WHIS- PERING TREES AND NODDING FLOWERS CARESSED BY WAVES OF FRAGRANCE. THERE, ARCHING THE PATHWAY THAT APPROACHES HALLOWED GROUND, THE TORII PASS UNDER THE ARCH AND FOLLOW THE PATH IT INDI- CATES AND FAR OR NEAR ONE FINDS PERHAPS A TEM- PLE, BUT, MORE OFTEN, A SIMPLE SHRINE. STONE LAN- TERNS OF EXQUISITE BEAUTY LIGHT THE WAY. IN THIS OUR BLOOM, THE FAIRY DREAM OF A GOLD- EN YEAR ARE SHRINES HALLOWED BY MEMORY AND WE TOO ERECT TORII TO CONSECRATE THEIR BEAUTY. IN THIS OUR 1929 ANNUAL WE WOULD LIGHT AND KEEP AGLOW THE LANTERNS GUIDING TO YESTER YEAR. SO COME WITH ME DOWN MEMORY WAY AND BEHOLD THE SHRINES OF BLOOM. IT IS SPRING TIME AND THE ROAD IS FLANKED WITH BUDDING HAWTHORNE, ITS SNOWY BLOSSOMS SO REMINIS- CENT OF BLOOM, THAT WE GRACE OUR OPENING PAGES WITH ITS SIMPLE BEAUTY. THE WAY NARROWS TO A WELL WORN PATH AND THERE, THROUGH A MASSIVE ARCHED TORII, A BENIGN FACED BUDDHA, HIS UPLIFTED HAND SIGNIFYING THE TEACHER, GUARDS THE TEMPLE. JUST SO OUR FACULTY GUARDS OUR TEMPLE OF LEARN- ING, BLOOM. WE FOLLOW A WINDING PATHWAY INTO A MINIA- TURE GROVE. THE SOUND OF' LAPPING WATER, RIPPLING IRRIDESCENT WAVES CARESSING THE SHORE, AND OUT- LINED AGAINST THE SKY, A DAINTY TORII. IN THE DIS- TANCE THE WHITE SAIL BOATS. THIS RECALLS THAT IM- PLANTED IN THE HEART OF EACH JAPANESE IS THE BE LIEF THAT A SUCCESSFUL VOYAGE IS ASSURED TO ONE WHO SAILS UNDER THE LINTELS OF THE TORII. SO WE MAY THINK OF OUR STUDENTS AS BOATS OUTWARD BOUND ON THE SEA OF LIFE, AND WE WISH FOR THEM GOOD FORTUNE. CONTINUE ALONG A FOREST AVENUE, BY WOODLAND RECESSES, AND SOON WE FIND OURSELVES AT A LANTERN GUARDED GATEWAY. FUGI, MAJESTIC, AGAINST THE VAULTED HEAVENS, SWEEPS EVER UPWARD. A TALL TORII MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE ASCENT. WE LIKEN THE SUCCESS OF OUR ATHLETES TO TOILING UP THE SLOPES TO THE CREST, FOR EVEN TO DREAM OF THE PEERLESS MOUNTAIN IS A PROMISE OF GOOD FORTUNE AND FUJI SYMBOLIZES SUCCESS AND TRIUMPH OVER OB- STACLES. LET US STAND ON THIS LEDGE. FROM THIS VANTAGE POINT, WHERE FUGI LIFTS HIS HEAD ON HIGH, WE SEE VARIED SCENES-LAKES, PINE FORESTS, AND WINDING STREAMS, THE REAL BEAUTY OF THE LAND. OUR SCHOOL ORGANIZATIONS, VARIED AS THE PANORAMA BEFORE US, SHOW IN THEIR FUNCTIONS THE REAL BEAUTY AND SPIRIT OF OUR SCHOOL. FARTHER ALONG MEMORY WAY, BY TWISTED PINES AND FANTASTICALLY SHAPED ROCKS, AND SUDDENLY A SIMPLE SHRINE. BEFORE IT A GRACEFUL FIGURE ARRANG- ING CHOICEST BLOSSOMS FOR AN OFFERING. SO WE PRE- SENT TO BLOOM OUR LITERARY PRODUCTIONS, THE FLOWERS OF OUR EFFORTS. NOW OUR WANDERINGS BRING US TO A QUIET BLUE STREAM WHERE CRANES, SYMBOLIC OF CONSTANCY, ARE WADING. HERE WE PART AND GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS. MAY WE ALWAYS CARRY WITH US IN MEMORY OUR HIGH SCHOOL YEARS, AND MAY WE ALWAYS THROUGH THESE TORII-MARKED PATHS PRESERVE THEIR BEAUTY.

Miss Aloa Haskett, their junior sponsor, was again ' chosen to guide the class through its linal year. ' Although a comparatively small class of ninety-three members, it accomplished its ,l undertakings in a very commendable manner. The class rings were on display almost two months before graduation and the senior play was presented on April 25 and 26, thus giving ample time for other activities before graduation. Money-making plans were unnecessary as the financial problem was taken care of during their junior year. However, they held several candy sales at the beginning of the fall term. ' The final get togetheru banquet, that has become a custom at Bloom, was held as 'T 1 l a grand finale to the festivities of the class of 1029.9 I l With sincere appreciation to Miss Haskett for her untiring efforts in their behalf, 1 and to Bloom for the many advantages the high school has given them, the Class of Wi ' I929,, passes through the portals with great hopes that each member will reflect credit N on his alma mater. 1 , ,V I I r il ly T, l ', L, V 1 Y.'ZCClllJ eiylzl yu diy, ' 5 or-Elf THE B D omits GARDNER ABBOTT He ceased, but left so charming on their ear, His voice, that listening still they -seemed to hear.

Never heard, but often seen Is this modest little queen. Her unusual skill in handling a fiddle Makes us admire her-not a little. His excellent shots from center floor Often raised a heavy score. His curly, red, upstanding hair Lends him a pugnacious air. Girls there are of various sorts, But none who equal her in sports. Another of the silent cast, Who works and studies till the last. Student and artist, nightly he works, Labor and study he never shirks. Early each morn to the library she goes. ' We wonder why-one never knows. Fine student-all-round girl, this oneg Equally ready for work or for fun. Fifty five v' . tif- - . THE 131,00 BEING A JUNIOR I believe that being a junior is the most delightful pastime in High School life. A junior has reached the state of upper classmanship without needing, as yet, to put on the cloak of dignity, although he is sometimes quite frisky, he is respected by both freshmen and sophomores. He can always rely on the admiration of the freshmen, and the deference of the sophomores, he has a most exciting time defying the seniors, and showing them why he is so much better than they. A junior breaks rules indiscriminately and continuously. He is not bored with life, for he has not yet ceased breaking rules. He must go through halls Without a pass, he must chew gum, play hookey, ruin lockers, and pester girls. He has a very good time doing all of these, and fancies himself a hero among the students. He works hard on his studies only in case of necessity, his schoolwork is never a daily task. He loafs in the beginning of the period, and brings down the wrath of the gods at the end, it so happens that he has merely piled up his work, but, in his mind, he accuses the teacher of partiality. A junior can tell what a drag is, how to get one, and how much to depend on one. If he is in Glee Club, Council, or Dramatics, his position only adds to his lofty admira- tion of himself. Being a junior is a very comfortable station in life. THE JUNIOR ELECTION It is a Junior election And it calleth the year of three. By the wisdom bright and thy glit- tering fame, Now Wherefore call'st thou me? The high school doors are opened wide And I must enter in. The studes are met, the classroom's set. Mayst hear the studious din. One held him with an iron hand. Nay, you must vote, quoth he. Come here! I call you, duty-bound! So he came readily. He puzzled much, he puzzled more, Oh, who, oh, what, oh, where? He entered the assembly door. Who shall be pres'dent fair?,' The crowd assembled in a throng And puzzled more and more. Fifty-sir '-' 7 --V '- -. 1-.ri , On secretive White slips they wrote just Whom they should vote for. From out their midst the hero came, A marvel of a guy! So wise, so true, so very fine, The kind to do or die. They fell in heaps and many piles To gaze upon this bloke. They thought their judgment very right, For he the record broke. And so they all did next elect The vice and then the sec', And last the trusty treasurer Upon a slip did check. They went like those who have been just And are of deed sublime. A wiser and a better class Will ne'er be found in time. il- .31 Q ' 'rv Y - -g 1.1 ii ,rf 11 v , , y 'Y -1-k1 , THE BLDC f PICTURES Pale yellow Rose! Infinitely tender petals Embracing a center of gold. Nature's light! The icy glimmering On the clean, white, glistening snow. A lover's tears! Jewels that Intensify God's golden gift. INTO A LAND OF DREAMS Love, the fairy-like elf, Dissolves manis love of self. Puck, whispering in my ear, Told me to come, my love would be here. Unhappiness-appreciationis hand-clasped friend- Prepares for the joy that comes in the end. MENTAL INDIGESTION A brain filled with chaotic ideasg this is mental indigestion. One cannot think with his brain crowded with a jumble of plans for escaping from the hot study hall or from a stuffy class-room. He must, however, sit there with an intelligent look on his features and make an attempt to study in order to impress others in the roomg for it will never do for a freshman or sophomore to find evidence that the upper classman neglects his studies. However, a junior thinks more than any other member of the great fraternity of education. You ask why? He must, at all costs, conceal from the members of the juvenile classes the fact that he prefers not to think. In the brain of a junior, each thought has its own division. The pleasure section is the most highly developed part of the great organism. In a tiny crevice, hidden far back in a dark corner, lurks a hazy memory of the morrow's lessons. In another corner is a thought that someone must have a paper from which he can copy his lesson. So he forgets it. The next day, the teacher assigns an essay to, be written in class. The teacher selects a junior's essay to be read aloud. Marvel of all marvels, each idea in the junior's head is entwined in the cords of the essay net. A junior's mind is one of the most excellent examples of mental indigestion that may be discovered in the mighty halls of knowledge.

So it is with sopho- mores-they are one of the most important classes of Bloom. Like rice, their growth is from two to six feet in height. Peter Slugg is our smallest stock and Harold Otis, our tallest. The cultivation of this popular Japanese food compares rather closely with the cultivation of the sophomore class. On September 7, 1927, two hundred and ninety freshmen were planted in the fertile soil of Bloom. After many days of ease we found ourselves flooded with workg and as the rice is left submerged a number of weeks, so we were left. As time passed, we became used to what we thought was heavy work. We were growing. The lessons were our food on which we thrived, and each teacher our caretaker who saw that we developed properly. Some are growing slowlyg others have not as yet come to the light, many have already shot into prominence. We pride ourselves on their advancement. We have participants in every activity at Bloom. Among the famed football players, are the names of Frank Madura and Mario Galiene. The boys' basketball team prizes its sophomore mainstays: Allen Martin and George Dawley. To the delight of the sophomores and the chagrin of the other classes, our girls' basketball team captured the championship. Harriet Smythe, an able scholar, has never failed to enter the oratorical contests held at Bloom. She has twice won first place, and at other times ranked second and third. Robert Ritter and Miles Zeller have also delivered fine orations. Clare Luecke, Rebel De Palma, Elsie Anderson, and Lu- verne Davis, never fail to stand among those on the High Honor roll. The orchestra and band are supported by our diligent classmates, who are ever working with interest for their school. The class as a Whole has shown remarkable ability in school affairs, for an unorganized class of such size.

Hurrah! we cried, my chum and I, 'fNo G'ometry, Hey! Hey! For once Miss Luck has smiled toward us: Just think, no test todaylv At noon We piled into the Gym, Half frightened, yet so proud, And found that we were forced to smirk Before a waiting crowd. And when at last we were arranged According to our size: The man from Gibson's Studio Said, 'Tention, all you guys. Immediately we stiffened, Assumed a goodly port, But 'ere he pulled the rubber ball, Our smiles became a snort.

ILLINOIS STREET ON A RAINY SATURDAY EVE Out of a motionless blue-black sky, the many rows of differently colored lights gleamed, as they cast their light on the uneven roof line of the dingy, business buildings. They reflected on the crawling line of wet, shining rectangles, which, like seals, slowly slipped along the slimy street. The electrical advertisements though trying, in vain, to penetrate the dark folds of the misty night, succeeded in throwing a beautifully blended rainbow halo around their tiny golden bulbs. Most of the people wore a serious expression on their faces as they hurried along the sloppy road, waiting for the green trailic light to become flaming red to stop the glaring two-eyed brutes, which like sea devils, cried and threatened to suck under any unwary person who dared to venture into their path, with a shriek and a grunt the monsters' procession came to a sudden halt. The crowd eagerly plunged across the glittering road. iQ p r K al, L.- Sixty-three 'Y' -7 - Y J' J ,s .4 v T' ' 'o 4 i A -- Y- L L . ummm' THE BLOG Lg, , - Y :T 3 -- Y - -- .1 THE FIVE WORST BOOKS IN SCHOOL Ask any sophomore what he considers the five worst books in school and he will Without a moment's hesitation begin with Caesar's Gallic Wars. I don't understand why we should have to learn Latin when most of us know practically nothing about English. How anyone can endure to have a Latin text dedicated to him is beyond me! Personally, I think Brutus was too slow in killing Caesar. If he had done the kind deed before Caesar began his Gallic campaigns, he would be the umaximus amicus of the sophomores. Next in order comes Tanner's Composition and Rhetoric. I often wonder Why Tanner wanted to write such a book when he could just as well have Written something interesting. The red cover of this book should be warning enough to enterprising students to keep the book closed. Wells and Hart, Modern Plane Geometryf' What a name! WVhy, it doth fairly make thy knees tremble to pronounce it. Sophomores invariably associate Thursday with geometry because it is the day they have their little party in Mr. Cassady's den. The writers of this book must have been afraid that the student would forget that triangles have three sides and that there are no sharp edges in circlesg for every page in this book bears either a circle or a triangle. There are 1353 triangles on the 322 pages, making an average of 4 S5-322 triangles per page! Do not try to verify these sta- tistics, because the author of this article is now cross-eyed from the task. Robinson and Breasted, History of Europe. Just ask anyone's opinion of this book and I dare say you,ll not stay to hear the answer. This must truly be the largest book in school. Imagine a book containing six hundred and sixty-five pages and no introduc- tion! You start right in with ancient man and plough through all the history of Europe to modern peoples. Why, it fairly burns me up to think that sophomores must undergo such hardship. Who cares who built the pyramids or the what, where, why, and how of the Persian invasions when it has no bearing on our life anyway? Caesar had his Brutus, George III his Cromwell, but the sophomores have their Better Speech. Woe to the sophomore that studies this text. Over this unfortunate person now do I prophesy that he shall come to grief. Antony never studied this book, and look what heights he attained by his oratory. After all I have said about these books, I fear the freshmen will be discouraged when they come to study them. In order to make the little tots of the first year feel encouraged I want them to remember this: even though they are bad they could have been worse. For instance, Caesar might have lived to a ripe old age and then the sopho- mores would have two or three years of Caesafs famous sayings instead of only one semester. The geometry test might not have contained any pictures at all. The history might have contained a thousand pages including American and even Chinese history. The public speech book must also have its good points, else where does Bloom happen to get its orators for the debating team? The English book may not be interest- ing, but surely the sophomore theme files-full of literary gems-are advertisements of the good results of the study of Tanner. Yea, all these books are, indeed, the building blocks for a lofty intellect.

After much patience and tribulation Colum- bus crossed the Atlantic ocean, likewise, the Freshman class of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine had to experience eight years of patience and trouble to arrive at its destin- ation, Bloom Township High School. On September 4th, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, over two hundred fresh- man disembarkecl upon the shores of this institution. On their arrival they were greeted by the natives, the upper classmeng the chiefs, the facultyg and the head chief, Principal E. L. Boyer, the man who since 1908, has led the high school through various stages of development to its present success. Just as the early settlers, who dared the seas and endured the hardships of their long journey, were ridiculed by other nations, so the freshmen class upon its arrival were jeerecl at and ridiculed not only by the other nations, but by the natives as well. Making these offenses, the new colonists pushed on and finally established themselves as one of the most useful colonies that have ever settled on the shores of Bloom. THE FRESHMAN'S PROGRESS Having eaten of a lobster salad, I straightway laid me down and dreamed a dream. In my dream were two, a youth and maiden fair, carrying a great bundle of ignorance on their shoulders. Their backs were bent, and they were weary. Soon through the darkness shone a bright and radiant glow, the light of knowledge and learning. The youth and maid were filled with great joy when they saw the gleam, for the trail had been long, lonely, and tiresome. Out from the side of the road came a man in a cap and gown. This man was called Graduate The youth asked the graduate the way to this great and glorious light. The older man then showed him a steep and dangerous cliff and said that the lad and lass could not acquire knowledge and learning unless they should climb this barrier at some time. The mammoth cliff was called Scholastic Mountf' The two started the ascent, and lo, as they looked behind them they saw many others. These people were also trying to gain knowledge. Some of them fell and were trampled to death. Others, after successfully climbing the dangerous cliff, were met by a kindly lady who showed them four small hills which lay in the distance. She told them these were the hills of recreation which they might climb if they so desired. The youth, Emerald, by name, chose Samson's Hill or the Hill of Boys' Ath- leticsf' He put his whole self into climbing this height satisfactorily and became strong both in body and mind. After the departure of her companion, the girl walked for two moons until she reached a hill of .many trails. As she neared it, an old hermit issued forth and guided her to the path to Mount of Good Literature. After he departed, she wandered slowly up a lane which led to Sophomore Valley, and disappeared from view.

THE Bmw COACH SARFF Coach C. M. Sarff completed his fourth successful year at Bloom by build- ing up a football team of championship caliber. Under his supervision, Bloom's grid-teams have improved greatly each year, until last season he developed an in- vincible eleven, which won eight games and tied one. Not satisfied with such an enviable football season, he settled down to develop a championship cage team, when the grid season had closed. And he succeeded, as he usually does. Bloom's heavyweight five nosed out Kankakee for the South Suburb- an League Championship. Twelve Victo- ries and three defeats composed their rec- ord for the season. Wrestling occupied his spare hours, after the basket-ball season. Trained by C. M. SARFF him, the squad made a very good showing at the annual meet of the high schools in Cook County at the Bartlett gym of the University of Chicago. COACH MCCANN Bloom is indebted to Coach H. W. McCann for its polished lightweight squad of 1928-29. At the beginning of the cage season in December, material was greatly lack- ing. In the initial games, Bloom's ponies made a poor showing, but this situation did not discourage Mr. McCann. He labored away and finally formed a real quintet which Won its last eight games, including one with Thornton five, which had defeated them earlier in the season, by a I6-6 score. By his Work on the lightweight squad, he proved himself to be a real coach, worthy of much credit. Before basketball season, Coach Mc- Cann spent his spare time helping Coach Sarff drill Bloom's powerful gridders. More than a little merit is due him for his work in this phase of sports. Baseball was also placed under his jurisdiction. During the spring months, he busied himself with the construction of a formidable nine. 9: H. W.

THE it it OO r INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS Dutchy Long, one of Bloom,s foremost football players of many seasons, put the finishing touches to a colorful grid career last term, when he played quarterback on the championship Bloom football combination. Long's brilliant work during three seasons on the gridiron gained him a place among a select group of prep football luminaries, as well as the good will of a large number of Bloom grid en- thusiasts. Although Long was not the leading scorer on the Bloom team, his manner of handling the back- field was responsible for the large number of points gathered by a successful eleven. The appearance of Long in the lineup always bolstered the strength of Sarff's combination, and his lengthy sprints aided his backiield mates in making almost every touchdown. One of Long's many achievements in athletics was making the Prep Honor Roll, which appeared in the Chicago Tribune each Sunday. The Honor Roll named the four prep football players, who were outstanding in the game played the previous Saturday. The loss of Long from high school football was felt by practically every football fan in Chicago Heights. BLOOM-CALIJMET CITY Led by Dutchy Long, Bloom's gigantic grid team flattened the small, but snappy Thornton Fractional eleven, by a 34-O score on Bloom's gridiron, October 5. In the opening quarter, the Blue machine grabbed the lead, and steadily increased it until the final shot. Touchdowns by Isaacs and Long, and an extra point by Isaacs put the team up by a 13-o score at the end of the first period. At half-time, Bloom had increased its score to zo on another touchdown by Long, and a place kick by Helfrick accounted for the point after the touchdown, thus bringing the score to 27-o. In the final period, Galiene came through with six points, and Madura made the extra point bringing the final score to 34-o. An unfortunate occurrence, on the initial kick-off, in which Dahlkamp of Calumet broke his leg, disheartened the invaders considerably, but despite this, and the fact that they were overwhelmingly out-weighed, the Thornton Fractional team put up a very hard struggle.

Lindhout did much more work last season than he was generally credited with, and deserves special credit for making it possible for the other backfield men to stride around end and off tackle for gains that brought victory and finally clinched the championship of the South Suburban League. Chuck spent his first year practicing under Mr. Nelson, as he was not heavy enough to make the first squad. But in his junior year he had little difficulty in making the first squad and earning his letter. Then, in his final season of competition, Lindhout filled in nicely at the left halfback position. His outstanding per- formance was in the Kankakee game, where he proved his worth by helping Long and the other Bloom backs in gain- ing much territory. The down-state men found him par- ' ticularly hard to hold during this game. Bloom also loses Lindhout through graduation. KANKAKEE GAME The Blue and White warriors administered a decisive defeat to the Kankakee aggre- gation, in their tussle on Bloom's field, October 27, by a 3 I to 7 margin. Though the scores of the teams differed greatly at the finish of the game, the battle was close, until the middle of the third quarter, in fact, Kankakee was in front but once during this period. Neither eleven appeared to be able to get going in the open- ing quarter, and the period ended o-o. However, the Bloom squad took the initiative in the second quarter, and a touchown by Galiene set the score at 6-o, at the half-time. Kankakee came back in the third period, and, on a long pass, Richards of the down- state eleven crossed the Bloom line. A place kick by N. Bereolos put theinvaders ahead. This seemed only to arouse the anger of the Sarff squad for, on the following kick-off, they marched 80 yards for a touchdown, Galiene again carried the ball over the line From this point, the Bloom crew was never trailing. The remaining touchdowns were made by Isaacs and Curtis, Isaacs breaking away for a 60 yard run, and Curtis inter- cepting a pass at midfield.

T1-1:+:B1Qo'5i ' SENIOR REGULARS Captain Frank Zip Seipel, after three years of regular 1 1 ' football, distinguished himself as one of the foremost tackles on a Bloom team. Seipelis greatest achievement was making the All-State prep eleven. His steady play as Coach Sarff's left tackle was a large factor in the success realized by the 1928 combination. Under Seipel,s leadership, the Bloom team tore N111 through their opponents almost at will, and felt the benefit l N derived from a captain who had had experience in football. Seipel was one of the rangiest members of the stalwart forward ' wall that figured in clinching the South Suburban League championship and establishing a record on the gridiron. De- spite the pools of water that handicapped the two teams in the Bloom-East Aurora game, 1 ' Seipel was frequently seen dashing through the East Aurora line to hurl their backs for consistent losses. Seipel is lost to Bloom through semester ruling, and so has completed X , , his brilliant career. l 1, BLOOM-EAST AURORA GAME P Disregarding the steady rainfall, the Bloom gridders and the representatives of the 1 111 East High School football aggregation battled to a scoreless tie, on a sloppy and soggy 1 Bloom field, Saturday, November 17. 1' . Though the Bloom squad was not defeated, its long string of victories was broken, thus marring its brilliant record. Although the final score did not announce Bloom victor, the local eleven undoubtedly claimed a moral victory, since they excelled their opponents in almost every phase of the game. Throughout the fray, the invaders were able to push over only one first down, while the Blue and White team registered eight. In the yardage gained, the Sarffmen were also superior. The Aurorans could get but twenty-eight yards from scrimmage, while Bloom backs carried the pigskin one hundred and fifty-three yards from scrimmage. Furthermore, the Blue machine completed two forward passes, in spite of the sluggish field. The only feature in which Bloom did not excel was punting. Sands, East High quarterback, in all probability saved his team- mates from defeat by his remarkable kicking. Many times he booted the mud laden 1 ball from his own goal line to mid-field. The game was witnessed by about three hundred fans, who did not fear either 1 ,' Water or wet feet. 1 1 l EAST AURORA AT BLOOM Seventy six 1 11 41 5 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1. 1 1 1 1 1 L1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11, 1'1 1. -f--We T1-12131.00 'E-M----Q JUNIOR REGULARS Steve Sokolowski, Bloom's giant right tackle, finished his grid career in memorable style. Steve made his final football season an enormous success by playing a steady game. He played right tackle, while Seipel was working at left tackle, and these athletes proved to be two of the best lineman in this vicinity. Sokolowski's first year of regular football was played when he was a sophomore at Bloom. He improved in ability, as he developed in size, and the following season saw him a member of one of the All-Suburban elevens. Even then he had not reached the height of his ability, for his great- est work was to be done during his final season. When Blue Island sent a young but fighting team to Bloom, Sokolowski played the leading role in a smothering victory by the local athletes. Steve showed that he had something besides size, for one of his foremost qualities was to stand on his feet through the thick of battle. When most of the players were stretched on the ground, Steve, after taking care of his own duties, dashed over to carry on the work started by one of his team-mates. Sokolowski's leaving Bloom is a regrettable loss. BLUE ISLAND GAME Piercing their opponents' line at will, Bloom's gridders marked up their sixth victory this season, by trouncing the Blue Island representatives, 39-O, in their tusssel at Bloom's field on November 3rd. Realizing their inability to gain ground by carrying the ball, the invaders resorted to forward passing. Throughout the game they completed a total of eight forward passes, thereby gaining 52 yards. However, these passes accounted for only four first downs. The scoring honors of the afternoon went to Leo Frigo, second-string quarterback, who substituted for Long, regular, who had been injured in the Kankakee game. He crossed the enemies' goal line twice. Galiene was close behind him with one touchdown and three points after the touchdown for a total of nine points. The remaining two touchdowns were registered by the ends, Thoeming and Meyers. The former recovered a fumble behind the opponents' goal, the latter intercepted a pass on the three-yard line, and carried the ball over the goal. The game, on the whole, was very one-sided, with Bloom showing quite a decided superiority. The Blue Island eleven failed to score even on Bloom's third team. Of course, the invaders were considerably out-weighed. n H - - BLUE ISLAND AT BLOOM Seventy seven lii e.,,1w - -- ff THE BLDC? W -l , INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS Horace SoXey Curtis added the necessary punch to the championship Bloom eleven by filling in capably at center. He started at the beginning of the season to take charge of the pivot duties, and his passing readily gained the favor of both fans and coaches. When last year,s center, Charles Helfrich, was shifted to right end where his services were I l needed, Horace Curtis was changed from guard to center. The talent he displayed was evident during the first game of the season and increased as the season grew. Curtis's first year on the Bloom squad as sophomore was spent mostly in learning the fundamentals of the gameg however, when he returned for his second year of football, he had greatly improved and so proved a valuable man at center. Curtis worked diligently, and when he came back for his final year of com- petition, was in good shape for a first rate center. His outstanding performance was at Harvey, when Bloom defeated the Thornton eleven in a sea of mud. In this game he passed the ball without fault. BLOOM-THORNTON GAME In their second encounter this season, both Bloom and Thornton eleven staged a mud fight, on the Harvey gridiron, November Io. Again the Sarffmen held their opponents scoreless, and, meanwhile, ran up a I3 point margin. Despite his injured rib, Dutchy Long went into the fray, at two different inter- vals, both times 'Qpepping up', his team-mates enough to score a touchdown. Galiene, Bloom's plunging fullback, proved his worth by carrying the Thornton squad on his back, and the ball under his arm, across the Purple goal line twice, and by scoring all of Bloom's points. In the second quarter, he crawled three yards to a touchdown, in the final period, he repeated the feat. Another feature of the game was the passing of Curtis, Bloom center. In spite of the coating of mud and water on the ball, he passed the pigskin with remarkable accuracy. As a result, few fumbles occurred in the Bloom backfield. During the intermission, and before the game, the spectators were entertained by both the Bloom and Thornton bands. As usual, a large crowd was on hand to witness the game. - BLOOM AT HARVEY Seventy-eight 1-,, ..,, f,f, ,,,, ,,.r:.w,.:::-:'--.mf -+4 f 'c fpii3ig,feg..:f, -A--M T1-nz Btoo W-Q-4-1-Q INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS Charles Chuck Helfrich was shifted to right end during the last season and, at this post, Charles showed much skill. Helfrich, regular center of the 1927 team, tried out for end on the eleven this season, and found that he was able to take care of the Wing duties in a capable manner. He played the majority of the season's games under a decided handigliuffering from injuries fved in an W ' early season encounter. He received an injury to his knee in a practice session early in the campaign and received several other hard jolts throughout the season. Despite these handicaps, Helfrich displayed his usual fight and proved to be an important factor in the Bloom combination. One of Helfrich's best performances was in the Lake View game, the first engagement of the season. At this early stage Chuck was yet unscathed by the heavy play, or injuries he later sustained. The manner in which Helfrich held down the duties at right end relieved the coach of many of his worries. One of the features of the opening game of the season, which ended with Bloom on the substantial end of a 7 to o count, was the fact that Helfrich kicked the oval through the goal posts for the first point after touchdown. Helfrich's loss through graduation leaves a wide gap in the powerful Bloom line. BLOOM, 73 LAKE VIEW, o Bloom's championship eleven opened its season with a well-earned victory over Lake View High School of Chicago. The opening game of the season was a hard one, and the Blue and White warriors fought hard for a 7 to o victory. The battle was nip and tuck throughout, except for a single incident in the third quarter, when the Bloom combination battered its way to the lone touchdown of the afternoon's performance. Frank Madura, flashy sophomore half, starred in his first ap- pearance in a Bloom uniform by scoring the only touchdown off the Sarff men. After pulling down a short pass from Long, the light Bloom halfback jumped, dodged, and drove over 25 yards of Lake View territory before crossing the goal of the visitors. Chuck Helfrich displayed his educated toe, and kicked perfectly from placement, for the point after touchdown. Unlike previous seasons, the 1928 campaign was opened with the Bloom team being faced by strong opposition. The aggregation that represented the Lake View High School was feared by all of her opponents in the Chicago Prep circles, and Bloom earned no small honor in downing this snappy eleven from the North Side. A- dl - .Q A3 V Seventy nine 'T' i'i .4 x. v C' 'Li E' af- ----- T4-re Btoo ---- SENIOR REGULARS George Meyers completed his Bloom football career in a fine manner. At the beginning of the 1928 season, SarE placed Meyers at left end instead of his old position of sub tackle. Even at the opening of the season Meyers began to show his worth, and he soon developed into a remarkable wingman. Meyers' work was particularly outstanding during the final game of the season when Bloom invaded Waterloo, Iowa. George's tackling and blocking during this im- portant inter-sectional struggle, drew the attention of Waterloo and Bloom fans alike. The Bloom rooters who trav- elled to Waterloo will long remember the consistent and aggressive playing of Meyers. During the season of 1927, he was stationed at tackle where he played enough to earn a letter. But the coach soon found when the 1928 season began that Meyers would make a capable endg and, as the tackle positions were already given, Sarff placed Meyers at end, where his stalwart build aided him in becoming one of the best ends Bloom has had. BLOOM-WATERLOO Bloom's reputable grid team completed its successful season by turning back West High School of Waterloo, Iowa, in a Thanksgiving Day battle on the Iowa grid- iron. The final score was 6-o. The long over-night ride before the game did not seem to effect the team or the 300 loyal fans, who followed the Bloom eleven. The game kept the 3,ooo spectators on edge the entire afternoon. The Waterloo Combination was constantly fighting for victory, and the Bloom squad feared them throughout the fray. Watson, Waterloo full-back, was particularly effective in open- field running, and was the main threat of the Iowans. On several occasions he broke loose for long runs, and Bloom fans were never at ease when he carried the ball. The lone touchdown of the game was accounted for by Chuck,' Isaacs, Bloorn's speedy half. In the opening quarter, Chuck', dashed through a large hole in the line, after a pass and a series of plunges had placed the ball six yards from the opponents' goal line. The performance of George Meyers, Bloom's left wing, was one of the outstanding features of the game. The Iowa team gained little or no ground around Meyers' end, for he always dropped the man with the ball on punts or the kick-off. . A - 1 I BLOOM AT WATERLOO E1ghty 'i ' rn. ,,W,,,,r,.,,.

Mancini, a tall and heavy-set player, worked at guard and helped make his side of the line im- penetrable. He came out for football when a sophomore, but owing to the quantity of material that Coach Sari had, and because of his lack of experience, he had few opportunities to display his skill. The following year he returned and worked as tackle. Not fully developed, he was unable to make the first team, but played second to Seipel and Sokolowski. This year, however, his ability to block and tackle with skill earned him a place as left guard of the Bloom eleven, where his services were of great value. His consistent playing was particularly evident in the Deerfield game. Despite the keen competition, Mancini found little difhculty in doing his share, and obtaining a creditable place on the gridiron. He has completed his eight semesters in athletics. . BLOOM 19, DEERFIELD o Bloom increased her superiority over Deerfield Shields High School of Highland Park by trouncing the highly touted north siders by a score of I9 to o. The game was far from a close battle, as the score illustrates, and the Bloom eleven started a drive in the second quarter that upset the attack of the Deerfield aggregation and led to an overwhelming victory. After recovering from a poor start in the first quarter, the Blue and White eleven pierced the forward wall of her opponents consistently, and scored three touchdowns during the play. Dutchy Long again took the scoring honors of the afternoon, crossing the enemy's goal line on two occasions. Galiene plunged through center for the other Bloom touchdown, while Lindhout booted the pigskin from placement, after touch- down. The Highland Park eleven was never within scoring distance after the first period of the game. One of the prominent figures in the Bloom backfield was Charles Isaacs, who strode around the Deerfield ends for frequent gains and helped Long and Galiene march down the field for all three touchdowns. Although Isaacs himself did not carry the ball across the goal line, his consistent gains were largely responsible for the Bloom victory. The victory over the potent Highland Park team kept the slate of the Sarffmen clean.

Isaacs had devel- oped into a first class ball toter by the time the 1928 season ' began, and his speed and skill in handling the ball readily gained him a place in the flashy backfield of Coach C. M. SarPf's combination. Chuck played football during his junior year at Bloom, and made the first eleven, but an injury at Harvey kept him away from the gridiron throughout a large part of the season. However, he returned this season, and had little trouble in making the team. When Isaacs carried the ball around either end, or off either tackle of Bloom's team, the result was usually a first down. Deerfield discovered the ability of the Bloom back to carry the oval for substantial gains. In the first Bloom- Thornton game Chuck skirted the ends, time and again, to help Long and his mates gain the necessary ground for touchdowns. The loss of Isaacs through graduation proves a hard blow to ' Bloom football. BLOOM, 1 sg THORNTON, . 7 The sensational runs of Dutchy Long featured Bloom's first victory over her ancient rival, Thornton. The Bloom athletes ran wild in the first meeting of Bloom and Thorn- ton, to run up an 18 to 7 victory over her rivals. The inability of Thornton to open holes in the Bloom forward wall was largely due to the work of Dominic Mancini, stalwart guard of the Bloom eleven. Mancini blocked and tackled effectively, throughout the game, and helped make it possible for Dutchy Long to make two touchdowns, and Galiene, one. A terrific drive in the final quarter of the game gave Thornton her lone touchdown, when Morgan crashed over the center of the line. Kasten added the point by a place-kick after touchdown. A Eighty-two ,sat g ,, ,---n-w--1-1--.pg-,.......,..-.-. THE BLD O DELBERT BROCKMAN Delbert Brockman earned his letter, as guard, on the championship squad. Though but a reserve, he filled the place ably when called upon, and his excellent build gave fans reason to believe that next year he will be one of the outstanding members of the forward wall. He usually worked at right guard, but was also effective as tackle, although not needed at this position. Brockman reported for football when he was a freshman, and soon learned then rudiments of the game. He went out for wrestling, this added to his strength, so that when he reported, last season, he was in good shape to stand up with ..,. , BROCKMAN the most capable members of the squad. As he was a junior last year, Brockman has another year to play football on the Bloom team. next season. FRIGO FRANK MADURA Despite an injury that kept him from the lineup throughout many of the games, Frank Madura, when he was sent into action, showed plenty of talent in carrying the oval. He started in the Lake View battle, the open- ing game of the season, and picked up a pass from Long to score the lone touchdown of the game. Shortly after this, he was injured and forced to retire from regular play, but was frequently called on as a substitute. Ma- dura was also handicapped by his lack of weight, but it is hoped that next year he will have gained the necessary avoirdupoisg he will then no doubt develop into a first class backfield man. Frank is but a sophomore now, two more years of football will give his score of rooters some thrills. wmv Ar--.1 -' --,-, -A ta, .iw -g 2 B- 9 f ,4 B Ai' iv LEO FRIGO Leo Frigo proved his worth among the Bloom reserves last season when he entered several games and carried the pigskin for substantial gains and frequent first downs. Avail- able as an end or backfield man, Frigo was called upon often by Coach Sarff to assist the regulars in annexing victories. He was a fighting halfback and went into several important games to romp over the opposing linemen. Although the power of the Bloom backfield kept him from gaining a regular berth on the potent eleven, Frigo played enough football, during the successful campaign, to be recognized as one of the important cogs in the Bloom machine. His main ability was twisting through and dodging the opposition, and the line- men that were assigned to stop him were constantly ham- pered. Being a senior, Frigo will not be back for football MADURA Eighty-three In fl 'N H -li, - . P l l A s i W I lv l l V Nr lx! L r ll 1 l ,rip .il gl Nl u w 'r 4 , ,P 'E l .

Last year was Paulis second season as regular guard on the Bloom eleven, and he showed the result of former experience. Cassady, a short, stocky player, was always in the thick of the battle, and opened gaping holes in the forward wall of the opposing team, in order that the speedy Bloom backs might slide through for consistent gains. His hard playing won the praise of the more observant fans, who saw the work of the line in the Bloom games. Though short, Paul stood up against some lanky linemen during the season and upset his opponent time and again. He has one more year of football at Bloom, and next year's line will probably be built up around him. CASSADAY . MARIO GALIENE Bloom's success on the gridiron 'during the 1928 season was largely due to the work of that flashy fullback, Mario Galiene. Mario distinguished him- self as a capable ball toter by ending the season as high point man of the Bloom eleven. He proved him- self a wonderful running mate for Dutchy Longg when- ever Bloom met a team with good ends and tackles, it re- mained only for Mario to carry the ball through center, for substantial gains. Unlike most fullbacks who plunge through the middle of the line on the final down when there are but a few feet to go for a first down, Galiene took the ball frequently on the first or second down, he strode through center for gains of over ten yards at a time. One of the remarkable features of this athlete is that he has three more years to demonstrate his abilities in football. He is the only backheld regular to return next season, and so will be a reliable on Sarff,s backfield. GALIENE ' CLARENCE THOEMING Among the valuable substitutes who earned their letters on the championship squad last season was Clarence Thoemingg he proved to be one of the sub- stitutes most frequently used. Since Helfrich, regu- lar right end, suffered from injuries throughout a part of the season, Coach Sarff called Thoeming into the games frequently, and he took charge of the wing duties in a capable manner. This is Thoeming's first year on Coach Sarff's squad and he has made a good showing, his first season, as a Bloom gridder, started without many unusual incidents, but as the season progressed he gained more experience, and be- gan to show that he was not merely an ordinary sub- stitute but a man of real value. Clarence is a junior and has still another season of football.

R. Nelson, manager of athletics at Bloom, enters largely into training work. Lightweight football in autumn, and track in the spring occupy much of his would be spare time. Mr. Nelson takes great pride in both hisrfootball and track squads, and does allhe can to improve his boys, espe- cially those who would otherwise be overlooked or dis- regarded. In the fall months, Coach Nelson took charge of those boys who were too light to combat Bloom's Bonecrushers.,' The group, about go in number, spent many Weeks of hard practice and were finally given a chance to display their skill in a battle with Morgan Park Military Academy, which resulted in a score- less tie. Many times during the game both teams Were in scoring positions, but, each time, they failed to cross their opponent's goal-line. They played a scoreless battle with Thornton also, but in their game with Blue Island, they came out victorious by a I3-O score. Their only defeat of the season Was at theihands of Morgan Park, in their second battle with that team. The regular line which did most of the scrimmaging consisted of Lamb and Sanders at endsg Napolene and Werth, at tackles, Beke, Flora, and Schroeder at guard positions, and Dooley at center. The backfield was composed of Bachman, captain and quarter- back, Johnson and Simon, halfbacks, and Wilikousky, full back.

Steve got the jump on his opponent in practically every game, and teams encountered by Bloom were constantly at a disadvantage. After the tip-offs, he dropped back to guard, where he showed plenty of skill in taking the ball off the back-board. He also helped the for- wards in ringing up baskets on oifense. LEO FRIGO Leo Frigo returned for one semester of basket- ball this year. Both Frigo and Long became ineligible after the first semester, but they proved their ability to dribble and pass with great skill, while they were on Coach Sarff's roster. Frigo won the favor of more than a score of Bloom fans when his outstanding per- formance at Harvey helped win the game. His accur- acy kept him near the top of the scoring list. DUTCHY LONG Dutchy Long, who captained Bloom's heavyweight basketball team during the first semester of the 1928-29 season, finished his athletic career at Bloom, playing forward on the quintette that won the championship of the South Suburban league. Long was particularly effective at floor work, and he also assisted the other members of the team in gathering the large total of points run up by the Bloom combination during the first semester. TONY MARNAN Tony Marnan's fighting spirit helped him develop into one of the best guards that ever competed, in bas- ketball at Bloom. Marnan, a senior last season, finished a brilliant cage career with a successful year. He came out for basketball when a sophomore, and not only was successful in making the squad, but soon displayed such good form that Coach McCann placed him on the first team. He played two seasons of lightweight basketball before he became the heavyweight. This preliminary training made him an outstanding player on Coach Sarff,s team. CHARLES HELFRICH Chuck Helfrich came through nicely in his final year of competition in Bloom basketball, and captained the team during the second semester. Despite the fact that he was ill throughout a good portion of the sea- son, Helfrich's accuracy in sinking baskets, and his free throws made him the leading scorer for the season. He played guard at the tip-off, but advanced to center im- mediately after the ball was put in play. Chuck played two seasons of heavyweight basketball. ?-..-.r-:-Q.-.-..a..s.t.,- eN:f,....--..,....... ...., Y.. - .Q -W 'V' gp' - Q ef r ill I i li il. is F 1 l L Il i I : .- i r l ii U I N ll ,wil ,W Mi 'lx A l Mm ,. 1 1 My mtl .,, 1 .i lli lx Er!

Heavyweight Basketball CHARLES LINDHOUT Charles 'QChuck,' Lindhout, who won the forward position vacated by Frigo after the first semester came to a close, proved his worth by registering a number of assists, as well as many baskets and free throws. Lind- hout's accurate passing Was partly responsible for the large total of points gathered by the heavyweights in the last half of the season. At the beginning of the year, Chuck showed great skill, and Coach Sarff de- pended upon him to fill one of the forward stations, after the first semester. Last season closed his athletic career at Bloom. FRANK MADURA Frank Madura, a sophomore, was given a chance on the first team after Long became ineligible, and he showed such good form that Coach Sarff discovered him to be the man to finish the season, at the forward post. Besides being a good shot at the basket, Madura was a good passer and dribbler, and often led the way to baskets. His speed proved another factor during his first season as a heavyweight cager. Madura has two more seasons of basketball. GEORGE DAWLEY George Dawley was probably the most valuable reserve on the Bloom squad, after the second semester began. Though he was unable to get into a large num- ber of games during the first semester, Dawley found his bearing in the last half of the race, and filled in wherever he was most needed. He started several games, when Helfrich and Lindhout were unable to play for various reasons, and immediately received the attention of many fans. Dawley played at forward .and center, he will be back next season to occupy either of these positions. MARIO GALIENE Mario Galiene displayed keen fight when Coach Sarff sent him into any game. Mario substituted at guard, and made a good showing each time he was given a chance to display his talents. His experience as a football player added to his speed and fighting spirit, and gave promise of a coming basketball star. Galiene will be back for three seasons of competition in basketball, where his services will be highly valued. l l 1- '-I'..Z.'l1.. I.Z2T,la- ..

After spending one season learning the rudiments of basketball, Goesel came out last year and occupied one of the guard positions. Bloom fans will remember him for his excellent dribbling as well as his good passing and shooting. These qualities made him a good offensive man. He was such a good guard that only the most efficient opponents were able to penetrate the Bloom defense. Louis will be back next season. JOE WILIKOUSKY Joe Wilikousky, speedy little forward, returned to Bloom for the Hrs: semester, during which he captained the lightweight basketball team. Little Joemade up for his lack of height by continually dodging opposing guards and going in for short shots. He started to play high school basketball at Bloom three years ago and rapidly became a favorite of the many fans. His skill in all departments made him a valuable man and helped him win three letters on the basketball courts. VERNON MEIDELL Vernon Stretch Meidell who filled the center posi- tion this season, soon developed into an accurate basket tosser. His height enabled him to get the jump on most of his opponents on the tip-off, and also helped him put some difficult shots through the net. Meidell led the lightweights in scoring for the season, with a large num- ber of points. One of his best exhibitions was at Calu- met City, where he helped the Bloom team win a close game, after two overtime periods. This was his las: season of basketball at Bloom. ALLEN MARTIN Allen Spotsie', Martin was shifted to guard shortly after the season started, and the manner in which he Hlled the position proved that the change was a wise move on the part of Coach McCann. Besides being a capable cage star, Martin showed such excellent ability in leading the team that the members of the first team elected him captain after Joe Wilikouskyis departure. He is a good player both on the offensive and defensive. This was Allen's second season of regular basketball and he will be back for two more seasons. - -Na+., i i ji l. ir .1 2 . ir l. i 5 li 1 i . . . i l 1 l l ,V 1 U 4. 6.

W'tttiilTHE5LO0 'ttf1tm Niuefy Lightweight Basketball TRACY THRUMSTON Tracy Thrumston, substitute forward on the light- weight squad, was the most valuable reserve on the roster, when the first semester came to a close. Thrums- ton was at a disadvantage during the early part of the season, sincehe was absent from practice because of illness. However, upon returning to daily work-outs, he developed into a good forward, and was sent into several games. His services on the squad will be needed next semester. , AUGUST IGNELZI August Ignelzi was called upon to fill in at the for- ward position vacated by Joe Wilikousky at the close of the first semester, and he did more than fill the posi- tion. Augie,s eye grew more accurate as the season ad- vancedg shortly after becoming a regular, he started to show the fans why he was chosen for forward duties. Despite the fact that he played little during the first semester, Ignelzi found the hoop consistently, and was among the leading scorers when the season came to a close. He will be back for only one more semester. RUDOLPH WILIKOUSKY Rudolph Rudy', Wilikousky spent his first year on the lightweight basketball in a creditable manner. Rudy made the second team shortly after coming out for the squad and, after the first few games, he was sta- tioned at right forward on the first team, playing oppo- site his brother, Joe. He was only a sophomore last season, and will be depended upon to carry a share of the burden as a regular next season. 5..a...,.,,,u, ,., am, . .,.i.....--.,.-., 'tif f , -V--M THEBLOCJ Mm..

HEAVYWEIGHT BASKETBALL Bloom's heavyweight cagers completed another successful season, capturing the South Suburban League laurels. Five victories and but one defeat earned this indica- tion of supremacy. They opened the season with seven consecutive victories, over such teams as Englewood, Crown Point, Thornton, and Kankakee. After the final game at the Joliet District Tournament, the Bloom squad was accredited with twelve victories and three defeats. After the loss of Long and Frigo, flashy forwards, by the eight-semester ruling, many Bloom fans expected the team's offense to collapse. However, their vacancies were very competently filled by Chuck', Lindhout and Frankie Madura. During the second semester, the regular five representing Bloom, consisted of Lindhout and Madura at forward, Sokolowski at center, and Marnan and Helfrick on defense. During the season, Bloom's heavies registered 310 points, while their opponents battled for 168 points. These statistics add much to the merit of the Blue machine and the credit due Coach Sarff. at H .Vinezy-one 1 W - -A - Y , ,, , T1-it BLOG Top Row-Qleft to rightj-Simon, Leiteritz, Bielauskas, Ruggeri, Zaranka, Cox, J.

LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL In spite of a poor beginning, Bloom's lightweight squad rounded up the 1928-29 cage season, with eight victories, and a tie with the Thornton Even for first place of the South Suburban League division. Under Coach McCann's continual training the team was transformed into a winning aggregation on the offensive, as well as on the defensive. The transformed squad upset the dope many times, later in the season. They defeated the Crown Point BU team, who had trounced them earlier in the season, by a 26-6 score. In their Hnal game, the Bloom cagers repeated the feat when they downed the undefeated Thornton ponies. This victory also brought them the tie for the league championship. The regular squad, which started almost every game, was composed of Ignelzi and R. Wilikousky at the forward positions, Stretch', Meidell at center, and Goesel and Martin on the defensive.

Twenty teams, representing all of the boys' groups in school, took an active part in the most popular contest at Bloom. The games extended from March 18 to March 26. The championship pennant was won by Mr. Briggs' aggregation, who have christened themselves Bricklayers g five straight victories gave them the title. In their first bat- tle, they downed the Sarif squad by a very small margin, but in their second tilt, with Mr. Lare's group, they came through with an easy Victory. Their third win over Miss Haskett's group proved also an easy task. Miss Cameron's team, of the sophomore class, ,did not furnish much competition, since they lacked size and experience. However, the Bricklayers' final battle, wich Mr. Wilson,s five, developed into a very close strug- gle, the champions winning by only a 6-4 margin. As in previous years, almost every boy at Bloom followed the tournament closely, and this contest aroused much excitement and enthusiasm, both among the students and faculty. This victory by Mr. Briggs, group gave the class of 1929 the distinction of having contained every championship group since the contest began. In 1927, Mr. Adkins' sophomore team won the title, in I928, the junior group under Mr. Nelson took the honors, and in 1929, Mr. Briggs' senior squad captured the championship. Ninety-three L 9 2 v - A' 7 ' 'ft--i ---M--' HEBLO7 TRACK Coach E. R. Nelson again took charge of the track team at the beginning of this season and immediately organized a large group of over 50 boys, who represented Bloom in many meets with track teams from other high schools in the vicinity. The growing popularity of track at Bloom is verified by the fact that every meet this season brought scores of students and townspeople to the Bloom athletic Held, where the various events were run off. George Meyers, popular Bloom athlete, was chosen captain of the team and proved his right to this important post, by leading the Bloom team in scoring throughout the season. Meyers was a man of great skill in various events, starring in the high jump, high hurdles, and shot put. Charles Helfrick, Charles Lindhout, Charles Isaacs, and George Bachma-n made good records on Mr. Nelson's team. Chauncey Johnson, a lower classman, who will return next year, proved one of the most capable dash men on the squad. The juniors were led by Leiteritz. The first meet of the season with Blue Island, and the second with Hammond, both brought overwhelming victories to Bloom, and at date of printing, the team showed signs of going through the season with great success.

One of the major spring athletics at Bloom is baseball. The group of thirty base- ball aspirants, under the direction of Coach M'Cann, practice under the hot sun every afternoon, in preparation for their games, which usually occur on Fridays. The nine, which represent Bloom, proved themselves to be very capable when they defeated the Hammond Tech team, by a Io-2 margin, in their initial game of the season. The remarkable feature of this game was the pitching of the Bloom mound men. The duo of Wedgebury and Anderson held the Hammond team to only two base hits. With the excellent pitching and the hard hitting which Bloom displayed in the battle with Hammond, Bloom should be able to proclaim another championship this year, in the baseball line. The regular team, which began most of the games this season, 'Was lined up as fol- lows: E. Zaranka at first, F. Madura at second, H. Johnson at shortstop, and Marnan at third. The outfield was taken care of by Napoleone, McFadden, Dellasquale, T. Wrob- lewski, Wells, and Rollert. The batteries were Wedgbury and Anderson in the pitcheris 1., box, and Martin or Simonetti behind the plate. SCHEDULE OF GAMES ' April 18 ........,.......... Bloom at Hammond Tech April 23 ....

Twisting serves! Bulleting drives! Bloom's tennis team is at it again. Every afternoon on the sun-baked, white-lined courts, one may see these boys practicing-trying new strokes, cuts, drives, and overhead lobs. This practice has been richly rewarded, for, at the present writing, Bloom, although playing such schools as Joliet, Proviso, and Morgan Park Military Academy, has not been defeated. The team is usually composed of three men, but four are sometimes used. Leonard Yaseen is back again as first man. Tracy Thrumston, playing second, has improved a great deal since last year. George Clare is again playing in third position. Sid Green- berg is a newcomer and will develop into a formidable player. Yaseen and Thrum- ston will compete in the Illinois Interscholastics at Champaign. GOLF fLefl fo Right!-Cosentino, Seeley, Mr. Wilson fcoachj, Hope, Goesel. Some of the best golf players in the vicinity of Chicago Heights are students at Bloom. In matches with other schools they have turned in scores that were only slightly above par for the course played. During the present season they played in the South Suburban League meet at Olympia Fields, in several dual meets with neighboring high school golf teams, and in the interscholastic meet at the University of Illinois.

WRESTLING h In its third annual visit to the Cook County High School Wrestling Tournament, at the University of Chicago, on April I2 and 13, Bloom's wrestling squad made a very creditable record, scoring eight points against such schools as Tilden, Waukegan, Harri- son, and Crane. Their work in the consolation division was also very good, they won 16 points. Coach Sarff was well satisfied with the team's demonstration, since they represented the smallest school entered in the meet. By scheduling matches with nearby schools, he expects, next year, to give the other entries a real battle for the title. The fact that all of the members of the 1929 squad will be back encourages his expectations. Galiene proved to be Blo0m,s outstanding representative. In the semi-finals of che I4 5-pound division, he lost, by a decision, to the city champion who was later defeated , in the final round, this failure was due, in part, to his strenuous battle with Galiene. Edwin Keene, 1 If-POllf1d61I' also came to the fore by winning third place in his divi- 5 sion. Wallace Dyer proved Worthy of being a member of the Bloom squad by capturing i the fourth place honors, in the 135-pound class. 1 In the consolation bracket, Leonard Wells, heavyweight, and John Goncher, 135- pounder, took first place in their respective divisions. V I HOCKEY For the first time Bloom has taken up hockey as an extra-curricular activity. Under the direction of Mr. H. E. Peterson, a few hockey aspirants built a hockey rink on the ' North tennis court. This new sport proved to be a great success, for the rink was 1 crowded at all times. Much interest was aroused over the inter-class tourney, won by , the sextet, representing the Senior class.

BERNICE Onx ' Treasurer Secretary G. A. A. Under the leadership of Miss Veazey, the girls' athletic director, and four interested and capable officers, the G. A. A. has completed its sixth successful year. Volley-ball, basket-ball, tennis, and archery constitute the major sports with indoor base-ball as a minor. Archery was offered for the first time this year. The play day and track meet gave many members a chance to test their skill and speed. A program of tumbling, pyramids, and clog dances, sponsored by the G. A. A. was presented at the last meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association. The G. A. A. enjoys social as well as athletic events, and Was glad to join the Girls' Club in sponsoring the first girls, party of the year. The volley-ball teams were entertained at a party, when everybody had a good time. The classes in foods under the drection of Miss Young served the usual five basket-ball banquet for ninety girls. Since the girls are so enthusiastic over this association, it is here to stay. Every year the membership increases, and thus great hopes are held out for the future of the G. A. A.

CLUB In reality, the B. T. H. S. Club is not an organization, for it has no constitution, no officers, and no meetings, however, every girl who receives a B. T. H. S. is considered a member of the club. Since seven hundred fifty points are necessary to win this highly coveted emblem, it is usually awarded to the girls in their junior year. Some excep- tionally fine athletes, however, win their B. T. H. S. at the end of their sophomore year. A girl must excel in several branches before she can possibly score seven hundred fifty points. Basketball, volley ball, or class-championship in tennis wins one hundred points, baseball and captainship of either the basket ball or volley ball team, Hfty points, tennis, fifteen, twenty-five, and thirty-five points according to the skill of the girl. Eight five-mile hikes credit a girl with another one hundred points. An A average in gymnasium work for one year, a B average for two years, or a C average for three years is also accredited with one hundred points. Awarding of B. T. H. S. emblem to the girls has promoted athletics to such an extent that the school is beginning to recognize its importance. Receiving a B. T. H. S. is not the highest distinction the athletic girl may achieve. Upon attaining one thousand points for athletic prowess, she is awarded a gold medal. As in the case of the B. T. H. S., the unusual athletes score the necessary one thousand points by the end of their junior yearg however, the medal is usually a senior year achievement.

Led by Anna Mary Deg- itz, the juniors captured the coveted Volley- ball cup for the second time, having won five games and lost none. This team by its good playing and sportsmanship justly earned the cup. SOPHOMORE A Alba Pressendo's team of snappy sopho- more A's gained the position of second place. Their only defeat was that by the juniors in the championship game, in this they gave the juniors an exceedingly hard fight. SENIOR Although not getting the time honored first place as seniors, this team showed re- markable playing ability. Their captain, Elsie Beck, ushered them through the perils of the tournament to three wins and two losses. FRESHMAN A With two games won, and three games lost, the freshman A's captained by Grace Orr, made a very hopeful venture in the tournament and captured fourth place. This was a very exceptional performance for a team of such little experience. , SOPHOMORE B The second semester sophomores led by Dorothy Rorabeck, whipped up a good team from a Very few applicants. Although win- ning only one game and losing four games, they played hard and fast at all times. FRESHMAN B The freshman B's, piloted by Rose Wood- man, showed a great sportsmanship in every game they played. Although their standing is five games lost and no games won, they played their best and hindered the other teams considerably. -i if +3 1 f I! if iz H 3 4 -Xa.

Their five wins and no losses testify of their exceptional playing ability. JUNIOR The junior team under the leadership of Bessie Hocking, who has been one of the best captains in girls' athletics, won second place, withqfour games won and one lost. The 'juniors are noted for their tem-work and sportsmanship. FRESHMAN B With three wins and two losses, Grace Orr and her team of snappy freshmen upset the usual run of things, and captured third place in the tournament. SENIOR The seniors led by Florence Lauder, were good sports and played hard. Even though they placed fourth, it required extra-fine teams to beat them. JUNIOR A A - Clara Sievers and her team of Junior A's won one game and lost four. These mid-year girls did their best, and gave everyone a light. SOPHOMORE A This other mid-year team, led by Florence Lightstone, came in sixth with five losses. Improvement was evident from game to game, but they always came out a few points behind.

The freshmen learn the fundamentals of the game ifn the gym classes, consequently almost every girl knows how to play tennis well. Last year Elfriede Horst came out the winner in the tennis tournament in which fifty girls participated. Each class champion was presented with a medal. The winners were senior, Leone Hinzeg junior, Elfriede Horst, sophomore, Bernice Orr, and fresh- men, Velma Niblock. When this article goes to press the results of this year,s tournament will not be known, but Elfriede Horst, the present champion, has an excellent chance to keep her crown. ARCI-IERY For the first time archery was added to the girls' list of sports this spring. This sport is open only to seniors and juniors. Although the girls are not very proficient in this game as yet, they are steadily improving. Several contests will be held after the art of hitting the bull's eye is mastered a little better.

Each of the six years, the government has improved somewhat until, at the present time, the officials are given great responsibilities. This municipal government of the City of Bloom, modeled after that of Lindblom High School of Chicago, has met with the approval of everyone, the students, the faculty, the principal, and the Board of Education. The power of the council, the city oflicials, and their subordinates, is embodied in a Well-formed constitution, composed by a committee of representatives of the student body, the faculty, and the principal. The sub-departments and commissions aid the mayor greatly in the performance of his task. The Chief of Police and the Fire Chief do much toward looking out for the safety of students. The police head is in charge of the Hall Guard system and the auto parking space, While the Fire Chief and his ninety-six firemen take care of all fire drills and the ventilation of the assembly. Other departments in the city are the Com- mittees of Public Improvement and of Publicity, the Program and Social Committees, the Lost and Found Department, and the Second-hand Book- store. Much interest is aroused, both inside and out- side of school, over the primaries and elections in the spring for the ensuing year. This year the primary was held on May 15, and the final elec- tion on May 22, with the result that Helen Lith- way was chosen as Mayor for 1929-30. The polls were open to only those students who became citizens by paying their semester taxes.

HALL GUARDS The hall guard system, established in 1924, has been recognized as a helpful and efficient organization at Bloom. The close of each year has found some decided improve- ment in the execution of guard duty. The standards set for the hall guards of this year was that no one should passu without a certain White slipg if such a thing happened, the Violator received a green check summoning him to the deanis office. Weaknesses of preceding years have been remedied, for the chief has endeavored to make the police force more efficient. Any ne- glect of dutes noticed by teachers is reported, and thus the department has been helped. Aside from the main duty, that of keeping the halls clear of loafers, the service of the guards is to direct visitors to their destination. Appointments to the position of hall guards are made by the Chief of Police, Henry Thoem- ing, wich faculty censorship. Scholarship enters into the requirements. One Himdred Fourteen ---W me Btoo M-M ELFRIEDE Honsr Miss THEoBALD ANNA MARY DEG1Tz President Sponsor Vice-Presideni MARIN SAIS ELSON IHELEN RORABECK Treasurer Secretary THE GIRLS' CLUB The Girls' Club has become an established organization at Bloom. Three years ago, the Bloom girls became interested in Girl Club work, and set about diligently to orga- nize. They succeeded, and now, at the end of three years, the club has received corn- mendable recognition for its continual effort to promote friendship among the girls of all classes. Bloom's dean, Miss Theobald, is the sponsor of the club. Annually, this organiza- tion elects a Board of Control made up of five seniors, four juniors, three sophomores, and two freshmen. From this group, the Board elects its oflicials-president, vice- president, secretary, and treasurer. The Girls' Club activities have been many and varied. In the fall, the club, with the G. A. A. gave a welcoming party for the new freshmen girls. During the Christmas season, the organization gave another party, and sponsored a doll festival. The dolls and toys, donated by the girls, brought cheer and happiness to many little tots, both at the Communty Center, and in the hospital wards. In Feb- ruary, the girls escorted groups of mid-year freshmen about the high school building, to show them the important places. QAt each station they received forks, spoons, cups, saucers, and napkins for the refreshments that were later served in the cafeteria.j The club is especially interested in increasing the scholarship fund, as a result, it gave a charm- ing play, My Aunt from California, the pro- ceeds of which went to swell the fund. The annual Girls' Conference of Suburban League High Schools held April 6, in Ida Noyes' Hall at the University of Chicago, was well repre- sented by Bloom. 'Thirty-five girls were royally entertained by speeches, round-table discussions, and lectures. The club is planning still further activities.

X' THE LIBRARY CLUB 5 5 i . . . . . l With the coming of June, the seniors close the library doors on their four years of 1 S reference work, but, for the underclassmen, the doors close for only two short months. A The rapidly enlarged student body has made more and more demands on the library, if if until, at present, a regular day's circulation of books shows 600 or more, or approxi- 1 mately 80,000 books for the year. I An average of seventy-five students are ac- commodated in reference work each period of the 1 E day, while the ubeforeu and after school periods ,l Q are equally crowded. 2? Miss E. Pearl Hess who reigns over Bl0om's 'l' 1 4 Z ,i bookland has ten senior girl assistants, whom she 'l 12 trained in the fundamentals of library work each 55 Monday afternoon, from 3:30 to 4:30. This fi group of girls are easily recognized by their small silver-bookn pins which each one wears. About 600 new books were added to the li- E brary, this year, in the form of histories, eco- H nomics, American and English literature, poetry, and drama. One of the most enjoyable collections of the year is a group of modern fiction for jun- f 2 iors and seniors. The main purpose of this collec- li tion is to acquaint the upper classmen with ,I . . . . I authors whose works will interest them in their after-school life.

Members of this society are chosen on a 1 basis of character, scholarship, leadership, and service to the school. Membership is 21 limited, however, to only fifteen percent of the senior class, five percent are chosen at gl the beginning of the school termg the others at ffl two elections, one at the beginning and one at the gg 1 l end of the second semester. After being elected, 35 these members are formally initiated into the or- ganization. Since the society is one of great in- 1 terest to the school, and also of value to the com- if ' munity, the Parent Teachers' Association voted, at a meeting last year, to encourage it by present- 11 ing each member with the national emblem, a gold pin having in the foreground a lighted torch, ,g , uf Honor Society has aided in raising the scholarship il standard of the school, and in encouraging and - f promoting service, leadership, and high character l i xi -K J J i M -1-r1 One Hzzndrcd Sez'mzle.f21z ls R I l l signifying knowledge.

THE BROADCASTER The Broadcaster, a four-page, lively, bi-weekly story of Bloom's activities and sidelighcs on daily events, began its real life, for the year, at the annual Illinois Press Association Convention held at Champaign, Illinois, November, 1928. The delegates- the editors, and business managers of both the Broadcaster and the Bloom-were fired with the desire to do more and better work. Moreover, the fact that the paper won a certificate of distinguished rating proved to be a great incentive to the managers. They, however, were handicapped, for last year's graduating class left the Broadcaster with very few experienced journalists to depend on. Consequently, the journalism A class, the first semester, assumed the responsibil- ities of helping publish a paper worth reading. Each student of this class was given assignments which he worked out in connection with his regular journalism course. By the second semester, the class was experi- enced enough to form a working staff, and an editor was selected, who, in turn, chose her staff from the best material. Larger sales became a feature, too, for many times the issue paid for the various cut in the paper. This last success has been due to the care- ful and diligent work of the business manager- Edward Willauer. During the year only one special edition was issued, and this celebrated Bloom's wonderful victory in football at Waterloo, Iowa.

In striving to uphold the aims-originality, better literary quality, and a livelier Q 5 student paper, the staif experimented in several new projects. The first experiment tried was that of page editors. Each page was assigned to one person who, in turn, selected his helpers. Each page editor had complete charge, and made up his page under the supervision of the editor. This system proved very successful. In striving to better the paper still further, the journalism class entered on another project. A certain number of under classmen who excelled in English were chosen by each staH member, from a list recommended by the English teachers. These reporters were given assignments by their supervisors, who corrected the work that proved satisfactory. This too, proved more successful, i-n that larger fields cf news were covered, and a more varied style of writing contributed. Although these reports haven't been given very responsible positions because of the large staff this year, they have gained much experience which will greatly aid them in their work with the journalistic writing class that is offered in l September.

THE BLOOM The Bloom fills a unique position in the life of the school-it is the cumulation of the efforts of the staff from early fall until late in spring, and of week-ends and nights of labor, of which only the faculty adviser and editor are aware. Unlike annuals of many schools, the Bloom, though published by the senior class, is an all-school book, as it portrays each phase of school life, each class, yes, each individual. Always Bloom has endeavored to present to the public an annual distinctively original and superior. The fact that each year's annual seems to be better than that of the preceding year and that the 1928 Bloom secured an all-American rati-ng, served as an impetus to this yearis staff. fEach year Bloom has succeeded in chosing a theme, an appropriate theme, to apply to each part of our school-life.j This year, because of its artistic pos- sibilities, we decided that our theme should be Japanese, preferably centered about the ancient Japanese philosophy. Towards this end Miss Hess, Miss Way, and the editor spent hours in the Chi- cago University Library, and it was here that they decided that the beautiful torii, with its ever- present shrine, so much a part of the life of the Japanese, was best suited to our school. Our I'I1lI1l'I7'Cll' Tivmzfy A . fi H f ' , X r 1-Izxyy, fo' Y 1 fx, ---M T1-1251.00 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS United we stand-divided we fall-this old saying applies to many things in life, but never more appropriately than to the publishing of a school annual. Last fall the staff was chosen and is in a great measure responsible for any success the book may enjoy. However, it is impossible for the staff to attend to all details, so there are many, aside from this appointed group, who willingly gave of their services, and to whom much credit is due. To these- i The Board of Education, without whose financial support nothing could have been accomplished. Miss Way, who with cheerful enthusiasm and helpful suggestions, gave unsparingly of her time and energy to make this book possible. Miss Hess, with her division page couplets and skillful reference work in choosing and working out the theme. Miss Ash and her corps of artists, Carlton Schofield, Harry Young, Parke Boyer, Thelma Malo, and Loretta Johnson, who have succeeded in making the book the work of art that it is.

A Miss Wallace, who culled and chose of the very best for the literary section, and Whose helpful criticism helped in various ways. Miss Mellinger, who assisted in all the proof-reading of the book. Mr. Peterson, who proved invaluable in the mounting of pictures. The typists, Florence Lauder and Rosalind Hunte, who typed continuously that copy might be sent to the printers. Miss Soderman, whose accuracy in checking on the senior achievements helped to perfect the book. Those who though late, contributed snaps that helped to reflect the life of the school-Renata Pfeil, Rose Woodman, Clara Kiestra, Henry Thoeming, Florence McCoy, Audrey Dowdy, and Nondas Moretti. To these and countless others who have contributed each in his own way, giving of time and energy to write, draw, or collect snaps. Now as I sit in Room 33, with the last proofs from the engraver sorted and all but a page or two of the dummy ready for the printers, I can not but wish that I might have it all to do over again. However, that can not be, and my only wish is that this Bloom may rank with those of other years, and be worthy of the high standards of our Alma Mater.

THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB An organization at Bloom that aifords both mirth and delight is the Girls' Glee Club. The girls who tried out for a place in this exclusive group awaited the posting of the lucky ones with anxietyg so great was their desire to belong to the Glee Club. One of the interesting programs planned and given together with the Boys' Glee Club, was a pre-Easter performance. About twelve girls appeared in a short musical production called Lady Frances. Another part of the entertainment was the singing of Come to the Fairf, Nursery Rhyme Suitef' C and l'Bells of Memory Chime fby the girlsj. Then, too, there were songs by the Boys, Glee Club, and solos by individual members of the clubs. The Girls' Glee Club had two other appear- ances to their credit: one, before the assembly at the Armistice Day programg and the other, at a meeting of the Parent Teachers' Association. The director of the organization, Miss Bliss, has said, It has been a pleasure to direct the Glee Club this year, not only because of the excellent quality of its voices, but, most important, the fine cooperation that has existed among this group of girls.

THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB Probably the most successful and popular organization at Bloom, according to the applause rendered them at their various performances, is the Boys' Glee Club. As a result of much careful and patient training on the part of Miss Bliss, the Glee Club has become a Well rounded chorus. A striking characteristic this year is its uniformity of dress-snappy blue and White blazers, bow ties, and oxford-grey trousers make a pleasing stage appearance. The annual dance, which occurred immed- iately after the Christmas holidays, is the one social function that the Club sponsors, and it proved a brilliant affair, bids were eagerly sought by other students. But earnest Work, and not so- cial actiyity, has been the real aim of the club, and, because of this, it has improved tremend- ously. Direcfor. . . P1'eside111f. , . T1'ca5zirc1'. . .

At the beginning of the semester, twelve new members were enrolled in the ranks, and with this increased membership the hopes of the organizations were high. The members of the organization elected the following students as officers: Presi- dent, Florence McCoy, Treasurer, Goldimae Donmoyerg Manager, Frederick Fisher, Librarian, John Freeland. . Following the precedent set by Mr. Ohlendorf, Mr. Webster held practices every Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Even these two practices did not satisfy the high standard that Mr. Webster had set for the orchestra of Bloom, he found that having the string and wind instruments, each on separate nights for practice, brought better results in the orchestral production. The orchestra gave the following program this year: Parent Teachers' Council Christmas Play Parent Teachers' Meeting Three One-Act Plays Senior Class Play Commencement One H uudred Twenty-seven L' gy Tv -,v -fri, lc - Q c Y at :f tl' -, 'LL' 1 T C C Ti .4 L 4 V TF F T T-'T -1, F One Hznzdred T'ZL'CIlfj'-Eiglllf ND BA INSTRUMENTATION -warren A e C. G. CRUMB Director BLOOM BAND Year by year, the band comes into greater prominence as one of the leading organ- izations of the school. Due to the earnest efforts of Mr. C. G. Crumb, the director of the band, the organization has come to furnish such a school-wide interest that its members are proud to be a part of the organization. The band has accomplished much in the last year. It was present at all of the home football games a-nd at two out-of-town games, Deerfield and Harvey. During Boys' and Girls' Week, the parade was led by the band. Probably the most outstanding feature was the trip to the contest at Elgin, Where, though competing with such schools as Waukegan, Proviso, East Aurora, and Elgin, the band did well to Win third place in the marching contest. Even though the ba-nd will lose several players through graduation, the vacancies will be filled by members of the elementary band who will enter'Bloom as freshmen.

BLOOM MASQUE The yearly call for aspirants to the Bloom Masque resulted in a hearty response. After the selection of the Masque members, followed the customary initiation by the old members. The occasion was one that the Masque members will long remember. After the initiation, the officers were elected. Under the direction of Miss Leone Renn, the new head of Bloom Dramatics, the Masque pre- sented two skits during the school year, a Christ- mas play and the three one-act plays. The Bloom Masque has been successful in giving its members i careful instruction as well as much enjoyment, and its audiences, delightful entertainment.

Thus Melisande, the imaginative daughter stood at the open Window listening absent mindedly to the Knowle familyis evening talk. Mrs. Knowle the self-appointed family invalid who believes implicitly in Dr. Anderson's skill contrives to have her plans for Melisande and Bobby Cootes' engagement brought to a successfulissue. In these fond parental plans, however, she is hindered by Melisande who holds obstinately to her visions of a fair Prince Charming clothed in shining mail who will some day come and claim her. Until One H undred Thirty-six ts., i i t jiiji 41 ---1--..4-..-.,..,...-.- r TFH2131-OoMla this event occurs she is content to live in an imaginative world with her imaginary prince. Consequently Bobby Cootes, after receiving countless rebuffs when the subject of marriage is mentioned, finds that he prefers Jane Bagot, Melisandels cousin. Late that evening as Mr. Knowle is in his library, Melisande is wakened from her reverie by what she later thinks a vision--a Knight in blue and shimmering gold-her long expected prince. A few hurriedly spoken words and he too is gone. Still affected by this unexpected visit, Melisande finds the next morning that home with its zoth century Wall street talk and discussion of foods is unbearable, and decides to walk in the woods. With visions of her prince still fresh in her memory, she comes upon him once more, and what is more wonderful, he acts and speaks as a prince who has found his lady love should. With his promise that he will come for her that afternoon, she goes home. There she is informed that a young man interested in her fatheris prints is to have tea with them. Her father had met the young fellow the previous evening when he was forced to borrow some petrol from Mr. Knowle. Very shortly a young man in golf knickers and with tendency to quote the stock market calls at the Knowle's home. He is Gervase Mallory, Melisande's prince of the Woods. Melisande is disillusioned -her happiness at finding someone who measured up to her ideal is shattered, for Gervase is just as ordinary and common-place as the other young men of her acquaint- ance. Even his explanation of how he the previous evening, dressed for a masquerade ball, had run out of gasoline and had come to the Knowle's home for aid, and how that very morning had been unable to find his way out of the woods until he met her, does not placate Melisande. Gervase, however, finally convinces Melisande that there is romance everywhere, and especially in helping him make a home for her. One'Hzmdred Thirty-seven we Vg fe- ,ut r-1-ffifleffa, 1.

The feeling is, of course, more or less transitory, for no matter how long one loafs, there must come the sad time of returning to the tasks or responsibilities which have been shirkedg but the glories of even a short time of pure, wholehearted loafing more than make up for even the most heart- or back-breaking labors. Whether it be a stolen respite from either mental or physical labor, it is equally effective in lifting the soul from the depths of despair to the very peak of ecstasy. The ideal condition for loafing is to have a huge pile of work ahead-the huger the better-and spring housecleaning offers more than one opportunity. Stiff, enormous parlor rugs to beat-dusty, musty book-cases to arrange properly-streaked, spotted windows to wash-these are only a few of the bugbears of housecleaning, and the thought of whole days of these tasks in endless, tiring rounds is indeed enough to cause anyone to contemplate suicide and bloody crimes, or at least to swear off housecleaning. But-and here lies the one redeeming feature, the diamond in the trough, the ounce of sweetness in the pound of sorrow-housecleaning would not be complete if the beds were -not dismantled for airing, anduin this seemingly hopeless task is hidden the supreme joy, that cannot be eclipsed. For what on earth could offer a better chance than the array of featherbeds, mattresses, pillows, and blankets that housecleaning inevitably brings out for airing? By clever manipulation, with probably a mattress on the bottom, then a few fluffy featherbeds, and last, any number of spare-bed pillows, in one huge tempting mountain in the warm sunlight, you have not merely a pleasure, but an abso- lute luxury, which the wealth of monarchs cannot surpass. All that is then necessary is a short run and one mighy jump, which never fails to cause the plump contours of the featherbed to close about the body as if poured down, and then forgotten are the world and its cares, even housecleaning. The sunlight pours down, until in that heavenly stage midway between consciousness and slumber, it seems almost to hum. The bees drone by, birds drift around up in the blue of the sky overhead, and in one's drowsing, half-consciousness, there faintly penetrates the soothing lullaby of the leaves overhead- until at last comes sleep, not ordinary sleep, but the deep, restful slumber that only spring sunshine and enticingly soft featherbeds and stolen fruit can offer. Of course, all too soon must come the heart-breaking awakening, which, whether it be of a sudden nature in the form of a well-aimed old shoe from an upstairs window, or merely a gradual realization that life and housecleaning are real and earnest-is inevitable, but the returns are well worth the cost. Like certain well-known flowers, it flashes oft upon the inward eye,', for once indulged in, it must needs leave an impression that never wears off.

A path of gold, made by the sun, lay across the water. On the two sides, the lake was hemmed in by gigantic precipices which looked like giants jealously guarding a precious gem. Opposite these sentinels was a fairy-like forest of stately evergreens, red oaks, white birches. Shafts of shimmering sun slid between the branches of the trees, as a shaded light through a shuttered window. At the bottom of the trees was a beautiful, many-colored carpet of flowers-blue vio- lets, yellow bufwrcups, pink andivliite wildwroses.

The gray clouds in the east were beginning to turn a delicate pink, which crept slowly along the horizon. In a few moments a tip of the sun was seen emerging from its nest of now scarlet clouds. I watched, fascinated, while the blood-red orb rose steadily out of the horizon. A heavy mist had fallen during the night, covering the earth with a misty web of fairy down. The sun, beaming down upon the dew-spangled grass, transformed it into a thousand sparkling diamonds.

A gust of wind sent it shivering and quivering with hate, up the rough stone wall. Another gust, and the liquid emerald poured over the edge of the glass cup that held it, and spilled, ghastly, on the cold cement walk, gray in the dark. Grisco, hurrying home from a dull day at the pawnshop, always stepped a little faster as he passed the old Edwardian mansion. At home he told tales-tales told so faithfully, that, after a few repetitions, he believed them himself-of Green Dragon Mansion, as he called the house. He was always half afraid of the old house, with its ever-burning green light, and its black, yawning windows. And yet, he had a secret admiration for the huge, dark pile. It was so close to adventure-mystery-the elements of life's compound that he lacked and so sorely and poignantly longed for. He had never seen Green Dragon Mansion in the daylight. Not that he never had the opportunity. Many times, while out on the family promenade, he could easily have passed by. But he had a fear-a fear of repulsion-disillusion. His mystery house of cards might tumble down about his ears. It still attracted him after three years. Its little green light still flickered and beckoned to Grisco until it had become an obsession. Tonight he closed shop early, and, as he turned the heavy key in the lock, and jingled the bunch about in his open palm, business-like, he experienced a calamity. It really wasn't a calamity-it was only a thought, but to a stolid man of the Gibraltar- like immobility of John Grisco, an alien idea was a calamity. He would go into Green Dragon Mansion that night on the Way home. He had no doubt in his mind about this. A suggestion was, to him, a semi-self-commandment. He would stay only a few hours-explore the place a little. He didn't think there would be any disturbance, this was a private affair. :L I4 :L tl :L 24 He walked up to the doorway, depressed the short iron bar, and flung the door wide. Joyously the green light skipped in before him, splashing in mouldy-green waves over the rough floor. He hurried in, slammed th door shut, and looked about. He had killed the green light, and there was only-darkness. He hesitated, then, boldly struck out into the void. He touched nothing, and became afraid of-of-well of-infinity. The air seemed to become stale, his mouth, dry. He walked faster, ran, and then, recklessly, rushed forward. Nothing, absolutely nothing, all was void. He did not know when his eyes were opened and when not. He couldn't see the blackness, he felt it. And then he collided with something-stairs. He wormed, flat on the wood, up the stairs. Here there were a few windows, and a fog-like gray spread, dully, over all. Here packing boxes lay scattered about, empty. He had never noticed how high the building was. He had a vague thought, though, that it was more than two stories high. He would see. Where would he Hnd the stairs? He saw a black nothingness ahead, and went to investigate. It was a flight of stairs. He walked bravely up, think- ing of absolutely nothing, his mind a blank. Here there were many windows along the wall, bare, some empty of panes. Walking over to one, he looked out, and down. Three stories below, the empty street wriggled its way to the center of town. He saw the car lights with their silver haloes, flashing, the wet pavements gleamed, wickedly. It was drizzling. He turned back almost joyfully. The outside was ordinary, here was the sauce that spiced the bread of life. A black shape stood a few yards away. A spectre, he thought, how appropriate. What do you here? the black, indistinct shape said in an old-fashioned melo- dramatic crook. One Hundred Forty-two 1 'flfifi fig to W e it E' ilifliifiiiigi- ---W-W T1-rebtoo -W--W Why,', said Grisco, a little startled out of his usual stolidity, the door was open, and I thought-you see I thought the building was vacant, and-er-er- Nothing more, sir, the tribunal hears all these incidental cases. Why, sir, you would'n,t drag me before a police court for such a trivial mis- demeanorf' H Trivial? the thing cried, but his face remained impassive, You call trespassing on His Lordship's property trivial? Not one line changed, the thin slit that was his mouth opened and closed, automatically. Oh, in a frightened tone, and who is the present owner of the title? Title? Humph.

Why say you that?,' Well, you said His Majesty, and- Grisco had felt a chill entering his bones as they drew nearer a certain spot in the center of the large floor. Now it was more pronouncd. He felt the tense nearness of his companion as the latter drew back some black curtains that hid an alcove in the old house. An old, dry-faced man, with a smile of satisfaction on his evil countenance, sat there, staring straight ahead of him, and did not look up, even when Grisco's companion spoke. Grisco could only stare, with a feeling of absolute inactivity, and then the Thing spoke: Master,,' in a groveling tone, another intruderf, Go, Didio, the same statement and punishmentf, Sir, he also talked of pleading. Pleading-of me? How droll!', the jarring monotone went on, its over-smooth- ness bewildering to the senses. ' A A good prospect, sir?,, Yes, carefulf, And the curtains fell together. Grisco and the Thing stood alone. Taking the arm of Grisco, the man addressed as Didio led him over to the window. The city lay spread, panoramic, before them. 'QWhy that was not King Edward, and you said the owner of this mansion was of the royalty, and called him King. Who is he then? Did you never hear of the prince named Lucifer, and sometimes-Mephistopheles? That was he.', 'lSatan! God! What wants he in the guise of man?

I die?', Here an unconscious movement, born of long acceptance of the idea came to the surface. Yes, I die. Tell Satan, 'No.' U A cry-a stabbing pain-a thud-darkness, and the long shrill wail as of Kivi, the she-demon of death, or the cry of a lost soul. A huddled bundle floated on the air out through the window, and suddenly-fell to the ground, far below. One Hundred Forty-three - - TW' fiwf- AY YJ H 7 E .4 14 V -- .f- T925 oo The awkward body of a man that had been Grisco lay, face upward, on the pave- ment. A little green light flickered in a glass cup above his face, and the light, bubbling over the brim, fell on the white, cold, marble face, lighting it up with a ghastly light, flowed over it swiftly, came back to investigate, and lingered, finally carrying away a little white spot-a soul. A flame-clothed figure watched a policeman carry away a body,-A shrill whistle-and the picture faded-and opened to the eyes of man. -Charles Doeseckle. A POEM Purring and clean, Polite and lean, A poem- Sickly and frail, Hungry and pale, A poem- Fragrant and blue, Embroidered and new, A poem- Vivid and gay, Gypsy at play, A poem- -Barbara Donaldson. HIKING Does a hike ever remind you of life? Hiking can be either a healthful sport or necessary drudgery, whatever the hiker wishes to make it. Life is the same way. I enjoy nothing better than hiking in the new spring woods where the trees are robing themselves in brilliant greens, where the flowers, wild and sweet-smelling, are bursting forth in lovely green shoots, with full buds quivering in anticipation of the beautiful blossoms they are soon to become. Cannot life be like that-a bud ready to burst into full bloom? Few people really enjoy hiking-they cover the ground, but they tramp under their very feet the struggling plants, they overlook the soft beauty of a freshly painted wood- land, supremely peaceful, with the silence broken only by the bright chattering of gayly- plumed birdsg they see only the dirt road before them. Do not some people lead just such a life-they are here,-they cannot help it-they must make the most of it? They lead a humdrum existence, never realizing that there is any beauty, destroying it if any does appear. s Are you enjoying the beauty of nature on your hike, or are you dragging through a never-ending, Sunless path? -Ruby Killian.

There are letters in heavy manila envelopes, in official white bond, in duplex, in return tof' in oblong or square envelopes, envelopes written in blue black, sometimes purple or green ink. Yet to me the most interesting is the letter sent in the un-inked, rubbed-out, pencil-addressed letter. It is only the envelope that I am privileged to see, and although I am not a graphologist, yet I never fail to have a very vivid mental picture of the unknown sender. I always see a tousle-headed youngster kept in the house by ihe persistent rain outside, trying to wile away the monotonous day by pushing a chewed and stubby pencil with his grimy, play-marked fingers. He seems to be writing with the aid of his flat little nose, so closely does he bend over his work as he tries to copy what his mother has printed for him. The Zis and s's are puzzling, but never the less the letter is finished, the weighty document is folded, and although it somehow fits into the envelope, the smooth surface is marred with bulges. Once more the pencil is usedg the flap, as it is swept across the lower portion of the little fellow's face, receives a thorough moiste-ningg the stamp thinks itself on an inland sea, and it is only after it receives a Vicious jab with the small clenched fist that it decides to stick. We now have the finished product, a letter to Santa, to grandmother, or perhaps to some older brother or sister. This is the picture I like to see as I watch the mail being deftly sorted out, while I patiently stand in the Beecher post-office. -Elfriede Horst. One Hundred F arty- five - THE BLDC?

UMOR PIERCING, SPICY, TEASING, CRISP, ALL THESE ARE THE SHAFTS OF HUMOR THAT BRIGHTEN SCHOOL DAYS.

In fact I am so conceited I believe I could write a book on the 'Secret of My Success and Good Looksf I don't like to be too optimistic but 1,11 wager that I finish today in a good twenty-four hours-Visitors! Well so soon! I must be pretty popular with that fellow. Oh! you weren't waiting for me? All right go ahead talk to her, then you'll be sorry for this about the eighth period. fThe bell rings.j Now just what right have those fellows to look at me like that? I am just performing a very necessary duty, by sounding this clarion at 8:20. One would think some of those boys came to school for continual re- cess.-That lad and lassie back there have written enough notes to make a good volume of contemporaries, look at the queer expression on that fellow's face over there, now that furnishes a real test beaten by three puffs. What is Wrong with that speciman of agony? My three guesses are, either he's trying to say Constantinople with his mouth shut, he has a toothache or, perhaps, he's attempting to think. fMr. Boyer announces that third hour classes are to passj. No assembly? Oh, so they're planning to save me for the Junior Prom-well not so long as I feel as well as I do now. Brrrr-ha! ha! look at the amazement on all those faces. Well, listen chil- dren and you shall hear some flrst class bell ringing-Brrr Brrrr, ha! ha! brrr goup-oh! I can't hold myself any more-brrrr. Now here comes Mr. Dyerg honest, Mr. Dyer, I didn't mean it. Oh, well, go ahead shut me off, I had a good time out of it anyhow. QMr. Dyer rings bell.j So you're going to guillotine the third period, well that's none of my business, because I would be worse than dizzy if I were to guess when and how to ring after the third period. Another fellow saved by that bell, one more minute and he would have been taking the long count, besides being sent on the straight and narrow path to the oiiice, for the simple misdemeanor of exercising his molars too strenuously on a creation of Mr. Wrig- ley's famous product. fThe time has now arrived for the faculty, students, and otherwise, temporarily to lay aside their scholastic pursuits and participate in the very necessary collation.j This period may mean a great deal to some people, but it's just another hour to me. Here comes the Big Parade as usual. This is getting to be more than a coincidence,-the way those selfsame fellows meet their respective girl-friends every noon hour. Well, for regularity they are becoming my closest competitors. Ha-ha! That fellow five seats out in section B may make a good soloist, but he'll have to use his imagination if he wants to converse with anyone. Now the much- longed-for eighth period has arrived. I am frequently informed as to what those fellows want me to do, and I am willing to do anyone a favor once in a while, but to hurry is one thing I will not do. One Hundred Forty-eigh!

And tenderly his hand he placed Upon his heaving front- And warily felt beneath his belt With many a piteous grunt. Oh, mother! make haste! he shrieks aloud, I fear my life is out! For in me here, I haveha fear That things are mixed about!', ' I knew when I ate those pickles and cream That my stomach would not be pacific, But neier did I dream -fand he gave a wild screamj That 'twould give me a pain so terrific! And what do you leave to your father, my son? Cried his mother in fright and in fear- To him I bequeath my new Ford so neat, Though the left tire is flat in the rearf' And what do you leave to your mother, my son, Who has cared for you most, no doubt?', But with a sad sigh, he closed tight each eye, And from this cruel world he passed out.
