As in most classes some have dropped out, some ha”e moved away, and three are married, leaving a class of 38 to graduate this year, the largest graduating class in the history of the High School. Our class always wanted to be first in everything. In our Freshman year we were largest in number, Sophomore year the dumbest, Junior year the most ambitious, and in this, our last year, the most disorderly. -- Of course this is the brainiest class that has ever gone through T. H. S. We have musicians, vocalists and artists, and an orator, and time will tell that the members of the class of 1925 were born to be famous. Our boys have taken a great part in athletics all through the four years and have helped to roll up the score. In our Freshman year to start our High School life out right we gave the Seniors a Hallowe’en party in the form of a masquerade. A great number of our members took part in the operetta “Miss Cherry Blossom” and Bo VanLeer took the leading role. In our Sophomore year the enrollment was 42. At the beginning of the second semester we entered the new building. Three of our distinguished boys were members of the first football squad. They were Egbert, Porter and Lee. In the spring of that year wfe entertained the Seniors to a weiner roast at Saxon. When school opened the next fall our number had increased to 46. We obtained a Lyceum Course in order that we might secure funds for the Junior-Senior banquet. The banquet proved a great success. An operetta. “Yanki San,” was presented during this year in which many of our class again took part. We entered our Senior year as dignified as Seniors might be. We entertained at a Christmas party for the entire school and faculty. Edward Slygh graduated in music and also accompanied the Boys’ Glee Club. The class as a whole put on the annual Carnival for the benefit of the “Tolo” and last but not least came the Senior Class Play which was the greatest success of the year. The Class of ’25 leaves school with great ambitions. AMEN. TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Page Nineteen - cUhe 1925 Tolo 1 ! ! i I l I I I I ! | i i l l ! I i I Senior Class PropheeyO In his flight around the world Old Father Time Sent us a message written in rhyme. It fortells of the Seniors— At the end of fifteen years. We will read what he says of them, one at a time. This is the news of the lucky Forrest Henry; He purchased a farm and all modern machinery. But now he doesn’t toil— On his farm they struck oil. And he spends money as if it were going to spoil. This fact’s accepted without exclamation, That Miss Lucille Wallace is head of the nation. Since the women have the vote, The man is made the goat, And his rights are dealt out by ration. Miss Bo VanLeer, you know all about her; She’s the very same Bo, tho’ a little bit stouter. She’s a farmer’s wife now And each day milks the cow, And her husband could ne’er do without her. To work rides Helen Nowlan On a New York inter urban; She wears a black bonnet With a red ribbon on it, And preaches and sings on the curbin’. Now here’s the handsome Miss Beamer, The reports all say she’s a killer. You may know this by choice Is due to her voice. All the theatres try hard to bill her. Miss Ruby Sheets and Miss Fell, too, ; Pose in Churchill’s window, is all that they do. A sign overhead, By everyone read, “If we can fit these two we can surely fit you.” And here is Miss Florence Bangson, A “T. H. S.” teacher you’re meetin’; She won’t take a bluff, And treats the kids rough, And gives each one a sound beatin’. Page Twenty TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL cUhe 1925 ‘Tolo- You’ll be surprised at Miss Sweat— She is still a great talker; She’s also some factor, As a vaudeville actor; She makes every man a regular gawker. And then there is Miss Appenhelmer: She’s got a wonderful line; She’s selling insurance, Largely by her endurance. To be rid of her you 11 make time. You’ve heard of Robert Fuller— He cut an astonishing caper: Thro’ Harvard and Yale He passed without fail. But! with paste and a brush, to hang paper. John Dunlap with a solemn face. Pealing forth his rolling bass. Never thinks of his wonderful grace; Leads the choir, one and all In the cathedral of St. Paul. There’s Welch, whose first name is Bill; For a living he set up a still; The first time he brewed The whole town got stewed; And now he’s in jail on the hill. There is a lady—Miss Dixon— Who has just invented a fixin’: Which with the girls of today Is a hit every way; ’Tis a powder that thro’ the ram sticks on. And then there is Miss Geneva Ham. Tho really she’s a great sham; By the boys on the street, For, her popcorn they eat Which makes them smile like Uncle Sam. We all feel sorry for Gibson, Every night he’s made to stay in. Now honest, I ain’t joshin’; He helps his wife Helen do the washm ; Which for a living she’s forced to take in. TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Page Twenty-one (Z5he Tolo 1925 You all remember Paul Nicholson. How he always did look for a girl. When all at once one came to him in a whirl, But what he wanted was a good cook; So Ethel Carter for a wife he took. There’s Miss Armstrong, Ruth by name; Tho’ modest in school, she’s not now the same. As a great politician She’s won recognition, And has won for herself great fame. Jack Sheets is struggling hard to win fame. He’s now just beginning to get in the game, For not being sooner he is not to blame. Your portrait on canvas he’s willing to paint, Providing you, during the ordeal, do not faint. Madelin Cullom runs a variety store; With a smile her customers she meets at the door; Her store, it is neat; Her clerks, they are sweet; Such a store there ne’er was before. Our friend, Miss Betty Allen, Has won a very high place. For she’s won the admiration Of the entire Hindu nation. Which is largely due to her happy, bright face. Miss Ruthe Whittaker’s office in Broadway; There she is followed by a crowd each day, For she’s queen of stenographers. And haunted Ly photographers. And her boss would lose her if he drove ’em away. Now the daring man Elmer Lee, Fell from his plane like a flea. It went out of fix While doing some tricks; Thus was his flight slightly hindered- As usual, Smithy was late— And thus it was he met his fate: And in order to save us. He promised to marry Miss Leigh, (When we left they were setting the date). Page Twenty-two TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL (Z5he 1925 ‘Tolo Everett Henry decided not to take any chance. No other trade did he know, so he learned to dance, It wasn’t long unt.l he knew how to prance, Gracefully o’er the floor he is able to glide, In teaching the girls he takes the greatest of pride. In a dressmaking shop Erma Gray is found, F.tt ng dresses for ladies from all around; Every one praises her work, we are told. For she is not a maid very bold But for very high prices her dresses are sold. Who committed that murder and where is he now? Is the question he asks every row. For Miles Egbert is a member of the Chicago police, As his long right arm is like a brace, And it seems that crimes will never cease. There was an old maid, Sibella Rutherford, And Oh! she gave us a look that turned us to our Lord, When we asked for her age— To put on this page— She called in Ed Slygh to hit us with a board. Bessie Clucas has worried till her hair is gray, And she’s no longer laughing and happy ami gay; She is still an old maid and always will be; For she has a wooden leg “by gee.” Tho’ she’s tried all her charms, the men still are free. The Radio has a man that suie makes a hlttin’. The cornet artist, Harry Wh.tten. His cornet screech.n’ Is one all his own; Tho’ it’s awful, it’s greatly bitten. Julia Ham, the little Irish maid. Gave all the “T. H. S.” boys lemonade; Till she with her winning smile. Got little George Dalrymple the first mile; Now she has him using the spade. We have left Edgar Sams and Sarah Crowe; On the face of each is a very broad smile. Such a task we have carried, We had them get married ; And now we will quit for a while. TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Page Twenty-three cUhe ‘Tolo 1925 - Senior Class Will We, the members of the Senior Class, who are about to leave the joys and happiness of our present state and go out in the big world in quest of our fortunes, do hereby bequeath all that which made us so prominent in school activities, to the members of the Junior class.

Whittaker Egbert Wrig.ley Foglesong Grieve Football Season Mr. Beckman came to Toulon this year and turned out a real good football team and basketball team. He worked very faithfully all through the seasons with the boys. Toulon owes a greater debt of gratitude to Mr. Beckman than it can ever understand, and he will get the Toulon teams to the top sooner or later. He has written her name along with the best and has given our school a good rep. 1924 FOOTBALL SQUAD “Alas that spring should vanish with the rose. That youth’s sweet scented manuscript should close.” The above two lines’ lament exactly applies to the feelings of the Seniors as their days grow shorter. Every one will feel, however, a pang of regret when they think that many Toulon athletes, who held forth so nobly, on field and floor during the past few years, will leave places to be filled with new men. It must be so, however, the cycle swings slowly but it swings surely, and the future holds greater store than ever. Among those who are performing their last for Toulon at the present are: JOHN DUNLAP Captain Dunlap has been two years in athletics, received two letters and stars for football and basketball. He put fight in his team when the odds were against it. He was right half-back and a good open field runner. Page Thirty-four TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL cUhe (Tolo 1925 ELMER LEE Lee earned a letter and two stars in football. Shifted from tackle to full-back, he was called the OLD WAR HORSE of the team because lie strengthened the team on defense and opened many a hole for a gain by his teammates. MILES EGBERT Egbert earned a letter and two stars in football. He held center position for two years. A hard worker with the do or die spirit. He was well known by his opponents on the defense because none of them ever got through. GEORGE WELCH Welch, a natural line plunger and a fast field runner, made himself a name, and a letter and a star. He never failed to gain and could drop-kick a goal when necessary. EARL SMITH Smithy was our quarterback and he could run his team straight up and down the field with very good gains. He was a very good drop-kicker. CHARLES FOGLESONG ‘‘Fluey” is well known at tackle and full-back. He is one of the best punters Toulon ever had. He is very fast and a good defensive man. SAM WRIGLEY “Sambo” played a bard game at tackle; he was always in the mix-up, but not underneath. This was his first year of football, but he earned his “T.” ROBERT FULLER Bob was the find of the season, a demon on receiving forward passes and a sure tackier. This also was his first year of football and he made himself a name at the end position. TOM OGLE “Tim” was elected captain for 1925, and it is sure he will send them through with a perfect season. He has earned a letter and a star for his good work. CLIFF WHITTAKER Cliff was a good end and he has earned his first letter in football. He was out the first part of the season with a broken thumb, but watch him go next year. ROBERT WHITTAKER “Mary” is well known at guard. He has earned a letter and a star. He was hurt this season at full-back so had to go in the line. He was a fast defensive man. ROY STOVER “Fiji” is well known at end. He scored a touchdown in his first game of football. Watch him go next year. TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Page Thirty-five - cZ5he 1925 ‘Tolo “SUBS” Charles Smith, Edwin Chaudoin, and Ernest Swango are the three left over. They will be well known next year. They were regular to practice and earned a letter, they will have prominent positions next year. SCORES OF THE GAMES Toulon Bradford Toulon Galesburg 1 oulon. . . .

E. O’Keefe, who patiently worked with the boys through football, basketball, and track. He is largely responsible for keeping our athletes in fighting trim; and not only physically, for while he works on us he gives us good sound advice and encouragement which has been of great help in our contests. All his work has been free to the boys. The athletes of T. H. S. take this opportunity to thank “Doc” for his valuable services to us.

Thirty men were out trying for positions and the coach, Mr. Beckman, had to pick his first team from these in a few days’ practice to play the first game. PRINCEVILLE AT TOULON The first game of the season was won by Princeville 47 to 9. The game gave the coach a chance to get a good idea of his material. TOULON AT WYOMING Toulon won the second game of the season by trimming Wyoming 14 to 9. The team showed much improvement over the week before, especially in basket shooting and team work. KEWANEE AT TOULON In one of the fastest and closest games of the season Kewanee won 19 to 15. The game was hard fought and the score was tied at the half. A Kewanee player made two baskets in the last minute of play. WILLI AM SFIELD AT TOULON Toulon went down to defeat before the Williamsfield team 20 to 9. Williamsfield was in the lead during the whole game but our boys fought hard till the whistle blew. WYOMING AT TOULON Toulon easily won another victory from Wyoming 16 to 10. The game was hard fought and clean throughout. BRADFORD AT TOULON Toulon won another victory on the home floor from Bradford 20 to 14. The game was a fast one and the team showed a good defense against their opponents. The game was even till the last few minutes of play then Toulon left them on 14. ALEXIS AT TOULON Toulon went to defeat by the Alexis team 22 to 12. The game was well fought on offensive but poor defensive. TOULON AT ALEXIS In one of the most exciting games of the season Toulon won from Alexis on their floor 24 to 22. Toulon lead through the game but the Alexis boys came back strong. The game was well fougnt on offensive and defensive. Page Thirty-eight TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL - cUhe 1925 Tolo- ORION AT TOULON Orion won from Toulon 24 to 12. Although they lost, the boys played hard and it was a hotly contested battle. TOULON AT ORION Orion won the second game from Toulon 30 to 18. Toulon’s basket shooting was poor. The fast Orion bunch was very accurate in their basket shooting. TOULON AT WILLIAMSFIELD Toulon was defeated by Williamsfield 32 to 16 on their home floor. Toulon was handicapped without their center who was out on account of illness. TOULON AT PRINCEVILLE Toulon was defeated by the fast Princeville team, 35 to 10. Toulon was not able to play od the Princeville floor because it was too small. They could not use their team work and the ceiling was very low. TOULON AT BRADFORD Toulon won the last game of the season from the Bradford team 19 to 18. Toulon led till the last quarter, then Bradford tied the score. Just before the game ended Bradford had a foul called on them for holding. Dunlap shot the foul winning the game by one point. SECOND TEAM GAMES Toulon had a second team who defeated the Wyoming team two games. The first one played on Toulon’s floor 17 to 10. The second one played at Wyoming was 10 to 9. Both games were hard fought and the material will be good next year. They lost two games with Princeville 14 to 7 and 17 to 15. These games were well played and hotly fought till the end of the game.

Great jubilation was paramount among the members of the Toulon High School student body not only because of the final result of the big contest but also on account of the presentation of beautiful trophies to the school which was responsible for the students to return home with their colors flying high. At the close of the athletic meet, Toulon point-winners led those of the other schools by comfortable margins, the score being as follows: Toulon 48 2-3, Bradford 38 1-3, Wyoming 25. LaFayette was un- able to score in the athletic events, there being entries from that school in but a few of the contests. WELL BALANCED TEAM Riding to victory on the inexhaustible endurance and fleet limbs of Elmer Lee, sterling distance runner, and further ahead by means of Thomas Ogle’s prowess in the weight events, Toulon Township High School was placed in line as a strong contender at an early stage of the meet. The local school did not depend entirely on these two athletes, however, as additional points were piled up by Dick Grieve, Edwin Chaudoin, Earl Smith, Haydn Heaton, Allen Williams, George Dalrymple, Roy Stover, John King and Ralph Talbert. The fact that Coach Beckman’s team was a well balanced band of athletes is evidenced by the fact that the local school received points in each of the various events, a record which has not been made by any one team in recent years. LEE SHOWS FINE WORK The excellent work of Elmer Lee, Toulon’s distance runner, received commendation from all. He easily won the mile, the half-mile, the 440-yard dash, second in the 220-yard dash, and carried the baton in the relay race in the last lap. His athletic performance of the afternoon, however, was climaxed in the evening when he tied for first place with Raymond Brady, of LaFayette, for first declamation honors.

HIGH SCHOOL DECLAMATORY At the close of the athletic events, although Toulon was leading Bradford and Wyoming by more than ten points, the final result of the meet was not to be determined until after the declamatory contest in the evening. For this reason, the hall was filled with fans representing the various towns. The boys’ contest was held first and in this Elmer Lee, of Toulon, and Raymond Brady, of LaFayette, tied for first honors, the former speaking “The Call to Arms,” and the latter giving “John Wolf and the Cats.” Although the selections were of a vastly different nature, each was well rendered. Third place was awarded to Joe Comerford, of Wyoming, who spoke, “Gentlemen, the King.” In the girls’ contest, Miss Helen Meston, of Bradford, was awarded first honors with “Ashes of Roses.” Miss Florence Bangson, of Toulon, was awarded second place with “Sally Ann’s Experience.” Third place was awarded to Miss Lucille Byerly, of Wyoming, who spoke a selection entitled, “Her First Recital.” The Toulon High School sang a number of selections during the evening and several selections were also played by the Wyoming Boy Scout Band of thirty pieces, directed by Horace White, of Wyoming. Points won by the four schools in the declamatory program were as follows: Toulon, 111 2 Bradford, 8; LaFayette, 6 G; Wyoming, 6. 1 I_________________________________________________________________________ TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Page Forty-one Page Forty-two TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL (Z5he 1925 olo--------------- ■- cUhe 1925 cTolo - boosters’ Club During the football season a “Boosters' Club” was organized and any student wishing to become a member of this club paid a dollar, which admitted him to the different football games of the season which were played on the home field. The purpose of this club was to create a better school spirit among the students of the High School. Each member was permitted to wear a booster emblem with T. H. S. on it. This Club also continued through the basket ball season. The Girls’ League was organized by Miss Silliman for the purpose of creating a better school spirit among the girls. It was decided that the girls as well as the boys should be given a letter if they earned enough credits in the different clubs. Each girl could belong to two clubs beside the Health Club. The four different clubs were: The Health Club, The Hiking Club, The Service Club and The Physical Training Club. The members of each club chose one of the teachers as their advisor. The Cornhuskers’ Club was organized the latter part of September, 1924, by Mr. Hawkes. It is composed of Senior boys only and its purpose is to make the boys acquainted with parliamentary law and vocational training. The last semester a number of business men were asked to talk to the boys on their respective occupations. The senior boys took interest in the proceedings of the Club, and were benefitted by its organization. Mr. F. L. Griffith was our advisor and by his able assistance much was gained. We appreciate his help and interest as a friend.

The girls of the Senior Class were all eligible. They were accordingly organized and elected a president, vice-president and secretary. These officers were changed every month so as to give the various girls practice in presiding over a club- The Club met on Friday each w'eek from 9:00 to 9:45. The programs consisted mainly in short talks by the various girls discussing etiquette and other problems which the High School and College girl has to solve. Miss Silliman also gave a series of talks from lectures given by Miss Daniels to the Freshman girls at the University of Columbia about the college girls and the various rules they should observe. This also pertained to High School girls. Taken in all it has been a very fine movement and has helped the girls a great deal in their everyday life. Although the weather was not of the best, and possibly a few were kept at home, the rain did not prevent those who did attend this year’s Tolo Frolic a hilarious time. It w'as held at the High School March 13, The first part of the program w-as spent in visiting the many concessions throughout the building. The Athletic Contest, the Minstrel Show, Mrs. Jarley’s Wash Works, and the Bathing Beauties w ere the special attractions in the side shows, along with the Fish Pond, Spook Room, Photographer, and the Fortune Telling Booth. The second part of the program consisted of the Food Sale and the Main Show which consisted of Shadow Pictures, A Modern Play, and Mrs-Black’s Pink Tea. This carnival was put on by the faculty and students for the benefit of the Tolo. Carnival 1925. TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Page Forty-live Page Forty-six TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL ---cUhe 1925 Tolo - Operetta “The Gypsy Rover” was presented February 27 and 28 by the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs. All members of both Glee Clubs took part in at least one or more choruses. This is a brief synopsis of the operetta: Rob, later known as Sir Gilbert Howe, is stolen when an infant by his nurse, Meg, a gypsy, and grows to manhood among the gypsies. Lady Constance Martendale and her fiancee. Lord Craven, while riding wander into the gypsy camp where Constance and Rob meet and fall in love. They plan to elope but their plan is discovered and Rob is captured and thrown in prison; later he escapes. Rob comes into his estate, his identity being proven by Meg. Rob becomes a successful composer, a friend of the Prince and a social lion. Constance and Rob are happily married in the end.

Edward Slygh ........Elmer Lee Miss Olive Kackley, who puts on the Senior Class Play in one week’s time, has come to Toulon for so many years that she has been known and admired by Senior students for the past ten years. She is a woman of rare personality and influence, whose short stay in the High School leaves a lasting impression on the lives of the young people. The Senior play was given by the class of 1925, the nights of March 27 and 28. Booth Tarkington plays, as well as his books portray a character so human you recognize him the minute he steps out. Clarence (Edgar Sams) in spite of being brought up by cannibals, was a quiet, serious type, qualified to drive mules without swearing, to tuning pianos and being the plumber. Miss Pinney (Erma Gray) was a reliable governess who tried to bring order out of chaos in the Wheeler home. George Dalrymple, as Bobby Wheeler, was the perfect type of a modern boy, proud of the fact he had been expelled from three prominent schools, and older—years older than any one else in the family. The sister (Helen Nowlan) was played so well that when she cried you felt as if you would like to take her by the shoulder, as did her irritable father (Miles Egbert), and shake her roundly. Miles Egbert, as Mr. Wheeler, acted admirably the part of an overworked, irascible father, and brought forth many a laugh at his excitement. His wife, Mrs. Wheeler (Madelin Cullom), cleverly represented the jealous maid who used the wiles of her sex to bring her husband to his senses. Elmer Lee, as Hubert Stem, stalked indignantly in and out of the play. The attractive little house maid (Julia Ham) did so well that she won the hearty admiration of the audience as well as that of the butler. Dinwiddie (Edward Slygh), the ideal servant, crisp as lettuce, who took his position as seriously as he did himself. John Dunlap was the capable business manager of this play. Ethel Leigh was the able secretary-treasurer of the play but every Senior did all in his or her power to make the play a success.

As there was a sudden change in the weather it was held in the High School Gymnasium. Many games were played and the weiner roast turned out to be quite a success. Hallowe’en Q arty The first party was given to the Seniors by the Freshmen on October 31, celebrating Hallowe’en. The Seniors upon arriving were taken up a long stairs through dark rooms and were knocked about terribly by the little Freshies. They were finally taken into the Gymnasium which was very attractively decorated with dry leaves and corn stalks. Many games were played in one part of the Gymnasium while dancing was enjoyed in the other part, after which refreshments of apples, pumpkin pie with whipped cream and hot chocolate were served. Every one enjoyed himself from the smallest Freshie to the wisest Senior. The Christmas ‘-Party “At Christmas play, and make good cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year.” The High School Gymnasium was the scene of one of the most interesting parties of the year, on December 19, when the Seniors gave an all School party. A very delightful Christmas play was given entitled “The Toy Shop,” in which many of the students took part. After the play Santa Claus presented each guest with a Christmas gift. Many games and dancing were enjoyed by all. Dainty refreshments were served consisting of cake and brick ice cream with little green Christmas trees in it, after which the guests departed never to forget this Christmas party. TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Page Fifty-three ---cuhe 1925 To o - Junior-Senior Reception The social event of the year most looked forward to by the upper classmen was the Junior-Senior reception. Every spring it is the custom for the Juniors to give the Seniors a farewell party in the form of a banquet. The gymnasium was decorated very artistically in the Senior class colors, blue and white. The dinner was prepared by the mothers of the Juniors and it was served by twelve Freshmen girls. The whole banquet was worked out to carry out the thought of an airplane. The menu was as follows: Aviator’s Cheeks High Fliers White Clouds Spark Plugs Cushioned Seats Lover’s Choice Sunlight Products Setting Sun Greased Cylinders Sweetness and Light Gasoline Aeroplane Salad White Wings Aviator’s Delight Heavenly Cake Twisted Rainbows Nuts At the close of the banquet a program of toasts was given, with Clifford Berry, President of the Junior Class, acting as toastmaster.

FLAPPERS There are flappers who are pretty, There are flappers who are witty, There are flappers who are worth their weight in gold. These flappers all are youthful, And of course they all are truthful, But the latest trick with them is always old. There are flappers who are healthy, There are flappers who are wealthy, There are those who do not drink, or so ’tis said. Iheie are flappers who are slender, There are flappers who are tender, There are flappers who are angels, but they’re dead!

A. Williams: “Well, Dick, you will make a good son-in-law.” Sophomore: “Why does a stork stand on one leg?” Freshie: “I’ll bite, why?” Sophomore: “If he lifted the other leg he would fall down.” Tom Ogle: “I just needed a little more to get out of exams. Reigle: “You should study more nights ” Tom: “I don’t work nights.” LAZY (Dedicated to Joe Swank.) Oh! when is that good time coming, When we don’t work no more? I’d like to pack my duds and go To that there goiuen shore, And loosen all my buttons And eat a mighty heap Of roasted chicken and lobsters, And sleep and eat and sleep! I’d love to go a-fishing In the everlasting stream, And hook the line to my big toe And just sit there and dream; I’d like to catch a catfish.
