High Schools and ational Defense Today the United States is engaged in a great war. Its economic order is being thoroughly tested. Each and every citizen is expected to do everything in his power to help his country. lVe have ia great country to defend, and every little that is done to help with its defense is needed. 'The high schools, more than ever before, play a major role in preparing for their country's defense. Some mayiask: 'flVhat do the high schools contribute to the defense of our country? High schools are merely institutions of education. lVhat good is an education when we have to fight? To answer these questions, we can point out that the war of today is a war of science, a war of the air, and a war of brains. ln this war trained young people are needed very badly. In high school they get the preliminary training that is needed, regardless of whether they go on to college or emerge immediately into work. Remember that the high school students of today are the citizens and leaders of tomorrow. T'he more education and training they get now, the better they will be equipped to do a good job later on. lt should be the goal of every -high school student to get as much out of his education as he possibly can. The high school students have also been using their extra change to buy defense stamps. Although the amount is not large, it is an expression on the part of the students, that they can and will do theirpart for their country. There is, or there will be a need for farm hands. ln order to meet this need, several of the high schools in agricultural districts have shortened their school year and will close a month before their original schedule. Sullivan Township High School is cooperating in this movement. 'XVl1ile our country is engaged in a great war, our high school students are conducting a war against waste. Pencils, erasers, and paper are being used carefully and economically. lVe, the students of the Sullivan Township High School, pledge ourselves to do our best in helping with the defense of our country. lVe are proud to live in such a country as the United States of America, and we shall not let her down. 7fae 194.2 llebwfifzecl' Sullivan Township High School Sullivan, Illinois REDSKIN EDITION SENIOR CLASS H O W I ! 1 AM CHIEF SULLINOIS I represmnt the many lnuvu wzu-rim-s who llilV0 lmttlwl to l'0f2llIl our SlllDl'l1llli1l'.V in Moulfriv flllllllfj' :xml Olazlw X alley.

Tl1e curricula of the Sullivan High School may be divided into two general classes-arts and sciences, the former including music and languages, while tl1e latter deals with physical, social, and commercial sciences, and ,ma'then1atics. 'Al- though these courses offered in our school are more of a general nature, they do serve as introductions to the more specialized worlds of business, industry, and education. The endeavor on the part of this school is to determine the varying abilities of students and to promote further development of their talents. YVith this goal in mind, the various departments offer their wares in the market 'of education, and perhaps it is proper at this time to try to give a general impres- sion of their work. ' The languages, English and Latin, are taught so that the students may learn to condense their thoughts and to express them effectively. In tl1e present day of abbreviations and short-cuts, the language itself must be to- the point in order Page 7' to keep in step with the rest of the world. For variation from the technical side, and for inducing profitable and enjoyable use of leisure time, the appreciation of literature finds its way into our language courses. 'The music department strives to increase the appreciation of music among the students, Classes in choral and instrumental music provide entertainment for school activities and for local functions in addition to entering in competitive work with other schools. Such activities serve as stimuli and increase the ability of the students to cooperate. A goodly portion of the reward that music brings is in the pleasure that it gives the students both now and after their years at S.'l'.H.S. are over. Social science becomes increasingly important in times such as the present. In training the students of today to cope with the world of tomorrow, courses in history, civics, and economics analyze and record trends and sequences of events in a way that their application will be of practical value in the future. Mathematics, too, finds an increasing part to play in tl1e scheme of tomor- row. The courses offered in this division are designed to give the students a prac- tical knowledge of mathematics-one that will give them independence and under- standing of the World which involves them. Increasing emphasis is being placed on everyday use of mathematics, this application, after all, is far broader in its span, while of course, the use of higher mathematics in the world of industry and commerce speaks for itself. Undoubtedly the study of physical science finds as much application in every- day life as any other one division of training offered in our curricula. YVhen one considers the many new developments in the World of today, it seems imperative that each person should become familiar with his environment. Although the work-offered in the Sullivan High School serves as an introduction to the more advanced developments in the world of science. they give the high school gradllatc an understanding of how to use these developments and his own resources to better advantage. The commercial courses perhaps could be called the most, nearly specialized of any subjects introduced in S.'I'.II.S. The training offered along these lines fills a decided place in the business world today, and of course, as tl1e worlds of com- merce and industry spread, so the need for executive training evolves. Page 8 elafided 253 Qi Q 4 Seniafz Saga lVhen we entered STHS in the fall of '38, we did not feel like warriors. lVe were amazed and bewildered for a few weeks and then we suddenly found that this was a pretty nice place. VVe elected Bill Kidwell president, and Juanita Almquist was our homecoming queen. Bedford Bozell was our only football man. VVe were represented by Myrna Stricklan and Evelyn Howard in the Homecom- ing play. Thus the largest class ever to enter the S.T.H.S. completed their Fresh- man year. As we started our Sophomore year, we were at ease and ready to help the Freshmen learn the ropes. Our medicine man was Miss Body. George Light was tl1e able president and Dorothy Elder was our queen. Joyce Yarnell, VVarren Hall, and Myrna Stricklan did their bit in the Homecoming play. Vivacious Icca Reeser was elected cheer leader. Our athletes were Orris Punches, football, Bill Kidwell and Elwood Aldridge, basketball, and Earl Bragg, track. As proud upperclassmen we began our successful Junior year, with James Lehman as our big chief. lVe honored the Seniors with a Mexican Fiesta. Our class play, ttJune Mad, was presented with Betty Butler, Joyce Yarnell, James Lehman, and Frank Martin in the leading roles. Growing Pains was the homecoming play with Betty Butler, Myrna Stricklan, and Frank Martin playing three leads. Icca Reeser was our bid for homecoming queen. Our operetta repre- sentatives were Myrna Stricklan, June Pifer, and Dale Lee. The four members of our class wl1o were elected to the National Honor Society were Joyce Yarnell, Betty Butler, Bill Kidwell, and VVarren Jenkins. Elwood Aldridge, Charles Atchi- son, lVillard Beals, Charles England, Bruce Frederick, Bill Kidwell, and Orris Punches were are muscle men in football. Those out for basketball were Bill Kidwell, Charles Atchison, Arthur Aylward, Earl Bragg, James Lehman, and James Shields. - As we entered the wide doors of S. T. H. S. on our last 'tfirst day of school, we felt a pang of regret. lVe elected George Light to act as our president again for this year. Our Senior Queen, also elected the Homecoming Queen, was Ruth Brackney, and Bill Kidwell was the Homecoming manager. Several of our class who were in the Homecoming Play were Myrna Stricklan, Betty Butler, Maurice Kimbrough, Marjory Clevenger and Roberta Nicolay. Our letter men for the 1941 football season were Bill Kidwell, Charles Atchison, VVillard Beals, Gail Cochran, Arthur Aylward, Bruce Frederick, Warren Jenkins, James Lehman and Robert Roy. Our representatives on the basketball squad were Bill Kidwell, Charles Atchison, Arthur Aylward, Earl Bragg. James Lehman and James Shields. Our last, and most eventful, high school year was curtailed to some extent by the shortening of the second semester as an aid to national defense. Thus four years of profitable work and play have passed and we are facing the future. Page 9 SENIOR WARRIORS M. ASKEW Transfer Benton. 4 E.

Page 20 LEADERS OF THE TRIBE BILL KIDWELL JOYCE YARNELL This year the entire student body voted to determine the representative Senior boy and girl. This distinct honor has been bestowed upon Bill Kidsvell and Jotvee Yarnell. 'Phe character, records, and aehievements of these two Senior llv2ll'l'l0l'S are unquestionable evidence of their right to this distinr-tion. Roth have been two year members of the National Honor Society. Joyce has been an active band and drum and buble corps member and an able pf1FtiCipHH'f in 3 Hlllllhel' of PlflYs and operettas. She was also the capable Assoeiate Editor of the '42 Retrospect. Bill is certainly of representative ealibre. He is an exeellent student, widely known for his athletic ability, and served as manaffer of the 1942 Homeeomino' 11 8' Bill also served as Captain of the '42 basketball and football teams. U4mgratulations to both of you! Page 21 Page 22 WARRIORS TOO EARL SI-IIELDS, RUTH YOUNG ' Q- '?f', P As we, the Class of '42, look back over our Junior year, we recall a period of sorrow. This came when Ruth Young and Earl Shields had to leave school. XVe wish to dedicate this page to Ruth and Earl. Even though they are not actually graduating with us, in our minds and hearts they will always be members of' the Class of '42, lVe have missed your friendly smiles and quiet ways, Ruth and Earl. May both of you find the trail of happiness and soon be enjoying the best of health. CLASS OF '42 O anna Kawai A QUIVER OF GOLDEN ARR'0WS,' ln the days of old a good warrior was watchful and careful of his preparation for whatever contest or duty he might be called to face. At all times his quiver was to hold a sufficient number of arrows-tried and true-for the time when occasion might demand their use. 'To good old S.T.H.S. our Junior class of '42 is a quiver, and we as individual members are golden arrows ready and willing at all times to uphold the principles thus far learned in our high school days. As in the past. early in the school year, class officers were elected to watch over us and guide our future. Chief Roger Stubblefield as President. Rrave Frank Stevens ag Vice President. Maiden Marilyn Emel as Secretary. Maiden Cupie Risley as Treasurer. As Homecoming Day dawned upon us, we proudly displayed before the eyes of the public our candidate for Queen, Maiden Millie Mae Kidwell. ln the Homecoming Play some of our important personages were represented. 'l hey were Braves, Francis XVhitehurch, Paul Sager, Roger Stubblefieldg Maidens, Pat Poland, and Lois Tichenor. The Sullivan Redskins had the honor of including several Juniors as letter- men during the season of '41. They were Braves, Bob Callahan, Lloyd Campbell, Leland Hughes, Billie Ryherd, and Frankie Stevens. In basketball we had strength for the team too, J. U. tllleaeonj Moore, Russell Drew, and Dan Smith being our main standbys. Cross My Heartl' was our Junior class play presented on December third. New talent was discovered on that night much to the happiness and secret joy of each individual Junior. Last, but by no means least, the Junior-Senior Prom was planned and put on by us April 24th. Weld looked forward to that event ever since the times Weid secretly admired and envied our older brothers and sisters as they made their way to the doors of S.'T.H.S. on their adventurous evenings. It was worth our wait, though, and it will long be a memorable night. As the Seniors of '42 are about to take their departure, We are about to be placed in the shoes of those whom we have so faithfully tagged behind all these years. May their journeys in the future be as fruitful as possible, and may we be able to reap as bountiful harvests as they have done. Many priceless rewards to both ' Page 23 E. Abbott R. Blackwood E.

Trading Post where they intended to exchange labor for knowledge. At the first council, which was under the guidance of Chief Councilor An- nis, the Sophomore Scouts chose Don Hamblin as leader, Don Selock as assistant, Lloyd Leslie to cache the Wampum, Marilyn Baker, who was also honored by being chosen the Sophomore 'Homecoming Queen, as scribe, and Betty Light to arouse the war whoops for the approaching athletic battles. The Sophomore float, which was decorated as a huge orchid with Marilyn Baker upon it, was judged third best. Also, the Sophomore window received fourth place. In the evening event Don Butler and Elma Wirth were Sophomore repre- sentatives in the play. The Sophomore Scouts have contributed actuals and prospectives to football and basketball, especially Bob England who was a steady player on the first football team and second team basketball. Another outstanding basketball player was Gene fTunneyj Punches. 'The S.T.H.S. Tumbling Team, which has been so entertaining this season, had several Sophomore members. The Band, Drum and Bugle Corps, Chorus, Cantata, Quartets and Musical Con- tests drew talent from this group. Having completed their many labors, on the fourth clay of May, they were released to wander on their many different trails. Page 26' 1ARow In Miss Annis. S. Rved. N. Filzpafrivk, XV. 'I'1'ailo1-, F.

But when these same people left the building we saw a faint smile on their faces, and they walked a little more surely. ' Initiation day being over, we felt we were really full pledged papooses, and felt more at home with our brother redskins. Soon we elected our tribe chief papoose and assistant papooses to lead us and cooperate with the braves, warriors, and scouts. They were: Chief Papoose-Bernadine Kidwell. Second Chiet Papoose-Irene Leeds. ' Keeper of Treaties-Dorothy Taylor. Keeper of XVampu1n-Elliott Yeakel. Also Heap Big Chief Advisor-Mr. lVhite.

Jfamecaming. -i gl an 13 W3 91 HOMECOMIN G PUW-WOW Every fall students of Sullivan High School start planning for one of the big' events of the year, the annual Homecoming. It is an event in which every student interested may participate. Band music, colors flying, beautiful floats, and charming queens, make it one of the most exciting and colorful events of the school year. 'l'he annual football game and the Homecoming play round out a day that is packed full of fun and excitement. About a week before Homecoming a committee of Seniors set to work on Horn's window, decorating it for Homecoming. It didn't take very long' before it was all done and looking marvelous. All the other class windows looked very well too, and showed a lot of effort on their pa rt. Then came the eventful day, and the Seniors along with tl1e rest set to work putting' the finishing touches on their most beloved project-their float. At first we were beginning to think old man weather had played a mean trick on us, be- cause there was a steady mist for quite sometime. But it wasn't long before the sun was shining brightly and our hopes were much higher. After a while the float began to look marvelous and we were certain that it would capture first place, but after talking to the rest of the lower class men we soon found out they were of the same opinion and each thought their queen was more charming than the others. These attractive young' maidens of royalty were, Ruth Rl'21t'kll9.V. Senior queen. Millie Mae Kidwell, Junior, Marilyn Baker, Sophomore, and Irene Leeds, Freshman. At one o'clock the floats bearing the queens, gathered at the High School and were placed in their respective order behind the band. T'he parade started from the High School and was to go up around the square. The entire parade in- cluded both grade schools, country schools, shoe factory, and various clubs of both men and women. It all made a most attractive display of color and talent. At two thirty all the football fans gathered at our victory field for a terrific combat with Cerro Gordo. At the half the floats had been judged and the decision was--first place to the Seniors and second place to the Freshman. The game then continued and Sullivan came out victorious with a score of 25-6. 'Phat evening at 5:30 the homecoming supper was attended by many people and it was enjoyed by all. livery type of food was on the tables. At 8:00 the annual Homecomingplay was to be presented in the auditorium. An anxious audience awaited, and a well chosen cast was back stage. Promptly at 8:00 the curtains were drawn. thus beginning' two hours of splendid entertain- ment. lfietween acts our Homecoming Manager, llill Kidwell, presented the tradi- tional bouquet, of fragrant red roses, to the l94l Homecoming queen-Ruthie lirackney. The play cast gave Miss Montg'omery a bouquet in their deep apprecia- tion of her hard work and loyalty. At ten o'clock the curtain was drawn thus ending another Homecoming at Sullivan 'l'ownsl1ip High School.

The story opens with Aunt Zaznah calling to her husband, Johnathan Logan. When he finally appears, she informs him that two guests have arrived. Finally making their appearance, after a stuffin' theirselves for over an hour , the guests, Mrs. Ethelinda Hewlitt and her daughter Alison, threaten to leave unless the food is improved. The manly hero, Leander Longfellow, the superintendent of Picken's Pickle Factory and the possessor of a marvelous invention, then enters the room, He is greeted by his anxious uncle and aunt, and the latter lures him to the kitchen with promises of a gooseberry pie. Our spotless heroine is the next to arrive. She is Purity Dean, a poor working' girl with a secret. She faints and is' discovered by our hero who insists that she must stay and wcrk at the inn. It is love at first sight. Enter the villain, Mortimer Frothingham, who is chasing Purity. Of course she spurns him. Leander discovers' a baby in the barn-it was put there by Jed Lunn, an ex-convict and the unwilling helper of Mortimer Frothingham. The next guests to arrive are E. Z. Pickens, a young pickle magnate, and his sister, Imogene, who is secretly in love with Leander. Our hero, unaware of this, tells her of his love for Purity. Imogene is furious and enlists the aid of Mortimer to force Purity to leave. Mortimer plans to trap Leander in the pickle factory and kill him with a bomb, then he plans to marry Purity. But Leander escapes and saves Purity in the nick of time. In honor of Imogene's birthday, the Logans give a party. VVhile the party is in progress, Johnathan tells Purity that Mortimer has tricked him and the inn will be lost, for he has no money to pay off the mortgage. Meanwhile Imogene is still trying to win Leander's love, but to no avail. He- loves Purity. Mortimer, disguised as a woman, tries to take the baby, but is exposed by Purity. Mrs. Faith Hogue, the real mother, arrives with her maid, Letty Barber to claim her child. Then Nellie Morris, a cloak model announces that she is the wife of Mortimer. Mrs. Hogue' is revealed as Purity's sister and love triumphs in the end. Page 31, IN STEP WITH THE TIMES SMELL THAT POPCORN? BERT', AMONG THOSE PRESENT THIRSTY HOMECOMERS POWV - WOW HIGH STEPPER!

Business Manager-James Lehman Literary-Betty Mills Photography-Ruth Freeland Sports-Bob Roy Jr. Editor-Cora Ruth Walker Advisor-Mr. Neal This year's Retrospect was financed through several sources. They were, candy strnd sales, con- cessions at the county tournament, the sale of the books, advertising, our Senior play, and the sponsor- ing of a show at our theatre. The book is sold at one dollar and a half, which is quite low when considering that the book actually costs twice that to print. At the beginning of each year students from the Senior class are selected to be members of the staff. The problem irnmediately is to choose a theme for the book. Generally several ideas are put forth and ri vote is taken. From then on the whole book is centered around this idea. Pictures of the facuty, CIRSSGS, and 0FgaHiZatiOnS are taken, and the write ups and histories of classes are begun. Usually we appoint a person or persons from each class to do the class write up. And of course our candid camera girl is busy getting posed and unposed shots of faculty and students. Soon We are ready to decide upon a cover for the book. One is designed like we would like to have. We then select the one nearest like it. Along with this we choose the color combination to be used, and the grain of leather. Y After a long period of writing and constant work, a dummy copy is almost completed. A great many of our pictures and write ups are sent to the printer and returned for proof reading. All the while, the staff works hard getting last minute work done. After the covers are completed and shipped to us the entire Retrospect is sent to the binders and in about ten days they are put into the hands of the reader. The staff of the 1942 Retrospect wishes to thank every one for their kind cooperation in helping to publish OUR YEAR BOOK. Page 37 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Front Row-s-IAS. lintlor, .l. Yairnx-ll. li.

It is sponsored by tl1e Kiwanis and Lions Cl ubs, the American Legion, the Chamber of Commerce, and several individual contributors. The Corps has about thirty members: 14 bugles, 18 drums and symbols, one glockenspeil and 5 drum-majorettes. The latter: are Myrna Crockett, Dorotha Hamilton, Roberta Nicolay, Louise Rudanovich, and Elma lVirth. Each of these girls had a brand new silver baton. At the present time, the members of the Drum and Bugle Corps do not have their own uniforms, and have to wear those of the band. However, it is hoped that they will soon be able to buy uniforms. ., The Corps played for several Appreciation Day drawings ivhich were held up- town, a football game, a basketball game, and at the banquet for underpriv- ileged children. As most of the members of the Corps are freshmen or underclassmen we are expecting to have a good organization next year with many experienced players-a group that will be proud to represent our school, and whom we shall be glad to have represent us.

His' sixteen-year old daughter is extremely self-conscious and boy-shy, however, this cannot be said of his son, Jim. The Adamses' fresidents of Medfordl also have a problem. Their chief worry is Bob, seventeen, to whom girls are poison. A short time after the arival of the Rosses, Eleanor and Bob meet-inadvertently, you may be sure. Equally inadvertently they overhear Mrs. Ross and Mr. Adams discussing their problem children. What they hear appalls them. They decide that immediate action must be taken. Bob borrows sister Pauline's new formal for Eleanor while she supplies him a tuxedo from Jim's ample wardrobe. Both families are shocked when the two younsters appear in the purloined finery, and announce their intention of hitting all the high spots in the vicinity. Although all the car keys are supposedly in safe-keeping, Eleanor and Bob make their escape in Jim's yellow roadster. Then comes a series of mental adventures for both families. Reports Colne in of filling station robberies and the passing of counterfeit money by a couple in a yellow car. Eventually, several of Bob's friends: bring the real news. The whole gang have been together, and their most incriminating deed was to dispose of yards and yards of hot dogs and dance themselves into exhaustion. Of course, all the other details of the mystery'! are cleared up. But the problem that confronts the Adamses and the Rosses as the third act closes is not one of finding companionship for Bob and Eleanor. They are in love! And Charlie, by the way, despite his former handicap, is doing nicely with Pauline. Oh, yes! Love always finds a way! Page 1,5 SENIOR PLAY Row 1-B. Butler, M. Stricklan, B. Marble, D. Elder.

The Hellers have three children, Annabelle, the youngest, Willie, the seventeen year old son, and Louise, who is twenty-one and still has no prospect of a marriage. Mrs. Heller is constantly nagging Louise about her lack of boy friends, but is only trying to get her daughter a husband. Willie is the exact opposite of his elder sister. He has about twelve girl friends that he dates. Annabelle is a typical little twelve year old sister, always in mischief. As the story opens, the family is getting ready for their supper. At the table Louise announces that she is having a callerfa Mr. Charles Grant, Whom she has met at a party several months previous. The whole family is overjoyed and Mrs. Heller immediately decides what she can do to give a good impression. When he finally arrives, he is greeted by the family who heartily approve of him. That same evening, he asks Louise to marry him and she accepts. They decide to keep the secret from her parents for a While. On Sunday morning, he comes to take Louise on a boat ride. Mrs. Heller has fixed a lovely lunch, including an 85c bottle of stuffed olives. Mr. Heller and Louise both think this is an extrava- gance but Mrs. Heller insists. As Louise is not ready when Charles arrives, Mrs. Heller entertains him with a big bluff about Louise's dates, boy-friends and the family's wealth. Hearing all this, he is doubt- ful about whether he can support her in the manner in which she has been accustomed. Louise is furious with her family when she discovers what has happened and vehemently denounces everything her mother has said, then breaks her engagement. Later in the day, she packs her clothes and decides to leave to visit an aunt in a nearby city. Charles is brought back by Willieg however, before she has a chance to leave. His mother and little brother, Herbert, arrive to complete the family scene. Louise re-announces her engagement and discovers that all mothers are alike in matters concerning their children. Page 46 OTHER ACTIVITIES LIBRARY CLUB Although in the first year of its organization the Library Club made excel- lent progress under the supervision of Mrs. lVolf. The officers chosen at the begin- ning of tl1e year were as follows: President-Betty Mills Secretary-Olive Young The six members held their luncheon meetings in the library on the second Monday of each month. During the meetings different phases of library work were studied. During their library periods members assisted Mrs. VVolf by checking out books, typing catalog cards, and preparing material for bulletin boards. All members in this organization cooperated well and received training which should prove of great value in future years. Members this year were Betty Mills, Olive Young, Marilyn Emel, Ella Selby, Hyllis Daum, and June Hawbaker. RADIO CLUB Meeting three times a Week. the members of this organization received Valu- able training that will be of great use to them in future years. Officers of tl1e Radio Club were as follows: President-Dean Devore Vice President-Leonard Cunningham Secretary and Treasurer-Cornelius Mcllaniel After the war broke out the members proceeded seriously toward their task with renewed energy. They accomplished thoroughly the memorization of the Morse code, studied the theory of radio, and listened with interest to the lectures occasionally given by Mr. Carl Garrett. It was a requirement for each member to make a radio for his personal use. VVith such good experience gained members of the Radio Club may be of great service to their country in times like the present.

Page .Q9 REDSKIN RECORD September 19, 1941 p SHELBYVILLE-0 SULLIVAN -0 The Redskins opened their season with a scoreless tie with Shelbyville on tl1e Sullivan field. Although they gained much n1ore ground than their opponents they lost several scoring chances by fumbles when they were near tl1e goal line. Beals did most of the work witl1 plunges off tackle. September 26, 1941 TUSCOLA-33 SULLIVAN-6 The Redskins again played on their own field today against a much heavier and stronger team from Tufscola. Led by Captain Chuck Gross, the invaders scored five touchdowns and three conversions. Sullivan held their opponents scoreless until Well into the second quarter, wl1en a passing attack smashed their defense. The Red- skins scored in the last quarter on a dump pass from Beals to England. Captain Bill Kidwell was unable to play because of an injured ankle. October 3, 1941 CERRO GORDO-6 SULLIVAN-25 The tl-33111 helped make it a perfect Homecoming by vanquishing tl1e Cerro Gordo team with a 25 to 6 score, thus winning their first victory of the season. Beals gained constantly by plunging through the small Cerro Gordo line. Although rain was threatened for some time, tl1e clouds cleared away and the field was in fine condition. October 10, 1941 ARCOLA-33 SULLIVAN-0 On a cold and Wet day the Redskins played their first away-from-home game at Arcola. The superb blocking and running of the stronger Arcola eleven was too much, and tl1e boys returned 1101119 with another defeat on their record. October 24, 1941 VILLA GROVE-0 SULLIVAN-19 Sullivan went to Villa Grove today and spoiled an otherwise perfect Homecoming for their opponents. By a one-sided score of 19 to 0 tl1e Redskins went to victory again bel1ind tl1e powerful drive of Wil.la1-d Beals. Page 50 October 30, 1941 ATWOOD-7 SULLIVAN-0 On one of the wettest days of the year the Redskins played on their own water- covered field. Rain had been falling for several days and fell during most of the game. Although they were beaten by a lucky pass the Sullivan boys were first in yards gained. November 8, 1941 LOVINGTON-0 SULLIVAN-12 Tl1e game with Lovington was postponed from Thursday night to Saturday afternoon because of rain. The field had been covered with water for several days and was still quite muddy when the game was played. The Redskins scored twice in the first part of the game, but freezing fingers and falling snow dulled their enthusiasm. Their old rivals put up their usual good fight, but were defeated for the seventeenth consecutive year. November 11, 1941 BETHANY-7 SULLIVAN-0 On one of the best football days of the season Bethany brought her fans, team and her high scoring VVeakly to Sullivan for the best attended game in years. Heals gained more ground during the first half than Bethany did during the whole game, but it was of no use. VVeakly was stopped in his tracks again and again, but Bethany completed a pass in the last quarter to win the game. NVith only a few minutes to play the Redskins nnade a last desperate drive that started on their own yard line and ended on Bethany's 20 yard line when a fumble occurred. In spite of the final score the team was not a beaten team, but played the best game of the season. November 14, 1941 NEWMAN-22 SULLIVAN-6 Sullivan finished their season at Newman with another defeat. The Redskins scored in tl1e first few minutes of the game on a pass and became overconfident. They held the Newman team until the latter part of the game, when a passing attack yielded their opponents three touchdowns and one conversion. Knowing that they had been beaten by a smaller and weaker team, the Seniors hated to remember that this was their last game. if S ?

The team won il total of I3 games and lost l2. eounting' tournzunent games. .Xltlnough they finished low in eonfer- ence ratings, they won the Moultrie County tourney. The seeond team did better than this winning lli and losing 5, and getting' set-ond in the Moultrie Vo. Tourney. At the beginning of the season, the lettermen from last Years team were Kirlwell, Lehnlan, Atchison, and liingg. These men, along' with Drew and Moore nmde up the first team. Aylwzlrd, Smith und lflnglaiul also saw eonsiderallxle zu-tion. Of these men, Kidwell, L0lllll2lll, Atehison and llrzlgg will be lost by gi-zuluation. I A brilliant sec-ond team composed of sophoniores has nmde fl good record. These men are Punczhes, Grant, Young, Strieklan, Engfland, and one Junior, Smith. 'This team has made a great sueeess of its season :ind weloolc forward to bigger and better things from them in the future. Page 52 Redskin Regulars CAPTAIN BILL KIDWELL Bill has made a fine record in both football and basketball, being chosen captain of both teams. His rebounding and shots from the side of the floor have been a credit to the Redskin's basketball team. Many times his coolness and playing ability have pulled the team out of a tight spot. Bill will be missed by everyone on the squad and off. CHUC ATCHISON Playing at center position, Cline is to be commended on his work under the basket. His uncanny shots from awkward positions under and around the basket made him a valuable man to the team. t'Chuc also graduates this year and will be missed greatly. ' JIMMY LEHMAN 'tJimmy Lehman is another Senior who will be leaving this year. Jimmy is noted for his accuracy in shooting both long and short shots. From his position at the side of the gym he sank shots throughout the season. Jimmy has bee11 a regular player for two years and has made quite a record during this time. RUSSELL DREW Drew, a Junior, saw his first year of ac-tive service this year, and excelled in drib- bling and passing. Playing forward position, he could be counted on to get the ball down the floor into a position from which it could be worked into the basket. Drew also has perfected his long shot from the center of the floor, making several baskets from this spot. W'e are looking forward to his work on next year's team. J. C. MOORE NJ. C. is another Junior who has made a good record this year. He also played at the forward position, and was outstanding in dribbling and shooting. Ile made quite a few points by dribbling in towards the basket and shooting. J, U. also should be watched on next year's team, as he shows great promise. EARL BRAGG Earl Bragg was noted for his speed, being a four- forty man in track. Many times Earl got the 'ball and streaked down the floor for a set-upi' before the opposing team could catch him. Although he was not a regular player early in the season, he did a fine job and will be missed by next year's team.

All teams are made up of six members, and any boy in school can be a member of a team if he chooses, providing he is not on the regular basketball team. The games are played on a regular conference schedule, one game being played each day during the noon-hour. These games are started soon after the close of the football season and last until the end of the basketball SCRSOII. This year a tournament was played for the first time. The Illinois Strangers, captained by Francis t'Steamer XVhitchurch, won this tourney. The n1e111bers of this team were: WVhitchurch, Butler, Heckler, Crane, and L. Hughes. The Sharpshooters captained by Kenneth Young, won tl1e conference play, losing only one game. The memers of this team were: Young, Sharp, R. Osborne, D. Stentel, Punches, and Purvis. The Noon-Hour League has been a regular feature of the school activities for many years, and furnished some means of entertainment during the noon-hour through- out the winter months. CLASS TOURNAMENT Each year a Class Tournament is also played. This year the Seniors defeated the Juniors in the first game. The Sophomoreg won their game with the l+'reshmen, but were beaten by the Seniors in the final. Then the Juniors defeated the Freshies, capturing third place.

The scores were: Seniors-18 Freshmen-14 Seniors-64 Freslunen-16 Juniors-16 Soph omores-63 Sophomores-18 Juniors-48 TRACK There is no definite material available for this years track season. However we may look forward to a reasonably successful season. Lettermen from last year who are expected to report are: Bragg, Jenkins, Lee, Selock, and Aylward. Bragg ig a 440 man, and also takes part in the broad jump and dashes. Selock and Lee are both milers and have a good record so far in preced- ing seasons. Aylward is a broad jump man. These and several other men who did not earn letters last year, but are experienced, will make up our track team. The Redskins expect to have dual meets with Lovington and Bethany. The County meet will be held at Arthur.

Unscrewing The Top Of A Fruit lar There is one thing that there should be a law passed about, and that is these glass fruit jars, with tops that screw on. It should be made a criminal offense, punish- able with death or banishment to the lower world, for a person to manufacture a fruit. jar, for preserving fruit, with a top that screws on. Those jars look nice when the fruit is put up in them, and the housewife feels as though she were repaid for all her perspiration over a hot stove, as she looks at the glass jars of different berries on the shelf in the cellar. The trouble does not begin until she has company on Christmas and wishes to open a jar of her best mincemeat. After the dinner is well under way, she sends for a jar, and tells the servant to unscrew the top, and pour the mincemeat into a dish. The girl brings it out into the kitchen, and proceeds to unscrew the top. She works gently at first, then gets mad, wrenches at it, sprains her wrist, and begins to cry, with her nose on the underside of her apron, and skins her nose on the dried pancake batter that is hidden in the folds of the apron. Then the little housewife sinilingly takes hold of the fruit can and says she will show the girl how to take off the top. She sits down on the wood-box, takes the glass jar between her knees, runs out her tongue, and twists. But the cover does not twist. The cover seems to feel as though it were placed there to keep guard over that fruit, and it is as immovable as the Egyptian pyramids. The little lady works until she is red in the face, and until her curls all come down, and then she sets it away to wait for the old man to come home. He comes in tired, disgusted, and mad as a hornet, and when the case is laid before him, he goes out in the kitchen, pulls off his coat, and takes the jar. P j j He remarks that he is a loss to know what women are made for. He says they are all right to sit around and crochet, but when strategy, brain, and muhcle are required, then they can't get along without a man. He tries to unscrew the cover, and his thumb slips off and knocks the skin off the knuckle. He breathes a silent prayer and calls for the kerosene can, and pours a little oil into the crevice, and lets it soak. Then he tries again, and swears audibly. -Ella Selby Looking Out The Window As I look out of the window, I see trees, houses, birds, gardens, and men working. Hut most of all I see America. NVhen we look out of a window we see all things that go to make up America. That is why, at a time like this, we must fight. lVe must all do our best to keep up our country's morale, also to keep ourselves above the striking forces of propaganda. 11' in the course of this war, we lose that morale, or if we drop within the propagandist's views, we will no longer be able to look through our windows and see beauty or the works of freemen. Instead we could see only destruction everywhere. YVe do not Want that kind of scenery. XV6,'3IIf9 Americans and so we believe in Americanism. That is why we shall be able to look through our windows, at the end of this war, and see our flag waving over the beauty of our own beautiful America. ' -Charles Atchison Page 69 Looking Out The Window The orchestra conductor tapped his baton as a signal for the '4Skater's lValtz. The curtains rose and the beautiful, poised, costumed skaters glided across the ice. They formed circles, made figure eights and did an acrobatic routine. Then the skaters formed a line near the rear as the second curtain rose. A beautiful, blonde, ballet skater appeared. The other skaters may have been good, but she was queen ol' them all. She glided through her ballet routine so smoothly it seemed as if she were on a wooden floor not an ice rink. Then the orchestra played the Grand Finale as she bowed her way behind the stage. A knock was heard at the door. Yes, who is it ? replies tl1e beautiful white haired old lady who is seated in a comfortable arm chair by the big bay window. No one answered. She went to the door and opened it. There was no one around. She walked back to her chair and sat down. She began to smile. She remembered now. She had been dreaming she was behind stage and some one was knocking at her dressing room door. As she again looked out the window there was no ice rink to be seen-just :1 busy street full of automobiles. Her vision had gone. -Maxine Ya w Once Did you ever stop to think what a large territory the simple word Hence stands for? That old, stooped, raggedly-dressed man, think how much he could put into the word Hence . Ah, yes! he would say, HI was young once. I had a wife and children,and a good home for them. I worked hard so that I could get them the things they wanted and needed. Then the epidemic struck! I was soon without a family and my job. I grew old in a few days. Now, look at me! But remember, once. . . . . . .... That was the story of a poor man. Let's look about. for someone who looks prt s- perous. Ah, there is a well-dressed man, walking along the other side of the street. He must be deep in thought. See how he slowly twirls his watch chain? I wonder what he is thinking? Let's intrude into his thoughts. I can't understand it! People seem to think I am sort ot' a poison. They say 'hello' when they meet me on the street, but the smiles on their faces seem to be forced. They never stop for a chat. They never drop in at my house for a cup of tea. It seems as if I haven't any real friends. Once I was one of the most popular of all the boys in my town. I had friends by the dozen. There was always some one stopping at my house. A day seldom went by Without at least three or four invitations to different places. Then I was poor. I could hardly entertain them in the way I wanted to. I left the small town to make my fortune in the city. I was successful. Of course I had to be a little hard now and then, but I made my money. Once, when I needed help, every- body was willing to help me. I can't understand it. Once ............ -Betty Lou Mills Page 70 We Won! Mary Lucille Risley Do you recall in '38, That most' important game, Between the Cubs and Pirates? Gabby Hartnett then made fame. T'was tl1e deciding game of the season, And both teams the pennant desired. Each side fought hard and furious, One by one tl1e batters retired. Inning after inning they battled, It was nip and tuck all the way. The teams thought it worth all the labor For the pennant and extra pay. At the end of nine full innings, I am sorry to have to say, Each team had tl1e same number of tallies- So an extra inning they had to play. The day was growing rather late, It was almost supper time- And Still the teams were deadlocked. They wouldn't quit now for a dime. The umpire -said they had to stop, You could hardly see tl1e ball. The Pirates had batted that inning But failed to score at all. lt was tl1e very last chance for the Cubs To win this important game. After playing all these innings T'o lose it now seemed a shame. The first two men who batted Didn't even make a try- The first flied out to center, The second on first did die. N ow good old Gabby Harnett lVas the next man up to try, To win this game from tl1e Pirates. He was determined to do, or die. The catcher gave the signal, Tl1e pitcher threw the ball, Gabfbyiswung his level best, The crowd in the stands was awed. Page 71 Page 72 The pitcher again got his signal, He wound up with all his might, Gabby just missed it by inches, Gave the Pirates a terrible fright. The pitcher threw the third one And Gabby hit the ball. Up over the bleachers it traveled and Outside the park did fall. It was a very exciting ending For this most important game, The Cubs were really happy, The Pirates, their heads hung in shame A Ballad of the Mountains .-.10.i.. Loren Hall High upon a mountain side, In a cabin made of logs, Lived a happy mountaineer Wfhose name was Ezra Boggs. Every evening just at sunset, Upon a mule he would ride To the Valley, to see his Sally, 'Who was to be his bride. One night while returning home, ln a blizzard raging on high, His mule fell down and broke its leg Just below the thigh. Ezra had to shoot the mule Because it suffered so, A series of chills ran down his spine As the north wind did fiercely blow. Next morning there came a neighbor Up to the cabin of logs. He found upon the doorstep- The body of Ezra Boggs.
