AURORA BOREALIS AURORA BOREALIS HISTORY Twelve years ago the class of 11 34 started out to make history and to further advance the honor and glory of Aurora High School. Of the original cln-' we still have: Alfred Blauw, Jack Bowen, Velda Watts and Allan Wit herd. From time to time some dropped out and others came in. In unior High, the class really started in to accomplish things and let the rest of the school know they were a fine class. It was at about that time that the class that we have now became complete to a large extent, although a few entered the class in lower grades and a few in high school. Although a few have dropped out, we still have for the most part the same loyal, hard working class, that we had then. The class as a whole have always supiMirted school activities and taken part in school affairs. In the seventh and eighth grades we made excellent records and showed the rest of the school that we were willing, loyal, and full of j ep. When we were Freshmen we had the largest class in school. We started the year off by defeating the Sophomores in the annual Freshman-Sophomore scrap. We also had a large number of the class taking part in athletics, plays, the minstrel show and other activities. We also gave a radio as a memorial, to the school, in our sophomore year we had the privilege of starting in the new William Smith High School. So we took advantage of the fine building and excellent equipment and also had another very successful year. With the Junior year came a few new faces, a few missing, but still the same class with the same old pep. The Junior Play, the Junior-Senior Prom and the miniature Annual were the outstanding events of the year. We also kept up our scholastic records and had a large number of boys participating in athletics. In our Senior year, our highest and best, we really attained more and accomplished more than any other year. With Miss Gladys Martin as our sponsor we gave a Senior Play, won the basketball tournament, the interclass track meet and carried many other honors. The Senior class also has five members of the National Honor Society: Harold Bowman, who is pres- ident of his class and president of the Student Council; Mary Jeanne Moffitt, who is Head Girl; Alfred Blauw, William Fowler and Christina Rouse. The Seniors also had a large number of men on the football team, and the basketball team was completely made up of Seniors, with one exception. The one great sorrow that the class has had, is the loss of two of their most respected and honored class mates: Charles Van Sickle and Delmar Fry. But as we look back over the last twelve years, we feel that though we have had some misfortunes and have been disappointed in some things, the Joys of our school days far out-number the bad, and we feel that they have been among the happiest ones we will ever have.

AURORA BOREALIS PROPHECy I returned to Aurora after being away on a trip for ten years, hoping to find trace of some of the graduates of ’34. After 1 got off the train, I signaled a taxi-cab, and, whose driver proved t � U Franklin Bessert. I told him to take me to the best hotel, at w’hicli I found Harold Bowman, hotel manager, and Lola Ruth Witherel, hotel clerk. Lola Ituth said she had to make a living while Allan lay around the house taking life easy, Harold said he would show me to my room, since all ten hell-hoys were out at lunch. When we got into the elevator, whom do you suppose I saw as elevator- boy? Nobody else hut Philip Kirkegaurd, half asleep. 1 asked Hurold to tell me about some of the members of the graduating class of ’34. He told me that Ralph Henderson was Superintendent, and Janice Kloppel head nurse of the new hospital in Aurora. Victor McVey had married Gladys Moxley, and they are running a farm east of Aurora. Norman Peterson was president of Aurora's largest hank. Velda Watts was conducting a school for dancing and Geneva Reed was her assistant. Mary Jeanne Moffitt was in Europe studying music. William Fowler was a preacher in a church at Aurora I was informed. I asked Harold when he left if he would have the Aurora DEMOCRAT NEWS, one of the lurgest papers in the United States, sent up to me. Ralph Bond, still a pai� er boy, brought it up to me. He told me that June Elliott wus the editor-in-chief. The head lines that first met my eyes were: “Frank Camilla elected Mayor of Aurora.” I also read: “Pie Eating Marathon Still in Progress; Clarence Stafford is Hugh Favorite With Marathon Fans.” Looking at the sorting page, I found that Kenneth Brown was an All-American basketball star. When I got through looking at the paper I thought it was time to g t something to eat. I went down to the hotel dining-room. Somebody came over to wait on me, and looking tip. I saw Mnbelle Ixtrenson. After talking with Mabelle a few moments. I learned that Lawrence Hafer was manager of the hotel dining-room. On my way hack to the hotel I stopped at a fruit stand, and I recognized Elijah Keith in the man who came to wait on me. After I left Maxine Brown’s beauty shop I thought I would go to a show. 1 found another member of the class of '34, Christina Rouse, selling tickets. She told me that Lewis Pease owned the show and that Nina and he were happily married. Christina also told me that a very famous actress was here in person whom I might remember as the best actress in William Smith High School: Thelma Martin. After the show I went hack to the hotel. I thought I would go and visit William Smith High the next day before 1 left. When I got back to the hotel 1 tuned in on the last of a bed-time story. When it was over, the announcer said: “You have just listened to the famous bed-time story tiller, Carl Lipner.” The next morning 1 got up and went to visit William Smith High School where I hoped to find some of the other four members that I have not seen or heard about. Six other buildings had been added to the original building and they covered two blocks. As I went into one of the buildings, the first person I ran on to was a janitor. I stopped him to ask about the place and it proved to be Jack Bowen who had become head janitor at William Smith. He showed me into the girls’ gym where I found Bertha Rouse instructing the girls In basketball. Bertha said that Earl McCowan was head Coach for the boys and that Alfred Blauw was the Chemistry teaehar. I was so glad 1 was successful in finding or hearing about wRat all the members of the Class of '34 were doing and that they were all prosperous and happy.

C 7: o 7C w O 7Z m AURORA BOREALIS OUR SOCIAL EVENTS 1833 nnd ’34! Shall wo over forget that year? Remember all those good times at parties, dansec, and The PROM? Remember the first party of the year? The Seniors (how we’ll miss them nil!) gave it on October 27. It was a Hallowe’en party and dance afterward. Everyone in school was invited. Masking was optional with the guests. The gymnasium was decorated in the fall motive, including PUMPKINS (the pumpkins were pretty though weren’t they?) It was well attended and everyone had a “swell” time. The cosumes were well chosen, and prizes were awarded for the best and funniest. Those who didn't dance, played cards. The Pep Club, our newest dub, gave the football boys a banquet on the night of November 14. The girls of the club served roast pork with potatoes and gravy. After the dinner, which was enjoyed by all, there were several talks and other entertainment. Then the tables were cleared away and everyone danced. Who doesn’t love to dance with a Football Hero? The “A” Club gave their annual Father and Ron party on the 20th of November. Everyone had a GRAND time. There was boxing, wrestling, tumbling, musical numbers, nnd a basketball game between the high school and the alumni. Sandwiches, cake, and coffee were served. The evening was climaxed by free throw contest for both men and hoys. Prizes were given. The Juniors gave a dance after their play, which went over wdll. If you will ask what happened on the night of December 8. you will receive this answer, “Oh, the Juniors gave a swell play, nnd I had a GRAND time at the dance!” On April 7, the Pep Club gave a banquet in honor of the basketball players, at the r quest of Coach Day The Pep Club gave a drill and each girl made a sjieech about ea-h player. Coach Day presided as toast-master, calling on several of the squad to tell of some exciting experiencs which had happned to them during the basketball season. Coach Day called on some boys whom he expo -ts next year to be on the first squad. The following graduating pic vers made speeches: Kenny Brown. Allan Witherel. Frank Candlln. F.arl McCowan. and Harold Bowman. Do red nnd blue bandanas remind yon of anything? Of course they do! The “Last Round-Up” Prom! The Sophomores were invited, and instead of a Junior-Senior prom we had an All-High School prom. It was given in ■honor of the Seniors, and it was indeed a Last Round-Up of the students (pardon me while I wipe away a tear.)
