THE TUSCOLIAN Published oAnnually by the SENIOR CLASS of the TUSCOLA COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL TUSCOLA, ILLINOIS VOLUME V Cu$jColian EDITORIAL As the TUSCOLIAN is the only record of activities in the Tuscola Community High School, it has been our purpose to edit an annual which represents our high school life in all its various phases. We have tried to publish an annual which would instruct as well as entertain the reader, and to which we could turn with pleasure in future years. We have also endeavored to catch the old spirit of T. C. H. S. and embed it into this book in such a way that the reader would feel it. If we have accomplished any of this, we feel that our work has been a success. WE, as the Senior Class of 1925, then, present this TUSCOLIAN to you for your approval. May its reception be favorable. Maynard Hine, Editor-in-Chief. W5 Two CTuscolian I DEDICATION TO MISS HARRIET J. SLUSS AND GUY R. COLLINS We respectfully dedicate the 1925 Tuscolian in grateful recognition of their services to us. Whatever success this book may attain is due to the untiring efforts of our class advisers. 1925 .9r srj j£kr s r;y Three Cuscolian MAIN HALL FRONT ENTRANCE 0 2X3NS 5 Q GNa 1925 S SX SX0 v9O Five [OuscoUan CAFETERIA HOME ECONOMICS Cy2 5Ne S Q 3Na 1925 l r C£ r0C ) K9O Six WaiSYNKAO wniHoxianv � tt|03snj2 sy -Skc skc Cuscolian Q'cKarczsk asc PHYSICS MANUAL TRAINING 1925 £KcX£X X£ rc 0 Eight snsCu$jcoIiau BOARD OF EDUCATION Dr. George Fuller, President Mr. Roy H.

Twenty-four Cu$jCoIian HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1925 It was a stout and loyal group of Freshmen who tramped up the stairs of the old high school building, which burned on October 12, 1921, not more than a month after the school term had commenced. This is the last class from the Tuscola High School to be graduated which experienced that term in the old building and Court House which the supervisors so kindly let us occupy. Our first class advisors were Miss Pringle and Mr. McWherter and officers Juanita Haney, President; Eddie Scheideman, Vice-President; and Maynard Hine, Secretary-Treasurer. From the first this class was rec-cognized as one of ability. Walter Fortner took up the reins of president the next year; Irene Koehn, Vice-President; Eddie Scheideman, Treasurer; and Dorothy Scoggin, Secretary. Our advisers were Miss Webber and Miss Lindberg. Both years we contributed our share of members to the athletic teams and to various clubs, the Honor Roll and Hunkers list. In athletics, two of our members, Charles Bostic and Carl Gross deserve special mention because they entered all athletics offered and made all the teams. Upon entering the Junior year, the class called for demure Dorothy Scoggin as President; evil Eddie Scheideman, as Vice-President, and witty Juanita Haney as Secretary-Treasurer. That year we presented “Miss Somebody Else,” a clever play in three acts which was coached by our class advisers, Miss Lindburg and Miss Lewis. In entertaining the Seniors, we accomplished a very remarkable feat, that of bringing part of China to our midst through Chinese decorations. During the summer months, between our Junior and Senior years, we became very conscious of the position we would occupy when we came back to high school; but upon trying to assert this imaginative power, we found that it was not so very influential in the class rooms so we devoted most of our attempts to understanding those deep text books. Even though that has taken up a great amount of time, we found time to elect Maynard Hine, President; Eddie Scheideman, Vice-President; and Dorothy Scoggin, Secretary-Treasurer, and chose Mr. Collins and Miss Sluss as class advisers. We presented an “Indoor Chautauqua,” which had various attractions, during our senior year, and plan to give a play in the spring. Also we intend to finish this year with the best grades and behavior possible so as to leave a pleasant memory with our teachers and schoolmates. J. H. “ ’25.” CV3 3nC2 nQ 5M3.|192 Twenty-five Cuscolian CLASS PROPHECY It was the week before graduation on a warm, moonlight evening when, very bored, we were sitting in our creaking porch swing, with nothing to do and plenty of time to do it in. Life was dull indeed; so we indulged in that favorite sport of graduating students, namely—wondering about the future. Then (maybe we were dreaming, or moonstruck) down the silver path of moonbeams came a tall muffled figure, leaning on a silver wand. The floating, silver-gray draperies covered even the face, but as we gazed awestruck, the strange apparation spoke benevolently in clear, deep tones. “So you were wondering what the future holds for your classmates and you. Look closely, and your wish shall be granted, for I am Destiny.” He waved his silver wand, and a brightly lighted stage appeared before us. “The Stage of Life; Time, 1940.” said Destiny. We leaned forward eagerly as the heavy curtains were drawn back. Destiny chatted on, explaining the characters to us as they appeared. The first person who passes across the stage of Life is Charles Bostic. The same Charles, now manager of the C. I. P. S., a little heavier, perhaps, is still the star all-round athlete on the company’s team. He is a bachelor, but has not given up hope yet. Louise Cain, now Mrs. Weldon Hackett, enters, followed by two small, blue-eyed, golden haired youngsters. Happy as can be, she finds time after her work is done to attend the Farm Women’s Improvement Society, and the box suppers at Craft School. Her friend, Dorothy Rose, is on the Chautauqua circuit, playing piano solos and being an accompanist for Mira Voelkel, a talented singer. These two musicians are already knocking at the Hall of Fame, and an early response is looked for. This sad faced, quiet, yet forceful person, is Sonny Darling, the foremost judge in Chicago, and the scourge of evil doers. He is prosperous, and an influence to be reckoned with in national politics. Still one feels that there has been a tragedy in his life, which nothing can lessen. Where is she now, he wonders? Ed. Scheideman, who made a fortune in stockbroking on a lucky gamble, quit work and has toured the world. He acquired a charming French bride on the way. Ed is as gay as ever, with a dash of foreign mannerisms that adds much to his fascination. The Garber girls stroll by, arm in arm. They live in Mattoon now, where Lois teaches school, and Mary is assistant librarian. A dazzling Spanish dancer whirls across the stage. She is Juanita Haney, the chief attraction at the Palace Theater on Broadway, where she draws huge crowds night after night by her charming smile and twinkling feet. Raleigh Colwell is now a popular author. His mystery stories thrill millions of readers. Little did we suspect, years ago, that he would shine in the field of literature. A green and yellow taxicab shoots over the stage, turns around on two wheels, and backs off, snorting, Here Destiny chuckles, for the man at the wheel is Sherman Dobbins, the dare-devil of the Tuscola Cab Co. Twenty six c s e N2xlssa fi ICuscolian I This model housewife, who holds aloft a pie—Oh, such a pie, three inches thick, and oh, so good—is Martha Owens, formerly Martha Gill. Harry made a wise choice, for she is the champion cook of Douglas County. One, two, one, two! Eunice Roles and Edith Hance come in, practicing the new folk dance. They are the girls’ athletic coaches at Newman. ( arl Cross, happily married, walks by with his youngest son, who kicks a football energetically. Carl, now the president of the Decatur National Bank, has little time for football, but he encourages his boys to play. Mabel Calimese, who now teaches English in a school of her race, has not changed much during the years. This affable storekeeper is Melville Cook, of Galton, 111. He specializes in allday suckers, red bandanas, and Camel cigarettes, as these are the most .popular articles he sells. Two handsome couples, apparently as much in love as ever, now take the spotlight. The children are tucked safely and they are on their way to a movie. Yes, it is Mr. and Mrs. Von Lanken, and Mr. and Mrs. Vest. Neil is a rising newspaper man, and Cookie owns a radio supply shop. Dorothy and Ruth are as lovely as ever. This important looking person is Gerald Campbell, the wealthy Ford dealer of Jacksonville, Illinois, also president of the Chamber of Commerce there. He has married a Jacksonville girl, and they are ideally happy. Louise Tay, that business-like woman before us, is private secretary to Freda Hopkins, the talented star of filmdom. Freda has earned a place among the famous character actresses by her skillful interpretations. Elizabeth Innis and Katherine Shepherd keep a tiny tea shop called the “Purple Peanut” at Pesotum. It is the Mecca of dancers on dance night, for the entertaining owners are as delightful as their shop. Willis Hcacock looks strangely thin on the stage of Life. Ah! Well! Fifteen years—and he has been a rural route mail carrier all these years. He walks to the end of his route, then calls for his car, and rides back in ease. Vivian Moon, the girl in the neat blue uniform, is a Welfare Worker in Indianapolis. Ed Bailey, looking somewhat the worse for wear, crosses the stage wearily. He runs a small feed mill at Atwood. We suspect Polly is the cause of his heartbroken look. And David! Oh, can this be “Daisy,” this worried, harrassed creature! Yes, for he slaves his life away trying to eke out a miserable living doing public typing by day, and playing at the Strand by night. Shh! He’s trying to pay his huge debt at Buerhig’s. Daisy’s sweethearts were always hungry. This determined looking matron in the striped sport suit is Irene, now the devoted wife of a Congregational minister. Every day she takes her round of golf at the Country Club to preserve her figure. Mildred has married the President of the New York Central Railroad. Now she gives artistic teas, attends lectures on advanced thought, and helps struggling young poets. It is all a passing fad with her, but she is a true Bohemian while it lasts. T went y seven Cuscolian c cy °y SJ 'cX9YcX . Helen Murray Reeder, in the gingham gown, is a typical farmer’s wife, who helps Stote do the feeding, so they can go to town for the band concert. This distinguished looking person bowing to the applause of the audience is Maynard Hine, the famous scientist. He has just given to the world another famous invention. We recognize one of his assistants as Georgia Henegar. An aeroplane does a thrilling nose dive down to the stage. Who is the daring pilot? He removes his helmet. He is Paul Williamson, the most reckless stunt pilot of Barnum and Bailey circus. “And now for yourselves,” said Destiny. “Yes, yes!” said we. But before Destiny could reveal our own future, the long suffering porch swing gave a final creak, and down we crashed! We looked up, but Destiny had disappeared, and only the moon remained, smiling mysteriously. C. L. and C. V. ’25. CLASS WILL The last will and testament of the class of 1925, of the City of Tuscola, County of Douglas, State of Illinois, made this twenty-eighth day of February in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-five. We, the Senior Class of 1925 of said city of Tuscola, being of sound mind, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament.

Second: It is our wish that all oustanding bills be paid in full and our funeral expenses be justified. Third: If the class of 1926 receives any compensation at the next drawing day, following the paying of these said bills it is our wish that they erect a monument in memory of the class of 1925.

It is our will and our most solemn wish that if any difference or misunderstandings shall arise or happen concerning this will, the same shall be referred to the Junior Class with power to choose and referee. Lastly, we do appoint the President of the class of 1926 as executor of this will and testament, and do adjure him solemnly to carry out our wishes as expressed above. Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the class of 1925 as its last will and testament, in the presence of the undersigned. Seal: Guy R. Collins Dorothy Scoggin, Secretary. Harriet J. Sluss.

We were the first class of Freshmen to enter the new building. We immediately held a class meeting and elected Miss Fuller and Mr. MacWherter as our class advisers. Constance Sturgell was President; Leland Lincoln, Vice-President; Lawrence Griffeth, Secretary, and Ted Howard, Treasurer. As all Freshmen must have their good times, we planned a picnic, but of course it rained, so we went to the gym and had our fun there. We ended the year rejoicing that next year we, as Sophies, could laugh at the mistakes of the Freshies, as we had been laughed at. We started in as Sophomores resolving to become better students. Miss Webber and Coach Bodman were our class advisers. Frank Michener was President; Mildred Harrington, Vice-President; and Lois Campbell, Secretary-Treasurer. This year the Sophomores were well represented in all the clubs and many school activities. The Sophomore girls took the girls’ basketball tournament and four of them made the first team of which Miriam Beall was the captain. Last fall we again entered the building and this time as Juniors. For our class advisers we have Miss Webber and Miss Deatherage. Lois Campbell is President; Ruth Debolt, Vice-President; and Frank Michener, Secretary-Treasurer. This year the class has several new members and has lost a few old ones. Our class play was “Seventeen,” which was given March 13. Several Junior boys received a letter for football this year and Phil Read made thp first basketball team. The Junior Girls took the girls’ basketball tournament again this year. The Junior Class this year is as peppy, though not so green, as we were when we started as Freshies. And, although we would all hate to be Freshmen again, we feel a little pang when we realize we have only one more year at T. C. II. S. M. B. and L.

We thought we were and yet we rather doubted our own minds when we saw the “dignified” upper class-men go about the halls in a “know-it-all” manner. Yet in spite of this fact a class meeting was held and Thelma Powers was chosen president, Virginia Brown, vice-president, afterwards becoming president, and Margaret Paullin secretary and treasurer. A wiener roast was immensely enjoyed at Patterson Springs in September in spite of the Weather Man. Our first year finally drew to a close with “Successful” as our adjective. We were now to have the privilege of looking down on the Freshmen as we had been looked down upon. Our second year of high school was started with a more confident feeling. We knew what we were and where we were. Our class officers are: John Morris, president; Anna Voelkel, vice-president; and Charles Dotson, secretary and treasurer. Miss Young and Coach Lentz were our chosen class advisers. We pride ourselves in having in our class the successful football players: Russell Black, who is next year’s captain; Orus Hall, John Morris, Eugene Stantz, Edward Trager and George Wilson. These boys were all on the first team. In basketball also our players were successful. They were John Morris and Orus Hall. The Sophomore class has members in almost all the high school activities. It would be almost futile to try to give the names of those represented. Our social event this year was in the form of a wiener roast with the other classes at Steven’s grove. The bonfire was much needed as it turned very cold that evening. If our class retains its present high standards and attainments, and doubles them in our remaining two years of high school it will obtain the name of being the BEST class. This we hope to do. A. E. V. “27.” 1925 Thirty-three iGuscolian FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1928 We, the Freshman Class of 1925, came to this building for the first time, Monday Sept. 3, 1924. Three days later, Sept. 6, we held our first meeting and at this date the best class that is ever to graduate from Tuscola High School was born. At least it is the largest class. We numbered one hundred and eleven. At our first meeting we elected the following officers: Tack Green, President; Wilfred Johnson, Vice-President; Ervin Keal, Secretary-Treasurer. Thelma Warren is our representative to the student council. Our flower is the tiger lily, and our colors are blue and silver. The class motto is, “We Came, We Saw, We Conquered.” Some of the members of our class have been on both the football and basketball teams and are “doped” to have very successful athletic careers. As the first semester ended we found that several members of our class had flunked out and left, but several out-of-town pupils came in and our class is as large and strong as ever. Thus far the Freshmen have not had a party but one is now being planned. In the office is a silver cup which belongs to the girls of the class who won it by winning a ticket selling contest.

In January the local chapter of the National Honor Society was or ganized in this school. Members are elected by the faculty, and are taken from the upper fourth of the Senior class. They are judged for membership upon leadership, scholarship, character, and service, as these are the guiding principles of the society. As only ten per cent of the Senior class could be elected to the society at this time, four people were chosen. They were, Maynard Hine, Gerald Campbell, Charline Lester and Clara Vaughn. Later five per cent more were chosen. The two new members were Dorothy Rose and Edith Hance. The initiation was held for these new members in February. The faculty advisers for the society are Miss Schujahn and Miss Frantz. C.

The book contains an account of all the activities and courses of the school. The Student Council consists of the president and a representative from each class. Mr. Collins and Miss Taylor are the advisers. The Student Council has had charge of many of the school functions this year and has been very successful.

This organization, whose fundamental purpose is to further dramatic work in the school, encourages also social activities. At the first meeting in October, the above officers were elected. The club membership is limited to twenty-five. After the first dramatic hour new members were voted into the club. The members of this club show unusual talent along such varied lines as reading, playing musical instruments, and singing. Several plays were given as the Black and White Domino dramatic hour. Truly everyone agrees that it pays to be a member of the Black and White Domino. SCcK£tti£ktt CZ) Fortu-one [Cuscoiian I GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Officers Mira Voelkel ..................... President.

Reader, to satisfy your curiosity, it is one of the weekly practices of the Girls’ Glee Club. These strains are from various types of selections, some classical, others popular. The Glee Club has been quite a success during the year under the leadership of Miss Marjorie Deatherage. Every Monday afternoon there is a rehearsal in the regular music room. They have sung in Assembly several times and they sang for the Parent-Teachers Club. Their selections at this appearance were: “The Big Brown Bear” ............ Mana-Zucca. “Dance of the Romanika” ..... Harriet Ware. Considering the talent of the members and the leadership of Miss Deatherage, the public may look forward to the future of this organization. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB There are a great many students in the high school, who before 1924-25 did not know the existence cf a boys’ musical club in the school. Miss Deatherage, the instructor in music, has brought this organization before the public several times, in Assembly and before the Parent-Teachers Club. Their performances were enthusiastically received each time. There are about thirty members in the club and under the direction of Miss Deatherage, the Glee Club has achieved a reputation worthy of its work. The boys practice every Friday at the usual club meeting hour. It is this co-operation that has made the club quite successful.

With Miss Deatherage as director it could not help being a success, and it is she who instills the largest amount of “pep”. This year the Orchestra is much larger than last year, and has made quite an enviable record. It not only furnishes music for the Assembly, but has also furnished the music for the basketball games and the Parent-Teachers Club. The music for all the school plays and other activities is furnished by the organization. In lact, school life would not be the same without the Orchestra.

The Radio Club of T. C. H. S. was re-organized under the direction of Mr. Wulliman and proceeded to take up the duties of such a club where they were dropped in 1928. Although handicapped somewhat by having to meet in the evenings, the club has tried to further the interest of a radio in the High School. Several meetings have been held and were made very interesting by studying the theory of radio receiving, as well as broadcasting. It is hoped that the club will be continued in the years to come, for the need of such a club is great. M .H. ’25. 1925 Forty-live ICuscolian I SCIENCE CLUB Officers Frank Michener.........

This club was started the first of the 1924 term, with the largest number of members ever enrolled. The Science Club has made a very rapid advance in an unusually short time. The meetings are held on Wednesday of every other week and a new program is planned to show the different work of the various classes. Mr. Wulliman, Miss Deer, and Miss Frantz have worked very patiently and faithfully with this group and are given the larger portion of the credit for the success attained by the club.

It was on the 8th of October, 1924, that a group of students met to reorganize the History Club. After several meetings the society was rechristened by its members and given the name, “The Social Science Club”. One of the climaxes of the work of this year came on November 4, 1924, when we held a mock presidential election among the high school students. The outcome was similar to the outcome of the real election. We are planning to visit court in the near future, and we are looking forward to this as the real climax of the year. Our meetings have been very interesting and we have gained a great deal from them. We invite more students of the social sciences in T. C. H. S. to join our ranks and enjoy our meetings with us. Mrs. Flack has ably sponsored our society, and with her help and the co-operation of the students we believe that at the end of this year we shall have succeeded. —Lois Garber, ’25.

This club met twice a month and the meetings were made very interesting by the study of the life, customs, and arts of the Roman people. Each member of the club furnished the entertainment for one meeting. Another interesting work of the club was the editing of a Latin newspaper. The rest of the time was taken up by the building of a Roman house, made by the artistic hands of some of the members. Under the faculty leadership of Miss Harriet Sluss, a greater interest has been taken by the students and many worthwhile things have been accomplished. The activities of the club increase the interest of the Latin students. 1925 Forty-eight C- ■ QyG'QASQ.fClWCOlian! THE l’LANET Journalism has been sadly neglected in Tuscola High School with the exception of the High School notes, published in the two local papers, by the Senior Class of 1923. The Newspaper Club was started in September, and published weekly as the “Bulletin,” a full page of high school notes in the two local papers. We then decided to publish an independent paper. The Monday before Thanksgiving the first edition of “The Planet” was published. Since that time we have published an edition every two weeks. We feel that we have advanced a great deal along journalistic lines since we started last fall, and hope that our successors will advance to an even greater extent. We owe a great deal of our success to our advisers, Miss Nell Young, Miss Nell Taylor, and Miss Mildred Schwartz, sucessor of Mrs. Logan, (formerly Miss Young). N. V.

The spirit of cooperation of the girls was shown from the very first and continued throughout the year. Miss Schujahn, the faculty adviser, is the one who has had a great deal to do with this. Regular meetings are held twice a month. New members of this club must earn a certain number of points before they can be admitted to this club. Ihis is done in order to get members in the organization that are really interested. Several new members were taken in the second semester, and thus increased the membership of the club. On December 5, 1924, the club gave a banquet in honor of the football team. The cafeteria was decorated in the high school colors and the program was made very interesting by a number of toasts. The Gym Club has taken several hikes and in their dealings the girls have tried to live up to the preamble of their constitution.

The Hi-Y was organized this year with renewed interest. Mr. Wulli-nian and Coach Lentz have taken charge of the athletic part and Mr. Collins has taken charge of the business. It was also decided to have Rev. Bachelor take charge of the devotional part of the meeting. The two great aims of the HI-Y are to raise the moral standing of the boys in school, and promote good sportsmanship in athletics. With the help of our splendid leaders we expect to accomplish more this year than ever before. 1925 Fifty-one CuSCoHan THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Alumni Association, as it exists at present, is the outgrowth of the desire of the class of ’23 to be assured of a reunion at the Christmas season. At its last meeting before graduation a temporary organization was effected and officers were chosen as follows: President, Max Vest ’23; Vice-President, Everett Stacy ’00; Secretary, Miss Lida Hunt ’98; Treasurer, Mrs. Hazel Lear ’16. These officers were given instructions to make plans for an alumni banquet during the holidays and to make any and all arrangements as they saw fit. Notices were put in the county papers and all alumni interested were asked to send their names and money to the treasurer. As a result of the remarkable cooperation of the officers and various committees, one hundred and fifty alumni responded to the call of Alma Mater. Each general officer agreed to be responsible for a certain amount of the work on arrangement. Mr. Stacy assumed the chairmanship of the committee to select a place and menu. Mr. Vest, with the members of the class of 23, was to be responsible for decorations. Miss Lida Hunt agreed to raise the funds, and Mrs. Bertha England Flack was chairman of the program committee and succeeded in enlisting representatives of different classes to take part. Judge Boggs of Urbana was one of the distinguished alumni who was present, and Mrs. Laura McCarty Vance, of New York City, was the alumna from the greatest distance. It is interesting to note that the Tuscola High School has representatives all over the United States and in foreign lands. Dr. Arthur Boyce, who is teaching in the Boys’ School at Teheran, Persia, is one of whom we may well be proud. Hon. Samuel C. Reat, United States consul at Calgary, Canada, has served in the course of his career at Maurituis, in Formosa, India, and Canada. Thus the far reaching influence of a small high school cannot be measured in terms of the present, but in a continuance of service throughout the future. It would be a proud day for the Tuscola High School if all the living alumni could be present at some future meeting. The Tuscola High School Alumni Association is a tribute to the community that has supported the schools with its funds and interest and that small army of instructors who have labored to produce a higher and better type of citizen.

SOCIETY Social activities have been conspicuous by their absence this year. There have been no class parties—those affairs which are usually the good old stand-bys of high school life. Other forms of entertainment, such as picnics, Hallowe’en parties, Valentine parties, etc., have been lacking this year. The good times to be had at these parties are a part of high school life, and they should not be dropped from its program. Perhaps the increased interest and concentration on athletics and dramatics are responsible for the lack of other social affairs, or perhaps the never-ceasing demands of studies are good reasons for this condition. But, some of it is due to the lack of spirit and pep in the students. Shall we let the alumni boast of the “good old days”, and scornfully point out our social laziness? Never! Let us have an increased interest in social activities, and more of them in the future. Fifty-five 1 _A5 t2SS GS3i3. ICuscolian SrS':£ e!C 'a 'c)LJ JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION The evening of May 15, 1924, the Juniors and Seniors of T. C. H. S. assembled at the I. O. O. F. hall and stepped back thru the centuries to the ancient kingdom of China. Here they enjoyed the reception in the splendid halls of Kubla Khan, gorgeously decorated in the characteristic Chinese colors of red, yellow, blue, and black. The menu consisted of many delicious American dishes disguised under Chinese names, and was served by fascinating maidens in quaint Chinese costumes. (If you looked closely you could identify several of the freshies and sophomores.) The girls received prim little fans as favors, the boys had whistles concealed in pipes. Oh! the din that ensued was deafening! Verily, the ancient palace was shaken to its foundations! The Khan’s Story Teller was Mr. “Sereno” Bodman, and the follow- ing toasts were given: Welcome—Kubla Ming Lu........................ Dorothy Scoggin Advantages of Studious Pursuits—Chang Fu.........Maynard Hine Advantages of Frivolous Pursuits—Wing San.............Virginia Walthall Happiness—Mong Kan Lu............................Curtis Marsh Good-bye—The Empress............................Miss Schujahn Afterward, in the Khan’s long reception room, Juanita Haney entertained the guests with a Geisha dance, Juvae Moorehead sang a “Chinese Lullaby” in costume, and Charline Lester read a “Chinese Tale”. A short, clever pantomime, “A Tragedy in High Life,” ended the programme. Then the following hours were given over to dancing, inspired by the peppy jazz of Flannigan’s Orchestra. Confetti reigned supreme and greatly added to the fun. HIGH SCHOOL-ALUMNI DANCE At the end of school last May a High School-Alumni dance was given in the K. of P. hall to celebrate the coming months of freedom. Several alumni, members of the faculty, and students were present, and a'l had a “perfectly wonderful time”. Special features were the moonlight and tag dances. HIGH SCHOOL PICNIC The Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshies entertained the victorious Seniors, who had sold the greatest percentage of tickets in the Lyceum Course contest, at a “weenie” roast November 7, 1924. All the hungry throng hurried to the Stevens picnic grove, and the customary refreshments of wieners, buns, mustard and pickles were served. The day was bitter cold, but that was no hindrance, for everyone had a gay time. The outstanding event was the baseball game with the boys vs. the girls, in which both sides claimed the honors. —C.

The cast was as follows: Thomas Sud, Playwrite..... Neil Von Lanken Mr. Wouldby, a novice .... Lawrence Taylor Mrs. Pencil, the adventuress, Frieda Watson Mr. Ruler, the hero ....... Wilfred Johnson Mr. Inkwell, the villian .... Raleigh Colwell Miss Ivory, the heroine .......Sybil Baker Mr. Ivory, the father....... Herbert Simpson Janitor ....................... Frank Vest. The play was a comedy, making fun of popular play writes who also attempted to be directors. The curtain rises upon a stage set for a rehearsal of Mr. Sud’s new play, a ridiculous melodrama which he calls “The Pot Boilers.” Mr. Wouldby, a novice at playwriting, appears and is invited by Mr. Sud to remain for the rehearsal of the play as far as it has been written. Cheap acting and temperemental directing follows until the climax is reached which is as far as Mr. Sud has written. Each actor is “covered” by another actor and Mr. Sud in anguish, exclaims that it is a deadlock and he does not know who shoots. The disgusted members of the cast threaten to shoot him, he escapes, and Mr. Wouldby is so frightened that he jumps over the footlights and runs out of the theater. The parts were all filled very successfully. D. S. “25.” SENIORS’ CHAUTAUQUA On Friday, February 13, 1925, there was held in the auditorium, an indoor Chautauqua given by the Seniors. Edward Bailey proved a great success as platform manager. The chautauqua consisted of five nights. The first night we had with us a “Sextette” consisting of Lois Campbell, Louise Cain, Mira Voelkel, Leslie Cooper, Don Morgan and Gerald Campbell. The second night we had living pictures. Irene Koehn as “Miss Innocence”; Lois Garber as “Mother”; Charline Lester as “Comic Valentine”; Dorothy Scoggin as “Summer Girl”; Mildred Jones as “Colonial Lady”; Raleigh Colwell as “Sailor”; Charles Bostic as “Soldier”; Gerald Campbell and Ruth Clapper as “John Alden and Priscilla.” The third night we were very fortunate in having with us “Deather-age’s Million Dollar Orchestra.” The orchestra played several numbers, as a whole; and there were several special selections. The fourth night, Thursday, we had with us some of the prominent farmers of the nearby countryside. A number of very interesting speeches were made. Eddie Scheideman was chief man. The last night of the chautauqua we had with us the “Great Negro Minstrels,” with Frank Vest as manager and announcer. The company sang several songs and a number of special selections were given. The play was a great success due to the faithful coaching of Misses Harriet Sluss and Deatherage. D. S. ’25 IW Fifty-seven L SNa fi -e Q [Guscclian] JUNIOR CLASS PLAY “Seventeen” On March 13, 1925, at the auditorium the Junior Class presented “Seventeen,” a comedy by Booth Tarkington. It is the tragedy of William Baxter that he has ceased to be sixteen and is not yet eighteen. Seventeen is no age, it is a disease. In his heart William knows all the delights and tortures of love, but his mother still sends him on errands of the most humiliating sort and he depends on his father for every nickle, the use of which he must justify before he gets it. “Silly Bill” falls in love with Lola Pratt, the “Baby-Talk Lady,” a vapid little flirt. To woo her in a manner worthy of himself (and of her) he steals his father’s evening clothes. When the wooing becomes a nuisance to the neighborhood, his mother steals them back, and has them let out to fit the middle aged form of her husband. When it comes time for the “Baby-Talk Lady’s” farewell dance, not to be present was unendurable. William again swipes the dress suit and Genesis discloses the fact that the proud garment is in reality the father’s. The cast in order, of its appearance is: Mr. Baxter.............................

Ed was a consistent fighter, never knowing the word “quit.” We expect to hear from him as a university player in another year. Mr. Lentz, better known to the boys as “Lefty,” coaching in Tuscola, soon demonstrated to the most critical fans, that he knew what he was about. He was faced by one of the hardest schedules ever attempted by the Tuscola team. However, he was an incessant worker, and completed the season with an average of 750%, a very successful season. We are expecting great things of him next year. Sixty-one Cuscolian I Qy sxof r s £7,%” rc.x r.

CARL GROSS—“Gross”—L. T. “Gross” was a veteran of many battles and showed up as though he was. He was a menace to opposing backs; when a play was sent through Gross’s tackle it was usually stopped at the line of scrimmage. DICK STANTZ—“Dick”—C. Playing his first year as a center, “Dick” was as good as if he was a veteran. No one was worried about the pass from center while he was over the ball. RUSSELL BLACK—“Black”—F. B. Fast, shifty, and a hard hitter describes “Black”. When he would start around end there were few that could keep up with him. He was high scorer for the last season. Captain-elect Black should have a great season next year. CHARLES BOSTIC—“Farmer”—R. H. “Farmer” was our only triple-threat man and was superb in each division.

H. Morris was short and stout and could hit the line. He was an accurate receiver of a forward pass and was always counted upon in the interference. ORUS HALL—“Hall”—L. H. Hall was the gamest man in the back field when it came to backing up the line. In the Villa Grove game he ran past the interference and threw them for losses time after time. GEORGE WILSON—“Big George”—Guard Big and heavy describes George, but he knew how to use his weight to advantage. He could carry the ball as well as make holes when playing guard.

This was “Red’s” first year in football but he showed up like a veteran. In the Champaign game he smothered every attempt at a run around his end, and he played consistently throughout the year. 1925 Sixty-five Cuscolian Sixty-six : gNS 3 6 S gUS)C0lian I ED TRAGER—“Tracer”—F. B. Trager could hit the line and could back it up equally well. Trager never allowed himself to get excited, but kept calm under all conditions. GERALD CAMPBELL—“Campbell”—R. E. Campbell was long and lanky, but he always got his man. He played guard at Areola and stopped everything that came his way. CYRIL DARLING—“Son”—R. E. “Son” was the smallest man in the line, but it was pitiful for an end run to start his way for he could always slip past the interference to get his man. WELDON HACKETT—“Hackett”—L. G. “Hackett” was handicapped by lack of experience and weight, but what he lacked in this he made up in fight, and always had his opponent worried. In the Champaign game, when he was sent in against a bigger man, things looked bad for him, but it turned out to be bad for the opponent. RALPH COOPER—“Cooper”—L. G. Cooper was some boy and surely could smear the plays sent his way. Cooper showed his mettle at Monticello where he broke through and got several tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Sixty-seven Cuscoltan FOOTBALL SUMMARY 1924 Champaign (10) vs. T. C. H. S. (0 ) Tuscola opened the 1924 season with a defeat in the hands of the strong Champaign eleven. At the start Tuscola received the kickoff but were held for downs and were forced to punt. The first half was very hard fought and Tuscola seemed to have the edge on the visitors when the half ended, althought there had been no scores made on either side. In the second half Champaign came back strong and soon had ten points piled up, Majors making the touch-down and Denman was responsible for the field goal. Urbana (7) vs. T. C. H. S. (0) Urbana kicked off and Tuscola returned the kick where the ball was fumbled in mid field, with Tuscola recovering. Several runs by Black and Bostic netted thirty yards, and here the Urbana aggregation held and Tuscola attempted a place kick but missed. The rest of the half was played on even terms with the ball see-sawing back and forth in mid-field. In the next half nothing startling happened until Urbana recovered a fumble punt on Tuscola’s 25 yard line, where they started a march down the field for a touch-down. The game ended Urban 7 and Tuscola 0. Newman (7) vs. T. C. H. S. (24) Newman kicked off and held Tuscola for downs where they were forced to punt. On exchange of punts Tuscola gained 15 yards. All of the first half was very slow and poorly played by both teams, ending 6-0 in favor of Tuscola. The next half was some what faster, Tuscola making two more touchdowns. With a few minutes left to play, Coach Lentz put in the second team backfield. Newman, in a desperate attempt to score, then opened up a passing attack and soon put over a touchdown. The game ended Tuscola 24 and Newman 7. Taylorville (0) vs. T. C. II. S. (41) Taylorville proved an easy prey for the Tuscola eleven, as they were unable to stop Tuscola’s gains around the ends, off tackle and by the aerial route. Not once during the game was Tuscola’s goal threatened. Wilson, Tuscola’s stalwart center, showed his skill as a ball carver by snagging a pass and runing thirty yards for a touchdown. The playing of Darling, the Tuscola right end, was especially worth mention. This game ended in an overwhelming victory for the old Gold and Black. Mattoon (7) vs. T. C. H. S. (27) After an exchange of punts Tuscola gained possession of the ball on the 50 yard line where Bostic ran the right end for the first touchdown. After this the Mattoon eleven put up a fierce defense but could not stop Tuscola’s aerial attack, for soon after a pass from Bostic to Black added another touchdown and after that a pass to Greene chalked up another. Mattoon’s score came after a march down the field from the forty yard line and ending the game 27 to 7. 1925 Sixty-eight CnscoKan Montecello (3) vs. T. C. H. S. (13) Tuscola won the toss and chose to defend the South goal which put a strong wind to their back. Monticello chose to receive, but they were held for downs and forced to punt. On account of the wind the kick did not travel far and as Tuscola recovered the ball on the 20 yard line, they soon put it over for a touchdown, Bostic carrying the ball over. A second marker came shortly afterwards due to the high wind blowing. The work of Gross and Green on Tuscola’s left side of the line was exceptionally good in this game. Monticello’s three points was due to the trained toe of Cat-lin, Monticello’s star half-back. The game ended 13 for Tuscola and 3 for Monticello. Atwood (10) vs. T. C. H. S. (191 Tuscola received and were forced to punt. Atwood made several gains through Tuscola’s line. The whole game was poorly played by Tuscola. The punting of Gross was very good as he was getting them off from 50 to 60 yards with wonderful regularity. The first half ended 7 for Tuscola and 0 for Atwood. In the second half Tuscola played better ball at times but there was times where they would lag. The game ended 19 to 10 with Tuscola on the long end of the score. Villa Grove (0) vs. T. C. II. S. (15) Villa Grove kicked off to Hall who advanced to the 20 yard line before being downed. On an exchange of punts, Tuscola gained possession of the ball on their 40 yard line. They quickly advanced the ball to Villa Groves 10 yard line where they lost it on downs. The first half ended 7 to 0 for Tuscola. In the next half a place kick by Bostic and a touchdown by Froman after blocking a punt ended the scoring. The game ended 15 to 0. Areola 201 vs. T. C. H. S. (0) Outplayed, outweighed and outlucked tells the story of the Annual Turkey Day game between Areola and Tuscola. Areola’s first and second touchdowns came after breaking through and blocking Bostic’s punts while their third came after a march down the field using straight line plays. The game was fairly played although several penalties were made on the Areola side. The defensive work of Morris and Green on the left side was good and Black backed the lineup very well. A band accompanied the team to Areola and played encouragingly at times, but it was of no avail. The game ended, Areola 20 and Tuscola 0.

Gross was one of the most feared basketball men in this part of the state. He was a hard worker and very seldom failed to deliver. Carl is one of the boys that will be missed next year. Coach Lentz developed an even better team in basketball than football. Team work was in evidence at all stages of the game. His first team won 17 ar.d lost 6, while the second team went through the season with a perfect record. Mr. Lentz should have a great basketball season next year. 1925 Seventy-one Cuscclian gy £k 9Sct CHARLES BOSTIC, JR.—Guard Bostic was an all county guard and one of the best high school players in Central Illinois. He always played a good floor game and was usually in the scoring column. JOHN MORRIS—Guard Morris was always fighting and always played a good floor game. He furnished plenty of trouble for the opposing forwards, and would sometimes slip down the floor and drop in a basket. TACK GREEN—Center Tack had his nights “on” and his nights “off”. When he was “on” he was a hard man to hold down, but when he was off he played more of a good floor game than a scorer. ED SCHEIDEMAN—Guard In “Sparky” Scheideman Tuscola had a mighty good guard. He was always fighting and used his head to good advantage. His scoring was not great, but he was always giving his team-mates a good shot. Seventy-two 1925 ItTuSCoIian I ORIIS HALL—Guard Hall always kept track of the ball and watched his man like a hawk. No one was worried about any set-up while Hall was playing guard. CYRIL DARLING—Forward Darling was a great floor player and a man with a good eye. He was always depended upon to gather in several points in each game. PHIL READ—Center Phil was always in the habit of making some baskets when they were needed most. He was also a good floor man, and handled the ball splendidly. KENNETH HUBER—Forward Huber had a good eye and would get a few baskets each game. He also played a good defensive game.

The game was hard fought all the way through by both sides. Gross led the offense for Tuscola and Bodman for Bement. Tuscola (49) Newman (5) Dec. 19 The following week Tuscola triumphed over Newman High. Newman offered little opposition to Tuscola, who was playing like a championship team. Coach Lentz used several reserves in the game. Tuscola (2nds) (27) Cainargo (lstsi (19 Dec. 22 Tuscola (23) Atwood (16) Jan. 9 Before the largest crowd of the season, so far, Tuscola snowed the Atwood team under. Darling led the offense for Tuscola, while Bostic starred in the defense. Atwood threatened to pass Tuscola several times but near the end of the game Gross sunk a few short ones to shatter their hopes. Tuscola (27) Alumni (23) Jan. 2 The annual game with the alumni was a real battle. Neither team slowed up in the least during the entire game. The alumni made most of their points by shooting long shots, while the High School boys continually marched the ball through their opponents’ defense for easy shots at the basket. Tuscola (45) Areola (10) Jan. 14 Tuscola (2ndsi (23) Areola (9) Jan. 14 Tuscola continued to play high class basketball and added another scalp to their belt by defeating our old rivals, Areola. The first quarter was rather slow, the two teams being tied, but in the next quarter the Tuscola team got started and soon had a comfortable lead, which was never overtaken by the Areola quintet. Tuscola (15) Monticello (171 Tuscola met their first defeat of the season at the hands of Monticello. Monticello started out with a rush and soon had eleven points piled up to Tuscola’s nothing. But Tuscola finally got started and soon overcame the lead, only to be nosed out near the close of the game by a long shot by Catlin. The game was hard fought and the play was rather rough. Tuscola (27) Bement (22) Jan. 23 For the second time this season Tuscola met and defeated Bement. Tuscola did not play up to form in this game, while Bement was playing their best brand of ball. It was not until late in the fourth quarter that Tuscola gained a lead that seemed comfortable. Tuscola’s defense was very weak, while the offense could not hit the basket, and this combination came very close to losing a game for the old Gold and Black. Seventy-five Cuscuitatt Tuscola (281 Longview (25) Jan. 24 Tuscola, playing the best brand of basketball of the year, met and defeated the strong quintet from Longview. The game was a thriller from start to finish, but Tuscola led all the way until the fourth quarter, when the score was tied 20 to 20. The gym was packed with supporters of each town and they were cheering so loudly that the referee’s whistle could not be heard. Tuscola’s impenetrable five-man defense did not allow a man to take a short shot, always forcing Longview to shoot long shots. The Tuscola forwards were too fast for the Longview guards and were allowed several easy chances, which they made count. Tuscola (13) Villa Grove(27) Jan.30 Tuscola suffered their second defeat of the season, this time at the hands of the Villa Grove team. Tuscola held them on even terms during the first half, but in the second half our defense cracked and the Villa Grove forwards were allowed several short shots. Tuscola (22) Champaign (30) Jan. 31 The next night, following the defeat by Villa Grove, Tuscola was defeated by the strong Champaign quintet. The game was hard fought and not until in the fourth quarter did Champaign obtain a good lead, but this was always threatened by the Tuscola players. McAllister was the star for Champaign, while Read and Gross starred for Tuscola. Tuscola (20) Villa Grove (16) Feb. 10 Playing without the services of two regular players, Darling and Bostic, Tuscola defeated Villa Grove, the Douglas County Champs, by a decisive score. The game was very fast and hard fought and only once did Villa Grove take the lead. Tuscola’s defense was always set to meet the fast breaking offense of the V. G. team. Landis, Villa Grove’s star forward, was held scoreless for the first time in this game. Tuscola (30) Atwood (24i Feb. 11 On a very cold and snowy night Tuscola’s quintet motored to Atwood and for the second time this season defeated the Atwood five. The game throughout the first half was very slow, Tuscola leading with only a few points. In the last half Tuscola’s offense started and Atwood never came within four points of tieing the score. Green was the high scorer of the game, gathering eleven out of the thirty points. The remainder of points were divided among Bostic, Gross, and Darling. Tuscola (2nds) (10) Camargo (9i Feb. 13 With both teams missing several short shots, the Tuscola Seconds won a hard fought game from the Camargo quintet. The game was fast and was not won until the final whistle blew. Tuscola (24) Monticello (13) Feb. 13 Tuscola, out after .revenge for the defeat at Monticello, completely outclassed the visitors in each branch of the game. Tuscola’s five-man defense was set like a stone wall, and Monticello was forced to take long shots, a few of which were successful. Gross led the Tuscola offense, getting sixteen of the twenty-four points, while Catlin led the offense for Monticello. Seventy-sir 1925 t S'-QAo { AS'QAo'fi Cuscolian Sra sns d-Sec Tuscola (28) Areola (18) Playing the second team for three quarters, Tuscola found little difficulty in defeating Areola which made the third time this season to be defeated. The game was very slow, but hard fought. Tuscola’s star reserve forwards gathered three baskets in short order and played good floor work. The first team was put in late in the fourth quarter, but did not change the score. Tuscola (17) Longview (18) Feb. 23 In one of the closest guarding games of the year Tuscola went down to defeat before the strong Longview five. Both teams were compelled to take long shots, Longview being the more successful. Tuscola started out with a rush and soon had a comfortable score piled up on their opponents, but the lead was soon overcome and the half ended 11 to 10 in favor of Tuscola. The second half was slower than the first, with Tuscola playing the best defense and Longview shooting long shots. Smith was the man that did the work by getting five long ones. In the last few minutes, with Longview one point ahead, they started to stall, but Tuscola kept after the ball u’rtil the final whistle ble v. which gave Longview a hard earned victory and Tuscola a hard fought defeat. Tuscola (30) Sadorus (16) In a practice game Tuscola had very little difficulty in defeating the strong five from Sadorus, who had formerly won the Champaign County Championship from Longview. Tuscola (2nds) (18) Areola (2iids) (9i For the second time this season the Tuscola Seconds walked away with a victory over the Areola Seconds. In this game Coach Lentz used seventeen men, all of whom showed some ability as future basketball mer. COUNTY TOURNAMENT Tuscola (191 Areola (15) Feb. 6 In the County Tournament drawing Tuscola drew Areola first and Villa Grove second. In this game with Areola, Tuscola did not use many of her first string men, but used the second and third team almost throughout the whole game. The game was very slow and poorly fought. Areola threatened to break into the lead several times, but could not hold the pace set by Tuscola and when the final whistle blew they were four points behind. Tuscola (14) Villa Grove (17) In the second game of the tournament Tuscola was defeated for the second time by Villa Grove. The game was a thriller and both teams were playing a good brand of basketball. The half ended 10 to 11 in favor of Villa Grove, and from then on it was a fight for supremacy. Tuscola made one of its greatest fights, only to be nosed out by the scant margin of three points. Tuscola found great difficulty in making free throws, missing nine out of ten during three quarters, and in making baskets on account of the low hanging beams over the baskets. Villa Grove made many of their points from free throws. 1925 eventy s,v:n DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Tuscola (14) Champaign I 22 i Tuscola was eliminated in their first game in the District Tournament, but we do not consider this a disgrace because the team that beat us not only won the Tournament but went on and won second place in the State Tournament.

A court was fixed south of the football field and much enjoyment was had, as well as many sore arms and hands! ! The Frosh. class won the volleyball tournament. We hope to make volleyball as important as basketball next year. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Girls’ basketball in T. C. H. S. is becoming more popular each year. This year we began practicing early in the semester, for, to increase the interest of the public in girls’ athletics, we were allowed to play before the public in “curtain raiser” games. Meetings of the different classes were held and captains were elected as follows: Seniors, Edith Hance; Juniors, Lois Campbell; Sophomores, Beulah Burmeister; Freshies, Thelma Warren. As practice games we played several curtain raisers before the High School games. Then came the Tournament on February 25, 27, and 28. From the start the Juniors were doped to win—and they did. The Freshies-Seniors started the tournament, ending 18 to 11 for the Freshies. The Juniors beat the Sophs, 24 to 21 in a very exciting game. The losers played the third game, ending with a victory for the Sophs. The winners then played—ending with a victory for the Juniors. A pennant was given to the winning team, purchased from the proceeds of the admission fees. In all, the season of girls’ basketball was quite a success and the girls appreciate the interest taken in them by the public. D.

They registered Friday afternoon all by their exclusive selves. 27— “The Tuscolian” selling contest begins; the three captains are Dorothy Scoggin, Tack Green, and Tom Lovett. The annual staff put on a little program with the head of each department dressed to represent his department. Poor Charline! She lost her whiskers every time she made a move, and woe be to the one who got under her scythe! 28— Black and White Domino gave a clever burlesque, written by Clara Vaughn, on the students and the daily events of high school life. We heard one Freshie say, “Tee-hee! That didn’t need to be written!” Freshie, is that a compliment or a slam, we menacingly ask of you?

County Tournament at Areola and we get out this afternoon for it! Hooray! “Life is real, life is earnest!”—and the tournament’s tomorrow, too! Yea, let’s go! 11—Blow, blow, wind and snow! Brrrrr “Daisy” had his socks rolled yesterday, but we bet they’re pulled up nice and tight today, fad or no fad. 13— Friday the 13th! But the Seniors are invincible! To them ’tis the best date of all to give their stunt show! Come and see if the show doesn’t match the date! 14— Friday 13 was an unlucky day for Orville Foster. He fell down two flights of stairs—nothing hurt but his feelings, though! 16—Senior Chautauqua was a decided success. It shows what those Seniors can do. 19— Dot and Cookie quarreled today—bing! bang!— stay clear everyone! 20— Rehearsals for “The Pot-Boilers,” sponsored by the Black and White Domino Club, are in full swing. 27—Well, it was a good show, “The Pot-Boilers,” we mean. Faith, and it was well worth the money—beautiful heroine, handsome hero, slinking vamp, bold villian, murder, n’everything. March 4—The health of our dear Professor Collins is a source of great anxiety to us. Sh! Don’t tell a soul, but— he forgot to READ the DETENTION LIST? Now what’s worrving us is, “HOW DID IT HAPPEN”? ? ? 6—Jumpin’ Jehosaphat! Who ever thought that the dear, kind, adorable school—board would let us out for the District Tournament? Come on! Already! Let’s go! 13—“Seventeen” was given by the Junior class today. It was an exceptionally good play and all parts were taken splendidly. 16—Well, reckon we’ll all believe that there’s funnier sights on land than on sea after seeing what that Dramatic Club’s done to those pool1 innocents they’re initiating. 20—Raining, Raining, Raining! 24—Senior class play try outs, rumor says. That sounds like spring, but we’ve better proof than that. Honest, ’cause we saw the boys in various degrees of baseball costumes out on the football field. 31—If it’s been hard on you, think—think what it’s been on me. C. L.

CHIMES have changed since the Bard of Avon put his famous query, “What’s in a name?” In Shakespeare’s day the most successful merchant was the biggest skinflint. His name meant nothing. You entered his shop with your eyes open and your fingers crossed. You haggled and you bargained. And if you were especially astute, perhaps you retained your eye teeth. s Modern business ideals have brought a great change. Today the biggest asset of any successful business is a GOOD NAME built up through fair dealing, fair policies and a good product. During our twenty-six years of continuous dealings with the public we have endeavored to so conduct our business that people would say Vest’s is a good place to buy Farm Equipment. | C. A.

Weeks of hard labor and worry are over because our task is finished. Yet it is with a tinge of regret that we lay aside this work, for it has been a real pleasure as well as a privilege to edit this annual. In looking back, we feel that we could have done better if only—but what’s the use? We live to learn. We only hope that the 1926 Tuscolian Staff will profit by our mistakes and carry the good work next year with renewed courage. The Staff of 1925 wishes them success! We are grateful to all those who have helped us with this work. We are especially indebted to the photographer, the engraver and the printer, as well as to Mr. G. R. Collins and Miss H. J. Sluss. And now, as we are “signing off,” we hope that years hence this book may awaken in your mind those days you spent in Tuscola High, under the old Gold and Black.
