COLLINS, Principal To our Principal and Class Advisor, Mr. Guy Russel Collins, whose interest and efforts have been inexhaustable, to him whose example of manhood it has been our privilege to observe, and whose friendship we have shared, this annual is respectfully dedicated..

There are few of the younger generation who can remember the time when V. T. H. S. was non-existent, and yet, but eleven short years ago such was the case. For the two years preceeding 1911, a one year cou.se had been given by Mr. Percy Zimmerman, then Principal of the grade schools Although this was not a high school it was the beginning of one and awakened in the people the realization of such a need. As the demand became more urgent, a high school was organized in 1911 in two rooms of the Central Grade School building, with Mr. Percy Zimmerman as principal, and Myrtle Castile Brittan as his assistant. There were but six students enrolled and, as was to be expected, a very limited course was given. In 1913-14, Mr. J. E. Lunge became principal and thru his efforts the school took its position as accredited in 1915. As time went on and more students entered VV. H. S. the old building became inadequate. A few far-sighted people realized the conditions and set about to have funds raised for a new township high school building. Elections after elections were held but opposition had grown with the years and it was not until 1916 that the people of Westville awoke to a full realization of their need and the funds necessary for a new building were raised. The Ellsworth site was selected and in the fall of 1916, work was begun on the building which is now Westville’s pride. In the fall of 1917 the new edifice was near enough completion to allow school to be started in it. At this time, the grade schools were crowded and in return the high school board of education allowed the seventh and eighth grades to enter the new building as a Junion High School. As such they remained until 1921. Three courses were offered—General, Business and Home Economics. Mr. D. A. Magrudcr became the first principal of the new high school and remained in that position until 1921 when his place was ably filled by Mr. G. R. Collins who had been the athletic coach under Mr. Magruder. Many are the changes which have taken place since the first high school was organized. The enrollment has grown from six to ninety-five and the institution is certainly the greatest interest of the young people in the community, as well as the pride of the older citizens.

We will see again a picture, Tho a tear may dim our eye, Of the years when we were happy, In the dear old Westville High. Through each hour we’ll fondly wander, Every class-mate we’ll recall, Hear again their merry voices, In the large assembly hall. See again our glorious banners, Won on football field and track, And rejoice that we were loyal, To the “Orange and the Black.” We will thank once more our teachers, And recall that they were true. Thank them for their kindness, To the Class of ’22. Through all the years of High School On the incidents we’ll dwell; And at last with sadness linger O’er the time we said “Farewell!” Elizabeth McDonald, Class of ‘22. iiiHiRninHifniiiiiHiHiHiHuiiiiiiiiHniiHiiiuiimiiiiiiiu)uuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNiM 21 19 JANUS 22 CLASS HISTORY It was only four short years ago when we, the Senior Class of 1922, entered the Westville High School. We had already been in the building while in the eighth grade so that we did not have to go thru the customary agony experienced by other freshmen in getting rid of greenness. True to form we led the average toilsome life of a freshman. The next year we began to climb the Ladder to Success. We made a record for ourselves of which anyone should be proud being prominent in athletics and social events. We had five men on the first team in football and three in basketball. After much hard fighting, the Sophomores nosed out the Seniors for first place in the Interclass Basketball Tournament. A Beautiful pennant was awarded the class for this championship, and it was hung up in the assembly as a fitting remembrance of the battle. During the year we gave the “Follies of ‘22” which was a decided success. Many of us took part in the play “Sylvia”. The greatest event of the year was the elaborate banquet given by the Sophomore Class in honor of the champion basket ball team. Our third year, we mounted several rungs up the Ladder. We were well represented in all athletics. In track, Cecil Simpson and Fred Dudley Starred. Cecil broke the Paris, 111., record in the discus throw and Fred won first place in the high jump at Charleston, this being the first time a first place was ever won by a Westville man there. They were also the high point getters ’ in other meets. e gave a party during the year and in May the magnificent Junior-Senior IIop was held in the auditorium of the Westville Township High School. Now we are finishing our fourth year, the last lap of our journey thru high school. We do not mean to stop here but to climb higher on the ladder to success. This has been our banner year. We had seven men on the football team all of whom made a creditable showing. There were five men on the basketball squad and track lacked no support of the Senior class. The annual this year is one of which the school and the town of Westville should be proud. All the members have worked hard on this book and it will be seen that the work has not been in vain. The permanent name “Janus” was chosen by a vote of the entire school. We bid Westville adieu with many regrets and sorrows but with staunch hearts. We are entering the bigger and better life made possible for us by the inspiration received during our past four years of experience. May our High School have reason proudly to claim us as members of its alumni.

As we began at the bottom on entering W. H. S., so does this commencement mean the beginning of our work. “Begin at the beginning, For where else can we begin In shaping lives and honors, The best results to win?” In our school life, we have found that we must cooperate with one another Each for all, and all for each.” Such a spirit must continue to prevail if we are to remain true to the traditions of dear old W. T. H. S. Education is the principle means of broadening our minds. The past four years have enlarged our visions and awakened within us the longing to live up to the splendid ideals of high school life which, by the faithful efforts of our instructors, have been instilled in our hearts and minds. In this day and age, it is very important that young people get an education if they are successfully to meet the problems of the future. The possibilities of tomorrow demand careful preparation by the people of our generation. More than ever in this present day must we take an interest in the duties of civic and national life if we would live to our greatest capacity, and bring to fulfillment a life so full of love of our work that there is little room for anything else. In an ignorant state, man is content to know nothing, do nothing, have nothing, and consequently, be nothing, but the boy or girl w hose every faculty has been developed, desires to achieve, and loves his work. Though our work may lie within certain narrow limits, let us remember that scope is not ab solutely necessary to success, for some of the most beautiful tunes have been played on one string of a violin. Anyone who cannot figure the love of his work as half his pay, has the wrong job. The end and object of our existence should be work, or the legitimate employment of all our faculties, Work for God, for man, work in whatever position we are placed. If we can follow honest toil as a first principle, we will find how satisfyingly all pleasures group themselves about. We have chosen, Honor lies in Honest Toil,” to pilot us. If we can but live up to this motto and achieve our honors by it, we shall not only have the admiration of the world, but the greatest of all honors our own self respect. 23 1 9 JANUS 22 IHIIMIUIIIIIIIIIIHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIilllllHIIIIIIIIIIItlNNWIlHlltlHIlHM CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1922, still being sound in mind and well in body, in order to dispose of all our earthly and cherished possessions before we embark on our voyage of life with the uncertainty of eternity before u:., do ordain, establish, and declare this to be our last will and testament: i. W e, the Senior Class of 1922, will 1. The honor of occupying in a dignified manner our assembly seats. 2. To Mr. Collins we will: 1. The right to use our “hardness” on the Freshmen. 3. To Mr. Sutherd we will: 1. The right to be the idol of the women faculty members, p -o viding George does not object. 4. 5. To Miss Zika we will: 1. The right to crack nuts in the domestic science room, if he does not call on Mr. Tison to help her. To Miss Overman we will: 1. All the good poetry, orations, and stories found in our exseats. 6. To Miss Winkler we bequeath: 1. Our French “lingo” when speaking to the janitor. 7. 8. To Miss Swaim we will: 1. Our melodious and harmonious voices. To Mr. File we leave: 1. Our fighting spirit, never to be used on his wife. 9. To Miss Browne we will: 1. The right to worship “Fuzzy” if she doesn’t do it when the Junior girls are around. 10. To Mrs. Grubb we will: 1. Our “pep” in cheering the football boys, providing she doesn’t overpep and fight the rival rooters. 11. (Swede) Peter Chapausky wills: 1. His ability to bluff the teachers to Sherwood. 12. Naomi Buskirk wills: 1. All her excess knowledge and quiet manner to Snub. 13. (Runt) Charles Bauser wills: 1. His love for Ruby to anyone as handsome as himself. 24 19 JANUS 22 IIUIUUMillllUIUIIIIIIIIIIlllllMIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINmilUIUIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIHIUIIItlUUIIIINIINIIIlIHUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM “Honest Toil!” Let us ponder on the full meaning of this phrase. Does it mean to do only work that is accepted as honest in the eyes of the world? Or does it mean that if we have not lived to the full limit of our capabilities, have not left our “foot-prints on the sands of time,” we have not been employed in honest toil. The fabric of a successful life would not long survive were we to forget and abandon the ideals and habits formed in a pleasant school enviroment such as we have enjoyed during our four years of high school life. We know we may sometimes fail in our purpose just as others have failed, even when we are trying hardest. But we hope to grow in wisdom and happiness until our most golden dreams shall become realities. “Honor lies in honest toil.” In choosing our life’s work, let us keep in mind this motto, and remember that we will not be found wanting in the eyes of the world if our path has lain in honest toil. “Act well your part, Therein all honor lies.” Naomi Buskirk ‘22. ........................................................................................................Ill....... hduil' 25 19 JANUS 22 llIUniHIUliMItlflilllllHIHUHlUUIlIHUimilillllHIIIIIHimillMllllllltlllllllllllUM 14.

Being more than half way thru our High School career, we have discovered ourselves old enough to be listened to when expressing an opinion and not too decrepit to be placed upon the shelf. The term “Upperclassmen” has been used in describing us. Surely this must be the year of years tho they tell us that there is much to anticipate in being a Senior. Probably the greatest attainment of the year has been the actual publication of a real newspaper, “The Westville High,” which is the realization of a longed for hope. This paper is the first of its kind and is published once every month of the school year. It is paid for by subscriptions and the generous aid of local advertising. Thru its columns the members of our institution are kept informed as to the High School W hirl and many literary efforts of merit have already been published. W ho knows but that it may be some day the instrument thru which a genius’ voice will first be heard. We have been well represented in football, basketball and track, and have six girls in the Semi-Chorus. In dramatics and Public Speaking too, one always finds the name of our classmates. On Hallowe’en we entertained successfully the Seniors in the High School building. Miss Brown and Mr. Sutherd acted as chaperones. We have one more year in which to continue great things. Our class has never failed to do what has been asked of it and we hope never will. , , ..st LONGFELLOWS CLUB L°ng............... Longer............. More Long.......... Most Long..........

In the fall many of our boys practiced football and several were on the first team. In fact we have great hopes for a splendid position in all athletics during the rest of our High School career. Before Christmas we “broke into society” with a card party in the High School building. Each member of the class was allowed one guest and Miss Winkler, Miss Brown, and Mr. Collins, acted as chaperones. In the Semi-Chorus the Sophomores are essential as well as on the Literary Society Basketball teams, and in dramatics. A Sophomore, however, is in a position to anticipate rather than reminisce. May we all return next fall with the same enthusiasm to keep up the good spirit of the Class of '24. .4 ,4 ,4 POPULAR MAGAZINES Life ..................... True Stories .............

MY DOG SPOT It was somewhere back in nineteen hundred twenty when I bought Spot. Being the first dog I had ever owned, he was very near to my heart. Not even his marked peculiarities could alter the feeling of loyalty which was very soon developed. One of the strangest things in which he persisted was the refusal of food. Oreat quantities were placed before him, but he would not touch a morsel. et he remained sleek and fat, and unaltered. It was really a point in his favor that no food need be provided for it made him much less expensive to keep. Another of his queer ways was that in which he watched the house. He would sit facing the gate for hours at a time in a position from which he could see all passers by. But never did he run, chase, and bark in the usual obnoxious manner of canines. This uncommon faithfulness was often remarked by my friends and neighbors. In fact, no one wrho observed him could recall another dog that could be found on duty even thru the night. Last year, however, was one of many misfortunes to Spot. To begin with my brother in a fit of rage kicked him and broke his leg. Soo nafter, he was taken ill and began to lose his hair. It fell ou; in spots, giving him a checkered appearance which was pitiful. Another time, my neighbor’s little boy used him for a target in “breaking in” a new air gun. Spot was hit in the eye so that there was a hole instead of an eye from then on. On top of all these insults and injuries, my brother ran over and broke his tail with a toy automobile. Poor old Spot! Alas, he was a woeful sight -the remnants of a broken leg, and tail, one blind eye, and an irregular plaid coat of hair. One morning my mother told me to get rid of him. The next day I took my Spot and dropped him into the ash can. You see he was only the chalk statue of a dog. JOSEPH KALUSA '25. JANUS 1 9 2 2 ESSAY CONTEST During the month of December, the First National Bank of Westville conducted an essay contest which was open to all students in High School. The subject, “Benefits of the First National Bank of Westville to Phis Community,’’was assigned one month before the papers were due and about eighty-five people entered. Ten dollars was awarded the best essay, five for the second, and ten one dollar prizes to the ten next highest. The judges, officers of the Vermilion County Bankers Association, consisted of Mr. James Foster of The American Bank Trust Company, Danville; Herman Douglas, of Catlin ; and Wade Holton of the First National Bank of Sidell. Following are the people who received prizes: First prize ..... Second prize Joe Chromis Paul Somers Georgiena Brown Blanche Lete Wesley Hickman Marcella Stulginskis .....Edward Dolak Naomi Buskirk Harry Huffman Florence Adams Rosa Slazas Eileen Kelley FIRST PRIZE “Benefits of The First National Bank of Westville to This Community.” In the days, not very long ago, when the First National Bank was started at Westville, it was located in the back part of a store, and was anything but strong. People said that the bank would not keep up, but they were mistaken as is now seen. Many writers have had something to say about the miser and his hoard, under a brick in a cellar. They have told us how the miser would take the hoard out in the dead of the night, count and recount the shining pieces, and how he would put the coins back in the old can or sock. Also these writers have told many things about the old maid’s fortune, which she kept in a family relic, an old cracked earthen jar. There might be some of these misers and maids in this community to add to the list about which so much has been said. But why describe this small minority and altogether forget the “John Smithses” who put their money in the care of the bank. With the humble beginning in the back part of a store, The First National Bank of Westville not only kept up, but started to grow, and kept on growing, and in fact is still growing. As we find the bank today, it is a modern institution. It does not occupy the back part of a store, but is located in a fine brick structure of its own. The First National Bank of this community, as well as any bank of any liMutiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiniiiiuiiiNuiniiuiHimiiiHii 46 iiiiiiiintitntiiMni(ifiiiniiiiUMiiiiiiiMfHiifiiiiiiiittiiiiiininHiHiii«iiniintimnnfMri i IIIIIIUIIIMIIIUIIIIIIIIUIIIUIIIIJIHUIIIUIII JANUS 1 9 2 2 community is the money raising medium. If we had no bank, or something to take the place of a bank, money as it now stands would be practically valueless—and what would the world do without its medium of Exchange? When the government is in need of money, it gets its loans through the bank. V hen the farmer of this community is in need of money he goes to the hirst National Bank where he can borrow. When a traveler of this town, leaves town, state, or even country, his traveling checks and “letters of cred it’’ from the local bank furnish him with the necessary funds. Furthermore, the banker and members or directors of the First National Bank of this community have some idea of law, real estate, and “wild cat stock,” and their advice on these matters is to be taken into consideration. A banker’s word general is as good as gold. But that isn't all that the First National Bank of Westville does. It takes care of your money, and pays you because it takes care of it for you. Of course the bank makes money in these transactions, for otherwise how could it exist? By paying three per cent on deposits, the bank teaches us that the money we earn will earn money for us. The First National Bank of this community also offers safety deposit boxes for one’s valuable papers, such as deeds for real estate. Your papers of all sorts and kinds cannot be safer elsewhere. If you want your house insured—the First National Bank of this community will gladly do it for you. If you want to send money to another town—the bank drafts will do it. Also the children of today in this community become better citizens of tomorrow, by being taught how to save their pennies and dimes. They may join the Christmas Savings Club of the First National Bank. If you have any work to be done with official documents, the Notary Public, a director of the bank, will do it for you. The First National Bank of this community backs up the schools. For example the loans which were made students at the time when they wished to go with the football team to another town. There is ample time in the allowed year for saving and paying back the small amount of the loan. This is clearly an instance of willingness to be inconvenienced in order to be of service to the Westville people. No High School annual or newspaper is ever published without an advertisement from the bank. Splendid examples of this spirit are shown by the way the students who wish to attend college are backed, by the way churches, and charitable drives and institutions are supported. But why go further into details? It seems that the bank knows all the needs of this community and is prepared to give and is giving it the best service possible, from filling out the income tax reports to paying three per cent on all deposits. The First National Bank of Westville is backing you. Are you willing to back and are you backing the bank? MARCELLA STULGINSKIS ’22 IIIliiHUtlHUHIUIIlHi 47 1 9 JANUS 2 2 SECOND PRIZE An important institution of Westville is The First National Bank. When people have money troubles they usually go to the bank and borrow, paying the debt out of their salary, a little at a time with interest. The people who have a larger income than they need can go to the bank and deposit it in a safe and profitable place. There they receive three per cent interest on their money. The F'irst National Bank is backed by the Federal Bank. The safe is burglar proof. It is a far better and safer place than at home. The present officials are to be trusted with money, and to give advice to customers on business matters. People can deposit their money whenever they wish. If a man happens to have a large income or small he can save part of it in the bank where it is safe, and draws three per cent interest. It may be taken out whenever business is bad and he needs the money. By careful saving one may use his own money instead of borrowing. If a man works hard and saves when he is young and able to work, he need not work when he is old and feeble. In this way the bank helps the people to prepare for the future. When the farmer is short of money and needs to buy more land or stock, he can go to the bank and borrow as much as he needs and pay it back when he sells his grain. Many times a merchant needs a little money in winter to buy goods. His customers perhaps have failed to meet their bills. He simply goes to the bank and borrows the money as he needs it and pays it back when his customers pay their bills. If there were no banks many people would have unnecessary trouble. The bank teaches the children to save money by organizing a Christmas Saving Club. In that way the children are better prepared for future life. The First National Bank loans money to people who want to start business. When that business man has made a success he loans money to the bank, which in turn loans that money to someone else. The First National Bank of Westville has helped the Westville public schools by lending funds to the school board for the teachers’ salaries. Without money to pay the salaries of our teachers, the schools would have to close and the children’s educations would be neglected. The banks make it easier for the people to send money to other places by selling drafts and making out money orders. In almost innumerable ways tbe community is dependent upon the Bank. Westville should appreciate the valuable service rendered it by the First National Bank. aiiiimmiiiufiiininuiiiHiitinnmfnMiiiifiimiiiimimmHiiiiniiniiiHiiiiiiiiiiirtiimtiiiwHimiiiNiiniiimttmmtiiiiiimn 48 EDWARD DOLAK ’25. DRAMATICS On the evening of December twenty-first we were entertained by the first Annual High School Carnival in the High School building. At this time there were presented two plays under the auspices of Mrs. Mack Taylor and Miss Overman. The first, Barbara’s Wedding, was a clever one act play, by James Mathew Barrie. It was the first really serious piece which has been attempted in our school recently, and was very favorably received. The stage was converted into a charming English garden and the members of the cast quite lost themselves in their portrayal of the various roles.

This program consisted of a variety of numbers both musical and dramatic. The Society is planning to give a play in the near future. In the early part of February the girls’ and boys’ teams each defeated the I. B. I. Society. On the afternoon of February 22nd, the teams again met and altho the boys’ team was again victorious the girls’ team met defeat. The purpose of the society is to have one member take part in one program or event once during the school year. The experience gained in taking part in a program is invaluable to students. The rivalry between the two societies has kept interest alive in this new form of activity at Westville High School. 51 JANUS 1 9 2 2 IIHHWIIIIIMIUIIIHHintHII 1 1914 Agatha Ambrose is now Mrs. Frank Bailey.

Mr. Collins was present as a special guest—also Miss Helen Williams of Clinton, Ind., formerly a member of Westville High School. October 13— I he first number of the Lyceum Course, given for the benefit of the Senior class, featured Mr. William E. Bohn, a very eloquent and accomplished lecturer. The citizens of Westville certainly appreciated the number, being interested in his subject, which included conditions of the world in general. October 29— The Juniors entertained the Seniors at a Hallowe’en party. Everyone was masqued and a very pleasant evening was spent. Decorations were in keeping with the season. Miss Browne and Mr. Sutherd were chosen as chaperones. November 23— I he second number of the Lyceum course was a treat to lovers of music. It consisted of the work of the celebrated Tennessee Duo.

I he whole crowd took on an air of gaiety amid showers of confetti, paper whirls, and the sounds of horns and whistles. This event was very successful in a financial way, and the proceeds were divided between the Junior Newspaper, the Lyceum Course, and the Senior Annual. After the experience gained in giving this one, everyone anticipates a better and larger performance next year. January 21 — The fourth performance of the Lyceum Course seemed to be the favorite. It was given by the talented Misses Evelyn and Patricia French and Miss Armstrong. Music on the saxaphone, clarinet, and piano was cleverly rendered by the Misses French as well as were the violin selections by Miss Armstrong. Monologues also held a favored place on the programme. February 23— The fifth programme featured the Warwick Male Quartet, one of the liveliest and most enjoyable numbers of the entire course. They were primarily vocalists of training. These artists were experienced in solo as well as ensemble work, possessing wonderful instrumental abilities.

The first semester includes work in practical cookery and in the second, complete meals are prepared, and served in the well equipped dining room. Besides getting the experience in meal serving, the girls learn much about marketing since they buy the materials which they use in the meals. 58 .T“ JANUS 1 9 Htmifii 2 2 Girls are trained in the science of home making through courses in Home Nursing, Dietetics, Household Management, Invalid Cookery and Art and Design in addition to their regular work in cooking and sewing. Next year, sewing classes will he substituted for the food classes. The girls will begin by making simple garments and end with dresses. A short course in millinery will be included in this sewing course. .. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The ever essential English Department submits the following report : There are five classes this year, the Freshmen having been so great in number as to demand two sections. In November “Better Speech W eek” was advertised and observed. Grammar and Composition have received the usual emphasis in the first year work, and there have been interesting oral reports taken from the Literary Digest articles as well as occasional hours devoted to the memorizing and interpretation of poetry. The Sophomores have enjoyed “A Tale of Two Cities,” “Silas Marner,” and “Twelfth Night.” They have produced from among their number several really talented story writers. The third year people have been commendably diligent in their pursuit of the History of English Literature and the literature itself. In spite of the fact that Hamlet’s soliloquies seemed long at first, they were willingly mastered. The Seniors have shown unusual interest and enthusiasm for learning more about American Literature. Both Halleck’s “History of American Literature” and “The Chief American Poets” by Curtis Hidden Page have been used as text books. The members of the section have become familiar with American prose works as well as poetic, by reading a prescribed list of novels and essays outside of class. jt jt , HISTORY DEPARTMENT Ancient History and American History are the courses being offered this year. Contemporary History is correlated with American by the use of the Literary Digest as a text book. The Ancient History classes besides learning of Caesar, Antony, and Brutus, have delved into the old myths and legends of Greece and Rome. 59 1 9 iiuiiiiiiiiiiifiiinitfiitiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiti JANUS 2 2 COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The bookkeeping department of the W. T. H. S. is well equipped, including a Burroughs adding machine and a banking department. Students in the W. T. H. S. Commercial department can get specialized training in commercial subjects and be as well equipped to enter the business field as business college graduates. This means a great saving to those who have chosen business as their vocation. The bookkeeping classes, although small this year, have been making progress and show a keen interest in their work. The text book and business transactions have been changed to the “20th Century Bookkeeping and Accounting. I he student has handled actual business forms, transactions, and problems taken from every day business. In other words the student has learned “to do” by “doing.” The Shorthand classes are not so large this year as formerly, but everyone is interested in his work and great things are being accomplished in the three north rooms on the second floor. The advanced class is endeavoring to keep up the good work of the last two years by studying hard for the next Civil Service Examination which will be held in April. The High School Newspaper and Annual are being typewritten by the Typing 111 class. The subjects offered in the Business Department this year include bookkeeping, shorthand, typewriting, commercial arithmetic, business letter writing, commercial law, stenographer’s office training, and business spelling. jt j FRENCH DEPARTMENT The Modern Language course consists of two years of French. The first year is devoted primarily to the study of grammar and pronunciation. In the second semester, after the students have mastered a sufficient vocabulary and the main essentials of grammatical construction, an easy reader, such as Daily French Life,” is attempted. Second year French is a continuation of the study of grammar, but this year more time is devoted to literature. Among the most popular books read are “Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon,” “L’ Abbe Constantin,” and “Eugene Grandit.” IHHWMWIIIMiWHMIHIWffllWIllllHIIIHIIlirHHIIIHIIinHIlHniM 61 JANUS 1 9 2 2 SCIENCE DEPARTMENT This year the students of W. T. H. S. were given complete courses in C hemistry, Physics, Physiology, Physiography, Botany and Zoology. The instruction in all the sciences included both laboratory and class work. Field trips were given in Physiography, Zoology, and Botany, while the Physics and Chemistry classes made inspection trips to the Hegler Zinc and Sulphuric Acid Factory, the Water Works, the Ice Plant, and the Gas Plant in Danville. The classes obtained a lot of practical knowledge from these trips, which are not so available to all high schools. PHYSIC)L( GY DEPARTMENT Physiology is compulsory in the freshman year. The aim of the courses is to teach the pupils how to live according to the modern ideas of health, sanitation, and hygiene. There are three physiology classes this year. Two of them are composed of pupils taking various courses. The third section is composed of girls taking home economics. Laboratory work is included in this home economics class for the purpose of giving the girls an opportunity to relate definitely the facts they learn from the text book with their work in home economics. MATHEMATICS The usual high standard work has been offered by the mathematics department this year. Classes in beginning and advanced algebra with an extra algebra section during the second semester to meet the needs of the entering Freshmen and classes in plane and solid geometry have been conducted. 63 JANUS 1 9 2 2 MANUAL TRAINING Manual Training is becoming a very popular course with the Freshmen boys. It is an elective and most of the boys choose it. This year so many signed up that several had to be placed in other classes. Mechanical Drawing is also offered this year with Manual Training. It is taught two days each week. The classes are designing and planning the construction of twelve drawing tables. Each year something is made for the school. Wood turning is being offered this semester to second year students. je Miss Overman (to Crow and Fish who were making a disturbance)— “Boys be quiet or go down and settle with Mr. Collins.” Crow—“We don’t owe him anything.” Little Freddy (watching the teachers get off the 8 o’clock car from Danville—one, sporting a new pair of flapping galoshes)—“Oh ! mother, there goes one of those bootleggers.” G4 19 JANUS iiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiimiiiiiiniiiwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniuiuiiiiiiiiiiiHHiiiiiiiiutiiHiuiiniiitHiiiiiiniifiiiiiiiiiiitiitiiiiiiuiiuiiiiiiiiiiifiiiuhit 2 2 JANUS “Janus am I; oldest of potentates; Forward I look, and backward, and below 1 count, as god of avenues and gates, The years that through my portals come and go. I block the roads and drift the fields with snow, I chase the wild-fowl from the frozen fen; My frosts congeal the rivers in their How; My fires light up the hearths and hearts of men.” —LONGFELLOW. In order to be assured of a permanent name for our annual, a vote of the entire school was taken this year. Many suggestions were made, but none to surpass “Janus.” Janus was an important Roman god of the past, present and future; of gates, entrances, war and peace and patron of all beginnings. He was represented with two faces, turned in opposite directions, because he was well acquainted with the past and future as well as with the present, and because he was considered an emblem of the sun, which opens the day at its rising, and closes the day at its setting. He is represented with one white-haired and bearded face while the other is quite youthful in appearance. The commencement of every new year, month, and day was held sacred to Janus, and at that time special sacrifices and prayers were offered up at his shrines. He also presided over all gates and avenues, and through him alone prayers were supposed to reach the immortal gods: therefore, in all religious ceremonies his name was always the first invoked. He was also supposed to watch over peace and war, and had numerous temples throughout all Italy. In times of war the temple gates were opened wide, for the people, being in need of aid and comfort, were all anxious to enter and present their offerings; but when peace reigned, the doors were immediately closed, for the god’s intercession was no longer necessary. The Romans, however, were such a belligerent people, that the temple gates were closed but three times in more than seven centuries, and then only for a very short period. Festivals in honor of Janus were celebrated on the first day of the new year ; and one month bore the god’s name, and was considered sacred to him. It was customary for friends and relatives to exchange calls, good wishes, and gifts on the first day of this month—a Roman custom in force to this day. lllllMlllilHIIIUlIHUlINlllflIHHUI 65 VERMILION COUNTY CHAMPIONS aiifniiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiuiiiiuiiiiiin iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniuiiiiiiiiiiMitiiii 1 9 JANUS inimtiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiKUdmiiiiiimiiii 2 2 FOOTBALL 1921 By Peter Chapausky, Sport Editor Westville finally realized its expectations and won the undisputed foot ball championship of Vermilion county. Due to the injuries of Garlin, Raiser. and Yasaitis, captain, we lost the last two games on our schedule, Be-ment and Atwood. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Sutherd who soon demonstrated there was but little about football he didn’t know. He was entirely responsible for the wonderful showing made by the team. At the beginning of the season about thirty men reported for practice. At the end of the second week only twenty-two were on the squad. They were all “Stickers” and were out every night during the remainder of the season. Sidell vs. Westville. On October 2nd, Sidell came to this city to open the 1921 football season. This was a very easy game for Westville and gave the coach a chance to look over his men in action. Practically every one on the squad was used sometime during the game. Westville won, 68-0. Villa Grove vs. Westville. The next Saturday, October 9th, Villa Grove gave us the return game which they had owed for almost five years. Danville defeated Villa Grove, 39-0, October 2nd, so we were determined to better their score. Villa Grove went home on the short end of an 86-6 score. Their made their lone touchdown while the entire second team was in the game. Oakland vs. Westville. On October 15th, Westville journeyed to Oakland for a game with the highly touted team of that place. They didn’t have the team we had expected and at the end of the first half the score was 35-0 in our favor. At the beginning of the second half, the coach started to run in the “second string” men. Oakland fought hard but could not overcome the big lead. The game ended 42-13 in favor of Westville. Georgetown vs. Westville. On October 22nd, we played Georgetown for the championship of Vermilion county. About fifteen hundred football fans from all over the county witnessed the game. It was hard fought all the way and was free from unnecessary roughness. At the start Simpson kicked off to Macklin who ran the ball back to Georgetown’s 20 yard line. On the first down Macklin punted to Darkin, who, with very good interference .returned the ball to Georgetown’s 35 yard 1 9 iHiiitfiitiiiiiiii.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMuiiiiiitiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiii JANUS IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHINIIIIIIIIIIIIH 2 2 line. Using straight football the ball was advanced to Georgetown’s 8 yard line. I’.alser then circled their left end for the first touchdown of the game. Simpson kicked goal. Georgetown kicked off to Westville. The ball was returned to their own 30 yard line. ith line smashes and short end runs, Simpson went over for the second touchdown. He then kicked goal. I he first quarter ended with the ball in YY estville’s possession on George town’s 25 yard line. The second quarter had just been star'.ed when Balser slipped olf tackle for the third touchdown. S mpson kicked goal. The half ended with the ball in midfield. Yestville played an entirely defensive game in the second half and punt ed whenever in possession of the ball. Near the end of the third quarter we took the ball on the 50 yard line and with straight football pushed Garlin over for the fourth and last touchdown. Simpson missed the goal. The rest of the game was a punting duel between Macklin and Garlin, with Garlin getting much the better of it. Joe Chromis was sent into the game during the last quarter, the only Westville substitution made during the game. Score: Wcr. v ile, 27; Georgetown, 0. YVestville Appanaitis ........

Monticello vs. Westville Monticello, a s rong contender for the East-Central Championship came here October 29th, with a large aggregation of rooters and a team that was more than confident it could “knock off” W’estville. The game was played on a wet and slippery field, which slowed up both teams. Monticello had a wonderful forward passing team, but could not plug our line or run our ends. I hey succeeded in making two touchdowns and kicking both goals. During this time YVestville put over six touchdowns, by playing straight football. ntHHiHimi� iiiiHiiiiiiiiu!iiiHitiiiHiiiiiiiiiuiii!iiittiiimnt!ioitniiiintiiii!tit«nii«4iiituiininiiitit!ii tiniinuF!!uiniiii!iiiiiiiimiiiiiii::!itimi:-:t: 71 'IlltUltttlllUIII IIIKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllli: 19 JANUS 22 lillllHHtmilltlimiltllllllUIIIItllWIWWlllllHMIlHlUWnMMIHIIlllllMHIHlIHlHIIIM Simpson kicked five goals out of six trials. The first half was a real battle, but the Monticello team weakened at the beginning of the second while West-villc seemed to gain strength. Capt. Yasaitis, Garlin and Balser were injured during this game. Score: 'estville, 41 ; Monticello, 14. Hoopeston vs. Westville Hoopeston came here Nov. 5th. with the expectation of wrecking our claim to the Vermilion County Championship. They knew we were very badly crippled and thought they might be able to turn the trick. estville played a mighty “ragged brand” of football, but was able to win 35 0. By winning this game we won the undisputed championship of the county. Bement vs. Westville Westville celebrated Armistice Day by traveling to Bement and dropping its first game of the season to the undefeated team of Piatt County, 27-6. I he game was played on a field covered with water and mud. Three of our regulars were out due to injuries received in the Monticello game. Atwood vs. Westville Atwood came to Westville Thanksgiving Day and gave us a 27-0 “drubbing.” Luck, featured with clever passing and sensational line smashes by the blue sweatered boys from Piatt County caused our downfall. The Westville team, playing without the services of two back field stars and a lineman were greatly handicapped and did not play up to form. Line-Up for 1921 L.

Certainly the organization is established for all time. ■ After many practice meetings, we appeared upon the football field last fall with pep and to spare for the season. At home and abroad we were recognized as leaders and were well supported by cheering. Everything, from the trip to Bement to the funeral services following our Georgetown victory, has been declared a huge success.

I hrough respect to Moyd Garlin we canceled our first two games and didn’t open the season until the 20th of January. Besides, we lost the services of two letter men, Max Larkin and Charles Stachokas, who left school at the end of the first semester. That left us with two old men, Pete Chapausky, Capt., and Cecil Simpson. Playing under such a great handicap, the fellows worked hard and deserve a lot of credit. Westville should have another good team next year, as quite a number of Sophomores and Freshmen are showing up well, and are anxious to get their trial.

Before, Westville Township High School was just a participant in the various meets over the country, but this year we had a bunch of fellows who were always sure of a few places. Westville entered in five meets during the season and made a splendid showing. On Saturday, April 23, Westville held its First Annual Track and Field Meet. Catlin, Hoopeston, Indianola, Sidell and Westville High Schools took part. Fifty-six men from the five schools were entered, and considering the cool weather, some very good records were made. Westville 'Township High School experienced very little trouble in winning the meet. 'The boys ran up a total of sixty points, placing in every event except the 220 yard dash. Catlin took first, second, and third places in this. Cecil Simpson of Westville and Parker of Catlin were the high point winners. Each scored eighteen points. The teams finished as follows: High School Points 1. Westville Township.........................60 2. Catlin Township............................26 3. Indianola Township.........................]6 4.

Twenty-three schools contested, including the larger High Schools of Indiana and Illinois. This was one of the fastest meets of the year, in which seven records were broken. Cecil Simpson had the honor of breaking the discus record when he hurled 113 feet 10 inches. Fred Dudley made an excellent showing in the high jump, going 5 feet, 8 4 inches, but lost to Evans of Brazil, Indiana, who cleared the bar at 5 feet 11 inches. This ties the Illinois-Indiana Interscholastic Record.

Paris was second with twenty points, and Westville was third with sixteen points. This was the meet that put Westville Township High School on the map. All “Loyal Westvillians” should he proud of these fellows who represented them and made such a creditable showing. After the good record the team had made in the first two meets they were taken to Charleston, May 7, to participate in the Eleventh Annual Interscholastic Athletic Meet given by the Eastern Illinois State Normal School. Twenty-nine of the largest Illinois High Schools were entered and more than half of the records were lowered. The schools finished in the following order: First...................................Champaign Second................................Springfield Third ......................................Casey Fourth ....................................Urbana Fifth ......................................Paris Sixth ..................................Westville Fred Dudley won the high jump, making 5 feet 7j4 inches. Floyd Garlin placed fourth in the 220 yard hurdles. The record was broken in the race. Cecil Simpson had a bad day and did not live up to expectations. He should have won first place in the discus, but came home with the bronze medal. He also tied for third place in the broad jump. I he ermilion County Field and Track Meet was held on the Westville township High School Athletic Field, Saturday, May 14, for the first time in tlie history of the school. Westville Township High School ran away with the meet. Every member of the team entered with a determination to win. Fred Dudley was injured in practice the week before and was unable to do more than win third place in the hurdles, broad jump, and tie in the high jump. However, the others made up for him. Cecil Simpson attained great glory when he won three gold medals by taking first place in the 50 yard dash, broad jump, and discus throw. Raymond Lucas surprised every one, including himself, by tying for first place in the pole vault. Luck was with him and he won the gold medal in the toss. Floyd Garlin had a great day. He won the high jump and was edged out of first place in the 220 yard hurdles by inches. The mile run was the most bitterly contested race of the day. The first three men finished in a bunch.

Julius Matkocsik won third place in the 880 yard run and, according to the referee and most of the spectators, should have had a place in the 440 yard dash. I he relay race, the last event of the day, was the most exciting and, from estville’s point of view, the best event of the meet. Georgetown, winner of the relay race for nineteen consecutive years, was given the race before it had been run. Catlin was given credit for a close second. No one knew that we had a team, so we weren’t being considered. Cecil Simpson was the “anchorman” of Westville and was running second to Parker, of Catlin, with Macklin, of Georgetown, a step behind when he gave the baton to Julius Matkocsik. In this lap Julius a little more than held his own. Dudley ran the third lap and came down the stretch ahead, giving Garlin about ten yards start on the last lap. After that, the race was over for Garlin ran away down the field and won by about fifty yards. The day was a success in every respect. More money was turned over to the association from this meet than any other in the history of the Vermilion County Athletic Association. It all shows that Westville can “deliver the goods” when given the opportunity.
