Toulon Township High School The Tolo u published bq CThe Class of 1936 of Toulon Township High School Toulon, Illinois Dedication IDe, the Seniors of 1936, dedicate the Tolo, a record of our accomplishments, amusements, and athletics for the past four gears, to the Old Settlers of Toulon Tomnship. It mas they mho made it possible to haue a high school in this community, beginning mith the Old Academy. It mas these pioneers and their descendants, not the drifters,” mho mere and are respon sible for the splendid establishment mhich is our school. IDe mish, by this dedication to shorn our sincere, though belated, appreciation to them for their perseruering efforts. wAdministration board of Education -j— The Board of Education is the organization behind the school. They must approve all expenditures of the high school, and without their support no school can improve. Our Board has proved to be a good one, cooperating with Mr. Wilkins and the faculty, so that we have been able to make our school even better than it was before. Since the students seldom have a chance to express their appreciation to the Board for their many hours of labor spent in our behalf, we take this opportunity to do so. The Board of Education of Toulon Township High School consists of Burt W. Eltzroth, president; Clyde Berfield, secretary and treasurer; assisted bv Leslie Hodges, Neil McKenzie, Harvey Price, Ray D. Nicholson, and Harlan Rice. Page (� M. P IPilkins Principal A.B., A.M. Knox College I’nivcrsity of Illinois The purpoye of the high school is to educate the successive groups of students who enter its doors. Education is a process of preparation for the responsibilities and privileges of adult life. Since this educative process should be a continuous growth, the cu:riculum must be adapted to the needs of the existing community life. It is the business of the school to direct youth so that they may carry on their pursuits intelligently instead of blindly. In all of the activities of the high school, provision should be made for participation of all its members on equal terms in order that individuals may have a personal interest in its social relationships and control. Good school citizenship will .nsure civic efficiency—the ability to judge men and measures wisely and to take a determining part in making, as well as obeying laws.

Page 11 Journal of the Senior Class In September 1932, a band of twenty-eight of us started out as Pioneers in a new, unexplored territory. We were going to settle down and work hard for four years. We had a new leader, Mr. I). I,. Wood, who helped us over the rough spots. Our stunt, given at the Tolo Carnival, was voted the best. Our advisors were Miss Ochm’re, and Air. McCullough. We electee! Curtis Sturm to be Presielent of our little colony, Robert Dunlap to be Vice-President, and Kathryn Parrish as our Secretary and Treasurer. Our Vice-President also received the honor of winning second in Oration in the Declamation Contest at Bradford this year. The second year we knew how to make our wav a little better in this new territory. We gave a “Hard Times Party,” and invited all of our neighbors. Some of the boys made attractive girls when they were all dressed up in their sisters’ clothes. It was the best gathering of the year. Two of our colonists won honors at the County Declamation Contest. Robert Dunlap won second in Extemporaneous Speaking, and Frances Berfield won second in Oration. We had Miss Durnin and Air. Askew for our advisors. The President of our colony was Jane Dewey, and Vice-President was Jeff McClellan. We considered this a very successful year. At the beginning of the third year, we found that we had prospered during the past two years, and decided to have a reception. We decorated our banquet hall like a music shop, and invited our closest neighbors in to enjoy our merrymaking. Earlier in the ■ � ar some of our talented Pioneers got together and gave a play, “I Will, I Won't”. Robert Dunlap did even better this year in declamation, winning first place in the county contest. Probably some of our successes were due to the splendid advice given us by Miss Durnin, Air. Green, and Aliss Butcher during this year. We elected Hazel Webster for our President, Curtis Sturm for Vice-President, Jane Dewey for Secretary, and Jeff' McClellan for Treasurer. The fourth year in High School Colony we elected Jeff McClellan for our President, Jane Dewey for Vice-President, and Robert Dunlap for Secretary and Treasurer. Our advisors were Aliss Fisher and Air. Castle. A group of our people gave another play this year. The name of it was “Girl Shy”. It was certainly a great success—even more than the one of last year. Our expedition through the wilderness of T. T. H. S. has been quite a success; at least, we think so We are soon to leave this settlement; our little band will be broken up, and each will seek new territories to develop or new worlds to conquer. Signed, sealed and executed on this twenty-eighth day of February, in the year of our Lord A. I). 1936. H ELEN IV AH HEN.

We therefore declare this to be our last will and testament. First, it is our desire that our funeral expenses and just debts be paid from the remains of our estate.

Signed, sealed and published by the said class of 193(5 as their Last M ill and Testament. Having been duly witnessed and signed, we. the Senior Class, hereunto set our seal to this, our last will and testament, on this day, Friday, March the 13th in the year of our Lord A. D. 193(5. SENIOR CLASS. Committee: Kathleen Ham Katherine Wilkinson Lcland Newman Witnesses: The Wastepaper Basket Study Hall Clock Evening Shadows Approaching Page 17 Prophecy of The Senior Class of 1935-36 I lie year is 2050 A. 1). The members of the 1935-3(5 Senior class of the T. T. H. S. have long ceased to be useful to man or beast on this terrestrial globe. For the setting, we take you to one of Satan’s warmer fires, where Chester Sundquist and Dorothy (tordoti are cozilv simmering, the temperature being a mere 1,000 F. Not bad after the winter of ’3(5,” remarks Chester as he warms his hands over the fire. A cah, good old Toulon High days.” returns his companion. “Incidentally, you little thought then that you were getting practice shoveling coal in preparation for your life s work. How nice it was for Satan ! You needed no training for your position here.” By the by, according to the latest report from S.B.C., Satan’s Broadcasting Station, odoriferous fumes are to be released next week as a new torture for the late arrivals.” Yes, Cary MeClenahan compounds those in her laboratory prepared by Satan, since she had been such a success as a perfume chemist in New York before she came here. Those fumes ought to hit poor Georqie Meliell pretty hard for dying just before Katherine II ilkinson married him. He courted her long enough; even after he struck oil on his dad’s old farm, he couldn’t seem to make up his mind and during most of those years, Katherine kept Hert Jackson on the string. There he is over in that corner with the long grey beard, mumbling to himself. He's still trying to figure out how to beat the ponies, after spending a life time in that pursuit!” The conversation continues by an observation from Chester. “.Inna I.ee Fuller received her appointment as director of Satan’s experimental dairy last month, but from the way she looks at those cows, it’s a wonder they don’t give sour milk. “Do you recognize your old pal ‘Blondie’ Hatcell? She’s the hermitess with the long stringy hair. Looking at that, you can sure understand why she chose a life of solitude.” “Too bad my old friend Martin Anderson couldn't join us, but lie's up there with the rest of the angels. Preachers get a complimentary ticket past Gabriel, vou know. It takes a pull these days.” “I’ve done it! I’ve done it!” screams a little, wirv-haired demon. “What have you done, ‘Shrimp’? asked Dorothy, for it was little ‘Jeffie McClellan, the earthly famous physicist. Don’t be talking too soon,” Jeffie warns excitedly. It won’t be long till I’m a giant among you. As soon as I inject ties magic potion into your leathery innards, you'll shrink and shrink and SHRINK! Dorothy and Chester run out trying to elude him. The scene shifts. We see a group of gangling angels, skipping hither and yon over the Elvsian fields. My ! but tlie.'r wings are dirty. Their washday must surely be overdue. Wonder what's the matter with “Susy” Iter field? She’ll be sent back Page IX to purgatory if she doesn’t watch out. Earth must be much dirtier, since such an accomplished washer-woman sailed away. She certainly did her part toward conquering filth. Think of her supporting that worthless wastrel of a drunkard, lidding Pearson by such muscular efforts. At this moment Bob Dunlap breaks the silence with, “Isn’t Teddy Rounds the most graceful skipper? But he has an advantage. After all. a celebrated tight rope walker ought to be graceful and poised. His earthly accomplishment equipped him better for heaven than most of ours did for us. Look at me for instance. Garbage collectors arc in little demand up here. I guess garbage and heaven won’t mix.’’ “Tra-la-la-Ia-la-la.” That is Miss Louise O’Keefe, with a hangover from her former reign as queen of musical comedy at the Selwyn in Chicago. Boy! Did she ever dump Harold Dustin! After all, a mere organ grinder couldn't expect to rate long with her. There ‘Dust if ’ is now with his pet monkey, Rip. Let’s ask him what he thinks of the high price of potatoes. Hey, ‘Dusty’!” Hi. fellas! I’ve got some news. Ruth Williamson was just released from purgatory today, and she’ll be here in time for the harp exhibition. Gosh, she had a hard time convincing them she was a deserving character. I don’t care what she says, the town gossip is a suspicious person. Maybe if Raymond Mahan; had lived, slic’d have found other interests. Oh, hut that was fate. Tiddly winks became the fad after his arrival here. You know he almost won the title, ‘champion tiddlywinks tipper,’ but Naomi Egbert, a dark horse, showed him up.” Yea,” said Teddy Rounds, joining Dusty, “She practiced enough. I guess! Say. and talk about being beaten -poor Stephen Walker! I guess lie crushed Faye Gerard once too often. Crushing seems to be his life. You know he specialized in crushed pineapple, and finally became indispensable in that industry. Gee, what a flirt that Faye was and is ! Most of the male angels are under her spell now. She was the perennial flapper, back in West Jersey, I hear.’ Here comes Hazel Webster studying the latest poultry journal,” ‘Dutsy’ observed. “You knew that she won the prize given by Marshall Winn, Mayor of San Diego, for the healthiest brood of Plymouth Itock chicks in the U. S., not so many years ago. Marshall was a generous soul. That virtue barely overbalanced his faults. His was sure a tight squeeze into heaven.” To complete the rounds, we invite you to purgatory. There we find Earle Hor ate, the venerable judge of character in Purgatory. He had been a member of the prize winning cattle judging team on earth, thus gaining indisputable experience for his position here. Don’t be surprised if you recognize some of the inmates. Poor Kathryn Parrish! Too bad she went insane over that stubborn curl that wouldn't stay in place. After that, she kept busy by putting the crooks in hairpins. We little thought in those old days that Lois Booker would be a snake charmer. Too bad her talents didn’t go to charming judges, or she might have been in heaven long ago. And Kathleen Ham. She developed into a buxom, rosy-cheeked hurdler. “I saw ‘Curt’ Sturm the other day,” remarks Evelyn Kilby, who had little hope of ever gaining the summit, heaven, for you probably know that she hen-pecked Lee Newman, her husband, until he was afraid to eat with a spoon for fear of soiling it. This sin was not terrible enough to send her to hell, hut purgatory was waiting. Lee Page 19 lies in heaven, regaining tlu spirit, so long unmercifully curbed. “I think Curl would have made a good preacher, if he and Helen IVin.ans hadn't started that gambling den in Chicago. I guess Helen persuaded him fur coats weren’t bought with a preacher’s salary. Was she ever lazy! Lying in bed and eating chocolate certainly ruined her girlish figure.” “Yes,” returns Mildred Day, draped over a permanent wave machine, which was her own pet charge. She surely keeps the inmates of purgatory frizzed to a frazzle. “Did you know that Jane Dewey and Helen Warren would have been angels if they had continued with their missionary work, in Borneo, instead of going head-hunting themselves? I heard that they even married into a tribe of cannibals 7 And Kathleen Slygh! She’d served her sentence here and was on her way to heaven, but she tried to captivate Gabriel with her ‘eome-hither’ look and back she came!” The conversation gradually dies away and we return you once again to reality. Prophecy Committee: Alice Bennett Mary Ann Berfield Robert Leigh Senior Song Let’s sing a song for Toulon High. The school we love so well! We can’t explain the reason why We hate to say farewell. We’re soon to leave this dear old place, Oh, yes! we hate to go. But a new and different world we face, And that is full of woe. We have to meet all sorrows, And stand up like a man; We hate to face tomorrows, But if we try, we can. We hope the pathway will be bright. That each may find his share of joy; Just aiming for a higher light,” The song of every girl and boy. Naomi Kgbert Frances Howell Page 2u ...JUNIORS... Top Row—Wendell Montooth, Donald Hill.

'The Journal of the Junior Class: As Pioneers, we entered the Toulon Township High School in the year 1933. Officers of our little colony were: president. Hen Dewey; vice-president, Doris Gerard; and secretary and treasurer, Raymond Spencer. Our advisers were Miss Dewey and Mr. Morton. This year we were so busy adjusting ourselves to our new territory that we had very little time for recreation. The second year our officers were: president, Raymond Spencer; vice-president, Roger Wheeler; and secretary and treasurer, Robert Webster. We were under the supervision of Miss Ottman, whose position was later filled by Mrs. Morton, and Mr. Harms. Several of our classmates loomed up in the athletic, public speaking, and singing fields. As a reward for selling the most Tolo Carnival tickets we elected Anna Marie Parrish and Harvey Jackson as King and Queen of the Carnival. As busy .Juniors, we had three advisors: Miss Durnin, Miss Chase, and Mr. Oathout. The president of our colony was Clifton Webster; vice-president was Harvey Jackson; and secretary and treasurer was Evelyn Harlan. Our activities for the year included a clever play entitled “Peggy Parks , a Junior party, and ended with a banquet for our superiors within the colony. Thus, another year came to a close, our members hopefully anticipating promotion to superior rank in our thriving colony next season.

Journal of the Sophomore Class: September 1, in the year of our Lord . I). 1981, was a red letter day in the history of Toulon Township High School. Upon this important date a new colony of some sixty sturdy pioneers was founded. This colony has successfully weathered all storms and has been honored by being noted as the largest, the best-looking, and the most brilliant of all the settlements in this great country. The leaders of our little colony the first year were the stalwart Kubcn Grant, president; Beryl Howell, vice-president; and Donald Day, secretary and treasurer. Under our capable advisors. Miss Main and Mr. Morton, our little colony flourished greatly. The second year after our founding, our valiant officers lost power and were succeeded by David Miller, president; Velma Cobb, vice-president; and Janet Downend, secretary-treasurer. Our advisors became Miss Main and Mr. Metzger. At the time of the writing of this journal we are about to engage in battle with the neighboring trilies over the selling of Tolo tickets. We'll let you know in the future how we come out. Signed, sealed, and executed on this eleventh day of February, in the year of our Lord A. D. 1986. Janet Downend ami Ruth Shearer.

Journal of tin Freshman Class: As a group of devilish young pioneers we started on our career on September 2, 1935, by proving ourselves the most capable, talented, energetic, intelligent, and artistic class to attend the Toulon Township High School for centuries past and future (we hope). Our Freshman basketball players need no praise at this time as their marvelous ability on the basketball Boor was evident to all. 'Fhc Freshman girls glided gracefully over the volley-ball floor to victory (or almost). We were led in our daring enterprises by our class sponsors, Miss Butcher and Mr. Wilkins. The officers of our colony were Hoy Wasson, president; I.lira Church, vice-president; and Martha Holmes, secretary and treasurer. We had an all-Freslunan party so as to have no upper classmen to lower the percentage of charm present. We swayed rhythmically to the strains of Wayne King's orchestra (even though his music was over the radio). Refreshments were served during the evening. The program was the high spot of the evening's festivities. If we continue our amazing careers, we will probably all become very famous some da}.

The girls have had several social functions a weiner roast in Fell's timber, and a Christmas party at Miss Durnin s apartment. Each year two play-days are conducted in which the different schools of the county are represented. Last fall one was held in Galva. Those that can swim have gone swimming several Saturdays in Kewanee at the Y. W. C. A. A class volley hall tournament was held in the fall, in which the Sophomores were declared champions. We have gone on several hikes and have had basketball practice Friday noons in the gym. To receive pins or letters from the organization certain requirements, such as keeping health cards, taking part in organized games, and attending Physical Education classes so many hours arc necessary.

The organization of the girls' quartette was delayed this year, due to the all-state chorus meet, which demanded a great amount of time and work from Miss Fisher last fall. It was necessary to train almost an entire new quartette, with only one senior representative, Louise O'Keefe. The other members are Mary Ann Bcrfiehl, Esther Jones, and Alice Bennett. The quartette was scheduled to sing for the Athletic banquet. Due to illness. Esther Jones was unable to attend. The remaining members sang two numbers as a trio. All the members of this year's boys quartette had belonged to last year’s group. The boys were soon brought into service and sang for several events last fall and winter including the senior class play, a Congregational Church entertainment, and the Athletic Banquet. Two members are seniors, Robert Dunlap and Bert Jackson. Ben Dewey and Francis Scott, the other members, are juniors. Page 33 From Left to Right—Bert Jackson, Bob Dunlap, Francis Scott, Ben Dewey.

The hand played for various public programs during the year, among them the Athletic Banquet, Tolo Carnival, Christian Men’s Banquet, and all basketball games. The group could not play at football games because so many of the members were on the squad. In November the band was invited to participate in a high school hand festival. It was sponsored by Bierly's Music Company of Peoria, and all the high school bands of any size in the state, outside of Chicago, were invited to participate. In the morning all the bands paraded on the main streets of Peoria, and in the afternoon the Urbana High School band gave a concert in tbe State Armory. As our band was not trained in marching they did not parade; however they attended both parade and concert. In May, Bradford and Tiskilwa High Schools conducted an invitational contest in which Toulon competed. The High School Band sponsored a party which was given December . It was voted to be a Hard Times Party and that it was. As guests, the Band invited the Boys’ and Girls choruses and each Band member was permitted to invite one guest. The program began with a two-act play, “Who Killed Cock Robin?”, given by the Freshman and Sophomore Girls chorus. The Junior and Senior Girls’ Chorus then gave a short program consisting of songs and jokes, and the Boys' Glee Club sang two numbers. The program was concluded with several numbers by the Band. Dancing was en joyed during the remaining part of the evening. A small jack-in-the-box was awarded Doris Gerard for having the best costume which was an attractive model created in burlap with a chic tin hat and corresponding accessories. Page 31 ...

During the year any person or persons participating in plays or contests automatically became members. Kobert Dunlap was elected President of the group and Katherine Wilkinson was Secretary and Treasurer. The members of this club gave a Corridor Party on December 19. Each member of the club was permitted to ask a guest. The upper ball was decorated with red and green streamers and a Christmas tree added charm to the scene. Music for dancing was furnished by Murchison’s Orchestra. For those who did not wish to dance, card tables and cards were furnished.

The preliminaries for the County Declamation Contest were held Monday 13. The County meet was held April 28 and May 1, in which Toulon made as good a showing as usual. AMATEUR HOURS A new type of entertainment was introduced this year. It was amateur hours, in charge of Dramatic Club members, and consisting of numbers by members of the student body and the faculty. They were to take place monthly, but because of so many extra activities, there have been only three. Page 35 Senior Class Play The annual Senior class play, entitled “Girl-Shy” and directed hv Miss Helen Butcher, was presented to a full house November 15. The three-act comedy was received with much laughter and applause. There was a mystery: a working girl and a rich co-ed exchanged places; but it ended happily for all with a masquerade ball, and Tom, the girl-shy hero, cured of his malady by Babs, the heroine.

The Boys' Quartette sang between acts and Eleanor Coakley played a piano solo. It was a huge success, proved not only by its excellent reception, but by the gate receipts which netted the Senior Class over one hundred dollars. Junior Class Play The Junior class presented their annual play, “Peggy Parks,” directed by Miss Helen Butcher, on April 27 to a capacity crowd. The play centered around Peggy Parks, the heroine, whose aspirations to become a Hollywood celebrity took her westward. She parked herself in a Western village and took a run-down tourist camp away from its timid owner and turned it into a thriving business. The clever characterizations and witty dialogue were well received by the audience. The cast was as follows: Peggy Parks ................................

Arlene Gelvin Miss Chase had charge of the ticket sales and the advertising. The Mixed Chorus sang between acts, Alice Bennett sang a solo, and Miss Fisher and Eleanor Coakley played a piano duet. The play was a great success in more ways than one, the class netting a large profit with which to finance their banquet. All School Parties The Freshmen were special guests at the first party of the year, sponsored by the Seniors, Friday, Septeml� er the 13th. Robert Dunlap and Curtis Sturm introduced the Freshmen. A program was presented by upper classmen, after which dancing was enjoyed. Music was furnished by Murchison's orchestra of Galva. Card tables were placed in one end of the gym for those not wishing to dance. Refreshments were served during the evening. If successful parties means anything, Friday the 18ths aren't so very unlucky. The Hallowe'en party was sponsored by the Sophomores. Games appropriate to the season were played and a program was presented consisting mainly of a dance by Lucille Heaton and Gale Newman accompanied by Alice Bennett's singing and Jimmy Hutchens at the piano. The remainder of the evening was again spent in dancing and refreshments were served. The annual Christmas party was given by the Junior Class. Diversions of the evening were a program, a cake-walk, and dancing, again to Murchison's music. Page 3d 1. A Senior Lass— Anna Lee Fuller 2. A Senior Lad— Lewis Heaton 3. Want to go along? 4.

In their first conferenee game, the locals gave a very creditable battle to the pre-season league favorite—Wethersfield High although losing b to 0. After battling Chillieothe to a b to (j tie last year, the Met germen walloped the River city hoys this year by a 48 to 12 count. In a wild and wooly game, Toulon was defeated by the strong Geneseo team 52 to 2b , a team which was beaten out but once during the season. Toulon’s 2b points scored against (Jeneseo may be compared with Bradford’s 14 and Wethersfield’s none against the same team. Toulon was then shut out by Walnut 28 to 0 and then dropped a close 20 to 7 game to Bradford, the game being much closer than the score indicates. Accompanied by a huge throng of boosters, Toulon nipped an overconfident Wyoming team by a score of b to 0 and then concluded the season with a 12 to 0 victory over Galva.

This was Earle’s last year. LELAND NEWMAN—“Lee” played his last football game for Toulon against Galva, and what a game he played! He was the most consistent player on the squad. CLYDE HAM—Clyde was a substitute, but he saw plenty of service and should develop into a fine tackle. Clyde has two more years to play. DAVID MILLER—When it comes to catching passes, Dave has few equals. His speed in getting down under punts was outstanding in the Wyoming game. With two more years Dave should go places. JEWETT WASSON When “Tub” gets mad, opposing linemen are in for a tough afternoon. Great things are expected of “Tub” in the future. ROLAND B SS—Roland was a fine center, seldom making a had pass, and w.tli another year to go he should be a valuable man in competition. ROB ERT SI I INN — Another sophomore and a truly natural football player. “Shinny” likes the game and should go places in the future. His playing against Wyoming at end proved a thorn in the side of Toulon's old rivals. CLIFTON WEBSTER — Captain - elect “Mickey” Webster, playing his second year as a quarterback, proved to he an all-around consistent player. Great things arc expected of him next year. HARVEY JACKSON Fast, elusive, a hard-to-catch, hard-to-tackle halfback. When “Har is turned loose next fall, try and stop him. Watch him go! He knows how to make touchdowns! ROBERT BRUNIXG “Dutch”, with everyone pulling for him, should realize that great things are expected of him in 1986. With two more years ahead of him “Dutch” should go to town. ROBERT LEIGH—The “General” of the squad was a good charger, alert, and equipped with bull-dog courage. Watch this hoy go next year. HAROLD WILKINSON—A little light in weight, “ eke” filled in at guard position in fine style. He did everything well and without undue flurry. “Zeke” has one more year in which to win glory. REN DEWEY—A bundle of aggressiveness! That is Ben Dewey. His play and determination in the Wethersfield game proved that Toulon has another dependable end for 1936. 1935 NUMERAL MEN To these hoys go the credit for the success of next year’s team. With a little seasoning these hoys should form a fine nucleus for future teams. Keep up the fine spirit; you deserve a lot of credit. Coach William Metzger. Page 42 A • • • THE BOIJS IN ACTION ...

It is also the first Toulon team ever to compete in and win the first game in Sectional competition. Toulon was one of the 64 l est teams in the State of Illinois and the only district winner in the state to win the first game in the Sectional. They won two beautiful trophies this year a third place trophy in the Toulon Invitational Holiday Tournament and a first place in the District Tournament at Princeville. Page 44 . • • BASKETBALL H1QHUQHTS . • • CAPTAIN ROBERT DUN CAP Dunny’s indomitable “never say die’' spirit has set u} a standard of captaincy which will he hard to surpass in future years. The excellent team spirit was greatly helped by his leadership. As an offensive guard, Dunny was consistently fine. Bob Dunlap—Captain, a fighter, and a gentleman. Cl'KTIS STlTRM From forward position Curt had the ability to connect with the hoop from any spot on the floor, as evidenced by the twenty-two points he scored against Galva in mid-season. The precision of his shots was something at which to marvel. Upon graduating. Curt will leave a position in the offensive machine which will lie hard to fill, not because of inadequate material, hut rather for the quality of plav which he has estabished. Curt Sturm Small, a scrapper, and a good sport. DAVID MILLER—When the going was tough he was at his best. Dave possesses uncanny accuracy in controlling the jump. His average of three or four baskets a game and as many free-throws, made him high scorer of the team. With two more years ahead of him, Dave may be expected to set up a record which should stand for years. Dave Miller Lanky, handy, and a tough man to guard. CLYDE HAM—Many opposing forwards who were usually high scorers soon became bewildered by Clyde’s mastery of their plays. Although only a sophomore, Clyde was the main cog in the defensive machine and was an outstanding defensive player of this locality. Given proper backing, he and his teammates may be expected to gain new honors during the next seasons. Clyde Ham—Cool, alert, every inch a scrapper. TED PYLE When the points were needed, Ted was there making them. Ted possessed an accurate shooting eye, swishing four out of five shots against Wethersfield at Moline, and scoring 17 points at Chilicothe. Next year, being his last. Ted should be a mainstay of the Toulon team. Ted Pyle—Small, agile, and a fine player. By J. O. RESERVE TEAM Toulon can also well be proud of the work of the reserve team. They showed a fine brand of basketball throughout the season, and promise another great team next year. Although quite small, they managed to cause the r opponents plenty of worry and won the majority of their encounters. Keep up that old spirit, boys, and you will have a winning team. We are all backing you! COACHES COMMENTS OF TOULON Coach Salen Herke, Peoria Central—Where did you get all those big bruisers? I didn't see anv of them last year. You have as good a ball club as I have seen this year.” Coach Ross Anderson, Kewanee High “I wouldn't want to bet a cent against that Toulon outfit.” Coach “Frenchy” Ha ussier, Pekin “You have wonderful basketball spirit. Coach Kenneth Elliot, La Fayette High—“You boys have a nice ball club. You should go to town.” Page L5 Coach Donald Coats, Wyoming High—“You use the wrong system.” BASKETBALL TEAM IN POSITION A CKNO V I.

Toulon Ili li School opened September 2, 1985, with an enrollment of 209 students under the management of a new principal, Mr. Wilkins. We all know him pretty well now though. The all-school party sponsored by the Seniors, September 14, was a big success. Further details will he found under the activities. All clubs and classes were organized during the first month of school. Toulon won their first two football games by large margins from Neponset and Sheffield on September 20 and 27 respectively, with scores of 98-0 and 75-0.

Toulon won the Galva-Toulon football game 12 to 0 on the 20th of November, which added to the gayety of the Homecoming parade and dance the same day and evening. Alice Bennett and Francis Scott missed the celebration because they took part in the Illinois State Glee Club at the High School Conference at I'rbana, practices for which started on the 20th. A freshman class party was held November 27 for the freshmen and their guests only. We lost a football game to Bradford on the first, 20 to 7, but made up for it by winning from Wyoming 6 to 0 on the eighth. The band went to Peoria November 2. December started off with an uproariously gay Hard Times Party sponsored by the band for them and their guests. It was held on the sixth. The Junior all-school party took place on December 18th. On the 18th, the G. A. A. was entertained at a Court Whist card party by Miss Durnin and Miss Main in their coxy apartment. Reno, the magician, held the student body spellbound in a program of tricks the afternoon of the 18tb. The G. A. A. sponsored the affair. The Dramatic Club held a corridor party on the nineteenth. A week and a half before Christmas the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs went caroling for the shut-ins of Toulon. Afterwards they partook of hot chocolate and home made cookies at the high school. The basketball season opened in December with a practice game with Kewance on the eleventh. Our first official game was with Princeville in December I t. We won 18 to 10. Then we beat Sheffield three days later by a score of 86 to 21. Our first defeat came at the hands of I.a Fayette on their floor December 20. The score was 28 to 10. One week in December was spent in earning money for new suits for the basketball squad. The students sold subscriptions to magazines and to make up the balance, cake walks were held between games and halves of games. The mothers of the boys on the team furnished the cakes or 50 cents. Toulon won third place in the invitational holiday tournament held here December 26, 27, and 28. Dr. Clyde Lyon, President of Eureka College, addressed the assembly on January 7. He gave readings from Shakespeare. Semester exams came on the 16th and 17th, causing a session of cramming for a few days before.

The football banquet was served to a crowd of 250 January 21. The speaker of the evening was Wendell Wilson from the University of Illinois. lie also showed the talking picture, “The Illini Trail.” The Wyoming basketball game, played here, was lost to them by a score of 22-21. It was a thriller! Wethersfield downed the team 26 to 18 on their “cracker box floor. Toulon beat Galva 82-21 in a raggedly played game on Galva’s floor January 81. Heavy snows, illness, or something caused Toulon to forfeit to Bradford in their scheduled game in the Princeville Bi-County Tournament held January 28, 24, 25.
