TO THE BOYS OF CHAMPAIGN HIGH SCHOOL WHO ARE DEFENDING THE PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY WE DEDICATE THIS VOLUME OF THE MAROON
THE MAROON
OUR HONOR ROLL vi itor, on coming into the high chool building by the main entrance, is confronted with our beautiful ervice flag with its two hundred and five star~ . We are proud of this fla~. not a a beautiful example of the ~eamstre ·. 's art, but because each star represent a student or an alumnus of Champaign High School who ha gone to erve under that other flag, which i o dear to us all. There are three stars in our ervice flag that mean more to u. , if such a thing were pos. ible, than any of the other . The gold star represent three alumni who have died in the ervice of their country. It is our privilege to honor them in thi meager way. If the vi itor will turn to the right, he will find in a conspicuous place on the bulletin board, a list-we call it our honor roll-bearing the name, the rank, and the addre s of each boy repre ented by a -tar on the flag. This serves as a r minder to u that we hould write to our friends in ervice. Those who return from a vi it to the front tell us that the oldiers desire more than anything el e, a letter from home. Thi request i so mall in comparison with the great acrifices they are makin for us, that it seems inconceivable that any hould fail to respond. The boys will never forget tho e who wrote to them. They have gone quietly, a few at a time. They will come back all together, with great rejoicing. Amid the rejoicin~ we hall feel that we have had orne part in keeping up the "line of communication" with home, while they were fighting their fight and our fight "over there". \Ve have made an effort to ecure the names of all the boys in service, who have at orne time attended Champaign High School. It will be appreciated if the reader will report any name that belongs on the honor roll and has unintentionally been omitted. Branches of ervice repre ented: Army, 172; Navy, 23; l£arines, 3; Unclassified, 7; Total 205.

LETTERS FROM OUR BOYS HE tudents of the Champaign High School feel amply repaid for their efforts in ending a little Christmas cheer into the hearts of our enlisted men.

BACH, Capt. f. R. C. Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Mi Switzer: I have been very slow in getting around to thank you and C. H. S. for the Xmas box.

They are so ~arce, and one craves them as never pefore. . . . . . Faithfully your , JOHN A. SELLARDS, c. H. s. 1905 France. Dear Friends Julia and Lenore: That box of "Honest to Goodness" American chocolates was a most plea ant urprise and it was appreciated by me from the bottom of my heart. The good ole C. H. S. colors staring me in the face, gave me a thrill that I have never experienced before. Geo. Boone and Claude Kirkpatrick received a box apiece also. So we all got together and gave a good ole "Champaign" yell that rang all through France. . . . . . . We are going to celebrate our Xmas, with a big feed and a Xmas tree in our barracks. We went out ye terday and bought a Holly tree from a peasant. Then we took all of the tinfoil off our candy and wrapped it around little rocks. Then by using the ribbons on our Xmas packages, we hung up our tinfoil rocks on the tree and you really cannot imagine how pretty it looked. Tonight (Xmas eve) our barracks will give some up-to-date tunts. o in all we are going to spend a happy Xmas. Thanking you again for your kind gift. I wish to extend to you and the C. H. S. students and faculty my best wishes. Sincerely, Mu CIA P. G. PICK 'ELL P. S.-How did the Champaign- rbana game come out?

France. Dear Friend : Received your highly appreciated Xmas box yesterday. No one except the U. S. boys in service in France can possibly realize how welcome i a gift of this kind. French candy would only "get by" in a pinch. Our first snow was very welcome because what is winter without now. Thanking everyone for remembering the boy and for the kind gift, I am, Sincerely, F. GAYLORD HOFFMA. France. Champai2"n High School : I am taking this mean of expre . ing my thanks and appreciation of the Chri tmas gift and good wi h, I received a few days ago. Somebody realized that a soldi r craves sweets and I am mighty glad they did. It is rather invigorating to be itting in a dimly lighted tent at night and reach under the bunk for a chocolate bar, and one feel exrtremely delighted to know that it all is the re ult of some very dear friends at home. Again thanking you, v. I. JOH TO. France. To the Student of C. H. S. Dear Friends: The large box of chocolate has been received in fine condition and I a. sure you that no gift could be more acceptable, and I thank you all very much.

I hope 1918 may be as successful in every way. Sincerely, HARLOW A.t:BARY

Concentration Camp, Morrison, Va. My dear :Miss Switzer: Today, I was the recepient of a v ry fine Xma.· packages from the high . chool. I do not know first, who I am indebted to, but I take for granted that by addressing you, the thanks will be conveyed to the proper . ource. The package was a complete ·urpri ·e to me, and needless to say, a very pleasant one. It is extremely cheering to discover that some one or group of "some ones" is thinking of the boys in service, and as nearly every man in my company shar d the box in a small way, I want to expre s a deep felling of gratefulness in behalf of my. elf and the "boy·". I am writing thi. on a suit-case on my bed and every once in a while on of the boys jumps over on my cot and- result-many erasures. The most intere ting and exciting divertisement we have is receiving mail and that, many times is disappointing, o if anyone wants to write to a Sammy who is soon going over, and who does not receive much mail, if they will communicate with me, I will give them the name . I wouldn't mind hearing myself. Plea.e read thi to those responsible for my plea. ant Xma, .·urprise or thank them, and to you IJ:is Switzer, my good friend, I will say, Merci B eaucau]J. Yours very sincerely, SGT. S. S. BAS ETT Portsmouth, Va. Dear Mi witzer: I hope you will pardon my tardiness in thanking dear old . H. S. as a whole for the splendid Christma box you ent me. Sharing it with my companions caused it to vani h at an alarming rate of speed, but don't think for a moment that we didn't enjoy it and appreciate it, for we did. It wa a great surpri e and delight to me to have you remember me at all. I trust you have experienced the feeling that such kindnesses bring you, but you can't know fully the little Ia ting sensation of delight it brought me. I enjoy scanning over the program for the old familiar names and wonder if you could send me a list of C. H. S. students and alumni, in the ervice, and their various duties. I certainly would appreciate it. . . . . . . Plea e let me hear more from you and old C. H. . Wishing you a happy and ·uccessful 1918, I am, Your old pupil and friend, CLOYDE SMITH
France. To thoughtful ones of Champaign High: On Christmas eve your box of candy, and goodie reached me in excellent conclition. The a ortment was suited to a king's taste. You may be sure that there i. · nothing left, even a reminder, aside from the enclo ed program. Ju t as in the years when I attended Champaign High School, I am reminded that the institution has a oul and heart. We who have left, and gone out into the world, look back on high school days as the happiest of our live . While there, we were able to nurse and enlarge our ambition , a joy almo t inde cribable. Now that so many of u have gone abroad, and so many are going, the pictures and scene of the chool, little incident happening in the various rooms, flash through our minds more intensely. "Over eas", long distances cau e each of u to feel more or less melancholy and the good times in Champaign appear better than ever. Your presents have brought home to us, again, the happy days in your school and the fact that where there i a heart, we'll not be forgotten. I thank you all very, very much for your gift.

THE MAROON Camp Logan. Dear Friend : I am writing in a feeble effort to tell you how I appreciate the handsome Christma box comin2' to me from dear old Champaign High. It has been . everal days since I received the box and I beg forgivene.·s for not letting you know . oon r of it· . afe arrival. I often think of old time at C. H. . and only wi ·h that I had them to live over again for I know they were four of the happie t years of my life. I have always been greatly interested and proud of the Maroons athletic achievem nts and was certainly gratified with the football showing of this fall which culminated with the overwhelming defeat of our ancient rival. But this i!'; getting entirely away from the subject of Christmas and the cheer brought to me by the .chool box and the fact that I, with many other alumni in ervice, have not been forgotten by our Alma Mater.

And so will honor every one And welcome them once more, And to each one for what he's done We'll sing hi praise o'er.

OUR PRAYER Into thi great world conflict, To do and dare and die, Two hundred boys have gon From the hall of Champaign High. Some are yet this side of the ea, And orne are "over there"; But for our boys where'er they ¡be, We beathe thi earnest prayer: "Dear God of Peace and Ju tice, Our boys have gone away To fight for world-wide liberty; Look down on them, we pray. "Oh, guide and guard and love And keep them clean and Full worthy men to fight and 'Neath the red and white

"And if a few of them mu t die, That Liberty rna ylive, Father, to their Ia t earthly hours Thy blessed presence give. "\Ve cannot hope they all come back To be with u once more; But we would pray they all be men Amid t the cannon's roar. "We pray, dear Lord, that orne way come, When War's wild cry shall cease, And in the heart of all men lie Thy everla ting Peace."

SERVICE OF CHAMPAIGN HIGH SCHOOL 1917-1918 SUPERINTENDENT W. W. EARNEST'S BIT HAMPAIGN HIGH SCHOOL claims, with pride, uperintendent Earne t' c-ontribution to his country. It i invaluable as a reference book. othing in the way of war literature compares with it in presenting facts. Its simple, direct tyle, appeal to both child and man. Questions and Anszrers Concerning the War was published about Christma time, o Mr. Earnest may look upon it as his gift to Uncle Sam. This little pamphlet has b en of great aid to teacher and students in familiarizing them elve with the great war problems of the pre ent day. Each Engli h class has devoted one month to the tudy of these que tions. The book was prepared expressly for the chools of Champaign, but within three months it was used in more than one hundred and fifty !->chool ·ystems scattered from Maine to California. It has a circulation of thirty-three thou and copies. The price merely covers the printing and distribution. "This War Catechism is to be kept up to date, no matter what turn the war may take," said Mr. Earnest. As evidence of the importance of this work, opinion of two prominent men are here quoted:
C
A. E. Win hip, editor of the Journal of Education, Boston: "I have not been as greatly impressed with any other pamphlet on this war from any standpoint as with your \Var Questions. The U. S. Government should circulate it by the million copies. It is of the greatest po sible value to all teachers and pupils,-indeed, to every home in the land." Prof. W. C. Bagley, Columbia Univer ity: "You have done a plendid piece of work and the uperintendents and teacher who have felt the need of uch a ter e and teachable ummary will ri e up and call you bles~ed."

THE BOY'S BIT HERE never ha been, in the hi tory of the world, a war to compare with the present one, in the number of countrie engaged, the greatne of the armie , and the demand upon the material re ource . For four years of the war, the Allies re orted to every expedient to meet the e demands. \Vhen Uncle am entered the war, he was immediately called upon to open hi va t trea ure house in the intere t of humanity. He called upon hi loyal ons to upport their demoratic principle , and they an wered his call. Then he called for the dollars to back the e gallant men, who would . oon be fighting, and again the p ople an wered. Tho_e who could not go to war were a.·ked to do their bit at home, by lending him their money and by con.erving all r l'Ources.

THE MAROON The boys of hampaign High chool heard thi plea.· and many a young lad enli ted in the army or navy. 'lany al:o, wer the lads whose hearts wer heavy becau. e they were not old enough to enli t. The:e loyal lads turned their energy in another direction and with true American pirit aided ncle Sam by doing their bit. THE Y. M. . A. A 'lP AIG Early in the fall, Dr. Heironymous, a great whole-hearted war-worker, addres:ed the high school boys in behalf of the Y . II. C. A. fund. He made known to them that the American boy~;> under the draft age were contributing to thi · fund, money which they them elve, earned, or :aved. He dwelt long and earnestly upon th benefit. resulting from having a Y. 1£. C. A. hut at every army and navy cantonment. So strong wa hi appeal that the boy pledged one thou;and dollars. Under the leadership of ~lr. Gooding, three team. of workmen were organized, and within two days the,·e team .tirred up ;uch patriotic fervor in high .chool that the pledge. exceeded their quota. To cap this successful campaign the t ams organized a parade, and . tudenL and teacher· marched down the main treets of the city like conqu ron; of old, headed by a banner which r ad "Over the Top". BO DS A D THRIFT STAMPS Champaign High chool boys so pleased Uncle Sam in their fir ·t effort." that he again called upon them for financial aid. They ·howed their faith in the men at Washington by using their savings of years to buy Liberty Bond and Thrift Stamps. The total amount of bond. belonging to teachers and tudent in hi~.rh chool i: close to ten thousand dollar.. They aved their quart r. and bought Thrift Stamps and War avings tamp to the amount of eight hundred and twenty-two dollars. The Ia. t total is for students only. THE BOYS' STU T SHOW Tot only did the boys give what money they could .ave and earn, a: individuals, but they made money as a body, for their country. In December, they presented a ·ix act stunt show to one of the best hou e. of the year. The net proceed:, about cwo hundred dollars was u ed to fill boxes for the boys in ervice and to fit up the high school Red Cross room. By [ORRIS HUGHES, '18. HLITARY TRAI I TG The barberry campaign was just finished when volunteers were called for instruction in military training. Three times a week, after 3:00 o'clock, the boys practice military tactics and fight ham trench battle on the high school lawn. They are fitting them elve , o that when Uncle Sam beckons them to "cross the way", they will be in part prepared fro their duties "over there". Thi ha been the last call. But the Spirit of '17-'18 is strong and is ready at all times to an wer when called. THE BARBERRY CAMP AIG In lfarch, Uncle Sam is ued a pamphlet urging high chool boys to wage a war on the European barberry bu h. Statistics proved that the number of bushels of wheat harvested falls far short of what would naturally be expected from the number of bushels planted. It further revealed the startling fact that the shortage is due to rust, which is harbored by seemingly harmless barberry bush. This rust has been known to travel a far a ix hundred miles.

Y. L C. A. GA 1E TABLE to gra. p every opportunity for helping ha · been the keynote for var . ervice, thi.· year, throughout the high school. The boys in the :\1anual Arts Department, under the direction of Ir. Wilson, did their "bit" by making fifteen game table!' for army cantonments. The Bureau of Education ent out circulars with the plan· and pecifications for making the tables. It sugge ted that only skilled workmen hould be p rmitted to do the work, for the tables would be ubjected to rough u. age and accurate workmanship was nece ary. The quota for the clas was ten tables, but the boys a.ked to make fifteen. Practically all the boys enrolled in the department had ~ome part in making the tables. The table tops, 2 feet by 3 feet in size, were of the knock down style. Two checker-boards, 9 inche by 9 inche. each, wa painted on each top in red and white squares. The whole table wa shellacked in natural color. After completion, the table were placed on exhibition in the window of .!Jr. Kiler' furniture store, where they attracted much attention.

OUR CONTRIBUTIO" TO THE RED CROSS The Pageant of thl' Ages was pre.ented on iay 12 and 13, by the girl in the gymna ium cia e., assi ted by a few boy.. The proceeds of th first performance was pre en ted to the local Red Cro. !<. In acknowledgment of the gift, Miss Switzer received the following letter: lfiss Lottie Switzer, City. My dear Mis.

Very truly yours, M:R . :\1. H. ;\icCow , 'cc'y. By HELE. R SELL, '18. RED CROSS WORK While the boy have been doing their bit, the girls have not been idly looking on. They have b en doing what they could for the cau e by making surgical dre sing . Between fifty and sixty girls are giving at least two hours a week to making tandard urgical dre ings. The. e dre ings have been found to fulfill the requirement of all surgeons and are u ed in our ho pita! today. The number of dressings made in two hours depends upon the kind of dres ing made and the number of girl in attendance. The average number made in two hour i two hundred. From the opening of the Red Cro room to the pre ent time, April 26, 191 , the girl have worked i.·ty-four hours. In this time they have made three thousand even hundred fifty- ix dre.'. ings. The general sentiment in regard to Red ro s work is that it i delightful. Our instructor , Mrs. Capron and Mrs. Burnham, with their assistants, make the conditions so plea ant that we look upon the two hour a periods of recreation. By FREIDA CR E, '18. HOUSEHOLD SCIE" CE DEPART:\iE T Under the direction of Miss Voss, the classes in textiles have been doing their bit. .. ot only have they done profitable work in the regular form, but they have sewed for the Belgian children. They have made all kinds of garment. , from underclothing to cap , dre ,e , infant outfit and jackets. A ide from the Belgian Relief work, the three classes of twenty-four girls each, have worked for the Red Cro s one recitation period each week. They have finished two dresses, two dozen jackets, eight hoods, numberles booties, infant robes, and pillows. In making these articles, scraps and remnant of material have been utilized. The cooking cia ses have al o been doing their bit in the way of conservation. Under the direction of IJ:i s Opie, and a hort course under Univer ity . tudents, meat, wheat, ugar, and fat and their substitute have been carefully • tudied and their use put into practice. Through experiment , it has been found that rye flour i the best sub titute, since it furnishes the large t amount of ~Iuten next to wheat flour. Corn flour, potato flour, and rice flour have been utilized in making excellent bi. cuits, quick breads and pa tries, both at school and at home. Fat, we on oil, oleomargarine and cri co have been ub tituted for butter and lard; while corn yrup and honey have been used in the place of sugar. Meat sub titutes have also been studied and it has been found that fish, eggs, and combination of rice, chee e, and eggs are very delicious and take the place of meat. The girl are real conservers-both by practising the use of ubstitute at home and by telling their friend and neighbors what can be done in thi line and till have well-balanced meals.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1918 N the fall of the year 1!.114, we, the cla s of nineteen hundred and eighteen fir t made our bow to Champaign High School. This wa a memorable year in our hi tory. For the first time we had only four cour, e , a different teacher for each subj t, forty-five minut r citation period , and, be t of all, a three minute interval for promenading in the corridors. So proud were we of our new home, that even the workmen redoubled their efforts to complete the building by Chri tmas. The gymnasium, th wimming pool, and the auditorium gave unlimit d scope for our varied ability, nor were we slow to take advantage of all the e opportunities. Our clas will go down in hi:tory as a class which has established new cu toms and improved those already existing. As a result of our efforts, the Latin Club and Science Club flourished, the Athletic A .. ociation dance wa a success. \Ve initiated the custom of presenting an opera and cho 路e the ever-popular "Sherwood's Queen". Of course, out of deference to their age, we p rmitted the seniors to have the honor reles; we were satisfied with chorus part路. The reputation we made during this year, we maintained and evn improved upon throughout the years that followed. A goodly part of our sophomore year was devoted to instructing the freshmen to follow m our straight and narrow path. Aside from thi , we entered into every chool activity. \Ve introduced the plan of having weekly new papers, "The Tatler" and "The Commoner". The German lub, for the fir t time, pre ented two plays in German. Girls' basketball teams were organized, and the intercla s game resulted in a victory for us. We also won the first prize at a Latin Club stunt show with our presentation of "An Hour in Room 320". Quite a little excitement was caused by the pre entatio of the first May day pageant, "The Triumph of Spring". This proved such a ucce.'s that the pageant has been made an annual event. \Ve entered chool our junior year quite willingly, b cau.e we were upperclas men and had a great many more privileges. Early in the fall, we organized our cla , elected class officers and cho e our cla s pins. The next month we presented two plays, "The Revolt" and "The un. et". The most popular precedent we e tabli hed thi year was the "Boys' Stunt how", and it has become as important a the enior play. \Ve again took part in the Opera and !fay-day Pageant. To how our appreciatiOn for the kindne. s hown us by the cla s of '17, when we were freshmen, we closed our junior year with a junior-senior reception. In April, 1917, a few months before school closed, the United States entered into the world-wide war; o, in our enior year, we started into school with more .eriou 路 ideas than any previous cia of Champaign High chool. Great events, such as our football championship, were crowded into the background by the thou&"ht of what we could do to help win the war. Immediately after school tarted, we organized the re t of the C. H. S. girls into working units. The e girl made a ervice flag, packed and mailed Christmas boxes to our boys, and worked in our new surgical dre ing room. The boys, not wishing to be outdone by the girl , volunteered to put the Y. l\1. C. A. drive "over the top". A. a final triumph of our four year of ucce , we hall tage the enior play on June 6. On the following night we hall receive our diplomas. Thi 路 will mark the close of our high chool days, and to the clas of 1919 we shall reluctantly entrust senior re pon ibilities in the Champaign High chool. By ELIZABETH HUFF, '18.

ARS was on one of his visit!; to earth. As he . kimmed swiftly over the land and ea, he noted with grim sath;faction the results of his handiwork-preparations for fighting in America: aeroplanes flitting here and there like great birds of prey, transport conveying boys in khaki acros ¡ the great Atlantic to carry on his work. Upon his reaching the other continent, Mars noted war-ridden Europe in battle array. He topped for a moment over a bloody battlefield, he looked without a twinge of conscience at poor devastated little Belgium, and, checking hi flight, gazed down upon Germany. He drew a deep breath of delight," ext to Olympus," he murmured, "I'd like to live in Germany." Dropping down into Berlin-un een in hi godlike form-Mars hurried through the streets and into the palace of that other war lord, Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. He found him alone, poring over a map of the world, with a glitter of eagerness and zeal in hi eye. Making himself vi ible, Mar spoke: "Bill, you're a man after my own heart. Between us, if we only had the men and equipment, we could keep things going. Why, I haven't been so popular in years. I thought I was important during the day of the Hun, but those engagements were mere skirmi hes compared to this carnage. Honestly, Bill, how long do you b lieve we can keep it up?" The Kaiser frowned, "Well," he said, "I don't know. I hope to keep it up for years until I rule the univer e, but:---"I have it," interrupted Mars, "Let us go up to the Cave of the Fates near Olympu . I know the Fate well and think I can pursuade them to give us a brief glimpse of this old world-say ten year from now-then we can see for ourselve how long our glory is to Ia t." Inve ting Wilhelm with the power of flight, Mars conducted him to the gloomy cave. He made known hi errand and gained admittance. To Atropos, eldest of the Fates, 1ars spoke: "Oh, Mother, who through God-given power, foretells all things, we come to you on a mo t important mission. I am Mars-as you know, I bring with me the friend of my heart, Wilhelm of Germany. Present to u , we beg, a glimpse of the world as it will be in 182 . Show us enough to convey a good impre. sion of all phases of humanity at that time." Atropo lead them into an inner room-bare of furniture save for two chairs at one end. Bidding them be seated, he drew aside a small curtain and in the wall just on a level with the eyes of each man were two small holes. For a moment, Atropo gazed at the two grim, unyielding figures and a gleam of hatred flashed across her face. Then resuming her impas ive countenance he began: "Concentrate your gaze on the aperture, wait and you will ee what you desire. In a beautiful little city amid the rolling prairies of Illinois a clas of one hundred and twenty young people are ju t leaving their high school. The peaceful occupations of

You see in the distance vague buildings, mountains, clouds, and riven;. • ow your vi. ion is clearer. You see the unday School department of a large church in central U. S. A.

Stella Dodge, the trea urer, i tipto ing about coli cting the pennies. The ;uperintendent, Harold Davis, teps into the room to see that all is well and then quietly leaves again. One naughty little boy ha · brought to S. S., concealed under his coat, the funny paper and i. giggling over th antic of the Katzenjammer;;, now drawn exclusively by the world-famed Howard Babb. At fir ·t tinkle of the bell, he ha:tily conceal · the paper and the children file out. In the next room, the church service is beginnin&". At a magnificent organ, sits Esther B II, playing the beautiful prelude, "Peace on Earth", composed by the famed Helen Wright. The choir files in, a quartet of the best voices in the city: Willa Blai dell, Marie Doyle, Lyndon Adams, and Clair Swearingen. The Rev. H. W. 'nofftz approaches the pulpit and commence a powerful ermon on Democracy. In the audience gazing up with rapt countenance and drinking in his every word, is his old clas -mate, :\leta Jolly. "'ear her sits the Trib1o1f reporter, John Clark, recording the addre. in ;;horthand. In the front row, nodding a little as the . ermon progre;;. e , sits the pillar of the church, Deacon Paul Ogden. ear the back, Mitchell Watkins and his wife Lucile Cherry Watkins, also, seems to be enjoying the service. The church is a beautiful one, designed by the famous architect, Frank Wendenhall. The stained gla s windows are memorials to the boy who gave their lives in erving their country. They were designed by Florence Lachemeyer. The final .ong is "Peace Forever :\fore", compo. ed by Helen Harris. "Sit still. Do not move. This is only a beginning. Let me show you another picture. On the steps of a charming little suburban home, Dr. R. S. Fisher is bidding his wife Lenore Ever ole Fisher, good-bye ' ow remember, Lenore, he is saying 'I may be a little late tonight a I operate on Myron Ro!>e. I am to remove hi aberamisanthropmialc tic glands. I hope to improve the impediment to his speech. You know we could never make Myron talk even back in high school days.' Jumping into his new Oake car, he speeds away. In turning a corner somewhat hastily, it is only by a swift application of the brake that he avoid striking a blind man, who is endeavoring to cross the street. Fearing that he has hurt him, Dr. Fi her leaps out and approaches the afflicted man. He wears black glasses and a card hang about his neck bearing the inscription, "I am blind and dumb--Help me". A he gazes at the blind man the Doctor starts and then grasping him by the hand, he cries out, 'Can thi , indeed, be you, my old classmate, Stanley Kaufman, fallen into uch straight . If you recognize my voice, nod your head.' To his amazement, the goggles were pushed back and his hand gripped, and Stanley said, 'My but I'm &"lad to ee you. Hist, not a word! Someone approache ! I'm a detective on the big Murphy twin ca e. They married twin brother and there is orne family mixup.' The Doctor speeds away, looking back ju t in time to see Genevieve Silkey and Velma Webb each giving the poor afflicted creature some money. The Doctor reaches his office, bids his busines -like secretary, Grace Fo ter, and his two skillful head nurses, Stella Fergu on and Velma Metz, good morning, and the day's work begins. "In another part of the same building, Augustus Brya is poring over his latest di covery: a mixture composed of awdust with a prinkling of alfalfa, produce· a surprisingly palatable breakfa t food.

She continued: "Your fourth picture concerns the cultivation of the youthful mind.

In the auditorium of the Univer. ity of Illinois, Julia Thompson is playing the role of Adriana, to a crowded house. Professor Ralston Derrough sits near the front, intently watching every movement of his classmate. Near him is the Dean of Women, Lucile Payne. In a downtown district, in a fashionable hat shop, El ie Rayburn and Gladys Rayburn are displaying the latest creations; nearby is the ews building, owned by Hugh Ferguson, the able editor of th city paper.

Among the crowd gather d to watch the great p ctacle are Harold 'looney, Marie Lowry, Dorothy Cassingham, Arelisle " elson, and Dorothy Weaver. Leisurely wandering through the Forum on their way to the games, are Dorothea Kern, Richard Coffeen, Maynard Burwash, and Chri tine Hyland. Under the arch of Septimius Severu , they chance upon the renowned American artist, Frank Amsbary, sketching the famed even-branched candle tick. "Belgium i next," continued Atropo,·. "All is calm and peaceful, industry is thriving, and the people are pro perous and happy. American ent rprise is everywhere in evidence--factorie;, construction companies, hotel·, all have American managen;.

The Fate ceased speaking, the picture faded, slowly the grim watcher: turned to face each other. "My friend," said Mar , "our un ha · set.''

THE MAROON FIRST AND SECOND TEAMS
Before the game tarted, Danville threw a scare into the Champaign rooter by .;rotting out three fully uniformed teams. For the first few minutes after the whistle blew Danville started a steady march for Champaign's goal. The Maroons rallied, and securing po ession of the ball, soon scored a touchdown. From then on it was Champaign's game, although Danville scored a wobbly drop kick from the center of the field. The final score of 64 to 3 completely satisfied the Champaign students who had made the trip by automobile. The next week Coach Coutchie worked the squad unmercifully, because he anticipated the West Aurora game would be the hardest of the eason. In 1914, Champaign and West Aurora met in a post-season game for the State Champion hip. The defeat of 13 to 0 still rankled in the hearts of the Champaign rooters. Captain Hubbard wa the only remaining member of the 1914 squad that had made the trip to Aurora. To atone for the former defeat and to di prove the theory that Northern Illinoi High School football was superior to that of Central Illinois, was the aim of the Champaii'n team as they trotted out on the field. Within the first five minutes of play, Hubbard, aided by good work in the line, scored the first touchdown. This did not dishearten the Aurora players and it looked for awhile as if their quarter back, Franz, would break away and tie the score. Champaign was not to be denied the victory, however, and added two more touchdowns before the game closed. Long forward passes made both of the final cores possible. Capt. Hubbard broke a finger early in the game. In spite of this he played the star game of his career. With the Aurora victory safely tucked away, the entire squad got down to hard work, determined to win the remaining games. Bloomington was to be played next, on their home grid. Hubbard's hand was in such a condition that he was unable to u e it for a couple of weeks. Miller was hifted to full back and Frakes took his position at left half. With this combination, Coach Coutchie invaded Bloomington. This game was featured by long pas es to Doolen and by the open field runs of Myers. Miller, acting a temporary captain, hit the line with a ferocity that required everal ub titution by Bloomington. The game ended, Champaign 35, Bloomington 0. Because of the hard battle with Springfield la t year, the whole squad wa up on

THE MAROO its toe. to admini ter a severe beating to the apital ity boy on their home lot. After a five hour trip on the interurban, the quad arrived in Springfield at 2:30 P .• 1. The boys were hurried into their pads and the game wa:o~ on. Major, with the aid of strong interference, made a 75-yd. run. Hubbard's return to the line-up made up for the empty stomachs. Springfield was smothered 41 to 0. The second team, not to be outdone, defeated the Springfield re~erve: 32 to 0. Thi. was the only opportunity that the plucky :crub had to .·how their real abilitv. The next week, Champaign received as their guests and next victim:;, the Tuscola eleven. This chool claimed the down-state championship last year and a hard game wa. expected. The fame of the full back, Bruno, purred our boys on to how some real football. Tu. cola soon found that she had more than her hands full with the open play of the .Maroons. When the final whistle blew the score registered 77 to 0. Arcola was scheduled for the next game. Somehow Champaign did not get started rightly. She . cored only 20 points in the first half. In the .econd half, apt. Dutch was put back in the line-up and the core was soon run up to 61. With the. e games under cover, th only remaining one on the schedule was with our old friend Urbana. Mor interest than usual was centered on the game a. both quad had gone through the cason without defeat. The main dope, however, gave Champaign the edge because of the tronger teams they had played and through the fact that Urbana's goal line had been crossed in two tie games. With the exception of "Dutch", the squad was in excellent condition. Frakes started at left half with 1:iller at full, but it was soon n cessary to put in Hubbard, even though he was not able to do full justice to him elf, on account of a bad knee. His moral support did much to pep up the team. Before he had been in the game five minutes he threw a beautiful pass to Lang, which put the ball within striking distance. On the next play, lapper and Brownell opened a wide hole in the Urbana line and Dutch went over for the fir ·t touchdown and a pair of shoe . Before the half ended hampaign scored two more touchdowns by the aerial route. The ball was carried over both times by Doolen. Although Coach Coutchie attempted to stir the boys to even harder efforts between halves, the center of the Champaign line seemed to wilt under the charging Urbana team. Before they could be stopped they scored two well-earned touchdowns. ot able to keep up such a sma hing attack, they were unable to core again. ear the end of the game, Major returned a punt 65 yds. through the entire Urbana team for a touchdown. The final score was 28 to 14. Champaign had won the first leg of the Hamilton trophy cup. Immediately after the Thanksgiving game, Champaign challenged the Hyde Park team. West Aurora had proved they were the trongest team in the orthern Conference and Champaign' victory over them earlier in the season gave her a clear chim to the championship of the state outside of ook ounty. Hype Park refu ed to play, however, and Champaign accordingly claimed the Champion hip of Illinoi . The Maroons, under the coaching of Mr. Coutchie, have not b en defeated in two years and have piled up a total of 591 points to their opponents 36.

Fully fifty turned out the first evening, and after a careful elimination, the quad was cut to fifteen the third night and regular practice tarted. The fight for the places on the . quad wa. alway; in evidence, each man trying to outdo th other. The old hampaign High spirit prevailed and the regulars were kept on the move at every turn to best the "scrub " in the practice game:-:. The ·ea on opened earlier than wa · expected by most of the students, the Champaign Athletic club wa. th first victim to the offensive of Coach outchie's battling .:\laroon . Thi .·quad wa · composed of a number of old C. H. . men and our lads had little trouble in playing all-around them. The final .-core was 33 to 14. All member. of the Athletic As ociation were admitted free to this game and a large body of rooters were in attendance. Mahomet was the next cheduled game. A number of men were used in thi battle. Champaign High squad came off the floor victors with a count of 52 to 17. With the team now whipped into shape, Coach Coutchie took the quad to Peoria on December 22, and here the n. 11 t'nso . · e. llt ' IU\ARO Champaign five downed the Peoria Manual squad with a close count of 15 to 9. Only two of the former ba ketball men were on the squad, Carl Hubbard and Capt. Hudson. Hubbard covered himself with glory, as did Hudson and the rest of the squad. "Dutch" earned the title, from the Peoria fan , of "The Tank", due to the great way in which he played the floor. Thi game was the hardest fought of any played by the Peoria aggregation during the eason. Bement stood next on the regular chedule, but a blizzard prevented the arrival of the squad. However, a number of true basketball fan and loyal rooters were pre ent for the contest and an exhibition game was played between the first and second squad_. The official opening of the sea on on the home floor came the week following, with the trong Springfield aggregation. The Springfield giants took the lead from the tart of the game, and, with the plays centered around one man, managed to give the Maroon. their first defeat by a core of 27 to 22. The vi itors had a great advantage over our boys in that thi was their eventh game. Decatur was met the next week end, at Decatur, and the Maroon eemed lost with this squad. Mr. A. R. \Vii on had charge of the squad as Coach Coutchie wa ill. Capt. Hudson's squad failed to show the old pep which had been in evidence previou ly. Decatur had little trouble in handing Champaign a good drubbing to the tune of 30 to 16. The quad braced during the next week and with the two defeat in mind went into the next game determined to' win. Centralia, with her men outweighing our and much taller, went down in one of the fa te:t games ever played on the local floor, to the score of 33 to 30. Champaign can well be proud of the victory, for Centralia later won the state champion hip. A large number of the tudent body attended this game and the enthusia m wa at a great pitch when Capt.

THE MAROON whist! ounded with Champaign High in the lead. The l:iquad journyeed to pringfield for a return game with that team. Here the hampaign high boys had the game their own way most of the first period, and had Hubbard not broken a fing r, the game would have gone to the credit of the Maroons. But with thi accident and the rally of the opponent in the last five minute , the faroons went down to the third defeat, standing at the . mall end of the count of 26 to 19. On February 15, Peoria fanual played a return on the local floor. The game wa. , cheduled for the afternoon and .chool was dismis!:ied early to enable the students to attend the contest. A large number of th rooters were present and the game started off with a real battle. Ten minute of the firtit period had been passed before any of the ·coring b gan. fercer broke into the point column by dropping two ringer in rapid succe ion and Hudson's close guarding kept the visitors from coming close to our goal. The Peoria boys' only hope was in the long shots and they began to drop the e in the second twenty minutes of play. The Champaign lads came off the floor victors. The final ·tanding 2 to 10. Decatur came next for the local boys and the game was at a toss during the entire contest. Champaign lead at half time by a small margin and the gam sawed back and forth, both of the squads playing about even. Dean Doolen dropped a basket from the middle of the floor, this gave Champaign the lead and the final whi tle sounded. Because of a dispute over the time, Referee Glick continued the battle for sixteen seconds and in that time a foul wa · called on Dcatur, which Hubbard promptly threw, giving the ~1aroon a three point lead of 28 to 25 The game was one of the harde t fought of the whole season. The fans were especially happy over thi. defeat of Decatur, for this was the first time in three years that the Maroons had been able to down the fast Decatur aggregation in basketball. With the ·quad in excellent condition and the di trict tournament a week off, th rooters and backers of the team were anxious for the matches to come off. The locals were picked to take the tournament, although it was known that Danville, Garrett and Gibson City would put up a strong fight. As you know, the Champaign High boys took the honors with little trouble, although the Garrett five put up a hard battle before they were eliminated. On the first day of the matche , Champaign defeated Newman in the second game of the evening session by a , core of 37 to 14. In th i1rst ses. ion on the final day, the Maroons stopped Villa Grove squad by a total of 34 to 22. Garrett made the hard fight in the afternoon games, but the local boys kept up good team work and Garrett wa eliminated with a 27 to 19 score. In the finals, Champaign met the Gib on City quad. A hard fight was expected, but the game was slow and very unintere ting, the Drummer Town hip five made 14 point to the faroons 30. Coach Coutchie's men finished the season in proper style on the home floor by handing the Kankake squad a 34 to 17 whaling in one of th slowe t games ever contested in the local gym. Hubbard'. work in the battle wa. excellent. "Dutch" made over half of the point scored by hampaign. Champaign drew a hard team in the competition for the state honors. University High of Normal was the school which was selected for the Maroon to battle first . . The ormal five proved too much for the Champaign quad, and after an up-hill fight, the Maroons were nosed out of the tournament in their first game by a score of 28 to 18. Centralia won the tate championship, and • ormal, the school which had liminated the Champaign boy , took second place honors. As a whole, the season was very successful. The Rquad played fourteen games and won ten. Of the ten "C" men, Hubbard, Hudson, and D. Doolen will graduate, leaving Mercer (captain-elect), Major, Frakes, Dunn, Brownell, Burnett, and J. Doolen for the squad for next season.

THE MAROON There i: littl doubt of who wa. the best man on the ba:ketball . quad, in any of the rooter'' minds. Hubbard would be the answer with little he itation, and "Dutch" de erve the honor of being one of the best ba. ketball men in the state. Hubbard could play in any position, but preferably at a running forward or guard. arl's eye for the ba ket could always b depended upon and to Hubbard goe. the honor of ,coring a large number of the season's total pointg. Ray Hud on, captain of the . quad for the Rea:on of 1!117-1 , played an excellent game at standing guard. "Huddie" did not get a chance to . how hi: ability at the basket, as he was kept busy in keeping opponents away from his own goal. Hudson played two yearR of ba ketball. Dean Doolen, another star, was the find of the sea. on. Doolen wa. from entralia and played a guard position. Hi fighting qualities and ability to , hoot when points were scarce, earned him the place on the squad. Fred Mercer, is without doubt, the best center produced in this chool since Arthur Gantz. .Iercer was alway · in the game and when controlling the ball was needed, he could be counted upon. \Ve are lucky to have lercer with u. next sea!:ion. Dean Brownell started the ..:eason at the po ition of center, but hard luck and sickne s kept Dean from doing hi · best all season. Brownell will be back next year and give all comer· a fight for the center po ition. Fredrick 1\1ajor played his fir t year of basketball this sea ·on. He . howed that he can play the game in good style. "Freddie ' " fight often proved too much for an opponent and the grin which never wore off helped the Maroon. to a number of victories. John Frakes was a new man on the squad. He will, without doubt, get a regular place on the squad next sea on . .John has the "old pep" and the "never . ay die spirit" which the rooters like to see. J e . e Doolen wa aLo a new man in the high , chool. "Young Dool n . tarted the year in good style, but sickness forced him to drop out of the game. Arthur Dunn came to our . chool from Homer. "Art" did not secure a regular birth on the first squad, but there is little doubt that he will fill Hudson's . hoe. next ea on. Robert Burnett, another candidate for the center po ition, will al o put up a hard fight for the regular place in 1918-19. Robert has played one year of ba ketball and the rooters exp ct great thing from him. Champaign's pro pects for the coming eason of 191 -19 are excellent, and with new material d veloped in the physical training cia team. , Coach Coutchie will doubtless develop another wining squad.

account of the boys' demand for the u e of the gymnasium immediately after the Thank ·giving vacation, the girls gave up the u ual plan of a long schedule of intercla s game and adopted a short schedule of three games. After several weeks of practice, the tryout. were held and the teams picked. The games were played on three successive afternoons. On the third evening, the . ophomores, the winner of the first two games, played the eniors, the champion for two years. Both teams entered the game determined to win. Although they did not have three thou and spectators on the side lines to pull for them, although the championship did not mean o much a football champion hip, neverthele , they fought just as hard for what little honor there was, and the few rooters were becomingly enthusia tic. The enior cored first and throughout the game they held the lead. At the end of the fourth quarter, the .core was 15-10 in their favor. The senior team hold the C. H.

TRACK, 1918
A
the request of the Illinois State High School Athletic Association, track work was dropped for the Spring of 1918. The boys were asked to devote all of their spare time after school and on Saturdays to garden and farm work. All of the high schools of the state have followed this plan and the annual interscholastic meets of the different universities and colleges have been given up until after the war. As a result of this, Champaign High School has been unable to show her worth on the track this spring, with the exception of the one mile High School Relay, held in conjunction with the annual University Relay Carnival at the University of Illinois on March 2. Thi was the same night as the final of the District Basketball Tournament, consequently this was a busy evening for Champaign High School athletes. Practice for the relay was held in the Universit~ Armory between five and sixthirty every evening for about a month before the race. About ten candidate reported for the fir t practice, but they oon dwindled to six, who stuck to the finish. Watchorn

was the only veteran quarter-miler on the . quad, which ranged from Capt. John on, a high jumper, to Ferguson, a miler. The boys worked hard under Coach Coutchie and within a few weeks were all running a quarter well under a minute. At the end of three weeks, the team wa cho. en, consi.·ting of Bennett, John:on, Ferguson, and Watchorn. LaGrange, University High of Chicago, Urbana, and Champaign were the entrie:. Univer ity High was the favorite b cau:e of ambell, their sta1·, a boy who a week later won the junior quarter mile champion. hip at Boston and took :econd in the open championship again.·t the best runner· of the country. Bennett, running first for Champaign, took the lead and brought in a five-yard gain on the firl't lap. John. on, running econd, kept the lead and the University High wa worried. Urbana was about fifteen yard. in the rear. Ferguson, running third, was boxed on the fir ·t turn and to avoid spiking the U. High runner, dropped back, and with thi advantage the U. High man gained about five yards. Watchorn took up the race against Cambell but wa unable to catch him and had to b contented with econd place. Urbana fini-<hed a poor third, about thirty yards in the rear, The time for Champaign was 3:46, which . ets an indoor record for this high f:chool. Bronze medaL were awarded the Champaign runner· for . cond place and considering the class of the competition, all were satisfied with the showing that had been made.

THE STUNT SHOW A. Y home-talent benefit entertainments prove to be very tiresome, but the econd annual Boys' Stunt Show was one of the most amu ing performances ever staged in the high school. The entertainment was given , ovember 22, as a benefit for our boys in the service. The show was divided into seven acts, ranging all the way from vaudeville to grand opera. Ingenuity, talent, and clever imitations were the marked features of every act. The entertainment opened with a Kinder Symphony orche ·tra, whose excellence, e:pecially in harmony, vied with that of the Chicago symphony. This excellence was brought about, no doubt, through the leadership of the capable conductor, Samuel Grossman, who, by his frantic ge ticulations, kept the musicians in perfect time and the audience in a perfect uproar. As special features, "Orphant Annie", (Herbert Larry), two folks dancers, (Sheldon ·weaver and Wayne Waite), and the "Shoemaker" (Harold Grossman), added to the entertainment. A grand finale of the whole orche tra closed the act. The econd act was a olo butterfly dance, "Papillon." The beautiful gauzy costume and the vari-colored spotlights, gave the picture a fairy-like appearance. The grace and lightne.s of the dainty dancer (John Flanigan), suggested a butterfly flitting about instead of an athlete. The dance terminated in a profound bow. ext came the "Modern and Medieval Ballad of Mary Jane", a play in pantomime. ::\1ary Jane (l\Iarc ,.'orton), the village school mistres; the talwart Benjamin (Lawrence Weingarten); the stern Father (Rollin Lawrence), and Lord .1ortimer (John Griffith), made up the cast. After numerous difficulties the stern Father gave his consent to Mary Jane's marriage with talwart Benjamin. They "lived happily ever after". " 1other Goose Min trels" was the next act. The participant represented the characters in the " 1other Goose Rhymes", both in speech and in dre . In the quaint conversation of these tory-book creature , some of the latest gossip about the school was aired. The teacher as wei! as the pupils were satirized and some of the jokes were exceedingly pertinent. During the intermission, between the fourth and fifth act , the audience was entertained by the Boy·' Glee Club. The chorus was well balanced, and the voices ·howed careful training. In the fifth act, three "world-famous arti t " were pre ented. First "Shuman Heink (Edgar Settles), sang one of her well-known songs. "Her" appearance and manner were such clever imitation of the famous inger that it wa only when ".he" made her farewell bow, that the audience realized that the voice came from behind the !;Cenes. "Fritz Kreisler" (Hugh Ferguson), then made hi, appearance. In "Majesty and 1ein" the impersonation befitted the eminent violinist, and the beauty of technique wa remarkable, although again the mu ic was produced back of the curtain by the bow of Theodore Frison. The act was closed by "Anna Pavlowa", alia Morris Hughe , in an interpretive dance. 'o doubt Pavlowa her·elf would be greatly plea~ d with her skilful under tudy. After such a classical act, the audience found relief in "The 'Veddin'." After a great deal of humorous preparation, Tobelia Hawkins (Howard Buckler), and Ebenezer (John Flanigan), were married.

Pend rga. t (John lcDonald), at the organ, and Ezra (Lionel Michael), with his :fiddle, started the music and the old-fa hioned dance began. The grace of the preceding dance. was not a feature of this act, you may be ure. Perhap the be t act of the whole how wa. the last one, a patriotic drill. The national trio, three boy· dres ·ed in red, white, and blue, respectively. "Liberty", the color bearer, and " ncle am", were the principal characters. The drill wa done exceptionally well. The pirit of the boy takin g part, and the approval of the audienc quickly howed that patrioti m ran high. The .how was certainly a great succe s, not only from the point of view of intere t, but a! ·o from that of receipts. This uccess was largely due to the skillful direction of lr.

THE CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT HE annual Chri tma program, under the driection of Mr. \Villcox, wa held on the morning of December 21, 1917, in the auditorium. The program con.-isted for the mo t part of music and reading , and was of a nature befitting the sea on. The entertainment wa · opened by the inging of the "Star Spangled Banner" by the whole chool. Th1 was followed by a mu. ical number of the Girls' Glee lub, "Con·tant Christma ". Thi beautiful song was well rendered by these talented girls. Then a drill, "Chri tmas", was pre ented by nine freshmen. At the end of the drill, the word "Chri tma ·" was spelled, each boy holding a letter. Katherine Templin, in a dramatic reading, "The Three King ", wa exceedingly well received. Then followed a pantomime, "The Listening Ear of • ight", cleverly interpreted by Chri tine Hyland. T\vO rather humorous recitation , "The Night Before Chri tma ", and "The • ight After hri tma ", by amuel Gro~ ·man and Joseph Atkin. on, re pectively, told the story of the u. ual Chri tma -and its accompanying disagreeable features. The daintiest, and perhaps, the prettie t part of the program wa a drill, "The Dancing hristmas Trees", by twelve of the smaller girls in co tume. Their costumes were unique, and the dancers were remarkably graceful. A hri tma program is never complete without the good old-fashioned carols, so a group of the children from the Lincoln chool, sang the "Cradle Hymn", and "It am Upon the .iidnight lear". Their childi. h voices pealed forth the caroL with a fre. hne ·s and gayety not equalled by their elders. A reading, "The Theater Party", from " lr . Wigg of the abbage Patch", by Harriet Beach, was extremely humorous. When the time came to make preparations to go to the "th ayter", the curtain wa drawn and the story wa cleverly pantomimed by .Julia Thompson, a " irs. \Viggs", Dorothy McConnell, as "Asia", Tina Ander on, as "Australia", Lucile Mendenhall, as "Europena", and Seeley John on, as "Billy" After this exciting "theayter" party, a tableau, "\Vaiting for hrit mas", was presented by Marion Sm1th and the Girl ' chorus. The program wa concluded by a reading, "A Little Town of Bethlehem", by Winifred Capron, accompanied by a quartette. Each number of the program wa. very enjoyable, and the participant ;;howed lrreat ability.

PAGEANT OF THE AGES OR the pa t three years it ha::; been the custom of the gymna ium clas es to give a pageant. The presentation this year wa by far the mo t ·tupendou spetcacle ever taged by the high school pupils -stupendou · not only in regard to costumes, but especially to the theme of the whole production. The presentation con i ted of four part · -the Prehi toric Age, the Age of the Ancient , the Medieval Age, and the !J:odern Age. The first part wa u.·hered in by a prologue and the other part · :eparated by interludes. The pageant opened with the creation of the elements. All was chaos-utter darkne s. Then suddenly a peal of thunder wa heard, followed by a flash of lightning. Li~ht was een dancing and gradually the tage became lighter and lighter, until all signs of chaos had di appeared. Next came the Earth, displaying the product of Mother Nature. The Sea followed. A group of maidens clad in sea-green co tumes, represented the dancing waves and the sea nymphs. Then in order that the world might not be in utter darkness, at night, the twinkling Stars and the wandering Moon appeared. Creation wa completed with the wild llO:UHII \ HOillll S dance of the Wind. The Prehi toric Age opened with a dance of the Cave Men. It was hard to believe that these savage, hide-wearing creatures, pre enting their barbaric dance could be harmles high school boy·.

The Interlude repre ented the advance of early civilization. Egypt led, carrying a croll; Babylonia, an astrologer, followed. The M:edes and Persians were represented by fire-worshipping priests, and Greece by a goddess, carrying an olive branch. The Roman, carrying the cale of justice, closed the proces ion. Part two, the Age of the Ancients, was divided into two periods: the early Oriental and the Classical. The early Oriental Period began with a dance of the ile maidens, characterized by their gliding, snake-like movements and their glittering jewelry. The Ceremonial dance of the Fire-worshippers came next. Thi was interesting because of the weird my terie of the Fire and the odd incantations of the worshipper . The period clo ed with a dance of rejoicing by the Hebrew women, wearing flowing gowns and carrying tambourine,. The las.ic Period opened with the dawn of Greek Art, represented by three girls, playing on pipes. A tableau of a Greek play was cleverly presented as a background for a Greek choru,. A Roman banquet cene followed. The banqueters reclining at a long table, after the usual custom of the Romans, were entertained by the fencing of Roman oldiers, and a dance by Roman maiden , who showered bouquets upon them. 1 rext came the Interlude, representing the advance of the new civilization. This proce ional was led by the barbarian of the north, followed by the monks, the crusader, the peasants-Italian, Spanish, French, English, Rus ian and Scottish,-and a knight and lady of England. The Medieval Age opened with a dance of the barbarian , who sweft all other people before them. Thi. wa followed by a scene in a mona tery,-the proce.sion of black-robed monks chanting their ve per service. The olemnity of this ceremony was then relieved by the dance of the peasants in their bright colored native co tume.. These dances were clever reproductions of the characteristic folk dance of the various countries. The Interlude was a proce sional of the ¡ew World-tlie American Indian, the early settler , representative of the Colonial Period, the Period of '61, and the Present Day.
The Ia ¡t act, the Modern Age, opened with an Indian dance. The vim with which the squaw "pow-wowed" around the camp fire, and the daring with which they . hot their arrows, made them ~eem quite realistic. The Indians were followed by the early Hubbard,

This closed with a group dance of all the early settler . The Colonial Period wa · portrayed by a stately minuet, danced by six couple . The Colonial dame. , with their patches and ribbons, and the gentlemen with their silver buckles and wig , were happy reminders of the day of old. The Period of '61 was repre ented by a group of g irl: dancing the gavotte. The hoop- kirts, pantellets, and poke bonnets were charming, to say the lea t. The Present Day wa a representation of the entrance of the United tates into the war. At the beginning, America, England, France, Italy and Belgium were di covered on the ·tage. The peasant child, Belgium, while playing with a doll, saw an apparition coming toward her, and as it swept over her, he was overcome and f ell crippled. France ran to her aid, and helped her on her feet; then together they advanced against the enemy. France appealed to England, who, after some hesitation, ru hed to the aid of her friends. The three advanced against the foe and were joined by Italy. The four nations, however, were gradually forced back, and Belgium ran to America, kneeled at her feet, and pleaded with her. Amid great rejoicing, America took her place. The pageant closed ' ith the triumphal advance of the Allies, and the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner". The pageant wa in every respect a high school production. The plan wa conceived by Mi · Breit tadt, and the detail worked out by Mi s Breit tadt, :\ILs Turell, and Mr. Willcox.

THE OPERA URTAIN! To find yourself transferred from your vantage point in the auditorium to a village fete-day in sunny France, chic little French maidens selling bouquets, youth, rollicking and joyou ·-in fact, laughter, gaiety, and frivolity everywhere-this is the effect of the op ning scene of the "Drum Major". The opera, from beginning to end, was military. The time of the opera is during the French Revolution. If one had but listened, one could have heard the tramp of soldier's feet, the blare of bugles and the rat-a-tat-tat of the drum at almo t any time of the performance. The cast was well chosen, and howed excellent ability and individuality. John Flanigan, as Jean, and later as the Drum Major, carried off his part exceedingly well, both in singing and in acting. Willa Blai dell portrayed the broken-hearted weetheart, Babette, with the grace and ease of a profe sional; her rich contralto voice . howed talent out of the ordinary. Hugh Fergu on, a Leroux, was mo t pleasing, and his noble appearance lent an air of gallantry to the whole performance. l rellie Hart, as Clarice, was charming. Her pretty oprano voice, her coquetry, and her vivaciou~me s, made her one of the favorites of the evening. The other principals showed ability. They were: Pierre, Morris Hughe ; Victor, Herbert Larry; Antoinette, Margie Dickey; Jacqueline, Eula Spelman; Susanne, Lucile Meibach, Marcel, Harold Michael; and a solo dance by Adelaide White. The opera could not have been a uccess without the able accompani t, John .McDonnell, and the chorus. The member of the chorus were: Geraldine Lemmon, Ruth Higgins, Margaret IcDermott, Flo Leatherman, Glady Rayburn, Iona Mae Bell, Esther Dunlap, Margaret Dos , Cathryn Corbett, Zaida Blaisdell, Ferol Boyer, delaide White, Helen Picknell, El ie Metz, Irene Battaile, Esther Geip, Esther Bell, Roy Larry, Harold Davis, Griffith Parker, Carrol Schmalhausen, Harold Grossman, Dennis Brya, \Villiam Elwell, Walter Brown, Maxwell Adams, James Barrack , Jame Clancy, John Hayes, Wilbur Mooney, and Ralph Tiley. As a whole, the opera wa a succe s, and was well received by an enthu ia tic audience. This can be accounted for, in part, by the nature of the opera it elf-anything patriotic and military i well-received these days-and also to the able ca t and director . Much credit is due to Mi Deneweth, the mu ical director; to Mr. Willcox, who coached the dramatic part; to :\li · · Breit tadt, in charge of the dance , and to John 1cDonnell, the accompanist.

Julia Thompson, as Aunt Mary, admirably portrays the eccentric old spinster. "Jack" is a fitting role for iorri · Hughes to make his adieu to C. H. S. in high ·chool dramatic~. Zenda Bramble, as Betty, shows unusual ability in portraying the social butterfly. Harriet Beach, as "Lucinda'·, th eccentric country servant, and Stanley Kaufman, as "Joshua", the easy-going old hired man, leave nothing to be desired in depicting the homely humor of the play. Lyndon Adams, as "Mitchell"; Frank a ugh ton, as "Burnett', and \Villiam Prichard, as "Clover", di. play individuality in bringing out the finer bit of humor. Richard Fisher, as " ir. Stubbin ", fall naturally into the part of the dignified lawyer. Lenore Ever.:ole, "The Girl From Kalamazoo", present admirably, the change from the aggres ive young lady, who brings a breach of promise suit, to the oftened girl, who leaves a bunch of viol t for Aunt iary, who "under tand everything". Grace Bell, as "Daisy Mullins", perform: the part of a country woman exceedingly well.

DEBATE TEAM, 1918
DEBATE OTHING is more annoying than to have a carefully worked out plan, upon which one ha spent hours of preparation, fall flat at the la. t moment. Such wa the experience of those who were chosen this year to repre!'ent the hi~h school in interscholastic contests of a literary nature. Early in September, the cla began its ·work for the year with the tudy of the principle of debate, under the direction of tr. Clippinger. The candidates for the team analyzed the cho en que. tion carefully, the teams were picked and intensive tudy followed. Just at the time when the squads were expecting to r ceive from Knox College, the final in truction for the preliminarie , they were informed that the Knox Interschola tic Date League had gone to pieces. If thi. blow had fallen last year, the disappointment, without a doubt, could have been adequately expres ed; but there were ladies on the quad thi.- year. Every effort was made to s cure a debate with ,ome other school. Thi proved unsucces ful for two reasons: Fir ·t, no other team would accepted the challenge to argue so difficult a question on uch short notice; secondly, one school candidly admitted that the reputation which Champaign had acquired in previous conte t had a dampening effect on the ardor of the teams, who, otherwise, might have accepted the challenge. By an unanimou · vote, the squad decided to . tage a debate between the affirmative and negative teams, rather than not have anythin~ to , how for the work already done. A little later the same j in.· .·truck the high . chool again. Thi.· time at the remainder of the aspirant: for literary honors.

year. With a "never say die" expre ion on their et faces, this little band decided to ca t in their lot with the other martyr , in presenting a free program to the community. The date set for the program was April 5. "The fir t number on the program," ladies and gentlemen, "is an oration by Julia Thompson, entitled, 'Woodrow Wil on'." Julia gave u a mighty fine oration. If the Pre ident had been pre ent, he certainly would have blushed with pride. The next number was rather weary orne to the audience. One hour and forty-five minutes, didn't you ay, Mr. RaJ ton? The question wa , "Re olved, That the United States should own and operate the railroads." The affirmative team: Lenore Eversole, Harold Prentice, and Richard Fisher. The negative team: Maxwell Adams, Harriet Beach, and Fred Knight. The judges were: Profes or Phelps, Profes or Baldwin, and Professor Cole, all of the Univer ity of Illinoi . I shall not attempt to discu s the relative merits of the teams; not o much that I might show prejudice, but because I can never bring myself to admit Fred Knight is right so long a I can put forth a single argument. The third part of the program con isted of an extemporaneous conte t: Helen Picknell won fir t honor by her peech, "Germany's Free Route to India". Griffith Parker's discussion of, "Peril in Peace Time", captured econd place. William Prichard drew for his topic, "Japane e Intervention in Ru ia", and won third place.

A
iO G the achievements of C. H. S. in 1917-18 is a high school orchestra. Professor Fo ter, in order to work out certain ideas of what an orchestra should be, very kindly offered to conduct such a body composed of high chool students. His in truction is without compen ation and it is through his untiring effort that we are now abl to point with pride to a body of musician from which the !<chool has reaped much benefit. The object of the orchestra, as Profe or Foster said, was to instill a keener desire for music, not only in the hearts of its members, but al o into the listener·. The organization ha made very rapid progre s under such able supervision and we appreciate mo ·t highly, the de ire to advance the musical talent of the high school. Thi group of mu ician made its initial appearance at the Teacher's Institute, held in the fall.

AU DITORIUM T has been the cu tomer each year to add to our chool equipment. During the pa t year, the most noticeable improvements have been in the auditorium. The old lighting system for the stage proved inadequate, o new border and footlight have been installed. Instead of having an interior set of cenery painted, a drop curtain was purchased. This curtain was made by the girl in the Household Science Department, under the upervision of Miss Vos . It wa first u ed as a background for the pageant. It was decidedly effective. Ir. Wil on i now putting the fini hing touches on a long-needed pulpit stand. Last, but not lea t, we have a seat plat for the auditorium and a ticket rack. The former was made by Mr. Clippinger; the latter by Mr. Coutchie, from a plan furnished by IJ:r. Clippinger. ow it is po sible to reserve eats and our patrons will not be compelled to appear an hour earlier, in order to procure a good seat.

THE
MAR
ON
THE ANTIQUE VASE
'
one of the hundred of trcet in a certain large city is a curio hop. It i in a tumble-down building, the front of which is a mass of small-paned windows, dingy and dirty with age. When the door of the shop is opened, a silvery bell rmg · and from out of the shadowy r ces e;;, among the gho ·tly images and mummies of long ago, emerges Jonathan Whitley, the owner. He is tall, very thin, and slightly stooped. His eyes are deep- et and close together; hi nose sharp and long; his lips thin and pale. But the most noticeable things about Jonathan are his slightly foreign air, hi hand , and the tightly fitting, rusty-black , uit. Eighteen year· before the beginning of my story, on a dreary night in Dec mber, a stranger visited Jonathan. ot long afterwards, the inmate of the adjoining shops learned that .Jonathan's small niece, "Cherry Blo som", had come to live with him. And now at twenty, Cherry Blo om had grown to be as much a part of the old shop a Jonathan, though in a very different way. Every leering, hideou, tatue was her friend; each ancient ;;abre, che t, or va e had it. particular story to her. She spent every spare moment trying to read the stories woven into the designs on rugs and vases, or ferret out the meaning of the hieroglyphics on some old chest. !J:any time , indeed, were her efforts rewarded. She often took the article, whose hidden secret she had read, to some prominent antique hop. As time pas ed and sh became more skilled in her work, men, famou. for th ir exten ive collections, brought antique ware to her in order that she might interpret their inscriptions. One rainy, dismal morning in early pring, the door of the shop opened and a very gloomy gentleman entered. He had brought a va e to Jonathan, hoping that Cherry Blo om might be able to read the tory on the va. e. The customer explained that he had bought it from an old Chinaman, who said that the vase held a story of centuries. Mr. Sherwood, the owner of the vas , had been thus far unsucces ful in learning the story. Cherry Blossom, in tantly intere ted, gladly accepted the task and a ked to ee the va e. It was, perhaps, four feet high, proportionately large at the top and narrowing toward the bottom. It wa · an exquisite specimen of cloi onne. The coloring was a delicate shell pink, fading into pearl gray and then blending into delicate indistinct tracerie of emerald green, egg-shell blue, amethy t, and saffron. At one place there wa a streak of crimson o cunningly woven into the color cheme that it erved to enhance its beauty. ear the top of the vas were ome figures. The stranger explained that these figures repre ented the name of the hinaman' family. There was no other writing or pictures; no other clue of a "story of centuries". For many day · Cherry Bios om worked, confiding in no one. At Ia t she summoned .Jonathan a nd Mr. Sherwood to hear the story of the va e: "The night you brought the vase, !J:r. Sherwood," she began, "I wa almo t di couraged at ever discovering uch a well-hidden cret. I was watching the light playing on it, when I uddenly noticed that each little strip of color, each spot, each shadow of that intricate mas of coloring formed faint heiroglyphics. It was not ea y to reach, however, for I had no definite place to start. I remembered what you had said about the figures at the top of the va e. I decided that that mu t be the starting place; so it

THE MAROO later proved to be. row I have succeeded in only a part of that long story-that part written by the last three generation·. Thi is the , tory a I have interpreted it. "Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, it wa ordained by the highest of hine. e god , that the family of the 'Vase 1aker ' should con truct a va e on which would be recorded their life tory. The 'Va e Maker' was to tart the record. And thu it wa · carried down through th ages to the grandfather of the man who finally fini. hed the va e. "The grandfather was called Sing Lu the Sorrowful. He won this name because he was forced to bear the taunt and j er of aban. Sing Lu had two ons and one daughter. The daughter had many, many uitors. Among her would-be lover. wa. a young Engli h nobleman. He wa hand orne and kind, and won the heart of Ula an. But it was again t the trict Chinese law to allow a Chinese la to marry a Christian. "But there came a day when the young Englishman ran away with the daughter of Sing Lu the Sorrowful, as hi bride. The old Chinaman's eldest son had endeavored to prevent the elopement, but the young Engli hman had killed him and gotten safely away. For many year , no word of the little bride or her husband reached the old Chinaman. "At Ia t, three core and ten year had been lived by ing Lu the Sorrowful, and Sing Lu the Silent, hi son, took up the work on the va e. He tarted out to find his ister and to kill the man who had murdered hi brother. In England, he found that both Ula San and her hu band were dead and that they had left two little bo).s with their father' parents. Sing Lu the Silent pleaded, threatened, and cursed to no avail. He finally returned to his home to die, leaving the work of the va e and the bitter story of hi wrong, with his ~on. "The last of the family of the 'Vase Makers' took up the que t of the descender.ts of the Engli hman with more zeal than either hi father or grandfather. Full of hate and revenge, Sing Lu th Avenger, went to England only in time to be told that the ·on of Ula San had ent his little daughter to America to b safe from her grandmother's blood-thirsty descendent . Sing Lu the Avenger, maddened by hi failure to get the child, killed the father and returned to his home in Northern China. He had had his revenge in killing th on of the Engli hman. The red treak in the va e ignifie the death of Ula San' on. The granddaughter-" Cherry Blo som did not fini h, for Jonathan' small eyes gleaming with a trange light, began to peak in a trembling voice: "I am the eldest on of Uul San. Y ar ago I forfeited my title and sailed for far lands. It wa in Egypt that I first took a fancy to collecting antique ware . I became o intere ted in them that I travelled around the world and finally, when mo t of my money was gone, I wa forced to open thi curio shop. On night, eighteen years ago, an old ervant from England, brought Cherry Blo om to me. There wa a letter from my brother saying that the on of our mother' brother wa ending her to me until it was afe for her to return to England. I never heard from my brother again, except to receive his will, leaving his all to Cherry Blo som. By the e trange coincidence , which you know, Cherry Blossom has learned her real heritage." Sometime later, Cherry Blossom and her uncle returned to their ance tral home in England, leaving behind them forever, America and the little curio shop. 1r. herwood gave the famous va to herry Blossom, and it is h ld in the greate ·t e teem by all who live in Broadland Manor.

What seedling make their home in thee orne day? 1ayhap a violet hall have it root To blush unseen by cooling woodland stream; Or from thy depths a turdy oak shall shoot, The king of trees in majesty supreme; Or yet a wild rose fated soon to cheer Some little child in sickness, worn and sad, And placed with care upon a table near, Bring back her mile so radiant and so glad.
