Taylor The Board of Control, created by the Board of Education, is an executive group that has general supervision over the various extra- curricular activities involving the expenditures of money by student groups in the high school. The decisions of this board are final unless they are set aside by the Board of Education. The Board of Control actually consists of five members which are made up of the high school principal, the director of physical education, a high school alumnus not on the faculty, one member of the Finance Committee of the Board of Education, and the superintendent of 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 president at the present is Basil Sorrells, while John T. Taylor is the elected secretary-treasurer. The Board of Control holds its meetings on the first Monday of every school month in the office of the Board of Education. These meet- ings are not restricted to only the members of the board, but are open to anyone who wishes to appear before the Board of Control at any regular meeting in the interest of any of the student activities. Mr. Agger is not actually a member of this board but he is con- sidered an unofficial representative. He is thus considered because he is director of the Student Activity Ticket Plan which involves the receiving and disbursing of sizable amounts. By creating the Board of Control, the Board of Education had in mind the keeping of all high school incomes and expenditures under control by a mature group judgment. a3Xa03XO3IX3XCCCEC LJt Ml Mr. Mutch % Dr. R. O. Stoops Dr. Stoops, as superintendent of city schools, has always shown an extremely profound interest in the high school and its Senior Class. His ability to understand youth is the main reason for the great success of the public schools of Jacksonville. Mr. J. C. Mutch As our principal, Mr. Mutch has been exceedingly helpful and has given constant encouragement to us Seniors. His guiding hand has Piloted us through many a weary storm. No wonder our high school is rated so high as it is. For all his careful and accurate guidance, we thank him. Mr. John Agger Mr. Agger, who is assistant principal of the high school, has also been very helpful to the Senior Class. In addition to being assistant principal, Mr. Agger is director of the Student Activity Ticket Plan and has charge of all assemblies. He also is a very capable member of the faculty.

S ic trr MOST POPULAR SENIORS Veta Mae Walker Her wide range of friends and her always charming smile have made her popularity outstanding in Jacksonville High School. Ray Abell Ray has been very popular in and around Jacksonville High School, for he is an all around good fellow and has proven himself to be a leader, especially on the football field. Clara Mae Strubinger Clara Mae’s membership in so many clubs and organizations has made —■ her very popular. Her pleasing smiles along with her dynamic person- ality also contribute towards her popularity. . Harvey Scott yj Harvey, with his calm disposition and many friends, is also one of our popular seniors. Much of his popularity is a result of his fighting jk and winning spirit on the football field. His good sportsmanship was Iso a great aid to Harvey’s popularity. - PrYYYVYVYYYYYTTYYV Y Vt reYXYOtSrSAXAyrV ClI ARIFS StVII R Helen Mutch Austin Dumas Naomi Runyon I he Senior Class The Senior Class chose their officers at the close of last year. The results of this election were as follows: the President was Charles Sevier; Vice- President, Helen Mutch; Secretary, Austin Dumas; and Treasurer, Naomi Runyon. The group of officers has guided the Senior Class most success- fully through their last year in Jacksonville High School. During their Junior year one of the main achievements in dramatics was a play called, While the Toast Burns.” The following people were the characters: Clara Mae Strubinger was the wife; John Ncwbery, the husband; Charles Sevier, the son; his sister, Helen Johnson; and the grandmother, Ruth Ann Wurtsbaugh. Another outstanding feature was the prom and banquet in their Junior year. The Banquet and the Prom Chairmen were Janice Hicks and Harvey Scott. In the beginning of the Senior year each home room elected two students for the Senior Council. This council met with its advisor. Miss Evans, once a month to discuss problems. The most important project of the Senior year was the annual Crimson J.” It was edited by the J” Staff. The Editor-in-Chief of the J” was Carl Brune. The business manager was Ed- ward Roy. The Senior Class contributed the captain of the All-famous football team of 1937-1938, Ray Abell. Ray should be congratulated for the way that he lead the team through a season of success. A class meeting for the Seniors was held in the auditorium during the home room period on Thursdays. It was later changed to Friday. The Seniors had many varied programs. Several of them were talks on the following subjects: en- gineering, teaching, business training, and law. The Senior play was the second important event during the Senior year. It was entitled, Monsieur Beaucaire.” The leading roles were played by Helen Johnson and Charles Sevier. The director of this play was Mr. Vickery who did an excellent job of it. Miss Evans, the dean of the Seniors, has as- sisted the students of the class during the last four years in high school. Each member of the Senior Class wishes to express his appreciation for all of the nice things that she has done to help him. The class wishes to thank all of the members of the faculty who have helped it in High School. The Seniors will not forget their Jack- sonville High School, and we hope it will remember the 1938 Senior Class. J. H. S. wishes the Seniors good luck!

Lloyd was very active in and about Jacksonville High School. He was a Senior and teas expected to graduate with the graduating Class of M 8. His lofty ideals of character and conduct manifested themselves in many ways in his home, school, church, and com- munity. Thirty-six Ray Brubaker Emu y R. Nichols rhe Junior Class Gratia Hai l The Juniors opened the season with their election of officers. Ray Brubaker was chosen President of the Junior Class. Other officers arc the following: Vice-President, Emily Rose Nichols; Secretary, Art Moxon; and Treasurer, Gratia Hail. This group has most successfully guided the Juniors during their third year in high school. One of the great attainments of the year was the Junior play, which was entitled, The Cata- logue.” The students taking part were the follow- ing: Eugenia Barber, Mary Jo Brown, Bob Card, James French, and Arthur Ball. The Student Council governed the Juniors in all their affairs. This Junior Council was com- posed of one student from each Junior Home Room. These students met regularly to discuss the problems of the class. Every Wednesday was Junior Class day. On this day all of the home rooms assembled for a program in the auditorium. Each home room was in charge of four programs during the year. A drawing was held between the eight home rooms for the dates of these programs. The programs given were varied. Some of them were musical selections, readings, games, contests, varied edu- cational talks, and many stunts. The Junior Class has contributed a large num- ber of students to the school’s activities through- out this year. Debate is the main one. In this organization these names stand out as being im- portant members of this club: John Clark, John Self, Gratia Hall, and Ella Jane Rogers. These students as well as others have brought honors to the class and school. The Junior boys shone in athletics, too. The teams have several Juniors who have played and have done a very good job. During the first two years the class had Mr. Gibson as their dean. At the beginning of this year he resigned so that he could take a position at MacMurray College. The dean who took his place was Miss Groves. She has had a hard job to fill, but has done very well. Miss Groves has helped the students of the class a great deal. She has also made this year one of the most successful. The Juniors presented the annual prom as usual and the banquet, too. Art Moxon was the chairman of the prom and Gratia Hall assisted Art for she was the co-chairman. Frances Capps was chosen as chairman of the banquet. These events were at Mac- Murray College in the dining hall. The evening was success- ful and enjoyed by all. The Junior Class has had a successful year. So far the Jun- iors have done good work in high school. Good luck next year! Tbhly-tryrm Chilians, Chumley, Cincis, Clark, Cleary. Couitas. Cox, Crum, Curtis, Daniels. Davies, B. Day, D.

These arc the students chosen for the officers: l or president, F.arl Underbrink; vice-president, Bill Randall; treas- urer, Bob Pine; and as for secretary, Joan Gil- christ. These officers have done an excellent job of leading the class. This Sophomore class has shown very good talent in the school’s activities. Several of the students show good promises of success in debate and speech work. However, they are not different from previous Sophomore classes other than to have some extra good talents in the group of students. In the near future the class hopes to do some notable work. They are well represented in many organizations of the high school. This is necessary to say, while writing the history of Sophomores, that this year the Sopho- mores have made noteworthy contributions to the athletic activities in our school. The most distin- guished of these is Jack Andrews, a center on our football team. He has gained, also, recognition of being the center of this year’s All-Conference team. Other boys of the Sophomore class arc shining in the limelight of basketball. These arc the names that stand out: Littic, Sorrels, Weaver, Underbrink, and Vasconcellos. This group is well known to all the students in High School as the group that has, as you might literally say, played” its way into the varsity squad. Those boys on the team have done their very best to try to help the basketball team win the games. The day when all the Sophomores assemble in the auditorium was Tuesday. Each week they had a program given by one of the home rooms. Each week a different home room was in charge of the program, thus each one had a turn. They had several plays given by the students. Some interesting talks were also given. Beginning the second semester the class day was changed to Wednesday and on Tuesday the entire school met in the auditorium during the regular home room period for a movie. The Sophomores had an April Fool party on April the first. It was a Kid party. These students were on the General Committee: Joan Gilchrist, Bill Randall, Bob Pine, with Junior Underbrink as the chairman. The chairman of refreshments was Joan Gilchrist. The entertainment chairman of the kid party was Junior Underbrink. Joan l.ukeman was the chairman of their dance committee. The program was in keeping with April. The party was held in the E'ast Study Hall. The dean of the class of 1940 is Mr. Vickery, who also coaches Speech. forty-oar Sophomores UPPER GROUP Row One—Butler, Anderson, Caldwell, Allan, Baker, Barnes, Ator.

This class was larger than usual. These Freshmen elected their officers in the beginning of this year. The officers were as follows: President, Leo Heneghan; vice-president. Harris Rowe; secretary, Sarah Lee Butler; and the treas- urer, Mary Bagale. These Freshmen were better known to upper classmen as the green freshies” of J.H.S. When the Freshman class came into high school, they were unaccustomed to our system, rules, and reg- ulations. Many students in this group became confused. The result was that many were lost and late to class during the first few weeks of school. But after a while they learned the ways as well as the other Freshmen have done. The Freshmen were soon very happy in the friendly atmosphere of the Jacksonville High School. All the activities of the Freshmen have been controlled by the Freshman council which was composed of two students from each one of the home rooms. The chairman of this Freshman council was Carol Coultas. The council met to discuss the class problems. The Freshmen year would not be complete for the members of the class without a party. The party was on February the eleventh. This was held in Fast Study Hall. The first part of the evening was spent in playing Bunco and numerous other games and contests. The latter part of the evening dancing was enjoyed. The Freshmen used the new machine which furnished the music for their dancing. The party lasted from seven-thirty to ten. The chaperones were Mr. Deem, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, Mr. Hitchcock, and Mr. and Mrs. John Agger. Every week on Monday the Freshman class assembled in the auditorium. The Freshmen had the great pleasure of using the movie machine be- fore the upper classmen did. Many of their pro- grams have been vocational study with some en- tertaining programs. M iss Pcrbix is the dean of the class of 1941. She has done an excellent job helping these Fresh- men. She has taught them many things about the school which were necessary for them to know about—such as the different clubs in the school, the rules, conduct, etc. Many of the Freshmen took part in the annual min- strel. Paul Ketnsr and Jane Frank gave a special dance num- ber. Paul Ketncr is known by all of the students as one of the cheer leaders who really yells. forty-five ToccccnjaDQooaoaxxxxx Freshmen UPPER GROUP Row One—Anders, Bourn, Buscy, Black, Barber, Bishop, Bagale, Barnes, Bentena, Baptist, Atkinson, Basham, Cobb.

Mid-Semester Freshmen The Freshman class entering at mid-semester was composed of forty-four pupils. They entered the high school with an outstanding record behind them, both in sports and in scholarship. Coming into high school at mid-year, it was hard for the Freshies” to get accustomed to this new routine, but under the capable leadership of Miss Holland for the first two weeks they soon settled down to regular high school life. Then they were mixed in with the regular second semester Freshmen home rooms. Two of this group, Wayne Herrin and Mildred Murgatroyd, were honored with the American Legion and Auxiliary awards. These awards are presented to the most outstanding boy and girl in each graduating class on the basis of scholarship, service, good citizenship, and character. The success of their pageant during graduation exercises is also well worth mentioning. Due to the cooperation of the members, this class put it over splendidly. The pageant was called America Leads the Way.” A few of the characters wrere: Spirit of Progress, Spirit of Ideals, Liberty, Truth. Spirit of Love, and many different nations. Of this class, Miss Burbndge, Principal of David Prince, said, They have been a wonderfully cooperative group throughout their two years in Junior High. They cooperated splendidly to put on their pageant during their commencement. They were also leaders in sporting activities and outstanding in scholarship.” This is a very good recommendation for this group and we fully expect them to live up to this record during their four years at Jacksonville High School. forty -fi bt Third Ruu— Mr Hitchcock, FindUy, Young.

They provided good entertainment before and between halves of the games. The Band has also helped with some assemblies and other performances. Most of the year, however, was spent in preparation for the district band contest held at Quincy on March 26. In this contest, Jacksonville High placed first in the Second Division of Bands, and in division AA was barely nosed out of first place by Lanphier High of Springfield. The day before the band went to Quincy, it gave an assembly con- cert here in the auditorium. Besides some very entertaining numbers by the band, there were several specialty numbers. These included: A saxo- phone solo by Bart Johnson, a trombone solo by Paul Findley, and several selections by a trumpet trio composed of Charles Wiegman, Edwin Al- quist, and Edward Daniels. In connection with the band, the orchestra should also be given recognition. It played at the Senior Class Play and the Operetta and did an excellent job both places. Mr. Hitchcock, the director, plays a violin himself and has developed a very good violin section. Thursday night, April 7th, the Springfield High School Band gave a concert in our auditorium. Their program was enjoyed by everyone who heard it. This concert was sponsored by the J. H. S. Band, the money to go for needed school instruments. Mr. Hitchcock has also provided a secure base for future J. H. S. bands by developing a junior band of about 5 3 members. fourth Row—Lowery, ujntcM. ivo«c, v� ocoic, vornes, v atawcti. «cyrr, wvDorne, Winter� , Weaver, Nun?� .

Undcrhrir Bovs' Glee Club Boys’ Glee Club is another club that is one of the most popular organizations in school. It is one of the oldest clubs, too. Miss Lena Mae Hopper is the director of the Boys’ Glee Club. This year the club has carried on an extensive musical program. They took a part in the operetta, The Count and the Co-Ed.” Warren Smith and Arthur Moxon had the leading roles in it. Boys’ Glee Club and the Treble Clef gave a Christmas Vesper. This has not been done for quite a while. During this year the club has given a number of performances to various Jacksonville groups and presented programs for the school. The boys have, also, taken part in the spring concert. The boys sent to the annual state chorus at Champaign were John Clark, Warren Smith, and Arthur Moxon. The officers of Boys’ Glee Club, who were elected the previous year, are the following boys: President, Warren Smith; vice-president, John Self; secretary, Arthur Moxon; treasurer, Ray Brubaker; and James Coultas, assistant secretary. In the previous years they met after school and at noons. Their meetings were changed to one of the regular school periods. Tuesday and Thursday the Boys’ Glee Club met the third period. Their meeting place was in the auditorium. The activities of this club during the past year have made one of their best seasons. Many of the boys took advantage of the chance to develop their musical talent. Fifty'tiro Third Rw- Hurnt n, Card, French, Norv«l. Mrxroac, Siben, Himmuiul. S,cunJ Run —Barnes.

The officers of the Camera Club are: Dallas Hagan, president; Claire Underwood, vice-president; Bill Wade, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. John Agger is the club advisor. The Camera Club is a new club in high school this year. It was organized for the purpose of teaching the members how to handle a camera and to take better pictures. A club of this kind is an excellent idea, especially at the present time when every other person is going around with a camera in his hand. The club meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month. The program is something sponsored by one of the members and is some- thing pertaining to the club or to photography. The proper way of tak- ing pictures indoors and out-of-doors was demonstrated to the club. The club also took up the methods of enlarging and the proper fashion of developing pictures. At intervals, contests were held to see what progress had been made in the way of taking pictures and also to see who could bring in the best picture. These pictures were then commented upon or criticized by members of the club. In this way different members could see what was wrong with their pictures, so that they would be able to correct their methods of taking pictures. The club was very capably directed by Mr. Agger who has a thor- ough knowledge of the camera and photography. The members of this club should have learned something about this subject from him—in fact, who knows but what some of our future movie producers may be a product of the Camera Club of Jacksonville High School! fifty-lbrrt Third Rou - -C.iodruA.

Commercial Club The Commercial Club is sponsored by the commercial department of our school under the supervision of Miss George. The only member- ship requirement is that the student be taking one commercial subject. The officers for the past year were as follows: President, Betty Jane Ranson; vice-president, Vivian Lankford; secretary, Jane Carter; treas- urer, Fern VanGicsen. The club meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. Many benefits are derived from this club. The aim of the club is to aid its members in making a success of a business career. At each meeting much information is gained from talks given by the prominent business men of the city. At other times, the club would often visit places of interest about town. The club’s outstanding social events of the year were a Hallowe’en party held at the home of F.mmiline Jewsbury and a farewell banquet held in the high school cafeteria. Other social events included a weiner roast and a picnic at Nichols Park. One of the best assemblies of the year svas a one-act comedy entitled Minerva Sets the Stage, presented by the Commercial Club. The play was directed by Miss Holland and characters were as follows: Lorna Tholen, Vivian Lankford, Mary Jane Hearn, Lavon Myer, Helen Tobin, Betty Jean Wright, and Jane Carter. The new style of laughing pre- sented by Lorna Tholen created quite a sensation. This club has been very beneficial to its members and entertaining as well.

Us I hc Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club is one of the most outstanding activities of our school. The officers during the past year were: President, John Clark; vice-president. Art Moxon; secretary, Clara Mae Strubinger; treasurer, Bob Austin. The enrollment was so large that it was necessary to divide the club into two groups—the Freshmen and Juniors, and the Sophomores and Seniors. Miss Brown is the advisor of this club. This year the Dramatic Club contained many talented members. One of the most successful achievements of these students was a one-act comedy entitled The Bumblepuppy.” The characters were: John Clark, John Self, and James Lacey. The play was one of the most entertaining assemblies furnished by the activity plan. Perhaps the greatest achievement of the Dramatic Club was the contest play entitled Two Crooks and a Lady.” This play was very successfully portrayed by Veta Mae Walker, Charles Sevier, Katherine Mae Hitte, Helen Ingram. Bob Austin, Betty Ragan, and John Ncwbery. As in other years, the Dramatic Club has proved its ability by winning many honors in the various contests. The most outstanding social event was the Dramatic Club Hop given December 17, 1937 in the David Prince Gymnasium. The gay crowd danced to the music of Goes Orchestra. The success of the Hop was largely due to the efforts of Frances Capps as dance chairman. M1AL Third Ron --Thompson. Mulligan, Smith. Spencer. Cook. Second Roti’—Jordan. Wood� .

Engineers’ Club The Mechanical Engineers’ Club of Jacksonville High School was composed of twenty boys who were enrolled in the architectural class and mechanical class. The club’s purpose was to further each member’s knowledge of all the new engineering facts and all of the new accomplish- ments. The club met twice a month. These bi-monthly meetings were given over to many interesting talks and discussions on articles concern- ing the latest developments in the construction of homes and other buildings. Each one of the members had a chance to participate in at least two of the programs during the year’s time. This club was also entertained by very interesting talks given by several adults in this city on many different phases of engineering. Many of these speakers brought information to the club and much was gained from these talks by all of the members of the club. Much enjoyment, as well as good training, was afforded to the members of this club. The club had picnics in the fall and spring of the year, and chili dinners during the winter. The year’s accomplishments were due largely to the innumerable efforts of Mr. John May, and the leadership of the president, Wilbur Black. The other officers of the Mechanical Engineers’ Club are the following: Vice-president, Charles Thompson; secretary and treasurer, Dick Rowe. Lowell White was elected the program chairman. He served a successful year and provided many good programs. Mr. May was the advisor of this club. Tifty-iix 7hirJ Kfcir—-Dobynt, Roy, StVKf, Rood house, Lowery, Newbcry, ( jpp«, Vink . Bt«ck.

Forum One of the oldest organizations in Jacksonville High School is Forum. This club has kept its members actively interested throughout the year by having debates of paramount interest. Nationally-known topics, which included such subjects as the minimum wage and hour bill, the State question of unicameral legislature, and the unarmed neutrality, were debated and discussed. The programs were capably planned by Frances Capps who is the program chairman. This year, for the first time, the entire club has used the mimeo- graphed sheets on which the programs were arranged for a semester in advance. This plan proved to be very successful as well as helpful. A large number of new members are taken into the club each year at the picnics which are held in the fall and spring. Officers of the club this year were: President, Betty Lu Oxley; vice- president, John Clark; secretary, John Self; and the treasurer, Gratia Hall. Miss Emma Mae Leonhard, who is the advisor of Forum has care- fully guided the club through a successful year. Due to the fact that varsity debaters are in Forum, this proves that the organization gives experience to the members in debate and extem- poraneous speaking. The Forum Club has for many years paid the dues for the National Forensic Charter. This club paid the dues for the Debate Club. Forum has done quite a favor for the Debate Club and they appreciate all that has been done for them. Fifty 9§§ 'JXZXZZZZXXXXX2DOCCC Fomrtb Rom-—Arm trun . Svu i, Elliot. bo ton. Dkkmin. Beck.

Its purpose is to create a new interest in agriculture, and to produce a better, and more educated type of farmer. There are many different divisions or ranks in the club. The first rank is the Greenhand” which requires only the initiation into the club. The next one is the Future Farmer” and this requires one year of a good project work. The State Farmer,” one of the highest rank, requires at least two years of exceptionally good work, a high scholastic standing, etc. The only State Farmer in the club this year was John Newbery. Their motto is: Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, and learning to serve.” The officers elected were as follows: President, Marvin Martin; vice- president, Bobby Summers; secretary, John Newbery; program chair- man, Billy Cox; reporter, Frederic Sayer; and the treasurer, Byron Strawn. Future Farmer Club meets every Monday evening. The club has different activities such as basketball, baseball, grain judging, livestock judging, corn show, livestock show. A fishing trip is enjoyed by the club every year, and the club meets once every summer during the vacation. Mr. Loomis is the advisor of this organization. He proved helpful to the boys with their projects in the club. The Future Farmer Club that played basketball won first in the district and became the champions.

They were: President, Veta Mae Walker; vice-presi- dent, Helen Johnson; secretary, Helen Tobin; treasurer, Helen Cox; assistant treasurer. Viva Montgomery; and assistant secretary, Clara T urner. At the beginning of this year the Girls’ Glee Club had a picnic. This was held at the Nichols Park. Each one of the new members was ini- tiated at the picnic. The club met after school each Tuesday. At these meetings the girls sang many different songs. Girls’ Glee Club has proven to its mem- bers to be a worthwhile organization. The club has helped the girls in- terested in music and those who had the ability to sing. The club has, also, broadened their musical vision and helped them to have appreciation for classical music. The Girls’ Glee Club has assisted the other musical organizations of the school with varied programs. The girls of the club ushered for the operetta, the Count and the Co-Ed,” and the May Festival. New officers for next year have been elected by the Girls’ Glee Club as follows: President, Edith Reed; vice-president, Marjorie Smith; sec- retary, Louise Wood; assistant secretary, Lis McGuire; treasurer, Carline Crum: and assistant treasurer, Eleanor Pevey.

These ideals are the foundations of the most popular and the largest club in the school. Because of the increased membership, the club has been divided into three chapters. They are as follows: The first chapter was made up entirely of Freshmen; the second of Sophomores; and the third chapter of the Juniors and Seniors. Hi-Y meets every week in the high school cafeteria. After the supper, which the club always enjoys, they have talks given by local business and professional men. The club was interested in and profited by all these varied talks during the school year. In the fall of the year, a large number of the club members went through the Parks’ Air Field which is near St. Louis. Among the other activities, the club visited the Springfield Hi-Y club and it held an intra- cluh basketball tournament. Several delegates were sent to the State Older Boys’ Conference in Elgin, Illinois. Another feature of the club was a club newspaper. It was called Hi-Y Record.” This paper was mimeographed regularly and distributed through the home rooms. Through thU medium, the club was able to explain its purposes and activities to a large number of the boys. The officers of the club are as follows: President, Paul Findley; vice-president, Leonard Staff; secretary, Arthur Moxon; treasurer, Russell Ward; ser- geant-at-arms, Everett Summers. The faculty advisor of the club is Mr. William E. Vickery. The club has also the Y.M.C.A. Secretary, who is Mr. A. D. Hermann. ouV S « a3xxxcaaxaxmcm33333: 5fcomti Rom—Hagan, SindbefK, Vocbc .

Its members arc particularly interested in field investigations. All-day trips are scheduled for Saturdays. The club has visited most of the interesting woods and nature centers in Morgan County. Cedar Cave, Pioneer Park, and similar locations in Pike County have proved popular. The club has been interested in geologic work, also. The group has averaged two trips a year with the State Geological Survey Group. On such trips, types of soil, rock formations, coal mines, quarries, waterways, brick kilns and fossd locations, caves and Indian mounds and erosions have been studied. The Club is self-supporting; the expenses involved on various expedi- tions being divided among the various members of the organization. The Science Club is sponsored by Miss Helen Kamm. She has taken an active part in the club and has been a very helpful advisor to the young scientists. Although this club was only founded in 193 5, it is rapidly becoming an outstanding activity in our school. The aim of the Science Club is to widen the field of knowledge along scientific lines and to further interest in the field of science having to do with life—plant and animal. The members of the Science Club have derived much pleasure and helpful information from the club’s activities of the past year. The Jack- sonville High School is proud to have such an organization in its midst and extends best wishes to the club for a successful future.

Speech Club Three years ago in Jacksonville High School there was only the debate squad which entered into all of the speech contests to represent the school. Today the school has a team of individual speakers as well. All of the students, who were interested in speech work, learned a reading which they presented to their coach, Mr. Vickery, any time during the year. The best readings were then chosen and coached for the many different contests. During the fall and winter a practice tournament is formed. The students enter into this tournament for the preparation and practice for the state contests in the spring. Those speakers who arc chosen to enter the N. F. L. state tournament and that of the Illinois Speech League arc considered members of the school speech team. This year there were several students who have this honor. All of the divisions of individual speech were usually entered. The divisions are the following: Dramatic readings, humorous readings, orig- inal oratory, oratorical declamation, verse reading, and of course the ex- temporaneous speaking. Much credit is due to the coach, Mr. Vickery, who has given much of his time and effort to the organization. He has also helped these individual speakers progress. This club is one of the more recent clubs started in high school and has progressed very rapidly. S:xty-ti o Fifth ft© -—B. Drnnv, P. (.ajipt, Fc� or. Ntlm� . Phillip� , Lowery, Park .

Throughout the year the club has given the members much valuable training in vocal work, and many pleasant experiences. Last year the officers were chosen for the following year. They were: President, Clara Mae Strubinger; vice-president, Betty Lu Oxley; secre- tary, Veta Mae W'alker; assistant secretary, Emma Lee W'alls; the treas- urer, Naomi Runyon; and assistant treasurer, Helen Mutch. These officers have helped the club by directing it well. Among the activities of the club was the annual operetta. Clara Mae Strubinger and Frances Capps had the leading roles. The annual May Festival was given April 28. Besides these, the Christmas Vesper was given for the assembly. The Treble Clef had the honor of sending five representatives to the State Chorus in Champaign. Those who had the privilege of going were: Betty Lu Oxley, Veta Mae W'alker. Mildred Rutherford, Emma Lee W'alls, Naomi Runyon, and Clara Mac Strubinger. These members told the club their experiences at Champaign and created the desire in every girl to be in this group when she was a Senior.

Tri-Y As an institution which strongly emphasises the ideals upon which it was founded—clean living, clean speech, and clean sport—Tri-Y is unsurpassed. Under the able guidance of Miss Sheppard, the girls in this club have profited greatly during the past year. The officers during the year were: President, Betty Lu Oxley; secretary. Gratia Hall; vice-president, Mary Jo Brown; program chairman, Ella Jane Rogers; bouncer, Carol Winks; treasurer, Suzanne Dobyns. Its regular meetings were held on the first and third Tuesdays in each month. The programs of the past year have been of unusual interest and variety. The theme of the programs for the second semester was Great Women of All Lands.” During the course of the year the club was entertained by many excellent speakers and met in combined meetings with Hi-Y. Also the members of Tri-Y had the pleasure of visiting many interesting spots about town. The entire school was invited to accompany the Tri-Y on these trips. Some other club events of the year were the Tri-Y Date Night, the Annual Alumni Banquet, and a Mothers’ Day Banquet. Tri-Y is one of the most outstanding clubs in the school. Any girl may join the club and will profit by her membership. It is an organiza- tion to which every girl should belong. The ideals of this club have truly been lived up to during the past year and the former reputation of Tri-Y has been upheld with flying colors.

Herald Ever since the revival of the Herald in 1936, the paper has been continued under very capable staffs, and the careful guidance of Miss Margaret Moore. Dorothy Fancher was the first editor-in-chief. After her came Kathryn Mac Hittc and then this year Miriam Lowery was in charge. The Herald Staff included the following students this year: The editor-in-chief, Miriam Lowery; associate editors, Kathryn Mae Hittc, William Lowery, Bob Gard; sport editors, Martha Ellen Sanders, Bayard Oxtoby; exchange editor, Helen Tobin; business manager, Henry J. Meyer; humor editor, Doris Alexander; art editor, Joyce Schildman; editorial writer, Helen Johnson; feature writer, Mildred Rutherford; and a large number of reporters. The Herald staff has several students of journalism and other stu- dents who are interested in such w-ork. These students together with advanced typing class put out a six-page mimeographed paper each week on Friday. Each student in high school receives a paper each week. This was made possible by the activity plan. The best-liked portion of this paper was the humor column. Next to this was Archibald Hicks, the school-famous sketch. This feature was one of the greatest mysteries of the school because no one knew who was the writer of the Archibald column. Under guidance of Miss Moore, the journalistic advisor, and Miss George, production advisor, the paper was made possible. The Minstrel The annual J. H. S. Minstrel was presented this year on the nights of November 18-19. It was put over very successfully with Pop” Hickle acting as interlocutor and director. The four end men were: John Clark, John Self, Bob Austin, and Art Moxon. John Clark and Art Moxon had had experience as end men also the year before. The end men, with their jokes and songs, did their parts very well and their cooperation with other members of the cast did a great deal towards putting the minstrel over. The chorus also did their part very well and deserve a very great deal of credit for their fine work in the show. There were quite a few excellent specialty numbers. These were 3s follows: Tap dances by Mary Louise Gilbert, Richard Allen, and Pamela and Cynthia Woods; a dance duet by Opaline Bishop and Mary Bagale; a novelty dance by Janie Frank and Paul Ketner; a roller skate dance by Ruth Jean Siegfried; songs by Genevieve Self, Ben Roodhouse, the Mans- field Trio, Melba Abernathy, James Lacey, Francis Fisher; and a trom- bone solo by Paul Findley. These numbers were all cordially received by the audience and almost all of them were encored. Besides the regular chorus there was a dancing chorus in costume. This was composed of twelve girls. Accompaniment on the piano was furnished by Mary Frances Allen. All of the end men except Austin were Juniors and will probably be back in the cast next year. Whether they are or not, if next year’s minstrel is as good as this year’s, it will be a complete success. Si Ruodhuutt, Sei� , Clark, Findley. Stcphenion, Low ry, Hall, Mr. Johnnin. Rosei� . Debate I earn This year the debaters have been discussing this important item. Resolved that the several states should adopt a unicameral system of legislation.” The affirmative team is made up of Ella Jane Rogers and Gratia Hall while the negative is composed of John Self and John Clark. Ben Roodhouse and Bud Stephenson compose the second affirmative team, while the second negative is made up of two boys, William Lowery and Paul Findley. The debate season began with a non-decision debate at Pekin, Jan- uary 15th. On January 23rd the four teams went to the Invitational Tournament at Lincoln. All four teams survived the two qualifying rounds, but were eliminated in the third round. Gratia Hall was judged to be the second best debater participating in the tournament. During February non-decision debates were held with the Illinois College Freshmen and Lincoln. In decision debates with Western Acad- emy the two schools broke even, each school winning one and losing one. On March 4th and 5th the affirmative and the negative teams took a trip which included Decatur, Champaign, and Urbana. Both teams won from Decatur. The other debates were non-decision. On the fol- lowing week-end, March 11th and 12th, Jacksonville entered in the N. F. L. at Charleston. This tournament was for those schools in the southern half of Illinois that belonged to the N. F. L. Jacksonville was one of the four schools to qualify, but was eliminated in the fifth round. Mr. Johnson is the coach. The team will go many more places. Stvmiy according to their ability in the practice tournaments in the first semester. These members of the speech team and the divisions in which they participated were the following: Dramatic reading. Bob Austin, Betty Rac Ragan and Kathryn Mae Hitte; humorous reading, Delfa Pine, Helen Johnson, and Frances Capps; oratorical declamation, Edward Roy and Jack Roy; extemporaneous speaking, John Clark and Gratia Hall; and verse reading, Helen Johnson. Many of the members of this speech team competed in the National Forensic League district and the Illinois League. A number of high honors was won by the students. During the second semester of this school year the team members formed a new chapter of the National Forensic League. The officers were chosen by the speech team; the president was John Clark and the secre- tary was Gratia Hall. There were a number on the team who were Seniors. They have helped to boost the team to a higher standard. It is to be noted that Mr. Vickery was the one who trained the speech team as well as the Speech Club. Juhn Clark, a Junior, won second place in the N. F. L. meet in ex- temporaneous speaking. The speech team is one of the higher achievements of the Speech Club. TijxxxxzzzxxxxxxxxxzxxxxxxaoDooaixaoooaa Monsieur Beaucaire,” that dashing Frenchman, played two nights on the boards of the auditorium in the Senior class play, and a large group attended both nights. Many Seniors tried out for the play, and out of a fine display of talent the final cast was chosen. This cast was chosen by three: Miss Ruyle, Miss Evans, and Mr. Vickery. No one could forget the thrilling scenes in the production of the duel, the free-for-all battle, the love scene of Monsieur Beaucaire and Lady Mary Carlvsle, the comedy of the noble Englishmen, and the sus- pense pervading the entire story. Charles Sevier very capably played the part of the dashing young Frenchman and Helen Johnson was very real as Lady Mary, the Belle of Bath. The two leading characters were well supported by John Newbery, Warren Smith, Veta Mae Walker, Bill Wade, Naomi Runyon, Kathryn Mae Hitte, Harvey Scott, Bob Austin, Earl Floreth, Ralph Thomson, Charles Cisnc, Richard Husted, John Wright, Edward Roy, Wilbur Black, Carlinc May, Gwendolyn Lee. Wayne Ommen, Mary Virginia Dickmann, Merle Sibert, Ruth Ann Wurtsbaugh, Miriam Lowery, Clyde McKinney, Janice Hicks, and Ralph Henry. Mr. William Vickery directed the large cast and most credit is due to him. Miss Evans, class dean, was untiring in her efforts, and Miss Ruyle and Mr. Taylor were of great assistance on the business side. Srtr� t -f -o J� tK- Operetta The Count and the Coed,” an operetta with plenty of action and college fun, was presented by the musical clubs on February seventeenth and eighteenth. Miss Ffopper directed the music and Miss Brown coached the dramatic side of the performance. The scenes take place in a typical American College and the action gets all mixed up with a Count, who is supposed to give an endowment to the college, and the appearance of a fellow, who isn’t a Count. Art Moxon (Kenneth Snooze” Anderson), who is in love with Francis Capps (Polly McSpadden) but is the college cut up,” disguised him- self to escape the traffic cop, Jim Lacey (Dan Flanigan), and is mis- taken for the Count. Mildred Rutherford (Miss Agatha Lockstep), the dean of women and a pessimistic person with the manners of a now forgotten age, adds much to the hilarious comedy with her obvious attentions to the phony Count. Mimi Walls (Sally Boggs) and John Self ( Sleepy” Carter) are two very lovable and enthusiastic Fresh- men with a real reaction when the moon is around. Clara Mae Strubinger (Marjorie Blackburn), the belle of the campus, and Warren Smith (Hamilton Hunter), the B.M.O.C., show by music and actions that the moon is significant to them, too. With a fluttering and protective -nanner Mary Kay Hardesty (Mrs. McSpadden) fusses over poor worried Jack Roy (Dr. McSpadden) and is such a good helper when the thrilling Count comes along. John Clark (Mark Watson), Naomi Runyon (Amy Lowell), and Veta Mae Walker (Judy Baxter) are other collegians. A supporting cast of singers and dancers made the Count and the Coed” a grand success.

May Festival The May Festival, which is an annual event presented by the Treble Clef helped out by the other music organizations, was given on the eve- ning of April 28. It was also presented before the school assembly on the afternoon of April 29. This performance was primarily of three parts. The first part was composed of a music concert, given by the Treble Clef, the Boys’ Glee Club, and choir, which consists of students selected from the respective clubs. The second part offered the guest of the evening. This year Mr. Hitchcock, our band director and an accomplished violinist, appeared as guest. The last, but not least, was the festival itself. Clara Mae Strubinger was crowned Queen as many had expected she would be. Other honors were as follows: Naomi Runyon, Maid of Honor; Betty Lu Oxley, First Maid; and Frances Capps, Crown-bearer. Other attendants were Helen Mutch, Helen Tobin, Veta Mae Walker, Emmilene Jewsbury, Marjorie Krone, Miriam Lowery, Mildred Ruther- ford, Frances Robinson, Emma Lee Walls, and Genevieve Self. The stage was a very beautiful setting, resembling nature as it is in the spring time. It seemed to be that of a beautiful garden, that is really fit for a queen. The festival would not have been complete without some kind of dancing. This was taken care of by the Maypole and Garland dances. The dances were very well presented and showed some very good talent. This event certainly started off the month of May in a big way and everyone was well pleased with the Queen. Seveuty-fomr Wood , Moxon, Hail, Brubaker, Lei, Sevier, Strlbincf.r, Weaker. [unior-Scnior Banquet and Prom This year the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom was one of the most outstanding social events. This big event took place on the eve- ning of Thursday, April 14. It was given by the Junior Class with Arthur Moxon acting as general chairman. Assisting Arthur, Gratia Hall acted as co-chairman. Under the supervision of Miss Groves, Junior class Dean, and the two chairman, those that helped are as follows: Glen Sims, publicity; Carol Winks, program; Fran Capps, banquet; Henry Meyer, check room; Vina Mather, punch; John Clark, tickets; Ray Brubaker, dance. Both the banquet and prom were given in the McClelland Dining Hall. The entire Junior Class put every effort into making this event a success. The banquet, which was opened by the invocation by Ray Bru- baker, Junior Class President, was a very royal affair. The theme of the banquet was Swing Time.” The after dinner speakers were as follows: John Clark as toastmaster, Gratia Hall—Pumping, Miss Ruyle—Send Off, Gwen Lee—Swing High, and Harvey Scott—Swing Low. After the banquet had been a great success, the prom followed and was also a success. The music was furnished by Ray Alderson and his orchestra. This year the new event was that of electing a prom queen. The Queen, Clara Mae Strubinger, was announced by Ray Alderson and was presented with some beautiful flowers by the prom chairman, Art Moxon. Just before the queen was announced, the Grand March took place. It was a gala sight with all the beautiful formals, flowers, and the like. The splendid evening was enjoyed by all. Sertn y-five TIXXZXXXZXXXlXXXCaOCOOOOQOL The Dan f. Homecoming The Homecoming game is always one of the highlights on the Jack- sonville High School gridiron schedule. The Crimsons were determined to win this game, for they had been defeated the last few years on Home- coming Day. Winchester was the worthy opponent of the Crimsons this year. Winchester was greatly outweighed by the J. H. S. gridsters, but they had a menacing aerial attack that had set several highly rated teams back on their heels. So the week before Homecoming Coach Walker drilled his players thoroughly on counter attacks against the Wildcats’ daunted aerial bombardment. The game got under way at 2:30. The Wildcats put up a good fight throughout the game, but their passes, their most effective weapon, were bottled up and they failed to stay in the running. The Crimsons with their better field generalship and weight ran through the Wildcats and smothered them by a score of 39-6. Thus, the Crimsons’ hope for a Homecoming victory was fulfilled. This victory also kept the Crimsons’ ’38 record untarnished. At the half the entire student body at the game participated in a snake dance, keeping up the spirit of the game. At the David Prince Gymnasium in the evening the football players were honored at the Homecoming dance at which Goes’ Orchestra played. The gym was gayly decorated in Red and White. There was an unusually large number of alumni at the dance. The student body was also well represented and everyone had a grand and glorious time celebrating one of the most successful Homecomings in recent years. Srrrirfy- ft The call, three rings of the bell, and all anxious feet move rapidly toward the auditorium, for everyone knows that some good program is in store. The assemblies are primarily of three different types: educa- tional, amusement, and pep. During noon-hour, and even all day long, many students go to our cafeteria where good food and drink have been prepared under the very capable management of Mrs. J. S.

At Illinois, Coach Walker ■playc halfback on the University of Illinois foot- ball. team, and due to his superb football playing ability Coach Walker won nation-wide recogni- tion as an outstanding athlete. When Coach Wal- ker came to Jacksonville, Athletics were at a very low ebb, but Walker with his exuberant spirit has brought the Jacksonville teams back to high stand- ing. Since Coach Walker came to J. H. S., Jack- sonville’s football teams Yiave improved steadily. Fast football season Walker was about the hap- piest Coach in Central Illinois when his team went through the grid season undefeated and won the Central Conference Crown. His basketball teams have always been tough quintets to beat. His track teams have been very small and. due to this lack of interest, they have not shown up so well. Coach Walker also teaches the High School and David Prince Physical Education Classes. Assistant Coach Dick” Welty is a newcomer to Jacksonville. He came to J. H. S. from Nor- mal. At Normal, Coach W'elty played on the varsity football team and ran the hurdles for the track team. Dick” has assisted Coach Walker in football, basketball, and track. Coach Welty has charge of the underclassmen and thus has an im- portant part in supplying material for future Jacksonville teams. His Freshman-Sophomore bas- ketball team made a splendid showing this season by winning 17 games and losing only 6. Assistant Coach Glen Hickle is a veteran member of the Coaching staff. Coach Hickle, during his college days, played a guard position for his Alma Mater, Heading Academy, now Illinois Wesleyan, football team. Before coming to Jacksonville Coach Hickle was Head Coach of Athletics at Griggsville and Kinderhook. At those schools, he turned out many excellent teams. At J. H. S.. Coach Hickle has continued to render valuable service for the J. H. S. teams. Pop,” as he is better known on the athletic field, teaches Chemistry in the high school. Mr. Hollowcll has rendered valuable services to the Athletic Association by taking care of the finances. He also coached the newly organized softball team.

Yea White! Yea Crimson com- plete their first undefeated season since 1914! Jacksonville High with its best team in 23 years rolled over its 1937 schedule undefeated. The Crimsons captured the Central Conference crown by victories of 13-7 over Beardstown, 13-0 against Clinton. 13-0 from 1. S. D., and a thrilling 7-6 win over Lanphier. In non-conference games the Crimsons won four and tied two, making a season’s record of eight victories and two ties with the Red and White, scoring 131 points to their opponents' 2 , but these games were not dished out on a silver platter. They were won due to the tireless effort of Coach Frank Walker and his two assistants. Coaches Hickle and Wclty, and much hard practice and training every day from the time school started until the close of the gridiron season. At the beginning of the season. Coach Walker had eight letter men back: Capt. Abell, Chinoweth, Hickle, Summers, Spink, Newbery, and Scott. After two weeks of practice, the Crimsons were ready to start on a tough schedule. On a hot afternoon, J. H. S. opened against Pittsfield. After both teams finished 48 minutes of perspiring in the dust, the game ended tied. 0-0. In their first Central Conference game the Crimsons soundly whipped Beardstown 13-7. The entire game was played in a steady downpour of rain in a quagmire of mud. The next week the Crimsons defeated Clinton 13-0 for their second conference win. The Crimsons celebrated their Homecoming royally by smothering Winchester 39-6. In a hard fought game at Jerseyvillc under lights, the Crimsons won 6-0. For the second year in succession, the Crim- sons won the Prep City Championship by drub- bing I, S. D. 13-0. This was also the Crimsons’ third victory in the conference. Back on the home grounds, the Jacks de- feated Carrollton in a thrilling game 13-6. Traveling to Virginia on Armistice Day, the Crimsons defeated Virginia 27-0. The next week Jacksonville met Lanphier for their final Conference game. This proved to be the most breath-taking game of the season with J. H. S. winning, 7-6. The last game of the season was played on a snow covered field at Carlinvillc. After a hard Elfhly-foi I fought game in the bitter cold, the game ended tied, 0-0. This was the last high school game for the following eight Seniors: Capt. Ray Abell, played brilliantly the entire season for the Crimsons at left end. His outstand- ing performances secured him a place on the All- Conference team. He also received honorable men- tion on the All-State team. Windy” Chinoweth turned in a great per- formance for the Red and White at left tackle. Windy was one of the best and scrappiest tackles Jacksonville has ever produced. His work placed him on the Conference All-Star team. The Crimson line next year will miss Dick Husted, fast charging, hard hitting, right guard. Dick's good work earned him a berth on the Con- ference All-Star team. Bob Butch” Hickle was our generalissimo. Butch” proved himself to be a good general and also an accurate passer, and a great line plunger. Bob’s all-around ability secured him a position on the All-Conference team. Everett Summers, fleet-footed left halfback, starred until he was injured at Jerseyville. He was greatly missed by the squad for the remainder of the season. A big gap will be left in the lineup by the graduation of Harvey Scott. Scotty” played a bang-up game at right half and could always be counted on in a pinch. He was a good punter and did a lot of passing. John Newbery, fullback, packed the punch when first downs were needed. His best perform- ance was in the Lanphicr game when he ripped off several long gains. Wayne Smith, a dependable sub, was always ready to do his best when called upon. His per- formance throughout the year proved him to be a valuable man. The annual football banquet was served December 13, with Coach Walker as toastmaster. Bob Spink was elected to Captain the ’38 Crimsons. Bob, -we wish you best of luck. The following boys received letters: Captain Abell, Chinoweth, Husted, Andrews, Massey, Vas- concellos, Johnson, Hickle, Summers, Scott, New- bery, Spink, Jordan, Smith, Wernle, Brubaker, and Loomis. Eighty ftwe The Pip Squad and Basketball Team in Action. Pep Squad The Pep Squad is a moderately new activity in this school. The organization was originated last year by Miss Katherine Frentzcl. At first, only girls were members of this club. Later, however, membership was opened to the entire school. This year the club was sponsored by Miss Hedges and Mr. Walker. Rosella Buescher, Sandy” Sanders, Paul Ketncr, and Gerald Vasconccllos were cheer- leaders. The Pep Squad was present at all home foot- ball games and added greatly to the spirit and en- thusiasm of the school, They cheered our team on to victory and supported them when the fighting was tough. Financed by the activity fund, the Pep Squad was able to accompany the team to one outside game. They chose to go to Virginia. It was during the basketball season that the Pep Squad was most outstanding. Supporting our team to the utmost at all times and leading others in their cheering, they greatly added to the excite- ment of this basketball season. The Pep Squad adopted the school colors, red and white, as the colors for their outfits. The girls wore white skirts. white shoes, red jerseys, white shirts, and small red hats with a white J upon them. The boys wore white trousers, white shirts, red jerseys, and the regular Pep Squad hat. They made a very colorful pep squad. This year the various clubs in the school were in charge of the selling of candy under the super- vision of Mr. Agger and Mr. Hickle. The members of Pep Squad were always willing to help in this undertaking. The Pep Squad differs from any other club in the school in that it has no regular meetings. The organization meets at the basketball games. The Club’s only officer is its president. Paul Ketncr, The Pep Squad is an all-school organization and Joes not have a limited membership. This year basketball has had one of its most successful seasons. Many of the players on the team were Seniors who have played their last games for J. H. S. The attendance at these games has greatly increased to that of previous years. This is due to the success of the activity plan. The Athletic Association is in favor of this plan. TfttrJ Roe—Jobmton.

S. cagers won 15 games and lost 16, but this record does not give you the true picture of the scrapping Crimsons. If you just glance at the rec- ord, it may not look so impressive, but if you in- vestigate it further, you will find that the scores show that the Crimsons were always in the thick of the fight, for they lost four games by one point and several others by very close margins. The climax of the season was a 21-20 victory over Bluffs for the regional crown. Bluffs was the tournament favorite, but the Crimsons put the skids under them. The game was close throughout and was not won until the last eight seconds of play when Baptist, Coultas, and Abell dropped in baskets to win the game. In the sectional at Pittsfield the Crimsons were defeated by Milton, 21-28. Most of the sting was taken out of this defeat when Milton went on to win the tournament. The following were awarded letters: Capt. Johnson, Gaitens. Baptist, Smith, Abell, Sorrells, Coultas, Little, Vasconcellos, and Weaver. Seniors Abell, Baptist, and Smith will be greatly missed by the 38-,39 cagers. BASKETBALL SCORES Bluffs 44. J. H. S. 17 Fcitshans 13, J. H.S. 12 Fcitshans 27. J. H. S. Whitehall 24. J. H.

This spring they have games scheduled with Routt, Franklin, Murrayville, Waverly, Chapin, and Meredosia. Golf Last spring when Mr. Agger called out his golfers, he found that most of his veterans had graduated. H. Littler was the only experienced fellow back. However, he soon found new talent in Ed. Osborne, M. Osborne, and Chas. White, who along with Littler composed the '37 J. H. S. team. The team had only two meets. The first meet was with Routt. This meet is played an- nually to determine the city champ. Routt won after a tough match. The second meet was the district. White was the only player to qualify for the state, and he lost in the first round at Champaign. This spring the team, composed of M. Os- borne, C. White, H. Reynolds, B. Johnson, R. Summers, and R. Frye, have the Routt and district meets scheduled. Kliuly defeated by a team from New Trier which was Handicapped by the loss of Hamm and Luke- man from the 1936 team, the team started the sea- son with two veterans, Bud Black and Bill Hemp- hill. These two experienced players, with Rowe Samueil, Seniors, Jim Couitas and Jim Lacey, Sophomores, and Bob Weaver, a Freshman, com- posed the 1937 team. The Jacksonville High School net-men started the tennis year successfully by defeating Litch- field three matches to one. Samueil won his singles match while Findlay lost his match. The doubles teams of Black-Hemphill and Coultas-Lacey were victorious. Next, the Crimsons went to the district meet at Litchfield where the singles players, Weaver and Samueil, were eliminated and the doubles teams won the right to go to the state meet at Cham- paign by winning all their matches. At the state meet the doubles team of Black and Hemphill lost a hard fought, three set match ceded fifth in the tournament. After the state meet, the Crimsons went to Quincy where the teams tied two all. The doubles teams won and the singles players lost. This brought the season to a close. Letters were awarded to Bud Black, Bill Hemphill. Jim Couitas, and Jim Lacey. As Black, Hemphill, and Samueil were Sen- iors, this spring’s team will have veterans Jim Couitas. Jim Lacey, and Bob Weaver as the nu- cleus around which to build the team. This spring’s tennis team has games sched- uled with Quincy and Litchfield. The team will also participate in the district. Then the players who arc successful in the district will go to the state meet at Champaign. 'V' f Sine ty-on T rack x xzxzxxxzxaxjocaxax ThsrJ Rou-— oach V'ilk«r, M|r. Johnson, Auiumc Coach H’ellf.

The track team won its first meet in eight years when it left Litch- field on the short end of the 86-56 score and in the conference meet the team placed second. The first meet of the year was with Carrollton. This was an English style track meet. The Hawks defeated the Crimsons by a small margin. In a quadrangular meet at I.S.D., J.H.S. placed second. All the boys showed marked improvement and indicated they were going to be one of Jack- sonville’s best teams. The next meet was with Litchfield. In this meet, the Crimsons ran wild and captured thirteen of the fourteen first places. Capt. Bob Grcenleaf was the star of the afternoon. He won first place in the 100, 220, and 440 yard dashes and the broad jump. E. Summers placed first in the high jump and javelin. H. Scott took first in the two hurdle races. The other first places were won bv— Johnson—discus, Anders—880 yard run. Andrews —shot put. Hopper and Leeper tied in pole vault, and the relay team. In the Central Conference meet J.H.S. took four first places and placed second with 58 points, 4 points behind I.S.D. Capt. Bob Grcenleaf won the 440; E. Summers won the javelin; M. Henry took the 200 yard low hurdle race, and H. Scott won the 120 yard high hurdle race. Other places were as follows: Hopper third in 440 yard run, Osborne third in 880 yard run, Henry second in 120 yard high hurdle race, Scott second in 200 yard low hurdle race, Andrews fourth in shot put, Johnson third in the discus throw, Leeper third in pole vault and high jump, and Greenlcaf second in the broad jumps. In the District meet M. Henry and H. Scott were the only two men to place for J.H.S. Henry placed third in the low hurdles and Scott fifth in the high hurdles. After the District, the Crimsons went to Pitts- field relays. Then Capt. Bob Greenleaf won the 440 yard run and tied for second in the broad jump. Harvey Scott placed second in the high hurdles.

A. enjoyed one of its most successful voyages under the leadership of a new sea captain. Miss Marjorie Hedges. This is Miss Hedges’ first year as instructor at J. H. S. She is a graduate of the University of Illinois and has proven a pleasant and helpful skipper of the club. The members of the G. A. A. belong to the Girls’ Athletic Association of Illinois, competing annually for the state award. It is a worthwhile organization. The girls may earn numerals in this activity the same as the boys can in athletics. The earning of these numerals is based upon a point system. For each sport in which a girl partici- pates she receives a definite number of [joints. The total number of points determine the winning of a letter. It is the ambition of every club member to earn a letter. The Girls’ Athletic Association embarked on its season of activities by the election of officers, which resulted as follows: President, Mabel Holle; Secretary, Juanita Schiidman; Treasurer, Annabel Williams. The G. A. A. meets twice a week, on Monday and Wednesday. The club was very fortunate this year in being able to start the season otf with some new equipment. Included in this equipment were bas- ketballs, a volleyball net, baseballs, and baseball gloves. This additional equipment enabled more girls to take part in the sports. The purchase of the new equipment was made possible under the new activity plan for which the club is very grateful. The outstanding social event of the year was a play day held in the Jacksonville High School Gymnasium, October 25, 1937. Five schools were represented: Winchester, Ashland, Illinois School for Deaf, Edinburg, and Beardstown. Another event which created much interest within the club was the competition carried on throughout the year with I. S. D. teams in soccer and baseball. A full season of sports was enjoyed; base- ball and basketball being the most outstanding. Rivalry between teams within the club, as well as outside competition, made this club a very happy and exciting activity thoroughly enjoyed by its members. ldnuty-ibret zzzzz xpcoooaaoooa tjooooooooi Gamis Bung Piavii in Gnus’ Gym. Girls Athletics There have been many changes in this de- partment of education during the last year. Under our new hour period system only Freshmen and Sophomores were required to take gym. This has greatly decreased the number of students par- ticipating in athletics. However, those girls who do take gym have a longer class period and are, therefore, able to spend more time upon each sport. This year the faculty of J. H. S. has admitted many new members into its group. Among those recently admitted was Miss Marjorie Hedges. Her duties as instructor of Girls’ Athletics, sponsor of G. A. A., and leader of Pep Squad, have kept her very busy. Miss Hedges has been a real helper and a true friend and the entire school extends its appreciation to her. The girls who have taken gym this year have found that it was more interesting than ever before. The hour class period enables more time to be spent on each sport. The classes were di- vided up into teams and tournaments were held. The three most outstanding sports were bas- ketball, baseball, and soccer. These seem to be every girl's favorites. When a sport is being taken up in gym it is approached from many angles. The first step is learning how to play the game. Each girl must learn all the rules and regulations. After that, they practice the various positions and are given definite positions according to their skill. Then, the classes divide into teams and carry on competitive games. During the winter when the weather kept the girls indoors, sports such as soccer, kick-pin-ball, indoor baseball, volleyball, and basketball were enjoyed. When the preparation for the Prom was at its height, the girls were taught ballroom dancing. Also much time was devoted to folk dancing. All through the year much interest was cen- tered upon personal hygiene and posture. The girls were taught how, by simple rules of health, they might improve their posture and appearance. The department of Girls’ Athletics has en- joyed a complete and successful year. Khlly.f mr Above WILLIAMS WEST SANDERS BUESCHER BAYLESS BOSTON At the Right HOLLE SCHILDMAN B. BARBER SLATER DAY M.
