JERDAN, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF HAZEL LUTZ, FACULTY ADVISER MARGUERITE WILLIAMS, FACULTY ADvlsER E. W. KERSTEN, PRINCIPAL H. B. BLACK, SUPERINTENDENT FRED A. KINZEL Without question one of the most loyal alumni that lVlattoon High School ever had was the late Fred A. Kinzel. Throughout his life he always showed the keenest interest in every development of the schools of Mattoon. He was interested in the schools from the viewpoint of the pupil, always anxious to see that the Mattoon boy or girl was afforded the most that it was possible to have. Further, he was most anxious to see that the child that came from the small-income home was afforded opportu- nity to see the thing that would increase his or her outlook in the field where the child had shown unusual aptitude. For many years he sent a group of girls who had shown ability in music, to the Municipal Opera at St. Louis. Many boys with limited financial means were taken to athletic events. During the past few years all the children in all the lower grades were taken to see suitable motion pictures that would be valuable and enjoyable to them. When Mattoon High looked for a suitable athletic Held. he made possible the acquisition of the tract that bears his name. With his passing, he presented the school with an amount of money equal to the amount he was to receive over the ten year period of the contract. ln addition he bequeathed 315,000 to be used as directed by the school board. Already 31,000 of that amount has been expended for greatly needed band instruments that could I10t have been acquired except by such generosity. The remaining amount will be expended for things that would not have been possible without this fund. It is the expressed plan of the Board of Education to use the money so that children of all grades will have advantages that would not otherwise be possible. The Parochial school of the local Catholic Church also has reason to appreciate his generosity. Mr. Kinzel served for three years as President of the Board of Education. During that period he showed his outstanding educational leadership. The untimely death of Mr. Kinzel took away one of Mattoonis most illustrious citizens and his loss cannot be replaced.

BOOK ONE 'The leaves of brown I1 came tumblmg down T 6 A M' t M' Tn In TI-IE BACKWARD LGOK DEBU We have gon-e candid, In photography we have said that we must have shots of people as they are, not only as they want us to think they are. As a result we have countless photo- graphs of folks in all manner of ridiculous poses. We are just no-w coming to realize that those pictures are, after all, not the real people and we are swinging back toward pictures of people as they really are. Our story books told us that George Washing- ton cut down his fathers cherry tree and he was such an honest lad that he immediately admitted his misde-ed. Then as we went candid in our thinking, we have said that is the bunk. He is none the less honest and great to us, even though the story may not be true. His life was guided by such lo-fty principles that when his country needed his counsel, his money and his leadership, all were offered that this country might become free. We have all gone through an era in which we have tried to debunk our heroes. We have tried to make them seem like ordinary human beings and in too many cases we have succeeded in mak- ing them look ridiculous. We need to realize that this at-tempt is the bunk. Our great leaders are human, but they have achieved more than we. We need to set up as an ideal those people who have shown their greatness by those achievements. A certain loyal Mattoon High School Alum- nus out of High School some len years, happy in the successes that he had won, stopped 'lo consider. l-le realized more and more as time went on that his success had heen not 'nlv hefause of his ellorts, hut also hecause of the inspiration and training that his school had given hi111. He realized that the small petty grievances and fancied injustices towards hi111 during his school days had taken an entirely different form as he went on through life. ln fact, in several instances he had lookel up former teachers and thanked them for some rather pertinent suggestions that were not so easy to take in school days. He also encouraged his teachers to continue to render similar service to their students, as the new classes came and prog- resscd. Certainly a srhool can he proud of alumni that have that sense of loyalty. May the pupils that go out in this yearis class have their full share of success, and may they have a similar feeling towards their Alina Mater. KBU When we do, we shall come to realize that their unusual ability is their true nature. You and I need to debunk ourselves of this idea that greatness is bunk, rather let us apply our- selves to the achievement of some goal which is worthy of our best efforts. FACULTY '83 D. E.

First, Wayiie Neal and his assistants, Houston Jerdan, Dale Lazier, Charles Gilbert and liill Dunn, got out and put the pressure on the business men, and boy, before you would snap your lingers they had their quota of advertising in the bag. Bill Timmons, our able business manager, with Miss Williams' aid, came through with a straight set of books. And of course, you know, the circulation part was easy after we had that assembly when you helped us out. Virginia Coffey, and her helpers, Elizabeth Henriehs, Mary Field and Lawrence Pleasant, just had to sit in the hall and pick up the coins that rolled ing in fact, all previous sales' records were broken.

Even seniors found out a lot they didn't know. The book exchange and the advertising for the fall party were also taken charge of by the Student Council. Furthermore, they sponsored a pep meeting which met with great approval and will probably be an example for other clubs to follow.

Betty Nash, our editor-in-chief, was the originator of the idea. Backed by several of the more literary of our students, she finally persuaded Mr. Kersten to allow her to try her idea. It was found that not much knowledge of journalism was available. How- ever, with frequent errors Las lVliss Morgan soon discovered and told usl, the paper was published. Much discussion was held as to whether it should be printed or mimeographed. Since our finances were somewhat low and we were not allowed to advertise, it was decided to mimeograph the copy. We hope that some day the school will be able to publish a printed newspaper. Many difficult days and many trials were had while the staff was learning the ways and means of the newspaper office. lVlany of our staff endeavored in vain to learn to write poetry for its columns. The complaints were quite frequent, especially concerning the gossip column. The Staff consisted of- Betty Nash - Editor-in-Chief Miriam Preston - - News Paul Graham - - Sports G, A.

Mattoon l29--Opponents lil. This is all that is needed to tell what a fine footlmall record llflattoon ehalked up during the 737 season. The Green and Cold opened the season hy walloping Casey 50-0. The next week found the boys open- ing the conference season at Champaign. The contest was played in a downpour of rain and ended in a scoreless tie. A strong Vlfestville eleven fell lmefore the Green and Cold on the following Friday--score lfl-0. lVlattoon's never-to-l1e- forgotten Charleston rivals fell lmeforc the Green and Cold to the tune of 21-il. Nice going, lioys. Mattoon proved its superiority again the following week liy downing Danville in the second conference game of the season-score 7-O. The lioys took to the road las did many of the loeal fans! and invaded a strong Decatur eleven. They were strong hut our lmoys lirought home the bacon-score lil-0. An undefeated Urhana eleven invaded Kinzel Field to eapture a 0-0 victory over the Green and Gold. llncidentally, it was the first touchdown scored against Mattoon as well as the first defeatl. It was a heartbreaking loss hecause it was the only defeat of the season. Bloomington, lVlattoon's alternating Big 12 rival, arrived at the local field on Armistice Day. The Green and Cold set them hack in grand style llll-Tl to finish a highly successful season. We are very proud of our foothall squad as well as our three coat-hes, Messrs. Hahn, johnson. and Horton. Although we lose eight first string men through graduation, we will he very glad to welcome hack several juniors and Sophomores. Those men lost are: ,lack Skillman. Charley Metzelaars, Dan lliee, Bert Strohl, Vernon Voigt, lloh llills, Paul Monson, George Blare, Boh Humes, and Tom Donnell. Those letterrnen who will he with us again next year are: Walt Storm, Dwain Landon, Max Seihert, and George Snapp. Allli 'IOB CLASS 1st row-Mz11'j111'iv A111-1. 1,111-11111 4'z1111111111, .l:1111- lqillllll, Yi1'gi11i:1, H11:1111, K:1t111'y11 111-111, l.1111is1,1 N11-11z111s, 1121111111 1711111111111 X'i1111-1 l.:111f111n. 1lz1z1-1 H111'11, Al1ll'll1i1 l'11'l'l'4', 111111-11 K1':111s1-. l+Il111s11H011111:1'. 2nd l'0WYl':4'1'111f'P N1-211.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 16, 1937- Went to the scrubs' party today and had a swell time. I found one solitary peanut in the drinking fountain during the peanut hunt and thought I was doing swell.

Before dark I played tennis, volley-ball and even foot- ball twith the boysl. After dark we ate-oh Boy!

DRAMATIC CLUB HThe whole world is a stage and we are but puppets upon itu might well be the motto of our Dramatic Club. The club studied pantomime, speech, action and other important phases in the art of the drama. At each meeting there was an interesting program, arranged by an ofhcer, and following along one of these phases. The club had a large membership this year and advanced admirably in its study of the drama.

Games were enjoyed, Frcnch Hchansonsw with catchy little tunes were sung and 'cdiscoursn on lives of famous Frenchmen given. As a part of our program Mile.

TI-IE A CAPPELLA CI-ICIR The ACappella Choir attended the Big Twelve Music Festival at Peoria. In May, this group in connection with the Girls, Glee Club made an appearance at the Gym show. This group is perhaps the most in demand outside of szhool. It has made a number of local appearances at churches and with the Girls Clee Club has sung over WDZ. The A Cappella Choir is composed of a selected group of mixed voices. The Choir with the hand represented Coles county in a program over WDZ in April. TI-IE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club is an advanced singing organization. Everyone who enters must have the ability to pass the tryout successfully. In May the Club sang at the Gym show. It annually sings for the graduation exercises. In the spring, a group of thirty is chosen by Miss Julsrud to attend the Big Twelve Music Festival. This group also sings in the ACappella Choir.

Biggs. conimandant of our Reserve Ollicers Training Corps, his ahle assistant, Sergeant James P. jones, and a staff of student oflicers and non- commissioned oH'icers have brought our R. O. T. C. Battalion to a degree of pro- ficiency far and hevond the high expectations of the M. H. S. student hody and the citizenry of Mattoon. Our Battalion took first place among the first year schools of the Sixth Corps Area in 1936. ln l9f'37 we took fourth place. This year, however, Major Biggs, Sergeant Jones. and the Cadet Staff have made an extra effort to hring our Hat- talion far ahead of the other schools in our corps area. We have high hopes of olxtaining the rating of an ullonor High Schoolf' which is given in each corps area, to a limited number of schools having the greatest degree of proficiency. as determined hy the annual Federal lnspection each spring. Our R. O. T. C. Unit has the distinction of having the highest percentage of hoys in the R. 0. T. C. of any high school in the United States. At the present time about 7525- of the hoys in M. H. S. take R. U. T. C., and over 90171 are taking or have taken R. U. T. C. Each R. U. T. C. Unit has a rifle team, composed of the Unit's sharpshooters. Our rifle team made a fair showing in the Sixth Corps Area Match in 1936. ln l937 we took third place. This year we took second place, heing defeated hy Rockford High School. of Rockford. Illinois. Last year the rifle team fired in the National Intercollegiate Match and took fl-Sth place. We expect a lietter rating this year. This yearis team members are: Major R.

BAN Captain - First Lieutenant First Lieutenant - Bob Louder Jerry Storm - - Hugh Tucker Second Lieutenant - - Paul Graham Second Lieutenant Drum Major Librarian - Charlene Fletcher - - - - Marian lVlcKee - - - - - - James Beavers For the past few years the band has been steadily increasing in members and instrumentation. The band now has eighty-seven pieces and a complete, well-bal- anced instrumentation. On March 26, 1938, sixty-two members attended the district solo and ensemble contest at Gibson City. Twenty-one out of twenty-nine entries brought back first division honors. Those soloists who, by winning the district here are able to go to the state contest, are: Cynthia Talbot, Wilma Pruitt, Maxine Brumleve, Bette Thorne, Gertrude Worland, Carl Leach, Robert Faris, Charlene Fletcher, Betty Burnett, and Nita Kersten. Several ensembles also received first division and will enter the state finals. On March 27, the band gave a concert and one week later, won first division at the district contest, Class B, at Gibson City. The band has enjoyed the privilege of attending the state contest for three of the four years since Mr. Elliott has been director. The band meets seven times a week, for practice. There are sectional re- hearsals regularly. The students greatly enjoy the band's playing for football and basketball games. This year the band was able to accompany the football team to Champaign. tTheir spirits were slightly dampened, however, by the deluge which lasted the entire eveningj The band greatly appreciates the contribution of three new sousaphones, a bass viol, and an alto clarinet. These instruments were obtained through funds do- nated by the late Mr. Fred Kinzel. 1st row+VVilma Pruitt, Maxine Brumleye. Cynthia Talbot, Virginia Ferguson. Uliarlene Fletch- er, Betty Burnett.

TRACK ' Many loyal track fans saw the team through a fairly successful season. For the first time in several years, an intramural track meet was held to get more boys to come out. The team made an impressive debut by copping sixth place at the Lawrenceville relays. Matheny led the Green and Gold with a first place in the pole vault and a third place in the broad jump. Walt Storm gained the other Hrst place in the high jump. In the night relays at Mattoon, Storm won first place in the high jump and HLefty', Carmack won third place in the pole vault. The boys had little luck in the Urbana relays, winning only three points. ln running off the district track meet held here the Green and Gold won third place, due almost entirely to the field events. Walt Storm, Harold Carmack, and Matheny earned the right to go to the state meet held at Champaign, by placing well in the events. Walt Storm took first place in the high jump, Matheny second in the broad jump and Carmack second in the pole vault. The Mattoon lads tied for seventh place in the Big 12 meet held at Peoria. The only first place medal was won by Carmack in the pole vault. Metzelaars won third in the 220 yard low hurdles. The track squad was small, although there was a large increase over the prc- ceding year. The lettermen were: Mettler, Huddleston, Rice, W. Storm, Grafton, Williams, Blare, Metzelaars, Matheny, Monson, Record, Carmack, J. Storm. SENICDR CLASS PLAY OF I937 The Senior Class of 1937 presented Wfhe Bishop Misbehavesw as a final outlet for its dramatic capacities, receipts being used for rental of caps and gowns.

The cast included Gerald Homann, Marguerite- Aldridge, Kenneth Sutherland, Jerry Weiss, Robert Hull, Marjorie Harris, Norman Hannah, Jack Nugent, Clayton Hayes and Don Bouck.
