FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF CHAMPAIGN HIGH SCHOOL THEy ar 1917 mark. the fiftieth anniv r.~ary of the founding of Champaign High chool. Two core and t n year: ago, Champaign High 'chool came into e.·ist nee in a small building, on the corner of Randolph and Hill treet ·.better known a.· the "Little Brick". Then b gan her hard upward . truggle, fir. t for e.·i:tence, later for recognition, and finally for winning a place with the be t econdary chool · in the tate. o , ith fifty year.· for a background, her teady ad ancement can be viewed, in an undeviating line, toward the d ired goal. For fifty year:-, I.~abor Omnia l' in cit ha be n the keynote of h r for vard progre' . ... row ·he ha r ached her goal, and has taken her plac ' '•ith th . institution.' of learning. Her aim :hould be in the future to hold this place; ye:, not only to rank with the be.·t econdary .·chool , but to . urpa: · them.

A f w year: ago, when ther, wa promi:-e of the beautiful building 'e are now occupying, 1i.. witzer .·ugg t d that the growth of the high school :hould be tabulated in a permanent form, and that the data concerning it. advancement :hould be collected and filed away for reference. Thi wa. don . In th 71fa1'oon for 1914 a hi. torical revi w of the . chool up to that y ar i given. The following i .. u . carry forward the hi tory to the I: asley, Minnie-.._"tudying

pr ent year. A careful reading of these reviews . hows that the greatest advancement has been within the present century. 1 Taturally the que ·tion ari. es, "Why is this true'!" Why does the enrollment of Champaign High School urpas that of other cities of the same size, and equal that of cities twic her ize? There can be but one an wer: hampaign High chool ha be n subjected to no violent change. All of her change , under the guidance of ii:s witzer, have been gradual; greate t of all harmony ha: ·i t d between the Principal and the uperintend nt, and th uperintend nt and the Board of .I<.ducation.

What ha the pre ent year done for the advancement of hampaign High chool? The new building ofl'er manifold opportunitie · for impro ement in the curriculum to meet the demands of the community. 'l'he contribution of 1916-1917 i enlarging the cour e of tudy. The first two year' are, in the main, the . arne for all student.. Little choice i: given.

1 h Ia t two years, however, there i more freedom. The cour e offered thi year for the first time are Spanish, Bu ines~ Law, Economics, Commercial Arithmetic, a econd year of l\1anual Training, Commercial Geography, and Physical Training for both boys and girls.

In addition to enlarging the curriculum an attempt has been made to bring the school in closer touch with the community, and the community need , and thus increa. e its efficiency. With this in mind, it wa: . ugge:ted to the Maroon editor to interview variou. busines · men in order to obtain their view of the high school, and to listen to their ·ugge tion. for bringing about a closer relation with the school. This was done. About fifty l.m ·ine. s men were visited; thirty were interviewed and asked to state their view in writing; twelve did so. The letters received are published in full:

. H. S. "Maroon": orne claim bu..:ine. s men are born, not made. That i no more true of busines. · men than of race horse·. Whoever heard of a race hor. e winning a raC'e without being trained.

The race in commerce sets a faster pace today than ever before, and the man who wins in the future will not only have to be a thoroughbred, but trained to the minute. Champaign ha ·gone to great trouble and e. ·pense to give her boys and girls the best start in the race of life, and when we of today are old and look over those who follow us in the life of our community, it is our fond fancy that our hearts will swell with pride over their honor, diligence, and success. If we can do :o, no small part of it will be due to the opportunitie. afforded them in C. H. S. 0. B. DOBBINS . H. S. "Maroon" In the question: "Is our high .·chool doing all it can to fit it. boy and girls for active lif ?"-you are opening up a large que tion.

C. H. S. ''Maroon": I do not b lieve that the people or bu ·ine: men of hampaign take the proper intere:t in the high school. The rea. on for this i probably becau e of the comple.· laws which govern the .·chools, and which would take much .·tudy to under:tand.

DR. GRAY

. H .... '' faroon": A: an employer: High . chool training i. almo:t n .. ary in very in:tance to make a fir. t class clerk. J. ot alway. . o much for the rea on of e.·act thing. learned in . chool, but becau. e of the training of the mind, and the capacity to grasp the meaning of variou. cla:-;sification.- of work; and the ability to draw certain conclu ion from work they are doing or apt to do. It is a great handic-ap not to have a high school education.

Above all thing: we sugge. t some little time be given to el mentary bu ine . tran. action., a. the writing of check. and not" , the correct way of endorsing negotiable instruments, and particularly handwriting. Al. o a knowledge of bookkeeping, the ability to take note.- in . hort hand, and some practicable experience with the typewriter, will be b •neficial to the individual no matter what hi futur, line of work.

DR. SPEARS

. H. S. "Maroon": There is no doubt in the mind of any observing man but that the standard of efficiency of the Champaign High School ha been raised from year to year to keep pace with and possibly ahead of the times.

That it has progressed with the most progressive institutions of the land, physically and intellectually, keeping in the front ranks of the proce. sion, a it were, almo.·t goes without saying.

It seems to me then, that it i · up to the boy to get enough elementary training from the Champaign High School to ·tart him right, in almost any business career provided he has taken advantage of all the splendid opportunities offered him in the high school course~.

I have heard some comments from the boy., complaining about the method of assignment of studies and of not giving them a chance at their choice of subjects or courses from which to qualify. However, as this is but the boys' side of the question and as there is always another side to all questions, this criticism may be unjust.

By the way, what has become of the fine high school ba ball spirit'? With the splendid gymnasium and the equipment and McKinley Field for practice, the . wimming pool for conditioning, it . eems to an "Old l• an" there should be no further inspiration necessary; but if it is a matter of moral or financial support from the business men and "Old Grad ", we arc with you.

W. R. BRADLEY. C. II. S. "Maroon": l have known .·o many :ucce:s ·ful men who have in former year. attended our Champaign High School that you boys . hould regard yourselves a::; fortunate in being able to attend as well-equipped high chool where o many fine fellow:-; have attended.

. H. S. " 1aroon": I have observed for a considerable number of year., the graduates of the hampaign High ._ chool and am of the opinion that th y are well up in the first rank of high chool graduates. Thi , I believe, to be due mainy to the fact that they have been under a well-balanced "yst m of education, which ha not been narrow in laying all the empha i on the intellectual, but ha taken into consideration th phy;~ical education a · well, which fact tend to mak for s If-reliance and efficiency in whatever line of endeavor they take up in th future.

J. H. FIN H . H. S. '' 1 faroon": I think it would be well if our bu. ines~ men would take more interest in our high school and help the Board of Education olv their many problems. It would also help encourage our boy to go out for athletics. Personally, I mi . ed just one football game last fall so you .'ee my batting average i;; pretty good.

BERT F-LSO ', l 99 . . H. S. "M~aroon'': 'I he mo. t . ati.·fying proof any of u. ~ hould requir that hampaign's High School is fulfilling its mission is found in the score of men who we're once boy.· in the high school, now leading in the businc.'. and professional life of the city, and in the scon•s of women, once girls in the high school, who are the flower of womanhood of the city.

Champaign High School is reputed as being one of the be. t in the .·tate; Champaign's taxpayer. should not be content until it is conceded as being the very best. itie are rated by the efficiency of their public school systems more than by any other standard.

Thi. city being the home of the University of Illinoi., makes it known far and wide as the state's educational center. 1 egardle s of what it co ·ts to make it .·o, Champaign'~' High School . hould lead the front rank as the best high school in Illinois.

ORVILLE L. DAVIS.

C. H. S.: Answering your query as to whether the high school i doing all it can to fit the boy.· and girls for after life-work, I have to ay that this question is diflicult to answer in a few words.

I feel that the high school is in a large way fulfilling it. mi: ion in that it i instilling a love for hard work in the hearts and oul of those boys and girls who are willing to take school work seriou ly.

There are many young people who are having such a good time going to chool that their most important job seems to be to multiply ClaJJJU 1·,

flcnnctt, George-Golf I I· unrtern 1

opportunities for play. The e young folks wake up about the middl of their sophomore year in college-or if they don't go to college, they wake up after they have lo t a couple of good job and go without cigarettes and candy for a few months.

As to what studies a student hould pur ue-the practical mind think reading, vriting, and arthmetic . ufficient-other. vant the. amplified by vocational effort. that teach boy. and girl to work with hand and brains. People who think the e efforts are ufficient are oppo. ed to Latin, 'reek, and m dern language..

Personally, I can not regard a man or woman a properly trained who mi spells and mi pronounce words we all should know. . . o amount of technical kill can atone for con. tant mi u e of adjective and verb .

I, therefore, feel that th high school that compels young folk to take a balanced curriculum-one designed to fill practical wants and at the same time inculcate a de. ire to become proficient in the use of hngli. h or some other language.-that lead. to a. study of Literature, Art·, and the Humanities, i · the high :chool that i;~ fulfilling in a large measure the mission for which it is designed. I believe our high chool is working toward: this end, and I heartily endor:e its efforts.

Yours truly, C. A. KILER.

THE LIBHARY

THE Board of Education has the sincere thanks of every in:-;tructor and :tudent in the high school for extending the facilitie.' of the library.

To have the library open from ~ ::10 A. ~I. to •1 ::w P. M., and in charge of a librarian have been of invaluable a::istance to the Engli. h and Hi. tory departments, in particular. All drawing of book. and reference work have been through the librarian, who work: under the supervi. ion of ML·s Vratz. Miss Kratz permits books to be drawn for an indefinite time from the city library. We thank the ity Library Board and Miss Kratz for their assi.·tance.

MEMORIAL LOOM THIS year, Mr . B. F. HaiTi. pre:ent d to the hampaign High School, a Swedish loom in memory of Lois Capron, '16. It will be known as the Lois Loom.

The Household Science Department is fortunate to have a loom added to its general equipment. It will be used by the textile classes. Patterns for runners, tray cloths, rugs, and articles without end, will fir. t be de. igned; then they will be woven on the loom. The loom offers innumerable opportunities for handiwork.

E the declaration by ongre s that a . tate of war exists with Germany, the realization of the great conflict into which the nation ha. entered has come home to every one, even the students in high Rchool. It is true only a few high school students have volunteered for service in the ranks, but a large number have become members of the army behind the ranks. The lack of food at this critical period called forth well-known edict from Governor Louden. The Board of Education, following thi · edict, ruled that students in the Champaign High School could \ •ithdraw from school May 1, and that they would receive full credit in all their courses for the semester, providing that they 'll't'1'l' passiug in all of their coU1'.<Jl s up to that date, and that ne.rt Septembe1· thf'?J could show a certificate l:OU('hin,q that th JJ u ae food producers and u•age em·1w1·.-; jo1· tlu·c months A a re.-ult of thi ruling, many boy and a few girL left Rchool to work on the farm.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY

By E:ther Van Doren, '17

po •n

year ago many little girl. and boy entered hampaign High School. The faculty had never looked upon . uch face , fac . burning with eagerne:. and longing for greater knowledge, a \'ell a for fun and frolic; h arts det rmin d to rais to the tar. th nam and fam of hampaign High chool. Perhap it may be th ught that th . e . turdy, honest, little people were as green as th pring gra s. B that a it may, neverthele:., the haughty, high-brow ophomore ery . eld m . ucc ecled in hi: tr acher u. attempt· to ridicul the fre hman of • e • nt n.

During all the fir t year, th e docile fr hmen w re watching, waiting, and profiting by the good example: . et by the kind and loving junior· and :enior:. Th next fall, however. th r "a a change. Th y no longer r :train d their enthu ia m nor withh ld th ir gr at 1 no \'l dg . The cia. wa: repre ntated in variou activiti -fo tl all, track, and debate.

A very important feature wa. the debating conte t between th ophomore: and junior:. Atlhough the final deci ion wa. four to t vo in favor of their opponent , neverthele..·, th . ophomore. bore th ir d f at h roi ly, de nwre, and all w re comf< rted by the loyalty of their cla~ mat .

Early in the third year, Seventeen organized, adopted a con:titution, and selected pretty, little class pins. Then followed a clas leap-year party, and the annual Junior-. enior reception. r\ever did th junior neglect their .:;tudie: and by :o doing, call down upon their heads th wrath of their esteemed instructors.

Three year: of hapm• high chool life pa :eel all too quickly. These three years hav had what effect upon the Ia. of S v nt n? In what re::;p ct: are they fitte l to . u:tain the honor of th ir high chool? In. tead of little girl: and boy:, they are young ladie. and gentlemen, who are an. ·iou.· to a ..'ume the role of dignified : nior · in order to eli play their talent . orne have political a ·piration .. a d . ire to 1 ad in oratory and debate; other hav learned to blow :moke ring. grac fully through their finger and tie bow-tie:-the:e are few; :till other. ha\ e eli tingui. heel them:elve in athletic: and ae:thetic:. ..'o, due to • e\ nteen, hampaign High chool boa:t: of a thou. and per cent. football team, a . ucce . ful interschola. tic d bat , a stunt .·hO\ •, an opera, a fay Day Pageant, a . enior play, and placing both in extempore and oratory. Their patriotic . pirit is :hown by their unanimous vote in favor of giving up the senior dance-by long established custom, the clo.·ing social e ent of th enior year-and of making a gift to th American Red ros. , ociety instead. A. a memorial, they arc giving the fourth panel of th Iliad I• ri ze. At last on June fourth, nineteen hundred and . eventeen, ninety-~:dx student vill claim the reward for all labor, a diploma.

By Frank K. Robeson, Jr., '17 THE fiftieth anniversary of the Champaign High School is a suitable occasion for the review of athletics. The Maroon for the year 19091910 gives a hi. tory of football from the beginning to that issue. The annuals following continue the history to the present year. This issue, for the sake of compariRon, gives a summary for the last Reven year:;;, or from 1910.

It is interesting to note that within the la:;;t six years Champaign has had two one-thou:;;and per cent. teams-1912, 1916; has held three downtate championship-1912, 1914, 1916; has won the Craig Cup for which he competed with Urbana-1911, 1912, 1913, 1914.

179 to 19 The above records prove that if hampaign is given the material, enthu.·iastic support, a good coach, and a wise director, she can put out win~ing teams. This year Champaign has had all four requirements and as a result she has a one thousand per cent. team and holds the downstate championship.

In the history of athletics in every school, sooner or later, comes what i known as a slump year,-a year when everything goes wrong. Such was last year. Champaign profitted by this experience. It was for this reason that Miss Switzer requested that the coach for athletic sports be made a member of the faculty. The value of having the athletic coach a member of the faculty has been fully demonstrated this year. There is no divided intere.~t.

He has a chance to understand conditions. He knows that to s rve the best interests of the school he must urge maintaining a scholastic standing as well as an athletic standing.

The object in forming this club i · to bring the men who are engaged in athletic. into closer personal contact and thus create a . pirit of friendship, which i. necessary to produce winning teams. To win is not the ole idea, but in addition, to be a credit to the hampaign 1 igh. ometime team · are able to win a majority of their game· and at th arne time are not an honor to the ~chool they repre ·ent.

Another standard of thi.· club is to maintain for the "C" it: rightful recognition. ln the mind and he..'l.rt of th hampaign High chool ·tuden and former tudent., thi · letter ·hould . tand for . omething not ea ily won. There may be a few, however, who do not respect it as they hould, who even go so far as to wear it without b ing officially authorized to do o.

football T HE cent. team.

squad for 1916 goes on record as another thou and per It ranks with 97, '98, '04, '12, and '14 in holding the down ¡tate championship.

In response to the call for candidates, issued by Coach Coutchie, for the 1916 football team, about thirty men turned out. Competition was keen and everyone tried to win a regular po~dtion. The squad was gradually rounded into shape after spending the first few weeks learning the rudiments of the game. The first game of the season was with Villa Grove. This encounter found the Maroons strong in fundamentals, but weak in team play. At the beginning of the game there were only four veterans; before the game wa: over there "\Vere several more. Nine men on the Villa Grove team had played three years together, and it looked rather bad for Champaign for a time. The team, however, before it wa too late, got started and by means of a long pas from Howard to Gantz with Hubbard kicking goal, the score was tied. The following Monday the S<Iuad was strengthened by the addition of Davis from Bondville, and the return of Thomas of the '16 team. The game with Danville the next Saturday showed an entirely different organization. Coach Coutchie by this time had a line on the men and their fitness for certain positions. With several new plays at his command, Howard showed the worth of Gantz at catching passes, and of Hubbard hitting the line. The score of 33 to 0 was the largest of the year. It put much needed pep into the team and started the support and confidence of the student body. The following Saturday was an open date. During these two weeks the team work was polished for the harder games to come, for Champaign had yet to show championship calibre.

The game with Bloomington was played on a wef day. The Maroon~~ were outweighed about ten pounds to a man; so their chance for victory did not look very favorable at first. Champaign, however, scored at will, and throughout the game the ball was in Bloomington territory. Howard's passes were too much for Coach McCord's pupils and they left for home still bewildered over the size of the score.

Houyh, Edith-PoU'der

Planimga m, Donald~JJeiny Rfage-manager [ J.'iflfl¡four I

The game ·w ith Springfield wa another victory for Champaign. Quick work on the part of the Maroon , in the opening quarter, gave Bruder a chance to core on a eros buck. Hubbard kicked goal, and the scoring ended. It wa now seen that the game would be decided in favor of the team having the greater endurance. All who saw the game will remember Nel on's wonderful work at center. At all times he kept the line men fighting for every inch and cheered them up when Dunn or Eilson ripped through them. Roy, with face covered with blood, never mi ed a tackle.

It was a game that a team plays but once; a game that stand out, of all the game of the eason, not becau. e of the victory, but becau. e it shows tho e qualities, in the Champaign team and the Springfield team, that clean athletic rivalry strives to develop. The Springfield game decided the down state champion hip.

The l\Iattoon game was easily won. It atrorded excellent practice for the Maroon , before meeting the Decatur squad, which was believed to be exceedingly strong, o·wing to the score, 36-0, it piled up against Urbana.

Coach Rogers had a good team, but they wasted their energy in the center of the field. The backs could tear through the Maroon line at the center, but they could not get inside of the twenty-yard line. Four time. the Maroons scored by forward passes. The Decatur game was by far the most spectacular of the . ea on, from the ·pectators' point of view.

From tart to finish, the game with (,eorgetown wa. very di.·agreeable. Indirectly, it nearly robbed Champaign of the champion hip. Early in the encounter Howard ·was injured and was unable to play again. It was the only injury of the season. The good condition of the team speaks well for Coach Coutchie.

With the annual clash with Urbana only ten days a\.vay, Coach Coutchie had his hands full developing a quarter back to take the place of Howard. Miller was the logical man as he had proved capable of filling any position given to him. The only thing he lacked was the e.·perience Howard had gained through the . ea. on. Virtually the whole town wa · out to see the champions display their prowess against a team that had been defeated in more than half of their game::;. Champaign had been through a nerve racking season and had all at stake, while Urbana had everything to win by a victory. The Maroons for two quarters \.vere unable to key themselves up to the situation and do team work. Champaign scored first and the game looked easy. Then followed a let down and before the Maroons realized it the score stood 12 to 7 against them. During the third quarter, however, the citizens were given a chance to .·ee what the team could do when it scored two touchdowns and missed a third by a fumble on the one-yard line. This ended the scoring. Darkness prevented anything but a defensive game until the final whistle.

After the game the annual dinner, given by the Champaign High School Athletic Association to the football team, \.Vas served in the high school cafeteria, under the supervision of Miss witzer. The other invited Gray, Mu1·iel-Swimming

guests were .l:'lr. W. W. Berks, Pre ident of the Board of Education; Mr. Ben Long, Athletic board member; uperintendent W. W. Erne. t; ~ ir. Albert Ei ner, Jr., President of the Alumni As ociation, and the men member of the high . chool faculty.

The succe s of the team during the ea. on wa due to the perfect harmany exi ting between Coutchi and the t am, and among the team memben; them elves. All worked for a common purpose and all perLonal difference.· were layed aside. Much wa done to fo. ter this u1p1·it de cotp, by the dinners given to the member of the quad by the parents of Dean Brownell, Or. on Howard, and Harold Miller.

Thi: article would not be complete without aying a few words about the members of the team who have played their Ia ·t game for . H. . .

Captain Gantz set an example for the team by hi not mis:ing a single practice. He was an excellent receiver of forward pa .. e , ran down well under punb;, tackled hard, and gave good interferenc ,-all in pite of the fact that he weighed only 124 pound .

The general.·hip of Howard was his greatest a et. He alway :eemed to know ju t what to do and he had th ability to execute hi wi. he..

Wayne Brown was always on the job. He did not . hine particularly in carrying the ball, but he made up in defenxive strength what he lacked in offensive.

Walter Roy first came under Coach Coutchie's notice with his returning punts while on the second team. Due to his ability in this llne, he won a place on the first team and once there, he refu. ed to be di lodged.

Harold Bruder was not particularly fond of football until he realized how well he could carry the ball. His off tackle drives were hard to stop, for once past the line, he was hard to down.

Praise i · due the econd team for the scrimmage they gave the regulars night after night. Getting all the bruises and receiving none of the glory i · not an enviable position. They, however, know that the second team of today will be the first team of tomorrow. If one is in search of real spirit, the .·econd team is the place to find it.

Prospects for next year eem bright. Hubbard, Nel on, Clapper, Davi., Murray, Lang, Miller, Hudson, and Kaufman will be back. These with Michael, Brownell, Frakes, Martin, Sides, Johnson, Meyers and Pfiester from the second team, should make another championship team.

The "C" men are: Gantz, Brown, Thomas, Clapper, Davis, Nelson, Murray, Hudson, Bruder, Roy, Hubbard, Miller, Lang, Kaufman, Crawford, and Howard.

there were only two "C" m n, neverthele . the outlook for A LTHOUGH 1916-17 basketball season was promising. In response to Coach Coutchie's call, December 12, about fifty candidates reported for places on the team. Th following week the ·quad wa. cut to fifteen men, ten of whom had played on clas.· teams, the other five had physical po. sibilities of becoming good players. The gymnasium ·was the scene of many hard workouts as Coach outchie ·whipped the team into shape.

The fir.·t game of the sea.·on was with Decatur on their floor. Decatur outclassed Champaign in ba:ket ·hooting, but Champaign outplayed them ·o far a. floor work wa.· concerned. A: a re ·ult the game wa hotly conte. ted, and was interesting from the .·upporter:' standpoint. The score of nine points was made by ''Dutch" Hubbard's free thrO\VS. The Maroons were not discouraged at the loss of the game for this wa their first one while Decatur had played three other:.

In the · cond gam . cheduled, the faroon: came back with a rush and trounced the Monticello five to the tune of 42 to 28. hampaign outplayed the vi:itor ·. Hubbard .·tood out a: the stellar performer by caging nine ba.·ket.·. lc own aL'o. howed speed and played a good game.

The following game was played at Springfield with Springfield. In the first half, the Maroons failed to get together. They were not able to find the ba:ket. The :econd half, however, wa. decidedly different. The laroons held the Capitol City boys 10 to 9; but the red and black, in the fir t half had gained a lead of 19 to 5 which was too large a score to overcome. McCown had the most field baskets to his credit. After this game Egbert wa.· ineligible; Howard took his place.

Champaign played the next game on the home floor, with Danville.

Howard distinguished himself by caging six baskets. Captain Hubbard was carried from the floor with a . prained ankle.

One week later, in the game with the strong Bement five, the Maroons showed vast improvement in team work. The bout was rough from start to finish. It was featured by the fact that no fouls were called in spite of the rough tactic u. ed by both aggregation. . "Dutch" starred for the

fc roon. ; h virtually defeated the visitors ingle handed. He count d twenty-two of the twenty-six points made by his team.

The 'laroon ·, fighting again. t odd in weight, emerged victoriou · from the second battle with the trong Springfield aggregation. The Red and }.. lacks put up a five-man defensive game and it was only with difficulty that the Maroons were able to break through. The final core wa 28 to 13 in favor of the Maroons. For team work, thi · ·w a the be t game of the season. Every man played a good game, IcCown and Hud. on were particularly noticeable, "Mac" in covering the floor, and "Rudie" in guarding.

The game with Decatur a week later wa · one of the fa. te:~t that has be n played on the local floor. It was a battle from the very beginning.

During the first half it was of big league calibre; the Maroon showed excellent form and displayed real ba:ketball. In the :econd half, however, Champaign slackened speed and hortly the Decatur five tied the score.

From this time on to the last few minutes, the game wa. anybody's; the core hifted first in fa or of one, then the other. Then during the la:t few minutes of the game, Decatur forged ahead and wa.· able to keep the lead until the final \Vhistle blew.

The regular schedule was interrupted by the tournament held in Champaign, the account of which follows thi article.

1• ebruary 16, the squad journeyed to Danville, for a: cond game with the miner ·. They were accompanied by a band of rooters, for .·o far Danville had not lost on her own floor. The game was not so difficult as expected. 'I he team was anxious to make a score that would offset the record made in the tournament. Hubbard lead the attack with two point·; he was ably supported by Spurrier who was responsible for mo ·t of the points made in the fir!"t half. The whole team played in good form and they were well pleased to return with the long end of the .·core, 56-27.

Two weeks later the team went to Chicago to compete in the University of Chicago Interscholastic tournament. For their first game they drew I< reeport. The score . tood 17 to 22 in favor of Freeport. I• reeport later placed second in the tournament; so the Champaign squad congratulated themselveH that when opposed to the team winning :econd place they only lost by five points.

The Hcores show a successful season-a total of 235 point· to 190 points. It is true the team wa: not at it be:t in the tournament game.·, but when pitted against the teams of the strong high schools it made a good ·bowing. The success may be attributed to the fighting spirit innate in the boy:, the leader:hip of the captain, and mo:t of all the excellent coaching by outchie.

Hubbard was an ideal captain and was undoubtedly the best man on the team. He wa: chosen by Coach Rogers of Decatur, a~ an all-district tournament running guard.

McCown put up a splendid game at forward. He was fast, alert, and accurate in basket shooting.

The tournament opened with Melvin and Farmer City on the floor, .Melvin wa. a three to two favorite, but Farmer City, showing exceptional form, rushed her off of her feet by the score of 42 to 11. Tuscola and Paxton played next. The final score was 31 to 16. The game of the evening was between Homer and Champaign. Homer was considered a dark horse. Last year she played Champaign hvo very close games. Each won on the home floor by a single point. Coach Coutchie entered the second team and by occasionally substituting a fir. t team man had no trouble in taking Homer into camp with a 28 to 13 score. Sidell and Gibson City played the final game of the evening. The latter won 30 to 25.

Only a few spectators came out to see Farmer City and Arthur play a very close game that went to Arthur, 25 to 22. Ne\vman and Monticello folio ved. The latter won 41 to 21. At no time did Newman push the winners. The game between Garrett and Deland was forfeited. The crowd began to collect to view the fourth game of the morning, Champaign vs.

B ment. Captain Hubbard kept hi. team teady. The final core was 29 to 21 in favor of Champaign. Another interesting game wa Onargo and Gib on ity. The latter, a u ual, came back trong in the . econd half.

The game ended 28 to 20, with Gibson City in the lead.

Throughout the tournament fortune . miled upon Decatur. Her fir t h\o game ·were with Allerton and I• isher, both weak team.. In the cont sts with Allerton, Decatur won 43 to 9. Arthur won from Tu cola. The . core wa 33 to 30. Garrett defeated Monticello without much trouble, 39 to 18. Th real game of the tournament, at lea. t to Champaign, wa the one betw en Gibson City and the Maroon.. During the la t few minute of th gam everyone wa on hi feet. aptain Hubbard tried to . teady hi team, but something seemed wrong. Time was called. The score showed .. ib on ity leading 2 to 19. Then followed the Decatur-Fi:her game.

Th core was 72 to 13. Decatur bowed admirable chool spirit, she brought along a carload of rooters and a fourteen piece band. With Champaign out of the tournament, local interest waned.

The four teams entered in the . emi-finals Saturday afternoon were: Arthur v . Garrett, and Gib on ity v . Decatur. Arthur won 46 to 24 and D catur won 35 to 24.

The finals \Vere played Saturday night. Garrett won third place in th tournament by defeating .. ib on ity. Decatur played Arthur for fir t place and won. The score was 26 to 21.

It is not an ea. y matter to pick five men for the honorary ba. ketball team. Roberts of Decatur stands out prominently for hi. . coring ability and his floor work. Galbreath of Arthur, is selected as forward becau:e of hi ability to cage baskets. Gill is hard pre ·sed by Whitlock of Arthur for the position of center. Williamson of Decatur, is selected standing guard because of his steady defensive game. Dutch Hubbard of Champaign, is chosen for his floor work and long range . hooting ability.

Five per cent. of the gross receipts goes to the State Athletic Board; fifty-five per cent. is divided among the teams to help defray their expenses; the other forty per cent. comes to the Athletic Association of the Champaign High School.

KNOX COLLEGE DEBATE

By Clayton Daugherty, '17 CHAMP AI u T HIGH SCHOOL opened its third year a a member of the Knox ollege Debating League with but one experienced debater. However, when the call for candidates was issued, a large number of conte tant~ re. ponded, and the keen competition for a place on the team gaye promise of an excellent year. The tryouts, held on three consecutive days in December, were the scenes of great oratorical eloquence. Faculty member , of the English department, . elected the team to represent Champaign in debate. Those making the teams were: Wolff, Edwards, Knight, Fi her, Phillips, and Daugherty; alternates, Ferguson, and Parker.

Then, under the direction of Coach C. E. French, followed hard, concientiou. work on the part of the entire squad. All material available on the que tion, "Resolved, That the United States ghould Establish and Maintain a Protectorate Relation with the Philippine Islands", was obtained and read. Evidence of this fact was observed by the old debaters of Champaign High School, who invariably expressed their surprise at the knowledge of the subject on the part of the teams. All phases of the que tion were thoroughly studied and every effort was made by each debater to lA anard, f"''lizabcth~"Clinton, lllinoi.·" [ Sixt11-fivc I

Lake, Z. lV.-Mol'ics

obtain . tati tic on both ide· of the question and to manipulate these statLtic. \Vith eff ct . .Finally, about three we k. b fore the debate, th team., and order of :peaking, both in main .·peeches and rebuttal, were e. tablished, as follows: Affirmative team: Clayton Daugherty, Robert Edward , D. A. Wolff . .~:,.egative team: Fred Knight, Richard Fisher, Harold Phillips.

The debate.· \Yere held on I• riday, l\Iarch 30. The affirmative team met Fairfield, Iowa, on the home rostrum; while the negative debater journey d to Quincy, where they met the . trong Quincy team.

At home, the affirmative team, encouraged by the upport of a fairsized and enthusiastic audienc , pr ceeded to establi h their ca. e. Daugherty, a. fir. t speaker, at once held the attention of all by his cl ar, logical plan of attack, and hL· quiet, plea. ing mann r. Edward., the econd man, took up the trend of the argument and sent dismay into the enemies' camp, by hL rapidity of speech and the volumnity of • tati. tics. Th n followed vVolff, tried, e.·perienced, and eag r for battle. He bowed wherein th enemies' line of reasoning wa. fallacious and firmly establi bed Cham paign's case in the judge's minds. In the rebuttals, both sides clashed well but here the affirmative clinched the honor by taking up the oppo ition' main arguments, one by one, and howing the fallacy of e.:'l.ch. The final count for the contest wa.· two to one in favor of hampaign. The judge for the debate were Profe:.·or: H. vV. Ballantine, >. H. Bode, and .J. Garner, all of the University of Illinois.

While the affirmative team wa. triumphing at home, the negativ team was valiantly battling Quincy. The first negative, Fred Knight, aros and for twelve minute all appeared dark for Quincy. Knight'.· convincin voice made an impre. sion on the judges. ,.ext came Fi. her, who.e slm; and decided ·tyle helped much to drive home hampaign'. ca e, and who de.·erves credit for the appeal which he put into hi.· . peaking. Then with all the forceful energy nece.·.;ary for a concluding .·peaker to have, came Phillips. He ably closed the con tructive :peeche.· with an effective outburst of oratory. In the rebuttal, hampaign again showed well. But this time luck did not favor our boys. The deci. ion was two to one in favor of Quincy. When we remember that our boys met three experienced men, who had taken part in the preliminaries, and that Quincy wa. triving to avenge the defeat of la t year at Champaign': hand·, it i. evident that they fought from the beginning to the end. In the opinion of many, the debate was so evenly contested that the deci.·ion might have been awarded either side.

Praise is due to Mr. French, our coach, whose ability and knowledge wa. the greate t factor in our :ucce.~.. Excellent material \vithout a good coach is worthle.. ·. Thank.· al ·o, mu. t be given to tho ·e old hampaign High School debaters, who, by their presence and assistance, helped so materially in the making of winning teams.

EXTEMPORE AND ORATORY

By Griffith Parker, '18 THIS year, Champaign High School ha: the honor of being the only school in the state to win final honors both in oratory and extempore speaking, in the Interscholastic Oratorical Contest, at the University of Illinois. In the preliminary contest held at Paxton, April 28, Elizabeth Hoffmann won first place in oratory and D. A. Wolff won second place in e.·tempore speaking. Griffith Parker failed to place in extempore, but he wa a strong contender for honors.

The subject of Miss Hoffmann's oration was "Women and the War''.

Her sane, consistent treatment of this interesting theme, together with her forceful, effective delivery, won for her third place. In the extempore speaking contest, D. A. Wolff won second place. He drew for his topic, "Social Unrest in Germany and Austria". His speech showed a definite knowledge of the subject. It was not only well organized, but it was also delivered with Wolff's characteristic vigor and forcefulness. He lost first honors by a fraction of a point.

The first program meeting was held ... To ember 2, 1916. The program was strictly political, dealing with the platform and the candidate of each political party. The topic of the meeting held December 14, 1916, was '"I he ountries of South America". The principal countries were discussed by members of the club, and the minor countries were reviewed briefly by Mr. Hedges. The meeting for March 1, 1917, was of especial interest; the topic wa:~ "The Monroe Doctrine". The hi. tory of the doctrine, it possible future, and the attitude foreign countries have had toward the doctrine were well presented. The submarine policy of Germany, and her pre~ent relations with the United State.~ wa. the live .·ubject of the meeting held in April. A subject of more interest could not have been chosen.

IT was evening.

Once more the golden light of an early autumn day had faded away. The moon lowly ro e higher and higher, fl oding the gard n with it oft light, and revealing an ivy clad bungalow half hidden by hrubbery. I ut for all thi: beauty, there ·w a grief in the gardengrief deep and silent like quiet water.. As if in . ympathy, even the flo'· r. in th ir arti. ·tically arranged plots remained motionle s in the drow~y atmo:phere.

In a remote corner of the garden on a ru tic bench, hidd n by a gnarl d and twi ted oak, at May Ferri with fac buried in her hand:, sobbing bitterly. Before ht•r stood Bert William , tall and :tately, with fold d arms and bowed head.

Bert \Villiam ·, a .·enior at Central Tniver. ity, loved l\Iay I• erri and had paid court t her during his univer. ity career. Tonight a. he stood with bowed head, he wa: e.·periencing a tremendou struggle, for he had just left May's father in the library of the picturesque bungalow. Mr. Ferri had agre d to con.::ent to the betr< thal of hi daughter only on condition that Bert refrain from playing in Saturday's football game. I• or four year. Bert had been an enthu. ia:tic athlete, but only a mediocre tudent. Because of this, Mr. Ferris thought that the young man had neglected his studie: in favor of athletics. He knew that his daughter loved Bert, yet he could not allow her to marry a man who wa. not capable of placing emphasi: on the vital things of life. For this reason he made drastic demand:, knowing that tomorrow wa to be played the mo:t important game of the season and that the univen~ity squad could not do without Bert, their :tar half-back.

As he .·tood surrounded with the romantic atmo:phere of the garden, Bert realized to the fulle:t e. ·tent the difficulty of the position in which he wa: placed. He mu:t choose between the girl he loved and the glory of his alma mater. To retain his self respect, there was but one course.

The struggle over, Bert :aid pa. ·ionately, ".lay, I'm :orry, but I mu t play tomorrow. You understand, don't you?"

There was silence for a time; then May arose and, e. :.tending her hand said, with trembling voice, "Yes, Bert, I understand, you must play tomorrow, good-bye".

Bert held the outstretched hand in :ilence. Then as she moved slowly down the gravel walk, he watched her until she entered the bungalow. She had gone out of his life, he thought, and with bowed head he walked out of the garden through the iron gate.

Saturday dawned an ideal day for the decisive game of the ea on.

Long before the hour cheduled for the b ginning of the game, the . tadium was crowded to it utmost capacity. Deafening applau. e was heard from all . id s as both team. came upon the field. Then the pig.·kin wa kicked off, and the player. rushed at each other with grim determination. By mean. of end ru:he:, line plunge , and variou other formation , the ball was slowly carried up the field only to be brought back again by the opposing team. The struggle was in ten e; the teams were evenly matched; both were determined to win.

The upporter of the home team became furiou. . There were but two minutes to play and neither side had as yet scored. The ball, in the hand:;; of the opponents, was on the two-yard line. Then followed a fumble, a skillful plunge, and the center of the home team encircl d the pig. ·kin with hi. body. The ball was now in posse. sion of the home team. The whi ·tie blew, both team. got into line, and the battle began. The ball was tossed to the half-back, who hit the on-coming line with tremendous impact. It yielded. He was carried on. A pair of arms encircled hi. leg:, another pair throttled his wai.·t, yet he managed to tay upon hi: feet for just a moment longer; then he was thrown head long. He fell with the ball just acros. the goal line, a. the crack of the gun \Vas heard for time.

In a s cond Bert was on the shoulders of the :quad. Amid deaf ning applause, he passed by a familiar figure in the crowd who waved her pennant at him. He smiled his recognition, then he was carried away from the girl he loved and into the "~ym".

Five years have pa sed. Again it is evening. A calm brood.' over woodland and river. Here, the nose of the whitefish may be seen as it pierces the ·urface of the water in pursuit of a fly. Yonder, the lusty bass, as if to solicit admiration of his beauty, darts into mid-air after his winged prey. Away in the distance, the faint plaintive notes of the whip-poor-will may be heard. Bert William i. . eated on a camp stool in front of hi. tent, which is pitched on the bank of a river. Not very far distant from the tent are the dying embers of the fire which has boiled his coffee and warmed his bacon. Before him looms that massive steele structure in which are cemented all of his hopes and ambition-his first bridge. The contractors and his men have completed their work and have gone. Bert will guard the place alone tonight. Will the bridge stand the test?

As he sat there smoking his meerschaum pipe, he noticed two riders coming up the pathway. They were on their way to a :ummer re.ort a mile down stream. He indifferently watched their approach until the riders were in front of his tent, then his indifference changed to astonishment, for his eyes met those of May Ferris, which were lowered after the first glance of mutual recognition. For sometime she had known that Bert

H liv d o r the la ·t y ar at the univer.~ity. Again he sat in the beautiful garden, again he carried th ball aero~ the line, again he. aw the excited figure wav the pennant. He rem mbered how hard he had studied to get the r quired credit for graduation, how hard he had toil d all th years after, ho\ he had ri:en . tep by tep until he had become chief engineer for th Parry . . ound Railroad. He had not seen . . lay since the aft rnoon of that wonderful football game, but the thought of her wa n v r long from his mind.

How . trange that she should appear on the eve of hi triumph, for he felt ~·ure that hi. bridg, would ~tand the te t.

B rt arc. •arly the next morning. About the middle of the for noon, a heavily load d freight train appeared on the scene, bringing the railway official·.

THE JUNIOR NEWSETTE DARING ROBBERY- Cont. from 1st page sci sor , several spool. of thread, and some putty, not belonging to ~Ir. Wuesteman, were drawn up from the robbers' person.

John Clark, a clerk in the store, vouched for Mr. Wuesteman's locking the door from the outside. He further added that this lock starts the vacuumsnatcher.

When unlocked from the outside, the lock stop. the action of the machine. He suggested that the thieves entered through the ventilator, for, had they entered by way of the front door, thi: great machine could not have prevented a loss instead of making a gain as it did for the Wuestemans.

This wonderful machine is the invention of Mr. William Pritchard, and we recommend it as a good substitute for night policemen.

ON THE BORDER

By H.alph Tiley, '1

I '1

wa. during a critical moment in border warfare that General Per. bing'.· troop were ordered to return from hihuhua to th ir own id of the Rio Grande. The day after thi order had been ent by courier aero . the d . ert of rorthw . hihuhua, th re wa a report br ught into camp that Villa with a force of s veral thou and m n was lying in wait for Pershing's return northward. Thi meant that Per. hing mu t b varned of Villa's whereabout or he ''ould fall into the trap . et by the cunning Mexican. How could he be warned? Per.·hing' wirele s apparatu. was of very low power and it was doubtful whether he could receive a me ·~age.

It was certain that his . ending outfit was not powerful enough to enable him to an wer the me~ ·age if he . hould recei e it. A courier sent by horseback or even motorcycle would undoubtedly fall into the hands of Villa. What was to be done?

The army ofilcial · at la. t decided to call upon some volunteer aviator to make the journey. This would be a very dangerous underta.king, for if the machine should become disabled and he should be forced to land in the desert, hi.· fate would most certainly be death, ither at the hand of the enemy or from thirst.

At the time this call for a volunteer was issued, there was in the aviation service at Columbus, N. M., a Lieutenant Griswold, who lived in the officer'. quarter' with his wife and little girl. Griswold wa devoted to his wife and child. He was always looking forward to !:'Orne added comfort or luxury for them. When he heard of this call for a volunteer, he realized what it meant. It meant promotion to a higher rank, a higher salary, and possibly a change of quarter . If not that, it, at lea t, meant honorable mention, \vhich would surely lead to promotion later on.

On the afternoon of the same day which the call was issued, Griswold reported to the commanding officer and offered his service.·. He was not questioned upon his ability to make the flight, his bravery in time of danger, or his physical endurance; but was told to report to headquarters the next morning at six o'clock, prepared to make the journey. To Griswold this ::;eemed a rather short time in which to notify his wife, but like the true soldier that he was, he obeyed his orders.

The next morning at si.· o'clock he reported for duty, and, a few minutes later, his machine left the aviation field and started in a southernly direction. The machine was supplied with fuel enough to carry him to Pershing's most inward post, and he himself was provided with food and water for three days, although it was thought that he could make the flight in two days.

At noon he was above the northern edge of the hihuhuan D s rt and just beyond the last vestige of civilization. He landed on a level stretch of sand, ate some biscuit and tinned beef; then he resumed his journey. He

wa:-; now on the most dreaded part of hi~ trip. Beneath him lay a vaHt expan ·e of ·and, unbroken e. ·cept by an occa ional heap of stone or po sibly a :mall cliff, which lifted itself out of the burning ·ands, a· if it were . orne tir d, thristy, creature holding its head up to the m rcile skie hoping for a drop of moi:tur to ea~e it parching throat. Th e clu t r of tone reminded ri ·wold of grave. and he huddered a he thought of "hat might happ n to him. He did not notice the inten. e heat so much, for he wa . . omewhat protected by the planes and aL o by th wind tirred up by the propeller.

At du.·k that eYening he landed in a . mall valley. Her h prepared hL· .·upper and unroller hi. blankets. The moon, high in the heaven , ca t a dull whit light over the far-:tretching :and . There was no obj ct oth r than hi.· machine to ca t a hadow on the and and the arth med a gr at white blanket, :tretching into endle.·: . pace. '1 he Hence wa inten:e. When a slight breeze sprang up, Griswold wa. startled by a low moan; but it was only the wind ru hing through the plane. of hi· machine.

A wed by the awful tiline ..· and the gha. tly light of the moon, he ~at for :orne time with his gun in hand, as if he e.·pected an attack fr m orne en my. 'l'h deathlike stillne. s made him imagine that som thing une.·P cted wa. going to happen at almo.·t any minute. In spite of hi f ar , however, h fell a:leep from sheer exhau~tion. \Vhen he awoke in the morning, a big, red ball of fire wa:~ peeping over the edge of the sandy horizon. A: he ate hi: breakfast, he felt a de·ire to .· e his wife and little girl. He wondered if they mi . ed him a. much a: he did them. The un wa :oon well up; :o he, picking up hi. blanket: and other b longing., walked over to his machine. As he tepped around to the rear of the plane to e.·amine the propeller, his foot sank d ep into the .·and and looking down he :aw that the and wa: w t. He gav a :tart. It wa:-> directly under the gasoline tank. Could it be po. ible that ?

He ha:tily examined the tank. It wa. not half full. He had u.·ed but a third of hi: .·upply on the first day. He examined it more closely. On the under ide wa. a .·mall hole through which the ga:oline wa · lowly dripping.

It wa · but the work of a moment to repair the tank. H had only enough ga.·oline to get him back to one of the most southern outpo t on the Rio Grande. But, he had the me.~:age to deliver to (Ieneral Per:hing.

He did not have the .·lighte.~t idea of Pershing'.· position, or how long i would take to find him. He did know that he could not get back to hi, po;~t for a new .·upply of ga ·oline; then have time to warn Per hing.

Three day had already pa ·.·ed . ince the order had been .·ent. If he hould attempt to reach Per.:hing and hi.· .·upply of fuel fail, he would be ·tranded in the de.·ert to wander about until hunger or thirst overcome him. He thought of hi. wife and child. Who would care for them? Would it not be better to go back? The more h thought of the rL·k he would be taking, L

the more he dreaded it. He did not want to die. He wanted to .·ee his wife and little girl.

Then the man in him tood out. What had been especially impre d upon hi. mind when he joined the army? BraL•ery a?Ul Obe(lienc ! vVa...: it bravery to turn back and leave all of tho ·e men, at the mercy of the treachrou Mexicc n. ? Was it obedience to turn back without deliv ring that me . age? ,.o.

He tepp d into the machine and started the engine. The aeroplane rose a gracefully a a bird and oar d on in the ·arne direction.

A group of khaki-clad horsemen '\Va. advancing slowly aero.·. th sandy de ·ert. They eemed to be light-hearted and wer .·inging and '•hi.·tling a.· they rode along. Suddenly one of them ro.·e in his . addle and pointed toward the northwest. The other turned their gaze in that direction; then spurring their horses forward, they proceeded toward the object '•hich had attracted their att ntion. It wa. a man clad in khaki uniform. He was staggering along, falling to his knees one minute and the next. truggling to regain hi. feet. Ju. t a.· the men reached him he collap:ed. There. cuer ·mounted the in ensible man on one of the hor:es and started back in the direction from which they had come.

The e men were on a scouting trip for Pershing. He had already heard of Villa' intentions from som friendly Mexican, and wa.· endeavoring to keep out of his way.

The lieutenant's . upply of fuel had failed him and for . everal days he had been wandering around on the de. ert. He had be n without food or water most of this time and as a result was very weak. Upon his return to Columbus he was promoted to the rank of Colonel and wa · al.·o highly praised for his effort.

In his after years of service Gri:wold was noted for his bravery and daring, but no one, other than himself, knew how nearly he had once come to showing himiself a coward.

THE TWELFTH HOUR

By Beatrice Moorehead, '18

A bright log fire crackled in the grate at a hunter::-' cottag

and within it.~ cheery warmth six boys lounged in large easy chain;.

"I'm tired of listening to these . illy gho t stories,'' one of them suddenly remarked. He rose and crossed over to the window. " uppose we take a little spin on the river? It is m; smooth as glas!'l."

"Go, if you want to," a .·hort, fat fellow replied. "No skating for me tonight. It's too cozy here by thh; little old fire."

"I'm with 'Hippo'," Jack put in. "Plenty of time to . kate tomorrow, Dick".

It was evident, however, that Dick, undaunted by his companion ' d cided refusal, \'a. determined to go, for he called back a~ he left the room, "Don't look for me until you ~ee me. I might . kate all night." ''I don't ee why he wants to go out on this cold night," ob erved Jack.

"Let him go," returned 'Hippo'. "He': been blue ever ·inc that girl jilted him. A for me, I'm going to take a feed and then turn in." " l fe too," cam from the moker by the fir .·ide, and Dick, f r th time, wa · forgotten in the wild ·cramble for the ice-box. lean while, the ,·ubject of the conver ·ation had hurried to the riv r and wa :oon gracefully gliding down that avenue of ice. "One-two", he counted th ~ long, even :trokes. "Thi: fre h air , mell good. Ju. t the thing for a fellow's lungs-and heart", he grimly added a an afterthought.

Hi thoughts were . o taken up in this oliloquy that he did not s the long, jagged air-hole until---:pla.·h! .Just as suddenly the sound of a low mu.·ical laugh came to his ears, for h had hitherto suppo. eel that h wa: the only skater on the river.

"Do you need any help'!" The voice wa decidedly feminine, th ref ore Dick could not expre.·.· hi: an:wer :o forcibly a~ he wL h d; he merely gasped, "Yes." Soon a slender girli:h figure appeared cautiou~·ly ov r the ic and a .·lim firm hand gra. peel his. But instead of pulling him out, she sai I, "Will you promise to do what I ask, if I help you out?"

Dick, purple with cold, did not he. itate, but promised, "Anything", and wa:, "''ithout delay, hauled safely upon firm ice.

When he had recovered his breath and composed his haking limbs so that he could walk, the girl took hi.· arm and they ·tar ted silently for the shore.

Shortly, a light was seen ahead and then a cottage came into view.

Thi. was evidently the girl's de:tination for a s\ ·eet, clear voice called from the doorway, "Is that you, Olive?"

"Yes, Auntie," was the reply. "~lake .some tea, won't you please'!"

By this time the little grey-haired lady and her niece had succeeded in getting Dick into the hou. e and he, clad in a red silk kimona, wa, soon comfortably thawing out, in front of the fire.

Olive and her aunt were engaged in arranging the tea-table and Dick cautiou:ly studied his re cuer. He wa. · pl a. ed to see a slim, grac ful creature bles. ed with curly black hair and brown eyes. Her complexion, naturally dark wa: unmarred by powder; the cheeks, a vivid pink, were not painted. He felt his heart, which he had believed was unsu ceptible, quicken as he looked at this girl.

The object of his scrutiny suddenly turned and, meeting his teady

gaze, blushed a deep crimson. Attempting to hide her confu ·ion, . he said, "Drink thi and th n we'll talk ov r your pr mi. e."

"Promise? Oh! ye , I remember now. ay by the way, won't you tell me your whole name? .Nline i' Dick ronfton."

"Mine i Olive Stuart. ,.ow you mu~ t drink your t a b for it get cold."

When th last drop had di. appeared, Oliv aid, "You know you promi.·ed to do wOmething for me? Well, that .'omething i. marry me before twelve o'clock."

"What. farry you? 'W hy, I can't-that i:-er-1 wouldn t po. ibly dare to do it!"

"There i no could or would about it. You promi ed to marry me and I I ave the r st to your sen of honor." With thi~ d termined .·pc ch, he left the room and Dick was alone.

He glanc£>d at the tall grandfather clock in the corn r, "Ten forty-five.

In about an hour, old man, you'll no longer be a confirm d bachelor. This certainly i the zcm .·t crape you ver were in. Oh! "ell, . he' not hom ly, anyway!"

Ju t th n the oft voice called from the n xt room, "The mini 'ter will be here by eleven ; . o you had better change that red kimona for your own clothe·. They're dry no' ."

By eleven-fifteen Dick wa. dre. ed, ready to carr~' out hi.· promi that is, a· nearly as he could be react in hb wrinkled . kating clothe', Olive \\a al o ready, but .he .till \\ore the hort .po1t :kirt and blou e in which she had re.·cued her .·oon-to-be hu::sband. . he evidently reasoned that the bride . hould be dre : d in k t:ping with th groom.

The clock pointed clo. ely to half-past. Dick looked decidedly uncomfot table, the aunt and Olive, cool and e p ctant.

Eleven forty-five th old clock chimed. ". up pose he doe.·n't come after all," Dick thought to him If. But omehow thi thought did not please him. Since he had re:igned himself to the marriage, he wanted it to tak place.

"There he is, now," Dick broke the :ilence and the mini ·ter da.·hed into the room at ju.·t ten minute before twelve.

"You see I got turned over into a :now drift and---" "Oh! don't stop to e.·plain," broke in Olive. "Marry u:."

HT! The town clock had ju t pealed forth the . ol mn hour of twelve. The night was black, oh, so black. The very tomb-stone· in the cemetery . how d a dull, dark, gray, and the tall pine tree wer darkly silhouetted again.·t the black sky. Black was here, black was ther , black wa everywhere! I was entirely enveloped with darkne ·..

Suddenly, about one hundred feet ahead of me, a wavering light appeared. and then in a moment, all was black again. In the flickering shadow~', however, I saw two men carrying shovels, and with th ir caps pulled down low ov r their face. , w re eagerly . canning a paper, and then, "Good! Five trees, middle one, twenty east, two south, four we t," thi.· from one of them. I heard the men walk on down the road; . o I, with my curiosity thoroughly aroused, follow d them.

On they walked, conver ing in low tones, and clo. e I crept b hind them. :\iy heart thump d ·o loud that I feared I . hould b det ct d. W were now clo.·e to an overgrown fore.·t, which looked a.· black a a dungeon, and as impenetrable a. a jungle. udd nly the two men turned and went directly into the very darkest part of the fore t. Although I wa trembling with fear, I did not hesitate to follow them.

Presently the men halted, and directly ahead < f them, I counted five trees. After hastily removing their coats, the men walked twenty steps east, two steps .·outh, four step. west. Then one of them gave a low laugh, a laugh like that of the villian when he "has you in his clutch . ", and they both set to digging.

Oh, the excitement of the whole thing! Here in th middle of th darkest night I had ever . een, the. ·e men ·were digging for buried trea ·ure. oon they would divide the money and would :;;tealthily depart, weighted down with bags of gold. I wa.· thrilled through and through vith the thought.

What wa. · that? Did my ears deceive me? Surely I heard a grating .·ound. The men worked frantically, and the sound became more distinct.

I knew that their shovels were grating on a box. I was not mistaken, for in a minute, the men threw down their shovels, and groping over the hole, they lifted out a heavy wooden bo.·. The lid was quickly raised, and--.

MOVING PICTURES

By John Howard, '17

THE motion picture equipment of the high school i: one of the best obtainable. In order to pay for it, a cries of eight cia:. ical photo-plays were presented, beginning October 20, 1916, and ending ,January 26, 1917.

They repre ·ented ·orne of the mo t popular high cla production , and among them were, ".Julius Cae:ar'', "Antony and leopatra", "Quo Vadis", "Vanity Fair", "Alice in \Vonderland, and "Th Wizard of Oz".

The total co.·t of the equipment is 637.17; the co t of operation, and maintenance, $:385.94; the total e.·penditure $1,02~.11; total r ceipts $63 .73; the present debt on equipment. $3 4.:3 .

Throughout the year, a large number of educational films have been :hown. These . bows, on the average, consb;ted of about four reel each, and the price for admi ·sian was two cents. The greater proportion of attendance has been from the grade schools. It is hoped that the younger pupils have set an example for the high school .·tudents, in a. much a the equipment ·w hen paid for, will become the property of the high chool.

BOYS STUNT SHOW

By I hilip

rawford, '1

boy:' .'tunt • how, something entirely new to the hampaign High ..:chool :tage, wa · :ucce.·sfully pre:ented in th auditorium. All actor., needless to . ay, were boys; some of whom, by means of make-up and co tume were tran. form >d into beautiful ladies. The disguise wa. so complete that even parents failed to r cognize th ir children.

A

'l'he opening number wa · a take-off on a symphony orche tra. Many and varied .selections were rendered with feeling and expres. ion, upon in. trument · con:tructed by the player.·. Esp cially pleasing wa the olo by laude Adam.· (Charles Barker), and the many numbers giv n by the trio and quartette. The endeavors of this group wer well supported by John La wder at th piano. It is an undi puted fact that the succ . s of the orchestra wa: due to its leader, Frank Rob son. 1• or the sake of music and art, I• rank :hould look no further for a mean.' of obtaining a livelihood, but should continue in this new line. The heavy numbers were relieved by a solo dancer, "Miss I• luffy Ruffles". This charming young lady (Hugh Fergu:on), dres:ed in the unique co:tume of a dre.·sing table, carried the audience by storm. She was one of the hit: of the evening.

Next came the Fancy Dance Act. This was exceedingly well done by Madame Pirouette and Monsieur Gu:tave DeLong. In every day life the. e two are known a: Morris Hughes and Harold Spurrier.

In the third act vocal music held sway. Some of the popular songs of the day were reproduced by Ral ton Derrough, Morri: Hughe , Sh rman Hugh .s, and D. A. Woltr. At fir t Ral.·ton as lover wa attracted to a little Quakeress. The song was Thet·e's a Quaket· DrJicn in Quaket· Town. Morris played the part of a simple Quarker Miss to perfection. Ralston's tune, however, wa: changed to Molly Deat· 'Tis You I'm A/let·, at the appearance of a cunning Irish lassie (Sherman). But even she could not hold the heart of the fickle lover. When old-fashioned ... Iary appeared, he forgot all about the other maidens and he greeted D. A. with Mary You'!'(' A Little !tit

Old-Fw~hioned.

The scene of the ne.·t act was a club room known as I• usser.s' Hall. At first two colored porter.s (Carl and AI) stirred the audience to laughter by their "Blacktown Tales" and clog dancing. At their exit, the members of the club appeared. In the lively conver~ation that followed, the latest high school gossip wa. aired. It was certainly a novelty to watch the heads boo up in the audience, u ually in pairs, whenever a name was mentioned. The author of thi clever kit was Mi. s Barry.

The awfulness of the "Punlcint•ille Chorus" was terrible. Except the original, such another collection of voices and habits would be impossible Swanncll, llfat·ian-U . .;iny the paint-br11sh

to gather together. This chorus, under the leader ·hip of D aeon Silas Pettibone (~ Iorri. Hughc ·), display •d the nerve-racking talent to be had at a mom nt' notice in the hampaign High chool. The tars of thi act w re Harold Micha I, harles .de ullough, 0. II. laisdell, and Alb rt Wue. t man.

The clo ing act of the performanc was a hort English I etch, flo.r and 'o.t·. A lady furni he uflicient cau. e for constant disagreement b tween Bo.· and 'o.·. The mediator of this difficult pair is th ir landlady, 1rs. I ounc r. The part were xcepti nally well taken by Warr n Sid s a. o.·, Harold 1iller a Box, and ~ 1a.·well Adams a .~.1rs. Bouncer.

'I'h rea. on for th ucce. s of the performance may b attribut d to the enthusia m with which the boys entered into their parts, and the cleverne;,s, originality, and variety of th acts offered. The latter i. due to the train rs, 1i.· Br it tadt, 1\Ii s barry, and . . 1r. Willcox.

THE BRASS CANDLESTICK Helen V. Picknell, '1 were many gifts of great value in the collection :pread before T HERE Marjorie ray on. Towering above the re t ro e a pair of great bra c.andle-sticks, un ·haded, with tall green candles in their wide old-fashioned mouths. "These were your great-great-grandmother's, Marjorie, and there L· a long tory attach d to th m. Every Gray. on bride ha lighted the candles and placed one on each side of the altar just before her marriage. If the light goe., out, the marriage i. ill-fated; if not-why, 'Happy i th bride the candle-light ;,hines on' "-and ir . .rayson, laughing, finL·hed her explanation in a paraphrase.

"Did they ever go out, Mother? And how did the legend become attached to them?" .. tarjorie alway~, asked, "Why".

"Oh, child, your eternal 'Why'. The leg nd uit · you wond rfully well. You ee, your great-great-grandmother, the fir t Mrs. Peter Grayson, was a very wilful person and when her father wanted her to marry Peter Gray on, he wa in a terrible rage. She, however, couldn't have been much worse than you were when you wanted to break your engagement over such a fooli:h trifle. This girl, who Wa!:i to marry Peter Grayon, thought another woman loved Peter, and, not loving him very much herself, she was anxiou. to give him back to the woman he had left for her.

Of course, it wa all foolishness on her part, just as fooli h as were your qualm.· over not loving Walter Whitcombe more. To make a long tory .·hort, as your father says, this other woman really loved Grayson and, just a day before the marriage, he came in and . tabbed her. elf, right before the bride-awfully poor taste!

"Did you have them when you wer married, Mother? Did th y burn bright?"

"They only flickered; then went on beaming. orne, I hear :orne one at the door. Do get that ·w oe-begone expre. ion off your face, an l try for once to look like a bride.

"I don't know, mother, -'What God hath joined together'-you know.

I wish"-but here a bevy of girl friends came in and the last of Marjorie's remark wa. lost.

She repeated the legend to her friend:. One of them, a little gayer than the rest, laughed forcedly and e.·claimed, almo. t too gayly, "Well, dear, I hope the candle will burn bright for you and-for Walter. I'm sure he-you hould have them ·o."

"Yes, they should," said another, "for think of what Marjorie i.· doing-becoming th bride of our next rcpre.entative (for ·o father declares), and ju.·t think what a life that ·will be in Wa.·hington for our concientiou. little Margy."

There was a set look in Marjorie's pretty face by the time the girls ha 1 left, and • he ighed a: he • tarted up the tair to h r room. She eli·missed her maid almost immediately, and . at down before the fire to think.

Her thoughts, however, became so weird that he soon aro e and made her way to her bed.

The next day dawned clear and warm. The marriage ceremony was to be performed in a little sun-lighted room opening off the mu:'lic room, in the presence of only the immediate families of the participant.'; then the doors were to be thrown open for hundreds of friend to greet "Mr. and Mrs. Walter Whitcombe III".

Just before the little clock on Marjorie's desk chimed ten, the hour of the ceremony, Mrs. (rrayson entered the room where Marjorie, surrounded by her bridesmaids, ·tood. Mrs. Grayson carried a lighted taper and behind her came a maid carrying the two brass candle-sticks.

"Come, dear, perform the Grayson bride'. duty", laughed Mrs. Grayson.

Marjorie gave a queer little cry; then she, too, laughed a forced, hollow laugh. "Please, I ·would rather be alone", she said as she turned at the door and aw that her attendants followed her. Taking a candle under [ 011

ELL, Mary Jone ! If I ain't glad to see you! Why, you've been keepin' yourself to home fer such a long spell that I had an idee that it warn't no u.'e to a:k you over any more." The \Vidow Peter: wa., compelled to .'top and take a breath at this point and her vi 'itor took the opportunity to reply, "I'm mighty glad t'see you, too, Widder.

Mrs. Jones was a small, fidgety woman, the hard line. in her face and her rasping voice, together with the quickne.·s with which her small black eyes took in situation:, proclaimed her a member of that garrulous lot of people called "Village Gos ips".

As for the Widow Peters, she was the direct opposite to Mrs. Jones in every way except for her talking ability. She was a large, masculine looking woman, of ample size, and . he talked in a loud, coarse voice.

By the time the two women had done talking, Pa .Jones and .Johnny had entered the room and ·tood, patiently waiting, with all their bundles clasped tightly in their arms and a huge telescope valise at their feet.

After greeting Pa Jones and his son, the Widov.- suggested that Johnny go out in the barn and look for Willie, her son. Taking her advice, [ On

Johnny hopefully pulled open the large barn door and yelled, "C'mon out, Bill. I've come to see you". Hi. invitation wa.· an w red by an Indian-like ·w hoop from the hay loft. The voic wa. soon followed by a wriggling, twisting little body, topped by a head of brilliant red hair.

Is that it?"

This from Johnny in a scornful ton of voice.

" ure! Ain't he a pippin? Ya orter ee him do tricks." his brave front Willie's pride was somewhat dampened.

In :pite of

"Why, I gotta bett r dog 'n that at home."

"Ya have not!

There ain't no better dog than mine."

"Well, I got one."

"Ya ain't, I ay.''

"I have too, and you :ay I ain't and I'll :how you whether I got one or not."

The two boys immediately a:.·umed the attitude approved by boy pugilists.

"I say it," ga ped Willie in a voice that he tried to keep from shaking.

A second later the two boys were a mass of flying arms and legs, towhead and red-head seemed to be continually changing bodie:.

Just as the fight was becoming e.·tremely agitated and just as Johnny was beginning to let out victorious whoops, two figures s"·ooped down on them and indignant mother hand: :eparated the two fighter:.

The little figure that was tow-headed . tood up proudly and yelled joyously up at his mother, "I wa: lickin' him, :\Ia! I wa.· lickin' him!"

"My poor little son. Did the bad boy come and hurt you th very fir.'t thing?" And the red head was drawn tenderly to the Widow's bosom.

ADVICE TO FRESHMEN

By Le Roy Berg, '17

J .,. expres. ing a

criticism of the superficial sentimentalities tran. crib( c1 by the fre. hmen in their laboriously produced manuscript. and at the same time "ithout any prognostication of e ·ces.·ive superciliou ness, I h rewith submit these suggestion. : In recording any phy. icotheological or phychological observations, beware of platitudinou. ponderosity. Observe latent .·implicity in conception but portray all authentic and propitiou. circumstance ..

Do not conde cend to plagiarism, for thi · i an anathema of pretentiou. and magnitudinous contamination.

Let your protagonist posse~· audacity, valor, determination, fortitude, p r. erv ranee, and genera ·ity; but not arrogance, vacillation, duplicity and timidity . ... "'ever .·tipend him to prevaricate, for this is a depo:ition of treacherou~·ne s. ,.ever allow the situation to become incomprehen. ible to the intellectual reader, but project the production into channels of simplicity.

If these unmagisterial conceptions are carried out, the altruism of the freshman will not be infringed upon and he will be relieved of the chagrin and mortification of receiving, for hi. stipulation, an unpretentious grade as a remuneration.

CHANGED ENVELOPES

By Harriet Beach, '18

I

wa. only. ix year old when this happened; o, of cour. e, now r can look back upon it with a . mile, but at the time it wa a veritable cata. trophe.

I, along '•ith thirty or forty other infant., wa. a pupil in the fir t grade.

Our teacher was an awe-inspiring lady, tall, thin, and sharp-featured.

Directly across from me sat a red-headed, freckle-faced, pug-nos d little boy. I particularly abhorred him. He never allowed the chance to pa:s to pull certain little girl ' pig-tail or to break . harpened pencil ·.

February came and gradually approached the day, dear to all children -SaintYalentine's Day. Among my collection of valentine., there were two a: different from each other as my little . tubby pencil wa · different from the beautiful long, unchewed one my teacher po :e :erl. One wa · a beautiful lace affair with hearts and cupids and lovely poetry. I paid five whole precious pennies for it at the book-store around the corner. The other, an ugly one with . orne uncomplimentary verse: inscribed, I purcha d for a penny, at the arne book-store. The first wa. for my teacher; the second one, for the red-headed little boy.

On the evening of February 1:3, after I had stumbled through my reading les. on and placed very crooked figures on my arithmetic paper, I turned to t_he more pleasant task of preparing my valentines. On each, I laboriously printed my full name and placed them in the envelope: ; then I printed the names of their soon-to-be owners on the out ·ide. At last there were just two left-the beautiful one and the ugly one. I looked at them lovingly for a long time. How I hoped that the gorgeous five cent one would win favor for me in the eye· of my teacher, and that the penny one "·ould show the little boy, once and for always, my righteous opinion of him. Just then, I heard Mother coming. It would never do for her to see them, at lea:t the horrible one; . o I hastily scribbled my name on both, put them into the envelopes and printed, "Teacher" on the outside of one, and "Bobby" on the other.

The follownig morning all gathered around the mysterious bo.·, each eagerly awaiting his turn to contribute his valentines. At la:t, all wa: ready for distribution. Teacher received many beautiful ones. Her thanks and endearing terms were sweet to my ears, for I was confident that my gift was the most magnificent of all. Finally, she took out the last two; she handed one to Bobby and kept the other one. Simultaneously each drew out hi· valentine, while I watched with a proud smile. :My smile, however, soon changed to a look of dismay when Bobby triumphantly e.·hibited my five cent beauty and Teacher cast me a look of surprise. For one moment I stood frozen ·with horror; then I turned and fled home to Mother. I told her that I could never, never, never look Teacher in The face again. Mother, however, explained everything to her; so, in the end, Teacher was very nice and smiled on me again.

I never knew Peggy wh n ~he wa~n't having some brilliant . treak of remembering at the la:t minute. hell probably remember he ha n't made her will five minutes before she dies. That's why he and l went down town at el ven-thirty on the day after Chri~tmas- becau. e Peggy remembered.

At half-past twelve we becam' aware that we were hungry-nay, not only hungry, but famished. We made our way to a confectionery which alway erved lunche.. A wa. heel out p cim n of humanity, with a \ ery meek and humble air, waited upon u:. He informed us in a mournful voice, "We don't serve lunches no more." What were we to do? Again Peggy remembered!

"There's a cafeteria aero the street," sh r marked, . omewhat in the tone of voice olumbus might have u.·ed when he fir t saw America.

The man meekly agreed that there wa:, and Peggy rose, left the confectionry while I ~ilently followed her.

Fifteen is evidently pos:e:sed of a great deal of eonfidence. At any rate we walked into the cafeteria and-it was my turn-I remembered that there was only fifty cents between u . But we were in and we thought it our duty to mainitain the air of maje:ty w had a sumed. \Ve walked down the line scorning vegetables, deserts, everything but a plate with one slice of meat on it and two potatoes. Perhaps it was on account of the \Var-anyway tho~e potatoes we,re terribly . mall. The plate was quite lonely on that huge tray but we could not afl'ord company for it a· fifty cent: doesn't go far the:e day:. There was one slice of bread between us and some butter-we thought we were generou. ly served even then.

At last we were out of that dreadful place, and Peggy remarked that . he didn't think he'd remember very .soon again-at least not at eleventhirty.
