'yn awww Jim - F' As that first September Mourn overtook us and our eyes turned to the business of getting down to the books and the making of new friendships, we looked to see what the fall of '39 had in store for us. The answer to our search- ing is represented in this section-a host of extra-curricular activities. Many of these are chronicled in the following pages, but others, though equally im- portant, through the physical limitations of this book, have been omitted. Our divisions serve merely as a means to an end, for a majority of our student activities extend throughout the entire year, and it is only those seasonal athletic and major musical and dramatic productions that can be represented sectionally. Among the clubs to get off to an early start was the Stamp and Coin Club with Bob Thurber wielding the gavel. In addition to a meeting with a group from New Trier, the club had regular auctions at which they skinned bargains from their equally cautious friends. Afternoons also found the Chess and Checker players skillfully competing with each other or with teams from rival schools. The senior members of the Library Club, led by Violet Kaehler, found time to gain practical experience by helping the librarians. Post three o'clock often found Mr. Hughes leaving his physics students to struggle in the lab while he led the Camera hounds with Sam Stevens, their president, out on field trips or into the dark room. This club has given very valuable experience to many photography enthusiasts. They have been able to learn about still and moving pictures by the use of fine equipment and from lectures by interesting professionals. To those who have wondered about the reverberating walls after school, we answer that the blame should be laid on the Forensic and Drama clubs, for when orators and actors give out, the earth quakes around them. Mary Walker and her fellow movie addicts as members of the Cinema Club kept the student body informed regarding the current pictures, while Helene Cas- sidy directed Le Cercle Francais in the presentation of skits in their adopted tongue. Waldena Rathje and her fellow conspirators in the Latin Club climaxed their year in the famous Roman banquet which was staged in the Faculty Dining Room and served in classical fashion to the appropriately dressed guests. Football time brought forth a boon to the between-halves period. A new all-boys' marching band, led by Baton Twirlers Avery and Lindquist made fancy letters on the gridiron, and during the World Series days, the favorite between-period sport was seeing the Yanks win ball games on the scoreboard provided by the I room workers. Our ninth periods, those fleeting moments that begin at 3:05 and end about 5 o'clock, have filled the autumn months with companionship. 17

Prominent figures in the lives of E.T.H.S. students are these three administrative leadersAlVlr. Bacon, Mr. Barnum, and Miss Murphy. Although they are seldom known intimately to many outside the senior class, We are all affected many times by their diligence and ability. They work behind the scenes with their assist- ants in building the reputation that our school has today. We desire this section of our book to be a significant tribute to these friends who have had a large part in our lives at E.T.H.S. 181 FRANCIS LEONARD BACON SUPERINTENDENT-PRINCIPAL l WALTER L.
