In accordance with the desires expressed by the Seniors of 1921, we are publishing this annual. We, as Seniors, have endeavored to standardize many things this year. First it was the pin and ring design; then we endeavored to make the cover, name, and contents of the high school annual as much a standard one as possible, and it is a High School Annual, for although the Seniors have compiled it, the members of all the classes have helped to make it a success. We wish to thank all those who have helped in this way, and also those Alumni who have furnished material. They have helped to make the 1 uscolian a book to which we may refer with pleasant memories of T. C. H. S. WILLIAM W. READ, Editor-in-Chiet.

We elected Orville Roderick, president, but he left our entering this temple of learning for the first time; hut they soon learned the high school ways. We elected Orville Roderick, President, hut he left our class at the end of the first semester, and Godwin Conrad was elected to fill his place. Several of our number left before school had been in session long. We were represented in football this year by Earl Smiley and Godwin Conrad. We had our first party the ninth of February 1919. This was a Valentine party and was held in the old high school building. When spring arrived, we had a picnic in Armstrong’s woods. Every one had a good time; even those who had the misfortune of falling into the creek. When school opened in 1919, we had gained the rank of Sophomores and were quite wise in the knowledge of high school affairs. Virginia Jones was chosen class president and John Bruhn was elected vice-president. We had more representatives in athletics this year: Donald Carrothers, Earl Smiley, and Godwin Conrad played football, and Smiley. Carrothers, and Harold Lincoln were on the track team. In December we joined with the Freshmen and gave a farewell party for Godwin Conrad. In February, we gave another farewell party for Dale Dill-man. who was moving to Mahomet. Emil Hanson, Cora and Lester Van Winkle also left the class this year. In May, we Sophomores went to the Romine woods where we had a marshmallow roast. While we were there. Miss Boyd had the misfortune to fall into a small.brook. On the last day of school we had a picnic at Patterson’s Springs. In September 1920, about forty of us entered high school as Juniors. We chose Doris Romine president and John Rruhn vice-president. Donald Carrothers and Earl Smiley played football and Carrothers. Everett Stallsworth and William Read played basketball. In October after a pep meeting we gave a party to the entire school and the Faculty. On November twenty-second, we gave a Thanksgiving party in the gym. In December we held a market in the Watnsley Store and raised a nice sum of money. One the twenty-second of April, we presented the Junior Hi-Jinx. which consisted in a farce on the play Romeo and Juliet, and a one act play 22 THE TUSCOLIAN .. � .... mill.........mm.mm.....mi «..... Rooms to Let. The annual Junior-Senior banquet wa sheld May the sixth and was quite a success. In a short time we were having the semester exams; then came the close of school. Only twenty-eight of our original number of fifty-nine remained in the Senior class in September 1921. We elected John Bruhn president and Harold Lincoln vice-president. At the next class meeting we decided to publish the annual again this year. We elected the staff officers, who, at once, began to plan for a better annual than that of last year. In September we held the first party of the year in the gym. During the second week of December, the Seniors went to Champaign to have their pictures taken for the annual. On the fifteenth of December, we were invited to a birthday party at the home of Reeta Ross, where we all had a good time. John Bruhn, Earl Smiley, and Harold Lincoln played football and John and Everett Stallsworth played basketball. I he four long years of high school have passed swiftly and soon we will be saying good-bye to Tuscola High School forever. F. W. ’22.

Dear William, Well, Bill, how is Paris? I suppose you are very busy, at present, with vour scientific experiments. I hear you are teaching the French all about radium. How is Blanche? Since your marriage, I don’t suppose that she has a very good opportunity to tell those Frenchmen the correct pronouncia-tion of their own language. The object of my letter is to let you know how the States are. and to tell you about myself. I have been enjoying myself at a game of checkers. It keeps my mind away from politics. 1 have been more successful in winning medals at my favorite pastime than in winning offices, for an honest man has little chance in obtaining an office as a statesman. In my recent tour of the United States 1 saw or heard from every member of our old class of 1922. Everett is living on a farm near Atwood. He has married Carmoleta Romine. This lovely couple is respected throughout Douglas County, and fortune has favored the Stallsworths on every hand. It is whispered about that at the next election Stally is to be made a member of the Board of Supervisors. I am sure of his success, for he is the most aggressive young farmer in that section of the corn belt. Carmoleta informed me that Doris was an architect in Chicago, and I did not lose the opportunity of calling on her. She is very prominent, and one of the best known women in her line of business. I met Frances Wolever in Urbana where she is an English teacher in the U. of 1. I must confess, William, that I was quite taken away with her beauty but to marry her would he quite out of the question; she has a splendid, active career before her. lohn Bruhn has escaped the ties of matrimony so far, but he has built a beautiful home in East St. Louis where he made a fortune from a new improvement on cue tips. I found out that Ruth Monger was in that vicinity; but you know all about that affair. It’s too bad she has decided to die an old maid. There is some hope for John, however, which he keeps burning in a correspondence with the beautiful Helen lleacock. At present, Helen is finishing her greatest movie play, “Why Turn Out the Light?” She found time a few weeks ago to write to John from Los Angeles, and the poor man’s heart has been in a flutter ever since. Anna Smith is sharing the honors which Earl Smiley has received from his reckless driving and record-breaking stunts on the Indiana race tracks. 24 THE TUSCOLIAN Byrle Lewis has graduated recently from the E. Burnhams Beauty School. It is reported that she taught them touches on “La figure” which heretofore had been unknown. Helen Scheideman has been advertising in the county papers an article. “How I Reduced.” She still weighs two hundred five pounds; hut she declares that her weight is so light in comparison with her former weight, that she believes her invention is the only sure and guaranteed method of disposing of surplus flesh. When I visited Mr. H. H. Kirkpatrick, who. by the way, is still Superintendent of our high school, he informed me that two of our classmates were teaching there. Fae Helm has charge of the American History classes and Florence Bell is the head of the Physics department. Each of the girls understands her business thoroughly, but one man stands between them. He is Harold Lincoln, who has purchased a site opposite the building, so that lit may watch all of their movements: Florence with one eye, and Fae with the other. Cozetta is hot on the trail of J. H., who is now the worlds most accomplished pugilist. When I was in Camargo, I saw a sign which read: “Brooks. Foley, and Hunt, Matrimonial Specialists.” I ambled over and was greatly surprised when Gladys not recognizing me asked: “Where does she live? When is_______?” just then Pauline and Leona came and I was recognized (I was rescued), Gladys begged my pardon and invited me to stay a while, and be entertained. I certainly was entertained, for they understand the art of true hostesses. You see. they were trained at the expense of their former husbands. In Decatur I found Charles Innis and his wife, formerly Miss Hallie Cox. 1 hey are living happily and enjoying an income from her handsome estate. Miss Mary Larmore never recovered fully from the shock of this marriage, and she declares that all men are scalawags with little thought of the heartbreaks that they cause. Miss Reeta Ross lives with her. and she also had an affair of the heart with that lucky Innis. Mary Belles and Edith Roderick live in Bloomington. I am going there now. I his affair that I am carrying on my shoulders is very delicate and will have to be performed in regular romantic style: that is by using the ladder and an upstairs window about midnight. I think that her name will be Mrs. Edith Richards before long. I will let you know the result the next time I write. Your friend, classmate, and well-wisher, HARLAND RICHARDS, (Bott). H.

Xo longer did we belong to the “grades” for we had attained the height of Freshmen. We felt that we possessed great dignity. It was soon evident, however, that we had dignity in name only, for we still retained our “childish chatter.” I he class soon settled and within a few weeks we had held a meeting and chose Karl Woods, president; Max Wayne Vest, vice president, and Esth er Bruhn treasurer. At the end of the first month we had tired of Latin and algebra; so our first party was planned. It happened that the date which we desired was taken by the Sophomores. In order that they might not have the first party of the year, we brought about a compromise and combined the two parties. The Freshman class furnished Max Vest for football, and Glenn I hompson and Fred Williams for basketball. The two girl’s basketball teams won every game that they played. A wiener roast and a St. Patrick’s party were the high lights in the remainder of our freshman year. The following September, another step was taken toward the Senior dignity. One year had taught us that dignity was possessed only by Seniors. We chose Harriet Michener president, Fred Williams vice-president, •ind Helen Hollingsworth treasurer. We increased our number of athletes this year, and furnished for football: Max Vest, Charles Monroe, Dwight Moody, Fred Kahn, and Karl Woods. For basketball we furnished Ben Lcutz, t harles Monroe, Glenn Thompson, Joe Busbey and Fred Williams, We gave a big Hallowe’en party to the football squad, who said it took the cake. W hen the ground was first covered with snow, we took a wild bobsled ride. In the spring, occasional picnics and hikes comprised our social activities. After a strenuous vacation we gathered in the assembly, and took our places in the Junior rows. We were curious about the new teachers, but unlike the Freshies, we concealed our curiosity. We were still striving to attain dignity. The officers of the class were elected. Irene Dickinson, president; Fred Williams, vice president; and Max Vest, treasurer. We chose for our advisors Mr. Hiers annd Miss Birchard. Our social activities were not so numerous this year. A taffy pull was planned, but it so happened that the Faculty wished to give a party during the same week; so our taffy pull was postponed. The burning of our school building caused a change in our President’s plans, for she had contrived many new diversions for her “flighty flock.” The class play selected was “Hurry, Hurry, Hurry:' Plans are under way for the Junior reception, and we hope to end our Junior year with a good record.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1924 On September 6th 1920, the Gass of 1924 ventured into the high school world. We learned many surprising things those first few days; among them the old saying “When in Rome do as the Romans do.’’ In due time we had our first class meeting, at which we elected Floyd Miller president and Grace Lollar secretary and treasurer. We chose Mr. May and Mrs. Flack as our Guardian Angels. Our first social event was a wiener-roast at Patterson Springs. In spite of the rumor that the boys of the more venturesome Class of 1923 were going to try to frighten us, we had a very nice party. Semester exams soon came along and proved to be cpiite an ordeal for some of us, since it was our first experience in such important business. However, we studied very hard and made a good average considering the size of the class. After some coaxing, Father May allowed us to use the gym for a party, but the weather man failed us, and it rained in torrents. The few who came, however, enjoyed the evening. In February, our president moved away and we chose Cecil Green to fill his place and elected Amelia Schroeder vice-president. Then things went on in their regular routine, broken only by occasional lectures from the 500 members of our dear (??) faculty. After we had passed through another ordeal of semester exams, we put aside all childish ideas in order to become Sophomores. On September 5th, 1921, after we had put aside completely (??) all childish Freshie habits and so on—we returned to enter the dignified Sophomore rows. We soon called a class meeting and elected Emma Hoel president. Edith Hance vice-president, Edward Bailey treasurer, and Cleo Hine secretary. Miss Wiseman and Miss Haynie were chosen as our class advisors. Just as we were beginning to settle down to work our building burned; then after a vacation of about a week we assembled at the Court House. After a few parties had interrupted our studies, we again faced the ordeal of semester exams. Most of us passed them with hard study, and thus put behind us a vear and a half of high school life. E.

The first day a few of us were puzzled somewhat as to which clas5r« u we were supposed to be in. but comparatively few mistakes were Tiade. One of our members. Sherman Dobbins, has the distinction of being the smallest pupil known to enter the T. H. S. He is even shorter than the Sophomore twins. On the seventh of September we had a class meeting and chose Miss Pringle and Mr. McWherter as our class advisors. The meeting was called also to elect class officers; but after we had elected Juanita Haney president the class broke loose, and the meeting became uncontrollable. The next dav. however, our president held the class down long enough for us to elect Eddie Scheideman vice-president and Maynard Hine secretary and treasurer. We also chose silver and blue for our class colors. The Freshman class ranks about third in their studies. In September our class averaged . 95; in October 81.1; but in November we moved up. It is interesting to note that in September of six pupils in the high school who received “.Vs. three of them were Freshies. In October three pupils received straight “A” and one of these was a Freshman. In November. December. and January about one-third of the “A” students were Freshies. In football, out of a group of about eight Freshmen who were trving out for the team, two were successful. Charles Bostic played full-back and Carl Gross played at guard. These two men played for all that was in them, all of the time. They fought as long as they could that they might make Tuscola victorious. Besides these two players, there were other Freshmen who did their best when given their chance. In basketball seven or eight Freshies tried for the team, and our two football stars, Carl Gross and Charles Bostic, were successful again. Both played at forward. Their speed and skill has helped to win manv games, for they both have the habit of hitting the basket. We are very proud of our athletes. Late in September, the Freshmen went out to Kaskaskia for a wiener-roast. Everybody enjoyed himself until the weather chased us home. After that, however, we settled down to work. Several class meetings were held, but most of them were called by the Principal or Superintendent on matters of general importance. As the new year approached, the Freshman class began to awaken again and after the holidays they had a party in the g m. Every member of the class, who went, enjoyed himself to the utmost. I he final examinations for the first semester interrupted our activities for a time, but we are gradually regaining our normal gait. M.

F. E. B. ’22. THE TUSCOLIAN ( ) HISTORY OF THE SCHOOLS OF TUSCOLA On July 9. 1859. three men. Elias S. Terry. William P. Mulholland and Pembroke S. Cornelius laid the foundations for what is now the City of Tuscola. At this time, there were no buildings, dwelling houses or improvements whatsoever, with the exception of the Illinois Central Railroad. The present site of the City was covered with prairie grass, weeds, and was virtually a swamp. The town grew rapidly, and in a short time it became apparent that there must be some means of education for the children of the community. It was then that Tuscola's first school, a one story frame building, was erected. It was loca ed on Daggy street, immediately east of the Baptist Church, where the residence of A1 Beall now stands. Through the rapid growth of the town, the building soon I ecame too small to accommodate the pupils, and a two-story building was erected on Xiles Avenue. The construction of this building was very poor, and rap idly disintegrated, the walls sinking, window frames and glass breaking, and the stairway becoming tottering and dangerous. The building, therefore w as condemned and torn down. The citizens of ;h l ring to establish better schools than could be obtained under the State school law. which was inadequate, applied to the Legislature for a special charter. At their behest, the Legislature passed a Special ci. establishing Tuscola Union School District, which included the City and surrounding territory, comprising about nine sections in alL In 1871, this district constructed a brick building, made up of three stories and a basement, on its school grounds on Xiles Avenue. This building was constructed on the site of the building that had 1'een torn down, and its cost was approximately forty-five thousand dollars. It was in constant nse from the date of its construction until October 12. 1921 when the entire building w as destroyed by fire. In addition to this building the district some years before had constructed a ward building in the north part of the city to accommodate the children of the first four grades. A building was also added to the brick building on Xiles Avenue, which contained a gymnasium, domestic science and manual training departments, and heating plant. For manv rears, the high school conducted in the building on Xiles Avenue was the only high school in Douglas County, and many off the business men and women of this section off the country obtained their education in that school. About six years ago. a township high school was established here, but alter it had been in existence for about a year the district was dissolved. Tire schools had grown by this time until there were about seven hundred pupils. It became evident that there was a .crying need for better facilities with which to educate them. niiiiiiuniiniiHmiiHiinwniiiHiiiHiiiiMniiiniiiwHnmmniiimiinii 61 THE TUSCOLIAN An election was held in December, 1919, on the proposition to establish a community high school. This proposition carried, and the district was bonded in the sum of one hundred sixty-five thousand dollars for the purpose of procuring money with which to construct a building and equip the same. Teachers were elected for the school year, and temporary quarters in which to conduct school were rented from the Tuscola Union School District. Two entire blocks known as the Johnson-Riley site, situated at the corner of Sale Street and Niles Avenue, were purchased for the site of the high school, and the construction of the building was begun in the summer of 1921. The general contract for this building was let to James P. Moore head, of Tuscola. The architectural work was done by Liese Ludwick. Architects of Danville, Illinois, and the legal work performed by Chadwick Chadwick, and W. W. Reeves of this city. On the 12th day of October. 1921, the large three story building in which the high school, and the grades for the children who lived on the south side of the city, were being conducted, was totally destroyed by fire. I he County Board of Douglas County, Illinois, generously rented the lower floor of the Court House to the high school district, and the high school is now being maintained there. An election was held for a separate building for the grade school, and such building is now being erected on the old site on Niles Avenue. At the present time there are one hundred sixty three pupils in high school. This school is an accredited institution, and the graduates thereof are admitted without examination to practically any college or university in the country. Much credit should be given to the members of the Board of Education of this district, which is comprised of Messrs. George E. Black, Carroll C. Jones, George L. England, C. E. Hitch, and Dr. George H. It is a far cry from the little frame school house in which the children of the pioneers of Douglas County, were educated to the magnificent edifices which are now being erected for the purpose of educating the children of the present generation.

The corner stone was laid near the west door of the high school building which faces Sale Street. A box was enclosed in the stone, which contained a history of the Tuscola Schools, names of the school board, a list of the pupils and the faculty, the names of the builders, some old coins and many other papers, which may be of interest to future generations. The corner stone was laid by the Knights of Pythias. Grand ( hancellor S. Y. Whitlock, of this city had charge of the ceremony, assisted by the Grand Officers of the State of Illinois, who came for this occasion. T he lion. Frank Commerford of Chicago delivered the oration. The Tuscola band assisted by the Knights of Pythias band of Ridge Farm furnished the music. The parade formed at the old high school building on Niles Avenue, at 1:30 p. m. headed by the bands. School was dismissed and all students and instructors marched in the parade. The following orders also took part in the parade: the Knights of Pythias, the American Legion and the G. A. R. PROGRAM.

Order was kept although with difficulty. The study hall bell rang, and we walked downstairs as we had the day before during the fire drill; as it was “Fire I revention Week” we were expecting the signal at any minute As soon as we reached the outside, we looked up and saw an entirely too real fire gaining great headway in the belfry. Many were astonished and near y every one began to feel shaky, for they had thought it was only a fire drill. Some of the boys ran back upstairs and threw our wraps out of'the windows. Few books were saved and very little furniture, for not more t tan seven or eight minutes after we were outside, the belfry, which contained the old town clock, fell through to the next lower floor. The flames burned everything in the building and when they had finish-e their rapid and furious work, the brick walls looked like skeletons, strip-pec o. e er piece of wood and plaster. The fire department did what it could but the building had to go. No one knows how the fire began. It Vas rumored that some people went to a clairvoyant concerning its origin, and that she told them its history in rather distinct terms, but little reliance is put in that story. During the general exultation because every one had escaped the word was given around that Mr. Bird, who with some other men had gone to the third floor of the building, had not been seen since. This turned the rejoicing into tragedy, and because of this, our whole tide of memory of the fire has been changed. He had gone to the third floor and must have'been caught when the belfry crashed through to the floor beneath. B.

THE PEUERIXOR CLUB The high school had been in its new home but a short time when Mr. Hiers decided that we needed some clubs. Things were started by calling together all the Junior and Senior students with an average of B or higher. The newly formed clubs then decided to give a Hallowe’en party to the high school students. This was a success and created much interest in the organizations. The charter members are: John Bruhn, Everett Stallsworth, Max Wayne Vest, Harold Lincoln, William Read, Donald Rose, and Harland Richards. The following have been added since the organization: C ecil Green, Maynard Hine, Horace Hackett, Orville Foster, Lewis Consoer. The following officers were elected: Harold Lincoln, president; Donald Rose, vice-president; William Read, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Heirs and Mr. Kirkpatrick were made our sponsors. We held a public debate at the Chamber of Commerce on April the 7th. on the question: “Resolved that Tuscola should own and operate its own heating plant.” Mr. Wilson of the Review, Mr. Duhamel of the Journal, and Mayor Warren were the judges. H. R. ’22. THE HI-Y The ?Ti-Y was organized shortly after school started this year. Max Wayne Vest was elected president, John Bruhn. vice-president and Donald Rose was chosen secretary. Reverend Lloyd of the Baptist Church was chosen leader for the year. Quite a few good meetings were held during the first semester, but after the beginning of the second semester, the meetings were discontinued on account of too many other activities. The Hi-Y sent a good delegation to the Eighth Annual Older Boy’s Conference at Decatur on the last of November. These boys brought back a good report of the conference. Max Wayne Vest was chosen vice-president of the conference for next year, which is to be held at Peoria. D. J. R. ’23. THE GIRLS’ GYM CLUB The Girl’s Gym Club was organized in the school year of 1920-21, by the physical training instructor. Miss Opal C. Cunningham. At the first meeting it was decided that only two officers were necessary. Kate Wams-ley was elected president and Frances Fullerton treasurer. At the next meeting the name N. B. B. O. O., was chosen. They selected a small gold pin for the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores and a silver pin of similar design was chosen for the Freshmen. During the football season of 1920 the girls served eats to the players 68 THE TUSCOLIAN ...... ................ after each game on the home field. In December we gave a banquet in honor of our team. In the spring of 1921 a girl’s basketball team was organized. The Seniors and Juniors formed one team with Helen Scheideman captain, and the Sophies and Freshies another team with Edith Hance captain. On April 1, 1921, the operetta “In India” was given. At a business meeting in May. Doris Romine was elected president and Frances Fullerton treasurer for the coming year. The club was under the supervision of Miss Ada Donahue during the first semester. The activities were much the same as those of the preceding year. The girls served eats to the football players after the games, and at the end of the football season they gave a banquet to the team. Many hikes have been taken this year, and those who are fond of walking have had a good time. The hikers held a picnic in Hackett’s grove one evening. The club is now planning to organize a girl’s basketball team. G. H. ’22. THE FRUNARLEA CTJ B The girls of the two upper classes of the Tuscola Community High School, who had an average of 80 and above met on Wednesday, November 16, 1921 to elect officers for the Literary Society. The following officers were elected: President, Ruth Monger; vice president. Clarabelle Henson: secretary, Wilna Tresenriter; treasurer, Ruth Gates. The meetings are held on Wednesday during school hours every two weeks. At the next meeting we decided that Sophomore girls who qualified and who expressed a desire to belong to the club might join. We also appointed a committee to chose a name for the club. At the next meeting the club voted to accept the name “Frunarlea.” Different girls have charge of the program each time. The next meeting, in charge of Mary Larmore and Estella Roy. was especially interesting from a literary point of view. Edgar Allen Poe was the subject of the meeting. At our next meeting Florence Hell presented an interesting talk on “The Development and Growth of the Drama.” 1 he meeting of February 8. 1922 was almost entirely musical. Ferris Morgan gave a violin solo and then a history of the violin. Doris Drink-water gave a piano solo after which she gave a very complete history of the piano. Our next program consisted of the History of American Literature. The meetings of this club will stop with the closing of school. Although we shall be very sorry to lose our Senior girls we shall reorganize again when school opens next year. M. M. ’23 70 THE TUSCOLIAN ..................................................... PIN AND RING DESIGN Heretofore in T. H. S., there has been much commotion among the (classes expecting to graduate as to the design of their pins and rings. We, the Seniors, have solved the problem at last. When we were Juniors, Mr. May would not allow us to order our pins and rings according to the estab-Jished custom; so this year we came back as Seniors and put our heads together and decided to ask the other classes to co-operate with us to standardize the design if possible. The plan was put before the lower classes and they readily agreed to it. A committee was chosen from each class which met with several class advisors. Representatives of several reliable firms displayed their samples to us. One evening we were called upon to make a final decision and the design below was the most popular. It was designed especially for the Tuscola Community High School. The numerals will be changed each year to represent the class. Now we may say none too boastfully that we have helped to ave at least the next three classes the trouble of selecting a design. May it be the permanent emblem of T. C. H. S. C. L. I. ’22. 72 THE TUSCOLIAN ................................... minim SOCIETY JUNIOR RECEPTION According to the usual custom, the Juniors entertained the Senior Class of 1921 with a reception and banquet, May 6, 1921, at the Odd Fellows Hall. When the guests had arrived, we passed into the dining room, through a quaint Dutch windmill. The walls and fan of the mill were decorated in gold, white, and purple, to represent the colors of the two classes. A low white fence extended from the mill to the sides of the room, and many tulips of various hues grew along the fence. When every one had found his place, aided by small Dutch shoes, which served as place cards, we took our seats at the small tables. Each plate was guarded by a tiny Dutch doll. ' he snappers which contained hats and comic verses afforded much amusement. The elaborate and toothsome menu was served by some of the girls of the Freshman class. 'Flic orchestra, which was at one end of the hall under a canopy of lilacs, furnished some very lovely music during the banquet. The toasts followed immediately after the banquet. The plan of the windmill was carried out in the toast scheme which follows: The Axle............................Mr. May. The Fans.............................Forrest Lollar. The Squeak..............................John Bruhn. I he Grease..................Mr. Schmaelzle. I he Millstone................Doris Romine. 1 he Mill....................Kate Wamsley. After the toasts we joined in singing our High School Song, and soon every one “went on his way rejoicing.” SOCIETY NEWS In spite of our various handicaps, we have had many social events throughout the year. During the later part of September, our “highly re- -peited Freshmen laid aside their high school cares and went to Kaskaskia for a wiener roast. From various reports, they must have had an enjoyable time until rain clouds appeared on the horizon, and the terrified “children” fled for home. 1 he next society event of note was a Sophomore “wiener roast” in Rice’s woods. The hot-dogs turned out to he beef. However, when supper time came, everyone had a jolly time roasting the beef on long sticks held over the fire. After a number of high school parties, the Sophomores again broke the monotony of their daily life by having a party in the gym. They had planned MMI .......................IIUIM......................................... iiminiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiniiiiiiimiiiimimii THE TUSCOLIAN lilliiiiiiimiiiililliliiiiiimiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiKiliiiiliiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiMniiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiii 73 iiiimniiMiiiiiiiiti:iiiiiiiiimmi;iimiiiii!iiiiiimiitn to have it before, but unfortunately the building burned just before the date set for the event, and they were forced to put it off until a later date. The Juniors planned a taffy pull but they agreeably gave it up when the Faculty made it known that they wished to give a Christmas party to the school. The Seniors have had a few parties this year. Most of the remaining lime we have spent very diligently “pegging away” at our books, and enjoying all the fun that goes with the ordinary school life. OUR HALLOWE’EN PARTY At the time of the organization of the Literary and Debating Clubs, the idea of giving a Hallowe’en party to the rest of the high school was proposed. We readily accepted it. It was decided that it should be a masquerade and the date was set for Friday night, October the twenty-eighth. The evening was a favorable one for a party and the greater part of the high school students “turned out.” The gym was artistically decorated with autumn leaves, cornstalks, and grinning pumpkin faces. Over each of the doors were placed two pumpkins on which the class numerals were carved The Freshman class numeral shone forth as usual from its green background. The costumes of the people were varied and some were very humourous. Mr. Hiers judged them and awarded prizes to three of the masqueraders. The first went to Louise Cain who was dressed as an old maid. She walked about swinging her purse, while she kept herself cool with a small fan. 1 he second prize was awarded to a very feeble old man, who trembled and shook as he was asked to unmask. When he stood unmasked, everyone was surprised to find John Dressback. The third prize went to Irene Dickinson, who was dressed as a little colored girl with a very black face. 1 fer hair was done it]) in little pigtails all over her head. A guessing game followed the awarding of the prizes. Every one unmasked when his name was guessed. After everyone had unmasked, we scattered to the various booths situated about the room to have our futures told by fortune-tellers, or we went fishing in the pond, or we bobbed for apples. Another amusement was the ghost cavern. Here one entered the land of ghosts and went thru many strange and terrifying experiences before returning at last to find himself still living on this earth. A short pantomine was given on the stage in which the futures of several people were disclosed as their respective ghosts were seen to pass in front of a witch, who sat in her dimly lighted cave. Immediately after the pantomine, came one of the most important events of the evening, namely, the feed. We passed in two lines to the basement where we were served with pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and apple cider. After the feed, the crowd began to disperse and soon the gym was left empty.

He informed us that every one was to give and to receive a present; so each of us drew a slip of paper on which was the name of the person for whom we were to get a present. The time of the party was set for Monday evening, December 19th. W hen every one had arrived, we formed in a long procession and paraded about the gym in a grand march. Finally we divided into two groups; one group represented Harvard College; the other the University of Illinois. The rooters for Illinois gathered at the south end of the gym and Harvard took the opposite end. Then the greatest battle of the season opened under the direction of coach McWherter. The contest began with a hurdle race. In this race, the contestants emptied a glass of water by the teaspoonful into another glass. The Illinois team won this race. The athletes were Charles Innis and Leona Brooks. The gym rocked with cheers led by the “Honorable Harland Richards.” Another contest was a shot put; the shot was a paper sack of wind. The pie eating contest was very exciting; but the last, the relay race, was the most exciting. This was won by Lottie Brannan of the Harvard team. Although Harvard made quite a few points, she was not able to surpass the Illinois warriors. The coveted silver-plated gold aluminum tin cup was awarded to the overjoyed G. S. H. Richards, who accepted it with an elegant speech. Each one now drew a “meal ticket” on which was written the name of an animal. Every one went to the place which corresponded to the name written on his slip of paper. Then Santa Claus came with his presents which he passed out to us. We animals stayed in our respective places until called upon to receive our treat. At which time we imitated the animal that we represented in order to receive our treat. If we made enough noise, we were presented with 311 apple and a pretty stripped candy cane. After we ate these, we gathered in a group, and to show that our lungs were still good, we cheered our basketball team. 1 hen amid cries of “Merry Christmas” we set out for home in order that we might get a few hours of sleep before taking up the strenuous duties of school life again. SENIOR SOCIETY NEWS Shortly after school began, we Seniors decided to begin our social activities by giving the first party of the year. Accordingly at the time set, which was a beautiful night in late September, the greater part of the Senior class assembled in the gymnasium. We spent the early part of the evening listening to the music from a phonograph, playing games and having a general good time. Suddenly the most pleasing news came to us that we were to have a wedding there. To have a very successful wedding, there must be a THE TUSCOLIAN 75 IIIIIIIIIIIMHMHIUronflintlllllllllllllllllllllNIIIRUlHIIIIIIISIIIIliWUllllllllllltlUM bride and groom. We drew lots to see “who was to be which;” the lots fell to Harold Lincoln and Miss Pringle. The preacher and attendants were chosen in the same way. The rest of us were witnesses. Immediately following the ceremony, the bridal party and their guests descended to the basement where light refreshments were served. Not long after this the couple and their guests departed and the party was at an end. All went well with little or no change in the ordinary humdrum of school life, until the fire destroyed our edifice of learning; then we were forced to go “courting.” We were just getting settled again when some white envelopes appeared, and we read that all Seniors were invited to a birthday party at the home of Reeta Ross. This event was to celebrate one of her birthdays, but no one has been able to find just how “young” she was. The first part of the evening was spent in listening to a few selections on the piano and Victrola; then we started to play some games. The games were lively and everyone had a good time until two white aproned figures appeared and announced that eating was in order. After the eats, it was suggested that we give the futures of the members of the class. Among the futures predicted, Charles Innis had the job of the Statue of Liberty, Helen Heacock was pictured as an old maid school teacher, our hostess was setting the fashions in Paris, while William Read confessed his intention of living a quiet life in the north part of town. We played winkum until we decided that it was time to go home and departed about midnight. M. L. ’22.

The following is a synopsis of the play: The action of the play takes place at the Rip Van Winkle Inn in the Cat-skill Mountains. I he plot has to do with a struggle for supremacy in a furniture factory between Ted. the rightful heir, and Ira Stone, who is trying to gain control of the business. Ted is assisted by Mollie Macklin, the house keepei of the Rip an AN inkle Inn. The annual meeting of the stockholders is held, and by a clause in the by-laws the register must be signed by Ted before midnight. 1 ed fails to come, and finally a young engineer is persuaded to impersonate Ted. After the register has been signed, Ted arrives bringing with him his bride. Mollie hides them in the basement.

Mollie remains in the rooms with the lights turned low. A man enters through a window. The burglar escapes with shares of the stock. A mysterious deaf old farmer appears. He is found to be a lawyer in disguise.

Mr. Hooker, a weathly man came home to tell his wife that his firm had failed and that they might lose their home. She suggested that they should use the money which his sister had willed to Floy. He explained the terms of the will, which were that if Floy should be engaged at the age of twenty-one and married at twenty-two she should have the money; otherwise it would go to an Old Ladies Home. Steve is also informed of the will and as Floy is to be twenty-one the next day. the family all set about to have her engaged by midnight. A number of boy friends are invited in to dinner, among them l ed Stone a football star, who was very ill at ease in society. He proposes to Floy at Steve’s request, but really falls in love with Rita the maid. Alosius Bartholomew a college professor also tries his luck with Floy, but he also is turned down. Letita Brown, a languishing society girl, is another guest who was sometimes very amusing. At last, however, the proper man arrives on the scene and Jack Crandall comes to claim Floy just at the hour of midnight. The play was a grand success and those who attended wrere well repaid. M.

OUR JANITORS Cleanliness is next to Godliness; therefore our janitors are placed among the school gods which always are remembered by the ex-students. Mr. Kruse, you have stood faithfully to your broom and dust pan throughout the term. Many times has your patience been tried because of discarded notes and gum. Even the fire did not drive you from our littered trail. Your vigilance was only increased to keep neat our rented quarters and when the term is over, you can look back on a clean trail. Mr. Nelson, you also have faithfully wielded the long handled bristles, but it was not meant that you should remain with us long. ()ur long suffer ing schoolhouse at last succumbed to the power of the flames. Only then were you forced to leave us to guard against the dust, gum, and paper evil in the grades, whose connection with us was severed. Occasionally your cheerful face is seen within our portals. By this we know that you are still on duty. C.

H. S. Although football started in T. H. S. in 1895, the first teams to earn special attention were those of 1903 and 1904. They were not defeated either year, and played for the State championship both ye rs, but lost each year, The team of 1903 was the best team that Tuscola ever had. That year, Tuscola played and won from the Shortridge High School of Indianapolis. The players at that time were: Will McCarty, Paul McKee, Bert Baker, Fred Wilson, and Mack Rice. McKee, Parker, Rice, and Wilson are now-dead. Other players of that team were Tom Wright, Percy Jones, Grover Helm, Shorty McCormick, Don Gregg, Carl Goodman, and Curt Smith. In 1906, the team again played a full schedule without allowing their goal line to be crossed. In 1905, 1907 and 1908, Tuscola lost tw o games each year. 1910 produced another championship team. Tuscola played against teams such as Decatur, Champaign, Kankakee, and Danville. In 1911 the team w-as weaker and did not have such a successful season. Thus the years have passed, one year being a little more or less successful. but Tuscola always has produced teams of which to be proud. In 1916 the team lost only one game. No exact record can be found for some of these years; however, Tuscola will always remember the w'ork of men, such as Albert Yeaw, Clarence Hacket, Harry Rahn, Harold Stalker, Cecil Abrams, Lloyd Dickinson, Plum Winn, Harold Dillman, Earl Heacock, and Albert Bostic, and many others. In 1920 our team w-as handicapped but Captain Bostic and his men came through with only five games lost. BASEBALL. In 1914 or 1915, Tuscola had a good baseball team. It was coached by Harry King. The players were Burleigh Hunt, Clarence Hacket, Jay Haw-kins, Glen Hunt, Guy Dickinson, Pat Cosier, Walter Bruhn, and Lewis. Walter Bruhn was the pitcher, and a left handed one at that. Burleigh Hunt is now dead. He was the best man on the team, and was the catcher and a great hitter. One time when Areola played here, the score w-as in favor of the Arco-lians by a margin of tw'o runs. Tuscola had two men on bases when Hunt came to bat. He put the first ball pitched to him over the fence, thereby winning the game. TRACK. In 1899, Tuscola produced her first track team. The members of that team were: Lester Smith, Bruce Sloan, Ed Bailey, Frank Sluss, Frank McKee, Ben Overman, and Wilbur Goodspeed. In 1904, Tuscola won the Eastern Illinois Interscholastic Meet and Relay Race. In the four follow-ing years, Tuscola won second place. The relay .............................................................Ill.IIIIIIIIIIWHIIIII.Illllll.mill.Ill.IIIIIIIII1IIIIIII mm,iii!ii! THE TUSCOLIAN ................................. ■ummmmmmmm 85 teams of 1904, 1905 and 1908 deserve special mention. Floyd Perry, Ernest Stevenson, and Arthur Bol'man were great track men. Harold Stalker was also a great track man and won many medals and cups, Paul McKee scored a good many points for Tuscola in his time and also won some gold medals at big track meets. In the field events, we remember, Grover Helm, Bert Parker, Dave Featheroff, Ray Shirk, and Earl Parker. BASKETBALL. In 1908 a basketball team was organized which made a very good showing. Tuscola was handicapped in basketball, until the gym was built. There was no place for the boys to practice or to hold games except in rooms downtown. In the last three years since the gym was opened, greater interest has been shown by the students and the public; and basketball is becoming one of the most interesting features in our athletics. C.

The Tuscola High School football team lias finished a successful season, winning six games and losing two. To all those who saw our team go down to defeat in our second game. 1 need not tell the story, for the best team did net win. Our other defeat was handed us by a superior team and there is no disgrace whatever in losing to a good team. There are very few people who realize what it means to make a football season a success. First of all we must have a foundation and pivot about which to work and turn. This place must go to our coach V. K. McWherter, who has drilled and worked with our boys in order that we might call our season a success, and that our team might finish with the long end of the score. With seven “letter men” as a nucleus, Coach McWherter welded together a combination which worked so well that we should give him much credit for his work; but we must not overlook Captain Tresenriter, who proved to be an able leader for his team. Four men will be lost by graduation, but we feel confident that there will be others to take their places. ARTHUR 0; TUSCOLA 17. On September 24th. the husky Arthur aggregation invaded Tuscola with the hope of taking the scalp of the McWherterites back to the southern town, but our boys, however, quickly changed their minds for them. Touchdowns by Vest and Smiley and a drop-kick by Bostic constituted the scoring of the game which proved successful enough to keep the bacon in Tuscola. NEWMAN 20; TUSCOLA 7. The following Saturday our boys journeyed to Newman where they succeeded in keeping the Xewmanites in hot water for almost all the game. The road trip seemed tiresome to the boys and they were slow to start the scoring machine. Newman scored early in the game, but failed to kick the goal. Tuscola started the second half with a rush and a few minutes later. Lincoln carried the hall over for our only touch-down, and Bostic’s trusty toe placed us on the long end of the 7 to 6 score. With two minutes to play Newman Lcga.i the ae ial game, which spelled defeat for our boys. Newman pushed over one touch-down which was followed quickly by another. • It was. indeed, a hard game to lose. ATWOOD 0; TUSCOLA 6. Showing a great improvement over the playing of the Saturday before, the Old Gold and Black squad succeeded in scalping the husky Atwood ag- THE TUSCOLIAN 89 gregation by the score of 6 to 0. Our scoring machine lost no time in getting to work, and after the beautiful forty yard run by Bostic, the hall was placed in the Atwood danger zone from which Vest carried the ball over on the next play. This was all the scoring that was done, and the ball was kept near the middle of the field during the rest of the game. The playing of Ware featured for Atwood, while that of Vest and Bostic featured for Tuscola. VILLA GROVE 0; TUSCOLA 27. Although it was a bad day, a large band of rooters accompanied the team to the Railroad City where they added another scalp to their belt, by defeating Villa Grove 27 to 0. A light rain had fallen which made the field rather slick but our speedy backs tore holes in their line and gained almost at will. The playing of Bostic who scored two touch downs, and made three out of four possible chances at the goal was a feature. Consoer and Vest each scored a touch-down. During the second half the coach played the second team men. MGNTICELLO 13; TUSCOLA 0. The Monticello High School team was too heavy for our team, and for the second time this season we were defeated. Playing under a handicap, as a result of injuries, T. H. S. could not stop the heavy Monticello backs. The first touch down came in the first half of the first quarter as the result of straight line plunging. The second was made in the last minute of play by the aerial route with a thirty yard pass. The game was much better and harder fought than the score indicates. SHELBYVILLE 0; TUSCOLA 30. The following Saturday found the T. II. S. eleven down in Shelby Countv fighting for all they were worth. Only a few rooters accompanied the team, but they ran rough shod over the Shelbyville eleven from the first quarter to the last whistle, and the Tuscola goal line was never in danger. Bostic Lincoln, and Monroe divided the thirty points among themselves while a Shelbyville back had to fall on the ball back of their own goal line for a safety. MAHOMET 0; TUSCOLA 28. The T. H. S. warriors added another scalp to their belts by trimming the Mahomet lads by the score of 28 to 0. During the first quarter the teams battled on even terms, but as the second quarter opened, our scoring machine began to spell defeat for the Mahomet team. End runs and off tackle smashes advanced the ball to the Mahomet three yard line, and Bostic carried it illliillBIIIBilllllllllllillllll THE TUSCOLIAN 90 over for the first marker. During the second half, the T. H. S. warriors completely out-classed the Mahomet team, crossing their goal line three more times. The outstanding feature of the game was a 70 yard run by Vest through the entire opposing team, for a touch-down. Rahn at center played a fine game, and stopped each play directed at his part of the line. The other men in the line opened great holes for our speedy half-backs, Bostic and Lincoln. The scoring was divided between Bostic and Vest; each got two markers. TUSCOLA AND SULLIVAN. Owing to weather conditions we were forced to cancel the game with Sullivan. TUSCOLA 7; ARCOLA 0. 1 he highly praised Areola eleven, accompanied by several hundred rooters invaded Tuscola with full confidence in their Purple and White team, and with the hope of taking the scalp of the Tuscola eleven back with them to the southern town; but silently the Tuscolians began to murmur one to the other, “Tis meet, our meat”; and they fell upon the team from Areola and slew some and bunged up the rest. And it came to pass that the word was not telephoned back to the town from which they came to say that the caravan, which had come to Tuscola had lost, (even that which they hath and that which they hath not). Still the score remained; seven for the men of the North and nothing for the men of the South. In other words, Tuscola had defeated Areola seven to nothing. To begin the tragedy, Bostic kicked off to the Areola ten yard line, where Areola fumbled, and Tuscola recovered the ball. On the next play, Vest made a long end run, and from this position, Lincoln made the required touchdown. Bostic then added another point to the score by making the goal. I bus was the scoring of the entire game, although both teams were close to the other’s goal line many times during the first half. At the beginning of the fourth quarter. Areola started the aerial game and tried to change their score but their attempts were futile, and the climax came when Bostic intercepted a pass and ran 85 yards to a touchdown, only to be called back for an off-side play. With defeat staring them in the face. Areola tried to score, but they did not succeed, for the line held and we won. Capt. T resenriter, Bruhn, Lincoln and Smilev were playing their last game for the Old Gold and Black. iiiiiiniiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHM TtTT SEPT JO- YEWMfl V OCT. 7— (open) OCT 11 — URB TMR OCT 21— HoNTICELLO OCT. 28 — MHTTOOH Roy. 4 — V UH Grove HoY.ll- SULLlYH Y HOY. 18- HTVYOot) UoY.

I lie Basketball season, which has just been completed has been the most successful season in the history of our school. W e played twenty one games twelve of which we won. 1 he team was slow in getting started and we lost ?hree games before Coach McWhirter could smooth away the rough places; but the boys never gave up fighting and in the last part of the season they worked together like a well oiled machine. The county tourney was a complex affair and it was hard to tell which team was supreme. W e had to be content with a tie for third place, but at the district tourney at Urbana, we threw a scare into the Railroaders from the corner of the county when we played them in the semi-finals. Some of our neighbors thought we did not h.i e a basketball team but we often wonder what they thought of us at the I rbana High School when we put the skids under their much touted five. Rack of all this work was the able direction of Coach McWherter coupled le fighting spirit of the team. These two facts enabled the team to come through the season with a good record and to place second in the district tourney. CHRISMAN 35; T. H. S. 16. n December 16, we journeyed to Christman to open our basketball season. Because we were playing on a strange floor against a team in mid-season form, we were defeated. Although during the first half the team battled on even terms with Tuscola having somewhat the better of the struggle, nevertheless, Chrisman’s basket shooting allowed them to finish on the long end of the score. FIRST TEAM. NEWMAN 23; T. H. S. 21. Second Teams, Newman 12; T. H. S. 11. The Newmamtes foiled our hopes of winning the first game on our own court when they won a twin bill by small margins. The first teams put up a furious fight. Newman, however, had secured a lead which our boys could not overcome although they fought desperately to win. The first half ended 1.3-7 in Newman’s favor. Three baskets, just after the opening of the second half, tied the score and threw a scare into the Newman rooters. The score stood 21 all with one minute to play, but a long shot broke the tie and won for Newman. The remaining seconds of the game were spent with long shots, but our boys could not slip in the necescsarv counter. The seconds lost an interesting and thrilling game by one point. illllMilillMII'llllllll ..... THE TUSCOLIAN 95 iiiimiiiiitiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiuuiiiiniv VILLA GROVE 39; T. H. S. 22. The Railroaders invaded our camp and succeeded in annexing our scalp. The game was fast and furious, and as a result many fouls were called. One or two of the visitors became excited and attempted to turn the friendly encounter into a “catch as catch can” wrestling match. The three-man offense of the visitors proved disastrous to our five-man defense, and with luck going their way on long shots, the defeat is explained. Bruhn and Bostic starred for Tuscola. LONGVIEW 11; T. H. S. 29. As a rule Friday the thirteenth must be unlucky for some one. When the mercury was hovering around the zero mark, we journeyed to Longview, broke the jinx, and handed them a 29-11 defeat. Longview took the lead in the opening seconds of play by a gratis point, but such a lead could not stand under the puzzling and polished offense of the Tuscolians. A few seconds later Bostic came through with a neat shot from the corner of the court, and Capt. Stallsworth followed up with two long shots in rapid succession from near the center of the floor; thus the Longview team was tamed. The five-man defense of the Tuscola lads worked to perfection, and the playing was done mostly in Longview territory. Bruhn and Bostic were the bright lights of the offense while the Tuscola guards held the opposing forwards to three goals. Monroe’s work at back guard was the feature of the defense. ARTHUR 10; T. H. S. 27. Tuscola continued to play high class basketball and added another . scalp to her belt by defeating Arthur. The first half was rather slow although the Old Gold and Black remained on the long end of the score. We opened the second half with a series of dazzling and bewildering plays which swept the Arthur five completely off its feet. Bostic, Gross, and Bruhn of the offensive piled up point after point. Monroe and Stallsworth held the visitors to three field goals. NEWMAN 26; T. H. S. 14. The following week we journeyed to Newman where they were forced to entertain us in a bird cage. Newman could not get together in the first half and T. H. S. completely outclassed them with their passing and teamwork. The first half ended 9-8 in favor of Tuscola, but as we were handicapped by the low ceiling, they defeated us in the final period. (There is no disgrace whatever in losing to Newman on their own floor, for they could defeat a college team on such a floor). Yea! ea! 96 THE TUSCOLIAN HiHiiwiiiiiimniimmiininmiHiiiuiiiiiniiiiiHMiiiiiniHiiiiiniRiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimtniimiiiniiiniiiiiiiiiiiHiuimiHi� iiiiiiiiHiiiniiiniiiiiHiiii!iiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiinmmiinmiiNiiiiiniiiijiiHiininiHiiiiiiii� iiinimii'. ARCOLA 17; T. H. S. 14. Accompanied by a group of three rooters the Tuscola five went to Areola. Once more we suffered defeat from our ancient rivals. T. H. S. had the better of the argument until the final minute of play when the Areola guard made two successive long shots, which spelled defeat. We were handicapped greatly because this was our first appearance on a large floor. The work of Bostic and Bruhn deserve special mention. MAHOMET 6; T. H. S. 30. On February 3, Harland Richards, our mascot, our team, and Coach Mc-Wherter journeyed to Mahomet. We succeeded in administering a 30-6 defeat to the lads of that place. From the tip off until the final whistle, we kept the Mahomet five on the defense. Bostic, Gross, and Bruhn piled up point after point during the first half, and during the second half the subs helped to carry the defeat even farther. A feature was the impenetrable defense of the Tuscola guards who held the Mahomet lads scoreless from the field. The six points came from the foul line. Capt. Stallsworth seemed to ha e tra eling on his mind, and the referee called him repeatedly. ARCOLA 12; TUSCOLA 17. A few hours before the battle a big pep meeting was held in the gym I he old fighting spirit was aroused and everything was in readiness for our old rivals. From the beginning of play to the end of the first quarter T. H. S. had a comfortable lead, but Areola managed to hit their stride in second quarter and the halt ended with Areola on the long end of a 11-9 score We opened the second half with dazzling passes which pierced the Areola defense, and took the lead, which we held until the final whistle sounded The game was a thriller and a hard fought affair, but we were fighting with a spirit that did not know defeat. Coach McWherter made several ' substitutions and each man had his share in the defeat of Areola. TUSCOLA 17; ATWOOD 13. In one of the most thrilling and most exciting games of the season Tuscola defeated the Atwood players on their own floor by the neat margin of four points. W e hit our stride early in the game during the first half and kei’t the Orange and Black on the defensive; but at the opening of the second half the Atwood aggregation came back strong and gradually cut down the lead, which T uscola had worked up. During the latter part of the third quarter Atwood, for the first time, took the lead; but this did not stand long, for Monroe hit from the foul line on his second attempt after the team had .........mm.......... THE TUSCOLIAN 97 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIillllllllllllllllHlllllllllllllirillllllllTllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllMilllllllllllll-tlllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIMIIIIIItllllllllllllM been penalized and this evened the count. Neither team was able to score until the last part of the fourth quarter when Gross picked up a fumble and registered from the field. ()n the next play he came back with a shot from mid-floor, which made the game safe. Atwood seems to think it was no disgrace to lose to Tuscola because we played their second team. Well! whatever they say, it is O. K. with us, for we defeated a team which was representing Atwood High. TUSCOLA 26; MATTOON 8. In order to prove that our team was not a fluke, we journeyed to Mattoon through a sea of mud and succeeded in administering to Mattoon one of the worst defeats they have suffered in two years. Dazzling passes, and long shots forced the Mattoon lads to stand up and look on like a bunch of wooden Indians. Stally started the scoring rampage with two long shots from mid-floor while Hruhn, Bostic, and Gross took up the fray where he left off. For the first time during the season, we scored a point a minute. The first quarter ended 10-1 and the half ended 16-3. At the opening of the second half, the Mattoon team came back strong and tried to work the ball in close to the basket, but the Tuscola guards smothered their attempts. The crowd began to yell furiously and for some time it was impossible to hear the referee’s whistle, but Bruhn soon quieted them down with a shot from mid floor. TUSCOLA 31; SULLIVAN 14. Although we started our basketball season on the wrong foot, we wound it up by defeating the fast passing Sullivan aggregation. We took the lead early in the game and we were never headed although the score was close at many times. During the latter part of the second quarter we broke loose for two baskets. A hit from the foul line gave us the long end of a 11-5 count at the end of the half. During the second half our boys started on a scoring rampage with brilliant passes and team work which completely swept the Sullivan lads off their feet. Bruhn, Bostic, Gross and Monroe piled up score after score. The big feature of the game was Monroe’s basket shooting and his excellent work on defense. During the second quarter he brought the crowd to their feet with a long shot from past center and during the third quarter he repeated with an even longer shot than the first one. This was the last game on the home floor for Bruhn and Stallsworth. PARIS 25; TUSCOLA 20. To draw the curtain of the B. B. season we journeyed down to Paris and were defeated 25-20. Starting with a rush we piled up a five point lead on our opponents, but that did not stand the rush of the Paris offense, who were very 98 THE TUSCOLIAN ............. handy when it came to dodging posts. We maintained a slight lead for three quarters, but we slipped in the final quarter. It may be unsportsmanlike to say it, but the referee gave us several raw decisions. Because of this fact we fought hard to win, but luck seemed to he against us. Bruhn and Stally played their last game under the Old Gold and Black. niiiiiiiiiiuiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiM THE TUSCOLIAN CHR S VW - 35 EWMj9 y — Z3 YiLt.fi-Gfiove- 39 LO YO-y evy - 11 ftRTHUR R ft COL R — 17 re YYM.fi tY- ze mnuo ner- e thcolh -iz HTVYOOD M lTTOoH-%1 SUkUWN-t.

The opening game of the tourney brought together two old rivals, Tuscola and Areola. From the first tip off until the final whistle the Old Gold and Black held a comfortable lead over their opponents. In the fourth quarter the Tuscola lads kept the ball in their possession and saved their strength for the remaining games. Both teams played a spectacular guarding game. TUSCOLA 18; VILLA GROVE 24. On the same afternoon we played our team against the husky Villa Grove aggregation. The Railroaders hit their stride early in the game and soon ran up a good lead. When the first half ended with a score of 16-7, Coach McWherter gave his men a good lecture between halves, and they opened the second half with a whirlwind attack which completely swept the V G.’ers off their feet; their early lead was the only thing which saved them from defeat. Gross was easily the most brilliant player on the Tuscola team. The spectators, who witnessed the game, were furnished with the fastest and most thrilling game of the tourney. TUSCOLA 24; ARTHUR 14. For the third time in the same day the team which represented T. H. S. took the floor; this time we met the Arthur quintet. Both teams were tired and worn out, and the game was rather slow, but the Tuscola quintet soon got together and began to find the loop regularly. Both teams played a close guarding game and consequently long shots were used. Since the Tuscola boys could hit the basket with greater ease than their oponents, they held a 24-14 score at the final whistle. TUSCOLA 32; HINDSBORO 6. After a good night’s rest we succeeded in trouncing the cellar champs 32-6. Hindsboro scored the first basket, but it was her last one; the other points came via the foul line. Coach McWherter used ten men to win, and the seconds took up the fray where the firsts left off. TUSCOLA 15; NEWMAN 20. For the third time this season we clashed with our poisonous neighbors on the east, Newman. The game was a whirlwind affair from start to finish. The winner was not determined until the final whistle blew.

Both teams seemed somewhat nervous and missed a number of close shots during the second quarter. Although Tuscola was leading at the end of the first half, Newman came back strong during the second half and played a superior guarding game, which forced the locals to take long shots. Bruhn with his long thrilling shots from the center of the floor was Tuscola’s stellar performer. The Newmanites returned fire with their long shots, which brought defeat to us in the third uuarter.

THE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Tuscola met the Farmer City quintet in the first game of the district tournament which resulted in a victory for the Old Gold and Black. The game was rather slow, and the number of fouls which were called on both teams numbered twenty-seven. Tuscola took the lead on the hit from the foul line and kept increasing the score as the game progressed. Bruhn and Vest were high point scorers with nine field goals between them. Stally added seven points via the gratis route. TUSCOLA 18; URBANA 12. The Tuscola lads played their second game Friday afternoon when they Put the skids under the much touted Urbana quintet and gave them the small end of an 18-12 score. The game was a thriller from start to finish although ............... !llllllllllllll||||||||||||...................mi............................................. THE TUSCOLIAN 103 lllNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllillillllllllllllll during the second half the Urbana team was forced to sacrifice their ofifense and play on the defense. Tuscola was slow in starting their scoring combination to work and Urbana led at the end of the first quarter 7-4. The second period found the Old Gold and Black team working well together and they rolled up four points to one for Urbana; thus the half ended 8-7. Not content with their one point lead, the Tuscolians began working together like a well oiled machine and rang up four baskets and a couple of counters from the foul line before the Urbana quintet could shake off their dream. Having a good lead over their opponents our boys were satisfied to freeze the ball in Urbana territory and await the final whistle. Bruhn, Bostic, and Gross played well on the offense, while Stally and Cully spoiled the Urbana offense time after time. This was a glorious victory for Tuscola, for it was the first upset of the tourney and it gave the fans something to study over. Urbana was rated as one of the fastest teams in the district, for during the past season they defeated Champaign, Lane Tech of Chicago and numerous other schools of basketball fame. However, Tuscola completely outclassed her in this game. TUSCOLA 16; VILLA GROVE 31. After we had defeated Urbana, we were matched once more against the Railroader quintet in the first game of the semi-final clash. They started our defeat with a rush and soon had a comfortable lead. Their polished offense and smooth working defense proved too much for us, and we were defeated 31-16. This made the third time the Villa Grove team had triumphed over us this season. There is no disgrace in losing to a good team. The game was clean and hard fought, but their superior teamwork and their scoring ability proved too much for our defense. After this defeat we were forced to be contented with second place in the tourney. Douglas County turned out the first and second teams which shows that her teams' furnished the competition for the tourney. 104 THE TUSCOLI AN uiiiiiiiiiuiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiii{iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir:uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiititn INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL 1921 The first class basketball tournament was held last year. As a result of the great rivalry between the classes, the games were well attended and hotly contested. Two games were played after school each afternoon. Before any games were played, it looked as if the Sophomores and Seniors would be fighting for the first place, while the Juniors and Freshies had about an even chance for the last place. All of the teams practiced hard and then the tournament started. The first evening the following games were played: Seniors against Sophomores, and Juniors against Freshies. In an overtime game, the Sophs won from the Seniors and the Freshies won from the Juniors. The next evening the following games were played: Juniors against Seniors, and the Freshies against the Sophs. The Juniors won their game and the Freshies won their game. Then in what should have been the final games, the Juniors defeated the Sophomores and the Seniors defeated the Freshies. These results placed the Freshies and Juniors in a tie for the first place. 'Phis tie was later played off and resulted in an easy victory for the Juniors. Because of this victory the class of 1922 won the basketball championship. INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL 1922 The success of the tournament in 1921 was so evident, that this year another tournament was arranged. The plan this year was one of elimination. Phe results of the first games were that the Juniors won from the Sophomores i the Seniors won from the Freshies. The Juniors and Seniors are now tied for the first place. The final game has not been played off. but the dope is for the Seniors. J- A.

I lie County Meet was the first contest in which this team entered. At 'his time all the men were trained down in good condition and easily took the meet. Captain Hollingsworth carried off the individual honors, scoring many more points than any other man. The grand feature of the meet was the eight-eighty yard relay race. Bostic, who was running first, made a good getaway, and started the race off on high, giving Lincoln about a five yard lead. Abe kept the lead, giving Thoeming a good start; he in turn gave Hollingsworth a still better start. Holly walked off from his opponents, finishing some twenty or thirty yards ahead of them. After the race was all over, Tuscola found that they had not won, as the officials claimed that Holly had not run the required distance. After some discussion the honor was given to Newman. But nevertheless. Tuscola won the meet, having more than all the rest put together. I he second meet which this team entered was at Charleston. This was very exciting and the boys learned a great deal about track although they did not win a point. 'I'he alibi offered by the Tuscola men was “too much Junior Reception,” which was the night before the meet. The Tuscolians together w ith a number of other contestants were guests of the Normal School men after the meet. 1 he third and last meet of the season was at Urbana. At this meet, our fellows met some great athletes, but they were able to bring only two points home. The scoring was done by Captain Holingsworth, who won second place in the two-twenty yard run. This closed the season, and although T. H. S. did not get very many points in the larger meets, they were proud to take the County Meet. H. T.

Who is it that causes the boys’ faces to be wreathed in smiles, and draws her admiring band after her as she goes on her dreamy strolls? Why it is.one of our most dignified Seniors, Carmoleta Romine! She has admirers strung from Atwood to Murdock, from Chestervillc to Parkville and on to Champaign. In fact, she has a new one every day, and then, a special one for Sunday. They are always near. You might call her a coquette, but I hardly believe that she is as bad as that. Her snappy brown eyes are always vamping some poor fellow, and of course they all fall. She even tries to ' amp the boys in church. When she goes away to college, she will have to keep a stenographer to keep track of her dates. We wish her happiness and success some day. D. R. ’22. And here is yet another important member of the Tuscola High School, lor as he passes into the honored rolls of the Alumni, those who accompanied him and those who were left behind struggling to obtain a like position. will look back upon his high school career, and consider it a success. I need not relate all these incidents for the benefit of the student body, for they know him as no others could. Readers of the Tuscolian, I will no longer keep you in suspence, for this person is one whose eloquence has power to clear the fullest house in half an hour, and is none other than_________ George Samuel Harland Bott Richards. He was a gifted orator, with a vocabulary as extensive as his waist line. There was no debating or literary club to which this one did not belong, if he was eligible, and class limitations were all that kept him ineligible. Yea! That bov loved to argue! If this Senior should miss being a leader of the Republican party, I for one, would be sadly disappointed, for, scorning all other parties, he upheld that party with dignity (and words). Even so, may I say in conclusion that he would turn over in his grave, if his oratory, dignity, and weight did not gain for him the position of President of the U. S„ for at least three terms. C. L. I. ’22 ho is it that is seen so often whizzing down Main Street and cutting corners when Sam is not in sight? Yes, it is the same couple of mischievous Freshmen who enliven the dull monotony of both teachers and pupils: namely, Mildred Jones and Irene Koehn. Both sincerely believe that action is eloquence, and they were deeply disappointed when the snow went off because they wanted to go flipping. They alone possess the ability to make Miss Sluss smile during a study period and play numerous pranks equal to those of the Junior seven.

Close observation has shown that Mildred seldom leaves the house without her “Vest” or “Koehn.” It might be news to some to learn that she has taken up aesthetic dancing, and a'though she does not display her talent in public, she entertains the home folks on such occasions as family dinners. Any one seeking Ire.ie could be directed by the words: “She’s near the Marsh.” Their smiles never wear off, nor does their chewing gum ever wear out. H. K. M. ’23. Although his handsome features and curly locks are an adornment to the Junior class, it bears with fortitude his commanding ways and pug nose. As an athlete he ranks among the first, both in football and basketball. During the game with Areola, he had the distinction of being the only man for whom both sides were rooting. Not only is he widely famed as an athlete, but his unlimited nerve has enabled him to become an orator. His name is often seen on the programs at conventions, banquets, and clubs. Golden-lipped, hundred per cent guaranteed, water spouting argument, and ‘flaming oratory have won for him both friends and foes in the nearby towns. His circle of lady friends is by no means limited to T. H. S.—and it’s queer, but he always seems to notice curls, red hats or white tarns first. No doubt by this time you have guessed that the one spoken of is no other than Max Wayne Vest whose motto is; “The trust 1 have is in mine innocence, and, therefore, am I bold.” H. K. M. ’23. If this were an obituary, we could say that Frances Fullerton was a girl of great personal charm and beauty; that her disposition was rivalled only by that of an angel; and her sweet smile shone upon the old as well as the young. Her golden voice brought joy to o hers and she was the sunshine of the home. But since this is no obituary, thank goodness, we must speak the truth. Although she was really christened with a high-sounding name, she is known simply as Curly.” We must admit that her voice is as golden as her hair, but her disposition is not quite as sweet as an angel. With the true instinct of a movie queen, she has learned the dramatic use of foils and can play Willis against Marie skillfully. C.
