tf-atewosid “Few students arc as fortunate as those of Urbana High School in having before their door so famous a statue as that of Abraham Lincoln, by Lorado Taft. This statue of the courageous, thoughtful Lincoln is an everlasting admonition to study and get ready for the tasks of life. Day after day we pass this great figure as it gazes forever into the east, where the sun rises, and opportunity begins. May we. touched by this benign influence, dedicate our lives to the still unfinished work of developing a world where human rights are paramount to all others and the golden rule is the fundamental law of all lands’- T. II. COBB .Superintendent. The Rosemary pays tribute to the man Lincoln, whose life has influenced ours, who once traveled through our community, and whose famous likeness stands before our school.

Telling whence this emblem came: And every tale has added fame And interest to its mystic name. But careful research bared the truth Of ancient years to the present youth: And truth is stranger far. you know. Than all the hectic tales which grow In fertile minds, or man-made plot Imagined tales, with mystery fraught. But we shall tell you whence twas got. And how it came to Urbana High. In those olden days, so long gone by. Before the white man came to dwell In Champaign County, histories tell. The wandering tribes of Kickapoo And Miami Indians lived here, too: The Pottawatomies set their tent. And. as the seasons came and went. Returned to hunt the moose and deer Abounding on the prairies here. Before Urbana was a town They brought their people, settled down And built their tents near Main and Race Where Davis’ grocery grows apace. A little further down the hill There bubbled forth, their thirst to still. A spring of water, clear and cold. A comfort to these warriors bold. Tis near this old historic spot That C. N. Clark has a business lot. When first the white man hither came With thought this Indian land to tame. The red men of the Kickapoo. And all the other Indians, too. Bore keen resentment: then they swore That they of sleep would have no more 'Till they had driven every man Of white blood out of this, their land The Indian Chief. Chicagou. strove In vain: the white man throve. He throve in spite of trials severe. While every danger hovered near From every hostile Indian band Who treachery against him planned. Then when Chicagou saw at last There was no doubt, the die was cast: The white men must be made a friend. The struggles, fighting, all must end If the tribes of Illinois Were to live and not to die. He gathered his chiefs together then And bade them bring both women and men. To meet the white man near this spring. With Indian chant and tom-tom's beat The ceremony was complete. They buried a hatchet as a sign of peace: And promised all their wars to cease. 4-4 I hey 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: 1 From the senior class do cry A challenge to the junior clan. Upon this stage to produce their man. To answer in person for his class. Before, to them this hatchet may pass. Senior : Is it really you I spied Ascending stairs so dignified ? They say you can t go down at all And keep your feet without a fall! And just to do the thing up nice You oft decide to fall down twice! Twas out upon the front hall stair You missed your footing by a hair: Fell half way down, got up. and then Turned right around and fell again. Just as if you couldn’t stop. Till you’d fallen clear down from the top! At home they say you’re awkward too. When dinner dishes you must do. You wash them all and pile them up. Plate and saucer, glass and cup Pans and skillets not a few. And then you add a crock or two! And when you can’t add any more. You knock them off upon the floor! Then, full of worry and of fear Hoping mother didn't hear. You pick up pieces, one by one. And when vou finally are done. Though you are weeping very hard. You carry them out into the yard. So that no trace may e’er be found You bury them deep within the ground Now what in the world will you ever say When mother misses them some day? Junior: I might break a dish or two— But that's not half as bad as you! Tiny pieces left as dregs Are not like that from forty eggs! For. as you picked them up in haste. The bottom fell from out the case! It must have taken an hour or more To mop the mess up from the floor: And I’ll bet your boss was monstrous sore When you broke them in the store! You got yourself in quite a plight After the dance on U Club night. (Continued on Page 168) 45 RoAesttG uf, SertiOA.

'Up, 7Ue ie A ocu and we’ve determined to make our senior year the best of the four. Not that we haven't accomplished things this year. Far from it! Our class has held its own in athletics, dramatics, music, pub- lications. and scholarship. Twenty-seven of our number have been elected to Psi. We saw our first real dramatic production experience when we gave The Ghost Flies South. Our compe- tent advisers have been Miss Rompel. Miss Kirk. Miss Lympus. Miss Wood. Miss Bullock. Mrs. Hamilton, and Miss Krieg. Our 197 members are fully confident that with three years of ex perience they are ready to assume the leadership of the school.

Their efforts lie before you. Tom Tyrrell and Jim Davis went to Indianapolis. Indiana, in November to attend the N. S. P. A. press conference. They saw school annuals from the entire nation, and obtained information and ideas for making the 19 9 Rosemary superior. Special features have been added to the Rosemary this year. A great many more pictures add to its interest Perhaps the greatest achievement of this year's staff has been the number of books sold—the largest number in the history of the school. 500 books were sold at $1. 0 a copy.

This winter, an indoor picnic was held on the stage followed by a radio dance in the gym. In the spring the parents of Delta Sigma members were re- ceived by the club and entertained with a program; refreshments were served and games followed. Just before the Christmas vacation. Delta Sigma gave a formal banquet, one of its social highlights. Good food, an interesting program, and the dance that fol- lowed gave an opportunity for fun for everyone. At all three events mentioned, initiations were held. The informal initiations, during which pledges were made to walk down stairs backwards, kneel before actives, and cat their meals 'in reverse. were enjoyed by the entire school. In April, new officers were elected for the follow- ing year, and the juniors took charge of the May meeting. Delta Sigma presented the Blue Moon Dance, with Johnny Bruce’s Orchestra, on May 19. as a fitting conclusion to the activities of the club. Row —Spradling Reedy. Walker. Shafer. Maul Tyrrell Myers.

La Marseillaise. or Frere Jacques, caroled with all the vigor of on: of our largest clubs, come bursting from the audi torium during the monthly meetings of the PHI KAPPA club. Phi Kappa, the honorary French organization, is one of the most active clubs at Urbana High. It is well advised by Miss Moore and Miss Keane. A C average or above in all subjects is required for mem- bership. French students who meet this requirement are initiated at the Midwinter Initiation banquet held in January. The banquet, pictured on the organiza- tions division page of the Rosemary, was a colorful affair. At Christmas time. Phi Kappas contributed food, toys, and clothes for a basket which was given to a needy family. A magazine contest between the boys and girls, was won by the girls. This year, the Phi Kappa members sold almost one thousand pen- cils with the Tigers basketball schedule on them. Keane. Moore. Kerr Row 5—Harvey. Hudson. Adams. Helmericks. Basden. Johnston. M.

Qisili- 'Isn't it too sad that the basketball and wrestling teams are to be out of town this week-end? I don’t know whom to ask now! What shall I do?” This was a typical complaint given by the girls for not asking their boy friends and admirers to accompany them to the Pre-Leap 't ear Sweater Swing, the largest and most unusual dance sponsored entirely by the SOCIAL KI.UB this year. Despite numerous excuses for not attending, however, a large number of couples danced to the music of Red Maxfield's orchestra. The dance was an entire reversal of the usual procedure- the girls paid their escorts' admis- sion and asked them to dance. The decorations were unique as they were made entirely of colored news- paper comic strips. S. K. fosters girls' social activities at Urbana High.

One crisp October day the Girl Scouts went to Crystal Lake Park to roast wieners and marsh- mallows. In December Girl Scouts within a radius of one hundred miles were invited to a rally at McKinley Foundation. The day was spent in at- tending vocational classes.

Disappointment mingled with victory as the Tigers lost only one game, but that loss meant the loss of the conference championship to our closest rival. How can we forget that game played in down-pouring rain.' Nevertheless, the season was success- ful since we won seven of the eight games scheduled. The loss was of great moral value for it would have been a truly unusual accomplishment for a group of boys to remain undefeated in Illinois competition for three successive seasons. Any football season will bring forth the talent of the 'stars.' but during the past season there were several players who were outstanding in their grid- iron achievements. The Urbana grid squad featured the play of versatile Bill Parks who was probably the best high school punter in the state. Fine play characterized Wayne Moser. Bob Thompson. Streaky Cleave, and Gordon Yapp, just to mention a few of the Urbana stalwarts. Nor are these few alone to be given all the credit. The entire squad is to be congratulated for instilling in the spectators the spirit of winning. 9} do4 mci uf' Will lyjo-it oe i tf-QSUf,e.t 7hat Rai+i ? 94 tf-oalhaU Schedule Urbana..................13 Urbana..................40 Urbana..................24 Urbana..................19 Urbana..................20 Urbana...................2 Urbana...................0 Urbana..................23 Centralia . . .... 0 Monticello . . . . 0 Danville . . . . 0 Decatur . . . . 0 Georgetown .... 6 Mat toon 7 Champaign ’ Pekin .... 6 CAPTAIN BILI.

SEPTEMBER 30 The conference opener in the Danville Dust Bowl left no doubt as to the strength of the Tigers who established themselves as conference contenders by routing a lighter Danville team by a score of 24 to 0. Vicious tackling by both teams resulted in many fumbles which the Urbana ball- hawks eagerly snapped up and turned into touchdowns. DECATUR. OCTOBER 7 After stopping slippery Lid Skelly. Urbana had little trouble in subduing the Decatur Reds for Urbana s second confer- ence victory. Wayne Moser had the tough assignment of taking Decatur's 200-pound tackle. Eddie McClure, out of play. Moser accomplished the task and the Tigers of- fense clicked off three touchdowns and an extra point to clinch the game by a 1 9 to 0 score. 100 GEORGETOWN. OCTOBER 14 “Slippery Sam' Grider.

Urbana continued its winning ways. Recovered tumbles meant much for the Tigers, for thus began two of Urbana's touchdown marches. Urbana lost nearly a hundred yards on penalties. CHAMPAIGN. NOVEMBER 4 Rain drowned Urbana's conference hopes and buried them deep in the mud of Champaign McKinley Field. Park's punts were Urbana's only defense as Champaign threatened continually. Straight football availed Champaign but little and it was on a trick play that Champaign's All-State tackle. Bob Wilson, scored. Final score was Champaign. 7: Urbana. 0. MATTOON. OCTOBER 28 Mattoon fell as Urbana won its third consecutive conference victory. Park's passes pointed the way as Parks. Stephens. Gher. and Kinder crossed the goal line in that order as an example of the talent in the Urbana backfield. This victory set the stage for the annual Champaign-Ur- bana game. The final score: Urbana. 27; Mattoon. 7. PEKIN. NOVEMBER 1 I A 23 to 6 victory over the Pekin Chinks clinched second place in the Big Twelve Conference for Urbana. Highlight of the game was Parks' 36-yard field goal. The game was anti-climatic after the Tigers' defeat by Champaign, but the sea son closed successfully for the T igers. HI-RI I COME. MR YAPP! 101 fyn.eAii+na i-£ofUuunan,e. fyoathcdl This year's Freshman Sophomore football squad was coached by Mr. Gwillim. who. although a newcomer, quickly assumed full respon- sibility in training football aspirants for the first string football team. A great deal of attention was paid to correct blocking, tackling, and the more fundamental principles of football playing. Realizing, however, that all work and no play makes a dull gridder. several games were scheduled for the Frosh-Soph team. In the seven games played, our underclassmen won four, lost two. and tied one- -a better than average record when one considers the competition offered by Gibson City. Danville. Villa Grove, and Monticello. Out of the group coached by Mr. Gwillim. were a few especially talented performers: Russell Wessells. Roy Hart, and Dick Phillips, sophomores this year, and Joe D'Urso. a freshman. Although the boys on this team had little chance for a share of the glory on the gridiron, they all seemed to realize that their oppor tunity for promotion to the varsity depended upon their consistency.

Urbana played twenty-eight games and. of the twenty-eight, won nineteen. The loss of Joe Hegenbart in mid- season broke down the morale of the team: however. Coach Stephens rebuilt his team with such success that Urbana won the regional and placed second in the sectional. To miss the State Tournament by one game is a bitter pill to swallow, but the Urbana fellows bore no grudge and showed the sportsmanship that is typical of Urbana athletes and followers. Basketball, with its tense crowds and its typical American spirit of love for the game, is truly a fine sport for training of youth. In Bill Ocsterling and Bill Parks. Urbana had two of the finest prep athletes in the state. Praise must also be given the other basketeers: namely. Joe Hegenbart. Wayne Batty. John Hayes. Kenny Waldron, and “Duck ' Brown. These fellows have coordinated and given their best to bring to Urbana more than its share of victories. 103 flalesnasuf mi I PARKS Forward JOE HIGENBART Guard BILL OESTERI ING Guard With five straight victories, the 1938-1939 basketball season opened rather impressively lor the Urbana Tigers. Tolono. St. Joseph. Ma- homet. C'armi. and Taylorville fell as Urbana warmed up for conference competition. In the conference opener. Danville set the Orange and Black back 41 to }9 in a game which featured firewagon basketball and much personal contact. 104 The Tiger cagers continued their schedule by defeating Clinton and Fisher, two non-con- ference foes. On their annual Christmas holiday trip, the baskcteers fell before a powerful Canton quintet by a 28 to 24 score, but on the follow- ing day. the T igers defeated Lewistown. The next conference game resulted in a victory for the tall and fast Decatur Reds.

RI DMON: Urbana experienced little trouble with the plucky Ogden cagers who featured Keith McGee, the county exemplar award winner, and Bob Sanden. a former U. H. S. student. Pekin was the victim as Urbana won its first conference game of the season. The Tigers continued their winning ways by defeating our rivals from west of Wright Street. 29 to 21 T his was Joe Hegen- bart’s last conference game in the Twin Cities, and he played his finest basketball of the season. Urbana s team surprised the dopesters by knocking off the Mattoon l owers who had previously been conceded a fine chance of winning the the State title. The winning streak of the Orange and Black continued in the Quincy game, but Urbana could not cope with the pow- erful Beardstown five from the west. The second Champaign Urbana game almost defies description. In truth. Cham- paign couldn't miss and Urbana could not find the basket. The Tigers caged one field goal during the entire game. Decatur again defeated Urbana, this time at Decatur. Urbana recovered, however, and downed Mattoon for the second time. Danville, almost unbeatable on its home floor, won from Urbana for the second time, this time by a very narrow margin. 38 to 33. In the final scheduled game of the season. Urbana was beaten by Taylorville whom the Tigers had previously defeated. Urbana won the regional title, sub- duing Champaign in the final game. Cham- paign. however, gained revenge in the sec- tional as they overcame the Tigers in a truly great game. Urbana completely out played the Maroons in tlx- second half but could not overcome the Green Streeters first-ha If lead. 106 Roil' 2—B Gibson. Whiting. Nelson. Thompson Mr Younun's.

Their record of fifteen wins against five losses with such teams as Danvill. Decatur. Tolono. Mattoon. and Clinton as opponents, speaks for itself. Not only did the team play Frosh-Soph teams of other schools, but it also opposed varsity squads in some of our neighboring towns. Several of the boys showed unusual ability, and Mr. Youmans sees great futures for these basketeers on our varsity team two years from now. Clyde Rusk advanced so rapidly that he was shifted to the first string in the middle of the cage season. Walter Franklin and Joe D'Urso. both freshmen, are two boys who should be watched in their future hardwood careers. The curtain-raiser games of this basketball season were real thrillers: the spirit and fight of the Frosh-Soph team were cheered by all the Urbana fans. 107 12o4 tU2A f, Wnedlincj, 1938-39 The youngest major sport, wrestling, has grown tremendously in the past few years, and has gained much popularity at Urbana lligh School. Nine dual meets were held and of these, the Tiger grapplers won seven. The sea- son opened against Lewistown on Decern her 22. I he next meet was against Cham paign in the Champaign gym. with the veteran Maroon team winning a closely contested victory. Stephens’ bout with Wilson was the highlight. Against a rather weak Gatlin team, the grunt and groan men enjoyed a Roman holiday to the tune of a 4 to 0 score. A later meeting of these two teams resulted in a second victory for Urbana. The Orange and Black wrestlers won their first conference victory against Dan- ville. A later meet with Danville was cancelled. Uni High proved little opposi- tion to Urbana. On the night preceding the second Champaign-Urbana basketball game, the Maroon wrestlers administered a crushing defeat to Urbana. Later con- tests with Pekin and Lewistown resulted in Urbana victories. The first Big I welve Wrestling Meet was held at Pekin. Urbana placed second to the Champaign team. Three Urbana men. Dick Kerr. Bob Thompson, and Dick Stephens, placed first. Bob Walker placed second and Paul Rector and Wayne Stephens gained third places. Sectional meets were held for the first time this year. At Champaign. Urbana again placed second. Urbana gained two firsts with Dick Kerr and Bob Thompson, and three seconds with Paul Rector. Bob Walker, and Dick Stephens. In the State meet Urbana placed eleventh. Dick Kerr and Dick Stephens placed third and Paul Rector scored a fall to give Urbana its only points. The position of coach was capably filled by Charles Rodgers, a senior from the University. Mr. Hornor also assisted with coaching. At the opening of the sea- son. the grapplers elected Dick Kerr, a senior, as their captain. Rou? —De Lorimier I ewis. I'icbig. McOlurg, Cbrk. Ghcr. Gullette. Young. Strong. Olliverson Tar penning.

The season opened with a bang as the cindernien won their initial start in the Urbana Open. This victory was immediately followed by a dual meet victory over Danville. Competi tion in the Paris Relays was decidedly tough and the Tigers placed sixth in a large field. A dual meet with Kankakee resulted in a decided defeat of the Ranks. Next Urbana journeyed to Mattoon to defeat the host and the Areola squad in a triangular meet. The Tigers next victory occurred in the Monticello Open Meet. Urbana s closest rival was Decatur: but the Tigers came through. In the highlight event of the home track season, the Orange and Black placed third below LaSalle-Peru and Newman at the Urbana Relays. I;or the tenth time in fourteen years. Urbana has won the District Track Meet. The Tigers won the meet without placing first in any event. Eleven boys were eligible to compete in the State Track Meet at the University.

F rom the moment the first curtain parted to dis- close the interior of a small tavern a few miles from London, to the Bishop s words. Well. I guess there's nothing left to do but go to bed. the play was a distinct hit. The director. Miss Elizabeth Turnell. did an excellent job of coaching the seniors- her cheer- ful direction was reflected in the enjoyable performance. The play, a Broadway hit of several seasons back, concerned the activities of the Bishop of Broadminstcr. an English churchman with a secret love for crime and detective work. to unravel a jewel robbery. The apparent crooks. Donald Meadows, his sweetheart. Hester, and their ring of confederates, really prove to be quite innocent of criminal inten- tions. The Bishop and his sister. Lady Emily, do a hilarious job of setting things aright. Tom Tyrrell, in the title role, played his part to perfection. As the kindly, eager, yet dignified Bishop, he had the entire audience with him throughout the play. His voice and manner sms were excellent. It was difficult to realize that in her part of Lady Emily Lyons. Jennie Bonnett was seeing her first experience in a major play. She played the in- quisitive, gracious Emily with professional skill. As the suave hero and perplexed heroine. Morris Myers and Virginia Denton supplied excellent love interest. Both of them carried their roles with ease. The supporting players. Shirley Elvis. Bob Reedy. Wayne Batty. Carlos Hudson. John Finfrock. and Byron bulk were perfect choices for their parts. Wayne and John received many laughs with their humorous characterizations. 120 Coii Spike Eagan Donald Meadows Hester Grantham Guy Waller Mrs. Waller John !-infrock Morns Myers Virginia Denton Bob Reedy Shirlev HI vis I he Bishop of Broad minster Tom Tyrrell Jennie Bonnett Lady Emily Lyons Collins Frenchy Mr. Brooke NOVEMBER 10.

It is another success to add to our dramatics department s achievements, under the direction of Mrs Hamilton. An elaborate English garden setting was expertly constructed by the stagecraft classes. Many hours were spent making the crepe paper flowers that rambled over the English cottage, garden walls and gate. A prologue introduced the theme of the play. The first and second acts were continuous with only a blackout for transition. The first and third acts took place during World War times: the second act was a flashback to a tragic wed ding scene of fifty years before. The cast consisted of both veterans and newcomers to the Urbana stage. Shirley Hum. one of the newcomers, was breathtakingly beautiful in the role of Moonyeen. the young bride whose tragic death guided the destinies of the other actors in the play. Thomas Tyr re 11. in the role of young John. Moonyeen s fiance, was a true, romantic lover. Robert Reedy was the brooding, obstinate, but lovable elderly Carteret. Gordon Taylor was outstanding as the gentle, loyal Dr. Owen. Margaret Gregory, with her charming Irish brogue, beautifully portrayed the role of Carteret's vivacious and attractive niece. Kathleen, whom John tried in vain to prevent from marrying Kenneth Wayne (Byron Fulk). whose father had. in a drunken stupor, killed Moonyeen on her wedding day.

Director RoA ma'uf' 7lie Qlt U tf-UeA, South An amusing comedy by Frederick Jackson. I he Ghost f lies South, was this year s Junior Class Play. The play was adequate but not altogether successful. Most of its weak moments may be attributed to the inexperience ol the cast: very few of them had seen any experience on the stage. I he play was not the best that could have been chosen. Its intricate fast-moving plot required actors with a great deal of experience and a definite flair for comedy. In spite of this, however, the audience applauded the youthful enthusi- asm of the actors. I he plot centered around two sisters. Diana and Anita, who played the stock market and won $400,000. The haughty mother ol Anita's fiance. Morgan, strenuously objected to gambling in any form: the play is devoted to the girls attempts to hide the source of their wealth. They invent a wealthy uncle who has bequeathed the money to them. As the domineering Mrs. Winthrop. and Grandma Bantry. Phyllis Chamberlain and Lydia Hilburn probably contributed the most finished performances. Lydia kept the audience laughing with her attempts to remember if she had had a son named William!” Joe Williamson also came in for a share of laughs as the gay young Tyler. Frances Hel mericks and George Clark were a very attractive couple. Betty Hoelscher gave an intelli- gent and convincing performance as Diana, and Edgar Stein and Ellen Batchelor were excellent as the bogus uncle’s friend, and the uncle’s squaw” wife. The attractive blue and white stage was designed and built by the stagecraft classes. Gay chintz curtains and several richly toned paintings made the set very colorful. I 24 MARCH 31 19 39 8 P. M.

Carlos Hudson and Horace Macintire: negative. Jim Barracks and Morris Myers. The second team consisted of Ruth Hauser and Louise Titus, affirmative; Bob Simon and Barbara Stewart, negative.

We are presenting a regularly scheduled pro- gram of music provided by the nationally known Urbana High School Band, under the direction of Clarence C. Sawhill. With these words, our band began its regularly scheduled network concert. This fall, concert music was discarded temporarily in favor of stirring marches and unique formations on the football field Attired in orange and black uniforms, the ninety piece band paraded before the chilly football crowds displaying military marching precision and adding the color to a game that only a band can give. In its only trip of the year, it paraded for the Danville game. The band took up the difficult Rhapsody In Rumba by Bennett this year. Mr. Sawhill not only deserves a great deal of credit for the band's accomplishments but also should be complimented upon his sincere interest in each individual member. The officers of the band were: President. MORRIS MYERS: Vice-President. JACK KINDER: Secretary. BILL OESTERLING: Treasurer. GORDON YAPP: Librarian. BYRON FULK.

Stewart The Orchestra is fast taking its place in the musical scheme at Urbana. During the past year, it has made decided strides toward becom- ing a top-notch organization. It has justified the time and effort that Mr. Sawhill and his practice teachers have so diligently given it. Following in the footsteps of its sister organ- ization. the band, the orchestra was heard over station WDWS twice during the year. The difficult music for the Midwinter play. Smilin’ Through. was beautifully handled by the orchestra. The members spent long hours pre- paring for this event. The orchestra’s music was heard before, after, and often during the play. The packed house was enthusiastic in its enjoyment of the music. Mr Sawhill's musi- cians also entertained at the other two major plays.

After a five minute recess, she starts on the girls chorus The same procedure follows—this time above the trill of a dozen sopranos supported by twenty three seconds and altos. One day each week, the two choruses combine. The chorus not only sings the usual run of slow, chanting melodies, but gay. colorful tunes as well. Two of its favorites are the well-known Sweethearts. and a Russian folk song. Nina. Besides giving several numbers for assembly programs. P.-T. A . Urbana Woman’s Club, and the Baptist Youth Congress, a section of the chorus went to Danville in April to participate in the Big 1 ?. Festival chorus, composed of some 425 persons. This year the girls' sextet and the boys’ double quartet both won superior at the district contest at Fairburv. The sextet took high honors in their division at the State Contest held at the U. of I.: the double quartet was judged second. I 0 ’ll! first girl drum major in many years.

Almost every evening members of band ENSEMBLES sought a room in winch to practice. By four o'clock, the halls resounded with clarinets, bassoons, and trumpets as the ensembles studied conscientiously in an en- deavor to win awards. By spring, the band ensembles had improved tremendously. The contest again showed Ur- banas superiority in music by our excellent ratings in the district, state, and regional contests.

K.’s started off with a bang. For “big and little sisters ' came in a gang To the annual party in the gym Where nobody thought of being grim! During the first six weeks ol school. The biology classes visited a little pool. They paid a visit to the old boncyard To get some crayfish worked very hard. October Td was the first meeting day Of Phi Kappa and Phi Epsilon, by the way. Also on this day a president was elected To Science Club, and members were subjected To a visit at the University observatory To see the stars in all their celestial glory. Three days later the first Echo of the year Was issued midst many a resounding cheer. After the Decatur game in which we landed on top. (On Oct. 6 i S. K. gave a happy, hilarious hop. How can any loyal G.A.A. who at- tended the annual play day at UJ 1 I S. gym on a warm, balmy. October. Saturday morning the 8th forget the grand fun on that day? The G.A.A.’s were divided into teams and each team competed with the others in all types of sports: baseball, dodgeball. volleyball, and soccer. The victors received G.A.A bracelets as rewards. At the beginning of the next week, the revitalized Student Council elected Bette Pilchard to lead them in their many projects designed to better good old U.l I S Incidentally, this was the first meeting of this council.

Jim Davis, Jim Smith. Dick Phillips, and Beach Leighton were the able leaders elected by their respective classes. Say. what ever happened to the girls in this election? Guess it’s still a man's world! Friday night is always the appropriate time for parties. The All-school party on October 21 was the biggest success of the year a hard times party. The gym looked like a hobo's convention. Did you see the Misses Lawson. Hamilton. Wood, and Bullock masquerading as father, mother, and two little girls, respectively? They were the lives (slightly bedraggled of the party! Several young damsels were truly in distress when they lost their shoes ir the “slipper dance.

What it cost the ROSEMARY, twouldn't do to mention. The last football game was at Pekin town. Anti our boys really mowed them down. Football had gone so fast, oh dear! But basketball would soon be here. Alice Kimple was elected Junior hatchet orator With Jim Davis as her opposing debater On November 18th came an all school dance. Did you. like the others, have a merry time, per chance? The following day the Urbana debat ers traveled to Newton where a practice debate was held. Finally the long awaited annual vacation came. Turkey and plum pudding—Thanksgiving holidays. Just as we were becoming accustomed to this scrumptious idea, we had to trudge back to “ye olde grinde. When we walked into the library, we saw the smiling face of Miss Lympus. our new librarian. W. Lewis (S' Co. Champaign’s Leading Department Store The initial basketball game came on November 29th. It was good to see our players sinking the apple again. On December 2. eleven pretty girls were elected by class members to participate in the M 1 S S ROSEMARY contest.

On the eighth day of the last month in the year four plays coached by students from the dramatics classes were presented at an all-school dra- matics night. The program consisted of: a Christmas play, a serious play, a comedv- mystery. and an old-fashioned melodrama. Quit a number of new faces were seen across the footlights. The day before the Christmas vacation Delta Sigma initiated a flock of new act- resses and actors. The pledges had to im- personate movie stars, and some startling talent emerged. Marianna Bennett was really in the groove impersonating Mar- tha Rave. Following the dinner we had another all school party. A group of girls wanted this party to be strictly formal: consequently they wore pretty, gay-colored I rocks. I he outstanding event of the party was the crowning of MISS ROSEMARY. Sue Weaver, the perfect choice, looked the part in her lovely blue dress with a full skirt. In her arms she carried her corona- tion bouquet ol red roses. Betsy Ross and Doris Hulbary were runners-up. 1 8 Compliments of APPERSON’S PLUMBING HEATING COMPANY Pioneer Oil Burners Crane Co. Autocoal Stoker 217I a W. Main St. YOU K! SO DI MONSTRATIVl . BOB! Christmas V acation was quite an event. For it. we did not sit and repent. But the holidays ended much too soon. Another big vacation wouldn't come til June! After this lengthy Christmas vacation. Some bandboys got an extra ration For on the 5th. 6th. and 7th of January, by the bye. The band clinic was held at the U. of I. On January 1 2 Phi Kappa held its banquet. Leave it to this club to give une grande fete! At G. Huff Gym. U.H.S. was host To C H S - and could we joyfully boast— For we had won the basketball game. A happy victory for our team to claim Our debate team continued on its way By debating at Mattoon the following day. On Sunday afternoon. January 15 Up in our gym all spotless and clean ( ?) An informal concert was given by the band. All who attended gave them a hearty hand. On January 19th and 20th the dramatics classes Gave the beautiful play. Smilin' Thru, to the masses. T his play was an exceptionally fine thing. And many bright shekels it did bring. A decision debate tournament was held at Lincoln Where the members showed overwhelming power and won. On January 28th the semester was done. Anxious poppas' asked. Did you pass, my son? On February 5rd (We’ve tried to for- get it) CHS. trimmed our basketball team. Oh. well, to be optimistic, it did give some of their bench warmers a change of atmosphere. Courtesy Week was planned for February 15 through 17. but an unforseen shadow crossed the paths of over one-third of the students at U.H.S. Influenza! School closed much to the joy of the flu less. Remember what a dull week-end it was with no movies—only cards and Chinese checkers:' School began the next Tuesday. During this week the delayed Courtesy Week Assembly was held and Shirley Hunt and Wayne Batty were crowned queen and king of Courtesy. On Friday the 24th. our basketball boys made their final appearance on the home floor. A Courtesy Hop by S. K. was given two weeks later than previously planned, but no one minded very much. Since a swim- ming meet also came on this day. some of the girls participating in the class meet objected—for their hair would be a per- fect mess.” About this time several of Urbana's wrestlers were grappling in the state wrest 59 Rale ling meet held at the University. Dick Kerr was the only Urbana boy who reached the finals. The Urbana High band began a series of concerts over WDWS. On March 8. 9. and 10 the 3rd and 8th hour dramatics classes gave the fairy play the Sleeping Beauty for the grade schools of Urbana and Champaign. If this play had been given once more. Bob Simon (King Tuffy) would surely have broken his jeweled crown. The next morning, March 11. 17 soloists entered the district meet at Arthur. We certainly did well, for 15 out of the 1 7 soloists rated in the first division. Not bad at all! That evening U.I1.S. played again in the sectional tournament held at Junior High gym in Champaign ( again ' for we defeated Clinton the night before). This time we played C.H.S. and woe is us. we were nosed out. Guess we weren’t living right! Before, during, and after this game, rain kept pouring down and of course there was a flood Water, water everywhere and plenty of cars got stuck. March 18th the District Latin Contest. Four first places for U.H.S. the conquest A week later some representatives from the chorus Won the district meet at Fairbury for us. I he Ghost Flies South, the Junior play A comedy-farce and very gay. Fell on March 3 1 to the great delight For all who saw the ghost in flight. Five lucky student council delegates Left for Peoria the last of March to cogitate On problems concerning the affairs Of students who have so many cares. La Chase.’’ Phi Kappa's annual scavenger hu nt. (Held on April 3rd), was quite a happy stu nt. April 7 through 10 was Faster vacation. For boys, girls and teachers, a relaxation. Wednesday following vacation the U-Club boys Defeated the faculty goons' who lacked poise. They certainly were masters at cheating. But should have been masters in beating. April 14th the U-Club dance Left many in a happy trance! Swing, spring, and every thing Made many a gay blade's young heart sing. On the same day the students took hold. They conducted classes quite solemn and bold. To the Delta Sig. variety show. Most everybody in school did go. To see the faculty in Mix Well and Stir We laughed so hard at dignified teacher. In the middle of April Delta Sig. wel- comed and honored the members’ parents with an exceedingly pleasant reception About 3 weeks later Phi Kappa also hon- ored the parents of its members, as well as the dignified seniors. Remember the novel Blue Moon Dance on the steps of U.H S? Wasn't it fun dancing under the stars? No senior can ever forget the fun on Senior Skip day—the best day in the whole 4 years of high school!

We leave the following collective bequests: To the juniors, we leave our heartiest congratulations for being able to overcome our famous 9 class spirit and elect their relay queen candidate. To the sophomores, we bequeath a full measure of our surplus dignity of which they are so badly in need. The freshmen are the recipients of our deepest sympathies for their foolhardy at- tempts to overcome the determined senior class in the Miss Rosemary contest. Save your pennies and you'll do it three years hence. To Mr. Tilbury, we leave a siphon extending from the swimming pool to his laboratory, hoping to thereby decrease his exercise and increase his poundage. We leave a monument dedicated to Ruth Rompers unfailing good humor, hoping that it never crumbles. An assorted variety of intelligent guinea pigs goes to Brainstorm' Carlson. Upon them, instead of us. he can try his excellent but countless theories of history instruction. A life subscription to the CHICAGO TRIBUNE is bequeathed to Mr. Hornor. We equip Miss Moores room with sound-proof walls. Her exuberant French students will no longer disturb the Female Faculty Forum in the front hall. We leave a volume of 1001 NEW JOKES to Mr. James. A cast iron medal is given to Miss Krieg in appreciation of her valiant efforts to give Urbana a debate squad. We regretfully leave Elizabeth Jane Turned. The following individual bequests are made: I. Bill Parks, leave my athletic prowess to any underclassman who is man enough to take it.

Evelyn Pittman and Grace Nelson leave their unassuming good natures to Barbara Stewart and Fran Helmericks with the request that they be used by the same. Bill Skelton receives the unconquerable urge for starting petitions from Horace Macintire. Part of Irene Alexander's abundance of modesty and lack of egotism goes to Shirley Smith. I. Grace Arabelle McPheeters. leave my enviable record to my sister Martha, knowing she'll have a hard time equalling it. Wayne Batty and Shirley Hunt give their courtesy crowns to two who need them.

Rut hell en Hackelman. will my dig- nity and poise to Ann Fletcher and Dor- othy O'Donnell. The dramatics students leave their col- lection of assorted vegetables to the cafe- teria. The senior athletes give their box-office appeal to future performers in pay assem- blies. Ket Smith hastily leaves in search of Harno.

After a consideration of thirty cents (which we plan to bill the class treasury for) the lovely attendant let us gaze three times the usual distance into the future, or twenty-one years. Tut. tut. what is this we see in the mystic globe? In 1960 we sec an entirely different United States, the president-dicta- tor of which is that high-strung radicalist Morris Myers. Myers, we are told by the voice of inside-dope reporter. Tattler-Ted McClurg. has just proposed to Miggs Car- roll for the eighth lime, but Miggs still maintains that her heart belongs to Daddy. Today the world is shocked by the news of the death of John Henry Finfrock. renowned archeologist, who was found lying in an Egyptian tomb. He had crawled within the tomb to look around when the trap-door slammed shut. His widow. Ruby Martin, is very much grieved by the news. The only rejoicer was Wayne Moser, who has been looking forward to the time when Ruby would once again be free. The committee to select a suitable memorial to this great man included Ralph Robbins, notable stone-cutter at Sing-Sing. Marjorie Puckett. Lucille Powers, and Helen Woodworth, big names in the Na- tional Women's Memorial Society. Jean DeLorimier. recently elected pres- ident of the American Legion, was removed from office for his conduct at the latest convention. His wife. Phyllis Rusk, threat- ens suit of divorce for undue publicity. The new president. Wayne Gher. was selected by a special committee consisting of Wayne Stephens. Edwin Williams. Henry Grein. and Charles Durst. Dan McCaskill. renowned physician, has discovered a cure for hey-hey fever and has benefited a large number of people, including that consistent patient of his. Betty Jean Green. Others who hail Dr McCaskill are Alice Rodkey. Clara Haynes. Charlotte Retzolk. and Steve Speck (who is suffering from a fluttering heart.) Tom Tyrrell, who just co-starred with Marianna Bennett in Love is Blind. has caught the country by storm. Don Long in his screen personalities column, says: They have undoubtedly surpassed their abilities in this production. Local motion picture theater owner Jim McCloud, an- nounced that this picture would appear soon, along with a stage show starring Ruthellen Hackelman. Jeanette Smith. Floyd Ellis, and Stanley Day. Mrs. Gordon Yapp, the former Bar- bara Gray, sued for divorce on the grounds of alienation of affections. She claimed her husband was being enchanted by that famed dance orchestra leader Helene Schwalbe. Reason for this enchantment, as stated by Yapp, was that Schwalbe played a mean clarinet. Bob Reedy noted Federal Agent, has just arrested Gernon Hesselschwerdt for treason, claiming that his German Bun organization is un American. Reedy also pointed out that Hesselschwerdt was work- ing in direct competition to the American Association of Bakers. He declared that the jury should speedily convict this man. Th jury was compose! in part of Clara Nell Smith. Marjorie Dietz. Mary Gordon, and Delores Halberstadt. and it is evident that they might be partial to such a handsome individual. Chief Scout Executive Bob Walker hoped also that Hesselschwerdt would be convicted because of his activities in trying to organize an anti-scout move- ment. I 55 P l mGSuf' Phil Thompson was lately crowned champion chess player of the Corn Belt area. Thompson’s publicity agent. Bill Walker, claims that this is just a step to- ward world fame. Bill Parks has just made another ad dition to his Parks Pastime Pool Parlor. Inc of which John Hayes was made gen- eral manager. Parks has as his assistants, cue-repairer Joe Hegenbart. Eight-Ball Ike Charles Martin, and Three Cushion Bill Oesterling. Jack Kinder, general manager of the Podunk Center and Northern Railroad, has just constructed a new branch line, of which Ralph (Hogger) Clark has been made engineer. Kinder considers that rail- roads are on the upgrade as cattle-magnate Thomas Arie has increased his carloadings 1.000 per cent in the last month. Sue Weaver has just obtained a new set of false teeth. Bob Thompson, the pain- less dentist, finished the job with the ex- tracting of the last wisdom tooth. Now Sue says that she couldn't possibly pas an American history course. Why? Jennie Bor’ • the radio sensation, is now spo six large neighborly over an entire net wo. aided in digging up odd u... McPheeters. Emily Christopher, a no eiu Pilchard. Jim Davis, who has originated a new school system which he hopes will decrease taxes and increase interest in school, has decided to have nine months of vacation and three months of school work. 'Teach- ers who now will have much more leisure time for intellectual indulgence are Hazel Hatter. P. E. instructor. Ruth Brooks. Kathryn Lindsay (a mathematical genius) and Betty Jean Green, vocal instructor. Gordon Taylor and Peg Gregory have ceased their squabbling long enough to again be united in holy matrimony for the seventh consecutive time. Gordon says that this time it is the real thing. Grace Harriman. matron of the Wand- ering Waifs Children's Home, has just committed suicide. She left a note saying that she had too many children on her mind. And now the end has come for our observations into the future, because ex- convict Byron Fulk has just completed his twenty-one year stretch and has so stronglv sworn to gel vengeance on every one that he has burst the globe. So now we are returned to the present day to watch for these happenings which will undoubted'v come about.

The members of ALPHA PSI OMEGA, senior scholastic honorary society were inducted in an impressive ceremony at the Honors Day Assembly. They entered the auditorium in couples, ascended to the stage, and as their names were announced to the rest of the school, received lighted candles symbolizing the blazing torch of knowledge. Members of the organization, now in its third year, are elected if they have a seven-semester average of 4.5 and are maintaining their average the eighth semester. DICK KERR was elected president: JENNIE BONNETT. vice-president: and TOM TYRRELL, secretary. This year's club decided to originate the custom of leaving an Alpha Psi Omega membership plaque for the front hall. Miss Ricketts is sponsor of the club. The two members with the highest averages. Philip Spradling and Morris Myers, were valedictorian and salutatorian. respectively, of the senior class. 169 doAesnaA } cMaicbet (Dn.atian (Continued Itoni page 45) You had a girl from out of town, And though the rain was pouring down No light of moon shone from on high. Not a star stood in the sky Yet you would show your friend the sights. And took her riding around midnight’ How could you e'er have been so rash When the only light was the lightning's flash? The roads were soft and muddy too. Twas more than any car could do To keep from sinking in the mud Out on that South Farm orchard road It took two hours to coax it out. So we have heard, and wo ve no doubt That the clock was really striking four. When you left her at her door! SENIOR: You’ve done quite well. As all can tell. In giving your roast to me: But the senior class Sits there in mass For your roving eye to see! Pick out your man. Do the best you can. And roast as hard as you will! I promise you. Without ado. To give you a better one still! JUNIOR: JOHN CHARI FS HAYES .John was filled with pure delight When at supper time one night He found his sister he could tease By swiping all her beans and peas. And Mary really had to fight Of her own food to get a bite! He stuck his fork into the meat. And then decided on a feat. For on her salad plate there lay A nice round olive, plain as day! He thought real hard and made his plan To use his fork with sleight of hand. When Mary Lou must take a drink. He drove his fork in. quick as wink. Conveyed the morsel to his tongue. And then his mother cried. O son! His teeth sank in—the joke was bum! For he was chewing sister s gum! Senior: GEORGE MASON CLARK Georgie Porgie had a shirt. A new one for the play. He’d paid two dollars for it. Had bought it just that day. He hung it in the dressing room On a temporary line The cast had for their costumes. And thought it would be fine! But when they wished to paint the maid And make her face all black. They couldn't find a single smock. And a good white cloth they lacked! ’ Well, here’s a shirt, cried Betty. Come, child, slip into this. I'm sure it’s Edgar's old one. I heard him say it's his! So they blacked the maid up proper And took nor pains nor care. For if they spilled the mixture— For that the shirt was there! When George came in to pul it on. Found grease paint on the collar. He said, and swore beneath his breath. “That shirt cost me two dollars' JUNIOR: ROBERT WALT ER THOMPSON Dids t ever see His Model T. With lights as dim as dim can be? He has the gall This a car to call With hardly any brakes at all! You hear him curse. Or maybe worse. When he had to put it in reverse To stop at all! Or perhaps his engine stall II a red light on his vision fall But goodness knows T he thing still goes. And Bob was really on his toes— I le fed it gas A car to pass. And only did he see. alas. When he had gone too far— T was quite a jar!— 1 hat State Police were in the car! He set the pace. I hey gave him chase. And as he turned in home in haste. T hey followed too. And in words quite few.

Told him what he'd better do; I le must behave. And work and slave. And every penny lie must save Fix up his car. Or else keep far From State Policemen and their car! Senior : MARJORIE MARIE BASDEN The bell rang loud and long that night At Marjie's house across the way; It filled her very soul with fright. She thought (was a nasty trick to play. When at last she oped the door. And found D. O'Donnell standing there. It took a second, yes and more. As Dorothy stood in the light's full glare For Marjorie to breathe again. Come in. she said. You little beast— Another time you will please refrain. Or ring it not so loud at least But Dorothy said she'd like to see If Marjorie didn't mind a bit. A poem in last year’s Rosemary: She'd like to take a look at it! They climbed the stairs to Marjic’s room. The color from her face all fled. And then and there she almost swooned. A man was lying on her bed! But Mickey M. and Dorothy. While Marjie trembled there with fright. Simply howled and laughed with glee. And laughed again with all their might! How did you get here?” she asked at last. And please explain the big idea! Through the window. Mickey gasped. You should have seen me climb that tree! Junior: ERMA LEE STAMM Erma thought. O! My! What luck! And waved her hand at the laundry truck. And then she smiled with a happy sigh To sec an old friend riding by! But the man in the truck had paid no heed. As he rode by. to the friendly deed. But Erma kept it up each day As the man rode past upon his way: She still was sure twas an old friend Bob. But that he’d grown to be a snob. At last, one day. he stopped his truck. And Erma really couldn't duck. He waved his hand and doffed his hat. I was then and there she discovered that He was no boy. but a man quite old. Who suddenly had grown so bold: An old bald man was standing there. So bald he really had no hair— But Erma didn't smile just then And now she doesn t wave at men. Senior: RUSSELL EDWARD ARNOLD At the breakfast Easter morn. Russell was a waiter! But he said. Well, don't you mind. I'll get my breakfast later! And so he sat and ate. and ate. Because he had no wishes To clear the table up or help The others do the dishes! He drank and drank tomato juice. Of milk he had six glasses. And he didn't mind a bit The bitter looks and razzes. While the others worked around He still sat at the table— 1 le ate a dozen eggs or more— As much as he was able. To fill in time till the work was done He ended up on jam and bread. J ill he could hardly walk at all. In fact he was most dead. And when he finally got up. Was sure there was no work. The superintendent brought a broom. And said. Wipe off that smirk! Now you can sweep the whole place out. Come Russell, you can’t shirk! Junior: VIRGINIA MAE DENTON Said Miss Cade with quite a frown. I wish you folks would settle down! Place your shorthand notes in front of you. For each his very best must do! Each one accurately must read Her notes, and try for speed! Now. ready, type! The time is on! And soon were full five minutes gone. Virginia thought her notes looked queer. And pretty soon began to fear! She wondered why she was so dense For her shorthand writing made no sense! She typed the words as best she could. But thought her brain was made of wood! But when her shorthand notes fell o'er. (Continued on page 174) 172 W. A.

His time in Burnham, hibernation' Although his food was mere collation. For. Virginia, in agitation. And yet with much commiseration. And even more consideration. With not a bit of hesitation. Would express her consolation. But the clerk gave his negation For so much acceleration Unless she was a close relation! Virginia fell in consternation At this frank interrogation Almost she had degeneration In a sad prevarication: Not yet. she said with irritation. And fled therefrom with aggravation. And in such awful desperation It seemed most like evaporation! Junior: JOHN ROBERT WALKER Bob. with several other boys Went riding round and making noise. Because our boys had won the game. Had once more beaten old Champaign. Another car came on apace. So close that fenders locked embraced' Each driver blamed the other: So Before one could really know What iwas all about, a fight was on. And all the boys were on the ground Looking on. to sec fair play. But taking no part in the fray. Another car came up. and then From out it came about four men. Before the first could cry or holler Bob held him fast by his coat collar! Now. what do you want?” he cried loud. To keep him away from the other crowd: And then, the other with quite a flare. Opened his coat, and shining there. A police badge pinned upon his vest! Well, we ll just let you guess the rest! Senior: JAMES DEAN MAU'I Z O. Jim was monstrous hungry When he went home one noon: His stomach felt most empty And he must get there soon. With giant steps he ran The full ten blocks or more. And burst, completely out of breath. Through the front room door A female form before the stove To the kitchen lent a lure— So he sneaked in to surprise her '1 was his mother he was sure’ He threw his arms around her. And cried, before she turned around. Say. Ma. when do we eat?' And when the woman faced him Oh. how poor Jim did look' For in his anxious hunger He'd kissed the colored cook! Junior: RALPH BURNETT CLARK There is one subject that Ralph knows. It possesses him from head to toes. His interest in it ever grows. He discusses it where’er he goes! Railroad trains and engines too. And what the best of them can do. On this old subject ever new. He’ll talk till he is black and blue. He’d like to be a grown-up man. And is sure he can't until he can Smoke a pipe. So he began Quite recently this bar to ban! I was on a moonlight bob-sled ride. With his fair lady by his side That Ralph did actually decide That this experiment should be tried— So he lit his pipe, and tried to smoke. And soon he found he couldn't joke. And then his heart was almost broke When Julie gave him quite a poke And asked him. What's the matter, boy 'ton seem to be not filled with jov. Sh • tried to look at him right coy. But Ralph could only heave a sigh! And then that sigh became a groan. And soon that groan became a moan. And Ralph gasped out. I’m going home! And. leaving Julie there alone. He left the party in the sled. And betook himself straight home to bed!
