This year the masculine element predominated in both semesters. The first semester, Dan Mahoney was chosen president; William Parke, vice president, with Elmo Snook as secretary and treasurer. The second semester, Perry Baldwin became president; Santo Paradiso, vice president, and John Testa was elected to the position that takes care of all the superfluous money that’s coming in for the junior-senior banquet. SCHOOL NOTES OF TWELVE YEARS AGO (From here, there, and yonder) Mrs. Ella Dukes was training our letter-men to get their A-B-C’s instead of G’s in those active days. A certain junior boy could tell you that reserved seats (in the corner) came pretty cheap then—but the laugh of the whole class always came at your expense! Those were breathless days for “Liz” Warner—how she would tear after Helen Mae! Anna Lee Mitchell was not yet receiving amorous advances from Joseph Henry. Martha Driskell did a specialized sort of yelling those days at her own bawl-games.

A Junior Success '1'he juniors leave behind a year filled with both great and small achievements. Following the precedent set by previous junior classes in assuming greater responsibilities, they have come forth just as triumphantly if not more so. Their publication of the school paper was met with great approval both because of its content and of the change to a higher grade of paper than that used previously. The results of the production of the romantic gypsy comedy, “()nce in a Lifetime,” that was chosen as the class play were more than satisfying and the talent displayed speaks promisingly for next year’s dramatics. These chief activity successes rellect splendidly the character of a class that is ready for the senior year’s finishing touches, and another year of school success. Page Seventeen I|gg! LA CAJA DEL ORO 'Ml '‘- -i:''’•'A-•-•••; Extracts from Travels Among Classes” Situated in the Sea of Sophistication and within close proximity to the Georgetown High School is a small island of some sixty-three inhabitants called the “Land of the Sophs.” The natives of this place are sober individuals with a general eccentricity of manner. The place is under the rule of Miss Georgia Henderson whose severity in enforcing her Geometrical Theories has caused much discontent and uprising among the subjects. Outside of this she is an agreeable personage and seems a little inclined to encourage social activities with another tribe whose chief characteristics are those of excessive giggling and a bright greenness in color. These social affairs or “weiner roasts” as they call them are gatherings at which amazing amounts of frankfurters and an equal abundance of buns are devoured at one sitting. However much of the association is a matter of form since the Sophs have a general contempt for this tribe. Modern to the minute, they hold elections twice a year and it is not unusual to find women elected to the presidential office. At a recent election Kenneth Clark was chosen president taking the place of Stephanie Snyder, the former one, and Richard Neild relinquished his office as vice president to Lena Vettorel. Their physical activities are quite numerous for both sexes. Football, a sport which envolves the practice of kicking a football, is considered to be one of the most popular for boys. Soccer, a modified form of football, is indulged in to a great extent by the girls. Basketball, a favorite indoor sport, is played quite extensively by everyone. A form of Olympics in every sport is sponsored annually, inviting the competition of neighboring tribes for contest. Their course of study along educational lines although well advanced reflects some of their peculiarities. For instance, most of them take a fiendish delight in tearing across the country-side in search of insects. I have seen many of their unhappv victims pinned to their doom in huge collection boxes. An accumulation of fifty is handsomely rewarded with a high grading from their instructor. Others of them spend a great deal of time delving into matters that deal with the antiquity of things and keep loose leaf notebooks containing data thereof. A small and decidedly select group spends many hours investigating the military maneuvers of one, Gaius Julius Caesar. Notwithstanding these eccentricities they are quite a civilized lot and are all making preparations to migrate the first Monday of next September to a “land of greater opportunities.” Page Eighteen CLASS OF 1933 First Roic—Donald Schaefer, George Sanders.

' So crowding into a Chandler which was driven by a little Schaefer they started out. Behind them came Josephine with the Klinks and the clanks of the Leaping Lena. They found the place quite delightful. Sweet Williams grew in great profusion on the Hill-side. The Russell of leaves, the sparkling Shrout in the Brooks, the billowy White clouds, the colorful woodland Hughes, all lent a Holaday spirit to the place. The Fairy Land folk came out to greet them. Some were Moody, others Mary, still others in Ernest, and a few of them Frank. A sight-seeing tour of the city followed. Mother Hubbard, Jack Sprat, Felix, the cat, Billie, the goat, An-na Harry Lyon feasted them quite royally on chile con Carney, Clark bars, and baby Ruths before they started back.

Ode to the Freshman ( With apologies to Whittier) Blessings on thee, clear freshman. Soon you’ll be a high class-man; And look back with many a sigh At the way those clays did fly— W hen you had more than money could buy! Gently, then, my dear freshman, Live and laugh as freshmen can: All too soon your smile you’ll hide To be a senior, dignified. Ah ! that thou couldst know thy bliss Ere it passes on to this!

Georgetown opened her 19.10 season with fair prospects but some doubt as to how the scores would go. hen the last game had been played, the fans felt that another stellar team had passed into historv. One point, made by Decatur on a technicality, was all that stood between them and a clear record. Although this and the scoreless game with Westville kept them from quite equalling the 1929 success, still a school has just reason to be proud of two successive teams which attain such a high standard. The team is hard hit by graduation, losing six men as good as the state can produce, but the second team showed some especially good material this ear. It is hoped that these boys will be ready next tall to step into the empty places to produce a team ready to play the exceptionally hard schedule arranged for next year. 1930 SCHEDULE Georgetown 6—Decatur 7. Georgetown 13—Sidell 0. Georgetown 21—Jasonville 0. Georgetown 27—Bicknell 0. Georgetown 32—Xokomis 0 Georgetown 13—Hoopeston 6. Georgetown 27—Villa Grove 0. Georgetown 0—Westville 0. Page Twenty-five Hr LA CAJA DEL ORO 1930— G” Men—1930 J. Gorman—“Joe”—Back—A senior who staged a comeback after seeing America first. Joe was at his best when the going was toughest. This boy is the fellow who changed tackling from “silents” to “talkies.” L. Erickson—“Lief”—Back—Always outweighed but seldom outplayed. Lightest back in the county, but any one who saw him in there would tell you that a small man can play great ball. F. Maskkl—“Awky”—Back—A junior in classes but plays ball like a post-graduate. He would be a wonder if he were not so bashful that he hates to score touchdowns for fear of being called on for a speech. D. Mahoney-—“Danny”—Back—The “crooning” halfback—has another vear to play. here the going got tough Danny started to croon an old Irish ballad which upset the harmony among opponents. T. Hubbard—“lhubbard”—Center—A sophomore boy with the old fighting spirit. as “sub” center only because he was trying to fill the shoes of an all state man. J. Cebui.sky—“Johnny”—End—The midget end of the county. Digs coal and spoils interference with the same zest. We hope he grows. T. Stropus— I ony”—1 ackle—One more year to go and much is expected of him in that year. It is our belief that when better “blocks” are made, Tony will make them. A. Klink— Heinie”—Guard—This boy is only a sophomore and he’s big and has a fine spirit. With two more years to go, we predict that fans will have seen few better linemen. W. Velikis—“Eat”—Guard—Another senior and it will take a big boy to fill this fellow’s suit. Whenever opponents went through “Fat's” side of the line, it was their last conscious public appearance. C. Stasavich—“Stassy”—End—“Stassy” played guard, then tackle, and this year was moved out to end where he played his greatest game. Was at his best at Hoopeston where he “took off” on several occasions to pull in a few passes just as a matter of illustration, to the John Greer boys, as to how the position of end should be played. J. Andruski I’uzzey End— I’uzzey played left end and when opponents came his way, they soon realized they had called the wrong signal. Often late to practice but seldom late telling his mates where the ball was. B. I,EW man Bob Guard—A big, lean, lanky corn-fed boy who has one more year to go and is expected to play a lot of ball next year. Page Tivcr.ty-six p0MMM HANEY CRUM SNOOK 1930 Captain Sportsmanship Trophy Winner 1931 Captain D. Hanky—“Alabam”—Center—This boy was captain of one of the best fightin’ teams which ever played under Georgetown colors. Won a place on the All-State selection of centers which is certainly a tribute to his ability. A great strength on defense and a boy who likes the game. His loss to next year’s team will leave a great gap and all will miss his oratory. K. Crum—“Red”—Tackle—Another boy who will be missed from next year's line-up. Crum played guard for two years and this year moved over to left tackle, the toughest assignment on a ball club, and played it with the same success. A hard, fast charging lineman with the ability to block punts with pleasing regularity. Won the sportsmanship trophy which speaks for his personality. E. Snook—“Pinochle”—Back—This boy is next year’s captain. He s big, fast, throws passes with the speed and accuracy of bullets, and has the fighting spirit so necessary in a ball game. He carried the brunt of this year s offense, carrying the ball about seven out of even- ten plays. Besides outplaying the great Rex of Decatur, it is rumored that he holds some swell hands at pinochle, and is quite an after dinner speaker. THE COACHES Coach Sweeley has this year completed his seventh year as coach at Georgetown. He is a graduate of Susquehanna university. Since he has had the actual experience of college football, he knows the hard knocks of the game and the preparation a boy needs for playing. When it comes to making blockers and tacklers, Sweeley will always stand out. Assistant Coach Burch has attended the Indiana university coaching school under Pat Page. He helps to build good quarterbacks along with his coaching of the second team. Page Twenty-seven Dear Chari.es: la caja del oro ' Um Letters From a Sweeley-Made Athlete to His Chum Well, old fellow, I’m back in school again and everything is going fine. Of course I am on the football team again this year. However, I’m afraid we can’t duplicate our success of last season, in having an unbeaten team, because we were defeated 7-6 by Decatur the first game. If it hadn’t been for Snook’s legs having a very bad charley horse, surely we would have beaten Decatur. Hoy, but it was one tough encounter. Pooshie was knocked nutty in the second quarter and Stassy and Snook had Milo, the black boy of Decatur’s team, scared or laughing all the time. Write soon, I gotta quit. So long, Speck.’’ How Are Y’a Chill: Thanks for your letter. Received it on the day of the Jasonville game and it helped sooth my nerves some. We were expecting a tough game and naturally a guy gets excited. All the worrying was for nothing though for we walloped ’em 25-0. Boy, it was so hot and dusty that day that the referee had to call time out after a tackle so that the dust could settle enough to see where the ball was. I tasted mud for days afterwards. So long, Chuck, gotta go practice F. B. Speck.” Dear Chl'ck: I’m not feeling so well now, this is Wednesday and yesterday we played Hoopeston. A great big tackle smacked me one in the bread-basket and as a result I stayed home from school today. 1 believe that that game was the hardest T ever played in. John Greer’s boys were all about evenly matched. They worked together well and altogether they were one sweet ball-club. We put the blocks to them with a 13-6 defeat, and boy, what I mean that mellie will go down in history with Gettysburg and a few other famous encounters. Ole Haney, Stas, Snook, Klink, Erickson, and, well, practically all the boys, played a bang-up game of football. They “covered themselves with glory,” so to speak. Till better football games are played, So and So. CHARLES A. DAVIS, WEST HEATON, ILL.: WESTVILLE GAME PLAYED SATURDAY STOP FIELD SLIPPERY STOP NOT ENOUGH PUNCH STOP SCORE 0-0 STOP Speck. Charlie Old Boy: Well, football’s done for another year, and last night they gave us the annual feed. Pat Page, coach at Indiana U., was the principal speaker. He seemed to know his subject, football, pretty well, even if he wasn’t any golden voiced orator. Sweeley presented the letters and gave a short talk extolling the virtues of each player. Haney gave a speech. Elmo, next year’s captain, gave a speech upon the teams possibilities in ’31, and that talk will go down in history along with Lincoln’s Gettysburg address. Crum was presented with the Sportsmanship trophy. The food was very good with the exception of the beans and everyone went home satisfied. Write you again some other football season. So and So. Page Twenty-eight ; i|i LA CAJA DEL ORO §g SECOND TEAM’S SEASON A schedule of live games was played by the seconds this year with four wins, one loss, a broken nose, and lots of experience as a result. From this group of reserve material, it is hoped that some high class performers can be developed for next year’s team. For the past few years it has been a practice to play a second team schedule in order that boys who could not get into first team games might get playing experience. Eight games were on the schedule for this year but three games were can celled, much to the regret of boys. The principal reason for these games is not necessarily to win, altho winning is not unpleasant, but to provide an opportunity for the green material to get some seasoning. Seniors are eliminated from the squad because they would not be available for the next year’s team and all the attention is given to boys who have one year or more to go. It is the belief of Mr. Sweeley that in order to have a good team next year one must plan for that team in advance. This idea seems to be working out with considerable success.

Only two boys on this year’s varsity have never p 1 a y e d as seconds, having made the first team their first year out for football. Those are the exceptions. No letters or numerals nor recognition of any kind is given these boys who stay out all year and go through the monotony of taking a good bruising every evening from the first team. It certainly is commendable to find thirty or forty boys willing to work the entire season when they know there is no chance of their getting to play on the first team. This is just the spirit that makes Georgetown teams mighty tough to beat every year. Eight games have been lined up for next year’s second team. Gatlin, Indianola, Westville, and Ridgefarm will be played, two games each, with Hoopeston a possibility to fill out a nine game schedule. Every boy who reports for practice next fall will be given a chance to display his ability in a game if he stays throughout the season.

Elmo Snook—“Pinochle”—Guard—Fast, aggressive, and developed into a good guard but was too bashful to shoot baskets. Clarence Stasavich—“Clem”—Center—A scrappy floor man. Good defensive player on rebounds but hard on bank boards. Bernard Thompson—“Cannon Ball”—Guard—Caused referees to take time out for whistle repairs. Could commit more fouls in one quarter than any opponent met. William Parke—“Bill”—Forward—Got more shots than all the rest of the boys but hit fewer. Made considerable yardage with his long runs down sidelines. Felix Gonsowski—“Runt”—Forward—The midget man of the squad, only a sub but will develop in time.

Don Sweeley laid down a very successful basketball record during the 1930 and ’31 season, winning twelve and losing ten games which is a very good percentage. The record that was made in tournaments this year was better than it has been for some time as the team won fourth place in the county preliminary and second place in the Sidell invitational meet. Although the team lost its first game in the district tourney, the defeat was administered by Chris-man, the team which won second in the meet. The season was also satisfactory in that the Georgetown people showed much enthusiasm and good spirit and that’s what makes for success in any line of athletics. The school is hoping that the basketball spirit will keep up to a good standard so that Georgetown’s team may hold its own in competition with other county teams. The team was not struck very hard by graduation, only two men being lost. Stasavich, being a mid-year entrant, finished his fourth year at the end of the first semester. Byerley, the other 1931 basketball man. will be missed as a guard. Next year’s squad should prove very successful and gather in a good number of trophies at the various tournaments in the section. Some especially good material is promised from the freshman class.

The Interclass Tournament Interclass basketball has been a custom around Georgetown High since 1925, when Coach Sweeley started the tournament for the purpose of increasing the interest in basketball among the boys, and uncovering someone with ability for the squad. A girls’ tournament was included to increase the interest in girls’ physical education. This has certainly been a success, if one judges success by the noise created. The gate receipts, from the tournament games, are used to purchase numerals for the winners of the tournament and G’s for the outstanding players. The tournament was a success this year both in the pleasure it afforded the contestants, and the pleasing turnout for the games. The teams, both girls and boys, were pretty evenly matched, and they fought hard, as evidenced by the three way tie among the boys, and the screaming and hair pulling that went on during the girls’ games. The boys played their tie off, the freshmen beating both the juniors and seniors. The latter have hardly recovered their dignity yet, much to the satisfaction of Ikey’s proteges. The boys’ games discovered some future Georgetown high school basketball stars. Those clever freshmen under the tutelage of I. K. Burch developed into a sweet little ball club. This team played a number of games with the second teams of other schools in which they showed their ability at floor work and basket throwing. In some of the second team games they took turns with Georgetown’s seconds in meeting the opponents and held their men equally as well as the regular seconds. They were given numerals at the end of the season. Some of the men who showed up especially well in the class tournaments were Paradiso, Baldwin, Stimac, Payne, Emory, Strader, and Brooks.

The Girl’s Basketball Tournament For tiie first time in many years the freshman team won the class tournament. The first game with the seniors was a tie. In their games with the juniors and sophomores the freshmen easily won due to their excellent team work. Cassandra Parke was an able captain and scored the majority ot the points for her team. Mary Mahoney, a lively guard, did her bit as manager of the team. With the start as ciass champions much can be expected oi this team in the next three years. Other members of the winning team were Jennie Stasavich. Mary Anuzis, Frances Tanzey, Anna Lopinski, Elizabeth Morgan, Edwina Morgan, Thelma Cook, June Crowder, and Frances Bradouski. 'Phe response to the call for basketball players at the beginning of the 1930- 31 season showed that the spirit ot previous years was not to be lessened this year. Each class team played with much vigor and pep. 1 he sophomores were well represented with nine players. I hese girls were Lena ettorel. Josephine Commarata, Ives Ward, Reva Hawkins, Irene Lyons, Emily Lou Haney, Anna Shelako, Imogene Byerley, and Erschel Hughes. The junior team consisted of Lois Almy, Jean Cunningham, Elizabeth Warner, Helen Morgan, Helen Girdaskas, and Mary Rock. I here were just enough senior girls who came out to make a team. I hey had an unusual record as they neither lost or won a game. These girls were Oleta Morris, W innifred I bird, Jean Almy, Lois Emory, Mary Edith Allen, and Anna Bradouski. Page Thirty-three LA CAJA DEL ORO GIRL’S SOCCER SEASON Much enthusiasm was shown in the girls’ soccer games which were played in the early part of the year. As the gym classes were so large, they had to be divided into three sections. Each section made up a soccer team, and the girls selected appropriate names for these. The “Ritzy Athletes” and the Rip Roarers were composed of freshman girls, while the “Hot Shots” were sophomores. 1 he soccer season ended with the “Rip Roarers” as the victors. They were undefeated in every game played. Letters were given to the girls showing the best sportsmanship in the games. Jean Cunningham was the only junior playing on the team. Three sophomore girls were picked for the all-star team. The line-up for the honor team is as follows: Anna Lopinski, right end: Alfrieda Kinney, right center; Cassandra Parke, center; Mary Mahonev, left center; Josephine Commarata, left end; Imogene Byerley, right’halfback ;’Catherine Morris, center halfback; Isabelle Morris, left halfback; Venie Smith, right fullback; Jean Cunningham, left fullback; Erschel Hughes, goal kick. SPRING ATHLETICS Prospects for the track season for 1931 look favorable. Some of the people whom Georgetown expects to turn in points this year are Dan Mahoney in the low hurdles and pole vault, Ralph Lewman in the mile, Robert Readnour in the dashes, John Stimac in the javelin throw, and Elmo Snook in the discus hurl and shot put.

It sounds exciting. Garnet: It was. There was the most beautiful scenery, too. The manual training department made it. The first act took place in the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Ross, the second act in a gypsy camp, and the last at the fabled city of Cen-turia. which was supposed to appear one day each hundred years. Elizabeth: Who fell in love? Garnet: Oh, you would ask that. ell, I’ll tell you. Konrad was the hero. He was born of gypsy parents and adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Ross. Konrad thought only of playing his violin and as he grew older he felt the call of gypsy life. A gypsy girl, Zara, from a near-by gypsy camp urged him to go with them. Laurie ork was broken-hearted to see him leave, because she loved him. Zara was really only after the money which had been given him by his foster parents, although she professed to love him. Konrad fell asleep in the gypsy camp and dreamed that he tell in love with Zara and had to win her from her gvpsy sweetheart. Stan. In the end Konrad awakened to find his money gone and the camp deserted. Laura found him. and Konrad, having become aware of what had hap pened, declared his love for her. Stella restored Konrad’s money to him, having taken it away from Rodney, whom she found playing with it. Rodney was the village half-wit. Elizabeth: Konrad surely had some experience, and he should thank Rodney for taking the money in the first place. Garnet: Oh, he did. Still it was the only time Rodney ever did anyone a good turn. He was a most generous soul, willing to sell the village post office for a nickel and thought he was rich with only a bag of pennies. Elizabeth : What did Stella do? Garnet: She was the cook, and Rodney just loved to tease her. Elizabeth: I wish I could have come, but 1 had to stay at home and get up that civics notebook.

The Purple and White The objective of the staff in editing the Purple and White for the season of 1930-1931 was to publish a paper that would appeal to the faculty and student body and to make the paper excel all issues of former years. The omens of success for the paper were not very good at first on-account-of the poor circulation. However, the staff is proud of the progress that they have made toward editing a benevolent paper. The paper has achieved the progress that it has made through getting advertisements and obtaining news that pertained to incidents and happenings at school and that was interesting to the students. The paper was entered in the Illinois State High School Press Association contest held at Champaign and was very fortunate, being the only paper in Vermilion county, excepting Danville, to receive a certificate of distinguished rating. As a whole, the Purple and White has enjoyed a very prosperous and auspicious year. Francis Binkley was chosen as editor this year and has had the general supervision of the paper. Joseph Henry has filled the place of news editor in a very creditable way. These two represented the staff at the annual state meeting at Urbana.

The Senior Year Book Surely one could never be mistaken in guessing that this intelligent looking group of students composed the staff of the senior yearbook. Due to the industrial depression on which everything is blamed, the class agreed to put out this year a smaller book with less expensive cover. 1 hrough the hard work of the staff, the material ordinarily contained in one hundred twenty pages has been condensed into eighty pages and we defy you to find anything of importance omitted. Patjc Forty-one I A rAlA r r—i r -N LA CAJA DEL ORO FUTURE FARMERS OK AMERICA The Ag. Club 1 he I'. P. A. organization planned this year to have one regular evening meeting each month to care for the social and instructive points in their program. These were planned for the evenings because afternoon meetings do not permit the attendance of athletes. Besides these programs the club has been responsible for a number of activities which have been of great value to the community and the school. Last spring these boys in cooperation with Mrs. Mareece Miller Graves took care of the landscaping around the new building thus saving the school something near three hundred and fifty dollars. The pig club, an auxiliary club of the F. F. A., had a very successful year last year and gives promise of even more prosperous projects this year. Francis Binkley made a profit of $225 on his project last year and made a good showing in Vermilion County 4-H shows. William l loladay had the grand champion gilt of this show. Because of the success of the boys in the Chevrolet contest last summer, the Ag club has been able to finance boys who need help this year. This has made it possible for a number to make an excellent start in the pig business. Another project of the agriculture boys which has been of benefit to the community was the seed testing service which they carried on last spring. By testing corn, oats, and beans they probably saved the farmers much loss from poor seed. As rewards for their project work and because of their entertaining ability, some of the boys have been called upon to give and assist in giving several good radio programs. Georgetown has been represented also in the state and district judging contests by very successful teams. OFFICERS President............................. Vice President........................

Georgetown edited the third page, which appeared November 9. The staff decided to make the page one of features and general news similar to the type published on the first page of the second section of a Sunday paper. The staff was composed of June Hoth, Jean Almy, Winnifred Burd, Donald Haney, Kenneth Crum, Dan Mahoney, Helen Morgan, Francis Binkley, Joseph Henry, Lois Emory, Anna Lee Mitchell, Lois Almy, and Jean Cunningham.

The play chosen this year is “Skidding,” by Aurania Rouverol, with a setting in Idaho. As this is a comparatively new play and modern in thought, it is hoped that it will be appreciated by the audience.

The senior class cleared about one hundred dollars from this event. 1 lie Literary club and the Girls Glee club gave performances upstairs. 1 he first attraction was a Spanish scene while the second was a minstrel. All classes and prominent clubs carried out some booth or amusement for the carnival and everyone had loads of fun. Several merchants gave contributions to be used as prizes. PUBLIC SPEAKING Contestants who were to represent Georgetown in the annual county speaking contests were chosen at a school contest held April 2. In the group of serious declamation those who remained in the contest until the preliminaries were held were Mary Edith Allen, speaking “Pauline Pavlovna ; Alma Warren giving “The Old Settler's Story”; Elizabeth Bennett giving “Folly-anna”; and Irma Mae Biava speaking “The Wheels of Time.” In the school finals Mary Edith was selected to represent the school. In the humorous section those speaking and their readings were: Elizabeth Ramev, “China Blue Eyes”; Mildred Hinton, “The School Program”; Ada Belle Tones, “A Life on the' Ocean Wave”; Edwina Morgan, “At the Shoe Sale”; Reva Hawkins, “The Reducing Game”; Catherine Morris. “The Back-Seat Driver”; Helen Vincent, “An Automobile Ride.” In this section Ada Belle was chosen to speak. Winnifred Burd was the only entrant in oration, giving 1 he Failure of Success.” In the extemporaneous group there were three contestants; William W hite, Francis Binkley, and Paul Ward. W illiam was selected to speak in the district contest. This contest will be held at Ridgefarm and the county contest at Rankin. Miss Criswell and Mrs. Thomas trained the people for the contest. Page Forty seven An account of the past year would not be complete without a word about the assembly programs that have been given in G. H. S. One bright Wednesday morning, Dean Thomas Arkle Clark of the University of Illinois stepped .upon the stage and gave us a few facts about the life of Vergil, in honor of the two thousandth anniversary of his birth. A wonderful man was Vergil, according to Dean Clark’s speech. One of the great acts of his life has been to make people wear out a few hundred dictionaries, just to get an education. Another day, Dr. Ross, a physician from Danville, gave us instructions on the proper way to breathe. He said you shouldn’t go 1-2-3-mpf-f but mpf-f-f 2-3-4. He also gave instructions on the proper method of walking. From that day to this, Maxwell Jones’ posture has been marvelously improved. Mr. Black occupied one of our periods talking on the subject of “alibis.” His definition takes in a large range—“an endeavor to remove the blame; an excuse for neglect of duty: a plea that one was at another place at the time the act was committed; an admission that one was not all there.” That last one is probably the most used. Larkin A. 1 uggle, superintendent of schools of Vermilion county, gave us a very interesting account one Wednesday of his life as a boy. He also gave three rules for attaining success. They were “Make friends,” “Be a good listener” and “Join some good organizations.” A group of students from Olivet College entertained us one week with a program of violin, piano, vocal, and trombone solos. Mr. Roberts, pastor of the Methodist Church, also gave a talk on “Where do you live?” He emphasized the fact that you do not merely live in your own home. A short time before the birthday of Lincoln, Mr. Black gave us a talk on the character of that great man. One of his points was the fact that Lincoln’s Secretary of War, Mr. Stanton, hated Lincoln and one day called him a fool. Mr. Lincoln was told of this by a friend. In reply Lincoln said, “He is a man who knows what he is talking about.” There is one quality that must be attributed to Mr. Black. He demonstrates everything bv a story and most of them are exceptionally good ones. One of the most versatile performers who has appeared before the assembly was Mr. Mayo, a pastor from Danville. Besides playing the piano and harmonica at the same time, he demonstrated his ability to play the piano with his nose, and before doing this, he tuned it! He entertained the group with a selection on the violin and harmonica together. Reverend Keenan also gave a little talk the same day which was much appreciated by the student body. The programs of the second semester can not be fully reported because of the date at which copy goes to press but a word should be said about the faculty program. This important event finally took place on the afternoon of March 27. Mr. Almy was in charge of the affair and, acting as teacher of a village school, i uled over a motely array ot pupils. Little Lord hauntleroy in yellow curls was none other than the principal himself. Miss Henderson became a lady of color and even did a cake walk. All the faculty appeared sans dignitv and Mr. Murphv even sans shoes. ' ' ' Page Forty-eight mmmxi LA CAJA DEL ORO THE PERFECT MAN Height of Kenneth Clark. Weight of “Fat” Velikis.

Absence makes the marks grow rounder. Girls, spend all the spare time that you can find in class in primping. All male instructors love to see girls particular about their appearance. Above all don’t study. What man adores a woman book-worm ? Chew gum while in classes. One seems to be more interested in his class subjects if he can chew gum. And you know teachers tell us we need lots of exercise. When answering questions in class never take time to explain why. “Uh-huh” or “Huh-uh” or “Dunno” will be sufficient. Teachers like for you to be brief. “Brevity is the soul of . if wit. we’en party??? —Maxwell’s curly hair? O Boy! —Stasy and his dictionary ?

Pupil: “Did you ever get any of your childhood wishes?” Almy: “Yes, I used to wish when my mother combed my hair that I was bald-headed.” Kenneth Gookin— (looking through lens at a quarter)—Hey, look I can make a quarter look like fifty cents!

Dear Mr. Snook: It has become necessary to inform you that the conduct of your son, Elmo, is so unsatisfactory that the faculty and board find it their duty to object. He takes too great an interest in activities and not enough in his studies. He has earned much renown as a marble player and is an expert in pinochle, often being called the “pinochle king.” He also was a fairy dancer in the May Fete last year. However, his marks show such decline that we feel something should be done. Yours truly, Ward N. Black. 1 )ear M r. Black : I heartily agree that you are right and have taken the matter up with my son. He has agreed to give up hi's studies and practice more on his activities. Yours truly, Mr. Mark Snook. THE DOWNFALL OF OUR EGOIST “Bam ” Haney always thought Whi le in school he was a “big shot” But he found one day Much to his dismay He didn’t amount to an awful lot. There was a young lady named Doris For kissing she had an abhorrence. One night she got kissed And saw what she’d missed, And her tears trickled down in great torrents. Dick—Joe, did you find vour two-bits ? Joe G.—No, but Art did. Dick—Then what’re you lookin’ for now ? Joe G.—I’m lookin’ for Art. Awk Maskel—There’s one good thing about being bow-legged. Felix—What’s that? “Awk”—They can’t accuse me of being knock-kneed. SLOW MOTION PICTURE Maxwell Jones was very glad, A difficult time in school he’d had, For six full years he’d served his turn Though for freedom he did yearn, Now from his hands his books have passed, And lie’s to be freed from school at last. Lois—I don’t kiss men. Bob—Oh, that’s all right. I’m only a boy. Have you ever seen Binkley with his hair combed? Or George Sanders with his hair mussed ? Bill White: “Going to the fair?” Leo Savage: “What fair?” Bill: “Didn’t you see the paper; fair, today and tomorrow?” Grandma says girls of today are always in hot water and they’re not washing dishes either.

The warriors were heavily armed with sleds. Hut the sleds were early discarded for the heavier and more effective toboggans. Using these as transports they advanced rapidly down the hill. They were checked in their progress by Commanders Bush and Branch in charge of General Snowdrifts. In the charge Captain Criswell was struck from behind by one of the heavy toboggans and carried far into the forces of Mr. Branch. Soon, however, Criswell’s battalion was decidedly the greater army and had the other under its control. The forces retreated to the hottest fire and even enjoyed it. The victors after sacking the stronghold returned with the spoils of battle at about 10:30. MARGARET S. NORTON Ready-to-Wear — Millinery DANVILLE, ILL. THE WEST A Sonnet by Dan Mahoney I like to read the stories of the west Where cowboys sit upon their ponies lleet. In rugged clothes I picture them as dressed With silver mounted spurs upon their feet. These men can shoot their guns with either hand For they’ve been trained to do it from the start. One man’s been known to rout a ruffian band And often shoots them squarely through the heart. They’re noted for their gentle kindly ways Especially where the women are concerned. They spend the money that they draw paydays It is as if their pockets it had burned. So sitting here I’m hoping for the best, When I can punch cows in the golden west. M. J.
