Henry wadsworth longfel- LOW was born in Portland, Maine, in 1807, and died March 24, 1882. He has gained an enviable place in the affections of the American people. This popularity has not been attained by brilliancy of genius. There have been more exquisitely gifted poets, who by no means have held so large a place in public es- teem as Longfellow, who possessed poetic gifts of a high order and treated themes of general interest. His life was beautiful in its calm, gradual, healthful development, and was itself a poem— a type of all that he has written. It was full of gentleness, courtesy, sincerity, and manly beauty. It was free from eccentricity; it breathed a large sympathy; it grounded itself on invisible and eternal realities. The message he brought was sane and helpful. For half a century he continued to send forth, in simple harmonious verse, messages of beauty, sym- pathy, and hope. iiiiHiiiii imi i mu m imi imi hi nimn mi Mimi mi mmi 11111111111111111111111IIII11II It IIIII111111II111II111111111111 It The Crimson J BOARD OF EDUCATION Dr. J.

F. Shaker, Superintendent E. S. Fini.f.y, Principal To think of Mr. Shafer is to think of power—power of purpose and power of execution. For two years he was our principal, then because of his ability, be- came our superintendent, an office which he has held for six years. Although this position brought with it additional duties and responsibilities, Mr. Shafer has always taken a great deal of interest in the high school students and high school activities. We have learned to look upon him as a true friend whom we can rely upon for helpful advice or a jolly word. Mr. Finley came to Jacksonville High School from Missouri. During his three vears as our principal he has introduced the following new ideas which have proved very successful: The re-organization of the Student Council into an active governing body, the Senior privileges, and the regular assemblies. We feel that much credit is due Mr. Finley for his splendid leadership and for the many things he has done to make this school year a success.

They were a source of inspiration, urging us on to the higher things in life, and we sincerely hope that we shall be a credit to their teachings. CLASS OF 1928.

Clemens (1835-1910) known by his pen name of Mark Twain. The reputation of a humorist, which clung to Mark Twain all his life was even more objectionable to him than to his friends, who knew his seriousness of purpose. In his earliest sketches, which are broadly comic, he displayed that genius for the in- congruous”, which is at the root of humor and which some critics consider to be Mark Twain’s most prominent quality. In his later works humor is an entirely subordinate element. In- deed, most of the works that readers welcomed as humorous are not given to humor but to satire and ridicule, which are entirely different matters. His leading position seems due to real power, not to chance or to his unfortunate po- sition as a humorist. CLASSES limmiMMIIIHMIMIIIIIIIIIIMIIimilHMIimilMMIIIIIIII ... The Crimson J AS OTHERS SEE US There are high schools all around us— Some large, some small, and low, But they are really much the same; These schools most of us know. They all have halls and class rooms And teachers—more or less— With students gladly sharing Life, love, and happiness. They’re a lot of little Freshmen Who are cute tho’ rather shy— Never mind, they’ll be the Seniors In the coming by-and-by. Happy-go-lucky Sophomores; The Juniors next in line Try to show their dignity. But really they are fine. You ask about the Seniors; Soon they will be espied, And by a poem’s title Each character described.

The Crimson J Chapin McClelland Brockhoise Merrill SENIOR SCROLL Chapter I The hook of life of the Class of 1928 opened to the Jacksonville High School four years ago. The pages of this hook of four chapters, dealing with the steps of the journey, were new; and the people mentioned there were eager in the quest of knowledge. They first showed great wisdom by choosing Miss Struck, class advisor; Dorothy Graham, president: Donald Coker, vice-president; Lucy Jones, secretary; and James Merrill, treasurer. The pages rustled with the interest and enthusiasm shown by the meml ers of the class in ath- letics. dramatics, and music. Esj ecially interesting were those pages dealing with the Hal- lowe'en party, sponsored by the Freshmen, and their act at the Carnival. The Evolution of the Dance . Chapter II This chapter deals with a more experienced group that began the next year of life. The class officers chosen were: Troy Chapin, president; Barbara Kennedy, vice-president; Mary Frances Scott, secretary; and Edward Baxter, treasurer. In the middle of the year more pages were inserted, and the group mentioned then were welcomed as new' members of the class, w'ho soon proved their worth. Chapter III The beginning of chapter three intimates that this year was a very busy and most suc- cessful one. This was largely due to the election of Burnette Bunch, president; Catherine Goebel, vice-president; Lois McNeely, secretary; and Helen Tendick. treasurer. The main event of the year was the annual Junior prom, which was one of the loveliest of its kind ever held. To edit the Crimson J , the class chose Virginia Terhunc, editor-in-chief, and Burnette Bunch, business manager. Chapter IV In the final chapter the Seniors proved their worth in many ways. Because of the earnestness shown in their work the past three years, they were given special privileges concerning the study hours at school. W ith good judgment they chose Troy Chapin, pres- ident; Janet McClelland, vice-president; Ursula Brockhouse, secretary; and James Merrill, treasurer The outstanding events of this last year were the Minstrel and Senior play. The end came. This class left an older and wiser group, letter able to cope with the problems they had to meet later on. Thus, Jacksonville High School introduced another great class into the world.

Three years of labor have proved their worth in the Jacksonville High School, Years of gladness and joy to live through the ages—a memory. Came as Freshmen one year, a group that had no equal. John White they chose as their leader, aided by great Phil Morris. Hanson and Black were at once placed in charge of the scroll and the treasury; Sheppard they chose as advisor to guide them through joy and through trouble. Then through their first year of high school, they frolicked with light hearts of children. Parties on Valentine’s Day and also on All Hallow’s Even Proved that the gay young Freshmen were sociable more than the average. Then with Thanksgiving approaching, they gave as their stunt at the carnival The Evolution of Man, from beginning of life till the present. PART THE SECOND Later as Sophomores illustrious they chose as their leader, John Tobie, Who, with Burt Cannon assisting, piloted over the school year, the class with the aid of Vic Sheppard. The money and records were guarded by Moore and by Grassier, the faithful. Sophomores, no longer as children, they spent many hard hours of labor. Gleaning the knowledge of Caesar,—of squares and triangles distracting. Gave as their stunt at the Carnival, scenes from the most famous movies. Featuring most their advisor, Vic Sheppard disguised as the “Hunchback.” PART THE THIRD Now they have all become Juniors with John Wright as guide on their journey, Nancy Lea Tormey, assistant, with Julian in charge of the money. And scroll in the hands of Lee Ella. This year they starred in athletics,—in both basketball and in football. This year they treated the Seniors to the l est Prom in all the long ages. Spent hours of deep preparation, working with deepest devotion. Next year as Seniors all-glorious, these Juniors will make still more progress, And leave the dear Jacksonville High School the recognized Class of The Ages!

Miss Groves was chosen from the Faculty as class advisor. Andrew Rogers was elected president; Willard Cody, vice-president; Luman Goheen, secretary and treasurer; and George Roach, Student Council member. The first social affair of the class was a Hallowe’en party, held Octol er 30th. Its success was a tribute to the ability of the committee in charge of the affair. At the High School Carnival the class presented an unusual stunt entitled— “And the Lamp Went Out.” The first year was a very pleasant one for the class of '30, its members con- tributing their full quota of dramatic, musical, and athletic talent to the various high school activities. The following autumn, the class returned to Jacksonville High School as Sophomores. Again Andrew Rogers was chosen president, having proved him- self worthy of that position the previous year; Helen Sturdy was chosen vice- president ; and Frances Arnold, secretary and treasurer. This year the class was entitled to tlnee representatives in the Student Council: Elizabeth Buker, Luman Goheen, and Dorothy Vieira. The Sophomore stunt at the Carnival was one of the most successful stunts presented. It was called “The Mock Wedding.” Every member of the class is wholeheartedly looking forward to the coming year. May it be even better than the last! Margaret Sky hold, ’30.

YE FRESHMEN!” “Within these sacred walls are treasures of great value. Opportunity offers to him who seeks diligently these treasures. They far exceed Aladdin’s fabulous lamp in value. Start now, seek, work, and these shall be yours,” proclaimed the herald on that September morning. Confusion reigned. Out of chaos order slowly emerged. Mr. Hickle was «elected as the commander-in-chief to lead amid the tumult. His capable aid- de-camps were: Major-Domo, Douglas Lacey; Minor-Domo, Ruth Annette May; and noble Shylock, Henson Pontius. Respite from the search was had by the Freshmen on Hallowe’en’s weird eve, when they celebrated by having a party in the David Prince Gym. Synonymous are the words Carnival, Freshmen, and success. Genial Pontius relinquished to stern Watson the arduous role of Shylock. Many changes have been wrought, and debaters, musicians, and dramatists now bear the stamped insignia of Freshmen. The seekers are seeking still. The excitement and confusion are gone. In their place reign glistening eyes that have caught the glorious vision. Squared jaws are seen on every hand as Freshmen leave these halls with a firm resolution to return in the early fall as full fledged Sophomores. As we leave, these halls seem to say, “Good-by, Freshmen, and good luck.” Charles Watson, ’31 Page fifty-five IMMHMIMIUHMUMIIIUMMHHMIIIIIHIIMIHIHII 19 2 8 111 m 11111 m 111111111 m i m 1111 m • 1111111 m i M i ■ 111111 m • The Crimson J I I I I I I I 111 1111 I I I I I 11 I I I I I I I I I I I 11 11 I 111 11 I 11 | I 11 M 111 | | 11 111 I H || Page fifty-six ............................................................... 1 9 2 8 ................................. iiiiiiiiiiimiiimmiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiimmimmimMiMU IIIIMIMIMIIMIIMIMMIMIMMIMIMIIIIIMMIIMIIMIHMimt The Crimson J CLASS ROLL Abbott, Margaret Adams, Minnie Mar- garet Allen, Bcrnita Allen.

After one very successful semester, thirty-five pupils out of the group which entered in the fall were allowed to he classmates of those who had entered the previous January'. Although these pupils were not informed of the fact, they' knew that they were taking the same studies. At last when the grades were given in May, the secret was told. They were members of the next graduating class from David Prince. Because of outside activities four members considered it better to wait until next semester to enter Jacksonville High School. The three graduating classes completed their last semester in Junior High School very successfully, due to the interest and safe-guidance of Miss White. Among the seventy pupils who entered Jacksonville High School in January were these officers: president of Student Council, president of Dramatic Club, president of Science Club, president of Boys’ Glee Club, president of the Torch Club, president of the C. G. Club, and editor and business manager of the Herald. These seventy Freshmen adapted themselves to the direction of Mr. Hickle and the class officers.

Pag fifty-nine iiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiHiiiiii 1 9 2 8 ••mu XT ATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, the Con- JL N cord novelist, is a solitary genius, whose methods and materials are so exclusively his own that there is no other writer with whom we may even compare him. His style—a little old-fashioned but genuine and artistic—is al- ways in harmony with his sincerity of purpose. The charm of reading him is akin to that of meeting an old friend who never surprises or disappoints us. Because of his high ideals and the artistic quality of his work, he has received more praise and less discriminating criticism than any other American writer. Lowell calls him the greatest imaginative genius since Shakespeare. Many will feel that this praise is too extravagant, but few will question Haw- thorne’s power or challenge his position as the supreme idealist in American fiction.

First row—Goebel, Davis, Kauh, Lacey, Kendall, Roger� , Leonhard. This year the Student Council has done more work than any previous council. The membership was increased from eight student members to sixteen, three representatives being elected besides the class presidents, who are auto- matically included. Miss Leonhard, the faculty advisor, has greatly helped us throughout the year. Meetings were held regularly every Tuesday, the fourth period. The officers elected by the members of the council were: president. Troy Chapin; vice-president, Catherine Goebel; secretary, Rctty Raub; and treasurer. Rurnette Runch. Last fall the Student Council began its work by urging the students to sup- port the football team. They arranged for different organizations to give pep meetings before each game and assisted in selling the tickets. Ry Octotier 18th. a new constitution was drawn up and accepted. The class stunts at the Carnival were eliminated to give the classes a chance to make money on side-shows. A Guide Rook for the students was published and distributed the second semester. The old Honor Point System was revised to make it more complete and more easily understood. The Council voted that tennis and golf letters be given to the participants placing in the Rig Twelve Conference. It was also decided that the yell leader should have an emblem. The bad parking on Kosciusko Street was remedied by the parking spaces which the Council placed there. In addition to these ta'ks the Student Council has done many other minor things. It has tried its best to follow out the students’ opinion in a sane way and to co-operate with the principal in making our school a happy and profitable one.

The Jacksonville High School Herald has as its standard: impartial treat- ment of all, high standards of scholarship, support of worth-while activities, and character building for citizenship. It is the aim of the staff members to uphold the ideals established by the founders of the school paper and upheld during the years of its existence. With this school year came the institution of two new ideas which have thus far proved entirely satisfactory. First, the plan was adopted of having co- editors, who take turns each week in acting as editor. In this way the two editors co-operate in joining their ideas and making the paper better and more “newsy.” The second plan instituted was the journalism class formed at the beginning of the second semester, members of which work in co-operation with the Herald staff, putting what they learn into practice by writing up articles which are published in the Herald. Each year to close the season of hard work, the Herald Staff gives a large banquet as a reward for those members who, with the advisor, Miss Moore, have helped to make the school paper a success.

The Forum, all during its twenty-five years of existence, has been noted for its ability to accomplish things. This year was no exception, being one which may be written down with its twenty-five historic brothers with pride. Among the many activities of the Forum was a supper held at the Silver Star Inn last October, at which time the new members were initiated. Later in the year an open meeting and an inter-society debate with the Junior Senate were held . As usual the Forum has supplied a large part of the Interscholastic debate teams, the members this year being Charles Watson, Robert Hartman, Ethel Mae Cavett. William Boston, and Lois McNeely. This year’s success was largely due to the efforts of the organization’s cap- able advisor. Miss Leonard, whom everyone admires and respects.

The Junior Senate, an organization of high standing in the Jacksonville High School, has a membership limited to twenty-five students, chosen according to their scholastic standing and their ability to delate. Each year new members are chosen by the organization to fill the places of those who have been graduated. The Junior Senate is headed by John Wright; assisted by Jack Vickery, vice- president; and Zoe Marshall, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Hickle has shown his ability as a leader by encouraging the club in every manner. The Junior Senate has as its object the encouragement of debating and public speaking among the students. Each year the society strives to have as many of its members as possible on the school debating teams. Toward this end the society works, training its members to become better debaters and public speakers by means of interesting debates held every other Wednesday at the regular meetings. At the end of each school year a special social meeting is held, at which time new officers are elected to serve the following year.

The first meeting of the History Club in September, 1927, marked the begin- ning of the fifth year of this society’s existence. At this meeting we elected Anna Margaret Vannier as our president; James Merrill, vice president; and Hazel Ruvle, secretary-treasurer. The purpose of the club is threefold: To interest the students in historical literature, to give additional information concerning historical characters, and to study present-day problems. Following the usual customs, a definite topic for each semester’s program was chosen. 'I he study of the American negro, decided upon for the first semes- ter, brought to light many interesting thoughts about this race. The works of Paul Lawrence Dunbar anil other prominent negro leaders were discussed with much enthusiasm by the club. The subject Russia” was selected for the sec- ond semester and afforded many interesting discussions. One of the aims of the club is to have each member take part in the pro- gram of the organization some time during the year, as we feel that this is neces- sary in fulfilling our threefold purpose. This was carried out especially well this year, and all derived a great benefit from their participation in the programs. With the competent aid and counsel of the advisor. Miss Hunter, and the co- operation of each member of the club, the year proved very successful.

The French Club is one of the many organizations of the Jacksonville High School that has accomplished much during the past year. Due credit for its suc- cess belongs to the advisor, Mable Ruyle. Anyone in the school who has taken French may be a member of this society. It is interesting to note that students aie becoming more enthusiastic in French, which fact is shown by the club’s increase in membership. For president the Le Cercle Francais chose Jack Vickery; assisted bv Lyla Carson, vice president; and Martha McPhail. secretary and treasurer. French programs, which were interesting as well as educational, were given at each meeting. Several short plays, talks, and reports on the French people. French cities, cathedrals and customs awakened the interest of the members and proved very beneficial. “Pigean Vole” and other card games for learning vocab- ularies were played. A most important feature of the programs this year was a French newspaper, ’T.e Meroir”, composed by the members of the club and read at the regular meet- ings. The composing of the paper was in charge of the members themselves, who wrote in French interesting news concerning the French students. Le Cercle Francais has done much in promoting French conversation among its members and in teaching more about France and her customs. Page sixty-seven ..... 1 9 2 8 ......................

For the past fifteen years the Hi-Y Club has been accomplishing a great work in the Jacksonville High School in creating, maintaining, and extending high standards of Christian character through the school and community. The four planks of the platform upon which the club is built are: Clean living, clean speech, clean scholarship, and clean athletics. The Hi-Y is a part of a world-wide brotherhood and is a department of the work of the Y. M. C. A. The officers for the year were: president. Albert Cully; vice-president, Troy Chapin: secretary. Clark Carter; treasurer. George Nicol; sergeant-at-arms, John Curtis. The Hi-Y does not believe that a large membership makes a club, but that the character of the members themselves is the most important factor in the mak- ing of a successful organization. There is now a total enrollment of sixty-five members. In order that the club might have able leadership, two delegates were sent to Camp Seymour, the state Hi-Y training camp. Six delegates were also sent to the Older Boys’ Conference at Granite City. Campaigns, conferences, and joint meetings with other clubs have been of great benefit. Through the co-operation of Mr. A. D. Hermann. Y. M. C. A. secretary, and Mr. Victor Sheppard. Faculty advisor, this year’s work will measure very favorably with that of previous years.

The sixth year of the Jacksonville High School Agriculture Club was one of many interesting activities. This club endeavors to encourage and promote vocational agriculture in the school and home, to cultivate among the young people in the community a love for the open country and for farm life, and to train active and efficient leaders among the young men for rural life progress. Contests in plant growing, poultry raising, and animal husbandry were held by the club. The winners of the contest were allowed to enter the state contest. One of the most interesting exhibits in farm products this year was the Junior Corn Show. This past year the club had Winchester and Pittsfield Agriculture Clubs here for exchange programs and basketball games. The membership of this organization consists of forty-eight, including the president, Lloyd Smith ; vice-president, Harold Tomhave; and secretary-treasurer, Harold Hamel. The club, with the help of the advisor. Mr. Loomis, has had another very successful and progressive year.

The money earned from these two movies was used to send the club’s president, John Russel, to the National Chorus held at Chicago in April. The other officers of this organization were: Harry Birdsell. vice-president; James Merrill, secretary; Donald Coker, treasurer; Raymond Bossarte and Douglas Lacey, librarians; Anna Margaret Vannier, accompanist. Throughout the year the boys learned a number of selections. Two in- teresting groups of songs studied were the Christmas songs and the comic songs. Perhaps the best known selections were “Limericks, “De Good Ship,” and “There’s Music in the Air.” The boys were represented at the Big Twelve Contest held in Decatur in the spring. Shall we doubt that some world-famous artists will come from the group? Pace seventy iMiMiiiiiMiimmmiMii 1 9 2 8 ........

As officers for the year, the Treble Clef chose Catherine Goebel, president; Anna Margaret Vannier, vice-president; Betty Raub, secretary; Frances Cody, tieasurer; and Irene Tayman and Janet McClelland, librarians. Early last fall the Treble Clef started to work enthusiastically on a stunt which it gave in the Greek Theater during Civic Stunt Week. The club won on the first night, but on account of the bad weather the finals were never held. Near Thanksgiving Day the girls gave a successful pep meeting, in which Margaret Goebel took the leading part. As Miss Hopper directed both an operetta anil a vesper service in the Junior High School this year, the Treble Clef was unable to give either. However, these events did not prevent the dub from engaging in other activities. Shortly before Christmas the Treble Clef in co-operation with the music department sponsored a movie, “The Mark of oro.” This proved so successful that two more were presented the second semester. The club appeared in a short song recital at each picture. Treble Clef was greatly honored by being allowed to send Catherine Goebel to the National High School Chorus at Chicago. The organization voted to send M iss Hopper and Mary Tormey with her in appreciation of their faithful services. The girls worked intensively on “The Spinning Chorus” by Wagner for the Big Twelve Conference at Decatur. East year the Treble Clef won second place in the conference, and it hopes to do still better this year.

The Dramatic Club’s main work of the year is the presentation of a play, which this year was the four-act drama, “Merely Mary Ann”, by Israel Zang- will, presented on December 15, 1927, under the direction of Miss Martha Jean Hale. To aid in the development of the dramatic ability of the members, the one- act plays presented at the regular meetings were directed, produced, played, and costumed by the students. The club interested the entire student body by pre- senting some of these plays in assembly. In the spring the society held its annual picnic, which was enjoyed even more than any of the former years. At this event the officers for the coming year were chosen. The Sock and Buskin wishes to express its appreciation for the work and kind help of its advisor. Miss Martha Jean Hale, as it feels that its success was largely due to her efforts and untiring assistance.

In spite of this, however, it is growing fast and becoming one of importance. The members were chosen by tryouts, which were held at the first of the year. The club itself is divided into sections according to the voices. Thus, it is comparatively easy to train the girls for the various parts. The motive of this organization is to encourage interest in music, to improve singing, to develop a keener appreciation for this art. and to help prepare the girls for more difficult work in the future. A good deal has already been accomplished, and the future holds forth prom- ise for even l etter work. Appreciation for the l est music is increasing, due to the interest of the members in their work. The Glee Club is proving and will continue to prove to be one of the most worthwhile organizations of our school. 19 2 8 Pay srvcntyfivf IIIIMIIIIIIIIMIIMMMIIIMMIMMMIMimillMIMIIMIIMIIIM •llllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllttllllllllllllllllltlllllll The Crimson J HOME ECONOMICS CLUB President ...............................Ruth Beerup Vice-President ....................Virginia Godfrey Secretary-Treasurer ..................Frances Carter . frfrwor,r....Miss Larimore, Miss Osborne. Miss Carter The Home Economics Club is an organization for the girls of the economics department. I hrough this society the members have become more interested in home problems, which they are enabled to meet more efficiently. This past year the club has had a larger membership than usual, one hundred forty-two girls, all of whom were either studying domestic art or domestic science or had previously studied it. At the group business meetings held once a month instructive lectures and demonstrations were given, which were helpful as well as interesting. On the other hand, entertainment was by no means neglected. At the be- ginning of the year a wiener roast was held'for the members. An attendance contest, of which Annabell Scott and Alice Louise Hart were captains, was of great help in creating enthusiasm. The losers of the contest entertained the winners. In December an exhibit was held for the mothers of the girls. There were shown displays in art and design work, as well as in domestic art and domestic science. The growing enthusiasm in this organization is evidence that more girls are becoming interested in this line of work.

The topic chosen this year and carried out in their programs was the study of the customs, dress, and folk songs of the various countries of the world. The club is divided into groups, each group having a monitor. The moni- tors, together with the officers of the organization, form the advisory board. The privilege of membership in the club is extended to any girl who wishes to become a member; the present number is one hundred fifty. Each year the Girls’ Club does something outstanding for the school. This year it presented to the J. H. S. Rand forty-three dollars toward the purchase of band uniforms. The Girls’ Club has done much toward promoting a spirit of democracy among the girls of the school and in showing a true school spirit in their willing- ness to co-operate, in this the advisor.

They endeavor to rouse the little, inert bombs of enthusiasm so that they burst, flare up. and illuminate the entire school with interest, zeal, and | ep. P y no means is the club exclusive, for it includes all girls who are peppy and who are willing to stand behind the team or any other school activity and show what real pep is. New songs and veils have been contributed and introduced in a very novel way by a committee consisting of lean Terhune, chairman. Frances Cody, Margaret Abbott, Mildred Rose, and Ethel Mae Cavett. The girls chose for their costumes, white smocks, red tarns, and red ties. Their Faculty advisor, Miss Horstman, has helped them in many ways to be- come a real pep organization and to carry out the plan for which they organized. Although the club is a new organization, formed shortly before the close of the first semester, it has already accomplished what it has set out to do, to he peppy and to make others peppy.

Wilson Secretary............................Clarence Pontius Treasurer........................................Ford Jackson The Industrial Arts Club is one of the newly formed organizations of the school. Its enrollment is about fifty members, representing classes in printing, drawing, and woodworking. The club strives to promote interest along the different industrial lines as well as to acquire a better knowledge. The programs consist of talks by the club members and outside speakers. The success of the meetings was due largely to the efforts of the advisoi s, Mr. May and Mr. Lair. Paye seventy nvte JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER has been called the Burns of New England, and that title is not without justification. He owed the first awakening of his poetic talent to the Scottish bard; and, like him, has cast a glory over the homely scene of his native region. He is pre-eminently the poet of New England. It is the spirit, the legend, and the landscape of New England that are reflected in his verse. In the choice of his themes he is less a national than a sectional poet; less cosmopolitan than Longfellow and Lowell. Whittier was born near the town of Haverhill, Massachusetts, De- cember 17, 1807. He sprang from Quaker an- cestry, and the memory of the wrongs inflicted upon his sect at an earlier day never left him. His last years, as was fitting, were serene. After many stormy years, he had at last won an honored place in the literature of our country and in the hearts of our people. After reach- ing a ripe old age, he passed away September 7, 1892.

It was presented April 26th in the auditorium under the direction of Mrs. Paul Samuel], The plot of the play is as follows: Mr. John Worthing has invented a brother Ernest, a youth of reputed wild- ness, whom he is obliged from time to time to aid and succor as a means of escaping from the cares of his ward, Cecily Cardew, who is left in the hands of Miss Prism, her governess. Algernon Moncrieff. a bosom companion of Jack’s, has invented Mr. Bunbury to escape his Aunt Augusta. Lady Bracknell. Algernon's aunt, refuses to allow her daughter Gwendolen to have any com- munication whatsoever with Jack. Algernon goes into the country and introduces himself to Cecily in the character of the wayward Ernest. Complications of a very amusing sort are started with the result that Jack succeeds in getting Lady Bracknell’s consent to marry Gwendolen, due to the fact that he turns out to be her sister’s son. Algernon wins Cecily, and Miss Prism succeeds in getting Dr. Chasuble.

The lobby was luxuriously furnished with large couches, and beautifully-carved chairs. Tn one corner stood the desk; on its top reposed ink, pens, bells, etc. The idea w'as carried out with much individuality. Mr. Fred Lynn, as interlocutor, very cleverly portrayed the role of desk clerk. The bellhops, Louis McLaughlin. Troy Chapin. Bob Green, Donald Coker, Elmer Morthole, and Clark Carter, were end men brimming over with humor and pep, which brought much laughter from the audience. The chorus added much to the scene. The girls were attired in gaylv-colored sweaters and white skirts, while the boys wore dark trousers and white sweaters One of the most attractive chorus numbers was the solo of Dorothy Graham. Just a Memory”, with the choral refrain. The special numbers made an unusual hit this year. Harrison Hart, as the bashful lad of six, created much merriment with his kiddie car, song, and child- ish pranks, that were so becoming to him. Helen Thomson, who took the part of the proud mother, was comic in her part. Frances Cody and Barbara Ken- nedy were exceptionally good in their rag doll dance. As a bridal couple. Cath- erine Goebel and Billy Dunlap were ideal. “Just Once Again”, Catherine's solo, was lovely. Helen Drake’s Indian dance and song were quite realistic. Mildred Mason and Celia Breeding in their quaint costumes as “the Sunbonnet Lassies” gave a musical dialogue and dance. Barbara Kennedy, as usual, was a scream as a black-face “Nothin' ” in her grotesque costume. Helen Magill showed un- usual ability and perfect rhythm in her clogging. Last but not least, John Rus- sel’s baritone solo, “My Blue Heaven”, was well received and added a great deal to the program. Much of the success was due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Carl Richards and Mr. Fred Lynn, who directed the minstrel.

It was given on the evening of December 15. 1927. and was a great success. The play was different from the usual type and it afforded much pleasure and enjoy- ment for those present. The entire plot centers around Lancelot, a young ambitious composer, who lives in a cheap lodging house kept by Mrs. Leadbatter. The servant of the establishment is a country girl, Mary Ann, who falls in love with him. Having earned a small sum of money from his published songs. Lancelot decides to quit the establishment, but Mary Ann. innocent of guile, implores him to take her with him. After he refuses, Man- Ann comes into a large fortune and is transformed into Marian, who is educated and takes her place in society. To her comes Lancelot, now a great composer, and they are soon reconciled.

John White was general chairman, with John Curtis acting as his assistant. The dance was in charge of Betty Kaub and her committee, while a committee headed bv Jean Terhune planned the lianquet. The banquet, attended by about two hundred and seventy-five upperclass- men, was held in the main dining room of the New Dunlap Hotel. John hite, acting as toastmaster, called upon several students to give short talks. John Wright, president of the Class of ’29. extended a welcome to the Seniors, to which Troy Chapin responded. Bernice York gave a humorous toast on Leap Year. and Maymestell Rimbey had as her subject “Friday the Thirteenth.” A chorus consisting of thirteen after-dinner warblers from the Boys’ Glee Club sang a grouo of songs. Harry Birdsell played a violin solo, “Mazurka.” by Mlynrski. Principal E. S. Finley concluded the banquet with a short talk. Black and white were the only colors used in decorating the David Prince Gymnasium, where the dance was held. Instead of the customary drop ceiling, a large woven centerpiece was used with streamers hanging down to the walls. The walls themselves were covered with diamonds, half black and half white. The girls’ favors were small corsages of sweet peas with a black and white background of crepe paper. Small black canes with black and white crepe paper ribbons tied around them were the boys’ favors. DeBolts’ Orchestra furnished the music for the dance.

But this year Clark Carter, a committee of one, rep- resenting the Forum, publicly challenged the Junior Senate to a debate. John Wright, president of the Junior Senate, immediately accepted. At this time Principal Finley invited the two societies to hold their debate during one of the assembly periods. Mr. Finley’s motive in doing this was to get the students in- terested in debating and thus back up the school teams more. 1 he question, length of speeches, date, and all other preliminary matters were decided by a joint committee composed of both Forum and Junior Senate members. The date was set for Wednesday, March 7. T he question was a fairly even one; that is, no side had a decided advantage oyer the other, although if there were a difference, the affirmative was the more difficult of the two. The judges for the debate were chosen by Mr. Anderson of the Illinois College Faculty. They were Climmont Loew, Morrison Means, and Truman Robinson of the public speaking department of Illinois College. None of the judges had ever had anything to do with the High School. John White, first speaker on the affirmative, opened the debate with the point that the jury system is inadequate. W hite said that the present system was not fit, because of its characteristics, to afford fair judgment in legal cases, and he gave good substantial arguments to back his case. Julian Rawlings opened the negative defense by giving a short history of the jury system which tended to prove his point that the present jury system is not a theory, as any plan introduced by the affirmative would be,' but is an established institution. Jean Terhune continued the argument of the affirmative by showing how easdy the jury system could be corrupted by unscrupulous politicians, which proved her point concerning the ease w ith which a jury can be bribed. George Nicol, second speaker on the negative, took up the point that the present system was essential for the well being of a democratic government. He showed that such a government could not exist without this system, as it is the basic foundation of this type of government. John W'right closed the affirmative attack by claiming that the present system is detrimental to the United States. He jointed out that it was against the principles of the government. Just because our fathers believed in this system is no reason why we should, was the theme of W7right’s arguments. The third speaker on the negative, Albert Cully, claimed that the present system was an indispensable judicial institution. Cully claimed that no other system could be better, and thus the system was indispensable. The decision was awarded unanimously to the negative.

Elliott, Boston Cavett, Me Neely “Speech is the mother of thought, which is the measure of the universe.” Through speech, through debate, or the battle of wits, problems of nation- wide importance have been settled. What student of history is not familiar with the Webster-Hayne Debate or the Lincoln-Douglas Debate? Similiarly. in school life we attempt to gain a sympathetic understanding, if not solution, of many problems of universal interest through debating. In the Big Twelve Meet, which took place in the spring, Jacksonville debated Lincoln. The question this year was, “Resolved: That the essential features of the McNary-Haugen Bill should be enacted into a federal law.” After all what is more vital to a nation than the source of its food supply! Any study which aims at bettering the efficiency of those who produce our food is certainly worth-while. A striking feature of our debating teams this year was the large number of underclassmen who took part in this activity. On the negative team three— Horace Griggs, Charles Watson, and Roliert Hartman—were Freshmen, and one—Ethel Mae Cavett—was a Sophomore. One Junior, Wier Elliott, was rep- resented on the affirmative, while the dignity of the Senior Class was upheld by- Lois McNeely, Edward Baxter, and William Boston. A good spirit of co- operation was shown between the members of the two teams, and the genial spirit of good fellowship served to make the work a pleasure. Both our affirmative and negative teams won from Lincoln. The successes of he two teams was largely due to the untiring efforts of the two coaches, Miss Hunter and Miss Cusic. iiiiiimmiiiimiimiiiimmiiiiimiiiiimmmihmhhimmmim� | | C Vi 111 SO II | ••••••i MMMiMMMiMiiiiimiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniit BIG TWELVE CONFERENCE In the spring of each year a meet is held in one of the schools of the Big Twelve, to which each school belonging to the conference sends representatives. There are contests in music, declamation, commercial, and track events. I.ast year this annual contest was held in Decatur on the twelfth of May. A number of students, each one selected by competition, represented Jackson- ville. This group took several honors, thus upholding the high standards of our school and making it possible for J. H. S. to rank among the first in the conference. In the musical events we were well represented by Rhoda Olds in piano; Wendell Rawlings in violin; Leah Tayman, soprano; Rhoda Olds, contralto; Hugh Osborne, tenor; and John Russel, baritone. Rhoda Olds surpassed all previous records bv winning first in piano and voice. The other contestants placed high and the Girls’ Treble Clef Club won second place in the Glee Club events. In the literary events we were admirably represented by John White, who won first place by his oration. “Our Duty to Our Veterans.” William Walton was the entrant in dramatic reading. Hazel Ruyle in interpretative reading, and Charles Welch in extemporaneous speaking. The commercial department entered a second year shorthand team and first and second year typewriting. The shorthand team which was entered in the 100 word division averaged well over 90. Loretta Buescher placed sixth for in- dividual typewriting honors. The personnel of the shorthand team was: Margaret Cocking, Bernita Hutches, and Helen Ellis. The second year typewriting team consisted of: Ruby Wheeler. Dorothy Quintal, Margaret Cunningham, and Ruby Oster; the first year typewriting team: Loretta Buescher, Mildred Laughary. Lucile Omellas, and Ola Mae Kemp. As a whole J. H. S. was creditably represented. Although we did not win first, we had a most favorable ranking. This vear the Music Department, besides sending the Treble Clef and Boys’ Glee Club, also sent as its representatives John Russel, baritone: John White, tenor; Emily Doyle, soprano; Sara Mason, contralto; Harry Birdsell, violin; and Catherine Goebel, piano. Our tennis team was composed of Harry Birdsell. Charles H. Rammelkamp. Jack Vickery, and Beaumont Potter.

The object of this annual exhibit was to display the type of work done bv the boys in the Industrial Arts Department. The displays included the wood- work of the seventh and eighth grades as well as that of the Freshmen and Sophomore classes. Besides the elementary manual training work shown, there were displays from the other classes, including all four years of high school drawing, both mechanical and architectural. All the work was done bv the students under the direction of Mr. May, Mr. Lair, and Mr. Ludwig. The majority of the articles on display were made from the beginning out of raw lumber, skillfully fashioned and attractively stained or painted. To each bov was assigned during the semester two projects, one difficult and one easv. There was a great variety of articles shown and all were beau- tifully made. Among the articles in the exhibit were library tables, breakfast sets, desks, working tables, lamps, cabinets, cedar chests, buffets, and miscellaneous other pieces. A special attraction was offered in the form of a set of chairs and an ex- tension dining-table, which were made by Mr. Ludwig. The section of the exhibit devoted to the work of the mechanical and archi- tectural drawing classes was most interesting. It included plans of all sorts for buildings and also sketches of the finished drawings themselves. The drawings gave evidence that there are several budding architectural geniuses in J. H. S. The exhibit proved that the students of the Industrial Arts Department are doing excellent work and are well skilled in the making of both beautiful anil practical objects.

The main part of the exhibit was in the Domestic Art room, where the gayly colored articles were attractively displayed on tables, which were placed around the walls. With the dresses and lingerie made by the girls, there were also displayed hand-decorated china, enameled book-ends, and candlesticks. The design section was composed of border designs, textile patterns, scarf designs, and designs for household linens. These were displayed on screens, making a very colorful ensemble.

As a part of their year’s work, the class in Costume Designing dressed a number of dolls to illustrate the fashions worn during different periods of history. The earliest costumes represented were those of the early Greeks in their classic robes. Then the prevailing modes of dress down through the centuries, including the elaborately powdered wigs of the French Court and the more simple English styles up to the present day, were depicted. These dolls were placed in the library for reference of future students in Costume Designing. SECTIONAL AGRICULTURE CONTEST March 2 saw the lower hall of Jacksonville High School filled with over a hundred strange boys. These were students representing Athens, Chapin, Green- field, Jerseyville, Palmyra. Pittsfield. Tallula, Waverly', W inchester, Bluffs, and Virden in the sectional grain and poultry judging contest. Each school sent four representatives for the poultry section and eight for the grain judging group. This contest has been a regular part of the school work for five years, and for the past three years has been held here. The poultry judged were: three rings of American class and three rings of the Mediterranean class, with two chickens to the ring. The grain included two rings of yellow corn, two rings of white corn, one ring of hard wheat, one ring of soft wheat, two rings of oats, one ring of alfalfa, one ring of sweet clover, one ring of red clover, and two rings of soy beans. The grain was judged before the contest by Mr. Fisher, a local farm advisor, and the poultry by' Watson Leek of Jacksonville. The object of the contest was to see how the students’ judging would compare with that of the officials. The four boys representing Jacksonville with their grades were: Ray Turley, 194; George Wilson, 231; Harold Hamel. 201 ; and Reat Scholfield, 250. These grades were made out of a possible 300. The eight J. H. S. boys in the grain judging with their grades were: James Hadden, 210; Carl James, 526; Eugene W est, 516; Harry Driver, 432; Theodore Birdsell, 514; Albert McNeely, 485; Paul Thies, 444; and Oran Feameyhough. 481. These grades were out of a possible 600. The winners in the poultry judging contest were; Chapin, first; Winchester, second; Athens, third; and Jacksonville, fourth. Virden captured first place in judging grain; Winchester, second; and Pittsfield, third. The schools as they ranked for grain and poultry' together were: first.

The counties sending representatives were Cass, Scott. Morgan, Sangamon, and Christian, making a total enrollment of about two hundred fifty delegates. The officiating officers were: Burnette Bunch of Jacksonville, president; R. C. Hagan of Pleasant Plains, vice-president; Archie Van Ausdell of Taylorville. secretary; and George Doying of Springfield, treasurer. The conference opened Tuesday evening with a banquet, at which time all the delegates came together and had a genuine good time. They were enter- tained by special numbers and by yells from the different delegations. H. Ross Bunce of Decatur, who is the state Y. M. C. A. secretary of this central district and a great mixer among young people, was the song leader and speaker. After the banquet an address was given by J. A. Wolf, director of the Neighborhood Association of St. Louis. The program for the evening was concluded with a basketball tournament played by the delegates of the different towns. The Wednesday morning session opened with an address by Milton Olander, assistant football coach at the University of Illinois, upon the theme of the conT ference, “Eligibility.” The conference felt very fortunate in having secured him as a speaker, and his talk was greatly enjoyed by the whole delegation. The closing session was in charge of A. R. Freeman. Secretary of the Boys’ Work of the state Y. M. C. A. At noon Wednesday the conference picture was taken and the Camp Sey- mour Luncheon was served for those who attended Camp Seymour last summer. The last event of the conference program was the final game of the basket- ball tournament, which showed that all were real sports in taking a defeat or a victory. The Taylorville Hi-Y offered a loving cup to the school gaining the most honor points. This was won by the Jacksonville delegates. HI Y DATE NIGHT Following the custom of three years’ standing, the Hi-Y Club held its annual date night Tuesday evening. February 28, at the Grace M. E. Church. This custom was first introduced with the idea of letting the girls of the school see what the Hi-Y really is. Whether or not this purpose is carried out is open to doubt, but the event is now firmly established. After a supper served by the ladies of the church, the club enjoyed a talk by Mayor Reeve upon the subject “Ourselves and Others.” Among other things he said, You can not expect anyone to have more respect for you than you have for yourself.” A musical program followed the address of the evening. Harrv Birdsell accompanied by Mary Tormey. played a violin solo. “The Old Refrain.” The Boys’ Quartet. com|K sed of (ohn White, John Russel. Harrv Birdsell and Abram Weihl. sang a group of songs. “Pussy’s in the Well.” “Speckled Frog” and “Limericks.” Appreciation for the fine singing of Abram Weihl was shown by a yell from the Bachelor Row. Additional entertainment was furnished by the club when President Albert Cully was given the slaperitis by the sergeant-at-arms. The charge made against the president of the Hi-Y was that he was running around with other fellows’ girls. Page ninety-hvr ................................................. 1 9 2 8 ....................................................... ............... Crimson I A notebook belonging to Virgil Gibbs was turned in to the president during the meeting. Among other bills in it was one from Mollenbrock McCullough asking for payment of ten dollars for keeping Virgil’s picture in the case for the past three months. The date night this year was the most successful one ever held from the standpoint of attendance, interest, and entertainment. Thirty-five couples, in- cluding Mr. and Mrs. Sheppard, and ten or more bachelors were present. The group was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Reeve and Mr. and Mrs. Hermann. JUNIOR SENATE PARTY A party held at John W right’s home November 7 gave the Junior Senate Society a long looked for chance to initiate its new members. Needless to say, the initiation program consisted of several extemporaneous talks, which greatly amused and entertained the old members, if not the new. Celia Breeding gave a number of valuable hints on “How 1 Became So Popular.” W hether Bobby liked Jane Green’s talk on “How It Feels to Have a Single Brother” would be hard to say, but it was very much enjoyed by the rest of the club. Other talks that added to the hilarity of the occasion were: “Habits and Actions of the Female College Inmates,” by Charles McClelland, an excellent authority on this subject: How I Grew So Tall.” by James Hadden, whose methods, judging from his appearance, are not to be relied upon; and “What the Junior Senate Means to Me.” by Willa W iseman. Another feature of the initiation was a debate on the question. Resolved: That the females cause the males to leave home,” with the affirmative upheld by Thomas MacVicar and John White; the negative by Velma Hayes and Eleanor Chapin. Those new members who did not fulfill the requirements of their part of the initiation were given a taste of the slapperitis as a finishing touch. FORUM FROLIC In honor of the new members the Forum held its regular meeting November 9 in the form of a party at Silver Star Inn. where a dinner was served. Following the banquet a debate was held on the question, “Resolved: That aeroplanes should have propellers.” The affirmative was upheld by John Russel and James Merrill; the negative by George Nicol and Julian Rawlings. Later the hall was turned quickly into a zoo, judging from the sounds that were heard. These noises were made by the new members who were valiantly- endeavoring to imitate various animals in appearance, walk, and speech as a part of their initiation. Several talks were given by the new members. The club then adjourned to the home of Abram Weihl where games were played and a general good time was had.

Committees were chosen and work was begun in order that everyone might have a good time. Finally the night arrived. The David Prince Gym was decorated with corn stalks, pumpkins, and many other things that gave it the appearance of Hal- lowe'en. As the guests arrived, they were given the pleasure of crawling through a 1 arrel. on to some bed springs, and into a dark room with pumpkin faces gleam- ing around the walls. After the shock of crawling through the barrel, a grand march was he'd and prizes were given for the best costumes. The judges had a very hard time deciding between the many tramps, Leilcs of colonial days, clowns, fairies, boys dressed as girls, Spanish ladies, etc. A varied array of costumes was there, and from them the judges selected Irene Crozier in her pirate suit as having the best costume of the girls, and Robert Whiteman in a costume of leaves, as the l est for the boys. The people were then divided into four groups to give stunts, some of which were very clever. The prize winning one was a mock wedding, which caused much laughter. After a few games, refreshments consisting of cider, doughnuts, pumpkin pie, and suckers in the shape of ears of com were served. HERALD STALE BANQUET It is customary for the Herald Staff to celebrate near the close of the school year with a banquet, which the last few years has l een held at the New Dunlap Hotel. This serves as a reward for the many hours of hard labor spent during the year. A committee consisting of Jean Terhune, chairman, Julian Rawlings, Mil- dred Laugharv. and Heaumont Potter was appointed to plan for this year’s banquet.

Right Apprentice Page ninety-nine ..........him 19 2 8 WASHINGTON IRVING was born in the city of New York, April 3, 1783, and died November 28, 1859. To him belongs the distinction of being the first of our great writers in general literature. He was above all a literary man; and his writings be- long, in large measure at least, to the field of belles-lettres. In his most characteristic writ- ings he aimed not so much at instruction as at entertainment. He achieved that finished ex- cellence of form that at once elevates literature to the classic rank. He was the first American writer to gain general recognition abroad; or, to use Thackcry’s words, Irving was the first am- bassador whom the New World of letters sent to the Old.” Our literature has had many am- bassadors” since, but it is doubtful whether any other has ever been more cordially welcomed or more pleasantly remembered.

Above insignificant victories is set his goal, good sportsmanship and clean athletics. HARRISON HART, (Captain). “Willie” was an excellent captain, who, besides being a fighting center, always encouraged the team as no one else could. His continual attempts to advance the ball and his optimistic yet fervent hope encouraged the players. A sprained ankle handicapped him for several games, but always his earnestness urged him to play. JOHN CURTIS, (Honorary Captain). Although most of the season John had an infection in his arm, received in practice, he played whenever called upon and always did his best. He remains with the team to continue his good work next year. Page one hundred tux 1 9 2 8 ........................... FOOTBALL SQUAD PERSONNEL OF THE SQUAD Centers—Hart, Hartman, Walker, H. Hart.

H. S. 30 — 1. S. D. 13 Although the first half of the game was very closely contested and the result was continually in doubt, the second half was a J. H. S. walkaway. The playing of both teams was exceptional, considering the earliness of the season. J. H. S. 30 — BATH 21 This game was unusual, 14 of our points l eing made by free throws. As the score signifies, we had very little trouble in making the Rath team bow to us. All the team played well, thereby giving us a bright outlook for the year. J. H. S. 41 —PALMYRA 14 At no time during the game was there any doubt as to the winner. The Palmyra team practiced on an outdoor court all season; nevertheless, they gave a good account of themselves. .1. H. S. 30 —SPRINGFIELD 14 The first half was so even that the game was continually in the balance of fate, but in the second period the score was very clearly in favor of J. H. S. Springfield did not score at all in the third quarter, thus giving us sweet vengeance for last year’s stings. J. H. S. 33 —WINCHESTER 17 As the score again shows, we had very little trouble in reaching our goal of thirty points. J. H. S. took the lead in the beginning and was ahead through- out the game. Although it seemed rather difficult to get started in the third quarter, by the end of the period Jacksonville was leading with a score of 21-12. J. H. S. 21 — LINCOLN 33 Our first defeat came from our old tournament victor, in one of the fastest and most exciting games of the year. The game was unusually even during the first three quarters, but a very successful rally carried our opponents far from danger. .1. H. S. 2S — WAVERLY 26 Handicapped very much by the extremely small Waverly floor, Jacksonville was behind 19-6 at the end of the first half, but a splendid rally in the second half came as a result of shots from nearly any position on the floor, many of which were successful. J. H. S. 24 — PEKIN 15 “Mitch” used only five men during the game. All of them played so well that no particular player’s score was outstanding. We were leading at the end of the half 11-8, and by hard fighting this lead was held. Pane one hundred seven imiimiiiiii� 19 2 8 .i..mi..i..ni..mu.... The Crimson J .................... Schiliinger Ledfertl McLaughlin Massey J. H. S. 16— PEORIA CENTRAL 27 Peoria had a long lead in the first quarter, and not until the last period did J. H. S. rally very much. Rogers, a guard, did excellent defensive work with “Louie” and “Red” as offensive players. J. H. S. 16 — ROODHOUSE 10 “Mitch” played the second team until the third quarter in order to save the first team for the difficult encounter with Alton the following night. The first string was inserted during the last period to keep our small lead out of any accidental danger. J. H. S. 37 — ALTON 32 The entire game was an exhibition of speed that was always steady and sure. McLaughlin exhibited a rare stunt, that of keeping the ball in his possession and out of danger during the last few minutes of strenuous play. All the men played verv well. J. H. S. 30 —SPRINGFIELD 22 After the first hectic quarter in which each team scored neck and neck, our sharpshooters easily had the best of it over the Capital City Reds. The band attired in their new uniforms made their initial appearance and were greeted with many cheers. J. H. S. 26 —PEORIA MANUAL 38 T. H. S. set a hot pace in the first quarter, and Peoria followed suit by doing the same for the next three periods. We led 8-4 at the end of the first quarter; however, our opponents soon took the offensive and did not allow our men to lead them again. J. H. S. 26 —WINCHESTER 23 The J. H. S. quintet won a hard fought game from Winchester. The game started off at a terrific pace and continued to be close until the end. w'hich brought victory to the Crimsons.

Mitchell shifted the line up many times during the game, so that every man who made the trip had a chance to show his stuff. J. H. S. 32 —GRIGGSVILLE 20 Our team gave Griggsville their first defeat with a score of 32-20. It was a fast game, although “Mitch” allowed his regular clan to work together but one quarter. J. H. S. 34 — RUSH VILLE IS Again we made good our excellent chance to avenge our old football enemy by handing them a very smooth defeat, which was a soothing balm for the un- healed wounds of that memorable football defeat on a warm September after- noon. The whole game was marked with accurate passing and clean hoop shooting. It was a good game and will be remembered for years. J. H. S. 37 —LINCOLN 32 Schillinger was high point man in the most important game of the year. By losing to us. Lincoln lost her chance for the Big Twelve Championship. Our offense was dazzling and the defense was impenetrable. -J. H. S. 2S —WAVERLY 9 Our former victory over Waverly was repeated on the I. S. D. floor by a great margin of points, due largely to the fact that an epidemic of mumps had eliminated several members of their team. J. H. S. 33 —RUSH VILLE 23 Several dates accompanied the team on this trip, probably accounting for so large a score. We gained an early lead but were never out of danger as our opponents were always trying to find a break. The second team also won their game from the Rushville seconds in the curtain raiser. Mitch” used several men to give them a chance, as this was the last game before the tournament. Page one hundred nine ..................................................

I. S. D. opened the tournament Thursday, March 8th, at 7 P. M. by defeating Modesto 27-21. The same evening J. H. S. came to the fore in her game against Waverlv with a score of 41-21 at the end of a fast and thrilling battle. Friday afternoon the Crimsons met Bluffs and in a slow game piled up a score of 52-9. Keehner, the hero of the day. made a new tournament record of 28 points, with the capable help of Goheen. On Saturday morning J. II. S. met her Waterloo when she played 1. S. D. in the semi-finals. The Tigers used the stalling offense system of percentage basketball and displayed deadly accuracy in all their shots. The Crimsons ran themselves to exhaustion trying to find the loophole in the Tigers’ offense, but couldn’t seem to get possession of the ball to score. However, the game was by no means as one-sided as the final score might indicate. The end of the first quarter saw J. H. S. leading 4-2. Our team was in the lead several times during the second quarter, which ended 8-5 in favor of the Tigers. The third period showed that from then on it was to lie the Tigers’ game. The I. S. D. quintet had at last accomplished their purpose to wear out the Crimsons with their stalling offense. The third quarter ended 17-13 for the Deaf, and the final score gave victory to I. S. D. by a score of 27-18. In the finals the percentage system also ruined New Berlin, and the Tigers won 29-23. This victory gave the Deaf the right to enter the Sectional Tourna- ment. SECTION AI TOURNAMENT For the second time Jacksonville was host to the District Tournament winners of this section on March 16-17. Although we were not fortunate enough to participate in this event, the interest of the high school was not lacking. In addition to many people from both the high school and the Illinois School for the Deaf, the I. S. D. Gymnasium was crowded with large groups from the towns whose teams w'ere entered. One point victories featured the games of the tournament. I. S. 1). lost by a single point to Quincy, 17-16, Quincy winning in the last half minute of play. In the semi-finals another game was won by a single point when Griggsville defeated Quincy 17-16. Griggsville and Chandlerville, after winning two games each, entered the finals. Outplaying Chandlerville all the wav, Griggsville won by a score of 32 to 24. thus giving her the right to enter the State Tournament held at Champaign, March 21-22-23.

She maketh me to give proofs for my grades’ sake. Yea, though I study till midnight I can learn no geometry. The theorems bother me, and the corallaries sorely trouble me. She prepareth my quizzes in the presence of lofty visitors. She giveth me a low grade. My work runneth over. Surely “zeros” and “conditions” Will follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the Sophomore Class forever.” Mr. Finley (coming into the Study Hall) : “I want about fifty of you to get to work.” Voice from the back of the room: “What’ll the rest of us do?” Teacher: “What insect lives on the least food?” Pupil: “The moth ; it eats holes.” Mr. Sheppard: “Women, generally speaking, are generally speaking.” lean: “Let’s see, I’ve got to have a dummy for journalism.” John: “What are you going to do?” Jean: I’ll take you along.” Burnette: “Dad. did you go to Sunday School when you were a boy?” Mr. Bunch : “I sure did.” Burnette: “Well, then I think I’ll quit. It isn’t doing me any good either.” Willard: “It looks like rain.” Margaret: “What looks like rain?” Willard: “Water.” Bob Mullenix wants to know if the way to make a peach cordial is to send her a box of candy. ♦ Mr. Agger to one of the boys who was cutting up in school: “James, sit down in front.” James: “I can’t; I’m not made that way.” Page one hundred forty-five Hinnii ...... 19 2 8 IIIIIttlllMIIIIMIHItlllllltlllllMIMtlHIMHIIMfllMtllMMI NMNINIIIIMIIIItlllllMNIMNIMIIIIIIllHHWHIIIIIIIItHia The Crimson J LACROSSE LUMBER COMPANY For Quality and Service at a Reasonable Price South Main Street Telephone No. 102 CHARLES WRIGHT, Manager -l-l-1 1 1-1 I I 1 I ■l-H-M-i..;. ,| | | | | I I I ONLY 1 PER CENT OF YOUR MONEY GOES FOR ELECTRICITY Food is the biggest item in th ■ average family budget. 45 per cent of the income goes to the grocer and butcher.

Further than this. Blue Ribbon books enjoy a constant personal contact service, available all through the year at the staff’s call. As- sistance to the Business Manager in helping with the problems of subscriptions and the assistance in the sale of advertising space, credited by many as being the greatest help offered by any organization in the field, are additional features of Blue Ribbon Service. The size of a book or school makes no dif- ference in Blue Ribbon production, for there is just one set of standard methods of pro- ducing a book. That is why all Blue Ribbon annuals are of the highest grade materials and workmanship. Latest developments in style are always found in Blue Ribbon books, yet the novelties that pass with the night are never approached. An annual is built for future years. Hence, the proper care and due consideration of all details are reflected in Blue Ribbon annuals. You may be proud of your annual if it is a Blue R'bbon book printed by Nepald Printing Stationery Co.
