LLOYD TRICKLE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY $ Adventure Beckoning to Us, we joyously launched our ship upon the sea of wisdom, as we set sail for distant ports. As Lieutenant Commander of our ship, Ben Dewey received recognition. Our Lieutenant was Doris Gerard, with Raymond Spencer serving as Purser and Master of the Log. Lookouts were Mr. Morton and Miss Dewey. Several became seasick during our first days at sea, and they returned home by small boats. Among this weaker group were Carl McMullen, Frederick Hollers, Donald Ingles, Thomas Booker, Edith Tuthille, and Genevieve Mason. During this year another sailor joined us, being none other than the hardy Olive Mees. Green but Growing” was chosen as the crew’s motto, and a flag of gold and silver was raised, amid hearty cheers from all hands on board. Just to be different, they decided to accept the yellow rose as the special insignia of their vessel. The following year, 1934, with the aid of Miss Ott-man and Mr. Harms, several promotions took place, the more important being: Raymond Spencer, Lieutenant Commander, Roger Wheeler, Lieutenant, and Robert Webster, Purser and Master of the Log. Doris Egbert, Thomas Page, and Alta Foulk were very much attracted to one of the foreign ports at which we landed, so we lost three more sailors. A fourth, who foresook us for the army, was Herbert Stambaugh. As a reward for selling the most tickets to the Tolo Carnival, we were given the privilege of choosing, from our crew, Harvey Jackson and Anna Marie Parrish as king and queen of the Carnival. During the third year of our voyage, we were really put to work. The only ones who digusted us were the officers in command, who refused to consider us as anyone of importance. We chose very capable leaders. This time. Miss Chase, Miss Durin, and Mr. Oathout kept watch over us. The more experienced sailors demanded special recognition from their inferiors in the form of a banquet. This meant that we would have to work hard to secure money tor the great event. Candy was sold, but still this did not give us enough of the precious metal. Our superiors were now' strutting around, scarcely looking at us as they had just given a play which had proved to be the most successful recorded in the log” of Toulon High School. We decided to give a play, our aim in view being to make it better than that of the older crew. We were determined that they would have no reason to snub us. Now for that feast! They fell to” with a will and even complimented us. From that time on, they thought the little mates weren't so bad after all. Some of the sailors were left behind on 'the last part of our journey. These included William McRell, Raymond Spencer, Lance Shockley, Jean Mock, Harold Shiltz, Robert Webster, Olive Mees, Margaret Skinner, Jacob Roark, Hazel Roark, Donald Keckler, Marguerite Williams and Helen Hall. Officers for 1936 were: Harvey Jackson, Lieutenant-Commander; Anna Marie Parrish, Lieutenant; and Doris Gerard, Purser and Master-of-the-Log. Mr. Castle and Miss Fisher served as Lookouts. Our ship of state sailed on with more assurance this year. On September 18th, we, as the old timers, gave the new-comers a hard times” party; of course, every one was invited. Friday, November 13th! Bad Luck Day.” No! Good Luck. Why? The Senior play, Catch That Thief, was presented by some of our talented members. To present our drama, we landed at a seaport town called Toulon, where we captured the attention of the whole community as well as the thief. Semester examinations are over. Worries are over for the Seniors until final exams. Gee! We only wish they were. Our present motto is: Resolved, the Senior Class or '37 will publish the best Tolo ever to be issued in the history of our school. —Herbert Roark —Pauline Peterson Class Motto Making the best belter” Class Flower Yellow Rose Class Colors Gold and Silver SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY 4 How Do You Do, ladies and gentlemen! This is Walter Winchell, your news reporter, bringing you hot news flashes from here, there, and everywhere! Gypsy Rose Lee today filed a million dollar damage suit against Miss Virginia Hagy. Gypsy claims that Miss Hagy has infringed upon her copyright in the art of bubble dancing. Herbert Roark, eminent biologist and mathematician, has gone into retirement in order to carry on an extensive research and survey of fleas and their habits. Miss Alice Bennett, that famous fair, fat and forty prima donna of the Stark Opera Company, received a tremendous ovation from the audience of twenty-five people in the Stark Opera House last night, as she sang the last aria of Madame Caterpillar (of which Madame Butterfly is the sequel.) Incidentally, it is rumored that she and Roger Wheeler, who plays the bazooka in the symphony orchestra accompanying her, are that way” about each other. The nation’s No. 1 Public Enemy, Robert (Two-Gun) Claybaugh, was delivered to justice today when the G-Men, after a thrilling man-hunt, trapped him in his Chicago hideout. According to police, he will be defended by the Reverend Robert Newman, who believes and states that Two-Gun is merely a poor, innocent boy who has been led astray.” But crime does not pay! Esther B. McClellan, who recently divorced her fifth husband, is reported engaged to that playboy of Broadway, that dashing cavalier of the Riviera, that Honolulu heart-throb—Roland Bass. Things are at a standstill at the local unit of the Darnum and Dailey Circus Company today, because Pauline Peterson, the tattooed woman, eloped last night with Ted Pyle, the India-rubber man. The managers say, quote: No tattooed woman and India-rubber man, no circus!” New York City, New York—Frank (Bring 'Em Back Alive McClenahan has just returned from darkest Africa, where he has been living on turtle eggs and garter snakes, while continuing his search for the remaining members of his long-lost family. There he found his cousin Hugo swinging from tree to tree, and, after a difficult time, succeeded in capturing Hugo and other members of his family and bringing them back to civilization. Paris, France—A new picture, by the eminent American artist, Melvin Fox, was hung in the Louvre today. This beautiful landscape is called Sunrise Over Spoon River. Toulon, Illinois—Your reporter just received a telegram from Mr. Leon Smith who mysteriously disappeared two years ago after his famous $500,000 damage suit against Miss Mary Ann Berfield of Toulon who writes the Advice to the Love-Lorn in the Stark County News. He was defeated in the suit in which he claimed that she recommended a matrimonial bureau of which she was the owner, manager, and sole client. Mr. Smith tells me that he joined the Foreign Legion two years ago to forget the cruelty of civilization. On a recent expedition in the desert, he found Dorothy King to be the favorite wife in the harem of Shiek Ali Ben Ali, a famous bandit. Last evening marked the gala opening of McRell’s Night Club in Wady Petra, featuring Miss Lucille Amburgy as a cigarette girl. Mrs. Nathan Goldblatt, Jr. (the former Anna Marie Parrish) today returned from Paris on the liner Queen Victoria. She models foundation garments in her husband's great State Street store, and has been to Paris to see and copy the new Spring styles. Mr. and Mrs. Dale Winans (she was formerly Arlene Gelvin) have been making an extended tour of Stark County in their ultra-modern trailer, together with their fourteen children. They are at present stopping over in String City to observe their annual washday. Marshall Winn, who joined the navy to see the world, returned yesterday on the liner Saucy Sue” from his first voyage. When asked what he thought of the girls in foreign ports, he replied, The ideal sailor's sweetheart is found in Timbuctoo.” After being aloft for fifteen years in his stratosphere plane, The Worm,” the remains of Harve Jackson and The Worm” were hauled in from Death Valley” by Ernest Yelm, the Lone Ranger, and his twenty-mule borax team. Funeral services will be held at two o’clock Saturday in the local cemetery. Flash!! Vernon Phillips signed a contract to Broadcast as The Love Doctor” on a national hookup. You recall his talents as a youth for writing tender love-notes. The bitter feud between the Spencers and the Duttons came to an untimely end last night when the deceased, Harold and Claude, met in Snuffy Smith's barnyard still. Judy Stratton is confined to her bed at her home in Toulon, where she is suffering with a broken leg; she is devoting her time to writing her memoirs entitled, Doctors I Have Known.” SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Clifton Webster, known as Uncle Clifton” to the kiddies who listen to his bed-time stories every evening on the radio, recently middle-aisled it to the strains of the wedding march with Miss Polly Spencer, Radio's well-known singing lady. Now the kiddies will have a treat. Our keyhole-peeper informs us that Miss Doris Gerard, the Missouri Sweetheart, is suing Francis Scott, the dare-devil king of the speedways, for bleach of promise. Flash! Miss Eileen Nicholson, that gay red-headed divorcee, again makes an appearance in court. This time she is the other woman in the divorce suit of Astorbilt versus Astorbilt. Hollywood, California first nighters attended the premiere of that new Hollywood production, Love and Kisses starring that Romeo of Romeoes, that handsome heart-beat, that dashing idol of the modern screen—Jewett Wasson.

She was discovered by Mr. Trickle slinging hash in a well-known beanery. Also appearing at the Cocoanut Grove are that famous trio of adagio dancers, Wilkinson, Harlan, and Wilkinson, ’lhey nightly toss each other around the Grove. Ben Dewey, who has been living in a cave near Camp Grove as a hermit for the last fifty years, returned to civilization for a brief time yesterday in order to buy a year's supply ot True Romance Magazines. Fifty years ago, disappointed in love, he retired to forget the women who had done him wrong. This is your reporter, Walter Winchell, signing off. I'll be with you again at this time next year. —Ruth Shearer —David Miller —Lester Pierson -—Janet Downend —Jean Baker —Dale Fell $ The Voice of a Senior There is a class of Seniors That go to Toulon High, They all intend to graduate From high school by and by. As a member of this Senior class I scarce know what to do When my high school work is over And these happy days are through. I stand with life before me; Opportunity, the open door. And I do not know exactly What the future has in store. Perhaps Fate decides the question Of how the race of life is run, But I hope to be contented When my part on earth is done. With my fellow classmates striving To attain the best there is, I have learned, in school, the lesson To take life just as it is. Oh, I know it’s disappointing When your plans begin to fall. But if you will think it over, It may be best after all. We must take life as it comes, friends. With its joy and with its sorrow We must do our best today, then, And do better still tomorrow. -—Robert Leigh $ SENIOR CLASS WILL I, Lucille Amburgy, do hereby will and bequeath my habit of writing love-letters in typing class to Bill Scott, providing he doesn’t make any more errors than I do.

The sea has been pretty rough, but we have weathered the gale fairly well, with the aid of Miss Main and Mr. Morton. Rueben Grant as our Lieutenant-Commander, Beryll Howell as Lieutenant, and Donald Day as Purser and Master-of-the-Log, have all filled their position quite efficiently. 1935- 36—We have all received promotion after diligently mopping decks and tending boilers. We have had bestowed on us the honor of winning the Tolo Carnival ticket-selling contest, which entitled us to the selection of a king and queen. Mates Robert Shinn and Velma Cobb were chosen. We also won first prize for presentation of the best stunt given at this carnival. During this year, officers in order of their rank were David Miller, Janet Downend, and Velma Cobb, with Miss Main and Mr. Metzger serving as Lookouts. 1936- 37—Elaine Armstrong, Janet Downend, and Janet Armstrong are our present officers, being Lieutenant-Commander, Lieutenant, and Purser, respectively. As reward for their diligence in handling our ship last year, Miss Main and Mr. Metzger again occupy the Crow’s Nest. Miss Chase has been added, for her ability as a watchman has been proven in years past. We are at present selecting our class rings and planning the Junior-Senior banquet given in honor of the ship at our fleet’s head. —David Miller 4 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to Right—Elaine Armstrong, President; Janet Downend, Vice President; Velma Cobb, Secretary, and Janet Armstrong, Treasurer. Lucille Heaton and Raymond Howell had bestowed upon them a most coveted honor, that of being chosen as King and Queen, to preside over the 1936-’37 Tolo Carnival. The annual contest was held, the entire school being eligible, to see which class could sell the most tickets to the Carnival. The Juniors won, thus giving them title to a King and Queen, to be selected from their class. A vote was taken, and the two mentioned above having received the most votes became the class’ representatives.

As yet, only Sophomore,” our second port, has been reached, but the distant shore of Junior, has been faintly seen from the Crow’s Nest. During the first part of our adventuresome journey, Miss Butcher and Mr. Wilkins gave us some much-needed advice, and we had to step lively with Roy Wasson as our Lieutenant-Commander. Lura Church was Lieutenant and Martha Holmes our Purser and Master-of-the-Log. As Lieutenant-Commander of our ship at present, James Durbin serves very efficiently. Frances Nicholson is our Lieutenant and Leonard White is Purser and Master-of-the-Log. Although still rather inexperienced, we are certainly sailing along.” We proved our skill in sports by easily winning the Volleyball tournament. Many of our mates proved themselves hearty lads” on the gridiron and are achieving great success in basketball. We have proved ourselves to be one of the hardiest bunch of sailors ever to sail the ocean. —Betty Cole —Martha Holmes STEERAGE PASSENGERS Freshmen Class History On the Day of August 31, in the year of our Lord, nineteen-hundred and thirty-six, an enormous crew of innocent sailors sang lustily as they swarmed the deck of their newly-launched vessel. They were none other than us green freshmen.” Naturally, someone was needed to keep us in hand, so three of the crew, James Webster, Dorothy Brian, and Dale Smith, were elected as Lieutenant-Commander, Lieutenant, and Master-of-the-Log. On September 18, the older hands on board were pleased to give us a party, which we certainly enjoyed. With the aid of Miss Durnin and Mr. Wilkins, we are slowly and carefully making our way through the foaming waters of the deep, black sea. Despite all we could do, Wayne Warren became very sea-sick and on January 11, he was put in a small boat and rowed back to shore. He simply couldn’t stand the salty brine! Although we mourn his leaving us, we still are a happy crew, and are looking forward enthusiastically to reaching distant ports, now visible only on the map. —Dorothy Dustin -—Harriett Kerns —Dorothy Brian THIRD CLASS PASSENGER ROLL $ Back Row: left to right—Lawrence Fickling, James Durbin, Phillip Murray, Robert Addis, Dale Addis.

ROLL Relationship SENIOR CL $ This Year the Seniors presented a farce entitled Catch That Thief” directed by Miss Butcher. The performance captured the audience’s attention and likewise the thief. The plot dealt with complications due to the maid's services in aiding the thief. Jim, the thief, visited under disguise at the home of the ASS PLAY Tuttle spinsters. He and the maid, Carrie, attempted to steal the family jewels, but they were outwitted by the police force. Much of its success was due to the aid of the production staff and the faculty.

Masquerading as a girl, he causes many hilarious complications, but the final result is a happy one for everybody. Other members of the Junior class assisted in the production by serving on the various committees, and by ushering. The Juniors cleared about eighty-four dollars, toward their annual reception given in the spring. DRAMATIC CLUB Each Year, the Dramatic Club is formed automatically. Everyone that is in a class play or public speaking becomes a member. There were about 30 members this year and we had cause to be proud of everyone of them. Miss Butcher is the instructor and all of her plays have been works of art. Also, we have had great success with this year's contest speakers, among them being: Etta Marie Crow, in poetry; Dorothy Brian, in humorous; Alice Bennett, in dramatic; and Martha Johnson, in oration. Dorothy took first place at Aledo and second at Macomb. Catch That Thief and Miss Jimmy” are the titles of two plays that were produced by this year's actors. The first was given by the Seniors, the second by the Juniors. The members plan to have a party each year, and of course, this is looked forward to as a source of keen enjoyment by all participants. We enjoy working with Miss Butcher, for she is the most good-natured, good-hearted, and loyal director that any play cast could ask for.

Sportsmanship Football On September 2nd, there were eleven letter-men and several numeral men who returned to the T. T. H. S. gridiron for practice. Our first opposition was found in a new rival, Lewistown, against whom we scored a 33 to 7 victory. The squad gained momentum as the weeks passed. The high geared Geneseo eleven tried to throw a monkeywrench into the smooth-running Toulon machine, but they failed to succeed. At a steady clip, we cracked through the Blackhawk Conference without a defeat. The final game of the year was played at Galva High School for the Championship. We picked a 12-point lead in the first half, and pushed over a couple of touch-downs in the last half. This is the first undefeated and untied team in the history of Toulon Township High School.

The team of 1936 developed a spirit of cooperation, cheerful adherence to training and coaching and a love for the game seldom, if ever, equalled by a local machine. They played intelligent football displaying power, speed, deception and fine team spirit throughout the season. They were never beaten regardless of the score at any stage of the game. Coach ''Bill” Metzger knows football and boys. This successful season was in a large part a reflection of his ability to train and teach these boys to execute his plans with intelligent determination. Fourteen letter-men played in nearly every game and while they deserve credit for their accomplishment, the work of the other members of the squad in polisning the attack and defense was no less important. Clifton Webster: Captain Mickey” Webster, in addition to playing a strong defensive game, developed into a good pass thrower and receiver. For a small player, he could carry the ball with amazing speed. He was an excellent safety man and pass defender. His knowledge of the game enabled him to show some excellent judgment as quarterback. Robert Leigh: Bob was one of the most improved men'' on the squad as the season progressed. With an unlimited amount of fight and hustle, he was in the thick of the game all the time and enjoyed it immensely. His work in the Galva game was all any one could ask of a tackle. Harold Wilkinson: Zeke” was one of those persistent, steady workers designated as mud eaters” by those who appreciate what a good guard does in football. His work was not spectacular but he was an important cog in the success of the team. Harvey Jackson : As one of the five horsemen of our versatile backfield, Harv” turned in some fine open field running. In the Galva game, his first run opened up Toulon's successful march toward a touchdown. A speedy, shifty runner. Jewett Wasson: Few Illinois teams were fortified as well as T. H. S. with a line backer and bucker. Jewitt was the real spark plug of the team on offense and defense. He was our best blocker, aiding greatly in gains by the other backfield men and ends. He consistently turned in many of the hardest, cleanest tackles seen on any gridiron all season. And how the opposition hated to see him coming through the line with that ball. Roland Bass: Showed steady improvement in all departments as the season advanced. Not a showy player but very dependable. His passes from center were uniformly good. Too bad he can’t be with us next year. Ben Dewey: Ben upheld the Dewey family tradition of many years in turning in a heady and nervy display of football at end. They all looked alike to Ben, large or small. His chatter was an inspiration to some of his less highly charged team mates. And how he sprinted on that end around play! David Miller: Hal” was our chief scorer—a shifty runner with good knee action—hard to tackle. A great pass snatcher and pass defender. He also passed well, to Webster and the ends, and was of better than average ability as a punter. Hal always gave the impression the going was easy—always appearing to have something in reserve. He should have a great year in 1937. Robert Bruning: A good little halfback who seldom carried the ball, Dutch” was gifted with plenty of speed and courage. A good punter and used largely as a blocker. His runs were usually long ones. Watch Dutch” go in 1937. Warren Wilkins: Another sturdy, steady guard who combined thinking with physical effort. He will turn in many good games next fall whatever position he plays. Robert Shinn: Bob, the powerful atom, was a source of worry to all teams. The tougher the opposition, the more he enjoyed it. Looked like the Burlington Zephyr bearing down on those end around plays. Will be an important cog in next season's machine. Don Coakley: An aggressive, tenacious mud eater who improved all season. Showed his versatility by backing up the line and catching passes at end in an emergency change of line up due to injuries. William Lambert: Billy shuns the limelight but is a hard steady worker. With his size and love for the game, he should prove one of Toulon's outstanding tackles in the coming seasons. Roy Wasson: The kind of handy man that's a joy to his coach. Could fill in most anywhere with an aggressive, scrappy game. He played more positions than any other player on the squad although listed as a guard. Should be a star in 1937. —Dr. O'Keefe Basketball Individual Scorers Field Free Free Free Personal Total Games Name— Goal Throws Throws Throws Fouls Points Played Attempted Made Missed Pyle 66 54 32 22 21 164 19 Webster 22 .30 14 16 17 58 19 Miller 89 91 53 38 25 231 19 Roark 18 42 21 21 16 57 19 Shinn 8 29 13 16 25 29 19 AVERAGE POINTS PER GAME BLACKHAWK CONFERENCE STANDING Pyle 8.6 Won Lost Pc’t.

They suffered only three defeats throughout the 19 games competed in. Toulon received third place trophy in the Holiday Tournament. The Black Hawk Conference ended when the locals downed Galva, which was the first time for Toulon to win the Black Hawk Championship. They are also the first team in league competition to win all of their games which they played in the league. The season ended when they were eliminated in the first round of the District Tournament at Elmwood.

Librarians, under the direction of Miss Barton, are faithful workers in our Toulon High School Library. Miss Fisher assists Miss Barton, who aids the pupils in selection of proper reading material. Each day all the books are arranged alphabetically in order of their classification. Every Librarian is assigned one period to take charge of each day. Books are checked out for a period of two weeks; when the two weeks are up, two cents is charged for each day following. These fines are used for the binding of old books and the purchase of new ones. We are proud to know that we have a very modern and up-to-date Library in our school, and it certainly is appreciated by both the faculty and the students. i SNAPS 1. Fishing for a new record” 2.

Along the street there conies A clatter of heels like rattling drums, a thrashing noise like a mad hurricane; They’re walking to school, Durnin and Main. Now traveling a slower, steady pace, We see Miss Butcher and Miss Chase, They take their time and laugh and talk As they come sweeping down the walk. Mr. Castle rubs his sleepy eyes, And then puts on his glasses wise; He arrives at eight-fifteen— The most punctual man we've ever seen. Miss Fisher's glee club meets at eight, But if she’s there, the boys are late; Wyckoff comes just as he pleases, And leaps the stairs like wild March breezes. Now comes Metzger in his Ford V-8, With his hat pulled down and his back held straight. How Wilkins gets here, no one knows, But every day he comes ana goes; And so does Barton, strange to say, Yet she’s never in the way. Now that’s the story, as a rule. Of how the teachers get to school. —Robert Leigh Cured: Miss Butcher and Miss Chase of riding up town with Mr. Wyckoff, especially on icy streets. A young couple, driving down Main Street the other evening in a Chevrolet coach, were quite alarmed when Bert Smith yelled, Say, why don’t you use both hands there? Mickey calmly replied, I can’t, I have to drive with one.” Alice B.: My mother said she thought nothing of studying five hours a night. Mary Ann: I don’t think much of it either. Dave M.: I just traded in my sax on a new car. Warren W.: I didn’t know they accepted things like that on autos. Dave: Well, this was an exception. The buyer happened to be Lester Pierson, my close neighbor. Mr. Metzger, being slightly absent-minded, forgot about his new baby tor a minute or two the day he came back after her birth. His manual training class greeted him with loud congratulations. Mr. Metzger, who could think of nothing to be congratulated about, except some basketball plays his wife had worked out for him, modestly replied, I had nothing to do with it whatsoever.” But that’s not as bad as the day when Mr. Wyckoff, while lecturing to the biology class on the characteristics of frogs, reached into his desk and pulled out a greasy sandwich. Perplexed, he meditated for a moment, then remarked, That’s funny, I remember distinctly of having eaten my lunch.” Mr. Wilkins: Where do boys go who go fishing on Sunday? Roger W.: Over to the deep hole on McRell’s farm. Leon: How come you’re scratching your head, Vernon ? Vernon: Because no one else knows where it itches. Mr. Wyckoff: When two bodies come together is heat generated ? Bob Addis: Not always; the other night I got Knocked cold. Bob Goodwin: What makes that red spot on your nose? Carl Green: Glasses. Bob: Glasses of what? Hazel Stambaugh was looking through her Physics book when she came upon the picture of an eye with all the parts labeled. She studied it a minute and when she saw the part labeled pupil,” she remarked, Hm, I wonder where the teacher is.” Wayne A.: (driving along the highway) That must be Miss Butcher up ahead. Dorothy Brian: What makes you think so? Wayne: She seems pretty stubborn about letting me pass. Miss Fisher: What’s a dissenter, Robert Bruning? Dutch: I suppose it’s the center of something.

He took in every game and on rare occasions he could even tell you who won the game and what the score was. After a very important game which our team lost, Percy graciously asked me to spend the night at his house. Now I had heard of a peculiar trait of Percy’s, that he talked in his sleep after every football game, but I was willing to risk it as Percy's mother was a very accomplished cook. That night Percy was in true form; he talked about every thing that happened during the day, but the most important which I will attempt to relate to you is his narration about the football game. Quote: Oh, those guys are terrible. I could do better'n that! Boy, look at that blonde I see over there; ain't she a pip? I'll have to look into this. My golly, what’s the matter of the coach, takin' out our best player? You say his leg is broken? Yeah, that's the way of some guys —they can’t take it. Dearie me, it’s getting rather cold out here, I guess Mater was right when she told me to wear overshoes. Boy, look at their cheer leader, is she ever a darb! What’s that gun for? The game’s over? Who won? They did? Oh, well I can easily see why with a cheer leader like they had.” At this time Percy broke into a sleep accompanied by a long, peaceful snore which was very soothing to me indeed. I then went to sleep thinking that too many of our football fans are afflicted with this so contagious disease—Cheer leader fever. David Miller English III, 1936-1937 TROJAN MARCH Eleven men with hearts on fire, Plunge down the field with one desire: To win the game in a fighting way, And do their best on every play. Come on, you crashing Toulon Trojans Go in and tight to win that game. You’re fighting for the fame of Toulon And all the glory of her name. All Toulon High School stands behind you, So do your best on every play. Come on and fight, you Toulon Trojans; Win that game today. —Robert Leigh SNAPS 1. ’Bob Shinn—guard 2.

Some like ham; some like bacon, But I despise having my picture taken. Next I start to cross my knees, And the photographer says, Hold still, please.” Then says he, There’s a kink in your nose, Have you sometime had it froze?” Then again he says, Hold still, Please.” No,” says I, I’ve got to sneeze.” Well, at last he gets my pose; How it’ll look, nobody knows. Some like ham; some like bacon, But I despise having my picture taken.” —Dorothy King $ WISH OF A BORED SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD Oh, to be a baby now And crawl upon the floor, And eat all such delightful things As a wormy apple core; Like balls and buttons, needles, pins— Who cares if they might stick? And would it ever make me mad If some things made me sick! I’d be angry, too, if Mother said, No, no, yon must not touch.” What if I should drink sister’s ink, Would it hurt me very much? But I’m afraid if I did change Into a tot again, I’d know too much to want to eat Those wooden soldier men. —Mary Ann Berfield THE SEIGE OF THE ALCAZAR 'Twos in the famous Alcazar, A grand old fort in Spain, The refugees found haven there To escape the hullets’ rain. Starving and cold they huddled there, Down in the dungeons dark, They dared not venture out again Lest a bullet find its mark. Meanwhile, around this ancient fort, The battle went fiercely on, The Loyalists battered its strong stone walls With many a deadly bomb. Up above, in the smoke-filled sky, The war planes circled tow, Dropping bombs and dealing death On the beseiged insurgents below. After a night of strife and war The guns their clamor ceased; While through the crumbling portals wide Crept a white-haired, kindly priest. He pleaded with the survivors few Of the seventeen hundred strong, Begging them to surrender then, Vowing they’d be done no wrong. To his strong plea they paid no heed; Their cause was dear to their heart, Even the women and children refused From their dear ones to part. Mean while, a Fascist army strong Was bringing aid in haste, They strived to reach their friends besieged Ere the fort was laid to waste. At last they captured the Alcazar, And saw its shell-torn walls, They dreaded to think what they might find Within its ruined halls. And, when they searched the palace o’er, Deep in a cellar room They found the survivors and the dead— The fort had been their tomb. Imprisoned and caged for two long months, The living were starving and sore, And many were found to have died for the cause, When the Alcazar seige was o’er. —Ruth Shearer SOCIETY'S SCHOOL OF SLANG You have no doubt seen the many strange advertisements in current magazines, reading Be new! Be popular! Learn the new slanguage and become the life of the party! or Slay ’em with your snappy comebacks, your selected slang.” Under the adverstisements was printed the address of a certain school in the west. Several of my acquaintances, having enrolled for their slang course offered, have written me describing the school and praising it highly. Not being educated in the newest slang, I formerly had trouble in translating their letters, but one thoughtful friend sent me a helpful Dictionary of English Slanguage.” The tuition, it seems, is extremely low, for the founder's only aim is to serve and educate the great American Public. The professors of the different departments are former students who have graduated with highest honors; the older ones however, are continually being discharged and new ones hired, in order to keep up with the latest slang and bring only the newest to the public. An important function of this school is to sift the expressions and throw away the oldest and most trite. Oh, yeah?, says you, and Okey-doke” may have been all right in their day,” says the dean, but they can’t compare with some of our modern gems. We shall honor these pioneer and early day bits of slang, however, by engraving them on plaques and hanging them in the school's Hall of Fame.” There are several departments in the college, an important one being entirely devoted to the study of quick retorts and stinging replies (Snappy Comebacks Course). In this the students practice with each other, to determine who can use the quickest and most squelching answers. This valuable course alone makes the school worth attending. Correspondence courses are also offered by the college. These are not as satisfactory as the regular school attendance, for there, among many students, the very atmosphere inspires one to become proficient in his studies. ' —Ruth Shearer English in—1936-37 A TYPICAL SMALL TOWN FAIR Treading over soggy earth, the sparse crowd half-interestedly listens and gazes upon the wonders of the Fair. They can’t afford to miss it, for in the sordid life of so small a town, little entertainment is provided. The ignorant, the foolish, the ''cock-sure,” the sluggish, the town-gossip, the card,” the belle, the shiek, all the typical small towners are gathered. Poor taste in dress is predominate, with clothes poorly cut, baggy and made of cheap materials. The garrulous winner of the best-cake prize is telling just how she added Cordova flour to the whites of duck eggs. She compels your interest by her strident voice, which penetrates to the farthest possible admirer, and, incidentally, reaches all those bored or amused, too; also by her immense feet and hands and several flabby chins. The gullible boy-leader who’s going to show ’em how to beat that wheel game,”—and does—the first of many attempts. The over-painted, gum-chewing daughter of the village store-keeper is swinging along with her trail of open-mouthed admirers, her spike heels sinking two inches into the sticky mud with every step. The lifeless, unlovely tone of the splotches of her skin seen between dabs of paint, plus the unhealthy boniness of her body suggests tuberculosis to a penetrating eye. And on goes the fair, on goes the flow of life— to what end ? It can never be known or controlled by mortal; may we not venture too deeply into the black pit of thought. —Alice Bennett English rv—7936 A FRESHMAN'S HEAD Johnny Jones, a very green freshman, claimed to have the biggest head in school and to be one of the smartest freshmen. A tew days ago, Johnny disappeared from school and it is said that he was kidnaped. The real inside facts on the case are that a group of young doctors wanted to see what Johnny had in his big head. After the head was cut off and the coat of green scraped off, they found a large oblong object in which were some rusty screws and bolts. Inside they found a large cavity labeled brains and after sending to New York City for a high-powered microscope they did manage to catch a glimpse of a little bit of gray matter, acquired in Grade School, in the bottom of the pit. Becoming very disgusted, one of the young doctors grabbed a screw driver and screwed the head on while another daubed a coat of green on it and together they fastened it to the body. The next day Johnny Jones was back at school and on his head was a large tag which read, Will examine in four more years.” —Lester Pierson THE FRESHMAN The devil fnrned and fretted, Not a spark con Id he discern; The Tonion Freshman teas on the grate, But far too green to burn. —Judy Stratton I DOUBT IT When a pair of red lips are upturned to your own, With no one to gossip about it; Would you pray for endurance to let them alone? Well, maybe you would, but I doubt it. When a sly little hand you’re permitted to seize, With a wonderful softness about it, Would you seize it, then drop it with never a squeeze? Well, maybe you would, but I doubt it. When a slim little waist is with reacts of your arms, With a wonderful plumpness about it, Would you stop to consider the right from the wrong? Well, maybe you would, but I doubt it. And if by these tricks yon may capture a heart, With a womanly sweetness about it, Would you guard it and Keep it for the rest of your life? Well, maybe you would, but I doubt it. —Judy Stratton 4 THE LIFE OF A FORD Bought at first by a man of means Whose pocketbook soon grew lean, For many repairs it took, To keep up her looks— This Ford that came out in '21 Now rattles and bangs as it onward runs. Taken next by a young farmer Who soon won a charmer. It was sold to get money With which to raise sonny— This Ford that came out in ’21 Now rattles and bangs as it onward runs. It was sold to a miner Who could afford nothing finer. He drove it a year Before he stripped a gear, Of this Ford which came out m ’21 And now rattles and bangs as it onward runs. Acquired now by a salesman Whose first name ivas Dan. He overhauled the darned thing At a cost which made the cash register ring. This Ford that came out in ’21 Now rattles and bangs as it onward runs. Purchased now by a student in school Who drove it there like a perfect fool. After four years of the hardest travel It gave out on the well-worn gravel. This Ford which came out in ’21 And rattles and bangs as it onward runs. Rescued next by a dealer in junk From where it fell in the river and was sunk. He got a new start By selling some parts Of this Ford which came out in ’21 And rattled and banged as it’d onward run. —Bill Appenheimer IN BED On spring mornings when I a-wake, Sun rays are dancing across my bed, birds are singing, everything’s lively and gay; I feel refreshed and ready to start the new born day. When I lie awake in the summer time Sweltering in my bed, I long for the snow of the winter time To cool my aching head. Then in the fall Through my window so small, 1 see the leaves so warm and brown To cover the flowers—go fluttering down. When winter arrives with frost on my pane, I snuggle down deeper and go dreaming again; For my bed is a haven from the bitter cold air, And to get up in the cold, I just wouldn’t dare. Helen Fell LIFE Life, you are such a wonder— With some you are free mid gay, With others you are tired and old, Why are you so different? You are like the prairie flower— hi bloom today—tomorrow gone.” —Virginia Hagy A WINTER SUNSET Wending my way homeward, at evening, one wintry day, I met a friend upon the way. We paused a moment and while we talked, My close attention my companion sought. He had noticed the sun setting in the western sky, Throwing its light on the clouds on high. The colors presented a wonderful array, The gold, the red, and the pink against the gray. Many times in my dreams, I recall that sight Of my friend and I standing there in delight, And watching the sun setting in the west, Displaying the colors that God has blest. —Frank McClenahan $ BALLAD Right next door—where the tall corn grows There lives a miser, whom no one knows; He’s lived next door for seven years or more, And the house needs a coat of paint—or maybe more, Some day soon, 1 do surmise, That old miser is due for a surprise; I'm going to send my old maid cousin Over to entertain him—so I can hear the fussin’. —Helen Armstrong AUTOGRAPHS We, the Tolo Staff of 1937, wish to extend our thanks to the advertisers and patrons of the school for their support in helping to produce this Tolo.
