dents as Big Rich, was the principal speaker of the evening. Other speakers were Captain-elect Harold Chandler, Captain Verlin Stark, Coach H. Don Sweeley, and Superintendent Ward N. Black. G's were awarded to seventeen members of the squad and many things were planned for the coming year.

' ' - ' I guess the Prof. was a frosh one time. CLASS HISTORY On the morning of September 1, 1918 some thirty mothers prepared their off- spring for their first day of school. No one could have looked upon that group without remarking upon, their bright future and infinite possibilities. Now in their first year of high school look at them. Is this green, illiterate, uncouth bunch the result of those teach- ers' eight years of work? But yes, they are freshmen. Nuff said. J UNIORS We are the class of '28 That we didn't come sooner's the work of fate, Next year we'll be seniors if nothing slips And sail into harbor in 'victory ships. JUNIORS The juniors are well launched on the stream of knowledge. They are able to tell you without blushing that you spell love with a capital L. Unlike the freshmen they now wash their necks without being told. This is all the low-down we have on them at the present time but before closing we must say, A fine class, yes a very fine class. SOPHOMORES We are the class of '29, We were once green, but it's been a long - time, We've learned a lot on our journey thru life, It's a cold, hard world and full of strife. NOTED SOPHS 'William Moore-the school's champion heavy-weight-now tips the scales at 98. Max Gudauskas-took all prizes in a recent beauty contest. . Steve Chantos-receives honorable mention for cutting his eye teeth before entering high school. Margaret Fazekas-prominent public speaker. Edna May Rock-recently awarded a medal by Mr. Black for keeping tongue tied for five minutes.

No, since Mills bought the pool room on 32nd Street he don't loaf around much any more. Heard from Cahoon last week, dandy letter! Said he was making quite a success in Australia selling alligator pocket books to the natives. Hello there, Dick! How's restaurant business? Hello, old timers! Business is slow at the present, but it will pick up no doubt again in the summer season. Say, you old fossils, guess who dined at my place today. Imagine Frances Houghton and Lelia Burgoyne going east for the spring opera season. Yep, some of our old classmates proved more or less successful, didn't they? Remember Doris Claywell, our class president? I heard a while back she had been elected senator from Iowa. She said, however, she hated to give up her family life for politics, 'lowing as how her and Joe were happy. But then, she said, there is our country to think of. Well she's not the only member who showed class, soowled John, 'member Verdie Galbreath? She gave another recital in Olivet last week on her violin. Critics say she's almost as good as Offal Screetch, the Hungarian Lizard, 'er I mean Wizard. Heard anything of Bill Tucker lately, Dick? No, last I heard of him he was still trying for that 'round the Black Sea record swim. Well we have another famous athlete, too, on our roll. 'Member Mabel Bunch? Was she that quiet one? Yeah. Well, she Won the International tennis championship at In- dianola last week. Some speed, eh! Isn't it about time for a dinner bell program over the raido? John, suppose you turn it on. Radio Broadcasting Station ABBA broadcasting our regular 5:30 o'clock dinner bell program, introducing first the 'Purple Symphony Trio' featuring Anna Dailida, Lida Gudauskas, and Mary Niziolkiewicz with a selection from Chokitt in 'V Minor'. Say, Dick, aren't those names familiar to you? Sure are! Don't you remember those always cheerful classmates in our old school? Stand by please for further announcements! 'Hello, Everybody, this is Popcorn and Peanuts Humorists Duo. We have had a request from Station WHEZ, from the known artist, Mlle. Galyen, and we are glad to s'7Ff . .

Now for the benefit of those who came in late and are not acquainted with Popcorn and Peanuts we wish to introduce ourselves as the Mt. Starr and the Hon. Mr. Loving. If you're up in the ari, we are at your service'. John, sounds to me like mo' classmates. Guess this isn't a real radio to make us look back on those happy days. Yes, does make you exercise the old gray matter. Discussing class- mates and successes, think what Coach Spicer turned out at 'Voo Doo' last football season. He had a successful team and two all American men. Maybe his wife hasn't something to be fond of. Say, John, didn't he marry Mildred Stevenson of our class? 'Mem- ber how we used to say she would make a model housewife? Guess old Spicer is lucky in more ways than one. All time. And so, John, I see where more of our old gang attained success in the Goss, McMillan and Goss, Inc., Supporters of South African Ice Skates. But some of the girls instead of leading a career made a success in family life. Guess Edna and her Grand Duke retired and re- turned to Georgetown, and then there's Thelma Davis. She married a brick layer, who finally turned out to be a remarkable architect. Not so bad for those girls l John, puffing away at his pipe and pulling his beard, never moved until Dick asked him for a match and lighting his cigar said, Ruby Cornelius sure never changed. Always cool in gentlemen's company and is now running a large correspondence school of art, and all the members of her staff are women. Strange girl that! Then there's those girls, Lois Black and Doris Brazelton. What did they do, Mack ? Well it seems to me they moved to New Mexico and traveled for the Housewives' Favorite Magazine Company. Say, hollowed Dick, You guys seem to forget Wilma Schaefer and Iela Emory. They run a Home for Blind Mice in Hume. And talking about homes and that sort of thing I hear Florence Miller is a successful nurse in the Home for Fallen Emperors over in Europe. ' Well you old reprobates, I am open to congratulations. Just received a divorce from my Wife and sold my elevator in Meeks all in about an hour and a quarter. Why, hello there, Morris, chirped John and Dick. Not to be out- done by them, I jumped up and shook his hand and almost stepped on Dick's gout. Sit down, Howard, said John. We've just been talking over the success our classmates had. Why not say a few things in regard 'oo your own success, John? Eo4u'gve lived a retired life since that engineering project of yours in All time, said John, and you, Mack, I guess as a columnist and hack writer your life has not been empty. --,.,s..,, Sri- gvfli l W: ig 1 5 il' XX .- fm -ll lll5 'l5Ei 53'-'3'Y7 f 'K f' 'f .

Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1927 SCIENCE-Office of Attorney Ward N. Black. Time-September, 1927.

GEORGETOWN FOOTBALL CREED We have entirely too many parlor athletes, drug store cowboys with their hair combed back so tight that it holds their mouths open. They should get out on a football iield where men are men and necks are noth- ing, then they would be fitted for life's work, capable of holding a job- even teaching school. -H. DON. ' THE G.H.S. PURPLES MEET THE MIDWAY REDS Two of the most powerful football aggregations that were ever ag- gregated met upon the cleat-chawed gridiron of the Purples. At the first whistle both teams flew at each other like Fords at a traffic signal. At the end of the half the score was 0-0 in nobody's favor. At the beginning of the second half, back they went with that old- time fighting spirit, determined to beat or get beaten. Time after time, they failed to gain and time after time they held the visitors. Finally on the thirty-yard line, last down, eight yards to go and thirty seconds to. play, Eddie Oatmans dropped back for a place-kick as a last resort to win. The ball was snapped back and Eddie booted it as a pair of ends went tearing down the field. The kick fell short but Coster Bemnickam, the crafty end, ran exactly in its path and bounced it squarely off his head directly between the goal posts-the headiest play of the season, proving Sweeley's oft-repeated remark that brains, not brawn, would win the game.

Mack McGee-Assistant Loquaciter. Iela Emory-Heap Big Gossip. This active organization was formed by a few of the more talkative members of G.H.S. As usual it was started by the girls and it seems as though they end it. A few boys, who were curious to find out the proce- dure of the meetings, were immediately elected into membership and since that time haven't had a chance to get a word in edgeways and tell all they know or get up nerve enough to drop out. Some of the honorary members are: Gilbert Jones, Paul Mills, Joe Mahoney, Windy Chandler, Roy Warner, Lorraine Cook, Susie Wilson, Margaret Fazekas, Dorothy Chandler and H. Don Sweeley. THE BUSY BEE CLUB Officers-Louise Williams, Queen Beeg Dorothy Burd, Busiest Beep Catharine Myers and Verdie Galbreath, Would Bees. The Busy Bee Club, one of our major activities, is pledged with all solemnity to be loyal to its creed with its three major resolutions, which read thus: We, the members of the Secret Order of the Almighty Busy Bee Club, do hereby pledge ourselves: First, to giggleg second, to gossip, third, to both giggle and gossip. I The time and place of meeting of this club shall be 400 times a day at any convenient place we come together. The first important question which was brought before this great de- liberative body was this: Do good athletes always make good sheiks? Here is the Busybeeical Record of the meeting: Catharine Myers- Why should I know? Verdie Galbreath- There's been so much said and so well said that I can reach no decision. Betty Kendal- If someone will tell me whether good sheiks always make good athletes then I will make up my mind on the other question. Chick- Since you can reach no decision yourselves, I shall render my own. This high school possesses neither good athletes nor good sheiks. Now we shall proceed as before. 35' if ' , H, V?-T'TfC 1 S 4 I E Page Ninety-eight il Q 5'1f':i., ' ' 'I-- .iF uImllUlI llln ..-u-ni- 1, llll lllll - l we a ifiagawawmaanmiwihiiii 1' A ' 'aa' oily gwacifliiii 27 Afi' 'C Ai CC' CALENDAR SEPTEMBER 3-New teachers and new freshmen arrive. 10-Juniors order rings and pins.

Ordinarily this does not amount to less than 85,000 up to the time you leave high school. The least you can do is to see that this debt is taken care of. It is a Debt of Honor. If you live, your success will as- sure it. If you die, Life Insurance, and that only, can guarantee it. The Minnesota Mutual Life R. F. Dukes, Agt. Ins.

There were three students in the class. That was the beginning of what are today the Utterback Business Colleges--now located in Danville, Paris, Mattoon and Olney, with almost 700 registrations annually. Utterback's in Danville was opened in 1925. In 1926 Brown's was bought and consolidated with Utterback's, giving Danville and vicinity one big efficient school, and putting Utterback's Schools into the lead as the fastest growing business college chain in the Central West. Anyone interested in business education, may consult with R. M. Utterback, Principal, at his office in Danville School, 103 North Vermilion, at any time. 0i0 iffillifliiiii iii! illillii illitlilliilii i011 12405 2 2 I I 3 W ebster Grocer Company 3 I Danville, Illinois 2 2 Phones Main 377-378-379 I I ?..

Merely pressing a button today starts a motor which removes the drudgery of the back-breaking tasks which required the handle or crank of yesterday-and does the same work more efficiently at the rate of less than 3 cents per hour. In the development of refrigeration, caves, cellars, wells, and springs were used in the early days, and for many years melting ice in a box has been the method of attempting to preserve food in the home. Today the modern ICEMAN calls once and the ice stays always. For Frigidaire is automatic and serves you day and night without atten- tion, keeping foods better, colder, and longer. THE DRUDGERY of washing, ironing, sweeping is over. Five Million 5150.00 electric washers replace 510.00 boards and tubs. You can operate a Whirldry Washer for 1112 cents per hour, saving 156 hours every year. Thirteen Million electric 57.50 irons replace a 65-cent iron. You can operate an electric iron for 5 cents per hour, saving 13 miles of unnecessary steps per year. Six Million 375.00 electric sweepers replace a 75-cent broom. You can operate a GE Sweeper for 1176 cents per hour. WATER is brought to you at the turn of the faucet-just like turn- ing on the light. Two and a Half Million 3150.00 automatic water systems deliver water, replacing a 37.00 pump 25 feet from the house.
