THE VOL MSON XXVII NEWTON BATEMAN MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL JACKSONVILLE, ILLINOIS PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1937 gjgfgfgfgfgfgjgjgfgjgfgfgfgfgjgjrJfrJfrJfrJfrJfrJfrJrnJ THE ATHENS OF THE WEST The Athens of the West! For more than a hundred years Jacksonville has proudly held this title. Like the ancient Grecian city, she too has devoted herself to the development in her young people of a sound mind in a sound body.” Her founders saw the first college in Illinois begin its long career of service in teaching young men. A few years later the Illinois Woman’s College (now MacMurray) was instituted to offer the same advantages to ambitious girls. During their long years of service these colleges have kept abreast the times and offer as fine educational opportunities as can be found anywhere. Nor has Jacksonville neglected her public school system. The original Jacksonville High School was one of the first free public schools in the state, and Newton Bateman, the father of public education in Illinois,” served as its first principal. Because of her many advantages Jacksonville was chosen as the site for many state institutions. Here the largest school for the deaf in the world teaches more than seven hundred children in the most modern way. The local school for the blind offers one of the few circulating libraries of Braille books in the United States. Thus through the years has the Athens of the West passed on to youth the light of educational opportunity. The orators and statesmen of ancient Greece have had their counterpart in our history. Stephen A. Douglas, the Little Giant,” began his politi- cal career when an attorney in Jacksonville. The college building where William Jennings Bryan received his early training in oratory is used today by the modern generation. Duncan Park was once the home of Governor Duncan, who was so influential in obtaining legislation for public schools. Many other native men have become well known in their respective callings. The fine old homes and elm-shaded streets of Jacksonville have distin- guished her from the ordinary Middle-Western town. So to you, Jacksonville, we ascribe the theme of our book for your not- able contribution to educational progress. May you never cease to live up to the high standards so continually maintained by our Athens of the West.” 1 [7 fr317 Fr I7J17 17 17 r? 17 fr3rF3rr 3rn317 17 17 17 In memory of her untiring efforts in seeing us through our joys and our sorrows, we, the Senior Class of 19)7, dedicate this, our yearbook., to Miss Emma Mae Leonhard, our adviser. rrSlrdlnJInJInJInJIrUf nirTSlnJInJInJInJl nJInJIixllrUlrUlnJIrUInJlnllnJrn] Contents Administration Honor Students Classes Organizations Activities Athletics Jokes Advertisements and Acknowledgments Senior Class Roll Autographs r n rn] In] fn] H3 In] Fn] In] fnl I nJ fn] fnl I nJ Fr3 fnl ITH m H71HT1 q£J C£J QiJ CiJ C£J Senior High Schooi.

Proudly risen from the prairie sod To wrap your chimney smoke about the clouds. To point your vibrant steeples to the sky. To crown with ivied glory these, your own Tradition-hallowed halls . . . Ah, Jacksonville, A hundred years and twelve or so ago All—all that you have come to be Lay, time-enfolded, in the prairie—vast, And treeless, save for a clump of cottonwoods Beside a rutted trail that wound its way From river to State Capitol . . . At last. Here on this gentle knoll the cabins clustered, Stake-and-rider fencing closed about. The lonely singing prairie grass gave way To hollyhocks, to patterned fields of green And purple-black, a public square, brick stores, And schools, broad streets with saplings bordering That battled with the prairie wind and sun To give their shade and greenery . . . My town, Athens of the West, they called you then. Athens of the West, you yet remain Where laureled wisdom came to dwell forever Stretching forth her hand to eager youth.

Trophy Case Glittering cups, bronze plaques, proud banners—these first greet our eyes as we enter our high school building. Within our trophy cases are proudly displayed the honors won by students of former years. Like the ancient Greeks, our classmates have gone forth and conquered, in athletics, football and basketball trophies; in speech work, silver cups and bronze statues. In all kinds of contests our school has proved its worth. Those symbols serve not only to decorate our halls and fill our trophy cases; to those who have earned them they mean the long and often tedious hours of preparation, grueling contests, and the exhiliration of victory. They are symbols of the contests lost as well as those won, the stimulation of match- ing wits and ability with strong opponents, and the joys of clean sportsmanship. May the cups continue to collect in our trophy case, and may Jacksonville High School students never cease to devote their time and efforts toward such worthwhile goals.

Foley Ray Gruny Fred Hopper Ralph Hutchison Lawrence T. Oxley Merle C. Reynolds RUten Hemphill Hutchison Mutch Walker Board of Control The Board of Education of Jacksonville created the Board of Control, which has general supervision over the various extra-curricular activities involving the expenditures of money by student groups in the high school. The funds of all activities are placed under the supervision of the Board of Control in order that a mature group judgment may control all expenditures. The Board of Control consists of the high school principal, the director of physical education, a high school alumnus not on the faculty, a member of the Finance Com- mittee of the Board of Education, and the superintendent of the city schools. The officers are the president, who is the high school alumnus; and the secretary-treasurer, who is elected by the Board of Control. The Board of Control meets the first Monday of every school month in the office of the Board of Education. Representatives of student organizations, faculty advisers, or other citizens inter- ested may appear before the Board of Control at any regular meeting in the interest of any of the student activities. By means of the Board of Control, the Board of Education hopes to keep the expendi- tures and incomes of the various curricular activities at a balance and under mature group control.

Her beautiful smile and charming ways have won admission for her into every group in Jacksonville High School. Joe Bagale How one person could do so much we never could figure out. Joe laughed with us and was off to do something different. His undying sense of humor and his interest in all things will always seem linked in our minds with popular Joe. Betty Brown Fun-loving, care-free Betty added a certain electrifying pep to every basketball and football game. We remember Betty as an energetic cheer leader, but also as a competent versatile leader in all the activities of our school. Don Ranson Our football hero always made those thrilling touchdowns and won our admiration. Even if he didn’t make a spectacular hit, he was in there with his broad shoulders working hard to bring fame to our school. We’ll always remember him for his happy-go-lucky smile and his stalwart good sportsmanship.

Athena Geanetos Secretary__________________________________________________Betty Brown Treasurer Edward Osborne Young upstarts; dissembled knowledge; sprouting genius; and cool-headed, logical thinkers—the epic of the history of the class of '37 remains as a memory to J.H.S. First, mere upstarts of awkward adolesence ran up and down the stairs and halls. That year they had a Hallowe’en party, at which they all proceeded to step on each other’s toes and throw punch at the decorations. It was fun and so dignified then! Bill Hemphill led us that year as president. Then as sophomores we began to acquire more knowledge. Sophistication and charm were ideals, even though we didn’t understand them. We had grown up enough, how- ever, to have a very successful dance. We did know one thing, though; we liked J.H.S. and our boy president and basketball player, Charles Kctncr. In ’36, we began to sprout with genius. The way seemed to be clearing. We pro- duced a lovely leap-year banquet, with Jane Dunlap as Toast Mistress and Roberta Butler as Chairman. Then a beautiful, dignified Prom followed, with Charles Ketner and Joe Bagale as Co-Chairmen. Values began to take their places naturally. Then suddenly we were seniors—that always honored place—looked up to by every- one. A new air of sophisticated yet friendly calm filled us. We began the year with our Senior Play, that advanced production on the understanding of adolescence. Ending the year with a memory book, we edited our J,” with Ella Marie Ncwbery as Editor. We leave it with you as a token of our knowledge given willingly by our beloved teach- ers, and as we graduate, we look clearly forward into the future with a deep, rich appre- ciation of knowledge and life.

One of the highest achievements of the season in dramatics was attained by the Junior class in a one-act play, entitled While the Toast Burns.” Students taking part in this play were: John Newbery, Clara Mae Strubinger, Helen Johnson, Charles Sevier, and Ruth Ann Wurtsbaugh. The Junior class is governed by a council made up of two students from each home room. These representatives met once a week throughout the year to discuss the business of the class and to make important decisions with the backing of the student council and the entire Junior class. A benefit movie was sponsored to earn funds for the class treasury. The most outstanding events of the entire school year were the banquet and prom sponsored by this class. Both the banquet—with Janice Hicks as chairman—and the dance—under the supervision of the Prom chairman, Harvey Scott, and the class dean. Miss Evans—were a success. This year’s Junior class has contributed much talent and ability to all the activities of the school throughout the year. Tbtriy-ftv« rp na R3 rf3 Top Rou Abell. Abernathy, Alexander, Bacon, M.

This year's crop of Sophomores differ little, if any, from the Sophomore classes of the past, other than having an extraordinary talented group of students. New material has been furnished the debate team from the class in Gratia Hall, John Self, and John Clark, winning the Waverly Invitational Tournament and establishing themselves as permanent members of the team. The Sophomores shine equally as brilliantly in the school sports, our chief pride being Charles Johnson, a regular member of the basketball squad, and also a football hero, surpassed only by two other Sophomores, Bob Spink and Winfield Chinoweth, the latter being captain of the team of '36. The Sophomore basketball team, coached by Ray Brubaker, had a successful season, winning second place in the inter-class tourna- ment. The class held a combined party-dance April 16, with a floor-show, games, stunts, and refreshments. Tbirty-enht Fourth Rou : Justin, Ericson, Baldwin, H. Allan.

Hagan Pine Johnston Freshman Class President Dallas Hagan Vice-President Robert Pine Secretary-Treasurer ___________Jim Johnston It seems that this year, as in previous years, Jacksonville High School was made a little more colorful by the entrance of a green color, freshmen, to you. This year, however, it seems that the freshmen were not as green as they looked. They carried on the activities of the school with much enthusiasm. When the initiations began, the freshmen took it on the chin.” Each one smiled when called freshie” and laughed while chewing a hunk of soap. That’s what you call a sport, and that’s what this year’s freshies” are made of. There were a few barriers that confused some for awhile—such as going to the wrong room, looking for the office, and wondering what the pink slip that Mr. Taylor hands out is for. But after a while the friendly atmosphere of our high school became home to them, and the barriers were broken. When the time came for the freshman party, a brilliant idea formed in the minds of our class president and other officers. Why not have a queen? Yes, why not was the reply when the question was put before the Freshman class. This plan was carried out and made more than enough money to finance the party. And why not? Everybody voted for the girl that he liked best, and the whole class benefited. When all votes were cast and all pennies were gone, the announcement of the queen was made: Queen, Joan Lukcman; first attendant, Dorothy Jane McPherson; second attendant, Loella Sloan. By their shy and lovable manner the freshmen have worked their way into the hearts of the upper classmen. They are looking forward to the time when they will be dignified seniors.

Iid-Semestcr Freshmen Several years ago the high school abandoned the custom of having graduation exer- cises at the close of the first semester. However, since Junior High School still has mid- year Commencement, the first of February saw a large new group of bewildered frshmen quaking in our corridors and classrooms. The middle of the year is a difficult time to enter because every one else has already settled down in his routine. This enterprising group let that be no obstacle in its path and rapidly found a place in the high school. The new members cooperated with the rest of the freshman class in giving a very success- ful party. The school may well feel that this group is a valuable addition to the student body. Two members of each class graduating from Junior High School are honored with a special award given at their Commencement. These awards are presented by the Ameri- can Legion to the boy and girl who are most outstanding in all phases of school life. Scholarship, service, good citizenship, courage, and character are all taken into account. The representatives chosen this time were Parke Bowman and Betty Barnes. All in all, we expect a great deal from this new freshman group and anticipate that by the time they are seniors they will have become outstanding in all types of school activity.

Buetcher, Weaver, Prewitt, Heneghan, Taylor, Koenig, Wilton, Findley Band Preside tit Bi n Di nm Secretary Adelina Bf.ntina Donn Watson’s advent to the directorship of the High School Band found the Band in unfortunate circumstances. Nearly all of the prominent members had been graduated. For instance, in the cornet section all of the members but one were freshmen. Therefore, instead of preparing and giving the usual series of concerts, it was necessary to establish fundamentals in music. During the year the Band gave two assemblies, besides playing at basketball and football games. On the last day of school before the Christmas vacation it played carols before a large gathering on the public square. The bulk of the year has been taken up in teaching note and rest values, building all of the Major scales, and developing music interpretation. Band was a regular part of the school curriculum for which credit was given. It met during the seventh period. For advancement and cooperation, letters and silver or gold pins were given. To the most outstanding member of the band one of the coveted Silver JY' was given. The band was indeed fortunate to have such a high caliber mu- sician as director.

The activities of the club in the past year have made one of the best seasons since its establishment as the boys musical organization at J. H. S., and we are sure that these nine months will be remem- bered always by those who took advantage of the chance to develop musical talent and true appreciation. During this time, the club gave many performances to various Jacksonville groups and presented programs for the school on several occasions. The boys, as usual, took part in an operetta and spring concert. Some members were in a selected group of upper- classmen who sang at the Junior-Senior Banquet. The organization was especially fortunate this year to have seven students from the body chosen to attend the State Chorus at Champaign, and to have its director, Miss Hopper, picked as one of the three chorus advisers. Those chosen were: Joe Bagale, Curtis Engelman, Dwight Hopper, Bill Green, Rowe Samuell, Harold Littler, and Warren Rimbey.

Commercial Club President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer___________ Ad riser........... Wallace Kinnett Marjorie Ann Smith Ruth Clement Louise Linuemann Miss Mildred George The objects of the Commercial Club are to encourage high standards of efficiency and achievements; to instill worthy business ethics and ideals; to increase interest in the members with modern progressive business systems, materials, and equipment for the benefit of its members; and to raise money for its commercial department. The club met, during the past year, the second and fourth Tuesday of every month, after school, in the east study hall. For programs it had speakers from various institu- tions and business houses in the city. These speakers gave helpful talks on business methods, possibilities, and fields that are promising today. Debates were held at some meetings. These formal arguments proved entertaining as well as informing, and a great deal was derived from such gatherings. Plays illustrating modern enterprise of different types were enjoyable and beneficial. On other occasions, when a problem of interest to the whole club came up, an informal discussion, with President Wallace Kinnett in charge, was the main event. The Commercial Club owes its success to its adviser. Miss Mildred George, whose devoted labor and everlasting efforts have guided this group well. Forty-mine AtfiA Ron Findley. Auuin, Sevier.

The season was opened with tryouts, followed by a reception for new members. Immediately production of a sixteenth century play, Gammer Gurton’s Needle, was begun. This play was given successfully before the assembly in October. In November the club enjoyed a turkey dinner, honoring Thanksgiving, given in the cafeteria. The social life of the club reached its peak on December 21. when the Dramatic Club Hop was held in the David Prince Gym. At this time Emma Lee Walls was crowned Queen of the Hop, being previously elected by the student body. The success of the Hop was largely due to the efforts of Joe Bagale as chairman, Charles Thompson as decorator, and the ticket committee, composed of John Clark and John Self. In January the club turned irs attention back to play production and gave a popular comedy, For the Love of Pete, before the student body. As a climax, the contest play, The Traitor, by Percival Wilde, was presented to four audiences. Fifty TP Rack Ron —Thompson, B. Oxtoby, Ruby, Ator, N'une . Vilcoxrn, Lowery, Swam, Hagan.

The year was started by the initiation of a group of promising young members, the future back- bone of the club. The programs of the meetings consisted of debates and discussions of current affairs. Much enjoyment, as well as good training, was afforded to the members at these meetings. As usual, the Forum furnished most of the material for the varsity debate teams. Be- cause of the fact that the National Speech Tournament visited this city the Forum, along with other divisions of the speech department, enjoyed an exceptional year in which speech work was watched by the whole school. Many of the contestants sent to various tournaments by the Speech Club were members of the Forum and had been trained in the past by its adviser. Miss Emma Mae Leonhard. Meetings were held twice each month and were looked forward to eagerly by all members of the club. Fifty-omr Bdi k Rom—Reeve. Sinwn, Hantmor, M.wion, Wilton, Hadden, Houston.

It goes under the name of Future Farmers of America. The local organization is only one of many such clubs located in schools throughout the nation to further interest in farming and to instruct would-be agriculturalists in the trials and tribulations of the farmer. Much helpful advice is passed out, and this same advice will no doubt help the students over many problems in the future. There are four degrees in this organization. The first and lowest of these is the Green Hand. Then comes the Future Farmer class. The third step is the State Farmer, and the last is the American Farmer. In the year just concluded meetings were held on the first Monday of each month. The other activities of the group included: Annual corn and poultry show; judging contests; the local Junior corn show; and a vocational fair, held at the same time as the Morgan County Fair. The club also sponsors a very successful basketball team. Fifty'tuo iJreJfsJriJpiJrgJfgJfsJrgJnUfaJr=JFilf JRJraJfaJnJrgJrsifaJraJfaJiaJ 04ck Rom—Pittillo, Simondi. Shumaker.

Girls’ Club President _ Roberta Butler Vice-President Athena Geanetos Secretary_______________________________________________ Elaine Drake Treasurer Glenna Twyford Advisers Miss Norma Perbix, Miss Clara Smith The Girls’ Club is one of the largest and best clubs in the high school and offers many opportunities for girls to improve their scope both socially and educationally. Along both of these lines the past year has been exceptional. Meetings were held twice each month on Wednesday afternoon. At these meetings many delightful as well as beneficial programs were enjoyed. The very variety of these programs itself made the club a desirable activity in that the organization held some inducement for practically every girl. Some meetings were presentations by members; others were of entirely different types. Yet each program proved inviting and worth- while to all the students. The overwhelming success of the Girls’ Club is due largely to the great amount of time contributed by the faculty advisers. Miss Clara Smith and Miss Norma Perbix. Their capable supervision was the guiding hand which made this group one of the leading organizations at J.H.S. Much of the credit also should go to the president, Roberta Butler, and to the other officers who held the student power and handled it well. Fifty-three Buck Ro Natcy. A Reed. R Long.

It was intended to broaden their musical vision and inspire a taste for classical music. Many of the outstanding music students in past years have received their training in this club and have found the experience most helpful, as well as the source of much entertainment. In cooperation with other musical organ- izations of the school the Girls Glee Club has taken part in several programs in Jackson- ville. At these times the high reputation of this club was upheld, due to the whole- hearted participation of all members. Each year some one project is undertaken by the club. In the year, 1936-1937, the operetta by Otis M. Carrington— Margie Goes Modern”—was presented as the one out- standing piece of work. In the meetings, which were held regularly throughout the year, the time was spent singing and working on the operetta. The Girls Glee Club has proved to its members to be a worthwhile organization, due largely to the constant effort of its ever-willing director. Miss Lena Mae Hopper. Fifly-four Bat k Rom—Jackson. B.

One of the major projects of the year was a series of vocational guidance talks given at the meetings by various successful business and pro- fessional persons of the city. These presentations included dentistry, optometry, politics, and several other important occupations. No doubt, on hearing these talks, many boys became interested in what may be their future vocation. At least, a broader knowledge of different fields was acquired. Some members of Hi-Y attended the convention at Springfield, from which a great deal of benefit was derived. The advisers of Hi-Y were Mr. William Vickery and Mr. A. D. Hermann, who saw that members were given true enjoyment as well as desirable benefits. f'liyf� B ck Ron—Johnson, Fisher, Luktman, Curry. Ator, Neece, B. Nichols, Carl, Williams. Dunniway.

Knitting Club President ...........— Setretary Treasurcr ____________ Ad i iter Maxine Hicks Joan Gilchrist Martha Curry Miss Louise Sheppard The housewives of tomorrow have been capably trained this year in the useful art of knitting. One of the most practical clubs of the high school, the Knitting Club, met each Fridav after school during the past two semesters to accomplish this very purpose. The club was organized in the fall of 1936 by energetic and eager young women of the school who wanted to acquire or develop ability in this line. Many of the members had never tried it before. Others had already become quite successful in the past. The instructor and supervisor was Miss Sheppard, a member of the faculty who was thoroughly equipped to instruct along this line. Much was accomplished during the year, and quite a sizable income was derived from various sources. One of these sources was the selling of ice cream bars at basketball games. Also a bake sale was held, from which some money was derived. All of the girls who took part in the activities of this club feel now that their work has been worth while and educational. A great deal has been learned, and all feel sure that the club will continue to prosper in the future.

Rah! Rah! Rah! Who could that be? You guessed it! It’s Pep Squad, once more cheering on the boys in some athletic contest. These live-wire boosters have really put a capital P” on pep this year by making their presence known with stirring, new, tongue-tying yells and songs at both out-of-town and home football and basketball games. The red-and-whiters,” nucleus of the cheering section, enlarged their group this year when boys joined to supply volume to the yells. Arrayed in their brilliant, color- ful outfits, Pep Squad members produced many artistic and symmetrical figures on the football field, adding much to the spirit of the day. Sticking untiringly to their work, the four feminine cheer leaders, Becky Rantz, Patty Norbury, Corena Deere, and Betty Brown, aided by the three new, noisy masculine leaders. Staff, Baptist, and DcOrnellas, showed their ability in the art of leading yells and songs. In due respect to all the work that the four girls had put forth in two years of un- faltering leading, red and white J’s” were presented to them by Coach Walker in an assembly. So come on, everybody, yell! Let’s give fifteen rah’s to Pep Squad, its cheer leaders, and its director.

There are. They belong to the Science Club and have found the knowledge derived very helpful. Under the capable supervision of its adviser. Miss Helen Kamm, the Science Club has forged ahead to become one of the foremost organizations at J.H.S. Although founded only in 1935, this new activity for scientfically minded students has grown con- siderably and today has many benefits to offer the prospective members. The aim of the Science Club is to widen the field of knowledge of its members along scientific lines and to further interest in the field of science having to do with life—plant and animal. During the past year the Science Club has held regular meetings twice a month in room 104. The meetings w'crc held after school and were the occasions for many in- teresting programs. For several of these meetings a field trip of seasonal nature was enjoyed. On these trips the members studied birds, trees, geologic formations, ferns, mosses, fungi, and the common flora and fauna of the community. Whenever possible the members attended the state geologic survey meetings and trips. Fifty- igh Btck Row—Findley, Sevier, Horcth. Koenig. Hermann, Card, Sibert, Thompaon.

In our high school Mr. Vickery, coach of speech, has found unusual talent and has developed it into a successful team. Concluding its second year of organized work, the Speech Club has a contest record of which a like group of long standing would be proud. It has had successful entries in State Speech League and National Forensic League contests, competing in all divisions of speech work: humorous declamation, dramatic declamation, oratory, and verse interpretation. Regular meetings have been held throughout the year, and many interesting pro- grams have been the result. Members of the Illinois College and MacMurray College Speech Departments have entertained the club at various meetings, while at other gather- ings individuals from their own body g3ve speeches learned with untiring effort. These presentations showed the result of true talent developed by an experienced coach. Many interesting trips were taken during the season, and each participant in a contest felt amply repaid for his work after one of these enjoyable occasions. The honors of the year were divided among an unusual number of eager des’otees to the art of speaking.

Miss Kathryn Frentzel, and the common interest of tennis caused a new section of girls’ athletics to be organized this year. Carol McClelland was elected president, and she appointed secretaries for each division, since the girls were di- vided into two groups—beginners and veterans. So that the unexperienced members could learn, two of each type were assigned for each hour on the various courts through- out the city, at least once a week. After each player had twelve hours of tennis activity recorded by the secretary of her group, she was given a club pin with a tiny racket on it. Not to be outdone after Old Man River” had fixed it so that the girls could not play tennis out-of-doors, these determined girls foxed” him by playing ping pong in the gymnasium in the school. For the remainder of the winter months the organization turned into the Ping Pong Club,” but tennis was resumed in the spring. The net” profit gained by the members can be found by totaling the fun of learning and playing tennis, of going to the different courts of the city, and of being together under the direc- tion of Miss Kathryn Frentzel. Here’s wishing luck to another one of those worthy organizations founded by Miss Frentzel, while your sports reporter signs off!

Under the inspiring direc- tion of Miss Hopper the year proved to be a very successful one. Regular meetings were held each Monday and Wednesday during the sixth period. Among the activities of the club was the annual May Festival, held in the spring. The Treble Clef had the honor of sending five representatives to the State Chorus in Cham- paign—namely: Genevieve Rawlings, Carol McClelland, Catherine Jane Allan, Barbara Butler, and Betty Trabue. These members told the club of their experience at Cham- paign and instilled the desire in every girl to be in this group when she was a senior. A Christmas program in connection with the Jacksonville High School Band and the vari- ous choral organizations of the school was presented down town during the Christmas season. Then they spent an enjoyable evening singing at hospitals and homes of the city. The club gave various programs throughout the year for local organizations and main- tained its previous high reputation. Following precedent, the seniors attended an opera late in the school year.

Tri-Y President Roberta Butler Vice-President----------------------------------- Barbara Butler Secretary ......................... Clara Mae Strubinger Treasurer ...................................... Patty Norbury Adviser............................. Miss Louise Sheppard Tri-Y will always be remembered as one of the highly desirable girls’ organizations of Jacksonville High School. Its purpose has been to create and maintain clean speech, clean living, and clean sportsmanship. These ideals have truly been lived up to in the school year just concluded, and the former reputation of the club has been upheld with flying colors. The club consisted of thirty girls from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. Regular meetings were held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, at which time programs of unusual interest were enjoyed. These programs consisted of talks by local professional persons, who were especially prepared on the assigned subjects. The most important event of the year was the Alumnae Banquet, given on February 14. As is the annual custom, local Tri-Y members attended the convention in Springfield. Those who attended derived a great deal of benefit and felt the time was well spent. The adviser of the club was Miss Sheppard, whose devotion and effort proved to be the origin of the club’s success; for, with the cooperation of the officers and club members, she furthered the purposes of Tri-Y and increased its prestige.

Under the student activity plan, each student receives a copy of the Herald, published every Friday. The Alumni and Literary Sections were important parts of the Herald. Probably the best-liked portion of the paper was the humor column, led by the school-famous sketch—the one and only Archibald Hicks. This feature was one of the great mysteries of J.H.S., for no one knew the author. The new Herald is a six-page, mimeographed sheet. On the staff have been found former students of journalism and younger students interested in such work. Under the guidance of Miss Moore, journalistic adviser, and Miss George, produc- tion adviser, the Herald has been a success. Tribute should also be given to Editor-in- Chief, Kathryn Mae Hitte, who was always faithful in directing the staff and always willing to give her time for the betterment of the paper. Sixiy-tiM JralrgJpUpUi=Jp fgJi=J[=JfgJfaJr!JnJRJrsipUfgJfair=Jrgi|gifaJiglr National Speech Tournament Jacksonville High School suddenly woke up to what a debate tournament really is, as nearly a thousand of the best speakers and debaters in the United States gathered at the National Speech Tournament held during the first week in May. Even as orators and statesmen used to meet in the Agora of ancient Athens, so the modern generation of public speakers assembled in the Athens of the West. School was dismissed for two days while representatives of schools from Maine to California thronged our corridors. Teams from thirty-two states, each a state champion or runner-up, competed in this, the Seventh Annual Speech Tournament. Only six other cities have ever had the honor of entertaining the National Tourna- ment. In 1931 the National Forensic League sponsored the first one in Ripon, Wisconsin. Others have been held at Sioux City, Iowa; Wooster, Ohio; Topeka, Kansas; Kent, Ohio; and Oklahoma City. The competition for acting as host to this year’s meet was very great, but due to Jacksonville’s great interest and continued success in debate work and the many advantages offered by her location, background, and facilities, Jacksonville High School was chosen. A very delightful program was enjoyed by both guests and hosts. Two banquets were held in MacMurray Dining Hall, with Governor Horner as the guest speaker at one. At the other banquet the guests were entertained by the Coaches’ After-Dinner Speaking Contest in which the coaches became participants and presented a very clever and enjoy- able program. Plays and athletic games were provided by the colleges, and the whole high school cooperated to make the affair run as smoothly as possible. All preliminary rounds were held on Monday and Tuesday, and results were announced Tuesday night. On Wednesday the elimination rounds continued, and finals in individual events were held Thursday evening. The National Champions and the National Championship De- bate were broadcast on Friday. A magnificent trophy, the National High School Forensic Award, was presented to the school having the most rounds of national tournament competition to its credit. These points arc accumulated from year to year until the school receives this handsome cup. Topeka, Kansas, won the first National Forensic Award given in 1936. Unfor- tunately all results of National Tournament competition were unknown as the J” went to press. Mr. Harold E. Gibson of the high school was tournament manager. Housing ac- commodations were provided by the citizens of Jacksonville under the direction of the Chamber of Commerce. High School students acted as chairmen, time-keepers, ticket- takers, and guides, and thus they came to know visiting contestants both informally and by hearing them on the platform. The continued excellence of Jacksonville’s debate teams was the primary factor which brought the tournament to our school. Jacksonville is the only school in the nation which has qualified for all seven national meets. Ever since 1931 our debaters have been so prominent that they won the state meets and succeeded several times in ranking high in the National. For this reason we have printed the pictures of winning teams for four years back and on behalf of the school give these debaters and their coach. Mr. Harold Gibson, a hearty vote of thanks.

However, the two new sophomore members showed their ability and successfully held up their end of the debating throughout the year. The seasons began with a practice tournament held in Jacksonville, in which Jack- sonville tied with Pekin for first place. Several practice debates were held. Then the debaters placed fifth at an invitational tournament held at Rock Island. A handsome trophy was won by the negative at Waverly late in March. After winning fourth in the National Forensic Meet at Lincoln, Jacksonville success- fully defended her title in the Western District at Macomb, winning the championship for the seventh consecutive year. The results of the State Meet at Champaign and the National, both of which the debate teams entered, were unknown as the J” went to press. The team, under the expert coaching of Mr. Harold E. Gibson, was made up of Barbara Butler and Jane Dunlap, seniors, and Gratia Hall and John Clark, sophomores. Stvrmty Bmck Row—Auitin, Brubikcr, Bagalc, Geanccof. Ingram, Clark.

Speech Team The members of the speech team were chosen from the speech club according to their excellence in practice tournaments during the first semester. The speakers on the team and the divisions in which they participated are: Ray Brubaker, Bob Austin, oratorical declamation; John Clark, Jane Dunlap, extemporaneous speaking; Athena Geanetos, Helen Ingram, humorous reading; Betty Trabue, Carol McClelland, original oratory; Mary Frances Gaumer, Joe Bagale, dramatic reading; Kathryn May Hitte, verse interpretation. Competition of the season included the state N. F. L. at Lincoln and the sub- district, district, and state contests of the I. H. S. S. L. In the latter, four of the six speakers entered in the sub-district went to the dis- trict; there every one placed, and Jane Dunlap and Mary Frances Gaumer qualified for the state finals at Champaign. Several of the contestants were entered in the National Speech Tournament held in this city. The team is proud of the fact that in its second year of existence it captured the sub-district and district for the second time. Credit for a great deal of the success must go to Mr. Vickery for giving his time and attention to the individual training of each student. It is also to be noted that only one of the group has studied elocution under any other instructor. Five of the team are seniors, but the others will return next year for a new and greater season of speech work. Setemty-ome btck Ron—Findley, I. Long, Landit. Tholen, Twyford, Yard, Summer� .

The Cafeteria is also the scene of many suppers and banquets. Tri-Y has held several of its bi-monthly banquets in the Cafeteria. The Football and Commercial Club banquets were housed there. These suppers were served at a minimum price with maxi- mum service. During the National Speech Tournament, the Cafeteria served three meals daily for the visiting students. In addition to serving the student body, the Cafeteria offers opportunity for work for many N. Y. A. students. Sevruty-tuo Sri emty -three Assemblies Brrr! Brrr! Brrr! It’s the assembly bell! Everyone makes a mad rush for the audi- torium because there is no doubt that the program will be interesting. By means of the activity ticket we have made possible more assemblies and more interesting programs. We shall never forget the marionette show or that good-looking ranger. Max Gil- strap—at least, the girls won’t. Then Mr. Sen, the Indian, enlightened us about his people. Dr. Cooper and Leon Albert told us about South America and Venezuela. And, of course, we shall always remember the interesting and educational talk given by Mrs. Wood. The most entertaining programs were given by the deep sea diver. Royal Mountie, and Dr. White, the scientist. Then we mustn’t forget Billy Bones, the poet; Caveny, the clay modeler and cartoonist; and Dr. Worth, the grave-digger. And we haven’t even mentioned the swell movies. Also, the plays were varied and entertaining. Gammer Gurton’s Needle,” with Patty Norbury and Mary Frances Gaumcr in that terrible fight; While the Toast Burns,” with John Ncwbery and Clara Mae' Strubinger again starring together as the fond mama and papa. For the Love of Pete,” with those love-birds, Roberta Butler and Red Black, as the main characters. The Traitor,” in which Red Black showed off his English ac- cent; Margie Goes Modern,” the operetta in which Vcta Mae Walker spoke of that someone who loved her. And our pep assemblies! Were they ever peppy, with Betty Brown, Corena Deere, Patty Norbury, and Becky Rantz as cheer leaders! Last but not least, came those assemblies in which Mr. Mutch gave us advice and criticism on our conduct. The assembly has been a means of bringing entertaining as well as educational programs to the student body. Homecoming One of the biggest events of the year and the high point of the football season is Homecoming. This year Homecoming was October 17, and the big game was scheduled with Jcrseyville, one of the toughest teams we met during the season. In spite of the fact that our boys played a fine game, we were defeated by a 14-0 score. The biggest crowd of the year, some 2400 spectators, joined in the enthusiasm that made this Homecoming one of the biggest in the school’s history. Then, too, this year the Pep Squad added a great deal to the occasion. This body of about 60 students, gaily dressed in their bright red and white outfits, accompanied by the school band formed a parade and marched from the school to the football field sing- ing, yelling at the tops of their voices. Between halves of the game the Pep Squad and Band gave impressive drills and formations on the field. At night the big Homecoming dance was held in D. P. Gym from 9 to 12 with music furnished by Goes’ orchestra. The defeat of the game seemed to have no saddening effect on the dance which was greatly enjoyed by everyone.

The very pleasing specialty numbers included tap-dancing by those sophisticated Woods twins, Mary Louise Gilbert, Betty Jane Taylor, and by Dorothy Meyer; novelty song tunes by the Melody Maids—Clara Mae Strubinger, Lucille Wyatt, and Louise Driver-----, Marjorie Axe, Maurice Driver, and by Melba Abernathy; and last, but not least, little Catherine Oxley, that famous contortionist, did an acrobatic dance. Homer Woods very capably directed the chorus; and Fred Lynn, the end-men; while Marjorie Warlick played the piano accompaniment for all numbers.

Nevertheless, this was one of the most outstanding in the year. Who could overlook the pain he got when Bill Hemphill (George McIntyre) did those silly things characteristic of an adolescent boy? Or those fiery fights between him and his awkward sister, Carol McClelland (Terry McIntyre), who was continually snoop- ing, making breaks, and learning how to vamp her man? Then, of course, the high point in the play was that scene between Bud Black (the bored Dutch”) and that vamp, Prudence Darling (Catherine Jane Allan). Mom McIntyre and Pop McIntyre were unusually maternal and paternal (respect- ively, Jane Dunlap and Joe Bagale). The absent-minded professor and his logical wife will always be remembered with honor on our pages. The supporting cast also gave star performances. They were: Roberta Butler, Corene Deere, Betty Brown, Athena Geanetos, Mary Roach, Patty Norbury, Betty Trabue, Warren McMasters, Edward Newport, Robert Hermann, Donald Oxley, and Arthur Galloway. ar=itaJpiipuiaifajpjfgjpufanaifafajfsj[aJniJtsifaJpj[iUfaJ[aI[S Left to Right: Engtlmin.

The Traitor The contest play of the class of 1937, The Traitor,” being so excellently staged and directed, was an appropriate climax to the remarkable dramatic talent of its cast. At the time that this goes to print, the cast has been a winner in both the district and sectional contests and so has qualified for the state meet. The play was successfully presented as an assembly in February. The play itself was unique in that it had an all male cast. It was capably directed by Miss Frances Brown. The play, set in South America during the Boer War, portrays the plan of Colonel Anstruthers (Bud Black) to capture the Traitor (Charles Thompson). According to the plan. Lieutenant Edwards (Joe Bagale) pretends to be the traitor and is sentenced to death by the Colonel’s staff consisting of Major Mac Laurin (Warren McMasters), Captain Willoughby (Charles Thompson), Captain Grantham (Don Oxley), Captain Bates (John Newbery), Captain Parker (Curtis Engelman). The plan succeeds, and Willoughby bursts forth with a plan of mercy for Edwards. This, in the Colonel’s eyes, is an admission of guilt; and Willoughby is sentenced to be shot at dawn. Atmosphere was lent the play by the Orderly” Bob Hermann, whose whole shadow constantly crossed the side of the tent. Although the length of this play was only fifteen minutes, it was full of tenseness and excitement, which helped to make it successful when given before several audiences. irprmty-u i rm fnl 173173 fr3 fr3 fr3173173173 fnl fnl frS f?3173 Ini fir3 F73 fP fr3 fr E Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom The annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom this year were in the high peaks of the activities of the school year. The Juniors entertained and fed the Seniors not just suffi- ciently, but royally! The Banquet was served in McClelland Dining Hall at 6:30 on April 2. No gala event has ever surpassed its excellence. Even though a few Seniors had to take out their sheets of etiquette occasionally (or at least they should have), the group behaved in an unusually good manner. The distinguished after-dinner speakers—Warren Rimbey, Betty Lu Oxley, Athena Geanetos, Emmilene Jewsbury, Joe Bagale, Harvey Scott, and Principal J. C. Mutch— sailed on smoothly to entertain the audience with appropriate remarks on the theme, Sailing On!” The Junior-Senior Choir, under the direction of Miss Lena Mae Hopper, sang Columbus.” Then we mustn’t forget the accomplished toastmaster of the evening. Bob Hickle, the Junior class president. In an hour after the last note of ringing oratory died upon Mr. Mutch’s lips, the orchestra of Shaw Mank struck the opening note of a rythmical song. And swing! The ballroom was a vast panorama of swirling skirts and swaying figures. The tinkle of laughter blended with the swinging music. Then the lights were dimmed and a huge beam from the spotlight swung across the shining floor. Suddenly a shower of confetti dashed down in shining flakes on the heads of the dancers. Chaw Mank again in the closing piece, and the Junior-Senior Prom sailed to a close.

It was presented twice, on the night of April 29 and on the afternoon of April 30. This May Fete has always been one of the gala events of the year for Jacksonville High School students. The program was divided into three parts: the first, a group of selections sung by Treble Clef, Boys’ Glee Club, and Choir; the second, a recital of songs by the guest performer. Miss Winona Rawlings, soprano; the third, the crowning of the May Queen, stately Jane Dunlap, in a gay program of music and dances. The Maypole and Garland Wreath dances were presented with greater talent and ability than ever before. The long line of beautiful girls in lovely formals, standing amid a smiling chorus of dancers and looking to their Queen, left the audience with a thrill never to be forgotten. It was truly a striking spectacle with which to greet the coming May. Btck Rou—M. f. Alien. Strubingcr. Butler. Trabue. Brubiker. Rawlings. Bourn.

I slitor of The Herald Calendar Sept. S—It'� a (lurry of books, new outfits, and joyous greetings! The first day of school! Sept IS—The initiation of our football season started not with a bang,” but with a tie. It was with Pittsfield. Remember? Tennis Club for Girls organized itself, and rackets certainly were the latest thing. Sept. 24-25—Vacation already again! But it didn't last long. Just two days. Maybe it was that dismal thought which caused us to lose to Bcardstown in football. Sept. 29—The world seemed to go miniature when we saw that marion- ette show in assembly first period. Wasn't it cute? Oct. 3—Who said 13 was an unlucky number? Maybe it is for some schools. I guess J. H. S. is just unique. We won a football game from Girard, 13-01 Oct. 7—In this case straw caused leaves,” because a majority vote that went large for the Republican candidate, l.andon, surely made Roosevelt leave our hearts for a second. Oct. 9—That lucky score! This time Winchester groaned below our smashing victory of 13-0. Oct. 10—Flash! New Berlinitcs met J'villites (girls) in a play” meet at the dignified town of New Berlin. Oct. 13— Stop! Look! Listen! Crash! Don't be rash! We're even scared now to drive our vehicles. That Safety Assembly made us feel jumpy. Oct. 17—It was too bad we had to lose our homecoming game in foot- ball. We made it up that night, though. Remember the banquet and that punch-drinking crowd at the dance? Oct. If— Gammer Gurton's Needle certainly left you gasping. Can’t you still hear Gammer Gurton croaking, I want my needle! and the freshies shaking from their curly hair to the tips of their toes? Oct. 24— Whew! What a game! We didn't let it be a White-haul either. They only scored one extra point. And how we did yell! Oct. 26—Thomas Edison surely was a great man. Who could deny il after we saw those pictures of him in assembly? Oct. 27 Dramatic Club on a spree! It wasn't paper wads that sailed through the dignified air of Fast Study Hall, but screwy Hallowe'en hats. The party was out early, too, for everybody but a few can- died apples. Oct. 2 —A second Gene Raymond from Yosemitc set all the girls gasp- ing and the boys whistling for days. Oct. 30 We don’t think the football boys wear walk-over shoes, but they surely did walk over Carrollton with a score of 21-6'. Nov. 3—Coming election forecasts! Another straw vote went Republi- can! Elephants surely swing their trunks around J. H. S. (Lots of tinies to the debaters, too.) Nov. 4 Mr. Sen. an Indian, talked to an audience without the shining faces of State Chorus members. They left that morning and pre- sented their beaming faces, instead, to dear University of Illinois, who rather gave ’em a rub on the nose. Nov. 5—The Democrats celebrate. We present Roosevelt, the man and the President of the United States. Nov. 6 Another vacation dropped in. The teachers went to Cham- paign to join the singers. Nov. 7—Still no school called the happy absentees. Gee! How they rallied to that football game, though! Carlinville went down in defe !2- . before our onslaught. This time the vacation must have made us feel good! Nov. II—Another team bit the dust. and this time it was poor Virginia. J. H. S. surely tromped on 'em in football. We loined the Armistice Day parade after a suitable program. Nov. 16—Well, we had one o' those assemblies on the ticket plan the fifth period. It was pretty swell, too! Stocks, stocks, any kind of stocks! Buy from J. H. S. Enterprise, Inc., and be quick or you'll miss the chance of making money. (They have to make money, you know, ‘cause Mr. Gibson's in on it.) Nov. 20— Gee, tell me. How does my dress look? The students of J. H. S. were surely all Bounced up. Even the boys wore ties that choked them so they couldn't recite. Also we noticed a few of our dignified teachers a-hemmmg before mir- rors. Now, can you guess what the event was? The J started taking our pictures. The members of the J” Staff had not been noticed formerly, but then they came out in front of the bright lights (of the camera). Oh. and then the faculty went to Woodson for a meet carrying their good looks with them. Nov. 21— The Battle of Bunker Hill surely was a terrific one. Ener- getic bombardments and plenty of speeches at the famous Bunker Hill tourney. Jane Dunlap and Barb Butler came out of it rather battered but with the prizes of second and fourth places, respectively, in extemporaneous speaking. There’s always something to take the joy out of life. Roodhouse kicked that football a little too hard and defeated our football team. Oh! Well, we’ll have better luck next time. Nov. 23—The Dramatic Club dined exclusively in the J. H. S. Cafe- teria and laughed heartily at those after-dinner speakers. Nov. 24-25— Bang! It was the Minstrel. Two nights of hilarious en- tertainment. And oh, how those end men cracked those |okes! They certainly were the end of lots of people in the audience (or are they called end men because there are always some loose ends in every show?). Nov. 26—More football! This time with I. S. D. We slid over a snowy field to a cold but grand victory amidst another Thanksgiving. Dec. t—New Berlin went down by a score of 37-31. Then Dr. Cooper gave a grand lecture accompanied by slides de- scribing South Africa. Dec. 10-11—Oh, what pains we had when we saw Growing Pains pre- sented by the Senior Class! Remember dumb Bill Hemphill and Carol McClelland’s fights? (To forget is oft’ sublime, though.) Dec. II—Lost two games in one night—one to Pittsfield, and the other to Carrollton. It’s hard t' take, but our team was split. Remember? Dec. 17—We lost to Beardstown in basketball. Dec. It—What happened While the Toast Burned ? If you think carefully, I think you can still sec the fight between Helen Johnson and Charles Sevier (who had a banana) for that love letter. Thank you. Juniors, for the grand play! Also we beat Converse in basketball and got Safety presented to us in assembly. Dec. 1 We always knew that Jacksonville was full of Hoppers.” but now the whole town turned hoppers” for the night. The cause was the Annual Dramatic Club Hop, the runner-up to the Prom as a big dance. This year we had a queen of queens, too, Mimi Walls. Dec. 13—Well, we lost to Routt in basketball. You know the best place for a basketball team is up (towards the basket) but there have to be some downs. In football, however, it’s just the oppo- site. It’s the downs that count. Maybe our boys are just too good at football! Eilbly l[5irsJfaJfai[aJisJraJp!Jfi!JrsJ[siraJfsJtsJp ltsJraJraJfgJiaJnJ[=JPUr Miss Pearson joined us in January Some Seniors! Mr. Vickery coached Growing Pains Calendar Jan. 4— Facing Life brought u« a new slant on thing . Mr . Veil� Wood told u� a lot of new and interesting thing� in assembly. Remember ? Jan. I—That new slant on thing� is surely holding true. We beat Feitshans. 22-9, in basketball. I guess we've come to the ups? Jan. 7-—Calling all electricity! Calling all electricity! Where it went we don't know. But we -do know that we had one of the worst leet storms we’d ever seen. Avalanches of sparklingly beautiful but cruel ice certainly slicked J'ville into a terrible condition. Jan. I—Lights out! And school was out! We couldn't read without lights; so they dismissed us from the darkness of the school house. Jan. 13— Deep Sea Diving for J. H. $.! There was so much to see, in fact, that it left us very much at sea to know what to look at nett. Our lecturer let us in on many of the secrets of the ocean. Even tome of our extremely sea-green freshmen became doubly green with envy to sec the green sea. Jan. If—We really routed Routt in basketball. Such a grand victory for the Crimsons certainly sent the sparkle into our eyes again. Jan. 16—Lott of debate teams had the chance of sharpening their rather keen brains on the steel ones of J. H. S. Saturday in a debate prac- tice tournament. There were some blocks of wood. too. but they were willing to serve at standing stones for sharper brains. There was lots of good Pekin, too. Jan. 17—What a play! And they certainly played mostly on words, as far at we could see. But Black teemed to be right in his ele- ment. And, by the way, he surely did pass the Screen Test. Jan. 21-22—Gee, were we scared! Everyone even dusted off his school books so he could explore the depths of knowledge (because he knew if he didn’t he’d be in the depths of the grades). Jan. 26—J. H. S. Assembly explored the heights of Eskimo Land with a member of the Canadian mounted police. We got to tee dogs whipped (into shape) and just loads of beautiful pelts. Jan. 26—J. H. S. honors its athletes! There was something for both teams today. Football boys received their letters, and the basketball boys met Whitehall in basketball. Jan. 30—The debaters went on a practice trip to Vaverly. It was lots of fun! Feb. 2—Lost! A game to Feitshans. We’re on the downs again. Feb. 3—The debaters skipped to Lincoln and had tome more non-deci- sion debates. Feb. f—Mr. Pulaski played us in basketball. Feb. f-6—The debaters went bye in their Ford again. This time it was to Rock Island and Augustana College, where they got to the semi-finals. Feb. 9—Another assembly which got us out of classes. More fun! Feb. 10—Springfield came here for another non-decision debate. Feb. II— The Moon over the 'silver-topped' trees fell on Romeo and Juliet and their famous balcony scene. (I guess it fell so fast that it made Romeo fall hard, too.) There was a debate with Louisiana, too. Feb. 13—-Our basketball team was certainly up to the basket and way up on the score above Waverly. Feb. 19—The debaters finally got some decisions! They went to Pekin, where Pekin negative won from Jacksonville Afirmatis e to make the score one to one between those teams. Then t r debaters went to Macomb where the negative won one and the afirmative had a non- decision debate. (The judge had to go to a funeral.) Feb. 23—An impressive play. The Traitor, was presented by Dramatic Club. We all got fooled, too. We thought that Joe was the traitor. Feb. 25—Macomb came down for another debate. It was alto non- decision. Feb. 26—Billy Jones surely cracked a boner, when he reminded us that there were always two ways to go. (Some of our students, however, seem to be staying for along time in the sophomore class.) He had us being shipped into shape instead of whipped, as the Mounted Policeman did. March 3-4—Our basketball team was surely a top-notcher in the Re- gional. In fact, we were only second to Springfield. March S—Mr. Caveny, the clay modeler and cartoonist, entertained us the first period. We guest Mr. McDonald never did think that Mr. Caveny gave him all the hair he was due. March 10—A trip to Lincoln and a stop in Pritty’s was the schedule for the debate team. March II—Another assembly! Goody! It was the third period. Re- member? March 13—Gee. how the speech kids skidooed across the ice down to Dupo for a forced overnight trip. We hear that Roberta Butler didn’t have her tooth-brush, and even all the seniors had to swallow their dignity and sleep without their pajamas. It certainly was a punny business, with Ray Brubaker along, too. He even suggested that he, the great orator, should tit on the engine of the car and spread ashes from bushel baskets, while Bob Austin should pick 'em up from the hind end. This was to prevent skidding. The speakers thought it was a wonderful idea, but had to restrain themselves because there were no ashes. March 17—The green Freshies had a party on St. Patrick’s Day! How fitting! (especially for the girls' dresses). Joan Lukeman made a grand queen, and the freshmen made a lot of money from the gold-diggercd boys around school. March 19— Margie Goes Modern was presented by the Girls’ Glee Club. And did Veta Mae (Margie) go modern? Then the Pekin debaters came down. And we all went Pekin” on Gratia Hall and Ted Roberts. March 22—Band played seventh period. March 23—Fire drill. March 24—And another breath of fresh air by means of a fire drill. Fire prevention speaker. Home Economics Tea for teachers. Commercial Club banquet in the cafeteria. March 21—Knox College test to all Seniors. All knocked out for the rest of the day! Do we have any achievements and aptitudes. March 26—No school. Good Friday. March 30—Kiwanians present a minstrel. March 31—Jack Worth dug down into the graves of the Indians to give us Story of the Grave. Sectional Speech Contest at Winchester. April 1—Mr. May's H. R. gave an April Fool program. Who got fooled ? Harry White spoke on the wonders of science. He had worked with Edison for fourteen years. April 2—Chevrolet motor picture. Speech meet at Winchester. April 9—Another vacation. South Central meeting of teachers at Springfield. April 16—Track meet here with Havana. April 20—Senior Day! All went to New Salem and Springfield. And did it rain! April 30—May Festival! And is Jane ever a pretty queen! May 1—Central Conference Track meet here. May 2S—Love Feast for Seniors.

Frank played half-back on the Uni- versity of Illinois football team and won wide recognition as an athlete. Now Walker is guiding the Crimsons to win recognition, not only in football, but also in basketball and track. Coach Walker is a man that can teach the fundamentals and put them into practical use with enough vigor to cause his teams to be constant winners. Walker has brought the football team from one of low rank to one of high rank. His basketball teams have been very consistent winners and have become a feared team every year when the state preliminary tournaments roll around. His track teams have not shown up so well, due not to lack of training but to lack of interest. If we are to give Frank his due credit, we cannot omit his part in helping to form the Mid-Central Conference. This conference includes Beardstown, Feitshans, Converse of Springfield, Clinton, Jacksonville, and Illinois School for the Deaf. This conference is not only for athletic competition but also for literary competition as well. Coach Walker also has charge of the physical training classes. Pop” Hickle, as an assistant football coach, has proved to himself and to the school that he is of the utmost use to our team. His cares were somewhat divided this season because he had charge of the annual minstrel. Pop” is noted for his honesty, which he imports to the subs,” whom he trains each year to take the place of those leaving the varsity. In the athletic department Hollowell has made himself known mostly because of his ability as an intramural supervisor. Although Holly” has done his best to arouse interest, this division has receded in the recent years. He, however, played a great part when he organized and coached a successful Freshman-Sophomore team, which will later go a long way in making up the varsity. Kcach Johnson made himself available as assistant intramural supervisor. Eilthly-fitr Back Rom-—Coach Walker, Savage, Hickle. Vatconccllot, McMaiurt, Scott. Bourn. Kanton, Fngelman.

At first the outlook was not so promising; but talent soon became visible, and before we realized it, we had a squad of about fifteen boys who knew not only how to play their own positions but also how to help their team-mates. .In the beginning the coaches had only three lettermen back—Captain Chinowctl Rabbit” Ranson, and Harvey Scott. After much shifting about of players and long, hard practicing every night. Coach Walker and Pop” Hickle had a team that was ready to go. The Crimsons had the longest and one of- the hardest schedules they have played for many years. Two of their rivals—Beardstown and Roodhouse—went through the season un- defeated. Of the eleven games which were played, the Red and White team won six, lost four, and tied one. Jacksonville scored 102 points to their opponents’ 82 points. At the beginning of the season the school had the honor of dedicating the new football field. Because of this and a new activity plan eager crowds were in attendance. In the first bout of the season, a night game at Pittsfield, Jacksonville held the Pikers to a 0-0 tie. Rabbit” Ranson carried the ball on Jacksonville’s two first downs and also stood out in defense. Against a much stronger and much heavier Beardstown team Jacksonville failed to click both in defense and offense and lost the game, 26-0. The first home game of the year was played against Girard, with a victory over the visitors of 13-0. The Crimsons worked smoothly with an excellent aerial attack, paving the way for the two touchdowns which Ranson made on a pass and a plunge. Hickle and Summers also showed up well. The Red and White team next went to Winchester, where they were victors over a clever Winchester eleven. The scoring was done in the second quarter, when Summers on a sleeper” completed the pass for a goal and when Hcnny” Hickle plunged across for the other score. The big event of the year was Homecoming day, October 18. A large crowd saw one of the most colorful games they have yet witnessed on the High School field this year. Eixbly-iig Abell Bourn Brown Chinoweth Greenleaf Hickle Husted Marshall Nf.wbery Ranson St Hii dm a n Scott Spink Strowmatt Summers Football They saw Gross of Jerseyville return a punt 90 yards for a touchdown, while Rabbit” Ranson eclipsed all of his former performances as he reeled off gain after gain and passed with deadly accuracy. Abell and Summers also stood out both in defense and offense. The final score was 12-0 in favor of Jerseyville. The White Hall Maroons next invaded our school and left with a 7-6 victory. The entire game was a hard fought battle, with Abell and Ranson outstanding. Abell was always down on the punts and had his man tackled before he could get started. Although Jacksonville made nine first downs to the Maroons’ seven, the Crimsons were still behind. In the line Strowmatt, Bob Spink, and Captain Chinoweth were outstanding. The Jacksonville team turned in one of the biggest upsets of the prep season when it outfought and outscored the Carrollton team, 2 5-6. Rabbit Ranson paved the way for the first touchdown by a nicely placed punt, which rolled out of bounds on the eight yard line. The Hawks punted out to their own twenty yard line, from which Rabbit” plunged over for the first score. Newbtry, a guard, smashed through the Carrollton line, blocked a punt, and fell on the ball in the end zone for the season touchdown. Marshall caught several long passes, one of which he carried across the goal line. Eighty-ift em aJrzJfsJrgjRjfzJfgJrsJfcJpiJfiiJrzJfrJpUpUfzJRJraJfsJpUpiifaJfsJfs J.H.S. V«r� u� Girard Football Spink also played exceptionally well in the line. The Crimsons turned on their power again and handed Carlinville High a 12-6 defeat. With a 27 yard gain on a sleeper” pass to Summers, they were off. Ranson soon plunged over for the first touchdown. Scott, playing one of the best games of his career, made gains, carrying the Crim- sons into scoring range. Then came a most spectacular play, when Abell outjumped several Marshallmen and snagged a pass in the end zone. All of the linemen played well, with Ncwbcry and Chinoweth outstanding. Using every boy on the squad, the J. H. S. Crimsons romped to a 27-0 victory over the Virginia Redheads. The varsity was in the game only part of the first quarter. The first touchdow n was made by Scott in exactly a minute and three-quarters. Beautiful blocking by Summers brought about another one. Greenleaf place kicked for an extra point. Big Maynard King plowed through the Virginia line for a third score, and Charley Jordan of the second team fell on a fumbled ball for the last touchdown. The first set-back in four weeks came when the Roodhousc Railroaders defeated the Crimsons, 20-0. Jacksonville made only one scoring threat, but Roodhouse held solidly. Outplaying the Tigers in every way, Jacksonville won a glorious victory, 6-0. This was the last game of the season and made the Crimsons prep champions of the city. Five of the boys played their last game for the high school. Ranson, one of the greatest backs produced by the high school for many years, ended his career with a wonderful performance. Nylc Strowmatt, also a senior, was the center. Soak” was a great fighter, the personification of pep and spirit. Dick Schildman will be greatly missed next year, along with Deacon” Marshall and Ralph Bourn. The football season was closed by the annual football banquet. Coach Walker, as toastmaster, kept the group in continual laughter. At this time Captain Chinoweth was called upon to speak, and the squad elected next year’s captain. Ray Abell was chosen and was well deserving of the honor. All we ask is Ray, be as good a captain as 'Chiny’ was.” Chiny” was always urging the boys to do their best, and he, himself, set a good example. The following boys were honored as the receivers of letters: Captain Chinoweth, Captain-elect Abell, Hickle, Ranson, Husted, Scott, Greenleaf, Summers, Spink, Marshall, Newbery, Dick Schildman, George Schildman, Brown, Strowmatt, and Bourn.

On the opening game the Crimsons, playing a tight defensive game, defeated Chand- lerville’s Comets. Baldwin was the surprise of the evening, but all the boys showed up well. Staging a close battle, the Crimsons next turned back the fast New Berlin Pretzels. Leeper and Baptist both broke into the two digits column. In a most unusual evening Jacksonville dropped two decisions, one to Carrollton, the other to Pittsfield. The Crimson team, led by Abell, was defeated by a score of 27-16 at Carrollton. Baptist was again high point man at home when Pittsfield won, 56-28. The Crimsons, not being able to keep up the pace set by the White Hall team and Fair’s hot shooting, dropped a closely fought game, 21-25. The Beardstown Tigers, led by Lindley’s spectacular shooting, were able to keep possession of the little striped jug,” which has, for many years, been the goal of our battles, when they defeated the Crimsons, 24-15. Jacksonville’s fortune changed, and our five won two games, one from Converse cagcrs of Springfield, and the other from Jerseyville. Captain Charles Ketner was high point man in both games. Then the Crimsons were overcome when they met Routt’s Rockets. Routt ripped through our shifting defense to win, 22-19. After a holiday rest the Crimsons returned to the floor to defeat the Franklin Flashes in two overtime periods, 51-27. They kept up this winning streak and nosed out Mt. Sterling, 18-17, and held the Feitshans to only three field goals while marking up a 22-9 victory. Then the Jacksonville Crimsons turned a trick which no other J.H.S. team has been able to accomplish in history—namely, defeating Routt. Led by Charles Johnson, Jacksonville won by a score of 17-14. To make it five in a row the Crimsons knocked off Cathedral High of Springfield by the margin of a field goal, 20-18. Eighty‘mime Abell Baldwin Baptist Henry Ketner Lee per Lindeman Osborne Hon man Smith Johnson Wright Basketball This game was played in the Crimsons’ new white uniforms. The Red and White went on to win another game, defeating Mt. Sterling, 24-18. This victory was costly, for Ketner pulled a ligament in his ankle. The Crimsons, led by the Woodson pair, were outraced by the Soukee Indians, when they won, 45-32. Although Leeper marked up 12 points, the Crimsons lost a heart breaker to Rush- ville, 28-26. The Crimsons were soon back in their stride and defeated White Hall, 24-2}. Jacksonville, being unable to hit the hoop, were outstepped by the Fcitshans and lost, 32-22. Although playing one of their best games of the season, the Crimsons lost to Mt. Pulaski, an unbeaten team, by a score of 31-20. Mt. Pulaski started three six-footers and used them to good advantage. With the regulars spending most of their time on the bench, Jacksonville lost another game to the Winchester Wildcats, 21-17. The Red and White team next turned on the heat in the second quarter and defeated the Ashland Panthers, 44-17. Going on a scoring rampage, the Crimsons ran up a 54-19 score against Waverly. Baldwin, with 13 points, was high point man. Marking up their fourth victory in five starts against Springfield, Jacksonville de- feated Cathedral, 39-22. The Crimsons turned back their old rival, Murrayville, on the David Prince boards, 31-15. Johnson popped in eleven points to lead the scoring. The last game before the District was with Carlinville. In a fairly close game the Crimsons finished in the lead, 28-23. This was a good finish for their season, five victories in a row. Ninety dfsJfaJraJfsiRJraJnUfaifsJrzJ[gjRjRir J.H.S. Vcr u Carliavillc Basketball Each year there are numerous tournaments played, leading us to the state tournament. The first of these contests is the District Tournament. Because of the Crimsons’ high ranking they were exempt from this first group of contests. The regional tournament was next in line, held at the gymnasium at the Illinois School for the Deaf, and Jacksonville came out well in this. Their first opponent was New Berlin. Pitching in ten points in the last four minutes of play, Jacksonville High won, 34-24. Scud” Wright and Wayne Smith pulled the game out of the fire in the fourth quarter when they were sent in. The Crimsons’ next adversary was Ashland, who put up a good fight. The Red and White team won this game, 24-14, to meet Springfield High in the finals. The big, husky Capitol City lads were too big for the Crimsons, who dropped the game, 25-15. At the end of the half the Crimsons were leading by one point, but Springfield overcame this lead, went into the lead, and stayed there. The two winners of each regional continue to the sectionals; so Jacksonville met Nebo at Pittsfield. This was one of the Crimsons off-nights, and Nebo won, 26-18. This game wound up the basketball season for the high school. For the seniors—Merv Henry, Fred Lecpcr, Charles Ketncr, Dick Baldwin, and Scud” Wright—this was their last game under the Crimsons colors. In a general review of the basketball year wc discover numerous things. First, we find that, in all, the Crimsons, led by Captain Ketner, played thirty games. Of these, eighteen were won, while twelve were lost. Also we find that, while the opponents scored 713 points, the Jacksonville squad marked up 803 points, or nearly a hundred more. Again looking in the records, we find that, of these 800 points, Skinny” Baptist scored 172 points. Close on his heels was Fred Leeper with 164 points. Ninrly-ont Bji k Row—Coach Hollowcll, Vatconccllos, Fctnutun, Underbrink, Beck, L. Mj� vcv, Little, Brubaker. Fin Row—Pennell, Findley, Coulla� , Chumley, Moxon, Newport, Spink. Reserves The Crimson reserves were composed of a group of hard-playing freshmen and sophomores. The object of such a squad was to give early training to boys who have good possi- bilities of making the varsity in a year or so. This squad had a very competent coach in J. M. Hollowell, who also had charge of intramural sports. As they played the curtain-raisers” of all games, these boys gained much experience. The Jacksonville Reserves started off the season well when they defeated the Chand- lerville Seconds, who were to this time undefeated. The Reserves again pulled through when Moxon pitched in a basket in the third over-time to win over the Carrollton reserves. The next thriller was when Routt and Jacksonville met. This squad dropped the game, 10-8, before a large crowd who yelled themselves hoarse. Later on in this schedule the squad met the Feitshans. Although they lost to the Springfield team, they put up a grand fight. The Feitshans grabbed the decision after overcoming a five point lead which the Crimsons had set up. Toward the close of the season the Reserves met another Springfield team. Cathedral. The Crimson Seconds gave them a hard run for their money, but at the critical moment they lost Chumley, dropping the game, 22-19. The next to the last game of the year, with Rushville, ran into two overtime periods, but the Crimson Reserves finally won, 3 5-33. Although the reserve squad won IS and lost 11, their opponents scored practically as many points. Because of lack of funds no numerals were awarded; but if the following boys remain eligible, they are eligible to purchase numerals: Chumley, Little, Spink, Coultas. Vasconcellos, Findley, Massey, Moxon, Newport, Pennel, and Underbrink. Nimt y-two Coultas, Lacey, Me Donald Hemphill, Bla k Tennis Jacksonville High School started their tennis year successfully by whitewashing the Quincy tennis players in a dual meet on the MacMurray Courts. All of the six matches were taken in straight sets. Bob Hamm and Elmer Lukeman won both their singles and then teamed up to win their doubles match. Bill Hemphill and Jimmy Coultas also won their matches, and Bellatti and Breeding teamed up to win the other doubles. Next the Crimson nnmen went to Litchfield, where they won, 4-2. The Crimson won both doubles matches and two of the four singles matches. Coultas and Lacey were the two singles winners, while the doubles teams of Hamm-Lukcman and Breeding- Bcllatti won their matches Bill Hemphill and Red” Black lost their two matches. The district tennis tournament was held next; Jacksonville players came through as victors and were all set for the State. In the State meet at Jacksonville Crimsons came out third, with 29 points. Hamm and Lukeman as a doubles team were eliminated in the finals. The singles contestants, however, were eliminated in the first round. This spring’s schedule consists of the following meets: Litchfield, District, Lincoln, State, and Quincy. Intramural Sports The simple slogan, Athletics For All,” did not apply very well this year; but this was not because of any failings of the Jacksonville High School Intramural Department. Practically no interest was shown in intramural sports this year, and only two basket- ball tournaments were held in the winter season. Both tournaments were played in round robin” fashion. Ntmrty-tbrrr _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ zjpURJraJfZJ Litti i R, Mr. Agcir, E. Osborne C. White, M. Osborne Golf The golf team, coached by John Agger, opened up their athletic year in a dual meet with Quincy. This was the first golf played on the Nickols Park course, and Quincy won, 9.5 to 5.5, using the Nassau system of scoring. The adversaries were led by two golfers, one shooting a 3 5, another 38. Ketner led the Crimsons with 39 and 42. Other members of the high school team were Mitchell, Osborne, and Bob Hemphill. The second meet with Quincy was lost, 8 to 4. The boys representing Jacksonville High School were Littler, Bob Hemphill, A. Ketner, and Mitchell. Next on the schedule was the qualifying for the State Golf Meet. Albyn Ketner was one of 30 to qualify. Annually the Crimsons play a match with Routt to determine the city golf cham- pionship. Routt was victor by a score of 9-3. Mitchell was low man with an 80. Intramural (continued) The second tournament was a class tournament. Of the four classes the Seniors won by a very close margin. The nine boys on the squad were E. Osborne, Hemphill, Galloway, Strowmatt, Ranson, Killam. McMasters, Littler, and Schildman. This team was ably coached by Scud” Wright and Merv Henry. Last spring a class track meet was held, which was won by the Sophomores. Sintty-four JrsJrzircJpJRJi=JnURipJRJRJRJr=JpiRJniir=JnJrsJr=iniJnJr=Ji Bj F Ron—Mr. Wjlkrr. Wright, Andrew� .

Strawn. r rack With only a few veterans back, the Jacksonville track team had a rather unsuccess- ful season in 1936. The first meet of the track year was with White Hall on their field. This was a triangular meet, with Greenfield being the third contestant. White Hall was winner with 67 points. Next was Greenfield, with 28 points, while the Crimson Thin- clads registered only 22 points. Berry, the colored sprinter, won the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard dash, and Greenleaf tied in the running broad jump for the Crimson’s only firsts. In the two relays, the 880-yard relay and the Freshman relay, Jacksonville placed second. This was the principal scoring. The second meet of the year with Winchester resulted in defeat again for the Crimsons. Winchester’s total was 63 points to Jacksonville’s 5 8. Berry again won in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash, and the quarter mile run. Fishel, a newly discovered distance runner, won the half and the mile runs, the latter in the remarkable time of 4:5 5. Greenleaf placed next to him in the half mile run. Findley placed second in the high and low hurdles and in the pole vault. Husted and Rimbey placed second respectively in the shotput and the high jump. In the relay Jacksonville took first. The district was next in turn. However, the Jacksonville track team failed to place. The finish of the track season was a meet among I. S. D., the district winner; Virginia; and the Crimsons. I. S. D. won with 59(4, while Virginia trailed behind with only 34 points. Fishel again won the mile run and placed third in the pole vault, which was won by Dean Lindley. Clarence Rimbey won the high jump and secured a second place in the discus throw. Berry, racing against one of the deaf Olympic winners, placed second in the 100-yard dash and third in the 220-yard dash. Jacksonville marked up another five points when Greenleaf won the quarter mile run. Scott placed second in the low hurdles. The Red and White squad ended their scoring when they were awarded first in the relay, the I. S. D. relay team dropping the event because of a foul. The 1937 squad, with more experienced boys, has meets scheduled with Carrollton, Havana, I. S. D., Central Conference, and the District.

Girls' Athletic Association President Vice-President Secretary______ Treasurer Martha Ellen Sanders Betty Brown _______Emma Lee Walls Becky Rantz Assistant Treasurers ------------ Louise Wolre, Margaret Marshall Throughout the rapid rotation of the club’s activities during the year, the mem- bers of the Girls Athletic Association and their able director, Miss Kathryn Frentzel, enjoyed themselves with many new diversions of sports introduced this year—deck tennis, shuffle board, and social instead of tap dancing. With the new sports mixed in with the annual tournament in baseball, basketball, volleyball, and ping pong, the girls prepared for a Greek Olympic playday that they gave here this year. G. A. A. planned to attend another playday out of town and to send a representative to the Wisconsin conference camp this summer. This year during the basketball tournament the teams dropped out after having lost two games instead of one. For the first time in the history of the high school G. A. A. bagged the district tele- graphic basketball shooting contest. Basketballs, the deck tennis outfit, and darts and board made up the new G. A. A. equipment this year. Initiation of new members changed and became formal, including the candle- lighting ceremony. The annual banquet and spring picnic took their places in the social events which provided entertainment for these girls whose first interests are good, clean sports and healthy living. Several girls this year received athletic awards that are based on a point system, the highest award being the second State emblem and the lowest award being numerals. Here’s orchids to G. A. A.’s very eventful year while your sports reporter signs off! Nimety-tix Pyramid Building Girls’ Gym Class Work Two new-comcrs to the girls’ gym classes this year were Miss Lotta-Waite” and Miss Lena-Waite,” but the poor things were so unpopular that no one liked them or wanted to be like them. Fat Lotta” and Lean Lena” were two opposite types on the health charts that added a new importance to the gym class work. The girls who took gym this year became very posture-and-figure-minded; so none of them envied either Lotta” or Lena.” On the charts given to the girls, health habits that followed the health rules were recorded. New equipment in the gym made possible the playing of deck tennis, croquet, and ping pong. Horseshoes as well as baseballs were pitched with great earnestness, and the small volleyball and the huge cage ball were tossed and heaved back and forth across the net. Just before Prom time social dancing was introduced in the classes, and the girls prepared themselves for the event of the year. In spite of the few bumps that were acquired, but soon forgotten, during the tum- bling exercises, the girls soon became experts; and then those breath-taking pyramids were built. While the girls are thanking Miss Kathryn Frentzel, the girls’ gym director, for making gym period one of the most enjoyable of the day, your sports reporter once again signs off! imrly-tfi cm 1.

Following the usual procedure. Miss George and Miss Pierson chose shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping teams to be entered in the sub-district contest at Beardstown on April 24. The teams spent a hard three weeks, bringing themselves up to par. The advanced typing team consisted of: Gladys Shumaker, Robert Wood, Helen Combs, and Virginia Decker. The members of the beginning typing team were: Marjorie Pattillo, Marybelle Roberts, Betty Trabue, and Ella Marie Newberry. The advanced shorthand team was entered in the ninety, one hundred, and one hundred twenty words a minute divisions. That included: Louise Lindemann, Ruth Clement, Mary Barber, and Bernice Vasey. The beginning shorthand team consisted of Mary Simonds, Fern VanGiescn, Vivian Lankford, and Frederick Nunes was entered in the seventy words a minute dictation. In addition to the typing and shorthand divisions, there was also the bookkeeping team: Gladys Shumaker, Fern VanGiescn, Imogene Long, and Sophia Lovekamp. Each member of the typing team took his own typewriter in order that he might do his best work on a familiar machine. The shorthand contestants took their own note- books and pens. The students and teachers went over to Beardstown early in the morning. All events were held before noon. In the afternoon the contest copies were graded and ranked, and then a program was held. Everyone enjoyed the experience and returned home better qualified for secretarial positions. As the teams were chosen so late in the season, this went to press too late to be ’classified. £ i 1 Hundred S.nettcn i73Rananaria(tarfP[3f5f3i3I3f3ia33J3 3J3l3IEJ3IEJe EJaja HISf5J5fHJSf5JSJSf5fSJ5iSJEJSJ5fSJSJ5J5J3 iX fjx r 3' 0 um. j % 9 Cft tc cJ - 4- L Lc kXX yr y .
