CLASS HISTORY In the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty-one the Villa Grove Township High School was blessed by the arri- val of sixty-four freshmen from across the river. We wandered about the corridors looking in this room and that room, wondering where our next class was to be held. But after several weeks of loitering, we found our places, settled down and became just other students. The class chose es its leaders Coady Johnson, presidentg Hughla Thornton, vice-president, Pauline Garrett, secretary, an Joe Burrus, treasurer. Miss Hulda Johnson and Miss Gorda Wilsc acted as sponsors. V The social activities of the class were few--a party in February and a picnic in the the spring. Members of our class were represented in bend, orchestra, athletics and various other activities of the school. Our sophomore year was somewhst similar to our freshman year. ' The officers leading the class in MSB' were Fred Van Rhee- den, president, Lois Parr, vice-presidentg Kenneth Kost, sec- retary and Hughle Thornton, treasurer.i Sponsors were Miss Esther Jones and Miss Hulde Johnson. A ' The social events were one less than that of the preced- ing year with only a Halloween party being held. One member of our class boeeme n lettermen in football, end one placed in the Oknw Valley Musical Contest. Also mem- bers of our class were cast in the WGypsy Rovern sn cperetta put on by'the Glee Clubs. ' As we stepped into our Junior year we had a better com- prehension of what high school life was really all about. Our Junior play nLaugh Glown,W s three-act mystery comedy, was e big success. - I Four Juniors received letters in football end one in bass ketbnll. The class ended the year successfully by giving the Senio. their annual Junior and Senior Prom. . The class officers were: president, Joe Burrusg vice-pre: dent, Hughla Thornton, secretary, Frank Emerg and treasurer, Pauline Garrett. Our senior year we had six lettermen in football, two of whom made all-Okaw Valley players. They were Capt. Robert Dalrymple, a guard, and Frank Baer, a center. Four Seniors were awarded letters in basketball. Charles Rogers was placed in a forward position on the all-Okaw Valley team. The senior play NPeach Tree Roadn was presented with overwhelming success. Six Seniors entered the Band Solo contest at Urbana. The class of N340 was lead through its senior year with Pauline Garrett, presidentg Fred Van Rheeden, vice-presidentg Lois Parr, secretaryg and Francis Gilbert, treasurer. Miss Grace Speers and Mr. L. V. Racster were our sponsors. The Senior Ball, Class Day, Baccalaureate, and Commence- ment put an end to our four happy and well-spent years in high school. But, perhaps, it is best for the school. So we will say adieu to the Villa Grove Township High School, to which many of us, no doubt, will owe our success in the future CLASS WILL i We, the Senior Class of the Villa Grove High School, who are known for their power of concentration and eagerness to learn, but who are about to separate and scatter to parts un- known, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testa- ment. y We, the Senior Class, do hereby bequeath our dignified habits and our ability to Wwheedlen the teachers to the Freshman Class.

Well, I either met or learned from those I did meet about the entire class. Now that is quite a coincidence. 'Joe Burrus' band is now playing in the Coconut Grove, of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, and nCigarH Johnson is playing a saxophone and doing the vocal work for him. WI met Cecil Fristoe runnin a newsstand in Hollywood and trying to double for Roscoe ?StutteringJ Ates on the side. Here is a movie magazine I purchased from him, and in it I' read of several members of the class of H540 who are making good in the movies. WElizabeth Soard, now an actress, is suing Wayne Combs, a camera man, for breach of promise. I thought that affair would end that way. It also gives the life story of Pauline Garrett, who came to Hollywood to capture the heart of Franchot Tone, failed, and being broke, needed a job. She was hired as an extra and worked up to stardom. It says she might accomplish her first mission after all. 'I attended a show featuring Fleta Bennett and Walter Schackel in a new musical comedy. Fleta and Walter are now a famous dance team. . UOne morning in a barber shop I met Jimmie Duncan get- ting his Adolph Hitler's mustache trimmed by Wilbert Mayer, who is now barbering in Hollywood. CJim is now a gigolo and I understand one of his best customers is Helen McQueen.J Jim said he received a letter from the great Baer, the all- Okaw Valley Center, who with his wife, the former Mary Griffith, are operating a large poultry farm in Fairland. WBob Ford.Wae covering the-game for the New York Herald Tribune. He is finally making good in the newspaper racket. nThat was all of the gang I met on the coast, but I met several others on my trip home, which I made by car. NWhi1e in Denver I are my lunch in a restaurant owned and operated by John Chunges. He is still single, but has half a dozen on the string. 1 ' - nJust out of Denver I drove into a Sinclair filling Station for gas and oil and who should come out to wait on me but Dorothy Jean Lewis, who is now married to that red-headed post-grad of '34.' ' i ' , g 'We noticed several bill boards, 'Use Reinhart's Dairy Products.' Ed's finally making good. Wln Kansas City I attended the Paramount Theatre which is now under the management of Fred Van Rheeden. He is now married to a former resident of Champaign. On the stage were a group of famous impersonators who turned out to be members of the class of '34.' Christine Martin gave a wonderful im- personation of Greta Garbo, and Honshell Dossey was a wow at doubling for Schnozzle Durante.' Mary Reick, impersonating Mae West, is helping bring her curves back in style. In the pit was Bob Dalrymple conducting the theatre symphony orchestr 'In St. Louis I looked up Wayne Hanawalt who, I heard, was a famous doctor and has Hughla Thornton and Marcella Eisenmenger as his private nurses. ' 1 'He says Sam Warren is making good in the city selling peanuts and Paul Lowry has gained his greatest ambition,, which was to own a bakery and eat up all the profits, and from what Wayne says he is doing a nveryu nice job of it. WBecause my car broke down, I took a plane from St. Louis to Champaign which was operated on the Backensto Air Lines. The pilot was Kenneth Kost and the hostess was none other than Frances Hackett. WBeoause of bad weather I was forced down on the Walter Davis farm a few miles south of to Villa Grove in his old Model night. Camargo.

G. H. S., but we hope that it is not just another Junior Class. On the second of September, 1951, fifty-eight students from the surrounding territory were launched upon their high school careers. The class was organized and its officers elected. The presidency was ably filled by Hillis Kendallg the vice-presidency by Lillian Ghungesg the office of treasur- er, by Nellie Bairdg and that of secretary by John Ernest. Four of its members made the football squad and two made the basketball squad. Many turned out for track. In the Dramatic Contest held here we entered one member. About the middle of the last semester we took a trip into the country, accompanied by our sponsors, Miss Wilson and Mr. Raoster, and held a Weiner roast. , Many of our students made the honor roll regularly and our class was off to a good start. , The next year we returned to school as full-fledged Sophomores. ,No longer were we spoken of as Ugreen.U The class was immediately organized and the following officers elected: president, Peri Thorntong vice-president, Philip Clenentzg treasurer, Dean Fultong and secretary, Pauline Hodgson. This year our sponsors were Miss Johnson and Miss McCabe. Many of our members participated in athletics and the various clubs that were organized. Again our members ex- celled in their studies and many of them made the honor roll consistently. In the homecoming parade our members parti- cipated as a group adding their share to the procession. Upon entering our junior year we suddenly became aware that we were no longer underclassmen and that we must con- duct ourselves accordingly. With Miss-Miller and Hics Johnson as sponsors the class was organized under the leadership of these officers: president, Philip Clementzg vice-president, Peri Thornton, treasurer, Nellie Baird, and secretary, John Ernest. We soon discovered that our treasury was practically empty and certain methods for earning money were soon put in effect. With things working smoothly in this direction, we turned our attention to the Junior play. A mystery play called nThe Accusing Fingern was chosen and presented with apparent success. SOPHOXORE HISTORY Hail to the class of Ween I The sophomore class of 1955- 54 was proud to be the largest class in V. G. H. S. with an enrollment of sixty-six members. We were also proud of the important part we played in the activities of the school. Every Sophomore should be oroud of his class and should ,A To the band we contributed a total of ten members, to the Girls Glee Club te contributed eighteen members, and to the athletic activities of the school we contributed a group of boys of whom we were exceptionally proud. In football last fall we furnished a squad of sixteeng four of these made the first team. Those four were Herbert Patton, Harold Millar, John Harrison, and Lon Ernest. other sophomore boys who saw service were Leo Reinhart, Shot Eal- lard, Raymond Chambers, Bill Gerrard, Franklin Gozad, John Cunningham, and Barry Arnold. Barry Arnold would have urooubt- Nedly ranked as first team material in both football and bas- ketball if he had not been held hack by injuries. We hope Barry will be more fortunate next year. In basketball at the end of the season eight sophomores remained on the squad. Two of those, Herbert Patton and Harold Millar, made the first team. Barry Arnold, John Cun- ningham, and Chet Ballard have been good second team material. Last year the freshman track team, sophomores this year, won the Okaw Valley meet, the Urbana meet, and first place at Springfield. This extraordinary team consisted of Herbert Patton, Harold Millar, Leo Reinhart, and Barry Arnold. do his part to keep The shall be year in high school the high standard we have obtained. FRESHMAN HISTORY past year, especially which has gone so quickly, was one which remembered by our class. It was our first and a most important one to us. At the beginning of the year, under the guidance of our sponsors, Miss McCabe and Coach Hall, officers were elected. Marjorie Clementz was elected president, Chester Dale Ander- son, vice-presidentg Thelma Phillips, secretaryg and Donald Phillips, treasurer. At Thanksgiving, we planned a party, and extended an in- vitation to the faculty. A game similar to bunco, called UTur keyn was first played. Pantomimes were acted out and then came the relays. This was the time to find out that teachers are just normal people after all. Many Freshmen have entered school activities such as Glce Club, G. A. A., Band, Orchestra, and Violin Class. Those in the Christmas play were all Freshmen. The play had eight characters. 1: ,we will no longer be Greenies , but Sophomores We will st ll be the same as we are this year, with an'older ap pearance.

In spite of the seriousness of the theme the play was filled with much comedy created by some very rare characters. One of the high points of the play was the pageant where every one appeared in fancy dress. The dissolution of the feud started when Clem Holland fell off his horse and fell in love with WBobbie Berkley. The characters ranged from ten to seventy years start- ing with Peters, played by Sam Warren, who is about seventy years of age, but alert and vigorous. He had straggley grey hair and a much-lined weather beaten face. He spoke with a pronounced Yankee drawl. John Holland was played by Kenneth rest, a middle-aged business man with a cold, incisive manner. ' Tad Berkley was played by Eugene Backensto, twelve years old. He was a bright, likeable boy with freckled face, un- ruly hair, and a large mouth. Lillian Berkley was played by Fleta Bennett who was fifteen, slender, giggling and slightly affected. I UBobbich CElizabethJ Berkley, played by Pauline Garrett, was a girl of twenty-one, charming and attractive in every way 0 Alice Judd, played by Isabel Frazer, was a fat, dumpy little girl, about ten years old. Clem Holland, played by Paul Lowry, was a good-looking, magnetic chap, just out of college. Mrs. Hutcheson, played by Wilma Rine, was an cverdressed complacent woman, showing by her manner that she was unused to good society. Cora Hutcheson, played by Martha Mae Skidmore, was about nBobbie'sW age. She affected an extremely cultured society manner, but this was only veneer and wore thin in moments of excitement. The Senior Play was the first play the high school has produced since the new curtain has been installed. A new cyclorama of gray drops has been added, which will aid in the variety and interest of production. . The play was under the direction of Mary Ellen McCabe. PRELIMINARY DEGLAMATORY CONTEST 2 4. ,. The preliminary of the Okaw valley Deolamatory Contest was held in the High School Auditorium Friday evening, March 18. Members of the faculty and parents of the contestants were present. Mr. Richard Hadley of the Department of Speech of the University of Illinois judged the contest. There were four dramatic and two humorous readings. The winners of the contest were: ,Mary Kay Griffith, dramatic Mildred McGullom, humorous. A A g Mildred McCullom , . . . .

Ticky Toad and her three little Toadies. Several days ago, Stone, while on duty on his regular beat, became annoyed at the negligence of the street clean- er. The reason for his agitation was a broken dish that lay in the alley, next to a building and just a few feet from the street. The following day Stone noticed that the dish ree mained in the same place. tHe approached the street cleaner to demand an explanation. The cleaner led the policeman to the spot where the dish lay, so that he might verify his alibi. It seems that a few days previously the cleaner had lifted the dish from the ground and discovered that it was the home of a mother toad and three baby toads. Ee had re- placed the dish and left the family to itself until the children might be old enough to shift for themselves. The humble dwelling place of Mrs. Ticky Toad and her three little Toadies remains unmolested and under the watch- ful eye of a street cleaner and Policeman Stone.

It was one of the traditional affairs at the high school at which the Juniors entertained as their guests the - Seniors, the faculty, and the members of the Board of Education and their wives. It was held in the lower corridor of the building and the dinner was prepared by the Home Economics depart- ment assisted by the mothers of the members of the Junior Class. Maids and butlers, selected from the Sophomore Class by the Juniors, served the dinner. . Q Using a Dutch theme in decoration, the tables were ' very pretty, trimmed in white and two shades of blue with, beautiful bouquets of tulips, which not only carried out the scheme but also added the necessary contrasting color. Little Dutch shoes on which were written the names of the guests served as the place cards, . Speeches were given by Robert Dalrymple, toastmasterg Robert Nussel, president of the class of 19353 and Miss Johnson, Joseph Burrus and Mr. Wrigley. After the speeches Joseph Burrus, Charles Keith, Goady Johnson, and Robert Dalrymple sang a few songs. . After the program, the group went into the gymnasium to dance and to play cards. Music for the dance was fur- nished by WRedW Maxfield and his orchestra. srwroa BALL U The last party or big event that will always leave a happy ending to the Seniors' school days was the Senior Ball which was held on May 19. Each Senior was permitted to in- vite one guest so there was an attendance of about one hundred. . The Dutch idea was the scheme used in decorating. White and two shades of blue were the colors used. There were four huge windmills, one at each end and one at each side of the gymnasium. Spring flowers, placed all around the floor, added to the beauty of the decorations. , The evening was spent in dancing and card playing. Gene McCormic's orchestra furnished the music for the dance. The orchestra sat under a huge windmill, also decorated in blue and white. The maids and butlers, chosen from the Freshmen Class, served punch to the guests. FOOTBALL BANQUET The Football Banquet was held on December 14 with Mr. Robert Reitch from Champaign, Illinois as the main speaker of the evening. There were speeches given by Mr. Hall, Mr. Racster and Mr. Wrigley, who was tcastmaster. Robert Dalrymple, who was captain of last year's football team, and Hillis Kendall and Philip Clementz, who are co-captains for the coming year, gave short talks. A quartet consisting of Harold Millar, John Harrison, Philip Glementz and Robert Dalrymple sang songs. The dinner was served by the girls of the Home Economics classes. BOARD AND FACULTY BANQUET TTe annual Board and Faculty Banouet was held on March l4 in the gyajnasium of the high school. A four-course dinner was served by the Home Economics classes under the supervision of Miss Miller. After the dinner, progressive and miscellaneous games were played. The bancuet was enjoyed by all. F.F.A.PMWY b On March 31 about seventy-five mothers, fathers, faculty members, F. F. A. boys, and guests gathered in the cafetorma room for the annual F. F. A. party.

THE FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers of America must help to make life worth while by greater satisfying purposes in the lives of the plain people, which will find their expressions through the willing service of humanity. The rural youth of the Nation who are seeking to prepare and perfect themselves for the future through the organization of the Future Farm- ers of America, have taken upon themselves to live up to the following motto: , 1, Learning.to do., 3. Doing to learn., 5. Earning to live. 4. Living to serve. On January 15, 1950, 14 months after the birth of the organization at Kansas City, 35 States and Territories of Hawaii had formed State Associations of Future Farmers. The Future Farmers of America is a non-profit corpora- tion designed to recognize and encourage the natural in- stincts and tendencies of boys to organize themselves into gangs or groups and put enthusiasm and pleasure into their work and play. Such organizations, if they function properly, afford an excellent opportunity to teach vocational students some of the fundamental principles of group leadership. The pur poses of the organization are: l. To promote vocational agriculture in the high schools of America by developing the pride of Future Farmers in vocational agriculture, encouraging members to im prove the quality of their work in vocational agri- Q culture, and the like. + 2. To create more interest in the intelligent choice of 4 farming occupation. ' , 3, To create and nurture a love of country life. 4. To provide recreational and educational entertainment u for Future Farmers of America. ' 5. To promote thrift by membership, through the estab- lishment of savings accounts and investments in ag- , ricultural enterprises. . S. To afford a medium of cooperative buying and selling .- 7. To establish the confidence of the farm boy in him- self and his work. 1 8. To promote scholarship. 9. To develop local leadership. . ' ' The Villa Grove chapter of Future Farmers was first or ganized on October 14, 1929 with charter members- It has been an active club since then. The club of 1933-34 is the only club since the charter was granted which has had 1005 membership of the boys enrolled in the Agriculture classes. The club of 1933-54 carried out several worth-while enter- prises which consisted of a Model Thrift Bank, and a Public Speaking Contest. The club members strive to go through the four honorary degrees of the Future Farmers which con- sist of the Green Hands, the Future Farmers, the State Farmer and the American Farmer. The-first two are con- ferred by our local chapter while the other two degrees are given by the State and National organization. There were many worth-while individual projects carried out this year. Many of them consisted of sow and litter, baby beef, corn, alfalfa, potatoes, poultry, and garden.

The final standings of the Okaw Valley title chase left the Grove- men tied for first place with Tuscola and Shelbyville, each school having won ten and lost two. The three successful teams, all of whom were awarded a first-class trophy, came out on top of the heap only after one of the most bitterly con- tested races since the organization of the conference some seven or eight years ago. Arcola and Sullivan were the only Okaw teams to defeat the Hallman during the regular conference season. Gn the other hand, however, Villa Grove triumphed twice over Oakland, Monticello, Tuscola and Newman, and once over both Sullivan and Arcola to round out their total of ten conference wins. The annual Okaw Valley Tournament, which was held at Tus- cola for the third consecutive year, was a rather disappoint- ing affair for most Villa Grove rooters. It was at that tourney that a revived Sullivan five, led by the apparently unstoppable Frank Schack, upset the Blue Devils in the final game 37 to 32 after trailing for more than three quarters. Ecth teams played splendid ball to win the right to participate in the champion- ship bout and the outcome, therefore, determined the survival of the fittest.

On all other occasions the final result was very much in doubt until late in the last half or, as in the Sullivan fracas, the last five minutes. Constantly confronted by such great obstacles, the football boys learned one of lifm's greatest lessons--that you must work for what you get. It was not because they did not work that they ffiled to vie for the Okaw title but rather because Monticello out everything into their match with Ville Grove and consequently lost a majority of their games thereafter. Although Villa Grove had been expected to repeat its perfornance of the previous year, there was not as much as. e murmur of disappointment from the ranks of the loyal high sdiool supporters over their failure to do so, because as for as sportsmanship and clean play go, Villa Grove High experienced one of the most successful grid seasons in his- tory of the school.

Villa Grove--6 Hattoon--30 Faced by the loss of Charles Rosers, former mainstay, for an indefinite period of time, the Blue Devils toriled Mattoon on the foreign field, st night, in tkE1r'first game of the seeson and made a very creditable showing despite the fact that they loft by a seemingly large margin. Two complete pass- es, Clementz to Kendall, late in the fourth cuarter paved the way to Ville Grove's lone touchdown. Villa Grove--7 Alumni--7 The annual Alumni battle, which was staged with the usual mock ferocity and misleading seriousness, resulted in nothin: more nor less than a 7 to 7 tie. Four hilarious ouarters, fraught sith wild heaves, fumbles end several violations of the Golden Rule failed to remove the bone of contention which hes long lain between the old grads end the nigh school students. The school boys scores first, in the second Quarter, only to see their lead wiped out by a savage onslaught on the pert of their oooonents midway in the final period. Villa Grove--O Monticello--Q In their first conference tilt, the Grovemen were held to a scoreless tie by a determined bend of Monticello Qridiers. Time after time the Blue Devils drove down past the ten ysrd line only to be denied a touch down by some Queer quirk of fate At no ohaee of the contest did Monticello threaten to scoreg and Villa Grove's superiority was obvious from the very first minute of nlay. Villa Grove--12 Sullivan--O After having been held to a scoreless tie for three and one-iflf ouarters, the powerful Grove eleven broke loose to 'c'i ter tro touchdowns in the last five minutes of play and cnnlk-up its first conference victory of the season at Sulli- van. The game was played in a broiling sun which made the day more fitted for a swimming marathon. Millar and Rogers were most instrumental in shoving the winning counters across. Villa Grove--20 Tuscola--6 for the fourth consecutive time in the realm of athletics the charges of Nick Garter, master, took a course of instruc- tion from the progeges of Oarter's former pupil, Oris Hall, as Villa Grove made a last half comeback to trim the Novelists BO to S on the home gridiron. Entering the second half with the count deadlocked st 5 all, the Grovemen rallied to chalk up six points in each of the remaining quarters and defeat their ancient and traditional rivals by an overwhelming margin Villa Grove--7 Arcola--6 Trailing 7 to 6 as the final period opened, Arcola un- leashed a barrage of passes and trick formations to sweep the Grovers off their feet and score a touchdown in less than three minutes, thereby completely changing the complex of the game. The bacon was saved, however, when a center rush on Arcola's try for the bonus point was stopped just six inches on thc negative side of the zero line. It was Villa Grove's third conference victory. Villa Grove--6 Oakland--O An Oakland fumble, a Villa Grove recovery, and a center plunge from the ten yard line by Harold Millar in the first two minutes of play resulted in the scoring of the only touch- down of the day at Oakland one Friday afternoon and by that margin the Grovenen eventually won. In the remaining Quarters the Oakland eleven drove past Villa Grcve's twenty yard marker exactly five times, each attack being repulsed just when it seemed as though nothing could stou then. Here Oak- land's misfortune was Villa Grove's good fortune. Villa Grove--28 Newman--O The annual Armistice Day battle with Newman on the local gridiron was a one-sided affair with Villa Grove jumping off to an early lead and increasing it by sevens in each of the following periods. It was the last gmne for five Villa Grove Seniors-and marked their fifth conference victory. It has been well said: nSportsmanship is that quality of honor that desires always to be courteous, fair, and respect- fulg and it is interpreted in the conduct of players, spec- tators, coaches, end school authorities.W ' BESKETBALL , Perceptibly strengthened by the return of six lettermen his-a number of capable reserves, the Blue Devils, coached by 011s Hall, last year experienced their most successful cage season since the days of Bus Ellen and Kermit Archibald. The final standings of the Okaw Valley title chase left the Grove- men tied for first place with Tuscola and Shelbyville, each school having non ten and lost two. The three successful teens, all of whom were awarded a first-class trophy, came out on top of the heap only after one of the most bitterly con- tested races since the organization of the conference some seven or eight years ago. Arcola and Sullivan were the only Okac teams to defeat the Hallman during the regular conference season. On the other hand, however, Villa Grove triumphed twice over Oakland, Monticello, Tuscola and Newman, and once over both Sullivan and Arcola to round out their total of ten conference wins. The annual Okaw Valley Tournament, which was held at Tus- cola for the third consecutive year, was a rather disappoint- ing affair for most Villa Grove rooters. It was at that tourney that a revived Sullivan five, led by the apparently unstoppable Frank Sohack, upset the Blue Devils in the final game 37 to 32 after trailing for more than three quarters. Both teams played splendid ball to win the right to participate in the champion- ship bout and the outcome, therefore, determined the survival of the fittest.

The season's results gave the Blue D evils a total of fifteen victories as against nine defeats, two of which were dropped in overtime periods. Villa Grove--29 Homer--33 Villa Grove lost its opening game of the season to Homer in a thrilling battle which went into two overtime periods before the issue could be decided. In the second extra- stanza the Homer boys broke loose to score twice and sew the game up, 55 to 39. Patton and Rogers led the scoring attack of the Blue Devil crew. Villa Grove--49 Hammond--54 ' The first home game turned out to be a rather one-sided affair as the members of the Villa Grove quintet drifted about the floor and under the basket to score almost at will.

Villa Grove--22 Hammondf-18 Although the Blue Devils led at all times, a vastly- improved Hammond five nearly turned the tables on the Hallmen when the two schools met in a return match. Hammond never threatened to assume the lead but kept uncomfortably close throughout. It was therefore a great relief to the Grove partisans to hear the final gun pop with their favorites on the-long end of a 23 to 18 count. Villa Grove--18 Longview--29 After playing Harry Jarman's far-famed Peppy Pirates to a standstill for three periods, the Blue Devils dropped behind in the final stanza to lose 89 to 18. Gaines and Rogers staged a private scoring duel of their own in the matter of scoring with the former winning out by a narrow margin. Villa Grove--12 Homer-48 In.a dull, uninteresting game, featured by the Spring- field type of play, Villa Grove High gained revenge from Homer on the home floor by a score of 12 to 8. Both teams seemed badly off form and missed a great majority of their setups. Villa Grove led throughout, however. Villa Grove--l6 Arcola--22 With the Blue Devils missing a huge percentage of their close-in shots as well as free throws, Laurence Stauder's supposedly inferior Arcola five tripped the Grovemen by a count of 22 to 16, in both teams' inaugural conference game of the season. The visiting club forged into the lead early in the second period and was never headed thereafter.' Bil- brey, of Arcola, sustained a knee injury midway in third quarter and was forced to leave the floor. A Villa Grove--40 A Monticello--l5 . Villa Grove's first conference victory of the season was obtained at the expense of the hapless Monticello Sages. It may truthfully be said that a vastly different team de- feated Monticello than that which lost to Arcola but three days before. Hitting the hoop from all angles, the Blue Devils piled up a score of 40 to 15 against the visitors. Rogers, as usual, led the attack of the winners. Villa Grove-46 Newman--13 Continuing in the same manner as used the previous Friday night when the Monticello ship of hope was submerged, the Hallman smothered the Newman Redskins with a barrage of field goals and free throws to win easily, 46 to 13. A majority of the reserve corps saw service in this tilt. Rogers, Patton, and Glementz headed the Grove scoring column ,n41s Qsnnasrg nsrformed best for the losers. Villa Grove--36 Sullivan--12 Gaging an excellent percentage of their shots, the Grovers continued in their winning ways to defeat Sullivan 25 to 12. It was Villa Grove's third conference victory of the year. For the first and only time all season, Charles Rogers was held scoreless. Patton and Millar came through to lead the Hallmen to victory, however. ' ' Villa Grove--31 Lcngviewf-Q1 Q Longview again proved to be Villa Grove's equal and a little bit more in the second meeting of the two teams. The final result was another 31 to 21 victory for the Champaign Uounty lads. The Peppy Pirates led throughout, and after the first three minutes, the score was not even close.i Villa Grove--18 Oakland--17 Hillis Kendal1's long, last-minute field goal spelled the difference between victory and-defeat for the Old Gold and Blue cause at Oakland as Villa Grove came from behind in the closing seconds to win 18 to 17. The lead changed hands several times during the course of the evening's events, but until the lastften seconds the Oakland lads seemed to hold the upper hand..f Villa Grovef-18 Tuscola--16 t Tuscola came, saw, and was conquered for the second time in less than three days the first Tuesday after the Okaw tourney when a belated Blue Devil rally carried the local faction to victory in the last minute, 18 to 16. lRogers snared the winning fielder with but-twenty-five-seconds of play remaining. Good guarding by Kendall and Clementz fea- tured the game. It was Tuscola?s first conference loss and was Villa Grove's fifth Okaw win of the year. ' Villa Grove-17' Monticello--ll. ,, The Hallman advanced one step nearer the Okaw title by defeating Monticello, 17 to ll, on the foreign floor, in another slow and rather uninteresting game. By winning, M the Grovemen gained the privilege of swimming in the Mon- ticello pool after the contest. Needless to say it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. ' 4 Villa Grove-f3l Arcolaf-20 It was only by the slightest of margins that the Blue Devils trimmed Arcola on St. Valentine's eve for their seventh Valley triu ph. The Hallmen led throughout, but Q a last-quarter rally by the Staudermen came very near blight- ing Villa Grove's title aspirations for good. The final gun, which left the Grovers ahead Bl to 20, found more people on their feet waving their arms than almost any other game in which the I-?a'l'lman nav:-'tin-inntad all van-r-- Villa Grove--53 Oakland--80 , Oak1and's return game here was quite different from the one played earlier in the season on their floor. With Rogers leading, the way, the Blue Devils jumped off to an early lead and were never in danger. The final score was 53 to 30 and at no time, after the first few minutes, were the eventual winners pushed. Villa Grove--25 Sullivan--25 Villa Grove registered its second conference loss of the season at Sullivan one Friday night by losing a heart- breaker to the Dennismen in a thrilling two-overtime battle 35 to 33. Frank Schack, Sullivan ace, again proved to be Villa Grove's nemesis by caging the winning fielder in the second overtime. The winners trailed until late in the final period when UBrick' Poland broke loose to register twice from beneath in rapid succession and tie the count at the end of the regular playing time. Villa Grove--58 Newman--ll I Scoring at will, the Grovers piled up a victory margin of 58 to ll over the luckless Newman Redskins. A great many Grove reserves saw action in this gameg and, ironically enough, the Newman seconds defeated the Villa Grove shock troops 30 to 29 in a preliminary attractions Rogers and Patton led the attack of the Grovemen in the second game. Villa Grove--83 Tuscola--20 Playing before a capacity crowd, the Blue Devils downed Tusoola for the third time this season, on their hardwood, to clinch a tie for the Okaw championship. It was the last game of the season until the District Tournament for both teams. The Novelists led until midway in the last period when the Grovemen spurted to go into the lead, from which point of vantage they were never ousted.

The Blue Devils acquitted themselves admirably, however, and the final outcome was very much in doubt until the closing min- utes. ,Longview later won the Tuscola District and then went on to the finals of the Mattson Sectional before being elim- na ed.

Since four letternen, Hillis Kendall, Phil Clements, Herb Patton, and Harold Millar, will return next year, prospects for a successful basketball team in 1934-35 are exceedingly bright. up I' . IHTRAMURAL This year the boys who wanted to play intramural bas- ketball signed their names and were designated to their teams. The first ten men on the basketball squad selected the players they wanted. Some seventy players signed up and ten teams were formed. There were seven men on each team. A schedule was drawn up by Coach Hall and each team played each other. At the end of the season there was a tournament to see which team was the champion. This was a good idea and had several good points. Many boys wished to play basketball but never had a chance. also the coach was given a chance to find some prospects for the coming cage team that otherwise wouldn't have been found. It also furnished something for the boys to do dur- ing the noon hour which reduced the disciplinary problem. Truck Coach Hall opened the track season with six letter- men, having lost only one letterman through graduation last year.. Rex Newman is a mile runner and also captain. Right at present the Okaw is full of good milers and Newman is one of them.' Charles Rogers is the only Senior veteran and along with John Harrison will take care of the shot and the javelin. Herbert Patton runs the high hurdle, and polevfults. He is one of the members of the great Freshmen Relcy Team. Others of this relay team are Charles Arnold, Leo Reinhart, and Harold Miller with Arnold and Reinhart being the middle distance men. Millar runs the low hurdles, the 220-yard dash, and 440-yard dash. . Other candidates who have yet to be in competition are Philip Clementz and Franklin Cozad in the shot and Jchn Ernest and Robert Dalryuple in the discus. Honshell Dossey is about the only other promising candidate and he runs the half mile. The track team will complete in the Mettoon, Urbana and Springfield relays, and in the Okaw and district track meets. Two dual meets are scheduled with Oakland and Arthur.
