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.
