Two representatives are chosen from each class for the Student Council. iimmiii[3iiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiiiiiiiiiir3:iiiiiMiiiic]iiiiihiiiiioiiiuiiiii'iniiiiiiiiiiiic]miiiiiiiiic3iimniiiiiuiiiiiHin!!C IIC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3lllllllll1liC3lllllllllll[C3linil|lllllC3IIIIIIIIIIMC3l!llllllllltC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3IIIHIIIIIIIt3IIIIIIIIIIIIC31lllllllllirilC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3lllllllllillC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3lllli1IIIIIIC3!IIIIIIIIIIIC3llllllllllllC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3lllllllll]IIC rttinra «]!IIIIIIIIIIIC]|||||||||lll[3llllltllllllC]IIIIIIIIIIIIC]IIIIIIIIIIIIC]IIIIIIIIIIIIC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC]IIIIIIIIIIIIC]llli:ill[3lllllllllllir3![tlllllllllC]||li(IIIIIIIC2:illllllllll[]|||||||||||inilllllllllllC]l!� % □ g Edward Moffett Athenaeum; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3; Stunt Show 2, 3, 4; Vice-President of Class 2, 3; Latin Club 2; Class President 4.

C. H. S. We established order by electing Charles Campbell as our president and Marvin McHaley as vice president, and in order to record our activities, we chose Harold Parsons to perform this duty. Our finances were taken care of by Elizabeth Coulter. Of course we had our pleasures along with the work and the crowning event was a picnic which later proved to be an annual occurrence. After the greenness wore off, we became members of the Sophomore class. At this time we were left to ourselves and the first necessary procedure was the election of officers. Mildred Bess was elected president; Edward Moffett, vice-president; Marvin McHaley, secretary, and Norma Ippolito treasurer. As expenses were always present we gave a program to raise the necessary funds. In the winter our annual bobsled party was given. The year of nineteen hundred twenty-five saw our number dwindled to sixty-four, ar.d our responsibilities greatly increased. We chose for our president Harold Parsons; for vice-president we chose Charles Campbell; secretary Pauline Corbly and treasurer Herbert Kemp. Money matters seemed to be the predominating issue of the year. In the early part of the year the benefit movie “A Kiss for Cinderella” was sponsored by the Junior Class. During the month of March we presented the play “The Goose Hangs High” which proved to be a success both artistically and financially. The Junior Girls’ Basket Ball team had a very successful season and was awarded the silver trophy. The last and greatest event of the year took place when the Juniors entertained the Seniors with a banquet at the Legion Hut. The Senior year proves to be the year in which the responsibilities are the greatest. In organizing, Edward Moffett was chosen president, Charles Campbell vice-president, Dora Ireland secretary and Arva Rodeen treasurer. The class made known their desire to continue with the Student Council and so it was reorganized to act during the year. The Stunt Show was put on by the class with the cooperation of the other classes and organizations in order to meet the expenses for the Reflector. Later in the year came the baccalaureate, the class play and the commencement exercises, which was the closing event. The class of nineteen hundred and twenty-seven leaves P. C. H. S. feeling that they have gained much while there and hope that they have done their part in bettering their school.

CLASS POEM Four years we labored in P. C. H. S., We had our failure, fun, and success. Each time we failed, we lost with a grin, And arose with determination, we were out to win! We studied and played like all the rest; In all things we tried to do our best. Now we stand ready, the victory is ours; Leaving life’s training school, where we spent many hours. Many a good time we had while here, Each day learning something throughout the year; The friends we made as time went past Are the kind which we’ll keep to the very last. Graduation time has come once more, We’re leaving the old school we’ve learned to adore. We hope as we go, those who take our place, Will do their best in this knowledge race. Commencement time is also here, It’s of our future now that you will hear. We’re beginning to live and use what we’ve learned, Which through four years of work we’ve surely earned. —Mildred Bess :iiiiiiiniiiiniMiiiiiiiiioiiiiiii!iiiioiiiiiiiii !ic}iiiiiiiiiiiiuiiHiiiiiiiin!niiiiiiiiioiiii!iii!iiit3iiiiiiiiMii{ :« oiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiinmiiimuiniiiiiimiiiuiiimtiiiiiuiiimiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiitiiiiuiimiiiiiioiiimiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiH • ]iiiiiiMiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiiiiiiiiii(]iiiiiiiiitiit]iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiMiiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiii[]iMiiiiiiiii[]iiiuiiiniiiiiiiiiMi[]iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiii;!i[:!'

Why will everyone insist on getting married? Yes, here 1 am seated at my desk in the offices of the Johnson Matrimonial Bureau—Satisfaction Guaranteed. What’s this! An announcement? Arva Rodeen, the Swedish songstress, to Clark Alford, recently divorced for the fifth time. Well, well, another of my old class settled. Last week I completed the arrangements for the wedding of Tillie Blackmore to Fred Bennett, the famous hog-raiser. I also helped to join Pauline Goodwin, Marian Anderson, Bessie Foster, and Lottie Patton to eminent fanners. I do hope that love will reign peacefully, because I’ll go broke if I have to refund their money. But I must get along with my work. Why, this isn’t a marriage application. It’s an offer to join a basket ball team started by the famous Siamese Twins, Pauline and Marguerite Corbly (Mrs. Guy Davis). Pauline states that Naomi Ward, Cleo Ross, who recently left her husband, and Lorene Kingren, who resigned her position as private secretary to the President of United States, had accepted. How I should love to sign up. I feel that my mission in life is too great to be given up. Think of all the children who can bless Aunt “Emmie” for their existence. Help, here’s a book agent! Why, I do declare, it’s Alice Carlson. How are you? Have you seen any of our class lately? Dora? What’s Dora doing now? Head of the Bureau for the “Emancipation of Women.” Well I’m not surprised, Dora always was amitions. So she wants to get married? I have just the man for her—Wendell Cornell, the famous woman hater and head of the movement, “Down with the Skirts.” I’m sure they will make a wonderful pair, so well matched. What books are you selling, Alice? A book on “How to Grow a Washable Mustache” by Raymond Nelson. Well, for old time’s sake, I’ll buy one, although I can’t see what earthly use I’ll have for it. “The Correct Way to Study Physics” by Russell Hanson and George Edward Simpson. I do wish that book had been written when I went to school. Who did you say wrote a book on “Electromagnets”? Franklin Peer? Some of the arguments he and Mr. Simpson used to have must have helped him. So Catherine Beland is a French teacher! I bet she’s glad that Cleo Ross isn’t around to correct her. Oh, by the way, Alice, how many have remained in Paxton? Lillie Carlson is the town gossip! Why, how did that ever happen? And Evelyn Swanson is an old maid. I imagine Lillian Ernst makes a wonderful nurse, but I can’t imagine Elizabeth Coulter as “Champion Butter Churner.”, Who’s Chief of Police now? Harry Croft! Not really! So Kenny is head ‘ coach at the High School? I wonder if he teaches his team the correct way to acquire caps ? I read a good report of the Ford County Farm Bureau the other day. Who’s at the head of it now? Lucille Ekbom and Donald Johnson, well of all things. I heard that he had raised a new brand of alfalfa. Y'ou must be going? I wish you could stay longer, but I suppose you are busy. Good-bye.

What’s this, another ad? | The Snappy Dresser.’’ Ed Moffett, chief salesman for ladies’ hosiery, i Marvin McHaley, model for Collegiate styles, why I thought Mac was a | Psychology professor. I s’pose he couldn’t spell psychology, so he had to | give it up. Byrnina Newkirk, model for ladies’ dresses. Isn’t it lovely that | they can all be together? I can’t imagine our dignified president selling I ladies’ hosiery, though. Now this is more like a marriage application. Dear Madame: I am tall, not unattractive, have black hair which is curly when I curl it, have brown eyes and an extremely sweet disposition. I am, at present, a movie actress, having taken the place of Pola Negri in the movie world. I should like to marry in my profes-| sion. Sincerely yours, Frances Callison. I Now let me see, Ah—just the man, Laurence Noble, the greatest living | impersonator of Abraham Lincoln. I must write him immediately. I wonder what they’re putting up on that sign board over there. An §j ad for Campbell’s “Freckless Cream,” guaranteed to give the face an uni- | form color, with no splotches, Charles Campbell, president. I do hope Red = doesn’t use the cream on his face. His freckles made him very distinguish- | ed looking. But what’s this? “The Perfect Marcel,” demonstrated by | Russell Moline. Why, the deceitful creature! I thought his hair was | naturally curly. Oh good! A new show coming to town. Lillie Volden in | the new “Blonde Revue,” co-starring with the famous dancing trio, Ken- | neth Anderson, Earl Anthony, and Grant Tinberg. I must go and see it i when it comes. Here’s the applicant for the stenographic position. Why, it’s Nita Morris! How are you, Nita? That’s fine, and so Wayne is selling chocolates. I know if he sells them as fast as he used to eat them, he will be a great success. So Harold Johnson is a druggist, and Norman Swanson is getting rich selling prescriptions. Mildred Bess, Edna Peterson, Hazel Sharpe, and Lucy Spicer are all teaching? I do hope they don’t giggle as much as they used to. La Vaughn Risser is an artist’s model? For goodness sake! I believe she is just the person to get for “Kippy” Todd, who is now manager of a ranch in Arizona. So Leona Parker is married? Goodness, I’m about the only one left in the “Land of the Free.” What’s Porter Orr doing? Baseball? I’m not surprised. I imagine all the girls are crazy about him. Myrtle Volden and Herbert Kemp are both living in ibson City? I heard the other day that Myrtle was slowly taking the ace of John Anderson, the great fortune teller, in that community. Yes, Nita, you’ll do very well. You may start work to-morrow. Almost noon—I must hurry. Dear Madam: My wife has divorced me, I run a chicken farm, I can’t take care of |the chickens and the house too. I wanta’ wife quick.

I prefer a musical woman. 1 would be a good husband, keep-| ing the marriage vow in every sense of the word. I’ll send the money as | soon as I hear from you, not before. Hum! I suppose he thought I’d cheat him. Oh well! It’s just the | Scotch creeping out. I wonder which of the two famous pianists would be the better for | him, Ruth Laurence or Hazel Lindell? You know they recently composed a | new variation of “Chop Sticks,” which has taken the musical world by | storm. Someone told me not long ago that Harold Parsons, manager of the | groceries for “Ladies Only,” was courting Miss Laurence. If he is still as | fickle as he used to be, I shouldn’t advise her to marry him. § Time for lunch, and look at that stack of letters! But if I hurry I can | get through with them this afternoon. The only thing that inspires me to | attack that pile is the hope that among them is my long awaited proposal. | You see, I still remember Miss Washburn’s admonition, “Never give up, | love will come some day.” c Donald McKnight.

H. S., filled with | learning and confidence. But the upper classmen took things in hand and I freshman hair was less evident. (“Bush” Brown was “Baldy” then). Our | class president was Bruce Turner and our class advisors were Miss Ham-| mond and Mr. Garnett. We settled down to business in our studies and rep-| resented ourselves very creditably in them, as well as in other activities | such as the Stunt Show, (’member those Babies?) a bob-sled party, and | two picnics. | In 1925 only fifty-four of us came back to the “fold,” but in spite of | our sorrow we tightened our belts (that is, the stronger sex) and took a 1 new lease on life, due to the knowledge we had so painfully acquired the g year preceding. Our president that year was Maurice Sexton and our ad-| visors were Miss Hammond and Miss Teters. Besides the Stunt Show and | our usual picnics, the boys took the inter-class basketball trophy. We were | represented in most of the athletic teams. When class president, Clarence Stiegman, rapped for order at our first § class meeting this year, a few more were on the missing list, but instead of | bemoaning our fate we dauntlessly started to educate ourselves and to get 1 money, with which to banquet the Seniors. Our athletes by this time had | some experience, and performed very well in the various branches of sport. | They will form a valuable nucleus for next year’s team. Our class play | “Dulcy,” was a success financially and the performance of the cast was very | pleasing. The class party was very well attended and it was enjoyed im-| mensely. This was due to the many original costumes, (by “Dode,” etc.) | various games, and the wonderful “eats.” In the three years we have 1 glorified (?) P. C. H. S., our class has gradually come to constitute a large | portion of the band, orchestra, and the glee clubs, as well as being active in | athletics. We hope that when we are brilliant .dignified Seniors, we will continue | our record as a class. The Juniors—a peppy bunch we see, At one time they were babies; But now are Seniors-to-be, A fine set of gentlemen and ladies. And next we saw them as the “Gumps,” As Sophs we knew them well, This year they took the prize as toys, For at impersonating they excel. But as we look to the future, I’m sure you’ll notice that fate Has a lot of good luck kept in store For the Class of ’28. | ♦iitJiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiitJiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiitiiiiiitiiiiiHiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiimiiiiiaiMiiiiH i ophomntfs •: 3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3IIIIIIIIIIIICa]li:illlllllC3lllll!IIIIIIC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3nilllllllll[3llllin!llilUlllllllllllinilllllllllllE];i:illllC3llllllllllllC3llllllllllllC]||||||||||||[3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3lllllinilllE2IU SOPHOMORE GROUP | Top Row—Loraine Hagens, Loretta McLaughlin, Evelyn Curtis, Violet Martin, Gladys Tibby, Opal McHaley, Irene Corbly, Irene Remley, Mabel Belaud, Ruth Adamson, Howard Miller, Willard Parker, Wen-j? dell Tibby, Emerson Gentry.

C. H. S. We numbered fifty-nine strong; and our brilliancy swelled out upon the air and was felt by everyone, even the dignified. During the first year, being Freshmen and blessed with the usual amount of greenness and modesty, we attended mainly to our business which kept us well occupied. We had two picnics which were enjoyed by all. The class is proud of the fact that in our first year we were represented in the following activities: Band, Orchestra, Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, and the Student Council. We were also the first FYeshmen Class to enter the new building of Paxton Community High School. Our first class meeting was, of course, the most important. Our class officers were chosen as Stanley Watts for class president, John Moline our vice-president; John Kemp our secretary; and Irene Corbly our treasurer. These officers served us faithfully during the year. Our second entrance was made in September, 1926, when we came in as Sophomores. As Officers we chose John Moline our president; Horace Shaw, our vice president; Wayne Canney, our secretary, and Albert Hill our treasurer. Many of our class are stars in athletics and other activities. We had three men on the second team in basketball. This briefly states the history of our class. Although great achievements have been made this year, it is hoped greater ones will be made next year. hlt]||IIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIII!U[]lllllllllllininillllllllE3llllllllli)IUIIIIIIIIIIIIOIIIIIIIIIIIIC3!lllllllilllt3IIIUIIIIIII(]lllllllll iiiiiminiiiimiiiiinmiiimMiniiiiiiiiimniiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiii iiC3iiiiiiiiiiiic2iiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiii!iiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiiin!iiiiiiiiiiic3iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiiiiiiiinc]||| iiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiniC' j ' 0]iiiiiiiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiiiC]iiiiiii!iiiit]iiiiiiiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiiiniii!iiiiiii;[]iiiiiiiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiii[]iiiiMiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiiic]iiii!iiiiiii[)iiiiiiiiiiii[]iiiii!iiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiiir]i Top Row—Albert Scatterday, Lucille O’Hare, Clark Karr, Mabel Kroon, John Schofield, L’Dora Meister, James McDevitt, Howard Plackett, El-zora Urban, Dorothy Ketchum, Howard Ransdell, Harold Ransdell, Catherine O’Hare, David McCracken.

The following officers were elected: President------------------------------Velma Puett Vice-President_______________________Ruth Laurence Secretary and Treasurer________________Alice Carlson The club has enjoyed a Thanksgiving party, a Christmas party, an April meeting, and a picnic held in May. The meetings consist of a business meeting, a short program, games, and refreshments. During the district tournament the members of the club sold Eskimo pies and candy. The girls did very well with the sale. The receipts are to go to help complete the equipment of the department. The purpose of the club is to bring the girls of the department together.

It was decided that because of lack of knowledge on the part of the beginning French students, to have only advanced students in the club until the second semester. At this time the others were initiated. Our meetings are held each month on the second Tuesday. We have our business meeting first, then play games, sing songs, and on two occasions we took a journey through France. The games are usually of instructive nature. At these meetings attempts are made to have each one speak in French. We also have asked different members of the faculty to be present at some of our meetings. We have had a most pleasant and pi-ogressive year under the leadership of Miss Strong. • niiiiiiiiiiiiuiuiiiiiiiioiiiiiiiiiiiuiiii!iiiiiiiuiiiiiiiii;!iniiiiiiiiiiioiiiiiiimoiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiiiiiii iiuiiiiiiiiiiioiiiiiiiiiiiciiiiiimiiioiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiii[}iiiiiiiiiiiic]iimMiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiit}iiiiiimiii[]iiiiii!iiiii[iiiiiiiiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiiit]iiiiiiiiiiioiiiiiiiiiii[' � 3IIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIII[3l!lll!illlllMlllllllllllinilllllllllllC]llllllllllll[:illlNlllllliU!lllllllllll!]l!llll!!!!!l[]llll IIIIC]|||||||||||IC3lllill!IIIIIC3llllli:illll[]llllllllllll[JIIIIIIIIIIIIC]llllllllllll[]lu:.

Each month the Latin Club has a meeting followed by a social hour. Programs, consisting of Latin songs, readings on various Latin customs, and other interesting subjects, are rendered. At our last meeting, which was held in the auditorium of P. C. H. S., we initiated the Frosh into our club. When good old spring comes around each year and before ludum is out, we appoint a committee which plans a picnic for us. At this meeting it is our object to have a good time.

The Club entered many entertainments this term, some of the events | being the annual Musicale, the Stunt Show, the annual Spring Contest, and I sang before different organizations, such as the Kiwanis Club and the | Farmers’ Institute. The Club has been very profitable in that it has taken up and has been | successful in singing several numbers. The membership of the Club is sixty-two. This is larger than it has | been for several years. Miss Hazel Lindell has very kindly acted as the pianist of the Club | during this year.

It accomplishes the reuniting of classmates, affords a chance to re- 1 member happenings of school days, and prevents the entire drifting away of school friends who are no more in close communication. It is always 1 one of the gay affairs of the season. The banquet, this year, was held at the Legion Hut, Tuesday evening, December 28. A good representation was present from each of the later E classes. The delicious banquet was served by the Short Cafe. Otis McQuiston, president, presided over the informal toasts, which | followed, with his usual clever witticisms. Toasts were given by Mildred § Allen, Lorene Martin, Orren Pierce, and Donald Kirk. During the short business session, officers for the coming year were § elected. They are: President, Gordon Johnson; Vice-President, Harold | Belton; Secretary, Eva Mull; Treasurer, Irvin Johnson. Formerly only Alumni since the class of ’22 were extended invitations, 1 but this year it was decided to include all Alumni that had ever graduated from Paxton High, thus making it more truly an Alumni affair. After business the party returned unstairs where dancing and card | games were enjoyed for the remainder of the evening. Lorene Martin—one of the Aluni. In collecting Alumni news we have found quite a few graduates have | 1 been married since the Reflector was last published. | Evelyn Swanson________________________________Fridolph Hanson, Rock Island | | Helen Kjellstrand______________________________________Ralph Blaha, Chicago | jjj Raymond Johnson______________________Miss Helen Simpson, Washington, D.

I | The word “Reflector” recalls many a memory, and most of them are pleas- | ant, though sad. To look through the Reflector of ’25 is like reading E. L. | M’s “Spoon River Anthology.” The firm with whom I’m employed is Jos. I. Ryerson Son, Inc., dealers in iron, steel, and metal working machinery. My particular department § is machinery sales. In the evening I go to Northwestern. I work in the daytime and go to school at night. I am taking a general commercial | course, which includes such subjects as economics, psychology, English, finance, accounting, banking, merchandising, marketing, advertising, I journalism, law, etc, etc. Credit is the same as that earned by day students ; fraternal, sport, and so on activities are at par with each other. Often I run into old friends from P. C. II. S. among whom have been “Chub” Holly, Maurice Johnson, Arnold Carlsten, Gordon Johnson, and various others. With best wishes for a successful year-book, I close with the kindest of personal regards. Yours truly, Sidney Johnson THE CLASS OF 1924 Who They Are and Where They Are Just three short years since forty seniors left good old Paxton High and fifty per cent at attending higher institutions of learning, which goes to prove that Paxton Community High is a progressive school.

S. N. U.; Frank Platt, DeKalb; Irma Morrison and Pauline Given, Wheaton; Emily Wylie, DePauw; Harold Hagens, Milliken; Carl Campbeli and Mildred Kirkpatrick, Knox; Russell Johnson, Purdue; Raymond Johnson, Geo. Washington; Arnold Carlsten, U. of I. Pharmacy; Ariine Carlsten, Steven’s Point; Orren Pierce, Peter Rasmussen, Gladys Hodam, Robert Benjamin and Rachel Thompson, University of Illinois. Some of the Class of ’24 who have been “help-mates” are Marion Piele, aymond Johnson, Bessie Steward, Fred Erickson, Lillie Johnson, Robert Moffett, Winona Gardner, Fay and Zeta Jones, and Nina Mullinax. Ebba Tinberg is stenographer for our local clothier, A. E. Sandberg. Elmer Corbly is in California. Walter Swanson, Goldie Carlson, and Viola Gylander are at their respective homes. Frances Glad, Evelyn Turner and Leroy Johnson are clerks for Paxton business firms.

I even had to look up an old Reflector and get a list of the members | before 1 could get very far. I was able to get in touch with most of them. Those of the class of ’20 who are teaching are Agnes Barnes, and | Genevieve Carlsten, Mary Currie, Hazel Horner, Ethel Swanson, and Cath- | erine Thompson. Agnes Barnes is at Roberts. Genevieve graduated from § the Columbia School of Music and is completing her fourth year of teaching 1 public school music in East Chicago. I understand that wedding bells will | ling for Genevieve this summer. Hazel is teaching in Champaign County. 1 The Horners should be remembered with gratitude by the class of ’20. All | our picnics were held in Horner’s woods, and whenever there was a sleigh- | ing party, the Horners were generous with their bobsled and team. Charles Jensen went to Blackburn College and the University of Illi- | nois, and new holds a responsible position in Champaign. Fred La Barre is | is with A. J. Laurence Sons. Lawrence Sackett is with the American 1 Telegraph and Telephone Company, and Vernon Moore is working in Chica- § go. Larry and “Boney” were the “inseparables” of the class. Ruby We- 1 burg is working in Springfield. Catherine Thompson attended school at | Ward Belmont for two years and later graduated from U. of I. She is | teaching physical training in St. Louis. Ethel Swanson is teaching at | Georgetown. Among those who are attending college we find Nobel Johnson, Flor- | ence Bear, and Dean Ireland. “Nobe” went to school in Washington, D. C., | and is now studying Law at Northwestern. Florence Bear and Dean Ire- | land are at the University of Illinois. A goodly number became tired of single blessedness and were married. | Kenneth Smith is living on a farm near Paxton. Maurine Schneider Pierce | makes her home in Detroit. Lois Moffett Williams lives in Bloomington. | Mamie Prestine had charge of the commercial department of Georgetown | High School before her marriage to George La Voy of Miles City, Montana. = Florence Hanson is married too, and living in Chicago. Helen Johnson is now Mrs. Charles Brown of Paxton. Frances Culver graduated from the University of Chicago, and attended Rush Medical College for two years. She was married last summer to Mr. Albert Sutphen, and they make their home in Cleveland, Ohio, where Fran is still going to school. I was unable to secure any information concerning Fannie Watson, Bessie Shinker, Sylvia Funk, and Maurice Levin. Sincerely, Pauline Berquist. From Stevens Point, Wisconsin, we have a letter from Arline Carlsten.f Although very modest about her accomplishments we learn from her letter that she is an honor student, played on the hockey team last fall, is president of the Women’s Chorus, has been elected president of the Pep Club for next year, is on the staff of the school annual, also Primary Council and Y. M. C. A. At the time the letter was written she was practicing on an opera, “The Maids and Middies,” which her opera club was giving the next week. She also mentions hiking, tennis, etc. We wonder what she does with the rest of her time. We are certainly glad she is doing so well and. our best wishes are with her. iOHiiiiiininiiimiii!iiuiiiiiiiiimniiiMiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiNiiiiiicjiiiiiiiiiiMtJiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiii '3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3llllllllllllE]IIIIIIIIIIIIC3IIIIIIIIHIIC3l!llllllllllt3IIIIIIIIIIIIE3IIIIIIIIIIIIC]lllllllltlllC]llllllilllllC]l IIIIIIIIIIC]IIIIIIIIIIIICllllltlllllllC]llllllllllllC]IIIIIIIIIIIIC2ll � C']iiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiiiiiiiiiiC3iiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiijiiiiiiic]iiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiiiiiiiiiiE]ii[iiiiiiiiiEiiiiiiiiiiiii[3iiii iiiic]iiiiiiiiiiii[]iiiiiii:!iiir3i!iiiiiiiiiic}iiiiiiiiiiiic]in 111 iiiiii []iiiiiiiiiinr: Tampa, Florida March 27, 1927. Dear Reflector: On my return from viewing a British Cruiser, now in dock, I found Dora Ireland’s note requesting me to write a letter for the Reflector. I hardly know' how to begin for I could talk forever with my Paxton friends; but 1 shall start by telling you that my visit on the ship was a real treat. We were shown over the vessel by British officers and sailors who were very polite and very interesting to talk to, although I couldn’t understand everything they said. Living in a seaport tow'n is certainly a strange experience for me. The big ships coming and going, the sea gulls, herons, fish hawks, pelicans, and, little sandpipers are always interesting. Hillsborough High is different from P. C. H. S. in many w'ays. There will be tw'o hundred and twenty in the graduating class, also fifty-four instructors. A student is privileged to belong to twro clubs. The clubs are: Applied Arts, Athletic, Castilian (w'hich is composed of Spanish speaking students only), the Cosmopolitan Club that has representatives from tw'enty-eight states and thirteen foreign countries, the Dramatic, Glee, French, Ukelele, Sketch, Etiquette, and many others. The different clubs take turns giving stunts in the assembly which meets once a week. Altogether my Florida experiences have been interesting, although I miss the close companionship of my friends in P. C. H. S. My closest friends here are from Canada, Oregon, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Ohio. We have good times together. I like the Southern girls, now' after I have learned to know them. Florida is a long way from being an “Eden.” We have wharf rats, that climb orange trees and eat oranges and make their nests in high palm trees. We have spiders as big as saucers; but the Southerners seldom kill them for they think they exterminate the roaches which are such a pest. My thoughts wander back to Paxton for: There are no friends like the old friends In that good old town I love— Heartstrings are pulling me home, friends, I’m like a homing dove. And these greetings have no static, They will reach you on the dot, Listen in!—for I’m saying Old school, you’re not forgot. With love and best wishes, Frances Wylie. linilllllll[]IIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIU!IIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIII[]llllllllllll[}IIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIII[]llllllllllllt]||lllllllllir ]iiiiiiiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiii[}iiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiii[3iiiiMiiiiii[]iii!iiiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiii[]iiii!iii[]iiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiii[iiiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiic:i4 5 When coach Orville Roll called for the first football practice of the season, about fifty husky boys came forth to try for a position on the gold and blue team. Among the large squad of mighty warriors there were seven letter men. They were Captain McKnight, fullback; Todd, end; Alford, halfback; Parsons and Croft, tackles; Kemp and Bennett, a letter man at Lead, S. Dak., were guards. Around this group of men the P. C. H. S. football team was built. After about four weeks of hard practice the team was ready for the heavy schedule which they had before them. During the first three or four games of the season it rained a good share of the time making it almost impossible to play good football. Thus the score of Paxton as well as our opponents was very low. Three out of nine games played during the season were ties. Two more resulted in six to seven scores. In these two games Paxton split even with their opponents. There were only two games during the whole season that our opponents scored a large number of points against us. In both of these games one or two of the regulars were out on Recount of injuries and ineligibility. iiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiniMMiiiiiiinMiMmiiiiciiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiinniiiiiiiiiiMtjiiiiiiiiiiiioiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiimic :' iiiiiiiiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiii[iiiiiiiiii iiniiiiiiuiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiMiiiiiiic]iii!iiiiiiiiuiMiiiiMiii[iiiiiiMiiiiit]iiii:iiiniiiiii!iiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiuc]iiiiiiiiiMi[]iiiiiiiiiiiic]ii.:.

Paxton journeyed to the north end of the county to meet the Cabery boys for the first game of the season. The heavy rainfall made the field slippery so it was impossible to gain much ground. The game ended 0-0 tie. The Melvin-Paxton game which took place at Melvin, was a scene similar to that of the Cabery game. The score being a 6-6 tie. The Hoopeston game was a good one in spite of the rain. The whole Hoopeston field was covered with a thick sod which furnished good footing for the players. Haxton held their giant opponents to a low score, and out-played them often. Paxton took Rantoul into camp by a 6-7 score and tied with Coach Arends’ big Fairbury boys. Drummer did not have a chance at either time they encountered their old rivals. Both occasions ended in a 6-0 victory for Paxton. This ended the muddy football season.

About forty boys were on hand when the first call for basketball sounded. All were striving to win a position on the P. C. H. S. basketball team. After a few days of hard practicing, the squad was | cut to twenty-five men and later on to fifteen. When a few games had been played, the ten best men were picked to play the rest of the year. There were some changes made before this time was up on account of ineligibility I of two of the regulars. During the first few games of the schedule many of the men got a | chance to do their stuff in order to find the five most capable men on the | squad. The first game of the season Paxton lost by one point in an over- | time period. The boys had hard luck with their shots during the first few' 5 games losing them by a few points in spite of their many trys for the basket. This was enough to take the pep out of any basketball team, but they | kept up the fight and netted their first victory from the Alumni. A team | which consisted of such players as “Hump” Campbell, “Butter” Johnson, | “Shortie” Pierce, “Sport” Lewis, and “Doc” Belton. After the Christmas holidays the first five was changed around a bit and Hoffman, a new player, was named as the best forward at P. C. H. S. | The other four positions of the team were filled by Captain Alford at the | forward position, Turner, center, and Moffett and Todd as guards. Here is | when real basketball started. The flashy P. C. H. S. first took Rantoul into camp by a good score. Then Drummer and Loda, in which Paxton won two 1 overwhelming victories. They later lost to Rantoul, but came back again | with three straight victories in one week; three teams such as Potomac, | who took second in the county tourney at Danville; Loda, who won their | coounty tournament, and Drummer, our old rival. During the remaining | games of the schedule the P. C. H.
