BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education is oft-en overlooked when credit is given at the end of a successful school term. However. we, "The Seniors of '37", wish to thank the Board of Education for the cooperation they showed when they presented A. C. H. S. with a hot-water heater, cabinets in various rooms, win- dow shades, and the fine cabinet in the clothing room. We could always depend on the Board of Education to assist us. This class can never forget the consideration this splendid organization has shown. Since the Board of Education believes in a well equipped building and good teachers, our school has acquired a high standard. TOP PICTURE Uieft to Rightj: Wilbert P. Adermann, Arthur Davidson. secretary: Charles Blakely. president: Frank Andrews. and E. VV. Budde. THE STUDENT COUNCIL ln 193-l the Student Council was organized. This body was formed for the purpose of deciding upon the various school problems that con- fronted the teachers. Two honor roll students were chosen from each class, a boy and a. girl. In September 1936, the following persons were chosen for the Student Uouncil: The Seniors chose, Martha Schroeder and Earl Tappendorfg Juniors-Helen Zimmerman. and Glen Sticeg Sophomores-Mildred Brauer and Robert Bicknell: Freshmen-Catherine Koeberlein and Eugene Bauer. The officers were: Chairman-Glen Sticc: Secretary-Mildred Brauer, and Mr. Haag. Sponsor. 1 , Some of the tasks accomplished were: 1. Two persons are allowed on the assembly floor at the same 2. A student must have at least a "t"' in dcportmcnt and an ot' "B" to he exempted from the semester examinations. 3. A Christmas box was planned and it was seen that every ceived a present. ' 4. Musical and Essay contests were proposed. 5. Eighth period programs on Friday were to be sponsored by organizations. . 6. De mortment grades are averaged in. with the grades.

THE FACULTY "The Plass of 'Il7", which surpasses all other classes. wishes to con- fer special credit to the faculty who have made a great sacrifice to humanlty by trying to educate the youth of Altamont. Often they have become discouraged. and disheartened in their work. Nevertheless, they have continued to try and by successive failures and disappointments have succeeded. Perhaps they feel that they have been unsuccessful, but we feel that they have been snccessfulg and as proof of our belief we will try to do our best because their accomplishments can only be shown in the lives of students. To whatevelr place we might rise in the world, we will always feel that our teachers have been responsible for our advancement. BOTTOM PICTURE theft to Rightj :-Standing: Ethel Ragland.

The sky changes from purple to gold And makes a delightful scene Later the stars appear, so bold Giving the sky a brighter sheen. The cows come treading wearily home While they slowly chew their cud, Bees seek the hive, n.o more to roam Until the S1111 shines through the woods. The floweret droopin.g its tiny head In the evening can be seen, And the birds are hopping oft to bed To dream of the grass so green. Then comes the quiet twilight VVhich everyone should enjoyg Next appears the soft moonlight That holds charms for every boy. At last arrives the spirited night With the moon, of which I have told Making the World, peaceful and quiet, Full of the wonders it can hold. Rosalie Zimmerman. "IN THE WINTER" When the wind whistles through the trees When the leaves become brown and sere, And the snow bird which we see Hops to a hollow oak tree near. Then we know that winter's nigh And the grain is stored away. Mr. Black Bear, with fl heavy sigh Goes to sleep 'till some bright day. At home in tl1e eve everyone is cheery, While the ehestnuts roast in the fire Not even grandmother can be dreary 'Cause of her knitting she does not tire. The young folks all at checkers play While eating popcorn Snowy white Old Rover on the rugs does lay Glad he belongs to a family so bright. VVhile everyone inside is cheery Outside the snowflakes quietly fall, Like magic, making the world less dreary And blanketing the shrubs, both large an Rosalie Zimmerman. d small D P ib. bii 4 4 ELLA MAE BECCUE "Read widely tn show thyself educated along many lines".

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY -Urns sEN1oRs KNOW AND THEY KNOW 'PHAT THEY KNOW" In the year of 1919, just eighteen years ago, most ot' the boys and girls who now comprise the Se11ior Flass of A. U. H. S. first gazed upon. this great world. Since this memorable year a few of us have stuck together and are now ready to make our advent into the world from high school. l'nlike most of the other Freshman classes preceding us, we entered our high school career as a group of thirty-eight bold. interested and determined students. Although we were considered green and dumb Freshies by the upper classmen. most of us Freshmen thought we were very smart and could get along in high school just as well as they. We soon discovered, however. that there was much to be learned here, and settled down to an enjoyable year. The social events consisted ofa weiner roast at the Cliffs, a Halloween party. and a Spring party. We chose as our officers: Linder Devore, Presi- dentg Warren Dunn, Vice-presidentg Miriam Ehlers, Secretary: Mary U. Yondenbosch. Treasurer, and Mr. VV. L. Briggs as Sponsor. ln September 1934 as a bunch of thirty-one giggling Sophomores, we entered the then familiar assembly, determined to succeed in our second term ot' this education. VVe elected the following officers: Jack VVilson. Presi- dentg Linder Devore, Vice-president: Alvin Ferchow, Secretary: Vl'arren Dunn. TI'9?l-Slll't'l', an.d Miss Pierson, sponsor. VVe initiated the Freshmen at a St. Patricks Day party. and 'they gave us a, Kids' Party. In this year we became acquainted with four new teachers: Mr. Casey. Principalg Mr. Haag, Coach and Uommercial teacher: Miss Stibbins, Home lfleonomics, and Miss Mayhew, Music and English. The next fall we again en.tered the old familiar assembly as a group of twenty-seven full-fledged Juniors. By this time we were really ready for work and took active part in basket ball. G. A. A., Girls' Glee t'luh. Orchestra. Band, Student Uouncil, Paper Staff, Boys' Glee t'lub. and Boys' Quartette. We chose the following officers: VVarren Dunn. President: Earl Tappendorf. Vice-president: James Morehead, Secretary, and Edna Nierman. Treasurer. We enjoyed a weiner roast, a winter party, and gave the Seniors a May Day Banquet. The dining room was decorated to represent a beautifull May Pole scene with streamers leading to all the tables. After the delicious banquet, several of the Junior girls entertained the Seniors with a May Pole Dance. Miss Pierson, as our sponsor, is to be given credit for this suc- cessful event. This year is also to be remembered for the fun we had in the t'onnnercial Contests, the loss of Miss Stibbins, and the replacement of her position by Miss Haefele. This last year we have been more than interested in our school work. The elass, as a whole, is determined to get all they can out of this last year at dear Old A. U. H. S. We lost Edna Niermann and James Morehead from our roll and gained Martha Schroeder. Uleta Hites, Margaret Seyferth, Harold Zander, and f'yril Patteson. Before the semester, Mack Peters left us and we continued as a group of twenty-seven Seniors. Miss Mct'ord replaced Misa Mayhew as Music and Biology instructor at the beginning of this year. On February the thirteenth we gave the Juniors a Valentine party. The rooms were decorated with many large and small hearts and created a beauti, ful scene. Miss Pierson, as sponsorg Linder Devore, President, Cyril Pat- terson, Vice-presidentg Helen Rockwell. Secretary. and Mary F. Vondenhosch, Treasurer. are to be given credit for the achievements this year.

Signed, published and declared by the above named Senior Class of A. C. H. S., of 1937, as and for their last will and testament in the presence- of us, who in their presence, and in the presenee of each other, and at the request ofthe Senior Class. have hereunto Signed or subscribed our names as witnesses. CLASS PROPHECV May 31, 1951. Fifteen years ago a group of twenty-seven were listening ro advice given to them in their commencement address. Some had tears in their eyes and lumps in their throats because they realized that friends must say "adieu"-some forever, and, some for a period of time. Each individual P f f- 4 4 must go out. in.to the world and work for himself. Some had easy sailing but others had lives filled with sorrow, disappointment, and many hardships that no one has ever known about. Life to a few was one hard struggle after another but finally the goal was reached and great was their reward. Mem- ory carries me back to the name of each individual and vaguely I try to recall what they are doing. Last fall my assistant called me and said, "Mrs. E. F. Harrison has just breathed her last, and her daughtier-in-law has called requesting that you have charge of the embalming and funeral services. The address is 12,56 Rosewood Avenue, New York City." Immediately I put on my coat, stepped into my car and whizzed through the busy streets of New York City toward Rosewood Avenue. Finally I reached my destination, got out of the car, and walked up to the door of a beautiful bungalow. I was greeted by a lady who appeared to be thirty or thirty-two years of age. She said, "Miss Ehlers, I do not expect you to remember me but I am one of your former friends and l have always said that if any of my relatives died I wanted you to embalm them." Astounded at that remark, I looked at Mrs. Harrison and tried to recall whom she reminded' me of. Suddenly, I said, "Wl1y', Mary f'atherin.e. of all people." She said, "Yes, It. is I. I married Mr. Harrison, jr., June 12. 1939 and his business has brought him to this Metropolis. He has had very prosperous years and the death of Mrs. Harrison, sr., has been our first sorrow." She had not changed during the fifteen years. For the months to follow, we renewed our friendship and often talked about the class of '37 and what they were doing. Many times I received letters from Marthagene James Devore saying that Linder and she were living in Chicago, Illinois, where he was coaching in one of the high schools. He was gaining a name for himself as well as making friends wherever he went. They have two children, Lina Lee and Billy. Martha said, "Billy is just like his fat.her an.d Lina Lee is just be- ginning to be mischievious. Of course, she eouldn't help but be because we both are." If we were to go to Hollywood, we would see Helen Rockwell, known as "Shirley Rochelle," play in the movies. Her latest picture was "Back in the Days of '36." She is still the same, though--laughing. smiling, and sometimes sulking. In a little country school house at Spring Valley, Illinois, Martha Schroed- er is trying to teaeh the 3 R'S-reading, 'riting, and 'ritlnnetic. She shakes her finger. peers over her glasses, and then begins to talk to them. Many a ehild has been brought into the cultural class by her untiring efforts. She doesnft mind her walk of two miles tlirougfli mud in rainy weather because she knows she is serving someone. Several weeks before I had gone back home. Things had changed but several of the old class were still in Altamont. ,lack Leitzell and Edwin Tap- pan were helping at home on the farm. Both of these former classmates were still chums. During the time I was vacationing in the good fresh air of Altamont I never saw Jael: but what he had a smile stretched from ear to ear. Edwin still loved to plav his harmonica and he played it. better than the day I had to plan the program in music class and he favored us with the seleetions, "Red VVing" and "Old Folks 'it Home." Pauline Mills was liv- ing at the home of her parents. Mr. Mills, her father, was still teaching in the Altamont Grade Schools and held the position of superintendent. From our ranks a world renowned philosopher had arisen. This was none other than Cyril Patterson who had joined our group during the Senior year in A. C. H. S. In English IV he had been noted for his wit and Wise- eraeks, but little did anyone think he would give a philosophy of life in gen- eral t.o other people. Several of the old gang who had heard him said they -n,.......,.,.-,M .M H . ,..,, . ............ 5.1. ..... ...... ,...

In those days we thought Bill was simply GR-AND! In Barnes Hospital St. l.ouis, Missouri, Doris Frazer is seen in a nurse uniform. She is putting forth unceasing effort trying to cheer the people suffering with pai11 who think life holds nothing more for them. Many a person's heart is made lighter by her smile and kind word. From the Shorthand they learned in A. C. H. S. and also that tl1ey learn- ed at the Oentralia Business College, Earl Tappendorf, and Rosalie Zimmer- man have secured good positions. Slowly they have advanced from one posi- tion to another until finally they have set world records. Of the Major League Ball players of the year '51 we see the names of Alvin Ferchow, Harold Zander, VVarren Dunn, and Oscar Schroeder in the headlines of our daily newspapers and also in the daily broadcasts over the N. B. U. Network. Each boy thanks Mr. Haag for the trainin.g he gave them in school. Although each boy is single it has been rumored accord- ing to reports given to me from letters from my friends that Oscar is planning to propose to Doris Frazer. This is not a surprised because they cherished each other hack in 4 nr school days ard nieny wc' e the times we doubled-dated lt' we were'to go to Mattoon, Illinois and visit the Montgomery VVard Store our eyes would catch sight of Marian Finfrock. She enjoys clerking very much and says that she has cast all thoirrhts of matrimony aside. Over in Paris, France, Ruth Zimmerman is a designer. Her dress styles are known from the east to the west: from the north to the south. Ruth al- ways tries to make fancy dresses. Harry Fisher is a scientist and at present he is working on aiship that will take man to the moon safely and surely. Harry firmly believes it can he done if people try hard enough. May luck be with Harry! Marjorie Ehlers is married to Melvin Slone and they are living on a farm near Edgewood, Illinois. They have had many struggles to keep font ol' debt -.luring drouth years but nevertheless they are happy and contented. In Dallas. Texas, Ella May Beccue is teaching music in theiHigh School. She is well liked having been there since her graduation from the Il. of I. in '41, Elnora Harsch is living at her father's. She does work in the old home town and takes an interest in the sports that -occur there. Several times I have received "The Altamont Herald published by El- wood Hasemeier. I welcome this paper because it is full of the news from Altamont and the surrounding country. Many of the'names are strange and the names of the folks I knew get more scarce every day. And the Democratic senator from the 23rd I'fmnf1'ressional District of Illi- nois is none other than Hugh Tipsword. How people were fooled when they said. 'tllugh Tipsword will never amount to anything"! On a large dairy farm near Elwood. Illinois Margaret Seyferth Heisehmidt is kept busy seeing that everything is clean. Albert Henry and Margaret were married shortly after graduation. To this union two boys were born and they have proved very helpful to their father even when they were just 'tlittle men". And the supervisor of the children's ward at St. Luke's Hospital Chicago. Illinois is none other than Uleta Hites. It was always f'leta's desire to work with the voung children and now she is very happy to know that she has done what she set out to do. VVell. our class wasn't so had as people thought it would be. Out of the 27 there were no criminals or law-breakers. VVe all have done a good work even though some of us have nat received world wide recognition. VVe are confident that there will never be a class that will excel as our great class has done. .. ..... BUILD FOR CHARAACTER NOT FOR FAME Character is that something of which we are all possessors. A good character is something that can not be easily attained that is, by mere turn.- ing of the hand. We are known by our character, and it is through it that the world points us with its huge brush. Uharacter is that engraving which we leave cn the minds of other individuals. We alone are responsible for it. No other person can mold our own lives. Character is that which has to be built. lt has to be built on solid founda- tion, so t.hat it can not be swept away by the sands of time. We are adding to our character each day as we travel slowly down the avenue of life. ln. building we must not forget that the greatest of men were those who built. with care, and not in a slip-shod manner in order to become famous. "Build l'or tame and you become proud and vain." 'l'o become famous you must first possess a good character-a character that is not stained and blotted with mire, but one that is clean and' nnmarred by the sears of this life. To build a good character we must work diligently and not seek fame. lf we have built a character that will stand the test, eventually we will be- come famous. But after all what can be achieved of becoming famous, it we have no good character to back it.'l Let us then start building with a mighty aim seeking that which cannot be taken. from us-Character. -Martha Schroeder.

Now they were engaged in a. great struggleg testing whether that class, or any class so conceived and so dedicated eould achieve school supremacy. They were met in a great review of that struggle. They here dedicate a portion of this annual as a final record of those who contributed toward the success of that class. lt is altogether fitting and proper that they do this. ln the beginning, as Freshmen, their wavering footsteps were guided by the mighty upperclassmen. Through the paths of knowledge they were con.- ducted by their sponsor, Miss Stibbins. The following officers were eleeted: Mae Walker, president: Charles Haker, viee president: Harold Bauer, treas- urerg and James Russell, secretary. The social events that year included a weiner roast. a kid party. and a spring party. l'pon re-entering school the upperclassmen discovered that they had increased mightily in wisdom and self-confidence, since the fall of 1935. The officers elected were: Jack Wilson, president, Harold Bauer, vice president: Walter Cooley, secretaryg and Junior Rehwald, treasurer. The Sophomores gave the Freshmen a Hallowe'en party. Their sponsor. Miss Ftibbins, ae- cepted a position in lndiana at the end of the first semester so Miss Haefele was then their sponsor. Then they were Juniors. School opened September l. 1936 with thirty- one enrolled in the Junior class. They were amazed when they saw how their number had decreased but they eould not allow themselves to mourn long about the loss for they were forced to turn their attention to the great task remaining before them and work with added zeal. The class eleeted the fol- lowing officers: Marthagene James. presidentg Junior Rehwald. viee presi- dent: Virginia Smith, secretary: and Gilbert Becker, treasurer. The soeial events of this Vear are each and everv one worth l'9IIlt'Yllllt'l'lll"'. I . n . u P ln the first. ilace they had a wemer roast at the Young Grove one beautiful u . . . P u October elvenmv, along with the Seniors. where they had a most en ovable n P- a by n . . . l time. The planning of the Junior and Senior banquet was great fun even if there was a great deal of work. The Seniors found the Juniors very good entertainers.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY -"PHE sorHoMoaEs lJON"l' KNOW BUT THEY THINK THEY KNOW" September 1935 the Altamont Uomnninity High School seemed to be in the nature of a reunion for most of the students who flocked up the broad steps and into the red brick building. 'l'here were a few shy, uncertain girls and several bashful, awkward boys hesitating on the walk or loafing in the halls. The older students were glancing about significantly at the newcomers in that tantalizing manner that spelled condescension. Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors were recognizing Freshmen and remarking. "You can tell them at a glance." After they became acquainted with one another they chose the following officers: President, Harold Matlockg Vice president, Howard llnnng and Sec- retary-treasurer. Twila Jane Bolin. Miss Ragland was appoin.ted sponsor. The social. events that year included a weiner roast, a Hallowe 'en party. and a spring party. H ln September 1936 the Sophomores did not have to be told where to go but they were helping the Freshmen by telling them the rules and where to go. Ever since the fall of 1935 when they entered their high school, career as Freshmen, they were very active in promoting the interests of the school in every organization. They felt it had been Well worth their effort to make this school year as suceexssful as it has been. The following officers were elected: President, John. Pearceg Vice presi- dent. Twila Jane Rolinq Secretary, Lois James: Treasurer, Robert Ricknell: and Miss Ragland was sponsor. , Besides being in social activities they had a weiner roast in the fall. with the Freshmen. l30'l"l70M l'lUT1'RE CI.eft to Righti :-Top row: NV.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY THE FRESHMEN DON 'T KNOW AND THEY KNOW THEY DONT KNOW Just look at the following picture page and you 'll see a picture with the largest Freshie class that ever came to A. C. H. S. They were not only the largest class but the prettiest, the brightest, the happiest, the most loyal, the homeliest, the most popular, and the healthiest class that eiver appeared at A. O. H. S. When they had become accustomed to their different school and strange surroundings, a class meeting was called for the election of officers. The officers elected were: Eugene Bauer, president, Catherine Koeberlein, vice president, Nadine Burrow, secretary, and Helen liurkhardt, treasurer. Miss Hearn was appointed the sponsor. On October 21, 1936 they had a Weiner roast with the Sophomores in. the gymnasium on' account of the rain. The Freshmen were well represented in the activities of the school. Some of them were i11 the Boys' G-lee Club, Girls' Glee Club. Student Uouueil, Boys' Quartette, Operetta, Racket Staff, and Orchestra. The, Freshmen have hoqmcs that they will continue to be the largest class next year and in. the two succeeding years. TOP l'lO'l'llRE theft to Rightj:-Top row: A. Taylor, K. Schroeder, Me- Donald, A.

The teacher 's desk is in the front of the room, the library at the back, and the magizine rack is in the southwest corner. At the back of the room is a lon.g table where the D and E students indulge in connversation. and the magazine rack is the Freshmank haven of Paradise. The students are arranged in the order of their standing. Starting at the right we find the Seniors, then the Juniors, Sophomores, and last, but not. least, the big shots of the school. We have a very fine library in our school with books ranging from the life of Julius Caesar to the works of William Makepeace Thacherav. All the students have enjoyed these masterpieces of literature. There are several pictures of famous men along the Freshmen 's side which probably accounts for the brillian.t behavior and recitations of that class. , 1+ w X .

No group could be found that would have a better spirit of cooperation. Many times they were met with discouragement, obstacles, and disap- pointment. Even this trouble was small compared with their desire to publish a year book that would bring back memories of their days in A. C. H. S. and also recall many old acquaintances. Since the year book is published each of us are proud of it and have a deep satisfaction because we feel we have done a great work and a task that our lower classmates will appreciate. THE RAUKET Three years ago thc studen.ts felt that gl school paper would add much to the school spirit and also create enjoyment. ln the two preceding years the school paper was typed and then run off on the ditto machine. This paper was very good but it was found that after 100 or more copies were run off the words were hard to distinguish. With this in mind they decided to have it printed and it was decided to have Mr. Schorsch do the printing. Our paper. was published every two weeks in thc insidc of the Altamont News. Every student looked forward to this publication and felt that it was quite worthwhile. After we students are old and gray and our eyes fall upon the old, yellow sheets of tlns paper, many memories will be recalled of the days when we had a part in school activities. THE LIBRARY One of the most important and interesting features of our school is our library. lt is under the supervision of Miss t'onstance Pierson, who is assisted by several student librarians. The school library ls a complete source of knowledge, as well as it companion to the students an.d teachers. Many books have been added to our list during the past term which arc highly appreciated by everyone. For knowledge of different subjects, our librarians can furnish you with the following sources of which our library consists: Fiction hooks, Science, Mathematics, Physics, Health Hygiene, Zoology, Foods, Geography, Music, Clothing, General Literature, Drama, English Literature, Latin, Ancieiit. American and Modern History, European History, Dictionaries, Various magazines, and Encyclopedias. These different divisions can be used for ref- erence. evereyday practical reading. and enjoyment. as well as being bene- ficial to the students. Our library always looks nice and is always given proper care. It is highly prized by the entire Community.

GUEST lly the troubles y'ou have met By the griefs which you have borne, By the heartache and regret, And the bleeding from the thorn, On the cruel forge of strife You shall shape a lovelier life. Souls are made by hammer blows And the batterings of fate, He who on.lv nleasure knows Never can be truly great, All our faith, and all our pride Must be very often tried. Youth has beauty of its own, Smiles make lovely any face. But the heart which much has known Has a richer touch of grace, Out of trial, out of grief Glows the splendor of belief. On the anvil of the years Must our characters be wrought, By our heartaches and our tears , We are won to gentler thought, Out of suffering We .find ' The true glory of mankind. WMI' III, I "'i.

"THE THA HOUSE OF SING LO" Business is dull at the Tea House of Sillg llo, due to the t'0l1S9I'VHi'lSIl'l of the owner, who detests II10llPI'1l advertising methods. J. Mortimer Maxwell. proprietor of "Sho-Glo" Electric Signs, arrives to capture the China market, accompanied by his wife. his daughter, June, and his salesman, Bert McKee, who aspires to XVlll June's hand. Goaded by Bert, Maxwell agrees to the lnarriage provided Bert proves his llnsiness mettle by selling a sigll to Sing llo, wllo has givell orders to have all salesmen. thrown out.

DRAMATIU CLUB PLAY As has llt'PlI the custom, the Dramatic Club presented a play during May. The play they chose was "Soup to Nuts." Doctor Manny Pilski, a progressive llealtll specialist. has conceived the idea of Opt-'lllllg a dietetic sanitorium on the Ualifornia desert XVll9l'9 lneals are served ill the form of concentrated pellets. Starting on a snlall Scale with Miss Rice, the cllief attendallt, and Hotfoot. a colored porter, he expects the busilless to grow witll leaps and bounds, and it does. Among the first guests are Mrs. Beams. a society matron, wllo brings her lovely daughter Veronica Beams, for a course of treatments. and two mysterious patients. Lincoln Lewis and Trudy Trudello. Trudy is a. movie 11119911 who loves Olllv one thing better tlla11 her dear public. and that's herself. Things begin to disappear from the laboratory, alld Doctor Pilski sends to Los Angeles for a detective. Bob Bemlillgtoll arrives on the scene to solve the mysterious tllefts illlll runs slap ll!-lllgl' illto his sweetheart. Veronica, witll whom he has quarreled. Veronica decides fo teach Bob a lesson, so slle plays up. to handsome David Strong, all Olympic games contender, who has come to the sanitorium to get away from too much food. David is quite pleased with Veroniea's attention but gets into a mess when Claire Dalton, his fiancee, and her aunt, Selena Uatehwell, appear on the scenef. Things go from had to worse as Damon Goodfellow arrives with his bag full of chronic gronch. Violent dislikes are formed, with all of the patients trying to avoid each other. In the meantime, Doctor l'ilski receives from a Russian friend, three sample hottles of "emotional pellets." These are laheled 'Angerf 'llovef an.d 'Trnth,' and the colors correspond with l'ilski's food pellets. Ry accident the 'Anger' pellets are served for luncheon. and when they take effect, pandemoninm reigns. Losing: control of their tempers, the patients hoil with rage. VVhen. the hedlam reaches a point beyond endurance, someone serves the 'Love' pellets for dinner.

W 1 WW W O R C IIESTRA This year the orchastra was organized under the direction of our new music instructor, Miss Mary l.ouise Mct'ord. We started out with an alto- gether different view toward music than we had had in. our previous years. At our first rehearsal we had a number of set rules presented before the organization whicl1 we were to obey and practice during '36 and '2l7. The officers which were chosen for 1936-37 were President, Doris Frazer, Vice President, Evelyn lloarq Sec.-Treas., Uatherine 'Koeberleinq Head Li- brarian, Virginia Smith, Assistant Ilibrarian, Betty Stiee: Reporter, Virginia Zachag Business Manager, Miriam Ehlers. The orchestra has been quite an educational feature in our high school for quite a n.umber of years. They have appeared at many entertainments, and they gave a spring concert on May 14th. 1 GIRLS' AND BOYS' GIJEIC ULUB This group of young people were interested in developing their voices an.d hope to do this through the training received in the glee clubs which were under the direction of Miss McCord. During the year they found that by music many different words could be expressed--gay, sorrow, despair, hope, faith. Throughout the year these groups have appeared in public. For tl1e operetta and also for the commence- ment exercises, Miss McCord selected students from these organizations to sing. The officers of the Boys' Glee Club are: President, Jerome Seltzer: Secretary-Treasurer, Ernest Schorsch Jr.g Librarian, Robert Bicknellg Assis- tant Librarian. Fred Hasemeierg Reporter, Eugene Bauer. The officers for the First Girls' tllee t'lub are: President, Virginia Smith: Vice-President, Twila Jane Boling Secretary-Treasurer. Helen Rockwell: Pianist, Mariam Ehlers. From the Second Girls' Glee Club we have the following officers: President, Martha Schroederg Vice-President, Helen Zinnnerniang Secretary- Treasurer, Nadine Iinrrowg Pianist. Helen Burkhardt. As the school year ends, each individual feels that he has.accomplislled a worthwhile task and benefited in a small way from the instruction given by Miss Mcf'ord. BOYS' OUARTETTE Every student who has studied music knows it is easy to sing with a group but it is very difficult to carry an independent part unless one has natural talent. However we have four boys who have been able to do both of these thin.gs. These boys have tried, to do their bsst in entertaining and bringing en- joyment and we feel that they have succeeded. When life is almost over, they will recall these pleasant days when they worked together. The members of the quartette are: Eugene Bauer, first tenorg Linder Devore, second tenorg Jerome Seltzer, first bassg and Kenneth Schroeder, second bass.

JJ s P o R T s The Altamont Community High School major sport activity is basket- ball. lt has been the drawing ticket in sports for ma11y years, and will probably continue so in the future. Mr. Haag, who has been coaching the high school sports for the past two years, was eagerly awaiting the present basketball season First practice was called about two weeks before the first game of the season, and the students 'showed their interest in the game, by having nearly fifty students out for the first night of practice. The squad was cut down after one week of practice to fifteen members. The local fans expected much from this years' high school team as t'our lettermen would return from last years' strong squad, to repeat their skill this season. The four lettermen around which coach would build up his team were: Captain L. Devore. VVarren Dunn. Alvin Ferchow, and Melvin Stone. These four play- ers l1ad played in many basketball games and know the technique from start to finish. Other players who made a good showing in the previous year, and' would be back on the squad again are: Howard Dunn, John Pearce, Oscar Schroeder, and VValter Cooley. A hopeful player from Beecher City, Harold Zander, would be out 'this Year to do his best to make the high school team. After two weeks of practice and severe training, the team was ready to face the outcome of their first game on November 7. This first game presented a double header in which two differenft high school teams would seek victory against the local high school team. The high school reserves defeated Edgewood high school and the first team defeated Mulberry Grove high school. Many fans thought that 'the team just couldn't be beaten, but they were given their first defeat by Greenup on November 10, by the score of 221 to 10. Our boys failed to take advantage of their free throws and, therefore. an- nexed their first defeat to their record for the year. A successful journey was made to Mulberry Grove on an unlucky day. Friday 13 of November, with a victory of 26 to 11. Ferchow realized l.is position as center, and made a majority of the points to complete the victory. The local high school team was to play the first conference game with Uowdeu on November 19, which resulted in a victory for the t'owdeu boys. Tl1e score was 18 to 22. The team 's fast break failed to connect and Cowden was capable of holding a small lead throughout the game. The Alumni lost a close and exciting game to the Varsity on November 25, by the score of 31 to 30. Alvin Ferchow, and tlapttain Dcvore were largely responsible for the scoring with 23 points between the two players. On December 1. the home team lost a hard-fought game to Kinmundy. with the score reading 2-l to 27. Kinmundy has a tall and fast team and these advantages somtimes account for the ending decision. High School lost another close game to Neoga. December 4. by the score of 22 to 25. This game was their second conference defeat in as many games. Their third conference game with Stewardson, on December 0, resulted in their first victory in the standings. Altamont won this game from Steward- son. 28 to 25 in one overtime. On December 12, the local team lost to the strong Centralia team, 21 to 43 and thus our team was onlv plaving 5f'0 nercent basketball as the Don- ference Tournament drew near. Coach Haag changed the starting lineup after this game. by moving Dunn to the forward position with Devore. and these two forwards soev- created a combination that was hard to surpass. After the change. the bovs won 10 games in succession. and then lost again to the s-eutherners from Centralir. The te-un eoinpleted its scheduled games by winning the last five an.d set a record of winning sixteen out of seventeen games. --'-- ---- .--- CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT The annual National Trail Conference tournament was held at Browns- town, December 17, 18, and 19. In this tournament, Altamont was successful in defending their championship gained in the tournament of 'the previous year, and again took first. place honors by winning out in. the finals against Neoga 33 to 30. Our basketball team won the tournament by defea'ting St. Elmo, Vowden, and Neoga in that order. Altamont fans saw the high school playing their best in the tournament and extended many congratulations. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The Illinois High School District Tournament was held at Altamont on Feln-nary 25, 26, and 27. Teams who participated :it the district were: Shum- way, llieterieh, Watson, Beecher City, Montrose, Edgefwood, Mason, Bible Grove, and Sigel. Mason defeated Montrose 19 to 15 in the finals on Satur- day night, to win the district. These two teams took part in. the Regional at Effingham, March 4, 5, and 6. Mason played Teutopolis and Montrose met Altamont. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT Effingham won the Regional Tournament by defeating Teutopolis 23 to 18. Altamont defeated Mon.trose 62 to 21 in the first round of the tourney. but lost out in the semifinals to Effingham by the score of 22 to 31. INTRA-MVR-AL BASKET BALL Students interested in basketball were given a chance to play in. intra- mural basket ball. Seven teams were organized from the list of students interested, including six players on each team. During the season each team played one game with the other and a standing of the results were kept. The team that won the most games would receive metals for eaeh of its members.

Most of the players who eomposed the seeond squad were underelass- iuen.,!who pi-olwhlv will he haf-li to show the value of their experienee gained through these second team games. On Mareh 11, the Junior girls won the elass haskethall tournament. NATIONAL TRAIL CONFERENFE STANDINGS Altamont again tied for first placehonors in the National Trail standings with Neoga.

' P fi 4 4 THE DRAMATIC CLUB This organization which we call our Dramatic Club has been ot' vital interest to students for the past several years. This club is under the very capable leadership of Miss Constance Pierson and with her as our directress we accomplished many worth while things during the year. The elub met as usual in Se1.tc'mber and elected the following officers: President, Linder Devoreg Vice-President, Margaret Syferthg Secretary, Helen Roekwellg Trasurer, Harold Zander: Club Reporter, Mary Catherine Yondenbosch. The following people were chosen for the program committee: Earl Tappendorf, Helen Rockwell. Elwood Hasemeier and Martha Schroeder for the entire year. The purpose of this club is to prepare interested students for publie speaking, dranlatical gestures, eostuming. acting and make-up. lt is educa- tional as well as valuably interesting. lt offers many opportunities to the student who will grasp them. One of its greatest and most memorable aeeomplislunents was the Dra- matic Club play which was presented during the last week of school. BOOK CLUB The Senior Class of 1937 and their capable sponsor, Miss t'onstan.ce Pierson, organized a club known as the Book f'lub. The purpose of this club was to give the students a greater opportunity to read books. A book was assigned to be read and reported on at each meeting. Toward' the close of the year two and three books were reported on at each meeting in order to finish the required list. This club took the place of reading two novels a week for a period of six Weeks. Miss Pierson's l1o111e was agreed upon as a meeting place and seven o'elock was chosen as the time. When the question arose as to how often we should meet, it was decided that one meetin.g 3 month would be sufficent. After the Senior Ulass had all arrived, the reports oft the evening were given and then comments and opinions followed. These book clubs have proved to be a social event as well as an occasion at which each person. may express his views. NVQ- believe this club was very profitable and hope the Seniors of the "Class of 'RST will follow our plan. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION livery girl interested in Athletics joined this organization. Many bene- fits were received from this, but the greatest was the promotion of health by hikes and various out door sports. Early in the fall the girls took hikes. On each hike they would go a little farther than they had gone on the previous one. Many times the weather prevented the hikes and as a result they did not get to go as far as they had planned at the first of the year. On May 6 they entertained the basketball boys, cheer leaders and the managers to a pienic at Young's Grove. They have enjoyed the good times they had while working and hiking together and feel the time given to the Girls' Athletic Association was profitable. the IJRAMATHT CLUB PIUTITRE TOP PICTUR-E theft to Righty- Top row Hasemeiei R l ll .- : .

'h'iiq4"-' T A ffl, 1 1 wwf 4 4 1 I V ffflasszs PHYSICS With the aid of our most learned instructor, RV. B. Casey, the principal of A. l'. ll. S.. we have procured and hope to apply many of the rudiments of the great field of Physics. The first semester we delved into the secrets of machines, heat and en.erg'jr and liquids. ln the study of machines we started with the simple lever and developed into many more intricate aids to the human strength. Through the applying of heat and energy to levers, we have an engine capable of producing much horse power. The steam engin.e is a good example of this. Through the use of the firebox, we have heat. the eneregy of which is put in the water, producing steam. this works the lever which turns the wheel that moves the engine and so, it is very much, like the house that Jack built. We may think that an engine of this kind, while it seetmks very etomplicated to the layman, is very simple to anyone who wishes to study 3 few of the elementary facts. We learned that heat may be transferred in many different ways: and how to prevent the transferring of heat when we need to. It is transit rred by convection.. conduction and radiation. There were luany other minor points such as this the first. semester. The second semester was taken up with electrical energy and ways and means of measuring it, using it, and producing it. We also had a touch of sound waves, through the atmosphere and through more solid matter. In our study of electricity we began with the Leyden jar, a simple storage battery and worked up to electric motors and multicellcd batteries. We think everyone profits from this course, even though students are given the impression that it is a very difficult and complicated course. I VOMM ERUI A li SUBJ ECTS Several years ago the need for a Commercial Department was seen so typing and shorthand courses were offered in addition to bookkeeping which had previously been taught. Mr. Haag has taught these subjects during the past three years. From these subjects we learned cooperation and also that accuracy out- weighs speed in any line. Commercial students participated in many contests from which they de- rived pleasure. experince and made new acquaintances. Although most of us may never use these Subjects as a means of a. living we will have something to depend upon should we be in need of financial support. t'tlMMERt'lAl. t'0N"l'ES'l'S On Saturday, Feb. 27, the following studentw from the Altamont Uom- munity High Sehool t"ommereial Classes went to Shelbyville to the Invitation- al l'ontest: Juniors-Doris Mery. Virginia Smith, Florence Koberlein, Martha- gene James, and Junior Rehwaldg and Seniors-Doris Frazer. Helen Rockwell. Marv Uatharine Vondenbosch. Rosalie Zimmerman, Linder Devore, Earl Tap- pendorf and Harold Zanders. .Of the 20 schools represented Altamont took first place. They won a beautiful cup and several of the students received ribbons for individual honors. Thev returned home, proud of the honor we had won for Altamont and determined to win. at the District Fontest, to he held in two weeks. This con- test was held at Vandalia. The Same group of students went. Here, again, we won first place. The school received a large certificate and the students re- ceived small certifieates as individual honors. ' ----- -b4- ----- 5 P ...Q 4 4 After two more weeks of practice in Typing and Shorthand, the students who won first or second place at Yandalia were taken to Decatur. Here, at the Sectional, Contest, we met with much competition. Although, we didn 't take first place, we did make a good showing. Mr. Haag, our Commercial Teacher, said he wished we could have taken first place but was proud of t.he record we did make. U The Commercial students wish to thank Mr. Haag for the excellent train- ing we have received in typing, shorthaixd and bookkeeping and the wonderful tnne we had at the party he gave for the students who participated in the contests.

S. as green as a Freshman, only in reality a Senior. My mind was in a whirl. What had this school to offer that I had previously never had? Foods, Typewriting, Shorthand, and dozens of other features that mean so much to the advanced student. The pupils and faculty were extremely kind and considerate. Along with all of its advantages, Altamont makes you feel at home-as if you belonged to the "gang," You are allowed to join any of the activities you desire. Two of the best features of the school are the publication of the Altois and the Racket. My only regret is that I didn't become a member of your happy gang sooner. I see now the many opportunities I have missed by attemling a small- er school. Altamont has taught me the art of getting along with other peo- ple and to enjoy life to its fullest extent by always being in a good humor. 1t's the School that teaches you everything. -eMargaret Seyferth 1 1 1 4 1 H, 'T 1.

During the year the girls have made lingerie, print dresses and blouses. The girls who are more advanced made garments which were more advanced than the other garments made. Besides these things we learn.ed the im- portant faetors of good grooming in relation to health and pleasing ap- pearance. how to spend our money, the most economically in relation to our .uersonal budget. Miss Haefele has been our capable instructor during the year and we hope that we have learned mueh whieh will help us later on after our high sehozml days are over. " FOODS CENTENNIAII' During the summer eaeh girl is assigned a project to aeeomplish by the beginning of the following school year. These projects are exhibited eaeh fall. We have found this work to be very interesting as well as very profitable. Through this plan we are given a chance to show what we are capable doing. All of the projeets are under the supervision of Miss Haefele. Vl'e entered a contest which was sponsored by the Kraft Cheese Fo. In this eontest we were given a list of supplies available and from this list we were to plan a menu for each meal for one Week, and we were supposed to include as many dishes using eheese as possible. VVe found this to be quite interesting and three of our girls received a prize of SBI each. namely, Mary Ruth Love, Verle Mesnard, and Dorothy Schumacher. This year our club was represented at the Home Economics Rally Day at Yandalia. Several of our girls took exhibits, and entered the contests. Two of our girls received ribbons in the judging eontest namely. Rosalie Braaseh and lietty Stiee. .- FOODS ULASS I'It"l'l'RE TOP PIt"l'l'RE tlleft to Rightl :-Baek Row: Seyferth, Schumacher. Love.
