Therefore, be it resolved, that we, the Students and Faculty of Rnshville High School hereby express our grief and sorrow because of his untimely death: and Be it resolved, that we wish to extend our sympathy to his bereaved family in their great sorrowg and llc it resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family, a copy put in the High School Annual and in the High School Records, and a copy furnished to each of the county papers for pub- lication. Cc JMMITTEE. EIGHT W---sa -+- I 1' Uhr Be-Erhn Rushx7ille High School Creed I believe in the Rushville High School of Rushville, Illinois, as a high school of the Students, by the Students, for the Students: whose just powers are derived from the consent of'the Studentsg a democracy in a high school: an independent high school with many independent activities: a perfect, harmonious high school, one and inseparable, established upon the principles of good will, equality, justice and good sportsmanship, for which high school students and teachers have given and will continue to give their Nall in service and loyalty for the honor of the high school. I therefore believe it isrmy duty to my high school to love it: to obey its laws: to respect its colorsg and to defend it against all enemies. 1924 NINE Is 'I ' I I -13 mm ,-WQWEW '99 ,?'1'9' 4 any up-team 'Evolution of R. H. S. Some scientists tell us that the high type of humanity that exists today is the result of gradual evolution of the lower orders of life. lie that as it may, the history of the Rushville Public School reveals that our splendid High School of today is the steady development from small beginnings. The first school taught in the country was at the private home of one of the carly pioneers, Calvin Hobart, in the winter of 1823-1824, just a century ago. XVIII. H. Taylor was the teacher, and the school numbered less than ten pupils. In the twenty-five: years little progress had been made. At that time teachers were paid by the parents, school held in one room log cabins, the only furniture the teacher's desk, rude seats fashioned from slabs of logs, gourds for drinking cups, and a rod. Text books were few, one Reader or Arithmetic did duty through a family of eight or ten children. Children went to school in jeans and linsey, the boys wearing buck-skin pantaloons and coon-skin caps. The first school building in Rushville was erected in the early thirties, on the present site of the Christian Church, and was a small, one-story brick house. In the winter of 1837-1838 a school was taught in the attic of the old Methodist Church now the A. J. Lashmett building, and it was used continuously for school purposes for some years. ln 1845 the present site of the NVebster School was purchased by a number of citizens and a two-story brick building, called The Seminary was erected and operated as a private school. That was a long stride in the evolution. Interesting though it be, nor time nor space permits details of this develop- ment. In 1869-Hfty-live years ago-the Rushville Union School District was formed, and granted a special charter by the Illinois Legislature. A Board of Education was elected, consisting of live members, who in 1870 erected a three- story brick building on the site of the old Seminary which building was des- troyed by iire in 1893 and succeeded by the present Webster building. The Rushville Union School was graded by J. F. Gowdy in 1869 and the Rushville High School came into being, graduating its iirst class in 1876. So rapid was the expansion, so increased the demand for more room and better equipment that in 1916 our present High School building was erecied. and the school brought to its present standard of excellence. Under our efficient and loyal Supt, Smith, and his able coadjutors the grand work of developing a loyal student body into earnest, aggressive citizenry moves on. 1924 4, 5 TEN DnHDHEHH J 5 4 I .2 W, Board of Education il.

Senior A Class Histo-ry In the beginning, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred twenty, in the ninth month, and on the sixth day of the month, there entered into a certain Land of Learning what is known as Rushville High, a hundred seekers of knowledge, Some came from the Webster eighth grade, where for many months they had been storing their minds with the honey of wisdom, some were fresh and green from the country, and some were from other halls of learning. ' And it came to pass. as they entered this land, that they were received with outstretched. welcoming arms by those who. it was decreed should henceforth lead them up the slippery path of knowledge. . Likewise it came to pass, that they were received with malicious glee by a certain band of wild beings who were called Sophomores, and who, together with the Juniors and Seniors. did cause them to suffer great things, especially-at the Get-Acquainted-Party, which was given in honor of the- Freshmen. .- And as they dwelt long in the land their strangeness wore away, and they each became as one among the rest. The Rulers of the Land appointed as Advisers fora this new Class, Miss Bagby, Miss Moore, and Miss Taylor. Also they chose from their own number as president, Kerchival Dean, and they called themselves the Class of Twenty-four. As the months passed the Class, for various reasons, decreased in number. Yet this first year was very successful, and it was fittingly closed by a Class Picnic in Tomlinson's Grove one May afternoon. Now it came to pass that at the beginning of the second year with the New Powers, Mr. R. G. Smith and C. D. Howk. a New Order was brought to pass. The Athletic Asso- ciation. the Board of Control. and the two Literary Societies were organized in which the Sophomores took an active part. . This year the advisers were Miss Bagby, Miss Taylor and Mr. Pinkerton. Again the Class chose Kerchival Dean as President. ' Q E t And it .came to pass that in the Inter-class track meet on the Webster Field the Sopho- more WVKTFIOYS were surpassed by the mighty Seniors alone. Thus, with work and pleasure ended another year. Now another began, and the Class of Four-and-twenty were Juniors. Again Miss Bagby, Miss Moore, Miss Cole and Mr. Pinkerton were its wise councilors, and again it chose its President of former years. 'And it came to pass that this ambitious Class cried, Lol if we are to set a standard for the classes that will follow, there is need of many dollars. So the Junior girls, with their own fair hands, and aided by the junior boys. made pom-poms and delicious candy. which they did sell at football games. Also they produced a very successful play, The Fortune Hunter. . The Class was also a success. socially. It entertained the High School at the Junior Prom, and the Seniors at a magnificent banquet. The Seniors reciprocated at a delightful Lawn Party. And another year had passed. 3 Now this, the fourth year in the history of this great and wonderful Class of Four-and- twenty, has been one of much hard laborg for preparations have been making for them to take their Final departure from the land. Again it came to pass that their President was Kerchival Dean, and their Advisers were Miss Bagby, Miss Dyson, Mr. Smith and Mr. Howk. . During the year rings were purchased as a fitting badge of their station. The Seniors won the half-holiday for turning in the most money for the VVorkday and Market. And thus everything they did was a successg the Class Play, the Lawn Party, at which they entertained the Juniors, their Annual, their Class Day. n Then came Commencement. And now they must depart, to go each a separate way, to lands they know not of, to do, they know not what. 1 A K. V. O. x TWENTY-FIVE r- I any my-mn W -.f-- e- i Q--. . .5,,.,,- - - M Uhr Rr-iirhn 7 Senior Class Prophecy They had told me I must prophesy, But I knew not what to do. For I was not born a prophet Any more than one of you. I had spent the day in study, And in thinking, hard and deep, So I now, all worn and weary, Lay me down and fell asleep. I had lain there but a moment In that slumber, calm and sweet, When I rose, refreshed and strengthened, And stepped out upon the street, But I very soon discovered That I was in a strange place, For I saw not one known figure, Nor an old familiar face. I was in a mammoth city, By the side of which I knew That New York. the nation's glory, Would stand but a feeble show, Great sky scrapers all about me, Aeroplanes through all the air, Wonders far beyond conception, Here and there and everywhere! I could scarce believe my senses When I saw the airship line. Bore the well known name of Rusl1ville, VVhile the same gleamed from each sign, And my eyes were opened wider Than they'd ever been before, When I saw a slip of paper Dated 1944. While I puzzled o'er this problem, Staring round with open eyes, Looking for someone to question Of this marvelous surprise, I beheld near me a lady, Coming on with footsteps slow, And I thought I would accost her, And learn what I wished to know. As she came to be still nearer, I thought I had seen that face, Somewhere else, yet could not put it In exactly the right place, But at last she stood before me, And all wonder vanished quite, 'Twas my old friend Geneva Hodges, And I met her with delight. It was strange that I should know her, For the change in her was great, She was very tall and slender, While she moved with queenly state, She seemed quite surprised to see me, Said I had been long away, And gave me an invitation, To remain with her that day. Her kind offer I accepted, And she hailed a Hying-car, Which we boarded, skimming swiftly, Through the ether, fast and far, I watched the conductor closely- 'Twas a lady, short and stout, Fully able to assist the Passengers step in or out. As she took my fare she knew me, And stood pointing out strange sights- Florence Kelly thus had proven, Her belief in Woman's Rights! In the car a dude was sitting, Toying with a poodle small, VVhy, twas Paul Angell! I scarcely Would have known the man at all. Soon we fiitted past a corner That looked like old times to me, For it was the well-known corner Where our High School used to be. Now the place was changed to show a Factory, twenty stories high, And I noticed a small fish stand, There, as we were passing by. And behind the greasy counter, Stood a man I knew at sight, Yes, for it was Kerchival Dean, Shouting fish with all his might, I looked at him in wonder, For whoever would have thought That our old-time brilliant president Could to such a task be brought. But the whole day brought surprises, Marie was dancing on the stage, Juanita was an opera singer, Vic a preacher, quite the rage, Leroy a soldier, Cora, an author, Alice, an old maid prim and neat, Eleanor had grown so very heavy Anti-fat was all she'd eat. Soon we went into a hash-house, And lo! we did behold, Stirring pancakes with a spoon, Friend Loren, as of old. Beside him was Verlea, With rosy cheeks a-bloom, But alas! she made a mis-lick, And a dish she dropped with a boom. Then we went into a movie, i Ten cents was all they charged, And behind the ticket window, Was Edith, much enlarged. Then once inside, the ushers I knew almost at once, 'Twas Mary Dean and Helen Ward, And Dick, they said, ran an ambulance. TWENTY-SIX v v.,,M. . They knew lots of things, they did, And they to us did say, That Vernon was a diplomat and Mary drew the pay, Then we were amazed indeed, When Helen did sadly tell, That Howard was a fire chief And Gladys rang the bell. Then the organ began to play And much to our surprise, There flashed upon the silver Our Josephine with soulful eyes, The hero, he was Ralph, and the Villain, he was Doane, Lucy, the poor old mother, falls dead With an awful groan. sheet, Then we left that movie show, And circling 'bout the sky, NVe saw aloft, a Fresh Air School, Of those about to die. Amongst their frail and peaked faces, VVere Maxine Sebright, sad to tell, Merle and Gerald B. little cell. And Mabel, and Each in his , we hardly saw, , of wide renown, horse-shoes 'Way off so far A calaboose And in it, playing Were Reed and Robert Brown. And off afar, to the other side, Stood a nut-house. of which the q Was NVilma Eckroy, and in it, Were James Whitson and Pauline. H6611 Bye and bye we reached the home where 'Lizabeth lived-her husband, too, But he was a traveling salesman, So I didn't find out who! And Katherine she was a chauffeur, And Donna a dressmaker fine, Lois washed for a living- Margaret's the mother of nine. Uhr Rr-iErhn ----- -'-----' -1--gr Then my hostess told me, In accents sad and low, That Robert Brines and Russel B. Had dieduwhen Hildreth answered UNO I!! Nina, Clara, and Mary Fey Had moved away to good old Mars. And Wilma, Jennie and Lois G. Were happily married on other stars. Martha types for a merchant prince, Ruth sings and dances and plays the life Alline an actress, her heart's desire, And Maxine, poor kid, a farmer's wife. Geneva Ingles and Helen B. Both are doctors very great, And as for Gene, he sent for them, But they arrived too late. I was very tired and sleepy, , So I felt that it was best To withdraw myself a little For an hour or two of rest. I slept long and very soundly, And just judge of my surprise, When again, after my slumber, I opened my drowsy eyes. I found myself in the cottage I had lived in long ago, Ere I started out that morning On that curious quest to go. I sprang up and sought the window, Yes, it was the same old town, That, in what seemed years ago, I had wearily lain down: But the dream had been so life-like, That e'en yet I could not feel That the vision I had witnessed Could be otherwise than real. and classmates, So you see, dear friends, That 'twas nothing but a dream I've been telling, howe'e And real to you must seem: But in this old world of wonders. Dreams have often-times come true r natural, So, who knows but this, my vision, May be realized by you? S. F. G.

MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS, R. H. S. V TWENTY-NINE '-jfs. 5. g,. . ' A- Ti. 'n Uhr Rr-iirhn -------- -I . ., Seniorwatha CWith Apologies to Longfellowj In the Halls of Rushville High School. Round the shining fount of learning, Camp four mighty tribes of Hunters, Seekers after fame and knowledge. Four tribes yet bound by a common tie: The Loyalty to Rushville High And the colors held by all so dear, Royal purple and rich, old gold. First among these, highest, wisest, Stands thi mighty Senior tribe Luring on by great example All the younger braves and maidens, Of the tribes who are their neighbors. There are not fair maidens lacking, Senior tribe of '24. Deeds and prowess of your warriors Will be told forevermore. In the councils round the lampfires Hear the Junior wise men urging That their tribe keep clear,before them One ideal and one example: To be like the mighty Seniors. See the tribe of Sophomores, How they watch your every movement, Learning from your deeds and actions, How their tribe may grow as mighty. And the tiny tribe of Freshmen Watch with longing, wondering gazes, Dreaming of the time far distant When they, too, may be called Seniors, Fearful though that they can never Reach the standard which you've set them, Senior tribe of '24, Every spring when summer neareth, When the grass is fresh and green, When the flowers all are blooming, And the birds in the forests sing, Then must the greatest tribe depart To seek new fountains of learning, New works for its warriors and maidens. Leaving its place in Rushville High, To the strengthening junior tribe. Thus every year an old tribe goes, A new one joins the group of four, But always their ideal will be 'ATO be like the tribe of '24. Noble tribe of '24, Now, as you must break forever Many ties which you have loved, And go forth to make new interest, And to join a greater tribe, You cannot forget the old bonds, You can never fail the old ties. To the old ideals so lofty, You will ever remain loyal. Senior maidens, fair and loyal, Seniors warriors, brave and strong, Ever seeking new endeavors, - Never stooping to do wrong, You will always be remembered Round the campfires of the tribes Who will dwell in Rushville High School Mighty tribe of '24.

Secretary The energies of the junior Class this year, as in the past, were directed toward raising funds to finance the annual junior- Senior llanquet. To this end, the class produced a very clever play and followed this up with a junior Carnival, which proved to be a very successful means of raising money. The part of the Class of '25 in literary, athletics. and social activities, was performed creditably. as in former years.

The Freshmen were welcomed into the High School by a Get Acquainted party given by the three upper classes. In literary activities the class was represented creditably, in declamation by Geneva Cunningham, in vocal solo by Herna- dette llowman, and in piano solo by Irene Kelly. In athletics the Freshman girls' and boys, Basketball Teams, in spite of their lack of experience were well known for their good fighting spirit and for their real sense of sportsmanship. In addition to these our Class President. Sheila Preston, proved her loyalty to both the school and her class by winning the individual prize offered by the A. A. for earning the most money during the VVork XVeek. Thus from its prowess in scholarship and in activities, the Freshman Class has earned a well deserved place in the career of our High School.

Vice Presidevir GENEVA lNcLEs . . . ..,.. Secretary A. D. OZMENT .... . . . Treasurer The Rushville High School Athletic Association has existed for three years. It was organized for the purpose of giving the students a share in the management of the athleticsg to give the students a voting power regarding the expenditure of Athletic fundsg to promote at all times the interest of Athletics, good sportsmanship, and an enthusiastic school spirit. Three years have showed that the aims for which the associa- tion was organized have been realized to the fullest extent. A high school spirit has developed far beyond that which was fore- seen. This interest has been largely instrumental in making R. H. S. a school whose interests are akin to ours. It is the spirit which more than once has won victory from an almost inevitable defeat. The students have also taken much interest in the handling of the business of the association. They have become acquainted with the business end of their games. They know where and for what the money which they pay for tickets and dues is spent. A small monthly fee of Fifteen cents is charged to the mem- bers for dues. The greatest importance of the association is that it gives the students an insight into the more serious side of high school activities and gives them a chance to develop initiative in and responsibility for those activities. FORTY Uhr IK?-Erhn The Publicity Committee The l'ublicity Committee was organized in September of this year with Reed Henninger as its president and Geneva Ingles, its secretary. lt was formed primarily that it might assume the duty of advertising the activities of Rushyille High School throughout the neighboring communities. This committee consisted of fifteen students and Il member of its ability and has employed parades, posters, tags. and other methods to let the public know what was going on at R. H. S. 'llhis committee conisted of Fifteen students and a member of the faculty and at all times has co-operated with the school authorities and student body in giving as wide-spread publicity to our Schools activities as possible. The committee. no doubt, will he continued next year if its importance should warrant, in the eyes of the Board of Control, such a continued existence. FORTY-ONE one my-mn Captain Kirl-:ham VVhile Lyle has still another year for old R. H.

FORTY-SEVEN rm 'ff 1- -- Y' ' ,--mn ,. ,Km an me-team The Seasorfs Summary For the third consecutive time in as many seasons, the Rushville eleven was defeated only twice. Playing one of the hardest schedules ever attempted by a Purple and Gold eleven, the Rushville machine, flashing its scarlet tinted jerseys in the faces of eight teams, fought through another fall filled with success in practically every instance. ' Opening the season Coach McCreary's men met and triumphed over Canton, Stephens scoring a drop kick from the thirty yard line in the third quarter. With a week to bring about the desired improvement, the team drilled con- sistently and on the following Saturday were able to overthrow Colchester by a one-point lead. The battle was one of the most brilliant of the entire season, Rushville staging a great rally and winning by one point in the third and fourth quarters. Lyle grabbed a punt and ran eighty yards for the tying count and Stephens kicked the goal which won the game. In the wake of their downfall, on the following Saturday, Beardstown fell before the onslaught of the Rushville eleven. Qur team was somewhat dis- heartened on account of the loss of Stephens but the final count read, Rushville 30, Beardstown 3. The much touted team from Quincy invaded our field the week following. VV e proved to Quincy that although ours was a small school, we possessed a mighty team. Quincy failed to score until the third quarter after which we held them until the final count of 25-6. On the following Saturday Coach McCreary's crimson clad eleven journeyed to White Hall where they were rewarded by sixty minutes of the brand of football that is worthy only of teams of the championship class and the game was at least a moral victory for Coach McCreary and his men. Rushville held them to a 6-O score in their favor the first half, after which we came 'back and scored a touchdown by Bowers and a place kick. However, in the last four minutes of play White Hall scored a drop kick, this winning the game by a 9-7 score. When Cuba invaded Rushville we were sadly crippled, having. Utter, Stephens, and lflowers on the side lines, but the team fought with the same old spirit and came out on top by a 38-O score. As for Greenfield, they came, they saw, and they conquered. The gang lacked the fight which they had in the preceding game, but nevertheless, they showed Greenfield that it was no walk-away. The final count was 12-0 in favor of Greenfield. Roodhouse was the next opponent. In this game, we made up for all of the pep that we had lacked in the previous one. We won out by a score of 30-0. Coach McCreary honored eighteen athletes with letters for the season. The following men were rewarded for their invaluable service in guiding Rushville through its third season of more than unusual success: Capt. Kirkham, Angell, Heard, Bowers, L. Burnsides, R. Burnsides, Crandall, Henninger, B. Kirkham, Lawler, McCune, Parks, Rinehart, Sloan, Stephens, Trone, Utter. Of these eighteen, Angell, Beard, Bowers, R. Burnsides, Henninger, Lawler, Parks, Stephens, Trone, and Whitson will be absent when Coach McCreary calls the roll for l924. These men are certain to be missed during the 1924 season when R. H. S. takes the field against such worthy opponents as White Hall, Canton, Industry, Macomb, Beardstown. Greenfield, and Roodhouse.

Their team will score against us Before the whistle blows, Oh, surely our team will save us, For we must defeat our foes. The enemy has the pigskin, Each follows the ball with his eye. Oh, who can stop that winning team And save old Rushville High! Rushville has the ball now, The watching students cheer. Oh, surely we'll make a touchdown And win the best game of the year. The enemy's team is fighting hard, It seems we cannot score. Our team now hears the cheering, They are gaining more and more. And now with shouts and clapping, And noise of cheering loud, Lyle crosses the goal with the ball, Followed by the joyous crowd. M. U. FORTY NINE Uhr JKP-Erhn Captain parks Une who helped put extra pep and tight into Rushvillffs teznn this year, was Captain Loren Parks. His iine defensive work, together with his fast Fluor work and keen for the basket, have placed him in the list of Rushville's tighting stars.

Jimmie and Lyle were our particular stars that night. The next night the team went up against our World famous faculty team, but after a few minutes the team proved that youth could triumph over age with ease. On the following Friday night after having had about two weeks of good hard practice we were pitted against Mt. Sterling. However, the team still had the old spirit of do or die and won out in the end 23-8. The next week we took Ipava into our camp very easily 27-18. Then came Good Hope. The fighting blood of the team was up at the climax because of the fact that the team from G. H. was coached by a former R. H. S. student. The team fought hard and in the end the score was in our favor, 25-18. - During the Christmas vacation the team yearned for action and they took on the alumni. But again youth conquered. The first game after the holidays was with Avon at Avon. The team was about half scared, this being our first out of town game. R. H. S. was very easily defeated by the score of 48-8. Our team made this a two-day trip and on the way back was defeated by Cuba 17-5. Please someone kill the jinx. . On the next Friday night the game was at home. The team battled against Lewistown and with Stephens back in the game defeated them 22-17. The next night, Waverly, the team that defeated us one point last year, was taken into camp by the score of 25-18. The object was to get as many tournament winners on our schedule this year as possible and Quincy being one, we trained hard and long for the next week. But all in vain. The jinx! The final score was 24-23. On the next Friday night we journeyed to Beardstown, taking along 'the second team. VVe played the first team the first half and then ran in the seconds and they scored even more points than did the firsts. The Beardstown team was defeated by a score of 35-8. On the following Saturday we were again to be put up against a tournament winner. But we were willing and eager and held them up until the last quarter when they broke loose and the final score was 32-16. Losing to Canton meant that the team had lost to two Fulton County teams. But the next Friday night we avenged one defeat by beating Cuba 22-20. Steve broke through their defense in the last minute and made the winning basket. FIFTY-TWO -W-X sgfr1 r'wvafq:,:f 7- - ' 1 ,r:a1W.jNg7fi!e g 'i an me-asm -- - It seemed as though all the best teams came at one time. Chandlerville came next. We fought and fought hard and in the end the best team won. 30-21 was the Final score in our favor. The next night we were defeated by Avon by a score of 26-11. Avon has our goat, but it seems as though they have everyone's goat. Then we went to Waverly and the team thought they had a snap, but it proved different. The final score being 19-S in their favor. This was the time Utter used his ears to listen to the music and to the pep of that particular school. We next went up against Versailles. They travelled all the way in the mud and were very tired but we didn't use any discretion and defeated them ZZ-18. Then came that long game. This was the first five quarter game played this year and Industry triumphed over us. This being our last game at home, the team made ready for the tournament at jacksonville. Our lirst game was with White Hall and as the team was not used to such large crowds, the boys were inclined to be somewhat frightened. And they didn't get going until the third and fourth quarters. This ends one of the most interesting and prohtable seasons of basketball that R. H. S. has ever witnessed. VVe lose two men by graduation and one by ineligibility. Steve and Parks being the ones to graduate and Lyle being the ineligible one. But with a 'brighter prospect for next season we bid adieu to the season of 1923-24. The IQD4 scheauley f December 7 ....

On May 16, Rushville High has its first annual invitation meet, in which the following schools will compete: Ipava, Beardstown, Chapin, Chandlerville, Bardolph, Rush- ville, Colchester, Vermont and Astoria. We expect to keep the medals, Relay Cup, and banner in our own halls, if hard work and persistence will get it. So get behind and push, everyone. Here goes!

Due to her encorts and persistence, the girls, basketball, base- ball. track and gym work was devel- oped to a high degree of efficiency. Girls, Physical Training A department of our school which has been developed in the last few years, until it is far from the least in order of importance, is the Department of Physical Training for girls. It tends to develop clear minds, healthy bodies, and a wholesome regard for clean sportsmanship. llaseball, basketball, track, volley ball, calisthenics, and other activities and games are among those given to develop both mind and body, under the direction of Miss Rodewald. The results of the work are shown annually in the Girls' Gymnasium Exhibition. These are looked forward to each year, with keen anticipation by the townspeople and from these we learn very early the value of Physical Training for girls. FIFTY-EIGHT mm Uhr iliriirlin 'P' 'S' Girls, Basket Ball The 1925-2-l season found a very great interest manifested in the High School Ilaslqetball for girls. For the past two years letters have been awarded to the all-star team in girls' basketball. The class teams were picked by Miss Rodewald, and a very keen spirit for winning was the stimulus of every player. The team which won the most games this year was that of the Sophomores. Most of the games played served as preliminaries to the High School games. To Miss Rodewald belongs the credit for fur- thering the development of this branch of our athletics for girls. The seasons games resulted in the selection of the following all-star team: Center. . . .... Miriam lisslinger Guards jlsouise lirown llileanor Robeson .UlMelba Long F ' ls. . . , Ummm ZH1ldre.h Crawford FIFTY-NlNE Uhr lie-Erhn Physical Training for ' Boys .Xll boys of the lligh School are required to take regular classwork in physical training, unless excused by a doctor's certificate, or unless they are members of regular athletic teams. This year nearly seventy boys were in these classes which meet three days each week. The fundamental objective of this vvork is to increase the physical vigor of the whole group of boys: the realization has come that this vigor resides not in a few highly trained, athletic individuals, but in the health, physical versatility, and stamina of the whole group, and that whatever makes for health and physical vigor makes also for moral rectitude, and intellectual efficiency. W'ith these objectives foremost, the work of the department has been along five lines or methods: l. Calisthenics. 4. .Xthletic training 2. Competitive games. 5. llhysical examinations, inspec- 3. Group or team games. tions and health talks. The calisthenic drill has six distinct benefits to offer the exerciser. It is hygienic. and postural. It developes strength and gives disciplinary training. lt produces suppleness and general agility. The competitive games with their spirit of individual rivalry, are especially beneficial in the development of self- reliance and good sportsmanship. Group games are recreational and teach co- operation. Athletic training gives an insight and appreciation of the skill involved in the various athletic events. The examinations, inspections, and health talks stimulate care and pride in a well developed, efticient body. It was found this year that few boys possess a perfect body. Physical training is being emphasized in the schools of today. It is realized that it is better to prevent than to cure. OUR PEPSTER The Clive 'em all you've gotu spirit that made our athletic season so successful was manifested in the line yelling which prevailed throughout the year. Bob Keeling was at the head of this by no means unimportant activity and when he hopped out on the floor for a lusty UFight. Team, Fight, he was backed by all the team support and school spirit that the student body was able to muster. When things looked had for the Purple and Gold and the score was upside down. then it was that Bob was afire with new determfnation to elicit punch and, need- less to say, produced an organized and effective response, He was ably assisted by James Lashmett and Fred Harvey who undoubtedly will be back next year.

Freshman The Student-Faculty Council was organized in September, 1922, and has functioned successfully in the Rushville High School since that time, a period of three school terms. The Council is a body truly representative of the High School, and assumes in a business-like way the responsibility of assisting in planning the work of the extra-curriculum activities of the school. The Student-Faculty Council devised and put into operation a financial bud- get, which has taken care of all expenses pertaining to all the extra-curriculum activities of the school. This budget called for about three thousand dollars. This amount was raised by the students, and all activities of the school have been financed successfully. The athletic activities such as football, basketball, track and field, and various interclass games, together with the contests in music and literary work. have been well looked after, and never in the history of the school has there been greater interest shown and more enthusiasm displayed than has been manifested during the school year of 1923-1924. The Council not only has functioned in the interest of the various school activities, but has cooperated with the school administration in matters of dis- cipline. .-Xt no time during the school year has it failed to express itself force- fully when matters have arisen that might affect the Honor of the School. llecause of the faithful cooperation of the student and faculty members, there has grown up in the school a spirit of Loyalty that makes possible the fine. progressive school that we have. 1924 SIXTY-ONE 2 IKP-iirhn SQXTY-TWO - ,Eyre f-4-- fm--un-rf 4- The SARAH QERAFF ....

ROBERT VVORK The purpose of the High School Editorial Staff has been to give to the public the weekly news of the high school. It explains various lines of school activities, especially those of football, basketball, track and the literary events. The Committee has intended to furnish to the county papers news that would interest those connected with the school, the parents and the public in general. On Monday Of each week, the respective work of each member of the Com- mittee was given to the Faculty Censor, by whom it was reviewed. Then after being typewritten it was made ready for delivery to each of the county papers. Each member of the stall receives credit according to the amount of work done. At the close of the year each will receive an honorary letter. This work was very interesting, as it gave the members a great deal of practice that in the future may prove valuable to them in broader tields of newspaper work.

GRAY The members of the Analotos Literary Society held eight regular society programs during the school year. The programs given were interesting and instructive, and consisted of clever farces. lively debates, humorous impersonations, various types of readings, extempore speeches, reports, vocal and instrumental numbers. These programs developed material for the Annual Inter-Society Debate and Contest which was held on Friday evening, March twenty-first. It was on the regular society programs that the Analotos debaters gained experience and confidence in the art of debate and made victory possible for the Society' later. The climax of the Analotos Society's work was in the lnter-Society Debate and Contest. This event took place in the High School Gymnasium on the night of March twenty-first. The .-Xnalotos members, under the leadership of Robert Keeling and Fred Harvey, cheered lustily for the contestants.

There are two regular courses in music for which the pupil receives credit towards graduation, and there are also boys' and girls' glee clubs and an orchestra. The Girls' Glee Club in High School is composed of about eighty members who meet twice a week. The Boys, Glee Club is composed of about thirty members who meet weekly. An operetta, The Love Pirates of Hawaiif, was given by both glee clubs combined, and was an added incentive for work as well as a decided success. Much talent was displayed along dramatic as well as along musical lines. Although it proved to be an entertainment affording much amusement to all present, many people commented on the unusual musical talent displayed throughout, and also on the excellent coaching done by the musical supervisor, Miss Anna Knowles. The different characters well represented their parts and showed the wise choice of the instructor. An interesting feature of the school year has been the orchestra. It was organized at the beginning of the year and disclosed a great deal of new talent. It is composed of about ten players who have entertained at Parent-Teacher meetings, at the junior and Senior plays, at the operetta, and at literary society programs. Its music has been appreciated by all who have heard it. The time spent in orchestra practice afforded the members amusement as well as worth-while instruction. The Music Department has done a great deal in furnishing musical enter- tainment at the various social functions of the school, and often has furnished music for public entertainments other than those of the school. , Q 2 Rl .ix 'Xa A gi ya X 5 1' 'so 5 ,Hx is 's NVQ.

SEVENTY-ONE amp rural-hu Get-Acquaintecl Party On Friday evening, Sept. 26, the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores gave the Freshmen their annual get-acquainted party. All met in the Assembly and partners were chosen for the grand march, which was led by Mary Unger and Sheldon Davis. The Freshmen marched around the gym. shaking hands with everyone present and demon- strating the fact that they were the youngest and greenest members of the High School. Next, games were played and programs were distributed for the talk dance which followed. Each class then showed its originality by pulling off a clever stunt, and after refreshments were served, hoth hosts and guests departed, feeling that their acquaintance could have been advanced in no more agreeable way. Halloweien Party On Nyednesday CVC1llIlg, the 29th of Oct. the girls of R. H. S. gave the boys a Hallowe'en party. Everybody arrived on time or later, and joined in the grand march to the gym, where every character from ghost to goblin and from gypsy to circus rider was represented. During the grand march the judges selected the best masked couple, wlnch proved to be Kerchival Dean and Paul Brines. After this everybody unmasked. 1 The supernatural element was supplied by the Chamber of Horrors, which was very hor- rible indeed containing such weird figures as Blue Beard's Wives. After everyone shook hands with the skeleton they made a hasty exit, overcome with fear and trembllng. After enjoying many games, delightful refreshments of pumpkin pie and whipped cream were served, wh'ch concluded the evening of frolic and fun. .ak Junior-Senior Banquet The animal junior-Senior banquet was held on Thursday evening May 8, at the Virginia.

Harold Pelton built and exhibited the house shown above. It was built on a three-fourths scaleg that is, three-fourths of an inch represents a foot. The house took third prize. Manual Training is helping to train the Fingers of the skilled Workman of tomorrow. The clumsy fingers of the adult can never be trained to do as skilled work as the lingers of the adult that were trained in youth. Manual Training is now recognized as one of the subjects necessary to a good education. It does not train for a specific vocation as carpentering, cabinet making or drafting. It is intended to educate the hand: it is intended to give an insight into industrial life, it is intended to develop an appreciation of art and workmanship. Since it does not train for one specific vocation it cannot qualify under the Smith-Hughes law, and the school cannot receive part of the teacher's salary from the state. There are three types of Manual Arts : expressional, appreciational and in- dustrial. By expressional we mean giving a pupil a chance to express his ideas in a concrete material. Appreciational helps him to appreciate art and workman- ship. Appreciation of the good leads toward virtue. Appreciation of the beau- tiful gives pleasure and encourages artistic production. .Appreciation of good craftsmanship leads to more care, more skill, and better production and so is valuable educationally and vocationally. The industrial takes up the study of materials and processes of construction. 1924 SEVENTY-FOUR ' f--if 'rye-K 1'-3.3,-1:-v.-rf f ut-1.3. our my-rsfhn Commercial Department .The Commercial Department gives the student a better view, a closer contact with the business world, establishes self-confidence and other traits of character that are valuable assets. Stenography, when properly taught and thoroughly mastered, has even greater value, considered from a purely educational standpoint. To become even a moderately successful stenographer one must have training along several lines, each of which has large educational value. These are as follows: CU It compels one to think quickly and accurately. C21 The scientific study and practice of stenography compels the development of greater ability to hear things accurately. The inability of the average high school and college student to hear all that he should hear and hear it accurately is really appalling. Stenography, more than any other study, will very largely overcome this almost universal weakness, Q35 Mastering the technic of memorizing is an especially important feature which results from the thorough training of this subject. I do not know of any other subject which affords an equally valuable and specific training. f4J The most important men1al training resulting directly from this study is the development of ability to concentrate the whole mind upon the work in hand. Since the study of stenography is especially valuable in developing such power, it seems that there should be no question as to the advisability of introducing this subject in every high school, not only as a part of the commercial course, but also as a regularly disciplinary study. The value of bookkeeping training must be judged from two standpoints, educational and vocational. It is doubtful whether any subject can be allowed a place in the school curriculum solely on a vocational basis. It must also possess educational value in large measure. If prop- erly presented, bookkeeping has a distinct educational value, and will develop the student's reasoning powers in regard to business affairs, because bookkeeping is applied economics. It is vocational only because of its subject matter. It is intensely practical, but that instead of detracting from its educational value, should enlarge it because of the element of interest involved. This interest is too often killed by the mechanical methods used in teaching the sub- ject. Not the recording, but the effect of a business transaction on the financial affairs of a business should be emphasized. The record-making, while important, is only incidental. The real educational value of bookkeeping comes from the development of the student's ability to form correct judgments as to the financial effect of the operations of a business unit. This, the management viewpoint, is the important thing for the student's future growth. In presenting the study of Commercial Law it is not with the idea of laying a foundation for the future study of law, but to give the student a working knowledge of the fundamental principles of law affecting business transactions and relations. Only one semester is given to this work which necessitates special stress being put upon the more fundamental chapters such as Contracts. Agency, Partnership, Negotiable Instruments, etc. The Home Economics Department The Home Economics Department of our high school is a growing department, It has a larger enrollment this year than ever before. The courses in both Foods and Clothing are made as practical as possible that the student may derive the utmost benefit from them. In both courses three eighty-minute periods and two forty-minute periods a week are devoted to the w.ork. The Project Plan is in use through- out the courses. In Foods, five Projects, namely, Food Preservation, The Breakfast, The Dinner, The Supper, and Invalid Cookery, have been completed during the year. Each project involves many problems, such as the study and preparation of suitable foodstuffs, the food value, digestion, sources, and preparation for the market of these foods, and suitable combinations of foods. Table service and table manners are discussed and practiced. At the close of a Meal Project, a meal is prepared and served by one group to another. The clothing classes make a study of the four main textile fibers, their characteristics, properties, and adulteration. Textile testing, for the purpose of determining adulteration. complete this study. The girl is thus enabled to buy textiles more intelligently. A brief study of Costume Design gives the girl a basis for a more enlightened and intelligent choice of her clothing as to lines and color. The fundamental constructive processes of sewing are taught by direct application to the garments. Some of the simplest embroidery stitches are also practiced. The earliest garments made are quite simple. By the end of the year the girl is able to make her own simple dresses. To affiliate more closely the Home and the School, the Home Project Credit System has been adopted this year. With this plan, definite home work is assigned by the instructor. This work must be completed sucessfully by the girl herself. A definite amount of credit is given for each project. The girl must earn twentyg credits in this manner before she can receive any credit for a semester of either Foods or Clothing. SEVENTY-FIVE A vw-1 r'cs i': Uh? RP-Efhll J Abraham Lincoln If any one of the few names which stand highest in American history and in the hearts of the American people is more loved, more honored, or more revered than another. that one is the name of Abraham Lincoln. As each great man is remembered by his fellowmen for some trait or deed, so Abraham Lincoln stands to the American people for all those qualities which are noblest and best, and which they like to think of as truly American. As the years pass, in their attempt to do honor to the memory of this great man. men have given to Abraham Lincoln a position apart from all other men and their deeds. This is only the result of the increasing love and honor of each year for this man. But in doing this they wrong him greatly. Although Lincoln lived on a higher plane than his fellows, yet humanity and sympathy are two of his greatest characteristics. He was always simply a brother to mankind. He had the power to inspire confidence in others, and was the recipient of everyone's confidence, yet he rarely gave his own in return. He was always willing to help wherever he was needed, but was rather slow to volunteer. People often took his dignihed composure for indifference. V Many Americans like to think of their great countryman as Honest Abe, the name which the neighbors and friends of his youth gave him. He retained this characteristic of honesty throughout life, often to the great scorn of his political friends. He learned money values during the hardships of his youth. He was always careful with money, especially that which belonged to someone else, although he was very generous with his own. I Abraham Lincoln was able and willing to sympathize with people of all classes. He found it very difficult to refuse to aid those in trouble, and especially women, even when he knew that he should not. There was in this tall, awkward man, who was usually shy when in the presence of women, a gallantry and courtesy which would at fimes have pressed Chesterfield hard. When he did find it necessary to refuse a request he usually did it in such a way and with so much gentleness that there were no hard feelings on either side. If Abraham Lincoln's education had ended with his school days, the world probably would never have heard of him. He himself said that he spent altogether less than six months in school. But his education was going on through every day of his life. This was due to that rare characteristic which he possessed of disciplining his will and intellect to do those things which he knew he should do. The ideal moral standard in civilized countries is the life of Christ. No human has ever reached this standard and perhaps, no man ever can reach it. But, surely, this man who passed through every stage of his career, from laboring man to ruler with almost dictatorial ideal of right, who in the midst of the strife felt no bitterness toward his enemies, who felt only love and spirit of brotherhood for the whole world, has come as near that standard as any man in either private or public life. The predominating characteristics of Abraham Lincoln were his great power of reason, his conscience, his understanding, his sense of right and equity, his love for his fellowmen, and his respect for the true and good. If any man can be called truly universal, that man is Abraham Lincoln. America can no longer claim him as hers alone, for that man who freed a people from bondage and preserved a great united nation can belong to no one country or age, but to all nations and all times.

WORDS OF WISDOM I see Miss Elliott has taken a stand to shield her flapper friends. I, as a boy of seventeen and a Senior in high school, feel that her questions are not as difficult as our editor seems to think. Psychology shows that monkeys have a love for bright, gaudy- colored things. If you will notice the fel- lows that are attracted by sign board faces and ratted bobbed hair, you will see that they are not up to standard in common sense. Statistics show that only two men out of 100 are up to standard, but sensible boys are in such minority that they wouldn't be much force when it comes to stamping out this usign board epidemic. In schools-city. country or village-the general type of girl that paints her face and uses lip stick is usually the cheapest sort of girl in the community. Girls that are well educated. well bred and come from the better' class of people, whether wealthy or not, seldom use more than a mild touch of lifyvder on their noses to take off the s .n1f.' As to the marriage question, I don't pre- tend to answer that part, for I'm only young and green. But I'm not a coward and Ill sign my name, so if the women want the last word they'll have to come back again. for l'm a he-man and interested. JAMES HARDING WHITSON. What becomes of the righteous?
