“
This book is a record of the outstanding events of the year 1939-40 at Jacksonville High School and should serve as a permanent reminder of the achievements of the Senior Class. This being the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of the Crimson J , we therefore consider it appropriate to use as our theme School Days . We, the Senior Class of 1940, dedicate our yearbook to Miss Louise Sheppard, our class dean, who has been a companion as well as a compe- tent adviser to us. Her charming personality has made an everlasting impression on the graduating class. Twinkle, twinkle little lights; You seem to shine so mony nights For operas, plays, and dances, too; Most every week there's something new. Looking downward from above, We see the school we all should love. Aside from studies, grades, and tests, We think our school is 'bout the best. Administration .................................... 9- 18 Students....................................... 19 - 52 Clubs ......................................... 53 - 62 Activities..................................... 63 - 88 Sports ........................................... 89-103 Advertising and Humor 104- 132 Dr. Stoops, our superintendent of schools, in spite of numerous respon- sibilities, has always shown a deep interest in the activities, both schol- astic and athletic, of our Senior class. Mr. John Agger, assistant prin- cipal and manager of the Student Activity Plan, is an important figure in our school life. Mr. Agger, Physics teacher, is also a prominent member of the faculty. Mr. Mutch, our principal, with his winning personality and fullest ca- pacity to understand our problems, has been an excellent counselor, espe- cially to those of us in the graduating class. Eleven THE BOARD OF EDUCATION A capable, public-spirited citizen can render no greater service to his community than to serve on the Board of Education. This country is credited with having the best public schools in all the world. This is due largely to the fact that men with vision are willing to render unselfish service to the youth of their community by helping to secure capable teachers, adequate school buildings, and modern instructional facilities. This city is fortunate in having men of this type serving on its Board of Education. Oldest in length of service are George B. Kendall, who has served for nine consecutive years as President, and Lawrence Oxley, who has served for the same time as Chairman of the Instruction Com- mittee. Recently death cut short the able services of Charles Ray Gruny who had been active on the Board of Education for the past seven years. His judgment was respected by his colleagues, and his integrity was unques- tioned. His keen mind and legal training were invaluable in the considera- tion of difficult school problems. The Crimson J points with pride to Mr. Gruny s record as a splendid example of clean living and devoted service to the democratic way of life. In his passing the schools of Jacksonville have lost one of their ablest and most devoted friends. Left to right: Mr. Ralph Hutchison, Mr. Fred Bailey. Mr. S. M. Foley. Mr. John Baird. Mr. C. R. Gruny Mr M C Reynolds. Mr. George B. Kendall. Dr. R. O. Stoops, Mr. L. T. Oxley, Dr. S. N. Clark. Mr. Fred Hopper. Mr. J. Lorson Left to right: Mf. John Agger, Mr. front Wolker, Mr. J. M. HoHowell. Dr R. O. Stoops, Mr. Basil Sorrells. Mr. J. C. Mutch, Mr. John To lof, Mr. Ralph Hutchison THE BOARD OF CONTROL The Board of Control, as established in 1932 by the Board of Educa- tion, is unique in its organization and represents the interests and best judgments of all who are concerned with the development of student activities within the high school. Policies are established, student organi- zation budgets considered, and the control of funds of student organiza- tions supervised by the Board of Control. The present membership is: Frank Robinson, President, representing the alumni of the high school; Ralph Hutchison, member of the Board of Education; Dr. R. O. Stoops, Superintendent of Public Schools; J. C. Mutch. Principal of Jacksonville High School; Frank Walker, Coach at Jacksonville High School. J. M. HoHowell is the appointed Secretary and Treasurer of Student Activities Funds in the absence of J. T. Taylor. The appointment of Mr. F. A. Robinson, J. H. S. 1916, to the Board of Control in February, 1940, was necessary because of the death of Mr. Basil Sorrells, J. H. S. 1912. The Board of Control wishes publicly to express its appreciation of the valuable service and steadfast interest which Mr.Sorrells had shown as its president from March, 1938, to Jan- uary, 1940.

Storting out at a football gome, we sow Mr. Welty frowning as the Crimsons fought hard. At school H. Spencer was learning algebra from Holly.' At the game also were Messrs. Johnson and Loomis. On the stage Miss Richeson was directing a ploy. In class Miss Smith was going over her lesson. Mr. Hitchcock was unaware of the next, but Mr. Agger wasn't! Sixteen . . .

In the foods lab Miss Larimore was stirring plum puddings. Messrs. Moore and West were in front, and Mr. Lair posedâwithout any fish. Our last shots got Miss Harney writing and Miss George ready for a speed test. Seventeen FACULTY ROLL CALL NAME SUBJECTS DEGREE EDUCATION Frances M. Alkire Study Hall 1. S. N. U..

Coultos, Lane JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class, ably guided by Miss Perbix, started the new school year with a campaign for the election of officers. When the final ballots were counted, the officials chosen to guide the class another year were as follows: Curtis Schillerstrom, President: Dick Lane, Vice-President; Janie Frank, Secretary: and Carol Coultas, Treasurer. A very indispensable body to the school, the Junior Council, met and elected the following officers: Janie Frank, President: Harris Rowe, Vice-President: and Porter Capps, Secretary. The Junior Council has been active in attempting to regulate traffic. A very entertaining program consisting of two one-act plays, Ven- geance Heights and Love in Bloom, was presented to the assembly on January 12. The leads were taken by Beth Robinson, Betty Wege- hoft, Martha Bayless, Bob McNeil, and William Sullivan. The main event of the year was one of the most picturesque and cleverly planned Junior-Senior Proms ever held. We give them a vote of thanks for such a lovely send-off and wish them the best of luck in their Senior year.

Under the able direction of the class dean, Mr. May, a very excellent group of class programs was presented in the Sophomore assembly which met in the auditorium Tuesday afternoons. Each week the program was presented by a different group, which was arranged through the indi- vidual home rooms. The programs have been both of the instructive and entertaining types, and have disclosed some real talent. In October the class played host to the Freshman Class, and the party was a huge success; again in January another party was given, and the fun was shared with the Freshmen. Then in February the Sophs were honored guests of the Freshman class at a very joyous Valentine Party. The class has made its Sophomore year a very interesting and pro- gressive one. All are looking forward to their future years and hope that they may have as much success as they have had in the past. Forty-five SOPHOMORES Top Row: Admire. Ahlquist. Alexonder. E. Allon, M. Allan.

At first we wondered whether or not we could tolerate such foolishness, but at last to our relief and satisfaction they calmed down and by the second semester they were truly one of us. In a very business-like manner they elected their class officers. They were as follows: Dick Cruzan, President; Katherine Baker, Vice-President; Marietta Wall, Secretary; and Jackie Wiant, Treasurer. The class is under the very able leadership of Mr. Moore. In October the class was entertained royally by the Sophomores, % and so dressed up in their best bibs and tuckers, they all enjoyed a de- lightful evening of games and dancing. In February the class turned the tables and entertained the Sopho- more Class at a delightful Valentine Party, which was a grand success. The decorations were carried out by hearts strung on red and white streamers. The class has made itself an asset to J. H. S., and we are all keeping an eye on them. Best of luck.

Entering high school at mid-year, it was difficult for the new members to become accustomed to their new routine, but with the co- operation of the student body they soon found their place in high school life. Two members of this group were honored with a special award given at their certificating exercises. Bill DeFrates and Helen Wilding were the students chosen for the American Legion and Auxiliary awards. The two students were selected for outstanding characteristics of true leadership and scholarship. A Review of an Historic Year was presented by seven members of the class in interesting talks, which showed careful study and special training in delivery. The topics that were discussed were: 1939's Place in History, The Second World War, The City of Flint Affair, America on Guard Against Propaganda, Seven Propaganda Guards, Vocational Choices, and Will There Be Work for Us. We expect much from this group and hope that by the time they are seniors they will have become outstanding in many activities in the high school. Fifty-two The Forum, which hos the distinction of being the oldest organization in Jacksonville High School, once more upheld its reputation os one of the most prominent clubs. Miss Leonhard, the adviser, again capably guided the members through a successful year. The meetings of the Forum were held on the first, third, and fifth Wednesdays of each month. The programs of debates provided supple- mentary training for several new members of this year's debate team. The interesting programs of the first semester were planned by Ardeen Black, Keith Ragan, and Ruby Newberry; second semester programs were planned by Ralph Smith, Porter Capps, and Bill Phillips. These debates covered an unusually wide field of subjects including national, inter- national, and school problems. A few representative examples of debate topics are Resolved, a declaration of war should be made only by a direct vote of the people ; Resolved, the president is justified in chang- ing the date of Thanksgiving ; Resolved, Leap Week should be made an annual affair in J. H. S. In the fall the annual picnic was held for the purpose of initiating new members into the club. Another picnic was held in the spring before the close of school. F O R U M President .........

Sibert Fifty-five Fifty-tix The Home Economics Club, sponsored by Miss Edna Osborne and Miss Alice Larimore, had a very interesting and busy year. This club, one of the youngest in the school, was organized last year for the purpose of promoting interest in occupations of the home economics field. Forty-one girls who were enrolled in the home economics classes made up the club. A get acquainted meeting, held on October 3, started the year for the girls. At the next meeting the new members were initiated into the club. The meetings were held every two weeks throughout the year and included programs related to National Education Week, Thanksgiving, ond hobbies, and knowing your school well. Just before Christmas vaca- tion a party was held at which refreshments were served. Later in the year a tea was held for the members of the club. In the spring the girls presented their outstanding program of the year, a style show. The members modeled clothes they had made during the year. The style show has been presented in the last two years in order to acquaint the girls of Jacksonville High School with the correct clothes for all occasions. A tea for the membersâ mothers was also held in the spring. The two advisers deserve much praise for the work they have done. President....................................

It also tries to create high standards of business ethics and ideals in its members. The purpose of the programs presented at the meetings, which are held the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, is to further these aims. The programs of the Commercial Club consisted, for the most part, of outside speakers. The interesting talks given by these people gave the members a better understanding of business places in the city. During several club meetings the members visited the business houses as well as having a representative address them. Several programs were presented by members of the club. These various programs were arranged by a program committee made up of Mary Winters, acting as chapman, aided by Ruth Denney, Lucille Kumle, and Loella Sloan. Aside from its regular meetings the Commercial Club also had several social events during the course of the year. A Christmas party, a spring picnic, and a Commercial Club Banquet were the most out- standing of these social gatherings. A George Washington assembly program was also sponsored by the club. Miss George, who supervises the club, deserves much credit. c 0 M M E R C 1 A L C L U B Fifty seven H I Y C L U B Inner Row: 0. Lane. Summers. Gunn, Hembrough. B Lane. Ferquion, Acree, Hermann.

It met each Thurs- day. On alternate weeks supper meetings were held; the other weeks the meetings were after school in the Y. M. C. A. office. Supper meetings were held in the High School Cafeteria and in the churches. An outside speaker was usually heard at these meetings, while informal discussions and studies made up the program for the meeting at the Y . The Hi-Y Club is an international group with similar clubs in many countries of the world. Its purpose is To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian char- acter. The Hi-Y and Tri-Y cooperate each year in securing money and food from the student body to make up a large number of Christmas baskets for needy families. At Christmas the Hi-Y sponsored an all-school dance. The club also sponsored a basketball league of high school boys. Among its special activities are inter-club meetings with the Spring- field Hi-Y Club and cooperation in the State Older Boys' Conference, in the Camp Seymour Training Conference, and in vocational studies. As its advisers the club had Mr .A. D. Hermann, secretary of the Jacksonville Y. M. C. A., and Mr. Paul West of the faculty. Fifty-eight The purpose of the Tri-Y Club is to uphold the principles of clean living, clean speech, and clean sportsmanship among the girls. Under the guidance of Miss Ruyle, the club, which was exceptionally large this year, fulfilled these aims in every way. The meetings, which consisted of a banquet and program following the banquet, were held every second and fourth Tuesday of the month. The programs were usually speeches of varied interest by local people. At the beginning of the year the annual picnic was held. The Tri-Y again sponsored a campaign for Christmas baskets for the needy. The whole school cooperated with the club in this worth-while project, supplying enough for twenty-two baskets. The success of this drive was due largely to the efforts of Betty Ann Green and her com- mittee. On February 13 the Annual Alumni Banquet was held, the theme centering around St. Valentineâs Day. There was a Fathers' Banquet in March and a Mother and Daughter Banquet in May. A formal spring dance, the closing social event of the year, was held at the Colonial Inn. Two members, Ardeen Black and Margaret Foley, were sent to the Older Girls' Conference in Evanston. President Vice-President .... Secretory ........

During the first semester the members studied pantomime and make-up. Also, the club was divided into three sections, each section working on a one-act play. A one-act Christmas play, Dust of the Road , was presented in a school assembly. Bill Goebel, portraying Judas, and Fred Hapke, Joan Gilchrist, and Bill Alexander, in supporting roles, all gave excellent per- formances. The one-act laboratory plays chosen by each section in the first semester were produced during the second semester. One purpose of these plays was to give everyone in the club a chance to participate in a production. They were also a method of testing the abilities of the mem- bers. Bill Goebel directed one of the plays, Here Comes the Bride. One of the others. His First Date, was directed by a MacMurray student teacher. The third play, The Finger of God, by Percival Wilde, was di- rected by Miss Richeson. All three of these plays were well received by the audiences. The club sponsored o St. Patrick s Day Dance tor the members. OFFICERS President......... Vice-President Secretary.......... Business Manager.

CARMAN POTTER The group of boys forming The Future Farmers of America in Jackson- ville High School are a part of a great national organization. This organi- zation has as its motto: Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, and learning to serve. The F. F. A. strives to create an increased interest in agriculture and its problems and to produce better and more educated farmers in America. There are several different ranks in this club; each member has the opportunity to work his way up to the highest rank. Initiation into the club qualifies the member for the first rank, greenhand. After one year of service and good work on a project the greenhand receives the second rank of Future Farmer. There were several boys who held the third rank of Master Farmer. These boys were Jacob DeOrnellos, Carl Breckon, Russel Taylor, Hobart Rigg, Byron Strawn, Marcus Strawn, Pat Fox, George Hardy, Marvin Kleinschmidt, Gerald Vasconcellos, John Loomis. Charles Harris, Eugene Glossop. The highest rank is that of State Farmer. There were no State Farmers in the club this year. The Ag basketball team again won the championship in their league. Mr. Loomis deserves much credit for his work with the boys. F. F. A. Sixty-one E N C I N E E R S' C L U B First Row: Voscorteellos. Prewitt. Wegehoft. Osborne, Jomeson Mr. May Second Roy: Pme.

Increasing the members' knowledge of new facts in the field of engineering was the purpose of this club. At the meetings, which were held every two weeks, varied, interesting programs plannd by William Benson were presented. Some of these pro- grams were talks by outsiders, followed by group discussions; others were presented by the members. Each member participated in two programs during the year. In addition to having these educational programs, the Engineers' Club also held a picnic in the fall and in the spring. This year a Father and Son Banquet was held along with an exhibition of the work done by the students. This gave the fathers an excellent opportunity to see what progress their sons had made during the year. Also, at the last of the year the club took a trip to the University of Illinois in order to go through the Engineering Department. This trip to Champaign is an annual affair. The Engineers' Club had different officers for each semester. Wayne Walker served as President; Jim Jordan as Vice-President; and Rose Hayes as Secretary, during the second semester. Mr. May, as faculty adviser, deserves much credit. President ......... Vice-President.... Secretary.........

In the past the entire school has entered into the election, but this year only the Juniors and Seniors voted. Joan Lukeman has been chosen most popular girl in the Senior Class. This is no surprise to her classmates, for Joan has been a leader in many clubs and activities including Dramatic Club, Tri-Y, and the music clubs. Her striking appearance and poise along with her pleasant smile and friendly personality have all contributed to her popularity. Bob Allan, the choice of his schoolmates as most popular boy, has long been prominent in his class. He was class president both in his Junior and Senior years and Sales Manager on the J Staff. His humor- ous smile, dynamic personality, and efficiency have won him many friends among students and faculty. An unusual incident happened in the Senior Class of 1940. Helen Ingram and Jack Roy tied for the honor of valedictorian. Both students had a score of 4.9687, based on a system of 5 points for straight A s. Sixty-eight HONOR STUDENTS Helen and Jack are to be commended not only tor their outstanding ability in scholastic rating but also tor their valuable participation in numerous extra-curricular activities. The thirty-seven students listed below are those who have made an average of B or above in their four years in Jacksonville High School or who have attended some other high school and finished at Jackson- ville High School. The following students compose the honor roll: Bob Allan; âDonald Atkinson; Lee Baptist; Ardeen Black; âVirginia Colwell; Dale Crowcroft; Norma Daly; Ruth Denney; âJean Drury; Sam Fancher; Joan Gilchrist; Helen Mae Goacher; Betty Ann Green; Jim Johnston; June Kumle; âMary Irlam; Jean Livengood; Angela Killam; Joan Lukeman; Phyllis Martin; Mimi Meyers; Pauline Miller; âWilliam B.

WARREN LUCAS Senior Editor....................................JUNE KUMLE The Herald this year became a bi-weekly printed newspaper, the first issueâa four-column 9x12 page sizeâbeing distributed on Septem- ber 15, 1939. It was very enthusiastically received by all the students. And then came another change in its shape. On December 8 The Herald joined the ranks of the streamlinedâ newspapers, changing its form of make-up. The page size was increased to five columns on a 12x14 sheet. Under the guidance of its editor, William Miller, The Herald has been active in school affairs, sponsoring the contest for the Queen of the 1939 Homecoming and publishing a special two-color Christmas issue. A new faculty advisory committee was appointed by Principal Mutch, consisting of Miss Moore, chairman; Miss Ruyle, Miss Leonhard, Miss Alkire, and Mr. Gunning. Mr. Kehl acted as the printing adviser. Seventy After a year of inactivity the Camera Club, which was first organ- ized two years ago, reorganized about the middle of this year. The activi- ties of the club were under the supervision of Mr. John Agger. All the members benefited greatly from Mr. Agger's thorough knowledge and understanding of cameras and the principles of photography. The purpose of the Camera Club is to teach the members the funda- mental principles of photography: how to handle a camera, how to devel- op and print pictures, how to make enlargements, etc. Several interesting field trips were taken during the year. The club went to the Capitol En- graving Company, the Strawn Art Home, Spieth s Studio, and Ardeen Black's home, where colored movies were shown. One of the oddest and most interesting ideas of the year was a scavenger hunt with cameras. Each member drew a slip with a subject for a picture written on it. In two weeks they had to bring back the pictures assigned. The meetings were given over to discussions of enlarging and developing pictures, studying the members' different type cameras, and criticizing pictures. Methods of making holiday season cards with pictures were also dis- cussed. A bulletin board of snaps'' taken of high school students was a regular feature of the Camera Club.

BOB DAWSON A new system was introduced into the musical clubs of Jacksonville High School this year. For the first time since the organization of these clubs the Juniors and Seniors met separately from the Freshmen and Sophomores. The two upper classes formed the Senior Boys' Glee Club and Treble Clef and the Senior Choir. The other two classes formed the Junior Clubs. In spite of the fact that it was the first year that the Junior and Senior Choirs operated separately, the Junior Choir experienced a highly active year. The outstanding activity of its first year was the presentation of the well known fairy-tale opera, Rumpelstiltskin.â This production was received very well by both the student and public audiences. Under the direction of Miss Hopper and Miss Holland the opera was excellently cast. The leads were well taken by the following: Rumpelstilt- skinâDick Cruzan: KingâGeorge Coraor; Jan, the millerâKeith Ragan; Sophia, the miller's daughterâShirley Ann Green. The remainder of the Junior Choir made up the supporting cast. Mary Bagale, Ruth Jean Sieg- fried, Janie Frank, and Opaline Bishop directed the dances.

GWEN SCHWAB The activities of the Treble Clef ran almost parallel to those of the Boys' Glee Club, the two organizations working together on most of the productions of the year. The first project was the magazine sale. Funds raised by this sale were used in putting on programs throughout the year. The annual Treble Clef Tea was held in the fall. Former members of the club and the present members' mothers were invited to this program. The Treble Clef Girls also sang in the minstrel chorus and the Christmas Vesper service. On many occasions the girls sang at various clubs and gatherings in the city. Their programs were always thoroughly enjoyable. Five girlsâJoan Lukeman, Anna Louise Rataichak, Myrna Mansfield, Betty Ann Green, and Jean Livengoodâhad the honor of representing the Treble Clef in the State Chorus at Champaign. Among the club's many activities the annual May Festival was out- standing. The program was put on in an entirely different manner this year, making the ceremony especially interesting. It was presented in the first week of May. An assembly program was also presented in the spring. Treble Clef met on Monday and Wednesday under the direction of Miss Hopper. SÂŤvenfyfour Because of the dividing of the classes in the musical organizations this year the Senior Boys' Glee Club had a much smaller membership than in previous years. However, its activities this year covered as wide a range as in any other year. Under the direction of Miss Hopper the Glee Club enjoyed a full and busy year. Four boysâJack Roy, Earl Underbrink, Bill Goebel, and Bob Mallicoatâwere selected to go to Champaign to sing in the All-State chorus which met on November 1,2,3. The club spent the first part of the year working on the chorus numbers for the annual minstrel. This is the second year that the musical organizations had charge of the minstrel choruses. After the minstrel, plans were begun for the Vesper service, which was presented first to the public and then to the school just before Christmas vacation. The service was very impressive and well received by all. The Glee Club presented an assembly program to the student body in the latter part of March. Included in this program were burlesques of sev- eral light opera scenes and selections and a preview of the coming May Festival. Later in the spring the Boys' Glee Club sang several numbers in the concert given with the May Festival.

In the Armistice Day parade we saw them in their new uniforms for the first time, with Opaline Bishop as drum majorette. These splendid uniforms were purchased by proceeds from band concerts and other performances which the band has given. The band has also helped a great deal in arousing school spirit at our football and basketball games as well as in our pep assemblies. During the year the band has also been called upon to participate in many civic parades and celebrations. The first band concert of the year was pre- sented on December 12, one performance being given for the student as- sembly and one as an evening concert. On March 9 a band contest was held in Beardstown which included solo and ensemble events. The district band contest was later held on March 30. The band also sponsored a Band Festival in May. This year the membership of the band has increased, numbering almost fifty. To their capable director, Mr. Carol Hitchcock, the band owes much of its success, as he has been yearly greatly improving and en- larging this organization. Each year he replenishes its membership with new students from Junior High and the grade schools. Front Row: Mr Hitchcock, Bishop, DeShoro, Rexroot. Dunn, Pierce. Johnson, Young. Green. Cowgur.

This was also the first year in which a member of the Orchestra received the honor of attending the All-State Orchestra in Champaign, Illinois. From the applications submitted William Sullivan was chosen to participate in this event. The Orchestra has taken part in several pro- grams given by the high school, in addition to the joint concert which was presented with the Band near the close of the school year. The personnel of this year's Orchestra is as follows: ViolinsâMary Bentena, Mary Heaton, Russell Hembrough, Mary Irlam, William Sullivan, Ruby Newberry, Willard Prewitt, Junior Lamb, Virginia Maine: String BossâGeorge Mohn; ClarinetsâPeggy Goodrich, Carolyn Hitte, Mar- cella Taylor: AltoâEdward Daniels: FluteâBetty Peters; Cornetsâ Donald Atkinson, Charles Wiegman; TromboneâBen Lane; PianoâCarl Rieman; DrumsâGeorge Green. The Modernairs, a small orchestra composed of Ben Denney, man- ager, Carl Rieman, Charles Wiegman, George Mohn, Willard Prewitt, Bud Norbury, and Opaline Bishop, vocalist, has played for many of the school dances throughout the year and has been very popular and suc- cessful. o R C H E S T R A Seventy-seven THE MINSTREL The annual J. H. S. Minstrel was presented this year on the nights of November 21-22. Mr. Hollowell acted as interlocutor and directed the performance. Other faculty members were Miss Richeson, Miss Hopper, and Mr. Gunning. For the first time, twelve end-men took part in the minstrel. Bill Randall, a veteran of last year's minstrel, and Warrington Kent, Maurice Driver, Bob Mallicoat, Tom Caldwell, Harris Rowe, Dick Lane, Jerry Cohen, George Coraor, Dick Cruzan, held the crowd in hilarious laughter throughout the evening. The chorus was again made up of the Choral Clubs with Miss Hopper directing. Many specialty acts were featured: Richard Allan, Janie Prank, Mary Bagale, Porter Capps, Ruth Jean Siegfried, Jean Marie Cooper, Verla Admire, Janet Rempe, Ruth Vinson, Martha Bayless, Eleanor White, Vera Sue Cisne, Doris Jackson, Myrna, Junior, and Elsie Mansfield, Junior Underbrink, Frances Shibe, Jody Schildman, Mimi Meyers, Mary Bancroft, Betty Jane Conover, June Gill, Opaline Bishop, Norma Oberjuerge, Charles Weigman, Maurice Driver, and Bob Malli- coat.

Seventy-nine Christmas Spirit Expressed in Music VESPERS The Music Clubs presented the annual Christmas Vespers during the week December 10-17. An assembly for students was given on Thurs- day and the presentation was repeated on the following Sunday for the public. The program consisted of many solo and group selections and chorus numbers. Jack Roy read the Christmas Story from the Bible and the Junior Girls' Glee Club responded. The Choir wore the usual black robes and white vests. They carried lighted candles in the processional and recessional. A highlight of the performance was the singing of the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah. Miss Hopper capably conducted the affair. Mrs. Lois Eckman ac- companied on the organ and Mary Frances Allen on the piano. An elec- tric organ was graciously loaned for the Vespers by the Elks Club. The stage was beautifully decorated with lighted Christmas trees and flam- ing poinsettias. The faculty committee was as follows: Miss Osborne, assisting with stage: Miss Richards, ushers: Miss Leonhard, tapers; and Miss Holland and Miss Groves, costumes.

This May Festival has always been one of the loveliest events of the school year. This year the program was very informal but beautiful. Anna Louise Rataichak was crowned Queen in a gay program of music and dances. Betty Ann Green was the Maid of Honor with Joan Lukeman First Maid; Jean Livengood Second Maid; Carol Coultas Crown- bearer. Other attendants were Gwen Schwab, Joan Gilchrist, Mimi Meyers, June Gill, Helen Ingram, Myrna Mansfield, Ardeen Black, Pauline Miller, Clara Ben Nelms, Margaret Foley, Ruth Grogan, Mary Bancroft, Lucy Jewsbury, Mary Ator, Ruby Newberry, Mary Margaret Spencer, Rachel Husted. The Queen was attired in white with the first four girls dressed in various colors and the attendants dressed in similar pink formals. The Maypole and Flower dances, which are always necessary to a successful May Festival, were presented, showing great talent. This event started May in a fine way and everyone was pleased with the Festival. Eighty-one The play was under the excellent supervision of the director, Miss Frances Richeson, who was ably assisted by Miss Louise Sheppard, the class dean. Other members of the faculty and students helped on various committees. Eighty-two Front Row: Lukeman. Foley, Rogon, Miss Richeson, Schwob, Ingrom, Miller Second row: Hopke, Livengood, Johnston.

Davenport ARTHUR VORHES Prompter ARDEEN BLACK ART MENSEL The scene is in the home of Dr. Haggett, a simple country doctor, in a small Mis- souri town not far from St. Louis. The theme of the play is based on the unknown value of some paintings left at the doctor's house by Christopher Bean when he died. It was a mild surprise to Doctor Haggett and his family when an old friend of Bean's dropped in and paid Bean's old bill and only took away a couple of pictures as mementoes. It was a bigger surprise when another old friend of Bean's turned upon a similar errand, and the biggest surprise of all when a great New York art critic arrived to pay his respects to the memory of the dead artist. It was overwhelming when they learned that Christopher's daubs were worth a fortune, and how they scurried to find them. After a mad scramble hunting the pictures, they discover that Abby, the servant girl, was the wife of Chris Bean, and so they belong to her. Eighty-three Standing: Phillips, Ragan.

These beginning debaters have really done quite well and will all be back again next year to win high honors. The topic for debate this year was, Resolved, that the railroads should be owned by the government. The members of the A team taking the affirmative side of the question were Ralph Smith and George Coraor; Helen Patterson and Don Caldwell upheld the negative side. Keith Ragan and Bill Phillips made up the B affirmative team; Marie Gebhard and Curtis Schiller- strom composed the B negative team. During the year the team attended practice debates at Galesburg, Lincoln, Webster Groves, Augustana, and Monmouth. The district debate meet was held at MacMurray College on April 12. The team placed second in this tournament. This entitled them to attend the state meet at Champaign. At the district N. F. L. meet, which was held in Jacksonville on April 19th and 20th, the debate team placed fourth, competing against such schools as Pekin, Lincoln, DuQuoin, and Monmouth. Mr. Johnson has done an excellent job of coaching this year's splendid team. Eighty-four Front row: Copps. Bogole. B. Rogon. Roy. B. Robin on, Hofchiton. Potferton Second row: Mr. Johnson. Goacher.

Keach Johnson coached the extemporaneous speaking, and Miss Holland coached all other individual events. This has been an outstanding year for winning honors in speech work. In February about eighteen members of the team attended two successful contests in Charleston and DuQuoin. In the Illinois Speech League, Jacksonville placed first in the sub- district meet which was held in Winchester April 2 and at the district meet at Jacksonville on April 13. Betty Rae Ragan, Ralph Smith, and Nancy Hughes won their way to the state contest at the University of Illinois. A contest play, A Game of Chess, was presented during the year by Bill Goebel, Jack Roy, Fred Hapke, and Jerry Cohen. The boys were given Class A rating at both the sub-district and district contests and later presented the play at the University of Illinois. At the N. F. L. tournament, which was held at Jacksonville on April 19th and 20th, Jacksonville placed third. Betty Rae Ragan placed first in the verse reading finals of this contest. This qualified her to attend the National Meet at Terre Haute, Indiana. Eighty-five TEMPUS FUGIT SEPTEMBER Dear Diary, More fun. Here we are in school again. They kept us out for three whole months this summer. I was very much disappointed, but I guess the heat would have been too much for the teachers. This month everything is getting start- ed, all the classes, clubs, and or- ganizations. The Treble Clef girls invited their mothers to a tea on September I I, only they couldn't afford tea so they had punch. The next day there was a tiny, little guy in assembly, a Jiu Jitsu expert. He was assisted by three Japanese artists. Or were they artists? Or even Japanese? We wonder! For the more benighted of you I'd better add that by this I mean Jim Johnston, Dale Jackson, and Bob Jameson. Tonight I had a date withâwrong diary. On the fifteenth we sure beat the tar out of Win- chester in a football game, 6-0. On the same day the first issue of the Herald was issued. Laurels to the staff; it's better than ever this year, cause itâs printed. in assembly on the 19th, Keach Johnson gave us a lecture on how to ride a bicycle. On the 23rd a fellow spoke on how to win success. He looked pretty unsuccessful himself, if you ask meâbut you didn't, so let's continue. The next day we won our second game from Virginia. Everyone celebrated by going to see the Wizard of Oz. On the last day of this month, we, the J Staff, went to Decatur and painted the town red. Also, we played a tied game with Macombâ0-0. â OCTOBER This month has seemed rather dead to me. After the flurry and excitement of school's start- ing last month, the air at J. H. S. has seemed rather stale. Or is that feet? However, a few inter- esting events have popped, and I'll tell you about these anyway. Better late than neverâI mean âbetter something than noth- ing. On the 3rd we had a world speakerâexcuse me, that isâa world traveler who spoke in assembly. If you don't remember, boys, just ask the girls about that toll, dark, and handsome . On the 5th and 6th, Thursday and Friday to you who like things to be stated specifically, we didn't have any school because the teachers ran up to Teachers' Institute in Champaign. Maybe they didn't run all the way. They probably walked through Springfield on ac- count of the Chevies. You know how the billboards (curse them) read, Watch out, the town is full of Chevrolets . Then on the 10th the J Staff gave a skit to advertise this master product that you are now reading. But then I could talk on the merit of this year's J all night and not do it half justice; so I'll stop right now and you can see for yourself. The next day, the I Ith, we had an animal circus in Assembly. Some of the children on the front row got a special kick out of the monkeys. On the 13th the Treble Clef and Boys' Glee Club sponsored a Choral Hop to celebrate their success with the magazine campaign. We lost a game to Lincoln, the score 19-0. This happened on the 20th of October. On the 24th we had an assembly. I've forgotten what it was; so it couldn't have been much. Three days later, the 27th, we lost another gameâBeardstown, 27-0. . . . What a dull month. â NOVEMBER J. H. S. started this week off with a bangâI mean an air stewardess. Her name was Miss Gilroy, and she gave an inter- esting lecture in assembly (only coming from her it didn't sound at all like a lecture) on her duties and experience as a stewardess. The following Monday, the Jun- ior Choir presented its operetta Rumpelstilskin. On the I Ith of November we played our last game of the foot- ball season, with I. S. D. Because they beat usâ 19-0âthe less said about that the better; so we'll get on to the demonstration of television which took place in assembly on the 14th. We'll never forget how Martha Curry looks on the screen! Rip Van Winkle awakened long enough from his lethargy to come to J. H. S., but when he got here he went back to sleep. I refer here to John Ellis and Co. in assem- bly on the 20th of November. The annual minstrel wisecracked its way through two night perform- ancesâthe 21st and 22nd. Whoops and three cheersâThanksgiving Vacationâthe 23rd and 24th this year, courtesy of F. D. R. On the 29th our last assembly program this month was presented. Four state auto men gave a debate in assembly on the question of whether the pedestrian or motorist is more to blame for accidents involving both. Eighty-six DECEMBER Ho hum! The beggar's son! I made that bit of wit up all by myself. How do you like it? Personally, I think it's lousy. But that's neither here nor thereâ but I'm here, so let's get on with the business at hand. On De- cember 5th the basketball boys played Feitshans and were left holding the bagâI mean the ball. Well, it was our ball, wasn't it? In other words, we were beaten. Oh, well, one can't win all the time. During the month we played against Urbana, Carrollton, Beardstown, Athens, Decatur, and Lanphier. We lost some and won some and ended up by placing third in the Central Conference listing. The Herald issued a streamlined paper on the 8th. The only reason I mention this is because I was intimidated by the editor to do so, and Iâve found out that it doesnât pay to be on the wrong side of a newspaper. On the 12th, the high school band presented its annual concert. The band members were resplendent in new uniforms, or so that super-colossal paperâ(in the words of the ed- itor), the Herald, stated at the time. Miss Hopper presented the Choral Clubs in a Vesper of Christmas music on the 15th of December. In the morning of the 21st, some Swiss Bell Ringers rang their bells and sang several raucous oddities in assembly. On this afternoon a Christmas play, Dust of the Road , was given by aspiring (probably perspiring too by the time they finished) J. H. S. actors. To conclude this memorable dayâmemorable because it was the last before a blissful vacationâthere was a Christmas dance for couples onlyâthe first of a series. â JANUARY On the second day of this cold month we were dragged back to school after a luxurious, if short, vacation. Those little juniors gave two one-act plays in assembly on January 12th. They were, On Vengeance Height , and, Love in Bloom . Sullivcn's impersonation of a professor just too, too popular with some women was just too, too hilarious. There was a lot of midnight oil (elbow grease, perhaps?) burned on the nights of January 18th and 19th preparatory to the semester examina- tions so gleefully participated in by the entire stu- dent body on the 19th and 20th. On January 23rd our basketball team was defeated by Rushville. The score was too appalling to even be mentioned here. The Riti Trumpeteers, a quartet of third-rate variety exhibitionists, provided us with entertainment in assembly on January 24th. The first meeting of the Student Forum (sponsored by the Herald) was held in west study hali on Friday the 26th. Another as- sembly wos inflicted on us on January 30th. This time it was a Vibra Harp and two entertainers. One of them (the entertainers) contorted his face while the other flirted. Quite a combination! We played a basektball game versus Winchester on the night of January 31. Say, I'm becoming quite addicted to this 'on the night of business. I will have to stop before you get tired of reading and quit, or were you lucky enough not to have even started? â FEBRUARY The basketball team finally won a game. Well, Rah! This memorable event occurred on the David Prince floor when J'ville beat Roodhouse 22-16. Three cheers for the team. The date is February 6. Also today we had another assembly. Jack Raymon did a rather poor job of trying to convince us to like Our Rep- tile Friends. As far as I am concerned he con have them. The vaudervillish grandstand play put Raymon over. I'm glad he had something to do this. I hate to see an entertainer booed. We lost a same with I. S. D. on February 9th but made up for this loss by beating Havana on the 13th. In assembly on February 12th, we had a movie on Abraham Lincoln . Walter Huston as Abe turned in a swell performance. Una Merkel as Ann Rutledge wasâwell, we'll let that go. On the 15th a Mr. Marshall entertained the assembly. I believe he is some sort of minister of propaganda for Australia. Just listening to him for an hour success- fully convinced me that Australia is a Utopia, where one meets none of the ugly facts of life, where there is a fine selection of jobs for everyone, where every- one loves everyone else. On the evenings of Feb- ruary 22nd and February 23rd the double casts for The Late Christopher Bean got the Senior Play off their chests. After months of grueling long prac- ticing and a week of letting beards grow, hair get grey, and tempers get hotter, the night finally ar- rived. Both casts did splendidly, as a result of the intensive training received at the hands of Misses Frances Richeson and Louise Sheppard. Bob Hewitt, a cowboy from Wyoming, gave the student body a very interesting lecture and series of colored slides about life in Wyoming on February 23rd in assembly. Eighty-seven MARCH The âHerald Editor's dream of a Leap Week has finally taken place this weekâMarch 4th through the 8th. To climax a week of date-making by the girls and date-breaking by the boys, was a dance on the 8th. Much to his surprise and chagrin the above mentioned Editor got nary a date during the entire week. Guess he overrated his 'oomph'! On March 19th, J H. S. had a scientific assembly program entitled Dancing Electrons . They even did a jitterbug. Oh My! School was dis- missed for four daysâMarch 22nd-March 25th. Easter Vacation was the occasion. â ÂŤAPRIL I must confess, Dear Diary, that I am writing this account prior to the actual events hereafter to be recorded. This is unavoidable be- cause the J must go to press in the latter part of February. Thanks to John Agger, I was able to pro- cure a skeleton outline of the as- semblies, etc., ahead of time. On April 8th the Seilers' Marionettes entertained the student body in assembly. Don't ask me what student's body. But I heard-1 The faculty had to go to a teachers' convention in Springfield on April 12th. This af- forded the students a grand opportunity to stay at home, or at the White Front, or somewhere else without getting caught by the truant ossifer . The sophomores presented a play on the J. H. S. stage on April 17th. As this goes to press the title and cast haven't been decided upon as yet. Gee! Are my verb tenses becoming confused. But probably no one will ready this diary anyway, so I'll be safe from all condemnation, I hope! Where were you on the night of April 19thâbetween the hours of six and eight and nine and twelve? All school-spirited boys and girls were at the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. The juniors really did themselves proud this time. The banquet was at the Dunlap Hotel, and the Prom Dance was at the McClelland Hall of MacMurray College. April 26âGeoffrey O'Hara, composer and entertainer, instructed J. H. S. as to the Fun and Philosophy of Music . MAY May 2âwe say glass blowing in assembly. I might mention some- thing about windows paining and beds springing, but I can hear you all groaning so I will refrain. The Treble Clef presented its annual May Festival in assembly on the third day of this month. It was quite cleverly and artistically ar- ranged this year. On May 20th in assembly Jim Wilson told us all about his wild and woolly Africa. This was the last in a series of entertaining and educational assem- blies offered to the pupils of J. H. S. by the Activity Ticket plan. The school year is fast slipping away, and the class of 1940 is soon to pass through the portals of knowledge, never more to enter except as visitors. A tear comes to the eye as the many wonderful experiences of four years in a grand high school flit across the memory. But enough of this sentimental nonsense. One would think that the class of '40 is indispensable to J. H. S., but there will always be other classes to take its place. Bac- calaureate was on May 26th. It was so beautiful that I wish you could all have been there. Gradua- tion exercises were held on May 31. This year's seniors were passed through the portals of knowâ oh, I said that once, didnât I? I must be getting old to repeat so often. Goodbye, dear old J. H. S. â PUNY PUNS Here we are at school again. Summers certainly go fast! Not MUTCH has happened this first week, but I understand we have an assembly next week on HOLLAND; not that we ALKIRE for things like that, but we're not AGGER'vated. As a RUYLE, I don't HICKLE easily but I un- derstand Mr. HOLLOWELL is GUNNING for me. I almost went WEST, but I'm no WALKER. Now the final exams LOOMIS over us. Seems MOORE than we KAMM stand. By GEORGEI Here it is MAY already. Time certainly is some HOPPERI Good 'EVANS, finals again! This GROVES disturbing. Now the year is over; we DEEM ourselves grad- uated. We, the Senior Spirits. Eighty-eight Coach Crimson Cagers Mayes Plunges Through Revolta Reynolds COACHES FRANK WALKER Coach Frank Walker hails from Urbana, Illinois. Having graduated from Urbana High, he attended the University there where he became a noted gridiron star. He came directly to Jacksonville High School where he pulled the Athletic Deportment out of a slump. In 1937 Coach Walker coached his football team to a Central Con- ference Championship and an undefeated season. He has been exceedingly suc- cessful during the last several years with both basketball and track teams as well as his football team. RICHARD WELTY Assistant Coach Dick Welty graduated from the Illinois State Normal in 1937. There he was active in both football and track. He deserves a great deal of credit for his faithful service as assistant coach of the major sports and coach of the Freshman- Sophomore basketball team. GLEN HICKLE Assistant Coach Glen Hickle has been serving J. H. S. for fourteen years. He graduated from Illinois Wesleyan where he was on the football team. He has been a great help in bringing the school's teams to their present high standing. Ninety-two Front row: Webb. Groubner, B. Hudson, Stevenson. 0. Jackson. J. Loomis, Gephart. Vasconcellos.

Johnston Ass't Coach Welty Ass t Coach Hickle FOOTBALL The Jacksonville High School Crimsons ore justly proud of their successful football season. In spite of a stiff schedule the Crimsons started the 1939 season with a bang, checking up four consecutive victories. During the last half of the season several of the players received injuries serious enough to cut down Crimson efficiency. Perhaps the highlight of the season was the Crimson's victory over Canton's strong eleven. Another thrilling game was witnessed when the Crimsons met Lincoln, a team whose backfield was rated as one of the best in the state. Captain Vasconcellos led his team to three victories, one tie, four defeats. The fol- lowing boys were honored with football letters as awards for outstanding achievement: Vasconcellos (cap't.), Sorrells, Loomis, Andrews, Stevenson, Mayes, Caldwell, Anderson, Jackson, White, Gephart, D. Hudson, Nealon, Stringham, and M. Johnson. The annual football banquet was held on November 15 with Coach Walker pre- siding as toastmaster. The banquet was sponsored by the mothers of the football players. The following seniors will be greatly missed next year: Vasconcellos (cap't.), Sor- rells, Caldwell, Andrews, Jackson, Loomis, Mayes, Stevenson, and White.

Although this record is not very impressive, the Crimson Cagers put the skids under many of the favorites. Coach Walker's boys went through an exceedingly tough schedule, meeting such teams as Decatur, Urbana, Quincy, and Lanphier. Perhaps one of the most exciting games was the game with Bluffs in the Virginia Regional Tournament. The Crimson Cagers were nosed out in the last five seconds of play by the spirited Bluejays. 1939 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Murrayville . . . . . 17 31.... J. H. S. Feitshans . . . . 34 26 J. H. S.

Ninety-six FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL Coach Dick'' Welty has been exceedingly successful with his Freshman-Sopho- more basketball teams. Last year his team won nineteen games and lost only five. Al- though this yearâs team was not quite as successful, they did very well in chalking up eleven victories against ten defeats. The young Crimsons defeated such strong cagers as Athens, Rushville, Illinois School for the Deaf, and Pittsfield. The following boys have played in a majority of the games: Williams, Bradney, Mathews, Fry, Marx, Lynn, Young, Birdsong, and Reeves.

TRACK The Jacksonville High School track team finished the 1939 season with a very high standing. The Crimsons began the season by placing third at the Winchester Invita- tional Tournament. Then the J ville boys walloped Havana by a large margin. Meets were then held at I. S. D., Beardstown, and Taylorville. In the Central Conference meet at Beardstown, Jacksonville placed fourth. In the district meet at Taylorville, which was attended by Cap t. Charley Johnson, John Irlam, Jack Andrews, and Dee Frost, John- son and Irlam qualified for the state meet which was held at Champaign. Irlam went to the meet but did not place. The following boys were awarded major letters in track: Captain Charley Johnson, John Irlam, Dee Frost, and Jack Andrews. Coach Walker has scheduled four meets for this spring. GOLF The Jacksonville High School golf team was composed of Captain Charles White, Basil Sorrells, Marcy Osborne, and Howard Reynolds. At the first of the season, the Crimson golf team defeated Quincy in a practice match. Then they went to the district meet at Litchfield where they won the first place honors. The entire team journeyed on to the state meet at Peoria. J. H. S. placed fifth out of the entire thirty-six teams. With ten boys turning out for the first practice, we expect the golf team to have a very successful season this year. One Hundred GOLF Front row. left to right: Reynolds. Jomeson, Miller.

TENNIS The Crimson tennis team has been very active this last year, having won all six scheduled matches. The first meet was held at Litchfield where the J ville racqueteers made a clean sweep of all of their matches. Continuing on to the district tournament, they won the first place trophy. Weaver, Coultas, Lacey, Moxon, Findley, and Artz composed the team that went to the state tourney. Weaver proceeded to the second round before he was defeated. Coultas and Lacey were subdued by the state finalists. Last fall the team made up of Weaver, Mac Pine, Bob Pine, Bradney, Cloud, and Marx tied Litchfield. These boys are looking forward to a very successful spring season. One Hundred One G. A. A. PLAY DAY GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Under the capable direction and supervision of Miss Dorothy Whit- aker the Girlsâ Athletic Association has been highly successful this year. At the beginning of the year the following were elected officers of the organization: President........................ANNABELLE WILLIAMS Vice President...........................BEULAH BARBER Secretory........................ISABELLE KIRKPATRICK Treasurer..................................ALINE EVANS The meetings were held every Monday and Wednesday after school in the girls gymnasium. After a short business meeting the girls occupied themselves by putting on various gymnastic demonstrations in the gym and on the playground. The Girlsâ Athletic Association sponsored its annual play day on October 28. Several schools participated in these games, including Ashland, I. S. D., Petersburg, Winchester, and Jacksonville. Besides the officers of the club Marjorie Redding and Becky Imboden were also given awards. These awards were given on a point basis for outstanding achievements. Two girls were chosen and attended the dis- trict camp at Lake Bloomington. These girls were chosen on the basis of merit and service to the club.

Jr., If you think you can call me all sorts of names one day and then make me unmad by a flowery note the next day you're very mistaken. I wouldn't forgive you for calling me brazen if you were the last soul on this earth. Yours truly, Miss------------. P. S. About the Prom, I might consider going with you. Don't think for a minute that I couldn't get another date. I could have plenty of them, but I had already accepted yours. P. P. S. S. Maybe I have been a little too harsh with you.

One Hundred Twenty-nine LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Whereas we have hereby arrived at the said stage of our existence when we must willingly or otherwise leave this school; it seems meet that we, the Senior Class of Jacksonville High School, should, therefore, draw up this document, our last will and testament. Firstly, we leave Jacksonville High School to the degeneration into which it must fall upon being de- prived of our presence. Secondly, we leave to the school a few visible means of remembrance, such as: Initials carved on desks, chewing gum, o few class members, etc. Thirdly, we leave the Faculty in a sorrowing state of mind because such smart people are leaving. Fourthly, we leave to the Junior Class the coveted honor of occupying our position. We hope, how- ever, that the name of Senior will never be dis- graced by their conduct. Fifthly, we leave the Freshmen and equally dumb Sophomores the consoling thought that all things do end sometime. NoteâSince there are a few things which no one seems to want or need, we hereby merely leave them behind. Bill Goebel's jokes. Ardeen Black's endless chatter. Junior Underbrink's fatal charm. Donald Atkinson's miraculous mathematical mind. Sam Fancher's alibis. Cop: Who was driving when you hit that cor?â Bob Caldwell: None of us, we were all in the back seat. A recent postcard from a teacher read: Hav- ing a wonderful time, wish I could afford it. Teacher: Do you think George Washington could have pitched a dollar across the Rappa- hannock River, as he is said to have? Keith Ragan: I don't know: I guess so. It says in our history book that Washington pitched his camp across the Delaware when chased by the British.
