It can be expressed only through some outward token. Therefore as a concrete symbol of our sincere appreciation, we dedicate this volume of the Tuscolian to Mr. G. S. Hiers and Miss Helen Pringle, who. both as instructors and class advisors, have proved themselves our loyal friends. 4 THE TUSCOLIAN The Tuscola Community Hi j;h School Hoard Consists of the following members: Mr. Carroll C.

Very naturally, we are proud of the book, too; proud because we have put so much time and effort into it; and proud because we believe we have a truly representative book; not representative of the Senior class alone, but of the Tuscola Community High School. It has been our aim to portray the true high school life, and the real high school activities. But we feel that all our efforts would not be worth much if we did not truly portray the old T. C. H. S. spirit, the same spirit which dominated all activities in times gone by, and which still dominates school life now, the strong all-for-T. C. H. S. spirit, the spirit which never admits of defeat. If there is any student of T. C. H. S. who does not have that spirit, we hope that this book will help to instill it in him. If any person has that spirit lying dormant in him, may this book cause it to awaken, and make itself known. You all have noticed the cover on this book; it has been made the standard for at least the following four years, and it is our wish that the standard may be kept by the following classes. We do this in order that the books may have a uniform look when placed in a library. We have said that we were proud of our book, and think it the best one yet, however, it is up to the rest of you to be the judges. Donald J.

As freshies, we were certainly green. We elected Karl Wood as our first President. The other officers were Max Wayne Vest, Vice President, and Esther Bruhn, Treasurer. We gave to athletics, during our first year, Max Wayne Vest for football, and Glen Thompson and Fred Williams for basket-ball; besides surprising the upper classmen by winning the girls’ basket-ball tournament. For diversion the first year, we gave a party in conjunction with the Sophomores, and a weiner roast on St. Patrick’s day. The following September, we, (most of us), had gained the height of Sophomores. We felt proud to think that we were not the “greenest” in the school. This year we chose Harriet Michener, President; Fred Williams. Vice President, and Helen Hollingsworth, Treasurer. We furnished Dwight Moody, Max Wayne Vest, Charles Monroe, Fred Rahn, and Karl Wood for football, and Ben Leutz, Charles Monroe, Glen Thompson, Joe Busbey, and Fred Williams for basket-ball. We gave a Hallowe’en party for the football squad, in addition to other parties which constituted our social activities for the year. At the beginning of a busy Junior year, we elected Irene Dickinson as our guide. Fred Williams was elected Vice President; Ferris Morgan, Secretary, and Max Wayne Vest, Treasurer. We supported athletics this year with our usual enthusiasm. For our play, we gave “Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!” on which we spent many weary hours of work, and which proved to be a huge success. The money from this play was used to put across our final function of the year, the Junior-Senior Reception. We all worked untiringly on it to make it a success, and from our standpoint, it was. It was given in the Odd Fellows hall, which was appropriately decorated with Sweet Peas and Tulips. In October, 1922, we again assembled, but this time it was in the new T. C. H. S. building. We are proud of the fact that we were the first class to graduate from the new building. At our first class meeting, we chose Max Wayne Vest, President; Harriet Michener, Vice President; Wilna Tresenriter, Treasurer, and Ruth Gates, Secretary. We began work immediately on the TUSCOLIAN. of which Donald Rose was elected Editor. THE TUSCOLIAN 17 During all of our Senior year, we have been working to make this issue the best yet,—and the best to come. Mr. Hiers, one of our advisors, always helped us over the knotty questions which arose from time to time concerning the book. We supported all athletics on the field or floor as well as from the sidelines. We, also, as Seniors, had the honor of opening the new auditorium, with the presentation of our class play, “Jane Ann.” Miss Pringle, our other advisor and helper, directed this play most successfully. We have managed to keep up our famous pep always during our four years of high school life which ends for us on graduation day. We feel that we owe our success in a large measure to our advisors, Mr. Hiers and Miss Pringle, to whom we have dedicated this book. As a class, we have gone to school in the old T. H. S. building, the court house, and finally in the very modern new building just finished. We feel proud to think that we are the first to leave its doors as Alumni of T. C. H. S. —R. G., ’23. 18 THE TUSCOLIAN Last Will and Testament of the Class of ’23 The last will and testament of the class of 1923, of the city of Tuscola, County of Douglas, State of Illinois, made this 27th day of April in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty three. We, the Senior class of 1923, of the said city of Tuscola, being of sound mind, do hereby make, publish and declare this our last will and testament.

H„ ’23. 20 THE TUSCOLIAN SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY A distinguished looking person was aimlessly sauntering down Sixth avenue in Paris gazing at the many advertisements in some of the overcrowded shop windows. This person was commonly known as Fred L. Williams, president of the National Baseball Players League. While waiting for an interview with Mr. Glen A. Thompson, the city’s great cartoonist, Fred was attracted by a certain sign swinging to and fro in an unusual manner. He hesitated, felt in his pockets, nodded with satisfaction, and proceeded to walk in. The interior was gloomy, but having accustomed himself to the twilight, Fred saw many oriental articles, including a rug, some vases, and a dark-eyed maid with slanting optics, who on his entrance disappeared immediately. Fred with the indifference to outside elements which characterized him in his youth, for he had been young once, sat down and waited. Presently, from behind mysterious oriental curtains, a short dark lady glided silently into the room. Seating herself comfortably at a small table, and having adjusted her silken robes, she fixed her piercing black eyes on Fred’s blue ones making him so uncomfortable that to break the silence he said, “Oh Goddess of the Orient, judging from the sign on your door, you have been chosen to enlighten the inhabitants of your city. I have come to you seeking to know what paths of life my old school mates have taken.” She nodded her red turban and set many rings to bobbing in her ears, but not a word came from her cherry tinted mouth. Slowly she drew from somewhere a crystal ball and placed it on the table beside an ouija board. “Well,” she said, and waited. Evidently Fred did not know what she meant, for he sat as still as a mouse. She tried once more. “Signals,” she said. Immediately Fred was aroused and responded: “Oh, you must know that I graduated in the class of ’23 of T. C. II. S., and in the race for fame and dollar I lost sight of my pals. Tell me, before I burst with curiosity, what has become of them.” Staring into the magic ball, the woman began: “It is gratifying to note the distinction enjoyed by one who, in the dawn of his career, at school, gave promise of the remarkable abilities which have since been of such inestimable value in the various spheres in which they have been exerted. Recognizing that the exhibition of capacity for successfully handling small affairs would prepare him for the administration of more important duties, he strove to do all things well. In every THE TUSCOLIAN 21 station filled he acquitted himself most successfully, and now, after a long and useful political career, in the vigor of his mental and physical manhood, he has been honored by the unanimous choice of his party with the nomination for the highest office in the gift of the people, that of president. “1 feel that it is superfluous to mention the name of one who is known from coast to coast, whose deeds are discussed at every fire-side, and one who will be brought forth in history as Charles Monroe, President of the United States of America. Mrs. Monroe, formerly Wilna Tresenwriter. enjoys planning banquets and speeches for him. They will be accompanied on a trip to Europe next month by Helen Hollingsworth, a noted chemist and Emma Phillips who is waiting to be claimed the second George Eliot.” She paused, again piercing Fred’s eyes as if to see if he believed. Then with a clear voice she continued: ‘‘Alliece Warren married a rich merchant. He died and she, wishing to travel, secured Clarabelle Henson and Lyra Bird as traveling companions. They are now in London where Clarabelle and Lyra are competing for a certain golf trophy. While there they met Harriett Jane Bell who has been for the past year doing missionary work in the Samoan Islands. She finds this climate very beneficial to her health.” She paused, and Fred asked: “The Camargo girls, Irene Fry and Doris Drinkwater.” A flash of dazzling light made him jump, but she spoke as if the brilliant light helped her. “They are both successful school teachers. Estella Roy is teaching mathematics in the Hayes University.” Silence. Fred shivered at the mystic, weird appearance of the room, which seemed more gloomy by contrast with the white lights preceding it. He drew forth a note book and read the names of his fellow students. “What’s old Smith doing?” “Well, he and Lottie are married and are living on the old farm. He preaches at the country church on Sunday and during the week ekes out a living by farming. Ruth Gates and Maude Ilallowell who are expert stenographers always plan to spend their vacations in the country with them.” “And Frances, Clarice, Ferris, and Ruth Pogue, did their dreams come true?” “Yes. They have been in Paris, but have recently returned to America and are now giving concerts in New York. They say that they have quite a number of laurel wreaths and a few olive branches too.” 22 THE TUSCOLIAN Watching a curious little group of light bulbs, Fred failed to see her hand flash forth and press a little button, but he did see the lights give a feeble radiance. “Dorothy Shreve,” said the woman, “is an artist of great fame. Mary Moorehead and Anna Smith are designers of Paris gowns while Vir-giealena Grigsby is a successful beauty parlor, manager.” “Where is Max Wayne Vest?” “He is a civil engineer and is at present in South America. Between engineering a bridge across the river and teasing the dark skinned maidens that frequent the river bank, his time is well taken.” They sat in silence a few minutes. Suddenly a brilliant glare, as the sun on a walk in summer, filled the room and the woman said: “Wilma Cedusky is in the Cannibal Islands acting the leading lady in a serial picture called ‘Sheba and Her Powder Puff’.” “And Harriet Michener, is she happy?” “Yes, she is Dean of Women at Greencastle. A few years ago one of Indiana’s fair daughters vamped one of Tuscola’s fairest sons, and so she is trying to teach the girls that they are to be sought and are not to seek. Don Rose, the editor-in-chief, has improved and advanced in that line of business. He is now editor of the ‘Garrett Tribune,’ also recognized as an authority on the transmission of bodies by means of Radio.” Looking at her, Fred saw floating above her a small German flag. It almost took his breath away, but even as he looked it disappeared and in its place waved the stars and stripes, held by some unseen hand. He gasped in surprise, but did not say a word. “Time out?” she inquired. “Oh, no. There is one more, Irene Dickinson.” She went to the door, pushed a button and the room was lighted in a natural glow. As she resumed her seat, Fred, in the better light, saw something which must have struck him dumb. “Are you so astonished?” she asked. “I had to earn a living some way, and this seemed the easiest.” —F.

At our first class meeting we elected Floyd Miller President, and Grace Lollar Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. May and Mrs. Flack were chosen as class advisors. The first social affair was a weiner roast at Patterson Springs. We went on hay racks, and had a jolly time. Later we had a party in the Gym, but, on account of the weather, not very many were present. In February, since our President had moved away, we elected Cecil Green in his place. Amelia Schroeder was elected Vice-President. The average grade for the class was good—considering that we were Freshmen. On September 5th, 1921, we returned to high school feeling much older—now Sophomores. Great satisfaction beamed on our faces as we realized that we were no longer Freshmen. At our first class meeting this year, we elected Emma Hoel, President, Edith Hance, Vice-President, Cleo Hine, Secretary, and Edward Bailey, Treasurer. We chose Miss Wiseman and Miss Haynie as our class advisors. Before long we had a picnic in Rice’s woods. Early in October, our school building burned, and we, with the rest, had to move to the Court House. The losing side in the annual contest entertained the winning side at Rice’s woods, near the close of school. Some Sophomores were on the winning side. We found our studies no easier this year than last, but we were used to the hard fight, and most of us struggled through. On account of the new High School building not being finished, school did not start until October, 1922. Not unlike other Juniors, we felt our importance to a great extent. We soon held a class meeting at which we elected Horace Hackett, President, Fern Hallowell, Vice-President. Curtis Marsh, Secretary, and Cleo Hine, Treasurer. We chose Miss Sluss and Miss Schujahn as class advisors. On January 26th, 1923, we gave a Box Supper at the gym. Under the supervision of Miss Sluss, an interesting entertainment was planned, at which the Junior boys showed their skill as musicians. William Clapper entered our class this year, and was one of the class’ best athletes. His greatest skill and notoriety, however, lay in his “attraction” for Junior and Senior girls. We have now chosen our class play, “Wrecking Robert’s Budget.” We hope to make it a success, as well as all the rest of our plans for the future. V. F. H., ’24, and F. E.

Miss Pringle and Mr. Mac-Wherter were chosen class advisors. We also chose silver and blue for our class colors. On October the second, 1922, after a very delightful vacation, we entered as the Sophomore class and took our turn at teasing the poor freshmen. A short time after school commenced a class election was held and we elected for our President, Walter Fortner; Vice-President, Irene Koehn, Treasurer, Ed Scheideman, and Secretary, Dorothy Scoggin. For class advisors we chose Miss Webber and Miss Lindberg. Many from our class went out for athletics, several of whom made the first team in both football and basket ball. Those who were successful in football were Charles Bostic, Carl Gross, Dwight Moody, Frank Vest, Ed Scheideman, Victor Ross, and Paul Williamson, all fighting with the good old spirit. Carl, Dwight, and Charles were awarded their second T’s. Victor and Paul received their first T’s. The Sophomores who were successful in basketball were Carl Gross, Ed Scheideman, Frank Vest, Charles Bostic, and William Morris. Charles and Carl also received their second T’s in basketball. The girls are very proud of the new gymnasium and enjoy going into athletics too. They organized basketball teams and with Mildred Jones as captain of the Sophomore team, they came through winners of the girls’ tournament held on March 17 and 18, 1923. We have been very busy in activities but we have also found time to play. In the latter part of October, the Sophomores, went out to the Kas-kaskia school for a wiener-roast. We were well represented in the Latin, Gym, Dramatic, Madrigal, Radio, and Pederixor clubs. Besides the organized activities of the High School, the Sophomores are very proud of the fact that Clara Vaughn received the distinction of being made an honorary member of the Black and White Domino, she having written a play which took first prize at the close of the contest held by the Dramatic Club, during the month of February. The title of the play was “Bachelorines” and we all had the pleasure of seeing this little play put on by High School students, in the latter part of May, to be exact, the 23rd of that month. —I). H.

Soon after school had begun, the following officers were elected: President .....................................Constance Sturgell Vice-President ...................................Leland Lincholn Secretary ............................ Lawrence Griffith Treasurer .................................Ted Howard Advisor ....................................Miss Fuller Advisor .............................................Mr. McWherter The first thing that was given in social life, was a wiener roast at the Kaskaskia school house. Everyone enjoyed themselves to the utmost. An account of the affair will be found elsewhere in the book. Many of the boys in the Freshman class went out for athletics. None of them were successful in making the first team in either football or basket-ball. Several made the second team, however. Some of those who were on the second team were Ted Howard, Orus Hall, Leland Lincholn, Harold Steven, Frank Michener for football, and Lemoine Schick for basket-ball. Courtney Roderick and Harold Huber are making a success in track. The whole Freshman class is proud of the new gym, and enjoy it to the utmost. The Freshman girls are very interested in basket-ball, and have organized a team with Miriam Beall as captain. In the article on girls’ basket-ball, you will find that the freshies made a name for themselves, too. On the twenty-fifth of February, a party was given in the gym. Everyone had a good time, and very good refreshments were served. We are also very proud to say that four of our girls are members of the Madrigal (Glee) Club. They are Miriam Beall, Anna Mae Fullerton, Thelma Powers, and Martha Bartlett. We are also represented in the Black and White Domino by Frank Michener, who secured his membership by playing the part of the butler in “Mr. Bob,” which was put on by that organization. We are also x-epresented in the Boys’ Debating Club, and the Radio Club. The class has a Hi-Y organization all to itself, too. The Fi-eshman class ranks very high in their studies, higher than any of the preceding Freshman classes. Several of us have made A’s, and four of our gilds have made four A’s eveiw month this year. Next year we hope to keep up our excellent class spirit, and to do our pai-t in fostering the spirit of the whole school. We believe that our class has as many and as good chances to make a name for itself as any other class, and we mean to take advantage of evei y one of those chances that come our way. —J. S., ’26. 32 THE TUSCOLIAN ALUMNI NEWS Some time ago, we received a very interesting letter from Mr. Samuel C. Reat, United States consul at Calgary, Canada. He gives a very readable explanation of a United States consul’s job. We regret that the limited space we had to devote to the letter made it necessary to use the Editor’s blue pencil a little. We wish we could have published it all. Working for Uncle Sam The United States of America, after a look for consular timber, selected me for a successor to Theodore Botkin, Consul at Port Mauritius. Congress declined again and again to put the Consular service in the Classified service—and only by an Executive Order of President Roosevelt in 1907, was the consular service taken from politics. With the inauguration of the new system of Consular selection, the rollicking picturesque Yankee Consul of early musical comedy days—that gay, blithe adventurer in white duck, pith helmet, jaunting idly about the poi'ts of the Far East, has disappeared. Likewise has disappeared some of the romance of the service as found in Richard Harding Davis’ “The Consul” and in O. Henry’s “Cabbages and Kings.” But tragedy and comedy are still occurring in the service, and may be found in countries which produce other things besides bananas, red pepper, and revolutions. Just yesterday—but that’s giving too much local color—and Consular ethics forbid. Consuls existed long before ambassadors—and in the middle ages were clothed with diplomatic power. While no longer enjoying the principle of extra-territoriality and other diplomatic immunities, no man needs more diplomacy than a Consul. What are the duties of a Consul? It would take less space to say what his duties are not. They are multifarious. The United States Consular Regulations state: “Consular offi- cers are expected to endeavor to maintain and promote all the rightful interest of American citizens and to protect them in all privileges provided for by treaty or conceded by usage; to visa, and when so authorized, to issue passports when permitted by treaty, law, or usage; to take charge of and settle the personal estates of Americans who may die abroad without legal or other representatives, and remit the proceeds to the Treasury in case they are not called for by a legal representative within a year; to ship, discharge, and under certain conditions, maintain and send American THE TUSCOLIAN 33 seamen to the United States; to settle disputes between masters and seamen of American vessels; to investigate charges of mutiny or insubordination on the high seas and send mutineers to the United States for trial; to render assistance in case of wrecked or stranded American vessels; to certify to the correctness of the valuation of merchandise exported to the United States where the shipment amounts to more than $100.00; to protect the health of our seaports by reporting weekly the sanitary and health conditions at the ports where they are stationed; etc., etc., etc. (If interested the entire list will be furnished upon application, this is no serial!). The foregoing are some of the general duties, but each week a new duty is imposed or a new investigation comes. Last week the Department of State instructed Consuls “to refuse to certify shaving brushes, unless, etc.” and this week Consuls in Canada are instructed “that beer may not be shipped in bond from Canada through the United States to Mexico.” Poor Mexicans!—Poor Americanos! The United States covers the world with about 500 Consuls, and with the shifting of a Consul From Greenland’s icy mountains From India’s coral strands. Where Africa’s sunny fountains Roll down the golden sand,” he occasionally lands (if Parce smiles on him) where there are no afternoon teas, no department stores, no dansants, (except by the natives), no extradition treaties—but decollete galore. But if long anchored to some isle laved by the Indian or Pacific ocean, Mr. Consul gets an attack of nostalgia, if he has escaped the bubonic plague, and would swap the entire perquisites of office for just one hour at the Plaza in Calgary or the plaza in New York. If the Consul should be assigned to----------, that romantic haunt of revolutionists,—or any other turbulent, storm-tossed republic where, from the Executive down to the coffee pickers they are plotting to skin each other and loot the treasury, he will learn that “ ‘The time has come,’ the Walrus said, ‘To talk of many things; ‘Of shoes and ship and sealing wax, ‘And cabbages and kings’.” The “steenth” revolution has begun. Soon, there smites the Consul’s ear the querulous complaint that somebody’s getting twisted on neutrality laws, somebody’s aiding with munitions of war, Americans are engaged in filibustering, etc.; the revolutionists cry “Baja il traidor;” bang, bang; 34 THE TUSCOLIAN the army is successful with one cannon; the President decamps with the funds of the treasury, and the new government makes formal and formidable proclamations. It sets about supplying the fiscal deficiency by increasing import duties, and by “suggesting” to wealthy residents (generally U. S. or British) that contributions according to their means would be considered patriotic and in good order. Then the foreign contingent shows imminent signs of an eruption lest a gunboat or two is not requisitioned by the Consul for the protection of foreign investments. Oh, it’s a hectic job to keep revolutionists from scratching the paint off U. S. government property, and to placate those whose private property will probably be confiscated before the gunboat may arrive. In this revolution General Blank, Soldier of Fortune, lost his left optic. Cannon wouldn’t shoot in one of the seventy-seven indecisive battles, so the General touched it off with his cigar. It would have been a bloodless revolution except for the general’s haste and indiscretion. The last time I saw this errant general he was still bating one good eye, and doubtless today is engaged as a scarred soldier of fortune in some Republic laved by the Carribean Sea, or possibly he may be in one of the “Wet” Indies. General Blank, maker and unmaker of Presidents, was an Englishman by birth, and American by naturalization and a cosmopolite by necessity. It is now just fourteen years since I entered the Consular Service and during that period. Presidents, one Emperor, one King, Ambassadors, Princes, Counts, Generals and Admirals have met Me. I have autographs of some of the foregoing world notables, but I do not recall that any of them requested my autograph, but I am consoled by the thought that quite likely they were not collecting the autograph’s of the eminent persons they met. Although I have had a naval vessel, the U. S. S. “Albany,” pay me an official visit in the harbor at Keelung, and give me the official salute of seven guns, I am quite truthful in saying that the proudest moment in my life was when I was graduated from the Tuscola High School; and from the stage of the old “Opery House” orated grand iloquently on “National Politics,” a subject which I, at that time, knew nothing, and know less about today. Samuel C. Reat. Calgary, Canada. THE TUSCOLIAN 35 A LETTER FROM PERSIA Arthur C. Boyce was graduated from the Tuscola High School in the class of 1902, then took an extra year getting more Latin, German and Science. Entered Lafayette College, Easton, Pa., in the Latin-Scientific Course and graduated with the class of 1907. Went to Persia that fall to teach English and Science in the American High School in Teheran. Returned to America in 1910 and entered the University of Illinois. Received the degree of M. A. in Education in 1911. Was Principal of the township high school at Armington, Illinois, for one year and then went to the University of Chicago for further study of Education. Was first a Fellow and later Assistant in Education from 1912 to 1915. Results of work at Chicago published as a year book of the National Society for the Study of Education under the title, “Methods for Measuring Teachers.” In March 1914 married Miss Annie Woodman Stocking, Williamstown, Mass. Returned to Persia in March 1915, to become Associate Principal of the American High School. At present Acting Principal. From 1918 to 1920 served as Treasurer of the Persian Relief Committee and of the American-Persian Relief Commission. The American High School is a part of the extensive work carried on in Northern Persia by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. It has an average attendance of over 500 boys, Persians, Armenians, Jews and others. These boys come from all parts of Persia and from all classes of society. They go into all sorts of service and are doing very much to bring about a better day in Persia. When I was here in 1907-T0, the chief interest was the newly developing movement toward constitutional government. The excitement this time has been furnished by the effects of the war, famine, and then, the threatened Bolshevik invasion. Just now we are much interested in the attempt to establish prosperity which is being made by the new Financial Advisor, Dr. A. C. Millspaugh and his assistants. They are a fine group of Americans, and if they cannot bring order out of chaos, I would not give much for the future of Persia. Dr. Bogart of the Univeristy of Illinois, is in charge of Banking and Currency. He has put his small boy in our school for one lesson and his daughter is helping with some teaching in the Girls school. We are looking forward very eagerly to being in the United States again next summer. Tuscola will probably seem much changed with the old high school gone and the new one some place else. But there will be lots of old friends there and we will be glad to see them. Arthur C. Boyce. Teheran, Persia. 36 THE TUSCOLIAN TEAM OF 1896 Top Row: Tenbrook, Hanson, McBeath, Armstrong, Calhoun.

THE TUSCOLIAN 37 ALUMNI NEWS In presenting this news of the alumni, it has been the aim of the Editor to present such material as would be of interest to the earlier graduates of the school as well as to those of more recent years. Our only regret is that there is probably information of as great or greater importance than that contained in these pages, which we have been unable to obtain. After graduation there is one thing which the class of ’23 will have in common with the rest of the Alumni, love for T. H. S. ’23, the first class to graduate from the new T. C. H. S. greets in spirit ’75. the first class to graduate from T. H. S. —C. B. H.. ’23. Mrs. Bessie McKee Hargis, ’98, is a veteran of the teaching force of Los Angeles, Cal. At present she is doing substitute teaching, and enjoying life in the land of sunshine. Miss Ruth Wamsley, ’ll, daughter of Mrs. Kate Wamsley, ’83, was an Easter bride. Her marriage to Mr. Dudley Courtwright occurred in Indianapolis. They are both teaching in the Kankakee High School. United States Consul S. C. Reat, ’87, Calgary, Canada; Arthur Boyce, ’02, Teheran, Persia, and Mrs. Harriett Ewers Lyons, ’95, Manila, P. I., are honored representatives of the Old Gold and Black in the foreign fields. Mrs. Bernice Secrest Pyke, Cleveland, Ohio, a former teacher in T. H. S., has gained distinction as a member of the Democratic National Committee; Mrs. Pyke is noted for her ability as a speaker as well as for her astuteness as a politician. John Sanders, T3, Bisbee, Arizona, is a member of the law firm Ellenwood Ross, Counsels for the Phelps-Dodge Corporation, who operate the Copper Queen mines. Not many schools have the experience of using texts written by a former member of the faculty; but the T. C. H. S. has this distinction. Mr. Chas. Ammerman, a former Principal and Superintendent, is the coauthor of the “Standard Algebra” used in our High School. Among our alumni who made a trip to Europe last year were Mrs. Elizabeth Owen Cashford, ’03; Misses Ruth and Jean Wamsley, ’ll and ’13, and Miss Constance Fuller, ’18. Alfred Sluss, ’96, is Dean of the School of Engineering, University of Kansas. 38 THE TUSCOLIAN 1922 CUPID VICTIMS Randon Ferguson, T8, married Miss Ellen McCarty; Gladys Thompson, T9, married Paul Haufman; Raymond Muir, T8, married Eunice Ankrum; Lloyd Dickinson, T7, married Amelia Wiesner, T5; Glen Joseph, '17, married Loleta Lollar. T8; Nettie Overturf, ’20, married Chas. Randolph. SILVER ANNIVERSARY “Alivays early, never late, That’s the class of ’98.” This year marks the 25th anniversary of the graduation of the class of ’98. Of eighteen who received their diplomas from the stage of the old Madison Opera House, every member is living today. This class was the last that was compelled to write and deliver their own orations, and in order that each member could be heard, it was necessary to have two nights of Commencement. The class play was not given due to this fact. The class motto, “Somehow, somewhere, the world hath need of us,” was suggested by the late Professor Charles S. Earle, the faithful friend and advisor of the ’98’ers. The memorial left by this class is one of the few that escaped the devastating fire of October 21, 1921, when the old school building burned. This memorial is a beautiful young white oak tree, which stands near the middle gate of the South Ward grounds. The tree was planted on Arbor day, 1898, and was set out in a dashing April shower. Each member of the class placed a shovel full of earth about the roots of the tree, and ceremonies appropriate to the occasion were performed. “Long live the class of ’98! Long live their oak by the middle gate!” Three of our faculty are alumni. They are: Miss Harriet J. Sluss, TO; Mrs. Bertha E. Flack, ’03, and Miss Constance Fuller, T8. Paul Stickles, T3, discovered coal on his farm near Coal City, Ind. With the coal strike in the near background, his mine has proved profitable. We are informed that Mrs. Winifred Jones Alexander, ’09, Chicago, took two first prizes with her fine saddle horse at the recent horse show in that city. THE TUSCOLIAN 39 Gave Him an Opportunity Judge Franklin H. Boggs sent us a very interesting letter, too. When the Class of 1885 had under consideration its class motto, the one that seemed most popular, aside from “Work and Win,” the one selected was “Know thy opportunities.” To me the Tuscola High School was an opportunity. It brought me in contact with other minds better informed and better trained than mine. I was well aware of the fact my education up to that time had not been as systematic and uniform as it should have been and this afforded me a means whereby, through close application, I could in part at least, overcome this handicap. One feature of my education which had been sadly neglected was public speaking. I recall when my name first appeared on the Friday afternoon programs, that were then being held, I thought I should never be able to go through with my part. My friend Riley Johnson, a member of the class of ’85 well remembers how on one occasion I forgot what I intended saying, and I stood so long waiting for it to come to mind the remainder of the Class was beginning to feel themselves disgraced. However, I was finally able to recall it and survived the ordeal. The Tuscola High School did for me what it has done for so many of its graduates. It gave me an oppoi’tunity to acquire the education and training so necessary for a foundation on which to build in after life. While thirty-eight years have passed since my graduation, I have never ceased to be a student. The education which we received in a High School or College should only be looked upon as the foundation on which we are afterwards to build. I have many pleasant recollections of my High School life and whatever success may have come to me I owe, in large part, to the impetus I received during my high school days. The alumni are under a lasting debt of gratitude to the people of this community who through the years have done so much to make of their High School, one of the best in the State. Franklin H. Boggs. Champaign, Illinois. •eather Activities EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Eelieving that activities of various kinds are necessary to supply a rounded development which includes nurture of the social instincts and the training of certain specific abilities which the normal curricular activities do not afFord, this school year has been marked by the organization of more and more varied clubs than our high school has previously known. In October shortly after the clubs were organized, a study of the facts indicated that 95 of 192 pupils then enrolled were taking active part in one or more of the five clubs then organized. Later with the organization of the two Hi-Y groups and the Girls’ Glee Club, more people became members. Roughly estimated about 60 per cent of the pupils have been enrolled in some extra curricular work. Although we do not feel that we have attained all that is to be desired, both pupils and teachers feel that much profitable work has been done. G. S. Hiers.

THE TUSCOLIAN 43 THE GIRLS’ GYM CLUB President Lottie Brannan Vice President Emma Phillips Secretary-Treasurer ................ Amelia Schroeder Advisors ................Miss Schujahn, Miss Lindberg The Girls’ Gym Club has been in existence for several years. At a meeting held at the first of the year, Lottie Brannan was elected president and Amelia Schroeder, secretary-treasurer. Later a vice-president, Emma Phillips, was elected. The activities of the club are planned and directed by a council consisting of the officers, a senior, junior, and sophomore representative and the advisors of the club. Representatives from the classes are Ruth Gates, Grace Lollar, and Mildred Jones. Regular meetings are held each Monday evening after school in the gymnasium. New members must first earn a required number of points by participation in the athletic work of the club before being admitted. This is done in order to get members into the organization who are really interested. At the beginning of the term, several hikes were taken. Later class basket-ball teams were organized and a Girls’ Basket-ball Tournament was arranged for. This was held on March 16 and 17. The Sophomore team, with Mildred Jones as captain, was the winner, the Seniors took second place; the Juniors, third, and the Freshmen, last. These games were very interesting and we hope that a girls’ tournament will be held each year. Next we took up dancing, and later, out-door sports. On Monday, December 18, the Girls’ Gym Club gave a banquet in honor of the Football Team. This was held in the new cafeteria room. Decorations in the school colors were arranged in an artistic manner. Mr. Hiers was toastmaster and an interesting program was carried out. Seventeen new members were admitted to our ranks on February 22 at an initiation party. The mock initiation afforded much enjoyment to everyone. The girls are now working for a “T.” This can be earned by being present at the floor work held each week and at several other athletic activities. In all their dealings, the Girls’ Gym Club have tried to live up to the preamble of their constitution, which reads as follows: “The purpose of the Girls’ Gym Club is to promote better health among the girls, to provide healthful play, and to stimulate co-operation and sociability among the upper classes in the High School.” —A.

PEDERIXOR CLUB The Boys’ Debating Club was organized in time to participate in the giving of a Hallowe’en party in October, 1921. Its first officers were: Harold Lincoln, President; Donald Rose, Vice President; and William Read, Secretary-Treasurer. The club prospered, and was fairly popular. 1 he name ‘ Pederixor,” Latin for Thinkers On Foot, was given it. In the 1922 Tuscolian, you will find an account of last year’s activities. During the last meeting of last year, the new officers for the following year were elected. They were: Donald Rose, President; Cecil Greene, Vice President; and Max Wayne Vest, Secretary-Treasurer. The activities of the club consist mainly of debates and talks on current topics. The club meets every other Wednesday morning at the opening exercise period. One Interscholastic debate was held; this was on April 20th. Tuscola sent a negative team down to Areola, and they sent a negative team to Tuscola. Tuscola was defeated all around, getting only one judge’s vote out of six. The Club’s purpose is to promote the art of public speaking among its members, and make those members “Thinkers on Foot.” The work has been so encouraging along that line, that we sincerely hope it is carried on next year. p j r 23 2 V Hi THE BLACK AND WHITE DOMINO Left to right: Glen Thompson, Clarabelle Henson, Ruth Gates, Max Vest, Frances Fullerton, Harriett Michener, Marcellus Lane, Joe Busbey, Russel Smith.

President; Glen Thompson, Vice President; Curtis Marsh, Secretary, and Neil Von Lanken, Treasurer. Mr. H. H. Kirkpatrick was chosen leader of the group, and the work progressed very nicely. Meetings were held every Wednesday night, and were usually very well attended. Twenty-six boys belonged to the group, and all were benefitted by the work done by the group. The group was very successful in alhletics and the social meetings were enjoyed. With the aid of A. L. Mayer, District Secretary and B. I. Walker, State Secretary of Boys’ Work, the group became a Registered Hi-Y Club. —C. M., ’24. , . -j HI Y GROUP No. 2 The first meeting was held on October 23rd, 1922. Orus Hall was elected President, Leland Lincoln, Vice President; Frank Michener, Treasurer, and Merrill Fox, Secretary. Ted Howard was elected President soon after the group was well organized, and Milas Thomas was elected Secretary. Basketball was the main sport of the group, and on the whole the group was successful. Mr. Galbreath was first chosen leader, but later, when he resigned, Mr. Ashby was chosen. In his inability to be present, Mr. Hiers acted as leader. There were thirty members when the club was organized, but some dropped out, and there were nineteen on the list about March 1st. —M.

Judd, the county secretary, was highly instrumental in the good start the Y. M. C. A. had in Tuscola and in other towns of the County. Groups were organized in Villa Grove, Areola, Newman, and Tuscola. Leaders for groups were not very plentiful, and this retarded the work somewhat. About two hundred boys were enrolled in May, 1920, however. (Continued on Page 56) THE TUSCOLIAN 48 Second Row: Russel Smith, Weldon Hackett, Owen Wilson, Walter F'ortner, Wm. Scheideman, Wm.

Upon the resignation of Walter Fortner, Willis Heacock was appointed by the Advisory Committee to take his place. The club in the meetings that followed, learned a great deal of theory, and, by examining locally owned sets, gained not a little practical knowledge. A great deal of this knowledge is due to the fact that the club had for its use. the services of Mr. WTiley and Mr. Moulden, both proficient Radio-tricians, and of Mr. Hiers.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was organized soon after school began in October. This organization, which represents the student body, is made up of the presidents and treasurers of all the classes and organizations of the High School. It aids in settling disputes and questions of interest to the students. The Council meetings are called whenever such questions arise. At the first meeting the following officers were elected : President, Harriett Michener; Vice President, Fred Williams; Secretary and Treasurer, Fran-Fullerton. The Study Hall became so disturbed by note writing that the Council after much debating as to the method of procedure, undertook to put an end to it. The plan followed was very satisfactory. Among the other things undertaken by the Council was, improving the conduct in the corridors. To do this conversation rooms were established on each floor to which the students were to go for their conferences.

At the beginning; of the second semester those Freshmen having an average of B plus in Latin may be admitted, the membership not to exceed forty. Marjorie Timm, Juanita Haney, Lois Campbell, Eddie Schiedeman and Frank Michener were new members the second semester. The initiation took place March 23, 1923. The meetings are held twice a month and each program is in charge of two or three members. During the first semester the photoplay “Julius Caesar” was given. The pictures were taken in Rome and gave Caesar’s life from his twenty-first birthday until he gasped, “Et tu Brute.” This is the first Latin club which has ever existed in T. C. H. S. and the name “Verartia” signifies truth, art, and knowledge. No small amount of its success is due to our teacher and advisor, Miss Harriett Sluss. The students have shown much interest and we hope that it will continue a bigger and better club. —G.

It was organized in October, 1922, by the cast of the play “Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!” The club chose the name “Black and White Domino,” and black and white as the colors. Three officers were chosen by the club: President, Frances Fullerton; Vice President, Clarabelle Henson, and Secretary-Treasurer, Russel Smith. The regular meetings were held on every other Thursday. Any one who tries out for, survives the tryout, and takes part in a dramatic activity successfully, and receives a unanimous vote of the club, is eligible to membership in the club. The purposes of the organization are: (1) to help members to acquire poise before an audience, (2) to help members to acquire skill in dramatization, and (3) to help members to acquire a sincere interest in, and appreciation of the interpretation (thought and action) of all that is good in literature. The Black and White Domino club produced “Hearts to Mend,” a Pierot and Pierette play, in December as its first dramatic hour. It was given in the gymnasium. A large crowd attended the play, and pronounced it a success. The second dramatic hour, “Mr. Bob,” was also held in the gymnasium. It was a fairly long comedy, and was played successfully. In February, a play writing contest was conducted by the club. Any one not a member of the club could compete. “Bachelorines,” written by Clara Vaughn, won the prize, and will be produced in May. This will be the first play in the history of the school, written, directed, and produced by students of the school. Near the end of the school year, the club will put on a play with only charter members of the club in the cast. A great part of the success of the club and of the plays which it has presented to the public has been due to the efforts of Miss Pringle and Miss Fuller. They have given us valuable advice and have helped us in every way possible. —R. C. S., ’23.

Wayne, Bob “JANE ANN” SENIOR CLASS PLAY “Jane Ann” a very clever three-act comedy, was presented by the class of ’23 at 8 o’clock Friday evening, April 6, 1923, in the H. S. Auditorium. The cast played to a full house and regretted that many had to be turned away. The author, Miss Jean Carr, is especially noted as a playwright. The huge success of the play was due to Miss Pringle, who so faithfully directed the play, and to Mr. Hiers, who skillfully managed the business affairs. After the play the class held a reception, in honor of the opening of the auditorium. All those who remained were cordially welcomed and were served with light refreshments. The cast in the order of their appearance will be found on page 61. 56 THE TUSCOLIAN Y. M. C. A. IN DOUGLAS COUNTY (Continued from Page 47) Many Older Boys Conferences were attended by members of Douglas County organizations, and a Father and Son Banquet has been held each year in each community in Douglas County since the work started. A county Y athletic meet was held at Areola, in June, 1921, which was a big success. All the towns in the county Y work were represented. About thirty-five boys of the county attended the summer camp at Sconce Lake, near Sidell, 111., in the summer of 1921. There has been a very noticeable advance in attendance and interest is growing all the time. With the resignation of Mr. Judd, the future of the Y work in Tuscola seemed problematic. At the instigation of Mr. C. A. Vest the work was kept alive. An Executive Committee consisting of G. S. Hiers, Chairman; W. K. Fullerton, and Dr. C. L. Hine was appointed and has been responsible for the maintenance of the work. It is hoped that this work will continue. —C. M., ’24. ,« , THE T. C. H. S. R. C.

The set is a very powerful one, and was used a few' times to give concerts to audiences assembled in the auditorium, once under the auspices of the club itself. The club has prospered, and has contributed considerably to the general knowledge of radio among the unitiated of T. C. H. S. —W. H., ’25. , : t . THE STUDENT COUNCIL (Continued from Page 49) Two plans used for establishing the treasury of the Student Council were: Selling Eskimo Pies, etc., at a couple of basket-ball games, and by a “Ladies Home Journal” selling contest in which the whole school took part. With part of this money the Council shared with the Senior class the cost of a standard embossing die for the cover of the “Tuscolian.” A Hallowe’en party was given by the Council for the student body, the different organizations sharing in the expense. This was a great success, every one enjoying the costumes, games, fortune-telling booths, and “last but not least” the refreshments. —C. H., ’24. “1 58 THE TUSCOLIAN Junior-Senior Reception The first of the series of social events pertaining to the closing of school, was the Junior-Senior Reception, which was held at the Odd Fellows Hall on May 12, 1922. This annual event is the most elaborate of all the school affairs, and this year it was on an equal with any of those of preceding years. The hall was appropriately and artistically decorated to represent a flower garden, the colors of the two classes and flowers being used. The banquet was an elegant one and was prepared by the ladies of the South Side Christian Church, and served by some members of the lower classes. With Irene Dickenson acting as toastmistress, the following program was given, carrying out the flower-garden scheme: Cream Rose Greets and Bids Farewell to Tulip..........Harriet Michener Tulip Answers Cream Rose ...................................John Bruhn The Garden Pays Tribute to the Soil .....................Harold Lincoln The Soil Acknowledges the Garden ...........................G. S. Hiers Tulips and Roses of the Garden ............................Gladys Hunt The Gardener .................................... H. H. Kirkpatrick After the banquet we adjourned to the main lodge room, where music was furnished by an orchestra, made up of local talent. A very pleasant evening was spent in floral romance and dancing. E. P., ’23. H. S. Hallowe’en Party hat could all this screeching of owls, meowing of cats, and swishing of brooms mean ? Why it is a Hallowe’en party in the gym, of course. Here come the merry revellers in the grand march. They are led by a couple popularly called “Uncle and Aunty;” then come witches, clowns, cow-boys, ghosts, and quaint little milk maids. The first prize was awarded to “Uncle and Aunty,” who proved to be Russell Smith and William Clapper. The second went to the tallest witch present, who is known, in school life, as Vivian Moon. Charline Lester, representing a milk-maid, received third. The prizes having been awarded, many flocked to the fortune tellers’ booth to have their futures revealed, while others participated in some lively games. In keeping with the season, several blood-curdling ghost stories were told. Perhaps the most important part of the evening was yet to come, namely the eats, which consisted of cider and doughnuts. After all had partaken heartily of the refreshments, they went home, leaving the gym to the Hallowe’en spirits and pumpkin faces. THE TUSCOLIAN 59 Freshman Picnic The social season for the freshmen began with a wiener roast on October 18 at the Kaskaskia School, three miles west of town. As it was the first get-together affair of the freshmen, it was enjoyed by every one present. Miss Fuller, one of the class sponsors, accompanied them. Go, Freshies Go! —E. P., ’23. Junior Picnic The Juniors started their social ball rolling with a weiner roast, held at Rice’s woods on Wednesday, October the eighteenth. Five cars of “flighty” Juniors were unloaded at the picnic grounds soon after school. After devouring many hot dogs, burnt and otherwise, with buns, and some apples, and indulging in some strenuous games, they started back home, arriving safely,—which was a wonder. —E. P., ’23. Sophomore Picnic The first social gathering of the Sophomore class was held on Monday evening, October the sixteenth, at the Kaskaskia school house. Of course, something had to go wrong. When they arrived there, nobody had any matches. However, that absence of matches was only temporary, and the short delay sharpened the appetites of the party. As a proof of the sharpened appetites, one member of the party got in such a hurry that she burned her mouth trying to eat a burning marshmallow. The entire class was not there owing to the damp and cool weather, but those who were there, left declaring that they had had a very good 60 THE TUSCOLIAN Junior Box Supper On January 28, the Junior class gave a box supper in the 11. S. Gym. It was not only supported well by the other classes, but also by the townspeople. The Juniors presented a clever little program that was enjoyed by all. The first part consisted of several jokes given by a young man and lady—the man being Curtis Marsh and the lady, we later found to be David Bailey. The second act was by a six piece (fake) orchestra. Last but not least was a court scene. Caesar Cecil Coyne Green was tried and acquitted of chewing gum. A cake was given to Grace Lollar for being the most popular young lady and a box of candy to Leland Lincoln, the most popular young man. Elbert Crossman received an appropriate prize for having the largest feet of all (almost the most clumsy). (Bill Clapper left early.) ’• Girls’ Gym Club Initiation On February 22, the charter members of the gym club initiated the new members, who had faithfully earned the required number of points, into their organization. At seven-thirty we assembled in 810, where the initiation took place. The following girls successfully survived the pecu-liary rites: Harriet Bell, Lyra Bird, Wilma Cedusky, Lois Clyse, Martha Gill, Christine Hutson, Elizabeth Innis, Mildred Jones, Irene Koehn, Rachel Morris, Eunice Roles. Dorothy Shreve, Anna Smith and Dorothy Rose. After the initiation was over, all the “Sister Rabbits” hopped down to room 102 where dainty refreshments were served. E. P. THE TUSCOLIAN 63 ATHLETICS TO THE SUBSTITUTE You talk of the half back whose 60 yard dash Won the game with a minute to go; You rave of the full back whose off-tackle smash Had the drive of a sledge-hammer blow. You mention the center whose passing was great, And the tackles who opened the way For the backs to plunge through in comet-like gait, And the ends who broke up each play. That’s all very well and no doubt you are right, But here’s one you should not overlook— He’s the chap who struggles with all of his might, Yet his name’s never seen in the book. So I’ll give my praise to the Substitute— The fellow the crowd doesn’t see, As it stands on its feet to wildly root For the stars of the Varsity. —By A. L. C., in the Wake of the News— The Chicago Tribune of Oct. 27, 1922. 64 THE TUSCOLIAN Top Row: Coach MeWherter, Ed Scheideman. Chas. Bostic, Carl Gross.

Tuscola’s football eleven defeated the Newman eleven on the Tuscola home grid 17-0 through good team work by the whole team. The scoring was done by Ross, Bostic, Moody, and Vest alternating, carrying the ball down to Newman’s twenty yard line and Bostic kicking the ball between the goal post for a field goal with his trained toe. A fumble by Newman, Vest got the ball shortly after and tumbled over the goal and ended the scoring for the first quarter. A couple of fumbles by Newman and Bostic made a long run carrying the ball down to Newman’s five yard line and Ross plunged through the line for a touchdown. They lined up and tried for a goal, the ball went wide but the official gave Tuscola the point because of some of the Newman’s line were off sides. In the second half Newman held Tuscola pretty well, they having played one game before and this being Tuscola’s first, although Tuscola completed several passes. , j TUSCOLA vs. ARTHUR—Oct. 7. 1922. Tuscola kicked off to Arthur then held them for downs and forced them to kick. With the ball in their possession they made two or three good gains, through off tackle plays and line plunges, but they could not get to the goal and were forced to kick. The ball see-sawed up and down the field, but no scoring was done in the first half. Second half, Quarterback Vest opened with an aerial attack. A few short passes were completed for short gains, but at last with about twenty yards to go in two downs, Clapper received a 25-yard pass and trotted along for about 25 yards for a touchdown. The try for a point failed. The Tuscola team now had the Arthur team on the run with their aerial attack going fine. Cully caught one of their passes, and managed to juggle it up to the five yard line, then Moody plunged over for a touchdown. The goal was kicked by Bostic. Then Bostic got in a hurry and ran off from the boys for another touchdown. The try for goal failed. The game ended Tuscola 19, Arthur 0. 66 THE TUSCOLIAN URBANA vs. TUSCOLA—At Urbana, Oct. 14, 1922. Urbana kicked off to Tuscola, Bostic grasping the ball and progressing down the field for about 25 yards, before being stopped by his opponents. The first quarter, Tuscola played Urbana off their feet, making long gains, Urbana not having the ball once during the quarter. The playing was all done in Urbana’s territory. The second quarter, Tuscola fumbled and, Urbana pulled a trick play for a touchdown, but failed to kick goal. The first half ended Urbana 6, Tuscola 0. The second half, Tuscola came back stronger than ever, but luck seemed to be against them and they couldn’t score. Urbana made another touchdown in the fourth quarter just before the whistle blew, and kicked goal. The score was Urbana 13, Tuscola 0. , j MONTICELLO vs. TUSCOLA—At Monticello, Oct. 21, 1922. The Tuscola warriors pulled off tackle plays and line smashing for good gains, and worked the ball down to their 5 yard line, but were penalized. In the second quarter, they opened up with their pretty aerial work first. Bostic, then Moody would cop off one for good gains and at last Vest pulled one down and got almost to the goal. Bostic crashed over for a touchdown, and then kicked the ball over for a point. First half: Tuscola 7. Monticello 0. In the third quarter, Monticello pulled an onside kick which was unnoticed by the Tuscola fellows, and got away for a touchdown, but failed to kick goal. The Tuscola team had a trick which they turned loose in the fourth quarter. The Tuscola squad worked the ball down within 10 yards of the goal, then something happened. Moody and Bostic were tackled, but Vest walked over the goal with the ball. The try for goal failed. End of game: Tuscola 13, Monticello, 6. TUSCOLA vs. MATTOON—Oct. 28, 1922. The Tuscola lads, after being outplayed for the first half of the game, came back strong in the second half, and defeated the Mattoon eleven on the Tuscola field. The first was all Mattoon’s, although they could not put the ball over for a marker. The second quarter was decidely Mattoon’s, although the Tuscola lads were beginning to show their stuff. The Mattoon THE TUSCOLIAN 67 team, on failing to gain ground, kicked to Tuscola. Bostic grasped the ball, and made a forty yard gain before the Mattoon boys downed him. Tuscola made their first down once, but were unable to repeat the act. A try for field goal failed. Mattoon received the ball, but the half ended before they were able to do anything with it. The third quarter started with a forward pass, Monroe gaining twenty yards. Bostic then added eight yards, and a line plunge made it first down on Mattoon’s twenty yard line. Three plays failed. Then Bostic and Vest grouped as for a punt. Somehow Clapper wormed over the line and received a pass, making Tuscola’s first touchdown. Bostic’s trained toe soon added another point. After Tuscola kicked off, the ball changed hands several times, but was gradually worked down the field until Bostic added another six points. The try for goal failed. The playing worked back and forth, up and down the field, until finally Vest caught a pass and rushed through the entire Mattoon team for a touchdown. Another point was soon added when Bcstic did his stuff, following the touchdown. The game was featured by the excellent work of Bostic and Vest, and by the defensive work of Moody, Smith and Williamson, who showed up well on the line. The game ended with the score Tuscola 20, and Mattoon 0. VILLA GROVE vs. TUSCOLA. Tuscola kicked off first. Both teams played about even, neither making gain, each failing in forward passes and kicks. In the second quarter, the Tuscola lads found themselves, and made good gains. Bostic carried the oval over for the first touchdown, and kicked the ball between the posts for an additional point. In the third quarter, Villa Grove received the ball, but were held three downs. They tried a punt, but Tuscola blocked it. Vest recovered the ball, and romped over the line for six more points. The fourth quarter, after completing a number of passes, the Tuscola lads found themselves on the Villa Grove ten yard line. Then Bostic smashed over the line for another touchdown. Clapper next, good-naturedly, crossed the goal for the final points. Final score 20-0. 68 THE TUSCOLIAN TUSCOLA vs. ATWOOD—Nov. 18. Tuscola and Atwood met in their annual battle on the Atwood grid, but the question of supremacy was not settled, as the score was 6-6 when the game ended. The Tuscola team looked mighty bad in the first half, and was clearly out-played. All of the play in the first two quarters was in Tuscola territory, and about a minute before the half was up, one of the Reeders went over for a touchdown. In the second half the Tuscola team came to life and succeeded in getting a touchdown late in the third quarter, when Bostic hurled a pass which was snagged by Clapper and carried over. The try for point failed. .4 .4 .4 TUSCOLA vs. MAHOMET—Nov. 24. The first quarter of the battle was pretty well fought, but Moody slipped across the opponents’ line for a marker, and Vest, who was kicking goals that day, Bostic being ill, missed the goal. The second quarter was anybody’s quarter. The third quarter was mostly an aerial battle on both sides. Bill Scheideman intercepted a pass, and rushing down the field, behind perfect interference, made a touchdown. Max booted the ball over the goal for another point, this ending the third quarter. The fourth quarter stated with Tuscola kicking off to Mahomet. The game was pretty hard fought to the end, the Mahomet gang coming back with a kick, but the Tuscola lads succeeded in hanging up another score. The game ended with the score 19-0. J ,4 ,« TUSCOLA vs. ARCOLA—Nov. 30. Outweighed, outplayed, outlucked nevertheless putting up a very stiff fight, tells the story of the defeat of the Tuscola team by Areola in the annual Thanksgiving fight. The Tuscola team, weakened by the absence of Bostic, and the early injury of Clapper, put up a stubborn battle, and for over three quarters, kept the Areola bunch at bay. In the fourth quarter, the Areola team, after getting the ball on their own 20 yard line, carried it to our three yard line, and then it was knocked out of their hands, rolling over the line, to be fallen on by an Areola man, thus scoring the only points of the game. The game was played in a dashing downpour of rain before a crowd of 2000 spectators, 1000 of whom were Tuscolians. The Band and Legion Drum Corps accompanied the team, and played encouragingly and often. The game ended 6-0. —F. W., ’23. F Vt$t THE TUSCOLIAN 71 FOOTBALL MEN CHARLES MONROE (Cully) End They were few and far between, the men who got around Cully’s end. RUSSELL SMITH (Russ) Guard Long and lanky, he could certainly make a hole on his side of center. DWIGHT MOODY (Moody) Half When a few yards were needed for first down, Moody could be depended upon to make it off tackle. MAX VEST (Max) Quarter A heady field general, Max made his share of the gains and points. FRED WILLIAMS (Freddie) Cheer Leader Long and faithful have been his efforts. When he was on the side lines, the players at no time were without cheers. CAPT. FRED RAHN (Fritz) Center No one ever worried about the pass from center as long as Fritz covered the ball. CECIL GREEN (Caesar) Tackle Captain-Elect Caesar lived up to his namesake. He was some man who got by Caesar. He should make one of Tuscola’s best captains. WILLIAM SCHEIDEMAN (Bill) Guard Bill showed at Mahomet that he could carry the ball as well as star at guard. WILLIAM CLAPPER (Bill) End It was a sight to behold, when Bill would draw in that pigskin to his loving breast and scamper over the goal line. PAUL WILLIAMSON (P. J.) Tackle Some boy, that P. J. He smashed every play that came his way. ELBERT CROSSMAN (Freedie) Tackle and Guard Either at tackle or at guard, Freedie always did his share. HAROLD STEVEN (Stevie) End Although small, he helped in scrimmage. CHARLES BOSTIC (Farmer) Half His passes were always accurate and his running superb. He was our triplethreat man. CARL GROSS (Gross) Full It was always pitiful for the opposing line when Gross came ploughing thru it. LELAND LINCOLN (Dutch) Half Although only a Freshman, he could surely hit that line. VICTOR ROSS (Vic) Full and End Sickness stopped Vic's career at Full, but in the Areola game he showed he was no slouch at End. FRANK VEST (Cookie) Quarter Always at hand when needed. Cookie should make his letter next year. ED SCHEIDEM AN (Spark Plug) Half and Full Always full of pep, he was always there when called on. ORVILLE FOSTER (Foster) Guard He was always willing to do his part. ORl S HALL (Hall) Quarter A faithful sub and always helping in scrimmage. FRANK MICHENER (Frankie) Half The smallest man on the squad. He had lots of nerve. TED HOWARD (Cob) Guard The bumps from the bigger fellows were never too hard for Cob to take. HORACE HACKETT (Tat) Assistant Cheer Leader Fred was never in need of help to lead cheers when Tat was there. COACH McWHERTER (Mac) He would sometimes tell the teams what fools they were, but the result always came out in favor of our teams. 72 THE TUSCOLIAN Wm. Clapper, Capt. Chas.

Forward THE TUSCOLIAN 73 THE SEASON ON THE BASKET BALL FLOOR The basket-ball season of 1922-’23 proved to be one of many glorious victories, including one over the State Champions, and a few close defeats. The team this year looked very promising, with four letter men, namely, Capt. Monroe, Carl Gross, Charles Bostic, and Max Vest. Together with these were on the door, Bill Clapper, who played some at Mahomet, several good subs from last year including Neil Von Lanken, Frank Vest, Ed Scheideman, and Cecil Greene, and, also, Bill Morris of last year’s Areola team. The new gym was opened with the game with Decatur. Tuscola led until the last quarter, and then something happened, and Decatur nosed out a winner, 17 to 14. The next week-end the team went to Villa Grove for a scheduled basket-ball game, which more resembled a football game or a prize fight. Both teams played fairly even at first. Then Tuscola had an attack of sleeping sickness of the same kind which lost the Decatur game. Villa Grove gained a nine point lead which Tuscola could not overcome. Final score was 14 to 6. Tuscola swamped Garrett in a practice game 34 to 18, during the week. Then on Saturday night the team traveled to Decatur. The game was rather fast for an early season game. Tuscola lead most of the way, and this time retained the lead to the end, winning 16 to 13. Monticello was met next on the home floor. The long shots of Plunk wrere too much for our team, and they won 26 to 18. Newman was encountered the following week, and met defeat 22 to 18. Tuscola next lost a very fast and close game to Atwood, chiefly because of Harshbarger’s foul shooting. Tuscola lost 22 to 18 in the last two minutes. The trip to Areola in the rain was all in vain, as the lights w'ent out as soon as we arrived. The next night we went to Sullivan, and made the poorest showing of the season. They took advantage of the team’s slump and came near winning. Tuscola speeded up at the last, and wron, 18 to 14. The team got down to work the next week for the County Tournament, which opened Thursday night. Tuscola and Villa Grove played 74 THE TUSCOLIAN the second game. The writeup of the tournament is found elsewhere in this section. It is enough to say that Tuscola defeatd Villa Grove, who later became State Champions, 25 to 23, in the fastest game on the home floor this last season. Revenge is often very sweet. It proved to be so against Monticello, the first game after the Tournament. Gross went wild and made eight “buckets.” The roughly played game ended in favor of Tuscola, 26 to 18. The next night Tuscola played at Urbana. The effects of the game of the preceding night, showed up, and Urbana won, 19 to 9. Areola came up the next Friday night, and were defeated, 25 to 18, in a slow uninteresting game. Before one of the largest crowds that ever attended a home game this year. Tuscola met defeat at the hands of Champaign. The score was tied three times in the last two minutes, but Champaign won, 28 to 23. The last game on the home floor was with Arthur. They were easily defeated, 26 to 9. The following week end was the district tournament. We defeated Champaign 20 to 12 on Friday morning. Then Friday afternoon, Urbana again defeated Tuscola in a hard fought game, 17 to 14. —M. W. V., ’23. DOPE ! Tuscola....................25 Villa Grove ...............23 Villa Grove................32 Rockford .................. 28 Rockford took second place in the National tournament. A noted athletic authority said that Villa Grove theoretically defeated 500 teams. Therefore, from all dope, Tuscola must have defeated 501 teams. Villa Grove defeated Rockford for the State Championship. Then Rockford took second place in the National tournament, being defeated only by the National Champions. Now Tuscola defeated Villa Grove; Villa Grove defeated Rockford; Rockford was defeated in the final game for National Championship. Therefore, believe it or not, Tuscola must be on a par with the National Champions, Kansas City, Kansas. M. W. V., ’23. THE TUSCOLIAN 75 THE SQUAD Standing: MeWherter, Von Lanken. Howard, Day. Campbell, Rose, Hine, Read, Haney. Seated: Shick, Morris, Vest, Clapper, Gross, Monroe, Bostic, Scheideman, Greene, Vest. THE TOURNAMENT Great preparations had been made prior to February 1, 2 and 3, for the county Basketball Tournament which, at a conference of principals and coaches, held sometime previous, it was determined to be held in the newly finished gymnasium of the Tuscola C. H. S., the best in the County. For some days before students and faculty members had been scurrying about the building, putting up decorations, fixing seats and etc. The team was put through strenuous training, and by the time Thursday the first, arrived, all was in readiness. The first session was to be Thursday night. This session was generally believed to be the most important session of the Tournament because it was this night that the Tuscola-Villa Grove game was to be played. The winner of the game would win the Tournament. Friday, there were two sessions; one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Saturday there were three sessions; one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one at night. The general admission to the tournament was 35 cents, students, 25 cents. Season tickets sold for $2.00. The season sale went very big, promising good crowds. The officials of the Tournament were: Guy Collins, Westville; and Moyer, Champaign, referee and umpire, alternately; and M. H. Sogolow, Urbana, time-keeper. 76 THE TUSCOLIAN Following is given a short sketch of each session: THURSDAY NIGHT—Newman defeated Areola in a fairly good game. Score, 23-12. Tuscola defeated Villa Grove in the fastest, most exciting game that has been played this season. Score. 25-23. Five minutes’ overtime was necessary in order to break a 23-23 tie after a neck and neck race in which neither team had the advantage. Garrett beat Hindsboro, 21-16 in a good game. The games of this session were played before a crowd which taxed the ushers to the utmost in finding seats for the people. FRIDAY AFTERNOON—This session was not attended so well.

THE INTER-CLASS BASKET HALL On the sixth of December the coach decided to hold a class tournament, so he drew up a schedule for the games to be played on the coming Tuesday, Dec. 12, and Wednesday, Dec. 13. The games on Tuesday were between the Sophies and Seniors which the Seniors won in a hard battle by a score of 11 to 7. The second game of the evening was between the Freshies and Juniors which the Juniors easily wron by a score of 42 to 6. On the following day there was supposed to have been two sessions, but it was decided not to have the other games then, so they were put off until January 10 when the Sophies beat the Juniors 28 to 6 and the Seniors beat the Freshies 32 to 14 in two of the slowest games of the tournament. There were still two games left to be played, and it was decided to play them on January 24. On this day the Seniors met the Juniors and knocked them for a row of steam heated ice wagons by a score of 45 to 7, establishing the high score of the tournament. In the second game of that session the Sophies defeated the Freshies 36 to 12 in an interesting game with Read of the Freshies and Gross of the Sophies making spectacular shots from all points on the floor. The results of the tournament looked like this: First, Seniors; sec- ond, Sophies; third, Juniors, and fourth, Freshies. There was not an all-star team selected, but from the reports the following persons were picked to be superior: Guard.....Monroe (Senior) (Capt.) Guard ............Bostic. (Sophie) Center .............Vest (Senior) Forward .......Thompson (Senior) Forward ...........Gross (Sophie) Guard ..........Williamson (Sophie) Guard .............Greene (Junior) Center ...........Clapper (Junior) Forward ........... Read (Freshie) Forward ......Von Lanken (Junior) —G. A. T„ ’23. 80 THE TUSCOLIAN GIRLS’ BASKET BALL The position of boys’ basketball in the high school has for many years been so secure that its influence and value are hardly questioned. Girls’ basketball, as an organized school project, is a comparatively new institution, and has yet to establish itself firmly in the calendar of the school, and in the minds of its patrons. Not many years should pass before people here will be thinking as much of girls’ sports as of boys’ athletics. The value of this new work will be just the same as that customarily attributed to the athletic activities of the young men. The girls who participate in the work will not only receive the benefits of physical exercise such as a stronger body and a clearer mind, but they will also develop more of that admirable spirit of sportsmanship, of loyalty to their team, their class, their school. By learning to conquer difficulties, they sharpen a sense of appreciation of the difficulties of others. In basketball this is partciularly true. Girls who learn the rules on the floor realize the difficulty of abiding by them, and they enjoy with a keener sense of appreciation the finesse and tactics of a boys’ contest game. Then, too, there is the desire for fun, for activity for its own sake, prompted by the instincts of emulation and play. Girls have long realized some of these advantages. They have felt the urge of these instincts, and have made brave attempts to gratify them. The greatest handicap was lack of space in which to practice. This year, however, the new gymnasium afforded ample room and with a fair distribution of time among the boys and girls the latter made use of every opportunity. Many girls came out who had never played before. Each class organized a team, and with the first series of inter-class games, interest was stimulated to such an extent that the various class teams clamored for practice time. The series was played between January 30 and February 23. As the Freshmen and Sophomores had the highest percentage, they had the privilege of playing the first game in public on February 23. After this, plans were made for the tournament which was held March 16 and 17. The tournament brought out some swift games, which surprised and amused the audience. The results are as follows: Sophomores, first place; Seniors, second place; Juniors, third place; Freshmen fourth place. The Sophomores deserved first place because of their swift machinelike play. The officials of the tournament made the following selections for the all-high school teams: First—Mildred Jones, center; Irene Koehn, forward, captain; Lyra Bird, forward-Juanita Haney, guard; Mildred Harrington, guard. Second—Christine Hutson, center; Emma Phillips, forward, captain; Dorothv Rose, forward; Thelma Crites, guard; Rachel Morris, guard. I. K. S. THE TUSCOLIAN 81 BASKET BALL Winter is here with a thrill for all, Bringing the game of basket-ball. What school does not swell with pride, As it watches its forwards’ manly stride. The center, too, is made of steel; He makes the rooters rock and reel As he starts to work the offensive, too, And easily tosses the basket-ball through. They play the game both fast and hard— But we must not forget the running guard. He stops the ball with pep and vim, And shoots it through the iron rim. The standing guard is like a stone wall; They tie into him, and he gets the ball. The forwards have it before you could ask it, And the center comes down, and makes a basket. There never was a team so fleet. They never heard the word “defeat.” They fight for us through thick and thin, And We’ll yell for them, “We’ll win! We’ll win!” So right here on this glad day, Let us to them, our tribute pay. Now all join in two hundred strong, And yell for them till our breath is gone. —F. Fortner, ’24. THE TUSCOLIAN 82 This Page Is Dedicated to Our Janitors What would our beautiful brand new high school building look like if we did not have these two efficient janitors, namely Scott Belles, janitor-in-chief, and Raymond Kennedy, assistant janitor-in-chief, to keep it bright and shiny? We’ll leave that to your imagination. These men have been getting up early and going to bed late, working hard to keep the building clean, warm in winter, and cool in summer, straightening up after every day’s school hours, and after club meetings and entertainments and athletics. We now give these the vote of thanks which they have won. —D. J.
