Z (JSw The senior class of 19 1 started as a group of hard-working Doys and girls in the lower department of the great organization of the Tuscola Community High School. The chances for advancement were good,for you might go from the freshman to the senior department. The wages were low but the experience will pay worthwhile dividends in future years. Included is a liberal three months' vacation each year. Early in September, 1937. we came to work in a '37 Ford bus. Martha Van Doren was the driver; Calvin Colwell was assistant driver; Naomi 5terlin0 collected the fares; and John Gallagher conferred with the councils from the other buses. Mr. Cox and Mr. Wulliman were the managers of the freshman department. After our promotion to the sophomore department, Harold Pflum drove us to work in a '3 ? model Chevrolet. The remaining members of the bus crew were John Stabler, 3ill Kuber, and John Gallagher; and Miss Frantz and Mr. Cox mapped our tour. We became more in- terested in school activities, and we were well represented in the various cluos. After long weeks of strenuous effort, we were amply rewarded with promotion to the junior department. The first day of our new job was exciting,for the weather was bad. However we arrived safely in a '39 Dodge with Bill Huber's cartful drivin0 and tr.e help of 3ill Overturf and Marjorie Downing. Our junior advisers were Miss Howard and Mr. Kish. We discovered a talent for acting among some of our classmates, and so we produced a play for the benefit of our class. Some of the outstanding athletes on the undefeated championship team of the Okaw Valley were juniors. Wesley Hilligoss and Martha Van Doren were taken into the National Honor Society. The annual reception for the seniors, who had completed their trip through high school, was planned around the theme of a circus. We started our senior year out right by getting to work on time, and it was no wonder for Judson McGuire was driving a new Greyhound. He was assisted by Charlene Flanagan, Martha Van Doren, and Wesley Hilligoss. Miss Leak and Miss Magnusson, our new helpers for this year, were on hand to greet us. We seniors were in man, clubs and held several important offices: Charlene Flanagan was editor-in-chief of the Old Gold and Black Echoes;Helen Flesor, pi'esident of the Girl Scouts; Marjorie Downing, president of the Thespians; and Bill Overturf, president of the Debate Club.Martha Van Doren had twice one to National Solo Contest as oboe soloist. Our football team again went undefeated and was one of the highest scoring teams in the state. Also, 3ill Huber was named end on the All-State football squad. In basketball, the team won the Okaw Valley Tournament for the second consecutive time. The remaining stops on our bus trip were the senior class play and the junior-senior reception. Our trip through high school was a lot of fun as well as work, and we will appreciate still more in later years the value of the education which we have received.

Cyril Cooch Date Cooch ttecm Coslet Edith Cox Here I am standing; at McNeill's, waiting for my bus. My vacation starts to-day, and I have planned to visit Springfield, Chicago, and New York. It’s only nine o'clock and I have a full hour before my bus is due. Guess I'll amble over to Walgreen's and spat-the-raft with Cyril Cooch, who now manages the store.lt seems ages since we were in high school together, but in reality it's only been ten years, While talking over old times,who should walk in but Leona Garrett. She still has her blond,wavy hair, and Cyril tells me she is the high school office girl. I remember now that she did help Frances Martin a great deal when we were seniors. We drew Leona into the conversation and immediately she brought up the fact that,with Wesley Hilligoss as coach, the Tuscola athletic teams were still holding their own in the Okaw by taking the Conference title in botn football ahd basketball and by winning the Okaw Tournament. They're hoping to keep up the good work and gradually advance to the state. I added my congratulations and said that I sincerely hoped they would realize their ambitions. I glanced at my watcn and noted it was almost ten. Cyril and Leona wished me a nice trip,and with their farewells I rushed back to McNeill's just in time to see my bus pulling up. As I started aboard, I nearly dropped my ba s and fell when I saw that none otper than Willis Jinn was the driver.We chatted for a few minutes before it was time to leave, and Willis told me that Bill Navel owned the bus line. No sooner had I settled down than I was asked to move. I glanced up and nearly swallowed my heart because it was Betty Badcliff in a nurse's uniform. I hastily asked her to sit down and join me. She had a terrible time answering the questions I fired at her,but I learned that she had studied nursing in Champaign and was on her way to Springfield to look after a wealthy elderly lady. We spent the rest of tne trip recalling incidents that happened when we were in high school and had a hilarious time doing so. It didn't seem long before we had arrived at our destination, and as we separated, I wished Betty all the luck in the world and hoped we would meet again before I left Springfield. , I hailed a taxi and stepped back in surprise as I discovered the driver to ce Dale Smith, I asked him to take me to the best hotel in town. He looked at me in surprise and said, Don't you know wr.ere that is? Naturally I didn't and said so. He then explained to me that John Cruzan owned and operated the Oloza De Luxe where the Ultra-Ultra stayed. That evening I attended the inaugural ball for 3ill Overturf, who had just been elected governor. Bill hasn't changed a bit., and he invited me to dinner the next evening. He told me that two of my old schoolmates would be present. I asked who and was told that Senators Harold Pflum and Charles Taylor were in Springfield, and the dinner was to be in their honor. I was thrilled to death and accepted at once. What Bill didn't tell me was that Ted George would be there photographing the party for Life Magazine,.

Randolph talk to Ted but was told that he was an excellent photographer and had been on the Life staff for five years. The next morning I overheard two young women discussing a Madame La Ponga.Tnen I investigated I found she was a seeress,whose predictions were remarkably true. I made an appointment the following evening. I was admitted to a beautifully decorated waiting room. A young lady noticed I was admiring the room, and informed me that the noted interior decorator, Ruth Stumeier, had planned it. The room was lovely and I wisned I could have seen Ruth, but she was busy in Hollywood so—I was jerked from my thoughts by a secretary's voice: Madame is ready for you. I arose and walked toward the next room. Madame La Ponga greeted me and asked me to be seated. The voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. as we talked I recognized it and was astounded to learn that it was Maxine Leonard. I'm afraid we forgot the time as we talked of high school days. Finally I left,and as I walked down the street,I was attracted by a large poster of chorus girls in front of the Globe Theater. Upon close observation I discovered one to be Connie Tate. Her hair had grown shoulder length, but aside from that she hadn't changed much. I made a mental note to go to the theater that night to see if I couldn't see Connie personally. A few blocks down the street I noticed a large window display of stuffed animals. They were arranged in life-like surroundings, and I found it difficult to believe they were actually stuffed. In one corner there was a large cardboard placard whicn read: By Archie Armstrong-—Taxidermist. ! was too much surprised to utter more than an inconspicuous oh . Upon inquiry I learned that Archie had studied this work for a number of years and was rewarded by obtaining a contract to give an exhibition at several large cities in England. He was leaving at eight for London. Recovering from the surprise I went to my hotel and tried to relax. However I found it rather hard, as school memories rusned into my mind. I must have dozed off, for the next thing I remembered was someone shouting Extra .' Extra !' I jumped up with a start and rang for a bell boy; he appeared, and I asked him to get me an evening paper. When he returned, I settled down to glance at the headlines: Jack McXown visits Springfield. It seems that Jack was left some money years ago and had founded the Learned College here in Springfield. The buildings were completed now and the opening ceremony was to be held the next evening. I was sorry to miss it, but I had to catch the ten bus the next morning for Chicago . After returning from the theater that evening I retired and dropped off to sleep at once. The next morning as I was on my way to the bus station I was hailed from a doorway,and who should come out but Francis barters .' He told me he was in Springfield making preparations for his State Fair livestock exhibit. He walked with DaVID RICE: Atwood 1,2; F.F.a. 1,2,3; Track 1; rootball 2; Basket- ball 1,2,3; Jtmior Class Play; Student Council 2; Vice-Pres.2; T.C.H.S. 3,1+; 7.1.a. 3,4; Footo ll 4; Basketball 4; Boy Scouts 3,4; .That a Life 4.

I picked a seat close to the window and settled down to read the latest edition of Mademoiselle. As I turned the pages I stopped abruptly and read an article by Helen Flesor, who is Marshall Field's dress buyer for young women. She gave several helpful hints and mentioned she was planning to set up an exclusive shop of her own. I began to wonder how soon we would be pulling into Chicago. Not for another hour anyway, so I turned on my portable radio to hear an announcer say, Now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring to you Jimmy Long's orchestra in 'Too Blue'. The vocal will be sung by that sweet singer of songs, Ellen Bellot. Ellen was grand. Her voice fitted perfectly with the orchestra,and I wished I could see her. I didn't suppose she had changed much. It seemed as if my trip was crowded with high school memories. I wondered if I would see any more of my classmates while on my vacation. I certainly hoped so. My attention was drawn back to the radio with the announcement: This is .fait Fifer speaking, folks, bringing to you news of the week. Thursday evening Mr. Lowell Harris,the soap millionaire, passed away leaving his immense fortune to his wife, the former Margaret Milligan. Mrs. Harris announced yesterday that she would donate a million dollars to be used in erecting an orphans' home. The home is to be finished not later than one year after the building is started. Mrs. Harris also announced that Margaret Stenger, the noted health adviser, would be contracted as P. . instructor for the children......FlashJ Nick Eastin, the world's heavyweight champion for six years, will fight in his final bout before retiring. It is rumored that Nick's engagement to Miss Jean York of Chicago will be announced at a large reception immediately following the fignt. Miss York is secretary to Judy Garland of the cinema.....FlashI Jack Mahin, Hollywood producer will start pro- duction next week on Flying Home � The cast has been chosen but as yet hasn't been announced—the nation waits anxiously for the picture, since it deals with the past European ifarj As I snapped off the radio,the bus drew to a stop and I gathered up ay' things. I stepped down from the bus just as a young woman started to get on. I recognized her As Doloras Duncan, the clown of our graduation class. Tie stopped to talk and Dune told me she had studied for the ministry here in Chicago and was going to Lc-wistown, Michigan, to see a young man about missionary work in Africa. She has cnanged a great deal, not only in personal views but also she has lost about twenty-five pounds. Another old schoolmate, Delores Barnes, had asked me to stay with her during my vacation. She didn't meet me at the bus, however , so I left my bags with the doorman and went on down to Marshall Field's, where she is head of the Chinese room. He arranged to have dinner at the Blackkawk. as we entered that evening I recognized the doorman as Bob Smith. It was against the rules for him to converse with customers, so Delores and I went on in and had a wonderful crab dinner. On the way home we heard an ambulance siren and ordered the taxi driver to follow it. We arrived at the scene of the accident in time for me to stop Johnnie Stabler driving uwaj- in the ambulance. I didn't get to talk to him, but De De told me he was an interne at the Mercy Hospital. He had six more months to go and was then planning to start up private practice in Gary, Indiana. iffe went home and got ready to go to the Chicago Symphony Concert where Martha Van Doren was conductor of her all-girl orchestra. Featured soloist was Mary Frances Cranford. The concert was excellent. T.ie next afternoon, I started out to inBM studio to tet some passes for Judson McGuire's program that evening. «Judson”was comedian on a program advertising Letna Donahoo's Reducing Pills. Also with his show was Joyce Eackett.who is called the Chatter-box of the Aiilanes. I passed one of the Smith's 1G stores on the way and remembered I needed some stationery. I stopped in and met Warren Smith, who owned an entire chain. I started on to the studio and noticed a familiar figure walking in front of me. It was Dorothy Pilcher. She was on her way to her large Beauty Shop, employing twelve assistants. It was getting late so I hurried on. I reached the studio and was ushered to the office by La Vone Curry. She told me Edith Cox was an usher on the next floor. As I entered the office I was greeted by name, and turned to see Mary Louise Fullerton sitting behind tne reception desk. Marcella Trostle was employed as typist and had letters stacked three feet deep,so I talked with her a few minutes, got my passes and left the studio. Walking home I bumped into Thomas Shaw, who said he now owned a carnival playing at Gary, Indiana. I could hardly picture easygoing Thomas a side show barker. Judson's program that night was all that we expected. The next morning I left for New York and arrived about noon. After checking in at a hotel, I went to the restaurant. As I sat down at tne table, two men came over to me: Calvin Colwell and 3ill Huber, x asked them to join me for lunch. Calvin said he was test pilot cit Wright jiela in Dayton, Ohio. He was now on his vacation with ill, who was coaching at Notre Dame. xixter lunch I tried to take a nap but was awakened by the telephone ringing.lt was Dave Rice, who managed the escort service in New York. He asked me to visit Club 3y with him that night, .he evening turned out to be lovely and we started off in high spirits. On arriving at the club, Dave told me Leon Rowland owned it, and that I would be surprised to learn that Roxa Dearnbarger •as nat-check girl. After that I was too excited to eat. As we started to leave, three couples passed by and spoke: Estella Mae Randolph, Jane Riley, and Geneva Woolverton. The girls told me they were on their vacations, too, and were going to have a grand time. They told me Jane was a writer, Geneva a book-store owner, and Estella Mae owner of a small inn just outside of Miami. They hurried on and I went home to SLEEP. The next morning I received a telegram from Marjorie Downing saying she was arriving on the 10:50 plane. I hurried to meet her. Marjorie, as you know,is the highest paid actress in Hollywood today. At the airport, I was surprised to find that Jean Coslet was her private secretary and Charlotte Helm her personal maid. She also told me that an old friend of mine,Virginia Hartman,was working as script girl at the MGM Studios. We attended the opening of Marjorie's new picture Across the Lines that night at Dale Cooch5s Lee Vone Theater . Many of my old school friends were there. I saw Naomi Sterling, the Metropolitan Opera Star, with her husband, Clarence farters. They had just returned from their honeymoon in Carolina and certainly looked happy. With Naomi was Kathryn Ellis and a very attractive escort. Kate told me she was head dance instructor at the Arthur Murray Studios here in New York.as we stood there talking, a young man walked up and asked us if we remembered him. It was Carl Stevens, the track star. I had read in the paper only yesterday that he had set a new record at Madison Square Garden the night before. Marjorie's picture was a success and I read the notice next morning in the New York Times. Columnist Charlene Flanagan sang its praises to the sky. I went ahead to read Charlene’s column in which she gave out all the latest gossip on Broadway and Hollywood stars. Turning through the pages I picked out the name Frances Teeters, court reporter. I could believe it because Fanny was a wizard at shorthand in high school. I knew she had gone on to school at Champaign and had worked herself up to a court reporter for the New York Federal Court. As I sat day dreaming I knew this had been a splendid vacation and that I would always remember it.but I had to pack and get back to work. I wonder if I 'll ever get to see my old friends again. Perhaps in another ten years everytr.ing will be entirely different. Who knowsr??????????????

It says here that the freshmen occupy the top floor. But tell me, what are all those large posters in the windows? You say they were the officers and advisers. But how did they get them taken? Well of all things I I never heard of fresnmen being so energetic as to get together and have their officej-'s pictures taken their first „;eai in high school. You say they couldn't have done it if there hadn’t been so many of them—seventy altogether? Now that we are closer I can see that one of the posters has the title of president printed across the top of it very plainly. It looks like Lowell Lewis from here,and in the next window is the vice-president Annabelle McGuire.I wonder if she could be Judson's sister. I noticed he is on this bus also. Oh my goodness J We nave almost passed the third picture. It is of Wanda Meyer, who was secretary-ti'easurer of the freshman class; then next to her is posted Helen Hilligoss, student council representative. Driver, do you have to drive so fast? I can't see who the advisers are,’ but the guide book says they are Miss Deer and liiss Frantz. They are both very excellent advisers for the freshmen. Don't you think so too. Driver? This seems to be all we can see from here, so you may speed on to another building. 'zfT DRM r NT L Ladies and gentlemen: we are in the class history building on the campus of Tuscola Community High school. He are going up to the second floor to see the pictures of the sophomores of I9U1. Everyone crowd around close now, and please walx on your own feet. As I show . ou the pictures, I want you to notice the change in the styles of clothes. The picture here to my left is of 3urlin Cbrecht. He was the president of the sophomore class and, I presume, was very popular among the fairer sex. Here is a picture of Clarence Meyer, the muscle man of the class, who was called Charley for short. He was vice-president and also played plenty of football. Here to my right is Dorothy Williams, secretary-treasurer of that same sophomore class and also one of its outstanding students. That picture next to the teachers' pictures is Helen June Thomas. She was student council representative and made a special effort to see tnat the sophomores received all they were entitled to. Here's a good picture of Harry Archibald. Although he has on a basketball suit in this picture, he also played footoall. His nickname is Arch; , and he was some jitterbug- -his dignified looking, curly-haired gentleman here is air. I.ee Dulgar. He and the Latin teacher, Miss Sluss made up the advisory staff. Although the sophomores needed little advising, I'm sure they found them helpful. It is now twelve o'clock, ladies and gentlemen; and the next hour may oe spent satisfyin0 your appetite. So everyone get on the bus and we'll be off for town. ledfir Woods After mounting one flight of stairs to the second floor of the Class History Building,we paused to rest a bit before wandering through the great halls. Our guide book tells us that in the fall of 193g� fifty-three boys and girls came into our dignified building and announced that they were our newest freshman class. They chose as their leaders such capable students as Keith Tingley , Robert and Ralph Edwards, and Edwin Sauer. We read further that in their sophomore year the class nad grown to sixty-seven members. Jim Wulliman was elected president, and Robert Edwards, vice-president. Leona Timmons was student council representative and Carl Martin served as class treasurer. At this point we ceased reading and proceeded to look around the second floor gallery. We came upon a stage set with a scene from the junior class play That Crazy Smith Family. This fine presentation was directed by our adviser, Miss Frances Howard, who left us at the end of the first semester to teach in Pekin. She was replaced by Miss Roberta McAllister. Mr. Kish was the other junior class adviser. Along the sides of the room were pictures of the class members. The four large pictures at the end of the room were the class officers: Dan Ponder, president;Keith Tingley, vice president; Carl Martin, treasurer; and Jim Osborne, student council representative. Having completed our tour through the Class History Building, we returned to our bus and continued on our way. Fitc.ShMKN CLaSS Top Row—P. Smith, V. Garrett, R. Davies, J. Homine, G. Stans'oury, R.

It was a fine September night, and both teams seemed pretty evenly matched. The first half ended with Tuscola on the long end of a 6-0 count; but in the second half a steady stream of reserves from the Champaign bench wore the Warriors down, and Champaign m§4e three touchdowns while the Warriors failed to score. The game ended 20-6. Tuscola’s next stop was at Cerro Gordo. It was oae of those sultry afternoons when you would like to be under a shade tree with a big keg of ice water. Tuscola, with a different lineup than in the Champaign game, went in against the Broncos. In a snort while they had a comfortable margin which allowed Coach Al Kish to substitute freely in the latter part of the game. The final score was 35“0« Tuscola took to the field September 28 to play Sullivan. This was their first conference game of the ’40 season. Led by quarterback Wes Killigoss, who scored 28 points during the afternoon, Tuscola crushed Sullivan under a Ug-0 score The next team to face Tuscola was Sement a hard-fighting and hard-charging little team; but to repeat an old story, the victory fell also to the Warriors’ attack with a 57“0 count. Thscola beat Newman 56 -0 in a ncn-conference game. The Newman team, led by Ingrura, advanced to the Tuscola 3( yar i Una on the kick-'off,bo.t was stopped cold by Tuscola’s charging line, and from then on it was TCLscola’s game all the way to the final gun. The next stop was at Villa Grove’s door. The first team piled up a fine score during the first quarter, and the rest of the game was a second team game until the last quarter when the varsity returned to the field. The second team managed to score several times, and when added to the points the first squad scored, the total was 59-0 in Tuscola’s favor. Led by the Eearn boys, Oakland came to the Warriors’ stamping grounds to hare a try at beating Al Kish’s high-scoring machine, but it was no use. Tuscola was tops all of the way with Gross passing, Huber and Colwell receiving, and Osborne and Hilligoss skirting the ends. It was over before it really began. The final score was 50-0. On armistice Day Tuscola invaded the Monticello gridiron amid flurries of snow and a penetrating southwest wind. The Warriors were held in check more by the weather than by the Sages. The Tuscola lads were held to 18 points while the Sages failed to cross the Tuscola goal line. Playing before one of the largest crowds in the history of tee Okaw Valley, Huber, Cross, Hilligoss, Colwell, and Osborne starred against the highly-voted Areola machine 37 7 Thanksgiving Day.This game was to be the battle of tne year, but Al Kish's powerful eleven took charge from the kickoff and were never in trouble the remainder of the g!me. This game wound up a most successful season with the '.Varriors sharing the Okaw Champior.snip with Newman, whom incidentally tne;. had beaten 57-0 during the year in a non-conference battle.

HriwK PuW WrjWvi We had had a lovely day of sightseeing, and as evening drew near, we approached the Slack Hawk Indian Reservation. We were just in time to witness a real Indian pow-wow. The braves, dressed in full Indian regalia, were seated on the ground around a large campfire. We soon learned that their pow-wows were held every full moon to discuss the problems that arose in their tribe. As we were leaving the reservation we began to think about how our own Student Council was really like the Indian pow-wows, and how it helped to better our school by discussing our problems. During the year the Student Council sponsored programs which were presented in the assembly each week by different organizations. Cn various occasions the ministers of the several churches made short addresses. Other programs were: movies of football and basketball games, and otner school activities; special programs for Lincoln's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Armistice Day, ana Thanksgiving; a Coco-Cola film, the T Club initiation, a program by the band (with a number of alumni playing), a program by the Press Club, and a Christmas play. Two of the most outstanding assemblies were the ones presented by the Boy and Girl Scouts. The 3oy Scouts presented a clever mellerdramer in pantomime of a Spanish lord and his lady love. The narrator read the story while different boys portrayed the characters as they came in. Boys with signs saying hours , shadows , the sun , etc. helped to change the time and scene. The Girl Scouts gave a short skit of a school room. The pupils were very unruly and gave clever answers to questions asked by the teacher. They recited Mother Goof Rhymes , chewed gum, and came in late. Like the boys skit, it kept everyone laughing. The Council also sponsored dances after many of the basketball games. The officers for the year were as follows: Bill Huber, pres- ident; Judson McGuire, vice-president; and Prances Teeters, secretary. 3L f i I_C R5 ARK On October IX, the whole high school body and the alumni became passengers for a round-trip journey celebrating the Tuscola Homecoming. At 1:00 p. m. sharp, a group of students and their floats, preceded by the band, took off on a sight-seeing tour of Tuscola including the main streets. A big Okaw Valley graveyard brought the prize to the sophomores. The procession finally came to a stop at the T.C.H.S. football field where the participants enjoyed a football game with Newman in the afternoon. At 9:30 in the evening the old bus, loaded down with couples eager to dance, pulled up at the gym door. During intermission of the dance, Bill Huber and Charlene Flanagan were crowned king and queen of the Homecoming. When 12 o’clock rolled around,dancing stopped and all persons were ready to shed their shoes for a good night of rest. The curtains were pulled on a full and perfect day when everyone had had an enjoyable time. ij ” j Q i— M 1 j—t Wearing short skirts and overalls, many students came out to the Sadie Hawkins Day dance, sponsored by the junior class. The gym was appropriately decorated to represent Dogpatch, with large murals on the east wall designed by Martna Hanson and Mrs. Kish. Dancers were to come dressed as Lil’ Abner and Daisy Mae of the famous comic strip. During a short intermission of the dance, the most typical Lil Abner and Daisy Mae were selected. Charles Gross and Frances Wells won the prizes. Souvenirs and refreshments added to everyone’s enjoyment. The dance was reported as a hilarious success with a laugh for every minute spent there. Hollywood, Hollywood the bus driver called out, The city of the .Vorld's Premiere. I picked up m.v camera and set out immediately to take a few pictures as my st;y would be short. I started down Hollywood Boulevard, :md after walking a few blocks, I noticed a sign which read: Camera Club Fans. I decided to go in and see what it w: s all aoout, for I was very much interested in camera work. Upon entering I learned that the following people held offices in the club: Dick Parker, president; Jim .Vulliman, vice president; Kern Lake, secretary-treasurer. Miss Deer and Mr. flulliman were the club sponsors. Many types of Ccameras were on display. Dick Parker and Miss Deer had complete sets of equipment for taking and developing pictures;and Mr.ffulliman and his son Jim have made an enlarger which gives almost professional results. Many pictures have been taken and developed by the members of the club,and Mr..fullirmm nas some very interesting pictures of the high school classes and the fun we used to have together. After spending the day in the club hearing Lights, Action, and Camera, I reluctantly leit, got on the bus,and b de farewell to Hollywood. STUDENT COUNCIL ?op Row—3. Obrecht, B. Collins, J.

Coslet □ mrhh T I ML in The bus was stopping at Omaha. As I stepped off I hoard that old familiar cry. ffuxtra! WuxtraJ Quintriplets Born .' R-E-A-D A-L-L a-B-O-U-T I-T. Maybe some people could pass that up, but somehow I was persuaded by that cry to buy a paper. After looking it over, it sort of took me back to the best years of my life,when I went to school at the deaxest of all Alma Maters,T.C- K.S. Another bus was leaving for the East. It would pass within a short distance of Tuscola, but that wasn't what was on my mind. Somehow as I read, I was reminded how cur high school paper was top-notch among papers when I was going to school during the crisis year, Ul. Time passes more quickly as you grow older, because it seems like only a few days ago that we were publishing the Old Gold and Black Echoes.Charlene Elanagan was editor-in-chief, and her assistant was Bob Childers. Included in their many helpers were: the unforgettable Keith Ting-ley as business manager, and his assistant, John King; Martha Hanson, secretary-treasurer and writer pf the gym column’.Ph llis Kre-sin who kept the scrap book; and John Stabler, our sports editor. The features were handled by Dorothy Pilcher, Kathryn Ellis and Georgiana Feeler. Of course, no paper could get along without proof-readers. Jack McKovna and Margaret Stenger handled that job capably. I also recall that Frances Teeters and Kathryn Ellis were our typists. I remember how the new members: Calvin Colwell, Lesley Hilli-goss, Jim Flanagan, Mary Joan Huber, Evelyn liaisons, Boboy Weaver, Lee Allen, Jim Seaney, Leona Timmons, and Lowell Lewis were glad when the initiation was over find they could actually get to work. I could now hear the paper boy's cry growing fainter and fainter as he moved away; and as I returned to the bus, I couldn't help wishing, just a little, to be back in Tuscola High. Elho lrnydn The bus stops and we take on new passengers: George Ann Muir, Patricia Kelly, Marjorie Moody, Dan Ponder, Dick Parker, and Bob Collins. At Baldwin's Cafe we have our initiation breakfast, somewnat resembling a political convention. The initiates are dressed up as President Roosevelt, Mr. .Yillkie, Mr. Green, Mr. Hershey, Dr. Gallup, and Mr. John $. Public. Then we start on another year of debating under the capable leadership of our adviser, Mrs. Flack. Cur president, Bill Overturf, acts as the presiding cnairman. The decaters for the first debate are Martha 3undy and Jim Wullixan on the affirmative, and Frances T- eters and Bob Childers on tne negative. The debate question is: Resolved, tnat the United States should ,0ive aid to Gr- at Britain. The critic judge,Ralpn Edwards, gives the decision to the negative. The bus rolls on—next stop Camargo. There we are oilled to deoate for the Roman's Club. The teams are: affirmative, Dan Ponder and Martha Bundy; and negative,.v.ar„orie Mood; and Frances Teeters. The alternates for this debate are Jim 4ulliman and 3ob Childers for tne affirmative team, and George Ann Muir and Ralph Edwards for the negative team. Tnen suddenly we hear the cry: Bus He tuKe o-.r seats ana the bus rolls on. leaving in five minutes. T dotville The sound of drum and bugle corps brought me to the window of my suite in the Stevens Hotel. Looking down into the boulevard, I saw an exciting jtnrade passing beneath, led oy twelve drum majorettes .Following them was a seventy-piece band decked out in bright uniforms. as I watched, I was reminded of my experiences in the Tuscola High School Band. My last year there, l HO-Ul.was a very interesting one. There weren't so many members in hign school as there had been in previous years, so the band did not enter the band contest as had been the custom; but four solos went to the district competition. I remembered playing at many basketball and football games and especially Homecoming festivities. The band paraded down Sale Street at tr.e head of a long line of students, floats, and cars which had been decoratec. for the occasion. as the band below me passed on, my recollection oecame fainter ana fainter, or.o soon I found myself back packing my bags for another real trip ahead.

It is not because they cjrn't afford matches, but they derive much more pleasure from the pioneer methoa. The boys are also experts at tying knots. (Undei stand tnese are not the enaearin., kina that tne Justice of tne peace ties). To pay for their camping trip to Spring Mill Park, near Mitchell, Indiana, the ooys with the Girl Scouts put on their . nnuul Carnival-Dance. Patrol leaders Dan Ponder, Bob O'i'eil, Jim -fulli-mtUi, and Pay Lee Allen are busy getting their respective regiments ready lor the trip. Mr. rt’ulliman, local Scout Master, will supervise and will be assisted by the Junior Scout Masters, 3ill Over-turf {aid Ted eorge. Tnis weeK of camping, eagerly anticipatea by • 11 the boys, will conclude tne year's activities. ScnMPTDWN The bus pulled to a stop in front of the main drug store of a Midwestern town. I knew I had several hours' ride ahead of me so I got off to buy a magazine. as I approached the magazine corner I noticed a poster picturing a group of girls and their leader ready to leave fcr Washington on a Girl Scout Jmboree.lt brought back memories of the good old days when I had been a Girl Scout, and as I got tack on the bus the past became as vivid to me as the car lights coming toward us. With each bright reflection I could see our group in its many activities.George Ann Muir's face flashed before me ns real as anything. George Ann planned our programs for us. !e gave a dance which was quite a success, and wno could forget our cookie sale?—tnose butter and chocolate cookies with our Girl Scout emblem on each one. The bus is on its way now, and as we pass the luncn wagon at the edge of town, I read the big letters C-H-I-L-I. They revived the chili supper we had given. I can still see Dolores Dunc;m straining tomatoes and Pat Smith cutting pie. As we left town and were well on our way, we passed a small country scnool and I noticea some children out in the yard playing and singing. The singinb remindec me of our group singing. I can see Georgiana Feeler leading the singing. Mary Flesor, wno was the secretary-treasurer; Miss Vannier, our leader; and Helen Flesor, whom the girls had elected president, stood with ner. Just as I was about to thumb through my magazine I recalled the carnival the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts had together, and how could I ever forget our annual camping sprees? fell—tne bus is really making time,and now I've found a story to read so I'll leave my memories for a rainy day. Bouncing- xJunctidn It was in the fall of lljUc tnat I boarded the Dixie Special for a sig..t-seeing cruise through the Illinois corn belt. After n uneventiul hour, I happened to notice a bill board with a familiar advertisement on it announcing r. play day to be given by the of Tuscola. Beneatn tnis notice were the names of the officers: Naomi Sterling, president; Martha Van Doren,vice-president. In the second column were the names of treasurer, Delorns Duncan; Dv.lores Barnes, singing leaner; and Helen Flesor, student council representative. Farther down txxe route we passed twelve or fifteen groups of girls who were, as my fellow passenger told me, hiking to Tuscola to join the activities. The Tuscola girls seemed to be a very bus , group; and my companions added taut they sold candy at games,attended other play days, and orondened their knowledge by listening to talks on manners, healtn, and ways of obtaining jobs, given by ACiss Vannier, tr.eir leader, and otner guest speakers. Tne bus has left the nappy group far benind and I un again settling down to routine sigx.t-seeing. BOY SCOUTS Top Row—£. Smith, L. Hettinger, it. Bundy, J. McKown, R. Helm, 3. Huber, E. Feeler, 3.

ROMaNUS INSULa One of the most interesting clubs in school is the Junior Classical Lejigue. Its purpose is to help one understand better, old Rom n ideas and customs. This .veer's officers were: consuls, Marilyn Melody tvnd Jack McKown; Virginia Knoche, aedile; Mary Me Kown, quaester; Mary Taylor, program chairman; and student council representative, Mary Joan Huber. At the meetings, held every other Jednesday, early Roman customs are discussed. Every year two outstanding students from each class of Latin are sent to the District Meet of the Illinois State Latin contest. To be qualified to enter the State Meet one must have placed in the superior or excellent feroup of the district and sectional meets. Tuscola has had several outstanding students who have placed high in past Latin contests. Mary Elizabeth Monger competed in the State Meet at Knox College, Galesburg, where she placed in tne excellent group of the freshman division. Dick Moore, a junior at Knox this year, won a scnolarship tnere from his work in Latin contests tnree years ago. You can't tell us Latin is so dead! INTOF.hn.TION BUREAU The Honor Society is an organization basing its standards of membership on the four principles:scholarsnip, character, leader-snip, and service. Students t iken into this organization are expected to uphold tnese principles and serve as examples for the school. Tne officers for this year have been: president, Martha Van Doren; and secretary-treasurer, Jesley Hilligoss. Coni, oURG Tne Ag. Club is the one which is typical of real country atmosphere. It is carried on for the sole purpose of having a good time find serves its purpose well. The meetings, conducted witn all twenty-seven members perched on tne table tops and roosting on the filing cabinet, are about as rare as millionaires in Ticklin, and about as noisy as a street carnival. Jalter Tifer is president; with his feet comfortably propped up on tne bookcase, he conducts the meeting well. Dan Ponder is secretary-treasurer, and after some researen,finds he can not read the minutes of the Irst meeting because records weren't kept that far back. During the year we sponsored a combination dance and carnival. 7e are now planning the drastic initiation, with which y e treat the fresnmen every year. Palmer Cox is the adviser.

Slaughter 'What a Life1 starring Johnnie Stabler as Henry Aldrich.' the brilliantly lighted sign read. I nad always liked the Henry Aldrich radio program, so I decided to see tne play, as I started to go in the lobby, I noticed the large pictures of all the cast. From the nbluros beneath I learned the play takes place in Principal Bradley's office oi Central nigh School and centers around Johnnie Stabler as the typical outspoken Henry. He tries to sell anything he owns in order to raise two dollars to take his girl, Barbara rearson, portrayed by Martha Craig, to the spring dance. David Face as George Bigelow is Henry's enemy and rival for the affections of Barbara. The pictures of Bill Huber as Mr. HeIson, the assistant principal, and Katnryn nllis, as Miss Snea, the office secretary, with whom Kelson is in love, were as handsome and glamorous as movie stars; but you should have seen the rest of the faculty.' —Calvin w-olwell, as the staff principal,who doesn't understand the problems of young people half so much as does Kelson; Marjorie Downing as Miss Wheeler, the flattery music teacher, and Naomi Sterling as Miss Eggleston, who means business; Virginia Hartman as Miss Johnson, the energetic gym teacher; Margaret Milligan as Miss Pike, always shiveringjand Jack McKown as Mr. Patterson, the fussy teacher, who gets many of the laughs in the play. I recognized Helen Flesor as the stylish mother of Henry, who insists tnat her son go to Princeton, though his real talent is drawing and not winning Phi Beta Kappa keys. Funniest of all were the pictures of Judson McGuire as Ferguson of the Police Department; and Lesley Eilligoss as Veccnitto,whose dialect is supposed to fool even tne natives of Italy. Then there were the pictures of the otner students: Willis Winn, as Bill, who never seems to get any attention roround school; Doloras Duncan as Gertie, desperately trying to sell enough dance tickets to win the box of chocolates; Dolores Barnes as Mary, who is the wrong shade; and Charlotte Helm, Dorothy Pilcher, Connie .ate, Annabelie Wise, Joyce Hackett, Letna Donahoo, Archie Arm— strong, Harold Pflura, Leon Howland, Jack Mahin, and Ted George as additional students. Realizing I might never again have tne opportunity of seeing Su.cn a fine cast, I bought my ticket witn a smile of anticipation, and laughed througn the entire show. I could easily understand why it was breaking records for ;ji extended run in ell the large cities. NE.V YOBX PLaY HOUSE .Veil, there I was on the bus, bound for New York. I was just about to make myself comfortable when I noticed a commotion behind me. Turning arouna 1 saw those talented actors from the junior class of tne Tuscola Community High Scr.ocl. After conversing with tnem awhile they tola me that they were taking their great hit, Thai Crazy Smith Family.11 on tour, and hoped to become successful on the New Yoric stage. The part of Ma Smitn, the boss of the family, is taken by Martha Eundy, and i.er husband Pa Smith, who is a newspaper publisher, is taken by Bob Cnilders. Their sensational football-player son, Tony, is played by Keith Tinsley, wr.o keeps everyone laughing at renearsals as well as when he is before tne footlights. The Smitu's fourteen-year-old daugnter is played by p.ita Bel lot. Pita cayc tuat she now nas tiouble getting people to believe tnat she is really sixteen. Twelve-year-old Buddie, a potential pugilist (amateur ooxer to you) is very ably played by Jack Tudor.Mari-lyn Melody is Ma's plainspoken, sister anu heor,.e Ann Muir is Sally Smitn. Sally has a flair for art, and is very much interested in a Southern ooy, Dick Jones, portrayed by Palph Edwards. The remaining roles:Barbara fleatherby, Tony's home-town sweet-neart; the aosent-mindea Professor Slattery in love with Bella; the ricr. play ooy, Stewart Brandon; and the sophisticatea vamp, Julie t'eston, are respectively handled in a capable manner by Mar-tna Hanson, Ban Ponaer, Lewis Hettinger, ana Marjorie Moody. The play was directed Dy Miss jranees noward, wno deserves congratulations for her fine work. Cai' cnatter had attracted the attention of tne otner passengers, who were sending curious glances our way,so I settled back in my seat to enjoy the scenery. The bus driver says this is Hollywood, and I certainly believe him. Just look at all the theaters.' There's Grauman's Chinese, the one with the footprints of movie stars in front; and across the street is the Egyptian Theater. Why, they're having a nice stage show. All of these plays make me wonder if our Thespian play, The Mummy and the Mumps, could have been a success on the legitimate stage. I can see the sign now, The Mummy and the Mumps, featuring the National Thespian Troupe 180. Would'nt that be wonderful? As you enter the theater you would be handed a program. as you get settled and are waiting for tne curtain to go up you read the program. The cast is the same as that of the Homecoming play. Jack McEown plays tne part of Sir Hector Fish, an English professor, who impersonates tne mummy; Jimmy Winn is Francis Briscoe, a young man who impersonates Sir r.ector. William Laidlow is played by Ted •.j-eorge, who visits his aunt's girl's school; James Slamraon, portrayed by Carl Martin, is the lazy servant of the school. Jim 5ea-ney plays the part of Perkins, the sheriff; and Kathryn Ellis the part of Anna Hampton,who helps solve the mystery and falls in love witx; the professor. Maude Mullin, played by Helen Eilligoss, is an Eastern girl wno falls in love with Francis 3riscoe. Dulcie Duaoie, beautiful but dumb, is portrayed by Evelyn Timmons. Mar- jorie Downing plays the part of Agatha Laidlow, founder of the most exclusive girl's school in New England. Virginia Garrett plays the part of the reporter of the Daily Deliverance. Just as you finish reading the program, the curtain opens and the play oegins. On! Goodness! Haven't I let my mind wander now? Just because I am taking a Dus trip and somehow I ended up thinking about the Thespians. Queer, isn't it? SEN 105. CLaSS PLaY Miss Leak, L. P.owland, H. Pflum, a. Armstrong, 3. Huber, C. Tate E.
