Another annual was not published until 1906, which was the birth date of the first annual Polaris. This year book also contained two pages of important happenings. The primary purpose of this section of any annual is statistical, yet its author should attempt to relieve dry facts with lighter matter. This year's calendar is one of the longest calendars in the history of Freeport Senior High School. SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT. OcT. OcT. OcT. OCT.

The book of 1934 is important to the seniors, for it is not only their last . I project and completion of their activities, but it is a lasting record of the four years spent in high school. It is a record which enables the reader to look back upon and to relive the excitement of the sports events, the fun of the classes, and to recall old acquaintances. This year's book was not the Work of the selected staff only, but of all the seniors who worked so earnestly for its completion. The Heart Carnival given in February was a marked success and increased the funds for the Polaris. Several assemblies sponsored by the upper classmen also added to the finances. This year many new ideas were incorporated, some of which have never been used before in any annual published here. Although the book had no definite theme, there was an ample amount of diH:1cult art work for Miss Stephenson and her able art staff, who did their task so ediciently. The financial end of the Polaris was in the capable hands of John Schuth and Mr. Kloos. Miss Teske deserves a great deal of the credit for the success of our annual because she always Worked so helpfully with us, suggesting as well as prodding, This comic opera in three acts was presented April zo, at the Masonic Temple. The libretto was written by Harry B. 7 9 Smith, and the music by Reginald de Koven. The main ch ar- acters were chosen from the Treble Clef Club and the Glee Club after a series of try-outs. At the beginning of the opera a merrymaking is in progress at the market place in Nottingham. The four outlaws, Little John QDavid DupeeD, Will Scarlet CHomer Oglel, Will Stutely CDarrell StephensD, and Friar Tuck QMilton Schimelpfenigl enter and sing of their free life in the Forest of Sherwood, and fm ally the handsome, dashing Robin Hood CRaymond GlosD appears, declaring that he is the Earl of Huntington and demanding that the Sheriff CStanley SchumacherD shall so proclaim him. The Sheriff, however, protests that the youth has been disinherited by his own father, who before the birth of Robin Hood was secretly married to a peasant girl, who died when her child was an infant. The child is Sir Guy of Guisborne CHomer jonesb, the rightful heir to the earldom and the Sheriff's ward, whom he is planning to marry to Lady Marian CHelen I-loweD, ward of the Crown. However, the young girl and Robin Hood are already deeply in love and exchange vows of eternal faith, much to the indignation of Sir Guy. Lady Marian protests against her marriage to Sir Guy, hoping that on the return of the King from the Crusades 'she will be released, while Robin Hood plans with the help of the King to prove his right to the earldom. The outlaws sympathize with the pair and invite Robin Hood to join them, promising him he shall be their king and rule them under the Greenwood Tree, to which proposal Robin Hood at length agrees.

Treble Clef A opened its 1933-34 series of activities with a delightful Thanksgiving Assembly. Several Latin choral num- Treble bers, lighter American selections, and songs by special groups . comprised the program. Hosana, a Latin choral, opened the program, the Illinois All State Chorus Quintet sang several numbers, and the Song of the Steppesn brought the delightful program to a close. As representatives of the Treble Clef, Margaret Bingham and Lois Schroeder were sent to the Illinois All State Chorus at Champaign. Lois Schroeder was one of sixteen Illinois high school students to receive hrst honors. The In and About Chicago Club, a group of schools near Chicago interested in music, was attended by Effie Bruce and Phyllis Hoffman. December 17, five o'clock, marked the time of the annual Christmas Vesper Service, which was held at the Masonic Temple. All the members of the vocal department were included in this huge chorus of 150. The difficult Hallelujah Chorus, by Handel, was one of the high-lights of the performance. Mrs. Naomi Kidd ably assisted in the Christmas program by directing the alumni chorus in the antiphonal singing of Silent Night. V A delightful oratorio entitled Hawthorne and Lavender -in which the girls wore lavender organdie dresses, silver slippers, and had silver coiffures-was pre- sented before the Woman's Club at the Masonic Temple. The colored girls' quartet sang Three Little Folk Songs as the first part of the program. This same pro- gram was repeated in the assembly two weeks later and gave the student body an opportunity to hear the detailed work done by the Treble Clef A. The fourth annual voice class recital was held January 31, and as a new idea, was considered as a part of the opera try-outs this year. Colorful costumes, gorgeous settings, and rollicking music made the light opera Robin Hood, by De Koven, an attraction for both young and old. This annual event took place April zo. The activities of the Treble Clef closed with the baccalaureate service and the annual banquet. Throughout the year they were directed by Miss Margaret Weyer and accompanied by Betty Schaefer.

The Glee Club, like the Treble Clef, began its season with the C940 Thanksgiving assembly. Shortenin' Bread was a specialty which was well received by the student listeners. The boys' parts of the difficult Latin and American numbers showed that the Glee Club has become a well trained group of singers. Club In the Glee Club we Hnd many of outstanding talent. Homer Ogle, Earl Yeager, and Darrell Stephens were sent to the Illinois All State Chorus to represent the male members of the music department. Darrell Stephens, along with several other high school students, was awarded second division honors at this state-wide music con- vention, which was held on the University of Illinois campus. As delegates of the Glee Club, Wayne Goembel, Raymond Glos, Wilbur Finkboner, Jack Henning, and Homer Jones attended the In and About Chicago Club Chorus meetings, which con- vened every Saturday for six weeks, and then gave a concert in Chicago. Over six hundred high school vocalists were heard in this concert. The Christmas program, on December 17, was one of the main programs of the year. The boys appearing in black suits and the girls in white dresses made a picture to be remembered. Proctorius' Lo' How a Rose was sung by the Glee Club as a special number. The prelude, offertory, and postlude were played by John Bruce at the Consistory organ. E The members of the Glee Club assisted in making the fourth annual Voice Class .Recital a success. Many of those who were not on the program offered their services as ushers. The recital is now an annual event, and, in order to have leading parts in the opera, the students are required to appear in the previous recital. It is the am- bition of music students to be allowed to sing in this annual event. The spring season was carried on with the production of the opera, Robin Hood, and the May Festival in which the entire music department participated. The baccalaureate service and the annual banquet brought the year to a close. Throughout the season the Glee Club was ably accompanied by Margaret Bingham and directed by Miss Margaret Weyer, to whom much credit is due for the successful productions and undertakings of the music department.

To create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian living. A very capable group of oflicers, consisting of Wilbur Popp, president, Q HQ Y Stanley Schumacher, vice-president, and Emmerson Wittbecker, secretary-treasurer, led the Hi-Y in carrying out the above motto. Under the able guidance of Mr. Dennis, Boys' Work Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and Mr. Anderson, our own physical director, the club was able to be of real service to the high school and other organizations in Freeport. The first big project undertaken by the Hi-Y was the printing and distribution of programs for all of the home football games. The hearty co-operation of Freeport made these possible, the programs were greatly appreciated by the fans who did not know all of the players personally. Other important events of the autumn were the formation of a Gospel team to assist at young peoples' meetings in local churches, a Hallowe'en get-to-gether with the Hi-G. R., and an impressive induction service for new members. At this solemn candlelight ceremony more than twenty new members were initiated into the organization. The lirst undertaking of the winter months was a musical assembly, held to replenish a depleted treasury. Each member of the club contributed food to a Christmas basket, which was donated to a deserving family. During Christmas week was held the annual holiday hop in conjunction with the Girl Reserves. College students, who were lnembers of these clubs while in high school, helped make this a gala occasion long to be remembered. Springtime found the club sponsoring another assembly, this time a Teachers' Talent Show. A large delegation of Ereeport boys attended the annual Buddy banquet of the Rockford H1-Y on April 16. The closing event of the year was a picnic held at Krape Park. A baseball game between the senior and junior mem- bers was the chief item of importance beside the election of new oHicers for next year. An innovation which proved to be very popular was the plan of putting one member in charge of the entertainment for each meeting. Each Tuesday night found a large group of boys assembled at the Y. M. C. A., eager to see what one of their fellows would provide in the way of entertainment or instruction. Through this plan the club was enabled to hear such speakers as the Reverend Engelmann, Coaches Anderson and Schwager, and H. G. Whitford, who spoke on subjects of interest to boys of high school age. A large percentage of the club is made up of seniors, thus leaving but a few juniors to build up and carry on the fine work of the club. C930 Row I: H. Earnest, Jeffrey, H. Schunk, D. Malott, R. Uhe.

Although Freeport debate teams did not quite repeat their chalnpionship achievements of 1937. and 1933, the squad, with . only one regular from last year, made a commendable record. This year's team again placed our school high in the Big Six tournament by finishing second to the strong Elgin team, with six victories and four defeats. At the National Forensic League tournament at Northwestern University, the negative team made a remarkable record by winning the only two debates for which it was eligible, defeating Elgin, champions of the Big Six, and Duquoin, Illinois state champions of 1933 and 1934. Freeport placed third in the district tournament of the state debate league at DeKalb, losing to Mendota and Sandwich in the final round, after having won three out of four debates. The debate question for the past season was: Resolved, that the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of radio control and opera- tion. The regular aflirmative lineup included Jean Jeffrey, Emerson Wittebecker, and Vifilliam Healy Cteam leaderD. Due to conflicting activities and the nine- semester eligibility ruling in the state league, the negative lineup was not as regular. Charles Balz, John Schuth, Hazel Earnest, and Ruth Uhe debated at DeKalb, Nuell Steinmetz Cteam leaderl entered the lineup at the Big Six tournament, and Jack Clark and David Peterson teamed with Steinie at Northwestern. Underclass material was developed in non-decision debates to insure Freeport a winning team next year. Out ofthe sixteen speakers who participated in debates this year, only five are seniors. Those graduating are: Healy, Schuth, Clark, Peterson, and Steinmetz. Others, not previously mentioned, who debated in interscholastic debates are: Constance Myer, Dorothy Malott, Hyla Schunk, Robert Pash, Ethyl Forlow, and John Shearer. Homer Ogle, who last year placed third in the state contest in oratorical declama- tion at Northwestern University, added honors to himself this season. By placing third in the state contest this year, Homer qualifies for the national contest at Topeka, Kansas, May 7. The annual sophomore oratorical contest was not held early enough this year to permit the winner's name to be known at the time of this writing. 0920 Row E. Sharp, M. Mcllhattin, E. Modica, S.

For the most people to benefit 1 - from our programs which are of interest to every girl, vve decided O to limit our important program meetings to one each semestere- girls' assemblies held in the gymnasium. This would enable all girls to become acquainted with the club. Business meetings were to be called at needed intervals. The second semester meeting was centered around a debate. The question was, Resolved that a Home Economics training course is better for a Freeport High School girl than a college preparatory course. Jean Weber and Marie Schumaker debated the question for the Home Economics department While Ruth Uhe and Hula Schunk of the college training course were on the opposing team. Music and explanation of requirements for membership by Catherine Carpenter made up the rest of the program. At the close of the meeting all interested freshmen and upper classmen who were eligible were invited to hand in their names to be voted on for membership. Initiation took place one week later. The aims of this department are: To advertise and buy things to improve the department itself, to C0-0pCI'z1tC with other clubs and to do our part as an organiza- tion in different activities of the school. Pins, to be given out to girls who have earned one hundred points or more While in the club, were received by Arlieth Mensenkamp, Elizabeth Schubert, Jean Jeffrey and Josephine Abate. One may re- ceive points toward her pin in different ways as, being an officer, a chairman of a committee, taking part in a program, having a health examination, improving posture, and working in the check room. This year thirty-five members were in the organization. To be eligible, a girl must have an average of eighty-five or more in any of the Home Making courses. Officers for the year were: president, Josephine Abate, vice-president, Ruth Cruik- shank, secretary-treasurer, Elizabeth Schubert, while Miss Edith Lyle, clothing instructor, was the helpful adviser. 0910 M.

The aim of the H-G. R. Club is to help in the building of personality, and of attitudes in line with social progress-to secure for girls that abundant life which we call good. G.R.' Asia symbol the Girl Reserve has a triangle, standing on its point and enclosed by a circle, representing the world a Girl Reserve touches. The triangle stands for the perfectly balanced sides ofa Y girl's lifewspirit, mind, and body. According to the code, a Girl Reserve should be Gracious in manner, Impartial in judgment, Ready for service, Loyal to friends, Reaching toward the best, Earnest in purpose, Seeing the beautiful, Reverent to God, Victorious over self, Ever dependable, Sincere at all timesithe first letter of each phrase spelling 'iGirl Reserves. Hi-G. R. life brings pleasure, adventure, knowledge, experience, good health, companionship, and character. To Girl Reserves this means learning new skills, round-table discussions, taking part in dramatics and athletics, and pursuing special interests. Every interest and problem in home, school, church, oflice or community holds the possibility of practice in the habit of facing life squarely. Activities of the Hi-G. R. Club have centered upon travel talks, plays, person- ality talks, social and tap dancing, hikes, picnics and fellowship suppers, with the usual program of social activities. Three Hi-Y and Hi-G. R. parties and dances were held during the club year. The Hi-G. R. program takes innumerable forms, all of which aim to help a girl to build up within herself standards of value for the living of a balanced life. Every first and third lVednesday in the month is known as recreation night, on the second and fourth nights the business meetings are held. The advisers, Miss Spenser and Miss Klein, and the oflicers, Kathryn Landreth, president, Edith Keith, vice-president, Nlargaret Rice, secretary, and Rachel lValz, treasurer, were respon- sible for much of the success of the club during the year. Q EIU I One of the last of the many Senior activities is the Girls' Club luncheon, at which are present, as guests of honor, the mothers of the Senior girls. Mrs. Scott, the capahle adviser, ' has proved herself very helpful as faculty head of thls club. ' The Girls' Club was first organized in 197.6 by the dean of girls, Mrs. Scott. Every girl of the high school is an active member of the club. Through the co-operation of all the girls, Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior alike, a magazine drive is sponsored every year. The funds received from this drive are used for the purpose of aiding needy girls to secure a high school education. Thirty-five young girls were given assistance during the past year.

Juniors and Seniors who show an interest in dramatic work are eligible to try-outs for member- ship in the club at the beginning of each semester. Try-outs consist of a character sketch reading, or a scene from a play. Scharf, P. De Nure, B. Carroll, S. Schumacher, D. Dupec,,I. Clark, C. Balz, R, Glos. Mark These are held before a committee from the club, and the number of students in the club is limited. A new system has been introduced whereby a certain group is chosen as pledges. Before they can be formally initiated, each pledge must gain fifty points by working on various committees and participating in the programs. They are then formally initiated amid dim candlelight with XVilliam Healy, the president, acting as King Thespis. The informal initiations always afford hilarious fun for everyone concerned. Meetings are held each month for discussion and programs in the Music room. This year the most enjoyable program and meeting was the Christmas party sponsored by the club for the Mask and XVig alumni. Included in the entertainment was the unusual one-act farce The Blue Serge Suit, a skit from the melodrama Belle Lamar, the clever play The Triangle, and several unusual musical numbers. Dancing and attractive refreshments concluded this festive occasion. Other interesting programs included the plays, Speaking of Father, The Man Who Died at Twelve O'Clock, a scene from Sun Up, 'lThe Baggage, The XVedding, Two Crooks and a Lady, Undercurrent, Moonshine, Good Medicine, Paste Pearls, and several clever skits. Among these was the skit entitled 'lClara, Lou, and Em. A number of these plays were presented before the student body and were enthusiastically received. The entire work of the year culminated in the participation in the state one-act play contest, May 1. Highness, a soviet Russian play was selected and presented several times in the Music room before the contest. The cast of the play included: William Healy, Ruth Cruikshank, Betty Laughlin, and Oscar Ennenga. At Mt. Morris where the sub-district contest was held, the play won first place. Second place was won at DeKalb where the district contest took place. Under the excellent super- vision of Miss Rachel Whitfield, director, and with Miss Beatrice Kell as assistant director, the club was most successful throughout the year. ' and WZ 850 Row I: D.

V Monthly meetings of the Cercle Francais gave added zest to L6 6,6756-le . the study of the French language. Over forty members par- ticipated in the programs this year. Lively interest was insured by the selection of Emerson Wittbecker as president, Dorothy Malott as vice-president, and Jean jeffrey as secretary-treasurer. Miss Dorothea Schmidt, club sponsor, gave many of the helpful suggestions which enabled the program committee to provide the interesting features of the meetings. To be elibigle for membership in this organization, one must have passed one semester of French and be continuing the course. There were many pleasant and profitable talks about the life of the French people, including their holidays, cities, and the education of their children. A social hour in which games were played and refreshments were served followed each meeting. An important meeting was held in December featuring Mrs. Hopuk as guest speaker. A native of France, Mrs. Hopuk gave an interesting account of her country, and related many of the unusual customs observed at Christmas. Initiation of members in February brought the total enrollment above forty, the newcomers were made to act out French nursery rhymes in pantomimes before they were admit- ted into full membership, In April a one-act comedy in French, La Faim est un Grand Inventeur, was presented in the Music Room before the club. Seven students, Richard Perkins, Emerson Wittbecker, Philip Perkins, Mary Jane Phillips, Jean Weber, Elaine Evans, and Lloyd Plowman, were in the cast, and the excellent portrayal they gave showed their mastery of the language and acting ability. To- gether with the Spanish Club, the French Club entered in the annual Home Coming Parade a float depicting the characteristic costumes of the two countries. The annual spring picnic also held in conjunction with the Spanish Club at Krape's Park was a great success, and proved a fitting climax to the year's entertainment. A delicious picnic supper was served to the members, after which games and con- tests brought the evening to a rollicking close. C340 Row I, . Deemer. M. Miller, K. Jones, E. Sharp, P. Wagner, E.

Students who are interested in Spanish have learned, through ' El Circulo Castellano, that this language is useful in American Clrgulo commerce. As a large part of American trade is with the countries of the South, and the native language of these countries is Spanish, it can be seen how important the language is. English is the only language among western nations which surpasses Spanish in use. 0 Crzfiellano To develop interest in this language, the Spanish Club was started. Those students Who have had one semester of Spanish are eligible for entrance. It has fifty members this year, who elected as their officers, Bill Healy, president, Hans Bingert, vice-president, and Rachel Fortner, secretary treasurer. The co-operation of these officers, the entertainment committee, and Miss Schmidt, the capable faculty adviser, provided the club with a year of profitable entertainment. The members of the program committee who are responsible for these programs are, Fern Ditzler, chairman, Gladys Rust, and Kenneth Crowe. The programs were done in Spanish. This year they were given entirely by the members of the club. Among other things, the third year Spanish students gave a play entitled Uno de Ellos Debe Casarse C One of Them Mun' Mary j which was greatly enjoyed by all present. Another incentive for the members of the club to learn more about the Spanish-speaking countries was the correspondence carried on by these students wi th students of English in Mexico and South America. Many interesting letters have been received by them. As a climax to an enjoyable year, the Spanish and French Clubs held their annual picnic. The committee that is responsible for the entertainment at the meetings and at the picnic, consists ofMerrill Weber, chairman, Margery Hogan andjack Healy. 0830 Row I: G. Macomber, W. Weltyhl.

With membership of over one hundred, Societas Romana has T made the thirteenth year of organization one of the most success- ful of its history. At the annual Home Coming Parade the club Olndnd entered a float representing a Roman triumph. A chariot bearing the successful general was preceded and followed by slaves bearing torches and the spoils of war, while a body servant in flowing robes held the crown of victory over the general's head. Unusual programs distinguished the monthly meetings of this year. As the purpose of the club is to promote greater knowledge of the language and customs of the ancient Romans, the programs were mainly instructional and extremely inter- esting. One of the high lights of the year was a talk by Mrs. A. Stukenberg about her travels in the land of Caesar and Cicero. The word pictures she painted were vivid, and the members could easily imagine the cities of the great empire as Mrs. Stukenberg described them. Christmas music was featured at the December meeting, the old Latin hymns arousing the spirit of yuletide in the singers. In cele- bration of the Ides of March, the anniversary of Caesar's assassination, another memorable meeting was held. The Caesar classes presented a very clever and original farce depicting the funeral oration of the great Roman general. Initiation of members held in September and February proved to be a source of much amusement to the old members. The annual banquet, held in the spring, gave the club an opportunity to dine in Roman style and topped off the year with another successful venture. Plans for this affair were in the capable hands of Phyllis Hoffman, program chairman, Karl Smoyer, chairman of the foods committee, and Mary Kruse, decorations chairman. Those students who have completed one semester of Latin and who are continuing the course are eligible for membership in this organization. john Bruce as president, John Erwin as vice-president, Phyllis Hoffman as secretary, and Robert Harlan as treasurer guided the activities of the club throughout the year. Miss Mabel Bowers is the faculty adviser of Societas Romana. 0320 Row I: M. Bingham, H. Bucher, B. Schaefer, D. james. Row II: M. Hogan, M. Dreier, N. Koehsmeier, Rigby, L. Schroeder. Row III: M.

The Honorary Literary Society for girls, the Philomathians, strives to further the literary interests of the members and also to link the improvement of scholarship with pleasure. To Ph jig J' become a member of this honorary society, one must be a senior girl with an average of 90 in English for all four years and at . least 85 in all other subjects. Junior girls who have met all the entrance require- ments are taken in during the second semester as pledges. The pledges must attend all of the social meetings and are compelled to keep their scholastic average, or they are eliminated from the club. At the beginning of the second semester, twenty- two pledges were formally initiated into the club. A novel way of securing money was innovated by the girls-that of selling magic slates. A one-act play was successfully sponsored. With part of the money gained from these projects, the girls laid the foundations for a Philo library, which is to be used only by the members of the society. Twenty books were bought. These books include some of the best works of modern authors-Walpole, Galsworthy, Mansfield, and Aldrich. A few of the standard classics were purchased. Many very interesting gatherings were held during the year. Two of especial interest were held: One at which Mr. Madden gave a witty interesting travel talk on Trinidad, and the other devoted to Sara Teasdale's poems: this meeting was conducted by Miss Schunk, aided by Mrs. Lynch. Through the planning of the various programs, the girls acquired much knowledge and interest in the present- day authors. The meeting sponsored solely by the pledges proved of much interest to the senior girls. The annual banquet, a reception for the pledges, given in the late spring was a very enjoyable affair. The adviser, Miss Card, deserves much credit for the success of the club through- out the year. The officers for the year were as follows: president, Betty Schaefer, vice-president, Fern Ditzlerg secretary, Charlotte Holtumg treasurer, Mayme Fowler. C810 Row I: F. Fuller, D. Steele, J.

Service! This was the byvvord and motto of the Lettermen's Club, the largest organization of boys in the school. Throughout 9 I the school year the club was always eager and willing to donate its services to any worthy cause. The original purpose of the club was to form a more compact organization among the F men in the school, to create more interest in athletics by en- couraging the younger boys to try out for the various teams, and to promote better understanding of the meaning of awards in major sports. The forty boys in the club this year have all co-operated in carrying out this purpose, their success can best be measured by the large number of fellows reporting for sports and by the fine attendance and support of the student body at the various athletic contests during the school term. Under the supervision of Mr. Hunter, the Lettermen took charge of the refresh- ment stand at the football games. From the proceeds of this project the club obtained the funds to put on their annual spring picnic, at which time new members were initiated into the club. No rough initiation was held this year. The first and third Mondays of each month were set aside as Letter days, when each boy appeared in his colorful orange and black sweater. On these ap- pointed days were held the bi-monthly meetings of the club. The courteous and efficient ushering of the Lettermen at the basketball games and tournaments brought forth much favorable comment from the townspeople and visitors. The club also volunteered its services in assisting the management of the district band tournament in ushering and guiding the various bands. Much of the success of the Lettermen's Club is due to the eHiciency and ability of its officers. President Bill Kiester was assisted by Wilbur Popp, vice-president, David Dupee, secretary, and Stanley Schumacher, treasurer. Mr. Schwager was the faculty adviser. i' 0800 Row I: R. Decklar, N.

The highest honor that can be bestowed on any member of the high school is election to the National Honor Society. The UHO7' purpose of the club is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and ' to develop character in the students. The students who are admitted to the organization must be outstanding in the four principles of the society -scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The emblem of this organization is a keystone with a flowing torch which is symbolic of the value of a strong founda- tion through education. A faculty committee, consisting of Mr. Mensenkamp, Mrs. Scott, Mr. Kloos, Miss Bowers, and Mr. Fulwider, elected members at three different times, once during the junior year when twelve members were admitted and once during the senior year with twenty-three members being elected. The society sponsored the annual book drive, the club's main activity during the year. The drive, proving to be a great success, enlarged the number of volumes in the high school library. It was one of the most successful drives ever held, and many fine books were contributed by all of the students. The annual banquet given in May was a very enjoyable affair with many alumni members attending. The pledges were formally initiated at this time. Our very able faculty adviser, Mr. Mensenkamp, deserves a good deal of the credit for the success of the club. The ofiicers for this year were: David Dupee, president, John Bruce, vice-president, Norma Kochsmeier, secretary, and Mr. Mensenkamp, treasurer. C790 AC T 7X Q E LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL RESUME Dec. 1.

LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL SUMMARY Prospects shone brightly as the Freeport lightweights assembled for the initial practice of the 1933-34 season. Popp, Kinert and Baebler, lettermen, and reserves Rund, Fuller, Steele and Dean reported again to Coach Anderson from the 1931-33 team. These men and Gassman, Opel, Adelman, Ling, Crowell, Aue, Hepner, and Steinmetz who were up for their Hrst actual competition, furnished the hope for a successful season. The first semester confirmed the promising appearance of the Pretzels as they took six out of ten contests. Listed among their victories were Harlem Reserves, Depue Reserves, Elgin, West Waterloo Freshmen-Sophomore team, East Aurora and West Aurora. However, at the end of this semester Popp, Kinert, Baebler and Steinmetz were lost to the team. Popp, who was leading the conference in scoring, Baebler, a first-string guard, and Steinmetz, a reserve, were lost due to the nine-semester ruling. Kinert, a first-string forward, was lost to the heavies through surplus weight. Wade Gilliland was added to the roster at the start of the second semester, and Freeport used Ling, Gilliland, Gassman, Opel, Steele, Adleman, Dean and Fuller for the rest of the season. Stripped of three star players, the only three lettermen, Freeport lost their six games in the second semester. However, they played hard basketball and lost by such scores as 18-17, 16-14, and 30-7.8. At the end of the season letters were presented to Popp, Kinert, Baebler, Fuller, Gassman, Adleman, Dean, Ling, Gilliland, Steele and Opel. C730 W l Row I: W. Keister, S. Schumacher, D. Dupee, E.

Peterson HEAVYW1-EIGHT BASKETBALL SUMMARY But three lettermen, Captain Dave Dupee, Stan Schumacher, and Elmer Hilde- brandt, reported to Coach Kloos at the first call for candidates for heavyweight basketball. These three, aided by Jack Clark and Bill Keister, former lightweights, and Ray Glos, junior guard with some squad experience, combined to form the best team that Mr. Kloos has turned out in his four years as heavyweight mentor. Freeport played its best ball in defeating East Aurora and West Aurora, and in its successful march through the state elimination tournaments. After successive defeats at the hands of Elgin and West Aurora, the Pretz rallied to solidly trounce East High of Aurora, and go on to win a majority of their remaining games. Despite a heartbreaking defeat at East Aurora, the team turned and trimmed the West Auro- rans 31-16, while displaying one of the best ball possession offenses ever seen in the conference. The first few warmup games showed George Kloos that he had six first-class basketeers available for five positions. For a while this presented a serious problem, but it was finally settled by keeping Stan Schumacher, the sixth first-stringer on the bench for the first quarter and then inserting him for whichever one of his team- mates was not playing quite up to par. In Cap-Iiain Dupee, Freeport had the cleverest ballhandler and passer in Northern Illinois. e was named all-conference forward for the second year, and was given honorable mention on the all-state selection. , Wee Willie Keister, the other forward, was the most accurate setshot on the team and made up for any lack of size by his speed and aggressiveness. Jack Clark, another ex-lightweight, played a fine game at the pivot position, developing rapidly as the season progressed. Handica ped by a sprained ankle at the beginning of the season, Elmer Hilde- brandt, guardi, was slow in rounding into form and did not do his bestdplaying until the tournament games, where he played the same kind of ball that ma e him one of the most respected and feared guards in the Big Six during the 1931-33 season. Ray Glos broke into the line-up early in the year, learned rapidly, and soon proved his right to a regular berth. Red Schumacher always gave his best when he got into a game and was a great favorite because of his aggressive style of play. At an assembly held soon after the close of the season, the following were awarded letters: Captain Dupee, Elmer Hildebrandt, Jack Clark, Bill Keister, Stanley Schumacher, and Dave Peterson, seniors, and Ray Glos, junior. Other squad members who did not play enough to receive awards include: Erwin and Henke, centers, Kinert, forward, and Johnson and Fawver, guards. C720 5 I1 YQ C? 44 LIGHTWEIGHT RESUME or SEASON Sept. 7.2. The Pretzellettes gave some promise of the success to come as they mowed down the Rochelle reserves, 7.6-o. The winners looked good in every department of the game except pass-receiving, eleven of Keisrer's passes being dropped. Sept. 7.9. The heavy Mt. Carroll team suffered its only defeat, 17.-O, in this game. Two passes by Keister, which gained 70 yards, paved the way for the first touchdown. Running plays with Kinert carry- ing the ball scored the second. Oct. 6. Freeport swarmed all over the Joliet lightweights in the opening conference game and won by a I9-O score. The play of Rolly Volkers at end was outstanding. Oct. 13. Flawless blocking in front of the ball-carriers allowed Keister and Kinert to average nine yards every time they carried the ball, and the Pretzellettes overcame Rockford, their traditional rivals, zo-o. The teams left the field at the half with the score o-o, but Kinert, Keister, and Dean crossed the goal' line in the second half to claim victory. As a result, Freeport leaped into first place in the Big six light- weight standing, but the game proved costly, as C0-captain Vollcers, perhaps the best offensive and de- fensive player on the team, was injured and unable to play the rest of the SCZISOU. Oct. zo. Three quick touchdowns by Elgin in the second quarter quenched Freeport's hopes for a championship. Freeport rallied gamely in the last half and played some of the best football of the season, but Elgin held like a stone wall when its goal-line was endangered, and the Pretzellettes made but one touchdown. The final score was 19-6, but statistics for the entire game showed that Elgin gained only nine more yards than the home team. Oct. 7.7. A punting duel between Keister of Freeport and Druschel of East Aurora occupied almost the entire game, and honors were even. Freeport made the only threat of the game, but missed a touch- down because of a fumble on the eight-yard line. The game ended just as it started, o-o. Nov. 4. Still had a chance for the championship if Elgin lost its hnal game, so the Pretzellettes attacked West Aurora with a vim that brought a 31-O victory. However Elgin tied its closing game and remained in first place. Nov. II. The eighth play of the game, a 34-yard run by Kinert behind perfect interference, decided this contest in Freeport's favor, 6-o, as the season ended. 0690 HEAVYWEIGHT RESUME or SEASON September 7.7.A'A rebuilt Pretzel gridiron machine, containing but four lettermen from the '31 squad, displayed the makings of a line ball club as they defeated Rochelle I3 to o in the season's opener. The majors played heads up ball the first half but allowed the lighter Rochelle club to outdrive them the last half. The defensive work of Popp and Kerlin, and the line play of Acting Captain Miley were the bright spots of an otherwise ragged exhibition of football, September 7.94SllOVViI1g improved knowledge of fundamentals and expert timing, the-aggressive Freeport heavies ran rough-shod over a weak Polo eleven. Two freshmen, jim Kinney and Bill Hutton, half backs, showed up well and seemed to be assured of regular berths. The defensive work of the ends was again outstanding. October 6-Freeport opened the conference season by losing a close, hard-fought game to the Joliet majors 14-6, Jay Wardley, all-state quarterback, punted, passed, and ran his way up and down the Pretzel gridiron and also did most of the blocking and tackling for the Prison City backlield. jesse McGee, Freeport colored halfback was inserted into the backlield late in the game and electrilied the home crowd by several long runs, which coupled with a pass from Popp to Butlar, put the pigskin on the one-yard stripe, from where Georgalas plunged through tackle for our lone touchdown. October 13-Freeport's lirst road jaunt, to the lair of the traditional rival, Rockford, ended disas- trously as we came out on the wrong end of the 2.6-o score. After trailing 19-O at the half, the heavies came back with a rush and soon had the ball on the Forest City four yard line. An intercepted pass ended this threat and left the ball in mid-field for almost the remainder of the game. The one exception was a 54 yard dash by Benny Behr, Rab halfback, with another intercepted pass. October zo-Before the season's largest crowd, the Freeport heavies won their hrst conference tilt in two years, defeating the highly regarded Elgin Maroons by a I3-O count. Two new linemen, Fawver and Kiefer, injected new life into the Pretzel offense and also showed their mettle on the defensive. A clever bit of quick thinking by Pete Griffo scored the first six points for Freeport, On fourth down with less than a foot to go for a touchdown, Griffo called for a line plunge, but seeing that the hole was blocked, faked the ball to Georgalas and spun around his own right end for the score. Hutton ran 58 yards on a lateral pass play to score the second time. October 7.77ll1 a much more evenly contested affair than the final score would indicate, the Pretzels lost their second and last road game to East High of Aurora by a 19-o margin, Twice in the last quarter long runs from off-tackle plays brought success to the home team and a shivering crowd to its feet. The heavies missed Jack Blaekiston, regular tackle, who was ill. November 4-With but ninety seconds of play remaining, Bill Hutton dashed from the dusk of a November twilight to run 56 yards for a touchdown that broke a previous 7-7 tie between Freeport and West Aurora majors, and sent a large Homecoming crowd home, cheering over the lirst double conference victory in many a moon.

LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL SUMMARY For the first time since 1916, a Freeport High School lightweight football team was a contender for championship honors in the Big Six Conference when the 1934 squad reeled through a whirlwind season to six victories, one defeat, and one tie- The Pretzellettes, as they were popularly known, were in the running for the cham- pionship up to the last whistle of the autumn campaign, they hnally finished in second place behind Elgin. The guiding hand behind the Pretzellettes' destiny for the fourth consecutive season was Milton E. Schwager, who was assisted by George Kloos. At the outset the prospects were only fair but by careful handling of the new material and proper adjustment of the veterans to fill the gaps left from the preceding lineup, a powerful, well-rounded team was placed on the field. Although there are some who will recall the 1934 season with memories of Harry Kinert, an elusive, swivel-hipped ball-carrier, or Wee Willie Keister, a deadly passer and efficient punter, most followers of the Pretzellettes will think of the team as one whose superb co-ordination and admirable teamwork thrilled on- lookers and swept aside opponents for week after week of a hard season. Eleven players, working as a unit in perfect harmony, reflected the work of Coaches Schwager and Kloos, and expert blocking paved the way for long runs by the ball-carriers. At the end of the season, letters were presented to Gatz, Spencer, Volkers, Baebler, and Folgate, ends, Brubaker, Rust, Fox, and Libby, tacklersg Downs and Petta, guards, Hepner, center, Kinert and Rund, quarter-backs, Dean, Fuller, Maurer, and Keistcr, half-backs, and Hoelscher and Adleman, full-backs. 0670 Row I: W.

HEAVYWEIGHT FOOTBALL SUMMARY Despite the fact that he had but four eligible lettermen returning from last season, Roy Anderson turned out the best team in his short stay at the local school. Led by their honorary co-captains, Popp and Griffo, the team showed an aggressive spirit. This undoubtedly had much to do with their success on the gridiron during the season. A general lack of experience was made up for by a constant alertness and willingness to learn. Although he weighed but 140 pounds, Butch Popp was always in the thick of the fray, battling against boys who outweighed him considerably. Popp also proved his versatility by shifting from end to half-back when the occasion demanded. He and his fellow end, Bill Kerlin, were known as two of the hardest hitting ends in the conference, and were mentioned on several all-star selections. - Of the four tackles who saw considerable service, Cal Miley stood out. Big and aggressive, he could open huge holes for the backs and then lead the inter- ference as they got away for long gains. Jack Blackiston was lost from the squad in midseason, due to appendicitis. Several men alternated at the guard positions with Lawrence Huyck, a junior, showing much promise. Orville Fawver waited until almost the end of the season to clinch his bid for the center post, but soon was known as a fast moving, hard tackling pivot man. , The backfield was a galaxy of individual stars who often sacrificed chances of personal glory that a teammate might make a brilliant play. Playing his First year, Bill Hutton, who unfortunately will be lost through the twenty-year-eligibility rule, displayed the makings of a real star. Like all stellar ball-carriers, Hutton received terrific poundings from enemy linesmen, and because of this was unable to play the whole game in most instances. A husky little colored boy, MacArthur Butlar, played the other halfback position and handled it very nicely. Used primarily as a blocker, Butlar could carry the ball when those few yards were needed on the last down. Pete Griffo's quarterbacking improved with each game, and under his direction, Freeport employed a strong, well-balanced attack. Emmanuel Georgalas, a junior, was a fixture at fullback, being a powerful ball carrier and a hard tackling fullback. Coaches Anderson and Weber recommended the following players for heavy- weight letters: Ends, Popp, Kerlin, and Keifer, tackles, Miley, May, Kinney, and Blackistong guards, Evers, and Huyck, center, Fawverg backs, Griffo, Hutton, Butlar, and Georgalas. 0560 ,ayfimkf 79-WV-af-f!26' y,4f,f4.a-ff,f,eq4s,,S2,, 7 W' WM VQME-7,W-P-Qf1,3pw,V,W.,J Amfawf-M..,,..f fMm9M W'7,1WWJ4,W,,4JM X17 ZZLL x s N, .

At once they wisely chose to be led by Jack Criddle as president of their class, and by Joyce Knodle and Virginia Horning as vice-president and secretary-treasurer, respec- tively. After weeks of helpless wandering about the halls, these green freshies finally began to take their place among the high school's various extra curricular activities. Many of the boys responded to the call for football practice in the fall while still others attempted basketball and track. Those who were musically inclined were given places in the band. The surprised look on the new freshie's faces as they plodded up the long winding stair to the band room was most gratifying to upperclass band members. Those clubs which allow freshmen membership found them eager to join their ranks. In the support of the Senior Valentine Carnival, the freshmen displayed staunch loyalty to Jack Criddle and Jane Jungkunz, whom they had nominated for King and Queen of Hearts. Although we have known these youngsters for only one short school year, we feel confident that they as seniors in 1937 will endeavor to emulate the achievements of the present graduating class.

In the various fields of activities into which the students entered so eagerly as freshmen, they have with even more eagerness and diligence taken part again. In athletics, these sophomores gained letters: George Gassman, Paul Price, and Milo Adelman. In the support of the Senior Heart Carnival, the sophomores nominated Theresa Balles and Milo Adelman as king and queen of hearts. At other times when called upon for their aid hy the upper- classmen, these sophomores responded most willingly by their sincere co-operation. Although the sophomores have participated for only two years in the activities and program of Freeport High School, We are con- fident that they possess the perseverance and integrity to vvisely lead the affairs of the school when they become seniors in 1936. 0040 1936 Row I' L.

Seniors also vvere numbered among the leads of the operetta, Robin Hood. No gayer, more carefree evening was ever enjoyed at Freeport High School than the Senior Heart Carnival. The happy evening closed with the Coronation of Bill Kiester and Eleanor Hettinger, seniors, as king and queen of hearts. Apart from the benehts derived from direct intellectual pursuits, the unforgettable hours spent in association with the best of com- panions at Freeport High School will undoubtedly be most benehcial in shaping the future destiny of our lives.

With backward glancing eye they see their glorious past. As freshmen they entered with sure determination, the book and Polaris drives, clubs, and athletics. The band and orchestra claimed the young musicians, most of whom have for four years been members of these organizations. The main event of the sophomore year was, of course, the Sopho- more Oratorical Contest in which John Bruce and Bill Healy ranked first and second. Dramatic talent was brought into fine display when as juniors they presented their class play, Adam and Eva, with David Dupee and Rachel Shoenhard playing the leads and supported by an able cast. The prom, a Southern Excursion, with which the class entertained the Seniors was indeed a beautiful and successful affair. The active, enjoyable senior year was lead by William Healy, president, Wilbur Brubaker, vice-president, and George Schirmer, secretary-treasurer, with Miss Kell as adviser. The large group of senior boys who have earned letters are as follows: David Dupee, Stanley Schumacher, Bill Kiester, Elmer Hildebrandt, David Peterson, Jack Clark, Pete Grififo, Fred Baebler, Don Opel, Monroe Hartfield, Wilbur Popp, Orville Fawver, Lowell Evers, Kenneth Downs, Wilbur Brubaker, Rollin Volkers, Fred Hoelscher, John Mauer, Don Hepner, Nick Petta, Edwin Rund, and Ford Fuller.

University of Indiana, Graduate Study University of Chicago and University of Wis- consin. Mr. Fulvvider has been Principal of Freeport High School since 1904. The Uni- versity of Illinois and the North Central Associa- tion rate the scholastic standing of Freeport High School in the lirst division, one ofthe few large High Schools so rated. Mr. Fulvvider's Administration and Supervision was judged by the inspectors distinctly superior. 4 B. F. SHAFER SUPEIUNTENDENT FREEPORT SCHOOLS M. A. University of Chicago. B. S. and B. A. University of Valparaiso. Mr. Shafer has been superintendent of Freeport Schools since 1919. Largely because of Supt. Shafer's eflicient busi- ness management of the schools system, the schools will run the full ten months, and teachers have been paid in full each pay day. The High School appreciates the line co-operation of Super- intendent Shafer. PAQ 72 emoriam The death ofMiss Marion Stephenson, art director at both Junior and Senior High Schools, brings deep sorrow to all of us, to whom she has been a real friend and an inspiration. The vision which she gave to those with whom she was associated will be a part of them always. The Art staff of each Polaris since 193 1 has depended on her, and she always cheerfully responded. In these books and in her paintings she will always live. mid 206621 if DUN ZWV5 Book I . Book II . Book III Book IV . .
