Herman Schneider The Patsy concerns Patricia Harrington, a girl who runs second to her older sister. She is the patsy who is blamed whenever anything goes wrong, and is forced to remain in the background in order that .her sister may be presented to advantage. Her father, a traveling man, is on her side, and finally declares his independence, by putting Ma in her proper place. This brings about Patsy's ulti- mate triumph, and needless to say, affords her happiness as the bride of the man she loves. .e Kg 9?JCd HQIQZQ, CFCQQQ 45 J I IJ' , gg .

Mildred Hebrank The Black Terror .......................................... Clarence Loyet The play was woven around a mysterious person known as the Black Terror who was expected to make his appearance into the household at any moment because of valuable jewels in the possession of Gram Pembroke. Evidences of his proximity are given by broken locks, mysterious telephone messages, the substitutions of blanks for real amunition in the family fire-arms, and the throwing of a message tied around a brick into the midst of the family council. Needless to say, the members were much perturbed. .To solve the mystery, and to protect the household, fArt, Mrs. Whitman's son, was too young, and Gramp, her father, was too o1d,J Mrs. Whitman called a detective agency, and engaged the manager, Kay Mills. All were surprised to find, contrary to expectations, that Kay Millis was a lovely young woman. She adroitly managed to gain the co-operation of Gramp and Art who had their vanity wounded. The mystery was cleared up when, in the last act, four black terrors were captured, and We discovered that Art, Gramp and Edith Whitman were responsible for some of the strange goings on. Edith was a writer, and wanted local color. Gramp and Art wanted to show that they were capable of protecting the family in the absence of Captain Pembroke. Each had engaged a friend to act as the black terror. Kay Millis, however, captured the real black terror, a notorious criminal, after Gram Pembroke's jewels. L 9?

Of the seventeen men who turned out the following nine were selected: Capt. Netzer, Lory, E. Neubauer, Morstain, Byrne, Hoffmann, Tschannen, D. Neubauer, Schneider, and Tibbetts. It probably would be erroneous to call the past season the most successful one, neither would it be fair to call it the contrary, therefroe we will call it a season of good average and leave our readers to draw their own conclusions as they in- variably will in a case of this kind. Wihen the past -season is referred to as a season of good average several im- portant fa-ctors must be taken into consideration. One point in this respect is that we do not base this statement upon the number of games won and lost but pay especial attention to that very important quality of sportsmanship or manner in which our team takes defeat and how they obtain victory. Of 12 official games played during the past season 7 were won and 5 lost, a record not at all demeritous. The boys acquitted themselves well during the latter half of the season by winning all of the last 6 games played. EDVVARDSVILLE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Highland played Madison in their Hrst game, but as fate would have it they lost by a score of 32-24. Our team played a very good game and made a great im- pression upon the judges. The team made 13 out of a possible 15 free throws for the best average in the tournament and were awarded this honor by officials. BASKET BALL NOTES The Basket Ball team of 1928-1929 desires to thank all followers of basket ball games for their wonderful support and backing shown throughout the past season. The team was fortunate during the year because no one was injured to any great extent. V The team wishes to thank the school for the wonderful banquet and letters given at the end of the season. The team extends its sincere thanks to Coach Martin for his wonderful work shown throughout the past year. It was largely through his strategy that the team succeeded in coming down the Home Stretch. kin fCl6F't'f0 B 192 0Q2.a gfxeo oefgn N Front Row, Seated: Clarence Netzer, captaing Orville Morstain, Herbert Lory, Dar- win Neubauer, Nelson Hoffmann, James Byrne, Edward Neubauer, John Tschannen.

I Coach Martin, a graduate and letter man of Illinois College and coach in our school for the past two years, had a task upon his hands in the beginning of the rookies, and after weeks as er and much superior to season. His job was to develop players out of a bunch of and months of patient labor he developed a team, f t opposing teams. NETZER avant.. The greatest guard that has ever cavorted in this section. This is the op-inion f ll o a students of the game. As a captain and leader he has no superior in high school circles. He was always working and goading his team until they dropped from exhaustion. When his team needed confidence it was this speedy running guard w.ho gave it to them and when his team faltered because of over-confidence he soon had them fighting mad, as if they were going against a hated enemy Who had a superior record. NEUBAUER Ed Although a Sophomore he made the grade. Whenever he shoots he hits is the opinion of many critics. A man of good character, ability and stamina.

Dorris of Collinsville as a Memorial to the Life and Work of C. L. Dietz. When I came to Madison County nearly thirty years ago, no one welcomed me more cordially than C. L. Dietz and during all of the years since then, our relations were extremely pleasant. It is one of the finest things in the world to have the good will and friendship of a good man. IC. L. Dietz was my friend and life to me' has been fuller and richer because of our relationship. I met him for the last time about a year ago. We were 'both members of a committee to whom had been assigned the task of recommending text books for adoption throughout the county. W'e held a number of meetings in connection with the work. He was always promptly on hand and his discriminating judgment was of great assistance to us in our deliberations. He did not seem to be very Well, but he did not complain. It was not his nature to do so. 'We did not suspect, what he probably knew, that for him the sands of lite were nearly run. He had lost his de- voted wife several years before and his home was completely broken, for his only son lived far away. After the death of his wife, life for .him was empty and lonely and this no doubt had much to do with bringing about his physical decline. A short time before the opening of school last fall, I was shocked when I learned that he had tendered his resignation to the Board of Education of Highland, accompanied with the statement that it was unfair to the school to have a sick man as superintendent. I understand that the board granted him a leave of absence for a year, with the hope, if not the expectation, that a winter in the warm climate and bright sunshine of southern 'California might restore his failing health, It was a vain hope and on May- 1, at the home of his son in Hollywood, his soul took its flight to that realm 'beyond the stars. He lies buried near that dream city of the west, and to-day while we are gathered here in his home city to pay a fitting tribute of respect to his memory, the sweet fragrant flowers are sending heavenward their sweet incense where he sleeps, and the gentle mountain breezes are singing sad requiems-over his grave. It is not my purpose to present a detailed biography .of Mr. Dietz, With his personal life history, I am unfamiliar, except in a very general way. I learn from others that he was boin in Marine 67 years ago, grew to manhood there, -began teaching while quite young, soon afterward became superintendent of the Highland schools, which position he held until last fall. His wife, a charming and talented woman and helpmeet, died several years ago. One son, Osmer, survives him and lives in California. I can speak only of those strong traits of his character which impressed them- selves upon my mind in my contacts with him as friend and co-worker in the teach- ing profession. If he had faults, I did not know them. In my attempt to analyze his ability and character, I shall confine my effort to those qualities, which in my judgment, stand out in bold relief. As a schoolman, Mr. Dietz was held in high regard by his fellow workers. In all of the years of his activity in the schools of Madison County .he commanded al- ways th-e utmost respect, and I might add, the highest admiration of the school teachers. In this respe-ct he occupied an enviable position. He was a safe, sane and capable leader of teachers. He was quick to percieve and adopt new ideas in educa- tion, provided they could stand the test of stern logic and common sense. He' was progressive but not radically so. A While .he was quick to comprehend the good, in any proposed new educational theory, he was equally quick to detect the shallow and the false. He always kept his feet upon the ground, pedagogically speaking, but his eyes were -on the horizon, readyto catch the first glimpse of any real genuine educational discovery. He was not a fadist and he had no hobby, but the hobby of industrious, conscientious appli- cation to the task before him. In the teachers' organizations to which he belonged, he was an efficient worker and adviser. He was not as prominent as some others of far less ability, but his counsel and advice were none-the-less constructive and help- ful. He did not choose to be in the limelight, but from him there emanated a light which shone steadily and softly and which could not be hid, even under the un- assuming personality w.hich he possessed. As a teacher in the classroom, Mr. Dietz was enthusiastic and succeeded in im- parting his enthusiasm to his pupils. The boy who could not be inspired to do his best under his teaching, could not be aroused by anyone. A great host of boys and girls, who have gone out from the Highland school, and who are now occupying places of prominence in t.he professions and in all walks of life, are indebted to him more than to anyone else for being shown the way to realize their hopes and dreams. As a disciplinarian, he was methodical and exacting. Although he always gave encouragement to honest effort, even though it might be a failure, he was satisfied with nothing but the best. In theory and in practice, he believed that boys and girls should learn the virtue of obedience. His former pupils, in speaking of him, are agreed that he was exact in his requirements and strict in enforcing them, and that it did not take them long to discover the fact. To use the words of one of his for- mer pupils, he was very strict in everything, and what was more, ,he made us like it. It was not a blind obedience which he exacted, regardless of the right or the Wrong of it. It was the kind of obedience which boys and girls should learn. He was a believer in the old fashioned virtues. As a, school administrator, his career has been excelled by few men. For nearly forty years ,he had the good fortune of remaining at the head of the same school, This is an experience which any teacher might honestly covet. He taught three gen- erations of boys and girls. He was permitted to see them grow and develop. He saw some of the results of his teaching as exemplified in the lives of those Whom he had taught. It is impossible to judge with even an approximate accuracy, the results of school teaching. Examinations are no criteria. Completed assigned tasks are not the ultimate goal. It is the unfolded life, the developed personality, the crystalized character that is the resultant of teaching. And this the itinerant school teacher cannot witness, for his pupils are lost to him when .he moves on to other fields. Mr. Dietz was fortunate in that he was permitted to follow his pupils from the kinder- garten through the grade school, the high school, the university and then into and partly throug.h the great school of life. He was permitted to see, what few school teachers are permitted to see, some of the results of his own teaching. This was no small recompense for his life of toil, more valuable and more satisfying than mater- ial reward. The fact that Mr. Dietz was permitted to serve so long as Superintendent of schools in Highland, is in itself a strong testimonial to his efficiency and to his ability to satisfy public sentiment in this community. It was not an accident that he served so long. No man without merit could do a thing like that in America. While it was an honor to Mr. Dietz to be appointed year after year for four decades, the community should be comp-limented in being able to recognize the ability and character of this man. In this long period of service, both parties were honored, the community and the teacher. Mr. Dietz received a very good elementary school education, and although .he did spend some of his summers at the university, he was not what could be called a college trained man. However, he never boasted of the fact. On the other hand he frequently expressed regret that he had been denied the opportunity of completing a university course in his youth. He had an inquiring mind and one susceptible of quickly responding to the stimulation which the university seeks to arouse. The university would not have spoiled him, as it has many men and women but it would have made of him a leader, an investigator, a thinker, whose fame and iniiuence would have reached far beyond the confines of his home community. I would not seek to convey the idea that Mr. Dietz was not an educated man or that his mind was untrained. He was an educated man in the true sense of the word. He was a thinker. He was a student. He was cultured. He was refined. However the handicap which he labored under in being deprived of a college educa- tion made his road hard and long. The term self made man might be applied to him, but it should not be misinterpreted. Emmerson said the self made man always exhibits the label of the architest, or words to that effect. If Mr. Dietz could have been classed as a self made man he did not exhibit any of the defects so noticeable in such-men. He possessed the bearing, the poise, the dignity and the manners of the typical university graduate. He may have been lacking somewhat in self confidence. In him the ego was never in prominence. He never boasted of what he had accomplished, of what he was doing or of what he proposed to do. And this trait is the water mark of a really educated person. While our friend was unfortunate in not having the opportunity of graduating from the university, he was exceedingly fortunate in having the advantage of good parentage and a good home. One of the grave errors which we as Americans are guilty of, is the belittling of the value of heredity, in so far as our practice is con- cerned. In theory,'it is true we do not underestimate the importance of being well born, but in our practice we fall far short in too many instances in placing the proper value upon inheritance. The be-st capital that a boy or girl can possibly have in the World is to be born of good, healthy parents. Add to this the sequel of being reared in a good, clean, well directed home, and the childis given a start in life that is of infinite value. It is a matter of small importance whether a child is born in a hovel or in a mansion, but it is of importance that he be born of good stock. Lincoln would have become great had be been born in luxury. Theodore Roosevelt would have become world renowned had he been reared in a home of poverty. Mr. Dietz came of good stock and lived true to his inheritance. The parents of Carl Dietz recognized that the responsibility of rearing their children was their problem, and that not much of the problem could be relegated or delegated to the Church, the school, or to the environment of the community. The-se institutions are mighty forces and necessary forces in the development of character and in training the individual for the activities of life, but the home always was, and always will be, the most important factor in the training of the child. VVhen par- ents cease to recognize the fact that they cannot escape the major part of the re- sponsibility of rearing their children, the home will be a home no longer. The par- ents of Mr. Dietz did not seek to shift their responsibility to others. Would that more parents in t11is day and generation could be imbulbed wit.h the same feeling of responsibility. Mr. Dietz was an efficient citizen as well as an efficient school-master. He was a power for good in the community as well as in the schoolroom. While he did not seek prominent leadership in civic affairs, he was a constructive worker and sup- porter of every undertaking which had for its purpose the betterment of community life. He seemed to feel, as every true teacher should feel, that teaching is a voca- tion of service, and that ,service and influence s.hould not be limited to the school- room. He was a thoroughly dependable citizen, never failing to do his duty when called upon. This is a trait p-ossessed by few. Mr. Dietz was one of the few. In his social relations, Mr. Dietz was the embodiment of courtesy and friendli- ness. His friendly attitude was not studied or forced, not assumed for the purpose of gaining preferment. It was a part of his nature to be kind and courteous. Those who were permitted to know him socially, considered themselves fortunate, for to be in his presence was a benediction. He was an interesting conversationalist but he never monopolized the conversation. He was a well read man and a deep thinker, but he courteously conceded that others could think as well as he. To have known him even casually was a pleasure. To have had his friendship was a joy. Our friend and neighbor is now beyond our reach. He does not need our praise. It might have been better to have given him more roses while he lived. The eu- logies, which we now pronounce, might .have made his burden seem lighter had they been spoken when he could have heard them. To relate his virtues now will do him no good, but it may help us. The example of his life should stimulate us to do our best, whatever our work may be. To those who were pupils of Mr. Dietz, the contacts and experiences wit.h life's realities in the years to come will cause them to remember with everlasting grati- tude the splendid instruction and wise counsel which he gave them. His fellow teachers will go to their tasks with quickened consciences and aroused enthusiasm as they recall his fidelity to duty and his unbounded faith in childhood. His asso- ciates in every walk of life will always remember him with love and gratitude and will be thankful that they were permitted to come within the circle of his inliuence. Our friend and fellow worker has gone on a long, long journey. He has em- barked on that phantom ship on the mystic sea. He has crossed the bar and unafraid has met his Pilot face to face. He left this life as he had lived it, with a conscience void of offense toward his God and his fellow men. What more need be said of any man. In closing this brief testimonial to the life of one who deserved a better and liner tribute than the one I have spoken. I trust it may not seem inappropriate to recite that little poem, that world classicfwritten by Alfred Tennyson, Crossing the Bar. As I knew Mr. Dietz, I believe it expresses, in ameasure at least, his philoso- phy of Death and his faith in the Hereafter. CROSSING THE BAR Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep ' Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark. For though from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.
