As S fi E1 S S EN IOIQS JLJN no RS SOPHOMORES L I -' sENioR CLQASS Grandma, look! We found this old Riddle! Yes, children. That was my last year in high school. Would you like to hear about it? Well, that was long ago, but to me it seems only yesterday. All the exciting things we did then may seem queer and funny to you now, but I'll never forget them. I can remember the football games-of course we played football then-and all our heroes. l was in the ,band, children, and we had to march up and down the muddy field at every game. lt doesn't seem so bad, now. You can't imagine your old Granny marching, can you? We had parties, too. l can re- member the big Homecoming. lt was such a marvelous success. And there were other parties. The R. O. T. C. ball was one, and the fall party, and an afternoon party-oh, all kinds of parties. And then came the basketball season. We had some top-notch Seniors on that team! Why, we carried off the regional trophy! Then I'll never forget the trip the Seniors took to Casey. We stayed all day. lt was interesting, and so much fun. There was a gym show my Senior year, too. lt was then that the May Queen was crowned. I see you are smiling at those pictures. Yes, they do look funny now, don't they? And here's one of the French Club . . . and one of the band. Both of them worked terribly hard on their conference and contests. But the sweetest memories of all were Spring, and the Junior-Senior Prom, and the class play. l was beginning to feel as if I were leaving a mother, and then came Commencement, and all the good times . . . were . . . iust about . . . over , . . and . . . Look, Jimmy! Grandma's asleep! i N N 4 4 Kenneth Langston: Tall, dark and kenny s i n g l Mixed Chorus and Boys' Glee Club 2, 35 Operetta 35 R. O. T. C. Cor- poral 3, 4.

Each step increases our knowledge and our under- standing of problems that are going on about us, each step brings us a little nearer to the goal we are seeking-whether it be a diploma and a job at the end of high school or a degree and a job at the end of college. We Juniors have now attained that step which shows whether we are going to take the path towards success or the path towards failure. This is shown by our attitude towards school work, school life, and the activities in which we participate. Here are a few of the Juniors classed according to the activities in which they are most outstanding: Jeanne Kersten, Roy Lechner, Cyn- thia Talbot lbandlg Berdina Olmsted, Marjorie Ross, Betty Copeland lRiddleI, Betty Checkley, Rosemary Chuse lMirrorlg Jane Moore, Bette Barth, Onda Hanley lGym Showlg Jack Seibert, Joe Horton, Grant Fleenor, Don Shaw lteaml.

From the Mattoon High School Gym we're broadcasting to you the Sophomore Roundup. This is a big evening for the Sophomores, for the Roundup is the first of its kind ever held in Mattoon. All the activities in which the members of the class participate are represented. As we sort out the various groups we'll tell you the Sophomores who are representing them. Just coming through the door are the members of the basketball B team: Frank Vandever, Joe Spitz, Don Henderson, Matt Barr and Bill Tolle. The boys look as it they're ready for a gala time, and I think they'll have it. Absorbed in the orchestra are a few members ot the band: Bob Faris, Glen McWilliams, Jean Shoatt and Norma Jean Doty. The Sophomores surely have added to the band this year, as they have to every activity. Virginia Randall, Marjorie Nash, Bette Corn and Norma Jean Carlyle are representing the G. A. A. All are ace basketball and volleyball players and they also took o large part in the Gym Show this Spring. Some of our Scrubs, Louise Riddle, Mary Jean Brinkley, Dick Ross and Marcus Smith are huddled in a corner. The Scrubs are standing up pretty well through their hazing, but as yet haven't found any outside activities. You know-there's a saying, There's something about a soldier, and Bill Henry, Ray McWilliams and Dick Karns certainly do look trim in their uniforms. Mattoon is again an honor school. Oiur songsters representing the Glee Club and Mixed Chorus are Mary June Bland, Donna Joyce Brackin, Dick Phillips and Ben Smith. The literary group, representing the Mirror and the Riddle, are en- gaged in a deep discussion-probably about the outcome of the war or some such thing. Upholding the prestige ot the Riddle are Jack Sparks, Howard Croswhite, Jean Poorman, Marjorie Timmons, Bob Kelly. Mary Anne Hampson and Musabelle Coons are delegates of the Mirror. We'll take leave ot the Sophomore Class and let them go ahead with their round-up. As a parting thought we want you to remember The old order changeth, yielding place to new, and remember that in another two years, the Sophomore Class will be running the High School.

R I D D L E S T F F Way down yonder in Miss Lutz's room-that's where the Riddle comes out. If the walls of that room could talk, they'd tell a fantastic tale of a frantic literary staff, tearing their hair over a last minute writeupg the Advertising staff dashing out of Miss Orr's room at all hours to collect for an ad, or the Photography staff laboring far into the night to identify pictures. Houston Jerdan, the editor, spends half his wakeful hours in Miss Lutz's room. Houie can almost be identified by the brown brief case containing dummies ofthe Riddle, which is always with him. The heads of staffs try desperately to impress their staffs with the idea that the work must be done, that the Riddle will not wait for them. John Russell can be seen all over school, taking pictures and conferring with Miss Lutz. John and his staff have worked hard this year, for the l94O Riddle contains more pictures than any previous yearbook. Salesmen come and salesmen go, leaving different covers and ideas. lt's no easy task to choose a single cover from a host of novel ideas. Yet the editor and advisers must do this, and also juggle the financial side of the yearbook. The frantic pleas of the staff to the subscribers may constantly be seen on the upper and lower study hall boards, and the Circulation Staff may often be seen sweating over receipts at noon and after school in the lower hall. So now you may understand why a member of the Riddle Staff slightly shudders before going into Miss Lutz's room, but nevertheless, he digs into his work, and the Riddle comes out on time!

GIRLS GLEE C LUB On any Monday or Wednesday evening after school, if you happened to be on the north side of the building, you would very likely have heard sweet strains of music drifting out on the breezes. That, in case you didn't know, was the Girls' Glee Club. lf you had stopped to listen you might have heard The Lost Chord, Why? Flower of Dreams, Ave Maria and many other lovely songs. The Glee Club's first appearance was with the Mixed Chorus at the Baptist Church, where they sang Ave Maria. Then they went with the Chorus to Champaign to attend the Music Festival. That, of course, was grand. But the best treat of the year was the Rotary dinner at the Hotel U. S. Grant in May, which is an annual affair for the Girls' Glee Club. Ah! What a luscious meal! And what courteous escorts! For that occasion the Glee Club sang The Lost Chord, which had been requested by Mr. Black. The last appearances were with the Chorus at the graduation exercises. M l X E D C H O R U S At 8:05 Miss .lulsrud looks at the clock with the 'Cherubim Song,' and see if we can ing note, the pianist strikes the tone on which a few windows. Maybe that will wake you up of l.ife. Ah! We are right on pitch! That Y and starts marking down the absentees. Then . . . Let's start keep on pitch. Remember now, think high. As we sing the clos- we SHOULD be, Oooh! What a discord! Miss Julsrud says, Open We try again. lt's better this time, so we go on to the Music is much better. After trying several numbers with varying suc- cess, we look at the clock. lt's almost time to leave, but not quite. A boy starts to go out the door. No, sit down, boys .... All right, now you may go. Before Christmas the Mixed Chorus sang at the Baptist Church. Then on May 4 they went to the Big Twelve Music Festival. That was really wonderful! The mass chorus was something that will be remembered for a long time. The year ended with the Chorus singing for Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. R. O. T. C.

After more practice and the use of more ammunition they entered the William Randolph Hearst Trophy competition and again fell short of first place. Major Forster plans for more intensive training of first year men to have a full supply of well-trained, experienced marksrnen in the future and a few new trophies. . . T . . Dress Right, Dress. Ready, Frank! Take BeaIl's name. Beall, dress at arm's length. Try it again. Our new commander, Major Horace W. Forster, U. S. Cavalry, brought a new drill and plan of organization. This new streamlined organization is quite different from last year's methods and had many of the veterans busy learning the new, forgetting the old and keeping their names off the demerit book. The officers had to watch their step, too. But with Major Forster's guidance, Sergeant Jones' help, and a new manual, we improved enough to slog through .Kinzel Field's mud on Armistice Day, and to survive in- spection in March by Lt. Colonel Rhett from Chicago and Federal Inspection in May. There was also the usual Memorial Day parade. That the new drill in no way impaired the dancing abilities of our soldiers was shown at the Military Ball just before Christmas vacation. x, 1. ,, 1 ffb A V 1 Wi, . 63- N. we .M ,XA 3 .

Everyone sits tensely with his eyes glued to the baton, waiting for the moment to start playing to the two judges seated above in a balcony. During a few measures rest some one glances unolntrusively in the direction of the judges just in time to see one of them start writing frantically on the criticism sheet, while the other merely sits and looks, noticing the multi-colored shoes, girls' bright hair ribbons, tapping feet, and all the various and sundry things that take a band from first to second division. Soon, all the nervousness is gone, leaving in its place only the will to win. This year the band received first place in the State Contest, with the recommendation to compete in the National Contest at Battle Creek, Michigan. lt was the first time in the history of the band that it received such on honor. ' One of Mr. Elliott's pet theories is that solo and ensemble work tend to strengthen the band by concentrating upon the individual members. This has certainly proved to be the case, for in the last few years the band has progressed farther than ever before. Two years ago two members of the band went to the National Contest, held in Elkhart, Indiana. Lost year a bus had to be chartered to carry ensembles and two soloists to Indianapolis, Indiana. This year Mattoon will be represented in Battle Creek, Michigan, by eight ensembles and ten soloists. xl' SENIOR CLASS PLAY OF '39 SITTING-Elizabeth Podesta, Joan Sheeks, Wilma Noe, Mary Margaret Sherer, Elizabeth Hehricks.

RUTH JONES MARJORIE DOWNING MARGARET ASHWORTH VIRGINIA ROSS Senior Class Play of '39 The Passing of the Third Floor Back, by Jerome K. Jerome, was one of the most original plays of any that have been given by a Senior Class. The play was an idle fancy in which it was shown that the good which lurks in the hearts of everyone can be brought to the surface. The Stranger, Glenn Ross, who came to stay at a cheap boarding house in London,.was the one who sub- tly reformed the assortment of rogues, cheats, bullies, etc., who also boarded there. After he had done his duty he left to help show other people their better selves. Outstanding performances were given by Nita Kersten as the Slavey, Robert Thatcher as the Retired Book- maker, Glenn Ross as the Stranger and Elizabeth Podesta as the maiden lady, in fact, every person gave a truly excellent performance of his or her part. The American Festival The gym show is a biennial affair which is always looked forward to with great anticipation by everyone. This year, under the able direction of Miss Bowman and the costuming of Miss Houston, The American Festival, was presented. Several typical American scenes were used by the gymnasts, including a rodeo, in which the tumblers did their stuff, a trip to Sun Valley, where the audience enjoyed watching a skaters' waltz, a football game in the Rose Bowl, and a day in New York City, with folk dances typifying that metropolis. Several special dances were performed, of which a drum dance by Bette Barth, and o Highland Shoddish by Hattie Edmiston and Joanne Ladet were notable. Then came a moment to which all had been looking forward. Amid a lovely color scheme of the patriotic red, white and blue, and while Betty Lanman sang God Bless America, the May Q e n, followed by her court and the crown-bearer, came slowly up the isle, When she reached her throne she as rowned by the presi- dent of the Student Council, as is the custom in Mattoon High School. 3 ftlflf l.,!lili.52 .f D lil?

The second game of the season the team traveled to Champaign and Champaign won out in the last four minutes by a 7 to 6 score. For the third game they played our old rivals on a rainy night. Charleston scored a touch- down the second quarter which Mattoon could not equal. The Green and Gold then met Pana and for the fourth time straight M. H. S. was defeated. The score was I2 to O. They then played Danville, who happened to be tough that night and won i9 to O. Our gridiron boys then went to Decatur and played a very good game but they lost out in the fourth quarter l2-7. The Green Wave next played Urbana and the Urbana boys took them into camp by a 6-O score. After losing seven straight games the tide turned, and they traveled to Terre Haute, lnd., where they defeated Gerstmeyer 7-6 in the last quarter of play. This gave the boys encouragement and they de- feated Streator 20 to i3 in a free scoring game.

Getting better as the season progressed the Green Wave concluded its basket season with twelve victories matched against an equal number of defeats. The only conference win was the conquest of the Decatur Reds in the first meeting of the two teams. Our team vanquished them by a score of Z9-24. Mattoon proved equally good on the road or at home, winning six and losing a similar number of games on both occasions. Although the record doesn't show us to be outstanding, Mattoon has a fast team that was noted through- out the state for its speed. Our team was also renowned for its fighting spirit and on no less than nine occas- ions was nosed out by five points or less. The locals hit their stride near the end of the season and marched away with the regional trophy for first place. They lost to Paris in the second game of our own sectional tourney. The Tigers squelched us 35-30. M. H. S. amassed 763 points to outscore their opponents who garnered only 736 markers. Joe Helmbacher was high point man, tallying 238 counters. M's were given to Charles Authenreith, Paul Curry, Louis Darling, Grant Fleenor, Joe Helmbacher, Joe Horton, Dwain Knowles, Jack Seibert, Ralph Seibert ancl Jack Timmons. Art O'Neal and Wendell Keran were given honorary letters for participating in basketball throughout the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades. Letter- men who will be back next year for all season are Authenreith, Fleenor, Horton, J. Seibertg Darling and Knowles will be back tor a half year.

They were in two relays and the District and Big Twelve meets. At the Urbana Re- lays they registered tour points, with Fred Protz capturing second place in the halt mile run. They went to Paris for the Tiger Relays and didn't place very high. At the Big Twelve meet they finished eighth. Timmons placed in the broad jump, Jack Seibert in the high jump, and Protz captured fourth in the 880 yard run. ln the district meet here l4V2 points were earned with Timmons' winning the broad jump and Snapp, the javelin.
