They have assumed the task of man- aging the problems of an over crowded school, and administering the financial con- ditions during a year when economic conditions have been quite stringent. In addition they have spent much of their time, both night and day, guiding the new high school project. Although thus occupied with these weighty problems, they have always been willing to give their attention to personal matters of individual teachers. Page 21 English and Arts epartments FLORENCE V.

When every student, his own brig Through the sea of Time will steerg When Old Bloom is anchored fast A new ship in its place-how dear - Will seem each lesson learned from them To put to use on rudder gear, Of the vessel shaped and moulded By the faculty of Bloom. Though names of warriors history make, And statesmen's names the sameg Though beautiful temples are built in a day, To which only artists may attain. Though paintings rare and literature fine Grace the annals of all time, 'Tis really the teacher steadfast and true Who builds this world sublime. -Juanita Gansen , , At the beginning of the s HILDUR SODERMAN THE OFFICE FORCE Miss Soderman, the assembly teacher would like some hall passes, please. Miss Soderman, who is busy typing, turns from her work and with a smile supplies the need of the student. Then she goes back to work again, but not for long. Oh, Miss Soderman, may I please use the telephone? is the next query. Again she must stop her work, while she graciously grants the students' requests. With untiring patience, our Miss Soderman renders invaluable service to Mr. Boyer, the teachers, and students of Bloom. Aside from her duties as secretary, she handles all student rankings and honor lists, and arranges programs for the Bloom students. She is an unfailing source of information relating to any school matter, and is of utmost service to both the Bloom Annual and the newspaper in her willingness and ability to answer the incessant questions of either staff. As stenographer to the Board of Education, Miss Soderman attends all Board meetings and keeps tab on the smallest details. A second member of the office force is Miss Stella Leech, 'assistant to Mr. Wilson, the school treasurer. Miss Leech is especially helpful to the treasurers of various organ- izations, as she keeps their accounts from entanglements. She also helps Miss Soderman with the more minute oiiice duties. fall semester Miss Edna Rauhut, Miss Soderman's assistant, left Bloomg she was succeeded by Devere Bixler. It is Miss Bix- lcr's duty to check the student's daily attendance. Every day she may be seen also working at the mimeo- graph machine, running off neat, readable examina- tions, thus making the i teachers' and students' . A work easier.

S Blanche Young Clare Luecke Sponsor President Antha Mathews Secretary A SENIOR RETROSPS S a compensation for the three diligent years of study on the partof the class of 1931, the highest rank in high school-that of Senior-was attained. Although carrying out their duties as lower classmen in a very creditable manner, the members of the class of '31 put forth greater efforts during their senior year. Organizing early in the fall semester of '30, the class placed its trust in officers of high scholarship: Clare Luecke was elected president, William Hartman, vice-presidentg Antha Mathews, secretaryg and Elsie Anderson, treasurer. These officers had the support of' the entire class in the selection of rings and announcements and in the planning of social activities. The class owes much to the kindly criticism and helpful advice of Miss Blanche Young, its sponsor. , i Early in February, the senior class sponsored a very successful afternoon party. The fact that senior pictures were taken earlier than usual caused much excitement during the latter part of the first semester. The last of April, Miss Mernitz selected a cast and began work on the senior class play, Captain Applejackf' which was presented during the month of May. Seniors accepted, for the first time, the responsibilities of the busi- ness management of a production. In selecting an editor and business manager for the Bloom, the class again placed its trust in students of high scholastic standing. Ruth Kelly was entrusted with the gigantic task of editing the Bloom, and William McKnight was chosen as Business Manager. Seniors possessing literary talents or the ability to sell advertisements worked diligently in order that the publication might be ready for June. And last! The Senior banquet! Held in June, this final get-together of the entire class was a huge success, and one that will never be forgotten. As the class of '31, with its orators, athletes, scholars, journalists, actors, and busi- ness-minded students enter the various walks of life, it is their hope that the journey may be as pleasant and profitable as their sojourn at Bloom.

Page 47 THE OLD HARBOR IIN THE midst of the exciting preparation for graduation, we stop to meditate a moment-wistfully remembering our years at Bloom. Then, it occurs to us that we are the last class to be graduated from Old Bloomf' In this reflective mood We desire to look back, far beyond our freshman year, into the history of Bloom. 1900-the opening of the glorious twentieth century-found an infant Bloom, consisting of three teachers and twenty students, located in the old Washington School, now replaced by the fine, modern Washington Intermediate School building. Two years pass, the east portion of the present structure housed a growing student body. The building boasted six rooms. On the first floor were three rooms for language, history, English, and the office. On the second floor were two rooms for mathematics, and science, and the assembly hall. There was no gymnasium. The boys played bas- ket ball on the ordinary board floor of the attic. The low ceilings interfered with the shots, and the spectators were obliged to stand, since there were no bleachers. Football was the favorite sport, and the front campus was the scene of many a battle royal. Bloom grew rapidly, in 1910 the present assembly hall and boys' gymnasium enlarged the original plant. In the room now used for the cafeteria, a woman was given the privilege of fur- nishing lunch to all who stayed-including everyone. She was not given a salary, but made whatever profit she could. Many a mischievous boy slipped down, whenever he had opportunity, for a delicious morsel. The first library consisted of a few volumes piled in the center of a long table on the north side of the assembly room. Later, the books were moved to a few large cases fusually lockedj in the hall adjoining the present library. As the number of books increased, they were moved into the principal's private oflice. Plans were soon made for a library. The English room was found most usable and, properly equipped, it served its purpose very well for some years. The institution grew, more changes and improvements were necessary. In 1919, the class rooms above the present study hall were completed to care for the increasing number of students. In April of the same year, the northeast corner of the campus, where tennis Stats are now made, was purchased. It was the site of the old Town Hall of Bloom and the original building still stood there, built probably seventy years before. An old record reads-- This building is rectangular, one story, painted white, having a low lime-stone foundation but no basement. For some time past it has been used to store the election booths of the Township-and is an eye-sore to the new modern high school building. Eventful years follow. In 1922 North Hall, then a residence, was purchased, and two years later twelve acres north of town were secured for an athletic field. At the same time, further improvements were made to the main building-a girls' gymnasium was added, and the office and library enlarged. The library, now installed in a large well- lighted room, has increased from twenty-nine hundred books in September, 1923, to approximately seventy-five hundred well-selected volumes in April, 1931. Now it is ranked one of the best of its size. Besides the phenomenal growth in the physical plant, the following courses have been installed: business, manual training, domestic science, and physical training. At- tendance has doubled-the enrollment has increased from six hundred eighty-four in 1923 to twelve hundred sixty-four in 1931. The faculty has shown a similar increase- from nineteen in 1919 to forty-nine in 1931. Now, after thirty years, l'Old Bloom is to be abandoned. Plans for the new building are completed, and a beautiful structure is already looming up to the north of us. Setting out from the Old Harbor, we carry away with us cherished memo- ries of the favorite haunts we have learned to love. Ruth Kelly Page 48 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SI complete the pages of my dummy Qwhich, by the way, is the pasted book in curi- ous combinations of red and green copy, and pasted models of the beautiful pictures you see throughout the bookj, I am impressed with the fact that there are many besides the staff members whose work has been very helpful in producing this-our senior an- nual-and who are deserving of thanks. Therefore, I devote this page to a few expres- sions in grateful appreciation for the work of those who would otherwise be silent laborers behind the scenes. Without Miss Way's guiding hand, the book could not have been. The time and energy she gave, together with her willingness to turn her attention at any time to Bloom work, served as an inspiration to all the members of the staff. Miss Hess discovered the adaptability of a theme of Viking Adventure to life at Bloom. Being always ready to assist, she searched about in Norse Mythology, and found valuable material which gave our theme its rich meaning. The commercial classes, under the supervision of Miss Ash, sketched the lovely drawings which aided further in interpreting the theme. The following contributed to the art work: Marietta Isaacs, Phil Pfeil, Robert Kuss, Loretta Johnson, Frank Guinup, Jennie Jankowski, Winona Shaner, Bernice Greene, Alfred Rosenberg, and Eugene Fraz- zini. Elizabeth Leising and Mario DeLuca, under the direction of Miss Ash, planned and arranged the kodak pages. Miss Soderman's accurate checking of all senior achievements and honors, and the assistance which she cheerfully gave at all times were greatly appreciated by the staff. The fine literary section, selected by Miss Wallace, represents the cream of her senior English. The junior, sophomore, and freshman sections were under the directions of Miss Mellinger, Miss Switzer, and Miss Simmonds. Miss Mellinger also aided greatly in the tedious task of proofreading. The stupendous task of planning and writing the athletic section was assumed by John Meyers. The small workshop adjoining the journalism room-the Sanctum Sanctorum of the editor-was used for preparing copy. The following typists worked diligently in helping out the annual: Martha Kever, Florence C. Baker, Gertrude Kachel, Selma Heldt, Kathleen Grace, and Clara Sievers. Mr. Lare assumed the responsibility of managing the advertising. Under his helpful instructions, Clarence Einhorn, Assistant Business Manager, and the following aided in defraying the expenses of the book: John Siriani, Henry Silberg, Juanita Gansen, Miles Zeller, Gladys Scott, Oliver Dawley, George Dawley, and Dorothy DeBolt. Mr. Peterson kindly assisted by marking off the mounting board for the cuts. Lastly, there is Mr. Hub, custodian of North Hall, who came to our rescue many times by rushing material to the post office. In conclusion, we hope that the Norse emblems-unique shields, interesting horn drinking cups, raven banners, and winged helmets-will enable the reader to catch the spirit of those sea-roving Viking peoples. EDITOR Page 49 Page 5 0 IN MEMORIAM Willard Damon, a member of the Senior Class, passed away February lst, 1931, after a very short illness.

I should say in his easy chair, for he had carefully deposited himself in an arm chair, reinforced with pillows, foot stool, and reading lamp, to wait for an idea. For exactly ten minutes his fertile brain had scampered over various subjects with absolutely no effect. He was in deep despair when suddenly a single word in the newspaper lying beside him caught his eye-it was Einstein.,' Now there was a man who got ideas, too many of them, in fact. The junior picked up the paper and casually, as was his custom, scanned the article. He finally found that it was quite impossible to get any meaning from it by scanning it and in desperation settled himself to read it. But. lo and behold! when he had finished, his face was as blank as before. Evidently Einstein always wrote in his native language-jewish! One word, however, managed to be caught and held. It was 1 relativity,,' which had been repeated so many times in the article. The junior had heard of relativity, but was not quite sure of it. He then did an unforgivable thing. He broke an unwritten law of all students and used the dictionary on his own initiative. It said- the relation or proximity of one subject to another. Ye gods! thought the junior as he looked up proximity and learned that it means uclosenessf' At last like a streak of lightning, it struck him. Before his vision flashed a very common picture an apparently deserted car parked in the shadows at the side of the road. Time? Any evening. Occupants?-Well? The junior was suffused with a warm glow of brotherly love. Even Einstein and he had ideas in common. What Am I Here For? Now I wonder. For a time I had various settled ideas of my owng but time, my parents, my teachers and minister, and my friends have all combined to change these. The worst part of it is-they all have different ideas, and for the life of me I can't see how I am going to comply with all of them, for they are all contradictory. My father has advised and outlined a strictly business-like and sensible lifeg the ministers advise upright virtuous living, and no one can deny the wisdom in either of these. But, shall I use them as a whole? I doubt it. My friends, girls of course, look upon mar- riage as the inevitable culmination of high school or college, but, somehow, this does not entice me either. I, myself, long for a colorful, romantic, entirely different life- of travel or some enthralling and unusual Work. But, then, who doesn't? There are so very few who ever really realize their hopes that I have almost abandoned mine. Maybe I am somewhat a believer in fate, for I think that somewhere my own work in this world is prepared for me. The bigger question is-Shall I succeed? Page 5 6 Why Is A Junior? Lots of people are wondering that, especially the Juniors themselves. There is only one explanation as far as I can see QMaybe I'rn not far sighted enough, thoughj. A Junior is a necessary evil like cod liver oil and Saturday night baths. What happens to a student after he finishes sophomore drudgery? He cannot become a senior, for he has not acquired that nonchalance which the senior combines so invariably with his worldly knowledge. There must be something to do with him. Some one had a bright idea. He invented and propagated the junior class. So now that is what happens to students before they can become seniors, and it's nobody's fault but their own. A junior is generally accused of being the instigator of most flamboyant practices around school. He is the originator of many tricks and tom-fooleries, amusing and otherwise. In the frequent and varied discussions of these, the effect upon the teachers and other receivers of these actions is always noticed. What about the effect upon the juniors themselves? X What is this? He is travelling the halls of Bloom with a hesitant step. Let us follow this strange bit of humanity to learn his identity and possibly his habits. Now he is looking in at the south side assembly. Will he enter? No, he hurriedly leaves the vicinity of such haughty personages. Ah! Maybe Mr. Boyer wants to see him, but no, he just wanders back and forth until he sees a group scanning the bulletin board. He reaches the outer fringe of the group but can see nothing. Oh! to have the commanding height of that person near the door. He doesn't have to stretch to look over others. What dignity he possesses! Surely he is a senior. With such possible reflections the wanderer climbs the grand staircase. This is worse than a Chinese puzzle. Rooms to the right of him, rooms to the left of him, doors opened and slammed shut, with quaking heart this stray bit creeps forward on his exploration trip. He is turning into a room now. It is Miss Haskett's. He wishes to know if this is the Latin room. It is, but from his manner he seems glad his teacher is not the one with the flashing grey eyes. Now he is at Miss Herr's room. He enters. Not daring to break in on the con- versation, he uncomfortably shifts his weight from one foot to the other. These boys seem to be teasing Miss Herr. Why don't. they go away and let someone else talk to her? There is some justice in the world after all. The bell rings, and the boys are leaving. He hears someone asking something. He looks around. Why, the teacher is talking to him. He is informed that he is in the right place. With a contented sigh, he picks a seat which is farthest from the teacher, and begins to take inventory of the objects in the room. This isn't so bad. He has some friends in the room. It could be Worse. Ulysess has reached his Thrace. g Page 57 JUNIOR THE first long slanting rays of the morning sun pierce their way through a window. They dart here and there as if seeking for something. At last they have found the right place, for they settle down and shine in a straight steady line into the eyes of junior. Soon junior's eyes blinkg he opens them, then, in a grumbling voice, says, Pull down the shades. With much commotion he turns his back on the- sun's rays and goes to sleep. Is this young man enjoying the beauty of the sun and morning? Not at allg he is snatching the last precious hour of sleep. But he will have to awake, for it's already 7:40. Well, junior musthave finally got up for here he comes up the steps of the High School. He greets that rather gangling boy over there with a Hello Soph. He doesn't seem to know the little boy called freshman, who timidly Walks away when he sees this upperclassman coming, this awe-inspiring person. And now as junior walks into the assembly, he is greeted by that young man called senior. This is the beginning of another day which will undoubtedly hold something interesting in it for junior and perhaps senior also. And Why Not? I cannot be hurried By shortage of time, I cannot be Worried- That fault isn't mine, In fact there is nothing As far as I see, That really and truly Does bother me. I travel through life With a grin a mile wide, Wherever you see me There are pals by my side- In short I am trying A good sport to be, For that is each Junior's Philosophy- In case you think those verses Are flippant and blase, A Ild better add-Our true worth Will be brought out some day.

No more swimming in the blue lake, no more lolling on ' golden sands beneath a golden sun. School had started, and we were all a part of the horde of extremely green Freshmen. When a teacher fixed on us a penetrating eye, we shivered with fear. When we approached upper classmen, we fairly oozed humility, for there always lurked in our minds the sad story of the little freshie who had sassed a senior and who had been put under the showers. The bells seemed never-ending and very misleading, for how was it that one started out for la class and ended up in 11lb Latin room? The main stairs were a source of terror, for every day some hurrying freshman tripped and fell, to the amusement of all present. But those days quickly wore away. Another summer passed by on sunlit hours, and the once green horde came back to school with a few inches added to its height, a summer's tan, and a new sense of prestige. We gave directions to timid freshiesg tripped merrily down the once forbidding halls, climbed the stairs without the old fears, and even looked the teachers boldly in their once awe-inspiring eyes. Time passes on flying hours. We have all partaken of the fun and labor of school life in the past two years. We look back wistfully on the joys of the past, and gaze hopefully into the mists of the future. THE CITY It rises, with its towering heights High above meg it casts its shadows On the hordes that swarm beneath it. It is a mystery. By day, a pit Into which stray bits of sunshine wander, Revealing the mass of humanity That struggles and toils Within its depths. By night, An illuminated fairyland. The plodding masses forget the realities of day- Frolic and revel in a mad pursuit of happiness. Beneath the city's dazzling heights Stretches the underworld- Grim, cruel. A coiled serpent- A sinister meaning. The city-a mystery. Page 6 3 TICK-TOCK-TICK-TOCK. - - Here I am perched on the wall in the assembly-room, and here I have been for many years watching the youthful troopers as they start the four-year journey up the mountain of knowledge Q-the timid freshmen, the confident sophomores, the haughty juniors, and finally the dignified seniors-J. Oh, wait! It's the Sophomore class of 1931 that I have my eyes on. Halfway up the mountain of Bloom, they are going strong. It is 'not always easy climbing. Every once in a while, they find an obstacle in their path. Sometimes it is geometry, and again it is Latin, but with a hand from their teachers, who are their guides, they soon master their troubles and keep on climbing. Oh! It is a wonderful class-second to none in the history of Bloom. Such scholars, athletes, actors, artists, debaters, and poets as it possesses! I do hope-but oh my-I am so worried. I hear hammering in the distance, and I fear a new City of Bloom is being erected with a larger and higher mountain in the backgroundg however, the facilities there will make the climbing easier. I suppose I'll be too old-fashioned to go to live in the new Bloom. No doubt one of those newfangled clocks called electric', will take my place. That is progress I sup- pose. I wouldn't care if I could just stay long enough to see the sophomores of 1931 reach the summit of the mountain of Bloom in 1933. Then each and everyone will find waiting for him a reward of merit, marked diploma,', which will open the door to opportunity as he steps out to ascend loftier mountains of learning, or to take his place in the work-a-day world. Tick-tock-Tick-tock. Night Flower Dusk Like a misty robe Rests upon the city. Pin points of gold Spring up from everywhere. Against a background of Flaming sunset, The buildings tower. Darker and duskier Grows the sky. More lights burst out, To fall upon the water And pierce the gloom. Can this be the city That a scant hour ago Was cold and gray Etched against the clouds of day? It is the same, But like a night flower, It blossoms under the moon.

We entered Bloom's great hallsg As each of us recalls. Hark! I-Iark! I hear 11 slam, klick! Were ugreenn and freshie too! And in surprise I reelg I turned about and answered then, Alas, 'twas but a senior I'm not so stale as youf' With clatter plate on heel.

An Inventory Of My Treasures Why, here is a football schedule I thought I had lost. From the year of 19283 well, that's something worth keeping. How well I remember that great day! It was snowing-a light, wet snow-and the field was very muddy. I was in the ,seventh grade then, and all I talked about was the Saturday that Bloom played Thornton. I think I'll put that in this big white box with my precious invitations, programs, etc. And what have we here? My sixth grade composition book, Here are a few titles: 'The Little Hatchet and Cherry Tree.' 'Abraham Lincoln's Boyhoodf 'My Dog Fido,' etc. I'll pack that in this Martha Washington candy box because there are some patriotic themes in the book. Here are a few knick-knacks. My first flower--what an antique! It is composed of taffeta rosebuds trimmed in red yarn. I believe I received it as a birthday gift. Here is my primer reader, and a summary of the first paragraph: 'I have a little dog. His name is Brownie. He likes me very much. He is my companion. When I run, he runs, and when I jump, he jumps.' I have a shelf full of books, I'll stick it in there and read it through some day. Here is my first writing certificate, my county graduation diploma, my arch- idiocese diploma, master writing diploma, etc. As I sit in my bedroom looking over my treasures and souvenirs, I recall the won- derful times I have had and the pleasantness of them all. About every two years I take them out, finger them carefully, making casual remarks about each. I sometimes wish I could keep every token of a good time I have had in my girlhoodf' Getting Up Early In The Morning It was a bright summer morning in May. A small bird was sitting on the ledge of my window and singing and twittering as though to say, Get up, lazy, and get out into this fine morning air. I didn't notice this sleep disturber until with one loud blast he woke me up. Not he alone but a few other birds joined him. It seemed as though they made a practice of breaking up slumber with their noisy quartet. Besides these birds, the alarm clock started jumping around and the chimes on the other big clock started ringing. Many health oflicials say, Keep your window open and let in fresh air. Well, the air those birds took was too fresh. Any one of these doctors, hearing such a noise as that, would put padlocks on his windows. After getting out, however, in that refreshing air I was thankful to those birds. Every night following this I put crumbs on the ledge, and every morning I was awakened by their twittering and singing. Page 69 Troubles Of An English Student It was February 20, 1931, by the calendar. Our assignment for English was 'Iheme II. The teacher had given us this assignment a day ahead of time, so that we would have something to keep us awake that night. She was very successful, indeed, with me. I Went to bed and thought and thought. I probably wouldn't have a theme ready. I heard the clock strike every hour of the night. I was still awake when the first ray of dawn came, and still I hadn't thought of anything to write. My uppermost thought throughout the day was of my theme for English. I went to my manual train- ing class, my physiology class, my fifth hour assembly, and all the time I was trying to think of something to write about in English. During the fifth hour I tried to work algebra, but the thought of what to write for English prevented me from getting any problems. When my algebra teacher called for my work, I handed in but two and a half problems and one of them was wrong. The seventh hour eventually came. I went to the assembly after chasing a boy friend to borrow his fountain pen. It was my last chance for a theme. In desperation I scratched a few words on a sheet of paper and called it a theme. I read it and then reread it. It didn't sound right. I tore it to pieces and started a new one. It Was'n't much better than the first, and met the same fate as the other one had. I stared at the clock-ten minutes in which to write a theme. Suddenly, I was seized with an inspiration. Snatching a piece of paper from my notebook, I wrote as fast as possible. When it was finished, it occurred to me that I would probably have more chance at a good grade than before. The bell rang., and I went to English. I felt as though the world had mistreated me. Why did we have to write themes? What good did they do us? When the teacher called for our papers, I reluctantly handed in mine, written in two shades of ink. A Consolation Never mind, little Freshie, Don't you cry, Seniors once were green In the days that have gone by. Why, you're those noted Freshmen, That they all hear so much aboutg That's why people stop and stare, Whenever you go out. Where would seniors be, If a few years ago, Each hadn't been a freshie? Donlt be so filled with woe! Be brave, little Freshie, Dry the tears from your eyeg Maybe you'll be a senior, Before many years pass by. Page 70 Jupiter and Juno A Modern Mytlo Sister Juno and Brother jupiter Were married, as you know, But their lovely married life Went as many others go. Jupiter came home one day With lipstick on his cheek- And Juno then piped up and said, You low-down, naughty sneak! Jupiter ran for the edge of Heaven And dived out into space- For a pillow was thrown at him, All fringed in golden lace. It hit him on his bony head And split right square in twog And millions of little feathers Around old jupiter flew. Every one of those little fellows Straight to earth did gog They are the little white flakes That are known to us as snow. Page 7 1 rowding close to the rail of the ship's deck, the men watch the daring ath- lete hreathlessly. Now and again they burst into cheers. OLDER EDDA Tho the scene change to gym or hard-fought field, still, just as sports, indoor and outdoor, were reckoned honorable accomplishments among the Vikings, so at Bloom the spirit of contest is high. We own with them the age-old desire to meet others in contests of strength, wit, and skill. Ana' we, too, cheer.

R. Nelson is the man responsible for Bloom's athletic program during the entire year. Besides his position as athletic director, Mr. Nelson is president of the South Suburban League, being the originator of the circuit. He also coaches lightweight football and is head track coach. In the past Mr. Nelson has de- veloped several members of his squads into ath- letes capable of placing in state-wide meets. E. R. Nelson SARFF Completing his sixth year as head coach at Bloom, C. M. Sarff presented a football team that won as many games as they lost, a bas- ketball team that won the South Suburban League Championship and successfully de- fended their district title at Kankakee. Concen- trating on the future, Coach Sarff has built up teams that are potential champions on the gridiron as well as on the hardwood. C. M. Sarff M'CANN Bloom is indeed fortunate in having a man like H. W. M'Cann on her coaching staff. He is recognized as the best lightweight coach in the state, and the record of his teams ratifies this recognition. M'Cann would rather lose a game in which his proteges played smart ball, than win one through the misplays of the op- position. Coach M'Cann is the line coach dur- ing the grid season, and handles baseball in the A K spring. H. W. M,Cann Page 7 3 - Gonfber Kicks PARKER AT BLOOM Meeting a heavier and more experienced eleven in Parker of Chicago, Bloom dropped the second tilt, thirteen to nothing. Led by Dennis, all-city tackle, the Chi- cagoans threatened the local goal line all afternoon, but were repeatedly staved off. However, in the last five minutes of play the Blue and White gridders tired, and Parker scored twice, once, after a long march, and later, on an intercepted pass. ZAGONE Not brilliant, but steady and dependable, Alex Zagone, Bloom's right guard, rounded into one of the season's best linemen. His ability to keep cool under any circumstance proved a great asset when the going was toughest. Moreover, his lack of height was offset by a fighting spirit and grim determination. Zagone has another year of football left and, should he continue to develop, Coach Sarif will have one of the classiest linemen in the South Suburban. GALIENE .141 For the third consecutive year, Mario Galiene headed the Bloom scoring column, and captured the fullback berth on the all-South Suburban honor eleven. He was, without a doubt, the most valuable player on the team, countless long runs by oppos- ing backs were averted by his deadly tackling, and an equal number of long runs by Bloom backs was made possible by his fierce blocking. In the Hyde Park game Galiene was at ' his best, offensively. He slashed the line, ran the ends, and grabbed passes in big league Gagim, Z,g0,,,, style. He has another year on the gridiron. Page 74 First and T017 CALUMET CITY ' The South Suburban inaugural was won from Calumet City,-Thornton Fractional -eight to nothing. A blocked punt gave the Sarffmen a two point advantage in the opening quarter. Thereafter the visitors were shoved all over the field, but Bloom was unable to score until the fourth period, on a sixty-five yard march with Martin bearing the brunt of the attack. Bloom amassed sixteen first downs to the losers' none. HENDRON Playing his first year in big time competition, Hendron rapidly developed into one of the best ends in the conference. He was equally adept at snaring passes and downing winners. In the second Thornton game, Hendron rendered the Thorntonites' potent lateral pass play practically useless. He was chosen as end on the Daily News all-South Suburban second team, a fact to be appreciated since he has another year of eligibility. GONCHER John Goncher was the triple-threat man of the 1930 back- field. As a ball-carrier Rube could circle the ends, shoot off tackle, or hit the line,-all with equal sagacity. His passes were accurate, and well- timed. As a punter he was the class of the league, never failing to out-distance the op- posing booter. Moreover, he was equally eiiicient on defense, covering passes and nabbing runners. He blocked hard, and made few errors in calling the plays. He was chosen quarter-back on the Chi- cago Daily News honor team, but is lost to Bloom, having completed his eight semesters, Hmdmn Gowlm Page 7 5 Down! THORNTON AT BLOOM For the first time since presentation of the Competitive Cup, Bloom lost the Bloom- Thornton game for the Warner Trophy to Thornton. Klein's forty-yard run and Forbes' successful plunge for the point, in the first minutes of play, were the deciding factors. The two rivals battled the remainder of the game without result, although Bloom endan- gered the goal in the second quarter. Thornton displayed a conservative brand of ball from the time they scored until the final whistle. LEONARD Perhaps the best forward pass receiver on the squad was Bud', Leonard, a half- back. Used as a decoy man who ran toward the sidelines as the signals were being calledg Leonard would turn sharply, pull a pass out of the air, and be on his way. His handling of punts was almost perfect, since only one fumble was charged against him. Bud is a junior and has another year on the gridiron. -l ' ZELLER By virtue of his previous experience, Zeller was award- ed the captaincy of the 1930 eleven, and he proved his leadership through- out the season. Zeller was a fine offen- sive lineman, opening holes in the oppo- nefnts' forward wall, and often beating the ends down on punts. On de- fense he possessed the knack of sifting through the interference to get at the runner. His playing was in keeping with his official capacity. He is an- other player who is lost to the team Lmmml ZPHH through graduation. Puge 7 6 Lazvnickfs Ball I KANKAKEE AT BLOOM Held to a tie by an outfit they outclassed by three touchdowns was Bloom's lot in the Kankakee encounter. The Blue and White gridders looked like champions until they advanced the oval within the downstaters' twenty yard line. Here the attack would lose its punch and the ball would be lost on downs. Bloom made eight first downs to their opponents' two and rolled up 114 yards from scrimmage to Kankakee's 61. WIDEN Until the second Thornton game Widen was just another lineman, but on that memorable day his inspired and brilliant play was the highlight of the traditional strug- gle. The fighting Swede broke through the powerful Thornton line to nail the highly- touted backs for innumerable losses. He covered punts before the endsg and his block- ing was a work of art. Widen continued this type of play in the season's finale with Hyde Park and was rewarded with a guard position on the all-conference team. He is lost to the team by the eight semester ruling. i MARTIN Speed and drive were the principal as- sets of George Martin, one of the best offensive backs on the squad. In the game with Calumet City, Martin's smashes made a clean cut victory possible. Again in the Urbana encounter, he ripped through the line to give Bloom an early lead. Martin is lost to the ranks through the eight semester rule. WMM Mmm Page 77 Liesenfelt Downs Klien BLOOM AT THORNTON All advance dope was upset when the second Bloom-Thornton game ended in a scoreless tie. The Thorntonites were confident of an easy victory, but the play of the inspired Bloomites held them in check. A long run by Klien endangered Bloom's goal in the opening minutes, and Ri'ng's drop-kick missed connecting, by inches, in the final seconds. The Sarffmen played a defensive game throughout. I FERRY The pivotal position was manned by Bill Ferry, who handled the diHicult position in capable style by his accurate passing and also his success in the mud against Hyde Park. His play was always steady and, at times, brilliant. In the Kankakee game Ferry was all over the gridiron, batting down rival passes, streaking down under punts, and doing some great tackling. In the second Thornton game he backed up the line in a commendable fashion. Ferry was awarded the center position on the all-conference 'Li-1 teamg he is lost to the squad through the eight semester rule. SIMON Beginning the year on the bench, Howard Simon gradually developed into a capable oval toter, and, as the season progressed, he shared the signal calling and forward passing. Simon blocked and tackled well, and used his experience on the under path to a good advantage until a late season injury forced him to the sidelines. He will ' - i - return in the fall for another season Simon FMU, on the gridiron. Page 7 8 Galienc Scores HYDE PARK AT BLOOM Bloom brought the grid season to a close by defeating Hyde Park of Chicago, thirteen to nothingg this scoring was done in the last five minutes of play. After hold- ing the upper hand throughout, the Blue team advanced the ball within scoring distance, where Galiene scored. A minute later Bielauskas intercepted a pass and ran nfty yards to the two yard line, where Galiene again plunged over. LAWNICKI Endowed with natural football ability, Frank Lawnicki, Bloom's loose-hipped half- back, was the nemesis of the rival wingman, by virtue of his sweeping end runs. Playing the safety man on defense, he kept Bloom at constant advantage by his lengthy return of punts. Lawnicki possessed great speed, and kept his head when in tight situations. Because of his fleetness of foot, Lawnicki was a constant target for Goncher's passes. In the games with Lake View and Parker, this versatile backis work kept the Sarffmen in the runningg and in the Kankakee - fracas he scored the tying touchdown. He is . ineligible next fall. LEISENFELT Somewhat handicapped by i-nexperience, Liesenfelt used his height and speed to a good advantage at the right wing position. Reach- ing the peak of his form in the second game with Thornton, he played a big part in hold- ing the Thorntonites in check. In the other games Leisenfelt continued trying, no mat- h ' ter what the odds. He is a senior. Lmenfd, Iawnivki Page 79 LAKE VIEW GAME Bloom successfully opened the 1930 grid season by eking out a seven to six Win over Lake View of Chicago. The visitors were the first to score but missed the try for point. Coming back strong, in the final quarter, the Sarffmen advanced the ball within striking distance, here Goncher plunged the remaining distance for a touchdown. On a fake kick, Leonard shot a pass to Goncher for the winning point. BLOGM AT URBANA Bloom found Urbana too strong for them and succumbed, twenty to six. A re- covered fumble was turned into a touchdown for the Sarffmen in the opening quarter, but Urbana came back strong in the second period and shoved a pair of markers across. A sixty-five yard run, i-n the final heat, completed the scoring. Intense cold and snow flurrjes prevailed throughout the game. LUX Coming to Bloom with a year's experience at St. Viators, Oliver Lux showed foot- ball ability, but was a bit slow in adapting himself to a new system of play. However, he has another year and should be one of the best linemen of the 1931 season. LOGAN Kept on the sidelines by ineligibility in the early part of the season, Raymond Logan proved finally to be a lineman of no little ability, and kept the regulars on their toes at all times. He will return next year. PURCELL Should Ed Purcell continue to improve his grid technique in 1931 as he has this past season, Bloom will have one of the best tackles in the South Suburban.

Bloom was the only outfit in the South Suburban to defeat Calumet City, they held the powerful Thornton eleven to a tie, and outplayed Kankakee. After the season got under way, Coach Sarff, with the aid of his assistants, McCann, Coburn, and Gonzales concentrated on developing the lower classmen for 1931, and many of them won laurels in this seasonis encounters. SIRIANI One of the hardest workers on the squad was John Siriani, reserve lineman, who by stout adherence to the fundamentals of the 1,1-L game entered the realm of lettermen. His at- f -' s titude, while in action, was dogged and deter- mined. Siriani is a senior. BIELAUSKAS Anthony Bielauskas began the season as a halfbackg later he shifted to center, but finally returned to his first place, the backfield. Al- though not brilliant, Hooclfs play was steady and unshaken. Birlauskas Siriani Page 81 PIEPENBRINK Stretch,' Piepenbrink was the key man of the outfit. The lanky pivot's brilliant floor work in the district tourney was the main reason for Bloom's victory. Stretch sank his baskets from mid-floor almost as easily as he did from underneath the hoop. SPAK One of the most promising of this year's crop of freshmen was Joe Spak, a guard. Joe handled himself like a neat basketball player, never making an awkward move. SWANSON Piling up one hundred sixty-four points, Hale Swanson paved the way for a majority of his team's victories. The rangy guard tossed them in from all angles. His floor play and defensive work were on the same level as his scoring power. r GALIENE E An injury to his trick knee at the very beginning of the season sent Captain Mario Galiene to the hospital. This injury proved so serious that he was forced to see only a limited amount of action. Mud's absence was keenly felt.

DE GUILIO It isn't often that a freshman rates a regular position, but DeGuilio was an excep- tion. The lad showed excellent possibilities and should develop into a high-class per- former. OGIBOVIC ' Whenever he was Sent into action, john Ogibovic responded with a couple of baskets. In the second U. High game he crashed through with seven points. L VVILIKOUSKYH' Rudy Wilikousky, veteran guard and forward, was a valuable reserve man until his graduation in mid-year. The rookies benefited greatly by playing with a lad of his calibre. LEONARD Players as aggressive as Bud Leonard are seldom found. The speedy guard swarmed all over the court, breaking up oppon- ents' plays or stalling scoring plays. Bud', could sink one-hand shots from the starting corner, or drop in long ones. :lPicture not in.

This clever guard, while not a high-scorer, was an exceedingly valuable man to his team. He has the distinction of holding Wheeler, the leading scorer of the league, to a lone free throw. , COLE The mid-year graduation of Howie Cole was a severe blow to the McCann forces, for this extremely active guard had been the backbone of the team. His floor garne was most praiseworthy and his defensive work the main reason for a goodly number of victories. SIMONETTI After doing some brilliant work early in the season, Charley Simonetti succumbed to an attack of the flu whichslowed him up considerably. He has five more semesters of eligibility. ARONOWICZ Solly Aronowicz, the peppy forward and scoring ace, proved the most colorful player in the league. The ease with which he stole the ball away from the taller opponents was nothing short of astounding. Page 84 . Q-'f N.. ' f -M'-W -..W -...--...,.-W . p ffifx, ,f'hffeWr:1vqrr:S?

HEAVYWEIGHT BASKETBALL HIS season's heavyweights won the South Suburban title, successfully defended their district championship at Kankakee, and Went to the semi-finals in the Danville sectional tournament. The team got off to a rather poor start, losing to Momence, Lane Tech, St. Anne, and Thornton, while winning from University High and the Illinois Deaf. The Sarff- men gained momentum-defeating Blue Island, Kankakee, and Calumet City in suc- cession, but their winning streak was broken by Crown Point. Thornton defeated Bloom for the second time. The Blue and White won the second Crown Point game in an overtime session, and again whipped Blue Island, University High, and Kankakee. St. Anne defeated the Bloomites a second time, but the season was brought to a close with a victory over Calumet City in an overtime battle. At the Kankakee tourney, Bloom upset the dope by eking out a two-point victory over St. Anne on the opening night. The Sarffmen,s 27 to 20 win from Momence in the second round was another upset. In the semi-finals Chebanse was handed a 31 to 22 reverse, and in the finals Grant Park was trounced 41 to 11. Bloom slid to a one- point victory over Danville in the first game in the sectional but was trounced, 45 to 25, by Armstrong in the semi-final session. Piepenbrink, Swanson, Leonard, De Guilio, Logan, Spak, and Ogibovic will be back next year. With the addition' of Paul Pomrehn, who plans to return to school, Bloom should have another champion outfit. Page 8 6 f.

LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL HE fact that Coach H. W. M'Cann is nothing less than a basketball wizard makes Bloom's lightweight teams feared throughout the Suburban loop. However, per- forming miracles is out of his lineg so when influenza consistently mowed down his players, he had no magic wand that would bring forth first class performers to replace those on the sick-list. On the contrary, he was forced to insert green boys into the line-up and hope for the best. If such misfortunes had 'not befallen them, the Bloom ponies would have undoubtedly retained the South Suburban Championship-a title they relinquished for the first time since the formation of the league. The markmen began by beating Momence. They were held to a tie by U. High, and were beaten by the powerful Parker outfit. St. Anne and Thornton were taken into camp, but Blue Island caught the boys on an off night and trimmed them. At this point Bielskis, one of the team's steadiest workers, left school. A one point victory was gained at Kankakee, but with Aronowicz ill, Calumet City defeated the Bloomites. At the close of the first semester, Cole's graduation was offset somewhat by BroWn's return. Crown Point was trimmed, but with three regulars on the sidelines because of illness, the Thornton and University High tilts were lost, and Crown Point was beaten again. The three regulars returned, 'only to have Simonetti retire with a fever. Bloom won a brilliant victory over Blue Island, but dropped a 16 to 14 affair to Kankakee. St. Anne was trounced once more, and the season ended with a no-decision battle at Calumet City.

INTRA-MURAL CHAMPIONS OR THE second successive year a freshmen team fought their way to the Hnals of the advisory group tournament. However, history continued to repeat itself in-as- much as Miss Martin's juniors handed the frosh, who were members of Mr. Dyer's group, a 22 to 14 reverse. The all-'round play of joe Zaranka, coupled with the scoring of Alex Zagone, was too much for the first year men who built their attack around John Malizia, a likely looking lad, who should be a star in a few years. Mr. Hickman's group was again favored to cop the shield, but were upset in the third round by Mr. A. Wilson,s juniors. In the semi-Hnals Miss Martin's boys romped over Mr. Lare's representatives, 20 to S, while Mr. Dyeris squad were defeating Mr. Wilson,s troupe, 11 to 5. The official all-star tournament team consisted of the following: Malizia, Dyeris group, and Zagone, Miss Martin's group, forwards, Lithgow, Hickman's group, outer, L. Simon and oe Zaranka, both of Martin's rou , as uards. . 3 P S The tournament excited a great deal of interest among the students, large crowds thronging the galleries nightly. Mr. R. J. Briggs, who was in charge of the tourney, deserves much credit for his work. This is one of the few intra-mural sport events at Bloom, and the large number of boys who turned out for competition proves that this type of activity should be encouraged.

BASEBALL COACH M'CANN faces the task of building up a winning baseball team around four i veterans. A large number of candidates turned out, and from their number the most likely-looking were selected. The four lettermen are: Hale Swanson, Joe Spak, Art Piepenbrink, and John Goncher. Goncher, who played the outfield and served as a relief hurler last year, has been shifted behind the bat. Swanson is the chief moundsmen, but he has a promising assistant in Melvin R-ippe. Carl Mays may also develop into a first-class pitcher. Joe Spak, with an improved batting eye, is on the initial sackg at second, Waszcowicz, a rookie, seems the best, while De Guilio, a freshmen, is at short. Art Piepenbrink is at the hot corner and should continue his sensational play. At present Rollert, Di Caro, and Schmidt prove to be the best outfielders, but there are a number of lads who are pressing them hard. To date the Bloomites have defeated Lockport and University High.

TRACK J LTHOUGH last year's team was not a champion, according to Coach Nelson, they were always trying their best in every meet. The following men of last year's team-E. Sanders, P. Pomrehn, J. Larimer, M. Parker, Capt. G. Dawley - were lost through graduation or the ninth semester ruling. The power of the 1930 team is best shown in their performance at the tenth Suburban Meet at Stagg Field and at the Naperville Interscholastics at Naperville. M. Parker ran a wonderful mile and placed second, meantime Paul Pomrehn was high hurdler and warmed up for the high jump. Captain Dawley, running the half-mile in the fast time of 2:04-.9, set a new record for Naperville Interscholastic. In the second heat of halfmilers, John Larimer tied the record his teammate had just broken. Bloom placed third in a field of forty-Hve schools. This yearis team, having set back the Alumni, U. High, Blue Island and Calumet City so far, is in the best shape for the rest of the season. C. Hendricks, a sprint man, has held all competitive sprinters down, and S. Liesenfelt is showing ability in the hurdles and quarter mile, he can also do well in several other Held events. Red Leiteritz, W. Amos, J. Paris, George Yaseen, H. Simon, S. Liesenfelt, Hendricks, Bu- chanan, J. B. Hendron, Leonard, and Pitts, form the nucleus for -the senior team. Trait Cobb, who is the main cog among the juniors, totaled 28 points in the Blue Island meet. Nathaniel Foster, Meyers, Raymond, Johnson, Gasbarra, Cohen, Wright, Heyward, and Kaneen hold up the juniors' morale. Coach Nelson is planning to have Bloom well represented at the South Suburban meet and at the Naperville Interscholastics. Page 90 WRESTLING THE BLOOM grapplers started their wrestling immediately after the termination of the basketball season, everyday for a period of three weeks a group of twenty-five aspiring wrestlers under the direction of Coach C. M. Sarff went into practice. As the season advanced, several of the lads dropped out because of either scholastic standing or inadequate condition. Though the wrestling season was shorter than last year, the new material was molded into experienced wrestlers. To secure additional experience, Coach Sarif matched his men against Morton High School of Cicero, April 1. The blue and white grapplers succeeded in winning the meet by amassing a score of 29 to 3 points. The following week, April 10, Morton returned the match here, when Bloom again won by a total of 23 to S. This showing against the strong Cicero team encouraged Coach Sarff and his men to enter other wrestling events. The matmen entered the Sixth Annual Interscholastic Wrestling Tournament at the University of Chicago, April 3 and 4. Here the wrestling team placed fourth against such schools as Tilden, Crane, Lane, Harrison, Senn, Englewood, Cicero, Waukegan, Morton, Morgan Park, and Lindbloom. None of the Bloom grapplers succeeded in regis- tering championships. Tilden High School of Chicago won the tourney, capturing eight out of ten championships. John Goncher won second place in the championship division of the 155-pound class. Goncher beat Mondale of Crane, the runner-up in the Chicago Wrestling series, in his first match. He drefw a bye in the second match, and lost his last one in a tough battle to Carey, the champion of Tilden. Other Bloom matmen who placed in the tour- nament are: Charles Sheehy, 100-pounds, took third place in the championship class, August Conchetti, also 100 pounds, won second place in the consolation bracket, Mario Galiene managed to take fourth place in the 145-pound rank, and John Siriani won third place in the 16 S-pound championship division. The following deserve mention as mem- bers of the 1931 wrestling squad, and contestants of the University of Chicago tourna- ment: Bohan, Julien, Petrarca, Dolci, Fuller, Thompson, Philip, Dryda, Gregory, Vavrus, Friedlander, and Purcell. Much credit is due to these wrestlers for the progress made against the larger Chi- cago schools. Bloom was the smallest school to enter the wrestling tournament. Next year's squad will lose three consistent wrestlers-Goncher, Galiene, and Siriani. Hopes for a successful 1932 wrestling season, however, are bright. Page 91 SPRING SPORTS In The Spring A Young Man's Fancy-,' BLOSSOMS, birds, and May dances all have their part in the life of B-loom in the spring, but to some two hundred and fifty boys nature's awe-inspiring work is secondary to a varied program of sports. During the final months of the school year the athletic field is overflowing with youths knocking home runs on the ball diamond, while thinly clad trackmen sprint around the quarter mile oval, and panting aspirants for next fall's football team learn the fundamentals of forward passing, blocking, and punting. On the tennis courts the net men are wielding their rackets, and the intra-mural golfers are busy on the links twice a week. As we go to press, the track men have participated in four meets. .In the opener the seniors eked out a close victory over University High while the juniors were beaten soundly. Nelson,s lads won 'a double victory over Blue Island on May 2, but a week later the Calumet City juniors managed a point victory while the Calumet seniors fell easy victims. In a quadrangular night meet at Kankakee, Bloom took second place-losing to their hosts while beating Watseka and Onargo. Hale SWanson's one hit pitching victory over University High has been the high light of the baseball season. Bloom inaugurated its schedule with a seven to three victory at Lockport, with Swanson pitching. This was followed by an eleven to four win over University High, with Rippe on the mound. The Bloom infield and pitching staff went to pieces against Thornton, and the Purple walked off with an easy victory. A week of rain caused the postponement of two games, and on May 12, Swanson turned in his one hit performance. A few days later, with Rippe hurling, M'Cann's lads took an eiglht to three decision from Lemont. Goncher's home run was the feature. Mr. C. T. C'assady's tennis proteges have indulged in matches with Joliet and Thorn- tong while their inexperience has handicapped them considerably, it has been indicated that Bloom will be restored to a position of importance on the courts next year. Mr. G. A. Wilson has sponsored a number of intra-mural golf tournaments, and an enthusi- astic number of boys have participated. Thus, we see that youth fails to spend the spring months as the poets would have us believe they do. Youth's emotions are much more in evidence on the field of honor than they are on the dance floor or porch swing. At this writing, there are two hundred fifty reasons why B-loom leads the South Suburban in a majority of the sports sponsored by that organization.

WAGNER LORETTAa GIIQLS' ATHLETICS Davis Miss Veazey Wanda Zantera Ruby Davis Sponsor Vice-President Treasurer G. A. A. THE G. A. A. has just completed its last successful year in the old Bloom building. .Although conditions were crowded and the organization encountered many diificulties, it weathered them successfully. ' It is through the earnest efforts of the G. A. A. that class spirit is aroused in tour- naments. A volley ball, a basketball, a tennis, and an archery tournament occurs each yearg a trophy is offered to the winning team or the individual champion. ' The business of the G. A. A. is conducted by the athletic coach,.Miss Leila Veazey, and four capable and energetic oHicers, elected annually by the members of the organi- zation. Aside from directing athletic events, the club sponsors G. A. A. parties, which are held in the gymnasium. As a reward to all girl basketeers during the past years, Miss Young prepares at the close of each basketball season an excellent dinner served by the cooking classes in the school dining room. Eight years have passed since the G. A. A. was organized. It has since worked its way into the interests of feminine Bloomites, and has resulted in the advancement of girls' sports in this school. Page 94 ARCHERY LTHOUGH archery is a game of only three years' standing at Bloom, much enthu- siasm has already developed among the amateur William Tells. A tournament was held early in the school year in which any junior or senior girl was eligible to enter. After many hikes out to the Bloom athletic Held where they practiced in hitting the bull,s eye, the tourney came to a climax. Awards were given to the champion archers of each class. Two beautiful cups were given: one to Luvurne Davis, a senior, and the other to Wanda Zentera, a junior. Mary McAvoy and Leah Keltz, seniors, and Erna Schweer, Ernestine Gregory, Helen Stockinger, and Sylvia Cheskis, juniors, earned medals for their efforts. Almost fifty girls, members of physical education classes, learned the art of stringing the bows and shooting arrows. Next season a new group of girls, the sophomores, will compete in the tourney with this years juniors. Page 95 VOLLEY SENIORN SO FRE.-SH MAN - A BALL OMOI3-XE. '- A ,, , . A VOLLEY BALL . EVERY player was in position, each tense of muscle, alert of mind, as the whistle sounded and the annual volley ball tournament was on! The spectators leaned far over the balcony, yelling and cheering their teams. The volley ball was batted back and forth over the net until the winning team scored its place. Several exciting games had been played during this tourney, that drew the interest and support of loyal fans. The freshmen, although experiencing their first volley ball tournament, did well and accomplished more with each game they played. The sopho- mores had an exceptionally strong team, and exhibited some fine training while in action. Defeated in the championship game of the season, the junior squad showed team work and proved themselves good sports. The senior champions outplayed all the other teams and were awarded the volley ball trophy. Although the seniors have exhibited team-work and determination throughout their volley ball career, this is the first year they have excelled at the net.

SENIOR CHAMPS HE OUTCOME of the annual basketball tournament this season was exceptionally different in comparison to previous years. The fact that the teams were all so evenly matched resulted in three teams tying for first place: the seniors, juniors, and sopho- mores., To determine the real champs, an elimination tournament was played which ended in a victory for the seniors, and the juniors qualified for second place. The elimi- nation tourney proved most exciting, and many interested mothers and friends of the girl basketeers attended it. Arrayed in their own color schemes, rival teams easily distinguished themselves from one another as they dashed wildly across the floor, sometimes passing and sometimes drib- bling the ball. In recent years, the girls have not tried their ability at dribbling, but this season almost every player attempted this new fashion in working out plays. At the annual banquet served by Miss Young and her advanced cooking class, the girls met for the last time as basketeers of Bloom, and added the finishing touches to the basketball season by enjoying a delicious dinner. After dinner, the girls continued their get-together with dancing. Besides sponsoring the class tournament, the G. A. A. this year sponsored a girls, advisory tourney. This new event for the girls gave all those interested in the sport an opportunity to indulge in the game, though they had not been successful in making their respective class teams.

The spring weather stimulates the girls to rummage through their clothes-closets and secret hiding places in search of their tennis rackets, shoes, and sport clothes. Every hour of the day, from early morning until sunset, the four courts are in constant use. The G. A. A. sponsors an annual spring tournament in which any girl is privileged to enter. A medal is awarded to the champion of each class, the class champions in turn play for the school championship. Few freshmen girls upon entering Bloom are acquainted with the rules and regula- tions of tennis. To overcome this fact, Miss Veazey instructs the girls during their gym class work, and several junior and senior girls offer their assistance in coaching the girls which aids Miss Veazey considerably. The girls take a fancy to tennis and much competition has been exhibited during the past year. Each girl strives earnestly, increasing the force behind her serves and returns, to outplay her rival in friendly challenges as well as in games during the tourna- ment in which medals are awarded the winners. In the junior and senior girls' gymnasium class, the girls have been divided into various tennis groups-each having their designated day to Play tennis. The class winners of last season's tourney were Luvurne Davis, Doris Hansen, Mary Walter and Gladys Hocking. Although having remarkable talent, these class champs were unable to compete for the school championship because of lack of time. Page 100 Bark Row-W. Zentera, L. Davis, L. Keltz, M. McAvoy, A.

CLUB v GIRLS who work diligently in athletics and succeed in earning seven hundred fifty points during their athletic career are rewarded by a B. T. H. S. There are various ways of earning points for this emblem. If a girl is skillful enough to make a volley ball or basketball team, she is awarded one hundred points. Additional points are given in tennis, archery, baseball, and for extra good grades in gymnasium. This plan of awarding emblems to the girls has boosted athletics in Bloom. 1000-POINT GOLD MEDAL Being awarded a B. T. H. S. is not the highest distinction the girl athlete may achieve. If she is exceedingly proficient, she is awarded a gold medal, this medal is usually a senior year achievement.

The faithful serv- ice rendered by these departments made the administration of 1930-31 a most successful one. The Lost and Found Department handled hundreds of articles, each of which was listed and deposited in a locker for safe keeping. After any loser gave a satisfactory description of his article, it was returned to him. The Lost and Found Department was open, for the benefit of the students, 8:10-8:20 A. M., 1:00-1:10 noon, and 3:20-4:00 P. M. This year the number of unclaimed articles was smaller than in previous years. The several hundred firemen, with their chief, performed a diligent service in train- ing the students of Bloom against ire hazards. Fire drills were held regularly, and the t. f . . . imc necessary or the twelve hundred students to clear the building decreased with the number of drills. The chief of police and his appointed hall guards never relin uished th ' ' 'l f 1 q eir vigi o students passing through the halls during class hours. Splendid coiiperation on the part f o pupils, faculty, and guards made the operation of the police system very effective. Another branch of service under the student government of Bloom is the second hand book store. This department sold used books of all kinds to students at the begin- nin f h ' g o eac semester, and returned to the owners the money collected. This depart- ment aids students wishing to purchase books at reduced prices. Each of these departments has a distinctive work' to promote honesty amon the 3 8 students, to train against the dangers of fire, to keep order in the halls during class periods, and to teach economy in the purchase of books. The successful operation of each department added to the efficiency of the student government during the past school term.

BLOOM COUNCIL LGOM is one of the few schools in this vicinity that has a student self-government in form of the City of Bloom Council. Her constitution, which she prizes very highly, is patterned after that of any well regulated city in the state of Illinois. A mayor, a clerk, a treasurer, and thirty voting councilmen comprise the elective oihcersg the appointed oihcials include the mayor's cabinet of ten persons, forty hall guards, sixteen monitors, and ninety-six Bremen. It is the duty of the City of Bloom to back all activities undertaken by the school. This year she sponsored fourteen pep meetings for football and basketball games, and also supported by wide spread advertising, the band concert. In March the council secured, as assembly speaker, Captain Dennis Rooke, member of the Royal Flying Corps during the World War. On account of the crowded condition at Bloom. it was neces- sary to give two programs. In glancing over the minutes of the meetings, one finds that the council sponsored several social hours, one charity social, and a Christmas party. The following repre- sents other activities that the council supported: Hfteen baskets were distributed to the poor at Christmas time under the guidance of the City of Bloom, the Intramural Basket- ball Tournament was staged under the sponsorship of the City of Bloom, and several interior and exterior inspections were made to check on the tidiness of the lockers. These, together with many other minor activities, constituted the work of the City of Bloom this year. Service pins were awarded all city ofhcials, hall guards, and monitors on March 3, 1931, in recognition of their work.

HALL GUARDS INCE its establishment seven years ago, the Hall Guard system as an institution of the City of Bloom has grown in importance every year. Today it is the most im- portant factor in student government at Bloom. There are five guards for each hour of the school day, making a total of forty. It is the duty of these guards to assist pupils about school, and to keep the halls clear of stragglers. If a student is found loitering in or passing through the halls between classes, he is presented with a green slipf' and sent to the ofhce where he must meet the punish- ment due such misdemeanors. This system adds to the discipline and decorum of the school, and is also valuable in that it advances the Bloom principles of student govern- ment. Separate hall guard forces were appointed by the chief of police for each semester this year. On the advice of Mr. Dyer and Miss Smith, sponsors of the student council, a scholastic requirement was added to the previous qualifications for guard positions. This new ruling was put into effect in the second semester appointments. Still another principle was inaugurated this year, all advisers were given the privilege of recommend- ing reliable advisees, whose names were submitted to the committee. Appointments were very carefully made by the chief of police, and checked and approved by a faculty committee. An efficient police department was the result. The system worked effectively during the entire school year. Page 105 R R b l D Palma Dorothy Rorabeck Luvurne Davis Harriet Kruse, Ellen Vercluin.

HONOR SCCIETY HE Bloom chapter of the National Honor Society faithfully upheld the high ideals and standards of the society during the school year of 1930-31. Although it was slightly smaller in its membership than last year's chapter, each member strove to make the organization a successful one. A high scholarship standard of 907k for the four years in school and a part in the extra-curricular activities of Bloom made a student eligible for membership in Bloom's only national organization. Service to the school, . 1 . . Q . f leadership, and lofty ideals of character are other factors considered in th, election o members. Not more than ISC? of any senior class may be elected to the National Honor Societyg three elections may be held to choose this quota. Conforming to the require- ' r members were elected in September from the upper sk of ments of the society, four the class. In the mid-year election six more students were selected by the faculty com- mittee, while a third election may be held in June to admit those students who have attained the requirements for election during the school year. The National Honor Society has promoted an ever-increasing interest throughout the student body in scholarship, service, and characterg and membership in the society is sought by ambitious pupils. A simple but effective ceremo-ny of induction was conducted before the student council, honor students, faculty, and frcshme-n for those members selected in February. A lack of seating space prevented the installation from being held before the entire school. The Parent-Teachers' Association takes a great interest in the National Society, each year presenting each member with the pin of the society-a keystone with the tome of knowledge on it.

' GIRLS' CLUB HE Girls' Club of Bloom is an adventure in friendship. The ideal of the Club is that of comradeship among the girls of Bloom and loyalty to the school. All the projects and social activities of the club center around this ideal. Early i-n the year the Big Sisters gave a warm welcome to the freshman girls, and helped them grasp the ideals of Bloom. One of the happy experiences in this adventure in friendship was the Freshman Walk, now an established custom. A jolly episode in the experiences of the yearl was that of presenting the play, The Knave of Hearts, before the assembly. This made possible the Christmas venture. The girls of the club undertook to spread the Christmas spirit to the Community Center, Oak Forest, the hospital, and several homes. Their gifts of dolls and toys brought good cheer to many children and, in turn, brought happiness and inspiration to the donors and widened the circle of friends. On March 14, the members of the club were brought into friendly contact with girls of fifteen other suburban schools through the event of the fifth annual Girls' Con- ference held at the Woman's Club in Chicago. Not only did this enlarge Bloom's circle of friends, but it also brought many new ideas for club work and much inspira- tion from worthwhile speakers. A new undertaking of the girls of Bloom, and perhaps the most far-reaching of all, is the Red Cross work, this acts as a messenger of friendship to far distant circles, even to other nations. In planning the social activities for the girls, the club aims to have as varied a program as possible. This program has included girls' assemblies and the following parties: October 3, an All-girls' Party with the new girls as guests. December 19, the Christmas Party which was planned in connection with the council. April, a Tea Party with guests from other schools. May, Senior girls and their mothers, entertained by the Sophomore girls. May, an All-girls' Party.

THE LIBRARY CLUB LOOM is the only school in this area whose library work seems sufficiently important to organize a club. The librarian conducts weekly elementary library technique classes for the assistants, who are of senior grade. Notes are taken from her lectures on library work and are organized into regular note-books, these are illustrated by various library cards and book-sections which are made according to her instructions. An article concerning our unique Library Club, published in the Library Journal, brought a request from the New York University for a specimen note-book. A copy from one of last yearis class was sent and favorably commented upon. Articles appear- ing in the same publication about Bloom's method of handling reference and book report work brought a response from points as far off as Eldorado, Kansas, and Newark, New Jersey. These prove that Bloom's library is shedding some light abroad. The student assistant invariably grows so fond of books that she desires to keep one with her always, so she wears, as her proud possession, a small silver pin moulded in the shape of a book, with B. L. Cf' and the year engraved upon it. Serious-minded students seek refuge from the bustle of Bloom in this haven of knowledge where silence is the watchword. This book-lined laboratory fwindow sills as well as seven-tiered shelvesj proves to be one of the most important rooms in the building, for all major subjects require the greater part of their preparation here. The doors of Bloom's library are open from seven-thirty until five-thirty. During these eleven hours the librarians and club members willingly assist pupils in gathering information on any subject, and daily, approximately seven hundred pupils use the many and varied reference books.

KODAK CLUB U ECESSITY is the mother of invention, an old time maxim, can be applied to the work of Bloom's Kodak Club. The need for such a helpful organization was recognized by the Bloom Staff early this year, since heretofore no definite method had been followed to secure scenes representing school life and activities. In previous years, pictures for che Bloom Annual had been taken by anyone with a camera and an idea for a picture of school life, consequently, the snaps for the book were often late and showed hap-hazard results. This year, Mr. Gonzales, one of the physics instructors who had previously interested some in picture-taking, organized a group and set up various standards. In order to join the ranks of snappcrs, a scholastic record of CU or more must have been attained during the preceding semester, otherwise students could not devote their time to developing and finishing pictures. After completing at least two accept- able Hlms or fulfilling an equivalent task in kodak work, the student was considered a member. At the beginning of the school year, the club became a more cooperative group. Officers were elected, and a constitution drawn up. At mid-year the club was reor- ganized with a new president and a more definite program of work. As a result of this new arrangement, interest increased and new members were added. In order to encourage the members to snap scenes depicting school life and its activities, Mr. Gonzales, and Miss Ash, faculty supervisor of the art department, offered a prize to the one who had taken the most poses used for the annual. Looking forward to this reward, the students showed a more lively interest and brought about a better kodak section.

THE BLOOM AUBUDON CLUB HE Audubon Bird Club, one of the newer organizations of Bloom, was the result of the enthusiasm for bird study created by the members of the Zoology Class of 1929. Joe Davis, the first president, had been a careful observer of birds, interested in bird-banding and keeping scientific government data of bird migrations. Under his com- petent leadership the club completed its first year of work. The second year's work was begun by President Walter Fuller, another enthusiastic bird student. At mid-year, Merrill Sweet, also a thorough student of bird-life, was elected president and has directed a contest, recording the observations, habits, and migra- tions of birds. At their bi-monthly meetings, the members report the results of their own and group observations, they learn by picture and discription to recognize new birds when in the field. This year the club has made a study of birds' nests, houses, and feeding stations, and the winter visitants that come to us from the North to spend the winter and return north again with the advance of spring. The members became familiar with our permanent bird residents, so that by the time spring migration from the South began, they were ready to study new arrivals as they appeared. Bloom's Club is a division of the National Audubon Society, to which the mem- bers pay their dues. In return they receive six illustrated bird leaflets, the Audubon Club pen, and the magazine, Bird Lore. Miss Haviland, the sponsor, has already proved herself to be a most efficient adviser. Under her capable leadership the club, with its membership of fifty bird-lovers, has had a most successful year.

TRAVEL CLUB RAVEL! This six-letter word, suggesting beautiful vistas and far-reaching trails, attracted many when Miss Norman issued a call for travelers Two-thirds of these resigtered as members and have remained loyal and steadfast, thus they helped to establish a newly organized group into a permanent club at Bloom. The club was organized for the purpose of giving the students an opportunity to travel in imagination with the leader, who reported his travel experiences. One of the requirements for membership demands that each student give a talk on some trip he has taken, or on some book of travel he has read. Every Thursday immediately after the eighth hour, eager students hurry to Room 52. The last meeting in the month is devoted to showing pictures of different parts of the United States. Edwin Schmidt, of the physics department, directs the picture machine with success. Other spicy features of the club program consist of travelogues by teachers. To the west, the north, the east, and the south of our country, as well as to Europe, have roamed in fancy these earnest travelers, they caught glimpses of the Grand Canyon, the District of Columbia, Yellowstone National Park, Mexico, England, and last but not least-Paris! Some very realistic pictures of English life were reported by Renata Pfeil, who gave excerpts of letters from an English girl. A friendship has developed between these two girls as a result of Renata's applying to a magazine for a foreign correspondent. Miss Norman's organization of the Travel Club ties up and adds zest to the class work-history.

NOTE: Dorothy DcBolt, Business Editor, was absent when picture was taken. THE BROADCASTER HERE can I subscribe for the Broadcaster? is the prevailing question of new- comers in Bloom. I am sending my subscription for next year's Broadcasterf, write many seniors as they leave Bloom to go to distant colleges or to enter other activities. The Broadcaster is truly the tie that binds all Bloomites together, since in its pages are found the latest and most worthwhile news, some of the best literary productions, and sparkling classroom humor. This paper, a bi-weekly, published by the journalism classes under the guidance of Miss Way, faculty adviser, is becoming a necessary organ for Bloomitesg since a newspaper is the only way of keeping the school closely related, now that the crowded conditions do not permit general assemblies of any kind. The staff was unusually small the first semester, as a large percentage went out with the 1930 graduating classg but the few worked diligently, and each member was forced to cover a large quota of a department. The second semester brought to the staff a force of ardent young journalism As, who combined their efforts with the old troopers, and made the Broadcaster a good representative paper of Bloom. The Broadcaster is a member of three greater organizations in the journalistic field. To the monthly meeting of the Greater Chicago Press Guild, an organization of the publications of Chicago and suburban schools, the staff has sent delegates who gleaned inspiration for their paper. The Broadcaster also is a member of the Illinois State High School Press Association. The editors and the business managers of both publica- tions went as delegates to the state convention. Here again the Broadcaster received a certificate of Distinguished Rating. As a member of the National High School Press Association, the Broadcaster has been entered i-n the National contestg and the criti- cisms and scoring of competent judges will be recorded in a score book to aid future workers.

BROADCASTER ASSISTANTS T THE beginning of each semester the Broadcaster issues a call for reporters, and from the various English classes a corps of workers eagerly responds to the sum- mons. The reporters are chosen from the freshman, sophomore, and junior divisions, to aid the staff, and also to become acquainted with the journalistic department. Here, as Cubs, they are fired with the zeal and enthusiasm that leads them to continue work in the regular journalism course. Though reporters are not permitted to hold responsible staff positions, they do contribute many interesting items of news. When no special assignments are given, these reporters hand in clever bits of literary work and interesting little poems. Those reporters of the first semester swelled the Journalism A class of the second term, for at least one-fourth of this class had been on the repor- ters' staff and had contributed school news for every issue. None the less important are those commercial students who so freely give their services as typists some time each week. This work gives excellent training, as the typists must read the copy intelligently and recognize any mistakes. Their fine work enables the staff to rush the composition material to the printer on time. Copy boys, though they receive no scholastic credit, are equally important to the efhcient working of the Broadcaster. These boys willingly give their services and use their cars at any vacant period to hurry the material to the print shop, and bring back the needed galley for the proof-readers. Without any one of these groups, the Broadcaster could not liveg they are truly valuable assistants.

THE BLOOM N AN old so-ng of the Sigurd the Volsung we find these words, They gave them speech and power, and they gave them color and breath. To me this seems pecu- liarly descriptive of Bloom's faithful staff. The Bloom is essentially like to a bouquet of memories we would cherish through the long years, and to the staff is given the joy of expressing those memories in words of power, and imbuing them with color and fragrance in the remembering which makes them fresh and vital always. The candidates for the staff board were recommendations of the English department and other faculty members. The two receiving the highest number of votes became editor and business manager, while the runners-up were given the positions of associates. In November the staff, consisting of a Senior and Junior Editor, the advertisers, and those responsible for the club write ups, were appointed. Students displaying talent and the necessary qualifications for staff work were selected. The task of writing up an organization was given to one who was closely associated with the club. In February, active work on the Bloom began. Since the written material this year kept pace with the activity, no definite dead lines were set. This year the valuable assistance of the Kodak Club made it possible for the staff members to devote all of their time to their respective interests. Others not included on the staff, but who assisted in the task of putting out the annual, were the typists whose free periods were devoted to preparing copy for the printer. The art students' majestic viking ships carry us dreaming across the rolling green waters into a land of thrilling adventures. In spite of all these Bloomites who faithfully gave their services, the 1931 Annual would have been greatly handicapped had it not been for the business men of the com- munity who so freely contributed advertisements.

THE GIRLS GLEE CLUB ETAINING its popularity as each succeeding year passes, the Girls Glee Club has now become one of the most enjoyable organizations at Bloom. Admittance is by tryout, and consequently there is always a period of tense interest preceding the posting of the fortunate members. Through the efforts of Miss Bliss, the thirty-six girls who entered the club in Sep- tember have been successfully organized into a harmonious chorus. Many of the girls met twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, during the Hrst semester, but the second term the regular program of meeting every Tuesday was followed. In a combined program with the orchestra, the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs made their initial bow to the public in October. The girls sang The Morning Has Wings,', Three Little Stars, and A Dream Boat Passes By. At Christmas time the glee clubs passed quietly through the halls of Bloom and sang Christmas carols. Upo-n request they later sang to the patients of the St. James hospital. The joy of being able to bestow a bit of Christmas cheer upon these unfortunates was ample reward for the singers. After entertaining the Washington School with these merry old songs, the clubs went down to the city hall and sang around the huge community Christmas tree.

BOYS GLEE CLUB HHN Miss Bliss first organized the Boys Glee Club this year, she found that she - had but seven of last year's regular members to serve as pillars in the organization. Regular practice began September 20, and the sixteen boys were soon harmonizing several charming numbers in preparation for their Hrst public appearance. Throughout the school-year the Boys Glee Club was called upon by various associations to add zest and variety to their programs. At the end of the Hrst semester, three vacancies occurred. due to graduation, or program changes, tryouts were thus necessary to replace these members, and Sam Beebe, Constantine Lisciani, and John Philip were substituted for Russell Lamb, Armand Poe, and Charles Kappmeyer. The club Hrst appeared at the annual orchestra concert given on November 25. Three delightful numbers, Little Boy Bluef' One, Two, Three, Four, and Lullaby Moonf' brought a hearty applause from an appreciative audience. Both glee clubs made the Christmas carol practices the feature of earnest class Work for several weeks. On Friday preceding the Christmas holidays the boys and girls clubs combined to spread cheer about Bloom and Chicago Heights with their caroling. The glee club again cooperated to prepare a charming Cantata, entitled Spring Cometh. It was presented to the student body on April 8, and repeated at the Lincoln-Dixie Theatre about two weeks later. The same cantata was again given in the Wfashington School Auditorium during Music week in May. This year's social function-a banquet-occurred March 31. Between courses, everyone present joined in singing popular songs. A few short after dinner speeches were made by some of the guests.

Since Mr. Coe, the enthusiastic director, believes in early training in ensemble, he persuaded a number of freshmen to join. This has helped to enlarge the orchestra and has added new instruments, such as the bassoon and viola. Much improvement of the orchestra is due to the fact that it has been rehearsing the Hfth period every day. There have been four full orchstra rehearsals and one sec- tional rehearsal a week. Every member was given an opportunity to attend the Thursday afternoon Young People's Concert at Orchestra Hall by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. These con- certs proved very instructive to the students, since the music is lirst explained, and then interpreted by artist players. A new era in the history of the orchestra began when the organization sent Emily Ohlendorf, a talented violoncellist, to the All State and the North Central High School Orchestra contests. These meetings inspire the members to continue lessons and give time to home practice. In November the orchestra gave its annual fall concert. Besides the orchestral selections, this program included numbers by the Boys and Girls Glee Clubsg and two solos, one by Miss Charlotte Wagace, violinist, and the other by Emily Ohlendorf, celliste. At the spring concert on April twenty-fourth, Mr. Farrar, a Chicago flutist, appeared as soloist. Bloom's thirty-Hve piece orchestra played on the following occasions: The Three One-Act Plays. Pep Meetings. National Music Week. Senior Class Play. Commencement Exercises. Page 119 Page 120 I1 i'Ta JE -is H f-45 G U... 2 22 Si Shu 2 'Si Ga E 2 ,S .

Crumb THE BLOOM BAND ORTY hopeful young musicians might have been seen every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, rushing eagerly from the main building across the street to the Swedish Baptist Church to meet with Mr. Crumb for band rehearsals. With one more rehearsal a week this year than in 1929, the band showed marked improvement. Many interested members at public performances have remarked-as did Director Harold Bachmann, of the Million-Dollar Band, I wouldn't know it was the same band! The band added to its repertoire many popular college marches, which were played at pep-meetings and football games. Individual players also showed marked progress over their performances of last year. Several won honorable rating at the Northeastern Illinois Band Contestg Willmer Irwin, Charles Kappmeyer, and Harry Maxwell qualified to enter the State Band Con- test. A saxophone quartet consisting of Orval Morton, John Hinckley, Harry Maxwell and Donald Herman competed at Tulsa, Oklahoma, on May 21-25 at the National Band Contest, where they took second place.

THE BLGOM MUSICALE HE Bloom Musicale, one of our newest musical organizations, has proved itself to be a promoter of musical education and a creator of enoyable entertainment for all of its fortunate members. The club members consist of two groups-active a-nd associate. The active members, numbering twenty-six, include stude-nts who were judged in the semi-annual tryouts to be talented as soloists. Each active member ITLUSE appear on a program at least once during a semester. Everyone is given a two weeks' notice of his appearance, a fine is imposed if he fails to appear, and after three consecutive absences, he is dropped from the roll. The associate members, numbering thirty, constitute an appreciative audience. Signing up is the only requirement for one to become an associate member, but he fully appreciates the enjoyment and benefit granted him. The Bloom Musicale holds its meetings on every other Tuesday, from 3:20 to 4:00 o'clock in the auditorium. Only members or invited guests are permitted to attend. A program committee, consisting of three members chosen by the president, makes up the programs for two consecutive meetings and notifies the performers of the date of their appearance. A music critic is appointed at each meeting, this person gives criticisms and helpful suggestions at the close of the programs. In addition to vocal solos, various instrumental numbers are given: piano, violin, violin-cello, Cornet, clarinet, saxaphone, flute, ukelele, Xylophone, and even the pipe-organ. The Bloom Musicale creates in students the desire to strive for a broader knowledge of music, and aids in giving the performers poise and confidence before an audience. As a climax, Miss Bliss, who is the musical director, and who is sponsoring the Bloom Musicale, plans to give a full program of very delightful numbers before the entire student body.

From those responding, fourteen new members were selected. Meeting with Miss Renn, three days a week, the members combined club and class work. Two of the three days were devoted to the study of the fundamentals of play production-lighting, scenery, make-up, costumes, voice, and posture. On the third day the members took parts in various plays. Under Miss Reninls direction four mem- bers gave a skit, And They Went to the Game, at the pep program for the Bloom- Thornton game. Another, a playlette, Pierrot and Pierrettef, was presented for the first P. T. A. meeting. The Christmas play, One Gift Above Another, was enacted three times-before two assemblies and the night school. The story portrayed the change in the character of a wealthy girl, who, when she visited a humble home where the real Christmas spirit prevailed, gave up her selfish habits. At mid-year the club lost its director, Miss Renn, who had been teaching at Bloom since 1928. Miss Adele Mernitz, the new director, reorganized the club. An extra try-out increased the enrollment from fourteen to twenty-six. The members elected their officers, and planned a unique initiation for the new members, these initiates were obliged to wear masks while attending a social, and were not permitted to speak during that time. U-nder the sponsorship of Miss Mernitz the members presented their most important club productions-the three one-act plays consisting of three types-a comedy, a farce, and a drama. Page 124 BLOOM MASQUE PROJECT JEACH year the club undertakes special project work-carried on entirely by the ' members. This year the project was a one-act play tournament. The club was divided into five groups, each of which selected one of their number to act as director. Each group then selected a one-act play, and worked on it for a finished presentation, May 14th and 15th. The Same Old Thing by Roi Cooper Megrue Edna Richey, director ..,...,......,,.. .,......

The play centers about Ambrose Applejohn, who is so bored with his commonplace life that he advertises his lovely house on the seacoast for sale, and decides to go in search of 'adventureg he gets it - but right in his own home. A supposedly cele- brated Russian dancer rushes to him with the tale that she is being pursued for the jewels she has with her. She pleads for a safe hiding place for the precious gems, and in this way learns of a secret cabinet in which is a parchment telling of the hidden treasure which she is after. Ambrose sits up all night to guard the house from prowling burglars, only to fall asleep a-nd dream he is a bold buccaneer. When he finally awakes, he realizes that he has a band of treasure-seeking crooks to deal with. The play ends well for allg Ambrose has realized that he loves his ward, Poppy Faire, who has silently loved and admired him all along. Miss Young, se-nior class sponsor, took complete charge of the business management of the play. CAST ' Lush, the butler. . . .,....... ...,... G eorge Adair Poppy Faire ..,..,. ...,.. ,...

The story centers around an old tradition in the Kingdom of Hearts that all queens must be good cooks. The pompous King Pompdebile chooses a charming princess who cannot cook. What would have proved a tragedy for the princess was averted by the Knaye of Hearts who substituted his wifeis famous tarts.

From place to place, among the lowly and the great, they wandered, singing their songs and relating their tales. Thus these saga men kept the fine old traditions in the minds of the people. As did the minstrel, so the Bloom would hallow for you some fragments of our thought, beautifully fashioned, and so expressed, that it may hold the mind in perfect mood of prec- ious memory.

Sea Charms These have had untold charm for me: The heavy boom of roaring, rolling surf on distant islands, Rimmed with bleached sand, coral atolls Jeweling a sun-silkened sea of turquoise. Curved sails, greyed by rain and salt. Great ships, And the tarry reek that hovers in their holds. The sight of an old ship with leaning masts Raking scuds of clouds across the sky. The sound of loud-complaining spars and blocks Straining under the burden of strong wind That sings softly in the tired shrouds. The bitter tang of salt spume, That blows up from the tops of blue waves And the foam cut into white folds under a long ship's bows. WILLIAM MCKNIGHT. World Sickness I wish I could feel the swell again, Of the running, heaving tideg I wish I could hear the wind again, And the sea-gulls as they glide. I'm hungry for the sight again Of sails and clouds and foam, I want to go down to the deep again, And make the sea my home. I'm weary of men on the beaten path, Whose destiny is the graveg I cannot see how a man can live When he's nothing but a slave. Fm sick of the sight of all these beasts- Their ambition and pride and gear, I'm tiring of men of the striving horde Who know not their purpose here. That's why I yearn for the blue again- I know the men who are there, That's why I want to go back again To the waves and the salt sea-air. WILLIAM MCKNIGHT. Page 131 March Comes To Chicago I drew my slicker more tightly about me as a sharp March wind stung my face and legs, and continued to walk briskly towards Lake Michigan. March, with its expected heralds of rain, wind, and fog, may seem insanely variable to some people, but on that late afternoon it held a peculiar, mysterious charm for me. I sat down on a huge rock while the wind mockingly whistled about me. The evening was bleak, dreary, and seemingly hushed in spite of the rolling, tumbling waves. The funereal chime of a clock in the tower of a nearby skyscraper added a certain mournfulness to the atmosphere. ' The very stillness of the dense, foreboding fog that hung over the water brought solace to my pensive mood. I looked down at the swirling waters, what a contrast, I mused, to the waters that reflect the glorified splendor of the moon on a starry summer night. Now they were dark, greenish gray with wrath. The waves lashed the rocks and sand in vengeance and rage. On and on they rolled-slashing-dashing-lashing. The winds churned the water into frothy foam, white and surly. Each roaring wave, charg- ing towards the shore, ended with a subdued swish as it rolled towards my feet, its very last bubbles swallowed by the spongy sand. On and on they advanced, roaring and swishing, roaring-swishing. Sea gulls flew above an out-going ship, adding their quiet flap, flap to its dying spurt and chug as it gradually faded away into the fog, cutting a fluffy path of spume in the water. Sitting there with spray moistening my cheeks, I heard the eerie portend- ing Whistle of the ship and the answering wail from the fog-horn of a distant vessel. The signal-lights of a light-house trieddesperately to pierce the dense veil of fog. On one side of the lake, the white stadium, museum, and aquarium rose like ghostly Parthenonsg on the other, the black, heavy skyscrapers, fading silhouettes against a gray sky. The wind ceased, the high waves disappeared, suddenly rain began to pour in torrents. As I hastened away, sharp, rapid arrows of rain pierced the calmed water. It was growing dark, and I ran into a building on Michigan Boulevard for shelter. It was fun to watch the people in shiny, squeaking raincoats rush about, and to hear the sloshing hum of rubber tires rolling over the wet, glossy streets. Umbrellas hurried past me accompanied by a continual patter. Suddently, jupiter was pacified, the rain stopped, and a heavier fog lay balanced in the air. I hurried to the station. The usual bright white lights of the skyscrapers were dim orange haloesgxand the usual bright red and green gleams of the traffic signals were blurred. On that night, the wet pavements fascinated me more than the shop windows, so, with bowed head, I hastened through the Illinois Central tunnel into the warm station with its lights and noisy bustle. As I munched a doughnut and sipped hot coffee, I read the headline of a newspaper: Mercury Frownsg Heavy Rain and Fog Due. Perhaps the editor of that paper felt that way, but I knew that I had had a perfectly dismal day of satisfaction and contentment. REBEL DEPALMA. Page 132 Watching The Clouds Clouds! Clpuds as old as the proverbial hills, and yet eternally young, like Endymiong these are the fleecy-white carriages of our listless imagination. They each help to make a sort of little World of our own, a little world peopled by our own dreams, desires, longings, and emotions. Why, to be sure, it is a World, for have you never lain on a sunsoaked mossy hillside, and watched a huge continent with evershifting melting shoreline drifting on the bosom of a deep blue sea of firmament with its schoon- ers, Steamers, and islands? Then sometimes the clear blue seems to be land with towns and farms that are succeeded by a shepherd and his flock, or perhaps a herd of some one of God's numerous mammals. Listen to Mrs. Elderls description of it: MY MENAGERIE No need to the circus to go have I, For a whole menagerie lives in the sky! And when in the tall, thick grass I lie, I see the procession go passing by. There are lions and bears and queer little cats. And moolies and mice and long-tailed rats, And great big elephants trotting behind Some very fat pigs who, I guess, have just dined. The whole seems to be a bit of childish fancy, yet a charming exact picture is there. It is an untiring panorama that is continually changing from one thing into a grotesque caricature of another original. These nebulous shapes against the blue do not always appear, for, you see, a great deal depends on one's mood, which is never the same. More often one sees just the cloud itself. At such times comes a realization of the beauty of the cloud in all of its forms, at dawn, after a storm, at sunset, and in almost any place this pleasing charm harmonizes with the surroundings. Edward Sill says: Thinned to amber, rimmed with silver, Clouds in the distance dwell, Clouds that are cool, for all their color, Pure as a rose-lipped shell. In this aspect the clouds are themselves only. One watches them as they pass slowly by. They begin to have a new dignified personality that affects things around them into a different air. Now they seem to even change and affect our own disposition. They might even fin personificationj act as we do at times. Remember that Wordsworth: -wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills,-Hg and the prisoner of Chillon was: Lone-as the corpse within its shroud, Lone-as a solitary cloud. Our mind follows these clouds to their end and rebirth. Then we think of Shelleyis beautiful poem The Cloudf' and wonder how such a simple and scientifically-physical fact can be presented in so many poetic thoughts and phrases. Thus we wander on until something brings us back to the common-place reality that is very different from the reality that we were sharing with countless other dreamers. WINCHESTER FELT. Page 133 Page 134 Sunset The ball of fire slowly sinks behind The mountain top, and the dark spruce and pine And fir are brightened by the gold and red And blue of an early autumn sunset. My eye is caught by the delicate hues Of the ever-changing sky up above, Of pink and rose, and fleecy whiteness too, Which are reflected in the lake below. At first there is a craggy mountain side With a tiny pink or large White cloud atop, And then the darkness comes and leaves a myriad Of twinkling stars. -EDITH FULLER.

Ozinda's Coffee House London of all the cities in England was the least hospitable. This was my con- clusion after spending a lonesome two months in London duri-ng the year of 1765. But a happy occasion destroyed this old thought and paved the way for a new one. As I was slouching down St. James Street in a dejected state of mind, I met an affable stranger, who, upon learning that I was a Tory in principles, invited me to have a dish of coffee at his expense. Needless to state, I accepted with a promptness which could not have done less than surprise him considerably. He pointed out a house down the street called Ozinda's, and we made for it with all haste. Upon entering the building, I was arrested by the dense smoke. I do believe that it was as heavy as a fog in that great towngrbut being a confirmed smoker myself, I did not mind the haze in the least. Men of all descriptions and stature so filled the place as to prohibit a quick progress to the bar. .After my benefactor had ordered coffee, tobacco, and pipes for both of us, we strolled to a bench by a glowing fire and began to talk of politics. George the Third, it was agreed upon by us, was as excellent a ruler as England had ever had. His policy toward the uprising colonies in America was a trifle too lax to please. - Just then, a very pretty barmaid appeared with our order and made eyes at us in an effort to have Mr. Lancaster increase our order. My companion, however, must have been a frequenter of coffee houses, for he did not fall for her scheme as I confess I might have done. While we were conversing on matters of the day and sipping our coffee, several men sat down near us. We were soon in a heated discussion as to the probability of a packet's being able to cross the Atlantic Ocean in fifteen days. The newcomers laid a bet of five shillings ffor that was the limit of wagers allowed in the housej that the feat could not be accomplished, but my friend refused to cover the money, saying that it would require too long a time to settle the question. After the bill of twelve pence was paid by my generous host, we sat by the fire and observed what was going on about us. Many men--rich men, poor men, and sailors were gathered in the large room. Benches and tables were crowded with men drinking, smoking, and talking. Nor was coffee the only beverage served in that house. Many of the customers were sipping ale and rum, while others were drinking wine as if it were water. Having no money to speak of I merely sat and watched, listening to every- thing that was said. I could readily understand why the men of the town assembled in coffee houses, for besides being able to have pleasant companions there, one could stay as long as he wished for only the price of a dish of coffee. Men were transacting busi- ness over dishes of coffee, while one gentleman was vainly trying to get bids on a boat which he was Wishing to sell. I had a Very pleasant evening at Mr. Lancaster's expense, and he and I became fond friends. Now, every evening we adjourn to Ozinda's for our coffee and good times. Mr. Lancaster has found a profitable position for meg so now I treat him when he will permit me. CLARE LUECKE. Page 135 SENIOR PHILOSOPHY Balance Without evil, good would not be. Without corruption, there could be no virtue. Without w.rong, there could be no right. Without stupidity, there could be no brilliance. None of these can be called states, they are comparisons, and entirely dependent on their opposites. Man builds tremendous skyscrapers, bridges, and dams because of that thing called ambition. Man seeks out the causes of things, goes to church, maintains moral standards because of something that opposes the very thing he is trying to live. That something is evil. It is therefore not only true that evil is necessary to the existence of good, evil is the veritable cause of good, and good is the cause of evil. The ,reason for the fact that many men attain their ends while some do not, and many fall entirely by the wayside, does not lie wholly in the fact that some are stupid and other brilliant-that some are morally weak and others morally strong. The primary reason for one's not reaching his goal is his failure to perceive the contrast between right and wrong-their meaning, and their relations to one another. A few philosophers have set forth the radical theory that everything is in balance. They believe, for example, that egoism is offset by humility. Those who believe that if one really thinks himself worth while he should not hesitate to show it, must be counter- balanced by those who look upon humility as a virtue. This seems to me to be unsound. It is true that we have always been conceited, but there has been little, if any, true humility. Philosophers have written volumes on the virtues of humility, but it will always be noticed that their names appear in large type on the title page. Humility, or a desire for humility, is not included in the makeup of man. And so this all goes to uphold the theory that an equilibrium is necessary. Evil must balance goodg corruption must balance honesty, poverty must balance Wealth, over- indulgence must balance temperanceg stupidity must balance wisdom, the repulsive must balance the attractive. WM. MCKNIGHT. On We Rush The World is busy in its tireless way With building, building up. To be out done Is not the thought of any modern son. With hopes to reach the top, he toils each day, Ne'er wearying under burdens that may weigh. He's built a world that towers everyone's And yet he struggles on. To outdo one Another seems the spirit of this day. Will all the powers of this marvelous man Be great enough to cover up his sins? The minor ones? That count up in the end? When rushing to accomplish other plans He may forget those little things-named sins. Build slowly! Scan your work from end to end. JUANITA GANSEN. Page 136 History When two-score cycles have faded out, And they're digging up the dust Of this, our day, I Wonder if Those seers of science as they thrust Their shovels through the dark debris of ages In seeking out the culture of this World, Will wonder who'll be writing down Their history on heavy parchment pages. . . WM. MCKNIGHT. Place There is no honor in being a senior if he is not respected or privileged. The plebians no longer distinguish a patrician, intermingled in the hungry mob of crude, undeveloped underclassmen. They rub shoulders with him and even dare look him in the eye. A misdemeanor of that sort should surely be punished by presenting the upstart to humiliat- ing ridicule. How can a senior retain his dignity if his privileges are taken from him? What fun is there in taking English if every assignment has to be fulfilled, or every problem in mach has to be worked? Melodious racket is very disagreeable to the martinet. The eagle eye sees allg the ear trumpet hears allg the far reaching digit points to the guilty one and banishes him from his stronghold-the assembly. Now what is a pep meeting without a senior who has the free use of his pipes, his hands, and his feet? It is milder than the annual convention of the deaf, dumb, and blind members of the International Association for the Helpless. Mr. Darwin is a firm believer in evolution, but he never would believe that the tuft-hunter of today is a descendant of his grand- sire, who did what he was told when he thought it Was right and proper. Seniors certainly ought to be marked by standards of privilege. Four, Hve, or six years of work by diligent men is a sign of honor, and it is rank which should be respected. What pleasure is there in being blind if one can see, or deaf if he can hear? The same is true of an unrespected upper classman who does not see life as it should be. Seniors lack unity. Even knobsticks do not recognize each other in corridors or in classes. That is the fault of their disrespect for each other. In union there is strength, somebody said, and the decadence of the seniors is evidence. If only they could see themselves as others see them, there would be a change-maybe! WALTER BUTKUS.
