From out this soul there throbs a call, When green blades shoot and robins dart, Or brown leaves drop for Winter’s shawl,— 0, School, thou hast a living heart! Through long, dark days or blackest night, When thunders roll and black clouds fly, Thy inspiration gives us light To guide and lift our thoughts on high. Thy empty stairs and vacant halls Make echo through the coming years: We read life’s message on thy walls,— Who says thou hast naught else but ears?

Hoping that we have continued this work successfully, and that we have made this book express the true meaning of the name it bears, we present to our readers the eleventh volume of the Rosemary.

P. JOHNSON, Superintendent of Urbana Public Schools. n J! 3: HEN the human voice is sounded in the presence of a well- tuned piano, the piano strings, capable of vibrating the same number of times per second as the vocal cords and thus having the same pitch, will vibrate in sympathy with the voice. If the voice is pitched at middle C and sounded near the piano, the middle C string of the piano will respond to the voice by vibrating, hence givng the same pitched tone as that produced by the voice. The piano string responds to its own pitch kind. The human mind also responds to such impulses, standards, and ideals as it is capable of giving out. The mind is appealed to, and re- sponds to, its own quality kind. The piano string may be adjusted so as to change its pitch and to respond by vibrating sympathetically to dif- ferently pitched voices. So, too, our minds may be developed and trained in such a way that they will respond sympathetically to different impul- ses, standards, and ideals. The high school period is the most opportune time in life to do this developing and training. How important it is, then, that we so develop and train our minds that they will respond sympa- thetically only to the most wholesome impulses, the best standards, and the highest ideals. A. P. Johnson. :c « x x X :: x x x x 3t x X 3: x s: x 3: x xix 3: s: ss 3: x x 3: (Ten) Rosemary M. L. FLANINGAM Principal of Urbana High School. OBSERVATION NY system of education must be wrong that unfits men and women for the positions the great mass of the peo- ple must occupy. Teach the boys and girls in our high schools that those who attend well to the work they are capable of doing are by no means making a failure of life. Then we will not be kept out of the pulpit, the bar will not be crowded with “pettifoggers” and medicine with “quacks.” Men will then learn that there is more real value in Illinois soil than in wild specula- tions in stocks, petroleum and gold dust; glow worms will then cease trying to be stars and bats will not assume to be eagles, aiming at the sun and lighting in the mud. Be- cause of these false aims, many men refuse to do anything unless they can make a terrible stir. They say, “I am a patriot and willing to die for my country, provided I may be a general; my heroism works only under shoulder straps.” Teach, that wealth and office are generally accidents; that there are thousands of poor men in the world not half so mean as some million- aires whose names are quite familiar; that the man who succeeds in going to Congress is often a more unhappy and meaner man than the one he defeated; that kingly titles and princely wealth are often the fortune of knaves and simpletons and are no evidences of superior worth or mind. That system of education is best which teaches us to strive with a purpose of honest gain and promotion, rather than to wake up some day after a Rip Van Winkle sleep and find ourselves rich and famous. Too many are dreaming dreams of romantic scenes of happiness, roman- tic deeds of loveliness, talking and writing of noble aspirations and lofty purposes, and then when they come to walk along the real path of life, how sadly their hopes are blighted and fairy dreams dissipated. The pam- pering of feverish ambition on the part of over indulging parents and sycophant teachers has something to do with creating this false ambition on the part of so many of our young. Finally I would have the pupils of Urbana High School never con- tent in idleness and wrong doing. I would have them qualified for the v highest positions and at the same time happy and efficient with the or- dinary allotments of life. Then if circumstances or the voice of the people should call them to high positions, they may, like Cincinnatus, pass from the plow to the summit of national honor with grace with dignity and success.

In appearance, it seemed to be worth twice the price. It was shiny and black as a crow, And best of it was its patent device— It had a self-starter, you know. S? :: It was raining quite hard the very next day; In my hurry, I scarcely could wait To gather my books and start on my way With my patented one ninety-eight. While crossing the street at a real muddy place, All at once, without warning or sound, I felt myself wrapped in a cold, damp embrace; Hooks and papers all fell to the ground. Up it went, down it came fifty times more or less, My umbrella was surely insane; Others laughed, the fun was all theirs, I confess, As it rained and continued to rain. So dropping and dripping with sighs and with frowns, I ended my journey at last; I am sure in that hour 1 had more ups and downs Than in all the four school years just passed. I rushed to my classes as cross as a bear, I barely escaped an excuse; 1 made this decision right then and right there, For these quick-rising things, I'd no use. A self-starter is good if it starts the right way, A bargain is sometimes just fine, But good looks and swiftness oft’times do not pay They faill when the sun doesn’t shine. If rising is easy, then easy the fall. Quite clearly 'tis proven by test,— The one who is steady ranks first of them all, Hard climbing is surely the best.

In each coun- try, the power of the ruler is limited to a greater or less de- gree. He may hold this position through birth, power, or through choice by his fellowmen. The first and second are the most usual and constitute the class of kings and emperors. The third method, by selection, is characteristic of a republic. The despotic rule of kings has almost passed away. At one time, Frederick the Great of Prussia had a cabinet, but if any of his officers did any thing contrary to his wishes, he was liable to receive a severe chastise- ment from the cane of the ruler. The Sultan of Turkey has much more power, politically, than the kind of England or any of the other reigning kings at the present time. Now, kings are but little more than expensive ornaments to society or a charm for holding the people true to their government. Many of them are so only in name, and were the kings to be replaced by men elected by the people, they would be republics in every sense of the word. The presidents of republics cannot be said to be rulers, but leaders, and this constitutes the most important position that any individual can hold. The strength of this nation lies in the fact, that we have leaders who guide the thoughts of our people as they should go. But the highest officers of our land are not the most important leaders. We look upon these in- dividuals as the leaders of the country, but they are not. The real leaders are those who mold and direct the thought of the youth of the country. The teachers, therefore, are the real leaders of a nation. The large part they played in bringing about prohibition and women’s suffrage shows that they are the true leaders of this country. We welcome you, parents and friends, who have come here tonight to help us in paying honor to those who have guided us during the past four years. May we each show that we have profited by the lessons that have been taught us by these faithful and patient teachers. Heleen Mosier. :::: u :: y.:: y. y. 5:5 (Forty-nine) (Lite lutsemaru L. t? CLASS STATISTICS FOR THE CLASS OF NINETEEN TWENTY UST observe the Class of ’20! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! In action, how like angels! In appre- hension, how like gods!—they seem. Yes, so is their appear- ance, but now we will prove these facts by figures. After a long series of inexhaustible calculations and much revision, occupying such time as could not be used otherwise, the members of the Senior Class were found to describe an average as is now hereinafter stated. In numbers, they are truly astonishing, there being 136 names on the cradle roll. Said amount is divided up into 80 girls and 56 boys, which makes each boy “hen-pecked to the extent that he has the watchful su- pervision of 1.4287 girls on his path. Much time and expense were spent in determining the mean height of the members, but after much congestion of traffic in the halls, several fainting spells, new tape lines and much scaffolding, the average height was taken at 5 feet and 7.913 inches. This multiplied by the total number of members in the class gives the astonishing height of 639.514 feet or 7,674.169 inches which is higher than the Washington Monument by 83.61 feet. It would take any article 6.32 seconds to reach the ground if dropped from such a height and at the time of hitting the ground, it would be going at the rate of 188.312 feet per second. This rate is al- most equal to the number of times that Miss Graham “bawls out the average Senior in her American History classes. As far as the com- mittee on investigation can discern, the tallest member of the class is Tom Wilson, but on account of the lightness of the upper strata of the at- mosphere, no one has yet been able to ascertain his true height. The place for the shortest member is hotly contested by 3 girls and 1 boy. By careful weighing of the entire class on the scales at Palmer and Davis’s Grocery, its entire weight was found to be 15,348.3 pounds, which makes the average Senior weigh 135.81 pounds. This combined weight, when put at the opposite end of a lever only 260.8 feet long would raise our own beloved high school from its foundations. On a whole, the eyesight is very good, there being only two ex- ceptions; that of Hendrick Bode, whose eyes are weak from excessive studying and that of David Sharp who honestly owns up to the fact that oversleeping did it. The committee had much trouble in collecting all of the different colors of eyes. It was only on the 49th visit that they found Ruby Slough with her eyes open wide enough to derive their color. If all the different colors could be mixed together, they would form a most beau- tiful shade of greenish brown. By using 5 miles as the distance the average Senior can see on a clear day, the total distance of sight would be 565 miles. That is, that on a bright day, a man with such visionary power could be in Chicago and see what was going on on the streets of Wash- ington, D. C. The Class of ’20 also boasts of its range of ages. It runs all the way from 14 to 22. The position of the youngest and also of the oldest is held by two boys: Hendrick Bode and Dean Harper, respectively. Our class is proud to say that Dean is a veteran of the late war, as is also Howard Johnson, the second oldest in our class. Excluding our es- teemed valedictorian and “Tinee Stark, the mean age of this Class of ’20 is 17 years 2 months and 4 days. Including them it is dropped down to 15 years 11 months and 9 days. (Fifty) ®I;c Juisemaru :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: : :: By having members of the Class posted on the corner of Race and Washington Blvd., it was estimated that on the average, Seniors passed this point 203 times a day. This means that Seniors have had to go around the jog to the high school 203 times every day of the year. The total dis- tance thus covered is 941 feet 8 inches while the distance across lots is 943 feet 4 inches. Thus each Senior walks 598 feet 4 inches out of his way each day; or, for the 203 times that they make this route from sun to sun, it equals 121,461 feet 8 inches. For the total school year this amounts to 21,863,100 feet or 4140.7 miles of extra walking. Thus it can plainly be seen why the spring fever is so prevalent among the members of our illustrous class as the school year nears its end. Now by taking the above computations and multiplying by the total number of students in the class and dividing by the number of Eng- lish mistakes made by J. B. Casserly, adding Anna Schwartz’s telephone number and substracting the license number of Ruth Savage’s automobile; you will have the mental capacity of the average Senior in the greatest class that has ever graduated from Urbana High School.

Adrienne Jeffers, Class Poet. :::: (Fifty-two) ®be linsemaru HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF NINETEEN-TWENTY UST four short years ago, we were Freshmen! We girls en- tered High School with short skirts and hair ribbons bobbing, boys with holy stockings and unkempt hair prominent. How proudly we wrote, “The Class of 1920” in our Memory Books: how far off this night seemed then. We have done a good many things, in these past years, and the night has come to review them. We hippity-hopped our way through the first year, electing offi- cers, of course, and doing whatever else we were expected to do; but we scarcely began to realize our coming responsibilities as a vital part of the school. The Freshman officers were: Charles Gallaher, Edna Renner, Paul Bevis, Fred Werts, and Charles Goodpasture. We tried hard to win the Stunt Show, but the Seniors were the early birds, and they got the worm'. We received second place, however. Our bugbears were Latin I and Ancient History, but we shone in athletics and vacations. The girls reveled in basketball, and the boys, who will not admit that they actually hippity-hopped as is above stated, were our “football men”; four made the second team and one Orville Lewis, who has played every year since, was on the first team, fighting his hard- est for Urbana. Three ambitious debators won honors for us in their line; ten boys went out for track; part of those that remained had a base- ball team, of which Earl Rhodus was captain. The usual rather ridiculing attitude taken by upperclassmen toward Freshmen, luckily did not affect our enthusiastic, bombastic spirit, and we ran safely past this perennial gauntlet, coming out, at the end of the term, prouder than ever of our- selves and of Our Class. The second year we began to spread our wings and feel quite at home in our familiar surroundings. After electing officers at the first of the year as follows: Paul Bevis, James Cottrell, Edward Mason, Robert Pitrat and Grace Needham, we decided to have a Hallowe’en party in the new gymnasium. Then we settled down to business. We contributed 160 dollars to the Y. M. C. A. fund, sold 70 Literary Society tickets, were rep- resented exceptionally well in girls’ basketball again, and football, and, besides this, we had time to tease the Freshmen. We felt like real High Schoolers by this time. Our Sophomore Class was actually helping the wheels of everything to move, and our ability could not be improved upon. All went well until the second semester. Oh, how our spirits boiled! The class of 20% ’s from Thornburn was set down right in the middle of all our plans. We were in a terrible fret; we really felt that we were being unjustly treated in having this bunch of children—mere youngsters in our eyes—thrust upon our class and tacked to our wonderful beginning like a post-script. After the first shock was over, we settled down grumb- lingly to be more or less martyrs to the distressing situation, and our attitude, I fear, was rather chilly towards our new friends. That was the way we looked at it when we had the Sophomore brain and the Soph- omore high-and-mighty outlook. A summer passed, and, when we entered High School as Juniors, the magic was working. Though the 20| s affiliated themselves for the time being with the Sophomore Class, they belonged to us Juniors all the time, and instead of being like a bitter dose of quinine to our spirits, were a pleasant and profitable addition. Indeed, they were not so disagreeable as we had taken it for granted they would be, and as we look at it now, it has been a pleasure to rub shoulders and share honors with such friendly classmates as they proved to be. Mention may be made frequently of them in this history, because they figured so actively in all class affairs. (Fifty-three) CLlie l osnuavu This third year we were more or less disorganized, but we had class officers: Edward Mason, Dorothy Whitaker (a 20Vk), Ruth Gib- son, Vera Kuebler, and Grace Needham. Several of our members were try- ing to be Juniors and Seniors at the sante time, and in the middle of the year, we didn’t know to which group they belonged, but without dispute, silently, gradually, they were gathered into the Senior fold, and thus it was that some of the stars fell from the 1920 sky: Harriet Gill, Olive Wisthuff, Mary Snodgrass, Charles Noyes. Katherine Dennis, and Elizabeth Boggs. We Juniors supported the United States War Work campaign loy- ally, contributing 355 dollars, and leading the school in contributions as usual. We were well represented and took the initiative in the athletic, dramatic, and musical activities of the school also. Some of us decorated the Senior Commencement stage a year ago, and as we put things here and there, we thought of our past “three years of leadership”, and dreamed of the next year that should be one of “glorious achievement.” Only one more year before we would graduate! W’hat a lot there was to be done in those short nine months! After electing Senior officers: Clarence Smith, Everett Parmelee, Dorothy Palmer, Homer Greer, and Helen Mosier, who later resigned, we were caught up in the swirl of Senior “doings”. We fairly spun in the midst of committees, from one thing to another, sometimes two or three things at a time. We con- cocted and staged, under Miss Gilmore’s and Miss McHarry’s directions, a stunt, called “Under Cover ’, in which Ida Pollitt took the leading role. All the organizations pivoted on the Senior Class: all the Literary Society officers, most of Alpha Sigma Rho, nearly all of the Hi-Y personnel, three- fourths of All Round Club officers, five of the Varsity debaters, and ten- thirteenths of the Echo staff were Seniors. Lewis, Schuster, Rhodus, Lyons, Garner, Phillips, Lincicome and Sharp helped do up the school football work and all of the original basketball team was composed of Senior boys: Parmelee, Gardner, Johnson, Greer, and Garrison, being the members. You can hardly imagine how things did hum when the Seniors took hold. The Junior-Senior masquerade party was a feature of the year, and all the Senior revelers at least, remembered to defy the proverbial dignity of upper classmen. This involves a secret, but we will let you in on it. Ne were defiant not only at the party: that dignity which has been handed down by our ancestor-Seniors to be taken up again by oncoming generations, we have kept tucked away nobody-knows-were all year long, and if the Juniors want it for next year, they may go after it, and welcome. We have had several “spells” this year; one day was for wearing pigtails; another for gym shoe promenade; another for lisping; another for coatless or overalled boys and house-aproned girls; and through these “spells”, we have become more friendly, I think, and more appreciative of loyal classmates. The 20VVs are included in “loyal classmates”, for they are staunch patriots, and cannot be distinguished now as branded ones; long since the girls began to turn their hair up, and the boys began to pull their knicker-bockers down, just as the others in Our Class were doing; they are indeed a part of us now, even though some are so brilliant that they are almost apart from us: Hendrick Bode, Heleen Mosier, and Ivan Davis, for instance. Our impression as individuals, as we thus review our four happy years with the best of teachers, the best of friends, and the best of every- thing, probably is many-sided and many-colored, according to our dif- ferent natures; but I feel confident that all of us can see, in the same glow- (Fifty-four) s:u j; ®l{e Knsentaru a j: s: s: ::}-. « :: s::::: s: j: ing light, one side of this varicolored prism, on which is reflected the in- genious and indomitable, versatile and persevering spirit of Our Class that will cling to us from now on, if we but cling to it. To keep this spirit new, we need only to gaze back into the review of our High School life, this beautiful prism that we have unveiled tonight. A. Grace Needham. JJ y. ): 5.' (Fiftv-fivc) tHIfe 3Rnsmnaru LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1920 3ON behalf of my most honorable client, Her Majesty, “The Class of 1920,” of the Royal domain of Urbana High School, of the city of Urbana, in the state of delirium tremens, U. S. A., I hereby present this last will and testament from her dying hand to be filed on the books of Urbana Castle on the evening of June 4, 1920 A. D. Owing to the intense agitation and general disturbance of the grey matter supposed and understood to be in her highnesses’ upper cavity, but which is, in fact, of rather hard substance, reminding one of an ele- phant, she begs me to state for her that she might possibly have made a great mistake in her inventory (which is permissible) and overlooked some of the very small trinkets which she has been collecting for the last four years. She desires of me, also, to state that she wishes to leave these afore-mentioned articles, to the “Royal Duke, The Junior class,” “The Earl of Sophomore” and the “Royal Jester, Mr. Freshman”; and she hopes that no one of these three will be so unkind as to ask for these valuables, if she overlooks them, after she has tried for three long years to bring them up, their royal highnesses, properly. However, such a small minor mistake as this should be overlooked; and as a result of this, she hopes there will be no ill feelings on account of any mistake on her part. But all these things, which she has or thinks she has, she hereby gives solemnly into the possession of others, praying and hoping that they will accept them as a sacred trust from one who is not dead, but sleeping. Hhear then, all ye who have ears and ear trumpets, the following parchment, duly drawn down and sworn to. I, Her Royal Highness, “The Class of 1920,” about to depart for ever from this dear old block of Knowledge, in full possession of foolish- ness, crammed note books, pockets and least of all heads, exceeding all bounds, being of unsound intellect, mind and memory, that is, insane, do make, publish and deny this my last will and testament, annulling all former and later wills, in manner following, that is to say:— First: I self appoint, Justice of Peace, Miletus LaFayette Flanin- gam, of the city of Urbana as administrator of my large estate. Second: I hereby authorize my administrator to cause all debts contracted by me, and all funeral expenses contracted by the School Board, to be paid by him and the Junior class from out of their respective coffers. Third: I hereby bequeath the originality and progressiveness of the class of “1920” to His Royal Duke, The Junior class, qualities which they can neither surpass nor equal. Fourth: I hereby bequeath all cuds of gum stuck to the bottom of the seats in the auditorium, to their occupants next year, providing they chew the same aforementioned gum for the fiscal year ending June, 1921. Fifth: Beginning now with the lesser details, I bequeath Miss McHarry and all other members of the faculty, who have had such a great hand in rubbing the greenness from behind my ears, when I first entered Urbana Castle in 1916, to the proper raising of future senior classes, until doomsday. Sixth: I hereby will a part of Coach Coleman’s bashfulness to any next year freshman. Seventh: To Captain Roy Miller, Kenneth Smith and Charles Webber, I bequeath the football ability of Captain Orville Lewis, Earl Rhodus, David Sharp, and Hendrik Bode. {Fifty-six) :: 5: 5; y a y y y y :: y y y. yyyy y y y y ®he Ivuscmary j: j: « z :: z y :::: : y 5: 5: y y. y :: y y y y. Eighth: I hereby bequeath the basketball ability of Capt. Paul Gardner, Homer Garrison, Homer Greer, Alvin Clark and Paul Stanley to Floyde Sperry, Roy Kelly, and Harry Rhodes.

Thirteenth: The upper seats in the physic’s class-room are be- queathed by Kathryn Stanley, Willa Hamlin, Leonard Hank and Virgil Schuster to their occupants from next year’s senior class, so they will be able to get above seventy-five in that subject. Fourteenth : I bequeath Florence Bayse to a certain Junior boy, providing she does not help him wear out the floor in the basement next year. Fifteenth: The Oratory talents of one, Ivan Davis, is left to any United States Senator or member of the peace conference. Sixteenth : The political ability, shown by Clarence Smith and Harold Lumsden during the past school year, is bequeathed to either Gen- eral Wood or Governor Lowden, hoping they will profit by it. Seventeenth: The power which Ed Mason exercises over Miss Ricketts when asking for an excuse is bequeathed to all future members of Senior, Junior, Sophomore and Freshman classes. Eighteenth: Martin Lyons wishes me to bequeath his flock of Chickens (being 99 2-3 in number) to Robert Pollard or anybody else (having no preference), providing he be the chivalrous gentleman that Martin was. Nineteenth: I hereby bequeath and impose Elizabeth Flom’s giggle, and Anna Swartz’s babyishness to any unsimilar couple of the junior class (no names mentioned), hoping they will be so unfortunate as to profit by it. Twentieth: We hereby donate, give, impose, bequeath and hand, a lemon to the Junior Class, this being our last chance. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto stamped my uppermost hind left foot and seal, this 4th day of June, in the year of Our Lord nineteen twenty (1920). HER ROYAL HIGHNESS, THE CLASS OF 1920.

HE tenth anniversary of the Class of 1920, Urbana High School, was held at the summer resort of Court de Volta, (prominent Italian wholesale dealer of garlic) under the unexcelled man- agement of his wife, the former Miss Esther Leming. The larger portion of her most illustrious class were unable to be present, their positions in the management of the world being of such im- portance that they could not be spared, even for this most important occasion. However, the following persons were present, as representative of the class: Pauline Hiller, Myrtle Fitzimmons, Matilda Glawe, Gladys Harshbarger, and Helen Bruner. Precisely at 3:15, the Royal Marine Band struck up the most ap- propriate strain, “Hail to the Nation’s Great.” Immediately following, the president of our beloved republic gave the address of welcome. The honored class members and the reception committee then adjourned to the dining room, where they were given a double treat. Not only were vast amounts of delicacies from all parts of the world present, but also the audience was delighted by the action of a new invention, which had been especially engaged by the Countess de Volta for the occasion. In the complicated mechanism of this machine, the numerous and formerly mis- used forces of nature were so combined as to produce upon a screen a reproduction of activities occurring at any spot upon the globe. As an ap- propriate application of its powers, the apparatus was rapidly focused upon the various spots at which the various members who were unable to be present were peacefully pursuing their daily life. Consequently, the following valuable record of the occupations of the class was obtained: Heleen Mosier is editor-in-chief of “My Lady’s Fashion Journal,” the most aggressive paper of its kind that is published. Marie Turner and Elizabeth Flom are designers for the publication. As might be expected, Harold Williams and Willa Hamlin have finally been deprived of their long and weary romance by Doc Aitken, and are now enjoying the fruits of a violent married life. Ervin Phillips has found employment under the ex-kaiser, clipping coupons from his Liberty Bonds. Ervin is sadly weakened by his over- work. Gordon Harding is corresponding secretary of the Illiterate So- ciety of America. Alice Savage is peddling powder puffs in a boiler factory. Among her regular customers are Luna Lincicome, Lucille Haworth, and Georgia Kienzle. Lloyd Phillips is salesman for a prominent shock absorber company. He is willing to compete his product against any private stock in the country. Earl Rhodus is acting the part of cupid in the latest show hit, “Mary Mumford, the Merciless MerMaid.” The chorus for this popular production is composed of Jennie Stamey, Lelah Waddelow, Kathryn Stanley, Mary Conkling, and Harlie Denhart. Grace Needham and Charlotte Beardsley are progressive floor walkers in a Chicago mail order establishment. Charles Gallaher, having found the turmoil of city life too harsh for his feeble constitution, has retired to a small village in Kansas. Arthur Gallion is sergeant-at-arms in the House of Representatives. Although quite hilarious at times, he makes a good officer.

Possibly this may be accounted for by the fact that she is leader of a new Anti-Tobacco movement. Elizabeth Archdeacon and Helen Birdsell are employed in Souder’s dry cleaning establishment. Louise Brown is a balloonist of nation wide fame. However, there promised to be a mutual disagreement when she landed in Flossy Huffer’s lettuce bed recently. Lloyd Martin is raising castor beans for castor oil out in Okla- homa. He always was devising some means of tormenting the younger generation. Mary Johnson and Myrtle McKinley are graduate nurses, operating in an orphanage. They are secretly hoping for a new war, in view of a possible romance. Janet Kinley is taking tickets on a trans-Atlantic air liner. Adrienne Jeffers is poet laureate for his royal highness, King Pesumbodig 1, of the Sandwich Islands. Leland Johnson may be found at any time roaming over the unex- plored regions of Africa in search of bugs. He may be recognized by his long flowing hair, very red cheeks, and his one glass eye. Howard Visel is a prominent tragedian of note. He is truly grand, especially so in his latest production, “La Mort de Spoopendyke.” Russell Jones is a construction expert and his office may be found on the 21st story of Sears Roebuck and Co’s, new skyscraper in Chicago. However, poverty is not the cause of his high living. Helen Ray is a rising physician in San Francisco. Anyone too scrupulous to commit suicide directly will do well by consulting her. Grace Hudson has acquired the reputation of a renowned speed maniac. She has chosen Mildred Irle as her mechanician. Alberta Johnson, Gladys Nation, and Mary Polk are employed as clerks in the A. and P. Co’s, store in Champaign. Edward Mason is local constable of St. Joe. It is a dangerous life for a man of such capabilities. Arnold McKinley and Atho Reed are twin anarchists of St. Louis. Dorothy Palmer is post mistress in Ogden. She has first hand access to all material for local gossip. Dorothy Morris is teaching the principles of Trigonometry to Savoy’s young hopefuls. Everett Parmelee is a cartoonist, wielding his pencil under the management of the Chicago Tribune. He is portraying the family of the Gumps for Sydney Smith, who has retired. Eleanor Perkins writes many of those scandalous articles which appear in the magazine section of the Herald-Examiner. Richard Crandall is village “cutup’’ in a small Michigan hamlet. Ruth Savage is a prominent grass widow of Savoy. Ralph Hopkins has succeeded in marrying a wealthy heiress. Hop is now the proud possessor of a bouncing little flivver. Theda Bara has reluctantly yielded her place of honor to Ida Pollitt, who is making a wonderful success merely acting natural. Charles Gammill is posing as pilot on Jeanette Kaufman’s private yacht, which is operating on the Sangamon. Ethel Silver, Ruby Slough, Elizabeth Stark, and Zelma Walker are enterprising stenographers in Montgomery Ward and Company’s plant. Lloyd Massey, after devoting four solid years to the study of Baron Munchauser, Don Quixote, and Jesse James, has entered the arena of law. Hendrik Bode has gained much fame as instructor of vocal music at Kankakee. Hendrik is easily discernable by the richness and power x x « E X ii X X X X x x x x x x x x x X X X X X X' X X X X (Fifty-nine) ®l]c Rosemary of his voice. It is really pathetic to hear him sing his beautiful soprano solo, “When the June Bugs Nest Again”, as composed by himself. Robert Woolbert has found a permanent position peddling cork- screws in New Jersey. Roberta Fowler has been accorded the honor of being the first woman president of the United Cigar Stores of America. She has wisely chosen Floy Edwards and Florence Basey as her bodyguard. Harold Lumsden has found a lasting place in the hearts of the public as a human fly. He recently performed a difficult feat in scaling the side of the Rev. Adams’ residence and eloping with his fair daughter Evelyn. He has even gone so far as to state that he was the only person in the world who was capable of accomplishing this feat. Ah, well, such is conceit. Ivan Davis is an enterprising butcher in Sangamon County. He is ably assisted in his swindling operations by Mary Hesser, who is acting as cashier. Homer Greer, Willis Atkinson, and Leonard Hank are running a bootlegging joint in Ogden. They desire as little publicity as possible, and yet a little advertising among the right parties would be highly ap- preciated. Homer Garrison was raising Cain in Alabama until quite recently, when he was sent up by the judge for five years at the rock pile. Loal Trees and Virgil Schuster are heaving coal on the U. S. S. New Mexico. William Kirby is amassing an immense fortune selling horse clip- pers to the Bolsheviki. Otto Lessing has achieved the high office of First Acting Ballast Tank of the U. S. Submarine U7. He deserves much praise for his high honor. Tom Wilson is hailed as a second Ben Turpen of the movies. Tom finally managed to become crosseyed by taking some of Martin Lyon’s latest quack Liver Eradicator. Leo Polda Rosales is a toreador in the employ of Sells Floto Circus. Paul Gardner has finally turned to manual labor and is employed as section hand on the K. U. T. He has evidently decided that brawn over- balances brains on the scale of wages. David Sharp and Lillian Coon are raising mushrooms in a former brewery. Harlan Congleton has achieved his life ambition and is employed as brakeman on the Wabash. He recently had the pleasure of ejecting Glenn Coon from his customary position on the brake beams. Clarence Smith is chief pound master in Mayview. He is now busy making preparations for the spring round-up. Dorothy Towle is an active undertaker, confining her operations to the small village of Rantoul. Her conspiring rival, Anna Swartz, has been heard to accuse her of being in partnership with Doctor Paul Stan- ley of the same village. Harriet Howe is a rising steeple jack of Washington. She has succeeded in placing a peanut upon the nose of the statue of liberty. Dorothy Whitaker is exposing the children of Thomasboro to her wiles as teacher of physchology in the local high school. Dorothy Schultz is jerking sodas in Honolulu. When her salary is increased, she intends to marry a native song and dance artist. Agnes Snyder is chief mechanic on a peanut wagon in Chicago.

Such events are commemorated because their meaning is a perennial inspiration to successive generations. In our own history the signing of the Declara- tion of Independence and the Battle of Gettysburg are events of this kind. These were great moments in our past. They do not become greater because of our observance and homage, but in paying to them the tribute of our reverence we become worthier of that past, worthier of the liberties which are our heritage. We need to be reminded of those events in order to be made conscious that those liberties were bought with a price and that they embody a solemn obligation and a sacred trust. In the history of the individual there are likewise events which may be called turningpoints. They mark the close of one period and the beginning of another. They are both a record of past achievement and a pledge of further achievements. It is natural and proper that at such moments he should pause in order that he may realize more vividly what the past has meant to him and what it may mean to him in the coming years. The class of 1920 has reached such a turning point. As we look back we see that our public school career has meant progressive indepen- dence and individual responsibility. In the grades we had little room for individuality or initiative. Our minds were all trained in much the same way. We had no choice as to subjects. The content, the manner, the place, and even the time of study was fixed. Our arithmetic problems might be all solved, whereas our knowledge of the products of Siam might be deplorably deficient, but this made no difference in the p rogram of the day. If it was time to study arithmetic, arithmetic we must study. But by the time we reached High School we were permitted to work under a more elastic system. Some could work faster than others, some had pronounced tastes in various studies and in High School we found an elective system and a striking absence of curiosity on the part of the teachers as to our hours of study. Their interest seemed to be confined almost entirely to the results that we could produce. We were expected to stand on our own feet. And as we prepare to say goodby to our old surroundings, we realize that we must in the future, assume an increasing personal responsibility for our decisions and our acts. But a further fact needs to be noted. In looking back upon the past years we realize that while we were encouraged to assume personal responsibility, we were not left without guiding principles and ideals. We were surrounded by an atmosphere of loyalty, loyalty to our school, loyalty to one another, loyalty to the ends for which the Urbana High School is maintained. In our memory there will always be inseparably associated these familiar halls and the teachers, who by precept and example, by innumerable acts of kindness and helpfulness, trained us in ideals of high character. We love them all. To us the Urbana High School will always be more than just a building or just an institution. It will live on in our memories as the home of cherished ideals. Within that home our fond recollection will always see the faces of those who were to us at all times a source of help and inspiration. To our school and to our teachers we now make grateful acknowledgement of all that we owe to them, and with lingering regret we bid them all an affectionate farewell.

But recent research bares the truth, And we must tell it you forsooth; For the truth is stranger far, you know, Than all the hectic tales which grow In fertile minds or man made plot,— Imagined tales, with mystery fraught! But we shall tell you whence ’twas got, And how it came to Urbana High In those olden days so long gone by. Before the white man came to dwell In Champaign County, histories tell, The wandering tribes of Kickapoo And Miami-Indians lived here too; The Pottawatomies set their tent; And, as the seasons came and went, Returned to hunt the moose and deer Abounding on the prairies here. Before Urbana was a town, They brought their people, settled down And built their tents near Main and Race, Where Palmer’s Grocery grows apace. A little further down the hill There bubbled forth, their thirst to still, A spring of water, clear and cold, A comfort to those warriors bold. Tis near this old historic spot That C. N. Clark has a business lot. When first the white man hither came With thought this Indian land to tame, The red men of the Kickapoo, And all the other Indians too, Bore keen resentment; then they swore That they of sleep would have no more Till they had driven every man Of white blood out of this, their land. 5g 3! 33 3t 3: X s: 3: x x x X X X JH 31 3: 3t :: x x x x :: 3: x :: 3:3::: xx xx 3:3: x x x 3:3? x xxx {Sixty-thrre) x x x x :: :: j: :: j: : :: :t x 3: « x x ;h :: s: :: :: s: « s: 3: :: 5: :: « :: x ®ljc nscntaru x x x x x x x The Indian chief, Chicagou, strove In vain; the white man throve. He throve in spite of trials severe, While ever dangers hovered near From every hostile Indian band Who treachery against him planned. Then, when Chicagou saw at last There was no doubt the die was cast, The white man must be made a friend, The struggles, fighting, all must end If the tribes of Illinois Were to live, and not to die. He gathered his chiefs together then And bade them bring both women and men To meet the white men near this spring, With Indian chant and tom-tom’s beat The ceremony was complete. They buried a hatchet as a sign of peace And promised all their wars to cease. They kept their word; and as time passed on Urbana grew to be a town. The schools were formed; the high-school too Was added as the system grew. One day,—we do not know the year,— So cannot tell it to you here,— Some senior lads from Urbana High Stopped at the spring, as they passed by, To quench their thirst. One kicked the ground And heard a hard and ringing sound. Then they one and all would see What this amazing thing might be That, burried neath the hard earth’ crust, Resounded thus to his gentle thrust. They dug it forth, and brought to light The very hatchet you see tonight,— Chicagou’s hatchet, ancient, old, Whose legend hath just now been told. They made it a “mascot” for their class, And decided it should onward pass, To each senior class as it came in line; And so it has, to this very time. But each class must prove its right to it By showing forth its powers of wit, In mental contest strong and bold, But not with weapons as of old. The classes meet by proxy. I, From the Senior Class do cry A challenge to the Junior Clan Upon this stage to produce their man, To answer in person for his class Before to them this hatchet may pass. {Junior Enters) Senior: Well, tell me pray, who ’tis comes here!

Pick out your man, Do the best you can And roast as hard as you will; I’ll promise you Without ado To give you a better one still. Junior: Hendrick Wade Bode. Until this very night you see He wore his trousers to the knee. For commencement’s proper elegance He needs must lengthen out his pants! He earned the first place in his class By carrying his books around in mass. His arms piled high, he trod the hall, His locker key down his back, and all. One called to him with questioning looks, “Why don’t you carry all your books From class to class?—not just a score!” Said innocent Hendrik,—“I have no more!” Senior: Roy Andrew Miller Roy has more “U’s” to his credit we hear :: :: XXxx::::::xx x :::: xx it x x it xx-xxx-xxx'x-x-x xx x x-x'xx xx x xx x x x x x x x x x :: x x x x x j: it: : x x :: X :: :: :: :: x x (Sixty-jive) :: x x x :: y. x :: :: j: y. « � x y. x y. x j: :: x x :::::: y.:: x x (Lite luiscmaru v_ ”9 x :: :: x x j: x x :s j: :: x Than any boy in high!

Junior: Mary Agnes Polk A polky little girl is she Who’s always late as late can be. It gave us all a great surprise To see her flirt with her charming eyes. In chemistry class, they do repeat, The teacher had to move her seat Where none of the boys could at her look, To attract their attention from their book. Senior: Marie Agnes Riordan We have heard tell, and do repeat She has trouble standing on her two feet. She doesn’t need an excuse at all Upon the ground to have a fall, In fact she can fall to suit her will, She can even fall down, standing still! In truth, you see, such a fall at best Might give her excuse for an hour of rest, On the couch, with a pillow, the time to pass, Instead of attending a dreaded class. Junior: John Paul Gardner “Is it blue, or purple,—say, Or green or pink or brown?” The girls in his class inquire each day When Paul comes wandering round. And then they try with all their might At his tie to get a peek; For he has a new one every night And one for each day in the week. For his basketball picture they do tell He had a specially made marcelle! And why, pray Paul, do you call it sport, To cut your curls all off so short? Senior: Maurice Brice Evans Maurice and his friends one day To the Orph did wend their way, Down in their hearts they were skipping. The play was so poor, It was a regular bore, So they amused themselves by flipping Their pennies onto the stage; The actress flew in a rage And threatened her act to be quitting; But ’twas only a moment before « :: x x 5: 5: 5: ” X 5; 5: :: 5:5: x x x :: x x 5t 5: x 5:5; TH 5:5:5;x x 5? sc :: x 5: :: :: (Sixty-nix) :: :: :: j: :: ■a a :: :: :: K 5: 5: :: j: it a a :: :j a :: it a it : it it it it x (LUe l nsentaru it s: :: it it :t � j: w :t k « � :: :: :: :: a :: :: a :: :: :: :: ;a 1� The manager showed them the door Which was perfectly fitting.

Junior: Anna Jeanette Schwartz A little girl, it is well known, Who’s this semester “Wilder” grown; Who bobbed her hair because it’s style, Who drinks “Green River” all the while; Who loves her dates ;and they do tell That she is of her class the belle,— For fear you do not get the sense Of this;—She's “Towled” for all events! Senior: Agnes May Manning A little girl with constant plea To all around, “Please look at me! The reason I’m making all this noise Is my desire to attract the boys Please think me neither bold nor forward, I’m so afraid I’ll lose my Howard! But while I keep him to me bound I want the other boys around; For I must be a popular girl, And always in the social whirl.” Junior: David Martin Sharp Poor David’s brain was in a whirl,— Alas, he could not find a girl For the Echo Dance; his luck was hard Until he looked at a certain card In the card index of all the school,— And then he took no time to fool; For the Echo Dance he made a date, And we’re not at all sure but he’s found his mate!

Evelyn and Howard ran, The votes one hundred one! 0, faithless Harold, how could you Remain that day at home? If you must be sick, you surely could Have waited another day! For Howard won by a single vote,— Because you were away! Senior: Francis Clevenger Green There is six-feet four, I guess, Of pure conceit, and nothing less. He has taken his turn at a number of schools And has found none yet where he liked the rules. In fact he’d come when he would you know, He’d be permitted, when he pleased, to go And race around in his speedy car Over the country near and far. He studies a little now and then; But mostly he is planning when And how much he can shirk, And how to get through with least of work. He’ll have to hurry, or we fear He’ll have to take an extra year. Juniors Grace Irene Pelzer In her heart reigned devastation Because she got no real ovation; Nor was she given approbation In any public declaration When, for mere accommodation, And without remuneration She furnished music on occasion. Because of this sad complication And her desire for veneration, She begged of us with no evasion To be given a roast in this oration.

But now I’d like to give a toast To the two whose services we boast Were given to our country. Soldiers true; None could do more than they did do!

Our class of- —-----tiers were elected almost immediately and were: President, Byrns English; Vice Preesident, Frances Webber; Secretary, Ramon Ma- guire; Treasurer, Basil Brune; Historian, Catherine Barr. Class colors were also chosen, old rose and gray. The football aesson came on and Omar Allman, Byrns English and William Shroyer represented us on the first team. The Freshman class began their brilliant career by winning first place at the Annual Stunt Show, a feat never before accomplished by any under class. The name of the stunt was “The Family Album.” The committee, who worked very hard and faithfully, were Stewart Wright, chairman, Harriet Howe, Catherine Barr and Richard Blair. Many thanks were also due to the coach, Miss Lowenstern. In the fall of 1919 we returned, promising ourselves that we would keep up the reputation we had won at the time of the last year’s Stunt Show. Our number had been reduced to one hundred and thirty-six. At our first class meeting at the beginning of the year, we elected our officers: President, Frances Webber; Vice President, Violet Root; Secretary, Catherine Barr; Treasurer, Esther Wilson; Historian, Ruth Hackley; Echo Representative, Josephine Boner; Faculty Adviser, Miss Price. When the football season opened, several of the Sophomore boys went out to practice. Omar Allman and Robert Pollard received their U’s. In the Interclass Football Tournament, which also took place at this time, the Sophomore team defeated the Freshman, but lost to the Seniors although they made the Seniors fight hard for the victory. At a class meeting, the Stunt Show committee was appointed as follows: Stewart Wright, chairman; Frances Martin, Catherine Barr, Eston Bigelow and Raymond Maguire. They elected Miss Ricketts as coach. The stunt that was selected was called “In Gnoman’s Land,” and, was cleverely worked out and well produced. At the first voting of the judges, it was a tie between the Sophomores and the Juniors for the first place, but at the second voting the Sophomores came out with flying col- ors, winning by a vote of four to one. The next school activity in which the Sophomore class played a leading part was the Interclass debate. Our team was made up entirely of girls; Josephine Boner, Emily Putnum, and Nora Null, with one lone boy, Basel Pollit, for alternate. The first debate, between our team and the Freshman, was won unanimously by the Sophomores. The debate between the Sophomores and the Seniors was an event to make the Seniors take notice, for the Sophomores did something that was thought almost impossible; they won by a score of two to one. They thereby won the Frailey cup, given this year for the first time to the winning class team in debating. When the Basketball Tournament opened, we were not downhearted at our defeat in football and went out with the firm conviction that ours would be the winning team. We were not disappointed; for our team, consisting of Kenneth Smith, Donald Busey, Charles Webber, Omar All- :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: x x : st x xx :: :: :: :: :: :: x :: :: :: :: ::x :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: x xx x xx it x it it it xx it it it itx x xx x x X XX (Eighty) it it it Jt it it :: :: :: :t' :t ©he luisentary it it it it it man, Robert Pollard and Allan Steel, defeated every team they played and won the Basketball class championship. The Sophomore party, March 13, was considered quite an event in the social calendar of the school. Since we did not give a party our Fresh- man year, we felt that we must make up for it this year. The committee that was chosen was Robert Pollard, Frances Martin, Helen Grimes, Roland Manning, Margaret Smith and William Shroyer. Games, dancing and refreshments were the order of the evening. At the party the Soph- omore basketball team received their ’22’s. Th girls came forward again in the Captain ball Tournament, and showed what they could do by defeating all of the other classes and win- ning this championship. Urbana High School was represented at the Northwestern Inter- scholastic track meet by two Sophomores, Allan Steel and Omar Allman. The former won first place in the pole vault. After having read this remarkable history, I’m sure you will say, “What a wonderful class is the Class of ’22,” and there is no doubt but that anyone would agree with you. We have won the Stunt Show both our Freshman and Sophomore years, and we have won the Inter-class Debating championship, the Interclass Basketball championship, and the Interclass Captainball championship during our Sophomore year. This certainly proves that we have fullfilled the great expectations and ambi- tions mentioned at the first of this history, in a manner beyond our wild- est dreams. Now that we know our powers so well, I’m sure we will con- tinue to astonish the students and faculty of Urbana High School by our strength in athletics, our brilliancy in debating, and our unusual talents in varioua other branches of school activities.

What should I say? I did not know, but upon looking in the paper I saw that Alla Axiom, far-famed in divination and foretelling was here and that he would see anyone either in private or public. It must be very interesting, I thought, and a bright idea came to me. I would go and ask him what to say. Not long after, I stood in the presence of the Mystic. “You wish me to tell you about your class, do you not?” he began before I had said a thing. “First I will tell you of your past. You entered Urbana High School on September the eighth, numbering about two hundred and one. You were as green as the average freshman class but, like the others, you soon overcame this condition. “Not long after, you elected your class officers. The following were chosen: Charles Havens.........................................President Virginia Thornsburgh..............................Vice President Milton Bailey..... Secretary Mildred Whitaker.......................................Treasurer Beatrice Watson........................................Historian Hugh McCown..................................Echo Representative “You gave a party on November the seventh. “You were well represented in football, basketball, swimming, cap- tainball and volleyball. In athletics you have done well for a freshman class; moreover even if you did not win but a few games you gave your opponents a good fight. You are justly happy that you won a basketball game with the freshmen of Champaign High School. Two of your ath- letes, Floyd Sperry and Roy Kelly, deserve special mention. “Your dramatic ability is shown by your act in the Stunt Show and by a short play given by the eighth hour English Class which is taught by Miss Thornsburgh. Now I shall tell you about a party which will be longe remembered with happiness. Soon after that you will have a de- lightful picnic. “Marked each with new achievements your three remaining years will soon pass by. You are destined to be the best class that has been or ever will be graduated from Urbana High School.” it it i: j: i: it it itn (F.iflht u-six) it it a it :t x x :t x '.t x x it x x x xix x x-x kxx k x x a :: x it it it •x ANTING for breath, Mary slid down the steep bank and just managed to keep herself from going on into the Silver Creek by grabbing the branch of a small tree and bracing her feet against a large stone at the water’s edge. “Goodness, what a time!” she gasped between breaths. “I thought I never would get away from the house without his seeing me. If only he doesn’t think to look this far from the house for me, I’ll be able to spend the rest of the afternoon in peace. It does seem silly to think that we quarreled but it was all his own fault. It will do him good to hunt a while for me. Now for this boook. I’m glad I thought to bring along something interesting.” She curled herself up on the stone and began to read. “Mary,-----Oh, Mary,” came faintly down to her but she resolutely ignored the penitent voice and tried to concentrate her mind on her book. “And the three men crept closer and closer to the unsuspecting soldier,” she read aloud in her excitement. “The first one clicked his revolver suggestively, and winked at his comrades, who nodded and resumed their stealthy approach.” Mary shivered and glanced fearfully about her. Everything was still, unnaturally still Mary thought and even Silver Creek was making less noise than usual as it rippled by. A frog, croaking near by, almost frightened her. She gave a nervous laugh to reassure herself and bent again over the book. “The men had separated, but all were relentlessly closing in on the innocent vic- tim. Suddenly a vivid flash of lightning lit up the sky, followed immediately by a tremendous roll of thunder. A blinding gush of rain commenced, and when finally the three criminals were able to see distinctly again, the soldier had disappeared. A spot of blood marked the place where he was last seen; and they found after a hasty search that their leader had also disappeared.” “O-o-h,” gasped Mary in suspense but the next moment the color faded entirely from her face as she distinctly heard twigs cracking almost above her head and heard the sound of heavy footsteps approaching. “Oh---------maybe it’s a criminal,” she whis- pered to herself; and trembling with fear, she got up and pressed herself against the rocky bank. Nearer and nearer came the sound of the steps and Mary’s heart began to jump unevenly. It seemed an indefinite length of time to Mary until the steps ceased just above her head. She imagined he was preparing to shoot; and in the next in- stant, all the horrible details of the scene passed with startling vividness thru her mind. She would be lying there, perhaps forever, for the place was seldom visited. Jack would not miss her; and, not understanding, would think that she had run away from him for good instead of just going to the back pasture in a silly fit of temper.— n x x x x x x :: :: :: :: :: :: :: x x x x x x x x x x x x x :: x x x x x x X X X X {Eif hty-xcvcn) :: :: :: :: x X x :: :: x x x xx x x xx x x x x j tTlje Itascntaru xx xx X xx x x x x xxx x Oh she would not let herself be killed so unrestistingly. She would give a terriftic, scream and maybe—maybe Jack might hear her—or at least find her body and revenge her death. Summoning all her strength she drew a deep breath, and—but the sound died almost before it was begun for as she looked up, her eyes met the laughing ones of: Jack. “Why, Mary Girl, what are you trying to do?” he smiled as he jumped down be- side her. In his arms she blurted out an incoherent jumble about criminals, a book, and her being dead, all of which he did not understand, but which made him smile with pleasure for they clearly indicated that the foolish quarrel was past and for- gotten. And the real peacemaker, the cheap little book, was left unnoticed on the rock to keep the pleasant secret with the little frog and the laughing river. x x x x x x :: x Alice Savage, '20. 'X' THE FALLING STAB M X :: :: :: :: x :: x x X x x x X HE other night I had a dream. It had a significant meaning, but was startling and strange and that is the reason I’m going to tell you about it. It was in short, a fairy tale. There was the Goddess Alva of Athletics, who lived on a trapeze high up in the sky, in fact so high that she was merely a star. She was very beautiful, yet cunning and venturesome. Her deep love for excitement made her decide she would hold a tournament for all the handsome young men of the earth. So she built many trapezes from the top of Mt. Gym to her home in the sky. These trapezes were so built that by a big enough swing one could manage to climb to the next higher one. When all the structure was finished it was announced all over the world, that the one who succeeded in this enter- prise could have the Goddess Alva’s lovely hand and like wise an immortal life. Each one was given a color to distinguish him, and, when some one succeeded, the star in Alva’s house would shine the color of the winner. The loser, as he failed, shot like a falling star across the sky. This was too great a temptation; hundreds and thous- ands flocked to old Mt. Gym and tried their luck. Again and again men started. The people counted as one after another the shooting stars sped across the sky. A pretty sight, but tearing the hearts of the people below for they knew those stars meant the dying of their beloved sons and brothers. At last fewer tried for they all feared their lives would be lost uselessly like their fellow men. One bright day a handsome youth, strong of physique and clean of thought, hap- pened to pass Mt. Gym where the people were counting the shooting stars. He had not heard of the Goddess’ tournament, and, when he saw the trapezes leading up and up into the sky, he was surprised and asked what the meaning was. He was told and also of all the poor men who had gone before him. He was determined to try, for all the bad warnings and for all the pleadings of the people for him to stay. But he persisted, saying he would not lose his life in vain; and they at last gave him his color of gold. The people stood by and watched with deep feeling as this great character climbed the trapezes. They watched him climb and climb day after day. He progressed slowly, at length, all that could be seen of him was his gold light like a small star way up in the heavens. Up in the sky the brave man labored hard. Many dangers he had on the way, great winds and storms threatened to blow him from off the trapeze, but he worked with all his might and all his strength and succeeded in climbing higher and higher. This man climbed higher until one day there was a great rejoicing on old Mt. Gym, for Alva’s house shone with the Gold Star of the winner. This man worked, X X X X X X X X X ;X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X w w w V w X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X (Eiphty-cif ht x x x x x x x a :: :: a a a a a a' a v £ a a a a a a a a a, a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a ®ljr {osrntary a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a strove and accomplished his great desire. Alva decided to reward the other workers who had tried their best and were still on the trapeze. So she let each one remain on his own trapeze. And now when you see a falling star you know some one has failed to live up to his high ideal and thus lost his trapeze. And when one fails some one: else who has noble desires is given his trapeze, so now the sky is filled with colored lights, representing those who have great ideals; but the gold one is brighter and sends forth its light in greater abundance than all the others. Francks Mary Knipp, ’22. THE THNRTEENTH FLOOR MITH was inclined to be nervous, especially when near an elevator. He knew every elevator in town was waiting for him to get into it before if fell. He would have walked up to his office, but it was fifteen stories, and he had a very weak heart. Johnston, the happy, contented, whistling operator, seemed oblivious to any danger. He shut the door with a bang. Smith never loved life so much as when an elevator door shut on him with a bang. He was the only passenger. Suddenly the operator stopped whistling and started a loud fast song. Smith almost fainted. He was sure the operator was yelling a last, despairing word of warning before the elevator fell. And then something did happen. Between two floors the car stopped suddenly, sighed, thumped, and stopped. “Dead!” said Johnston. Smith wondered why he couldn’t have used some other word. He began to quake. Looking wildly upward, he beheld just in sight the floor number of the next story. It was “Thirten.” Johnston was pushing and pulling the levers. “Lak a corpse,” he remarked. Smith shuddered. “Can’t you do anything?” he quavered. “Who can?” flared Johnston. “It’s de machine, man, de machine, de cyar, not me!” He stopped his work to wipe his brow when he, too, noticed the floor number above. “Ain’t dat peculiah”, he commented, “thirteenth floah, and Friday the thir- teenth day!” His passenger staggered backward. It was true. Smith began to remember the customary headlines: “Drops to Death;” “Plunges Down Shaft;” “Killed When Ele- vator Falls.” The operator gave the lever a powerful jerk. The car jumped, bumped, and settled back. “Active as a tomb,” said Johnston, as he stopped his efforts and looked at Smith. “Boss,” he said solemly, “has ys’ evah preserved how mystiferously catastro- phies eventualize? I jist recollected that I done went and lost my rabbit foot this yerc mawning. My brudder, Rufus, what works over to Rikes, said, his elevator acted jist like this de other day, an’ in about two minutes, it fell down the shaft. But it had air cushions on it, and he wasn’t hurt none. But this thing ain’t got nothin’ like dat. Oh laws, boss, suppose this thing did fall—.” Black spots gradually dimmed Smith’s vision. He remembered that a black cat had walked in front of him only a month or six weeks before. The car buzzed. Smith fainted. As he came to, he thought vaguely that he heard the other speak. “What?” he asked weakly. “Boss,” I have discovered de ha’dships. It ain’t de runnin’ geah, de control, de brake, or de powah.” Smith grew stronger. “What then,” he asked, “is it?” “It’s jist that blame, low down, commiserable safety button that I’se been standin’ on, dat’s all!” Kenneth Douglas, ’23. :: x X X X X X X :: x x .V X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X 3: sc x x 3:3! x x x x x x sc x 3: sc sc sc x x x x x x 3; 3:3; 3:3:3: x x x 3: x 3; x :::: sc (Kifihty-ninc) (rtijuttf) x x x x x X X x x x x x x x x :::: :: :j x x j: k :t :s j: :: j: xx %xxx x 55:::: « :::: s::::: :: x x x x x x x x x x S3I1IAU3V :::::: ; x x x x x 5: x x x x x x x x x x x x x ttamtwso x x x xx x :: x x x xxxxxx :::: x x s::::: xxxx x’x x x x x x xx :t x (Nintty-one) ::a x :::: r. « k a-K '« � K s::: :::: 5: k ®lie Rosemary :: :: :: 5: :: :: :: :: ;; :t :: x x :: LITERARY SOCIETY URING the year 1920, the Literary and Debating Society has held many interesting sessions. For the first semester there were about two hun- dred members. The second semester membership was not as good, due, perhaps, to the many other activities in which most of us have been en- gaged. We have had splendid meetings this yast year. Their originality and success were largely the result of much hard work by the program committee, of which Grace Needham was chairman. During the course of the year, several debates were held. The first of these was the Freshman-Sophomore debate, held on November 14, on the question, “Resolved, That the Luxury Tax should be Abolished.” The Freshmen team, Mary Flom, Richard Layman, and Paul Miles, supported the affirmative; and the Sophomore team, -Jose- phine Boner, Emily Putnam, and Nora Null, the negative. The Junior-Senior Debate took place on November 20. The Junior team composed of Eva Jane Harper, Ted Judy, and Maurice Evans took the negative; and the Senior team, Frank Hutchins, Roberta Fowler and Harmon Hayes, the affirmative of the question, “Resolved, That the Plumb Plan for the Ownership and Control of the Rail- roads Should be Adopted.” The judges decided in favor the Affirmative. The third debate was the Senior-Sophomore debate on: “Resolved, That Urbana Should Adopt the Commission Form of Government.” The Sophomores supported the negative, and the Seniors, the affirmative. The decision was in favor of the Sopho- mores. The final debate was our dual debate with Danville, the details of which are re- corded in “Debating.” The biggest feature of the year was the “All School Party”, May 27. The first part of the evening was spent in the Auditorium, where we were admirably enter- tained with two short plays, “A Play on Words,” and “The Dear Departed.” During the intermission, Anna Schwartz sang two numbers. The rest of the evening was spent in the gym and halls, with dancing and games. This party was very well attended and everyone agreed that it was a huge success. This year we were well represented at Charleston, by the following people who arc a credit to Urbana High School: Lucile Haworth, in Dramatics; Vera Kuebler, in Humor; Margaret Barr, in Modern Poetry; and Harmon Haves, in Oratory. The last thing the Society did was to elect a splendid corps of officers and leave them as a legacy for next year. These are: Charles Chadsey, President; Eva Oat- hout, Vice-President; Nora Null-, Secretary; Charles Havens, Treasurer; George Rea, Sea rgea n t-a t- A rm s. We, as Seniors, arc sorry to leave the Literary Society, but we wish it the best of luck for the future. The officers will do their best, and the members are going to step in and fill the places of the Seniors who are leaving this year. Here’s to the Literary for 1920-21!

Its purpose is to create more general interest in public speaking and to promote a spirit of friendship among the orators and debaters of the school. It is composed of those who have represented Urbana High School in any form of public address. All alumni who have been members or have qualified for membership are honorary members. From these an honorary President is chosen each year. The one chosen this year was Horace Carman, ’15. The Alpha Sigma Rho was established in the spring of 1916, and has had thus far thirty-one active members, among whom are Russel Bow- ditch, Fred Smith, Earl Miller, John McCammon, Robert Hayes, and Herbert Harmison. The greatest number was reached in 1917, when there were twelve active members. This year there were eleven, eight of whom were Seniors. Josephine Boner, Margaret Bain, and Nesta FitzGerald are left to represent them next year. At the beginning of this term a meeting was held, at which the following officers were elected: President.....................................Harmon Hayes .............................Frank Hutchins Vice President..... Secretary-Treasurer Harold Lumsden The members this year were: Harmon Hayes and Frank Hutchins (debate captain), Evelyn Adams, Harold Lumsden, Robert Woolbert, and Josephine Boner (debaters), Otto Lessing and Nesta Fitz-Gerald (first alternates), Harmon Hayes, Frank Hutchins, Vera Keubler and Lucile Haworth have represented us in the Charleston oratorical contest. Evelyn Adams had the honor of being judged in tryout the best debater in the school. She and Josephine Boner are the first girl debaters we have had since 1916. The society holds meetings once a month for the discussion of de- bating interests and the practicing of parliamentary law. :: :: :: :::::::::::::::: ?: :: 5::?« :: xx x x x x :::: x x x :::::::: x x x x x y x :: x :cx x u: 'X :::::: :: (Ninety-four) ®lje BRnsemaru OMiHIINf JX)Nfi ESTAFIIZUCRALU riAliUFRFT J3AK K FRANK MinCHINi ALPHA JiEMA RHD TODCRT WOOLbERT LUCJLC HAWORTH VEKA KEUBLCR OTTO LESblNt; HARIrUN HAYEo (A'i)i ty-fivc) a a a a a j: a 5: j: j: a a j: j: :: a ;h X a a a a j: a a a a j: x x x x x ::a (Dfe luiscmanj xx xx xx aaa j: x HI-Y CLUB HE III-Y of the Urbana High School was organized two years ago to carry into the High School the principles of the Y. M. C. A., namely: “To create, maintain and extend thruout this school, high standards of Christian living.” In furthering this end, meetings have been held weekly. The regular meet- ings for discussion were varied by having Bean Suppers at frequent in- tervals. Several Joint Meetings were held, one with the A. R. C. and two with the Champaign Hi-Y. The management, during the first semester, was in the hands of the following officers who were elected the previous year: President, Homer Garrison; Vice President, Harold Lumsden; Sec- retary, Everette Parmelee; Treasurer, Leland Johnson. At the beginning of the second semester, several changes were made so that the officers completing the year were: President, Dean Harper; Vice President, James Mumford; Treasurer, Leland Johnson; Secretary, Everette Parmelee. During the year the club was responsible for the carrying out of several special features. February 26 and 27 a second Come Clean Cam- paign was successfully carried through. On the 27, 28, and 29 of Febru- ary, in connection with the Champaign Hi-Y, a County Older Boy’s Con- ference was held. It was found necessary to provide more money than was gained from dues, and several ways were resorted to. In con- nection with a University Organization, two plays were put on, “The Neighbors” and the “Nursery Maid of Heaven.” During the District Basketball Tournament, fruit, candy, etc., were sold. These means have put the club on a good financial footing. Besides the work in our school the Hi-Y has made a point to en- courage better relationship between the school and our neighbors in Cham- paign. The club wish to extend their thanks to Mr. Murray of the Uni- versity for his help in the office of advisor during this past year. The Hi-Y has made great advancement this past year and the hopes for its future success should certainly be fulfilled. With this year the last of its charter members go, but they go knowing that the work they have started will be well carried on.

The meetings were held regularly every two weeks. For the most part, teachers led the discussion. These were very helpful in a great many ways. Besides deriving a great deal of benefit from the talks, the girls learned to know each other and enjoy social times together. Two splendid parties were held which were well attended and which were a success in every way. One of the main events of the year was a joint bean supper with the Hi-Y. It was one of the aims of the club to co-operate in every way possible with the Hi-Y, thus making a stronger faction with both parties working for the same end. The year was ended successfully with the Mother and Daughter Banquet. This was the first banquet of this kind held here. There was an attendance of about ninety. After the banquet a very enjoyable social time was held in the gymnasium.

With the start of this year a complete reorganization was made because of the one year interim caused by war conditions. A constitution was adopted and a Board of Control established. The latter was composed of four members of the faculty and representatives from each class. Mr. Cas- serly was president and Miss McIIarry, Miss Osborne and Miss Thorns- burg represented the English Department. The class representatives were Freshman, Hugh McCown; Sophomore, Josephine Boner; Junior, Victor Shilling; and Senior, Howard Johnson. The staff was elected in the third week of October and the following week the first issue appeared. From then on the Echo made its regular weekly appearance twenty-eight times. Only two six page editions were possible. On account of high prices, the financing was difficult throughout the year. This year many things have been learned and much experience gained in the management of our paper. Next year, with the organization of this year to start upon, a better and bigger Echo should surely result. The staff wish to extend a great many thanks to the English De- partment for the help it has given them in the composing of the Echo. They also wish to thank the subscribers and advertisers who have made the Echo possible this year. :: 2: a a a X it x it !! it x « x X! x x x X| xi j X 5: X X X X X X X X XXX X X j: X X X X X x X it it it it it it X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X XX X X X X X X XX x X X X X X X X XXX X X X X X (One Hundred One) it i: it it :: :: :: s: it it it 1: it it it :t 'it! ft :: it x it it :: it :: :: it it j: :: :: :: 3: it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it (Lite luismuary literary CIRCULATION EDITOR Rosemary ASST.

ORATORY The annual Miller Medal Contest was held on April 9. There were hut two contestants: Emily Putnam and Nesta Fitz-Gerald. The former spoke on “Irrev- erence, America’s Weakness”; and the latter on “Independence for the Philippines.” The contest was a close one, both doing excellent work. Altho Emily received a higher grade for composition, Nesta triumphed by her splendid delivery. Mr. Miller, him- self awarded the medal to the winner. The tryouts for the Charleston meet were held during the last week of April with the following results: Dramatics, Lucile Haworth; Modern Poetry, Margaret Ban- Oratory, Harmon Hayes; Humor, Vera Kuebler. DEBATE Coach Geneva The debate this year was with the Danville High School. The tryouts were held in December. Out of the sixteen who responded, eleven were chosen, including Hayes and Lumsdcn, the veteran debaters, also Evelyn Adams, Frank Hutchins, Rob- ert Woolbert, Josephine Boner, Otto Lessing, Nesta Fitz-Gerald, Maurice Evans, Vir- ginia McAuley, and Leopoldo Rosales. The teams as they were finally chosen, stood as follows: Affirmative—Josephine Boner, Robert Woolbert, and Frank Hutchins, (Captain) (First alternate, Otto Lessing). Negative—Evelyn Adams, Harold Lumsden and Harmon Hayes (Captain). (First alternate, Nesta Fitz-Gerald).

The only girl who has debated for Urbana High previously is Gladys Woody, who served on our 1916 af- firmative team. The question debated this year was: “Resolved: That the United States Armed Intervention Should be Applied and Maintained Thruought Mexico Until the Govern- menthas has been Stabilized”. On January 23, we sent our negative team to Dan- ville, where they lost by a three-to-nothing decision, while our affirmative team de- bated the Danville negative here and defeated them by a similar vote. At Danville Evelyn Adams opened the debate for us, in a telling manner. Lums- den spoke next, with even more than his usual force, and Hayes concluded our argu- ments as one would expect the captain of one of Urbana’s teams to debate. The judges there, in enumerating the points judged upon, said that our team had the edge in argument, and lost only on delivery. Those at Urbana said that we excelled the Danville negative in both. Mr. Geneva, the principal of Thornburn School, coached the teams.

The question for debate was: “Re- solved, That the luxury tax should be abolished. The Freshman team, consisting of Paul Miles, Richard Layman and Mary Flom (Captain) ________ supported the affirmative of the question; while the Sophomores, Nora Null, Emily Putnam and Josephine Boner, (Captain) argued the negative. The judges’ decision was in favor of the Sophomores. JUNIOR-SENIOR DEBATE The Junior-Senior debate was held November 20, 1919, in the auditorium of the High School. The question debated was one arising from present day prob- lems. “Resolved: That the United States should adopt the Plum plan for the owner- ship and control of the Railroads.” The Junior team, Eva Jane Harper, Ted Judy and Maurice Evans (Captain) argued in favor of the Plum plan; while the Seniors, Roberta Fowler, Frank Hutchins and Harmon Hayes (Captain) were against it. The final decision was 2-1 in favor of the Seniors. SOPHOMORE-SENIOR DEBATE This was the most important interclass debate of the year, because it decided which class was to have its name as the first on a cup presented by Mrs. Frailey to the winner. This cup will be passed on to the winning class next year. The debate was held December 5, 1919, and the question debated on was “Resolved, That Urbana should adopt a commission form of government.” The Seniors, Roberta Fowler, Frank Hutchins and Harmon Hayes (Captain) presented the affirmative of the argument; while the Sophomores, Nora Null, Emily Putnam and Josephine Boner (Captain) took the negative. The decision was 2-1 in favor of the Sophomores. Miss Rickets presented the cup in the absence of Mrs. Frailey. SOPHOMORE DEBATING TEAM AND CUP GIVEN BY MRS. FRAILEY.

They have learned a number of very dif- ficult pieces and have done exceptionally good work. The orchestra has been in demand to play at a number of places. It played at the University Auditorium, the Baptist church, for the Teachers’ Conference, at the Monticello High School and for Com- mencement. At these places it proved what fine training Mr. McKinney had given it. As a final demonstration of its ability, the Orchestra gave a concert for the whole school. Individual members showed their talent and all numbers were extremely well played. We’re all looking forward to even greater things from the Orchestra next year and wish it the best of luck. Saint Cecelia, the patroness of music, has certainly smiled upon us this year. She has, in the preceding year, bestowed talent upon some of our members, but never before so much as this year. But truly the Gods are kind, for Saint Cecelia after she had bestowed talent and all that seemed necessary, gave the most important of all, a good leader. This year Mr. McKinney has organized our music classes into such perfectly ordered, working units, that one is filled with the greatest admiration for a man who has had all the tach, ability and patience necessary to do this.

This year it has about 130 members. There are some good voices in the Chorus and it certainly is a credit to our school. It sang at the University Auditor- ium, Morrow Hall, The Woman’s Club, and for Baccalaureate. The final triumph of both the Chorus and the Orchestra was the rendering of a chorus from Haydn’s “Creation”. It was one af the best musical numbers ever presented in our Auditorium. The second semester, the Chorus entertained the school with two numbers and everyone certainly appreciated them. We hope to have an even larger chorus next year, with which we hope to present an operetta then. “Music is the Prophets’ art, Among the gifts that God has sent, One of the most magnificent!”—Longfellow.

IIE dramatics of the year opened with the Stunt Show. Each of the class worked feverishly to have its name engraved on the handsome shield which for so long has hung on the bulletin board. Four stunts were presented on that memorable night, December 12, 1919. The acts were unusually entertaining and showed diligent work on the part of the coaches and participants. The judges intensified the suspense by giving the Seniors one vote and the Juniors and the Sophomores two votes apiece. A meeting of the judges was held in “The Office” disappointing all the hopes of the Seniors for the Sophomores won the two votes from the Junior class. The successful act entitled “In Gnoman’s Land” was very enter- taining, the clever plot being aided by picturesque costumes and the artis- tic dancing of Catherine Barr. Miss Ricketts and Miss Price were largely responsible for its successful presentation. The Senior act entitled “Under Cover” delineated the Senior class, though under cover of their supposed dignity, as the prevailing influence and spirit of Urbana High School. Miss McHarry and Miss Gilmore de- serve much credit for their helpful coaching. The Junior stunt, entitled “Le Pays De Joujoux”, pictured a toy shop. It was coached by Miss Lowenstern. “The Freshman Circus”, coached by Miss Thornsburg and Miss Bowlus, represented the Freshman class. The next appearance on the stage was made at the time of the Literary Society party on March 27, 1920. “The Dear Departed” is an amusing comedy, and the cast performed exceptionally well. Ida Poll it and Helen Mulliken as the mercenary sisters and Arthur Gallion and Harmon Hayes as their inconsequential husbands were all mourning the supposed death of their father, characterized by Robert Woolbert. The part of the little girl was carried by Dorothy Burrows. Miss Osborne coached the play. The last appearance of the dramatical members of the Senior class on the High School stage was made on May 26, in a comedy by Brandon ::x xx x x x x ::x x 5: x 5: x x x xxx x x x � :::: « ; “ 5« « k � ■' � j: :: :c :: :: :: j: 5: :: a :: 5; :: 5: :: :: 5: :: (Oh« Hundred Ten) it : (Ilie luiscmaru :: :c 2: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: 2: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: Thomas. “Charley’s Aunt” was the title and joke of the play. Cecil Lin- cicome as Charlie and Howard Visel as Jack, the admirers of Amy and Kitty who were impersonated by Lucile Haworth and Elizabeth Flom, forced their friend, Babberly, acted by Arthur Gallion, to play the part of caperone under the guise of Charley’s aunt. Paul Gardner as Sir Francis, the former suitor of Charley’s aunt, and Otto Lessing as Spettigue, guar- dian of Kitty and Amy, fell victims to the charms of the false aunt. And when Evelyn Adams arrived with Dorothy Palmer, her ward and the sweetheart of Babbery—the plot thickened. Leonard Hank and Harvey Hopkins, as servants completed the cast. :: 2: 2: :: : :: !! 21 :: 2: 2; it it (One undred Eleven) (One Hundred Twelve) gpp W? ■■ fr1 ■.

A great deal of good new material showed up, and besides this, several old players were back on the gridiron. They were: Orville Lewis, who was elected captain later, Roy Miller, Charles Hendricks and Virgil Schuster. These men were main props of the team, but it was the new material which made the team strong. There were these new men who had not played football on any school team before who made the team this year: Cecil Lincicome, ’20; Earl Rhodus, ’20; Omar Allman, ’22; Lloyd Philips, ’20; Paul Gard- ner, ’20; Charles Stockwill, '21; Adrian Stockwill, ’23; Martin Lyons, ’20; Robert Pollard, ’22; David Sharp, ’20; and Allan Steele. Captain Lewis was the only ex- perienced man who played in the back field. During the first part of the year the (One Hundred. Fourteen) ;; :: :: :: :: :: :: « - � - - -x.xx :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: x,'x;x:x.:: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: back field was somewhat confused. Lewis played quarter back at one time and half back at another. Later, things were straightened out and he resumed his regular place at full back. The first game of the season was played with Georgetown on the home field. Georgetown’s team consisted of more experienced players. The result was that they beat Urbana by a score of 20-0. The lineup in the Georgetown game for Urbana was: Schuster Stockwill and Pollard, ends; Brierton and Phillips, tackles; Lincicome and Shroyer, guards; Miller, C; Atwell and Steele, R. H. B.; Allman, F. B.; Sharp, L. H. B.; and Lewis, Q. B. The next game was played with Decatur and was also held on the home field. The two teams were well matched. Neither one displayed any brilliant team work. Captain Lewis was, as usual, the star of the game and made the scores for Urbana. The game ended 13-0 in Urbana's favor. The lineup was as follows: Pollard and Schuster, R. E.; Rhodus, L. T.; Phillips, R. T.; Stockwill, L. E.; Lincicome, R. G.; Hendricks, L. H. B.; Miller, C.; Lyons, R. H B.; Gardner, L. G.; Allman, F. B.; Lewis, Q. B. The Decatur game was played in the middle of the third week in October and at the end of the week the team went to Taylorville. There they expected an easy victory as Decatur had beaten Taylorville, but they were badly mistaken. Taylor- ville beat Urbana 21-0. The playing of both teams was very ragged. The lineup for Urbana was: Shuster and Pollard, R. E.; Rhodus, L. T.; Philips, R. T.; Stock- will and Mason, L. E.; Lincicome, R. G.; Hendricks and Atwell, L. H. B.; Miller, C.; Lyons, R. H. B.; Gardner, L. G.; Allman, F. B.; Lewis (Captain) Q. B. The next Saturday a game was played with Danville on the home field. The Danville team was considerably larger and consisted of more experienced players than Urbana’s team. Danville beat our boys by the score of 53-7. Lewis inter- cepted a forward pass and made a fifty yard run for a touch down. That was our only LEWIS (Capt.) MILLER (Capt.

The line up for Urbana was: Schuster, R. E.; Rhodus, R. T.; Gardner, R. G.; Miller, C.; Lincicome, L. G.; Philips, L. T.; Stockwill L. E.; Lewis (Captain) L. H. B.; Lyons, R. H. B.; Allman, F. B.; Pollard, Q. B.; The Danville game was the cause of much severe practice and a thorough shaking up of the team. Many men were changed to different positions. Then the team went to Alton. They immediately showed the result of the jolt- ing. They held Alton’s fast team completely in check except for one small score. Alton beat them (5-0 but it was as good as a victory to our boys, because they had found out what they could do. At this time George Bronson, who played with Urbana when they were state champions and later coached a couple of Urbana teams, was put in charge of the first squad. He brought a lot of that old Urbana pep and snap and our boys im- mediately began to imbibe it. The next Saturday, Urbana met Bloomington on the home field and beat them 35-0. The whole team worked well together. The backfield went thru Bloomington for long and consistent gains. On defense Bloomington’s backfield seldom got past our line, which certainly played well in that game. The lineup for Urbana was as follows: Gardner, R. E.; Philips, R. T.; Allman, R. G.; Miller, C.; Hendricks, L. G.; Rhodus, L. T.; Lincicome, L. E.; Sharp, L. H. B.; Lyons, R. H. B.; Lewis, Captain) F. B.; Pollard, Q. B. The Mattoon game came next. This game was a disappointment. The team could not work together. They simply had an “off day”. Of course, they beat Mattoon by tho score of 13-0. But it should have been more. Mattoon had a hard and fast little team and several times their fast backfield threatened to get loose. The lineup for Urbana was thus: Stockwill and Gardner, R. E.; Philips, R. T.; Allman, R. G.; Miller, C.; Hendricks, L. G.; Rhodus, L. T.; Lincicome, L. G.; Sharp, L. H. B.; Wright, R. H. B.; Lewis (Captain), F. B.; Pollard and Smith Q. B. Now comes the last game of the season, the Champaign game. The team was in perfect condition, except for Lyon’s bad leg and Sharp who was having some slight trouble with his knees. Steele had come back out and was playing L. H. B. while� Sfaarp had been shifted to Q. B. The line remained unchanged. The lineup as they went into the Champaign game was as follws: Lincicome, L. E.; Rhodus, L. T.; Hendricks, L. G.; Miller, C.; Allman, R. G.; Philips, R. T.; Steele, L. H. B.; Lyons, R. H. B.; Lewis (Captain), F. B.; Sharp, Q. B. The team went into the game with that old Urbana fighting spirit and they kept it till the last whistle blew. From a 25 yard run off the kick-off, Urbana took the ball straight over Champaign’s goal only to fumble across the line. Champaign took a bracer and the rest of the game was a grand scrap. Urbana made several long gains owing to good interference, only to fumble the ball on the slippery field. But after a fumble they would always take a bracer and force Champaign to kick. Champaign’s one touchdown was made on a fumble when they were about 20 yards from Urbana’s goal. The ball rolled across the line and was accidentally covered by a Champaign man. Looking back to that game and considering everything, I have decided that Ur- bana really won the game. The team worked well together on defense and of offense the line surely opened up the holes. They outplayed Champaign, and outfought Champaign, and still Champaign got the big end of the score. I wish the teams of the future better success and I pledge them my support. The Urbana Chamber of Commerce deserves many thanks for the splendid ban- quet and good time to which they treated the members of the Football Squad.

The Freshmen were considerably outweighed, but never- theless they put up a game fight. Both teams were at disadvantage on account of the muddy field. The Sophomores succeeded in making two touchdowns, making a score of 12 to 0 in their favor. The same afternoon on which the Freshmen and Sophomores clashed was also the day of the Junior-Senior battle. The two teams were rather evenly matched but the Seniors won out, owing to good headwork and a few well directed line plunges. The Seniors used line plunges most of the time while the Juniors fa- vored long end runs. The result of the game was thus: 13 to (5 in favor of the Seniors. Later the Seniors played the Sophomores for the class championship. The game was won by the steady and consistent playing of the Seniors. They beat the Soph- omores by the score of 13 to 0.

Greer and Garrison were the only old men that same out. Several new men who had played Basketball elsewhere came out, among whom was Paul Gardner who was later made captain. Coach Coleman rounded his men into shape in time to win the first game which was with Chrisman. They beat Chrisman 20 to 11. This was Urbana’s first game and Chrisman’s fifth or sixth. The lineup for Urbana was as follows: Greer, f.; Clark, g.; Garrison, c.; Parmelee, f.; Gardner (Captain) g.; Visel, f.; and Gallion, g. The team played its second game with Clinton. They held Clinton down to an even score until the last quarter when Clinton began to drop them in from the middle of the floor. The Clinton team won by a score of 18 to i). The lineup for Urbar.Ja was: Parmelee, f; Greer, f.; Garrison, c.; Gardner, g.; Clark, g.; Miller, Johnson and Gallion. The team intended to make a trip at the end of the next week, going first to Pekin and then to Waverly, but both games were canceled for various reasons and the team stayed at home. On Friday, January 23rd, the team played Mattoon. The first half ended 7 to G in Mattoon’s favor; but in the second half, Urbana showed some real team work and won the game. The score was 21 to 11. The lineup was: Johnson, f.; Parmelee, f.; Greer, c.; Clark, g.; Gardner, g. The next Wednesday after a pickup team had beaten the Homer Independents, Urbana played Homer High School. The team did not show up in its usual form and as a result the game was hotly contested all the way through. The final score was 20 to 17 in Urbana’s favor. The lineup was as follows: Clark, g.; Parmelee, f.; Greer, c.; Miller, g.; Gardner, g.; Visel, f.; Johnson, f. On Thursday, February 5th, and Friday, February 6th, the team took their first trip. The first game was a return game with Clinton. It was played on a rather small floor and Urbana boys could not get used to it. Clinton won by a score of 40 to 20. The lineup was: Johnson, f.; Greer, f.; Garrison, c.; Gardner, g.; Miller, g.; Parmelee and Gallion. The second game was played with Farmer City. This floor had four posts in the center and the game was played around these. Urbana lost the game on the free throws missed. The lineup was thus: Johnson, f.; Greer, f.; Gar- rison, c.; Gardner, g.; Miller, g. The following Tuesday an extra game was scheduled with Longview. It was played directly after school. The greater part of the game was slow and uninteresting. Urbana won by a score of i8 to 12. The lineup was: Greer, f.; Johnson, f.; Garrison, c.; Gardner, g.; Miller and Gallion. :::::: ::it « it it it a :: :: it it it a (Our Hundred Nineteen) s:xx x xx x x xxx x x x x x x x x 5: x x h x x luiscmaru xx x x x xxx x x j: x 5: x x x x x x x x x x The next game was with Champaign.

The lineup was as follows: Greer, f.; -Johnson, f.; Garrison, c.; Clark, g.; Gardner, g.; Miller for Gardner. As a curtain raiser for this game, the Seniors beat the Champaign Sophomores by a secore of 14 to 11. University High of Normal came over to play Urbana. The game was close and hard fought all the way through. Urbana won by a score of 18 to 15. The lineup was: Greer, f.; -Johnson, f.; Clark, g.; Miller, g.; Garrison, c.; Gallion. The Urbana team met Danville on the Y. M. C. A. floor in Danville. The game was hot and snappy, being featured by personal fouls and frequent rests. The game ended 22 to 8 in Danville’s favor. The lineup for Urbana was: Clark, f.; Greer, f.; Garrison, c.; Miller, g.; Gallion, g.; Smith, Visel, Gardner. The District Tournament opened on Thursday, March 4th, at 3 o’clock. It was well attended from the beginning of the first game until the close of the last game. Urbana played two games, the first with Newman, which they won by a score of 35 to 10; the second, with Danville, which they lost by the narrow margin of 24 to 18. This defeat eliminated the home team from the tournament, but no cessation of in- terest could be noticed. The games continued to be as exciting as before and most of Urbana rooters turned their hopes to Danville as the only means of quelling Cham- paign. They were doomed to disappointment, however, as Champaign defeated Dan- ville and won the tournament. X' The tournament, on the whole, was quite successful and Urbana will probably take care of it again next year. Altogether it made a fitting close for the Basketball season.

They were well attended as most of the students kept a lively interest in their class teams. The Sophomores won the championship. Their team was well organized and they had the best class spirit. Several members of the Sophomore team should make the school team next year. The Senior team played a game with St. Joseph High School and succeeded in defeating them. They played a game with Sidney High School, also, but owing to the crowded condition of the floor, lost the game. (On Hundred Tircntu-onc) u :: k x :: x x x a x x x x x x x x x x x x Che %{ osemaru B”e”gj]HE track team this year certainly came out strong. With iSIsS Lyons in the dashes, Allman in the weights, and Steele in the pole vault, prospects looked more than fair from the first. Ted Judy’s preference for the half mile increased the interest. The team entered the Peoria meet and won by a score of 33 points. Martin Lyons, ’20, was the individual star and he brought home the cup. Allman won the shot-put with 44 ft. 11 2 in., and Steele tied a man for first place in the pole vault at 11 ft. 2 in. Ted Judy won the half mile. The boys brought home a banner for the school besides all the individual medals. On Saturday, May 8, the team competed in the Charleston meet, again running up a total score of 33 points. Martin Lyons took first place in the following events: 50 yard dash, 100 yard dash, and 220 yard dash. Ted Judy took second place in the half mile run, and Allan Steele tied a man from Danville in pole vault at a height of 11 ft. 3V6 in. Omar Allman won first place in the shot put, second place in the discus and second place in the hammer throw. The boys brought home a shield from Charleston. The next Saturday, May 15, at Jacksonville, there was much com- petition in the weights. Allman took fourth in the shot put and second in the discus. Steele tied again in the pole vault, and Lyons again won the individual honors with three firsts. Urbana won the meet with a total of 23 points. On the next Saturday, the 22nd, the boys competed in the Inter- scholastic track meet at the University of Illinois. They succeeded in making 24 points at this meet, but it gave them only third place. Oak Park won the meet with 411 2 points, and Deerfield-Shields took second with 25 points. Kimball, a Deerfield-Shields man, broke the World’s Interscholastic record in the 220 yard low hurdles by 1-5 of a second. Lyons took third in the 100 yard dash and second in the 220 yard dash. Steele won the pole vault, and Greer, a new addition, won the high jump. Alman won the hammer throw, and Philips took third place. Allman also took fourth place in the discus. On Saturday, the 29th, the team will compete at Northwestern University. Wje hope they will win that meet. They probably will have harder competition then than ever before, but we have hopes for their success. This article must go to press, so cannot give a record of the meet. xx xxxx x xx::x xx x xJ: x x (One Hundred Twenty-two) a a a a a : :: :: a a ii :: :: a a a a :: a :: •; a a a'a a a (Lite nsentarg :: a a a :: :: a a :: a :: :: a a a :: a a a a a a TRACK TEAM FIRST PLACE 15™ANNUAL BRADLEY INTERSCHOLASTIC TRACK S FIELD MEET KTYU92L.

The courts were muddy most of the time so that practice was impossible. The team went to Dan- ville and were defeated there, but were courageous enough to enter the Interscholastic contest. Sharp and Hayes played both singles and doubles, and Parmelee and Hopkins played only doubles. Hayes was the only one who succeeded in eliminating his first man. The others were beaten in the first matches. Sharp played Oak Park in the singles, and Sharp and Hayes played Oak Park in the doubles. Parmelee and Hopkins played Centralia and were eliminated. Hayes won his first match and lost his second to Dale of Danville. All the playing was of a high standard. David M.
