UGRESS EDITIO 1934 The Electric Building Nortfverly lslaml, acr05s the Lagoon from the Pla!! of Srience Published by the Senior V Class of The Milford Township High School Millord, lllinois REVEILLE The Hall of Science Century of Progress . .V - fiflit -, 5 ry 4 Reveille Staff Uses Century of Progress As Theme for Year Book In accordance with the Chicago Century of Progress Exposition of 1933-1934, which intends to bring assurance that the steady march of progress has not swerved aside, nor even been seriously retarded, that so-called recessions', are temporary lilce the receding wave that leaves the shore, we, the editors of the 1934 Reveille feel that there could be nothing more appropriate as a theme for our book, than a brief history setting forth the part which the great Middle West has had in making possible this great feat. Since our own town and school have materially aided in it, we oller this year- book as an example of the development and the progress of our community as observed by the class of 34 -which hopes to preserve its memory through print and picture. Every community has its own character. Unquestionably, courage and enter- prise have been the qualities associated with the name of Milford. In early days men of Enterprise were attracted to, and gathered strength in using the oppor- tunities of this locality. The city lifted itself out of the wildernessg it recovered from the cholera epidemic: it grew and prospered in spite of Indian Wars, con- flagrations and panics- and it felt strength. In this building were housed the many ex fribits in Basit' Science and Medicine at I1 A Century of Progress Exposition is not only a celebration in aclcnowledge- ment of the service of men throughout the world who contributed to the growth of Chicago in the past century, but it also attempts to recall the great achieve- ments of this century. This century is the first in which man has developed the ability to use all the known forces of nature for his own purposes. Ir is the one in which he has made a greater progress in adjusting himself to a comfortable relation to his physical environment than has been made in all the centuries preceding this. Likewise, we, the Reveille staff of 1934, will endeavor to accord recognition of the services of our predecessors, consider the inliuences that have brought us progress and study the means whereby we ma-y retain the blessings already secured and increase and extend them for ourselves and our successors, by portraying two aspects of this great theme, A Century of Progressu-the vast changes in the Educational and Social Life, the Architecture, and the Machinery of the Farmer since the founding of the Milford High School in 1878.

Plummer Milford Township High School 1919-1931 MR. VERNON L. PLUMMER To Whom We Respectfully Declicate This Volume Mr. Plummer comes to Milford from the Peotone schools where he success- fully served as superintendent for three years. He had been active in the profession for ten years prior to entering the Peotone system. Among the noteworthy events and achievements of the year are two, to which we point with special prideg the District Basketball Tournament and again pub- lishing an annual after a lapse of two years. Both were accomplished through the leadership and farsightedness of our principal. We the class of M. T. H. S. 1934, do hereby dedicate this Reveille to Mr. Plummer in appreciation of his interest and worlc for our class, school and com- munity. CONTENTS Administration Faculty Classes Organizations and Activities Calendar, Humor and Advertisements C MR. ROY F. STEELE Not unmindful of the influence upon our lives of Roy F. Steele, who as principal during our first three years in High School, we hereby pay this tribute as token of our appreciation for his efforts in our behalf. Wm LYONS pm s. o. WRIGHT, seay HARRY HOLMES MAXWELL CRAWFORD PROMINENT PROGRESSIVE MEN OF COMMUNITY ELECTED TO PROMOTE ADVANCEMENT OF MILFORD TOWN- SHIP HIGH SCHOOL Signifying their interest in the development of education in Milford, men of this community have, in past years willingly accepted membership on the successive school boards, the organization most essential to the progress of the school. This group has as its objective the uplceep of the school building and its fix- tures, the direction of a course of study and the selection of capable instructors. The successful attainment of this objective leads to the awakening of the interests of the citizens and students in the school as an institution, involving the cur- riculum and athletics, as well as the establishment of various other organizations. The current school board, which was elected by popular vote, holds its meet- ings on the first Monday of each month. The members of this board include prominent, active and retired business men and agriculturalists, who represent the community at large. The business of the school is carried forward under the direction of our able President William Lyons, who has spent most of his life in and around Milford. He has served on several of our school boards and has successfully completed this year in spite of many difficulties. In close co-operation with him is Secretary S. O. Wright, a man well informed in the taslc of running schools, for not only is he acquainted with schools in the THOMAS LOVELESS EARL SMITH Wm, HASSELBRING U. S. A. but he has taught in the Philip- pines for a number of years and has made a study of educational conditions in many lands. The other five members of the board carry out the decrees of the entire board in the manner best adapted for the bene- fit of all concerned. Harry Holmes is very much interested in M. T. H. S. since he himself is an alumnus. He can be seen rooting hearti- ly at all athletic events. He carries on his share of the duties of the board with the same vim which has won so many friends for him in Milford. Quite a well known young man, both because of his musical ability and because of his public works is Maxwell Crawford. He represents the rural districts of our community quite ably. Much of his in- terest is due to the fact that not so long ago he was a student in M. T. H. S. Principal Thomas B. Loveless has served on many school boards. He is quite an institu- tion around Milford in connection with the school and its activities, having gone to M. T. H. S. when it was in its babyhood . He is now an active member of our board and of the executive committee of our Alumni Association. Another old faithful is Earl Smith. Although he was not closely connected with the school in his early life, he has been taking an active interest for a num- ber of years past. William Hasselbring is the handy man of the board. Whenever we find a leak in the roof or anything like that we call on Mr. Hasselbring. He comes running across the street and before you know it everything is ship shape . He also is quite musical, so, if sometimes sweet music is heard atop M. T. H. S. you'll know it's Mr. Hasselbring. Each of these men eagerly backs all measures for the good of M. T. H. S. and through their united efforts we can observe the progress our school has made this year. Upon Superintendent Vernon L. Plummer falls the responsibility of convey- ing the necessary decisions and decrees of the school board to the faculty and stu- dent body. In order to accomplish this end he must work with the board and help them in all possible ways. In evidence of their co-operation, M. T. H. S. has to its credit another successful school year. Columbia Universit VERNON L. PLUMMER, M A J' Mas HILDEGARDE WENDELL sci-IRADER ADELINE FIRCHAU SLOTER HOFMEISTER Mr. Plummer is well acquainted with the meaning of the word work',. In his early childhood he worked on his father's farm and in the village nearby to earn enough money to attend high school. Due to his amazing scholarship and persever- ence, he was advised to continue his studies. With the aid of some friends but most- ly under his own power he attended the I. S. N. U. where he made great progress in the field of chemistry. He has attended Columbia University, the University of Illinois, University of Chicago and several other educational institutions. He has his Master's Degree and is well on the way toward his Doctor's Degree. He is very interested in agriculture and all branches of science. He is a very capable man, indeed, and has dilligently worked with the board to further our advancement in this, our last year. I A STAFF THAT REALLY COOPERATES The teachers are the connecting link between the principal and the students, and this faculty is no missing link . Each one backs the others' enterprises and all are firmly behind Mr. Plummer. Missf Kimmell spent her instruction period at I. S. N. U. where she learned oh, so much about-French and Latin and how to be cheerful. She always wears a smile in all kinds of weather under all conditions, and, boys and girls, a good dis- position makes you healthy. That's why Miss Kimmell is gym teacher. Her pep and spirit made her advisor of the Boosters' Club and she has been an invaluable asset all year. Whenever you see a classroom that is full all the time, during classes, before and after, that's Miss Firchau's. Everybody gathers in her room to catch a spark of her vast knowledge or a peek at her grade book. She teaches a variety of subjects, Eng- lish, History and Economics, and perhaps could help you in a little math if you asked her real nicely. She knows plenty because she went to U. of I. and is still going in her spare moments. Miss Firchau is a friend of all of Milford and the stu- dents' Pal',. Iowa, that's where the tall corn grows-and that's not all it grows, because we have an Iowa product in our midst- Miss Lester. Wlmat she doesn't know about music, just doesn't count, that's all. She has very successfully conducted glee clubs, choruses, orchestra, and band this year. Under her direction the operetta jerry of Jericho Roadv' was a huge success. Cn top of all this she also knows her verbs and nouns, just ask the Freshmen and Sophomores. She claims Cornell College as her Alma Mater and they should be proud of her. DORIS SCHNEIDER ALICE KIMMELL A stranger, on entering a Science class one day, said, Where's your teacher, little girl? Miss Schneider drew herself up to the full five feet of her height and coldly replied I'm the teacher . The visitor was properly squelched. In spite of her youth Miss Schneider is a very competent instructor. She even has a Master's Degree in Science-a big load for such a small person, but she bears up bravely and goes on teaching Freshmen all about oxygen, inclined planes, and plants. She is an alumna of the U. of I. and has backed our Purple and White-with as much pep and go as she did the Orange and Blue. Here we have a lady who has something no other person in school has acquired -two names. However, she is known to all students as Miss Sloter. She, too, went to I. S. N. U. where she learned-no, not readin', ritin', and 'rithmetic, but typ- ing, shorthand and bookkeeping. Due to her great teaching ability and likeable personality she has been a member of the faculty of M. T. H. S. for a number of years and all the Seniors are sorry to leave her. When it comes to judging contests or Ag shows, Mr. Schrader is right there. He learned all about cows at the U. of I. and for the past few years has been trans- ferring his vast knowledge to Milford's boys. Prior to the last three years he also taught Chemistry and General Science. I-Ie has been very helpful in athletics and all other school activities. He is usually elected Junior class advisor because he puts on such good Proms . Mr. Schrader is a prominent citizen of Milford and is ben- eficial to both town and school. For a hard working man, please turn to Exhibit A., Mr. Cohee. After slaving with a football team for three months, he starts right in on basketball and then, without a pause, begins track. He seems never to run down and is sad only when his team loses and he has to wear a black tie. The coaching job is enough to wear out an ordinary man, but he alyso teaches Math. and Civics. They must feed the students Grape-Nuts in Indiana. Mr. Cohee has done work at University of Chi- cago, University of Indiana and Butler, but you should hear him talk about his favorite Alma Mater, Purdue. Eureka! I have found it! Found what? Miss Merritt's school-Eureka. That's where she obtained her first degree. She received her second at U. of I., a M. S. And all of her pupils will get her third degree if they don't get their lessons. They learn how to sew a fine seam, to cook and to eat properly. She's the last word when it comes to planning a party, and if you want the latest styles, just ask Miss Merritt!

Seniors Make Debut Into the Social World Since you have already been introduced to our able board and faculty, you must agree that such an administration needs something of worth to work upon. This of course is the student body, and first and foremost are the seniors, at least we think so. The class of '34 is not exceptionally large, however, what we laclc in quantity is made up in quality. Of course, we don't mean to brag, but when you look through the ensuing pages, please notice the famous faces emblazoned thereon and then try to imagine us as Seniors, spending our last days in M. T. H. S. At the head of our ranlcs is GEORGE BENNER, a very dependable person is this president of ours. You might catch him reading some very deep material or doing some experiment in Chemistry or Physics in his spare moments. He must be able to carry his trombone in his poclcet for where you see George you see his trombone. He has been an active member in the musical department during his four years in school. FRANK BACHMAN is George,s able assistant and one of the most studi- ous persons in M. T. H. S. No matter what work is assigned to him, he diligent- ly prepares it. He has been an outstanding figure on our football team for three years and a good pal to all his classmates. VIRGINIA KELLEY is the proud possessor of the little green book of the class of '34, What would the halls of M. T. H. S. do without Ginny. Ever since she came here from Maryland, she has been a loyal booster of Milford. Her clever ideas have won for her many friends and also some lofty grades. M. T. H. S. will miss Ginny with her it is so. GEORGE BENNER FRANK BACHMAN VIRGINIA KELLEY M A MR PLUMMER Adv. MARY SPURGIN DEWEY CASE ELEANOR WOOD OWEN COON EULA LESAGE GLENN GOSSETT KATHLEEN SLOAN ROY WILLIAMS LUCILLE STEWART MR. PLUMMER: As is the usual custom, the Seniors selected the principal of the school as their class advisor. Although this is Mr. Plummer's first year in M. T. H. S. he has become well acquainted with the students and helped us in many ways. We wish to take this opportunity to thank him for all he has done for us in helping to make possible this annual and safely steering us over all Senior difficul- ties. MARY SPURGIN: Spud is another musical member of the Senior class. She can pound out a better tune on the ivories than anyone here and has become an important hxture in the music department. She has been the shining light of the classroom. If one member of the class is breezy, Spud's surely a gale. DEWEY CASE: Whenever you see a little blue car go whizzing around the corner, thatis Dewey Case. Dewey transferred to Milford from Onarga. He has htted himself well into the mechanics of our school and has been a smooth run- ning cog this past year. ELEANOR WOOD: Yea, Bearcats -so says Ellie, the cheerleader. I mormember it all -so says Ellie the dramatic reader. Can you feature that - says Ellie the actress. Such a versatile girl in the line of speech, and friends-she has them by the score. An all around good sport is Ellie. OWEN COON: Bud Coon is the moniker he answers to and he hails from Woodland. We have only had the pleasure of seeing Coon on our football field and basketball floor for the last two years, but he certainly has rendered good service in that time. His well known giggle is almost as famous as the Dale Beaver haircut. EULA LE SAGE: Thirty-thousand Frenchmen can't be wrong and neither can one little girl. Eula is known all over school as a peppy booster and she is always Page Eleven Q' i THOMPSON VELMA MC KEE LE ROY HAXTON EDNA BURGER FRANK DAHLQUIST MARJORIE GRIEST WILMER EIBEN CLYDE BACHMAN HOXVARD ADWELL FREDA HUBNER whole hearted in her enthusiasm for all school activities. GLENN GOSSETT: Glenn has a great reputation as a woman hater . He himself made this statement. I donyt know much about girls . However, he knows his stuff when it comes to athletics. He has been out for both football and basket- ball and is a star on our track team. KATHLEEN SLOAN: K-K'K'Katyf-a very busy little girl. She has tak- en part in practically all outside activities except football. and if there had been a girls' team. she would have been there. too. She ranges from the athletic to the domestic and forms the other half of our cheer leading organization. ROY XVILLIAMS: Horse was in school only part of the year. but believe me. everybody knew it, when he was here. just ask the teachers in the assembly. He was an active member of the football squad and helped bring home the bacon for M. T. H. S. LUCILLE STEWART: Lucille is a quiet girl but she's a stout fellow . She never misses a football or basketball game and always backs the school with every thing she has. GORDON THOMPSON: Alasl Alaslu. cries jiggs. when he graduates. How can I ever write notes anymore or play football or do Algebra problems. Alas. Alas. cries the spirit of M. T. H. S. what will the teachers do? No one will sing 'Good morning. dear teacher' to them anymore. VELNIA MC KEE: Red is one of three. She transferred here from Gary High School in her Sophomore year. Since she had spent the earliest years of her life here in Milford it didn't take her long to get acquainted all over again. She has been very active in school and a hard working member of the Reveille stag. ROY HAXTON: Despite Cottonis attraction for Sophomores he manages l'.i3r lixilmr' 51 JOHN 'HERRIOTT WANDA BAIER GAYLE FIELDING DOROTHY PECK DALE BEAVER MARY DONALDSON HAROLD DAHLQUIST FLOYD PITZER ARCHIBALD THOMPSON WILMA BAIFR to get along very well. He has played football, basketball and jokes steadily for four years. He is very proficient in the art of making speeches, maybe it's because it is such a long way from his seat to the front of the assembly and he has plenty of time to organize his material. He is to be commended for his work especially when the other boys were ineligible and he and Coon took over the Captainacy. Some boy! EDNA BURGER: For pure fun, run around with Breezy , She's a clevah lil' gal and the qualities which won for her her name have also won her much fame in school. Her Ma at the Basketball Game will never be forgotten and her charm- ing personality has gained many lasting friendships for Breezyy'. FRANK DAHLQUIST: Ham is a bashful boy-sometimes. He's another star athlete who also has a yen for Sophomores. He has been an officer of our class several times and has never failed to do his duty by his school. Good boy, Ham. MARJORIE GRIEST: Also a member of the well-known threesome. Marj is quite a basketball star, tossing 'em in almost as well as Beaver. She also figures in the music and Home Ec. department. Although she transferred here from Hoopeston early in her Freshman year she is a loyal Milfordian. WILMER EIBEN: Bill happens to be a strong rival of Cotton Haxton,s for the honor of being Senior jester. He has made a good showing in athletics during his career at M. T. H. S. playing football and basketball. CLYDE BACHMAN: Clyde is a quiet boy, but his dry jokes never fail to get a laugh. He has been an active member in the Ag Club and like his brother, Frank, rakes in the coin at the judging contests. His desk in the assembly is always sur- rounded by uspeakersi'-he,s quite a boyl GAYLE FIELDING: It seems that Pick can get more places in a minute than most of us can in an hour.

We progressed so beautifully our second year on the High Seas that at the end of the voyage we willed our sailboat to the Freshmen and pooled our money to buy a handsome steam boat-the junior. Our goodly crew chose the following officers: Edna Burger, Captain, Dale Beaver, First-mate, Owen Coon, Log Keeper and Purser, Dorothy Peck. Our gallant athletes won both the basketball tournament and the track meet. The good ship Senior was still traveling the High Seas, so the crew of the junior decided to entertain the crew of the Senior with a Prom. At various times we tied up along the shore and sold bread tickets to the housewives of Milford, and sponsored a movie, Smilin' Thru' . The deck of the ship was trans- formed into a ballroom, decorated with balloons. Small tables were placed about for the guests, and a large punch bowl stood at one end of the mess hall. The shipis orchestra furnished music for the dancing. The evening started with a grand march. During refreshments many speeches were made and a jolly time was had by both crews. This very successful Prom at the end of the voyage made us feel that we had progressed a great deal and we joyously anticipated our fourth voyage. The ocean liner Senior on which we embarked on our last voyage was indeed a magnificient leviathan. We chose as Captain a well experienced seaman, George Benner, our First-mate was a jolly fellow, Frank Bachman, and there were none quite so capable as our Log Keeper and Purser, Virginia Kelley. There was a new commandant in charge of the High Seas this year and we were fortunate to persuade him to be our Admiral, Mr. Plummer. Although years before, this same crew, while on the Freshman Raft, had taken part in musical productions, they were never so successful as this last year when they produced four leads in jerry of Jericho Roadf' Eleanor Wood, Kathleen Sloan, Edna Burger and Floyd Pitzer. Mary Spurgin placed second in piano in the Sub- District Contest and the Whippet Six. Edna Burger placed third in humorous de- clamation in the Whippet Six-fine accomplishments for our crew. The crew fur- nished about eleven boys for athletic events who made the Senior basketball team which won the inter-ship basketball tournament. Our sailors seemed to realize this was their last voyage and did their best. In the Ship's theater we produced a play entitled It Happened in Hollywood . As the reveille is the last bugle call of the day, so our Reveille is the last accom- plishment of the crew of the Senior Liner before Commencement. This was a noble enterprise and required great financial aid which was ably given by other organi- zations on the High Seas. This is a worthy book describing all aspects of journey- ing on the High Seas-a joyous life. It was with much sadness of heart that we, the sailors of the Senior Liner anchored for good at the port, Commencement. L The Seniors Parade Stand bye! Here comes the Seniors in grand array, Dignified and sober in somber gray, Don't be misled they're not always this way, Some are quite jolly and others real gay. Doctor, manager, and jack of all trades, All people in need, iris they whom Howard aids. From his seat on the bench, he yells to the Bear Cats, Come on! Quit your loafing, or I'll give you a spat! There isn't much in sports or school, That our own Frank has failed to do. He always follows the Golden Rule, We all agree that he's, True Bluev. Clyde has the neatest little line, There is no other of its kind. So serious and quite is this lad, We wonder if he could be bad. Wanda and Wilma are always together, No matter how warm or cold the weather. You may think it strange, as strange can be, But they are twins-loolc closely- you'll see. Dale Oliver Beaver, but brother to you, Kicks 'em over and tosses ,em through. In gentlemen's coiffures he sets the styles, And a freshman girl he does begile. Georgie Porgy, when young and shy, Kissed the girls and made them cry, And now he's president with prestige galore, And the girls all wish they could cry some more. Edna is as breezy as the breezes that blow, With many a friend and nary a foe. Milller and Burger as a team were a Pip, But after the show she gave him the slip.

At five o'clock, she'll always be In a certain place, her beau to see. Black, black hair and pretty brown eyes, She rolls them around at all the boys. Laughing and happy, and always real gays Eula's quite busy the livelong day. Then there's McKee, with the nick- name of Red , She comes by it honestly-just look at her head. She takes dictation at a high rate of speed, It's often quite different, when she has it to read. Dorothy is as quite as a mouse, And never noisy about the school house. She's never there when it comes to work, But in her lessons she does not shirk. Pitzer, his boots, and ten gallon hat, Are much in demand where ever he's at. He loves entertaining the fairer sex, And peddles his crooning by the peck. Kathleen, have you heard of the town Go Slow, Where the Sometime-or-other blos- soms grow?

She made up her mind to always pass, And now she's at the head of the senior class.

And he was a senior, but alas, To bad for him where his lor was cast Eleanor really can write charming verse But her mind is always in reverse. Pm sure she's never been stirred, By any lessons she has heard. Class Will After twelve long years, we, the M. T. H. S. Class of 1934, have now arrived at the parting of ways. These years of work and play, of struggle, and of growth, we have spent together as comrades. Now the time has come for us to leave the institution, our school, which fostered that comradeship. As, with one accord, we look back over these years which we have spent with one another, we perceive that above all else they have been years of progress-progress from childhood to young manhood and womanhood, progress from ignorance to the threshold of knowledge. Graduation, the celebration of our completion of these twelve years of school, commemorates for us our advancement as does the Century of Progress that of the world in the last hundred years. Insomuch as Commence- ment is the recognition of a considerable achievement it is a happy occasion, but insomuch as it marks the end of our class comradeship, the resignation of our place in school, and the giving up of those numerous indehnable qualities that make school life dear to us, it is a sad occasion. And so it is that we leave our places here not without a feeling of regretg nor do we intend to give them up without first having made known our wishes for the disposal of those possessions which, however cherished, the spirit progress dictates that we leave behind- .... when I became a man I put away childish things. Therefore, we hereby proclaim the following will to go into effect immediately after its public announcement, and we hereby name as chief executor thereof, one, Vernon L. Plumer, Principal. May all men know by these Presents: That we, the Senior Class of Nine- teen Hundred and Thirty-four of the Milford Township High School, County of Iroquois, State of Illinois, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and not acting under duress, menace, or fraud, or undue influence of any nature what- soever, do make and publish, ordain and declare this, our last will and testament in the manner following to-wit: I bequeath my French accent and beautiful eyes to Mary Adams to be used with discretion and not to be overdone-signed, Eula Le Sage.

Twelve years is but a moment in the great ages of history, but in the life of an individual it is a long time. Therefore, the occasion which marks the height of our progress during this period of time, is one of considerable significance. To you this ceremony represents the development we have made, and perhaps the great amount of money and effort provided at your expense which has made possible this progress on our part. To us these things are represented in this commence- ment, but to us there is represented another thing-the end of our class as an ac- tive part of our school. As a class in M. T. H. S. we have come together for the last time. It is in recognition, of this that a valedictory or farewell address is made. And so it is that I have been chosen to say for our class these words of fare- well to our school. i It is with many regrets that we leave this school to go out into the world. We hope to show our appreciation for the many advantages you have given us in these years of training by taking our share of the responsibilities of citizenship of this community, and now, we bid you and the school, farewell. o SGIUfCf0I'Y Ladies and Gentlemen: Most all of us accept cheerfully the fact that we must earn our own living, and work hard all of our lives to do it, but many were so anxious to get started that they dropped out of school as soon as the law permitted them to do so, and eagerly accepted the first job offered to them which inevitably led to the long grind of an unskilled worker. These same individuals five years later see things from an entirely different angle for they are earning no more than when they started. Learn- ing on the job is slow hard work and although skill has been acquired, these workers have reached the limit of their earning capacity. They may change jobs from time to time, but they can earn no more, for they aren't trained for anything better.

Three Years of Growth As Spring comes to the hills and prairies in all its newness and greenery we Freshmen arrived at the High School in September of 1930. Inasmuch as the building was new to all, we were not the only ones who felt out of place. It was new ground, so to speak, for the planting and cultivation of the new material. And, as the farmer knows, while all the planting is tended alike-some plants grow strong and hardy, while others barely survive a season-likewise-our fresh- men. Some were outstanding in scholastic work, which is primary. The Band drew two-most all took part in the Glee Club work and were thrilled to be in the hrst great Music Festival given in our new auditorium. Others were given prominent roles in the operetta. Some just went to school. But we felt as time went along, that we were fairly promising sprouts-although Latin and Algebra were the tempests and winds that beat upon us. As the Spring preparation brings on the unfolding of the Summer. so most of us became Sophomores delving just a little deeper into learning. realizing just a little more the importance of an education. As the grain sends forth suckers and stools, likewise for the first time, some of us who had started to school together went out separate ways to different classes. We became socially inclined and we had a few parties, but on the whole we were Page Thirty-four still dreaming dreams of unior Proms and umor activities You have seen the gram on a hot summers day never a blade moving but the roots drawing sus tenance from the so1l while the grain grows on toward the harvest season September again and umors' class elections were in order with the follow mg officers to direct and help us in this important year President Clyde Gilbert Vice President Woodrow Packard Secretary Treasurer Rosemary Goldstein Mr Schrader was chosen as our class advisor sweet peas our flower and pink and lavender the class colors Now we were accomplishing things and under a new regime football pep meetings cheer leaders try outs for operetta parts assigned practice and finally one of the most successful events ever given by the studnt body Basketball new suits new material great hopes then time out until we were restored to good standing in the athletic world Flnally the anticipated tourna ment crowds cheering We uniors sold pencils for our page in the Annual Come on Bearcats Lady Luck never gave us the breaks but we still kept in played a very important role in accomplishing this feat Now the lifted baton we sang and played under Dvorak in another great musical gathering And the usual unior Prom who knows?

Have we learned to face disappointment in life as we faced our losses in football and on the basketball Hoot? And have we learned to think for ourselves which was the purpose of algebra and sciences Then we used our time as umors getting ready for the grand finale of a Senior year and a diploma a useful and promising future The Valley of Ghosts CAST Minnie Strange the housekeeper of the late Lucille Evans Eleanor Myer Helen Wayne a fr1end of Lucllle Evans Sally Ann Helens maid Lily Violet in pursult of Pete Elvira Todd a vlllager Mrs Scott an escaped lunatic onathan Black a lawyer Jack Martin a friend of Lucille Evans Pete-his chauffeur Amos Hill in pursuit of Sally Ann A Watchman A Ghost Rosemarv Goldstein ohnaleen Books Helen Sumpson Mabel Irvin Reatha Gossett Woodrow Packard Clyde Gilbert Robert Landon Maurice Smith Eldo Shoufler Ellis Gillette Page Thirty five . , . . - , I . . . . .

There were tall competitorsg short competitors, fat competitorsg skinny competitorsg scrowling competitors, laugh- ing competitors, anxious competitorsg and lazy competitors. They were a laughing crowdg a quiet crowdg a victorious crowd: and a beaten crowd. lThen it was started all over the second yearl. So like the track meet: so like the Sophomores of '33 and '34, just as the competitors of the track meet, were they the Freshman Class at the first of September 1932. Some were determined to progress and win outg some only partially determined to progress and win outg while others didn't care. A few days after school took up the class chose Miss Miller coach and advisor for their team during the entire first year. The first event was the hundred yard dash. This was divided into three divisions: the first was the rush for president of the freshman class. Three people were nominated, and these three scurried out the door, while the rest of the class voted to see which should take this office. The three contestants rounded the curve at break neck speed with Richard Slife coming in on the home stretch by a few seconds or votes. The second division of the hundred yard dash was for vice-president. Four people were nominatedg Mr. Steele gave the signal. and they were off. Henry Clark was the best runner of this group, for he came in with first honors. The third division ran for secretary and treasurer. The competitors were chosen, the signal given, and the third and last heat of the hundred yard dash was on. Vesta Jean Hibler won, and their class ofiicers were elected. The next event of the track meet, was the 440 yard dash which was a race of endurance. In this race, the whole class competed to see if they could learn every- Page Thirty-,veven thing that was required, by the end of Nlay. A few grew lazy and gave up the fight for the trophy. The final awards were based upon their ability as pole vaulters and a few of the members failed to vault into the Sophomore Class. An intermission of three months was called in order that the contestants might regain their strength. Once more it was September, but this time in the year of 1933. This fall Miss Lester was selected by the class to talce over the duties of Miss Miller who had resigned. They now continued the track meet with a relay race. In this event as you lcnow, a baton is carried by one runner to the next. Augusta Ulitzsch was in line and toolc it from Richard Slife the former president, Don Long received the baton from Henry Clark their ex-vice-presidentg and Vesta jean Hibler passed it with the duties of secretary and treasurer to Eva Bailey. As the track meet progressed, the fetes became more difficult and the roll call was called for the half-mile run. Several found the going strenuous and deserted our ranks while others ufagged outn and failed to reach the Uuniorl tape. 0 GOAL Freshmen, juniors and Seniors decided They would be wise, and progress by out side. For we're the ones who have made up our minds, That we will not be led, nor left behind. We've decided to reach that goal afar, And not be contented, just as we are: Laugh and scoff as you jolly well please But welll be there, though we crawl on our knees. Fourth Run: George Nlartin.

T. H. S. Exposition The most backwoodsy of Arkansas farmers could not have been half so im- pressed with the World's Fair in Chicago as were we, the members of the Class of 1937, with the M. T. H. S. Exposition of 1933-34. Provided with an eighth grade diploma as entrance we Freshmen were allowed into the fair grounds September fourth. We visited the Hall of General Science since it was required of us and contributed to it many valuable specimens, such as live owls, dead moles, winged ants, rock fossils and a hornets nest. Harry Frame and George Jergerson remained long in the Romans' Temple trying to learn their language. In other halls we were exposed to American and English literature, history, mumps and measles fonly the latter two tookl. We made progress in doing away with some of the excess baggage in the form of slang which we brought with usl and it may be added we also acquired somej . In the Horticulture and Dairy Building we were fascinated with new processes for cream testing, germination of seedlings and sewing line seams. All these features of the Exposition filled us with awe.

The latter are posted on the bulletin board for several days and then pasted in a scrap book for permanent reference. The club made two subscriptions to the Popular Science Moiithly which has been a popular magazine not only with the club members but with the whole school. They have also obtained pamphlets, bulletins and posters from the State Department of Public Health Instruction. Next year they hope to utilize the scrvice available from this department for borrowing slides and films. Members of the club have constructed three bool: raclcs for the General Science notebooks repaired and painted two museum cases, and have cleaned and rearranged the laboratories a number of times. Each semester the club has sponsored a scholarship contest. In February a party was given in honor of section one which had attained the highest average in scholarship and attitude for the first semester. The club is in its infancy this year, but it feels it has a good foundation and is looking forward to great progress in the Hall of General Science next year. It will welcome to its meetings any students and townspeople who are interested in the organization. The club hopes that it may be of service not only to its members but to the school and to the community. Page Furry-wie Forty-tu o ODE TO OUR JANITOR Here's to our janitor, Peyton Walker.

The Spirit of Progress as interpreted by the Commercial Department In spite of tradition and opinions to the contrary, the commercial department in our high school continues to become more popular with M. T. I-I. S. students every year. A few students may doubt that we live in an economic age, but all will agree that we are living in an industrial and commercial era in which many states are diversified as to industry. In fact at all points in human society some phase of business activi- ty is contacted. This condition is highly responsible for the inclusion of commercial subjects in our curriculum. Since education is to train for life, and since life itself is a continuation of adjustments to business conditions and the changes that business imposes on us surely economic or business education must be one of our primary considerations. Each boy and girl in our school system is touched at some time or another in his life with an economic problem. Believing that the underlying reason for taxing our constituents to maintain a school is for the purpose of making better citizens, our commercial course has been organized in such a way as neither to place overemphasis on the vocational aspects, which may result in a narrow outlook on life, nor to place overemphasis on the social aspects. which may result in inability to hold a position. From our commercial courses we expect the chief outcomes from a vocational aspect to be skills. in machine operation, in routine bookeeping, in shorthand and in rapid calculation. The commercial courses are not limited wholly to clerical subjects such as Shorthand. Typewriting. Arithmetic and Bookkeeping, but stress the broader as- pects of business which are to be found in the teaching of these subjects, such as the flint' Istliljrfdllf understanding of business principles, ethics and personal accomplishments. Like- wise we have attempted to socialize the commercial course by the addition of a number of Social Commercial subjects. and by stressing topics which have a social significance, such as credit in bookkeeping. business ethics. etc. and by requir- ing each student to make social applications. The course aims to develop the mental attitudes most needed in society. and reasoning ability. rather than merely accepting and memorizing facts. The commercial department this year is under the capable leadership of Mrs. Hofmeister who is ably assisted by Mr. Cohee and Miss Firchau. The business course is composed of a number of commercial subjects from which each individual makes his selection. Commercial Arithmetic offered in the Soph- omore year, gives a student a general survey of business. and gives him more compli- cated drills in the fundamental processes. The first semester of bookkeeping is largely devoted to the study of business organization as interpreted by simple bookkeeping records. The second semester, however, develops a more extensive understanding of bookkeeping technique. Ac- counting principles are applied to personal knowledge. and the manner of recording past expenditures is studied. together with the value of budgeting an income. Shorthand is a very interesting subject, which requires a high proficiency of skill. During the entire first year the greater part of the time is spent in writing short- hand characters, also the reading of shorthand from supplementary books. Dictation and transcription of notes are given just as soon as the student can write a simple paragraph. Dictation is given at first at a very low rate of speed, but by the end of the first year, students are expected to take dictation at BOOKKEEPING .fir fiutntfz Donald Pzaier. Lee Callahan.

Creed of the Future Farmer I believe in the beauty of God's open country, that life out of doors and in touch with the earth is the natural life of man. I believe that work is work wherever we find it, but that work with nature is most inspiring and challenging. I believe that the dignity of labor depends not on what you do, but how you do it: that opportunity comes to a boy on the farm as often as to a boy in the city, that life on the farm may be full, happy, and free, and that a prosperous agriculture is essential to our national welfare, that my success depends not upon my location, but upon myself, not upon my dreams, but what I actually dog not upon luck but upon pluck. I believe in working when I work, and playing when I play, in giving and de- manding a square deal in every act of life. Our local chapter of the Future Farmers of America was organized in 1929-30 and has grown annually. We try in a sincere way to carry out the purposes of the organization, and have made progress in this each year. The officers elected for 1933-34 are: Don Long, President, Richard Slife, Vice-presidentg Ellis Gillette, Secretary, Page Fnrfy-fevrn FARM MECHANICS Howird Adwell William Henry, George Hauer, Mr. Srhmeder.

Each year the new members are initiated into the organization as Green Hands: the second year members as Future Farmers. The Future Farmers always look forward with pleasure to the Green Hands initiation. This initiation is a carefully planned formal and informal one. Likewise, the Green Hands enjoy the chagrin of the Future Farmers when they receive their badges. Farm Shop Class Learn Practical Repair Work At planting and harvest times a farmer is usually confronted with many small breaks in his farm machinery that require valuable time during these busy seasons for repair. A farm shop equipped at a reasonably low cost, provides a place during the less busy winter and spring seasons to make many needed repairs. which prevents a great many of those small breaks. Our High School Farm Shop and its course of study are planned to meet these emergencies. Our course of study includes elementary carpentry, planned to give the student of agriculture fundamental training in those wood working jobs that he will need in his work on the farm. It is not intended that our farm shop students do fancy wood work and cabinet work that manual training courses offer. Soldering and sheet metal work are important to the farm boy and we have in this branch a large number of elementary jobs, designed primarily for general farm repair. Rope work, including splicing rope, making hitches. tieing knots. crown and eye splicing. and making rope holters are jobs that everv farmer should know how to do. Heavy iron and forge work, and especially welding. should not lkrur' I-vrlx-sigh! be undertaken by anyone except a skilled blacksmith, but there are a large number of small jobs in iron and forge work that a farmer may perform to save him time in taking the work to a blacksmith. In our shop course a large number of these jobs are outlined for training in this phase of repair work. Tool care and repair work are some of the most important of the shop enterprises. Jobs in aligning, filing, and sharpening general farm tools, joining, setting, and filing saws and others on care of tools are a part of the shop courses. Gas engine work, including timing, ignition, and a general study of the working parts of one-cylinder gas engines is important to the farm boy. Our shop course includes this work. Other general jobs in glazing, harness repair, concrete work, paints and paint- ing are included in our supplementary list of shop enterprises for those students who are more aggressive and Hnish their regular program of work ahead of the schedule. Many of our jobs in carpentry, iron work, soldering and sheet metal work are completed by each student in some productive work. Step-ladders, trailers, wheel- barrows, funnels and tin-cups, are some of the finished products which embody a large group of the fundamental jobs in each particular shop project. Each boy is required as a shop project, to make some useful article such as these, and he is charged only for the actual cost of the materials. This increases interest in shop work very much and eliminates a large waste of materials that would otherwise occur in the practice jobs.

An Interview With Apollo I, Apollo, the god of music, come to bring my message to you, since with un- divided interest, I have hovered over the musical activities of M. T. H. S., this year of 1933-34. I realize the enthusiasm that exists in this school for good music, and I am most eager that this desire be fulfilled. The first music organization that I mention, is the orchestra. The instrumenta- tion in this group is very poor, and the training of most of the players is meagre, but considering these things, creditable advancement has been made. As an aid to the operetta, the orchestra was invaluable. Likewise, it added to the productions of other organizations by furnishing the music. In the county orchestra of the festival, this orchestra added both numbers and quality. I hereby state that the members of the orchestra have faithfully fulfilled their duties, and may many new members come to join them in the near future. At this stage of the interview, Apollo glanced up to see if New Sol was doing his duty. He explained that the first two weeks of school last fall, Old Sol became so overheated that he burned out a coil, and the new one who re- placed him was having difficulty in furnishing sufficient heat. Apollo was evidently satisfied with his son's endeavor, for he relaxed his athletic figure upon the grass and continued: That girls' glee club certainly surprised me favorably enough. I was literally shaking in my boots, the first time those girls appeared in a group to sing, but somehow my tensed nerves lcept them up to pitch. They sang Christmas Carols, and even Old Santa remarked how angelic they sang. At the beginning of the year this group showed little promise, and I actually wept bitter tears at some of the Page Fifty-one GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Hack Ron: Helena Duis, Ruth Davis, Rosemary Goldstein, Marie Crow, Virginia Kelley, Eleanor Wood, Marjorie Griest, Marian Sloan, Helen Stimpson, Imogene Thompson, Edna Burger, Mary Donaldson, Velma McKee, Ora May Bury.

I am told that it was these tears, that moistened their hard dry tones and gave them that angelic quality. Perchance I should converse with the Sandman, or perhaps their mothers be fore making this assertion, but if these same girls have the difhculty in awakening in the mornings, that they had learning the song, 'Morning,' I fear they are late risers. My heart did swell with pride, though, when with the other girls of the county, in the Musical Festival, I heard their beautiful voices soarf, Give me a pin, Apollo demanded of me, my robe keeps sliding down over my shoulder, and it makes me nervous. I scampered for the desired article, and as he twisted, turned and grunted in the process of pinning, he started I'm a man, but somehow Iim crazy about that bunch of boys in the Boys' Glee Club. They are certainly a bundle of energy, aren't they? Why the way these little tenors used to toil and sweat, would send me into convulsions, but don't mistake me, I appreciated it. To show my appreciation, I eliminated some of the creaks, squeaks and breaks you notice in their speaking voices. You watch in another year or two some mighty fine singers are going to come out of this section The other sections are made up of older boys, and naturally, they have more settled voices. By the way, did you notice what hard work it is for two of those best basses, to watch the director. That's a common fault of basses, I guess it is born right in most of themf' Self, shouted Apollo to the sun, Turn off some of your heat and tell Thor to order up a shower for tomorrow. By the way, you can start getting ready for Page Fifty-Ina bed, because it,s becoming late afternoon. 1,11 be there soon to tuck you in. It's very seldom I give an interview, explained the god of sun, music, song, manly beauty, youth and protector of flocks and heards. I have so many duties, I scarcely can make the rounds, saying nothing of taking time out for interviews. Because of this, I must hasten to the last musical organization of the school, the chorus. It is this group in which I am most interested. It is this group in which I see the greatest possibilities and upon which I shall bestow most of my valuable in- spiration next year. 'Jerry of Jericho Road' , a peppy and snappy operetta was visualized for the community, in a very excellent manner. One night's performance was not sufficient, so it was repeated before a wonderously large audience. Gilman and Milford agreed to exchange operettas, therefore, on Dec. 9, Gil- man produced their operetta, Miss Cherryblossomf On the following Tuesday, Milford gave the third performance of their operetta. At the Armistice Day program the chorus furnished the music. If they had sung as energetically as they left the stage, when the speaker asked them to sit down in front, the roof would have been blown sky high. The chorus sang on other similar occasions. In the County Festival, this chorus boasted the largest number of any chorus in the county and added greatly to the performance. I, Apollo, the god of music must hasten to my duties. I give you my ever- lasting encouragement and support, and may the music of M. T. H. S. reach higher and higher attainments as the years progressf, BOYS' GLEE CLUB Bark Row: Norman Campbell, Harold Rush, Merlin Farber, Wfendell Unfer, Robert Gossett, Lester Gilbert, Floyd Pitzer, Lloyd Edwards, Harold Hartman, Forrest Henry, flfiddle Row: Frank Martin.

Home Economics Department Offers Attractive and Worthwhile Courses Home ain't a place that gold can buy, or get up in a minute, Afore itis home there's got t' be a heap, o' livin' in it.-. As we drop in to chat with this or that friend, or go on an errand to a neighbor s we find ourselves, unconsciously, malcing mental notes of these homes. It isn't just the mere furnishings of which we are aware, as we step inside the door, but that intangible something we call atmosphere. Ir is this which lends to one home that feeling of welcome, of contentment, of happiness and of a purposeful life be- ing lived within, while in another home, there is an atmosphere of unrest, of sellish- ness, of misdirected efforts and of people who are existing rather than living. In as much as approximately seventy per cent of the women over twenty-one years of age are married, it may be safely assumed that the chief occupation of the majority of girls and women in the United States will be home-malcing. Ir is. therefore. important that all girls be instructed in the fundamentals of home-malo ing education, since it is the purpose of Home Economics to help to maintain Page Fifty-four good American homes, and family life. Such instruction is not acquired as effec- tively in the home today, as it was fifty years ago. The complexity of modern life in which the motheris social duties have increased many foldg and the vast change in her economic life brought about by the use of already prepared foods which she formerly concocted in her own kitchen has created a situation where the mother does not now have the time, nor is she willing to take the time, to instruct her daughter in the art of becoming an eflicient home maker. Hence, there is less oppor- tunity in the home today for the daughter to become trained for her future occu- patron. Clothing, Foods, and Home-making are the courses that constitute the Home Economics department. The clothing course presents the fundamentals in the construction of garments, care and repair of clothing, and budget makingg as well as emphasizing the selec- tion of clothing on the basis of its aeasthetic, hygienic and economic values rather than on the basis of its conformity to fashion. This aids in establishing more sane standards of dress and thus is a contribution to the development of the ideal American home. The subject matter covered in the Foods course comes within'the experience of the high school girl, and is selected in accordance with her daily contacts, interests, and responsibilities both at school and at home in matters pertaining to food. It includes the wise selection of food for herself and others, good manners and cour- tesy, marketing, preparing and serving of meals, and planning for special occasions. The Home-making course deals with the home from the point of view of family relationships. The aim is to develop in the girl an interest and some under- CLOTHING Mildred Burk. Nliss Merritt.

The Home Economics Club is a group of girls interested in Home Economics. The Club was organized to further the interest. and to promote good fellowship among the Home Economics students. A variety of activities have been participated in by the girls of the depart- ment during the current year. They co-operated with other organizations of the community at Christmas time in presenting the Community Christmas Tree Party. Wlieii the music department gave their operetta, the girls assisted by making the costumes. On February 24th, the third annual Home Economic and Agricultural Fairu was held, with a larger number of entries and exhibits than ever before. The Coffee Shop conducted by two members of the Foods class was an interesting feature of the Fair . During the two weeks, previous to the District Basketball Tournament, the cooking class prepared the noon meal for the basketball boys, and at various times have served hot lunches to the students and faculty. The course was fittingly climaxed by the Board-Faculty Banquet and the Mothers' Tea which completed the program of the year. Our teaching is appropriately illustrated in the poem My Creed which ap pears as follows in the Home Economics, Counselor of New Mexico.

I want to go out with my head erect. I want to deserve all men's respect.

His keen interest in athletics and his tireless efforts have made the physical education work of our school both interesting and prohtable. Throughout the year considerable interest has been manifested in sports. In Football, in Basketball, and in Track the boys have worked together to make creditable and record showings. In his direction of these activities our coach has shown skill and competency. We feel that the schoolls progress in athletics under his guid- ance has been encouraging, and it is with anticipation of con- tinued success and new achievements that we look forward to his being with us next year. Football Team Makes Good Record The 1933 football season opened with 36 boys under the direction of a new coach. The chances were small for a winning team, there being only three regulars from last year's squad around whom the team was built and the new material was young and inexperienced. A new era had begun in M. T. H. S. athletics when the season opened ten days after school started at Hoopeston before a crowd of 800 fans. It was a good game, in spite of the fact that the time in which to build a team was very short. It was the Hrst time in many seasons that a Milford team had held a Hoopeston team score- less. After the moral victory at Hoopeston the week before, the boys became overly confident of their ability when they met Rossville and yielded a score Z0 to 0 to a good team. The Paxton-Milford game was our first home game of the season. Here the team gave a fine exhibition of football and showed real scrap and fight from be- ginning to end. It was Beaver, who opened the seasons counters with a drop kick from the 38 yard line, while Shoufler scored the first touchdown of the season for Milford. In spite of the fact that Milford received a 13-9 set back, this game was the greatest game played in Milford in many years. After this fine showing Milford met Chatsworth on the Milford home field. During the first few minutes of play, Chatsworth scored, but the Bearcats com- pletely outclassed them in the third and again in the final quarter. The features of the game were two forty yard passes from Coon to W. Packard. and the score I9-6. Barnes brought his Gilman team to the home of the Bearcats the following week-end. Gilman scored a safety late in the first quarter and the score remained 2 to 0 until the last quarter when a pass was completed and a touchdown scored bringing the score to 6-2. This game showed the purple improving. Page Filly-eight Tap Row: Coach Cohee, Maurice Smith, Clyde Gilbert, Randall Kemp, john Herriott, Melvin Thomas Floyd Pitzer, Lester Gilbert.

S. team traveled to Momence to battle the Momence eleven. The playing field was a sea of mud with a few miniature lakes here and there. If the Bearcats had enlisted a few swimmers, they would have been able to give a good account of themselves. Both teams were playing a careful and conservative game and after the mud ceased flying the score was O-0. On October 27, the M. T. H. S. team found themselves pitted against the Red Warriors from Gibson City. The game was furiously fought from one end of the field to the other. Down! Down! Down the field marched the Purple Clad Bearcats, but every trick that they held in the bag failed to penetrate that brick-wall defense on the Goal line. Four times, the Milford boys were held inside the five yard line by their opponents, and as the gun sounded the Milford left end dropped a pass that had been thrown over the Goal line, thus ending a bitter struggle with the score still standing 0-0. The next week the Bearcats journeyed to Cnarga. Fear, team strife, and in- jury together with the fact that Onarga had the best team in history of their school, the M. T. H. S. team had to be content to return home defeated 51-0. The afternoon of November 11, was the time set for the annual Armistice Day fray with Watseka. Milford expected this to be the best game of the season, but the home boys were no match for Watseka. The purple clad warriors never gave up the battle and were still fighting when the game ended with the score 32-0. After the regular season a game which was to be played at Westville was scheduled with the Westville Tigers. Ir was in this game that the M. T. H. S. team really lived up to their name Bearcats. The task of organizing a new team was gigantic and in spite of the handicaps this M. T. H. S. team has upheld the high standing set by teams in previous years. A number of boys, F. Bachman, Beaver, Coon, Frank Dahlquist, R. Williams, G. Thompson, A Thompson, Capt. Pitzer, Eiben, Haxton, Herriott, and Gossett played their last game for the M. T. H. S. All the seniors played a wonderful game, ex- cellently supported by the unclerclassmen to close their careers in a blaze of glory. Page Fifty-nine BASKETBALL TEAM M. T. H. S. Quintet Plays Exciting Games The longest grind of athletics began, when the call for basketball boys was issued November 14. As in football, the squad was built around one first and two second stringers, the rest of the squad was new material. After two evenings of practice, and tired from the afternoon football game with Westville, the Milford basketball team opened the season by traveling to Raub, Indiana, where the boys were defeated 21-17. The home season opened when the Bearcats, dressed in new white suits, took their stand against Hoopeston. The Canners were really determind to take this game from us as they had been in the habit of doing, but when the gun went off Milford had defeated them by a score 20-19. The following week the team met Buckley at Buckley. It was the second victory for the M. T. H. S. boys, for they doubled Buckley's score of 13. The next week found Onarga, in a most thrilling game nosing Milford out of what looked like a sure Bearcat,' victory. Onarga after trailing all the way was able to break away in the last quarter of play, winning the contest 23-20. The next encounter was with Stockland where twelve Milford players saw action and were able to pile up a score of 27-14 in their favor. After the victory over their neighbors to the East, the Bearcats traveled to Gil- man. where although rough play was a feature of the game, Milford was able to click up 28 points while their opponents registered 21. The M. T. H. S. team next appeared on their home floor to play their third game within four nights. lt was in this contest with Rossville that Clark, a sopho- more. played his best game of the season. This was one of the best played games on the schedule with Milford winning 21-15. A week 1at:r the Milford quintet met Buckley for the second time, but the vic- tory that the boys thought so easy to win proved quite difficult, for when the game ended the Milford crew were victors by a score of 21-19. ljtift' .Nixly Iitztk Run: LeRoy Haxton, Glenn Gossett Eldo Shoufler.

They were defeated 26-24. The final game of the season's schedule for the Bearcats was with Thawville who had in their last live games tripled the score on Sheldon, defeated Chatsworth, fwho had conquered Onarga, Wellington, Gibson City, and Fisherj but in one of the greatest exhibitions ever witnessed on the local floor the Milford team defeated them by a score of 35-20. For the first time in the history of the school, the annual District Tournament which got under way March 6, with Hicks of Onarga and Clearwaters of Joliet as oflicials, was awarded to Milford. Since the Bismark team proved scrappier than had been anticipated and as Woody Packard was on the side lines with an attack of appendicitis this game proved to be a thriller. Thompson,s over head shot that tied the score in the last twenty seconds will never be forgotten. In an overtime period Milford sank the winning basket making the score 19-17. The Bearcats met Sheldon in their next tournament game, which proved to be the roughest game witnessed throughout the year. Milford never lost complete con- trol of the fray from start to finish, and by winning this game 24-19 entered the semi-finals. This game was perhaps the greatest basketball game of the year, but only by lack of a schedule did Watseka have endurance enough to out score, 25-22, the talented Milford quintet. In the consolation game every man on the Milford team was used and a victory of 30-17 was won over the Rankin team. Along with a few of this year's letter men the Freshmen-Sophomore team will be sending many players up to the varsity squad, and an aggressive team is expected for next year. Page Sixty-In Track Team Gives a Good Account of Itself The 1934 season for the Bearcat Thinly Clads, opened, after a four season de- pression, with a goodly turn out of inexperienced lads. Clyde Gilbert, Gossett, Bachman, and Beaver formed the nucleus around which the Coach began to build a balanced team. Gossett was elected captain and his efforts inspired his team- mates throughout the season. The season,s schedule opened April 13 with the triangular meet between Watseka, Sheldon and Milford. The rivalry was keen and a fair sized crowd of rooters cheered the runners. Milford won by the top heavy score of 72, Watseka 39 and Sheldon lost with 15 points. The next week brought the Triangular meet with Watseka, Stockland and Milford. The purple and white clad lads were pushed to win. The scores were M. T. H. S. 62, Watseka 47, and Stockland 27. A need was felt for some type of track contest which would rate the contestants on an all round ability basis. The Pentathlon was organized, which is to be one of the big annual track events of the years to come. Five schools, Sheldon, Hoope- ston, Watseka, Stockland and Milford, entered five contestants as a school team. Each contestant took part in five events. Each boy was scored on his ability in each event-all scores were totaled for the team score. The basis was a set mark of perfec- tion, as used at the collegiate meets and was based 1000 points. The events and their standard of perfection were as follows: High Jump-6 ft. 1 in.g Broad Jump-21 ft., Shot Put-47 fr., 100 Yd. Dash-10 seconds, and the Half Mile -2 minutes. This proved to be a thrilling meet and the locals won in fine style. The individual scores placed Sampson of Watseka ahead with Gossett and Shoufler of Milford closely following. The scores for the teams were as follows: Watseka 12295, Hoopeston 9984, Sheldon 10353, Stockland 10353, and Milford 13615. The last meet of the present Whippet Six Organizations was held. at Welling- ton, April 27. This was a meet marked by close finishes and one in which several records of preceeding years were broken. Milford won this meet by a score of 56 1'6. Wellington took second place having 53 points. The other teams' scores were, Stockland 22, Loda 13, Thawville 3lQ, and Cissna Park 1. Milford met the Fowler, Ind. fBenton County Champsl in their final dual meet and defeated them 62-53. The last track meet of the season was the County meet which was held at Onarga on May 4. From start to finish this was an exciting and interesting contest. Onarga took first place with a score of 47 points. Watseka barely managed to nose Milford out of second place by a score of 23 against Milford's 212. The boys on our team breaking the winning column were: Don Long, first in mileg .gf Burk Ron: Fred Schroeder, Harold Dahlquist. Frank Bachman, Gor- don Thompson. Owen Coon, Dale Beaver, Eldo Shoufler, Floyd Pitzer. Front Ron: Kenneth Eltzroth. Don Long, Frank Dahlquist, Glenn Gossett. Clyde Gilbert.

The records show that this is the most successful track season which Milford has had for several years. Individually and together the team has made an ex- cellent showing, and it is with justifiable pride that M. T. H. S. looks upon the three chief meets of the season in which she has won two first places and one third. Playground Ball Offers Athletic Program For Boys Not in Football Our Fall football program does not provide adequate athletic training for all boys in school and especially those who need it most. For the last two years play- ground ball has furnished this necessary training and recreation for those not in- terested in football. A playground ball league was organized in the Whippet Six Conference. Four schools in the eastern part including Stockland, Wellington, Cissna Park, and Milford played regular scheduled games with each other, and four schools in the western part including Buckley, Loda, Thawville, and Roberts also played a regular schedule of games. Near the end of October the teams in the conference met at Loda to play in a tournament for the championship. In their first game our boys met Wellington and were defeated 7 to 3. They played very well and showed much improvement over the earlier games. Buckley won the tournament after hard KITTENBALL Top Row: Donald Davis, Wen- dell Unfer, Robert Slife, Rob- ert Gossett, Roy Hawthorne, Harold Hartman, Lloyd Ed- wards, Merlin Farber, joseph Hines. llfxddle Ron: Mr. Schrader, Donald Baier, Donald Bart- low.

Our team was somewhat handicapped by lack of material since the large foot- ball squad took most of the better athletes. This did not affect their spirit, how- ever, and each one played hard throughout the season. Success in winning games seemed to be just around the corner, but in our last contest of the season the boys were still trying to win. Several times they seemed to have a victory within their grasp but something always happened in the critical stages of the game. How- ever, no alibi was offered and each of the boys was satisfied by having received his share of the fun and experience of playing. . M. T. H. S.

Milford Milford High Has interesting Background Milford, meaning Ford-at-the-Mill, is one of the oldest settled townships in Iroquois County. At the time of its settlement, it formed a part of Vermilion County and was the only settlement except Bunkum fnow Iroquois, between North Fork and Chicago. The earliest settlement of which any account can be obtained was made in the timber on the banks of Sugar Creek in the spring of 1830. Some traces of an earlier settlement were found but by whom made or at what time it is impossible to ascertain. Early in the year of 1830, seven families came and settled near the creek, in cluding William Pickerell, from Ohio. These families were Quakers and in the Spring of 1831 they erected the first house of worship built in Iroquois County The building which was madeibf round logs was also used for a school and meet- ing house. This was the first school and was taught by Mrs, Judith Stanley who was paid by subscription. Later during this same year, another school was built south of the creek in the Thomas settlement. William Thomas was the teacher. This building was of logs, 14x28 feet. The floor was of logs split in halves and the split surfaces smoothed with an ax. The door was made of rived boards and secured with wooden hinges. The shingles were made in the same manner. The hearth was made of clay and extended entirely across one end of the house.
