And have read me through and through, I fervently wish and reverently hope You'll not quickly bid me adieu: But as you sail down the River of Life Paddling your own canoe, You'll permit me to bring and laudingly sing These school day memories to you. Thus, We, the Senior Class, express our desire that this book will truly picture your activities of this year and consequently mean much to you. Just as the romantic Indian lives only in stories, so will the deeds of this year live again in these pages. 1 DEDICATION We, the Senior Class of Empire Township High School, dedicate this edition of The Melting Pot to Superintendent Charles E. Joiner. Mr. Joiner assumed the duties of his present oflice at the same time this class started on its journey of education. Our progress reflects his influence. Thus we endeavor to express our appreciation of his noble efforts.

Lillie Sartain Lucille Godsell Witnesses: Mr. Ralph E. Bailey Della Dee Bishop Herbert Lane --o SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Perrie Island, Mars, August 8, 1940. Mr. Lamar Myers. Dear Bud: We have just Hnished our tour of Mars. We were very sorry that you were not able to go with us, but we are going to take you on an imaginary trip with us. We took our rocket ship from Mount Rainier, February 2, 1940, and arrived the 10th day of February. It was a very pleasant journey we all agree. Our pilot landed our ship at Peik's Bay City airport, where to our surprise, we met Earl Carr who was master mechanic of the airport. Leaving the airport and going into the city, we came across Ronald Garee, athletic coach at Peik's Bay University, and learned that Jick Forbes had set a new record in the mile by running it in three seconds flat. On continuing our conversation we found that Doc Iden had opened an undertaking parlor in the city last spring and he had employed Mildred Morgan as his stenographer. He is doing a flourishing business. Wallace Wesley is teaching History in the high school. We were amazed to learn that Miniature Golf is one of the special courses offered. Helen Brining is the instruc- tor. Coach Garee also told us that Robert Washburn entered the University last fall and is taking an oratorical course. Virgil Keuhling is finishing his two-year course in topography. As it was time for our bus, we had to bid Coach Garee adieu. We left for the city of Kanta-Seika to spend the evening in the Markatonius Theatre. There was a very special three-act play which had been running in Kanta-Seika for three weeks. 26 Il? The 10lTi113,'Pn'f,3' I I .. ,J M f-.f- ,.. 29,1 The name of it was Klamacius featuring the star, William McBride, with Dorothea Reynolds as the leading lady. After the first act, Thelma Wilson, the noted toe dancer, entertained us with some of her professional dancing steps. Vera Humphrey, the great Prima Donna sang a very appropriate number, accompanied by Marjorie Cline, the famous pianist of Mars. After the show our bus took us to our hotel. We retired for the night. Although it remains daylight the year round, we found that it was not at all difficult to sleep as we were all so exhausted. While we were having breakfast the next morning, we heard a program over the radio from Venus. Ike Killion was the announcer. We were especially interested in this program, because three of our old classmates were broadcasting. Glenn Golden, a non-Euclidian Geometrist, gave a talk on some of his latest theories. We then heard Emily Skinner give some famous translations of foreign languages. The last but not the least of importance was a talk by John Pendleton. He gave some points from his experiments on the fourth and fifth dimensions. After breakfast we went to visit one of the largest hospitals in Mars. The head surgeon was Doctor Godsell who has been very successful in finding a cure for leprosy. While talking to her we learned that Rachel Patterson and Margaret McBride were head nurses at the hospital. Winifred Banner is the dietitian. We remained here only a few minutes and then took our bus for Kyto. When we arrived at Kyto, we went to lunch, After lunch we bought a newspaper edited by Novella McKenny. There was an article in the paper written by Lillie Sartain, a well known author. She had contributed some new ideas for the short story. We also saw that Theresa Arvin was planning a trip abroad after she returned from her tour of Mars. Vivian VVa1ton has anew painting called, A Scene in Mars, which is valued at a million dollars. Taking our bus for our Rocket airport, we stopped at a Country Club which is a pleasure resort for the wealthier class and noted for its great entertainers of world wide fame. Pauline Whitesell was giving an exhibition in fancy diving and swimming. After witnessing this entertainment we continued our journey and arrived at our present destination. We are to remain here about twenty-four hours and then we are to return to Earth. We hope you have enjoyed this imaginary trip as much as we have enjoyed the real one. Hoping to hear from you soon, we are, Your former classmates, Francis Ayton Gordon Trotter Elba Clear 27 i Mrk M.maf.gP.1'sv I ,., l 4 ,-ff, Ali SENIOR'S FAREWELL Our school days have taught us to dare to dog To see the difficult things in life clear through: To dig down to the depths, to climb the rugged steps of life: To conquer sorrow and quell all strifeg So we go out these spacious halls Better prepared to meet 1ife's calls. We have that feeling of heart's content, A secret pride on reaching that for which we've bent The simple truth and honest thought The masters of this school have taughtg We love them and our dear old high And thoughts of leaving make us sigh. Lightly that warm touch comes to rest In our hearts with knowing that we've done our best When we think of the honor and the fame, That we've added to our high school's name We're ready to start life that we may give The best that's in us, while we live. It's here we've sought and gained a friend, And it's now that our happiest days must end. With tears and a heavy heart, We grieve, but We must part To travel o'er life's hills and dells So now we bid you our fond farewells. -By William McBride, '31. 28 214 The Me'l1'in3'Pn'l' 'Sl I 4 ' 'J zu A fs r- jf, VJ JUNIOR CLASS I l - t --I Back Row--iLeft to rightl C.

When a chance for making money shows itself, Olivia coaxes her brothers and sister to grasp it. Con- sequently Burton Crane, a northerner, rents the house under the condition that his servants are white. There are no white servants available, so the Dangerfield children rally to the situation and disguise as servants. The kitchen becarnes the center of interest and the northerner falls in love with the cook. The plot unravels and the hero wins the heroine. Irish brogue and the humor of the play made it enjoyable. 40 If? Tl-ne M0lTin'S-Pu1',3l I s. ,J M ff' ,1 if ,I SENIOR PLAY KEMPY lo?

Her interests lie mainly in music, art, the stage, and litera- ture, though she merely dabbles at each. She has written one novel which fell far short of being good. Kempy, a young plumber-architect has read her book and vows to marry its author. In a fit of pique the highfalutin' Kate weds Kempy for he happens to catch her heart on the rebound after she's quarreled with her true lover, Duke Merrill. The unhappy marriage is annulled and Duke wins the would-be authoress.

This great truth was beautifully exemplified by the High School and Grade Schools at Thanksgiving time. Every room in the grades and each class in the High School was asked to bring enough food to school to fill a basket which might be sent to some needy family that such family might enjoy a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner. The response was so hearty and generous that it was somewhat difficult to find enough needy families to whom to send all the baskets. It was estimated that not less than S75 worth of eatables were distributed. The Relief Corps distributed the baskets. I have never seen happier and more interested children as each brought something even if no more than a potato or two. I can only imagine how happy were those who received the baskets but certainly no more so than those who gave them. We hope this is but the beginning and that it will become a beautiful annual custom. -C. E. Joiner, Supt. 44 MTB.: MeH'a113,'R,i 3l I 4 ' AJ .Z'nfQ 'Y 71' ,I SOCIETY MR. JOINER ENTERTAINS The Time: Wednesday. The Place: West Park. The Host and Hostess: Superintendent and Mrs. Joiner. The Guests: Faculties and Janitors fexcept Mr. Swartz who couldn't comeb. The Food: Delicious and Bountiful. Q When Mr. Joiner invited part of the faculty to a dinner, others to a picnic, and still others to a Wiener roast-they scarcely knew what to expect, but it developed that Mr. Joiner was right. It was a picnic of a wiener roast-dinner. No one believed Miss Carter when she said she had ,taken a running jump, grabbed the top of a tree, and broken it down so that all could have nice sticks-but the tree was there as evidence. The plentiful supply was all that saved one of the Janitors when he cut up Miss Iseminger's stick to use for a prop by the fire, but Mr. Taylor didn't get another when his stick burnt in twog he merely collected the wieners from the ashes and declared them delicious. The social training of the entire group was put to a severe test while they sat looking hungrily at the food ffor what seemed hoursj awaiting the arrival of Mr. McKean from football practice. After eating heartily of the many sandwiches made up of the wieners fwhich Mr. Taylor said should have been put on pasture a couple of weeks longerj, pickles, catsup, mustard and onions, those who were still able played follow the leaders around and about all the cars in order to better enjoy the excellent ice cream, delicious sugar cookies, and the best of coffee. Following the food, plans were discussed for the formation of a Western Club, but the talk soon degenerated into the bears we saw and Mr. McKean's story was perhaps the biggest. iA1verta Carter. MO... SENIOR WIENER ROAST On September 22, the E. T. H. S. Special came puffing into the station of E. T. H. S. and the passengers climbed joyously into their different cars. With but little trouble the train was soon on its way. It was a special excursion to West Park for the annual Senior roast. The train was soon there and when Fireman Forbes blew the whistle everyone climbed off. They were greeted by a blazing fire which had been built by boys who had come on an earlier excursion. Soon all were eating heartily of the wieners, buns, mustard, pickles, and marshmallows. Pop was provided as a beverage for the evening was rather warm. After all were satisfied they seated themselves around the dying fire and recalled interesting events of the past years at E. T. H. S. During this time, also, music was furnished on the jew's harp by Gordon Trotter. About nine o'clock the passengers and their guests, Miss Horn, Miss Iseminger and Miss Smith, feeling tired but happy, boarded the train once more and pulled out for home. -Dorothea Reynolds, '31, 45 116 The Me'l1'i1a3,'PoT '3l I 4 z 'lif- .f-J' ,.. ix, ,I JUNIOR WIENER ROAST On Monday evening, September 22, a jolly bunch of Juniors enjoyed a wiener and marshmallow roast in the woods near Smith's Cabin. All went well until someone wished a every one had forgotten that water was carload of willing Juniors went in search who remained, chatted, gathered fuel, and drink of water, then it was discovered almost as important as wieners, so a of some. While they were gone, those hunted for pronged sticks. Mr. Taylor and some of the boys acting as firemen soon had a roaring fire started. This of course made us hungry for sizzling wieners, and soon we saw the water-haulers returning. After all had assembled, it was not long until everyone was roasting his own and eating pickles. Then someone called for a drink, but no cup could be found. We scon remedied this, however, by using an empty pickle jar, which, though slightly oversized, served the purpose fairly well. Mr. Taylor. Mr. McKean, Miss Carter, Miss Noble and Miss Ellison helped to make our Wiener party a success. About 7:30 we all departed with just another happy school event to remember. -Rose Bishop, '32. MOM THE SOPHOMORE WIENER ROAST I saw groups of Sophomores standing in front of the High School, Monday evening, September the twenty-second. I did not know what was going on, and since I am of an inquisitive nature, I asked what it was all about. VVhy, haven't you heard! exclaimed some one. The Sophomores are having a big wiener roast tonight at Fisher Lane. Ballard, Dick, Raymond, and Paul have already gone to make the fire. But best of all, they've taken the eats so we'll be sure to have themf' Here are Roger, Miss Carter, Miss Noble, and Ernest with cars! Let's load up! yelled some one. At this, all new helter-skelter to the cars-I was left standing- alone. But not very long, for a few who had not arrived in time to go with the first group were now appearing. I explained that the rest had gone on. They were very disappointed, thinking they wouldn't get to go, when Mr. Bailey came along, shouted, Jump in, and they jumped. This all happened between five-thirty and six o'clock. About eight o'clock I saw them coming back. I asked about their good time and every one started talking at once. I learned from the chatter that every one had had a swell-l-l time and had eaten to his hearts content. Everyone must have been happy for even the teachers had joined the group singing which followed the feast. Hearing all of this took me back to the good times I had had in my High School days, and I walked meditatively away. -Millie Oneal and Frances Lowe, '33. 46 MTM Me11':w3T'.i 3I I 4 Z T I4-F f-JN ,.. ix, .1 THE FRESHMAN WIENER ROAST Wow! Say, what's the big idea anyway, Elsie Martin ? exclaimed one of the Freshmen while enroute to the Freshman wiener roast at West Park, October the first. If you think that all of this bumping around will dull my appetite for those wieners and marshmallows, you are badly mistaken, because it will only do just the opposite, she continued. Yes, she thought if we weren't hungry she chimed in another Freshman. We arrived in good condition in spite of the games to keep us occupied until the football boys In the middle of one of the games, voices Miss Smith! would get to eat our share also, bumpy roads, and started playing should arrive. were heard calling, Miss Smith, Miss Smith ran toward the place from which the voices had been heard. Presently she returned with Rhea Patterson, Pauline Hitchell, Mildred Gulley, and another Hy insect known as the dragon fly. The football boys of the Freshmen class and Mr. McKean came out later and enjoyed the feast with the rest of us. A short while later a Freshmangirl was heard to lament, The buns are all gone and I've only had two sandwiches while I was supposed to have four. Well, retorted another Freshman girl, I told you in the first place that you would have to eat faster if you wanted those four sandwiches. Our teachers decided to be conventional and send us homeward before nine o'clock, so we disbanded, and the many cars respective destinations. YO, wended their ways toward their -Wilma Strain, '34. THE SOPHOMORE-FRESHMAN HOBO PARTY We decided to have a party for the Freshmen on Tuesday evening, September 23, at 7:30 o'clock, in order that they might become better acquainted. I suppose the reason so many hoboes were there was due to the driving rain outside. It looked as if they had come from everywhere. There were fat men, old women, negroes, tattered husbands and alls, and some almost out of them. After the parade was ended, a corn such a hub-bub of quacks, me-ows and leader who was the only one permitted wives, bums in gunny sacks, others in over- hunting game was played. One never heard bow-wows as each called for his respective to pick up the corn. Other games, contests, and races were held. Later in the evening refreshments were served. About ten o'clock all left feeling much better acquainted. M01 -Jessie Brittin, '33. HALLOWEEN FROLIC It was the night when ghosts and goblins wander through the land that a gathering of clowns, hoboes, gypsies, and many other masked celebrities of the High 47 f ,WTI-ae Melfi-rv3'E.'l 3l I 4 ' H Q45 4 ff- ,. M, ,. School met for a Halloween frolic in the gym, which was decorated with corn stalks and jack-o-lanterns. After vain attemps to recognize our friends, the masks were taken off, amid exclamations of, Why, I didn't know that was you! Everyone was ready to be conducted to the House of Horrors where the remains of John Brown were passed around much to the consternation of several girls. The Crazy House proved to be even more terrifying since snakes, turtles, shower baths, and electric shocks played an important part. We returned from these hair-raising places to the calmer pursuit of dancing. After the doughnuts and cider were served, there was more dancing. Good times must all end, however, so iinally we started homeward hoping that we wouldn't meet a witch or any other Halloween spirit on the way. -Lillie Sartain, '31. -Om JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET On Thursday evening, May 14, the Seniors, faculty, the Board of Education and their wives were the guests of the Junior Class in the High School Gymnasium.

They treat the underclassmen as their inferiors. This makes the students of the Freshman class somewhat unhappy. They feel they are not welcome when they come into the school. We should be especially kind to the Freshmen, as well as to the others. Once I overheard a Freshman who was going to his first class, but had not been able to locate his room. Holy Macaroni! he exclaimed to his friend who was in the same predicament. 'tIf we don't find that Algebra room pretty soon, it will be time to start looking for the English room. Yah, and a fat chance hailing one of those upper classmen to ask Where the room is. They fly past so fast I don't think they even see us, said the other. Freshmen seem to live for the Not Forever. As I go down the corridor I pass other classmen, but they are quite familiar with the location and customs of the school, and thus they have cause to chat happily of current events. Being a student of Art, I find it very interesting to study facial expressions of the students. It is during the high school period that We find the students very sensitive to the knocks of life. If something goes wrong, we know it. There is either a look of hurt or anger on the student's face, and he holds malice toward the one who caused it. Students in general have one petty fault. They are ungrateful. If, for instance, they get a low grade, they fret for days after and say, Oh well, I can't expect a better grade from that teacher, she has a grudge against me anyhow. This tends to make the student lose interest in the subject which is taught by the teacher, While if he were optimistic about the affair and would say, WheWfit won't do for that to happen again. The only thing to do is to Work harder -he would get along much better. Many students fail to remember that every one is human. When a student goes before a class to give a speech, he often gets confused and doesn't speak well. In most cases he is wondering what his listeners think of him. He imagines that they are forming opinions of the quality of his clothing, the neatness of his appearance, and so forth, while this is not happening at all, for in the end the only thing concerning the speaker that stays with us is the quality of his speech. The students who are less successful in receiving high honors envy those who have succeeded, and apparently think the lucky ones are looking at the world through rose colored glasses. -Vivian Walton mo, Beneath the spreading chestnut tree The smith Works like the deuce, For now he's selling gasoline, Hot dogs, and orange juice! 50 IwTl1e I'1el1'i-n8'Pe't,3l I-'sz 4 z ,,.,- VACATION DAYS fHororable Mentiony Vacation days! What words could be more enticing to the hardworking student? Especially as he sits studying for is it only trying to study?b diligently for the approaching examinations. He gazes wistfully from the window dreaming dreams that only a boy can dream. The walls of the school house are to him as the walls of the prison are to the prisoner, for it seems that they will never free him. He dreams of the old swimming pool, shadowed by willows with the sun gleaming softly through the branches making the water sparkle and dance. Then there is the quiet place in the river where the trout lie, seeming only to wait for a bit of bait on a bent pin. There will be hikes and picnics in the shady, pleasant woods, and oh! so many other things. What could possibly be more delightful to a boy than vacation time? He only lives from one vacation to the next, while school drags along in between with every spare moment spent in thinking of vacation. At last when school is really out he bursts forth with one joyful shout to his three months of freedom. The only thing that mars his happiness is the thought of school again in September. I envy him. Don't you? -Dorothy Hendren. .mom ONWARD AND UPWARD 1By Lucille Godselly As we Seniors are handed our diplomas on Commencement night, we possibly believe that we know just about all that is worth knowing. But do we? Alas, we do not. I am sure that each and every one of us felt just as thoroughly educated on his graduation from the eighth grade, but to our sorrow, we found that we had many, many things to learn when we came to High School. Not only does education help us to understand the subjects taught in school, but it broadens our views in all directions, making us see ahead into the future as those who have not had educational opportunities can never do. This is especially true of the higher education. Perhaps many will say, But it is impossible for me to go to college. Of course, this is true in a great many cases. However, even though you go no farther than through High School, you have had a glimpse of higher education and what it would mean to you. This should create in you an incentive to gain all the knowledge you can, no matter what your opportunities may be, or where you are. The tiny taste of that higher education which has been granted you should make you feel a desire to seek to better yourself and your surroundings. It is my belief that if you have the right spirit, the right attitude, you will succeed in your attempt to live the higher kind of life. For after all, what is education but the process of leading out of one the natural talent and ability that one possesses? Education does not necessarily mean schooling, although the two are usually found together. Remember that the Father of our Country went to school but very little, yet who could say that he was not an educated man? Our motto must always be Onward and Upward -to the improvement of ourselves and our surroundings, and eventually to health and happiness. 51 Tl-ne Melfins-Rai ,Sl I ' 'J M fait g all il LITERARY-MUSIC CONTESTS The preliminary contest was held Tuesday evening, April 21, in the high school auditorium.

Both teams presented many new faces since graduation had wrecked both teams of the preceding season. However, this made little difference in the Iierceness of the battle. LeRoy scored early in the game and proceeded to add another touchdown in each succeeding quarter, while Farmer City proved eifective in the second quarter, scoring their only touchdown. The final score was LeRoy, 24, Farmer City, 6. Thus another page in LeRoy- Farmer City history closed with LeRoy in the lead. Journey To Drummer The following week saw LeRoy working hard preparing for the veteran Gibson City team at Gibson City. LeRoy was unable to stop the drives of the heavy Gibson backs and was forced to take the short end of a 14 to 0 count. This was sweet for Gibson and not so bitter for LeRoy, because it was the first victory for Gibson over LeRoy in ten years. Bloomington Meets Home Team Now for Bloomington. With almost a veteran team, and size in their favor, the 59 2191.1-ne P1eli'i1-rg,-Pe'l' ,3l I 4 - 'J 51.5 4 fr- ,. il, ,n Bloomington boys came to LeRoy and blocked and ran interference like a group of veterans. Woody Johnson at quarter and McKay at half were very shifty and hard for LeRoy to stop. When the dust of battle had cleared away, the home team had failed to score while the visitors had counted 19 points. This evens the count of victories and losses in the series of games between these two schools at 5 victories and 5 losses each. Fairbury Springs A Surprise Fairbury came to LeRoy with what was reported to be a beginning team, but in the lineup were included enough veterans to give them plenty of assurance. Tipton at fullback proved a passer of superability which in connection with the ground gaining of Henderson permitted Fairbury to count 33 points while the best LeRoy could do was 13 points. Play Homecoming At Pontiac ext journeyed to Pontiac to engage the Pontiac Indians in their Homecoming game. Pontiac had never defeated LeRoy and had made great prepar- tion for this game hoping for a victory. The day was terribly hot for the gridiorn sport, which slowed up the play of both teams. Early in the first quarter Forbes, LeRoy end, grabbed a Pontiac lateral pass and ran 30 yards for a touchdown. The 'try for point' was missed. Later in the same quarter a Pontiac back grabbed a LeRoy pass and ran 35 yards to goal line. The 'try for point' was missed, but LeRoy was off side which gave the point to Pontiac. This proved to be the winning margin as neither team could count again. The final score being Pontiac, 7, LeRoy, 6. Meet Paxton At Night October 17 was to be an open date on LeRoy's schedule, but Paxton persuaded Coach McKean to bring LeRoy gridders to Paxton for the first game on their newly lighted field. This was the only evening game played by LeRoy and the boys enjoyed the change and demonstrated the fact by winning the game by a 9 to 0 count. Early in the first quarter LeRoy scored a safety when a bad Paxton pass from center rolled into the end zone. In the final quarter Paul Killion, veteran LeRoy center, celebrated the only night game of his high school football career by taking a Paxton pass and running 45 yards for the only touchdown of the game. Zander Scores For Rantoul Next in line, October 24, was Rantoul and Amos Zander. This big, strapping football player from the east was hard to stop and continued registering thruout the game gains of real length. He was the only one who could gain ground for Rantoul, but he gathered 19 points, and LeRoy collected but 6. U. High Conquered These LeRoy boys decided that they had been trampled on in a gridiron way long enough, so they arose en masse and ran interference, blocked, and tackled as a real team should, and when the final whistle sounded, Garee had gathered two touch- downs, Pendleton, oneg Reynolds, one, and Carr, one. Two points after touchdowns were successful, bringing the total to 32 points. U. High failed to score. Normal High Next, November 7 It seemed the high peak attained against U. High was too much effort and LeRoy could not stay on the pinnacle, consequently the poorest game of the season for the local team was played at Normal against Normal Community High. Normal scored three times, due mostly to gains through the middle of the LeRoy line by Mecherle. LeRoy's scoring was a touchdown counting 6 points, by Pendleton. 60 IMT!-ie Mel1'an3,T'..'t'3l 4 Z 'HJ- f-J' ,,. 21, ,1 Pontiac vs. LeRoy-In Action Clinton Brings Andrews To LeRoy Next came Clinton High's team sporting the great Andrews and their best team in a decade. This great ball carrier from DeWitt County drove off tackle, plunged through the line, changed pace, and cut back, until the time keeper said stop, with the count for Clinton, 523 LeRoy, O. Even in this game there were some bright spots: the tackling of Garee, and passing of Pendleton made the game much closer as a contest than the score indicates. Close The Seeason With A Tie At Farmer City, Turkey Day, Empire Township and Moore Township battled to a tie under most unfavorable conditions of weather and gridiron. Since the thermom- eter was hovering around the zero mark with snow liurries in the air and some snow on the field, this final game proved to be a Cold Endurance Contest rather than a football game Each team scored once and failed on the 'try for point! This is the first Turkey Day game LeRoy has failed to win since Coach McKean has been in charge of football. Football Banquet Banner Event The football banquet to the 1930 grid warriors was a banner one. The fathers and mothers and fans united to make this Annual Banquet one of the best and one of the largest ever held. It resembled somewhat a Mother and Son banquet for each member of the squad was accompanied by his mother. Approximately 260 persons were present and when the program was finished, all present agreed that the event had been one of the high spots in the community social life of LeRoy and community. The program was as follows: O. M. Phares, Toastmasterg Rev. McNemar, Foot- ball in Life , Prof. C. E. Horton, t'The Value of Physical Training g Capt. Earl Carr, The Value of Football , Coach L. A. McKean, Honor Awards-Letters. Prof. C. E. Horton, assisted by a class from I. S. N. U., presented a most inter- esting demonstration of physical education. The following players received honor letters: Capt. Earl Carr, Gordon Forbes, Ronald Garee, Glenn Golden, Paul Killion, Virgil Kuehling, Malcolm Kimler, John Pendleton, William McBride, Rubio Reynolds, Colin Cusey, Francis Bailey, Virgil Brown, Guy Kuehling, Russell Myers, Eugene Rice, Dale Rigney, Roscoe Wesley. A manager's letter to Gordon Trotter. Colin Cusey was elected captain of the team for the season of 1931. 61 IM The Milfihgg-PoT,3' 1 ' AJ f'f' f- ha of BASKET BALL REVIEW OF THE GAMES Home Team Was Victor What could have been better than to win the first game, and more, to have a good crowd of rooters follow our team to Bellflower? Reynolds, Davenport, and Garee did the heavy scoringg LeRoy 21, Bellflower 14. Wapella Hands Us Defeat With Wapella controlling the tip off throughout the first half, LeRoy held them to a 15 to 7 score. The second half Wapella came back with a bang to close the game with a score of 30 to 18. Farmer City Vanquished When does a LeRoy team play its best? Against Farmer City. Kimler, starting his first game at center, put the ball in the basket for LeRoy's initial counter. Reynolds, Garee, and Hamman rolled up the score for us. The final score was 24 to 17 in LeRoy's favor. Beaten By Bellflower Bellflower showed a smooth working team with a dandy shooter, Hensley, who made seven baskets. LeRoy showed little basket ball ability of any sort. Each man tried his best but the old team work just wasn't there. Final score 30 to 16. Normal High vs LeRoy Although LeRoy held the short end of the final score which was 29 to 16, the game was the fastest played this year. Our team showed signs of returning to the team work it had before vacation but still couldn't find the basket with any regularity. An Afternoon Game at Bloomington Hi Our invasion for revenge at Bloomington High school was unsuccessful to the tune of 33 to 14. Our team was held to five field baskets while Bloomington rolled in the convincing total of fifteen. We are looking forward to the day when a LeRoy basket ball team can take Bloomington into camp. Toss-up With Heyworth Heyworth opened with a short one but LeRoy tallied with a sleeper. The score changed in favor of the team rapidly and often. Our team left the floor at the half with a lead of 13 to 10. Heyworth slowly crept ahead while their stubborn defense became something of note. The gun sounded with Heyworth in the lead, 20 to 18. This was Rubio's last game for E. T. H. S. He played a fine floor game and made five baskets. Downs Wins As Usual We are expecting Rice to get in the game and pair up with Don Davenport to make the ball roll in the old hoop often. They scored two baskets each in this game, Ronald made four baskets, and Stanley made his customary Hone. Final' score, 30 to 20. LeRoy vs Lexington LeRoy started this game with the appearance of doing business. We held Lexington helpless most of the first half while Rice and Garee each put in a basket. However, before the half ended Lexington had secured a lead of 6 to 4. The second half LeRoy wilted and Lexington came to life with Dodson scoring six baskets. Too bad for LeRoy, final score 21 to 7.

Saybrook counted early in the game but Garee kept LeRoy in the running with his free throws and stellar defense. LeRoy showed improved defense and basket shooting and really looked better than its opponent. LeRoy vs Stanford LeRoy met Stanford in the first round of the consolation. Stanford took an early lead and was never headed. Score at the half was 15 to 6. Rice led LeRoy with 10 points. He scored three baskets in about three minutes at one stage in the second half. Garee was plainly the center of defense. The final score was 23 to 18. A Victory Over VVeldon LeRoy could gain no advantage the first half which ended, 5 to 5. The second half was beginning to have appearance of the first when, lo and behold, Kimler stirred up a commotion by sinking two baskets. The rally continued to the end of the game which ended 19 to 9. Now for Farmer City again. LeRoy vs Farmer City This game soon had the spectators in a frenzy, the score changing rapidly and the game becoming faster every minute. LeRoy pulled away in the last few minutes to take the victory, 31 to 22. The team showed marked improvement in style of defense. Our offense also showed improvement. 63 MTI-le Meliins'-PuT,3l 1 4 , ,f 4 ff ,. h, ,. Wapella Veterans Did Their Stuff To beat Wapella seemed beyond our power for Wapella made many baskets while We gathered only our customary number. John Pendleton has found his basket eye for good. He made three baskets in this game. Although the score 47 to 21 indicates a one-sided score, our team fought hard until the final whistle blew. Lexington Took Our Measure Again LeRoy didn't have a defense worth looking at. Result? Score at half, 16 to 4, in favor of Lexington. What happened between halves? Ask the coach. Result? LeRoy showed a defense the second half which held Lexington to eleven points while we were scoring fourteen points. Final score, LeRoy 18, Lexington 29. Downs Hands LeRoy Another Trimming LeRoy couldn't get going and Downs couldn't miss the basket. Garee counted three field goals and Pendleton two. Our offensive men lost their shooting eyes. Final score, LeRoy 15, Downs 37. Another ambition: To see LeRoy beat Downs. Alvin-LeRoy Game Harris Dean brought his cagers back to his Alma Mater for what turned out to be the most exciting game that LeRoy played. The first half ended, 14 to 7, in favor of Alvin. LeRoy came back in the second half and the game was ending a tie when Pendleton sank a free throw just a second before the whistle blew. In the over time, Alvin scored first only to be tied again when LeRoy made a long field goal. Alvin also connected with a long one which proved to be the winning toss. Final score, Alvin 20, LeRoy 19. Powerful Clinton Team Too Much For LeRoy We gave Clinton a good game. At the half LeRoy was leading 14 to 13 due to some excellent defense work and to the shooting of Rice and Trotter. The second half Clinton substituted until a combination was found that was too much in size and weight for our team. John led the scoring the second half with two baskets. Final score, LeRoy 22, Clinton 33. Weldon Beaten Second Time Weldon came to LeRoy on Saturday night for the last game of the regular schedules. The first half looked anything but promising, however we managed to leave the floor with a leading score, 11 to 5. The second half LeRoy opened up. It was a great treat to see everyone putting the old pill through the hoop. Final score was LeRoy 32, Weldon 13. ' District Tournament The tournament was held at llinois Wesleyan in Bloomington. LeRoy drew a bye and played the winner of the game between Bloomington and ElPaso. Bloomington won that game. Rice and Pendleton were out because of illness and no one else was able to produce except Carr, who played a fine game at guard and center, and Garee who caged two baskets and four free throws to close their high school career. Final score was LeRoy 19, Bloomington 32. LeRoy vs Heyworth Heyworth visited LeRoy Friday of the same week and handed our boys a 22 to 8 setback. The game started with a slow break. LeRoy counted a free throw and the score stood 2 to 1 for Heyworth for the greater part of the first quarter. LeRoy broke into the lead only to be headed. Heyworth counted three fielders as the half ended, 12 to 5. The second half ended with both teams scoring little. Final score: Le-Roy 8, Heyworth 22. 64 MTM Melia-n3,T'L.'lf'3l I 4 ' H QLS 4 ff- ,. il, ,. TRACK 1 1 Back Row-CLeft to Righty Coach McKean, W. Brown, B. Fentress, D. Holland, E. Scott, L. Hill, C.

Downs was our next opponent, proving to be easy opposition for LeRoy. Forbes Garee and Pendleton, our letterrnen, scored nearly half the points. Final score, Downs, 33, LeRoy, 70. Empire's track team proved itself several times better than Bloomington's when we defeated them 66-51. The points were close, up until the last two events, javelin and broad jump. We scored slams in these events. Pendleton was high point man of the meet. Taking seven Iirsts and tying for two more, LeRoy defeated Farmer City, 7215 to 5299 on Fan's Field. Farmer City proved to be a worthy opponent fighting to the finish in every event. Garee was the high point man of the day. 65 MThe M.i1a1,3T'..'r'sn 1 1 ' 'HJ' ff- ,. iv, ., Eight of the team, the manager and the coach, went to the Atlanta relays. LeRoy won the two-mile relay, second in the sprint medley, Pendleton fourth in the javelin- throw. This gave us second place in our class, with Fairbury winning first. We were severely handicapped by the loss of Garee. Forbes was spectacular due to a splendid finish in the two-mile relay. 101 THE COUNTY MEET The County Meet of 1931 was held at Wilder Field, May 1, with fifteen schools participating. The meet was close to the finish with LeRoy and Chenoa as possible winners. The medley relay determined the winner of the meet, when Chenoa placed second and LeRoy third.
