E, YALE 0' . . tftinturzal C' The past year has been a very successful and satisfactory one in work and in play as the saying is. As to the laboring part of it, some great amount of perspiration must have been lost, for our honor rolls have been lengthened, stretched, and its ranks increased until they are amazing in their size. Not only are the students' efforts tallied in this manner, but the faculty mem- bers report honest and conscientious effort on the part of many individuals. One example of the work and cooperation of the students is the 2nd Annual Irish Carnival. It went over the top with a t'bang! On the other hand recreation has also played an important and propor- tionate part in our school life. Several parties under the auspices of students and teachers have been enjoyed. A new organization under the name of the Pierrot and Pierrette Dramatic Club has been formed for the purpose of furthering the cause of better play-production. Our athletic teams have put up a good fight and have done themselves credit. The Second Annual Foot- Ball Banquet was held in February and was a rousing success. Mr. Jack, Mr. Sillars. and Miss Fiekes are to be especially commended for their whole- hearted cooperation and tireless efforts in promoting the activities of our school. WVC Seniors feel a great responsibility this annual. NVe feel rather timid, kind creation will be welcomed by its receivers. sincerely hope that it will give them some to express our appreciation of the literary has been placed upon us in editing of hopeful, yet uncertain how our XVe wish to say however, that we amount of pleasure. VVe also want assistance of Miss Lola Krause and of the help Mr. Hopkins has given us in our class song. Besides those specific! ally mentioned, we wish to thank all other contributors who have helped us make our Animal what it is.

History of ihe Class of '24 From the beginning ot' the world it was marked o11 Father Times' calendar that Sept. 6, l920 would be o11e of the most eventful days of history. For on that day it 031116 to pass that the t'lass of '24, composed of H10l'8 flltlll one llUl1-- dred students, made its debut at the Mendota Township High School. Unlike other freshinen. we were never CIlllJ2ll'l'I1SS6d or ill at ease. The smiles and stares that were cast at us by the other siudcnts we returned with broader smiles Ellld longer stares. So it W21Sllif long until o11r neighbors learned that we weren't ordinary freshmen things to he tampered withf' and hence-- forth decided to treat us as their equals. At our first class meeting. Arthur Mans was elected president Zllltl Mr. Yates, class adviser. Shortly after, our class colors orange and black we1'e chosen. During this year we participated in all school affairs. ln athletics the freshnian boys acquitted themselves creditably and gave promise of being tu- turc athletes. We closed the year by the Freshman-Sophoniore picnic at Starred Rock. Our sophomore year was begun lllltlfxl' the leadership of James VVitte as president tllld Mr. Yale as class adviser . This year in athletics some sophomore boys played 011 the first team and wo11 lettersg others won numerals. They asserted their superiority over the other athletes by winning thc inter-class football tournament. In all other school affairs our class was well represented. -The year was ended by a Fresl1111an-Sophomore picnic at f'oon's Grove. lVhen Sept. 1922 came it found our class hack at Mendota High as Ju11iors. Mr. Yale was again chosen class adviver a11d Edward Schwarz as president. As i11 the preceding two years, the Junior class played a prominent part i11 all school activities. XYe were well represented in athletics as several Juniors played 011 the first tea111s i11 all sports. Four of our 111en won letters i11 foot- ball, three in basket-hall and three i11 track. Near the close of the year our class play was given. This showed that our class also possessed lllfllly talented actors a11d actresses. The year was closed by the Junior-Senior t'prom in the high school gym. NYC retur11ed this year, resolved that we would make our Senior year the f'l'OVl'11l11g' success of our high school career. Edward Schwarz president, illld Miss Coffey and Mr. Yale as class advisers were elected to guide us to our goal.

TWENTY-SIX A Mid Summer-Nfghf,S Dream of 1924 Across the western sky the tiaunting shadows of the dying day were flung- Blood red they spread their proud defiance to the stealthy night that crept across the heavens. My thoughts were not of them. Dim were my eyes with dreams. In one small moment all these earthly glories were swept away and I was i11 a far-way paradise. Here all the glories of the fading sunset were imprisoned in the Garden. Could it be possible that l was in thc Garden of Many Dc- lights? I had not long to wait until 1 was in the presence of Tu San, the mighty ruler. The rich robes partly covered his face and I was unable to see his features. After a few minutes he slowly uncovered his face and I gazed at him in wonder and disbelief. Did my eyes deeeiye me? It was none other than Edward Schwarz, our former class president. Only a slight contraction of his eyebrow indicated that he remembered or cared to recognize me in my humble position. He clapped his hands and a dozen beautiful young girls, dressed in oriental attire, appeared. Somewhere the distant sound of oriental music could be heard. I gazed about thc glazed tile walls in reareh of the players. In a far corner of the room were Edwin Breuer and Margaret Cooper beating on Tom-toms. As they played the girls danced to the weird music. Back and forth they swayed in all the splendor of the fantastic dance until, at the clap of the emperor 's hands, they removed their yeils. To my surprise and delight I recognized Myrtle McDonald, Gwendolyn Edwards, Elizabeth Sauer, Grace Hotchkiss. Flaribel Muzzy, and Layenia McDonald. They bowed grandly before the emperor and were then dismissed. The remaining six formed an artistic group on the cushioned floor at the soyereign's feet. At first I did not recognize them, but they were none other than Esther Kreis, Maud Butler, Lucile Buck, Grace Kite, Esther Miller, and Violet Truedson. Could these be the same girls that were onec so demure and timid? NVhen the dancers were dismissed, the emperor again clapped his hands and a 111311, dressed as a guide, entered and he was bidden to :how me all the wonders of the Garden. I followed him in silence into the adjoining room which far surpassed the former in all its splendor. A crowd of gaily dressed people were making merry, and turning to the guide, I inquired the meaning of the fcstivity. As he tui'ned to answer me, I was startled at the striking resemblance to a former class-mate. On questioning him I learned only by his evaded answers that he was Oliver Jeanblanc. 'The crowd was gathered around a circular platform, and as we drew near I saw two midgets performing before the excited audience. My guide asked me if I did 11ot recognize themg for a minute l did not, but on a closer scrutiny I discerned Robert Sonntag and Arthur Krenz. The people seemed to enjoy the performance very much, as they rocked back and forth with laughter. A short, stout lady was standing in front of me and she, in particular. seemed to enjoy it. As she swayed with laughter, she lost her balance and fell back- ward knocking the breath out of me. As she turned around to apologize I TWENTY- EIGHT saw that it was l'lliz11I1vtl1 Ii4141t1c-l1411'.

A noisy group was seated opposite a11d a heated argument was taking plaee between the two groups. As I listened I diseovered Leo Roth, Isabel Billings, Vera Rave, Leon Bohy. Frank Boyle, and Frank Preseott. Suddenly the room was quiet, and we waited in expectation for the toast. She had seareely uttered the first word when the loud ringing of a bell was plainly heard. A great seutfling of feet and the upsetting ot ehairs tailed to make me realize what was taking plaee. The wine glass fell unheeded to the tloor, and l' eould plainly make out the figures of lJeNVitt Shed, Valentine Sehmehr, Merle Rapp, Kenneth Davis, Karl Brunner, George Elsesser, and NVilber Johnson as they stumbled over one another in the rush for the door. At last the truth dawned on meg the long arm of the law had reaehed this plaee! I was alone in this horrible danger-glued to the ehairg deserted by n1y guideg l felt a strong stern hand upon my shoulder, shaking me until my teeth ehattered. Still I eould not moveg I remained speechless. Again the grim hand shook mel hvllill- would l give to be away from this awful plaee? I jumped with a start! I was in the assembly with Miss Nauman standing be- side me. In a minute it all eame baek to me like a tlash. I had fallen asleep in the fifth period and the hells had tailed to awaken me for the noon-hour. -4Marguerite Parsons. Class Will We, the Seniors ot the M. T. ll.

Sealed as our last will and testament. -Lavenia McDonald. A SENIOR,S FAREWELL lt is with mingled feelings of pleasure and regret that we bow before the footlights and niake our little speech before the curtain rises on the last scene of our drama. XVe feel that we must make the speech, for there are so many of our achievements that would otherwise go unrecorded. Then, too, we wish to give our successors sorre advice, that may enable them to shun pitfalls into which we have unwarily stepped. In membership our class numbers 72. A finer lot of graduates you have never seen-pardon us for saying it. For strength of character we cannot be equaled. Nevertheless we have a elass spirit which the lower classes will do well to note. Harmony is our watchword. XVO look back with pride on our school record. Vie have come up through great tribulation, but our trials have made our success the sweeter. Our struggle for 'ffreedomn against many limitations', has been long and hard, but we wish to say that the prize is worth the effort. Even Miss Ravlin confesses she never saw such a lot of papers or a lot of such papers, as we have handed in to her. Our work in English, however, has been very successful. Vile are sure of this. Our power is felt even by the fac- ulty, for one of our teachers rerrarked on.e day that the Seniors ran the school. In spite of all our successes our heads have not been turned. But in truth our jesting covers up a far deeper feeling than we care to show. Although we have longed to trv our pinions in the wide, wide world, still as the time draws near our joy is mingled with sorrow. Our school life has been happy, and so many sweet memories eling 'round the dear old school that we almost wish we were not Seniors. The beautiful influence of our teachers has taken deep root in our hearts, and, we hope, will bear abundant fruit in our future life. VVe can never thank enough these noble men and women who have done so much in shaping our lives. VVe stand as a part of the monument they are daily building for themselves in the lives of their pupils. Full of faults though we are, we hope to do credit to our teachers in the years to come. And now, we give the reins into the hands of our worthy successors, the Juniors. NVe wish them success in their Senior year. Farewell ........................,.. Seniors of 1924.

THIRTY-FIVE By the third year, the army of forty-nine soldiers was well on to its job and was placed under the leadership of Maxwell Barrett and was again guided by Miss Fiekes. The members of the force gained more battles in the forests of Latin, Science, and English and won another victory at French Mountain and History Lane. They also marched against several i7onnnereial cities whe1'e they captured a Hstenographer's knowledge. It certainly must be known that these many battles eouldn't have been won so easily had it not been tor the athletic training which Privates Edwards. McDonald, Spenader, and General Scheidenhelm had had. They were also en- couraged by the musicians: Privates Schmidt, Zapf, and Heiman.

High School Freshman Chuck full ot pride they vainly march, Into High School as stiff as starch. And yet it is plain to be seen, , That they are odd, awkward and green. Their ways no doubt will give a shock, Because they are the Hlaughing-stock. But with their 'tnervef' their pep and Hseopef' Theylll fill the world with faith and hope. By Big Ricliu Evansville, Imlitma. A Freshman's View of the Chicago-Illinois Football Game This game was one which aroused more interest among the people than any other game of the season of 1923. It was played between the two great Universities of the State of Illinois between which a great rivalry has existed for a long time. Vvlhen the day of the game finally arrived, there was much excitement in Champaign and Urbana for thousands ot people from all parts of the United Champaign and Urbana for thousands ot people from all parts of the United States fiocked there to witness the game. Early in the morning it began to drizzle making everything sloppy and muddy. As the time tor the game drew near people and cars li11ed the streets on the way to the Stadium. Everybody and everything was covered with mud. The Stadium was soon packed and people did not have to wait long for the program. The Chicago and Illinois bands both paraded the field and then the tlag was raised over the Stadium tor the first time. Then the great game began. It was exciting from beginning to end as the teams were very evenly matched. It seems however, that lllini won because of their wonder man Grange who broke through the t hieago line again and again and finally he went over for a touchdown. A l think it is worth anybody 's time to see a Varsity Football game. Arthur Bush. '27.

The officers of the club for this year are as follows: President, Lottie VVolf, Vice President, Gwendolyn Edwardsg Secretary, Myrtle McDonald, Treasurer, Grace Heiman. One of the chief functions which the organization strives to promote is the creation of a closer unity between the school and the home. Another pur- pose of this club is the bringing together of the members of the two classes, whereby both are mutually benefited, Membeis of either classes of former ycars, who are still in school, are invited to membership in this club. Our outstanding understakings ot the year thus far, have been the Foot- ball Banquct, at which sixty-six people were served, and the Father and Son Banquet of the t'Ag.H boys. Both ot' these were handled with ease, showing competence, as regards planning on the part olf the instructor, and earnest, effi- cient cooperation on the part of the club members. It was decided to entertain our mothers at a Christmas party. In order to introduce the personal element and to use all the members of both classes, also to give a demonstration of their training, each girl of the sewing class made a gift for her mother. while the cooking class served a delicious two course luncheon. Later the girls entertained themselves at a Scramble Supper. The supper was preceded by a varied program, after which the evening was spent in games. 'The i'Ag.l' boys gave us a, party in the gym, at which they proved them- selves pleasing entertainers. Later we returned the compliment by giving them a party. NVe consider this a vcry successful year and we look forward to another active one.

Q FIFTY-ONE Agricultural Department The aim of the Agrieultural Department is to better prepare the farm boys to assume the agrieultural leadership of their eonnnunities. The eourses offered are all based upon the type of farming of the eom- munity. They all link the praetieal work with the theory, making a very def irable eombination. Soils and Crops are olfered to freshmen. It leads the way for better agri- eulture in the eommunity. Sueh subjects as farm erops, seed eorn testing, weed identitieation, legumes, manures, fruits of all kinds, spraying, pruning, soil fertility and the use ol' a rotation are taught. This eourse is well rounded and should be taken by every boy who intends to farm. The seeond year eourse, Animal Husbandry, is a study of the animals upon the farm, their eare and management. Sueh subjeets heridity, animal breeding. pedigrees, Shorthorn history, feeding and balaneing rations, eastra- ting, doeking, eaponizing and stoek judging are studied. Farm Management has been supplemented by Farm Meehanies. About one hundred dollars in equipment was added to take eare ot this phase ot the work. Sueh additional studies as use of eonerete, tin, leather and pipe work was taken up. We hope to expand this department next year so that it will take the full year for the ineehanies alone. Our Fair exhibit this year was placed in the Floral Hall so that it was necessary to eut down in spaee. The exhitits r-onsisted of the eradieation of the eommon Barberry, Alfalfa, use of Limestone and Blue prints. January 30th and 31st the department held their animal Farmers Institute. This year the Institute was tor the men. exeept the evening session. The pro- gram was one ot the best, held in the High Sr-hool. The speakers were Frank I. Mann of Gilman, Lyle Funk ot Bloomington. J. B. Rice of Marseilles, and Chas. Snyder of Vhieago. The exhibits consisted of a erop rotation planned for a neighboring farm, showing it as it is now and how it would be when finishedg methods and materials in eonstrueting fenee posts, and a standard balaneed ration for poultry. A eommunity Library tor use of rural sehools was put into eireulation by the department. U. S. Department and State bulletins were sent out to the various sehools eaeh month and they were returned the following month and a new buneh sent out. Another step forward is the group meetings of the eountry boys in the rural sehool at the high sehool under the Ag. Department. These boys are given an insight into the agrieultural work being eondueted at the high school. AGRICULTURAL CLUB The Agrieultural Club eleeted their officers for this year last June. They were as follows :-George Faulhaber, Presidentg Milton Dewey, Viee-President, Henry Bauman, Secretary, James MeDonald, Treasurer. The objects ot the Club are to improve the soc-ial conditions of its members and for the advaneernent of seientitie agrieulture in the eomniunity.

FIFTY-EIGHT AIM QUIK g fwumi ' W Y T? 1,1 !l 'i'-1ll'l l' 1llllW ! l NAkll0 The Band and Orchestra It is by no means an easy task to take a group of students, most of Whom know little or nothing about niusic, and produce a successful band and or- chestra. This has been accomplished by Mr. J. Frank Hopkins during the past year. The majority of the orchestra members of the previous year were seniors and therefore there remained only a few with which to start this years work. They have entertaind many audiences and their efforts have always merited applause. They play advanced grades of music although many may think that first -grade music would be all that could be attempted by 'these be- ginners. Splendid progress is very noticable in the advance from a simple little waltz to such selections as the Sextet from Lucia de Lammermoorf' Their man object has been to promote the love and appreciation of classical and good modern music. 'There is no doubt that much has been accomplished. This department is one of the new institutions in the school, which would be greatly missed if it should be suddenly taken away from us. The members of the band are as follows: Solo Clarinet, Leon Bohyg lst Clarinet, Arthur Bushg 2nd Clarinet, Tcnnie Davisg 3rd Clarinet, Fern VVal- laceg lst Saxophone, Robert Gardnerg 2nd Saxophone, Richard Leiserg Solo Cornet, Alvin Schildbergg 1st Cornet, Herbert Klattg 2nd Cornet, Clarence Seheidenhelmg 3rd Cornet, Leslie Millcrg 1st Alto, Clifford Petersong 2nd Alto, Frank Kiddg Tuba, Theodore Rosenkranzg Side Drum, Theodore Henningg Bass Drum, Jessie Witteg Cymbals, Darlene Browng Baritone, J.

Leonard is just the average young American clerk, one of the kind who read all the Success stories and the 'iKnow Thyselfl' advertisements in the magazines and believe them and who buy grape fruit farms in Florida.

He was very fortunate. however. in having exeellent material from last year's rquatl, anal after two weeks ot' hartl tlrilling the eleven was reafly. Let us eongxratulate the eoaeh antl the team tor the snap ancl pep whieh they maintaineml througrhout the season anal whieh hrought sueh 21tlIllll'2llll0 results. The opening game ol' the season, at Walnut. was an easy vietory for the home team, with a final seore ot' 41-0. The tollowingg week at Santlwieh was a repetition of the Walnut game, with even a largrer st-ore tor Nlenslota antl a marlietl improvement on the team work. The next week the team traveletl to Spring' Valley to meet their first' tle- t'eat. lloweyer. they tleserve mueh eretlit tor holtling a team of sueh ealihre as Spring! Valley to the low sc-ore of ti-0. Dixon playetl on the lor-al tielcl next, hut clue to unpleasant weather eon- clitionr' neither team was ahle to tlo any exeeptional playing. antl the result was a 0-0 tie. On Oet. 20th. Ottawa proveml themselves the hetter team hy clet'eatin,Q' Mendota T-0. The loeal eleven put up a great aletensive hattle, hut taileml with the nec-essary seore. The seeontl game at Santlwieh was the only up set ot' the SCUSOII. Due to over eontidenee anal the rehuiltling ot' another team the game was a 0-0 tie. although the Sanclwieh team was eompletely outelassetl hy the Menclota men. The most speetaeular game ot' the season was playetl on Nov. 2 when Mendota tietl LaSalle-Peru 12-12. Real t'oothall was playetl hy two evenly matehetl teams anal the result was an intensely ext-iting' glame. Massey and NVoocls tlitl some very superior work. The game encletl with a grand tinale. when. with only -L5 seeontls to play antl Blentlota on the 338 yarcl line, Spenatler sigfnaletl tor a plaee liieli. the only possihle ehanee ot tying' the seore, anal Massey kielietl the hall from a very mlit:t'erent angle squarely hetween the posts. The next week St. lietle's Vollege atlministeretl Mentlota's worst tleteat. The loeal men heltl the seore at 0-0 the tirst halt. During the seeentl halt' tour ot' the Mentlota men were toreerl to leave the same heeause ot' injuries. ancl as a result the team was greatly wealienesl. the tinal seore heing' lti-0 in St. l3erle's favor, ttn Nov. lTth the liewanee team was tleteatetl on the home tieltl hy a seore ot 46-0. The loeal hoys were hanclieappeml hy the ahsenee ot' Massey, hut proved their worth with l ergIuson as eaptain. The next game was playetl at Morris, where, in spite ol' the t'aet that the hoyfz were seareely up to par the game entletl with a 21-0 seore in favor ot lllenclota, three toueh clowns heing matle in the last halt. Un Thanksgiving Day, Alenclota playetl Princeton on the latterls field in a sea ol' mutl rluring a clrizzling rain. Fumhles were frequently macle hy EIGHTY-ONE both teams, but Mendota proved themselves superior by closing the score 15-0. XVitte's spectacular runs led by a mass interference was the feature of this game. Captain Massey, Maus, NVitte, Ferguson, Brown, Guilfoyle, Schwarz, Woods, and Elsesser, playing their last game, showed the fighting spirit and stamina that is so characteristic of Mendota players. SECOND FOOTBALL TEAM A new custom was organized this year when it was decided to give numerals to all the boys who participated in football. Most of these boys while not being able to win a berth on the first team practiced faithfully, putting in many hours, and living up to thc training rules. Coach Jack arranged several games for these boys, the first one being played with Amboy resulting in a victory for Mendota. In the second quarter Capt. Arnold Massey com- pleted a pass for the only touchdown while Gillette drop-kicked a goal for the extra point. The final score was 7 to 0. Several weeks later the team journeyed to Amboy and due to inclement weather and a muddy field the teams battled to a 0 to 0 tie. Neither team could make any progress. They also played a regular game against the Varsity but could not withstand the vicious onslaught of the heavier boys. The final score was G5 to 0 in favor of the Varsity. They played two games with the all stars composed of some of the best material of Mr. Sillars' Gym. classes. The seconds were victorious both times, first game 6 to 0 and the second game 26 to 6. Those winning numerals were: Capt. Arnold Massey, Dorsey Deaner, VVillard Young, Archie Smith, George Elsesser, John Erle Edwards, Leo Roth, Frank Gillette, VVayne Laws, Milton Dewey, Perry Lewis, Alvin Schildberg, Elred Bock, and Kenneth Davis. These boys will constitute the first team next year as many of the positions will have to be filled.

EIGHTYAFIVE REVIEW OF BASKETBALL SEASON The basketball season of 1923-24 was a grand success. Starting out with only two letter men, Coach Jack was confronted with the task of building a new team. Mendota joined the newly organized Rock River Valley Con- ference and was in the running up until the last two games, 'Why the season can be called a grand success was because the team scored two victories over Dixon,, something which has never been done previously and also won a vie- tory over Earlville for the first time in three years. Another result of a sue- cessful season was that the team battled through until the finals in the LaSalle District Tournament. The opening gun of the basketball season was fired on Jan. 4th, when the Sandwich basketeers invaded the local gym. As it was the first game of the season defects could be easily seen. Mendota displayed good team-work and showed excellent prospects. The final score was a victory for Mendota 16 to 12. The following' week the team travelled west where they met the fast Kewanee aggregation. This was the sixth game played by Kewanee and they were in better form than Mendota. Due to the excellent work of our team the score was held to a 20 to 15 defeat. On Jan. 18 the first conference game was played with Rochelle. This game was a thriller from start to finish. One team would score and then the other. Rochelle lead at the half 9 to 8. -The last half was featured by close guarding and the seore was a tie 11 to ll at the end of the third quarter. Mendota put up a brave fight but could not stand the furious pace of Rochelle's veteran aggregation. Mendota lost this game 19 to 14. For tl1e first time in history, Mendota defeated Dixon on their own floor, Jan. 25th. The score was 28 to 22. Dixon lead 9 to 3 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter Mendota overcame this lead and at the end of the half was leading 15 to 13. The last half Mendota outplayed her' op- ponents in all departments of the game. Brown was the leading scorer being responsible for 13 points. The following week, Dixon came to Mendota for the return game, but the score was more decisively in favor of Mendota 24 to 13. The team played a good offensive game. Klinge proved to be the star of the game with 6 baskets and 3 free throws. The night following the Dixon game, the team went to Sandwich where they were defeated 25 to 11. In the last quarter the team staged a comeback, but could not overcome the score that Sandwich had piled up. Mendota won a victory over Earlville 13 to 9 on February 5. The boys played a wonderful game easily outclassing Earlville. The score was 10 to 2 at the end of the half. Mendota's defensive was the best displayed all season. 'Witte who took Klinge's place at forward did splendid work.

EIGHTY-SEVEN KIWANIS LUNCHEON On Monday, Deeemher 17, 1923, the football team was a guest at a deli- cious luncheon at the Depot Hotel given by the Kiwanis Club of the city. After the meal a program was given. Mr. Sillars sang several songs impersonating Harry Laude1'. Mr. C. P. Gardner, chairman, then called on Clarence Jack. He thanked the members of the Kiwanis Club for the luncheon and said he was glad to know the Club was behind the athletics of the sehool. Dan Massey tollowed this with a short talk. Mr. George Huff, director ot' Athletics at the University of Illinois was next introduced. He was chosen by the Kiwanis to address the team because he was formerly a Mendota ball player. He spoke ot the time when he played football with A. W. Bush, a Mendota man. Then he went o11 and told of the advances and advantages ot Athletics. His talk was voted an inspiration by all present. MR. HUFF AT THE HIGH SCHOOL Later in the day Mr. Huff addressed the Assembly along the lines of athletics and lite. It proved to be the best talk heard for a long time. The sehool appreciates the efforts shown by the Kiwanis Vlub and Mr. Huff tor their benefit.

Ile was placed on the first all-star team at the LaSalle Tournament. The following is an extract taken from the columns of the La- Salle daily papers relating to said player: Hllendota had several good stars but one stood out particularly. Cash, at left guard, was the outstanding star. Playing' the standing guard position, he was virtually a stone wall against the onslaught ot the enemy and it was seldom that they succeeded in breaking through his solidary defenses. Bc- yond a doubt, it was largely his work throughout the tournament that ear- ried his team to the finals. l-le easily won for himself, Without any serious opposition, the position ot standing' guard on the Tournament All-Star Team.

Major or more important sports of course receive a higher number of points than the less important. Any girl earning one thou- sand or mo1'e points during her High School career is to receive a school letter, providing the Senior members of the Executive Board pass favorably upon her sportsmanship standing. Those earning eight hundred points shall be awarded an official emblem of the organization. The secretary keeps a written record of all points and letters earned from season to season and at the end of her term of office passes the records along to the new officer. At present many of the provisions of the Girls Athletic Association consti- tution are not carried out, and everything is not in the working order that is eventually aimed at. But a very good beginning has been made and the results so far justify the hopes and aims ot' the girls who are thus interested in sports. It is hoped each year to get more girls interested, to get them all out enjoying the fun and getting the physical benefits offered them. Character building and development of mental alertness are also a part of the game. The Girls Athletic Association so far has always been willing not only to conduct its own affairs but to eo-operate in any worthy school project and especially to support boys athletics in the school. They have earned all of their own funds and more too, by selling candy throughout the year at the games and in the halls at noon. The concession manager does the buy- ing, etc. for this. At the end of each season the losing teams always honor the championship team with a feed or party of some kind and many are the good times that have been had, The members of the losing teams themselves provide the food, etc. for these celebrations. This year's officers and leaders have willingly carried out their duties so far as they have developed. They are as follows: Marie Eckert ..........................

Baseball Baseball for the girls was introduced into the High school for the first time in the spring of 1923. Even though the game was entirely new to many, the practice season afforded much fun and developed some unexpected stars. The season ended with a close and thrilling game between the upper-class-men. Several innings ended in a tie-only to make each team struggle all the harder to get ahead. The ninth inning started 22-22 and threatened to remain so when the upperclassmen made two outs with the first two up at bat. Marie Eckert then made a nice hit and started a siege of batting which netted the team four more points before the third out was made. Then the lower class- men proceeded to do the same thing, but they could not be stopped until they had added 6 more points to their score and had won the game.

XVork is eonstant! Brains are mudd Tho we toil with all our might, Thru the tedious hours of study 111 the wee small hours of night, Not our work, nor yet our efforts, Seems our teachers well to pleaseg Tho we try to run the bluff game, Still We tlunk with desp'rate ease. Terms are long, and time is fleeting, NVhile our hearts are filled with glo Still along the hall-way beating, Footsteps lead to Beebe's room. In our High School halls of learning, VVhere from VVisdom's fount we've Here we ask with eager yearning, Dearest Teacher, did I Hunk? y! om, drunk Trust no class book, howe'er pleasant, 'Tis the test that tells the tale! Wlriteswrite in the awful Present! And then, maybe, simply fail! Lives of other students show us They have tlunked well as we, And to others who shall know us, Bright examples we shall be. Such examples that another Entering lligh School is halls of fame, Some light-hearted, happy brother Seeing, shall not blush in shame. Let us then be up and doing XVith no fear of failure now, Till in the greater school of Life, Success shall crown each brow. Isabel Billings ONE HUNDRED FOUR UM I -sig, ...
