THE PAXTON HIGH SCHOOL REFLECTOR 6L Ethel Kelly, Jamie Kerr, Don Moffett, Marie Newman, Birdie Sackett, Flos- sie Steele, Bertha Fagerburg, Laura Strong. U. of I. NOTES With the semester exams over we all heave a sigh of relief and look for- ward with pleasure to what the last half of the school year has in store for us. With three defeats hung on i.s our basket ball prospects seem to be pretty poor, but we still have hopes. Last year we made rapid strides toward the head of the list at ti e last of the season, and we hope to repeat the performance. Baseball prospects were never bet- ter for Illinois than they are for this spring. With such veteran “I” men back as Napersteck, Kemman, Thom- as, Huff. Light, Weber, Kempf, Van Gundy and possibly Prindiville, re- porting for practice as well as sev- eral very promising sophomores, w hope for a championship team. Our track, swimming and gym teams also bid fair to be winners. The track team is sure to start near the head of the list of conference teams. The swimming team is sure to be victorious over all its oppo- nents. They have bet;er material out for the teams this year than ever be- fore and Illinois has never been beat- en in the water. The gym team won tno championship last year and with the same men and several others they are pretty sure of the championship again this year. The Paxton boys in the University this year are: ‘ Rusty” Bainum, “Cut” Moffett, “Dauby'’ Froyd, the two “Corks , “Stiffy” Stearns, “Peanut” Sandstedt, and “Dax” McCracken. We understand that they all came out of the exams pretty well. H. O. M. OUR NEW PROGRAM CLOCK The new program clock recently In- stalled in the office has occasioned considerable interest and curiosity among the students. All class calls are now given on time, in time, and by time. The clock has not the fac- ulty of forgetting. All that is neces- sary is to keep it ‘well wound’; and then if battery and bells are in prop- er condition, no further thought is re- quired by either teachers or the old time specially favored bell ringers who were granted office privileges in compensation for services rendered. The following facts have been ob- tained from Superintendent Bainum who planned the work which this clock is, or may be, required to do: The mechanism of the clock, that has to do with the ringing of bells, has what are called program discs. There are four of these, but only three of them are now in use. The other, in due time, will be made to ring two large gongs which are to be placed on the outside of the school building where they can be easily heard on the play grounds, and which will serve as signals to call from ‘play to books . This will make it unneces- sary for the janitor to leave his work in the basement to ring the large bell over the building four or five times each day. Program No. 1 has charge of six bells connected with the high school class rooms, and has the power ana the skill to ring them all at the same instant. As now set, these bells ring twelve times each day. In other words, Program No. 1 gives 72 signals between 8:50 a. m. and 4 p. m. Program No. 2 has time control over the first four rooms or grades, and rings each of the four bells ten times each day, controlling time of roll calls, recess periods and dismissals. Program No. 3 takes care of the
