It is edited by the Seniors, but not of the Seniors or for the Seniors alone. W'e have tried to remember that this is the year-book of the entire school and have endeavored not to show partiality to any one class. Although this book is edited by a comparatively small group of people, the material for its makeup is furnished by the entire school, and in it We have tried to reproduce the very spirit of tl1e school which produces it. W And so we offer you this book not without some little trepidation, it is true, but with tl1e knowledge that we have done our best. It has been our intention not only to make' the book interesting to the casual reader, but to instil in it a spirit that will be appreciated by the departing student, and that will enable him in years to come to look back with pleasure on the years spent in the YV. ll. S. ' THE EDITOR. The material for this book has been furnished entirely by the students. NVQ have given assistance only ill the arranffinef of the tw . C D material in book form. The editors appreciate the help given by the Commercial Depart- ment which typed a large part of the book, and that rendered by the merchants of YVilliamsville Whose support has been most generously given, and has, in a large measure, made possible our Annual.

CLASS POEM Time ever flowing Bids us be going, Dear Williamsville High, Far, far from thee. Hearts grow older, but love never colder, Never forgotten shalt thou be. What we now leave, Others will receive. Children of Williamsville! When we are gone You must forward strain and fresh honor gain! Keep the torch burning! Hand it on! Old Williamsville faces, Old Williamsville places, Though We be parted and far away, Seen ever clearly, loved ever dearly, Shall then be with us as today! BEULA DENNISON '22 17 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Cn September 2nd, 1918, the class of 192.2 began its career in the iWilliamsville High School. Those wl1o enrolled at this time were: Jennie V. Caldwell, Beula. Dennison, Louise Vasconcells, Gladys McAfee, Gladys Constant, Frances Pancake, Edith Pancake, Anna McClure, Ruby Dennison, Birdie Long, Mary Claypool, Bruce Runnels, Hazel Burton, Merle Moore, Earl Carter, Everett Critchfield and Stanley Sands. lVe began school in the old building, but were there 'only six weeks until school was dismissed because of the influenza epidemic, and not resumed until January of 1919. During this time Everett Critchfield moved away. Margaret Chandler joined us in tl1e latter part of Septem- ber, but moved away in February. In September 1919 all of the members of the class who staid until the preceding'May returned. During this term we lost one of our best students, Bruce Runnels, who moved to Rochester. Those who remained managed to get by the finals the second year, but the following fall Frances and Edith Pancake moved to Springfield and Ruby Dennison did not return. Charles Mecay came in from the tenth grade in the country schools to finish the work with us. In October we moved into the new building, an event to which we had been looking forward for some time. In April we presented our Class Play at Singer's Theater, realizing seventy-five dollars on the one performance. The same month we con- ducted a sale on election day and made ten dollars. This financed the Junior-Senior Banquet wl1icl1 was given on May 13th. This fell on a Friday, and there were thirteen members in the class at that time, but no ill-luck befell. p In September 1921. Mary Claypool and Birdie Long failed to ap- pear. Birdie had been married during the vacation, Arthur Conrey, Hascal Mountz and Burton Pulliam joined the class a.t this time. The Class as Seniors won the Inter-Class Basket Ball Tournament, two of our members-Merle Moore and Earl Carter made the first team and won letters, Earl was elected Captain of the team and his work in that capacity reflects credit on the school and his class. Merle was one of our strongest guards all season. Gladys McAfee was chosen by the Faculty as Editor-in-Chief of La Revista, and Gladys Constant was President of the Literary Society. Jennie Caldwell, Hazel Burton, Merle Moore, Louise Vasconcells also served on the La Revista staff. HAZEL BURTON '22, 18 CLASS PROPHECY On May 2nd, 1938, my great-grandfather having diedfand left me more money than most people could spend, I started on a tour of the world to see if I could locate any of my schoohnates of the class of 1922, Williamsville High School. Two days after reaching Liverpool, I was spending an afternoon at that historic old seat of learning, Oxford College. I was walking across the campus, comparing the tall and graceful spires of Oxford to the well-remembered smoke stack of the old school back home, when my thoughts descended with a bump from the highest spire. I beheld a stout middle-aged man clutching a. large green umbrella and endeavoring to rescue an armful of books. As I helped him I saw the title of one: The Psychological Analysis of the Development of the Brain of High School Seniors. Just then he moved the umbrella and I beheld tl1e solemn, spectacled face of Professor Merle G. Moore. From London I went to Paris. One day in one of its justly famous style shows, a model came out wearing a most beautiful evening gown of peacock feathers and alligator skin. The slender form and stately bearing made it difficult for me to recognize Beula in the beautiful model strutting across the stage under the name of Madame Beulair Dennison. After two weeks spent in Paris with Beula, I settled in Rome for the musical season. The American Colony there was electrified one day to hear that the American Band, formerly known as Sousa's., and still boasting as members some of the men of Sousafs day, would play one evening in Rome. When the leader came forth to greet the audience, I was astonished beyond all words. In a band master's suit of blue with much gold braid and a gold tasseled cap, stood Hasca.l Mountz. Among other noted musicians advertised with Prof. Mountz was Louise Vas- concells. accompanist, who had recently, according to the program, graduated from the Chicago Conservatory of Music with the highest honors. While in Germany, I ran across Anna McClure. She told me she was now proprietor of a Beauty Parlor and that her booklet, How to Keep One 's Complexion in Perfect Condition While Vlforrying Night and Day About Chemistry had reached an unheard of circulation in Germany among the plodding, burrowing German students. One day while passing through the Strasse Wilhelm, we smelled an odor like Hydrogen Sulphide. Anna, recalling her early knowledge and appre- ciation of Chemistry gained from the Instructor at Williamsville became curious to know the origin of this dear f'?j odor. I glanced, up and saw a sign which read HB. P. Pulliam, Chemist. Entering we saw seated at the table in the center of the small room, Herr Professor Burton Pull- 19 iam, now one of Germany 's greatest chemists, endeavoring to prove the formula Hgo-Cr+H2O. I asked Anna where Gladys McAfee was, and what she Was doing. Anna answered, with a David and Jonathan sigh, that Gladys was a kindergarten teacher in Chicago, and it was her firm intention to organ- ize a kindergarten for the freshmen in the W. H. S. to provide a place where they could be sent now and then to relieve Miss Canfield. In my hotel the following day I picked up a newspaper and saw the following headlines: Earl Carter, Noted Hunter, Sails for America, After Having Spent Two Years in tl1e African Jungles Hunting Ele- phants. The article stated that Prof. Carter was the first to have the honor of killing two elephants with one shot. After visiting all places of interest in Europe, I started on my home- ward journey from Japan. Arriving at San Francisco, I attended the Democratic National Convention. Hazel Burton, delegate from Illinois, was advocating tl1e nomination of William Jennings Bryan, on the Free Silver Platform, for the fourteenth time. From San Francisco I went to Detroit and visited the Ford factory. Almost the first person I met was Arthur Conrey, now President of the Ford Company, Inc. I asked Arthur if the Fords were worth the money and he replied No, but they may be in years to come. Leaving the factory I had lunch at a little tea-room nearby. There I found Miss Jennie V. Caldwell. She said she had been enga.ged in this work even since she had graduated from college. After lunch and a pleasant visit with Jennie, I took tl1e train for Springfield. Arriving in Springfield August 15th, I found the Illinois State Fair in progress and the world-famed aviator, Stanley Sands entertaining huge crowds each evening and afternoon. U And so I returned to my home in Williamsville, located on the cor- ner formerly occupied by the old bank. fMy worst worry is to keep the decendents of the old-time crowd who used to gather there for the pur- pose of recreation and gathering information from killing my lawn by reclining and loafing on it to the constant exclusion of the Sunlightj I am busily engaged, now, in my spare time in planning for the re-union of the class of '22 which will take place next summer, celebrating Wil- liamsville's being incorporated and made the Capitol of Illinois. GLADYS CONSTANT '22. 20 SENIOR CLASS WILL Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1922, Williamsville Town- ship Higl1 School. VVe, the Class of 1922, being of sound mind and body, in tl1e pres- ence of said witnesses who have hereunto attached their signatures, do most solemnly ordain and establish this as our last will and Testament. In case any of the beloved heirs are decea.sed before the time of tl1e reading of this will, we command that the property herein bequeathed to said persons shall be equally divided among the co-heirs. Vile, the Class of 1922, Williamsville Township High School, do here bequeath to the said school our steadfast love and devotion, our class spirit and our class picture. VVe bequeath to the Faculty our everlasting thanks and apprecia- tion for the remarkable grades rendered us, and for the tender little daily lectures for the bettering of our welfare, also what remains of the Williamsville High School, including Juniors, Sophomores, Janitor and pencil sharpeners. To tl1e Juniors we leave our humble character, and not notorious fame, our desks in the Assembly, our bank book, and our lawn mower, the last that they may be able to keep tl1e High School lawn in perfect condition. NVe bequeath to the Sophomorcs our dignity and power in school affairs, our voice, several notebooks in which to write all their verses, songs and friendly notes, and a menu for the next year's Junior-Senior Banquet. To the Freshmen we leave our respect for the W. H. S., several hand mirrors, good hints on quietness in the study hall, and a rake for raking the leaves from under our class tree. To our beloved Palmer we leave a few dust cloths, some furniture polish and sweeping compound, also our thanks for keeping the English Room so comfortably warm during the winter months.

The lVar of eighteen tWelve - She listened much aghast-- 4' Began in eighteen nine, And still they came more fast! Then Jefferson in '60 He captured Boston Town, And mighty Henry Clay Stood on the Hilltop looking down. The Tories fought for us, The lVhigs with John Paul Jones, England, France and Italy, Sans interest, gave us loans. 'tThen Andrew Jackson fought with Lee, And good LaSalle and Cartier- Those heroes bold of Spain- When asked to, crossed the Delaware. The Ordinacc of sev'teen eighty-seven Was passed in eighteen sixty-three, YVhen Lincoln promised men The slaves would loc entirely free. And give me sun or give me death, John Adams cried one stormy day, 'Fourscore and seven years ago- 'Ah, no,' he thought, 'it will not payl' Theyalso serve who stand and wait. Now that's what Milton said, And every now Hlld then That passes thru and thru my head. But I?

We Iirst entered school, twenty-two in number fthe largest Fresh- men class in the history of the school at that timej , in the fall of 1919. We were a coming class as is evidenced by the fact that the Juniors and Seniors found it necessary to league aga.inst us in Basket Ball. In the spring of '21 we had our first class party, to which the Faculty and Seniors were invited. Owing to a change in schedule we took the same Latin as the class of '24, which we usually beat in class average until the end of our Sophomore year. In that second year we studied zealously, hoping to win the reputation of the best class our teachers ever taught. We placed two boys, Eugene Mountz and Paul Young on the Basket Ball team. , We entered upon our Junior year more determined than ever. Many on the second team in Basket Ball were Juniors. Paul Young again played on tl1e first team, and Newton Cunningham, Eugene Mountz and Joe Council were subs i Our most important event of tl1e present year is the banquet we give the Seniors at the close of school. 1 We look forward to next year determined to hold our place in school activities a.nd uphold the traditions and sta.ndards of the school. ' MARCUS BRAUN. MARCUS AND HIS PILLOW I have a lot of trouble, With my pillow every day, As sure as it is left When I am gone away, Some Seniors dear, or Sophs Put in a big black pin, And then, when I sit down, I'm sure to rise agin. I have to take it with me Every time I goto class, And every kid that's in the room, Will snigger when I pass. It's lots of trouble, too, But after a.ll, it pays, It makes the seat more soft . To sit on all the days. REMA MOORE '24. 27 GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH O Spirit of Freedom! On us descend! Deliver us from philosophic men, And those who take delight in seeing man Placed under their own stern hard ban- From writers of novels whom work has made sour Anal eynies and erities who love their great power. Stern Daughter of Independence, Deliver us from ALL evils, And burrowing thinkers Rootingy like cotton boll weevils. From grim-visaged writers wl1o wish to abuse us NVith Essays on l+'riendship that cause a great fuss- VVho sit in their eliairs and bid us rely Un the strength of the powerful I Though baffled seers eannot impart The secrets of their laboring hearts- Again we ery l7eliverance! Free us from all evils, And burrowing thinkers like Cotton Boll weevils. MARKU S BRAUN '23, T0 THE SOPHOMORES WITH CONDOLENCES They saw their pennant, Unwilling, fall, As it heeded Nation 's call.

Then the following class officers were chosen: Bertha Wells, President and NValter Powell, Secretary. A few days before school was out in the spring, the class, with Miss Hood, went to Fancy Creek where they had a Picnic Breakfast. September 1921 saw us back in the new building minus twelve mem- bers: Velma McGee, Mallie Parsons, Elda Henderson, Milton Harwood, Eva Dennison, Fern Waddell, Donald Hanner, Thelma Baker, Lionel Dorsett, Wilmur Lawson, Wa.lter Powell, Paul Fishburn and Otto Mor- ris. Une boy, Kenneth Mounce, joined us. We have had one member on the first Basket Ball team this year, Cecil Fay. George Snyder and Kenneth Monnce played on the Midget Team. Five of the class were in the Ministrel Show given in February. lVe are the only class in the school in which there have been no failures all year, in quarterly examinations, and every member of the class will be a full-fiedged Junior next year.

Gladys Constant was elected President, Beula Dennison Vice-Presi- dent, and Marcus Braun Secretary. The first program was given in January. Musical numbers were given by Helen Hickman, Duana Haskell, Louise Vasconcells, the Glee Club and the Sophomore Quartet. V In February, the Freshmen presented two scenes from tl1e Merch- ant of Venice. The cast was as follows :- Portia ............................... Aileen Long Nerissa . . . .... Marie Laffey Shylock . . . . . . Robert Cooper Bassanio .... . . . Chester Trail Antonio ....... ....... E stle McGee Gratiano ......... .. Donald Constant Duke of Venice ................ 4. .- .... Bennie Rush Clerk of the Court .................... Leroy Mecay The third program consisted of a debate on the question, 'Re- solved: That the United States should adopt and maintain a high protective tariff. Affirmative, Gladys McAfee, Marcus Braun and Fred Stuttle, Negative, Marie Brittin, Hazel Burton and Duane Has- kell. The decision was in favor of the Aliirmative. Due to pressure of Work along other lines, no programs were given in April and May. Next year We hope to obtain a better start, and give programs once a month throughout the school year. The opportunity offered by these programs to the students to become accustomed to appearing in public is a Valuable one, and We intend that the Society shall have a secure place in school activities another year. 44 THE STORY OF THE MARIPOSA LILY ' The Mexican Province of California, before it was conquered by the United. States, was owned by Spain. Many priests came from there for the purpose of converting the Indians along the NVestern Coast. They established Mission Stations all along the Coast, about a day's journey apart. These stations extended from San Francisco to San Diego. One of the greatest of the Missions was at Santa Barbara. All these Missions- were built by the Indians under the direction of the Spanish priests. The road which connected this chain of Missions was called El Camino' Real which means the Highway of the King. These Churches were built as places for the Indians to live near and learn the' way of civilized people. They were taught to weave, to make clothes after the Spanish fashion, and to care for the vast orchards and the fields which were tilled by the Priests to furnish food for all the Indians, numbering thousands, at the mission. A few of the Indians did not like this life in the missions and fled, only to be brought back. One Indian chief, with his daughter and her lover fled to the Ojai valley. Some of the soldiers from the mission were sent out to search for them. They were captured and brought back to the mission. , VVithin a few days, they again fled with some companions. In a pitched battle with the soldiers the chief was killed. His daughter, Mariposa and her lover, escaped. Many years later, after gold was discovered in California, and after it had become a possession of the United States, two skeletons, side by side, were found in the Ojai valley. They were believed to be those of Mariposa and her lover, who died of starvation in this valley after escaping from the missions, rather than go back and live with the priests. Interwined with the skeletons was found growing a beautiful flower, which had never been seen in California before this time. It was of a beautiful creamy color with faint streaks of lavender and pink. Some were lightly touched, near the center with crimson, which was believed to be the blood of the unfortunate Mariposa who had suffered and starved to death in the valley so many years before. And thus the most beautiful flower to be found growing in the West today is known as the Mariposa lily. 1 HILDA FULKFIRSON '24 45 THE GLEE CLUB The Glee Club Was organized by Mr. Mounce at the beginning of the year, and was composed for the most part, of Freshmen and Sophomores. The members have met once a Week for practice, besides furnishing music at several school affairs, notably the Literary Club meeting, and the school Assembly. Great things are expected of tl1e Glee Club another year. VVe are looking forward to the formation of a Male Quartet, possibly, if not a Mixed Glee Club. 46 OC lap f Qjgffff ' '11 ,JU ff' iiiiy sv Q, N A ' uf K Nfx Fvf Q.

First came the Sophomore Party. It was held on Hallowe'en and the Sophomores gave their guests a ghostly welcome. The Song of the Classes, to be found on another page, made its first appear- ance that night. Next came the party given by the losing side in the Country Gentleman Contest to the winning side. 'lt was just a regular party, one of the kind where 'ta gineral good time wuz hed b' all. The Annual Christmas party given, in honor of the Alumni and students was held oniDecember 31st, under the efficient management of Mr. Mounce and Miss Plain. The Freshman Class gave a St. Patrick's Day Party. Twenty- seven splotches of greenness and much green and white crepe paper furnished the decorations. During the year the Junior Class gave a Box Social, netting eighty dollars, which was devoted to the Banquet Fund and the Motion Picture Machine. The Annual Junior-Senior Banquet was held on the evening of May 27th, the following was the program of the evening. PROGRAM Toastmaster ....................... . Toast To the Class of1922,' .. ...

Some of the films were shown during the general exercise in the morning. This was made possible through the kind-heartedness of some of the patrons who lent us tarpaulins to darken the skylights. Others were given, to which the general public was invited. The ad- mission fee was asked o11ly to cover expenses. The Go-getter, The Locked Heart and Daddy Long Legs were the Comedy-Dramas given. About eight scientific and educational pictures were shown. Some of these were Life of Caesar, X-Ray, and Glow of the Lamp. Mutt and Jeff and Snub Pollard were two of the six come- dies that we enjoyed this year. Next year it will be possible to bring a great many interesting pictures into the community, at a reasonable cost. In this way the students will see the type of picture not of sufficient interest to the general public to warrant its being shown by motion picture houses. The thanks of the community and the school is due Mr. Mouncc, who instigated the movement, besides operating the machine on all oc- casions. The expense-SF200---was met by the school in various ways. The Juniors contributed from the receipts of their box supper. Candy sales were held on public occasions, amounts great and small, though generally the latter, continued to come in, until February when the Minstrel show gave us the balance of the money needed. 49 f A s ' f - E Us Em Merle KT AGC of fqufM0.

The Mouse Trap confirms our opinion of the nerve of women, and shows the meanness of mere man. Mr. lliillis Campbell plays a joke on the young widow to whom he is engaged, by pretending to see a mouse run across the room. Mrs. Somers flies for the nearest chair, but is overcome by the entrance of several of her friends. The mere mann finds it impossible to con- vince the ladies that the mouse never existed. He is finally exhausted by the effort he makes to get the ladies out of the room alive. Cast Mrs. Amy Somers, The Young Attractive widow .....

Kenneth Mounce gave a group of vocal solos during the evening which were much appreciated. lVc are also grateful to the Community Orchestra which contributed its time both nights, and added greatly to the success of the evening. 53 THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The Commercial Department of the High School was organized in 1920, with Miss Phyllis Collins as instructor. In 1921, Miss Nellie A. Plain, of Brown's Business College was appointed instructor, This past year has witnessed a large enrollment in the department: Hascal Mountz, Arthur Conrey, Marguerite Con- rey, Mildred Fulkerson, Nellie Fishburn, Earl Carter a11d Newton Cun- ningham constituted the bookkeeping class. With the exception of Marguerite Conrey who discontinued the course, the entire class com- pleted the work.

The Junior and Sophomore teams played, the Junior being victorious, the next game was between the Senior and Freshman teams, the former winning. In the finals the Seniors also won, obtaining also a large banner which has held an honored place in the Auditorium. On Oct. 21, our basket ball season opened with a daylight special at Pleasant Plains. Our boys finally went down to glorious defeat, 9-10, after playing a fast and furious game with three periods over time. .The boys enjoyed a fine trip over in an ice-wagon and in Me- cay's and Mr. Mounce's jitneys, with two punctures for variety. Next week, we entertained Dawson for the first game on the home floor, winning 14-5. A splendid spirit of sportsmanship and friendli- ness was shown by the Dawson boys. On Nov. 11th, Smith's tive from Elkhart were our next victims to the tune of 34-8. Morris led in scoring, making 18 points. The following week, we invaded the lion's den at Athens, through a flood, and were badly clawed, 61-8. This was by far our worst defeat ofthe season. Nuff sed. Dec. 2nd, the New Berlinites made their debut on the Wlilliamsville floor and out-lucked us in basket-shooting. They emerged from the scrap at the long end of a 15-10 score. Un Dec. 16th, Young's quintet from Pleasant Plains met defeat here 22-10. This was a lively game, all players being in form. Next week, the team made an excursion to Franklin by way of Vir- den, through ice and sleet, completing the final twenty-nine mile lap in one of Ford's latest Since the heating and lighting plants were frozen up, the game was played by lantern light, the Franklin boys win- ning 16-7. Dec. 30th, the Lincoln boys came down for a holiday game. This was one of our hardest fought games, one overtime period being played. Lincoln emerged the victor to the tune of 21-18. Our first '22 game was played Jan. 6th, with Mt. Pulaski, here, in one of the closest and fastest games of the season, VVilliamsville win- ning 15-13. The Mt. Pulaski Five played a clean game and were good sportsmen. In this, as well as in the Lincoln game, our guards did good Work. Jan. 14th the team motored to Auburn where they met defeat by a score of 24-13. This was a close and hard-fought game, especially through the first half, when we led, 11-8. Dawson made their second visit here on Jan. 20th, being defeated 28--L. Notwithstanding the top heavy score, the Dawson boys played hard throughout and made it a fast game. On Jan. 25th we invaded Lincoln for an afternoon special. Han- son's stars handed us defeat 33-23. Our bovs fought hard and Young did good work until his head and an iron pillar collided at the last of the first half. He survived the shock. but was,unable to show his ability. He scored 18 of Williamsy'ille's 23 points. 58 We acquired the Wabash Blues at New Berlin, Jan. 27th, to the tune of 1.5-3. It seems as though New Berlin is our hoodoo, for we had even worse luck than on the home floor. On the afternoon of Feb. 2nd, our first experience in tournament life began at Athens. The team slept in a class room of the Athens High School. Our first game was with Greenview, in which we lost chance of first place in the Junior Division by a score of 28-18. On the next day we played San Jose, in a one-sided fray, winning 22-5. The next morning we won from Mason City in a moderately close game, 27-13, earning the right to play Greenview again for third place. Here, however, we were defeated in a close battle from start to finish, by a score of 28-22. Paul Young was named Forward on the All-Star Team of the Junior Division. Un Feb. 11th the Auburnites returned our visit and took home the bacon-23-9. This was rather a rough and embittered game. On Feb. 17th, we upheld the Purple and Gold by defeating Franklin here, 19-17, in a hard-fought battle, with three over-time periods. Big Tom Fay made himself known by throwing the last basket which won the game. VVe returned Mt. Pulaski's visit Feb. 24th, their satellites winning easily 34-8, but our boys playing under great difficulty, due to the low ceiling. Mt. Pulaski extended to us the utmost courtesy on all occa- sions. On March 2nd, we went to Jacksonville, to participate in the Class B. Division of the Jacksonville District Tournament. VVe defeated Chapin the first day in a close game 18-16. In the second game we were defeated by Bluffs, 28-16, in a fast, hard-fought game. The season closed with the dinner given the Basket Ball Team by Dr. and Mrs. Stuttle. Mr. Mounee acted as Toastmaster. He re- viewed the history of High School Basket Ball from the beginning to the present day. The next speaker was Fred Duncan, who so ably coached the team last year. He discussed the past year from the view- point of a Fan. He thought the team had progressel greatly during its second year and promised more for next year. The captain disf- cussed the player 's point of view of the year just passed. Coach Lewis presented ten men with Letters. He laid emphasis on the honor to those men entitled to wear the Letter. He then proposed the formation of a Letter Society, membership, limited, of course, to those who have the Letter, the purpose of this Society being to see that no one wears a W unless entitled to, and to honor those who possess it. Coach Lewis also made an iron-clad rule concerning smoking. Smoking next season means the loss of the Letter, in the case of those who have it, or being dropped from the team and rendered ineligible, otherwise. Little round silver balls, charms, to wear on the watch-chain, were presented to those members of the team who graduate, Merle Moore and Earl Carter. This is a custom Mr. Lewis hopes to have continued. Paul Young was unanimously chosen Captain of next year's team. 59 The following' four course dinner was served: SCORE BOARD.

I wasn't a bit nervous about it either.. 12. Classes were organized. I found out that they had to elect four officers. 1.3. Athletic Association was organized. They must have had a fight because there was an awful uproar in that room. 31. Miss Armstrong, our Mathematics and Lati11 teacher was forced to resign on account of poor l1ealth. I wonder if all our teachers are going to resign? OCTOBER 3. I wonder what the difference is between a Basket Ball schedule and a game? Mr. Lewis was trying to arrange one. 4. I don 't think I ever want to study chemistry-they had a fire today, and everyone got the experiment wrong. Then Marie Collins cut her finger. A 5. I didnft know we would have so much fun in High School, but we l1ad the funniest man here today. The Seniors presented l1in1 and they called him Big Rich. I wonder what they presented to him. 6. Zoology class went 011 a specimen hunt, and several of tl1em came back crying-they must have fallen into the creek. 7. Miss Krieder has take11 Miss A rmstrong's place for a few days. I didn't know we would have so many teachers. 10. Dear Me! There is so much excitement these days. They don't do anything but practice Basket Ball, and besides, we have an- other Latin teacher, Milderd Fulkerson. 12. WVe got out of school early today and saw the Basket Ball game between the Juniors and Sophomores. The Juniors won 13-2. 13. We had another B. B. game today. I do11't like basket ball games because the Seniors beat the Freshmen 13-11. 17. I think the Seniors are famous Basket Ball players. They beat the Juniors 8-4. 18. Mr. Lewis chose his B. B. squad today. He must have chosen the wrong one because they went to Pleasant Plains and were beaten 10-9. 24. High School is lots of fun. We l1ad a picture show today en- titled Aesop's Fables. Mr. Allan of the Curtis Publishing Co. talked to us in regard to the sale of 'fThe Country Gentleman. 26. High School life is short and sweet. We had one reel of Cuba, the Isle of Sugar. ' 27. Lots of entertainment today. We had reel No. 2 of Cuba, the Isle of Sugar, and the Freshmen gave us Vachel Lindsay in a re- cital of his own poems. 64 ,,,,,.,.-.-ww cg...-... x Ni YOUNG MEN'S SUITS If It's Not in the Cloth-It's Not in the Clothes!

I worked hard yesterday and saved all my money for the B. B. game tonight. We won from Dawson 14-5. NOVEMBER 1. We didn't have to pay to see the picture show this morning, be- cause we have a picture machine of our own! The name of this morn- ing's show was Revelations 4. I never was so scared! We had the First Quarter Exams today. We had the first number of the Lyceum Course in the evening though, and I felt better. 5. I don 't see how Mr. Mounce can teach,school any more. He moved today from the High School Music Room to the Rue property. 7. Mr. Allan of the Curtis Publishing Co. came again today and gave each side in the Country Gentleman Contest a big send off. 9. It surely is nice to have a picture machine! We had another show today entitled Thomas J efferson Morgan P. J. G. I didn't get my Algebra today, because we had another show, The Benefactor, Life of Thomas A. Edison. 10. School was dismissed at 2:30 today. The different cla.sses got their trees ready for Armistice Day. If I had known we would need a tree, I would have planted one when school began. 11. We planted that tree today, as we had Armistice and Commun- ity Day Celebration at the school. We celebrated the end of a rainy day by a game with Elkhart. WVe won 34-8. 14. The Country Gentleman Contest closed. Merle 's side won. He 's a City Gentleman. H 16. I didn't go to the Basket Ball game at Athens last night, and I'm glad I didn't. The result was W. H. S. 8, Athens 61. 'Nuff said! 20. Mr. Fawcett arrived. 23. Prof. Holden of I. H. C. gave an interesting lecture on agricul- ture and Mr. Pruitt talked on Near Ea.st Relief. School closed for Thanksgiving holidays. DECEMBER 2. W. H. S. 10, New Berlin 15. I don't like Basket Ball at all. The Freshman and Sophomore girls defeated the Juniors and Seniors 11-5. Sophomore class sold popcorn. Which game did the popcorn influence? 8. We have tl1e la.st two reels of the Go-Getter. David Jolm Henry Allen Zaniuss Swackhanner Jr. from Au Prince, Haiti, West Indies, visited the school during the sixth period. He seemed absent minded but I think he was trying to remember his name. 9. Party given for the winners of the Country Gentleman Contest. One thing they had was the appearance of a real country gentleman. He didn 't fool me, I know Burton Pulliam. 66 lllilliamsuillc Township Hiqh School offers to pupils who have completed the Work of the eighth grade, a four year course of study which it is believed will suit the needs of the boys and girls of this community. A splendid Commercial Course is offered including Bookkeeping, Shorthand and Typewriting. Commercial Arithmetic a.nd Commercial Geography. The laboratories for the study of General Science, Biology, Physics and Chemistry are fully equipped. The school is on the list of four year high schools recognized by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and accredited by the Uni- versity of Illinois. The building is modern, being built only a little over a year ago. Country pupils completing the eighth grade this year, are cord- ially invited to give Willianisvfille High School consideration when ar- ranging for more advanced studies. Board here can be obtained as reasonable as in other places, and church facilities are good. Children need not leave home at large expense to get the benefit of a High School Education.

They had two games tonight with both teams of Pleasant Plains. Williamsville won both games. The first team game 22-10 and tl1e second team game 8 1 A 22. They must have known that I didn 't get to see the show, The Stream of Life last night-anyway we had it this P. M. at the school house. School closed for Xmas holidays. Miss Plain went south, Mr. Lewis went north, Mr. Mounce west and Miss Canfield east. 23. Basket Ball team went to Franklin and were defeated by a score of 16-7. They came back broke, for the trip was an expensive one. N. B. Franklin is the pass word. 31. It seems as though we can't go anywhere without having bad luck, because the boys went to Lincoln today and were beaten 18-21. VVell tl1e Homecoming Party was a 'fVVatch Party, at any rate we watched some of the former Basket Ball stars', renew old school days. JANUARY 3. School begins again. I know how to act this time! 7. Well, I beleive Basket Ball is better than I thought. The boys beat Mt. Pulaski tonight 15-13. The curtain raiser was a game between second team and Elkhart Independents. W. II. S. wins 29-7. We are quite victorious over Mounts and llills! 11. You can even learn about electricity in High School, we had a picture this morning entitled the Glow of the Lamp. . 12. I move that we play all tl1e B. B. games on the home floor be- cause both first and second teams were beaten at Auburn tonight, 24-13. 13. IVe had the queerest picture show this morning, it was called The Light of the Race. 20. 0 Dear! Such excitement! We had semester exams today. I don 't know if anyone passed or not. I thought that people already knew how to talk on the tele- phone, but we had a reel this morning telling them. The Sophomores received their pennant this morning to the extreme vexation UU of the Juniors and Seniors. 26. IVe had the first Literary Program this P. M. It was fine, being mostly musical. 28.

Paul Young was placed on the all Star Team of the Junior Division. 15. We had 20 minutes worth of wise advice today, as the Seniors entertained the Assembly. 16. It seems as though one day we have sober entertainers and the next one funny ones. Mr Mounce thinks variety is the spice of life. I asked Bennie Rush who said that and he said either Billy Jones or Rip Van VVinkle. We nobly gave the school two scenes from the Merchant of Venice. I 17.

We have come to the conclusion that the Flu is fond of the Faculty. 10. It seems as though the teachers had to go to school today some- where in Springfield. Anyhow we didn 't. The Seniors had their pictures taken for the annual, after the girls consulted the ha.ir dresser. 15.

Reisch FRESH AND SALT MEATSI OYSTERS IN SEASON Willizllinsville, Illinois 83 A Sample Laboratory. On Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays there is a general rush in school for the Sophs have laboratory on these memorable days. lVhen the bell rings at the end of the first period, every Soph jumps up and almost runs into the laboratory, but the Freshmen coming back from Algebra two seconds later, meet half of the Sophs coming back for for- gotten pens, lost erasers, and blotters. All in the laboratory and settled at last. Mr. Fawcett says: Bring your pans and get your specimens, two at each table. After some discussion as to which are the best specimens, we are settled once more. Mr. Fawcett then comes around delivering the cases of tools. After each table has its case, Mr. Fawcett orders us to work. XVhen everyone is well started on the fish butchering business, Kenneth concludes he wants to say something to Milton, who is at the same table, and accordingly says it-but to Mr. Fawcett 's horror he says it too loudly. Mr. Fawcett then advances to Kenneth's table with a menacing look and orders him to stop that undertone. Settled once more, Marian discovers she has forgotten her drawing paper. Upon being informed that there is none, she settles down to make the best of what she has, and peace reigns among us once more. Bertha discovers some minutes later that she has forgotten her hand- kerchief and remembering that she has a very bad cold, she gets per- mission to get it. This being granted, Florence who has a very bad cough, is reminded of the fact that she needs a drink and after assuring Mr. Fawcett that no one will see her, she goes after it. Once more all is quiet, until all of a sudden, an explosion of laughter is heard at the iirst table on the south side. This table being occupied by Aileen Moyer and Mary, we know that nothing really funny has happened, but to be sure Mr. Fawsett tells them that they are finding things more funny than anyone else. They are no sooner settled than the terrible fact is discovered that Irma is studying Caesar, and Mr. Fawcett in complete exaspcration hears the bell ring for the close of the laboratory period and disgustedly watches the merry Sophs pass out.

Alili KINIJS Ulf' HEPA IHS AND REPAIR IVOHK IVilliznnsvillo, Illinois S5 BURIED GOLD ln early days, when gold was first discovered in California, it was the custom of the people who lived on the ranches to take in all the strangers wl1o came and asked to be taken in for the night and to treat them as friends. Un this particular oceasion a small pox epidemic was raging in California. It was a very contagious disease. One day a man came to the home of Mr. Brown who had a ranch in the Santa Clara Valley, to be taken in for the night. lt was very late in tl1e evening and the ranches were so far apart that darkness would overtake him before he would have time to reach another house. Mr. Brown took tl1e stranger in and entertained him as an old friend. The next morning he was found to be a victim of the small- pox. Mr. Brown was very much excited, but cared for the stranger as though he were a friend of long standing. One day after the stranger had become very ill, he called Mr. .Brown to his bedside and told him that he buried one tl1ousa11d dollars in his yard under a lone oak tree in an old tin ean. In a few days this man died. After he was buried, Mr. Brown, went out to look for the money. He dug under several oak trees in the yard, but found nothing and gave up the search, thinking the story untrue. Twenty years later his son, who was then a small boy, remembered having heard his father tell this story. He Went out to search. In the yard he found an oak tree standing by itself, which he remembered as a small tree when he was a. boy. Upon digging he found an old tin can which seemed very light. He started to open the can, but remembered that the Indians believed that if anyone who had a contagious disease, buried an empty tin can the germs would leave him and go into the ean. He threw the can down and buried it again without opening it, because it was believed by the super- stitious people, that the one who opened the can would have the desease. No other person to this day has dared to dig up and open this can under the lone oak tree so people do not know whether any- thing was ever buried under the lone oak tree on this ranch or whether it's owner just told this story to Mr. Brown.
