I, Vonnie Appenheimer, will my deft hands for making clothes and preparing good meals to Ardelle Jones, as I intend to be an old maid. I, Bob Campbell, will my conceit, my love for embarrassing people, my ability to see all, hear all, and tell all, to Dave Biba, I hope he does better than I have. I, Phyllis Charsky, will my handy-dandy leg razor to Tib Durbin, also my collection of oriental shaving soaps. I, John Costin, will my fine and precise ability as a good mechanic to Dean Smith so he can repair and overhaul all the many cars he has and will wreck. I, Lily Mae Dennis, will my interest in little boys (6 feet 1 inch tall) to Jo Ann Wilson, and my delight in disrupting classes and especially the study hall to Ralph Crist, so he can take over where I leave off. I, Roma Eckley, will my 376 freckles (by actual count by Dave Biba) to Eleanor Peterson so they can be a benefit to her beauty as they have to mine.

I, Richard Thompson, will my poise and graceful walk to Esther McCulloch and Audrey Gerard, for it will be of value to them in their twirling. I, Ronnie Wallace, will my slide rule, advanced algebra book, and my knowledge of these, to Doc Blakey. You'll need the latter one, I'm sure. I, Jo Ann Wilson, will my broad knowledge of English and especially of grammar, to Margie Frank so she can get come benefit out of it, as I haven't. I, Wayne Winans, will my deep mannish voice to George Eiremann as George's voice is much too high.

Good evening, sir, what is your name? I’m Daryl Harmon. Are you from out of town? No, I live here in the city, and I'm publisher of the Stark County News.

Yes, I work for Mr. Harmon. What do you do for the News? I write the lovelorn column. Do you like your work? Yes, I like it very much. Just yesterday I got a letter from three of my old classmates, JoAnn Wilson, Lily Mae Dennis, and Henrietta Winter asking advice on How to Catch a Man. Thank you, Miss Eckley. I'm sure your work is very interesting. I might come around for some advice myself. We pause now for station identification. This is station TTHS, with studios on the 34th floor of the Little Reed building. This program is brought to you through the courtesy of Nancy Little and Barbara Reed.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ☆ Forty green Baby Bonnets walked determinedly into old T. T. H. S. one bright fall day in 1945. At first we were somewhat uncertain and bewildered, but we soon became accustomed to our new environment. After initiation we became full fledged members of T. T. H. S. To give us a guiding hand were: Daryl Harmon, president; Richard Thompson, vice president; and Ruth Mercer, secretary and treasurer. We were represented in the Student Council by Phyllis House and Duane Allen. Our class sponsor, Mr. Davies, pulled us out of many a rut. Starting out on a long voyage in 1946, were thirty-six sailors boarding the T. T. H. S. battleship. When we sailed out to sea, the following officers of the ship were: Ruth Mercer, captain; Ronnie Wallace, co-captain; and Donna Kidd took care of the ship's log. Nancy Little and Joe Scoville were sent to the ship's council. Our commander-in-chief, Miss Lois Anderson, gave us assistance throughout the voyage. Thirty-three juniors came back to school in 1947. During this year we were kept busy making money to give our Junior-Senior prom with Plantation Party as our theme. Another highlight of our junior year was the presentation of the play Miss Jimmy, which proved to be a great success. To give us guidance in our work were Norma Williams, president; Phyllis House, vice president; Bob Campbell, secretary and treasurer; and Vonnie Appen-heimer, reporter. Shirley Whittaker and Joe Scoville represented our class in the Student Council. During this busy year Mrs. Ham, our sponsor, worked hard to help us make our prom one of the big events of the year. Returning in the fall of 1948 for our last year at T. T. H. S. were thirty-two little Tuffies. We elected as class officers for this year: Ronnie Wallace, president; Daryl Harmon, vice president; and Barbara Gehrt, secretary and treasurer. The Student Council representatives are Shirley Whittaker, Bob Campbell, and our president. JoAnn Wilson is the senior class reporter. Our class play “Sing for Your Supper, was presented on October 11, 1948. Lily Mae Dennis and Ronnie Wallace were crowned king and queen of the 1948 Homecoming. This year our class presented three one-act plays at the Tolo Carnival, and Barbara Reed was crowned Tolo Queen. From our class came three cheerleaders: Shirley Whittaker, Norma Williams, and Vonnie Appen-heimer. Because of the helpful guidance of our sponsor, Mr. Patterson, we have met with great success in all our attempts during our senior year. With great anxiety we are all looking forward to a wonderful trip in the spring. B. G. E. M. 7 3 JUNIOR HISTORY ☆ In the fall of '46, 44 sailors got their passports and boarded the ship T. T. H. S. For commanding officers we elected, president, Don Phillips, vice president, Nadene Porter; secretary, Bob Turner; treasurer, Ann Heaton. Jim Eadie and Dean Smith served as ship's council representatives. To represent our class at Tolo Carnival, we nominated David Biba as the candidate for king, and Esther McCulloch as the candidate for queen. Ann Heaton represented our class as cheerleader. This following fall, two of our classmates had dropped out of our numbers. To establish law and order, we elected the following for our class officers: Dave Biba as president; Mildred Birdsley as vice president; Charles Howell as secretary and treasurer. Jim Eadie and Joan Wilson were appointed to the Student Council. Our adviser was Miss Anderson. This year our candidate for king. Gene Wallace, was crowned at the dance and Mildred Birdsley was an attendant. The fall of '48 found thirty-six Tuffies returning to T. T. H. S. The officers for the year are: Nadene Porter, president; Nancy Chamberlain, vice president; and Lois Elliott, secretary and treasurer. Ralph Crist and Joan Wilson were appointed to Student Council. The candidates for the Tolo king and queen were Ralph Crist and Joyce Behnke. One of our greatest achievements for the year was the winning float in the homecoming parade. By selling cards, by sponsoring dances after the home games, and by serving the food for several organizations, the juniors have earned the money for the annual prom. Our class also earned money from the class play, Truth on a Holiday, which was a huge success. Our class sponsor is Mrs. Ham. N. P. B. T. SOPHOMORE NEWS ☆ In the fall of '47 Tuffy Toulon received thirty-seven green freshmen into class at T. T. H. S. We soon elected officers. For our president we chose Dean Milbum; vice president, Betty Cinnamon; secretary and treasurer, Louise Har-gadine; reporter, Susan Winter; and as Student Council representatives, Carolyn Grieve and Alan Ford. Mrs. Keller was our sponsor. Our class sponsored an all school party in honor of the departing seniors. We also took part in all school activities. To represent us at the Tolo Carnival we elected Betty Cinnamon as queen's attendant and Kenneth Heaton as king's attendant. We resumed school August 28th after a short summer vacation. Although we lost a few we gained as many and so again started to class with thirty-seven students. Mrs. Keller was again our sponsor and for officers we elected, president, Betty Cinnamon; vice president, Alan Ford; secretary and treasurer, Rose Marie Ewing; reporter, Milas Hicks; and for our student council representatives, Carolyn Grieve and Harold Ely. Our Tolo Carnival candidates were Alan Ford and Carolyn Grieve. Alan Ford was crowned King of Tolo Carnival and Carolyn Grieve was queen's attendant. We sponsored an all school Courtesy Week and climaxed it with a party at which we crowned a Miss and Mr. Courtesy. Mr. Howell (giving son a quarter): “Now be careful with that money, Charles. Remember the saying: A fool and his money are soon parted'. Charles H.: Yes, I know. But just the same, I want to thank you. The older generation thought nothing of getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning. We can assure you the younger generation doesn't think much of it, either. Dear Old Lady: Little boy, does your mother know that you smoke? Jim Rashid: Listen, lady, does your husband know you speak to strange men on his fold. After being thoroughly initiated by the seniors we were an official L. H. H. U. the street? Mrs. Ham: What've you been doing all morning? Donna Gerard: Filling the salt shakers like you told me to. Mrs Ham. Mrs Ham All that time? Donna Gerard: Yep, it ain't easy pouring salt through them little holes FRESHMAN HISTORY ☆ On August 31, 1948, forty-five bewildered freshmen entered Toulon High School. After about the first three days (during which we went to the wrong classes, were late or didn't get there at all), we settled down to the regular routine. With the help of our sponsor, Mr. Davies, we elected class officers. They are as follows: president, Frank Stogsdill; vice president, Roger Webster; secretary-treasurer, Harry Allen; Student Council representatives, Doris Winter and Lloyd Phillips, and class reporter, Dean Wilkinson. Then came initiation. We came to school in our gunny sacks and baby bonnets and tried to avoid the seniors as much as possible. However, most of the time we were down on our knees saying Almighty Seniors. There are four cheerleaders from the freshman class. Janet Marshall was chosen as cheerleader for the junior-senior team. Jeanne Briggs, Ruth Chamberlain, and June Webster are cheerleaders for the freshman-sophomore team. Doctor (after bringing victim to): How did you happen to take that poison? Didn't you read the sign on the bottle? It said 'Poison'. John Costin: Yessir, but I didn't believe it. Doctor: Why not? John: 'Cause right underneath it was a sign which said 'Lye'. Nan: Peg, did you hear that loud thunder last night? Peg: No, did it really thunder? Nan: Did it! That thunder was so loud it sounded as though heaven and earth had smacked together. Peg: Why didn't you wake me up? You know I can't sleep when it thunders. Ralph: Hey, Bob, where did you get that Southern accent? Bob T.: Honey chile, Ah've been drinkin' out of Dixie cups. Tibby: Say, why do you eat so many carrots? Margo: “They keep me from wearing glasses. Tibby: Don’t be silly. How can carrots keep you from wearing glasses? Marge: Did you ever see a rabbit wearing glasses? JUNIOR CLASS Fifth Row—Eloise Franklin, Phyllis Thompson, Joan Wilson, Esther McCulloch, Anne Heaton. Eleanor Peterson, Alice King, Delores Newman.

A noted part of this edition is the Dustpan which contains all of the latest gossip around the school. Everyone helps publish the paper by writing various articles which are of interest to the entire student body. The Typing II class does the actual typing and duplicating while the Art class furnishes all of the artistic parts. The staff was chosen at the beginning of the school year with Miss Lois Anderson as the sponsor. Donna Kidd was chosen editor, with Bob Campbell and Daryl Harmon as co-editors. The class reporters are as follows: freshman, Diane Elliott; sophomore, Milas Hicks, and Betty Cinnamon; junior, Nadene Porter and Jack Winans; and senior, Wayne Winans and Barbara Gehrt. The reporters for the special departments are as follows: music, Nancy Little; sports, Dave Biba; F. H. A , Lily Mae Dennis; and the F. F. A., Duane Allen. Everyone in school receives a copy of the Toulonicle which is published every other week. The extra copies which are left are sent to members of former graduating classes who desire them so that they, too, may keep up on the latest happenings in T. T. H. S. LIBRARY This year the Tuffies and our ring leader, Mrs. Keller, have tried to ac- complish a great deal in the library. Mrs. Keller wanted to give the librarians experience in stamping and carding new books, so she let them take care of processing the rebound books. Each librarian was assigned a certain number of books to do. Our library added a new set of Americana Encyclopedia and sixty new books this year. The north counter was moved to the north wall and a new desk for Mrs. Keller took its place. The library made a special effort to improve our service in regard to career materials. As a part of this program we secured new catalogs and bulletins from approximately one hundred colleges and universities and fifty specialized schools. There are two Tuffy librarians assigned for each period. They are Peggy Newman, Lily Mae Dennis, Barbara Gehrt, Evelyn Muckey, Eloise Franklin, Neola Cox, Milas Hicks, Arthur Cox, Helen Unruh, Delores Newman, Bill Hargadine, Vonnie Appenheimer, Nancy Little, Lois Elliott, and Jean Van Dran.

A. ☆ PRODUCED BY THE FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA The Leading Roles Are Portrayed by: Jo Ann Wilson.................................. —........President Helen Unruh ........................................ Vice President Barbara Miller Secretary Delores Newman Treasurer Lily Mae Dennis -..................... Reporter Mrs. Ham ______________________________________________ Sponsor Mrs. Perry Miller Chapter Mother As the scene opens on September 13, we find Sally looking in on our first meeting Sally is planning to be married in April. Sally gives us pointers on dating, going steady, engagement, and last, but not least, the wedding. Barbara Miller entertained Sally and members of the club by giving an interesting report of her trip to F. H. A. camp. As October 16 rolled around. Sally escorted Jo Ann Wilson, Helen Unruh, and Mrs. Ham to the Sectional House of Delegates meeting at the Block S Kuhl tea room in Peoria. Work and more work, Homecoming float to be decorated. All of that precious time spent for one parade, but it was worth it. We placed third and got our picture in the paper With the aid of the whole student body, Sally and her helpers sent many Christmas gifts, which amounted to 85 pounds, overseas. Sally suggested that we put our names and addresses in with the gifts. Eleanor Peterson received a letter from a girl in Norway thanking her for the gifts she received. Sally had to earn some money to help us on the publicity book, so it was decided the club would sell milk at the noon hour. Sally gave everybody a workout. The publicity book is Sally's diary of the F. H A. work of this year. Helen Unruh edited the book this year. The highlight of the year was the Sweetheart's Ball, which was held February 12 in the high school gym. We danced to the music of the Thundal orchestra. The gym was decorated to carry out the theme of Valentine's day. Barbara Miller learned at camp that it was best to take new members into the club at the beginning of the second semester. This she passed on to Sally. Along wi‘h the new members, we took in a transfer from Galva, Katherine Likes. The annual F. H. A. rally was held at Spring Valley March 12. The Toulon chapter of F. H. A. led the group singing. Bertha Lind and Betty Cinnamon modeled their dresses that they made in Home Ec. this year. All good things must come to an end so the curtain comes down on Sally's progressive year. J. W. and L. M. D. G. A. A. This organization began this year of '48-'49 with sixty girls and Mr. Wallis as their sponsor. The officers are Evelyn Muckey, president; Phyllis House, vice president; and Marjorie Franks, secretary-treasurer. To start the year a 'pep-squad'' was organized but was not too successful. Then came basketball. Some of the various teams were Never Misses, The Gindos, Buttons and Bows, and “The Winning Ones. A tournament was held at noon. The boys were allowed to watch but they had to sit in the balcony, which they didn't like at all. The G. A A. girls who participated in Physical Education also played speedball, volleyball, badminton and soft ball. A soft ball tournament is being planned for this spring. The bowling alley was a scene of laughter and gaiety as the girls bowled after school. C. E„ '49 ☆ FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA There were thirty-two members in the F. F. A. this year. The following officers were chosen: President .................................Wayne Winans Vice President ............................. Don Phillips Secretary .............................. ...Duane Allen Treasurer ........................... Willard Carroll Reporter ..................................Clair Plotner Sentinel ........................... Bill Hargadine In order to make money this year, the F. F. A. members sold pennants at football and basketball games, as well as many other money-making jobs. The chapter had a hayrack ride last fall, and everyone enjoyed it. We also went on a few field trips which proved to be very educational to everyone. The Toulon F. F. A. had its fourth annual Parent-Son banquet on Friday night, March 11. It was another great success. The dinner was prepared by the women of the Methodist church and served by the T. T. H. S. faculty members. Our main speaker was Mr. Patterson, who is field representative of the Public Relations Department of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), with offices in Chicago. His speech was very interesting to everyone. We hope that next year we can have a larger attendance, larger program, and an all-around better banquet. It will not be easy to have a banquet better than this year's. £4 W. W. HOMECOMING Three boys and three girls were selected by the student body for candidates for the king and queen. The public voted by way of penny votes for their candidates. The money will be used for a new scoreboard. The results were as follows: Queen..........................................Lily Mae Dennis King ..........................................Ronnie Wallace Attendants Shirley Whittaker, Donna Kidd, Daryl Harmon, Robert Campbell N. W., '49 TOLO CARNIVAL The Tolo Carnival was held December 17, 1948, sponsored by the senior class. Each class elected four candidates for king and four for queen. The entire student body then voted for the queen from the class selling the most tickets, and the king from the class selling the second highest amount of tickets. The classes then elected the attendants from the remaining candidates. Queen .............................

She thinks Danny is the perfect husband and she spends all her time trying to please him. Into her garden of Eden, three ladies arrive. One is Mrs. Seymour, who has been married thirteen years; another is Mrs. Noyes, who has been married five years, and the third one is Miss Birdie Talium, who has never been married. Seeking to give her advice on the subject of men and marriage, they tell Evelyn all the trials and tribulations of matrimony warning her not to do this, that, and the other. They finally drive the poor girl to desperation. She telephoned her husband and upon his assurance that she is the only girl in the world for him, she decided she has found the perfect husband. ☆ WILBUR TAKES HIS MEDICINE ☆ Wilbur Maxwell, son Robert Campbell Betty Lou Maxwell, daughter Virginia Witten Connie Maxwell, daughter Roberta Hancock Janet Maxwell, mother Evelyn Muckey John Maxwell, father.............................Daryl Harmon To a 13-year-old boy, there's nothing that tastes as terrible in this whole, wide world as castor oil. Wilbur Maxwell is a 13-year-old boy, and he is faced with the sad task of downing his oil—a fate worse than hanging. Today was Papa Maxwell's day off—he was home to relax—but son Wilbur picked this day of all days to cause trouble. Mama said Wilbur needed just one thing: castor oil. Mama makes Papa take a dose, to show how easy it really is. No luck! Wilbur doesn't want to take his medicine, so poor pop has to take more to show him how easy it is. Mr. Maxwell turns green around the gills— too much castor oil. All turns out all right. J. W. L. M. D.

This opportunity is unexpectedly presented to him when Laverna Carr arrives to interview Eloise for a fan magazine. Left alone with Laverna, Mr. Harvey provides her with material for a startling scoop, as a result of which the studio breaks Eloise's contract. Now that she is no longer a star and the wage-earner of the family, Mr. Harvey rolls up his sleeves and gets to work. Mrs. Davies: “That’s the third time you've looked on Bob's paper. Daryl H.: “I know—his writing is awful. Evelyn: “Join me in a cup of tea? Martha: “Do you think we will fit? Have you heard about the confused li.tle moron who wanted to know how many wheels a football coach had? Phyl H.: It sure was tough sledding yesterday. Norma: “Why? Phyl: “No snow. Harry: “There were three morons and among them they had only one umbrella. Which one got wet?” Everel: “I'll bite. Which one? Harry: “Who said it was raining?

The cast was as follows: Mr. Piper, who thinks he's boss Mrs. Piper, who knows she is Susan, their sensible daughter......... Laurette, their frivolous daughter Pinky, their youngest daughter Joanie, a bobby-sox girl............... Ranny, Laurette’s boy-friend .......... Biff, Joanie's boy-friend Marilee, a beautiful brunette Stephen Foster Brown, a young musician Ramona, the maid ......................

Sandy ........................... Ginny ................................. Clair Plotner Lily Mae Dennis ....... Donna Kidd Norma Williams Vonnie Appenheimer Shirley Whittaker Bob Campbell Daryl Harmon Nancy Little Ronnie Wallace Jo Ann Wilson Peggy Newman Bill Hargadine Charlotte Ely .......Donna Gerard Phyllis House Barbara Gehrt Evelyn Muckey .....Virginia Witten Ranny and Biff were practically forgotten men, since Joanie and Laurette had given their hearts to the radio mystery crooner. Then they pull a fast one and frame Stephen, the new music teacher, as the mystery crooner. (He's a nice guy—but no one you'd swoon over—and, besides, the girls were peeved because he didn't notice them). This will disillusion the girls—the boys hope —and they'll come running back to them. But it does just the opposite, and before you know it the girls are swooning at Stephen’s feet. (They never gave him a second glance before!) But the worst is yet to come. Stephen really is the mystery crooner—he had taken up crooning only to help finance a serious musical career. To stave off the onslaught of girls, Stephen asks Susan (more his age and secretly in love with him) to pretend that they are engaged. Susan readily agrees, but Biff and Ranny spoil things unwittingly, with one of their bright ideas, by framing the engagement of Stephen to three of the bobby-sox brigade at once, and Susan is heartbroken (believing Stephen is fickle and that he loves all this adoration). A lady reporter with a nose for news, a slick photographer, and a fast-talking girl from the advertising agency then descend on Stephen to make his existence more hectic (if that is possible). Poor Stephen! He wants only to be left alone with his music—and Susan—with whom he now realizes he is in love—but has to face the whole barrage of publicity revolving about his crooning. In a fast and furious final act, Stephen finds time not only for his serious music—and his crooning—but for Susan also. P. N„ '49 STUDENT COUNCIL ☆ During this year of '48-'49 the students have seen a more active Student Council. We had three very capable members from each class. Our members were: Freshmen Lloyd Phillips, Franklin Stogsdill and Doris Winter Sophomores... Betty Cinnamon, Carolyn Grieve and Harold Ely Juniors Nadene Porter, Ralph Crist and Joan Wilson Seniors Ronnie Wallace, Bob Campbell and Shirley Whittaker From these members the organization elected its officers. President, Ronnie Wallace; vice president. Bob Campbell; secretary and treasurer, Shirley Whittaker; reporter, Ralph Crist. Our new sponsor, Mrs. Davies, has helped make our Student Council unusually active this year. Our first job was to make our homecoming of '48 a success. The traditions of the homecoming were somewhat changed to make it a more important event of the year. In November, twelve of our members attended an annual student council convention at Macomb. Here we listened to lectures to make our organization a more powerful one. We are proud to say that we took charge of the magazine sales this year, which, with the cooperation of the student body, was a huge success. With the money we bought a very fine tape recorder. Several assemblies were sponsored by the Student Council. These programs were made up of members of the student body. We had three assembly programs which were gotten for us by the Student Council of '47-'48. Every member is glad he could be a part of the organization which represents the student body. S. D. W. Man on bus: Whom do you think you're shoving? O her man: I don't know. Introduce yourself. Mr Stogsdill: “II you had x apples and y oranges, and gave a ol them to your (riends, what would you have?

The Tuffies were as follows: Warren Grant . Laura Grant Alice Joyce Behnke Mimi . ... Ann Heaton Keith ... Jack Winans Louise Spencer . Jimmy Long Bob Turner Professor Cornelius Prickett .... George Eiermann Herbert Goss . Stuart Mason Charles Howell Mr. Barrett Barrett Joan Briggs Hildegarde Marjorie Frank Prof. Prickett, after reading Alice's phoney term paper describing her own father as a megalomaniac, comes to their home on a holiday to study his case. This is on the same day that Mr. Grant accepts the nomination for governor. This is also the day Mrs. Grant, without her husband's permission, brings an interior decorator to look over the house. He is disguised as a detective and confused with the Prof. A lady politician, the hilarious maid Hildegarde, and a young newspaper reporter all help to tangle the Truth. The lies and deceptions are cleared up as Hildegarde wins first prize in a puzzle contest and falls in love with the Prof. Two hillbillies embarked on their first train ride. A salesman came through their car selling bananas. These hillbillies had never seen bananas before, so they each bought one. Just as one of them took a bite the train entered a tunnel. He asked his companion, “Have you eaten your banana yet? “No, why? said the second. The first warned him, Don't touch it. I've taken only one bite and I'm blind. Bob: What would you do if you were in my shoes? Dave: Polish them. 7f SENIOR PLAY Standing—Donna Kidd, Barbara Gehrt, Charlotte Ely, Virginia Witten, Donna Gerard, Bill Hargadine, Nancy Little, Peggy Newman. Shirley Whitlaker, Ronald Wallace.

COMIN’ 'ROUND THE MOUNTAIN A BARGAIN’S A BARGAIN JUNIOR CLASS PLAY ?0 GIRLS’ SEXTET The girls’ sextet is composed of Joan Briggs, Joyce Behnke, sopranos. Barbara Gehrt, Nancy Little, second sopranos, and Phyllis Charsky, Barbara Reed, altos. The girls sang at many activities throughout the year. Their special numbers were: “As Long As Children Pray” “Now the Day is Over “Night and Day” “Tea for Two “Lord's Prayer “The Green Cathedral “By the Bend of the River ☆ INTER NOS This year a new organization, the Latin Club, made its first bow in our school. The name, Inter Nos, meaning Among Us. was selected as the title of the new club. The club is composed of seven “Tuffies which also comprise the Latin II class: Charles Howell, president; George Eiermann, vice president; Nadene Porter, secretary-treasurer; Eloise Franklin, Barbara Bower, Jack Winans, and Richard Thompson. Our advisor is Miss Grace Elliott, the language instructor. The chief purpose of the club is to stimulate an interest in all things classical. Typical of the program of the club are discussions on various phases of Roman life, art, and literature. We also sing a few songs which have been translated into Latin. Last fall the club entered a float in the Homecoming parade. Perhaps you recall our rather unique vehicle, a Trojan chariot, drawn by none other than “equus pariribus just as it might have appeared in that long-ago day. As a final project for the year, the club is constructing an authentic model of a Roman house. Each member is contributing his special share in the building of the model. An extra project is being undertaken by one member also. Jack Winans is building a model, of a Roman ship. We of the Latin club feel that the study of Latin and Roman times can be both pleasant and profitable. ☆ BOYS’ QUARTET The boys' quartet is composed of Robert Campbell, first tenor; Jack Winans. second tenor; Ronald Wallace, baritone; George Eiermann, bass. This is the first year that all four of these boys have sung together but they have done a marvelous job. They gave many public performances throughout the year, some of the outstanding appearances were: Minstrel show, Knoxville concert, Stockmen's banquet. Athletic banquet, Rebekah lodge, Methodist birthday dinner and several assembly programs. Though they had a large repertoire their outstanding songs were: “Hawaiian War Chant “Good-night Ladies “Shine On Me “While Strolling Through the Park “I Had a Dream, Dear “Tell Me Why “Coney Island Baby “Stouthearted Men N.

Under the direction of our new coach, Robert Wallis, the Trojans placed second in the Blackhawk Conference. Our first win was with Princeville. We romped over them with a score of 18 to 0. Our next victory was a real victory. The Trojans knocked down the Wethersfield Geese by a score of 6 to 0. It was a real battle, and also the first time the Trojans had beaten the Geese in 11 years. Our next game was our first defeat, and the game that cost us the conference title. The Walnut eleven halted the Trojans by a score of 7 to 0. The next week the Trojans recovered and ran over Dunlap by a margin of 32 to 12. Although the Trojans were a light team they were able to outrun the heavier Dunlap team. The Galva Wildcats were next. We went over there and nosed out the Wildcats by a score of 18 to 14. Our Homecoming was a real success. The Bradford Panthers, and the only team not to be held scoreless until they played us, were walloped by a score of 24 to 0. Our last conference game was with Wyoming, our school rival. Although they beat us last year, the Trojans stormed back this year and romped over them 18 to 2. Our last game was with the Grey Ghost of Chillicothe. It was a bitter defeat for us. We lost by a score of 14 to 6. This year the team will lose six of its letter men, but we know that their places can be filled. The team chose co-captains this year. They are Allen Harrington and Ronnie Wallace. The Trojans gained 7.2 yards a play on the ground for the eight games that we played. The passing yardage was 7.73 yards a pass. The touchdowns for the Trojans were scored by the following players: Ford scored 5 touchdowns running a total yardage of 81 yards, Harmon scored 5 touchdowns running a total yardage of 138 yards, Biba scored 1 touchdown with a total yardage of 65 yards, Crist scored 2 touchdowns with a total yardage of 43 yards, and Harrington scored 5 touchdowns with a total yardage of 216 yards. The Trojans racked up a total of 1688 yards against their opponents, which is just 68 yards shy of covering a mile. The Trojans also racked up a total yardage in passes of 464 against their opponents. BASKETBALL ☆ Our basketball team this year was up to par, but it must have been an off season we had. The Trojans put up some good battles and lost several games by narrow margins. Although the Trojans didn't have a very good record this year, they are expected to have a more successful season next year. The team chose Daryl Harmon as the varsity captain. Some of the regulars of the varsity team are Daryl Harmon, Willard Carroll, Bob Campbell, Elmer Thurston, Bill Hargadine, Allen Harrington, Duane Allen, Dave Biba, Gene Wallace, and Ralph Crist. Although the Trojans lost several of their games they racked up a total of 797 points in all the games. This is an average of 40 points a game, which is a fairly good average for high school basketball. The frosh-soph team did their share this year. Some of the regulars are Bud Franklin, captain; Dean Milburn, Milas Hicks, Alan Ford, Harry Allen, Jim Williams, Kenny Biba, and Harold Ely. Mr. Stogsdill helped Coach Wallis this year by coaching the Junior Varsity squad. ☆ TRACK This year our track team should be strong. We have quite a few letter men back. The Trojans track team is expected to run close competition with all the other schools we compete with. The last season's letter men were Duane Allen, captain; Ronnie Wallace, Daryl Harmon, Gene Wallace, Dave Biba, Allen Harrington, Don Phillips, Clair Plotner, Willard Carroll. The others who didn't get letters last year we hope will get their letters this year.
