They worked hard to perfect their game and their efforts enabled them to start their playing season with a dashing victory over Plano. They exacted their toll from the boys across the creek with a score of 12-11. After this came a series of successful games, some of them the best basktball contests ever witnessed on the S. T. H. S. floor. While we were unable to win the Little Ten shield at Waterman we considered it a very successful tournament for us. The hardest and best played game of the meet was between Earlville and Sandwich from which we emerged scant victors. This was the banner game of the season, Earlville having won from us twice earlier in the season, and our victory was due only to great improvement and hard work on the part of the coach and the team. We were honored this year by being placed in Class A at the district tournament in Aurora. We drew a hard schedule; however, we defeated Naperville but were beaten by West Aurora. We consider the 192 basket-ball season a success both from the number of games won and the spirit shown by the team and rooters. The cheering of the fans wras a great improvement over all former years, loyalty and clean sportsmanship being predominant at all contests. Three places will be left open by the trio of senior letter men who graduate. Their positions, however, will be filled by their understudies who are coming on in a very commendable way. We wish all success to the basket-ball team and rooters of 1925-26. Page Twenty seven

+•------- € t)C 1925 ■+ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION—Continued from Page 19 One of the finest accomplishments was the placing of athletics on a sound financial basis. Due to the community support of athletics, and careful managing by the treasurer, all bills were paid, some old debts wiped out, and a surplus left for next year. This is indeed a fine record. Nevertheless, we intend to better it next year. SENIOR PLAY—Continued from page 20 As long as Mr. King was in business he had to have a manager and it was no other than Adam Smith (Arthur Hill.) Even though he was a bit old-fashioned at first he proved to be a stem but loving father (especially to Eva) when he and Mr. King changed places. Last but by no means the least was attractive Connthia, (Harriet Paine) the maid. She was the sort who stayed with the family for a lifetime, through thick and thui, and was rather romantic at times, too. All in all, it was a great play. The audience proclaimed it a success, due mostly to our capable coach. Miss Hennis, who gave willingly of her time to make Adam and Eva ’ the success it proved to be. This play proved to be quite popular, as Sycamore and Elburn also presented it. SCHOOL YEAR With all the outside activities of S. T. H. S. the scholastic average has been maintained at its former height. Busy students are the best students and our record spells our glory. It is with sorrow that the Seniors are bidding the old school ‘adieu’’ instead of “au revoir. The other classes have much to anticipate in another and still better school year. GETTING OUT AN ANNUAL Getting out an annual is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we are silly. It we don t print them, we are too serious. If we print original matter, they say we lack variety. It we publish things from other papers people say we arc too lazy to write. If we stay on the job, we ought to be out hustling news. If we are hustling news, we ought to be attending to business in our department. It we don t print all contributions, we don't show a proper appreciation. If we do print all contributions, the annual is filled with junk. Like as not some fellow will say we swiped this from an exchange—So we did.” Teacher: Ghildren, what is the most useful animal in the world? Little Mose: Chicken is de usefulest animal there is.
