May those who are not of the Class of ’28 read this chronicle of our last year and receive from it an add- ed incentive ever to strive on- ward in pursuit of education. May it preserve for all time the memory of happy days—whether at work or play — the lasting friendships you made there with both students and fellow-students, and golden hours that have been a part of the life at T. C. H. S. Pane two THE ECHO DEDICATION To our parents, we, the Class of ’28, respectfully dedicate this book. We realize that through their help and sacrifice we have been able to attain the heights to which we have been looking for the past four years. In honor of their faithfulness, we, the Class of ’28, dedicate this book. Page three THE ECHO EDITORIAL Some K NirO T S You Will Find Entangled in This Book You will not find a lavish display of genius. You will not find a fossilized class prophecy and class will. You will not find “an ancient grudge fed fat;” our grudges art l.ut shadows of the image. You will not find immortal footprints in the sands of time; we left ours at home. You will not find a second desire to read a second volume like this. You will not find what you expected us to say about you. You will not find what we ought to have said about you. You will not find the desired explanation as to how this book is made. Having thus knotted your attitude, patient pilgrim, we shall journey on to another page of wisdom lore. Payc four T. C. H.

S. 19 2 8 THE ECHO SENIOR CLASS HISTORY A REALISTIC DRAMA In Four Acts Time: September, 1924-May, 1928. Place: Tremont Community High School. Synopsis: Act I: Freshman Act III: Junior Act II: Sophomore Act IV: Senior ACT I The curtain rises upon a group of nineteen little Freshies, many of whom have gone through the Tremont Grade School together, and all of whom are eagerlv anticipating, yet fearing, the ordeals of high school. The next scene shows a class meeting, at which the Freshmen organize with the following officers: Raymond Hodgson, president: Junious May, vice-presi- dent : Lucille Harmon, secretary-treasurer. Miss Kirkwood is our class advisor. The first dreaded ordeal arrives in the form of an initiation party staged by the Sophomores. A fine reception has been planned but the Freshies survive sufficiently to enjoy the social time which follows. A few weeks later we return the party to the upperclassmen. That the Freshies are a fun-loving group with social aspirations is further evidenced by the weiner roast held on a cool, snappy fall evening (and the never- to-be-forgotten ride in Lucille’s truck), and the backward, hardtime party held on Valentine day. Raymond Hodgson. Raymond Thomas and Junious May become members of the baseball team. Raymond Hodgson makes the first squad in basket ball and promises to develop into a fine player. We are represented by the following members in the preliminaries in the spring: Arnold, Leonard and Virginia in declamation; Junious in oration; Alice and Lillis in vocal. Alice and Leonard receive first places and represent Tremont in the County Meet where Leonard wins third place. ACT II The curtain again rises, but this time upon twenty Sophomores. Raymond Thomas is not to be with us again, but we welcome two new members into our ranks—Leslie Maurer and Raymond Riggenbach. Miss Kirkwood is again our advisor. Our officers for the year are: Leonard Unsicker. president; Viola Storrer, vice-president; Virginia May, secretary-treasurer. How sweet is our revenge when an opportunity comes to initiate the Freshmen into the mysteries of high school life! We are proud of the active part which our class takes in school activities. Virginia, Alice, Leonard, Junious and Arnold become members of the first de- bating teams in the history of the high school. Mary, Arnold, Junious. Lillis and Alice represent us in the literary and musical contests. We are especially proud of the record made in the various contests. At the State District Meet in East Peoria, Lillis wins first in soprano, Alice third in contralto, Arnold first in oration and Leonard third in declamation. Arnold and Lillis represent us in the State finals at Normal. In the Bradley Interscholastic Alice wins second. Page fifteen 19 2 8 T C. H. S. THE ECHO Our debating members presented the literary play, “The Dust of the Earth,” in June, winning for themselves added fame for the splendid quality of the pro- duction. In athletics, we are represented by Raymond Hodgson and Junious in base- ball; Raymond Hodgson, Raymond Riggenbach and Albert in basketball, and Raymond Hodgson and Junious in the County Meet. ACT III The curtain rises upon the next act to find the same class assembled as Juniors, with the exception of Mary Cody, who has decided that she might like Eldon. Iowa, better. The class officers are: Arnold Strunk, president; David Taylor, vice-president; Viola Storrer, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Getz is out- class advisor. In October many of the Juniors take part in the operetta. “Love Pirates of Hawaii,” which was a splendid success. Alice and Lillis have leading parts. In November, the Literary Club play is repeated. In February, we choose our class rings. On April 1, the class presents “Come Out of the Kitchen” to an appreciative audience. In the preliminaries we are represented by Leonard. Viola, Arnold and Lillis. These members represent the school at Millikin and Rradley, and in the County Meet at Armington. In the last named, Leonard wins second place. In athletics, we are represented by R. Hodgson. R. Riggenbach, Junious. Albert and David. We win championship honors in baseball and basketball and third place in the County Meet. On May 21, a long-looked-for event arrives in the Junior-Senior banquet. ACT TV The curtain rises for the last time upon a group of ambitious Seniors. They choose the following officers: David Taylor, president: Leonard Unsicker, vice- president; Mildred Pflederer, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Johnson is our class advisor. Leonard, by virtue of his office, is also president of the Student Council. Very soon we find the Seniors happily engaged in the preparation of their play, “Are You a Mason?” which is presented on December 8 with wonderful success. It is repeated on January 2. A few weeks later the Seniors enjoy a party in the Gymnasium. We are again well represented in baseball. Roth Raymonds attain fame in basketball. Five of our members are again coming out in the literary and musical contests. May 19 will usher in the first of the Commencement activities—the Junior- Senior banquet. Raccalaureate services will be held on May 20. and on May 23 the class will depart from the rank of Seniors to that of Alumni. CLASS PROPHECY As traveling salesman for the Perfection Gum Co., which owes its success to Tremont High School students, I happened to spend a night in Tremont at the Hotel Unsicker with Henry, its proprietor, and Mildred Pflederer, head- waitress. I asked for the daily edition of the Tremont News and T was very much interested in finding various items concerning my classmates of ’28. Pajjc sixteen THE ECHO I was not surprised to read that David Taylor was Jack Dempsey, Jr.’s manager, when I recalled his interest in Jack Dempsey, Sr. At the last meeting of the Chicago Parent-Teachers’ Association Mrs. Alice ? ? ? was elected president. Alice P ecker was an excellent school worker when we were in school together so it didn’t surprise me when I read that she had attained such a high honor. Albert Stuber and Raymond Riggenbach are doing excellent work in the Army Air Corps in San Antonia Aviation Field. The commander at San Antonio, in a letter to the News office, said that they were two of the best pilots he has ever instructed. In New York City Junious May is defending the Mayor of defrauding the City Government. Junious has set up an excellent profession since he was ad- mitted to the bar some ten years ago. There was a letter, written by Mary Cody from Europe, saying she finds French girls very interesting. She spoke of one by the name of Fanchon, which she thought was especially interesting. The Ick Cigarette Company has prospered with Raymond Hodgson as presi- dent and its main office and factory in Dillion. I would scarcely believe it when I read that Virginia May was the oldest inmate in a home for maiden ladies. Leonard LTnsicker is an instructor of public speaking. He has turned out some of the best speakers in the State of Illinois. As a professional singer Lillis Hinman has reaped great fame. At present she is traveling through the country under the contract of the “Great States” theatres. Alberta Hodgson, I was quite surprised to see. is wife of the Governor of the Philippine Islands, and also a Domestic Science instructor in the West Indies. Last, but not least, is Viola Storrer, who has written many interesting essays and novels and at the present time is working on her masterpiece, “Good Looking Men.” Arnold Strunk. CLASS WILL We, the class of ’28 of the Tremont Community High School, in Tazewell County and the State of Illinois, feeling in the very marrow of our bones that we shall soon hear the clang of the golden gates of youth closing behind us, with trembling hands gather together the few gifts we have to bestow, and bequeath them to our beloved friends in this, our last will and testament. We, as a class, bequeath the following: To the Freshman class, this advice—take an example from our behavior in the Study Hall.

Robert Annasenz Oliver Green Josephine Attebury Sam Herman Harold Becker Rayburn Becker Donald Kinsey Harold Blue Wilbur Coddington Dorothy Moser Emma Moser Russell 1 icrs Eli Pflederer Marie Fawer Helen Schmid John Gerstner Oleta Strunk Given—Seventeen Juniors. To prove—That the Junior Class consists of happy, kind and brilliant boys and girls Proof—Draw a line from A to S, inserting nine other points, R, C, D, F, G, H. K, M and P. Let point A stand for kindness. But, from the figure we see that it stands for Robert Annasenz. also Josephine Attebury, our “Martha Elizabeth Ann,” with her happy, contagious smile and “melodious” voice. Next comes R, shared by Rayburn and Harold Becker and Harold Blue, our stage stars who demonstrated their ability in the Junior play. Follow the line to point C, where we find Wilbur Coddington, the talkative chap, “surest thing you know.” Pass on to point D, which stands for Russell Diers, our plucky little basketball forward Now, it is time to move on to F, where we find Marie Fawer, also of Junior play fame, pushing forward to greet us. Next, we find G divided into two pieces, led by John Gerstner, our musician and actor chap. He is followed by Oliver Green, who is always telling us what to do. As everyone knows, G is followed by H, which stands for Sam Herman, our class president and basket ball man. K stands for Donald Kinsey, another great athlete. Letter M divides honors with Dorothy and Emma Moser, representing the brilliant element of our class. Next comes point P. where we find Eli Pflederer who, at times, is quiet, although never as noisy as the Sophomores. Last, but not least, comes S, divided into two parts—Helen Schmid and Oleta Strunk, happy Juniors who have also demonstrated their ability in “The End of the Lane.” Therefore, since we have pointed out the gifts of our seventeen members, we have proved conclusively that the Junior Class consists of happy, kind anti brilliant boys and girls.

Who’s that rattling the castinets?” Sophie: “Castinets? That noise? Why that’s the Freshies’ knees knocking together. The above needs no explanation. Our quakings were more than audible when we twenty-four Freshies entered the assembly for the first time. After R. S. Barnes had been appointed our class advisor, we began to feel a little more calm and a trifle more human. On September 14 we held the election of our class officers with the following results: George Hinman. president; Richard Hoffman, vice-president; Frances Long, secretary; Eugene Kinsey, treasurer. For days we were threatened by the Sophomores. We were invited to the gvm on September 2d, where we were subjected to many indignities. Each Freshie was tagged with a green band—as though we were not green enough to be picked out in a crowd of staid, old Sophomores. We (?) removed our shoes, were ushered into a dark room and—but why tell all.'' We came out full- fledged, high school students. We Freshies with the rest of the school, the Faculty and a few chaperones, attended a weiner and marshmallow roast at Hinman’s Bridge last fall. We hope that by the time the Freshman boys are Seniors they will he as good hosts as LeonardT nsicker proved himself that night. Puzzle: Where did Evie Hin- man get that can of mustard? The Freshman entered a float in the annual circus parade. We, with the help of Mr. Wallace, worked for days in Becker’s barn decorating it. Does anyone wonder why the Freshies went bareheaded for a few days after the prizes were awarded? Secret—Our hats wouldn’t fit our swelled heads after we won first prize for the best float. TO OUR CLASS ADVISORS Some teachers love the brown and gold, Some teacher love the green, Some teachers love the red ink shade, While others love the cream. But Mr. Barnes, beneath his chin No narrow preference shows, For all the loudest shades he wears In four-in-hands and bows. Pane lltirly-one Name Raymond kiggcnhach..

First row—Orvctta Storrer, Ruth Hoffman, Frances Long, Dorothy Moser, Dorothy Studyvin, Virginia May, Mildred Pflederer, Viola Storrer. The Student Council was organized with Leonard Unsicker as president; Russell Diers as vice-president; and Virginia May as secretary. At the second meeting a vote was taken to enlarge the body by admitting the secretary of each class as well as the president and vice-president. The vote carried. The Council was also called upon to assist in the organizing of the new Literary Clubs. The Council is asked to suggest and approve changes in the school policy. This includes changes in the standard of final examinations. The members assist in arranging the nature and time of all school activities, and the admission to be charged. Matters are freely discussed by members and as representatives of their class may give further suggestions. As yet no constitution or charter has been drawn up because such a docu- ment has not been felt necessary as the members have co-operated and worked together wonderfully well. The Class of ’28 therefore wishes the classes success in keeping up this ex- cellent school spirit in the years to come. Page thirty-five 19 2 8 T. C.H. S.

THE CIRCUS The students under the management of Mr. Barnes assisted by the other teachers, staged their second annual college circus in the High School Gym- nasium on October 22, 192 . Good roads and fine weather made it successful. A parade was put on at 2:30 on that Saturday afternoon. Floats were made by each class and one country school. The first prize for the best float was awarded by the judges (three prominent business men) to the Freshmen. The Sophomores received second prize. In the other division the Antioch School received first prize. For the best clowns, Harold Becker and John Gerstner unanimously received the reward. The parade was led by the “Hobo Band,” a musical organization composed of the Girls’ Glee Club. The animals consisted of the ostrich, “Wilbur;” the rare giraffe, “Donick;” the active horses, the wonderful elephant “Jumbo,” and her daughter, “Tiny.” Other thrilling animals were the “Wamores Cat” and the monster “Giant Hoofus.” The real performance began in the evening at 8:00 o’clock. The main per- formances included such thrillers as: A playlet “Drinking the Nile Dry,” in which Jumbo featured and the “Mock Wedding,” in which Alberta Hodgson and Leonard Becker were joined by Harold Blue; the famous “Doll Dance,” by Verla Bennett and Lillis Hinman ; and a group of songs by several picked students. A reproduction of the Dempsey-Tunney fight received great applause. Great credit is to be given to Mr. Barnes, the chief manager of the circus, who with the assistance of the other teachers, staged the second successful circus. Page thirty-eight THE ECHO! LITERARY SOCIETIES Everyone in High School belongs to one of the two literary societies organized during the winter under the supervision of Miss Collins. 1 hese societies were known as the “A’s” and the “B’s until definite names were chosen. . „ The “A’s” adopted the letters C. S. from the Latin motto “Scientia Crescat, meaning “may knowledge increase.” The officers of the society are: irginia May, president; Marie Fawer, vice-president; Verla Bennett, secretary; and Albert Stuber, treasurer. . The “B’s” will be known by the letters I. O.. having adopted the Latin motto, “Institia Omnibus,” meaning “justice for all.” They elected the follow- ing officers: Sam Herman, president; George Barton, vice-president, Doiotln Studyvin, secretary; and Russell Diers, treasurer.

The bad roads were somewhat of a handicap, but we were favored by a good at- tendance and the play was well received. Several members had previously had stage training, but this was the first production of the class as a whole.

The Seniors presented their class play, “Are You a Mason?” on December 8, 1927. This was a farcical comedy in three acts, written by Leo Dietrichstein. The complicated plot involved a series of amusing incidents, and the characters, in trying to get out of one predicament, succeeded only in getting into a worse one, each time. I he cast worked hard and faithfully for several weeks under the direction of their coach, Mrs. Johnson, to make the production a success. The constant laughter and applause from the audience, which necessitated frequent pauses on the part of the actors, bore testimony of the adaptability and skill with which each member portrayed his part. At the time of presenta- tion the weather was unusually cold and prevented many people from attending. The play was repeated by request on January 2, 1928.

First row—George Barton, Sam Herman, Raymond Riggenbach (captain), Raymond Hodgson, Russell Dcirs, Donald Kinsey. Our athletes, under the guidance of Mr. Wallace, with Raymond Riggen- bach as captain, succeeded in winning twenty-five of the thirty-six games played. The reserves also did well in their games, as likewise did the Freshmen, who were organized as a team for the first time in the history of the school. The schedule of the season was heavy and included nearly all of the strongest teams of Central Illinois. With a record of 700 per cent of these games, and honors at three tournaments, our boys ranked our high school with the best. Our appreciation was shown by the numerous banquets at the close of the season. Our boys were early invited to participate in the Weslyan Invitational Tournament. We won our first contest from Bloomington after a hard battle with a score of 23 to 19. The game was featured by the all-around playing of the team. In our second game we lost to Cornell, when our final spurt failed, we lacked two points to tie the score. Hodgson was rewarded for his all- around playing by being placed on the second all-star team. Our next tournament was the Canton Invitational Tournament. The team was hitting on all five and easily won from the “husky” Lewiston boys by the score of 36 to 17. The game was featured by the shooting ability of Hermann and Diers who scored baskets from all angles of the floor. We won our second Page forty-one THE ECHO game from the strong Princeville team. We overcame a lead of 16 to 9 at the third quarter and easily won by a score of 23 to 17. This put us in the semi- finals against the strong Canton team. After our having an 8 to 2 advantage at the half, Canton finally won after the timer’s gun cracked. The score was 15 to 19. We played Yates City for third place honors and won to the tune of 23 to 12. We received a beautiful trophy for our noble work. The team showed great sportsmanship and fighting spirit. We entered the county tournament with an even chance of winning. Our first foe was Washington, which we easily disposed of by the score of 23 to 13. We won from Hopedale after playing on even terms during the game, being decided by a basket by Rick in the last minute of play with a score of 13 to 11. This put us in the finals with Delavan. We lost a heart breaking game to Delavan in the fourth overtime period. The score was 17 to 19. We entered the District Tournament at Pekin to close the season. In our first game we defeated our Pekin rivals in a rough and tumble affair. The final score was 25 to 11. We easily won from Mackinaw in our second en- counter. We faced Manito in the semi-finals and suffered defeat after a hard fought battle by a score of 18 to 15. Luck shots at closing minutes of play gave victory to Manito. We easily won third place from Forrest City, winning by a score of 36 to 10. This game was featured by “Ick” and “Rick.” each collecting five field goals and ending their high school career. BASKETBALL PERSONNEL Raymond Riggenbach, captain-guard. Captain “Ricky” played a nice game at guard and led a very successful basketball team through the season. He was chosen at the District Tournament as guard on the first all-star team. RAYMOND HODGSON—Center “Ick,” our center, was rated among the best in this district. He had a good eye and played a high brand of ball. He was chosen at the District Tournament as center on the first team. RUSSELL DIERS—Forward “Cotton” played a dandy floor game and was a dangerous man under the hoop w'ith his left hand. He will again see service next year. DONALD KINSEY—Forward “Don” was a fast man on the floor with his keen eye for the hoop. He will also see service next year. SAM HERMANN—Guard “Sam” played a good defensive game and had an unusual eye for the basket. He will still be with T. C. H. S. next year. George Barton, Hiram Rhorer, Wilbur Coddington and Elmer Burke all saw service this year and will be fighting for T. C. H. S. next year. Puyc forty-two T. C. H.

THE ECHO TRACK AND FIELD The High School track team is working faithfully to make a splendid record this spring even in the face of the serious handicap of cool weather and a wet field. With the guidance of Mr. Wallace, our coach, we hope that a few more nights of practice will be sufficient to bring victory once more before we leave our school as graduates. The County Meet is being held here this year and all the boys are working on the track more than on their events. This may cause us to slip a notch or two but we never give up hope. The track is one-fifth of a mile, as large a track as there is in the county. Our hoys will participate in meets at Forrest City Invitational, Bradley Intel scholastic, County at Home, State District at Bloomington, Wesleyan Invitational, Dual meets with Peoria Central, Pekin, Mackinaw, IIopedale. 50-yard dash—- 1.

Extra time was given in training under the direction of Coach E. J. Wallace. I hey at once selected Sam Hermann to assume the captainship. . We opened the season at Armington September 16, in winning by a -U score, the only shut-out score of the season. On September 23, the Delavan nine joumeved to our local diamond for a game and took a one-sided affair to the tune of 9-2. , .

Manual Training John H. Johnson, Superintendent OUR SCHOOL ORGANIZATION The free Kindergarten privileges were again offered by the community. The advantages of this early training are becoming more and more evident as the pupils advance in school. Miss Moser was again in charge of the work. She is one of a few teachers that holds a special kindergarten certificate issued hy the State Department. Full time music and art instructions were again offered a'l of our pupils. The splendid work accomplished has been the subject of considerable comment by our visitors. Instrumental training was added to the course in music during the second semester. Hence for the first time in its history does the school have an orchestra. This added feature is under the direction of Professor W. F. Bunnell. The training in voice and art was again supervised by Miss Hatfield. The physical education and athletic training of boys was again continued under the direction of Mr. Wallace. Under his guidance, the boys secured a beautiful shield for winning the championship in basketball in the heavyweight division. The girls were also offered training with Miss Scott in charge. This training is greatly appreciated by all that participated. An entirely new feature was added to our course of training the past year. This provides for daily work in manual training for the bovs and in sewing for the girls. The manual training work was in charge of Mr. Wallace, and the training in sewing by Miss Pflederer, assisted by Miss Koch. An operetta and other entertainment features were presented bv the Grammar Room Pupils during the early part of the school year. The Primary and Intermediate Rooms arranged a special Washington and Lincoln program in season. These two evenings of entertainment were of high grade and demonstrated the superior ability of our teachers in charge. The pupils are very busy preparing for the preliminaries as this book goes to press. The training in declamation is directed by Miss Stegner, the track and field by Mr. Wallace, the music by Miss Hatfield, and the spelling, dictionary and similar contests by Miss Koch. We hope the school may again win first honors in many events to continue our success of a year ago. Our classroom work cannot be so readily tested. However, we have evi- dence of superior training in the splendid results indicated in achievement tests. Invariably our records have ranged above the average standard of other schools indicated by the tests. In many instances, their achievement is so far superior that it ranks with the highest merit.

Illinois Page eighty seven THE ECHO 7 Blue Ribbon Annual Relieving the staff of mechanical details is one of the duties any good school annual printer feels a part of his responsibility. Further than this, Blue Ribbon books enjoy a constant personal contact service, available all through the year at the staff’s call. As- sistance to the Business Manager in helping with the problems of subscriptions and the assistance in the sale of advertising space, credited by many as being the greatest help offered by any organization in the field, are additional features of Blue Ribbon Service. The size of a book or school makes no dif- ference in Blue Ribbon production, for there is just one set of standard methods of pro- ducing a book. That is why all Blue Ribbon annuals are of the highest grade materials and workmanship. Latest developments in style are always found in Blue Ribbon books, yet the novelties that pass with the night are never approached. An annual is built for future years. Hence, the proper care and due consideration of all details are reflected in Blue Ribbon annuals. You may be proud of your annual if it is a Blue Ribbon book printed by Herald Printing Stationery Co.
