SMITH Superintendent of Schools To Mr. Smith, more than to anyone else, do we extend the credit for this successful school year. His willing- ness to consider all matters however trivial, his enterprising spirit, and his faithful work have greatly aided the high school. Efficient in aclministrw- tion, impartial in judgment, sincerely interested in the progress and will- heing of all the pupils. he is a valuable friend of the entire school. WILMA DEGITZ Office Secretary When no one else knows, we Say, Ask Wilma. Her patience seems endless while we make dozens of in- quiries concerning this and that about the school. Her readiness to help and her interest in others have Won for her the respect and admiration of the student body and faculty. Re-Echo I FACULTY THOS. B.

Years spent in work and dreaming Can we fulfill those dreams? Four years we've played together In clean and wholesome play, Now must we drop our playthings And seek a harder way? We know not where it leads us, Along what thorny course, What hardships may confront us, What sorrows or remorse. But may we go on working And dreaming worth-while dreams Life's just a grown-up playhouse, That's full of grown-up dreams. -Audrey M. Kinsey 8 Re-Echo SlENlOlR CLASS OFFICERS President . . .

Schmitt Advisers - Miss Roe, Mr. Smith, Mr. Houston, Mr. Schmitt Senior Memories How filled with priceless memories is our Treasure Chest, class of 1932,-treas- ures forever locked in our hearts and minds. Let us open the massive chest and gaze upon its glittering jewels and yellow coins. There we see that immense, but uncut diamond, the famous Freshman Class. How proud we were when, only four years ago, we acquired that bulky gem, and what hopes we had for its future glory. Now as we look upon the stone again, we are satis- fied that our hopes were realized. There, too, lies that fiery stone, that ruby Sophomore Class. It is smaller than the uncut diamond but glows more brilliantly. And there is that priceless pearl Junior Class, surrounded by those equally precious gems Kempy and the Junior-Senior Banquet. How proud we are of those three. Look! there lies the greatest of them all, the brilliant, sparkling diamond Senior Class. Grouped around it in matchless splendor are these jewels- Second-Story Peggy, Senior Class Picnic, Class Day, Baccalaureate, Senior-Junior Reception, and last of all, Commencement Besides these, the chest is filled with other jewels and golden coins, accumulated while we were collecting the ones previously mentioned. These treasures are the friends we have made and the knowledge we have found during our high school days. -M.1-1.w. 9 Re- Echo MAURACE H.

WELLS. 20 ' sling Re-Echo SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY 1 One night, while we were on a summer's cruise to Europe, our steamer was overtaken by a most extraordinary pirate ship. We were forced to go on board this vessel after a lengthy and vehement protest on our part. After traveling for several hours we reached land which, to our amazement, was christened Treasure Island. The inhabitants of this island were further advanced in civilization than we. Everywhere were evidences of progress that far surpassed anything we had ever seen. Our captors unearthed a Treasure Chest containing many strange and myster- ious articles. Among these were some futuristic looking capsules which we were forced to take much against our will. Immediately we were conscious of a most peculiar sensation of being lifted and carried forward, not physically, but mentally on the wings of thought. The beautiful island scenery before us became a changing panorama of places and people. After our bewilderment had abated somewhat, we recognized that these interesting personages were our classmates at Rushville High School. From this shifting screen of the future we learned the fate and fortune of the entire class of '32 for the year o 1945. Helen Abbott appeared first. She is superintendent of nurses at Trinity Hospital in New York City. Carl and Glen Akers are managers of a chain of oil service stations. 1' Mrs.. Everette Rittenhouse, formerly Miss Gail Anderson, and her husband are 1v1ng in Wyoming on a large ranch. Gail presides very charmingly at all the cowboy banquets. f Big. W. Ballou, known to us as Bill, is a surgeon in Paris. Oh! what a break or 1 . Margaret Bartlett and Anna Quillen are the joint owners of the Fanny Mae Shops, Incorporated. Mr. and Mrs. Ninian Edmonston, the latter known to us as Clarine Boehm 1 are residing in San Francisco, California. Mr. Edmonston is an electrical engineer of world renown. Russell Bonser owns a large dairy farm south of Rushville. By the way, Russell is married to Olive Rohn, who contributes much to her husband's success. Geneva Bottorff is happily married to L-? She and her husband, the second Knute Rockne, are in Indiana. Harold Boyd is a professional football star on the championship team of the Littleton Badgers. He acknowledges that he owes much to his training under Bob Wixom in R. H. S. Evelyn Briney is the Dean of Women at Western State Teachers' College. Woodrow Briney is president of a tin cup factory, and has perfected a per- forated cup guaranteed not to leak or rust. Esther Brooks has the leading roll in Oh Those Eyes, now playing in Ripley. Eldora Cady and Harold Lambert are starring in Love's Turmoil, a Krazy- Kat production. b I Mary Carty is living in Frederick and is helping her husband in the trucking usmess. Raymond Chipman is the world's champion tennis player. Atta boy! Chippy, we're proud of you. Margaret Cooper, a nice little dame, who was once teaching school, has now changed her name. Dr. and Mrs. Rudolph Corman have a gorgeous home in Los Angeles, Cali- fornia. Mrs. Corman will be remembered as Mary Hunt. Both are social favorites, and have entertained visiting royalty at their estate. The Prince of Wales was charmed by Mary's piano technique during a recent visit to this country. Howard Crum is a professional track man who often visits Rushville with his capable manager, Lucius Valentine. James Corrie is running a school taxi similar to his 1918-model Ford, and either drives or pushes it around town. He has a record for never allowing the chil- dren to be late for school since they usually get out and walk. 21 wt, .. Re-Echo Juanita Daly has acquired the name of Smith after a successful career teach- ing dramatic art. Ralph Davis is now occupying the chair of J. F. Pinkerton as Professor of Science at R. H. S.

Dorothy Fisk and Freida Shores are now Home Economics teachers, and cook for the Student-Faculty Council at R. H. S. Virgil Gillenwater is the French professor in the University of Chicagog he makes regular trips to Paris, he has some interest over there-we wonder what? John Gillette is a famous pugilist and has gained this fame partly through the ability of his excellent manager, Harold Hoffman. Violet Goldsboro is the president of the Old Maids' Reading Circle Society. Franklin Grafton is proprietor of a pool room for Ladies Only. Imogene Ingles has become the first woman mayor of Rushville. .th Bernard Hamman is a second Einstein, and he doesn't understand his theory el er. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Thompson are very successful.

Helen Jones is founder of Killjoy, a woman's college located at Sugar Grove, Ill. Lelia Jones is heard over the radio at night, telling bed-time stories. Audrey Kinsey, now Mrs. Maurice Kennedy, is spending her life as a nice, neat, quiet, little house-wife. Mr. and Mrs. Carlyle Lane are living in Riverside, Browning. Mr. Lane is responsible for the rapid growth and prosperity of this little village. Mrs. Lane will be remembered as the popular Anna Margaret Reed.

Faye Rebman, the little blue-eyed maid always so quiet and demure, reigns as a society queen in Boston. Vivian Reynolds is a song writer, and her latest song hit is Everybody Knows Why I Sigh. Dorothy Rittenhouse is the private secretary to Henry Ford. 22 ' lam, . Re-Echo Marjorie Ross is a famous missionary in Africa, teaching natives the art of dressing well. Rosalee Ross is now an editor of the True Story Magazine in which she relates the authentic romance of her high school days. Of all the big surprises will you listen to one more-think of Evelyn Runkle in Littleton running a country store! Russell Sargent and Francis Shaver are old bachelors and have formed a partnership in teaching hundreds of other men How to Attract the Ladies. Edna Shores is helping her husband sell automobiles. Frederick Simpson, the famous contortionist, is appearing at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago, and he has attracted enormous crowds by his pathetic perform- ances.

He has grown considerably heavier, having gained about twenty-five pounds. Keep it up, Lyle, and you'll make a man yet. , Lyle Ward is one of the national contestants for the memory of dates. CWe mean History datesj. We feel sure he will win. Challis Warrington is in Detroit earning his board by cranking tin lizzies for Henry Ford. Marion Winters is a Grand Opera singer and lives in New York in a pent- house on the Empire State Building. Lois Young is a nurse in Kill or Cure Hospital in Portland, Oregon. We un- derstand that she has won the friendship of many of her patients, especially Otis McCombs, who was carefully attended by Miss Young. She later married him. On a busy street in old Philadelphia there stands a cop. His name? Why, Spencer Hills. At this stage of our glimpse into the future, our vision became blurred, as if by a rosy-hued fogg we again had that strange sensation of being mentally lifted and brought back to the present. The sensation soon vanished, and we looked at each other for some proof of reality. We glanced around and found ourselves to be the center of attraction. Our pirate captors smilingly explained that the capsules, which we had taken, had psychically released our minds into the future where we were privileged to tarry for a few moments. Lest you be led to imagine that we were kept prisoners on this Treasure Isle, let it be said that on the following day we were conveyed to our own steamer to con- tinue on our way to Europe. -E.

Miss Barton, Miss McFerran, Mr. Schramm On September 2, 1929, our class, a group of willing-workers, entered high school with our Treasure Chest in which we were to store the happy memories we are gaining in our high school career. Jack Wells was the first leader to instill in us the desire to acquire such riches for our chest as were available. During our second year, James Bushnell was our guide who helped us gather many other ideas for our collection. Although at times the studies and examinations tried to steal away our pleasant memories, by the third lap we had our chest half full. Now, our leader is Bradford Ingles, and by the end of this year we will have added substantially to our accumulation of honors won in athletic, scholastic, and literary activities. At the finish of our high school career we hope to have as many memories as our Treasure Chest will hold. Then we can open it and look over all the good times we have had at the high school parties and games with our teachers and schoolmates. -JUNE BRANNAN, 'fl3. 25 Re-Echo Bottom Row: Lela Hills, Bessie Simpson, Edna Degtiz, Sara M.

Mr. Pinkerton, Mr. Scott We have many things by which to remember our first high school days. Dur- ing the first week of our training, when nearly all of our large class of one hundred and twenty-five members lost their way in the building, the Seniors were making fun of us. But this did not last long, as we elected Lyle Holmes to be our leader, and we began to conquer the other classes in all lines of activities. We won the Treasure Hunt held in connection with the Get-Acquainted Party. We have many fond memories of the way our boys upheld our colors in the athletic world. We plac- ed men on the basketball and track squads. We also had our share of A students who maintained our scholastic standards. When the roll was taken in September 1931, we still had the largest class in the school with ninety-eight members. We again elected Lyle Holmes to be our leader through thick and thin. At first the going was rather hard, but the humor that the poor little Freshies afforded made the going easier, and by the time the re- port cards were issued we had settled down to the old grind. These are just a few of the memories that we have in our Treasure Chest of Memories and we hope to add many more before we are forced to leave our beloved Alma Mater. VAWILLIAM S.

Miss Taylor, Mr. Wixom Out of the Treasure Chest of Memories of the class of 1935 comes this record of our first year in Rushville High School: On Septemberel, 1931, a class of sixty-three Freshies, not betraying their name for one moment, entered the Rushville High School in quest of an education. This journey through the four years of high school may be compared to a four act drama entitled 'High School.' In this first act we have built up the plot for the re- maining acts. Our leading man, George Montooth, an able one indeed, exerted every effort to make the act a success. Only twice did the villain appear, and then in the form of Semester Examinations, to scare and shock the cast. But he was finally put to Hight and the curtain fell on the Freshies standing above him with glittering swords and triumphant hearts, much to the surprise of the dignified Seniors. Much credit is due to Wixom and Taylor for their hard work and good advice in making this act a success. Every one connected with the class must admit that the prospects for the class of 1935 are very bright. -BILLY TYREE ,35' ' 27 Re-Echo b 153' X X T-i N x xg Lux 5 S- . ,sy 4 X xx Si? if We 'f-1 ' lrx Pains. ii A E- fp.

It sponsors and has direct control over all the extra-curricular activities. At its weekly meetings it transacts all business pertaining to the student body as a whole. The Council is composed of ten members, five of whom are faculty members, and five are students. These members were elected at the beginning of the school year on September 10 by the student body and faculty from a list of candidates who had been nominated to represent each class. The Senior Class has two representa- tives and each of the other three classes has one. Three members are elected from the faculty in addition to Mr. R. G. Smith, Superintendent, and Mr. Thos. B.

TlHllE lRlE-lECll-llO In opening our Treasure Chest of Memories we have tried to bring forth all the things which are of value to the friends of Rushville High. We have tried to in- terest everyone by reviewing the athletic, scholastic, and social phases of our school life for the past year. It is our hope that in later years you may re-open the Re-Echo, and recall the friends and activities that contributed to make the time spent in R. ll. S. the happiest four years of all. The statf has worked long and hard, and every member has tried to make his part of the Re-Echo interesting. James McLaren, the Editor, and Maurace Wells, the Business Manager, have had the co-operation of the following statf: Assistant lflditorf-ffMargaret Bartlett, Circulation Manager-Billy Balloug Assistant Business Manager-James Corrieg Literary Editors-Esther Brooks, Juanita Donaldson, Boys' Athletic Editor-Lyle Vincent: Girls' Athletic Editor-Margaret Cooperg Calendar- Mary Hunt, Bernard Hammang Joke Editors-Geneva Bottorif, Dorris Nelson, Lyle Ward: Snap Shots-Clarine Boehm, Juanita Daly, TypistsgEldora Cady, Ruth Degitz.

The staff expresses its sincere appreciation to those who have aided in the publication of this annual, to the business men of the community for their splendid response in purchasing advertising space, and to the student body and faculty who made the animal possible by their subscriptions. The preparation of the 1932 Re-Echo has been an enjoyable one for the mem- bers ot' the staff. Our efforts will be rewarded if you, its readers, find pleasure in examining the contents of our Treasure Chest.

Miss Barton, Miss Taylor The Philomathian and Analotos Literary Societies are organizations which are truly representative of the extra-curricular work of the school. Every student is enrolled in one of the two societies and takes part in a program during the year. On September 24 the two societies organized and elected officers who have efiiciently conducted the meetings. The societies alternated in presenting the programs which were given in the auditorium every Wednesday. Each society had the other as its guest and in this way everyone was privileged to see all the programs. Great interest has been shown this year in the presentation of several one-act plays. Some of the plays given were: Stir and Mix Well, Household Hints, Suspended Animation, You Can't Skeer Me, and It Might Have Been Worse. All of these were carefully coached by the advisers and revealed much dramatic talent, especially among the underclassmen. The emphasis thus placed upon dram- atic work this year has been a source of training and developing material for future stage presentations of the school. Musical numbers, readings, and scientific sketches added variety to the programs. The High School has derived much enjoyment and benefit from the programs f th Ph'l o e iomathian and Analotos Literary Societies which have greatly stimulated an active interest in literary and dramatic work among the students. 31 Re-Echo Hallou liegitz llenderson Reynolds Mallory Mcliureii THE ECHO STAFF At the beginning of school The Times very kindly extended to the High School the privilege of using a section of the paper each week for the school news as was done last year. The offer was accepted and an Echo staff was chosen to act under Miss lJegitz's supervision. Each member of the staff was assigned to cover certain activi- ties throughout the year. The staff has given the school considerable publicity by its etforts, and should be commended for its excellent work and the time spent so usefully in furthering the fame of the school.

GIRLS' GlLlElE CLUB Thirty-six girls passed the tryout tests held in September and became mem- bers of the Girls' Glee Club for this year. Practices were held weekly. Besides the regular meetings the Girls' Glee Club joined with the Boys' Club to present the annual high school operetta, Sunbonnet Girl, on November 24, 1931, which was the major musical production of the year. Much credit for the year's work is due to the able accompaniment of Vera Shores, and to the skillful direction of Mr. Schmitt. The Girls' Glee Club won the preliminary contest this year and represented the high school in the Illinois Valley League Contest. Following are the members: SOPRANO: ALTO: L. Horney K. Rinehart M.

Although he goes to an island bungalow for peace and quiet, he finds himself deeply involved in an excit- ing jewel robbery. A trio of crooks are responsible for this compromising situation. The harrassed Horace is further alarmed by the arrival of Loris Adams, who is running away from a tyrannical match-making father. Mr. Adams also descends upon the quiet home with his would-be son-in-law, who is posing as a detective. The discovery of the jewels in Horace's possession seems to be conclusive evidence of his guilt, but he solves the mystery with the aid of the admiring Loris. Horace suddenly awakens to the fact that he is in love with Loris, who becomes reconciled with her wrathful father. At last both Horace and Loris. find happiness and peace in the island retreat. Clever lines, able direction, and adaptability of cast to characters made Intruding On Horace one of the most entertaining plays ever presented by the local high school.

Billy, Helen's fiance, has forgotten Peggy's existence, but Peggy hasn't forgotten his! While at boarding school she learns that Helen intends to break her engagement to Billy, so Peggy returns to make a play for his love. She enters Billy's bachelor apartment via the fire escape and window, and persuades him to explain to Mrs. Delancey, the owner of the boarding house, that she is his sister. Dexter, the detective, and Murphy, the cop, are certain that Peggy is the thief who is working the neighborhood. Even Daisy, apparently the dumbest maid who ever worked at a boarding house, thinks Peggy is guilty. Billy can't believe she is a crook in spite of the evidence against her. He falls in love with her and tries to help her escape the police, who are on her trail. They capture Peggy only to learn she is Helen Henderson's sister, and that the dumb maid, Daisy, is the Second-Story Peggy, for whom they have been looking.

Membership is open to the faculty and juniors and seniors of the school. From the League the de- bate adviser, Mr. Scott, chooses the debating teams. The League meets weekly and the meetings are devoted to formal debate and practice in public speaking. The only debate scheduled this year was with Macomb Academy on March 18, 1932. The state debate question was used: Resolved, that the several states should enact legislation providing for compulsory unemployment insurance. The Rushville affirmative team won the decision here from the Academy negative team, while our negative team was defeated at Macomb. The annual Debating League banquet was held at McDougall's March 1, 1932. The business of the League was brought to a close and several members gave toasts on The Debate.

In order that they might be more easily recognized and feel more at home, the freshmen were dressed as small children in romper suits, hair ribbons and knee pants. In the parade of little boys and girls, Marian Schuetze was judged to be the youngest- looking, and won the prize for which all the youngsters had hoped-an all-day sucker. In the class stunts which were presented, the freshmen gave miscellaneous numbers, the sophomores a clever automobile sketch, the juniors a dramatic produc- tion, Courtship Under Difficultiesj' and the seniors pantomimed Way Out West. Fol- lowing these stunts, a miscellaneous program of high school talent was greatly en- joyed and the audience called for encore after encore. The evening's entertainment end- ed with refreshments and dancing. Hallowe'en Masquerade October 30th witnessed the transformation of the gymnasium into a land of corn- stalks, jack-0'-lanterns, and strange people. Gypsy maidens, darkies, overall boys, sunbonnet babies, Spanish dancers, brownies, fairies, and ghosts all chatted happily under a brightly colored drop ceiling, and danced gaily past the pumpkin-faces. Not egen the black cats or broom-riding witches could cast a shadow over this merry t rong. Excitement ran high when the masks were removed and the identity of these strange people was revealed. There was a grand march to determine the prize- winners. Pierrette, a bride and groom, two red-hot devils, and a fat coon were declared the best among many cleverly costumed characters. In two adjoining rooms one was conducted through a mysterious and scarey spook-house. Two dis- tinguished fortune-tellers in corn-stalk booths were busily reviewing the past and foretelling the future for the curious. There was plenty of fun for all, as well as apples and doughnuts which were given to everyone late in the evening. To the strains of Home, Sweet Home the guests reluctantly left one of the most enjoyable masquerades ever held. Spring Party The annual spring party was held on March 18th in the gymnasium which had been changed into a lovely old-fashioned garden with flower-decked trellises and arbors, and a vari-colored canopy overhead. In this spring-like setting an orchestra furnished music for dancing throughout the evening. Those who wished to play cards found tables at one end of the garden. The St. Patrick's Day scheme was carried out in the refreshments which were served the latter part of the evening. Junior-Senior Banquet On April 29th the junior class honored the members of the senior class with the annual Junior-Senior Banquet held at The Virginia. The color scheme of orchid and white was tastefully carried out in the decorations. Following the banquet and program dancing was enjoyed. The Lilac, the senior class Hower, was the theme of the toast program which was as follows: THE LILAC MESSAGE Bradford Ingles, Toastmaster The Seed . .............. Mary Hunt The Gardener . . .

C .V Washington Bi-Centennial Program On February 22, the public schools of Rushville commemorated the 200th anni- versary of the birth of George Washington. The programs presented by the Washington, Webster, and High Schools, were so unique in character and depicted so realistically the entire life of Washington, that nothing but commendation could be offered for each program. The program was given in three divisions. At ten o'clock in the morning the Hrst four grades of Washington and Webster Schools gave a program depicting the life of Washington from his birth until he reached the age of sixteen. At two-thirty in the afternoon the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades of Webster School portrayed Washington's life from the time he received his surveyor's commission until he resigned as general of the Revolutionary Army. At eight o'clock the high school presented the third part of Washington's life, tracing the history of Washington and his relations thru the constitutional convention, his eight years in the office of President of the United States, and his retirement to private life at Mount Vernon. T. B. Houston read the historical prologue which prepared the audience for the pantomiming which followed and gave the connecting story thruout the program in such a way that no one could fail to get the significance of each scene and the thing for which it stood. After several numbers by the high school orchestra, a vocal solo by Geneva Bottorff, a piano medley by June Brannan, and two short tributes to Washington by Raymond Chipman and Keith Croxton, a splendid presentation of The Spirit of 76 was displayed. A colorful minuet followed with the gentlemen dressed in the bright clothes of the colonial days and the ladies in the beautiful dresses of that period. Then by a series of pantomime sketches Washington's life during his later years was portrayed. Thos. Finch Scott and Miss Myra Taylor ably represented George Washington and Martha Washington. Other characters were William Henderson as Hamilton, Richard Gorman as Patterson, Billy Ballou as Franklin, Billy Tyree as Raymond, and James McLaren as Jefferson. The scenes represented Washington and other notables of the time during the trying period of the Constitutional Convention and the presidency of Washington. After these sketches a final tribute was paid to Washington. Washington was shown together with the Spirit of 76 , while Dorris Nelson gave a tribute to the char- acter of Washington. The reception of these three programs was extraordinary. The seats of the audi- torium of the high school were filled both in the morning and afternoon, and in the evening there were several hundred who could not find seats. From every point of view the celebration of the birth of Washington was a complete success. I 44 , w.

L yle Vincent The Athletic Association is one of the most important organizations of the high school. Every student in the school is a member of A. A. The purpose of the organization is to give substantial support to the athletic teams and to develop sportsmanship in the contests with other towns. The officers plan and conduct the pep meetings to promote enthusiasm and loyalty in all school activities. They also arrange for the advertising of the school athletic events. The president of the Association, Harold Lambert, served as chairman of the pep meetings and acted as head cheer leader. Much credit is due to him for the effi- cient manner in which he performed his duties and led the cheers of the student body. This year Rushville had a most successful season In football the team won all of its games and tied with Bushnell for the Spoon River Conference championship. The basketball team won a large percent of its games. The climax of the basketball season was the winning of the annual invitation tournament for the first time in the history of the school and defeating Beardstown for the first time in many years. The Athletic Association, by giving a loyal backing to the teams, has helped greatly in making these victories possible. 45 Re-Echo Corman Vancil Hall Mgr. Wells Pittington Capt.

He was a very good player and an important factor in forming a successful team. VANCIL-Vassar was another excellent back-field man. He was an experienced and reliable player. This was the last year for Vassar at Rushville High School. HALL- Rich proved to be a splendid fullback. He went through the line con- tinually for long gains. He worked well with the other back-field men and was a good blocker. Rich has one more year at Rushville High. MGR. WELLS-Maurace was the one person who got all the blame and none of the credit throughout the season. It was his duty to keep the equipment in condition, and to supply the needs of the players, which he always did faithfully. PITTINGTON- Penny alternated at center and guard throughout the season. He was always in the center of a play, fighting either to stop an opponent or to open a hole for a Rushville back. Penny will be a valuable man next year. EDMONSTON, Captain- Nin proved to be the best captain ever to play on a Rushville High School team. He played end during the entire season and his leadership helped make possible Rushvil1e's most successful football season. SPATES- Charlie developed into a very dependable lineman. He played prac- tically every position in the line and performed equally well in all. Charlie will be missed in the line next year. McCOMBS-This was Cub's first year on a football team. However, because of his size and fight, he became a valuable lineman and very dependable. BRINEY-Briney was another excellent lineman. Few gains were made by opponents through his position and he always was ready to open up a hole for a Rush- ville back. BOYD-Boyd was another excellent guard. This was his second year on the team, and he was an experienced, hard-fighting player. -He suffered a dislocated shoul- der during the season, but he played in the final game with Beardstown. SHAVER- Son played in the line at either guard or center and was a very dependable player. He was a hard fighter and always played well in his position. SMITH- Dutch was a good back-field man and consistently made long gains through his passing and running ability. Dutch will be back next year and should prove a very valuable player. ROBESON, Captain-Elect- Jake had all the qualities of a back-field player. He could plunge, end-run, kick, and pass. Jake will be captain of next ,year's team, and can be depended on to help maintain the school's football standing. MIRESSI- Mickey played guard throughout the season. He could always be reged upon to open up a hole in the other line or to form his section of that stonewall de ense. HINDMAN- Cliff transferred from another school, Naperville, with a reputa- tion as a lineman. He was made into a quarterback and improved with every game. He should be even better next fall. VALENTINE-Lucius was a fine back-field man. He worked well with the other backs and could always find the weak spot of an opponent's line. This was the second and last year for Lucius. RINEHART- Charlie was another one of the best football players ever known at Rushville High. He played end throughout the season and was never known to fail in carrying out his part of a play. 47 Re-Echo . .Qu 1 l , N ' 1 xiq , x X 'v ml W ' : f,.i'.

FOOTBALL SUMMARY The football season of 1931 was undoubtedly the greatest success in the history of the school. The team completed a very difficult schedule without being tied or defeated. The team piled up a total of 154 points to its opponents' 12, to tie Bushnell for first place in the Spoon River Conference. The su:-cess of the season is even more remarkable considering the fact that it was developed by a coach new at Rushville High School and from a group of play- ers who had had little experience. However, the essentials of a good football team were present' a iighting spirit, excellent football material, and student loyalty. SEPTEMBER 19-TABLE GROVE ln the iirst game of the season Rushville played Table Grove. Rushville's team was as yet very inexperienced and had difficulty in holding the strong Table Grove group. However, the team managed to put over the winning touchdown to defeat Table Grove ti to 0. SEPTEMBER 25-CU BA In the second game of the segson, also played on the local gridiron, Rushville met Cuba. In this game the Rushville players proved to be far superior to the Cuba team. In this game, the liist with Cuba since 1925, Rushville was victorious bv a score ol' 321 to U. -iS Re-Echo OCTOBER 3-MACOMB Rushville journeyed to Macomb in its first out of town game. During the first half Macomb stored a touchdown by a blocked kick and the half ended 6 to 0. However, the Rushville boys scored a touchdown in each of the last two quarters to win 13 to 6. Rushville made sixteen first downs to Macomb's three. OCTOBER 9-HAVANA In this game Rushville defeated Havana, undoubtedly the strongest team en- countered during the season. Havana up to this time had had a very successful season and was fully primed to defeat Rushville. Through superior playing and a determined fighting spirit, Rushville came through victorious, 7 to 0. OCTOBER 16-INDUSTRY Rushville met Industry in the second out of town game. This team, contrary to predictions, proved to be a very strong opponent. The game was played on a very rough field and on a windy day. Rushville managed to score only one touch- down in this game, winning 6 to 0. OCTOBER 23-VIRGINIA On October 23 Rushville met Virginia. Rushville played superior football and easily defeated Virginia. The game was played at home and conditions were ideal. The only gains of any length made by Virginia were by means of an aerial attack staged late in the game. Rushville, on the other hand, scored three touchdowns on straight football to win 20 to 0. OCTOBER 30-COLCHESTER The last home game of the season was played with Colchester. This team proved very weak before the powerful Rushville attack. During the game every member of the squxd entered in the game. Rushville pushed over six touchdowns to win 38 to 0. NOVEMBER 11-BEARDSTOWN In the final game of the season, Rushville journeyed to Beardstown to play their old rivals. The day was cold and the field was very muddy. Rushville played straight football throughout the game and scored five touchdowns. In the last half, Beardstown scored the second touchdown to be scored against Rushville this year as a direct result of a blocked kick and a penalty. The game ended with Rushville victorious, 31 to 6. September 19 ........ September 25 ...... . October 9 ..........

Both the first and second squads were faced with an exceptionally stiff schedule and each came through in fine shape. The first team won twelve out of its eighteen scheduled games and took the first place trophy in the local invitation tournament. The second squad won six out of its eleven scheduled games besides taking second place at the Mt. Sterling tournament, competing against the first teams of the other schools entered. At the close of the football season, Coach Wixom started organizing a team to play Astoria in four days. The boys forced a 32 to 6 defeat upon Astoria as the first victory of the season. After a week of hard practice the two squads were organized well enough to pull down two more victories, the first team defeating the visiting Chandlerville team 25 to 15, and the second team defeating the Chandlerville seconds 26 to 16. The following night the visiting Ipava team was given a thorough drubbing of 40 to 14, which chalked up another victory for R. H. S. The teams met their first stumbling block when the visiting Bath teams took home the bacon twice, winning from our first team 30 to 21, and from our second team 12 to 3. A return game was played with Ipava, which was won by Rushville by a score of 32 to 12, although the half ended 10 to 9 in favor of Ipava. The visiting game with Browning proved to .be a hair-raiser. It was won by Rushville 32 to 29 in spite of the fact that Browning led 28 to 26 two minutes before the game ended. Both of the Rushville squads paid a return visit to Chandlerville and took two victories from them, the first team winning 15 to 12 in a very exciting last minute game, and the second team winning an easy game by a score of 33 to 12. The next games were out of town also and proved to add two more victories to Rushville's list. Virginia's first team was beaten 27 to 15 and their second team was defeated 32 to 12. Our next visitors were from Lewistown, who proved to be our victims twice with our first team winning 21 to 14, and our second team winning 18 to 13. Rushville was forced to chalk up two defeats when Beardstown took in our first team 32 to 25 and our second team 16 to 11 on the Beardstown fioor. These were hard games to lose. In our next games we broke even, taking a first team victory 34 to 23, from Mt. Sterling, and giving a second team victory to them 27 to 21. The Havana game is a hard one to mention, but it must be said that we lost it 18 to 15 in a game that looked more like a football game than a basketball game. Virginia, in a return trip to Rushville, caught the first team napping and took a 23 to 16 victory, but were forced to give up a second team victory to our second team by a score of 18 to 12. Both teams traveled to Lewistown and won two more games which were the roughest games of the season with the exception of the Havana game. The first team won 23 to 12, and the second team won 17 to 9. The first squad won a 22 to 20 victory at Mt. Sterling in a very close game with Mt. Sterling leading most of the game, only to be nosed out in the closing seconds. After having defeated Beardstown in the invitation tournament it was hoped that Rushville might beat them again on the home iioor, but this didn't prove to be the case. The Beardstown second team won 16 to 11, and the Beardstown first team won 24 to 23. The last scheduled games of the season proved disastrous to Rushville in both games. With Captain McCombs and Lane both sick at home, and the rest of the players handicapped with colds, Macomb's first and second teams took easy victories over Rushville, their first team winning 38 to 20, and their second team 30 to 19. 51 0 Re-Echo Mc-Combs fCaptJ, Holmes, Hester, Corman, Coach Wixom, Means, Henderson, J. Greer, Mgr. Ballou, Lane. Schafer, Shaver, R. Greer, Ingles, Hills. THE Tl-EAM Cub McCombs was elected honorary captain at the end of the season, but served in that capacity in many games. Cub made many of our points by his long shots and, by his excellent guarding, prevented many baskets from being made by our opponents. Cub will be missed very much next year. Son Shaver was not outstanding until the season had started and then he made up for lost time. He was an excellent guard and was consistent in making short shots. Son was always making those last minute long shots which put Rushville in the lead for a victory as the gun sounded. Butch Schafer played his last game of basketball for R. H. S. at Beardstown in the district tournament. Butch always came out of a game with a good score to his credit whether he played guard or forward. Rudy Corman played all positions during the season. He was always put- ting the old fight into the team. He certainly tossed in the baskets in the Mt. Sterling tournament and kept up the team's pep. Cagle Hester. although a sophomore, saw plenty of action during the season. His ability as a guard is marked, and his future in basketball in the next two years promises that he will become one of the best guards Rushville will ever have. Carlyle Lane, coming to Rushville from Browning, was responsible for many of Rushville's points and proved his basketball ability when we met Browning. Lane usually played center position, although he also played guard. Bob Greer was a fine center and usually got the tip-off. He was good on sleepers, but as a rule didn't have such good luck on his free throws. He will have quite a responsibility next year as center, and much is expected of him. Chuck Means played both center and forward positions during the season. At first he had trouble making short shots, but later he very seldom missed one. When playing center Chuck was especially good on the defensive. Doc Hills came to us from Huntsville for his last year and proved to be a very valuable man. He played forward regularly and certainly piled in the baskets. He had that old eye for the basket which made opponents wilt. He showed his nerve, especially in the final game of the invitation tournament, by making the free throw in the last fifteen seconds which defeated Beardstown. ' Warpie Ingles should prove to be an excellent forward next year. This year he made many baskets for Rushville, and it is expected that he will be a high point man on next year's squad. Bill Henderson, with two more years before him, will undoubtedly make quite a name for himself in basketball. He proved a valuable forward this year. VL 02 so Re-Echo ' TOURNAMJENTS Because of a new ruling stating that a player cannot participate in more than two tournaments besides the state district tournament, Rushville was forced to send its second squad to the Mt. Sterling tournament in order to have the first squad for the Beardstown invitation tournament and our own invitation tournament. The Mt. Sterling tournament, held December 21-22-23, was the first tourna- ment in which Rushville participated. Rushville was represented by the second squad and a fine showing was made. After defeating Golden's first team, the first teams of Timewell and Chambersburg were defeated in turn by the Rushville second team, thus placing us in the finals. The strong Mendon team out-classed us, how- ever, and we were defeated 48 to 20. fThe Mendon team defeated Quincy in their state district tournament.J The Rushville first team took third place in the Beardstown tournament Janu- ary 7-8 by defeating Virginia's second team 30 to 14 after being defeated by Jack- sonville. In the Rushville invitation tournament, February 4-5-6, Rushville, after de- feating Astoria and Vermont, crowned their glory by winning the tournament, by beating Beardstown in the finals 20 to 19. The impossible had been accomplished, and Rushville had for the first time won its own invitation tournament besides de- feating Beardstown the first time in the memory of most people of Rushville. This victory alone certainly made the season a success. Browning took third place in the tournament by defeating Vermont 23 to 11. The first team, impaired by recent sickness of its players, was put out of the district tournament at Beardstown March 9-10-11-12 by Virginia by a score of 25 to 24. Thus the season ended with Rushvil1e's first team winning 16 out of 22 games, and her second team winning 10 out of 15 games, or in all 26 out of 37 games, or 73 per cent of the games.

THE SECOND TEAM The second team must be recognized as the source of future teams of Rush- ville. These boys were hard fighters and won a high percentage of their games. They we1'e the ones who gave the experience to the first team and helped to make the season a success. The second team is to be commended for its line showing in the Mt.

The weather was ideal for hiking, which was fortunate since the major- ity of the hikes were over unpaved roads. Most of the hikes were tive miles in length, but one Saturday the Club took a fifteen mile hike, going to Stony Creek and back. Only a few girls failed to hike the required sixty miles. This was one of the most enjoyable years that the Hiking Club has experienced. Several picnics and weiner roasts added pleasure to the hikes. HOCKEY CLUB About sixty girls reported for hofkey in the fall. A field was marked off on the Webster school grounds and the girls practiced there until the close of the foot- ball season, when they used the field at Scripps Park. Many cf the girls showed re-il ability as hockey players and are looking forward to the hockey season next fall. Several games were played by teams chosen by the director, but no inter-class tourna- ment was held on account of the bad weather which shortened the hockey season. 57 Re-Echo Bushnell Spates Blackburn Bryant Cunningham Bartlow Suhuetze VOlLlLlEY BALL This interesting game has been on the high school curriculum for two years The girls welcome the volley ball season with mueh enthusiasm. An inter-clas tournament was held in December when the Junior team proved to be the volley ball champs. The Seniors played the Sophomores and won by a score of 20 to ll. The .Juniors won over the Freshmen and then played the Seniors, winning by the scorn ol' 21 to IX. These are the teams: SFINIORS: A. M. Reed ll. Abbott I.. Young A. liogsdon A. Quillen U. Rohn M.

On Monday, March 14, Miss McFerran conducted the telegraphic basket-shooting contest. Hazel Walters, Arlene Daniels, Dorothy Donaldson, and Catherine Mallory made the required number of shots at the local contest. A two-day inter-class tournament was held March 14 and 15. The Sophomores and Juniors proved to be the outstanding teams. Both played a fast and clever brand of basketball with fine team work and real basketball ability. By their victory over the Sophomores, the Juniors were declared class champions. In the Hrst game the fast Sophomore team defeated the Freshmen in a very one-sided game with the score 34-1. The Juniors easily defeated the Senior team 31-6. On Tuesday the losers of the previous session were evenly matched in a 6-7' contest with the Seniors managing to take the game from the plucky Freshman team in the last minute of play. The Final game between the Juniors and Sophomores was exciting from start to finish with the lead alternating from one team to the other. The Sophomores were leading at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but a shift in the Junior line-up resulted in a 15-12 win for the Juniors.

At 3:40 yesterday afternoon Old Man Depression kicked the bucket following a lingering illness. Hav- ing been married only three years, his passing is quite fortunate since his young wife, This Modern Age, had not yet had time to find a cure for his ailment. The causes of his death were athlete's foot and a fractured hangnail. His condition was brought to a crisis by a broken collar bone caused by falling dandruff. The funeral rites were held in Little's Hall at 7:15 this evening, the sermon being preached by the Rev. Thomas Boliver Houston. The funeral procession dashed slowly up the fire-escape. The deceased was carried in a large clothes bas- ket trimmed in the R. H. S. colors of purple and gold. The pall-bear- ers were the Sheriff, the Mayor, the Governor, and the President. The deceased was placed on an altar banked high with cauliflower and horse-radish. The organist, Vassar Vancil, played There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To- night. Then a solo, Toodle-oo, So Long, Goodbye, was sung by that hotter than hot blues singer, Franklin Grafton. After the ceremony Tele Mc- Ferran favored the guests with a tap dance on the tables. Then the orchestra appeared and the whole crowd had a chance to dance to some sizzling dirges. The party broke up about 3:05 a. m. The throng proceeded with the burial ceremonies which took place at the Back Yard at 3:45 a. m. As the body was lowered into the grave, the faculty male quartette sang Happy Days Are Here Again and Stay in Your Own Back Yard. Following the hearty hurrahs of the mourners, everyone threw away their blues and proceeded homeward to cele- brate the Dawn of a New Day. l N 1 l I l STARTLING NEW DISCOVERY MADE A new star his been discovered in the R. H. S. firmament. She not only acts and sings, but she dances! And how she dances! Everyone is of the opinion that she will some day be glorified by Ziegfield. She was first noticed during the operetta' this year in which she took the daring part of a charming country lass. During intermis- sions of play practice she very de- lightfully entertained us with the latest of tap steps. Many of the cast tried in vain to catch on to her steps, but it was of no use. . She had quite a collection of boy friends, and all the girls were afraid of losing their steadies. She often had as many as three dates a night. fl wonder how she man- aged.l A social secretary was needed badly. She has now opened a class to students of the High School for all interested. So far she has a promising class of boys, but no girls ..... fLooks bad, boysll I wonder who will get the first break? Lessons will cost twenty- five cents an hour, but most people are making a day of it. GUS SOUNDS FIRE ALARM On October 22, dear old R. H. S. came as near to burning as it ever has. It certainly was a narrow escape, since the school was on the verge of being destroyed by fire. And can't you just visualize those flames sweeping over our Alma Mater? The catastrophe was nar- rowly averted, much to the disap- pointment of Frederick Simpson who has always liked to play with matches. After the sound of the gong, the students evacuated the building in record time and stood in a circle around Mr. Pinkerton, who was trembling from the exer- tion of falling down the stairs in his haste to escape from Chemistry Lab. Everyone expected the fire department at any moment. Every- 'thing was in readiness but the fire. This all happened when our be- loved Gus dropped a crow-bar. l l SBRANN AN -SCHAFER CEREMONY TODAY The marriage of Miss June Bran- nan to August Karl Schafer was solemnized this morning at 5:00 o'clock Rocky Mountain time, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Brannan, 5280 Beardstown Road, Frederick, Ill. This popular young couple was united in the holy bands of matri- mony in a lively no-ring ceremony, the Rev. Thos. B. Houston officiat- ing. The house was attractively decorated with milkweed and cat- tails, in keeping with the season. The piano bench, banked with rag- weed and blue grass, comprised their clever and original altar. Only relatives of the immediate family were present, the only attendants being the R. H. S. 1932 basketball team. Just preceding the cere- mony, a solo, Rescue the Perish- ing, was executed by Miss Irma Roosa, accompanied on the harp by Myra, Taylor. Immediately follow- ing this number, Mr. Charles Means gave a snappy toast on the Good Old Basketball Days. At the last strains of This Is The Missus, the blushing bride slid joyfully down the bannister, followed by her bridesmaid, Mary Hunt. Both were charmingly dress- ed in darling blue gym rompers. 'I'wo pretty little Hower girls, Cub McCombs and Rudy Corman, danc- ed before the bride, each carrying a lily. At the tune of Say a Lit- tle Prayer For Me, the groom, Mr. Schafer, escaped from the clothes closet where he had been hiding since midnight. He was preceded by the dashing young Jake Reeve Robeson, who carried the minister's fee of fifty cents on a pin cushion.

JESTING JOURNAI 1 BIRTHDAY PARTY IS GALA AFFAIRQ Miss Lillian Peaches Lowder- man was hostess Monday night at u delightful buffet breakfast at her home. A very original scheme for the amusement of the guests was used. They entered the house through the back door and left their wraps in the kitchen. They were all requested to wear their clothing backwards. Everyone wore their hair parted in the mid- dle and the boys wore hair ribbons. 1 The color scheme in the home was so charmingly carried out that all the guests remarked about it The living room was decorated in red and purple with bright yellow and green curtains at the windows. Miss Lowderman received many beautiful gifts, among which were a full length picture of Mahatma Ghandi, a paper of pins, a box of hair ribbons, a package of Old Golds, a rattle, a ten-cent prize Kiss-proof lipstick, a package of gum, and a pair of hip boots. During the early hours of the evening games were played, includ- ing Hide and Seek, Ring Around' the Rosie, Post Office, and Dropi the Handkerchief. Then a prize was given to Helen Umphryes for winning the game of pinning the tail on the donkey. iAt least that's one time Helen got a break.J prize was a pacifier. At 2:30 a. m. breakfast served. The first course brick ice cream and flap-jacks. main course consisted of roast with raisin sauce, sauerkraut andl pigs' tails, limburger cheese sand-l wiches, lemons smothered in onions, 1 and jelly bean salad with tomatol sauce. The last course was a vegetable cocktail after which the all-night suckers were served. All the guests departed at 3:40 via the windows. 1 1 The was was The l suet Aviator: Wanna' Hy?

It makes such a good impres- sion on the teacher, and thus greatly improves one's chances of getting a good grade in the subject 2. It is such an aid to deep think- ing and to clear, distinct speech- especially in a foreign language. 3. It is such a habit among doc- tors, lawyers, and prominent social leaders at work or in public places. 4. It is such an aid to personal charm and beauty, giving one the nonchalant, contented air of a cow. 5. It is so especially becoming to people with greased hair, crooked heels, and dirty fingernails. 6. It is such excellent training for toothpick chewing and tobacco spitting in later life. 7. It is such clear proof of one's democratic relationship to the low- er animals, showing that what en- ters one's mouth is at all' times more important than what goes in one's head. 8. It is such a mark of distinc- tion proving that one can go to school six, eight, even twelve years, without so much as learning what decent classroom citizenship means! -,l.. .i- HOSPITAL NOTES Burton Lang, of this city, was brought to the hospital last Tues- day morning for treatment..

Let this remain till dry. Then with towels and ice water steam the skin. When skin is steamed, take a hand- ful of lard and slap it on the face. Rub well and let soak in.

J.ournal's Contribution To Idealism An Ideal School Day At 9:48 a. m. we conclude it is about time to arise so that we may be at school when the bell rings at 10:22. When it is 10:05 we hear a merry honk outside. We always take our time about sauntering into the school limousine, which calls for us every day. From the time we get to school until after the three-minute bell rings, we walk gaily around the corridors and talk over old times and the latest news with our pals. At the sound of the bell, all stu- dents proceed leisurely toward the auditorium. Mr. Smith begins General Assembly by saying, Now, i students, I want you to feel per- fectly at home and to enjoy your- 'selves. Don't hesitate to make your desires known because the .faculty will do everything they lcan to humor your whims. And if lany of you want to skip school, ,just come to the office and we'll ,give you a permit. The football land basketball boys may always 'take the afternoon off whenever they wish. N Exactly at 10:30 Mr. Schramm itrots in and announces that the or- ichestra, which has been hired for the day, is waiting for us in the gym. So we rush to the gym where lArt Kassel and his boys get hot. lAfter an hour of dancing we all lfeel quite peppy and go to our first hour class, which lasts fifteen min- utes as do all other classes. Tests and recitations are banned by the Student-Faculty Council. Classes are all very exciting be- cause the teachers do all the talk- ing and are required to illustrate the subjects discussed. Poor Mr. Pinkerton had to propose to his wife all over again when the Chem- istry class discussed diamonds the other day. At 12 o'clock we are dismissed and return at 2:30 to resume our hard studying. After three after- noon classes we assemble once more in the gym for afternoon tea. Af- terwards we select a Cord or a Rolls-Royce from the school garage and use it for the rest of the after- lnoon and evening. Gas is free at all times to any student. v l Jesting Journal To Conduct Unique Contest The Jesting Journal wishes to make a confidential announcement of a most unusual contest to be held in the far-off future. This will furnish our readers not only with brain fever but also with in- somnia. We hope that as many of you as possible will pass up this chance to compete for the big prizes. No one has a chance to win. Everyone will receive dishon- orable mention. All you have to do is to disregard these simple di- rections and win a big prize. Every week for two years the Jesting Journal will publish a list of nicknames of notorious people lin and about school. They will be names of people whom you ought to know if you are a loyal Rush- villain. Place these names under the microscope and examine hur- riedly. Use an insect powder if necessary. tWe recommend Flit. J 1 When you have decided on the iden- tity of the persons whose nick- names are given, write the correct answers on the south side of a :mu I-I-mminmummu-nmummnn TUTORING IN ALL SUBJECTS Mathematics : -a Specialty JoHN GILLETTE .nmuunnnnnnuuuunnunuuuuuunnnnuununnunn. .piece of Hypaper. Entries not written in Hindu will be fumigated. Don't forget that accuracy, neat- ness and originality are non-essen- tial so don't worry if your solu- tion has evaporated. The names of the lucky prize winners will be published next Sun- day and all entries must be receiv- ed by sunset May, 1962. This con- test is open to all nationalities, races, and heathens, except mem- bers of Miss Barton's French class- es and Miss Roe's Latin classes. It is not necessary that you sub- scribe to this paper to enter the contest. If no one minds, take your neighbor's paper when he isn't looking, and extricate the names from their surroundings. Deepest regret will be yours if you don't fail to enter this contest. Tell your relatives and children about it. Spare them the crushing l disappointment of having loved and ost. The Journal takes great pride in announcing the judges for this con- test, all of whom have reluctantly consented to withhold judgment on the entries. We have scoured Schuyler County for the most energetic and promising young men the school has ever had. We take great pleasure in informing our readers that we selected John Neeley, Leslie Donaldson, and Ran- dolph Wells for the honor. A few of the valuable prizes in- clude an inch of non-stretch elas- tic, a pain-less dentist, a bottle of catsup, assorted toothpicks, and the cat's whiskers. Take out your thumb-tacks and screw-drivers and begin with the first list of nicknames: 1. Jim. 2. Lambie. l 3. Cub, 4. Dutch, 5. Son. . 6. Bob. ' 7. Betty. 8. Butch. l 9 Bill. 10. Charlie, L flf you don't understand what ,this is all about, don't let it worry iyou. We don't either.J JESTING JOURN AL 5 wuiffijf H 0 the nicest dimples in high school. She is tall and blonde and full of personality. We believe that there is nothing she can't do and offer as our proof her list of activities. Our handsome 1931 football captain rather monopolizes her, but she isn't at all exclusive. She was an efficient Analotos president and she made a charming heroine in Sec- ond-Story Peggy. Her pals call her Boots. 2. This curly haired senior lad will go down in school history as having tossed in the winning free throw in our Tournament to break the old Beardstown jinx. He isn't very tall but he has plenty of what it takes to become a hero overnight. He came to us from Huntsville this year, and we're mighty proud of this modest youth whose last name starts with H and has five letters in it. 3. Leadership and dependability are the chief characteristics of this unassuming senior boy who has given four years of service to R. H. S. His popularity is unques- tioned and all unite in praises of his ability. He is a debater and orator, and as a student he has few equals. A brilliant future is our prediction for our class prexy whose pet peeve is to have his name spelled with an ice instead of an Mace. 4. Everyone knows this member of our Who's Who. He can play football like nobody's business. He is our leading comedian and humor- ist both on and off the stage. His famous grin has brightened many otherwise gloomy days, and his characteristic slow drawl has bafiied even his teachers. Like all gentlemen, he prefers a blonde who writes him notes in shorthand which he translates into fluent French. He is the best dressed man in school, and his military boots are the envy of every little Freshman. This likeable fellow has put Sugar Grove on the map. Yes-everybody calls him Nin. 5. A mighty man is he, this last member of our Who's Who. A powerful physique helped him be- come one of our outstanding ath- letes whose chief delight was to smear opponent's plays. fGirls, wouldn't he make the keenest sail- or?J He likes red neckties.

Miss Frances Thompson, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Thomp- son, is home for the Christmas holidays. She is a student at the University of California. B. L. Hamman, of this city, left several days ago for New York, where he will join his fiancee. They are to be married next Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Treadway arrived in Rushville Sunday after- noon from Los Angeles, Calif. They expect to spend a few days visiting old friends. Miss Juanita Daly left Monday morning for New York City from which place she will sail Friday on the U. S. Bremen for Paris, where she will study dramatics. Upon re- turning she will fulfil a contract with the Mack Sennett comedies. We were wondering what had become of Virgil Gillenwater after graduating from Rushville High School, but when we saw how familiar the Human Skeleton in the circus looked, we ceased to wonder. Richard L. Hall, who has been in Hollywood acting as double for Clark Gable, has kindly consented to make a personal appearance at our theatre while he is here on a vacation. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Suates and children, Sally Ann and Wesley Jr., motored to Pinhook Sunday after- noon to visit relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Otis McCombs left Sunday for Columbia, Mo., where their son, Cub Jr., has been expell- ed from the University for disobey- ing dating hours. Mr. and Mrs. McCombs intend to settle the mat- ter and have young Cub back in school at the beginning of the year. fMrs. McCombs is better known as Lois Young.J Mr. Robert Lawler has gone to Miami, Florida, for his health. He plans to be gone three months. CWe hear he is nursing a broken heart.J Mr. and Mrs. Nin. Edmonston, who are here on an extended visit report that while driving through Death Valley in California they suffered intensely from the high altitude and the extreme cold. Miss Helen Abbott has gone to Icy Point, Florida, for the winter sports. She is expecting to enter the snow-shoe contest and doubt- less she will be greatly aided by her flat feet. Moon Lambert has returned from Montreal, Canada. He tells us that his hotel was raided by prohibition oiiicers, and as a result he was the guest of the city for several weeks, being entertained by the chief-of-police and his staff Since Montreal was bone dry, he says it is good to be back at dear ol' Rushville. Mrs. Winters entertained at a coming-out party for her daughter, Miss Marion, last Saturday. Miss Marion has been confined to her home for the last six weeks with the whooping-cough, mumps, meas- les, and chicken-pox. gmnuuuunununuuuunnlnnnunnnnuunnnnmun-nu r nnnnrnmmnnininIluininnnunninvununnnunnnnn- This Space is Respectfully Dedicated to Our Fighting Basketball Team Q For Having Won Our Invitation Tournament RAH 1 RAH z RAH 2 RUSHVILLE 2 8 R.

I like your little winning ways, I love your pearly teeth, I like the way you crunch your food And masticate your beefg I love the way your voice can get That sort of little hum, But gee! what gets me down, my dear, Is how you chew your gum! Mr. Schramm: Now, Lucille, if I were 17 and you were 12, what would be the difference in our ages? Lucille Gillenwater: How old did you say you were?

How To Live To Be 150 Years Old Suggested by Clyde Thompson Don't attend wild parties. Bathe at least three times a week. Be careful of extra cold showers. Don't fail to exercise, especially front bending. Don't stay up late at night. Don't use tobacco in any form. Keep away from women. You may not live to be 150 years old but it will seem that long, is the sage comment of Penny really had red hair? Russell Trone caught up on his sleep? Everyone came to General Ex on time? Mickey Miressi was an Irish- man? This was really humorous? THE CRACKER BOX -A. CRUMBE- Bill Long, a mischievous lad, threw a stone and struck Mr. Pitt in the alley last Tuesday. Cecil Cunningham climbed the roof of his house last week looking for a leak and fell striking himsel on the back porch. Gerald Palmer was playing with his cat when it scratched him on the veranda. Russell Bonser, while harnessing a broncho last Saturday, was kick- ed just south of the corn crib. Charles Armstrong, after his course in Physiology, was heard to remark, I know where my liver is, but where is my bacon? One day this spring Leslie Day was watching chicks hatch. After a while Les wrinkled up his nose and queried, What gets me is how they got in the shell. During a discussion on birds in Biology class, Loren Kinsey inno- cently inquired of Miss Barton, What do the storks use their beaks for? Glen Akers tells us that an ex- ample of wasted energy is telling a hair-raising story to a bald-headed man. Did you know that Lyle Ward was so smart in Chemistry that he has the acids eating out of his hand? Harold Boyd informs us that his idea of nothing at all is a bladeless Clyde. 1 knife without a handle. Rotten, said the apple. Corking, said the bottle. Cracked, said the nut.
