To you, fellow students, teachers, and friends, we present this 1939 U and I with sincere appreciation for the cooperation that you have given us in producing it. We want to express our appreciation particularly to those Freshmen, Sophomores, Iuniors, and Seniors who helped materially with the routine work-Eudora Schnebly, Helen Card, Lesley Wilson, Mary Ann Paton, Barbara Holmes, Marjorie Gallivan, Ruby Pilcher, Ieanne Vawter, Alma Bullock, Dorothy Murphy, Mar- garet Thomas, Mary Margaret Gordon, Elsa Proehl, Richard Stouffer, Lane Varney, Wendel Lehmann, Christ Katsinas, Iohn Schnebly, Gwendolyn Smith, Phyllis Dahlman, and Mary Iohnson. With a sigh, partly of relief and partly of sorrow, we present to you this U and I, hoping that it may help you to enjoy, as we have enjoyed, the material and spiritual benefits of Uni- versity High School.

We, the Seniors of 1939, in sin- cere appreciation of her patient guidance, gratefully dedicate this annual to our patron, instructor, and friend, Mrs. Beryl S. Hess. 1r4l- .-:ll .1-i4l.d4.nLfrA..nin'-A 41 ALA-ll .4 ..4L --V slew' .f -in .'! , 35 ..,,' UNI HIGH The classrooms that we dearly love Hold memories ,for us all. Our lockers stand like sentinels VVithin the dusky hall. Her open door, like open arms, With an enchanted lure Hath bid me come inside again, And welcomed me to her. In the library is the wisdom And the knowledge ofthe great, And there recorded in the books Are the deeds and pranks of Fate. The gargoyles laugh contemptuously From the massive Gothic walls. We note with satisfaction Lovely paintings in our halls. Her light walls, like a lighted torch, Gleam through the starless night And lead us onward, onward still, With a kindly, pleasant light. -Louzke Proehl 4 i XX may E E l 4 i i 1 M- --V--1311 MARY LOU LITTLE BUSINESS MANAGER PAUL JOHNSON PHOTO eovron PRISCILLA FLETCHER SNAPS EDITOR I9 U AND I STAFFW JOHN HUNTER EOITOR'IN-CHIEF BARBARA BURT -CIRCULATION ISABEL CASE ART CO JEANNE DONOVAN LITERARY FRANCES JON ES socI EQYEDYITOR I-IARRIET RODEBUSH CO-MANAGERS MILTON SI-IEDD EDITORS JOAN PARRISI-I CO-EDITORS DONNA WILCOX TYPIST Z: BILL TOMAIQAS SPORTS EDITOR 3 BARBARA BENTON ART ASSISTANT PRISCILLA CCLEY CALENDAR EDITOR ,...:. --- Ama. 4' , CONTENTS , 413: , .

SENIORS 1939 U AND I SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Today the class of '39 stands on the threshold of maturity, united in friendship, perhaps a little sad at the inevitable parting, but, nevertheless, eager for the adven- tures of life ahead. Four years ago this same class consisted of a group of naive Freshmen who were, for the most part, strangers to each other. In the four years which have intervened, a remarkable change has been wrought. The development of the class of '39 might well be compared to the growth of a symphony orchestra from a mere collection of instruments and players into a har- monious whole. Our first year was spent mainly in getting acquainted and in learning to study and to work as a unit. We were taught to subdue the brass section of the orchestra and to concentrate upon quality of tone rather than upon volume. Wendel Lehmann acted as conductor, Mary Lou Little, as concertmaster, Nellie Sturts, as librarian, and Margaret Crandell, as business manager. Miss Bower and Mr. Astell counseled us. The success of our first public appearance, the spring party, proved our ability and showed great promise for the future. The next year, Iohn Hunter was chosen conductor, Barbara Benton, concert- master, David Kraehenbuehl, librarian, and Wendel Lehmann, business manager. Miss Bower and Mr. Alstrom advised us. The orchestra went into full swing early in the year and enjoyed an Gctober picnic. By the time we had produced a successful party in February, we had learned to play more or less in tune. As Iuniors, We reached the upper bracket in the quality and status of our orches- tra. That year, Priscilla Fletcher became conductor, Harriet Rodebush, concert- master, Isabel Case, librarian, and Barbara Burt, business manager. In order to make a paying concern of the symphony society, we named Milton Shedd chairman of the candy sales. Miss Changnon and Miss Kramer counseled the orchestra. We gave a series of successful performances. including the Christmas party, the Iunior play, Drums of Deathg a talent assembly, and the supreme production-the Junior- Senior banquet held at the Urbana Country Club. During our Senior year we have reached a new peak in our efficiency and co- operation. Our brass section has been adequately balanced by the strings. Frances Iones conducted our final efforts, Harry Swartz was concertmaster, Barbara Benton, librarian, and Paul Iohnson, business manager. Mrs. Hess and Miss McHarry have been our guides. Besides the Halloweien party, we presented a play, Tliree-Cornercn' Moon. Next year some of us will enter college to join similar symphonies, While others will go out into the world to form new organizations, but, no matter where We are, we shall always look back upon the fruition of four years of hard work at University High School in the form of our Hnal performances-our annual and our com- mencement.

Beyond-infinite sky, And a green, rutted meadow road climbing To the horizon where the sunbeams lie With shining promise there-a cloud's white wing Touching the hill with shadow-and the shade Creeping along the valley path. The light, Drawn clearer by the gloom, mounts unafraid And lays a shining mantle on the height. Within the doorway stand an eager throng, Suddenly quiet, suddenly hesitant, Uncertain how to go, loath to prolong The going, but held in sudden wonderment At this first glimpse of the ascending way. Their laughter hushed-each heart a little afraid, Secretly, silently-they all delay A moment on the step, looking from shade To shining height and wondering what fate The winding road will bring to them in time. Then slowly, one by one, they separate, Step out upon the road, begin the climb, And looking backward at the friendly place That gave them strength for mounting this long height, They set out on the path with braver pace And travel slowly up into the light. IOAN PARRISH 21 SENIORS 1939 U AND I , Words of the Prophets In the year 2500 A. D. archeologists uncovered the ancient city of Urbana. Found in a large stone edifice, believed to he the University High School, was an ancient manuscript. I read from this document: And it came to pass in the days of Sanford the First and Goodson the Last in the City of Urbana on the banlqs of the River Bone near the Lalqe of Crystal a guileless class was graduated from the U nizfersity Experimental Laboratory lqnown as U niuersity High School. And it was foretold by the class prophets, Bee the Burt, Lou the Little, and Bob the Dexter, that the following should come to pass: Iohn the Hunter doth still get to run things. He is a street car conductor. Robert, son of Edgar, and Margaret, daughter of Crandell, do malqe a go of it on Margaret's farm in Pennsylvania. Bob raiseth bulls, and Margaret raiseth cane and rolling pins. Richard of the Castle, understud y of Robert Taylor, now starreth opposite Mary Elaudow in Twenty Glamour Girls and a Man. If it should come to pass that you should chance to see a bedraggled old woman with long white hair standing patiently outside lllrs. Hagan's door, don't be alarmed. it is only Lou the Little. She still tryeth to balance the accounts of the U and I. Carnzelita the Lowry hath recently performed the miracle of the century-an operation on the upside down brain of David Kraehenbuehl. When lllrs. Everett Herman, nee loan Parrish, heard that Mrs. Lindbergh had married an ace,' Jblrs. Simpson, a lqingg and Mrs. Mussolini, a duce,' she hath replied, I married the dummy. Frances, one of the Iones girls, instructor in the Steal-A-March Academy for Girls, doth conduct a course on How to Get Your Man and Hold Him. Nellie Sturts doth nurse Mrs. Hess, who is now in the U -Ketclz-Em-We-Kiir-Enz I-Iospital for the Mentally Unbalanced. Eudora the Schnebly, women's wrestling champ, did recently appear in Urbana. We wonder where she hath acquired her slqilll Forsalqen in love, Priscilla the Colby, who is-a lqindergarten teacher, hath adopted one of her pupils. Bee the Burt is still trying to sell U and I's. She hath aslqed us to tell you to buy your U and l now and sazfej the price is going up. Francis the Savage did lqnoclq out the heiwyweight champion, loc Louis, after only twenty seconds of fighting. Those sorority teas to which Francis hath been inuited must have helped him after all. Isabel the Case, proudly referred to by her former classmates as Izzy, after twenty years of extensive study at the Sorbonne in Paris, worlqeth cheerily at designing tombstones. Lila Oifermyer is still a musician. She playetlz second hddle to Milton Shedd. Helen the Card, eminent poetess of Bent Neclg, Arizona, hath had published a volume entitled Sonnets on a Cactus. Do you get the point? The great actor, Carl Seligman, hath recently boasted, Wl2en I played Hamlet, 22 + 2'l xf 1 . '4 .- 1 the audience took thirty minutes to leave. Lesley of the clan of Wilson, actress and former classmate of Carl, hath replied, What was the matter with the audience? Was he lame? Robert the Dexter, the famed orator, in making his speech at the dedication of the new stage recently completed at Uni High, beganeth in this way, My dear friends. I won't call you Ladies and Gentlemen. I know you too well for that. Donna, the blond, formerly of Wilcox, be-eth a stand-in for Hedy LaMarr. Harriet Rode-the-Bush hath succeeded Mr. Goodson as Assistant Principal of Uni High. Ethel the Burge doth teach archery at an Indian reservation in Wyoming. Mary Ann, of the house of Paton, doth do wonders with her P. E. pupils at Shatlock-by-the-Woods School. The whole class did swim the Atlantic recently. Harry of Swartz hath just been made Headmaster of Miss Lacy's Finishing School for Girls. This will mean the end of the girls. lane on the Cobb, world-renowned tap-dancer, hath recently danced before Prince Ipple of De Thing, who, after the performance, hath breathlessly remarked, quote Unquote. Paul, son-of-fohn, attorney for the Garage Door Manufacturing Firm, still tryeth to teach leanne A. Donovan to drive. Bob, the Pettit, and Iimmy, the Embry, be featured members in the Midgets' Freak Show. Priscilla, of the house of Fletcher, after impersonating Franklin, the D. Roose- velt, for many years, hath hnally decided to oppose him for the presidency. Eleanor the Burge, hrst woman mayor of Champaign, now completetlz plans for a World's Fair to be held at Champaign next year. Babette the Benton, foremost Parisian designer, createth winter evening wraps. She is employed by the Brookfield Zoo. Anastasia the Katsinas now runneth a boarding house for football players only. Helen the Padgett still liveth for Wednesday and Saturday nights. Marie the Foster still useth the bow and arrow, but she hath given up the target in favor of hearts. Ramon the Scott hath been employed by the Missouri Chamber of Commerce to chase all of the jackrabbits out of the state. The concertmeister in Mr. KauZ7man's Silly Symphony be-eth none other than lean the Barnhart. It hath been announced that Mr. and Mrs. Bill Tomaras-you no doubt remem- ber Carolyn Carlson-will soon celebrate their twelfth wedding anniversary along with the nine little Tomarases. After twenty years of army life, lose the Lowry gaveth up and became an opera star. When he did make his debut at the Metropolitan, the audience did wildly clap their hands-over their ears. And those things which were prophesied in the long ago did come to pass. And the superlative class of 1939 does now rest in pieces. MARY LOU LITTLE BARBARA BURT ROBERT DEXTER 23 SENIORS 'CI-.-n. 1939 U AND I Hatchet Oration Ladies and Gentlemen: The long awaited hour has at last arrived when we, full-Hedgcd Seniors, being of sound and dis- posing mind and memory, present to the budding Seniors, the Iuniors of 1938-39, that little and symbolic implement, renowned in song and saga, the immortal hatchet of University High School. As many of you know, this small but potent weapon was captured from the bloodthirsty tribe of Illini by Mr. San- ford in the year 1791 at the risk of a fate Worse than death, that would have left him heir-less and hairless to a posterity other than his own. U! We realize, of course, that as a class you have very obvious limitations and that it is neither just nor fitting that we should ask you to carry on in the inspired tradition of the Seniors of '39. We think, however, that we have detected a few of the fundamental virtues in your make-up, and we believe that with due cultiva- tion they may be developed to the point where you may in time aspire to the noble role of Seniors, and possibly, through I-Ierculean diligence, become members of the graduating class of 1940. We Seniors have excelled in all lines of endeavor. We have had more than our share of athletic glory and have participated vociferously, if not too nobly, in the fields of music and drama. Our attendance record has been something unequalled in the history of the school. In those rare instances when it was neces- sary for us to be absent from class, our ability to produce excused absences from either Mr. Goodson or Miss Marshall was all but awe inspiring until some of the under classmen, notably the Iuniors, began to believe that we had some sinister influence in the ofhce, as a result of either blackmail or bribery. We have taken part in all activities at Uni High, even to the point of joining the Better Boys, Club, as one member put it, in order to give the less fortunate members the benefit of our superior wisdom, knowledge, and culture, although some people have been led to believe-erroneously, of course-that we joined because of the free food. There is a side to this ceremony which reminds us of the old Indian custom of burying the hatchet as a sign that peace had been made between warring tribes. So be it now. Throughout the year let this hatchet lie buried deep in the ground, typifying mutual friendship and cooperation. The ancient symbol of battle is dis- interred annually at this time, presented to the new Senior class, and again buried promptly and deeply, as evidence that we have abandoned the ways of the cave man and the barbarian. With the seniority about to be yours, it is imperative that you work generously and without stint in your many and varied activities. You will be disappointed in what you attempt in this, your most important year, unless you meet your tasks in a spirit of harmony and common understanding. PAUL S. IOHNSON 24 'YW' - mlllflii - unior Response On behalf of the present Iunior class, l gratefully accept this hatchet, the very symbol of power and authority, which the retiring Senior class has tried most nobly to exercise. Hatchets have made men great. Although Paul does not seem to have travelled far on the way to greatness, he, the excel- lent historian that he is, knows the very good examples which I shall cite. There was George Washington, whom a certain Senior called the cherry-treefcutter-downerf' Also there was the Nation's preserver, Abe Lincoln, who sometimes used a hatchet for splitting very small rails. This little hatchet is perhaps more battle-scarred than either the Washington or the Lincoln hatchet, having endured eighteen long years in the tradition of this mighty school. Realizing that it is a fondly cherished and a dearly loved instrument, and that in time it may hold third place among hatchets, the class of '40 will do its best to guard it safely. There is no doubt in anyone's rnind that the class of '39 has been an aggressive group. They placed four men on the running team, the running team, by the way, is manned only by those students who have become most proficient in escaping study halls. These Seniors always managed to win the race to Mr. Goodson's office for such coveted prizes as tardy slips and unexcused absences. Never a more mercenary class has entered these portals. Many a student or teacher has walked a mile out of his way to avoid a pesky ticket or annual-selling Senior. Their feats of ticket-selling are examples for future classes to follow. If this little hatchet could speak, perhaps it could teach us much. Thinking of the past, it would probably make a sour face and try to forget unpleasant memories. If in a particularly agreeable mood, the hatchet might smile at the thought of the class of '39. However, when the hatchet turns its mind to the future, it will experi- ence a feeling of great elationg for we of the class of ,40 are about to become Seniors. With all modesty, we can say that the class of '40 will undoubtedly attain great heights. We have ambition, we have knowledge, we have three years, experienceg and, above all, we have that rare quality of mental proficiency wherein the class of '40 so far excels its predecessors. As Seniors, we of the class of 1940 of University High School will endeavor to right the boats left overturned in a sea of helplessness by the retiring class. Such evils as apple-polishing, cutting classes, and talking aloud in class, will be stopped- or at least performed in a more satisfactory manner. We will do all that could be asked of us-our best! JOHN SCHNEBLY 25 SENIORS 1939 U AND I Welcome i The Seniors of 1939 are now standing on a mountain top. Four years ago we stood at the base of this peak and looked up, seeing as our goal graduation from high school. We ascended the peak as a group, one helping the other when the trail became difficult. The way was hard, but with this im- portant goal ahead of us, we clung tenaciously to our climbing. Even though we all traveled the same route, we noticed many different things along the way. According to our individual in- terests we paid particular attention to the financing of the trip, the engineering aspect, and the natural phenomena. we encountered many obstacles-rock piles, glaciers, snow drifts, blizzards, mountain streams-each one symbolic of some problem we met and solved during our four years in high school. Sometimes we crossed grassy meadows where we momentarily forgot our purpose and were tempted to sit down. More often, as we neared the summit, we encountered blizzards which, striking us full in the face with their stinging pellets, threatened to drive us back. But with our destination in view, we fought on, and tonight we have attained that goal. Now that we have finished this conquest, we view the surrounding country. Somewhat to our surprise, we find that even at this high altitude we still must look up to the other peaks. We now realize the little foot-hill that we have ascended has been merely preparation for the more hazardous climbs ahead. There are several peaks that we must climb together. One of them is a problem of immediate importance. The graduates of University High School, as a whole, have established extremely fine records. We, as a class, shall not meet together in a body again, but wherever we are, we must be and will be united in one common purpose, namely, to uphold the standards set by those who have gone before us. There is another peak that we shall climb jointly, one of added responsibility. To our parents and teachers, I am afraid, we shall always be children, but after our graduation we shall no longer be children in the critical eyes of others. The change that the world expects from a small piece of sheepskin is amazing. We shall try to bear well this added responsibility. When we have surmounted these peaks, we shall again realize that We are not yet out of the foothills. Before us will remain one huge peak, so massive that we shall not be able to see its summit. On the crest of that peak each one of us will have to place his interpretation of an ideal living. No one can define exactly another's viewpoint, but each of us will surely include some of the same points in his ideals. Most of us want to be good citizens, earning a decent living, most of us want to enjoy life, and all of us want to improve it for ourselves and for those who will follow. Along the way we shall see quiet little lakes where we shall again be tempted to rest. Some people do stop at these places, but the world never hears much of them. Parents, teachers, and friends, on behalf of the Senior Class of 1939, I wish to welcome you to this Commencement which we pledge will initiate our efforts to attain higher achievements. IOHN M- HUNTER l In the ascent 26 'Til iff! ' . O A Farewell Throughout the past four years we have looked forward eagerly to the time when we could lay aside our books and go forth to meet the proverbial challenge of a troubled world. To us, Commencement has been an awe-inspiring symbol of attain- ment, of completion. However, tonight we realize that We are but one step farther on the endless road of education. Although this road has led us now to the crest of a hill, there s are many more hills waiting to be reached. Whether we continue 3 in school or not, circumstances will demand that we continue to study. This study cannot be confined to school, nor even to booksg it must permeate and direct our every accomplishment, or plan for accomplishment. We must realize the comparative meagerness of our knowledge, and we must continue to realize it, for as soon as we think we have gathered all the knowledge necessary for our particular callings, we shall not only cease to grow, but we shall also begin to retrograde. On the other hand, if we do work conscientiously, new heights will offer themselves as greater goals. I-Inf' We must not hesitate to hope for more than we think we can achieve in the field of learning or in life itself. Even though we do not reach our goal, the higher it is, the higher our attainment will be. We might well remember these words of Iames Russell Lowell: Not failure, but low aim is the crime. Commencement is a time for looking forward. Nevertheless, tonight we also pause to reflect on the experiences of the past four years-experiences that have taught us to work together for the good of all. Our varied studies have broad- ened our interests and enriched our lives. These benefits will be with us alwaysg but long after we have forgotten algebra formulae and Latin declensions, we shall treasure the memory of our classmates, who are gathered as a group perhaps for the last time. Our teachers too have proved to be more than mere pedagogues, they have been real friends. These friendships are the bonds that will continue to unite us with University High School in the years to come. Therefore, though tonight we bid farewell and turn our steps somewhat reluc- tantly toward the future, the spirit of University High School shall be with us always.

Our eyes are on the lofty peakg Its lines are vague and somewhat The tempo of our measured tread Is quickened when we spy ahead, Upon a cliffs protruding edge, The jagged margins of a ledge. MOUNTAIN OF LIFE To graduate is written there In letters gold and thick and square The ledge that lies ahead of us bleak. Thus signifies our exodus From youthful high school work and play That helped us in our upward way Our eyes are eager as we strain To reach the ledge we hope to gain Next year we'll realize this hope To Which We look with pride and fear, As we reach the ledge on the perilous slope. IEANNE VAWTER 30 T' 'TYHL ' l1l l . O A unior Class History The Class of '40 has had an excellent Iunior year under the leader- ship of Ruth Wooters, president, David Brown, vice-president, Mar- jorie Gallivan, secretary, and Pierre Noyes, treasurer. Dr. Hartley and Mr. Alstrom acted as our very capable advisors. The candy sales were headed by various students during the year. The Iunior Christmas party was one of the high-lights of the year. The decorations and entertainment, as well as the refreshments, were in the Christmas spirit. The Iunior rings, which were distributed near the beginning of the second semester, were an appropriate choice and will long serve as visible reminders of our happy Iunior year. As we had expected, the Iunior plays, which were presented in the spring, were both a financial and an artistic success. The close of our social year was marked by a banquet given by the Iuniors for the Seniors, shortly before Commencement. Altogether, this has been a profitable and enjoyable year, but we are looking forward to even greater accomplishments next year as Seniors.

MARY SANFORD ' u Sophomore Class History The Sophomore Class, promising to be as outstanding as the Senior, was well represented in the important organizations of the school. As Sophomores, We elected David Burlison, president, Iames Goodman, vice-president, Iean Tracy, secretary, and William Iohnson, treasurer. We chose Dr. Habberton and Miss Changnon as advisors. We had several class meetings as reminders of the dues to be paid, and to make plans for the social triumph of the year, the Sopho- more Valentine party. For this event we decorated the gym with red and white valentines, and we danced to the music of the Cham- paign High School orchestra. Several Sophomores were outstanding in sports-among them, Dwyer Murphy, a capable guard of the basketball team, and Iames Goodman, a substitute guard.

Freshman Class Poem We have mastered our math and history, In our class there are those who excel when they write, Gay fiction, short story, and mystery. And dancers who fill every heart with delight. The boys to long trousers change from short, We have Paderewskis and Spaldings-to-be And the girls to glamorous curls resort. Who'll thrill every crowd to ecstasy. Of our number a few have traveled afarg The laughing Irish read Latin with speed, From abroad theylve brought tales that surpass Scivar. But the pudgy snail is slow indeed. There's a scientist, toog you know whom I meanll Now that some artists have kindly been mentioned, He can mix more concoctions than ever you've seen. We hope great things they'll do until pensioned, And other class members, it's plain to see, Soon famous people will surely be.

Thomas Phipps was chosen to preside over all busi- ness meetings of the Freshman Class, and his worthy assistant was Orville McLendon. Mark Hanna took care of the minutes while lane Iordan guarded our hoard of gold. We legally nominated, voted, and cheered Mr. Katra and Mr. Goodson into the honorable ofhce of advisors. One hazy afternoon in the glorious month of November our advisors and Mr. Habberton helped us forget our books and lessons in Hessel Park. When the sun found its way through the haze, we were indulging in the serious art of playing soccer and football, and incidentally-in eating. Our advisors helped us present a talent assembly program, which we hope everyone enjoyed. The spring party was unusually well attended. When the antici- pated evening arrived, we all appeared bedecked in silks and frills, best suits and new shoes which had not yet lost their extra shine. We were all sorry when the orchestra's final piece rose above the array of balloons and spread throughout the gymnasium. Every member of the class has enjoyed being a Freshman and is eagerly looking forward to being a Sophomore.

MARY ALICE BARLOW 36 -W f 1 I u Q Sub-Freshman Class History On a bright, sunny day in the latter part of September, the mem- bers of the Sub-Freshman class assembled in Room 308, loath to end their vacation and return to their booksg but gloom has turned to joy as the year has progressed. We elected capable ollicers as our leaders: William Hoelscher, president, Christopher Faye, vice-president, Dorothy Wright, secre- tary, Dick Ruehe, treasurer, and Miss Marshall and Miss Kitchell as our class sponsors. Mrs. Hess has been our advisor. In the early autumn we cast aside the cares of school and joyfully hiked to a picnic at Crystal Lake Park, where we enjoyed a hearty luncheon and played numerous games throughout the afternoon. We returned to our homes a tired, but happy, group. In December we presented a talent program before an enthusiastic audience. We were prevailed upon to repeat the performance at the Christmas meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association. Early in May We assisted the Freshmen in giving the annual spring party by furnishing the refreshments. Many remarked that it was the best party of the year. If our history will match our ambitions, we shall have a startling record by 1943. IoAN DOYLE 37 CLASSES 1939 U AND I Assembly Programs At the University High School the planning and presentation of assemblies is unusual in that the programs are carried out primarily by the students. The assembly committee, composed of students and faculty members, was as follows: Miss Kitchell, chairman, Mr. Goodson, Miss Wolfe, Mr. Baird, David Kraehenbuehl, Carmelita Lowry, and Phyllis Dahlman. The assemblies this year were particularly varied and entertaining. It is cus- tomary at University High School for each class to present a talent assembly some- time during the year. The Sub-Freshman program, which was the Hrst of the talent assemblies, was so entertaining that it was repeated for the Parent-Teacher Associa- tion. In their talent assembly, the Iuniors gave an extremely clever parody on the Senior play. In the annual activity assembly, representatives of the various activities depicted the work of their groups by means of exhibitions, demonstrations, talks, and skits. Another annual program is the awards assembly, which is given every spring for the purpose of presenting awards to deserving students. The Music Assembly, directed by Miss Kitchell and Mr. Kauffman, consisted of numbers by the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs, the Orchestra, and instrumental soloists. Another outstanding music assembly was that presented by Sol and Iulius Cohen. These musicians are annual guests of our high school, and the students always thoroughly enjoy their music. The Play Festival, composed of three 0116-.C1Ct plays given by the three twin city high schools, was well received by the University High School audience. The plays were carefully selected-a comedy, a tragedy, and a melodrama. Included among the other assemblies were a short farce written and presented by the U AND I staff, a mathematics program of geometrical tricks and puzzles, and a Christmas assembly consisting of impromptu speeches given by students. 38 n 'Q X, , ACTIVITIES 1939 U AND l Bollom Row: Christ Katsinas, Frances Iones, Priscilla Fletcher, Margaret Crandell, Helen Padgett Second Row: David Kraehenbuehl, Wendel Lehmann, Pierre Noyes, David Brown.

New members were initiated in November at the home of Isabel Case. On three occasions this year, girls from University High School met with those from other schools to participate in sports. The Freshmen were hostesses to twenty girls from Champaign High School at a gym party in December. In the fall, ten University High School girls attended a play day at Urbana High School. Fifteen received invitations to the Spring play day at Danville. On play days, held twice a year, girls from several schools meet and engage in sports. They are designed to take the place of interscholastic competition and are always enjoyed by the girls. In May, the girls of University High School participated with those from other schools in a state telegraphic archery tournament. The G. A. A. sponsored three inter-class tournaments: volleyball, basketball, and softball. The Seniors won in volleyball, while the basketball tournament, managed by Ruth Wooters, resulted in a tie between the Iuniors and the Seniors. The Association sponsored other tournaments: badminton, won by lean Tracy, ping-pong, won by Mary Ann Patong and tennis, won by Ieanne Denison. Harriet Feltls team was victorious in the bowling tournament. Mixed doubles tennis and softball tournaments were held in the Spring. Week-end camps are very popular with the G. A. A. Two trips have been made this year, both to Camp Kiwanis at Decatur. The camp in September was for Fresh- men, Sophomores, and Iuniors. Although they were unfortunate in having rain, all of the girls had a good time. Girls of all classes were permitted to go to the week-end camp in May. Two dozen enthusiastic campers planned and carried out with great success a program of hiking, handicraft, nature study, outdoor cooking, eating, swimming, boating, sports, singing, and folk-dancing. About a dozen girls earned numerals or letters this year. The Girls' Athletic Association attempts to plan a program which will provide some enjoyable recreation for every girl in school. 45 ACTIVITIES 1939 U AND I Boftom Row: Mary Stafford, lane Iordan, Patricia Vawter, Phyllis Dahlman, Delora Hahn, Stella lean Lehmann, Ienny Lu Flynn, Marjorie Reece.

However, the principal function of the orchestra was not to present Hnished public performances, but to acquaint the members with orchestral literature. During the year members of the orchestra made up several ensembles. These groups gave the students a chance to exhibit their individual talent and enabled them to play with others of nearly the same ability. The plan was very successful in that it enabled each member to progress more rapidly than he might otherwise have done. The group participated in the Music Assembly, a Parent-Teacher meeting, the Athletic Banquet program, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. One member, David Kraehenbuehl, was in the All-State Orchestra. 47 ' 15.11.141-...- 1939 U AN'D I Botlom Row: William Hoclscher, Christopher Faye, Arthur Price, Carmelita Lowry, Ruth Casper, Iohn Jones, Iimmie Torcaso, Mr. Katra.

It has held two tournaments, won by Carmelita Lowry and Lee Stevenson. When the club was formed, the members hoped to engage in interscholastic competition but found that they could not, as no other school in the vicinity had a chess team. 48 -mic A A, ACI IVITIES Activities One hour each week is taken from regular classes and devoted to various activities. There are many different activities, and each student can choose one that interests him. Some of the clubs have been discussed previously in this section of the book, but there are many others. Four of the clubs are for boys only. Mr. Baird conducts an open shop for the Industrial Arts club, and the members are allowed to work with wood, metal, and other materials. The Radio Club, sponsored by Dr. Hartley, has taken field trips to the local radio stations and has experimented extensively with small radio sets. The Better Boys' Club has taken several held trips and has discussed good manners and neat appearance. One of the most popular phases of the activity is cooking. In the spring, Miss Dickie, the sponsor, and the members of the club planned and enjoyed a picnic. Approximately twenty boys belong to the Models Club. They spend most of their time building model airplanes. Mr. Goodson is the sponsor. An activity for girls only is the Handwork Club. Mrs. Wilson and the members of her club have gained experience in knitting, embroidering, weaving, and crocheting. Some of the girls have made sweaters, doilies, purses, and doll clothes. All other activities are for both boys and girls. For those interested in learning the rudiments of typing, Mrs. Hagan conducts a Typing Club for beginners. Book enthusiasts can be found in Miss Kramer's Book Club. Besides reading and giving book reviews, the members have taken field trips and dealt some with advertising and bulletin board exhibits. Miss Terry's Bridge and Checkers Club is composed of about eighteen members. Before starting to play, the members are given instructions and suggestions for improving their game. The Co-Recreation activity is under the supervision of Miss Marshall and Mr. Alstrom. In the winter the members play volleyball, badminton, shuffle board, and ping pong. During the early fall and spring weeks, the club plays tennis and softball. The Biology Club, under Mr. Astell's direction, has taken several field trips. Members of the group have given reports on insects, flowers, and animals. 49 1939 U AND I Parent-Teacher Association OFFICERS, 1938-1939 PrCSidCIlt .s...... .1....11.......... M rs. I. O.

Hartley The combined efforts of the officers and the aid and cooperation of the members created much new interest in the Parent-Teacher association and its activities at University High School this year. During the year fine audiences supported the educational programs equally as well as those which were planned chiefly for entertainment. On two occasions the faculty and pupils held an open house in order that the parents and friends might become better acquainted with the internal order of the school. At the lirst meeting Miss Changnon gave a brief talk on The Activity Program of University High Schoolf, Her discussion was supplemented by several other faculty members. At the same meeting Dr. Sanford gave a short sum- mary of the Problems of Guidancef, Later in the year Mr. Goodson presented a paper on the same subject. One of the highlights of the year was an address on Sane Progressive Education, by Professor Reeder of the College of Education. Miss McHarry led an English round-table discussion at a later meeting. This year the Association, in an attempt to bring the parents closer to the school, had a num- ber of programs in which the students participated. The Sub-Freshmen presented one program, the music organizations presented anotherg and the language students aided with the Christmas program. One of the important functions of the Parent-Teacher Association is sponsoring the Athletic and the Class Night Banquets. Both of these events were very successful. An important innovation was a lunch served to the boys of both teams after the University High School-Carbondale basketball game. As students, we wish to express our appreciation to the Parent-Teacher Associa- tion for all it has done, and to wish it all success in the future. 50 i 1. LITERATURE 1939 U AND I Defiance All day long the north wind had blown steadily. Q Waves formed and rolled southward, surging, struggling ' for mere existence, competing with each other for sur- X vival. The sky was a dull mass of grey humidity. Some- times a patch of sombre blue would edge its way into visibility, only to be engulfed by clouds. Mist shrouded the blue-green water, occasionally lifting enough so the foaming white-caps could be seen. Then all was hazy again. HHIG-HER FIND The summer day passed into eternity, and with it, FARTHER THE ,, the clouds and the mist. Night approached, accompanied NOON CUNBEDU' by the moon. Gradually, slowly, precisely, the shining body ascended its heavenly orbit, casting forth upon the sonorous sea its silver path of light. The dulcet droning of the palms and of the stately pines was a chant to the north wind, the tides, and the moon, as though defying all the world. Higher and farther the moon climbed, shimmering its glow upon the tides of time and upon the trees. Like the skipper of a vessel steering his ship toward a distant port, it boldly hurled back one last glance at the crooners of the earth-the palms, the pines, and the sea.

IEANNE DONOVAN 52 W The Ballad of the Finnigan Oh, Finnigan was a pirate bold, A pirate bold was he, And no braver man than Finnigan Has sailed upon the sea. Oh, Finnigan's ship was the big black Snark, And a Hne, Hne ship was she, No greater ship than the big black Snark Has sailed the seven seas. Oh, Finnigan's crew were big, big men, Half up to the mainmast tree, And no bigger and braver crew than this Has sailed upon the sea. Oh, Finnigan's cook was a spidery man, A thin, dark Portugee, And no better a man in the world than this For serving delicasee. One day the Snark fell in with a ship, An lndiaman was she, And a bloodier battle than raged that day No man shall ever see. For seven days the battle stormed, Till each side had but three, And the blood of all the other men Went tricklin, to the sea. On the poop deck stood the lndiaman, In his hand an ambuskweeg He fired, and the captain of the Snark Went Plunkl into the sea. Oh, once there lived a Finnigan, A pirate bold was heg Now he and his crew and his big black Snark Lie deep beneath the sea.

I am surprised when I look at her kind face and then see her do these wicked things. I have seen her take an egg and beat and devil it. She sears and boils the meat, squeezes the lemon, cuts the bread, whips the cream, skins the bananas, cracks the ice, chops the nuts, soaks the prunes, grinds the coffee, scalds the dishes, and freezes the ice-cream. In her worst moments she burns the whole dinner. But I have a confession to make. After relating all the cruel things my mother does, I must tell you what I do. I lick the pans! MARY ELLEN BENNETT War Diary Today we die! Nineteen in all, we await our time. Whether it is right, we know not, but it is war. We are the enemy, and so we must die. Perhaps we should die, but the business end of a machine-gun is no place to end one's life. Gur town was captured. Our neighbors fled. We remained to destroy the things left behind, and thus we were captured. Straggling steps drag by all day. Toward evening a captain comes to our cell, our hearts speed up, our knees are weak. The time is here. I-Ie calls two names. My friends are dragged out. I remain. A hope-faint, to be sure, but a hope-rises in my breast. Again footsteps approach. I am half-carried, half-dragged out. My face is cold with perspiration. I am thrust into the line in front of the blood-smeared, bullet-pocked wall. The machine guns stutter, move with a deadly chatter . . . then oblivion.

CARL Ixxixnss ountain Sunrise We rose early that morning-not because we had had enough sleep, but because those small pebbles that had been under us when we went to bed had somehow turned to huge boulders. It was an amusing sight to see the fellows stick their noses out of their bedrolls like bears coming out of hibernation. As soon as the mountain air, about thirty-five degrees that morning, struck them full in the face, they jumped as if they had been shocked by a jolt of electricity. lim sure that some of our mothers would have been pleased and perhaps surprised to see how fast their sons could dress if the situation necessitated! Even if it was only four-thirty, no one regretted getting up at that time. During the next hour we had the privilege of seeing one of nature's greatest spectacles, the sunrise. As we stood and watched the sun creep slowly over the horizon, I wondered if any of the millions who had witnessed that sunrise saw anything nearly as won- derful as what I was seeing in this particular spot. There was something in the quiet, in the reflections on the lake, and in the mountains that made me wonder how even God could create such beauty. The whole episode took on the air of a church service. At the first appearance of the sun, everyone hushed, no one spoke above a whisper. We were worshipping in what was truly God's church, and we realized that. The walls of this church were the mountains surrounding us on all sides, and the highly polished floor, a lake, reflected their beauty. Above us our roof, the sky, was a beautiful blue. Across the mirror-like lake and above the mountains silently rose the altar, and all eighteen of us worshiped the Power who created all of this. As the sun reached a certain point in the heavens, the spell was ended, as a real church service is terminated by the first note of the organist's postlude. JOHN HUNTER 55 1939 U AND I ?

She came to drab, bare trees and bushes, and passing, left the trees white statues, the bushes waving feather-dusters. A deep carpet of velvety snow unrolled behind her. She paused at the edge of the lake and trailed cool fingers in the waters, coating the smooth flow of Wavelets with crystal. The little stones and pebbles along her path were dia- monds and pearls, strewn carelessly for all to find. The soft-piled hills rose up to meet the moon, a sphere of mother-of-pearl, as it sank behind folds of ermine clouds. The telephone poles were alabaster columns erected to Winter. Sleepy little snowbirds huddled under fluted wings. Fence-posts wore night-caps of woolly white. A lonely star penetrated the dark murky blue of sky and sent down a single shining ray to transform a lowly, ice-coated bucket into a brilliant cask to hold the snow-jewels of the Lady Night.

Remarkable beast! he said. Seventy cents a mile! Suddenly two shots rang out. 'KCurses! cried the count. lt wasn't loaded!', And he toppled off the elephant. Iosef quietly sampled some arsenic.

The smoke, aromatic and dense, Rises and leaves a pungent fragrance. The sun sinks lower, lower, And, lifting heavy lashes, Takes one last fleeting look, And lingering deep-cut gashes Of brilliant color streak the sky. LOUISE PROEHL Beauty On an evening when myriads of tiny stars are poking their metallic ffngers through the curtain of darkness, beauty is deep and still. It steals over the earth, leaving a reverent hush in its wake. Even the moon respectfully covers her face with a veil of mist. And all is silent. However, poets sing of spring, for in the spring, beauty is everywhere. In fact, spring has an over-supply of beauty. When there is such a dazzling multitude of things to see and hear, it is difficult to appreciate individual manifestations of beauty. The effect of small, subtly beautiful things is obscured by the ground, almost flam- boyant effect of the parade of spring. In the summer time, beauty is too intense, and although Indian summer has a beautiful weird charm, it is unreal and evanescent. Beauty in nature really reaches its zenith in the late afternoon of a dull, dark November day. When everything seems drab and grey, one lone shaft of sunlight or one small, green leaf is a wonder of haunting beauty. When beauty must be searched for, it is far more real and more lasting because part of it comes from within. Only when beauty steals from within and gradually grows until it forms a song of ineffable joy in the heart, is it beauty in the truest sense of the word. ISABEL CASE 59 1939 U AND I The Twins Eff!

Mr. Doakes, who had been sleeping soundly, awoke with a start, bounded from his bed: skiddecl crazily on a small rug: and collapsed with a crash against the closed door of his room. Recovering quickly, he arose, cursing his luck and the small rug. Concluding that there was an intruder downstairs, he hastily got into his slippers and dressing gown. Having prepared himself for action in this manner, Mr. Doakes seized a flash light from the table and made his way warily into the hall. Reaching the head of the stairs, he be- gan a cautious descent, exercising great care to avoid the fifth step from the bottom, which he knew possessed a bad squeak. However, in do- ing so, he stepped too far and rolled noisily to the bottom, knocking over the huge flowerpot at the foot of the stairs. This action having put an end to the usefulness of his Hash light, Mr. Doakes waited a moment for his eyes to become accus- tomed to the darkness of the room, the only light being a patch of moonlight coming through one of the windows. This accomplished, he began to move with great care on his hands and knees around the sofa, only to come face to face with the shadowy figure of a man, also on his hands and knees. Instantly Mr. Doakes sprang to his feet to deliver a well-directed blow at the intruder, who had done likewise. At that moment, Mr. Doakes checked his swing and sank weakly to the Hoor with a gasp of relief. His assailant was his own reflection in the mirror on the closet door! As he sat on the floor trying to regain his strength, which the previous mishaps had sadly depleted, he heard a movement in the next room. After carefully feeling his way along, he paused on his hands and knees, listening intently. Again he heard the noise of something moving directly ahead of him. He rose with a quick movement to grapple with the intruder, only to be felled by a blow from the dining room table, under which he had unwittingly crawled. At this point, a plaintive wail caused the bruised and battered Mr. Doakes to suspect what had been the cause of all this uproar. After much fumbling, he switched on the light and turned to gaze upon the figure of Ioe Louis, his wife's cat, sitting amid the remains of the large fishbowl. Thirty seconds later, having cast the luckless Brown Bomber into the alley, Mr. Doakes ascended the stairs, cursing hshbowls and cats in general. MILTON SHEDD 1939 U AND I An Airplane Beacon An airplane beacon seems strange to me, Waving its beam on land or sea, Searching off to some unknown, Seeking the giant birds that roam. At night when I pass this mammoth light It gives off that which breaks the night, It shines with the brightness of a star And sends white radiance exploring afar. ROBERT SAVAGE Candle Light The beauty of a candle touches me, It is so softly gay- So steadfast and so careless of itself, Giving its life away. ANNA B. PAYNE Candle light-suggestive of the rich and poor, the divine and humble, the gay and grief-stricken. On the luxurious table of the wealthy its stately height is held in a crystal base, and its Hame casts a glow over rich damask, tinkling glass, shining silver, and delicate fuchsia. Likewise, a cheerful little flame burns courageously in the meager home of the laboring man, amidst meaner surroundings. Here its holder is of cheap glass, and coarse is the food at its baseg but it radiates warmth and comfort on the table of this humble place. On the altar of a church slender white tapers arranged in tiers cast shimmering glory of hope and promise to those who seek courage and renewed strength for daily cares. Candles on Christmas trees shed their light on expectant faces of children who dance with hearts full of happiness and joy. Other candles light the funeral bier. They burn in sympathy with those who must be separated from the life of a loved one. Thus we find candles blazing their different ways through life-all beautiful in their simplicity, capacious in that which they touchg forever striving to be inspirational and to arouse high ideals of the purity, the religion, and the hope which they should symbolize.

PRISCILLA COLBY ATHLETICS 1939 U AND I Bottom Row: Robert DeLong, Robert Dexter, Robert Edgar, Dwyer Murphy, LeRoy Baum, Coach Alstrom. Second Row: Milton Shedd fMgr.j, Iay Gould, Iohn Hunter, Harry Swartz, Iames Goodman, Peter Scarseth. Basketball This year the basketball team completed the most successful season ever enjoyed by the Uni High cagers. Led by Coach Willmer Alstrom and Kenneth Zimmerman, the team compiled a season record of fourteen wins and seven losses and placed fifth in the eighteen-team county league. Mr. Zimmerman, who carried on commendably in the last quarter of the season during Coach Alstrom's illness, is a Senior at the University of Illinois and a practice teacher this year at Uni High. Harry Swartz very capably captained Uni High's team. The Uni High reserves also had a successful season, winning seven out of ten games, while the Freshman-Sophomore team won one game in five starts. 68 ATHLETICS The Season A strong Alumni team, including four former Uni High captains, provided the first test for the 1939 team. Led by Bob DeLong, who scored 23 points, the team showed good scoring punch and doubled the score on the Alumni, 31 to 16. The opening night of the regular season saw Uni High in action in a double- header against Gifford and Ludlow. The First and second teams divided the time in the two games. In the Hrst game, Pete Scarseth scored 13 points, as Uni High rolled up a 36 to 9 score. Our boys won handily from Ludlow, 51 to 28, in the nightcap. Although the Uni High offense was slow in getting under way, the boys came through in the last half to earn a 24 to 17 verdict over Penfield. Bob DeLong's field goal in the last 20 seconds of play won an extremely rough and thrilling game from Seymour, 21 to 19. Uni High annexed its sixth consecutive victory by defeating Philo 25 to 23 in a sudden death overtime period. Trailing 18 to 10 at the half and 20 to 16 at the end of the third quarter, Uni High took the lead by one point in the last minute of play and then saw their one-point margin erased by a Philo free throw to end the game in a 23 to 23 deadlock. In the overtime, Captain Harry Swartz tallied the winning basket. Rolling up 24 points in the second half, Uni High gave Pesotum a severe spank- ing, 31 to 12. Tolono handed Uni High its Hrst defeat of the season by a 36 to 27 margin. Uni High's early scoring spree enabled the cagers to defeat Seymour 38 to 25 in the second meeting between the two teams this season. Scoring honors of the evening were divided between Bob DeLong and Pete Scarseth, who together col- lected 34 points. During the Christmas holidays we were hosts to an invading team from Univer- sity High of Carbondale. In a nip and tuck game, the invaders were turned back by a 25 to 22 count. Uni High continued its winning habits by routing Ludlow, 40 to 16. Uni High stepped into stiffer competition and scored a surprise victory over Bement, 32 to 30. Uni High enjoyed a slight advantage throughout the game until the final quarter, where the lead see-sawed back and forth and was tied at 30 all, with ten seconds to play. At this point, Bob DeLong swished a long Hoor shot into the basket and clinched the game for Uni High, 32 to 30. A late Uni High rally fell two points short, and Ogden nosed out a 33 to 31 victory in a hard fought contest. Uni High's inability at the free throw line was in a large way responsible for the loss. In the County Tournament, Uni High disposed of its first opponent, Pesotum, in easy fashion, to win 30 to 9. In the quarter-final round, Longview, which went on to place second in the tournament, eliminated Uni High's courageous cagers, 38 to 24. Philo staged a fourth-quarter rally to nose out the Uni High cagers, who carried on valiantly without the valuable services of Harry Swartz. 69 A - 1 1939 U AND I Uni High won a 33 to 23 victory over St. Ioseph, the team which recently took third place in the County Tournament, and, as a result, regained the traveling cup that has alternated between these two schools for many years. Uni High displayed the best teamwork of the season in this game, and the rebounding was nearly perfect. Farmer City managed to eke out a 24 to 22 victory over Uni High. With the score 18 to 3 against them at the halfway mark, Uni High, led by Captain Harry Swartz, staged a spectacular rally in the last half, but fell two points short of victory. A big, but inferior, Mansfield team failed to offer much opposition as Uni High turned on the power in the final quarter and marched on to a 30 to 17 triumph. Fisher's deadly accuracy at the basket proved to be too much for Uni High, as a result our cagers met their worst defeat thus far in the season, 35 to 19. Urbana, the team which eventually won the tournament, gave Uni High a decisive 45 to 15 drubbing in the Regional Tournament. Uni High fought des- perately but was powerless against such a strong team as Urbana.

Harry was one of the chief scoring threats and was outstanding as a rebounder and a defensive player. Iohn Hunter, who played at center, was probably the most consistent player on the team. He carried a great share of the rebounding duties and was a valuable defensive player. Iohn, who is a Senior. also contributed many points in the scoring column. Robert Edgar, also a Senior, earned his first basketball letter this year. Bob was a guard, and his scoring ability proved a valuable asset to the team. Robert Dexter, a Senior who came to Uni High for the first time this year, saw some service at the forward position. Peter Scarseth, a Iunior, was elected Captain of the team for next year. Pete's Fine basket-eye and team spirit should make him leader of an outstanding team. Robert DeLong rolled up a total of 174 points to carry off the individual scoring honors. Bob's clever ball handling and speed were a great advantage. He has one more year in which to compete. Iay Gould played at forward and contributed many points to the Uni High scoring column. lay is a Iunior letter winner. Wendel Lehmann, a Iunior, played largely as a forward. He should be a strong contender for a Hrst team berth next year. Iames Goodman came into prominence, during the latter part of the season, in time to earn his letter. Iimmy was a good team worker and defensive player and has two more years to play. Dwyer Murphy, a Sophomore letter winner at guard position, was a very capable defensive player and displayed a good team spirit. Milton Shedd, a Senior, was manager this year for both basketball and wrestling. He was outstanding in his fine sense of duty and willingness and was a great help to the two teams. 71 ATHLETICS crib- 1939 U AND I Bovom Row: William Savage, Frank Iordan, Charles Adams, William Tomaras, Spcaro Variames, lack Cummings, Iohn Dillavou. Second Row: Everett Herman, David Burlison, Iimmie Iimbry, VVarrun Goodcll, lose Lowry, Coach Thune. Wrestling In one sense the wrestling team had a very successful season. Although it had to forfeit several matches throughout the year because of illness or injury, Uni High was able to boast of a full and complete team for the first time in its wrestling history. The season record in dual meet competition was two wins, five losses, and one tie. In all fairness to the members of the team it should be pointed out that Uni High, a school with an enrollment of 250, competed against such large schools as Cham- paign, Urbana, and Danville. Several meets this season were decided by one match or a forfeit. Of the fifty-nine individual dual meet matches in which the team par- ticipated, Uni High won twenty-seven and lost thirty-one. In spite of the fact that five dual meets were lost, this is a good record, and shows that several meets were very close. David Burlison and lack Cummings earned their way into the semi- finals at the sectional tournament, three others drew byes into the semi-finals, but all were eliminated in this round. Mr. Iohn Thune, a student teacher from the Univer- sity, coached the wrestling team. He was a member of the University of Illinois varsity wrestling squad for two years, and his experience was a great help to the members of the Uni High wrestling team. 72 ATHLETICS The Season In the first meet of the season, Uni High defeated Catlin 25 to 20. The 95 and 105 pound classes were forfeited to Uni High, and Cummings, Herman, and Embry all won by falls. The score was tied 20 to 20 with one match remaining in the meet when Jimmie Embry stepped on the mat to throw his opponent in 53 seconds of a split bout. The first defeat of the season was suffered at the hands of Uni High fNormalj who defeated our mat team 19M to 172. Our points were earned by Herman and Bullock, who secured falls over their opponents, and by Variames and Burlison, who won decisions. lose Lowry contributed UQ points to the Uni High cause by virtue of a draw match. Uni High wrestlers dropped a close 23 to 18 decision to Danville. However, every member of the team showed a marked improvement and gave a good account of himself. Winners for Uni High were Dillavou, Cummings, Herman, and Burlison. A strong aggregation of Champaign wrestlers rolled over Uni Highls deter- mined, but inferior, mat team by a 34 to 5 score. David Burlison was the sole Uni High winner. Three matches were lost by Uni High on very close decisions, and another was forfeited because of an injury. Although Uni High Won four of seven bouts, Farmer City won over the matmen 18 to 14. Uni High again was forced to forfeit five points which proved to be the deciding edge in the meet. Uni High winners were Variames, Cummings, Herman, and Burlison. A strong Urbana team defeated Uni High's wrestlers 33 to 8. Variames and Herman were the only Uni High winners. Uni High's return meet with Catlin proved to be a decisive victory, as the matmen outwrestled their opponents 28 to 15. Uni High and Farmer City wrestlers came to grips, but neither team was able to secure a decision, and the meet ended in a 20 to 20 deadlock. The Uni High feature of the meet was Everett Herman's seventh consecutive win and Iimmie Embry's victory over an opponent who had defeated him in a previous match.

Due to an injury, he was unable to compete as a Senior, nevertheless, his interest in the team caused him to work in every way possible to promote a Hne spirit of cooperation among his teammates. -Written by W. O. Alstrom Everett Herman, a Senior, wrestling at 145 pounds, turned in the best individual record of the season. I-le went undefeated throughout the season until the Sectional Tournament, where his opponent defeated him. Iimmie Embry, Senior, who wrestled in the 185 pound class but weighed about 12 pounds less, was a valuable performer, and his victories decided a couple of meets for Uni High. lose Lowry, Senior 155 pounder, was unable to finish the season because of illness. lack Cummings, the veteran 115 pounder, continued his successful wrestling career by winning four dual meets and reaching the semi-finals at the Sectional Tournament. lack is a Iunior. Spearo Variames, a Iunior 125 pounder, won four matches. This is Spearo's first year of wrestling. David Burlison was elected Captain of the team for next year. David is only a Sophomore but has already proved very valuable on the mat. He wrestled at 165 pounds this year and won five dual meets and also reached the semi-finals at the Sectional Tournament. Charles Adams, a Sophomore 135 pounder, got his first taste of wrestling in the second semester and won two of his four matches. Both of his losses were to op- ponents who placed in the state finals. john Dillavou, a Freshman who was the team's 95 pounder, was ill at the time of several meets but managed to win one of his three dual meet tussles. Frank Iordan, also a Freshman, took over Captain Bill Tomaras' post at 105 pounds. Although Frank did not win a match this year, he shows good promise for his three remaining years of competition. William Bullock, Robert and William Savage, Warren Goodell, Charles Pickerill, and Iames Breen all participated in at least one match but did not Win a berth on the regular line-up. 74 al ATHLETICS Boftom Row: VVilliam Tomaras, David Brown, Theodore Variames, Robert Dexter, Bob Swartz, lack Cole.

Track At thc time the U AND I went to press, Uni I-Iigh's track season was nearing completion. At this point the tracksters had finished fourth in the county track and Held meet, the best showing ever made by a Uni High team. Uni High also had its share of points in the invitational and triangular meets. Mr. Alstrom returned to school after his illness to coach the team. In the 100 yard dash, two Iuniors were outstanding-Eugene Van Vranken and Bob DeLong, who won second in this event at the county meet. Bob DeLong also won second in the 220 yard dash at the county. David Brown was his running mate. The 440 yard dash was run by a Senior, Milton Shedd, and a Sophomore, jimmy Goodman. Both boys ran good races at the county meet, but narrowly missed earning places. The chief competitors in the 880 yard run were Seniors Bob Dexter and Bill Tomaras. Ted Variames also ran in this race several times during the season. Iack Cole, a Sophomore, ran the low hurdles and placed fourth at the county meet, and Eugene Van Vranken wore the Uni High colors in the high hurdles. Uni High had two good broad jumpers in Milton Shedd and Bob DeLong, who placed second and third respectively at the county. Ted Variames threw the discuss, and Bob Swartz tossed the javelin. Eugene Van Vranken, Milton Shedd, Iack Cole, and Bob DeLong, running in that order, finished second at the meet. David Brown, also a member of the relay team, alternated with Milton Shedd during the season. 75 1939 U AND I Softball Letter awards were not given in softballg but interscholastic competition was encountered, and a great number of boys participated this year. The team faced a rather stiff schedule of eight games, and emerged with a record of five wins and three defeats. Experienced players, good teamwork, and fine spirit were all factors in the season's success. Uni High copped the first four games of their schedule. In the season's opener, Gilford was the victim of a 21 to 5 defeat. The effective pitching of Peter Scarseth and the timely hitting of Harry Swartz contributed much to this victory.

Briefly, we shall consider life insurance from these three aspects. In making an investment, a man's hrst thought should be for his principal. Whether he gains much or little in the form of interest, he first makes sure that he is in no danger of losing any of his invested capital. Life insurance offers a safety seldom rivaled elsewhere. During the depression, life insurance companies whose assets totaled only about ZCX, of the total life insurance reserves in the country WCIH into the hands of the receiver. Surely, other forms of investment cannot excel this fine recordl It is only natural that a person investing his money wants some return in the form of interest. In a way, he is renting his cash to a company. In comparison with high-grade corporation bonds we find that life insurance compares very favor- ably. Through a series of complicated mathematical computations we learn that life insurance yielded a net compound interest return of 5.362 in 1927. Since that time this figure has dropped to 43504, A similar survey of corporation bonds shows their interest rate to have dropped slightly more than that. Thus, we see how insurance offers not only a good return but a comparatively stable one. The third consideration is the availability of cash in emergencies. During the depression the man who held stocks or bonds was out of luck. If he had to have money, he was forced either to sell his collateral securities at a ruinous loss or to borrow money on them at excessive rates of interest. But not so with the life insurance policy-holder. His policy guaranteed the amount he could obtain and stated the rate of interest that he could be required to pay. No investment during the depression was so available in an emergency as was the life insurance cash value or borrowing capacityg and today, with many unpredictable events ahead, the situation is similar. In addition to all this, life insurance has its principal function: creating an estate for the heirs of the deceased or establishing a retirement income for the policy- holder. Some day you will have money to invest: and when that time comes, we should appreciate your careful consideration of life insurance as a safe and prohtable investment as well as a reliable protection. -1.
