They cooperated in sponsoring the Basketball Supper in December, the Athletic Banquet in March, and the Class Day Banquet in May. Among the programs presented were an address by Dr. C. W. Sanford upon "Aims of Instruction at University High School" ; a discussion led by Mrs. W. A. Ruth upon the subject, "Responsibilities of the Home to the School and for the Child" ; an address by Mrs. Charles Hughes Johnston, of the College of Education, upon "Impressions of German, French, and English Secondary Schools" ; and a presentation by Miss Velma Kitchell upon "Interesting Prospects in Developing Music Appre- ciation in University High School." Teachers and pupils are alike grateful for the gifts from the Association which made possible the purchase of suits for the basketball team and equipment to complete the high school radio set.

During the first year we chose Bob Dunn, captain, Carl Hansen, first- mate, Howard Bowden, purser, and Ruby Lees, scribe of the log. These four were a very efficient crew and helped the seamen on the ship of eduction to become recognized. The first event which officially initiated the newcomers into the activities of the school was the Valentine party. The Sub-Freshmen served as deckhands in this event. The rest of the season the Freshmen devoted them- selves to the study of their lessons and to acquainting themselves with the school and its activities. When the class of '38 re-entered the next fall, they were a very changed group of voyagers. This time they elected Walter Terpenning as captain, Dorothy Huntington as first mate, Ruby Lees as purser, and Byron Martin as scribe of the log. They became active in athletics, dramatic productions, assemblies, puppet show, and many other extra-currricula activities. Again they carried off the honors at the Valentine party, which was their big contribution. On the third year of their voyage, the seamen had earned their stripes. Tom Munson was designated captain, Edward Bussman, first mate, Byron Martin, scribe of the log, and Ruby Lees, purser. Departing from their tradition, the crew sponsored the Christmas party instead of the Valentine party, as was pre- viously the custom. The first dramatic production which belonged to the crew exclusively was the class play, "The Importance of Being Earnest," by Oscar Wilde. The play was both a financial success and a dramatic triumph. The event heralded as the biggest in our third trip was the farewell banquet and dance given for the Seniors. We closed the year looking forward to the last year of our voyage with confidence and hope. "Seniors !" The name sounds like music, a little sad and a little glad, for we have only one year left on our beloved ship. To man the vessel this time, we chose Jean Jacob, captain, Tom Munson, first mate, Cornelia Green, scribe of the log, and Jerree Adams, purser. The first date of importance on our calendar was Hallowe'en ; at that time the Seniors gave the first all-school party. The Senior year is always the busiest, and our last year was no exception. In De- cember we presented our class play, Philip Barry's ever popular, "The Young- est." The Seniors figured prominently in basketball with Tom Munson as their captain. It has been the custom of the Seniors to sponsor the annual puppet show, and this year the play was, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." The script was written by Phoebe Vestal, and the production was managed by Jo Ann Munson. Something a little unique was offered by the class of '38 this year. We or- ganized the talent of the group and displayed it in the Senior Talent Assembly. Another assembly sponsored by the Seniors was the U and I Assembly for the purpose of advertising the yearbook. The highlight of the voyage was the mid- shipman's swing, known to the land-lubbers as the Junior-Senior Prom. Although we have docked at last, we survey the ship with the sadness of farewell, regretting to leave the docks we once scrubbed for new ships to sail. Sarah Jean Gray Page Seventeen U and I | 9 3 GlaM, VAo-pQwcy When we fell off the back end of a truck, striking our heads on the pave- ment, we saw stars in the future. Here they are : Marge Bacon, a member of good old Uni High, has just invented and pat- ented a new tennis racket. It is a combination baseball bat and old-fashioned racket. You swat the ball with both hands. It is dedicated to the three o'clock gym class of Uni High. John Murphey is now running the Fresh-Air Taxi Cab Company. He rents out bicycles, tricycles and roller skates. ( Also kiddiecars. ) Margaret Burlison is now the much publicized cello-soloist with the Phil- harmonic Symphony. The national president of the Society for Stray Canaries is the Ethel Rose Scott of the '38 class of Uni High. After six years in the University, Hal Bilyeu finally attained a position on the fifth team. The manager of the Burned-Steaks Cafe, Vesta Stovall, serves axes with each steak because the gravy can't be cut with an ordinary knife. "Hear ye, hear ye, calling cards made while you wait, on the Midway, Silch- Bottom Circus grounds." Ah, what a fate for Eddie Bussman. The dynamic Speaker of the House, Old Iron-Head to friends and rivals alike, is the Stuart Tanner we all knew so well. The second secretary to the assistant pen-holder of the Tasteless Chewing Gum Factory is none other than Isabel Butler. The famous Monsieur Faux Pas, Women's Hairdresser of New York, Paris, and San Francisco, is none other than Bob Clevenger. Dorothy Huntington of Miami, Florida, Long Beach, California, and Nice, France was seen in her newest creation of an evening topper at the Children's Benefit Show. The famous creations are sold under the name of Horsey-Hats by Huntington. The leading woman physicist of Common Trolley Lines Inc. is Nina Coffing, who spends her spare time playing the piano. Tean Jacob, the American-born genuine French governess of the Smythe Sextuplets, has, at last, something to worry about. Bernice Cook has taken the place of Dorothy Lamour in Hollywood. It"s because of her long, wavy hair. She usually plays opposite Robert Krabbe who is the new-found Tarzan of the Yipee Picture Corporation. The organizer of the Big Sister Movement in Middleberg for the reduction of delinquency among girls is the Jane Creighton of Uni High days. Page Biqhteen U and I ^=^== I 9 3 Ruby Lees, disappointed in love, now writes the Love-Lorn column in the Spring-Valley Clamor. 1 ne daily recipe given on the radio program of the Coarse and Grainy Sugar Co. is concocted by Rosalie Galeener. The long sought model for the hands of Venus de Milo statue has at last been found in the person of Byron Martin. At the age of forty, Sarah Jean Gray retired to the Old Maid's Home in the Hilltop-Sanatarium-in-the- Valley. Lucille McCormick now holds the much coveted position of Chairman of the Censorship Board for the Broadcasts of the Kiddies Fairy Tales. Emerson Hawkins is now the famous sculptor's model for the Drugstore Cowboy. Tom Munson, the original Yes-Man, is now working in the office of Joseph, Joseph, and Joe Company. Cornelia Green is now the heroine of the Click-Ten-Cent-Movie- While- You- Wait. A new picture is shown each week in the machine in Pauley's. Ruth Jordan now runs a day nursery for cats and dogs. Cats are kept in one ward and dogs in another while their respective owners are at work in the city. Ruth originated this idea and thinks it is an excellent one. She is trying to get a patent on it. Jo Ann Munson is now teaching poetry appreciation to the Sub-Freshman Class at her Alma Mater — Uni High. Stephen Parrish holds the record for the most tennis practice in the last ten years. And, by golly, he is the winner of the Davis Cup. Well, good. Dorothy Cjuirke is now the Glee Club director in the Illinois State Hospital for the Deaf and Dumb. William Wisegarver is now the Auctioneer on the Unlucky Hit Cigarette program. Jerree Adams, Mrs. Weber to some people, now takes charge of the Kiddies' Kindergarten, as something to do in her leisure hours. Phoebe Vestal is now, and has been for the past six years, the labor candi- date for President. Oh, well, we knew her when . Dorothy Mast is now deep in the work of her recent book — "Live Together and Like It." Her most recent book, "Live Separately and Like Tt," is now on sale for the small price of $5 per copy. 10,000 copies have already been sold.

We thank you. And now the time has come when we must dig up that oft heard of but little seen symbol of supremacy, that token of triumph, that renowned mace of righteous rule, the Senior Class hatchet no less. This hatchet was burned with due respect and veneration last year on June 7, in the dead of night. At this annual disinterment, we feel it our duty to explain some of the ideals for which this little tomahawk stands. The most important of these is the paramountcy of the Senior Class. Now last year's Seniors managed to live up rather well to our expectation of them. They cut fewer classes, did less "tubing," and made better grades than is the average for such an unpromising group of young people. How- ever, we feel that this year, we, as Seniors, have reached the nadir of success. We have surpassed in athletics, dramatics, studies, and "outside activities" (need I elaborate?) every known class since Eve was but a rib. In fact, Tom Munson is said to have run the 100- yard dash in something under 2 seconds flat. This was on the occasion of Tom's meeting with a supposedly mad cat on the street. Of course, this time was made by Tom while running toward the loathsome beast, not, by any means, aivay from it. In the field of dramatics, our Thespians have caused Shakespeare to shift his position in his grave from genuine pleasure. In regard to studies, if all the 1938 Seniors who made less than a five- point average were laid end to end along a railroad track, the cowcatcher of the next train would hit them. But no, what we mean is that their number would be only slightly more than that signified by a solitary egg of the red-eyed Australian wild goose. Lastly, I do not believe that it is necessary to expound the merits of the Seniors in the field of "outside activities." We leave you to draw your own conclusions (that is, assuming that you can draw). So, at this time it is with a feeling of sincere sorrow and condescending pity that we entrust our beloved and carefully cherished hatchet to the Junior Class. Now we realize that these Juniors are no ordinary mortals. They have proved themselves "tops" in the number of summonses received to the office for a, — well, shall we say, "conferences." They show possibilities in the rarely acquired art of "tubing," and distinct tendencies to improve in the other and less difficult fields. However, as an example of the profound ignorance of the Juniors, we shall ask David Kraehenbuehl to step forward. David, who once defined a circle as a "round straight line with a hole in the center," has been chosen as a true rep- resentative of this class, — oh, woe ! — so soon to be Seniors. David, it is to you, as repre- sentative of those who have been tried and found wanting, as yet, that I, as representative of those who have so nobly stood the test of time, present this hatchet in the hope that the inspirations with which we have surely imbued you will serve as a guiding star in your deeds and misdeeds committed as Seniors. We harbor expectant confidence that you will endeavor to improve your lowly lot, which, in all seriousness is not quite beyond hope, and that you will treat our beloved hatchet as a dearly beloved child and let neither harm nor dishonor corrode its proud and glistening head. Stephen Pakkish Page Twenty U and I- I 9 3 8 fyuuiloA Reisponbe It is with extreme confidence that we, the present Junior Class and the Senior Class of tomorrow, receive this time-honored little instrument, which, for seventeen years, has been wrapped in the tradition of this venerable insti- tution, University High School. We accept it with exceeding courage, completely assured that we can keep it as sharp and bright as it is at present. However, in this matter we are confronted with many obstacles, chief of which is the unbelievably marvelous record of this departing Senior Class. They are, we might say, the most sophisticated class that this highly honored school turned out. In truth, they, themselves, believe that no high school has had a greater privilege than to instruct them. They have led us through thick and thin, even though a large part of the thick fell to the Juniors. Perhaps this was purposely dropped upon our shoulders to make us more experienced when our turn came. If this is true, we sincerely thank you Seniors and assure you that we will do the same for the coming Junior Class. To return to the uncanny virtues of the departing Seniors, they led in all intramural sports. Who won the basketball tournament? Who won the ping-pong tournament, the tennis tournament, or the badminton tournament? The answer is invariably "The Seniors," or "The Juniors." We feel very fortunate to be able to follow you, having the title or "tops," for we shall merely inherit the title. However, there are some titles which we shall not inherit, but shall have to win with our brain and brawn. I shall try to enumerate a few of our re- quisites, and cite a few examples. First, and most important, we feel that our methods of prejudicing the instructors, particularly the practice teachers, are much more refined than yours. We believe in cokes, candy, and ice-cream, not just an ordinary apple. We have also found that it helps a great deal to visit the homes of the math teachers. This always has a marvelous effect. Secondly, we find much more stock in our class than in yours. For instance, we have quantities of talent in both the dramatic and literary fields. Surely, there was never a finer play in the history of Uni High than the Junior play this year. Our talent assembly will be the bright star to which all future Junior classes will hitch their wagons. It would be well if some Senior classes would too. Although the Seniors claim all monetary results of the Marionette Show, it was the Juniors who made it possible. On the athletic field there were never such sharp-shooters or such runners. It is rumored that since we are remaining here another year, the gym is being enlarged and the turns on the race track widened. With the aid of this mass of undeniable truths, I have tried to impress the Seniors with the fact that we Juniors are perfectly able to keep this weapon — if, indeed, it may be called a weapon — from any blemish for a year to come. David Krakhknbukhl, fane Twenty-one U and I ^ I 9 3 W,elcxtni£ It is only at the end of a good thing that we pause and turn our eyes back- ward to review carefully each happy or unhappy incident. Every small detail is carefully considered and reviewed, its value minutely examined, appraised, and then set aside. From our gangling Freshman days, to our swaggering Senior year, we are conscious of every detail. Each year has burned its brand upon our mind, leaving behind the acrid smell of joy and struggle. Each year has carved its niche upon our shelf of memories. And it is from this shelf that we select each happening, to laugh or joke over it at the present. But we do not represent the spirit of University High School if we are continually dreaming of the past, reminiscing in the glow of our former glories. Instead, we are looking ahead — starkly staring at the future, vivid, tearing future, the path winding and tor- tuous, but always exciting and breath-taking. Finally we think we reach the peak where we can see our entire past laid out before us ; but to us it is not a peak, for we must go bounding and pushing upward and outward for greater ex- pansion — greater whether it be in the material sense of emoluments, or in the rising of the mind, one level at a time. Nothing matters but that we are con- tinually going forward. We should never have time to pause in retrospection, but should be so busy that our past sorrows and joys will be shoved aside for future hopes and plans. We congratulate you, whose success is our inspiration. If we can follow your example, we cannot fail. We will have time to broaden our friendship, time to engulf all that comes our way, time to store it for a future use. We want nothing of the past, for it is gone. Instead we strain to go forward, relying upon our past as only an aid in conquering the future. L,et this stand as a guidepost to us and you. Never look backward to the dead and dusty past, but always to the glorious future. We welcome and invite you to attend our first step into the future. What is attendant upon this we do not know. Our only wish is that you will be proud of us in this, our first success. Thomas Munson Page Twenty two nd I ===== I 9 3 8 3o^euAe££ It is difficult at any time to say good-bye and in saying it to express af- fection for those from whom we part and appreciation for their many kindnesses. To say good-bye in this way is doubly difficult for us who are high school seniors and who have come to the eve of our Commencement. Although for four years we have eagerly anticipated this occasion, upon its arrival we feel an unexpected sadness, a genuine regret that the ties of friend- ship binding us closely in our work and in our recreation must now be broken, as our little band separates and its members take their respective ways to fame and fortune. The termination of our pleasant association with the school is the only cloud on our happiness in achievement. To our Principal and to our patient and persevering teachers, who have aided us this far on our way, we owe more of gratitude than can be expressed in mere words. We trust that we have used the advantages of study, that they have placed at our disposal, to the utmost of our ability. They have guided our intellectual growth and fitted us for the duties of vocation and the activities of citizenship. The teachers have handed us the torch of inspiration. May we keep it ever alight ! Fellow students, of the class of 1938. we have labored together with com- mon interests toward a common goal. We have realized at last a measure of the success for which we have been striving; but alas, with this realization comes the necessity of parting. This is our last appearance as a class. After tonight we shall go our separate ways ; but though time and space may divide us, we shall always be joined in heart and spirit, and the memories of our days at University High School will always be cherished. May good fortune attend us, and may we remember that the training we have received is but the preparation in our youth for the sequel of our lives. Let us still find time to learn something worth- while since study is the task of youth, the business of maturity, and the pleasure of old age. Friends, may you recall only our virtues, forgetting our faults, and may the future bring you nothing but kind recollections of those who now bid you good night and good-bye.

ON THE ABUSE OF PHOTOGRAPHY Photography is a youth, and like many a youth it is nearly full grown, but still quite immature. It is sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, sometimes mischievous and occasionally very unkind. Photography today is a powerful force in our lives. One good news picture can tell a story accurately and in detail that would otherwise require hundreds of well-chosen words written by an expert. Modern cameras are smaller, and much more versatile than ever before. With an expensive miniature, with a fast lens, fast shutter, and fast him, one can get pictures that even the human eye cannot see. Let the cameraman, both amateur and professional, see the handwriting on the wall and take warning. If newspapers do not stop abusing their freedom, they will surely lose it. If that should happen, the art of photography would be dragged through the mud of government propoganda in a nation that still is free. Aside from the possibility of government interference, there are other things to consider. If press cameramen and their editors do not use more discretion, they will find that a cameraman can be very, very unpopular and that their un- truthful news pictures will not impress the public. Photography is like fire. It can be a source of pleasure or of great harm. It must be handled intelligently. — Arthur Buswki.i.

The sound of those deep bells goes further yet Than any ringer thinks to send their chime ; They echo in our hearts, and we forget To study, and we dream away the time. For it is spring again ; the chimes ring clear And sound the parting of the wars for some; Hut we who are still Juniors, yet shall hear Them ring out the hours' for a vear to come. -TOAN I ARRISII Pn,, Twenty six nd I =^ I 9 3 ^uniak Glabb HLtiaky, syo The Class of '39 has had a fine Junior year under the guid- ance of Priscilla Fletcher, president ; Harriet Rodebush, vice-presi- dent ; Isabel Case, secretary ; and Barbara Burt, treasurer. Miss Changnon and Miss Kramer have been our very capable advisors, and Milton Shedd presided over the candy sales. The Junior Party, given at Christmas time, was, of course, the best of the year. There were enough cookies for all present. The Junior rings were distributed about April Fool's Day, with Paul Johnson and his committee watching carefully. "Drums Of Death," the Junior mystery play was given by a very good cast under the competent direction of Miss Smith, on the evening of May 6. As we had foretold, it was an unparalleled success. The Junior-Senior banquet, given June 4, at the Urbana Country Club, was a fitting climax to our third year at Uni High. Next year, as Seniors, we shall attend that banquet as honored, and venerated guests. — Peggy Loom is Page Twenty seven U and I I 9 3 Bottom Roil> — Eugene Armstrong, Phillip Anderson, Alice Stiritz, Suzanne Clark, Barbara Holmes, Wendell Winkelman, John Schnebly, David Brown, Betty Ann Carter, Nancy Ruth, Virginia Allen, Robert Swartz, Earl Finder.

Under the massive Gothic walls, The Sophomore Class does stand ; The class, a mad house group is it, With Brains on every hand ; And the people in this motley horde Compose a brilliant band. Class in, class out, from morn' 'til night, You hear their measured treads ; You hear them shout in laughter loud While shaking their tousled heads. Oh, for the life of a Sophomore Free from worries and dreads ! Toiling, skipping, dancing Onward through school we go. Each morning sees some new assignment Each teacher, friends, and foes ; Something attempted, nothing done, Has troubled our night's repose. Hail, hail to thee, oh teachers mine For the changes thou has wrought ! Thus at the fountain of education We find what we have sought ; Thus in its brimming depths we find At last a worthy thought. — Rarbara Holmes Puf/r Twenty-eiyht nd I I 9 3 tfopdcunabe GlaM, Utitaby, cys As Sophomores, we the class of '40 upheld the school tradi- tion of being good Sophomores. Early in the school year we elected our class officers as fol- lows : John Schnebley, president ; Wendell Winklemann, vice-presi- dent ; Barbara Holmes, secretary ; and David Brown, treasurer. Miss Bower and Mr. Alstrom were chosen to lead us through the right path during the school year. We think our all-school party in February was quite a suc- cess. With the gym brightly decorated we danced to the music of Bob Barnes' Orchestra. Sophomores were outstanding both in scholarship and in activi- ties. Several boys were outstanding in athletics, three winning letters. Also Sophomores participated in the Puppet Show, as- sembly programs, and dramatic productions. Added to this was our own Sophomore Talent Assembly given in early May. It may be truthfully said that the class of 1940 hopes that they may fulfill the responsibility of being Juniors next year. — John Schnkbly I'nye 7 wenty nine U and 9 3 8 Bottom Row — Donald Kane, Ruth Casper, Mary Johnson, James Goodman, Mary Squires, Floyd Parks, Mary Sanford, Jack Cole, Christ Katsinas, Jean Tracy, Jewell Voorhees, Barbara Boulware, Yolanda Balseiro, Melvin Wagner, William Johnson.

O'Aei.dntari QJLabb Ttaem syo Although all Freshmen won't be Byrds, They're easily compared to birds. Birds have a very simple mind, But Freshmen have the complex kind. Birds learn how to build their nests, While Freshmen learn to pass their tests. The happy birds are a quiet lot, Compared to the Freshmen, who are not. Some birds migrate every year, But always turn up right back here. We trust the Freshmen simulate, And turn up here — but not too late. To resume their classwork and their fun. Carry on, Oh Class of "41"! — Lkf, Stkvfnson Page Thirty nd I I 9 3 8 O'Aeldmcui GOall HUtaky, It has been a common theory of all Seniors that Freshmen are the lowest vertebrates existing, and as such are good only for avoidance. However, this year's group has disproved that idea. They got oft" to a good start by electing Jack Cole, president ; Christ Katsinas, vice-president ; Mary Sanford, secretary, and Jean Tracy, treasurer. The Freshmen gave several note-worthy parties. There was a Hallowe'en party at Evelyn Straub's, a Christmas party at Ruth Jacobs', the annual Spring dance, which was the social event of a crowded season. Under the deft handling of Mr. Katra and Mr. Astell, the Freshmen have developed into polished socialites and wise students ; as such, they become Sophomores. — Tack Colk Page Thirty-one U and I. 19 3 8 "^°"^^S,S UI R ^L, T S;n'^^ ia VaVVter " Car0 ' *«*«*«".

Keen knowledge is our first intent (We're young, we're green, we're innocent) And loyalty we must acquire, Our teachers will us so inspire. On books we're taught to concentrate, In music to participate. As we can work, so also play, Athletics for each one holds sway. Industrial arts and cooking zeal, Activities picked for their appeal, Make up Sub-Freshmen's weekly plan To learn to do as best we can. Although our class is still unknown.

The officers : William Newcomb, president ; Thomas Phipps, vice- president ; Stella Jean Lehmann, secretary ; Jane Jordan, treasurer. We chose Mr. Goodson and Miss Kitchell as our class advisors. We had a Hallowe'en party at the home of Stella Jean Leh- mann, a Christmas party in room 308, and a Valentine party in the history room. We also helped the Freshman along with the all- school party in the spring. We gave a talent program in an assembly at which various members played the piano, sang, and gave readings. Also one of our members, Thomas Phipps, took part in the annual marionette show. We are grateful to the teachers that helped us to go through two grades in one year and become Freshmen a year earlier than we should otherwise have done. We are also grateful to the other members of the high school for helping us to become accustomed In the school and its ways.

The sun was shining, and I hurried as fast as I could to get outside. Peter Scarsetm. Qantaty The wind was cold on the little hill which gathered its shrubs about its rocky shoulders and attempted to remain serene. The wind hurled sharp blasts at the bare pine tree pointing to the sky. It was so tall that it cleaved the sky in two. But it was scrawny ; it was bare ; it was cold. And I was cold ; for the fires of my life had burned low, and my courage ran out like quick mice scurrying from cer- tain death. My hands were gnarled and twisted, seared with the brand of bitter- ness. But loveliness had touched my hands gently ; laughter had curled the corners of my pain-torn mouth, and love had powdered my hair with a silver wand. Fairies had whispered of far-away lands, and I had listened. Diana had beck- oned, and I had followed. Pan had laughed, and 1 had danced. People had pried into my soul, poking with greed}- fingers into my mind. They found only flowers' faces, sunlight hours, scraps of poetry, strains of weird melody. So they said I was mad ; they put me on the cold little hill with the slender tree, and I am cold. I am cold.

Then, since it was bedtime, our would-be-gardener's weary legs moved reluctantly toward the house. A back- ward glance and a deep sigh accompanied each forced step. That evening the pitter-patter of rain was heard by our tossing Sonny. A moment later a pug nose pressed itself against the window pane. Thus Sonny clutched the sill endeavoring to keep sleep off. Eventually the Sand Man con- quered. The next morning Sonny's mother felt a pathetic desire to cry and laugh when a very muddy, bedraggled bov gurgled — "Mother, my seed's still there and it's growing!" Then in answer to her questioning look, his small chest expanded and his joyous gurgle filled with pride as he piped, "I know 'cause I just went outside and dug it up to see !" Ruby Roxanh Lkks Page Thirty-nine U and I =^ I 9 3 8 MaAch Today is a beautiful day, as seen from the inside. The trees wave beckon- ingly through the window, the sun extends warm hospitality, and the green car- pet of grass motions intimately for one to come out. Coatless and defenseless, I decided to accept this challenge. I unsuspectingly pushed upon the door, my chest extended, ready to inhale a breath of warm spring air. A cold wind blew past my ears, caressing my neck with frigid fingers. A chilling blast drove the marrow of my bones to their deepest crevices. Methodi- cally, the gale gasped and rattled, worming its way under my shirt, waving my tie like a Communist banner, and rippling my hair like a ripe wheat field in August. I slid behind a wall, but that protecting friend did no good. The West Wind cleverly called the East Wind which came huffing and puffing around the corner. His breath whistled threateningly ; his brow wrinkled omniously ; and his cheeks became round as apples. With no more ado, I turned and scuttled before the buffeting. Forgetting to open the door, I ran headlong into it, fumbled with the doorknob, and finally slipped into shelter, broken and winded by the torrent outside. Oh, that cruel, jesting teaser, March.

The trees sighed, and spring seemed far away. The swelling buds re- tired into their brown blankets. Drearily the rain-drops slipped down the tree-trunks, slid over the weeds. The sky settled into soft clouds, and sobbed itself to slumber. Dorothy Quirke rUgAt £Lge Through the many-colored lights and strands of crepe paper could be seen a herd of milling people shoving aimlessly back and forth. While a screeching trombone blared forth its choppy notes, the scraping of tired feet and the pounding of drums melted into one monotonous, rhythmical beat. Now and then a small, faltering voice moaned out its sad and senseless tune. Over the tumult could be heard the banging and clashing of metal, while a sour note from a trumpet was clearly audible to all who were in the commu- nity. Now and then the tinkling of an off-key piano could be heard as its jazz-crazed pianist pounded and crooned his love song. While a strumming banjo sings out its notes, the herd stomps on. Now and then the clamor subsides, and the shuffiling of feet rises to the shoving of squeaky chairs. On through the night this "swing" band screams.

They say he's really got what it takes. 23 — Miss Kramer loses all patience with the one o'clock study hall, and here it's only the second week of school. Our model pupils must be slipping. 27 — Eight girls in a class where he is the only boy proves to be too much for John Murphey, who calls himself a real he-man. We wonder ! 29 — Barbara Holmes, a mere Sophomore, seems to lie furnishing some pretty stiff competition for some of the girls of longer standing here at our Alma Mater. OCTOBER 5 — Hal Bilyeu, a transfer from Findlay, is making quite a big hit here at Uni High. See the opposite sex for further information. 8 — No school today, because of a Teachers' Convention.

There are so many peo- ple in town it's hard to find a place to stand up. 2-1 — This year's lettermen disgrace the school by having their annual Hobo Day.

Each was amus- ing himself in his own quaint way. Byron Martin, fondly dubbed the "Woman's Home Companion," by Steve Parrish, sat idly pulling wings off unfortunate flies. Steve, in the meantime, wrinkled his brow in an effort to look thoughtful and suc- ceeded in looking only disgusted. A gavel thumped, and the Seniors jumped si- multaneously, then folded their cherubic hands, and smiled sweetly. Judge Duck- face surveyed them sternly and said, "Having found you children guilt}' of at- tending school, of getting good grades, and of perpetrating other high crimes and misdemeanors, I am hereby forced to bestow upon your depraved ( the Seniors nodded happily) brows the following honors consisting of one wasp nest to each named : Tom Munson, for making the course in par under the handicap of a twin sister. Isabel Butler, for trying anyhow. Margaret Burlison, for long distance running. (Remember her 18 medals in track?) Dorothy Huntington, for surviving final exams with the aid of asthma, hay- fever, and a conveniently sprained right hand. Ruby Lees, for her overworked feminine charm. Ruth Jordan, for introducing a quaint game of tag, sometimes known as "Rove on the Run". Hal Bilyeu, for keeping up the Max Harnish tradition; you know, "I'm a wonderful man". Bob Rrabbe, for succeeding Joe Opolka as the school Tar/.an - - Wahoo ! Emerson Hawkins, for stretching the truth further than we ever thought it possible .... but sometimes it bounces back. Jerree Adams, for keeping big events secret for the greatest possible time. John Murphey, for the best job of lock picking in the history of dear old Uni High.

The trees carry on a whispered conversation among themselves. A nightbird sings a sweet, but solemn song from a far-off glade. The golden sun sets slowly behind the rim. The great wall stretches out to me like beck- oning fingers. The canyons are tinged with purple and red. Dozens of tiny sparks suddenly fill the cool air, as fireflies come floating by. The towering walls and deep gorges reflect the peace and serenity of the place. Tall, lean pines be- gin to moan as the wind whistles around them. I hear the dainty click-click of tiny hoofs, as deer come to drink. A cold grey shadow drifts across in front of me. The deer spring, sending torrents of earth and rock down into the canyon. Now deep and far away comes the echo, gathering force, and shaking the great red walls. Now again, all is silence. A silvery moon pokes its head from behind a cloud. Wendell Winkelman Seadft Death comes; and when it comes to those near us, it takes away a part of us which never is replaced. Death strikes with a cold and merciless indiscrimina- tion. It takes away alike the infant, youth, and aged. Death strikes, and tears the happy baby from the world. It takes away unknown potentialities. Death comes to the youth about to reach his prime and leaves a space never to be quite filled in. Death strikes in spite of heartache, relief, or agony. To all, Death comes. Dorothy Huntington Page Forty-eight n d I I 9 3 XeWa-k Vainly I tried to fight it, but it was bound to come. I tried to read, but my eyes felt as heavy as a ton of bricks. The rival ticking of the two clocks, the sooth- ing murmur of a distant radio — both served as deadly weapons. I was alone. Even the crackling fire, which seemed to welcome me to a com- fortable evening, proved to be no consolation. The wind seemed to scorn my feeble attempts at making some noise, and with a hollow groan echoing down the chimney, I, terror stricken, in utter despair, flung myself down on the sofa to try to fall asleep. Mary Gordon Xde WflvLbio, Building, Of all the spots on the University Campus, the most attractive to me is the Music Building, Smith Hall. The place is pervaded with that intangible some- thing that some call atmosphere ; I prefer to think of it as the effect of so much music in the air, music at its best. It is not definite, concise, and mathematical music, but music more reminiscent of memories of the past in the time of the great masters ; music in which the "lost chord" may have been re-created, un- heard by any human ear, only to drift away again into silence among the columns, balconies, and marble stairways of Smith Hall, whence it came.

Janr Crrighton Page Foi ty n in U a n d I =^ 19 3 8 "9AaMty £ake," Of all of my vacations, I can think of none more interesting" and exciting than the one at Grassy Lake. This lake is located ten miles from Texarkana, Arkansas. It was formed by a sort of basin, and it now covers three thousand five-hundred acres. The depth of this lake is approximately four or five feet excepting in the center. Here, the water's depth is fifteen or twenty feet and is infested with alligators, snakes, and other types of water animals. This lake is so dense with cypress trees and cypress "knees" that in order for us to find our way about, we had to follow white flags that had been attached every so often to the trees in order to form a route. Near the edge, where the water is more shallow, long, green weeds can be seen on the bottom. This is how the lake pro- cured its name. You all have seen pictures of jungles and what inhabits them. Although this place is not exactly considered a jungle, it represents one so well that I could hardly restrain from looking for cannibals. This feeling was especially great on a warm, gloomy night. The stillness, broken only by the steady noise of insects and an occasional lonely call of some bird, gave me a creepy feeling that I had never sensed before. If someone had made the exclamation "boo," I am afraid that the boat would have returned to camp with but one man left to row. Despite all of the tales and our different feelings, there was also the beau- tiful part of the vacation. The cabins were located on the side of the hill, all equipped with electricity, gas, and refrigeration. To lie in bed early in the morn- ing and look out of the window at the scenery, with one or two large, white cranes against the blue sky as a back-ground, was a pleasure that will never be forgotten. Hal E. Bilyku Match When I looked up, the man was staring evilly through the doorway. His eyes were gleaming and predatory, and his body was rigid and stiff. "Shall we drink?" he asked feebly. I was fearful as I watched him drink, but thankful that he had not noted the change of glasses. All at once, he fell backwards, attempting to scream. His eyes were red now. red with vengeance: but it was I who had won it. He was dead. I left the house quickly and saw him no more. Rosalie C.ai.kknkm Paqe Fifty n d I ^ 19 3 8 Out, &&nLoA y,&a>i The Senior year is said to be the most enjoyable period in our high school career. We have met many new students and are well acquainted with our pres- ent classmates. The Senior teachers who are now our friends, not merely our instructors, seem to be conducting the courses in a more grown up manner than did our previous teachers. We surely do appreciate this fact. As a relief from our difficult studies, we are allowed to attend numerous outside activities. Being called sophisticated and dignified doesn't seem to bother us. In fact, I believe we rather like it. Just the thought of being a Senior seems to inspire us most. Margaret Buruson QotJUqe. £l§z It is generally conceded that college life is disorderly. I agree with the statement heartily after visiting my friend John, a Freshman. For a week after moving in, my friend's room resembled the path of a hurricane. Books, maga- zines, photographs, cameras, and clothes! It looked as if he had left his accumu- lation of clothes of about five days on the floor. The bed was unmade, and the furniture was in the middle of the room. In fact I couldn't tell what I was step- ping upon. The only admission was by a path from the door to the desk. Byron Martin &omnotzbc&rit Sleep — ah to drift into its embracing arms; to leave this world behind that curtain that cloaks sleep from the outside. Just once more to feel the cool, rest- ful peacefulness of sleep approaching — to happily release myself into its powers. Powers to make me forget, imagine, and build bright and high hopes for the fu- ture. The sweet contentment, feeling myself slipping — slowly at first, then rush- ing madly against time until I finally sink into a cool, dark mist which com- pletely absorbs me — endless peace. Rest at last ; going on forever — forever — Ruth Jordan Page Fifty-one U and I ^ | 9 3 Uamec^min,g, at 9££maU Noise, banners flying, people hustling in gaiety are only a few of the signs of Homecoming. To a number of us this event comes only once a year, and it leaves a lasting memory. Homecoming to me means the returning of students to a school which they have formerly attended or to a place that they will always, more or less, call their home. And we who are left behind call it more than home ; it is the University of Illinois. Isabllle Butler tfiiieA, oa ?*M? There seems to be no limit to my younger sister's curiosity. Never a day goes by that she doesn't want to know something. If she doesn't want to know where I am going, or where I was, she wants to know why I was. If Dad gives me something, she wants to know what it is for, and why I got it, or she has to have some, too. She has to know where, why, or what all day. Sometimes she wants to know what, but not about the dishes. Donald Bruss Pauccalaureate and Commencement exercises. A few members were selected to play with the All-State Orches- tra.

Page Sixty-one U a n d I =^ I 9 3 Oideb ActlmltLzb cyt> Among the activity groups was the Dramatic Club, which was made up of about thirty-five girls and boys, with Miss Smith as the sponsor. This group studied play adaptation, make-up, interpretation, creative writing, and extem- porary dramatics. They also gave plays and, during the hrst semester, presented a dramatic night program, consisting of three one-act plays. Another very interesting, as well as useful, club was the Home Economics Club for Boys. The boys' work included talks on personality, and on how high school boys should dress. The boys learned how to cook many different dishes. They studied out-door cooking, marketing, etiquette, and the art of serving a banquet. They made field trips to dairies, bakeries, and candy shops. They ob- tained valuable experience by serving at the Annual Athletic Supper. This club, which was one of the most popular clubs of the year, was composed of about twenty boys, under the sponsorship of Miss Dickie. The Models Club, sponsored by Mr. Goodson, was another favorite of the bovs. Their projects were building model airplanes, model ships, and radio sets. There were thirteen boys in this group. Girls interested especially in athletics were in the Leader's Group, under the direction of Miss Marshall. The sixteen girls in this club learned how to um- pire and referee games, how to assist in gym classes with stunts, and how to be squad leaders in gym classes. They also assisted Miss Marshall with the county playday, which was held at this school. The Typing Club, composed of nine boys and girls under the direction of Mrs. Hagan, was a very worthwhile club. The members learned the keyboard of the typewriter and the technique of typing, using the touch system. They typed to music, arranged material on half sheets, and took time tests. This year, the Handicraft Club was divided into three groups. Miss Tern- had charge of a group of twenty girls, who knitted, crocheted, embroidered, and did other sorts of hand-work. For the first semester Mrs. Neff directed the be- ginners in shop work, such as wood carving, burning, and working ; linoleum block printing; metal tapping; and other industrial arts. Mr. Thrall directed the ad- vanced people in shop work for the first semester, and at the beginning of the sec- ond semester, admitted to this group the beginners who had been with Mrs. Neff". There were fourteen girls and boys in the shop work group. Page Sixty-two 9 3 8 Bottom Row — Eddie Bussman, Hal I'ilyeu, Thomas Munson, Stuart Tanner, Eugene Van Vranken, Mr. Alstrom. Second Rote 1 — Jack Cole, Robert Clevenger, Robert Edgar, John Hunter, Harry Swartz, Peter Scarseth, James Goodman, Earl Finder (Mgr.). BxuMJkM Primarily, through the efforts of Coach Willmer Alstrom, who is com- pleting his fourth successful year at University High School, and Captain Tom Munson, who led in scoring and enthusiasm, a team was developed that could boast a better season than that of any previous year. The boys of the squad, in turn, supplemented this leadership with hard work and constant loyalty. The season opened auspiciously when University High defeated Gifford in its first game. Although many shots went astray, much promise was shown. Leading by one point in the first half, our team pulled out ahead to win the game in the second half, 19 to 7. It was nip and tuck all the way through the Seymour game, with Seymour having a slight edge in the fourth quarter. Therefore, Captain Bullrnger, of the opponents, held his team to a stall, thus winning 20 to 15. Uni High won its next two games against Penheld and Ogden. We were easy victors in the Penheld game. 26 to 15, but Ogden was subdued only after a hard struggle, and then by the score of 19 to 17. Page Sixty-three U and I 9 3 Uni High was downed 33 to 8 by a tall Philo team, which later won the county championship. This group had the advantage of being able to drop the ball into the basket, therefore saving quantities of energy. In the next game our great rivals from the little town of St. Joseph defeated us 38 to 24, thereby keeping the travelling cup, which has been going back and forth between the two schools for many years. Captain Munson headed the scor- ing for Uni High with twelve points. We are hoping next year's team will re- venge this crushing defeat. Uni High brought up her average by winning the next two games without any trouble. Our Alumni were handed a disastrous defeat of 27 to 12 just before the Christmas holidays, and Ludlow was trampled underfoot in a 42 to 20 go. Deland defeated Uni High in the next game as another thriller was added to records. The two teams ran neck and neck with Deland winning by a free throw in the last few seconds. The last few minutes of the game were played without Captain Munson, who went out on fouls. In the next two games Gifford was handed her second defeat of the year by the tally of 27 to 15, and Fisher was beaten 31 to 22 for the first time in many seasons. In the Fisher game Eddie Russman led the scoring with 8 points. Uni High lost the next two regular games to Philo and Sadorus. The tall boys from Philo were still too much for us, although we did pick up. Sadorus. however, had a hard time defeating us, and when the gun exploded to end the game, we had lost only by the score of 26 to 23. Uni High ran up the big score of 49 to 27 against Pesotum, and Coach Alstrom substituted freely. Revenge is sweet ! We defeated Seymour in the second game with that team, largely as a result of Mr. Alstrom's strategy. The game had been one of rush, and it was steadily tiring our boys. Although we were losing, Mr. Alstrom sent Peter Scarseth in with orders to hold the ball. "Pete" stood out in front of the defense for a solid quarter with the ball tucked under his arm. After this rest, our boys spurted to win the game 24 to 23. Mansfield was defeated in the next game by the score of 34 to 21 with Scar- seth, Munson, and Hunter scoring nine points each. The substitutes again had a chance to strut their stuff, the very same stuff with which they won 10 out of 12 second team games. In the County Tournament on January 25, Mahomet, another team with height, defeated us 31 to 17. Our boys put up a great fight and held their own until the last quarter but were too exhausted from reaching up at the ball to win. We had the consolation of knowing that the Mahomet team was runner-up. More- over, in this game Swartz and Munson both left on personals. Page Sixty-four U a n d I =^ I 9 3 For the regional we had the misfortune of drawing Urbana. John Hunter and Tom Munson fouled out. We also missed Harry Swartz, who was out with an injured knee. Consequently the team was defeated, in spite of its gallant attempts.

His ability and popu- larity were powerful inspirational forces behind the team's victories. Tom's place, as forward and guard, will be difficult to fill. Eddie Bussman, guard and forward, was an indispensable cog in the coordi- nation of the team. By his excellent defensive play he checked the offensive threats from star players on other teams. He always fed the ball to other mem- bers of the team, never forgetting to put first the good of the team. Harry Swartz, next year's captain, played fine basketball as center and for- ward although he was kept out of a few struggles by a knee injury. His depend- ability and height in the games went far in aiding the team. We are wishing Harry a good season next year. Stuart Tanner had an eye for the basket — as well as other things. He usually played guard and was often known to sink two or three long shots in succession during a game. Speed has been one of his greatest assets. He was withheld from many games because of a sprained ankle. Hal Bilyeu, a transfer student playing his first and, unfortunately, his last year at Uni High, played guard. Hal's fighting spirit was one reason for his becoming the second highest scorer on the team. He has been well liked around the school and will be missed next year. John Hunter, rebounding Junior of Uni High, fought his way from a place on the reserves to a position on the first team. He continued to fight thereafter. His height was of great use both on the tip-off and under the basket. We are sure he will be of even more help next year. Peter Scarseth, substitute forward, is the only Sophomore letterman. He has surprising ability for hitting the basket, and we are all hoping "Pete" will go far on next year's team. With experience gained this year, Peter should be- come an integral part of next year's basketball team. Robert Clevenger did not play the required time to win a letter award this year, but because of his regular attendance at practice during the past four years, and because of his willingness to help his teammates, he received this award. W. O. A. Earl Finder fulfilled successfully the job of manager for the Uni High team. His good nature, fine sense of responsibility, and willingness to work were high- ly valued by the team.

Tom also did the high jump. Stuart Tanner, also graduating this year, ran in the 100 and the 220 yard dashes, and the 880 yard relay. Hal Bilyeu threw the javelin for Uni High this year. Hal's throwing has given us many points in our track meets. Hal is another senior. Eddie Bussman participated in the 880 yard relay, the high jump, and the broad jump. This is his last year also. John Murphey leaves after this year. He ran the 880 yd. run for Uni High. "Bunny" Van Vranken, Sophomore, ran in the 440 yard relay and partici- pated in the high jump. "Bill" Tomaras, Junior, ran the 220 and 440 yard dashes. Milton Shedd, Junior, was one of our 440 yard sprinters. Robert ( Oscar) Edgar ran the 880 yard dash this year. Robert Swartz, Sophomore, was another of our javelin throwers. Harry Swartz, third year student, put the shot. David Brown, Sophomore, ran the 50, 100, and 220 yard dashes. He was a member of the relay team and was in the broad jump besides. Jack Cole is a Freshman. He does the 440 yard dash and the 880 yard relay. Jack also entered in the broad jump.

William Tomaras wrestled in the one hundred five pound class this year. He is the capable past captain and the captain-elect. Bill has lost three bouts this year and has won four. Those who are graduating are with me, I am sure, in wishing Captain Tomaras a suc- cessful season next year. Jack Cummings wrestled in the one hundred fifteen pound class. He is a small wiry chap with plenty of determination. Jack won three out of five struggles and will do even better next year with added experience. John Murphey, wrestling in the one hundred twenty-five pound class, is the only Senior on the squad. This is his first year of experience on the mat. He is very tricky and powerful and will certainly be missed next year. Everett Herman has won three out of five bouts and is one of our wrestlers who has won a match in the State. His interest in this sport is outstanding, for often he has been seen grappling after the wrestling season. Jose Lowry won two out of four bouts and is the other wrestler who won a bout in the State. Jose's sportsmanship and good nature make him a valuable member of the squad. Jimmy Embry, school humorist, is certainly one boy we should look up to. His long legs and arms proved to be very adept at wrestling. He has won two matches and will be back next year to win some more. David Burlison, a Freshman, will return this coming year. He has shown much ability for his first year, and we are confident he will have greater success next year. Peter Cardiff, our ninety-five pounder, is another boy that will be sweating in the gym next year. Although Peter has not won any matches this year, he will be improved for the next season. Richard Hoffman, manager of the wrestling team, has looked after the team for two years. He has tended to the slightest exigencies of the boys throughout this time. His career as manager has been one of efficiency. Page Sixty-eight nd I = I 9 3 8 7A& WAeMimg, &exH,on University High's wrestling team was coached this year by Mr. McGill, a university student, and captained by Bill Tomaras, who will also lead the team next year. The first two meets of the season were held at Uni High. Danville High School defeated us 25 to 10. John Murphey and Jack Cummings won by falls, thus giving us our ten points. In the other meet Catlin won by the close score of 25 to 20. The next match was held at Danville. The Danville team defeated us again, 33 to 0. John Murphey just missed getting points for us, but lost by a decision. Our wrestling team won its next tussle against Farmer City by the decisive score of 20 to 5. The next four meets were lost to Catlin, 21 to 18; Farmer City 21 to 9]/z ; Urbana, 29 to 3, and Champaign, 34}^ to \ l />. An improvement was made in the Catlin meet, but was followed up by a disaster at Farmer City. In the next match, we lost to Urbana again, 21 to 11. However, the law of averages shows much advancement in this last meet, for we made a gain of six- teen points. Although we have lost many matches this year, next year we will have a well- trained team under the able leadership of Captain Bill Tomaras.

TENNIS Although in past years pupils of University High School have engaged in tennis tournaments, this is the first year a tennis team has been organized. The team played nearby schools and entered the State-district tennis tournament at Hoopeston, Illinois. A fine start has been made. May the students of Uni- versity High School continue the good work in the future. The team was com- posed of Stephen Parrish, Tom Munson, Byron Martin, Benny Clark, and John Schnebly. AND OTHERWISE Many intramural sports were played this year. Tournaments were held in table tennis, basketball, tennis, and chess. The "Hotshots" consisting of Peter Scarseth, Jewell Vorhees, Paul Johnson, Le Roy Baum, Benny Clark, Floyd Parks, and Eugene Armstrong, won the basketball tournament ; Peter Scarseth won the boys singles in table tennis, and Pierre Noyes was victor over Lee Steven- son in the chess championship. Approximately forty boys participated in swimming and diving this year. Every Friday and Saturday, the physical education classes had instructional and recreational swimming.
