The encouragement and assistance tendered us by our patrons, by our fac' ulty, and by our student body have been indeed gratifying. We have striven to uphold and ad' Vance those traditions and ideals fostered by our predecessors. We sincerely hope and believe that if this has been accomplished, our efforts have not been in vain. 2 FIVIHUQ- CCAXIQIDIINAXIL Dedication To MISS EMILY C.

T. H. S. All great things have humble beginnings-so it is with Johnston' High. On a pleasant spring evening, some two decades past, the setting sun sought rest beneath the western horizon, casting its last flickering glow on a little white school house, sixteen years later, that selfsame sun rose again, seeking in vain for that little white school house. However, it did burst forth in all its splendor on that palatial, gorgf eous masterpiece of architectural intellect, better known as the Johnston City Town' ship High School. Such has been the remarkable expansion of our dear Alma Mater. So has it prospered and grown. u That little white school house with a three year course, a student body of twelve, and a faculty of one, was dissolved in 1904, it yielded to the age of civic improvef ment. Our high school at that time was transferred to the new Jefferson School building, where it occupied one room in 1905f1906, but it soon outgrew this alloted space, so the number of rooms increased to three: an assembly hall, a class room, and a science room. There was a single graduate in 1909. The following year the number had inf creased tenffold. As the enrollment increased, more rooms were added and more activities undertaken. The faculty had increased to three members by 1917. At the close of the 1919 term, it was obvious that the child had outgrown its surroundings-a new high school was absolutely necessary. The question of deciding the fate of the proposed new school was evidenced in the spring elections. After a very close election, the issue was passed. Our new school cost approximately H5175,000.00. By October, 1920, the new building was ready for occupancy. The 1921 enrollment totaled one hundred and twentyfseven. Five very efficient instructors constituted the faculty. The new surroundings seemed to inspire the students to greater things-the first edition of the Cardinal was published, and a winning basketball team aided much in raising our prestige. 1922 found one hundred and fifty students and seven teachers comprising our school. A football team which won half of its games was instituted during the term. Two very important achievements are recorded for 1923: a new Commercial Department was added to the school curriculum, and J. C. T. H. S. received rec' ognition by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The graduating class of 1924 consisted of twentyffour members, the largest class to be graduated up to that time. They were the first class to complete an entire four year's course at the new high school. In 1925 Mr. H. E. Reynolds was made high school principal. Our greatest achievement for the year was the winning of the Little Ten and Southern Illinois football championship, under the coaching of Mr. L. M. Patton. 1926 is undoubtedly the brightest year in the calendar of'-Iohnston City High. Winitiiig teams in both football and basketball were produced. Such new activities as student government and debating have been instituted. The enrollment of two hundred and seventy students and seventeen instructors is unparalleled and the graduating class of over forty is almost double that of any previous class. We justly point to J. C. T. H. S. with pride, for does she not have the highest possible scholastic standing, does she not turn out winning athletes, does not her curriculum contain a very wide variety of subjects, does she not have the most beautiful campus in Illinois, and does she not prepare for the world real men and real women? From simplicity, to mediocrity, and then to the heights of supremacy, that is the history of Johnston High. 7 TVJHUE CAXJPIDJKNAUL W 3454 ' x CORRIDOR ENGLISH CLASS ROOM Q 'UVJHUE CAAXJQIDIKNAUL X-ff? libfff --., ' f 29 EL- ' MANUAL TRAINING GYMNASIUM 9 'JVJHUE CAAXJRIDHINAXIL gm 1 1 -- --J f 'N-Z' 13 - W ' .1 ' AUDITORIUM CAFETERIA 10 S13 lima CAJPQJDJLNPUL 'Liza 1 CLOTHING - FQODS LABORATORY ' 11 TJHK-J-E CAURJDILNAIL 1 CHEMETRYLABORATORY PHYMCSLABORATORY 12 fix? ffl 'IVJHXUQJQ CAJQIDJLNAJL HOMER E.

Thedis Wente This is not the history of great people, it is not a chronicle relating the valorous eds of heroes, the illustrious achievements of patriots, or the eloquent orations statesmeng but rather it is a history of a high school class, a group who must look the future for their greatness. From a Freshman class of more than a hundred, fifty stalwarts remain, fifty who ve. braved the tempests and barriers, and enjoyed the pleasures and friendships, at are the results of high school training. But now those barriers have been surf unted, those pleasures remain as fond remembrances. Soon it will be theirs to assume the cares, duties, and responsibilities of life. on they must grasp the flaming torch of democracy cast to them by their faltering ogenitors. Be it theirs to hold it aloft, casting its brilliancy afar. Be it theirs to ry on the noble work thus far advanced, to even greater heights of glory. And it theirs to leave to posterity a legacy rich in manly accomplishments. May they be worthy. 18 KQFWV ll lalldljli CPXJRJDJL NAUL . V, f GEO.

We bid goodbye Each one at last With tearful sigh Set to his task To friends that we adore. Which takes us far from home. And may none fail Or none bewail His fortune that he finds, And may each say To close his day, I've good deeds left behind. -V.

S., the juniors of '26 have come within one year of the goal which they set for themselves as Freshmen. Their chief aim has always been to do their best in everything they attempted. This they have thus far done. In spite of being the smallest class in school, the Juniors are represented in all of the high school activities. The honor roll always contains a large number of Juniorsg the class is well represented in Forensis, in ath' letics, -commercial contests, and intellectual meets, in both oratorical and musical talent. .A great deal of talent was also displayed in The New Coed, a four act comedy, which was presented by the Juniors on March 19. And now as they begin the last stretch of their four year voyage, may they continue to live up to their standards and bring more honors to the school that has sheltered and protected them during the storms and tempests they have weathered while obtaining an education. 36 W JVJHUE CAURJDJLNAUL Q IX I , - O - X 4 . , X 1 X , .xllx xx X l 05 , X ' x T ' X F A V 5 if 1 4 i ' Q N v it 3 w 'M Gwggpff 1 lu X A- W IMI 4 'I K I I I l r fl!! ,ff X WVWWV mxxxm . --.L ss?

T. H. S. in the year of 1925 and '26, We entered the dear old high school of J. C. in the fall of 1924. We are aware of the fact that we were as green as any bunch of Freshies that ever trod the earth. But things soon began to run smoothly for us. We learned to get along without the advice of the upper classmen which oft times led us into serious trouble. We went through the first year very successfully and here we are in our Sophof more year, the fulfillment of our dreams as Freshmen. For it seems that every Fresh' man wishes to be a Sophomore, every Sophomore dreams of himself as a junior, and every Junior desires to become a Senior. The Sophomores attribute much of their success to their good judgment in se' lecting a capable group of class officers. As the old saying goes it never rains but it pours and so it is with our class. We have some of the best material in the school partaking in athletics. Some of our main stars are: Johnnie Williams, Darrel Pearce, Paul Matthews, Angelo Colombo and Vernie Clayton. Also quite a few of the Sophomore girls are on the girls' basket- ball team. 38 1 fa 'TJHUE CAXJRDIKNAXJL Sophomore Girls First Row-Lucille Mosley, Jessie Batts, Aline Richmond, Mr. Harold E.

Some of them are Doris Rentfro, Hellice Smith, George Bundren, Francis Alikonis and Violet Perf rine. This proves that we have brilliant minds in our class. Some of the students even tell the teachers things they never knew before, for example: A Mr. Strow to Geometry students: How many sides has a circle? Students: Two Mr. Strow: 'LOh, it has, has it? What are they? Student: Outside and inside. The Sophomores cannot be marked off the social list. The Sophomore and Freshman Hallowe'en party will always be remembered by those who attended as furnishing one of the best times they ever enjoyed. We have shown our talent from time to time in literary programs and other performances of the school. Some are in Forensis, others in the glee clubs and orchestra. We have shown our loyalty to the school by the fact that we have backed the team and other activities of the school in the best possible manner. With these bright prospects we look forward to a happy and successful year as jolly Juniors. 39 QW FIVJHXQE CAUQJUJLNAUL 40 fgnfg wrfmag- CAUQJUJLNAUL QM? N Cm?

Our class has been represented in practically every activity open to Freshmen. With future basketball stars like Eugene Maroni, and William Paliokaitis, and with such talented people as Louise Southall in our class, not to mention Helen Malinasky, our permanent honor student, as well as scores of others in the class, we feel that we shall certainly accomplish something. Now that our days as Mgreen Freshiesu are almost over, We are planning for next year a Sophof more class of which J. C. T. H. S. can be proud. And as We enter upon our career as Sophomores, we are hoping that those days will be as jolly as our Freshmen days were. 43 I SM 'JVJHUE CCAXJRIDILNIAXIL 254 M' IX 44 'IVJHUEA CAX1RlDDJENfklL QA 4 vb WV' W 3 fqr' x A - N silty Il I Q ' lv --I l li ' v 8111300 Ik' 'TJHUE CAXJRDJE NAUL r MIXED CHORUS Tones You can 'always hear tones around J. C. T. H. S. and still the day is not long enough for every one to get his tone in. There are music classes that recite after school because it is the only time available. There are over sixty girls doing Glee Club work, so you see this makes a big sweet tone. About fifty boys are taking Glee Club this year, and this is a much bigger tone. And the orchestra, listen! what a tone it makes every Tuesday and Thursday after school. But there is still a greater tone, not in size, but in quality. This tone is Miss Irene Field. The tones of J. C. T. H. S. have increased every year and we are now at the center of a sweet Crescendo. We have a few other tones that count for a little. These are our quartettes and soloists: Tones are thoughts, 'tis said, Tones are Words, I've read, Make your tones that flow today Ministering angels on their way. 46 'svn 'lldffll JE CAXJQIDII NAUL 'J ' .

Alonzo Squeezem, a wealthy banker of the small town, holds a mortgage on the circus. The owner, Toby Dunn, is unable to pay because of a disastrous season. Toby Dunn has previously become engaged to Sally Squeezem, the banker's only child. It so enrages the banker that he is going to foreclose the mortgage unless Sally gives up Toby. This she refuses to do. Maybelle jaybird, a fascinating young widow, much to her old maid sister's disgust, has set her cap for the banker. Inky Snow and Dinty Moore plan with Sally and Toby to abduct the banker and send him to Widow jaybird's house before he can foreclose the mortgage. The widow is delighted at the prospect of entertain' ing the banker and readily enters into the plan. In the dark a mistake is made, and Inky Snow is sent instead of the banker. When the banker goes to his home he finds the mortgage has been stolen. He suspects Sally, but when the widow suggests Inky, he has Inky arrested and sent to jail. At this point the mortgage is discovered in Willie jaybird's pocket, and through an unexpected turn of affairs, Sally and Toby are forgiven by the banker, Inky is freed from jail, and Widow jaybird captures her quarry, and all ends happily. 49 ,sg TJHUE Cwxitaloimfuc V. w u , w Mr. Bob Presented by Forensis Oct. 27, 1925 Cast of Characters Robert Brown ..................................,..............,............. .......

MISS CRUM, Advisor John Willianis The Forensis Society organized during the preceding term, swung into action soon after the beginning of school, and now as we look back over their record for the past year, we pronounce it a success. The club met regularly on alternate Wediiesday nights throughout the entire school year, interesting programs being given at each session. And then they had their parties-those parties which will never be forgotten. But their most notable achievement w th ' f h as e presentation o t e play, Mr. Bob. The play was a great success. Forensis serves as a training school for intellectual aspirants in oratory, extemporaneous speaking, dramatic and humorous readings, etc., where under the able tutelage of Miss Crum they are equipped to represent I. C. T. H. S. in rival intellectual meets. That Forensis has a future we are sure. 51 'TJHUE CCAXJIEDIINAXJL The Platonian Literary Society Arvel Smith ......,....v.. ..............

To woo her in a manner worthy of himself fand incidentally of herj he stole his father's evening clothes. When his wooings became a nuisance to the neighbor' hood, his mother stole them back, and had them altered to fit the middlefaged form of her husband, thereby keeping William at home in the evening. But when it came to the BabyfTalk Lady's goodfbye dance, not to be present was unendurable. How William Sylvanus again got the dress suit, and how as he was wearing it at the party the negro servant, Genesis, disclosed the fact that the proud garment was in reality his father's, are some of the elements in this charm' ing comedy of youth. 54 TVJHXQE CAXJQlDllNAtlL The New Cofed .

Synopsis: Letty Willis, the heroine, is a bright, pretty girl, an orphan, reared. by her grandparents-simple country people of limited means, they have sacrificed and skimped to give Letty the education she craves, and finally her dream of entering college is about to be realized. Before the arrival of Letty, Estelle Doolittle, a rich, haughty, spoiled beauty, has enjoyed the attentions of Richard Bradley, the son of a rich family, and the star athlete of the college. He turns very decidedly from Estelle to Letty. Estelle is greatly displeased, much to the pleasure of other girls alert to the situation. Estelle determines upon a trick which will bring discredit upon Letty. She ac' cuses her of having a ring belonging to Dick which has disappeared. Letty, under a cloud, feels the situation keenly and turns a cold shoulder to Dick, but he remains her champion and clears her of all suspicion. Estelle is compelled to admit that she took the ring for the purpose of bringing discredit on Letty in the eyes of Dick and the class. Letty then answers L'yes to the all important questions which Dick has asked. , ' 55 'TJHUE CCAXJRTDTNAJL Yrs- V seek just Out of College Comedy by George Ade Presented by the Seniors of '26 MAY 21 CAST OF CHARACTERS Edward Worthington Swinger, just out of college .,.,.....,..........

For this he has only a collossal nerve. Edward Worthington Swing' er, the alumnus, is in love with Carolyn Pickering, daughter of The Pickle King. Pickering is a business man, who has no patience with college youths, and when Swinger applies for Carolyn's hand the father rejects the proposition. Swinger's assurance, however, compels the older man's admiration, and that, together with the fact that he truly loves his daughter and wants her to be happy, makes him give Swinger a chance. Mrs. Pickering has chosen a husband for her daughter-Prof. Bliss, an hypocritical apostle of repose. Swinger cheekily asks his desired father' inflaw to loan him 3S20,000, and the latter, astonished at the nerve of the request, and to give Swinger a chance to prove his mettle, makes the loan, stipulating that Swinger is not to communicate with Carolyn for two monthsg if at the end of that period, Swinger has proved his ability to earn a living for himself and Carolyn, the father promises his sanction. Carolyn is not to know of the loan, either. Swinger agrees and starts a rival pickle factory, putting it in charge of Nellie Jones. The Bingo pickles are placed on the market and soon rival Pickering's brand. Vsfhen the rivalry gets too hot for him, he offers to buy it out. The terms are under conf sideration when a frank friend of Carolyn's who has learned the secret, tells Pick' ering that it is his own 320,000 that is fighting him. There is an explosion, figuraf tively speaking, and numerous complications arise, but eventually, of course, there is a happy ending for everyone. 56 .M TH IE ccimaioiimmc sig, DEBATING TEAM AFFIRMATIVE TEAM NEGATIVE TEAM.

Urban Each year there is added some new activity to that ever increasing list sponsored by our school. Gf several that gained a foothold during the past term, the most important, perhaps, was debate. When it was known that we were to participate in debate, Mr. Urban was chosen as coach, and after a. tryfout in which several students took part the above teams were selected. There followed a period of very earnest preparatory work, in which Mr. Urban showed himself to be a very competent coach. The ordeal came on March 2. Our negative team debated Marion at Marion, while the affirmatives were hosts to the Herrin Team. Both teams were defeated, but even in defeat we think they are deserving of much credit. They worked, they initiated a great thing for their school, and above all else they did their best. Who can do more? And now, as debate has become an established activity in our school, we feel sure that future teams will show the supremacy of Johnston High. 57 'VTJHKQE CAXlQlDllNAUL N554 Society U JUN IOR-SENIOR BANQUET Toast Master .... .,...............,.......,.......................................... .........

The Future FORENSIS Chicken Fry The last of September Forensis gave a chicken fry indoors. This had been planned for an outdoor affair, but because of the rain it was held in the cafeteria at the high school. The menu was: fried chicken, potato salad, pickles, celery, olives, and watermelon. After the fry all went to the gymnasium and played games. All had a very good time and declared themselves in favor of another l'feed soon. FORENSIS Feed On November the twelfth, Forensis voted for another feed Everyone had such a good time that they are now anxious to try it again. FRESHMANSOPHOMORE HALLOWEEN PARTY On October the tvventyffifth the funny Freshmen and the funnier Sophomores had the funniest party! They all dressed in weird costumes and wended their way up Jefferson Avenue to the high school. They assembled in the gym and gazed upon a very startling scene. Now who could that ghost be? Surely not a Freshman! It is much too dignified. My goodness! Look at that queer looking object! No sophomore would dress like that! What of their dignity? After each one had guessed who was who, they were served with pumpkin pie, popcorn, apples, and punch. They played games and had very much fun. In due time they bade each other goodnight, for Freshmen are still young, and turned on their homeward way, tired but happy and contented. JUNIORSENIOR HALLOWEEN PARTY On the thirtyffirst of October it IS customary for the Juniors and Seniors of Johnston City High School to assemble in the gym for a Halloween party. Of course, we did not fail this year. Far be it from us to break the tried and worthy customs of our respected school. We donned our weird costumes and fared forth into the jolly throng. We found tramps, witches, clowns, dancers, ghosts, and even a skeleton. Our committees had planned well for our entertainment and everyone had a delightful time, and thanks to the Refreshment Committee, plenty to eat. The decorations were very attractive and aroused favorable comment. When all were tired, and many sleepy, we took our weary way homeward, congratulating ourselves on spending a very happy evening. 58 ilrlfdxlglg- CAUQlDll NPUL STUDENT COUNCIL Thomas Newton ....... ........, P resident Muriel Newton .,.,........................ ......,..,........................,.... S ecretary Clayton Miles Edith Hoover Rena Rakerd Bert Bundren There are some things essential to education that cannot be gained from books. A teacher can teach his pupils the value of initiative, the virtue of honesty, and the responsibility of honor, but he cannot compel them to act in accordance with his teachings. With this thought in mind and in accordance with the practice of the best high schools in the state, our high school, led by Principal Reynolds, initiated and encouraged the organization of the Student Council. The purpose of this is to promote the school spirit, provide a clearing house for student plans, ideas and sentif ments, give the student a larger representative voice in the affairs of the school, and provide responsible organization through which students and faculty may be brought together in mutual, helpful cooperation. The members of the council, six in number, are chosen irrespective of classification. Mr. Reynolds assumed the position of faculty advisor, but he has no vote. This'Council has projected a number of plans for the good of the school and bids fair to be an ever increasing factor in the life of the students and the school. 59 WVMIJQ CPXJRIDIINAXTL fn w A I' 'Q-.YQP .- .

This year Seniors have filled all positions on the staff except those of underclass editors. All the Seniors have received some training in salesmanship, as they canvassed schoolmates, alumni, and friends to sell enough copies to make the Cardinal a fi- nancial possibility. The splendid cofoperation of the business men who advertise in the Cardinal paves the way to a more cordial relationship between graduates and home industries. 61 ,sg ariaxg, Cfuaioitmaut Q44 To Bob Or Not To Bob To bob, or not to bob: that is the question: Whether 'tis better in the mind to have The long and curly hair that is now yours, Or to take shears against the lovely mass, And by cutting, end it? To fix: to primp: No more, and by the cutting to say you end The thousand occasions when you must arrange it That you are heir to? 'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To cut, quite shortg To cutg perchance to shingle: ay, there's the rub, For with that shingle what looks may come, When you have cut off all that hair, Must give you pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of bobbing itg For who could bear the taunts and jeers of others. The sympathy of your pals, the proud girl's haughty g When you yourself might your quietus make Merely by not bobbing? Who would not bob And change the whole appearance for the better If she knew it would improve the looks, But that the dread of being nsorry when It is too lat'e : puzzles the will And makes you rather have your hair as 'tis Than by bobbing it, perhaps to ruin it. Thus do wieldcrs of shears make cowards of you, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sickled over with the pale cast of thought, And your determination to really bob it, With this regard is finally turned awry, And loses the name of action. 62 aze, M.

Albion, the team from up state, were our opponents and first victims. Albion outclassed and outplayed by the Dare Devils were the victims of a 33 to O score. J. C. 6 Anna O Anna was the next foe to invade Patton Field. Johnston City, having played to a scoreless tie with Anna the previous year, was ready for revenge. In a game featured with mud and excellent playing of Capt. Newton and Philips, Anna went down to defeat. J. C. 15 Benton 19 The following Saturday the Dare Devils traveled to Benton to play the Red Rangers. In a game featured by excellent playing of both teams, J. C. met defeat. This was our first conference defeat in two years. J. C. 6 W. Frankfort 13 Again the 'LDare Devils went down to defeat in foreign territory at the hands of West Frankfort. The game was won by our opponents in the last seconds of play when a blocked punt enabled them to score the winning margin. The feature of this game was the drop kicking of Fullfback Miles. J. C. 25 H. Bush 0 Playing in mud ankle deep and a steady downpour of rain, Johnston City trounced the heavy HurstfBush team 25 to O. The game was featured by the work of the Johnston City line in stopping the heavy HurstfBush team. Although out' weighed but not outfought, the light J. C. team showed that they still held the spirit of loyalty. 65 'rfnni-3 Cfmaioimauc A J. C. 14 Marion 0 The team from the county seat came to Johnston City for our next game. Johnston City defeated them for the third straight time by a score of 1.4 to O. In this game the playing of Philips was outstanding. J. C. 6 Cairo O This was the most important game of the year. Johnston City had several regulars out of the linefup with second string subs filling their places. Although we were able to defeat them only by a lone touchdown, it showed that the fighting spirit of our team was still there. The future of this game was the spirit with which those regulars with subs assisting them went into the game. J. C. O Herrin 7 Johnston City lost to Herrin in their homecoming game 7 to 0. Although Herrin defeated us, Coach Palmer of Herrin acknowledged that Johnston City outplayed Herrin. Herrin was able to make only one first down while Johnston City made several. The feature of the game was the kicking of Miles on a muddy field. J. C. 19 Eldorado 38 Eldorado, the high school accredited with having had the best team in Southern Illinois for the past years, defeated us 38 to 19. Johnston City gathered nineteen points before Eldorado! scored, but injuries forced several of the team to the side lines, and then the heavy Eldorado team began running up the score. The feature of this game was the work of Newton in the line and Pearce at end. J. C. 18 Carterville 12 Johnston City defeated Carterville in their homecoming game 18 to 12. This proved to be one of the best games of our schedule. The outstanding player for Johnston City was Louie Moroni. Playing at halffback, he made several long gains around end and scored the winning touchdown in the closing minutes of play with a forty yard run. J. C. 14 Metropolis O Metropolis was our foe on Thanksgiving Day. We celebrated the day by hand' ing them a 14 to O walloping. This was the last game in which several of our boys were eligible to play, so it was called the Senior Game. Miles and Moroni scored the touchdown for Johnston City. 66 ss? wang, CCAXJWDJINAXIL 45,9 Homecoming Our second annual homecoming was celebrated Nov. 7 when we met Herrin on the gridiron. The preparation for this gala day began weeks in advance and never before was more hearty cofoperation shown between the student body and the faculty. Committees composed of teachers and pupils, wholeheartedly did the tasks set before them. Homecoming buttons advertising the game were sold. The demand for them was enormous. We think we are safe in saying that every teacher and pupil wore one, and extra orders were put in to accommodate the town people. The classes individually constructed beautiful floats. The day of days arrived at last, but, oh, what. a day! A drizzling rain fell continuously, the gridiron was a sea of mud and water, and to add to our gloom, we lost. But the homecoming was not a failureg the weeks of preparation were not in vain, for it had been evidenced that there was unquestionable loyalty in our school. 67 BASKETBALL SQUAD Y, Y' :- .1 N9 X :TL E Z' 'W A Hz P3 Q Z Z I-' crime CAXJRDIINAXIL Basketball IQ. M. PATTON L'Coach This is Pat's second year as director of 'LRed and Black athletics. His record with us is far above par. In his first year he turned out an undefeated football team that tied for the championship of Southern Illinois. He has received his train' ing under such notables as Zuppke, Dobie, Rochne, and Meanwell. If you've ever seen Patton put his teams through their practice, you know why his record is good. CAPTAIN THOS. NEWTON Floor Guard A veteran of four years' experience, Horse immediately clinched a position on this year's L'Dare Devil quintet. With his characteristic aggressiveness, he entered into every contest with grim determination to give a good account of himself. He did, Being a large muscular lad, Capt. Newton was immune from punishment him' self, but he always made life miserable for the opposition. A fair shot, his tallies came often and opportunely. Horse, indeed, leaves behind him an enviable record. CLAYTON MILES Forward As a sensational shot specialist Doe is unexcelled. His unusual demonstrations during the past three seasons unquestionably verify this assertion. He has an intif mate knowledge of the technique of the most popular of winter sports. His grace, his harmony of motion, and his accurate shooting have gained for him a section wide reputation. KENNETH JOBE Center - Nasty's uncanny ability to cage baskets from all angles marked him as the mainstay of our offense. Time and time again his remarkable tosses stirred the audi' ences. Jobie also starred on the defenseg but first and foremost he will be rememf bered for his fighting ability. i LOREN MATHIS Forward Coming from Karnak High School, Loren proved his ability as a basketeer by gaining a regular berth on our basketball team. A His excellent shooting, his coolness under fire, and his speedy floor work made him an important cog in the team's success and won for him a worthy place in the esteem of Johnston City fans. CHARLES ALIKONIS 1 Back Guard This massive, blonde giant by his ferocious onslaught struck terror in the ranks of opposing teams. He tore 'em up. Whitey was never caught napping. Where the battle waged hottest, there Coney was found. Steadfastly at his post, he never relinquished his constant vigil o'er the basket of the opponent of the Red and Black. RALEIGH PHILLIPS Guard . Farmer is another player of four years' experience. He is strong, fast and a fair shot. Raleigh could always be depended on, and his endurance was remarkable. With clockwork regularity, he performed his task and never were any criticisms made. WALTER HIGGERSON L'Forward When our score was low, when we needed a basket most, that's when Bus sunk 'em. And Oh! boy, what beautiful shots. Walter has another year left and should be a genuine star next season. ' '69 gg Tfnug CPXJRJDJLNAXIL Q9 BASKETBALL-Continued ' DARREL PEARCE Center As a real, honestftofgoodness fighter Dap is a first rater. He's sure some scrapper. Vtfhen it was his lot to cover a man, he covered him completely. Although only a Sophomore, he saw action in nearly all the games, and should capture a regular berth next year. JOHNNIE WILLIAMS 'lForward Although this is but his second year, John has all the earrnarks of a budding young star. He is fast, is a good shot, and is very consistent in his play. ANGELO COLOMBO Guard . Angelo won his basketball spurs in this his first year at Johnston High. His guarding is of the ferocious type.. When a man gets by him, he can consider himself pretty good. His services were somewhat limited this year, but he will give someone keen competition next season. VERNIE CLAYTON Guard If you've ever seen Vernie in action, you can appreciate his ability as player. A good guard, a good floor man, and he shoots almost to perfection. The probabilf ity of his holding down a regular position next year is indeed bright. DISTRICT TOURNEY It fell to our lot to be in the West Frankfort District Tournament. Our first opponents were Zeigler whom we defeated 26-12. Our hopes of championship were bright, but in our next encounter they were blighted when West Frankfort whom we had twice defeated during the season sprang a surprise to the tune of 2Of17. Thus ended a successful season. . . J. C. 20 Enfield 14 J. C. 19 Norris City 10 The Dare Devils got off to a good start by defeating the White County quintets in a doubleheader. J.

Sometimes old Sol beamed through the west windows with the heat of a fiery furnace, but the girls, nevertheless, continued their practice for pure enjoyment of that particular form of physical exercise. After a few weeks practice under the customary Girls' Rules, they voted to discard them for Boys' Rules, which are more speedy and interesting. Practice proved more sat' isfactory under the new miles and although they did not learn all the little intricacies of the game, they broadened their knowledge of the chief fundamentals required to play a good, clean game. Everyone knows that practice makes perfect, so the girls are destined to unde1'go all the new experiences which tend to increase one's understanding of anything worth while. When they have sufficient experience, they hope to become a team that will make J. C. T. H. S. wonder what has happened to Girls' Rules. The twentyfthird of March, the Eighth Grade' girls played a valiant game against the Red and Black. They put up a brave fight but the offensive of the Red and Black stifled them. The final score when the last whistle blew was 21 to 1. As the byflaws of the Illinois Athletic Association prohibit the playing of girls' teams with teams from other towns, our girls' team will find it interesting to prof mote games between the eighth grades and themselves in the future. The Freshmen as a general rule are a little green concerning the game, but we have been cited other' wise concerning the incoming Freshmen of 'Z6. The girls greatly appreciate the untiring efforts of their faithful coach, Miss Dorothy Newkirk. fcontinued from page '70, J. C. 53 Anna 6 This was an easy one. J.

GENERAL MERCHANDISE WALL PAPER FRESH AND SMOKED MEATS Jokes Diary By IMA CAT Got up about 6:30 A. M. after a good night's rest. Immediately rushed down to the cooking room where I ate an excellent meal consisting of three mice, fwho were eating a cakej. Finished the cake, and drank some milk. I then strolled up- stairs and entered a room filled with bugs, snakes, grasshoppers, birds, and a lot of other things. Was having a lovely time chasing them around and was enjoying myself immensely when I was suddenly caught up gently but firmly by a spectacled man and deposited outside in the hall. Thinking that I wasn't wanted there I entered a room where I was nearly scared to death by a man yelling 'Blahl Blahl' Left im' mediately and ran downstairs and entered a room where a great, big, tall, serious' looking young man was talking. I liked to hear him talk so well that I fell asleep. When I awoke, no one was in the room. Feeling hungry, I ate some pie that I found in the waste basket. In the meantime it seemed to me that I heard some cats meowing below me, so I glided downstairs and entered a room filled with sawdust and with a great big machine meowing with a lotta noise. This didn't suit me so I trotted back upstairs into a room of about ten boys and eight girls and a little, little girl talking to them. It seemed so nice there that I stayed and listened to them talk until they all left. Then I began to feel hungry and sleepy so I went down to the cooking room and found an excellent supper on one of the tables. Then I crawled into a desk of papers and fell asleep. The day before the final Semester English exam., Helen Wooteii rushed up to Miss Winget's room and wanted to know what her final grade was-Nervel? Mr. Aldrich: Ruel, what's sweeter than sugar? Ruel Schmidt: Now, don't get personal. Miss Crum: Did you copy that theme' from the paper? Isadore: MNO, just the words. 92 TVJHX IE CPXIRIDJI NPUL - 1 mb, rf u EVERYTHING TO BUILD We strive to build the entire community, as we build our business.

He was her sweet patootsie- She was his turtle dove. He asked her to become his wife. Ask father, dear, she said. Tim's courage almost failed him, And he wished that he were dead. Now Tim really loved Honora, And wished her for his wife, But he couldn't speak to papa To save his blessed life! Then said Tim unto Honora, fHer father was a coplj It's easier to pop the question, Than it is to question pop. Tim spoke the words so softly- He was scared stiff there's no doubt, He told Honora gently, that He feared he'd be thrown out. Oh shure now, he won't hurt you, a Said Honora to Tim, Just step into the parlor And put it up to him. Poor Tim began to clear his throat, And wildly rolled his eyes. His knees began to shake with fear, And his heart began to rise. Honora's pa had finished supper And by the fireside sat, A-pullin' on his old clay pipe And croonin' to the cat. Tim softly slipped into the room. He cleared his throat once more. Then stammered out his heart's desire And edged closer to the door. This precaution was well taken, 'Cause Honora's pa got sore, He grabbed Tim by the collar And kicked him out the door. Tim picked himself up from the curb, And beat a quick retreat. Now he is courting Kathaleen, Who lives across the street. The moral of this little song- I sing with gladsome grace. If you do not succeed at first Then try some other place. R.

Works, Cemetery Road Phone 443- A PROBLEM How to stay away from school successfully for at least one day: Solution: Primarily, think up a very good excuse, such -as an uncle dying in Europe and you having to attend his funeral, or you had a very bad cold Qbe sure your voice is hoarse the next day, or it won't workj, or maybe your mother went to town and you had to tend to the baby, or some other equally good excuse. Then gather all of your good points and prepare yourself for a very strenuous debate the following day. Be sure that you deliver your debate in a straight forward, and forcif ble manner, or he will catch you off your guard by saying suddenly, How many rabbits did you kill? Or Were the fish biting well? or by some other idiotic interrogation. In case he does this, don't bluster, but smile as if you enjoyed the joke. Then if he thinks your reasons deserve recognition he will give you a slip of paper, which you are to fill out. Then he will scribble an affirmative on a dotted line on the paper. After this is done be sure to walk out of the office-don't run- or he will suspect something. Then after you have obtained the signature of your teachers you can breathe a sigh of relief and prepare yourself for about five days of makefup work.
