Then did she warn him of the pitfalls which should be put in his path, but she told him not the half of them, for she knew not how the times had changed. Then tied she in the corner of his kerchief a piece of silver wherewith he might buy nourishment if haply some superior should covet his lunch basket. And behold as he went forth he did meet many sorrowing like unto himself and he did join the company of these wretched. And lo, these pilgrims did band together and in company did they approach the front portals of the ancient castle. Full many were the hardships endured at the hands of the hordes who dwelt in the land of High School. And for protection they did band together under the leadership of one Wendell, the son of Piers Plowman. And lo, there came unto the faithful a deliverance from grammar and arithmetic and they escaped the tyranny of Prepdom and fled into the realm of Freshmen, during the reign of Frank Leslie, the Black, and were generaled successfully by Vivian surnamed MacDonald. And one Enos did step out upon the gridiron and saith he, Lo, l will be your quarterback, and verily no man did ever gainsay him. And it came to pass that their thoughts turned from Latin to the pleasures of the world and they did masquerade in the library of Frank's stronghold. Then even from the fields came a ruddy youth named Gene the Brute, who did marshal the host of Sophomores through the campaigns of the year. Then did they hold festival and the strongest did match the strength of their teeth against the fibres of a venerable fowl, a pensioner from the inn-keeperhs barnyard. And then did they convene and tread a measure to the strains of cymbals and viols. And behold the whole realm did marvel at the mighty genius of them who did present a spectacle at the Trysting Place for the king's approval. And some of them did essay to read at sight things which they knew not of and understood not at all, and behold one Henry did re- ceive the judges' praise and of the maidens fair Imogene did receive acclaim. And behold it came to pass another king did reign who was known throughout the land as Owen the Omnipotent albeit it was not known what he owed. And lo, in the reign of Owen, his castle did burst forth in flames which no power could quench. Then were the king and all his subjects re- fugees and did seek an asylum along the market place and in the temples of the city. And it ca'me to pass that brave Enos, who had waged war full many a time on the Creek named Skin, was given command of this great clan. After many a moon of mourning did the Juniors make truce with the Seniors and the two mighty hosts did go to Alexandria and there made merry with feasting and dancing. And behold the truce was held until the day of the Page Th ty-one .. Clihe Tiqer Junior-Senior picnic should be accomplished. On this day of days they did so- journ to the land of Dixon which is situate on the river which is called Rock. Then of one accord did they partake of rich food and discover the handi- crafts of one Lillian the Hassler, who did excel at baking sweet loaves. And full many of them did acquire numerous blisters at the oar and Sol did send a scourge to burn them upon the necks and faces. Then did they replenish the ranks of the Seniors and were almighty war- riors in Owen's castle. Now were they mighty in strength and valor and on the grid found they few equals and lo, Kewanee was not of these. And they did follow Roy the Diligent unto the peak of their fame and he did prove a good and mighty leader, and few could excel him in combat by word of mouth. And they did sponsor a ball for the benefit of the kingis peut, The Tiger, and lo, the shekels did flow into the king's coffers. And lo, they did accomplish a feat as yet unaccomplished in all the land, for did they not make the monster Lyceum pay tribute to them? Then did the governors select a company who should delight the court and public with a mighty spectacle por- traying Adam and Eva and this company did acquit themselves nobly of their respective roles. At last Owen did ordain that all good things must cease and the date was set aside for the rewards to be given the victors. Loud and glorious were the clamors for first place. And one Dorothy, surnamed Ralph gained the highest mark and did address the throngs in the arena, called Apollo, on the final day. Thus saith the prophet, lf any tribe is to excel theirs, it will be in the far distant future. Selah. NSl9 '7 e P g Thi ty-tW0 mmHHDDH Cfhe Tiqer Ihr 'igP1',5 'HIP PART 5 T WANT ADS LOST AND FOUND.

S. welcomed back her students and among them were the Sophomores. As soon as we had become accus- tomed to the new routine, a meeting of the class was held and the officers for the year were chosen, namely, Lillian Bryant, president: Ronald Peterson, vice-presidentg Clifford l-luffaker, treasurer and Margaret Swartsly, secretary. After a few weeks of strenuous work, we decided to have a party, so the officers and advisers got together and started to plan for it. But fate seemed against us, for as soon as we set a date, the party had to be postponed and after several futile attempts it was given up altogether. Then the benevolent seniors, taking pity on the whole school, gave a costume party at which many of the sophomores bloomed forth as tiny tots, tomboys, and troubadours. The football season came to an end and its successful work was brought about partly by the Sophomore players. Here's to the juniors of next year's team! Early in the year I926 a number of Sophomores were taken into the Latin club and each one was compelled to sacrifice something for his membership. George Clark then reeled off on a screen a series of beautiful pictures which were explained by Miss Graham. Then the best part of all was administer- ed-the eatsl Through the hurry and bustle of the school year, the debate teams have shown what they can do. On these teams are three Sophomores, Jane Gillham, Roger Harris, and Dick Ferris and they have certainly shown their ability in their good debating. The Sophomores were quite disappointed in not being able to have a play as has been the custom, but the contest was held just the same. The win- ners of the contest were: jane Gillham and Lorraine Peterson, tied for first: Vivian Rabe, third. Richard Ferris obtained first place for boys, Roger Harris, second and Lorraine Dillon, third. We still have two more years to go before we reach our destination and by that time the seniors of '28 will be able to look back and remember how hard geometry was and what fun they had with general history. -M.

For several days there was a mad dash from the Mission Church to the City Hall, then back to the Mis- sion Church to the City Hall, then back to the Mission Church again-books in one arm-program waving frantically in the other and papers making a long trail behind. This did not last long, though, and now I am sure the Freshmen could not be told from the Sophomores anyway. We elected the following officers: Fred Russell, President, Harriet Brown, Vice-President: Donald Mercer, Secretaryg Margaret Pratt, Treasurer. Our advisers are Miss Austin, Miss Beste, Miss Kienzle and Mr. Nance. As all good Freshmen should, we have remained in the background all year-even in yelling at assembly. But that is all right-modesty becomes Freshmen-so we are told-and even if our pep does not show it is there just the same. ln the operetta, given in january, several of the Freshmen girls were given a chance to show what talent they had. How did it come out? If you were not there, you missed something. Ask Mrs. Simmons what she thought of the amateurs.

Football Review ITH THE LOYAL SUPPORT of the townspeople, Princeton was able to have one of its most successful seasons in football. The team played before the best and biggest crowds in the school's history. The season was opened at Buda: the team winningby a score of 20-0. The second game was played at Peoria Manual. The field was a verit- able pond of water, and our boys were swamped 25-0. ln the LaSalle game the team played much better, but were again beaten by a close score of 7-0. The Mendota game was a winner for Princeton. The team played a well planned game and defeated the LaSalle County team 20-0. Monmouth was played in a drizzling rain the following Saturday, but nevertheless we again won. Score I2-0. Against Spring Valley, Princeton lost their third and last game. The team played a good game but we lost I 3-0. At Galva, the team was unable to function in the deep mud and Galva was able to hold us to a scoreless tie. Aledo proved to be a weaker team than was expected. Both the first and second teams were able to score almost at will. When the game ended, we were on the long end of a 40-6 score. The last and biggest game was played before an overflow crowd. The team played well and was able to score 34 points against 6 points for Ke- wanee. Stratton and Kasbeer each contributed long runs for touchdowns that gave the game that final bit of thrill that makes football the sport that it is. P g Ffty CAPTAIN COLE-Quarterback. A triple threat man. Bud has played four years and last year was his best. CAPTAIN-ELECT LEWIS-Halfback Excellent judgment was used in electing him captain. Lewis' defensive playing and line plunging were of the best caliber, despite the fact he was handicapped by injuries. GENE BRUTON-End. One of the lightest but best men on the squad. He overcame his weight handicap with fight. In addition to his defensive playing he was unusually adept at snaring passes. He will be hard to replace next year. PARKER STRATTON-I-Ialfback. A second Red Grange. A converted backfield man who filled the positions of fullback and halfback with equal precision. Red's speed and uncanny ability to circle the ends made him the most feared man on our team. Princeton will surely miss him next year. Page Fifty Cfhe Tiger Cfhe. Tiqer REUBEN LUNDBERG-Tackle An end or tackle and good either place. Pete is a junior and with his grit and fight should be a star next year. He earned the name for always being there. HARRY FULLER-End. The versatile end. Harry's heady playing and knack of tak- ing out the defense was a revelation to any team or player. Long will his playing be re- membered. ALBIN AN DERSON-Guard. A guard or tackle as the occasion arises. Opposing teams found Andy's position as impregnable as a stone wall. Albin is a sopho- more and much is expected from him in the future. RALPH J OHNSON-Fullback. One of the season's finds. Cupie possessed the stamina and power of a battering ram in his line plunging. Next year he should go big. Page Flfty-two HOWARD ALDRICH-Halfback. A most valuable back. Rarely sensational but always dependable he was one of the team's mainstays for two years. His blocking and leading of interfer- ence were hard to equal. WILLARD NEWBERRY-Tackle. An all-star mari. A former star who delivered as a tackle with greater glory. Bill's playing and ability will surely go clown in the pages of P. H. B. history. WILLIAM BATSON-Guard. Another guard of stellar ability. He was the most consistent and hardest working player of the squad. Bill surely was there -come on Bill, we're for you! HAROLD WARD-Center. His passing was faultlessf' Fat earned for himself the position of cen- ter. His passing was faultless and he charged like a human tractor. Page Fifty-thx ee Cfhe Tiger ' Cfhe 'Tiger ' CLIFFORD HUFFAKER-Quarterback. The smallest player on the squad. Extremely fast and clever in his running, Cliifie filled in fine as a general. He was also a good reliable passer and sure of his tackles. He has two more years. Watch him. DANIEL RUSSELL-Guard. A lineman hard to beat. Dan didn't have much weight, but he sure could stop his man. Dan is a junior, with one more year, he should blaze a trail of glory for himself. F ERRIS KASBEER-l-lalfback. A small but unusually clever back. Bus's ninety yard run for a touchdown in the Kewanee game was the longest run of the season. He always delivered when called upon. THEODORE WILSON-Tackle. A good tackle or a better guard. A tackle whose offensive and defensive play- ing threw a wrench into every opponent's ma- chine. Ted has the big year left to strut his stuff, and he undoubtedly will. Page Fifty-tour RICHARD FERRIS-Halfback. A truly versatile player. Dick could be placed either in the line or backfield and be relied on to deliver. Dick can open a hole, run interference, or tackle with the best of them. JOSEPH BARTLUM-Yell Leader. The best there is. Joe was out to the game each and every Sat- urday, leading the crowd in yells, and he cer- tainly was a big factor in winning the games. He certainly knows how to lead yells. DONALD NANCE-Coach. Alonzo Stagg hasn't a thing on him. Coming to Princeton at the start of the school year, Doc. soon won for himself a place in everyone's heart. He took a green and in- experienced squad and turned them into one of the best teams in this section of the state. We owe a great deal to him. ALBERT PANNEBAKER-Center. Another good lineman. Albert was handicapped with injuries the major portion of the year, yet his playing was of the best. His pivotal playing was always reliable. Page Fifty-fix e Cfhe Tiger Hmmm Cfhe Tiqer P. H. S.

Only seniors and juniors having a scholastic record which places them in the upper fourth of their class are eligible for membership. Fifteen per cent of the seniors and five per cent of the juniors from this number are selected each year. In 1924 eleven seniors and three juniors were elected to membership by the faculty. ln l925 eight seniors and three juniors were deemed worthy of this honor. This year seven seniors and three juniors were chosen. The new members are initiated each year before the school assembly and are then entitled to wear the emblem of the society.

NEGATIVE TEAM MARGARET FUNK JANE GILLHAM RICHARD FERRIS BIG NINE CONFERENCE: Resolved, That the United States Air Services Should be Placed on an Equal Basis with the Army and Navy. Twelve students organized a debating class at the beginning of the year and studied the above questions as any other high school subject. Debate became an important part in the routine of these orators. In assembly, early in January, the teams made their debut. Two practice de- bates, one at Sheffield and the other at Wyanet, helped to season and get the debaters in shape to think on their feet. The result was three-thirds affirmative in the debate with Sparland's negative on the child labor question here on March 2. The feature of the next debate was Princeton's all-girls' team who met Geneseo's negative there on March 12, but luck went against them in the decision on the Air question. Fortune favored Princeton's affirmative with a 3-0 decision on the child labor question at Wenona on March 26. N Both teams, having the wholehearted support - ' of the students, are now confident of winning the HOWARD ALDRICH state championship on May 8.

Stephenson, a very able and competent coach, spent many hours of hard work coaching the teams on delivery, poise, and style. They owe all their success as debaters to him. The negative team opened the season on the Air question, on January 12. The 2-1 decision for Mendota indicated a very close debate. However, this defeat aided in showing wherein Princeton's team could be strengthened. In the debate at Sparland on the State ques- tion, March 1, again the negative brought home the decision of only one judge. Howard Aldrich took the place of Jane Gillharn, and this combination lost to the strong Ke- wanee affirmative, here March 12, by only two- tenths of one point in the case of one judge and by only six-tenths of one point in the case of a second judge. The negative defeated Wenona by a 3-0 decision on the State question here on March 26. Princeton won ten out of twelve judges in the State league. Page Fifty-nine NELSON STEPHENSON Debate Coach Cfhe ma National Athletic Scholarship Socictq NEW ORGANIZATION IN P. H. S. is the National Athletic Scholar- ship Society founded last year. The purpose of this organization is to give the athlete, who is above the average in scholarship some form of recognition. In order to gain admittance a boy must have won an athletic letter and his scholastic record must have been higher than the average of the school for the preceding three semesters. P. H. S. has ten charter mem- bers and three new members, who were initiated this year. The P. H. S. charter members are Lloyd Lange, Phil Kopp, Walter Cork. Forrest Erickson, Lowell Devenney, james Charles, Howard Aldrich, Bud Cole, Gene Bruton and Harry Fuller. The members initiated this year were Dick Ferris, Lester Brems and Clifford Huffaker. Although the organization was founded only recently, it is fast be- coming a popular and highly regarded institution. I Sty W Cl' he Tiqer Hi-'U Club Dear Friend: Mentioning in your last letter your interest in the Hi-Y club, I will tell you a few things about it. The Hi-Y club, organized under the State Young lVlen's Christian Assor- ciation, is the only Christian organization in the high school. It consists of boys from the three upper classes who wish to follow its purpose, to create, maintain and extend throughout the high school and community high stand- ards of Christian character. The club has a platform which consists of four planks, known as the four C's , or Clean Speech, Clean Athletics, Clean Scholarship and Clean Living. This club does big things for the school and community. Each year under the auspices of the Hi-Y, an older boys' conference is held where the boys of the county gather to discuss their problems. A public program is given each year and money derived from the program is used to send several mem- bers of the club to Camp Seymour, the Hi-Y camp, each summer. Hoping you will become a member of the Hi-Y, I remain, Sincerely yours, A Hi-Y Member. Page Sixtv-one i-gg mm i CT he Tiqer The Spanish Club NE OF THE NEWEST additions to P. H. S.'s family of clubs is El Circulo Castellano organized early in September, l925. Despite its youth, it is growing rapidly, its members numbering about fourteen. lts meetings are very interesting, the programs, the songs, and the eats all contributing their share. One of the most interesting features of the programs is the regular one act play, the cast made up from the club members. Of course, the meetings are carried on in Spanish, thus aiding the mem- bers in speaking fluently their newly acquired language. Spanish games are played at nearly every meeting, one of the favorites being La Casa del Diablo . The members of El Circulo Castellano feel sure that after its bril- liant career thus far, it is destined for long life, and to be one of the most important organizations of P. H. S. I':u4't- N 1 tuo Cl' he Tiqer l Le Cercle Francais E CERCLE FRANCAIS is one of the liveliest clubs in school although We only have a regular membership of about fifteen. We believe that our meetings, which are carried on entirely in French, have been very suc- cessful. After the business has been attended to, interesting programs in French are given by the various members of the club. And sometimes after the program, we indulge in French games. The requirement for membership is successfully completing one year in the study of the French language. Those first year students who make an aver- age of 90 or above for the first semester are privileged to become members of our select society at the beginning of the second semester. This year we were very pleased to welcome three such students into our club. This year Mel Vera Harrauff is our president, with Margaret Simon as vice-president, and Dorothy Ralph holding the position of secretary and treasurer. With the help of our French instructress, Miss Beste, we feel that we are really learning a great deal of our European friends, and we hope to accomplish even more as the year draws to a close.

We respond to roll call with Latin epigrams or phrases having our initials, discuss in- teresting phases of Roman life, act Latin plays, play Latin games, sing Latin songs and even visit Latin Land via the stereopticon. The Societas Latina is probably the only club in P. H. S. which has the distinction of numbering among its active members some of the alumni. It is also the organization with the largest membership. A great club for the great! 1 L, sit f m.- Crhe Tiger if I Mia.-Sis' V 5 fm' i The Scribblers CC H, YOU ARE. A SCRIBBLERV' and the voice becomes respectful and envious.

The Scribblers have published the school notes each week. They gave The Sauce for the Goslingsu before the assembly and proved their ability to all. They have worked continually to promote and to foster high literary ideals. Stanley Turnbull is president, Enos Cole, vice-president and Mel Vera Harrauff is secretary and treasurer.

There may be music in the air , continued Mrs. Simmons but I wish you had some of it in your voices! However that dauntless lady soon had each boy singing that part for which his voice was best suited. Then came the daily practise. Glee Club work is not all exhibitions before the footlights. Far from it, as any Glee Club fellow can tell you. Those songs must be practised again and again. There are breathing exercises-technical facts and countless other things to be learned! And through it all, Helen Hamnett served faithfully at the piano. At various times the boys have shown their stuff . They sang at as- sembly meetings. At the Operetta and the Hi-Y entertainment they helped make the programs successful. A good start has been madeg here's to a better ending. Pzim- S my sexen Cfhe Tiqer Crchestrd A PLAY IN ONE ACT.

Grder of Qreqq Artists N THE EVE OF NOVEMBER 6, the girls in the advanced short-hand class organized a club-giving it the name of the Order of Gregg Artists, the O. G. A. for short. There are eleven members in the club, eight girls of the class, Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson, honorary members, and Mr. Martin, adviser. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: Hazel Larson, presiclentg Stella Nickelsen, vice-president, secretary and treas- urer. The Club was formed purely for a social purpose, so that acquaintances might grow into stronger friendships. Slowly and surely the money is slipping into the treasury so that we can take several trips that we have planned around the country.

STEPHENSON Honorary member MR. T. L. MARTIN, Adviser Hn J Cfhe Tiqer The Agriculture Club HE. AC CLUB is enjoying the most successful year in its history. It has forty-five members and they are practically all present at each club meet- ing. A lot of interest and friendly competition was aroused during the Pest Contest. The losers treated the winners to a feed and a fine program at the Presbyterian church. One of the objects of the Ag Club is to raise money to take a team of boys to the state livestock judging contest at Urbana. The Ag Club intends to finance this trip through their apple stand, the spraying of fruit trees, and their orchard project of forty trees. Page sex em w.---- Cl' he Tiqer ----35, The Alumni LTHOUGH OUR ALUMNI are scattered far and wide, yet they respond readily whenever they are asked for financial and literary contributions. Since the present class is l926, we thought- it might be interesting to hear from ISS6, l906 and l9l6. Mr. john D. Peterson, of Decatur, a graduate of the class of I9l6, sends the following greeting to the class of 'Z6: I wish to congratulate you on being about to graduate from one of the best High Schools in Illinois. This will be one of the most important steps in your lives. In a few months you will be entering colleges, univer- sities, or business careers. Your minds and thoughts will be taken up with your work, but you will never forget the personalities and high ideals of your instructors. It is ten years since I graduated from Princeton High, but the memories of my associations with Mr. Spurrier, Miss Stetson and all my other instruc- tors will never be forgotten. To my mind their lives are an ideal example of the thought I wish to leave with you-'You can take out of life only in pro- portion to what you put into it.' l will ask you to think on this little expres- sion as you leave high school and wherever you may go. It is one of the fundamentals of success, and a great source of satisfaction to those who follow it closely. I wish to thank you very much for the privilege of these few words, and to wish you all every success as you leave high school. Louis A. Zearing, '06 gives us a timely bit of advice: A contribution from a graduating class of twenty years ago speaks in terms of memories. The acts of youth firmly moulded into memories are forever fresh and keenly cherished. Those acts of youth, interwoven with the period spent in the Princeton Township High School, create an interest for the future betterment, welfare and expansion of that institution. The value and importance of education increases as the graduates of ten, twenty and thirty years ago can from their memories and experiences become fos- terers of building and builders. Let the class of 1926 take as a contribution from the class of 1906 the thought, that even in their youth, new youth fol- lows and for them they too must have fosterers of building and builders. Guy A. Bryant, a graduate of the class of I886 and also a member of the Board of Education, voices his sentiments in the following contribution: FROM THE CLASS OF I886 TO THE CLASS OF I926. To look forward forty years seems a long, long time, while in retrospect the years seem to shorten and in memory it is but a little while since the halls of the old P. H. S. echoed to the voices of the class of '86. Then life's problems lay before us just as yours lie before you now, and if in future Page Seventy-one vs-- Cfhe Tiger years as you go forth upon the road that is now opening out before you, the way sometimes seems rough and stony and the journey hard to make, just tread your allotted path with head erect, with shoulders squared and with a firm assurance that there is no greater satisfaction in this life than the knowl- edge of a worthy task accomplished under difficulties. As evidence that our class felt the same keen loyalty to our alma mater that you feel, let me quote a few words written by a dear classmate who years ago was called to the better home: The wide, wide world waits just beyond, The world of which we dreamed lang synel See, Outward from this High School Tower Unnumbered footpaths disentwinef' Yours, joe, and mine, and many more Made by the dear old girls and boys Who've wandered from these early doors To find afar their dream-bright joys. Almost we hear the whispered names, Almost the flitting forms we see Of those who in dear schoolboy days Made frolic here with you and me. Hang back the keyg shut fast the door: Keep step along this ghost-filled hall: We're two in a procession, Joe, Which crowds us out. God bless them alll 1 'if2'hi.1e' H ll! :- i fain: 'A EEE E , ..

Full far and wide the news was spread- The Seniors to the Tiger's ball The Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors bade Adopting the slogan, Come one, come all. The rules of admittance were straitly kept The guests appeared at the kitchen door A mask on the face, a dime in the hand, And were greeted by the Tiger's roar. Only the brave passed the beast so fierce, But now that 't is over, no one will care If l let out the secret-'t was only Roy Who snarled and roared in the Tiger's lair. First came a procession of all the guests Their costumes and masks to reviewg The judges were certainly sore perplexed To narrow their choice to a few. And, next on the program came prize-seeking stunts: The juniors a mock wedding gaveg The Sophomores enacted a scene at court Poor Dan Russell's life for to save.

Page Seventy-three mmmmmmmmm Cl' he Tiger mmm Junior DCCldmdlOFlj Contest HE. JUNIOR DECLAMATORY this year was held December 2, at the Congregational Church. At the appointed hour everyone was awaiting expectantly the appearance of the readers. Margaret Simon gave Oh G'wan , a pleasing sketch of a little boy who rescued a girl from drowning and was then adopted by the girl's father. Neeva DeVault gave A Critical Situation which was an embarrassing one to say the least. A girl and a man, whom she thought she knew, were engaged in conversation. Of course, the things they talked about got fear- fully mixed up and most of the time they were talking on different subjects. Helen Smith, in The Spoken Word , tells of the bad, bad teacher who has threatened to cut out the tongue of a little boy, and he goes around telling all his friends Good-bye until his parents found out the strange situation and they corrected his impression that the teacher meant it. Margaret Elaine Sweitzer's selection, The Truly Mother , was a tale of a little orphan girl who mothered the other homeless orphans. One time when one of the little girls was adopted, she cried because she was always left. Then a kind lady ends the story happily by adopting the little mother. Helen Harrauff in Whoa january ably impersonated an old lady who, because the old mare was gone, had to go to church with the race horse, which ran away. Wfien they go past the church, the old lady is not in a very dig- nified position, but she triumphantly exclaims, I had on my new stockings, anyway. Dan Russell, whose selection was Abraham Lincoln , told the life of that great American as if he saw it through a glass. Freddie Steadry in The Point of Honor , tells of a little ltalian boy who was the object of ridicule for the other boys. His father told him stories of a great sword which they possessed, but also tells him that it is no longer honorable to kill. One day the leader of the boys rudely shoves a girl. The italian boy remembers the stories of chivalry and the sword and then de- feats the red--headed leader. The little Italian boy is no longer ridiculed, but he is now the leader of the Gang For the girls, Margaret Elaine Sweitzer placed first, Neeva DeVault second, and Helen Harrauff received honorable mention. Freddie received first for the boys. Page Sc ty l' CT he Tiqer Junior Prom ECEMBER ll, i925-Alexander Park-a rustle of silk and satin skirts and a view of immaculate white collars and recently pressed dress suits. The junior Prom-that's the occasion. A fine looking group of juniors with a much smaller sprinkling of Sophomores and Seniors are in our midst. The master of ceremonies appears and bids the boys adjourn to one side of the room and the girls to the other in preparation for the grand march. The ice now broken, we all waited with many anticipations, the secrets are being un- folded by the fortune teller who left giggles, jest, great hopes and dismay in her wake. But on the whole the Junior class will be rather famous consider- ing the future presidents, kings and what not it has in its membership. As soon as the jazz orchestra begins tuning up, we hear something like this. May I have the first dance, Elaine? What dances have you for me? Don't forget, the third is mine. After the light-hearted dancers are quite tired out, the music stops and from the kitchen comes-ice cream and cake. During this feast a pennant with the name of some college is handed to every one and the mystery of mysteries is only solved when we are told to hunt out our partners for the Collegiate Dance. A little later, amid much laughter, a broom appears on the floor accompanied by one of the popular male members of the class and then a lively old fashioned Broom Dance follows. All join hands and circle around -cries someone and we all begin to Circle Two-Step . Then we all start homeward, leaving the hall to darkness and to ghosts. Stenoqraphic Contest 55 ET READY-GO! No, this is not the fifty yard dash nor any track contest. It is the signal for the typewriters to start clicking off at 50 to 60 per. Last year for the first time Princeton took part in the stenographic contest held at LaSalle. Track teams, literary teams, musical teams, steno- graphic teams, compete against each otherg in short it is a general all-around contest. This year the commercial department is sending two teams of speedy typists to LaSalle, including, from the advanced typing class: Margaret Funk, one of' last year's entries, Iona Corey, Alice Lorenzen and Margrer Pierson. The advanced students in the individual contests are: Margaret Funk, Alice Lorenzen and lona Corey. The first year typing class is sending: Richard Fuller, Leonard Anderson, Martha Christiansen and Margaret Halberg. Among the individual contes- tants are: Richard Fuller, Margaret Halberg and Leonard Anderson. Page- Seventy-five mm Cfhe Tiqer mmm Sophomore Banquet We can live without friends, we can live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks. HE COOKS, AS USUAL, played a most important part at the Sophomore Banquet, but the guests also feasted upon knowledge and entertainment. Lillian Bryant, the sophomore class president, acted as toast mistress. The starry heavens were brought to earth in several interesting toasts. Miss Stetson and Mr. Shaffer gave food to the infants in a discussion on The Milky Way . We hope the sophomores profit by their advice and grow ex- ceedingly strong . Warren Fox hailed the constellations and the first to descend into the midst of the revellers was Mars presented by Clifford Huffaker. The strong and sturdy Mars, of course, represented the athletes of which the sophomore class has a goodly number. Two sophomores were elected to the National Athletic Scholarship Society. Richard Ferris ans- wered the challenge with Leo, the Lion and told of the success of the sophomore class in the debating field. Three sophomores made the debating teams this year. At the date of the banquet they had helped win ten votes out of twelve in the State League and it is hoped they will help win the State Championship. Jane Gilham answered for Gemini the Twins and told of the loyalty of the sophomore class. They have supported Princeton in big things and little things. They showed school spirit whether selling tickets for some high school function or in the rooting for the team on the gridiron. The future of the class was prophesied and all the members are destined to be famous. For example, Marjorie Simons will be the foremost chorus girl in the follies in l930. A reading, entitled The Judgment Day was presented by Helen Ham- nett. The Scott sisters, Linda and Lucille, sang a duet, The March of the Mannequinsn. A clever little play- According to Agreement was presented by three sophomores. Charles Fawcett took the part of the father, Richard Johnson, the brother and Vivian Rabe, the sister. There are also several musicians in this class and the Team gave several musical numbers. Dancing completed the night's fun and the guests all kept begging, just one more extra . But finally the hour came when all must leave and amid many exclamations of delight over the pleasant evening, the gay revellers scat- tered in all directions. Page Scvcnly-six mm Cldhe Tiqer Sophomore Siqht Reading as Going to the Sophomore reading contest, Bill? Sure thing! Hurry up if you want to go with me. ls this the real thing or just the tryouts? lt's the real contest. You see, Stub, they're not having a play this year so they're having it in the afternoon at the Christian Church. Who are the contestants, besides jane Gilham, Marjorie Simons, Helen Hamnett and Lorraine Dillon? Well let's see, there's Caryl Harrington and Lorraine Peterson, Roberta Scott, Vivian Rabe, Dick Ferris and Roger Harris. There are quite a few students coming anyway. That man must be one of the judges. Where? Who is he? Reverend Burgess of the Christian Church. There's the other two on the other side: Miss Mary Uthoff, county superintendent of schools, and Ceo. O. Smith, city school superintendent. Wish they would hurry up and start. Who do you suppose will get first? Oh gee! Ask me something easy. I wish they would hurry up and tell us. This suspense is awful. There comes Miss Glisson now. 'Tm sure we've all enjoyed the contest this afternoon and we appreciate the fact that so many students have turned out. After much figuring by Mr. Shaffer and myself we find that Jane Gilham and Lorraine Peterson tie for first place and Vivian Rabe comes second. It not being quite fair to draw lots for first place, the money will be divided between Jane and Lorraine, and that puts Vivian third. For the boys, Dick Ferris placed first, Roger Harris second and Lorraine Dillon third. KApplause-Congratulations--Curtain.I FACULTY RECEPTION. The first social event of the new year! Great were the expectations of the large crowd of Juniors and Seniors who gathered at Alexander Park, Wednesday night, September 23. Why the lights and music, gay party dresses and happy faces? Nothing else but a reception for the faculty. The grand march started the ball rolling which was later kept in motion by stunts from four universities. lt didn't take much time for all the new teachers to feel as though they belonged to Princeton High. Henry Jackson and Helen Harrauff gave musical readings. Lola May Trimmer sang Sometime and Elaine Sweitzer gave a reading. Nuf sed. They are all famous. The Boys' Glee Club sang Princeton Loyalty and the Football Song. ln addition there was dancing and eats-those indispen- sable features to every party. All too soon the hours were danced away and the gayety died with an occasional burst of hilarity from some lingering group. Page Seventy sewn Crhe Tiqer The lDilcl Rose CAST OF CHARACTERS.

An endless round of festivities and a mad- dening procession of adoring debutantes, bothersome newspaper interviewers, charity and reform leaders seeking her financial support, and dressmakers, milliners, etc., drive her to distraction. Having achieved great success in society theatricals, she decides to go on the stage, and is desirous of obtain- ing the leading role in a play by Lady Grey, an eccentric woman playwright. Much to her amazement and disappointment, Lady Grey flatly refuses to con- sider her for the part, and will not even grant her an interview, thinking her far too frivolous for the work. ln utter disgust she decides to leave the city surroundings which have become so hateful and go to the country under an assumed name. The second act takes place at her country establishment, where, thoroughly enjoying the simple life, she succeeds in outwitting an uninvited and undesired throng of city admirers, who have traced her to her country home and come to pay her adulation. Meanwhile she makes friends with a nice old country lady who lives next door and who turns out to be Lady Grey. When the latter discovers the true identity of Rose, she promises her the desired role in the play and all ends happily. Page Seventy-eight mm Cfhe Tiqer ---pr Juniorf'Senior Pdrtq To have a party or a banquet: that is the question: whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the agonies of a dress suit and a collar-oh, so stiff, or to revolt against formalities and have a party. To have a banquet and oh- horrors, which fork shall l use,-ay there's the rubg for all that array of silver- ware must give us pause. Who would bear that awkward feeling, that uncom- fortableness of a tuxedo when he might by a mere majority vote of the class, have an informal party when all its joy and at homenessn feeling? Let's have a party. Bracllcq Qlee Club On April 5, the Men's Glee Club from the Bradley Polytechnic Institute gave a concert in the Methodist Church. The Club was sponsored by the Athletic Association, which has been putting on similar programs for the last two years. The program was an excellent one, many of the numbers being taken from operas. The program was completed with several college songs, among which was the Bradley Alma Mater. There were twenty-four boys in the Club and they sang their Alma Mater with feeling and expression. The Club left here for Galesburg where they sang before Knox College. The Football Banquet The Knights of the Gridiron do not go unrewarded, as some people might think. If a reward for one's athletic labors makes him a professional, then P. H. S. has her share. After enjoying a successful football season the faculty thought it only logical that the boys should enjoy a real meal pre- pared by none other than the faculty themselves. To start the evening off right the squad elected Earl Lewis captain for next year. With this duty done the doors were swung wicle open and the game started. After eating everything but the flowers, the diners sat back and heard Coach Nance, Mr. Fleming, Mr. Shaffer, Mayor Gunning, Reverend Acheson and Earl Lewis expound their views of football. To conclude the banquet there came a speaker whom the boys were fortunate to hear, Mr. C. W. Whitten, Manager of the Illinois Athletic Association. Mr. Whitten gave a very interesting as well as instructive talk on athletics. Thus ended the faculty's most successful enterprise of the year.

Our New School Building UR NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING, upon which work was begun about a year ago, will be ready for occupancy in September. The spacious cam- pus with its graceful trees greatly add to the beauty of the building itself. The building, which is Tudor-Gothic in style, shows that a careful study has been made to give a dignified appearance, commensurate with the educa- tional standards of today. Around the edge of the roof is a stone coping, and an ornamental tower crowns the building. On the first Hoor are the large Home Economics laboratories in connec- tion with a cafeteria. It is estimated that one hundred and twenty-five peo- ple may be served at one time in this room. On the second floor is the spa- cious auditorium with a balcony, where an audience of one thousand people can be accommodated. Directly opposite the auditorium is the gymnasium which has maple floors and cream-colored brick walls. It contains bleachers and in all respects is equipped in modern fashion. It is an adjunct to the building of which Princeton students may be justly proud. A novel part of the building is the little theatre on the third floor. ln addition to the regular commercial rooms is a model office where the com- mercial students may receive practical training in their line of work. Five laboratories with splendid equipment furnish ample means for ex- perimentation while a conservatory off the biology laboratory not only beautifies the building but affords more privileges to the fortunate students of Princeton. One very important laboratory has been provided for the teaching of a practical course in farm mechanics. The class-rooms are large and delightful and should in themselves inspire the student to better things. Page Eighty-one mmn-1 m Cl' he Tiqer E The campus east of the building will be the scene of many a test of brawn, for the football boys will not fail to make use of this field. The building is a gateway to knowledge, a citadel of learning, for which we should be truly grateful, for it is of a kind that makes for well-rounded development, for better purposes and hopes. It is an inspiration to better things, a landmark of beauty, the center of Princeton's educational oppor- tunities. Gi-96119 Q lDho's who in P. H. S.

In the MARY month of MAY a motley company, including a PIPER, a MILLER, a SMITH, and a SMALL PRINCE who rakishly wore his CROWNOVER one ear lest it rub the HARRAUFF his head, set out on a pilgrimage. Now they had no ELIZABETH so they started out to WALKER. The weather was FERRIS can be, though the wind was from the NORTH. Since the PRINCE was a MEAR CHILD, the SMITH, a LONG- MAN with a heart of STEELE offered to CAREY him. They walked many MILES until they were far from their HOMES. Then said the PIPER, OMEN, in the GLEN I see a MARTIN as BLACK as COLE. IONA bow and arrow, for I am a BOWMAN. I will HUNT it. But the MILLER saw only a field near by and said, You SAPP, do you not see the HAYStack? But the PIPER said, It is BESTE not to venture forth. for over the GREENWALL of hills is a LEE and thereon a ram that BUTTS. Let us go to the river with its RILEY waters for on its banks is seated a FISHER. Let us eat the FINN creatures. As they had no OTTO. they did not need to PARKER, but the MILLER put on his HATTEN walked straight to an ELDER tree. After PIHLing the tree of its NEWBERRYS he forthwith ate a GROSS and said he was FULLER. There happened along a DREMAN who offered to take them over a huge SANDBERG. He was PADEN he took them to the TOWNSEND where they neared a GLEN in which grew DAISYS and FERNS while WHITE VIOLETS appeared at the foot of the HAZEL tree already in BUD. Suddenly a RUSSELL was heard and a light RAPP was felt on the shoulder of the BOWMAN. Looking about he saw a BROWN WOLF. His cheeks BLANCHECI at the sight, and the DREMAN thinking he should WARREN him said, Never fear, there is a tree near by. I'lI TRIMMER of her boughs and then the WOLF will be as meek as a LAMB.

He directed them to an ABBOT, saying, While the WETHER- HOLDS fair you must visit the monastery. You must be hungry. The ABBOT has a PANNEB-AKER and he will bake you some GRAHAM muf- fins. He looked EARNEST and the company had FAITH in him. As they approached the monastery they were welcomed by the DEAN who entertained them in hearty fashion. The ABBOT called his BRUER to talk to him privately. Soon the latter was seen to SIDLE up to the cellar door, and coming back he slipped the pilgrims a KASBEER to cheer them on their way. Whereupon they left for their various HOMES ,a MARY company withal. P,f.!Eltf Crhe Tiger Quips and Quirks HEARD IN ENGLISH CLASS. What were some of Milton's troubles?
