Memoir 1 -neg? Glasford Trip On November 20, an excited, nervous crowd of people, young and old, assembled at Trivoli corners. Why were we so excited? Our high school basketball team was journeying to Glasford and of course we could not let them go unattended. Two busses had been chartered -to accommodate the reoters and at five o'clock sharp they arrived. Everyone pushed, jostled, hurried, and joked as they tried to crowd upon thc busses. Alt last we were off amid a great deal of cheering. School songs and cheers floated out upon the night air and brought many inquisitive persons to their from doors or windows to stare with open mouths at our gallant troupe. In Peoria the small bus was exchanged for a larger one, then we proceeded more comforiably upon our way. Oh, yes, the passengers of the big yellow bus were forced to walk up a moun- tain, but as several ladies only lost their rubbers and fell down a few times it was not considered so serious after all. We announced our arrival in Glasforcl with yells and songs and went at once to the high school gym. The first game of the evening was not very encouraging as T. C. H, S. second team was defeated by a score of 12 to 1. The T. C. H. S. regulars had an easy walk-away, the score standing 15 to 2 in favor of Trivoli as the final whistle blew. The return trip resembled the triumphant march of Caesar for we were mur- muring, We camel We saw! We conquered! Wfe stopped at Peoria for lunch then journeyed home a tired but happy bunch. Interclass Tournament The inter-class basketball tournament to decide the champion team of T. C. H. S. was held in the high school gym on October 20 and 21. Can friends and classmates be rivals? Indeed they can and were, as we soon found out. The first night the contestants were the Freshmen v-s. Seniors and the Sopho- mores vs. Juniors. The games were exciting and amusing. The Freshmen wrested a 14 to 12 victory over the Seniors and the Juniors defeated the Sophomores by a score of 14 to 11. C The second evening the Freshmen were defeated by the Juniors, the sco1'e standing 28 to 10, The Sophomores and Seniors played for third place and the Sopho- mores won, the score being 40 to 15. The Juniors were the champions of T. C. H. S. while the Freshmen held the honor of sec-ond place.

Two games were played with the Alumni and we were victorious both times. Much fun was had while pracgieing for these games and great rivalry was stirred up between the girls. On Friday evening we trounced upon .he floor feeling rather foolish, but never- theless determined. The game was very speedy and exciting but proved very humor- ous to the spectators. The high school girls were vietorious, the score standing 4 to 1. The second game played with :lie Alumni girls was played on December 16, and we were again victorious. The score was 15 to 4. The best game of the season was that between the Illini and Trilovhico girls. The players of the regular team were some on one side and some on the other, so of course each team was. determined to do or tie. Much exeitemeng buzzed through school and both teams were in a state of nervous prostration when they walked upon the floor to meet familiar faces, this time as rivals. The game was all thai had been expected and then some. Both sides fought hard and at the end of the first quarter the score was 0 to 0. The second quarter was even faster and more furious than t-he first and the Trilovhicos scored one basket. The second half proved more favor- able to the Illini clan and when the final whistle blew the score was 8 to 2 in favor of the Illini. The lineeup of the teams were: Illini Trilovhico Theodosia Anderson, Capt. Maigretta Morin, Capt.
