These Freshies, with the help of the upper-classmen, began the customary routine of getting into the wrong classrooms and being mixed up in general. But they soon adapted themselves to the circumstances and were green no longer. At the beginning of the Sophomore year there were thirty-two in the class During this year two dropped out and one joined the class. During our four years we have lost one member by death. This occurred in our Sophomore year when we were very unfortunate in losing Marguerite Kamerer. In spite of it being such a small class it has been very lively and the school owes a great many of its honors to us. At the beginning of the second semester of our Junior year, the new building was ready for occupancy. Since we were unable to spend all four years in this buiiding we are very thankful that we were able to spend a year and half here. In our Junior year our class was considerably smaller, having only twenty-six members. In our Freshman year many of our boys went out for athletics and our class has been well represented in all lines for four years. The class contains considerable musical talent, there being three or four members in the orchestra each year and it has been well represented in the various glee clubs, operettas and various programs during the four years. Dorothy Davis, pianist for Glee Club and Orchestra, graduated in music this year. In social activities our class has been very successful. The big social event of all four years given by us was the Junior-Senior “Prom,” which was a decided success and enjoyed by all those privileged to attend. The event most looked forward to in our Senior year was the Senior Class Play which was given under the direction of Arthur Holden, of Chicago. This play, “Cappy Ricks,” was highly successful and considered one of the best ever given by a class in Toulon High School. Our motto is, “Enter to learn, go forth to serve.” Four years ago we entered to learn and now as we are about to go forth to serve we look back upon the four years of our High School career and say farewell to T. H. S. with much regret. 3 3Es====Sf 3'5 TOULON HIGH SCHOOL; 1924 Page Thirty-three c(3he Tolo Senior Class Prophecy Ten years have elapsed since the graduation of the class of 1924. As previously arranged each member has written us stating their circumstances under which they are now prospering. We received a letter from Alice Bort telling of her great accomplishment as a missionary in the “Wilds of Africa.” She has a large number of black children under her wing. Dorothy Davis is at present directing “The Davis Harmony Orchestra” in the Liberty Theatre of Toulon and is expecting an advancement in a few weeks—we wish her good luck. Iola Fox is making a great success as proprietress of the Ladies’ Barber Shop, for which she has been preparing for a number of years. Nona Miller has held the Tennis Championship for four years. She is at present in the state of California where she is competing in a Tennis Tournament where France, England and America are being represented. We are quite certain that she will be victorious. Lucille McKee has written us that she is now a Grand Opera Singer at the Chicago Theatre, enjoying a wonderful opera season with her famous accompanist, Elizabeth White. Josephine Rashid is now employed as a stenographer in the Illinois State Supreme Court. Helen Smith is making a great success as principal of the very progressive Elmira High School. John Armstrong is now occupying the important position as Pastor of the Elmira Presbyterian church. Zella Young is mistress of the Avondale Stock Farm northwest of Toulon and she writes us that she spends most of her time getting her husband to do the chores. Robert Hartley is a very prominent lawyer of Chicago; his specialties being Divorce Cases and Breaches of Promise. Bill McWilliam is training in South America in order to challenge Firpo for the Heavy Weight Championship. Raymond Morgan is now occupying the position as civics teacher in a school near Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. Adam Oliver is janitor of the “Woman’s College” in Jacksonville, Illinois, and he writes us that he is very happy and in good health. tetBBatSe Page Thirty-four TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1924 ((jhe cTolo ' i Ed Spangler is now in the Jungle of South Africa where he is training animals for the Great Ringling Brothers Circus. Floyd Talbert informs us that he entered the Olympic meet last year and now holds the championship as mile runner. Henry Winans writes us that he now owns “Pep,” the World’s greatest running horse, and that he intends to enter the Kentucky Derby next year. Buthe Smith informs us that she is now the wife of a very prominent lawyer in Chicago. Okla Lester has recently been employed as head stenographer in the very famous “Hartley Law Department” in the city of Chicago and is making quite a hit in society. Gladys Merna is now the notorious champion swimmer and life saver of Senachwine and makes a specialty of saving farmers. Lottie Harmon is head of the Broadcasting Radio Shop in Toulon and from what we hear she is greatly interested in radios and their agents. Lucille Addis tells us that she is now the wife of a very successful engineer of the Rock Island Railroad Company. Robert Nowlan has recently been advanced to the honorable position of Captain of the White Star Dominion Line which is now enroute from Great Britain to the United States. The sailing dates may be gotten at the Parkview Hotel. Eldon Porter has recently become the owner of the Wyoming Poultry House. Margaret Newman is employed as head waitress in Hodges’ Cafe and likes the position very much. 383s ==a0jsB TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1924 Page Thirty-five lT3he ‘Tolo Senior Class Will We, the inmates of the Toulon Township High School, members of the Senior Class, being in an unusual state of mind do solemnly and vehemently swear this to be our last will and testament bequeathing as follows: I, Alice Bort, leave my love to argue with Miss Johnson to Ruth Armstrong.

I, Elizabeth White, do now sorrowfully will the tears which flow from my eyes after recently reading “Down Among the Ozarks,” to any Junior who is so unfortunate as to have her beau leave school.

I, Floyd Talbert, cheerfully bequeath my one and only ambition which is to make April Fool jokes with success to Arthur Gibson. To the Faculty we leave our thanks and appreciation for what you have done for us as well as forgiveness for the many times you have “bawled us out.” I hereby testify that the above Members of the Senior Class have signed before me and sworn at me declaring this their last will and testament.

Due to last year’s graduation many places on the team were left unfilled and the entire backfield had graduated. Consequently new men had to fill their places and due to a general shifting around it was an inexperienced team. This year only four of fourteen letter men graduate so the outlook for next year’s team is very bright.

Only two letter men were back so a new team had to be formed from raw material. Throughout the season the team showed the results of lack of practise due to a late start, by lack of teamwork and speed. The boys played their best game at Orion where they showed speed and teamwork and held the Orion team to a close score. Toulon attended the Peoria District Tournament but was eliminated in the first game by the fast Avery-ville quintet. This year only one letter man graduated leaving seven old men from which to pick a team for next year. Averyville SCORES. . . 20 Toulcn . .. 38 Toulon . . . 31 Toulon . . . 24 Toulon .

Track Men at Lombard and Bradley Meets r cUhe C Ithletic Carnival An athletic carnival was held March 28 to which a small admission was charged, the proceeds of which went into the High School Athletic Association. In a basketball game between the High School team and a team of “Twilight Leaguers” the High School defeated the “Leaguers” 21 to 6. The first basket made was by Brian of the “Leaguers” but the High School led at the quarter and continually gained. The lineup for the H. S. was: Eldon Porter, Charles Foglesong, John Dunlap, Arthur Gibson, Earl Smith and Clifford Whittaker. The other team was composed of Rev. M. B. Van Leer, Rev. Ray Starr, L. E. O’Keefe, J. P. McManus, F. B. Brian and L. E. Myers. Between halves and during the evening interesting stunts were pulled off, one of which was a wheelbarrow race. In a barrel boxing match Ed Spangler came out victorious, knocking Raymond Morgan over two out of three times. A wrestling match between Randall P'ell and Robert Whittaker lasted about twenty minutes. They were evenly matched and no decision was given.

His daughter, Yanki San, is born on the island. She is beloved by the court, but hated by her seven sisters, The Seven Roses of Old Japan. The sisters bribe the Wolf Witch to the Island to cast its evil spell over Yanki San. Rumors of Yanki San’s beauty are carried by the fisher lads to the Court of the Mikado. The Mikado sends ambassadors to the Island to negotiate for the hand of Yanki San. The Prince refuses to let them see Yanki San, and suggests that they take one of the Seven, but they depart in anger. Finally all cures being of no avail, to awaken the Princess from the spell of the Wolf Witch, her father offers her hand to whomsoever will slay the Wolf Witch and break the charm. Prince Oto, the Good, son of the Mikado, slays the Wolf Witch, and carries Yanki San back to Old Japan as his bride. CAST OF CHARACTERS.

Historical subjects, passed over in class because of lack of time were discussed, also programs and debates. A Constitution was drawn up by a committee. The aim of the club was to make History a modern, living science.

This was Mr. Holden’s first year of coaching work here and was very efficiently and successfully done. The play is a three-act comedy written by Peter B. Kyne and was put on in six days’ time. This play is considered a very difficult play for High School students to put on. The play was given both nights before packed houses. © THE PLAYERS.

TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1924 Page Sixty-nine cUhe ToZo f Senior Mock Trial “What in the world are those Seniors talking about?” “Did Raymond and Beryl really have a mixup?” “No, it’s a trial. Haven’t you heard about it?” A mixup right! After plenty of good hal’d thinking we decided to make our Mock Trial a thrilling murder case and chose a love triangle about which to wreave our evidence. In due time the various court officials were appointed and the lawyers put in some strenuous hours hunting every scrap of evidence and securing witnesses. Finally the great day arrived and the courtroom was filled with Seniors, underclassmen, and outsiders eager to learn of Raymond’s fate. Briefly the case brought before Judge Oliver, with Lawyers Miller and Nowlan for the State and Smith and Hartley for the Defendant, was that on the evening of January 17, 1924, Beryl Dalrymple was fatally shot while leaving the home of Mrs. Sarah Chase on Miller Street, after having been in the company of Elizabeth White for the evening. The blame of the crime was laid upon the shoulders of Raymond Morgan and the cause given as his intense jealousy. Judge Oliver rapDed for silence in the courtroom and called the case. Immediately the rapid questioning began and after no small amount of trouble the jury was selected. This done, and the case stated, the lawyers began their interesting cross examination of witnesses. Miss White was the chief witness for the State and her testimony revealed even more tenderness for the deceased than her friends suspected. Minor witnesses were then called and the statements of Zella Young, Helen Hall, Mr. Hawkes and Miss Johnson were recorded. Alice Bort, Lucille McKee, Lucille Wallace, Richard Grieve and Margaret Dalrymple, a cousin of the deceased, gave some valuable information concerning the case and then Mr. Morgan took the stand. Interest was high as the accused snapped out the answers to the questions given him. From the statements of these witnesses we learned many facts dealing with the case and also some interesting things on the side, such as the fact that Beryl was dead because he wasn’t alive; that an average man is five feet tall; and a minute description of “stigmatism.” Following Mr Morgan’s testimony, came Miss Miller’s plea for the State and then Attorney Hartley’s mighty appeal for the acquittal of his client. Judge Oliver then gave his instructions to the jury and that body in charge of Bailiff Spangler retired to fight out the verdict in the English room. Excitement reigned high in the courtroom for many minutes. At last the weary jurors filed in and after a tense moment of silence Foreman Addis read: “Defendant found not guilty!” -3 W Page Seventy «S TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1924 (Z5he C Innual Staff (Reading from left to right) ADAM OLIVER .

Sophomore-Freshman Party Early in the fall, the Seniors performed their traditional duty of entertaining the newly arrived Freshmen. The affair was in the nature of a marshmallow toast and was held in an ideal spot a short distance from town. Members of the two classes, together with their chaperones, hiked out to the selected place, and everyone reported a dandy time in spite of our Senior demerits. Christmas arty The Seniors chose Thursday evening, December 20, for the annual Christmas party and invited their guests to assemble at eight o’clock in the gymnasium, which had been decorated with Christmas bells and ropes of green and red. On the center of the stage, a tree, sparkling with tinsel and snow, held presents for each guest of the evening. After a short program of music and the expression, by some of the faculty of their belief or disbelief in Santa and what they wanted him to bring, the presents were distributed. Games and dancing occupied the rest of the evening. At the close of a Grand March, dainty refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. Valentine Party Members of the Senior class were guests of the Freshmen at a Valentine party which took place in the gymnasium, February 14. During the course of the evening many games were introduced and the Freshmen displayed their skill as entertainers in various ways. The heart scheme was carried out in the writing of verses for valentines and the matching of broken hearts to obtain partners for the dainty supper which followed. During supper several of the Freshmen furnished a pleasing program. Perhaps the most exciting event of the evening was the showing of the Lux Solis by the Seniors and the Freshman dash for it. That candle stick can certainly cause a sensation! seas S3 Seventy-six TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1924 cZ51ie (Yolo 3 s = =”£{ Bass domestic Science LuncKeon The girls of the Domestic Science class observed Washington’s birthday by preparing a luncheon on the afternoon of February 22. Their guests at this pleasing affair were the two Sophomore class advisors, Mrs. Lynch and Mr. Hawkes. The usual red and white color scheme was cleverly carried out, the place cards being little red hatchets. Sandwiches. Cherry Ice. Menu Cocoa. Salad. Cake. Faculty Banquet “Please come in and find your places.” So into a candle-lit room the staid pedagogues of the high school came. “How can we find our places?” “I don’t see my name.” Yes, it was true that no names appeared on the white cards—only a black silhouette. “You are to find the one that looks most like you,” some one volunteered. Mrs. Griffith found hers and immediately Friend Husband proceeded to sit down next to her. “Why that’s not you, Fred,” she said, “it looks more like Mr. Wiggle. There you are over on the other side.” Thus because of some one’s ingenuity Friend Husband could not sit beside Friend Wife and receive the proverbial nudge when he used the dinner fork instead of the salad fork. The menu consisted of the rarest of delicacies and was efficiently served by several girls of the Freshman class. During the dinner a varied program by the Faculty Lyceum Company was given. I presume the reader is unaware of the fact that the Faculty is so organized, but it is and it boasts of great specialists in the fields of readers, dancers, singers, lecturers and musicians. At the hour of nine all departed and with a vote of thanks to every one who had made the banquet a success, especially since Old Man Jinx had played havoc during the day by causing Miss Coffman to become suddenly ill, and having the electric power go off and on thruout the cooking of the various foods. TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1924 Seventy-seven Uhe •ee= 8 � 3 Leap Year Party On the evening of March seventh, the members of the Junior class were guests of the Sophomore class at a Leap Year party. Everyone was asked to appear in hard time costume and this added much to the spirit of the evening's entertainment. A short program was enjoyed and then the time was given over to dancing. Later in the evening light refreshments of ice cream and cake were served, and the Juniors left feeling that the Sophomors had served an excellent role as hosts. Tolo Carnival With an enthusiastic carnival spirit prevailing thruout the evening, the 1924 Tolo carnival, which was held at the High School Friday evening, March 14, proved to be one of the biggest social events of the school year. Keen interest in the event had been stimulated by advance notice and the live interest which those preparing for the carnival displayed. Those who had attended carnivals in previous years at the High School stated that the 1924 event was the most successful event of its kind staged by High School pupils of Toulon. Students and teachers who were responsible for the entertainment called themselves “The High School Amusement Company,” and their many interesting features showed much originality and ingenuity. Among the various features exhibited were the following: A museum with strict- ly 1924 stuff,” King Tut’s Tomb, which the Egyptian government obligingly consented to re-open for “The Amusement Company,” “Twister Lewis,” brother of “Strangler,” in several demonstrations of wonderful athletic prowess, Spangler’s Trained Animals, Madame Clare Voyant, whose accurate predictions were vouched for by a score of leading citizens when she appeared here two years ago, and a big five-act vaudeville attraction which was one of the comic features of the carnival. A deluge of confetti and many balloons added to the spirit of the carnival. An auction sale of food products -was held during the evening and lively bidding competition added a substantial sum to the receipts of the evening. The entire proceeds from all these events and the lunch counter were added to the fund which is being used to defray the expense of publishing “The Tolo,” our High School Annual. J Seventy-eight TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1924 cOhe Tolo gew.—nQgg Junior-Senior Reception The social event most looked forward to by the upperclassmen during the school year is the Junior-Senior Reception. Towards the close of each school year it is the custom for the Juniors to give a farewell party to the Seniors. The gymnasium was decorated in old rose and gold, the Senior colors. Five tables, also decorated with Senior colors and with flowers seated the diners. The dinner was prepared by ladies of the Methodist church and was served by twelve Freshmen girls. The menu was as follows: Fruit Cocktail. Wafers. Creole Chicken. Mashed Potatoes. Gravy. Peas in Patty Shells. Olives. Rolls. Pineapple Salad. Cottage Cheese Balls. Wafers. Sherbet. Angelfood Cake.

Therefore arrangements were made to play the Galva Regulars. The Toulon team won by the score of 5-0. Twenty-five years ago the High School played two base ball games with Toulon Academy. The scores were 15 to 10 and 1 to 0, T. H. S. winning both games. In 1906 the High School played Bradley Polytechnic Institute of Peoria two games of football. Toulon met defeat in both games The scores being 14-11 and 5-0. When the Mohawks white washed the fast Peoria Diamonds in foot ball to the tune of 32-0. When Fred Hook, Leo Hart, Rolla Cole and Will Sweet represented Toulon High School in the bicycle races in the County Meet.

One year and seven days ago, the Board brought upon this real estate a new High School, conceived in liberty but dedicated to the proposition that teachers will be boss. Now we are engaged in the great examinations in said school, testing whether this lad or that that lassie can upward go. We are met at our desks in this school; we have come to solve the puzzling puzzles which our “bosses” have so nobly prepared. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this, but in a larger sense we cannot eradicate, we cannot eliminate, we cannot solve these puzzles. The bold teachers living and dead have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or subtract. We will little note nor long remember what we write here but we will never forget how we feel here. It is for us to be sitting here, assigned to the great task remaining before us, and from these beloved teachers we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave their last portion of grey matter. We are highly resolved that our efforts shall not be in vain and that the mental examinations of we students by the teachers shall perish from this earth. «0s Page One Hundred TOULON HIGH SCHOOL, 1924 (Zjhe TOULON HIGH SCHOOL. 1924 Page One Hundred One cOhe Mr. Griffith—The primary factor of education is numbers.
