(Hass 7l‘fistorv What boy or girl either, would not be an Indian for a while, when he thinks of the freest life in the world? This life was mine,—but only for a very short time. I can just remember, while in our Eighth Grade hunting ground, the excitement of a real hunt for the fearsome germ animals and the massacre of the huge grammar bears. WTe feared nothing but the “Big Knives” as we called the white men of the High School. I was scarcely old enough to know anything definite about them, when they began to treat us with cruelty, driving us, the Eighth Grade Tribe, from our happy hunting ground into complete subjugation. Now the savage philosophers of our tribe, who had many a long conversation with the “Big Knives,” said they were a dominating race but generally kind to captives, especially “Principal of Peace” Stoops into whose hands we had fallen. I remember well our first mass meeting with the “Big Knives.” They all assembled in a big hall called the Chapel. “Principle of Peace” Stoops led the council. He told us of glorious victories and triumphs awaiting us in this new world if we only studied in the different books and departments of the school, but he warned us of complete defeat and disaster if we failed to study. When the meeting broke up, we wandered around, hunting the lodges given to us to visit. A beautiful wise woman told us a legend of long ago national victories and catastro-phies of the powerful tribes, the Greeks, Latins, and Romans. In another lodge that we entered, a serious medicine man presided and gave orders, telling us to study a lesson called mathematics. m 'AJIn- =□ ■naJW vv VV- n R11 M SON Many days passed like this one and new interests came up. A tribe of warriors, called Foot-ball men, fought foreign tribes in pitched battles, winning many big victories. My own individual Freshman tribe met and elected “Big Chief” Allen Smith to lead us in peace and war, “Sleepy Soul” Strawn as right hand man to the Chief, and Dorothy Kitner as money keeper, with “Demi-Goddess” Rogerson and “Grave Eagle” Morrison as our faculty advisors. The older captives seemed happy and free, and we lost our restless feeling when they promised to be kind to us if we were quiet. Our big war dance of the year was at Catherine Carter’s wigwam. We had much big eats, and a mysterious gipsy of unknown origin told us our past and future history. In spring, we were given a three months vacation, and we promised to reassemble at the old meeting ground in the fall. Our second year was under a new chief, “Principal Gingling Thunder” Gore. When he took charge, he changed the order of things completely, making many friends even with his strict ruling. At his orders, a new chief and several assistants were elected to lead one big tribe, which he called the Students’ Literary and Athletic Association. The smaller tribes and societies were abolished, and a new spirit invaded the school; class distinction was thrown to the wind and complete democracy reigned throughout the school. We ended our football season with many big war whoops in a Carnival at the meeting grounds, for our combined tribe had won the football championship of the State. The 1916 Class celebrated more than the others for we had four men including the captain on that team. After this excitement over the football situation had abated, we met from all four corners of the building and conducted a quiet business like meeting, the first meeting of our Students’ Association. In the autumn “Law and Order” Collins succeeded “Jingling Thunder,” as Principal, for now “Jingling Thunder” Gore was “All High” Superintendent of the schools. But even these severe gentlemen permitted us, the Sophomore tribe, to assemble at the meeting ground and go for a hay ride to Injun Fred Leach’s wigwam, to dance around the old camp fire and delight in the savage joy of eating between slices of bread, pieces of the murdered enemy of the tribe of Wieners. We finished our second year with nothing more of importance except the division of the big tribe into two literary societies,that were to hold meetings each month. Our Junior year began with steady work, for we were striving toward the next year’s goal, a goal of glorious victory. The most important event of the year was the com- -a!W ■nAJW (ff 'AiU— WV1A m pleting of the big David Prince wigwam, just across from the big High School wigwam. It gave the High School tribes access to the gymnasium. Class tribes, some of warriors, and others of Indian maidens, were formed, and on February 22, 1915 a big exhibition of the many dances and parrallel bar acts was given to the public in honor of Washington’s birthday. Later on we were given a night for a tribe war hunt. This time we went in big bob sleds to Esther Davis’s where we played fearsome games, and had cocoa-fire-water to drink. “Principal Heavy” Stone came to us the last of the year, to remain with us only until vacation. The Senior year of the Tribe began with good hope, but the class had been greatly saddened, for the Mysterious God of the white people had, during the previous year, taken away three of our faithful tribe, among them the president of the class. The football season was a failure, but the Indians fought it to a finish even with defeat staring them in the face, and carnival night we celebrated with a will. Some time after this, the 1916 tribe assembled on the meeting grounds and started on hay racks to go to Lloyd Cully’s wigwam. This time we roasted “Hot Dogs” over a big bon-fire instead of some of the Wiener tribe, for we were less savage now than in our Sophomore year, and had no wish to murder the enemy. The faculty now promised a reward to any one of the four tribes of the High School who sold the most tickets for the minstrel show. Our Senior tribe won the prize, which was in the form of a big banquet. We entered into the basket ball games with the old time vim. I have forgotten to mention the fact that each year after the foot-ball season, five of the High School tribe went on the warpath, not to fight with tomahawks and long knives, but with a big basket-ball, ending the fighting season with a big tournament, which for the last two seasons had been held in the gymnasium of the David Prince School. This particular year four Senior braves and one went forth, and though they did not win laurels in the tournament, they wbn the everlasting praise of the School for their good work. Nothing of great importance followed this, until the month of May, when big events crowded upon us thick and fast. First, a big Interschoolastic Meet occurred on Illinois College campus, and though Springfield braves won first place, we came in second, and were justly proud of it, for we did not have as large a number of fighting braves as they. Our Senior play followed this, and the cast of players though giving an English play, which staged a life utterly different ■nAIW W Aa- CR11M5QN from that of the Indian, were remarkably adapted to their parts. Then last of all came Commencement exercises, in reality, our triumphant celebration for our newly acquired freedom, for after our four long years of captivity, the “All Powerful White” Faculty had decided to grant freedom to all those who had worked faithfully, carrying their burden of captavity as happily and contentedly as possible. We now realized that our captors had many times held out a kindly hand to help us over the rough places in our four years’ course. And though we rather wished we might stay with them, our faces were turned toward a new and yet unknown country—Life—which meant mingling with the outer world people. But we went confidently on our different ways, for our warriors and Indian maidens had been taught to strive to win in this “Battle of Life”, and to struggle on, no matter what the hardships, toward a wonderful goal—Success. 'At — WVftA- it I9lfe. (Tlass jpr°pbecr One morning, early in the spring of 1932, as I was strolling leisurely down Fifth Avenue, a young good-looking fellow rushed past me, and as he did so, looked at his watch and exclaimed, “Gee! Only ten minutes!” I thought there was something familiar about him, and I quickened my pace to satisfy my curiosity. To my astonishment it was Emil Wells. He said he w'as on his way to the dock to meet his old friend,Erwin Ochsner,and the boat would be due in eight minutes. I decided to go with him. He told me that Erwin had gone over in 1917, and joined the German army, where he had proved himself quite a hero. Well, we met him, and he said he had had a fine time in the last seven years. He told us all about how Florence Madden had visited the Kaiser of Germany, and with her same sweet, ever-bewitching smile, that she had always worn while in J. H. S., had won him over to peace, where no one else had succeeded. While we were busy talking, we heard a policeman’s whistle and the cry of a woman. We rushed to where there had been an auto accident. To our horrified surprise, it was Bertha Roberts. Upon asking her if she was hurt much, she replied, “A little, but I have a Cain to help me.” We left the scene and proceeded to the Markillie House, owned and operated by Lola, with Mable Malone and Florence Jordan as assistants, and engaged rooms. Emil and Erwin then started to tell me something about the members of the class of ’16. I first learned that Elsie Reed was a teacher of culinary art at the University of Illinois, and Elizabeth Hem-brough was assisting her. Pearl Allison was instructor in the sewing department, with Ruby Molohon as her assistant, and Ruth Fenstenmaker was a teacher of English at the same place. Erwin told us that Gladys Andre had gone to Paris in 1923, and was now posing as a model for some great painter. While he was relating some of his war stories, he told us of the great care that had been taken of him while in a field hospital, by Catherine Carter, Jean Coulter,and Dorothy Rogerson, who had been Red Cross nurses in the German army at that time. it RS i9ie v Aa— W Aa- Emil said that William Bartlett was a noted writer and that his latest book entitled “How to Obtain and Retain the Affections of the Fair”, was a sure hit. The eighty-fourth thousand edition was now being printed. Max Boxell, Reon Marshall, and Ernest Fernandes, he said, were the star acrobatic performers with the Barnum Bailey Circus, which was still on the road. He also informed us that Marceline Cowgur was teaching a country school near Woodson, and Aileen Fitch was enjoying life, giving dancing lessons at a summer resort in Michigan. Ruth Fitch, he said, was married to a handsome young man, and was situated very comfortably at Beverly Hills, near Chicago. I learned that William Floreth was the greatest magician, hypnotist, crystal gazer, necromancer, and all-round wonder-worker that the world has ever known. John Furry was at the head of a matrimonial bureau, and Wayne Gibbs, a graduate of Normal, was raising hogs on a scientific plan, and had the largest hog farm in the United States. Uriel Gouveia and Edna Hackett had just completed a tour around the world with a musical company, and Alice Johnson owned and controlled a jewelry store in St. Louis, making a specialty of gold rings. Mary LaRue was a style designer in Paris. Her designs were the last word in styles. Edna Leake, he told us, spent most of her time visiting in Carbondale. She visits there twice each year, each visit being of six months’ duration. Helen Haithman was a great orator, and was now traveling through the South, lecturing on “How to Become a Renowned Speaker.” John Martin had also become a rapid fire orator, and his lecture on the “Use of the Cut-out Muffler for Women” carried his audience by storm. Hildagarde Rose was the librarian at the Carnegie Library in Jacksonville, and Clyde Hembrough was her able assistant (at home). Walter White was the sporting editor of the Chicago “Tribune,” and Harry Howard and Frank Hughes were on the staff, Harry being a reporter and Frank, the cartoonist. Isabel Woodman has become quite a reformer. She carried on the good work everywhere, even in the hotels where she stopped. Her first convert was a Porter. Several of our old class had gone into the movies. Some of the leading stars of 1932 were Esther Agnew, Ruby Cully, Alene Dugger, Helen Obermeyer, Russel Pinkerton, and June Pond. T C -MW ■ AlW vtfU- v AA - R.II M SOW 44 Emil had just finished telling us about Richard Hiller-by’s giving tatting lessons at the I. W. C. in Jacksonville, when a great commotion started outside. We went out to see what was the matter and saw that a large office building just across the street was on fire. The fire department had just arrived, and imagine our surprise, when we saw Fred Leach and Clarence Siegfried managing the engine, and Merrill Cruzan and Harold Day occupying seats on the hook and ladder truck. We hardly knew them in their rubber coats and hats, and were just starting to go over and hail them, when a squad of policemen, not very gently, drove us back to the other side of the street. Erwin, forgetting himself, and Vith a desire to see our old classmates, began a heated argument, when one of the policeman exclaimed “Well, if that ain’t the Kaiser!” Two of the others started at the remark, and upon looking more closely, to our utter astonishment, there we saw Frank Robinson, James Haigh, and Edward Tomlinson in blue uniforms, brass buttons and gold stars. Well, we had quite a chat with them, and after leaving, walked over to see what damage the fire had done, and to be of some assistance if we could. We saw several women walking around the ruins, and upon getting closer, I discerned Esther Davis peering into one of the windows. I told the others, and we went over to where she was, and with her we found Marguerite Corrington, Beulah McMurphy, Helen Paschall, and Nelle Priest. They all had stars on which fact, of course explained itsself. They were policewomen, and said they had been on the force for ten years, and all of them liked their jobs fine. From there, we wandered on down the street, and presently we saw what seemed to be a parade of some kind coming toward us in the middle of the street. As it drew nearer we stopped on the curb to watch it. A large banner floated over them, inscribed with the well-known plea “Votes for Women.” At the head was Zelda Benson, and following in quick succession, were Rhoda Wheeler, Helen Allcott, Gladys Ferreira, and Margaret Waller. None of them recognized us, and we passed on down the street. We heard that there was a big trial on at the Court House. Helen Strandberg had been accused of insanity, because she had been talking to herself every night for a week, in her room at a hotel. We went there and entered the court room. The trial was in progress and, could you be- u 'AiU- vJVV- ]□ iCCR 11 M SOW lieve it, the attorneys were Lloyd Cully for the defense, and Robert Priest for the prosecution. We took seats near the rear, and as we gazed around, Emil cried out, “Will you look over there!” so loudly that the judge rapped for order. Upon following his direction, whom should we see but Verans Coover, Dawson Darley, and Carl Tendick. sitting in the jury box! Well, everything looked as if it were going against Helen, but it was finally proved that the talking that the people had heard was simply her rehearsing her part for a play. She was the leading actress in her company. After the trial, we shook hands with her and our classmates of the jury box. She told us that Estelle Schofield, Grace Theobald, and Grace VanHouten were also famous actresses, Estelle being in her own company. We all decided to go to a vaudeville show to relieve the nervous strain which we had just gone through, and upon looking over some “ads” we discovered in large type “The Lively Lucille’s Love Luring Act”, or “Bolton and Mason’s Latest Hit of 1923.” We thought that sounded familiar and sure enough, when we saw them, they were the same girls that had graduated with us, back in 1916. They played to crowded houses during their entire engagement in New York. Emil, Erwin, and I went back to our hotel, and upon picking up a copy of the “Los Angeles Tribune”, I read out to them an account of the great international auto races that had been run off three days before at Los Angeles. The winner of the trophy was Fount Andrews, who drove a Stutz and made one hundred miles in twenty-eight minutes and forty-nine seconds, a little better than two-hundred miles an hour. The second prize of four hundred and ten thousand dollars was won by Dallas Hagan, who drove a Ford, and came in just three seconds behind Fount, after having lost all four tires. Upon turning the page, I read of a baseball game between the “SanFrancisco Sharks” and the LosAngeles “Whales.” The “Whales” won by a score of one to nothing, Frank Herring being the only one to score. Finding nothing more of interest, and having had a rather strenuous day, we all retired for the night to dream of our adventures, and to live over again our life while students of old J. H.

It matters not what life may hold for me— What joys, what sorrows, in the days to be— If only that my heart may ever find The haven that mine eyes have half divined, Grown ever sweeter with the passing years— The fount of vanished Youth that knew no tears. The devious paths our youthful feet may tread Lead ever to the golden fountain-head Of Memory, gleaned from a far, fair clime, (When Age has claimed its own), that happy time When roses graced our paths, and bird-choirs sang The old, old songs, and every woodland rang With shouts of purest joy—across the world Shall it return again. When Time has furled The banners of our youth, and the dim sun Of Age smiles sadly on a task near done, The mists of dreary years shall roll away, Revealing once again that distant day, Those happy scenes, the ne’er forgotten bloom Of Love’s own roses. Memory’s sacred room Still stores them secret-safe away, and yet How fair they bloom, how sweet their scent, though wet With many tears! The sacred, old, old songs, Though of a day that to another age belongs, Still hold their sweet appeal to the sad heart, And ever sweeter grow. Though we may part, And each may lonely tread his various way, Yet through the maize of passing years, each day Shall see our boyhood friends grown old, as young; And we shall call to them, and in the tongue Of comradship, shall hail them ’cross the world, As in the days of old. Each thrice-blessed pearl Of Memory, gleamed from a far, fair clime, Throughout the many-pillared hall of Time Sends forth its sacred rays to every heart, And with its ever-gentle, soothing art, Pierces with joy, that there, in Memory’s room, The roses of our youth still sweetly bloom As in the days of old. And we rejoice That still, through all the years, an answering voice From those far-distant boyhood friends, still young, Welcomes our world-wide call in the old tongue Of comradship, as in the days of old. —W.

Goodrick, took charge of these two important departments of the High School, they have been better than ever before. Mr. Goodrick came to us in 1914, to direct the band at the Basket Ball Tournament and after his proving his worth at that time, we could not let him go. He is recognized as the leading director in Jacksonville, as well as one of the best in the State. The Band now has a membership of about thirty, all of whom are good musicians. One of its prominent features is a Saxophone Quartette composed of Clifford Obermeyer, Frank Robinson, Porter Corrington, and Dewey Sieber. These young men are all students of Mr. Goodrick. The Band organized with the following officers, who are indeed capable of holding their positions. President................................Byron Carpenter Vice-President.............................Wilbur Rogers Treas., Secy., Librarian, Janitor........Frank Robinson Reporter................................William Bartlett The orchestra is also doing some fine work this year. They are always on the job—society meetings, play, chapel exercises, or any time they are needed. It is true they lose some good members at each commencement, but there are others who are capable as well as willing to step in and take their places. x SAXIPHONE QUARTETTE.

CATHERINE CARTER WILBUR ROGERS CORA CHERRY VINTON WOODS □ [ ]□ Our .Annual (Earnival Cj3 The Annual Football Carnival of J. H. S. was given Thanksgiving evening, Nov. 30, 1915. In spite of the disagreeable weather, the largest crowd in years was present. The different classes were well represented by their candy booths, decorated in the class colors. The Freshman Booth was located on the third floor, at the head of the west stairway. The girls in charge were Frances Leek and Florence Cox. Football pictures were also sold here, and this booth took in more money than any of the others. On the second floor directly facing the main hall, the Sophomore Booth, decorated in blue and gold, was located. Marybeth Fox, Charles Joy, and Virgil Skinner were in charge. The Japanese idea, which was carried out in the Junior Booth was probably the prettiest and most unique. The library was beautifully decorated in Japanese lanterns and fans; a color scheme of purple and gold, the class colors, was well carried out. Coffee, sandwiches and pumpkin pie were served by girls in Japanese costume. Those in charge were Loretta Piepenbring, Irene Smith, Mary Louise Newman, Mildred Waller, Margaret Irving, and Helen Carlson. The Senior Booth, prettily decorated in green and white, was located directly across the hall from the library. The girls in this booth were Lucille Bolton, Elsie Reed, Aileen Fitch, Esther Agnew and Lola Markillie. Denham Harney and Paul Scott as policemen and Claude Cully as a clown, created a great deal of fun among the crowd. Walter White in his clever imitation of Charlie Chaplain also scored a big success. The main feature of the evening as usual, was the “Minstrel Show.” and this year it was a greater success than ever before. Mr. Dale Boxell acted as interlocutor with the following chorus: Gladys Andre, Elsie Reed, Dorothy Smith, Helen Ober-meyer, Edna Hackett, Grace VanHouten, Catherine Carter, Dorothy Rogerson, Uriel Goveia, Max Boxell, Clifford Carlson, Harry Sandberg, Harvey Sandberg, Clarence Siegfried, William Hudson, Denham Harney. Frank Robinson, Russell Pinkerton, Roy Sorrells and Leonard Potter as the end men, made a big hit, and the audience was kept in a constant uproar by their clever jokes (H) 'AAa- c ■nAIW W Aa- If and fun making. The vocal solos by Gladys Andre and Uriel Goveia showed great merit and were greeted with hearty applause. On the whole the Minstrel Show was a great success, and credit should be given those who took part in it. Next on the program came the performance of “The Great Wiliiam” our wonderful magician and slight-of-hand performer. Of course everyone knows him and as a school we are proud to boast of such an unusually talented person. He performed many mysterious and skillful tricks far past our meagre understanding. Clarence Siegfried acted as his assistant. The anticipated “Trip through Hades,” was somewhat spoiled by the heavy downpour of rain. Nevertheless, some of the more courageous ones decided that the rain was only one of the horrors of Hades, and from all reports it was enjoyed to the fullest extent. The “parallel bars” was one of the best liked shows of the evening. Very good work was shown by the boys who took part. Many clever and skillful “stunts” were performed, exhibiting the excellent training which the boys receive in the gymnasium and athletic work. Those taking part were Russell Hull, Reon Marchall, Fred Leach, and Harold Bartlett. Another main attraction was the Fortune Teller’s booth. Here, Miss Ellis with Ruby Cully and Nelle Priest, as two charming “gypsy maid” assistants, told thrilling and satisfactory fortunes to all who came. Last but not least, came the “moving picture show.” This entertainment consisted of a long line of girls carrying pictures across a platform. Those at the head of the Carnival work and on the committees deserve praise for the high class program they presented. At the head were Mr. Carter and Dale Boxell. The following composed the side-show committee: Beulah Mc-Murphy, Helen Allcott, Ruby Cully, Irene Smith, Wilbur Rogers and Dale Boxell. The financial outcome was very satisfactory, especially as the price was lower this year than ever befoi'e. The student’s ticket was twenty-five cents, and that for outsiders thirty-five cents, so, altogether, the Carnival was a decided success. •44 -MW vdW □c 'W- wvv- Z3l)e Commercial JDepartment ?? The growth of the commercial idea in our public schools is based upon, not the foresight of educators, but rather it is a counterpart of our active, and intensified commercial age. It is just as natural for parents to seek training for their children to meet the daily demands, as it is for the parents to struggle with these same problems. The commercial department of the High School was until recently located in some obscure portion of the building. It was looked upon as the hospital ward of the High School. This was the discard for the halt, and the impoverished who were apparently not fit candidates for any of the professions. It is now second to none in its size, equipment, and importance. It is beginning to attract the keenest students and the most alert teachers in the profession. Recently the Commissioner of Education of the state of Massachusetts delivered a striking opinion when he declared, that “bookeeping should be taught as a part of a liberal education.” This is not saying that every boy and girl should be an expert bookkeeper. It does mean that a knowledge of the fundamentals of bookkeeping is of greater practical value to the vast majority of the citizens of U. S. than the knowledge of any other single subject taught in our public schools after Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. Dr. Chas. W. Eliot says, “Education must swing back from the merely classical to the natural and practical.” Manual Training and Domestic Science have established themselves in all well regulated schools. Even conservatives have consented to the “vocational” in our schools. Yet, these same people do not admit that a girl who is going to get married and become the household financier will be benefited more by a knowledge of keeping accounts than by Greek. The wife should know how to cook, sew, and keep books. Our school has been slow to recognize this department, but it is coming. This past year the commercial department of our own school has enrolled more than 200 different students. About fifty students for shorthand and typewriting, and one hundred and fifty for typewriting alone. Five years ago there was no definite standard to meet in the stenographic department of this school. This year the speed to be required of a graduate of shorthand is 115 - !W v Aa- msm. if words per minute for five minutes. The requirement in typewriting will be forty words per minute for ten minutes allowing perhaps 5 errors. To this will be added Office Training. This is an outline of business practice work to acquaint the student with forms of papers usually found in the business office. It gives a very excellent drill in typewriting as well. In conjunction with this might come Business Correspondence or letter writing. Recognition of our bookkeeping department must be credited to Supt. Collins. Heretofore it was given space in the attic, and emphasis in proportion. It now occupies the front room and has promise of asserting itself as one of the substantial departments in the high school. I propose that the present quarters of the stenographic and bookkeeping departments be enlarged to cover the floor space of two or three rooms. This will give us a penmanship section large enough to accommodate our classes and further, we can organize our own assembly room, arranging the program to meet our needs. F'urther, we can arrange our own athletic section. There will be an advantage in this because of being able to get hold of some of the post graduates who have been the leaders before. This assembly idea will give unity to the department by combining the services of Miss Ellis and myself for better and more efficient handling of the plans for the department’s welfare. Our bookkeeping course now provides for two years of work. This will include the theory, wholesale and corporation accounting. We have enrolled this year about forty students in the bookkeeping course, one huridred-fifty in penmanship and spelling, and sixty in the business arithmetic. All of this plan can be carried out without additional teaching force except perhaps the assistance of Mr. Morrison for a double period each day. Here’s my pledge to assist in making our commercial department second to none among the high schools of the state. —W. C. Springgate. IF □ ■ AlW 'Ma- DOMESTIC SCIENCE i ?«TIFCT7W3C )M JJ iDomestic Science One of the most important subjects in High School is Domestic Science. Girls who otherwise would have little or no other training along this line get a good practical training in the four year course offered. Pupils wishing to specialize in Household Arts and Science begin their training in this department. There are two hundred and thirty pupils enrolled in the department this year. This is divided into two sections, cooking and sewing, which recite alternately, cooking coming one day and sewing the next, leaving Friday for note book work. Some of the elements studied in cooking are: the elements required by the body, in what proportion and in what foods they are most abundant; the methods of cooking, how to serve and prepare a well balanced meal, necessity of variety of dishes, and how to obtain a change by way of serving. Breads, pastries, meats, salads, invalid cookery are studied; the care of the table, dining-room, silver and linen is each taken up separately. In the sewing, all kinds of stitches are taught, when to use them, how to use patterns, how to put on ruffles, flounces, laces, how to make button holes, how to put on buttons, the construction of all garments, when a certain kind of seam is best, and all such necessary points in sewing. The study of textiles forms an important part of the sewing course. Here the kinds of materials, where and how obtained, and how best to use them; how to distinguish good from bad, and how to buy and what to buy are discussed. The Domestic Science Department is under the direction of competent teachers, Miss Ella Newman who has the cooking, and Miss Agnes Rogerson who has the sewing. No other four year course offered to any girl of the city schools can give so good a practical training as does the Domestic Science Course. if ■ AlW 'AAa- C R1 M SPB m § cJ 4 Manual draining $ One of the best equipped, and most useful departments in our school is the Manual Training Department. We have five rooms, well lighted and airy, as a well regulated work shop should be. Two of the rooms are bench rooms, one having ten double benches, and the other, twelve single ones. This accommodates thirty-two students at one time. The other rooms are the machine room, the drawing room, and a store room, which is also used for other miscellaneous purposes. As it has no window's, it affords an excellent place for making blue prints, being equipped with a ruby light. The machine room is equipped with six up-to-date machines of the latest type. There are three lathes, two with a twenty-six inch capacity, and one with a forty-three inch capacity, a circular saw, a band saw, and a grind stone, each one receiving power from an individual motor. These are controlled at a switch board on the west wall, and also each machine has its individual switch. The drawing room is equipped with individual stands, and affords a quiet business-like place for the students in Mechanical Drafting. We have some new equipment which has just been added in the past year. The room of single benches with all the necessary tools is our latest addition. Another, which was installed about the same time, is our electric glue heat-.er, which dispenses with our old gas one, which was a constant fire hazard every minute that it was in use. We also have a new lighting system throughout, having lights of the Brascolite type. We have a new' mitre box. The Manual Training Department manages the advertising for every activity which takes place in the school, from the first football game in the fall, to the Senior play at the end of the year. We paint all street car signs, distribute all window cards, and prepare and distribute all outdoor signs of any kind. The w'ork in the department ranges from the fifth. ■ nmmsm sixth, seventh, and eighth grades which learn elementary wood working; the Freshmen,elementary joinery; the Sophomores, cabinet making and wood turning; and the Juniors and Seniors, furniture building and wood turning. The Mechanical Drafting offers a three year course. Taken all together, the department, with the untiring efforts of our instructor, Miss Brown, and her able assistant, Mr. Wells, affords the best training possible for boys who are to become our best all-round citizens in the future. And for those who are contemplating the vocation of craftsman, architect, or other similar business, no firmer foundation could be laid.—W. Bland. FRANK ROBINSON, 16, PAUL WELLS, ASST. INSTRUCTOR IN MANUAL TRAINING, CLYDE HEMBROUGH. ’16. -MW 'AlW - AAa- vJW □ R.1IMSOM J 44 44 i f Our O mnasium The Gymnasium, which is situated in the David Prince building, is a new and valuable asset to Jacksonville school life. It has proved a great benefit toward encouraging and providing school activities. The floor of the “Gym” is large and smooth, and is marked for basket ball and indoor base ball. It is here that the basket ball games of the season are played, and the Illinois State Tournament held. Two sides of the “gym” are lined with substantial bleachers, and above the bleachers on the south side, the band-stand is located. The Gymnasium has provided for a larger field in basket ball than has ever before been offered. Not only the High School men receive training along this line, but the seventh and eighth grades and even the Wards this year have had regularly organized teams and regular practice. In January an inter-class tournament was held in which all of these teams took part. This early training has a great advantage over the old way, when basket ball had no opening except for High School men, and in the future, should provide some strong teams for J. H. S. Track has also been benefited in that the men could receive training during the early spring, when the weather conditions made outside practice impossible. On May 10, 1916, an inter-class track meet was held in which both boys and girls of the High School and David Prince School took part. The instructors for regular “gym” class are, Miss Taylor for the girls and Mr. Maddox for boys in High School and the seventh and eighth grades. The Wards also have Gymnasium work, with Miss Harney at the head in the first ward, Miss Mills in the second, Miss Fox in the third, and Miss Long and Miss Tendick in the fourth. During the winter, some of the Senior boys have occassionally drilled the Ward students. In the seventh and eighth grades Miss EUMSCW £4 Mason and Miss Grassley have charge of the work in the two societies. For “Gym” work, suitable apparatus is provided, consisting of horizontal and parallel bars, punching bags and gloves, wands, dumb bells, Indian clubs, rings, etc. There is also a piano in the “gym” which is used for marching and folk dances. The work done by the boys, is mainly marching, drilling, and work with the bars and rings have been given at times in the chapel exercises, and in society programs. The girls’ classes are instructed in marching, swinging Indian clubs, wand drills and folk dances, such as English Ribbon Dance, Dutch Dance and Irish Washerwomans’ Dance have been given in costume on the society programs. The Gymnasium has indeed become an important and necessary addition to the school, and through its influence, we hope in the future, to produce even better activities along athletic and literary lines than in the past. “SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER.” I CAN’T DO THAT SUM!” Gladys Howard, ’19, Mary Winchester, ’19, Mary Louise Newman, ’17, Hazel Widmayer, '17, Lucy Coover, ’19, Martha Priest, ’19, Helen Obermeyer. “ALL-OF-A-SUDDEN PEGGY.”—Senior Play. tRIMSOM J Toot all Tb tam of 1915 The football team this year did not win many games, but it deserves praise for the spirit of “stick-to-it-ive-ness” which each player displayed. The team as a whole was composed of inexperienced players; this, besides other discouraging circumstances of the season, was partly responsible for the results. But in spite of all scores, the team stuck to its work with seriousness and each fellow did his best and showed good spirit throughout the season. So in spite of the fact that we lost most of the games as far as the score is considered, we feel that they did good, steady work, nevertheless, and are proud of the team of nineteen fifteen.

The team consisted of Tomlinson, Captain-center, Andrews and Boxell, forwards, and Hull and Marshall as guards. When this combination was working, it was hard to beat.

Some surprising results developed, and it was exciting from start to finish. There were sixteen teams competing this year. Although we did not win the tournament, every one seemed satisfied with the results and declared that he had received his moneys worth. Springfield won first place of which they were well deserving. Whitehall came second and Manchester third. Both of these teams played good games, Manchester playing against us and winning with a score of 30-28. The Tournament was a success from several different standpoints. It brought teams together that had never competed against each other before. All the teams showed a good spirit toward each other, and there were no hard feelings or disagreeable squabbles between any teams or players. c - H u ■oiJW 'AJU— vjw- HOMER REYNOLDS, TRACK CAPTAIN TOP ROW (left to right)—Howard Reynolds, J.

S. men brought home four firsts and succeeded in breaking three records. Carl Spencer lowered the record in the 440 yd. Dash from 56 1-5 to 55 2-5, while Homer Reynolds clipped a fifth of a second off the previous record in the 220 yd. Dash. He also lowered his own record in the running Broad Jump 8 1-4 in. The four firsts that we took were the 440 yd. Dash, 220 yd. Dash, 220 yd. low Hurdles and the running Broad Jump. The other events in which we placed follow: Harold Ferguson, second in the pole vault; Homer Reynolds, second in the 50 and 100 yd. Dashes; Carl Spencer, fourth in the 220 Dash; Arthur King, fourth in the running Broad Jump; Clyde Hembrough, fourth in the 880 yd. run; John Fierke, third in the javelin throw; Howard Reynolds, third in the mile run and Dallas Hagan fourth in the mile run. The final standing of the teams is as follows: First, White Hall 45 points Second, Jacksonville 39 points Third, Beardstown 34 points Fourth, Roodhouse 29 points I9ife -aIW ■nAJW Illinois (Tolloge Unterscolastic Mleet Great enthusiasm and broken records were the result of the Track Meet, held Friday, May 5, on the College campus. Springfield captured first place with 24 points, Jacksonville second with 19 points, and White Hall and Beards-town tied for third place with 16 points each. The records, which were broken are as follows: 440 yard Dash—Old Record, 55; new record 53 2-5 120 High Hurdles—Old Record, 16 2-5; New Record, 16 1-5 High Jump—Old Record,5 ft. 6 1-4; New Record, 5 ft. 11 1-4 Shot Put—Old Record, 41 ft. 6 1-4; New Record, 48 ft. 6 1-2 Discus—Old Record, 106 ft; New Record, 114 ft. Javelin—Old Record, 141 ft. 7; New Record, 169 ft. 3 Pole Vault—Old Record, 10 ft. 6; New Record, 11 ft. 6 Four men tied for the cup for individual points scored. Dunne of Springfield, Kinser of White Hall, Angier of Beardstown and White of East St. Louis. Each man scored 11 points for his team. Probably one of the greatest records made by a High School athlete was that of Angier in the javelin throw. The old record was 141 ft. 7 in., and Angier threw it 169 ft. 3 in. A very good record was made by one of the Girard boys in the pole vault. He set the new record a foot above the old one. While Springfield won the meet, it was only by a hard fought battle with Jacksonville. Spencer showed great form in running, breaking the record in the 440 yd. Dash. Ed Tomlinson also did well, breaking another record, that of High Hurdles. One disappointment of the day was when Homer Reynolds failed to place in the 220 yd. Dash, altho he ran against very fast men, Dunne of Springfield and Jones of Mason City. Dunne ran it just one second lower than Homer’s previous record. However in the running Broad Jump, Homer came back strong, taking first place. The Relay race was very exciting, the time being 1 min. 33 sec. White Hall took first, Springfield second, Arenz-ville third, and Jacksonville fourth. ft IM 5OTTJ Western Ullinois Hfigl) School Mleet Friday, May 19, was a busy day for J. H. S. students with the declamatory contest in the morning, the meet in the afternoon, and the Senior play at night. The declamatory contest was held in the morning at the Grand Opera House with a fairly good crowd in attendance. At one o’clock occured the W. I. H. S. L. Meet. Jacksonville captured first place with 47 points; White Hall, second with 46 points; and Beardstown, third with 20 points. The meet was a race from start to finish between Jacksonville and White Hall. Neither team was sure of first place until the last event was completed. All the Jacksonville men acquitted themselves with great credit, Homer Reynolds, Tomlinson, Spencer, and Hull being especially good. Reynolds won the 100 and 200 yd. dashes, Spencer took the quarter and half mile, and Tomlinson the 120 and 220 hurdles. John Furry surprised the crowd by winning the mile run. Hull did not win any but his placing helped to raise the points for Jacksonville. Only two records were broken during the afternoon: Tomlinson lowered the 220 yard low hurdles from 27 2-5 to 26 3-5, and Kinser of White Hall, raised the high jump 5 ft. 7 1-4 in. to 5 ft. 11 3-8 in. This was the first year for the javelin. Angier of Beardstown hurled it 165 ft. 9 in., a mark that will probably stand for some time. The relay race was the most thrilling race that there has been for some years. White Hall and Jacksonville were the only teams entered, and although Reynolds got away several yards to the bad, he passed his opponent Culbertson about 60 yards from the tape.

Our Little Sunday Sermon A Vital Discourse Upon the Relation of Man’s Raiment to the Man. BY A. D. RYTEP, D. D. Doctor of Dressology “And so ye shall be judged.” Today, tomorrow, and every day, as YOU go forth in this busy world, whether leisurely on pleasure bent, or earnestly in pursuit of daily bread, You are the object of most critical scrutiny and stern judgment by your fellow men, the men with whom you are thrown in contact and those strange to you, who are not yet cognizant of your name and fame. And these men all pass judgment. In their minds and their memories, YOU are given a place, and that place is determined by the verdict of their eyes. The first impression, that’s the thing that counts. Have YOU ever thought of it in that way? Do you realize that YOUR appearance is a key to the hearts of men? Do you realize that a good “FRONT” is an “Open Sesame” to the esteem of your brothers? YOUR Clothes reflect the spirit within. They indicate your state of mind, your disposition, and they turn the balance for or against you. YOUR dress is the barometer of YOUR life, that indicates unerringly your journey on the high road of Success and social esteem, or your decline into slovenliness and failure. And appearance is not wholly dependent upon quality. You should apply the utmost means at your command, but no more. If silks and broadcloth be within your easy reach, by all means have them, but if not, even lowly cottons applied with neatness and good taste, will do as much for you as the royal raimant of your more fortunate brother. So heed well: IT’S UP TO YOU, and I urge you, for YOUR sake and the sake of those dear to you, DRESS UP, and Stay Dressed Up, in Society ran6 (Tlottyes “We Make Good When Our Clothes Don’t.” -MW 'JllW vvAA □ Sturtevant Tower ILLINOIS COLLEGE JACKSONVILLE, ILLINOIS © “OLD ILLINOIS” needs no introduction to the students of the Jacksonville High School.

Billiards and Pocket Billiards Have grown in popularity and favor until to-day they are more in favor than any other sport in the world.
