MAIN'S LETTER TO THE SENIORS Members of the Senior Class: The bonds which held us together for the past two years are soon to be severed. Soon, too soon perhaps, you must go out into the various fields of life to battle for ex- istence, a battle in which only the fittest survive. During the past two years we have tried to teach you honesty, self-reliance, and responsibility. If we have succeeded, then it has all been worth while, if we have failed, then despite the high rating of our school, it has failed to meet its responsibility. In the two years that I have known you, I have learned to admire you, individually and as a class. You have faced issues and met them squarely, and have developed a leadership that I did not suspect when I first met you. I can only hope and pray, as I follow you through life, that I see you pick places of honor and responsibility which can only be denied you because you failed to take advantage of your opportunities. I doubt if any class as a whole that ever graduated from W. T. H. S. has shown the leadership you have. Always alert, most of you have measured up to your responsibilities. The future holds much for you a11d if you only follow the lessons you have been taught, success is sure to be yours. Please be men and women that stand for the better things of life, fight evil wher- ever it does show its face, think for yourself and be not puppets in the hands of those who would use you only for their own gainf' All cannot be leaders, but you can be honest, upright citizens. The reason for the present conditions is the fact that proper training has not been given to all people. It is with a heavy heart that I bid you goodbye, but never will I forget your co- operation with me, and even though a few of you were antagonistic to our methods of conducting a school, and were supercritical of our student control, I will always believe it was because you would not inform yourselves on this subject. If we have disagreed-all is forgotten and forgiven. May your future life be happy, prosperous, and filled with an unbounding faith in this world and the one to come. Such being the case, you will succeed. Goodbye and good luck. Geo. O. Main, Principal of W. T. H.

Training for life by having to meet situations which resemble, to some extent at least, the real situations of life, is fast becoming the theory and practice of good schools. In view of these facts, the faculty and students of the Williaiiisville Township High School decided to give student government a trial. After much labor and thought, a tentative constitution was written, presented to the students, and was finally adopted, after some changes, in 1930. The nature of this governing agency is as follows: The student council, whose duty is to see that the provisions of the constitution are carried out, is composed of two members elected from each class, a president elected by popular vote of the student body, and a faculty adviser. The vice-president and the secretary-treasurer are elected from the council members. This year a great deal of stress was placed on the election of the council repre- sentatives and the president. Before the elections, qualities and duties of such member- ship were discussed at length in the home rooms. After nominations were made, each nominee promised that if he were elected he would perform the duties of that office to the best of his ability. The class representatives were elected in their respective home rooms. Nominations for the president were made in the home rooms, then cam- paign speeches for each candidate were made before the assembly. The voting was carried out like a regular election, by secret ballots in the different precincts or home rooms. Election returns from each precinct were counted and read. The council officers this year are as follows: President, Mildred Dye: Senior representatives, Dorothy Lawson, Merl Smith, Junior representatives, Alberta Patterson, Taylor Stittg Sophomore representatives, Frances Carter, Donald Lercherg Freshman representatives, Mary Jane Brittin, Emmet Britting Faculty adviser, Miss Williams. The council, under the efficient and capable leadership of Miss VVilliams, has carried out some worth while activities this year. They have had complete control of the library, appointed head librarians and assistants to care for it every period of the day: they appointed students to care for the study hallg they arranged for assembly programs and entertainments, they checked and recorded attendance and tardinessg-they super- vised and decided all matters concerning the extra curricular activities of the schoolg they made and enforced any rules they felt were for the betterment of the school, they worked out a system for checking each class every six weeks for the citizenship trophy which is given by the Board of Education to the class having the best record. These are only a few of the worth while activities of the student council. It does 11ot attempt to handle technical affairs for which the principal, faculty or janitor is responsible. The principal has the power of veto, but does not exercise this power only in very excep- tional cases, because the council realizes that its powers are delegated to it by the principal and that it will be held responsible for its actions. Student government in our school is only two years old but the splendid results have certainly justified its existence. Student government will develop only through successful accomplishments which the school and community can see and appreciate. lllIlllIlllIIllIllIIllIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN1 932llllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIllIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Fourteen Ill lllll ll llll Illlll llllllllllllll , , 5 r i 4.

The faculty re- cataloged and re-arranged it last year and at the beginning of this year. It now contains about six hundred sixty volumes. This year, new books, valued at one hundred seventy- five dollars, were added, and seventy-five dollars worth of magazines were subscribed for. The Student Council appointed Anna Ferguson for the Hrst semester, Wilbur Max and Jane Bourne for the second semester, to act as head librarians. Their duties are to check out books during the times when school is not in session during the morning, the noon hour, and after school. It is also their duty to see that all books are in on time. During every period of the day there is a different student appointed by the Student Council to act as librarian for that particular period for six weeks. It is his duty to care for the library during that period, sign permits which each student must present when he comes into the library, get books from the shelves for the students, check out books and magazines, and keep general order. Because of this excellent means of supervision, the library has come to be a place for which it is intended that it should be-a place of quiet for study and work. Much credit is due to the members of' the Student Council and Miss Williaiiis for their work on this problem, to the excellent service of the head librarians, and to the co-operation of the student body.

How well I do rememberg I think of it and sigh, That bright morning in September, As I think of the four years gone by. Our school days will soon be overg Our book work will soon be doneg A glance at our past life together Proves Life's lessons have just begun. We shall travel the long, hard trail To the goal they call success . Though some of us may fail, We can all say we've given our best. We'll soon be on our way, friends, To iight Life's battles as we go ong But by experience alone can we make amends And say to Life's foes, 'Tm ready, come on. Treat your neighbor rightg Always plav the game squareg Then evervthing's bound to come out all right. An'l you'll be treated fair. When the world looks black, And things are goin' wrong, Put your shoulder against the wheel And smile, and keep hummin' that little song. So grit your teeth and bear it, And take it like a mang And in the encl you'll win out, If you'll smile and say UI can . So, as Seniors we'll move onward, And we'll start right on our Way. And from our hearts we'll do our part, 'Till we meet on Judgment Day. Albert Shearl.

H. S. Trail. It would take four years to travel the road. On the trip we were promised great sights which knowledge alone can give. As our guide we chose Miss Williams, also new to the road that year. W'e encountered many stones on the road, but because of our guide, we leaped over them successfully and succeeded in finding many rare pleasures and treasures. Among the rare gifts deeded to this class of boys and girls were those precious gems of Friend- ship and Loyalty to one another, with which no other can easily surpass us. We traveled happily, stopping once in a while for weiner roasts and other enter- tainments and amusements. After a year we came to a large bend in the road. Although many had dropped out of this great race for knowledge, the rest of us Went happily on. For fear that Miss Williams would become wearied of us, we selected Miss White as our able guide and instructor. As in the first year of our journey, we traveled very easily and successfully, competing and meriting high honors in music and scholastic events. Then we rounded the third great curve of the road. This year we gave a very successful play, The Little Clodhopperf' and also had our weiner roast. We were very much honored this year in having the two highest officials among the guards on the journey, the president and vice-president of the Student Council. Now we have rounded the last great bend and have reached our goal, Graduation . Dimly and rosily colored ahead of us we see the Future , To those who have helped us and made our journey a success, we owe unmeasured gratitude. To Mrs. Magill, who has walked with us along the way the last two years, we give unbounded thanks. Our senior play was also successfully staged and many happy times have been enjoyed this last year. Now we must leave our tracks in the good old W. H. S. Trail and start on a longer, more powerful one, in which we will have 110 guide, except the knowledge we have gained. VERA McINTYRE.

Dear Mrs. Magill: I received your letter asking for a story in connection with my recent trip, only yesterday. I am at work on a novel now but I shall take time out to tell you about my trip because it was so pleasant in every way that I'nx sure you will enjoy it. It all began when Dorothy Maxwell, who is head of the Maxwell Kindergarten School in Springfield, asked me to go with her to visit our old friends, Mr. and Mrs. Earle Perce. Earle is basketball coach at the U. of I. and his team has had almost phenomenal success. I wrote Dorothy telling her that I would join her at Chicago on October fifteenth. I chose Chicago because one of our old classmates, Dorothy I-Iankins, was head nurse at a sanitarium there. We completely surprised her by our unexpected arrival. After the excitement was over, Dorothy exclaimed, Oh, girls, Lucille Peratt is one of my patients. Did you know she had been dancing on Broadway? The life proved too strenuous and she had a nervous breakdown. Guess who is taking care of her! None other than the eminent Dr. Shearl! Albert's rise was swift and he is a millionaire now so he cares only for those patients in whom he has a personal interest. Don't whisper a word of it but I believe there is more than friendship in this case. After that we just had to see Lucilleg we found her, beautiful as of old, and Doc just as handsome. He was holding her hand when we entered--he said he was taking her pulse--but we knew better. We were obliged to leave the hospital early because we had an appointment with the hair dresser. Imagine our amazement when we found the proprietor of the dis- tinguished establishment to be Randolph Fowler! The furnishings of the establishment were so unique that we could not help exclaiming over them. Jack pointed to a picture of James Wise. He made, or rather designed, them all. James is an interior decorator and designer of modernistic furniture. VVe chatted with Randolph so long that we barely reached the station in time to board our train. We had been seated only a few minutes when we heard the laughter of a group of men in the rear of the train. We turned and stared. A tall, dark haired man was explaining the advantages of a rubber reducing belt. Can it be? Why, it's Ralph! we both exclaimed. At last he has found an outlet for his gift of gab! Ralph saw us and came rushing. In the course of a few miles he told us he was married, the father of twins, was on his way to visit john Wiebking, who is a scientific farmer, and that Merl Smith is the owner of an airport and several planes. After Ralph left us, we decided to purchase some frocks between train stops. It seemed that we were to be surprised once more that day, for Marjorie Bourne was the proprietor of a shop modeled after a Parisian one. VVe each purchased a dress, although the price was ruinous. We asked Marjorie what had become of Opal and Dorothy Nix. Opal is married a11d living near Elkhart. Her name is now Mrs. Clarence Miller. Dorothy is running a boarding house for school boys and girls in Willianisville. She still loses her temper occasionally but she gets along with her boarders well because she remembers when she was young and foolish. When we reached Champaign, Earle met us in his powerful car. We reached his home in just a few minutes and Mildred welcomed us with all her old time grace. VVe had a delightful visit with them. That night we Went to the theater. Anna was the star of the picture and Mar- guerite the headliner of the vaudeville. On the last day of our visit, Wilbur came. For some time We had tried to locate Vera, and Wilbur gave us news of her. He had received a circular from a summer resort where she was hostess. Oh, I nearly forgot to tell you that Wilbur is a very wealthy stock broker. This letter is getting to be a newspaper, and my husband is calling me, so I must close. Yours very sincerely, ' VVILMA TURNER.

These giants were called Latin, Algebra, and names that we still hear of today. This was in the year of nineteen twenty-nine. Two of the knights were overcome by these awful monsters, but the rest of us fought bravely on. We stopped for a while to rest our horses and had a weiner roast. We continued on our way for a while and finally stopped to celebrate Christmas and the birth of a new year. At the end of nine months we had overcome these giants and deserved a rest. After a period of three months rest we continued on our way to overcome more giants. Geometry and Latin II were among these giants. They were brothers to Algebra and Latin I. These giants were not overcome so easily. This year we had a council made up of other knights besides those in our own band. Only eighteen of us were left to. fight. We fought, and then decided to have another Weiner roast. A little later on we had a carnival. All of the bands joined together in a good time at this affair. We fought again and at last mastered these giants. Now in 'thirty-one we are wearing a lighter shade of green than before. There are only thirteen of us left. VVe have a council again this year and we think it is a fine thing. Our band is planning a play to be given before long. We are going to give the highest tribe, called the Seniors, a banquet in the Spring. We are after more monsters now and are going to conquer them too. We hope to do even greater things next year. - VIRGINIA SHUCK.

T. H. S.--'30-'3lf' The motors began to roar and the great ship took-off from the smooth Held. Mr. Brown was our pilot. He managed the ship well, with its twenty-nine jolly pas- sengers. Elizabeth Kennedy was chosen captain of the crewg John Cooper, lieutenant- captain, and Larry Harwood, mechanic. The mechanism of the machine was too com- plicated for Larry who handed over his job to Donald Lercher. John Cooper and Elizabeth Kennedy were chosen to represent us in the Student Council. The great ship roared over the large continent of Algebra, where dwells the family of Problems. This family tried to capture the passengersf Most of them escaped these murderers, but a few were captured and will have to traverse the horrible land again this year. The ship was now over the Latin sea. The plane dropped into the wavesg all were saved but two or three who were overcome by the waves of Translation. A rescue party was SC11t out and the ship was once more in the air. We landed in Johnstone's pasture for a Weiner roast that was enjoyed by all. We also sailed over Africa and captured many freaks which we exhibited at the high school carnival. Having sailed over the Physiography and English Mountains, we realized our journey was almost done. On the last of May the great ship landed at a summer re- sort on the shore of the Sophomore Sea. We spent June, July and August on this beautiful shoreg and on the thirty-first of August we boarded the spacious liner the UU. S. S. Williamsville High School. We numbered only twenty-six this year, with Frances Carter a new passenger. We landed on a small island and let Larry Harwood off, who thought the waves were too high. We were steaming away from this island when we heard a cry. We sent back a boat which picked up Helen Lloyd, who wished to join our crew. Miss White is the pilot of the ship. Kenneth McGee was elected captain of the vessel, with John Cooper as first lieutenantg Geraldine Johnstone was chosen ship's mechanic. Donald Lercher and Frances Carter were chosen to sit in the Student Council's chair of au- thority. We stopped on Iohnstone's Island for a weiner roast. Some of the people chose to go different routes, but most of them chose to g0 through the Latin II Canal, which passes through the Isthmus of English. The Gates of Vocabulary in this canal are very tricky and must be watched closely or they will be closed on the ship and all will be drowned in the black waters of Translation. The Isthmus of English is infested with very large mosquitoes, which spread the Theme Fever. This disease is deadly and must be doctored carefully. After these places are passed the ship will go into the open sea of Geometry. There are many rocks and sand-bars in this seag and the ship must be guided care- fully through this. This great ocean is not all worry and trouble. We stopped to have a Ha110WC'Cn party which was followed by an All-School party. We are headed for the junior shore which we soon hope to reach.

The first center of attraction was the Williamsville Township High School. We stopped there for a year. William Brittin was our pilotg Helen Baxley was chosen to help pilot the shipg Roger Crawford was chosen to help take care of our financial businessg Miss Williams was our navigator for the year, and we all liked her very much. We had two representatives on the student council. Our first social event was a weiner roast on October 2. We had a very good time there. The Freshmen and Sophomores had a Hallowe'en party on October 22. We had a large attendance there which helped our citizenship record. The Freshmen played a big part in the HAH School party on October 30. lrVe had some boys on the basketball team. The Freshmen had a fine time on this trip and hope to ride in a higher altitude on our next flight. MARY JANE BRITTIN.

From a rather ragged start the team progressed rapidly and played a good brand of ball prior to and during the Athens-Greenview tournament. Losing the final game to the strong' Athenians did not detract from the glory of the second place trophy. After the Christmas holidays and vacation, sickness and a loss of morale played havoc with the team. As the season neared its end, the team seemed to slump more and more. To make matters worse, when the District Tournament pairings were received, it fell our lot to meet the strong Mt. Pulaski team, a team who had defeated such teams as Lincoln, Athens and Canton. After trailing by nine points, at the half, the Williaiiis- ville boys were within striking distance during the two remaining quarters and threw a realscare into their opponents before losing by a five point margin. The following are eligible to receive basktball letters: Ralph Gussrnan, Merl Smith, Albert Shearl, Jay Smith, Taylor Stitt, Hayward Armes, John Cooper and Donald Lercher. Although the loss of Gussman, M. Smith, and Shearl by graduation will be keenly felt to next year's team, we are anticipating a fast and well balanced team.

Eligibility to membership in this society is limited to those boys earning an athletic letter in one of the four major sports, or letters in two minor sports, and whose average in their school work for three consecutive semesters is equal to, or higher than the general average of the school, and who have exemplified the highest type of citizenship and sportsmanship. Those belonging to this society during the past three years are: Donald Laffey, Fred Minder, Merl VVakeHeld, Percy Moore, Howard l.istcn, NVayne Smith, Leroy Max, Richard Yocum, Harold Coons, Earle Perce, Ralph Gnssman, and Taylor Stitt. We have five new members in the society this year: Merl Smith, Donald Lercher, John Cooper, Albert Shearl, and VVilbur Max. These boys have won their letter in basketball. Each member should be honored for maintaining a high scholastic standing and still giving time for athletics.

But it has been the tendency in most high schools to give the attention to the training of a few outstanding athletes and winning teams while the remainder of the student body has had very little part in physical activities. However, the emphasis is shifting to the physical development of the school as a whole, and physical training has become a part of the regular curricular work. The state law now requires that every student shall have at least one hour of physical training each week. In our school this year we have reorganized our program so as to make it possible for each boy and girl to have the required amount of time for physical education. The physical training period is the fifth period each day. As long as the weather is good., the classes meet outside and play tennis, volley ball, or baseball. Work in the gymnasium consists of calisthenics, group games, volley ball, and basketball. Later in the season interclass tournaments were held for both the girls and boys. They created a great deal of interest and enthusiasm. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The girls interested in athletics met with Mr. Wetzel and Miss Williams and organ- ized the Girls' Athletic Association. Those who had observed the health rules given us by Mr. Wetzel, signed a pledge, stating that they had done so. The following olificers were elected: Frances Carter, Presidentg Alice Johnstone, Vice-Presideutg VVilma Turner, Secretary. New members will be admitted whe11 they have observed the health rules for two consecutive weeks and have written a suitable paper on the value of physical education. By a point system which has been worked out, advancement is made toward higher membership. When we become Senior members we will get a purple and gold letter. If we become Star members a star will be added to it. BOYS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The boys who had received letters in either basketball or track met shortly after the beginning of school and formed an Athletic Association. They elected the following officers: President, john Cooperg Vice-President, Jay Smithg Secretary-Treasurer, Ralph Gussman. The boys who were eligible for membership were: Wilbur Max, Albert Shearl. Hayward Annes, Jay Smith, Ralph Gussman, Merl Smith, Taylor Stitt, John Cooper and Earl Perce.
