JANUS Published Annually by the SENIOR CLASS OF THE WESTVILLE TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL WESTVILLE, ILLINOIS VOLUME V Two FLOYD ERNEST GARLIN October 9, 1904—December 28, 1921 To the memory of our former classmate and friend, Floyd Ernest Garlin, whose loyalty was and is a source of inspiration to us, this annual is respectfully dedicated. Three WESTVILLE TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL We will connect this history, not with the past, but will endeavor to relate the important details, which have made our school what it is at the present time. Many changes have taken place since the first high school was organized. The enrollment has grown enormously, due to the large number of Freshmen, and the institution is certainly the greatest interest of the young people in the community as well as the pride of the older citizens. Mrs. Grubb has been teaching for a number of years and we certainly will feel at a loss when we have completed our journey, and she will still have the privilege of remaining in Westville High. To Miss Farmer, who just commenced teaching the second semester, we are ever grateful for the revival of our music department. With her aid we are looking forward with the utmost confidence to being successful in placing in the coming annual Scholastic Contest. The three new teachers who started out with us the first semester are Miss Fleming, Miss Elder and Miss Dependahl, who have fulfilled their duties in every way possible. They not only teach us the better and more ideal essentials of life, but their hearts are constantly in touch with the High School, by showing their school spirit in all our activities. Mr. Sutherd deserves much credit in his unceasing efforts with the boys in athletics, and is numbered among the first individuals who started to put the small High School of Westville on the map. Miss Elder, the new7 physical training teacher, also deserves much credit by placing the girls’ athletics among the most important activities in our high school. We have at present not only basketball, but volley ball, baseball, and will later on have tennis. Mr. File, our history and commercial teacher, with Miss Dependahl, has been directly responsible for making the Westville High, our school newspaper, the best in Vermilion County. Miss Zika has developed the home economics department to a very high state of efficiency. She ran a cafeteria for six weeks, during the bad weather, that wTas a “life saver.” During the school term we have had many prominent speakers visiting our High School. This proves that Westville High School is known far and wide and this is partly due to our principal. Mr. Collins, for his invaluable services and relentless spirit tow7ard placing our High School on the road to success and prosperity. Mildred Boyd, ’23.

As Freshmen, we organized, electing Joe Rose president. Often we served as a target for the fiery darts of the upper classmen; not a few times were we the source of their many jeers. But we lived through it in view of the fact that every dog will have his day as sure as the sun rises. We soon passed that “green” stage, however, and made excellent records in the student athletic and social worlds, all of which proved prophetic of our future years in high school. We made our debut into society when we were entertained at a Hallowe’en party by the Seniors. Our athletes were Floyd Garlin, John Savisky, Max Darkin, Joe Ross and Frank Passis. Our girls, too, had their basketball team. We were also represented in dramatics and in the semi-chorus. As Sophomores we again distinguished ourselves as athletes and as students. We lost five members that year, leaving but twenty. We organized and elected Mildred Boyd president. The second semester two more members were added to our class, taking the places of two other members who left us earlier in the year. Then suddenly we became Juniors. Space is lacking to give mention to all the red letter days during this year. Max Darkin was president and Floyd Garlin vice-president. We were well represented in all athletics and in the semi-chorus. We took an active part in dramatics and public speaking; probably the greatest attainment of the year was the publication of a real newspaper, “The Westville High,” the first of its kind in the history of W. T. H. S. We became Seniors even more suddenly than we had become Juniors. We elected Grace Gillison president and Mildred Boyd editor-in-chief of our year book, “The Janus.” All of us busied ourselves in preparation of “The Janus.” In a word, the class of ’23 is made of good students, almost every member appearing on the honor roll. In number there are seventeen, thirteen girls and but four boys. Three of these boys are athletes. The girls, also, had their basketball team. In all branches of student activity, in scholarship, in athletics, in society, and in dramatics, we have distinguished ourselves and W. T. H. S. As the hour of departure draws nearer, we think regretfully of the good friends and gay times we must soon leave behind us. Yet we have lived our high school life and our history there has been made. Soon we will be members of its alumni. It is our inevitable duty to move on and give the ethers a chance to see what they can do. It is not our intention to stop here, however; but it is our intention to move on and on, making our aim high. And, as the poet says: “Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints in the sands of time.” By Grace Gillison, ’23. Twem-y BE SQUARE In the year nineteen hundred and nineteen, we, a little class of serious freshmen, entered Westville Township High School intent upon gaining the fundamentals of knowledge. After four short years of work combined with pleasure, this same little class is now leaving their Alma Mater confident that they have not entirely strived in vain. During these years, we have gained the first principles of a real education. “What good will it do them?” some “crepe-hanger” will probably ask. “It’s just a waste of time when they could be earning their living.” We will confess that many sacrifices have been made by our parents to send us through school, but we are also confident that at some time they will feel rewarded and that we shall be able to repay them in full. Everyone should possess a good education, for it is the only means by which anyone can succeed in life. No one can obtain a good education without first attending some sort of a school. It is true that Abraham Lincoln, our sixteenth president, became great without ever attending higher schools; but such advancement in all branches of learning has been made since then that, in order to keep up with the times, it is necessary to have some kind of a foundation upon which to mold future life. Education is not altogether just “hard-boiled” facts. It has its cultural as well as vocational side. High School helps to form the character of its student, teaches him to see the other side of life, to do the right thing in every way, and to develop himself physically as well as mentally. Following the fashion of preceding classes, we chose a motto which was “Be Square,” but attached to it are several other meanings we aimed that it should represent. By “being square” we mean to be true and honest, not only with other people but with ourselves as well. After our four years of learning, we, the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-three, are about the enter the world and have again selected the little motto, “Be Square,” to guide and pilot us, and we feel assured that everyone in the class will do his utmost to let his motto influence him. We may not all become renowned statesmen, presidents, or the like, but if we follow this motto we are bound to be trusted and respected by all who know us. With “Be Square” as a guide and the amount of learning we have obtained, the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-three may look forward to a happy and fruitful future. Bkrtha Boyd, ’23. Twentv-one Since the year of ’23 has drawn to a close and we know that the reward for which we have striven has come, we bequeath as a whole class all the privileges enjoyed while at the W. T. H. S. To the underclassmen w’e wish to give our natural studiousness and uprightness. To the Faculty we give our thanks for the help and advice they have given us.

Nellie McDonald, ’23. ,-t , c CLASS PROPHECY OF 1923 “I wonder where all of our class is now? Remember, we had an even number of girls—twelve, I think, and only three boys!” “Yes, I have an idea! Here in Chicago is a famous Crystal Gazer. Let’s go to see him! I know the street where his studio is, but not his exact address. We can look for it. We’ll ask him about our class. Are you willing?” “Pm ready. Let’s go!” Six years have passed since the class of nineteen hundred twenty-three graduated from Westville Township High School. The classmen are scattered all over. It happens on this particular day that two girls of this same class wonder where their other classmates are and what they are doing. An idea suggested by one of them is being fulfilled. “How can I be of service to you today, young ladies?” asked the noted Crystal Gazer when the girls presented themselves at the studio. Twenty-four “We should like to know about our High School class of nineteen hundred twenty-three.” “Come this way and I’ll do my utmost to be satisfactory. If you will be seated before the crystal so that you can see into it easily, we shall see what we shall see! Pray, whom would you like to see first?” “Mildred Boyd, if you please.” The Crystal Gazer went through a series of mystic motions over the globe. “Hazel, look! I see Mildred. Doesn’t she look happy? Who is that man coming into the room? Why, it’s Buck! What is that squirming around on the floor?” “It is a future football star!” “Whom will you see next?” interrupted the Crystal Gazer. “Anna Bendick.” “Now we aie in a city. What a lovely apartment! Do you see that young lady sitting at the writing desk? That’s Anna. I thought she would be a teacher, sure, but evidently she is not. See that man, a stranger, coming toward her? She hears him, and, looking up, smiles. He looks over her shoulder at what she is doing. Hasn’t he a ‘possessing air’ about him? That means she’s married!” “Who is this woman wearing an apron and sunbonnet? She’s calling someone. Now I see her face. It’s Ruby Le Count, and the man in the chicken yard is Charles Bauser. I always thought there ought to be a wedding, for their names have been linked all through High School.” “Here’s another woman; oh, a nurse. Now, whoever “hath desireth to be a nurse? Faye Hughes! I suppose she chose nursing because the uniform would become her.” “I know this place. It’s Hegeler. Who should still live in Hegeler?” “Why, Czapski, of course!” “Yes. At the Hegeler Zinc Plant! How busy he is. Now he’s leaving. What a ‘peach’ of a car! See that sign. It says Frank is president of the Hegeler Zinc Plant. Now nice!” “I see a woman again. She’s talking before an audience. It must be interesting. Everyone is all attention. I wonder who she is and what her topic is? It’s Grace and there on the wall is the announcement Grace Gilli-son will give a lecture on ‘Evils of Jazz.’ Goodness! Grace is a reformer!” “Here’s another young lady, and she is in a large department store. It’s Lucy Kulekowskis. She’s entering an office. It’s her own. How business-like she is. She must be someone important.” “I wonder where Nellie McDonald is?” “Look, and you’ll see! She’s dancing, not alone, and before an audi- Twentv-five ence. She must be a professional danseuse now.” Here’s also a young lady who means business. What a lovely room! Helen Paciukiewicz! She’s busy writing. Here comes a man. No wonder! Oh! Goodness! It’s Harold Lloyd!” “Circus! ‘Come and see the tallest man in the world!’ That’s what the sign says. What has a circus to do with our class? I see the light! There, under the ‘Big Top’! ‘Fastman,’ Frank Passis, the tallest man in the world! Can you beat that! “Here’s a speed maniac? Now whose talent ran in that direction? He won! If you please, it’s Raymond Lucas. What’s the big idea? A rival of Tommy Milton, the speed king. The magic crystal before them became blank. “Pardon me for interrupting your pleasure, but I have an appointment, and if you call again you may see the remainder of your classmates,” interrupted the Crystal Gazer. “Thank you! Yes, I think we’ll come again. How time flies!” Several days later Petra and Hazel received letters from two classmates whom they had not seen in the crystal, but we learn of their whereabouts from the following conversation between these two classmates. “So Bertha Boyd is taking a course in Domestic Science now. I wouldn’t be surprised if she is preparing for a plunge in matrimony,” remarked Petra. “Yes? And, remember, Blanche Lete always did like to sew and embroider on pretty dainty things? She was always tetter than I in Miss Zika’s sewing class. Well, she’s the owner of a modiste shop now on Fifth Avenue, New York! When we stop in New York we’ll take time to visit her, yes?” “Surely.” As you know by now, the girls who visited the Crystal Gazer were Hazel Harris and Petronella Urasky. These two girls had visited Chicago before they started to tour the United States, stopping to visit friends and relatives of the Harrises in West Virginia, Kentucky and North Carolina. They had been teaching and this trip is the result of a little thrift practiced by them. Petronella Urasky, ’23. Twenty-six Now we open again “The Janus”, For one more look at our class That now has completed its journey, And into the world does pass. Mildred Boyd, our editor-in-chief, Is the beauty of our class. In oratory and scholarship She could not be surpassed. In all our school activities She’s always at the top We wonder we’ve not lost her The fellows that she’s got. Art editor of the “Janus ’, And “Shark” of the Latin Class, That’s how we describe Anna Bendick, A quiet and serious lass. She’s really quite a seamstress, With such a steady way. Ah, a very loving wife She will be some day. Grace Gillison’s our president, She makes her time worth while; She’s gracious as her name implies, And always wears a smile. All through our high school days We gave the hardest jobs to her, Yet she could handle them with ease No matter what they were. We cannot find the words that will Describe to you Faye Hughes; But this we know, when you her see, Your heart you’ll surely lose. The siren’s voice is not more clear. Than hers is when she leads The Westville rooters on to cheer, Our team to noble deeds. Blanche sets the pace for Westville In clothes and ear rings, too. She’s first to try the latest fad. She’s French clear thru and thru. Her eyes so blue and innocent, Give you the feeling that She makes the nicest kind of friend; Yet she can really “spat”. Now this fair maid is Bertha Boyd, A girl with winsome ways. “The teacher’s pet1', her friends declare Because of her high grades. In athletics and everything She aims in pleasing you. That’s maybe the reason why she won Our football captain too. Frank has brown and sparkling eyes, “Such a hit”—the girls all say; His Buick car and dashing ways Make him more popular day by day. In physics and in Chemistry, He surely does delight; But oh! those dreadful English themes He doesn’t like to write. The brunette lassie of our class Is Hazel Harris by name. The way that Andy fell for her Just surely is a shame. She’s head of our athletics club And quite an athlete, too; The way that she can knock that ball Does make the fielder blue . Lucy Kulekowskies’s never idle An industrious maid is she; At school she always keeps at work, From , nine till half-past three. She keeps most awfully quiet, For talk is not her line; Yet when she’s asked a question, She knows 'most every time. Ruby doesn't mind the teasing That she gets all the time; We certainly like to “kid” her For she takes it all so fine. She is a “tip-top” cook Experience taught us thus—-For when we went on camping trips She cooked “the eats” for us. Twenty-seven Ray Lucas spends the day at school, At dances spends the night— You wonder, too, if he can do Them both with all his might? Since truth will out, we must admit The last took most his time; For Ray’s our sheik on dress and girls Is spent his every dime. My gracious! did you hear that scream? What could the matter be? Why it’s none other than Helen Midst a group of boys is she. You Junior boys must let her be And cut out all that racket. “Now you quit” for she’ll tell “Peelie” And “you’re a gonna get it.” If you’re looking for one goodnatured Whom no one else can beat Just take Petronella Urasky For her temper is certainly sweet. We found out her talent this year; Our star of the movies was she; With “W'ild Nell” as her role, She acted most wonderfully. She’s a dainty little butterfly This little maid named Nelle She’s quiet, fair, and has bobbed hair. At dances she’s the belle. That you may see she, too, can work You have not far to look— She managed to get most the ads To help put out our Book. Frank Passis is our athlete Two stripes are on his sweater. Out on the football field was where Our fast man made his letter— Frank says his time’s too precious. To waste it on the girls: But we do blieve it’s shyness That makes him shun the girls. Such is the class of ’23; Just folks you like to meet. You’ll have to go some, Juniors, Our class is hard to beat. Good scholars and good athletes As a whole our class is fine; But don’t tarry here, dear people. There are other things in line. WHEN WE WERE FRESHIES Twenty-eight Twenty-nine HOBBIES M. Boyd— 1.

Wesley Hickman Vice-President .............................Margaret Henderson Secretary and Treasurer ........................... Anna Mellen Class Advisor ................................ Miss Brown This year was more active and interesting because we now entered more into the activities of the High School. In the fall many of our boys practiced football and several were on the first team. In Semi chorus our class was represented by three girls, two boys represented the class in dramatics, one in extempore speaking, the other in declamation. In basketball and track two of our boys took prominent place. Both were members of the relay team and also helped in other ways to win the county track meet of 1921.

This year we excelled all other classes in football, having more players on the team than all other classes combined. Seven Juniors received sweaters for football. The basketball squad of this year consisted of eight men; six Juniors, one Senior, and one Sophomore. At the county meet “Weenies” made the all-county team as guard. In the Edgar county team he again made the all-star team. At the district meet George was honorably mentioned for forward, but did not succeed in making the team. “Weenies” made the second team. Five boys received medals as a result of winning third place at the Christman tournament. Again five Junior boys received medals, in the form of a watch fob, for services rendered to Westville ball team of 1923.

Miss Elder Thirty-four HISTORY OF CLASS ’25 Until last September we, the class of ’25, had the honor of being the largest class ever enrolled in Westville Township High School. Our Freshman year was not very promising and our first few attempts to enter social life were not so satisfactory. Since then we have taken great strides forward, and in our Sophomore year we made our social affairs successes. During the first semester we held a “weenie” roast to which the freshmen also went. The roast was held in Snook’s woods and everybody, both students and chaperons, reported a fine time. The second semester we held a Valentine’s party at the high school The first part of the evening we played games which included relay races. These were followed by refreshments served in the lower hall. It was prettily decorated in the class colors. A novel place card arrangement was used, each guest’s initials being monogrammed on his napkin with little red hearts. After the refreshments we spent the rest of the evening dancing and playing games. A St. Patrick’s Day party was also planned, but, owing to the death of Mr. Somers, was indefinitely postponed. The girls, as well as the boys, have made a good record this year, as they won the pennant given for first place in the Volley Ball Tournament. In Athletics, too, we were well represented, having three boys on the football team, one on the basketball team and two on the track team. Sufficient praise was given our scholarship, when Mr. Collins, our principal, publicly announced that we were the most studious class in school. Rosa Slazas, ’25.

Thirty-six September 5, 1922, we entered what we considered the most wonderful building in the County, W. T. H. S. The first day of school the following officers were elected: President .................................Andrew Appanaitis Vice-President ................................. Louis Barnas Secretary and Treasurer ....................... Helen Anderson Advisor ...................................................Mrs. Grubb Colors.....................................Old Rose and White The Freshman class has been well represented in both athletic and social activities. Andrew Appanaitis, president of the class, played right end on the football team. Mike Uporski and Walter Jaaworski earned positions on the second team. Andrew also represented us on the first basketball team. Charles Razatis and Tony Vianauskas made the second team and were often allowed to substitute for members of the first team. Gertrude Richardson was elected captain of the Freshman basketball team. The other members were Jennie Mazekis, Julia Urasky, Helen Anderson, Johanna Possolt. Katherine Sherksnes and Ellen Simroski. The freshmen won the Basketball Ticket Contest and will celebrate their half holiday in the near future. Our big social event of the year was the St. Patrick’s party. —Andrew Appanaitis, ’26. Thirty-seven I) R A M A TI C S On the evening of December fifteenth we were entertained by the second annual High Schoool Carnival in the High School Building. At this time there were presented two plays and several other amusements under the auspices of Miss Velda Elder and Miss Carrie Dependahl. The first, a minstrel show, included a clever Coontown wedding. The costumes worn by the cast were unique and conspicuous. It was the first attempt made at any such novelty in our school recently, and was very favorably received. The stage was converted into Coontown Hall by dazzling colors which blended very beautifully. The members of the cast quite lost themselves in their portrayal of the various roles.

One of the side shows given under the auspices of Miss Mildred Fleming, entitled “Wild Nell,” was quite an important feature during the evening and was highly appreciated. It was given in a movie picture form and Miss Petronella Urasky, otherwise “Wild Nell,” was the heroine. The piano accompanist was Mildred Gladkowski.

The following officers were elected for the school year 1922-23: President.................................... Mildred Boyd Vice-President ............................... Tony Balser Secretary and Treasurer Max Darkin Program Committee Faye Hughes Frank Czapski Ruby LeCount Mildred Boyd Sergeants-at-Arms Tony Balser Ray Lucas Constitutiton Committee Faye Hughes Ed Delaney Meetings are held every two weeks, being alternately open and closed meetings. The opening meetings are held in the assembly before the public. The closed meetings serve the purpose of smaller practice sessions. At the first closed meeting the Constitutional Committee presented the Constitution, which was adopted unanimously by the vote of the entire society. This Constitution gives us a definite working scheme for choosing officers, determining their duties, and the order in which the meetings shall be conducted, etc. The majority of the members of this society have taken part in the programs, which included reading, declamations, plays, musical reading, extemporaneous speeches, and piano solos. Each member must take part in at least one of the programs given during the school year. Several unusual features have been included in the program, among them being the Chinese chimes, a plnv without words, and a pumpkin dance, all of which were very much enjoyed by the audience. The experience which we have gained this year will enable us in the future to keep up the name we have made for ourselves in the literary and dramatic field. Forty-one I. B. I.

B. I LITERARY SOCIETY The I. B. I. (Ink Bottle Imps) Literary Society was organized in 1921. On September 23, 1922, a meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers for 1922-23. The following officers were elected : President...................................Grace Gillison Vice-President Wesley Hickman Secretary and Treasurer Bertha Boyd Advisor.............................................Miss Dependahl Program Committee Hazel Harris Margaret Henderson Petronella Urasky Nellie McDonald This year the society voted to hold open and closed meetings at alternate times. At the open meeting a program was to be given at which the other Literary society was invited. These meetings were held in the Assembly Hall. At closed meetings only the members of the society were present. For the closed meetings the mathematics room and the assembly were used. The I. B. I.’s held their first closed meeting in the Assembly on October 14. Since this was the anniversary of James Whitcomb Riley’s birthday, the society gave a program of his best known works. The readings from his works were illustrated by still-life pictures. On October 28 the I. B. I.’s gave the first opening meeting in the Assembly Hall and invited the Philo’s. This program marked the close of “Better Speech Week” in the High School and the numbers of the program were of that nature. Most of that program consisted of original work done by the members of the society. Among other numbers was that in which the three witches prophesied what would happen to certain Westville students if they persisted in using bad English. On November 11 the second closed meeting of the I. B. I.’s was held in the mathematics room. The society attended the open meeting of the Philo’s in the Assembly the last week of November. The first society meeting in December was cancelled because of carnival preparations. Just before the Christmas holidays the two societies engaged in a basketball game in which the I. B. I.’s were defeated. After the mid-year holidays, the interest in the society waned considerably. Forty-three WESTVILLE HIGH STAFF Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor Boys’ Athletics ....

They put out seven issues, the last number being especially good. The Junior Class took the paper over last fall because it had been agreed that it should be run by the Juniors. A staff was elected and set to work under the supervision of Mr. Sutherd. Our first three issues were of the usual 8xl2-inch size. Although Mr. Sutherd was football coach and taught school, he found time to put out the newspaper. Because we were inexperienced and green, Mr. Sutherd had much of the work to do himself. Without his aid no doubt this paper would have failed. Since he was so busy and the staff inadequate, the staff was reorganized. Class repoiters were put in and changes made among the old members. Miss Dependahl was appointed as literary advisor, and Mr. File financial advisor, while Mrs. Grubb had charge of the typing. Under the new management we put out a 15x11-inch page paper. Some people do not realize the work that has been done in putting out a paper, so I am going to show you what it is like. First the news must be collected and written up by the reporters along with special articles and editorials. After that the articles are corrected by Miss Dependahl, then turned over to Mrs. Grubb, who has them typed. Then a dummy of the paper is made up by the advisors and certain members of the staff. This dummy is taken to the printers’ and a proof copy is made. This copy is then corrected by one of the advisors. After all this the final printing is made. Usually in anything there are a few who do all the work and a few who sit back and watch, but our staff has never been guilty of such a thing. In our February number we started a contest to ascertain the prettiest girl, the most popular girl, the best athlete, and the best all-around fellow in school. When this went to press the winners had not yet been ascertained. Our March number we made a special Memorial number for Mr. Somers. This was a six-page number. A popularity contest was also started in the April number. Our last number, the Commencement number, we intend to make one which will be unsurpassable. May the people who take this newspaper over next fall make a better success of it than we have. Our underclassmen who are on the staff now will have received some training so that they will be more fitted for the job than we were when we went in. Wesley Hickman, '24. Forty-five September 15. The Seniors started the social season with a “weiner” roast. The Juniors were invited and showed great ability in getting together numerous logs for starting the fire. They were chaperoned by the teachers. September 27. The Freshmen and Sophomores followed suit by giving a “weiner” roast. Miss Elder and Mrs. Grubb accompanied them. September 30. The Juniors gave a party in honor of the Seniors. It was held in the Assembly Hall. At an early hour dancing was started, games following. Wesley Hickman introduced some very good stunts during the course of the evening. At ten o’clock a nice supper was served in a new and surprising manner. October l. Nellie McDowell invited the Senior class to go down Little Vermillion Mine on a sight-seeing trip. They enjoyed a walk up the air-shaft. October 6. Mr. Somers and Mr. Haworth of the First National Bank offered the use of the Red Man’s Camp near Jenkins Ford to the Senior girls. Preparations were immediately set afoot for the great trip. Every girl wore a middy and bloomers and went well equipped with “eats. They started from the High School Friday evening after school and stayed until Saturday afternoon, coming back in time for the Newman game. Although the weather was bad and there were many mysterious sounds, the girls appeared to have enjoyed themselves immensely. November 4. Hallowe’en was celebrated at the W. T. H. S. by an all school party. Everyone kept the festive holiday spirit by masking. Mildred Glad-kowski and Rosa Slazas won the prizes for the best costumes. They were dressed as Mexican man and wife. “Eats” were served, consisting of popcorn, apples, doughnuts and cider. Dancing was held in the Assembly, while games were played in the gym. November 11. The Juniors and Seniors gave a taffy pull in the Domestic Science room. The party broke up early and all went to the Orpheum Theater. Forty-six November 13. The Juniors were awarded a half-day holiday for selling the most football tickets during the season. They spent the afternoon hiking with Miss Elder. November 20. The Second Annual Football Banquet was given by the Home Economics Department of the W. T. H. S. in honor of the Westville High School foootball team. February 3. The Sophomores “stepped out” by giving a Valentine party. All of the faculty were invited and of those who responded were Misses Elder, Dependahl, Farmer and Fleming and Mr. and Mrs. File. The radio served as a great inducement to get the boys out on the floor to take their first dancing lessons. The dining room was in keeping with the holiday, being decorated with valentines and hearts. Refreshments of ice cream, cake, candy and punch were served. The party was a decided success and the Sophomores were very well pleased with their first social event. February 13. The third and fourth hour cooking classes gave a party for the teachers, the new Freshman girls and the first and second hour cooking classes. The invitations were red hearts on which was the following verse: “Day by day, in every way, Cupid bids you come and stay. Where? Dining room. When? February 13, 1923. Time, 3:30 P. M.” White tissue paper streamers were hung from the lights. Red hearts decorated the table cloth. Heart-shaped cookies, ham sandwiches and ice cream were served. Miss Farmer introduced some new games, and, on the whole, the party was a pronounced success. February 10. The Seniors delighted the Juniors by giving a party in their honor. The chief diversion of the evening was dancing by radio music. Paper hats of the Senior class colors worn by everyone made the scene very gay. Refreshments consisted of ice cream and cake were served at ten o’clock. The boys proved of great assistance in helping to wash the dishes. March 23. The Freshmen celebrated St. Patrick’s Day rather gaily by having a party. The evening started very successfully by having games in the Assembly. Refreshments were served in a very pretty manner in keeping with the day. There were green frosted cakes and ice cream decorated with shamrocks. Even- one wore an enormous bow of green. Forty-seven SCIENCE DEPARTMENT PHYSICS Owing to the size of the classes, a new policy was adopted this year whereby physics and chemistry would be taught every other year. Physics was taught this year and chemistry will be taught next year. The physics class was composed of twelve upper classmen, all of whom showed unusual interest in the work. During the study of electricity two periods each week were set aside for the students to do research work in the electrical laboratory. Each one was given the liberty to make up his own experiment and carry it out with the aid of the laboratory equipment. Further additions were made to the laboratory and lecture equipment the past year and by the addition of a few more pieces of apparatus, our laboratory will be one of the best and most complete in the state. ZOOLOGY The enrolling of the zoology class showed a decided increase over the preceding year, as there were twenty-four in the class as compared to seven of last year. At the beginning of the course every one made a collection of twenty or more insects, which were classified and analyzed. Many interesting specimens were found. Field trips were also taken and special emphasis was placed upon the habitat and home life of various insects, crustaceans, birds and other animals. In the laboratory dissections were made of various specimens, some of which were the earthworm, frog, fish, pigeon and rabbit. BOTANY Botany was taught the second semester and our class was composed of twelve juniors and sophomores. Two double laboratory periods were held each week and some field trips were taken near the end of the course in order to become familiarized with the growing plants of the various families. A herbarium which composed of at least twenty of the common flowers was also collected and assembled by each member of the class. PHYSIOLOGY Two classes of physiology were taught the first semester, one by Mr. File and the other by Mr. Sutherd. Each class was very large, but nevertheless were very attentive. Special emphasis was placed upon the proper care and nourishment of the body. PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY Two large freshman classes were enrolled in physical geography the second semester. Rocks, minerals, soils, groundwater, rivers, lakes, oceans, seasons, etc., were some of the interesting topics of study in this course. The class work was also accompanied with suitable laboratory exercises and field trips. Forty-nine W. D. O. Amelia Orlea. Mary Lietard, Hazel Harris, Fern Hughes, Petronella Urasky, Susie Simon, Mary Kelly, Miss Farmer, Helen Bagdonis, Ethel Stevens, Faye Hughes, Mildred Boyd, Ruby LeCourt, Bertha Boyd, Anna Mellen, Stella Redulis, Mildred Hensley, Josephine Oldani. The spirit of music is being revived in W. T. H. S. The coming of the “new” freshmen demanded a “new” teacher. By combining the teaching of music with the other work of the added teacher, the opportunity was thus given to further develop the interest in music found among the students. During the first week of the second semester all girls interested in Semi-Chorus were asked to meet in the Music Room. Thirty-four responded and of this group sixteen were selected as the chorus for the district and county contests. At an early meeting of the chorus, it was decided to present a cantata. The one selected. “Near to Nature’s Heart,” is dainty and melodious, with a good opportunity for chorus, duet and solo work. A name was also selected-for the chorus, the “W. D. O.’s,” and even though our friends do not know the meaning of the name, they will enjoy, we hope, the work of our organization. In addition to the cantata and contest work, the W. D. O.’s plan to present a school program and assist in commencement programs. Fifty Although the one Music class is small this year, an attempt is being made to arouse and develop interest for larger music classes next year. A live orchestra is one of the big goals for next year, with class room instruction in the different instruments. A regular chorus class for all students interested in singing, with one unit of credit for the year, is another plan. A daily class in “History of Music and Harmony” to develop the theoretical side of music will also be a part of the program. Each of these subjects will receive the regular two credits per year. May the work to develop and improve a better interest and understanding for music continue in W. T. H. S. until the Music Department will become well known in our surrounding community. THE LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT This year the Language department offered a two-year course in Latin, in addition to the two-year course in French, which has formerly comprised a requirement in the curriculum. The text-book used for the elementary work in Latin was D’Ooge’s “Elements of Latin.” The principles of Latin grammar and its correlation with English grammar, sentence structure and translation formed the basis for the course. The second semester word derivation was taken up and derivation note books were kept in which the student placed either English derivatives, illustrative sentences or definitions. Outside work consisting of reports on Roman life and customs, stories from Roman and Greek mythology or descriptions of Roman art and architecture helped to make the pupils realize the importance of ancient language study. The work in French this year was planned for second year pupils, there being no beginning class. The course included a continuation of grammar, sight and prepared translation and French conversation. For the grammar work, Carnahan’s “Short French Review Grammar” was used. During the first semester three days a week were spent upon grammar and during the second two days a week. A part of these class periods was also given over to conversation. A book of short stories, Buffum’s “French Short Stories,” was translated during the first semester, the most representative stories being used for class work and the others translated outside of class and reported upon orally. The second semester “Fifteen French Plays,” by Francois, was used, together with a longer play, “Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon,” by Labiche and Martin. From the “Fifteen French Plays” one play was chosen by each class to be presented before the Assembly. “Le Petit Journal,” a little French newspaper, together with reports on French life and customs, brought to class each week by the pupils, afforded an opportunity to the members of the classes to understand and appreciate the people whose language they were studying. Fifty-one TYPEWRITING BOOKKEEPING Fifty-two COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The subjects offered in the Commercial Course this year include shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping, commercial law, commercial geography, commercial arithmetic, business English and spelling. The bookkeeping classes were not very large, as some of the class started late. Great interest, however, was shown and those starting late worked hard to catch up with the rest of the class. The “20th Century Hookkeeping and Accounting” set was used. This department is equipped with a large Burroughs adding machine, so that the students also learn to operate this, along with their bookkeeping. The students received special instructions from the Burroughs expert on how to operate this machine, learning how to multiply as well as add. Two years of bookkeeping are offered, but students finishing the first year should be able to keep a set of books efficiently. The beginning class in shorthand was much larger than last year. Great interest was shown in the Remington typewriter monthly contests, also in the daily transcription contests. The advanced class, though small in number, acquired a rapid speed in shorthand and typewriting. The requirements for the first year’s work are 60 words dictation, 25 words transcription, and 35 words per minute in the typing copy work. For the second year 100 words are required in dictation, 35 words in transcription and 60 words typing copy work. HISTORY DEPARTMENT Two courses in history were offered this year, American history and Ancient. The American history class was unusually large, consisting of Juniors and Seniors. Considerable outside supplementary work was done, especially on biographies. The Ancient history section consisted largely of Sophomores, which always means an interesting class. We used West’s “Ancient World” and Davis’ “Reading.” One feature of this class was a dramatic interpretation of some of the Greek stories acted out by members cf the class. The conversation between Socrates and his wife, Zanthippe, was especially interesting. MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT Two years’ work is offered in the Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing Departments. The two departments work together very nicely. Practically all the Freshmen boys are taking the work, and from the way they keep the machinery humming one can tell they are interested. Fifty-three COOKING SERVING Fifty-four HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT The W. T. H. S. offers a three-year course in home economics. During the first year the girls take their work in foods, which includes a semester of practical cookery, followed by a semester of marketing, planning and serving meals. It is possible to have a high school cafeteria during part of the cold weather, because, under the Smith-Hughes plan, the first eight weeks of the second semester are devoted to quantity cookery. This teaches girls to prepare foods in about the same quantities that they use at home. Much practical cookery is taught during this time. The last half of the second semester is devoted to meal serving, when breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are prepared, with special emphasis on the food value and cost of these meals. The clothing course, which the girls are advised to take in their Sophomore year, teaches them how to make garments and how to buy clothes and materials for clothing economically. The girls gain a general knowledge about linen, cotton, silk, and wool. A short course in millinery completes the clothing work. In their Junior or Senior year the girls should take household management, home nursing and dietetics, and invalid cookery in order that they may obtain complete knowledge on the subject of making a home attractive for a small sum of money, and managing a home in such a way that it offers the best conditions for health and personal advancement. Every day the world, through its magazines and newspapers, realizes that since the health and education of the child begins at home it is necessary to have the home ready to give each child the best possible living conditions for the available money. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Since a four-year English course is a part of every high school curriculum and the university requirements are followed everywhere, nothing unusual or out of the ordinary happens year after year. Though the Senior English work is an elective course, thirteen of the seventeen Seniors enrolled the first semester. This year “Three Centuries of Prose and Poetry” by Newcomer-Andrews is the class text-book, while Halleck’s “History of American Literature” is used as a reference book. In this way the students get a chance to read more of the writings of the authors and less of their lives. Most high schools are adopting this plan, and thus the emphasis is shifted from the lives to the works of our writers. Fifty-five In the Junior year during the first semester much time was put on oral and written composition. The Literary Digest was used as the source for much of the work. During the second semester Pace’s “History of English Literature with Readings” was used. In the Sophomore class the composition work and Literature was alternated by semesters also. The Sophomore class was responsible for the “Better Speech” Parade in the Assembly during “Better Speech Week.” At the time of their study of Silas Marner, they made up very clever editions of The Raveloe News,” “Raveloe Gazette,” and so on. During the second semester they planned and gave a literary program every other week as part of their oral English work. Otherwise the second semester work consisted of work in sentence construction, paragraphing building, and story writing. Because of the number of Freshmen, this class was divided into an “A” and “B” section. The tw’o sections have been rivals in several contests during the semester. When the two classes were reading “Treasure Island,” a graph of the progress of each class was made and charted each day and thus they knew’ of one anothers progress. The Freshmen have also showm themselves very good in drawing and in composing poetry. One of the English classes has adopted a system whereby all the grammatical errors made by the class members are checked up, and the offenders are required to pay one cent for every three mistakes. The proceeds thus obtained are to be used to buy a book or books. The Freshmen composition text is Hitchcock’s “Composition and Rhetoric Book.” Instead of getting several classics as the other classes did, they are using “Literature and Life” Book I by Greenlaw’-Elson-Keck. This book, which is made up of a collection of all the required classics for Freshmen besides enough w’ork for outside reading, is arranged very interestingly and attractively. Writh out doubt all the Freshmen have a book that will mean very much to them. The “Literature and Life” Literature Books are a series published by Scott. Foreman and Company. Books I and II were published in 1922, but Books III and IV are not published as yet. THE MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Algebra, both first and second year courses, and plane geometry have been given this year. First year algebra is required of all Freshmen and plane geometry of all Sophomores, while second year algebra is elective for Juniors and Seniors. Fifty-six MANUAL TRAINING It has been the aim of the department to present the required work in as interesting and simple a manner as possible and at the same time to maintain a high standard of accuracy. Interest in the work in algebra was greatly stimulated during the first semester by contests between the three sections. In geometry, particular attention has been given to the development of the power of reasoning logically, of analyzing situations as represented by geometrical problems thoroughly and stating them accurately. This ability we believe is valuable to every student, whether or not he enters a field of activity where mathematical knowledge is essential. The advanced algebra class was small. As a result every pupil was able to progress as rapidly as possible, with individual instruction when necessary. Consequently every pupil covered a much greater amount of work than is ordinarily possible. Next year we hope to add to these courses one in solid geometry, which will give the pupil who has some mathematical ability an insight into more advanced fields.

Westville High experienced another successful season under Mr. Sutherd’s able coaching. Though we did not score so heavily nor win the county championship as last year, we won five out of seven games. At the start of the season we had only four regulars, and the second string men were light, but Mr. Sutherd was determined to make a team. About thirty turned out for practice the first week; but they dropped off until during the middle of the season, there were not even enough out for two teams. The team will lose only one man by graduation, so we are assured of another good team for 1923. Tony Balser was elected captain of next year’s squad. SIDELL vs. WESTVILLE This game showed up our weak points, chief of which was fumbling. Sidell worked several short passes, the only way they could gain a yard. Score: Westville, 33; Sidell, 0. NEWMAN vs. WESTVILLE On October 7 Newrman came here w’ith a heavy team expecting to clean up on us, but was defeated, 39—0. “Weenies” made the first touchdown by returning a punt over 70 yards through a broken field. MILFORD vs. WESTVILLE October 14 Milford brought another heavy team here, but by playing a much better brand of football we won, 57—0. HOOPESTON vs. WESTVILLE Next Saturday we went to Hoopeston for our first game away from home. They got the jump on us and made the first touchdow'n in the first five minutes of play. We made the next one in about the same time. We w’ere nearly equally matched, so the score went see-saw fashion through the game. However, we had the better backfield, and won, 26-20. George Redulis got his shoulder hurt in this game. GEORGETOWN vs. WESTVILLE We lost our first game of the season to our old enemy at Georgetown October 28. The score at the end of the half was 14—12 in their favor. It seemed as if it would be another see-saw game, but Georgetown, having Sixty-two by far the heavier team, won. 34—12. This game decided the Vermilion County Championship. We hope to even up scores next year. OAKLAND vs. WESTV1LLE Oakland came here November 4 expecting a runaway because of our defeat the previous game. At the end of the half the score was 12—0 in our favor. In the last half they made three touchdowns on fake end around plays, but had to fight to hold that score down, for we had the ball on their 20-yard line on the way for a touchdowm when the whistle blew. Jackey Sneyd was out of the game with a bruised shoulder. Had he been well it might have been a different story, because we missed his punting. Steff Myers and George Redulis were also out because of injuries. Score— Oakland, 19; Westville, 12. RIDGEFARM vs. WESTVILLE On Armistice Day wre went to Ridgefarm and won our last game of the season, 28—7. They made their lone touchdown by returning the kickoff to our 10-yard line and they put it over. Tony, aided by Maxie’s wonderful interference, caught a punt and ran 85 yards through a broken field for a touchdown.

SUTHERD—“Fuzzy” Mr. Sutherd has been with us two seasons, and during this time has put Westville on the map, so far as athletics are concerned. He is by far the best coach in this part of the state. We hope he comes back next year. CAPTAIN JOHN SAVICKY—“Snub” “Snub,” center, is a heady, consistent player, a stonewall on defense, and an able leader. He weighs 145 pounds. GEORGE REDULIS—“Bolshie” “Bolshie,” left end, weighs but 130 pounds, is small, but a sure tackier. He receives passes well and can “bust” any interference. Sixty-four MAX DARKIN—“Maxie” “Maxie” plays quarter and full. He is very brainy in piloting a team, cool and dependable and forms perfect interference. He weighs 152 pounds. An All-County selection. JACK SNEYD—“Jackie” “Jackie,” full back, is the best punter in the county, and is also very good at throwing and receiving passes. He carries the ball well and will be valuable for next year. He weighs 146. An All-County selection. FRANK PASSIS—“Fast Man” “Fast Man,” right tackle, is the only man lost next year. Passis is a player who plugs along throughout the game without showing any especial brilliancy, but is one of the most valuable players for his consistency. He weighs 150 pounds. TONY BALSER—“Weenies” (Captain-elect) “Weenies” plays halfback and is very fast. He hits the line low and hard. During the past season he has made three 60-yard runs for touchdowns. This demonstrates his open field ability. He weighs 136 pounds and is Red Hughes’ selection for All-County half. Sixty-five JOHN HISSONG—“Baker” Baker, end and center, is very fast and quick at charging, an excellent defensive man and weighs 135 pounds. CHARLES SIMPSON—“Todd” Todd, left tackle, is a brother of the famous “Red” Simpson. Todd charges hard and is fighting all the time. He is good on opening holes and weighs 157 pounds. ELDWINE JONES—“Shannon” Shannon, although a substitute end and half, is a hard and sure tackier and receives passes well. He will make a valuable man next year. He weighs only 142 pounds. PAUL SOMERS—“Kink” “Kink” is a guard and is a “mean” charger. He is fighting all the time and is one of the most dependable players on the entire squad. He weighs 145 pounds. Sixty-six EDWARD DELANEY—“Sally” “Sally,” substitute quarterback, is a very brainy player and an excellent man for any team to have. He carries and passes the ball well and is one of the smallest on the squad. He weighs only 130 pounds. STEVE MYERS—“Bright Eyes” “Bright Eyes,” right half back is another first year man. He is very shifty, a good ground gainer, and can be depended upon to do his best at all times. He weighs 138 pounds and another year should see him at his best. ANDREW APPANAITIS—“Andy” “Andy,” right end, is a first year man. He is a good punter, hard worker and a consistent player. He weighs 162 pounds and another year will see him as good a player as his brother was two years ago. ALBERT SEDLAK—“Al” “Al,” guard, is strongest on defense and can always be relied upon to make his share of the tackles. He weighs 148 pounds and is a fighter all the way through. Sixty-seven BASKET BALL 1922-23 Last June six of the eight first string basketball men were graduated, leaving two old men and a few subs from which Coach Sutherd had to develop a team. He worked almost day and night trying to round them into shape for the early season games. Despite this, the team lost four of the first five games. Tuesday night, January 30, they went up to Armstrong, and. with John Sneyd substituting at center for Todd Simpson, defeated Armstrong, 11—10, in the roughest and most spectacular game ever seen on that floor. Three five-minute overtime periods were played before the game could be decided. With the losing streak broken, the team played real basketball, winning ten of the remaining thirteen games on the schedule. Westville played in three tournaments during the season, and made a wonderful showing in each. Vermillion County Tournament, February 8, 9, 10 Westville met Georgetown in their first game, and, after a real battle, defeated them, 20—12. This was the first big surprise of the tournament. No one gave us the slightest chance to win. That night Potomac was sent home on the short end of a 24—21 score. Saturday afternoon we met Alvin, although considered the “dark hcrse” in the tournament, we won our way into the finals by defeating them 25—16. Captain Call, their star forward, who had made nine and ten baskets, respectively, in Alvin’s first two games, was so effectively guarded by Steff Myers that he was very glad to take one lone field goal for his share. Henning defeated us in the finals, 20—12. This was a much better game than the score indicates, as the score was eight all at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Jones, our running guard, was taken out on four personals at that time, and our defense was broken. Tony Balser was chosen as a guard on the “All County Team.” Captain Darkin made the second team. Chrisman Invitation Tournament February 15, 17 Westville won third place in the Chrisman Tournament and learned a lot of basketball. WTe defeated Newman in our first game, 18—13, after a rally in the third quarter. George Redulis, playing his first game as a regular on the team, was largely responsible for our victory. Chrisman defeated us 20—9 in the semi-finals in a very ragged game. Sixty-nine That night Westville came back and showed the first basketball they had displayed in the tournament, winning third place and the bronze medals from Hume, 41—20. Thirty-four points in the last half on a floor like Chrisman’s isn’t so bad. Due to their work in the final game, Captain Darkin made a forward, and Balser a guard on the “All-Star Team.” Todd Simpson made center on the second team. District Tournament, March 1, 2, 3 Westville won its first game by defeating Rankin, 14—6, in a game featured by the poor basket shooting of the Westville team. Our next game, the Alvin game, was the best and most spectacular contest of the tournament. Three five-minute overtime periods were played before Westville could convince Alvin who had the better team. We won the Alvin game, but the overtime periods and the injury to Balser burned us out, and Hoopeston defeated us in the semi-finals, 15—8. Tony Balser was chosen a guard on the second team. Captain Darkin, Redulis and Myers all received special mention. During the four games Westville played in this tournament, eleven field baskets were scored against them. That shows they had a powerful and effective defense. Coach Sutherd worked hard to perfect the system that placed us up with the leaders in all the tournaments. Too much credit can not be given our coach for turning out such a good team. Captain Darkin will be the only man lost to the next year’s team. His loss will be keenly felt, as he was one of the best forwards in the county. Line-Up for 1923 Right Forward ..............................Max Darkin, Capt.

The fellows all had their good and bad days. Due to the fact they could never get all their good days together, we were unable to win any meet in wdiich we were entered. Cecil Simpson was our big point getter, even though he did not display his 1921 form. Cecil broke his own record of 112 feet 10 inches at Paris by hurling the discus 117 feet and 10' 2 inches. He also broke the county record of 109 feet, made by Webber of Hoopeston in 1911. The new record is 113 feet ll 2 inches. Fred Dudley, the star high jumper and hurdler of 1921, didn’t get back to his usual form until the county meet. He did not place in the high jump, but tied the county record of 27 seconds in the hurdles. That record had been standing since 1901. Seventy-one Algerd Appanaitis proved to be the real find of the season. He ran the first race of his life at Paris, and broke the record in the half mile, making the record time of 2:0' . The next Saturday he went to Charleston and won the half from a large number of contestants. Algy finished second in the County meet, being defeated by Macklin of Georgetown, who set too fast a pace. Algy won fourth place in the State meet at Urbana. Seventy-two Joe Carp won second place in the hammer throw at Paris and Charleston. Joe had the distinction of winning fourth place in Stagg’s meet at Chicago, the only Westville athlete that holds such an honor. Charles Simpson won third place in the quarter at Paris and third place in the 220 in the County meet. We are expecting quite a lot from him this year. Tony Balser was a member of our winning relay team. The other members were Fred Dudley, Cecil and Charles Simpson. They not only won the County relay, but tied the old record of 1 minute 39 seconds.

T. H. S. Boosters’ Club. The club now has a membership of almost one hundred men. Roy Starks was chosen President and Fred Sneyd Secretary and Treasurer. The club had several definite purposes in mind, and we. on the outside, have seen them worked out. In all athletic contests the best of officials were demanded. That assured clean sportsmanship at home as well as away. The same things were brought to bear in other scholastic affairs. Cooperating with Miss Zika, head of the Home Economics Department of the W. T. H. S., the Boosters’ Club gave a football banquet at the end of the season in honor of the team and Coach Sutherd. Mr. G. R. Collins was toastmaster, the board was represented by Dr. B. Taylor, the town by A. L. Somers, the team by John Savic-k.v, and the coach by C. E. Sutherd. The Booster Club presented Mr. Sutherd with a handsome gold watch as an appreciation of his devotion to the team. We are for the Boosters’ Club and want them to know it. Seventy-four GYMNASIUM CLASS ROOTERS CLUB GIRLS' ATHLETICS This year, for the first time, a course in Girls’ gymnasium work was introduced into the curriculum. The class met twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday the first semester and on Wednesday and Friday the second semester. During the first semester every girl in High School was required to take it. A regulation outfit consisting of black bloomers, white middy, black tie, black shoes and stockings was the dress required for class work. At the beginning of the second semester the requirement of Juniors and Seniors was dropped. Those girls in the upper classes who wished to take being permitted to choose it as an elective. This was made necessary by the increase in the class due to the entrance of new Freshmen. As soon as the class was reorganized, an election of officers for a Girls’ Athletic Association was held. The following officers were elected: Hazel Harris........................................President Rosa Slazas ...................................Vice-President Mary Lietard .........................Secretary and Treasurer It was decided that the girls should receive some recognition for their work in the gymnasium class. Pennants, therefore, are to be given to the class teams winning the volley ball, basket ball and baseball tournaments and letters to the winners of the tennis championship. These are to be presented to the winners at the close of the May Fete program by the president of the Girls’ Athletic Association. BASEBALL Owing to a delay in the delivery of the lockers, classes did not meet until the first week in October. The first game taken up was outdoor baseball, for which the girls were divided into teams according to their class standing. As the Sophomore and Freshman classes were very large, they were divided into two teams each. Games were then played between the six teams, the arrangement being changed each class period in order that they might receive as much training as possible for the tournaments. However, as the class was late in starting, cold weather came before the tournaments could be commenced, and it was necessary to postpone them until spring. VOLLEY BALL Volley ball was the first indoor game the girls were taught. At first the floor was divided into two sections and the girls were again placed in teams according to their class standing. As soon, however, as they had learned how to serve the ball and knew most of the rules, the entire class was divided into two sections and they were permitted to play over the entire floor. The volley ball tournament took place as soon as school reopened for the second semester. The teams were so arranged that each team played Seventy-six SOPHOMORE VOLLEY BALL INTERCLASS CHAMPS every other team, the following schedule being carried out: T—Freshmen vs..................Freshmen First Series 2— Seniors 3— Sophomores vs....... 4— Juniors Sophomores Second Series Third Series {1—Freshmen vs...... 4—Juniors 3—Sophomores vs...... 1—Seniors fl—Juniors vs. ... L2—Seniors f3—Freshmen (4—Sophomores Freshmen Sophomores Juniors Sophomores Seventy-seven VOLLEY BALL From the beginning the games were hard fought, but after the first series had been played, it was evident that the winner of the tournament would be either the Freshmen or Sophomore class. The third series, as the places in the tournament were decided by these games, was by far the most exciting and the hardest fought. The Juniors, due to the remarkable serving of one of their players, defeated the Seniors, and the Sophomores, due to the careful return of the ball after each Freshmen serve, defeated the Freshmen. The Sophomores being undefeated, received first place, the Freshmen with one defeat second, the Juniors third, and the Seniors fourth. BASKETBALL The basketball season began the first of February and closed with the tournaments held the third week in March. The following schedule was played off during the tournaments: Freshmen vs. Juniors and Seniors, won by Juniors and Seniors. Juniors and Seniors vs. Sophomores, won by Juniors and Seniors. The game between the freshmen and the upper classmen was exciting from first to last, but the Freshmen were unable to find the basket the first half, permitting their opponents to get a lead they could not reach by their fast and steadier playing the second half. Both teams entered the final game with a handicap, one of the Senior forwards and two of the Sephomore forwards being unable to play. In spite of their heavier handicap the Sophomores put up a good fight, and the game ended with a score of 11—10 in favor of the Junior-Senior team. This game gave the Junior-Senior team the first place in the tournament for which the pennant will be presented in the spring. THE MAY FETE In order that the patrons of the school may have an opportunity to see some of the things the girls do in the gymnasium classes, an entertainment in the form of a May Fete is being planned. The program will begin with a march and song by the Senior class, wearing their caps and gowns, followed by group dances. The presentation of the pennants to the winners of the Girls’ Athletic Tournaments will take place at the close of the dances. The program will close with Maypole dances around poles decorated with class colors. The Senior pole will hold the central position as the May Queen is to be selected from that class.
