Through four long years of striving, Behind a School's closed doors, T11ey're issuing forth to see What the Future holds in store. A career is the goal for many, And many mistakes have been made, But through the years of learning, There, a foundation was laid. Robed in caps and gowns of black, With faces bright to see, Their memory wanders back To the scenes that used to be. And now with honor, faith and hope, As you follow the trend of life, Remember the lines of the poet, Be a hero in the strife 2 -Carmen Harris. ,-.

MABEL JEFFERS Speech is silver, silence is golden. CLASS HISTORY In late August of the year 1924, a hundred and four young freshies in various states of confusion and betraying slight traces of greenness, reported to the Sullivan Township High School to register for their work during the coming school term. All of them were caught in the deadly snares of English and Algebra and some of the un- wary forfeited what freedom of thought that was left to them by adding Latin as one of the electives. The following Monday, we QI say we because I was one of this mot- ley groupj all came back to school for business. Bebore the bell rang we all stood around in the halls futily trying to appear at ease like the Sophomores and in our fail- ure acting all the more like Freshmen. The bell soon rang calling us to the assembly where we listened to a talk by Mr. Brown, the principal. There being nothing in our heads to stop this speech. it went in one ear and out the other. Ten minute classes were held that morning and every teacher assigned us a lesson. This was a supreme shock- the overwhelming blow, in all our experience we had never been forced to start work so abruptly. The next day our seats and coat hooks were assigned to us, and since all the time-taking preliminaries were over we got down to work in earnest. Another good reason for this was that the teachers were forcing us. That first year was somewhat quiet after the first few days as far as we were concerned. Our only accomplishment of note was that we furnished first string men for the football and basketball teams. The next year seventy-five of us came back with that cockshure and secure feeling that is so characteristic of Sophomores. During the first few weeks of school, we spent so much time in seeing that this year's Freshmen were properly house broke that we almost lost out ourselves. At the end of the first semester, our good friend, Mr. Brown, who had so ably led us this far in our career, resigned his position. Mr. Tice took his place and, although he was handicapped by starting in at this time of the year, the school has continued to improve under his successful administration. This year of our high school life came to a quiet close and we left one bright day in May with visions of coming back next year as Juniors. At the beginning of our Junior year, forty-seven had dropped by the way-side, fifty-seven now being the number on our class roll. This year we were really import- ant. We were an organized class having class officers. Early in the first semester we gave the play, Agatha's Aunt. Our big affair this year was the throwing of a ban- quet for the Seniors. Now we are Seniors. A little less than fifty have come back this year. The grad- uation exercises that will take place in a few months will mark the end of the history of the class and will also bring to an end one of the happiest and most instructive periods of our lives. -Mac Grigsby CLASS WILL We, the members of the class of 1928 of the Sullivan Township High School of the city of Sullivan, County of Moultrie, State of Illinois, being of sound and disposing mind and memory do declare this our last will and testament hereby revoking all other wills made by us. To the Juniors, we give and bequeath all our castles in Spain, to be inhabited by them free of charge as long as these castles exist in livable condition. They must be occupied entirely at the risk of the legatees and no accident to life or limb may be an excuse for exhortation from other beneficiaries. To the Sophomores we give. bequeath and divise all the mistakes we have ever made. This is the most important bequest because by our mistakes we learn more than ever comes to us ir: any other way and if our mistakes are so beneficent, how much more so must be those of others when they are our property. To the Freshmen we bequeath all our well known tact and powers of saying the right word in the right place. The Freshmen, as everyone knows need this bequest more than any other branch of the High School. To the faculty we give and bequeath several bottles of hair dye to darken the grey hairs we have caused.

I. Tice. MYSTIC MAGIC Ah, the pleasure it gives me to visit the crystal gazerl The secrets he unfolds be- fore me, the mysteries he solves make me feel that he is a being of inconceivable wis- dom and genius. His eyes are hypnotizing, his words spell-binding. He makes one forget the past and present and see only the glorified future. A future so gay for some, and so dull for others. He charms me with his magic and makes me see beyond the abyss that divides present from future, with his softly flowing, liquid voice. Hark! he speaks, I see in this magic cysta.l medium things that will startle, things that will delight, and things that will make you sad and Weary. I behold a future in which all your friends are revealed. First, I see musical instruments, I even hear the music, rousing and full of rhythm. As the vision grows clearer, the musicians become recognizable. The leader of this band, for band it is, and a rival of Sousa's, is Wallace Ritchey, an imposing man of great ability. Each member of this marvelous company is a musician of note. I am glad to say two of these members are known to you. The first, Everett Drew, is at the drums, and the second, Glenn Clark, is a musician known throughout the world. As this scene fades into dim shadows and finally disappears, another view of times to be comes to me. A school this time, a high school in a town grown momentious. It is Sullivan Township High School with many additions and al- terations. The principal you will be interested in knowing is none other than Stanley Bragg, a man of marvelous ability. It is said by others in this crystal, that he has been offered positions in the foremost colleges in America but due to a love for his old school he has remained with it. Faculty members of this institution of learning who are known to you are: Clifton Bolin, head of the English department, Blanche Hall, commercial department, Florence Engle, biology department, Hildreth Walker, bas- ketball coach, John Hollonbeck, football coach, Anna Bell DeVore, head of music de- partment, Elta Collins, historyg Mary Elizabeth Leeds, Latin. The scene becomes more vivid, and it shifts from one class room to another. Now, I see Miss Leeds, much fear- ed and noted for the order she keeps in class and the number of students graduating from her classes who are unable to speak or write a word of that dead, but not forgot- ten, tongue. Then a view of the gymnasium is allowed me. I see a little man holding a basket ball in his hand, surrounded by an admiring group of boys. As this fades the much admired football coach appears. His wonderful example leads many high school boys to noble manhood. The school becomes indistinct, and as it leaves, a little shoppe glows in the shining crystal. It is a shoppe of distinction, owned and managed by Madame Dimi, formerly known as Maxine Robertson. A frock purchased from Dimi is sure to please, for all the designing is done by either Dimi herself or her designer of marked fame, Mantol, known to you as Homer Johnson. As the view becomes brighter I behold the beautiful models in the Dimi Shoppe. Among them I behold Alberta Monroe and Rosie Graven, models of proved ability. The scene becomes too bright and is snatched away, but slowly, tantalizingly, a new sight forms. There is rythmical movement, up, down, out, in. What is it? Ah, now I see, now it is intelligible. It is a gymnasium filled with women. The leader of the exercises that at the moment are being performed, is Clau- dia Yarnell- She, in clear, crisp tones calls the count for the movements of the group before her. The sparkle in her eye tells me that she is in love with her work, and is seriously trying to keep up the health of hor associates. Among those before her, I see Agnes Wright, who is trying to keep fit for her nerve racking position as coin collector for the first millionaire to arrive in Sullivan. He is unknown to you, but it might be of interest to you to know that, as revealed here, his charming and gracious wife is the former Miss Carmen Harris. Others I see in the gym Whom you know are, Mable J effers, a night club hostess, Olive Hoskins, a beauty specialist, and Doris Graven, a stenographer. Among them a.lso see you, -Miss Finley, the sole owner of the Forest Hill Kennels, home of the popular beetle hounds. Another of the group is Grace Cody, morning announcer for radio station WBIM, Sullivan, Illinois. As the gymnasium scene fades from sight, I behold notables, people renouned throughout the world. They come into view slowly, only to shine on my sight and then become invisible. First appears Lucia I-Iarshman, the foremost writer of poetry in the future. Ah, her lovliness holds me in enchantment, no wonder she writes poetry! An- other person of literary fame is George Thompson. He is proclaimed through all the world as a second O'Henry. Next is seen a man, tall and handsome. He is speaking to multitudes. Who is he? Why he is President of the United States, Vern Kellar. As no man could be great without hiring' a cook of marked ability, Mr. Kellar has employ- ed a new White'House cook, Miss Rozetta McKim. She is not only famous for her knowledge of cookery but also for her knowledge of dietetics. Another man of fame appears before me. This time, an inventor, a man with a temperament. His name is George Hoke, and he deserves his place among the notables for his invention of a nut cracker, patented in 1933. He leaves and still more people of marked renown ap- proach. They are Elda Wallace and Genevieve Daum, known by nations far and wide as the most loved radio entertainers the U. S. has ever produced. Miss Wallace's readings with piano accompaniment by Miss Daum thrill thousands of enthusiastic listeners. Still another person of great achievements is making an appearance. I see a desk with a busy man seated before it. He has a very important air about him. He is Joseph Ashbrook, editor of the largest newspaper in Kansas City, The Kansas City Star. His editorials are reprinted in papers and magazines all over the United States. His article entitled, Why Young Men Leave Home is his most valued work. There is a long pause now, the systal is bare of pictures. Has it lost its power? Am I losing my sight? No-I behold faint shadows, and glimpses of roonns done in white. What is it now? There are beds and a prevailing atmosphere of peace. Oh, now I understand, it is a hospital. The crisply dressed nurses bustling about make me sure there is an important case on the operating table. I see the table now, and a still form makes me afraid to look. But I gather my courage and the patient proves to be George Sabin, a worker in a laundry who has had his ear riddled by a bullet from the gun of the well known minister, Robert Carter. Reverend Carter upon realizing that Mr. Sabin had stole from him the love of a beautiful chorus girl, Gertrude Davis, pro- ceeded to get revenge on the unlucky gentleman. The much admired surgeon stand- ing by the table is Dr. Charles Buxton and his assistant is Dr. Gerald Cazier. Dr. Bux- ton is so swift and sure in delicate operations his services are sought by all who can pay the fees. His hospital is also known for the efficiency of the nurses. I see hover- ing about the operating table Miss Mallinson, a nurse of marked talent, and another, Miss Clark, also of great ability. They are always chosen for important or difficult cases, as the one at present on the table. I see the head nurse visiting one of the wards. Her name is Opal Burcham. In the ward she first visited is a man you may have known. His name is Russell Freemon, a taxi driver who is temporarily disabled by be- ing cast against the top of his taxi, fracturing his skull. With this view the scene changes and I see a hot dog stand. It is owned and op- erated by Olive Dazey and Irene Mattox. They have proved very successful finacially but as I see them they wear very indignant expressions. Their stand is being closely watched by a lady with a determined air. She is a prohibition agent, Letha Ledbetter, and is the most feared by bootleggers of all others in her occupation. She says she at- tributes her success to the fact that she looks not in likely places for liquor, but in the most unlikely places. Next I see a gentleman and a lady. The gentleman is a well known soap manu- facturer, Mac Grigsby, and the lady, his secretary, Miss Mabel Henderson. Mr. Grigs- by discovered the formula for his famous Kleen Ez soap while trying to perfect a for- mula for Hea powder. Another success in the business world I see, is Mr. Dale Landers, the head of a chain of seed stores. He attributes his success to the wonderful influence of his wife Lois D. Landers. They fade away. Now what next will be prophesied by the mystic crystal? Ah, there will be no more, the prophecy is complete. Ten dollars please-I thank you. -Evalyn Finley A SOLILOQUY' Here is the place, right past the park Runs the road I tookg You can see the crack in the fence post still, That my Lizzie chanced to hook. There the school, as we see it at noon, And the noisy hallg And the office long feared, and the assembly room, And the kick initials all over the wall. A year has gone, as the tortose goes, Heavy and slow, And some kick work, and a lot more shirk, Just as we did a year ago. There is the same old powder smell in the place, And the darn June Fly Tangles his wings of fire on your face Biting as then at Sullivan High. Since we departed, a year has passed To us a day But now with regret we look back at last At the chances we foolishly let get away. -Mac Grigsby 0 r L 541 A-I. -X Q JEEJEEQQ 4 C1 'ED JOLLY JUNIORS First Scene First Teacher-Is this a battle they're having out here '!

Sources of our information Range from Prof. Tice down to Ifheshmanz The result of this is plain to see, We're the liveliest class of old S. T.

On the gridiron we've gathered fame, In basketball we've left our name. Soph Warriors, fighters, every one, What! Yellow? Meaning known to none. All clean fighters, game to the end, Nought like them against to contend. On the field, a Soph has the ball, Over the line! Then praise by ally In the gym, a shot through the net, Or a winning throwgg Soph? You bet! Athletics take both skill and Wit, In both of these the Sophs have IT - And How! We study hard and fight to win, And always finish what we begin. We're not angels-we have nine or ten Masculine women and feminine men Whose manners and breaks -amuse us too much To gain us the title of Solemn or one such. Then, too, the Sophs have humor and vim, And chances to pass them in these are slim.

The Ag. Club is not made of iron or brass but of good solid country boys who have not lost sight of some of the more important things of life. To feed the world is no little man's job, and we are indebted to any person who uses time and energy, either by work or study, by way of feeding the world. These boys have studied agriculture, the oldest and the newest science. They are, in fact, country gentlemen, defined in the words of Eugene Davenport as men who work with their hands, who gather about them all of the good things of civilization and who are good members of their community.

We de- feated them by a score of 19 to 0. The touchdowns were made by Lundy and Hosteter October 1-Lovington-Sullivan Our first Okaw Valley game was a victory for us. It was with our old rival, Lov- ington. Our only touchdown was made by a pass to Hosteter. The field was very muddy and most of the ground was gained through the line. October 8-Arthur-Sullivan . After two victories came a period of several defeats. Arthur's two touchdowns were made after fumbles on our part. There are breaks in all football games so that is to be expected. October 22-Tuscola-Sullivan The longer we played the worse we became. The coach and squad motored to Tuscola to return with another 42 to 0 defeat. Bob Sullivan, Hollonbeck, and Walk- er all received some injuries in this game. October 29--Bement-Sullivan Everyone was wondering what the score would be, because Bement had a strong team and five of Sullivan's regular players were out due to injuries. At the end of the first half four second team and a few of the regulars held Bement to a scorless tie. This looked good, but before the next half was over our men were exhausted, so two touchdowns and an extra point were made by Bement. November 5-Arcola-Sullivan We next motored to Arcola for our last defeat which was 26 to 0. The same team started this game that played in the last one. The two teams seemed to be rather even- ly matched in weight and speed but we seemed to lack the necessary power to carry the ball over. November 1 l-Shelbyville-Sullivan Our last game of the season was with Shelbyville, our old rival. We defeated them by a score of 12 to 0. The touchdowns were made by Hosteter and Hollonbeck. Before the game was over a storm came up from the west and the fans were compelled to seek shelter. SECOND TEAM GAMES Decatur Central-Sullivan Seconds The Junior High team from Decatur was too strong for Sullivan's light weighters. They defeated us by a score of 20 to 0 on the Decatur field. Arthur Seconds-Sullivan Our light weight team defeated Arthur Seconds in fine shape the first game. The final score being 12 to 0. It was a different story on the return visit as they defeated us 20 to 0. FOOTBALL PERSONNEL End Freemon, W. Smith, D. Landers, Pearson Tackle - - - Hogue, E. Bolin, Taylor Guard - Nedden, Wm.

BASKET BALL REVIEW The team that represented our school this year was made up, with the exception of one man, of new material. Nevertheless, with a group of determined boys, we were able to have a fairly successful team, The basketball schedule this year consisted of seventeen games and three tourna- ments. The majority of the games were played away from home. Of the seventeen games played we were able to be victorious in ten of them. Although We Were defeat- ed in some of the games, the boys were clean, hard-fighting players. There are three men that play their last basketball for the Red and Black, but other men on the squad who can play almost as good as the ones that are leaving will be here next year.

He is the type of man that sets a good example for the boys. Coach Dennis has the necessary qualities to make a good coach. In college he received a let- ter in almost every kind of sport. In the past year, athletic material for Sullivan has been rather scarce, but with the tireless work of our coach, we have been able to have a winning team. WENZEI.. NEDDEN- Weasel Captain Nedden filled the guard position very well. His ability to receive the ball on the rebound and pass out for a fast-break was hard to beat. He had an eye for the basket and scored in many of the games. Our efficient captain was chosen as all- star guard on the second team in the district tournament. VERN KELLAR- Kellar ' Kellar at the center position was very reliable and was especially valuable as a follow-shot man. He played in every game and aways was among the high scorers. He was chosen as all star center of the first team in the Okaw Valley Tournament and re- ceived honorable mention in the county tourney. JOHN HOLLONBECK- Johnny Johnny was a fast guard and when the opponent shot, he always got the ball off the back board and out to the forward in double-quick time. He is a senior and will be greatly missed next year. GLEN LUNDY- Heavy Heavy , although not a regular, made a very good sub in case one of the regu- lar guards fouled out or was not playing his best. Much is expected of him in the next two years. . DONALD PEARSON- Don Don was just a freshman this year but was commonly seen on the basketball Hoor. He played either center or forward in first class shape. He should show up well next year. JOHN SMITH- Smitty Smitty played a fast game of ball at the forward position. He was especially good at handling the ball and working it down the Hoor. He has three more years in this school and should be an important factor in Sullivan's future basket ball teams. He made the second all star team as forward in the Okaw Valley Tournament and the first all star forward in the county tourney. HILDRETH WALKER- Hilly I-lilly was almost least but not last. He had an eye for the basket and scored on many occasions. He was an outstanding player in the Bethany game at that place. WAYNE SMITH- Smitty Smitty , although handicapped by his weight, was a good forward. I-Ie didn't play in all of the games due to a stone bruise , but when he did play, he made up for lost time. Smitty had a way af handling the ball that was noticed by every one. Y W OKAW VALLEY TOURNAMENT The first annual Okaw Valley Tournament was held at Tuscola the second, third, and fourth of February. Much interest was manifested by a large crowd of fans at each session. The following teams were entered: Arcola, Arthur, Atwood, Oakland, Bement, Newman, Tuscola, Lovington, Monticello, Villa Grove, and Sullivan. Sullivan, considered A Dark Horse , came home with a second place trophy. De- feating both Monticello and Villa Grove, respectively, we went to the finals with Be- ment. ln one of the best games of the tourney Bement beat us by a small margin. In a consolation game Villa Grove defeated Lovington for third place. MOULTRIE COUNTY TOURNAMENT The dope was upset again this year in the county tourney when Windsor won first with Bethany following a close second. All the teams of the tournament were evenly matched. The fans took much interest in the tournament. Arthur carred home the honors in the tourney held for the second teams. Sulli- van seconds went to the finals but were defeated. A large silver basket ball mounted on a pedestal was presented to the winners of the first team game, while a shield was given to the second team for their superior playing. THE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The Millikin Gymnasium, at Decatur, was crowded with people on the eighth, ninth, and tenth of March to witness the Annual District Tournament. Many dope setters were again disappointed when Latham, who was considered an under dog came through and won the tournament. Although Sullivan lost out in their second game they played two of the teams that were considered among the best. They first upset Bethany, the winners of the tour- ney last year and the next day tackled Clinton, the winners of the consolation game for third place. The second game was fast and the score was about the same for both teams until the last two minutes. Arthur played Latham in the final game for the title, but were defeated.

Phil Conrad reported for football practice at Woodward High at the beginning of the season. Practice for the first few nights was light. Coach Bradly worked the men only about' an hour every evening, sending them through signal practice. The first game of the season was only two weeks off. Coach Bradly informed Phil that he fthe coachj would start him in the first game at the end position and that if he could control his temper he would hold the position all the season. Woodward's first game with Bement was considered only a practice game. Wood- ward won the game and everyone was happy but Phil and Coach Bradly. Phil had been put out of the game for fouling a Bement player who had tripped him after a time out The act was caused by his temper. Practice went ahead at Woodward. Coach Bradly did not say anything to Phil. Another boy replaced Phil at end. Finally, just before the most important game of the season, with Arthur, Coach Bradly agreed to give Phil one more chance. One of the Arthur players was Freddy Brown, a former Woodward player. Fred- dy delighted in making sneering remarks to Phil in order that he might cause Phil to lose his temper. In a former game he had succeeded, but would he this time? This was the question that confronted Phil. At last the day of the game with Arthur came. Phil was nervous during the first few minutes of the game. When he trotted on the field cheers arose from the crowd, for everyone was glad to see him back in his old place. Just before the opening whistle Freddy Brown jeered at him, Well, here's my old friend with the cool temper. How long do you think you will last in this Man's game ? During the first few minutes of play Phil forgot Freddy. He played an excellent game. At the half neither team had scored. Now, all Phil had to do was to control his temper another half. Just before the fourth quarter Phil saw Freddy toss something toward his QPhil'sJ face. Phil rolled over on the field gritting his teeth in pain, as the doctor bathed his eye. Soon, after the lime which Freddy had thrown into his eye had been washed out, he reentered the game. Anger rose within Phil. There was Freddy at a short distance away with a sneering smile across his face. Phil made a lunge toward him, but stopped before he had taken two steps. The game progressed and Freddy kept up his ugly talk. Phil heard a particularly familiar signal. The quarterback began an end run, then passed the ball to Phil. He was off. It had been so unexpected that Freddy had stood surprised and help- less, his mouth open in the middle of an insulting phrase. Phil raced down the field dodging, back-tracking, whirling and straight-arming. He passed the Arthur safety man and the goal line. Phil had not only won the game for Woodward but he had won control over his temper. If a person could conquer all obstacles in life, as Phil did his temper, he would succeed, therefore my first ambition is to be able to conquer my faults as Phil did his temper. -Vernon Elder. lN HEAVEN The other day I had the most interesting and delightful experience of changing my residence from earth to heaven. Knowing you people and your actions as I do, I know that none of you will ever get to take this trip for yourself 3 so I will .tell you all about the place up here. While writing, my intentions are to seal this message up in a metal tube and drop it down 0.1 the earth. The last thing I remember on earth is lighting a match to see how much gas was left in the tank. Just as I struck the match, the automobile and every other thing earthly vanished. In the place of the automobile there was a beautiful golden carri- age. As I got in the carriage I noticed that the tires had this marking on them. Ab- solutely puncture proof. QQuite heavenly wasn't it?J All the time I had heard faint music and it grew louder and louder as the carriage drew nearer my destination. Af- ter a while I came to a beautiful golden gate all glowing with pearls. On the gate was the following inscription, Main St. Pearly Gate, notice, do not talk to gatekeeperf' Beside the gate stood a man dressed in long white robes and carrying a big golden key. He acted as if he was expecting me, and opening the gate for me to enter, he said, Hurry up and get in there. I've been hanging around here all day waiting to let you in, and I had to break a date with the cutest angel in heaven just because you were late. As I came into heaven the first thing I noticed was that the place was planned just like the cities on earth. The only difference was that the angel merchants were giving away their merchandise instead of selling it. The first establishment I came to was the wing store. In this store I was fitted out with a beautiful pair of wings and some long white robes. The first thing I did after getting back on the street was to making some fruitless attempts to Hy. While Hopping around, I bumped into the cutest little angel girl you ever saw. When I apologized for my awkwardness, she smiled sweetly and said, That's all right, kid. I understand, you're new here. I'm busy right now, but if you'll be here on this corner this afternoon at three, I'1l teach you to Hy. Would I be there, you know I would. She was the prettiest angel you ever ' X saw. X Being in a happy state of mind at this time, I walked down to the harp store and got myself a harp. Across the street was a place where music lessons were given, so I went across and learned to play a few of the heavenly popular pieces. Going down the street a few steps, I found a public stenographer, that was, some cute angel. I wanted to talk to her anyway, so I started dictating to her, this letter that you are reading. Well, I guess I'll have to quit and go to dinner now, because Gabriel just blew the mess call on his trumpet. -Mac Grigsby. A BALLAD Eating his bowl of milk and bread, On the doorstone rude and grayg Sat thoughtful, serious, wondering, Ted, At the close of a pleasant day. He looked at a low star shining bright, He reached out his hand for itg I am sure, he said, I could touch it to-night, By walking a little bit. With only his dog he slipped away To watch and wonder and roam. He followed the bright star's glittering ray Away from his chi1dh0od's home. And the dog came home with the morning sun And gladly they clasped him too But never a word from the missing one Came to those hearts so true. -Paul Harshman.

If she is singular, you become nomina- tive. You walk across to her changing to the verbal and then becoming dative: if she is not objective, you become plur- al. You walk home together. Her brother is an indefinite article and her mother is accusative and becomes imper- ative. You talk of the future and the girl becomes the object. Her father be- comes present and you become the past participle. Mr. Tice Cln civicsj- Name the dif- ferent parts of the Constitution.

Mr. Moore- You can use my defin- ition or the one in the bookg they are equally good. Freda- Do you think a girl should be true to her first love ? Faye- Certainly, if she can remem- ber who he is. Colleen H.- Say, Donald, why is that old hen in your yard cackling so ? Don P.- They just laid a corner stone up town and she wants to make me think she laid it. What is the hardest thing about ice skating when you are learning, asked Alice. The ice answered Paul. When you wonder why we don't get some new jokes, just remember that there are only seven jokes in the coun- try and every RETROSPECT tries to get six of them every issue! -George Sabin. 5SGBi5Q5K5E'2sGBi5Q3Z53BhQGN55N'.?l85GBi9 5 5 CT e Su wan Pro ress Q ll. Q Sf-3 B W In the year 1856 a newspaper was started in Sullivan. It has con- so Us tinued to serve the community to this day. That newspaper is The Sulli- lil!-2 van Progress. Q During the 72 years of its existence it has been the voice of this community. It has recorded all events of interest that have transpired 6 here. It has told the world about SulIivan's victories and about its 5 griefs. It has recorded work of construction and destruction. Regularly each week it has been a welcomed visitor in the homes of Q its subscribers, whom it sought to serve. S25 It has lived through good times and through hard times. It has fig never enriched anybody financially, neither has it sent its servants into bankruptcy. 5 Nine years ago on June lst the present management secured con- trol through purchase. It has been our aim to be worthy to manage The Q Sullivan Progress, not only as a business venture but as an institution that has for so long a time played an important part in the life of this 35? community. We seek not to abide by tradition or precedent, but to gf strike boldly and to keep The Progress abreast of the times, a spokes- ! man, advocating always the best interests of Sullivan and Moultrie 5 county. On this basis we respectfully solicit your good will and the pleas- Q ure of serving you. 7 Ed C. Brandenburqer 5 Publisher Q WGMEQNSWQQGKSERQMQSNSRDQQNSR .2 - L Jw: ,V -5. ,119 f.

Its branches were loving arms in which one loved to be rocked to sleep. Its blossoms were perfumers who delighted in putting forth their best, and its sap filled heart was always true. I remember how, in the spring time, I would sit for uncounted hours in the gently swaying branches, with my mind filled with dreams. I was only half seeing the loveliness about me, but I was fully aware of the atmosphere of the place, and fully conscious of the peaceful abandon that filled my veins. I naw little of the beauty of the scene but I absorbed it into my very soul. I know this for still I can feel the throb of pleasure I had, see the things I unconsciously saw, and hear the sounds I heard. The hum of the gently swaying branches, the happy chirp of a bird resting a moment on an outstretched twig, and the farway crow. of a young rooster, telling all the world that he is happy, all are even more vivid in my mind now than they were then. Now that the time is past, and the tree is dead, my heart aches to be again rest- ing in the enchantment and infinite peace of those kindly branches. I long to sit there again oblivious of time, with nothing to make me feel the need of hurrying away, and nothing to occupy my mind but impossibly sweet dreams of the time to come. -Evalyn Finley. A LONELY scams I guess it is not unnatural that, since sad music appeals to me, sad scenes do too. On dreary, cloudy days when I am feeling rather depressed and lonely, I like to stand and gaze absently upon some scene that fits this mood, so on my way home from school I am apt to linger on the bridge which spans a small creek. Willow trees line the water's edge, and their grey drooping branches weep over it. Trash has been dumped along the bank, but its rust color only adds a master's touch to the desolation of the scene. No rays of cheerful sunlight dance across the still water, but only flick- ering shadows of grey and blue ncstle on its surface. The light silver lace-work of mist clothes everything in a thin cloak of mystery, and all is silent except for the oc- casional, mournful note of a cat bird I would love to lounge back in a cushioned boat on this creek and dream or cry, I don't know which, for as I watch the shadows there, a strange choky feeling comes in my throat, a hopeless longing clutches my heart, and life becomes empty and useless. My very soul seems to reach out to grasp and drink in this scene with all its silent, mel- ancholy beautyg but there is no mortal sense with which I can taste this beauty. I can not realize to any extent whatever, the meaning of such tranquility. With a sigh I rouse myself and start on home but the picture with all its sad loneliness stays with me. In my mind I will see always those grey blue shadows, the bending trees, and the shifting mist, and that lonesome yearning will always creep over me as I seem to hear again the weird song of the cat bird. -Lucia I-Iarshman ALL SCHOOL PLAY The all school play, A Full House , was presented in the high school auditorium, October 28, 1927.
