If your sides are still aching it is because you were at the Big Broadcast sponsored by thc debate class. The Langan sound system was used and many of our favorites were presented, The one I liked the most was Bing Crosby. I still think they should put that exhibition in the museum to be preserved. The Latin Club banquet was held today. April 28. I heard that Freeport was especially honored again today. jack West, a local tenor, was awarded the title of first in the nation in that group of singers at the national contest held at Grand Rapids, Michigan. May 1. Our Fair visitors have become book conscious. Led by representative leaders, the classes challenged each other to see who could enrich the library by un' earthing the greatest number of books. May 2. Soldiers' Field was again the scene of action as the crowds watch the Freeportfllockford track meet. May 3. Our 1933 Fair has developed a group of debaf ters with power enough to win third place in thc state. May 6. Who has the apple? Wlhy, Eve, of course. The juniors upheld the school traditions by presenting most successfully Adam and Eva. May 8. More developments! Bill Burt is ranked fourth 111 the nation in cxtemporaneous speaking. Nlay IO. The 1933 Fair girls of the Freeport High School exhibited their abilities with a special show The Flattering Word. The juniors won the Book Drive by contributing 4,523 out of the 15,588 volumes turned In. May 18. The beautiful choral effects of the May Festi' val caused us to forget that soon the Fair will end. May 25. The youngest exhibitors got ambitious enough to present the Freshmen play. It was much appreciated by the older visitors. june 4. Reverend Engelmann talked to the Seniors at a Baccalaureate service, and the Capella Choir added to the impressiveness of the occasion. june 5f6f7. The critical eyes of the administrators are scrutinizing the efforts of the Seniors. Have they failed or succeeded in their efforts to make the Fair an out' standing event? june 5. Cup Day.

There is of a nothing left now except a long, beautiful memory.

What is more enlightening is the fact that West Aurora beat East High in their contest and this gives Freeport the undisputed title of the Big Six.

Two 60fword certificates were awarded to Shorthand II students. Nice work, girls. March 15. The Latin Club held a program honoring Caesar. and I gucss they had a swell time doing it. From the Music Exhibit I heard a great deal of buzzing today, and I found out that it was because they were selecting the chorus for the Pirates of Penzance. Also from the Language Exhibit I got news that there was another election of the Philos with 13 pledges agreeing to take up the good work. March 17. Are you aewearing the green today? You must remember that this is St. Patrick's Day. The Cafeteria served a special Irish luncheon. March 21. The negative team met the Hinkley team today in the Music Room. I hear that our boys had a good time debating them and that they came out on top with a large margin of points. This was the first contest in the State League contests.

I also learned from the athletic headquarters that the athletes are planning their annual banquet, and the guest speaker is to be Dick Hanley from Northwestern. April 24. I received notice that the students have ref turned from their Commercial contest at Dixon. Freeport received special honors in the 90 and 120fword contests with Savina Hillmer taking first in the 90 and Pauline Frank first in the 120. From our dramatic and oratorical headquarters I learned that Helen Finley, Reed Alex- ander, and Homer Ogle attended the contests held at DeKalb placing third in the dramatic reading, third in the original oratory, and fourth in the standard oratory, respectively. April 26. Today yours truly had the lead in a play presented to the French Club. This play was in the French language, and much to my disgust I forgot a cue. Blame it on the langwage.

I was wonderng what all the green plants were doing at the water fountain. Upon peering closer I found that they were the new release of freshmen from junior High. I attributed the use of the water fountains to the fact that all green things need water. Page One Hundred Eighteen February 22. Vacation, no gore, how sore. February 23. The Dramatic Students presented a clever play in the Music Room today, and I hear that the students are still aghast at the wonderful acting done by june Pellet and Paul DeNure. February 24. The debaters had a frolic with Kewanee today. I hear that they had a clever case, but the case of the Freeport teams had one more bottle than theirs. The group photography for the annual is begun today and I have to endure Mensie's timefworn joke about having the mug shot. February 28. There hasn't been much doing about the Fair Grounds for quite a time. I heard from Kloos that the basketball teams have a chance for the conference title if they can beat Rockford in the last game. March 1. The Mask and Wig gave a Colonial program today. I was inspired by seeing the last word in fashions at the Nifty Shop presented by the students under Miss Weyer.

These are some of the groans and moans I heard after the brief lapse of our Fair caused by the fact that Thanksgiving was here once more. November 28. I was quite busy today preparing for the one and only senior play to be given tonight at the Masonic Temple. The play, The Seven Keys to Bald- pate, was very well accepted by a large audience. Reed Alexander and Ruth Ryan put on a swell final clinch much to Ginny's disgust. November 28. The assembly advertising the senior play was held. I sold three tickets to some of the freshmen, so if you see me battered up tomorrow you'll know why. The characters of the play were introduced by a bunch of snappy chorus girls. December 5. I noticed that today many of the boys are looking kind of battered up. This is because that they were admitted into the HifY Club Exhibit. There were 15 of the boys so induced. December 6. The inquiring reporter informed me that Page One Hundred Sixteen December 23. I was cheered up tonight by the fact that our team came through against Elgin in a double header. Earlier in the day, I was forced to hold my sides when Bill Healy presented Mensie new material for his quibs in the form of a book called Still More Boners. I was also elated by the fact that there is no Fair business to be held until the New Year. December 25. Merry Christmas! December 30. At the Stadium, Freeport obtained ref venge for the 50-9 defeat which they suffered last year at the hands of Beloit. The revenge amounted to 25f25. Boy, did our team look good! january 1. Happy New Year! january 4. I heard indirectly that R. Hunter gave to the Latin Club Exhibit an interesting talk on Italy. It seems to me that I heard it mentioned that Bill Burt made a timely remark on how travel broadens the Latin mind. S. S. KRESCE CO. Two Stores to Serve You McCALL'S Beauty Salon 123 So.

Student who visited the Cen tury of Progress, 1933, held in the Freeport High School. This diary is very personal, and any person who is not indiscreet should never lay his eyes upon it. All of you are now duly warned, so I presume under this warning that it will be left unread. But for the few who admit that they are indiscreet, I present my following account of Freeport High School's Century of Progress September 8.

The mob took little heed of the fact that little A.

It was in the form of five colored gentlemen called The Utica jubilee Singers. The biggest thrill was to hear them sing, Ain't it a shame to kiss your girl on Sunday, when you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri' day, and Saturday? September 22. There was a terrible accident this morn' ing. All the products in the Dairy Exhibit turned sour. An inquiring reporter fMrs. Winchell's little boy, Walterl informed me that it was because 268 people had signed up for vocal training. Page One Hundred Fourteen ,, A ,f October 22. At the Big Six press meet held at Joliet, Freeport had six representatives. You can tell our' representatives by the smudges of printer's ink on their 1olly faces. October 24. This was the day for the annual senior class presidential election. The latest returns indicate that Everett Laughlin will receive the chair. fNot an electric one.J October 27. This was a day of hurrying and scurrying for all seniors. The movie The Light of the World was given at the local entertainment center, the Masonic Temple. A good time was had by all while waiting for the movie to arrive. f s 4 1 l,1.,:,,1,r1.g5'qggg1,:. - 1 l THE 1932 JUNIORSENIOR PROM Wheii the guests arrived at the gym at 6:30 they found a beautiful moon-lit garden with a gate and flowers, and even stars. A novel feature was the serving of supper at small tables decorated with black and silver and set around the dance floor, producing a lovely effect. At 6:45 the invocation was given by Father E. V. Kennan of the Grace Episcopal Church. Wliile the guests were enjoying a delicious supper, Everett Laughlin welcomed the Seniors and Robert Schmelzle responded. Members of the Senior and Junior classes then gave interesting toasts-Ernestine Dobler, Lawrence Lawyer, and Jeanne Morton spoke on Planting, Cultivation, and Buds in the Garden of Life. The t02lStS concerned Senior leaders, girls' activities, and boys' activities and were treated with refreshing originality. A comedy skit Sunflowers was presented by a Junior and a Senior, Robert Kerch and Leo Bach. An interesting and varied program was given by the members of the music classes including chorus numbers, a selection from last year's operetta The Firefly and selections from The Vagabond King. Credit for the planning and serving of the supper and for the eflicient manage' ment was due to Miss Edna Miller and Miss Kathryn Babcock of the Home Economics Department. Until 11:30 the guests enjoyed dancing under the moon which looked quite realg the music was furnished by Hoffman's orchestra. Altogether this was the outstanding social event of the year and one which will be long remembered by all who attended. Page One Hundred 'Thirteen Page One Hundred 'Twelve X-xv.

Their exhibit is not very large as yet, but in three more years we expect that all space will be filled by these enterprising youngsters. At iirst they all felt very small and timid and were very much awed by their superiors, but as this feeling wore off they got the inspiration to achieve something worth while. They felt very honored when they were asked to join the different activities of the school, and they have started this year, their endeavors in music by providing both band and orchestra with musicians, and a small group have formed a German Band consisting of two clarinet players, Robert Erwin and Jack Healyg Justin Boyington, cornetg Jack Rhodes, bass horng and Earl Kryder, aritone. The night before the annual RockfordfPretzel clash the Freshmen sponsored a float in the parade, depicting the forth-coming defeat of the Rabs in the form of a neat tombstone efligy. They have gone still further in their progress by electing capable and efficient class officers: Milo Adleman, president, Lloyd Bolt, vicefpresidentg and Jean Weber, secref tary-treasurer. The Freshmen B's oflicers were: president, Kenneth Stein, vicefpresident, Bill Peterson, secretaryftreasurer, Emerson Kahly. They elected Miss Nelson as their sponsor. l KENNETH STEIN BILL PETERSON EMERSON lim' f' ! Page ne undrecl href: I to . CLASS OF 1936 OME of the people who go to the Fair will remain for a long time, and so become almost a part of the Fair itself. These people are learning things constantly, and becoming better and better acquainted with their surroundings. The freshmen are newcomers to the school, but every day they are proving themselves better able to handle the affairs some day to be entrusted to them. FRESHMEN .1 A Q f A5M1,Q QOWl,,? X?

During their Freshman year, they were the first class to use a class play other than Treasure Island -namely, Elmer, starring Oscar Ennenga and Virginia Kutchback. They successfully sponsored a movie at the Lindo Theatre, through the courtesy of Mr. Dittman. This year, they have proved themselves outstanding in sports, having William Kerlin, Lewis Kerlin, and Harry Kinert in their class out for football, Kinert in basket' ballg and many out for track. Many are members of the Band or Orchestra and the able assistance given in The Pirates of Penzance was much appreciated. In the Oratorical Contest, an annual event in Sophomore activities, Robert Pash, Homer Ogle, and Karl Smoyer placed highest. Likewise a Sophomore Reading Contest was sponf sored for the girls. The class of 1935 also helped make the Annual Book Drive a grand success. They were led through the successful year by Doris Schmelzle, presidentg William Kerlin, vice'presidentg and Jack Hepner, secretaryftreasurer, and were ably advised by Mr. Hoff. The Sophomores have been found to be ahead in our activities and judging by their past record, they should be one of the most successful classes ever to graduate from Freeport High School. Page Ninetyseuen CLASS OF 1935 HE high school, like the World's Fair, is complex and confusing to those who are unaequainted with it. In Chicago this summer, there will he guides to show strangers around the grounds and explain the expositions to them. They get across to the newcomers the ideas which the leaders have set forth, Thus the Sophomores form a. link between the upperclassmen and the Freshmen, and promote understanding between them.

Ninetyftwo i DAVE DUPEE Wiraua PoPP MAYME Fowuin THE JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The Class of '34 couldn't boast of A Century of Progress, but it could exhibit with pride its three years of progress in Freeport High School. This class came into the school as dumb and as small in stature as any other bunch of freshies. But the members of this class later proved that they weren't quite as dumb as they looked. Let us go over some of the exhibits of '34's Three Years of Progress and see just exactly what they have accomplished. In exhibit A we found the Juniors successfully sponsoring their annual Junior Prom which was afterwards spoken of as being one of the most delightful events of the school year. Strolling farther back into the past we saw Dave Dupee and Rachel Schoenhardt cleverly taking the leads in the junior Play, Adam and Eva, and being well supported by an excellent cast of Juniors. However, those who sold tickets and served on com' mittees deserved a great part of the credit because without them this play would have been impossible. The sports department of '34's Three Years of Progress was upheld by the feats ffeets?j of its many lettermen. Those Juniors who exhibited the muchfsoughtffor pieces of felt were: Dave Dupee, Elmer Hildebrandt, Bill Keister, Wilbur Popp, Stanley Schumacher, Pete Griifo, Harry Rust, Fritz Keith, Emmanuel Georgalas, Howard Kracht, Calvin Miley, Wilbur Brubaker, Thaddeus Bookman, Kenneth Downs, Roland Volkers, Jack Clark, Nick Petta, Russ Spencer, and Fred Baebler. As we neared the next exhibit we were fairly drenched in a torrent of words and held spellbound by their booming forcefulness. The oratorical ability of the Class of '34 was first made apparent in the Sophomore Oratorical Contest of which John Bruce was the winner. This excellent work was later carried on by the Junior debaters, Steinmetz, Davis, Healy, and Peterson. The literary progress of the class was shown by the fact that Margaret Bingham and Dorothy James were entered into Quill and Scroll. Although the Juniors did very well in their Three Years of Progress it was only a part of their fourfyear plan and you can bet that they'll be going places in their Senior year. This year the class officers were: Dave Dupee, president, Wilbur Popp, vicefpresidentg and Mayme Fowler, secretaryftreasurer. Miss Musser was the capable class sponsor. Page Ninetyfone CLASS OF 1934 LL the work can not be done by the leaders in an undertaking. There must be someone second in command, who takes part of the responsibility and is prepared to assume leadership when it is necessary. This person must be intelligent, ambitious, and progressive. The class of 1934 has these qualities, if we can judge by its past record, and so we feel confident that we are leaving the leadership in competent hands.

Evsmarr LAUGHLIN DONALD SMITH ROBERT BREW THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY just as the World's Fair records the progress of the nations during a certain period of years, so does this annual list the achievements of the class of '33 during its four years in Freeport High School. In '29 they entered school, the usual timid class of Freshmen. However, they soon started to flourish in their new surroundings, many enrolled in band, orchestra, and chorus, while athletics interested some of the boys, Treasure Island, the Freshman class play, brought out hidden dramatic talent that have been fostered and polished through the years. The most important event of the Sophomore year was the Sophomore Oratorical Contest which was won by Reed Alexander. During their Junior year the class attained a new school consciousness. They successfully presented The Dud which starred Ruth Wallace and Everett Laughlin. Then the Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, Mask and Wig, Lettermen's Club, and other honorary organizations began to choose members from their ranks, and The junior Prom was afterwards spoken of as the most successful project of the year. The Senior year began officially with the election of Everett Laughlin, Donald Smith, and Robert Brew as class ofhcers and Mr. Crawford as adviser. Many boys earned letters for football: Abate, Bauscher, Boos, Bicker, Coon, Gage, Guentherman, Jones, Kasch, Mercier, Neidigh, Reed, Regez, Scott, Smith, Shepard, Schirmer, and Walters. For the first time in the history of the school, the student body staged a home- coming celebration during the week before the Freeport-Rockford football game. Reed Alexander, Virginia Clark, and Ruth Ryan played the leading roles in Seven Keys to Baldpatef' our play. The Pirates of Penzance, a colorful light opera, starred Lucille Lutz and Robert Brew. The basketball team won the championship of the Big Six and carried off the district trophy. Those Seniors who received letters were: Baebler, Boos, Dawson, Jones, Laughlin, Popp, Resh, and Schramm. Robert Artman, William Burt, Roy Clough, Lowell Jeffrey, and Everett Laughlin were on the champion debate team. The last project was the production of this yearbook, published solely under student supervision. At the close of the World's Fair, the representatives will return to their native lands. Thus when the class of '33 is graduated, all will follow their own particular pathways, and their school years, the most joyful period in their lives, will be but a memory. Yet' the beautiful friendships, the knowledge gained, and the splendid spirit of cofoperation which they gained during their stay in Freeport High School, will linger with them through the advancing years. Page Sixtyfscvcn CLASS OF 1933 N any great project, there has to be some person, or group of people, who direct thingsffwho do a great deal of the work and take much of the responsibility. This is the part of the Seniors in the high school, as it is of the leaders of the World's Fair. This class has taken a leading part in all activities, and has done, throughout its four years, all in its power to aid in the continued success and improvement of the school.

This year the band was honored by being chosen as host to the Northwestern Illinois District Band Contest at which sixteen bands competed on March 31 and April 1. The band, besides winning first place for the fourth time and tieing for first in sight reading, made a very fine showing in solo and ensemble work. The organization then made the trip to Urbana, Illinois, to participate in the state band contest on April 28 and 30. In addition to winning first place in concert playing and sight reading, band members received live first places in the solo and ensemble contests. These soloists were chosen to represent the band at the national contest in Evanston. Marilyn Slieetz, piccolog Wzilter Seeman, cornetg Barbara Trueblood, flute, jerold Richards, clarinet, Karl Smoyer, oboe, Iviargarcta Brockmeier, piano, Francis Dickenson, bass tuba, and Chester Werntz, drums, entered the solo contest in the state rneet. There were also four ensembles entered: the flute trio made up of Barbara Trueblood, Barbara Burrell, and Marilyii Sheetzg the reed quartet presenting Tom Carroll and Katherine Wheat, clarinetsg Harold Deily, alto clarinet, and Clifford Staben, bass clarinet. The saxophone clarinet ensemble presented Robert Decklar and Paul Noeske, altos, John Kutchback, baritone, and Frederick Brady, bass. The brass quartet presented Wziltei' Seeman, Lester Weriitz, and Karl Schramm, cornets, and Lawrence Kaney, trombone. Robert Engle and john Propp played horns. All of the soloists and ensembles were highly complimented on their line work. As the climax to its successful season, the band played its annual concert at the Ivlasonic Temple on May 19, presenting a variety program. The band received many encores and was highly complimented upon its tone and technique. Besides the very successful year of concert and contest playing, the band was present at all the home football and basketball games and played for the sectional basketball tournament. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Kubitz for his fine work with the band. Page Fiftyfjivc xiii' 'L77 1' .

Page Fiftyfthree THE PIRATES OE PENZANCEP This delightful comic opera written by the cofauthors Gilbert and Sullivan was presented by the vocal music department on the evening of April 7th in the Consistory Auditorium. The curtain rose for the first act on a rocky seashore somewhere on the coast of England. Frederic, our hero fRobert Brewj, had reached his twentyffirst birth' day and was free to leave his indenture among the Pirates of Penzance led by their King fRobert Kerchj and his Lieutenant Samuel Uack Westj. Ruth fVirginia Glarkj, his faithful nurse of fortyfseven years, begged him to take her with him. Frederic was on the verge of accepting her plea when he caught sight of a bevy of beautiful girls and realized that Ruth was not beautiful. Sending Ruth away to the Pirates, Frederic appealed to the lovely strangers to take pity on him, but only one, General Stanley's youngest daughter Mable fLucille Lutzl did so, and offered him her heart. Suddenly from all sides the Pirates poured upon the scene and rejoicing in their opportunity to get married with impunity, each one claimed a frightened girl. To the relief of the flustered duennas Miss Arthusa fMuriel Putnam, and Miss Penelope fLois Schroederj, the Major General Stanley fPaul Mohrj appeared and persuaded the Pirates to take pity on an orphan boy and restore to him his wards and his loving daughters Kate fPhyllis Hoffmanj, Edith fHelen Howej, Isabel fRuth Ryanj, and Mable. The curtain rose on the second act revealing the old General surrounded by his weeping children. His remorse for the terrible story which he had told the Pirates was forgotten soon when the gallant Sergant of Police fClifford Stabenj paraded his staunch men and announced his campaign against the Pirates. Frederic, preparing to go with them, was suddenly encountered by Ruth and the Pirate King who told him that since he was born on the twenty'-ninth of February he had reached only his fifth birth' day and was yet an apprentice to the Pirates. So Frederic, a slave of duty, returned to the pirates, went with them to the Gen' eral's home, and fought with them against the police. The victorious Pirates yielded, however, when the police mentioned Queen Mary's name for after all with all their faults they loved their Queen. At last Frederic was free to marry Mable following the restoration of the Pirates into polite society, and the other girls were willing indeed to give their hearts into the keeping of the other Pirates.

TREBLE CLEF Another year of achievement under the capable direction of Miss Margaret Weyer has been added to the record of the Treble Clef. This organization consisted of girls selected from junior organizations of the music department, the Treble Clef B and Chorus, for their musical talent and singing ability. In conjunction with the other vocal classes of the school they gave a successful Thanksgiving program before the school assembly. Later this same program was broad- casted over the local station KFLV. The annual Christmas Cantata given in the Consistory Auditorium was also a Htting tribute to the girls' musical training. As a special project the Nifty Shop, a clever onefact operetta, was presented before the King's Daughters at the I.0.0.F. Hall and later before the high school assembly. On April 7, the girls played an important part in contributing to the success of the comic opera, The Pirates of Penzance. Along with polished singing, the finished production required the cofoperation of every member of the chorus. In the annual May Festival held at the end of May in the Consistory Auditorium, the entire vocal department offered a program of many difficult modern selections, both religious and secular. Treble Clcf A contributed to a large extent to the success of the presentation. Helen Howe and Virginia Clark were sent as delegates to represent our school at the National Chorus Convention held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, during May. Throughout the year the Treble Clef has been ably accompanied by Betty Schaefer. Page Fiftyfone Row l: E. Yeager, H. Mertins, P. Mohr, T. Burdge, West, V. Bokemeier. Row ll: K. Heiclen, W.

Norman GLEE CLUB The Clee Club of fortyfsix voices under the capable direction of Miss Weyer, opened its concert season with the Treble Clef Club in a Thanksgiving program for the assembly. A short time later the club travelled to Galena to render a fine concert at the Galena Opera House. The highflight of the first semester was the Christmas Vesper Services at Embury Church where the Glee Club, with the assistance of the Treble Clef, gave a very fine sacred concert. The climax of the club's successful year was the production of Cilbert and Sullif van's Opera, The Pirates of Penzance at the Masonic Temple on April 7. The Clee Club joined with the Treble Clef and the Voice Classes in making this presentation one of the finest ever given by the club. In addition to their concerts, the Clee Club sang for the May Festival, entertained at the Rotary Club luncheon, and also showed their versatility by broadcasting a light program over the local station. For the voice recitals on February 1 and June 8, twenty members of the club were chosen as soloists. To close the year's activities, the club chose jack West, tenor, and Clifford Staben, bass, to represent the club at the National High School Chorus held at Grand Rapids, Michigan. These singers were highly commended on their ability and were ranked with the finest singers in the chorus. In conclusion it should be said that the Clee Club enjoyed a highly successful year and its concerts for the school were well received by students and the public. Much credit for the success of the club is due Miss Weyer, for under her direction the club was rounded into one of the finest musical organizations in the school.

Page Forty-nine SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATEM Seven Keys to Baldpatef' a clever mystery play by George M. Cohen directed by Miss Rachel Whitfield, proved to be one of the most outstanding presentations of the class of '33. The scene was laid in Baldpate Inn located in lonely New England. Williain Magee, the young novelist fReed Alexanderj, came to Baldpate as the result of a bet with the owner fRobert Kerchj to write a mystery story in twentyffour hours. The Quimbys-Elijah, the caretaker fKenneth Brobstj, his wife fI'Ielen Finleyj, and Tillie, his daughter QEthel Rowlandj, met Magee at the Inn and gave him, supposedly, the only key to Baldpate. But it turned out that there were other keys to this lonely Inn. A gang of crooked politicians: John Bland QGeorge Zahnj, Mayor Cargan QM11 Crawfordl, Lou Max fEverett Laughlinj, Myra Thornhill fVirgina Clarkl, Thomas Hayden fClifford Stabenj, and Peters, the Hermit fRobert Brewj, all made their appearance. Another charming young lady, Mary Norton fRuth Ryanj, accompanied by Mrs. Rhodes fMarjorie Murrayj, a widow, came to write a newspaper report of the bet. Magee fell in love with Mary at first sight. All the people at the Inn, except Mary, were trying to get possession of the money left in the safe by Bland. Magee found himself in a difficult position and things went from bad to worse. Myra Thornhill was shot by Lou Max who tried to put the blame on Magee. Then came the wild search for the body which had the uncanny habit of disappearing, the walking of the ghost, and the attempt of Chief Kennedy fDeno Schirmerj to steal the money which had been lost by Mary Norton and found by the police QEverett Bicker, Robert Artmanj. Then came the surprise. All the crooks turned out not to be crooks, Peters wasn't a hermit, Myra wasn't killed. All were fakes and were part of the joke played on Magee by the owner of the Inn to show how impossible Magee's stories were. As a further surprise we learned that the whole play was a literary attempt of Magee who won his bet and named the story The Seven Keys to Baldpatef' Page Fonyfeiglit let THE DUD PRESENTED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS OF '33 The Dud, a clever comedy in three acts, acclaimed the Harvard Prize Play of 1924, brought to life the spectacular rise of the social wallfflower, Nancy Angeline Van Cuyler Farr QRuth W8llilCCJ from the Dud of the Farr household to the heights of dramatic glory. Miss Dexter QVirginia Rossj, society reporter, and Binner QRobert Kerchj, the colored butler, enlightened the audience at the beginning of the first act on the trend of affairs in the household of Van Cuyler Farr. Nancy Ann's love for drama had been politely ignored by her aunties Emily QRuth Ryanj, Kate fPriscilla Hoeferj, Nancy QRoberta Goembelj, and Angeline QAda Kathryn Swartzj, who had prepared their blue blood niece for a marriage to the socially eligible Mr. Llewylln fWziyi1e Barberj until her sudden disappearance at the reception in her honor. Sidney Brian QEverett Laughlinj, theatrical producer, and Mr. Capper fRoy Cloughj, an unsuccessful playwright, opened the second act with a humorous interview. Dan Dennis QReed Alexanderj, Sidney's rightfhand man, had made many vain attempts to send three rather faded but tireless actresses, Beth Worthiiigtoii Ueanne Mortorij, Lulu Treman fLucille Pricej, and Billy Claridge fVirginia Clarkj on their way, when a hopelessflooking creature fNancy Ann, herselfj, entered the scene. Winning her way into the hardened hearts of the actresses, Nancy Ann after numerous diliiculties, aunts included, won not only a contract from Sidney, but his heart also. jerry O'Connell fDeno Schirmerj, detective, in true policeman fashion was on hand at the opportune moments and the waiter fRobert Artrnanj didn't spill the chocolate frappes.

Its activities have included giving the following plays: The First Dress Suit , Dust of the Road , a morality play, The Valiant , Romances , The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife , and The Flattering Word. These and several excellent interpretative reading recitals given by the beginning dramatics class were presented in the music room. All the directing and staging of these productions was done by the members themselves, with only a minimum of suggestions from Miss Whitfield. Some of the plays were given seventh hour for the student body and proved very popular. At the beginning of each semester, Juniors and Seniors became eligible to compete for membership in this club by presenting proof of their dramatic ability. Monthly meetings were held in the music room and at that time programs based on previous discussions of drama were given. A program committee was responsible for each meet' ing. At Christmas the club entertained the alumni at an unusual party in the cafe- teria. There were many interesting features including clever onefact sketches- On the Park Bench , Pickwick Papers , One Word Play -and several musical numbers. Refreshments and dancing concluded this enjoyable annual affair. In January members of the Mask and Wig participated in onefact plays given before the Woman's Club. The program included Poor Madalenan, unusual because of the fantastic setting, The Wedding Present , and The Mandarin Coat. The president of the club was Everett Laughlin, the vice-president, Ruth Ryan, and the secretary, Priscilla Hoefer. Their peppy leader was Miss Whitfield, who greatly aided them in all their undertakings and to whom they can not give too much credit. . Page Fortysix YW, ,, VQ, f The club was organized in 1926 under the supervision of thc dean of girls, Mrs. Scott. This club has always been the largest in the school since all girls become members of it upon entering school. The girls of the club all work together for the same purpose, that is to help someone else. Our club president and vicefpresident this year were Virginia Clark and Catherine Milfy Leavy. The individual class presidents Were: Barbara Burrell, Betty Schaefer, Phyllis Hoffman, and Helen Woods. 7 , I Page Fortyffvc ' - - -u 1. GIRLS' CLUB Probably the most important activity this organization sponsored during the year was the magazine drive for the purpose of raising funds to help needy girls through high school by buying laboratory materials, books, smaller articles of clothing, and other necessities. An arrangement was made with the publisher that onefhalf of the money taken from subscriptions would go to the Girls' Club fund. An added incentive in this drive was the prize which a girl received for selling a certain number of sub' scriptions. This year help was given to thirty girls. Page Fortyffouv t r Row, I: G.

HIfY This club was organized in 1911 to create, maintain, and extend throughout the high school and community, high standards of Christian living. This has been accom' plished by the twentyffive members this year. The club is a worldfvvide organization with the membership restricted to Junior and Senior boys only. At the opening of school in September, the club started its activities by the annual induction ceremonies for the purpose of admitting the new members. The meetings were held every Wednesf day evening with very interesting programs including talks given by able speakers on subjects pertaining to the club and its purpose. The club cofoperated with various other HifY clubs throughout Northern Illinois in promoting several Older Boys' Conferences. Each year in May the club holds the goodfwill banquet with the Rockford Hi-Y Club. These clubs alternate with Rockford as hosts one year and then Freeport the following year. This year Freeport was host to Rockford at a very successful banquet meeting. The club also held two dances in co'-operation with the Girl Reserves. Later in the year the boys put on a musical variety show the seventh hour for the whole school. This proved to be one of the outstanding performances of the year. At the end of the season the club staged a very successful farewell banquet attended by all its members and alumni. R. Anderson, the head of the Freeport High School Athletic Department, is the sponsor of the club and Mr. Dennis, the boys' secretary of the Y. M. C. A., is the club adviser. The club had very able officers in the persons of Floyd Shepard, president, Harold Daterman, vicefpresidentg and David Dupee, secretaryftreasurer.

Membership was open to any girl who had taken at least one semester of foods or clothing with an average of eighty-f1ve or more. These girls were endeavoring all year to raise the standards of scholarshipg to promote democracy in the school, to develop team work, friendship, and leadership, and to stimulate interest in hobbies and in the wise use of leisure. Approximately fifty members enjoyed the programs and parties. To encourage members to participate in the activities, pins were given to those girls who earned a certain number of points. Jane Bilger and Lois Coon were the only girls who received pins this year. Of course everyone knows that a club cannot progress smoothly and rapidly with- out a helpful adviser, so the members chose Miss Lyle. The officers elected for the term were: president, Jane Bilgerg vice'president, Lois Coon, and secretaryftreasurer, Arlieth Mensenkamp. This club met the second Monday of each month. At the January meeting, new members were cordially welcomed into the club. Several girls gave very useful and interesting talks on Penny Wise which was the topic of the February meeting. In March every girl enjoyed the talk given by a specialist on health and beauty. The April meeting, which was somewhat different and unusual, was a movie. The activities for the year ended in May when there was a play and a picnic to which the members had looked forward the whole year. W Page Fortyftwo Row I: H. Ogle, B. Healy, N. Steinmetz, I. Davis.

FORENSICS For the third consecutive year Freeport maintained its reputation in Forensics for placing not lower than third in the state of Illinois. In three years Freeport has placed first in the state once and third twice. The main achievements of the current season were: the winning of the Big Six debate championship for the second consecutive year fsweeping the 1933 tournament with the remarkable record of nine victories and one defeatj, the winning of the penant in the subfdistrict of the state league for the third consecutive year, and the winning of third place in the finals of the state debate league. The members of the champion teams brought much credit to the school and to them' selves. Lowell Jeffrey, William Healy and Everett Laughlin fteam leader, upheld the affirmative of the national debate question, and Robert Artman, Roy Clough, Nuell Steinmetz, and William Burt fteam leaderj represented the negative. In extemporaneous speaking, William Burt, who last year won the Big Six ex' tempore speaking title, added the state championship to his laurels this year by winning the state contest at Northwestern University. Bill also won the highest honor a high school speaker can win, earning more points in interscholastic speech contests than any other high school student in the United States, according to the National Forensic League's rating system. Reed Alexander placed fourth in the state contest at Northwestern University and third at the Northern Illinois district contest at DeKalb. Homer Ogle placed third in the state contest in oratorical declamation while Helen Finley placed fourth in dramatf ical declamation. In the annual sophomore contest, Robert Pash placed first, Homer Ogle second, and Karl Smoyer, third. These speakers worked under the direction of Mr. Crawford while Helen Finley was trained by Miss Whitfield. Page Fortyone Row I: C. M. Leavy, M. Bingham, D. -larnes. Row II: A. Bowers, R. Ryan, M.

QUILL AND SCRCLL Although the Quill and Scroll activities were of a different sort from last year's work because of no official high school publication, the members of the Freeport chapter found plenty to do in assisting the various class plays, musical productions, and drives by extensive advertising campaigns. During this year the Quill and Scroll tried to play the part of a service club with small thought to selfish interests, and some of the club members assisted in the publicity for Adam and Evaf' Seven Keys to Baldpateu and The Pirates of Penzance. As the Quill and Scroll is the highest honor awarded to high school journalists, all students interested in journalism or creative writing strive to attain its ranks. To be a member one must meet the following requirements: be at least of Junior standing, be in the upper third of one's class in general scholastic standing, have done superior work in some phase of journalistic or creative fields, be recommended by the school super' visor of publications, and approved by the national secretaryftreasurer. Plays, debates, band, football and basketball-all had their share of publicity and advertisement. Members have also kept up their work by taking the various Quill and Scroll tests sent out by the central organization. Creative work of different types, es' says, poetry, or short stories, was entered by members in the scholastic contests. Five students, Catherine Mary lieavy, Alice Bowers, Ruth Ryan, Margaret Bing' ham, and Dorothy james, passed the entrance requirements this year and were ac' cepted by the international secretary, George H. Gallup. They were initiated into the club, swelling the ranks to ten. The club sponsor was Miss Musser and James Hill was president, Priscilla Hoefer, vicefpresident, and Marjorie Murray, secretaryftreasurer.

The fifty club members endeavored to do this by conforming to the purpose of the club, to ind and give the best. This year the activities based on this purpose were concerned mainly with the wise use of leisure time. Meetings were held every XVednesday evening at the Y. W. G.A. and the girls were given the use of the entire house at this high school' night. Each first and third Wednesday in the month was known as amusement night. Some of the girls formed bowling and ping pong teams, while others played cards, danced, or worked on crafts. The business meetings were held on the second and fourth Wednesf days in the month. The different committees this year had some enjoyable parties and entertainments for the members. A very interesting talk on beauty was given by Miss Lois Chitty at one of the Hrst meetings. The club also tried to help the community by contributing to the poor at Christmas time. A party was given for the members and admission was some article of food which was later given to the needy. In March a pot luck supper followed by a puppet show, Hansel and Gretel' was given. Mr. Armstrong presented a very interesting chalk talk at one of the other meetings. During Lent Mrs. Neuberger talked to the girls about ireligion and lent. In May a very lovely banquet was given for all the girls and their mothers. The Hi-G. R. owed its very successful year to the ambition and encouragement given by its adviser, Miss Spencer, and its officers, Geraldine Grant, president, Phyllis Hoffman, vice-president, and Anna Mae Moren, secretaryftreasurer.

PHILOMATHIANS This year saw many new ideas incorporated into the Philomathians, the honorary literary society for Senior girls. The club really lived up to its name and became a true honorary society by raising the admittance average of former years. To have become a member this year, one must have had an average of 90 in English, and at least 85 in all other subjects. The smaller club and high standards made for a group unified in their interest in literary persuits. The raising of grades was not the only innovation. This year saw the introduction of the pledge system, whereby a junior, provided she met the entrance requirements, was pledged in the second semester. A pledge could attend all meetings, in fact her attendance was compulsory, but she could not vote on any business. If a pledge did not keep her scholastic rating up to average, she forfeited her membership. All pledges were initiated and given the oath in March at a tea, at which time they were enter- tained by the talent of the club and a program of music by the Clark trio. As the aim of the club was to further interest in literature, many of the meetings were given over to the study of the lives and works of many American authors and poets, with special attention given to the Illinois poets. Creative work by the members was sponsored and encouraged by the club, and many members read their original writings at meetings. Music furnished by the talented members also did much towards making the social meetings extremely enjoyable. In the late spring a onefact play was very successfully presented in the Music Room. The annual banquet given just before school closed will long be remembered as a very delightful occasion. Much of the credit for the success of the year was due to the help and advice of Miss Card, the adviser. The officers for the year were: president, Ruth Ryan, vice' president, Barbara Burrell, secretary, Mary Bucherg treasurer, Catherine Mary Leavy. Page 'Thirtyfeight .,f V--4.1. ,W A-.,. ROW I: I.

POLARIS STAFF One of the finest and happiest periods in the lives of the members of the class of '3 3, four years that meant much to us, has come to a close. During this time we have become closely associated with Freeport High School, and are taking with us pleasant memories of the past which we have tried to enter in this book in order to keep a lasting memory of these unforgetable years. Graduating in the same year as the great fair held in Chicago, we felt that the theme A Century of Progress would best exemplify our school life. The Science Hall-a stately institution representing a new phase of modern life, we thought was comparable to the student body already making its influence felt in the community. The newer ideas in education, student life and activities, were best repref sented by the newer ideas in Travel and Transport, and in the faculty we found the strong central unit of organization also found in the Administration Building. The Polaris of 1933 was the production of the senior class and not the work of the staff alone. The whole class worked together and gave its assistance willingly wherever it was needed. The carnival for the benefit of the Polaris was an unusually successful project due to the cooperative abilities of our class. Of course, individual members were responsible for certain features of the book. The art staff worked hard to portray the difficult theme fittingly with pencil and brush while the advertising staff, the business staff, the circulation staff, and the editors all worked especially hard to bring this book out on time despite the late start. Much credit is given to Mr. Kloos, the financial adviser who helped us through all our financial difficulties, and to Miss Teske who also worked wholefheartedly with us. Page 'fliirtyseven 4 Row I.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Membership to National Honor Society is the greatest honor which the school bestows upon students in their Junior and Senior years. This was the tenth year of this organization in Freeport High School. The society attempts to create enthusiasm for better grades, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop the character of the student. The emblem is a keystone with a flowing torch symbolic of the value of strong foundation through education. The keystone bears the letters S, L, C, and S, which stand for the four principles of the organization. Elections were held at three different times, once during the Junior year and twice during the Senior year by a faculty committee. Four points were considered in choosing members: Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. The main activity of the Honor Society was the sponsoring of the annual book drive. This year the drive was a great success, and many choice volumes were conf tributed to the library as well as some new ones purchased by the sale of unusable books. A banquet given in May culminated activities of this group. Speeches by Seniors, Juniors, and faculty members constituted the program. A great deal of appreciation for the success of this organization is due Mr. Men' senkamp, our faculty adviser. The officers for this year were Bill Burt, president, Priscilla Hoefer, vice-president, and James Hill, secretary, Mr. Mensenkamp, treasurer.

A club of especial interest in Freeport High is the Spanish Club, composed this year of sixty members. The oihcers of the club are: Wayne Barber, president, Eleanor Hettinger, vicefpresidentg and Charles Balz, secretaryftreasurer. Under the enthusiastic and capable leadership of Miss Schmidt and the entertainment committee, the organ' ization spent a very profitable year in providing programs of educational value at its meetings. These activities were not only valuable to Spanish students, but recreational as well. One of the iirst activities was the decoration of an attractive float A Spanish Courtship which the judges deemed worthy of second prize in the Homecoming Parade. This float represented a Spanish lady on a balcony being serenaded by her lover strumf ming his guitar in the garden below. The part of the lovely senorita was taken by Pauline Frankg and that of the gallant senor by June Pellett. Several very interesting talks were given on the various programs of the Club, one of which, presented by Mr. Brown, a former graduate of Freeport High School who has travelled and lived in Mexico, was conducted almost entirely in the Spanish language, and was highly appref ciated by the students. Another intensely interesting talk on Mexico was given by Miss Shunk, who had attended the Escuela Nacional de Mejico several summers ago. She was very enthusiastic about the country and its inhabitants and told interesting things about their customs. Her description of an earthquake that took place shortly after her arrival proved most interesting to her listeners. Mr. McCall lectured to the club on the Philippine Islands. In March the thirdfyear Spanish class presented several very amusing scenes from the Spanish comedy Zaragueta, written by Carrion. The high point of the year was the picnic which was enjoyed also by the members of the French Club. Page Thirtyffive ROW I: I. Koehler, M. Ickes, J. Jeffrey, E. Evans, T. Balles, M. Walton, L. Bolt.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais was another club that did interesting things this year. It was composed of about fifty members, all interested in further knowledge of France, its customs, language, life and institutions. The only prerequisite to membership in this club was that a student must have successfully passed one semester of French, and have continued the study of the subject. In the fall the club elected Lawrence Kaney president, Iva Franks vicefpresident, and Mary Bucher secretaryftreasurer. Miss Schmidt, the sponsor, gave many of the suggestions which enabled the program com' mittee to provide many unusual featureslat the monthly meetings. There have been many pleasant and profitable talks on the life of the French people including their sports, holidays, cities, cooking, etc. Amusing games and riddles followed by refreshments completed the monthly club meetings. In November the French Club's contribution to the Homecoming Parade was a fine float depicting a guillotine scene with Freeport as the executioner and Rockford as the victim. The March meeting was made especially interesting by Mrs. McNess who talked about her stay in France. Her description of Parisian styles and foods was of particular interest. Mrs. McNess contrasted the peasant and urban life, describing the customs of the different classes of French people. In April a very clever comedy, La Surprise d' Isidore , was given by some of the students from the French classes. A fitting climax to the year's program was the annual May picnic.

The club has helped to stimulate interest in the language and literature of the Romans, and to promote a greater knowledge of their customs and institutions. Anyone having completed the first semester of Latin, and continuing the study has been eligible for membership. For the last four years a medal has been presented to those students who during their fourth year of Latin have main' tained a standing of 90 or above. L'The Nuntius, a club paper of which Priscilla Hoefer is editorfinfchief, is published monthly. Many outstanding meetings were held this year. The initiation was a most humor' ously solemn affair as each new member was made to perform various stunts before a judge dressed in a flowing purple toga and wearing a crown. The Christmas party also proved to be a most delightful affair for the festival of Saturnalia was revived in true Roman fashion, and the merry games of the occasion put everyone under the spell of the carefree Yuletide season. On the Ides of March another outstanding meeting in the form of a radio broadcast commemorated the assassination of Caesar. Impersonations of modern radio stars announced in news flashes the death of Caesar. A most original and clever feature of this same program was the appearance of newsboys who ran through the audience with extras carrying news of the assassination. At the end of the year the annual Roman banquet was held. In choosing the officers, Bill Burt was selected as president, and Phyllis Hoffman, vicefpresident, while Barbara Emrich acted as secretary and John Bruce, treasurer. Miss Bowers was the club advisor. Page Tliirtyftlwee AIZ'I'IVI'I'IlES LETTERMENB CLUB Row I Row II Row III Row IV: Row V J. Abate, H. Rust, Boos, B. Coon, K. Downs, B. Keister, D. Smith, A.

Dupee, W. Kasch, L. Huyck, F. Shepard The fortyffive members of this club became eligible for membership by having earned a letter in a major sport. The outside activities of the members this year includf ed ushering at the baseketball games and the district band contest, and maintaining a refreshment stand during the football season. Besides these extra activities, the boys held a regular meeting the first Moiiday of every month. At these meetings many topics were discussed and many helpful plans to aid the public and the students of the Freef port schools were started. Perfection was the aim of the club in successfully accomplishing everything they undertook. One of the new ideas advanced during the current school year was the so' called Letter Day on which every letter man in school wore his letter. Friday of every week was chosen by the members for this day. The main entertainment for the club members previous to this year consisted of a hearty initiation of the new members and a picnic to which all except old members were barred. At one of the monthly meetings it was suggested that it was selfish of the club to spend its money on the picnic alone, so a banquet to which boys out for sports who were faithful in practice yet did not earn a letter, the coaches, the school board and a few others be invited was suggested. This, no doubt, will also be an annual affair. The hopeful new members were not disappointed, however, for a picnic was also given at which they were most heartily welcomed. The members of the club were very thankful to have had Joe Abate and Mr. Schwager as their leaders during one of the most successful years of the Lettermen's Club.

In two meets to date, Freeport had lost to Dubuque 8062, and to Rockford 9042, and was preparing for the district meet which was to be held at Freeport on Saturday, May 13. Nineteen thirtyfthree was the second successive year that the district meet was awarded to Freeport and was in line with the recent policy of local officials who have succeeded in bringing the best sport attractions of northern Illinois to Freeport. More than 200 athletes were expected for this district meet. In the opening meet at Dubuque, Freeport won only four events when Hartfield scampered home first in the 100fyard dash, Harry Kinert paced the field in the 220-yard dash, Jake Boos won the javelin throw, and the 880fyard relay team took a victory. The poor condition of the track kept all marks down, and the nearest thing to the sensational was Boos's toss of 151 feet, BM inches with the javelin. After a postponement because of rain Rockford and Freeport finally got together for their annual track feud on May 3. The two rivals were even during the first part of the meet, but the three Rab stars-Jack Robinson, Benny Behr, and Bob Packard- began to come into their own and rolled up points steadily in the later stages. Packard ran the 100 in the amazing time of 0109.9 and the 220 in the still more startling time of 0:'Z1.8, records that stamp him as one of the best high school sprinters in the middle west. Mon Hartfield, Freeport low hurdler, sped over the low hurdles in 27 seconds, showing much promise for the future. In the javelin throw Boos twisted his ankle, and the Pretzels were deprived of a sure first place, as Boos had thrown the spear ten feet farther than what turned out to be Rockford's winning distance. Freeport did grab two firsts, Bicker winning the quarter mile, Henry Scott the mile run, while Henke was in a threefway tie for first place in the pole vault. Page Thirty I The Ponies in Action At Rockford, inability to sink free throws cost Freeport an 18f17 game. A late rally almost caught the Rablets from behind. This was the last game for Freeport's three ninefsemester lettermen, Laughlin, Schramm, and Coon, but next week the Pretzelettes proved they had lost none of their dash by beating Elgin 25 '23, The little Pretzels paused to beat Lanark 35-26, but resumed conference play the next week against East Aurora. The latter was defeated 28f17, and West Aurora met a similar fate 29f21. Freeport now stood on the threshold of a championship, and missed it by just two points, 33f31, in another thrilling encounter at Joliet. The visiting Freeporters again held the champs to a twofpoint margin, and a slippery floor was all that kept the title away from here. Undaunted by their failure to stop Joliet, the Pretzelettes prepared to entertain Rockford the next week, and turned back the invaders 25 '24 when Russ Spencer made a free throw with the score tied 24f24 and 16 seconds remaining to play. Rockford was decidedly outplayed all the way, but it appeared that the jinx that had pursued the home ponies thirteen straight games was present again, Freeport outscored the visitors on field goals by a substantial margin, but Rockford dropped in free throws steadily. Of the linefup which finished the season all will be back next year--most of them wearing heavyweight uniforms, however. Kinertnand Baebler are the only lettermen who appear light enough to defy the 135fpound weight limit. Aside from their conference record of six victories and four defeats, Freeport won ive nonfconference games and lost one, giving a complete slate of eleven wins and five losses for the season. This is by far the best record a Freeport lightweight five has hung up in many seasons. Twice Freeport defeated West Aurora and Elgin, and single vicf tories were scored over Rockford, East Aurora, Durand, Lanark, Polo, Harlem, and Oregon. Page Turenty-nin 'EP Q fB 'l NA Row I: F.

LIGHTXN EIGHT BASKETBALL For the first time in almost a decade, Freeport was a strong contender for the lightweight basketball crown. With Bill Keister and Harry Kinert at forward, Jack Clark at center, Russell Spencer and Wilbur Popp at guard, and Roy S. Anderson coaching, the Pretzelettes finished in third place. Everett Laughlin, forward, Karl Schramm, ineligible after the first semester, and Fred Baebler, guards, also played enough to receive letters. Keister, chosen captain by his teamfmates at the end of the campaign, brought the Big Six lightweight individual scoring title to Freeport with 81 points in ten conference games. The season opened with three easy non-conference victories over Harlem, 32-9, Oregon, 36f9g and Polo 37115. This put the Pretzelettes in their stride, and the follow' ing week they upset the strong Elgin quintette, 27725, in the Hrst of six onefpoint and twofpoint battles which featured the season. Following the conference opener, Beloit stopped Freeport's victory streak by beating the locals 2048 in another thriller. For the third consecutive week Freeport fought a twofpoint battle when East Aurora took the locals into camp, 17f15, the next week. This game, played at Aurora, marked the low spot of the season and immediately afterward Freeport climbed to the season's height. After overwhelming Durand 46f11, and West Aurora 41f24, the succeeding game brought a bitter defeat. Leading Joliet at the half 19f7, Freeport slipped and allowed the score to be tied 21 all. The locals then unleashed another drive that put them ahead 29321, with two minutes to play. Joliet suddenly waxed hot on long shots and dropped in five sizzling baskets from freak angles to win, 3129. Page Twentyfeiglit The first game in the district tournament at Rockford was played against Harlem. The entire team clicked to give a nice 41f16 setback to the Forest City aggregation. In the semiffinals Winnebago bowed to the superior powers of the Freeporters in a 52'22 defeat. The finals found Rockford good but not quite good enough for the fast locals. The first round of the sectional here brought Freeport and Sterling together in a onefsided tilt featuring hard playing. Sterling was defeated 37-19. Du Pue was an easy bite for the Pretz as the Princeton district champs fell before the 50328 knockfdown and drag-out style of the locals. A nice habit of finding the hoop made the Du Pue squad look like pennies waiting for change. The Lake View squad, champions of the Wixidy City, were just too much raw meat for the Pretz to chew. Led by a human skyscraper, the big team defeated a bat' tling Pretz squad in a 30-27 game. Fritz Keith, whom not even Troutwine could sub- due, led the Pretz in a game fight. Those on the 1933 Freeport team were: Keith, Dupee, and Schumacher, forwards, Hildebrandt, Resh, Boos, Glos, and Griffo, guards, Jones and Henke, centers. Jones and Resh will be lost through graduation, but most of the remaining members will be back again next year ready to repeat and add to the success of the 1933 season. 1933 BASKETBALL SCCRES HEAVYWEIGHTS LIGHTWEIGHTS Freeport 29 .............

A bitter onefpoint defeat was the lot of the Pretz when they traveled to Rabtown for what might be called a game. With onefpoint margins separating the teams at brief intervals, the locals were leading when a frantic shot to the hoop by a Rab player managed to find its way in and the gun sounded on the 2605 defeat. In the next game Freeport swamped Elgin on their own floor, a thing which had not been done for fifteen years. Out-scoring the Asylum City Zfl in the third quarter, the Pretz crashed to an easy victory with a second team. Freeport next took a 313.26 win over the Bulldogs in a publicized game whose outcome classed Freeport as a real ball club. Without giving Streator time to awaken, gently the Pretz rang in five baskets in quick succession. The game turned into a swift matching of wits with the Freeport club showing a marked advantage. By a thoroughly convincing score of 43f24 East Aurora was swamped by a deter' mined Freeport contingent. By virtue of the victory Freeport again led the conference race. A determined orange and black quint next trounced West Aurora by a 3426 score as payment for the sideftracking defeat it had bestowed on the Pretz in the first round. The Pretz then took a setback to tie Aurora for first place. Joliet, playing a waiting game, caused the locals to lose patience and blow up in a 17f9 loss. The season was capped by a victory over Rockford, ancient rival of the Pretz. Rockford, too stunned to recover from Freeport's sixfpoint lead in several plays, went through the remainder of the game in a daze. The Freeport attack worked steadily at piling up the points. Dupee, Keith, and Jones made things hot for the Rabs. With this victory came the Hrst undisputed claim to the Big Six Championship since '2'i. The regular season ended with the 28-21 score.

HEAVYWEIGHT BASKETBALL The heavyweight basketball team turned in a good account of itself after an unusual season. The Freeporters played their first contest with Harlem of Rockford. Leading throughout the entire game, the local quint sent the Harlem five home with the short end of a 29f12 score. Oregon became Freeport's second victim. Taking an early lead and maintaining it consistently, the locals gave a 3848 trouncing to the Rock River school. In the Hnal preliminary affair Freeport's undefeated five received a scare from the Polo aggregation which crept close in an 184.2 fracas featured by many easy points thrown away on both sides. The next week Freeport tightened its defense to win a 31f16 game from Elgin. While both teams ran on a par in the first quarter, Freeport later pulled away and left Elgin in the wake of a lot of dust. Two great squads were battling for supremacy in the BeloitfFreeport game. Beloit returned with a 25123 defeat-the only black mark against the Wisconsin state chamf pions. By removing the only other undefeated team in the Big Six, Freeport rattled around in first place after a 25f20 win over East Aurora. Another case of a stonewall's meeting an irresistible force ended with Galesburg's wall crumbling before the Pretz's steamroller, 27f17. Freeport received their first setback when a dark horse team from West Aurora pricked their ego and sent a sorry team home with a 2548 lashing. To take the Big Six lead again the majors whipped the Joliet quint in a tight 24f2O game. The performance of john Resh rather startled the visiting players as the local Page Twentyfive Freeport returned home the following week and lost a thrilling battle to East Aurora, 6f0. The two teams battled on even terms in a tight defensive duel, but a touchdown with but seven seconds to play lost the game for Freeport. The timer was fingering the trigger of his gun when Federspiel, East high fullback, scored the winning touchdown and broke the scoreless tie. Cold weather that numbed the hands and precluded good ball handling almost proved the undoing of Freeport in the next game at West Aurora. Seven times the Pretzelettes lost the ball by fumbles or blocked punts, and though they threatened the Aurora goal five times, only twice did they capitalize on their efforts. Quarterback Guentherman wasted little time in finding the center of the West line to be weak, and spinner plays and line plunges paved the way to many gains that were lost by faulty ball handling. In the last quarter Freeport broke a 6-6 tie with Guentherman scoring, and won this game of blown chances by a 13f6 margin. Joliet's tricky assortment of reverses and double reverses proved too complex for Freeport, and the latter lost the next game 18fO. The game was played on an icefcoated field, and the only hopeful note for Freeport was the showing of young prospects, es' pecially Bill Keister, next year's prospect for quarterback. Keister kicked, passed, and ran in a way that promises much for the future. The finale went to the Rockford champions, 52f6, but not until after Freeport had thrown a fright into the ranks of the Rablets. Freeport unveiled a new defense that stopped the vaunted line plunges of Rockford but failed on passes and end runs. After Freeport had scored on a pass from Keister to Coon, Rockford inserted Bob Packard into the game. The Big Six sprint champion was hitting on all sixteen cylinders that afternoon and ran through the Freeport defense easily. Forward passes sent the score to 32-6. At the end of the season 18 ponies were awarded letters for their services, including nine who will be back for the 1933 campaign. The letter winners were as follows: ends, Harrison Bauscher and Rollin Volkersg tackles, Thaddeus Bookman and Floyd Shepard, guards, Wilbur Brubaker, Wayne Kasch, Kenneth Downs, and Harry Rust, centers, Henry Scott and Donald Smith, Backs, Robert Coon, Captain Albert Guenf therman, William Kerlin, Harry Kinert, Vernon Mercier, Nicholas Petta, Karl Reed, and William Keister.

Volkers, LIGHTWEIGI-lT FOOTBALL Out of a horde of totally inexperienced players was developed the 1932 Freeport High School lightweight football team. Such as it was, it was an achievement of sheer determination by Coaches Milton E. Schwager and George Kloos and their little band of fighting gridders. Handicapped as they were, the Pretzelettes came through with three victories in seven games, scoring 74 points to their opponents' 94, and winning fifth place in the conference standing. Wheii the season began, few would have wagered the proverbial plugged nickel on Freeport's chances of winning a game, so great was the lack of real material. But the Pretzelettes surprised their most optimistic supporters by romping through Mount Carroll 3lf7 and Rochelle 24fO in the two preliminary games. Superb--almost perfect-blocking made it an easy task for the local ball-carriers to dash through the opposing defense, as the line smashed open wide gaps in the opposing wall and the blocking backs cut down the secondary defense mercilessly. It was because of this splendid team work that the first time a Freeport man touched the ball last fall, a touchdown resulted. This was in the first game with Mount Carroll. The Little Pretz kicked off, and after the visitors had tried a few line plays, they punted back to Bobby Coon, local safety man. Coon simply ambled to a touch' down behind a moving wall of interference. This scene was repeated four times before the Freeport attack let down, and second and thirdfstring players were sent into the game. The Rochelle game was little different, but the effects of it took some of the edge off the joy of victory. Schwager took his lads out of that game suffering from a variety of ailments, and the Elgin game found Freeport out of condition for conference football. Still, it is doubtful if the Little Pretz could have done much about winning this game as Elgin was at its peak, and there was no difficulty in seeing why the Maroon- ettes were champs of their class five straight seasons. Freeport made one threat going to the Elgin 17-yard line before bowing 25f0. Page 'l'wenty'thvee Row I: J. Blackiston, D. Schirmer, H. Kracht, L. Huyck, G. Boos, E. Georgelas, I. Abate, Row II: P.

By a narrow margin of two points the Freeport High School heavies lost their second conference game, a fray with East Aurora, and then fought West Aurora to a OfO tie. Playing in a high wind that precluded a good passing or punting style, neither attack was able to make much headway. Freeport, which had a slight advantage in yards gained, exhibited an iron courage by playing the entire game without substitutions. The scoreless result marked the second straight week that the 1931 scores were repeated. In both 1931 and 1932 Freeport lost to East by a safety and played West to a score' less tie. On their way to the championship, Joliet did not call any truce on hostilities toward the Freeport team, which defeated them last year, and on Armistice Day the Freeport team was handed a defeat as a small return for the beautiful lashing given Joliet by the locals the preceeding season. The game ended in a skating spree on the icy field with the long end of the 'Z1fO score favoring the jolieteers. A line that refused to budge an inch and a backneld that was in its best shape of the season gave Rockford one of its hardest battles of the year in the annual home' coming week festivities. The undefeated Rabs were highly favored before the game, but Freeport outplayed them for one entire half before losing by a 2016 score. The outstanding player on the field was Joe Abate, whose play was the inspiration of the team in the first half. Playing with a seriously injured shoulder of which no one else was aware, Abate was all over the field. When at last his injury forced him to retire, he was given one of the biggest ovations ever tendered a player by a Freeport crowd. Thus one of Freeport's bitterest seasons came to an end after an endless succession of handicaps. Inexperience might have been overcome, but there was no way to combat the epidemic of injuries that took seven backfield men out of action at one time or another. At the end of the season the heavyweight squad elected Joe Abate, diminutive quarterback, and Robert Neidigh, halfback, as honorary cofcaptains. The letter winners who are claimed by graduation and will not return for another year are: Joe Abate, quarterback, George Boos, halfback, Robert Neidigh, halfback, Everett Bicker, fullback, Isaac Gage and Frank Rutter, centers, Charles Jones, end, Carl Regez, tackle, and Deno Schirmer and Roy Walters, guards. The seven lettermen returning for the 1933 season are: Wilbur Popp and David Dupee, ends, Calvin Miley and Lawrence Huyck, tackles, Howard Kracht, guard, and Pete Griffo and Emmanuel Georgalas, backs. Page Twentyftwo MILTON SCHWAGER GEORGE KLoos HOWARD WEBER Roy ANDERSON HEAVYVJ EIGHT FOOTBALL Stripped of experienced players at the beginning of the season, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Weber developed a heavyweight squad that turned in a good season's record. In preparation for a rigorous schedule the heavies played four nocturnal games. The first game found the 1932 Mississippi Valley Champions from Dubuque visiting the Pretz in the season's opener. In a long run a Hawkeye limited ran a dusky course to intercept a Freeport pass and sped through all interference to a 72fyard trip. Freeport threatened once on Dubuque's 4fyard line but the score remained 6f0 until the final gun. The initial victory came sweetly to the Pretzels the following week when Harlem of Rockford sent a powerful aggregation to the German City to offer further compef tition for the locals. Freeport clearly outplayed the Harlem squad in the first half and it wasn't until the second period that Harlem loosed a vicious attack that sent the fans to their feet, but the tightening of the Pretz defense brought the threats to naught. Freeport's score came in the second quarter when George Boos, led by excellent inter' ference, ran 49 yards for a counter. The attempt to convert failed. The Polo team was swamped by a Freeport tidal wave when Joe Abate, playing a brilliant game, scored unassisted on his own kickfoff. After kicking off Joe raced down the field to cover the play, but, when the ball rolled behind the goal line unhindered, Joe followed it up to score. Joe scored again in the l9f6 victory. The other touchdown was made by George Boos who scored in three attempts after a run of 23 yards. Everett Bicker made the one extra point with a line plunge. Early in the first quarter of the Rochelle game, the last nonfconference affair before the Elgin opener, George Boos scored after a brilliant running attack featuring the entire backfield clicking beautifully. Charles jones scored the other Freeport touchdown when he snagged a pass and romped for a local score. The gun sounded for a Freeport victory 12f0. A good assortment of passes and line plays netted the Pretz a single touchdown against the powerful Elgin eleven, which functioned perfectly in all branches of the game to give a 34f7 trouncing to the Pretz on foreign field.
