THE ROSEMARY 1932 Annual of the URBANA HIGH SCHOOL Urbana, Illinois Copyrighted by MARY JO SCOVILL Editor DICK CHILDS Bus. Manager DEDICATION The spirit of our football team is an all-important factor in our school life. The quality of our school is largely determined by the sportsmanship of its members. In our football team are embodied all of the characteristics of the loy- alty and service due our Alma Mater. They fight heroically whether winning or losing. They fight the battle, not for personal glory, but for the glory and honor of their school. Because their spirit typifies those ideals for which our school stands, we, the class of 1932, dedicate this Rosemary to our football team, in appreciation of the spirit in which they have fought and won for Urbana High School. FOREWORD “The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece! Where burning Sappho loved and sung. Where grew the arts of tear and peace.— Where Delos rose, and Phoebus sprung! Eternal summer gilds them get. But all, except their sun, is set. Byron Ancient Greece was symbolic of things beautiful and lovely in art and literature, and also of supre- macy in all athletic sports. Be- cause these characteristics can be applied to the different activities of our school life, we have chosen a Grecian theme for our yearbook. In illustrating and planning this annual, we have tried to carry out this theme in a way to show some of the beauty and loveliness of that country.

Thirty-three COMMENCEMENT We have often wondered how it would feel to be listed among those who graduate from high school at the end of four years. At last the time has come when we find the true circumstances which face us at the close of our own four years journey. Some of us are quite bewildered for we have forgotten to plan our future. All of us are just a little wary of what the years ahead will bring to us. These worries are nothing compared to the realization that the time has now arrived for us to part with our dear friends, our teachers, and even the building whose halls we have traversed each morning and evening. No one knows how dear familiar faces and places are until one has to part from them. In parting, then, we wish to say that in this place we have spent many of the happiest and most eventful mo- ments of our life. We will be thinking of those who are left who will someday experience the feeling we will have when the last fading echo of our adieu dies on the wind. Mabel Dyson ’32 STATISTICS What a piece of work is the class of thirty-two! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! Cast your eyes on the versatile class of thirty-two! Because of the variety and complexity of good looks, intellectual ability, and beauty, it is necessary to take a careful census of the class in order that one may know the true facts con- cerning it. The class of thirty-two is large, numbering one hundred eightv-nine. August is the most popular month for birthdays. George Pennell and fifty percent of the seniors are cruel, cold blondes; Rus- sell llackleman is a good example of the forty-nine percent of loving brunettes. The types of eyes are varied: there are Fred Lee’s dreamy eyes. Jay Worell’s flashy eyes, John LaSell’s hold eyes. Mary Jo Scovill’s snapping eves, June Siler’s timid eyes, and eyes that could speak volumes if they only would. I for- got to mention that all seniors have haughty and very knowing eyes. Ten percent of the girls do not carry compacts, and only one fifth of one percent does not wear make-up. Elton Hill is one of tlie five woman haters of thirty-two; and there are no girls who are strict man haters. Twenty-six senior boys wear loud ties and shrieking socks. The average weight (without Bill Hamilton) is one hundred thirty-five pounds. This is very light due to the great number of featherweight brains in the class. There are three abnormal brains (guess) and one hundred eighty-four normal hearts. In the proud and snobbish class of thirty-two, there are twenty-five aristo- cratic noses one of which belongs to Betty Thomas; Bernice Quinton has one of the fifty-five snub noses minus freckles; John Peacock is the proud owner of one of the thirty-one long noses; and the remainder of noses is not describable. We are well represented in evey profession. Among us are many clever artists: Marilee Young, Caroline Riley, Roberta Elvis, Marguerite Dolch, Mary Cady, and Martha Rose McCown. These girls have helped make the Rosemary a good book and have won poster contests during the year. All the girls in the class of thirty-two are good ball-room dancers and the boys are industriously learning in room 401 after school. Of course there are some graceful nymphs who dance around the May pole. A few of these are: Elinore Nixon, Ihleen Tramp, Ruth Brenncn. Katherine Daugherty, and Bernice Quinton. We are fortunate in having three outstanding people in dramatics: John Peacock, Fern Nelson, and John Williams. There are also many good actors who have not had so many stage appearances, but will probably become as good when they do. Altogether the average senior has three names, dances, has smoked, is loyal, was born at 3:45 in an afternoon of 1914, and was once a freshman. Each member of the class of thirty-two has spent four years, seven hun- dred twenty days, or four thousand three bunded eighty hours, or 252.800 min- utes, or one million seven hundred sixtv-eight thousands seconds waiting for that minute in which he could haltingly thank someone for a ribbon entwined scroll. These statistics are respectfully compiled to show the casual olxserver, the interested onlooker, and the innocent bystander the breadth and depth, the alti- tude and longitude of the progress and interests of the class of thirty-two. Margaret Gault ’32 CLASS WILL We, the members of the Senior class of the city of Urbana, county of Cham- paign, state of Illinois, being about four years of age, and of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testa- ment, hereby revoking and annulling any and all will or wills by us made here- tofore. To the Juniors, we leave our seats in the assembly, including the gum stuck on said seats. To the Sophomores, our stand-in with the teachers. To the Freshmen, our ability as leaders. To Mr. Hadden and Miss Ricketts, we leave our gatitude for their guiding hand throughout our four years of high school life. To Miss Riedermann we leave a book of “Boners” to be read while giving a quiz to her fourth hour English class. To Mr. Alley, we will a revised edition of Muzzey’s history and some sand- paper with which to clean the marred desks in his room. To Mr. Hallam, a dry-cleaned base-ball and a quarters worth of gum drops to eat between innings. To Mr. Horner, a year’s subscription to the Chicago Tribune to be read in first hour class, and a book entitled “Phases of Business Depression.” Don Wikoff bequeaths his ability as an “Undertaker” of great things to Bob Waggener. Mary Jo Scovill leaves her ability to go with three fellows at one time suc- cessfully to Jeanette Weeks. Jack Kirkpatick bequeaths his flirtatious air to Bud Warrick; in addition to this, he leaves his magic clarinet in the care of Mr. Overgard to be used by an aspiring musician. Ruth Wvninger leaves her “gift of gab” to Bruce Ryder to be used only as a means of avoiding a quiz in Mr. Alley’s history class. I, Marie Hogans, donate my power of growing long hair to Ellen Rankin with the provision that on abuse of the privilege, the above named power be given to Doris Vance. I, Betty Thomas, being of sound mind, do give my Garbo inclinations to Dorothy Roberts, trusting she will further the cause. Jack Fuzak leaves an excellent receipt for home brew to Gus Radebaugh, and his bottle capper to Marian Birdsell. I, Bernice Quinton, leave my shorthand notebook and my sympathy to Thais Gallivan. Dick Childs leaves for parts unknown. Marilee Young bequeaths Dick Heater to the good mercies of a pharmacy school and asks them to further his poetic abilities. Kenny Thomas leaves several broken hearts to any junior who can mend them. To Elaine Hood, Ihleen Tramp allots her success in making the boys go “Tramp, tramp, tramp” to her aid. Wayne Lavenhagen bequeaths his winning ways and charming personality to Bill Lorch. Naomi Steffy leaves her position in the office to anyone who knows the trade, and a couple of her Paris gowns to June Mershimer. (Continued on i agc 160J HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’32 Up to Camp Urbana High, a troop of soldiers marched, about hundred and fifty strong. It was in September, the year nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, and they were eager to begin the new life that awaited them there as Plebes. The portals swayed open, and they were gathered into the camp of Learning, in which they were to spend four happy and worthwhile years. At their first Conclave the following officers were elected: John Amerman, Colonel; Milton Johnson, Major; Naomi Steffy, Adjutant; Marcus Cord, Quar- ter-Master; and Junior Smith, Envoy. These officials proved to be diligent in leading them through a very successful year. The Personnel officers, Miss Gross, Miss Earl. Miss Field, Miss Carson, and Mr. Anderson, also aided them greatly in making the necessary adjustments. Some of the soldiers took up politics, others were attracted by the opportunities offered in athletics, and still others, who aspired to be teachers and prophets of the world, sought only the wisdom found in books. Some of the more adventurous ones occasionally wandered in false avenues, quite lost from the rest, but, notwithstanding, the troop gained in strength and experience, and successfully passed the Inspection which gave them advanced rating and declared them Yearlings. With ardent zeal and a spirit of true fellowship they began their second year of seeking further achievements. They held their Conclave and elected the following officers; Maurice Schroyer, Colonel; Gayle Hollingsworth, Major; Naomi Steffy, Adjutant; Charles Wertz, Quarter-Master; and Ruth Wyninger, Envoy. These officers, along with Miss Gross, their Personnel officer, proved to be efficient leaders in the troop. Much time was spent in various activities. Both boys and girls made a good showing in athletics. Six of their members were elected to the student council. Ihleen Tramp and Charles Wertz were chosen as the most popular members of the unusual troop in a contest conducted by the Rosemary, the Camp's publication. The end of the year again brought Inspira- tion and now the Troopers were proclaimed the Second Classmen. The third year the soldiers grew very serious and earnest. They entered into various activities, and were considered the wonder of the Four Troops of the Camp, because of their many noble achievements. They held their Conclave and elected the following officers: Gayle Hollingsworth, Colonel; Ihleen Tramp, Major; Dorothy Edwards, Adjutant; Bernice Quinton, Quarter-Master; and Naomi Steffy, Envoy. The Personnel officers were Miss Fisher. Miss Lair, Miss Mowrey, Miss Kirk, and Miss Gross. The play, “Mummy and the Mumps,” was a hilarious comedy and was very successful. In the Camp Show they presented “Cut! Shoot! Cut!,” a movie rehearsal in a New York Night Club. They also made a splendid showing in Athletics and were represented in the varsity de- bating team. The crowning event of the year was the Farewell Ball given for the upper classmen. After weathering the arduous test of Inspection, once more they become the Fourth Classmen. At once realizing their important place, they gathered together at their final Conclave and chose the following leaders: Don Wikoff, Colonel; Paul Simp- son, Major; Elinore Nixon, Adjutant; Edwin Hodges, Quarter-Master; Rex Roberts, Envoy. These leaders, along with their Personnel officers, marched the troop through a successful year. They were represented in debating, music, ath- letics, and all school activities, and the year passed all too swiftly. As a crown- ing event of their last year they present the play. “Last Night.” (Continued on jxuje l.ffl) THE PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1932 Marcus: It has been ten years since our high school class graduated. About a year ago, after I was made editor of the Urbana Courier, I selected Ruth Wyn- inger and Fern Nelson as reporters, who, since that time have been securing data on our old classmates. They should be here now. Why here they come! Hello, Fern and Ruth! What luck? Ruth: Luck? Why a miracle has just happened! 1 didn’t ever expect to find as many as I did. Did you succeed in interviewing all that were on your list? Fern: Yes, and you’re going to get the surprise of your life when you hear what some of our old classmates are doing. Marcus: Several have written to me about themselves. Here is what they say: Don Wycoff, our illustrious president of bygone days, is taking Hula-Hula lessons in Hawaii, after a successful career as broker in Mayview, Illinois. He writes that his wife, the former Ruth Brennen, is also enjoying the scenery. Junior Smith is still at Urbana High School. He says he is a post-graduate. Leslie Hamilton and David Lincicome are running a millinery shop in Paris. They write that they recognized Harold Smith participating in the famous “Apache Dance” with Elizabeth Gundlock. A1 Smith, who is a presidential candidate, is giving speeches on a wet plat- form. He is floating down the Mississippi River giving campaign addresses. John LaSell’s highest hope has not yet been realized. He is still hunting for someone who will appreciate his wit and cleverness. Bill Phillips is head of the American poker players union. He sees that they get a square deal. Claude Shumate is serving a prison sentence for bigamy. Vivian Ball is head of the geometry department at Myra Station. Dick Childs is now head of the well known Child’s Welfare Society. He still has hopes of being accepted by Mary Jo Scovill, who has continually re- fused him in favor of a career. She is a famous novelist, her latest book is en- titled “Why Men Leave Home.” Vincent Ball and Russell Ilackleman are gigolos in a Sidney night-club— by the way, the hostess is none other than our own little Norma Gourley. Claude Wrathers and Rex Roberts are waiting tables. Kenneth Thomas has invented a wrist watch and named it after his wife, Rosemary Cold well Thomas, which can continue for eight days without running down. Eugene Butts has taken the place of Aimec Semple McPherson, being as- sisted by John Williams. Eugene was just lately released after being kidnapped for several weeks. Marcus: That ends the names of the people who have written me. What did you find ? Fern : Betty Thomas is peddling powder puffs in the Town Crier Flour Factory. Among her regular customers are Elinore Nixon and Marguerite Dolch. Irma Long and Audrey Frank arc progessive floor walkers in Scott’s Ten Cent Store. Ruth Green. Madge Brentlinger, and Marie Hatter are graduate nurses. They are secretly hoping for a new war in view of a possible romance. John Amerman, Howard Schaudt, and Max Meadows have been unanimously elected street-sweepers by the people of the village of Greenup. (Continued on page ! b HATCHET ORATION Senior: • Full many a legend hath been told About this hatchet, wondrous old; Full many a song has found its way From olden times to the present day. 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 now it came to Urbana High. In those olden days, so long gone by. Before the white man came to dwell In Champaign County, histories tell, The wandering tribes of Kickapoo And Miami Indians lived here too; The Pottawatomies set their tent. 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. Tls near this old historic spot That C. N. Clark had a business lot. When first the w’hite man hither came With thought this Indian land to tame. The red men of the Kickapoo. And all the other Indians, too. Bore keen resentment; then they swore That they of sleep would have no more 'Till they had driven every man Of white blood out of this, their land. The Indian Chief, Chicagou, strove In vain; the white man throve. He throve in spite of trials severe While ever dangers hovered near From every hostitle Indian band Who treachery against him planned. Then, when Chicagou saw at last There was no doubt, the die was cast; The white man must be made a friend. The struggles, fighting, all must end If the tribes of Illinois Were to live and not to die. He gathered his chiefs together then And bade them bring both women and men. To meet the white man near this spring. With Indian chant and tom-tom's beat The ceremony was complete. They buried a hatchet as a sign of peace, And 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 Upon this stage to produce their man To answer in person for his class. Before, to them this hatchet may pass. Senior: You didn’t seem to be in a hurry Although you knew that we were wait- ing It seems that plenty of time you were taking. But from the past it is known you don't worry Or hurry with anything that you have to do. But just let it turn out as it happens to. One day in a study hall you were quite sleepy And instead of studying as you should have done, You sat looking in space and let your mind run. The rest of the class looked on and felt creepy, (Continued on page .}. Thirty-nine VALEDICTORY Though I speak with the tongues of men ami of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And though 1 have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though 1 have all faith so that 1 could remove mountains, and have not love, 1 am nothing. For a period of four fleeting years, the members of the Class of 1932 have been almost wholly engrossed in the activities of a great organization, an organi- zation which, like a huge factory, is throbbing and pulsating with the life with- in. We were taken into this factory as comparatively raw product, but by the efforts of our parents and teachers combined with love and personal attention for each of us, the raw material has been so treated that it is now ready for public use. Just as light passing through a crystal prism is broken up into all the colors of the rainbow, so may Love, analyzed, be found to consist of many parts. Among these parts are kindness, patience, and sincerity. The patience shown by our teachers and friends, and the sincerity portrayed in whatever they have done for us. have encouraged us to do our best in our various undertakings. But the out- standing factor of our school life, that has made it different from industrial life, is, above all. the spirit of kindness that has prevailed. During the past years and up to the present moment the fundamental driv- ing force of our lives has been the desire for knowledge. That force has been with us constantly. Whether or not it has been strong within ourselves, that ideal, inculcated in the heart of someone, has influenced us in nearly everything we have done. It is the axis about which we have revolved, the powerful mag- net which has held us all together. Now that this course is nearly run, we must search out a new aim—an aim that will be a firm foundation for our structure. What will it be? The answer to our question may be found in the great Love chapter of the Bible, in which Paul says that love is the greatest thing in the world. Although we may have unusual eloquence but have not the purpose of Love, our ability will be of no avail; in a world of continual inventions and dis- coveries knowledge will some day pass away; even faith is merely a means to an end which is Love itself. We have known faith in its simple, trusting form—faith in our teachers, our parents, and our friends. Now our faith has changed into sight. We have known hope—hope for a successful completion of our high school work; and now our hope has turned into fulfillment. Finally, we have known Ix ve, and we shall use it in carrying out the purposes of our lives, for Ix ve never fails, but is Life itself. • • • • And now abideth faith, hope. love, these love. three; but the greatest of these Mary Miller is Forty SALUTATORY Tonight we of the Class of 1932 have reached a goal toward which we have been striving for four years. This occasion marks a great event in our lives, but as we reach the achievement of this goal, we see higher aims rising before us. As we arrive at the completion of this aim and are searching for a new ideal towards which to strive in the future, we must not forget the really great fundamentals of success and happiness in life. Let us remember that real worth lies in being true to ourselves, in being sincere. Alice Cary has written : “True worth is in being, not seeming; In doing, each day that goes by, Some little good—not in dreaming Of great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in blindness, And spite of the fancies of youth, There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.” Tonight we realize that we have not reached this graduation without help. To our parents and to our teachers, we are grateful for the aid which they have always been ready and willing to give us. During these past four years we have learned many things. Some of these we have learned from books: some have been taught us by our teachers; others we have learned through experience. As we have learned these things, we have come to realize how very little we actually know of the vast store of knowledge in this world. Because we do realize this, some of us intend to continue our education in a higher institution of learning. Others of us are ready to take our places as wage-earners. During our high school years we have made many friendships, some of which will last throughout our lives. We have had some of the happiest experi- ences which we shall ever know. As we look back over these years, remembering the happy times which we have had and the friendships which we have experienced here, we feel regretful that we must leave them so soon; but this feeling of regret changes to one of mingled joy and hope as we look forward into the future to higher ideals which we have set up before us for our futher achievement. As we are here tonight, looking hack through our high school years and look- ing forward into the years to come. we. the Class of 1932. extend to you. our parents and friends, our sincere welcome to our graduation exercises.

The last event of the Juniors was the Junior-Senior reception given the lat- ter part of May, which was a final gesture of appreciation to the Seniors. The Juniors can look back at the three years of their high school life with pleasure because they have been well represented in everything, especially this year. There is one more year for us, and we will all come back with high hopes for the success of our class next year. Top Mow: McCoy. Scbrelher, K. Williams. Rusk. Wlmer, Towner. K. Smith, Roney.

Dick Blaisdell and Howard Simpson are looking torward to being elected to the Honor Society. From all appearances Nellie Rawlev will be a model in the style show. June Mershimer, Hilda Beck, and Lillian Moss are go- ing out for Dramatics in a big way. We wonder it Ike illiamson will get an- other permanent wave next year! Dorothea Hogans, Arlene Hendrix, and Yvonne Haines will certainly be extremely popular. Everett Wilson and Glenn Slusser will be making big money playing in orchestras. Top Rote: II. Smith. Sohaede.

They were guided through a happy and successful rear by Miss Thomas. The boys basketball team, whose captain was Robert Moore, won fourteen out of fifteen games. Many boys went out for football, track, and swimming, also band and orchestra, and were very prominent in these activities. June Goble was elected captain of the girls basketball team. Although this team lost every game it played, the sophomore, junior, and senior teams had to work hard to win. Many girls went out for volley ball and baseball. Madeline Shoaf took a lead in the Miss Leap Year Contest and in the May Fete. Mary Ellen Boyd also took a lead in the May Fete. June Goble, Dorothy Cord, and Top Row: Brown, Licht. Franklin, Cook.

The Freshman Class had a wiener roast at Crystal Lake Park and enjoyed it very much. A few members of the Freshman Class, who are interested in dramatics and public speaking and who are not allowed to take these subjects the first two years, were given a chance to show their interests by participating in the class tryouts for the Big Twelve. The class was well represented by June Mershimer in humorous readings at the Big Twelve Contest. Many members of this class also took part in the Washington Bi-centennial Celebration given at the Memorial Stadium of the University of Illinois. Almost all of the girls participated in the May Pole Dance and were under the supervision of Miss Brownell. Eighth Note: Huff. Smith. Service. Ketzolk. Shaw. Ko� fc nberj:. I� . Vim ('leave, Snider.

The clubs we belong to, and the athletics we enter into, are part of our school life. We don't get much out of our four years in high school unless we join the rest of our friends in these affairs. Athletics is the best way to make good friends. Seven years ago “Steve graduated from the coaching school at the Uni- versity of Illinois. He went to Pana High School for two years where he made a very good record. He lost two games in football and went to the sectional finals in basketball. He also had two Championship baseball teams and was un- defeated in track. After that brilliant record he came to Urbana High School. In his first year only mediocre success was accomplished, after which time he has established the most outstanding record of victories in the Big 12 Con- ference. During his seven years of service at the Urbana High, he achieved five championships in Track, one in Football, two seconds in Football and two seconds and two thirds in Basketball. A great number of Mr. Stephens’ athletes have made outstanding records at numerous universities and colleges. Mr. Stephens has not only developed cham- pion athletic teams but he has also promoted a complete program of intramural activities. While coaching. Steve has always needed a few extra helpers, because he is not able to coach three or four teams at once. In football this year, the assistant coach was Ed. Gbur. This was his first year at Urbana, but we all liked him and he was a great help to Steve. Our cross country team was coached by Leslie Hamilton. We did not have much chance to see our team display their ability but on the whole they did very well. Leslie also coached the Freshman basketball squad. From this bunch, we hope to see some promising athletes in the future years. We don ’t hear as much about Urbana’s swimming team as we do the basket- ball team but still it is very important. This year, as in the past, the team was coached by (’lark Boot. He gave his time every afternoon to help these boys in swimming and has produced some very good swimmers. DIXON WALDRON KILBY MANAGERS “Hev Doc come bandage me up!” This is what you hear every night. The managers are the ones that keep the team in high spirits before the game. Ralph Waldron, Dwayne Dixon and Junior Riley are three who do as much work as the players do. Junior Riley is called “Doc” because he takes care of the injuries of our athletes. “Spike” Dixon is called “Ben” after Ben Crackel who is in charge of the equipment at the University of Illinois, as “Spike is here. “Hap Waldron is head manager and Steve’s right hand man, besides having charge of the other two managers. CHEER LEADERS Everyone knows that a peppy, yelling crowd encourages players to do their best, while a dull, lifeless crowd has a depressing effect on the team. Urbana was lucky enough to have three cheer leaders who have been uniformly successful in keeping the crowd peppy and thus encouraging the team. They were: Melvin Wimer, Chester Keller, and Charles Keller. These three were out at every game, rain or shine, and kept the crowd yelling. It is a difficult job to keep a crowd cheering, and we are thankful that we have three boys who can do it. I hey were also cheer leaders last year, and did as good a job then as they did this year.

We could always depend on Pete to get his man. lie was the most con- sistent man on the team this year. This is Petes second year as a regular. Two of his best games this year were Lincoln and Danville. Paul Simpson was a powerful tackle. Paul has played for three years. Due to his excellent playing, he received the cup awarded by the Urbana Association of Commerce to the most valuable player in the Champaign-Urbana game. lie also re- ceived honorable mention in the All-Con- ference team selected by the Decatur Re- view and the Champaign News-Gazette. He improved steadily during the season, and he became one of the strongest tackles in the Big Twelve. George Zink was one of the finest players on the squad. His position was a difficult one to fill, and he did a fine job. Sonny will be back with us next year. He is one of the few lettermen returning. We expect him to be one of the mainstays of next year's Orange and Black football squad. This year George played end on offense and halfback on the defense. This was his second vear as a letterman. Bob Schumacher played center. He was one of the most consistent plays along with Pete Waldron. We could always depend on Bob and there never was a game that we did not see him ready to start right off and win for Urbana. Bob was reliable, and for that reason he played in every game. This year Bob was picked for the All-Conference team by unani- mous selection of the coaches. This was Bob’s third year. URBANA 14, HOOPESTON 13 Urbana met the powerful Hoopeston aggregation Friday, October 24, and emerged the victor by one point, 14-13. Hoopeston held the lead by a 13-6 margin after the first fifteen minutes. However, Urbana rallied in the final period and became the victor. Kenny Thomas scored first after Tarpening had intercepted a pass and run the length of the field to the two-yard line. Thomas took the ball over the line in two plunges. Hoopeston tied the score by a long pass and by kicking the extra point. They went into the lead by a touchdown scored on a tricky line play. The score remained 13-6 until the third quarter when the Hoopeston captain accidentally made a safety while punting from behind the goal line. Urbana then started a driving attack which carried the ball steadily down the field. Wertz tossed a fine pass which Thomas nabbed and carried twen- ty-five yards to the goal line. URBANA 0, GEORGETOWN 12 On Saturday, September 27, Lew Stephens took his Orange and Black grid- ders to Georgetown for the second game of the season. A fighting Georgetown eleven defeated them 12-0. The star of the Georgetown aggregation was a lad named Sleek and caused Urbana plenty of grief! He scored both touchdowns for Georgetown and stopped many an Urbana play. Urbana had to rely on straight line plays, as her passing attack proved ineffective. Thomas and Shroyer looked good in the backfield, and Fuzak, Hamilton, and Waldron played a real game in the line. During the early part of the contest. Urbana kept the ball. Jack Fuzak played end. Although this was his first year, at the end of the season he played like a veteran. Jack was an excellent pass-receiver. His only handicap was his in- experience. We could always expect him to do his best be- cause he enjoyed playing. Jack was a splendid player, and we shall miss him very much next year. Cassel Payne was only a junior this year, and he is one of Urbana ’s best pros- pects for next year. He played well at tackle and substituted for Hamilton or Simpson. He was one of the two juniors to win his letter; therefore we expect a lot from him in the future. Although he didn’t get a very good chance to show us what he could do, we know that he will be a great help to the Orange and Black line. Bud Shroyer played halfback. Although this was his first year as a regular, he played very well, lie was one of the fastest men on the team. This helped a great deal because most of the backfield was slow. Buddy’s only handicap was his size. We could always depend on him to get through for a gain whenever he carried the ball. His two outstanding games this year were Manual and Lincoln. Charles Wertz played backfield. Although small, Chuck is fast; this helped him to get through the line. When he played, he carried the ball a great deal and was always re- liable. He played very well at Mattoon until he was injured. He also played well at lloopeston. Sixtylour URBANA 13, MATTOON 0 On October the thirtieth, the Urbana High Gridders won a night game from Mattoon. The game was played at Mattoon on a wet, slippery field. Urbana ’s power plays were clicking smoothly, and her defense held Mattoon scoreless. Ur- bana scored a touchdown early in the game, when Thomas carried the ball twenty-five yards to a touchdown and plunged over for the point. The touch- down came after only three minutes of play. The Orange and Black gridders scored again in the third quarter when Wertz carried the ball across on a power play. However, the try for the point was unsuccessful. In the same quarter Ur- bana came within inches of the goal but failed to put the ball over. URBANA 20. LINCOLN 6 Urbana easily carried off its third conference victory when it played Lincoln on the latter’s field. From the kickoff. Urbana had the game well in hand, win- ning the first touchdown after a smooth drive down the field. Waldron plunged over for the extra point. The second counter for Urbana came shortly after, Thomas and Shroyer exhibiting good ground gaining. A freak kick of Lincoln’s bounced out on the third-yard line and Waldron carried the ball over the line for Urbana s third scoring. Amerman passed to Tarpenning for the extra point. Debna made Lincoln’s only touchdown. A big feature in the game was the play- ing of “Ilank” Smith. lie was always the first down on the punts. The score rested 20-6 at the end of the encounter. Kenneth Thomas played halfback. He was an excellent line-plunger. This was Kenny’s third year as a regular, and he was Ubana's most valuable man. We all felt sure of get- ting the ball over for a first down if Kenny carried it. Kenny received honorable mention on the All-State Team and was chosen for the All-Conference team, too. Besides these honors, he was also the high-scorer of the team, playing well in the Decatur, Mattoon, and Danville games. Bill Phillips played guard. lie was one of our most reliable players. Although lie was not so large as the rest of the linemen, he could always be depended upon to do his part well. Bill was powerful in defense, but his best quality, and the one which was most outstanding, was his interference. Bill played football like his brother “Shorty,” who played in 1926. He played exceptional football in all of the games. John A merman was assigned this year the duty of directing the plays from the quarterback position. His best quality was blocking. We were always sure of John getting his man. He also played a good game on defense. This was John’s second year on the first team ; therefore he had had some experience. John is also a senior and will not be back next year. He played his best game at Aurora. Howard Schaudt was a new man here. This was his first year working out on the gridiron for Urbana. He was a sub- stitute for either Simpson or Bill Hamilton. Howard was a hard worker and always ready to fight for Urbana High. He will be missed next year. He played well in many of Ur- bana's conference games, and especially in the Champaign game. URBANA VS. DECATUR Urbana won a hard fought game from Decatur by a score of 7-6. The game was played at night on Champaign’s McKinley Field. The win placed the Orange and Black in a tie with Springfield for the Big Twelve lead. Urbana’s offense was led by Kenny Thomas who played a fine game. In fact the whole team showed a fine knowledge of fundamentals, a tribute to Coach Stephens. At the start of the second half Thomas received the kick-off on our ten-yard line and ran it back for a touchdown. Johnny Ammerman place-kicked what proved to be the winning point. Later in the game Decatur pushed over a touch- down but failed to kick the extra point. URBANA 18. DANVILLE 0 Playing in the rain before a small crowd, the Orange and Black eleven swept on to a victory over Danville. The early part of the game was a kicking duel between Zink of Urbana and Jack Arnold of Danville. Urbana scored early in the second quarter when, after a series of plays, 'Waldron plunged over for a touchdown. The try for point failed. In the third quater, Bud Shroyer carried the ball sixtv-five yards to Danville’s fifteen-yard line. Thomas wiggled across for the touchdown, but failed to make the necessary yardage for the extra point In the last quarter, after a thirty-yard run by Wertz, Wrathers took the ball across from the one-vard line. Hill I Ia ni i 1 ton played in the line again this year and did good work as tackle. lie was the biggest man on the team; his size frightened the other teams. This was his second year on the first team. He was a good lineman, and we could always depend on his breaking through the line for a gain. We shall miss Bill in our line next year. He played well at Decatur. John Tarpenning was a substitute for a hackfield or end position. He was a hard worker and liked the game very much. John made the team after trying for four years. As an end John did his work very well. In the hackfield he worked earnestly to open holes for the ball carriers. John played well in the Iloopeston game. George Pennell played guard and did some good substituting. George made the first team in his third year, after trying for two years. He substituted for either Hamilton or Sears. George was rather small, but he played guard well. He usually played in every game. He is a senior and will not be back with us next year. Cham- paign and Georgetown were his best games. Thurman Sears played end on defense; he ran interference on offense. It was Thurmans interference which enabled the hall carriers to play well in all of the games. This has been his third year of playing. He is a senior; we shall miss him next year. Thurman played in the line, and although we didn't hear much about him. he was a consistent player and played in every game. His best playing was done at Mattoon, Manual, and Iloopeston. URBANA 13, PEORIA MANUAL 0 Urbana’s strong offense easily ripped Peoria Manual's reputed defense. The play was defensive early in the game, until the end of the first quarter when Manual started a drive toward goal, succeeding in a fight to put the ball on Ur- bana ’s one-foot line. Urbana resisted however and regained safety. Shrover started the second quarter fom Urbana’s 20 yard-line, shortly after which Ur- bana won the first counter, and the point following. Shortly before the half ended, Thomas scored the second touchdown for Urbana. Sboup. of Manual, was a hindrance to Urbana's scoring. The final score stood 13-0 with Urbana at the top. CHAMPAIGN 13, URBANA ( Wading through the slush and mud of Champaign McKinley Field, our Urbana Orange and Black warriors were defeated by the Champaign Maroons in one of the biggest upsets in Twin-City grid history. In spite of dauntless courage on the part of Urbana, the west-siders scored in the first period and from then on had the contest well in hand. Although Urbana made more first downs, Champaign used tricky offense, consequently scored upon Urbana who expected straight line plays. The Maroons' first score seemed to decide the out- come, for it gave them confidence and discouraged the Urbana eleven. Urbana made their only touchdown in the last period after they had made many en- couraging drives down the field only to be held a few yards from goal.

They took the first one decisively by a score of 21-11, but lost the second to the close score of 20-17. In the first game, “Zoom” Simpson was high point man for Urbana, and in the second Zink lead the scoring. For Champaign, Grolla lead the scoring in the first game, and in the second game, Reid led his teammates to victory. JUNIOR SQUAD The Junior Squad ran off a successful season this year, besides having sev- eral men on the varsity squad. Mehnert, Schaudt, Schrieber, Zinc and, later on, Guynn and Radebaugh, were on the varsity squad. Looking over the Junior squad, the chances look bright for a real Urbana team for next year. Radebaugh was consistently the leading scorer of the Juniors before he was transferred to the Varsity Squad. Guynn also should shape up into a good center by next year. The other men on the Junior Squad were: Keller, Oehmke, Keller, Gladding, Sperling, and Frame. Second Rove: I . Harvey, (!. Rndehntigh. J. Ilnlm-s. G. Gladding. Craig, Sperling.

His speed on the offensive ac- counted for many of Urbana's bas- kets. and he seldom let his man get away for a basket. He played an especially good game in the sectional tourna- ment. ('Iiui'leti Wertz. Charley came out strong in the latter part of the season, starring especially in the sectional tournament. He was another of our star football players who made good in basketball. He was fast on his feet and played in the for- ward places. Charles was especially good at guarding. LINCOLN 29. I RBAX A 27 Although they played their best game of the season, Urbana met defeat at the hands of a Lincoln team led by Dehner, who scored 14 points to lead the scoring of both teams. It was an exceptionally even match as is shown by the fact that both teams scored ten field goals and each had equal opportunities at the free throw line. Lincoln sunk two more free throws than Urbana, however, and this was the margin by which they won the game. Kuzak, Zink, and Schaudt led the scoring for Urbana with six points each. SOPHOMORE SQUAD The Sophs had a fairly successful season, winning quite a few of their games. The men who played in the majority of the games, were Kinzer, Apper- son, Smith, Beard, Browder. Haines, Simpson. Leming, and Gildersleeve. Kin- zer was dependable in a pinch. Apperson is another who should be good varsity material in a year or two. Itotc: Slade. Kin seer. Hevla.

He was one of the men back from last year's team, and also a star in foot- ball. hi one of the closest games of the season, if we except the Danville game the night before, Urbana barely nosed out Mattoon by a score of 14 to 13. The •core was tied a dozen times and Mattoon lead most of the time. Zink’s long shot and Simpson’s free throw a minute before the end of tin game, won for I rbana. The night before Urbana had barely succeeded in winning over Dan- ville in a overtime game, truly a busy week for the Orange and Black Quintet! FRESHMAN SQUAD The freshman squad were lucky in having a good team this year. They ran off a quite good season, winning a large majority of their games, usually by de- cisive scores. The men who played most of the season for the Frosh were: Cut- ler. Schreiber, Armstrong, Saathoff, Mangold and Moore. Although they won a majority of their games, they were forced to take a beating from the Juniors to the tune of 21 to 13. Curly Moore was probably the star of the freshman team. tow: Conch Hamilton.

He was good at both long and short shots, and his speed made him a good guard on of- fense. He played under the basket in Urbana's fast break- ing offense. URBANA 14. MATTOON 13 I’mil Simpson, better known ns “Zoom. played at forward the first half of the season, and at center when Jack Fuzak was out with a sprained ankle. He was rather fast for h(8 size, and will be missed next year. His specialty was shots from up around the free throw line. .loh n Schrieber played all of the season at guard. He was a consistent player, and kept Ur- ban a’s opponents from scoring many points. He did lit- tle shooting, pre- ferring to stay back and stop the oppos- ing players before they could get down the floor. He will b8 a valuable man next year. URBAN A 21, DANVILLE 1 Urbana wound up her conference season with a victory over Danville. It was an uninteresting game for the most part, neither team played very good ball, and it was one of the roughest games of the season. Using a four man defense, Ur- bana held Danville to three field goals and three free throws. Danville's field goals came one in the third, and two in the fourth quarters. Mehnert starred at forward, scoring three baskets. Fuzak also got three baskets. This ended our conference season and left us with a percentage of .700. We were tied with Manual for second place. INTRAMURAL WINNERS Don Wicoff's intramural team copped first place in the tournament which was held last winter. His team won the National league and then played Clem Gerheardt’s team (winner of the American league) after the Covington con- test. Wicoff won the game by a good margin. Second Row: l’ri vflt.

Wayne Laven- liagcn came up from Philo this year, and made good in bas- ketball. He played at forward off and on all season. Wayne was fast on his feet, and could guard well. He sel- dom missed a close shot, although he was not the equal of Schaudt in long shots. MATTOON 16, URBANA 21 With both teams playing rather ragged hall. Urbana succeeded in triumph- ing over Mattoon 21 to 16. The teams battled on even terms in the first half, with Urbana holding a two point lead when the whistle blew. At the end of the third quarter I rbana was leading 14-11, and in tin next quarter they scored eleven points to their opponents five. Fuzak lead the scoring for Urbana with eight points and ink followed him with six. This game left Urbana in a tie for third place with Lincoln. URBANA 16. DANVILLE 14 On Friday night the Orange and Black were forced into an overtime to de- teat the Danville quintette. The score was tied at 14 apiece at the end of the regular playing time. As the game went into the overtime Zink missed a free throw but brought the crowd to its feet with a short shot that rolled into the hoop to put Urbana in the lead. This win placed Urbana in a tie with Lincoln for the Big 12 lead. URBANA 12. MANUAL 23 Urbana lost their first conference game, when they met Peoria in our gym. The first half went as most of our games do, a close exciting contest. When‘the half ended Urbana was leading 7-6. In the second half, however, Manual’s fast breaking offense was functioning faultlessly and their forwards were making baskets from all over the floor. Simpson was the only player up to his usual form in this game, he was also high point man scoring eight of Urbana’s 12 points. DISTRICT TOURNAM ENT Urbana easily won the district tournament which was held in our gym. The only exciting games were the Fisher-Champaign and IJrbana-Sidney games. The one big feature of the tournament, from the spectator viewpoint, was the num- ber of upsets. Urbana beat Homer in their first game, and in the semi-finals they beat the Sidney team, which had won from both Penfield and St. .Joe. Ogden beat the Fisher team which had won from Champaign. In the finals Urbana beat Ogden 33-12.

TRACK SCHEDULE Quadrangular Meet Champaign Dual Meet Quadrangular Relay Meet Relay Carnival Rig Twelve Meet District Meet SUMMARY OF TRACK SEASON Urbana had a rather unsuccessful track season, compared to previous years. They only took third in the district, and didn’t place a man in the state contest. They won their dual meet with Champaign, but only took fourth in the confer- ence meet at Lincoln. There was no one particular weakness to the team, the whole team was good, but not quite good enough. Fuzak in the Javelin and high jump, Kirkpatrick in the pole vault, and our Relay teams were our strong point. The chances for next year look pretty good though. Zink, Schrieber. “Hank” Smith, Harvey, Joe Carson. Apperson, Mehnert, and Gladding will make good material to build a team on next year. Unluckily Jack Kirkpatrick sprained his ankle in one of the meets, and was unable to go to the state meet. Fuzak s mark of six feet one-half inch in the district meet was not good enough in the state meet. Eighty •John Sohriobcr, a star in basketball, came through in a big way in track. He ran on the half mile raley team, and on the mile re- lay team in the re- lay carnival. He also is only a Jun- ior. and will be a strength to the team next year. Datlc Harvey is another Junior, and should make a name for himself next year. He was easily Urbana's best half miler, and added several points to our score in the dif- ferent meets. He is also a pole vaulter of no little ability, and he and Hank Smith should gar- ner several points between them. DISTRICT MEE T In the district meet, which they won last year. Urbana could only place third, rhe meet was won hv Monticello, with Westville only about three points behind, and Urbana only three points behind them. Smith took four points by getting second in the pole vault, Kirkpatrick being out with a sprained ankle. 1 uzak and Konosky ot Onargo tied for first place in the high jump, with a mark of six feet and one-half inch. The Urbana relay team took second place to the fast Monticello outfit, which ran the 880 yard relay in the fast time of 1:36.4. The rest of Urbana s points were picked up here and there with third and fourth places. The only two records to fall were Fuzak and Konosky's mark in the high jump, and the old record of 11 feet 2 inches in the pole vault, set at Onargo in 1929. was broken by Morris of Watseka. who cleared the bar at 11 feet 9i 2 inches. The results of this meet allowed six men from Urbana to go to the state meet the next week. They were Fuzak. Smith. Zink, Schrieber, Cravens, and Carson. The last four were Urbana’s 880 yard relay team. Joe Carson was a member of the half mile relay team, anil also ran in the shuttle hurdle re- lay and the quarter mile relay. He is fast and as he is only a Sophomore, he will be a really valuable player in another year or so. ••Sunny’ ink was the Urbana quarter miler. and a mem- ber of the relay team. Fuzak and he were the only three-letter men we had this year. He made a hero of him- self by winning his event in the Cham- paign meet and giv- ing Urbana the meet. RELAY CARNIVAL One of the big events of the season was the Relay Carnival held here at Ur- bana. It was an invitational meet, and about thirty schools were entered. Peoria Central walked off with first honors, for which they can give thanks to the Heet- ness of their runners. Urbana was able to place only fourth, about : 4 of a point behind Cham- paign. We took only one first place cup, that of the Shuttle Hurdle Relay in which our team took first easily. Our mile relay team came very close to win- ning their event, but were a trifle too slow, and only got second. Fuzak had a piece of tough luck, and in throwing the Javelin hurt his back ami was unable to get anything in the high jump. The pole vault went to Peoria Central at 11 feet 7 inches. Fuzak, as was said, took the Javelin. Urbana failed to gain any points in the field events outside of the Javelin. In the half mile run. Harvey took fourth to give us one point. K'rnic Mehnert is another basketball man who made Rood in track. He also is only a Jun- ior and should be a valuable weight man or next year’s team. His specialty this year was the shot and he also ran the high hur- dles along with Pen- nell. Jark Puxak was the Urbana entry in the high jump and in the Javelin throw. He reached the state meet in the high jump, but couldn’t seem to hit his stride, and failed to get any- thing. In the dis- trict meet he cleared the bar at 6 which is not bad for any high school ath- lete. Urbanas weakness in the field events showed up especially strong in this meet, a couple of good shot putters or a discus thrower might have made the result of the meet a different story. It is quite likely that this event will become an annual affair, and if so we can hope for better luck next year. There was a loving cup given for first and second places in each of the relay events. Urbana collected one first place, and a couple of second place . The big feature of the meet was the Triathlon. Each school had the right to enter one man in the High Jump, Shot Put, and the hundred yard dash. The man scoring the most points in the three events was the winner. 2,000 was a perfect score, but of course no perfect score was made. Urbana didn't even have an entry in the contest although most of the other schools did. This Triathlon is really a copy on a small scale of the Olympic Decathon. Peoria Central showed up especially strong in the Track Events, taking more than any other school at the meet. Another interesting event was the Medley Relay. It consisted of the 220, the 880. the 440. and the mile. It was won by Tuscola. Eighty three Hk.nhy “Hank” Smith S' “Hank Smith was one of Urbana's three pole vaulterg. The other two were Kirk- patrick and Harvey. He took second in the pole vault in the district meet, and went to the state but failed to qualify. He is only a Junior and will make good varsity material next year. CHAMPAIGN MEET In our second meet of the .rear, we took a close decision over Champaign, winning 61 to 57. We took the first three places in the pole vault; Kirkpatrick, Smith, and Ilarvey eliminating their competitors before they reached eleven feet. Harvey took first in the 880 yard run, and we also got third out of the same run. We only took second in the mile, Gladding doing the running for Urbana. Zimmerman took the hundred yard dash for Champaign, in only fair time, with Zink running him a close second to give Urbana four points. In the quar- ter mile, Zink brought Urbana five points. Going over to the field events, Fuzak took the high jump with a mark of a little over five and a half feet. In the Javelin, Fuzak again garnered five points with a heave of a little over 147 feet. Ernie Mehnert failed to win the high hur- dles. but brought us some points in the shot put. Champaign scored most of the points in the broad jump, taking three of the places. Champaign took the discus, but Urbana came back and took the 120 yard low hurdles, Carson doing the scor- ing for the Orange and Hlack thinclads. Urbana again collected several points, when our men scored in the 220 yard dash. Urbana depended mostly on first and second places for their points. The result of the whole meet hinged on the last event—the quarter mile dash—and Zink won it and the meet. There were no sensational times or distances set up in the meet, since hardly any of the winners had to really exert themselves. SWIMMING Top Ito c: Hrnwnfichl. I’lilllips, O'lkninpll. Ilm-kt-r. Hmt ft ok: .Muon-, Porter, Cortl. Kern, Franklin. PERSONNEL OF SWIMMING TEAM Cord Kern Phillips Childs Moore Porter Hacker Janies SWIMMING SCHEDULE Champaign Danville Peoria Champaign Danville Con ference George Phillips, another varsity man back from last year, was probably one of the best if not the best Breast Stroke man in the confer- ence. He broke the Big Twelve record in the preliminaries at the conference, but was disqualified in the finals. Harvey Moore was our best man n the back stroke, and he swam that event in the medley relay, and swam the 100 yards in the dual meets. He is only a freshman. and will make real var- sity material for next year and the years after. SUMMARY OF SWIMMING SEASON I rbana completed a rather unsuccessful season in swimming by gaining only four points in the conference meet. This year Urbana had six dual meets, and the conference meet. In the dual meets, they succeeded in winning only one, that one at the expense of Peoria. Clark Root coached the Urbana team. lie did a fine job considering that he had only two varsity men back from last year. Phillips hung up a new conference record in the breast stroke, but was disquali- fied in the finals for using a scissors kick. Urbana’s four points in the confer- ence meet came from the medley relay. The medley relay team consisted of Phil- lips. breast stroke, Kern, free style, and Moore, back stroke. Kenny Kern was the free style man for Urbana in the medley relay team which took third in the conference. He also swam the for- ty yard dash for Ur- bana, and part of the time swam the hundred yard dis- tance. Marcus Cord was our only diver, and did a good job of it. This was his second year as a varsity swimmer, and al- though he did not place in the confer- ence, he took first in several dual meets. Dyson. Orhiirdl. Hill. Ilmlen, C Gorhiirrit. (SIMi-rxloovi-. GOLF The Urbana golf team completed its second undefeated season. They had four regulars back from last year. They were the two Gerhardts, Hill, and Ilodges. The other two men on the team were: Dyson and Gildersleeve. They held four dual meets, two with Champaign, and two with Danville. They won both of their meets from Champaign by good scores. The scores were 10l -2l and 9-3. They won from Danville the first meet 9-3. and the second meet they took easily by a score of 15-3. In the Big Twelve meet, they had four men eligible for the state contest. One of them however had to lie dropped. In the state contest, Hill shot the first 18 holes in 74. The next day, he shot the course in 79. or five points higher than the previous day. This gave him a score of 153 for the 36 holes, or an average of about four and one-third strokes per hole. That's real golf for anybody. Un- luckily for the team. Hill is graduating this year and will leave a place pretty hard to fill—state champions don’t grow on trees. Next to Hill, Gerhardt was probably the best man on the team. He was several times low score man, and was one of the two others who went to the state. He was one of the men hack from last year. Eddie Hodges was the other man who went to the state. He too was another man hack from last year, and will also be graduating this year. The prospects don’t look so bright for a good golf team next year. The team is lucky to have the Urbana Country Club links to practice on. This is only the third year for golf in Urbana, and we hope that the records our teams have made will encourage more to come out tor the team. Intramural golf tournaments would be a good idea also. ■ GIRL’S BASKETBALL The Girl’s Basketball Tournament in November this year proved to be a very interesting one. The tournament was more successful than usual, and a great deal of interest was shown in basketball this year. The games were played at night, more interest was shown, and larger crowds attended the games than had any previous year. On account of the rules and regulations of the game only the forwards are allowed to shoot the ball into the basket, therefore the teams developed some good passing. Each team played the other team twice. The result of the tournament was: the Sophomores won six games, the Juniors four, the Seniors two and the Fresh- men none. The Sophomores won the tournament and the Juniors came in with a close second. The Sophomore line-up consisted of: Captain Cecelia Sandwell, .Mar- jorie Stephens, and Charlotte Weeks as forwards; Delores Royer, Catherine Dolch. Clarabel Barrick, Lillian Moss, Mary Reynolds and Lucille Waldron as centers; Marjorie Zink. June Mershimer, Dorthea Hogans, and Florence Webber as guards. The Senior team consisted of: Captain, Wilma Brown, Eleanor Nixon, Roberta Elvis, Katherine Shaw, Betty Bauer, Kathleen Norris, Pauline Floro, and Mary Cady. The Junior Team consisted of: Captain Jeanette Weeks, Josephine Bennett, Ellen Rankin, Ruth Cogdal, Thais Gallivan, Alberta Tramp, and Ruth Sinnott. The last but not least is the Freshman line-up consisting of: Captain Ocey Miller. Louise Palmer, Dorothy Cord, June Goble, Mary Tracy and Alice Hatton. At the end of the tournament, the great enthusiasm shown by the girls tends toward a very promising future for the girl’s basketball. To i Mote: Waldron, llognn. Wovk . WoIiImt, Sipv mih.

The baseball practices usually provide for all classes, with practices for at least two weeks. Because of the Washington Pageant, baseball was not given full service. The games this year included single games instead of rounds; that is. only one game was played, the Freshmen playing against the Sophomores, instead of all classes playing against each other. Those enrolled for the Sophomore basketball team are as follows: Lillian Moss, Hilda Beck, Charlotte Weeks, Dorothy Johnson, Sarah Mae Johnson, Helen Longmire. June Mershimer, Marjorie Stephens, Marjory Zink, Izetta Sell, Lucille Waldron, Esther Baker, Cecelia Sandwell. Those on the Freshmen line- up are: Elsie Johnson, Muriel Kring. Dorothy Cord, June Goble, Jean Ilood. Elizabeth Smith, Wilma Marick, Ocey Miller. Jean Nelson, Mildred Palmer. Esther Rutherford, Virginia Shuck, Madeline Shoaf, Catherine Wells, Ruth Spicer, Merna Oesterling, Mary Helen Moss. The games played by these two teams proved to be very successful and also these games showed that the girls know all baseball techniques, even though they had many interruptions in their practices. The Freshman and the Sophomore teams played their baseball games the twenty-third and the twenty-fourth of May. This ended the girls’ sports for the year. Toil llotr: Smith. Mcrrlc. Stmlil.

THE APRIL PAGEANT The annual April pageant, sponsored by the Girls Athletic Association, was held on April 29. in the Urbana High School auditorium. Under the direction of Miss Brownell, the production of “The Romance of Carmelita” was a success. The pageant was divided into four episodes—Celebration of Carmelita's Be- trothal, Carmelita Meets Her Adventure, Capture of Carnielita, and Betrothal of Carmelita and Don Seville. Carnielita, thinking the man whom the King and Queen have ordered her to marry was old and ugly, runs away. While she is away she meets a handsome young man, Don Seville, with whom she falls in love. The King’s attendants find them in a Gypsy camp and bring them back to the castle. Everything ends happily because Don Seville is the one whom Carmelita is to marry. The queen of the pageant, El inore Nixon, was elected by popular vote. The King was Doris Vance. The parts Carmelita and Don Seville were played by Madeline Shoaf and Mary Cady respectively. Josephine Bennett portrayed three different parts, Jester, King of the Gypsies, and the reader before each episode. Ruth Brennen was Queen of the Gypsies. Solo dances which were featured throughout the pageant were by Mary E. Boyd, Josephine Bennett, Bernice Coffman, Ellen Rankin, Elinore Nixon and the crowning of the Queen by Mary E. Blaisdell. Joan Duncombe gave a vocal solo. Those who served on the stage and property committee were Max Meadows, Ruth Fry. .June Goble, Mary L. Strohl, Joan Duncombe, Mary II. Moss. June Mainer, Marjory Zink. Richard Miner, and Charles Moore. Virginia Burnier had charge of the costumes and Jean Gougler the Program. The pianists were Mary Mills and Jessie Murdock. HONOR SOCIETY President—Makif.

THE ECHO STAFF To Don Wikoff, our editor, much credit is due for successfully launching: the Echo through the term 1931-1932. The campaign was put on in a different way than in former years. Each student buying an Activity Ticket received an Echo subscription. The paper was put out regularly, and. with the aid of the students, the staff believe the issues pleased everyone. The staff wishes to express its appreciation to their advisers, Mr. Nolen and Miss Blackard, for their untiring work with them. Although Miss Blackard was new here, she gave many helpful suggestions toward improvements in the paper. Also, the staff thanks all students who contributed articles. The Echo received distinguished ratings this year at the Illinois State High School Press Conference.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL President—A tdrey Fra n k Irice-President—Billie Armstr n ; Secretart — George Gladding Treasurer— Matrice Scii royer In the fall of 1931, each home-room elected a representative for the Urbana High School Student Council. They, in turn, elected the above officers for the year. The duties of the Council members are to do at all times whatever is possible to improve and aid the school. They also explain the activities of the council. This year due to the shifting of home-rooms, some rooms had two or three representatives while others had none. However, all representatives were kept and new ones elected. This gave the council a few more members who were very useful. The Student Council arranged four special assemblies and invited the stu- dent body as guests to the first one. All of them proved very interesting, as well as instructive. Top How: Yapp. Iyonjc.

The first big event of the year was a banquet for all football boys which was given by the Chamber of Commerce. The boys were highly entertained by Tug Wilson from Northwestern University. A semi-annual initiation of new lettermen of football was held northeast of Urbana in a small woods. It was an occasion that the boys will long remember. After the initiation a bonfire was made and a supper of marshmallows and weiners was served. The new lettermen were also initiated in the assembly. The students enjoyed the antics which the boys had to do at the command of the Presi- dent, Jack Fuzak. Those which were most entertaining are the following: George Pennell singing “When the Moon Comes over the Mountain ’ Buddy Shroyer imitating the teachers, Howard Schaudt measuring the stage with a weiner. and Tarpcnning and Phillips staging a boxing match, blind-folded. The initiation of the basketball men was held later. All new lettermen of the year signed the “IT” Club Roster in an assembly. The “IT” Club dance which was sponsored later in the year was a success. All of the decorations and work was done by the members of the club. Top Rote: Phillips. Pennell. IIikIxw. Hamilton. Mehncrt. Zink. Waldron. Second Rote: Simpson. Sours. Thomas. I’ay no. Lnvonhairon.

In addition to these there was a Depression Dance. George Washington Hop, St. Patricks Hop. April Fool Hop, and a breakfast given by the Juniors for the Seniors. Senior Day is the greatest event that the Seniors have. All dressed up like little children, they furnish a great deal of fun for themselves as well as other members of the school. This club manages to have one big social event a month as you may notice by the above list. They also plan pep assemblies before important football and basketball games. Their little plays serve to amuse the students as well as to arouse their school spirit. This year has been very successful for the girls in spite of the depression. Top Hotc: Peek. Polstor, Wphtxr.

Since our reorganization last fall, our club has been known as Phi Epsilon. The name which we have chosen stands for our motto, “Phos esto,” which means “Let there be light.” We have selected as our colors purple and gold, and as our flower, the purple and the yellow iris. Our thirty-nine members have enjoyed monthly meetings when we had covered dish luncheons or box socials. After a social hour programs or slides dealing with Roman life and customs were presented. The students of the Latin classes learned a great deal from these special programs which they would not have had time for in the class room. Students who had taken Latin before, but who did not take Latin this year could also he members of the club. The Phi Epsilon like a few other organizations of this high school had a pass word this year. Besides their new motto and colors, the club adopted a new con- stitution. This newly reorganized club with the help of Miss Kirk, their adviser, ex- perienced a very successful year. sixth Itote: I earth. II. Smith. lairch. .Meenneh. ('ochrun, Be via, Vun Inventor.

This society has made a complete reorganization of its club this year. A constitution has been written, printed, and framed. It has an organiza- tion that is quite different from other societies in school. The outstanding feature of this newly reorganized society is the Executive Council. This Council is the governing body for the entire club. The council is com posts! of the following members: President, David Lincicome; June Mer- shimer, James Prevett, Virginia Burnier, Claralouise Slack, Lillian Moss, Chris- tine Buchholtz, and Dorothy Johnson. The constitution has not been put into full effect this year but at the begin- ning of next year the club hopes to bring it into full swing.

GERMAN CLUB President —Russell Hackleman Vice-President—Paul Simmix Secretary—Al Smith Treasurer—John Williams This year, as well as since the club’s organization in 1920, Miss Ricketts has been the efficient adviser. Sam Current was the first president and was re-elected in 1930. Last year John Bourgois was president, and this year Russel Hackle- man was elected to this office. Several meetings this year have had very interesting programs. At the first meeting the members were told the purpose of the club, which is to create an interest in the German language and learn of the customs of the German people. After this the officers were elected for the school year. At another meet- ing John Ross gave readings from the great German poet Schillar. John learned most of his German by teaching himself. Afterwards songs in German were sung. The Christmas season was a busy one for the club. Several baskets were made up and distributed to needy families. This custom has been followed for the four years of the club’s organization. Further, an assembly was staged in conjunction with the Latin and French Clubs in which Christmas songs were sung. The club also enjoyed a bunco party at which German cookies and tea were served. The club hopes to have as fine a group next year as this year. Auf Wiedershen Fifth How: Morgan. Meenach. Klinpel.

IOTA ALPHA GAMMA Preside nt—Kexneth Thomas Vice-President—Paul Simpson Sec'y.-Treasurer—Betty Ann Knight Faculty Adviser—Miss Margaret Mowery Iota Alpha Gamma, perhaps better known as the Art Club, was organized several years ago to foster a better appreciation of art. a knowledge of the vari- ous branches of art. and a wider acquaintance with good artists and sculptors and their methods. Programs were planned thoughout the year with these aims of the club in mind. Membership in the club may be obtained by any student who is taking or has taken a course in art. It a student has not studied art, he may, by proving his interest and enjoyment in things artistic, become a welcome member. I lie social functions of the club are always looked forward to with eagerness. Our first party was held early in the fall. It was a cabaret party held in the cafe- teria which was dressed up in true “night club” style. The club members and their guests spent a very pleasant evening in dancing and playing games. Later in the year the club sponsored a swimming party which was followed by a pot- luck supper. During the latter part of the year the art classes gave a puppet show to all grade children for the benefit of the Rosemary. The club had a very successful and enjoyable year. T°P Rote: Collins.

A group of students interested in science met together and formed the Science Club under the sponsorship of Mr. Tilbury. The club gained in prominence and membership. Many interesting meetings were held in which Scientific talks were given by men from the University. Pofessor Ilackleman gave a talk on “The Soy Bean and its Products.” Mr. Keegan spoke on the making of paper, and Doctor Sisson of the department of Chemistry talked on the X-ray. A number of field trips were taken, to the astronomical observatory; WILL, the University radio station; and the Leavitt Manufacturing Company. fifth How: Heater, Walker. Gu.vnn. Meenaeh. O'ltonnell.

Uni- versity girls who act as advisers. The purpose of the club is to further the de- velopment of the body, mind, and spirit of all the members. Their motto is: ‘‘To find and give the best in life.” The first meeting of the year was an assembly program at which the above officers were introduced. The Girl Reserves and Ili-Y’s held a joint weiner roast, which is an annual event, Oct. 28, 1931, in Crystal Lake Park. Many events took place in November. First, on Nov. 11, 1931 Mr. Cha. a Chinese student, gave an interesting talk on his home country and sang some Chinese songs in his native language. On November 14, 1931 the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y’s of all three schools held a party at the University High School gym. The girls perform many charitable duties among which is the providing of the annual Thanksgiving basket for a poor family. The annual Girl Reserve—Hi-Y Goodwill banquet was held in March this year. This banquet was for boys and girls from the three high schools of the Twin Cities. Urbana was very well epresented. Top Row: Young. Johnson. 11«• i Irix. Webber. Little. K. Hood. Gouglcr. I«oncmlrc.

To become eligible for Lorelei, a girl must pass the following tests: to swim five lengths of the pool; do three dives; swim three strokes for form; bob ten times in the deep end, and do a surface dive. A candidate must also make a grade of 85. Two tryouts were given this year. Those who became members after the first tryout were: Christine Buchholz. June Goble, and Portia Allyn. At the second tryout Thais Gallivan. Elizabeth Smith, and Wilma Brown became mem- bers. The girls practiced Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week. The Lorelei had a party in May with Jeanette Weeks in charge. This year the members were invited by the boys swimming team to a swimming party given in the U. II. S. pool. The G. A. A.'s of U. II. S. sponsor the Lorelei. The girls who participate in this club earn a credit toward their “U.“ The adviser and director is Marian Brownell. Top How: .1. Weeks. W. Brown. Biuhlml . Sin not t. J.

Alp Robin Hood—Jean Iloon Scribe—June Goble Lieutenant—Mrs. Virginia Bili.s The Girl Scout troop of Urhana High wasn’t a very large one; in fact, it was so small that they joined forces with the University High troop. The Girl Scouts’ organization is called the Robin Hood. This has been the name of the troop for several years. The troop was divided into two patrols with patrol leaders and corporals at the head of each division. This club has unique names for its offi- cers: Robin Hood is the president; the Scribe, the secretary; the Lieutenant, the instructor; and the Captain, the adviser. Throughout the year, the girls have enjoyed numerous events. Some of the most outstanding were the following: a treasure hunt, an all-dav hike to the Girl Scout Cabin, and a skating party. The meetings were held on Thursdays from 6:45 to 7 :45 at the home of their leader, Mrs. Alp. During the last few months, the girls spent their time making peasant blouses or lamp-shades. First-aid was also taught in the latter part of the school year. The Girl Scouts have for their motto “Be Pepared,” and for their goal— the development of character and pursuit of happiness. With the aid of Miss Wood, the girls have enjoyed a pleasant and successful year. Top Note: Taylor. Wood. Stownrt. Nir t Note: M. II. Mown. J. Goble, J. Hood, K. Dolrh. HI-Y CLUB President—Ai.

This organization is known as the Ili-Y Club and is sponsored by the Young Men’s Christian Association at the University of Illinois. The club elected the above officers for the year. The purpose of this club was to create, maintain, and extend throughout the club and school higher standards of living. The meetings were held every Wednesday at 7:()() 1 . M. The meeting con- sisted of a business hour which was a lecture from our leader, and was followed bv an athletic hour. The club organized a basketball team which played several games. They played with Champaign and Danville. The last event, which also was a success, was a combined meeting of the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y Clubs of the Twin Cities. It was held in the form of a banquet at the Wesley Foundation during the latter part of March. Second Itotr: II. Simpson. A. Smith. Frame. Frevette. Flrnt Ifote: It .v«l. ( or«l. Gh-inly. Greaves. MUSIC CAPTAIN OVERGARD For the past two years Captain G. T. Overgard lias been the musical director of the orchestra and the hand in Urbana High School. He has spent a great deal of time and effort in building these organizations so that they might provide en- joyment and entertainment for the students and for the community. Much of the credit for the attainment of these organizaions is due to Captain Overgard. He has worked faithfully for Urbana High School, and to him we owe an inexpressible amount of gratitude. THE BAND President—Jack Kirkpatrick Vice-President—Albert Smith Secretary—Harold Smith Treasurer—David 11 ubbard This year’s band contains ninety-five members directed by Captain G. T. Overgard. During the first semester, three concerts were given. The second semester also was devoted to concert work. The contest pieces were taken from the group including: Sakuntala, Allegro Con Grazia from Tsch- aikowskey, Sixth Symphony, and the Unfinished Symphony by Schubert. Under the new judging system, our band was selected as one of the best in the state. Fimt How: Kirkpatrick, Wilson. Philips. Williams. Paul. J. Hubhard, Carroll. McMillan, J. Dolch. i I leronymous.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB President—Mary Elizabeth Blaikdkll Vice-President—Marie Hogans Secretarii-Treasurer— Ruth W yn i xger Li11rarian—Martha Webber The Girls’ Glee Club of this year, under the direction of Captain Overgard. was unusually large, consisting of almost sixty members. There were many good voices in it and much was accomplished. In addition to singing at various or- ganizations in Urbana, the Glee Club went to Covington, Indiana, and to the Big Twelve Contest at Lincoln. As is the usual custom, they sang for the Baccalaureate. During the first semester, a sextette composed of Barbara Miller, Joan Dun- combe, Martha Webber, Mary Cady, Wilma Brown, and Katherine Smith, and a triple-trio composed of Betty Bauer, Peggy Price, Naomi Steffy, Marie Hogans. Juanita Bottenberg. Jessie Murdock, Ruth Wyninger, Gertrude Parker, and Harriet Krabbe were organized under the direction of Barbara Miller and Betty Bauer. Besides the enjoyment derived from their various appearances in public, the girls feel that they have received a knowledge and appreciation of good music that will prove invaluable later on. Altogether the work this year has been of an entirely satisfactory character. Ton Row: Guard. Sell. K. Smith. Hauer. Strohl. Goble. M. Smith. Third Row: Cady. Fry. Mill . Meyer� . Crate. M. Illlburn.

ENSEMBLES As an advertising feature in Urbana’s Christinas week, eight small groups containing members of the Urbana High’s Concert Band, impersonating various foreign bands, held a contest. They were judged on musicianship, characteriza- tion of the people they represented, cleverness of their act, and their choice of Christmas songs suitable to their nation. The contest was held in an assembly, Monday, December 21. The Negro band won the contest by a narrow margin. The following day the hands played in all the down-town stores. Instrumental ensembles were encouraged more this year than previously. Those now existing are the following: Trombone Quartet—The members were Robert Hursch, first trombone; Ralph Overman, second trombone; Robert Moore, third tombone; Robert Wag- goner, fourth trombone. They played “Patpourri a us der Aper Martha” by Fla tow as a contest number. Jiraxs Sextet—The members were Joe Hindman, first cornet; Millard Gar- vin. second cornet; Edward Moore, fluegel horn; David Hubbard, baritone; Al- bert Smith, baritone; and Paul Brown, sousaphone. Their contest piece was the “Duet” from “Norma's Dreams” by Verdi. Saxophone Sextet—The members were Donald Alberts, first alto; Junior Riley, second alto; Joe Morlock, third alto; Robert Gundlock, tenor; Dale Har- vey, baritone; and Jack Elvis, bass.

Since there is no National Band Contest this year, all band members in the state were working especially hard on ensembles and solos. Competition was keen, both in ensembles and solos, and in bands. The band will go to the National Band Contest to be held next year in conjunction with the World’s fair, pro- viding they hold their place in the state contest next year. The ensembles entered were a Trombone Quartet composed of Robert Ilursh, Ralph Overman, Robert Waggoner, and Robert Moore; a Brass Sextette com- posed of Joe Hindman, Millard Garvin, Edward Moore, David Hubbard, Albert Smith, and Paul Brown; a Saxophone Sextet composed of Donald Alberts, Junior Riley, Joe Morlock, Robert Gundlock, Dale Ilarvey, and Jack Elvis; a Woodwind Sextet composed of Allen Harris, Virginia Apperson, Maxine Kirby, Rachel Smith, Portia Allyn, and Philip Hagan; a French Horn Quartet com- posed of Rol ert Yapp, Donald Oehmke, Bill De Turk, and George McCoy; a Clarinet Quartet whose members consisted of Everett Wilson, Lewis Zerby, Robert Metcalf, and Ivan Crawford; and a Flute Quartet composed of Billy Browder, Billy Carroll, John Dolch, and Harriettc McMillin. Those placing first, enabling them to go to the National Contest at Marian, Indiana, May 20, 21 are the Trombone Quartet and the Horn Quartet. Out of quite a number of good soloists we have three who go to the National, Yapp and DeTurk on the French horn and Kirkpatrick on the Clarinet. There were a good number of second places but only firsts go to the National. HORN QUAKTKT McCoy. Ocbmke, Ih-Tnrk. Yiipp. MRS. HAMILTON Mrs. Hamilton, the instructor in dramatics and public speaking at Urbana High School, is truly a friend of all who know her. The members of her classes learn not only the principles of speaking and acting before an audience, but also how to apply these same principles to incidents in real life. To those who have taken classwork there, the Tower Playhouse is more than just an ordinary classoom. It is a place where friends work out common problems and difii- culties with the aid of Mrs. Hamilton. It is to the excellent Mrs. Hamilton coaching of Mrs. Hamilton that we owe the repeated suc- cess of the plays given at our school. THE LION AND THE MOUSE Looking! Reading! Hunting! Play after play was read by our marvelous instructor, Mrs. Hamilton, in order to find a play for the dramatics department to give. It was not because the students were not capable of giving the plays which she had to choose from, but rather to find a play which the public would enthusiastically receive. The play that was chosen was “The Lion and the Mouse,” a four-act play by Charles Klein. Those who saw the play will agree with me that the “Mouse” known as Shir- ley Rossmore, played by Fern Nelson, and the “Lion” played by John Peacock and known as .John Burkett Ryder could not have done the wonderful piece of acting together had it not been for the able support of all the rest of the cast. Each and every person connected with the play is to be congratulated for his fine co-operation. Other characters in the cast who have not been mentioned are: Eugene Butts, Newton Walker, John Williams, Mabel Dyson. Vivian Ball, Joe Hindman, George Pennell, Alberta Tramp, Betty Thomas, Bernice Quinton, Ruth Wyninger, Robert Frame, Budgie Sperling, Dwayne Dixon, and lone McGahey. THE NUT FARM “The Nut Farm,” a three act play, by John 0. Brownell, was presented as the Junior Class Play, on November 18, 1931 The proceeds derived were used for the financing of the Junior-Senior Reception. The east was as follows: Mrs. Barton, Josephine Bennett; Willie Barton, Bruce Ryder; Rovert Bent, Maurice Schaudt; Ezra Sliscomb, Stewart Edgar; Helen Bent, Dorothy Roberts; Agatha Sliscomb, Marion Wingfield; Hamilton T. Holland, George Gladding; J. Clarence Biddeford, Rex Smith; Harold Van Horton. Joe Hindman; Hilda, Barbara Miller. This play was a comedy centering about the Barton family, consisting of M illie, a most ambitious young chap who yearned to be a film-comedy producer, his married sister, Helen, whose husband had thirty thousand dollars and who was ambitious to become a movie star, and their mother. Helen’s husband, who had sold a grocery store with the intention of buying a nut farm in California, was more or less the motive of the plot, for it was his thirty thousand that en- abled Helen to get a chance to be a star. However, by the time a slick film pro- ducer, his own wife and brother-in-law got through with that thirty thousand, all Boh had left was a memory and not a happy one. Fortunately Willie saved the day and the money by a clever bit of movie magic and everything ended happily. The coach and director, Miss Agnes C. King, deserve much credit for the play’s success, as well as the Junior Class, for its co-operation given. The play was admirably presented before a full house. Character parts were taken by Josephine Bennett and Stewart Edgar. The title roles were taken by Bruce Ryder and Maurice Schaudt. The feminine leads were by Dorothy Roberts and Marion Wingfield. George Gladding as a slick film producer, Barbara Miller as the maid, Joe Hindman as the bored leading man, and Rex Smith as the scenario writer completed the east and their acting was commendable. It was the initial appearance of the entire cast in a major dramatic production. THE THIRTEENTH CHAIR A new dramatics organization has been started by the alumni of the Urbana High School and is known as the Hamiltonian Club. This organization is very fortunate in having Mrs. Hamilton as its coach and adviser. They gave the “Thirteenth Chair” for their first presentation. The acting of the play was especially good, for all the actors and actresses have had dramatics in high school and have been in several plays. Eugenia Free- man, who does straight acting, played opposite Ruth Cramner Boucher who does character acting. Both were very good and put their whole spirit into their acting. Ruth Cramner Boucher acted the part of Madame who could do things that no one else could do. In a good mystery story we always have our de- tectives. Edwin Martin and Edward Wyninger played these parts. William Ravner. although he didn’t have very much to do, showed that he could still be the lover that he was in the old days. Donald Webster, who was the owner of the house, acted the part of being quite nervous under the circumstances that had befallen his home. His wife, Frances Wilson Kennedy, did her share as the hos- tess of the party. The murderer was played by Ralph Porter. Jack Noecker was again the faithful butler. Other members of the cast were Louis Douglas. Fern Burton, Miriam Noel, Dean Bryant, Gladys Freeman, Alvin Bray, Mary Susan Anderson, and Conrad Kemp. The scenery added to the effect of the play, the walls being hung with black and the woodwork in silver. This modernistic scheme and effective scenery was worked out by George Anderson and Guy Meadows. Each member of the cast played his or her part very well from the most minor character to the lead. The play was very successful and ranks among the best productions given at the Urbana High School. VARSITY DEBATE Urbana’s varsity debating team has been more active this year than for several years past. The affirmative team is composed of Lawrence Greenwell, Margaret Siler, and Eugene Butts, with Rex Roberts as alternate. The mem- bers of the negative team are: John Peacock, Mary Fletcher, and Eleanor Fruit, with Gayle Hollingsworth as alternate. The question for debate this year was “Resolved: that the Several States should Adopt Compulsory Unemployment Insurance.” This has been a ques- tion of vital interest to everyone. The affirmative team won their debate with Champaign. They debated well but were defeated by Mattoon here in our auditorium. They were also defeated by Peoria Manual. Although the members of the negative team worked hard and presented good cases, they were unable to win their three debates. They were defeated by Decatur. Danville, and Pekin. Several members of the teams were inexperienced in debating, and although defeated, they made a fine showing. The members of these teams deserve a great deal of credit. They worked hard for their school and received almost no support from the student body. Credit is also due Mr. Alley, the debate coach, who gave of his time to help the teams. Debate is one of the finest forms of competition found in high school. It is a thing of value in every phase of life whether it be in a home, in school, or out in the business world. The members of the teams write their own speeches, work for perfection in delivery, and gain some extemporaneous speaking from the work in refutation. The logical reasoning and coherent arguments which are cultivated are an asset to any individual. lloUhiKswnrth. Greenwell. Fletcher, I'rarock. Alley, BiitlH, Slier. Fruit. One hundred firrnfyfive THE FIRST NIGHT The play, “The First Night,” a mystery melo-drama, was presented by the Senior class under the direction of our Dramatic instructor, Mrs. Hamilton. The play proved to be a great success. “The First Night” is a play within a play. The inner one is enacted on the stage proper, supposed to be the stage of the auditorium of Sing Sing Prison at Ossining. The plot concerns itself with the story of a wealthy patron of the arts who was particularly interested in helping poor and inexperienced de- votees of the theatre, provided that they were beautiful. Frederic Lee portrayed the part of the wealthy patron. He is shot and all the clues point to the brother of his latest protege, who is arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. The protege and brother were played by Fern Nelson and David Lincicome re- spectively. His sister does some sleuthing and runs down some clue which seems to point to the real murderer. The sister works her evidence into the form of a play in which she plays the heroine and presents it before an audience which include the Governor of the state, played bv Paul Simpson. The play unravels the perplexing mystery in such convincing fashion that the Governor is happy to halt the execution of an innocent man. The cast was as follows: Howard Schaudt, Fern Nelson. Mary Cady, Ber- nice Quinton, Eleanor Nixon, Betty Thomas, Bill Hamilton, Paul Simpson, John Peacock, Eugene Butts, David Lincicome, Fred Lee, John Amerman, Marcus Cord. Pete Waldron, Rex Roberts, John Williams, Dick Childs, George Phillips, Harold Burgois, Don Kirby, Gayle Hollingsworth. Don Silver. Charles Porter, Gordon Evans, and Jay Worrel. THE MAN ON THE BOX “The Man on the Box,” a comedy, was presented by the Hamiltonian Players in the U. H. S. Auditorium on April 8, for the benefit of the band. The cast included: George Anderson, ‘30; Edmund Wyninger, ’30; Ralph Porter. ‘27; Jack Noecker, ’32; Louis Douglas, ’27; Dean Bryant, ’30; Alvin Bray, ’30; John Williams, ‘32; Ed Martin, '27; John Heimbaugh, 28; Phillip Hagan, ‘34; Catherine Weber, ’30; Fern Burton, 0; Frances Kennedy, ’27; Mary Susan Anderson, ’31. “The Man on the Box” is an old play, the action of which centers around Lieutenant Worburton who, loving a practical joke, makes a sad mistake in play- ing one on his sister, Nancy, and finds himself face to face with Miss Betty Annesley whom he has adored from a distance and sworn that he would marry. Lieut. Worburton, meeting Miss Annesley in the garb of a groom, which is all a part of the joke, assumes an alias and she, also being somewhat of a joker, hires the wealthy lieutenant as her own groomsman. He accepts and then the comedy is truly in full swing. George Andeson, who made his dramatic debut during his sophomore year in high school, entertained an appreciative audience by his antics as the gentle- manly groom. Catherine Weber returned to our stage as the Lady who kept the Man on the Box—sometimes against her own convictions—but who, knowing Catherine, would doubt that he remained on the box and liked it!

Everyone rushes down to the cafeteria from which deli- cious, mouth-watering odors have been rising the whole morning long. Every- thing you like is lined up before you in colorful array. And such a variety! But of course ice-cream is the best seller by far. It can safely be said that one-half the student body eat at school. The de- pression, however, has left its mark here as well as elsewhere. The mild winter, too. was responsible for a considerable decrease, as were the plays and ten cent basketball games for which everyone saved their lunch money. But the cafeteria is still running strong. There are eight student helpers and three cooks— Mesdames Walcott, Oliverson, and Schaede—who should be familiar to you as they have lent their services to the cafeteria for several years. The cafeteria is not run for profit. This accounts for the astonishingly low cost of food. The lunch room is run for the benefit of those who are in a hurry. It is not the aim of the managers to sell food any cheaper there, than in the cafeteria. The first purpose of the cafeteia is to give a hot nourishing lunch to the students. There is no profit in it for those connected with it. It has become indispensable to those who patronize it regularly. McALLISTER'S DEPARTM ENT STORE 113-115 West Main Street Vrbana, Illinois H. H.

THE CO-OP Wright Green Streets One hundred thirty- ecen THE PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1932 (Continued from jxige 3K) Jack Fuzak is a rising young lawyer in Mayview. Anyone too scrupulous to commit suicide directly will do well by visiting him. Katlivrn Plymire is training monkeys. She is also trying to train George Pennell. After a steady courtship of twenty-nine years, three months, four days, and twenty minutes Betty West and Joe Morlock broke their engagement, and she married our former secretary, Edwin Hodges. Laurence Green well exercises his oratorical ability by driving down the alleys calling, ‘ Bags! Rags! Papers and the like.” Wilma Brown, Mary Blaisdell, and Mary Cady tried for the leading roles in the Chicago Civic Opera Company, but were rejected on the pretext that they would make much better ushers. Gilbert Calder, James Fagley, and Joe Dodge have been elected members of the Board of Education in Urbana. The standards they uphold are longer hours, more subjects, longer lessons, and a tenth hour. The Gold Dust Twins, Chuck Wert , and Buddy Shroyer, are billed for a three day run at the Varsity Theater in Champaign. Carman Teele is now wearing two diamond rings; but the last one did not come from the Medicine Show. Fern: That finishes my list. What did you find Ruth? Ruth: Fern Dev is running a Turkish bath in Borneo with the able as- sistance of Wilda Warrick and Marie Hogans. Olive Crawford and Martha Roney are understudies to the famous Duncan Sisters. Bernice Quinton is the fascinating nightclub hostess of the Night Owl Cabaret in San Francisco. Her assistances are Ihleen Tramp and Mildred Me- Devitt, who are also check girls. Jack Kirkpatrick, after devoting four solid years to the study of Jessie James. A1 Capone, and “Diamond Leg Jack,” has entered the arena of law. “Zoom Zoom” Simpson has gained world wide fame as a light-limbed Mata- dore in Spain. Pauline Floro and Ruth Leonard are president and vice-president respec- tively of the Chesterfield Cigarette Company. They are accorded the honor of being the first women executives in any tobacco firm. Wayne Lavenhagen has finally accomplished the impossible. After many long and serious attempts duing his study periods, he at last won the lily-white hand of Grace Plotner. John Peacock has won great recognition as a writer for “Photoplay” and other movie magazines. He deals especially with such subjects as “The Art of Make-Up.” Harvey Scamahorn, while working in his laboratory, accidently let an ex- periment explode. Upon his recovey he was so extremely handsome that he has made millions of dollars performing the explosion for aspirants to movie fame, such as Betty Bauer, Dorothy Edwards, and Catherine Corkery. Clarence Gildersleeve is in Hollywood playing doubles for William Powell. Naomi Steffy is travelling through the country preaching prison reform. Roberta Elvis has won international fame for her modernistic painting of Washington Crossing the Deleware. They say if you turn it around, it shows him coming back. One hundred thirty right .Miriam Savage and Lottie Byers, Senators from Illinois, have become very popular in their respective parties due to their arguments on the proper dress for women in the United States. Elton Hill has found employment under the ex-Kaiser clipping coupons from his Liberty Bonds. Elton is sadly weakened by his overwork. Cleo Booker, Richard Bowers, and Selwyn Funk have formed a syndicate— a conspiracy to extend the modest business established by Captain Kidd. Gayle Hollingsworth occupies one of the highest positions in the University of Illinois, that of sweeping the roof of the Armory every Monday. He is ably assisted in the tedious duty by II. C. Davis who daintily manipulates a dust pan. Thurman Sears is now chief Draft Clerk at the Busey’s State Bank. He regulates the doors and windows. Mabel Dyson has taken Eleanor Fruit to Texas to live on her farm. They have hired Walter Greishimer for chief cowboy. Charles Porter has achieved his ambition as a social butterfly and if one would go to Chicago they would see him fitting about from place to place. Melvin McLaughlin is now chief swine-tender in the stockvords of Urbana, and it seems that this position has made him famous. George Phillips is at the asylum in Kankakee. He went dippy thinking he was a shiek. After having interviewed the members of the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-two, we are fully convinced that our class is well represented in all walks of life.

Besides the splendid program itself, this event was interesting from the standpoint of being a real project in the cooperation of all the schools of the community. The program was as follows: FATHER OF THE LAND WE LOVE “First in war, first in peace, First in the hearts of his country men.’’ PROLOGUE “Your flag and my flag!

Or are you Just so awful slow?— I began to think you didn't hear. Or that your heart was filled with fear This hatchet here might make you weep— Or—maybe you had gone to sleep. As once you did in 306 And found yourself in a woeful fix! Not just asleep—but what was more. They tell me you began to snore— Made such a noise that poor Miss B— looked up in great surprise, to see Just what the fuss was all about; Then said right quick. Well Maurice Schaudt. Why with your sleep make such ado. You have to wake up Junior too?” Junior: What’s this 1 see with stove-black hair? And two brown eyes so engaged in a stare? Those barn-paint lips are never sad. Inside those lips—a toothpaste ad! What are you representing now? The student council. I'll allow. Or hunting “Did you know's per- chance. Or advertising an S. K. dance. What e'er it is it can't be much. Some day you’ll get yourself “In Dutch If silence were golden. I'm sad to say. You'd surely be poor to your dying day! There's one thing adds to your private lures. That perpetual-motion Jaw of yours!! But go ahead. I've had my say. You could probably talk for a year and a day. But in case you don’t, you’ll find me right here. I'm out of the way, so throw it in gear!!! 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 as hard as you will! I'll promise you Without ado. To give you a better one still. Junior: Jack Alexander Fuzak This man has been misnamed. I fear. Some say he looks like Paul Revere. Some say he looks like Shakespeare, though. From the top of his head to the tip of his toe. Actors have tried again and again To do Lady Godive as she should have been. But Jack did her once right here in our school. It happened down here in the 'ole swimmin’ pool. It seems that one night when practice was o’er The boys were all tired and hot as it were; Jack said, “A shower is far too tame for me. I'm going in swimming, just you wait and see. The swimming team's there. I hear them now.” He tore off his clothes and left with a bow. The boys stood there waiting, eight seconds or ten. But Jack barely got in when he came out again. A shriek from inside told the story too true. Why—the team is not in there, is all that he said. And to this very day. his face is still red. Senior: Robert Walter Frame. We have heard you've been so meek in All the plays when you've been Deacon.— So stern of face and stride so stately. None so solemn have we seen lately! Tis fine that you are such an actor. In many plays you are a factor. You help them out when they’re in lurches. Even Ladies' Aids at churches! But we have heard you wouldn’t risk it To try to separate the biscuits.— But grabbed them both, and then you ate them. Murmuring you would surely rate them High enough to be delicious. And please, they must not be sus- picious. You enjoyed them.—You were afraid-er- You would not insult a I adysaider. Junior: Edwin Russell Hodges The ball game was all over. The night we played Mattoon; And Eddie was so hungry He had to eat right soon. The crowd went to the candy store. Said Edwin, “I could lick. And thoroughly enjoy it. Some Icecream on a stick. The clerk replied. We have none such; I’m sure your head is thick.— For who in the world has ever heard. Of ice-cream on a stick? What have you then upon a stick? Said Ed, down in Mattoon!” Why.” said the clerk, Just what you have. That’s nothing but a broom. Senior: Ernest Jewett Mehnert. Lanky, lean, and somewhat green. Altho his hair was red . On foot-ball field, he did not yield. Much sign he had a head. But as time Hew, we all soon knew. When they started basket-ball. That he could do a thing or two.— He had no fear at all! When on the track, he shows no lack Of skill to hurl or run. When the classes meet, with his two feet He’s there in all the fun. When the senior side took him for a ride He was quiet as a mouse— When they put him out with ne'er a thought. 'Twas Just a block to his house! Junior: Mary Virginia Cady. Mary has a notion You really shouldn’t tell. Or let a boy suspect it. If you like him very well. You’d better keep him guessing. Nor ever let him know. That he has a special stand-in. That you like him for a beau! Her air of cold indifference Is Just skin deep. I fear. Or else it’s merely rumor That lately I did hear! ’Twas in her auto that they rode. When with Bill she had a date. ’Twas for a high school party. So they were out. quite late! Then Mary drove around, they say. And left Bill at his home. And tho’ ’twas after midnight. She went on home—alone! Senior: Margaret Price Please let me go. was Peggy's plea. “I’ll be so good a girl. I’ve been sick so long you see. I need a little whirl. Well, then, sweet child. said Mrs. P. “Just one night out of seven. But my dear child. I’ll punish thee. If thou’rt not in by ’leven. Peggy promised she would be. And gave her oath upon it. But how can one give surety For an old Ford car. Doggone it! They left the party, they agree. In plenty time to get there. But the gas ran out. and so you see, Twas for an hour they set there. Twas full of fright that mother P. Heard the clock strike one— She nearly lost her head at three When Peggy wasn't home. “But then our tire blew out. said she, Of trouble we had more— Please, mother, don't be mad at me”— When she came in at four. Junior: Bernice Yetive Quinton Her locks of shining golden hair Demand of her much time and care. So much that everybody knows. She has no time to buy her clothes.— But looks around her here at school. In auditorium, gym. or pool,— If a sweater she could see. On boy or girl, as chance may be: She walks right up without aid. Be the sweater brown or blue. And says to him. look here, my son. If you don't care. I'll put that on. She pulls it off right then and there, And pulls it o’er her golden hair. This might happen any day. And then that sweater’s there to stay. Senior: William Ernest DeTurk O, Billy played his old French horn. In the orchestra all state. But was a laddie all forlorn. At a little later date. He'd gone a traipsing ’round with Bob. When the concert was all o'er. But from his heart he heaved a sob. And then he sighed some more. For his French horn had disappeared. Somewhere upon the way. Some awful thief, he surely feared. On him a trick did play. They got the Captain out of bed. They made a frantic search. They e’en called out police, ’twas said— But were all left in the lurch. No horn was found; and after one. When Bill came in his door. There sat his horn, in state alone. In the middle of the floor. With widened eyes, and half in fright. He said. “Well. I'll be switched! When Bob and I came by tonight. That instrument we ditched! Junior: Mary Josephine Scovill. My darling Jo, I love you so— With your eyes of brown. My dearest Jo. I only know. You're the sweetest girl in town.” Owe hurt tixt forty-Jour 'Twas such a note that some J wrote. Addressed to Mary J., I hate to quote this anecdote Of what happened on that day. The note fell out. as she danced about. And lay there on the floor. She gave a shout, and in full rout. She made straight for the door. This little note that one J wrote Was torn to shreds, I hear— And we have learned that the rest burned. She has nothing more to fear! Senior: Augustus Howard Radebaugh. Jr. His dad and mom went out one night. While Gussie stayed alone— Hut just to scare away the fright He used the telephone. ‘•Come over gang, the coast is clear, We'll have a little smoker; Just hurry up. get over here. Anti then we’ll play some poker.” The fun began, the air was blue. The fumes kept getting thicker. Each boy tried out what he could do. Rut each kept getting sicker. At last Gus said. There comes my dad. And mother, too. I’ll bet,— They mustn't know that I've been bad. Come, hide your cigarettes! Mother R. cleaned house next day. Found stubs of every sort. Of Chesterfields or Camels, say, Heneath the davenport. Junior: Robert William Schumacher Twelve senior lads, a Hupmohile. A bumpy country road. Four boys upon the running-board. “Come all —the senior code! A sudden swerve, a loosened hold. A plunge through blackened space. Two summer-saults in mid-air turned. A landing on his face! A mile of bandage on his head. A turban on his dome.— His face a painted Indian's. With a pint of mercurochronie. A lesson learned to ride inside. A doctor bill to pay,— Three day’s vacation out of school. A hard earned holiday! Senior: Earl Meenach. O. this young fellow so gawky Thinks he’s awfully foxy,— He's so much in love With his work with the glove. He could fight a whole army of Coxey. But when the class scrap was in season Earl had a mighty good reason, He'd broken his toe. He’d have us all know,— To sit on the side was so pleasin'. To Junior Olympics he'll go. Earl says, himself, that it's so. Rut when it comes time. I'll bet you a dime He'll have broken another toe! Junior: Marcus F. Cord. Old Darwin had a theory About the human race. From monkeys they’d decended.— Rut he ne'er made out a case. Rut did you see the scrap that night. Around the old flag pole. When the juniors-seniors fought it out. To get the flag—their goal. The seniors hoisted Marcus up. The juniors grabbed in vain. They couldn't even touch him— Nor get a hard-hold gain. The way he shinnied up that pole Was like a little ape— He mimmicked one. so very true. He left us all agape! Too bad old Darwin wasn’t there. For them he’d surely know. That his old monkey theory. Really might be so. Senior: Dwayne Frederick Dixon A famous lad. so we’ve been told. A queer little bird is he— He spent three months and maybe more A sitting in a tree! He may not play at football. Rut he manages the team. And he can wrestle with the best. In tennis lie’s supreme! The spirit shining through his eyes. We’ve never seen the like. Of friendliness, and courage too— That’s why we're fond of Spike! Junior: Maurice Johnson Shroyer It long has been the custom To end up all our roasts. To choose some worthy senior And offer him a toast. We've chosen Ruddy Shroyer For his principles so true; Because he’s always faithful In whate’er he has to do. If it’s on the foot-ball field Or on the basket floor. He gives his best, where’er he is.— And no one could ask more. And when it comes to lessons. He is not afraid of work; The daily task, as it comes along He was never known to shirk. His kindly smile and greeting. His response to every call. Show loyalty to team and school. And friendliness to all. And so we toast you. “Buddy. And wish you all good cheer. We feel our school's been better Because you have been here! One hundred forty-fire Senior: You’ve done your best. I will admit. The foibles of my class to hit. We've each of us filled our boast. And we have given roast for roast. I hope that you’ll not take amiss. Nor misinterpret the real gist Of what I've said. I pray you now Accept my friendship's kindly vow. Permit me now to toast your class Ere from your circles we do pass. Here’s to you.

Maguire Studios URBANA ILLINOIS TEL 7-2951 One hundred forty-nine SPECIAL ASSEMBLIES In the fall of (lie year Jurien Hockstra, a baritone singer, filled us with un- usual enthusiasm with his excellent voice and well-chosen songs. February 29 one of the most phenomenal assemblies was presented. Mr. Lofgren, secretary to Rear Admiral Byrd, on his South Pole Expedition, ex- plained to us the scientific achievements of the expedition and also showed us moving pictures of Little America. A most original talent was displayed by Miss Lavonne Field, May 9. She proved to be a popular and successful crayon-artist and lyric soprano. As she sang to Miss Irene Pierson’s accompaniment, she drew beautiful pictures. Mr. Ellery Walter brought an astonishing message in his talk, “The World on One Leg,” on May 16, 1932. This dauntless youth, carrying on, after many misfortunes, actually worked his way around the world while convalescing. He succeeded in meeting many of the world’s great personalities. Another interesting assembly, however not a special one, was that offered by Charley Morgan. He is an architect from Chicago and is a great favorite with the Urbana Iligb students. He sketched with crayon, illustrating some of the fundamental principles of the world’s great architecture, from the time of the early Greeks and Romans up to the Modern Age.

In the fall a one-act play, “Not Quite Such a Goose” was given during the third hour. Everyone enjoyed it and felt that his nickel was well spent. “Dramatic Night” was observed May 12. At this time three one-act plays were very well presented. The plays were “Mix Well and Stir,” a farce; “Allison’s Lad,” a tragedy, and “Paradise,” a comedy.

Situation—Miss Rompel conducting her first hour English class, notices some one looking through the glass of her door every few minutes. She discovers that it is Mr. Stephens. Finally the door opens just enough for Steve to put his head through. Miss Rompel (reading from Longfellow’s “The Arsenal at Springfield”)—“and ever and anon, in tones of thunder—” Steve (entering and sheepishly standing by the door interrupts): Gee. but I’m sure sorry to interrupt your class, Miss Rompel, but could we borrow your table? Miss Rompel: Certainly, help yourself. Steve and helper enter, cross the room to get table. Bang! Bang! Bang! goes the paper cutter as they move it off tlie table. Then some more hangs and one terriflfic crash occur as they stumble across the room with the table, knocking it up against Miss Rompel’s desk. Miss Rompel, with an angry look at the backs of Steve and his helper, in a fierce tone resumes her reading of the poem: “Is it (), Dia it, with such discordant noises, With such ccursed instruments as these, Thou drownest Nature’s sweet and kindly voices, And jarrest the celestial harmonies?” Steve, picking up speed, turns around to his helper, and blushing says: Oh. Lordy, let’s get out of this place as fast as we can. Exit Steve, amid a huge roar of laughter from the whole class. HARRY A. LITTLE DR. ELLIOTT G.

One hundred fifty « cen SENIOR PIKERS’ DAY PICNIC One hundred and fifty seniors from U. II. S. held their annual Pikers’ Day picnic on I'hursday, May 5, at Nelson Park in Decatur. The picnic was plan- ned secretly to keep the underclassmen from going along. The seniors began arriving very early Thursday morning, and spent the entire day in boating, swimming, playing games, and golf. A picnic dinner was served at noon in the pavilion. An interesting picture of some of the senior girls preparing lunch was published in a Decatur paper. Everyone had a delightful trip and was back home by 6 o'clock. The following instructors chaperoned: Miss Mowery, Mr. Alley, Miss Brownell, Miss Ricketts, and Miss Fisher. EDITING A YEAR BOOK Getting out a yearbook is no picnic If you print jokes, people say you are silly; If you don’t, they say you are serious. If you copy things from other annuals, You are too lazy to write them yourself; If you don’t, you are stuck on your own stuff. If you stick close to the job all day, You ought to be out hunting up material, If you go out and try to hustle, You ought to he on the job in the office. If you don’t print all contributions, You don’t appreciate true genius; And if you print them, The Annual is filled with junk. If you make a change in the other fellow’s make-up, You are too critical; If you don’t, you are asleep. Now, like as not, some fellow will say We swiped this from some other yearbook— Well, criticising, critical critics—we did!
