Our High School is one of the best in this part of the state, and is fully accredited by the North Central Association. We offer four different courses of study: College Preparatory, Scientific, Manual Training, and Home Economics. Freshmen are required to take English I and Algebra I. Four subjects are customary, and the other two are selected from the following: General Science, Latin I, Ancient History, Manual Training I, and Domestic Science I. It has always been dominant here that the upper classmen and faculty take personal interest in the Freshmen. Elsewhere in this issue you will find a write-up of the faculty giving the qualifications of each member to teach those subjects. Toulon Township High School is ideally situated and built for social events of this kind. It has many advantages which are a great help in bringing a crowd. The pavement borders two sides of the building, and there is pavement from the school to the business district. This makes it easy to reach the school if the roads are bad. The gym is a very good place for social affairs, a play or anything of that kind, and it has a very good dance floor. There are also many rooms in the building which are convenient for carnival stunts or booths of any kind. —Robert Griffith. So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When duty whispers low, “Thou must,” The youth replies, “I can.” —Emerson. 4 March, Nineteen Thirty TEN COMMANDMENTS. How would you like to have Ten Commandments for school children? We hear of the Ten Commandments of the Bible and Ten Commandments for husbands and wives, so why not for school children ? If we did have our own Ten Commandments, would you obey them or would you disobey them as you do the traffic cop rules which should be regarded as commandments? Czechoslovakia has adopted the “Ten Commandments for School Children.” They may be seen on the bulletin boards in many schools. They are as follows: 1. Love your schoolmates; they will be your companions for life and work. 2. Love instruction, the food of the spirit. Be thankful to your teachers as to your own parents. 3. Consecrate every day by one good useful deed of kindness. 4. Honor all honest people; esteem men but humble yourself before no man. 5. Suppress all hatred and beware of insulting your neighbor; be not revengeful but protect your own rights and those of others. Love justice and bear pain and misfortune courageously. 6. Observe carefully and reflect well in order to get at truth. Deceive not yourself or others and beware of lying, for lies destroy the heart, the soul, and the character. 7. Consider that animals also have a right to your sympathy and do not harm or tease them. 8. Think that all good is the result of work; he who enjoys without working is stealing bread from the mouth of the worker. 9. Call no man a patriot who hates or has contempt for other nations, or who wishes and approves wars. War is the remains of barbarism. 10. Love your country and your nation but be co-workers in the high task that shall make all men live together like brothers in peace and happiness. —Eleanor Rist. “OUR SCHOOL.” Toulon High is a wonderful school, For work and lots of fun, Then we get into work as deep as a pool, And find our grades are none. We then quiet down and do our best To learn the things we should know; And our teachers with patience always suggest, “Please make good grades instead of so low.” A short time will end our school days, Only leave us with thoughts of the past; Each of us will go on our way With success as our goai to the last. —Anice Carlisle.

As I was walking down a street in Paris with my friend she suggested that we go to Versailles, the seat of France’s government from about 1685 to 1791. I knew this was a very beautiful place which Louis XIV had built, so we went to Versailles. A guide stood before us to show us about. When we arrived at the palace of the king, we entered. Just as he introduced us to the royal Louis XVI, lo, the guide disappeared and my friend also. I didn’t know what to do at that moment, but the king took the lead. “Oh, Marie Antoinette, where have you been ? I have been looking all over for you, or rather I had my servants do it.” When I looked down at myself, I was surprised for I had the most beautiful clothes on. My long dress with a full skirt had spangles that sparkled. I was very much surprised to find that my hat was set on the top of my head. I also had a four-strand pearl necklace. My shoes were very dainty. They were white pumps with diamonds glittering on them. I very innocently said, “Why, Louis XVI, didn’t you say I could buy some new clothes to wear today?” “Oh, yes. That doesn’t matter. Weil just tax the poor people more to pay for them.” Before I go on with the story, I must tell you about the king. His countenance slightly resembled that of Columbus. His long robe had a very royal-like appearance. It was trimmed with ermine. He held a hat that was big and stiff. It was decorated with bright colored plumes. “I am afraid that we will have to leave this beautiful place, Honorable Queen,” said the King. “But you know that we can’t,” I objected. “Yes, but if we must, we must,” he said. “It was only just yesterday that they stormed the Bastille where I imprison people.” I lived at the beautiful palace with Louis XVI for about three months. It was a very beautiful place. There was no reason why it shouldn’t be, because the time required to build it was about twenty-five years. As I said before, Louis XIV had built it. All of the workers worked according to his directions. Every artist and architect in Europe helped with it. The interior was decorated with gold, marble and mirrors. The grounds around it were pretty, too. Statues and fountains were everywhere. In October, the poor people were suffering from hunger so a crowd of women flocked to the palace ready for battle. Those maddened women broke open the gates and came into the palace. Finally they broke into my room which distressed me and I rushed into the King’s room. We had to go out on the balcony, and Louis XVI promised the women food. They 6 March, Nineteen Thirty forced us as well as the rest of the royal family to leave the palace of luxury. They surrounded our carriage on the way to the Tuileries in Paris with men carrying the heads of two guards whom they had killed. Then came the Fench revolution. Before 1791 I had tried to convince the King that we ought to flee from Paris where everything was one grand fight. He was opposed to the things that were happening, so he finally consented in June, 1791. Louis XVI dressed up as a valet and I disguised myself as a lady of Russia thinking that no one would recognize us. Everything went along successfully until we arrived at a little village called Var-ennes. There somebody recognized us: The government at Paris sent commissioners after us and we had to go back to Paris. As we passed through the city of Paris, nobody showed any respect toward us. This had been a terrible few days for me. My hair was now quite white, and I looked to be a woman twenty years older than I had the week before. In the month of August, 1792, the Tuileries was attacked. At this time the Commune of Paris was trying people. They were always sentenced to death and killed at the guillotine. Now, the Commune imprisoned the King and me in an old fortress called the Temple. The Jacobins, a political club in the year of 1793, wanted to hang the King without a trial. He was given a trial though and hung in January. The poor King died an honorable death. Before he died, he told the people that he hadn’t done what he was accused of doing. In 1793 people were still being killed on the guillotine. I was now being brought to trial in October. The judges were moved to sympathy by what I said to them and the trial was soon over although it seemed like years. As I stood under the guillotine, I tried to be brave. Just as they were about to pull the fatal rope, I heard something. I seemed to fall about a foot, and I woke up rubbing my eyes. My mother stood over me putting forth all her efforts to shake me out of sleep. “Mildred, if you don’t get ready in fifteen minutes now, you’ll be late for glee club. I’ve tried every little while for the last half hour to waken you.” And when I looked at the clock, I found that she was right —Mildred Ham. A TRIP TO THE MOON. It is a Sunday morning of the year 1985. Papa Brown, his wife, and four children have decided to take a little outing in the family rocket plane. So they go out to the back yard with a lunch that Mrs. Brown has fixed, and they get in the plane and start off. From the very beginning the loving wife makes a nuisance of herself by her back-seat flying. But, being a brave man by nature and inured to such hardships by habit, father flies on with not so much as a glance in her direction. “Now, John, do be careful. You must go slower. I can see that airspeed indicator right now, and you are going over a hundred thousand miles an hour! Do slow down !” Two hundred and eighty thousand miles of this. Small wonder that March, Nineteen Thirty 7 poor John will be worn out when they finally get home that evening. Many ships dot the sky to indicate that John and his wife are not the only ones out for a ride this lovely May day. Since their plane is a Thunder Bolt Twelve, they ride in comfort and pass all that they meet with no difficulty at all. Mrs. Brown sees several of her bridge club ladies and nods with a stately grace in their general direction. It is evident that she enjoys the new plane very much. Envious looks from all sides confront them as they speed on their way. After two hours of steady flying, they come in sight of the golf links and palatial club house of the Inter-Planetary Amusement Association. With scarcely a jar they alight on the soft turf of the field and the Brown family stretch their wreary limbs. Spying three of his good friends getting ready to start out on the course, John remembers that he left his clubs at home, and there is much spluttering and noise surrounding his majesty, the breadwinner. The loving wife remembers to tell him that he can rent clubs at the house. This is but a sample of what we may all be doing at this time. So be prepared and don’t forget to take your golf clubs with you, nor leave the house unlocked. I hope that you have a good time on your trip. —Robert Griffith. WHEN THE LUX SOLIS WASN’T THE LUX SOLIS. An aged man sits dreaming before the fire. His hair is gray, his face is wrinkled, and his hands tremble, but his eyes still retain their old-time brightness. He is the John Hagy of long ago. Suddenly a door opens and a group of children run in. “Tell us a story, Grandpa!’’ they shout. “Eh—what?” The old man is startled. “Tell you a story? Well, well, let me see. Oh, yes! Did I ever tell you about the time the Lux Solis wasn’t the Lux Solis?” “No, Grandpa, tell us that. What is the Lux Solis?” The old man relaxes in his chair. His eyes grow dreamy, but his voice is steady as he tells the story. “A long time ago, when I was a little lad not much older than you, we had a Lux Solis in our High School. The Lux Solis was a candlestick bearing the class colors of every class that had held it. Each Senior class presented it to the coming Senior class at the Junior-Senior reception. It was the duty of the class to whom it was presented to hold it during the following year until reception time came again. If any other class should get that Lux Solis, the Seniors would have to pay the penalty of entertaining the class which had gained possession of it. Of course, all of the other classes were always all het up to get that Lux Solis away from the Seniors. “Well, this year that I have in mind was when I was a Junior back in ’30. The Seniors had given the Lux Solis to Joner Brown—you’ve heard of Joner. He’s that famous lawyer down to Toulon that never won a case. Well, as I started to say, Joner Brown had the Lux Solis. Came a night 8 March, Nineteen Thirty when Joner wanted to take his girl to the movies. I can’t remember who was his girl at the time, he always changed girls every week. “Well, anyway, Joner wanted to go to the show, so he put that Lux Solis on the mantel, locked all the doors in the room, pulled down all the curtains, turned off all the lights, and went merrily on to the show. “When he came back, he went to see if the Lux Solis was still there. He had a lot of trouble getting the door open, but he finally succeeded. He went in and turned on the lights, glancing immediately at the mantel. He jumped. The Lux Solis was gone! But how could it be gone? He had locked all the doors and there was no one at home except him. Well he called up all the boys of the Senior class and organized a search. They literally turned that room upside down. John Dewey even climbed up the chimney, but there weren’t any footprints on the roof, so he was sure that no one could possibly have entered that room. “ ‘Well, boys,’ said Joner, ‘let’s go about this scientifically. All of you stand on your heads, and if the Lux Solis doesn’t fall out of one of your pockets. I’ll know you haven’t got it.’ “Accordingly, all the boys did so, and when they were right side up again, Joner shook hands all ’round. “ ‘Well, boys,’ he said, ‘now I know I can trust you. Did anybody see those pesky Juniors tonight?’ “ ‘You bet we did,’ said Marion Martin. He’s the undertaker down at Wyoming now. ‘They were all at the show except Philip Pyle and Woody Dillon. They both have a five-hundred word theme for tomorrow, so I know that they haven’t had time to do anything.’ “And well I remember that theme, too! Jewel Tyler was our teacher and what she didn’t make us do wasn’t worth doing. Why, one time she— but that’s another story. “Well as I started to say, Marion said that Philip and Woody couldn’t have done it. So those Seniors decided that there must be some mystery connected with it. The next day Joner went to Teddy McCullough—him that had the red hair—and asked him for his most powerful magnifying glass. He took it home and those Seniors started searching. “They went over every square inch of Joner’s lawn, his front porch, the room where it had been, and even the mantel. They even had a sample of the soot from the chimney analyzed to see if anything had passed it. Well sir, they never found a thing. Joner almost went crazy trying to imagine who had spirited that thing away. “The next night there was a party at the High School. All the Seniors went and of course everybody asked Joner what was the matter with him. Now Joner hadn’t stopped long enough to look at himself since he lost the Lux Solis, so he hurried to find a mirror. When he did find one, he stopped, amazed. Worrying had turned his hair gray over night. “As the party progressed, Joner could see that there was excitement in the air. He was too puzzled about the Lux Solis to wonder what was the matter. Suddenly, the yelling penetrated even his thick head. He March, Nineteen Thirty 9 glanced up and then rubbed his hand wearily over his eyes. “ ‘I wonder what was in that lemonade Thelma gave me,’ he muttered. Now what do you suppose was the matter? Why, there stood Woody Dillon and Philip Pyle in the balcony waving the Lux Solis! “Well sir, the Seniors puzzled over that thing for weeks. They couldn’t persuade the Juniors to tell them how they got that thing out of there. To this day, they are still wondering. To them that is only another of the mysteries of the year of ’30, the year of the forty-seven sheriffs of Stark county. That was the queerest year. Why, even-------- “But Grandpa, how did they get that Lux Solis?” “Why didn’t I tell you? They had been planning that stunt for weeks. Some one had fastened a tiny piece of iron to the top of that Lux Solis and they drew the thing up the chimney with a powerful magnet. I never could understand why the Seniors didn’t guess it. But then, the Juniors always were smarter than the Seniors.” “Tell us another story, Grandpa.” “No, not tonight. Now clear out of here, and leave me alone!” The children run away, the door closes softly, and the old man is left alone. He smiles gently as he looks into the fire as if he were thinking of happy times. The shadows fall, and the old man falls asleep to dream of the time when he was the young John Hagy. Elizabeth Tomlinson. THE ADVENTURES OF A RADICAL. He was very small, so small, in fact, that I couldn’t see him even with the most powerful microscope there is. Consequently, we have to take all that he does almost for granted, but these theories, as they are called, seem to bear out in experimental work. We find that everything is made up of small particles called molecules, which, in turn, are composed of atoms. The atoms are the smallest part of a substance that have anything to do with chemical reaction, and when they enter into chemical combination, they are not changed permanently, for by various methods, any substance which is made up of two or more different elements may be broken down into its component parts. But these tiny atoms are sometimes combined in such a way that they act as one; such a combination is called a radical. One illustration of a radical is the nitrate radical, the formula of which is N03. It is composed of one atom of nitrogen, and one of oxygen. This radical may enter into chemical combination with many different elements, and with a few other radicals. Well, Bill was a sulphate radical. He was one of a great many million other sulphate radicals, and he was in a jar in the Chemistry laboratory of T. T. H. S. Bill’s mate in the molecule of the sulphuric acid of which he was a part, was Henry, commonly known as hydrogen, and the formula of the molecule was H2S04, there being two Henrys to balance the one Bill. One day Bill was quietly dozing in his jar, for sulphuric acid is a very 10 March, Nineteen Thirty stable compound and will not break down into its parts very easily, when he heard the unmistakable sounds of an argument raging outside. He went to the glass and beheld two members of the Chemistry class engaged in discussion, apparently very much absorbed in their conversation. The noise had aroused the instructor, so the students were told to keep quiet on pain of punishment in the form of a request to please stay after school. So the arguing boys calmed down and began to work, which is an unprecedented occurrence in this class. One of them picked up the bottle of sulphuric acid, and poured part of the acid into a flask which was upon the desk. Bill was among the liquid now in the flask and he wondered what was going to happen to him next. He was not kept in suspense for long, however, for the other boy returned to the desk with some sodium nitrate, which is NaNo3, and put this into the flask. With an arrangement of glass tubes, corks, beakers, and test tubes fitted to the flask, the boys commenced to heat the flask with their burner. Bill began to feel uncomfortably warm, and he cried out when, under the influence of the heat, the two Henrys tore themselves away from him and departed. But Bill was not alone for long. Pretty soon a couple of nice looking sodium atoms came along, and Bill decided to enter into a combination with them. This did not take long and was much more enduring than our own marriages. Bill’s old friends, the hydrogen atoms, had also been active during this time, and each was now comfortably settled down in the test tube on the other side of the apparatus with a little nitrate radical for a bride. It would seem that Bill’s adventures would end when he became once more a married man, but, like most other men, he was not entirely satisfied with his present wife. So when our friends, the chemists, emptied Bill and his bride down the waste pipe, he thought that a marriage with one of the wealthy iron maidens would be advantageous, so he became part of a molecule of ferrous sulphate, which means iron sulphate. You see, that is just as it is with us mortals, the groom gives his name to the blushing bride. Of course, this is not the end of Bill’s adventures and journeys, but it is all that I can tell you about, for I don’t know any more about it. —Robert Griffith. GREASE, NOT FUEL. Leslie Matson, who had run out of gas north of Toulon, saw his schoolmate, Bill Jackson, coming down the road with a big tin can. Leslie: “Say, Bill, I hope you have gasoline in that can.” Bill: “Well, I hope it ain’t. It would taste awful on ma’s pancakes.” Cop: “Say there, young man, pull up to the curb. What’s the idea of going 55 miles an hour in that flivver?” Don Aby: “Honest, injun, officer, was I making 55? Lead me to the judge, I want it put on record.” March, Nineteen Thirty 11 THE TOLO CARNIVAL. The Tolo Carnival which was held February 5 was a success as usual. The program included stunts, a cake walk, and a dance. The cake wralk proved very popular. Twenty-six cakes, which had been solicited from members of the school, were given av ay. Tickets were sold for ten cents and a ticket entitled the holder to a cake if the number drawn corresponded to the one he held. Many people won cakes during the evening. When the cake walk was finished, there was a final showing of the stunts. Then came the dance. The music was furnished by Chick Hurt’s Orchestra of Kewanee with Berneice Dee, daughter of the pianist, as vocal soloist. There were four stunts given by the four classes. The Freshman stunt, which was given in the English IV room, was a model schoolroom. Some of the lessons taught were the advantages of having a teacher’s pet, and the importance of being able to write the alphabet backwards. We wonder if the Freshmen always follow the example they set. The Sophomore stunt was held in the Sewing room. Their stunt was composed of two short sketches, “A Meller Drama,” and “How We Make Pictures.” The first concerned a rich young Spanish nobleman, Lee Bur-key, who is in love with a beautiful girl, Katherine Goodwin. When Manuel, who is Lee, is about to lock the beautiful Kathryn into a tower, her own true lover, George Murray, appears in time to save her. The second part of their stunt concerned the making of moving pictures. “Ikey” Gerard, as director, made himself famous. We wonder if he intends to be a movie director? The Junior stunt took place in the History room. Its name was “The Mayor’s Dream.” The story concerned the Mayor’s dream of Heaven and Hades. He met a number of prominent townsmen in both places. The cast of characters was as follows: Mayor...............................................Edmund Hickey Dr. L. E. O’Keefe..................................WTilliam Dewey Dr. J. C. Williamson.......................................Philip Pyle Gatekeeper of Heaven........................................Brady Ham Gatekeeper of Hades......................Emmett Fennell Devil....................................Woodrow Dillon Angels........Virginia Davis, Frances Titlow, Eleanor Rist Robert Griffith read the skit and Dorothy Puckett and Elizabeth Tomlinson directed it. The Senior stunt was given in the Assembly room. It was a clever piece called “Leapin’ Lena.” It concerned a family who had gone out for a pleasure ride in a new car and had had car trouble. Various people offered to help and the car was finally started with the aid of the baby. Those taking part in the stunt were: Keith Brown, Marion Martin, Mar- garet Claybaugh, Eloise King, Karl Howell, and Clifford Swank. —E.

We rushed merrily through the year with few worries except semester exams and the other minor troubles of the average Freshman. As Sophomores, we added a few troubles to our list. First of all, it was our aim to set a good example for the Freshmen whose elders we were. However, this soon passed, and the year passed as happily as the previous one. Then we came to our Junior year. We still enjoyed fun so we elected Woodrow Dillon president so that we would be sure to get it. Woodrow immediately closed the deal by offering us each a lollypop from Bill’s Cafe for a nickel. We always thought Woody was generous and this confirmed the idea. To help Woody we elected Philip Pyle vice-president, and Elizabeth Tomlinson secretary. During this year, we were faced with the need of money. To remedy this lack we had stands at all the football games and some of the basketball games and, as a rule, received good returns. The members of our class are scattered into various lines of activity. Several of them are in the Glee Clubs and some have made the special club. Those who belong to the special club, by name “The Treble Clef Girls,” are: Eleanor Rist, Pauline and Mildred Price, Sarah Biederbeck, Olive Montooth and Elizabeth Tomlinson. Pauline Price, Eleanor Rist, and Philip Beamer are also taking vocal lessons. A big percentage of our boys go out for athletics. Philip Pyle is captain of the basketball team and Woodrow Willon has been elected captain of next year’s footbail team. Those who received football letters from our class were: Philip Pyle, Woody Dillon, Virgil Ham, William Dewey, John Wright, Emmett Fennell, and Edmund Hickey. We are proud of our boys as well as our girls and we think you’ll have to admit we are a fine class. A WORTH WHILE GIFT. Mr. McCullough (Marion Fields late to General Science) : “Late again, Marion ?” Marion: “Yes, my girl friend gave me a ride in her new sport roadster last night and I was out a little late.” Mr. McCullough: “She would have been better justified in giving you a new alarm clock.” Carl Williams: “Say, Brady! While I was out with the gang the other night a burglar broke into our house.” Brady Ham: “Did he get anything?” Carl Williams: “I guess he did all right, my Mother thought I was coming home.” 14 March, Nineteen Thirty M©DH(D)ir Sttaodfemtts The following students were on the Honor Roll for the first semester. To be on this Honor Roll, the student must have an average grade of 90 or above for the whole semester in the subject under which his name is listed. It is really an honor to have one’s name listed here, and more so if the name appears under more than one subject. As a reward for their efforts, pupils were excused from taking the semester exams in these subjects. French I—Katherine Goodwin, Eleanor Rist, Elizabeth Tomlinson.

Some people understand that word, and some don’t. Do you? To appreciate anything, you must first of all know its value, as it stands; and next, to what advantage it can be or is used. Do you appreciate one-half of what is done for you? Perhaps not that much. Do you take the rest for granted? Most of us take the largest part of our life and the things done for us for granted. Suppose that your favorite teacher has been very good to the class. Then one day she says, “Mary, John, Bob, Louise, quietly pass to the board.” Then she says “Mary conjugate----------. John--------” and so on and so forth, through many of the recent lessons, which she has already gone over so many times. My! What faces! You haven’t paid enough attention and haven’t studied after all the pains your teacher has taken. Did you appreciate what she was doing while you were inattentive? The answer is “No.” Should you not have appreciated it enough in the first place to study and pay attention? Yes, you should have done so. One great fault with the people of today is that they do not know how to appreciate, at least most things, as they should. Yet, as in the previous case of the teacher and students, who was to blame? Teacher? No. Students? Absolutely! If they had appreciated the teacher’s kindness and goodness, they would surely have done better, and so saved all the trouble. Appreciation is a wonderful thing. Non-appreciation causes misunderstandings, fights, quarrels, and other unpleasantries of life. Try being appreciative for one week and see if everyone isn’t happier. I can assure one thing—all will go much smoother. —Margaret Nye.

We have a well qualified group of instructors, all of whom we mention as follows: MISS HENRIETTA SILLIMAN. Miss Silliman, who has been with the school longer than any of the other instructors, teaches English IV. As principal, she has been with us five years. She is a graduate of Wellesley College where she received an A. B. degree and also a graduate of Columbia University in New York where she received a Master’s degree. She has been abroad three different times during summer vacations. We feel we are very fortunate in having a principal who has traveled so much because that knowledge is in many ways reflected to us. Miss Silliman’s home is in Toulon. V. B. ASKEW. Mr. Askew has been coach of the High School for five years during which time we have had some very successful teams in Football, Basketball, and Track. He attended Normal and also sessions in coaching at the University of Illinois and the University of Michigan. Although Mr. Askew is short in stature and small in build, he has a most commanding way in Football training, Basketball training, Track training, also in Study Hall and his classes in Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing. His home is in Toulon. MISS JEWEL TYLER. Miss Tyler has been a teacher in the Toulon school for the past four years. She teaches English I. II, and III.

This being the first game, much fumbling and bad passing was done, and the team showed promise of development. Those who played for the Alumni were Paul Bragg, Marion Burcham, Clifford Whittaker, Ralph Talbert, and Hayden Heaton. This game was played December 13. The next game was played here December 17. Toulon showed much improvement over their first showing and ran up 19 points, while holding LaFayette to 4. The seconds played their first game with LaFayette seconds and won easily. The next scheduled game was at LaFayette January 8. Here Toulon showed some good offensive work and piled up a 32 to 7 score. This was surprising to many because LaFayette’s defeat was more decisive than in the game played on our own court. Dillon scored 16 points while Pyle followed with 8. The seconds won their second game by 17 to 7. January 10, Toulon played a very exciting game against Altona. Toulon changed their style of game to a slow break which accounted for the low' score. At the end of the game Toulon wfas tied with Altona at three points each. In the second overtime period, one of Altona’s guards made a long shot from center. Then Claybaugh made a free throw' and the game ended, Altona 5, Toulon 4. Neponset was also defeated at the hands of the Toulon team here January 14. This was the first game Toulon had played with Neponset for two years. The score was 13 to 6. The Seconds won by a 17 to 6 margin. January 17, Toulon journeyed to Brimfield to play the fast Brimfield quintet. Toulon here lost their first scheduled game 14 to 5. Although Toulon lost, they played a creditable game and held their opponents to the lowest score they had been held in their first 15 games. Toulon’s first scheduled encounter with Galva wras January 29 at Galva. This game showed some good offensive and defensive work on Toulon’s part and they defeated the Galva five to the tune of 18 to 6. The seconds won their fourth game of the season by a score of 6 to 2. January 31 found Toulon at Princeville where they were defeated by the fast Peoria county five by a score of 21 to 10. Toulon held a lead in the first part of the game but lost this margin at the half. The seconds played the Princeville seconds to a 6 to 6 tie. After playing tw'o overtimes the game was called a tie. Toulon traveled to Neponset February 4 where they encountered a stubborn team. With one minute to go the score wras tied 8 and 8. A gratis toss was then made by Pyle which gave Toulon a 9 to 8 lead and BASKETBALL SEASON 20 March, Nineteen Thirty which they maintained the rest of the game. The seconds lost their first game 18 to 9. Wyoming invaded Toulon’s court February 7 and accomplished a win by a 28 to 13 score. Wyoming broke into a scoring rampage the first half and one which Toulon was unable to overtake during the last half. The Seconds also lost their game. Galva came to Toulon February 11 hoping to get revenge for the two former beatings which had been dealt them by the Toulon quintet this season. They put up a desperate fight but could not penetrate the defense enough and the game ended Toulon 14, Galva 12. The Toulon Seconds defeated the Galva seconds in a curtain raiser. Princeville came to Toulon February 21. Toulon was holding a lead of 8 to 4 at the close of the first quarter and things looked favorable for the Toulon five. But in the second quarter, Princeville pulled through with a number of “sleeper” shots and were leading at the half. The game ended 26 to 12. The Seconds played off the tie which they held against Princeville reserves earlier in the season. The game was still tied at the end of the third quarter, but Princeville came back in the fourth quarter and scored sufficient points to allow them a win. Friday, February 28, Toulon went to Wyoming intent upon giving them a beating. This was one of Toulon’s best played games of the season and it was the game which won Toulon the Stark County Basketball Championship. Toulon led the entire game after the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter the score w'as 4 to 4, but at the half 12 to 6 for Toulon, at the close of the third quarter 14 to 10 for Toulon and the game ended 17 to 13. In the last minutes Wyoming attempted a rally and drew within two points of Toulon. Bennett scored a basket and “put the game on ice” for Toulon. Toulon’s winning of this game gave us a record of football champions and basketball champions of the county. In football, we were undefeated in the county race while Wyoming lost one and won one, LaFayette won one and lost two, and Bradford lost two and wron none. Toulon won all three games in the county competition. The boys are now talking about the track meet and are planning on winning this as w'ell and thus do a good job of this championship business. Well, we’ll w'ait and “see them go” field meet day which will be observed Friday, May 9, in Toulon. County Standing of Sheduled Basketball Games: Toulon: Won 3, lost 1, percentage .750. Wyoming: Won 1, lost 1, percentage .500. LaFayette: Won 0, lost 2, percentage .000. Bradford: No team. —W. D. MR. ASKEW’S ASSEMBLY. Mr. Askew had charge of the assembly given December 13. Peggy Blake, one of the cheerleaders, distinguished between good and bad cheering. Mr. Askew' gave a talk on “Sportsmanship,” which gave new ideas March, Nineteen Thirty 21 to the students on that subject. Miss Russell led in group singing to arouse the spirit of the students.

Bodine and George Murray. The team’s manager, Raymond Seckman, received a numeral for his service. Everybody enjoyed the assembly and was proud of the football team, coached by Mr. Askew. TOULON HIGH SCHOOL SONGS. When the Toulon Township High School was known as Toulon High School, the student body and teachers composed a school song. This song shows how honor, loyalty, and praise can aid in making victorious athletic teams. During the first part of the school year 1929, a new school song was composed for our school. These two songs should be a lasting tradition of our High School. The honor of composing the new song goes to Woodrow Dillon, Brady Ham, Carl Williams, were the ones to write the words. THE OLD SONG. The Scarlet and Black we’ll wear, Aloft the flag we’ll raise, We’ll sound our shouts and sing our song, For dear old Toulon’s praise. Let every heart with joy be filled, And flash with fire, each eye; We’ll do our duty man by man, For dear old Toulon High. Then hail to the Scarlet and Black boys, The colors we love so well, Thy loyal sons now salute thee, As thy folds on the breezes swell. Then hail to the Scarlet and Black boys, No homage shall she lack. May the flag of dear old Toulon wave, The Scarlet and the Black. and Philip Pyle, for these students THE NEW SONG. Tune of “On Wisconsin.” On to Victory, on to Victory, For old Toulon High, We will beat them, we won’t cheat them, When the end draws nigh; Rah ! Rah ! Rah ! We’ll be leading, we’ll be leading, It won’t be a tie, Fight boys and make those points, For Toulon High. —Gilbert Crowe. 22 March, Nineteen Thirty THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY. The Senior Class gave a play entitled “Civilan Clothes” December 20 and 21. They were unable to secure Miss Kackley because of illness so Hugh Douglas, of the University of Kansas, directed them.

November 25, every girl in High School was invited to attend the Health Club meeting. At the opening of this meeting Pauline Addis played a piano solo and Eleanor Burch gave a reading. Following this Dr. E. B. Packer gave a talk based on “Contagious Diseases.” He told of the most common contagious diseases and good ways to prevent them. During his talk he passed around pictures to illustrate how a person looks when he has smallpox. In December at our Health Club meeting, Dr. O’Keefe spoke to the girls in the Health Club. This talk was on “Colds,” how to prevent them and how to get rid of one after you get it. This was of value to them because colds are numerous in the winter months. January 8, a Health Club meeting was held. Every girl in school was required to attend. Roll call was taken. Mrs. E. E. Brown, of Wyoming, gave an interesting talk which was of value to us all. At the end of the meeting everyone was asked to hand in her Health Club cards. A talk on “First Aid” was given by Dr. Williamson in the February meeting. Every Health Club girl was required to stay and the other girls of the school were invited to stay for this talk. He showed different ways to bandage sores. This talk on “First Aid” is useful to all of us. We wish to thank these people who have given us these helpful talks. —Olive Montooth.

One evening at dusk I was walking home after having been out to oversee my farm. It chanced that my homeward journey led past the most extraordinary house in the country. As the house loomed in sight I could well see its outline against the pale sky. It was a large old colonial house and had been built in 1847 by a rich southern planter. When this builder’s grandson died, the estate was so tied up that no one had been living in it for fourteen years. This last owner had been found choked to death in his great living roorp. He had apparently been writing, but whatever he had written was gone. Now seventy-five years ago there were no great detectives, so nothing was ever done about this crime. Too, everyone hated this man and all considered his death a benefit to the community. But, as I was saying, the lawn and those once beautiful old fashioned gardens had long been overrun with weeds. As I drew nearer I saw that March, Nineteen Thirty 25 ly vaulted over the fence and proceeded to the great plantation mansion. I stepped on the spacious veranda and tried the old oaken door. It was locked. I rapped the great brass knocker three times, and to my bewilderment the great door swung open. Still not having recovered from my surprise, I stepped in the dimly lighted hall. I did not see who opened the door nor did I see any living creature. I cautiously crept along near the wall to the great stairway. The dust was quite thick and each step I took left a tell-tale track. But what I couldn’t understand was that if other people were in the house, why did they not also leave tracks? Just as I was thinking about this I saw something that made me reel with horror. I saw footprints, the most extraordinary footprints though. One was like that of an animal of the dog family and the other that of a human bare foot. I had enough. I turned to leave, and to be more calm I lit a cigarette. When I returned to the entrance, I found it closed and locked. A cold sweat broke out upon my forehead. I dropped my cigarette. I was getting hotter and hotter. In my craze I looked down and saw fire around me. My cigarette! I had started a fire. I guess I went mad then. All I remember is heat, smoke, screams, agony and a desperate struggle for life. When I came to, I w'as lying out on the lawn, and the house was a smouldering pile of ruins. I had apparently broken the door down in my craze. It must have taken superhuman strength though, but I have heard that a mad man doesn’t know his strength. I was haunted with those horrible half-human screams I had heard. They were the only things I l'emembered during the time of my discovery of the fire, and my return to my senses on the lawn. It was apparently the screams of the owner of those singular tracks in the hall, and the same screams that had lured me into the house. In some strange and mysterious manner I reached home where I lay many weeks near death. Always at night those horrible screams awakened me. At last I recovered. I am not the same person, nor will I ever be again. Because those horrible screams still linger in my fanciful mind. —Lee Burkey. VOCATIONAL WEEK. The week of February 10-14 was vocational week with Mr. Hartley as the leader. On various days of the week, the students were asked to answer some questions as to their vocation and to give the biography of whom they were most interested. The questions were such as “Have you selected a vocation?” If not, there were reasons to be checked which were “I have not thought seriously about it,” “I cannot decide between two vocations,” “I do not know what I am best fitted for” and “I am going to let someone decide for me.” 26 March, Nineteen Thirty The last question was “Have you talked seriously about your vocation with anyone?” During the week, posters were placed about the building concerning vocational success. The students wrote the one they liked the best at Assembly Friday morning. Assembly which was held Friday the 14th, was arranged in the form of a meeting with Don Aby as president. There were several talks given by some of the students in regard to vocational success. The talks were given by Marion Martin, Clae Swango and Keith Brown. Each talk was followed by group singing led by Miss Russell. Everyone enjoyed this Assembly and it is hoped that a few persons at least gained some good from it which will help him or her to choose a suitable vocation. —Norma Gleason. A NEARBY TOWN. One bright Day when the grass was Dewey, the King of England started to a nearby town. He took the queen, who wore a Brown Jewel in her Gray hair. They were on the Wright road because it led through the Fields by the Birch tree where the White “Pickles” grew. They passed the Church where the Maurine band played. It was there A-bee placed its Bell in the King’s hand and Benn-ett off. He said it was a “Spike.” The king then decided it was No-lan’ for him, so he got a Newman to Cart-er to the nearby town. On the way they saw an attempted robbery. A Crowe flew from a Birch tree and made an attempt to Rob-ert of the New-ton of Grubb that he had to Sue the Packer for. At this time a Bow-man shot an arrow at the Crowe, which only hit his Shinn, which made a Hickey. “Now I Ask-ew, Silli-man,” said the Crowe, “Is it arrows you would Wil-son to his Dennis (t) work with?” The Bow-man learned a Morrell from this incident. After the queen had bought a Pyle of Woody chocolates, which she paid a large Price for, she returned to the palace and lived happily ever after. —Philip Pyle. Dale: “How can you tell how old a chicken is?” Woody: “By the teeth.” Dale: “A chicken has no teeth.” Woody: “You do though.” Walter C. (to boy playing in a puddle) : “My land, get out of that puddle at once.” Gordon S.: “Aw, go find a puddle for yourself. I saw this one first.” “It’s all wrong about those Irish being good fighters.” “Yeh?” “Yeh. Last night me and my brother Gus and two other fellows licked one.” March, Nineteen Thirty 27 AN IDEAL HIGH SCHOOL GIRL. There are many traits a girl must have in order to be an ideal High School girl. Her personal character and her disposition must be good. She must live up to the standards required to be an idealist or a model for other girls. She must be a good sportsman and take part in school activities with a real interest. She should do her duty in earnest rather than doing it because she thinks she has to. Her work should be done thoroughly and accurately. The girl must show respect to her classmates in school, on the street, or wherever she happens to be among them. Teachers should be treated with the same good respect as the classmates. Anyone in need of help in any way should receive it from the girl if it is at all possible for her to do it. If she herself cannot do it she should find someone who can and take her to the person in need of it. She should always be ready and willing to do anything she is told to do without hesitating and making up excuses. She should have a neat and clean appearance wherever she is seen. She should not go to extremes in her dress or her manners but should act natural and sensible. Her manners at home, at school or on the street should be the kind that no one would be ashamed of and that most everyone would want to copy. She should sit, stand and walk with the correct posture, never round shouldered but always straight. Her language should be weli spoken and her choice of words correctly selected and used in the right place. She should never address anyone, no matter who it is, in a sharp or unmannerly tone. Her voice should always be pleasant and never loud or indecent. She should be careful about interrupting a conversation until it is finished. I should think that a good motto for the ideal High School girl to follow would be: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” No doubt but that she would want to be treated in a fair and mannerly way in all her affairs and dealings. —Norma Gleason. Lady in grocery store: “Are you sure these eggs are fresh ?” Don Aby to John Dunlap: ’’Boss, are these eggs cool enough to sell yet.” Mr. Askew while fixing track: “Walter, how does it come we have been digging the same time and I have a larger hole dug than you?“ Walter C.: “You have the largest pile of dirt. —Philip Pyle. Jean: “I want to go to a co-educational college.” Margaret: “But, isn’t there a good deal of flirting there?” Jean: “Yes, but you don’t need to take that course.” March. Nineteen Thirty 29 RULES AND REGULATIONS. If you have anything to say, say it while the teacher is talking. Talk to annoy your neighbor—it’s polite. Laugh long and loud—it’s healthy. When leaving, do not go quietly or shut the door behind you, or the teacher won’t miss you. Run up and down stairs—it saves time. Go on the left side to be different from others. (Moral: Obey traffic laws.) If you drop a book, pick it up because you may need it, but leave all of the papers for Mr. Jones—he’ll enjoy picking them up. Don’t bother to return borrowed books—it’s too inconvenient. Write in them to help the next one. Turn the leaves down and leave them around anywhere—someone will find them. Never study chemistry—it’s too much trouble. Just spread the newspapers all over the reading table—they make beautiful decorations. Follow these instructions and enjoy yourself. —Adapted. DONT’S FOR FRESHMEN. Don’t feel bad when Miss Silliman calls you down—she doesn’t. Don’t cram for exams—it just isn’t done. Don’t feel bad if you flunk a thing or two once in a while—nobody else does. DON’T FEEL BAD IF YOU AREN’T INVITED TO THE JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION—THE SENIORS DON’T. Dorothy Puckett, Rebecca Shinn. MISPLACED SLOGANS. “Good to the Last Drop”—Haviland China. “Eventually, Why Not Now”—National Undertakers’ Association. “Keep that School Girl Complexion”—Associated Rouge Industries. “The Flavor Lasts”—Tasteless Castor Oil. “The Strength of Gibraltar”—Limburger Cheese. “Premium Hams”—Metropolitan Opera Company. “The Danger Line”—X-Y-Z Railroad Crossing. —Adapted. Mr. Nowlan: “I’ve never seen a report card like this before. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” Tom: “Frankly, Dad, I’m not. You promised me ten dollars if I brought home a good report card but I thought you’d better economize.” Mr. Askew: “A team can never win a game if they haven’t their supporters behind them.” Voice: “Most people wear them on their legs.” Mr. McC.: “Robert, what is bacteria.” Robert McRell: “The rear entrance to a cafeteria.” 30 March, Nineteen Thirty aura YdDim taagnune? iiiini Everyone leaving school at 3.15?

E. B. PACKER PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON TOULON, ILLINOIS March, Nineteen Thirty 31 OVER a period of years no single industry has been more secure than dairying. Good years or bad—it is one of the mainstays of agriculture. This is due in a great measure to the fact that there has been less price fluctuation and a more consistent demand for dairy products than for any other strictly agricultural commodity. The combination of good cows and an efficient and durable cream separator is the very foundation of profitable dairying. Farmers everywhere are realizing this by building up their dairy herds, raising better cows, and investing in McCormick-Deering ball-bearing cream separators in ever-increasing numbers.
