Advisers On Tuesday, September 6, there arrived at Peoria High School a group of students who, judged by their actions, were new to the school. They were the freshman class of 1925, or more commonly called the class of '29. Now this class is almost out of their freshman year. They will soon be sophomores. They have had a part in Student Government, and they are a part of the student body by action as well as name. Some of their number have brought fame to their class. The most notable are the three men who made their letters in football, a fact which will be remembered for many years. These boys are Russel Page, Marshall Allen, and Vllilbur Bouton. On April 21, the class became better acquainted by having a party in the boys' gym. This was one of the most successful freshman parties ever given. May these students be as happy, as they continue the road of high school life, as they have been as freshmen. 1. Vlass Ulfic-or 1. 2. Advisory Ollicer 25. Advisory Basketball 4. Advisory Baseball 5.

From a beginning in the Senior Girls Service Societyn it has grown into three chapters representing the sophomore, Junior and senior classes, or Gamma, Beta and Alpha Opheleia. It has been the sincere endeavor of every Opheleia girl to give her best in activities for our school, as well as to keep up our scholastic standard. Since the members are elected by the faculty, each girl feels her especial responsibility in deserving the honor of membership. Opheleia was in charge of the Rainbow Football Banquet this year. The every day service has been carried on by helping Miss Fisher in the library, Miss Bartlett in her ofiice, and at the Lost and Found department. The girls sold candy at Thank-U and registered visitors during Go-to- School week. They have tried to help at all times in all things. Our loyal and able sponsors are: Miss Hawkins, Miss W'ilson, Miss Ottenheimer, Miss Boynton, Miss Hayes, Miss Roberts and Miss Coppock. The three highest aims of Opheleia are service, loyalty and friendliness to everyone and everything in our Peoria High School.

For the past few years a magazine has proved to be inadequate for the wants of a high school the size of ours. :X weekly paper was inevitable. The first issue of the Opinion in its new form appeared October 1, a five column, four page paper. Of course in making the change, it meant that new systems, a new style of writing, and new methods of business must be introduced, This called for the co-operation of all concerned. And it was only brought about through the hard work of the faculty adviser, Mr. Muirhead, and the members of the staff, with Dale Phalen as the very capable editor- in-chief. New members had to be added to the stag, it required constant work to put the paper out every week, and an entirely new side of school lifele- the absolute sideeihad to be fully covered, all of these problems presented themselves. Immediately, negotiations were begun for a printing press of our own. With this a better paper was assured, and a much more convenient and practical method of publishing it. :Xt length, through the instrumentality of Mr. Muirhead and Mr. Cromwell, a Hat-bed Campell press, a linotype machine, an intertype machine, a cutter, a folder, a small hand press, and type to print almost anything, were purchased by the Opinion. Now Peoria High School can boast of a very good print shop. The Opinion, however, soon proved too small, and it was enlarged to six columns, which is now its present size. The Opinion as it now stands is a part of the school life. The news in it is not dead from a month ago, but it is timely and that is what counts. Students look to the Opinion for information, not for a record of stories and events of the past month. The Opinion can be said to be strictly a high school product. It is edited by a staff of students, set up by a class composed of students, and printed by students. lt is a students' paper.

This press was bought by the Opinion without any outside aid from the school board. Due to the business ability of Mr. Muirhead, ably abetted by Mr. Cromwell, the Opinion has this year undertaken the publication of a weekly newspaper on its own press. This matter of student publi- cation is one of the greatest steps to be undertaken by a high school and it has been successfully accomplished by Peoria High School.

It combines the memories of school and friends with a chronicle of the year's activities. ln probably no other way can the recollections of faces and events of school and friends, be kept vivid in the minds of those who watched the drama of high school life as it unfolded before them. Out of the custom of devoting the final monthly issue of the Opinion to the Seniors, has developed the idea of an annual, separate in organiza- tion, content, and appearance. ' The staff is entirely separate from that of the Opinion. It is chosen by the editor of the Crest with the helpful suggestions and advice of the facultv. In some respects the magazine form of the Opinion corresponded to that of the Crest, but with the change made by the Opinion to a weekly newspaper, the difference is quite radical. The Crest is now definitely the Annual ofPeoria High School, and not merely the final edition of the month- ly literary magazine. The most noticeable, and probably the most remarkable change in the Annual this year, is the color of the cover. The staff hopes that the color combination of blue and gold will not only be acceptable, but also pleasing to the readers of the Crest. ln conformity with the spirit of progress, the Crest is this year printed on a paper stock much heavier than that used formerly. This paper allows greater clarity and detail in the halftones, besides adding to the value of the Crest in other ways. The staff wishes to thank the representatives of the different organiza- tions who wrote the accounts of their clubs for the year, and also Dale Phalen who wrote the dramatics, and Joe Bosenbury who assisted con- siderably in getting advertisements. Much of the credit for the success of this issue goes to the faculty ad- visor, Mr. Muirheatl. He has spent many weary hours writing, advising, and helping in general. Being the only faculty adviser, more work than usual was piled on his unprotesting shoulders. The staff hopes that they have produced this year an annual which will properly represent the student body and will take a high place among other notable year books. To this end the staff has striven, and they now send the Crest forth among friends, hoping it will uphold the traditions of the past and furnish an inspiration for the future.

This year, however, has been devoted to the presentation of school talent, and many delightful programs have been given. Much credit is due Charlotte Doyle, the chairman of the program committee. 'KThe VVishing XVell, a charming lrish operetta, was the largest under- taking of the year. lts successful presentation on April 8 was the work of the students themselves. Charlotte Doyle was general director, Faye Gehlert, assistant director, Ruth Buck, dramatic coach, Juanita Kime, chorus director, Frances Boston, vocal coach, Katherine Hoagland, ballet, and Gladys Smith, costumes. The proceeds from this production were used to defray the expense of sending the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs and solo contestants to the annual Big Twelve contests held at Springfield. ln this contest, held April 30 and May 1, Peoria High succeeded in taking a generous share of the laurels. Harvey Kuntz placed first in tenor solo work. This is remarkable, considering the fact that he began his training in solo work only a short time before the contest. Helen Strub- har, playing in her usual finished style, won first place in the piano solos. Frances Boston placed second in soprano, Clarence Coons, second in flute, and the combined orchestras, second.

The club meets every second VVednesday, immediately after school. The advisers are Mr. Heghin, Mr. Daily, Mr. Burns, Miss W'atson, Miss Newell, Mr. Murphy and Miss Neville. This year's program have been especially interesting. Several debates by the students and some very educational talks by the faculty advisers were given, besides programs given by outsiders. Among these were an illustrated lecture on Spain and Egypt and talks by Chi Gamble, Colonel B. C. Bryner, Lieutenant Aiken, and Miss Taylor. liarly in the year, the club sponsored a get-together party, and thus established bonds of friendship among the members. - The Social Science Club, strengthened by the loyal support and interest of the students and advisers, bids fair to advance rapidly among the or- ganizations of the school.

Probably Mr. Epstein is explaining to the movie crew what happens when the film is put in upside down. The showing of moving pictures has been thoroughly organized this year. In the past, the motion picture equipment was not used very often, but this year an interesting, instructive, and well organized schedule of movies was presented to the students and teachers of P. H. S. This was made possible through the efficient and well trained organization shown here. The manner of scheduling, advertising, and showing pictures can be com-- pared favorably with many professional moving picture organizations. A series of ten science movies was part of the year's program. These pictures were not only entertaining but were of decided educational value. The price of the science movies was five cents per show. In addition to these a series of five long feature movies were shown after school. The price of these was ten cents, but season tickets were sold for the entire series of fifteen pictures at fifty cents. VVe are proud of the skillful manner in which all films were previewed, repaired when necessary, exhibited, and returned to the distributor in good order.

Last year the shorthand and typewriting teams entered contests at Manual, Macomb, Normal, and Springheld. ln all the contests entered, Peoria High took sixteen first, nine seconds, two thirds, and two fourths. The senior typewriting team won the state championship, while the junior shorthand team placed second in the state. :Xn inter-school contest was also held, and gold, silver, and bronze medals were awarded the winners of first, second and third places in junior and senior typewriting and junior and senior shorthand. At each monthly meeting awards for typewriting and shorthand are given. The Commercial Club which mixes pleasure with its work, has sponsored several social affairs: in October, a kid party, in December, a Christmas party, in March, a card party, and in May a picnic. The crowning event of the year will be the banquet and dance which will be given May 18. One hIl71d7'l'lf thirly one THE CREST 11926 C. M. T. C. The C. M. T. C.

Homer Caldwell Was a member of the all-state Illinois Football Team, and was corporal besides. Cleon Hammond was one of the six members of the Custer Fencing Team, and was also an actor in the Camp Custer Follies. Tom Blender was present for his second year in the cavalry. Mac Tobias and Cleon Hammond were the only soldiers to receive marksman medals from this chapter. A rather crude initiation for the First year men was serving as K. P., or Kitchen Police. The membership of the Peoria chapter, which is open to any C. M. T.

All new members were initiated at this time. November twentieth brought a very entertaining roller-skating party. At the Christmas party on December seventeenth, everyone received a small gift and a candy cane. Practice for the inter-class volleyball tournament began after the initia- tion. The Freshmen were the winners. liiight teams contested in a basketball tournament, in which the Purple team won the greatest number of games. The girls of this team were re- warded with emblems on April 14 at a meeting of the G. A. A. The tennis tournament, posponed last fall, is to be held this spring. The girls have also taken many Saturday morning hikes. On April twenty-third, the G. A. A. and gym classes sponsored an ex- hibit in the boys' gymnasium. Dances and apparatus work were the main features of this program. There were three sweaters, six letters, and eight pins given away in 1925-26. Just as this year has been a very profitable and enjoyable one, we all sincerely hope that next year will be even more so.

Incoming Chiryf The seemingly impossible has been accomplished. Student govern- ment has made its appearance and met with success wherever it has gone. Three years ago an organization known as the Student Police came into existence. The duty of this organization was to keep the corridors free from idlers. Later on a good system of ushering for performances in our auditorium was installed by this body. Further steps along this line proved so successful that now even the study-halls are governed by the students. At the first of this year it was decided to change the name Student Police to Student Prefects, the leaders of the student body. Dick Hoyt was appointed Chief Prefect, and his untiring efforts have had a great deal to do with the success of the organization. The Council has been called Mr. CromWell's right hand. If this is so, then the Student Prefects are the fingers of his right hand.

L. u tc G THE cciRi1-Zsir was Adam and Eva Adam and lalvav was the class play presented by the class of 'l6. Friday evening, November 13. Although the date was unlucky for the production, it did not seem to bother the class any, for the play was put on with no slip or mishap to mar the evenings' entertainment. The cast is as follows: James King, a rich man .... . . .GORDON BRYAN Corinthia, a parlor maid ......... JANE NTCTJOUGAL julie De VVitt, his eldest daughter MAR.IORIE JACKSON Clinton De Witt, his son-in-law ...... LIONEL BALL Eva King, his youngest daughter NVAOLA SULZBERGER Aunt Abby Rocker, his sister-in-law, EVELYN MALEHAN1 Dr. Jack Delamater, his neighbor LUTHER IJEARBORN Horace Pilgrim, his uncle ........., HARVEY KUN'i'z Adam Smith, his business manager, HOWARD BROWN Lord Andrew Gordon, his would-be-son-in-law, HOWARD SEDGYVICK The play was a three act comedy, telling of the trials and tribulations which come to a man who has two young daughters, a worthless son-in-law and an uncle to support. Distracted by bills, he turns the whole family Over to his business manager, and Adam starts Out to manage a family. Thus the play. A A big feature of the production was the third act, an exterior, which showed a farm, with chickens and barn, and all. This was due largely to the stage management of Mr. Epstein, and his able band of co-workers. The play was a feather in the cap of the class of '26, and was made so by the able coaching of Miss Stuntz. Om' lzzmdred forly one XA 3 TlHIlE QRIEST was Dunlop H ulsebus Buck Crawsluxw Mayer Irelanu Ewcrt Trysting Place Booth Tarkington's The Trysting Place was jusendra's first after- noon production of the year. Fred Crawshaw, Ruth Buck, Elvira Ewert, Pilizabeth Dunlop, Cliford Ireland, and Everett Hulsebus were the mem- bers of this cast. The play was a farce, with all the customary hasty explanations, hurried exits, and ludicrous situations. The play took place in a supposedly quiet hotel lobby, but for some reason or other, the plot of the play refused to keep the lobby quiet, and through the able efforts of the actors, the audience was not quiet either, their outbursts ranging all the Way from titters and giggles to loud and hearty guffaws. Miss Cornelius was the coach, and this Was her First play at Peoria High School since her coming this year. Nlorris Kayser Parker Frankel Buck Krciter Spitler Stiehl One hundred forty two iriaiiii ciaissir 11926 Fiat Lux The December .Iusendra production consisted of two plays presented on Friday afternoon, December 18. The first play was l'Fiat Lux, coached by Miss Newell. The cast consisted ofDon Morris, Francis Keyser, Helen Stiehl, and George Parker. The singers for the play were Ruth Buck, Faye Gehlert, Rose VVeinstein, Janet Frankel, l,ewis Bartley, Otto Kreiter, Fverett Hulsebus, Howard Sedgwick. The play was not in a comic vein, and showed how the light of realiza- tion of the Christmas spirit came to an old man whose ideas of life and the world were perverted. The outstanding feature of the whole play was its remarkable recep- tion. Not a murmur, not a giggle was heard during the Whole production, thus enabling the actors to play their roles to the peak of perfection. Enter the Hero The second play, Enter the Hero, also introduced some new actors to the Peoria High School stage. The play was presented in a very comical manner, and left the audience with a smile at the Final curtain. The whole plot centered around a girl who was in love with love, and took it out on a poor unsuspecting young man who had been in Brazil for two years. As usual in comedies, complicated situations arose. biliary Nachman, Evelyn Bosenbury, Paul Pottker, and Iola Claypool made up the cast, which was coached by Miss Stuntz.

The play centers around a large ruby, stolen by thieves from the idol of Klesh, and the efforts of the priests to recover it. The audience received it with inevitable shrieks, as a door would open in the dark or a hand appear at a window. The play was coached by Miss Cornelius, and the cast consisted of Walter Lewke, James Van Cleave, Frank Pocklington, Paul Pottker, Harold Evans, Paul Best, Richard Simpson, and Oscar Lung. THE OBSTINATE FAMILYH To relieve the tenseness caused by the first play, the comedy, The Obstinate Family followed. It shows the natural perverseness of women, and the natural obstinacy of men. An outstanding feature in this play was the pantomime of Fred Meigs and Gertrude Hayes as the butler and maid. Mr. Burns coached the play and the cast was made up of Merton Fuller, Blanche Benton, Cleon Hammond, Jean Brown, Fred Meigs, and Gertrude Hayes. HAMMON D-B ROWN MEIGS-HAYES BENTON-FU LLE R One hundred forty four g . . 'iriHnE CREST H926 I French Toyshop The modern language department contributed its share towards Peoria High School's dramatics when they presented In a French Toyshop on March 29. This skit was Written by Georgette Werner, a French student, who directed and staged it. The cast was composed of Miss Buswell's first hour junior class. The action centered around the antics and per- formances of the toys for the customers Who came to purchase them. Maraine de la Guerre The second play on this program was Marraine de la Guerren CThe War God-Motherj, a one-act play with a charming love story. The entire play was in French, and concerned the arrival of an American doughboy, who has been corresponding with a French girl Whom he supposed to be very old. Naturally complications result, as they will in all good comedies. The play was coached by Miss Bunch, and the cast included Eleanor Qlack, Katherine Jamison, Harriet Todd, Noala Salzberger, and Dick Hoyt. Martha Price gave the explanation in English before the curtain. One hundred forly five THE CREST 11926 The Admirable Crichton 'iThe Admirahle Chrichton, presented Friday evening, May the seventh was Jusendra's evening production and supreme achievement of this year. The novel scenic effects, especially the exterior scenes on the desert island, were accomplished by the combined art and industry of Miss Newell, faculty sponsor ofjusendra, Mr. Epstein, stage manager, and Miss Mahoney who helped design and paint them. They were aided by Helen Butler and her efecient property committee. The cast was as follows: Crichton ......... ......... G Us SHAFER Lord Loam ...., . . ..,..

This year Central has seen another one ofher successful years in athletics under Doc. He has brought added honors to both himself and the school. He is well known throughout the middle west and highly re- spected as one who is a Htting example for a high school athlete, a coach who can produce a winning team from poor material, and as one who teaches the player to fight clean and hard in Victory or defeat. SEASONS REVIEW The record of the 1925 football season, although not as outstanding as last year, shows Herke's crew again carried Peoria High School to one of the foremost positions in the state. Prospects were bright from the outset when the largest number of candidates ever to report turned out to fight hard for a position. Of these 65 willing and hardworking candidates S were letter men from 1924. Herke, with these players as a nucleus, brought the maroons through a nine game schedule, victors in 7, tieing in one, and losing the other.

This year Alu stepped out and won a permanent berth on the team. His great strength made him a bulwark in the line. l1ICI-IARD MOODYA-Hdffbdfk Dick was a Hash when once in the open, and spectacular runs were his specialty. The vacancy made by his graduation will be hard to till. ROBERT GREENEeEnd Bohn stepped into a difficult position and proved himself capable of filling it. A pass to him was always counted on. His deadly tackles will make him very valuable next fall. FRANK BELsI.EY-End Bells came through with a loud clang this year, using his weight to great advantage. VVhen opponents hit him they gave up in despair. ROCK ISLAND BATTLE Playing in a sea of mud, Peoria's flashy offense was unable to function Although four times within scoring distance, and completely outplaying the lslanders the Hnal punch to put it across was not there and the game ended in a tie. Again the line held well with the brunt ofthe offense left to Quick and Moody, as Houston was hurt early in the game. MOLINH Splashing through water and mud to an 8-3 win over Moline, Central won her 5th victory of the season. Although being scored on for the first time, the Maroons still kept the goal uncrossed. Moody, circling the end, scored Peoria's touchdown, whilelfaldwell downed an olive-jerseyed player behipd the goal, scoring 2 points more.

Always with that determined zeal, he was a stumbling block to many an enemy. MARSHALL ALLENeGuam' K'Marsh had the weight and natural ability to earn a letterin his freshman year. Many an opponents attack through him ended in grief. GEORGE CA RTE Rm Tackle Coming as an out of town player in his senior year, George immediately stepped into the front ranks. He made it tough going over his side of the line. SP.-XLDING Playing in her first intra-city game of the year, Central was slow to get away during the first half. Odds stood against us, when, at the end of the first half the Ulrishnvboasted a 7-o lead. This seemed to awaken the spirit ofthe fighting maroons,', for with determination and a smashing drive in the third quarter it was evident that Central was not to be denied. Crossing the Purple's line twice, Quick pulled the game out of danger. Mathews, at end, covered two Irish fumbles that later led to touchdowns. The whole line, with Geddes playing up to his usual high standard, deserve much of the credit for this real fighting spirit. SPRINGFIELD The mighty maroons for the only time this year went down in defeat. Again mud played a big part in making flashy work by the offense impos- sible. Geddes again played a stellar game with Caldwell doing fine work. Fumbles, passes, and punts were going wild and it was almost anyhody's game until the whistle blew, which ended 3-8.

With more experience great things are looked for from this natural football player. LORENZ 'I'oyvER-Qlumffer Although not playing as a regular, Tower showed great prospect of becoming a star next year. His lack of experience at carrying the ball was his greatest handicap, for he directed the team and passed well. TH.-XNKSGIVING VICTORY So far undefeated this season, lVIanual made a stubborn light to retain her record, however, Central's open Held running and passes won over her ancient rivals 14-7, making ten consecutive Thanksgiving victories. Before the Orange and Black realized the game was underway a pass to Green and a buck by Moody put across the first touchdown. ln the second quarter line plays and end runs marched the ball within scoring distance where Huston ended Central's scoring for the season by shooting across tackle. lVIanual came back strong, but the determination of the Maroons kept the colors flying, thus ending the season and winning the city championship. i.1s of MANUAL GAlNlI'i Um' hlfzzzfrfrf iffy lziw' THE CREST 11926 5 JOHN HOWARD s'rUDENT MANAGER By conscientious effort, John Howard, the senior manager, car- ried the athletic association through a well managed and creditable year. Since Thanksgiving John has been acting as director in ad- vertising and staging all home athletic contests, filling that posi- tion in an equally capable manner. .,,, y WILLIAM HARDIN Ass'r MANAGER The junior member, William Hardin, has served as a great help to John throughout the year and last Thanksgiving succeeded him as acting manager. With William Cooley, sophomore assistant, as the third member of the trio, the teams have been well taken care of, resulting in a Well rounded year. YELL LEADERS ln the absence of Kenneth Dean at most of the games, Albert Landers and Jack lailliot assumed the responsibility of leading the school in the yelling. Dean was always assured of a hearty response in mass meeting and assemblies through the year, which aided greatly in keeping the interest high. Splendid co-operation was shown Landers, Elliott, and Adams. A ...... ytty , ..., gyy esitt J ..

Bill has been an important factor in the success of Peoria High School's athletics. For ten years he has watched our athletes grow with success and de- feat and has accomplished almost everything in his line except to set a broken neck, which he has not had the opportunity of doing yet. With his jovial and enviable good nature and ever-readiness to doctor every injury, Bill has become a great favorite as a doctor and speaker. DIRECTOR OF INTRA-MURAI. SPORTS This ofiice and personage is a new addition to our athletic or- ganization. The title is somewhat long for such a short person, but we must say that Ullutchl' fulfills his duties most efficiently. Prof, who is an old P. H. S. grad, has taken a great deal of work off Herkes hands, giving him more time to develop varsity teams. Dutch's efforts have been directly responsible for the high standard of all intra-mural sports, handling of the Greater Peoria Grade School Basketball Tourna- ment, and developing of all varsity second teams. The presence of Dutch has been keenly felt and will be needed in years to come.

ROBERT GREENE Bob was a strong player in a pivot position. He possessed a good eye for the hoop and most always outjumped his opponent. He will no doubt be a strong factor in victories next year. GEORGE SOPER Displaying a remarkable eye for the most difficult shot, Soap earned a forward berth in his freshman year. He was a valuable asset to offensive work in spite of his slight build. A wonderful career lies ahead of Soap'l with three more years of competition. Season's Review From the outset, the '25-,26 basketball season was a very eventful one. Prospects stood for nothing short of victory in every game of a long schedule, for we had five men to use as a nucleus. The gradual unravelling of events began before the schedule started with the loss of a regular. Ninth semester closed the brilliant career of Quick, the offensive strength of the team. Then from a clear sky came the mid-season suspension from One hzmdred Jixgv THE CREST H926 LORENZ TowER Tower is a steady, dependable guard. I-Iis playing was much im- proved over that of last year.

After two more years Ray should be a highly rated player. .I OH N G1 M MI NGm'F07'ward Farmer saw action the later part of the season.

All this left the maroons no less highly regarded as strong competitors for any team, however, there was nothing left to do but take defeat with victory and allow the rest of the high schools to battle it out for the state's high honors. The season opened with two decisive victories followed by a one-point defeat at Normal. The sailing was easy in the next nine games, with Central winning all nine battles. The three-game road trip to Indiana ended in two victories and one defeat. Returning home, the loss of Quick and suspension heavy on the players' minds, they succumbed to Maniial and Spalding, ending the season in a tie for city championship.

With four evenly-matched teams in the running the games proved an unusually good substitute for varsity basketball. When the half-way point was reached, all four teams were tied. The interest then rose to a degree heretofore unsurpassed, and all teams re- doubled their efforts to cop the coveted honors. From this point on, every game was a battle to the death, and as the official schedule was com- pleted, marked by keen rivalry, heartbreaking moments, and many upsets, the Seniors and Juniors had equal claims to the title. ln the champion- ship game, the Juniors, last year's Winners, showed an unexpected burst of speed and defeated the upper classmen, thereby winning the hardest- earned honors in years. Une hH71lII7'Flf .vcvwzly om' THE PRIEST 11926 Advisory Group Basketball Advisory group basketball was given a big share of the basketball interest due to the absence of varsity competition late in the season. The advisory group leagues involved players whose spirit was indomitable. The unusual calibre of many of the teams held the interest at a high point, and at the end of the regular playing schedule it was a toss-up as to the possible tournament winner. The highest ranking teams in both divisions engaged in an elimination tournament to decide the '25-'26 champs. ln the li htwei ht division Burns Clausen's VVvnd's and Troth's gl gl 3 P 1 .f proved to be the best contenders, Clausen's finally winning from Wyndls in the Finals. The all star team consisted of Whitten, Hosher, and Smith, of the winners, Owen, of VVynd's, and Snyder, of Troth's. ln the heavyweight division, after a hard struggle, the City Slickersn won from the l'Live Centers, their toughest rivals, in the semi-finals, and the Damon's in the finals.
