■ W.' m. £ ; .y- %j+ Si' . � -? . ;••£ '• '.• - —-■ nd iWMBa Published by the SENIOR CLASS of the TUSCOLA COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL TUSCOLA, ILLINOIS VOLUME VII EDITORIAL We all like to think of the knights and of their customs. Yet, when they lived, they had their troubles and “heart-aches and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to”. Time is kind in that it tends to erase and mellow all misfortunes. Today when we think of the knights, we forget their hardships and recall with pleasure the bits of our knowledge of those times when knighthood was in flower. We have all had our burdens and trials during our school life, but this Annual is to preserve only the happiest of our memories. We hope that it will achieve its goal, and can be termed successful.

Page twenty-seven Way hack in 1923, the first Monday in September, we started our career in Tuscola High School. We shall not call ourselves green, even if it was the truth, because we are now dignified Seniors. At our first class meeting we elected Thelma Powers president; Virginia Brown, vice-president; Margaret Paullin, secretary-treasurer. Miss Schujahn and Miss Young were our first class advisors, hut Mr. Wulliman took us on our first picnic. It was at Patterson Springs, and we held a combination track meet and baseball game among the trees. Our experience as Freshmen did not last long, for we didn’t have any detention or deportment!!! John Morris was our Sophomore president. (This is where he got his start as a sheik.) Anna Voelkel was vice-president; Charles Dotson was secretary-treasurer. This year Edward Trager, George Wilson, Orus Hall, Eugene Stantz, Russell Black and John Morris helped raise our class into prominence in the football world. Basketball claimed Johnny and Orus. Our “Sheik” was so popular we elected him Junior president; Anna Voelkel, vice-president; Thelbert Kinney, secretary-treasurer. Misses Johnson and Frantz advised us. We gave the Seniors a reception which was a success in spite of the confetti showers. Let us here insert a warning: “Juniors, save your money!” Our same bovs, with the addition of Herbert Simpson and Thelbert Kinney, succeeded in football. Russ was captain of the football squad; Johnny of the basketball team. Our musically talented, namely, Marjorie Davis, Anna Voelkel, Janet Overturf, Evelyn Crossman, Neola Parker, Leslie Cooper. Thelbert Kinney, and Milas Thomas played in our high school orchestra. “Second Childhood” was our class play. About five hundred people attended, and their praise was worth all the labor we expended, but we promised them a better one this year. Our guiding advisors for us. the Seniors, are Misses Webber and Sluss, who are helping 11s in the task of making our Annual a success. Our officers are: Charles Dotson, president; Orus Hall, vice-president; Anna Voelkel, secretary; and Evelyn Crossman, treasurer. The Senior representatives on the football team “which was captained by Johnny” were those of the preceding years, with the exception of Herbert Simpson, who is now known as “hubby.” Orus Hall was captain of our basketball team, and we are proud of it, too. We realize that our days under the colors of the “Old Gold and Black” are fading rapidly away, and will soon be at an end. Nevertheless, we are all looking forward and thinking about the travelling of the wide road that stretches before 11s. Hie est non finis sed inceptum. —E. C. and C. I). Poyc twenty-eujht CLASS PROPHECY OF '27 In 1937, while home for Christinas vacation, we decided to go to the dentist and have our teeth examined. We walked up the same steps to the office, where as high school students we had gone to have our teeth pulled by the painless (???) dentist, Doctor Rice. We opened the door, and who should meet us hut Donna Webb, the office girl. She told us that the dentist was busy, but her explanation was needless, for just then a howl issued from behind the closed door. A second later the door openend and out rushed a small, red-haired boy. followed by a red-haired Irish woman. We rose to our feet, our hearts beating wildly, for who should it be but Marie Froman, formerly “Judge” Kevil! After her ran. not short Dr. Rice, but tall Theb Kinney, waving the hammer in one hand and the pliers in the other. Both mother and dentist were shouting so loudly that it frightened even us, and much more so poor little Dave. At the sight of us they stopped simultaneously, and their surprise was as great as ours. After confused greetings, we wanted to sit down and have a good long talk about high school days, but. as usual, Marie had to go find Dave, go home and milk the cows, and bring little Dave back in time to practise at school. So we said good-bye with promises of seeing her later. Little Dave said. “Will you, huh ?” Theb asked us if we would like to go across the street to get something to eat, and of course we assented. At the foot of the stairs whom should we meet but our old schoolmates, Merrill Fox, Paul Taylor, and Ed Trager. After pumping our hands with a vigorous farmer’s handshake, they told us that they were going up to the Farm Bureau office to a directors’ meeting, Merrill being president. Paul was still feeling rather “chesty” over his recent winnings at the International Livestock Show at Chicago. After our short but delightful meeting with our three farmer classmates, we went across the street to our old high school hangout, Buehrigs. e were quite surprised to see the name “Green Parrot” over the door; upon entering we found Sibyl Baker to be the chic and efficient manager. We exchanged greetings with her; then, upon starting back to our table, whom should we see but Johnny Morris hanging over the victrola, playing “No More Worrying,” just as he used to do. We all sat down and Rosalia PHum took our orders; she was rather plump because she had indulged in so many sweets. After our order was taken, we started discussing the whereabouts of our classmates. Johnny told us that he was coach here in Tuscola, and that he and Mildred Rice, the P. T. teacher, fought a daily battle as to who should use the gym. He said that times were just like they used to be—the football fellows still got ninety-eight in deportment. He also told us that instead of Peely . Charles Dotson was reading the detention list. While he was talking, we glanced around and on the wall we saw a calendar from the “Bade, Benner Canning Factory ’; this certainly surprised us. We learned that after many trials and tribulations, Tack and Beulah finally agreed long enough to get married (and then started fussing again). We were surprised to hear of the divorce of hretta and Dick. He sued her because of jealousy of Romine, who was their mail carrier; but she filed a cross Pai e twenty-nine n .ingmpnTnrmrnim, ♦ I '% ;TTt7rnnimiimn,mnfinij. r p —- bill and obtained the divorce from him because of cruel and inhuman treatment. Imagine—Dick cruel! Glenn Utterback was cover artist for “La Vogue” fashion magazine; he was very clever in sketching the latest Parisian styles. While we were talking about this, Marjorie Davis came in; she told us that she was traveling with a Lyceum circuit, and that Renos and Neola were with the same company. She also told us that Lawrence was stage manager of a theatre in Chicago, and that Evelyn Crossman was teaching Latin in Oxford College. While traveling she had been in California and had seen Helen Foulks; Helen had gone to school out there, and had married a classmate who keeps her well fed on chocolates. Cleo had gone to Florida and was instructor of a swimming class. Marjorie then had to go, so we said good-bye, and the boys went oil with their account. Joe Cain was assistant coach at Notre Dame. Leslie was still in Fesotum. farming with his father and tooting his horn occasionally from WLS. Herb Simpson and Amy had moved away, and had not been heard from for a long time. Milas Thomas was running the Matinee store and was very successful. On glancing up we saw Marie Ohlsen and Donnabell Lewis; they were home for vacation too. Marie was P. T. teacher at Areola, and Donnabell at Villa Grove. From them we found out what several of our friends were doing. Irene Kleiss and Harry Oye were married and living at Gabon; Irene had been very successful raising buff rock chickens, and Harry took all the prizes on pig culture. Juanita Evans was stenographer in her father’s garage; she had her office in the front so she could watch for “Griss”, and signal him as to whether or not her father was there. Ruth Jones was teaching in the commercial department at Areola; she roomed with Marie. Inez Huber was bookkeeper for the Kennedy, Huber, and Sharpe Hatchery. Stella Powell was teaching her home school. After Marie and Donnabell had gone, Johnny and Theb asked us about the rest of the “I). E.’s”. We started out with Helen, telling them that she ran a gift shop in the University district in Champaign. Margaret and Charles, of course, were happily married and were living in Decatur. Edith, after picking over most of the fellows at Illinois, married a fellow from New York. Anne and Orus were treading the matrimonial path together—that is, they have been since they got started, 'i ou know that Anne was late for her wedding; but Ike. «inre he had waited so many times, waited once more. After this we looked at each other with puzzled faces—we hadn’t heard much about Janet and Virginia. Johnny exclaimed, “Why, haven’t you heard about them?” He proceeded to tell us that Janet and Russ had been engaged for about six months and had set the day for the wedding. The day before the wedding Janet and Wilfred eloped! Russ was frantic! In his frenzied slate ot mind he married Virginia the next day. They are now living in Chicago, and Russ is selling shoes for Sears Roebuck and Company. When they asked us what we were doing, we told them that we were going to see a little of the world, and then get 11s a cat and dog and settle down. —F. W. and Ik B.

We, the members of the Senior Class of 1927, do hereby appoint the president of the class of ’28 to see that this will is duly, justly, and legally carried out in accordance with the above directions.

Page thirty-two Page thirty-three n fn nrnimnTTTTTi rrrm r, JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY For three years now we have been busy learning the ways of high school, the knowledge of books, and the class spirit. We hope we have accomplished something. This year our class officers are: president, Walter Schafer; vice-president. Montelle Hackett; secretary-treasurer, Helen Black; Student Council representative, Thelma Warren; assistant Annual editor, Ervin Keal. We feel that we have one of the best classes in school. We are well represented on the Honor Roll, in athletics for girls as well as for boys, and in every other activity. We also have some real dramatic talent in our class Our class play, “Professor Pepp”, was a great success. Our only social activity for the first semester was a wiener roast in honor of Laura Jones, an ex-member of the class. Next semester the big event we are looking forward to is the Junior-Senior reception. Our ranks are somewhat smaller this year, although we still have a large class. We are sorry to lose Laura Jones, who is attending a boarding school, and glad to have Ervin Keal with us again. T. W.

But we soon learned, and proved ourselves not quite so green as some upper classmen seemed to think we were. We held our first class meeting September 4, 1925. At this meeting we nominated our class officers, which were elected a week later. Our Freshmen officers were: president, Maude Hine; vice-president, Norton Payne; secretary-treasurer, Mary Warren; Student Council representative, Dorris Rose. We chose as our motto, “Labor conquers all things.” We selected silver and blue for our class colors. Miss Taylor and Miss Deer were our class advisors. This year we are worldly-wise Sophomores and can tell the “Freshies” a few things. We elected for our class officers: Dale Roberts, president; Maude Hine, vice-president; Lois Weatherford, secretary-treasurer; and Billy Flack, Student Council representative. Miss Johnson and Miss Rumsey are our class advisors. Besides being one of the largest classes in high school, we have the distinction of having the largest per cent of any class on the honor and high honor rolls. Not only this, hut we have members in every club in high school, and several of the boys are on the football and basketball teams. The girls are also doing rather well this year, and we only hope they keep it up. We sincerely wish to continue through high school as we have begun, and if we do, we bid fair to be the best class ever graduated from Tuscola High. M. H„ ’29.

You see, it was our class! Did we do the things Freshmen invariably do? Oh no! In fact we did worse. Early during that historic month, we held our class election with the help of Mr. Collins. Miss Deer and Miss Taylor were given the job of Freshman advisors. Elizabeth Patton was elected president; Arthur Harnett, vice-president; Marie Tav, secretary-treasurer; and Marjorie I’artli, Student Council member. All of the business of getting adjusted did not keep some of our boys from going out for football. The ones who received the Seconds’ letter were Earl Albritton, Lawson Albritton, Arthur Barnett, Wayne Gates, Paul Cooper, Glenn Collins, and Donald Tuttle. Quite a few went out for basketball, too. In December we held a class party in the gym. After dancing and games, Refreshments were served in the cafeteria. We hope to have another party the second semester. During the year we became very well acquainted with the Hunkers’ list and detention list; but then the honor roll wasn’t entirely unknown. We had several Freshmen in the orchestra and various clubs, although the Science Club seemed to attract most of us. May our class survive the four years and come out with colors flying! J. E. P.

We fain would lift our hearts in song, To our High School, our dear Alma Mater, Let gladness the moments prolong; We are proud of her lads and her lasses, Of honors won in days gone by, So here’s a cheer for our old High School, For our old High School, our dear “Old High!” CHORUS— Here’s to our classes, here’s to our lasses, Here’s to the lads they adore; Here’s to the Seniors so mighty. Juniors so ilighty, Freshy and Sophomore; Let mirth and gladness banish all sadness, And as the days go by, You’ll find us ready and steady, ready and steady, Boosting Tuscola High. 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. And friendships, too, that ne’er can die; Then here’s a cheer for our old High School, For our old High School, our dear “Old High!

I 2 1 2 TSTTTTm Page forty-one COACH CARTER Mr. Leon Carter, our new coach, has put new life into athletics in our high school. He is the best all-around man we have ever had. This is the sentiment of every boy in high school. Mr. Carter is a man of high ideals, and there is no such word as fail in his vocabulary. He has an eye for teamwork development, and readily sees our mistakes. He tells us our faults in a way that we never fail to understand, and in a way that helps us to light to the last minute. He is not a driver, but an encourager. He has a way of doing things that fills the whole school with “pep”. He is a pep-maker, a lover of sports, and a backer of our school. He is known throughout the Okaw Valley and beyond as a man of unflinching courage and a worthy foeman. He is a good instructor in his classes. He is a man who is giving his whole soul and heart to the task he has undertaken. Off the field Mr. Carter enjoys his little jokes with the boys and is a good mixer. There is not one in school whom Mr. Carter would not do all in his power to help. He is backed by every pupil and by all our citizens. We are all proud of him, for we know that a large share of the credit for our standing in athletics is due to him. He has the confidence of his pupils, and the respect of our townspeople. He gives all that lie has and then comes back with a little bit more. T. A. G. Page forty-two The Championship Team Page forty‘three THE CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL SEASON In the 1926 football team T. C. H. S. has something of which to be proud. Not every team can make such a remarkable showing as this one has done. It has completed one of the most successful seasons of T. C. H. S.’s football career. Not a touchdown was scored against this team. Tuscola acquired a final score of 250 points against that of 5 made hy opponents. To its coach, “Nick” Carter, the team owes the organization and skill which gained for it the Okaw Valley Championship. Tuscola.. 34 Lovington .... 0 Tuscola.. 39 Atwood .... 0 Tuscola.. 36 Bement .... 2 Tuscola... 13 Arthur .... 0 Tuscola.. 64 Villa Grove .... 0 Tuscola.. 34 Monticello .... 0 Tuscola.. 13 Newman .... 0 Tuscola.. 18 Areola .... 3 TUSCOLA, 34; LOVINGTON, 0 The 1926 football season was opened by the game with Lovington High This certainly proved a good starter for a successful season. The team was in excellent working order with Black “going good”. The whole backfield displayed good work. The line was one of the best defensive lines in many years. All football fans were pleased with the first game of the season. TUSCOLA, 39; ATWOOD, 0 The next week the boys were met on the Tuscola field by the Atwood team, where they proved to be good swimmers in the rain and mud. It was a bad football day, but that made no difference, as was proved bv Old Gold and Black coming out with a victory. The points in this game were made by Black, Hall, and Morris. TUSCOLA, 36; BEMEINT, 2 In what was “doped” to be a hard game with Bement, the Tuscola warriors obtained a decisive victory. Two points were scored by a safety, which were the first points made against us this year. Bement was a much better team than either of the other two teams which Tuscola had played. Black again starred in spectacular runs. TUSCOLA, 13; ARTHUR, 0 Tuscola played its first football game away from home this season, October 16, at Arthur. Arthur had a strong and clever team, '['hat meant that our Page forty-four boys would have to fight much harder than they had for the first games; however, Tuscola was just thirteen points stronger than Arthur. Tuscola drew 110 yards penalty and made seven first downs, while Arthur had 40 yards penalty and four first downs. All the fellows played well, hut Froman and Stantz had lots of fun throwing the Arthur men for losses. Touchdowns were made by Black and Keal. TUSCOLA, 64; VILLA GROVE, 0 Villa Grove proved our expectations in being an easy opponent to heat. Villa Grove’s goal line was crossed almost at will. The final score of 64 to 0 easily proves for itself what Tuscola did to Villa Grove. Black made five touchdowns; Hall, three; Green, two. Points after touchdowns were made by Black, Green, and Kinney. “Nick” proved that he had more than just eleven on his team in the game, for twenty-nine men saw service. TUSCOLA, 34; MOINTICELLO, 0 On Armistice day, Tuscola players, accompanied by the most of Tuscola’s population, went to Monticcllo to play the annual Armistice day football game. From the first, Monticello’s players seemed so astonished that they could not collect their wits; at any rate, they were stopped before they even got started. Only in the last quarter did they rally and seem to play real football. It is said that Tuscola played its best that day. Dick Stantz made a spectacular touchdown after running 40 yards with an intercepted pass. Black was playing his usual game and Keal was “going good”. Two touchdowns were made by Black, while Hall, Stantz, and Roy gained one each. TUSCOLA, 13; NEWMAN, 0 Then came the Newman game—the crisis ot the season. Neither team had been defeated, and the winner of this game was entitled to the Okaw V alley Championship; however, Tuscola came through with colors flying, still victorious. The first touchdown of the 13-0 victory was made by Stantz when he ran 5 yards after having caught a fumbled ball, just as he had done in the Monticello game. The second touchdown resulted from a forty-five yard pass from Hall to Green, who ran a few yards to cross the goal line. The defensive work was consistent throughout the game. Patje forty-five TUSCOLA, ISj ARCOI.A, 0 The Thanksgiving game was played this year on Areola’s home field. It had rained all day Wednesday and Thursday morning, so that the field was wet and slippery, making it hard to make consistent gains. The first few min utes of play were exciting, to say the least, when we made two touchdowns in succession. The first one was made by Black, who caught a pass from Mali and crossed the goal line. The second one was made by Green, who picked up the ball from a fumble and crossed over. Both attempts for extra points failed. In the second quarter Areola got down to about the twenty-yard line and dropped for a field goal. In the third quarter Stantz gathered in a fumbled punt in Areola’s territory and carried it to the ten-yard line. Then in three plays Hall crashed his way through for our third and last touchdown, making the final score 18 to 3. In the last quarter neither team was able to score. It was the roughest game of the season, although Tuscola can still boast of that clean sportsmanship for which she has always been noted. We sincerely hope that next year’s season will be as successful as this year’s has been. q. h., ’27. Payc forty-six © John Morris—Captain. Quarterback “Johnny” Morris was credited with being: the smartest field general in the Okaw Valley and was chosen on the all-star team. John was a good player and a good captain. Montelle Hackett—Guard “Monk” Captain-elect Hackett was a power on offensive and defensive, lie was at the bottom of every play and always got his man. His value to the team and his popularity won him the captaincy for next year. Eugene Stantz—Center “Dick” Dick Stantz. star center, besides passing the ball perfectly and jamming up the opponents' running attack. found time to intercept passes and turn them into touchdowns in important games. He was the best center in the conference and we will miss him next year. Russeu. Black—Halfback “George” Russ was known as the distance man on the team and the distance lie covered netted him eighteen touchdowns and several Tuscola victories. He was a marked man in every game, but his running, kicking, and passing never failed to gain. Once in the open lie was hard to get down. He had a berth on the Okaw Valley and Central Illinois All-Star teams. Page forty-seven Joe Cain—Guard “Joe” Joe did not get to play the first games because of injuries, but when lie did play he made up for lost time. When Joe stopped them they knew that they had been hit, and he was a good man on offensive. THHUBERT Kinnicy—End Socket” Although this was Theb’s first year of football, he made a great showing. His height and ability to handle a ball made him a good pass receiver. He could also be called back for a drop-kick and get good results. Orus Ham.—Fullback “Ike” Hall was a good line-plunger and the most accurate forward pass thrower on the team. When Tuscola needed a yard or two to gain first downs or put over touchdowns, ike always delivered. Edward Tracer—Halfback “Ed” Tragcr, although he didn’t carry the ball as often as the other backs, was one of the most important cogs in the machine. He was the best blocker on the team and always cleared a path for the other backs. The team next year will miss those holes that he always had open for the other fellow. Page forty-eight Ervin Keal—End “Chuck” Although this was his first year, he had the spirit and determination that soon won him a place on the team. He worked hard all the time and his work sure showed up—yes, showed up his opponent. Richard Roy—Fullback “Bill” This was Dick’s first year on the team. He was a real fighter, and he surely could hit that line as well as play a good game on defense. He will be hack next year and should go good. Frkdkric Hii.GEnbERG—Center “Brick” Brick is a real fighter and always full of pep. His work at Arthur helped greatly to save the day and showed what he really could do. Brick will he back and should go big next season. Wilfred Johnson—Guard “Johnson” Wilfred is a good guard. He sure can hold that line on defense and docs it every down. Few and short were the gains that came through his side of the line. Pane forty-nine TiTMgmnnnnmnnnn Paul Matthews—End “Matty” Matty was a handy little end and played hard, but did not come out very regularly. He shone most on defense because he was a hard man to get out of a play. Roy From an—Tackle “Dave” We were glad to have Dave hack in school this year because he was a big power in our team. He sure had things his own way with most every opponent and was picked for the all-star team. Tack Green—End “Red” A determined yet clean fighter is the kind of man that clams the admiration of friend or foe. and that is the type of man the Tuscola High School football squad had in the person of Tack Green. Tack was the greatest all-round football player in the conference. He was chosen as an end on the Okaw Valley and Central Illinois teams. Tack will he hack next year. Don Morc.an—Tackle Morg” Morg is always full of fight and is not afraid to give all he has. His tackles are hard and sure, making him a great man on defense.

He was always fighting, and used his head to good advantage. He also was a good long shot and usually made one or two baskets a game. John Morris—Guard “John nic” Johnnie was a fast little floor-worker; he always played a good floor game and was usually in the scoring column. When Johnnie and Hall were together at guard, no one needed to worry about any set-ups. e S00M rj ft Thici.bkrt Kinney—Center “Theb” Theb was the scoring ace of the team.

Wilfred Johnson—Center “Johnson” Johnson was a good shot, and a handy man with the ball. Next year he will prove his mettle. Page fifty-four jnmmnmni ♦ BASKETBALL Our 1926-27 basketball team was the most successful team that we have had in several years. Aside from winning a high per cent of the scheduled games, this team won the Douglas County Tournament and also won second place in the Tolono Invitational Tournament. However, due to several injured players, we lost our first game of the District Tournament. Our team played great basketball to win the County Tournament, defeating three strong teams, Arthur, Villa Grove, and Newman. All three games were close and very exciting. The victory over Villa Grove was one especially coveted, as it prevented them from keeping the three-year loving cup, which they had won for two consecutive years. The game with Newman had the spirit of real rivalry. The game seemed to be won and lost several times, but as we had done in football, we again bested Newman. This victory gave us a one-year title to the three-year cup. We did not win first place in the Okaw Valley Conference, but tied for third place with Monticello. Our team was considered one of the hardest foes in the Valley, as they always played with that fighting spirit which carried them through so many games. There was great competition in the Valley, consisting of strong teams, and we can say with pride that there was not a team that we did not defeat at least once. Much is to be said for Coach Carter, as the team consisted of the same players which made the team last year. The results of the team this season will certainly show the difference of the two teams. “Nick” instilled into this team that fighting spirit and taught them the many plays of the game. Every one has certainly appreciated “Nick.” The people of Tuscola and students have been boosters of the team throughout the season, and are to be congratulated upon the fine spirit shown.

The first meet was the Interscholastic Meet at Millikin University at Decatur. At this meet, Ike Hall took first place in the mile run. The Okaw Valley Meet proved a victory for Tuscola. Russ Black won three firsts, and one third. Ike Hall won one first and one second. Elton Slaughter and Red Green each won a second place, and Harry Oye and Walter Schafer each took a third. Tuscola is proud of the fact that we won the first Okaw Valley Meet. In the District Meet at Mattoon we were beaten by only one point, which is rather surprising when but four of our men placed. These four men, Ike Hall, Russ Black, Red Green, and Elton Slaughter placed high enough to enter the State Meet which was held in the Stadium at the University of Illinois. In this meet, Ike was beaten in the mile for the first time, but took a third, which is very good in that meet. The other fellows failed to win in this meet. Mr. Collins, who took time aside from his other work, coached the team, and his work was a great factor to the success of the team. Page fifty-seven Our Athletic Field Boys’ Physical Training Page fifty-eight GIRLS' ATHLETICS Girls’ Athletics at T. C. H. S. are becoming more popular each year. New sports are being added yearly and the girls are becoming more interested in athletics. Girls’ Athletics consist of hockey, tennis, baseball, basketball, bat ball, field and track, and natural dancing, in addition to the usual gymnastics. A hockey and tennis tournament was planned in the fall, but was not possible on account of the fall weather. If the spring weather permits, we are planning on having an interclass baseball tournament. The Illinois League of Girls’ Athletics is endorsing interscholastic golf and tennis for girls. We are planning on challenging other schools in tennis, thus adding to the interest of the sport. Before the regular annual basketball tournament, we held an elimination tournament between the different hourly classes. The fifth hour class were champions. These games were real exciting and gave each team more practice. The annual tournament started January 25. Each team was given a chance to play the other teams twice. There was much excitement. The Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors were well-matched. Each was determined to claim the honor of being champions. In the first game the Seniors walloped the Freshmen to the tune of 20 to 4, the Sophomores beat the “dressed up” Juniors to the tune of 12 to 10. The next game the Seniors were victorious over the Juniors to the tune of 15 to 8. The Freshmen were again defeated. The Juniors then defeated the Freshmen, and the Seniors and Sophomores played a hair-raising game which ended in a tied score of 12 to 12. This ended the first round of the tournament with the Seniors and Sophomores tied for first place. P(Ujc fifty-nine The respective class teams are as follows: SENIOR Forwards: Beatrice Beall, Sibyl Baker; sub., Marjorie Davis, Ruth Jones. Jump Center: Mildred Rice; sub., Anna Voelkel. Side Center: Donnabell Lewis; sub., Janet Overturf. Guards: Frieda Watson, Marie Ohlsen; sub., Marjorie Davis. JUNIOR Forwards: Dorothy Lincoln, Cleo Martin, Flelen Black.

Side Center: Ruby Abney; sub., Cecile Crossman. Guards: Marie Tay, Mary Sain; sub., Ila Bible. In the second round of the tournament the Sophomores won all their games and the Juniors defeated the Seniors. This gave the Sophomores an undisputed championship, while the Seniors took second place and the Juniors took third place. The highest scorer was Dorothy Lincoln, who had 69 points to her credit. The next highest was Gladys Burmeister with 59 points chalked up. Elizabeth Patton starred for the Freshmen, Gladys Burmeister for the Sophomore squad, Dorothy Lincoln for the Juniors, and Mildred Rice, Donnabell Lewis and Frieda Watson for the Seniors. A first and second all-star team was chosen by three members of the high school faculty. The teams are as follows: ALL-STAR TEAM Forwards: Dorothy Lincoln, Gladys Burmeister. Jump Center: Thelma Warren. Side Center: Donnabell Lewis. Guards: Dorothy Toliver, Marie Ohlsen; sub., Pauline Mevis. SECOND ALL-STAR TEAM Forwards: Lucy Lewis, Beatrice Beall. Jump Center: Mildred Rice. Side Center: Jane Beall. Guards: Frances Petty, Lois Weatherford. Page sixty irmrmnnrn The all-star teams played a curtain-raiser game, Feb. 25. before the Mon-ticello game. The second-stars trounced the first-stars by a 13 to 12 score. A free-throw contest was held. It was won by Marjorie Davis. She was awarded a small gold basketball. We consider our basketball season very successful, and are looking forward to it next year. The girls like bat ball, a new game which was introduced this year. It is our plan to run off a tournament in both bat ball and volley ball. We are looking forward to a nice spring season so that we may have a track and baseball team. This is our first attempt at track, and the girls are very anxious to get started. Natural dancing was first introduced into our routine of gymnastics by our physical education instructor, Miss Blackburn. A very pleasing exhibition was held March 4. Much benefit can be derived from this activity. Thus, with the cooperation of Miss Blackburn and the girls, athletics this year have been very promising, and we hope it may continue in the future. 1). L., ’27.

Only students who have appeared in student dramatic productions and whose dramatic ability is recognized by the club, are admitted to membership. The purpose of the organization is to acquire poise before an audience and to further an interest in dramatic literature. It is the aim of the club to present at least three one-act plays during the school year. They gave Lady Gregory's “Spreading The News,” also “Sham” and “Buying Culture.” At various times the Student Council asks the Black and White Domino to take charge of assembly programs. They gave clever little stunts which were enjoyed by all the students. At Christmas time the organization produced an elaborate pageant with the assistance of the Glee Clubs. This year has been the best of all the five years since the Black and White Domino was organized. They have progressed farther and been more democratic than in previous years. Underclassmen have done as much as the upperclassmen for the betterment of the organization. It is hoped that the Black and hite Domino will continue, in the years to follow, to keep up the high standard set by the organization. Much of the success of the club is due to the competent supervision of Miss Doris Lowe. L. C. T., '27.

This organization is composed of the president of each class and one representative from each class. The members of the council are: Seniors, Charles Dotson. Janet Overturf; Juniors, Walter Schafer, Thelma Warren; Sopho mores. Dale Roberts, Billy Flack; Freshmen, Elizabeth Patton, Marjorie Barth; Miss Taylor as advisor. One of the most important things that was done by the Council was to obtain permission from the Board of Education to use the gymnasium for parties, with the understanding that the following rules were to be observed: Paujc sixty-seven ♦ I AYinmanura the parties should close at 10:30; three or four members of the faculty should be present; no one should leave the building, unless by permission from the chaperon; and no refreshments should be served in the gymnasium. The first party was a decided success; the music was excellent, and about one hundred attended. Refreshments were served in the cafeteria and the boys washed almost as many dishes as they consumed portions of ice-cream. The plans are now completed for a St. Patrick’s party, March 16. Programs were planned to be given before the assembly twice a week. Plays, short speeches by the men in the town, musical programs, and readings were some of the things that have entertained the students during the assembly period. The clubs, especially the Dramatic Club, have co-operated and given programs whenever asked by the Council. This organization has tried to serve the school in this way, and is ready at any time to consider suggestions offered by any student or faculty member. J. O., ’27. BOYS' GLEE CLUB OFFICERS President.....................................Leslie Cooper Secretary.................................Ervin Keal Librarian.....................................Robert Burgett The Boys’ Glee Club was not organized until after the football season, this year. Several new members were taken in, and the club now numbers twenty-seven. The boys’ club sang with the girls’ in the Christmas pageant, and they also sang at a Parent-Teachers’ meeting. They are working on songs for the Spring Music Festival now, under the direction of Miss Rumsey. R. W. B„ ’28. Pajc sixty-ciyht THE GIRLS' GYM CLUB OFFICERS President........................ Vicc-Presid ent.................. Secretary-T reasurer............. ....Mildred Rice ....Sibyl Baker Thelma Warren The Girls’ Gym Club has started out the year of 1926 and 1927, with renewed energy to accomplish more than has ever been accomplished in previous years. The old members seemed to be very much interested in the work this year and more girls were working for membership in the club. Twenty-five new members were initiated into the club on November 22, 1926, and were given a banquet. Each girl was requested to put on an individual stunt in costume. The stunts were exceptionally good. Page sixty-nine During the football season the club sold hot-dogs and candy, and the balance at the end of the season came up to the standard. The club awarded the following girls letters for earning one hundred and fifty points for participation in gymnastics, dancing, basketball, baseball, cap-tainball, walking, horseback riding, skating, apparatus, stunts, and hygiene, besides passing the required points of scholarship, team activity, posture, and hygiene: Beatrice Beall, Anna Voelkel, Leona Crossman, Frances Petty, Cleo Martin, Frieda Watson, Thelma Warren, and Dorothy Lincoln. The girls heretofore had given the football team a banquet, but this year decided to give them something to show their remarkable success. A banner was chosen, showing the games won and lost and their respective scores. This banner is to be placed in the auditorium. W e also donated a sum of money to help purchase a panel for pictures of various teams. Our next project was a health week. We devoted one day of the week to each of the following: posture, teeth, feet, agility tests. Every girl in school was eligible to compete. A silver loving cup was given to Maude Hine for having the best scoring. Our club has been a great success, due to the supervision of Miss Blackburn and the co-operation of the members. D. L-, ’27. DEBATING CLUB OFFICERS President......................... Vice-President.................... Parliamentarian................... Secretary-Treasurer............... ..Charles Dotson .....Tack Green Wilfred Johnson ....Mary Warren Our Debating Club was revived about the middle of the first semester this year. It had not been in existence for three years; so several interested students organized, with the following membership: Tack Green, Wilfred Johnson, Lyle Huff, Roy Froman, Billy Flack, William Rice, Mary Warren, Eva Tay, and Charles Dotson. The meetings were held under Mrs. Flack’s supervision and many fine points of debate have been stressed in this useful club. It was rumored that there would be a three-cornered debate with Atwood and Arthur sometime during the year, and this is the event to which everyone is looking forward. C. W. D., ’27. Page seventy LE CERCLE FRANCA IS OFFICERS President........................ Vice-President................... Secret ary-Treasurer............. Lawrence Taylor .....Fretta Ritz ......Cleo Helm The French Club was organized this year for the first time. The object of the club is to become acquainted with French customs and to learn to speak French more fluently. Any one is eligible to membership who has had one year of French or is now taking French. Meetings are held twice each month. Miss Johnson is the advisor, and the success of this club is due largely to her untiring efforts. We hope this club will continue in the years to come and that it will grow to be larger. C. LI., '27. lJai;e seventy-one NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY OFFICERS President...................................Anna Voelkel Secretary-Treasurer...............................Evelyn Crossman The National Honor Society was formed in an effort to excite more interest in scholarship. It has four words for its motto. They are Character, Service, Leadership, and Scholarship. Pupils who are taken into the society are considered from the standpoint of these four things. They are selected by the faculty. Last year Anna Voelkel and Evelyn Crossman were taken in, and during the first semester of this year Charles Dotson, Glenn Utterback, and Sibyl Baker were voted in. The symbol of this society is the torch, keystone and the four letters C. S. L. S. This is the highest honor that can be conferred upon a student while in high school and is one that every one should strive for. S. B., ’27.

A few members have dropped out, however. With Miss Rumsey as the director it could not help but be a success again this year. It furnishes music at the plays and at various other entertainments. It is the plan of this organization to give a spring concert, as it has the past two years. Those of the past two years were very successful, and it is hoped that it will be as great a success this year. N. P., ’27. Pane seventy-three PYTHAGOREAN CLUB President...... Vice-President.

(hit object is to learn about some interesting branches of mathematics which cannot, for lack of time, be dealt with in the class room. In order to become a member of this club the student must have completed two semesters of high school mathematics. At the beginning of this year we had twenty-eight at our first meeting. At our meetings we have problems given by the members of the club, biographies of famous mathematicians, and recently have taken up the study of the more familiar stars and constellations. L, W.

OFFICERS .......................Anna Voelkel .......................Tack Green ......................Billy Flack ...................Thelbert Kinney This club is creating more interest every year. Fifty members were enrolled at the beginning of the 1926 term. The programs have been well chosen as well as educational. One of the features of this organization was when the mock presidential election was held. The outcome was similar to a real election. Through the efforts of Mrs. Flack and the co-operation of the students, we believe our club has been a success. H. M. F., ’27.

The requirements of the T Club are: one must win a major T in one major sport such as football, baseball, basketball or track. The T Club does not devote all its time to athletics, but it put on a very pleasing program in the high school auditorium and were hosts to the biggest dance of the year in the high school gym. k,.

At the beginning of the school year, the above people were elected officers. The meetings are held twice a month and each program is in charge of several members. We play Latin cards sometimes and have Latin games, which are lots of fun. We made a few changes in the constitution. We have changed the name of our club, which was called “The Latin Club” last year, back to its original name, “Verartia,” signifying truth, art and knowledge. Under the faculty leadership of Miss Sluss, a great interest has been shown by the students and we have accomplished many worth-while things. The activities of the club increase the interest of the Latin students. J. B., ’29.

Sophomore girls who were transformed into fascinating Oriental maidens served the menu as follows: Mint Cherry Cocktail Bscalloped Chicken Peas in Timbales Mashed Potatoes Pickled Beets Olives Hot Rolls Marmalade Butter Frozen Fruit Salad Wafers Coffee Ice Box Pudding Nuts Characteristic features of the desert were given in the following toasts: Sphinx—Toastmaster.........................Mr. Collins Oasis..............................Mildred Harrington Pyramid.................................: Miss Webber Mummies...................................John Morris At one end of the dimly lighted room there was an Oriental tent surrounded by sand, and there were decorations in Oriental colorings throughout. Inspired by a good orchestra, we danced, while confetti and incense were king and queen of the air. M. P„ ’27. HALLOWE'EN DANCE The Student Council planned a Hallowe’en dance which was given in the gym. The Tuscola “Nightingales” furnished us with splendid music for the dancing. There were many clowns, gypsies, ghosts, and other Hallowe’en dressed people. The first prize went to Margaret Moore and Louise Kuechler for being the best-dressed couple, and second prize went to Leona Crossman as best-dressed individual. After the prizes were given out, we danced until we were called to the cafeteria, then we ran down to the first floor post-haste. We were served with brick ice cream and cookies, which tasted very good. After refreshments were served, we strolled back to the gym and danced. Later we departed, leaving the gym to the Hallowe’en spirits. All had a very good time, thanks to the Student Council. A. T. L., ’28.

It was a farcial comedy, written by Walter Ben Hare. Professor Pepp has just returned from Russia, and it is time for him to open school. An old friend of his, Mr. C. B. Buttonbuster, has decided to enter college as a Freshman. He disguises himself in college clothes and a wig, which brings much worry to the Professor. While in disguise, Mr. Buttonbuster makes love to the Professor’s niece, Betty, with whom bis son is also in love. Sim Batty, the policeman, discovers Buttonbuster’s disguise and makes it known. Aunt Minerva had once been engaged to C. B. Buttonbuster, but be bad forsaken her. She forgives him, however, and they decide to be companions. Howard and Betty are happy, and all turns out well. Through the entire play the nervousness of Professor Pepp is very outstanding. L. J. C., ’28. JUNIOR WIENER ROAST We have had few class parties this year, but so much is expected from the Juniors, not only by the underclassmen, but also by the Seniors, that we have not had time to’ think of parties. However, before our work had begun, the second week in September we had a wiener roast. We met at Ervin Park and enjoyed a few games, which stirred up our appetites. Some of us grew a little impateint waiting for our lunch, so the wieners were set out. 1 hey disappeared very rapidly, and the crowd became so drowsy from eating so many wieners that we soon found our way home. We were unfortunate in having only one of our class advisors, Coach Carter, with us, because Miss Lowe could not be here at that time. Every one reported a good time, and we are looking forward to another one next year. L. C. Payc ciyhty-four DAKKTOWN FROLIC On Friday evening, March 4, the Seniors presented a minstrel, entitled “A Darktown Frolic.” The curtain rose for the Prologue, revealing the Tuscola Nightingale Orchestra playing. Following the orchestra, Virginia Toney danced her interpretation of the “Black Bottom.” Next followed Elizabeth Hall and Elton Slaughter, presenting the famous “Low Down.” “Hoot” Gibson then danced one of his famous creations called “Hollywood Finale.” The Moore sisters (Margarete and Dorothy) sang charmingly “Thinking Of You.” As a closing number of the Prologue the three pages, Dorothy Toliver, Maude Hine, and Evelyn Hopkins, who announced each stunt, clogged. The orchestra played for all dances and songs. As an entr’acte, Castle Masters and Beulah Burmeister sang “I never Had a Mammy.” Now for the minstrel. The curtains opened on fifty black-faced Seniors. The dignified interlocutor, Mr. R. C. Wulliman, said: “Ladies and Gentlemen, be seated.” The gentlemen were very stylishly dressed in evening attire with red bow neckties and white gloves. The ladies all wore large picture hats and very colorful and fashionable dresses. Solos and duets were performed by the following people: Renos Parrish, Thelbert Kinney, Sibyl Baker, Frances Du Vail, Lawrence Taylor, Marjorie Davis, Janet Overturf, Beulah Burmeister, Paul Matthews, Frieda Watson, Mildred Rice, Joe Cain, and Walter Schafer. Marie Kevil and Glenn Utterback delivered stump speeches. As a climax the endmen very startinglv brought a man from London right to the stage by wire. The whole production began with a whoop and ended up with a bang!

The dance music was furnished by the “peppy” Nightingale orchestra. The floor was in excellent condition and the old gold and black-decorations gave a very appropriate atmosphere for a T Club dance. During the evening a box of candy was raffled off, which was won by our new football captain, Montelle Hackett, and Elizabeth Hall. There were about forty couples present, who reported a wonderful time and expressed their wishes that the T Club would give another such dance in the future. T. J. W., ’28. Page eighty-five OUH JANITORS I know that a school could not have two better janitors than we have. Mr. Bellas and Mr. Haines (or Scott and Harry as we call them) are always ready to do anything they can to help us. and those “anythings” aren’t few. When we spill a bottle of ink on the floor, the first thing we say is “Where’s Scott.” or “Where’s Harry,” and then we hunt them up and they come and clean up the mess without a complaint. Mornings or evenings, when the doors are locked, it is always “Oh, Scott, let me in the English room; 1 forgot my book,” or “Oh Harry. I lost my gloves. Have you seen them?”; and then they let us in to get our books or help us find our gloves. Our janitors are also always willing to come at night and open the building when we are practicing for a play. All of us like them because they are so good-natured, and I’m sure we are a trial to a good nature. So here’s three cheers for Harry and Scott.
