K amerer Obiluary Lucy Marguerite Kamerer, daughter of Louis Allen Kamerer and Clara Mae Kamerer, was born November 2, 1904, near West Jersey, Illinois, and passed away at her home in Toulon November 27, 1921, at the age of 17 years and 23 days. The greater part of her life was spent at her home near West Jersey and it was there she passed thru the rural school of that community. As she was ambitious for a higher education, she entered the Toulon High School, where she reached the Sophomore class before being compelled to give up her work. For the last seven years, Marguerite had been in poor health and during her fight for health she spent some time in the sanitarium at Ottawa and also some in an osteopathic hospital in Missouri. She managed to keep her health sufficiently to carry on her duties with a fair degree of success until a few months before her passing, when her health began to wane and for fourteen weeks she was confined to her bed until she fell asleep. Marguerite was of a cheerful and genial disposition, very fond of flowers, patient in all her suffering, appreciative of all favors she received and she never failed to express her gratitude for the same whenever they were received, even if she were in the midst of her worst suffering. Although not a member of the church, she was a Christian girl and was most lovingly devoted to her Lord during all her sickness and found an abiding comfort and grace for all her affliction. She was a member of the Baptist Sunday school and worshiped, when health permitted, in the Toulon Baptist church, where all who came to know her, loved her and she is greatly missed. She leaves her mother, Mrs. Clara Mae Kamerer, and sister, Miss Laura Kamerer, together with many other relatives and a host of friends who mourn her premature death. TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Page Seven The o T he Neu? (J3uildin 1 E new High School building is at last in sight. By the time this “Tolo ’22” |gets into your hands the building will be well on its way to completion. Placed south and west of the present building, with tpe main entrance at the west, it will be a building of which the whole community may be proud, both as Regards its appearance and its use. The dimensions are— frontage, 143V2 feet; depth, 75 feet; height, two stories and basement. The outside walls are faced with matt faced brick, varying in color from cherry red to gun-metal. The outside trim is of buff and blue Bedford stone. Entering the main entrance one finds himself in the vestibule of the main corridor. The walls here are faced with a gray pressed brick, having a wainscot four feet six inches high of glazed brick of a darker color. The wood trimmings are of first quality plain red oak. The floor is terrazo, a mixture of marble chips and cement, showing at the surface of the floor eighty per cent marble. Thus the walls and floor give at once the impression of neatness, cleanliness and durability. From the vestibule a short flight, or half flight of stairs leads up to the first floor and a similar short flight down to the ground floor. Going down to the ground floor, there are the gymnasium, dressing rooms, showers, toilets, and the domestic science and manual training rooms. In the southeast corner is the boiler room. The gymnasium has a floor 751 2 by 45 feet. On the east side is the stage, 26 by 15 feet, with a dressing room on each side. The gymnasium is thus fitted to be used either as a gymnasium or as an auditorium. For auditorium purposes it will be fitted with movable chairs. The gymnasium can be entered directly from the outside as well as from the main part of the building, thus making it possible to use the gymnasium or auditorium at any time without entering the main part of the building. The walls of the gymnasium and Page Eight TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 The gjo o dressing rooms are of the same gray brick with glazed brick wainscoting as the corridors.

The walls and construction throughout this floor are the same as for the first floor. The heating and ventilating system is thoroughly modern. The heating is by steam; radiators automatically controlled by thermostat. A constant supply of fresh air is driven into each room by a large fan. As this air is taken in from the outside it is driven through a spray of water and washed of its dirt and impurities, and then warmed before being sent into the different rooms. The building is equipped with an interphone telephone system so that it will be possible from the superintendent’s office to talk to any room in the building, or, by making the proper connection, to make an announcement or to talk to all the teachers in their respective rooms at the same time. Much time and thought have been put upon the plans and specifications of this building. A thoroughly modern, sanitary, practical and beautiful building will be the result. While no money is being spent on useless ornamentation or in extravagance, yet the building is of the best construction throughout. It is a model for efficient school purposes, and will be a joy and a pride to both pupils and the community for years to come.

As in all classes, some have dropped out, some moved away and others have married, leaving a class of thirty-four to graduate, the largest graduating class in the history of the High School. From the very first days the faculty have realized this was an unusual bunch of students. They wished to be first in everything. In the Freshman year they were largest in numbers; Sophomore year the most mischievous; Junior year the best entertainers, and in this, our last year, the most ambitious. Many of the boys went out for athletics during the Freshman year and the fact that several of the boys won places on the foot ball and basket ball teams this year shows that the class contains good athletic material. We have two four-year letter men—Edgar Blair in foot ball and John Nowlan in basket ball. Four letter men leave the basket ball team this year and this shows that our class was well represented there. They are Fell, Nowlan, Slygh and Blair. Milan Fell, our all-around athlete, has made new records for us in track. Forest Morse and Leslie Torrence, who are absent from the class this year, pi’oved themselves to be good track material last year. The foot ball team claims Captain Blair, Slygh, Fell, Swango, Wallace, Hodges, Davis and Armstrong. This class had a great deal of musical talent. We were represented in the orchestra by Ernest Robson, flute; Colby Packer, cornet; Roy Dillon, violin; William Nelson, melophone; Margaret Van Leer, cello. An innovation was added this year by the forming of the Senior Boys’ Double Quartet, made up of Senior members—Robson, Blair, Sarli, Leitch, Wallace, Cox, Slygh and Fell. This quartet was called upon to sing at nearly all of the town functions. Faye Hartley, who graduates in music this year, was the capable pianist of the operetta, “Miss Cherry Blossom,” and of many of the musical activities of the school. Page Twenty-eight- TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 The J5o o Our social events have been many and varied. Our parties have always been original and the Christmas party, given to the entire school by the Seniors, was one of the big events of the school year. Last year we enjoyed giving the reception, which was a decided success, and we greatly appreciated the one given this year in our honor. In the High School carnival given this year, the Seniors were a great help in making it such a success. The class play this year was a decided success, and the class is well pleased with its efforts. Also two Senior entries in the preliminary declamatory contest, Margaret Van Leer and Roy Dillon, placed first, and both are expected to win at the county meet. The scholarship of this class was especially high and we are pleased to note that a large per cent of the class is planning on continuing their education in the higher schools of learning. The class of ’22 regrets that they will not be able to attend school in the new building, but their last wish in parting is that the succeeding classes may find new pleasure and inspiration in the new High School building. DOROTHY PRICE. Ton.ON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Page Twenty-nine The Qo o Senior 3lass 'prophec We’ve a story to tell you of the class of ’22, Of what they are doing and what about to do; For ten long years have passed away Since that once happy commencement day. In a dressmaking shop Fannie Whitten is found, Fitting dresses for ladies from all around; Every one praises her work, we are told, But for very high prices her dresses are sold. A debater, who is known both far and wide, Is Roy Dillon; and he now sits beside His companions in congress, and when a bill is passed He always must have his word in last. Dwain Wallace in the pulpit stands, And widely waves about his hands; He’ll be like Billy Sunday some day, we’re afraid, And he may marry some demure little maid. Who committed that murder and where is he now ? Is the question he asks after every row; For Alfred Swango is a member of the Chicago police, And it seems that crimes are never going to cease. Then there is Bill Allen, so well behaved; If he wasn’t a barber how could he keep his marcel waved ? People recommend his work to tourists passing thru; You’d better let him shave you, and bob your hair, too. Evelyn and Opal Sweat are now opening a shop; Their customers are all well pleased with their work, Of the list of photographers their name’s at the top; Tho Opal, her duty sometimes tries to shirk. Faye Hartley, in her quiet way, Entertains thousands day by day; Swiftly her fingers pass over the keys, As Edison hearers she tries hard to please. Page Thirty TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 1 The o Edgar Blair, with a solemn face, Pealing forth his rolling bass, Leads the choir, one and all, In the cathedral of St. Paul. John Jackson is publishing books by the score, And every one says, “Oh write a few more He is noted as an author of great renown, And is known in every village, hamlet and town. In college Harriet Price has been for the past three years, But now we’re sorry to say she’s left it in tears; She smoked cigarettes, was too much of a flirt, Was too bold, and the teachers say a little too pert. Ernest Robson we can see most every day, But we don’t see how he makes it pay Working with many swarms of bees And studying the bark that comes off of trees. In the Tribune office of Chicago you’ll find An old friend who has not been left behind; As an inquiring reporter John N. works each day. To find out what other people have to say. Just recently, we’re told, our friend Fred Slygh Bid his lady friends a sad good-bye; In Burma he’s working, the heathen to train, That they may read and write and knowledge gain. Bill Nelson decided not to take any chance; No other trade did he know, so he learned how to dance; Gracefully o’er the floor he is able to glide; In teaching the girls he takes the greatest of pride. Harold Cox, so becomingly dressed in white, And moreover he is just the right height; For you know he’s a chef in the Seneca hotel; This story of him we’re delighted to tell. Raphael Sarli has tried everything under the sun, And could he find an occupation ? no, not one; Before he got started he decided to stop, And now all he’s doing is just selling pop. You should hear the trouble that’s now going thru court, For Clyde Standard and Jennie Mock have decided to part; Her grounds are that Clyde is so cruel to her; She can stand it no longer, “Now, believe me, sir!” TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Page Thirty-one The o John Leitch is struggling hard to win fame ; He’s now just beginning to get in the game; Your portrait on canvas he’s willing to paint, Providing you, during the ordeal, do not faint. Colby Packer’s swimming master now in the U. of I., And every time he thinks of it he gives a long drawn sigh; How he learned the art back home in an indoor pool, ’tis said With a newspaper waving o’er his head for water wings instead. The door bell rings and you go to see Who the visitor can possibly be; It’s an agent selling the “Book of Knowledge,” And is Bernice Merna just out of college. Lloyd Armstrong at first did beg for his bread; Then he was a brakeman, and such a life he led; Then a job in a garage, and while working there His rich uncle died and he was the heir. Dorothy Price is a chorus girl so pretty and sweet; Her clothes are so trim and always so neat; The people just rave when she dances for them; They think of all “Follies” that she is the gem. Ada Winans is now a first-class doctor; She works in a hospital called the Proctor; She cures all your ailments and makes you all well, And charges you up so your homes you must sell. As a hairdresser Evah Orwig surely excels; The ladies’ hair she dresses in fine marcels And rolls and puffs and high coiffures; You’d better go let her try dressing yours. Milan Fell is teaching the boys how to jump, Altho in the game he receives many a bump; But they pile up the score to forty or more, While the others are gaining about twenty-four. We were shopping one day in the city. When we stopped for a soda—what a pity; Well wrhom should we find selling sodas for a dime, But Celia Epperson—who would thot she had time. Poor Kenneth and Audrey must each shed a tear; Their happiness lasted just one short year; Said Audrey to Kenneth, “Tho it breaks my heart, You haven’t been true, so from you I must part.” Page Thirty-two TOILON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 The o Lula Gerard has worried till her hair is gray, And she’s no longer laughing and happy and gay; She is still an old maid and always will be; Tho she’s tried all her charms, the men still are free. Molla Mallory lost her tennis championship last year, When she met as a rival Miss Margaret Van Leer. Margaret was fast and got in the game; And so Miss Mallory lost her good name. In Ascher’s Palace you’ll find your classmate, You want to come early and never come late; For her tickets are sold and Mary D. is gone. If you wait until something else is on. Albert Davis decided a farmer to be; “I’ll raise lots of corn and be rich,” said he. But corn took a drop and his crop wasn’t good, And he thot, “A farmer couldn’t be rich if he would.” And this is the end of our story How that class have all won such glory. We know you’re delighted to know their success Thus far in life—the rest you must guess.

Robert Fuller and Verna Fowler dropped out, but Lawrence Schmidt began again in the second semester, so we have about the original number. In spite of it being such a small class it has been an exceedingly lively one and the school owes a great many of its honors to it. In foot ball Robert Nowlan, Adam Oliver and William McWilliam did some excellent work. In basket ball Robert Nowlan also starred. The track team has not been decided upon, but a great deal is expected from William McWilliam, Ed Spangler, Adam Oliver and Leslie Montooth. In the preliminary declamatory contest Elizabeth White and Leslie Montooth entered, Elizabeth getting third place, and Leslie second place. Great results are expected next year in the musical department from the Sophomores, as we already have two members in the advanced orchestra and eight in the beginners’ orchestra. There are also several in the Girls’ Glee Club. Also in assemblies the Sophomores have been called upon a great many times to furnish entertainment.

This paper is edited entirely by the Sophomores. The class visited The Stark County News office one day and saw the different machines in operation, and consequently we think we have know- ledge of newspaper work far superior to any other class. This is only our second year in High School and considering what we have already done, we shall expect great things before we finish High School.

TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Page Thirty-nine _ freshman Class IFTY-SIX verdant Freshies wandered into the “spacious” and “awe-inspiring” High School with trembling knees and open mouths, a few nearly losing their hearts. After a few days with their brainy superiors, they discovered that after all they had no cause to fear them, as bluffing was easy.

By the time we had arrived at Adams’ pasture, we had acquired a hearty appetite. Some disgraced themselves by “stuffing” on weiners, rolls and marshmallows. Hallowe’en was celebrated by the Freshmen giving a party to the Seniors. Everyone came in masquerade dress. The evening was spent in dancing, playing games and eating popcorn balls and apples. St. Valentine’s Day the Sophomores gave the Freshmen a party at the Legion Hall. Games w'ere played and dainty refreshments were served. The Sophomores are good entertainers and we are hoping they’ll give us another party soon. Several of our Freshmen are winning fame already. One girl has taken the principal part in the High School operetta, another has played the piano for assemblies and orchestra all year, and three of our boys were on the second basket ball team. With such honors coming in our Freshman year, who knows what is before us during the next three years ?

H. S. The team won eight out of ten games, tied one and lost only one. The team jnade a total of 223 points against their opponents’ 59. The splendid team-work of the players helped a great deal in winning the games. Much credit for such a team is due R. N. Wilford, the new coach. LA FAYETTE AT TOULON. The 1921 season opened with LaFayette as the opponents and the final score was a tie, 0-0. Because of the lack of practice by both teams and because of the muddy field, not much class was shown, but it gave the coach a chance to see his men in action and eventually strengthen the weak places. GALVA AT TOULON. For the second game of the season Galva came to Toulon, and our team won, 7-6. Miller made the touchdown for Toulon and Leitch cinched the game by kicking goal. CHILLICOTHE AT CHILLICOTHE. Toulon next journeyed to Chillicothe and trimmed their strong team 19-0. Leitch and Fell made touchdowns and Fell made two pretty drop-kicks from the 30-yard line. CHILLICOTHE AT TOULON. The next week Toulon experienced little trouble in defeating Chillicothe on the local field, 46-7. For Toulon, Fyle was the star player by his shifty running and he made five touchdowns, while Fell and Porter each made one. ELMWOOD AT ELMWOOD. The Elmwood-Toulon game was another victory for T. H. S., 21-0. At the beginning of the game it looked bad for Toulon, as Elmwood made four first downs before Toulon gained possession of the ball, but after the ball came into Toulon’s possession it remained in the enemy’s territory most of the time. Porter, Leitch and Fell made counters and Leitch kicked all three goals. ALEXIS AT ALEXIS. It was in this game that the T. H. S. foot ball team showed what they were made of, as it was the hardest game of the year. Our boys won 21-13.

By using their heads and taking advantage of the breaks, the team was able to win over much greater weight. BRADFORD AT TOULON. Toulon easily outclassed the Bradford team by a score of 56-0. The Bradford line was weak and Toulon easily broke thru for long gains and easily stopped Bradford’s plays. In the third quarter Porter made a 70-yard run for a touchdown, which was the most spectacular play of the game. Leitch kicked all eight goals. GALVA AT GALVA. Toulon met her only defeat in the return game at Galva by a score of 20-12. The field was wet, snowy and slippery and this interfered a great deal with good playing. Fumbling of the ball probably lost for Toulon, but the boys played hard thruout the game. LA FAYETTE AT LA FAYETTE. Toulon came back after their defeat at Galva and blanked LaFayette 20-0, in the return game at LaFayette. Pyle played his usual spectacular game and made a run of 65 yards for a touchdown, and Leitch and Fell each made a touchdown. As a result of injuries from this game, Toulon lost Fell and Hodges, two first string men, for the rest of the season. PEORIA HIGH SECONDS AT TOULON. In the “Turkey Day” game Toulon finished a successful season by a victory of 20-14. Toulon was forced to play some substitutes in this game, but the boys played hard and won. Pyle made two touchdowns and Leitch made one. SCORES OF THE GAMES.

Page Fifty TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 The o gasket Ball Because of the foot ball season the squad was late in starting practice for basket ball. Thirty-five men were out trying for positions, and the coach, R. H. Hultgren, had to pick his first team from these in a week’s time. The team was forced to play in a very small hall and this somewhat handicapped them on a larger floor, but in spite of this the boys won eight out of the thirteen games played. PRINCEVILLE AT TOULON. The first game of the season was won by Princeville 16-11. The game gave the coach a chance to get a good idea of his material. ORION AT TOULON. Toulon won the second game of the season by trimming Orion 33-16. The team showed much improvement over the week before, especially in basket shooting. WOODHULL AT TOULON. In one of the fastest and closest games of the season Woodhull won 11-10. The game was a hard one and Toulon was in the lead, but a Wood-hull player cinched the game for them by making a basket in the last twenty seconds of play. LA FAYETTE AT LA FAYETTE. Toulon easily overwhelmed the LaFayette team 33-19, in a fast game. The boys showed good team-work and their passing showed much improvement. GALESBURG SECONDS AT TOULON. Toulon won another victory on the home floor from the Galesburg second team by a score of 25-12. The game was a fast one and the team show’ed a good defense against their opponents. WYOMING AT TOULON. Toulon went down to defeat before the fast Wyoming team 16-11. Toulon lead up to the end of the first half 8-6, but in the second half the Wyoming boys came back strong and made ten points to our three. LA FAYETTE AT TOULON. Toulon easily won another victory from the LaFayette team 29-13. The game was hard fought and comparatively clean throughout. TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 l-’aj'e Fifty-one WOODHULL AT WOODHULL. The g o o The boys met their second defeat at the hands of the Woodhull team at Woodhull 16-10. Although they lost, the boys played hard and it was a hotly contested battle. PRINCEVILLE AT PRINCEVILLE. In one of the most exciting games of the season Toulon won from Princeville on their floor 18-17. Princeville lead at the end of the first half, but our boys came back strong and w’on. There was only a one-point difference throughout the last half. PEORIA SEIGLES AT TOULON. Toulon easily outplayed Peoria Seigles and took them into camp to the tune of 41-20. Walker was the star of the game, making nine baskets. DOUGLAS SOCIALS AT TOULON. In a hard-fought game Toulon won from the Douglas Socials, of Peoria, by a score of 26-22. The score was a tie at the end of the game and it was necessary to play two extra five-minute periods to decide the game. ORION AT ORION. The team played its best game of the season at Orion and won 34-24, on a floor much larger than their own. The boys did some fine basket shooting and showed some good team-work. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT AT GALESBURG. Toulon was eliminated in the first game of the tournament by the strong Cambridge team, 23-14. In spite of their defeat the boys played hard and outplayed Cambridge in the first and last quarters. SCORES OF THE GAMES.

Page Fifty-six TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 •L The o public School GENERATION or more ago school music received its first great impetus. Prior to that, work was being done in the development of this subject, but being a new thing, no one was quite certain as to just what was the correct method of procedure. A great deal of time was devoted to singing. Later, sight reading was intensified and emphasis was placed on the ability to read at sight, rather than to have a general understanding of music as an educational subject. Still later the harmonic side of the subject was approached through choral singing rather than the melodic side through individual recitation. The latter seemed the more intelligent appreciation of the subject. With this scheme as a basis, the school music system has been matured and is not entirely without criticism. Before we can develop a race of music lovers, we must develop on the part of the child a desire to sing and a real love of music. It has been said that the only real motive of music we Americans possess is represented by the “Negro Spiritual.” These spirituals show an attempt on the part of those oppressed people to express their appeal to God for mercy. It is equally true of our national music—that it has developed only in the times of stress. This shows that a nation must suffer before it can develop musically. The object of appreciation is to train pupils how to listen intelligently to music today. Appreciation, after all, is an attitude of the mind, an awakening of emotion, and the child’s mind is in the most fertile field in which to work. The same composition does not affect us in terms of our own feelings. Choral singing in the school has more to do with real school spirit than any other branch of the subject. It is the greatest co-ordinating influence in education and teaches young Americans to work together.

The members and leader are working hard to make a success of the orchestra. Practices are held every Thursday. Mr. Wiggle also has organized a “beginners’ orchestra,” to which any one who has an instrument or is interested in one, may belong. These members may take private lessons of Mr. Wiggle or of other teachers. These players will gradually work up to the “advanced,” making that orchestra a stronger and larger one. There is a music class before and after school every day. These classes take up the study of music and are under the supervision of Miss Jones.

WALKER Treasurer Tjigh School Federation HIS past year has been the second year that the work of the Toulon Township High school has been carried on with the aid of the High School Federation. The object of the Federation is to better the conditions of the High school, to aid and develop the interests of the student body as a whole, and to add to the advantage and benefit of each individual attending the High school. The Executive Committee, which consists of the officers of the Federation and the Superintendent and Principal of the school, acts as the initiative body of this organization. The Student Council, consisting of two members from each class, may initiate duties and policies for the four committees to develop and execute. The four committees are the following: Athletic, Music, Literary and Building and Grounds. The Athletic Committee has charge of all the athletic activities carried on by the High school. It manages the finances, receives and cares for the visiting teams, arouses student interest and has charge of awarding letters to the athletes. The Music Department co-operates with the Glee Clubs, the Orchestra and musical organizations of the school to further the musical interests of the school.

It acts together with the Executive Committee in selecting the staff for the Tolo. The care and maintenance of the grounds, building and furniture lies with the Building and Grounds Committee. All students carrying three subjects and who sign the Constitution may become members of the Federation and are entitled to vote on the adoption of laws or resolutions brought up before this body. There is no possible doubt as to the value and possiblities of this organization. It brings about a better unity between the student body and the faculty, and allows the student an actual share in the operation of the school. It encourages individual initiative and originality and gives the students a greater interest and pride in their school life. Page Sixty-six TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 The o o Senior Class Play Miss Kackley “Nothing But the Truth,” the Senior class play, was given March 24 and 25, under the capable direction of Miss Olive Kackley, of Chicago. She has coached a number of school plays here, but this was reported as being the most successful play of this kind ever produced in Toulon. About thirty members of the class “tried out” for parts, eleven characters being needed for the cast. On Monday morning of the week that the play was to be given, Miss Kackley chose the cast. The rest of the members of the class did splendid work in the specialties. The cast had four days of hard work and an experience that they will never forget. The parts were learned letter perfect, the art of concentration being Miss Kackley’s chief idea and aim. The cast of characters was the following: Mr. Ralston ............Raphael Sarli Bishop Doran ..................Edgar Blair Robert Bennett .................Fred Slygh Richard Donnelly .........Milan Fell Mr. Van Dusen ............Roy Dillon Martha .....

Ernest Robson was on the program for a flute solo, and John Leitch for a vocal solo. The business manager of the play was Ernest Robson and with his able assistant, Dwain Wallace, the business transactions were conducted very efficiently. The class realized about $40 on the play. TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Page Sixty-seven The '(fto o The Tiome Economics Department HE Home Economics course includes work in the first three years of High School. As the course is planned now, the first year is given over to a study of foods. It takes up the food principles, their occurrence, composition, digestibility and economic value. A study of meal planning and serving is given with some practice in the preparation and serving of simple meals. The second year is devoted to domestic art and the course includes plain sewing, a study of the textile fibers, materials, the care and repairing of clothing. The aim of this course is to teach the girls to make their own clothing and to aid in the family sewing. The third year is divided between foods and textiles. A review of the first year’s work is given with a more detailed study of vital points, such as food preservation, bread-making, menu-planning and sewing. Simple meals, adapted to the needs of High Schools, are prepared and served, and costs are figured. Box luncheons, invalid cookery, and children’s diets are studied. The textile work centers around the High School girls’ clothing budget. The number and kinds of articles are worked out according to the girls’ needs, and necessary articles are made. It is to be hoped that a larger and broader study of the home may be made in this third year of work. Thruout the three years the practical versus the theoretical side of the work is stressed in the hope that it may function in the girls’ home. M. BROWN. Pane Sixty-eight TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Operetta To complete the work of the year the Girls’ Glee Club and Boys’ Quartet gave an operetta, April 21 and 22 entitled “Cherry Blossom.’’ This is a brief synopsis of it: Miss Evelyn Barnes, an American girl, born in Japan, and whose parents die of fever, is brought up as a Japanese maiden. Her father’s secretary uses her property for his own ends. When Evelyn, who is known as Cherryblossom, is about eighteen, Worthington, the secretary, returns to Japan on his yacht with a party of American friends. One of them, John Henry Smith, falls in love with Cherry and wishes to marry her, but Kokemo, who has brought her up as his own daughter, wants her to marry Togo, a rich politician. The action of the piece centers around Jack’s effort to out-wit Togo and Kokemo. Eventually Cherry learns her true identity, comes into her own property, marries Jack and all ends happily.

TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Page Sixty-nine The Manual Training Department HE Manual Training department of the Toulon High School was organized at the beginning of this school year, and a room in the southeast corner of the basement was cleaned out and renovated with whitewash, to house the classes and equipment. The department began its work with about forty boys enrolled in three classes. There being no equipment at hand for work, the boys brought tools from home and began work, with old materials, found at hand in the basement, to make such of the equipment as could be profitably made in the shop. In this way desks for mechanical drawing were built along the walls, being hinged so that they could be turned up out of the way when not in use. Saw-horses were constructed, and a tool room built. A bench for staining, and shelves for paints were also made, and a cabinet wras built to fit in one end of the tool room of such a size as to accommodate a lot of old drawers that were found in one corner of the basement. These made convenient lockers for the smaller tools and drawing outfits of the students. By the time this work had been completed the mechanical drawing kits that had been ordered had arrived and wmrk was commenced on mechanical drawing. Tw’enty plates, covering many of the fundamentals of the art, were made by each student. By the time the most forward of the students had completed these requirements the tools and benches had arrived and were put in place, and work w'as begun on the fundamentals of tool work. The interest manifested in the work has been good and the results attained are abundant evidence of the value of the course, not only as a practical subject, but in a cultural w ay. An earnest effort has been made to keep to the principles of good design in modeling, and the results obtained are fairly gratifying. However the practical side of the work has not been neglected and some of the boys have made articles for practical use around the farm and home. These include a large hog trough, three wheelbarrow's, a chicken feeder, and a wagon-jack. G. E. WIGGLE. Pajre Seventy TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Societ The g?o o «§ociet 1 ADY gaiety has beamed with favorable approval upon Toulon High this year—and also romance, which is often her fair attendant, has penetrated our ranks and caused to fall—even among the faculty. With the usual weiner roasts, class parties and Junior-Senior banquet the festive spirit and comradeship of the student body seemed to thrive. Dame Fashion is as changeable as the weather. She will bear witness to the fact that tho the girls’ heads are swelling with knowledge, yet the hair is growing less. In fact, some have resorted to a “bob” to improve their looks and as a result their beaus (bows) have gone to their heads. Very early in the school year 1921-22 it was discovered that T. H. S. had an unusually congenial faculty. A picnic in the woods in September revealed the fact that they even agreed as to the ideal car, “The Ford.” Mr. Wiggle covered himself with glory as a chief, and the added company of the “Better Halves” added to the festive spirit. The students as well as the faculty spent many evenings roasting weiners over a cheerful camp fire. As hoary winter makes known his timely arrival, we withdraw from the campfire to the more dignified halls. There have been fewer class parties than usual this year, but what few there were, they have been a credit to the school. genior Freshman Parti] The first party was given to the Seniors by the Freshmen October 28th, celebrating Hallowe’en. The ghosts and goblins (Freshies) welcomed the Seniors to a party celebrating their anniversary. They had asked us to dress in their costumes, whereby we might “come nearer together.” Games were played and refreshments of popcorn and apples were served. All enjoyed themselves to their hearts’ content, and went home feeling that the Freshmen and their advisers, Miss Brown and Mr. Wiggle were excellent entertainers. TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Page Seventy-three Trie o Football banquet A banquet was given in the dining-room of the Congregational church Monday night, December 12th, for the football squad. Over ninety men sat down at 6:45 to a most excellent dinner, which had been prepared by the mothers of a number of the boys in the squad. Rev. M. J. Norton asked the blessing, and, following the dinner, Dr. Fred Brown acted as toastmaster and introduced the various speakers in a very humorous manner. The responses were in a similar vein, and the audience was kept in a continuous roar of laughter. The speakers were L. T. Jackson, president of the Board of Education; Rev. M. B. Van Leer, William Hawkes, Edgar Blair, A. H. Grange, Roy Walker, R. N. Wilford, coach, and Paul Leitch, the captain for next year’s team. At the conclusion of Coach Wilford’s talk, Edgar Blair took the opportunity to present him with a watch fob with a small football attached to same, and on the ball engraved “Toulon-1921.” The gift was from the squad. The entii’e evening was greatly enjoyed by all. The dinner was excellent, being well prepared and well served. JllFSchooI Party An all-school party, including the faculty and members of the school board, was given by the Senior class on December 22nd. There were only two things required to obtain admittance—to bring a present for the Christmas tree and to “slide in.” Several members of the faculty found it such fun that it was necesary for them to give vent to their feelings by another slide. The chief attraction was the dazzling tree on which hung a present for every one. An entertaining program was given, composed of the following numbers: Several selections by the Senior Boys’ double quartet; a vocal solo by Audrey Adams; a humorous poem on the faculty, written by the class poet, Ernest Robson; last, but not least, was the distribution of the presents. The ten cent store was well represented from rattles and squawkers to jumping monkeys. After the various gifts had been “tried out” the floor was cleared for dancing. Light refreshments of brick ice cream and wafers were served. Page Seventy-four TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 rftigh School Carniual Have you ever heard of the old magician, Fred L. Griffith, who, on the night of January 27th, waved his w and transforming the High school building into bedlam hall? ’Tis said that the ghosts of Blue Beard’s wives haunted the old geometry room and that Blue Beard himself told the tale. Many discoveries were made in the zoo which probably will never be witnessed again by human eye. The fattest woman in the world occupied one room, but w7here she is today no one knows. Poor Headless Harry has since been taken to the asylum for being out of his head. Among all this jargon the Innocent Babes played fearlessly. A famous Old Chief, the most ancient of his tribe, read fortunes quit accurately. In one room, largest of them all, pictures flashed on a screen; a distinguished German band, under the direction of von Sarli, wielded their squeaky instruments with grace. Several pantomimes were given. ’Twas rumored that some old witches had prepared a hot lunch and alarming evidence was found next day. The old building was alight and shouts and laughter wrere heard as far as Main street. Several worthy towmsmen investigated the next morning, but all wras still. All of last night’s frivolity had disappeared and no more has been seen of the old magician. This carnival was put on by the faculty and students for the benefit of The Tolo, and about $125 wras realized for this purpose. Faculty banquet On the evening of March 31st, the faculty was served by the Domestic Science class, under Miss Browm’s direction, and we take this occasion to thank the girls for the delightful dinner. The entertainment was cleverly planned by Miss Silliman, who introduced such astonishing characters as “Mabel and Sable,” “Tom, the Trou-bador,” “Edgar Lee Masters,” “Mr. and Mrs. W. Green,” “The Mad Hatter,” and the “March Hare,” “Mr. and Mrs. April Fool,” “Ichabod Crane,” “Jack and Jill,” and the small town politician, “John Doe.” Between courses thrilling ghost tales were told in sepulchural tones, and most embarrassing moments were revealed. Let us remark right here that we think those of Mrs. Haw'kes, and Miss Murray should receive the Tribune reward. A play w'as almost given, after the dinner some flash-light pictures wrere taken and the company reluctantly parted, declaring this faculty dinner the most succesful ever. TOULOX HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Page Seventy-five o The tjjo JuniorvSenior Reception The crowning event of the year was the Junior-Senior banquet held April 14th in Caverly’s Hall. All day long the Juniors were busily engaged preparing the hall for the evening festivities. The windows were decorated with crimson and cream, and this color scheme was effectively carried out. The place cards and nut baskets were also in crimson and cream. The mothers of several members of the Junior class had prepared the five-course dinner to which eighty-four sat down. The waitresses were chosen from the Freshman class. At the close of the dinner the tables were cleared away. Every one was given a pencil and paper and a name was pinned on his back. The person who could read the most names received a prize; as usual the lucky person was a member of the faculty—namely, Mr. Hultgren. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. The following program was given: Piano Solo ..... Welcome ...... Response ..... Vocal Solo ..... Frances Packer John Pyle Edgar Blair Miss Jones Class History Class Prophecy Class Will . Violin Duet {Martha Xicholson Fred Durbin [ Bessie Hankins I Roy Dutton {Ada Winans Ernest Robson f Theodore Hartley i John Berry The “Lux Solis” was formally presented to the Junior class. We hope they will be able to keep it safely in their favorite haunts. A very original and entertaining feature was the picture gallery in which the Seniors were represented as they will appear ten years hence. Some of us have rather discouraging futures to face. As a class we take this means in expressing our appreciation for the delightful banquet which we feel was a decided success.

Says she: “Only fools are positive. And that’s true, surely as you live.” “Are you very sure,”? says he, “Why just as positive as can be.” Mr. Wilford—“Germs carried on wind are killed by sunshine.” Lloyd Armstrong—“If they were carried at night, would the moonshine kill them?” EASILY ANSWERED. Hultgren—“When they wish to make a balloon rise they throw out the ballast. What do they do when they want to come down ?” Eleanor Grange—“Take the ballast on again.” Our superintendent is Hawkes, On every occasion,—he talks. Not a boy dares sally Forth into the alley For why did they make the sidewalks? Miss Silliman (teaching Fi’eshman English)—“Why did Pew, the blind man, come to Benbow Inn?” Samuel Wrigley—“He wanted to see Captain Bill.” Mr. Griffith—“W’hy are people in Illinois called suckers?” Raphael Sarli— “Well, Illinois is the corn state and we are named for the suckers on the corn.” Bob—“What is the hardest thing they encounter in aviation?” Rob—“The earth.” In French, there is Nancy Watt Walker, In the tongue, she’s a fancy hot talker. You can ask her a word, That she never has heard, And she’ll bluff it before you can balk her. Floyd—“Do you ever go to church?” Lawrence—“Never was in church but twice in my life. First time they threw water on me, and the second time they threw rice on me.” Floyd—“Yes, and probably the next time they will throw dirt on you.” TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Page Eighty-seven o T e Waiter—“What will you have, sir?” Miller—“I’ll have prunes.” Waiter—“Stewed, sir?” Miller—“None of your business.” A Freshman’s idea of Silliman And the English that she tries to drill ’em in. Why say, she’s a fright. You must stay up all night. Such lessons are enough to kill a man. Wilford—“When does the lobster swim?” Zella Young—“When it is in the water.” One cold day Walter Sheets drove his Ford car to school. As he was covering the radiator, Fred Talbert said: “No use to cover it up Walter, we’ve already seen it.” The Quartette leader is named Miss Jones, The boys, they say, all love her. From her they learn such cries and moans, They would not have another. Freshman—“Lend me two bits and I’ll be eternally indebted to you. Senior—“Yes—I am afraid so.” Miss Norton, of Latin, the teacher, The Sophomores would fire, could they reach her. But they’d better be good, For it’s now understood That she’ll soon be the wife of a preacher. Junior—“Why are these Freshies like real estate?” Soph—“That one gets me.” Junior—“Because they’re a green empty lot.” IN DOMESTIC SCIENCE. Miss Brown—“How do you pasteurize milk?” Celia Epperson—“By putting the cow in a pasture.” Good natured and jolly, is Fred But he has lots of brains in his head. He once had a cow. He hasn’t her now. She’s back where he got her instead. Freshman Girl—“Pardon me, sir, for walking on your feet.” Dancing Partner—“Oh that’s all right, I walk on them myself you know.” Page Eighty-eight TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 o The gjo OUR MORNING WORSHIP. Dwain Wallace—“We have church sen-ice every morning.” John Nowlan—“How come?” Dwain—“Well, Mr. Stonier rings the bell down stairs, then Miss Jones’ choir sings, Miss Murray reads from the Scriptures, and we all pray.” In Physics there’s Hultgren the Swede, In the basketball team he puts speed. Altho he says “Yump” When he ought to say “jump,” He’s a pretty good coach, it’s agreed. MODESTY. “Why do trees turn red in the fall?” “They are blushing because they will be left bare.” There once was a teacher named Lynch, With her, mathematics was a cinch. She would treat the kids rough, They must sure get the stuff, Or they’d soon find themselves in a pinch. Mr. Griffith—“Opal, where is the Panama Canal?” Opal—“In New York.” Nona Miller—“Did you hear that mock entertainment, this morning?' Dorothy Davis—“No, explain yourself.” Nona—“Well, Pearl Mock played and Jennie Mock sang.” And then, there’s the small one. Miss Brown, She teaches her classes, up town. She wears specs on her eyes, Teaches the girls to make pies, And also, to make her own gown. Miss Murray—“Does any question bother you?” Ernest Robson—“No, the questions are perfectly clear. It is the answers that puzzle me.” We all know the handsome Miss Jones, She’s adapted to rolling the bones. But when she’s on duty She sure is a beauty In producing of musical tones. Miss Brown (in Domestic Science)—“How do you purify H20?” Isabelle Duncan—“By fertilization.” TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1922 Page Eighty-nine John Sheets has a peculiar habit of collecting hair nets. He actually had the nerve to take one from Miss Silliman’s hair one day in class. There’s Wilford, who leads us in football. The girls all adore him but that’s not all. He’s their basket ball coach And if his wife should approach On his dome, she’d apply hard, a big maul. Mr. Griffith—“How much of a salary does the President receive each year?” Opal—“Thirty-five hundred dollars.” To Alice’s amazement, the young man in the parlor suddenly threw himself on his knees, as he entered. “Miss Bort,” said he, “will you be my wife?” “Y—Y—Yes, Robert,” replied she, gasping for breath, “but I thought you had serious intentions on Helen.” “I have,” said Mr. Nowlan, “Pm only practicing now.” Our principal is Nina J. Murray, About promptness, a great deal, does worry. If you once should be late. You would sure meet your fate; In the future I’ll bet that you hurry. Soph—“How many subjects do you carry?” Freshie—“I’m carrying one and dragging three.” Raymond Morgan—“This is the best work I have ever done.” Bill McWilliam— Don’t let that discourage you.” Mr. Hawkes—“What two things are helpful to mankind in getting up in the world?” Harold Cox—“The alarm clock and the stepladder.” Mr. Wiggle, a shop runs down stairs; There he has some interesting affairs; A bullet was dropped In the stove and it popped; Let Bill try it again if he dares. Bill had a billboard. Bill also had a board bill. The board bill bored Bill so. Bill sold the bill board to pay his board bill. So after Bill sold the bill board to pay the board bill, the board bill no longer bored Bill.
