Basket Ball Banquet On March 22nd, 1911, the Senior Class, together with the basketball team and coach, Mr. Howe, and four members of the faculty, met in the High School Gymnasium. The occasion was a banquet given by the Senior Class in honor of the boys who made our school the first in basket ball in Southern Illinois and third in the State. The merry crowd assembled in the gymnasium, which was decorated in black and red, the High School colors, where games were played and a short program was rendered. They then adjourned to the dining room, which was decorated in the Senior colors, lavender and maize, where a delightful luncheon was served. At a late hour all departed, voting the Seniors royal entertainers. L. P. 28

Trip To Piasa FTER school was dismissed for the summer months and finals forgotten, the class of ' 10 got together and picked out one rainy day in June and invited the class of ' ll to go with them to Piasa Chautauqua. The girls, of course, took the good things, and in spite of the weather, everyone had a good time. Of course we have to take into consideration that Rosa became rambunctious” and rolled down a bluff. She was not hurt, but carried home with her some of Piasa’s rich soil. Mayme Bramer had a mania for taking pictures, and although the weather was so bad, quite a number turned out good. Little Roy Huff enjoyed himself immensely by going up a bluff and sliding down. Diddy Pick and Skinny Lynch became acquainted with the keeper at the “Inn” and spent a very pleasant afternoon by the fire. And Ken- dall was on every bluff anti in every cottage of the grounds, looking for Diddy. Bessie stayed as near the lunch as possible. I don ' t know, I guess she was afraid it would get away. Anyway, it was a most successful day, and the class of ’ll could never tell in plain words how much they enjoyed it. BLANK — “A little foot never supported a great character.” 27

Reception at Miss Randall’s One Saturday in March the German Classes met together and boarded a car for Alton to spend the afternoon with Miss Randall. A splendid pro- gram was arranged, talent being taken from the different German Classes. German songs were sung and various interesting games were played. A delightful luncheon was served, after which the students departed for their homes. As all the students do not take German, Miss Randall invited the English Classes to visit her, so that all the High School students might have the opportunity to visit her home. The English students were not quite so fortunate as the German classes, as the day was very stormy, but in spite of this there was a splendid crowd and every one had a delightful time. One of the important features of the afternoon was several scenes from Twelfth N’ight, the characters being made up of the English students and coached by Miss Randall. The one thing most enjoyed by all was, after it cleared up they were allowed to pick lilies of the valley from Miss Randall’s yard. The luncheon served was dainty and enjoyed by all. 29
