Q U3 Stanley Hamman was there on his honeymoon, too. He and Geraldine have been UI married two weeks now. Eunice Robbins was there with her bakery boyfGene Rice. 3 On the way out to the mountains, we rode a little way with Dorothy McWilliams- 3 V the famous novelist. Remember the ghost stories she used to write in English class? 'J She still writes the same kind. She had recently seen Dale Rigney who was on leave J from his duties on the U. S. S. Grant. You know he's the admiral of the navy. He J always was crazy about the navy or the marines. I forgot which. J Betty Phares married soon after graduating, and she has twins-Sandy and J Q Sandra. Cute names, don't you think? I see her every now and then. She's as 'J U3 peppy as ever. U3 Louise Banner is the owner of a big gold mine somewhere in the west. They 3 say that she passes out gold nuggets-just to let Henry Ford know that she's no 3 'Q cheap-skate. 'Q Ellen Skillman made quite a name for herself in the literary world. She went 3 to a Girl's School, and majored in English. She has won several prizes, and now I 'fi hear that she is engaged to a very wealthy man in New York-an architect, I believe. X3 L Guy Kuehling invented a tractor which doesn't need a rider. He always was U lazy. He owns a big farm near LeRoy, which he manages from the front porch of ul his farmhouse. His partner is Russell Myers-a pal of his high school days. J Q And the biggest surprise of all is that Colin Cusey-the bashful---is a famous U3 comedian in Hollywood. He is a deadpan -and very successful. He married a UI 'D beautiful star out there-Greta Deitrich. They are immensely happy. 3 Francis Bailey, who was musical from his crawling stage, is now the leader of 3 U a famous orchestra and is playing in London, England. He is a HOWLING success. U 3 While in the Old World, we met Rose Bishop and her husband. They own a famous 3 if beautiful salon in Paris, and Rose is known as Madame Carlenne. U Bill Trotter is in the air about 10 miles up. He always was high-minded. 3 J Mignon Hendren went with him, but he threw her out as she made the balloon too go heavy. N J Hilda Moore is a nurse at St. Luke's Hospital in Chicago. I think she is the .J Superintendent. John Poindexter is in Chicago, too, and now that the 18th Amend- Q U3 ment is repealed, he has a very exclusive Dance and Drink place. All the 400 go there. U3 Margradel finally married her John, after three years of teaching Home Ec. 3 They live in Boston, and she makes pretzels to go with the beer he makes. 3 U U Barbara Keenan is living in Hawaii where her husband is stationed. He is an 3 Army officer and an aviator. She writes that while fiying the other day, they wit- 3 U nessed the eruption of Mt. Keawhulawala. Q 3 Pauline Schwartz and Forrest Noggle are on the stage doing a dance act. They N3 U are enjoying a huge success. Stella has become quite a famous aviatrix, hasn't she? U She flew around the world twice in one day. Not bad, it it? J Wen, ru be seeing ya' ........ J lv 3 Anny Body. 3 U U U' U, QQl'uQl'bQf if DQ?

U The play opens with Blanche Swift and her sister, Mollie Miller, as well as Aunt , Aurelia, very excited over the prospective visit of their step-mother, the second wife V of the late Esmond Miller, brother of Miss Miller. The girls do not like the idea of this step-mother, who is coming to receive her share of their father's estate which is Ui to be divided. Her former career as an actress, before her marriage in Tokio, is very - displeasing to them. i Frank Cutting, a friend of the family, has fallen in love with Mollie and is trying U to persuade her to elope, because Miss Miller is greatly opposed to Mollie being married. Q Mrs. Miller, formerly Nancy Noyes, arrived unknown and the ' , J thinking that she is a new governess for Mollie. The governess was due to arrive J that day. Exciting events follow, when Bartley learns that Nancy Miller is Nancy ul Noyes, and that he was in love with her two years ago in Tokio, He wrote passionate dl love letters to her, and in fact acted rather foolishly. I-le has never told Blanche of i this for she is disturbingly jealous of him, and she believes first love the only real love. i U Blanche nnds her in Bartley's arms, she becomes furious with him. U i In the meantime Frank and Molly elope, keeping their marriage a secret. u The Count Maurice De Brissoc, a suitor of Nancy's comes to Hastings, and when Q he learns that she is at the home of Bartley Swift, her old sweetheart, he plans to Y J kill Bartley, Poor Bartley finds himself in a sad predicament. However, the Count J learns the true state of affairs, and when the real governess appears, Nancy's J identity is revealed. Blanche forgives Bartley, thinking it all a joke, and goes on 5 ., thinking first love, true love. V ' Mollie and Frank announce their marriage and he is accepted as a member, not U a mere Friend of the Family.

U UI SYNOPSIS up The story, Daddy Long Legs, is familiar to many. The play ran for two suc- Uj cessful years on Broadway, and it has been made in moving pictures twice, once 3 starring Mary Pickford, and once Janet Gaynor. U i The plot concerns Judy Abbot, a founclling girl who rebels against the tyranny , 55 of the orphan asylum in which she has grown from babyhood. The first act is set in 'A N the dining room of the John Grier Home on Trustee's Day. The little orphans are E J very pathetic little figures, in blue checked gingham and pig-tails. They are also J naughty sometimes. After being scolded and ridiculed before all the trustees, Judy ul breaks forth wildly, telling of her years of hard work and little chance of ever having ul fb a home or an opportunity to get away from the asylum, which she hates. She runs fD NI away in tears. ' X, 55 Jervis Pendleton, a newly appointed trustee, witnesses her spirited and pathetic 'XJ X denance of the matron and determines to send her to college.

As we came down to the wharf, with J the mingled odors of fresh roasted coffee from the huge coffee terminals, ship loads of bananas, cargoes of other fruits and spices greeting us, we were prepared to see Uh things strange to a native northerner. The first thing to greet our eyes was the Capital, a large white excursion boat that is used for taking sight-seers on a short ' trip up the Mississippi to see the wonderful wooded hills and beautiful plantation U homes. Continuing on our way down the wharf, we watched the seagulls that fiew around J us and swam on the water. While we were thus looking, a somewhat ragged looking, red nosed individual came up to us and informed us that farther down at the banana wharf we could watch men unload bananas. For some hundred yards he told us of the many interesting things about the wharf, and then finally decided to leave. How- 3 ever, before leaving he handed over to us a huge sob story. After he found where 'f our homes were, he said he was a citizens of Quincy, Illinois, and surely was glad to see someone from his home state. I wanted to tell him then, that no one raised a J southern drawl like his in Northern Illinois. He then added that the dreadful disease Pellagra had caused him to come South. Being almost well now, he wanted us to Ui give him enough money to cross the Mississippi on the ferry. We imparted to him our utmost sympathy, and gave him fifteen cents. On receiving this sum and gratefully i I U thanking us, he departed, not toward the ferry, but in exactly the opposite direction, U no doubt to give a further cherry red tinge to his nose. J After this bold interruption we strolled on again, finally coming to where they J were loading cotton on some large South American steamers. Nearly all the working 3 men are colored because darkies work for so little money. However, all the overseers UL U are white. Inside the warehouse, we saw huge bales of cotton piled high in every i direction. They appear to weigh about one hundred pounds but really weigh six , U hundred pounds. Mules are used a great deal on the wharf for hauling huge wagons U iilled with cotton bales. J Now, taking the advice of our Pellagra friend, we went farther down the wharf J where they were unloading bananas from huge South American Freighters. To do g this, they used an immense banana unloader. This was pushed out until part of it J U was within reach of the men on the ship. The bananas are carried from the ship to , the shore on a very wide belt. The bunches of this well liked fruit are watched as P U U they come in, by a group of men. Every once in a while the unloader will stop so these men can inspect a certain bunch of bananas that they may think has some sort of disease on it, or is infested with some harmful insect. J Q Having satistied our curiosity in regard to this tropical fruit, we started back along the wharf. Many men of our interrupter's type were sitting around. Here 3 and there we saw Custom Officers carrying out their duty of industriously examining all sorts of baggage. i All the ships were getting a much needed scrubbing and looked clean. Just U before we got out of sight of the ships, the derrick on one of them seemed to wave good-bye to us as it swung around and deposited the bales of cotton onto the ship. i Thus we left, in my opinion, the most fascinating, interesting, and amusing sight in our whole southern trip.

Mr. Coonrod was a kind, honest man whom everyone seemed to like even though he was very superstitious. Of course, I would speak well of Mr. Coonrod because as it so happened he was my uncle. My uncle spent many dreary days in his little log cabin which was mostly due to his superstitions and of course as I said in my title he was a bachelor, so he didn't have a wife to help him keep the cabin clean and neat. Next we'll take a look inside the cabin to see what Mr. Coonrod looks like as he sits reading by the fireplace. Of course we mustn't look at his clothes, his shoes especially because they cover such a large area it might take us five or ten minutes to decide whether they were shoes or a couple of those large sled-runners like we see on a bob-sled, but one thing we will notice is his face. Now really my uncle isn't so bad looking in the face because he favors me a little. His nose isn't over three or four inches long and his chin is rather convenient because it turns up enough so as to make a good coat hanger, and his eyes which are not much larger than a silver dollar just set off that nose and chin. Since I said he was superstitious perhaps I had better tell of one superstition which caused him to be laid away in his grave. One day when I was visiting my uncle he asked me to prepare dinner because he said his feet were so tired he could hardly get around. So, like a nice boy, I peeled some potatoes and got them already to put in the skillet. I found there was no salt so I ran down to the neighbors and borrowed some. I got dinner ready and we sat down to eat. My uncle said: Forgot to tell you I was out of salt, and I just bet those potatoes are good Without salt. Why uncle, I said, HI borrowed some salt from Mr. Jones. And you never saw such fits in all your born days. Old uncle jumped up and down and screamed: Now we'll have bad luck the rest of our lives just on account of borrowing that salt. Maybe you think I didn't yell when he flopped one of his big feet down on mine, and it didn't bother me either when he fell over dead as he did, just so he got that big foot off of me. THE MUSIC OF THE RAIN qBy Ettaregina Hagenj Raindrops patter on the roof And in the winding lanes Like a tiny orchestra Playing sweet refrains. Dancing yellow daffodils Nod their pretty heads, Violets and buttercups Sway in grassy beds. Then, pausing for a little while They lift their lips to drink.

SENIOR WIENER ROAST One evening in October the Seniors had their Wiener roast west of town, in Kline's pasture. Before we could build the fire, all the cars had to be driven across the creek and some of them got stuck. Everyone was hungry and only a few buns remained to tell the story-Oh, no!-the Seniors and teachers survived too, but all wieners, marshmallows, and pickles had mysteriously vanished. -Margradel Dooley, '32, SOPHOMORE PICNIC The Sophomore welcomed the little green Freshies to E. T. H. S. by having a harvest party in the gym. It brought back memories of the husking bees that ma and pa attended when they were young, for the gym was crowded with Sun Bonnet Sallys and Overall Jims. Cornstalks and pumpkins were found everywhere. Cocoa and pumpkin pie was served to everyone. To make it seem even more realistic, we danced the Virginia Reel. -Rhea Patterson. FRESHMAN PICNIC At the beginning of the school term, about five o'c1ock, a group of funny looking people were standing before the high school. Pretty soon they all disappeared and we found them out on the Cusey farm having a Wiener roast and a peck of fun. They ate wieners, marshmallows, and yum-yum, they even had watermelon. About 9:00 o'clock they all departed and we didn't see them again until the next morning at school. -Mildred Weidner. JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION The Juniors entertained the Seniors with the annual reception on May 4, in the high school gym. Eugene Rice, president, Jessie Brittin, vice president, and Madge Iseminger, Junior class advisor, were on the reception committee. A hotel plaza was the plan carried out using the colors red, black and white as colors. The orchestra played swaying dance tunes from the black, red and white canopy. On the other side, one found card tables where one, when tired of dancing, could play fifty or bridge and drink punch and eat dainty wafers. The Seniors spent a very enjoyable evening and think the Juniors very fine hosts and hostesses. FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE PICNIC On Tuesday evening May seventeenth, nineteen hundred and thirty-two, the Sophomore and Freshman classes ventured on a picnic to Fisher Lane. Many car loads of boys and girls enjoyed the exciting ride to their destination. Much amusement was found upon reaching Fisher Lane, exploring, games and baseball. Everyone worked up an appetite. At least seventy-five of the pupils and faculty enjoyed the bountiful food with delicious ice cream and cake as a cap-sheaf. All went back to town rejoicing that it was one of the nicest picnics held during the school year. -Janet McKean, '34. A SOPHOMORE ENTERTAINMENT Monday, September 21, 1931, the Sophomores held a wiener roast at Fishers Lane. Most of the class, in which there are thirty-five pupils, were present. Everyone gathered around the fire to roast wieners and marshmallows. After they all had satisfied their appetites, games were played until nine o'clock when they departed saying that they had had a nice time and lots to eat. -Verla Hale.

J J JUNIOR FALL OUTING i I U One evening in early fall the Juniors tumbled into trucks and cars and headed 'fi b for Fisher Lane. Three of the industrious boys had already built a roaring tire of U logs and small sticks of wood. The sacks of roasting ears had to be covered with wire to keep the horses from relieving us of them. J Everyone played around until about dark before they began roasting sweet J corn and hot dogs. Several of the girls went wading until the boys chased them out. After the sticks had been cut and whittled at one end, each one selected for himself U5 U a comfortable place around the fire. After the wieners and butter covered roasted , ears came the pickles, buns, and marshmallows. , U After the eats, games of all kinds were played, chiefly Hide and Seek and U New York. Just before leaving, everyone joined hands and danced in the dusk, l U J lighted by the glimmering light around the fire, playing Ring Around the Rosie. A J more enjoyable time had never been had by anyone. UI -Jessie Brittin.

The team was very light and very inexperienced. In the first game of the season with Gibson, we were defeated by a score of 14 to nothing. The boys did very well although they did not win. Bloomington ran a very heavy score against us, but that was not surprising because their team was very large and the boys on their team were almost all of age. In the game with Fairbury we were defeated by a score of 32 to 0. The Alumni pulled quite a surprise on us by defeating us 24 to 0. In the Ridge Farm game the teams were very evenly matched. We held the edge with a score of 6 to 0, until the last quarter when they made a touchdown and the point after touchdown. The Paxton-LeRoy game was another game where both teams were evenly matched. They won by a score of 12 to 7. U. High proved somewhat our superior by defeating us 19 to 0. Normal High brought their undefeated team to LeRoy for our next game. They defeated us by a score of 37 to 0. Our old rivals from Farmer City certainly surprised us as well as themselves when they ran ,up the top heavy score of 70 to 0. Rantoul was the next team to give us battle and they defeated us also by a score of 38 to 0. In the Turkey Day game we met Farmer City again. They did not defeat us quite as bad as they did Armistice Day, but it was bad enough! fo Football Scores Score Score Score Score Gibson City, ............ 14 LeRoy, .... 0 U.

FOOTBALL SEASON ENDS WITH A POT LUCK SUPPER The football banquet in honor of the 1931 squad was in the form of a pot luck supper Everybody was invited and everyone took their own eats and table service. There were about 300 persons who attended. The members of the squad were accom- panied by their mothers as has been the custom for several years. The high school furnished music for the evening. Prof. W. Earl Taylor was toastmaster and speakers of the evening were Gene Hill, of State Normal University, Captain Colin Cusey, Coach Howard J. Hancock, of State Normal University, and Coach L. A. McKean, awarding letters. The following boys received letters: Colin Cusey, Russell Myers, Guy Kuehling, Francis Bailey, Darrell Holland, Eugene Rice, Herbert Lane, Roger Oleson, Roscoe Wesley, Paul Buckles, Junior Dolly, Donald Golden, Paul McClanahan, Harold Peyton, Edgar Scott, Bryce McWilliams, Eugene McBride, Kenneth Jackson, and managers Lawrence Kimler and Paul Lowe.

The season's high points were the Farmer up City game, County Tournament, District Tournament and the games at the end of the UI season. , The first game with Farmer City ended with LeRoy winning 34 to 19. The first i U half ended 16 to 14 in LeRoy's favor. However, they pepped up in the second half to U walk away with the game. The second game with Farmer City was won 24 to 18, the J first half ended 8 to 4, in Farmer City's favor. J Clinton expected to win an easy victory, but at the half they were losing 11 to 9.

Two lettermen were all that we had from last year, however, the team did well in all their contests. In the first meet of the season with U. High, they scored 68 points to 54 for LeRoy. The team defeated Colfax easily with a score of 61 to 38 in the second meet. In the dual meet with Farmer City, LeRoy was defeated GSM, to 443. In the Farmer City Relay the boys did very well and took second place. The dual meet with Normal came very near being a tie, with the final score 57 to 56 in our favor. In the Atlanta Relays the boys gained a total of 20 points. Downs defeated our team in the next meet by a score of 51 to 39. The team made a very good showing in the county meet in that they took third place. They had some keen competition in this meet. Coach McKean took four boys to the state tryouts, but Rice was the only one to place. He took second place in the 220 yd. low hurdles. SENIOR PLAY- DADDY LONG LEGS fContinued from page 239 with an inclination for doing good deeds, but a positive horror for being found out. He admires Judy's independence and determines to give her the chance which has been denied her. However, he imposes this stipulation. The girl is not to know the identity of her mysterious benefactor. Although she does not see her guardian, she catches a glimpse of his elongated shadow on the asylum wall and promptly names him Daddy Long Legs. With the aid of Miss Pritchard, a lady trustee and a kind friend of Judy, Jervis arranges for Judy to room with his niece, Julia Pendleton, and her friend Sallie McBride at college. Then under the pretext of visiting his niece, he can observe Judy's progress. She develops into a sweet girl, with a habit of saying amazing things. She thoroughly shocks Jervis' sister-in-law, Julia's mother. Jimmie McBride, Sallie's dashing young brother seems to fall in love with Judy, and Jervis and many others begin to think she will marry him. Judy spends her summer vacations on a farm in Connecticut, where Jervis, himself, spent his boyhood. He visits her there sometimes. During all this time he has been finding out that he loves Judy dearly and upcn one occasion, he tells her of his love. She cannot marry him, but does not tell him Why. He thinks she loves Jimmie McBride and does not understand that, although really in love with him fJervisJ she feels indebted to Daddy Long Legs, and thinks she must work and repay him for his kindness. Then, when Julia Pendleton announces her engagement to Jimmie McBride, and Miss Pritchard tells Jervis that Judy is unhappy because she sent him away, he hastens to reveal his identity to her, and the story ends happily.
