THE “THREE C’S.” When our forefathers attended school, they formally spoke of the three “R’s”—reading, ’riting and ’rithmetic. They comprised the school’s curriculum. But in these modern days we need something more advanced, as the three “C’s”—character, culture and citizenship. Like a thermometer, each day our character rises or falls. One’s character commences in early childhood. Therefore parents should consider the child associates and all his reading material. Parents are like a compass, always guiding us in the right direction. Culture is just a synonym for refinement. It does not necessarily mean a college education. People who are kind-hearted, unselfish and have lofty ideas are cultured. A person could have all the wealth in the world and yet not be refined or cultured. If you had a chance to select your type, would you choose culture or wealth ? Our country needs good citizens. Where do they come from—the slums? America is trying to educate her young. Youth that will be good citizens and of use to her some day. In some cities High School students are taught to be better citizens through an organization called “Junior Citizenship.” The pupils are for one day instructed and put into the shoes of their elders holding city offices. They see how the city is governed and help to make the city government better through their knowledge. Then when they become of age they know something about local government from actual experience. Everyone can be a good citizen. Our country needs leaders—some one who is not afraid to do something beneficial. We are born citizens. Are you doing your part? —Thelma Ward.

Perhaps you have a friend whom you love very dearly. You are in his company quite often and you are considerate of him to the extent that you are not rude. But, too often, that is as far as our friendship, from outward manifestations, goes. You overlook chances to perform the little kindnesses, which the poet says, make up the sum of life. You admire him for qualities and accomplishments. Don’t be afraid to tell him so and to give him a word of praise in his moment. It is well to store up these little kindnesses, both given and received, against a time when their memory will be a source of comfort and pleasure in an otherwise weary and sordid existence. Too often people neglect to praise and encourage a friend or to let him know how they love him until after he is dead. It does him little good then. Perhaps a word or a more manifest friendliness on your part would have urged him on to some greater thing. At least, it would have made your life and his happier and this earth a wee bit better place to live in. If you have a friend you love or a person you admire tell him so. If he is the right kind of friend he will appreciate and strive to live up to your friendship. HAVE A MIND OF YOUR OWN. Sammy Jones was eight years old, and in the third grade. He had three pairs of shoes. One pair was red, one green and the last old and nearly worn out. He was invited to a birthday party at his friend’s house and he couldn’t decide which pair of shoes to wear. His brother said he should wear his red ones because if he wore his green ones he would be called a greenhorn. His sister said he should wear his green ones because they would match his suit and not show dirt so much. Sammy became so worried over the matter that he wore his old worn out ones and as a result was ashamed of his shoes at the party. Now don’t anyone be like Sammy. Have a mind of your own and use it. Listen to advice but think it over before you do anything you will be sorry about afterwards. If you let people influence you on small matters perhaps some time later you will be influenced on a more important matter and be led into wrong. You are given a mind and are expected to use it, so do it. —M. Martin. FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS AND THEIR AUTHORS. “I dare do all that doth become a man, Who dares do more is none.”—Shakespeare, “Macbeth.” “All that glistens is not gold.”—Shakespeare, “Merchant of Venice.” “A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort and command.”—Wordsworth, “A Portrait.” “He prayeth best, who loveth best All things, both great and small; March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine 5 For the dear God, who loveth us, He made and loveth all.—Coleridge, “Ancient Mariner.” “Oh wad some power the giftie gie us, To see oursels as ithers see us!” Robert Burns, “To a Louse.” “Cowards die many times before their death: The valiant never taste of death but once.”—Shakespeare, “Julius Caesar.” “Man’s word is God in man: Let chance what will, I trust thee to the death.”—Tennyson, “Coming of Arthur.” “He makes no friend who never made a foe.”—Tennyson, “Lancelot and Elaine.” “But one man of her crew alive What put to sea with seventy-five.”—Stevenson, “Treasure Island.” “Be not the first by whom the new is tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.”—Pope, “Essay on Criticism.” “Tell me not in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream.”—Longfellow, “Psalm of Life.” AGAIN. Seniors go out and blink and blink, And never seem to care or think That this is the way they all begin To hit the trail of I’m all in. But that’s the way it’s always been, And that’s the way it will be again. Juniors go out to get the news, Copy from others and get their views. They never seem to care or know That copying leads to endless woe, But that’s the way it’s always been, And that’s the way it will be again. Sophomores go out to see the show, And thus their averages go far below; And tho’ they think that all is well, Their exams and average will surely tell. But that’s the way it’s always been, And that’s the way it will be again. Freshmen go out to join the dance, And with their lessons to take a chance; But soon they find they’re off the track, And learn too late they can’t come back. But that’s the way it’s always been, And that’s the way it will be again. And so it is from day to day That many fail the passing way And learn alas! when it’s too late, They can’t go thru the passing gate. But that’s the way it’s always been, And that’s the way it will be again. 6 March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine AFTER I GRADUATE. School days over, and life ahead, Am I fit to pass the test? Can I put to use what each book said, And rise above the rest? Or must I live and be content, A common working man, And waste all that my father spent, To put me where I am? With the happy days of freedom past, And grim old life ahead, Work to live is mine at last, To toil for life’s own bread. Am I great enough to keep away From the things I know are wrong? Am I great enough to lose today And arise the next with a song? Am I great enough to keep my heart, My soul and body strong? To play it square and do my part, When every one says I’m wrong? Can I go thru the pitfalls of life? Along that narrow lane, And gain success with honest strife, With a pure and upright name? If I can, then I’m glad, For I’ve passed the great test, And I’ll be thankful to Dad, My teachers and all the rest, For God is watching over all, And He can see the best, And thru our murky battle pall, He knows I’ve passed His test. —R. Burcham. If you have a friend worth loving, Love him. Yes and let him know That you love him, ere life’s evening Tinge his brow with sunset glow. Why should good words ne’er be said Of a friend till he is dead? If you hear a song that thrills you, Sung by any child of song, Praise it. Do not let the singer Wait deserved praises long. Why should one who thrills your heart Lack the joy you may impart? —K. B. March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine JUST TALK. One time while I was in the South, I was standing on a corner in a Georgia village and overheard the following conversation between two old negroes as they ambled down the street: “And dat’s not all, Rastus, ah killed a possum once’t dat wuz six’t foot frum der tip uff hiz noztrails tah der udder tip uff hiz wagger. Hit tuck all mah super-haid know’in tuh git um, Bo, and yo’ know I’se wun uff de earth’s ’riginail sharpshooters.” “Yuh don’ sey so,” said Rastus, “I’se sees nuthin’ common ’bout dat. I’se nebber shoots dem iff dey izz les than siz’t foot.” “Lissen, Black Bo,” said the first, “Iff yo all see’d a possum six’t foot frum his noztrails rite on back, you’d trabble fas’, Bo, you’ trabble fas’.” “Sey, Coon,” said Rastus, “Ah’m going’ tah get con-si-dental wiff yuh. Don’ yo all in-singe on mah coo-rageous doin’s or Ah’ll git mah ra zoo, Bo, and carve you’ so yo’ Missue don re-liz hits her husbun’.” “Keep on, Ign-ant, keep on, and yo’ll haff tah git crutches fo’ you brains. Dat’s de kind uff boy ah iz,” said the first old negro. “Yo’ izz the li’eness nigger ah know,” said the one called Rastus, “But ah’ll let you be, mah spirits ud bodder iff ah hurt you’.” “Don’ worry ’bout de spirits, Blaskie, jus dispute mah word again und you’ll be wid dem.” “Yo’ don’ sey, yo don’ sey,” purred Rastus, “Yo’ bark is wuse dan yo’ bite, yo’ couldn’t bodder a meskito, so jes’ trabble down de way. I’se no time tah lissen tah you’ braggin’.” “Well, I’se bedder be goin’ but git in you’ heaid, Rastus, I’se wunt stan’ fo’ no messin’ wid mah huntin’ pow’ess.” “Oh, dat’s all rite, Shanks, I’se know’ed all de time yo’ wu a grand ’unter but ah jus’ wunted tah be shure.” “Sey, Rastus, did ah ebber tell yah ’bout de time ah shot de alley-gaiter down in de ribber----------” And they drifted on down the street telling tales and arguing. And I wonder if they don’t represent a lot of us in life. Going down life’s road doing a lot of bragging, telling everyone what you are going to do and what you have done. But really talk without action is useless. —Roy Burcham. THE ASSASSINATION OF AIN’T. A small group of students stood in the English room where Good English sat enthroned. “Is there anything else that I or my council can do for you?” he inquired. One of the students advanced. “Oh, most mighty English—” “There’s no need of any fond remarks, Otis. Your brother has been banished and I intend that he shall remain banished! The idea of saying 8 March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine ‘ain’t.’ I won’t have such people in my kingdom.” “Oh, English, I kiss thy hand, but not in flattery, English.” The great king English was thoroughly provoked by now. Even Keith, the star of the English students, begged the repeal of Otis’ brother, Ed, who had been banished for using poor grammar in the class room. “Are you in this too, Keith ? I’m surprised at you!” “Pardon, English; English pardon!” said Slang, who had taken his stand before the throne. “I will bow to the ground begging Ed’s repeal.” “I could be easily moved if I were as weak as you,” was the king’s reply. “But, fortunately, I am not. I am as firm as the court house building, the only king among kings who can say this of himself. As I have said before, Ed is banished, and shall never again enter the class room until he produces a white card and promises never to say ‘ain’t’ again.” A few of the students had separated from the rest. They stood in one corner of the room and seemed to be planning among themselves. Slang now joined them and began to speak. “You go first Woody, and we’ll show the cock-eyed world whether such an old sap as English can rule us! When you give the signal, the rest will follow.” They went back and knelt before the throne, renewing their pleas in addition to the ones already being offered. “Oh, English—” “Disperse! Would you change a man as determined as Miss Silli-man ?” was English’s reply to this plea. “Great English—” “Does not the marvelous Keith kneel to no avail? Do you not know that it is useless for you to attempt where he fails ?” English rebuked them again for their remarks. “Then speak, hands, for me!” It was Woodrow who spoke, and as he uttered the words, he shot English in the shoulder. Immediately the others followed him, the last one being Keith, the star of the English class. “And you, too, Keith? Then fall, English!” With these words the great king fell to the floor, killed by the bullet of his dearest friend’s gun. Milo entered, demanding reasons for the shooting. “It is not, oh, Milo, that I loved English less, but that I loved our school more. As English loved me, I weep for him; as I made wonderful grades in that subject, I loved him ; as he was fortunate, I rejoiced for him ; but as he was ambitious and wished to rule us all, I shot him! Are you so base that you wish to be a slave? Are you so uncivilized that you do not wish to belong to our school? If you are, I have offended you. But remember that what I have done to English you may do to me when you desire my death!” “Very good reasons, Keith, and now leave me to mourn my dead.” Keith left, leaving Milo standing over the body of English. As he de- March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine 9 parted, Milo murmured: “Oh, pardon me, English, that I have listened to his reasons. But over your dead body, I now do prophesy that a curse shall light upon the limbs of men; ignorance shall fall upon the people; ‘aint’ and ‘haint’ shall be in such common use that teachers will whip their pupils for forgetting to use them. It may be that we shall even go back to the ancient sign language; and when that happens how shall the boy friend talk to his lady love?” Editor’s Note:—This is a take-off on Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar.” The Shakespearean characters corresponding to the ones in this story are as follows: Metellus Cimber, Otis Chaudoin. Brutus, Keith Brown. Publius Cimber, the banished brother, Edwin Chaudoin. Casca, Woodrow Dillon. Mark Antony, Milo Churchill. —E. Tomlinson. I was asked to write some poetry, But I’m no poet, as you can plainly see, But this much I know, without any doubt And don’t ask me how I found out. I know Miss Silliman will eventually be A musician, in lands far over the sea. Mr. McCulloch, I think, Will be driven to drink, If some fine lady doesn’t take him in hand And tell him what’s what and rule him like an iron band. Miss Newburn, I know, will start running a show If some other place she doesn’t get a chance to go. Miss Oehmke, of course you all guess Will be acting in Hollywood in a month or less. Miss Russell, some day, will be A person of—we’ll know—just wait and see; Miss Cooley will marry some one quite great, If she doesn’t, my goodness, what a very sad fate. Mr. Hartley will some day be Superintendent of Schools, My goodness! I’d hate to see some of his rules; Miss Dewey always looks so forbidding and sinister, I’m quite sure she shall be an unusual spinster. Miss Tyler, at last, her dreams have come true, Inherited her million, and away to England she flew; Mr. Askew will dream of wonderful things, And become such an angel he’ll grow gold wings. —Clae Swango. 10 March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine WHEN MONEY DOESN’T COUNT. In and on clanked the noisy freight train as it went rambling on into the night. It was a beautiful night, with stars shining in all their glory in the heavens. The moon was shining very brightly so that it seemed as if it were almost day. John Reynolds found himself gazing into the heavens watching stars twinkle in the sky and once in a while seeing one leap from its position and slide across the sky. He lay on his back on a flat car of a long freight train which was supposed to arrive in California three days later. Abruptly his thoughts were broken when the engine whistled shrilly, three times a long distance down the track. He heard another quick shrill note that seemed to be farther down the track. Then with a swiftness that seemed to rush on him at once, the fast train flashed by him with a bright array of lights. The observation car flashed by last. The back wras lit up brightly and John saw a familiar figure sitting in the observation car. A boy who, as a youth, John had gone to school with, had chummed with, and then later they had both set out into the world to make a name for themselves. Time had treated this chum more kindly than it had John, and now the chum, James Scott, was speeding across the continent in a fine luxurious coach, knowing of no hardships or failures. On the other hand John was considered a failure and he had heard of the wonderful chance in California to secure jobs that paid well. An outcast in the city of New York, he had watched for a chance and boarded a freight unnoticed. Now here he was just two days from his destination. “Gee, but he is sure lucky,” he muttered to himself. Two days later the freight stopped in a little town in California called Claremont, a city of about three thousand. John got off the freight and proceeded toward the uptown district. This town was a tidy and well kept place and was quite different from any that John had ever seen. “Thirty-eight cents for a meal,” he said to himself. He walked into a restaurant and ordered a cup of coffee and a couple of rolls. After he was through he walked out of the city limits and into the country beyond. All around were orange groves. He decided he would try for a job of picking oranges. Upon approaching a man who seemed to be manager he asked if he could secure a job. The manager looked him up and down with a keen but searching eye. “Guess you’ll be alright,” he said. “Lend a hand here, will you? This is a very busy day.” All that day John picked oranges. And he received a check for twenty-five dollars at the end of the week. The weeks sped by and the end of the orange season drew near. One day John was picking oranges close to the top of a choice orange tree. He saw a huge car drive up and a finely dressed man emerged from the vehicle. He hurried from the automobile and went up to where the manager was busy sorting oranges. After they had talked for a few moments, the man who had just arrived started over toward the tree where John was busy. March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine 11 He was so busy watching John pick oranges that he did not hear one of the large trucks approaching. The driver was in a hurry for today the grove was to be finished. The driver was driving very fast and he did not see the man in front of him until he was almost upon him. John saw the huge truck approaching and saw the man below standing directly in his path. Instantly recognition leapt to his eyes. For the one below him was none other than James Scott. Something seemed to snap in his body and the next instant he was leaping from the top of the tree toward the ground. Lifting Scott bodily from the ground, he pushed him to one side just as the heavy truck sped by catching John’s foot with one of the hind wheels. With a cry of pain he fell to the ground holding his foot. Scott, realizing how close he had come to his death, rushed to John’s side. He did not recognize the face at first but upon looking closer, he recognized his old friend and chum. He lifted him up and carried him to a nearby house from which a doctor was summoned. When he arrived he found that the foot was badly crushed and would take some time for it to get well. John was taken to the hospital the next day. For two months he was in the hospital. Then he was discharged a well man again. He was worried about the hospital bill and went to tell the doctor that he would pay as much as he could. But he was told that his bill had been paid the day before. Upon turning to leave he ran into Scott who started towards him and began to talk to him. John soon learned that Scott owned the grove where he had been working. “It is my turn now to pay you back,” said Scott. “Oh, that was nothing more than anyone else would have done,” said John blushing slightly. “Well, I am going to help you anyway. When the train leaves tomorrow I am going to have company, and you no doubt know who that person is.” Two years later John Reynolds was seen sitting at a large glass-topped desk. He did not look as he did when he was riding the freight two years before. In a large and beautiful building on one of the large streets of New York you may see a sign “Scott Reynolds, Brokers,” and both are considered wealthy. Two months ago James Scott died and when he went he had the satisfaction of seeing his old friend and chum by his bedside to the last. Upon a large monument in the Hillside cemetery the following inscription is found: “Here lies the body of a man who found one of the most prominent men on record today.” John and his family go to California almost every winter but you may be sure that they do not have to bum their way on a freight train. —Karl Howell. Miss Dewey: “Can you prove that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two sides of this trianguler?” John Wright: “I don’t have to prove it; I admit it.” 12 March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine FAVORITE POEMS. An interest was started in poetry in the English III class this year. We inquired here in school and found the following are some of the favorites. The authors varied, some were English poets and some American. In many cases they fit the individual type.

Ring out, my soul, ring out today, Sing out the joy of life, Ring out, ring out to greet the day, To soothe my inner strife. In the sky fluttering tips of the nights, White grown, are vanishing away. And the East brings dim and rosy lights. The dawn of another day. Oh why should my soul and I, Live apart from the God of all? For money can not forgiveness buy, When the Savior issues His call. Let me join Him hand in hand, My soul with joy enthrall, Let me be among that band, Who gives this world their all. Ring out, my soul, ring out today Ring out the joy of life, Ring out, ring out to greet the day, To soothe my inner strife. —Roy Burcham. 14 March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine i I i i i i a ■ i I i i ana a a ■ a a ■ a a a a a null a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a 11 a a a ■iiaiiaiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii i in uni i p®iril§inmsiiro§Mip ii ■ aiiiiiiniimu a a a i FIRST—AND ALWAYS The basketball team considers the development of sportsmanship as the main objective in all games and contests. The code of sportsmanship which has been adopted for athletics by many of the schools and colleges is: Keep the rules. Keep your temper. Keep faith with your comrade. Keep yourself fit. Keep a stout heart in defeat. Keep your pride under in victory. Keep a sound soul, a clean mind, and a healthy body. The following suggestions are offered for the consideration of those who want to co-operate in making basketball take and keep its proper place with our other American sports in the development of true sportsmanship : 1. Learn the rules of the game so that either as player or spectator you will be intelligent. 2. Accept decisions of officials without question during the game. 3. Permit no irritating or abusive remarks on the side-lines to players or officials. 4. Recognize and applaud on exhibition of fine play or good sportsmanship by a visiting team. 5. Insist on the courteous treatment of the visiting team and show its members every possible consideration. 6. Remember that the spectator as well as the athlete represents the school or community and that a good name is of more value than any victory. 7. Acquaint the community with the ideals of sportsmanship for which you stand, and impress upon the community its responsibility for self-control and fair play at all contests. 8. Insist on fair, courteous and truthful accounts of athletic contests in local papers. When in doubt, give your opponents the benefit. Never alibi. 9. Be familiar with the rules of eligibility. Support their strict enforcement. 10. Encourage full discussion of fair play and sportsmanship. Make the code and play the game. “When the great scorer comes To write against your name, He writes not that you won or lost But how you played the game.” —Adapted from National Rules Committee. March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine 15 BASKETBALL. On December 6, Coach Askew asked for all boys to come out for basketball. About 15 boys answered this call, namely: Paul Bragg, Jack Gibson, Phillip Pyle, Joe Claybaugh, Woodrow Dillon, Roy Burcham, Charles Hackwith, Roy Bennett, Robert Benedict, Carl Hamilton, Elmer Cole, William McClellan, Glade Grubb, Carl Williams and J. A. Bowman. Most of these boys were inexperienced, but they progressed throughout the season. Coach Askew is satisfied with the year’s record. The big aim of the season was to beat Wyoming, and the boys succeeded. This was the first time in three years to defeat Wyoming and all of the lower classmen aim to follow the footsteps of the 1928-29 boys. PRINCEVILLE TOURNAMENT. Toulon lost out in the opening round of the Princeville holiday tournament, when Dunlap swamped the locals 27 to 14. LAFAYETTE AT TOULON. A fourth quarter rally enabled Toulon Township High School cagers to cop a 26 to 19 decision over the LaFayette quintet. The game was very interesting and was played in the Toulon gym. Except for the first quarter in which the visitors appeared to be unable to shake off a bad case of stage-fright, the major part of the game was fought on even terms, with the lead alternating between the two teams. The invaders proved to be a stubborn foe and until the last it appeared that the Purple might topple the Askewmen. Pyle starred for the local team. VISITATION AT TOULON. Kewanee Visitation’s “Fighting Irish” proved superior in every department of basketball and found but little trouble in winning from the Toulon Township High School quintet. The game was played on the local floor, the score being 26 to 14. As in every game played so far this season, the Scarlet and Black offered stiff competition to their opponents in the first half but faltered in the third and fourth quarters. Toulon’s scoring attack rested almost entirely on the shoulders of Dillon, lanky forward, who connected with the hoop for five field goals. He was given but little assistance from his teammates, however, even their free throw record being far from creditable. PRINCEVILLE AT PRINCEVILLE. Results of a longer training period were shown when the Princeville team easily defeated the local team on the Princeville floor by a score of 26 to 9. The Princeville quintet showed mid-season form in their flashy style of working the ball down the floor and beneath the hoop for easy shots while the Toulon five were unable to penetrate the defense of the victors 16 March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine with any degree of success. Dillon was the whole show for the losers, scoring seven of his teammates’ nine points. It was his free throw which placed Toulon in the lead during the first several minutes of play. LAFAYETTE AT LAFAYETTE. Flashing an attack which kept them well in the lead throughout the game, Coach Askew’s Toulon Township High School basketball quintet defeated the LaFayette team. The game was played on the LaFayette floor and Toulon won in a surprisingly easy fashion by a score of 31 to 16. This was the first appearance of a local team in the new LaFayette gymnasium. The passing attack of the Scarlet and Black completely baffled the Purple, who were powerless to check the rapid advance of the ball which permitted Claybaugh and Gibson many close range shots at the hoop. TOULON TOURNAMENT. Cambridge placed first in the third annual basketball tournament. Coach Keith Wehner’s sturdy Princeville tossers placed second. Third place honors went to Coach Noland Bailey’s aggressive Wyoming hoopsters who defeated Coach V. B. Askew’s Toulon Township High School team. Several good games were witnessed during this tournament. Other teams taking part were: Neponset, Annawan, Dunlap and Wethersfield. Ralph Albro and Lynch Conway were the officials of the tournament. GALVA AT TOULON. Coach Lindell’s Galva High School basketball team fell before the local lads by a score of 21 to 4. The Toulon second team also won a victory over the Galva seconds. The Galva team had not played many games this season. The delay in beginning their cage season was due to their inability to secure a floor. The Toulon five displayed a new brand of basketball and the second team was used for most of the game. The second team also made a good showing in their game. Coach Lindell was ill at the time of this game and the lads were led by a former Galva basketball star. TOULON AT VISITATION. The Toulon Township team was edged out of a victory by the Visitation five by a score of 14 to 9. The game might be called an indoor football game, the contest becoming very rough at various times. At times good basketball was played by both teams and at times the game was on the order of a rough and tumble affair. The Cardinals sprang into the lead in the first few minutes of play and held their lead throughout the entire game. WYOMING AT TOULON. Coach Bailey’s Wyoming High School basketball team “faw down an’ March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine 17 go boom” before the Toulon Township High School quintet by a score of 18 to 15. The Scarlet and Black tossers were in the best of form and clearly outplayed their rivals from Wyoming. It was the first game in three years that the local boys defeated the Wyoming five. The game was nip and tuck and furnished plenty of thrills unitl the final whistle. Close guarding featured throughout the game. Toulon jumped into a three-point lead in the first period and held it all through the game. Not once did the Wyoming lads gain the lead over Toulon’s fighting warriors. Wyoming played without the services of Ogburn, veteran forward, who was out of the game on account of injuries. Captain Paul Bragg made a fine showing by sinking eleven points for his team. TOULON AT WOODHULL. Wednesday, February 27, the Toulon Township High School basketball team journeyed to Woodhull to play Coach Bickford’s team. The Toulon boys were defeated by a score of 21 to 15. This was the second time the two teams had met and Woodhull won a victory over the Toulon quintet earlier in the season by a 17 to 15 score. The Stark county lads put up a good fighting game, but were unable to hit the hoop as well as the Woodhull five. PRINCEVILLE AT TOULON. The Toulon lads lost at the hands of the Princeville invaders by a score of 15 to 17 in the last game of the season. The game was nip and tuck and furnished plenty of thrills for the local and out-of-town fans. Toulon led Princeville by one point until near the close of the game. This game was the last that Paul Bragg and Jack Gibson played under the Scarlet and Black of the old T. T. H. S. —C. Hamilton. SPRING FOOTBALL ANI) TRACK. Spring football and track practice began March 11. Practice will be held on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings after school. Practice begins at 3.30 and is over before 5 o’clock. The following boys have been invited to come out for football: Don Aby, Robert Benedict, Roy Bennett, Otis Chaudoin, Joe Claybaugh, Wood-row Dillon, John Dewey, William Dewey, Glade Grubb, Charles Hackwith, Virgil Ham, Carl Hamilton, Marvin Jackson, James McWilliam, George Murray, Tom Nowlan, Philip Pyle, Gordon Swango, Murl Thompson and Carl Williams. It has been found that spring football helps develop the fall material and so Mr. Askew has started spring football since he has been here. Spring football lasts for a month. During this time all the boys will receive equal training from Coach Askew, who is now trying to schedule 18 March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine a spring football game for his team. Although Toulon lost a few good boys last year, Mr. Askew is expected to come out with a fine track team. The track meet this year is to to be held at LaFayette on May 10. Toulon is expected to make a fine showing. Toulon is out to win the cross-country race between Wyoming and Toulon for the third consecutive time. The relay will start in Wyoming and finish in front of the courthouse at Toulon. Each boy will run one-half mile. Track practice began March 18. There are about 36 boys who have been asked to come out for track. Fourteen of the best runners will be picked from the group to win the Wyoming-Toulon cross-country relay race May 3. —Tom Nowlan. CLASS TOURNAMENT. On Tuesday, March 5, the Toulon Township High School started a class tournament. A captain was elected for each team, as follows: Freshmen, Roy Bennett; Sophomores, Woodrow Dillon; Juniors, Charles Hack-with; Seniors, Jack Gibson. Each captain picked eight boys to represent his class. The Freshmen and Juniors played the first game and the Juniors lost by a score of 9 to 13. The game was played on even terms until the final period and the Freshman team gained a four-point lead. The Sophomore and Senior classes played the second game. The Sophomore lads put up a good game which almost caused the Senior boys to lose. The game was played on even terms until the last quarter in which Sandy Gibson succeeded in making a free throw. The score was 8 to 9 in favor of the Seniors. The third game was between the Junior and Senior classes. The Seniors won by a score of 23 to 11. The fourth game furnished plenty of thrills for everyone. The fast Freshman and Sophomore teams clashed. The game was a tie when the final whistle blew and three overtime periods had to be played before one boy could make the winning basket. Bill Dewey made the winning basket for his team and the score was 12 to 11. Pyle and Dillon played a good game as guards. The fifth game was played between the Freshman and Junior classes. These teams met earlier in the tournament and the Junior class was out to turn the tables on the Freshmen. The game furnished plenty of excitement and thrills. The two teams were tied at the end of the third period and the Junior lads succeeded in winning by a 25 to 18 margin. The sixth and last game was played between the Sophomore and Senior teams. This was the second time the two teams had clashed. Earlier in the tournament the Seniors won by a one-point margin. Not once did the Sophomore team get the lead. The Senior team proved too much for them and the score ended 30 to 16. —Carl Hamilton. 20 March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine IB IIBIIBll ■lllllIttlliaillMIl I' III I Hill I I IMIIIIIIIII ■IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I' 11111' I I I II lill :ll I I lull IIIIMII I Pannes iiinlllliiliiiuiiiiiiiiiiiilitliiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiniiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiliii 1111111111 iliiii'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii;!iiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiii:i:iiiiiiinii Along with our school work we have parties which are for our enjoyment as well as to get acquainted with each other and our teachers. Our teachers are invited to the parties and they act as chaperones. Some of the parties this year were as follows: FRESHMAN PARTY. The Freshman class had a class party Friday afternoon, October 2, from 2.30 to 5.30. This was a get-acquainted party. Games and stunts were the chief events. Light refreshments of Eskimo pies were served and everyone departed feeling that they knew each other better than before. SOPHOMORE PARTY. The Sophomores had a class party October 19 and a large number of the class attended it. The stunts of the evening were mostly Hallowe’en games and dancing. Mr. McCullough and Miss Oehmke, the class advisors, led the grand march into the domestic science rooms where apples and doughnuts were served. SENIOR ALL-SCHOOL PARTY. The Senior class gave an all-school party November 23. It was from 8 o’clock until 10.30. A short program was given by members of the Senior class and games and dancing were enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. Screeton, of Elmira, furnished the music for dancing. CHRISTMAS PARTY. The Seniors gave an all-school party December 21. Everyone was asked to bring a 10-cent present for the tree, which was prettily decorated with colored lights and other ornaments. Santa Claus distributed the presents with the aid of the members of the Senior class. When the presents were opened, games were played and later dancing was enjoyed. The Lux Solis was showed in the balcony at the beginning of the party by the president of the class, J. A. Bowman. They made a get-away without any of the underclassmen getting it. Refreshments of sandwiches, pickles, cocoa, marshmallows and mints were served. Everyone departed at 10.30 after having spent an enjoyable evening. SOPHOMORE ALL-SCHOOL PARTY. The Sophomores gave a hard-times party to the school, Friday evening, March 8. Everyone was dressed in hard-time clothes and those that were not were fined at the door. The evening was spent in playing games and dancing and Eskimo pies were served later in the evening. The Junior-Senior banquet which is a big event of the year, will be held at a later date and will be written in the Senior issue of the Tolo. March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine 21 THE TOLO CARNIVAL. The Tolo Carnival, an annual affair, was held February 6, 1929. A large number of people attended this event, and it proved to be very successful. The proceeds are being used to publish the “Tolo.” During the early part of the evening the following stunts were given by the four classes: The Freshmen had a museum in Mr. McCullough’s room. They had a very large collection of antiques, guns, muskets, old Indian relics, and other things too numerous to mention. Among those in charge of the museum were: Sarah Biederbeck, Lee Burkey, Katherine Goodwin, William McClellan, George Murray and Raymond Egbert. “Nonsense” was the show given by the Sophomores in Miss Tyler’s room. The following took part: Brady Ham, Eleanor Rist, Walter Fell and Virginia Davis. The name of the Junior show was “Better Half’s Worst Half.” It was given in the sewing room. These students took part: Marcia Jack-son, Charlie Morrell, Thelma Ward, Marion Martin and Clae Swango. The Senior show was “By Golly, the Lamp Went Out.” The actors and actresses were: J. A. Bowman, Minott Silliman, Edwin Chaudoin, Lucille Kell, Lucille Cinnamon, Bonnie Welsh and Rollin Heaton. After the shows were over the cake walk was a feature, this being held in the gymnasium. Every one was interested in this event and tried their luck for a cake. Thirty cakes were given to the winners. The dance started at 9.30 and lasted until 12. Music was furnished by Hal Miller’s Royal Band. During the dance, bridge was played in Miss Cooley’s room by those who did not care to dance. There were nine tables of bridge players. Lunch was served by the Domestic Science class during the evening. The first reason for the great success of the Carnival was because the community attended, giving us a large crowd. But because of the fact that the teachers and students worked together, it was made more successful than ever. DECLAMATORY CONTEST. The pupils are being trained for the Declamatory Contest. Mrs. Gertrude Grieve comes on Monday of every week to train those taking part in the contest. This training is given free to all who wish to take it. Those who are being trained for the contest are: Freshmen, Helen Wilson and Lee Bur-key; Sophomores, Brady Ham, Marvin Jackson, Dorothy Puckett and Eleanor Rist; Juniors, Margaret Claybaugh; Seniors, J. A. Bowman, Dian-tha Morrell and Lucille Cinnamon. The preliminary contest will be held sometime during the last of April. —Margaret Day. HISTORY ASSEMBLY. Miss Cooley’s American History class had charge of the assembly held 22 March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine Friday, November 2. Dale Rist presided and Jack Gibson gave an interesting talk on “The Method of Electing the President.” J. A. Bowman did his best to influence the pupils and teachers to favor Alfred Smith, by telling his principles, personality and training. Edwin Chaudoin spoke on the many principles, personalities and training of Herbert Hoover. Mortimer Packer told of the methods and importance of voting. The assembly was followed by a school election in which the High School students cast their vote for national, state, and local officials. The results showed that Herbert Hoover was elected by several votes more than Alfred Smith. SINGING AND RADIO ASSEMBLIES. Because the song books were destroyed in the fire, we were unable to have singing assemblies last year. However, we have our books this year and have enjoyed many Assemblies. In the last one, which was December 21, 1928, we sang Christmas Carols and Miss Russell, who has charge of all singing Assemblies, talked to us and mentioned in her talk, that Mr. Walter Damrosch, when speaking over the radio, said that if he should be given a few days’ trial, that he would teach any boy or girl to like and really appreciate good music. We have had many radio concerts, all of which have been beneficial, as well as entertaining. Miss Silliman is much in favor of these and hopes that they may be continued in the future. —Margaret Nye. GLEE CLUB. Rachael McKee, President. Lucille Cinnamon, Treasurer. The Glee Clubs are now at work on their operetta, “Purple Towers.” With the money the clubs cleared last year they were able to buy the books for cast and chorus work for the operetta. A “T” with a bar of music on it will be given those having perfect attendance or above a certain average. SERVICE CLUB. Ruth Fuller, President. Dorothy Titlow, Secretary and Treasurer. The members of the Service Club are performing their duties which help to keep our school neat and clean and orderly. Cards are marked by each member when she does her duty. If a girl belongs to three clubs, not including Glee Club, and has a set number of points, she is given a “T.” HIKING CLUB. Thelma Ward, President. Clae Swango, Secretary. The Hiking Club went on three hikes last fall. They await good weather conditions for more hikes. March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine 23 HEALTH CLUB. Marcia Jackson, President. Diantha Morrell, Secretary. Once every six weeks the Health Club meets with Miss Newrburn for a short program. Discussions on health topics, symptoms and preventions are given by members and a musical number also furnishes entertainment. PHYSICAL TRAINING CLUB. Sue Ellen Bowman, President. Virginia Davis, Secretary. The physical training class was divided into two groups, “The Annies and “The Lizzies,” with Thelma Ward and Clae Swango as captains. The sixth period every Monday is devoted to health exercises under direction of their advisor, Miss Cooley. They play basketball after they finish their “daily dozen.” SCIENCE CLUB. Keith Brown, President. Ruth Fuller, Secretary. The Science Club was organized a few years ago for the purpose of giving the students who are interested in science an additional knowledge concerning it. New members were taken in this year. The members of this club must have an average above 83 in their science. SENIOR GIRLS’ CLUB. The Senior Girls’ Club met as usual this year and discussed different topics. New officers are elected each six weeks. Miss Silliman has charge of this Club. They meet on Friday in their regular hour for English IV. THE SENIOR BOYS’ CLUB. Mr. Hartley has charge of the Senior Boys’ Club. They meet on Friday in their regular English IV hour. Men from town are invited to give speeches on different topics. New officers are elected every six weeks. TRIBUTE TO JUNIORS. The Juniors should be complimented on the fact that they have worked hard. Their funds are all ready to give the Seniors a fine reception. Miss Cooley very kindly consented to give a lecture about her trip entitled “Passing Through Europe.” This was very interesting. The Juniors then undertook a ten-day magazine campaign. They sold magazines published by the Crowell Company. The American and The Woman’s Home Companion were the most popular sales. The class then decided to give a food sale. On March 2, they gave a food sale at Sundquist’s Store. They sold candy, doughnuts, pies, cakes, cheese and rolls. Miss Newburn and Miss Cooley directed the sale. All the undertakings of the Juniors have been successful because every Junior has done his bit. —Thelma Ward. 24 March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine CALENDAR OF EVENTS. November 26—Thanksgiving Vacation.

Did you know that all of our teachers have attended college? Did you know that nine members of the faculty have degrees? Did you know that your school had 1,000 volumes of good books? Perhaps you wonder what these books are about. Of course, several volumes were destroyed in the fire. There are the following reference books in the school: Assembly Hall Reference Books.................................... 69 Commercial Reference Books....................................... 77 English I Freshmen Reference Books............................... 77 English II Sophomore Reference Books............................. 32 English III Junior Reference Books...............................104 English IV Senior Reference Books................................ 56 Text Books for English IV........................................ 42 European History Reference Books................................. 31 American History Reference Books................................. 51 Ancient History Reference Books.................................. 38 Economic Reference Books......................................... 23 Civics Reference Books........................................... 23 French Reference Books........................................... 31 Home Economics Book List......................................... 35 Latin Reference Books............................................ 51 Manual Training Reference Books.................................. 14 Mathematics Reference Books...................................... 21 Reviews Reference Books......................................... 19 Reference Books for the Science Room............................. 64 Senior Girls’ Club Reference Books............................... 39 Sociology Reference Books........................................ 20 Not many schools have such a library. Besides this reading matter the school takes many monthly, weekly and daily newspapers and magazines. If you do not like to read, surely it isn’t the school’s fault. March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine 25 TRAFFIC COPS AND THEIR NEED. There has been a system of traffic cops worked out in High School which is very effective. The president of each class appoints two traffic cops each week, a boy and a girl. This makes four girls and four boys as traffic cops. Those from each class have a certain place to stand in the halls. At the end of the week they hold a meeting in the Student Committee Room. They look over the names that they have taken during the week, and if any student has been notified three times of breaking some traffic rule they send the name to the office. The office girl calls the room that the student is in and asks the teacher to send the pupils to the Student Committee room. With the aid of Miss Silliman, they sentence him to do some duty about the building. Some traffic cop is assigned to watch him and see if he does his duty well. Some of the duties they do are: Washing black-boards, washing windows or doors, straightening up some bookcase, washing sinks, or running up stairs quite a few times. If you are called down to the meeting three times in succession you have to give a speech in front of the assembly which is not a very attractive penalty. Some of the traffic rules are: No running in the halls or scuffling, and no tardiness to class. —Donald Aby. THE READING TABLE. The large reading table in the study hall causes much amusement and is very useful to the students as well as the teachers. The school takes a daily paper—The Chicago Tribune, also The Monitor. There are several magazines. Among these are the following: Harper’s Popular Science, The Literary Digest, National Geographic, World’s Work, American Scientific, American, Pictorial Review, Travel and Good Housekeeping. The newspapers are read and enjoyed by everyone. The Popular Science and American Scientific are very popular among the boys. They enjoy looking at these two, more than any others. The Literary Digest is used mostly by the Modern History students. The girls like the Pictorial Review, Harper’s Bazaar, American and Fashionable Dress. The boys take interest in the World’s Work and Harper’s. The National Geographic and Travel magazines are liked by nearly all because of the many interesting pictures that are taken in all parts of the world. There are also several large dictionaries on the reading table which are very popular at times. —Marion Field. NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL. The Junior Class has thought of some things that could be added or improved about our school. A large flag and some more pictures would make our study hall much more attractive. All the class rooms need pictures as most of them were destroyed by fire. The athletic track could be 26 March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine improved if it were made a quarter of a mile. The school always welcomes new books. More care should be given the bulletin boards of the study hall. Another bookcase is needed in the English III room as the other is crowded with books. We also suggest a walk leading northeast from the north door. —Roland Webster and Cecil White. MANUAL TRAINING. There are two Manual Training classes. There are about thirty boys in both classes, twenty in the Manual Training I class and ten in the Manual Training II class. The boys in the Manual Training I class do not make as large things as the advanced class. They make small articles such as smoking stands, book racks, tabarets'and other similar articles. In the Freshman class the boys work on the lathe a certain number of days in order to learn how to use it. This is done so they can make things such as lamps and other useful objects in the advanced class. In the Freshman class the boys are not supposed to use any of the machinery unless Mr. Askew is present. In the Manual Training II class the students make library tables, writing tables, lamps, hall trees and some make cedar chests. The boys in this class are permitted to use the machinery by getting Mr. Askew’s permission. Some of the boys in this class are making library tables and other pieces of furniture. The articles now being worked on or finished are: Floor lamps, cedar chests, writing tables, foot stools and tabarets. Some of the boys who have been working on smoking stands have finished them and have taken them home. Some of the larger articles, like tables and chests are left in the building until after the exhibit. —Ralph Mahany. TROPHIES. Toulon Township High School has a very fine trophy case located in the lower hall. It contains all the trophies won by the school. There are in all seventeen trophies and seven shields. Some of the most important ones are those won by the school in the annual county athletic and field meets. There is a large cup which has been won by Toulon three years in succession. It is now our permanent property. There is a trophy given by The Galva News and The Stark County News to the team from Galva or Toulon which first wins three football games. The games need not be in succession. Toulon keeps the trophy this year by winning over Galva last fall. This trophy is a large silver-plated football mounted on a black bakelite stand. It stands about one foot high. There is a small trophy which was won in 1928 for the best cheering at the basketball tournament at Toulon in January, 1928. There is a cup which was won in 1927 by R. Talbert, R. Heaton, S. Montooth, and H. Heaton in the relay race. There is another relay cup won by G. Sweat, R. Burcham, S. Montooth and R. Heaton in 1928. There is also a large red pennant with black numerals and letters awarded Toulon when they defeated Galva in the dual meet of 1926. There are several older trophies won in 1923, ’24, ’25. —K.
