f L� Copyrighted by JOHN DAVIS Editor WM. SCHLATTER But. Manager « 1 We have called our book “Rose- mary” because it is symbolical oj the friendships we have attained here, of the ideals we have striven toward, and of the worthwhile, things we have accomplished dur- ing our four years of contact with Urbana High. We have aimed to portray our life as we have lived it, during the past four years—our desires, our accomplishments, our hopes, and our dreams.

Tula Woolard Ross, Secretary MR. FLANINGAM Mr. Flaningain, for many years principal of Urbana High, is now our superintendent. After years of efficient service to the school, he now serves the entire community. Every one of us has come to respect and appreciate this worthy man. MR.

MISS RICKETTS Miss Ricketts, our assistant principal, lias l )n r been our faithful friend and counselor. To do the thing that is most beneficial to the stu- dents of the Urbana High School, and to pro- mote a spirit of friendliness, and goodwill— these are her worthy aims, and through our con- tact with her, we feel that she has attained these aims.

E. Williamson — | C. W. Rice Porly'two VALEDICTORY E151 in the mild waters of the Indian Ocean is tin home of a tiny sea animal -the nautilus. Although it is unknown to many of us, its 1 i� • cycle is a worthwhile subject for thought. We note that its home is a 1 spiral-shaped shell, and here at the very bottom its existence begins Gradually, it moves upward, building partitions as it goes, and in this way forms a series of perfect little chamber?. Time goes on, the last chamber is completed, and the nautilus finally leaves the protection of the sturdy pink walls and is engulfed in the unknown depths of the sea. Portraying this for us, Oliver Wendell Holmes says: Year after year behind tin' silent toil That spread his lustrous coil; Still, as the spiral grew. He left the past year's dwelling for the new. Stole with soft step its shining archway through, Built up its idle door, Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more. Like the nautilus we too have been building our way upward. We started out as freshmen, and as each year slipped by we left our old class and entered a new one, making ourselves stronger and better-fitted for the ups and downs of the great sea without-—Life. Tonight, we stand on the threshold of the final chamber, happy to face the future, yet sad at the thought of leaving. These past four years have meant a great deal for us. We have had good times, have formed lasting friendships, and through study in the class room and experi- ence in various activities we have learned many lessons of life. We have had good times, have formed lasting friendships, and through study in the class room and experience in various activities we have learned many lessons of life. We are glad to have the opportunity of doing our part in the world, and yet we are reluctant to leave our dear old high school, never to return as a class again. But, cheerfully, we turn from these thoughts to the future and wonder what it has concealed for us. Since we all have hopes and dreams, we want 1o go out into the world and try to realize them. Having advanced thus far, we do not want to stop: we want to venture out into this sea. striving for our principles and developing strong, beautiful characters which will be able to meet with anything that Life may put before us. We want to set up ideals, and as time goes on we want them to become higher, purer, and nobler. Wo want to say to ourselves: Build thee more stately mansion, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! l ct each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leave thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea! Jane Beall Forty-three SALUTATORY E, the class of 29 welcome you to our graduation exercises. We have looked forward to this event ever since grade school days, and it is a pleasure to have you share our joy in the triumph of our graduation from high school. Day after day for four years we have assembled here and the associations that we hold in connection with Urbana High School will linger with us always. Many of us have made friendships here that we shall always cherish; friendships that we may never again be able to renew, but that we shall always remember. Such things as these will go with us through life and form an important factor in the individual experience of each of us. The question occurs to me as to what these four years may have meant to us. Some have merely come and gone without making a great effort to form contacts, or to get as much as possible from classmates and teachers. These people too, may not have taken advantage of the many facilities this school has had to offer in the way of extra-curricular activities. They may have been satisfied to drift along, not attempting to enrich their personalities with the great number of outstanding opportunities which lie so close within their reach. We feel, though, that these people are few in number. Others, however, have realized that these four years in high school could be four of the most happy and eventful years in their whole careers. As a result these people have taken advantage of every opportunity that has been offered them. They have strengthened themselves by these associations and have put their finest and best qualities into our school activities leaving them better and st ronger. “Not the ending, just the beginning’’—those words seem to be the most expressive of our last day in Urbana High School when we are about to receive our diplomas. Though for us it seems a great achievement, after looking for- ward to it these many years, it is really only the first step on the ladder of 1 i f e. Each of us knows that he has gained something from Urbana High which will help to attain better ideals in our life in the future. This is certainly not the ending. Most of us will go on to school, if not to a college or university, it will be some sort of a school of life. At any rate we will continue to grow. In this sense all of us will still feel that it is just the beginning. After all. edu- cation is growth, and growth comes not only from books but from contact with many things in the outside world. Therefore we will find more and more as we go out from here that truly enough our preparation in Urbana High School is but the foundation for future education. Whatever of wealth, honor or success, we may hereafter achieve in this world, this we shall largely attribute to our school training. In view of this fact, we wish to express our sincere thanks to our faculty, our parents, friends, and members of the school board for their hearty and continued interest in not only our school work, but in onr school activities—Athletics, plays, banquets, entertainments of any sort, our school paper—they have always been willing to cooperate with us and help or advise us at any time. We certainly do wish to express our appreciation for the part they have played in helping us to spend a pleasant and enjoyable school life. Geneva Millard Forty-four CLASS HISTORY INCH the day in September of nineteen hundred twenty-five when two hundred and fifty freshmen entered Urbana High, there always has been a vision of the day of graduation before us. Now that the night is here, we find a tinge of sadness mingled with our happiness. Per- halps this is why we want to renew the events of the past four years at this time. The first year in high school our class of 1029 elected the following officers: Bob Little, President; Kathryn Leutwiler. Vice-President ; Madge Stewart, Sec- retary; Ralph Bevis, Treasurer; Betty Evans, Historian; and Dorothy Harris, Echo Representative. Our faculty advisers were Miss Nelson and Miss Hughes. The boys did fairly well in athletics and one of our classmates. Bill Ains- worth. won a letter in football. Several freshmen made Delta Sigma, and Rich- ard Hagan made the Varsity debating team. Our class did not receive first place in the Stunt Show but we had a verv good stunt entitled, “The Spirit of r. EL a” Helene Still was elected President of our class in the second year. Other officers were: Ralph Ilufier, Vice-President; Bob llarmison, Secretary; Gail- lard Knappenherger, Treasurer; Ernestine Keller, Historian. Miss Bullock and Miss Offlighter were faculty advisers. Now, that we were Sophomores we made more progress. This was done in music, athletics, and school work. In the State Contest, Bob Little won first place in the baritone solo. Our girls” basketball team won the tournament and several of our boys received letters in football and basketball. When officers for our third year were elected, Robert Little, was again chosen as President. (Jailbird Knappenherger was Vice-President; Vivian Mor- ris, Secretary; lone Kelley, Treasurer; Helen Clark, Historian; and Betty Buckler, Echo Representative. The faculty advisers were Miss Leasure, Miss Barr, Miss Rom pel. and Mr. McHenry. The third year was a successful one for our class. One of the events of the year was the presentation of a play, “Shamir'” to finance the .Junior-Senior dance. The play proved to be very entertaining and was a great success. The dance was given in May at the Urhana-Lineoln Hotel and was one of the best that has been given. The girls’ basketball team lost during the end of the tournament so did not receive the honors given them in their Sophomore year. Several boys won letters in track and swimming, as well as in football and basketball. Our guide during our final year in Urbana High was John Davis. His helpers were: Jane Beall, Vice-President; Helen Spoonamore, Treasurer; Mar- garet McCabe, Secretary; Lucile Mills, Echo Representative; Ernestine Keller, Historian. John Davis proved himself an efficient leader once more by the man- ner in which he successfully filled the position of Editor-in-Chief of the Rose- mary. Helene Still was our capable director of the Echo. Again our class was represented in athletics, music, and dramatics. Eight of our men earned “UV” on the football team which was led successfully by Captain Wayne Jones. We are also proud of Bernard Fitzsimmons who was the Varsity basketball captain. Several members of our class placed in solo contests, Glen Fulk, winning first in the clarinet solo in the State. The track team consisting mostly of men of our class, went through a very successful year, winning first place in the Big Twelve as well as other honors. Our fourth year was ended in good spirits with the successful presentation of the play, “The Poor Nut.” E R X KSTIN E K ELI.KK Forty-five STATISTICS K Class of ’29 is a very versatile class. It is composed of young men and women of all kinds, shapes, intelligence, etc. The etc. is for you to decide for yourself. The first thing worth mentioning about this young people is their scolastic standing. Of the 175 Seniors, 58 or one-third of them have an average of 85 or above. The Mother and Father of the Senior Class are Helen Gerrard and Everett Cooper; the former being 23 years, 7 months, 22 days old, and the latter being 21 years, and 8 days of age. The babes of the class are ohn Gable, 15 years, 7 months, and 7 days old, and Carolyn Harriman being 16 years. 1 month, and 2 days of age. All the ages of the members of this class, if added together, would take one back 1571 years before Christ. The Jeff of our Class is Jim Dipped, who knocks the measuring stick down at 6 feet 2Vi inches, while the Mutt is George Boas who is all of five feet tall. Among us we have 3 redheads, 15 blondes, and 157 brunettes. Representa- tive people of each of these classes are: Redhead—Pauline Block; Blond— Neva Murphy; and Brunnette—Rena Rowlett. There are 109 pairs of brown eyes, 50 pairs of blue ones, and 16 pairs of gray eyes. If the color from all the eyes were used to paint a picture there would be enough brown for a back- ground of a picture the size of an oil painting, enough blue to form a Sweet William in the center of this picture, and the gray would take the shape of a small weed in the fore-ground of our Senior picture. If all the noses of the classmembers were added together, it would stretch, like a rope of frankfurters, nearly across this stage. 1 have figured, as nearly as I could, and they total 29 , feet. When bigger and better noses are grown, the Senior Class will grow them. The Senior Class is full of all kinds of talented people. We have several graceful young nymphs who often entertain us with a dance. They are Ernie Keller, Helen Conaway, and Helen Clark. If you like heavenly music, you should hear Carolyn Harriman or Helen Spoonomore play the violin. For jazz or classical piano playing, we have for your pleasure, Kate Leut- wller, .lane Beall, Virginia Gill, Gertrude MeCollom, and last hut not least a hoy! Keith Horton, by name. We have a number of athletes; sturdy, clean-cut, sportsmanlike young men.

Vivian Morris Forty-tlx THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-NINE ARK vo to the will and Last testament of the gasping, dying Senior Class. We, the members of the Senior (’lass of 1929, do bequeath those qualities—dignity, solemnity, sophistication, sagacity—which we have so proficiently displayed throughout our four year sojourn in this in- stitution, to the members of the class of 1930, realizing that such a move is actuated by an earnest desire for the uplift of humanity. To that august body, the faculty, we, cognizant of the fact that under the tutelage of their fostering minds the aforementioned inherent attributes have flowered into a golden bloom of maturity, do will the following enumerated articles: To Mrs. Hamilton—one megaphone with bell attachment. To Miss Coolman—one full size photograph, autographed. “Accepted J. B. 0.” To .Mr. Joseph Bernardo ('asser ly—a copy of the new book entitled “Errands of Mercy” by Ima Relief. To Mr. (’. W. Rice—one can of Anti-Blush Tint with Hopes for the future. To Miss Ricketts—a ticket for one complete tour of exminister, maybe. To Miss Biederman—a just appreciation of the mustache. To Miss Lair—one carbon copy of a Kalamazoo Kiddie Kar. To Mr. Lew Stephens—a new record called “Hello, old fellow. How are you feeling today f” To Miss Fisher—a package of spearmint gum and a swell set of incisors and bicuspids. To Miss Rompel—a niche in the hall of satire. To Mr. Ilornor—a charge account at the Marinello Beauty Shop. To Mr. Krone—entrance fee to the House of David. To Mrs. Mattox—Mercy. To Mrs. Walcott—Charity. To Miss Field—a hearth-side all her own. To Mr. A. ( . Bennett—success with the immortal triangle. We of the Senior Class, believing that among us there are ones with indi- vidual characteristics, do will severally in the following manner: Jane Beall does leave her natural intelligence and knowledge of it to John Carson. Helen Breedlove, does will her modesty and coyness to Stanley lien wood. Paul Veale, not desiorous of burdening any one person with his superfluous footage, does bequeath said footage to any that may need it. Hugh Oakley, fully aware of his propensity towards obesity, does leave his reducing exercises to the Bidwells of confection fame. I)an Christopher does will his unswerving fidelity in love to Bob Weeks. Billie Miles, having indulged in the field of auto mechanics, does bestow his affection and affliction upon Carlton Russell. Believing in mine own infalibilitv, 1, Joseph 11. Renfrew, do endow Wil- liam Knight with my inferiority complex. 1. (Jailbird Knappenberger, the winsome Narcissus, do leave the imprint of my shapely profile in the heart of Miss Weber. Donald Mitchell gives free of charge to John Barr his modulated inflections of voice. CtMthmrd on l,ngr ISM Forty-ncvcn CLASS PROPHECY IME: The day before (Commencement, dune 5, 1949. Place: Urbana High School. Characters: Principal, Coach, English Teacher, Physical Education Instructor, Messenger Boy. Coach: (Entering very angri- ly. He addresses Mr. Rice.) Well, I’d like to know just why you’re calling me in for one ot' these useless teachers’ meetings. Don’t you know my time is valuable? I’ve just been teaching a wonderful new set of signals and plays to the mmnbley-pcg team.” Principal: “Well, I’ll tell you. Steve. We have a riddle we want you to solve.” Coach: (Starting to leave) “A riddle? You must be getting crazy in your old age. I'm sure I can’t help you! Why don’t you ask the new janitor. Mob Harmison? lie has more time than I for such things, and he knows a lot more about them. Good-bye.” (He goes out slamming the door.) English Teacher: (Disgustedly to Mr. Rice.) “I certainly hope you won’t let him get off as easily as that. Why don’t you go out and make him come back to this meeting?” Principal: (Stammering and looking frightened.) “Well, I expect—the—he—well—I guess the mumbley-peg team does need him.” English Teacher: (Scornfully) “Just because lie’s a little larger than you are, you’re scared of him! I’ll show you how things are going to be when I'm principal of this school.” (She exits hurriedly and comes back soon dragging Steve by the arm and scolding him.) “Athletics isn’t the only important activity in this school, even if i ou think it is. The English department is having this meeting and you’re going to be there.” Coach: (Angrily at first) “Well, of all the—(somewhat subdued) “Well, what’s it all about? I was just thinking about coming back, anyway, so I guess I’ll stay.’’ Principal: “ I was going to ask you to solve that riddle of mine, you remember. Here it is. Which was the best class that ever graduated from Urbana High School? I mean the most brilliant, illustrious, remarkable, wonderful class, you know.” Coach: “Why, that’s easy! The Class of ’29, of course.” English Teacher: “Why, that’s right! You’re really improving, Mr. Stephens. Here’s the surprise, though. The Class of ’29 is holding a reunion here, tonight.” Coach: “1 can’t understand, though. The members of that class are scattered over so many different parts of the world. You never could have a successful reunion.” (Enter, Physical Education Instructor carrying several telegrams.) P. K.

Telling whence this emblem came; And every tale has added fame And interest to its mystic name. But careful research bared 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 Miami Indians lived here too; The Potlawanomies 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 Davis’ grocery grows apace A little further down the hill There bubbled forth, their thirst to still, A spring of water, clear and cold. A comfort to these warriors bold. 'Tis near this old historic spot That C. N. Clark had a business lot. When first the white man hither came With thought this Indian land to tame The red men of the Kickapoo, And all the other Indians, too. Bore keen resentment; then they swore That they of sleep would have no more 'Till they had driven every man Of white blood out of this, their land. The Indian Chief, Chieagou, strove In vain; the white man throve. He throve in spite of trials severe While ever dangers hovered near From every hostile Indian band Who treachery against him planned. Then, when Chieagou 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 they 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, Responded 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 To answer in person for his class. Before, lo them this hatchet may pass. Senior: Well, why are you so awful slow? You act as if you didn’t know That we are waiting here for you And cannot wait for an hour or two.

Well, sit comfy while I tell you about some of the best animals that ever came from the highlands of the Bal- cony into the lower Bad Lands. Sometime in September all the animals met together, little timid bunnies, gor- geous peacocks, red-headed woodpeckers, and even a few cats and snakes. Yes, they were all there. They elected as their king, the lion, whose voice the nightingales en- vied, whose common name was Chet Logan. For his assistant, a turtle-dove. Bob Christopher, was chosen. A wise old owl called Fern Burton, was elected to keep their records, while a graceful fawn, or Doris Meneely, as she is best known, was elected to keep the keys of the money boxes and send out duns when dues were not paid. Onnolee McDougall, a butterfly, was chosen to represent them on the “Keho” staff. For their “Rosemary 1 representative, a sky-lark, Dot Tyrell was selected. Unit ClIHIHTOl'IlKR.

The gentlemen had a basketball team also, who went through a good season, playing good teams and los- ing but one game. They were a very con- sistent group. In February a show was given called the “Junior Orpli” to raise money for the Junior-Senior Reception. This production drew a full house and was really a big fifty cents worth.

FtJtU-rlghl THE FRESHMAN CLASS In September of nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, about one hundred and fifty bright and ambitious Freshmen entered tin halls of Urbana High School. We had out- grown that good old school of Thornburn, and were destined to proceed another step and enter Urbana High. To show that we were equally as intelligent as the usual green freshman, we at once elected our offi- cers to guide us through the year. Presi- dent. John Aminerman; Vice-President, Milton Johnson; Treasurer, Naomi StefTy; Echo Representative, Marcus Cord; Rose mary Representative, Junior Smith. These officers proved very industrious by leading us through a very success- ful year. Our advisers, Miss Gross, Miss Earl, Miss Field, Miss Lair. Miss Carson, and Mr. Anderson, also aided us greatly in making the year a successful one. We look for big things in athletics before we finish high school.

Our President, John Ammerman has achieved the distinc- tion of being the highest-powered salesman in I’rbana High. John won a silver lov- ing cup for selling the most season tickets for the U club. John was also active in athletics. As Class Stunt Shows were discon- tinued this year, we did not have a chance to show how dramatically inclined we Je.MOH Smith, were, but we did have a Debate team and KcprZmr,Znre proud we are of it. The Freshman Party was one of the “big lights” of the year. We reveled in the delicious ice-cream, and played games. Our Chaperones were: Miss Gross and Miss Earl. As is usually the case with freshmen, we have not had a chance to do very much during our first year in high school but we have high aspirations for our class during the coming years. .Junior Smith Top Ifoir Korn.

Hr lio ttcprmcutattrr FI ftp-one Sixty-tiro COACHES Among tin coaches in central Illinois and especially in the Big 12 there is one that is especially admired. This particular coach came to Urbana high about four years ago and straightway was given the title “foxy Lew. This title surely fitted Mr. Stephens for during those four years he has taken much pleasure in upsetting the dope. There is another point for which Mr. Stephens is admired. That is his ability to make superior athletes. During the period of time which he has been coaching some remarkable athletes have developed. This is easily shown by the number of former Urbana students who have shown their ability at the University of Illinois. There is no doubt at all but what this talent was deve- loped during their high school days. Through Mr. Stephens’ efforts Urbana has gained the title of one of the foremost schools in this part of the state as far as athletics is concerned. Another coach at Urbana High does a great deal of work but gets very little credit. This is Buck Schroth. who has been Mr. Stephens’ right hand man for the last four years. Buck has, during this period, coached the second and reserve teams. This duty is not at all a pleasing one and is given very little recognition. As fast as lie develops a player who shows some talent the player is immediately taken to the varsity and Buck is given the task of teaching another. During football and basketball season Buck is the chief scout for Urbana. It is his duty at this time to find out what other schools are doing. His reports as a scout have helped to a great extent in developing the Urbana teams. Along with the coaches there is another person in Urbana High that de- serves recognition. This is Dave Busey. For two years Dave has acted as manager of football, basketball, baseball and track. At this duty he has been very efficient and has taken much interest in following the Urbana teams.

GEORGETOWN 0 For the second time in two years Urbana s grid contest with Georgetown resulted in a nothing to nothing score. An unusually large crowd backed the green Urbana team in their first enterprise. Both goals were threatened at different periods of the game, but neither team was sufficiently strong enough to score. The climax of the game came when “Newt” Red in on picked up a fumble and ran sixty yards for a touch- down. This brilliant run did not count, because the referee’s whistle had blown before the ball was recovered. URBANA 38, SALEM (i For the first home game of the season, Urbana ran wild over a rather weak team from Salem. In this game little Clyde Cash showed his first ability as an open field runner, by scoring four touchdowns. Cash, however, did not play the whole game, because Thomas and Fitzsimmons each made some fine runs and scored touchdowns. Freeman and Jones were the main supports in the line. Captain Jones was our most dependable linesman. Besides his duties as captain he was an outstanding player. Wayne held the tackle position throughout the season. From this posi- tion he opened large holes in the opponents' lino and in this way was greatly responsible for many of our gains. His sterling defensive qualities made him an all-around player. Wendell Freeman was the key-man in the Urbana line. His ability to break up plays be- hind the line would be a valuable asset to any team. Wendell played very consistently throughout the senson. For two years he lias filled this position well, and his leaving will he a great loss to next year's team. I'UKKMAN URBANA 3, LINCOLN 7 Urbana suffered its first defeat of the season when they met Lincoln, their first conference foe. Urbana advanced into the scoring zone and Bullock succeeded in making a place kick. The crowd had hardly stopped cheering when Corines, the colored star from Lincoln, carried the ball for sixty yards and a touchdown. Urbana came back with a lot of tight and advanced into the scoring territory several times, but in each case failed to make a winning play. URBANA 34, FARMER CITY 0 After the Lincoln game. Urbana had rather an easy game with Farmer City. This was the last non-conference game this season and many of the substitutes were put into action. Cash again was the outstanding player, and scored four touchdowns. Bullock’s place-kicks scored three of the points after touchdowns. Paul Veale held tho guard position at dif- ferent times during the 11)28 season. He was a quick charger and a hard tackier. This was his first real attempt at football and he made a remarkable showing. He will he missed next year. Don Smith, a newcomer to the Urbana team this year, proved a great help. He was Jones' team-mate by playing tackle. Although he didn’t play as a regular throughout tlie year, ho held an important position in the line. Don did some tine defensive playing in the Dan- ville and Champaign games. Smith URBANA 12, DECATUR (i By a brilliant aerial attack. Urbana defeated their old rival—Decatur. Decatur scored the first touchdown by a long: pass to a sleeper on the first play after the kick-off. By a clever passing attack, led by Chuck Thomas, Urbana was able to score two touchdowns. This made the final score twelve to six. The best playing of the game was done by Thomas who passed on the dead run and completely battled the opponents. URBANA 18, DANVILLE 7 For the first time in six years, Urbana defeated Danville. From the first of the game Urbana showed a lot of light and punch, and three times were able to carry the ball on long drives for touchdowns. Danville’s lone touchdown came in the third quarter when several Urbana substitutes were playing. The whole Urbana line looked good and in the baekfield Cash and Thomas vied for honors. Nkwman Harry Newman, an all-around player on the Urbana team, played at tackle, and baekfield positions. He was an except ionally hard blocker and a hard tackier, and his ability both, as an offensive and a defensive player will be missed next year. Harry has played for the last two years on the Urbana team. The actual piloting of the Urbana eleven was left to “Bunny” Fitzsimmons. He played the position of quarter-back throughout the year. His sneaks through the line and around end helped In Urlmnu's offensive playing. This was “Bunny’s” second year with the varsity and his presence will he missed next year. Fitzsimmons AVU lrn URBANA 26. PEORIA MANUAL 0 It was a sad clay for the Peoria hoys when they were crushed under the driving onslaught of the Urbana eleven. Clyde Cash made tracks to look upon when, for the third time on our own field, he splashed and plowed through the mud for four touchdowns. The Urbana team gave one of the best exhibitions of good football that has ever been given on the Urbana held. Every man on the team did his duty and then some, for there were no weak spots at which the opponents could drive. URBANA 0, MATTOON 0 On what seemed to be a deserted baseball diamond near Mattoon. Urbana struggled desperately with their opponents without avail. The Held was so muddy and the ball was so slippery that neither team could advance. The mud slowed down a great many plays, and the condition of the ball made it impos- sible to pass. Captain Jones played a good game, and the backfield looked good on defense, but no one could be expected to run on a day like that. “Big Dan Christopher was a regular lineman this year. He was fast and was a hard charger. He played both guard and tackle but played guard most of the time. Dan was a very valuable man to the eleven this year and his position will be hard to till next year. Frederick Reese, a new man from Syndey, played half back and end on the second team. Although he did not start in many of the games he made a very capable substitute. Frit has not had very much previous experi- ence on the gridiron but became quite adapt at handling the pigskin. Kkksk Seventy-one URBANA 0. CHAMPAIGN 7 After a long hard-fought battle. Urbana at last had to acknowledge defeat, although they were in no way outplayed. It was a clear day, and the field was dry. This gave both teams full oppor- tunity to display whatever skill they had. For the first three quarters the ball traveled back and forth, and both goals were threatened. Toward the end of the last quarter, Champaign made a hard drive about the forty yard line and succeeded in scoring a touchdown. Urbana came back and tried hard to score, but the time was short and the opportunity did not come. Even though the score was not in our favor, the Urbana team kept fighting to the end. Ernest Veach played at the center and guard positions. Although he did not play us a regular lie made an able substitute. Sev- eral times during the year he was able to break through the line and throw the oppon- ents for a loss. He proved to be a capable and efficient player. Lex” Bullock played at end position dur- ing the season. He was an important cog in Urbana’s aerial attack, and also acted as plaoekicker. His kicks after touchdowns helped in a great many games. Lex. we hope, will be playing with the varsity next year. Vkacii SUMMARY OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON This year Urbana completed one of the most successful seasons they have had for some time. Out of nine games we lost only two which gave us .800 percent. Our conference schedule was particularly successful because we re- ceived a second place in the final rating. Champaign forfeited all of their games which made Peoria Manual first place and Urbana second. This year more men reported for practice than ever before. Besides the regular first squad there was the Freshmen-Sophomore squad who played games on a regular schedule. At the beginning of the year over one hundred suits were issued and throughout the entire season about ninety boys reported for practice. The interest in football among the under classmen was very good and we are looking forward to next year's season with great anticipation. Thomas “Chuck” Thomas, captain-elect of the 1030 football team, was one of the ablest players we had this year. He was our only triple-threat man and because of his ability to run, kick, and pass, he had the honor of being the most valuable player in the Cham- paign game. Great things will he expected of Thomas next year. .loe Danely, another Junior on the squad, was one of the able back-ilelders. Joe held the important position of a blocker and a pass-receiver. He received a twisted knee just before the Champaign game and was unable to play. Joe earned his letter by his good playing In the early season games. Danki.y Scrr ity-three Newt” Redman, Cash's running mate, played on the first team at different intervals. His ability as an open Held runner is in- creasing. “Newt” was an important cog In Urbana’s secondary de- fense and he did a great deal to win distinction during the year. Ho will be back next year. Clyde Cash was one of the greatest open field runners on any Urbana team in recent years. Clyde was an All-Big 12 player and won tlie distinction of being the most popular athlete in Champaign County. His ability ns a spectacular runner will be looked forward to with much anticipation next year. Sam Current substituted in line positions. He was a good de- fensive player and he broke many plays behind the line. He helped out the reserve squad in some of their games this year. Sam will be with us again next year and great things will be expected of him. Ki-sski.i. This year Little Carleton” Russell made his first attempt at playing football in which lie was quite successful. He held the guard and tackle positions and greatly strengthened his side of the Urbana line. His qualities as a defensive player will be looked forward to next year. Dick Terwilliger was another Junior who won his letter in football this year. Dick played on the second team most of the time and made a very good substitute for end. He probably will form an important cog in Ur- bana's passing offense next year because of Ids ability to catch the pigskin. Tcrwii.liokr J First Itote- Klees, M widows, Tlmiiins, Mallow, Wi-oks.

RESERVE SQUAD The reserve squad this year came through with some very fine results. They played regular games with the reserve squads of other schools. Arthur Stephens coached them and had great results. They played such teams as Roose- velt and Central Junior Highs at Decatur, Tuscola, Champaign, Cerro Gordo, lloopeston and West ville. The most outstanding players on this team were Sadler, Reynolds, Waldron, and Thomas. We are expecting these boys to see service with the varsity next year. Out of the ten games played our reserve squad only lost two, which is a mighty fine record. ‘•Red” Clem played at end and running guard positions. He was a good pass receiver and a hard blocker. Although lie didn’t play as a regular he was a valuable player. He will be back next year, and it is thought that ho will be of great help to the varsity eleven. Ralph Seely acted as an able substitute for Cash and Redmon. Ralph is a good back- lleld man now, being a good tackier and a good ball carrier. He played at the quarter- back position and may take Bunny’s” posi- tion next year. fierent ti-flrr Ni oly. Knight, Wood, Hurd. CHEER LEADERS What would athletics do without pep—and how can we have pep but by cheerleaders! We are fortunate in having four peppy cheerleaders, namely, Dwayne Wood. Glen Neely, Hill Knight, and Wesley llurd. These fellows are indirectly responsible for the success of the teams. It is no easy job to lead cheers and keep the crowd enthusiastic—let alone having to do it in all kinds of weather. This year, for the first time, our cheerleaders have used tumbling as a means of getting pep from the spectators—and although they did tumble some times, nevertheless they succeeded in giving the crowd something different and peppy. “Two gun” Neely’s voice was surely an asset to him and to I'rbana's side of the cheering section. Wood’s rythm and tumbling helped make the yells run smoothly. Hurd helped Wood in the tumbling and lent his enthusiasm, along with Knight’s to the leading of the yells. Next year we expect big things from Dwayne Wood, Wes llurd, and Bill Knight, all three .Juniors this year. DRUM MAJOR During Basketball and Football season the Band played for a great many games. They helped a great deal in keeping up the pep and spirit of the backers. Bob llarmison was' the drum major and through his and Mr. Kone'.s efforts tIn band made some very tine appearances.

PEKSONNELL OF BASKETBALL TEAM Bernard Fitzsimmon, Capt. Charles Thomas Frederick Reese Lex Bullock Sam Current BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Alumni Evanston Big Twelve Tournament Salem Danville Paxton Decatur Champaign Atwood District Tournament Decatur (‘ham paii;n Danville Lincoln Peoria Manual Ogden Mattoon Paxton Mattoon Seventy-eight ALUMNI Urbana successfully started oft’ their basketball season with high hopes. The first game was played with the Urbana Alumni. Nearly all of the last year's team was back and they looked fine. They seemed to have lost none of their ability of hitting baskets and at times made the varsity look bad. The final score was, however, 27 to 23 in our favor. Terwilliger and Cash were the outstanding players for Urbana. EVANSTON Urbana s first regular game of this season was played with Evanston On their floor. The game was much better than the score might suggest for during the first three quarters the game was nip and tuck. Evanston rallied toward the last and were too much for the Urbana boys. Never once throughout the game did Urbana s pep or fight falter. The best playing for Urbana was shown by Chuck Thomas and Clyde Cash. The final score was -11 to 21 in Evanston’s favor. Kir siM moss Bunny Fitzsimmons was elec-led captain of our basketball team this year and during the season he led his teammates wisely and well. Bunny played at a forward position and during the season was responsible for a great many of our points. His ability to get around the floor would help any team a great deal. Bunny will surely be missed next year. Fritz Reese, a Sydney lad on the Frbann team, played at center and guard positions. He made his strongest bid at guard where he often held his man to a very low score. Fritz was a very good man also and in several games his baskets helped bring up Urbana’s score. Reese is the other of the two Senior lettermen in basketball. Ki-.kxk BIG TWELVE TOURNAMENT The first annual Big twelve tournament was held in Peoria during the Christmas holidays. Here Urbana met Peoria Central in the opening game of the Tournament. The first part of the game was quite interesting and Urbana held her own with Peoria. George Soper all-state forward from Peoria, however proved too good for the Urbana defense and in tlie second half In broke loose. He succeeded in scoring 19 points during the game which made Peoria’s score 28 to Ur- bana ’s 12. Considering Peoria Central won the tournament, Urbana’s defeat is nothing to he ashamed of. SALEM One of the fastest games played on the Urbana floor this season was the game with Salem. Throughout the gome the score was so close no one was sure of the outcome. During flic last minute they made two baskets that made the final score 29 to 36. Cash and Redman played the best game for Urbana and accounted for nearly all of our points. Seventy-nine BOM.OCK DANVILLE Urbana celebrated its first victory in basketball this year by defeating Danville in a very decisive game. From the very first Urbana got possession of the ball and kept it. At the end of the first quarter Urbana led by a score of -1 to 0 and throughout the game kept a handy margin of points. Fritz Reese and Clarence Dalton were the two outstanding Urbana players. During this game we successfully completed ten out of twelve attempts at free throws. The final score was 21 to 19. PAXTON Urbana completed a notorious week-end by defeating Pax- ton by a score of 27 to 17. The game was played on Paxton’s floor and Urbana was backed by a loyal group of followers. • Newt” Redman was the outstanding player, scoring 5 baskets and 1 free throw. In this game Urbana rallied in the second half by scoring 21 points to their opponents’ 8. Lex Bullock who is Just a Junior got over his clumsiness and made a good basketball player for Urbana. He played center and played it well for there were very few opponents who could get the tip from him. Lex will he hack again next year and we will he expecting great things from him. Chuck Thomas played as a guard on the Urbana team all sea- son. This was his second year at varsity basketball and he did quite well. His fast floor work helped to a very great extent keeping down our opponents score. Chuck is Just a Junior and we will be looking forward to his work on the basketball team next year. DECATUR In the Decatur game, Urbana met their second conference foe. With an entirely changed line-up, the Urbana team started off with a lot of pep and fight and succeeded in holding their opponents until the end of the third quarter. Urbana battled hard in the final period, blit were finally overcome by a score of 1( to 32. This was Urbana’s first conference loss of tin season. Although Redman was Urbana’s high point man, Fitzsimmons and Reese gave him much support. CHAMPAIGN Urbana lost its first game to Champaign in the new gym by a score of 34 to 20. Urbana started the scoring by a free throw made by Clarence Dalton. Fritz Reese and Carl Red- man seemed to be the only Orange and Black players that could find the basket. Captain llagcrman of Champaign led his team-mates in scoring of 12 of their 34 points. Throughout the game Urbana’s pep and fight showed up and the crowd hacked them until the final whistle. Thomas Ktghtu ATWOOD On the Urbana floor we met one of the strongest little teams in this part of the state. The game was very brilliant and some excellent playing was shown by both sides. For Urbana, Fitz- simmons and Clyde Cash played the best. They both made sev- eral baskets and their floor work helped a great deal. The finai score of this game was 28 for Atwood and 24 for Urbana. DECATUR On the Urbana floor we lost our second game with Decatur by a score of 19 to 13. The game was very fast throughout and in the last quarter Urbana made a desperate attempt to rally. However, the final whistle blew before the team could complet� their enterprise. This victory put Decatur at tin- top in Big Twelve standing. CUKKRNT Sam Current Is another Junior who won his letter this year. Sam played most ot the time at guard. His ability to sneak down the door and sink a couple of long shots when they are needed would he an asset to any team. Sam Is slightly stocky but he moves on the floor with remarkable speed. We will be glad to see Sam back again next year. C.eorge Maris played as a snbstitnte most of the season. He played at every position and seemed to be an all-around man. Al- though George did not win his letter, he played a great deal and made a very capable substitute throughout the season. George will be missed next year. CHAMPAIGN Maris Urbana met Champaign for their second game in the new gym. This time they met Champaign with an entirely different type of game. They attempted a zone defense which worked quite well except for the fact that some of the Champaign sharpshooters could shoot over it success- fully. Urbana fought hard and attempted to rally toward the last but they were finally defeated by a score of 34 to 1G. DANVILLE The second Danville game this year was piayed on their floor and a great many Urbana rooters were there to back their team. From the very first the game swayed back and forth. First Danville would get a lead then Urbana would tie it up. The best playing was done by Dick Terwilliger who played better than he had at any other time this season. The most fascinating piece of work was a flying tackle made by Dutehy Faulkner as his man went in for a short shot. Tin game resulted in a 31 to 29 victory for Urbana. Eight gone Tkrwii.i.iokk LINCOLN On Lincoln’s floor Crhana suffered another conference de- feat. This was a hard battle for us all the way for tho Lin- coln team was very strong. Deacon Oornes was their out- standing player and Clyde Cash was given the task of guard- ing him. Dutchy Faulkner played on his first real game on this occasion and did very well for a sophomore. Crhana was finally forced to acknowledge defeat by a score of 38 to 27. PEORIA MANUAL On the Peoria floor Crhana lost in a very rough game to their old opponents, Peoria Manual. Throughout the game Crhana showed-good floor work. Our pep and fight was not enough, however, to overcome the strength shown by the Peoria hoys. Lex Bullock played the best game for Crhana which was a pleasant surprise to everyone. The final score was 31 to 25. I)ick Terwilliger played at different positions during the year. He made a very good substitute at center. Dick was a very good shot at the basket and his floor work was very good. He is a Junior and will he back on the squad next year. Clarence Dalton was another junior who came to his own in bas- ketball this year. He played at center and in several of our games he showed a great deal of ability. He was a stronger offensive player than a defensive player. Clarence will be back again next year and will mak? another hid at basketball honors. OGDEN Asa mid season, non-conference game, Urbana played Ogden. Our opponents brought a large group of hackers. The game was fast and furious from flu very slat-1, hut Crhana was unable to overtake her opponents who gol tin early lead. The best playing for Urbana was done by Chuck Thomas. Sammy Current also played a fine game and both boys did some very splendid guard- ing. The final score was 34 to 26. MATTOON Urbana met Mattoon on their floor in a very rough game. Here Crhana was defeated only after four quarters of hard fight- ing. Bunny Fitzsimmons played a very good game until the last quarter. At this time he was accidentally hit in the eye and had to stop because he could not see. The final score was 35 to 27 in Mattoon s favor. l AI.TON Klphty-t too rrr f' DMT low. mu = ( ] f 'I PAXTTW------- On the Urbana floor Paxton was defeated for the second time this year. This was another one of the kind of games the barkers like to see. Throughout the last half the score was either tied or very close. In tin last minute or two Sara Cur- rent drew the game out of the tire hy sinking two shots from about the free throw line. This was one of the best exhibitions of basketball shown on our Moor this vear. The final score was 27 to 24. MATTOON In Urbanas second tilt with Mat toon we were suceesssful in getting revenge for the game we lost on their floor. The Urbana team was in top shape and was fighting mad. The vic- tory was not due to the outstanding play of any one man hut to the work of the whole team. The floor was very good and the game was very interesting. The final score was 82 to 29 in our favor which part way compensates for the heating we re- ceived the week before. fit It KOI AN Carl Redman was one of the flashiest forwards on the Urbana team this year. He was Urlmna's high point man in nearly every game. At times it seemed as if he couldn’t miss the basket. He will surely be on the squad again next year and we will look for- ward to his flashy floor work. Clyde Cash throughout the season played forward as Redman's running mate. Although he did not play consistently on the first team he made a very capable substitute. His floor work was very fast and his ability to hit baskets was equally us good. He will be back next year. Cash DISTRICT TOURNAMENT In the district tournament held at Paxton the Urbana team was backed by an exceptionally large group of rooters. In the first game Urbana met Melvin, one of the strongest teams last year. We won this game quite easily and nearly all the substitutes got to play. This game might have made I'r- hana slightly overconfident for in the second game we met Ran- tonl and were defeated. We arc positive that Urbana could play better than they did that night for every player seemed to he off form. This game was the last basketball of the season and although we did not win it we know at least that the hoys tried hard enough to win. Kii hliz-thrcr Fir it I Hou- WiTtz.

Every class had a great many boys interested and their teams accomplished a great deal. This year the Freshmen team was coached by Buck Schroth. Their outstanding victories came by defeating the Champaign freshmen very decisively on two occasions. Another victory was that over Foosland in which the score was 25 to 20 in our favor. The best players were Johnny Ammcrman, Thomas, Glenn, and Saddler. SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL The Sophomores completed the most successful of any of the underclass- men. They played fourteen games without a single loss. They were also coached by Buck Schroth. The outstanding players were Faulkner, Barth, Dixon, and Hamilton. We will be expecting to see several of these men on the varsity next year. For completing a successful season every member of the team was given a silver basketball by the Athletic Association.

They completed a season almost as successful as the Sophomores. They lost only two out of fourteen games. The outstanding players of this squad were: Kenneth Palmer, Hob Christopher, and Clarence Dalton. This squad was coached by Ayers. 1 NT RAM URAL B ASK RTBAIX The intramural season met with great success this year for the boy’s interest was greater than has ever been shown before. There were a great many teams who strived hard for the championship, but all were finally eliminated except that of Lex Bullock’s. There were not so many stars on the Championship team, but they all seemed to work well together. Firttt Hotr- Wolslyor. Bullock. Llpplncolt, I'ralir. second Kmc—Marshall, Turpcnnlnc. Highty-flcc ATHLETICS AT URBANA HIGH For the last few years Urbana has held an important position in athletics in this part of the state. The high principles which are upheld by tlie athletic de- partment is no doubt the reason for this position. We have, during these few years presented some very good teams, but his attention comes from true sports- manship, not just winning ability. Urbana has always stressed sportsmanship more than anything else, but there is another point that is stressed here also. That is the fight and pep that the teams from here have. We do not always win, but the teams always fight. This is the point that makes sportsmanship. This pep and fight is not limited to the athletes but is included in the make- up of every loyal backer. The backers for Urbana have always been loyal sports and have been able to take a defeat in the right way. We have established some fine records in an athletic way in the past few years and we hope that those who follow us will continue to uphold the standards of Urbana High. tUyhtv-nlx Hr t liotc Kiileht.

TRACK SCHEDULE Champaign Mi Ili ken Illinois Wesleyan Big Twelve District State Finals Eighty-eight CHAMPAIGN Urbana opened her track season by a dual meet with Champaign. In this meet we were defeated mainly because of our lack of talent in the weight events. The final score of this meet was 81 to 4.'). Most of the points for Urbana came from second and third places. Gilbert Shannon however won the 220 yard and Dan Christopher won both the high and low hurdles and tied with Dave Adams and Harry Newman for first in the high jump. The Urbana team was made up almost entirely of underclassmen who will be back next year. Adams At the beginning of this season the old lettermen elected Dave Adams as their cap- tain. During the season Dave has proven he was the man for the position and piloted his team through a victorious season. He was one of our high Jumpers and in every meet I'rbana entered, except the State finals. Dave placed. Dan Christopher was one of the outstand- ing track men of this year's squad. He ran the high and low hurdles and ran on the mile and half mile relay as well. Dan was the high point man and garnered about 35 points during the season. He will graduate and his place will he hard to fill. «’iiHiHTormni Eightv-ninc M ILLI KEN For the first big meet of the season I’rbana entered the Milliken Relays at Decatur. The only individual points we received was a second place in the high jump by Dave Adams and a fourth place in the same event by Harry New- man. The I'rbana one mile relay team, made up of Newman, Maris. Christo- pher, and Terwilliger received second place. ILLINOIS WESLEYAN For the second big meet of the year we attended the annual interscholastic meet held at Illinois Wesleyan. In this meet we met some very tough competi- tion and succeeded in placing seventh. The outstanding Urbana performers were Dave Adams and Harry Newman, who tied with a man from Chicago for a second place in the high jump. Dick TenviJliger won a second place in the quarter mile. Irving Seely, a sophomore got an unexpected third in the pole vault. Considering the competition, the I'rhana team looked very good. Xkwman Harry Newman was another high jumpei this year who turned in a good record. Harry won the high jump in the Big Twelve at a height of 6 (t. 1 5 8 in. This established a new conference record. Besides high jump- ing, Harry ran on our one mile and half mile relay teams. George Marls won his letter in track this year by running the quarter mile. George worked hard alt season and was at last re- warded by placing in the Conference and District meets. Besides the quarter mile, George also ran on the mile and half mile relays teams. Maims BIG TWELVE This year the big twelve meet was held jointly by Peoria Central and Manual. Crbana won this meet for the fourth conseeutive time. The outstanding: performers in this meet were Dan Christopher, Dick Terwilliger, Dave Adams, and Harry Newman. Dan won both the high and low hurdles. Dick won the quarter and got a second place in the half. Harry Newman broke the high jump record by jumping ( ft. 1 5 8 in. This is about three inches higher than the old record. Dave Adams got second in this event by jumping something over six feet. We are looking for Crbana to come through and win this meet next year. t Tkkwii.mckk Dick Terwilliger was one of our outstand- ing track athletes. He ran the quarter mile as his main event, then ran on our mile and half mile relay teams as well. Dick placed in every meet this year and won his event in the Champaign, the Conference, the Dis- trict meets. In the State finals Dick was the only Urbana man to place. He won a second place in the quarter and his time was about 51.6 sec. Dick will he bnck next year. Irving Seely was the only Sophomore who earned a letter in track this year. Irving was our best pole vaulter and earned his letter by winning this event in the Big Twelve and the Champaign meets. Irving will be back next year to improve his records of this year. Skki.y Xhuli onr THE DISTRICT MEET The district meet was held this year at Onarga on the Military Academy track. Urbana won this meet which again makes her fourth straight victory here. Dan Christopher again led the scorers by winning both the high and low hurdles. Dick Terwilligcr again won the quarter mile. Gilbert Shannon won bis first medals here by scoring a second in both the 100 and 220 yd. dashes. The records made at this meet were very poor due to the terrible condition of the track and the fact that a very hard wind was blowing. STATE FINALS In the State finals held at the stadium the records of the Urbana team were somewhat overshadowed by the remarkable times that were turned in every event. Dick Terwilligcr was the only Urbana man to place. After a bad start he won a second place in the quarter with a time of about 51.6 seconds. Gilbert Shannon has worked faithfully for three years on the track squad at Urbana and was dually rewarded by winning his letter this year. Gilbert ran the dashes and was on the mile and half mile relay teams. He won his letter by getting an unexpected second in both the one hundred and the two-twenty yard dashes at the district meet. Hobart Peer is a senior and won his first letter in track this year. He has worked hard for the last two years and succeeded in placing second in the half mile run at the District Meet. Besides the individual half mile event Hobart ran on the two mile relay team as well. Clyde Cash won his second letter this year in track. He scored a second in the fifty yard dash at the District meet. Clyde has worked hard, hut because there are so many other good sprinters in this part of the state he was given outside hopes of placing. The result of this race was a pleasant surprise and we hope he will surprise us in the same way next year. N« i� ly. Berpsford. Ilonhvy, Kni-'hl. CROSS COUNTRY During football season then was a small bunch of thin clad boys that seemed to enjoy running around in the cold. This was our cross country team. It was composed of Glen Neely, Herbert Hershev, Hill Knight, and George Bercsford. This team had dual meets with Decatur, Danville, and Champaign. To finish the season they entered the conference meet. Here Glen Neely won a scond place, but tin team failed to place. INDOOR TRACK Before the snows had begun to melt a small group of boys started to work on track. The weather was too chilly to work out doors so they took their exer- cises in the University armory. They were working toward one meet, this was the University of Illinois Relay Carnival. Ur- bana entered this meet in the one mile relay and although they did not place they made a good showing. Following this the team took a trip to the National Indoor Interscholastic at Northwestern. Those who participated in this work were: Dave Adams. Narry Newman, Dan Christopher, Gilbert Shannon, •lohn Borgois, Harlan Bickers. .John Tobie, and Bill Knight. f t Glen Neely was the only man who earned a letter in cross-country this year. He won his letter by placing second in the Conference meet held this year. Glen has been working hard for the last three years and has at last been rewarded for his efforts. He also runs the mile on our regular track squad. Xfnrty-thrcc TWO LETTER MEN This year, because no major letters were given in Baseball and only five in basketball none of our outstanding men won three letters. There were, how- ever, several who won two letters this year. Chuck Thomas won his letters in football and basketball and was an out- standing player in both sports. Chuck is also a good baseball player and is a captain of one of the Intramural teams. Sam Current is another junior who has won two letters this year. Sam won his letter first in football then in basketball. Sara is captain of our base- ball team this year. Harry Newman is a Senior who has won two letters this year. Harry was on both our football and track teams and has done remarkably well in both sports. Dan Christopher is another senior who has won two letters this year. Dan participated first in football and later in track. Bunny Fitzsimmons received two major letters this year. His first came in football and then as captain of our basketball team he received his second letter. Frederick Reese won two letters this year. He won his first in football then in basketball. Fritz is a senior ami his work in both sports will be missed next year. Clyde Cash participated in three major sports and won his letter in two of these. Besides the good work Clyde turned in in football and track, he was a basketball player of no little ability. Dick Terwiiliger has won two letters this year. He won his first in foot- ball, then repeated the performance again in track. Dick is a Junior. tH li four i'irttt liotr -Current. Reynolds. Russell, Rcduum. Mnllow, I’nliiier, Buscy.

The result of this enterprise was an 11 to 3 victory for us. Arm- strong seemed rather weak or it may be due to the fact that they did not have a good pitcher. Chuck Thomas pitched for Urbana and did a good job of it. There were very few hits, most of the runs being the result of walks. ARMSTRONG Urbana played Armstrong again for the second game of the season. This game was played on Urbana 's diamond. Rurgoise pitched for us in this game. The only outstanding play was a home run made by Headley. In this game as in the other Urbana got several runs due to walks. Urbana won this game by a score of 8 to 5. Chuck Thomas participated in his fourth major sport this year by taking part in Baseball. Chuck was our best pitcher and one of our ablest batters. He gave a very good exhibition of pitching in the Danville games. Thomas was a captain of one of the intramural teams. Thomas .Yfw cty-ncvni DANVILLE Urbana mot Danville as their first conference foe. This game was played on Danville’s diamond and resulted in a 11 to 0 defeat for us. Danville had an older hunch of players than Urbana and they played a superior brand of ball throughout the game. In this game Chuck Thomas did a very good job of pitching. DANVILLE Urbana met Danville for the fourth regular baseball game of the season and were defeated for the second time. Urbana played a good game and had a lot of pep and fight but they finally had to acknowledge defeat. The most outstanding players were John Thomas, Newt Redman, Carlton Russell, and Sam Current. Sam Current pitched. The only home run was made by Carlton Russell, but Redman got several good hits. •« Carlton Russell was our heavy hitter this year. t He played first base and was a very adept at handling the ball. Carlton tried to pitch at the first of the year but hurt his arm early In the season. He Is nlso a cap- “tain of one of the intramural teams. UlSSKl-l. Yf n lif-chjht INTRAMURAL BASEBALL This year because of the lack of interest for Baseball an intramural schedule was formed. Here six of the outstanding varsity players were chosen as cap- tains and they were allowed to choose players from a group of students who were interested. The six captains were Sam Current, Carlton Russell, Chuck Thomas, Bunny Fitzsimmons. Cecil Cole, and Newt Redman. Besides the regu- lar students an outsider is hacking each team. At the time the Rosemary goes to press several games have been played and the results are that Chuck Thomas, Sam Current, and Newt Redman are all tied for first place, each having an average of 1000 percent. “Newt Redmon took an active part in baseball this year by playing shortstop and by being a captain of one of the intramural teams. “Newt” is very fast on his feet and can handle the ball with a great deal of ability. Resides his fielding ability he is one of our most consistent batters. Newt will be playing again next year. Xlm lu-nhu' BASEBALL Truly baseball is the great American game. Even though major “TV wore not given to the baseball players this year, there was just as much en- thusiasm shown as in years previous. Baseball can be played by anyone, tall or short, fat or skinny, and this fact accounts for the universal interest in the game. By playing this game one learns sportsmanship, develops a quick thinking mind, and all the while develops his body. Baseball is one of the most interesting of games to watch because the actions of every man can be seen, the plays are slow in comparison to football, basketball, etc. And, above all, the rules of the game are simple and easily understood. Kites i m mono Bunny Fitzsimmons was one of the most enthusi- astic captains of intramural baseball. We do not know whether or not Bunny ever played baseball before, but we do know that he was greatly interested and had a good time while playing. GOLF This year Urbana � interest in Golf grew until a team was formed and a schedule for meets were played. About eight boys took an active interest and promptly proceeded to excavate patches of the I’rbana Golf Course. Those who were out for this sport were: John Burt. Joe Danely, Bob Christopher. Elton Mill, Rodger Coble. Fred Miles, and Dick Fulmer. They worked and practiced hard and played matches with Peoria Manual, Peoria Central, and Champaign. Then to finish the season they entered the Big Twelve meet and the State Finals. Althoupgh they did not win any of their meets they got a great deal of experi- ence and as they are nearly all underclassmen we will expect something from them next year. Cecil Cole was another of the Intramural captains. He played on the varsity team as well and was quite efficient. 1-Ie has had little experience in baseball but has proven himself capable of handling a bat and ball.

SWIMMING This year Urbana completed quite a successful season by taking fourth place in the Big Twelve ami by winning two of their four dual meets. The first meeting of the season was a dual meet with Danville in the Urbana pool. Danville won every individual event except the 100 yard breast stroke, which was won by Expey Williamson. Danville also won the relay which gave them a great margin on points. The second meet was held with Champaign in the Champaign pool. We were again defeated, but not so badly as in the first meet. Captain Kspcy Williamson and A1 Moore were the outstanding swimmers in this contest. The next meet was our second meet with Champaign. It was held in the Urbana pool, and in this meet we won by score of 33 to 27. Espey William- son. A1 Moore, Tom Mason, and Dwayne Wood accounted for nearly all of our points. The last dual meet was with Danville, and was held in the Danville pool. Here Danville met their first swimming defeat in five years. The score was 32-28. In this meet Hatch, Rayner, Wood and Anderson, all Juniors, helped a great deal in bringing victory to Urbana. The final meet of the season was the Big Twelve meet held in the Urbana pool. Danville won this meet: Champaign, second; Peoria, third; and Urbana Fourth. Here Williamson. Hatch, Moore, and Mason all won points. l-'irat Moir Admit� . Black hum. Doul lilt.

GIRLS’ ATHLETICS BASKETBALL In the girls’ basketball tournament this year, every class was represented by some excellent players. The championship, which was won by the Juniors, was a hard struggle between the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores who all tied for first place. In playing off the tie, the Juniors defeated both the Sophomores and the Seniors. The Champions displayed very excellent team-work and bril- liant passing. The games also proved very entertaining to the loyal spectators. The Juniors receiving letters were: Zita Spradling, Dorothy Tyrrell, Mar- garet Connerty, Madeline Cord, Mildred Everting, Ina Adams, and Dorothy Douthit. Those on the all-star team were: Zita Spradling, Helen Russell, Kathryn Leutwiler, Jessie Wheeler, Dorothy Zink, Edna Me Kim, Mildred Ever- ting received honorable mention. Taken as a whole, the girls’ basket season was very successful. About one hundred girls came out. Although there was keen competition, good sports- manship prevailed throughout the tournament. BASEBALL About fifty girls came out for baseball this year. Even though the May Fete interfered with practice, the girls showed unusual interest. Each of the teams showed a great deal of skill and ability and each class proved that it had some very good baseball players. r NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society of Urbana High chooses annually five per- cent of the upper fourth of the Junior Class and fifteen percent of the upper fourth of the Senior Class to membership.

I� AN ('HKI8TOIMIKR Prctidt nl One Hundred Mine THE “U” CLUB During tin school year of 192!) the “1”’ Club of Urbana High has been decidedly active. At the beginning of the year Bernard Fitzsimmons was elected to the presidency with Wendel Freeman as Vice-presi- dent and Card Redmon as Secretary-treasurer. This organization changed its methods from the regular procedure of previous years and did away with its old method of initiating new members. Instead of taking tho initiates out to some-out-of-the-way place and feeding them limburger cheese and a large Hat piece of hickory, there has been de- vised a much more pleasant and formal initiation. A consti- tution was written and before an assembly of the entire school the new members take a pledge and sign their names upon this charter. Each year a basketball game is played between the high school varsity and the alumni. The money collected in this method goes to the treasury to he used in giving the best type of annual dance possible. The ideals of the club as established were to have good sportsmanship, to 1m honest, to fight and live a clean, vigorous life, to abstain from tobacco and the like. These rules were adhered h as closely as possible. The annual “U” Club dance was given on March 6, 1929. This was one social event of the scholastic year which was looked forward to with great anticipation. All alumni of the club were invited to attend and all had an enjoyable evening.

GERMAN CLUB In the fall of the year 1928 there was a group of Urbana High School students who bought an old Ford. They named it “Der Deutsche Vercin. It was a good old Ford but it had to have a driver. This group of ambitious people put their heads together and elected Sam Current as driver and Betty Buckler as his as- sistant. Of course there had to be someone to keep account of the money spent for gas and sundry other articles so .John V Bourgois was given this responsible position. And last, but by no means least, there had to be some person to write down about all the trips this little Ford made. William Schlatter was chosen as the most capable one to do this. But even a Ford needs—what shall we call it—a guiding light, and “Dor Deutsche Yereiir would have none other than Miss Ricketts. Many a good time has been had in this old ear—pardon. I meant Ford. One cold, wintry night (Dec. 21) a bunch of peppy students piled into “Dor Deutsche Vcrein and came out to the Urbana High School gym. Everyone had a good time including the old Ford. In fact it had such a good time it had to be coaxed and petted to go home. That was where the rub came in -every time we started anywhere tin Ford had to be coaxed a half hour before it would de- cide to go along with us. Sam C.’imKMXT, J’reoulrnt Top Itoir C.

To begin with, the following officers were elected: President____________________Evelyn Harvey Vice-President_____________Marie Koeberlein Secretary________________________John Davis Treasurer_________________Robert Hieronymus On one occasion quite a few of the Club took a trip to Chicago, the purpose being to visit the Art Institute and Field Museum. Everyone enjoyed seeing the fine art exhibits. Other functions given by the Club were, a Hallowe'en party, when the evening was spent in dancing and games, and a Christmas party, which was held after school in the art room. Christmas stories were told and a few games played. On March 3, 1929 the club gave a Bowery Dance which proved to be different and which everyone enjoyed. During the week of March 18-26, a collection of one hundred and fifty re- productions from “Paintings by Great Masters,” were on exhibit in the art room. The students studied these pictures and copied them in water-color and oils. On April 19, the club sponsored a play, “New Brooms.” The cast was made up of professional actors from the “Better Play Service” from Chicago. The proceeds were used to buy supplies for the Art department. Top Koto—R. Spicer, Miles, Shaw, Hieronymus. Strand Koto Knott� . Millard. Field. Ada iiik. foie, «111, Hundley. MoCollom, HI ley.

This institution is the Agriculture Club. Its membership is composed of boys who are now en- rolled or were at one time enrolled in an agriculture course. The first meeting of the farmer-students was held in December, 1928. The following officers were elected: President----------------------Paule Veale Vice-President________Bernard Fitzimmons '„ % ’ Secretary____________________Alton Emmons WfSy Treasurer---------------------Art Schreiber We have had many interesting meetings during the year, with talks by Mr. Mack North. Mr. (iengrich and Mr. Pucker H|| I of tin Cni versify of Illinois. At the meeting on January 21, 1929, a free-for-all boxing contest was held and the boys had a very exciting time. On |.Arl, vkai.k. February 27, 1929, four C. of I. wrestlers provided interest- rnsuimi ing entertainment for the meeting. Although the Ag Club has been inactive the last three or four years, it has proved quite successful this year. It is hoped that next year’s classes will carry on tin movement started by these students and that the Ag Club will prosper and grow strong just as other student organizations have done.

The purpose of Girl Scouting is to teach the girls the higher and finer ideals of life, and to assist them in meeting W their problems in an honorable, honest way. ™ 22. During the first semester several over-night hikes were taken to the Girl Scout Cabin, and on February 23, 1929, the Annual Mother and Daughter Banquet was held at the First jJU Methodist Church, in Urbana, Illinois. Our troop had per- fret attendance, both in Scouts and guests. Mrs. .lackson. of Dhieago. gave a very stirring speech wliieli will long be re- membered by her audience. All during the second semester we had hikes and many other good times. We also planted a tree in the West Side Park of Champaign, and one day during the first of May, we gave some bird- houses to Carle Park of Urbana, to help beautify the park. 1928-1929 has proved to be quite a successful year for the Robin Hood Troop of Urbana High and we only hope that the Urbana High troop will con- tinue in their success through the coming years.

The band played at 1 . T. A. meetings during the year and also at the State Teacher’s Convention. During the third week in March a Band Dance was held in the Gym and a good crowd attended. On April 5 the An- nual Concert was held in the Auditorium, receipts being used in the Music Department. The Sectional contest for the State Contest was held at Springfield on April 13. The band took first which entitled them to enter the State contest held at the University of Illi- nois, April 25 and 26. The following soloists also placed at the Sectional: Bob Little, Matt Wilson, Don Mitchell, Glen Fulk, Alvin Etler, James Smith, Van Dusen Kennedy. In the State Contest, which was held at the University on April 25 and 26, Urbana had exceptionally good luck. The The band placed second, which gave them the privilege of entering the National Contest held at Denver, Colorado, on May 23 and 24. Glen Fulk and Don Mitchell stepped to the front in the clarinet section of the State Finals, and won first and second place respectively, which entitled them to enter the National Contest.

THE ORCHESTRA This year the orchestra has grown both in numbers and in the types of musi- cal composition which they are attempting to play. The orchestra lias been greatly honored in having several of its members selected to be in the first Illinois All-State or- chestra. There were more members from the orchestra at J I'rbana High School in the All-State orchestra than from any other Illinois city. Those who played in the State orchestra ZZ. were: Helen Stanton, ‘cello; Virginia Church, violin; Bill Scovill, French horn; Glen Fulk, clarinet; Alvin Ktler, oboe g..C and English horn; Harold Tenhaefl’. bass; Patricia Busev, ✓ t flute; Caroline Ilarriman, violin; Van Duesan Kennedy, bas- soon. Four of the musicians in the orchestra have also been r accepted for the National High School Orchestra camp. They are Alvin Ktler. oboe: Patricia Busev, flute; Bill Scovill. Cabuw veach, French horn; and Helen Stanton, ‘cello. The annual concert was presented by the orchestra in the early part of May, with the director, Mr. George Wain, conducting.

Our Hundred Twenty-flee GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The (Jills’ Glee Club organized this year with the following senior officers elected: President_____________ Helen Spoonamore Vice-President_________________Ur ha Cole Sec. and Treas____________________Lucille Mills There was very little said about the Glee Club this year because we worked to a great extent on numbers without piano accompaniment. This took time and explains why we did not have time for more public performances. We gave special programs at the Rotary Club, the St. James Methodist Church at Danville, and on May 5 we gave a concert in the Music Hall at the University. On May 4 we journeyed to Peoria to compete in the Big Twelve Contest. There were also two soloists entered; Virginia Gill, alto; and Louise Dalyrimple, soprano. Among some of the most difficult numbers sung at the various concerts there were: “Hospodi Pomiule,” “Now Let Every Tongue Adore Thee.” “Would God I Were a Tender Apple Blossom,” “The Heaven’s Are Telling,” and “Olav Trygvason.” The Big Twelve and the concert at the University concluded the perform- ances that were made by the Glee Club for the year 1928-29.

BOVS’ GLEE CLUB The Hoys’ Glee Club is composed of about thirty members. These are chosen bv a system of “try-outs” from the chorus. The Glee Club rehearses every morning during class period, but very seldom outside of school hours. Last fall the Boys’ Glee Club elected the following officers: J .

There were solo entries made at the meet in Decatur, but neither of them placed. Don Mitchell sang a bass solo at this meet while Don A 'reiJnuY' Smith gave a bass solo and Vernon Goodart a tenor solo at ihe Big Twelve Meet at Peoria. Beside the enjoyment derived from these appearance in public, the boys feel thy have received excellent training and an appreciation for good music under the able leadership of Max Krone.

There is an advisory council that consists of two officers from tlie band, girls’ chorus, boys’ chorus, and the orchestra. The duties of this council are to amend the club constitution and talk over the progress of the club. The mem- bers of the council are: Ben Maxwell, William Schlatter, Helen Spoonamore, Urba Cole, Lucille .Mills, Virginia Gill, Carlos Veach. Bob Little, and Don Mitchell. The Club got its name, Orpheus, from old Greek myth- ology. It seems that Orpheus was the god of music and played a harp. The officers of the club are: President--------------------------Bob Little Vice-President__________________Don Mitchell Secretary-Treasurer-------------Lucille Mills There are fourteen charter members of this club. They are: Bob Little, Dan Christopher, Helen Spoonamore, Urba Cole, Virginia Gill, Carolyn Harriman, Bill Sloan, Glen Fulk, Ben Maxwell, James E. Smith, Keith Horton.

Today, music has come to lie of great importance in educational institutions, ail over the country. Urbana High, not to be outdone in any phase of development, has furthered musical education to a high degree. There are classes in chorus, band, orchestra, and music appreciation, which offer the student a wide choice in which to make his specialty if he has any in- terest in music at all. Urbana High has always been noted for her commendable performances in the field of music. Her band has received recognition, as have her glee clubs and or- chestra. Each of these musical organizations has afforded various groups in the community many happy hours, and have rendered many memorable programs. The students of Urbana High and the citizens of the community are proud of Max krone. Urbana s musical organizations and activities, and point to u 'c them with a sense of justifiable pride. However, though Ur liana’s progress in music has been due in a large degree to the earnest efforts of the students, it would not be fitting to give no credit to the instructors of the music department. To Miss Hirkett. director of the (liris’ (’horns and to Mr. Wain, director of the orchestra, we express our gratitude, in all that they have done for us. To Mr. Krone, who has been head of the music department for the past two years, we owe an inexpressible amount of gratitude. lie has worked un- ceasingly for Urbana High and has put her interests always first in his mind. DRAMA “The Ploy's The Thing” This adage would appear to the casual observer to be the policy of Urbana High School. Certainly, dramatics has been an outstanding feature of Urbana High life. During the past scholastic year, the dramatics de- partment of Urbana High School has placed before the public four fine productions, and has aided materially in the pro- duction of two others. These include “A Prince There Was.” “Janice Meredith,” “Second Childhood,......Fhe Poor Nut, and one in which the dramatics department aided in produc- tion, “Mikado.” Urbana High has been noted for the fine clean type of plays which she has produced, and for the manner in which she has produced them. Often, with a cast which boasts no talent, yet always working with a vigor and determination which produces satisfactory and worthwhile results. During the course of training these actors and actresses, real talent has been uncovered, and some of our students may go far in the dramatics world. In dramatics, as in every other Urbana High activity, while there may be present no brilliant ability, there is present that basic factor of all achievement, the desire to accomplish, willingness to work and sacrifice to attain a noteworthy end. To the person who has fostered dramatics in our high school. Mrs. Ethel Hamilton, we owe a great deal of appreciation. Mrs. Hamii.ton, I train a Our Hundred Twenty-nine A PRINCE THERE WAS The three-act drama “A Prince There Was ’ was presented by the mem- bers of the fifth hour dramatic class November 8 and 9, 1929. The plot centered about a young man who had allowed himself to fall into a state of degradation upon the death of his wife and only child. Secluding himself from his friends, he is finally discovered by an old pal, .lack Caruthers, taken by Donald Webster, editor of a current magazine. Car- ruthers finally induced Martin, our hero, taken by Vernon Goodart, to start life over again, accepting a position on his editorial staff. Martin agrees to accept the position in order to invest part of his wealth in the failing magazine to bring it back to former prosperity. Martin removes to a Mrs. Prouty’s Boarding House to start from the bottom. There he meets the heroine, Catherine Weber, sup- posedly a poor working girl but in reality a famous young authoress. The cir- cumstances which brings them together makes a delightfully human and enter- taining story. Comfort, the part of a four year old child, was admirably charac- terized by little Dotty Reiman. Her interest and cooperation with the remainder of the east was one of the outstanding traits of the play. The part of an arro- gant young know-it-all was handled well by Stanley Ilenwood. Donald Webster was the ideal professional man of business. Other prominent characters of the play were: Bland, Martin's valet taken by Roscoe Buckles; Mrs. Prouty, by Ger- trude Reiman; Gladys, Wintress Watson; Cricket, by Elmo Cox; Miss Vincent, by Margaret McCabe. The scenes were laid in Martin's apartment, The Prouty Boarding House, and Carruther’s office respectively. Each and every part of the play was well characterized and the entire play may be said to have been a thorough success under the able direction of Mrs. Hamilton. This is the first time a juvenile actress has appeared upon our stage, and the result was an immense success. i'n� :—Bruy. Stanton, ’ox. McCabe, Webber, McKay, Klemau, Dnlryinplc, Weber.

Qm Uuudnd thirty THE MIKADO According to the story, the Mikado lias passed a law making flirting a criminal offense, the punishment for which is death. Ko-Ko, a tailor is ap- pointed Chief Executioner of Titipu. Ko-Ko has three lovely wards, Ynm- Yum, Peep-Bo, and Pitti-Sing. Nanki-Poo, the son of the Mikado, who is wan- dering about the land in the guise of a strolling minstrel, rather than marry Katisha, the lady with a beautiful left heel, meets Yum-Yum and falls in love with her. Ko-Ko is in an unusual predicament. He must behead someone with- in a month or lose his own head. Nanki-Poo agrees to allow Ko-Ko to execute him in a month, if lie may mary Yum-Yum. When the day for Nanki-Poo’s decapitation arrives, Ko-Ko is too tender-hearted to kill him. When the Mikado finds out that it was his son. he threatens to have the luckless Ko-Ko and the two witnesses boiled in oil. The play ends beautifully, however, for Katisha falls in love with Ko-Ko, thus relieving Nanki-Poo of the responsibility of marrying her. Nanki-Poo and his bride return, and as the Mikado finds his son is still alive, he does not punish the trio. James Waite, in the role of Ko-Ko, deserves much praise. Vernon Goodart, as tin almond-eyed hero, Don Smith, as the big blustering Mikado, and Don Mitchell, as the Lord-lIigh-Everything of Titipu also merited special mention. The remainder of the characters were as follows: Yum-Yum. Louise Dnlrymple; Peep-Bo, Lorene Pierce; Pitti-Sing. Louise Kyman; Katisha. Mary Webber; Pish Tush, Harold TenhaefT. The Boy’s and Girl’s Glee Clubs constituted the chorus. The scene was laid in the garden of Ko-Ko's home at Titipu and the stage was very pretty, with the quaint title bridge and the gay, colorful hanging blos- soms. Much of the success is due to the efforts of Mr. Krone and Miss Anna Mae Birkett. musical directors, Mrs. Ethel Hamilton, dramatic coach, and Mr. Wain, who was in charge of the orchestra. JANICE MEREDITH As a culmination of hours of dramatic training, hours of striving to present to the townspeople a slice of real life in young America, the fourth hour drama- tic class presented ‘‘Janice Meredith.’’ The background for the play was the beautifully landscaped lawn lending the ideal touch to the stately colonial home of the Meredith family. Twas here that Miss Janice kept court with all the eligible young men of the vicinity, and well did Eugenia Freeman portray the character of this young maid. A born coquette, girlish, charming, winsome, part Eugenia, part Janice, the entire audience fell under the spell of her witchery. Then there was the dashing hero. Gaillord Knappenberger, good-looking, aggres- sive, a rebel, but in love with Janice which excuses everything, and never did a hero stage such an exciting sword duel as did Gaillord with the crafty villain, Dick IIotTman. Squire Meredith, the stern, unyielding father, was susceptible to his daughter’s invieglements only, and the part was admirably carried out by Dick Hagan. And then there was Philemon. John Carson was another person well suited to the part given him. As Squire Hennion, the prying, caustic neighbor of the Meredith', and father of Philemon, who was engaged in the pursuit of Miss Janice, he was unexcelled. Oh, yes, Tabby. Miss Tabitha Drink water to be exact. She was none other than our own Irene Ohemke. Tabby was the means of doing all the acts planned by the naughty Janice. Other famous characters in the play were Bob Harmison, a superb “Germanese,” Betty Evans, Blaine Barger, Junior Bryant. Claude Jarret, and last but not least, Sukev, the colored maid, taken by Betty Cooper. Although the production was our first costume play it was a huge success. The play coached by Mrs. Hamilton was symbolic of her efforts and personality which have made the success of all our productions. She was ably assisted by Helen Johnson and Virginia Church. niMt—Hurd. V«'4i! Hamilton. Frwman. Bncklott, Bovlx, Flshor. .Inrrott, Da indy. Knnpiionborgcr. Frid- man, Knrinlfton, Oi'hinkr, Bryant.

It was an exceedingly funny comedy, dealing with Professor Relyea and his mar- velous discovery. The play opens like an old time melodrama, with the mortgage due on the old home, and a wealthy villain (in the person of the aged General Burbeck) willing to marry the heroine. But the heroine has no intention of marrying the General, for she loves Phil Stanton, her father’s assistant. In their laboratory, the Professor and Phil have concocted a triumph in the scientific world, the elixir of youth. They have experimented with dogs and rabbits but they want to try it on a human. They offer to make the General as young as Sylvia for ten thousand dollars. They leave the Professor and the elixir alone for a few minutes, and when they return, the bottle is empty and there is an infant in the General’s place. Top Kmc—W. Iluiran. Vonle, ltayinT.

John, so the story runs, sees a picture of Julia Winters, winner of the beauty contest at the University of Wisconsin, and greatly admires her. He writes her letters in which he portrays himself as a dashing hero as well as a big man about college. He is, according to his letters, a member of the Psi Sigma fraternity and quite a famous track star. The truth is, that he is only a mediocre track man, and has quit the squad a week or so before the beginning of the play because he con- siders himself a failure. And then -Julia arrives on the Ohio State campus with the rest of the Wisconsin rooters who have come to attend the dual track meet. She meets John at the bookstore of Colonel Small, where he is employed, and is quite disappointed as well as disgusted with her discovery. Julia is an honor student in psychology ami is greatly interested in the subject. She feels that John has an inferiority complex and decides to help him overcome it by analyzing him. She thinks that he would really be a track star if he only had more confidence in himself. She contends that his letters show that he wishes to be a track star and if he were only sure of himself, he would be one. John must tell her all his thoughts and all the dreams he has ever had. John dis- tresses her by saying he has dreamed about noodle soup. She even promises to marry him if he wins the big race, despite the fact that she is engaged to Spike Hoyt, the Wisconsin track hero. On the day of the meet, the crowds are gathered about, cheering for their favorites. John’s team-mate in the relay comes in with a lead. John takes the baton and drops it. Of course, he re- covers the lead in time to win the race for Ohio State. Julia, in the confusion at the end of the race, believes that Spike won and rims to him, while Marjorie goes to congratulate John. John becomes the hero of the day and is invited to join the Psi Sigs, and wins Marjorie. The play was an unusually clever one, and the lines were uproariously funny. The staging was excellent, although this was a hard play to stage, espe- cially the race scene. The whole cast was exceptionally good and the “Poor Nut” will go down in history as one of Urbana High’s best plays. One llinidr'd Thirty-four JUNIOR ORPH The Junior Orph, an annual event staged by the Junior Class to raise money for the Junior-Senior reception, was presented February 22. The Orph consisted of sixteen individual stunts, planned and executed by the students. The production was staged before one of the largest audiences of the season. The cast was as follows: Bob Harmison’s orchestra; the Junior Chorus composed of Onnolee McDougal, Marietta Thornburgh, Evelyn Sehuck, Madeline Cord, Dorothy Broadstreet, Louise Eyeman, Irene Oehmke, and Catherine Weber pre- sented a song and dance act; “Coarse Girruls” composed of Bill Rayner, Marian Cooper. Gordon Evans, Carleton Russell. Burt Greaves, Richard Darrel, and Edward LanghofT; Romeo and Juliet, by Fern Burton; Musical Moments, by Vernon Goodart and Chet Ijogan; The Pierce Sisters, Oretha and Lorene; Dance, Doris Meneely; Tumblers, Dwayne Wood and Wesley Hurd; Tap Dance, Cletis Connoy and Marjorie Foor; Dance, Oretha Pierce; and many other entertaining acts. Music was furnished by John Carson, Maxine Smith, and Kathryn Lcut- wiler. The whole show was voted a grand success, from the modernistic back- ground, produced by John Davis, to the dainty boy's ballet. The Orph was sponsored by Miss Doyle, Miss Rhodes, and Miss Biederman, in connection with the committee of Doris Meneely, chairman, Fern Burton. Bill Rayner, and Chester Logan. The proceeds were used to entertain the Seniors. THE STYLE SHOW The last word in sport dresses, school dresses, coats, and evening gowns, as well as the latest wearing apparel for men, were shown at the Fall Style Show, sponsored by the Rosemary stall , on October 19. The merchants of Urbana who aided with the affair wore Worthen-Wauehope, Harvey Brothers, Harry A. Little, Lowenstern and Son, Grimes and Sholem. Urbana High School students acted as models. During the evening, a number of features were presented. Bob Harmison and his orchestra presented a program of popular music. Doris Meneely enter- tained with an Irish tap-dance; Lorene and Oretha Pierce gave a program of songs, classical and popular, and a Spanish dance; Nita Jane Lanham and On- nolee McDougall gave a tango, while Chet Logan and Vernon Goodart sang a number of popular songs. Burt Greaves and Dick Derrough served as pages. At the Grand Finale, John Davis, editor of the Rosemary, crowned the win- ners of the popularity contest and presented them with the awards, furnished by the Worthen-Wauehope store. NEW BROOMS On April the nineteenth, the Better Players Association of Chicago brought to Urbana High a play entitled “New Brooms,’’ composed of an all star cast. This was a four-act play, of a different type than most of those produced at Ur- bana High. It had a very evident moral. The story centers around a college student who thought he knew more than his Dad. Consequently, his father turns his business over to him, to manage for a year. Tom, the son, after many trials during the year, learns that .just cheerfulness, by itself, without ability, can never succeed in the business world. The play was brought here through the efforts of the Art Club, lota Alpha Gamma, and credit is due them for their part in its success. One Hundred Thirty- !VC PUBLIC SPEAKING “His Speech Was Like A Tangled Chain; Nothing Impaired. But Alt Disordered. Public speaking is another of the fine arts which Urbana has attempted to perfect. There are two public speaking classes, with an enrollment of about fifty. These classes learn first all the essentials of public speaking, and then they practice them, until they become quite proficient at them. The classes organize into clubs, presenting programs each Friday in class, with the presiding officers elected from the class. These club meetings are formal and from them students learn practical things which will aid them in every-day life. Public speaking is a thing of vast importance and Iwnefit to every indi- vidual. and the hoy or girl who goes through high school without enrolling in some type of public speaking course is neglecting an important phase of his education. This year the following people are to represent us at the Big Twelve meet at Peoria: James Waite_________________________ Interpretive Heading Richard Hagan______________________Extemporaneous Speaking Frances Walker____________________________Dramatic Reading Blaine Barger-------------------------------------- Oratory Our entrants in Big Twelve contests have always placed, and we expect them to repeat it this year. We know we shall not be disappointed and in the future, we know the standard of Urbana High shall ever be carried on by the public speaking departments. DEBATE “Dehaling Is An Art” The truth of this statement is undeniable. True debating is an art. which some of the students of Urbana High have attempted to perfect themselves in. Nor have they fallen short of their goal. Success comes as a result of endeavor. Besides class ami varsity debate teams, a course in debate is offered, under the tutelage of Mrs. Hamilton. This course has resulted in the finding of many able debaters, and the development of many talented ones. Debate is a thing of value in every phase of life whether it la in a home, or out in the business world. Logical reasoning and coherent argument is an asset to any individual. Urbana High has been successful in debates both in the school and in com- petition with other schools. Her sportsmanship here is as fair and honorable as it is in all other phases of Urbana High life. To the faculty advisers for the class teams and to Miss Lair, Varsity debate coach, we owe an inestimable amount of gratitude. Urbana High’s activities grow with her advancement, and hence we look forward to her progress in debate in the future. One Hundred Thirty-six Toji Itoic—llnirau. Ilnii'tarhln, I.alr. McCiUm . Karr.

The Affirmative Team is composed of Floyd Kerr, Margaret Handsel)in, and Richard Hagan, with Eugenia Freemon as alternate for the first semester, but with Margaret Ohnstead as alternate for the second semester. The Negative Team is composed of Fern Burton, .Julius Kimpel, and Margaret McCabe, with Luther Mosher as alternate. The Affirmative Team traveled to Danville and Decatur this year. Our first debate, a triangular affair, was tied with Decatur, and as each school’s affirma- tive team lost, grades were taken, thus causing a tie. Deciding to use our greatest strength against Decatur, in an effort to win, we arranged an affirmative team of Fern Burton, Margaret McCabe, and Richard Hagan. This combination worked hard and should be given much credit, although they could not defeat Decatur. No affirmative team anywhere lias thus far won on the League question: “Resolved: that the Federal Government should own and control its water power;” hence if is to be supposed that the affirmative side of the question is weak. The debate teams worked hard and received no support or backing and little recognition, yet they carried on the standard of Urbana High admirably. A great deal of credit is due to Miss Lorene Lair, our coach, who gave us confidence and aided us in every way that was materially possible. Miss Lair came to us new, this year, and she has very creditably filled her position as de- bate coach. Credit is also due Mrs. Hamilton, for the time she gave to the teams, coaching their delivery. In debate, as in all other activities, Urbana stands out as a worthy opponent; Urbana s debate teams have come to command respect of their opponents, and a pride of their followers. Otic Hundred Thlrty-tcven CLASS DEBATE Class debate lias always been a thing of interest to some of the Urbana High School students. Each year there are two and sometimes three debates. The Freshman Team this year was composed of Marie Hogans, Alice Rice, and Gretchcn McGowan, with Betty Thomas, Ruth Mosher and Betty Rowland as alternates. The Sophomore Team included Floyd Kerr, Eugenia Freemen, and Margaret Olmstead, with an alernate team of Mary Hitcher, Elizabeth Bils- borrow, and John Bourgois. The Freshman-Sophomore debate was held on November 3, the question being: “Resolved: that the community chest method of soliciting funds is better than the individual agency.” The Sophomores upheld the affirmative while the Freshman defended the negative. The Sophomores won, 3 to 0. thus winning the right to meet the winner of the Junior-Senior debate. The members of the Senior Team were, Dick Hagan, Sally Murphy, and Carlos Vearh. with Edith Mullis as alternate. The Juniors who made the team were Luther Mosher, Fern Burton, and Lorene Bierce, with Julius Kimpel as alternate. The debate was held November 8, and the question was: “Resolved: that the U. S. should adhere to the Monroe Doctrine in all its foreign relations.” The Seniors won 2 to 1, thus gaining the honor of debating the victorious Sophomores. Class debate is good preparaion for Varsity debating, besides being beneficial to the individuals themselves. It is a fine thing for Urbana High School and we hope that it will continue in the future as it has in the past.

THE URBAN KNIGHT First Place Story, Seniors The tournament field of Kin Arthur's court was crowded with excited people, all awaiting the most important event of this most important of tourna- ment days. It was a tradition in the court of King Arthur and in the neighboring court of Rondell that on every tournament day the youngest knights of each court were to be engaged in a fierce duel. For fifteen successive tournament days the same two knights had waged this traditional duel, and for fifteen successive tournament days the knight from the neighboring court had gone home victorious while the young knight of King Arthur’s court rode humbly off the field, his gallant head bowed with shame but in his mind a firm resolve that it would be the last time he should leave the field defeated. Suddenly, a cheer arose from the crowd and all eyes were eagerly watching the entrance into the field of the knight from the court of Kondell. lie rode arrogantly onto the battleground and his armor of white painted steel glittered glaringly in the bright sun as he circled twice around the tournament field on his prancing white horse. The knight and his horse? were both completely clad in white except for the maroon-colored trimmings on the harness of his horse and a maroon-colored plume which tossed scornfully from the white hel- met of the knight. Riding quietly onto the field came the voting knight from King Arthur’s court. In striking contrast to the other knight, this one was clad completely in black and rode on a shining black horse which was harnessed in orange leather. With only a wave to the cheering crowds on the side, this young knight began his final preparations for this dual which he was determined to win, for he was fighting not only to become victorious over his proud opponent, but also to win the hand of Lady Rosemary, the fairest maiden in all of King Arthur's court. Silence suddenly fell on the throng because the two knights had ridden together and crossed lances—The duel was on. It was an exciting, intense, in- teresting duel with both of the knights evenly matched in their strength and skill. The White Knight, however, had confidence in himself while the Knight in Black was filled with a great determination to win. It was impossible to prophesy the outcome of this tilt. Many times it seemed that the Black Knight would he defeated, but every time his fierce determination helped him to rally. Then with one great final drive he rushed down upon the knight in white and made such a surprising and terrible onslaught that he successfully defeated his surprised enemy. Surprised, humbled, defeated, and angry the Knight of Champagne rode hurriedly off the field and back to his own court, while the Urban Knight, vic- torious in both love and war, radiantly happy, proud and smiling rode away followed by the rousing cheers of his faithful followers and friends. Going into the castle, his eyes fell on his shield which, along with those of the twelve other Knights of the Round Table, was hanging in the main hall of the castle. Taking his lance from its sheath, lie placed it behind his shield resolving to place several more beside it before very long. The Urban Knight's shield was easily dis- tinguished from those of the other twelve knights because it hung at the far end of the castle occupying the place of honor. Emblazoned upon his shield was a large “I ’ which stood for his name. Urban Knight, and just below this “U” 0nr Hundred h'urty-thrcr. were (lie letters “II and “S”, each one standing for the standards which Urban Knight so ably fulfilled at all times. Honor and Sportsmanship. Inspired by his victory and award, and exceedingly happy because of his recent marriage to Lady Rosemary, the Urban Knight succeeded in placing another lance and spear behind his shield. Each one of these represented an important victory over the Knight of Champagne. Finally, wearied from repeated defeats and very angry the Knight of Champagne challenged the Urban Knight to a duel in which death was to be the goal. The Urban Knight accepted the challenge, and the next duel was to be their final one. This duel was a grim and exciting one, but the standards of Honor and Sportsmanship proved victorious once again, and the Knight of Champagne had been defeated forever. It was not altogether a successful victory for the Urban Knight, however, for he was fatally wounded. For several weeks he lay fighting for his life and always by his side was Lady Rosemary. Rumors of tin discovery of a new world called America had reached the court of King Arthur and the ears of the Urban Knight. He was exceedingly interested in this new world and longed to get well so that he might be given the chance to journey in and explore this new country. He was never given this opportunity; all of his determination and fighting spirit was not enough to win this last duel for him. While the hero of King Arthur's court who was loved and respected by everyone, lay dying he expressed a wish that since he could not see America that some court in this new country which stood for his standards—Honor and Sportsmanship—might be named for him and that Rosemary might be the name of the fairest maiden in this court. The Urban Knight’s wishes were carried out, and as you enter the audi- torium of the high school of a small city in America the first thing that meets your eyes is a shield, which is an exact duplicate of the one which belonged to the Urban Knight. Because two of its standards were the same as those of the Urban Knight Honor and Sportsmanship—Urbana High School was chosen to fulfill the wishes of the worthy Urban Knight. But it was impossible to dis- tinquish which maiden in Urbana High was the fairest, and so it was decided that a book which would represent them all should be published, and it should be called Rosemary. Helene Still ’29 ULCERATING UNGUEN LINK First Place Essay, Seniors Have you ever smeared Vick’s Vaporub on your chest, around your nose, and back of your ears? Whether this practical operation lies within your log of experiences or not, it is sufficient to say that it is excruciating torment at the least. It penetrates the skin, stings the flesh, and riles the feelings. With its Sampsonian strength it does all but brush the teeth, comb the hair, cure hair- lip, salvage flat feet, and shed water like a chautauqua tent. Konjola, that, remarkable fluid, whose resuscitative qualities are widely flaunted before tin public eye, can not produce a more arousing effect than that created in the mind of a candid person by insincere or naive flattery. It’s true that most people like to have their bouquets while life still exists, but there are few. unless we count those who for the satisfaction of personal vanity crave it, that will take to heart fawning praise. That’s one act, one attribute, which can never be attributed to the cynic. Any one likes to drink from the cup of com- Onc IIuiid red Forty-four mendation, to receive his need of praise for a work well done, but only after that indomitable master, the conscience, has given its approval, verifying the record of accomplishment as laudable. Have you even been tapped on the shoulder only on turning to look into a face stamped with a Cheshire grin and purring, “Nize hoy, Willie”? It's a lot of dramatic, ironic rot prompted by motives of playing the game, follow-1 lie-leader, of a distorted sense of popularity, and of jealousy to the point of sarcasm. It’s an insult and an outrage at the hands of a hypocrite who knows you have fallen short of your goal and who is unwilling to credit your efforts. If you have a sensitive nature, it'll receive a massage rougher than any Dutch rub you might have had exacted physically upon your head. Flattery isn't the only combination of verbs, nouns, and adjectives that gets under the skin. There are those people who are always dropping phrases politely antagonistic. Cautious ostracism is the only sure means of riddance. A stony countenance and a glassy eye usually suffice to congeal this type of pimps. Happiness isn’t gained by smuggling in a coat of salve. Satisfaction is found in “Well done thus good and faithful servant.” Richard IIagan ’29 MORNING First Place Poem, Seniors I 'in up with the cock It's four by the clock. The morn is still misty and blue, I wander away O’er the fields of gray To the hill wrapped in morning dew. I soon reach the top But to stare and stop At the beauty before my eyes— The rose and blue And violet, too Make brilliant this morning's sunrise. I look all around; I hear scarce a sound But the cock crow far away. With a high, shrill note His swelling throat Heralds the dawn of day. By the river’s brink The flocks all drink ; In the meadow the buttercup sleeps; The violet, too With eyes of blue From out of her hiding place peeps. Owe Hundred Forty-five But now—Ah, hark! ’Tis the meadow lark That I hear through the morning hush And yet once more When her song is o’er I list to the note of the thrush. I love them all— The birds’ clear call, The flowers that sway in the breeze, The sunrise at dawn. The brook that glides on To the ocean—How wondrous arc these! Lucile Miixs '29 THE VILLAGE DOCTOR First Place Story, Juniors The little village of Cottage Grove lay in the silver midnight with its white roofs a gigantic cluster of moon-flowers. There was no sound except the rustling of the leaves as they were stirred into motion by the warm night wind. Just as the moon was setting against the rimming hills the silence was shat- tered by the sound of a motor—an ancient and decrepit motor. At first the noise was only audible as a faint whir against the skyline, like some night- prowling humble-bee. Then it grew louder and louder until with a crash and a bang it drew up on the main street before a small and very dingy brick building. Soon came a man’s voice: “Well, so long. Doc—What did you say your name was? Oh ves—Doc Daniels. Good luck. I hope everyone hereabout gets sick, so’s you kin cure ’em—that is, everyone but me. I’ve got an apple orchard.” The voice merged into laughter; then the laughter blended into the sound of the venerable flivver laboriously beginning its journey away. The man who was left on the sidewalk set down his bags and surveyed his surroundings. On his side of the wide dirt street was a row of brick buildings. “Davis and Son. Hardware.” A feed store—a drug store—“Groceries.” We Pay Cash for Eggs.” Next door to the dingy building was a store which bore the sign “Merchandise ' On the other side of the dingy building hung a largi- and uninviting placard, “Eat.” Next came the harness shop, and closely crowd- ing it, a garage, with the sprawling legend “Ford” on its grimy front. Across the street was a Square of grass with a band-stand in the center. The man who was left picked up his bags, then set them down again to search for his key. lie unlocked the door to the dingy building and looked inside. A musty odor pervaded the place; he groped for a switch and turned on the light. A bare hungry room met his eye and looked him down. He swept the corners with a glance for the rolled-topped desk, tin two rockers, and the thread-bare easy chair. Then he strode past a clinical white closet and into the back room. A bed, two chairs, and a book-shelf—that was the complete inventory except for tin huge chest of drawers topped by a massive mirror, lie walked over to the glass and surveyed his own image, lie saw a tall spare man with a lean, gaunt face. It was a brown face, lined with thought. His hair was getting grey over his temples, and his thin lips curled as he saw how blue and clear were the whites of his eyes. Not even the worry of the last months had ruined his 0«� • JIunHrrd Forty-ftix constitution. 11«� scorned himself for it. Only the dull shadows beneath his grey eyes betrayed him. lie walked to the window and threw it open prepara- tory to going to bed. Just as well get used to being buried alive. The little village tolerated, but did not accept him. He was too different. Their ‘ bucolic pastimes and rural narrow-mindedness went against his grain. He was with them, but not of them. Gradually, however, as weeks blended into months and he was still with them, taciturn and self-sufficient, he became a fix- ture in the village, a sort of oddity, and yet, well liked by the minister and such, so that he must have been not too bad. When .Mis’ Walker set her bonnet for him. the elderly bachelors of the village watched with a gleeful anticipation of “doings. She used to ask him to her regular Sunday dinner, along with Mr. Wvcoff, the druggist, and old man MacKenzie. Sometimes he would come, and sometimes he wouldn't. Usually, he wouldn't. At last through his very indifference the invitations became less urgent, and at last stopped coming al- together. The village settled down in disappointment. He had been there for two years when the war broke out in Europe. From that time he took four papers; Omaha, Ularinda. New York, and the local Cur- rent Press. He became suddenly older, and he seemed very tired. His whole form seemed quivering with nerves except for his white, long, delicate sur- geon’s hands that were as steady as Hill Stafford’s, the local butcher’s. The men outside the store labeled “Groceries; We pay cash for Eggs”; asked him one day why it was that the war was so all-important to him, for it was self evi- dent what it was had put him on edge. He had answered in a low strange tone that was not like him, “Boys, this country is next. When it comes I don't know what I ’ll do.’’ His voice trailed away into a gasp. His tones had an unaccustomed accent. He had lost the little edge in his pronunciation since he had been so long among them, but now it was coming back. The minister said it was English. Then it came. War was declared, and with it came the far-away look in the doctor’s eyes. “Why don’t you enlist?” asked the old men who were left outside the store, sitting lonely on the deserted cracker-boxes. “They won’t have me.” The doctor answered them often these days. “Won’t have you?” For answer the doctor brushed back his hair and showed in the side of his head a glistening plate, as large as a silver dollar. “Besides,” he added, “I am an alien.” The old men who were sitting on, the cracker boxes resolved to talk it over with the minister. And so the war was drawing to a close. In the last year of conflict came the worst battle of all; the war against the flu. The doctor fought like a man who is saved from madness only by a welcomed relief from idleness. Over a large area In was the only doctor, and outside that area the other practicing physicians would come to him as their recognized leader, for advice. The leading experts in the territory surrounding Omaha were to meet there to hold a council of war against the enemy. The doctor did not go and when he was wired for he sent back this message: “You don't need my help. I won’t have yours.” The council shrugged its shoulders in unison and resumed its work. About him, sometimes the other doctors would get the malady and he would annex their territory. Only the doctor himself would never get ill. One day the old men asked him if he wasn’t afraid he would get it, in his hourly associations with it. u nlin'd Fort ii-mcven “1 don't pet it, or anything rise, said the doctor, and the village rung with the news that he took drugs. The men came back, and the war was over. The haunted look did not vanish, however, From the doctor’s eyes. He was getting old, and he was very lonely. He is older, now, as he still, ten years later, makes his rounds. lie is no longer gaunt and straight, but is shrivvled, with great hags of white under his suliken eyes. He is alive, and buried. Dead, but not yet interred. And he is the eternal and everlasting mystery of Cottage Grove, which knows no more than this, and may never know more. Helen Stanton '30 THE ROAD First Place Poem, Juniors Winding through the forest green, A well worn country road is seen, Yet nothing of this road betrays The story of its yesterdays. It led at first to a watering hole, Along which path the panther stole. Or elk and deer with silent tread, Followed fast to where it led. Then came the white man with his load, Who widened it into a road, And where two tracks showed very clear The path of our first pioneer. When traffic grew to some extent Many a willing hand was lent To fell the trees on either side To make this road then doubly wide. After many a year of toil had passed The road was finished and paved at last. And thus we follow in our year The path once laid out by the deer. No bridges were there in that day To ease the traveller on his way, Forded streams were what was found, By pioneers then westward bound. Great bridges now the rivers span, As monuments to the work of man. Yet let us think as on we go, Of days ere ways were fashioned so.

Helen Johnson ’30 THE FIRST MIRACLE First Place Story, Sophomores lie was a little, thin dog, wandering about the littered streets of a small vil- lage many miles east of Bethlehem. lie was hungry and homeless, and one of his legs was bruised badly by a stone thrown by a cruel boy. He limped pain- fully on three legs as he searched for a bit of food among the heaps of refuse which the other dogs had pawed over. His long ears, once silky and beautiful, were now ragged and matted with burrs, as was the rest of his rough coat. His one redeeming feature was his larage, brown sorrowful eyes. After a while he crept into an alley and lay down, weary and sore and lonesome. He shut his sad eyes and slept. When he awoke it was night, but a strange and beautiful star shedding its light over the country from its position in the west. It stood still in the sky over the town of Bethlehem, but the little dog did not know about Bethlehem. He looked at the bright star, however, and felt an impulse to go towards it. Scrambling to his feet he dragged his lame leg behind him as he started to- ward the light in the sky. On and on he went through the dark and the dust. He thought he could go no farther and was about to lie down to rest when he saw three richly dressed men refreshing themselves at a roadside well. They were evidently on a journey, as they were dusty and travel-worn, and their camels, laden as if for a long trip, seemed tired. The little puppy kept in the shadows made by the camels, as he feared strange men. When they had finished drinking the men straightened up. then one spread a sort of blanket on the ground. The other two sat down with him on this blanket to rest before resuming their journey. One of the men spoke: “Far have I traveled, for there has been proclaimed the birth of a Savior tonight and the star has led me here.” “I, too, have followed the strange star,” spoke another of the three. “Gifts 1 bear for him, for he is to be king and I would gain his friendship.” “I have waited long for the birth of the King, that I might worship him,” said the third, “and tonight the star tells us it has come to pass.” The little dog. seeing that the men were not likely to take any notice of him. limped to the spring and lapped his fill of water. It seemed to him that the men must be going to the place where the star was. for they kept pointing to it and nodding their heads as they talked. In his puppy brain he reasoned that, if he followed them, he would surely get there, too. But he was so tired, and his leg hurt so badly that he longed for rest. From one of the paniers on a kneeling camel's back came a new smell, a pleasant smell, and the little dog investigated, keeping well in the shade of the huge beasts, who paid no attention to him. Finding it easy to clamber into the open basket, he turned around twice and snuggled down for a much needed sleep. Shortly the man who had first spoken rose, saying, “It is late and we have far to travel yet to reach yon star. Let us be on our way. May we not travel One ffuutlrril Fifty together, since chance has brought us to this place at the same time and we all have the same destination? Folding their blankets and mounting the patient camels, they were soon on their way once more, never dreaming that the panier containing frankin- cense was now a nest for a dusty little dog. At length the little caravan reached Bethlehem and the stable, outside of which the three conversed for a time in whispers, wondering whether they should enter at once with their gifts. When the camel had stopped, the little dog awoke, and when the clumsy camel knelt for his rider to dismount the stowaway also slipped out of his fragrant hiding place. How that star had grown while he slept! It was so big and bright and near that it almost frightened the puppy to look at it. And yet it fascinated him strangely. lie was aroused from his star-gazing by the tread of feet, and looked about to see the three men entering the door of the stable over which the star hung. Through the open door he saw them walk hesitatingly toward a manger and lay their gifts down before a smiling baby in the arms of a happy mother. The proud father stood near by. The little dog crept into the stable and stole quietly up behind the manger in which the babe lay. He felt very weary, but happy and not full of fear, somehow. One of the baby’s little hands happened to fall on the tired puppy’s touseled head. His troubles seemed ended, his weariness vanished, and his wounded leg pained him no more. He stood up, stretched himself, and trotted out into the bright night. He did not know that he had played an important part in the first miracle performed by our Savior. Helen Russell ’31 ARE TEACHERS HUMAN? First Place Essay, Sophomores My first day in school I was very certain that teachers were anything but human. As I sat at my tiny desk, awe-stricken, dumb, and feeling very in- significant. I gazed up at the teacher lowering above me and resolved that if this was school 1 was going to quit just as soon as possible. It seemed incred- ible that this creature was of the human race. Her function seemed to be that of a combination jailer and task-mistress—to keep us from playing out-of- doors and to make us do things which were not the least bit interesting. It seemed that she took a keen satisfaction in bossing us around, speaking rather sharply to us on account of nothing at all. and looking daggers at us much oftener than was necessary. Truly she could not be human. She undoubtedly had her origin in the Lower Regions. As 1 passed from grade to grade my opinion did not change rapidly, al- though I did understand a little more of the purpose which lay behind school. I did not abjectly fear mv teachers as I had in the first grade, but 1 cannot truth- fully say that I liked many of them very much. The big change came in Thornburn when we first had more than one teacher in the same year. Up to this time I suppose we just sort of accepted whatever teacher fate thrust upon us, but now we could compare them, talk about them, see why we liked some of them better than others. It was at this stage of my school life that I had my first real ‘'case on a teacher. What a marvel she was! What beautiful hair and eyes! And her voice was divine! I used to invent excuses to call her over the phone just for the One Hundred Fifty-one exquisite pleasure of listening to her voice. How 1 hung around her room after school and hoped that some day I might walk home with her. But it was not to he, as a relative always called for her in his car and carried her away from my adoring gaze. Mow 1 used to walk blocks out of my way just to pass her home, always hoping that I might catch just one glimpse of her. I spent hours inventing thrilling situations in which 1 rescued her from death or misfortune. I suppose I hoped that if something like this would hap- pen she would notice me and realize that 1 was an individual, not merely an ordinary pupil but one who really appreciated her. Probably most school children show these symptoms at some time or other. Many recover their sanity quickly, while some of us seem to be chronic sufferers. Nothing has ever cured me, I know. Blind and unreasoning worship of some one teacher is likely to be suc- ceeded by a more logical and intelligent opinion. In this stage, the pupil begins to appreciate for the first time that teachers are neither devils nor angels, but are very human. With the appreciation of this fact comes a growing wonder that teachers are able to carry on their work at all. When you think of it, it must be a pretty discouraging job to go over the same lesson hour after hour, day after day, month after month, year after year. It would he bad enough if all of us pupils were eager to learn or even mildly interested in the subject. But when we are either absolutely indifferent or apparently determined not to learn, the task is even harder. It seems to indicate a degree of patience that is more than human. I often wonder why a teacher does not go insane when students come to class day after day without their lessons and still expect their teacher to be kind and patient with them. I do not believe many of your mothers would be as patient with you about your duties at home as your teachers are with your school work. Surely teachers are human, very human, if they were not, they could not understand us, could not work with us, could not play with us in our athletics and dramatics and social life, could not feel sorry for us when things go wrong, could not thrill with pleasure at our successes. Yes, a real teacher, worthy of the name and the job, is a human being, and is worthy of our highest respect.

This evergreen tree so lonely Unnoticed when summer is here, Stands out in rarest beauty When all tin rest is drear. We can use this tree for a symbol Of life, everlasting with God, And view it with reverent interest When the woodland path we trod. Dorothy Johnson ,31 A ROMANCE FROM LIFE About twenty-five miles north of Urbana a modern brick country school- house is erected on a spot where fifty years ago a small wooden one stood. In those days people turned to the fireside or the schoolhouse for entertainment, and chief among their delights was the Literary Society meetings. During the winter months the people in a country district would meet every two weeks and hold debates and give speeches and poems of high literary caliber. Sarah Ann Cooper gazed at herself in the dark mirror on the wall. Her dress would be the finest at the literary meeting. Twenty yards, not counting trimmings, with leg-o'-mutton sleeves too! She gave her curls a twitch. She was glad her father had finally permitted her to go to the meeting, even if he did think sixteen was too young. That wasn’t young! Zinah was only seven- teen. and wasn’t she engaged to Joe Pierce? “Sarah, 1 wish I had the nerve to wear leg-o’-mutton sleeves like you,, commented her sister as she came into the room. “But, anyhow Joe don’t like '(‘in. Say. there’s going to be a new fellow at the meet tonight. He’s gonna’ make a speech. Did you know that?” “Yes, Elsie told me. He’s from Kentucky. He works for Mr. Barnes.” Maybe you’ll be making a match—’’her sister stopped short. “What on earth did you do to your face? Why Sarah Ann Cooper, I do believe you’ve put flour on! You’d better not let papa see it.” “Oh, well. 1 guess it don’t hurt. Elsie uses it, and she wets red wall-paper and rubs it on her cheeks too.” “She does! Well, ever since she visited Champaign that time—” “You girls better hurry. Joe’s coinin’ down the road now,” said their father as he appeared in the doorway. Mary put on her veil before passing her father. “Don’t let me hear tell of any hifalutin’ fiirtin’ or you wont go any more,” he admonished. “No, papa,” she said, but she was glad he wasn’t going to be there. She wondered if she would have to make a speech. She thought the drive to the Maywood Center School had never seemed so long, but they soon picked up Elsie and her mother, the Sims boys and their sister. Elsie and Sarah, feeling very conscious of her new dress, found chairs in the crowded room. In front of them Sarah saw a red-haired man of about thirty. “There he is,” Elsie whispered, “the one with red hair. They say lie’s aw- ful swell and don’t like girls much. I think lie’s handsome.” Sarah liked bis looks. She wondered about him all during the debate on “Which is better: city life or country life?” Finally the chairman announced that the next speaker would be Jim Gallagher a “new member from Ken- tucky.” Why he was not a bit embarrassed she thought. He must be used to speaking. “Folks,” the speaker began, “I was asked to write a paper on ‘The Modern Girl’. Here’s what I said: ‘The morals of the Modern Girl are awful. There are some of them who stand primping for an hour before a glass afore goin’ someplace. That ain’t right! Some even put Hour on their faces. And some put red stuff on their cheeks. And then they frizz and curl their hair ’till you wonder what the world is cornin’ to. That ain’t all. The dresses they wear are a sin and a shame! I suppose you-all have seen some of them leg-o’- mutton sleeves. They speak for theirselves. I think something ought to be done about the Modern Girl.” Amid applause In sat down. S One Hundred Fifty-three Sarah felt too stunned and angry to hear the chairman call on her. Elsie pinched her, “They want you to speak now ' she whispered. Sarah started to refuse, and then she remembered a poem she had read. She was glad that she had the habit of memorizing poetry. The poem was about a man who thought he was smart because he had red hair and big feet. She would get even with this smart-aleck from Kentucky. As she spoke, all her nervousness left her and seemed to fall upon the object of her ridicule. Ilis cheeks grew red, but not by artificial means, and lie seemed to shrink in size as he felt the amused glances of the audience. Sarah cast a withering eye upon him as she finished : “And that is the end of the tale Of the man with big feet and red hair. The moral is that affliction or trouble Will always come in a pair. “Sarah, you sure brought down the house tonight, when you gave that poem, Zinali said as they crawled into bed. “1 never could have done it. 1 saw some of the boys takin' notice of you in that new dress, too. And it was so funny, after what the new fellow had .just read. Me and Joe nearly died laughin’. The poor fellow looked like he wanted to have a hole open and swallow him. Why don’t you answer? You ain’t asleep. Are you?” “No-00, I was just wondering, Zinali. Do you suppose papa would let me have company?” Sarah asked doubtfully. “Why, yes, I suppose so, if he liked the fellow. Who was askin’ you? That young Kelly boy?” But Sarah, thinking of something that had happened just as she put on her wraps, was too busy to answer. She had felt a hand on her arm and looked up into the gray eyes of Jim Gallagher. “I just didn’t want vou-all to take that paper I wrote too hard,” he had said haltingly. “You see, I’d never seen you then, and I wasn’t talkin’ about you, and well—I didn’t mean it. I’m right sorry.” “Oh, that's all right,” Sarah had answered, and she gave him her hand. “Do you—could I come and see you sometime?” lie said. Then, Sarah had not had any doubts about yes being the right answer, but now, when she thought of her father, she wondered. During the next few months, Sarah had her doubts changed to reality. The first time Jim came to see her, there was a crowd, and her husband had accepted him. But, as his visits grew more regular, the old man developed a dislike to the fellow. It was his opinion that any one who came from Kentucky could not amount to a “hill of beans.”. Finally he told Sarah that Jim must not call any more. As for Sarah, sin was Haltered by Jim’s attention. Most men of thirty did not go to see a sixteen-vear-old girl. After her father forbade him to come to the house, she began to miss him more than she had thought she could miss any one. “Will Jim be at the box-social tonight?” inquired Zinali, as she, Joe and Sarah started to the school one night. ‘I don’t know,” was Sarah’s answer, but she knew he would be. He was waiting at the door, and they ate their lunch together. Neither was conscious of the frequent glances in their direction. With some misgivings Sarah allowed Jim to take her home in his buggy. Her father met her at the door in a rage, saying that she should never see One Hundred Fifty-four the “worthless Kentucky scalawag” again, and that she would not be allowed out of his sight. After that she and Jim communicated through doe, hut they did not see each other. Perhaps it was accident that Sarah went to help Mrs. Fuller, the same day that dim went to help Mr. Fuller butcher. Sarah herself was not sure. But she knew it was not accident that her eyes were shining like stars when she went home that evening. If her father noticed, he made no mention of it. but told her to hurry if she expected him to take her to the Literary meet that night. She hoped that no one could read her thoughts but of course doe knew what she intended to do. When he father discovered that dim was not among the crowd, lie paid scant attention to her. She took a seat near the back, and when doe tapped her on the shoulder, sin smiled at him, and slipped out. Later, she only vaguely remembered how she reached the hill north of the school, where dim was waiting with two horses. As they rode Sarah continually visualized her father’s wrath, and the pros- pect spurred her on. At midnight they reached the home of one of dim’s friends. The next day they arrived in Danville, where they were married. For many years their lives were little marked by romance, but their elopement furnished topic for gossips at many succeeding literary meeting at the Maywood Center School. Was it Fate that caused the last ripple which marred the smooth course of their lives? For twenty years Sarah kept her sister informed of their happiness, and then, one day a letter came which read: “Zinah, My heart is broken. Mary has eloped with a useless traveling salesman. To think after all her father and I have done for her that she should do a thing like that! I can write no more now. Sarah.” Margaret McCabe ’2!) THE LAST TRIBES Abdul-Mejid had grown old with his tribe. He had seen it develop, it fact had been the motivating power in its development, from a tiny clan to its present state of independence. He had watched other and less wisely guided tribes fall in battle, and the remnants merge with his own Kamirs. or with the no less sturdy Abbas from across the hills. And now only these two powerful tribes remained—remained to watch each other stealthily, like two fighting cocks with necks bent each waiting for the other’s first movement. While Abdul-Mejid boasted of wealth in grain and caravans and an unconquerable army of young wariors, Abdul-Aziz, his kinsman and chieftain of the Abbas, pointed with pride to vast herds of grazing cattle and spoke of a force of plainsmen calling them invincible. And Abdul-Aziz, like his cousin, was a man whose youth was long since past and his years numbered. Each had spent his life in hating the other, hating his people, hating his children, and their children. Now Adul-Mejid had a young son, very tall, and like his father, very brave and handsome. More than that, he was the champion story teller of the tribe. Ilow eagerly did the young people listen to his tales at night as they gathered around the campfire! And most of all they loved to hear him tell of how old Marba, the witch woman, had been singled out to bear the spirit message of the tribe. Then, to prove his wild imaginings, old Marba herself would totter into the circle of firelight and shriek her prophesies of a time when the Abbas would serve the Kamirs as slaves—would sweep the sand from their doors and One Hundred FIJIy-firr cary the water jugs on the march. And she would raise a grimy fist—the first that had been hound, as punishment, until the nails grew out from the back of her hand—and shake it toward the distant hills the while she called down the curses of Allah upon Abba heads. One day there came a message to Abdul-Mejid from his cousin Aziz, asking conference. Would the most noble sultan. Mejid, cross the hills to a certain point which was half the distance separating tin tribes? Filled with curiosity not unmixed with suspicion, Adul-Mejid went. lie was decked in all his bril- liant robes—robes for which he had paid the traders of Wallachia many fine ponies and jewels of unknown origin. He sat on a white camel which was led by little black boys and was followed by a detail of bis unconquerable war- riors. So in state did the old sultan of the Kamirs cross the plains. The meeting of the aged chieftains was brief. “Peace be unto thee,” quoth Abdul-Mejid and “Allah profit thee,” replied Abdul-Aziz. So they smoked their long pipes, and tlie chief of the Abbas announced the purpose of the meeting. “Abdul-Mejid, most noble, hear me ’ he said. “Thou art old and I—I am not younger than thou. Thou hast prospered—1 also. Why do we keep this hatred in our hearts? Let us bury it and live at peace in the evening of our lives. Nay, hear me. Thy boast is that thine own army is unconquerable. 1 have prattled of my invincible warriors. What would happen were these two armies to meet? With these armies might not we crush back the onrush of the hated Gentiles?” He ceased speaking. Abdul-Mejid arose from his mat. His old eyes gleamed with rage. “Woman,” he scorned. “1 have thought to possess a fearless foe worthy of my steel, and 1 discover a cringing coward—a dog of a Christian. Never shall there be peace between Abdul-Mejid and thou.” After the night of this meeting Achmed’s firelight tales to the youth of his own age were always of a pair of bright eyes peering through the bushes—how he found them to belong to a slim dark Abba girl whose black tresses were firmly caught in the brush—how when she discovered his presence she flashed a bright dagger, severed the gleaming locks of hair and fled like a frightened rabbit. And as he told this tale his dark eyes glowed in the dancing light. For Achmed knew that she was Yvite. daughter of Abdul-Aziz, his father's enemy. So when Achmed brought to the camp as his prisoner and bride Yvite. daughter of Abdul-Aziz. the Kamir women wept aloud, and their men whetted their swords in earnest. For did not the stealing of the most beautiful woman of the Abba tribe warrant glorious warfare? And so at length were met the unconquerable army and the invincible army. All day they fought while the War God laughed through his flaming teeth and beckoned on the ranks, one after one. And at evening the blood-red setting sun saw a scarlet battle field strewn with the bodies of countless warriors, while out of the midst of these arose the God of War, clothed in scarlet with a mouth of flame, to announce his victory. They met—did Abdul-Mejid and Abdul-Aziz in the center of the field. “Peace be unto thee, Abdul-Aziz. Your warriors were invincible,” quoth the Kamir chieftain, and “Allah prosper thee, Mejid. Your army was un- conquerable,” replied his cousin. Their cheeks touched in friendly greeting. So perished the hatred between the Abbas and the Kamirs—but with it perished the tribes.

U r CAFETERIA Our cafeteria was placed under a new management this year, and it may be regarded as an immense success. Under Mrs. Walcott’s able management, the students were served efficiently and economically. The meals were excellent, and the service good, while the price was just what the students could afford. The following women aided Mrs. Walcott in operating the cafeteria: Mrs. Oliverson, Mrs. Schaede, Mrs. James, and Miss Wood. The task of running our cafeteria is not as easy as might be supposed. One must serve food which is economical, is pleasing in appearance as well as desirable for the health of the students. This is what these women have accomplished, and we desire to express our appreciation to Mrs. Walcott and her helpers for the excellent ser- vice they have given us. The cafeteria is particularly appreciated by those students who live a great distance from the school. On a cold winter day, it is very convenient to go down to our well-equipped cafeteria and get a hot lunch. We hope that in the future, this service to the students may continue as efficiently as it has in the past.

Or perchance, my lady, you did choose. To spend too much time with your rouge. That wasn't it? Well, some one said He thought you’d like to hide your head. As once you did beneath a chair. The joke is really very rare! For like an ostrich bird you thought That. If your head was hid. you’d not be caught. Nor punished by your mother—Nuff said! One doesn’t punish on the head! Junior: You needn’t stand up there and grin Just because your work’s all in; For some of us know a thing or two That wasn’t so much fun for you. One night, when you went to roller skate. You surely thought you’d meet your fate When the junior boys had hung their Mag. To take the place of that senior rag; You found so many boys on hand. You thought it wouldn’t be so grand To hang around, and went back home. It wasn’t safe the streets to roam! And then I’ve heard that late one night You wished to treat your girl just right. You’d treat the four on your double date, But found when it was quite too late. That all by far was not sublime. You’d give your bat for another dime! Senior: You’ve done quite well, As all can tell. In giving your roast to me, But the senior class Sits there enmasse For your roving eye to see. Pick out your man. Do the best you can, And roast ns hard as you will! I’ll promise you Without ado, To give you a better one still. Junior: George Wuxi am Muxs A little down of lightest brown Grew on his upper lip. Then Billy thought. I won’t be caught. At that I’ll take a nip. He went to get his Pa’s Gillette. And his tube of shaving cream; “You’re growing up. you little pup. You’ll soon be a man. I ween.” ’Twas thus he cried, in all his pride. As he daubed with his shaving brush. But as he shaved his lip, that razoi slipped. —Perhaps we’d better hush! We couldn’t tell what Billy yelled. Nor count the drops that flowed. But the very tip of Billy’s lip Looked as if it had been hoed. Senior: Samuel Dean Current Sam has a rouge box of his own. With which to paint his cheek. And many a maiden has been known That recipe to seek. Among the boys he’s Campaign Sam” Like the famous George McCaskrin. He’ll give you a whack with his strong right hand And never think of askin' If it hurts a bit; and then he’ll take Your hand in his and shake it. Until you wish for your own sake A mere hand clasp he’d make it! Junior: Sarah Ki.izahktii Murphy Sally loves her Johnny And she loves her Bunny too; And so between them both you see. She don’t know what to do! A Rosemary book she’d surely buy That had their pictures in it. E’en five whole dollars she’d gladly pay If it cost that much to win it. A gift of gab—she has it. She can produce the stuff. But her English teacher often Thinks it nothing else but bluff. Sen ior: Onnoi.ee Gknee McDouoau. Kenneth with his six-feet-two With hair and eyes of raven hue.

Junior: David Kuoenk Adams “Scar-face Al” or “Huggs Moran Can’t hold a candle to this man Short fused pineapples, sawed off gats; Bootleg kings with their copper vats; One and all, from him they’d hide For fear he’d take them for a ride. A tough old guy he fain would be. Notorious over land and sea. And yet this guy of gang warfare. Is the answer to a maiden’s prayer! Senior: Carlton Parkkr Russell A dancing maiden on the lea A dainty Koarse” girl is he! With bouffant skirts; a wig of red Reposing on his dainty head; With his sparkling eyes of blue.

Junior: Rohert Byrons Harm iso n He wrinkles his nose He wriggles his toes And then away his orchestra goes! He winks his left eye Then wiggles his thigh. And now they’re playing away on high. He waves his wand Around and round And every blue note gets a frown. And Hullygee! How he wiggles his knee. And keeps on the move eternally! He breakes into song As he wriggles on While his litle old orchestra plays right along. Senior: Glenn Maurice Stall He runs a taxi, for the school And often picks up Steve’’ He fills in girls around him And ne’er says. By your leave He often scuffles in the hall With a boy just half his size. He fell back through the window And almost lost his eyes. His heart was lost, all ready To Jere fair and tall As all the students noticed Who watched them in the hall. Junior: Howard Gaylord Shaw He brought his Dodge to the Senior fight Ho should have known better on such a night. For when he came back without his hat He found that every tire was fiat. He pumped for two hours on his tires. And then found out they’d cut his wires. The spark plugs all were taken out And on the floor board scattered out. The fight he had with his old car Was worse than the Junior-Senior war! We wonder if he really saw the joke, And what were the words he spoke. Senior: Leon Becker O Leon has a talent There’s not a single doubt His voice is like Al Jolaons He could even beat him out! O Leon has stage presence He can strut a measure too; And when it comes to dancing There ain’t much that he can’t do! O Leon is an actor: He surely has the style O he can beat all others By a few feet and a mile. But Leon cannot dance a bit.
