S. A. in 1950. I thought that perhaps you folks out in Boom Town, Utah, might like to know how the rest of the class of '41 has turned out. I just returned from the opera Frenesi” in which Doris Chambers is starring. You knew her as Doris Chamberlain. When she sang Dear Lord and Father of Mankind,” she really gave! They say Milan Berfield has been Chase-ing after a new kind of butterfly to add to his already large collection. Mother recently sent me a copy of The Stark County New's.” I learned that Jean McManus has accepted the position as teacher in a kindergarten in Jackson-villa. Sam King, test driver for Donald Hedges Motor Co., of Toulon, is convalescing in Kewanee Public Hospital, after the testing of Mr. Hedges latest invention. Mr. King said, It is definitely not a success. I also saw by the paper that Senator Dale Eckley of Illinois gave a fine speech in the Senate at Washington on Should We Attempt to Conquer Asia and Europe or Should We? You remember he was quite an orator in old T. T. H. S. We have decided to send our daughter Pansy to Mt. Holyoke, a girls college of which Quentin House is President. You remember he always got along with the girls quite well. He has a system there. To the Freshmen he is a father, to the Sophomores a brother, but when it comes to the Juniors and Seniors it's every man for himself! Have you read Miss Patricia Cover’s latest book. All About National Defense?” It has just come off the press and is said to be very authentic. Speaking of National Defense, that reminds me, Robert Swango is sergeant of Throop M” in the army. My brother recently sent me the new best-seller, Lost Souls” by Louise Hand and Verna Fickling. The authors have decided to collaborate on a sequel, Lost Heels. Surely, you’ve heard Joe Steimle, master of ceremonies of the Sweet Meats” program. I always knew he was a ham! Have you ever gone to one of the Dr. Lehman series of films? The latest one is. Dr. Lehman Finds Out, in which Marcine Murchison is the leading lady. In this movie Marcine has finally achieved her ambition to be a nurse. Another person from Toulon that has made good in the movies is Donald Blakey. He has taken the place of Gene Autry and receives twice as much fan mail as Autry ever did. The girls can’t resist his guitar playing and accompaniment with vocal chords. Mary Creel has just opened a Varsity and Ring Shop. Oh, you remember Mary Creel, the girl who never had a varsity letter or class ring in her life. As I went past her shop, she was sitting in the corner making herself a dress trimmed with varsity letters and studded with class rings. You asked me whether I knew what became of Helen Chapman and Helen DeBord. Helen DeBord and Ar'ene Eckley are making their living as aerialists in the Bungling Bros, circus. I always said, There's nothing like high flying. 9 Helen Chapman went with Ruth Turnbull out to Hawaii where they have quite a profitable-profession teaching the natives to make grass skirts. Speaking of traveling Robert Dustin is touring Africa lecturing to the natives on How to Keep Young.” All of the class of 41 remained bachelors and old maids' except Amandolyn Masonic, who gave up her career in the circus to get married. She is still known to her public as the Mighty Masonic.” You could well understand how' she acquired this name if you had ever seen her in her act wrestling with two lions and a tiger, with one hand tied behind her back. The Seniors of ’41 make me think how' the intelligence of students has degenerated since we were in school, for instance James Reed, famous professor of Orthography, said today that he couldn't understand why his students made such low grades, for he was sure he taught them all he knew about it. In our day it was different because Doris Coakley has gone on and on and for that matter is still going on, in Math. Last Sunday 1 heard the most up-lifting sermon on The Religious Phases of College Life” by the Rev. Dean Pyle. You remember what an earnest, sincere boy he w'as back in T. T. H. S. This is rather like going from the sublime to the ridiculous, but last Thursday evening Rudolph and I had dinner in that swanky night club Duck-In, Waddle Out.” It is so exclusive that they have two hostesses, who are really charming! When I saw those two stunning ladies coming toward us in pink and orange striped satin evening gowns, I was surprised and pleased to find that they were none other than Marguerite Creasey and Dorothy McCans. The orchestra was simply too-too! The famous orchestra leader, Juanita Ara, better known to you as Juanita Appenheimer, was there with her orchestra. The bass clarinet seems to have all the solos in her band. As a special attraction, the club held a jitterbug contest. The Giving Jitterbugs of Toulon” won, and guess who! They were your old friends, John McRell and Bettye Screeton! I see that they are beginning to show' the new spring styles. 1 usually buy all of my clothes at the Eye, Try, and Walk Away Shoppe on Fifth Avenue. The owners are Ramona Wallace and Maxine Durbin. I like to stop and visit with them when 1 go shopping. Tomorrow I'm planning to see Robert Gaunt, that debonair darling of M. G. G., in the current hit, Another Lean Man Returns. You will remember him as Bob Schmidt. I received a post card from Dr. Lester Silliman after he went to the Gravy Bowl football game. He said—quote, Those drum majorettes can t begin to compare w ith those of Toulon,” —unquote. Now let me see, w'hom have I left out? Oh! Roberta Pendarvis, Lois Marshall, Doris Cobb, June Berghtold, and Elaine Beamer. 1 believe that's all. Well, Roberta and June have become a famous adagio dancing team. They came back from Europe a month ago where they danced for Hitler. Now I know why Germany lost the war. Doris is manager of the Super-Bargain Chain Store. This week she is featuring Chase-Cheese which has just been patented. The patent number is 207. Lois Marshall and Elaine Beamer have resigned to a life of peace and quiet. This finishes my account of the Senior Class of '41. The members of the class have my best wishes for continued success. As the criminal said as he was about to be hanged, “This is the end.” —MRS. YEHUDI. 0 Written by: Hazel Cobb Iris Bates Dorothy Dennis CLASS WILL (1940-1941) We, the members of the Senior Class of '41 being reasonably firm of body and sound of mind, do hereby declare this manuscript to be our last will and testament.

I ’iPcineAfurc u indent Se inu JUniOR CLASS HISTORY In 1938 sixty pair of bright and shining green shoes started wading through Toulon Township High School. The first year they wrere successfully led by Miss Main, Mr. Beier, and Coach Metzger. Carl Lehman, John Addis, Hazel Cobb, and Frank Wetzel in their respective orders led the young and innocent wedgies through their first year. Our many pairs of shoes won great honors. We wore our soles thin selling tickets for the Tolo Carnival. We were rewarded by being allowed to choose the King and Queen, Doris White and John Addis, and receiving first on the Tolo Stunt Snow' White and the Seven Defectives.” We returned to T. T. H. S. in the autumn of ’39 and 48 of us saddled our responsibilities with more ease than last year. We selected John Addis, Doris White, Darw'in Reed, and Merton Welch as officers and Miss Main and Mr. Patton were our sponsors. One of our bright and shiny pairs of shoes, Phyllis Young, was chosen as a cheer leader. By the time we had finished our float Sailing Through Galva for the Home-coming parade, with which we won first, our shiny shoes were dusty and muddy. Our Tolo Stunt won first and we were also privileged to crown the Queen, Phyllis Young. In 1940 fifty-three pairs of slightly scuffed shoes entered dear old Toulon High.” We chose Haydn Murray, Phyllis Young, John Addis, and Bill Allison to keep us going as before, on as high a platform as possible. Miss White, Miss Scars, and Mr. Patterson are our sponsors. Our class w’on second prize this year for gym decoration at Home-coming. Through the co-operation of all the class members we were privileged to crown Carl Lehman and Dorothy Coakley as King and Queen of the Tolo Carnival. We are just beginning to make plans for the Prom which will be given later in the spring. We hope it will be a great affair, where everyone may dance to his heart's content in his dainty little dancing shoes. We anticipate finishing this year with our laces tied securely.

SOPHOMORE CLASS FRESHMAN CLASS SOPHOmORG HISTORY In 1938, a group of forty-five tacks entered T. T. H. S. contributing to the great shoe of knowledge. We green soles (souls) wandered up and down the halls looking for the right eyelets (classrooms). After a week of school we managed to find our way around quite as well as the Seniors. The tops (Seniors) entertained us at a party and we tried our hand at dancing. We proved our ability as good salesmen by selling the most stunt tickets and electing Dean Young Tolo King. We were ably led by Miss Holland, Mr. Metzger, and Mr. Beier. Our officers were Dean Young, Marjorie Porter, and Betty Jane Hicks. In 1940, we returned resolved to a much higher goal than we had previously attained. This year Lee Turnbull, Nathan Lester, and Frances Mock were chosen as officers of our class of 44. Miss Nesbit and Mr. Beier are our class sponsors. Although we failed to obtain prizes for the homecoming decoration or Tolo stunt, we shall try that much harder next year to resole our rather worn shoes. Several sophomore boys participated in athletics while the girls were active in clubs and organizations. We are anticipating a very successful year as juniors. RUTH HEDGES ROSETTA MacINTOSH j FRGSHfTlAn CLASS HISTORY On the second day of September, 1940, fifty-four pairs of shoes entered the workshop of Toulon Township High School. Perhaps our heels were a little bit too high because for the first time in our history we seemed a misfit, and also during the first few days our toes were constantly being stepped on by our elders. After much patient effort on the part of the master craftsmen and seemingly too many painful alterations, we emerged from the toils and strife of such life with quite stylish appearing feet. John Robert McWilliam, Ross Gillfillan, and June Cover led us over the rough places. For the homecoming we really knotted our shoestrings and won the first prize for the best decorated section of the gymnasium. The road to a successful stunt was a bit more dusty. Upon polishing our shoes after the long trek over rock-strewn ground, we found that we had won second place. That not only restored our sales, but also our tongues. Through the guidance and help of our sponsors. Miss Schmiedeskamp, Mr. Metzger, and Mr. Patton, we succeeded in removing these and other tacks picked up in the course of our year’s journey. Our shoes are a bit scuffed, and if one looked more carefully he might find a rent in the leather, but we intend to profit by every single scratch and perhaps next year we may really show our feet with a great deal of pride.

The purpose of the club is to form a connecting link between the home and the school. At the first meeting held this year fifty-nine members enrolled. Of these members the following were chosen as officers: Irene Mock, president; Frances Mock, vice president; Ruth Hedges, secretary; Dorothy Coakley, treasurer; and Helen DeBord, reporter. Miss White is our sponsor. At the second meeting an initiation cereomny was given for the new members. We have participated in many activities of various kinds. We served the Athletic banquet and prepared and served the F. F. A. banquet. The Home Economics II girls prepared and served dinner to the high school board of education and faculty. We also made the victory flag and cut out the stoles for the music department. The first annual Home Economics Club Rally was held in Kewanee. Our club contributed a dialogue ' State Fair Style Show by Eileen Heaton and Dorothy Coakley. Miss Clara M. Spark, State Supervisor of the Vocational Home Economics Education gave a talk. Everyone enjoyed the interesting program, sack lunch, and mixer. Social activities of the year include a movie at the local theatre followed by a snack at Miss White's, a Valentine party, and a skating party with the F. F. A. boys at the Wyoming rink. We have yet to enjoy a mother and daughter banquet with the F. F. A. boys serving, a May party, and a June picnic. 2 F. F. A. The Future Farmers of America, more familiarly known as the F. F. A., is a school organization which has as its principal objective the training of boys to become more competent farmers. When school opened, many boys were anxious to begin the school year w'ith its studies and varied activities. Mr. Patton, Malcolm Briggs, and Robert Dustin represented our chapter at the sectional meeting held in Bradford. Malcolm Briggs and Robert Dustin wxre selected to represent the Toulon Chapter at the F. F. A. Leadership School held in Springfield, in September, but because the date conflicted with our high school activities, they could not attend. The highligst of our regular meetings have been talks by Reverend Anderson and Reverend Jackson, and a movie sponsored by Dr. Donaldson's Feed Company. The annual F. F. A. banquet wras held in March. The F. F. A. boys and girls in the Home Ec. Culb had a skating party which proved to be a very pleasant event. On April 23, our F. F. A. chapter was host to the Poultry and Dairy Judging Contest. The Ohio chapter held the Grain and Fat Stock contest on May 3. Winning teams will have the privilege of going to the State Judging Contest held at the University of Illinois. When school closes, the work of the F. F. A. boy has just begun for his projects are now going to demand much of his time. His work is supervised throughout the summer by Mr. Patton, who makes personal calls to the boys' homes. The F. F. A. work is very interesting and helpful, and every boy w'ho is interested in the farm should avail himself of its work. 3 HOME EC. CLUB Front Row—Jean Carter, Virginia Heaton. Dorothy Coakley.

Larry Elliott, a young broker, thinking he has become guardian to a small boy, is jolted to find he has taken a pretty seventeen-year-old girl named Charlotte, but called Charlie.” She is accompanied by her uncle, Aleck Twiggs, like herself, a true product of the Ozarks. Charlie calls Larry Pappy, and displays artless warm affection. This was resented by his Aunt Fanny and his fiance Vivian Smythe-Kersey. Farcial situations develop from the social blunders of the new arrivals. To save Larry from an uncomfortable situation, the pair departs, to return months later entirely different. Charlie becomes the glorious Charlotte, who flutters all masculine hearts. The happy ending comes when Charlie and Larry are to be married w'ith everyone's consent.

Miss Priscilla Carter, who is much disgruntled because her two nieces have fallen in love with two silly young nincompoops purchases the grim old Hobgood House in the foothills of the Ozarks. This she believes to be a safe retreat where the girls can not sec their lovers for at least six months. They arrive at the old house on the same night as old Bluebeard Bronson, who once committed a murder there and revisits the scene of his crime. The occurrence of such mysterious incidents as a screaming skull, a headless phantom, wailing bells, and hanging heads kept the audience in suspense until the curtain was drawn on the last act.

This year the mothers w'ere entertained at a buffet dinner. The dinner was prepared by the Home Ec. girls and served by the F. F. A. boys. The program consisted of various readings and musical numbers, the speaker of the evening was Mrs. Roy Walker of Kewanee, a former teacher of Toulon High School. About 100 mothers, daughters, and grandmothers attended in addition to numerous other guests, including wives of the members of the Board of Education and Faculty, and women teachers. G. A. A. With the beginning of the 19 10 1941 school term, there were sixty members enrolled in the G. A. A., with Miss Nesbit as our sponsor. Our first meeting was called for the purpose of electing officers: Marguerite Creasey, president; Jean McManus, vice president; Dorothy Coakley, secretary; and Helen Chapman, treasurer. Marjorie Porter and Marcine Murchison were elected recorders. The first outing was a wiener roast on September 30. We started from the high school and wandered around until we found a suitable place about two miles south of town. The freshmen were our guests. On October 19, we were hostesses for the Fall Play Day. Thirteen girls represented our school. It proved to be one of the most successful Play Days in the history of the club, although all of them have been well attended and every girl was anxious to take the horor back to her school. Those schools participating in the Play Day were: Altona, Wyoming, Kewanee, Galva, Wethersfield, and Neponset. On December 10, a chili supper was enjoyed in the gym, with nearly all club members present. Before we ate, we all participated in various games. Next in line on our list of G. A. A. jaunts was a skating party held at the Rollerdrome in Wethersfield on February 2. About 35 members donned skates, but some of them spent most of their time picking themselves up from the floor. ¥ On March 10, a swimming party was enjoyed at the Kewanee 'Y. Due to the inclemency of the weather only eight girls made the trip. We are looking forward to a local Spring Play Day. Several of our girls will attend the Spring Play Day at Altona to which a number of schools have been invited. Wc plan to have another skating and swimming party in the near future. Everyone is anticipating our annual trip, for w'hich plans have not been completed, but it always proves to be one of the outstanding events of the year. 2 G. A. A. ROLL First Row—Miss Nesbit.

Sears and Quigley warned us all, But fifty points seemed plenty tall. When the first semester ends, Quigley has a lot of friends. Lehman seemed to miss his aim, But Marcine waits just the same. Wilson’s auto has to wait Because he always gets home late. Trickle worked and was dismissed; Now his name is off the list. Fox forgot about his looks And after school he’s reading books. What will they do when summer’s here? They'll be reading books we fear. Jim Reed worked hard and soon was through, So to Basket Ball he was true. Schmidt read books with points so low That yet he doesn't have his quota. Ichabod read books and labored on, And soon his liberty he won. Flanagan, well now, he's reading still, But he’ll get done, we know he will. Some finished the very first week, Then their report cards they did seek. Of all of them we cannot tell, But we hope that none will fail.

It is a verb, because it’s both passive and active. It is a conjunction because it either joins or connects, a preposition because it has an object, an interjection because it shows strong feeling, and a sentence because it expresses a complete thought. It is usually plural, in that it is hardly ever singular. It agrees with me. -o- Evolution Freshman: Mama, may I please go out for a little while tonight? Sophomore: Mother, may I go out to- night?

At last you have given me a true interpretation of my work.” Gee,” whispered Morris Hogate, that’s queer, I’ve still got two pages to play yet.” —0— In Civics class, Mr. Wetzel asked, If the president, the vice president, and all the members of the cabinet would die, who would officaite?” Quick as a flash, came the answer from Bob Swango, The undertaker.” A T H L E T I C S FOOTBALL SCORGS Walnut ..................

MILAN BERFIELD A senior whose presence will be missed. His quick thinking made his end dangerous territory for the opposition. ROBERT SWANGO Another senior whose going will leave a place in the backfield difficult to fill. ROBERT DUSTIN--A lineman who showed lots of promise. He needed more experience. LESTER SILLIMAN -He will be missed as he could be placed in the game at any time and give a good account of himself. JAMES REED A versatile player. He did his best both in the line and backfield. JOHN ADDIS (Captain-elect)—Shows plenty of promise. His ability as a ball carrier and punter made him an all Conference fullback. All he needs is a little more interference in front of him. ROBERT HACKWITH—A junior who gave a good account of himself in the line. With his size and more confidence he will be an outstanding player. HAYDN MURRAY—A little more confidence and experience will make him a really fine center. JOHN TURNBULL- Inexperienced, but determined and willing. Next season will prove his ability. ROBERT DUNCAN—An able lineman. We are confident he will stand his ground in another season. CARL LEHMAN -His three years past experience should help him gain recognition as an outstanding tackle. WALLACE SMITH His speed and agility as a runner makes him a promising back. More experience will help a lot. MALCOLM BRIGGS- More weight would help “Bud immensely as a lineman. We expect him to be a valuable man next year. CLIFFORD ALLEN Only a sophomore, but he learned much and should be a fine lineman next year. ARNOLD HOUSE “Arnie did what few freshmen do- -he earned a varsity letter his first year. Watch for him in future seasons. 6 —V. C.
