DR. MILES C HARTLEY FOREWORD In the preparation of an annual which is repre- sentative of the whole school, it is necessary to use the services of underclassmen, as well as those of members of the yearbook staff and other Seniors. VVe extend our appreciation to the following students who have contributed materially to the contents of this book: Stephen Cleaver, Alonzo Hunter, James Gallivan, Richard Ruehe, Rodney Short, VVillard Jackson, James Goodman, Gwendolyn Smith, Patricia Vawter, Donald Kane, Martha Goodwine, Forrest Wilson, Ruth Woot- ers, Priscilla Lavin. Mr. J. F. Traband, a student teacher, helped with the art work. In addition, we wish to thank especially three fac- ulty members who have cooperated with us to the full- est extent. They are Mrs. Hess, who has served as our sponsor, Miss Zilly, who has acted as art advisorg and Miss McHarry, who has assisted us with the proof reading of our annual. As a unifying force to draw more closely together the different sections of this yearbook, we have chosen to compare the varied activities of life in the theater with those of life at Uni High. We hope that this de- vice, as well as the pictures, articles, and other features, will contribute to your enjoyment of the 1940 U and I. EDITOR '- INWCHIEF J CONTENTS I C I F A C U L T Y S E N I O R S C L A S S E S ACTIVITIES LITERATURE ATHLETICS ADVERTISING g Page 5'f'z':'n The director of a play drills his actors in the fun- damentals of stagecraft and actingg he works long hours in order to give the benefit of his experience and observation to the success of the undertaking. Then, when the play is presented, the director recedes into the backgroundg and the players step into prominence, invaluably aided by his instructions and criticisms. In an identical manner, our instructors have put into our hands the fundamentals with which we may achieve success and happiness in attaining higher edu- cation and in making a living. But the importance of the teachers, instructing and training fades into the background when we graduate and go on to other fields, just as the invaluability of the director's drilling and criticism goes unrecognized when a play is pro- duced. We Seniors realize the debt which we owe to our Faculty, and we express here our appreciation for their part in our education. FACULTY 1940 U AND I MAX R.

Z' E S E in 2 3 Q Page Thirteen Like actors leaving the stage of their performance, loath to quit the place where they have been happy and prominent, yet looking forward to other productions and to more important roles, are the Seniors of 1940, as they leave behind them the scene of their most pleas-- ant and profitable activities of the past four years, ln leaving Uni High, the Seniors not only remember that they have learned cooperation and versatility through extra-curricular activities, but also realize that their most important gains have been in increased knowledge and in learning to work with each other. All these ele- ments have played their part in making our career at Uni High an enjoyable and worthwhile experience which will be a pleasant memory. Looking forward, the Seniors glimpse the problems which will confront themg and they are thankful that they have been given the best preparation with which to cope with the de- mands that will be made upon them. So, looking both forward and backward, the Seniors of 1940 vacate the stage of high school life.

SENIORS 1940 U AND I enior Class Histor Vtfe, the Class of 1940, have reached a time which comes to all good things. In other words, our company must disband. We look back now and view with surprise the improvement in our presenta- tion during the last four years. In 1936 we, timid and stage-frightened Freshmen, had as our lead Peter Scarseth. His co-star was Richard Barlow, and Bob Swartz acted both as prompter and as business manager. Miss Kitchell and Dr. Hartley were our directors. Our Hrst act, featuring the Spring party, was quite as good as could be expected from such inexperienced players. As Sophomores, we chose John Schnebly as our star, Wendell Winkelmann as his co-star, Barbara Holmes as prompter, David Brown as business manager, and Miss Bower and Mr. Alstrom as directors. Although we became slightly overconfident of our acting ability, our party and a talent assembly somewhat justified our opinion. When, being Juniors, we were qualified to call ourselves upper- classmen and therefore experienced troupers, our stars were Ruth Wooters, leading lady, David Brown, leading man, Marjorie Galli- van, prompterg Pierre Noyes, business manager, and Dr. Hartley and Mr. Alstrom, directors. Called upon for some of our best per- formances in this act, we presented a good Christmas party, pro- duced a group of very successful Junior plays, and entertained the Seniors at a really extraordinary banquet at the Urbana Country Club. During our Senior year, our troupe, the greatest in the history of University High School, was led by David Brown, star, Eugene Van Vranken, co-star: Marjorie Gallivan, prompterg Dorothy Mur- phy, business managerg and Miss McHarry and Dr. Hartley, direc- tors. Our Senior play, Big-Hearted Herbert, and our Hallowe'en party were, of course, produced superlatively. And, even though we have learned our lines and otherwise ac- complished the serious aims of a play cast, we have had a good time doing it-an accomplishment which showed up to advantage in this, our final production. PHILIP ANDERSON. Pauc Twenty age Twenty enior Class Poem The curtain falls, and thunderous applause Acclaims us for a final act well done. We bow, amid the dazzling gleam of lights 5 As we step forward, joy enfolds each one. But when at last the cheering crowd has left, And we are on the empty stage alone, A sudden poignant pain besets our hearts In realizing what we all have known: That this achievement we have finally reached, Although our best performance, was our lastg Our work together now is at an endg Our happy days upon this stage have passed. We look at one another, loath to leave Our many friends and this familiar scene, We must disband and shall not meet again, That knowledge makes our parting sadness keen. And yet there's something in us eager, too, That urges us to hurry and move on, New stages wait for usg and others, too, Wait here to take our place when we have gone. And so, reluctantly, we say farewell And proudly leave our record on life's page. Each one looks backward to remembered joys And forward, hopeful of a greater stage. MARGARET THOMAS SENIORS 1940 U AND I Class Will FIRST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1940 NVe, the undersigned, the notorious Class of 1940, students in University High School, institution for mental enlightenment and advancement in Champaign County, state of Illinois, being of sound mind and weak memory, do hereby make, publish, and decree this to be our first will and testament, hereby making any and all wills made by us hereafter void. Realizing that our beneficiaries are mere adolescents, wholly incapable of making decisions and handling their affairs to their advantages, we hereby solemnly appoint the following trustees to administer their affairs until such a time as they shall be adjudged mentally capable of exe- cuting said affairs: MR.

Peter Scarseth leaves his moods, he can manage better without them. John Schnebly leaves his efficiency in dodging the visiting hour rules at the Mercy Hospital to whoever needs it.

J Barbara Holmes leaves her bows C FJ to next year's Sub-Freshman girls. Margaret Loomis leaves, after several previous attempts. Ruby Pilcher leaves her uhs', to Miss McHarry's future English classes. Elsa Proehl leaves her calm aloofness and refined dignity to Joanne Hills. Mary Margaret Gordon leaves her dramatic ability to Arthur Price, Jr. Richard Stouffer leaves his paper route to Billy Cagle. Nancy Ruth leaves her intentional leaves of absence to Mary Sanford. Ethel McDonald leaves her grass skirt and octopus eyes to Jane Burke. Robert DeLong leaves his charm for university girls to Dick Ruehe. Eugene Van Vranken leaves his track skills to Gene Jacobs. Jay Gould bequeaths his love of Champaign High blondes to Floyd Parks, Jr. Jack Cummings leaves his fondness for Little Orphan Annie to Jack Cole. Ruth Wooters and James Goodman leave their first floor corridor rendezvous to Betty Jean Garrett and Leroy Baum. J Page T t Pierre Noyes leaves his red shirt, high ideals, and soap box orations to John Rains. Tony Palmisano leaves his peanuts to David Vestal. Eugene Armstrong dies intestate. Earl Finder gives his all to John Hofmann. Charles Pickerill leaves his boyish grin and winning ways to Dr. Hartley. Dorothy Murphy leaves her sophisticated airs and copies of Esquire to Kathryn Bullock. John Rayburn leaves his six foot vaults to MacMillan's. Arthur Brock leaves his ability to hold two girls on his knees and drive at the same time to Christ Katsinas. Ted Variames leaves his girls in biology class to Chuck Adams. Spearo Variames leaves his quiet, reticent ways and bashful manner to Miss Kramer. Ieanne Denison leaves her Southern accent, which she sometimes forgets to use, to Pat Vawter. Marjorie Gallivan leaves, to all girls who foolishly try to return to Miss Mar- shallls class, her crutches. Virginia Allen leaves her girlish smile and knowing winks at the practice teachers to joanne Hills. George Brine leaves his mastery of cutting linoleum blocks to the art editor of next year's U and I. Wendell Lehmann leaves his long term at Uni High to Richard Pfiester. David Burlison leaves to wash his sweat pants. Rodney Short leaves for Champaign High and the blonde cheerleader. Bob Swartz leaves his car to be used as a bus for the athletic teams.

DoRoTHv lllURPHY EARL FINDER WENDELL NVINKELMANN Page Twmzty-three SENIORS 1940 U AND I Class Prophee Authors, note: The authors beg to inform their readers, if any, that all names mentioned herein are purely lictitious, and that any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is imaginary. Margaret Thomas, a poet illustrious, Has of late become very industrious. She published in songs A tale of the wrongs Of George Brine, Arthur Brock, and the rest of us. Barbara Holmes and Pete Scarseth co-edit The Cham-bana news'-Daily Saidit- In which has appeared, As we have long feared, The news that the two had been wedded. Pierre Noyes, who was never re- pressed In argument for the oppressed, Has become a dictator Down near the equator- And knows it is all for the best. Bob DeLong built a bridge o'er the Boneyard Which was crossed by Miss Felt, who's no coward. The bridge suddenly cracked At her dainty impact- Miss Felt was immersed in the Bone- yard. Virginia Allen, an historian eminent Wrote a tome filled with history evi- dent. Pilcher was to publish it, But she took a good look at it- In despair threw away that white ele- phant. Dorothy Murphy's retired from so- cietyg She's become the pink of propriety. A home she did enter, Where John Rayburn sent her, When her escapades caused him anxiety. The taxi conducted by Lavin Developed a rear tire spavin. Even with Stouffer Acting as chauffeur, The spavin gave pain to Miss Lavin. In the last presidential election We noticed a minor defection. Braintruster Phil A. VV as defeated that day- Now the country's in need of correc- tion. Alma Bullock, who is not a minority, Has exercised her parental authority. She up and forbade Her offspring to gad- jack Cummings approved her severity. Elsa Proehl, who used to be rneeker, Has become a notorious speaker. She lectures on isms And unions and schisms- Her hearers grow weaker and weaker. Page Tue tyf Mary Gordon's the national president Of the athletic association, so emi- nent. Among her great satellites Who so nearly are parasites, Jeanne Denison is unusually evident. Spearo Variames, a wrestler renowned, Until lately had never been downed. Then he met Eugene Armstrong And got himself in wrong- Some pieces have not yet been found. The last heard of Schnebly, John R.. He was swimming in, over the Bar. When tried by his court, Margie's only retort Was, S0fial service is better by farf' Ethel Mcllonaldls fulfilled her am- bition: She's acquired an army position. She mends everyone's rents And she puts up the tents- She hasn't yet earned a commission. Ruth VVooters, who was formerly quiet, Has learned how to rage and to riot. The frying pan flies When Jim Goodman she eyes, And Jimmy is loath to defy it. Dr. Hartley's sad fate is well known. His hair over night gray had grown. When he could not hinder The return of Earl Finder, His math classes he did disown. Van Vranken, who's dyed his hair red, And Winklemann, so it is said, e 7 euty-five J Ihotograph Beauty In line of their duty- And there isn't much more to be said! Pickerill keeps an aquarium ln conjunction with Tony's herbar- iumg All the worms that they wish Are supplied to the fish. They are lively-you'd better beware of 'em. The piratical instincts of Dave Have made him a good-natured knaveg He joined a small band ln a tropical land- No other life does he crave. Bob Swartz has lately been caught In the halls where once he was taught. Now he scours and scrubs With the help of the rubs Of Ted Variames, Nancy Ruth, and Rod Short.

MARGARET LooMIs RUTH WooTERs JOHN SCHNEBLY SENIORS 19-40 U AINDI Hatchet Oration Beloved F a c u l t y , fellow classmates, parents, friends, and these aspirants to our present pinnacle of success, the junior Class, I hold in my hand this potent little symbol of power which comes from its monastic seclusion on this festive occasion. This hatchet-for, although it is more important than any ax, it is still a hatchet-this hatchet, I repeat, symbolizes the power and prestige of the Class of 1940. We received this emblem a year ago, not with a spirit of boastful bra- vado, but with the sole thought of doing our best to live up to the standards left us by the departing Senior Class, we have more than upheld, we have raised, these standards. This school has never known such excellence in all lines of endeavor. In athletics, we have produced a basketball captain whose record of points scored exceeds any other such record yet made on these grounds. Our dramatic ability culminated in that extraordinary performance, Big-Hearted Herbert, which was acclaimed by all critics untouched by that base feeling of inter-class prejudice which, I am afraid, caused some disparaging remarks to fall from the lips of certain juniors -need I name them? The annual which you will soon receive will speak more loudly than words of our journalistic, artistic, and financial ability. We have always managed to excel in academic pursuits. Some may claim that this is the result of our technique of carefully expressing all the pet ideas of our teachers when discussing any subject in classg but this claim is only the natural fruit of petty, jealous minds. VVe feel that we have made such a magnificent record-except in the minor matter of cutting study halls, where we might have used a more refined technique -that the Class of 1941 might just as well give up all hope of ever even ap- proximating it and remain content with merely continuing to follow the path which their mediocre abilities have caused them to take. However, since hope springs eternal in the human breast, we have reluctantly decided to allow them to attempt to follow in our footsteps toward the goal which we have attained. In order to give them some feeling of possible success in this truly-for them- impossible endeavor, we now offer to pass on to them this symbol of power, empty though it may prove, if some as yet not disillusioned young idealist will come forward to accept it without letting the prevalent cynicism and pessimism of our times stand in his way. PUQRRE NoYEs Page Tutntx si Junior Response It is with great honor and amazement that I ac- cept this revered hand axe. The honor comes from being selected to represent our Junior Class on this occasion. The amazement comes from the speed with which the noble Senior Class removed the diminutive cleaver from the pawn-shop where it was placed upon the return of the Senior Class last fall. I have listened wearily to the oration of my op- posing representative. I have heard his boasts of the Senior play, Big-Hearted Herbert. The attic was filled to capacity, but how many paid? Or should I say how many were paid? VVhen the play was fin- ished, the attic was completely remodeled. We may not have been energetic workers in the field of learning, yet, when the play, Big-Hearted Herbert, is but a memory, the Junior play, What a Life, will be a stark reality in everybody's mind. We Jun- iors always impress ourselves on the minds of our acquaintances. That accom- plishment is one of our outstanding qualities. I sympathize deeply with all the Seniors who have spent two, three, or six years here. It must indeed be discouragingito leave a school, knowing you will be remembered only by the subtle methods you used to skip study hall at two o'clock. I trust that we of the junior Class will not make it so obvious that we are not there. Is it really true that the captain of the basketball squad was furnished by the Senior Class? Oh, no! Indeed not! The captain was elected last year. At that time all for nearly allj of the present Seniors were juniors. Thus I refute my worthy opponent's statement that he was furnished by the Seniors, because he was furnished by the Juniors of last year. I feel that the Senior Class, which is made up of socialist reformers and ham actors, and the Sophomore Class, which is not made up yet, have greatly retarded the progress of the junior Class. However, next year, with one burden removed, we shall make great strides toward our goal, which is the endowment of an imposing prestige upon this little instrument. Perhaps, with a little school- ing, our Sophomore Class can be made to see the light and carry on in our footsteps. DAVID MACINTILLAN Pnqe T c rflty-.tram SENIORS 1940 U AND I Welcome Address For the past four years we have been the members of a high school class. In this role we have been like a troupe of actors giving a continued performance with University High School as a stage. We have worked and played together in the pleasant company of teachers and friends. The changing sets brought on by each new day have made our school life interesting and exciting. However modest our parts in the high school drama may have been, we shall remember only that they have to this point progressed successfully and that everyone has enjoyed his role. VVe all readily admit that we are not wholly responsible for the success of the drama. Every play must have producers and direc- tors, and we in ours have not been without these. We have taken corrections and suggestions from our parents and teachers, often without full appreciation of what was being done for us. Yet we are thankful for their excellent direction. Professional actors have little time to reflect upon the dramas in which they have participated but must look ahead to prepare themselves for other plays. So we cannot take too much time for reminiscence. More important it is for us to rehearse for what is to come. VVe shall soon take part in dramas similar to those in which high school graduates throughout our country will participate. Neither the plays nor the roles each of us is to assume will be entirely of our own choosing. The mood of the production will be determined by such factors as the economic, social, and political conditions current in the world. Will they be serious plays, yet some- what gay and colorful? Will they be of a disheartening nature, such as a con-- tinuation of the unemployment situation would be prone to create? VV ill they be of a deathly serious character, such as an age of war might bring on? VVhat- lever they may be, we wish to be ready to take the leading roles. Through ex- perience we have found that we cannot be both the actors and the directors. 'Though we have attained a certain degree of acting perfection during the past four years, we still cannot put on our best performance without directors. There- fore, we ask you, our parents, teachers, and friends, who have been responsive and helpful in the past, to give us continued guidance and direction in our future undertakings. We welcome you here this evening to the Final act of our high school drama, and we invite you to say with us Lights! Curtain! Action ! for whatever is 'to follow. ELSA PROEHL Page Twenty mqht Farewell Address Tonight, our high school career comes to an end. We have completed the first act of our play of life. In putting on this act, we have become better actors- better able to handle our own lines and actions, and in some measure more able to influence those of others. At first, our responsibility was not great. The parts which we filled were learners, roles which did not necessitate a large amount of effort on our part. Hut gradually, the demands on technique and acting ability increased. In keeping up with the growing dif- ficulty of our parts, we became more self-confident and consequently better able to work out our own prob- lems. At all times, we have had directors. At first, they were concerned mainly with teaching us fundamentals, but little by little, they have led us on to think for ourselves, giving us less detailed direction and guiding us toward individual interpretations of our roles. These directors have taught us everything that we have learned. We are grateful for their continued aid, because, without her inspiration and help, our unguided efforts would have been fruitless. In producing our play, we have learned the necessity for cooperation. One actor must not upstage another, each must help his co-workers to learn lines, and each must realize that he should do his individual best at all times, in order that his performance may not prevent his fellow-players from acting to the best of their abilities. The producers of our play have, of course, been our parents. They have backed our efforts, expressed confidence in us, and helped to motivate our gains in knowledge and ability. As Commencement brings the curtain down on the first act of our drama, the audience discusses the interest of the plot and the performances of the actorsg and they conjecture as to what the succeeding acts will bring. Backstage, the members of the cast are congratulating and criticizing each other, expressing confidence that each actor will be successful in the acts to follow. For, by defini- tion, a Commencement is a beginning. We have introduced the characters and laid the foundation of the plot. The climax and ending of the play are yet to come. So, parents and friends, we say farewell with you to the first act of the presentation of our life history, and we invite you to watch the succeeding acts. confident that we will be worthy of your approbation and applause when the final curtain falls.

They work on parts and routines which are less dignified and less polished than the presentations of the star actors, but this elementary training in the fundamentals of the theater is essential to their becoming well-rounded performers. An actor omust have a background of experience in all the dif- ferent types of acting so that, when he wins his chance to fill a role, he can give the interpretation best suited to a given dramatic situation. Similarly, the underclassmen learn through increas- ingly difficult courses, gaining a background in science, language, mathematics, and history. As they progress in their education, their increased knowledge and ex- perience make them better able to work out the com- plexities which confront them, just as the mature actors are best able to work out their dramatic prob- lems with the aid of their acting background.

I see a lone Figure emerging, He struggles to come up the Path- But he slips at a turn in the Roadway A bold and a challenging Figure And stumbles back into the Sea, That incites the Lightning's wrath. Then the Trio look below them And are glad that they are three To help when the Path is not easy And thus to gain the End, For no one can do what he wishes Without the help of a Friend.

Dwyer Murphy represented us on the activities committeeg and Warren Goodell, on the assembly committee. Our advisors were Miss Terry and Mr. Alstrom. Our Christmas party was quite successful. In dancing, as well as in refreshments, nearly everyone took part. The decorations were simple, but effective. Several Juniors participated in the Gilbert and Sullivan oper- etta, Pirates of Penzance, lending much to its success. The hilarious Junior play, Wlzat a Life, was performed with distinction in the newly remodeled auditorium. And then the Junior-Senior banquet fittingly climaxed a very successful year for the Class of '4l!

MARY ADALINE STAFFORD Page Thirty-four Pago T11 irty-ive ophomore Class History The Class of '42 has demonstrated well in its Sophomore year that great things may be expected from its members in the realms of athletics, social activities, and scholarship. We made a fine start early in the year by choosing Jane Jordan, presidentg James Gallivan, vice-president, Alonzo Hunter, secretary, and Stella .lean Lehmann, treasurer. ln November, we held an All-Sophomore party which was unanimously cheered as a great success, mainly because of the ef- forts of our very capable advisors, Miss Changnon and Mr. Skinner. At the Sophomore All-School Valentine party, which repre- sented for us the social climax of the year, we outdid ourselves in the matter of artfully-contrived streamer decorations. Bud Roder-V ick's orchestra, the Cohen brothers' special musical entertainment, and tasty refreshments helped to make the party an enjoyable event. In the field of sports, several members of our class deserve mention. Among these are Mark Hanna and VVilliam Englehardt in basketball, Mark Hanna in baseball, and John Dillavou in wrestling. Having thus completed our Sophomore year, we are now look- ing forward with high hopes to our future experiences as Juniors.

Freshman Class Poem Freshmen of Uni High, eager are we. For we shall be Seniors in '43. Hearts are all filled with ambition and hopeg Yet all glimpse the problems with which they must cope. Some will be chemists and conjure great things, Others in music will work, play, and sing. Some will be teachers, they're in a great field, A few will be doctors who patients have healed. Seniors and Juniors may think our aims high, But we'll let them watch till the time draws nigh, And then they will know, for they will all see That ours was a brilliant class-'43! JANE SEMMONS Page Thn ty sz: Page Tlzirty-.raven Freshman Class History At the first class meeting, the students, with a wise eye to the future, elected the following officers: Judith Moyer, presidentg Anne Noble, vice-president, Dorothy Jane Wright, secretaryg and Roger Dillman, treasurer. Mrs. Hess and Mr. Astell were elected as class advisors. The Freshman assembly program, with Margaret Harland as chairman, was very successful. It was pleasant, as well as aston- ishing, to learn of the varied talents hitherto modestly hidden by our daily associates. Outstanding was a humorous play acted and di- rected by a group of students assisted by Mrs. Hess. The spring party, long anticipated, was held early in May. The nautical decorations were much admired, and the music made good dancers of us all. The Sub-Freshmen assisted us capably by serving dainty refreshments. VVe may say that the Freshmen of 1939-1940 had a happy and successful year.

Class- PETER M OYER Page Thirty-ezghl ge T111 ub-Freshman Class History On September ll, we enthusiastically began our careers as Sub- Freshmen in the University High School. The lirst day, new stu- dents were ushered through the building to meet the staff members. That was an experience which was delightful and which also helped us to feel at home. The twenty-six pupils, thirteen girls and thirteen boys, ranged in age from eleven to thirteen years. Soon after school opened, we elected the following officers: Billy Jackson, presidentg Roger Little, vice-presidentg Jean Ford, secretaryg Alice Boulware, treas- urerg Dorothy Ann Price, representative on the activity committeeg and Robert Stouffer, representative on the assembly committee. VVe chose Miss Kitchell and Mr. Goodson as class sponsors. Mrs. Hess was the advisor of the group. All performed their duties very capably. The class has had an eventful and interesting year. As a cli- max to our activities, we served as co-sponsors for the Freshman party in May. VVe wish to thank our teachers for their patience in working with us this year. They have helped to make our Sub-Freshman year at University High School an enjoyable one. STANFORD S HOLEM CLASSES 1940 U AND I Assembly Programs The assembly programs this year were interesting and unique. Our assembly committee provided excellent entertainment. When john Schnebly introduced the new students and faculty members at the first assembly held in the fall, Shirley Roberts, a Sub-Freshman, responded to the welcome. Peter Scarseth, Robert DeLong, and David Burlison, our captains of basketball, track and Held, and wrestling, gave short talks on the coming seasons. The assembly ended with group singing led by Miss Kitchell and Mr. Kauffman. At our next meeting we were entertained by a few of our gifted graduate students, Mildred Brannon, Marcella Clifford, and jean Jacob. After our Thanksgiving vacation, a group of Ur- bana High School Freshmen presented a melodrama, Fireman, Save My Child. The students did an excellent job of taking our minds from our studies. From high school Freshmen we turned to university Seniors for diversion. Students in music and English gave us a program of skits, readings, and musical selections. Later the eight language classes presented the Christmas program. The students prepared scenes depicting the life, customs, and traditions of the Christmas season in foreign lands. The round of assemblies for the second semester began with the Freshman talent program under the capable direction of the Freshman Class president, Judith Moyer. Students presented or- iginal compositions, instrumental solos, readings, a tap dance, and a play written by Anne Noble. The annual U and I sales campaign opened with an assembly program. Staff members dramatized The Merclzant of Venice, a parody written by Pierre Noyes. Following this presentation the students saw excerpts from Big-Hearted Herbert, which the Senior Class sponsored at a later date. At the last assembly of 1939-1940, students received the awards which they had earned during the year. Page Forty 'fl ITI TA 1 'K i 1 Fage Forty-one While the innumerable activities which go on be- hind the scenes of a dramatic production may seem to have no common purpose and to show little organiza- tion, they are all essential to the success of the per- formance. Building sets, making-up, learning lines, practicing routines, manipulating lights and curtains, and performing all the other backstage operations are essential to presenting a successful play. Paralleling the work which a theatrical presentation necessitates are the activities which make up a com- plete educational program. Participation in athletic, dramatic, musical, recreational, and educational organ- izations is necessary for one to have a well-rounded personality, as well as a complete education. Because they add to our knowledge, and because they teach us cooperation, our activities in University High School have helped and will continue to help us in putting on our most important performances -enjoying life and getting along with others.

Senior Class Play The Senior Class play this year was a sparkling performance of Big-Hearted Herbert, written by Sophie Kerr and Anna Steese Richardson. The cast presented the story of a major crisis in the life of the well-to-do Kalness family. Herbert Kalness QWende1 Lehmannj was a hard-headed, fault-finding, domineering husband and father, because of his troublesome personality, he humiliated his family, one evening, in the presence of dinner guests. Mrs. Kalness CBarbara Holmesj hnally restored peace by turna- ing the tables on her husband. The Kalness family and its guests were excellently played by John Schnebly, Christ Katsinas, Jeanne Vawter, Jeanne Denison, Ruth Wooters, David Burlison, Wendell Winlcelmann, David Brown, Philip Anderson, and Ethel McDonald. Mary Margaret Gordon did commendable work as Martha, the Irish maid. Serving as chairman of the production committees was Doro- thy Anne Murphy. Mr. Skinner directed the production. His help and instruc- tion were essential to its success. arty ACTIVITIES Bottom Rott'-Evelyn Straub, Mary Sanford, Ruth Clifford, Joanne Hills, Barbara Boul- ware, Jane Burke, Jean Tracy.

Junior lass Play The Junior Class produced a play, Wlzat A Life, which was refreshingly different from the ordinary high school production in that it dealt with a subject with which the actors were familiar- the typical events in the life of an average high school student. In keeping with the theme, the scene was laid in the office of the prin- cipal of the high school, where drama and comedy of love and school pranks took place. The entire serious and comic range of events, which turned the principal's office into a madhouse where awe-inspiring judgments and rewards were pronounced, formed the background of the play. One of the largest casts in the history of University High School participated, under the capable direction of Mr. Skinner. Ruth Jacobs, serving as business manager, was instrumental in making the play a success.

In November several of the members of both organizations participated in the All-State Chorus. They were the following: Dorothy Murphy, Mary Sanford, Ethel McDonald, David Burlison, John Schnebly, and VVilliam Bullock. just before our Easter vacation the Music Department pre- sented the Pirates of Penzance, an operetta by the famed Gilbert and Sullivan. The story deals with a wealthy man's son, Frederic, who was to be apprenticed to a pilot, but who, through a mistake of his nursery maid, was indentured to a pirate. A complicated story unravels speedily, and all ends well. The boys' and girls' glee clubs furnished the music of the choruses. Several members of the glee clubs had distinctive parts. Stella .lean Lehmann, although only a Sophomore, was a success in the role of Mabel, Major-General Stanley's daughter. Dwyer Mur- phy capably undertook the part of the Major-General. Richard Stouffer gave an excellent performance in the portrayal of Frederic. Others who figured prominently were the following: David Burli- son, the Pirate King, David MacMillan, Sergeant of Police, Wil- liam Bullock, Samuel, Mary Sanford, Piratical Maid-of-all-workg and Mary Margaret Gordon, Ethel McDonald, and Margaret Loomis, General Stan1ey's daughters. Miss Kitchell, Mr. Kauffman, and the student teachers should be commended for their work. Mr. Skinner, Miss Marshall, Miss Dickie, Miss Zilly, and Miss Hansen aided in making the operetta a success. After presenting the operetta, the glee clubs began work for the County Music Festival. All members of the clubs participated in the event. The glee clubs enjoyed the work this year and hope that the future organizations will continue to derive pleasure from their music.

Late in April the entire organi- zation participated in the County Music Festival. lts last function of the year was its presentation at Commencement. This year several new instruments were purchased by the school. These instruments were loaned to pupils who were inter- ested in them and who qualihed successfully.

The chief desire of the members of the organization was to become acquainted with the more familiar musical compositions. The main portion of the time was spent in listening to recordings of many different selections, and part of the periods was used to discuss well-known composers and contemporary musical artists. Later in the year the group listened to a few recordings of popular music. From all of the meetings, which were conducted exactly as the members wished them to be, the girls gained a great deal of information which they desired and which they can use advantageously many times in the future.

P hyllis Dahlrnan Page F0l'fj l'I.gllt age Forty-nine Girls, Athletic Association The Girls' Athletic Association, popularly referred to as the G.A.A., has been a very active organization this year. Miss Mar- shall, the sponsor, helped plan many extra-curricular activities. Among the more important of the inter-class activities were the volley ball, softball, and basketball tournaments. In searching through old U and I's, we find that the G.A.A. was First introduced into University High School in 1933-34. At that time the membership consisted of thirty girls. Since then, the membership has gradually grown. Now there are approximately seventy-five girls enrolled, making it the largest club in the school. ln the fall the group held an initiation party. After participat- ing in the initiations and in the installation of new officers in the auditorium of the high school, the girls proceeded to the lower halls where they enjoyed a dinner and singing. During the winter the girls attended several play days. Per- haps the best attended was the basketball play day sponsored by the Danville High School G.A.A. Although this was called a basket- ball play day, other activities were arranged. The main purpose for which the schools plan these play days is to afford the girls from a number of towns the opportunity to get acquainted. Thus, the girls play with, instead of against, each other. The annual spring camp was held at the Danville Scout Camp on thetweek-end of May 17-19. Here the girls from all classes participated in a program consisting of hiking, swimming, nature- study, folk-dancing, sketching, outdoor cooking, handicraft, boating, games, and singing. Several girls won their G.A.A. letters this year. Letters are awarded on a point basis. A girl merits a specified number of points for participating in sports and for following health regula- tions. These letters were awarded in a special all-school assembly held late in the year. The aims of the G.A.A. have been accomplished if a girl is able to plan activities, carry out her plans, and participate agreeably with other girls.

Better Boys, lub The Better Boys' Club, under the direction of Miss Dickie, con- ducted an interesting series of studies. The boys held several stim- ulating group discussions on a wide range of subjects, including the study and application of good manners, good grooming, con- sumer education, healthful foods, social service, and harmonious living. In addition to holding discussions, the boys took a number of Held trips. One of these was to Overgard's clothing store, and ano- ther, to the Meadow Gold Ice Cream Company. At Christmas time their social service discussions were culminated by making candy and popcorn balls for the children of a needy family. The climax of the year's activities was a picnic held at Crystal Lake Park in May. The boys also prepared some suitable and healthful meals, ap- propriate for high school students to cook and serve. All through the year the group greatly enjoyed working to- gether. They felt that they had learned many things that will help them to be better boys now and finer men later.

Dramatics Club During the school year Mr. Skinner has given the members of the Dramatics Club valuable aid in several phases of dramatics. The students were given experience in forming an efficient staff for choosing, directing, and staging short plays and skits. They learned the fundamentals of set-building, property arrangement, lighting, and costuming. The club also read and analyzed plays and literary selections in the light of their use in dramatics. Radio dramatics was another of the club's interests. During the course of the year the club arranged several plays and invited the various activity groups to see its presentations. Due to the fact that the stage was being remodelled, the Dramatics Club was unable to present the annual Dramatics Night program. Never- theless, the activity group received a great deal of excellent instruc- tion, and though it was not able to display to the entire school its acquired knowledge, it is hoped that the students will have many opportunities to do so in the future.

Nearly every activity period members ofthe Social Dancing Club heard those words called by Miss Marshall, their sponsor, who vvas trying to help them follow the rhythm of the good dance tunes of 1940. As soon as the boys and girls had mastered the basic waltz, fox trot, and tango steps, they learned variations of them all. During each activity hour, various members of the club taught the other students a nov- elty dance. Some of the favorites among such dances were the Lemon, the Windmill, the Broom, Miss Uni and Mr. High, and Matching Partners. Square dancing was another feature of the program for the semester, and the dancers became adept at swing- ing out to Old Dan Tucker and to the Virginia Reel.

Bridge and Checkers Club The Bridge and Checkers Club proved to be extremely popu- lar this year. Under the direction of Miss Terry, the students par- ticipating in the activity learned the principles of contract bridge and checkers. The club accomplished the following aims: to achieve social adjustment and a social accomplishment, to learn coopera- tion by bidding and by defensive playingg to prepare an avocation useful in adult social situationsg and to exercise mental powers. At first Miss Terry divided the period into two parts in order to be able to give the club members instruction as Well as experience in playing the games. As the students improved in their technique, they played the entire period. Since this activity was started, there has been a continual increase in its popularity. ,.1ii... 1940 U AND l Bottong Row-Jane Burke, Kathleen Wilmeth, Jenny Lu Flynn, Ruby McCormick, Ruth lifford.

Industrial Arts Club The Industrial Arts Club, sponsored by Mr. Baird, interested quite a number of students-girls as well as boys. The aim of the group was to make attractive and useful projects by working with common materials. New materials were introduced, and skills and information concerning them were obtained and studied. The stu- dents were allowed to make their own choices as to the projects which they would undertake. Club members observed each other's work and learned the uses and limitations of the products used by each individual. There were a number of interesting articles made by the students participating in the activity. Among them were the following: copper bowls, all sorts of leather objects, plastic letter holders, wood and metal book ends, plastic lamps, and other plastic novelties. All of the students enjoyed their work. Page Fifty-fam ACTIVITIES Bottom Row-Carrol Wilson, Helen Anthony, Gertrude Schwalbe, Gwendolyn Smith, Gerald Gernon.

T pm Club As usual, the Typing Club, under the guidance of Mrs. Hagan, was filled to capacity both semesters. The aims of this activity in- cluded the following: appreciation of the personal value of type- writingg development of a knowledge of the names of the most common parts of the typewriterg knowledge of the correct typing technique g and development of as much speed and accuracy as pos- sible during the limited time. The students began their typing with simple drills, then learned to type words and simple sentences. Sometimes they typed to music in order to gain a good sense of rhythm. Page Fifty-j-ue 1940 U AND I C. B. . Broadcast On Friday, November 3, twenty-five University High School students broad- cast a discussion on Public Relief. The program was sponsored by the National Education Association, the Chicago Radio Council, and the State Department of Public Instruction, and was put on the air by the Columbia Broadcasting System on its WBBM outlet. The broadcast was one of a series in the American School of the Air entitled This Living World,'. The purpose of this program was to demonstrate the use of radio in the classroom and to demonstrate typical classroom reaction to various subjects. For several weeks preceding the broadcast, the participants, under the direc- tion of Mr. Skinner, studied the relief situation. They listened to speakers and digested numerous books and pamphlets, and they were given instruction in dis- cussion methods and techniques. Those participating in the program were the following: Philip Anderson, Barbara Boulware, Arthur Brock, Alma Bullock, David Burlison, Earl Finder, Warren Goodell, James Goodman, Mary Margaret Gordon, Barbara Holmes, Ruth Jacobs, Donald Kane, Wendel Lehmann, David MacMillan, Dorothy Anne Mur- phy, Dwyer Murphy, Pierre Noyes, Elsa Proehl, John Schnebly, Lee Stevenson, Richard Stouffer, Evelyn Straub, Margaret Thomas, Jeanne V awter, and Ruth Wooters. Mr. Ward N. Black, Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction, was chairman of the program. During the first part of the broadcast, the students listened to a brief historical survey of relief, presented from the main studios in New York City. In the second part, originating in the University Auditorium, the group of University High School students evaluated the historical survey to which they had just listened, discussed the situation as it exists today, and presented some ideas as to what should be done to improve present-day conditions. The students decided the relief problem is an nevidence of underlying social malad- justmentv. A general conclusion was that relief is one of America's more serious problems, and the responsibility of its solution rests with the youths of today. Page F fty s x Ll I5 :Er 'N AA sll ' 'AAA .....l Page Fifty-seven Every play is a portrayal, by living actors, of life as the play- wright either observed or imagined it. Shakespeare, the greatest of all dramatists, observed and pictured life with such keen insight that his writings have become classics. His works are immortal because he was able to distinguish the universal and eternally true characteristics of life. His Romeo and Juliet have come to be con- sidered as the symbols of perfect loversg the natures of Hamlet, Macbeth, and his other characters we recognize as being as basically true today as they were more than four hundred years ago. Shake- speare was truly a writer for all times and all people. Like dramatists, we students at University High School use our powers of observation and imagination, and we picture in our creative writing our conceptions and evaluations of life. As we grow and consequently reach higher understanding and knowledge, we follow ever higher standards in writing, striving always to create truer pictures of life. Perfection is our aim, as we say with Rob- ert Browning: A man's reach should exceed his grasp, Else what's a heaven for ? LITERATURE 1940 U AND I Final Exam Only ten more minutes! Despairingly I chewed my pencil and searched my brain for any heretofore undiscovered thoughts on geometry. None came. I remorsefully scanned the remaining ques- tions, hoping to find at least one on which my mind could function, or which I could possibly guess at by the age-old process of elimina- tion. But alas! In mathematics, knowledge either is or is not, and faking is much too easily detected. I toyed with a crack in my desk, hoping to find inspiration, but all I found were variously inscribed initials, hearts, and other symbols of affection, betraying long past romances. The slamming of locker doors, and the sound of re- treating footsteps made by carefree students, echoed down the hall. All of this cast me into a mood of self-pity and despondency. VVith a final dejected look at my paper, I handed it in and watched the teacher eagerly pounce on it. With that I hastily made my exit from the scene of mental torture. GVVENDOLYN SMITH A Terrifying Experience Many thoughts flashed through my mind as I stood there on the platform staring blindly into outer space. Could I make it? Or would I be just another unfortunate wretch listed on the fatal paper as killed in actionn? The sickening height made my stomach feel as if it were slowly turning inside out. Finally, after gathering up sufficient courage, I stepped-into nothing. I plunged downward at breakneck speed with the hazy earth seeming closer every second. My doom had come, and nothing could save me now. Suddenly, as if by magic, I was jerked so hard that I felt cer- tain my body had been mangled into pulp. Imagine my relief when I found myself slowly drifting earthward. All was quiet except the gentle rustling of the refreshing and soothing wind. Soon my feet touched the ground, and I knew I was safe from the clutches of instant death. My first parachute jump had been a success!

DAVID VESTAI, Death Slowly a dark figure separated itself from the darkness surrounding the build- ing and started across the moonlit area. Slowly, step by step, it came, haltingly as if it were afraid Of detection. Overhead droned the defense squadrons, while Occasionally the brief Hash Of a searchlight penetrated the dark background Of the sky. Suddenly a guttural shout arose, followed by a sputtering streak Of light and a deadly chatter. The figure jerked as if struck bodily and sank silently to the ground to lie in a pitiful, lifeless heap. EUGENE ARMSTRONG Page S tg LITERATURE Creation Poising his brush in the air, the artist contemplates. Then, with a quick, skilled flourish of the brush, he creates soft curves which blend into meaningless lines. Soon these lines take strange shapes. With a dart of one color and a splash of another, the artist brings more life into the canvas. A few hours later when we look at the picture, as the artist steps away to view it, we see a striking and brilliant scene. Looking over the heads of ladies and gentlemen, lords and ladies, we see an immense room with great, high pil- lars. At the end of the room is a balcony supported by tall, slim columns. This balcony, which has flags and velvet draped around it, is the place where the king sits. He is seated at one side, dreamily watching the dancers and wishing he were waltzing, too. Such is the creation of my friend the artist. JUDITH MOYER Impressions Have you ever watched the fresh green world after a rainstorm? The whistling wind hurries through the tree tops, and the wet leaves drip with silver. Soon the sun peeps from its hiding place among the clouds, sees the humid earth filled with splashing puddles, and glides majestically into a clearing. The silver leaves become a mirror of the gold in the sun's rays. The puddles, glowing with greens, reds, and blues, reflect the glory of the sunshine as they slowly seep into the rich black earth. A bird bursts into song, a flower lifts its head, everywhere the world awakens from the storm. Or have you ever listened to the wind on a cold, winter night and shivered with the joy of being alive? Everywhere the gray clouds have been blotted into night, and snow is Huttering to the ground. Inside, a fire snaps happily at the air, sending the winding smoke up the chimney. The glowing blaze throws shadows to Hicker in the darkest corners. VVithin, all is warm and comfortable. But outside, a ferocious wind tears around the building and through the tree tops. The trees, cloaked in white, wave their tapering arms, one, reaching out, taps on the window pane with its icy fingers. Presently a moonbeam breaks through the dark clouds, bathing the world in a beautiful mellow light and leaving us to think with James Russell Lowell, Whether we look, or whether we listen, VVe hear life murmur, or see it glisten.

Ben glanced up from his reading and started. John had been in the tower too long merely to look at the light. As a gull screamed outside the lighthouse in the darkness, Ben jumped. My nerves,', he thought and laughed, yet his heart pounded as it had from the beginning of the storm and of the darkness which had closed in. Better see if john needs help, and he moved toward the stair. The first step creaked as if in mockery of his fright. So did the second, the third. A gull screamed. He started. The fourth step was quiet, he heard nothing. Up, up. The fifteenth, the sixteenth. Ben stopped as a deathly silence descended. Suddenly he heard a horrible scream, and a body plunged past him to strike the bottom of the stair with a sickening thud. Ben was frozen, terrified. Then a splash came from outside, and all was still except for the fading creak of oarlocks. WILLIAM JOHNSON uandary When I look into your face, my dear, Often do I think that you feel too The power which propels me near to you, Yet makes me stand apart in awe and fear. Often do I wish that you could hear The joy that beats within my heart so trueg But then I pause to think that maybe you Would deem my adoration foolish, not sincere. So, after all, I am content to hold My secret tightly locked within my heart, To love you silently, to share unknown Your joys and woes. For if I were too bold And told you of my love, you might depart And leave me with my shattered dreams, alone.

The Three Little Pigs QA.: cz Dictator Would Tell Itj Once upon a time there lived a poor, weak wolf. He was gentle and kindly and had a heart of gold. He loved everybody and felt very sad when he looked around and saw so much robbery, treachery, and cunning on the loose. All he wanted to be let alone. Now on the other side of the woods lived three dirty, treacherous, cunning pigs. VVell, it came to pass that one fine day the poor, weak, helpless wolf took an aspirin and some spring tonic to brace himself up and then went for a little walk in the woods. Now, when he walked, he liked to hum little ditties from an opera, and he would become so absorbed in his humming that he wouldift know what he was doing. Then, before he knew what was what, he found himself not only in the pigs' house, but also twirling aimlessly the dial on their safe. A few minutes later, MUCH to his surprise, it came open. Unexpectedly, the pigs came into the room. VVhat are youse doing in that safe P asked one, always looking for trouble. As the wolf didn't know what he was doing, the pigs began to growl. They crouched for a spring. There was not a minute to lose. This was a fight for his existence. Leap- ing from behind the safe, he tore into them, using nothing BUT his superior strength, his long claws, his enormous teeth, and his jaws of steel, while the pigs usecl brass knuckles, knockout drops, poison gas, magnetic bombs, sledge hammers, and hatchets. The pigs fought savagely and barbarously, violating all rules and even pinching. lt was a terrific struggle. But the wolf won by sheer courage. He tore them into little pieces to preserve his dignity and ate them as a matter of principle. 'Tll teach 'em to growl at mein said the wolf. He was beginning to feel like humming again.

JACQUELINE CORMAN Crescendo Standing before the splendor that was a cathedral, a pitiful waif in rags was rapt in the beauty of the moment. She listened to the church choir begin the Ave M aria. Slowly, snow began to fall. The little girl looked up to the door which was gained by what seemed an endless flight of stairs. Slowly, too, the little child began her weary steps. Faltering with the end in sight, she fell. There she lay at the door of the church, the snow clothing her in sparkling beauty. The Ave Maria increased in majestic volume. JOAN DOYLE Pastoral I lay upon a hillside while the breeze slipped silently past my face. It was dusk-an Indian summer dusk, when the air was hazy and redolent with the spicy odor of burning leaves. In a small valley was a farm houseg smoke rose lazily from its chimney toward a sky fast turning from blue to misty shades of grey. I heard occasional soft rustles from the barns as the stock settled down for the night. At length, darkness enveloped the peaceful valley in a shroud of silent shadows. Not for long, however, did the valley remain covered with black- nessg for soon a pale moon silently stole over the hills, lending an air of mystery and weird beauty to a scene of hush and tranquillity.

ELSA PROEHL Organ Recital From a cold, gray sky of lowering clouds, a raw wind Whips my topcoat as I mount the broad steps of the recital hall. Once through the door, I am met by the welcome warmth and restful atmosphere which pervade the build- ing. I pass through the quiet hall and continue up the stairways to the balcony. As the warm, sustained, soothing strains of the organ music begin, my eyes closeg and I relapse into a trance-like state-not actively conscious of the music and yet not wholly insensible to it. My mind does not function at all: I am not thinking consciously. I am simply receiving impressions-some from the music, some as they come to my mind from recent experiences. In my half-asleep state, I am forgetful of responsibilitiesg I feel warm and comfortable and rested as I relax and do nothing. The cessation of music and the rustling of coats and programs bring me to myself again. I Walk down the stairs and out the door still not wholly awakened-at peace with the world and with myself. The wind now carries a cold, sleety rain. As I push my way through it to my car, I face the uninviting prospect of another Week of conflict and exertion.

As he stood there, cap outstretched, I heard him cry plaintively, Just a nickel, sir.

DAVID BROWN The Suicide He crouched tensely on the edge of the bridge, hundreds of feet above the swirling, murky water, poised for his leap into eternity. Twice before he had stood thus. Twice before he had lost courage at the last moment and failed in his attempt. This time he would not fail, he would not think of it, he would simply jump! Yet the thoughts kept recurring and forced themselves upon him. His horror and fear of death swept through him anew. But no, he could not put it off again. Life was unbearable! He clenched his teeth and jumped. At once he was engulfed in the heart-rending, sickening feeling of falling. Down . . . down . . . down! He crashed into the water. His whole body was shaken by the impact, and racked with pain. He sank beneath the waves. The moon slipped out from behind the clouds and disclosed an ever-widening circle of silver ripples.

IVIARGARET LooM1s Why The Trees Lose Their Leaves In olden times, when the world was young, all the trees except the poor little evergreen were made beautiful. The trees grew proud, very proud. They even snubbed the animals. The poor little evergreen, though, was humble, and all the animals loved him. Then Hera, queen of the Gods, grew angry with the trees. She pronounced a spell upon them so they would have their leaves only half of the year. To the poor little evergreen she said, f'Since you have been humble, you shall have your leaves all the year. The trees cried and sobbed. Zeus finally had mercy and said, The last two weeks of Autumn you shall live in gloryf' That is why leaves are on the trees only half the year, and why the leaves are colored in the fall. CHR1sToPHER FAYIC Castle On The Moor Qutside, the wind was rushing past, as though it, too, wished to leave this dreadful place. In all the world there could not be a more desolate, forsaken spot than the old Scottish castle in the midst of that vast, lonesome area known as the Karnen Moor. Inside, all was damp, and a hollow silence prevailed. The vaulted ceiling rose high above the cracked Hoors. A row of ancient knights of armour stood with their metal arms upraised as if to strike a blow. Lightning zigzagged down the gray sky, its thunder roaring and echoing through the empty passages. At that moment a diamond-paned window Hung itself open on screeching hinges. A knight fell from his pedestal to the floor, leaving his dusty outline on the wall. The window protestingly closed. Without, the wind was rushing past. Inside, it was deathly quiet.

A small number of people engage in it for the entertainment of a large number. The performers are usually professional, their livelihood depends upon their skill. Their athletics is work to them, and they get their recreation in some other field. The aim of the athletic program at Uni High is to have as many people participating and as few looking on as possible. The par- ticipants do not Work at becoming skillful. In- stead, their object is recreation for themselves, rather than exhibition for the enjoyment of others. In this way, the athletic activities at Uni High differ from those of the stage: the aim of the former is recreation, while the pur- pose of the latter is exhibition.

Basketball Once again, under the reins of Coach VVillmer O. Alstrom, Uni High had a very successful season. In fact, the team made the best record, due to the fact that it won sixteen games and lost only seven. It was the first year in the history of the school that Uni High has won the first game of the Regional Tournament. Much of the suc- cess of the team was due to the large turnouts at games both at home and away from home. Members of the squad showed more team spirit than in past years and, for the most part, played bas- ketball to the best of their ability. Page Szwenty-four ATHLETICS The Season Uni High opened its basketball chart with two crushing victories, winning over Ludlow in the opener, 45 to 235 over Gifford, 74 to 8. The Orange and Blue of Uni High were hot once again as they ran over Philo, 42 to 16. Bob DeLong carried out the scoring assignment quite success- fully, racking up nineteen points. On the other hand, Pete Scarseth and Dwyer Murphy played a superb game on defense, rebounding under both backboards. In defeating Mansfield, 30 to 8, Coach Alstrom used three teams. After the first team had taken a commanding lead at the half, the second and third squads took over the chores and played on even terms with their opponents. Johnny Rayburn was high point man with nine points to his credit. Uni High swamped Villa Grove with a second half uprising, 39 to 13. VVith the score tied at 13 all at intermission time, the victors opened up both on of- fense and defense during the second half. Jimmy Goodman and Carl James were the Uni High top scorers, making fifteen and thirteen points respectively. Arcola was just another victim on Uni High's list as they were severely beaten, 38 to 15. Bob DeLong led the scoring with fifteen points, while Peter Scarseth and Johnny Rayburn collected nine and eight points respectively. Peter Scarseth's fine floor work branded him as the outstanding player on the court. After winning seven games without a defeat, Uni High was finally ruffled with a 47 to 32 defeat at the hands of St. joe, whose superior speed, along with its elongated center, was too much for the Orange and Blue. However, Carl James and Jimmy Goodman kept Uni High in the ball game until the final period as each of them made ten points. After a slow first quarter Uni High began to hit the hoop and came out with a 48 to 20 victory over Pesotum. Bob DeLong, Carl james, and jimmy Goodman led Uni High's offensive drive with five field goals apiece. Uni High played one of their worst games of the season when they lost to Carbondale, 26 to 21. Carl James, one of the Orange and Blue's leading scorers was forced to leave the game with a broken finger, thus cutting down the Uni High chances. Captain Peter Scarseth led Uni High with five field goals and a free throw. The Orange and Blue lost a heartbreaker to Arcola, 26 to 25. lt looked as though Uni High had the game in the bag, but two thrilling long shots by Arcola in the last thirty seconds of play snuffed out Uni High's hopes. After getting off to a slow start in the first half, Uni High gradually got up steam and doubled the score on DeLand, 48 to 24. Bob DeLong, Johnny Rayburn, and Peter Scarseth led the victors during their second half onslaught. Uni High was flattened by a one-man offense at Tolono, 35 to 30. Uni High played on even terms with the winners except in the second quarter when they faltered long enough to give Tolono a margin that it held throughout the re- maining part of the game. Peter Scarseth and Jimmy Goodman led Uni High with ten and nine points respectively. la e S 11 my-five 1940 U AND I Uni High and Mahomet engaged in a fast and furious game, which Maho- met won in the last minute of play, 38 to 37. Peter Scarseth was about the only bright spot on the losers' team, as he caged six baskets and three free throws for a total of fifteen points. COUNTY TOURNAMENT Uni High defeated Philo in the opening round of the County Basketball Tournament, 38 to 28. The victors had a battle on their hands all the way. COUNTY TOURNAMENT The Orange and Blue of Uni High were defeated in more or less of an upset by Sidney, 36 to 27. Jimmy Goodman was a high scorer for Uni High, with eleven points. Uni High cagers played their best ball of the year as they scored an upset over Sadorus, 35 to 28. Bob DeLong, Carl James, Peter Scarseth, and jimmy Goodman did all of the Uni High scoring. However, Ted Variames' great floor work led to many of Uni High's baskets. Coming back strong from the previous night's victory, Uni High turned back Seymour, 39 to 36. Bob DeLong and Carl James led Uni High on offense with fourteen and ten points respectively. .Uni High continued on the road to victory when they trounced Philo, 36 to 14. Peter Scarseth led Uni High both offensively and defensively, scoring twelve points. The Orange and Blue extended their current winning streak to four games as they barely defeated Farmer City by a score of 25 to 24. Carl James led Uni High with five field goals. They were behind, 22 to 17, but some great playing by Carl James kept Uni High's slate on the home floor clean. The Orange and Blue put on a belated rally to defeat Fisher, 26 to 20. Carl James, Bob DeLong, Peter Scarseth, and Jimmy Goodman shared the scoring honors. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT Uni High made its opening bid in the Regional Tournament at Fisher by coming from behind in the last quarter to defeat a hard-fighting Tolono out- fit, 38 to 34. The Orange and Blue were behind, 16 to 7, at the end of the first quarter, but closed the gap to 22 to 20 at intermission. Then, like a bolt of lightning, Uni High came to life behind come brilliant playing by Carl James and Peter Scarseth. The Orange and Blue had their season suddenly cut short by a scrappy, fast-breaking, Champaign live, 56 to 38. However, Uni High put up a great battle all the way, trailing only 22 to 15 at the half. In fact, outside of the third quarter, Uni High played pretty much on even terms with the victors. Carl James, hard-driving forward, tallied eighteen points on live baskets and eight charity tosses. This total was not touched by any opposing player against Champaign all season. Page S eveuty .wx Page Seventy-seven Personnel Peter Scarseth, captain of this year's quintet, displayed a fine brand of basketball, both offensively and defensively. Peter's leader- ship and determination will be greatly missed next year. Robert DeLong, high-scoring forward, was a good feeder as well as a fine offensive player. Bob's two years on the court are not to be mentioned lightly, and he will certainly leave a place hard to till. John Rayburn, the diminutive basketeer who transferred from Seymour, aided materially in the success of the squad. He was un- doubtedly the fastest man on the team and displayed a keen eye at the hoop. Theodore Variames will no doubt be remembered for what he did in the game against Farmer City, when he sank the winning basket. Despite his lack of height, he was a valuable asset. Carl James, junior forward, was probably 'the hardest driving player on the team. He averaged ten points a game, despite the fact that he suffered a broken finger. Provided that he keeps up his fine play, he should be one of Uni High's most valuable players next year. Dwyer Murphy, who alternated at guard with Ted Variames, is also a Junior. Dwyer has been on the team for two years. While he scores very little, he plays a fine floor game. He should aid the team considerably next year. T sq Other members of the squad were Wendel Lehmann, Spearo Variames, Leroy Baum, Mark Hanna, Robert Graham, William Engelhardt, james Gallivan, Roger Tobin, Meldon Wagner, Mar- shall Greenman, and Alonzo Hunter.

Wrestlin The wrestling squad had another very successful season, wiri- ning several meets under the able guidance of Coach Willmer O. Alstrom and Assistant Coach Albert Lundberg. Uni High had several fine wrestlers in Spearo Variames, David Burlison, Jack Cummings, Robert Grant, and Charles Adams. However, in the heavier weights Uni High had men that lacked experience and con- sequently did not fare so well. The Uni High grapplers won three of their six meets, defeating Catlin twice and Uni High fNormalj. They lost to Danville, Urbana, and Champaign, however, these schools were much larger than Uni High. Taking everything into consideration, however, it was one of Uni High's most successful seasons. Page Seventy-eight ATHLETICS The Season The Uni High wrestlers pinned Catlin by a score of 28 to ZU. Robert Grant and john Dillavou gave Uni High an early lead. Then Spearo Variames, Theo- dore Variames, and David Burlison Won their respective matches to give Uni High the nod. The Uni High grapplers were turned back, 34 to 10, when they met Urbana early in the year. jack Cummings and Spearo Variames scored Uni High's total points on falls. ln its third meet, Uni High Won from Catlin for the second time, with a score of 28 to 18. Robert Grant, Jack Cummings, Charles Adams, and Captain David Burlison turned in five points apiece for Uni High. Theodore Variames added the other points on a decision. The Orange and Blue turned back Normal by a score of 31 to 9. Jack Cummings, Robert Grant, Spearo Variames, and Carl James turned in vic- tories for Uni High. Danville defeated the Uni High grapplers, 30 to ll, as the Uni High mat- men suffered six falls. Robert Grant, Spearo Variames, and Charles Adams were the successful wrestlers on the losing team. Champaignls wrestlers won over Uni High, 24 to 13. John Dillavou, Jack Cummings, and David Burlison won for the losers. Spearo Variames fought to a draw with Paul VVeeks in an exhibition bout. SECTIONAL MEET Uni High had only one man who qualilied for the state meet, although several of the other wrestlers won their first matches. Spearo Variames placed second in the sectional meet at 125 pounds and finished third in the state meet.

John Dillavou, a Sophomore, aided the team despite the fact that he was not a consistent winner. Jack Cummings, a fine wrestler at 115 pounds, completed his high school career after three successful seasons. Spearo Variames, a Senior, wrestling at 125 pounds, was prob- ably the most capable wrestler Uni High has possessed in several years. He placed second in the Sectional Meet and third in the State Meet. Charles Adams, Captain-Elect of next year's team, had a suc- cessful season, placing third in the State Sectional Tournament. Charles Pickerill, wrestling at 145 pounds, lacked experience, therefore, he did not wrestle in all of the meets. Theodore Variames also had some experience wrestling at 145 pounds. Carl James, a Junior, likewise competed in several matches at 145 pounds. james Goodman, a Senior, wrestled in two meets at 155 pounds. Richard Stouffer wrestled at 165 pounds but lacked experience. David Burlison, a Senior and the Captain of the wrestling team, had a successful season, winning several matches. John Hofmann, a junior, wrestled in the heavyweight class but because of inexperience did not win many matches.

The opening of the track season at Uni High was one of the most promising in years. One of the largest turnouts in the history of the school showed up for opening night practice. The season promised to be successful because many of the trackmen had past experience, especially in the dashes. Some of the returning trackmen were Jack Cole, Bob DeLong, David Brown, jimmy Goodman, Dwyer Murphy, Eugene Van Vranken, and Warren Goodell. A few of the new trackmen were David Burlison, Bill johnson, Arthur Brock, jay Gould, Spearo Variames, George Brine, johnny Rayburn, Carl james, Kenneth Snapp, William Engelhardt, Meldon Wagner, Alonzo Hunter, and Thomas Phipps. Uni High copped a triangular meet with Ogden and Mahomet by scoring 55 points, as Bob DeLong and Eugene Van Vranken walked off with scoring honors. Bob De- Long won the 100, 220, and broad jump, also he ran in the 880 relay. Eugene Van Vranken won the high hurdles and the high jump, he, too, ran in the S80 relay. The Orange and Blue took fifth at Farmer City, winning only in the relays. Bob DeLong finished third in the broad jump, and johnny Rayburn placed 'fifth in the pole vault. URBANA RELAYS Uni High made altine showing at the Urbana Relays, finishing sixth in a Held of thirty-five schools.

The relay team included Robert DeLong, Eugene Van Vranken, jack Cole, and Warren Goodell. Paye Efghtyeone 1940 U AWD l ----. -- Softball Uni High opened its softball season by defeating the Alumni, 9 to 8. Despite the fact that Uni High was outhit and outlielded, it clamped down when the going became tough. Uni High had little trouble in defeating Gifford by a score of 18 to 3. The winners collected seventeen hits, while the losers made only three. The victors played flawless ball in the field. ln winning over Ludlow, Uni High's softball team once again struck a new high as it mowed down Ludlow, 31 to 3. Uni High amassed twenty-three hits as three pitchers held Ludlow to only two hits. Uni High defeated Ogden in the opening game of the County Softball Tournament. Peter Scarseth limited Ogden to six hits as Uni High won, 2 to l. ln the seventh inning with the score tied at one all and the bases loaded. Spearo Variames walked, forcing in Bob Swartz with the deciding run. Uni High suffered its first loss of the season at the hands of Homer. Despite the fact that Homer defeated Uni High by a score of 6 to 1, the losers played commendable ball. Homer's speedball hurler held Uni High to only four hits. ln overwhelming Sadorus, 16 to 4, Uni High captured third place in the County Tournament. Uni High's bats rifled out eleven hits, while Sadorus was collecting four. Playing one of its best games of the season, Uni High bowled over Crescent City, 10 to 0. Supported by superb fielding and consistent hitting, Peter Scar- seth pitched one of the most brilliant games of his career, allowing only four hits. Uni High completed its most successful softball season by defeating Tolono 13 to 5. While winning with considerable ease, its playing was rather erratic. Uni High made thirteen hits, and Tolono made four. UHIIHEII' This past season Uni High enjoyed its most successful softball season, win- ning seven of its eight games. Uni High took third place in the County Tourna- ment, losing to Homer in the semi-finals.

Among the other players were Mark Hanna, Dwyer Murphy, Jack Cole, Oren Cogswell, Leroy Baum, and Carl james. f Pago E JI t3 t Page Eighty-three Intramural During the past year there were several tournaments that af- forded a great amount of competition. The table tennis tourney included participants from the Fresh- man Class. After many exciting contests, Marshall Greenman Hn- ally was acclaimed the winner. An interclass basketball tournament was held after the basket- ball season was completed. The juniors played the Sophomores in the final game and emerged victorious. Under the able guidance of student teachers, archery was added to the list of intramural activities this year. The physical education student teachers gave a demonstration at one of the meetings of the Parent-Teacher Association. The outstanding intramural tournament in the spring was the tennis tournament. Also, teams were picked to play against other schools throughout the state. All students had an opportunity to engage in swimming on Saturday mornings. .ATHLETICS . 1940 U AND I Page Eighty-four ?

When playgoers wanted to learn what type of drama was being presented, they would look at the Hag above the dome of the Globe Theater. If the Hag was red, they expected comedyg and, if black, they prepared themselves for an evening of tragedy. If we use the definition of comedy which states that it is a drama which brings the plot concerning the main characters to a happy conclusion, we may say that University High School has its red flag. VVe re- fer, of course, to the consistently satisfactory and often outstanding records which graduates have made in higher education and in living. It is by this Hflagv that the world knows what to expect of University High School students. just as the red flag advertised a play with a happy ending, the fine records of former students advertise the fact that University High graduates have a good chance to be successful and happy.

Our parents and teachers began the round of activities by holding a get-acquainted hour at the lirst meeting, held in October. One of the out- standing presentations during the year was a demonstration given by the students taking physical education. Another of the programs consisted of a Christmas pageant presented by the language classes. Following the presentation, the social committee served refreshments in the lower corridor. During the two weeks preceding our Christmas vacation, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the beautifully decorated tree which our parents placed in the first floor corridor. The Athletic Supper, given in March, was sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Association. Those who attended will long remember that gala evening. Thank you, parents and teachers, for the guidance you have given us this year. Good luck in the future to the Parent-Teacher Association. Compliments ot A. FI D E R Plumbing and Heating assi 202 S.

Wendel Lehmann: It depends on what you're doing. You can take it as an elementary conception that when an article is sold, it goes to the buyer,', said Mrs. Wilson in the economics class. With the exception of coal, chirped Ethel McDonald. And why coal P asked Mrs. Wil- son. When that's bought, it goes to the cellar.

ADVICE TO ALL YOUNG MEN There came into my heart one day An angel who, though pressed to stay, Departed, and by me was seen no more. Her eyes, two pools of azure blueg I-Ier cheeks, two roses redg Yet only one in love with her Could look into those eyes and read within The message which this lovely creature Brought to Earth. It was, Beware of females, one and all, They cause all sorts of troubleg And if you fall in love with one, Your troubles merely double. Jlforal-Catch one if you can!
