Dale the principal was with , , , f us during the four years of our high scho l o career. He devoted much time to the establishment of rules which would make our school life harmon- ious. He urged co-operation of the faculty and students. His ability to give advice to the students was chiefiy due to the fact that he knew and understood young people. Mr. Dale did every- thing in his power to help us visualize the future more clearly that we might grasp the educational advantages of a high school education. He did much toward promoting the social, intellectual, and moral standards of our school. By these qualities Mr. Dale proved himself worthy of the great task assigned him. We, the class of 1927, exte d ' ' ' ' ' n oui appieciation and best wishes for his success in the future. ,si ?u1 .ef ? -2? gl, use f I K ,, A il? f' 1 ' ,A 551' -ai! f Mae Blair, B. E. C. F.

Each heart was throbbing quickly, Each ear was strained to hear, Each flighty head was quiet And feelings in high gear.

The purpose of the club is to further the interest of agricul- ture in the community. Monthly meetings are held at which problems of the day are discussed. The club sponsors the County Club Show held each fall, and the father and son banquet. The club officers are Wayne Gibson, presidentg Robert Golden, secretary and treasurer. R. ' . Qllf ,1- -i f' r.

The Agriculture course requires that each student take some project in that branch of the subject in which he is most interestedg or in place of the individual project a single enterprise may be taken by the entire class. Two members of the class are hired by the club to act as herdsmen and are on regular duty caring for the cows and delivering milk. The remaining members take turns in mixing feeds and doing other work connected with the project. At the close of school last year the project was sold to eight members of this year's class. The cows were cared for and the milk route maintained during the summer by one of the members. The club now has fifteen mem- bers and owns six cows. The proceeds of the club, after all feed cost, labor and other expenses are paid, are divided equally between the share- holders. A ? ' W ' xNX.N.

Mr. Hollopeter Director of Athletics Mr. Hollopeter, a native of Fort Wayne, Indiana and a graduate of the coaching school of the University of Illinois, came to Flora in the fall of 1925 as athletic coach. During the past two years Coach Hollopeter has been a whole hearted promoter of athletics, whose interest and untir- ing work have made the record of victories of which we are so proud. J ' W..-3. X Q. .-9:2 -,,,,f- 'L'-?n'7i - .., . , RETROSPECT AND PROSPECT ln glancing back over theyears of athletic performances one would say that it has been a success. In interscholastic games the teams have won far more games than they have lost but success cannot be determined in that way. Loyalty, fair play, co-operation, self sacrifice, and true sports- manship are the fundamentals of the Hght which the Varsity teams have displayed. Personal grievances are forgotten on the Athletic field and in their place comes a desire to play the game fair and match speed and skill with that of the opponents. This High School has bright prospects for the future. The Freshman and Sophomore stars of this year will develop during the coming year. The football team should be much better next year even though they were conference champions this year. Basketball and track are building for success. Now is it entirely by pe1'sonal efforts that the teams have been suc- cessful? The spirit of the fans have helped in winning the games. Flora fans are hard losers but they are really the best type of fans because they are also the best winners. With the future loyalty of the fans and a con- tinuation of the fighting and unconquerable team spirit, Flora High School will be among the leaders in Athletic endeavor.-Coach llollopeter.

Captain Smith or Hiram as he was gener- ally known was one of the few letter men from last year. He was a good leader, being on the go all the time, especially when pep was needed to encourage his team-mates. Although he was not placed on the All-Star teams, he was given honor- able mention by several coaches. He has one more year. Windle - End. Weight 145. Captain Elect '27 was one of the grittiest fellows on the squad. He was equally good at tackling and interference. When it came to running down punts Tommy was there to stop the opponent in his tracks. Windle was placed on the Conference eleven. Knowles--Halfback. Weight 140. His brilliant work indicated that he was well fitted for his position. Whenever his inumber was called he usually plunged through the line like a bullet, making great gains and leaving the majority of the opponents strewn' on the ground behind him. Some had advantage over 'tKnocko in weight, but this was made up by his speed. He was chosen Captain and Quarter- back of the Conference All-Star team.

In every game he was de- fensively immovable, as opposing teams found out. This was his first year of football and he developed into one of the best men on the squad. He is one of the graduating F men. Ames-Tackle. Weight 170. Ames at tackle was another standby. There wasn't a better one. In every game he was de- fensively immovable, as oppos-- ing teams soon found out. He was placed on the Conference eleven this year. We will ex- pect great work from him in his next two years. Zimmerman-Guard. Weight 163. Without a doubt Barney was one of the best guards that ever wore an Orange and Blue uniform. He played his usual bang-up game with great consistency. He was a stonewall on defense and a wonderful battering ram in opening holes in his opponent's line. Barney's loss will be greatly felt when it .comes to getting another man who can duplicate his feats on the gridiron.

Eli performed the dif- ficult job of steering the squad through a hard schedule with the generalship of a veteran. He showed flashes of running ability throughout the year that was brilliant. He was one of the most active men in the backfield. Hunley-Halfback. Weight 140. Jess was one of the boys who hailed from Clay City. Al- though this was his first year in football he played all the posi- tions like a veteran. He was a man who neverhwas found sleep- ing at his post. Gibson-Guard. Weight 160. Big Munn.

When Spot hit the line, something was sure to give way and it was usually the other fellow. He played a terrific game and his line plunging tactics were most effective.

The two teams fought on even terms for the entire first quarter but the second quarter saw Flora slightly gaining the edge, and finally succeeded in scoring a touchdown after recovering a blocked punt. In the second half Coach Hollopeter sent the second team into the scrim- mage and they su'cceeded in holding Carlyle until late in the fourth period when Carlyle resorted to an aerial attack. Flora's first team then replaced the second team for the closing minutes of the game. Flora 'I Carlyle 0. SALEM Our second game was played at Salem after several weeks of practice. Flora started the game by kicking off to Salem. The teams seemed evenly matched for a few minutes but in the first quarter Maxwell went over for the first touchdown. In the second quarter Flora opened up her aerial attack, completing four passes which placed the ball within a few yards of S the goal line and on the fourth down, Knowles went over for the second touchdown. The second team backfield replaced the regular backfield for a few minutes, but the regulars were soon returned to their places. Spar- lin and Knowles began to penetrate Salem's line at will and soon Knowles went over for the third touchdown. Then Coach Hollopeter sent in the second team for the remaining few minutes of the game. CARMI The game with Carmi was decidedly harder than that with Salem. This was the view of the players and coach. The Carmi team was report- ed to be strong. The teams which Carmi turned out in previous years made the Flora teams hustle. The playing of both teams was not up to' standard, but after a few minutes, Flora's fighting spirit made its appear- ance and Flora marched down the field for a touchdown. The second quarter saw both teams fighting harder than ever but Flora scoring a touchdown before the half ended. The second half opened with several changes in the Carmi lineup. This combination succeeded in holding the Flora team until late in the fourth quarter when Mack blocked a punt which enabled Maxwell to carry the ball over the goal line for his second touzhdown. The second team was substituted at thls stage of -the game and they carried the ball close enough for Venable to drop kick a goal Flora 23. Carmi 0. I ZA S '-:iff-5 CX? . K K, 1 X , 1, xx. K 94 1 '.

PANA Flora was again representing the type of Football played in Southern Illinois' to theCentral part of the state in this game. Pana was winning her games and so was Flora 5 therefore one of the teams was due for a set- back. In the first quarter Pana succeeded in putting over two touchdowns while Flora was held scoreless. The half ended with the score 13 to 0 in Pana's favor. The third quarter started with the Flora team slightly hold- ing the edge and this made the team fight the hardest battle of the year yet they were unable to score. Panafsucceded in making another touchdown in the fourth quarter of the game. Score Pana 19 Flora O. FAIRFIELD The game with Fairfield was considered a hard one because they had defeated the strong Olney 'team several weeks before. This game was played beforeva large Homecoming crowd. The outcome of this game would probably -decide the championship of the Southeastern Illinois Con- ference. The first quarter saw Flora stop Martin the Fairfield star who was supposed to be the best halfback in this section. The two teams set- tled down totreal Football in the second quarter and neither team could make a first downfiagainst each other. The half ended O to 0. The second half saw both :teams begin the fight with renewed vigor. Flora succeeded in carrying the ball close enough for Knowles to make a place kick which fell shorta few feet. The fourth quarter saw Knowles carry the ball through the Fairfield -team fort'-a 440. yard gain. Knowles again tried to place kick but the ball fell short. In the last three minutes of play Fairfield recovered a fumble and tried a place kick but they were unsuccessful. The two teams were fighting furiously as the game ended with a score of 0 to 0. BRIDGEPORT The Bridgeport Football team has always been a strong contender for the Championship of Southern Illinois and for this reason Flora expect- ed a hard foughtbattle. The game was played on Friday afternoon and the usual large crowd was missing. The game started with Knowles kick- ing oif. The first half was a see-saw up and down the field Flora just half a shade better. The second halfi opened- with Flora double timing down the field which ended with Knowles carrying the ball over for the first touchdown. The next quarter Knowles carried the ball across the goal line twice in four minutes. The second team was substituted in the fourth quarter andlon the third play Fitch eluded the e'n9t3ire'Boridrgeport team for the fourth touchdown. ,Flora kicked off and beganfa march down the field which ended with Sparlin making Hanother and the final touchdown.

CENTRALIA If Flora won this game they would have been Champions of Southern Illinois. The first half ended in Centralia's favorg in the second half Flora's second team was substituted and they not only distinguished themselves by holding Centralia scorelesslbut also by making many long gains. Centralia 26 Flora 6. MT. VERNON Flora journeyed to Mt. Vernon with the expectations of a hard game -for our second team. The second team boys displayed some of their mettle by keeping Mt. Vernon from scoring while they put over a touch- down. In thelast thirty seconds the first team were given a chance. On the first play, Knowles, halfback, ran 85 yards for a touchdown. Thus, the game ended victorious for Flora 12 to O. ALBION The Albion game has never been taken very seriously by the fans and for that reason very few people witnessed this particular game. The game was played on a muddy field which made the ball very hard to handle. The Flora team used deceptive plays whichtso bewildered Albion that Flora accumulated 32 points. Flora 32 Albion 0. OLNEY If you were to ask some of the H. S. T. H. S. graduates what game they wanted to see, they would invariably say the Olney gameg likewise if a player was asked which game, he would say the Olney game. Flora proved they had the best team in the Conference by scoring 18 points and holding the heavy Olney eleven scoreless. The most important events of the game were the gains by Knowles. His first touchdown came from mak- ing a 20 yard run. His second was made on a run of five yards, and on a run he broke through the line and ran 50 yards. Olney at no time threatened to score. The game was played in a sea of mud. Flora 18 Olney 0 SCHEDULE 1927 Oct. 2 Salem Here Oct. 8 Carmi There Oct. 1.4 Bridgeport There Oct. 22 Fairfield There Nov Centralia There Nov Mt.

He has tried to lead his team of inexperienced play- ers to the best of his ability and has succeeded. He is considered a very fast forward and is re- spected by all the teams in this part of Illinois. He was selected as forward on the newspaper All- Star team at the district tournament and forward on the second All-Star team at the sectional. So long, Knocko. Dye-Guard. Loren, a Senior, was the find of the season. He hailed from Cisne and was just an ordinary player when the season started. But he developed very fast and is considered on a par with any guard now. He is fairly fast and often goes down on offense through the whole team of op- ponents for a basket. We are sorry to lose him this year. He was made guard of the district All-Star selection by the news- papers. So long, Loren. Hunley-Forward. Jesse is a Senior and hails from Clay City. 'Tis said he is the best that Clay City ever produced and we think so. Jesse has lots of endurance and when one plays center in this basket ball system he sure needs it. Jesse's main weakness is foul- ing but he tries so hard he just can't keep from it So long Jesse. XX ES -llg 7: -' 'N D7 , D 7 ir S 1 ge I ',.-L'-L. ,174-4 .:i- ':- -Ui' -R -.....

He is a bulwark on defense and can hold any flashy forward down regardless of size. He is a good shot, and generally makes his share of the baskets. In newspaper selections of All- stars for the district tourna- ment he was made guard. He will be captain of next year's team. See you next year, Hiram. WX Mack-Guard.

Albion had been going strong, winning her first three conference games. A hard game was ex- pected. Flora had been practicing for only a few nights, and for that reason Albion held the edge. The first half ended with Albion ahead 4 to 3. Flora, according to the past records, usually comes bauck strong in the second half. The boys could find the basket but the ball would not go in. Result-another conference win for Albion and a defeat that ought to have been a victory for Flora. The final score was Albion 11, Flora 9. '1'AY1.oRv11.L1-1 A The team went to Taylorville on the train. Manager Riggle had the return tickets upon his person. Somehow the coach secured them unbe- known to Paul. In order to make him more careful in the future everyone made him think that the tickets were lost. Paul was sure hot. A fake tele- gram was sent to Flora and an answer received to the effect that if Mgr. Rig- gle would sign it properly, he and ten men could have a transportation back to Flora. The conductor was put wise and the telegram received the de- sired effect much to Riggle's pleasure. Of course, Mr. Hollopeter had the tickets. Everyone had a lot of fun except Paul. He never knew the dif- ference until next day but was strutting around patting himself on the back, congratulating himself for getting the team safely back home. Everyone expected Flora to be beaten. It was a tight game. The first half ended 7 to 6 in favor of Flora. Many substitutions were made during the game. Knowles was put out of the game in the third quarter on personal fouls This made the team fight harder and th - e game ended in favor of Flora 15 to 8. Flora had an excellent defense through the entire game. The game helped Mr. Hollopeter get a line on his season's material. LAWRENCEVILLE Lawrenceville had won every conference game so far this season. Flora was not expected to win this game. Lawrenceville was ahead at the half. Flora came back the last half and played better basketball. Just as the '- ' game u as over a long shot was made to tie the score. After a half hours arguing between the fans, coaches and principals l , , p ay was finally resumed. Flora made a long shot from the center of the floor and then played the rest of the game safe. When three minutes were up, Flora was on the big end of a 19 to 17 score. 4- ,,,..fl:..-.... ,I- Mg .., 'f XL-jf X f ' A of A-ll' 525-12 -'f-'- , 'l f . Y: . W- mxmb I R fill guy:--A N,-ur MT. CARMEL The team went to Mt. Carmel on Christmas Eve with the absence of both Knowles and L. Smith, which was a great handicap. The absence of Knowles seemed to make the boys less confident in themselves. The game started with Hunley getting a setup and Flora assuming the lead which they held all the first half. Mt. Carmel showed a fast offense but were unable to hit the basket. The half ended 7 to 5 in favor of Flora. The second half started with Flora fighting just as hard as in the first half, but were unable to connect with the basket at any time during this period. Mt. Carmel was however rather lucky on some over hand shots and the game ended 22-7 in favor of Mt. Carmel. The team was cheered up a great deal, however, after the game, by a Christmas gift of a 51.50 soda ticket to each member of the squad from the N. E. Prince Drug Co. SALEM Salem always turns out a good Basket-ball team and for this reason a hard game was expected. Flora had a good lead at the half and came back with the idea to get a few more points. The final score stood Flora 26, Salem 13. The team had lots of backing from the fans as there was a large crowd from Flora who attended the game. After the showing made at Salem everyone soon forgot the defeat handed us by Mt. Carmel. FAIRFIELD Flora expected an easy game because it was the first year that Fair- field has played basketball for a long time. Flora had it all her own way the first half and the half ended 23 to 4. Flora missed numerous shots and Fairfield couldn't hit anything. In the second half Flora felt sure of the game and her defense slackened. As a result Fairfield got more points than she should have had. But they never got close enough to make it ex- tremely dangerous. The final score was 37 to 20 in favor of Flora. The scoring was lead by Hunley and Knowles with 11 and 13 points, respec- tively. SUMN ER Sumner came to Flora with a bunch of tall, rangy fellows. This was expected to be a good game. The first half was not even interesting. The total number of points Flora made against the Sumner five in the first half seemed to the fans that the game would be a walk away. Sumner came back the second half under a great handicap, because Flora had a 9-point lead. Sumner's star forward soon found his hitting eye and the lead began to dwindle. The score, with 40 seconds left to play, was Flora 17, Sumner 16. Vangilder made a long shot from the right side of the floor Just as the gun sounded. This game was not so neatly played as the preceding games Flora's defense shattered all to pieces the last half and Sumner took advantage of the situation. 1 f 4? Vx W4 0' . ',. :. :i':-ifz.

The half ended with Lawrenceville slightly in the lead. At the start. of the second half Lawrenceville started to stall. They got the ball down in their defensive end of the floor and held it and would not attempt to play bas- ket-ball. Flora just sat down in their end of the floor and both teams sat out that quarter. In the next quarter Flora made Lawrenceville play basket-ball but Lawrenceville's lead was too much. The game ended 20 to 12 in favor of Lawrenceville. One of the high lights of the game was when Tucker got turned around and attempted to make a goal for Law- renceville. Timely yells by his team-mates saved his gift to Lawrence- ville. LOUISVILLE Louisville was another team that had Flora's number. A hard game was expected. Flora had lost two games in a row and it was thought the tables would turn. Many people attended the game. The team played hard, but Louisville kept ahead of us. At the half Louisville had the edge 15 to 9. After the conference with the coach between halves most people thought the Flora boys would find a few of their mistakes and snap out of it, but they managed to get only three points the last half. The score was Louisville 21, Flora 12. TAYLORVILLE Flora had defeated Taylorville earlier in the season and so they were eager to get revenge on Flora. The game started very fast but neither team seemed able to score. Finally Knowles started the Flora Firing Squad by sinking two nice ones from the foul circle. This gave Flora a lead which was never endangered during the remainder of the game. Floral demonstrated the kind of basket-ball they were capable of playing and they handed the Taylorville boys the worst defeat they received during the season. Flora 27-Taylorville 13. BRIDGEPORT Bridgeport had not been going so good this season and the dope was that Flora would win. Flora was determined to beat Bridgeport at Bridgeport. The game was rather slow due to the smallness of both teams. The boys could not find the basket again in this game. The game ended in Bridgeport's favor 12 to 9. OLNEY In a fast game that featured beautiful floor work on the part of Cap- tain Knowles, and lucky basket shooting by Blind of Olney, Olney was able to nose out the Flora five by 6 points. The game started with both teams playing fast, as is usually the case in Flora-Olney tilts. The crowd was on its toes, and both teams were keyed high. Olney, being one of the tallest teams in Southern Illinois, was able to play over the heads of the Flora team, and keep possession of the ball most of the time. Flora. how ever. showed their ability to score when they did get hold of the ball and the defeat was by no means one to be ashamed of ' I N. a s HE-rs -- ' K f , !4agf.i..: ,. .. . I -4 T 1 ,:.-5 gif'-'iff ' ' ' 57 ' , - ..f' . 2 3' 1 Q. xwxmf STR EATOR Perhaps the most outstanding game played this season was the .Streator game. The first half ended 17 to 5 in favor of Streator probably due to the long trip and, strange floor. But chances looked more favor- able in the second half when the shooting star, Harold Smith began caging' long shots. Harold was not the only star for Knowles the veteran star forward also made the northern lads look sick many times. The fourth quarter was the fastest part of the game but the big lead gained at the first could not be overcome so the fighting Flora Eve met a 26 to 15 defeat. KANKAKEE The team played at Kankakee on a floor larger than any that they had ever seen before. Kankakee made the first basket and followed that one with several more, getting a total of ten points in the first half while Flora gathered only three, a free throw by Hunley and a long basket lby H. Smith. The second half was a different story. Right after it started .Hunley got two baskets, Knowles one, and Fitch one putting Flora ahead 11 to 10. Flora began to feel better but didnot feel that way long as Kan- kakee got two more baskets and made the score 14 to 11 with only a few minutes to go. Knowles and Hunley then connected with one each and put Flora in the lead again 15 to 14. Flora then gave an excellent exhi- bition of close guarding and kept the ball in her possession mostl of the. time. Kankakee fouled Knowles and he made good one ofthe two free throws and made the score 16 to 14. The game ended with this score. Thus ended the longest trip that the Flora Basketball team has ever taken. SALEM Flora seemed to be a little over-confident in this game. Flora played good basket ball offensively but their defense was poor. Salem got the jump on them and it was nip and tuck the first half. The score at the first quarter was 9 to 8 in favor of Salem, and 13 to 12 at the half in favor of Flora. In the third quarter Flora outscored her opponents and the score was 21 to 14 at the end of that quarter. Salem came back strong the next quarter and the game ended 26 to 24 in favor of Flora. CEN TRALIA Flora had been winning most of her games and so had Centralia: therefore, there was much speculation as to who would win. The game started with a bang. Centralia had seven points before Flora knew what I had happened. Flora then put in several new men and the score began to change but Centralia still continued to lead at the half. Flora came back the last half and fought as hard as they could and they cut the lead down somewhat The score at the end of the game was Centralia 24-Q Flora 17 lid-.Q jill if is F, 70, F 1 , ,H . f 7 A ' A ,L '- I ,-.-- ,ffl i- -- - l i .. 9. Wir X V 'F-K ' .1 . , OLNEY The team went to Olney in fair spirits having shown quite a reversal of form in the preceding game with Centralia. Olney started the game with a fast offense and succeeded in getting eight points before Flora could score. The first five minutes proved to be the locals downfall. At the beginning of the second quarter the team outplayed Olney but could not connect with the basket. The half ended 22 -12 in favor of Olney. The second half Flora came back strong and outplayed and out scored their rivals by a score of 11-15. The game ended with the score of 27-23 in favor of Olney. However the fans were greatly encouraged over the im- provement shown. Knowles starred for the H. S. T. H. S. amassing a total of 15 points while Blind, the rival captain was able to get but one field goal. ALBION On February 4th the team journeyed to Albion. The Albion boys had beaten Flora in the first game of the season and they also had beaten some of the best teams around. This made the Flora boys fight harder than ever and also one of the reasons why the won. The game was start- ed with Hunley, H. Smith, Hodges, Tucker, and Dye. This seemed to be Hodges lucky night, because as soon as the game began he shot three field goals which gave them a good lead. When the first half had ended several more points- were scored by both sidesg the score being 17 to 14 in'favor of Flora. When the end came the score was 26 to 18 in favor of Flora, Hunley and Dye were put out on personals. SUMNER Flora expected a hard game with Sumner and it was as expected. Knowles started the scoring with a short one and Sumner followed it with one. Hodges made one and then Sumner made another. It was seen that the ' ' ' game was going to be a tight one because every time one team would score the other one would too. The first quarter ended 9 to 7 in favor of Flora. Then Sumner got hot, with Flora also warm and the half ended 15 to 13 in favor of Sumner. Flora trailed the last half all the time but were never more tran two points behind until the last 2 minutes. It seemed as though one team could not make a basket unless the other one did too. Hunley was put out on personals in the third quarter and Knowles in the last quarter. The referee called everything so close that the game was somewhat slowed up. The game ended 32 to 28. Sumner was at the top of her form and Flora wasn't far from hers and the showing made against such a strong opponent as Sumner speaks well for the team as Sumner is rated as one of the best teams in this part of the country Each player onthe Flora team played well and the scoring was led bv Knowles and Hodges, but each player contributed something to the score.

The starting lineup for Flora was Knowles, Hodge, Hunley, Dye and Mack. The game started with a zip and in a very short time Knowles and Hodges had run up a score of 12 points. At the end of the first quarter the score was 15 to 0 in favor of Flora. The second team was sent in about the middle of the second half. The second string played until the end of the third quarter, holding Fair- field to 4 points, while they themselves, made 9. The score at the end of the third quarter being 28 to 9. The first team was again run in. Hodge had a little hard luck missing two set ups. Fairfield made two free throws and Flora 2 field goals during the last quarter. The game ended with a score of 32 to 11 in F1ora's favor. LOUISVILLE Backed by the largest crowd of the season and by the Flora band, the Flora boys came through in fine style and defeated Louisville by a score of 32 to 13 Tuesday night, February 15. Flora was defeated at Louisville 21 to 12 in a game earlier in the season, so a hard game was expected. Louisville put up a stiff iight the first quarter which ended withthe score 6 to 7 in favor of Louisville. The last three quarters of the game Louis,- ville seemed to slow up, while the Flora boys continued to fight hard throughout the whole game. The defensive work of Dye and Smith was exceedingly good. Dye made a nice long shot in the first quarter. Smith: scored 12 points mostly on long shots. Knowles was covered during the entire game by Ely, but he succeeded in slipping through for some short shots. The rest of the boys fought hard and contributed to the score- The team played the best game of the season so far. BRIDGEPORT Bridgeport' beat Flora at Bridgeport in a poorly played' contest. As a result of this the Flora boys were somewhat overconfident in the second game between the two teams. Flora secured the lead at the start of the game and held it most of the first half, but owing to poor defense Bridge- port tied the score at the half with 16 all. The third quarter was all Bridge- port's. They made three points and Flora made none ending the quarter 19' to 16. Flora missed a great number of shots during this quarter. In the last quarter Flora woke up, tied the score and then went ahead scoring 15 points in that quarter while Bridgeport scored only two. The game ended 31 to 21 in Floras favor., - ill: 7 4:7 if ' , ,Y f fm I All , ' - -- ' ,.-- . -- - ee --- ,--.,.. l YV ? N-X ..,. , . XENIA Flora's second string started this game: Mack and Smith, guards, Forth and Venable, forwards, with Squire at center. Xenia scored first, but at the quarter the score stood 6-4 in. favor of Flora. -In the second quarter Mack was put out on fouls. Smith played exceptionally well on defense. but the forwards did not seem to be able to find the basket. At the half the score stood 8-6 in favor of Xenia. The second string started the last half but were soon replaced by the first team. Due to exception- ally poor foul shooting and on account of one point not being counted the score was 17 to 14 at the end of the game in Xenia's favor. MT. CARMEL Mt. Carmel was by far the best team that Flora has played this year. They have been beaten only once and that by an Indiana team. As in sev- :ral other games this year Flora was beaten in the first quarter. Mt. Car- .nel got several good shots and they just couldn't miss. Flora couldn't hit. In the second quarter Mt. Carmel ran the score 'up to 21 to 9. In the third quarter Flora played rings around the tall Mt. Carmel boys and made 8 points while Mt. Carmel only made one. Then Mt. Carmel's magi- cians got busy again. The final score was 32 to 22. As a team Mt. Car- mel works beautifully. Each member of the team can handle the ball very cleverly. It was no disgrace to be beaten by this team and Flora did well in holding the score as close as they did. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Flora vs. Albion Each team claimed one victory over the other during the season. Flora expected a hard fight. During the first half there was not much scoring done by either team. Flora had an advantage of one point at the half the score being 7 .to 6. Things quickened during the second half and Flora's scoring machine led by Knowles started cracking them. Hodges and Smith hit sev l d h ' era an w en the smoke cleared away from the field Flora led 20 to 14 thus drawing the right to meet Xenia in the semi-finals. Flora vs. Xenia Flora had been defeated by Xenia during the season d th Fl . an e ' ora people were in doubt of the outcome of the issue. Flora started the game with Hunley and Dye out and was using a zone defense. Before many moments Xenia had 6 to Flora's 0. Flora called time out and started to use a man to man defense. Hunley and Dye were put in thegame and from then on it was a different story. Flora started scoring and led at the half 11 to7 Modlin Xenia's star could not d th' 3 . , o a 1ng against Smith who Was guarding him. In the second half Flora's defense held Xenia to ogily one fieldtlgoag and two free throws while her offense again led bv now e ' s ran e nal score up to 26 to 11. Mack substituted for Smith who went out on personals, and played a very good game Z 1 gil ,, 12:1 -'-' x f . ' Z ' ff: Biff, Es .54- 6f': g 1 v Z . H . . wg vi Xxx wav,-Q! Mt. Vernon vs. Flora Mt. Vernon, twice as good a team on paper than Flora, won her way to the finals by virtue of her close victories over Enfield and Opdyke 27 to 24 and 20 to 19, respectively. The writer attributes these close games as the cause of Flora's triumph over Mt. Vernon. Mt. Vernon was not in as good condition as Flora and these two games wore them out. The game started, Knowles scored first for Flora with a long one from the side. After that Mt. Vernon's extra fast break, which dazed Flora, put them in the lead 7 to 2. Smith got a free throw and Hunley gotza basket with one hand from out in front of the basket. Mt. Vernon scored two more baskets. Knowles got a short one from the side g Mt. Vernon got another and ended the half 13 to 7 in favor of Mt. Vernon. At the start of the second half, Knowles got a free throw, and then another. Mt. Vernon got two free throws and Knowles got a long basket from the side to make the score at the end of the third quarter 15 to 11 in favor of Mt. Vernon. Smith started the fourth quarter with a long one from center and ten sec- onds later Knowles got a short one to tie up the score. Mt. Vernon called time out. Ball up center again, several passes and Hodges got one from the foul circle to put Flora into the lead 17 to 15. Meanwhile Dye had been ejected from the game on personals and Mack had taken his place. Mack fouled Doxie of Mt. Vernon which gave them a chance to tie the score. He hit the first free throw but missed the next one. Flora began holding the ball with a one point lead and two minutes to go. Those two minutes seemed hours. Mt. Vernon got several shots but were so hurried by the Flora defense that they failed to connect. 'The best two shots of the tournament were the last two shots of the time keeper's gun. Ask anyone. Flora was district champs after that gun shot with the right to represent this district at the sectional in Salem. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Flora met Sumner in the Sectional. During the first quarter Flora played rings around Sumnerg at the start Hunley got several short shotsg Smith a long one, and Knowles two free throws and a basket, making a total of 10 to 4. Then Sumner started scoring and soon tied it up 11 all for the half. At the start of the second half' Sumner got a basket, then Smith one, Sumner twog and Smith a free throw. Smith went out on personals and Mack went in. Knowles got a short one to make it 19 to 16 in favor of Sumner. Sumner started stalling with the ball and opened up Flora's defense. Sumner's tall men then proved the value of heighthv and proceeded to sew up the game, the final score was 23 to 16. Sumner was beaten in the finals by East St. Louis 20 to 17.

Deer pa and ma, say this place is hot stuff after one is akuianted with all the boot- iful gals. i joined a grup of kids going to school the first day and some smart kids, what caled themselfs seniers said that i had bettur look out or the kows would get me. i finally got in a room called the asembly, wher i was handed a green card. after sumbudy had sent me down in the basmant to the aljebra rum i got started in my clases. we were told to go to a class meetin where we maid a kid caled hogan boss, mcmahan straw-boss, a mann gal got the cash and techers thrif and graham were maid class advertisments. our boys got down in the basmint and wun sumthing' caled a class iiurnment and thin when it got warm they instead of goin fishin like me run a race and 3 got F's. yur dootiful sun, Bill. May 30, 1925, Flora, Illinois. Dear Ma and Pa, I am now started on my sofmur yeer an i will tell of sum of my ex- perunceg, we were handed yellel' cards this year alld told to take g00ITl- etry. i almost but not quite fiunked but ma my educficashun is progressm. We got togethur and elected offise-rs frinny Stanfurd was elected to help and Rimer Maxwell as helper. B. Mack kept the cash and miss grayham and miss hodson were elected to guide us. Knock-em-cold Knowles was one forward on the basket-ball team. . Three kids made F's in track and Knowles was maid catain. I went to the class party this yeer up to Virginny potter's which was on Halowean. I had a swell time ma. I had a dait with a red hared gal. She has a funny way of acting that makes me all Warm and wiggly. - I also went on a piknik to rose lake which we were pulling off. How do you like my vokabulari and awl my lernin pa that i hove gotten in the play of ediction? I will halt here. I remain still your sun, Willie. May 30, 1926. Dear Papa and Mamma: The teachers say my English and spellin has improved so I will write you a letter and let you judge fur yourselves. There was fifty 3Juniors started in school on Sept. 1, 1925. We had our class meetin and after much auctioneerin we elected John McMahan for president, Ray Sparlin vice president, Elmer Knokles treasuor and Miss Williams and Mr. Hollopeter cla. d ' ' ss a visers. I expect it is about time for a paragraph. I f gag N K X :Az Q I . '4 S I -- . I. , ,..4- ,l ' ,:..Q:5 -- .. Y 'Nc-gf wxntl We had one party and one weiner roast. I had the most fun at the weiner roast. We had a Junior-Senior banquet. We were greatly helped in the Cornival by Eugenia Gillette's assistance. We had a lot of fun at the banquet and the room looked awful pretty but we sure done some workin to get it that way. I think the football team would have been much better if I could have assisstedbut the trouble is I couldn't get anybody else to believe it but I will say they done good with Hubbell, Saums, Gibson, Zimmerman and Holder on the first team I felt confident I would make the first team in Basket ball but they also got along without me for Knowles and Hubbell got to play on the first team. Your lovin son, Will. May 30, 1927. Dear Mother and Father: I will graduate from the Flora High School in a few more days and I certainly hope both of you will be able to atttend. School opened August 30, 1926, and we again assembled as usual but there was a difference for- now we are Seniors. Our number had increased to seventy one but later in the year we lost some of our classmates in the sea of matrimony. The procedure of our class was much the same as the proceeding year but we held our class meeting first and elected John McMahan pres- ident, Elmer Knowles treasurer, and Henry Harrison secretary. Our advisers were Miss Whiteford and Mr. Cummings. We have all worked hard CMiss Whiteford saw to thatl selling Eskimo pies and cand t b th ' y a o the football and basket ball games. We also made money at the cafeteria held during teacher's institute. We are also going to raise money by giving a Senior class play. We have had a weiner roast, 2. Christmas party and a Valentine party and there is more comi fr ' u ng yet. As I am now a Senior I have finally learned I will never be an athlete and have given up all hopes but am glad that Knowles, Hunley, Sparlin, Maxwell, fLloydJ Smith, Mack, Gibson, Zim- merman, fJohnJ Fitch and Squires got to play on first team in football. I will admit to you folks only that I am just a little ' l b Jea ous ecause Knowles lCaptainJ, Mack, Dye, Lloyd Smith and Hunley were placed on the basket ball team. I don't know yet who is going out for track but K l ' ' ' ' ' now es IS Captain. Maybe I will have better luck with it. We congratulate ourselves upon our excellent choice of class advisers. We hope that the graduating class next year will be as successful a cl ass as we have been and that they will profit by our mistakes. u Your son, William. 1 J if CII: 'E f-'f ' I ' ',:.'a'llfiL ...-L- I-2.-G' I 7. ti - 'f' QQ.

About sixty members of the class accompanied by their class advisers, Miss St. John and Mr. Andrews, hiked to the Webster school, north of town. The boys showed their young chivalry by preparing wood for the weiners. The girls gave valuable assistance in building the fire. After all the weiners, pickles, buns, and marshmallows had been taken care of, games were played. Most of the girls were dressed in hiking costumes and the boys wore overalls, so no one felt so dressed up but that he could participate in playing the various games. About the time the moon rose, the class of nineteen thirty one began its journey homeward, tired but happy, after having the first social of their career. ' SOPHOMORE WEINER ROAST One evening last October, the brilliant Sophomores met at the High School, prepared for a jubilant evening. The great festival was a weiner roast, chaperoned by Miss Graham and Miss Blair, the class advisers. They hiked to Harter's Woods, a matter of a few miles from town. After they had feasted on weiners and buns, and had played several games, the merry bunch wended their way homeward. FRESHMEN CHRISTMAS PARTY The Freshman class held their annual Christmas party in the high school gymnasium on the evening of December fourteenth. Sixty jolly freshmen were present to enjoy the program of games ana contests. A beautiful Christmas tree stood at one end of the room with a present for each boy and girl. Presently Santa Claus appeared, carrying a large box of candy, which was greatly enjoyed. He then distributed the gifts from the tree, after which the girls of the class served light refreshments. SENIOR WEINER ROAST On November 4, the Seniors, gathered in the park enroute to our Weiner roast. The night was rather chilly but no one seemed to mind. Unfortunately cars were scarce, but everyone was tucked away somewhere on the cars. One car refused to go. On careful examination it lacked gasoline. After so much trouble, the cars reached Hollywood Beach. A big fire was built and everyone roasted weiners. Then games were played At 9:00 we left with regrets.

SOPHOMORE CHRISTMAS PARTY ' On December 14, 1926, occured the first indoor party of the Sopho- mores. Among the various games and contests, stringing popcorn was the most exciting. A decorated heavy-laden Christmas tree was the main attraction of the evening. The class President, Knight McMahan, dis- tributed the gifts, causing much laughter. Suitable refreshments were tserved by the committee. Everyone agreed that nine o'clock came all oo soon. SENIOR CHRISTMAS PARTY The Senior class held their annual Christmas party in the High School Gym. on Dec. 23, 1926. The greater part of the evening was spent in play- ing games, after which Santa Claus presented each one with a small gift. Refreshments were served by the losers of the Christmas card contest. All departed on time, nine o'clock. JUNIOR WEINER ROAST On October 20, a small group of Juniors gathered at the Library park prepared for a good time. They walked to Tooth Pick Grove where the roast was held. Everyone indulged in fun until time to go home. A JUNIOR INDOOR CIRCUS November 12 was a big night for the Juniors, who celebrated in the gymnasium by giving an indoor circus for the purpose of making funds for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Many excitements drew attention of the people present. SENIOR VALENTINE PARTY The Senior Valentine party marked the beginning of a new era in the history of class parties for on this memorial occasion the domestic art of planning, preparing and serving the refreshments was engineered by the boys of the class. The featuring events of the entertainment- division of the program were vocal music, duets, games, and a Valentine box. The Valentines were many and carried much expression of spirit, love, etc. COMMERCIAL CLUB PARTY A party, held in the H. S. T. H. S. gymnasium Wednesday night, February 16, was enjoyed by the members of the Commercial Club. Al- though not on his birthday, it was held in honor of St. Valentine. Partners were found by sentimental proceedings and many young men found them- selves proprietors of more than one fair maiden. Mrs. Gibson made a delightful chaperone and through her efforts refreshments in keeping with the occasion were served. After some singing the guests departed K having had one more Joyful time in their school life. f K W i m Gill ig- '-5-7' ! ' 5 -. , 4' Sg- A ... . , :x! 'N'-azl I gesqgx w.7',x J N ' GJ- - . FRESI-IMAN PARTY On the night of March, a jolly Freshmen party was held in the gym. Several contests were held and prizes were given to the winners of each. After a few more games refreshments were served which consisted of brick ice cream and cookies. All left the gym at 9 o'c1ock. THE SOPHOMORE PARTY February the 28th a group of bright Sophomores met in the gym to relieve their minds of worry. They indulged in an automobile race which went along splendidly, excepting for a few punctures and a blowout. Seemingly, all had a good time, especially when refreshments were served. It was hoped that everyone returned home in a happy state. ESSAY ON ATHLETIC WOMEN Why do women not take up athletics as seriously as men and boys? Are they too lazy or are they just indifferent? An athletic-looking young woman is the most sought after of her sex. Right there is the best in- centive in the world for women to be athletes. Have you not heard of women being praised because of their boyish figure? What is the cause of that kind of figure? Natural? Sometimes, but not always. It is be- cause they are out-door girls, fullnof life and fond of running and jumping. Of course there are exceptions to that rule. Some girls would not have a boyish figure if they took up athletics for a thousand years. Most men fsupposing -of course, that they are in a position to do thisl, when they are beginning to consider taking a wife to share their fortunes and mis- fortunes, go through a culling process. For example, suppose that a mil- lionaire was compelled to marry one of a group of one hundred girls, all equal to the same degree in regard to beauty, education and temper, fmost girls have a temperl but not equal in form owing to some being athletes and others not. Put yourself in this man's place. Would you select a nice plump one full of life and vim and vigor or would you select one that was flabby and lazy, not used to exerting herself beyond the act of con- veying a chocolate from a box to her mouth? You would undoubedly select the former. If that doesn't prove anything else, it proves that a girl is not lazy who takes up athletics. -Elmer Knowles fax? f X Z s gil: -2,2 R K fx I:-N ff , 5-,'Fu.

Of course you know the fellow who comes around and tells you of this or that famous person who had a lucky break and finally got into the Big League-and the Big League, according to the language of today may mean prominence on the stage, in politics, in athletics or anywhere else. Do you believe it was luck ? Of course not. No worth- while man or woman ever attained a worth-while place without hard work. Ask President Coolidge, or Ty Cobb, or Fred Stone or Marion Talley or Gertrude Ederle or Paavo Nurmi or any of the people in the public eye today. Work, work, work. And we say, SAVE, SAVE, SAVE! It is the only sure way to get there. There are NO short cuts to lasting success.

Co., of Chicago, that they will issue a policy on your lives from S500 to 32,000 This is a New Advent for them, and it is called our High School Educational Policy. Here-to-fore our age limit was 17, but believing that the Boys and Girls of lesser ages should have the benefits of this policy, the limit was lowered. We would be glad to explain this policy to you and your parents, how it will assist you to secure and finish your education already begun. Parents of High School Children, it will pay you to get in touch with me and learn about this wonderful pol- icy and how it will lighten your financial burden. Information gladly given. FRANK L.

Not the least valuable of his ser- vices is as a sanitarian. He cares for the dead and at the same time protects the health and safety of the living. Floods, storms, epidemics and other calamities have demonstrated the necessity of having a body of men trained in this science.

These animals, four abreast, head to tail, would make a solid line of beasts from Hudson Bay to the Golden Gate. Such is the result of the policies laid down by an insti- tution whose prime object is building shoes of SOLID LEATHER construction and sound value.

For instance: Longfellow could take a piece of paper and write a poem on in and make it worth 55,000-that's genius. Ford can sign his name to a check and make it worth a million dollars-that's capital. A skilled worker can convert three cents worth of steel into watch springs worth hundreds of dollars-that's skill. Any man can spend his money as fast as he makes it-that's foolishness. Save, and keep your account at our bank-that's business. 9 The Flora National Bank FLORA, ILLINOIS f 1 The Harstan Volume 6 5 QUALITY ABOVE ALL HERFF-JONES CO.
