THE TUSCOLIAN Published cAnnually by the SENIOR CLASS of the TUSCOLA COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL TUSCOLA, ILLINOIS VOLUME VI EDITORIAL As Seniors of the Tuscola Community High School, it has been our privilege to edit this annual. We have sought to portray the work and the pleasures of the entire student body during the past school year. It has been our hope that we may also convey to you the indomitable spirit of T. C. H. S. which has been infused into our lives in the course of the past four years. We present this Tuscolian to the public, in the faith that our efforts have not been in vain. FRANK C. MICHENER, Editor-in-Chivf. DEDICATION TO MISS HARRIETT J. SLUSS AND MISS RUTH M.

Twenty-seven SENIOR CLASS HISTORY After four years of the joys and sorrows of high school life, we Seniors are about to bid farewell to dear old T. C. H. S. When we entered as Freshmen, our class numbered about one hundred of the peppiest and greenest, that the school has ever seen. During our Freshman and Sophomore years we gave several parties, and finally, after wading through plane geometry and Csesar, we became Juniors. As Juniors, we felt quite proud of ourselves. We gave “Seventeen” for our class play, and it was a great success. The girls won the basketball tournament for the second time, and several of the fellows received letters for athletics. We gave the Seniors a banquet, as usual, at which everyone had a good time. The fall of 1925 brought us back to the entrance of T. C. H. S., as dignified Seniors. Our class numbered about thirty-eight, but several have dropped out. We, with Miss Sluss and Miss Webber as advisors, had our election, and selected the following officers: President................Mildred Harrington Vice President................Thomas Lovett Secretary-Treasurer...........Weldon Hackett We are striving to do our best, and are also looking forward to the Senior class play, which we hope will be as successful as the Junior play. We are thinking of the enjoyment we will have being guests of the Juniors at the banquet. Then there is Commencement! We can scarcely believe that our high school days are so nearly over. “When the cares of life o’ertake us, Mingling fast our locks with gray, Should our dearest hopes betray us, Fake fortune fall away: Still we banish care and sadness As we turn our memories back. And recall those days of gladness ’Neath the Old Gold and the Black.” M. H. B., ’26. CLASS PROPHECY It was the last day of school and the Seniors were having their last high school picnic in the woods. Wandering from the rest of the crowd Wayne and Anna Mae were investigating the interior of the woods. Suddenly we heard a loud shout and looked around to see Wayne wildly waving and Anna Mae disappearing into the side of a hill. Everyone scampered to the hill and Wayne and Anna Mae announced that they had found a cave. We all peered into the black gloom of the cave. Who would venture to enter such a place? Out of the quiet came the booming voice of Major Davis. “Afraid to go into that place? Give me my gun,” and John led the way. One by one we followed our Major. At first all was darkness, but as we advanced to about one hundred yards we began to see dim outlines and heard Frank Michener’s shout, “I believe we have found a Mammoth Cave in Illinois.” Twenty-eight Suddenly Sarah Munday uttered a shriek which made us all stop and stare, and then we heard Sarah collapse, (Phil caught her in his arms). We all strained to see what Sarah had pointed at, and we saw three great lights. Quiet reigned. Then we saw the dim outline of a huge black cat sitting on her throne before a fire which burned low. She seemed to beckon us forward. But we were all loathe to move. Again Major advanced and again we followed. As we drew near the Black Cat we were able to discern many smaller black cats who seemed to be the members of her court. Also in front of the cat, a pot of cauldron boiled. Marjorie Timm fainted as she heard the cat say, “Welcome, Seniors.” We all stood aghast! Then again, “Do not be frightened. Draw near and I’ll tell your fortunes. Who will be first?” No one moved! Then Wayne Lewis, always curious, the freckles standing out from his pale face, stepped forward. “I am not afraid, tell mine.” The Cat stirred the cauldron and looked into it. Slowly she spoke. “I see the pretty farm-house of a well-to-do Ficklin farmer. In the front yard a red-headed boy is pulling a chubby black-haired, rosy-cheeked lassie in a wagon. In the back yard I see Mrs. Anna Mae Lewis feeding the chickens.” Wayne backed away and Bonnie Albin took his place. The Cat looked solemnly into the pot. “I see your sweet smile in a Methodist parsonage in Areola. There are several light-haired youngsters playing around your knee.” With a blush Bonnie stepped back into her place, and John Davis took a step forward. He announced, “There’s nothing to this stuff. Well, let’s hear what you have to say.” The Cat gave a dig in the pot which we thought would make the cauldron overflow. “You, sir, are destined to be a Major-General in the U. S. army and you will become a distinguished soldier.” And from the rear we heard Blye’s remark, “Blah!!” Marjorie had by this time revived and was eager to hear the worst. She solemnly listened to the Cat as she said, “I see you as a bride at the parsonage of Rev. Harold Scheu. The future chemistry teacher of the Tuscola Community High School, Robert Cochran, is the groom. He gazes with admiration at his newly conquered divorcee.” Marjorie exclaimed, “Oh, my John!” and slipped to the rear of the crowd. Squire Williams gazed expectantly at the cat and before long she cried, “Ah!—a gentleman of leisure, living on the luxuriant farm of Mr. Williams. There are many oil wells on your farm. You have a pleasant life to look forward to.” Aileen Marley came forward, “And what am I to do?” The cat spoke with pleasure: “I see a great movie actress to whom the whole country bows, and the one who bows most is a friend from Paris, Illinois.” The cat resumed her stirring of the cauldron. “I see another world-famous stage character. She is a blonde, and her bright smile is applauded by enormous crowds on Broadway. As she dances, she winks slyly over to the corner where her ever-proud husband Jimmy admiringly gazes at her.” Everyone turned to look at Madesta, who blushed prettily. The cat spoke again: “I see a physical training teacher at the Garret High School. Her name is Mrs. Thalma Moody, wife of the principal of that school. Bobby Owens, the son of Harry and Martha Owens, is noted for his mischievous behavior in this school and is a great trial to Professor Moody.” Twenty-nine Ruth Skinner and Lillian looked into the pot. The cat said, “Look! Do you see a healthy girl and a thin one? They are you two girls. You live in Chicago and are advertisements for a medicine that will either reduce or build up your body.” “Who is this farmer from West Ridge?” And we heard from some place Weldon’s voice, “Maybe that’s me.” As the cat gazed at the cauldron she said, “You will live happily with a golden-haired girl for the rest of your life.” “I see a large business store in Tuscola—Lovett’s and Haney’s Dry Goods Store, and in it are two clerks, whose faces I see now. They are Eva Leah’s and Gladys Gill’s.” Howard had gained courage and asked the cat what his fate would be. “You are a minister in the church at Pesotum. Mrs. Sarah Munday Weasle presides over your children as a fond mother should. She has a terrible time keeping them from giggling during church. “I see Mrs. Evelyn Sharp, who lives at Arthur. She is the wife of a prominent business man there. Constance Sturgell I see clerking in a jewelry store. Leonore Romine I see cooking in her country house near Ficklin. She is a good housewife and attends band concerts and Saturday night shopping at Tuscola.” Phil stepped up and the cat exclaimed, “See—a great architect. He has just completed the plans for a new White House and is receiving a medal from the President. “I see a school teacher. She has a ‘steady’ who threatens to change her name, and this is your face.” The cat looked at Mabel. Amy Todd giggled and said, “What will become of me?” The cat looked severe and said, “You also are teaching school at the Hayes Corrective School for Young Ladies.” Amy nearly went into hysterics. As Frank Michener looked into the cauldron the huge Black Cat said, “You are president of Marshall, Field and Company of Chicago. I see a small and rosy bride by your side.” And to Frank Landers, “You live happily in Tuscola. You are a Boy Scoutmaster and train the young boys under your care in a fatherly way.” From the silence came the booming voice of John Davis: “This is all bosh—I’m leaving.” The Black Cat rose to her full height; her tail whisked; her hair stood out. “So that’s the way you repay me, is it?” She kicked over the cauldron and with a wild scream started at us, with all the small black cats at her side. With shrieks and yells we all ran as fast as possible till we came to the door of that never-ending cave, and in that awful run we had a chance to “come to earth.” Just as we reached the open air, the cave collapsed. We all stopped still in wonder. Then “Bimbo” broke the silence with, “John, you old pill, she didn’t get to tell mine.” “Nor mine either,” exclaimed Mildred H. and Lois. But really had we seen the cave or not? “The Triumvirate,” ’26.

C. H. S. We stood, scattered about in the halls, chattering like magpies. Frequently we heard ourselves alluded to as “green.” We soon held a class meeting and elected Thelma Powers, president: Virginia Brown, vice-president, and later becoming president: and Margaret Paullin, secretary and treasurer. We selected Miss Young and Miss Schujahn for class advisors. One Friday in September we held a weiner roast at Patterson Springs. All had a good time playing games and roasting weiners. In a surprisingly short time we learned that we were not Freshies any longer, but Sophomores. Now it was our privilege to look down on the Freshies with a haughty eye. Our second year of high school life was taken up in a more reassuring manner. Our class officers were: John Morris, president; Anna Voelkel, vice-president; and Charles Dotson, secretary and treasurer. We chose Miss Young and Coach Lentz as class advisors. We are much elated when we think of the large number of boys from our class that made the first team in football and basketball. Those on the football team were: Edward Trager, Orus Hall, John Morris, Eugene Stantz, Russell Black and George Wilson. John Morris and Orus Hall were the ones from our class on the basketball team. Our social event for this year was a weiner roast at Steven’s grove. Over the crackling and glowing bonfire we, with the other classes roasted weiners. As Juniors, we entered the T. C. H. S. building last fall with higher hopes and ambitions. John Morris was elected president; Anna Voelkel, vice-president; Thelbert Kinney, secretary and treasurer. Misses Frantz and Johnson hold the important position, viz., advisors of the Junior Class. A large number of Juniors participate in the activities of the school. Those from our class in the orchestra are: Marjorie Davis, Anna Voelkel, Janet Overturf, Evelyn Crossman, Neola Pai'ker, Leslie Cooper, Thelbert Kinney and Milas Thomas. Our Juniors have done much to make the Tuscola High School’s football team what it is. Those who played are: Russell Black, Joe Cain, Leslie Cooper, Charles Dotson, Orus Hall, Thelbert Kinney, John Morris, Herbert Simpson, Eugene Stantz, Paul Taylor and Edward Trager. The Juniors on the first basketball team are Orus Hall, John Morris and Thelbert Kinney. At eight o’clock Friday evening, Jaunary 29, 1926 the Junior class presented “Second Childhood.” It was an exceedingly clever comedy and very successfully played. Quite a large crowd saw it. H.

Officers for 1925-26 we have: Thelma Warren, President; Walter Schafer, Vice-President; Lloyd Compton, Secretary-Treasurer and Frances Hardwick, representative to Student Council. Frances left school soon after her election, therefore we elected Wilfred Johnson as representative. We have had one party this year and hope to have another. Triere was only twenty-five members out of sixty-seven but we wish to have a better showing next time. We were well represented in both football and basketball last year and this. The boys in basketball were: Norman York, Wilfred Johnson, and Tack Green. In football they were: Tack Green, Wilfred Johnson, Montelle Hackett and Paul Matthews. On the girl’s All Star Teams we had three girls out of the Sophomore class this year and one last year. They are: Thelma Warren, center and Dorothy Lincoln, forward, on the First Team with Leona Crossman, guard on the second Team. Thelma was also center on last year’s All Star Team. L. J., ’28.

Advisors The Freshman Class held their first class meeting. September 4, for the purpose of nominating officers. A week later the officers were elected. Our class motto is: “Labor conquers all things,” and our class colors silver and blue. While the Freshmen girls have not been very successful in sports they have a basketball team which only needs practice, so, watch us, please. The boys have been successful, however, and as a result several of them played on the basketball and football teams. We had the distinction of having the second party given this year, the Seniors being the first. Everyone who went had a fine time and the only things broken wei e a chain and glass. This class is to be a famous one, so watch and appreciate us while you know us, because you will hear of us again some day. M. H., ’29.

Soon for us will the school days be ended, The dreams of youth that fade so fast. But we know that the heart oft will ponder In mem’ry o’er scenes that are past; There are joys that will long be remembered.

Club Advisors The National Honor Society was organized last year in our school. Members are elected by the facutly and are taken from the upper fourth of the Senior Class. They are judged for membership upon scholarship, character, service and leadership. At the close of our Junior year five per cent of the class was elected. They were Mildred Harrington and Miriam Beall. At the first of our Senior year Bonnie Albin was elected as the new member. M. B. H., ’26. Forty-eight STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council consists of two members, the President and one elected Representative. The Council was organized with Thelma Warren as President and meets on Fridays at the eighth period. During the first semester the Student Council planned and wrote the High School notes for the newspapers. Several programs have been planned by the Student Council for the second semester. It has been - difficult to follow any definite plans because of the irregularity of meetings due to the fact that Fi'iday is a popular day for “pep” meetings and games that cause the early dismissal of school. The Council consists of the following members: Seniors, Mildred Harrington, Lois Campbell; Juniors, John Morris, Charles Dotson; Sophomores, Thelma Warren, Wilfred Johnson and Freshmen, Maud Hine and Dorris Rose. Advisors, Miss Taylor and Miss Johnson. Forty-nine T CLUB OFFICERS President.....................John Morris Vice-President................Tack Green Secretary and Treasurer.......Frank Michener The T Club is a new organization started this year. Any person who has won his letter in either football, basketball, baseball, or track is eligible to membership in the club. This club was started mainly to create better sportsmanship among the boys out for athletics. The new members who were taken into the club at the first initiation were Montelle Hackett, Wilfred Johnson, Don Morgan, Blye Moody, and Joe Cain. T. L., ’26. fifty BLACK AND WHITE DOMINO OFFICERS President.................Wilfred Johnson Vice-President............Frieda Watson Secretary-Treasurer....... Lawrence Taylor The Black and White Domino Club or the Dramatic Club, as it is commonly called, was organized to develop dramatic talents in the High School. The pins are in the shape of a dominc. Throughout the year the club sponsors plays given by students who wish to become members of the club. This year two one-act plays were given as one Dramatic hour. They were “Everybody Said” and “Second Samuel.” From these two plays new members were selected. They were William Rice, Virginia Brown, Don Morgan, Beatrice Beall, Jane Beall, Evelyn Frazee, and Marie Kevill. Initiations are always fun and Dramatic Club initiations come to the standaid. The club also entertains the High School with programs and “takeoffs,” at assembly periods. Everyone looks forward to one of these short Dramatic hours. The club owes a great deal of its success to the ever present help of their advisor, Miss Lowe. L. E. C., ’26. Fifty-one BOYS’ GLEE CLUB There are about thirty members in the boys’ glee club this year, and among these are some very fine talent. Atlhough the boys’ division have not appeared much in public, they are practicing every week and should by next year have a fine organization. F. M. C., ’26. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB “Music hath charms, etc.” is a familiar saying and certainly is a true one around T. C. H. S. Listeners around the auditorium during the eighth period on Wednesdays find themselves entranced by the melodious sounds issuing therefrom. On various occasions during its existence, the Glee Club has shown its musical ability and has reecived much praise. The club, under the supervision of Mrs. Wharton is planning to give a spring festival, and also to enter the county musical contest. While several of the members graduate this year, and their joyful voices will no longer be heard, here’s to the success of the Glee Club next year, and in the years to come. M. H. B., ’26. Fifty-two THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Fifty-three HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTR A Our orchestra this year is composed of more members than ever before. Mrs. Wharton came back with more enthusiasm and has helped make it a great success. The music, which we have played this year has been more difficult than that of previous years. Although we have not made many public appearances, we have been working just the same. The members are as follows: Piano, Lois Campbell; Violins, Anna Voelkel, Elizabeth Hall, Janet Overturf, Neola Parder, Marjorie Davis, Walter Schafer, Loie Cooch, Clara Dotson, Donald Casely, Evelyn Crossman, Louise Stabler; Bass Horn, Leslie Cooper; Cornets, John Davis, Milas Thomas, Wendell Warren; Trombone, Donald Morgan; Saxophone, Robert Schafer, Russell Crossmon, Wilfred Johnson, Thelbert Kinney, Catherine McIntyre; Clarinets, William Rice, John Parker. W. H., ’28. Fifty-four AG CLUB OFFICERS President...................Tom Lovett Vice-President..............Orus Hall Treasurer...................Harry Lovett, Merril Fox Secretary...................Montelle Hackett Agriculture was introduced into our High School this year, and therefore, an Ag Club was organized. The aim of this club was to create an in-trest in agriculture. Anyone taking animal husbandry, or soils and crops is eligible to membership to the club. The meetings are held every two weeks. The Club took an active part in helping to make the Corn Belt Fair a success. They also held a Father and Son’s Banquet on March 12. O. H„ ’27. Fifty-five HF-Y CLUB The past year has witnessed perhaps the greatest interest in Hi-Y that has ever been manifested in Tuscola High. From the very start the meetings were well attended and the boys gave evidnce of their satisfaction with the way the club was conducted by the continued interest throughout the year. The Hi-Y is the Junior organization of the Y. M. C. A. and as such has very much the same aim and purpose. This is to cultivate a well rounded and balanced character by developing the spirit, the mind and the body of every boy, who comes in contact with the organization or its members. In order to accomplish this end, the programs included talks and discussions on various phases of boy life; a few of the representative professions were represented by local and profssional business men so as to add a bit of vocational guidance. On several occasions the faculty sponsors gave instructive talks. Last but not least (to use a much overworked phrase) came the recreational hour in which indoor baseball, basketball and volleyball were played in their respective seasons. Several of the fellows showed considerable proficiency on the apparatus and in tumbling as well as pyramid building. No small part of the credit for the success of the year’s wrork is due Milas Thomas, our hard working president. He, as well as every boy in the club proved himself to be a real “live-y-er.” Fifty-six SCIENCE CLUB OFFICERS President....................Walter Schafer Secretary and Treasurer......Wendell Warren Mr. Wulliman and Miss Dear...Club Advisors Anyone taking chemistry, physics, household science, or general science is eligible to membership in this club. At our meetings every other week on Monday, the eighth period, we usually have films, which represent some work in one of the departments. These films are sent to us from the University of Illinois. The object of this club is to create more interest in the work of these various subjects. M. W., ’29. Fifty-seven LATIN CLUB OFFICERS President................Mildred Harrington Vice-President...........Tack Green Secretary................Jane Beall Treasurer................Helen Gates The Latin Club is made up of all the Latin students who care to belong to this organization. The meetings are held twice a month, and for each meeting we have a topic, upon which several members report. In January, the Latin Club members presented a moving picture, “Spartacus”. Many people saw and enjoyed the picture very much. Under the faculty leadership of Miss Harriett Sluss, a great interest has been taken by the students, and we have accomplished many worth while things. The activities of the Club increase the interest of the Latin students. Fifty-eight Jane Beall, ’29. THE SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB OFFICERS President.................Lois Campbell Vice-President............Anna Mae Fullerton Secretary.................Tack Green Treasurer.................Mildred Harrington The Social Science Club was organized this year with only a few c-1 anges in the constitution. We have had very interesting as well as educational meetings this year. At one meeting we went to the court house and visited the various rooms. Mrs. Flack has been the big wheel of our club. She has guided us over the stormy paths and through her aid we think that our club has been a gveat success. T. A. G. ’28. Fifty-nine a (r J ■a GIRLS’ GYM CLUB OFFICERS President..............Thelma Darling Secretary-Treasurer....Mabel Hance Practically all the old members of the Gym Club came back to school, and immediately became interested in the club. The lovely fall weather demanded both individual and group hikes. The girls were interested in making money that they might give the football boys a banquet. We think that it was a huge success. All kinds of athletics are sponsored by our physical training teacher. Miss Blackburn. Letters, for the first time, were awarded to the girls who had earned one hundred and fifty points. They were Sybil Baker, Donnabell Lewis, Marie Ohlson, Mildred Rice, Evelyn Manwarning, Lois Campbell, Miriam Beall and Ruth DeBolt. The club is planning on giving a stunt show soon. We hope to make it a success. “Pem”. Sixty THE CLASS OF 1925 Irene Koehn—Monticello Seminary. Charline Lester—University of Illinois. Eunice Roles—Dr. Palmer’s office. Helen Murray—Charleston Normal.

Sixty-two JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION The evening of May 23, 1925, the Juniors and Seniors of the Tuscola Community High School assembled at the I. O. O. F. Hall and found themselves in the land of Holland. Here they enjoyed the reception in a maze of blue and white decorations and windmills. The menu consisted of American dishes translated into Dutch and was served by fascinating maidens dressed in cunningly contrived Dutch costumes. The favors given were in the form of a small cluster of sweet peas tied with ribbons of blue and white. The Windmill had all the parts needed and a toast was given by each as follows: The Axle......................Mr. Collins The Fans...................Maynard Hine The Grease.................... Mrs. Flack The Window.................Lois Campbell Miss Pierce of Paxton, Illinois, gave a solo dance in the long reception room. The following hours were given over to dancing inspired by the peppy jazz of Lindgren’s Orchestra. Confetti reigned supreme and greatly added to the fun. E. M., ’26. FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshmen had the distinction of having the first party of the year, outside of the Senior picnic, and we think this is doing very well for Freshmen. Several meetings were held during which committees were appointed and dues collected. The party was given Friday night, December the fourth, in Miss Weber’s room. It was a lively affair and every one who attended had a very good time. At ten o’clock “eats” were served in the cafeteria which were exceptionally good. About one half of the Freshmen class attended. M. H. THE SENIOR PARTY The first social event of the year was the Senior weiner roast at Kas-kaskia on November 5, 1925. The faculty was invited as guests although only a few were present. The fire was hard to start and we shall have to admit that Weldon is the “windiest” one in our class. Everyone enjoyed the weiners and marshmallows and reported a good time. We were well chaperoned by our class advisors, Miss Webber and Miss Sluss. M. B. H. E. M. Sixtji-three FOOTBALL BANQUET The annual football banquet was held December fourth in the high school cafeteria. It was served by the Girls’ Gym Club. The room was beautifully decorated in the high school colors. The dinner consisted of three courses and was served in the utmost style and by good looking waitresses, which made it more delicious. Mr. Collins acted as toastmaster, and many interesting toasts were given by the athletes themselves. The subject of each one of the toasts was a certain game they had played during the season. They explained all the good and bad points of it as they saw them. The boys enjoyed the dinner and thought it a good way to end their football season. The Girls’ Gym Club hopes to make this banquet an annual affair and in this way show its appreciation to the team. T. D. ’26. THE SOPHOMORE PARTY The social event of the Sophomore class the first semester was a “Kid Party” held on the second floor of the High School building. The doors were opened at 7:30 and the “kids” began to arrive. There were little boys in knee trousers, nice clean little waists with ruffled collars and large neckties tied in bows. Some of them also had the cutest little hats that were tied under their chins. But better still were the little girls. Many were dressed especially for the party. Their hair was curled nicely and tied with big hair ribbons. Their dresses were freshly ironed and each sash was tied just so. Pink and blue were the prevailing colors. Others of the girls who had intended to play hard and have a real good time wore little romper suits. Several of the girls who felt it cruel to leave them at home, brought their dolls along. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing games and dancing after which refreshments suitable for the occasion were served. The party was a great success, thanks to the efforts of the committees and our class advisors, Miss Lowe and Mr. Keigwin. T. W. E. M.

Their experiments with an old dog convince them that they have discovered the Elixir. They are elated and at once seek a human being for experimentation. An old General is in love with the Professor’s daughter, but she refuses him because of his age. The scientists induce him to try the Elixir. But during their absence the General spills the Elixir and abruptly leaves the house. A poor woman, unable to support her baby, now enters and leaves her child on the sofa where the General was last seen sitting. The scientists return and find the empty bottle and the child. The General has apparently become an infant: The scientists are wildly enthusiastic and prepare to advertise their wonderful discovery. But upon consulting a lawyer, they find that, because of giving the Elixir, they may be charged with numerous crimes, including murder and kidnapping. They try to keep it quiet. But at this point the Professor’s daughter, who is taking care of a neighbor’s baby, comes into possession of a bottle of the Elixir. She suddenly disappears, leaving the empty bottle and the baby behind. The scientists are sure that the daughter has been transformed. From now on, things happen in explosions. The ghosts of the two lovers return in wedding costume to haunt the scientists, who, when not taking care of the babies, spent their time dodging the family, the police, and their irate neighbors. When the real mothers finally appear, they are denied their children. Only the return of the Professor’s daughter clear up the mystery. Sixty-five GIRLS’ GYM CLUB STUNT SHOW On Friday, March 19, 1926, the Girls’ Gym Club held a Stunt Show in the auditorium. The Stunts and cast were as follows: ACT I—“GOOD MORNING TEACHER” Miss Goof........... September Knight Mary Jones.......... Sally Smith......... Michael Nump .......

GIRL Jack Haney, Tom Lovett, John Morris, Joe Cain, Wayne Lewis, Don Morgan. Sixty sir Each Stunt was clever and well planned. The variety of stunts made it possible for each spectator to see or hear something particularly pleasing. The Black-faced boxers who decided they preferred shooting craps to boxing were exceptionally good. The Tumbling Stunts in spite of their difficulty were well performed. Little need be said about La Paloma vs. La Charleston when one sees the cast. The dancing ability of this couple is well known. Miss Blackburn says she hates to see Jack and Madesta graduate because of their dancing ability. Humoresque was especially pretty and pleasing to the eye. It was beautifully performed. The Spearmint Act almost caused a riot. Everyone tried to get a front row seat in order to be favored with a stick of Mr. Wrigley’s product. Gum isn’t tossed out every day from the hands of such pretty girls, you know. Clogging is something new to us but if what we saw was a sample of it we are all for clogging. The dramatic club act was very well performed. The hit of the show was certainly the last act. It was worth a great deal to see the Athletes around school all dressed up in Middies and bloomers. Some of them found out it was possible to move their hands and feet and at the same time sing. But it took a lot of patience and drill on Miss Blackburn’s part to convince them of the possibility. The Stunt Show was planned and directed by Miss Blackburn. We owe its great success to her faithful coaching. M.???? JOKES Prof. Collins: “What do you expect to be in this world?’’ Leslie Cooper: “Oh, about six feet, five inches.” HOW WOULD THEY LOOK? Madasta Crimmel, without rouge. Charles Meales, look in the movies. Gladys Gill, with a little “Pep.” Brancin Baker, grown tall. If Tom Lovett, changed hair with Gladys Baker. Amy Todd, not laughing. Miss Blackburn—Exlaining Basketball to Freshmen: “Now you see the idea is to get the ball in the basket.” Dorothy Taliver: “Yes, but the basket has a hole.” Peely: “Now, I will give you an oral test.” Brick: “I haven’t any paper to write it on.” Sixty-seven Sixty-eight ATHLETIC5 Sixty-nine Seventy Russell Black “Captain Junior—Teams of ’24, ’25—Fullback. Captain Black made a splendid leader-he was very popular with his men as well as with the students. “Russ” was fast, shifty and a hard hitter, and always kep‘ his opponents worried. “Russ” should make a very valuable player next year. John Morris “Captain Junior—Teams of ’24-’25, ’25-’26 — Guard. Captain Morris was a fast little floor worker. He was a valuable player as well as a very excellent leader. Seventy-one T C H. S. Seventy-two i r Herbert Simpson “Herb” Junior—Team of ’25—Guard “Herb” had bad luck with injuries during the season but was put in nevertheless if needed. Thomas Lovett “Tom” Senior—Team of ’25—Left Tackle. Tom didn’t get out for football until his senior year, but he played a good game at tackle. Tom received honorable mention in the selection of the all-star teams. Ed Trager “Trag” Junior—Teams of ’24, ’25—Fullback. Ed was a steady player, and could always be seen in the thick of the fray, always doing his best. John Morris “Johnnie” Junior—Teams of ’24, ’25—Quarterback—Captain-elect ’26- Johnnie was excellent when it came to blocking, and although he was small, he was a good line plunger. Will sure appreciate him next year. Blye Moody “Joker Senior—Team of ’25—Fullback. Although this was Blye’s first year, he played well, for he is a little man with lots of nerve. Seventy-three Seventy-four Tack Green “Tack Sophomore—Teams of ’24, ’25—Left End. Tack has an eye for the ball and is a real forward passer; but the end position is more to his liking. Joe Cain “Joe Junior—Team of ’25—Center. Joe never had much to say, but was always standing ’round waiting for a good hard job. Eugene Stantz “Dick Junior—Teams of ’24, ’25—Center. Dick is a just and dependable center, and has played his part in all of the games. Orus Hall “Ike Junior—Teams of ’24, ’25—Right Half Back. Ike was a hard man to play against. He never shirked, but flung himself into every play, regardless of how big his opponents were. Frank Michener “Mich Senior—Team of ’25—Right End. Frank was a very good end; although this was his first year in football, no one was ever afraid of the plays getting around that end. Seventy-five rr.c. h 5. 'n Hk‘ MjcJt 'It Seventy six Leslie Cooper “Slim” Junior—Team of ’25—Tackle. Either at tackle or at guard, Slim always did his share. Montelle Hackett “Monk Sophomore—Team of ’25—Guard. Monk was the littlest man on the team, and the hardest to play against. He had lots of nerve, and was always full of pep. Wilfred Johnson “Johnson” Sophomore—Team of ’25—Guard. He is a good lineman, and will show even better ability next year. Weldon Hackett Jim” Senior—Teams of ’24, ’25 — Right Tackle. Weldon was hurt early in the season, and was not able to play in all of the games. Nevertheless he was a valuable man and will be missed next year. Don Morgan “Morg Freshman—Team of ’25—Halfback. Morg is a man with lots of possibilities, and a knack of tackling that is near to sensational.

We lost several of the first team men by graduation, their absence was very noticeable Although very discouraged at losing the first game of the season, by a close score. Nevertheless the team kept the H. S. Spirit and always plaved a hard game The team was rather weak on offense, but always plaved a good defensive game. This was displayed in the Mattoon game when the fellows held the strong Mattoon team four downs, when thev had but six inches to go for a touchdown. SUMMARY Name Position Black (Capt.) F. B. Hall R.

Seventy-nine Eighty Gene Carpenter “Carp” Freshman—Forward. Carp is one of the men whom we depend upon next year. He possessed a great amount of fight, and was a good shot. Charles Dotson ••Charlie Junior—Guard. Charlie was a new man in the game, and always did his best to fill a position. Frank Michener “Mich” Senior—Team of ’25-’26—Forward. Mich started late in the season, but proved a valuable forward with lots of fight! Wilfred Johnson “Johnson Sophomore—Forward. Wilfred was a new man in the game, but his quick judging of opponents’ plays made him a valuable forward. Donald Morgan “Don” Freshman—Forward. “Don” is a neat little worker and will make one of our “best” for the coming season. Eighty-one T J ck’ G •’e « Eighty-two Norman York “Norm Sophomore — Team of ’25-’26 — Forward. “Norm” was one of the fastest men that played this year. When he and Kinney “got going”, they made a great combination. Orus Hall “Ike Junior — Teams of ’24-’25, ’25-’26 — Guard. “Ike” is wonderful for working the ball away from the opponents, and also is a good center-floor shot. He is captain-elect for 1926. Johnnie Morris “Captain” Junior — Teams of ’24-’25, ’25-’26 — Guard. Johnnie is a fast little floor worker and can be relied upon at all times. He was captain of the county all-star team. Tack Green “Red Sophomore—Teams of ’24-’25, ’25-’26 —Center. Tack always played hard and made his share of the baskets. Theb Kinney “Socket Junior—Team of ’25-’26—Forward. Theb improved as the season went on, and was high scorer in the majority of the games. Eighty-three Eighty-four BASKETBALL Old Gold and Black started the season with only two or three experienced players, but after a few weeks of hard practice, we had a team that made up in fight what it lacked in experience. The season was not so successful in winning games, but the floor work of several of the players was remarkable, and kept the opponents from scoring lots of baskets. With the passing of the 1925-26 season, we do not lose any regulars, so next year we hope to be more able to do what they tried so hard to do this year. Johnnie Morris made a very good captain, and we are fortunate in having him again next year. YVith Captain-elect Hall, we expect great things of the team next year. In reviewing the season, we must not forget to say that the T. C. H. S. basketball team had fine support from both students and townspeople, and we may say, without hesitation, that the Tuscola High rooters have done their best.

Arthur Muns Eighty-six BASEBALL OF 1925 The baseball season of 1925 was very successful under the leadership of Captain Bostic. Although our team lost the first two games of the season, the boys soon gathered “pep” and won most of the season games defeating Champaign two out of three games thereby winning the Champaign County Championship. We also defeated Villa Grove one out of two games and challenged them for a third which they refused thereby giving us the Douglas County Championship also. There will be no 1926 baseball team because the Okaw Valley Conference of which we are a member has introduced track.

S............16 Eighty-seven GIRLS’ ATHLETICS A new outdoor sport, Hockey, introduced by our Physical Training instructor, Miss Blackburn, added a great deal of interest to our fall sports. Hockey proved to be a very interesting and speedy game. Although it is very complicated and much harder to learn than our other sports, we enjoyed playing it in the cool crisp autumn air. A Hockey tournament was planned and teams chosen but the inclement weather made it necessary for the tournament to be postponed. A Tennis tournament was also scheduled and several rounds played but the most rainy fall in years kept us from completing our games. This spring we hope to have both a Single and a Double tournament; the singles tournament to determine the individual high school champion and the doubles tournament to determine the class champions. Indoor Sports next held our attention. Our main indoor sport was basketball. Such enthusiasm! ! The Seniors having won for two years were determined to win again. However, prospects looked equally promising for the Juniors and Sophomores. Meetings of the different classes were held and the following Captains were elected: Seniors, Lois Campbell; Juniors, Beatrice Beall; Sophomores. Thelma Warren; Freshies, Jane Beall. The tournament stalled Feb. 1. Each team was given the chance to play the other teams twice. Then the championship was to be worked out on a percentage basis. The end of the tournament found a triple tie between the Juniors, Seniors, and Sophomores, each team having won four games and lost two. This state of affairs left both officials and captains in doubt as to the outcome. Three more games were played to determine the winners. The Seniors played the Sophs Feb. 23, and won to the tune of 20 to 19 in a very exicting and hard fought game. Then the Juniors and Sophs fought their battle which ended in a 7 to 0 score in favor of the Juniors. The elimination of the Sophs left the final game between the Juniors and Seniors. Such a game! The Seniors trounced the Juniors with a 13 to 9 score, thus winning the championship for three successive years. A first and second All-Star team was chosen. The first All-Star team consisted of the following: Miriam Beall, Dorothy Lincoln, Thelma Warren, Donnabell Lewis, Dorothy Toliver, and Thelma Darling. The second All-Star team consisted of the following: Beatrice Beall, Sybil Baker, Lois Campbell, Evelyn Manwarning, Frieda Watson, and Leona Crossman. The “All-Star teams” played March 5 and the dope bucket was certainly upset, for the second All-Star team trounced the first with a 9 to 15 score. The girls played several curtain raisers before the High School games. They were well attended. A pennant is to be given to the winning team as well as class numerals. We consider our B. B. season very successful and are looking forward to it next fall. Besides sports the girls are quite active doing natural gymnastics, apparatus work, folk dancing, natural dancing, clogging, volleyball, group games and some corrective or remedial gymnastics.

If you spend all you earn, you’re a fool. If you lose it. you’re out. If you find it, you’re in. If you owe it. they’re always after you. If you lend it. you're always after them. It's the cause of evil. It’s the cause of good. It’s the cause of happiness. It’s the cause of sorrow. If the government makes it, it’s all right. If you make it. it's all wrong. As a rule it’s hard to get. But it's pretty soft when you get it. It talks! To some it says, I’ve come to stay. To others it whispers. Good-bye.” Some people get it at a bank. Others go to jail for it. The Mint makes it first. It’s up to you to make it last. HOME ELECTRIC SHOP HOWARD TUSCOLA WEAVER ILLINOIS H. E. Rhodes Tuscola ROY A. PALMER, D.O.

VEST DEALER Good Repair Service Makes a Good Dealer Better One hundred twelve A STAYIN’ IN Ann sits across the aisle. And Lloyd right behind me. Johnnie on the other side And in front of me sits Peely. Temptation then does set to work One word I just must say, Then Peely he doth clear his throat, “You girls stay in today.” So then at three-thirty we pass With twenty more just like us. Books and pencils in our hands, We go to have a circus. But when we start to have our fun, Peely sets and watches. While Anna bites her finger nails, And Bill chews at some matches. Then Peely sits upon his perch And looks just awful mean. Says Johnnie, “I wish I had a brick, I’d knock him in the bean.” But Peely has such long sharp ears, He heard John’s every word, And snatched him out into the hall, Then we some racket heard. And when he got through with poor John We thought ’twas time to go— But Peely was in no big rush. He must conquer one more foe. So proudly did he stalk the aisle And scowled to his heart’s content. Finding none bad enough. He put on his hat and went. We all sat there wondering What we were to do? We did no more than Peely did— We got up and went too. Miss Webber (To class): “Work this sum. Two eggs at five cents each, a pint of milk at six cents a pint, and a half a pound of sugar at ten cents a pound. What do they make together?” Jane Beall: “Please, Miss, a custard.” Farmer: “Yes, I need a man fer helpin’ about. A man who can milk and drive a Ford car.” Howard Weasel: “Well-er-I can drive a Ford but I’m darned if I can milk it.” “Mother!” cried Alberta, Wayne Lewis’ sister, as she rushed into the farm house, “Wayne wants the listerine. He just caught the cutest little black and white animal, and he thinks it’s got halitosis.” One hundred thirteen FaoluUv ! , ..- - , ■ ... _____ K .

C. H. S.: “It is better to wear out than to rust out,” is illustrated by the following: Mrs. Flack: “You may take the next ten pages and read the next chapter in Bassett for tomorrow.” Beulah—“How did you get that lump on your head?” Tack—“That’s where a thought struck me.” Mr. Wulliman—“Joe, what is a vacuum?” Joe Cain—“I have it in my head, but I can’t explain it.” Flunker—“I wish I had 32 cents.” Bright Senior—“Yes, if your backbone was as strong as your wishbone, you’d have been graduated long ago.” Senior—“Pardon me for walking on your feet.” Freshie—“That’s all right; I do it myself.” Mr. Hackett took Monk to the incubator in the cellar to see the eggs hatch. Mr. Hackett—“Isn’t it queer how little chicks get out of the shell?” “Huh!” said Monk, “what gets me is how they get in there.” Mr. Wulliman—“Why, this is the fourth time I’ve called to see the baby, and each time he’s been asleep.” Mr. Collins—“Well, you’d better call about two o’clock in the morning.” Miss Lowe was trying to illustrate the meaning of the word “give”. “Now, pupils, the next word is one of importance, or should be. Helen, tell me what the word is. Suppose I were to ask your father for a dollar, and he wanted me to have it, what would he do?” Helen Sturgell—“He’d ask mama for it.” YOU CAN ALWAYS You can always tell a Senior, he is so sedately dressed; You can always tell a Junior, by the way he swells his chest; You can always tell a Freshman, by his timid looks and such: You can always tell a Sophomore, but you cannot tell him much. We editors may dig and think Till our finger tips are sore, But some poor saphead’s sure to say, “Aw, I’ve heard that joke before.” One hundred fifteen ■ I———.——— -—■■ —■— For CHAS. A.

FRANKLIN AT WILLIAM DECATUR : : : : ILLINOIS One hundred nineteen Mrs. Flack (in Economics) : “What other kind of stock is there besides preferred?” Amy Todd: “Live Stock.” Miss Taylor: “Are you sure this is original?” Harry L.: “Well, you might find some of the words in the dictionary.” The Seniors are the smartest. The Juniors then next best. The Sophs are the meanest. And the Freshmen are the rest. Excuses: Queer things happen to children according to the notes received in the office after absences. Here are a few examples: “Edith’s stomach was off and I kept her home a few days.” Mrs. Lee. “Marjorie was not well enough to go to school yesterday. Her head was very bad all day, but it worked off during the night.” Mrs. Davis. Roses are red, Violets are blue But they’re much too expensive For a girl like you. Mrs. Flack: “If the President, Vice-President and all the members of the Cabinet should die, who would officiate?” Weldon Hackett (after a long pause) : “The undertaker.” Lois: “What are the two hardest subjects known?” Brick: “Algebra and getting up.” Miss Deer (watching football practice) “My but those boys are dirty. How will they ever get clean ?” Mr. Wulliman: “That’s what the scrub team is for.” Milton married and wrote “Paradise Lost.” His wife died and he wrote “Paradise Regained.” Mr. Morgan: “Why is it that you are always at the bottom of the class?” Don: “That doesn’t make any difference. Dad, they teach the same thing at both ends.” One hundred twenty HANNA AND McGARY FURNITURE AND UNDERTAKING Tuscola, Illinois Farmers State Bank Tuscola, Illinois Your Friend’s Bank and Yours JOHN C.

GRAIN AND COAL ELEVATORS Tuscola 61 Hayes 426 Galton 17 One hundred twenty-two 0= F =D A Big Store Where Men and Boys Get What They Want in Wearing Apparel at the Price They Wish to Pay JOS. KUHN CO. :: 33-35-37 MAIN ST. CHAMPAIGN :: “NEW COACH” Leon “Nick” Carter has been secured from a list of fifty applicants, by our school board to be director of athletics in Tuscola for next year. Although “Nick” has been very successful at Rantoul this past year, his football team did not set the world afire, but with the material he had he was considered successful. It was in basketball that Carter hung up a very fine record, defeating Villa Grove and Peoria Central. Before coming to Rantoul he attended Bradley at Peoria and in that school was rated the greatest athlete ever turned out of that school. He was an all-star selection in football, playing end and fullback. In basketball he was captain and high scorer. He also holds the “Little Nineteen” record in discus and shot put. We were very fortunate to secure him, and it was through our wonderful equipment and well known school that he wished to make the change. One hundred twenty-three AFFECTIONATE EYES “No, I wouldn’t like to say she’s cross-eyed, but her eyes are apparently so beautiful that they can’t help looking at each other.” Marjorie: “Oh, we took the lovliest drive, and I saw so many trees and flowers!” Jack Haney: “Where did you drive? What was the name of the place?” Marjorie: “Oh, it was called ‘Detour’.” Miss Deatherage was using the phonograph to make the Musical History class familiar with good music. Two famous opera singers had just finished a duet, and Miss Deatherage said: Now, Thelbert, tell me the names of the singers we have just heard.” Thelbert K.: “Caruso.” Miss Deatherage: “Yes, who was singing with Caruso?” Thelbert: “His man Friday.” Mrs. Flack: “Bonnie, who was Captain John Smith?” Bonnie A.: “He was the man who settled Plymouth in 1492.” Paul Romine: “Where do you bathe?” Mr. Keigwin: “In the Spring.” Paul: “Oh! I asked where, not when.” Pencils lent to girls remind us That they’ll ne’er again be seen For who can get back a pencil That he’d lent to a fair queen? One hundred twenty-four WHAT WOULD HAPPEN If Miss Taylor returned our test papers, If John Davis forgot to argue, If Sarah Munday was absent from school, If Gladys Gill made a lot of noise, If Mildred Harrington couldn’t recite, If Miss Deathrige broke her baton, If the faculty took a vacation, If John Morris lost his charm. If Don Morgan didn’t stay after school for whispering, If Howard Weasel didn’t go to a dance, If nobody made the Hunkers list. If somebody didn’t look after the Freshmen, If Tom Lovett didn’t like the girls. If Mrs. Flack forgot to sign outside reading, If Mr. Kiegwin forgot to talk about his wife, If Miss Sluss wasn’t Senior class advisor, If Mr. Collins forgot to read the detention list. Miss Frantz: “Helen did you wash that fish before you baked it?” Helen Black: “No, what’s the use? It has lived in water all it’s life.” Senior at photographer’s: “These pictures of me are no good. I look like an age.” Photographer: “You should have thought of that before you had them taken.” Mr. Hall: “Ma, Oris has been hurt in football.” Mrs. Hall: “What does the call say?” Mr. Hall: “His nose is broken. He wants to know how to have it set, Greek or Roman.” She says “No” Meaning “Maybe” She can’t say “Yes” For she is a lady, Moral—“Why ask.” One hundred twenty-five a j i AUTOGRAPHS One hundred twenty-six One hundred (went -seven CONCLUSION if these pages have given you a better recollection of your years at T.
