Captain Anderson 2 Adieu As the year of 1924 draws to a close, Trivoli High bids sad adieu to one of her greatest athletes, on the track, on the basket ball court, and on the baseball diamond. Captain Anderson made his first appear- ance on the basket ball floor in 1921-22. After one year of training he was placed on the regular quintet and was honored by having his name listeias a first all-star guard at the Canton District Tournament, 1922-23. The following season he was elected, unanimously, by his team-mates as their leader and captain for the season of 1923-24. Fully appreciating the honor bestowed on him, Capt. Anderson redoubled his efforts, and, as a result, he was included in, the all-star selections in all three tournaments in which Trivoli High competed. On the track, Anderson has brought back to the Trivoli High School four firsts, one second and one third, in one season's competi- tion. That he will more than duplicate this feat during the 1924 season is unquestionably predicted by those who have seen him in action. With the graduation of Capt. Anderson, Trivoli High loses one of her most valuable aces, one who has played the game clean and fair, and one who has led his team through an honorable and successful sea- son. Captain Anderson, Trivoli High appreciates the honor that has been bestowed upon her-she appreciates the clean sportsmanship dis- played by your team-she appreciates your efforts and the efforts of your fellow players-she appreciates the honor you have brought back to her. Captain Anderson, you have played the game fairly and you've given us all you had. When the gong sounds at the opening of another season, we'1l miss you, Captain Anderson, but we know that you're going onfgoing on, playing the game of life, giving the best you have and playing the game fairly and squarely. Captain Anderson we bid you farewell and in this, our parting hand-grasp, we wish you good luck and God-speed. Page Ninety-two

- -------- -are ----------- Winners of the T The highest award that any school can give her athletes is the prvilege of wearing the school letter. To earn this privilege is the aim of every athlete. Trivoli athletes who have been thus honored are: Track, 1923 Lloyd Goodman Leslie Kelly Russell VVhite Chester Anderson Basket Ball, 1924 Lloyd Goodman Capt. Chester Anderson Donald Bourne Marshall McCullough Edgar Flinn Ira Phillips Charles Hovenden Theodore Opie Bradley Track and Field Meet On May 5, the track team participated in the annual meet at Peo- ria. Seventy teams represented by over Hve hundred athletes partic- ipated in the events. It was popularly considered the largest meet of its kind in Illinois. Although all the Trivoli entries tried their best, none of them were able to place in their events. We might offer many excuses but the truth of the matter is that Trivoli was for once, com- pletely outclassed. This year, with another year's experience to our credit we hope to redeem ourselves. Peoria County Track and Field Meet 1923 Encouraged by the success gained in the Little Five meet the team now composed of Leslie Kelly, Russell White, John Williams, Chester Anderson, Ira Phillips, Lloyd Goodman and Theodore Opie, journeyed to Princeville to compete in the annual county meet. The usual group of fans accompanied the team and were pleased to see the interesting events run off with machine like precision. It was an ideal day and the track being in perfect condition, several records were shattered. Trivoli emerged into the class of record holders when Anderson leaped ten feet one inch in the standing broad jump, to tie the record which has been held by Tidd of Elmwood since 1910. Those of our boys who placed in the various events were: 880 Yard Run ..,,...................,...... Ira Phillips ............. ...... Fourth 100 Yard Dash ....... ....,....
