We and our parents appreciate the willing- ness with which the Urbana High School Board of Education members give their time and effort to manage efficiently our school. At the head of the Urbana schools is Mr. T. H. Cobb, superintend- ent. The thoroughness and fairness he has shown in management has gained for him our highest respect. T. H.

Hadden. Jane Keilholz Miss Paula Strohl. Miss Mabel D. Ricketts. Earl Paris From the beginning of regis- tration until the last grade is filled out on each student’s per- manent record card, our office force is continually busy. Their daily duties of attendance, dis- cipline, third hour bulletins, and records are varied with their in- terest in the actual life and per- sonalities of our high school. The office force is headed by friendly Mr. S. B. Hadden. His geniality and fairness make him not only a well-liked principal, but also a close friend to many students. Assistant Principal Miss Mabel D. Ricketts teaches German and supervises office work, assisted by Miss Paula Strohl. L(f to the iTimute 8 In an effort to bring parents and teachers into better under- standing of the pupil, a Guid- ance program was followed this year in the P.T.A. of Urbana High School. The three branches of study. Personal. Educational, and Vocational, were discussed in monthly meetings under the supervision of Mrs. G. T. Ross, president. One of the projects of the year was the donation of books to the school library: another, a gift of records to the Student Council for the school dance victrola. A Dad's night dinner highlighted the social activities of the year. Parent Teacher's Association Meeting P.T.A. OFFICERS: Mrs. R. P. Hoelscher. S. B. Hadden. Mrs. Glenn Ross. Mr. Fred Myers. Mrs. C.

Second Semester To all our friends- -many of whom we'll probably never see again ... to teachers who taught us so much we will prob- ably never fully be able to appreciate ... to Mr. Hadden, who gave us so many privileges and was a personal friend to so many of us . . . to Miss Ricketts, guardian of the office, fair and square in everything ... to Paula ... to all the teachers we will miss so much . . . goodbye! To the dear old High with its familiar corridors and class- rooms . . . Miss Bullock's, where each aspiring actor signed his John Henry on the window shades . . . the stage with its thrills of first night appearances and well-earned applause, the scene of many a hilarious Delta Sigma picnic ... to the library, the place where plans were laid, plots hatched, romances born, and killed when Miss Lympus separated whisperers: where we trailed as freshmen to look up un-understandable words in the big dic- tionary ... to the gym. the playground of athletes and the cheering ground of everyone: where titles have been won and lost, where school spirit has been born and died: where we danced in our first formals and received our first corsages ... to the classrooms where we studied, recited, flunked and carried off honors . . . goodbye. Urbana High and the four happiest years of our lives. SENIOR Cl.ASS OFFICERS: Joe Williamson. Vice-President: Alice Stiritz. Rosemary Represen- tative: Leo Klingclhoffcr. Secretary: Jim Smith.

Mr. William H. Lyons. Miss Gertrud Biedermann. Our samplings of literature and delvings into composition have made up a great deal of our study throughout high school. We've laughed at Shakespeare and Edward Lear: we've stumbled over participles and metaphors: we’ve written dog- gerel and called it poetry. We’ve all known the feeling of groping for the right word, of recalling memorized lines, and of linking story-book names with plots and authors. Our English courses give us fundamental knowledge of the best that has been written and the best that we can write. The English department sponsors the school publications—the newspaper and yearbook— which give practical training in the principles of writing. Graduates of the journalism class edit the paper. The Echo, and the class itself acts as re- porters. The advisory work is handled by Mr. William Lyons and Mr. Ryland Crary. The year- book. The Rosemary, is edited outside of school hours under the advisorship of Miss Ruth Rompel. Stipes. Whitten. Miss I.ympus. Sutcr. Wucllner.

Miss Lympus handed out 20.576 slips during the first semester this year. Recently the library has shown a great increase in circulation and volumes. A circulation record of a book and a half a month for every student in high school, or a doubling of last year's circulation, has been noted. Fiction heads the list of books checked out. with adventure stories leading the fiction list. The stacks have been increased by 240 books, making a total of 4.000 volumes. A new feature in the library is the card catalogue which is being arranged by the Bookslingers. This club also helps with library duty—two members working in the library each hour typing cards, check- ing books and helping in reference-finding. The officers for the year are: Alice Kimpel. presi- dent; Joan Wrather. vice-president: Alva Huelsen. secretary: Juanita Scaff. treasurer. 20,000 • • • Row 2—Titus. Crosby. Brownfield. Coulus.

As freshmen, we struggled through the first few weeks of algebra to find ourselves in a daze of unknowns, equations, negative numbers and fractions: and out of this jumble emerged our basic knowledge of higher math. From algebra we progressed to geometry, which combined our earlier learning with theorems and geometric figures. In advanced courses, more was expected of us. and imaginary numbers, ex- ponents. honor problems, cosines and tangants complicated and increased our interest in the intri- cate field of advanced algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry. For those of a more practical turn of mind, Urbana High has a course in business arithmetic where accuracy and speed make leaders in comput- ing interest, writing checks and adding long col- umns of figures. 53 Foreign Language instructors: Miss Eleanor Buck.

A Christmas play, Saturnalia, and Pyramus and Thisbe provided the en- tertainment at two of the meetings: a party in the form of a covered-dish sup- per. a weiner roast, and a Valentine party were held. T he year was climaxed by the annual Phi Epsilon banquet featuring white togas and Roman foods. This year the club was host to the District Latin Contest. Out of seven Ur- bana students entered in the District meet, five advanced to the Sectional held at Charleston. Anne Parry, Viola Hendricks and Andy Lee won the Sectional and the right to compete in the State Meet at Gales- burg. These activities were promoted through the efforts of Anne Parry, consul: Andy Lee. pro-consul: Viola Hendricks, scribe: Helen Whitson, quaester: Jim Bar- racks. praetor: and Miss Ethelyn Kirk, faculty adviser. 56 'ficm Smil to tfmmensee • • • GERMAN CLUB: Row I—Harme- son.

Wright One of the newly formed clubs at Ur- bana High this year is the German Club, which was organized in September under the sponsorship of Miss Mabel D. Ricketts. German instructor and vice-principal. Any- one having studied German for one year is eligible for membership. In monthly meetings the club has carried out its pur- pose of acquainting students interested in Germany with German customs, peoples, schooling, and ways of thinking. Highlights of the year were the Christ- mas party in the cafeteria when the mem- bers exchanged gifts and sang German songs, and an April dance in the gym. at which Mervin Browne’s Orchestra fur- nished the music. This was preceded by a swimming party in the pool. A covered dish supper, a scavenger hunt, and various speakers furnished interest at the other meetings. Officers for the year are: Francis Wright, president: Pauline Dietz, vice- president: Eileen Husman. secretary: Frank Wuellncr. treasurer: I.ois Davison, pro- gram chairman: Louis Mann, publicity chairman: Barbara Stewart.

'Thecriiei avib Sxpeiiments SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Everything from dissecting frogs to sound and light experiments is offered by the Science departments of Ur- bana High. It is divided into three sections—Physiology. Physiography. Physics-Chemistry, and Biology. The first two arc semester courses, while the last three are double- period laboratory sciences. The school has provided excel- lent equipment, and the teachers help the students to gain thorough structural foundation. This department sponsors a science club which gives those especially interested a chance to discuss their problems and increase their knowl- edge. Science Club: Row i—Lykins. Kerr. Gher. Stevens.

A crackle of an egg shell filled with syrup was heard, and an odious chemical was held to the nose. It’s the annual initiation of Science Club. After the initiate had gone through several other nerve-trying ordeals, a pot-luck supper was held in the cafeteria. During the year several speakers were secured for the regular meetings. At one. Dr. Tykociner. inventor of sound motion pictures, explained his invention of the sound with slides. Other speakers were Professor G. L. Clark, who gave an illus- trated lecture on X-rays, and Professor Van Cleave, who spoke on conservation. In September the club visited the Carle Hospital where Dr. Gianturco demonstrated the X-ray on several of the members. The officers for the year are: Dan Porter, presi- dent: Jim Barracks, vice-president: Margaret Rob- bins. secretary: Francis Wright, treasurer: Shirley Bauer, program chairman: Joan Radebaugh. social chairman: Bob Browne, sergeant-at-arms.

Art Instructor With filush ane) CanOas .. . ART DEPARTMENT Students in art classes this year have been given the opportunity to express their talents along many lines. Many different phases of art were introduced in order to hold the in- terest and develop the talents of each student. Wall-paper designing caught the eye of many and the artists put forth their originality in producing a varied supply of well-balanced, artistic designs. A complete study of Com mercial Art was offered for those whose inter- est lay in this field. During this time the students imagined themselves as commercial advertisers and designed ads for various busi- ness firms. Included in this work was the making of ad-layouts for magazines, design- ing candy-bar wrappers, and studying nu- merous printed alphabets. The highlights of the year were a field trip to Grubb Engraving Company, where the students saw the Echo put to bed. and several trips to the Architecture Building of the University of Illinois.

His spicy lec- tures add much to the routine material in the text. Ancient History, which usually attracts many freshmen, is taught by Miss Margaret Roy. who has taken the place of Miss Mildred Lawson during her year’s absence. Stress, in this class, is on the making of maps: and especial emphasis is placed on extra project work. Two new courses offered this year under Miss Susan Wood are Community Civics for freshmen and World History for upperclass- men. World History is interesting this year because of the many changes constantly made on the map. Civics' trials and voting arc enjoyed in Mr. Abraham Hornors required Civics classes. In the class period there are explanations of the government and the citi- zen’s part in it. Also interesting but not re- quired are Mr. Hornor s Economic classes. Social Science Instructors: Mr. A.

In advanced study, the students’ worries become more complicated with the addition of carbon copies, practise drills, and the necessity of typing letters from notes. Each student has several projects required of him in advanced stenography. One of the most important is the sending of a good copy of an OGA test to New York to determine the best shorthand writer. In Bookkeeping and Business Law Mr. Hampton has three objectives—vocational as- pects. college preparation and personal culture. In Business Law he emphasizes respect for gov- ernment, legal aspects that are confronted in Bookkeeping and Accountancy, and principles and facts which will help in everyday life.

Cooking classes planned meals, mar- keted. budgeted, visited groceries, warehouses, bakeries, and studied menus and table etiquette. Clothing classes offered not only the actual making of garments but the purchasing and repair of them as well. A new course this year. Advanced Home Making, was designed to help the girls in life problems. Phases included in this course were budgeting and borrowing money, furnishing and care of the home, health problems, marriage and child development. In the Manual Arts department under Mr. Adam Q. Bennett the boys worked with sheet metal, tool steel, and electricity. Some of the boys worked on foot-stools, hall-trees and book- shelves while two completed full-sized cedar chests. Hinkle.

Breaking away from the Tri-Hi troop of the past, which included University and Champaign High, the Girl Scouts of Urbana organized a troop of their own and held meetings every Tuesday night at the First Methodist Church. An increase in membership this year was probably due to the guest speakers secured for the meetings. Among the most interesting were Mrs. Helen Moore, who spoke on styles and Mrs. John Armstrong who discussed dress designing. Promoting activities the first semester were I.ois Davison, president: Betty Hedrick, vice-presi- dent: Vivian Crane, secretary: Betty Jo Lykins. treasurer. Second semester officers were Betty Jo Lykins, president: Patty Powell, vice-president: Dorothy Emsing. secretary: Virginia Gher. treas- urer. Troop leaders were Mrs. Carl Knox and Mrs. Hickman.

Its code is To create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. The platform contains four planks: Clean Speech. Clean Living. Clean Athletics, and Clean Scholarship. The club meets at the boys' homes on the first Monday of every month. There are twenty-five members in the club.

The Fool.” by Channing Pollock: the sec- ond semester class. Beauty and the Beast for the Children's Theater. In Stage-craft, one of the most interesting parts of dramatics, the students plan scenery and flats for major plays. On the night of the final production they work back stage with properties, lights, cos- tumes. and scenery. In the speech classes the students are given an opportunity to participate in all types of speaking including speeches, eulogies, introductions, radio work and interpretive reading. Screams of the lunatic and the sinister face of Count Dracula will long be remembered by those who saw Dracula. the play presented by the National Thespians of Urbana High School. The Thespians reorganized a chapter this year after several years of non-participation. The entire pro- duction was produced and parts were taken by the Thespian members with the aid of Mrs. Ethel Hamilton. They also helped in the production of the All-School Dramatics Night.

Early last fall they journeyed to Newton to an invitational non- decision meet. Later they attended another invitational meet at Charleston Teachers’ College in the form of an annual Speech Day sponsored by the College. In March to round out the year, ten teams attended a meet at Mansfield. During the year. Urbana has been host to Gibson City. Charleston Teachers’ College. Champaign and Newton in practice debates. In addition to tournament work, the debate department has sponsored a series of Intra- mural debates.

Arms Em- bargo. Extra-Curricular Activities. Effect of Movies on Children, and the present Farm Problem were a few of the subjects discussed. This year fourteen Urbana students went to Charleston Teachers’ College to enter an invitational practice speech and debate con- test. Each contestant gave his speech three times in three rounds before the final round. Russell Arnold, who gave a serious oration, and Betty Jo Lykins. who gave a humorous reading, reached the final round.

(Continued on page 138) 74 The Fool by Channing Pollock, a heart touching story of a young minister who gave up wealth to help the unfortunate, was presented January 7 and 8 by the dramatics classes under the direction of Mrs. Ethel Hamilton. The play takes place in the church of the Nativity. New York City, on Christmas Eve. Several church members have come to the church. The young minister. Daniel Gilcrist (Edgar Stein), who uses the pulpit to criticize the wealthy members of the church is asked to leave by Dr. Wadham (Charles Strong) on the re- quest of Charlie Benfield (Jay Gossett). Clare Jewett (Maxine Gladson). Daniel's fiancee, enters and Daniel tells her of his dis- missal and of his determination to continue his charity work. Because Clare puts wealth above charity, she breaks her engagement. 75 Louisa Mae Alcott's lovable story “Little Women ' was chosen this year for the junior play and was pre- sented April 5 and 6 under the direction of Miss Eliza- beth Turnell. The play takes place in the March home where the daughters. Jo (Betty Jo Lykins). Meg (Betty Dunn). Amy (Virginia Gher). and Beth (Bonnie Chesnut). Marmee (Mary Lou Pettys), and their father (Benny Clark) have led a comparatively quiet life. Meg. the eldest, begins to realize that she loves John Brook (Jim Mautz) and in spite of the disap- proval of Aunt March (Marie Ivens) and Jo. who is determined to keep the four girls together, they become engaged. The bond among the four is further broken by the death of Beth. Amy marries Laurie (Jack Schaffer) and the astounding surprise in the end is Jo's engagement to Professor Baer (Bill Severns). a German professor whom Jo met in New York. 76 Screams from both the cast and the audience greeted the Thespians’ production of “Dracula on April 25. when weird green lights, bats, and lunatic ravings cre- ated a proper background for the well-known horror story. The plot centers around Lucy Seward (Shirley Smith) and Renfield (Jim Mautz) who are haunted by Count Dracula (George Clark), a corpse by day and a vampire by night. Since Dr. Seward (Frank Middle- ton). her father, and John Harker (Edgar Stein), her lover, are quite disturbed over Lucy’s mysterious illness. Seward sent for his old friend. Professor Van Helsing (Bill Skelton) who is reported to know a great deal about such illnesses. After several harrowing days of scheming. Van Helsing traps Count Dracula at dawn in his coffin and drives a stake through his heart, putting an end to his evil doing.

With the record of several na- tional first places behind them, the 96-piece Ur- bana High School band practised diligently on Manx Overture. the required contest number. During the first semester, a series of programs were broadcast on Thursday morning overWDWS. Other programs were given before the Teachers' Conference and on City Armistice programs for Armistice day. Again they had the honor of be- ing the guest band at the State Band Contest. An informal program was presented for the Parents' Band Organization before a meeting at which the band parents discussed the means of sending the band to the National Band Contest at Battle Creek. Michigan. In spite of the fact that many contest winners graduated last year. Mr. Austin E. Carrels has successfully kept the band to its accustomed standards. Honors were won in district, state, and national contests by Urbana High Musicians. President of the band is Bill Skelton: vice-president. Philip Coldwcll: secretary. Edgar Stein: treasurer.

Under his direction, Urbana High School athletics have prospered out of all proportion to the school's enrollment. Next to the smallest school in the Big 12 Conference. Lew's” teams have compiled the following major sport records: Foot- ball—Rank third in all-time Big 1 2 stand- ings: undefeated in 1929. 193 3. 1956. and 1937: conference champions in 1929. 1936. and 1937. Track—Rank first, with nine championships in 14 years. Basket- ball—Conference champions in 1939-40 and mid-way in all-time standings. The high school fully appreciates the high standards set by Coach Stephens in citizen- ship as well as athletics. 'I Champi ions . Serving as head coach and athletic di- 88 Qile Gdoisel . . . For the last five years. Clark Youmans has acted as assistant coach in both foot- ball and basketball. His alert observations and intelligent suggestions have proved in- valuable to Mr. Stephens. Besides being a leader in our mathematics department and assistant in athletics. Mr. Youmans is also our head scout and an important member of the varsity board of strategy. Mr. Ray gwili.im Mr. Clark Youmans Urbana High School had its first con- tact with Ray Gwillim when, during a rain storm in 1937. a polished Roodhouse football team fell before Urbana s Big 1 2 Champions. The next fall Mr. Gwillim came to Urbana as mathematics instructor and assistant coach, and met with instant approval in the classroom and on the field. Quiet and serious. Gwillim's two-year rec- ord with freshman-sophomore football and track material is ample proof of his athletic knowledge. 89 flash talieSi Football Managers: inset — Ray Stevens, head manager: Waldron.

Whenever the play lagged a bit or the team needed backing, this cheerful group was there to arouse the cheering. The girls’ acrobatics and the boys' forceful leading aroused shouts of delight as well as support as the games progressed. When things looked blackest, volumes of noise were created to overcome the feeling of despair. Especially in the assemblies was their presence noticed, as it was there that shouts resounded noisily in the pre-game cele- brations. 90 U” CLUB: Inner Rout—Fritzen Ficbig. Coldwcll.

Mem- bership is accorded to those boys who win a major letter in one of the major sports of the school. This year the U” Club dance was a highlight of their activities with Bob Barnes' band presiding over a scene of the best decorations in the history of the dances. The false ceiling covered the drab gym and 20 foot curtains, bordered with the blue flaps, were nicely illuminated with concealed spots.'' Refresh- ments were on sale for those who cared to partake. Colorful formals drifted about the dimmed room and furnished a delightful scene. Paul Rector headed the club this year with Don Gladding following him as vice-president. Red Smith filled in as secretary-treasurer, for any funds that might be taken in. Other activities this year included the annual Turkey Run trip: Country Club dinner, where the outstanding athlete was presented and his name en- graved on a loving cup: and the sponsoring of the Urbana Relay Queen, who this year was blond Fran Helmericks. Displaying their school spirit, the U Club boys again ushered for the basketball games. • • • Hetfelman s duly 91 2 t6 9 Reason's Reccrlc) Ttant Tout Avg.

Many hours of practice took place before these young men could work together, but when they did. a fight was carried up and down the field. Injuries handicapped the team this year more than any previous one. From Jimmy Smith in the first game of the season, others went on the casualty list in nearly every game. Even practice games were not out of danger. Bud Sutherland breaking his ankle simi- Iiarly to Smith. As in any other sport, football brought a list of leaders and at the top seemed to be Bob Polston. a guard of outstanding ability on both offense and defense. Harold Franklin twinkled his stubby legs all over the gridiron and had the fans on their feet many times to watch his dazzling runs. Fred Green. Harry Anderson. Dick Phil- lips. Cameron Gullette. and Don Newman excelled in their spots and paved the way for the Tigers' wins. 94 f ri d Green Harold Franklin Dick Phillips End Half-back Quarter-back Green but willing Tigers failed to score in their first game of the season played on Elmhurst's heat-filled field. Fumbles undid precious minutes of piling up yards from scrimmage. Flashes of power were shown but these didn't coincide enough for any of the Stevemen to score. Penalties hurt the chances of Urbana and came at inopportune moments. Greatly felt was the loss of Jimmy Smith, red-headed senior, who sparked the play while in the line-up but was lost for the season when he fractured his leg on a punt play. The final score was 6-0. After trailing for three quarters, the valiant Tigers pulled out in the final count of 14-6 over the men from Paris. Harold Franklin, a tiny dynamo on piston-like legs, carried the pigskin over the goal line twice in the dramatic fourth stanza to give Urbana her points. Dick Phillips starred defensively at quarterback and Young and Williamson took his place when needed. Bob Polston fought a game battle, as he has from the beginning of football season. Urbana was unable to get started in this dis- mal game and Danville's slippery backs got through to score twice. The game was fought entirely in the Tiger's territory except for a few minutes in the final quarter when Gene Barnes recovered a fumble to start a late drive. The best playing in the line was furnished by Roy Hart and Dick Phillips, who starred in the back field. Urbana's punts outdistanced those of the Streaks. The Tigers came back to redeem themselves by ruining Decatur’s Big 12 opener with a 19 to 0 win. Harold Franklin scampered 64 yards to score on the third play of the game, and in the second quarter romped 85 yards with an intercepted pass to score again. Penalties halted the Reds, and Don Newman punted exceptionally well to push them back when needed. 95 Don Redmon End Jack Sanders Guard Joe D'Urso Full-back Harry Anderson again turned in a nice job of ball-carrying with a 12-yard average in five trips. Bob Polston. Dick Phillips, and Jack Sanders fur- nished great linebacking. Fumbles might have pre- vented a higher score as four were recorded during the game. Urbana rolled up 265 yards from scrimmage to 1 1 1 by the Streaks to show what she could do when aroused. Dick Phillip's passes led to points in the Momence game. 12 of the 18 points being scored on tosses by Dick. Urbana's superiority was shown by the box score which pointed out that the Tigers had 1 5 first downs to 5 by the enemy, and yards from scrimmage 190 to 12. Bob Polston again led in the line, and Harry Anderson and Dallas Peters teamed to turn in running honors and fine tackles. Don Newman averaged 40 yards on his punts although kicking from midfield. 96 The scarred Tigers fought valiantly, but Jack Lot , and Corwin Clatt of East Peoria splattered the line and scored twice to the Tiger's once. Fumbles were costly to Urbana in this game and set the stage for one of the Red Raiders' scores and ruined a threat by the Tigers. Harold Franklin's running was the chief asset of the Tigers, but Bob Polston did a dependable job and either was in on the pile at the line of scrimmage, or chasing after the ball-carrier. Twice he broke through to throw the Raiders back for losses. Urbana scored their second Big Twelve win with a 6 to 0 decision over Mattoon. Dallas Peters scored the only touchdown with a short run over the right side of the line. 'This play had been set up by a nice catch of one of Phillip’s passes. Harold Franklin turned in Bob Polston Guard Harry Andmrson Half-back Jim Smith Half-back 97 his usual swell game with a 51 yard run in the first quarter. Urbana had been picked to lose this one as the Green Towers had a fine team and had been slated to place high in the Big Twelve. As a whole the Urbana line showed up well with Bob Polston winning top honors. Champaign once more defeated Urbana but not until the Tigers had put fear into their hearts for three quar- ters. Led by Ray Grierson, the Maroons crushed through in the final quarter to gain a one point lead which ad- vanced to seven when a fumble led to another tally. It was a game full of thrills and a team of recognized power fighting against one which gave its all although it wasn't enough. There can't be much criticism after seeing the game fight put up by the under-dogs. Urbana. Job Williamson Quarter-back Sam Young Half-back John Cobb Center V 98 Benny Joni-s Guard FRED Wl-RTS Guard RUSSEI.I. Wesshi.s Half-back Urbana had been keyed up for the Champaign game and showed it in the Springfield match. The T igers had some consolation since they were the first team to cross the Solon’s goal-line during the season. Urbana scored her lone goal after the spectators had rushed on the field to congratulate the winners, only to be chased off the field by the referees. The game was almost over, but because of the anxiety of the audience, the Tigers got another chance and profited by it to the extent of pushing across the goal to score. Fumbles hurt Urbana's chances and spoiled many good plays. Green caught one of Dick Phillip’s passes for a 20-yard gain. Other players. Franklin. Anderson, and Wcssels carried the ball for nice gains. 99 jack Bryant Tackle PAUL l.ANI ERMAN End Outstanding men of the football season included Fred Green, tall center and later end. who filled his positions capably. Harold Franklin, speedy half-back scooted over the gridiron in every game, thrilling the frozen spectators with his long runs. Bob Polston. husky guard, hit the line hard and caught many an opponent behind the line of scrimmage. Harry Ander- son was a fast half-back, whose timely runs aided con- siderably. and whose fleet ness doomed the success of enemy plays. Dick Phillips tossed passes more and more frequently and connected for spectacular successes. Don Newman, whose heavy foot booted a whistling pigskin, frequently pushed the invaders back into their own territory. 100 Davi Sharp Guard Champaign vs. Urbana An ANXIOUS Bench: Row I—Jones.

Mr. Youmans' Cubs won eighteen games, lost six. and tied one this season. This one tie was a great moral victory as the game was played with Champaign B. who had previously defeated the Cubs by 12 points. In this game the players battled to a 16-16 tie not broken by three overtimes. One of the heartbreaks was the Decatur game, which was lost by one point, in the last three seconds. The Cubs took on all comers playing B teams, fresh-soph, and reserves. From a group of 44 boys who reported at the beginning of the sea- son. fifteen won numerals. Probably the boys who stood out as the leaders of the games were Halberstadt. Webster. Aron. D’Urso. and Gibson. These boys seemed to turn in good games consistently. Halberstadt was the high scorer of the season with a total of 88 points. Karl Aron was not used so much until the last five or six games, but had been developing all along and really began to excel in playing. He ended the season with 35 points, many of which were scored on “drive in” which takes skill to perfect. 'futuie Cltampicns • • • 108 Champaign vs. Urbana: Brown. Waldron. McAllister.

Hardin. Butts. liter—Hardin. Cher. Dunn. Hall. Valedictotij This evening we are assembled to say our last goodbye. On this night, each year passes swiftly in review before us. and we live again our high school career. Which one of us can forget the fear and uncertainty with which we entered for the first time this now so familiar building, or the superiority we felt a year later when, as sophomores, we gave direc- tions to the timid freshmen? In memory we will cheer again for the basketball and football cham- pionships Urbana won. and perhaps grieve a little over games which were lost. We will remember in the years to come the plays we saw or took part in. the parties and dances we attended, and the many ether activities we enjoyed together. During these high school years, our teachers and parents have guided us. Their ideals have become, in a great part, ours: and it is to them that we owe much of what we arc today and what we hope to be. Graduation is not an end. but a beginning. For years, our paths have been comparatively easy to follow. But from now on the way is steeper, the path rougher. We shall have to decide the way we shall go and take alone the consequences of hasty or wrong decisions. There is a challenge in the future which did not exist in the past. Each one of us alone will decide whether to be a success or a failure and each of us will be responsible for his life. We accept this challenge, and with the ideals of our parents and teachers before us. stumble up our hard paths. 'T here will be many crosses on the way. but the view from the top. of our lives, clean and straight- forward. will compensate any hardship along the way. And so. we bid goodbye to four years of high school, four years that have been filled with many happy memories, four years that have passed all too quickly. It's going to be hard to say goodbye to a lot of things—comradeships that we formed as freshmen and that strengthened as we grew older: intellectual friendships with our teachers: dances, plays, and athletic games. All the things that have grown to mean so much to us we will have to bid gooybye. High school was the preview of our lives. Through four years our teachers have had glimpses of what our futures will hold. From this day on. we must prove that their expectations of us can come true. Lois Davison. Anne Parry. Jeannette Ross.

Tonight we re- view the four years we have spent here, perhaps a little sadly, when we realize that it is all over. To many of us it only marks the completion of a vital step toward a goal—to gain the highest education possible. For others, it means the end of carefree days, for now we must take upon ourselves the burden that has been on the shoulders of our parents for so many years. We can no longer think days ahead, but must think years ahead. Whatever we choose to do will have its background in what we did and what we gained within these walls. Too few of us realize that we have had the opportunity to learn more than just Readin . Kitin'. Rithmetic. All of our work has encouraged us to be original, to be resourceful. It all has helped us from habits that we will carry through life. Dependability, cooperative ness, punctuality are but a few of these. Also, our clubs have aided us to obtain a certain social poise, although not perfect, at least better than what we had four years ago as “green'' freshmen. None of us shall ever forget our teachers and the impressions they have left upon us. I think everyone will agree with me when I say that whether we like a course or not depends a good deal on the teacher. The teacher can enjoy the class hour with us. or he can make it a dark spot in the day. I believe there are few here who can truthfully say that they found a certain course a dreaded dark spot each day. We want to thank all connected with our edu- cation here for making it the pleasantest we ll ever know. We wish to welcome parents and friends, as well as teachers, to this class night program.

As the night passes, a hysterical girl. Julia Price (Lydia Hilburn) and two companions. Herbert Price (Edgar Stein), and John Sterling (Bill Skel- ton) enter. The girl seems drawn to the station by the mystery. About 12:00 a train whistle is heard in the distance bringing the phantom train. As it roars past the station Julia Price goes to the window, breaks the glass, and falls to the floor. While the people are trying to revive Julia. Jackson (Albert Livick), a federal man. who has been summoned by Teddy Deakin. who turns out to be another federal agent, arrests Julia Price. Herbert Price. John Sterling and Saul Hogkins. who staged the mystery to smuggle dope. Congratulations! FIELD’S 7 Main St., Champaign, 111. Apparel : Accessories : Millinery : Shoes Harshbarger Implement Co.

Miss Ricketts, and the faculty, we. the 1 80 members of the Class of 1940. having survived the required strenuous mental examination (meaning finals for the past four years), and sensing that our four-year sentence is nearing its termination, do hereby declare this to be on last will and testament, thereby abro- gating all former documents of similar nature. In the following clauses we. as a class, leave behind us certain of our most outstanding, valuable character- istics and belongings in order that Urbana High School may receive and be benefited thereby. To the lively Juniors we relinquish our position as leaders in the school and hope that they will be worthy of so dignified a rank. To the Sophomores we leave our names written on the classroom walls. That’s childish fun anyway. To the Freshmen we can leave nothing but sym- pathy and the hope in time the green will wear off. To the office we leave our list of unused excuses. To Miss Nelson we leave a complete set of pro- tracters. rulers, and compasses for her trig classes. To Miss Rompel we leave All-American status for each future Rosemary for which she will be adviser. To Miss Biedermann we leave our themes, and we're glad to get rid of them. To Mr. Hornor. alias “Rosebud. we leave our heartiest congratulations as the most promising hen- pecking bride Urbana High School has ever sent forth into the world of matrimony. To Mr. Crary we leave Mr. Hampton, or vice- versa—it's the same difference. We leave to our librarian. Miss Lympus. dark glasses and ear plugs. That’s the only possible recipe for peace and quiet. To “The Wizard Tilbury we bequeath a book on the merits of H O. As is the time-worn custom of Senior class wills, certain individuals bequeath some of their treasured qualities to the underclassmen, and we can be no exception to this tradition.

'Felling 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 tent 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 'Til 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 man must be made a friend. The struggles, fighting, all must end If the tribes of Illinois Were to live and not to die. He gathered his chiefs together then And bade them bring both women and men. To meet the white man near this spring. With Indian chant and tom-tom's beat The ceremony was complete. They buried a hatchet as a sign of peace: And promised all their wars to cease. They kept their word, and as time passed on Urbana grew to be a town. The schools were formed: the high school too. Was added as the system grew. One day—we do not know the year So cannot tell it to you here— Some senior lads from Urbana High Stopped at the spring, as they passed by. To quench their thirst. One kicked the ground And heard a hard and ringing sound. Then they one and all would see What this amazing thing might be That, buried beneath the hard earth’s crir.t. Responded thus to his gentle thrust. They dug it forth and brought to light The very hatchet you see tonight Chicagou's hatchet, ancient, old. Whose legend hath just now been told. They made it a mascot for their class. And decided it should onward pass To each senior class as it came in line: And so it has. to this very time. But each class must prove its right to it By showing forth its power of wit: In mental contest, strong and bold. But not with weapons as of old. The classes meet by proxy: I From the senior class do cry A challenge to the junior clan. Upon this stage to produce their man. To answer in person for his class. Before, to them this hatchet may pass. SENIOR: Well, here comes Tarzan. I declare. He’s all dressed up. with well-combed hair. It makes him look so long and thin. Like an elongated common pin! But I'll bet he comes with shaking knees. Worst than when he’s climbing trees! That's his sport—'tis quite a lark To climb the trees at Crystal Park. He climbed a tree away last fall.

He bestrode the limb, and scarce could bide The time till he began to slide. Bout half way down he struck a snag That tore his trousers to a rag. It did a thorough job. complete. That left his trousers with no seat! The wind was cold, the air was raw How could he get home to ma? Well, the shivering lad. in greatest haste. Tied his sweater round his waist. And wore it there, as boys oft do Like an apron, hind side to. But Tommy says he never wore His sweater on behind, before! Junior: I may be tall and long and thin. So that you hardly reach my chin I wear a shoe, like most of men. Number eleven, or maybe ten. But you. I hear, did squeeze your feet To make them look quite small and neat. A foot that should wear number six. You squeezed and pushed and worked and fixed. Till that little foot, as I’m alive. Appeared one day, in a number five. But when to meeting you did go And sat there for an hour or so. Those toes began to work and squirm. And pain, and itch, and even burn. And then you tried, unseen, a ruse To remove those little shoes! And oh. such joy —but such chagrin When you’d put them on again No matter how you pushed and stewed There was too much foot for either shoe. — But only you or your mother, knows How you ruined your Sunday hose As you walked home in your stocking feet Through lonely alley and deserted street! 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! 1 promise you. Without ado. To give you a better one still! JUNIOR: CHARLES ANDREW LEE Andy studied hard on words And filled his head with Latin verbs. The indicative was bad enough. But subjunctives were such awful stuff! The gerunds and gerundives too.

His brow was furrowed deep with frowns As he crammed his brain with Latin nouns. But when the contest day was here Andy had lost most all his fear! He wrote and wrote, and did so well That he was proud results to tell. For in this strenuous Latin race He had landed second place. But he blushed a bit. e'en his cars were red And. stammering, the poor boy said When asked if many wrote or few. “Why — if you insist on knowing — there were two!” SENIOR: BETTY JO LYKINS “Oh! Oh! Oh!” cried Betty Jo. And opened wide her eyes. She looked so fair a-standing there All twittering, with surprise! For she couldn't conceive, on Christmas Eve. What Bobbie might have brought her. She cried “Egad!” for the box he had Was so monstrous big it got her. With trembling hands, she cut the bands. And untied the strings around it.— And then her eyes, showed more surprise When at last she’d found it!— 1 was not a book, nor fishing hook. Nor anything to wear.— Twas not a ring, nor anything But a three-foot teddy bear!— With face alight, she hugged it tight. Her heart was filled with joy. But ne’er a word from her was heard. Except these two—“Oh. Boy!” Since then, tis said, when she goes to bed. She takes, with tender care. And by her keeps, while she's asleep. This big brown teddy bear! Junior: LOIS MAXINE GLADSON Maxine’s often in a stew And doesn’t know just what to do! And often is in quite a spot Because there’s something she’s forgot. She came to school, one day. a sight. After she had spent the night At Lucille’s home! They’d taken a hike. Each girl riding on a bike: Maxine had taken greatest care.— Brought a ribbon for her hair, A sweater, and some anklets, too. Each of them a matching blue.— So that she could dress for school. And really look quite beautiful.— BUSEY STATE BANK In Urbana Since 1868 DEPOSITS GUARANTEED UNDER GOVERNMENT PLAN MEMBER OF F.D.I.C. 153 BURTON TRELEASE BEST WISHES REAL ESTATE • TRAVEL SERVICE INSURANCE OF Wright Street just South of Green S. S. KRESGE CO. Champaign, Illinois Hatchet Olation She even had nice clean shirt,— And then she found she'd brought no skirt! And Lucille’s dress that Maxine wore Could really cover two or more Of girls like Maxine, short and thin.— And maybe three could wiggle in! Maxine’s serious minded, too. And always really tries to do. What the teacher tells her to! In stage-craft class one day last week. They sent her out to search and seek A board stretcher and some spotted ink! Maxine didn’t stop to think.— But hunted round for quite a while: Then reported back without a smile.— She'd searched the sheep chute, through and through— They’d given her something she couldn’t do! Senior: FREDERICK SHEPHARD GREEN They say a grin will help you win A friend on each occasion: And we all know, a smile may show Naught but pure elation: But we have heard from a little bird That Fred got no ovation.— Though naught of guile was in his smile. In his own estimation. When, with face abeam, he met the team. The Danville delegation. That smile sincere, they thought a sneer. And showed their irritation! The game was rough.—we’ve said enough. 'Twas an abomination! Loo bad a smile could really rile Such an aggregation! But basketball is not at all His only aspiration! For he can prance, at a social dance,— Set his feet in agitation! But his six-foot five, needs, as I’m alive. Special accommodation! False ceilings low. as ceilings go. Are quite an aggravation,— Need special props, as Freddie hops. To avoid decapitation! Junior: LOIS MARVYL DAVISON O. Lois had a mousie.— Twas a pretty white one too. She put it in a big glass jar. As she was told to do! And then she pumped in oxygen. For the ‘Chem’ class all would know. If the oxygen would make The mouse run to and fro! The experiment was working well When a skeptic in the class Asked Lois how she really knew That 'twas oxygen in the glass. Then Lois took a little stick And burned the end. you know. Not 'till it was flaming But till twas all aglow! And then she held it ready Explaining to the class. If there’s really oxygen. Of flames you'll see a mass!” It really happened all so quick. That O-oohs-” quite filled the house: For Lois had forgotten That pretty little mouse! 'Twas burned so very badly From little tail to head. That Lois had to take it out And chloroform it dead. Some day, perhaps, you'll see its bones. For Lois may let you see ’em— They say she’s taken its skeleton To add to her museum! Senior: ANNE CHARLOTTE FLETCHER Said Mr. Hadden. Something’s wrong. That noise has gone on far too long.— Paula, will you go and see What the trouble in the hall might be? Paula went, and soon returned Smiling over what she’d learned.— For naught was really wrong at all. ’Twas just Anne Fletcher in the hall! Poor Anne!—as always, was you see. As busy as a buzzing bee! Anne bustles out the door as soon As school is out in the afternoon.— And wends her way to the corner store Where she spends an hour or more! We hear that Annie didn't think The Huddle man could mix a drink! She had to do it all herself— Took down each bottle from the shelf. Poured a bit of this, a bit of that For fear her drink would taste too flat! 154 SAGAMORE MEMBERS: Row' I—Whitten. Miller. Stiritz. Corkcry. Conklin. Wrather. Hedrick. Davison. Hauser. Hill. Ross.

She really feared that she would die.— And then she vowed she ne’er again would think That she could mix herself a drink.— But we feel quite sure the Huddle man Could not exist without our Anne. Junior: BETTY DEL-ORES FREEMAN The night was nice and balmy. The air was fine to feel When Betty took a group of friends In her Oldsmobile. They rode around, went up and down Many a city street. Lydia cried at last. I’m starved. I think it’s time to eat!” After talking quite a while. On which place pleased them most. They decided all would like it best To eat at the Goal Post”— The hamburgers tasted mighty good,— Each girl enjoyed a coke.— But when twas time to pay for it. Each girl was really broke!— Each one searched her pocket.— Each one exclaimed aloud!— But for all they searched they couldn’t find A nickel in the crowd! They thought they'd have to work it out,— To wash dishes or to scrub.— 'Twas the only way they knew. To pay for all the grub!— At last the manager agreed To let them say adieu— If each would take a little slip.— And sign an I.O.U. SENIOR: JOHN ELDON COBB Johnnie never seemed to know When he was all together.— Whether he had both socks and shoes And his football cap of leather. When the football team went up to York. How John did dig and delve.— But he’d brought one shoe of number seven. And the other number twelve! So with one foot small, and one foot big. He plowed up and down the field. While the other team, when they looked at him. With laughter were congealed! Then Johnnie thought, like other boys. He couldn't be a man.— Till he'd learned to chew tobacco, Like some other fellows can. So one night, on the practice field.— L ie bit off quite a wad.— And chewed and chewed, and spit a lot Of brown juice on the sod! But—did he feel cheap, when he looked 110?— For Pa Cobb was standing near! And we have heard that then and there. Came the end of John's chewing career! Junior: RICHARD BURRES WAGNER Fifty miles an hour, you know. For Dick is far too few.— 155 Hatchet Oiaticn He’s much more likely on a drive To speed up to eighty-two. Bob Simon wasn’t bothered:— Jim Barracks was quite calm too. But Dick’s erratic driving Kept Miss Rompel in a stew! His speedometer was broken.— So Miss Rompel never knew. If he were going fifty. Or maybe ninety-two! They passed the Panama Limited And gave a wild “Halloo! — When Jeanette waved out the window And gave a greeting too! When they reached Chicago, late that night. Dick was almost dead— He'd driven so fast, and was so tired. That he went straight to bed. When Bob and Jim came to the room. He’d covered up his head. But he was restless in his sleep.— And. turning on his bed. Pointed his finger right at Bob.— And in a voice that boomed.— Cried out in rage. “Now. will you please Get that woman out of my room!’’ Senior: DOROTHY MARGARET O’DONNELL Dorothy thought, one winter night. That she’d be home alone. For Dad and mother had gone out And Bob was not at home. Though the wind was blustery, cold, without. And ’twas no time for sports.— The house was warm and pleasant. So she donned a pair of shorts. A sleeveless waist was warm enough To fool around the house.— So she donned, to be real comfy. An abbreviated blouse. Anne came in and spent an hour As girls are wont to do.— Then Dorothy stepped outside the door To bid her friend adieu.— The door slammed shut, alas, alack!— For Dorothy had no key. And there she stood and shivered With bare head. arms, and knees! She tried the windows, one by one. Not one would give an inch. Tho' both girls pushed with all their strength! Then Anne said. “It’s a cinch We can't get in that way.— I'll have to hunt your dad and ma. But they're six blocks away.'— So Dorothy shook and shivered there J ill Anne came running back And then she swore the next cold night. She'd don a pair of slacks!

Urbana, Illinois Phone 7-4077 The 'fed (Continued from page 75) As Daniel is pondering, he hears a voice of a poor man (Sam Young) urging him to go on with his plans. A year later Mr. George Goodkind (Frank Middleton), trustee of Daniel's father's es- tate. has a strike in his mines and he asks Daniel, who has been appointed foreman, to outline a plan to settle it. Daniel does, but his plan does not meet with the approval of the directors and he is again dismissed from a job. Still determined to help others. Daniel opens a house called Overcoat Hall. and takes to help him a little crippled girl. Mary Margaret (Doris Hulbary). One night Clare Jewett, now married to wealthy Jerry Goodkind (Jim Mautz), comes begging Daniel to take her back, because of Jerry's cruelty. Daniel tells her that her place is with her husband. I.ater that same evening a mob of angry mine workers come to Overcoat Hall to take Daniel away. Umanski (Henry Fritzen). a for- eigner. whom Daniel has helped, tries in vain to stop the mob. The mob rushes at Daniel to kill him when a miracle happens and the cripple drops her crutches and runs to Daniel, thus saving his life. Other members of the cast were Mr. Henry Gilliam (Mary Davis). Mrs. Thornbury (Joan Crosby), Dilly Gilliam (Jeannette Ross). Mr. Barnaby (Earl Surbaugh). Mrs. lice (Marjorie Basden). a servant (Julie Lang), Max Stedtman (Russell Arnold). Joe Henning (Rex Brown). Grubby (Bill Skelton). Mack (John Littler), Pearl Hennig (Frances Helmericks). Mrs. Mulli- gan (Phyllis Chamberlain). Mrs. Henchley (Ruth Claussen), Mr. Henchley (Louis Mann). Miss Lev- inson (Margaret Johnston). Tony Malduca (George Clark), and the mob. 159 genial Cl ass Prophecy Before me stretched a long, uninteresting eve- ning. Idly. I fingered the buttons on the Lloyd Brown “Reflect-O-Graph, the new television in- strument that had recently been installed in my room by Jim Metcalf, the television repair man. The machine was supposed to be able to reveal life in every section of the country. Wondering what was happening to my former classmates since our graduation twenty years before. I pushed the button marked “East.” and to my surprise. I found myself looking down a hall in the United States capitol building. Two mighty Senators from Illinois, Ar- nold and Middleton, were engaged in a heated dis- cussion as to whether Betty Ann Hill, first woman president, should run for a fourth term. They were rudely interrupted by a group of giggling, middle- aged women begging for autographs. I gasped as I recognized Virginia Rayborn. Frances Peabody. Marjorie Moore, and Doris Johnson. Farther down the hall the machine focused on the mighty clean-up man. Howard Licht. sweeping the halls. In his eagerness to gel finished, he nearly knocked down Bob Simon, head of the United States Information Service, who was walking with Betty Hedrick, famous international diplomat, and Paul Rector. Secret Service Spy. Stepping into the hall. Betty Hoelscher. noted woman lawyer, joined the trio as they progressed down the corridor. Miss Hoelscher had recently aroused nation-wide criti- cism when she divorced her husband. Philip Cold- well. on charges that he took her false teeth and ransomed them for five dollars. The next scene was in New York. The first spot shown was Leo’s Den for Afternoon lea Dancing.” Near the door welcoming guests, was the manager. Leo KlingelhofTer. flanked by his famed gigolos. Jay Gossett and Carroll Shaw. Just inside was the prominent cartoonist. Virginia Adams with her husband. Kenneth Waldron. It must have been the occasion of one of their rare reconciliations. They joined George Clark. Lois Davison, and Bill WikofT. George was a mere skeleton of his former self. He was withering away due to the effects of a fiendish gas that he had perfected to wipe out civili- zation. Doctor Lois Davison said that the end was near, and mortician Bill WikofT was already gloating over the prospective corpse. Both were Mr. Clark’s constant companions. Frank Wuellner and his Wuell Cals provided the music with Doris King vocalling. As Leo’s Den faded from view, a man-on- the-street-program took its place. Bob Browne, the announcer was interviewing the crowd on the corner by the Empire State Building. First to be inter- viewed was Anne Parry, Latin professor, hurrying home from classes at Columbia. Irene Kent, secre- tary. and Dan Porter followed. Dan was high in the world now. for he was washing windows on the one hundred and second floor of the Empire State. In a studio in Radio City. Jim Barracks was giv- ing the daily news blast. A general alarm was sounded for two escaped convicts. Bill Tuff-Egg Bremer, and Dave Sharp-Eye Sharp. A dragnet was being put out to capture the dangerous menace to the Government. Bill Skelton, leader of the Con- federate Revolution. One of his followers. Thomas Arie. Earl Holler, or Joe Johnson, must have squealed. Phil Mulholland. democratic candidate for governor of New York had just been found shot in the head. A case of suicide was the verdict ren- dered by the Coroner's Court. The news flashes over, the scene shifted to an- other studio where the program Famous Firsts and Their Intimate Moments was in progress. Inter- viewer. Rhea Bedford, was telling of the lives of 160 SADin HAWKINS' RACERS—Fay. Keilholz. Brahana. Seed. Vaniman. Leddcrboge. ------------1865 - 1940 Jos. Kuhn Co.

Next was Jack Bryant, the first in bums on tramp steamers. Rhea went to give the daily sport news and in the studio with him. 1 saw Don Gladding, twice winner of the world's record in the mile: Jim Dunn. 1960's Olympic Skating Champion: Benny Jones, celebrated negro boxer: and Muriel Schulenberg. loser of the Wimbleton Tennis Championship to Margaret Johnson, her deadly rival. On the Famous Women and How You Get to Know Them program. I saw Bill Childers ques- tioning a few notables. Among these were Doris Hulbary. now the mate of Junior Maguire, the sec- ond Tarzan: Betty Freeman, the world’s miracle—a woman who won't talk: Louise Titus, celebrated in the courts of kings as a noted psychiatrist: Mary Davis and Ruth Claussen. matrons of the institution for worn out Urbana High School students: Ruth Stipes, distinguished missionary who hoped to get to heaven on a mule: and Julie Lang, a teacher for old ladies on how to keep young. The Reflect-O-Graph next took me to Chi- cago by the simple trick of pushing a button marked Middle West.” At the home of Bonnie Hall, fa- mous head of the society for the prevention of over work among high school girls, a large reception was taking place. Mary Ellen Lee. a settlement worker, and Cameron Meat Axe Gullette. new manager of Swift's slaughter house, were engaged in balancing their plates on their knees. Shirley Dye. concert pianist, was supplying the entertainment. Busily engaged in conversation off in one corner were Andy Lee. dress designer, and Marjorie Brenneman. re- nowned novelist. The nationally known illustrator Jim Red” Smith, and his wife, the former Alice Stiritz. were trying to hold Sam Young in one place long enough to ask him about his manufacture of Indian relics, which he was selling to church societies for the benefit of the heathen. Maxine Gladson. first lady of the stage, was conversing with Mile. Lucille Carr, head of an exclusive New York beauty salon, about a different type of make-up which would suit Miss Gladson's face and coloring better. Just then. Naomi Leming. Miss Hall's maid, spilled hot tea down the neck of Estelle Frank, horoscope reader, and the picture faded. Jeanne Brown. Lucille Carr. Maxine Gladson. Bill Bremer.
