Those outstanding were the Junior Play, “Growing Pains,” one of the best in recent years, and the Junior-Senior Reception. The class was amply supplied with funds by hard work and the willingness to work by all Junior students. They liberally and willingly donated for the luncheon served by the Junior class to the , County Teachers Institue. The boys entertained the girls at the close of the year as the result of losing the ticket-selling contest for the Junior Play. We were well represented on the athletics squads of M. C. H. S. in football, baseball and track, and these men performed nobly as Juniors should.

To the class of ’36 we leave all of our dignity and sobriety, in order that they may become examples for all underclassmen. To the class of ’37 we leave the task of raising money for the outstanding event of the year, the Junior-Senior Reception. To the class of ’38 we leave our ability to later learn what High School life is all about. I, Golda Wallace, in sane and sober mind, will to Margaret Scott the power to arouse Mr. Schnee-man’s ire by giggling, a talent I posses in an enormous quantity. I, Vernon Steele, do hereby will and bequeath my rheumatism to anybody who wants it, but hope that no one takes it. ‘‘Wanna buy a duck?” I, Lloyd Lambert, will my duck to any freshman who has the ability to sell it before he graduates. I, Arnold DeJarnett, will my knowledge of current events to Lowell Thomas, in order that he will keep up to the minute. I, Barbar Frazee, will to the windiest guy in school, “Peck” Dunmire, my little bass horn hoping he has better success than I had. I, Francis Kidd, do hereby will and bequeath my hog-raising interest to Joe Simmons, since Joe has already learned the art of hog-calling. I, Elaine Golightly, will my curly locks to Ruth Swinford hoping they will be her crowning glory. I, Lloyd Scott, hereby leave my ability to argue in American History Class, to pass away the period, to none other than Milford “Barrel House” Dunmire. I, Jesse Carter, hereby will and bequeath my last fifteen cents to Pat Park so that he will quit bumming. I, Loren James, leave my ability to look wise and act accordingly to Robert Perganda. I, Clyde Hankins, of the City of Metropolis, State of Illinois, being of sound mind and memory do make, publish, and declare, this my last will and testament in manner and form as follows: I hereby leave my ability to get out of trouble to Pat Park. I, Alice Morrow, will my form to Wava Lambert providing she uses her feminine charms to bewitch John Bill Estes and show him something of night life. I, Otis “Sleepy” Waters being in sane if not sober mind do hereby will and bequeath my ability to sleep in any class with ease, to Kenneth Marberry. I, Hazel Flanagan, being sane and sober for once, will my ability to shadow Miss Steers and Miss Lawrence to anyone who will be able to keep up with tnem. I, Charles “Chad” Zettler do bequeath my belief and sincere hope that the M. C. H. S. football team will clean the slate this coming season. I, Irene Lowry, will to any one taking typing all my nervousness on speed test days. I, Maxine Collie, do hereby will and bequeath to nobody, absolutely nobody, my interest in Brookport. I, Velma Steele, will my magic dancing slippers to Madge Cummins providing she uses them as much as I have. I, D. C. Heath, will my set of boxing gloves to John Bill Estes, providing he learns to use them without being hurt. I, Edward Haynes, will my ability as star cook to Paul Waters, hoping he learns to boil water without scorching it. I, Helen Evers, bequeath to Helen Mae Dunn, my book “100 Different Ways to tell the Truth” with instructions to learn every one so that she may never be accused of fibbing. I, Escoe Mathis, do hereby will and bequeath my ability to play a cornet to none other than a member of our bank, Earl Mann. I, Elmo Karraker, will to Albert Dyer my privilege of holding sheep for judging on field trips. I, Gladys Benjamin, hereby will to Mattie Still, my so called, “mousie” disposition and actions, providing she will always be as quiet as I am—sometimes. I, Mary Anderson, being of a sober and almost sane mind, do will and bequeath to anyone wearing a 4% a good pair of brown goloshes that have rested in my locker all year. I, Sam Gurley, will to Clifford Faughn, my position as tackle on the football team, providing he will wear his hair as short as possible at all times, until he is a dignified senior. I, Mary Harper, leave to my dear “Alma Mater” my little brother “Toar,” hoping they have as much influence on him as has “Popeye.” I, Mary Alberta Hardy being partically sane and thoroughly sober leave nothing to anyone, because I have a very selfish disposition and desire to keep all I have. I, Blanche Schmidt, will my rush to get home after school to Ruby Hillebrand and hope that she will succeed. I, Buddy Flanagan, will my position as “jack of all trades” to J. H. Craig, so I may rest this summer. I, Edna Schmidt, do this day will my long rides to school through the country lanes to a freshman boy.

The Glee Club has been very busy this year. They had a food sale and sponsored a moving picture in order to buy new music. Their operetta, “Oh, Doctor!” was a huge success and a surprise party was given for Miss Cummins, the director, by the thirty members of the Glee Club to show their appreciation. The music for the annual Commencement will be furnished by the Glee Club. Paye 28 (The 3 Holt met r OH, DOCTOR!

She is coming to spend her last twenty-four hours before her twenty-first birthday with him in order to inherit her grandmother’s money. Glory conceives the idea of sending her friend Honor in her place so she can go to South America to make a talking picture and still get her inheritance. But Bob, Glory’s fiance, decides to spend his vacation at the Sanitarium. Realizing that he will spoil her plans when he sees Honor, she is forced to go there to explain to him. Meanwhile Honor has met Philip, a young ranch owner, and they have fallen in love. A pretentious kidnapping which turns out to be very real, a misdelivered letter, and mistaken identity confuse things, but a few words of explanation smooth away the troubles and every one is happy. Beautiful singing and dancing helped to make this operetta one of the best ever given. 1‘aye 29 (The 3llohmct ENIOR PLAY “(tl)C Tamil?

Louise, his eldest daughter, an office worker, now twenty-one, hasn’t managed to land a husband yet. Her mother is very anxious to get her properly married, and father’s ambition is to get Willie to work. Annabelle, the “kid” sister, has one passion, and that is getting out of doing her piano lessons. It is a typical American home we look into; Annabelle practicing, Willie making a telephone date with a girl, Father coming home from work, worn out, Mother bossing, everyone wanting dinner. Louise announces at dinner that a young man is calling, and she would like to have the parlor. Charles Grant comes, and after embarrassed introductions all around he is left with Louise. They are in love, and before the evening is out they are engaged. Mother tells Grant that $100 a week is too little to live on. She tells her neighbors he is a banker (in reality he is making $40 a week.) The game of bluff goes on. Having heard all of this from Miss Calahan, Grant begins to wonder what sort of family he is getting into. There is an unhappy half-hour when the engagement seems to be off, until Grant’s mother appears on the scene. Mrs. Grant is just the bluffer that Mrs. Heiier is, and both see through all the bluffs and discount them. Everything ends happily. Paye 30 Site 3Uoltmet JUNIOR PLAY Ouch! Wow! Growing Pains! A farce comedy of adolescence in three acts presented by the Junior Class on April 25. It was tne most lively and amusing play of recent years. It was a play especially for young people, treating of youth as it hovers uncertainly on the wings of sixteen. George and Terry are the son and daughter of Frofessor and Mrs. McIntyre who struggle valiantly to lead their children through the difficult phases of adolescence, so familiar to us all. Terry is shown outgrowing the tomboy stage, and unable to play with the boys, and when thrown back on her own resources she illustrates a good s tudy of feminine psychology. George McIntyre, the boy adolescent, goes through the customary symptoms of his age—begging his parents for a car— and falling victim to the wiles of Prudence, a successful “vamp” in the neighborhood. In an effort to be outstanding in her eyes, he is disrespectful to the law and is hauled off to jail, causing an uproar in the McIntyre family. George seeks consolation from Prudence, only to be informed that he is “too young” to interest her. However, his interest in life is miraculously restored on the arrival of another new girl in the neighborhood, more his equal. Such is the life of these egocentric youths.

Some of their games were with Eldorado and Edwardsville, also Marion and Rosiclare. In the County tournament the Trojans were nosed out by Joppa by a close score of 21-17 Next came the District Tournament. After fighting all through to the finals they were defeated by Rosiclare by only 2 points, 17-15. The Trojans were runners-up for the district in the Sectional Tourney at Carbondale. They were defeated in the first game by Marion, the score being 28-26. The Trojans through the whole year scored 660 points against their opponents 603.

The football season started off by playing the Gleason team here. The game was the best of the year, Gleason winning by only one point 13-12. The next game was with East Prairie here. The Trojans romped over them by a score of 32-0. Murray, the Trojans’ rivals, came to the M. C. H. S. football field. For about four years Murray and Metropolis have tied, or Murray had won. This year the Trojans turned the tide and defeated Murray 20-13. Then Metropolis on a hot, dusty day went to Cairo and defeated them 12-0. Cairo returned the game and were defeated again 26-6. The next on the list was Eldorado which had a strong team. Both teams showed about the same strength, and the game was tied 6-6. The last game of the season was with Carmi. This was one of the most thrilling games of the year, Carmi winning by 12-6. The following men will graduate off of the football team: D. C.

It publishes the bi-weekly Illohmet and at the end of the school year the yearbook, also named the Illohmet. Robert Helm Lillian Lukens Russell Ramer James Nave Ben Batson_____ Bobbie Park ..

Last fall the Metropolis High School School became a member of the Illinois State High School Press Association, an organization of high school papers. Ben Batson. Lillian Lukens, James Nave and Robert Helm attended the district meeting at Centralia. The publication hour, formerly 4 p. m. was moved up to 12:45 p. m. on Friday, thereby allowing the students time to read the paper in their spare moments during the afternoon. The appearance was brightened up and made more attractive by the careful use of the mimeograph and by the art work of James Walters. The first picture section to appear in a regular Illohmet made its debut in the April 5 issue. This “scoop,” a double page of tornado snapshots, sold well, over 500 copies being sold to students and citizens who sent them to friends in all parts of the country. Credit and thanks go to Mr. H. C. Helm tor the printing of this section. THE ANNUAL ILLOHMET The appearance of the 1935 Annual has also been greatly improved due to the modernistic design and arrangement. It has been enlarged through the addition of the snapshot panels, a picture of the building, and the Senior activities. Another advance in the building of a better school Annual is in having individual pictures of teachers and School Board members. The School Board plays a silent but active part in the school’s affairs, and we are especially glad to honor these citizens here in the yearbook.

Zettler Our class was again represented in a musical comedy “Gypsy Rover.” We presented on May 10, the extremely successful play “Loose Ankles.” The Junior-Senior reception held on May 4 resembling a Japanese garden marked the close of a most successful and eventful year. The students, now dignified Seniors, having come to their last year, are prepared to receive their diplomas. This has been an extremely successful and eventful year for the Seniors. The Senior play “The Family Upstairs” with an excellent cast was a huge success. The Seniors were very lavishly and beautifully entertained by the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior reception. The Senior class sponsored a “barn dance,” May 7, which was something very unusual. Our Senior Christmas party given by the boys, December 21, was just the thing to liven up the Christmas vacation. On the 20th day of May the Seniors entertained with a play in the gym. This is the one day out of four years when the Seniors are granted privileges. It is usually their desire to show their dignity and knowledge. A big ice cream social was given May 25th, by the Seniors. The proceeds went to the fund used to purchase an electric score-board to be left to the school by the class. Paye 37 CALENDAR. 934«93 Sept. 1. School days, school days, dear old golden rule days.
