A w 9-Y- I . THE 1912 YEAR BooK - Published by the SENIOR CLASS of the Princeton Township High School TO HUGH STEWART MAGILL, .IR ouR PRINCIPAL AND FRIEND HUGH STEWART MAGILL, JR AN APPRECIATION During the eight years in Which Mr. Magill has been principal of the Princeton Township High School it has attained a unique position among the high schools of the state. Largely through his influence it has gained a reputation, not only for high standards of Work, but for the emphasis which it places on the development of character through the personal relations of faculty and students. We, the class of 1912, have been truly fortunate in having been asso- ciated with Mr. Magill during our entire high school course. As he severs his official connection With the Princeton High School at the end of this term We have a feeling of companionship in leaving the school with him. We ap- preciate more than we can express this association with a man of such high ideals, Whose influence We have felt at all times, not only in the atmosphere of the Whole school, but in the counsel and comradeship, which he has so freely given us individually. He has held before us high standards, not only of scholarship but also of character as expressed in our sports, class rivalry, friendships and ambitions. Without compromise he has always stood for true sportsmanship, broadmindedness, honesty, virility and sincere culture. -it -it it We, the members of the graduating class, Wish to thank you, Mr. Magill, for What you have given us and for What you have been to us. May your future, in Whatever field you enter, meet With the success you so truly merit. Page Seven 1 U Pgrii Y . I I .4 F OREWORD. We present you herewith, the 1912 Princeton High School Annual.

'EIWOI-I 'IOOI-IDS H00 First Township High School in Illinois. In the spring of 1866 the people of Princeton township de'ter1nined to have a public Township High School. This was the result of a general desire for better educational facilities, and of a full and free discussion of the best methods to obtain them. Accordingly, the school trustees organ- ized the township into The High School District of Princeton, and at an election held on April 23, 1866, the present site was selected, and three directors were chosen to administer the affairs of the district. Plans for the building were adopted, and in June the contract was let, the building to cost about forty-five thousand dollars. To give unquestionable legal sanction to the rather unprecedented undertaking, as well as to organize the work more perfectly, a charter was drawn and introduced in the legislature in January, 18673 and was promptly passed, and approved by Governor Oglesby on February 5, 1867. The school was opened to pupils in September, 1867, with M r.. Henry L. Boltwood as principal and under his able management, aided by the hearty support of its patrons, achieved great success. Since then, under excellent faculties, the institution has increased its enrollment and greatly improved its courses of study until now, under the guidance of the present principal, Senator H. S. Magill, the Princeton Township High School has obtained an honored and renowned standing a- mong secondary schools of the state. Page Eighteen , , ,,, K ' f X.

SENIOR CHRONICLE And it came to pass in the year 1907 that much people entered the P. H. S., many more than had hitherto been received into those portals at one time. In the course of weeks this people assembled. Alas, they were young, so young! With much tumult they elected a king who should rule over them. He rules today, the honored Shorty Pierson. And the people chose purple and white as their emblems. And it was good. And it came to pass that the next year a new king must be elected. And it was so. And they called his name Hickie. And the length of his reign was nine months. And it was the third year. And Spike succeeded to the mighty kingdom of the Sophomores. And after several months was the Sight- Reading Contestg and they had a banquet, and this people was so great that no friends could be invitedg and the Freshmen Were sore. And it came to pass that this people lived yet another year and Hickie again took the throne. And in the course of months this people had a party. And it befell likewise that the Seniors had a party and Hickie was kidnapped, causing much wrath to be kindled in the Junior camp. And war arose. Much battle was fought and there was great slaughter on either hand. And that year this people put to flight the Seniors and caused them to graduate under purple and white. And now befell the last year. It chanced that on a certain night this people had a circus. And a circus it was and ever shall be so remem- bered, world without end. And it came to pass that this people chose pins amidst great tumult and amidst peace do Wear them. And a few months afterwards Was Junior day and a great War was waged and this people gained the victory. Then came spring vacation and peace was made. A few more weekshthen dust and ashes. And all together this people ruled five years since they first sought the P. H. S. Page Twenty RAYMOND PIERSON , PRESIDENT Now l'll tell you, fellows. Shorty is a Pierson without a peer. His popularity is evidenced by his two term presidency. I-le has now ahalf interest in a Punch and Judy show. EDWARD J. GORMAN VICE-PRESIDENT Revolve a plane about it. Ed is one of our track sharks. He spends his school time buried in ge- ometry and his vacations in a country school in Kansas. He is a ranking member of the P. A. Club. 'MARGARET DAVIS SECRETARY Margaret has given us a very suc- cessful business administration. Al- tho engaged elsewhere, she has taken an interest in our proceedings, and has been a jolly companion for our hay rack rides. KATHERINE GIBBS. Tl1at's the funniest thing. A bubbling spring of humor, that is Miss '6Fat Gibbs. She can exchange limerioks with NVolfe any old day, and with any one else also. Katherine isnit noted for her studiousness but for her laugh. ' MILES W. BRYANT. I'll tell you. VVhile Spiize is aristocratic, nothing can jolly well beat him when it comes to teasing his neighbors, y'uuderstand. He bristles business and botany from his elongated anatomy. Our prophecy is that he will be manager of the Pref- erencia Plantation in Venezuela, ship- ping orchids to New York Society. Page Twenty One , Page Twenty Two ELSEA HICKMAN You would have a pretty hard time finding mean things to say about Hick. He is our most renowned class pres- ident and track athlete, with titles of football star and debater thrown in. Whenever 1912 needs a man, Hick is there. We are all strong for Hick. CARVER W. WOLFE Shoot the baby. Carv is our class beauty, also coun- selor. He is noted for his fine mane ners and philanthropic love for the be- nighted Juniors. Wolfe can always be found either at the Dutch's, Colberg's or the Sunset alleys, With either Peter Pans, 15 ball or strikes in sight. GRACE ROBERTS Gosh! Our class could never have been decorated if it hadn't been for Grace. She combines ability with modesty, which is in truth a strange combin- ation. She and Mr. McLean are class patrons but they don't hesitate to get in and do the necessary Work. NICHOLAS MCLEAN Dammit Whatever Nick Wants to do, he does Well. His particular favorites are football, chemistry and the broad jump. We,1l not mention Grace. Nick is always in class office, and deserves it. He has a Hsingleness of purpose, but can see the rest of the class. Nick is all right. SERENA PHILIPS Good. Serena is known for her country place, her spelling and her frown. She has been distinguished by election to our class judicial body, by her elegant Virgil translations and by her constant comradeship With a singular body, Miss Edith. Serena is a standpatter, a foe to reciprocity. HELEN D. MCGLADE 'Tm einbarrassedf' Helen Mae came to us from Milwau- kee, but she was not affected' by her environment. She has a spiritual dis- position and overflowing spirits. She is as eiferveseent as soda water for Sohlitz in Brown Bottlesfil VERA TURNBULL. If you wa.nt to know about the per- sonal attractiveness of any of the poets just ask Tommy. She hasnit inany faults, so we're glad she's one of us. ROSVVELL F. MAGILL. ' Oh, you bonelieadf' This precocious little shaver came from Springfield. His infantile pro- duction, the Midget marked him for a. successful editor. As he grew up he acquired the family stride and an activity for everything. He says what what he thinks and withal is a credit to 1912. CECIL MCELROY. Cecil and her sister are a notorious couple. Cecil does her quiet part in making the class machinery go round. ller disposition must be fine since she is required to sit by Bc-i'1'y. EDNA PIERSON. Edna knows all there is to know about chem. I. Ask the Prof. She is a. quiet, demure little maiden. whose worst fault is her tendency toward red. Page Twenty Three Page TWBDUY Four MARY LANKTREE. Mary has the distinction of having the most brilliant head in the class. Is she jolly? VVcll I guess. She takes a cheerful View of life and its prob- lems. HELEN DAVIS. So young and yet so talkative. Helen is always where somebody else is car- rying on a conversation. She and Lovey had a case, but it didn't get serious. Helen is a cousin of our dough-god. ' ' IRVVIN BERLIN. To look upon this gentle youth one would never suspect the characteristics ol' the 'VVild Man From Borneo which he so lately exhibited. He loves to work and spends much midnight oil pouring over his books. ELIZABETH CASS. Elizabeth isn't as large as she is small and Sl16,S John's sister. She makes a good i'Midget in a side show and fits well into small corners. . AVA GRAY. Ava. doesn't make a great deal of disturbance but she adds to our won- derful class. The boys of our number don't seem to appeal to her so she picked on an outsider. 1- v EDITH BALDXVIN. Edith is our star, and naturally, she has a constellation all her own. When she is not attending prayer meeting, she is doing other little things such as orating, singing, playing the piano, taking the roll, writing odes, or work- ing our faculty, ete. Wie all say 'allur- rah for Edithf, ETHEL SVVARTZ. Ethel has a tendency to boys though she never gets far. She takes easily to studying and abundant teasing, but goes her own sweet way without a care for what anyone says. HOXVE SHOEMAKER. Doe. thinks he is a chemist. He is a holdover, but we are glad to have him. Doefs kodak is an ever present nuisance, and his grin a never ending eternity. Doe. and Mr. Kirkpatrick are inseparable, since Doe. admires Kirk's high position in the world. HOWARD DE ROSE. Our young medical student is Fat. He will reach a high position in his chosen realm, with the best wishes of afflicted humanity about him. J UDITH PETERSON. VVe all thought at the first of the year that our president was at last won, but sa.d to say, our hopes were not grounded. Judy is all right, even if chemistry is no open book to her. . Page Twenty Five i l i GLADYS TAYLOR. Gladys is perhaps the most literary of a class of 76. She is always to be seen delving into the mysteries of Latin or English literature. If she doesn't die of overwork, she will make a. splendid teaeher, or librarian. GRACE SHUGART. Graee lives a few miles from school and has a grand opportunity to enjoy the beauties of nature in the early morning, since the installation of single sessions. Like all Seniors she is a hard worker and deserves a sueeessful ea- reer. PAUL FISHEL. lVe have often wanted to use Fishel's head for a. bowling ball. Paul is a.n artist at repairing fires, selling pictures and inventing ideas. He will be a worthy partner in a. eoal iirxn. Paul is gifted with a popular sister and the right to vote. FLORINE KELLER. Studious. gentle and quiet, Florine fills her place in our class totally un- disturbed by her noisy sehool mates. Her fertile brain is teeming with origi- nal ideas whieh only need the suitable oeeasion to eall them forth. MAY BLACKBURN. Though perhaps this peaceful coun- tenanee doesnlt show it, May is a mem- ber of a lively bunch that live on East Peru. She alway's minds her own af- fairs but is never too busy to help someone else with his. In for a. good time always, she proves a. true friend. GLEE SEIBEL.. Seibel's pompadour reminds one of a eurly wire hair brush. He's a good bowler and hearts are no mystery to him. He is cared for by his aunt who sees that he is provided with fresh per- fume . Seibel is a jolly fellow hid in an awkward extei-ior.' HILDUR SWANSON. ' Hildur is one of the Vergil sharks who daily congregate in the K'Eating House. Hildur also knows her Deutseh, although she often punctu- ates with a-a . She is a type of student undisturbed by social schemes. P' MAMIE NELSON. Father Jones exercises a proteetorate over Mamie, but she don't show it. Mamie will probably be a stenographer to a great man. Here's hoping. VERA COLVER. Vera is a girl who always has about twice as much to do as she can get done. Her greatest faults are wiggling and good-naturedness. She is good company, and is generally an agree- able classmate. NORRIS REMSBURG. Remsburg and his P. A. are never separated long. Doc. is a charter member of the stagg club. He has an affnity for qualitative analysis, Alvin Hertwig, and a dress suit. He might amount to something if he wanted to, but Doe.'s wishes are only pipe dreams. Page Twenty Seven 'Q' Page Twenty Eight V IV IAN VVELLER-. Oh Dearf, A smile and a. good word for every- one is the reward of her acquaintances. A sweet disposition and a small stature are her greatest faults. JESSIE DEAN. The pride of LaMoille dropped into our midst last year in the person of studious Jessie. She sure does honor to her home school. HOWARD LONEY ' ' That 'S the limit. ' ' Cupid is our class matemaker, also our baby. He has an abnormal love for perfume, hair oil and talcum pow- der. His angelic face may be seen flitting about the school in the hope- less quest of knowledge. He is a mu- sician, a good musician and a faithful exponent of the Alamo Rag. NAOMI ENNES. Valley really ha.sn't a rough temper, though her study hall associates might cultivate one. We 're sure she misses Cliff since he dropped school though we suppose it was for the best. RUBY LARSON. Ruby is one of our artists, showing marked ability in her chosen art. She is a loyal member of the class of 1912, and leaves a brother to follow in her footsteps. -alr- J AMES KIRKPATRICK. The highest point in the class is oc- cupied by Kirkpatrick. He has only been with us this year, but he .helped 1912 in the class meet like a. veteran. Jim is a pretty good sort all the way up. BEULAH FISHEL. Beulah is Axel's wife. Do you get me? It docsn't reach farther than the play though. Beulah is a good com- panion at 21. class dance. for she is both patient and generous. Those are good traits, nicht V? FRANCES ANDERSON. Frances and Mamie are rather insep- arable. so they might be characterized alike. Frances is a solid Geometry shark, and revels in planes and spheres. Not. ORPHA COULTER. The owner of this countenance is Orpha, one of the numerous girls who adds weight to our class. Orpha is one of a noted family, and she equals their fanie. i RUPERT BERRY. Fat is the strong man of the class. He has a deep bass voice, and un unlimited ability for Geometry and themism-y. He is a diplomat among women, but he limits himself to one only, :ind a 'Junior at that! Let him suffer. ' Pegs Twenty Nine v - -+v GLADYS CUMMINGS. Gladys has this year been raised to the position of student. She shows no end of ability in German or Geometry. She is, to be sure, aiflicted with a Junior watehguard, but she is a good twelver. She and Petie will u11doubt- edly make a hit in this World. NETTIE B URN S. Although not a native of our town, she casts her lot with us daily in the sehoolrooni. Gentle and quiet she spends most of her time on the car line between here and the crossing. EMMETT MeNABB. Hello, Doc. Nabb eombines the stoop-shouldered figure of an athlete. with the soft voice and gentle ways of a girl. He is an honest. decent sort of a ehulnp, who will probably get through with no hon- ors, but plenty of friends. FRIEDA STUEPFERT. l Frieda is our rising German shark. She is also taken by outside interests, but that 's all right. He 's a good look- ing fellow but so is Frieda.. Frieda and Ruth R. are long friends. RUTH ALEXI. Ruth is always ready to lend a will- ing lltllld in all our class stunts. She 's a dandy worker i11 everything doing. NEVA SLOAN. And here is Neva, quiet and unob- trusive. Her greatest faults are her inconceivable love for chemistry II. and Senior Algebra. Neva is there with the quiet work, though. l3liANC,lTl+I SHA RER. Blanche carries on enough corres- pondence for the whole school. She and Beulah are fast friends to mutual advantage. She is a leader at our par- ties. and is a specialist at hay-rack rides. OVVEN LOVEJOY. ! I I Lovey is our westerner. His broad brim and sticker are Well known camp- us sights. Lovey is the most proifieient exponent of blulfing among the Sen- iors. He also lays elaimito the titles of football star, debater and orator, and would be. Q GLADYS SAPP. ' ' Dewcedly rascally. She has talent for anything from music to snake Cll?11'l11lI1g'g naturally so inclined. She speaks German fluently, but boys don 't bother her. She 's past them. Her interpretation of childhood is unique and sure to captivate her audience. AGNES STEXVART. A gnes, says some, is Carv's colleague for the Lillian Russell beauty prize. She is unquestionably pretty, but oh, what a sharp tongue she possesseth! But she is no respecter of persons, or privilege. We predict a bright and glorious future for Agnes as supervisor of the Adeline E. Prouty Home. Page Thirty One Page Thirty Two RUTH ROBINSON. She might be taller, but we're glad she 's not. It runs in the family. She always does her share with anything that eomes along, including German. BESS FARRELL. Bess has curly hair and a pretty complexion. She's usually very quet, but when she starts out for a lark, she makes things hum, I tell you. JOHN CASS. Llilll busted. Jaek's first name is Johnnie 3 he is a quiet sort of a fellow, peaceful, loving his 'fpipfv' his pompadour and his frieudsg carefully keeping track of the bowling alley, where he throws the halls down the gutter. 'iJohnny says Uthe girls call me sweet. MILDRED ANDERSON. 'CA laughing face, fresh hued and fair. greets us when this maid we meet. Rosy cheeks are hers in full measure as are a happy disposition and :J light heart. VERNA PIERCE. Verna is 0118 of the few who have successfully penetrated the mazes of Physics. But she does not confine her- self to this, being equally proffieient in Deutsch or English. But she should be, since she enjoys proximity to our class shark, and valedietorian. . KATHERINE FREY. Oh darn it. K. C. is our belle. Hers is woman's realm, and her seductive glances act as cupid's arrows. Her favorite animal is the perambulating parrot. Among her victims are Lovey, Hook, and per- haps by association, our president. RUTH PATTERSON. The dark-haired queen of the nomads is Ruth. She is Sidney's cousin, so, she is in with the treasurer, Miss Davis. She is one of Mr. Jones' proteges. ALLEN MOVVRY. Allen has tried to make up to bril- liancy, as you will see later in this volume. Allen has an ability for tak- ing points in the field meets. He is a solid aid to 1912, CORA FOREMAN. Well that Albert Jones is the mean- est thing. Code is one of the latest assets to our ranks, showing a special ability ill class parties, wherever a capable hand is needed. She is a shark at roasting weinies and making tomato soup. MIRIAM NICHOLS. ls she not passing fair? Gifted with an artistic taste and a bent towards Physics. She is loved by all who know her. Page Thirty Three Page Thirty Four ALICE MCLEAN Aw - W - W - W - W' Snip is to the girls what Hiek is to the fellows-at leader. She is re- nowned for her prowess in many lines, but especially for her recent conquer- ing of the class westeriier. Snip is at jolly companion, zu Wairm friend and zu. cliemistry shark. ERNEST SKAGGS. Skaggs is the only one of our class who has grown up. He is as independ- ent :is lm Follette, while am exponent of reciprocity. Skaggs has the brow of the thinker, with habits of a hermit. lle is ai useful member of our class as ai track inim, baseball pitcher, and de- bziter of note. MILDRED NALEAN. The heroine in the play is Miss Mil- dred Nzileain. and ai very fair leading lady she maketh. Mildred is ai good sort who doesn't seek favors, but who gains good will. She is at good worker or associate, as time demands. ITAZEL KERN. She doesn't make much eonnnotion but she's there all the same. VVe don 't know what she's going to do in the future but she 's sure to shine. EDGAR DABLER. N7Vhenever anything is doing, Spider is there. His haunts are the P. A. Club and Jarv'sg his friends Cliff and Miss Stetson. He is ai vaudeville artist of note, at eoniedizin of some ability. His specialties are his brizir, his auto, and his bat-wing tie. - 1.4!

NVho can forget the fall of 1908? The earth seemed surrounded by an atmosphere highly charged with forces, centrifugal and otherwise. The up- rising and down-going: of the sun was not' 'lhe stars dodged i11 all directions to avoid being swept out of the universe by the mighty oncoming of an un- known comet. Astronomers were at a loss to account for the phenomenon, and called to their assistance every authority from the XVise Men down to Doe, But all to no avail. Terror seized the world. VVas it about to be torn to pieces? It was! There was a dazzling radiance and an awful shock as the great luminous mass ploughed its way straight into the P. ll. S., and stood revealed, the class of 1913. Our preparatory year was spent in quietly Nj getting' used to our new surroundings andwaiting for the eyes of the world to become strong enough to gaze on our brilliancy. In our Freshman year, the boys nobly distinguished themselves by winning three points at the class meet. To cause an equal sensation. the girls discarded their rats. XVe could answer with promptness all questions save the one, Have you seen the apple blossoms in the spring, in the spring? That was too much for us. In our Sophomore came our introduction to the public-when the Sophomore contest took place. to the complete satisfaction of the contestants, as well as those Whose tastes lay more in the direction of the banquet follow- ing. On the calendar of 1912 March eighth, was a brilliant red or at least should have been4to signify Junior Day. It opened with the roar of cannon and came to a successful close with the gold and brown still fluttering on the breeze. As all well-trained comets, in our course we have been casting oft fragments of Freshmen and Sophomores. Thirty-nine atoms have fallen into space and thirty-five Juniors remain to illuminate the earth. M. M. ,13. Page Thirty Six ' ' SNAP SHOTS.

In the fall of 1909 we assembled for the first time in the hall of the P. H. S. We listened with awe and wonder to the speeches of the Board and at noon left the building with only a little less fear and trembling than we had entered it in the morning. Our bashfulness was soon overcome, however, as we became accustomed to the ways of high school. ' In our Preparatory year we elected Janet Bryant as class president and chose red and white for our class colors. We did very little that year except to set an example for the rest of the school by our faithful study and good behavior HJ As our Freshman class president we elected Franklin Andersong with Nathan Gray vice-president. We had a hal1owe'en party at Monier's, and had a nice time, although it was a very stormy night. Later we had a party in the library and had a mock wedding as part of the entertainment. Sad to say we forgot that we had once been examples of good behavior Cand careful studyj, but fortunately most of us finished the year with enough credits to become Sophomores. As Sophomores, our class was entertained at a very enjoyable party at Arthur Kann's. The boys of the class then gave the girls a party at Brad- ley's. The class was well represented and everyone had a good time. Thus for we have patiently endured the appearance of both Junior and Senior class pins and if nothing more annoying occurs, the Class of 1914 will pass a pleasant year as Sophomores. M. C. '14.

Miss White was trying to get some one to prove, from a large triangle drawn on the board, that the square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides. She finally called on Evelyn Nelson, who studied a.nd then asked: Well, what are you trying to prove?

M U S I G MUSIC Under the excellent supervision of Miss Cone, the high school music of 1911-1912, has occupied a very high plane. The new features of the year have been a Boys' Glee Club, whose skill was recognized at their first appear- ance, and an orchestra, with Miss Cone as director. The High School Chorus, as usual, has thoroughly demonstrated its ability in the high class of selections, and in their rendition. The music selected by Miss Cone has included selec- tions from the operas, from composers such as Vilagner, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Cowen and Offenbach. These selections have always proved popular, due to the careful training given the Chorus by its director. The musical event of the year Was The Rose Maiden Concert, which was given by the High School Chorus, with tI1e aid of soloists of note. This concert was very Well attended and received. The music of P. H. S. hasubecome one of its most important features, and it has i11 quality and quantity filled every desire of pupil and patron. I ' PRINCETON HIGH SCHOOL GLEE CLUB. FIRST TENOR C.

One of the most representative organizations of the school is the High School Athletic Association. This Association is made up of students and teachers of the High School interested in Athletics. Dues are charged, but a rebate is given to members on tickets for all meets held under the aus- pices of the Association. . The Association was not organized this year until after Christmas, but already a strong membership of enthusiastic students testifies the interest of P4 H. S. in the athletic branch of school life. At an early meeting of the Association, Miss Stetson, the then acting principal, was unanimously chosen president, while Nick Mcliean was elected treasurer without a dissenting vote. Under the active work of McLean, the membership has already grown to almost 200, or over one-half of the student body. The iirst meet held under the 'Association's auspices was the Inter-class Track Meet, on April 25th. In this meet, the Seniors won by an overwhelming number of points. Among the meets in which the Association has decided to enter contestants are the Mili- tary Tractf' the Big Eight, and the Bureau County. The Association is a very desirable aid to school life. It is to be hoped that in the future as in the past the student body will give it the support it must have for successful existence. Page Fifty Four - THE ATHLETIC SLIPPER. 'Yfi One of the best innovations of recent years is the Athletic Supper, held for the purpose of egettiugr funds for the carrying on of the Athletics of P. H. S. This year, the supper was noteworthy for its large attendance, its beautiful decorations, and for the smoothness with which the event was carried on. The Athletic Supper is held in the High School Library, in which space is allotted to the respective classes for their tables and decorations. The entire walls and ceiling were a mass of bunting, in which the Senior purple and white were flanked by brown and gold of the Jiiniorsg red and white of the Sophomoresg by the blue and gold of the Freshmen 3 and black and gold ofthe Preps. About 500 people were served, in two hours. Wllile tl1e Athletic Supper means work for all concerned, it is an important factor in the necessary adjunets to High School life. If there is any lesson learned from it, it is that of co-operation. For once in the school year, you see the class colors peacefully resting side by side, with no bitter rivalry between the class 1l18I1llJ01'S. The Athletic Supper, both for the training it gives, and for the cause it aids, is one of the best events of the school year. I Page Fifty Five FOOTBALL NICK MCLEAN, Captain Wheli school opened in September of 1911, seven veterans of last year were found on the roll call. This looked encouraging and gave promise of a good team. Nick was again chosen as captain, and practice was begun early in the season under direction of Clarence Rapp, the wizard coach of 1909-10. In answer to the first call to practice, twenty-five or thirty candidates. Pale Fury six ' responded. From these, Beyer was picked for fullback, Sutton for left half, Laiferty and Dabler for guard and tackle, and Gorman and Conley as subs. After this it seemed impossible to keep a second team on the field to line up against in practice. This injured the first team, but the boys worked hard in anticipation of the season before them. The first game of the season was scheduled with Dixon College. They had been reported as weighing in the neighborhood of 189 pounds and had a schedule for tl1e season that included such teams as De Paul College. With these reports, our team went on the field with the expectation of a hard game, but it was soon seen that speed and perfect team work overwhelms brawn, and when time was called, the score was 63 to our opponents 0. This was followed the next week by a game with Peoria Manuals. The score of Prince- ton, 38, Peoria, 0, tells the story. The effect of these victories was to cause a feeling of over-coniidence in the team, and the practice the next week was slow and unsatisfactory. The game with Galesburg, one of our old rivals, was all that could be expected with the practice. Our boys could make no gains, but they held the oppossing team to a scoreless game. ' 1 On the following Saturday, the P. H. S. team suffered the first defeat of the season at Moline, losing' to the sturdy down-state team, 11 to 0. Early in the game Moline rushed Princeton off their feet and scored two touchdowns. After this, Princeton rallied, and at one time rushed the oval to within a ,foot of the line and then lost it on a fumble. Sutton, who was discovered three nights before the game, to be a drop kicker, tried several times to rescue the game with his toe, but was unable to score. Coddington and Capt. Nick McLean were the stars of the line-up. Coddington made several runs for thirty yards, and Capt. McLean was a consistent ground gainer, although disappointed at the defeat, the rootcrs had nothing but praise for the blue and gray,-, and the plucky fight they put up against the conquerors. The prac- tice after -the defeat at Moline was full of snap and determination. The de- feat of Streator 52 to O, showed that Princeton had come back to its own. Every member of the team put up an excellent game. The back field, Beyer, Sutton, McLean and Lovejoy and the ends, Berry and Coddington, carried the ball for gains ranging from five to sixty yards. For Streator, Reinel at quarter, Schull, fullback and Holderman at right end, were stars. Although Streator was outplayed at every point in the 'first three quarters, they came back strong in the last quarter and kept the ball in Princeton's territory most of that period.

This was accoinplished withino great trouble, the score being 28lto 0, at the end of the third quarter. 'During the third quarter, a hard rain came up, which made it almost impossible to play, and Captain McLean granted the requestiof the opponents, that they stop thc game. A A L it ' ' 'The' defeat at Kewanee of 9 to. 0 was the hardest blow that our team received this year. Lovejoy had sprained his ankle in practice the Aweek before and was unable to play. Berry had to be taken from his end and placed at Page Fifty Eight quarter, and Conley was put in Berry's place at end. Cripplcd in this Way, .our team went to Kewanee with about two hundred and fifty rooters to help the game. Although the boys played hard, the interference could not get right, and the luck seemed to be with Kewanee. Spears was the Kewanee sta-r,' doing the kicking for them. f ' i' f 1 4 C For Thanksgiving Day, Bowen High School, of'Chieagoy'fwasf secured. The game was played on a snow covered field, before a crowd of at least .six hundred people. . The Bowen team was a well balanced .one,i and each man played his position well. The back field men were especially fast and the ends put up-a first-class defense. . R P ' Dreyer, Tredup, Neuer and Cameron were perhaps thestars. How- ever, the score of 17 to O, in favor of Princeton, shows that our team played the best ball. Captain McLean, the hero of so many previous battles, surpassed all of his other playing and played as he had never played before. 'His long runs, tackles and interference were perfect. Lovejoy never ran the team any better, and he made some good tackles while playing on the defensive. Berry, still Wearing his wrist i11 a plaster cast, from a previous injury, made some fine tackles and two of our three touchdowns. This game closed one of the most successful seasons ever experienced by the Princeton High School. No other team in this section of the state finished the season undefeated, so there are no real champions for the year of 1911. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Rapp for the remarkable showing of the P. I-I. S. football team. It is due to his unlimited knowledge of football and ability to drive determination into the boys, that has made Princeton a championship contender. ' RECORD FOR THE SEASON. .

THE I TER-CLASS MEET Although the season this year delayed the training for the Class Meet, there were a large number of entries from the four upper classes for the events. The Seniors have for four years captured the cup, but this year, the Sophs saw victory confidently in their hands. Lack of material and train- ing told, however, upon them. and the Seniors, with a splendid list of athletes including Hickman, McLean, Berry, Gorman, Berlin, Dabler, Kirkpatrick, Bryant, Mowry. Skaggs, ended the contest with a 2--1 victory. Contrary to expectation. the Juniors were strong, and it is the belief now that the cup will be theirs- next year. At no time during' the meet was there any danger of a Soph victory. Owing to lack of competition. very poor time was made in several events. Mcluean was a surprise in the dashes, pushing Coddington for a close second in the 100-yard dash. 111 the half, Berlin ran an excellent race, While in the discuss. Berry easily outelassed his rivals. The stars of the meet in number of points won, were Ilickinan and Gorman.

Page Sixty One TRACK ATHLETICS EDWARD GORMAN, Captain Track Team. Although the Princeton High School feels deeply the loss of some of the best track men the school has ever had, and especially Elsea Hickman, We look forward this year with the same spirit which has characterized the P. I-I. S.xheretofore. We have the material, and anticipate a, successful year. Page Sixty Two THE TRACK TEAM. 1 The weather man has not given ns a very good spring to work for at successful track team. Ilowever, the class meet showed that there' was some good material if the boys C311 only get the practice. The only old men on thc team are Gorn1an,icaiptain a. medal winner of last year and Coddington, a, fast man for the dashes. The new me11 are Beyer, for shot and high jump, Sutton for standing broad jump and a possible runner, and Berlin for the half mile run. The meets scheduled for this' year are the Military- Tract Meet at Macomb, May 3rdg the Big Eight at Galesburg, May 4thg a meet with Kewanee and Galesburg at Kewaneelilay llthg and the County Meet to be held in Princeton, May 'l7th. On account of the two meets coming 011 the 3rd and 4th of May, the team will he forced to stay in Galeshurg or Macomb the night of the third. This will he hard on the teamiand if Captain Gorman can bring home honors from 'both meets, he will do great credit to himself and to the school. ' ' , , Q. 1 , , X X, , .. '.' ,I .u 'u .

In honor of the occasion the girls of the class of 1913 staged a clever farce in the form of a debate on the all absorbing topic of Reciprocity with Mars. Throughout the day the usual rivalry between Seniors and Juniors ran high, reaching a climax with the lowering of the 1913 banner by the girls of 1912, Cowing to the unavoidable disability of the Senior boysj An interesting declamatory contest made up the evening program to the credit of all taking part.

The debate is held under the auspices of the Big Eight Association, with Knox College as director. The question this year was, Resolved, that the ratification of the recently proposed Reciprocity treaty between the U. S. and Canada would have been to the best interests of both countries. As in the debate of last year, the affirmative teams re-- lnained at home, while the negative teams Spoke on the foreign floor. Our affirmative team was Edward Gorman. Norris Remsburg, and Ernest Skaggs, while Miles Bryant, Roswell F. Magill, and XY. Raymond Pierson supported the negative. At Princeton, the Kewafnee debaters gained the decision by a 2-1 vote of the judges. The Princeton team acquitted tliemselves nobly, how- ever. At Kewanee, the Princeton debaters won 3-0, leaving the final score of the debates, Princeton, 41 Kewanee, 2. After the debate, a reception in the library was given by the Seniors to the visiting debaters, the faculty, the judges and members of the Junior class.

CAs we saw ourselvesg written in the Seventh Grade, Lincoln Schoolj My name is Owen Lloyd Lovejoy, and I was born in the city of Princeton. As a child, I was a white-headed, blue-eyed, little shaver, and used to wear kilts and used to say hugar for sugar, and Hhoopl' for soup. As a baby they say I was rather queer and when I was born there was as great a commotion among the elements as when Glendower, the Welsliman, was born. Wlien I was six years of age, I entered the Lincoln school in this city. My teacher was Miss Eva K. Happes. and I used to read out of a little rcd-cov- ered reader and play with cubes. I didn't lea1'n much out of school and I don 't know that I learned much in. As I grew up I had to work. At first it was easy, but as I grew older the work became harder, and when father was gone, I felt a great responsi- bility had been shifted from his shoulders to mine, my older brother being away most of the time. As for pursuits. I guess my mother did most of the pursuing, for I used to run away all the time. I usually get up about seven in the winter, but in summer I am always up by half past five. I like to play all games from marbles to eight ball pool, although I am not very expert in any of them, but I consider football the best for exer- cising all the muscles. g The books I like to read vary from the most solemn works of Long- fellow to the blood-curdling adventures of A. Conan Doyle, Hlld it just depends what kind of a mood I am in which I read. As for friends, I don't know what to say. Everybody I don 't hate is my friend. It is my desire to go to College, that is if I ever get out of High School, but just where I don 't know, but I think it will be one of the eastern Colleges I do not expect to be a business man in general for I know that I could never sit in an office all day when I was thinking of hunting ducks. At present my desire is to go to the naval academy at Annapolis, but if I go through High School I may change my mind. The last and most important topic, disposition I will leave to my friends and teachers, for if I attempted to describe it, I might make a blunder. That I have a loving disposition as one boy said, I will leave that to the girls. Page Ninety Eight My name is Grace Elizabeth Roberts. My childhood has been a very happy oneg it has been spent in Princeton. Illinois. My occupation is helping my mother and taking care of the horse. I get up about seven o'clock, eat my breakfast, make 1ny bed, and then get ready for school. The sports and games I like to play are Dare Base, ' and Pompompu1lway. I have a' great ma11y friends. My chum is Ava M. Gray. My plan for the future is to go through High School and then go away to College and then be a kinder- garten teacher. My natural disposition is slow and easy-going and I will leave the rest for my friends to decide on. I, Edith C. Baldwin, was born in Princeton, Illinois. My first long trip on the train was when we went to Kansas. Four of my cousins lived there, and we had ma.ny good times. I used to be much afraid of dogs as some persons are of mice. but I believe it is easier to overcome one's fear of dogs than of some smaller ani- ma.1s. Although I always had a. great many playthings, I never had but one live pet, and that was a cat. She. poor creature, ran away before I had her very long, and I never saw or heard of her since. I commenced my education in a country school about a mile from home. Later, I had the privilege of starting in the second grade of the Lin- coln school, the first term the new building was used. The first concert in which I took part was one given in the Apollo Hall about six years ago by the pupils of Miss Smith, Miss Bratnober and Prof. Dick. I am very fond of games. and know how to play some quite well, but I ,abhor cheating. If all the plansvthat I have made mature, I expect to go to the P. H. S. and graduate. After this I want to go to a Normal College for a year or two. Then if I have enough patience,I want to teach a year or so. After a.ll this preliminary preparation, I expect to take a course in music at Oberlin, and do what Iihave always wanted to do-teach music. V I was given the name of Walter Raymond Pierson. My childhood was very eventful,-many events that are of no importance and are forgotten. I have had many falls, some proving very serious. C 'D ' I have taken no out-of-school lessons except music, and I have taken , Page Ninety Nine only six lessons in that. I have some occupations to perform before and after sehool, but they are so simple that it is hardly worth while to name them, such as-carrying up wood, carrying up coal, etc. Checkers and Crokinole are my chief games and I think I stand a good chance of winning a game played by me and someone else my age. I also like to play baseball and football. I think, to my estimation, I have many friends and relatives. I will try to complete the P. H. S. and will probably go somewhere else. As to my object in life. I am very undecided. My natural disposition is a fact left for someone else to tell, not me. I, Agnes Stewart, was born in Forrest, Livingston County, Illinois. Wlleii I was eleven months old, my parents moved to Princeton. We lived on South Church street until I was seven, when we moved to East Peru. I am sorry to say that I am slow about rising, and only get dressed in time to finish setting the breakfast table. I like outdoor sports and like to play other games. I am not sure what kinds of books I like best, but I like Treasure Island, Pontiac, Chief of the Ottawasf' HA Son of the Revolution, Sig- nal Lights, Little VVomen, ' a11d Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. I expect to go through High School and College, and I want to be a singer. I am 11ot a very good judge of my disposition, but my brother says I am a spitfire. I, Mildred Nalean, was born near Princeton. My ehildhood days were spent on the farm, playing with my numerous dolls and the dog and eat. During my summer vacations, I planted and attended my flower beds, observed carefully the different species of birds and took an interest in the duties of the household. I rose early in the morning, took a short walk, and was invigorated by the exercise. One of my chief sports was to teach my Page One Hundred shepherd dog tricks. He was very smart, and we had good times together. On winter evenings, my father and I delighted in playingcheckers and crokinole, but I especially enjoyed them when I was the winner. My plans for the future are to attend the High School, and if I com- plete the course. with honor, I will, if possible, advance into a University. After I have finished there, I will teach English and I hope to meet success in my future work. i V My name is Roswell Foster Magill. My occupations since I have come to Princeton are confined to the printing off cards of all kinds, and to the publishing of the Midget, a paper printed every month. My pursuits were for a time in the direction of stamp, collecting, but I have now to use a cattle- man's expression, loeoed on printing. ' I am in the habit of rising at the hour of seven, except in the week, when I go to press on the Midget, when 6 a. m. is much more to my pur- pose. My work is mowing the lawn, chopping a certain tree into kiudling, and taking care of the yard generally. - My plans for education are, first, to go through the P. H. S., and see- ond, to go through a first-class College. My plans for business are along the line I have started, namely, to be Editor-in-Chief of a paper. My natural disposition is well known to those who know me best, and those who don't, can find out of those first mentioned.

Page One Hundred Three Carver 'TO THE JU IORS. Three years and seven months ago, the members of 1912 received through the portals of P. H. S. a new class, conceived in greenness and dedi- cated to the proposition that life is all play. We have now been engaged in solving the problem whether this class or any class so eonceived and so dedi- cated can long endure. VVe have iinally reached a conclusion, and have come to dedicate this class as a iinal resting place for Senior flunkers and for all Whose lot it is to there belong. ln a large sense we cannot educate, we cannot elevate, we cannot alter this class. The brave men awake or asleep who rule it have mutilated it far beyond our poor power to add or to subtract. The World will little note nor long remember what they did here, but it can never forget what we say here. It is for them, the pitiable, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which we who toiled here have thus far so nobly ad- vanced. It is rather for them to be here dedicated to the great task remain- ing before them-that from our honored class they take increased devo- tion to that persistent search for knowledge for which we give our wakeful nights and midnight oil-that they here highly resolve that our example shall not have been in vain-that this class under the brown and gold shall have-a new burst of kuowledgre-and that government of the pupil, by the teacher, and for the honor ol' the school shall not perish from the earth.
