At the beginning of tho yoar, librarians were appointed by Miss Tatnan to serve for ono period of oach day Tills method placed no hardship on any ono porson. Sinco the library was used a groat doal, it was tho duty of a librarian to bo presort beforo and after school for a spoeifiod longth of time and during tho noon hour.

SCHOOL BUILDING Oneida's red brick school building has changed g -eatly since that first class left its doors in 1091 to become a part of the great outside world The building, which was erected in 1870, has been repartitioned until there are now four rooms on tho first floor and seven on the second floor. The seating arrangement ha3 been changed in several rooms and the building has been repainted several times. On the first floor are four rooms which are used by the grade school pupils and teachers. The southeast room is given over to the first and second grades, the northeast room to third and fourth grades, the northwest room to the fifth and sixth grades, and the southwest room to the seventh and eighth grades. The second floor is occupied by the high school. Tho office is regarded as the principal's domain. The history room which occupies the north- west portion of the building, is adjoined by the room in which English, mathematics, civics, and economics are taught. In the southeast corner of the building is the shorthand and bookkeeping room Opening to the west of this is the typing room. The science room occupies the southwest portion of the second floor. Here are found all those instru- ments and conveniences necessary for the complet- ion of laboratory experiments in physics, general, science, and biology. In addition to these rooms there is a study hall at the south end of which is a combined stage and library, the latter contain- ing 1078 volumes. In the basement is a music room to which both grade school and high school pupils have access. During the school year of 1934-35 the piano in this room was repaired and made adaptable to both chorus and orchestra work. The grounds surrounding the building are kept in shape by the janitor, Mr. Charles Yfeech, who has filled this position for the past two years. 3 i irnnsKsar; TK i GYMNASIUM In 1926 the members of the Oneida Congregation- al church donated their church building to be used as a community meeting place with the understand- ing that it was to be under the jurisdiction of the high school board. Soon after this, remodell- ing was begun to transform the building Into a gymnasium suitable for practicing certain athletic activities. The present building has a balcony on the east and one on the west side of the main room. Three back rooms are provided for the convenience of athletes and officials. During the summer of 1934 the building was mads more modern. In the northeast back room cupboards, for storing dishes belonging to Oneidab organizations, were installed. In the back room to the northwest a partition was inserted making a small private room for officials and a place in which to lock the team’s clothing and athletic equipment. In the basement showers and lockers for athletic clothes were installed. In this building the basketball teams of the grade school, high school, and town do their pract- icing in preparation for their games of the season. Here also the high school girls' physical educat- ion classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week during those months when weather condit- ions make out-door athletics inadvisable. The building is often used In the Dresentation of various programs, for political meetings, for organizations meetings and activities. A piano, newly purchased during the 1934-35 school year, stands ready to provide music for any of these public assemblies. n HIGH SCHOOL BOARD l'ie high school board is composed of five men •vho ara well known in the vicinity of Oneida. The president of the group is Guy HcMaster who has been on the board since 1921. The socretary-trea- surer, Ilr. C.H.C. Brown, became a director in 1924. The man who has been on the board for the greatest number of years is hr. Charles Holmes who became a director in 1916 when the school was established as a community high school, ftp. E.G.

The inserts for the various sections wore done with two exceptions, by Martha Helen Llngwall. The local Insert v:as done by Mr. Guy HcMaster, presi- dent of the high school board. The athletic in- sert was completed by Phyllis Thalnann. Cartoons wore drawn by Manosa Edwards, Phyl- lis Thalmann, Nodra Howe, and Joan Anderson. Draw- ings of buildings and tho picture for the dedicat- ion page were done by Manesa Edwards. A few of the small picturos were traced on the stencil from plates sent out by mimeograph companies for this purpose. After the drawings had boon visaed by Miss Frey, she transferred thorn to their respective stencils. This procedure was made easier with the now drawing plate mineoscope which was purchased by the school board at the beginning of tho year. New stylii add to tho efficiency of the work pro- duced. The mimeograph process was much enlightened this year by the uee of an automatic feed, an attaclunont which was purchased by tho school board. Each page of the annual had to go through the mim- eograph four times—two for the border on each side and two for printed material on both sides. The printed pages wore done by Kenneth Krans• print shop according to a new process, offset printing. The binding was done by Pflstoror of Galesburg, all the pugos being arranged in order previous to its being 3ont to be bound, by the staff. Before any of the articles were typed, they were checked for sentence structure by Miss Tatman. Miss Froy supervised the arrangement of material, cutting of 3toncils, placing of drawings, and runn- ing tho material off on the mimoograph. Mr. C.. A. Ekstrand put the final o.k. on material before and after Its arrangoment on tho stencil. JOURNAL Editor-in-chief...............Margaret Clifford Senxcr Associate Editors . .

Ekstrand as the chief adviser for its publication. Prev- ious to this tlire the high school literury society which met onco a month, wrote up all school news events. The pupils, under the guidance of Mr. Ekstrand, decided they would like to see this news in printed form. Thus did the Journal of Oneida high school originate. The editor that first year was Charles Leight- on who was assisted by Ruth Shaw, tho associate editor. Editors and assistants for the following years were: second year; editor-in-chief. Ward Rowe; associate editors, Kuth tocKie and Fern John- son; third year: editor-in-chief, Margaret Thal- mann; associate editors, Lawrence Gingery and Jane Thayer; fourth year: editor-in-chief, Elizabeth Porter; associate editors, Jane Thayer, Evelyn Johnson, Louise Ericson, Dorothy Peterson, and Hester Clearwater; sixth year: editor-in-chief Dorothy Peterson; associate editors, Louise Eric- son and Hestor Clearwater; seventh year; editor-in- chief, Margaret Clifford; associate editors, Phyllis Fifer and Manosa Edwards. With the exception of the hectographed April issue of the 1951-32 school year, the Journal was printed during the first four yours of it3 exist- ence. The paper was printed first in Knoxville, later by the Register-: il office, and finally in Galva where tho cheapest ratos were available. Due to lack of fund9 20 dollars was necessary for each issue, in the fall of 1932 the staff began mimeo- graphing each publication. The 3taff for the first yoar’s publications was composed of 16 members. The ■ next year the number increased to 23 and reached its zenith in tho 1931-32 year with a total of 32 members on the staff. Since then the total has wavered between twenty-five and thirty-one. The efforts of Mr. C. A. Ekstrand as chief adviser for the project were supplemented in 1932 by the helping hand of hiss Helen Frey when the mimeographing of the paper first began. ; i t K 0 f k - '4 i i. ;2BSnaEEEETa GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION f ti i 'i ri ? ►j f t At the beginning of the school year the girl athletic association met and chose the following girls as officers for the year: president--Lois Adams; vice-president--Nedra Howe; secretary-trea- surer--Martha Helen Lingwall.

Previous to the year of 1934-35 a representative was elected from each class to sit in this group and offer suggestions on matters brought up before the organization. At the beginning of this year the studont council was in charge of the freshmen initiation party held at the high school gymnasium, Friday evening, September 14. The group was the sponsorer of a program heU February 22 at the high school gymasium in honor of the various historical anniversarios occuring during the month of February. t f I SC t i sac 3ST. Lati BASEBALL i Behind the stellar pitching of the Rylander brothers Cneida copped second in the north county league and in the championship play-offs at Lcke Storey took third place in the Knox county stand- ings by defeating the strong Maquon team. Oneida got off to a good start by taking their first three games by fairly comfortable scores. Rio fell, 8 to 1, in the first game of the season. The second game was a thriller, Oneida coming from behind in the late innings to take the struggle from Altona by a 5 to 3 score. In the fourth game Oneida received their first set-back when they were defeated by Victoria, 7 to 4. It was in the form of an upset as Victoria was supposed to have a rather weak team, Rio, the weakest team in the league, having beaten them de- cisively a few weeks earlier. h'ataga again fell in their second meeting with Oneida, the score being 10 to 5. 1'n the second game with Victoria, this gome being played at One- ida, the home team was trounced 5 to 1. With this defeat things began looking bad for any possible chance of taking first place in the north league. They looked still worse when Altona defeated them by a 7 to 1 score. Only one game remained--that one with Rio. If Oneida won, a tie- would result between them and Victoria for second place honors, Altona already having first place cinched, although it was a rath- er raggedly played game Oneida won, 7 to 4. The play-off v.ith Victoria was .ohe’ of the most thrilling ever witnessed at Lions' Field. The game turned out to be a slug-fes-t, and was so long in being played that the lights had to be turned on to allow the game to be finished. Victoria for- ged Into an early lead, five runs crossing tba plate in their half of the second inning, and at the end of the fifth the score stood 8 to 7, in (continued after basketball page) t 3S3E 2K23E BASEBALL TEAM Front Row: Back Row: Sam Hannam, Lawrence Krans, Sam Rowe, Lawrence Carlson, Keith Rylander, Kenneth Wiles, Dale Bowman, Duane Rylander.

The play, which contained both comedy and mystery, was much enjoyed by the audience. Lawrence Carlson took the part of the old mountaineer farmer, Mr. Sims, who finally allowed his da ighter Sally, to go to college. Cousin Sus- ie, Sally's aunt, who thinks going to college is just foolishness, was portrayed by Cleo Gehring. Sam Rowe took the part of Johnnie, Cousin Susie's nephew, and whom she is trying to force into a marriage with Sally. Marvin Marshall, a young min- isterial student, who helps to gain Mr. Sim's con- sent to allow Sally to go to college was played by Emery Brown. The part of Roderick Rochester or Hobo , a college footb 11 hero, who falls in love with Sally, was taken by Bruce Gehring and the part of his sister, Patricia was taken by Jean Adams. Richard Osberg, as Adolphus, the groen freshman, by his provoking slowness and wisecracks gave op- portunity for plenty of laughs. 3am Hannam and Margaret Clifford were very dignidied as Professor Crocketf and hiss Weaver, officials at the college. Violet Olson, Hanosa Edwards, Ruth Olson, Phyllis Fifer and Gladys- Selman made a group of peppy co- eds cheering for their college. Act I took place at the Sims' home and remain- ing acts at Blake college. The plot of the play was centered around Sally's dosire to go to col- lege. Sally's aunt. Cousin Susie, even accuses her of stealing the money so that she go, but by Hobo's efforts she is proved innocent. Instead of Sally it is Johnnie who has taken the monoy. The play ends happily for Sally and Hobo and al- so for Marvin and Patricia who had also fallen in love. The play was a success financially as over fifty-eight dollars was taken in. ti 0 2SCI S53SS ifrfctefcX A !S3K ssras: =5 R i t) ctf SU'A«i� .fr HfthO J 1.

The palatial home of a wealthy matron Gener- va Clewz, furnished the setting for the play. The story and action of the drama centered around the escapades of the matron's young nephew, Benton Clewz. The absent-minded Mr. Hornburg was the ad- mirer of Generva Clewz, and Blimmers served as her faithful though deaf housemaid. The vamp, Glenna Wetherby, and Jim Feeney, the villain, caused Gener- va a great deal of vrorry. Much to the liking of Miss Clewz was the society girl, Carolyn Burt, who finally gained the young Benton as her ardent dev- otee .

Memories When one delves into the archives of„’the school history of Oneida High he finds recorded the names of those of the pest who have helped to make our school of the present. According to the rocords, tho first class to graduate from 0. H. 3� was that of 1891. At that time there were nine to graduate. In the following year thoro were- sixain 1893 there were nine, in ±894 there were seven and in 1895 there were twelve who graduated. In 1896 only three graduated and in 3897 seven graduated.

Two classos had fourtoen, two eight, one twelve, one had nineteen and one three. While visiting at the school, ono is remind- ed of various changes since the old 'days''. The basement was modernized in', 1925-26. Until that time there was only a place for the furnace. There are' now, a recreation room, infirmary and rest rooms. Lighting is furnished by electricity, water is furnished by means of sanitary fountains, all of these things are great'improvements to an old but serviceable building. Class rooms have boon added here and there by moans of partitions’, and the stage makes a very good library source. All students of the high school have an op- portunity for the benefits of gymnastics v hich v;as initiated by ?,lildrcd Peterson and is being contin- ued by Helen Frey. All of us as alumni realize that our high school days, as such, are over,.but we still have much to learn from the schools as they exist to- day.

Some of them later mude this village thoir hone, and many of their descendants are still living n Oneida and the surrounding territory. The first families came as early as 1836, lo- cating on farms in the western part of these town- ships. The Wetmores, Hammonds, Cranes, Chapmans, Camo3, Moshiero, VVykoffs, Y ilmots, Robbinses, Sogc3, Calkinses, and the Powells came from lev York and Hev England. Some made the journey by team and wagon, others by way of the Great Lakes to Chicago and then to Knox county. It v as 1850 before Chicago had a railroad con- nection with Wow York. Thi3 made the people of Knox county, who were largoly from the eastern states, anxious to have a rail connection with Chicago. The Military Tract Railroad, which later ae- came a part of the C.B. and Q. railroad in which Knox county poople were interested, v as incorpor- ated in 1851. The stations wore to be seven or eight milos apart. Wataga,' Altona, and Galva wore the points chosen for stations in this vicinity. There was no intontion on the part of the railroad to havo a station at Onoida. It was the work of two mon who carriod out tho idea of havxng a town and station hero. F.C. Camp and 3yron Y ost dc- sorvo honorable mention. F. C. Camp first located near Ontario, and tho Ontario school was first called the Camp school. In 1336 Byron Y cst came to Illinois from Now York and spont tus early life in Galesburg his father being one of tho five men who laid out that city. In 1853 West and Camp formod a partnership and bought a tract of land situated in soctions 35 and 36, Ontario township through which the railroad survey had beon made. Later thoy plotted a town site on part of it. It v as named Oneida after Onoida county. New loriL-- mnny of the pcoolc having como from tho place. In the fall of 1854 tho first store was open- od by Milos and St.John oast of whero the park now is. About tho some time Camp and Y ost built a large throc-3tory hotel where tho stores of Con- yors, Higgins, and Hagbcrg now are. It was com- pleted and under tho management of Mr. Camp and oponod to tho public about Christmas time. Camp V, l was also tho first postmaster and began his duties about this time. Tho first construction train roached Oneida November 2, 1854, and not long after that the road was completed to Galesburg. Tho railroad company was much opposed to a station at Oneida. It is 3aid that freight was piled up along tho track and the railroad company was almost forced to stop tho trains. The promotors of the town offored to givo the ground for a depot and yards. Eventually a depot was built much to tho satisfaction of all concerned. By tho sumnor of 1855 a numbor of familios had located in the town. These wore: P.C. Camp, J. Kenney, E. Childs, S. Cooley, M. Osgood, . JUJ. Rodgers, and others. Rodgers built tho first dwolling house in Oneida. The building still stands across tho street on tho corner north of the Prosbytorina church. A school house was built where tho Methodist parsongago stands. Mary Alim. West was tho first toachor and later was county suporintendant of schools. Many years later tho school building was moved to tho A.J. Roo farm-- its prosont cite, A Fourth of July colobration was held this same yoar. Tho occasion also celebrated tho arriv- al of tho railroad and the bright future of the town and surrounding country. You nay believe it or not , a3 Ripley says, but it was estimated that thcro woro 8000 people present. The colobration was carried out in truo pioneer stylo with a frob dinner, spoechos, band music, and all tho things that went with an old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration. Oneida was incorporated as a village in 1858. V .B. Lcbaron, F.C. Camp, II.S. Sage, J.M. Brown, and J.M. Fleming were oloctcd trustees with LoBar- on as presdient of tho board. In 1869 Onoida was incorporated as a city, and S.F. Jclliff bocano tho first mayor. Oneida was fortunate in having a good loca- tion for business. It was tho noarost railroad point for all thc fcrtilo prairie country west and nerthv est reaching to the Mississippi river. This hclpod the city make a steady growth both in popu- lation and in business. Later tho towns to the west and north that had boon located on railroad lines gradually got tho businoss from tho terri- HE IH2 y resize ,v ! rrT3E3aflE2r: L= tioi’y the buuinoss of which had formerly como to Oneida. At the height of its prosperity Oneida had a population 1200. At ono period in its history thcro were throe dry goods 3torc3, two hardware 3toro3, 3cvcn gro- ceries, throe wagon factories, a carriago factory, seven blacksmith 3hop3 with seventeen blacksmiths, and a flour and grist mill. A list of the namos and locations of the men who were in business 55 years ago may bo of inter- est. George Conyers was selling groceries in tho brick building where Calkins' furniture store now is. East of this was D. Hamilton's blacksmith shop, to tho south Pratt's drug store, Potorson's Jewolry store, Jonos' moatmarkot, Prouty'3 gro- cery, and a rostaurant. (The buildings south of Calkins' furnituro storo to this point v oro burn- ed in tho fall of 1914.) Besides this group of stores thoro were othors--I!arsh's hardware,' Fost- er's dry goods storo, Stephenson's dry goods storq Montgomery's rostaurant, Muir's dry good3 storo, and Dingman's dry goods store. Across tho stroot south was Mrs. Cunningham's millinory shop and a- bovo it was Buckley's photograph gallery and then the G.W. Roo's wagon carriago and blacksmith shops. Across tho stroot north of the Methodist parsonago was F.II. Jelliff's furnituro storo and on the cor- ner north was Montgomery's livory stable. Dr. Mar- tin was conducting a throe-story hotel. West of thi3 wa3 a building Dr. Brown used for his office, Hannon's shoo 3toro, Hash and Drinklc's grocery, Bristol's carriage shop with Cooley's blacksmith shop in tho roar. Russell's grocery stood next with Matson's harness shop on tho prosent sito of the Anderson 3tntc bank. (The hotel and all this row of building3 burned during February 1887.) A- cross the 3troot toward tho dopot was Montgomery's news 3tant (Mr. Montgomery was publisher of tho 0- ncida News), tho Anderson and Murdock bank—called tho Oneida Exchnngo bnnk--and thon tho post office. Culton's blacksmith shop was across the stroot from Clyde McCulloch's home. A.S. Edwards' livory stable was west of that homo and oast of Culton's shop on this stroct, back of tho hotel, was anoth- er livery. On tho corner where Gramps' poultry and cream station is there was a large planing mill and pump factory. Later this building was torn down and about 1878 a cooperativo choose fac- tory was built on the sito. This latter venture h h lastod only a short timo• About 18B0 McConchj.o brothers bought tho building end usod it for thoir wagon, carriago, and blacksmith shops. Another blacksmith shop stood whero Paul Ilannam’s filling station is now located. Nolcon mado wagons on tho prosont site of tho elevator.

William McConchic, who was a boy whon tho mine was in operation, know a great doal about it as ho had boon in tho mine. It ox- tonded north and northoaot. There was an entry under tho railroad, north of tho depot. Much coal was minod from undor tho park, but finally tho ground bogan to settle in placos on tho railroad grounds, and tho company stopped oporation of tho mino. A largo enclosed olovatod tank, with a wind- mill on top, stood ovor tho woll north of the de- pot. Often tho trains stopped here to take wator.
