M MEMBERS Henry Gedney (Captain) Tracy Alexander George Young’ John Cannon Albert Mollenbrok Verne Tremblett Felix McAvoy William Hadden Howard Wood Edwin Smith (Manager) The track team for 1910 was, on a whole, very successful. In the W. I. H. S. L. meet, Petersburg took first with 34 points, and J. H. S. was second with 30. Alexander and Young made new records, respectively in the dashes and broad jumps. In a meet at Bloomington, consisting of towns of Central Illinois. J. H S. again took second. In the Interscholastic Meet at Champaign, while J. H. S. took no events, the members of its team were well represented in the heats and finals. As but few of this year’s team graduate, there are the best kind of prospects for a team next year. George Tandy Earl Wheeler George Day Lloyd Ross Howard Norris Harold McGinnis Lawrence Goveia Fred Stewart Paul Furr (Captain) Basil Sorrels (Manager) §11 This is the first year the J. H. S. has had a base ball team, and the success of this year promises well for future years. Prof. Huber, although he had never seen but a couple of games in his life, kindly consented to coach the team. When the team first assembled, everybody wanted to pitch or play the infield. but a good team was made up in a short time. As we go to press but one outside game has been plaved, which was with Beardstown, resulting 5 to 4 in favor of that town. On Friday Evening, May 27, Sheridan’s drama, “The Rivals.’’ was presented at the Grand Opera House, under the auspices of the Senior class of the High School. It was by far the most successful of any plays staged by the High School, the fact that every seat in the house was sold bearing witness. The cast was trained by Miss Mary Cleary, to whom no little credit must be given for the success of the drama. Taking charge of the play in April, within six weeks she had brought the cast up to a proper standard, so that when the pla}’ was presented, it went off without a hitch. Of the players themselves, George Vascon-cellos, as Sir Anthony Absolute, was beyond criticism and he played the part of the old man to perfection. The heaviest part of the play, that of Captain Jack Absolute, was well taken care of by Edwin Smith, who scored a hit. both by his dashing uniform and his manner of making love incognito. Henry Rodgers as Faulkland, the solemn faced fiance of Julia added much to the comedy of the situation. Bob Acres was the part played by Clyde Merrill, and was the part calling for the most skillful acting. As Bob, “Dub” was simply per- fect, and he may easily be considered the star of the play. In John Kolp, as Sir Lucius O’Trigger, a grand find was made, as few people even thought that “Skin ’em” was a natural born actor. His acting was past criticism in all departments. Burrell Hatfield, as Fag, was the cause of much merriment to the audience, both from his lines and from his general appearance on the stage. As David. Charlie McDonald made a decided hit, and all were sorry that his appearances on the stage were so few. Grace Roberts, as Mrs. Malaprop, had a difficult part to perform, but she carried off her honors without a hitch. Lydia Languish, played by Jeanette Taylor, around whom the plot of the play centered, was perfection both in appearance and in acting. Robertine Angelo, as Julia, was likewise beyond criticism, and Geneva Upp, as Lucy, carried her part splendidly. Finally, credit must be given to Miss Pyke of the faculty, who selected the play and the characters. Each one of the cast seemed to fit his particular part, and everyone will unite in saying that the play could not have been staged any better in any other high school. Prof. LaRue, the Seer, was deep in the study of the mysteries of Radio activities when I entered his Studio late in the afternoon of June 3, 1920 and it rather surprised me when he condecended to lay aside his instuments and figures and turn his attention to me. We had been together much of late and I had become somewhat familar with the problems and intricate workings in which my friend was interested. I don’t mean to insinuate that I even began to understand them or was of the least assistance to him in working them out, but I knew that he was experimenting with color vibrations and that within a few weeks he expected to present to the world a new theory of light, sound, and touch which he tho’t would revolutionize all the speculations of the past. And so I say it was somewhat of a shock and also a matter of some pride to me when he showed his willingness to lay aside these weighty problems, simply that he might indulge in a friendly chat with one so humble as I. He began with a description of his new radium producer but I will not tax your brains with such a heavy subject but will come directly to his recollections of the class 1910. “This season of the year” said he, “brings to my mind the old times of 10 to 15 years ago when we, as students of old Jacksonville High began to know things and when we sowed the seed for the crops which now we are harvesting. I suppose it it mostly weeds for some of the old bunch and for others it has grown to a rich harvest of golden wheat. I only know of three of the class at present. It’s strange that we drift apart as we do. You must have kept in touch with them better than I.” “No,” I replied,“I hardly remember some of them now. Of course I’ve read of Mile. Sheppard who created such a sensation in her dehut at the royal Opera House of Berlin last April, and of the Hon. Walter Huss. minister to Germany. Ha! Ha! •� he can attribute all his success in Germany to the excellent instruction received from Mrs. Koch. I wonder if she is still at the same old post. And then we have read the full record of Miss Davis I suppose it’s still Miss in the newspapers and magazines ever since the thrilling success she had as an orator at Champaign. Who would have tho’t that she would sacrifice her chances for a higher education to become an angel of mercy working in the slums, and a preacher of Brotherly love. But the three you spoke of who are they?” He did not not answer at once but handed me a cigar and rolled himself a cigarette of pure perique. Now I knew that something was coming for this was a sure sign. Then he spoke - “You knew of course that Schofield never recovered from that attack of nervous prostration contracted from over study in his senior year. Well when he died I tho’t that it would be interesting to watch his after life thru the post-mortiscope and I have it in my records.” Here he produced the Black book, as he called it, and read--“Schofield, died July 1910 cause, hemorage of the brain from over study. Assigned to Purgatory by St. Peter. Always was lucky. Met Billy Russell and both now in the pool room business near the lower gate. Bill tells me that they often hear a familiar voice from the other side. Must be Skin ’em. He never had Schofield’s luck anyway.” Then he closed the book. We were too full for utterance. Poor Skin ’em. He meant well. La Rue put the book back in the cabinet where he kept his sacred treasures and took out three different colored-crystals. “We might as well let the world wait a few days for her enlightenment. I’m curious to know .about them all.” He glided thru the portieres at one corner of the room and soon returned robed in the costume of the typical Egyptian seer. He brought with him his water pipe and a small square box which he placed on the floor before us. He then rang a bell and immediatly there appeared from I know not whence two stalwart South African coolies each carrying a load of down-ey pillows which they arranged on the rich Persian rug and we settled ourselves in among them. One servant loaded and lighted the water pipe which now stood between us while the other touched off the incense urn which soon enveloped us in a cloud of vapor. The servants were dismissed—we smoked awhile in silence and La Rue was ready for the dream. I cannot repeat everything: he told me but here are the crystal pictures and their translation as he gave it in brief: “I see before me a panorama picture of the whole world. I can view at the same time the forests of New England, the rolling prairies and valleys of the Mississippi, the mountains and deserts of the west and the rich fertile valleys of the far west. From the timber claims of the north to the cotton plantations of the south, and dotted here and there I recognize the familiar faces of the members of the class of 1910. I can mane out Henry Gednev in a field near Hoppersville, Mont, (named after our friend Albert Hopper who operates a 10,000 acre chicken ranch near there). He is harvesting a crop of alfalfa using the most modern up to date machinery, so that with the assistance of Walter Ahlquist (noted as the fastest hay stacker in the world) he is able to cut, season and bale 500 bales of hay per day. Here truly is one who planted the seed for the crop he is now harvesting when he gave his senior oration at the High School. And while we are looking west let’s take a peep at Reno. There we shall surely find some of the old time crowd. Yes, sure enough. There’s Kenneth Guthrie and Maude Moxoti in the heat of a one sided divorce suit. That is, she wants her freedom and he’s perfectly willing1 that she shall have it. Too bad, they’ve lived ten years together so happily. But I can hardly blame either. Reno reminds me. I wonder if Woodsy is still up in Salt Lake City. Yes. he must be. for there seems to be more life than ever along Woods Ave. Yes, he’s coming down the Street now. Ah! he must be happy in the life he leads. See how they follow him about. There’s Emily Reid and Myrtle Martin coming after him now. And Katy Anderson just leaving the third cottage. O! there must be something on for out of every house up and down the avenue comes one of Woodsy’s wives. There’s Grace Leary and Minnie Wyatt (1 should say Mrs. Minnie Woods) and Mary Clampit Wood all making for the temple where a meeting of some kind is being held. He leads them to his private pew where are assembled seven other wives, making thirteen in all. Pretty good for Woodsy; but we’ll leave leave him with them and take a look around town.” Here LaRue opened the small square box and took therefrom, what to me looked like a piece of common ore but he told me it was a chip off of Halley’s comet which passed about the time we graduated and on which were reflected many interesting incidents which had to do with our class. He handed it to me and instructed me as to how to use it. I gazed into one end and saw there the interior of the Garrick Theatre. A very heavy drama was in progress and the climax had just been reached when Paul Frank as Signor DeCastro. the hero, thrust a sword through the body of the villian played by Sir Harry I. Jeffries and rescued the heroine Helen Dinsmore in the nick of time. Then followed the chorus of fifty voices led by the greatest of all grand opera singers. Miss Myrtle Denney. The curtain dropped and the orchestra of eighty pieces conducted in a magnificant manner by Prof. William Durrell Hatpasture assisted by Miss Gruenewald played an overture of his own composition. Following this was a quartet by the Allisons and Beauchamps in which Mamie took the 2nd bass, Arthur carried first and—well it was mostly bass. They received hearty applause and responded four times and would have gone on again but Mamie stepped on Arthur’s heel and they had to send for a wheeling chair which was unavoidably delayed so they continued with the program. Keefe and Fred Arthur did well in their drunken comedian stunts and Anna Caldwell as a toe dancer was the very personification of grace. I never was so surprised tho as when Ben Denny was introduced as a clog dancing comedian and covered himself with glory such a hit did he make with the audience! I was looking over the crowd for familiar faces when my eyes fell on George Feazell and Nahama Hurwitz seated near the front. It could not be that they were married for that’s not like George, so I figured it out that he was just out for a lark and perhaps she had been sent along as chaparon to keep the girls from flirting with him. Over in the box I could see a stir of some kind going on and when I got m3' sights adjusted I could see that they were pulling down part of the building for some reason or other and so I watched. When a section of the wall about 2 yards long had been removed, a party of six people entered and to my surprise I recognized Alma Story and Virgil Scott and also Charles McDonald with Hobertine Angelo. I suppose they have been following the theater ever since the “Rivals was pulled off by that renowned senior cast way back in 1910. The last to enter I could not make out, but now I could see the cause for all the commotion. She wore a hat which they claimed was the largest in existance, even larger than one she wore during our Junior year at school, for as soon as it was removed I recognized Lillian Rossiter at once and its removal exposed to view Vern Tremblett, but he was forced to walk so far to one side that Tou wouldn’t have known he was Nvith her. I received another shock of sur- prise when Lloyd Ross as manager of the troupe annonced that the lucky number for that week was held by Earl Wheeler and he came forward to claim the 5 dollars in gold, which, I should judge from his appearance, he needed badly. The manager also announced the program for the following week which included Faye Vasconcellos in her characteristic dances and poses and Foutch, Ellis and Bryson who have been creating such a sensation lately by their dancing and singing. Also Mazie Roberts in her comic chalk talks and Mollenbrok the marathon hot air specialist. I had been so interested in the pictures of the crystal that I did not know of LaRue’s departure from the room so when I now glanced up I was surprised to find myself alone. I surveyed the room and my attention was attracted to the incense urn in the corner. The thin curl of smoke seemed to take on the form of a person and as it became plainer I recognized Lora Lewis. I was so dumbfounded I could not speak. I motioned to her but she put out her hand and simply said in a feeble voice, “I am going away”, and gradually she grew thinner and thinner until at last she disappeared. This rather frightened me so I summoned the servant and asked for LaRue. I was shown to the roof of the house and there I found him engaged in conver- sation with our old class mate Charlie Home, who had just arrived in his latest model airship. He told us the sad story of Ches Hemphill. How after graduating from Illinois University, he had come to Boston and found out his rich relatives who soon died leaving him a millionaire. How he had fallen in love with an attractive actress. Miss Upp, and had made arrangements for the marriage just the day before and how the morning papers had given the account of his speculations in cotton and the subsequent loss of his entire fortune. But the sad part, the bride did not show up at the wedding, and Ches—poor fellow—was left penniless and no chance to get himself a wife. Homesy was in no hurry and so he offered to take me home in the machine. I willingly consented and soon we were flying ten thousand feet above the hurry and bustle of the hot New York streets. “It is interesting to note how rapidly these machines have developed,” I said to open the conversation. Homesy replied, “Yes, my partner in the business. Bob Reid—perhaps you remember him - has one about ready to sail to Europe. He will carry along with him our old friend Mr. Nichols, who is backing us. and a party of Jacksonville girls Miss Andrews, Miss Reese. Miss Richards and Miss Emmy Scott. They expect to stop sometime to attend the air ship and auto races at Paris where Harry Craig is counted on to uphold the honor of America in the race for the $10,000 Rutherford cup. which was presnted bp the rich Miss Rutherford of Cincinnati. They also expect to see Ruthie McLaughlin at the St. Mary’s convent where she holds the responsible position of Mother Superior.” We had a few minutes to spare so drove around to Coney Island and there met Verna Smith and Martha Simpson taking in the sights together. We took them in and went for a ride across the Island. Verna said she was hungry, so when I spied a peanut stand below, we descended and found to our delight Bessie Struck keeping store. She would not take any money for the eatings but told us that while we were meeting old friends we could see Jean Taylor in the role of Juliet at the Knickerbocker that night and gave us Sallie McKinney’s address. I was delighted to hear that Florence McFall had married one of the Vanderbilts and was doing great things as a settlement worker. We left the ladies and returned to the city where I had the pleasure of dining with Mr. and Mrs. Reid (formerly Miss Grace Roberts) and that night we attended the Grand Opera where we were all charmed with Ed Smith’s grand interpretation of Loengrin’s immortal Swan song.
