One of the highlights of the cubs' new world was the winning of first in the Tolo stunt show with the production of Snow White and the Seven Defectives. We wore our paws bare selling tickets for the Tolo Carnival. For this we won the honor of crowning the King and Queen, John Addis and Doris White. Being rather green we hibernated for the summer instead of the usual winter and came back in the fall with our green spots miraculously vanished. At the Homecoming we Sailed Through Galva, with first prize. Also this year one of the bears, Phyllis Young, was chosen cheer leader and Tolo Queen. Our Junior year we had become old hands at this high school trade and were doing well as we received second for the Homecoming decorations. With co-operation from all members of the class we were again privileged to crown the King and Queen of the Tolo Carnival. The honors went to Carl Lehman and Dorothy Coakley. The benefits from the Bear Class Play Hobgoblin House, helped to sponsor the Junior and Senior Prom, where, for an evening we enjoyed the Hawaiian atmosphere. As Senior Bears we again won the Homecoming prize with the Path to Victory depicting loyalty to our school, team, and country. We produced High Pressure Homer and entertained a large appreciative audience. We hope to have a successful Tolo Carnival and make more imprints on the sands of time before we graduate from Toulon Township High School as the Class of '42. —Dorothy Coakley H. R. Dorsey n SENIOR PROPHECY ☆ On June 6, 1950, I attended the ceremony dedicating a statue of Robert C. Trickle, one of the foremost educators and statesmen of our time. Robert Hackwith, president of the school board of Toulon Township High School, welcomed his friends and former classmates. Following this, the President of the United States, Carl Lehman, was introduced by William Bradley Allison, President of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. In his address President Lehman told of the efforts of Congresswoman Marjorie Nicholson and himself in regulating the late leave of nurses. President Lehman stated he would be unable to attend his duties of state on these evenings. After the address of the President, the audience joined in a chorus of the Trojan March” led by the prominent Metropolitan Opera star, Colette Cole, who is currently starring in last night's musical review, The Two Black Cats,” or better known as They Yowled All Night,” written by William Gilfillan. While we were singing, it started to rain and the crowd scrambled for shelter. The nearest place was Rollin Rice's hot dog stand. Sitting at the table next to me were Johnny Turnbull and Doris White, whose romance is the only one which seemed to have lasted from school days. By that time the waiter had arrived to take my order. To my great surprise it was Malcolm Briggs, who asked what I wanted. When he discovered who I was he related to me the sad fate of Margaret Chase, who only the day before had developed such a terrible case of dish pan hands that she had to be placed in the care of Dr. Donald Frail, famous dish pan hand” specialist. He also told me that the new cook was Wallace Smith, who was a former employee of H. R. Dorsey's Better Barn and Basement Builders, Inc. With that he left to fill my order. While waiting for my order I noticed the Gelvin's Gazette.” Glancing over the society page I noticed that millionaire Haydn Murray had purchased his third new car within a year because of several minor mishaps to his other cars. After eating lunch I decided to visit Haydn Murray. I drove to his estate and upon ringing the door bell it was answered by his dignified butler, Murray Jackson. He showed me to the study and asked me to be seated. As I sat waiting for Mr. Murray I was disturbed by a rustling behind me. Looking about the room to find the noise I discovered it to be Phyllis Young, now Mr. Murray's secretary. It seems that Phyllis was searching for a lost diamond of Mr. Murray's. Phyllis told me that Hazel Cobb, who was so active in the Bundles for Britain campaign in '42, was now collecting rag dolls for the orphans. SENIOR PROPHECY—(Continued) I left the house and had driven about three blocks, when I was ordered to pull over to the curb by traffic cop Bob Wilson, who told me I had been exceeding the speed limit of fifteen miles per hour. He reminded me that his pet peeve in school was fast driving. I argued, but it was all in vain. He gave me a summons ordering me to appear in traffic court the next morning before Judge Dale Fox. Driving on I suddenly remembered that my car needed a grease job, therefore I pulled into Merton Lee's Super Service gas station. While my car was being greased, I decided to do some shopping. My first stop was at the Public Library. Ted Mock and Dwain Duncan, the librarians, were trying to enforce the rule of quietness, but without success, because Mildred Flanagan, Doris Hall, Blanche McCulloch, and Catherine Linker were doing research work for Dr. Kenneth Witte, Q. P. D. I noticed one striking improvement. A soda fountain had been installed and Phyllis Nelson, the waitress, was busily jerking sodas. I selected the book “A Day in Toulon, by Maxine Talbert and walked out. I walked down town to Dorothy Dennis' department store. At the sports goods counter Dorothy Coakley was showing Johnny Addis some football outfits. He proudly informed me he was purchasing them for his team. He is the coach of the brawny “Pocahontas Indians. That's the Indian blood in him! While waiting for Johnny, I noticed the floorwalker coming toward me. I soon recognized her as Marjorie Walker. What a coincidence! Marjorie told me that Dorothy Hotz had won national fame as the world's greatest tennis player. Her last and final game to be with Jackson, as she is giving up her profession to be married. As Johnny finished shopping he told me about four of his old schoolmates who are now in the army. Don Messersmith is now on permanent K. P. for taking A. W. O. L. to skate outside the barrack walls. Frank Wetzel has acquired many medals for testing dive bombers in his spare time. Bob Duncan plays taps every night and on Sundays for a special feature George Jones, that second Gene Krupa, gives a drum solo. While walking to the garage, Johnny related the following bits of gossip: Morris Hogate is now professor of English in one of Peoria's largest high schools. It so happens that Sigridmae Swaney is the Physical Education teacher in that same school. Darwin Reed has proved himself to be a very successful inventor. His latest patent is a specially designed reflector for headlights and taillights on all corn-pickers. Mary Martin is now the sole owner of Mary Martin's Merchandise Mart located on Main Street in Toulon. Betty Duncan owns a very select ranch out in Texas known as Duncan's Dandy Dude Ranch. Many famous people spend their vacations there, among whom perhaps the most well-known is Robert Reed, the celebrated poet. He feels that he obtains “local color for his writings from the beautiful scenery. Johnny also told me that Iris Bates has been elected Democratic chairman of the Stark County precinct. By the time Johnny had related this latest news, my car was greased and I left dear old Toulon very much enlighted!

Hhy htS Miuny JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1939, forty-five inexperienced young bear cubs, still under their mothers' care, waddled cautiously into a cave of unexplored knowledge. The cave was none other than good old T. T. H. S. The older, more experienced bears entertained us with a romping party which opened our eyes to the social events of our new life. The three cubs who led us through our first section of the cave were Dean Young; Marjorie Porter, and Betty Jane Hicks. They were assisted by Miss Holland, Mr. Beier, and Mr. Metzger. We wore our claws dull and blunt selling tickets and successfully elected Dean Young, Tolo King. After three months of hibernation we returned to the same old haunt; this time led oy Miss Nesbit and Mr. Beier. Lee Turnbull, Nathan Lester and Frances Mock were chosen by the overgrown bear cubs to victoriously lead us through our second year in the cave of knowledge. Another very important cub was Marjorie Porter who was chosen cheer leader. After another period of hibernation we returned to the old, but familiar study haunt. By this time we were more advanced, both physically and mentally. You would never realize that just two years ago we could have been so green. We are eagerly anticipating and planning our most important social event, the Junior-Senior Prom, which is to be held later in the spring. As we journey into our Senior year, we hope to be as happy and frolicsome as in our cub days and at the end of this year we will be full fledged bears and on the trail of prosperity and success. 2 J BETTY JANE HICKS jim McManus SOPHOMORE HISTORY In the calendar year ol 1940-41, fifty-four wee little bears entered T. T. H. S. with their fuzz slicked down but their minds keen and alert. At first the Junior and Senior bears growled at us and ruffled our lovely coiffeurs. With the help of our sponsors, Mr. Patton, Miss Schmiedeskamp, and Mr. Metzger, we chose our class officers, John McWilliam, president; Ross Gilfillan, vice president; and June Cover, secretary. We soon came out of temporary hibernation and went to work as all good little bears should. We showed our ability by taking first and second place with our Homecoming decoration and Tolo stunt respectively. We elected June Cover to lead us in our growjs. % Our second year we elected Arnold House, president; Charles Smth, vice president; Winston Murray, secretary and treasurer; and Melvin Hotz, reporter. We were assisted in our aims by Miss Skelley and Mr. Patton. We showed our social abilities by electing two more cheer-leaders, Ruby DeBord and Donald Heaton. We didn't do so well in the Homecoming decorations but plan to make up for it in the future. Many boys from our class are participants in the major sports and show possibilities of becoming good athletes. ROSS GILFILLAN RUBY DE BORD ☆ FRESHMAN HISTORY On September 1, 1941, a group of green young cubs thought they would leave their dens in the woods surrounding Toulon and enter the city of learning, Toulon Township High School. The first big event was the initiation party given to us by the senior bears. Naturally our first thought after the initiation was to choose four young cubs to keep us away from any traps along the way. We chose Robert Grieve, president; Gwendolyn Caverly, vice president; Jane Trimmer, secretary; and Marilee Porter, treasurer. With Mr. Metzger, Mr. Fairchild, and Miss Schmiedeskamp carefully watching our trails we are kept on the right track and do not loiter along the wayside. Many of our cubs are proving themselves bears on the gridiron and some have also shown their artistic talent by winning second prize with decorations in the gym for Homecoming. We have proved to be one of the hardiest bunches of cubs ever to leave their dens in the woods and venture on the road to learning.

This 42-piece marching organization, under the direction of Clarence P. Patterson, also took part in the Byerly Bros. Music Co. Annual Band Festival in Peoria and the Western Illinois State Teachers College Band Festival in Macomb during the fall season Six drum majorettes led the band in their marching formations during the football season and in the parades at Peoria and Macomb. They were: Kathryn Appenheimer, Dorothy Baker, Ruby DeBord, Dorothy Hotz, Sigridmae Swaney and Julia Harper. Over one hundred students are enrolled in instrumental work. The band also played for all of the home basketball games and for the American Legion's Armistice Day program on the courthouse lawn. Five soloists and two ensembles from the band entered the district contest at Galesburg on February 21. Two of the soloists and one ensemble won first division honors. Rollin Rice on Sousa-phone and Joyce O'Keefe on Alto Saxophone placed first as did the Flute ensemble composed of Jane Cover, Margaret Chase and John Robert McWilliam, with Mrs. Herbert Murray as accompanist.

OPERETTA On November 4, the glee clubs, under the direction of Mr. Patterson, presented the operetta, An Old Kentucky Garden. The operetta was greatly enjoyed, both by the audience, who liked the colorful costumes and familiar Stephen Foster music, and by the cast and choruses, who had a lot of fun putting it on. Those in the cast were: Colonel Staunton (Frank Wetzel); Jeanie, his niece (Joanne Wallace); Philip, his nephew (Winston Murray); Richard, Philip's roommate (Bill Allison); Joy, Philip's fiancee (Colette Cole); Hannah, a wealthy widow (Iris Bates); Henry Blow, a prospector (John Addis); Stephen C. Foster (Haydn Murray); Majundar, a hindy magician (George Jones); Joe Buzzard, a money lender (James McManus); Mr. Moneyfold and Mr. Artichoke, music publishers (Carl Lehman and Wallace Smith); Elmina, William, Seth, Andrew, Adaliza, friends of the Stauntons (Dorothy Hotz, Sherman White, Melvin Hotz. Gregory Rice. Jeanne Gelvin); Dick, Harry, and Tom, plantation singers (Lee Porter, John Cover, and Russell Smith). Based on the works of Stephen Foster, the operetta took place in the Kentucky garden of Colonel Staunton. Philip's room-mate from the North, Richard, came for a visit and fell in love with Jeanie. The Colonel objected to Richard's interest in Jeanie and ordered him to leave the next morning,.not knowing that Richard had saved Philip by loaning him $500. That night Jeanie's birthday gift, a rare ruby, was stolen by the magician, and Richard went after him. On the following day Richard returned with the ruby, thus gaining the Colonel's respect and approval as Jeanie's suitor.

Mother Woodruff (Iris Bates) never missed a funeral and always found them so stimulating while Father Woodruff (Haydn Murray) never missed a fire. Junior (Bill Allison), who usually had his rifle with him, always tried to fix things but very seldom succeeded. Boots (Dorothy Jean Hotz), who aspired to be an actress, rehearsed at the most inopportune times. Amidst much confusion Aunt Cora (Hazel Cobb) arrived with her pet hen which to her sorrow she discovered was a rooster. Wade Wainwright (Morris Hogate) temporarily won Arlene, (Margaret Chase) from Homer Hampton Haywood (Frank Wetzel). Homer, who always knew more than the boss and never kept a position or worried about it, had a few tricks up his sleeve, and he won Arlene back. Other members of the cast were Mrs. Taylor, (Dorothy Coakley) who loved to visit, and her daughter Bunny, (Colette Cole). Chetwynde Cluett (John Addis) was always happiest when those around him were happy. Zenith, the maid, (Dorothy Dennis) tried to get out of. any possible work. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY On March 20, 1942, a three-act farce-comedy, Ready-Made Family by Jay Tobias, was given by the Juniors under the direction of Miss Sears to a large and appreciative audience. Mrs. Agnes Martyn and Henry Turner wire their respective children that they are planning to be married. Their offspring do not approve of the marriage; consequently, Bob, Gracie, and Marilee Martyn, and Doris and Sammie Turner set out to make life miserable for the opposite prospective parent. The parents have already been married so the children's efforts are to no avail. The children find that they like one another, with the result that they are a happy ready-made family.

Forty-five members enrolled this year at the first meeting, and of these members, the following were chosen as officers: Ruth Hedges, presides Mildred Flanagan, vice president; Charlotte Welch, secretary; Eileen Heaton, treasurer, and Dorothy Coakley, reporter. We have participated in various activities this year. The first was the Home Economics rally held at Roseville, Illinois. Eight members were elected to represent the Toulon Club at the rally. An initiation ceremony was given by the retiring and incoming officers for the new members. Other activities are: the serving of the Athletic Banquet, a Christmas party, and the preparing and serving of the F. F. A. Banquet. The January meeting was in form of a luncheon. At this meeting Mrs. Harvey Price gave an interesting talk on her trip to Mexico. We have yet to enjoy a Mother and Daughter Banquet, to be served by the F. F. A. boys. F. F. A. The Future Farmers began this year with the election of John Turnbull, president; Murray Jackson, vice president; H. R. Dorsey, secretary; Wallace Smith, treasurer, David Newman, reporter; and Gene Harvey, sergeant-at-arms. We attempted to hold at least one evening meeting each month but with the many other activities of the school it became increasingly difficult to achieve this goal. In September Wayne Gilbert, Stark County Farm Adviser, talked to us on ‘'Leadership.” In October we enjoyed a date party. In November we took a trip to Chicago where we visited the International Livestock Show and various places of interest in the city. In December we had Family Night” when we enjoyed a pot luck supper with our folks. Marion Low was the speaker and this was followed by a movie The Green Hand.” During the spring we shall hold our Parent and Son Banquet, Judging Contests, and Public Speaking Contests. The high light of the year was the Officers' Leadership School, held at Wyoming, September 30. At this meeting the officers of the Toulon chapter initiated the members of the Kama chapter which is a new one to be added to the section this year. G. A. A. In 1941-42 the G. A. A. had an enrollment of about twenty-five members; Miss Merk was the sponsor for the first semester and Miss Skelley the second semester. The officers for the year of 1941-42 were: Marjorie Porter, president; Doris White, vice president; Catherine Linker, secretary and treasurer. The first outing for the G. A. A. members was the wiener roast on September 20, with the freshmen girls as guests. As yet no arrangements have been made for the annual trip, which is usually the highlight of the year for the G. A. A. members. •n HOME EC. CLUB Front Row—Miss White, Margaret Fisher, Dorothy Coakley, Eileen Heaton, Charlotte Welch, Ruth Hedges, Mildred Flanagan, Virginia Heaton, Ardis Armstrong.

When an air raid siren sounds, don't put out your lights. What are you, a man or a mouse? 2. Telephone your friends. Invite them over to your roof top to see the bombardment. Why not? We all like Fourth of July fireworks and an air raid should be twice as good. 3. As soon as bombs start dropping, run like h--. (It doesn't matter where, as long as you run like h---.) 4. Take advantage of opportunities afforded you when air raid siren sounds. For example: (A) if in a bakery, grab some bread (B) if in a tavern, grab a bottle (C) if in a movie, grab a blonde 5. If you find an unexploded bomb, always pick it up and shake it—the firing pin may be stuck. 6. If it doesn't work, heave it in the furnace. (The Fire Department will come later to take care of things.) 7. If an incendiary bomb is found burning, throw some gasoline on it. You can't put it out anyway, so you might as well have some fun. (If no gasoline is available, throw a bucket of water on it, then lie down—you're dead.) _ 8. Always get excited and holler bloody murder. It will add to the fun and confusion and scare the kids. 9. Drink heavily. Eat onions, limburger cheeses, etc., before entering a crowded air raid shelter. This will make you unpopular (in a stinking sort of way) with the crowd in your immediate vicinity, eliminating any unnecessary discomfort that would result if people crowded too closely together. 10. If you should be the victim of a direct bomb hit, don't go to pieces. Lie still and be shoveled up later. 11. Knock the air raid wardens down if they start to tell you what to do, because they're probably politicians and save the safest spots for themselves and friends anyway. —Courtesy Citizens Destruction Committee. ☆ ☆ ANIMAL CRACKERS The termite's nightmare: I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls. ☆ ☆ Two kittens were at the tennis matches.

These boys will grow a lot and should develop into a good team. A VIEW OF THE SPORTS FOR THE YEAR The cheerleaders ol T. T. H. S. had the opportunity to see many excellent games this year, both on the gridiron and basketball court. They saw the kind of playing that they enjoy—games showing sportsmanship, fight and team spirit. We feel we know our players well, and we sincerely believe that each of them possesses these qualities. When some of the team members received special honors, we were as happy as we could be. We were justly proud when John Addis as left halfback and Bob Duncan as right guard made the Blackhawk all-star football team. These were only a beginning for they placed John Turnbull as a guard, Dar Reed as tackle, and Bud Briggs as end on the Blackhawk second team. Two more Trojans, the Murray brothers, Haydn and Winston, received honorable mention. The cheerleaders were elated over all this, but when Bob Duncan and John Addis received honorable mention on the all-state football team for guard and halfback respectively, we really cheered and strutted around as if we had won the honors. We also obtained our share of thrills at basketball games this season with all those one point above the other team victories. When the score became close, we were certainly glad to see Addis, Murray, or Briggs drop in a neat basket. We always breathed a sigh of relief when Dorsey, Wetzel, or Allison came out from under the basket with the ball because then we knew we were going to get another shot at the basket and probably raise the score two points. The boys did well with those free throws, which always helped us to eke out a victory. The second team also played some exciting games, and from them we expect many victories during the 1942-3 season. While it is too early to know the outcome of any track events, we know that the Fighting Trojans will win their laurels in this, too, for they have the fight and spirit that it takes to make a team a winning one. Let's all together give three cheers for the Trojans — Rah! Rah! Rah!
