S. We were twenty-seven in number and perhaps as green as Freshies usually are. But the “greenness” soon wore off ard we showed the upperclassmen a few points in the art of making high averages in the different studies. The class as a whole took a decided interest in several phases of Athletic and Dramatic events. We started twenty-two strong in our second round of battle for education. We were now quite a bit dignified because we could look upon the Freshmen as the Sophomores had looked upon us. As the year progressed along, we were unfortunately handicapped by losing Petronella Yurgutis and Leo Henderson and we were compelled to finish our second year of high school life with twenty, which we did with a creditable showing. Our third lap of the journey commenced with Lena Slazas as our president. We engulfed ourselves into Athletics both boys and girls. Jess Warnagis played as Right End on our Wonderful Black Orange Eleven while Julius Matkocsik, Toney Redulis and Fred Dudley were subs. In Basketball, Fred Brown made Forward on our quintet with Julius Matkocsik and Fred Dudley subs. In the Girls’ basketball Lena Slazas was forward on the girl’s team and Nettie McGenzey was sub-center. A majority of our Junior class were on the newspaper staff. We also had several members of our class who featured in Dramatics. When Track season rolled around the whole class with the exception of a few small ones went out. One of our number, Fred Dudley, was elected Captain. In the County two of our class placed while one was nosed out at the finish. Fred Dudley winning the hurdles, tying for second place in running high jump and third place in running broad jump, while Paul Giacone won second place in the mile run. Three out of four track members that went to Charleston and State meets were members of our class. In the inter-class track which took place in June we won by a comfortable majority being sixteen points ahead of our nearest competitor Cecil Simpson who represented the Sophomore class. This year was the best of the preceeding years of high school activities, studies, athletics, both boys and girls, dramatics and oratory. Now that we are Seniors we continued our home stretch of our eventful journey with Arpad Matkocsik at the helm of the ship. In football all the boys earned a “W” and nearly all the girls were on the basket-ball squad. Basket-ball took two of our class while the rest of the boys with a few exceptions were on the second team. When the era for track comes we hope to make a fine showing for W. T. H. S. A great deal of our spare time has been occupied because we are putting out an annual this year which is to be known as “Westville Memoirs” —an annual which will speak for itself. Polo ’21 19 MEMOIRS 21 Class Will While our hearts within us are still beating, ’ere we leave out beloved High School, we, the Senior Class of ’21, establish and declare this to be our last will and testament, in order to dispose of all our dearest possessions before we embark on our voyage of life, uncertain of what there is before us. To the Faculty: We wish to will all our excess knowledge and the right to tell the Underclassmen just how much they know, also our appreciation of the help and kindness that they have given us. To the Board of Education: We bequeath our heartiest appreciation of their efforts in our behalf, and the hope that their memory of us will always be as pleasant as ours of them. To the Underclassmen: Our dignified manner, the honor of occupying our seats in the Assembly, and all the gum that can be found on our desks.

Lena Slazas ’21 Agatha Yurgutis ’21 MEMOIRS 21 A Psalm of Life Adopted by the Senior Class ’21 Tell me not, in mournful numbers. Life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow Finds us farther than to-day. Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us. Footprints on the sands of time. Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 19 MEMOIRS 21 Class Oration Ten years ago a High School was started in Westville. Six years later a new' building was dedicated and we, the class of 1921 have the exclusive honor of being the first class to spend four years in this new edifice of learning. Thus far in life we have succeeded, although our diploma does not guarantee success, in a life which is to follow. Some people think that being able to read and to write is enough education; but you will find that almost all of the great men in our country have had educations superior to our High School education. Many of them didn’t have a chance most of us have today, but just stuck to their ideals and work. We must aim to a goal which cannot be possibly reached at once. Strive for something so high that a life time will be required for attaining it. As Robert Browning has appropriately said: “What I aspired to be, And was not, comforts me; A brute I might have been, but Would not sink i’ the scale.” If the world can recognize in us men and women by ‘divine ambition puffed’ it will regard our efforts with the greatest of respect and admiration. Some one has said, “If the elevator to success is not running, take the stairs.” Why not, then adopt that as our motto. If the road isn’t paved pick the dry spots, and ‘get there’, regardless of obstacles. The more of these barriers you break down the stronger you will be to meet those which are ahead of you. A High School education gives us a broader vision and understanding. It acquaints us with the world’s great writers, and tells of the deeds of great men of earlier times. It tends to brighten the future of the government both national and local, because it points the good works as well as the mistakes of our former law makers. If we are awake we shall profit by their errors. Now that we are nearly through we look back on our four years which seemed so long at times but now seem to have been only too short. We wonder into what our lives will be moulded, and rather shudder at the thought of going out on to the seemingly unchartered sea of life. Before we part with Dear Old Westville High School, let us say that we have done our best to better and uphold the traditions handed down by our predecessors and w'e reluctantly surrender our places to our contemporaries and success- ors. Barthel Williams ’21 19 MEMOIRS 21 Class Prophecy Arriving in Washington D. C. on the New York Limited, on a fine summer day in June of the year 1940, Paul and I found our old chum Julius anxiously waiting as we had planned. After a hearty hand shake, Julius beckoned to his “Rolls Royce” which was waiting at the curb. Soon we were speeding down the Avenue talking away about olden times. Driving us to his apartments Julius exclaimed. “Tell me about your experiences in South America.” There upon we told him all our trials and troubles during our five years stay in the tropical regions as government surveyors. After a bounteous repast prepared by Julius’ fond wife, we heard all about his successful career as a high government official in Washington. “Who do you think was commissioned to Alaska to do work in Civil Engineering?” asked Julius. “Who was it?” came our reply in unison. “No one but our dear High School pal “Buck” Williams. For, after graduating from an engineering school, he soon earned fame in that line. We were sorry we could not see “Buck” before he left, but we sent our best wishes for his success.” “How about the rest of our class, are they all becoming famous?” asked Paul. I keep tab on all of them, said Julius, here are numerous clippings from the Satuida.v Blade which will tell you lots of news.” Our eyes popped open when we read that our old chum Agatha Yur-gi;tis rr.tede such a hit, as a Mezzo soprano singer, that she was in great demand in all the leading cities of Europe. Julius confided that soon after she graduated from the W. T. H. S. she had married a High School sweetheart. but her later career was just cause for divorce. “How about that pretty blonde who Paul thought a lot about?” I asked. “Oh, you mean Mildred Ord? “She was too pretty to remain single,” replied Julius. “After refusing a rich nobleman from England, she married a faimer in Illinois and settled down to a life of luxury and ease. She seems very happy with her pretty Pome and sweet children.” Just then there was a knock at the door, and in walked an important looking gentleman, whom Paul recognized instantly. “Why. Jess Warnagis,” w’e cried, “How does it happen that you are here? That s a pait of my plot, said Julius. “Our President (who by the way is a woman of superior renown) asked Jess to come to Washington to make an oil painting of her at the White House. Knowing he was in town I asked him here to spend the evening with us. From all this we easily surmised that Jess had become one of the best artists of his time. 19 MEMOIRS 21 In the course of our conversation Jess remarked, Of course you remember Lena Slazas! She has a studio on Fifth Avenue, New York and she has become famous designing costumes for all the rich and exclusive madames in the country. “Yes,” said Julius, “I read, that New York is no longer importing gowms from Paris, because they prefer Lena’s designs.” “By the way, how is your brother faring these days?” asked Jess. “Very well, I should say,” replied Julius, Arpad is manager of the Standard Oil Company, and is making a name for himself and a reputation for his employer. He claims that all this success was the result of an inspiration received from one of his teachers way back in High School. This was in reference to our class president who worked energetically to make the class a real success. His second wife is a fair damsel that he met over in Urbana one year at the district tournament. “Oh, by the way, I have the strangest affair to tell you about. You surely remember how quiet Fied Brown used to be in class. Well he’s an automobile salesman now for a car of his own make, (the name has slipped my mind just now). He sells more cars than the rest of the salesman put together, and if you ever heard the line of chatter he springs on the public you would readily agree that he has changed.” “I’ve read something still more surprising, said Julius.” It’s about Nettie McGinzie.” “You can’t tell us a thing,” we chorused, “as if we haven’t read about her humane society. It was her gallant Suffrage wwk which helped elect a woman for President these past two terms.” “I have three tickets for the Opera tomorrow,” Julius chipped in, “And the leading lady is our dear little school mate, Parthenia Evans. She has made a dramatic success as great as that of Theda Bara.” “That reminds me that Anna Ludwig is now chief telephone operator in Pekin, China. It is rumored that she is coming back to these parts to retire and get married in the near future.” I had the cleverest letter fiom Ruth Starks the other day. She has steadily climbed to the heights of fame, as Superintendent of Schools at Baltiless, Maryland. In fact, there is absolutely no competitor for her position. Just then the clock struck eight, and Jess hurried away to his painting. Paul and I remembered a business appointment, so we hastened toward the court house still chatting about “ye olden times.” Anton Redulis ’21 19 MEMOIRS 21 We Wonder Why “Peelie”: Takes a certain little dame to the Palace?

Paul Giacone—’21 19 MEMOIRS 21 Historically Speaking When the present class of Juniors From the Eighth Grade slid Since then and until now I’ll tell you what we did: First we had a meeting Our class officers to elect When the teachers said, “Freshies are Slow” We thought “Well, what do you expect?” This class was not very exciting Of dramatics we had none But it was not altogether dead Cause we had party number one. Our Sophomore class was indeed fine In fact it was a scream, We won Inter-class Basket ball pennant And had five on the foot-ball team This year we had a banquet Put on the “Follies of Twenty-Two” Did many other exciting things And gave party number two. This year the jolly Juniors have Taken part in everything On the whole they all are talented Some play, some dance, some sing. The captain of the basket-ball squad Is a member of our class; Even the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Is a dear l’il Junior lass. Joe Gillison ’22 19 MEMOIRS 21 Sophomore Class History In the fall of 1919 we entered Westville Township High School with a class of twenty-five, somewhat the color of grass. But like the camelia we soon changed our color. We started the second heat of High School twenty strong losing only five members, Raymond Boyier, Albert Newman, Bertha Boyd and Anna lmro. The preceding Sophomores, now Juniors, depended upon us to keep up their good record in athletics. We had four men on the foot-ball squad at the beginning of the season. John Savisky was injured at Hoopeston. A week later Joe Ross, lured by Chicago’s opportunities departed, making a hole in our foot-ball team, which was faithfully filled by Max Darkin. When Basket-ball started we furnished two players for the quintette, Max Darkin, forward, and Floyd Garlin, center. Both are doing their share to make Westville a championship team. The girls aided by the Juniors, have been very successful in defeating the Seniors and the wee Freshies. Socially speaking, we have not been prominent. Our only attempt this year was a Hallowe’en party given for the Juniors. The second semester two more members, Garnet Flesher and Bertha Billot were added to our ranks, taking the places of Thelma Possolt and Odbert Boyd, who left us earlier in the school year . Class Officers elected early in the school year are as follows: Mildred Boyd, President Petronella Urasky, Vice-President Frank Czapski, Secretary and Treasurer Floyd Garlin, Newspaper and annual representative. In the eyes of others we were still infants, and needed a guide, so Miss Newman was chosen as class advisor. Our class colors are maroon and white, and our class flower is red rose.

As for his surname, well no one exactly knew. It had keen Toney ever since he was a youngster and it looked as though it would always be just plain, common, everyday Toney. However, there came a day when it changed—but that’s the story. It was in the summer of 1918 when Toney startled his hometown folks by enlisting as a soldier in the United States Army. No one had even thought Toney capable of such patriotism. Altho a lad of but twenty autumns, he not only did not wait for the draft, nor try to evade it, but enlisted. That is what caused the commotion in his town. Upon arriving at a training camp, Toney was bewildered. However, a few days acquainted him with the different style of living. Here he met a brother-soldier whose name was William Stone, but who was more commonly called Billy. The two became “Sworn friends.” They chummed about the town which was situated near camp; but since everything has an ending, this pleasure was no exception. Billy was “shipped” to another training camp. After a few months of training, Toney was bound for France via New York. While on the train for New York, he wrote a few letters to his family at home, and mailed them from the city. On board the transport, everything changed. He became seasick, and went in his bunk. A few days later, feeling better, he wTent out on deck and leaned against the railing, and gazed into the dark blue water. Moodily he thought of his friend Bill. Would he see Bill in France, or would he never, during his life time, meet ol’ Bill again? His melancholy thoughts were interrupted by a cheery voice saying: “Why Hellow Toney!” Toney turned around and whom did he see but his old friend Bill. Hand clasps, hugs, greetings followed and they talked and talked, like brothers of what had happened while they had been separated and what would happen in the new country. Upon arriving in France, as luck would have it Billy and Toney were detached to the same unit. After several months of training in the different modes of warfare, they were sent to the fighting front. Here fate decided to take a hand and Toney and Billy became separated. A year had passed, Toney was no longer a private. His letters from home—especially from a certain little lass, came addressed to Lieut. Toney. One night, he was stationed, to guard a machine gun near the firing line with a small detachment of American and French soldiers. A dense MEMOIRS 21 19 fog was settling and it was hard to pierce the gloomy darkness with Nature’s only lights. Toney told his soldiers to “fall in” and he would guard a while. About four hours later, he looked at his watch and noted that it was getting late. He was on the point of awakening a soldier, when he heard a slight noise. It was followed by a groan. He glanced quickly at his peacefully slumbering soldiers. Again came the groan and the noise which resembled the noise made by the dragging of a wounded person. Toney clasped his automatic and strode forth into the darkness. Walking a few steps he became aware of his nearness to the firing line, so he dropped on his hands and knees and started to crawl. It was done none too soon, for a German “snipper” sent a bullet whistling over his head, and made poor Toney’s heart miss a beat. He laid on his stomach until he thought the German would stop gazing in his direction and then he crawled to the spot from which the groan had issued. He came upon a limp form and hastily jerked out his hankerchief. Tying the hands of the soldier he slipped the arms over his neck and commenced to crawl toward his dugout. when a new danger was added. The German’s curiousity had been aroused. Getting a searchlight he played it near the spot where he had seen the moving form. A shower of bullets whizzed around their location, and Toney felt a stinging pain in his shoulder but he only gritted his teeth, and kept on crawling. The bullets came thick and fast and they had barely escaped into the sheltering crater of a shell-hole when the ground around them was torn assunder. How long they lay there unconscious, Toney did not know. When he regained consciousness it was still dark, so he resumed his crawling pace with the lifeless burden. He reached his dugout in safety, and a doctor was quickly summoned. Toney exhausted, from the loss of blood from his bullet-ripped shoulder, was carried on a stretcher to a base hospital. The other wounded soldier was also sent to the same hospital. The war is over now. Toney is still in the same hospital, but recovering nicely. The other wounded soldier who is no other than Billy though unknown to Toney, is in a critical condition. He keeps talking of Toney, who learns of it from the nurse, and wonders if it could be his long lost friend. He asks to see the soldier whom he had rescued and upon reaching the ward finds that it is really his friend Bill. Toney stations himself near his friends bed, until Billy is fully recovered. When Billy realizes who saved him, he tells the General who reports it to the commanding Officer, whereupon Toney is decorated with a medal of honor. Back again in the old home town. There was a great celebration for the return of the brave soldiers who had fought for the common cause. Torey was not alone for Billy had promised to pay him a visit, and Toney had thought it best to pay the visit immediately, lest he should forget. If you will read on the program card for the Home Coming day, you will see that Major Anthony---------was the speaker of the day. That day was the day that Toney came into his own—Anthony! Paul Giacone ’21 19 MEMOIRS 21 Roast Partridge The most delectable odors are not to be compared with the savory sweetness of those roasted birds. Wafted on the genial autumn air the exquisite odors emanating from the steamy birds brought water to the mouth and a vacuous feeling to the stomach. Even now the blood goes singing to my head, as I think how mean neighbor Smith really was. But to start at the beginning I must tell a little family history. Neighbor Smith and father lived on adjoining farms, as their fathers and torelathers had. Ever since the oldest gossip in the neighborhood can remember there had been rivalry between my family and the Smith’s. If the Smith s painted their house in the fall, father would paint our house and all the other buildings in the spring. When father bought an auto, two weeks later the Smith’s had one that was four inches longer and had two more stripes on the wheels. And so it went. There were no moral manifestations of rivalry, you understand, but the members of both families just kept their eyes open and mouths shut. How it started no one seems to know for sure, but mother thinks that years ago a Smith married one of the Stuart (that’s us) boy’s sweetheart. Then out of spite, my great, great grandfather Stuart went away and married the prettiest girl he could find, bought the next farm to Smith, and started to beat him at anything and everything he could. For five years back both families had exhibited turkeys at the Annual Poultry Show. Twice the Smith’s had been victorious and twice the judges had declared in favor of the Stuarts. And, now, as the time for the show drew near, both families were in a fever of excitement to know whose birds would win, and thus break the tie, and hold highest honors for a year at least. At about this time the hunting season for game birds opened and my brother, who takes to hunting like a fleshy woman does to stripes, went out several days with no success. But from the Smith faim came tales of big bags of birds and several roasting parties. With new determination brother decided to try once more. He tramped the woods and creek bottoms for miles around. As no rain had fallen for several days good old Rover, although the best bird dog in the country—with the exception of Smith’s dog, “Spot.” who was equally as good and hated Rover—could not scent the elusive partridge and quail. Finally, at dusk, poor, tired brother and dog neared the home farm with but one partridge to their credit. But just as brother was climbing the fence to cut across Smith’s woodlot, something happened. With a clutter and a slap, slap of big wings several dark objects rose some place near the fence and sailed into the air. 19 MEMOIRS 21 Brother’s automatic instinctively flew to his shoulder. As the great birds rose above the second growth timber and became silhouetted against the sky his heart jumped into his throat. “Wild turkeys, by gum. Who’d athought of finding any right on our own farm. Here’s where I slip one over on the Smith’s.” Suiting action to his words, the gun spoke three times in rapid succession and three dead turkeys tumbled over and over to the ground. As brother approached the spot where the birds lay, he soon discovered that the turkeys were not wild ones. He had not remembered that tame turkeys could fly, and never having flushed a flock of wild ones he naturally took some things for granted, and once the deed was done, his next thought was how to make the most of it. He knew full well that father would never countenance the bringing of these birds to the family board, even though he might not have felt sympathetic over Smith’s loss of three choice turkeys which would lessen our neighbor’s chance for the blue ribbon at the County Fair. It was, however, a comparatively easy matter to travel without discovery from the Smith woods to our own timberland and there hide the game until its disposition was determined. This was done and my older brother was called into consultation, and then I was given to understand that enough “game” had been secured to warrant calling in the friends belonging to our “inner circle” for an “Indian Roast” that night. The consent of our parents was secured and the telephone was put into continuous service for the next hour. The meeting time was ten that evening when most good country folks are supposed to be fast asleep. At the appointed time sixteen of us had gathered in the most secluded and darkest spot in our woods. A basin shaped clear space had been selected and in the center a fire, sufficiently bright to make us recognizable across the space, burned. Rude leg seats had been arranged around the fire but there was nothing in sight to eat, and we girls thought some joke was being played. After jollying and shivering around for fear of snakes and bugs until about eleven thirty, the fire was allowed to die down, and little fires were lighted on the rim of our improvised dining room. The embers were then scrapped away from the site of the big fire and after digging down a couple feet three big lumps of clay rolled out on the ground. These lumps were broken open, and just as mid-night came with the advent of a new day, we experienced a new and never to be forgotten sensation,—the delicious odor of roast pait-ridge.” Funny thing, but do you know, the feathers of the birds stuck to the clay in which they were encased, and when the clay had all been removed the fowls were as clean as though the most approved of method had been used. Large bark dishes had been provided by my brother and what we girls supposed were partridges were placed there on and then “we all fell to” and such a feast! With fingers for knives and forks and our olfactories urging us on, what we did to those birds was a plenty. 19 MEMOIRS 21 The stripped bones we reconsigned to mother earth, and by two o’clock every participant was innocently asleep. Months afterwards I learned the truth about the Smith turkeys. In spite of the handicap the Smith’s secured the coveted ribbon. My father seemed quite “cut up” over the indifference of my two brothers, and brought the accusation that they had eyes on the Smith girls and a promise of disinheritance should any affection develop in that quarter. Whenever I try to feci critical toward my brothers for the offense thej committed, that delicious odor comes back and turns my reproach into praise. In behalf of the other girls, who do not know the truth of the matter, as well as myself, I am truly thankful for that most satisfying and never to be forgotten past. 19 MEMOIRS 21 Newspaper Staff Mildred Harrold......

A few Junior friends were invited. Oet. 9 Mildred Harrold gave a party in honor of the Foot-ball boys who played at Newman the same day. Some of the Foot-ball boys were very bashful and stood outside for a while. Mildred said she made the candy but it was good iust the same. Oct. 29 The Seniors and Juniors gave a Hallowe’en party for the Sophomores and the Freshmen in the Gym. Almost all were masked Maryetta Daugherty played the piano for us. Miss Haworth, dressed in a scare-crow outfit, and Floyd Garlin, dressed as a tramp, won the two prizes. Each devoured half of a pie. Dec. 30 A dance was given at the High School by the Alumni. Schoenbeck’s orchestra furnished the music. There was a good crowd and a good time. Stag Banquet. ' The Foot-ball season came to a close with a banquet given to all players by the A. A. at the Y. M. C. A. in Danville. A gorgeous and palatable repast was served to all. Later in the evening “Peelie’s Tigers” all stepped out to a theater party at the Palace. Mar. 1 The girls of the W. T. II. S. gave a “Kid” party in the Assembly. The refreshments were “barber poles,” whistle, animal cookies and pop-corn. Miss M. L. Newman won the booby prize which was a rattle. Parthenia Evans, dressed as a little sailor girl, won the first prize, a little china doll. Miss Albaugh took several flash light pictures of the girls and teachers. COMING The big event of the season will be the “Faculty Newspaper.” There are numerous and sundry reports being noised about as to its character, but the exact truth, the wise faculty alone know. Some say it’s to be a play, others fancy dancing, and even a style show has been suggested as a plausible clue. Whenever it’s to be and whatever they will do, we know it will be of high caliber and one-hundred per cent pure. So here’s to the rest of us hoping they get the best of us.

The annual Scholastic contest the first week in May is now in view and we are working hard upon the “The Nightingale Song” by Ganz. It is our hope that the judges will consider our voices worthy of the first place. Home Economics The accompanying pictures only in a small way show the various things we learn in this comparatively new department. In the first semester of Foods we have “Practical Cookery while the continuation of this study into the second semester is “The Marketing, Planning and Serving of Meals.” It is at this time that we make good use of our well equipped dining room. In this way we hope to make school conditions more home like and so give the girls a real “Home making Course.” ‘We can learn to cook at home, but our mothers do not know how to sew’, is the plea heard in all schools, which partially accounts for the larger enrollment in the Dressmaking classes. At present we have only a one year course in Dressmaking and the girls are kept quite busy, because during this time each girl makes ten or more useful and attractive garments, learns to mend and patch, also how to select and test different fabrics and a thorough study of the textile industry. During the third year we have an advanced course in Household Management for one semester and Dietetics and Invalid Cookery during the second semester. I have only given a brief summary of our three year course. We are endeavoring to add a fourth year to take up advanced Dressmaking problems such as wool dresses and tailored suits. Our course is entirely vocational and is approved and reimbursed each year by the state according to the conditions set forth in the recent Smith-Hughes Federal Apportionment law. First we make a batter Then we mix a dough Let’s not stop to chatter For you should know That “homemade bread” we’re making And it must rise at the right degree So with proper and skillful baking It will be good as good can be SCIENCE department: 19 MEMOIRS 21 Science Department Four years of Science are now given in our High School, Physiography and Physiology are offered in the Freshman year. Botany and Zoology in the Sophomore, while the Juniors and Seniors seek to solve the more difficult problems of Chemistry and Physics. These courses are accompanied by as much field and laboratory work as possible, and every effort is made to connect them with our daily life. The classes are all progressing nicely, and the students are showing a very satisfactory interest in their wrork. The department piomises to be one of the most popular in the school All sciences are good examples of courses which relate the foui great IPs: Head; Hand; Heart and Health. History Department Ancient History and American History are the courses being offered this year. European History will be offered next year as it is an alternate history course. This year’s classes are large and the students as a whole seem to like to take history courses. 19 MEMOIRS 21 Business Department No doubt one of the most complicated puzzles in the whole school is disclosed in the small preen book which lies in State on the large desk in the Shorthand and Typewriting room. However, by the time we have labored and burned the midnight oil struggling through the strange characters we are, at least, able to write the alphabet. But the most attractive things of all in this department are the nine large machines which occupy most of the tables. These are so interesting to us when we can “hunt and hit but when we have to look at our book and feel our way from one key to the other __that is what we call torturing our “Mother Tongue.’ ' The subjects offered this year are Bookkeeping. Shorthand, Typewriting, Business English, Commercial Geography, and Commercial Lav. A special class has been organized for those who wish to prepare for Civil Service. It is hoped this class will increase the fifty per cent record of last year to one hundred per cent in the April Examination. One of the most interesting and useful subjects given in the business course is Bookkeeping. The class this year is under the supervision of Mr. Magruder, who is well adapted to the work. During the first semester Raymond Lucas was cashier and manager of the bank. In the second semester he was succeeded by Mr. Magruder. The class is progressing very nicely and the pupils are trying hard to get a credit and a half for this years work. 19 MEMOIRS 21 I he English Department If there is any department which has every day studies, it is that one, which feels responsible for all of the “ain't,” “hain'ts,” and final “ats,” spoken by the pupils in High School. Certainly in this field there is great opportunity for missionary endeavor. During our four year course the struggles include a variety of subjects langing from restrictive clauses to Milton’s Aereopogitica. Is it any wonder that a large per cent loose courage after three years? Are not two years of grammar and rhetoric, several volumes of memorized poetry, and all of English literature from Beowulf until now sufficient for any red blooded High School. The small Senior class in American Literature how ever, has been almost a reward for the three years which preceded. It has been composed of seven girls who have not only read for pure pleasure works from all of the greatest American Poets; but also have organized into a finishing school class. Any one can recognize the members of this group by their marked improvement in manners since school opened last fall. Miss Haworth and Miss Overman have divided the Freshmen, while Miss Overman has enjoyed alone one section of Sophomores, two of Juniors and one of the worthy Seniors. Le Francais II faut que chaque eleve etudie le francais pendant deux annees. Ordi-nairement ils ne commencent pas jusqu’a ils sont “sophomores,’ et ont con-quis la langue anglaise. Le premier jour ils apprennent comment on dit “Bonjour, Monsieur,— comment allez vous?” ou “j’ai deux soeurs et un frere.” Mais la gram-maire n est pas toujours si simple. On doit aussi savoir les verbes, et personne ne peut pas dire que les verbes irreguliers sont faciles. Apres qu'ils ont appris assez de gramrraire et de mots francais pour lire et com-prendre intelligemment ce qu’ ils ont lu, ils mettent de cote leur “Fraser Squair” et apportent quelque simple histoire a la classe. Cette annee c est Allen Schoell “Daily French Life’ ’que nous avons choisi. Dan ce petit livre les auteurs nous donnent une idee de la vie francaise. Ils decriv-ent les villes, les maisons, les ecoles, les galeries d’art etc. de France. Mais la grammaire ne peut toujours etre oubliee. II y a encore des pages dans I raser Squair qu il faut apprendre, et dans la deuxieme annee nous continuons a etudier les verbes, le subjonctif etc. Maintenant ils savent assez de francais pour lire quelquechose plus difficile que “Daily French life” et par consequent ils choisisscnt les contes de Maupassant, de V ictor Hugo ou peutoetie une piece. Les eleves ont choisi cette annee une piece nommee “Le Monde Ou Ton s’ennuie” par Pailleron. C’est dommage que nous ne pouvons etudier le francais que deux annees, parceque c est apres qu on sait la grammaire que le francais est interessant. 21 19 MEMOIRS Manual Training We now have two years work in our Manual Training Department. With the aid of our new machinery, we have been able to turn out some good work. Mechanical drawing was introduced the first semester. Due to the war we were unable to obtain drawing instruments last year and had to do all the work this year. At present the advanced class is making a wardrobe for the Elementary Dressmaking Class. Next year Architectural Drawing will be introduced along with the regular course. Mathematics Last year the Mathematics Department was completely established. The curriculum of the Westville Township High School contains a one- eai course in beginning Algebra, one semester in advanced Algebra, a one-year course in Plane Geometry and one semester in Solid Geometry. This year we have had two classes in beginning Algebra and two classes in Plane Geometry. For the size of the High School, the advanced Algebra was larger than would be expected. Quite a number of the Freshmen have shown interest in recreational mathematics. We hope that enough others become intrested so that it will be possible to organize a Mathematics club. 19 MEMOIRS 21 Whispered About the Alumi 1914.

Wt won five games, tied one and lost one to our old enemy, Georgetown. This year we did what other teams in the past have failed to do. We defeated Danville for the first time in the history of W. T. 11. S. Mr. Collins, our coach, deserves much credit for the success of the team. Before “Peelie” came we were not known in the foot-ball world, but this year we were a close contender for the Wabash Valley Championship. The prospects for next year are bright, even though several graduate. Their absence will surely be felt, but we are hoping that the underclassmen will work into the vacant spaces. At a meeting of the team at the close of the season. Andrew Yasaitas was elected captain for the coming year.

Peelie put in all three subs to play the last quarter. SCORE: WESTVILLE 24. RANKIN 11. Friday evening we bucked up against a much tougher proposition. East Lynn had conquered Armstrong the evening before and were enxious to get another victory and so add laurels to their school. The game was close from the start to finish and when the final whistle blew the score stood 17 to 17. At the end of the next 5 minutes of play there was another tie. During the second overtime session “Sis” made 2 field goals, while East Lynn only added 2 points to their score. Thus the game ended in a flurry of excitement. SCORE: WESTVILLE 21. East LYNN 19 Just as all the wise sages predicted Westville played one of the hardest fought battles they ever have or ever hope to play, Saturday afternoon when they met their bitter enemy, Danville. There was other opposition besides that of the quintet. The officials had been “tipped off” to expect crooked work from Westville, consequently the referee seemed to see all our fouls and then some. Our boys worked fast and furious but the combination was too much for them. Danville had only played one game previous to ours and then they used only two of their first team men, so they had three men who were fresh; while our boys had all five played two hard games previous to this one. The loyal Westville rooters were there but what amount of “pep” could they instill with a noisy band and a clamorous crowd drown-ing out their hardest efforts. We, as well as the majority of other schools in the county, feel that the tournament had better be played on a neutral territory, with a neutral referee, with schools of approximately the same size entered. Our last game was Saturday evening with Hoopeston. The discouraging results of the afternoon had taken all the “pep” out of “Peelie’s Tigers” so we were not surprised nor grieved when Hoopeston ran the score up to 23 while our boys made only 8 points.
