O Pwl M 1914 (Hass 3listorv ONCE upon a time, years and years ago, a large number of children lived together in a cave in a large and impenetrable forest. They had been sent there by the four winds, and cared for by four good fairies- They were very happy, indeed, in their home until one day an Orge appeared before them and said, Dear children, the time has come when you must journey forth to seek your fortune in a wonderful land called the world. There are two roads leading to it, one is short and easy, but a few steps from this cave. However, any one choosing this way, enters this strange land entirely unprepared to fight its monsters— his success in winning his fortune will depend upon chance. The other way leads through the vast forest that stretches before your cave; it is a tortuous, elusive path beset with unknown dangers and pit-falls. The forest itself, abounds with witches who will use their magic to trap and devour you. Each day they will give you food from which you will gain strength to trudge the weary way. Each, who im-merges victorious into the great world, by an armour of great wisdom.” After the Orge had disappeared, one hundred and twenty-five of the cave children elected to take the forest road, and, on September 19, 1910, we entered the dark and dismal wilderness together. At the first turn in our path a great firy Dragon came rushing out of his cave and in rumbling tones demanded our names. “Ah! Children,” he roared, “make sure that you eat heartily of the bitter fruit which the witches give you, for without its strength you will be powerless in the trials which the witches design for you.” Lashing his tail, the dragon rushed back into his underground cavern and with trembling knees and quaking hearts we began our journey along the unknown path. It did not take us long to find that the Orge had not deceived us about the path. Many trials each day confronted us and the witches always stood by and forced us to eat and eat of the bitter fruit on the trees. After a time it became necessary for us to organize in some way, and so we caught three of the band and tied bells around their necks that they might lead us. We called Fay Mitchel our president, Robert Capps, vice-president, and Bess Pyatt, secretary and treasurer. One day as we were standing about under a large tree, a large brown burr dropped down from the tree into our midst. It burst, and to our surprise out hopped a jolly little brownie, who began to dance about and sing merrily. “My name is Buland, how do you do? How would you like me to travel with you ?” Almost before he had stopped singing one of our members had belled him for our own- Many a dark spot has been made brighter and many a trial made less by his presence in these years. We had found three other bands roaming in the forest who each had colors to distinguish them. We chose Black and Gold which ever since have waived triumphantly above the colors of the other bands. It was only a short time after this that one of our scouts discovered a mossy little Reynolds glen where Everet and Myrtle grow, and arranged with the fairies for a revel to be held there for us. We were a happy band, indeed, dancing about and dining upon rose petals and dew, until the moaning and groaning of the emmaciated and famine-stricken Sophomore band broke upon our light-heartedness. Filled with pity at their starved condition we brought them in and gave them the first good meat they had had since entering the wilderness. Their humility sent a glow to our hearts as they marched away singing the praises of the Black and Gold. A few more turns along the path and we came to a large cleared place. Around the edge of the clearing sat the witches chuckling with wicked glee. The time had come to test our strength which depended upon whether or not we had eaten heartily of the fruit which the witches had offered us. Horrible were the feats they had devised for us to perform as we crossed the clearing. Even with the witches prodding us on with their spikes some fell exhausted to the ground. Those of us who survived in these trials were met on the other side of the clearing by the dragon who once more wrote our names in his book, and our second year in the wilderness began. We had not passed many stones in our pathway until our good brownie called us together and we tied the bells on Homer Reed for our president, Robert Strawn for vice-president, and Warren Maddox for secretary and treasurer. The bells of these leaders skillfully lead us thru the many dangers and perils of that year. At last it was again time to meet together in a revel and rejoice with each other. Our brownie waved his wand, spoke the magic word, and Ruth Badger’s dwelling was prepared for the assembling. In spite of the fact that some of the Junior band tried to drown us in their attempt to get some of our food, we had plenty to eat, and the results of the water were not serious- Through the many weeks that followed until the end of the second year, we grew stronger and more able to undergo the trials of the witches. Early in this third year, shortly after we had chosen our new leaders Harlan Williamson for president, Warren Madox vice-president and Francis Rand for secretary and treasurer, we heard their bells jingling off in some unknown region. As usual, we followed the calling, and were led to a great beautiful fairy house, where Harlan Williamson abided. All the good fairies and brownies surely had been at work, for such a jolly party we had not enjoyed since the beginning of our journey. Before long we learned that all former Junior tribes had given a big jubilee for the Senior tribe. Our brownie had told us of a large hollow tree trunk where he lived and which he called Colonial Inn. Here the two tribes met on a bright moonlight evening and dined in glee on the richest of dainties. A few more turns in our path and we came to a high peak where we stood and watched the Senior band pass out of the wilderness ito the world beyond, leaving us the oldest and best band in the forest. Here we began our fourth and last year in the forest with a strong band of 81. Each year some from our 125, wearied from their many trials, had taken a short cut from the forest into the great world. Never in the Junior year had we heard Harlan Williamson’s bells jingling off the right path, so we let him keep the bells and lead us through the trials and joys of this year. Leonard I. Wood as vice-president and Bess Pyatt as secretary and treasurer have worked for us as no others could. One day our band stood watching a beautiful lily bud. Slowly it began to open and out slipped a light fairy. Waving her wand she danced about singing sweetly “0 here I am fairy Scott, Always to help you, may I not?” At every new turn of difficulty our fairy has been at hand with her magic wand to make it come right in the end. In this last year so many things have happened that Eugene Sutherd has had it all written down in a big book called the “Crimson J.” Our good fairy told us how to give FO I JML O M a play, “At the End of the Rainbow,” and the magic was wonderful in entertaining the other tribes. The weeks past and the Junior tribe gave a big party for us when their fairies spread before us all the riches of the land- Here we said goodby to the Juniors, for soon we were to leave them to explore in the forest. For four years in the contests with other forests (for there were many others) our members have taken high honors. In foot ball, basket ball, track, debating, plays, literary societies, music clubs and in the Nautilus work our members could scarcely have taken more active parts. Now as we stand at the very edge of the wilderness and look back it was not such a hard path after all. The witches, after four years of acquaintance, we found to be good witches and often played the part of the fairies for us. The dragon was not such a terrible monster after we knew him, in fact, his heart was big and he loved us dearly. The fruit too, grew less bitter, and we even relished some of it. So it is that we look back over our journey and think of it with joy and happiness. After we had crossed the last clearing we were summoned before the cave of the good old fairy dragon. Spent with our years of struggle, filled with awe at the presence of so great a one, we have stood before him while he read our records in the Big Book. To each of us who have satisfied him he will tomorrow present a certificate of great wisdom, our armor against the world. The shining land we have striven so hard to prepare for lies a dazzling return before our eyes, and may we live happy ever after. Z31)e future of tl)e UnvincibUs ONE day early in the summer of 1928, as I was walking along Broadway, New York some one exclaimed, “Well, old man, how are you?” Looking around 1 saw the most gorgeous looking individual, dressed in a white suit and a cap with gold lace on it. A second look showed me that it was my old class mate Kenneth Berryman,“Why, hello Kenneth,” I exclaimed, “Did you drop from the clouds?” “Yes.” he answered, “For I am commander of the airship, Flying Gull, and I just landed.” “I am going to hear the worlds greatest tenor sing to-night. Better come along.” I decided I would, so I went that night to the Vernon Theatre, managed by Quintal and Fox. Imagine our surprise when the great tenor appeared, to find that he was no other than Frank Gruenewald. After the program we went up and renewed our acquaintance with Fi'ank. He insisted that we go out to supper with him, and so we went to the Kandy Kafe, owned by Claus and Christi-son. While we were sitting there enjoying our roast duck and pie a la mode, who should walk in but Officer Widmayer, of the New York night force. We of course asked him to sit down and tell us about himself and his life. He said he liked the life alright, but just the other day he had to arrest Una Nunes and Reecy Oliver for throwing bricks through the windows during a suffragett parade, and it nearly broke his heart. As it was now rather late, Kenneth and I decided to retire for the night- So bidding Frank and Charles goodnight, we proceeded to the Harlan Hotel, where we were going to stay for the night. We had a short chat with Mr. Williamson, the proprietor of the hotel before turning in. The next morning Kennith said, “I am starting on a coast to coast trip this morning. Want to come along?” I told him I would be delighted to, and soon we were sailing through the crisp morning air. We had not gone far until -I saw a queer looking craft, marked “Hungry Halley”, coming towards us. “Who is that fellow?” I asked. Kenneth looked and replied, “Oh, that nusiance, that is the fellow who was Student Athletic Manager when we graduated, you know.” Close behind Halley was a very large ship filled with gorgeously dressed women. Kenneth explained that this was a suffragette ship going to England. It was commanded by Floy Crane, and other prominent members of the company were Mildred George, Katie Clarkson, Lillian Groves, Irene Hadden and Ruth Irving. The next craft that we met was a busy looking ship, from which a banner floated, which said, “The Morning Air’ edited by George Coe and L. I. Woods.” We were now nearing Chicago, our next stop and we decided to sail slowly over Lake Michigan and watch the motor boat race, which was just starting. When the race was at its height we were sailing directly over the leading boat, when suddenly we heard a familiar voice yell, “Sit down! Your rocking the boat!” It was Roland Kiel and Roy Lomb, and they won out in the race. The boat coming in second was commanded by Homer Paschall and Leonard P. Woods. We landed in Chicago and found Alma Mackness and Helen Mathis running a Manicure Parlor and Hospital for pet cats on Michigan Ave- A little farther down the street was Hillerby’s Ten Cent Store. Bertha Lucas and Nelle Self had positions in this sjtore. We went to an opera that night entitled “Babes in Toy-land” and saw Margaret Strandberg and Marguerite Stein-metz playing the title roll, and they were certainly fitted for the part. While in Chicago we learned that Gladys Uzzel was Governor of Illinois, and Marian Miller was her secretary. Frances Kolp, Marguerite Pires and Lila Roberts also had offices in the capitol building. We saw Albert Lee, who was telegraph operator for the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul R. R. Co. We had quite a chat with him, and he told us we ought to go to Jacksonville and see some of our old friends there. Helen Miller, he said, was the leading society lady in Jacksonville, and that Grace Potter and Helen Morris were dancing teachers at Illinois College, and they would not think of leaving the old town. Fanny Motchmann was Mrs. Koch’s able assistant, and Harold Pei’bix was principal of the J. H. S. We were sorry we did not have time to visit Jacksonville, but we were due in Denver soon, and so had to be sailing. We left so early the next morning that we had no time to eat breakfast, so upon sighting the Areo Lunch Counter, we stopped for breakfast. Marian UpDeGraff and Irene Hall were on the ship, so we had for breakfast some of the doughnuts like those we used to eat while in old J. H- S. Nothing else happened between here and Denver, except that we met Russel McDonald and Geary Whitlock getting reels for a moving picture company. Arriving at Denver, we bought a paper to see what we could do to pass the evening. In great headlines we saw, “International Debate on a ‘Universal Haircut for Men and Women.’” Affirmative: Weber, Nesmith and Chipchase. We thought we would go, but on turning the page we saw “Leurig will present at his moving picture show a great vaudeville act, in which Sooy, the National Vaudeville Clown, will participate.” We decided we would go to neither of them, and started out for a stroll. We met Chas. Drury, the famous newspaper reporter and he was almost heartbroken. He said his old friend Bob Foster, had fallen in love and was going to leave him and get married. Charles also told us that Harrison Dickson was hunting elephants in India, and expected to bag some big game. A little farther we met the Duchess of Marlborough, formerly Lillian Carter. She told us that Hazel Bryson, Veva Crim and Helen Craig owned and were running a series of tea parlors in England and France. The next day we went to the base-ball game between Denver and Los Angeles, and found Raymond Spears playing short-stop on the Los Angeles team while Eugene Sutherd was manager and pitcher for the Denver nine. We had a talk with the boys, and Raymond told us that Bess Pyatt and Ruth Badger were starting a kindergarten school in Los Angeles. We now left Denver for San Francisco, the end of our journey, arriving at San Francisco we went out to view the beach and there was Stella Seymour and Margaret Clampit managers of the life saving crew. They had to their credit the honor of saving the life of a small spitz dog. They told us that Evalina Martin and Edith Sibert were teaching the Chinese, Stenography in Kalamazoo. From the beach we went out to the Gladstone Public Library, and Ethel Smith the head librarian, showed us some interesting literature, among which were some of the works of the great Californian poetess, Clara Robinson. We soon tired of the Library and started back up town. On the way we passed a neat little floral establishment, conducted by Grace Hembrough and Leila Potter. We next went out to view the race course along the beach and here was Warfield Brown practicing with his famous Brush Racer. He was expecting to compete in the next big race. Here we also met Carl Hemple and learned that he was seriously contemplating a trip from San Francisco to Denver on a bicycle. Carl told us that Esther Meyer and Anna Weber had taken up aviation and. won fame and honor in that line. Kenneth decided very suddenly to enter in the International Aviation Race which was to be run off at San Francisco in a few days. He at once went to Marian Williamson, Vice President of the Aviation Club and registered his entry. We then started back toward the center of the town. On our way back we met a great floral parade. It was the grandest sight I had ever seen. The center attraction was an automobile banked with roses and lilies and in the center sat Marie Wiswell dressed to resemble a wild rose. She did not notice us, so we passed on and soon reached our hotel. The next morning Kenneth and I bade each other farewell and he went to tune up his machire for the big race, while I boarded the train for dear old New York. —M. C. Reynolds. CLASS POEM. The time has come when we must part, And go our separate ways, And as we go, our thoughts turn back, To former happy days. To Buland and Miss Scott, we owe A general vote of thanks, And also Harlan Williamson, The leader of our ranks. We know our class is very rare, For seldom do we trace, Fox, Martin, Badger, Crane and Lamb (Lomb) Into so great a place. If you Wood Potter and Potter around, With Spears and Cannon to aid, You wouldn’t see more (Seymour) who are bright, In all your escapade. We stand for industry as well, For Millers we have two, And without our Berryman, We don’t know what we’d do. We’ve fostered a spirit in our minds, And tried to Clampit there, That is, of being trustworthy, And always acting fair. We have a second Irving, too, And also a second Lee, And if it wasn’t for Perbix and Keil, How dreary ( Drury) it might be. So as we finally take our leave, Of dear old J. H. S., We turn to give just one last look, To the school we love the best- —Clara Robinson, ’14. CLASS SONG. I We love our dear old High School, And a.s time has come to part We can’t explain the feeling That comes into our hearts. It’s hard to leave our class mates And all our teachers, too; We’ve had grand times together, And to J. H. S. we’ll be true. CHORUS Then give three cheers for red and white, And for our class colors too. We’ll cheer for them with all our might, And boast of them always to you. Here’s to the class of ’14, Largest class ever seen. As the last farewell draws nigh To J. H. S. goodbye. II At the End of the Rainbow, our class play, Which Miss Scott trained so well. We gave it on the first of May, Oh how the tickets did sell. We made a success of “Crimson J,” Gene and his faithful few. The same of the Nautilus, so they say, With Coe and Ruth Badger, too. Ill Then our debaters with Bob and Ordrain, Of the rest we’re just as proud ; They fought both sides with might and main, May our praises be long and loud. We were victorious in football, With Berryman, Sutherd and Spears; The Tournament held in Strawn’s hall Caused broken hearts and tears- —Grace Potter, ’14 THE LAST WILL ANI) TESTAMENT OK THE CLASS OF 1914, JACKSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL. The Jacksonville High School was very quiet. The under-classmen were going around talking in hushed voices. They had just heard something that almost appalled them. The SENIORS were going to leave them! The Lawyer had come out of the sick-room, and quietly railed them to order, and as he read their last Will and Testament, they were further convinced of the extensive loss to themselves and to the school.

HAPPY HOOLIGAN SEAL HUNGRY HALLEY JUDGE OF SUPERIOR COURT. THE SENIOR PLAY. May the first was indeed a day of excitement and great events, for that evening the Senior Class gave their play “At the End of the Rainbow.” Of course it was a success in every way, for every one of the cast were determined to do their best and every one of the Seniors did their best in getting behind the play and boosting. “At the End of the Rainbow” is a refreshing college play, portraying college life. The setting is laid at the University of Illinois during the foot-ball season. Leonard, as Ted was the ideal foot-ball hero, and Harlan as Douglas played the game not only for the College but for the girl, just like real life. Homer and Helen as Bob and Marion played their parts to perfection and the bride and groom brought much laughter from the audience. The great success was due to the hard work of each member of the cast. Too much credit cannot be given to Miss Scott, our ’oach, who worked so faithfully with the cast, for without her efforts the play would have failed. Robert Preston. Douglass Brown Jack...........

Being an industrious kind of students they set about to do great things, and successfully accomplished their aim. Firstly, they chose unto themselves a leader, and a wise band of counsellors, who led the mighty tribe from victory to victory. And in order that the tribe might not become weary and their busy life monotonous, they planned a great festival And there was dancing and music. And lo! so generous and wise were these mighty people that they planned a great festival for their neighboring tribe, the Seniors. And in a social way this tribe did conquer. Verily they were a wondrous people. Although after all, the credit is not all due to the tribe nor the wise leader, nor his counsellors, but to their advisors, who were always ready to help them over the rough plains in their journey, and were never too tired to advise them wisely and well.

JUNIORS THE SOPHOMORE CLASS No one can say of the Sophomore Class that they have not lived up to the pledge of every J. H. S. student “to support every school activity.” When they first entered the doors of the Jacksonville High School, it is true they were a motley crowd, but they were uncermoniously dumped into the melting pot of school life and are now being molded into a class, which we know J. H- S. will be proud of. They have already taken active part in not only supporting student activities but they have also taken active part in making student activities. The least that can be said of the class of 1916 is that they are “up and going.” CLASS OFFICERS President......................................Dorothy Rogerson Vice President...........................................

You know we have more students than any other class. How many have we? Why we have one hundred and fifty. Do you know that we have two men on the Track Team, and that we have some members in the Debating Class? “Anne of Old Salem” had a representative from our class too. Look at Byron Carpenter, president of the Adelphian, and others with important offices. Oh, maybe we haven’t done so well as the other classes in being in things, but we have been right there on the boosting, now haven’t we?” We acknowledge that this is true.

There is no activity in the school which does not come under this organization. There are, generally speaking, three great departments in the Association: the Literary, Athletic and Musical Departments, each of which is in itself thoroughly organized and between which there is absolutely no friction. The interest and enthusiasm of the student body in every activity has been greatly increased, and the membership of this organization has reached proportions never acquired by the old Student’s Association. As to the financial end, for which purpose it was largely organized, we may say that it has fully accomplished its end. The whole debt of the previous year has been paid, and the prospects are, that not only will finances come out even, but that a surplus will be on hand.

Program Com. Chr. Social Com. Chr. Editorial Com. Chr. Music Com. Kenneth Berryman Frank Merrill Ruth Chipchase Eugene Sutherd Helen Wintler George Coe Edith Hillerby When the students Literary and Athletic Association was formed it was decided to divide it, as equally as possible, into two Literary societies instead of having separate societies for the boys and girls as before. Two captains, Miss Uzzell and Mr. Williamson, were chosen and they drew in turn, to form the two societies. The division of which Miss Uzzell was captain held a short meeting and voted to adopt the name of Forum. Then came the election of the officers. In this a ballot similar to the official ballot was used and the election was conducted in a very business like way. In this way every member had the opportunity to vote, and also to become familiar with the proper method of voting. The first regular meeting was held on Friday, November 14, and was attended by a very good crowd. One of the most interesting programs was held on February 14. The high school building was decorated with hearts and large posters. A very unique Valentine program was carried out, after which light refreshments were served. At each of the society meetings some one, not connected with the high school, was asked to act as critic. In this way the members were shown their weak points so they could improve them. Miss Keuchler, the faculty advisor, certainly did her part in the work and upbuilding of the society. The members of the Forum are to be congratulated on having such a ready, willing and capable advisor.

Sargeant at Arms Byron Carpenter Carie Mackness Helen McDonald Marie Wiswell Helen Harney Helen Struck John Collins Clay Killibrew After the students had been divided into two societies, the one of which Mr. Williamson was leader had several call meetings and chose for their name the Adelphians. After naming the society, the next important thing which was done was the election of officers. It was decided to have an election twice a year. The officers chosen for both terms were well qualified for their positions, and served the society to the best of their ability. The first regular meeting was held Friday evening November 21, 1913. The main feature was a debate by the members on the electric lighting system of Jacksonville. A student was asked to act as critic and in this manner the weak points were shown in order that they might be improved. One of the most pleasing programs given by the Adelphian was a musical program which was presented on February 5th, and was greeted by a record-breaking audience. The most popular number on the program was a chorus from “Princess Bonnie.” This was given by a number of the high school girls in costume. Another interesting program was given in honor of St. Patrick’s Day at which the Irish customs were carried out. After the meeting, delicious refreshments were served in the library and rest room. Too much credit cannot be given Miss Cafky, our faculty advisor. She has brought the society to the place in which it stands and her untiring efforts deserve many thanks. So here’s to the Adelphians. May the coming year be as bright a one for it as the past has been.

Owing to lack of time, however, he was obliged to give up the position to Mr. Fred Goodrich, at the beginning of the second semester. Mr. Goodrick did some excellent work during the basket-ball tournament, and soon convinced everyone that he was capable of holding the position. With the excellent work of Mr. Goodrick and the cooperation of the members, we should have a band that any high school could be proud.

FLOYD WILLIAMSON The work in declamation was started early this year under the direction of Miss Marie Scott and Miss Jeanette Taylor. There were nine contestants in the preliminaries and from these Floyd Williamson was chosen for first place and Miss Helen Harney second. Mr. Williamson was to represent us in the W. I. H. S. L. meet, while Miss Harney was to speak for the red and white at Griggsville. Mr. Williamson was the seventh speaker on the program at the W. H. S. L. meet. His delivery and enunciation was perfect and he held the audience throughout his speech-As may be expected it was a great disappointment to learn that he had only received third honors. Mr. Williamson will be with us next year and with the other good material there is in the school we hope to have a wining declaimer. “ANNE OF OLI) SALEM.” “Anne of Old Salem” was presented by the following east on December 18, 19, 1913.

During the past four years he has been with us, he has shown his great ability along that line by turning out several championship teams. He has coached three champion football teams, two champion track teams and two champion basket-ball teams, during his four years as coach of J. H. S. So here’s hoping that “Harry” will be with J. H. S. again next year. FOOTBALL ('apt. James Haigh The Foot-ball season of 1913 was one of the most successful J. H. S. has witnessed for several years. The team was in no doubt, the best team in Central Illinois and too much thanks cannot be given to Coach Buland for his ability to create a championship team out of raw material in one season. Out of the eight games played, only one ended in defeat, which was with Peoria Central at their city. The defeat was caused by nearly half the first team players being on the sick list. Much enthusiasm was shown when the strong Peoria Manual team was defeated, because by wining this game, J. H. S. won the championship of Central Illinois. As a few players were Seniors, we may expect something greater next year. ? f I 1 I I ! I ■?' -J- If? FOOTBALL TEAM FOOTBALL SCHEDULE J. H- S. 13..................................Alton 0 J. H.

A hard and willing worker. He is one of those fellows that is in every thing and does his best. A Senior. Geary Whitlock, “Jerry”.—Half back. Weight, 142 pounds. Was a great help to the team. He was good in any position and done his best. A Senior. BASKET BALL. CAPT. DALE BOXELL The Basket-ball team of 1913-14 was not what one might call a championship team, although considering the raw material from which Coach Buland had to mould a team, we can almost call it a championship team. Our schedule contained 14 games, of which 8 were victories, and 6 defeats. Our team started out winning their first two games, but as the season came near an end, they weakened, because of the loss of Capt. Boxell and three other first team players. The team was one of the best J. H. S. has ever had, to put up a hard scrapping game. With Reynolds in at center and E. Pyatt and Boxell at forwards, with J. Pyatt and Smith at guards, things were made mighty lively to the opponents. But as all of our players were Juniors this year, we expect a much stronger and faster team for next year.

It was exciting from start to finish, there being twenty-one of the fastest teams in Western Illinois competing. Although we did not win the tournament, we had one of the snappiest and fastest teams on the floor. We started out by defeating Alton by a score of 27 to 23 which was a fast and interesting game. Our next game was with Mt. Sterling, and we easily defeated the Orange and black boys by a score of 29 to 15. Our third game was with the strong Canton team, who proved to be our superiors by a score of 22 to 21. We r.ow had but one chance left to come to the front, and that was by defeating Springfield. But we seemed to have hard luck in this game and were defeated by a decisive score that ended our chances. But under the circumstances and hardships that we played against, we could not expect anything different. The four teams left to compete for the championship were: Canton, Pittsfield, Springfield and Granite City. Granite City won by a small score and went off of the floor with the honors of being the strongest team in Western Illinois. The tournament was a success from several different standpoints. It brought teams together that had never competed against each other before. And all the teams showed a good spirit toward one another. There were no hard feelings and no serious squabbles between any of the teams or players. TRAC K TEAM CAPT. WILFORD CARTER The Track Season was practically ended after the W. I. H. S. L. Meet, except for the State Meet held at Champaign on May 15th and 16. Although the track team was not successful in the W. I H. S. Meet on May 1, because of the absence of Cannon, they proved to be victorious in the Tri-City meet with Springfield and Beardstown on April 17. Our relay team was the greatest success in the track work, winning the Tri-City relay and Western Illinois relay. The track team was composed of H. Reynolds, E. Reynolds, M. Reynolds, W. Hembrough, G. Whitlock, J. Cannon, E. Sutherd, W. Carter, Captain C. Killebrew, J. Rule, D. Boxell. TRACK TEAM Xbvi (Tit? 5ZZect, -April 18, 1914 SPRINGFIELD 44, BEARDSTOWN 34 ANI) JACKSONVILLE 48.

S. was forced to take third place after their star, Cannon was withdrawn, but with his presence the team would easily have won first place.
