It enables him to be within reach if someone happens to call after school hours. It was built in 1925 under the contract of Spang and Wherry, Westville. The architect was Mr. Harvey Skadden of Danville. Westville was one of the first schools in Illinois to construct a principal's home next to the school. It is now the plan of the majority of high schools in Illinois. Mr. Thomas, who has M.A., B.S., A.B., and M.S. degrees, has been with us for twelve years. During his first eight years he taught in the science department; the other four he has been principal and also helping in the science department. Our school has progressed a great deal since he has been principal. This is due to his cooperation with the faculty, school board, and students. Before coming to Westville High School, Mr. Thomas taught at Rantoul, Kansas: Whit Fall, Indiana; Newman, and Arthur, Illinois. Mr. Thomas is President of Vermilion County Athletic Association, and was President of the Vermilion County Principals' Association last year. Mr. Thomas is a graduate of the University of Indiana. He attended Indiana Medical School, Rush Medical School, University of Illinois, and University of Chicago. His M.A. degree is in education and has been earned at the University of Illinois. Mr. Thomas is a cooperating, well-liked principal who has made Westville High School better known within the realm of Illinois high schools. Paye four SCHOOL BOARD The Westviiie High School Board, composed of men who serve without pay. are to be praised for their good work. Their aim is to better the school and make its standards higher as an educational institution. They are elected by the people of this district and act in their place in deciding problems and policies of the high school. The work of this board is appreciated and easily noticed in the school. Mr. Moyer is the president, having served in this capacity for many years. Mr. Pierce is the secretary. The other members making up the Board are: Marnati, Slykas, Cowles, Wagle, and Stevens. STUDENT COUNCIL Paul Stark is president of the Student Council and Leona Jessup is the secretary. The seniors elect two members from their class as representatives and the other classes each elect one student from their class as representatives. The class presidents become members automatically upon election. The purpose of the council is to express the students' thoughts and ideas on problems of the school and it is a great factor that helps in the wonderful cooperation found between students, principal, and faculty in the Westviiie High School. Principal P. W. Thomas is the adviser of the council. STARK SI IIONS KAGKLS TOVEY STR.UNIS MENESTR1NA JESSUP CHAI.KUS GROPPI I aye Fixe WHS FACULTY Paul W.

ST.VKAS SCARCK M ATTAI.OMi TROO.MA ANDERSON FERRARO MACK CUNNINGHAM MATTONK OWLS The Owls is an honorary organization of the outstanding students both in class work and outside activities. This organization is a goal for which many are striving; membership in this organization is the reward for work which reaps no compensation other than the personal satisfaction that one has done something useful. Students of WHS WHS'S BEST SPORTSMAN STEVE ALEXIS Each year the high school offers a sportsmanship trophy to the athlete who shows the best sportsmanship during varsity competition. This year Steve was selected for this award which he rightfully deserved. BASKETBALL QUEEN Before the basketball season opens, a campaign is opened to sell season tickets to the game. To the girl who sells the most goes the title of Basketball Queen and the privilege of having her name engraved on the handsome cup. This year's Queen was Juanita Jenkins. SENIORS STARK President PRESIDENT'S FAREWELL In this copy of the Janus, our pictures are appearing in a class group for the last time. SENIORS—we are Seniors! For three short years we have been striving to reach this goal; and as Seniors we have striven for another goal—graduation. Now since we have attained this purpose, words cannot express how hard it is for us to part—to leave our school, with all its pleasant associations and memories, to leave our classmates. There is one short four-lettered word which speaks compellingly of our futures— t e little word Next . We have climbed thus far on our journey through life but what is in store for us next? As classmates we feel that our futures and our successes or failures are largely due to ourselves. How are we going to react to the opportunities given us to become worth-while men and women of America? In order to succeed, we must decide to strive and forge ahead. If success does n° COm® ,n one thin9' if -ay in another. We cannot all be leaders, neither can we all be millionaires. Success is not alone measured by a famous name or by the amount of money piled up. Hard work is the key to success. Lincoln was not forced to study. He did so because he wanted an education and because he wanted to make the most of his opportunities. He worked hard over his books by the light cast from the glowing embers of a fireplace and became, in the end, a great leader of men. He was not afraid of work. He worked tirelessly and when his opportunity came, he succeeded because he was ready to meet it. None of us can succeed unless we try. A runner would never win a race if he took things too easily. If he did not try hard enough, he would be beaten by the one who worked the hardest. Bluffing will never get anyone anywhere. It is honest-to-goodness work that makes for success. By hard work is not necessarily meant hard manual labor. It means that whatever life work is taken up. it should be done with the best of one s ability. Everyone should be heart and soul in his work and reward is sure to crown his efforts. Raindrops make great streams of water. Bricks make massive walls. One raindrop or one brick cannot accomplish all. So it is with us. We must help others and receive help from others. In working toward the goal of success, let us not be afraid to give as much and more than we receive. We have accomplished one big step in our journey through life. Here's hoping that we shall all have perseverence. energy, and will-power enough to go ahead with the next step, and the next step after that, and so on, until we have reached our ultimate goal. Page Ten CLASS OF '37 You will never win out by saying I can’t, Laying down and refusing to go; But by steadily working and moving ahead, You will come to the head of your row. I tell you great things were not done by the man Who quit before he began, But the one who said to himself I can, Nor quit till his work was all done. Don't be discouraged if you come to a hill, You can climb it, I know, if you try; Just start right up with a hearty good will, And you'll find that you made it on high. Keep using your head, as the woodpecker said, When he was making a hole. Keep plugging away, as many men say, And you're bound to come out at the goal. We wish to express, first of all, our thanks and appreciation to our parents. For after all, they are the ones who have made it possible for us to become Seniors. It is through their untiring efforts and sacrifices that we have been enabled to have this much of an education. They have given us an excellent start in life. Then—we want to thank the Faculty for their aid in helping us achieve our purpose and for their guidance and supervision during our four years in Westville High. They have helped us when we needed encouragement and advice. A keener appreciation of the work our Faculty has done for us, no doubt will be given us when we too are out in the world working for a purpose and striving for an end. To all our friends—and among them we certainly number the Board of Education —we wish to extend our sincerest thanks for the financial support and encouragement given, which made it possible for each one of us to be members of this year's graduating class. Classmates, it is going to be hard for us to say Good-bye during Commencement night. Through our four years of high school, we have formed friendships which will remain with us throughout life. We are now about to graduate and upon graduation, we will probably scatter to all parts of the land. So, while we clasp hands after the closing scenes of graduation, let us resolve to shape our lives so that as classmates we shall be proud of one another, and Westville High School will preserve our names as honored members of this School.

Focus your locals and read! Perhaps the Hi-Tri League is the most inspirational organization to the girls of WHS. The meetings are held regularly and the girls are made to understand and realize a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of human nature. Under the excellent and splendid supervision of Mrs. Nellie Taylor Raub, the Dean of Girls, the Hi-Tri League functions smoothly. The splendid Valentine Party of 1937 was given bv the girls of the Hi-Tri League. Headed by the lovable Raisler (Mr. Foster J. Raisler), the Boys' League is an organization to which all boys of the school belong. They take part in the meetings and programs, become acquainted with their fellow classmen and men faculty teachers. Perhaps one of the mighty organizations in WHS is the Dramatic Club. This c'ub consists of the more stage-minded” students who blossom forth as Cornells and Barrymores under the able assistance of Miss Elizabeth Somers. Sometimes a person finds that to argue on his opinions he must make enemies— but usually, a good arguer finds himself in the Debating Club upholding right or wrong to his heart's desire. It is said that sometimes the spirits of the debaters is so aroused that to pacify them Miss Margaret Brittan, the adviser, plays sweetly on her violin. Then the debaters are soothed and become as peaceful as lambs. The newspaper staff represents a large number of students working together to bring forth the Westville High . Mr. Edward Delaney is the adviser. The Annual staff is made up of other members such as your scribe who willingly works with Mr. Kriviskey to present a Janus to the Westville High School annually. Junior and Senior Science Clubs, Biology Clubs, Clothing Clubs, and the Girls' Athletic Association, Foods Club, are all other activities to which scholastic standing are requirements. Here the students and the teachers work together and learn of different subjects interesting to their particular organization. Closing the book with a bang, you can readily realize that the pages of the Activity Book are crammed full of opportunities for YOU students. Use them! I aye Tu'enly-one BOYS' LEAGUE The Boys' League is an organization in the school to which all the boys belong. This organization sponsors vocational guidance and problems dealing with boys. Programs of different types are given at the bi-monthly meetings. These include outside speakers, school talent, and discussion of various topics of special interest to the boys.

Page Twenty-two BAND We are justly proud of our band, their uniforms, their playing, leaders, and director, Miss Brittan. At football and basketball contests they have proven themselves entertaining as well as aiding in keeping up the enthusiasm of the crowd. The members are selected by Miss Brittan, given special instruction during band practices, and receive an award if they fulfill all requirements.

Practicing several hours a week during and after school hours, they have accomplished a great deal Besides being in the operetta and singing in various school entertainments, they sing in the County Music Festival each fall. NEWSPAPER The newspaper, The Westville High, not only affords a medium for the presentation of the highlights of student activity, but also valuab'e training to various members of the staff. Mr. Delaney skillfully guides the efforts of the staff, which is headed by Eleanor Miglin. THE ORCHESTRA The Westville High School orchestra had its first year of training in 1925.

Not only are debaters selected and trained, but also orators, declamators, humorous speakers, and others. Each year one or more of the contestants win a place in the meet. The try-outs are usually given before the student body during assembly programs. LIBRARY STAFF Our library is a rapidly growing establishment and one of the most important. We have no head librarian this year, as our sponsor, Miss Glod-kowskis, is trying a new system. The library is neatly arranged, well ventilated. well lighted and it is increasing each year. This year a new system was adopted, including entrance into library during study hours. A pass was given by the teacher to those students who were to go to the library. No one was permitted without a pass, thus keeping out undesirables.

Paye Twenty-six OPERETTA MAY PETE DRAMATIC CLUB STAGE MANAGERS JUNIOR PLAY CAST OPERETTA The operetta. Hollywood Bound, was presented this year, with Emma Lou Shimlcus and Fred Roberts in the star roles. The plot dealt with a movie colony and a race horse; all of this surrounded by singing choruses.

This play included the crowning of the May Queen, Miss Lucille Armon, and the Maid of Honor, Miss Louise Hible. This was the most stupendous performance of the year, full of color, gaiety, songs, and dancing. Miss Dowiatt deserves much credit for its success. STAGE MANAGERS The hardest working boys in and around the school are the stage managers. Pulling curtains, setting up scenery, setting up and taking down chairs, and handling the liqhts are very few of the things that they must do. No better choice could have been made in their selection, since John Gerchalk, Franklin Dugas, and John Brazas fulfilled all of their requirements and no one has had any comment to make other than satisfactory. JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Class presented one of the best plays of the year. Whether it was the quality of the play, the acting, or the wonderful directing of Miss Redulis is not agreed upon, but For Pete's Sake” received favorable comment from spectators in all parts of the darkened gymnasium during the performance. The money made is used for the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet. DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY Roger's Wild Rose” was presented October 13, 1936 by the Dramatic Club for the purpose of increasing the music department purse. The story dealt with a wealthy young man, Roger Ames, falling in love with a country girl, Eva. The characters included Franklin Dugas, Margaret Balsamello, Patricia Delanois, John Brazas, Alfred Vi-let, Adele Guntor, Eleanor Miglin, Maurice Sole, and Evelyn Harrier. SENIOR PLAY Each year the Senior Class puts on a play to help defray the expenses of caps and gowns for graduation. The play is directed by Mr. Alison, who has had a great deal of experience in handling dramatic stars. This year's play is Romance in a Boarding House. The Seniors, who each previous year get experience in the Junior Play, usually put on an excellent performance. This year, the Seniors are very optimistic. They believe that they will put on a play so good that a very large attendance will be expected with the result that they will be the class that will donate the greatest amount toward the purchase price of the new motion picture machine. t’aue Tvtnty-seven FOOTBALL BANQUET The Home Ec. girls will malte excellent wives if they can cook as good when they get out of school as they did in preparing the Football Banquet meal. So spoke Mr. Walter Roettger, assistant basketball and head baseball coach at the University of Illinois, in introducing his speech for the evening. Other speakers included Mr. William Moyer, Coach Miller, Edward Delaney, Capt. Sabalasky, Capt-elect Surzyn, Cyril Urbas, and others. This banquet is given yearly by the school to honor the football team. CARNIVAL If you did not attend this year s carnival, you missed a lot because it afforded everyone an excellent opportunity to have a good time. Amidst confetti, noise o the milling crowd. Coach Miller's spieling, and other noise, Emma Lou Shimkus was selected as the most popular girl. The money earned from the efforts of the future Barnums was used to purchase the new sound projector. ANNUAL HOMECOMING Each year the Westville High School pays homage to its graduates at an Annual Homecoming Dance. Before the dance there is a big parade and an exciting game in store for the has-beens' who have come home to renew acquaintances. The Home-Ec Club won the float prize with a very beautiful float. Second place was taken by the G. A. A. The Junior Science Club pooled their efforts and won third. In the game between Normal and Westville, the Tigers came out ahead with a 14-0 score. The gala event of the evening was a dance at which Alison's Orchestra furnished soft soothing melodies.

CHEER LEADERS MARLO DUDLEY FOOTBALL With Quarterback Frank Surzyn's brilliant running and Captain Bruce Sabalasky's long and accurate punting leading the way. the Miners, under the skillful guidance of Coach Clayton Miller, completed their most successful season in six years. They won eight games and lost one, making a total of I I 4 points to their opponents' 46.

Bruce played fullback and was an exceptional punter, being considered one of the best kickers in this part of the state. COACHES The Westville High School Tigers were coached by Clayton Miller, who was assisted by Coach Delaney. They have been quite successful due to much effort, time and guidance on their part. Coach Miller has been with us for twelve years coaching the Tigers, while this is the first year for Assistant Coach Edward Delaney. GAMES KANKAKEE Kankakee came to town for the first game of the season and received a 6-2 setback by the Millermen. Having played the Up-Staters the past four years, this is the first victory for the Tigers. This game was the start of a very successful season. CATLIN The following week Catlin was encountered and defeated to the tune of 12-0. The fast-charging line that blocked two punts was too much for the Ave-men of Catlin.

Scoring both touchdowns in the first half, Westville came out and held the Paxton team to 6 points in the second half to win. BRADLEY Westville had easy going in marking up its fourth victory of the season, 25-0. The field was wet and slippery from rain. Substitutes were used freely. HOOPESTON The meeting of these two undefeated teams resulted in another victory for the Tigers. The ground route being blocked by an extra heavy line, the Tigers took to the air and completed a pass for the lone touchdown. NORMAL Westville celebrated its homecoming by taking victim number six—Normal—into camp, 14-0. Westville scored in the first period and then played a steady game, coming through to score again in the last quarter. CLINTON Bang! The undefeated Westville team was knocked over by a powerful Clinton team by a 31-0 score. The Miners played a bang-up first half, lagging behind by only a 7-0 score, but couldn't keep pace with the fast-stepping Hoosiers, during the second half. RIDGEFARM Ridgefarm, boasting their best team for years, was soon subdued by the fast Westville squad, 24-0. The Tigers came back hard after having tasted defeat for the first time the past week. GEORGETOWN Westville closed a very successful season by subduing the Georgetown Buffaloes in a very exciting, hard-fought game. The Tigers scored early to get in the lead by a 6-0 score, but were soon behind 7-6 when a Georgetown player made a long 80-yard run for a touchdown. The score remained thus until about 5 minutes left to play, when Sibons caught a shoe-string sleeper pass. This put new spirit in the boys as it avenged a bitter defeat administered them the past year by Georgetown. Hafft Thirty-one TIGER FOR JOHN JACOBS End Senior Bill was a tall lanky boy who was able to snag passes very well. His long reach helped him also to stop his opponents before they were even able to start. TONY NEVERDOUSKY Halfback Senior Light, but speedy, Tony had his opponents worried when he started out on a long end run because he was hard to catch. He was a consistent ground gainer. JOHN CHERBOUSKY Guard Senior John did not make the team until his last year, but his playing had many wondering why he was not a regular last year. A fighter. BRUCE SABALASKY Fullback Senior As Captain of the 1936 team, he performed brilliantly. His punting had no equal in this part of the state. A big husky youth who knew how to handle himself. GEORGE SIBONS Fullback Junior Dum-Dum was hard to stop when he got going. A fast heavy man, he gained much ground through the line. Next year ought to see him at his best. FRANK LESKO Tackle Junior Not as heavy as tackles usually are, Frank stood his ground and made his opponents realize that weight didn't matter as far as he was concerned. ROBERT LUCAS Halfback Sophomore Only a Sophomore, Bob saw much action and much is expected of him in his next two years. He is a fast shifty man who knows how to twist and weave. DOMINIC SWIDER Guard Junior One of the cleanest players on the field, Dominic displayed a great deal of fight. He is one of the reasons why Westv:!le should have a great team next year. Page Thirty-two ROSTER 1936 JOHN ALELUNAS Tackle Senior Whenever anyone tried John's side of the line they had tough going. A husky fellow that showed strength in the forward wall. He will be missed next year. STEVE ALEXIS Center Senior Steve was a good all-around man, both on offense and defense. Even though he played center, he figured in many ground gains by intercepting a lot of the opponents' passes. FELIX GRITES Halfback Senior Fitters was one of the most dependable ground gainers and an excellent open-field runner who was hard to stop. He caught the pass that beat Hoopeston. PAT MARKUNAS Tackle Senior When Pete Laitas, the regular tackle, was injured, Pat filled in his place very effectively even though he lacked experience. His weight made up for this. ROBERT MENESTRINA End Senior The hardest fighting man on the team who was always in every play. He was handicapped by injuries but always played a brilliant game. JOE SHAW Guard Senior A cool-headed lineman that helped open up holes when they were needed. Even though he was not very large, he made up for it in fight. FRANK SURZYN Quarterback Junior Next year's captain. Everyone who saw Durks perform knows that he is as good a football player as any coach would want. ROBERT CHAPMAN End Junior Robert was a very dependable player who most certainly will bolster next year's team. He is a good pass receiver. Tape Thirty three Mgr.

With the new lineup, the boys finished the season, losing only 3 games. The closing season found Godelausky, Masiokas, Robert Lucas, Kagels. and Kuchefski on the starting lineup with Pachinski, Norman Lucas, Stal, Tovey, and Timmerman on the reserve list. Most of these men will probably be on the varsity next year, especially Godelausky, center, and Kagels, forward. Both of these boys played excellent bad, and Kagels was high point man. The team won I I games and lost 3. The only game that the Hoopeston reserves lost ad season was to the Silver Streaks . Coach Rogers speaks very highly of his boys. This was his first year as the reserve coach and he was very much pleased with them and their performance. It was only a few years ago that the reserve team was originated. It serves as a training for future Varsity players. Each player making the team is awarded a letter.

The only returning letterman was Frank Slykas. who was also captain of the squad. The team participated in two dual meets besides the district and annual county meet. The dual meets were with Georgetown and Catlin. Both were lost by close scores. The Tigers were assigned to Monticello for the district meet, and for the first time since Coach Miller has taken over athletics at Westville, they failed to register a single point. Then came the annual Vermilion County track classic held at Catlin—and won by Catlin—with a total of forty and one-half points. Westville, scoring only sixteen points, placed fourth. Captain Slykas scored Westville’s only first place when he won the 440-yard run. Neil Lowman managed to place third in the half mile and fourth in the mile. Felix Grites was the only dash man to place, placing third in the 100-yard dash. In the 120-yard high hurdles, Westville scored two points as Farrell crossed the line third. In the field events the Tigers placed three men. Tom Beresford took third in the broad jump, Sibons placed fourth in the shot put, and Sabalasky threw the javelin far enough to merit a fourth place. Although the season proved to be unsuccessful, most of the boys returning this year have gained the needed experience to bolster this year’s team. Page Thirty-six n SOI.K JENKINS DUGAS HARRIER IIALSAMKI.LO ATHLETIC BOARD OF CONTROL The Athletic Board of Control is composed of five members chosen from the student body by the Student Council, principal and W Association. Their duty is to take care of all financial affairs concerning the athletic events. The members are prompt, courteous to the public, and willing to work hard. Each year a chairman is chosen who makes out the reports for athletic events. This year it was Evelyn Harrier. For the services rendered by the board a W is presented to each at the end of the year. The other members are Maurice Sole, Juanita Jenkins, Franklin Dugas, and Arthur Balsamello. SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD THE GREAT SCORER When the Great Scorer comes to write your name, He writes not that you won or lost, but that you played the game. —The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Knute Rockne once said, A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. This latter part appears to exemplify the type of athlete which participates in Westville High athletics. For years Westville has been known far and wide as a producer of great athletes. The award given has a two-fold purpose. First, to reward the athlete showing the best sportsmanship on the field of play; and, second, to encourage good sportsmanship among the players. This cup was won by Steve Alexis last year. This award will not be made for this year until the close of the season. The committee of three who select the winner is not made public because it might create hard feelings. I’ai f Thirty-seven BASKETBALL CHAMPS VOLLEY BALL CHAMPS HORSESHOE CHAMPS BOXING TEAM Dominic Swider with Sportsmanship Trophy BOYS INTRA-MURAL Intra-mural sports are very popular among the boys. Every afternoon they can be seen playing indoor baseball, football, basketball, and volley ball, depending upon the season of the year. The intra-mural sports are under the supervision of Mr. Rogers, who also teaches Physical Education. Mr. Rogers organizes the teams, works out the schedules, referees, and does other numerous things that are necessary to get the games started and going. The games are played during the afternoon and usually last about forty-five minutes. Indoor baseball is played in the autumn, with touch football immediately following. Then comes volley ball, basketball, and indoor again in the spring of the year. The team that wins the various games get their pictures in the Annual. In March there is a basketball tournament among the various classes. No boy who is out for the Reserve or Varsity team can play in the tournaments. The class that wins then plays the faculty members for the school title. The greatest praise should be given the boxing team, which makes an excellent showing each year. From their boxing training, the boys gain much valuable experience. Dominic Swider, one of the boxing class products, entered the Golden Gloves Tournament this year and won the sportsmanship trophy, even though he lost in the finals. Page Thirty-eight G. A. A. Every year the girls participate in the various activities: soccer, baseball, tennis, speed ball, volley ball, bounce ball, archery, and basketball. They also learn folk, tap, character and social dancing and take part in the May Fete. During the soccer season, a tournament was held in which the fifth hour combination Junior and Senior team won. A new game, called badminton, was added to the department this year. A tournament was held in this. The winners were three Junior girls, Mary Jan-osik, Ethel Debarba, and Agnes Pasierb; Evelyn Sutton and Mary Omahan came in second, with Florence Vacketta and Marion Toth taking third. The basketball tourney was won by the Sophomores, with the Freshmen taking second. During the season the girls entertained several surrounding schools in a Fall Play Day. Many girls helped in the planning and it was a great success. They also had an initiation party. This party brought out the good sportsmanship of the girls, especially the Freshmen. The G. A. A. is a worthwhile department to the girls. Besides having fun and learning technique of games and to do dances, they learn to keep themselves in good health and they have lectures on health; Seniors learn to officiate at games; they also learn good sportsmanship, poise, and cooperation, which is noticed in every undertaking they do. FROSHSOPH GROUP JUNIOR-SENIOR GROUP SOCCER CHAMPS SQUAD LEADERS BADMINTON WINNERS ALUMNI The 1936 homecoming festivities were begun by the third Annual Homecoming Parade, which proved to be another grand success. Floats in the parade were entered by the different organizations of the high school. Prizes were awarded to the three best floats. After the parade followed the homecoming football game between Westville and Community High of Normal, which Westville easily won, 14 to 0. The festivities came to a grand climax in the evening with the annual Homecoming Ball. The students and alumni enjoyed dancing mid the soft lights and sweet music of Alison's Orchestra. The members of the Alumni Association held their meeting during the intermission of the dance. Election of officers was held, and President Paul Somers was succeeded by Mrs. George Kriviskey. The other officers chosen for the ensuing year were Mrs. Walter Dowiatt, vice-president; Jeanne Wagle, secretary, and Frank Slykas, treasurer. A meeting was held later to discuss plans for the annual minstrel. Each year the Alumni Association uses the proceeds of this affair to fete the Senior Class with a banquet and dance. The principal purpose of the Alumni Association is to promote the general welfare and better interest of the Westville schools, and foster self-contained social entertainment. A reception of the graduating class of W. T. H. S„ participation in the Homecoming activities, the annual minstrel show are some of the activities promoted by the Association. The Annual Alumni Minstrel show was given on the evening of Feb. 16, 1937, and was apparently MRS. GEO. KRIVISKEY President a success. A new idea in minstrel shows was used, the cast being made up entirely of the fairer sex, and the formal minstrel circle being done away with. The plot of the show concerned a cannibal king who had just recently acquired a new wife. The entertainment was given in her honor. The songs and dances proved quite pleasant to the new queen, namely, Flamin' Marne. The costumes were typical of the cannibal tribes: grass skirts, black hulu wigs, ghastly faces, some cannibals with bones or rings in their noses. The show was given in Westville, Grape Creek, III., and Rileysburg, Ind. The cast was composed of Thelma Dudley, Marie Rippon, Lucille Armon, Lillian Matalone, Jean Wagle, Mrs. Frances Zamber-letti, Mrs. Rose Hacquet, Mrs. Edith Jacobs, Mrs. Edna Moyer, Mrs. Anna Libert, Mrs. Helen Alison, Mrs. Edith Duncan, Mrs. Helen Barr, Virginia Moyer, JEAN WAGLE Secretary FRANK SLYKAS Treasurer Pay Forty Alumni Minstrel ARMON MRS.

ItARR Celeste Mario, Vivian Dudley, Emma Lou Shimlcus, Mrs. Zilda Kroskoskis, and Dorothy Watson. Pianists were Adele Guntor and Miss Evelyn Anderson. Orchestra music was by Mr. Alison. Director was Mrs. Ruby Kriviskey. The proceeds of the minstrel show, in addition to the sale of tickets, will be used to tender a dinner and dance to the 1937 graduating class. This banquet is always an affair that is looked forward to for a long time. It brings many of the old-timers home, for a few short hours at least, during which many friendships are renewed and many incidents are discussed, some of which bring tears and others laughter. After all is said and done, we all agree that our high school days stand out as one of the happiest times of our lives. The Alumni Banquet is usually given a few weeks following the Junior-Senior banquet. Dinner is served, after which comes the Class Recognition, during which at the 1936 banquet there was at least one person present from every graduating class with the exception of one. The new members are then taken into the organization. A few minutes of business and then all retire from the banquet room while preparations are being made for the dance. Then, select your old high school sweetheart, and drift back 5, 10, perhaps 15 years, to the days that were your happiest.

Wow! ---------------1 Page Forty-six Bill Jacobs: Yes, when I was in Africa a lion ran across my path. I had no gun, so I took a pail of water and poured it over his head and he ran away. Emil Spezia: I can vouch for that. I was in Africa at the time and the lion ran into me and when I stroked his mane, it was still quite damp. The merry old knight of the road stood stood at the kitchen door with his battered hat in his hand. Come in, and I’ll give you some food. In a few minutes the tramp was up to his elbows in a hefty meal. As he ate, Miss Dowiatt remarked: I suppose your life has been full of trials. Yessum, he sighed, and the worst of it is that I was always convicted. Silas: The fishing is very good here. A bass was caught yesterday weighing nearly four pounds.” Hank: Who caught him, Pat Mar-kunas? Silas: Heavens, no! If Bill had caught him he'd have weighed nearly eight! Mr. Kriviskey: I'm sorry, Ruby, but I went into six stores and tried to match your sample of goods but there wasn't a thing in town anywhere like it. Mrs.: That's just what I wanted to find out. Now I can make a new dress and know that all the other women in town won't have one of the same kind. Yes, said Mr. Delaney, I have had some terrible disappointments, but none stands out like the one that came to me when I was a boy. And what was it? When I was a boy I crawled under a tent to see a circus and discovered it was a revival meeting. Counsel (in divorce case): Is it true your husband led a dog's life with you? Mrs. Chapp: He did. He came in with muddy shoes, leaving footprints all over the carpet. He took the best place near the fire and waited to be fed. He growled at the least provocation and snapped at me a dozen times a day. J. K. GALBREATH Groceries. Fruits, Vegetables, Flour PHONE 33 GEORGETOWN. ILL.

Somewhat at a loss for small talk, he ventured, after the first course, to inquire, Likee soupee? There was no reply except a genial beam. After the next course he followed up his first opening with Likee fishee? This evoked a still more genial beam. Later in the evening the visitor from the Far East responded to a toast in perfect English. On resuming his seat he asked his neighbor, Likee speechee? Emma Lou: If you try to kiss me, I'll call mother. Fitters: What's the matter with your father? Oh, he isn't as deaf as mother is.

An English tourist was on his first visit to Niagara Falls, and Bob Menestrina, a guide, was trying to impress him with their magnitude. Grand! suggested the guide. The visitor did not seem impressed. Millions of gallons a minute! explained Bob. How many in a day? asked the tourist. Oh, billions and billions! answered Bob. The visitor looked across and down and up, as if gauging the flow. Then he turned away, apparently unimpressed. Runs all night, too, I suppose! he remarked. Here lies the remains of a radio fan Not mourned by his many relations. He went to a powder mill smoking his pipe And was picked up by twenty-one stations.

The porter was very strict on veracity. No untruth ever passed his lips. Is this my train? he was asked one day by Mildred Hamilton. No, madam, he replied soberly. It belongs to the company. Don't be so smart, she snapped. 1 mean can 1 take this train to Milwaukee? 1 hardly think you'd be equal to it, ma'am, Ringus replied courteously. And anyhow, we've got an engine to do it.

Down in Arkansas a man was up before the court charged with beating his team and using loud and profane language. One of the witnesses was an old negro. Did the defendant use improper language while he was beating his horses?' Well, he talked mighty loud, Sah. Did he indulge in profanity? The witness seemed puzzled, so the lawyer put the question in another form. What I mean, Uncle Sam, is did he use words that would be proper for a minister to use in a sermon? Oh, yes, Sah, the old man replied, with a grin; but dey'd have to be ranged in different order. Howard Borgwald: Yes. I've seen a few bad crops in my time, too. One year our string beans were so poor that the crop didn't even pay for the string. David Palmer: That's nothing. In '94 our corn was so bad that my old Grand-pappy, who had a very poor appetite, ate up 14 acres of corn at a single meal. Since we've moved to the country, explained Helen Hycz, we raise nearly everything we eat. We even keep our own cow.
