We wish to thank the Students and Faculty of Urbana High School and the Business Men of Urbana for their consistent support in the preparation of this book. —The cRpscmary Staff (Seven) ®hc Htfscntani (Eight) (The jRnsintiaru MOONLIGHT It is night. Overhead, shimmering, streaming, Infinitely soft and flowing— The moon. The doors of that gothic mass of moonlight Open; brass trumpets sound a signal, Clear, majestic. From out the doors come men, In silks are they, dull red and Old spun gold—the garb of middle English times. Knights, fair winsome ladies, Rollicking friars and soldiers, with rough large hands, Mingle together—the Spirit of Poetry. Trumpets flare, the company, in awe, Stands back. With slow, uneven steps and head bowed down, There comes a man. Upon his face the look that shows Acquaintance with all this world, And even other distant worlds, Acquaintance with all the seas and yet, Another vast, great sea. The silent study on his deep brow fades, A smile, in laughing at the passing of it all, Gives him away—the Curiosity of Science. Within—the sound of clashing armies! The noise of a hundred sun-mills, While Cyrus stands beside and smiles; Belshazzar at his feast, the music Of the last wild dance— The swan-song of a beautiful, a vain Babylon; The footsteps of Napoleon, as he walks, With matchless grace the shores of silent Elba; The guns of Bellau Wood and the Songs of peasants as the poppies wave In some old Flemish field ; The tears of victory—the Military History Of Man. Again—silence. From out the door, in Orange and Black, Comes gracefully, the Spirit of the School. Youthful, sympathetic, With curious smile she looks on all And understands. The persons disappear. The spirit floats away, is gone Mysteriously. It is night, overhead— The moon. —Ellis W. Krieckhaus. a 59 £ 9 (Nine) Che luisemaru To The Urbana Association of Commerce: In recognition of its constant, whole hearted loyalty to all of those enterprises which have resulted in the growth and develop- ment of the city of Urbana, we dedicate this, the twelfth volume of the Rosemary.

Seventh hour, that terrible period of the day when three-thirty seemed as far off as eternity. How could Anne possibly study when she longed heart and soul to be out-of-doors? For it was one of those irresistible May days, so perfect in every respect that it seemed an absolute contradiction of human nature to sit stupidly staring at the framed debating teams on Miss Ainesworth’s walls. Neverthless, it was inevitable that Anne’s duty was to study for a Physics quiz, so she opened her book. “Like mag- netic poles repel and—a meadow lark sang out in a nearby field.” These few lines ran through her mind, “Oh, I’m wishing to go a-fishing, For this the month of May was made.” It was no use, “And yet,” she thought indignantly, “suppose I should skip for just one hour this afternoon. I’d have to go to Old Sever re (some principal, he is) to get an excuse. His horrible black eyes would bore into me and fairly radiate unreasonableness, then he would speak, “Anne, this is no excuse, five off and forty-five minutes in the detention room.” “No, you can’t tell me principals have hearts.” She laid her head on her desk and tried to rest herself a moment. It suddenly occurred to her that she had not collected the absence slips, which it was her duty to collect each day. As she passed down the hall, she stopped by the window just to get a breath of fresh May air, “Oh, I’m wishing to go a fishing,” Suddenly a black shadow loomed be- side her. She glanced up starteld. There stood Mr. Severre in his tortoise shell glasses and black suit, “Oh, I-Sir,” she stammered, “was just col- lecting the absence slips and”— “Yes, I know,” he said, “when I sit in the office on a day like this, enveloped in what Freshmen do and don’t I want, well I want to go a fishing.” Anne, stood back perfectly astonished. A kindred spirit in a High Shool principal! My Goodness! Would miracles never cease? When she came to, he was saying, “Suppose we take the car and see a bit of May.” Anne soon found herself in the front seat beside that authorative black suit of Mr. Severre’s. Oh! what a glorious thing to feel a fresh balmy breeze sweeping against her face and to know that it was May. Just then there was a loud report. Old Severre jumped out, “Gosh,” he said, I was afraid so, lets go to that farmhouse over there.” Anne stared at him in amazement. After all, a principal who took you “skipping’ and said “gosh” was a pretty good sport. As they traveled cross country, they passed a group of cattle in a field, but thought nothing of it until Anne suddenly imagined she heard some one running swiftly towards them from the rear. Glancing around, she was surprised to see a large Jersey cow lumbering swiftly in a direct iine for the innocent Mr. Severre. “Oh,” she .screamed “look out!” Mr. Severre glanced over his shoulder just enough to see a huge beast bearing down on him. Then he ran with all his might for a near by straw stack. Now, it had been many years since Mr. Severre had run and he was quite stout, so that his wild flight was the most comical locomotion Anne had ever seen. Having reached the straw stack, he stumbled and climbed up its almost perpendicular side, and finally scrambled triumphantly on the top, his red tie waving in the breeze. He stamped his foot, angrily and shook his fist at the cow. “You brute” he cried, “I dare you to come up k M I (Thirl u-sir) ihBCSSS ZMZXM CLhc Ixusnnaru here. I just dare you.” Anne sat down and laughed. This was indeed something to remember. Soon a man with twinkling eyes came out, eyed Mr. Severre, and proclamed the cow a pet. After they drank some but- termilk, they went back to the car. As they sped home about dusk, Anne had the comfortable feeiing that she was tired, deliciously tired. Suddenly, someone grabbed her by the arm. She rubbed her eyes to see a Freshman by her side. ‘‘Hey, kid, you’re in my chair.” “Realization” awoke with a pang. She had wasted a study period in useless dreams and she had a Physics quiz next hour. As she scurried into her seat just in time, she over-heard two girls behind her say, “Gee, Old Severre is mean. Principals sure are heartless.” Anne turned and smiled at them in a superior sort of way. Then she gazed out of the window on a wonderful May day and hummed to her- self, “Oh, I’m wishing to go a-fishing For this the month of May was made. ’ NoraH Null. £3 (Thirty-scvrn) xnn TrvTr.x7jjxr,-. ui jtxxt, I $ :■ I £■ g.

This training, which we call education, is as old as the race itself, beginning when man first taught his child to hunt for food or to hew a stone weapon. As education has developed, man has acquired, as a result of the blending of intellect, genius and environ- ment, the greatest corner stones of civilization, name- ly, art, literature, science and invention. Education is also the foundation of the republican form of govern- ment. A government of, by, and for an ignorant people, is impossible. At no time in history can this be shown more clearly than by the present condition of Russia. For years ignorance and superstition have held sway under the monarchial rule of the czars. Education is the only safe- guard against such tyranny. Now that the people of Russia no longer have a tyrant to rule them, they do not know what to do; they cannot govern themselves and a reign of terror is the result. A century ago France was still suffering from the results of the same condition. But now ignorance has been conquered and France today is a prosperous republic in which the governing people are educated. Taking all into consideration we may say that the function of educa- tion is to establish in the mind of the individual such knowledge of these results of civilization that he may use them to the further benefit of the race. To this end we have been patiently guided through our years in the Urbana Schools. We, as the Senior class, have reached but a mile stone in our journey, for we realize that education must continue through life. Our work has been hard at times but with the aid of our teachers we have succeeded in passing many difficulties. And so to them who have been so untiring in their efforts to prepare us for our small part in the work of civilization, we wish to express our heartfelt appreciation. May we justify the hopes with which they send us forth. Friends, schoolmates and teachers, we welcome you; and to the Urbana High School, the class of 1921 pledges its loyalty through the coming years. Eva E. Oathout. {Forty) «e 4 Wht IRusentary m $ ja L? ' i i EO i i IW SENIOR STATISTICS T a time like this when the mind of the average Senior student is far removed from all mathematical data, I feel that I could not more fittingly fulfill the trust and duty imposed upon me than to discuss with you fully and dispassionately the statistical facts of the Class of 1921. No man with a mind to think or a heart to feel can contemplate the almost inexhaustible number of facts that might be compiled concerning this illustrious class, and not realize the stupendous task I have had thrust upon me. After a careful count following the last roll call, there was found to be in the Class of 1921, 120 pupils, 65 of whom are girls, and 55 boys. Of the girls 31 are brunettes, 18 blondes, and 10 can not be con- sidered as either. It would hardly be proper or fitting not to mention at this time that there is only one person in the whole Senior Class of 1921, who is crowned with red hair. The said person is Frances Killefer. There are several whose locks were no doubt intended to be of an auburn hue. but since they could not be made to match the beauty of the aforesaid young lady, they have been changed into shades varying from the amber tresses of Ellen Van Ostrand to the jet black locks of Elsie Wightman. After adding many columns of figures and thus causing the waste of much time and paper and many pencils, it was found that the sum of the height of all Seniors was 660 feet, 11.2 inches, 220 yards. It would take the world's fastest runner some 20 seconds to cover this number of yards. We feel sure if we had a few more like Frances Green these fig- ures would be greatly increased. As it is, we found that the average height of the Senior Class is 5 feet, 8 inches. This Senior Class can boast more about its weight than about its height, however, for this class contains such monstrosities as Windy Mil- ler, Minnie Bailey, and Cy Blue. On account of their size no groceryman would allow us to weigh them on his scales; therefore we had to take them down to the Thorpe-Ammerman Garage where they were balanced against a Nash Six. The total weight of the Senior Class was found to be 18,000 pounds or nine tons, the average being 150 pounds each. We feel sure that such midgets as Lisle Snyder and Constance Seward are greatfully thankful to these three for raising their average 90 up to 150 pounds. The ages of the Senior Class range from 1 to 24 years, the oldest be;ng John Maxfield who has served two years in the service of Uncle Sam, and the youngest being Charles Chadsey, our High School baby. A close sec- ond to Charles is Betty Oliver who claims to be 15 years old, although she acts like a child of 12. Here, too, it might be stated that if all the dates which Agnes Man- ning, Atha Riddle, Allen Harris, Amelia Ellis, and Edna Clutter claim to have had were brought to this High School, I fear it would turn from an institution of learning into a fruit stand, where both dates and prunes could be had. The committee felt that this year’s Senior Class should leave some more significant facts concerning themselves, than weight and height— something that would serve as a standard to which future Senior classes could aspire. After much consderation it was decided to obtain the intel- ligence quota and the specific gravity of each individual and the entire class collectively. The securing of this data required considerable technique and the application of very definite scientific principals. The committees i i si i £ 1 I a (Forty-onr ) ®lie IWenmrg felt equal to the task, however; and, after the expenditure of much time and effort in calculating and classifying the data into standard conditions, it was found that when we omitted the figures obtained for Verne Sullivan, Earl Winchester Thelma Hurd, and Catherine Goodman, the intelligence quota was foun'J to be equal to that of a student 20 years of age. But with the above figures included it was reduced to one of 15 years of age. To obtain the specific gravity we made use of the principals estab- lished in Physics. We took the weight of the water displaced when said body was immersed and divided the weight in air by the water displaced It was found that the specific gravity of the whole class was slightly less than one. With individuals, however, there was great variation. For instance, when figures were obtained on Skinnie Greene, Jimmy Snyder, and Betty Oliver, it was found they were far below the average class. No doubt, this was due to the cavities in the upper region which ordinarily would contain gray matter but which evidences proved were empty. Still there were some who were above this average. No doubt, this was due to the matter contained in the upper cavity, namely ivory. Among other interesting facts concerning this class that the com- mittees have been able to secure is that of absences and tardiness. It was found on a careful analysis of records that this class is far superior to other classes in matter of attendance. Our investigations show that .‘55 members have perfect records, and that the other 85 have been absent for periods ranging from one hour, usually the eighth which they skipp- ed, to six weeks. We might go into detail for the cause of these absences, but time does not permit. It will be sufficient to say that on Friday af- ternoons preceding formal dances a few of the fairer sex found it neces- sary to take time off in order to make suitable appearance for aforesaid functions. I might mention a few of the offenders, namely: Amelia Ellis, Marjorie Hall, Peg Smith, and Iva Dunkle. The last is the most notorious of the above group, hence her name, “Skip” Dunkle. It was found, however, that most absences were during the eighth hour, that is most of the Seniors left school just in time to get to the “Orph”. In conclusion, we have taken the sum of the ages of this class and divided it by the intelligence quota, then multiplied this product by the six members of the clas,s who were on the football team plus the average height of the class, and then divided this by the number of seniors on the basketball team plus the dates of all the “fussers” of this class, which processes give the astonishing figures of 3,987,416.5. These figures are far greater than the the money subscribed for the Stadium. Really a wonderful class! Eh! Raymond Gallivan. (.Forty-tno) (Dte IRoeemaru -. _y - v - SENIOR HISTORY E have always been possessed of the belief that Seniors, as well as under classmen, would rather read romance than mere statement of fact. But then we usually look to a Class History to record numbers and accomplish- ments and all the “what we have done”, information with the order and scientific regularity of a copy of the I figures turned out of a calculating machine. This his- m ■ '■ tory will have no order except the order of time and if it has any regularity it will be only the regularity with which facts are turned to fit fancy in order to make: A Romance Entitled: “Why We Are What We Are Now.” Chapter I. “The Age of Innocence”. Being a record of our first year in High School. Fancy a “bright” day sometirrie in the first of September. We don’t know why “first days” are always “bright”; probably we entered high school in torrents of rain. At least we entered, and there were 121 of us. On self-confidence and with evident optimism we assembled, elected of- ficers, and assumed the name of “Class of ‘21”. Blue and grey were chosen as our colors. The following officers were elected: President Charles Hendricks Marie Riordan ................... Charles Ewalt Vice President Secretary At the Annual Stunt Show we presented the comedy called “Extra! Extra!” The committee was composed of Margaret Cavanaugh, Dorothy Whitaker, Janet Kinley, Charles Riley, and Eugene Forker. Chapter II. “The Age of Curiosity” Being a Record of Our Second Year in High School. By September 1918 our members had dwindled to 125. But 125 per- sons can look into rooms and investigate courses and quiz teachers enough to suit any faculty. What we did not have the nerve to do in our Fresh- man year we did in our Sophomore year. Our selection of officers was well in keeping with the spirit of the class: President Richard Riley Vice President Bessie Ernest Secretary Agnes Manning Treasurer Edward Laflen Historian ....Marie Riordan Class Adviser Miss Yoder We were represented in the Minstrel Show given in February, by Vinal Smith, Maurice Evans, Paris Hotchkiss, Maurice Armorintrout, and Edward Laflen. At the Annual Stunt Show we presented: “Gradu- ation Night at Pumpkin Center” under the direction of the following committee: Agnes Manning, Eugene Forker, Roberta Moore, Edward Laflen, and Charles Riley.

Charles Chadsey was elected Junior Response for the Hatchet Ora- tion. Chapter IV. “The Age of Humility”. Our fourth year proved to be a revelation. In spite of our lordly air and our atmosphere of indifference, not until we were Seniors did we realize exactly how much we did not know. We elected the following officers: President Charles Hendricks Vice President...........v Bessie Ernest Secretary Roy Miller Treasurer Winifred Ernest Class Historian ................ Elies W. Krieckhaus Class Adviser Miss McHarry Alice blue and gray were chosen as the class colors. As our part in the Annual Stunt Show we presented “Inside Stuff”, a clever dramatization of the romance that’s found in books. The stunt was presented under the direction of the following committee: Frances Webber, chairman; Amelia Ellis, Eva Jane Harper, Ray Gallivan, Charles Hendricks, Melvin Horton. The following boys represented the class of ’21 on the Varsity foot- ball team: Miller, Captain; Reichard, Wingler, Gallivan, Hendricks, Blue, Witt. On the Varsity basketball teams we had six men: Reichard, Cap- tain; Miller, Gallivan, Witt, Winchester, Henderson. The presentation of the Senior Play “The Man on the Box” on May 13 and 14, and the Senior Banquet on May 20 rounded out a year of various successes. And this ends the last chapter of our romance. The introduction to the next chapter will come with the tomorrow; and the problems of the outside world will form a book that will be real and serious.

Darkness, utter dark- ness execpt for a pale red light that spurted like magic from the ground! And around this mysterious glimmer were gathered Satan and his disciples. I am mentioning no names. But to these, banished from the paradise of high school, flannel shirted, and with his hair unkempt, Satan drew from the fire and gave a tattered piece of sandpaper, flowing with red seals and the whole thing steaming and crackling with the heat of unknown depths. I stole nearer. In his big, rusty hands the chief of the banished ones held the document. Over his shoulder I made out the words. The document follows: “We, the disciples of Satan from our profound wisdom, and our in- finite knowledge of the class of 1921 (for who else but we could know of them?) and from our associations with them in their loafing hours in that little semi-circle in front of Daly’s, and from our attendance at their “sweetly simple” social affairs, draw the material for the following will.” Criminal Hill Midnight The 3rd of June, 1921. The final will and testament of the class of 1921 of Urbana High School, State of Illinois, U. S. A. Realizing that the vast uncertainty of this mortal existence, and being able to see far into the future, we do make the following will and testament for the benefit of the Junior class of said High School that they may seek diligently to acquire the knowledge gained by the class of 1921. That is to say: We as a class, after striving from day to day to teach the Junior class the requirements and responsibilities of dignified Seniors, feel that by our thorough instructions we may now safely permit them to become full fledged Seniors at the beginning of the school year 1921-1922, provided they fulfill the following provisions: (1). That they pay their class dues promptly, and that they have a 100 Echo subscription. (2). That they attire themselves on April Fools day with tortoise shall glasses and Priscilla hair dress in order to appear to possess a knowledge which they do not naturally possess. (3) . That at lunch hour they compel all lower classmen to wait until their superiors are served. (4) . That they study six nights a week and attend church on Sunday. (5) . That they endeavor to produce a class equal to the class of 1921 in talents, brilliancy, and good looks. We hereby give and bequeath to the class of 1922 the duty of bringing up the Freshman class, who have been shamefully neglected in their training. We give to the class of 1924 the unclaimed honor of being the most ignorant and homely bunch of yearlings since the beginning of Urbana High School. We hereby give and bequeath to our dearly beloved faculty our sin- cere appreciation of their non-ability to discover our ponies upon examina- tion days, when we have earnestly pored over the question in order not to finish too soon for fear we would leave room for suspicion. To Mike, we gladly donate the money to establish a wireless telegraph system in the Auditorium, to relieve him of his fantastic gesticulations on (h'orty-mren) CLlje jKusemaru a assembly days. Richard Riley bequeaths his artistic ability to engrave the Urbana High School seal and other seals, unknown to all but him, to his ambitious brother Theodore. Agnes Manning wills her long sought for ability to live without sleep to any under classman who thinks he can acquire such an ability. Ray Gallivan and Pete Snyder give their deed to the front steps of our institution to Bill Shroyer and George Mallow. Ted Judy, on account of a defect in his harmonious voice, wills his ability as Urbana cheer leader to our important and prominent Shorty Finch. We give our acquired ability at music to the Haven’s Syncopation Hounds to assist them in playing for all future dances like the ones given by Eva Oathout and Charles Chadsey. Windy Miller wills seat number 3 in the front row at the Orpheum every Monday afternoon to Howard Gill. Francis Green wills his high aspirations and, in fact, everything he has to Jeannette Easterday. We, as a class, leave to Milton Bailey and Josephine Boner any hall privileges they may see fit to enjoy while they continue their love affair. Chas. Hendricks and Amelia Ellis, being too old and decrepid to enjoy the comforts of Joe Dillmore’s Hudson, give their interest in it to Chuck Birdsell and Mildred Dunn. Cecil Reichard wills his ability to blush to Allen Steele. Alleen Harris and Betty Oliver will their ability and desire to sere- nade innocent boys’ houses to any two young ladies who play the “Banjo- like.” Pauline Burt wills her supernatural complexion and her sweet dis- disposition to Frances Martin. Jimmy Snyder and Skinny Greene will their talent in Physics to any two young ladies who are suitable for the front row of Mr. Casserly’s room. Lyle Franks wills his knowledge of science to Eugene Forker. Atha Riddle leaves her ability to cross muddy streets with certain assistance to Helen Shroyer. Cy Blue leaves his condensed formulas, used in Chem., to George Rea. providing he will use them with discretion. Marguerite Smith leaves her bottle of peroxide labeled: “Guaranteed to make a peroxide blonde in three treatments,” to any underclassman who deep down in her heart feels the need of such an aid to her beauty. Marie Riodan leaves her talent in fancy dancing to Catherine Barr. Lois Walker wills her zoological ability to Marie Exton, who may make the science her life work. Elies Krieckhaus glady wills his influence over Miss McHarry in receiving excuses and good grades to any literary genius of the coming year. Frances Killefer gives her everlasting smile to Mildred Whitaker. Frances Webber leaves her acquired ability as a business manager and “chief boy fusser” to Catherine Baird. Bernice Webber gives her seat in Physics to Wuzzy Smith, porvided that she can fill it. We give and bequeath same to above parties and appoint Miss Rick- etts chief Executrix of this our last will and testament. Witnesses: George Cox George Rea Stewart Votaw Willis Atkinson. By A.

So read for pleasure, amusement, or bliss For predictions so given, are usually amiss. HE following is taken from E. W. K.’s “Complete Diary of the Class of 1921”, the fifteenth edition. The writer seems well versed in the history of the class, stating that many of the members are either rich, hap- pily married, or bachelor girls; and that they all know but little more than they did when they left U. H. S. This diary proves interesting namely because it pic- tures the class fifteen years hence. It reads thus— Maurice Evans, Ix ren Fletcher, George Yeh, and Herbert Frick—All earning a degree at Oxford. Helen Burpo—Queen of the Village Rose Hill. Sterling Roe and Frances Green—Very industrious doctors, who be- lieve in sparing the tonic and using the knife.

Whether ’tis nobler in the minds of the students to suffer The grades and disappointements, of the Senior year, Or to take up knowledge while a Freshman, And by studying, end them. To work; to study; No more; and by that to say we end The zeroes and the thousand natural shocks That students are heir to. ’Tis a new thing Devoutly to be wished. To work; to study;— To study? If not (perchance to flunk!) Aye, there’s the thing; For in that Senior year what exams may come. When we have played through all the years. To make us pause. g s (F if tit-one) (the Kasemani 9 VALEDICTORY HE attitude of the present day toward the high school is a wonderful contrast to the attitude of a half century ago. Then the high school was merely a superficial organization, rather scorned by the majority of the community. Only our grandfathers dreamed of at- tending high school, and their dreams were never realized unless their means made a college education possible. Our grandmothers stayed at home and be- came skilled in domestic tasks—buying, cooking, and sewing. Today it is plainly seen that girls obtain a high school education for, as the statistician has told you, our class consists of 61 girls and only 51 boys. We hope that the training that we girls have received has not been substituted for our grandmothers’ training. It should be only an addition. Today, high school is composed of two divisions of students—those who are preparing for advanced work and those who are not. Those who enter any institution of higher education will, of course, receive further training, but, as all of us Seniors know, Dean Clark says, “The morals of individuals are molded and their habits are formed in high school.” Those who, immediately upon being given their high school diplomas, begin a business life have already received their entire training. These circum- stances make the high school responsible for the very fashioning of so- ciety. The community is the smallest division of our government. The standards of the community are affected by every individual in the com- munity. No one is exempt. Since all of those individuals acquire their fundamental habits and morals in high school, and, more than that, since some obtain their entire training there, it is quite evident that the high school is not lacking in responsibility. A nation is composed of every com- munity within its borders. If the school develops the standards of the community, and if the community is the very core of the nation, ultimately the school develops the standards of the nation. Good citizenship and a more beautiful America is a dream—a dream which only the school can make a reality. Quite plainly, the effectiveness of a school depends upon the teachers. We Seniors now feel that no one will ever be as interested in making us good citizens as our teachers have been, no one can do more to bring about the realization of this dream than they have done. We believe Urbana High School is fulfilling her respon- sibilities. Thus it is with a combination of gratification and regret that we leave Urbana High School—gratification, because this school has given us the training that we need, and regret, because we have thoroughly en- joyed being a part of Urbana High School. To the teachers and to one other we each can say those heartfelt words of Lincoln, “I bid you an affectionate farewell.” Nesta Fitz-Gerald. •- .... , • • •• H Xu Xu X Xi •X '' ’■■■■■ • '■ ■ ■ ’5:‘ (Fifty-two) CLl]e Knsnuary HATCHET ORATION Senior Orator: Charles Chadsey. Junior Response: Josephine Boner. (We, the hatchet orators, desire to give to Miss Ricketts the credit of putting into rhyme the material furnished by 11s.) Charles Chadsey Josephine Boner. Senior: Full many a legend hath been told About this hatchet, wondrous old; Full many a song hath found its way From olden times to the present day, Telling whence this emblem came; And every tale lias added fame And interest to its mystic name. But careful research barred the truth Of ancient years to the present youth; And 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 Miama 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 They bubbled forth, their thirst to still, A sprin gof water, clear and cold, A comfort to those warriors bold. That C. M. Clark has a business lot. ’Tis near this old historic spot 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. The Indian Chief, Chicagou, strove In vain; the white man throve. (Fifty-three) £lic lui entaro j nr.TQT TTnTT rnr jr it Tru rr tt J ’ 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 man 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 buried beneath the hard earth’s 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 power 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, An answer in person for his class Before to them this hatchet may pass.

You asked each one along the hall! The Echo staff, the office force Must lend their aid to you, of course; With what relief our brains did whirl When we learned at last you had found a girl.

Robert Pitrat was elected Senior football captain. He showed himself capable in the position. The Senior football line-up was: John Maxfield, R.E.; Alden Blair, R.T.; John Mclnnes, R.G.; Loren Fletcher, C.; Stewart Votow, L.G.; Benny Ward, L.T.; Ward Seward, L. E.; Proctor Wallace, L.H.; Melvin Horton, F.B.; Robert Pitrat, R.H. Both Juniors and Seniors won all their games. The two classes therefore tied for first place, but because of the lack of football equipment the tie was never decided. The Seniors de- feated the Sophomores by a score of 19 to 0, while the Juniors defeated the Freshmen by 18 to 0. Lyle Franks was elected Senior basketball captain. The line-up of the Senior class basketball team was: Proctor Wallace, C.; Lyle Franks, R.G.; Herbert Frick, L.G.; Lyle Dahlenburg, L.F.; Benny Ward, R.F. The Juniors, Seniors, and Sophomores were tied as a result of only losing one game each, but as in the above case when the football teams were tied, the tie was never decided. —Benny Ward.

The first act opens in the court room of Judge Watts. Cassidey, O’Brien and Martin, the clerk, are discussing the case of a “fly-boird” arrested the night before. In this conversation of the two Irishmen, is introduced the brilliant comedy that runs thru the whole play. With a speech that contrasts the gentle- man and the courtroom, O’Brien introduces Lieut. Worburton. Worbur- ton, the night before had decided to play a joke on his sister Nancy by taking her groom’s clothes and his place on the box, and then jumping down and kissing her as she stepped out of the carriage. “I thought she would think it was William, you know—but------,” the Lieutenant ex- plained, “but, as luck would have it, I happened to get the wrong carriage.” The girl in the wrong carriage whom Worburton had surprised with a kiss was Miss Betty Annesley, the daughter of George Annesley a distinguished colonel, retired. Worburton, in order to save himself, changes his name and assumes the part of a groom. With the help of his friend, Charles Henderson, he gains his release. Betty, all the while hardly believes that the groom is a groom, and as a punishment for the kiss, Betty invites Worburton to enter into her employ. Worburton accepts, and the next act develops the comedy that would naturally exist when a gentleman is serv- ing in the presence of his friends. The comedy changes to the serious when Worburton discovers that Count Karloff, a Russian spy, is trying to force Colonel Annesley to betray his country. Worburton blocks this move, and the practical joke that Worburton and Betty have been playing turns into love. CAST OF CHARACTERS Lieutenant Robert Worburton Elies W.

As he finished scrubbing the porch, he dropped into the swing to take a smoke, before progressing with the rest of his duties. He breathed deeply, with a sigh of content, the soft June breeze as it came wafting over the hedge of honey suckle. “Gosh, it will seem good to have a little visit with those fellows again. It’s been almost a year since we all graduated together,” he mused. “There’s Jerry, an engineer, Al, a chemist, George, an athlete, Tod, an accountant, and Francis, a cheap musician; poor kid, I didn’t think he’d ever be anything else; he was al- ways pickin' at an old banjo or something, when we wanted to study. We sure had some good times though, and Francis always filled his place when we went out to serenade.” Just then a messenger boy come in the gate, and Jack rose from his comfortable place to meet him. He took the telegram and read it. His cousin Ray would be there at three-thirty. “Hurrah,” he shouted, “Ray’s a good sport. I wish we could plan something exciting.” Then he grabbed his broom and whistled his way out to the garage. The train pulled in at three-thirty, and the two fellows were busy shaking hands, each slapping the other on the shoulder and exclaiming how well or how brown the other was. “You’re just in time, Ray,” said Jack. “The fellows from the Gamma Gamma Signia house will be in tonight; some of my old chums, you know. The family are all away, so we can carry things high these few days.” They both laughed as they started for Jack’s car. “That’s slick, Jack, I have heard so much about those boys, that I’m surely anxious to meet them,” replied Ray. “I have just been wishing we could do something different; the town is pretty slow in summer.” “Oh, don’t worry about entertainment; you will all enjoy renewing old times at school,” Ray encouraged him. “I’ll tell you what, Ray, let me dress you in some of Sis’ old clothes so you can “kid the fellows along” a bit. Is that a go?” “I don’t know, Jack,” put in Ray. “I don’t believe I’d make a very good looking girl; I’m not hurt with good looks anyway.’ “Aw, come on, be a sport; you can try anything once.” So it was agreed. The time from then on was spent in disguising Ray. A little after six the fellows arrived, all rejoicing to be together again, and all hungry as bears. “When you have refreshed yourselves, fellows, I have a surprise for you,” Jack announced. In a few minutes they filed down the stairs and seemed to be as cool and fresh as though they had never ridden on a train. Then Jack stepped out; his face was beaming. “Now let me tell you what the surprise is, but I want you to be careful how you take it.

Al, you’re a good cook; I’ll let you boss the job,” said Jack, as he started for the kitchen. “We shall not let Angeline do a single thing this time. I imagine women do get tired of cooking.” They filed into the kitchen, but just as Angeline reached the door- way, Francis touched her arm and drew her into the garden. Kv I Hustling was going on in the kitchen as the five fellows were offering suggestions as to how much salt should be put into the potatoes, until Tod spied the couple in the garden talking earnestly. “What do you think of that! Francis is out there with Angeline already. Don’t that beat everything? He always did ‘knock ’em cold’ at first sight, anyway. He should be in here helping us, don’t you think, Jack? We never shall get supper if we don’t have plenty of help.” “Oh,” said Jack, smothering a laugh. “We’ll let him go this time. He can do his share of the work tomorrow.” Soon the bell sounded, calling the “roamers’ in. As they neared the porch all of the fellows made some remark. “That’s quick work, ol’ boy,” or “How did you do it?” “Just a minute,” Francis said. “May I meet you in the garden Wednesday night? Really I must tell you that I certainly enjoyed our short visit this evening.” ,“Why, surely,” Angeline assented, as she winked at Jack. When the meal was finished, all the men, save Jack, were a little slow in picking up the dishes, for they wondered who would have the next chance, but George succeeded in capturing her this time. “Would you like to go on the veranda and dance?” he began. “It’s so cool this evening.” Ray quivered as he remembered having never played the girl’s part in dancing, but he modestly accepted. The two stroiled out and George put a lively record on the victrola. “Oh, this will be wonderful in this moonlight,” he said, as he took his partner and started to “float” away. But it was in vain. Angeline was determined to go her own way, so con- sequently stepped all over his feet. “I must apologize,” Angeline tried to explain. “I have been leading the girls at boarding school, you know, and it has practically ruined my dancing with men.” “Oh, that’s perfectly all right. We will soon get used to each other, and then we will get along beautifully. Really, a—Miss Gillespie, I cer- tainly think we are fortunate in having you with us these few days.

When may I see you again?’ asked George, as he turned off the music. “Wednesday night in the garden, I believe, George,” she returned sweetly. Then Jerry, too, tried his luck at winning this new cousin, and he promised to meet her on Wednesday. Wednesday evening was a beautiful one, just like the kind you read about. Ray, disguised as Angeline, walked slowly through the garden and lingered here and there to examine the roses, as he awaited the lovers. a (Sixty-ciyht) ®lic Ixnsi'inaru One by one they all came; each stared at the others, wondering why they were there too. They sat in a group in the swings and seats in the garden, Jack on one side of Angeline and Francis on the other. “It’s a good thing you are cousins, Jack, or I’d suggest that you did not sit quite so closely there,” said Francis with an air of ownership. Just then Jack gave a leap. As he sat there in his cool sport shirt, Ray, seeing a fine, big, grasshopper, couldn’t resist the temptation to put it down Jack’s neck. In an instant Jack was upon him, and as a result the wig lay on the ground. Slowly all mouths dropped open, and each boy had a most dumbfounded expression on his face. At first the boys looked rather provoked, then they caught the humor of the situation and all burst into a hearty laugh. “Fellows” said Jack. “I want you to meet not mv cousin Angeline, but mv cousin Ray, and I’m sure that when you know him as a man, you will enjoy him just as much as you seemingly have these few days. —Florence Steele. jS § $ s ALONE ON THE TRAIL The sun has gone down, a breeze has sprung up And hurries away o’er the sands; The planets beam out and their rays take the shape Of beckomng seraphic hands; No sound breaks the calm of the limitless void Save the coyotes’ shuddering wail; The barren sand dunes rise bleak toward the sky, And I am alone on the trail. $ £• tjfl In a far-away land that I left one day— A day that seems ages ago— A man strides along; he is humming a song, And the crowd melts before him ’like snow, Through the garden he swings and carelessly sings As he crushes the flowers ’neath his feet; Then the heart in his breast lies dead through the years, Long fled is that vision so sweet. The old moon is up and her distorting beams Form fantastic shapes on the sands; As the night opens up like the heart of a grave, She illumines this strangest of lands.

Ane we still think we are going to be! We were 181 in number. We immediately elected class officers. They were: President, Byrns English (later in the year he desert- ed us); Vice-President, Frances Webber; Secretary, Raymond Maguire; Treasurer, Basil Broone; Histor- ian, Catherine Barr. Old Rose and Grey were chosen as our class colors. Everyone gasped as they watched us win the annual Stunt Show. And just think—never before had a freshman class carried away the prize! The name of the stunt was: “The Family Album ' ' Much credit was due the committee; Stewart Wright, chairman; Harriet Howe, Cath- erine Barr, Richard Blair, and the coach, Miss Lowenstern. In the fall of 1919 we returned, still determined to keep up our resolution of 1918, although our number had been reduced to 136. We elceted class officers: President, Frances Webber; Vive-President, Violet Root; Secretary, Catherine Barr; Treasurer, Esther Wilson; Historian, Ruth Hackley; Faculty Adviser, Miss Price. Our boys came out with colors flying in football. Omar Allman and Robert Pollard received their U’s. Then, the Stunt Show Committee was appointed as follows: Stewart Wright, Chairman; Catherine Barr, Frances Martin, Estin Bigelow, and Ramon Maguire. The committee, after careful thought, elected Miss Ricketts as coach. The committee and coach worked hard and faithfully. They produced a stunt called “In Gnoman’s Land.” At first the Sopho- mores were triumphant, in a blaze of glory, (our leading man had red hair) winning by a vote of four to one. Were we happy! We again fulfilled our great expectations by winning the Frailey cup, given for the first time to the winning class debating team. Our team consisted by Emily Putnam, Nora Null, Josephine Boner, (no—not all girls) and Basil Politt for alternate. Our basketball team; Kenneth Smith, Donald Busey, Charles Webber, Omar Allman, Robert Pollard, and Allen Steele, he!d our banner of vic- tory high, by winning the Inter-class Basketball Championship. The sophomore party was consiered an event of social history. It was rumored that it was the most successful party of the year, (we really believe it was!) due, of course, to the committee; Robert Pollard, Frances Martin, Helen Grimes, Roland Manning, Margaret Smith, and William Shrover. The climax of the evening was the presentation of 22’s to the basketball team. Alas! We must not forget our girls! They also honored us by win- ning the championship in the class Captain Ball Tournament. Urbana High School was represented at the Northwestern Inter- scholastic track meet by two sophomores, Allen Steele and Omar Allman. Allen Steele won first place in the pole vault. Another year gone! And we entered school for our next to the last year, with 110 people to continue our brilliant career of 1918 and 1919. Class officers were elected: President, Josephine Boner; Vice-Presi- dent, Omar Allman (but Omar left us in January, so we elected Carl Walker as vice-president) ; Secretary, Sylvia Harter; Treasurer, Gene- ■5 m Igg _________________ ___________ ________________________ oil Sa a '.-j M i £ (3 i ■a '■r-i g £ M | I $ m I I 3 g Eg I I «ijNi (Srrrnhf-cif ht) {The luisemaru 8 k vieve Gere; Historian, Frances Martin; Echo Representative, Lucile Nicolet; Faculty Adviser, Miss Battaiile. We were especially proud of our wonderful showing in football. Kenneth Smith, Omar Allman, Stewart Wright, Allen Steeie, and Lowell Hissong represented us on the first team and John Hill was captain of the second team. Omar Allman was elected football captain for the year of 22. Hurrah for Omar! October 29 was the date set for the annual Junior-Senior party. The following committee worked unceasingly: Music—Richard Riley, chairman; Howard Gill, Bernice Webber, Genevieve Gere. Games—Frances Martin, chairman; Wayne Clemens, Lucile Nicolet, Ted Judy. Entertainment—Marie Riordan, chairman; Thomas Gorman, Cath- erine Barr, Elies Kreikhaus. Decoration—Roland Manning, chairman; Pauline Burt, Margaret Smith, William Henderson. Refreshments—Agnes Manning, chairman; Donald Busey, Bertha Gibson, Lyle Snyder. General Manager—Frances Martin. This party was a brilliant and interesting affair. We are sure every one there had “the time of his life.” A Stunt Show committee consisting of: Roland Manning, chairman; Catherine Barr, Frances Martin, Ruth Towle, Carl Walker, was ap- pointed. After due consideration of the committee, Miss Ricketts was chosen coach. A clever and stunning stunt entitled, “What Dreams are Made Of,” was presented. The committee and coach worked constantly and per- sistently until the Stunt was near perfection. We lost, receiving only one vote! But we were not discouraged because the public was so well pleased with our Stunt. The Junior debating team: Nora Null, Josephine Boner, Ruth Bind- ley, again received the Frailey Debating Cup. Nora Null and Kitty Kempner represented the Juniors on the Varsity team. Oma Allman was elected Captain of our basketball team, consisting of: Howard Gid, Charles Webber, Frank Corey, Theodore Gudgel, and Kennueth Smith. Omar left us so Ralph Freeman was elected Captain. The Sophomore Class asked if they might have the honor of giving a party with us. We granted their request and on April 12th was the grand event! It was quite a success due to the committee: Margaret Smith, Margaret Birchard, George Still, and Ruth Savage. But—all of these parties are trifles compared to the Junior-Senior Reception! We knew, of course, that the Seniors would want something big to remember their last and best year. In order to please them we gave a reception in their honor. We can truthfully say that the Seniors thought “Oh ! what a grand party!” “Goodness!” What a class is the class of ’22, we can hear you exclaim as you read of our achievements. We have only one more year to hold our good name, but in that one more year we will show you how we will con- clude our resolution of 1919. For, after all, next year is our last but best year. :■ •. (Srvciitit-niiir) (Liu' 3absi'uuu u mmj.iram! r; x «u. jjix I i i JUNIOR ATHLETICS iHE Juniors were well represented on the Varsity foot- ball squad by: Stewart Wright, Kenneth Smith, Allen Steele, Charles Blue, John Hill, Lowell Hissong, and Omar Allman—the latter being elected to the cap- taincy for 1922. In class football, the Juniors did very well in that they defeated the only team they played, the Fresh- men, with a score of 18-0. Each team only played one game so the championship was divided between the Juniors and Seniors. Bad weather conditions was the explanation given for not completing the class game schedule. By the time the basketball season arrived, U. H. S. began to think that all athletes came from the brilliant Junior class. Earl Winchester, Paul Manning, Thomas Gorman and Ralph Freeman were our basketball stars. On account of the district tournament, the class tournament was not finished. However, the Juniors, Sophomores and Seniors tied. The Following scores were the result of the class games: Second Team (rames First Team Games Seniors (5, Juniors 12 Sophomores 7, Juniors 9 Freshman 0, Juniors 3 Seniors 11. Juniors 14 Sophomores 22. Juniors 10 Freshman 4. Juniors 10 Thanks is especially given to the wonderful ability with which Ralph Freeman, the Junior basketball captain, handled his men. Allen Steele represented the school on the Varsity Track team and Thomas Gorman in the relay races. The school feels a heavy loss in not having Omar Allman for track, but the Juniors are looking for him back next year to win more laurels for himself and the Class of ’22. As a class, we sincerely feel that we have been a success athletically, and we challenge any one to find a class any where that shows a better spirit toward athletics and supports its athletes better than we—the Juniors. I1 M 1 I Ml AU Ml Ml Ml Ml (Eighty) t 1 nsnuaru I JUNIOR DEBATING | HE Juniors had an interesting as well as a successful debating year. It was a success only because the Junior class as a whole was behind it. The Junior team took part in two debates and won the silver cup again for the class of ’22. 1;==®:== - ■ The first debate was held with the Seniors. ---BThe question decided upon, after much discussion, was, “Resolved: That Urbana High School should m adopt student self-government.” The Senior team was strong, and the contest was “snappy.” The Juniors were mighty dubious when they beheld those white slips coming to the desk. Every- thing came out all right, though, and the class of ’22 was happy. The final debate was held December 3 with the Sophomores, the win- ners of the Freshman-Sophomore Debate. The question discussed was, “Resolved: That Ireland should be granted complete independence.” When the Juniors were ready for the debate, they might just as well have been transformed into Irish maidens with red pig-tails and freckles, for they certainly did believe in “Ireland for the Irish.” To make a long story short the decision was 2-1 in favor of the Juniors. That decision won the cup. But let me tell you, if you want good sportsmanship, a hard fight, and real live pep, just “pitch in” to the Sophomores. That was the last debate of the season and the class of ’22 hope to see “Seniors” engraved on the Mrs. Frailey cup next year. —Nora Null. tEhe IRosemaru LONELY HEARTS am terribly lonely. I would like to make the acquaint- ance of a good, honest, sincere gentleman—preferably one tall and dark. I have light brown eyes and red- dish hair streaked with gray. I am 5 ft. 4 in. tall, weigh 155 lbs. and am 45 years of age. I would like to start correspondence immediately.” M. L. L. Legroda, Indiana. Box 187. As Tom read this, his outbursts of laughter made his companions “sit up and take notice.” Zip, his chum, who was very much engrossed in the latest novel, said in a somewhat disgusted manner, “What is the idea Tom? I can’t see any- thing very humorous in that!” “Maybe you can’t, but wait until you hear all. Boys I’m going to have some fun with ‘M. L. L.’ ” “Fun?” they exclaimed in chorus. “Break it gently, Tom, what are you up to now? Surely you won’t write to her!” “Why not? Don’t I answer the description?” “Yes,” they agreed, “you are tall and dark; but, man, she is forty-five years old. Do you think she wants to adopt you?” “Nevertheless, I’m going to answer it. She hasn’t specified any age so what difference will that make? She will never see me. Forget Jt, boys, nothing serious will develop, I assure you.” The little incident was soon forgotten by the rest of the crowd and Tom was wise enough to keep it quiet for a while—at least until he was sure the joke wasn’t on him, as someone had predicted. A few weeks later the boys met at the club again. All of them seemed to be enjoying the evening to the fullest extent, except Tom, who seemed very moody. It was a very uncommon thing for Tom, the life of the crowd, to seem so depressed. Finally Bob asked Zip if he had noticed it. Zip said he had but thought Tom was probably worried about some of his exams. “No, it can’t be that,” said Bob. “I can’t imagine Tom Dixon ever worrying about exams. His reports are always better than ours, and I doubt if he knows what it is to have to study.” “At any rate, there is something on his mind,” returned Zip. “Just leave him alone and time will reveal it all,” he said with a knowing smile —for he understood but would not betray Tom’s secret. But it was not necessary for Zip to explain, for Tom could not keep his secret very long. “Boys,” he began, “I have gotten myself into a rotten mess. You know I told you that I was going to answer that advertisement. Well, I did and the answer to my letters have been one surprise. Can you imagine that the writer of that advertisement writes letters about dances, sunrise breakfast, etc?” “Dances and sunrise breakfasts,” laughed Bob. “Surely you don’t mean M. L. L.’s letters?” “Right you are! But the worst is yet to come! She is coming here to visit her cousin and has invited me over to dinner Wednesday evening. You have to help me. You know that I can’t go!” “Whether you can go or not is not the question. You are going if we have to drag you. We warned you to keep out of it, but you wouldn’t listen to us, now it is our turn to get it back on you.” I 50002 SfflSSSEE51 $ I '3 i I i 3 I 1 m 1 i (I'.iiihl j-two) Ift i ft ft i ft ft ft H e Ixosinnaru “All right,” agreed Tom. “I suppose it is the only thing to do. But let me tell you one thing, it won’t take me long to explain it all and to make my exit. Wednesday evening, you boys meet me here at 7:30 sharp, and I’ll tell you how it all turned out.” The promise was soon won. On his way home, Tom sincerely wished that he has never seen a newspaper and solemnly swore that he would never read the “Lonely Hearts” items again. Wednesday evening all the boys were on time to hear the results of the visit. 7:30-8 o’clock—8:30-9 o’clock. What could be the matter? No one could understand it, but all determined to see it through. At 9:30 in came Tom, his face wreathed in smiles. “Man! She is wonderful!” “Wonderful!” they echoed. “Tom, what do you mean? Be serious!” “Never was more serious in my life,” he rejoined. “But don’t look so confounded, I can explain it all. First instead of a short, fat, middle aged woman, whom did I meet but a slender, dainty, little blonde. No, I didn't faint, but I’ll admit that I had to gasp for breath. I determined at once not to make any more blunders, so I confessed all and asked her for an explanation. She told me that her maiden aunt, whose initials were the same as hers, had put the advertisement in the paper. She had received her aunt’s mail by mistake and as soon as she read my letter she under- stood it all. She said she had heard Enid Craig’s brother Max speak of me and decided that it would be a good joke on me. I’ll admit it was not only a good but a very desirable joke.” “Hum-p!” growled Bob. “I bet you knew it all of the time. Guess I’d better go. Promised to get in early. By the way, Tom. in what paper did you say the ‘Lonely Hearts’ were found?” Lucile Nance. M ft si iRf e ft ft ft ft- K?

That was our class and so, this is our history. Being freshmen, we were, of course, very green; and naturally it took us quite a while to consider the vastness of our surroundings the great multitude of the High School clan, and all other most astounding facts. But in time we awoke; and, just as decades of freshnlen before us have done, we realized that we were truly a part of it all. Accordingly, we held our first class meeting. There we elected the following officers: President. 5 ‘ b' g i As our Class Adviser we chose Miss Thornsburg. Through the co- operation of these officers we have been guided to form this history. In November we held our first party. As the respective seasons passed, our “men” showed much skill in football, basketball, track and swimming. The girls’ teams also deserve mention in captainball, volley- ball and swimming. Even though we lost our debate, the team, consist- ing of Mary Flom, Richard Layman, and Paul Miles, was certainly worthy of praise. Soon we held another party, but right here, to our utter dis- gust, our freshman year ended. We returned in the fall of 1920, and very soon a sophomore class meeting was held. At this meeting we discovered that we had lost some of our old members and had gained many new ones whom we gladly wel- comed into our class. We elected these officers for the year: President Kenneth Douglass Vice President William Noble Secretary.............................................Frederick Riley Treasurer Mildred Whitaker Historian ......Mary Flom Faculty Adviser............................................Miss Osborne After all the necessary preparations, including the adoption of a constitution, we again let fly our ’23 banner. Members of our class have taken active parts in the Literary and Debating Society and other school organizations, in our Annual Stunt Show, in the various school plays, in the High School Carnival, in ath- letics and in the publication of the Echo, in which Jesse Prather was Business Manager for the year and Harold Holmes was Atheltic Editor and Sophomore Representative. The humorous selection in the Charleston Contesa was given by Vernalee Burpo. By reference to our athletic record, you may see what wonderful work we have accomplished in this line. In debating we also deserve much credit. Our team, after working very hard, won the first debate but lost the second one, by one vote. In the Annual Stunt Show we displayed our talent at its best. The play “Bill Shake’s Romeo and Juliet” was presented. It was written and developed by the following committee: Catherine Strabel (Chairman), Virginia Thornsburg, Vera Marr, Lucile Rankin, Kenneth Douglass, Floyd Sperry, and Allen Waldo. In this tragedy, the part of Juliet was played by Juanita Phillips, and the part of Romeo by Milton Bailey, while Ed- Vice President Virginia Thornsburg Secretary Milton Bailey Treasurer Mildred Whitaker Historian Beatrice Watson I d $ ■3 I I it gj (Eight y-eight) in- ward Jackson starred as Paris Green, the villian, His memorial “I hate to Lose You” shall never be forgotten. This is a synopsis of the play: A party guest unbidden comes Romeo, The son of Jones, much hated by the Smiths Whose daughter Juliet he spies and loves. And she, also, loves him so they are wed In secrecy, because her father wills That she wed Paris Green, a family friend. Befriended by a priest, she drinks a drug. Meanwhile the household mourns for her as dead. Within the touch she wakes to find her love Has killed his rival and then stabbed himself, And so she ends her life’s vain dream in death. Their souls to fairer realms then take their way. After the show was over, the decision was not in our favor, although it was a very evident fact that the audience was well pleased with our stunt And we are happy to have persuaded the judges to cast two, out of the five votes, for us. Time passed much too quickly. April approached. During the early part of this month a Sophomore-Junior party was held. It was a great success, being the first party held at Urbana High by these two classes, combined. The program was entitled “Week In—Week Out”. Mondav was represented by “School;” Miss Ricket’s office at 9:45, the cafeteria line, topped by Mike’s “Make a single line, please!” and Miss Rompel’s notorious eighth hour English class. Tuesday was the “Orph”— the audience was entertained by Helen Maguire as a solo dancer. Wed- nesday was “Prayer Meeting.” The topic discussed by Reverend Pastor, Floyd Sperry was “School.” He notified the public that the following Wednesday night Charles Havens would address the public on a topic concerning the devil of which subject he was full. Thursday was the “Circus Parade” or the grand march into the gym where Saturday was represented by a dance. Here the Sophomore Orchestra supplied the music. Refreshments were served. Everyone had a most enjoyable time. You must certainly agree with us that the Sophomore class is mak- ing itself very prominent by its continued entrance into all school activ- ities. We are looking forward to our one more social gathering this year. So, at last, the end of the term has arrived. And, now, we are leaving behind our Sophomore year so chockfull of fun, of labor, and of achieve- ments. And it is for you to judge if we are or are not fulfilling what the mystic Alla Axiom had foretold us at the beginning of our Freshman year: “You are destined to be the best class that has ever been or ever will be graduated from Urbana High School.” —Mary Flom. (Kiflhty-nine) GMMMMMMMMJM ®lje l nsentaru SOPHOMORE ATHLETICS AST year as Freshmen we did not make a great success of our athletics. We had our teams and played our games, but we won practically nothing except a repu- tation. This year we again put up a team in football, but, due to the fact that Mr. Bronson’s time was taken up with varsity work, the games were not played. Then came basketball. We entered a first and a second team in this tournament, confident of winning both parts of the contest. We did win the second team pennant and tied with upper classes for first place in the first team fight. With this honor on hands we thought it only right and proper that we should give numerals to those who played. Accordingly, at the Sophomore- Junior party, the following boys were awarded numerals by the president - ■ $ i 1 of the class: First Team: Harry Rose (Capt.), Milton Bailey, Kenneth Douglass, Allan Waldo, Floyde Sperry, Edward Green, Roy Kelly, and George Rea. Second Team: Charles Havens, Marion Marberry, Elmer Hoggatt, Dean Houk, Harold Vandervort, and Joe Wiley. The score of the games were: First Team Second Team Sophomores... Sophomores 22, 20, Juniors Freshmen 10 2 Sophomores. Sophomores ... 9, Juniors 14, Freshmen 7 2 Sophomores ... 6, Seniors 17 Sophomores 4.

There was no track meet this year so we lost an opportunity to add laurels to our fame. The following is a list of the members of our class who, at some time or other, have made a High School first or second team: Adrian Stock- will, Elmer Hoggatt, Roy Kelly, Glen Hurd, Kenneth Douglass, George Rea, Milton Bailey, Joe Blair, Allan Waldo, and Joe Wiley. Now you have the facts, and you may decide for yourself whether or not our class is worthy of mention in athletics.

After a short coaching by Miss Osborne, Mr. Arnolds, a representative of the University Varsity Team, selected the team as follows: Naomi Wyninger, Mary Flom, Paul Miles, and Richard Woolbert, alternate. The first inter-class debate of this year was the Freshman-Sophomore Debate, held on November twelfth. The subject was, “Resolved: That Chinese Immigration Laws should be revised to include the Japanese.” The Sophomores worthily upheld the negative by these proofs: First, it is Un-American; second, it is unjustifiable; third, it is unsafe. This debate was very logically presented. Thanks to their frank and faithful coach, Miss Beckwith, the decision was unanimous in their favor. In the last debate of the season, the final interscholastic debate, the contestants were the Sophomore and Junior teams. This debate was held December 3. The topic was, “Resolved: Ireland should be granted complete independence.” In order to determine the sides, the debaters were compelled to flip coins. A ferocious looking Indian pro- claimed that the Sophomores should support the negative. They worked very hard on this debate. Not a pamphlet, magazine or book escaped their devouring eyes. But Fate will not always walk around the ladder, and so the Sophomores lost by one vote. Looking forward, the Sophomores dedicate to the ’23 Junior Team this motto. “Iuvemini de exemplo nostra!” —Mary Flom.

They had nothing to do and so decided to tell a few yarns of their most interesting cases. It happened that I was the last one of the group, and as each story, so far, had been a little more far fetched than the one preceeding, the men looked at me expectantly, and I decided not to refuse them a wild tale. The men settled down to listen. “Back in the year of ’12, I had a call from----but wait! I’ll tell the story as it happened. Here is the story.” Smith’s head protruded slowly from under his “flivver.” After much puffing and blowing, he raised himself to his full four feet six inches and said, “It s gone, and I can’t light it.” By the dim light of the flickering lantern, he found his way to the house. Marching straight to the bed room, he roused his sleeping wife. “It’s gone,” he said, “what shall I do?” “You’d better call the police, John,” she said. Quickly he rushed to the telephone stand and seized the instrument. “Gimme the Police Station, quick,” he said. “Hello, Police Station? ------Say, this is Smith, and it’s gone, so hurry right over.------? Yes, all right, good-by.” Confusion reigned in the Yaps Crossing Police Station. A call for aid had been sent in. The men grabbed their guns, and jumped into their little red “Lizzie,” as it was called. Clang! Clang! Clang! The peace of the early morning was broken. A police call was an unusual event, and quickly the town was crowded with excited men. “Where is the call from?” “John Smith’s,” someone answered. “Come on, men,” shouted one bold-hearted adventurer, “they may need our help.” Silently the twenty or thirty men went to the home of John Smith. The police were ahead of them and had already searched the attic. The men silently joined in the hunt. They searched the closets, the bedrooms, the bathroom, the stove, the cabinet, and even looked in the old shoes, but could not find it. The men looked at their chief for help. Finally a conference was called. What was to be done? After much arguing and talking over the subject, they decided to call for a detective from the nearby city of Pinx. Two men were dispatched to go to the telegraph office and to send for a detective. They had no sooner reached the door than someone said, “We forgot to search the barn.” So they had. They rushed to the barn and tore up everything. Finally they began on the Ford. Under the seats, in the tool-box, in the engine, under the car, everywhere they looked, until all were tired, and the barn looked as if a cyclone had struck it. Silently they filed out. “Well,” said one, “It’s gone.” When the two men called for a detective, I happened to be the only one off duty, so of course I had to go. I arrived about three hours later, just about dawn, only to find the men still searching. When they saw me. they shouted with one accord: “It’s gone.” (Ninety-two) : yjj: 51« ;y� y y y, y_.; yy y y■.. (j (jj l tfSl'UttU U • . ’Jj!

So to the barn we went, and after a half hour of searching, one of us said to another. “Sh-h-h. Say, what’s gone?” “Why, I don’t know.” “Say, let’s ask him,” pointing at me. So to me they came. “Sh-h-h. Say, what’s gone?” “Well, to tell the truth, I don’t know,” said I. “Let’s ask Smith,” said the spokesman. “All right,” I readily agreed. We went to the house and silently aproached Smith. “Sh-h-h. Say, what’s gone?” “Oh!” said Smith, “Why, I forgot to tell you. It’s the wick!” ft A great silence fell upon the room. “Oh! er-ah-ho!

Musty as any classic was its odor, and turpid were its depths. The Eighth Graders were discussing whether or not they wanted to go to high school. “0, I don’t want to go to high school. I want to get out and work and become a man of the world,” cried Fred Wilkey. “I don’t want to go because I might become as thin as Eva. I’ll have to study so hard!” growled Willie Tipton. “I wouldn’t miss high school for anything, there are so many pretty girls, you know,” commented Philip Newton. My dears! I’m so thrilled! I saw the handsomest boy the other day, and I just know he's a Junior at least!” exclaimed Marion Baker. “And it will be such a fine place to learn scientific names with seven- teen letters to spring on my friends!” commented Harold Watts. “Aw, you kids make me tired, always going on about what a fine time you’ll have. Why, you know you’ll have a splitting headache every night from studying so hard.” This last came from the farthest edge of the bunch. “1 want to stay at home and do nothing,” drawled one lazy girl. “Why high school is going to be terrible—” “Children, what are you saying!” exclaimed a voice behind them. Turning about suddenly, they saw a little brown dwarf with a tall peaked cap, surmounted with a tiny silver bell that tinkled loudly as he shook his head with a look of surprise and disappointment on his face. “You don’t know what you are talking about! You’ll enjoy high school. Let me show you what it is like,’ he continued. The children were so frightened and fascinated that they could say nothing. They watched him as he proved that he was a real magician, by waving his hands over the Boneyard and then making it become a clear, crystal pool. “Look in this pool and you will see your first year at high school.” “First, most of your friends and classmates will enter high school. You will have a good time, study hard, and like your teachers. You will have a class.election, and the following officers will be elected: President—William English. Vice-President—Ruth Langhoff. Secretary—Kenneth Keller. Treasurer—Helen Holmes.’ Historian—Dorothy Gray. Echo Representative—Hortense McKenzie. You will win first place in the stunt show, much to the surprise and envy of the classes. You will lose, as far as the decision is concerned, in the Freshman-Sophomore debate, but you will do well. The ones who debate will be William English, Philip Hundley, Elizabeth Blair and Irene Zach. Philip Hundley will be a varsity debater, a feat which almost no Freshman has accomplished.” The class gave a whoop of derision, but the dwarf evidently had faith in his own prophesy, which time has shown the rest to be true. He calmly continued: “You will lose in class athletics because of lack of practice and the small size of your boys.” He looked up with a mocking I a i (Ninety-eight) smile on his face. “But you’ll grow! Oh, yes, you’ll grow.” “However, one of your Freshmen, Ralph Douthit, will be on the football and basket- ball teams.” No one doubted this, and Ralph certainly has lived up to the record he then had, and which his father had before him. “You will have a class party at which you will have a good time, a very good time. Your handsome President, William English, will be guest of honor, for he will be about to leave at that time for East St. Louis. You will give another party which will be much more elaborate than the first. All your Freshman year will be filled with good times, friends and study. Then you say that you will not enjoy high school.” “Oh, yes, we will enjoy it. 1 am going, aren’t you?” They all decided that they would. Just as there was a unanimous decision, the electric bell at Thornburn rang and all rushed peilmell to the various classrooms, leaving the dwarf to jump onto a passing leaf, float down the stream, and disappear in the stream under the bridge. And now the Freshmen, with all their greenness, all immatureness, all that about them that seems so silly to the older classmen are glad that they will be Sophomores and sophisticated next year. But Ooh! You Freshmen Year! ! —Dortiiy Gray. (Ninety-nine) JRtfscutavy FRESHMEN ATHLETICS MALL boys” is the cause for the Freshmen not win- ning everything. The Freshmen can't win every- thing because we have so many. The past classes of Freshmen did not win everything so what more could the Urbana High School expect of us? Our class athletics might be compared with the other class teams as a lion is to an elephant. While the lion is small, he is the prey of the elephant; but when he is grown, he is the elephant’s worst enemy. So it is with the Freshmen and the upperclassmen. Never mind Freshmen, we’ll be big and grown someday, too. Just you wait and see. Not much can be said of our football season, for we played only one game. It was pretty rough and we felt considerably mussed up. How- ever, the score was only 18 to 0. The basketball team had the same luck as the football team, not win- ning a game. They played other teams outside of the class teams and were more successful, but of course these teams offered less resistance. And we must not forget the second team for they played several good games, but always had bad luck when it came to the final score. ! r22:22‘22:22 22 22 22 2 u 22 22 i (Our Hundred) !h'3 ®he Hnsentaru FRESHMAN DEBATE N November 1, 1920, the English teachers announced that on the Friday of the next week the tryouts for the Freshman-Sophomore Inter-class Debate would be held. The question for the tryouts was, “Re- solved: That the $10,000 spent on a shelter house in Crystal Lake Park could have been spent to a better advantage on some other city improvement.” About twenty Freshmen were present at their tryout at which the first eight debaters were chosen. At a second tryout a team of three members and an alter- nate were picked. They are: William English, Elizabeth Blair, and Philip Hundley, with Irene Zack as the alternate. The question decided upon for the Freshman-Sophomore debate was: “Resolved, That the present Chinese immigration laws should be amended to include the Japanese.” Our captain. Bill English, pulled the “long string,” and we were given the affirmative side of the question. After about a week and a half of practice we clashed with the Sophs on Novem- ber 12, at 7 o’clock. About fifty people were present at the debate; and after a hard fought battle had been staged, the judges gave a decision of 3-0 in favor of the negative. Mr. Williamson, Mr. Casserley, and Mr. Garett acted as judges. Take Courage, O! Ye Freshmen! For although the Sophs did win, None were on the Varsity, And a Freshman was, as you’ve seen. We are proud that a Freshman made the Varsity team, but again it is only a proof of the stuff the Class of ’24 has in it. Philip Hundley has three years to grow in the power of oratory. Watch out for us next year! —Philip Hundley. (One Hundred One) (Lht' luismnary 1 i 1 home. During the coming of dusk, their accordions NYMPH STORY HE lived in the Bohemian settlement with her old grand- parents. The little girls who lived in the settlement all looked alike to an outsider. Their skins were tan, noses straight, cheek bones high, and hair and eyes a glowing brown. They wore bright colored dresses, no shoes and stockings, and their hair plaited in one tight braid. It was a carefree life these people led. The settlers were gypsies just having reached the state of a settled day, they farmed or watched their cattle. With the all the people gathered together, bringing with them and tambourines. Always with the cover of darkness they built a bonfire; the firelight caused queer shadows to fall upon the circle of people and upon the dancing girls. The music was tinkling, soft, and weird. The motherless little girl was regarded by the other children with contempt, and wa soften the victim of their ridicucle. That is why she hated the Bohemian tongue, the smeary women, the noisy men, and the barking dogs; and that is why the evening services filled her with a longing for freedom. She wished to be free from these unclean people who loved darkness better than sunshine. With every night came the declaration of her hatred, and the poor grandparents were informed that the child was a curse, and that she brought trouble upon them all. Their superstitions were confirmed when even the dogs skulked away from her. With each morning came the determination to win freedom, and with each evening came grief and disappointment. On a beautiful May day, the girl was gathering flowers in the woods. She was startled to have a group of school girls and then matron enter the clearing. At the sight of her they stopped. Then with a lusty yell one shouted, “Gypsies!” All turned and ran except the woman. She looked carefully around and then asked the child, “Where did you get those beautiful flowers, little nymph?” She walked over to the girl, took her by the hand and said, “Please show me the place.” The child’s lips parted, her eyes danced and with a clear, “Sure, ’ skipped off into the swamp which was a mass of pink, lavender, and gold blossoms. She filled the woman’s arms with flowers; they rejoined the girls. The gypsy maiden accompanied them to their car-line and refused to return to the settlement. She cried so pitifully that the girls were touched and agreed to take her to the city with them and then decide her fate. During their short journey, they learned her story. They decided to take her to their school and attempt to reform her. The bathing, shoes, and tight dresses caused her much suffering, indeed. She calmly endured all and set about her studies so studiously, she progressed wonderfu 1 lv. True, the life was hard and new, and the girls often became dis- couraged with her. She once heard one of the girls say, “She has such a fierce complexion, and she’s as stubborn as a mule if we suggest a treat- ment.” Misunderstanding the term “treatment” she did something that ‘W SSI QfiQfiSSSfSr (One Hundred Two) CLlu' Ixnscmant nearly ruined her complexion for life. Preparing herself with hot water, a bar of laundry soap, and a brush, she so thoroughly rubbed the skin that for two weeks she had to keep her face bathed in lotion. After trying to call her by her gypsy name, some suggested an American name. The matron suggested “Nymph” as an appropriate one, and so this became her name. She spent her girlhood at this school and not once did she suggest a return to the old life. She specialized in science and became a teacher and an astronomer. Every clear night the winds awaken a stirring in her heart. She was a beautiful woman, and besides being very intelligent, she was gifted with a talent for music. Never did she speak of her early life, notwithstanding which fact, she was regarded as peculiar. Somehow, she seemed never to fit into the background. It was not that she held herself aloof, for she was a bright, friendly woman, but people involuntarily felt that she would make a good figure on a throne. She felt this difference during the day, but at night the stars kept her company. One May night she took the little suburban car to the swamp which was near the old Bohemian settlement. She quickly traversed the ground to the campfire of the settlement. As the accordions began to play, her clear voice sang out the opening strain of the familiar old gypsy song. It was a new circle that had gathered around the campfire; the old people were gone; there was a place for the returned daughter. At last the longing in her heart was quieted. She was at home!

The people of this district elect as their representatives in school affairs a board of education, consisting of a president and six members. These are elected for a term of 3 years, with the ex- ception of the president, whose election is for one year only. The term of two members expires each year. This Board of Education elects a superintendent of schools, with whose help and advice they appoint a principal of the high school, an assistant principal, and the other necessary teachers. It is the work of the principal to plan a course of study and outline the general policies of the school. Before school opens in the fall he makes a complete program for each teacher’s day’s work, and plans definitely for the routine work of the school. He must supervise the work of the teach- ers, giving advice when needed, and in general keep in touch with the work in every department, in order to know that all work is being kept up to the standard our school demands. Major cases of discipline also go through his hands. To the assistant principal has been assigned the plans for registra- tion and the charge of attendance. Minor cases of discipline go through her hands also. The plans for registration have been very carefully worked out. If a new student wishes to register he must have a permit from the super- intendent, and present his credentials from his former school. If he is entering as a freshman from our own eighth grade, great care is taken to see that he takes the required subjects, and elects those most suited to his aims in future school work, i. e., if he really knows what course he wishes to pursue. To these subjects, usually four in number is added the physical training required of all. If the student has been in our school before his credit card is consulted and we make sure that he does not fail to register for any required subject in which he has failed to make a passing grade the year before. A list of absentees is collected from each teacher each period in the some one of them helps each student to make the best possible program for each day’s work. Cards are made out for each period of the day for each pupil. These cards are sent to each teacher, so that on the day school BaSSQBSZ rjl ,,r- 1 (One Hundred Six) CL hi' HRnsrutaru 5 Z0S5800S0gg5CS | § opens, each teacher has a card for every pupil who should appear in her room during the day, and noting the period due, and subject taken. In this way the pupils are well settled on the very first day. After this time no changes in classes or study periods is made with- out going through the hands of the assistant principal. A list of absentees is ollected from each teacher each period in the day. Any irregularity in the report is checked immediately if possible. A list of absentees from all classes is put into the hands of each teacher the following morning. No pupil whose absence is not marked excused on this list is admitted to any class the next day without a slip from the office. This careful system has practically eliminated all irregular at- tendance at classes. As a final record, each pupil has a page in a large record book upon which is recorded any absence or tardy and whether it is excused. Rec- ords of grades in each subject by months is kept by each teacher on grade sheets. An average of these grades counts two-thirds and final examin- ation one-third in making up the semester grade. This semester grade in each grade is copied on a permanent card for each pupil which is kept alphabetically arranged in a card index, so that the credits made by each pupil, and what subjects are necessary for him to take to complete his course, or for entrance to the university are readily ascertained at the time of registration in the fall. A program of each pupil is kept at the office so that a pupil may be located at any period of the day. The poiicy of the administration is to be firm in its demands, and kind in their execution, and to have it always at heart the best interests of the pupils as individuals, and the school as a whole. Miss Ricketts, Assistant Principal. I (One Hundred Seven) Mgs; IM, come here a minute! I want to ask you some- thing,” called Jane. Jimmy came walking reluctantly into the living room. He was only ten, and ten. you know, is that age when one doesn’t care to be ordered around by older people? “Well, what do you want?” “Can you tell me where that box of themes, that I put away so carefully in the bookcase ,is? You remember it was a yellow box tied with black ribbon, don’t you ?” “Sure, it was just today that I dumped all of the pa- pers into the waste basket and used the box to make a dog carriage for Friskie.” “Oh! And with a shriek, Jane ran for the waste-basket, emptied it on the floor, and delved among the debris to find her precious themes that she had slaved over, the themes that she regarded with love and pride. Yes, down at the very bottom of the pile lay her manuscripts of art. One, two, three—they were all there. “Jimmy! If you ever again treat my property in such a fashion, I will, well, I don’t know what I won’t do.” With a wicked grin shining cheerfully on his more than generous mouth, Jimmy gave his sister a loving nudge. “I’m sorry, Janie. Re-al-ly!” It was growing dark, and the light from the fireplace threw pleas- ing shodows and glints on the figures of the boy and girl as they sat on the hearth. “Gee, I’m dawgone tired, Jane. Tell me a story, won’t you?” Jane, with a sly intuition o fshowing up Jimmy in his latest crime, remarked, “I believe that I shall tell you about the English I had in Ur- bana High School and the part these themes played in my high school days.” “Ho, hum! Make it short and snappy; that is the kind I like.” And with this Jim threw himself on the hearth and put his head in Jane’s lap. “I was just a green little freshie the first year, and of course I ex- pected, as all freshies expect, a great deal of attention. But I was dis- appointed, sadly disappointed. I soon learned that a freshman had to hold hard to the reins to get attention. But the real difficulty I had to fight with was embodied in the form of English. Go, get the dictionary, Jimmy, and look up that word!” “Aw, go on.

We had to read “Lady of the Lake, I loved that book, Atlantic Prose and Poetry, Vicar of Wakefield, Twelfth Night, and last of all but foremost in the mind of our teacher, our rhetoric book. Flung over all of these were themes, perfect myriads of them! Heavens! Many’s the time Iv’e racked my weary brain for something to say. Just something to say! The next year among the Ivanhoe, Julius Caesar, Sir Roger de Cov- erly, Drydens Essays, and Halleck’s American Literature were more themes. I liked the classics immensely and enjoyed the American Lit- erature, but oh those freakish themes! “My last year, and Jimmy, how I wish I could spend just one day at U. H.

English, why English that had been my bugbear, that had seemed so tedious in many of its phases, that had stood as a living monument for my superficial themes, was just one round of pleasure. There were some bumpy places in the road, such as “Wooley’s Hand Book,” but overtopping these hard spots were wonderfully smooth stretches, such as Hamlet, Eng- lish Literature and Dean Clark’s “High School Boy” which were doubly appreciated after having hit a bump. Too, my old friend “theme” bobbed up and existed on my horizon, but instead of distracting me, it made me smile and laugh with it. “I came to realize that, though by no means perfect, my previous years of English and of writing themes had trained me in the art of writ- ing; I had been put through the paces; I was not nearly a complete prod- uct, but I was at last able to see the goal for which I was working, the goal of perfect English as expressed in a natural way. And then, too, I often think what a wonderful teacher we seniors had; we all idolized her; we all knew we could not have had a more perfect teacher than Miss McHarry. It was through her efforts we gained the inspirations of English. “So you see, Jimmy-boy, with what affections I regard these themes; they symbolize my efforts to express that which I learned during four years of English. But I expect this has been a little too deep for you, hasn’t it Jimmy?” Jimmy was asleep. m (One Hundred Nine) (Elie luisemaru V p ™ RT in U. H.

In fact, almost everything that can or cannot be made at any particular place is made in the mysterious Art Room. But all is not play in the Art Course. The study of the history of Art has given us a background for our study and we can more easily see what advantages are given to us nowadays in Urbana High School. The Art of Sewing. Did I hear the question, “What is on the fourth floor?” That is just what I am going to tell you. In a nice large room, newly decorated, with large windows to make it light and airy, the girls learn to make various garments, and to study the general science of sewing, buying, judging, testing, and using of all kinds of materials from the finest of silks to the coarsest of cottons. They have made dresses, skirts, middies, and various smaller articles. These sewing classes are taught by Home Sconomics Seniors from the University, and are under the supervision of Miss Hes- ter Allyn who is at the head of our Domestic Art Department. The Manual Arts Department This year’s work in the Manual Training Department shows a con- siderable increase in efficiency and practical problems over the work of last year. It shows that this department of U. H. S. has developed on all lines and that we are progressing and not falling down on the job. In the Mechanical Drawing part of our work nothing much was changed. We had drawing twice a week, and in those periods we drew the articles which we were to make in our shop work. When we were not busy with this, we had plans for drawing just for practice. As most of us were new to the work, we started on oriographic projection problems. As we advanced, we took up development drawing, and then went on into One Hundred Ten) CL h c 1 n s rma ru c the mysteries of isometric drawing. At the end of the first semester we gathered all of our drawings together into book form and designed a cover for it. Briefly, this covers our drawing work. In the shop is where we did most of our work. Three days of the week we gathered here to receive instruction in practical problems learn- ing about the various tools and everything that goes with this kind of work. As a pleasant surprise we found that the school board had had our lathes put in working order, and we were given instruction in wood turn- ing, which was denied students last year. Some of the furniture which was made is as follows: A library table of oak, made by Raymond Bengston. A library table of cherry, made by Harold Vandervort. A phonograph cabinet, made by Claude Jones. Besides these, many smaller articles of use were made, such as piano benches, pedestals, halltrees, flower boxes and stands, of all descriptions. In the wood turning work, Allan Steele takes the lead. He has made two large floor lamps, several smaller table lamps, and candle-sticks galore. Another thing which the school board did was to buy lumber of all kinds at wholesale prices, in turn selling it to the students without profit. If it had not been for this bit of cooperation many articles of furniture would still be unmade, for wood bought in small orders at the lumber yards costs twice as much as when bought of the school. We have had good instruction in this work, and feel quite safe in say- ing that all of us have learned something, and that we have enjoyed the work, which we have reason to feel was a success.

Was it 201 or 205?” Thus thought troubled Sarah Gray as she rushed down the hall to her first class. It was Sarah’s first day at high school and she had a horror of being a green Freshman. Of course everybody was watching her. So after some thought she put on a “wise upper-classman” air and entered room 201. “Don jour mademoisselle,” was the greeting of the instructor. “Comment-vous portez-vous aujourd ’hui?” “What’s that she’s calling me?” thought Sarah. “It must be some- thing nice for it sounds like it,” but she only smiled and nodded her head in response. Then the class was started. Sarah guessed she didn’t belong here, but she was determined to stay and find out all she could about this strange talk. Then the role was called by the instructor, who placed a “Monsieur” or “Mademoiselle” before each pupil’s name. This seemed very strange to Sarah (as did a good many other things). Each pupil responded with a little squeak “oui-oui” or ici similar to that of a pig. Then the fun began, for the “merci’s,” “ecrevez’s,” “donnez-moi’s,” “s’il-vous-plaits” were all “Greek” to Sarah, for she understood not a word. At each response of the pupils to “la lecon” the instructor would say either, “c’est correct,” “ce ne pas correct,” “Tres bien,” or “(Test dommage.” Sarah guessed these to be comments on the pupils’ work. At one time the instructor said, “Allez tableau noir et ecrivez votre lecon,” and then every- one immediately went to the board. But what were they writing?

After class the instructor came to her and said, “Parlez-vous fran- cais?” to which Sarah brightly replied, “Je ne sais pas,” (for she had also learned that during class). The instructor laughed, and Sarah real- ized she had made a funny reply, so she determined then and there to learn “Parler francais,” and the next day found her registered in “Begin- ner’s French”—the result of the mistake in rooms. —Esther Wilson. g| (Om Hundred Thirteen) (the Bascmaru | i i « 5j � d [� 1 i i HAT old refrain “Gone are the days” came singing into my mind as I entered the commercial department of Urbana High School. This is the way the song ended, “When reading, writing and arithmetic were all we learned.” For here, situated in three capac- ious, well equipped rooms was an important branch of the students’ school work, that of the business de- partment. Listen, while I tell you about the commer- cial department, its work and facilities, its need and its aim. This department has two main divisions; the one being that of book- keeping, the other being that of shorthand and typewriting. One year of bookkeeping is given, and during this year, a student can learn valuable knowledge about the keeping of books and at least form an interest in such work. There are two years of shorthand and typewriting. The first year is in reality a preparatory course given for the following one; at the end of this second year a student may become very efficient. In fact, he should be able to fill a good position as a stenographer. Each division is in charge of a teacher whose duty it is to present the work to the pupil in such a way that an atmosphere of vital interest will be created. Urbana is well equipped with facilities for this work, as it has a large bookkeeping room fitted with especial desks suitable for bookkeeping, a typing room in which are placed twenty-one machines, and a recitation room for the shorthand. Just a word about the need of such a department in Urbana. We all realize that “efficiency” is the word of today; this is true not only in the business world but in all work. Therefore, those students, numbering about one hundred sixty, who desire to enter commercial work, may secure a good beginning in their line of work in the high school. The typical stenographer of the blondine hair, who stops to powder her nose every five minutes, and who chews gum with vigor, is a subject of the past. The students are started in the path of progress and are well grounded on the facts of what an employer expects in an employee. The idea of comptency is the aim of the commercial department, competency that will make those students who have graduated from Urbana High School efficient, able, conscientious workers in the business world. “A good be- ginning is the secret of success.” ■'5 (One Hundred Fourteen) (Dtc luisemaru COMMERCIAL STUDENTS Lois Anderson Ida Becker Margaret Birchard Edna Boucher Catherine Barr Helen Burpo Josephine Boner Mildred Brewster Lois Bush Harland Brownfield Raymond Bengston Phoebe Bemis Charles Blue Hugh Binyon Mildred Barber Charles Birdsell Pearle Burdick Violet Clark John Conerty Mariam Coon Alice Carmen Albert Cord Marion Courtney Ellen Corner Dodo Carpenter Wayne Clemens Nelson Davis Arlene Davies Lyle Dahlenburgh Iva Dunkle Mildred Dunne Mildred Davis Jeannette Easterday Glen Esworthy Gladys Fiscus Helen Foster Loueva Foote Loren Fletcher Beulah Freese Faye Freeman Herbert Frick Raymond Frick De Etta Greer Loreene Gordon Howard Gill Catherine Goodman Thomas Gorman Louise Gibson Burton Gibson Theodore Gudgel Francis Green Hazel Hartle Verna Horton Elizabeth Hudson Marjory Hall Alleen Harris Thelma Hurd Eva Jane Harper Grace Hiser Opal Hutchison Dean Houk Aldia Hawkins Glen Hudson Elmer Hoggatt Mariam Hazen Georgelladloek John Hill Clem Buffer Roland Hall Walter Irle Ted Judy Ruth Jackson Hortense James Claude Jones W.

Is history innumerable dates and wars aimlessly tossed together? Do we take history only because the school demands it? To be sure, some students never thought of history as anything but drudgery, but there is another side to history, and a very in- teresting one, too. History is the record of actual events in the social, industrial, and political life of the people under discussion. By studying history we can profit by the mistakes and good points of our ancestors, understand the present, and realize what the future will bring. Real historians are not pessimistic about the H. C. L. or the present unsettled conditions. They know from their study of history that such conditions always follow war. Knowing that these conditions follow naturally in the course of events, the historian does not worry about “how bad the world is.” Moral—Take history to avoid worrying! Urbana High School is very fortunate—of course some student would say unfortunate—in having a well developed, well rounded social science department. First, there is Ancient History taught to Freshmen by Miss Werner and Miss Beckwith who quotes, “When you live, live in clover, for when you die, you die all over.” Then there is Modern and Medieval History taught by Miss Battaille to which Sophomores are exposed but do not always take. Next there is English History by studying which the Juniors can tell the exact date when Elizabethan ruffs were the style and trace the development of the second greatest nation on earth—of course the United States is the greatest nation. Then there is American History which all of us Seniors must take, regardless of personal desires. Eng- lish and American History are taught by Miss Still. Last there is Civics, a course which Juniors must take, a course in which our High School politicians who desire to run the government, can learn facts about the practical side of it. Along with our history course we study Current history from the Literary Digest. We use this magazine because it treats each subject fairly. Besides the current events of the Literary Digest, most of us i j'h jQf 25 25 2525 25 25 2525 25 25 25 25 252525 25 25 25 2 5 2525 2525 25 25 252525 25 25 2525 25 2525 25 25 i M � 4 5.9 £ i 1 (Out Hundred Sixteen) (Dic luisrnumj 9 ■ Kv study the “Spice of Life” quite religiously(?) Our system of book reports is another aid in our history course. What a bugbear book reports are to some students! Perhaps you have heard of the boy who read the first and last chapters of a book and tried to re- port on it. Needless to say he didn’t “get by” Miss Still. These historical novels enable us to understand that each age has its own particular man- ners and customs; each age can be characterized. Ancient History—This history starts away back—4000 B. C.—almost 6000 years ago. In those days the people had such long names, and an- cient History is full of them. These names are about all some of our little Freshmen can handle. The point which Miss Beckwith tries to em- phasize is that it all happened, that the people are real, that Alexander the Great was once only a small boy. The course covers all of history up to the fall of Rome. Modern and Medieval History—This is the most general, and the most valuable of our course. The students begin with a summary—thank goodnecs only a summary—of ancient progress. Then the real work begins with the age of feudalism about 825 and doesn’t stop until the end of 1915. The fact that makes this history so important is that the big movements in the development of each important nation are taken up. The student thus gets a good foundation in, and general knowledge of world history. Amercian History—Some students think that all there is to Amer- ican History is “Columbus discovered America and Washington fought in the Revolution”. Let him who thinks thus beware! Let him study American History under Miss Still! The most important part of history is not the wars; it is the development of the country. History is a series of causes and effects. One thing grows as the result of another. Only when we realize this fact of unity can we understand, appreciate, and love history. Only when we view the subject as a whole can we get the full value of history. This idea of organization is emphasized by our author and by our teacher. Mr. McLaughlin covers American History from 1492 through 1919. He spends little time on the early explorers, beginning his book almost immediately with the establishment of colonial governments, and continuing with emphatic treatment of the development of democratic institutions. English History—This is one of the most interesting histories imag- inable. Moreover—shh, this is a secret,—if you take English History, then when you study English Literature you will already know the first of every chapter and most of the dates that Miss McHarry will ask you to learn. Remember that this is a secret; don’t tell Miss McHarry. Eng- lish History starts with a brief review of Prehistoric Britain. The real work begins with 49 A. D.—the Roman conquest—and is complete through 1918. The facts are told in an interesting and pleasing manner, a manner which contains enough details to make the important facts stand out clearly. Civics—If you once get Civics into your head—it’s hard to do—you have a complete, reliable, working knowledge of the organization of our government, the formation of the three departments, the regulation of trade, the system of taxation, and the functions of all grades of govern- ment from Municipal to Federal. Civics is hard, but every citizen must know Civics to take his part in the government intelligently. 7 T; u iuiiu Miriutul iQZ'JQZ'IuZ'Sj (One Hundred Seventeen) (Dje Rnsmnaru % | $ I •a I “Music the fiercest grief can charm. And fates severest rage disarm. Music can soften pain to ease, And make despair and madness please; Our joys below it can improve, And antedote the bliss above.” BSSQSi NE of the most interesting and important features of Urbana High School is the department of music. Mr. McKinney, commonly known as “good old Ira Mac”, is instructor of this fascinating work. The two branches, both of equal importance, of this department are the faithful, energetic, harmonious orchestra, and the obe- dient, industrious, musical chorus. As we sit in our class rooms and hear the orchestra practicing, we are reminded of the words of Hood, “There’s a music aloft in the air, As if Cherubs were humming a song, Now it’s high, now it’s low, here and there, There’s a harmony floating, floating along.” While, perhaps, we cannot boast that the orchestra is the largest one that Urbana High School has ever had, we feel safe in saying it is the best one that Urbana High School has ever had, and that is saying a good deal. (One Hundred Eighteen) We have about thirty members in this branch. Their ability to play, and play well, has been proved time and again in the Musical Assemblies. They also played at a meeting of the teacher’s institute last October and won great approval. The sometimes squeaky violins, the groaning trom- bones, as well as all the other instruments are always greeted with a burst of applause when they strike the thrilling notes of “Orange and Black.” When speaking of the chorus we hear the words of Longfellow used in “The Singers”. “God sent his Singers upon earth With songs of gladness and of mirth, That they might touch the hearts of men, And bring them back to heaven again.” It is true that the chorus helps break the monotony of school life to an extent beyond imagination. Although we can not say that our Chorus sings with a beauty equal to that of many deep throated robins, we can say truthfully that they sing with a beauty originated only in the hearts of cheerful singers. We must give Mr. McKinney much credit for making the Chorus what it is, as it is not to be disputed that a group of ninety- six people is not an easy thing to handle, also much praise must be granted Marie Exton for her excellent accompaniment at the piano. Through LV (One Hundred Nineteen) the patient help of Mr. McKinney the operetta known as “The Treasure Hunters” was successfully given on May 18. Those taking principal parts were Charles Hendricks, Wayne Clemens,, Sylvia Harter, Amelia Ellis, Margaret E. Smith, Carl Schrieber, Edward Jackson, Agnes Manning, Kenneth Douglas and Josephine Boner. In addition to the chorus and orchestra work, the theory and history of music have been carefully studied in regular hours. “Music the fiercest grief can charm, And fates severest rage disarm. Music can soften pain to ease, And make despair and madness please; Our joys below it can improve, And antedote the bliss above.” (One Hundred Twenty) (EIjc luisrmanj SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT.

Tomorrow, I’m going to show the students the shrubs on the school grounds, and T am fairly turgid with excitement over making them acquainted with my tree friends. Of course their interest in the trees and flowers has been greatly augmented by the long winter hours I have spent with them in the laboratory, showing how all the parts of a plant really work together like a wonderful machine.

(Asbestos) a I (One Hundred Twenty-three) (Eljc luiscmaru KB ANA High School has made, within the past few years, great progress toward the promotion of ath- letics. The greatest item along this line is the splendid gymnasium which we now enjoy and the new athletic held which lies to the south and east of the building. By rights this field should have been completed this year, but a slight difference of opinion on the proper placing of the gridiron and track in regards to space, made it impossible to use the field this year except for light signal practice in football and some baseball practice in the spring. All obstacles set aside, there is no reason why the future teams of Urbana High School, begin- ning with the football team of this fall of 1921, should not enjoy the thorough use of this field. The attitude of the people of our city and of the pupils of our school toward athletics is the best it has ever been and this spirit is rapidly improving as time passes by. Urbana High has done well in the choice of its coaches, supplying our football team this fall with one of the best grid mentors it is possible to obtain. It is through the untiring efforts of Coach George Bronson that the showing and reputation made by the football team of this year has placed Urbana High School on the football map of the state. It also proves his ability to coach the gridiron sport. This man needs no introduction for we all know with what joy we hailed the glad news that we were to have Coach George Bronson, of last year’s fame, as our coach and athletic director at Urbana High again this year. Much of Urbana’s football success may be attributed to the fact that she had an able and competent second team, which was managed by Assistant Coach Coleman. Coleman’s boys had several games with smaller high schools of this district and the results of their season is as follows: Urbana Reserves 0 Bement... 42 a ii 0 Decatur Reserves 12 tt ii 14 St. Joseph 0 a a 41 Leroy 0 a a 6 Monticello 6 a a 7 Villa Grove 6 (One 11 mid red T teiit t y-fou r) (Lite linsentaru i a FOOT BALL Football, the autumn “Sport of Sports!” success at Urbana High? msmmm Say, didn’t it meet with hi Coach Bronson sent out his call for volunteers during the first week of school, but not all of those who answered at the first roll call, appeared in suit� due to the large number “going out” and the late arrival of a ship- ment of 18 complete football suits; but when those suits did make their appearance, Bronson made things fairly hum. Intensive practice started the second week of school with fifty-six aspirants to berths on Urbana elevens. As is usually the case with high school squads, practice went rather slow and ragged the first two or three nights; but Bronson got busy and with Coleman taking care of the sub teams or “Reserves,” the players received such hard “work outs ’ that it was not long before the grass in Carle Park looked the worse for wear. Prospects at the beginning of the season were good, as we had Captain Roy Miller, Charles Hendricks, Kenneth Smith, Adrain Stockwill, William Shroyer, Charles Blue, Charles Stockwill, Omar Allman, Allan Steele, Cecil Reichard and Stewart Wright, all of whom had had some previous experience upon Urbana elevens. Besides these we had a great many other experienced players enter our ranks. Those who were “green” were soon given a coat of wisdom by Coach Bronson. Many combinations of plays and players were tried before Bronson had things working to his satisfaction, and with a schedule of seven games, for we did not know at the time that we were going to play the Peoria Central game, with seven of the fastest prep elevens in the state, it was necessary that the team and coach give their all to the cause. It was not many weeks before Coach Bronson had a powerful and efficient line averaging 170 pounds to the man, which swept every team that it met before it. The strength of our line enabled us to use line plays and it was the “cross-buck” and “split-buck” that spelled defeat for seven of the eight teams that we met. Our first game of th eseason was played away from home, being at Georgetown on October 2. The game was called at 2:30 p. m. Although Georgetown is nearly fifty miles distant, there was a crowd of nearly half a hundred loyal Urbana rooters in attendance. Such a large crowd went to Georgetown that it was necessary to run a trailer on the I. T. S. both to and from the game to accommodate the crowd. Several venturesome Urbana boys even went so far as to ride bicycles to this game. With such ! t Tiu'25 vCfi iTi?

This game was a frequent repetition of fumbles by both teams which is usually the case with teams in their early games of the season, and it was on one of Urbana’s fumbles that Georgetown made their only score which was also the only score Urbana had chalked against them until the Peoria Central game. The line-up for Urbana was: Wingler, r.e.; Allman, r.t.; Reichard, r.g.; Miller, (Capt.) c.; Hendricks, Shroyer, l.g.; Blue, l.t.; Stockwill, l.e.; Smith q.b.; Gallivan, r.h.b.; Wright, Witt, Wiley, f.b.; Steele, l.h.b. I After the Georgetown game the prospects for the future were very bright. To quote George Bronson: “The prospects for a 10009$ team are exceptionally good. They grew brighter after each game. The next game, it was more like a track meet with Urbana doing the running, was played with Clinton at Urbana. A gridiron had to be layed out at the southwest corner of the Fairgrounds, as our athletic field was not sufficiently sodded to allow a game to be held upon it. We knew little of Clinton’s team but supposed that they had a strong aggregation. We I sono?beSESBBESEBHEEraEEE {One Hundred Twenty-six) zwwi CLlu' JKusiunaru S B k were agreeably surprised when we handed the goose egg of a 102 to 0 score. The attendance at this game was comparatively small as it started at 2:30 p. m. and on the same afternoon Illinois played Drake University. This game attracted a large percentage of the regular attendance of our townspeople. We shall always remember the Clinton player who caught a pass and started running toward his own goal with the pigskin. The line-up for Urbana was as follows: Wingler, r.e.; Allman, r.t.; Reichard, r.g.; Miller (Capt.) c.; Hendricks, l.g.; Blue, l.t.; C. Stockwill, l.e.; Gallivan, r.h.b.; Wright, f.b.; Steele, A. Stockwill, l.h.b.; Smith, q.b. We met Springfield for our third game of the season on our own field. The game was called at 10, o’clock so as to allow players and spectators to attend the game at Illinois field in the afternoon. In this game Ray Gallivan starred and Captain Roy Miller proved to the world that he could always make a touchdown count for seven points, as he made seven goals from touchdowns out of as many trials. This game was not as exciting as it might have been although during the first and third quarters, Springfield forced Urbana to play real football in order to make a score. Other than the fact that a Springfield man had his jersey torn off him, the game was like the usual football games in which Urbana participated during the season of 1920, in that Urbana won the top-heavy score, which in this particular game was 49, and the opponents, as usual, received the oval part of the score. In this game Urbana lined up as follows: Wingler, r.e.; Allman, r.t.; Reichard, r.g.; Miller (Capt.) c.; Hissong, Hendricks, l.g.; Blue, l.t.; Stockwill, l.e.; Gallivan, r.h.b.; Wright, f.b.; Steele, l.h.b.; Smith, q.b. Our fourth game was a rare game. Our old rival, Danville, was our victim for this day and we paid them back for what they did to us on the previous year. Urbana was well represented at this game as there were nearly two hundred loyal followers of the team present on the I. I. fair grounds at Danville when the starting whistle blew at 2:30 p. m. A special I. T. S. car had been chartered and the tickets for this special were sold to the high school students. The car left Urbana at noon and left Danville for Urbana at seven o’clock. The day for the game was perfect except for a slight cloudiness now and then. Danville fought hard, but Urbana just seemed to “have their Angora” and Danville couldn’t get anywhere. Never in the whole game were they dangerously near our goal. The Orange and Black suc- ceeded in crossing Danville’s goal line six times, and Captain Miller nearly equalled his record of the previous Saturday, but either his toe was mis- behaving at one time or else he figured it as discourteous to Danville to make all of the goals, for he missed but one out of six he attempted which made the score 41 to 0 in Urbana’s “flavor,” of course. The following boys of Urbana High School participated in this game: Wingler, r.e.; 1 (t)m Hundred Tirrnty-xcrcn) (Dic Ixusemaru pSJ Igo Allman ,r.t.; Reichard, r.g.; Miller (Capt.) c.; Hendricks, l.g.; Blue, l.t.; Stockwill, l.e.; Gallivan, r.h.b.; Wright, fb.; Steele, l.h.b.; Smith, q.b. The Saturday following the Danville game, Urbana played no one, and this lay-off probably accounts for the smaller score than usual at Mattoon the following Saturday. The game at Mattoon was started at 2:30 p. m. and was a hotly con- tested affair especially during the first half. This was evidenced by the 0 to 0 score at the end of this half. In the second half Urbana came back strong and amassed a total of 28 points to their credit while they held Mattoon scoreless. In this game Captain Miller kicked all goals he had a chance to kick. This game was otherwise uneventful except for a slight injury which Omar Allman received, and the conspicuous lack of “punch” to put the ball over which had hitherto been such a notable feature of Coach Bronson’s men. The Urbana line-up in this game was as follows: Wingler, A. Stockwill, r.e.; Allman, Reichard, r.t.; Reichard, Hissong, r.g.; Miller, (Capt.) c.; Hendricks, l.g.; Blue, l.t.; Stockwill, l.e.; Gallivan, r.h.b.; Witt, f.b.; Steele, l.h.b.; Smith, q.b. The next Thursday morning Urbana journeyed to Bloomington and at 2:30 p. m. the game with Bloomington High was begun on one of the hardest fields Urbana played upon during the whole season. It was snow- ing when the game started and at some places the ground was white with snow. When a player was thrown on the ground, one could hear the thud of the fall no small distance. Some players played in gloves. Before the game was over the thermometer registered below 20 degrees, and a cold wind from the northwest was sweeping the field so that it was necessary to build fires to keep the players warm during the half intermission. One Bloomington player had his football pants torn nearly off him. This, 1 fear, was a little bit too much on such a cold day. Neither team made much via. the aerial route, and as it was too cold for everyone concerned, the referee called the game at the end of twelve minutes of play in the third quarter and with Urbana leading Bloomington with their usual large score which this time happened to be 42 to 0. Urbana’s line-up was: Reichard, r.e.; Allman, r.t.; Hissong, r.g.; Miller, (Capt.) c.; Hendricks, l.g.; Blue, l.t.; C. Stockwill, l.e.; Galivan, A. Stockwill, Douthit, r.h.b.; Wright, f.b.; Steele, l.h.b.; Smith, q.b. During this time we had heard much of Peoria Central’s powerful team, and after they defeated Decatur and began claiming the champion- ship, we challenged them. They accepted the challenge, and on Friday, November 19, at 2:30 the whistle blew, which started the game in which Peoria Central received her only defeat of the season. The Urbana school spirit and “pep” was excellent before this game. The evening before we left for Peoria, a large portion of the student body was present at the station to give the team a hearty send off and it was this spirit which caused Urbana to “wallop” Peoria the next day. Of the many football games we have played, none have been equal to the game at Peoria. Would that we had space here to print all that m sal S! m 9: Ml ; w( ' 'ilMuJf mj � lira u i u LU HC n.l Ml (One lhnutnd Ticniiy-r-irilit) George Bronson said and all that those boys said in the dressing rooms and best of all to tell of the spirit with which those boys went out onto that field! Nearly every boy had “tears of fight,” if you know what those are, in his eyes and they plainly showed that if they didn’t beat Peoria, then they would certainly die in the attempt, and it was this spirit which caused them to beat Peoria’s, hitherto unbeaten, team by a score of 13 to 7. The day o f the game was perfect and the field upon which it was played would almost equal Illinois Field for smoothness and levelness. A crowd, larger than any Champaign-Urbana game crowd turned out to see this game and it is estimated that a crowd of nearly 10,000 Peorians and people for miles about Peoria witnessed this game. A noted Peoria reporter said: “It was the best game ever played on any Peoria field.” We were never treated better on any trip than we were at Peoria and the Peoria school spirit is certainly commendable. Urbana played the follow- ing men in the Peoria game: Reichard ,r.e.; Hissong, r.t.; Allman, r.g.; Miller, (Capt.) c.; Hendricks, l.g.; Blue, l.t.; C. Stockwill, r.h.b.; Wright, f.b.; Steele, A. Stockwill, Douthit, l.h.b.; Smith, q.b. Oh, if those boys of ours had only had the same “FIGHT” and same “GO” on the following Thursday as they had this day, then November, twenty-fifth would not have been such a heart breaking day for Urbana! Oh fateful Turkey Day! We the vanquished look back upon you now, and we all wonder why it had to be. The Thanksgiving game needs not much discussion. We have no alibis to offer except that the team, the rooters, all, were overconfident and that the team had spent it’s greatest store of vitality in the defeating of Peoria the Friday previous. Had we played Champaign on the day that we played Peoria, then there might have been a different tale to tell. In other words, our boys “went stale” after the Peoria Central game. Their practice sessions were lifeless, doubtless because they expected an easy victory. Coach Bronson did all in his power to dispel this feeling of overconfidence but without avail. Champaign deserves great credit, for they defeated a good team; but they still have the “jinx” on us and a horseshoe in their pocket. All the encouragement or word we can give to our future teams is never to allow themselves to become over sure of any game, especially one with Cham- paign. We have to thank the Council of Administration, of the University of Illinois, for permitting us to hold the game upon their splendid gridiron. We certainly appreciate this favor as it was the first game between Cham- paign and Urbana to be played there for, I don’t know how long. We cannot complain about the weather for the Champaign-Urbana game, as it was cloudy and just cool enough to make the day right, and when the whistle blew at 2 o’clock on that fateful afternoon, little did we think, that in less than two hours later, we would be going home smarting under the sting of a 24 to 0 defeat. Therefore I pray, let this game be a lesson to future teams of Urbana High. Urbana lined up in this game as follows: Reichard, r.e.; Hissong, r.t.; Allman, r.g.; Miller, (Capt.) c.; Hendricks, se seee sqhssq sb ggragaaKoram ee wwssrsBmarssmBrag S31 Jsjl I $ i I H | | H Si .i (One Hundred Twenty-Nine) tUhe Ivoscuttiru r i l.g.; Blue, Hill, l.t.; C. Stockwill, l.e.; Gallivan, r.h.b.; Wright, f.b.; Steele, A. Stockwell, Douthit, l.h.b; Smith, q.b. As we look back upon the football season, we feel that Urbana has made a state wide reputation for itself. So far did it do this that three leading newspapers of the greater cities of Illinois picked three Urbana men for the first All-State Team, and four Urbana men were given places upon the second All-State pick. The Urbana High men given places upon the first All-State Team were: Miller, c.; Blue, l.t.; C. Stockwill, l.e. Ur- bana men to receive berths upon the second honorary eleven were: Smith, q.b.; Gallion, r.h.b.; Hendricks, l.g.; Allman, r.g. This is more men than ever made places upon these elevens from Urbana High School in any previous year. The papers selecting these teams have acclaimed our coach, Mr. Bronson, as one of the best in the game. It is therefore not a question of the Champaign game or any other game, but it is a question of a team and its season; and if you will compare results and facts, you will find that Urbana has never had a much better season and also that her football team this year ranked among the best in the land. Then we would say to you, let us condemn not our coach, players, or any other person or persons connected with athletics in Urbana High for any flaw in our success during the season of 1920, but let us ALL get together and boost for a strong and better team next year and all the vears to come. “It is team work that gets ug there.” —Ted Judy. % sal a 3a I (One Hundred Thirty) ®lie luisemary Basketball was given the same enthusiasm as football at Urbana High School. And the way things started out the first night was proof enough that the Champaign-Urbana Football Game had not put a damper on our sports. Coach Coleman, who is more famed as a basketball coach at Urbana High than as a football coach, was also retained as assistant athletic di- rector this year; and, as his basketball quintet of last year had met with apparent success, it was no small amount of pleasure for us to hear that he was to be retained as basketball coach for this year. Coach Coleman issued his call for basketball men on the Monday fol- lowing our final football of the season. There were nearly fifty aspir- ants who appeared the first night. Of course some of these had to be dropped; and, as the season wore on, others were picked up who showed adaptability in this sport. There were enough men carried through the season to compose four good teams, and the season closed with about twenty men wearing the Orange and Black. Our first game was with Mahomet and was played the night of Dec- ember 3rd on our floor. Coleman had a chance to run in most of his men and get a good line on them. Galli van. Manning, Witt, Reichard, and Mil- ler started the game for Urbana. These players made a safe score so that they could be replaced in the second half by Smith, Winchester, Henderson, Hendricks, and Frick. The score for the first half was 14 to 3 in Urbana’s favor. With this good start we knew we would be victor- (One Hundred Thirty-one) luismuaru ious, and when the final whistle sounded Urbana was still leading by the wide margin of 34 to 10. After this game Cecil Reichard was elected captain of the Urbana Basketball Team. Our next game was at home with Watseka on December 10. We had supposed that Watseka would give us a good stiff scrap and indeed it did look as if they were going to at the end of the first half which ended 15 to 14 in our favor; but in the last half Urbana came back strong and amassed 12 more points on our visitors while they were held scoreless dur- ing this half. Thus the battle came to an end with Urbana 27 and Wat- seka 14. Gallivan, Winchester, Reichard (captain), Manning, and Miller were the only Urbana men to play in this game. The next week on Deember 15 we met St. Joseph after school on our own floor. As this game was free to all who wished to come, there was a good crowd out. Urbana had little competition, and the first half ended 16 to 3 in her favor. Our second team went into the game in the second half, and the game took on more of the aspects of a football game, but Urbana immerged victorious with 38 points and St. Joseph 11. Gal- livan, Winchester, Reichard (captain), Manning, Miller, Frick, Witt, Henderson, Kelly, and Smith played for Urbana in this game. Of course we had to have another game in quick succession and also a victory; so on the night of December 17th we played Rantoul here and snowed them under nearly as bad as we did Clinton in football. In the first half Urbana got started well and piled up 34 points against Rantoul’s 4, and in the s econd half our “subs” went in and completed the rout; and with such men as Gallivan, Winchester, Reichard (captain), Manning, Miller, Smith, Kelly, Witt, Henderson, and Hendricks, it is little wonder that we defeated Rantoul by the large score of 56 to 4. “Sure we had to go to other worlds to conquer,” and on Friday night, January 7th we found the Orange and Black lined up against the powerful Springfield quintet, on Springfield’s floor. Our boys proved themselves equal to the test, and in the first half ran up a 15 to 8 lead on Springfield. Springfield came back strong in the second half, but was unable to over- take our lead; and the final whistle blew with Urbana leading by a score of 20 to 17. After this hard game we journeyed to Waverly, and the night after the hard Springfield game found our boys opposing the strong Waverly team. Our natural supposition was that it was to be a basketball game, but it turned out to be a cross between basketball and football. Urbana was tired and therefore could not play her usual stellar game and was also unaccustomed to the football tactics such as Waverly employed in order to win. The Urbana boys played well the first half and led at the end of this session by a score of 6 to 4; but in the second half Waverly started football, and Coleman “yanked” the first team to save them for the Cham- paign game the following Wednesday. The “seconds” played a tight game considering all. but Waverly won with a score of 16 to our 7. Gallivan, Winchester, Reichard, Miller, Manning, Witt, Kelly, Henderson, and Hen- dricks were the Urbana men who “bucked” Waverly. Urbana returned from this week end trip pretty well “shot to pieces,” and with Champaign game on the following Wednesday it can be readily seen that the team barely had time to recuperate. On the afternoon of January 12th, we found our boys opposing Champaign’s husky players on Champaign’s floor. Urbana acquitted herself well and the first half ended with the two teams tied, each having 14 points to its credit. Cham- paign, by running in several fresh men, was able to gain an advantage. (Oh Hundred Thirty-tiro) mZMMWi (lihe luiscntaru m The game, to an end with Champaign's “luck” still good and Urbana beaten in points but not in spirit. The final score was Champaign 35, Urbana 28. Immediately after this game the second team of the two schools played on the same floor. This game was as fast as the first and equally as rough as all games between Champaign and Urbana are. Urbana played Gallivan, Winchester, Reichard (captain), Manning, Hendricks, Witt, and Douthit in the first game; and Kelly, Witt, Henderson, Wingler, Donthit, and Graham in the second. The score by halves of the second game was; first half—Champaign 10, Urbana 8; final—Champaign 24. Urbana 15. The Saturday night following, Bloomington’s aggregation pulled into town to give battle, and a battle indeed it was. It was one of the fastest and best teams Urbana played during the whole season. Bloomington proved to be very strong, and at the end of the first half was leading us by a score of 15 to 13; but the Coleman Crew came back strong in the second half and by the end of time had tied the score 22 to 22. Time was added to play off the tie and during this time Ray Gallivan dropped in a couple of pretty ones, and Bloomington made a free throw which let us out, the victors, by a 26 to 23 score. Gallivan, Winchester, Reichard, Manning, and Miller covered the floor for Urbana in this game. On the night of January 21 we found our boys lined up against the strong Lexington quintet at Lexington. Lexington started like a whirl- wild. and at the end of the first half had an 18 to 7 lead on Urbana. Dur- ng the second half Lexington kept on with frequent scoring, and the game ended with Lexington the winner by a good margin of 32 to 17. Urbana had trouble at shooting baskets during this game due to the fact that Lexington had such a low ceiling in their gymnasium, while our boys were used to “shooting ’em high” with a large arch in their shots. The absence of our guard, Roy Miller, was also felt in this game. Urbana ran in Manning, Winchester, Reichard, Gallivan, Hendricks, Douthit, Kelly and Witt in this game. The night following found our boys at Decatur, playing Decatur’s basket eaters. Decatur obtained a lead on our fellows in the first half which was apparently impossible to overtake, the first half ending 17 to 7, in Deacatur’s favor. This seemed to take the “pep” out of Urbana, and after their hard game and trip of the day before they had but little left in them. Then when we consider the strange floor and other odds that hand- icaps a visiting team, it will be easily seen why Decatur won by the large score of 38 to our 17. Manning. Winchester, Reichard, Gallivan, Miller, Douthit, Kelly, Witt, and Hendricks represented Urbana in this game. At this period. Coach Coleman received a very good offer to come to Peoria Manual and take up work as Director of Physical Education at that school. This offer he accepted and left immediately for that city and his new job. This left our team without a basketball coach, but Coach George Bronson took hold of the team and kept the fellows with luck or confidence for they immediately began winning games. On the 28th of January Lexington came here to return the game which we had played there a week before. We naturally expected them to give us a real battle but were agreeably surprised when at the end of the first half we were leading them by a score of 25 to 9; and the last half was about the same way. The final whistle blew with Urbana 35 and Lexington 19. Lexington had arrived in town late and had had a very strenuous trip which probably accounted for their weak showing made. This night saw the following men playing for Urbana: Gallivan, Winchester, Reichard, Manning, Miller, Rea, Busey, and Hendricks. The night following the Lexington game was Saturday night, and (One Hundred Thirty-three) (The luisemaru � c Decatur came here to renew acquaintance, it being just one week since we had played them there. Decatur was as surprised as we were when, at the end of the first half, we were in the lead with a score of 16 to 5. In the second half Decatur strengthened, and it was necessary from overtaking our lead. The game came to an end with Urbana 28 and De- catur 18. Gallivan, Winchester, Reichard (captain), Manning, and Mil- ler represented Urbana for this game. The next Friday the Urbana quintet journeyed to Mattoon, and there they met stiff competition. The floor there was smaller than ours, and this handicapped our players; but they got the jump on Mattoon, and the first half ended Urbana 14, Mattoon 13. This was no safe margin, and Urbana had to play real basketball to win the game with the final score of 26 to 20. Urbana played the following men in this game: Gallivan Winchester, Reichard, Manning, Miller, and Rea. On the same night our second team journeyed to Rantoul to play Ran- toul’s first team. When we consider all the odds against them, we need not wonder that they met defeat. The first half ended Rantoul 16, Ur- bana (seond team) 3. The final score of this game was Rantoul 32, Ur- bana 15. Bailey, Gorman, Busey, Wingler, Douthit, Kelly, Graham and Freeman were the Urbana second team men that represented us at Ran- toul. The next week St. Joseph came up for a little game and, as usual, met defeat at our hands. It was a rather interesting game despite the great difference in scores, and it was especially so when, in the second half, Urbana played her second team. Then the two teams were more evenly matched and the game took on some life and hope for St. Joseph. The following Urbana men played in this game: Gallivan, Winchester, Reichard, Manning, Miller, Gorman, Rea, Witt, Douthit, Hendricks, and Kelly. The score by halves: first half, Urbana 24, St. Joseph, 6; final score, Urbana 46, St. Joseph 14. On the night of February 11th Champaign came over to return the game we had plaved with them over there. As we had beaten Lexington on one night and on the next night they had gone to Champaign and de- feated Champaign, we had confidence in our conflict with Champaign. But it seemed as if Champaign still held the “horseshoe” and had the “jink” on us, for, in spite of the fact that we led them by a margin of 11 to 8 at the close of the first half, they overtook our lead and the final gun shot off with Champaign the winner by the close score of 17 to 14. The fol- lowing Urbana boys had the “pleasure” of being in this game: Gallivan, Winchester, Reichard, Manning, Miller, and Rea. After this game the school secured the services of Mr. Paul Taylor of the University of Illinois to coach our basketball team. He took hold of things and immediately began whipping the team into shape for the District Tournament. After the Champaign game we returned the game at Bloomington, and on February 18 we met Bloomington on their floor. Bloomington started well and kept going well. The fi rst half ended with the score 8 to 6 in their favor. During the second half it seemed as though Urbana couldn’t get started, and the game came to a close with Bloomington the winner by a score of 27 to 14. Gallivan, Winchester, Witt, Manning, Mil- ler, Reichard, and Douthit were the Urbana men playing in this game. Our last game of the season before the Tournament was with Mattoon on our own floor on the night of February 25th. Mattoon came up here resolved to pay us back in good measure for what we did to her on February 4th but what Mattoon received on this particular night was a {One Hundred Thirty-four) sound beating, although the g ame did resemble a football game at times and did become so rough that the referee had to stop the play repeatedly and warn the players against such rough and football tactics. No lives were lost, however, and the following men who played, came out sound and whole: Gallivan, Winchester, Reichard, Manning, Miller, and Graham. THE EASTERN ILLINOIS DISTRICT BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT March 10, 11, and 12 Urbana High received the honor of having the District Tournament held in its gymnasium again this year. As soon as it was known that Urbana had been awarded the Tournament, coach George Bronson began making preparations for holding a record breaking Tournament. We cannot praise the work and play of the teams that took part in the Tournament any to highly, for they all played a splendid brand of basketball in true sportsmanlike spirit. The first game of the Tournament was between Homer and Sidell. Homer seemed a bit lost on such a large floor, and Sidell obtained a good lead of 11 to 2 in the first half. Homer weakened in the second half, and Sidell was able to finish with 25 to Homer's 5. The second game of the Tournament was a somewhat faster game than the first, the participants in this game being Potomac and Rankin. The Potomac boys obtained their big lead over Rankin in the first half which ended 12 to 5. The second half was fast, but Potomac won by a 29 to 17 score. Rantoul and Mahomet came together for the third time, and Rantoul obtained a big lead in the first half as did most of the winning teams of the Tournament. The score at the end of the first half was Rantoul 12, Mahomet 0, and thus the game came to an end with Rantoul the winner and the final score—Rantoul 23, Mahomet 9. The fourth game was between Longview and Ogden. In this game Longview’s superior strength and size declared her the winner. The first half ended, Longview 16, Ogden 9. In the second half Longview sent in freshmen on Ogden, and this enabled them to win by a 20 to 10 score. The next game was that of Wellington vs. East Lynn. As usual East Lynn, the winner, obtained her big lead in the first half which closed 18 to 9, and by fast playing retained this lead throughout the second half. The final gun went off with East Lynn leading by a score of 33 to Wellington’s 19. Game number six was between Tolono and Oakwood, and Oakwood’s speed carried her to victory. The game was a more hotly contested game than the score indicates. The first half came to an end with Oakwood 16, Tolono 8. The second half was not so tight, and Oakwood came out leading by a score of 31 to 11. The last game of the Thursday night session was between Urbana and St. Joseph. St. Joseph made Urbana play for all that was in it during the first half, but the second half seemed to be a half-souled at- tempt by them to win. The first half closed with Urbana leading 15 to 3. In the second half Urbana played her second team so as to save the first team for future games, and our seconds acquitted themselves nobly by winning the game by a score of 24 to 9. The next morning Sidell and Potomac clashed. Sidell’s speed and endurance let them lead at the end of the first half 23 to 10, and the second half was about as fast as the first although Potomac did work hard at times. Sidell won by a 40 to 18 score. (One Hundred Thirty-five) tHlje Rasemarg jT:iyiiyn '3 II Rantoul and Longview met for game 9 of the Tournament. The first half was fast and ended: Rantoul 9, Longview 14. In the second half, Longview played a little better than Rantoul, and won the game by a 26 to 16 score. Danville and Westville met for the next game, and it was a “rough old game”. Danville had obtained a lead of 13 to 5 at the end of the first half, and in the second half both teams “cut loose with all they had” in everything from football to baseball, but in spite of Westville’s violent efforts to win, Danville came out leading at the end of the time by a 27 to 13 score. The eleventh game of the Tournament was an exception to the usual Tournament rule in that the team that led at the end of the first half did not leave at the end of the game. It was by far the fastest game of the Tournament. Fisher and Hoopeston were the contestants in this game. Fisher led at the end of the first half 15 to 10, but they lost their hold on victory in the second half; and Hoopeston won by the close score of 30 to 26. Champaign met Philo for the twelfth game of the series in which Champaign was able to play her second team against Philo. This was a great help for Champaign, as it saved her first team for other stiff games. At the end of the first half Champaign was leading by a 19 to 9 score, and she won the game by a large margin of 38 to 15. East Lynn met the fast Oakwood quintette. The game was fast and hotly contested by both sides. The first half was especially interesting and ended 14 to 11 in favor of Oakwood. East Lynn came back strong and fought hard to overtake Oakwood’s lead on them, but Oakwood soon wore East Lynn down and won the game by a score of 28 to 17. The next game was one in which we were interested. Our opponent was the Sidell team. Urbana had to show all they had to win, and at the end of the first half had the narrow lead of a 13 to 10 score. The second half as fast and steady, and by perfect defense and offense Urbana was able to win by a score of 20 to 15. Gallivan, Winchester, Reichard (capt.) Manning, Miller, Rea, and Graham received the chance to play for Ur- bana in this fast game. Danville met her Waterloo in the fifteenth game against Longview. The whole game was tight and closely played. The first half was a see- saw of scores and ended with Longview leading Danville by one point, the score being 11 to 10. The second half began with a rush to break loose, and Longview's huskies succeeded in doing this. When the final gun was shot, Longview was the winner with the score of 23 to 18. Champaign met Hoopeston for the sixteenth game of the season, and as usual the game was a walk away for Champaign. The first half came to an end with Champaign leading 30 to 6. The second half was about the “same old stuff” and in the end they were holding the large end of a 47 to 16 score. We hardly knew what we were up against when on Saturday we met the fast Oakwood quintet, but we soon found out. Our boys simply were so mad when they went into that game and so determined to get another chance at Champaign that they led Oakwood at the end of the first half 21 to 12. In the second half we played most of our second team, and the game w as equally as fast as when we had our first team on the floor. This game was a harder fought game than the score indicates, nevertheless we won our chance to play in the finals that night by a 36 a ay I PI ay I m iw V.V� V� V4 0� «S� ifiQSu3 (One Hundred Thirty-six) 2085 (Llje luismuani to 21 score. These are the boys that did it: Winchester, Gallivan, Reich- ard, Manning, Miller, Rea, Witt, Douthit, and Graham. Champaign, equally as anxious to play us in the finals, started in like a whirlwind on Longview and at the end of the first half had amassed 25 points to Longview’s 6. Champaign played her second team in the second half and saved her first team for us that night. The final score was Champaign 41, Longview 10. The nineteenth game in the finals was to decide third and fourth places in the Tournament. Longview and Oakwood. the losers of the afternoon battles, were the participants. This game was “nip and tuck” the whole way thru, the score being tied at the end of the first half, each team having 13 points to its credit. The second half was equally as fast as the first half, but luck smiled on Longview and she won by a 22 to 20 score. The big game was the final and twentieth game of the Tournament; in this game we find the old twin city rivals pitted against each other. On the floor Urbana outplayed Champaign, having two shots at the bas- ket to Champaign’s one, but it seemed as though Champaign’s old “jinx” was still on us, and our boys couldn’t hit the iron ring. Our boys did themselves proud and played a clean brand of basketball, and, as the score was but 9 to 6 against them at the end of the first half, we had hoped that in the next half we might overtake them; but we had our hard luck and Champaign went off with the “bacon” and won the right to play in the State Tournament as a result of a 24 to 11 score. Gallivan, Miller, Winchester, Reichard, Minning, Witt, Douthit, and Graham were the boys who supported the Orange and Black in this game. On a whole, the Tournament was a great success. The fellows that it brought to our Institution of Learning were a fine lot of fellows and we were glad to have them visit us, and more than that, we hope that they may come again. Director of Physical Education, George Bronson, handled the Tourn- ament in a faultless manner and brought praise and merit to himself and the school. The attendance at the sessions was very good, and the spirit of the crowd was commendable. Such a large crowd wished to see the final session on Saturday night that several hundred had to be turned away because of a lack of accomodations. The tournament was well financed and the financial report is as fol- lows: Total receipts, $1125.00; 8% of receipts went to I. H. S. A. A. $90; 52rr of recipts went to visiting teams, $585.00; 40 r of receipts went to local management, $450.00. The receipts given over to the local man- agement went for expenses such as oficials, printing, etc. W’e must give praise and credit to Mr. Paul Taylor for taking our team through in such a fine shape. The large attendance is proof enough of our need of better facilities for handling the large crowds which at- tend our games. Here’s luck to the future basketball teams of Urbana High. ft 9 ft (One Hundred Thirty-seven) TRACK Our basketball season was hardly over before Coach Bronson began looking over likely material for track. We received an invitation to compete in the Relay Carnival at the University of Illinois Armory and on the night of March 5, our boys ran in the relay for high schools. Manning, Ward, Gorman, and Douthit, were our entries. The relay team owing to lack of a place to practice and train, did not make an extra good showing in this meet and as no train- ing in track had been given them and only basketball men were used, it can be readily seen why they failed to place. The next meet that Urbana attended was the meet at Northwestern University. This was an indoor meet. Steele, Miller, Ward, Chadsey, and Frick made the trip. Miller, Ward, and Frick were unable to place in their events and when one considers the quality of athletics at this meet, fellows who had received all winter training, it is little wonder that the boys failed to place. Allan Steele tied for the first place in the pole vault, with a boy from Battle Creek, Michigan. Charles Chadsey placed fourth in the 100 yard back-stroke swim. Thus we received 5 points in this meet. Urbana next competed in the Bradley Meet at Peoria on April 30. Okada, Manning, Douthit, Ward, and Steele were the Urbana boys to make the trip. Okada ran well in one heat and fell down in a heat which caused him to fail in placing. Manning, Douthit, and Ward all tried but failed to place in their events. Steele made second place in the pole vault and second in the running broad jump, making our only six points. On this same day John Mclnnes went to Paris, Illinois to compete in the weight events. He placed third in the hammer throw. (One Hundred Thirty-eight) ■ )ty. W;U jn (The J nsnuuru 5a i s fs- fc k I p On Saturday, May 7, Urbana attended the Charleston Track and Field Meet. At this meet Okada, Douthit, Miller, and Wiley failed to place in their events. Steele won the pole vault and tied for third place in the running broad jump. Manning of Urbana won a second in the 440 yard dash in which the race went at the fast time of 53 3-5 seconds. John Mclnnes won the Hammer throw with 131 feet 3 inches. Steele broke the old Pole Vault record “3” at this meet when he toppled the bar at 11 feet 3 1-2 inches. Urbana placed third in this meet with 14% points. On Saturday May 14, we found Urbana in the Millikin meet at De- catur. In this meet all the men except Steel and Manning failed to place. Steele tied for second in the Pole Vault and made a second in the Broad Jump and Manning made a second in the 440 yard dash. Steele, Douthit, Manning, Kelly, Vandervort, Wiley, Miller, Mclnnes, Ward, Seal'd, Okada and Williams were the Urbana entries. The first six named above will be back next year to form the nucleus of a team. The above named men also competed in the University of Illinois Interscholastic Track and Field Meet, May 21, but owing to the fact that this write up must go to press immediately, it is impossible to give the results of the events. On the night of December seventh, the School Board of Education dined the Football team in the Cafeteria. A good time was enjoyed by all. The following rrten received their “U’s” (Capt.) Miller, Allman, Hendricks, Blue, Reichard, Smith, Steele, Gallivan, Wright, C. Stockwill, A. Stockwill, and Hissong. At this banquet Omar Allman was elected captain of the team of 1921. Francis Green gave a banquet for the team at his home. We have to thank the Association of Commerce for the splendid banquet that they gave the football team on the night of November 30th, at the Masonic Temple. Miller, Manning, Gallivan, Reichard, Winchester, Hendricks, Rea, Gorman, Witt, Kelly, Douthit and Graham made “U’s” in basketball. —Ted Judy, ’21. I a % § m (One Hundred Thirty-nine) RosentartJ GYMNASIUM WORK The gymnasium has been a source of activity since early in Septem- ber. The girl’s gym classes under the supervision of Miss Selma Low- enstern have made rapid progress. By the time of the Christmas vacation unusual skill had been developed in regular physical exercises, in one or two folk dances, and especially in games such as Court Basketball, Volley Ball, and Captain Ball. In these the girls were so interested that they were prone to linger in the gym too long, and consequently, there was a great hurrying and scurrying in order to get to their following classes on time. Near the end of February there was great disappointment when it was learned that we were soon to lose Miss Lowenstern, but we were for- tunate in obtaining Miss Rachel Talbot, a young woman of equal ability who has successfully carried on the work and has developed it to a great extent. A set of Indian Clubs was purchased with the proceeds of the exhi- bition which was given in the spring of 1920. This has added a great deal of interest to the work. Although the majority of girls are inex- perienced in the use of these, they will soon be able to handle them easily. The spring exhibition, this year, was held on May 27, in the gymna- sium. All the girls had a part in this, each class in costume, having a special dance or exercise.

The club held their meetings weekly during the months of Decem- ber, January, and February. At these meetings leading business men and professors of the twin cit- ies gave talks concerning their business and work. Beginning at the first of March, the club held a meet- ing once every two weeks alternating each week to hold suppers at different churches of the two cities. At these suppers the boys joined together to enjoy themselves socially. Songs were sung, special music and talks were given by boys, and the meetings were usually closed by a talk or a lecture from an adult. The Second Annual Older Boys Conference was held under the auspices of the club on February 18, 19, and 20th. On the twenty-second of December the club held a party at the Y-hut. Each member brought a guest and all joined together in having a pleas- ant evening. As this party was such a success the social committee de- cided to give several more parties. The result was a party held January 27 and a picnic May 5th. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The club feels that it has made a great sucess in carrying out this purpose. The club also strives to create a better feeling between the two high schools who have been rivals for so long. The club intends to continue meeting next year and looks forward to achieving still greater success. Roy Mayes, Secretary. (One Hundred Forty-three) Nksta Kit .

Eva Jane Harper ■_________ I Program Conlmitt.ee, Chairman Catherine Barr Lhb HThe aim of the A. R. C. this year has been to have more varied meetings, to create a deeper interest, and to bring more girls into the organization. Our meetings consisting of good talks by teachers and University women, suppers, folk-dances, in- teresting book discussions, music, good “old time plays” and various other forms and varieties of meetings have certainly been very interesting as well as instructive and enjoyable. Several parties held during the year under the directions of the A. R. C. were successful in that many girls at- tended and deeper interest was shown. The last and largest event of the year was the Mother and Daughter Banquet. This was the seond annual banquet of this kind held here. A group of about one hundred gathered together for an evening’s enjoy- ment including a splendid dinner and afterwards a delightful social time. The banquet was in every way a success and the year closed with a feeling of happiness and contentmlent for all. May the A. R. C. in the years to come become larger, stronger, more united, and in all ways more successful.

Society” of 21. The success of the many interesting meetings is due largely to the competency and executive ability of our Vice President, Eva Oathout. During the first part of the year, the class debates were held. The first one was on student government and was between the Juniors and Seniors. On the Senior team were: Wayne Clemens, Maurice Evans, and Nest Fitz Gerald. On the Junior team were: Josephine Boner, Ruth Bindley, and Nora Null. After a hard fight, the Juniors proved themselves victorious. Then came the Freshman-Sophomore debate on Japanese im- migration. On the freshman team were Elizabeth Blair, Irene Zack, and Philip Hundley. On the Sophomore team were Paul Miles, Mary Flom, and Naomi Wyninger. The Sophomores won. At the final Sophomore- •1 unior debate, the Juniors triumphed, thus winning the silver cup. The Stunt Show came soon after this and proved one of the best Urbana High School has ever had. The Debating year closed with the Annual Dual Debate with Dan- ville on February 12. The question was Resolved: that a policy of per- manent retention should be adopted toward the Philippine Islands. Dan- ville won by a 2-1 vote both places; nevertheless, it was a close battle and here’s to next year’s Varsity Team! Early in the year, the Literary Society decided to give a play for the benefit of the Rest Room. Miss Aitkin was chosen as coach and “Happi- ness”, a four act play by J. Hartley Manners, as the drama. For the next three weeks the cast worked day and night, and Miss Aitken’s patience was stretched to the limit. At last came the dress rehearsal with stage furniture and the stowing away of elaborate costumes. Finally, “Hap- piness” became a reality and the Rest Room realized the profit. The biggest event of the year was the All-School Party. With Eva Oathout as general chairman, the party became a brilliant success. The first part of the entertainment consisted of a very well produced play called the “Cuckoo’s Nest.” Then there was music, a flower laden gym, dancing, and refreshments. All in all, a real All-School Party. These things the Literary Society has fostered and carried out. Most of them are of great interest to the school as a whole, yet only a few students “push” them while all the rest reap the benefit. If you want a bigger, better, Literary Society, take more interest in it. Don’t com- plain of uninteresting meetings. Join the society and help make them more interesting. The Literary Soiety is the only all-school organization. Come on let’s go, everybody, and make the Literary Society of ’22 the biggest and best in history!

Mr. Weller from the University was the coach this year. Twelve people responded to the first tryout. In the second tryout these same twelve people, divided into teams, took part in a hotly contested trial debate. Six debaters and two alternates were chosen from this twelve to represent Urbana High. Those chosen for the affirmative team, whose at home, were Richard Woolbert, Wayne Clemens, and Nesta Fitz-Gerald, captain; alternate, Paul Miles. On the negative team, which was to debate at Danville, were chosen Philip Hundley, Maurice Evans, Nora Null, captain; alternate, Kitty Kempner. Philip had the honor of being the first freshman on our Varsity team. Wayne Clemens was unable to take his place on the negative team, so Kitty Kempner took his part, while Naomi Wyinger served as alternate. For the next three weeks both teams certainly worked hard. The question was, Resolved: That the United States should adopt a policy of permanent retention toward the Philippine Islands. The debaters talked, read, and dreamed about the Philippines economically, morally, financially, industrially, internationally, and individually until they felt a brotherly love for every Filipino. In fact, the teams read in regard to the Philippines, every statement which was available in the Twin Cities. They wrote briefs, organized speeches, and practised oratory. At length the great day, February 11, arrived, and the two teams parted, one to debate at home, the other to debate at Danville. The debates were hotly contested in both places, and the Urbana teams put up a good fight for Urbana High. The decision in both places, however, was 2-1 in favor of Danville. The judges seemed to agree that Urbana lost only because of delivery. Now delivery is perfected by having public speaking classes. Let us all push a public speaking department for next year, and in doing so, beat Danville! Following the debate at Urbana, an Open Forum was held, and was made especially interesting by the participation of foreigners. Banquets were given by both schools for the debaters and were greatly enjoyed. Danville almost met her Waterloo this year, and next year, when Urbana has a public speaking department, and as a result of which an increased interest in debating, Danville will meet it. —Nora Null. (Out Hundred Forty-riyht) (Tin' luiscntani � L ? ALPHA SIGMA RHO The Alpha Sigma Rho is the honorary debating and oratorical society of Urbana High School. Its purpose is to promote all forms of public speaking. All Varsity debaters and Charleston oratorical contest repre- sentatives are members by virtue of their having represented the school in some form of public address. Alpha Sigma Rho was established in 191(5 and has had many distin- guished members among whom are Virginia Sale and Horace Gorman. The members now in Urbana High Shool are: Josephine Boner, form- er Varsity debater, Nora Null, Richart Woolbert, Nesta Fitz Gerald, Phil- ip Hundley, Maurice Evans, and Kitty Kempner, varsity debaters, and Vernalee Burpo and Ruth Towle who were representatives at Charleston. So far. it has been impossible for the Alpha Sigma Rho to hold reg- ular meetings and more faculty assistance is becoming necessary. We hope that next year and in the years to come we will progress until we will become an important factor in the life of Urbana High School and the Urbana High School student body. —Josephine Boner.
