Rehmus Who , through his years of service as Principal of Battle Creek High School, and careful guidance of the student body, has icon this expression of gratitude from the Class of 1935. -Hgf 11 ' ■ Dr. W. G. Corurn Who, in the culmination of forty years of unremitting service to his community as Superintendent of Schools, has earned the grati¬ tude and regret of its citizens. Gratitude, because he has formed the foundation of its educational system; and regret, because his constructive influence will no longer be felt in the further devel¬ opment of these institutions. -4 13 C.

Betty White Vivien Blanchard “As Commencement Day approaches, the time when we shall have to leave these halls of learning to take our places in the world’s affairs, our hearts are filled with mixed emotions— sorrow at parting with dear friends and companions, together with gladness that we have suc¬ cessfully completed our public school curriculum. Whatever the sentiment may he, we are suddenly confronted with the realization that we are about to leave the protecting influences of home and school to face the problems and realities of a world struggling to right itself after a cataclysmic altering of its economic and social structure. Although the problems facing us make our debut into the world’s activities very difficult and uncertain, those of us who have applied ourselves to preparation during our school career should be able to cope with the situation and win commendation for ourselves. Those who have wasted their time, how¬ ever, will find the path, presenting many pitfalls for the unprepared, difficult to travel. “While some of us will go on to college and to success in professional fields, or laziness and oblivion, according to our own ambition, most of the class will attack at once the prob¬ lems which must be solved. The achievement which we attain will be commensurate to our own farsightedness.” “It is only right that we consider here the personalities involved in grooming us for destiny’s race. We have been taught facts and figures by the conscious effort of our instructors, but our greatest gain has probably been the transmission of their qualities and habits of good citizenship and clear thought which we have assimilated unknown to ourselves. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to those teachers avIio have not only abored to fill our minds with facts, but have also spent their time and energy in aiding class and extracurricular activities and in boosting the school. Their endeavors are all too often unknown or un¬ appreciated. “Perhaps we have not accomplished all we might have accomplished during our sojourn here, nor have we always exerted our efforts toward things constructive, but we have always tried to make our high school as progressive and fine as possible. To the Juniors who will soon take our places we say, ‘Whether you surpass us or not, always keep the school spirit flaming high and always try to better the traditions of the past.’ “As President of the Class of 1935, I wish you all the joys of achievement and success..” -•«§{ 27 Aagard, Kuth “Little we know what she thinks and dreams.” D. of L.; Nat ' l Honor Soc.; J Hop Dec.

To our dearlv-beloved inferiors, we bequeath at this grave hour, all those admirable traits that have won us “distinction.” Reid Hatfield most unwillingly relinquishes his diplomacy and idiosyncracy, “Kinda purty, ain ' t it? ' , to the next personage to assume the office of President. Marj orie Niergarth bestows upon Norene Adgate her position in subtle sar¬ casm and humor. Albert Lane bequeaths upon anyone esthetically-minded, his great aptitudes, both histrionic and artistic. C. David Ensign wills his “precocious” demeanor and “two-bit’ phraseology to Mary Ann Smith. The collective mathematical ability of the Senior Class is placed upon the worthy brow of Willard J. Hendrickson. James Ashton inherits the indispensable gift of effective “argumentation” in C-5 from Kermit Lemon. Junior Capron wills his robust physique and masculinity to Richard Birdsall. Donna Jean Ware concedes her charm and winsome ways to Helen Fish, trusting that they will he of great assistance to her as a Senior. Walter Klein turns his “ole southern drawl over to Darwin Shopoff, who, we hope, has the fortitude to indulge in vocal gymnastics. David Haughey is accorded with Elmer Sootsman ' s “fish-instinct and All- American splashing ability. Elizabeth Yepez bequeaths her “exotic Latinisin ' to Mary Allan. Stan Everett leaves only a morsel of his oratorical ability to Claude Phinisey. (Stan aspires to he an auctioneer.) George Van Deusen wills to Ed Melancon his hands, a “liability gas buggy, and far-in-the-morning snoozes. Th is will and last testament being duly signed and witnessed, we, the Class of 1935, do hereby impart upon this dotted line our signatures. Per: VIVIEN BLANCHARD LEE MALLISON MARJORIE NIERGARTH ROBERT LAM (And a few others) -4 67 4 - Memoirs of a Senior MARJORIE NIF.RGARTH On a September Morn of 1932, with blessings and advice at our heels, we eagerly and benignantly trekked from many lands of learning to mold our lives in one mother country. How blusteringly we infested the sacred precincts of C-13 with its formidable code of “13” commandments suspended from the ceiling. As new students we were impressed with the pep assembly entertainments, especially the Friday 13th pep meeting in ’33, where enthusiastic spirits ran skyward as Battle Creek High expressed its aged-in-the-wood determination to “down” the city of celery and nuts in a prophecy skit garnished with new yells —which brings to mind the character sketch of Grouclio and Chico Marx (swivel chair, banana, cigar and all!). Thus y ou see, the semester check-up couldn’t bother ns as much as our school paper tried to make out by saying that “half of us camped at the library and the other half took two courses so we’d be sure to pass one!” . . . (remember?). So engrossed were we with the momentousness of our recently undertaken task—the expression of our wish for higher education—that we hardly knew when or how Robert Lam, Joe Longden, Roberta Corlette and Sally Mustard were sworn in as the recognized leaders of our new social order. By the time the newspapers came out with headlines to the effect that the mid-semester honor roll was “led by girls” or the “Maize and Blue thinclads lost on the track,” and by the time we attended our first Junior Play, Senior Play and Operetta—we were more or less accustomed to filling out the family history and our reason for being, on notice of entry cards; pink library slips and yellow tardy excuses. . . . And before we knew it, June was here with its lures of soft mud trails and cinder paths on balmy moonlight nights. After a summer of various diversions, we convened once more in these halls of learning. Once again autumn came in with its scanty greens and ruby-spiked leaves; another stage of events was revolving before us. It was exhilarating to swagger through the corridors and survey the new frosh. We clothed ourselves with nonchalant ennui—but were secretly glad to Ite back. Undisputedly upper-classmen (for whom paying gas hills and renew¬ ing the canine’s license had become too “proletarian”!) and an integral part of the school—so we prated about assembly rules and absence excuses—the facility on one side of the question and the majority on the other. We be gan to engage in student affairs—and applied our “politics” to the class officer elections. This time Paul Burkhead. Bill Penty, Dorothy Kellogg and Bruce Bowers were slated to set the example of school pride and wax con¬ vulsive if any attacks against the class were attempted. However, we found time to play, too, and every hike, canoe jaunt and steak roast formed congenial diversions to our high school routine. . . . Oh, yes, we went to see our superiors strut in a senior play, the name of which few remember. And “Oh Doctor” was vivacious with its exultant harmon¬ ies ... do yon recall the time when the trousers of that sportive negro succumbed to the well-known law of gravity . . . ? The audience did not miss a thing and every ailment was cured . . . even ennui. 68 Again the art students drew posters—again notes were passed and the halls became cluttered with eager, expectant hoys and hesitant girls. Our own Junior Play, J-Hop and Jr.-Sr. entertainments were coming. We forgot about Chem¬ istry and Shakespeare, neglected Chaucer, and recalled that lovely shoulders and golden curls weren ' t meant for vocabulary tests and text-hook interiors. For two individual evenings, our youth inhaled the moist pungent odor of powder, perfume, freshly-cut flowers and dust, while to a parody in the chro¬ matic throes of “Three Little Pigs,” tides of faces flowed by with laughter and music. A great life . . . High School. We began to think about other things. Seri¬ ous things. Hut not aloud. And another year slipped into the hallowed quiets of the past. This year was an “annus mirabilis, from the time the smoke of the smolder¬ ing leaves made our eyes water to the time sudden rain squalls burst upon us. Seniors! . . . From whom no wisdom is held. Our values began to change. Some of the tinsel gave way to tarnish . . . superficialities seemed of less impor¬ tance than before. . . Hut all of this took place in the innermost recesses of our minds. Elections, from which Reid Hatfield. Hill Penty, Betty White and Vivien Blanchard emerged victorious. Amid tirades of multi-colored, varied shaped posters, heated persuasive Paean “campaigning had been conducted. Hot water pipes dripped with campaign information. The C-5 blackboard was a “Greenwich Village of art, commercialized. The day of discrimination peeled its hours away, returns were kept secret, and tin next issue of the Key disclosed the fact that Robert Lam had been victoriouslv elected Editor-in-Chief. Fired with ambition, we began to take a deeper, more adult interest in exams, courses of study, honor stuff ... a few of us delved into philosophy. All the old questions came back . . . about life and our existence. It was hard to really think, though. To really try to adapt ourselves to every subject. Strange . . . Strange the way you were expected to barter interests. Given five minutes, you perforce become gravely interested in Poe. You just got a stronghold in Poe- absorbed in the power of his assonance, onomatopeia and morbidity:— “Once upon a midnight dreary, while 1 pondered, weak and weary,” — Hells . . . then people, another five minutes. Prerequisites, in their oddity, made it impossible for one to browse around in a course of study merely because it possessed fascinating qualities. We began to think more about marks. “AY were too revealing . . . the en¬ shrined glorification of wearisome routines. We deplored any routine that chained itself to us. We conversed with the pedagogues too, and rather enjoyed it. The depar¬ ture of Mr. Robinson, whose high and noble character won our profound re¬ spect, was deeply felt, for many of us had received sincere advice and sympathy from him. Time moved on. The Senior Prom with its “modern atmosphere” was a memory. The Senior Play and May Party would soon come and go as quickly. Commencement, the enshrinement of high ideals . . . all eyes were glancing toward it. Little veinlets of thought were weaving a web of mysticism and glamour about it. Our clothes were decided upon and held their place in the limelight only for a short while. A certain sense of finality pulsed through us . . . gracing every moment, inviting us to become dreamers, to live in retrospec¬ tion, and reminding us that the great things in life have to be sought out ami will not come to one who muses regretfully hut only to one whose insight ex¬ pands and becomes more sensitive to the things that can be so humanly appeal¬ ing and poignant if we hut make them so. —- Sf 69 Senior Play EDWARD L. DOBBINS The Senior Class of 1935 tried for its production of the year a sophisticated comedy, something that has been lacking in the general run of high school play repertoires; and, likewise, something that should be included for the good ol the audiences as well as the casts. The play was interesting. It should be, coming from the pen of the famous Phillip Barry, a playwright of no mean note. Barry ' s “You and I” is a comedy with a touch of the tragic appearing in spots, and adding just enough color to keep the traditional pollianic idea out of the manuscript. There are a tew places in “You and I,” unfortunately, where the construction and dialogue are both weak, but on the whole the play is well written and quite easily produced. The thread of the plot involves the usual type of business man who, having married young and in sacrifice of his hobby, struggles against the temptation for twenty years. He finally breaks down at the suggestion of his ever-loving wife and takes up artistry, which he had forsaken for marriage. Of course, to do this, it is necessary for him to give up his business and along with it, the standard of living to which he had become accustomed in the past years of a steady income. Closely allied to this main plot are the problems involving their son, who at twenty-one has to make the same sacrifice as the father, if he wishes to marry; except in this case the hobby is architecture, and the most prominent idea for¬ feited is that of study in Europe. This sub-plot also offers the love interest upon the part of the son and his lady-love and her forfeiture of marriage, to give her fiance his study. In short, it is a play of sacrifices and might well have been named “Sacrifice,” although the title actually appears in the script, which is most unusual for a modern play. The other sub-plots (or better, character studies), are the employer who can think of nothing but soap, a writer who did not sacrifice his art for marriage, and a very unusual maid that turns ladylike. So much for the script. As for the cast, it is unfortunate that the Paean goes to press a few days before the actual production is given, thus making it impossible to give criticism. However, since it was chosen from the best talent, there is no doubt of its success, and a resume of the cast can be given without seeing the production. The leading role of “Maitland White,” the aspirant to the brush and oil, was portrayed by Albert Lane, already seen in the 35 edition of the Operetta. Playing opposite him, as his wife, “Nanny,” was Marion Winter. Donna Jean Ware, outstanding in last year’s Junior Play, was “Ronny,” the vivacious neighbor girl. “Ricky,” Mr. White’s handsome young son, was played by Reid Hatfield, also of the Junior Play and two operettas. As the employer, Robert Braby was cast in the role of “G. T. Warren.” Kermit Lemon played the writer, “Geoffrey Nichols.” “Etta,” the eccentric maid, was played by Sally Mustard. The set was the first to be a regular box set on the Kellogg stage. Pre¬ viously, the plays have been given in front of curtains. Also a change in scenery was necessary for “You and I,” thus showing that the high school can put on two or more scenes in a play without stretching the playgoer’s imagination to the utmost. Edward Freed, of the speech department, with the aid of the Dra¬ matic Club, classes and other interested parties, constructed the first set since the old auditorium days. The production was under the capable and well-proven direction of Emilv Marsh, supervising her first senior play. Publicity was handled by Mildred Betts and committees. -4 ™ National Honor Society MARY PENDER Ruth Aagaard Betty Bungor Robert Lam Margaret O’Neil ' Rose Adkins Paul Burkhead Helen Lawson Mary Pender Ellen Austin Howard Clark Muriel LeFevre Devey Reedy Isabelle Avery Allen Craw John Macomber George Roach Jacqueline Avery Albert Daniels Lee Mallison Vera Robinson Louise Bisco Edward Dobbins Gale Miner Dorma Rochee Dick Black Stanley Everett Jean Monroe Dale Rush Irene Blaszczyk Reid Hatfield Florence Moody Thelma Thomson Betty Bohn Josephine Hillman Edna Moore Dorothy Tiefentha Arthur Bond Beverly Hunt Jim Murphy Gordon Webster Bruce Bowers Dorothy Kellogg Sally Mustard Ruth Welsh Cleo Boyd Walter Klein Marjorie Niergarth Ho ward Williams Robert Braby Gladys Knowles Robert Norman Marian Winter In the graduating class of 1935, there are fifty-two seniors who have been elected to the National Honor Society. This is the largest group ever to be admitted to the society front Battle Creek High School, and constitutes approximately thirteen per cent of the class. The admission to this organization is one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed upon a high school student. Only those students who, throughout the four years of high school, have made a rating of 2.2 or better, are eligible to membership in the society. In the high school, the National Honor Society is comparable to the Phi Beta Kappa of colleges and universities. Although scholarship is the basis for election to this organization, the qualities of char¬ acter, citizenship, and leadership must be outstanding in the student to merit his election. Membership to this society was this year awarded by a board of sixteen faculty members. -4 The Senior Prom VIVIEN BLANCHARD One of the most gala events of the senior year took place on March 22, when the students held their annual Senior Prom. The scene of the dance was in the girls’ gymnasium in the Vocational Building, which had been cleverly and artistically transformed into a dazzling scene of towering skyscrapers, shaded with blue and gray as a background. Blue spotlights reflected upon the floor provided the only means of lighting or the hundred and five couples that attended. Entwined blue and yellow streamers were hung to form a quaintly designed ceiling. The dancers “raved” over the perfectly rhythmed nine-piece orchestra of Duane Schwenn from Kalamazoo. They played several numbers by request and presented two novelty numbers during the evening’s entertainment. The dance programs were printed in the Vocational Print Shop, and were carried out in orange and black modernistic designs. Miss Otha McCracken, the Senior Advisor, willingly gave her aid and advice to the various committees that more than helped to make the Senior Prom a grand success. The chaperons were Mrs. Dorothy Van Deusen and Mrs. Mary Jane Horn- hack. The committees in charge of the arrangements were:— Music:— Ben Munn, Chairman Walter Klein Priscilla Kemp Devey Reedy Jane Riste Bruce Robinson Donna Ware Reception:— Betty Roderick, Chairman Marion Winter Jim Murphy Jim Love Beverly Hunt Roberta Corlette Jack Cooper Junior Capron Tickets:— Ray Malotte, Chairman Milan Lott Murray Goble Stanley Everett John Claywell Esther Freeman John Pietrzyk Charles Richman Russell Carpenter Bruce Bowers - 0 — €( 72 } ■- Decoration :— Forest Earl, Chairman Dick Black Albert Daniels Aline Doty Tom Higgins Kermit Lemon Lee Mallison Muriel Le Fevre Barbara Markham Marian Reed Margaret O’Neil Sally Mustard Norman O’Dell Mary Pender Ray Rosa John Wentworth Russell Worgess A NAME CHARACTERISTIC HOBBY APPARENT AIM Aagaard, Ruth. _Mascara.

We have tried to have each junior realize that he is a component part of the class, and that our class will achieve a satisfying solidarity only as the individual members gi e themselves in singleness of purpose. Our first social affair was a dance designed to promote informality and provide an oppor¬ tunity for members of the class to become better acquainted with one another. An interesting variety of costumes was worn, with “kiddies” effects predominating. In December the Junior play, “Jonesy,” ably directed by Miss Marsh, and played by a cast of talented juniors, was presented in the Kellogg Auditorium. “Jonesy,” the first high school play given in the auditorium, was an unquestionable success. The J-Hop, attended by more than two hundred, was held in the girls ' gymnasium in Jan¬ uary. The motif of the decorations was a series of large caricatures of faculty members, which was enjoyed by teachers and students alike. On the evening following graduation was held the Junior-Senior Reception, the climax of the year ' s activities. If, as officers of the Junior Class, we have overlooked opportunities to serve the best inter¬ ests of the class, we have the satisfaction of knowing that we have done our best. In the appointment of committees, we have held competence and willingness to work to be the only requisites, and the results have been a gratifying indication that our choice was justified. Nor was discovery of these desirable traits difficult. Much work was done by Juniors who volun¬ teered to help, although their names were not listed on any committee. We desire to express our gratitude to all Juniors who have co-operated to make this year one of worthwhile activity. Whatever measure of achievement we have attained, however, we feel is very largely due to the constant help and guidance of Miss Canan, our faculty adviser. We desire, also, to express our appreciati on for the co-operation and encouragement which we have always received from Mr. Rehmus and the faculty. How well the Class of 1936 has succeeded in encouraging friendliness, class spirit, and school loyalty, will be made clear by our conduct as Seniors. { 83 } ■ : :!■ V- s JUNIOR CLASS OF 1934 AND 1935 p: :p!i j Addison, Margaret Cady, Richard Dutch, Verl ;• Adgate, Norene Campbell, Jean Dzioba, Julia v Aiken, Edward Campbell, Margaret ;1 Albrecht, Carl Cannon, Phyllis Eady, Erma Alden, John Henry Card, June Eagles, Tommy Allen, Mary Carpenter, Howard Edwards, Fred Allerton, June Carer, Glee Einhardt, Eileen • • Allwardt, Karlton Carus, Mary Gene Ellerton, Ruella Anderson, Bill Caughey, Lillian Elliot, Donald : v Anderson, Roland Casey, Frances Estelle, Alwyn • Andrews, Byron Chapman, Hobart Everest, Carolyn ; fio ' [■ Arnett, Wayne Chase, Emma Arnold, Barbara Childs, Charles Fennig, Mary ;V lit Austin, Duane Chilson, Marion Fish, Helen Je : Austin, Mary Ida Church, Richard Flathau.

K. Kellogg Auditorium. By mov¬ ing to the larger building it eliminated the tiresome two-night showing which to a large measure compensated for the difficulty in arranging scenery for such a large platform. The play, “Jonesy,” which is a comedy by Anne Morrison and John Peter Toohey, was under the direction of Miss Emily Marsh. The plot, although typical of the kind of thing chosen for high school pro¬ duction, contained a great deal of clever repartee which the audience thoroughly enjoyed. The story was that of a young man who was in love with, to the great worry of his parents, an actress. This young actress was, in their belief, particularly unde¬ sirable for she played the leading lady in South Sea Island plays, where for the sake of being realistic, the attire consisted mainly, or rather, entirely of a grass skirt and a few strings of beads. The Lady of The Stage and the young man had arranged a luncheon date in a nearby city, hut Mrs. Jones, the Hero ' s mother, suspecting an elopement, sent her quite-willing husband to tell the actress never to see their son again. The actress went to the Jones domicile to smooth over the difficulties and while there was sought by her irate uncle, who was also a prospective employer of the elder Mr. Jones. Troubles followed when the father of the family was brought home by a policeman after having punched the man who was seen driving the family car, which had incidentally been sold by young Jonesy to pay a poker debt. To add to their difficulties, a fraternity brother of Jonesy’s came to visit and became ensnared hv the “little girl next door,” who had been somewhat engaged to Jonesy before he had known the actress. Everything finally ended reasonably peacefully when the young hero found a position with the city water department. Father Jones, a position with the actress’ uncle, and Jonesy and the actress lived happily ever after. Bill Hart played the role of young Jonsey, the hoy in love, with very little effort, being so well suited to the part. As Diana Devereaux, the actress, Rena Rosen was perfect. Her poise and quiet dignity offered a pleasant contrast to the tempestousness of the Joneses. The part of the sarcastic sister was taken by Helen Hoyt, who knew just how to hurl hits of subtle bitterness at whomever it concerned. Her gay, blue lounging pajamas lent a note of color to the large stage. Mary Ida Austin was excitable, fussy, temperamental in charactizing the mother of Jonesy, and indeed she had a right to be, with so many family difficulties to smooth over. James Ashton played the role of Father Jones, the little man with the very big voice, who caused plenty of action as he waved his arms, stomped his feet, rumpled his hair, gesticulated with the silverware, and swore as occasions seemed to demand. Dick Putt was most natural as the fraternity pal well versed in the art of self-promotion, if not clever enough to know when he was being caught by an also self-promoting woman. The part of the girl who won his affections was taken by Mary Allen, who showed that she too could be very excitable and annoying as the role demanded. Stanley Jackson, the actress’ angry uncle and successful business man, was characterized by John Walters. Ned Bois played the policeman in this play. Glen Allen and Bob Irish, under the pic¬ turesque titles of A Plumber and Another Plumber, respectively, appeared on the scene for odd moments enroute to the upper room that needed their attention. John Adkins was a Jewish gentleman with an injured eye and a somewhat injured disposition. Hazel Stroud played the part of the cleverly dumb maid and played it peacefully and slowly, which was exceedingly refreshing. Music between the three acts was furnished by the High School Orchestra, under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Paul Tammi. Committees were: Stage: Mildred Betts, Mertace Canan, Jane Jickling, and Ed Counts; lighting, Walter Grasher; publicity, Mildred Betts; posters, Eleanor Bangham; costumes, Phyllis Cannon; tickets, Norene Adgate, Loyal Phares, and Usher Club. — • £’{ 87 J-Hop JEAN MONROE A Novel and very decorative idea was introduced by the Junior Class in their annual presentation, the Junior Hop. The J-Hop, which was one of the sea¬ son’s most popular parties, was held Saturday evening, January twenty-sixth, in the Vocational Cafeteria. Max Shan and his popular orchestra from Kalamazoo provided the music for tlie ninety-odd couples who attended the dance in the recently transformed cafeteria. The orchestra rendered several novelties and specialty numbers. The decorations for the affair were carried out in the form of caricatures of various faculty members, which were drawn by several of the students. Karl F. Robinson, who is now teaching at Ann Arbor, Ralph S. King, Mrs. Dorothy Van Deusen, John Craig Allen, Mrs. Jane W. Wilson, W. E. Batzler, Robert T. Knode, and Paul Tammi were among those caricatured. A marked resemb¬ lance to the respective teachers was noted in the huge black and white draw¬ ings, which were framed with black and white crepe paper and placed at inter¬ vals around the dance floor. A false ceiling hung low over the dancers; and from a large, cone shaped structure in the center of the room, vari-colored bal¬ loons were released toward the latter part of the evening. With the aid of colored “spots,” the cafeteria took on the appearance of a real ballroom. The programs were very clever, emphasizing the black and white decoration theme. They were triangular in design and decorated with a small silhouette. Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Allen, and Mr. and Mrs. Tammi, were the chaperons for the party, and Dr. and Mrs. William G. Coburn and Mr. and Mrs. Paul A. Rehmus were the guests. The several committees responsible for the dance were under the capable guidance of Miss Mertace Canan, the class advisor. The acknowledged success of the party was due to their co-operation. The class was represented on the various committees by forty-one students. Those who served in that capacity were as follows:— Decoration Committee:— Dick Putt, Chairman Barbara Mamby Alonzo Grant Margaret Covill Richard Frederick Wendill Wolfe Dallas Golden Richard Marshall Mary Jane Derickson Charles Hudler Jean Walsh Rena Rosen Harry Keithley Reception Commattee:— David Haughey, Chairman Mary Allen Frederick Katz John Walters Virginia Pfander Donald Bahlman Joyce Harbeck Mariel Jackson Charles Hudler Pauline Kimball Orchestra Committee:— Mary Ida Austin, Chairman William Hart Jeannette Parker Program Committee:— Mary Ann Smith, Chairman Gwen Hinderliter Frederick Kasdorff Ticket Committee:— Ann Bryant, Chairman Harry Martin Forrest Owen Grace Louise Ordway Dick Strasburg Publicity Committee:— Phyllis Keyes, Chairman Georgiana Fuller Helen Crippen Robert Voorhees Glen Allen Lois Babcock Harriet Townsend William Anderson 88 }§•— - 4 . 89 The Sophomore Class FRF.I) STILLMAN President .

Carlyle Tubbs SOPHOMORE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Confronted with unusual obstacles this year, the Sophomore Class, in spite of the influence of straitened financial conditions and a large unwieldly enroll¬ ment, has bravely attempted to adjust itself to the problems arising from the new environment of high school. The class is deeply appreciative of the kind and sincere solicitude of Mrs. Mary Jane Hornbaek, who has guided so carefully those who experienced difficulty in adapting themselves to the curricula and sys¬ tem of Battle Creek High School. Primarily because of these immediate factors that must be coped with, and because of the la rgeness of the class, the Sopho¬ mores participated in a few school activities. However, realizing that there will be a progressive appreciation and enjoy¬ ment of the various activities which characterize the Junior and Senior years, we are looking forward eagerly to the solving of all the problems of adjustment and to our genuine assimilation as a component and contributing group in Battle Creek High School. So, fellow Sophomores, there is much before us—the task of trulv dedicat¬ ing ourselves to our education, and the pleasures that will follow our achieve¬ ments and development of friendships. Therefore, we must realize that only hard work, perseverance and the spirit of unselfish service to the High School will gain for us when we have graduated the inner satisfaction of completing a task—and completing it well. -4 91 4 - SOPHOMORE CLASS OF 1934 AND 1935 Charles Abbey Marian Abbey V irginia Abbey Theodore Anders Geraldint Andre Eldon Andrews Lynn Armour Margaret Arnett Bill Austin Marie Babcock Robert Bacearo Paul Badger Herman Bailey Helen Baker Esther Banks Dolly Barber Leona Barnes Robert Baurs Fred Beckwith Lucille Beckwith Charles Berry Orvis Berry Beverly Bishop Clarence Bishop Edna Blackmer Virginia Blowers Benny Blyveis Beverly Bontiey Opal Borch Ethel Bostock Eileen Bowers Gaylen Bracey Howard Bridenstine David Bright Jean Briggs Bruce Brooks Anita Brown Dorothy Brown Robert Brown Stuart Brown Russell Brown Rosetta Broyles Jean Brunner Robert Burkhead Mildren Burn Nyle Bush William Campbell Betty Canfield Elizabeth Carlson Alberta Carter Harry Casey Ruth Cave Helen Cawood Glendon Cemer Margaret Chambers Wesley Chaney Keith Chapman Dorothy Charlton Carrie Chase Alberta Cheeseman Fred Church Harry Clark Richard Clemence Richard Cleveland Geraldine Clifford Don Coffman Frances Cole Clifford Conkell Orville Convis Dorris Cook Marian Cook Gertrude Cooley Olive Cooper Alma Coppock Marjorie Copus Marvalene Corey Jane Cornwell Roy Cousineau Lyle Correll Helen Cox Barbara Coy Wilson Craig Harley Crall Jeanice Crandall Dorothy Croninger Emma Cronkhite Colonel Cross Norman Cryderman Mary Culver John Cummings Geraldine Curtiss Donald Cyr Wesley Dacons Beverly Daniels Willard Davis Donald Day Chari es De Bow Loyal De Braw Candace De Lano Hazel De Moss Cecil De Rushia Earl Demarmy Glenn Dewey Marcia Dewey Bette Doerr Edna Drake Ernest Drew Carrol Drews Billy Dukeman Rolling Dukeman Mable Durkes Marie Durrstein Gladys Easey Katherine Eaton Guy Ebeling Jean Eckstrom Bob Edwards Cressie Einhardt George Eitniear Jesse Elliott Elizabeth Ellsworth Cecil Englehardt Helen Evans Madeline Evans Barbara Fales Irwin Fay Bob Feebler Marguerite Fenig James Fershee Helen Fish H arry Flook Dick Ford Vauneta Fox Hayes Franklin Eilna Frazier Maxine Fredenburg Bob Freeman Winifred Fuller Jim Furniss Elwood Gandy Teddy Gandy Kenneth Gehrman Helen Germaine Kenneth Gibson Flora Giddings Maurice Goldsworthy Anna Goodale Russell Goodwin Wilma Gould Jean Grant Mary Grant Robert Grant Jack Green Marguerite Green Elizabeth Greeman Lester Griffen Katherine Haeger Maxine Haire Charles Hall lrl Hall Virginia Hallock William Hamilton Evelyn Hamp Bob Hardinburg John Hare Sara Hare Leah Harper Richard Harris Helen Harwood Mildred Hattendorf Harley Haughn Dorothy Hayes Mildred Heckman Mary Hefli n Joe Hendrickson Evelyn Herrington Janice Hickey Evelyn Hicks Hilda Hicks Robert Hicks Emmett Higgins Frances Holeman Linnie Holley Virginia Holmes Dessalee House Mary Hubbell Maxine Huffman Rex Humiston Phyllis Hunn Warwisk Hunt Margaret Hunter Robert Hustwick Russell Hyslop Donald Iden William Irons Dorothy Jackson Harold Jackson Herman Jackson Joe Jackson Robert Jackson Margaret Jarvis Dorothy Jeffery Marjorie James Harold Janson Earle Johnson Francis Johnson Gerald Johnson Lester Johnson Lloyd Johnson Rolland Johnson Clifford Jones Elaine Jones Lyndon Jones Marjorie Jones Patricia Jones Louis Kaufman Jean Keagle Mary Jane Keith Isabelle Kelly Jack Kendall James Ken Kerr Llewellyn King Paul King Roscoe King Robert Kingsley Ruth Kirseh Betty Klacking Leila Kleckner Donald Klepper V irginia Knapper Donald Knerr Lawrence Kranzel Douglas Krueger Katherine Kubit John Kuit Clifford Lampson Kenneth Leeson Waneta Lieb Elaine Larke John D.

HENDRICKSON Students remember high school, not only as an important period of their education, hut also for the good times had there. At graduation, they wish to commemorate the event with a suitable publication which will furnish a permanent record of their school activities, and it is for this purpose that Paeans are instituted among seniors, deriving their value and beauty from the work of the Paean Board. It is evident that the election of a Paean Board is important. This year a new procedure was followed. Before the regular primary election was held, a committee headed by Reid Hatfield, the Class President, recommended to the class several well-qualified candidates for each position. The Paean Board finally elected speaks for the success of this plan. Robert Lam, heading the Board as editor-in-chief, possesses all the true qualities of leader¬ ship necessary to the office. A large share of the credit for this yearbook should go to him; his originality and energy were largely instrumental in its success. Much credit should also he given to his able assistant. Bill Polity, whose fine work as assistant editor should he commended. The financial success of the Paean is dependent on the work of Bruce Bowers, whom we believe is one of the most capable business managers the publication has ever had. Indus¬ trious and dependable, he has done a responsible job well. For the literary work, quotations, and much of the written material in this Paean, the class owes its thanks to Marjorie Niergarth, a very capable Literary Editor. The task of making the Paean a thing of beauty was given to Vivien Rizor, art editor. To this young artist and her able assistant, Albert Lane, go the credit for the fine art work on these pages. John Wentworth was wisely chosen Sports Editor, and he has done well his job of as¬ sembling the records of the school’s athletic achievements for the year. And last, hut not least, the class is i ndebted to Norman Russell, Joke Editor, for the humor appearing in this Paean. These are the members of the Paean Board. Their w r ork has produced this yearbook. The class elects them, and then promptly forgets the whole matter, knowing that, a few months later, the completed Paean will appear. The Paean Board works in comparative obscurity, and sometimes for little appreciation. Therefore, the Senior Class takes this time to express its thanks for the service which this P f.an Board has rendered it. -I6f 97 };V Chemistry Club President .Paul Steele Vice-President .Dick May Secretary . Phyllis Keyes Treasurer .Norman Russell The Chemistry Club, since the founding of Battle Creek High School, has heen one of the most active of extra-curricula organizations. The Cluh this year was extremely popular with the students, because of the attractive program offered. Through the leadership of capa¬ ble officers and the co-operation of members, the club functioned very satisfactorily. The aim of the cluh was to act as a social organization for chemistry students and offered as the highlights of the year, tlie initiation, the Christmas party, the spring picnic and several factory trips. In new membership, this year far outshone any previous enrollment. There were two initiations—those who survived the ordeal, held Oct. 26, were: George Schwass, Georgiana Fuller, Eva May King, James Ashton, John Walters, Boh Hickman, Mil¬ dred McGee, Russell Worgess, Helen Crippen, Betty Jarvis, Bill Cummings, HarlanColburn, Faye Blashfield. The following people passed the Ordeal of Superstition and the Ordeal of the Five Senses, on February 21st: Genevieve Baker. Wayne Miller, Marion Sprout, Robert Braby, June Weber, Claribel Brainard, Rosemary Cosgrove, Dick Howell, Elizabeth Nichols, Carlton Alwart, Don Stearns, Beatrice Dunbroek, Doris Rogers, Elmer Mills, Dorothy Wells, Joanne Wheaten, Mae McGhee, Elizabeth Woods, June Sheffield, Ruth Hawks, Juelma Wood- worth, Margaret Main, Robert Kellogg, Harry Flook, Phil Millson, Robert Davis, Dorin Moore, Evelyn Dow, Wilma Rizor, Margaret O ' Niel, Jean Beckwith, Don Potter, Merna Bell Hall, Arlene Wiegand, Claude Phinsey, Betty Cummings, Katheryne Hannah. All of the old members took part in putting over the initiation. They are the following persons: Dwight Philips, Glen McAllister, Howard Williams, Norman Russell, Paul Steele, Jo Seage, Donna Button, Dick May, Jack Roelofs, Phyllis Keyes, George Van Duesen, George Roach. Neil Bush. The meetings themselves were anything but dull. Interesting and unusual experiments were carried out such as chemical volcanic eruptions and developing films. The skit, “A Bur¬ lesque Lecture on Explosives,” was presented by John Walters and James Ashton, and other amusing programs added to the life of the club. Tn addition to the business meetings, trips were made through local factories for the pur¬ pose of giving the student a knowledge of the practical application of chemistry in industry. The members were shown the process of enameling stoves at the A-B Stove Co. The Ferrel Home Dairy offered a prize to the student submitting the best essay concerning the informa¬ tion gathered on the trip through the concern. The Kalamazoo Parchment Mills offered a full afternoon of entertainment to the club, besides giving a most educational survey of the factory. Tbi s year’s Christmas party, which was held at the Postum Clubhouse, will he well remem¬ bered by the members. Entertainment was provided by the playing of progressive bunco, dancing, and a Santa Claus in the person of Bill Smith, who bestowed gifts and blessings on all those present. 98 The Commercial EVELYN DOW (Tub President .

Price and Mr. G. I). Cooley. The club ' s aim is to promote the knowledge and interest of business students and to acquaint them with commercial activities. The members of the club this year were fortunate in obtaining the direct opinions of local business men cencerning the primary essentials of a stenographic position. The speakers that addressed the club this year were: Mr. Schurtz of the .1. C. Penney Co.; Mr. Halcomb. President of Argubright’s Business College; and Mr. Verhoek, of the Central Bank. However, the meetings have not been devoted only to commercial dissertations, hut have been interspersed with entertainment. The Christmas party was considered by those in at¬ tendance as one of the most successful activities of the school year. Mr. Rehmus, Mr. Price, and Mr. Cooley, each responded with a few appropriate remarks. Betty Hendrickson gave a brief review of Christmas in Hollan d. Various games, dancing, exchange of gifts, and re¬ freshments were enjoyed. The gathering, in accordance with the Christmas spirit, ended in a very fitting manner — with mass singing of carols.

Miss Magnotta, the newly chosen faculty advisor, guided the ship with great skill. In September, the annual membership drive was started by a girls’ assembly and a “get acquainted” party. Many dances were sponsored throughout the year. In November, the football team was honored with dancing to the music of Lynn McComb. A Christmas matinee dance was held December 20th, with seasonal candy as refreshments. Harold Ives furnished the music for a basketball dance in January. In February, a combination sandwich sale and dance proved very successful. The state swimming victory was celebrated by a St. Patrick’s dance in honor of the team. The most anticipated social event of every year the latter part of that month. the May Parly, which was held in In addition to the social activities, other projects were carried out. At such times as Thanksgiving and Christmas, baskets of food were distributed to the needy. Throughout the year, many steps were taken toward the improvement of the school. The board this year consisted of: Chairman of Entertainment, Donna Jean Ware; Chair¬ man of Membership, Mary Ida Austin; Chairman of Social Service, Jane Jickling; Chairman of Rest Rooms, Barbara Markham; Chairman of School Service, Ann Flanders; Chairman of Publicity, Barbara Manby; Faculty Advisor, Miss Magnotta.

The Club, under the leadership of Mr. Phares of the faculty, has, in the past year, been enlarged from a membership of forty to a new total of one hundred one, in order that it might he capable of fulfilling the increased demand for its service. In the current school year of 1934-35, the members have had charge of checkrooms at the Junior-Senior Reception, the Senior Prom, and the J-IIop. In addition, the reservation of tickets and ushering for the Junior play, the Senior play, and the Operetta, were cared for by the Club. The Club also helped at the Kellogg Company Christmas Party, the “World at Our Door” lectures, “The Vanities,” and several other events, including decorating for football games. This year a plan was initiated which made it possible for members who fulfilled certain requirements to obtain a silver club pin as a first year member, and a gold pin after two years of service. Although unusually active as a service organization, the group found time to place several social activities on the Club calendar. In the main, the social side consisted of a weiner roast early in the fall, a Christmas party and a Saint Patrick’s party. At the present time, plans arc being formulated for the annual picnic which last year was held at Mr. Frank Kulp ' s cottage at Fine Lake. The following members are graduating seniors: — J. W.

DAVll) ENSIGN Batti.e Creek High School’s debating team competed again this year in the Michigan High School Forensic Association elimination series, and was defeated only in the quarter¬ finals. During this successful season the debaters won all of their first seven contests, several of which placed them in opposition to some of Michigan ' s strongest teams. The record which the team has earned this year, despite circumstances which may at times have seemed dis¬ heartening, justifies its inclusion among the eight best debating groups in the entire state. Defeating Hastings and Lansing Central in the first two preliminary debates, Battle Creeek, upholding the negative, was represented b Reid Hatfield, Stanley Everett and Robert Lam. In subsequent debates, Lee Mallison spoke in the place of Robert Lam. Contests in which Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo were defeated completed tbe preliminary series. Battle Creek tak¬ ing the negative in these meets. Their experienced coach, Karl Robinson, who piloted last year’s debaters to the final contest at Ann Arbor, left Battle Creek High before the elimination series began. Edward Freed, tlieir new forensic mentor, assumed his duties February 4tb. In three contests which placed them in the quarter-finals, the debaters were victorious over Grand Rapids, Ottawa Hills, Muskegon, and Holland Christian high schools. On March 29th, a two-to-one vote of the judges decreed their defeat by East Lansing. The subject of the association debates this year was, Resolved: That the Federal Govern¬ ment should adopt the policy of equalizing educational opportunity throughout the nation by means of annual grants to the several slates for public elementary and secondary education. This timely proposition aroused interest in the financial condition of schools throughout the nation. As a result of Battle Creek High School’s participation in the elimination, the University of Michigan Wall Plaque Trophy was presented to the high school, and lapel buttons were awarded tbe debaters. At the beginning of this eventful and profitable season, the debaters, who had had no previous forensic experience, were given the benefit of veteran Karl Robinson’s knowledge, and nicely developed bis style of vigorous adaptation and logical reasoning, which served them in good stead later in the season. They are also indebted to Edward Freed’s additional effort and instruction, which, with their extensive research and unremitting labor, enabled them, while understandably failing to quite reach tbe goal set by last year’s men, to lorge into the forefront of the state’s forensic activity. The high school may take legitimate pride in the accomplishments of this year’s debating team. Overcoming inexperience and the inevitable confusion resultant from changes ol per¬ sonnel, it has represented Battle Creek High School both honorably and well. —-� s{ 103 Dramatic Club MARY ALLEN President . Priscilla Kemp Vice-President . Rober t Lam Secretary . Edward Dobbins Treasurer . Mary Allen The first meeting of tlie Dramatic Club was held in the early part of November. At this meeting, new officers were elected and plans made for tryouts for those students desiring mem¬ bership. From those trying out, the following were admitted: June Weber, Carrroll Beckwith, Reid Hatfield, Stanley Everett, Russell Carpenter, Helen Smith, Vivien Blanchard, Hazel Robinson, Mary Lou Weideman, Jo Seage, Sally Mustard, Ralph Robertson, James Ashton, Marcia Maine, Grace Ordway, Mary Ann Smith, Ann Patton, Darwin Shopoff, Clark Turner, Virginia Pfander, Harriet Townsend, Jean Walsh, Gene Cams, Kate Lewis, Claude Phinesy, Laura Schwass and Esther Winans. As guest speaker at the first meeting attended by the new members, Mr. O’Connel, of Battle Creek College, gave an interesting talk concerning the essentials of dramatics. Due to the loss of their competent advisor, Mr. Robinson, the first of the year was quiet, hut under the new program proposed by the new advisor, Mr. Edward Freed, the club began to get in full swing again. . Great interest was created by each member having the opportunity to do and study what he liked best, such as acting, directing, experimenting with make-up, costuming, play writing, and scenery. Along with these interests, the members have great expectations for the coming year. Among the activities of the club was the presentation of a one-act play at a parent-teacher meeting in March. Later, two one-act plays were presented to the student body. — •{ 104 Jo — President . Secretary . Treasurer . Faculty Advisor Paul Gunyon . Jim Palmer Joe Willson Mr. Heydon The Franklin Club, because of its vocational character, is one of the most practical or¬ ganizations engaged in extra-curricula activity. Fundamentally, the club is motivated by tlie purpose of instilling a greater interest in tlie art of printing by informal discussion. The membership was necessarily limited to those who have had sufficient experience to participate intelligently in the club’s activities; in other words, those enrolled in the printing classes or those that have had past training. Students with the intention of following printing as a vocation have been warmly received by club members. The Franklin Club, with the intention of widening its scope of practical printing knowl¬ edge and information concerning its allied industries, plans to initiate a system of correspond¬ ence with high school printing shops, firms and foreign organizations. Not only has the club been active in furthering the interest for printing, but it lias also been a source of pleasant social entertainments.

The purpose of the high school group, known as the Satellite Girl Reserve Club, is to strengthen and create the ideals and habits of exemplary living. To effect this objective, the Club’s program during the past year has been fourfold, based on Health, Knowledge, Service and Spirit. In the interest of physical development, hikes and trips to the Girl Reserve Camp on Gull Lake have been taken. Knowledge lias been fostered through club discussions, programs and speakers. The spirit of service has shown itself in the giving of Thanksgiving baskets, sewing for the needy, and serving at Y. W. C. A. suppers. One of the outstanding events on the club’s calendar this year was the annual Girl Re¬ serve Conference held in Kalamazoo, which was attended by Charlotte Growt, Lena Slier, and Betty Bohn. Several weeks after the conference, a banquet of the Lakeview Central High and Junior High girls was held, at which the representatives gave talks about the Conference. The club’s most important project this semester has been knitting, supervised by Mrs. J. H. Fishe. Besides supervising the regular Girl Reserve Club work, the Y. W. C. A. Secretary, Mrs. Bernadine Staples, has discussed the subject of girls and their problems with those interested in “Y” work.

The purpose of the club is to develop appreciation of mathematics and to stimulate interest in it by the use of mathematical material not directly allied to class room work. The club’s faculty advisor was Mrs. Dorothy Van Deusen, who has been with the group since it was first organized in the fall of 1930. Meetings of the club were held every other Wednesday. At each meeting, some program of a mathematical nature was offered. Minute mysteries were solved at two of the meetings, there being a close relation between the methods employed by a mathematician in solving a problem, and by a detective in solving a crime. A program on the nature of magic squares was given and a geometric demonstration that 64=65. served to amuse the members. Several members staged a most entertaining contest consisting of diagrams, cartoons, equations, and statements, which depicted various mathematical terms. Mr. Fred Zinn, local patent at¬ torney, gave an interesting talk on, “Aviation and Mathematics.” At one meeting the use of the sextant in finding latitude at sea and the transit in surveying, were explained. A Christ¬ mas party, held the Wednesday before vacation, afforded an enjoyable change and with the approach of spring, the members are looking forward to the annual picnic and a still better club another year.

The primary purpose of the paper is to maintain unity among the students and to serve as a laboratory for the journalism class. The publication also acts as a means for obtaining practical experience in writing feature articles, sports reviews, and other journalistic compositions. Students on the Key staff have an exceptional opportunity through inter¬ views, to have the pleasure of meeting many famous personalities who come to I he high school as speakers. The Key has been remarkably successful, especially during the past year, under the supervision of its efficient stall and its faculty advisor. Miss Parepa I ngraham. Among other features, the Key also has a large exchange with other Mich¬ igan high schools and also many extra-state organizations. Its main achievement for the year was the winning of fourth place in the Columbia University awards for high school journalistic excellence. Over two thousand papers participated in the contest. The Key should he congratulated for all it has accomplished as the repre¬ sentative publication of Battle Creek High School. 4( 109 } President . Vice-President Secretary . Trensurer . LEE M4LLISON .

The first meeting of the year was held to elect officers of the club. Richard Black was selected, at this time, to take charge of activities and programs. Mr. Gibbs, of the History Department, was in charge of the group. Other teachers attended the meetings from time to time and their remarks were of benefit to the discussions. The discusions, carried on during the year, dealt with situations prevalent at the time of the meetings. Among the topics were, “’Should America Abandon Building Lighter Than Air Craft, and the Italian-Abyssinian dispute. Among the guest speakers at our meetings was President Leffler, of Battle Creek College. He spoke on the timely subject, “The New Deal. After his speech, President Leffler conducted a free-lance questioning pro¬ gram, in which he answered various interrogations of the student members. Because of President Leffler’s repute as a speaker, not only members, but also a number of other students were attracted to the meeting. By means of these informal debates, phases of political movements were brought before the members, who could not in their regular class work, discuss these topics fully. - { 110 Noon Dances THEO LOUISE WINSLOW During the past year the frivolity of the student body lias found expression at the noon hour dances, sponsored by the General Organization Fund. The gay tunes of school orchestras have broken the monotonous noon entertain¬ ments, and have supplied the forty-five-minute period with a joyous rendezvous of music and unrestrained laughter from both students and faculty members. Due to the continued basketball game schedules to be played in the hoy ' s gymnasium, the room which formerly housed the school cafeteria was converted into a ballroom. The floor was relaid and polished so as to accommodate the social activities of our school. The room was adequately large enough to afford ease in dancing, also the numerous windows made possible a splendid air circu¬ lation. Consequently, it is an excellent spot for noon dances, which, for the past year, have been under the competent supervision of Mrs. Jane Wilson, Spanish and Latin instructor. During the 1934-35 term, Harold Ives and his student orchestra has provided the music for the noon-hour revelers. Although the organization of the hand has been formed only recently, the orchestrations were of splendid tempo and aided the student in seeking recreation during his noon period. It has been the good fortune of Mrs. Wilson to be able to secure added attrac¬ tions for these dances, which list ten during a school term. The lively feet of two colored hoys brought praise from the students, as well as other deviations which have been obtained. To add to the stimulation which has been created by extra attractions, the art department under Miss Bangham has answered the call by making colorful posters as a reminder to the busy student, the date of the noon dances. Vividness and fantasy have been the keynote of these produc¬ tions, which have created enthusiasm and keenness toward school activities this. term. The social affairs of our school year are one feature in which sophomores, juniors, and seniors, all intermingle regardless of scholastic standards. Ibis the General Organization dances have accomplished, and thus takes its place among the worthwhile affairs of Battle Creek High School. 111 i iumi Radio Club NORM N O’DELL President .Norman O ' Dell Vice-President ..Russell Mercer Secretary-Treasurer .Raymond Reynolds The radio club this year was chiefly ' concerned with learning the fundamentals of radio. At each meeting a talk was given by Mr. Roof, the club advisor, or else by one of the mem hers. These speeches were on one of the three basic radio fundamentals: inductance, re¬ sistance, and capacity. Diagrams were drawn on the board and explanations given. All three basic fundamentals must he mastered before the literature of higher radio can he read and understood. The most interesting phase of radio that some of the club members were experimenting with was five meter broadcasting. The chief characteristics of this type of broadcasting are compactness and efficiency of equipment, simplicity, and economy, in operation, one station remains stationary, while the other station is taken into an automobile. These stations may he operated while the car is in motion. Recently, a word description of a fire was broad¬ casted by the portable operator and every other five meter station had the pleasure of listening to this broadcast. This portable station, with a range of approximately ten miles, is similar to the larger stations, for the purpose of broadcasting descriptions of important news events. This new type of radio was demonstrated before the radio club in an interesting way. The members taking part were Paul Steele, Russell Mercer and Norman O ' Dell. The small port¬ able station was taken in an automobile about the city and during the time the car was mov¬ ing, a conversation was maintained between the portable and station W81JN belonging to Norman O Dell. The reception was amplified and thrown out into the room with great volume by the amplifier constructed by Mr. Roof. The hobby, radio, can be very amusing as well as educational, and the boys, through the club, have obtained a start in radio which may lead to a very successful vocation in later life. - 4 112 113 - €f 114 }§ ” - OPERETTA Operetta ISABELLE AVERY Harmony Hall, ' a comic operetta by Harry B. Smith and Geoffrey O ' Hara, was the first High School musical production to he presented in the W. K. Kellogg Auditorium. The east included the following: General Earnest Work, honorary president of Harmony Hall, Albert Lane; Doolittle Work, his unmusical son, Reid Hat¬ field; McTavish, a Scotch lawyer, James Ashton; Wiggins, the General’s valet, and formerly the leader of a street band, Darwin Shopoff; Elsa, the cook, and formerly an opera singer, Margaret Covill; Signor Felix Brownini, a Grand Opera tenor. Dale Huffman; Octave, Brownini ' s valet, Raymond Malotte: Wright Story, Brownini’s press agent, Paul 1 ice: Mile. Rosalie, a prima donna, and the General ' s newly adopted daughter, Beverly Hunt: Maritana. her maid and understudy Phyllis Leppo; Mrs. Hammerslv Kevs, a concert pianist, and Rosalie’s chaperone, Dorothv Swihart; Phil. Tom, Ted and Bill, members of the Glee Club, Gilbert Preston. Ralph Hughes, George Van Deusen and Bill Penty; Stella, Laura, Alice and Mahle, members of the St. Cecilia Choir, Graee Louise Ordway, Gene Cams, Phyllis Keyes and Isabelle Averv. The scene of the action was the campus of Harmony Hall, a musical college, supported by the musical monomaniac. General Work. His son. Doolittle, was discovered to be unmusical at a verv early age, and McTavish was hired to keep the boy away from his father. At tlx time of the action, the General had just arranged a marriage between his adopted daughter, Rosalie, and Signor Brownini, in the hope that they would sing in his new opera. I pon their arrival at Harmony Hall, the engagement was duly announced. However, the hopes of the General were completely shattered when the two artistic temperaments clashed. I pon the advice of Mrs. Hammerslv Keys, the ' General was to find a young man to pretend to be in love with Rosalie, as a “jealousy stimulant for Signor Brownini. The young man selected for this job happened to he Doo¬ little, who, under the name of Smith, had become the business manager of the Glee Club. Doolittle was delighted with the prospect, because lie had alreadv fallen in love with the prima donna. Instead of conveniently falling in with the plans, Brownini fell in love with Maritana, because she was an excellent cook. General Work and Mrs. Keys added to the romance by deciding to marry and, incidentally, to spend their honeymoon apart, so her practicing twenty hours a day would not interfere with the General’s composing. Thus, everyone was completely happy when McTavish, with the promise of a pension, restored to the General his son. Opinions differed as to whether tlx plot was good or indifferent, hut most agreed upon the latter. However, the singing and acting of the leads offset this deficiency. Beverly Hunt’s voice was particularly sweet and pleasing, and one of her most popular numbers was a novelty, “He Isn ' t My Style at All. Dale Huffman’s lyric tenor blended beautifully with Beverly’s soprano in their duet, as well as with the boys, in a serenade. Reid Hatfield was a very convincing young lover, while Albert Lane played the eccentric musician exactly as it should be played. Among the scene stealers were Margaret Covill and Darwin Shopoff, whose song and dance were especially well executed; and also James Ashton, who most effectively portrayed young Work ' s very Scotch guardian. Much credit is due those who coached and assisted in the performance: Paul Tamini, music, Emily Marsh, dramatics; Ruth Martin, dances; Helen Maveety, costumes; Linus Heydon, printing; Eleanor Bangham, posters; Loyal Phares, tickets; Fred Errington, scenery; Carroll Beckwith, stage manager; Clyde Tay¬ lor, advertising. -Hg( 115 } - ■4 116 ' THE BATTLE CREEK HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The Orchestra GEORGE ROACH This year has been probably the most successful that the high school orchestra, under the direction of Paul Tammi, has ever enjoyed. Not only has the personnel increased over that of preceding years, but the orchestra has played for some of the largest audiences in its history. The first appearance of the orchestra was at the Junior Play, “The Budget,” which was given in the W. K. Kellogg Auditorium on December 13, 1934. By this time, a complete pro¬ gram had been prepared; and the orchestra was honored by being asked to play for the Roy Chapman Andrews lecture in the “World-At-Our-Door” Lecture Series. It was at this appear¬ ance that it played before the largest audience of the year, approximately 2,400 people, one of the largest ever to he entertained by a high school orchestra. With the beginning of the second semester, the organization received many new members, and although losing several old musicians by graduation and other reasons, the net result was that the orchestra became larger than before. Some time was spent in training these new members and it was not until Sunday, March 3, that the orchestra again appeared at a joint band and orchestra concert in the W. K. Kellogg Auditorium. The soloists for the afternoon were Miss Betty Buckley and Harry Martin. Miss Buckley very capably performed “Mozart Concerto,” accompanied by the orchestra. After the Sunday concert, much time was devoted to the operetta, “Harmony Hall,” which was given in the W. K. Kellogg Auditorium, March 21. After the performance for the Senior play, the final appearance was at the May Festival. Although this was only the second of these festivals, it was well attended and enjoyed. Not only did the orchestra perform for these occasions, hut during the past year smaller groups from within the orchestra played at various functions. These smaller groups played for the Little Theatre, and for a number of dinners, banquets, and social gatherings. The one personality who richly deserves the praise due the orchestra is Mr. Paul Tammi, whose diminutive figure and dynamic individuality have won him unusual popularity among the student body.

The band has that happy faculty of being able to step in at the right moment and “save the day.” It has always been willing to help, whether assistance was in the form of marching noisily down Michigan Avenue, or playing the harmonious music of a concert. In the past year, the band has distinguished itself many times in an unusual manner. Of course, the boys w r ere an integral part of the athletics, being present at the football and basket¬ ball games, as well as the pep meetings. The band distinguished itself not oidy in school affairs, but in the community functions as well. When the new Michigan Avenue pavement was opened, the band did an admirable job of marching, in spite of the cold weather. Al¬ though their instruments were nearly frozen, the boys played well and were rewarded for their efforts with a new bass drum. When Senator LaFolIette appeared on the Lecture Course, the band made the waiting minutes more delightful for the audience with a few r tunes and ended its part of the program by playing, “On Wisconsin,” in honor of “Young Bob. When Lowell Thomas, celebrated news commentator and world traveler, lectured in Battle Creek, Mr. Tammi and his lads were there to greet him with a few selections to open the evening. On Sunday, March 3d, the band, in collaboration with the orchestra, gave a concert. As usual, the boys played up to their high standard and carried their part of the program nicely. The musicale was enjoyed by several hundred people. In the most important musical event of the year (the Music Week Festival), the band took an active part to climax the week of music from all the schools in the city. The band has been exceedingly busy this year; the functions mentioned here were but the high spots in a school year full of interest and activity for the hoys in the band. The school should and does appreciate the efforts put forth by the ever-widening group of musicians, for without them the high school would he distinctly lacking in a valuable phase of school life.

This year we were favoreil with a larger number of coaches than ever, because of the new system of required physical training. Mr. Knode, well-known coach and Director of Athletics in the High School, came to us in 1931, and has since pulled our football and baseball teams into the limelight. Mr. Knode is a former Big League baseball player and has also participated in football and basketball. Fred Moffett and Stanley Skidmore, capable helpers of Mr. Knode, helped to coach the many football aspirants. Mr. Moffett came to us from California, where he played on the championship football team of that state. He later played at the University of Michigan, coached in Ann Arbor, and then came to us as a line coach. Mr. Skidmore graduated from here in 192-1, then he entered the University of Michigan, where he played varsity baseball. Harold Beebe returns to us this year to again take over the reins in basketball and track and as a teacher of physical training. Mr. Beebe is another old Bearcat on our coaching staff. After playing football, basketball, baseball, and track, he attended Western State Teachers College. Charles McCaffree Jr., comes to us from South Dakota. In 1926, Mr. McCaffree entered the University of Michigan, where he had four years of swimming under that great coach. Mat Mann. Mr. McCaffree came to us upon his graduation from the U. of M., and has suc¬ cessfully brought our swimming team into national rating. Mr. Vander Meer, although one of our history teachers, is also a very splendid tennis coach. He went to Hope College in 1925, and then graduated to teach school at St. Johns. Later, he attended the University of Michigan. From there, he came to us and has success¬ fully taught history and coached the tennis team. Mr. Postma, another history teacher, has given his faithful services outside of class to golf. Mr. Postma received his A. B. degree at Calvin College, then went to the University of Michigan, where he received his A. M. degree. After teaching in Iowa, Washington, and Grand Rapids, he came to Battle Creek, where he now teaches U. S. History and coaches golf. With this galaxy of coaches. Battle Creek High School can rightfully expect great heights in the sporting world. Gym Classes j RAY ROSA In the fall of this year, a new r precedent was established in the curriculum of Battle Creek High School. Because of official action, compulsory physical education was initiated, with the purpose of developing health and strength among the more or less “aenemic males” of the stu¬ dent body. Twice a week, all boys except those with a doctor’s excuse, were forced to par¬ ticipate in gym classes. During the fall months, the hoys met on Genebach Field and under the supervision of Coaches Knode and Beebe, they played baseball, soccer or football. However, with the arrival of cold weather, it was necessary for the classes to he held in the gym. Here the hoys obtained instructions concerning basketball. Calisthenics, relays and various games, presented a diver¬ sified program for the physical development of the male students. In spite of large classes, the instructors very successfully conducted the classes and made them comparably pleasant and beneficial for all of the hoys. The girls, also, in the initial part of March were initiated to physical education, under the supervision of Miss Shouldice. Participating in less strenuous activities than the hoys, they enjoyed the classes and went so far as to comment upon the ' reducing powers’ of compulsory physical education. { 123 Baseball JOHN WENTWORTH The First Cai.l for baseball aspirants resulted in a response of about eighty candidates. They were confined to indoor practice for several weeks because of weather conditions, but they look to be as powerful as ever. There were five lettermen to return this year: namely. Captain Faustin, Art Raymond, Cerney Mitchell, Murray Goble and Dick Edmonds. These, with several newcomers, Lester Johnson, Buzz Jones, Herman Beaver, Ray Strunk, Mack Redden, Leo Levitt and McGee, make up the tentative team that will see a great deal of action this season. Unable to have but four days of intensive outdoor drill, the Bearcats played host to the powerful South Bend nine. The game resulted in a pitching duel between Art Raymond, high school’s star right hander, and Norman Esarey of South Bend. The Bearcats were unable to connect and scored but three runs. South Bend, however, was able to hunch their hits and forced eight runs across the plate, to give Battle Creek their first defeat. Murray Goble sustained a broken collar hone just before the game and so his valuable services will he lost for the rest of the season. The schedule is as follows:— April 20, South Bend (here) May 6, Michigan State Frosh (there) May 8, Lansing Eastern (there) May 13, Western State Frosh (here) May 18, South Bend (there) May 21, Western State Frosh (there) May 24, Lansing Eastern (here) -4 124 ) 3 — -■•§( 125 } ■ uv i(5s tivhiooj a hi Football JOHN E. WENTWORTH With only two weeks before the opening game, about 100 candidates reported Labor Day for the the 1934 Bearcat football squad. Five letter men returned this year: Captain Soots- man, Jim Love, Orest Faustin, Lee Orns, and Art Raymond. With these as a nucleus, Coach Knode, aided by Stan Skidmore and Fred MolTitt, began building what was to be a comparatively strong team. Captain Sootsman filled in his center position with Lemon and Wentworth working as flankmen. Big Lee Orns and Estell played the tackles, while Faustin and Edmonds, with ‘‘Red” Spaulding as alternate, served in the ends. In the baekfield Sebo, Beaver and Lyons worked as halfbacks, while Love and Mitchell alternated at quarter. Sherrod, Allen and Brandimore took turns playing fullback. The Bearcats opened their season with the initial game with Hastings at Genehacli field and emerged victorious from a hard fought 27-0 struggle. The team next journeyed to Albion, where they first began to show what they could do in the way of a diversified attack. Mitchell’s punting gave the fans a pleasant surprise, hut it was Art Raymond’s toe that won the game, which finally ended with the score 7-6. Next, Battle Creek played host to Jackson for her first 5-A game. Although outplaying them in almost every department, the Bearcats lost to the tune of 7-6. The loss of Raymond was greatly felt. Sunny Bauer’s eleven from Coldwater, however, journeyed to Battle Creek, where they were defeated 12-0. Beaver and Edmonds stole the show with their uncanny running and snatching of passes. Jim Love was injured and consequently was lost for the rest of the season. The Maize and Blue next encountered their age-old rivals, Kalamazoo, at the home field. In the third period, Sebo, aided by Lady Luck, took a deflected pass and ran thirty yards to score. Mitchell’s place kick was good, and placed the locals on the long end of the score 14-13. At Lansing Eastern, Battle Creek was defeated 20-0 by last year ' s 5-A champions. The running and blocking of Smith and Sherman could not he coped with. In Ann Arbor the following week, however, the Bearcats put a smooth working outfit on the field, which played with a do-or-die spirit and were rewarded with an upset of 6-0. The same fine team and spirit lined up against the Lansing Central team for the last game of the season, hut were unable to break a scoreless deadlock. Seventeen B. C.’s were awarded to the squad as follows: Faustin, Orns, Lemon, Sebo. Captain Sootsman. Wentworth, Estell, Edmonds. Mitchell, Lyons, Beaver, Brandimore, Sherrod, Allen, Love, Spaulding, Redden, Kranzel, and Rizor. Numerals were awarded to Fox, Strunk, Thomas, Tubes, Venn, and Wawyzsyko. Man¬ ager awards were given to John MacDonald and Wayne Arnett. The Bearcats received further gridiron laurels with the selection of Sootsman as Captain of Remington’s All-state Football Team. Edmonds, Orns, Lemon and Sherrod were given honorable mention on the mythical squad. -4 126 ) 3 � i 127 $ .•a ' m W: 1 V-’ mmmm « ' « i � « � ' -- ■ ' ' ■ T 1 ‘ 1 Til X Swimming JOHN WENTWORTH Swimming has more than coni into its own in Battle Creek High School in the last few years. Under the tutelage of Charles McCaffree, Jr., during the last five years, the swimming squad has made many unusual records: five consecutive 5-A League and State Championships; second place national rating 1933-34; perfect record in its own pool; only four defeats in the last five years (no school having a winning average over them) ; and an establishment of an annual exhibition with the University of Michigan team. Also many individual honors have been won. Boh Simons, rated All-American diver in 1933; Elmer Sootsman, All-American 50 and 100 yard free stvler in 1934; Bill Janes, All-American 220 yard free styler in 1934, and Oscar Yepez, All-American breaststroker, 1934. Also the 200 yard free style relay team won distinction as All-Americans in 1934. Those to compose the team were: Elmer Sootsman, Bill Janes, Bert Reedy and Gordon Hoyt. This year Coach McCaffree welcomed a squad of well balanced veterans and a host of new comers. He at once imparted to the boys the valuable fundamentals, technical training and an unlimited amount of enthusiasm, as shown by the season’s outcome. The first two meets arranged with the Civic Recreation and the Alumni were of little more than warm-ups for the older fellows, but proved to he of great benefit to the new comers. The varsity won both meets, 40-35 and 41-34, respectively. The first Interscholastic meet of the year was with Oak Park. Led by Captain Hudler, Elmer Sootsman and Bert Reedy, the team won a goodly revenge for last year by defeating them, 54-21. The following two weeks, the Bearcat Natators spent in easily splashing themselves to vic¬ tories over Lansing Eastern, 48-27 and Ypsilanti Central, 51-24. The 150-yard medley relay team of Dzioba, Hudler, and Reedy, succeeded in establishing a likely interscholastic record in the Ypsilanti meet. Mid-semester saw the graduation of Bert Reedy and Elmer Sootsman, All-Americans last year. Despite this, the team left Lansing Central in their wake by defeating them, 55-20. Dobson Burton, David Haughey and Jack Cooper, successfully filled the gap left by graduation. On February second, the Battle Creek tankers journeyed to South Bend, where they showed up in characteristic form, defeating them 44-31. After defeating Jackson 53-22, the swimmers went to Culver Military Academy, where they remained over night. The hosts showed the hoys a wonderful time, but gave them their only defeat of the season, 38-37. Coach McCaffree next pitted the tankers against the University of Michigan squad in an exhibition meet. Strengthened by the return of Reedy and Sootsman, the Bearcats showed up well against the Big Ten champs. This meet, although not counted, is one looked forward to by the hoys, for it places them against All-Americans and Olympic champs. After defeating Ann Arbor 43-32, the swimmers went to Jackson to defend their 5-A title. They not only were victorious, hut also established several new records. Captain Hudler shortened the 100-vard breast stroke record, Dzioba broke the 100-yard back stroke, and the 150-yard medley relay set a new mark. Ann Arbor was second, scoring 22 points, with the Bearcats scoring 44 points. On March ninth, the team went to Ann Arbor, where they successfully defended their State Championship. They were able to qualify fifteen boys in the morning, and in the after¬ noon, they came through victorious, establishing several new state records. Captain Hudler broke the old 100-yard breast stroke of the time. The 150-yard medley relay team also broke the old record of 1:29 by splashing off the distance in 1:28.6. The team scored 33 points, with Fordson High their nearest competitors, with 15 points. Those boys to receive major awards were. Captain Hudler, Bert Reedy, Elmer Sootsman, Dobson Burton, Jack Cooper, Pete Dzioba, David Haughey, Harry Hunt, William Knowles, James MacMillian, Bartlett Voorhies and Fred Stillman. Those to receive numerals were: Edward Aikene, Junior Capron, Bill Dzioba, Robert Ogilvie, Forest Owen, Dick Putt, George VanDeusen, Winifred Wilson, Donald Day, and Frank John. -“• §{ 128 )§► Basketball JOHN E. WENTWORTH Again favored by the capable services of Coach Beebe, the first call for the 1935 basket¬ ball squad was heartily met with, as shown by the turn-out of around eighty candidates. Of these, only three were lettermen returning from last year, namely. Captain Edmonds, Murray Goble, and Albert Sebo. With these as a nucleus. Coach Beebe had but two weeks in which to fill the vacancies left by graduation. Those to earn places on the team were: Neibauer, Jackson, Roche, Mitchell, Tubbs, Redden, Husted, Barns, Kellogg, Palmer, McDonald, Rounds, Welch, and Johnson. After two weeks of intensive drill the team journeyed to Coldwater, where a smooth working five defeated Battle Creek 27-21. The following day, the Bearcats suffered a severe trouncing at the hands of South Bend, being defeated 41-14. Although beaten in both starts, the team still showed fine spirit and sportsmanship. When the team played host to Ann Arbor for the first 5-A tilt, although showing great improvement. Battle Creek was unable to subdue them, and was again on the short end of the score, 24-21. The next week the squad journeyed to Kalamazoo, where a tall, rangy Celery five chalked up another victory at the Bearcat’s expense, 30-21. Two weeks later an improved hall club took the floor against Jackson and gave the fans a real idea of what they could do. At the end of the first quarter the score was tied; at the end of the half the score was again tied, and again at the end of the third period; but never giving up that Old Bearcat spirit under the leadership of Captain Edmonds, the final whistle found Battle Creek victors, 22-21. Still possessing great spirit and good team work, the team lost a thriller to Lansing Eastern by one point, 19-18. We next played host to Coldwater and succeeded in defeating them 21-14. Coach Beebe, searching for a winning combination to send to the tournaments, sent many new boys into action. At the Regional Tournament, the Bearcats encountered Benton Harbor, where, feeling defeat certain, the team again lost, 32-10. This was a great disappointment, as never before had a Beebe coached five failed to reach the finals. In the special assembly, nine major B. C.’s were awarded to the following fellows: Captain Dick Edmonds, Murray Goble, Joe Jackson, Merlin Mitchell, Charles Roche, A1 Sebo, Ted Neibauer, John MacDonald and James Palmer. Minor awards went to Jack Barns, Boh Husted, Jim Kellogg, Jim Redden, Ralph Rounds, Lester Johnson, Carlyle Tubbs, and Boh Welch. A manager’s award was given to Ted Smith for his faithful services throughout the season. - ■ ?;{ 129 Tennis JOHN WENTWORTH Twenty-six hoys turned out for tennis this year.

The second match of the season was called off because of rain, hut May 1st the team journeyed to Lansing, where they again showed up in a good form, defeating the Quakers 7-0. I he last match played [before the Paean went to press] with Ann Arbor, proved to he another win for the Bearcats, 4-3.

Secretary and Treasurer .. Cora Willaums Marian Chilson .Larella (Godfrey The Girl ' s Athletic Club this year extended its membership, and has had a larger num¬ ber ot girls participating in sports than any oilier year since girls have been without regular physical education instruction. The officers have been ably assisted by the following hoard members in charge of the various sport activities: hiking, Josephine Seage; tennis, Arabeth Lewis; soccer, Maxine Taft; skating, Katharine Clark and Lucille Douglass; basketball, Helen Stoyanovitch; swimming, Jayne Conklin. The first major event of the year was held in October. It was a hike and treasure hunt in Bailey Park. This was well attended and started all new and old members off with the G. A. (.. spirit. Then the Girl s Athletic Club and the Daughters of Liberty joined together; to honor the new sophomore girls with a party, held in the Boys ' Gym. The program included dancing, with music by Lynn McComb s orchestra. Refreshments were served after the dance. In November, a volley ball team was organized, which, competing against Lakeview, split victories with their opponents; each team was credited with a win. Then basketball season came in December. This year, the girls seemed to show more interest in basketball than ever before. The girls had games with Springfield school and the Battle Creek College girls. Each winter, the G. A.. C.. has a basketball fete with Lakeview. There were three teams: Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. After the games were played, supper was served by the entertaining school. Lakeview’s G. A. C. members were the guests of the Battle Creek Club this year. A swimming team was organized by the girls and directed by Mr. Charles McCaffree. The team met every Monday at 7:30. in the Recreation Union pool. The workout has resulted in marked improvement in the girls’ swimming strokes and in their endurance. The girls, who have been participating in the various sports during their respective sea¬ sons, were assisted by two instructors from Battle Creek College, Colletta McHale, and Lillian Sundstrom. Their splendid instruction has been greatly appreciated by all the teams. The annual B. C. awards were given out this June. The girl winning the highest number of points received an award-bracelet and a “B. C.’ The next highest twenty per cent of those competing, received letters, provided they had taken part in at least five activities and had been a member of two school teams. The success ol the club this year was largely due to the excellent work and assistance of Miss Seedorff, who is the faculty advisor. 133 }? - GIRLS’ SOCCER TEAM --•§( 134 )8h- GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL TEAM GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM - 4 135 -•”• §{ 136 }§►•- -4 138 4 “ 4 139 f - Jokes Miss Ingraham: “Spell ‘straight .” M.
