THE TATLER Published by the SENIOR CLASS of the Princeton Township High School. To OUR BELOVED PRlNClPAL H. S. MAGILL. JR.. WE DO RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THIS BOOK HUGH STEWART MAGILL, JR Hugh Stewart Magill, Jr. ln the fall of 1904, Hugh Stewart Magill, jr., of Springfield, Illinois, entered upon his work as principal of the Princeton Township High School. The service which he has rendered to our school, since his coming, can never be measured. It is largely due to his ambition and activity that we now have an enrollment of two hundred more than at his accession, a department of Domestic Science and also of Manual Training, complete and splendid equipment for our laboratories, a 5515.000 addition to our building and a. far reaching reputation as one of the best high schools in the state. Far greater and more vital, however, is the intluence and inspiration of his personality which every pupil feels. .X man of high ideals. convincing in precept and example, he has instilled into the hearts of the students, the desire Hnot only to be good but to be good for something. As a member of this community and as a citizen of this, his native state, Mr. Klagill is active in helping to upbuild social, political and moral life. His services, as principal, as a speaker on all subjects which concern the public good, as teacher of a large Meu's Bible Class. and as Senator from the thirty-seventh district. have inspired people with confidence in his knowledge. judgment and ability. No man in the community is more beloved and honored. Wie, the class of 1911, are grateful to have spent tive years in this school during his principalship, and wish to express our appreciation of his life and our hope to attain the high standards he has set before us.

EIWOH 'IOOI-IOS HFIO First Township I-Iigh School in Illinois In the beautiful little city of Princeton, county seat of Bureau County, famed throughout Northern Illinois for its lovely residences, spacious lawns, well shaded streets and avenues, is located the first township high school erected in the state of Illinois. The idea of a high school was first agitated by the citizens of Prince- ton in the fall of 1865 and some of the iniiuential citizens of the community got together to devise plans for putting their ideas into some tangible form. lt was thought by the promoters of the movement that the township trustees had authority under the then existing laws to organize the township into a high school district and the trustees in accordance with the desire of the promoters acted upon this proposition. They organized the township into the High School District of Princeton and an election was called for April 23I'Cl, 1866, at which time a site of ten acres beautifully and centrally located was selected. A board of three directors composed of john H. Bryant, brother of the famous poet. XfVilliam Cullen Bryant: Rev. Iflavel Ilascom and Jacob Critzman, all of Whom have since passed fro-m earth, was elected to admin- ister the affairs of the district. This board organized April goth and imme- diately formulated plans for carrying out the scheme of its originators: a contract was let for the erection of a building to cost about forty-five thousand dollars and to be completed about June Ist, 1867. Money, the one great necessary item in such undertakings, was ob- tained by the issuing of provisional bonds guaranteed by the public spirited citizens of the township. These bonds were mostly negotiated in the east through the efforts of lXlr. J. H. Bryant. The first attempt at negotiating these bonds, however, met with some difliculty, growing out of the fact that con- siderable doubt was felt as to the legality of the proceedings of the school trustees and accordingly a bill was introduced into the legislature legalizing the action of the Board of Trustees and confirming all contracts made in pursuance thereof and this special bill became a law on january 28th. 1867. after which the bonds were negotiated. In order to provide for the future existence of the school and to make perpetual its Board of Education, a bill drawn by Geo. O. Ide of Princeton was introduced into the Legislature in january, 1857, after being submitted to the scrutiny of Newton Bateman who was then Superintendent of Public Instruction. This special piece of legislation which was and is today the original charter of the Princeton High School passed the Legisla- Pagc Eighteen ture and was approved by Governor Oglesby, February 15th. 1867. lly its terms tl1e High School District of Princeton was created a body of corporate and politic by tl1e name of the Board of Education of the Princeton High School District. This board was made successors to and vested with power to assume and C7J.l'I'y out all contracts made by former organization. The Hon. tl. H. Bryant, Rev. lilavel llascom, jacob Critzman. Matthew Trimble and Geo. U. lde were named as the first lloard of Educa- tion. These were invested with the usual powers of the school trustees and school directors as then exercised with some twelve or more enumerated powers. Such was the beginning of the Hrst High School in the State. lt was watched with great interest by the educators of the state and so admirably did it meet tl1e requirements that brought it into existence that in 1872 in a thorough revision of the school law there was enacted a general provision for the township high school under which numerous high schools of the state have been incorporated. To Prof. H. L. Boltwood belonged the honor of Offfillllllllg' tl1e school. He was its principal for eleven years from September 1867, to 1878, when he was called to Ottawa, lll.. to take charge of the high school there. ln 1933 he left Ottawa to become the head of the Evanston High School, where he rem'ained until his death so111e four years ago. having been engaged most successively at Princeton, Ottawa and Evanston for over fifty years. Tl1e va1'ious Zlllfl ever increasing demands occasioned by its growth have been promptly met by the citizens of the township. who are justly proud of the reputation of their high school. ln 1894 and again in IQOS the school building was remodeled Hllll greatly enlarged, and being situated as it is in the center of a beautifully shaded campus of ten acres. presents an imposing appearance. It is equipped with a modern heating and lighting plant and in all its appointments. its large and commodious study hall. laboratories. gymnasium, library and recitation rooms it compares most favorably with the best in the state. The library consisting of over 2600 volumes has been catalogued lllltlCI' the direction of a11 expert librarian of the Armour institute of Technology by tl1e Dictionary and Card Catalogue System. The faculties of the school have enjoyed all enviable reputation throughout. The present faculty consisting of Mr. H. S. Magill, -lr., Prin- cipal, and his fourteen teachers have been selected with a view to their moral worth as well as intellectual qualifications. Mr. Nagill has had charge as principal for seven years. He is well equipped by nature and literary attain- ments for his profession and watcl1es every detail of the work with the same Page Nineteen conscientious care and patience that he would exercise in the rearing and education of his own children. The spirit of his work is set forth in his report of 1908-9 as follows: The supreme purpose of the school is the development of the high- est and strongest type of character by an education which considers the moral as well as the intellectual. The history of recent years has emphasized the fact that our country needs conscience and honesty in its citizenship quite as much as shrewdness, and the public school that does not fit boys and girls to be good citizens is a failure. A harmony in singleuess of purpose. the making of good and intel- lectual citizens is well exemplified in the teachers. in the Board of Education and in patrons, and the entire confidence and pleasing outlook of the com- munity in and for the future of the' school is mirrored in the report for the preceding year of Mr. L. R. llryant, President of the Board: W'ith a commodious building well equipped in-every department and surrounded by beautiful and spacious grounds. with its Commercial Department and its courses in Domestic Science and Agriculture. in addition to the ordinary High School studies, all in charge of earnest, experienced teachers. it is believed that the Princeton High School is now better fitted than ever before to give to the young people in this section of the state the basis for a thorough, practical education. ' Before the beginning of the high school the faculties for a higher education at home were woefully inadequate. The publicschools, though good as far as they went, did not go far enough in this direction and the private and academic schools were in many ways unable to lay at the door of every child, rich or poor, the wonderful facilities that through the agency' of the high school have become the lawful inheritance of the boys and girls of today. Hence it is, that the citizens of Princeton, who originated the high school idea and those with them who have been instrumental in making the high school such a marked success in the educational world deserve lasting praise. To have originated the idea is complimentary to their intelligence, and to have backed their ideas by a personal subscription of nearly fifty thousand dollars at the start is indeed heroic. The memory of their unselfish deed will grow brighter with each succeeding generation. and the numerous high schools of the state that have been built, representing magnificent works of architecture in brick, stone, and marble will stand forever as monuments to the patriotism and sagacity that brought them into existence.-Copied.

The Class History of l9l l On September, 1906 about seventy bright, wide awake youngsters entered the high school. Un account of the remarkable way in which we adapted ourselves to circumstances, our class was noted even in the Prep. year for the dignified and unassuming' way in which we conducted ourselves. As a result, not one slur is to he found in ll'lC.lQO7 Annual about Those Preps! As we advanced through the year plain arithmetic was too simple for us and so Mr. Young began to add from time to time minute and intricate explanations of the experiments for his physics classes. As we became more and more interested our instructor told us that if one of the boys would bring him an egg' he would demonstrate how it could he put in boiling water and not cook. True to their word the boys brought two eggs, one fresh, but the other hard boiled, and they put the fresh one on Mr. Young s desk. He tested it and of course found it all riglit, but as soon as his back was turned, that was exchanged for the hard boiled one. lt was put in the vacuum and after three minutes our instructor said impressively: Now l will break this taking out his pen knife, and show you that it is as raw as before it was put into the vacuum. XYith this he cracked the egg. holding it carefully over a saucer and. of course, the egg was so hard that the yolk was ahnost green. XVQ were the first class to petition for class organization in the l'reparatory year. but this was such an amazing and audacious request that we were refused: but it had this effect. that the next class asking for this same privilege was granted it. ln addition to physics experiments the class easily finished grammar the first semester and continued its scientific research, this time in physiography, a study never taken by a Preparatory class before. So intensely interested were we in the subject that we prevail- ed on Miss Cole to take us to Starred Rock to study the formation of stone there C?!!j ' Pa ge 'Fwen fy Three Our Freshman class was even larger than our Preparatory one, owing to the large number of tuition pupils. Imagine our feeling of import- ance at our first class meeting, when we chose Charles Borop as president. Toward the end of the year we engaged in numerous debates with the Preps and though we grant that they acquitted themselves creditably in being able to make the score tie with their powerful opponents, nevertheless no request for a renewal of the contest has ever come from their lips. The Sophomore year was an uneventful one, full of drudgery and grind which even the dauntless spirit of 1911 could not entirely surmount. That year we were serious rivals with the Seniors for the Silver Cup at the Inter Class Track Meet. Our first great event was the Sophomore Sight Reading Contest in which Amanda Kaar a11d Raymond Thulean won first places and Eula Linnard and Holmes Ferris second. VVe began our junior year emphasizing good times. A masquerade Hallowe'en party at Ruth S21lll101'1'S,SfE11'l1Ctl the fun. The Junior girls raised enough money by a candy sale to equip the magazine table with reading material which had been provided in other years, from a fund given by the whole school. Our junior Declamatory Contest was a great success, the best ever given at the P. H. S. On the morning of Junior Day, just as the roll was bein taken. two doves with long black and gold streamers were released from the pockets of two Junior boys, amid the thundering applause of the school. In the evening contest, Ina Bradley and Holmes Ferris won first honors, Amanda Kaar and Rodger Greene, second. The eventful day of the Inter-Class Track llfleet came again. This year the Seniors and Juniors were equally confident of winning. lllhen the Seniors gave their yells at noon, the Juniors, not to be outdone. answered them with a shower of lemons. But it seems destined by the Fates that every Senior Class shall win the cup, and so, of course, they did that year. In the Spring the Juniors gave the Seniors a masquerade party and the Seniors returned it with a banquet and dance at the K. of P. Hall. The trip to Lake Senachwine was the last event of the year. Our Senior year has come at last in fulfillment of all the hopes and aspirations of our high school course. NVe resolved to make the class of 1911 stand out clearly as a spirited, upright, fun-loving, yet a responsible class. Page Twenty Four Uur class president, Howard Stevenson, has led us with a fast, yet a sure pace. From the very first an Annual was talked of. and early in the year we decided to publish one. From then on there has been no need of wrinkled brow on the part of the faculty, about giving' us plenty to do, for with Burke, debates, and chemistry, besides Annual meetings, we are certainly Working. ln spite of that we have stood ready to enter into whatever contests or tasks the faculty has suggested. Nineteen-eleven is the First class that has taken up the debating contest in the llig Eight League. At the debate here with Kewanee, the latter won, but Princeton won in the debate held at liewanee. The faculty has been quick to recognize our reliability and has. therefore. left the library partially in our hands, during school hours. Nineteen-eleven has had its share in large undertakings and events, but it also has been true in the smaller things which count either for or against a class. V QQ?

E'L- ff JUNWRS The Class of l9l 2 Away back in 1907, about nine o'clock, one September mor-ning, the individual members of the class of 1912 began to assemble in the halls of P. H. S. One by one they came in, with white faces, for they saw scarcely a friend anywhere. Lining the walls were the Seniors, juniors. Sophs, and even the Freshies, jeering at the younguns, who have now grown to the lofty position of the greatest class in the scliool, Finally the bell tapped, and all went to the Study Hall, with the Prep boys upon one side of the ro-om, and the Prep girls upon the other. Then came the long address by our esteemed townsmen, which we listened to for the first, and sad to say, the last time. XVell, we raced through that year, learning the customs, and adapt- ing ourselves to the circumstances. XVe learned to spring out of our seats and hasten thru the doors with the speed of comets. XVC also learned each others' names, and tried to learn our lessons. NYC chose for our colors the Purple and XVhite, Qlong may they wavel, and for our president, Raymond Pierson was the unanimous choice. And well he ruled ns thru our infant stage. Soon the year was over. and again we came up to the old building, this time standing off and surveying the Preps, as we had been surveyed. lN'e took back seats in the Study Hall. and heeded not the advice in the speeches of the Board, but all the while whispered, much to our discredit. lVe did not do much this year. XVe elected Elsea Hickman president, and retained the Purple and X'X'hite. XVe made a few track records, fboth in the field and in the Study Hall, as monitorsj but on the whole. we were so busy studying that we had little time for other endeavors. C???j Again, in 1909, we saw the opening exercises from the back seats. this time as Sophomores. NYC held our election, which gave llliles Bryant CSpikej the presidency, and Nicholas Nelsean CNickj the second honors, after a close race. XN'e then held our spread. and contest which were both grand successes from all standpoints. Owen Lovejoy and Beulah Baie were proven the best readers. Again we demonstrated our ability on the track, Page Thirty Six SSV'ID HOINf'lf 'HI-LL -u-qui . and, altho we were not the first in number of points gained, all will acknowl- edge the superiority of our athletes, for had we not Hickman, Seibel, Codding- ton, McLean, L'oney, fffupidj, and C. VVolfeQ And now We are Juniors. VVe have again the distinguished Hick- man for our president, under whose direction, we are having a prosperous year. VVe have been entertained at a German Christmas, and have survived an Athletic supper, and the appearance of the Senior class pins. Surely We have not been found Wanting. And then, we have had the greatest Junior contest and spread ever held. QAsk anyone to prove it.j In the former, in accordance with unanimous sentiment, Raymond Pierson, our ex-president- orator, and Edith Baldwin, hitherto distinguished as a student and musician, were awarded the prizes. These are our representatives. VVe have gone upon the track in great numbers, with high hopes, whose outcome you Will find in this volume. And so, at last, under the guidance of Miss Adams and Miss Rattray, we have proven our place, which, if it be not yet as great as that of the Senior-editors, will next year, no doubt, be among the everlasting stars in the sky, while across the Heavens is written in flaming letters of living light 1gIz. -Roswell Magill. ,I had a little pony 1 His name was Cicero, I loaned him to a friend of mine To pass an exam or so, He rode him to the limit And was really doing well, But Professor gotl the pony, And he gave the pupil - Zero.

SOPHOMORES History of the Class of 'l 3 ln the fall of 1908 seventy-three awkward, knock-kneed. faint-hearted, wild-eyed children wended their way from their various homes to the Prince- ton High School. How frightened We were on entering, and how like a Quaker meeting it looked when the girls all took their places on the south side of the study hall in one huddled group and the boys on the north in another I' A - The girls glanced fearfully toward the equally frightened looking boys as if asking for protection from the public. But, alas, they looked to Bobby and Sammy in vain! For the girls themselves appeared the more formidable of the two because most of the girls were twice the size of the boys. g The first morning in chapel will never be forgotten. Vlfe imagined everyone was making fun of us behind our backs when we came struggling in. But worse than that was our leave-taking, when we rose before the awe-inspiring faculty and wandered out in an awkward way, immediately running home as fast as we could to tell mother it was awful. XVe were green and we knew itg but of course we hated to show it. VVe were a well behaved class in general, though a few of us had to be sent down to the front seat occasionally and one of the microscopic boys in particular was thus distinguished. Q NVhen we entered as Freshmen the newness of going to the High School had somewhat worn away and we felt not a little pride in having ONE year to look clown upon. As Freshmen our cleportment sank, and our sense of the lofty position that was ours to hold developed. The teacher's frown, and even the oFHce lost its terror. NVe rose above all that. Those trifling inconveniences were but necessary incidents in our rapid progress up the ladder of learning. It was during our Freshman year that we distin- guished ourselves in the Xvednesday morning programs. 'We were especially honored by the boy with the remarkable memory and the girl who spoke so charmingly that beautiful little selection entitled, In the Spring. 1 Page Forty SSVTJ EIHOWOHCIOS 'EII-LL I cc At the beginning of our Sophomore year, we found ourselves called upon to answer the puzzle Find the Sophomore class. lVhereupon we said, Look for quality, not quantity. It was a muddy, rainy autumn night when the Well-covered bus with the gay Sophomores and their chaperons were going to their class party. One of the boys was blissfully happy thinking he was holding the hand of his best girl. Later, however, he discovered that he had been holding the chaperon's hand for ten minutes. But the Sophomores, though they number so few, are steadily working on and hope soon to become Juniors with all their members and all their credits. -Eunice Clark.

Page Forty Nine THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA THE HIGH SCHOOL QUARTETTE MUSIC si. 'l 3 A pleasant feature of school life is good music. In the history of the class ot' 1911 hoth the quality and the quantity of the music has increased with each succeeding year. In 1908 under the supervision of Miss Thompson we had a chorus of which we were proud. Our selections were of high standard and were well rendered. A boys' quartette was organized in the spring of 1909. The present members are Howard Miitson, Holmes Ferris, XVilhelm XYag'ner and Charles Baker. Their selections have always proved exceedingly popular not only with the school but in circles outside. Under the etiicient leadership of Miss Cone. the work of each organization has shown greater interest and development. The additions for this year are the Girls' Glee Club and an orchestra. These with the aid of the boys' quartette and the chorus gave a most attractive concert on january 28. Vfith such a growth in four years, we hope that the musical department well soon be one of the strongest features of our high school work.

All Adventure Frances waved good-by to her school ehum and sped up the walk and into the living room with all the joy and vigor of a healthy girl of fifteen, threw her books upon a chair and exclaimed to her mother, How glad l am that school is just about over. Uh! here's a letter from Cousin Robert. l thought there must be something westerly in the air to make me feel so free tonight. Here is a letter, enclosed, from Aunt Polly, for you. Oh, mother, Rob says to be sure to plan to put in all my vacation oifthe ranch! XVouldn't that be just grand! XN'ill you let me go? XVe'll have to see what your father says, dear. answered her mother quietly. At supper-time Frances gave no one an opportunity to talk, nor did she allow herself time to eat. Her enthusiasm had to vent itself about R0b's bear-hunt, and her possible experience. Father had only said, f'X'Ve'll see. llut that carried hope to Frances' heart-she was so seldom denied anything. Billie kept saying, I het you'll wish you was back here before you ever get there. 'lfhat bear will make short work of you when he sees that big, pink bow of yours looking at him over a gun. All l3illie's teasing had no effect on Frances. She llitted about in a transport of joy, loving everybody. The following day contained very few unnecessary thoughts of school, for they were full of plans. She knew at once how to spend her little pile of long-hoarded money. She needed a good riding suit. a Mexican hat, a belt for a revolver, and-a gun. There wouldn't be enough money for that, but then they'd have plenty out in that wild country. At last the day of her departure dawned. hlother, knowing of the long, lonely journey, felt very sad, even llillie was silent and followed Frances around all day, trying to serve her in every way possible. Frances alone saw nothing but the joys at the end of the journey, and could scarcely wait until evening when the train should leave. Supper-time eameg Frances was trying to talk composedly and unconcernedly to Billie when she heard the supper bell. W'hy, Bill, I couldn't eat any supper even if they had olives, and chocolate cake, and lemon pie, and everything else. Finally train time came. Frances bravely said good-by to everyone. XN'hen it came time to bid farewell to llillie. she grew sober, threw her arms around him and whispered, Oh, llill, how l' wish you were going, to0.', Then she turned and resolutely stepped onto the train and followed the porter Page Fifty Three thru the car to her seat, not once looking behind her. All that night, the next day, and late into the second day the train rolled farther and farther westward. Books, people, and the passing country had all lost their first interest to Frances. She thought, NVhat a hot, dreary, Hat old country this is! Everything looked hazy and the sun hurt her eyes. she drew down the blind and dreamily looked around the car. The few who were left, were drowsy and sleepy. W'hen she saw the porter again he told here there were still two hours more. She went and bathed her hot, flushed, little face. which refreshed her more than sleeping. She pinned on her hat and laid her coat and gloves on her suit case and settled back to wait. Finally, when the train was whistling for her destination, she was so tired, she scarcely knew whether to be glad or not. She followed the porter with her suit case to the little station platform, and assured him that friends would soon be there to meet her. As he swung onto the car again and the train sped rapidly out of sight, the lonely girl realized that the last reminder of home had vanished. A refreshing little breeze fanned her hot cheeks and the solid earth under her feet revived her lagging spirits and caused her to look about her with increasing interest. On a bench, under the station window, lounged a group of idlers. lNithout seeming to notice them, she slyly sized' up each loafer. Evidently that one standing with his hands jammed down into his pockets, a derby on the side of his head, and a cigarette in his mouth, tried to be a fine dude. He grinned and eyed her saucily. She turned away and walked stiffly to the other end of the platform. The little town straggled down the hill from the station to the Company Store, blacksmith shop, and postoiiice in the hollow, and up the other side of the hill where several neat, respectable little homes were, one showy little yellow, red and green one she felt sure was the home of the dude under the station window. ' Beyond the hollow, with its handful of people and houses, a trail led up over a bare. Hat country that seemed to meet the sky, unbroken by trees or buildings in any direction. Frances looked out over this expanse and around her, wearily, and thought of her pleasant, cool veranda corner at home, and of lX-'lother and Bill and all the rest. Then a laugh and shout from the window bench made her turn quickly, and she realized how lonely she was. Wfhy was Robert not there to meet her? Wfas this her right destination? O-, if it weren't! Fear rose in her heart. But suddenly in a cloud of dust over the trail, three horses and two riders came galloping along. Eagerly she watched them draw near- er, and when they shouted and waved their hats in welcome to her, she recog- nized the form of Cousin Robert. Their horses panting and covered with Page Fifty Four sweat. galloped up through the town and to where she stood. Robert threw himself from his horse. tossed his hat in the air, and holding his horse's bridle with one hand, grasped Frances' with the other. - Hello, Cousin Frank -how assuring his cheery voice sounded- so you'ye got here after all. l'm awfully sorry to be so late, but we ran across that bear again coming in. or we'd been here on time. This is my' friend Phil Slocum. lle's leading your horse. Uo you think you can ride him ? Yes , Frances nodded to l'hil, and looking at the horse he led. replied. Yes. indeed. l can ride him all right. Robert took her grip, helped her to mount, and then all three rode away from the gathering crowd of onlookers. XX'hen they were quietly loping along over the trail. Frances, brave and happy once more. and ready for fun, told about the saucy fellow she had seen at the station. O, yes, laughed Phil. he's the chump that nearly got eaten up bylthis same bear one night he was coming home late. He laughed so heartily. and' was so genial and frank. that Frances liked him. They had gone only a few miles when l'hil began to notice some- g. thing on ahead. .Ns they rode farther on. his suspicion was assured. There could be no doubt of the bear. and ten times crosser for its probing in the afternoon. How would this girl act? would she faint and fall off? lt was growing' dusk and they must hurry along. Suddenly Frances saw Robert draw up his horse with a jerk. exclaiming. 'Ally lingo and turning to her: Hlirances. now is your chance to show how brave you are. XYhile we talk to that bear up there, you ride right ahead until you meet Father. 'lsle's coming with the buck-board and can't be far away. Oh, no. l can't go on, exclaimed terrified Frances, l'm afraid. XYell. stay right here then, with Phil. l'll go up and see if he means to let us pass. Frances trembled at sight of a wild bear, but watched him fall down on his front feet and utter his challenge. The seconds seemed endless time. Robert took good aim and shot. She shrieked. for the bear lunged forward with greater ferocitv. Robert shot again. l'hil knew this was their last shot and only chance. The sharp report was followed bv a fearfulhowl- ing. The bear was rolling upon the ground in pain, thinking no more of vengeance. XYith a snort and a lunge. the horses started for home. Frances clung frantically to her saddle. wondering what would happen next. XYhen. a few minutes later they met her uncle and aunt in the buckboard. she was too exhausted to disinonnt, and had to be lifted from her horse and put on the seat beside Aunt lilolly. Throwing her arms around her aunt's neck. she sobbed. Oh, .-Xunt l'olly, l want to go right straight home. -R. A. C.

The Athletic Association The Athletic Association is a live organization of the Princeton High School. It is essentially a democratic organization, for neither teacher nor pupil is excluded, and the only requirement for membership is the pay- ment of cities amounting to the large sum of twenty five cents. ln former years the Association was organized at the beginning of the school year, but since the advent of the Annual Athletic Supper the funds derived from this source are used for football expenses and the Athletic Association is organized at the beginning' of the second semester and the funds are used for baseball and track. These two lines of sport are always a heavy drain on the athletic treasury, but in spite of the fact that it is not richly endowed, the end of the season is usually reached without going' into debt. .-Xt present there are about 175 members, in-the Athletic Association, which would seem to be a large number, yet in a school of 350 pupils at least 300 should belong to an organization of this kind. ln fact, there is no one in school who cannot afford to pay the necessary dues. lt is said that the athletic supplies of the school are used by a large number of boys who are not members of the association. This is manifestly unfair and should be stopped. Yet while all the conditions are not ideal in this organization and it is not as large as it should be, we pride ourselves in having' an Association which stands for and aids clean athletics. and which plays an important part in the real life of the hi gh school. Page Sixty Seven The Athletic Supper On the twenty-ninth of September was held the Annual Athletic Supper. This supper was given chiefly for the purpose of securing a part of the money needed to carry on the athletics of the Princeton High School. The library, where the supper was given. was most artistically decorated. as a result of-each of the live classes vieing with each other to make its table the most attractive. .X great deal of originality was shown in the decorations of the various classes. especially those of the Seniors. An immense canopy of oak leaves slightly tinged with red, yellow and brown made a fitting covering for the long table so tempting' with its fruit and candles. However the beautiful tables and showy decorations seemed to makglittle difference to the people as they crowded in for their supper. And when it was all over, it was the combined effort of all the classes to make the 'supper a great success that was appreciated, rather than the attempts of any once class. After everyone had been served, the Seniors not wishing' their precious canopy to fall into the hands of any ineonsiderate under-classmen, dragged the oaken branches out into the road. And there they rent the air with yells for their class and High School as the oak leaves were slowly consumed by the Haines. Not content with this. they brought that memor- able evening to a close by marching in a long line around the campus and into the buildingg and with voices already harsh and feeble they gave one last weak yell for their class. their principal and their school. Page Sixty Eight FOOTBALL NICK MCLEAN, Captain The football season of IQIO has been one of the best and most successful seasons that the l'. H. S. has ever hacl. The team was one of the fastest, and ranked high among the teams in the northern part of the state. NVQ have higih expectations for a much better team next season. l raetically all of this year's team will return and they will enter into it with more spirit than has been shown before. Coach Rapp will return at the beginning of the ltjll season if it is at all possible to secure his services. X'l'e hope then the team of l9II will win the Northern State Championship. N. M. Page Sixty Niue FOGTBALL Wlhen the football season of 1910 opened there were numerous pre- dictions from those pessimistically inclined that the team would be very weak, and would ill no way compare with the brilliant aggregation of 1909. There -was no doubt some ground for these fears, for of the fast back field of the year before there remained only one veteran, while three linemen were missing, leaving only five old players around which to build a team. In spite of the rather dark outlook, however, a search was begun for a competent coach, and Mr. Selleck of Indiana was secured. xVllC1l the Hrst call for practice was issued about twenty five promising candidates respond- ed. After a few preliminary practices devoted to the rudiments of the game, a regular team was organized, Skinner, the star of 1909, being sent to left half, and Lovejoy, sub end of the previous season, going to the quarter back position. The regulars at once began running signals and learning the possibilities of the forward pass under the new rules concerning it. Scrim- mage work with the scrubs was indulged in every night and the team worked hard and faithfully in anticipation of the first contest, knowing that the season's success depended greatly on the result of the first battle. Fortunately or unfortunately, Dixon, our opponents in the initial game, were very weak, and seemed to have had.very little practice. As a result our boys ran over the northerners by the overwhelming score of 27 to o. The Dixon defense was poor in the extreme and their offense lacked in drive and power. The Princeton backs gained at will, their long end runs being the only noteworthy plays of an otherwise featureless contest. The Page Seventy effect of this victory was to cause a feeling of over-confidence in the team, and the practice for the LaSalle game was slow and unsatisfactory and was truly a preparation for the catastrophe which was to come. The LaSalle team and its supporters, burning with the thot of the 59 to 0 defeat of the year before, were determined to humble Princeton in the dust. This spirit was in evidence from the first blow of the whistle, and the LaSalle players tore thru the l,'rinceton defense with a savage determination which could not be stopped, and. before our team awoke from their lethargy, they were the victors by a II to 6 score, and the most humiliating defeat of the season had been infiicted. After this, Clarence Rapp, the well-known coach of 1909, was secured for the remainder of the season. A new spirit at once became apparent in the team, but, handicapped by the change in signals necessitated by a new coach, the boys were in no condition to play Galesburg on the following Saturday and were defeated by a score of 9 to o. The game was dull and uninteresting, the spirited playing of R. McLean and VViltz being the only redeeming feature of this contest. This defeat, instead of discouraging' the coach and players, only caused them to work all the harder in preparation for the hardest game of the year, that with Rockford. News of the strength of the northern aggregation had already reached Princeton, and when the team left for the battle, it was' with small expectations of victory. Neverthe- ess the boys went into the contest with a fire and aggressiveness which they had never shown before, and although badly beaten from the start, they fought gamely to the finish, and had the satisfaction of being the first team to cross Rockford's goal line. This resulted from a spectacular eighty yard run by Right End Coddington after picking up a fum'ble. The splendid team work and interference of the home team. together with their superior weight were the determining factors in this interesting' struggle. This game marked the return of the old fighting spirit to the team and the preparation for our old enemy. Kewanee was fast and snappy. The Kewanee aggregatioii. support- ed by a band of enthusiastic fans, came to Princeton confident of victory. The old time rivals fought like tigers throughout the contest and the result Page Seventy One THE. FOOTBALL TEAM was in doubt until time was called, with Princeton the victors by a 6 to 3 score. This was the most interesting game from the spectators' standpoint which had been seen for many a day, the spectacular end running of Capt. McLean and tl1e splendid all round work of Sarah Spears, the Kewanee heavy-weight captain, being especially noteworthy. O11 the following Satur- day the heavy liflonmouth team were opponents 011 our grounds, and Prince- ton surprised the football fans by holding them to a 6 to 6 tie. Our boys played the hardest and most consistent game of the season. Every man on the team played a good' game. while the work of Skinner and lX'lcl.ean in the back field and XYolfe at tackle were especially briiiliant. Ottawa was the next victim and the score of 4Q to O tells the story of the game. The feature of the game was Capt. McLean's S5 yard run for a toucl1 down on the first play after the kick off. For Tlianksgiviiig Day the unbeaten South Chicago team was secured, and the game was played before a large crowd of Prince- ton followers. From the start it was apparent that the Minor League Cham- pions were superior to our boys, their beautiful execution of the forward pass being their most effective play. Cameron, the Chicago quarter back, was the shining light for the visitors, and all of the visitors' plays were centered around him. For Princeton the defensive work of Skinner and lXlcl,ean was especially good. their hard clean tackling being a large factor in holding tlOVV1'l-1Cl1C Score. Thus Princeton wo11 three games. lost four and tied one during the season of 1910. At a first glance this record may not seem to be a very good one, but when the size of the schools played and the unfortunate handi- caps encountered at the beginning of the season are considered, we see that the team made a very credible record. A further evidence of this is the fact that during tl1e season, Princeton scored 100 points to the opponents' 81. Captain McLean was an ideal leader of the team. being the fastest a11d most brilliant player and always inspiring a true Princeton spirit into his men. His reelection as captain for 1911 is a good indication of a strong team next season,.with the good material which will be available. Too much cannot be said of the work of Coach Rapp who with his unlimited knowledge of football, seems to be able to instill into his players the spirit Page Seventy Three and drive so necessary to a successful team. He worked hard to produce '1 known. Name. Berry .. Vtfolfe .... Barkman . Hickman . Stevenson Makutchan Coddington Lovejoy .. THE PLAYERS.

At first there was some doubt about a successful team on account of our having lost so many of our old men. But the present outlook is very encouraging, as a result of the boys' faithfulness in practice and the help of George Skinner. E. H. Page Seventy Five The Track Team 4' The prospects for a successful track season this year is thought to be very bright in spite of the fact that many of last year's team are missing. The number of candidates this year is exceptionally large and the spirit in which they are working augurs well for a good track team. Of course the event of immediate interest' is the Intcrclass Track Meet, both because of the rivalry between the different classes and the fact that the winners of the various events will represent the school at the larger meets. lt becomes more and more apparent that the contest for the cup will even eclipse the spectacular struggle between the juniors and Seniors of last year both in rivalry and in the closeness of the standings. After this meet come the Military Tract Meet at Galesburg on May 5, The Big Eight Meet at Rock Island on May 13. and The County Meet at Princeton o-n May 19. In the Military Tract and Big Eight Meets it is of course hard to predict what success we will have. but it is to be hoped that a good showing will be made. In the County Meet. Princeton's easy victory of last year would seem to indicate that We will be the winners this year also. However, it must be remembered that last year was the first ,year that the Meet was held and the schools of the county had not yet entered into the spirit of the contest and will send much better trained athletes to compete this year. ' Of- the track team of last year only three men are now in school, these being Hickman, captain of the team and the best long distance runner Princeton has ever haclg Aldrich, pole vaultcr and high jumper: and Hussey, long distance runner. The members of last year's team not in school are Chase, Matson, Skinner, Paschen and lVoods, and anyone who has seen these athletes on the track must realize the hard task Capt. Hickman will have to fill their places successfully. Great credit is due to him for the way he has worked during the past two months with the one thought of develop- ing a team which will represent the P. H. S. with credit. Page Seventy Six Base Ball Baseball for the past few years has ranked the least in athletics in the P. H. S., but at last the students are waking up to the fact that it is far from a minor sport. From the start of the season a great interest has been shown and a de- termination to produce a winning team manifested. Unaided by a coach, it has been a hard task to pick out from the . I bunch of twenty odd recruits a team with both batting and fielding merits to equal expectations. In a few weeks prac- ' tice Barkman, Carlson, Crichfield, Beyer, LESLEY WHAPLES, Captain Wfolfe, and Ferris were chosen for steady places, these with myself Hlling seven regular positions. Filling the position of short stop was the greatest difficulty till lX'lc-rril Conley made good. The last regular to be decided upon was Ray Thnlean for left field, while Paden, Knowlton and C. Barkman were retained as subs. The team being chosen, practice started in dead earnestg batting, fielding, and base-running being the routine. Although the team has yet much room for development, our six to five Victory over LaSalle shows that much has been accomplished, and also our possibilities for the future. L. XV. Page Seventy Seven BASE. BALL 4 The prospects for the baseball team are the best that the P. H. S. has had for several years. Early in the season a meeting was held at which Lesley VVhaples was elected captain and Reuben Carlson, manager. At the present time the team has been on the Held for over two months: several practice games have been played with favorable results, the most notable being a victory over VVyanet. The squad of about twenty five prospectivcs, has been cut down to: Critchfield, last years second base starg Wfolf, Ferris, and Fassett, who have been wearing the blue and gray for a couple of years and are all stars in these positions. Byers, the cyclone first sacker from Tiskilwag Conley, Lalferty, C. Barkman, and Paden, four new recruits who are working hard and show signs .of future greatnessg last year's battery Carlson and Vlfhaples are again on the job with the valuable addition 'of L. Barkman, who was captain and star for Lallloille H. S. last season. Carlson has been busy arranging a schedule which will bring the team against the best High Schools in the Big Eight, while VVhaples has been constantly at work developing the team to the best possible shape. lt's hoped that thisyear will establish the P. H. S. in the high position it has always held in Track and Football. Page Seventy Eight BASE BALL TEAM---l9I I JU IOR DAY The large purple and white banner tloating above our venerable building on the morning of March third reminded us of the fact that Junior Day, the high tide of the year for the class of 1912, had dawned. The general bustle Zlllll excitement of planning and preparation had implanted something of the spirit of the festivities of the evening. llut our highest expectations were surpassed, for the juniors fairly out-did them- selves. The contest and the spread following it were both pronounced successes. The back ground of the platform in the assembly hall was artis- tically decorated in the class colors, purple and white. On a back ground of white trails of delicate lacey green vine ran up and down the wall, interspers- ed with specimens of the purple clematis. Heavy cardboard shields of purple and white symbolized the spirit of friendly contest. The presence of almost five hundred friends and patrons of the High School showed the wideiinterest in amateur' declamatory efforts. The following program was rendered: ' GIRLS' CONTEST.

Besides the members of the class of 1912, tl1e judges of the contest, tl1e board of education. the faculty. and a large number of favored friends of the class were entertained. About one hundred Zllltl seventy guests were present. a much larger number than has ever before been served at a junior spread. Page Eighty One Elsea Hickman, the president of the class, acted as toastmaster of the evening. Toasts were also given by Alyce McLean, Carver W-folfe, Miss Stetson, Mr. Callahan and Mr. Magill. At a very late hour the guests departed feeling that great credit was due to the class of 1912 for the praiseworthy manner in which their contest and spread were conducted. TO PHIL-IP SPACE.

We teach only a lfew studies alnd these are all definitely needed in business by both the beginner and the experienced capable busi- ness man. They are book-fkeeuping, penman- ship, correspondence an-d business English, comlm-ercial arithlmetic and rapid figuring, practical business spelling, busi-ness forms, commercial' law, shorthand' and tyfpewriting. No stuldies are given that are not needed in fbusiness, and no ornamental or useless fea- 'tures are included in any study. Every- thlinlg is reduced to a 'bread and butt6I'U basis-no frills. HOW WE TEACH Brown's of 'Ottawa is conducted as near- ly as 'possible along exactly the Same lines as a. business o1Tlce. VVe give to students in all classes exactly the same .kind of work that they will have to perform in business. The atmosphere of the school is the atmos- phere of the office. It is no-t sufiicient for the student -merely to know things. He must learn 'to DO thi-n-gs, and to do them exactly as they are done in an otlice. Everything is ima-de simple and easy, andy every stludent goes forward upon h-is own merits, :being nei-th.er :pushed forward or 'held' back by others. This removes fast stude-nts from re- straint and saves slow st-u-dents from em- barrassment. THE RESULT :Our students go out into the business world prepared to do business as business is done. They do not go blindly either in the matter out .preparation for a position or in the matter of securing a position, for when we have given the student the 'best -prepara- tion that it 'is possible for him to obtain, we make it a part of our business to secure him a position with a reliable progressive firm. This assistance is very im-portan-t to young people who Want the very :best there is -both in instruction and in a blusilness 'position af- ter gradfuation. We st-and ready to enter into a written contract to secure a position for those who complete our full course or refu-nd every dollar paid for tuition.
