Allen Thornton Secretary J. K. Galbreath, James L. White, C. H. Henry President Three cheers tor the Board! These are well deserved cheers, for the responsibility that is cast upon these men is great. First they find a place for all the students and assemble them in some definite order. But, alas, order would never last without a watchful eye to enforce it. This leads to the task of hiring teachers to instruct these minors of the school. After these instructors have been chosen, they must be paid, which the board does, with the help of the other people of Georgetown, who back them. Then there are ever so many other expenses and responsibilities to be met, enough in fact to keep seven men busy for a year. Everything runs smoothly until the new freshmen begin to arrive and then a place must be found for them. This task falls to Mr. Black and the board. After places are found for them, it is found that a new teacher is needed. The task that confronted the board at the beginning of school again “bobs up.” and they choose another teacher. Due to the fact that there is this additional weight on their shoulders, these men should be admired rather than criticized, even if they do refuse us a half-holiday' once in a while.

Now they are tossed to the hands of fate, This dear old class of ’28; But they will always shine with the best. Because of their training in G. H. S. I’a nr Twenty-one History of fine Class of ’29 O EPTliMBER of 1927 saw the class of '29 entering high 0 school as juniors, eagerly looking forward to the work which they were to accomplish that year. A committee met with Miss Rees, and the staff for the high school paper, The Purple and White, was decided upon. Dorothy Hurd was chosen editor and Joe Mahoney, business manager. The paper gained honorable mention at the state meeting held in Champaign. The class with the aid of Miss Clark put on a very good play, The Tightwad, a three-act comedy. In the sport realm the juniors were among the best. They had seven G” men in football and a good showing in basket ball. Both boys and girls shared the enthusiasm of track. The class was represented in all of the musical activities of the year as well as in the numerous clubs. The honor roll also always contained many junior names. The members of the class of '29 all agree that their junior year has been one of the happiest since they started to school and they are looking forward with even greater anticipation to the time when they will be seniors and do greater things.

Many have been lost by the wayside and an even greater number added until only a few of the original group remain. In 192b. when our class entered high school, there were eighty-one members. At that time we were necessarily quite fresh and everything including the assembly and the upper classmen assumed vast importance. Since then we have learned that upper classmen are mere human beings and the assembly has shrunk to normal size. This year llomer Morris was elected president for the first semester. Dannie Mahoney taking his place at the beginning of the second semester. Though our class basketball teams have made little showing, several of our members have made the varsity team and on the gridiron have made themselves famous. Two of our girls and several boys were asked to join the F.L.H. club. Those who succeeded in reaching the required level in their grades attained membership in the Science club. Of our number about one-fifth have joined the Glee clubs, taking part in the operettas both years. A few girls made the semi-chorus. Quite a few entered the speaking contest last spring. We hope to add to this record in the next two years to such an extent that our teachers will feel repaid for their efforts and we may graduate happilv. a credit to old G.H.S.

However, these mice seemed to fascinate the boys. The class made some grievous mistakes at first. Somebody sat down on the wrong side of his seat, somebody spelled science wrong, and somebody said his parents were “Papa” and “Mama.” Some even forgot to come to class and ever so many other calamities happened. The boys have done well in sports, especially in the inter-class basketball games, where they won the cup from all the other classes. The girls weren’t so good but they tried very hard. Putting two and two together, it’s not as bad as many people say it is, to be a “freshy.” Did you ever think about it r 1 he faculty and all the rest of them were “freshies” once. They came out all right, so why won’t we? I'd like to know. Jean Ai.my, ’31 Pnf c Twnity-six Class of 1931 First Semester June Hoth..... Joe Gorman.... Hoyt Paxton...

So under the balcony they went with a bound. And orders were given to not make a sound. They took to their work with a happy face, ith hopes to some day gain a place In the halls of dear old G.H.S., I or this they were striving as well as the rest. But they’ll soon retire from their freshman year, And become sophomores without a fear. Next they’ll be juniors so brave yet so flighty. And last but not least seniors so mighty. Winnifrkd Bi rd, ’31 I’ai c Twculv-cifihl Tire Tear in Athletics C OACH II. DON SWHHLEV pried the lid off - of the 1927-’28 athletic season at Georgetown High by making a call for football candidates, September 1, 1927. About forty men responded. Sweeley is a graduate of Susquehanna University. Pennsylvania. While in college he took part in football, basketball, and baseball. He was captain of the basketball and football teams during his last year. He has made a fine record for himself during his four years of coaching at Georgetown, as he has won twenty-one, tied seven, and lost seven football games. He has put out good basketball and track teams also. Sweeley has made a world of friends for himself, for he is not only worshipped by his men of the different athletic clubs, but the people outside of school also think a great deal of him. Mr. Burch also deserves a great deal of credit for the success of athletics the last two years. He has worked hard with the freshman squads and he did some good scouting during the football season. Burch played basketball a year and a half at the Missouri School of Mines, and while there he also received a letter in tennis. He was on the track team at the South Dakota State School of Mines. Georgetown opened her 1927 grid campaign with one of her toughest schedules. The season opened and closed in a rather peculiar manner. The first game, with Urbana, ended in a scoreless tie, and the closing game, with Westville, ended in the same way. Taking the season as a whole, it was a fairly successful one, as Georgetown won five games, tied two and lost two. A fine feeling existed among the squad throughout the year, as every one kept strictly to the training rules and no one was called up on the little green carpet during the entire year. The annual football banquet was held at the close of the year and Paul (Skinny) Galyen was elected captain for 1928. Letters were awarded to Moreman (the big sissy), Chantos (the little fat fellow), Galyen (the heart-breaker), Dabarba (the boy from out West), Davenport (the coming undertaker), Sawicki (the leaping Lena), Elliot (the big fat boy), Warren (the boy that takes all the girls to the basketball games), Mahoney (the laughing Irishman), Velikis (the boy with the boy face), Morgan (the fellow with all the rheumatism), Morris (the woman killer), Edmonds (the big Swede), and Chandler (the drawback). Edmonds and Sawicki made a berth on the All-County eleven and Sawicki gained a place on Rocky Wolfe’s All-State team. Georgetown should enjoy one of her most successful seasons next year, as there are only three men lost to the squad due to graduation. They are Debarba, Edmonds, and Chandler. Coach Sweeley Page Thirty-one Georgetown had one of the best basketball squads this year that she has had for many years. There were many old players on the team and as a result they turned out some high-class basketball. Coach Sweeley also built up a freshman team which will, in a year or so, give strength to the varsity squad. The freshmen showed up very well, playing several games, of which they won more than half. Georgetown went into each of the following tournaments with high hopes, County, Sidell Invitational, and District, but each time her hopes were shattered by a small margin. As a whole, nevertheless, the basketball season was successful with more than half of the games showing a score in Georgetown’s favor. The good spirit of the football season continued to exist through the basketball season. Edmonds received a place on the All-County five in the tournament held at Hoopeston and on the All-Star five in the Invitational tournament at Sidell. The basketball squad will receive quite a setback due to graduation, as it will lose five good men, Jaggers, Baldwin, Mahoney, Davenport, and Edmonds. Those that won letters at the close of the season were Russell Jaggers, Otis Edmonds, Halary Sawicki, Bernard Morgan, Santo Paradiso, Homer Morris, Leo Gerard. Ray Davenport, Max Baldwin, and Joe Mahoney. Another thing that helped basketball was the class games in which the junior girls and the freshman boys won the cups. The faculty games staged by the men teachers of Westville and Georgetown were full of thrills and spills, mostly spills. There was a very good attendance at both games. The faculty from Westville proved the stronger, as they won both games. The 1928 track season opened with those nice warm days of March, for as soon as the weather permitted the members of the team were out on the cinder lane with their spikes. The inter-class meet was won in 1927 by the senior class. Harold Chandler, Football Captain.

They have done good work in leading the cheering at football and basketball games and at pep” meetings. The position of yell leader is an important one. As great care should be used in electing these leaders as in choosing team members and as great a responsibility should be felt by those elected. Good cheering encourages a team and keeps up the interest of the spectators. It is just one more way in which to show outsiders that Georgetown High School is a live school—one of the best in the state.

The entire squad should receive the praise for the season and not merely the “G” men.

None false, none base, through all the years which come OTIS EDMONDS Cap lain 1927-1928 A good captain of a good team. Under his leadership the basketball team enjoyed a very successful season. basketball Above: Sweeley (Coach), Morris, Paradiso, Mahoney, Black (Supt.) Below: Davenport, Baldwin, Edmonds (Capt.), Gerard, Jaggers. Not in picture: Sawicki, Morgan. G be Basketball “G” Men Morris—Developing into a shifty, clever guard. Paradiso—Little but very active. A clever, fast and aggressive little ball player. Mahoney—A capable guard. Hard on bankboards. Davenport—Developed into a shifty, sharp-shooting forward. Baldwin—Another boy who scored consistently for the team. Edmonds (Captain)—An All-County center. A very consistent point-maker. Gerard—A very good guard. He travels a lot on the basketball floor. Jaggers—Long, lean, and lengthy. A willing worker. Sawicki—A hard, aggressive player. If the baskets were bigger, lie would be a wonder. Morgan—A good floor man and clever handler of the ball. He doesn’t put enough of them through the hoop. In addition to the first squad there were a number of boys who stayed out for basketball the full season. They were Steve Chantos. Kenneth Crum, Donald Grubb. Merrill Mahoney, Dwight Reid, Bob Warren. Bernard Thompson. William Parke. Frank Owens, Wayne Henry, Joe Gorman, Wayne Emory. Raymond Campbell, and Elmo Snook.

Freshmen! Freshmen!” Such were the cries i given by the opposing teams after having played the freshmen, for Captain Gorman managed a very successful class basketball team. Mahoney, Gorman, and Parke had an unerring eye for the basket, while Snook and Campbell were satisfied to keep the ball from the members of the opposing teams. Snook being of an unselfish disposition, often dribbled up to the foul line, where he flipped the ball to one of the perfect shots. Emory and Byerley did good work as subs. The boys have profited very much by their grade school experience under the supervision of Mr. Ward, principal of the Frazier building. Mr. Burch, adviser for the freshman class, has paid close attention to the players and kept them in fine shape. Woe be unto you who play the freshmen. Look at the scores if you don’t believe it.

Georgetown won second place in the Vermilion County Track meet held at Georgetown in 1927. Westville won first place by a very small margin. Georgetown also won the relay.

I'ayc Forty f ur A SOCCER TEAM The Girls’ Athletic Tear ) EC A USE of the interest shown in soccer, a game introduced into the school it this year for the first time, the girls physical training classes were attended more regularly than ever before during the fall. The classes, freshman and sophomore, were divided into two parts and each division played two evenings a week. When the soccer season was over, basketball came in and was taken up with new interest because of the changed rules. The girls played boys’ rules with six on the team. All the games were exciting and somewhat amusing from the side lines. The junior team consisting of Alma Hess, Susie Wilson, Ona Belle Moody, Katherine McMahon, Mary Jo Scott, Dorothy Burd, Mildred Stedman, Mary Dorn-blaser, and Catharine Kendall, won the cup in the interclass tournament. Those who received letters for their ability were Katherine McMahon, Mary Jo Scott. Mildred Stedman, Virginia Mackey. Violet Stahl and Louise Williams. In the 1927 Interclass Track and Field meet all the classes turned out well. The following are the standing records in the various track and field events: 100-Yard Dash...........Edith Thornton......-........ 50-Yard Dash...........Marion Duke.................. 220-Yard Dash...........Gertrude Whitlow............. 75-Yard Dash...........Marion Duke.................. 60-Yard Hurdles........Mildred Stedman..............

Junior Champions LUCK is ever present, but not to everyone does it bring good fortune. There are two kinds of luck and the junior team, thrust into the winds of chance was taken into the hands of the right kind. Some people don’t believe that everyone or anyone can trust altogether to luck. Perhaps that is true, but in our case it was essential. “Without practice oneteannot be perfect,” (mis-quoting the proverb), and that is the reason we left all the responsibility to Dame Fortune. By playing the freshmen overtime we succeeded in taking the game with a 10-12 score, and the sophomores held us to such a degree that we won with a final score 4-2. Then we played the seniors for the cup, and got through by the skin of our teeth, so to speak, by obtaining a one point lead and a score of 6-5 at the end of the game. By this record it is only too evident that it was practically a matter of good fortune on our part that we received the cup. Nevertheless, the girls worked hard for the title and it is only fair to say that they made the task easier for Lady Luck. Katherine McMahon, ’29.

Page Fifty-three die Agricultural Club ViURGHTOWN'S Ag. Club has placed itself on the highest rungs of the vocational agricultural ladder. It has some of the best amateur stock and grain judges in the state. It also has members in almost all of the 4-H Clubs who are very highly recognized in the state. The club has sponsored the community fair for several years and has done many other things to help the agricultural progress of the community. The Georgetown Corn Club is sponsored by the K. and S. department store and was started three years ago. Georgetown now has about twenty members. Wilbur Neubert was the best 4-II club boy in the state in 1927. He is a good dairy judge and a boy whom Georgetown can be proud to have in its Ag. department. Glenn Le Count won first place in swine judging at the 1. and T. fair in 1927. Pafjc Fifty four Mr. Adams has been agricultural instructor at Georgetown since 1922. He has worked hard in his department and has produced results, as shown by the success of his clubs and the interest shown in them. JUDGES AND CLUBS Individuals of the sectional fat stock judging team took third in all-round fat stock judging and first in swine judging. The boys of the Guernsey Calf club are a good bunch of boys with a bunch of good calves. Max Baldwin, one of the sectional grain judges, took fifth place at Metcalf. In the state contest he took third in 1927. The I. and 1. fair judging teams took third in dairy and individual and first in swine judging. The Fig club is organized for better Poland Chinas. Paul Galyen and Howard Thomas went as poultry judges to Metcalf in 1927.

Boys’ Glee Club rHIi fact that boys are so willing to be flattered is probably the reason you see so many bright and smiling faces in the above picture. Despite this handicap these boys can sing! In fact it has been said they can beat the girls. But of course opinions differ. However they have accomplished so many hue things under the direction of Miss Wicher and Mr. Adams that they deserve a great deal of praise. In fact had it not been for this club how could the operetta, The Gypsy Rover, have been a success? The following officers were elected for the year.

Girls’ Glee Club A T the opening of school, the call came for musical voices. After a few days jT 1 of try-outs the Girls’ glee club was organized under the direction of Miss VVicher. 'Phis society has done much toward the betterment of the school, having sung several times before the assembly. With the aid of the grade school and the Hoys’ glee club they gave a Christmas pageant, “He is come.” In the spring the two glee clubs gave the operetta. “The Gypsy Rover,” which, after much hard work and study, proved a great success.

H. S. Orchestra. The music was generally played with variations. Some one tapped three times, all eyes were turned toward the director, everyone started on the pick-up and then the variations began. First the second violins were all out of tune. Then Betty produced a loud and lasting squawk on her sax. This threw the musicians into a laughing confusion. Once more everyone was settled and thev took up the piece again. Although the orchestra had this fine start, it accomplished quite a few things during the year. Orchestrations to the “Little Yellow Book” were purchased and music was furnished for assembly singing. Catharine Kendall, ’29 Page Fifty-eight Top: The Cast; Mr. Adams.

The scenery, costumes, and lighting effects were especially pleasing. The cast and choruses were made up of the members of the two glee clubs. Members of the Ag. club assisted with the stage settings and scene shifting. Gypsy Rob’s Fairyland, Lord Craven's “Doncha know,” and Marto’s and Sinfo’s IVe Are Merry Robbers were some of the high points in the production.

The club was organized this year for a deeper study into physics, mathematics, chemistry, zoology and botany than may be had in the regular high school courses. “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Now just watch our smoke. It’s a hot club. President................ Vice President........... Secretary and Treasurer.

Well, we are not sure that there is but we had this picture so what could we do but use it ? Since almost everybody in the club looks happy, perhaps it’s a sunshine club. Some of the senior girls didn’t have a chance to get into any other group picture the day this was taken, so it would be a shame to disappoint them by omitting the picture from the annual. This club has some officers or did have once. After much inquiry we found out who they were and you can find their names at the bottom of the page. Members of the club decorated the football field last fall so they have that much to their credit. They also sponsored a very enjoyable Hallowe’en party. They made some fine plans for assembly programs but alas like so many good intentions these came to nothing. Here’s their picture anyway. Look them over and you’ll ajdmit they are a dandy looking group of girls.

Partly because the F. L. H. with the help of the other students backed them. This club, dressed in purple and white costumes, furnished the “pep” at the home games. In order to help increase the ticket sales of the games, sides were chosen during the season with Bernice Houghton and Buell Reid as the captains. The contest between these teams closed March 7. Bernice’s side as losers entertained the winning side and the basketball squad. The club members wish to thank Mr. Burch for his efforts to make the club a success.

Page Seventy-sis cTbe Notables To commemorate Dale’s great election, As president of our nation, We’ve gathered here in '38, The work of all I now shall state. Remember Elizabeth Baum of old ? Of course you do, oh, mercy! Well, she studied in Alaska land. And is now a Galli Curci. Max Baldwin with his voice of gold, A radio announcer is by name. On Station NUT he’s found; Oh, girls! You’ll adore his tone and fame! Our hero of the day is Loving, You can’t guess what he’s done— He’s made a second Valentino, But Mary keeps his “mon.” The Underwood twins one position obtained To help poor dumb-bells get out of the rain. When one gets wet, he shows no grief But goes to dry while his twin gives relief. Raymond Savage too lives up to his name, For the Cooke he stole without any shame. He keeps her shut in a cage of iron While he works daily with hay in his barn. Helen Hickman a washwoman is, The size of her muscles will make one look “diz.” She weighs nigh 300, just pleasingly plump. (As she plays the piano, her fat fingers go thump.) Frank Owens, a handsome old brute, Is now well known as the maker of boots. A cow, knife, and hammer, and he will make A shoe even Russell’s wee feet would take. Dort Chandler—oh. you’ll ’member her— Still monkies with her hair. She’s now a bathing beauty In her own old home-town fair. Now Russell Jaggers a bugologist is. When it comes to fleas, ole Russ is a whiz! He washes 'em, dresses ’em, calls each by name, In turn they teach him the Itch and Scratch” Game. Now Harry DeBarba just mill’ has made, An important part in a bank he has played. He’s partly the doorman, the cashier he makes, For good-looking men, Harry takes all the cakes. Louise Jones, the rowdy y thing, The magnet for brides and grooms is king. A parson she’s settled down to be And already married herself to three. Hazel Brown is a famous debater Of Lincoln’s and Douglas’ class. When she gets through tearing her hair She drops down into a mass. Page Seventy-seven Windy is a lawyer, and argues like the deuce. Divorce cases lie handles, where there’s money loose. He sits at his great desk, with cushions at his feet And when he gets mad, cushions and head meet. Lillian with Mavin, 1 know you’ve heard, Are directing a chorus of pretty blackbirds. A second Miss Wicher she wished to be. (I’m glad she has black-birds instead of me.) Doc Brookshier has followed his Daddy’s footsteps And become a doctor of little insects. For cooties he’s found it is a great help To soak you in gas and then th'-will melt. John Gallez, the boy with the Indian look, Found him a pencil and wrote him a book. The title. I’ll tell, is The Flapf'crs Today. It’s written so cleverly, his cute sort of way. Glenn I„e Count has fulfilled his name, He’s the count of the pigmies, ain’t dat a shame? We thought he’d be president, maybe a king, At least something more than of such a small thing. Wanda’s a teacher of civics, She pounds it in with a brick. And if you don’t pay attention, You’ll surely get a kick. Now Betty Kendall, you all know, Is a horseback rider in a circus show. She rides ’em little and she rides ’em - big, But once broke the back of a poor little pig. Homer Stephenson now just blows glass In shapes and forms of those in his class. Your statue in crystal you’ll find on his shelf, ’Course the best-looking one is of Homer himself. Ruth Strader is the actress grand She travels lots in the foreign land. She swings by her hair, then stands on her head, While wiggling her toes, or so :t is said. Faustyna Radomski has made a pole climber. She’ll do it eyes open, or you can blind her. At the top she will pose on the tip of her toe, 1 non say, “Slide, Kelly, slide,” and away she will go. Cecil is still the hurdler of great fame and renown, You’ll find him hurdling houses in every part of town. He does it morn and evening, and even night and noon. Soon he will be a beating the cow’s jump o’er the moon. Ona Hawkins, give her the glance, sir, For she’s now a famous dancer. Her study of art she’s not forgot, But aesthetic dancing’s not so much rot. Page Seventy eight Lyle Sheets is the heavy weight champ. He K.O.’s them all. in bed makes them camp. His home is in London, so that Le will be free To fly back and forth across the great sea. Big Mr. Richards a creation made In the form of a pig that had only-one leg. More bacon, he says, it will make for the meal, And the best part is. the pig has no squeal. Noble Madden is noted for grace. And in his career he sets a great pace. His Spanish dancing amuses the ring That boards at the house of famous Sing-Sing. “Rat” Myers is a football coach, She learned it all from Peg. Her team has scoured the country wide. “More teams to beat,” they beg. “Chic” Williams still loves her music, For she sits behind the slot In an old fake piano, And for a nickel plays a lot. Alta Thomas, the girl you’ll remember, Now owns and runs a mill of lumber. With one mighty blow she splits the rails, She’s strong as those in fairy tales. Louise K. Wii.ua'ms, ’28 Poet’s Pretty Poems The Skccter I wish I wuz a skeeter As mean as he can be. I’d buzz around the teachers And bite ’em on the knee. I’d make ’em smoke terbacker To keep us skeeters ’way. That ’ud make ’em sick and dizzy And the kids ’ud git to play. If I got to bite Miss Miller. I’d laugh ’til I’d most sneeze. For then she’d git malary ’Cause you see I’m ’nopheles. I’ll make the wimmen wear knickers To keep us skeeters ’way. I’d bite them doggone teachers Who took the fun from play. I’m just a boy muskeeter, And so I like my fun, And uther kids are that way too. So, teachers, now I’m done. K. U., ’28. Memories of Senior English My heart leaps up when 1 behold Under the greenwood tree A perfect woman nobly planned! What shall, alas! become of me? She is a phantom of delight.

Quite a long time ago someone said. There is no friendship in business. He couldn't have been thinking very hard when he said it, because nothing was ever farther from the truth. The business of our store has been built up entirely on friendship—the sincere kind that tries to give our customers just a little more than a square deal. The very future of this town depends on the friendship of the surrounding community. and we who serve in its stores should remember that ev� ry discourteous and selfish act on our part hurts our own future: every kind and thoughtful act is just another stone to build up mutual prosperity.

We wish to thank the men ol the W estville and Georgetown faculties tor the two basketball games played for our benefit. Also may we thank all who came to these games. Every one who helped with the carnival deserves great thanks. There were so many who helped and they did so much we can’t give all their names. Especial thanks should be given, however, to Mr. Almy for his construction work in the gym and to the people who were in charge and took part in the Fashion Show and the Minstrel Show. The Indianapolis Engraving Company and the Interstate Printing Company have been very kind in co-operating with the staff in every way. Mr. Magniez has been ready at any time, day or night, to take pictures for us and we have never known him to be the least bit grouchy about it. Since it would be of little use to publish an annual if no one bought it. thanks should be given to the different classes and their advisers for their help in putting over the sales campaign. Our advertisers deserve perhaps the most thanks of all. If they did not buy our advertising space we never could pay for our book. We ask the student body to give them their patronage. Last, but not least, may we thank those who buy the annual. May our good luck sign go with you and every one who has shown an interest in our book. The Staff One Hundred Twelve 5 I .� i ■ � ■ .
