N. Woodruff senior high school, PeOria's most modern and completely equipped high school. Our beautiful new building, named in honor of former Mayor E. N. Woodruff, stands as a tribute tO the farfsighted educational leaders and other citizens of Peoria who have faith in the new kind of learning. Such education equips students for useful, well' rounded, happy lives. Few schools in the country Offer similar opportunities to students, whether they desire to go to college, to enter the business World, to enter a trade, or to be home makers. In addition to a complete and varied curriculum, Principal L. R. McDonald has provided for extrafcurricular activities that round out our school life and give us possible leisure time recreation when we graduate. In grateful recognition Of the Work that they have done to make Our new school a possibility, we present the following names: BOARD OF EDUCATION HONORABLE DAVE MCCLUGAGE, Mayor CExfOfhciOj LOUIS G.

However, it didn't take us long to attain our superior position. Since traditions were lacking, it has been our duty to establish them. Our class play Mignonette was an excellent production directed by Miss Bertha Berman and enacted by a very capable cast. tions, THE OBSERVER and Most of the important positions on staffs of the publica TALISMAN, are filled by able seniors. The athletic teams have many of our members in their ranks, and our student council members are excellent leaders. Senior class advisors were Miss E. Macdonald, Mr. H. Landis. Miss D. Martens, Mr. J. Hall. Our school spirit has been unquenchable and we feel responsible for leading this school loyalty which has been commended throughout the city. During the year our school was host to the District Student Council Convention, of which one of our members, james R. Grebe, was president. Also some of our members helped make a success of the Regional Basketball Tournament held at Woodruff. And now we leave Woodruff high school, and it is with deepest regret we say goodf bl tte d bye, Our underclassmen, the freshmen, are greatly to be envied in being a e to a n Woodruff for their entire four years. Not forgetting those high schools which have pref pared us to come into this beautiful building and conduct ourselves properly, We pay tribute to those schools where We spent our Hrst three years, which have been for most of us Kingman, Peoria High, and Manual Training high schools. 0 Page nineteen TRUMAN R.

The class of l-10 has been active, though not in the way that people generally notice and praise. Some of us have spent much time on our studies and were rewarded hy the steady appearance of our names on the honor roll. Others have enjoyed the social life and have taken an active part in athletics. Out' standing among sophomore athletes were Bill Brennan, Frank Betts, Glen Heryford, Sidney Schwartz, Bill Picl, Art Scott, Boh Partridge, and Boh Rose. Like most sophomore classes, we have been responsihle for much of the huhhuh in the corridorsg we know, though, that our enthusiasm will help us to carry on next year when we assume the responsibilities of juniors.

Standing in corners, staring widefeyed at the selffassured looking upper' classnien, and wandering through the halls with dazed expressions on our faces, were some of the actions of the freshmen. Our class advisors, Miss L. Hedstrom, Miss E. Sperling, Mr. F. Pocklington, and Mr. R. Gummerson, came quickly to the rescue, and we are now a busy, willingftofwork part of Woodruff high school and have been represented in many school activities. During the first semester we elected our class officers. They are Robert Friedman, presidentg George Walsh, vicefpresidentg Betty Ann Schultz, secretaryg and Maurice Kahn, treasurer.

Student Council HE Woodruff High School Student Council has had a very active year under the capable leadership of George Kirkpatrick, President, and Mr. W. G. Carlin, Faculty Advisor. The first project was the Crowell Magazine Campaign. It was a great success. Shirl Wexler was the prize salesman. He is last year's world champion and probably this year's. The Council kept part of the money and the rest was divided among the General Funds, Athletic Department, and the band. In November Woodruff was host to the District Council Convention. Its purpose was to interest more schools in student government. A number of schools were repre' sented. The outfofftown students were entertained overnight in the homes of the student body. Dr. Bennar and Mr. Erickson were the principal speakers. Students from each school present gave short addresses. A general discussion from the floor was held. Next year the convention will be at Delavan. Another undertaking of the Council was the Fall Festival held in December. There was dancing to Marie Weber's orchestra. Booths were erected around the dance floor where games and novelties were sold. It was a great success. The Council sold school pins to raise money to pay the expenses for the assembly programs. A Dance Instruction Class directed by Mrs. Epstein was started in March. The purpose was to teach the students to dance and so stimulate interest in all school dances. The St. Patrick's Day Dance was held on the afternoon of March 17th. A large crowd attended and a small prolit was made. The first Student Council of Woodruff high school ended a most successful year with a banquet on March 25th. Page fofty-eight I Council Committees Publicity .,..., ......... . .

Junior Red Cross OODRUFF high school's junior Red Cross was formed on March lst, 1938, under the supervision of Miss Emma G. Macdonald. Each school was required to raise ten dollars in order to send a delegate to the national convention, all expenses paid, held in San Francisco. Our organization raised its quota by selling CocafCola and Nichol Kola at the basketball regional tournament. Some of the projects for the coming season are to make Easter place cards for hospitals and orphanages and scrap books for foreign correspondence. To render service and spread cheer to the less fortunate is the goal of this worthy organization. The following officers were elected to the following respective ofhcesz Clara Bessler, Bette Bertels, Mildred Shaver, Marie Nybergg president, vicefpresident, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. There were also two city representatives selected: Mary Winberg and Thomas Autry. Page sixly-lwo 0 llbflignonettelf HE Class of 1938 received the honor of presenting the first public production on the sta e of our new school when a cist of fourteen directed by Miss B. Berman g s i presented ulvlignonettef' on the evening of Friday, December lst, 1957. Writteii by Arthur jearne, the play was a tbreefact romantic comedy of the southf land. Its chief charm lay in the fact that it combined the use of modern costumes with those of the Civil War Period. The first and last acts were set in an old southern mansion during the present era, while the second was a flash back to the days of the Civil War. The story concerned the love of a modern girl for a handsome young artist. Her grandfather obstinately refused to sanction the match because the artist was descended from his bitter enemy who had caused him to give up the girl he loved. In her dreams the modern girl relives the life of Ivfignonette whom her grandfather loved and discovers from her diary how her grandfathefs decision caused lvlignonettels death. Wheii she decides to marry the man she loves, her grandfather bitterly upbraids her, but before the end of the story he learns that he has been unfair to lvlignonette, and eventually gives his consent to his granddaughters marriage. Some notable bits of acting were done by members of the cast in portraying a variety of difficult roles. jim Kelly, playing the part of the bitter old gentleman who objected to his granddaughters love affair and later of the romantic young lover of Ivlignonette, demonstrated unusual versatility. Dolores Richards cut a charming figure as Iviignonette, the southern belle of old, who heroically renounced her lover to please his father. Especif ally memorable is the life sized portrait in which Dolores posed in some of the most effec' tive scenes of the play. As her modern counterpart, Helen Berg showed real histrionic ability and proved an excellent playing partner for her dashing modern lover, portrayed by Ray Baumann. One of the most colorful characters in the play was the mustachiofed wealthy tobacco plantation owner impersonated by jack Henderson, who added considerable local color to the piece. The comedy interest was supplied by Esther Plummer who did an outstandf ing bit of characterization as an old negro mammy and also as a frisky pickaninny. Mildred Shaver, Jean Huber, june Henninger and Ruth IvfcClellan also contributed humor as a ' ' ' ' ' ' ' h Ei l Oh in, group of gossipy Ladies Aid members. ln the second act, playing wit ir ermi and jim Briggs all in colorful costumes, they carried on the action of the story as guests in a gay party scene. Wilfred Richardson, as a deacon and later as a harsh father, perf formed his difficult parts convincingly, while Truman Adkins, as Ivfignonettes brother, made the most of a small character part. Much effort was expended by the cast and stage crew to make the first performance on the stage of Woodruff high school a real success, and the enthusiastic audience, who viewed the play will always remember the colorful scenes, the pathos, the tender romance and dramatic action which made Mignonette an excellent vehicle for high school production. I Page sixty-l1z1ee Hfflxn Qld Kentucky Gerdenn N OLD KENTUCKY GARDEN was presented by the students of the music department of Woodruff high school in the auditorium at 8:00 p.m., February 25th. The curtain opened and the audience found themselves in a romantic setting of a Kentucky garden where there were fascinating southern girls and gallant beaux. Three love affairs were developed in this garden. Jeanie, the lovely niece of the Colonel, is in love with a Northerner whom she had accidentally inet. Joy is engaged to Jeanie's brother Phillip, but his debts make marriage a seeming impossibility. The thricefwidowed Hannah, the village gossip is looking for her fourth husband, and in particular, is setting her cap for a wealthy gold prospector from California. Their affair adds comedy to the production. Through these interfwoven romances runs mystery when the theft of a famous ruby brings serious consequences. The musical numbers were all the songs of Stephen C. Foster, also a character in the drama. The following are the cast of characters: DoN BRIGGS .,....,,.. ....... I .......... S tephen C.

The audience will long remember the first operetta given by students of Woodruff high school. Page sixly-four 0 Big l-learted f-lerbertn MOST hilarious and delightful play was Big Hearted Herbert, a three-act comedy successfully presented on our stage the evening of April 29th, 1938. The action of the play occurs within a day's time in the combination living and dining room of the Herbert Kalness home, lt moves smoothly and quickly and in many spots most hilariously. Cordon Joyner played the lead as Herbert Kalness, a selffmade man who believed in being the master of his home and family. Maxine Dennis gave a very excellent prof trayal of Mrs. Kalness, who allows her husband to believe that he is master until he embarrasses the whole family before some friends. Then in a most amusing scene Mrs. Kalness gets her revenge by serving a dinner of stew to some important guests of Herbert. Lois Ryden played the part of Alice Kalness, who is in love with Andrew Goodrich, played by jack Schlegel. Alice Kalness, as well as the rest of the family, was mortified at the terrible scene made by her father at her engagement dinner in the presence of the family of her fiance and some other friends. Bernice Greves and Truman Adkins were the elder Goodriches. The two Kalness boys, played by Clarence Hayes and james Kelly, added more humor to the play. An excellent portrayal of Amy Lawrence, Herbert's sister, was given by Carlene Upchurch and Charles Carroll, her husband. W'ayne David and Dorothea Stringham were Mr, and Mrs. Havens, Herbert's guests, Patricia Maloney was the washflady. The theme of this play was true to life. i'Big Hearted Herbert, not realizing how comical he really looked and sounded in his rages demanded his own way. He insisted on econornyg he resolved that his older son should not go to college but should start in the factory as he had doneg he would not give his consent to his daughters marriageg but worst of all, he insisted on keeping a hideous portrait of his father and a conspicous old brass cuspidor in the living room. But his patient wife had stood just about all she possibly could and finally got her revenge by presenting to Herbert a reflection of his own absurd actions. Of course, when Herbert saw himself as he really was, he changed his ways and yielded to his family's demands, and everything ended well. Miss Alberta Leistritz, who has coached many other successful plays, deserves much credit for the success of this year's allfschool play, O Page sixty-five XX!OOClfUff Revue OODRUFFS auditorium footflights were again turned on in full glory for the February second opening of the Woodruff Revue. Songs, dances, acrobats, swing numbers, and irnitations added to the evening's entertainment, james L. Grebe was the capable young Master of Ceremonies. A scene that gave the stage a realistic appearance was a dimly lighted cabaret, with tables, chairs, and other equipment. Under the direction of Mr. Woodman, Woodruff's tenfpiece orchestra began the floor show. The Schader twins started the evening entertainment and were not outdone by the AllfGirl Tap Chorus, which included, Kathryn Button, Hazel Corrie, Dolores Hollister, Twyla Mae jones, jewel Lawton, Helen McDonough, Virginia Pitsch, Betty Powell, Ruth Richards, Virginia Schulz, Marjorie Williams, and Marjorie Wotton. Wanda Straessers whistling was followed by the orchestra, and BollingerfHopper song team. Zoe Dunaway's acrobatic dance was very entertaining. Virginia Mowry with her accordian was followed by iinpersonations by Robert Smith. Irene Longnecker gave a toeftap number and was followed by sweet strains offered by two electric guitars, played by Edith Pierce and Mary Presley. Benko and Kents stunt act preceded a roller skating act which was performed by Helen Kacavick and her brother. The orchestra completed the Revue. Proceeds of the Revue went toward the general fund.

Miss Kathryn Lang' ton coached the allfboy cast, which was tried as an experiment. Threeis A Crowd k'Three's a Crowd was a onefact comedy directed by Miss Crowley. The char' acters were: Eddie, played by Wiryiie David, Madeline, played by Bernice Creve, Ellen, played by Shirley Coeg Elmer, played by james Kromphardt, and Mr. Johnson, played by Lyle Bollinger. The plot was built around Eddie who dated a glamour girl, beyond his means and understanding. As the play opens, Eddie, his date Madeline, and Madeline's younger sister, Ellen, are stranded some distance from the dance after being put off the street car at the wrong station. While Madeline is raving and crying over her tired feet, Elmer, Eddie's rival, shows up with a car that he has stolen from Eddie's hither, and after a iight with Eddie he takes Madeline to the dance, leaving Eddie and Ellen alone in the park to comfort each other. The play has a happy ending when Eddie's father shows up in pursuit of Elmer, and takes Eddie and Ellen on to the dance, More Blessed 'iMore Blessed is a onefact Christmas play written by Paul Moffett and directed by Miss Leistritz. It was presented in an assembly on the afternoon of December 23rd, 1937. The play took place on the present Christmas Eve in the livingfroom of the Prescott home. Edward Porterfield played the part of Robert Prescott, the father who was always helping others less fortunate than himself. He spent all his money on the poor, leaving none with which to buy gifts for his children. The children were angry when he told them that they wouldn't receive their gifts. Hilary, Prescottfs younger sister played by Carlene Upchurch, saves the day by giving the son and daughter money enough to buy a car and a fur coat. However, when they receive a telephone call telling them their father has been killed in an accident, they regret their previous actions, Wheii Mr. Pres' cott walks in uninjured, they rush to him and beg his forgiveness. He says he gave his billfold away and the dead man was identihed by it. The son and daughter decide to spend their money in helping others. They are convinced it is more blessed to give than to receive. Others in the cast were Leo Corenz, the song Virginia Schultz, the daughter, and Norma Bradshaw, the wife. Bette Bertels was the prompter. Everyone did an excellent piece of work, making the second one act play of the year a great success. O Page sixly-sez en Junior prom Dates, formals, flowers, and music were a few of the most outstanding features at the junior Prom held at the Pere Marquette on May 20th. 'Bud Porterrield, president of the Junior Class, and Betty Shultz led the Grand March to the music of Bob Black and his orchestra. W. I-I.

This show was sponsored by the Woodruff High School Band Parents' Associaf tion, as the second in a series of programs to raise money for uniforming our band.

Spring Dance ScanlonfPaulson's orchestra opened the Woodruff High School Band Parents' Assof ciation's final entertainment of the season's drive to raise money for band uniforms on Friday, April 22nd. This was called the Victory Dance, acclaiming the success of their campaign. They had sponsored a card party, a minstrel, and the climax was this dance. Students and parents supported this event with the same enthusiasm as was shown at the previous entertainments. Page sixty-eight 0 O more fitting memorial could be given in honor of the late C. B. Baymiller Memorial Gifts Beymiller Electric Qrgan than the Hammond electric organ dedicated in his memory in special services in the auditorium on Sunday, April 24th. MR. C. B. BAYMILLER Alumni of the Averyville and Kingman schools, stu' dents of Woodruff high school, and friends who have been associated with Mr. Baymiller in church and civic activif ties have contributed toward the purchase of the organ. The School Board has built a special sound chamber above the ceiling of the auditorium, in which there are two 25Ofpound amplifiers and speakers, assuring perfect sound reproduction. The organ, which will be installed on a raised platform in the orchestra pit, will be a fine addition to the musical equipment of our school. Xlffoodruff Radio Sound System Installation of a Strombergf Carlson radio sound system was made in our school this spring. It is a splendid gift presented to us by Mr. E, N. Woodruff in memory of his late wife, Mrs. Anna E. Woodruff. Microphones are installed in the principal's office, with radio speakers in the auditorium, gym' nasium, and sixty classrooms. By means of the system radio broad' casts can be sent to any room in MR. AND MRS. E. N. WOODRUFF the building. A special talkback system, which enables the teachers not only to receive ' h h' ' t n time, is another feature messages from Mr. McDonald but also to confer wit im a a y of the system. We are fortunate to have this additional gift to our school. lar e oil painting of former Mayor Another splendid gift received this year was a ' g E. N. Woodruff.

The contest aims to prof mote the appreciation of good citizenship among young people and is based on the four qualities of character: dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. The Senior Class votes for the girls in the class who are most outstanding in these four qualities. The names of the three highest are then submitted to the hiculty, who select one. Pilgrims of the American Revolution is the name of a newlyfformed organization of the winners of past years. Although Mildred was not chosen as our state representaf tive, she will have the honor of being a member of this group.

In the senior group the winners were: Bernice Creve, first prize, Lila Lee Nichols, second, and Frank Katus, third. In the junior group first and second prizes were won by Vivian Custer and Miirjorie Wotton, respectively. The Winning posters are being entered in the state, and are expected to reach the final national contest. Essay Contest During the month of April, the Peoria Association of Commerce sponsored an essay contest open to all the high school students attending Woodruff, Ivianual, and Peoria Central. The purpose of the contest was to get the high school students' view on business and commerce and to see how well they understood the present economic situations of their home and city. Anne Hadley, Arthur Barth, Clara Bessler, and Larry Kerker were the essay win' ners from Woodruff. Postoilice Air Mail Poster Contest In connection with National Air Miiil Week, which was observed May 15 to 21, a poster contest was conducted in the Peoria high schools, Woodruff art students really displayed interest and ability in this contest by Nwalkf ing away with all the prizes.

Correll was appointed athletic director of Kingman high school. Immediately i'Tommy'l showed his skill as a basketball mentor by steering the Kingmanites to a county basketball title the following year. For the past twelve years he has been turning out the athletic teams for Peoria's North Side. Not so very long ago Ray Wolf was added to the coaching staff at Kingman and has served as assistant coach in basketball and football and as baseball coach. Ray, like Cor' rell, was a fine athlete in his school days and during the past few years has stamped him' self as an equally fine coach. Correll and Wolf form a fine working combinationg the two should find themselves on the winning side of the ledger for many years to come. When golf was added to the Kingman sports curriculum Eve years ago. the duties of golf coach were given to Harry Landis. Under the capable direction of Mr. Landis, last year the team defeated Bloomington high school to mark its 'drst defeat on the links in three years. Another of the more recent sports to be added to the program is that of bowling. The kegling game is fast becoming popular with Woodruff students, and with director Clem Colgan leading the parade it will become one of the most popular pastimes enjoyed by the Woodruff student body. Assisting Coach Correll with the duties of coaching track is Roy Gummerson, who during his high school and college days was quite a track man himself. He holds several long distance running records and is just the man to coach the youthful Woodruff trackf sters in the art of distance running. William Dragalin rounds out the coaching staff acting in the capacity of boxf ing and tennis instructor. It is the first year for either one of these sports, and through the ine work of Mr. Dragalin, they have both flourished immensely this year. 0 Page seventy-seven , v :W ' w, n- 1, z H 'M 2 af .

Football -- T937 HILE more than a thousand people watched, the heavy, experienced Peoria Central team beat Woodruff 53 to O. Even though Central outplayed Wood' ruff badly, making 14 first downs to Woodruff's 5, Coach Correll expressed his opinion that the boys did very well, considering their lack of experience. Blueboys Lose Second In their second start of the season the Woodruff footballers lost to Lewistown High by the score of 28 to O, Passes from Blondie Butkovich to Howell Cordell were mainly responsible for the Blue loss. Woodruff threatened in the third quarter on runs by Kirk' patrick and Evans but our boys fumbled before the score could be made. JIM MOWRY WALTER CORRIE JIM BRIGGS GEORGE KIRKPATRICK Page seventy-eighl 0 Miller Stars for Toulon Dave Miller ran wild against Woodruff on the Toulon turf October 16th and Bill Metzgerls footballers handed the Woodruffites another defeat. Miller scored five times on runs ranging from 60 to 20 yards. The Blues could form no defense whatsoever against the brilliant Dave, who was chosen on many All'State teams. At times the Gorrellmen looked good but still showed lack of experience. Xlffooolruff 30 -- l-lavana 7 It took four losses in a row for the Woodruff footballers to gain enough experience to win their first game of the season. The Blues' victim was Havana, who fell 30 to 7. Burly Harold Evans led the Woodruff attack and was aided greatly by the entire team. Early in the first quarter the Blueboys scored their first touchdown of the season after Evans had carried the ball SO yards on two plays. Gther sensational touchdown runs by the revamped Blues were reeled off by Walt Corrie, who galloped 41 yards, and Art Scott, who intercepted a pass and aced 66 yards. Len Fosdick made one of the other scores on a 24fyard dash and Harold Evans added the sixth touchdown. Havana's only score was made by Spink, and Long added the conversion. Farmington 'l3 -- Xxfooolruhf G Only a few breaks in the wrong direction enabled the Farmington team to defeat Woodruff by a narrow 15 to O margin. Columbia scored the two touchdowns for the invaders, and on two occasions the Blue runners muffed chances to score. George Kirkf patrick and Harold Evans led the Woodruff backheld artists, and Bill Picl and jim Briggs stood out defensively. East Peoria 13 -- Xxfoodruff O As has always been the case with Correll coached football teams, the final game of the season is played with East Peoria. For the third consecutive year the Reds topped the Blues and carried away the coveted silverfplated horseshoe significant of football supremacy between the two schools. The E. P. star this year was shifty Glen Seibert, who tore the Woodruff line wide open in the second and third quarters. Twice in the opening canto the Woodruff boys had scoring opportunities, but on both occasions their attack bogged down before they could push the pigskin over the line. Playing their last game for Woodruff were George Kirkpatrick, Walt Gorrie,jim Briggs, and Jim Mowry. Seihffrl runs through Vhzorlruff for om- of East lworizfs touchdowns ln, . A , i. Managers NE of the most diliicult and least rec' ognized jobs in the athletic departf ment is that of the student managers of the various sports. They have many duties, such as taking care of the equipment, cleaning the locker room and locking the gymnasium, and acting as general errand boys for the whole Pumping Bull-Cotton 0,, Su,-,sfgmw team and coaches. This year the two capable managers of the football and basketball teams were Ralph Cotton and Don Emser, a sophof more and junior, respectively. Each boy won his letter this year and will be back again next year. CZIWQQV l.6c3Ci6fS A newlyforganized cheer leading squad under the capable direction of Mr. Frank Pocklington helped the Blueboy basketball quintet to a very successful season. To add to their overflowing enthusiasm and pep, which they carried throughout the crowd, the cheer leading sextet was fortunate in securing a present of six beautiful blue and gray uniforms early in the winter.

SZGSOTTS RZSUITIZ OODRUFF HIGH sports enthusiasts were rewarded with a fast basketball team that sported a fine record at the close of the season's play. The opening game of the campaign with Washington furnishing the opposition was only the beginning of a cage schedule that brought cheers of excite' ment from the fans. The Blues dumped the Senators in the inaugural mix by a 43 to I9 count, with Dick Gresham, Lyle DeKalb, and Larry Kerker each scoring ten points. In their next Hve starts the Blueboys continued to topple the opposition, and at the end of that time they were the only undefeated team in the Greater Peoria area . . . their greatest feat over the sixfgame win period was the victory over Peoria Manual. In this game Larry Kerker and Dick Gresham led the offensive parade with 17 and 16 points, respectively, and Lyle DeKalb, Jim Briggs, and Chuck Bell all stood out defensively. Other victories in the stretch were claimed over El Paso, Delavan, Roanoke, and LaFayette. Roanoke, then conquered the Blues on their own court in an overtime battle, '54 to 29. Green Valley sideswiped the Correllmen, and the strong Verf mont team followed suit, as did the East Peoria Reds. With a vengance the Woodruffites came back to annihilate Lexington 56 to 28 and proceeded in the same victorious manf O LARRY KERKER Larry was called Pete by his teammates and was the leading scorer. His 243 season's total led all the others in the city, and he placed high among the individual scorers of the state. He was placed on the All-City selection and was one of the few men ever to captain a team in his junior year. LYLE DEKALB l..yle is a junior and has been playing on the same team as Kerker ever since his grade school days. He is considered one of the best long shot artists in the city and will be quite useful next year. ART SCOTT Sophomore Art Scott is what is known as the allfaround athlete. Scotty plays basketball and football and is quite a track man. He is a big lad and, because of his size, an excellent man to have on the cage squad, DICK GRESHAM After being unsuccessful in attempts to play basketball at Manual, Dick Gresham enrolled at Woodruff and was immediately given a starting berth by Coach Correll. Dick proved his ability and finished the season as one of the highest individual scorers in the city. SHIRL WEXLER Shirl was a handy reserve all through the season. His dazzling speed constantly kept the opposition going. He also served as a reserve last year on the Kingman team and graduates this june. Page eighly-two I ner over Delavan. Although they didn't win the next game, the Woodruff boys certainly frightened the Pekin Chinks, who up to this time were riding the crest of a 12 game winning streak. It was nearly broken by the Correllmen, however, when they scored 36 points as compared to 38 for Pekin. All the Bluehoys stood out, and it appeared for a while that the Woodruff team was going to cop the contest and gladden the hearts of Peoria prep sports followers. Dave Miller led Toulon to victory over the Peorians when he rolled up 32 points while all the entire Woodruff team could score was 29, and the final count was 46 to 29. Central defeated the Blues in their next start 38 to 27 after the teams held a halftime tie of 16 all. Fortyfeight points were scored hy the Woodruff sharpshooters as they toppled Sparland hy 18 points. Woodruf avenged the East Peoria defeat hy heating them on the crossfriver court 16 to 15. In the Hnal three starts the Woodruff followers saw their team win three straight from Washington, Ivlason City, and Sparland. In the Regional Tournament held at the Woodruff gymf nasium Mzirch 2f5 the Woodruff team advanced to the semif finals before being eliminated by Peoria Central. Washington fell to the Blues in the first round, but Groetzinger and Cox of Central proved too much for the Northsiders in the semis, and they dropped a 36 to 28 decision. For third place honors the Woodruffites defeated the Roanoke five 57 to 23 to mark the highest score made hy any Peoria prep team during the entire season. O JIM Biuoos jim is a former Peoria Central sports luminary who upon his transfer to Woodruff made good as an athlete. His fine work at guard easily shows how much he will he missed next year. He was the largest hoy on the squad and was an excellent rehounder. CHARLES BELL Another boy who concluded his prep playing career this season was Chuck Bell, who served at guard with Briggs in every game of the season. Bell's deceptive passing and cool floor game was consistently haffling to the opposition, GEORGE KNIGHT Blonde George Knight proved a capahle reserve for Captain Kerker all season and after this year's experience George is expected tn he a much im' proved hall player hy next season. He is only ci junior. JIM GOBERT At the semester jim hecame eligihle and proved himself a very agile reserve. His accurate long shots and fine hall handling attracted quite a hit of attention and somewhat lessened Coach Correll's guard worries for next year. JOHN BLISS john was a reserve last year and was another who was added to the varsity squad at the start of the second semester, His height and deadly shots made him a constant threat whenever in the lineup, 0 Page eiglily-Ilzree Wt .v ff ll we 400' ' i L. ., gt J .,,,. , I fl' , .vs gf' if il x ts 65,1- 7, .

Boxing Team OACH Bill Dragalin's boxing team gained a lot of valuable experience this year, and with all men returning next year should have a formidable outfit. This year the Blue pugilists experienced their first taste of boxing, and most of the time was spent in training with the Manual veterans, who won by a small margin after getting some stubborn resistance from a plucky but green Woodruff team. The team was composed mostly of freshmen and sophomores who showed much promise for a strong team in the next year or two. Much credit for their fine showing against Manual must go to the invaluable assist' ance and training given these boys by Coach Dragalin. Page eighly-four 0 g1. .. Top Row fkennan, Boyd.

The team received several good basketball players at the turn of the semester, and it is clearly shown by the improved record of the second semester. The first game of the season saw the yearlings drop the opening encounter to Washington 18 to 16, but in the latter part of the season the Blues played the same team and defeated them 34 to 17. By far the most thrilling game of the season was that with East Peoria, when the Woodruff boys edged out a victory in the closing seconds. As has always been the case in the past, the Reserves and FreshfSoph teams played in the preliminary game that preceded the varsity affair at every home game. Ray Wolf acted as coach of the squad and must be highly complimented for the vvay in which he brought the boys out of their early season tailspin. Page eighty-six 0 Spring Sports Baseball IGH school haschall in Peoria has lveen growing consistently for the past few years, and each season the Peoria schools are increasing the interest in prep hasehall. This year Coaches Tommy Correll and Ray Wolf have heen experimenting a great deal with the underfclass diamondeers in an effort to find material for next year's team. The inexperience of the players and difficult schedule promises anything hut a hright record from the '38 team. Nevertheless, the work spent on this year's outfit will he invaluahle when the time comes to choose the 1039 team. Games with the other Peoria schools com' prise the greater part of the schedule, while other smaller schools in this vicinity make up the rest. -lrack NOTHER important athletic activity at Woodruff is track. Under the ahle direcf tion of Coaches Tommy Correll and Roy Cummerson, the Woodruff track en' husiasts are offered a real opportunity for consistently good teams. Both coaches are possessed of a thorough knowledge of the sport and should lead our school on to numerf ous track victories with the developing of some of the material now on hand. The team this season has shown some very fine ahility. Each season the school hooks various dual meets with the smaller schools in Central Illinois and climaxes the season with the Greater Peoria Meet and the District and State yearly meetings. The important midfseason event is the Bradford Relays, in which Wocdruffi gained fifth place this year. 0 Page eiglzly-screw Tennis NEW spring sport was added to the Woodruff athletic department this year in the form of a tennis team coached by Coach Bill Dragalin. Ten candidates applied for positions on the squad and it was finally reduced to six players, Those that make up the squad are Don Dement, Art Ecklund, Louis Droll, Bob Linden, Dick Haungs, and Jim Briggs. Of these six, the first four will return for next year's team. The net squad tangles with such opponents as Pekin, Canton, Manual, and Central. Golf ITH only one veteran returning for Coach Harry Landis' golf team the prosf pects are fair for a successful link season this year. The boys sincerely hope that they may approach the record of last year, of which the high spot was handing Bloomf ington its first defeat in three years. In addition to lettermen Bob Reynolds, Lyle DeKalb, Sid Schwartz, and Dick Gres' ham will represent the Blue golfers against such opponents as Manual, Central, Bloom' ington, and Pekin.
