SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS -' JAMES FARRINGTON ' President MARIE MITCHELL Vice-President ROBERTA BEED Secretary LOIS WEBER Treasurer MRS. SWANSON Adviser MR. KOENIG Adviser I Senior Class History ANCHORS AWEIGH! In September 1930, 275 freshmen composing the class of 34 shouted this farewell and started out on the high seas of learning. Immediately after losing sight of land we elected the following officers: Charles Farrington, captain, Lawrence Breimer, first mateg Marion Moore, keeper of the logg and Marie Dell, purser. Ma Swanson was on deck directing our course with true seamanship. We headed straight for the Sea of Knowledge where We spent our time until April 24 when an event occurred which changed the plans for our future course. On this date we gave a Kids' Party, and the ease with which we captured the social honors from all other contestants seemed nothing short of piracy. Thus it was that we became a pirate crew boldly setting out to acquire all the treasure we could discover. After a brief shore leave, we again set sail, more experienced and better able to guide the ship toward our goal. Realizing that even soph- omores needed leaders we chose the following: Roberta Beed, captaing James Cain, first mateg Albert Lundberg, keeper of the logg and Charles Farrington, purser. Ma Swanson filled the role of coxswain of the bold pirate band. Pirates are naturally good athletes. Consequently, Carl Davies cap- tured a position on the Varsity basketball team and Charles Farrington, Eleven 'Twelve Louie Bednar,- and Virgil Palm vanquished all other positions. On March 17 the deck echoed with the shouts of the ha?ppy revelers whom we were entertaining in true St. Patrick's style. In April, as a warning to the upperclassmen of our intentions in the future we took second place in the Hardscrabble contest, ending our second year in a most successful manner. We set sail for our third year with the spirit of true buccaneers for we knew that hard work and rough sailing would be encountered shortly. With Mrs. Swanson and Mr. Friedman as co-pilots, we elected the following officers: Roberta Beed, captain, James Farrington, first mateg Annette Friedman, keeper of the log, and Grace Kollar, purser. Our course was indeed a strenuous one and it took all the skill and knowledge acquired during the previous years to keep the ship in its course. Again Davies, Farrington, Palm, and Ketchmark proved themselves to be true pirates by acquiring coveted postitons on the team and by dealing destruction to practically all opponents from other lands. A Barn Dance, a Mystery Dance, and an operetta, Ask The Professor kept us busy until the month of May, at which time we set out for the frozen north. On May 26, amid ice and snow, we presented the Junior-Senior Prom, the last social event of our third year. We began the last lap of our voyage with all sails to the wind and lost no time in selecting the following leaders: James Farrington, captaing Marie Mitchell, first mate, Roberta Beed, keeper of the log: and Lois Weber, purser. With Mrs. Swanson again at the helm assisted by Mr. Koenig, we threw ourselves wholeheartedly into the task before us-to load our ship with a precious cargo of knowledge and experience and then to bring it safely into port. Our stalwart mates Davies, Farrington, Reynolds. Tremper. Johnson. and Sopher continued to capture honors on both football and basketball teams. A capable group was selected to put forth a manuscript in which all of the records of our voyage might be preserved. Other members of the crew worked continuously to finance this undertaking. by sponsoring a Corridor Dance, the annual Senior Dance, and a St. Patrick's Day Dance. Success crowned their efforts and at last the Hardscrabble was assured. In our four years of piracy we had encountered many obstacles. We were continually battling Depression, our deadly enemy, which seemed to balk us at every turn. In these battles we usually emerged victorious but we were not always so fortunate in the skirmishes which occurred daily with our textbooks. However, in April we found'that 160 members of our class had survived to take part in the farewell activities. On May 22, the main dining room of our ship rang with rollicking old pirate ballads as we, with the faculty as our guests, gathered together for an evening of gaiety. Good food and informal entertainment, under the direction of toastmaster James Farrington, made the evening one to be long remembered. With this gala event our ship docked in port and our final week as seniors was at hand. Baccalaureate and Class Night followed in quick succession. Then with the coming of graduation on June 8, we received the most coveted treasure of all-our diplomas. Cecil M. Horaney. A in P GENEVIEVE L.

High School GymI1aSil1TY1 Address to Graduates Whither Youth by The Reverend Paul Sheldon Johnson TwcntyfSix JUNIORS Class History IN the fall of '32 we came to Streator High, 225 wide-eyed and ex- tremely bewildered freshies. After waiting until we were thoroughly acquainted and had enlarged our class with 75 mid-year freshmen we elected the following class officers: George O'Connell, president, Peg Baer, vice-president, Betty Jane Roe, secretary 3 Jack J acobowitz, treasurer, and Miss Stingley, adviser. We gave the traditional Kid's Party and transformed the gym into a nursery, complete in every detail even to very appropriate wall-paper. It was a huge success and even the upper classmen had to admit that we were a great class. We further proved ourselves to be energetic by having many members of our class participate in the other school activities. The next fall we came back to school sophomores! Our progress during the previous year had lessened that uncomfortable feeling and had made us feel quite important. For class officers this year, we chose Bernice Samors, president, George Kmetz, vice-president, Fred Richards, secretary, Ruth Beall, treasurer, and Miss Stingley and Mr. Mulford, advisers. Wth such efficient members to guide us we naturally anticipated an active year and we weren't disappointed. Many sophomores were prominent in athletics, and in the various clubs that were organized. This year we gave a Pirate Dance. We ob- tained the proper atmosphere by requiring everyone to walk the plank upon entering the gym. The dancers costumed appropriately, presented an overwhelming array of bandanas, sashes, earrings and flashy colors. We're Juniors! Realize it, if you can! We started 06 the most active year of our high school career with a bang! Jack Jacobowitz was elected president. The other officers were Francis Lux, vice-president, Albert Lundberg, secretary, Mary Lois Shaughnessy, treasurers and Miss Stingley and Mr. Mulford, advisers. Again our class was well represented in all forms of athletics. These juniors were active as varsity men: Swede Lundberg, Morrie Losey, Butch Lux, Link Davis, and George Schultz, in football, Larry Breimer, Virgil Palm, and Swede Lundberg in basketball. We gave two very successful dances this year. One after the Streator- Pontiac football game, and the other on April 6, both of which furnished ample proof that we juniors possess unexcelled ability when it comes to real entertainment! On April 19, and 20, we presented a comedy, The Red-Headed Step-Child, which provided a lot of laughs for the large audiences that came to see it! There was much excitement and suspense until, on the night of May 4, we juniors gave the seniors a very lovely Prom and so closed our activities for one more year! We treasure the memories of our mishaps and conquests in the past three years, and we'll be on board next fall for one final tumultuous spree of activities. Peg Baer.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY IN the fall of 33 over two hundred prospective pupils swarmed the halls of Streator High School, all eager to take the hurdles of learning for better or worse. With judgment so excellent that it belied our inexperi- ence, we chose for our class officers, Edith Stephens, president 3 Jeanne Hill, vice-president, Joe West, secretarys Maxine Stransenback, treasurerg and Miss Powell and Mr. Bland, co-advisers. Casimer Fosler, Lyle Hill, Grant Pile, and Charles Shorty Redd up- held our honor on the athletic field. Our social talents, we boldly displayed by the Story Book Ball, a complete success. This year, our good judgment unimpaired by a year of delving into higher learning, we chose Michael Malley for our presidentg Billy Grant, vice-president, Joe West, secretary, and Bob Smith, treasurer. Eunice Mason, in charge of the candy sales, took advantage of the sweet tooth weakness of our fellow students and bolstered our finances sufficiently to allow us to give our very successful spring dance, the Artist's Ball. Our basketball players Grant Pile, Casimer Fosler, Lyle Hill and Shorty Redd did their part again, Lyle Hill and Shorty Redd obtaining berths on the varsity. Bob Smith, Mike Malley, and Bill Reed, a varsity man, gave the sophomores additional right to hold up their heads during the football season. Altogether, we feel that we have completed two very successful years, and we are eagerly looking forward to the next fall when we hope to adequately fill the important position of the Juniors.

FRESHMAN HISTORY ON September 3, 1934, more than 300 bewildered freshmen embarked upon the good ship STHS which was scheduled to sail the dark and stormy waters of the Sea of Knowledge. After the excitement of becoming mem- bers of the bold pirate crew had passed, we accepted the advice of our superiors and elected the following officers to pilot our group throughout the year: Dean Raymond, skipper, Ralph Harkless, first mate, Rosemary Katcher, keeper of the log, William Hombaker, steward 3 and Miss Purcell and Mr. Baysinger, pilots. Everyone was busy the first few weeks getting acquainted with his surroundings although the bracing breezes caused some to complain of school sickness. One morning our steward came forth with the cry that we were headed toward the rocks of bankruptcy. The skipper called upon the galley for assistance in launching our candy sales. Needless to say that everyone responded and pleasing results were obtained. From our crew of lads a freshman team was organized that met the Hi-Y team and teams from other towns on the athletic court. Splendid work was done by John Matuszyk, George Mital, Wesley Wilhite, Ralph Harkless, and Bob Ryon. Many other members of our crew were always among the lists of those who had conquered algebra, Latin, history, English, etc., and Alvin Jacobson and Betty Anthony brought us glory with their musical ability. The last lap of our cruise as freshies was climaxed by a Freshman Frolic held in the gymnasium. Confetti, bright lights, and gay music aided in giving everyone the time of his life. Phyllis Garver.

Tl1i'rtyfSix BATTLES BATTLESi. Our quest for treasure would not have been a profitable one without the guid- ance of our principal and faculty. They have been our faithful friends and allies throughout all the battles of school life. PRINCIPAL MR. C. L. JORDAN Principal LAND HO! Another cruise of the good ship S T H S is nearing an end. From the crow's nest the objective has been sighted. A senior crew, weathered by years of duty, soon will be put ashore. The duty has not been easy. A pirate cruise is fraught with numerous trials and hardships. Life at sea is exacting. The log shows that some of the crew earned their sea-legs early. Others carried on under trying circumstances. Some land-lubbers faltered along the way. But to those who have stood by, the rewards are at hand. Piped above and below in storm and calm, detailed to various tasks from hold to bridge, complimented and reprimanded because of successes and failures, the faculty officers finally have brought the senior crew to the land of the hidden treasure. The paths are many in this strange land. Some lead to mountain heights and some to chasm depths. Once ashore, each member of the crew must choose his trail. Earnestly it is hoped that the years aboard the S T H S may have given strength of mind and body and a wholesome, well-rounded philosophy of life to guide each de- parting member of the crew to his hidden treasure. Some have not completed their enlistments. The underclass members of the crew will take leave on a short furlough and will stand by for another voyage next year. The pirate ship will lie at anchor during the summer and will shove off next September. Land Ho! C. L. Jordan. Tlzirty N nc Forty THE ,-A. --vm--Y--.

L. Jordan and with the cooperation of the Board of Education. Last year all subjects in the curriculum were classified under four courses: CD the college preparatory, for those students intending to go to college, f2J the commercial course, for those students interested in business pursuits, Q31 the industrial course, for those interested in indus- trial and mechanical pursuits: Q45 and the homemaking course, for girls who desire training in the arts of homemaking. This year, one new course and several new subjects have been added to the curriculum. On account of the fact that the school enrollment in- cludes so many students from the rural districts, a new course, Vocational Agriculture, has been added. This course is under the direction of Mr. Baysinger, a new member of the faculty. Agriculture I is a course in crop production, including a scientific study of different soil compositions, ele- ments, seeds, etc. Agriculture II, a study of animal production, includes a study of beef cattle, dairy cattle, bees, poultry, etc. Agriculture III, a course in farm management, includes a scientific study of the latest methods of organization. Agriculture IV covers a study of farm mechanics. Every student of Agricultural Education must be definitely interested in farming as a life work and must conduct a farm practice project while he is enrolled in high school instruction. The Music Department is under the direction of Mr. Lyon, a new member of the faculty. Mr. Lyon directs the band and orchestra, gives group instruction in stringed instruments, Woodwinds, and brassesg has charge of all vocal music, and teaches classes in harmony. Miss Cook, teacher of physics and chemistry, and Mr. Notman, teacher of biology, filled the vacancies in the Science Department. Because of a THE SCHOOL new requirement that all students graduating from this high school must have completed one year of laboratory science, the enrollment in biology was greatly increased this year. Miss Weinstein, director of Girls' Physical Education was given the over-flow classes in this subject. The Home Economics Department experienced a considerable increase in enrollment this year. Miss Rogers was employed half-time in order to handle two classes in beginning foods and clothing work. The print shop has been greatly improved under the direction of Mr. Charlton, another new faculty member. All machinery and equipment in this shop has been thoroughly reconditioned. Some new equipment has been added. In addition to the regular instruction in this shop, the student workers printed various posters, programs, tickets, hand bills, and other specialties for athletic contests, plays, band concerts and many other school activities. Mr. Charlton also taught one class in woodworking. To meet the need of certain students deficient in social science training, a course in Community Civics was added this year. This new experiment is being conducted by Mrs. Swanson and Mr. Charlton. Materials that stress better citizenship have been handled in these classes. Speech training has been made available for the students this year. The classes under the direction of Mr. Koenig have been taught the funda- mentals of good speech. The pupils have gained practical experience through giving talks, both prepared and extemporaneous, before the other members of the class. The large mid-year freshman class made an extra teacher necessary. Miss Sonia Miller, formerly connected with the English Department as reader of themes, was hired to teach classes in English I and American History. I An innovation of last year which was continued during the present year was the assign- ment of all student yearbook editors to a special class which met for one period daily during the s e c o n d semester. All literary and art material, and mounting and sizing photographs, in fact the complete year- book is worked out in this class under t h e direction o f Miss Hall.

We may well write of those students who have conquered by athletic prowess. Our aggressive teams have made many oppo- nents wallc the planlc and have seldom suffered defeat at the hands of others. BOYS' ATHLETICS LOWELL DALE- Pops, as usual, made his name renowned throughout the state by turning out another excellent basketball team. For the third time in suc- cession he coached his basketball team to a Big Twelve conference victoryg however, the title this year was shared with Mattoon. Mr. Dale came to Streator High as director of athletics in 1918. During this time he has produced fourteen District winners. His team, this year, after winning the District, overcame the Sectional jinx, thereby gaining the right to represent this section at the State finals. COACH DALE X EDWARD BLAND- Red, as in previous years, proved his ability as assistant coach. He was placed in charge of the direction of the backfield during the football season, and was coach of the Freshman Varsity basketball team which was organized this year for the first time. Baseball, in which Streator had made ex- cellent records under Mr. Bland's coaching, was again dropped from the athletic schedule. Consequently Red devoted his efforts to coaching a new and inexperienced track team. l COACH BLAND The report on sports activities would not be complete without a word of appreciation for the helpful assistance of Mr. Notman, Mr. List, and Mr. Charlton, members of the faculty. Mr. Notman assisted Mr. Dale in coaching the line during football season, while Mr. List, a most efficient business manager, had charge of all ticket sales and arrangements for all the games. Mr. Charlton contributed unlimited time in coaching the cheerleaders and planning and drilling HART' NICHOLAS, SMITH clever stunts for all the pep meetings. At the beginning of the year a class of cheerleaders was organized. When the basketball season began, Samuel Nicholas, Jack Hart, and Arthur Smith were chosen from this group to lead the student body in cheering. Under their leadership enthusiasm and pep spread among the students, pro- ducing one of the most spirited and best organized cheering sections in this r part of the state. Fo1tyfSe1Jen BASKETBALL 1933-34 BASKETBALL was again King of Sports in Streator High. The students and fans showed more than customary enthusiasm as our team was one of the strongest in the history of the school. The season proved to be exciting and full of thrills, as the majority of the games were won or lost by a margin of but two or three points. Streator High School had its share of championships this year as the Bulldogs tied with Mattoon for first place in the Big Twelve conference and played wonderful ball to annex the District and Sectional champion- ships. The team also proved that the Illinois style of basketball was far superior to that of West Virginia when it defeated Sisterville, 38-22, in an intersectional battle during the Christmas holidays. In the Big Twelve conference Streator played two games each with Danville, Peoria Central, Peoria Manual, and Pekin, and single games with Springfield and Mattoon. Streator participated in but two overtime games this year, one of them being played with the Centralites. The score was tied with a long shot made by Davies in the last few seconds of play, after which Ducky Hill made a long shot in the overtime period to shove Streator ahead 27-25. In the Peoria Manual game the Bulldogs staged a fourteen point rally in the fourth quarter and won in the last minute of play when Farrington made two free throws. Exciting non-conference games were played with Thornton High of Harvey, Ottawa, Canton, and Waterman. Of these the game with Thornton, 1933 State Champs, was the most outstanding. The lead alternated during the whole game and Streator led in the last few seconds, but Thornton made a final spurt to win, 22-20. The game with Ottawa did not become exciting until the last half when the McKaymen crept up on the Bulldogs. But the Streator boys, by clever playing, held the two point lead until the gun sounded. The Bulldogs met their second defeat of the season in the return match with Canton losing by a score, 25-23. The boys were leading until within a few minutes of the end when Canton staged a belated rally which the Bulldogs could not stop. The last game of the schedule was played with Waterman, a strong team from the northern section of the state. As usual the Bulldogs led all of the way but Waterman kept fighting and tied the score just as the gun sounded. Losey, substitute guard, made a basket in the overtime period to put Streator ahead 27-25. A Waterman player was fouled immediately after, however, he made but one shot good and Streator closed the season with a victory, 27-26. F orty Eight BASKETBALL Schedule Opponent Marseilles .,......

Forty Nine Fifty BASKETBALL Personnel -- Regulars CAPTAIN CARL DAVIES - Carl played a steady game during the whole season. He handled the ball cleverly and usually came through with a basket in time of need. Carl has played three years of Varsity ball and his shoes will be hard to fill next year. CHARLES FARRINGTON - Chuck lived up to all expectations as guard on the Varsity. His playing was always consistent and he usually accounted for several baskets in every game. Two of Chuck's notable traits were his coolness on the floor and his ability to think quickly under fire. VIRGIL PALM- Virg was considered the fightin'est member of the team. His quick pivot under the basket usually meant two points in Streator's favor. It gave him the distinction of entering each game a marked man. Virg scored 257 points during the season and was high point man. ALBERT LUNDBERG - Swede was the tallest member of the squad, and he used his height to good advantage by taking the ball off the backboard and keeping possession of it until a teammate was open. Although a junior, Swede will be ineligible for play next year as he was forced out of school for one semester on account of sickness. LAWRENCE BREIMER- Pinch was the new regular on the varsity, playing at the position of forward. His defensive game was very good and he made many side shots. This is his last year of Varsity ball and he will be greatly missed next year. A Hard Five To Beat FARRKNGTOLI PALM DAVIES LUNDBERG BREIMER BASKETBALL Personnel -- Substitutes ARTHUR WILKINSON- Art showed great improvement after being shifted to the Varsity. He played a good game as a forward and could be depended upon in the pinches. He is still eligible to play two more years. MAURICE LOSEY - Maury played as substitute guard all season. He played good ball at all timesg but made the best showing in the Water- man game when, in the overtime period, he scored the winning basket. He will be back for one more semester. LYLE HILL- Ducky the long shot artist of the team always scored a few seconds after entering the game. He has a good eye for the basket and he should play regular forward in his next two years at Streator High. EARL DIXON - Jumbo played with the All-Staters and Bulldogs during the whole season. He did not enter many games but he should develop into a good guard as he is only a freshman. CHARLES REDD- Shorty was one of the fastest men on the team. This made up for what he lacked in size. His pivot and one-handed shots usually added to Streator's lead. Watch him go in the next two years. In a sports writers selection for outstanding players of the Illinois Valley, the following Streator players were given positions on the first All-Star team: Farrington, forwardg Lundberg, centerg Palm, forwardg and Davies, guard. A Good Team Has Good Subs WILKINSON LOSEY HILL DIXON REDD Fifty'O1'Le BASKETBALL Tournaments IN the District Tournament which was held at Streator, the Bulldogs did not meet much competition. The only game which was of any interest in the Sectional Tournament at Pontiac was the Peoria Manual contest. It was nip and tuck all the way through and Streator won by means of a hard fought rally in the last few minutes of play. In Streator's first game in the State finals at Champaign the Bulldogs were defeated by a much faster Thornton team.

Fiftyffhree FOOTBALL APPROXIMATELY sixty enthusiastic boys including five regulars from last year's team reported at the first call for candidates. Coach Dale and his assistants worked hard to mould a well functioning team, but the Bull- dogs could not seem to get together this year and went through the season without winning a single game. The season got off to a poor start when the Bulldogs were defeated by Pontiac 7-0, on a very muddy field. The next three games were played out of town against Big Twelve opponents. Danville defeated the Bulldogs 20-6 with Woll running fifty yards for the lone touchdown. Following the Danville game the Dalemen were overwhelmed 34-0 by Springfield's heavier and experienced team. The next game was taken by Central, 37-7. Then Mattoon won in a driving rainstorm 14-6, the game turning into a punting duel. In the next two games he Bulldogs lost in the last quarter being defeated by Pekin 26-6, and by St. Bede 26-7. The final game of the season ended with Streator outfighting the giant Manualites to a scoreless tie.

In all games he was in every play and- his block- ing was outstanding. His size and his ability to snap the ball I to the backfield are qualities which will be hard to replace next season. He received hon- orable mention in the Big Twelve Conference. Graduating S Men CHARLES FARRINGTON- Chuck, playing his first year of varsity ball, proved to be a valuable member of the team. His clever passing accounted for several touchdowns. His position in the backfield will be hard to fill. Chuck was placed on the second Big Twelve All-Star team. RAY SOPHER- Bubbie started the season in the backfield but was switched to a tackle position where he was used to bolster up the line. WILLIAM TRIEMPER- Bill did not appear in the regular line-up until the last few games of the season: but his short time at tackle position was well spent. JUNIOR REYNOLDS-Junior played at substitute tackle in but few games as he was troubled during the whole season by an injury received in one of the early practice scrimmages. RALPH JOHNSON-Ralph substituted at end showing lots of fight in the games in which he played. Other players who received letters were: Lux, guard, Kerestes, half- backg Sullivan, end, Rizzo, guard, Beall, halfbackg Solon, end: Schultz, guard, Redd, quarterbackg Davis, halfbackg Losey, fullbackg and Harkless, halfback. SOPHER TREMPER FARRINGTON JOHNSON REYNOLDS H Fifty-Five T R ik C K AN effort was made to make track one of the major sports of the school this year. A meeting was held late in March at which all boys, particularly the freshmen and sophomores, were urged to try out for the team. This call was answered by a group of 35 candidates who were put under the direction of Coach Bland. The team was inexperienced and did not make many points in the meets attended but, with the large group of freshmen and sophomores that did not come out for practice, better teams should be developed in the future. Those members who show promise are: Hardgrove, Palanos, Wilhite, Ryon, Farrington, West, Mohan, and Nicholas. Members of the team who scored points for Streator were: Windus, L. Davis, H. Davis, Redd, Pile, Mohan, Preston, West, Hardgrove, Wilhite, and Palanos, SCHEDULE Meet Place Date Relay Carnival ........ ........

Weinstein, the girls' athletic instructor has just finished another successful year at Streator. She has charge of the physical education of the sopho- mores and freshmen, directs the play of the upper classmen, and is indispensable as the leader of G. A. A. The club has grown rapidly under her able supervision and she has had the honor this year of presenting the State Emblem to one of the members. This is the first time since the G. A. A. was founded in Streator that Miss wmmsrmn anyone has been presented with this award. The major share of credit for the success of the G. A. A. year belongs to Miss Weinstein, whose interest and enthusiasm have been an inspiration and encouragement to all who have worked and played with her. Play Day THE Girls' Athletic Association of the high school was hostess at a Play Day held here on October 21, 1933. The following schools were guests: Kankakee, Dwight, La Salle, and Pontiac. In all, one hundred and twenty- five girls took part in the events. The object of the Play Days is to establish friendship between the girls and the neighboring schools. The girls do not play on their own school teams, but are divided into color teams made up of girls from each school. In this way friendship is promoted and rivalry between schools is prevented. The program started with a gathering in the gymnasium. After a get acquainted game had been played, a cheer was given by each color team. Principal C. L. Jordan then gave the welcoming address, after which relay races, basketball shooting contests, and volleyball tournaments were held. At twelve o'clock lunch was served in the cafeteria, and at one o'clock the girls returned to the gymnasium where songs, stunts, and speeches were given, and awards made to the winning teams. The program of the day was brought to a close with social dancing. The Girls' Play Day committee consisting of Marie Dell, LaVerne Peters, Lucille Fornero, Ronelva Shaw, Regina Averweg, and Marcella Ploskunak, assisted Miss Weinstein in making the Play Day a huge success. Telegraphic Meet MANY girls who had gone out for basketball and who were otherwise eligible entered the Telegraphic Tournament of basket-shooting. The object is to make eight baskets out of twenty-four tries from eight different angles on the Hoor. The winner in our district, No. 9, was Tiskilwa, with Kempton placing second, and Malden third. The girls making the required number of baskets from Streator were: LaVerne Peters, 8 out of 125 Mary James, 8 out of 205 Katherine Harrison, 8 out of 203 Tessamae Johnson, 8 out of 245 and Regina Averweg, 8 out of 24.

Clara Ivison was elected as manager. The Mudberry Maids won the championship by taking the first and third games of the tournament, while the Clabber- bottom Lassies captured the second. Basketball THE basketball season opened in October with eighty girls reporting. This group was divided into five teams, two freshmen teams, captained by Christina Salatag two sophomore teams, captained by Lucille Shaw, and a junior-senior team, captained by Marie Dell. Jean Hart was elected manager. The final games were played November 15, 1933. A very exciting game which decided the championship, was played between the junior- senior yellow team and the sophomore blues. The former won 24 to 22 after avery breath-taking over-time period.

Practices were held each Monday and Wednesday evenings. SCHEDULE OF TOURNAMENT Bulldogs 41 vs. Scrappers 38 Bulldogs 52 vs. Scrappers 21 Bulldogs 55 vs. Scrappers 26 Baseball 1933 THIRTY-three girls reported for baseball last season and elected Ruth Beall manager. Because of the few girls who came out for the sport only two teams were organized, namely the Cardinals and the Robins. The captains of the two teams were Ronelva Shaw of the Cardinals and Clara Ivison of the Robins. Because of a rainy season only two games were played during the tournament with the Cardinals capturing the champion- ship by defeating the Robins 3 to 0 and 10 to 3 in a double-header. Fifty Nme Sixty G. A. A. GIRLS, athletics center about the activities of the G. A. A. This organization, sponsored by Miss Weinstein, endeavors to encourage girls to participate in all branches of athletics and to reward them for their accomplishments. While teaching its members to Play the Game, it also teaches them to be modest in victory as well as gallant in defeat. Its highest ideal is to equip them mentally as well as physically for life. The goals of each member of the club are the local and state awards. To obtain these a girl must earn a required number of points, in athletics, scholarship, and sportsmanship. The award of the class numerals requires 600 points. A second local award is given for 1200 points and the state award for 1600 points. The highest award is the state emblem which requires 2000 points. The following girls received awards: Class Numerals: Regina Averweg, Louise Hersheway, Jeanne Hart, and Edith Mitchell. School Letter: Lucille Fornero, Leona Negray, Dorothy Hilger, and Ronelva Shaw. First State Award: LaVerne Peters and Marcella Ploskunak. Second State Award: LaVerne Peters. Although the G. A. A. is mainly an athletic club it also has its social side. A Christmas party was held for the members and their guests and later a mock track meet was enjoyed by the members. A play day and a picnic, at which time awards will be given to the girls who have earned them, have also been planned for this semester. Officers are elected at the end of the school year. The officers for the present year are: Marie Dell, presidentg Ronelva Shaw, vice-president, Lucille Fornero, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Weinstein, adviser. Back row: R. Andrews, M.

Miss Kuchenbecker WITH a slogan, To develop an interest in drama, the Dramatics Club was organized in October. This is the first year the high school has had a dramatics club and it was received with such fervor that it became one of the three large clubs of the school. All students who were interested in dramatics were invited to be members. A program committee was selected for each meeting, consequently, programs of different types were presented. Twice during the second semester the club presented a most enjoyable Evening of Plays. The program consisted of two one-act plays, The Drums of Oude by Strong, and The Trysting Place by Booth Tarkington. The Drums of Oude is a drama in which the action takes place in a military outpost in India during a revolt of the natives. The players, Charles Hoffman, Ruth Uebler, Edward Kollar, Thomas Walsh, Floyd Wilkes, and Steve Gutilla interpreted their roles in a most creditable manner. The Trysting Place, a comedy, was especially well presented by Charles Vance, Jean Chiavene, Edith Stephens, George North Taylor II, Carol Kirk, and Eric J auch. This program showed the presence of remark- able talent among the club members. Lighting, costumes, and properties were complete to the last detail. Musical numbers were presented before the performance and between acts by Bud Mohan and his band. Miss Kuchenbecker is to be congratulated for her fine work in making this evening a success.

Miss Winship THE Home Economics Club finished its third profitable year of work under the direction of Miss Winship. Organized with the purpose of developing leadership and forming a connecting link between the home and school, it attracts many members. It grew to be the second largest club in the school with an enrollment of 63 members. At the first meeting an initiation of new members was held and plans were made for a dancing party to be given on November 11. In December a Christmas party was held at which time the club was honored by being accepted for membership in the Illinois Home Economics Association. In order to join the association the club must measure up to the prescribed regulations and its objectives and programs must be approved. In Feb- ruary, instead of the usual meeting, the club visited Coppin's Dairy where the members were given an interesting explanation of the pasteurization of milk. The April meeting was a party in the gymnasium. A treasure hunt was the feature of the entertainment, after which refreshments, made by the food classes, were served. At the May meeting a committee consisting of Juanita Sherwood, Margaret Prendergast, and Marion Brown was appointed to make plans for a style show and a food display to be held late in the year. Orders were taken at this time for the N. H. E. Association pins. The excellent work of this organization was recognized by the State Association in the last issue of the Home Economics News Letter. This contained an article written by Juanita Sherwood telling of the various activities of the year. Hack row: M. Gutuk, L. Holinim, H. Lux, M. Brown, lt. Shaw, J. Sherwood, I.. Kozuk, M. Grim-, M.

Several dramatic sketches were presented in connection with these programs. Many of the advanced students took advantage of the opportunity to continue their correspondence with Spanish and South American students. Virginia List was a sucessful contestant in a National Cross Word Puzzle Contest sponsored by the La Luz Publishing Company. Various realia were collected during the yearg this was an interesting way to call atten- tion to Spanish and Mexican pottery, baskets, fans, and mantillas. The club is very grateful to Mrs. Vernon LeRoy for her interesting lecture on her trip to Mexico, and to the Spanish Department of the Manual Training High School of Peoria, Illinois, for a copy of Cancionera Espanola. The social activities included a spring dancing party given in the gymnasium on April 10. Bud,' Mohan and his band furnished the music. Back row: A. Johnson. 'l'. Walsh, G.

M iss Conness THE Latin Socii enjoys the distinction of being one of the oldest clubs in the school having been organized in 1922. Membership is open to students of Latin and the programs are planned to promote a fuller appre- ciation of Roman life and literature. Many illustrated talks were given during the year. At the November meeting slides were shown on the Aeneid . At the February meeting Miss Nachtreib showed snapshots of Pompeii which she had taken on her trip abroad. She also gave interesting descriptions of Rome and Pompeii. Howard Swift and Gerald Jacobson discussed Roman Dress illustrating their talk by draping a Roman toga. The Roman House was described by Charlotte Blakemore, and Esther Tejeda spoke on Latin in the Home Today . She showed how many utensils and pieces of furniture in the modern homes are directly connected with Latin words and customs. The club members were guests of the Ancient History Club at the December meeting at which Thomas Larkin told of his trip to Egypt. At all of the meetings, after the programs had been given, cross-word puzzles, j ig-saw puzzles, and Latin games provided much amusement. Not to be outdone by the other clubs this group replenished its treasury by a successful candy sale. Back row: M. Stransenback, T. Kidd, R. McGuire, G. Jacobson, V. Green, H. McGuire, E. Page.

Jean Robb and her committee consisting of Mary Lois Shaughnessy, Mabel Kennedy, and Carol Lee Smith arranged numerous programs. These in- cluded reports on the history, geography, and civilization of France given by Helen Dempsey, Margaret Maras, and Leonard Greenfield. An inter- esting play, La Poupee , was given by Sylvia Milazzo and George North Taylor II. In addition to these more serious programs Le Cercle Francais has enjoyed many social activities. In October a treasure hunt was arrangedg the victors, in a car driven by Beryl Pratt, were rewarded with a large pumpkin filled with candy. In December a Christmas party was given at the Holmes residence. In order to procure funds for the Hardscrabble picture a bridge party was held at the home of Miss Cadwell. Six tables progressed, the prize being won by Norma Jean Mehock. A candy sale was held in April as another means of securing funds for the Hardscrabble. As a conclusion to the year's activities the club, with their guests, including Mr. and Mrs. Jordan, held a steak fry at Marilla Park. A scavanger hunt followed in which the victors were Mary Lois Shaughnessy, James Farrington, William Tremper, Norma Holmes, George North Tay- lor II, and Sylvia Milazzo.

Miss Howland, Miss Pellouchoud, Mrs. Howells THE Scribblers' Club, a group of juniors, seniors, and post-graduates who are particularly interested in the study of English, re-organized in October, 1933. The purpose of this club is to encourage interest in correct expression in oral and written compositiong to develop a taste for good literatureg to develop ability in declamation, oratory, and acting, and to promote friendly social relations among the members of the club. The president appointed a program committee consisting of James Farrington, Ralph Johnson, Mary Ryan, John McDonald, and Roberta Beed. A varied program of readings, musical numbers, addresses, original essays, parliamentary drill, and a spelling contest was presented. It is recorded that Mary Ryan took the honors in spelling-a real achievement too, for the competition was keen. A most enjoyable address was that given by Mrs. Margaret Keating- Dunn, a graduate of the school, upon Great Americans . Mrs. Dunn handled her subject expertly and illustrated her talk with original verses and musical compositions. Another splendid address was that presented by Miss Hedwig Schoch of Ottawa, upon The Art of Dramatic Interpre- tation . Her work is always scholarly and impressive. Miss Schoch explained the necessity for voice placing, tone quality, and selection of actors according to types. The inevitable candy sale and the altogether delightful steak-fry or picnic afforded an opportunity for all to participate actively. Back row: A. Elias, J. Farrington, J. Jones, R. Johnson, H.

At the first meeting two program chairmen were appointed, Leona Emm from the biology section and Marjorie Johnston from the chemistry section. Katherine Jonen, a representative of the biology class, gave a talk on Bacteria , and Ralph Baxendale spoke on Scientific Tricks. Later the chemistry section secured Dr. Barton, a popular young member of the medical profession, to lecture on Medicine and Surgery of Today . Dr. Barton included in his talk, a discussion of cancer. He compared the percentage cured, with the death rate of several years ago, showing the advancement of science today in the medical field.

At the first meeting a rousing initiation of all members and the elec- tion of officers took place. The December meeting consisted of a showing of slides that explained and illustrated many of the Finer points of meteorology, chemistry, electricity, and astronomy. Mr. L. M. Tombaugh was the guest speaker at the third meeting. He presided at the meeting and after talking on the general topic Astronomy, he answered many questions about the sun, the moon, and the planets, and their ages and their distances from the sun and the earth. The annual club dance was held in the gymnasium on April 27. This was the most pretentious of all the club parties, as an eight-piece orchestra, Zeke Price's, played for the dancers from 8:30 until 11:30 p. m. The decorations were unique. Quantities of newspapers cut into strips and strung on wires from the balcony rails made an effective ceiling. The orchestra sat in front of a black curtain ornamented with a star, pre- sumably Arcturus, and a huge world. Ribbon rays of light darted to several points on the globe. Spot lights added the finishing touch. During intermission Eddie Soens played several accordion solos. The large crowd of dancers voted this party the best of the year. Rack row: R. Ugron, R.

Talks were given on puppetry and its history by Ellen Joy Pittman, and on stage construction by Francis Mair. Peg Baer gave a talk on the moving picture, I am Suzanne. This picture contained many scenes showing the operation of the famous Piccoli Marionettes. Other club members described the Tony Sarg Marionettes which they had seen at the Century of Progress. Several meetings were given over to the construction of puppet heads and other projects including Easter place cards. At one meeting Miss Hall gave descriptions of Les Syphidesn, Petrouchka , and Le Beau Danube , three ballets presented by the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe. On May 4 the club members were guests of the Womens' Club. At this time Professor Nicholson of the Art Department of the University of Illinois gave an illustrated lecture on The Impres- sionists and Post-Impressionistsn.

Lyon THE Music Club, another new club this year, was organized with the pur- pose of furthering an interest in music. Membership was not limited to students in the musical organizations alone, but was open to all students in the school who were musically inclined. The club met bi-monthly in the band room. At the first meeting a constitution was adopted, officers elected, and program chairmen appointed. lt was decided that students with musical ability should be given the opportunity to share it with the other club members, and to invite students, alumni, and adults to participate in the programs. All programs began with short discussions of different types of music. Excellent musical numbers were given at the various programs including Canzonetta and Valse from the Suite for three cornets by Mr. Lyon, Charles Hoffman, and Charles Millerg vocal solos by Virginia Madison, Louise McMillin, and Edward Soensg accordion solos by Edward Soensg a trombone solo, Liebestraum by LeRoy Walsworth: a cornet solo by Charles Hoffmang and violin solos, The Old Refrain and Second Mazurka by Alvin Jacobson. .

Miss Dorsey THE Ancient History Club is one of the youngest clubs in the school from the standpoint of membership as well as organization. It was organized this fall for the first time and its membership is limited to freshmen. Its purpose is to promote an interest in classical learning. At the first meeting the president appointed the following commit- tees: Program: Dean Raymond. Ruth Brehman, and Marjorie Phillips: Christmas Party: Eileen Bee, Irene Lantzer, and Walter Armstrong. The club members were guests of the Latin Club at their November and March meetings, where they were entertained with talks on Roman customs. In January they were the guests of the Spanish Club hearing Mrs. LeRoy lecture on her trip to Mexico. In December they were hosts to the Latin Club. At this time, Mr. Thomas Larkin spoke on his travels abroad. This was most interesting, particularly his description of Egypt. The April meeting was given over to plans for financing the Hard- scrabble page. It was decided to hold a candy sale and raffle. Frank Harrison, Marjorie Phillips, and Harriet Rowland had charge of arrange- ments, announcements, and the making and selling of chances. The sale was a huge success. Quantities of good candy were donated by the members and a delicious cake was donated by Mrs. Jacobson, mother of one of the club members. Back row: R. Kerr, F. Harrison, E. Fordyce, R. Brehman, H.

It was organized in October for the purpose of increasing interest in current happenings. At this meeting the president appointed the program committee. This consisted of Marion Teas, Frances Shedd, Walter Picker, Mark Anthony, and John Mohan, chairman. At the November meeting Charles Arnold and John Mohan gave talks on the Century of Progress. A Christmas program was held in December. A trio consisting of Mary Jean Boys, Mary Wilson, and Charles Arnold played several selections 3 this was followed by a talk on the origin of the Christmas customs of various countries by Marion Teas. At the conclusion of the program refreshments were served. The club is grateful to the Spanish Club for its invitation to hear Mrs. LeR.oy talk on her trip to Mexico, and to the Scribblers' Club for the opportunity it extended them to hear a talk on Modern History by Mrs. Margaret Dunn. At the March meeting talks on the League of Nations and the World Court were given by Martha Teas and on the Political Situation in America To-day by Frances Shedd. An innovation in dancing parties was made by this club. In December the museum was the scene of a matinee dance. Bud Mohan's orchestra furnished the music. In spite of the fossils which decorated the walls, and the slippery floor, a peppy time was had by all. Back row: J. Jennc-tt, C. Arnold, J. Mohan, C. Payne, W. Picker. First row: Miss Nicholas, M.

M iss Dorsey, Mr. Notman FOR the first time in the history of the Streator Township High School, the Post-Graduates have gained recognition as an organized class. At least three-fourths of the members of this class were graduates of the class of '33 and are taking active parts in this new organization. Having been the first class to organize this year, they were granted the honor of giving the first dance of the season. This was a Freshie Mixer, to which the Freshies were admitted free, making it a huge success, for in every nook and cranny of the gym were Freshie guests, beaming upon their hosts and hostesses, and dancing to the melodious strains of Zeke Price's orchestra. The Post-Graduates gave the last dance of 1933 in the museum, as the basketball season was in full sway and they were unable to give dances in the gym. It was a Christmas party with Zeke Price's orchestra playing. The admission fee was a nickel. Lollipop fiavors, Christmas trees, and a swell dance, all for a nickel. Imagine that! ! l Early in February, the officers held a meeting in Mr. Notman's room, to make plans for the donation of a glass-enclosed bulletin board for the school. The project was later taken up with the class, who voted unani- mously in its favor. We now have the honor of having donated a very useful gift to the school, one of which Mr. Jordan heartily approves. Another dance and a picnic at Starved Rock are to be held before the school year ends. Back row: lt. K1-nt, C. Holfnum, P. Gilbert, R. Halcott, P. 'I'aplc-y, li. Kmefz, E. lfunkm-uheinivr.

At this meeting James Farrington was honored by being elected vice-president of the Conference. Other members made a trip to Chicago where, through the courtesy of the Y. M. C. A. College, they were conducted through the Museum of Science and Industry. The Hi-Y Basketball team, as a member of the Y. M. C. A. Basket- ball League, participated in the Joliet tournament. The club made a good showing in the Pontiac Sports Carnival as several members made records in the swimming and billiard contests. In October the club sponsored a dance in the high school gymnasium.

Seventy Eight NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY THIS year through the efforts of our principal, Mr. Jordan, the Streator Township High School has gained membership in the National Honor Society. This society is national in scope being organized in 1921 under the sponsorship of the National Association of High School Principals. To become a member, a candidate must rank in the upper one-third of his class scholastically. He is then judged by the faculty upon three other qualities: leadership, service to the school, and character. Not more than fifteen per cent of the class may be chosen for membership. This honor, the highest which our school can extend, should be an inspiration and an incentive, as it is a reward for consistent eHort along scholastic lines. The emblem, a gold pin, which all members may wear, is a mark of distinction, its Wearers being extended more consideration in college and in other outside contacts. The members of the class of 1934 who received this honor are: Phyllis Armstrong Grace Kollar Roberta Beed Sylvia Milazzo Clarence Daugherity Marion Moore Arthur Elias Mary Ryan James Farrington Lola Sanderson Cecile Horaney George North Taylor II This group will meet, elect officers, and make arrangements for secur- ing a charter so that next year the society may take its place as an organ- ization which will set standards toward which the student body may strive.

Seventy Nme Eighty THE HARDSCRABBLE EARLY in December a group of seniors under the supervision of Mrs. Swanson and Mr. Fincham began a campaign for subscriptions for the 1934 Wardscrabble. By January they were assured that an annual could be financed successfully. The literary and art staffs and the stu- dent business managers were then announced. Lola Sanderson and Clarence Daugherity who were selected as co-business managers worked diligently with the senior solicitors and eagerly watched the number of subscriptions mount to 525, the largest number of annuals ever sold in our school in one year. By February 1 the literary and art staifs were at work. The senior editors, Mary Ryan, Sylvia Milazzo, and Willard Bruhns, began discussing the merits of each senior. At the same time Cecile Horaney began tran- scribing the activities of the seniors and the events of the past four years. Francis Mair and Louis Klein, the art editors, started work on the linoleum blocks which illustrate the theme of our book, and Jean Turk began com- piling data about the faculty and the school. With the completion of the basketball season in March the sports editors, LaVerne Peters and Samuel Nicholas, finished their writeups of the athletic activities. In the latter part of March, Norma Jean Mehock could be seen scampering through the halls gathering information about the various clubs-their purposes and programs. Smile and Look Pretty were the slogans of the photography editors, Eric Jauch and Lewis Benckendorf, throughout April as they Literary ancl Art Staff Back row: Lois Carpenter, LaVerne Peters, Lewis Benckendorf, Willard Bruhns, Eric Jauch, George N.

THE HARDSCRABBLE arranged the time and place for all class, club, and sports pictures. In addition to these tasks Eric Jauch also cut, pasted, and identified the pic- tures for the snapshot pages. By the end of April George North Taylor II had nearly completed the calendar and was busily working on the humor section. Irene Berry and Lois Carpenter had no idle moments, numerous hours being spent by both in typing all the material. Throughout this time the co-editors, Phyllis Armstrong and Arthur Elias, had been busy deciding upon the theme, conferring with the art editors as to the color and size of the illustrations, writing the introduc- tory and division pages, correcting and revising the copy, and reading proof. Supervising both the literary and art staffs was Miss Hall whose ever helpful guidance and whose thorough understanding of the planning and publication of the annual made the work easier and more enjoyable. The Foldenauer Studio, the Anderson Printing Company, and the Peoria Engraving Company all helped to make this Wardscrabble a reality. With the last proofs corrected and the book completed, the staff spent the last two weeks of May polishing their cutlasses, preparing to resist the onslaughts of all critics. The Editors.

Eighty Om: THE JUNIOR PLAY The Red-Headed stepchild PLOT WHOOPIE! rends the atmosphere of sophistication surrounding the Russell home and announces the arrival of Bess, the uncultured stepchild from the west. Although welcomed heartily by her father, Richard Russell, and by her brother, Dudley, Bess finds little love in the hearts of her step- mother and the society friends of the Russell family. However, through her kindness and generosity, Bess saves the family from financial ruin and loss of social prestige, wins the love of George Garrison, a Wealthy young man, and is no longer considered a Red-headed Stepchildf' The roles of this play were portrayed very vividly by the members of the Junior Cast under the capable direction of Mrs. F.

On Friday morning, April 27, it gave a concert for the students of the Ottawa High School, in return for a program given in Streator by the Ottawa Boys' Glee Club, and on Saturday, April 28, played several selections at the Illinois Valley Music Festival held in La Salle. A quartet composed of Mr. Lyon, Charles Hoffman, LeRoy Walsworth, and Charles Miller, played for various programs throughout the year, among them being the Junior play and the Vesper Services presented in several of the churches. The glee clubs are another important feature of the music department. The girls' glee club consists of thirty-nine members, and thirty-seven mem- bers are enrolled in the mixed glee.

Was it cold! -Mr. Jordan is encouraging fighting among the students. At least when Knocks-em cold George pushed over Peoria Manual the way he did this morning, Mr. Jordan got into the ring and gave a pep talk. Of course it wasn't a fight be- tween students but between teams-that's different. Fac- ulty Pep , Town Punch , and Student Spirit dispensed from little brown jugs gave George the super-power to lick Peoria. We're going to keep these on tap for the rest of the season. -S. H. S. played Peoria Manual to a tie last night-0-0. Another assembly this morn- -S. H. S. plays Marseilles to- night. -What? Again?

A good time was had by all. -Tonight the seniors are giving a dance-in the gym of course. The freshies will all be there with their new girls, and quite a few seniors too! -Again no school. The faculty must go to conferences. It hurts them worse than it does us. -Why is the library so quiet. There seem to be a few strangers in study halls these days.-Any connection? DECEMBER 21-Big French Club party at Holmes's tonight. You know that fourth hour class. Wonder Wh y they're having it at Holmes's? -Christmas Assembly today. The Rev. E. W. Smith told us about the Fourth Wiseman. The Glee Clubs sang Christmas Carols. -That game last night was no way to start a vacation. Why weaken us just when we must do our last Xmas shopping.

Our new students are two swell kids-Mary Alice and Marshall Hayes. -Today Howard Thomas left us. What will the fourth hour French Class be now? -That snow this morning looked bad, but I guess we will all be in Ottawa tonight. See you at the Court -No school, teachers at Insti- tute. -Candy sales seem to be popular MARCH -Seniors ordered commence- ment invitations today. Why did we order twenty-five? We wonder. -Streator's done it again! Last Morris showed us some of the wonders of electricity. Surprise! The Staff of the Hardscrabble was picked to- day! Three Cheers! H'ray!
