DEDICATIGN E DEDICATE this, our 1932 hook of cameos, to Students of Bloom who have met with such fine spirit the prohletnzs of today, and with splendid loyalty to Old Bloom have carried on, visioning the Bloom to he. OUR THEME PROGRESS does not always lie in going forward-holding fast to the good is advance- ment in days of uncertainty. Bloom adopted this latter as her motto when she found she would be unable to go into the new building this year, and deter- mined to accomplish just as many worthwhile things with more limited means and space. She set about reviving interest in old activi- ties and establishing new ones-making them bigger and better than they had been before. The theme for the Annual was chosen in the same spirit-the cameo-gay, colorful, and brave-symbolic of the Renaissance f or revival of interest Q has been woven in all its meanings into every part of the book. Its beauty, endurance, and development were found comparable to the different phases of school life and its memories.

Whitfield u ' J. J. Eckfeldt H, W, Adair A. G. Poorman The Bloom Board of Education has had a very busy year. Supervising the erection of the building after the corner stone was laid, in October, occupied much of their time, and the problem of meeting the financial situation demanded continual meetings during the spring months. At the election in April, Mr. Morris L. Slugg was chosen to fill the vaca-ncy made by Mr. J. HI. Eckfeldt, who for several years occupied the ofhce of president. At the reorganization of the board, Harvey W. Adair was selected as presidentg George Whitheld retained his position as secretary. Page I 6 l Hildur J 1 The Oiiice Force The office is the center of all activity at Bloom, and Miss Soderman is the central figure, whose capable guidance keeps the wheels of the school moving smoothly. Her duties are manifold. As Mr. Bover's secretar she takes care of his corres ond- : . 1 y - u enceg she compiles the honor lists and keeps records of all students' I'at1ngS. She is present at the Board meetings, keeping stenographic records. No matter how numerous her duties, she is alwa s willin to ive heed to re uests with a smile and a kind word. Y S S fl Stella Leach, who for three years has been one of the oiiice assistants, is Mr. Wil- son's right hand girl. Her major work is keeping the accounts of the various . . organizations of Bloom - - 1 well balanced. She also checks on daily attendance with student assistance. The third member of the office force is one of last year's graduates, Har- riet Kruse, who was ap- pointed to fill the vacancy left by DeVere Bixler. Harriet's duties consist of making mimeographed tests, sending out daily announcements, and as- sisting in the general of- Stella Leach lice work. Harriet Kruse Page I 7 me Y. .

Pauline Drinkwater, Miriam Brewer English Department Twelve teachers cooperate in the English department, each contributing her best efforts in the developing of habits of correct expression and good reading. To Miss Ash, Miss Bisson, Miss Brewer, Miss Haessler, Miss Mernitz, Miss Drinkwater, Miss Simmonds, and Miss Theobald is given the enjoyable task of helping the freshmen find their own ideas through Adventures in Literature, and the most difficult task of teaching them to speak and write grammatically. The sophomores, also under their direction, continue the study of effective sentence structure and the organization of thought into literary units, with delightful excursions into medieval romance and American literature. In the junior year, with Miss Wallace, Miss Mellinger, Miss Switzer, and Miss Way to direct, students are again drilled in facility of expression, in diction, in the study of poetry, essay, short-story, drama, and argument. Here they read and write, and write and read, developing original literary units of each type studied, and working toward the recognition of their best work in the two student publications, The Broadcaster and The Bloom. Journalism and staff courses are offered by Miss Way, where students learn newspaper writing and the makeup of a paper. English IV, senior English, is electiveg but to those who enroll there comes the joy of experiencing mental growth through the study of the whole range of English literature. The library shares in this joy of interpretation, it is the storehouse of books, where The printed page has seized the torch of knowledge and truth out of the hands of a few and carried it to all the world.

Theobald Cdean of girlsj Social Science Department The Social Science courses cover four years, some required, others elective. Com- munity civics, a requirement for all freshmen, is divided into two parts. The first, training for citizenship, includes the study of our national, state, and local govern- ments. The second makes a careful study of vocations under the direction of Mr. Coburn and Miss Mathews. The students prepare special notebooks on some particular vocation that they select. The sophomores are offered an elective, Early European history. Each year, in this course, Miss Futcher works out interesting projects. This year the class, in groups, made a study of different phases of Greek life, by preparing an original magazine they were able to get a clearer picture of these interesting people. In Miss Norman's Modern History classes the juniors study the conditions, events, and characters of European countries since 1600. The international relations of these countries are studied, and the effect of the World War and the present work of the League of Nations is reviewed. This has given opportunity for careful study and essay work. The course in American history under Miss Smith has been a survey of American progress with special emphasis on social, economic, and political conditions, stressing the U. S. as a world power. This is carried on through dehnite assignments in reference reading and in current publications, class discussion, and reports-methods that vitalize the recitation periods. Closely cooperating with all work is the library, which furnishes available material of interest to the student beyond the text book. It is a workshop- the heart of the school, directed by Miss Hess and her assistant, Miss Marshall. Miss Ora Theobald, dean of girls, writes admittances to classes of absentees, and directs the activities of the Girls Club. Page I 9 William P. Dyer Qheadj, fassistant principalj, Haclwin W. M'Cann, Harry E. Peterson, William Manske Rinaldo Ignelzi, Mary Erma Ash Qartj, Flora M. Bliss fmusicj, Adele Mernitz Qspeechj Vocational and Fine Arts Department The Vocational Arts Department of Bloom is embodied in the Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing courses offered to boys who are taking an Industrial Course. The boys have been instructed in Manual Training this year by Mr. Dyer, Mr. M'Cann, and Mr. Ignelzi. Mr. Peterson, Mr. Manske, and Mr. Ignelzi teach the boys in the Mechanical Drawing Department. Students taking Mechanical Drawing are subject to a course in Elementary Mechanical Drafting for their Hrst two years. The third year includes pattern drawingg while in the fourth year the student may choose either Machine Drawing or Architectural Drawing. The manual training courses are somewhat similar in arrangement. A student spends his time working during the first year with hand tools to learn the fundamental prin- ciples of woodworking. In his second year he learns the mysteries of the speed turning lathe. The third year's work consists entirely of pattern making. The art course aims to improve the student's taste and increase his enjoyment of beautiful things. He may receive training in drawing with pencil, brush and color, and pen and inkg i-n lettering and poster designing, and in illustration. He lea1'ns how to apply art principles to his dress and to the interior and exterior of the homeg to ap- preciate painting, sculpture, and architecture, and to know representative masterpieces. To these ends freehand drawing, commercial art, and art appreciation are offered. Miss Bliss' course in Music has its beginning in Sightreading where the student is familiarized with notes and their usesg the course continues with History of Music-- a study of its development from ancient times, and Harmony where simple melodies are harmonized and chord formation studied. Miss Mernitz teaches all Sophomores in public speaking. This course leads many to take up dramatics, which includes the reading and interpreting of plays. Page 20 It lv Myrtle Spahn fheadl, G.

Veazcy Commercial Department--Athletic See the Commercial Department as .1 busy office where students work not by the clock but overtime. In this department, the Freshmen act as managers of a store and fulfill the duties thereof. They also perform as file clerks and do rapid calculating by machine, both of which offer them opportunity for development of accuracy and speed. Sophomores struggle with the problems of a scientific age. Bookkeeping and account- ing are the basis for the study of finance, a valuable asset to every 'student who looks forward to the time when he may manage money and investments of his own or of his employer. This is important, whether or not he ever becomes a full-fledged book- keeper or treasurer of a great institution. Juniors and Seniors diligently perform the advanced work of the stcnographer by taking dictation and transcribing those shorthand notes. These typists very often come to the aid of the various departments of the school by taking Care of their miscellaneous correspondence. It is this branch of the commercial department that sent out at least one hundred letters to Bloom Alumni for a section in the Bloom. The course in Physical Education has a number of fundamental purposes, to pro- mote and establish good health habits, to trai-n the individuals for the best use of leisure timeg to develop certain standards with reference to honesty, fair play, loyalty, will- ingness to give and take, and respect for authority. The course in First Aid and the keeping of health charts contribute to the health side of physical education. Games, dances, and tournaments tend to give training for leisure time and to develop desirable traits of character. Page 21 i - , Elmer R. Nelson Cheadj, Ralph B. Coe, Harold Gonzales, Elmer Rowley Altha Haviland, Amy Applegate, Charlotte Greer, Blanche Young, Lucille Garrison Science Department What is the composition of salt? How fast does light travel? How does a plant nourish itself? Such questions as these are revealed to students who attend the various laboratories of physics, chemistry, botany, and physiology. In science, students are continually striving to obtain the unknown by research work and laboratory experi- ments. In physics students discover new elements, new dimensions, new atoms, and new sources of energy. The mysteries of telephone, telegraphy, and radio are revealed to him. Mr. Gonzales and Mr. Coe carry on this study with students. Another and perhaps equally interesting study of science to juniors and seniors is chemistry in which Mr. Nelson aids students in precipitating, dissolving, and analyzing compounds. Chemistry like all other branches of science has no origin nor has it an end. Another valuable study under the direction of Miss Haviland and Mr. Rowley is botany, where students learn the wonders and miracles of nature. Field trips are often made where the student sees in reality the many things of nature which he has studied as theory. Besides these departments, physiology and agriculture are taught, the former by Miss Applegate, Miss Groer, and Miss Futcherg and the latter by Mr. Rowley. The Home Economics department under the direction of Miss Young and Miss Garri- son includes courses in cooking and sewing. Miss Young has laboratory work daily in the school kitchen-while Miss Garrison teaches the girls skill in sewing, an exhibition of the girls' garments at the close of the term, gives proof of the practical value of sewing.

Herr QLatin, head, Alon Haskett Mathematics and Language Departments The Mathematics Department concerns itself chiefly with required courses, but offers some electives. This year Miss Haskett, Miss Martin, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Anderberg, Mr. Cassady and Mr. Lare helped seventeen classes of elementary algebra to a knowledge of algebraic solutions of problems--and of all the processes, including factoring, long division, and fractions, necessary in working the equations which give those solutions. The second year students in eleven classes under Mr. Briggs, Miss Martin, Mr. Cassady, Miss Haskett, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Lare began to study the relations of the parts of geometric figures and to investigate the intricacies of logical proofs of those relations. Those juniors and seniors interested elected advanced algebra, solid geometry, or trigonometry. Advanced algebra students delved more deeply than was possible before, into the fascinating theories of numbers and equations. Solid geometry students con- tinued geometry with the study of solid figures. Trigonometry is intended for those students who expect to continue matahematics in college. The Language study at Bloom includes both Latin and the Romance languages. The aim of the Latin student is to acquire a knowledge of certain fundamentals of grammar, and to build a vocabulary. This knowledge makes it possible not only to read and interpret the literature of the Romans, but also to get a keener appreciation of the heritage that Latin has given to English grammar and literature. The Modern Language department offers two-year courses in French, Spanish, and German. In these two years the department endeavors to give the student the funda- mentals of the language, and to introduce him to the literature of the country with which he is concerned. Everyday matters are used as a basis for conversation. Page 23 GUR TEACHERS HE Teachers of Bloom are skilled artisans-carving with delicate, sure touch the Cameo of student mental development-removing the undesirable portions, recog- nizing and bringing into prominence the most beautiful and worth while traits of character. They work with precious materials-the young, grow- ing mind and heart of the student. Upon them rests the responsibility for shaping the embryo ideas-uncertain thoughts which will harden to form the character of the student. Most vital of all, perhaps, is the personal interest which they put into this work-a warm human understanding of the design and composition of youth-a desire to help each find the best in himself and teach him to use it.- And they feel repaid when they observe youth developing under their guidance into the right kind of men and 'lU07l1CI1.

Carolyn Wilke Ralph Einhorn Mr. Cassady Thomas Bonick Jayne Eldredge Secrrfury President Sponsor Treasrnrr Virr-Prr'xin'cul Senior Review The 1932 graduating class, 140 members strong, is now about to achieve the first goal of its high ambitions-graduation. Although they showed much eagerness and energy during their first year, they became more enthusiastic for Bloom with each succeeding year. In 1928, the class, as freshmen, assembled from the various schools of the township, with a membership of 2693 green, timid, but earnest. With the aid of teachers and advisers, they chose their courses and planned their high school careers. As time assed, man of these were forced to dro b the wa 'sideg but others, more P . V. . . P V 5 . . . fortunate, continued to increase in knowled e, d1 mt , and sense of res onsibilit . In a 1 1 I . g . g y . I P y addition, they were sifting out their leaders, until when senior elections occurred, they chose the following capable oflicers: Ralph Einhorn, president, Jayne Eldredge, vice- president, Carolyn Wilke, secretaryg' and Thomas Bonick, treasurer. Those of the class who attained a high scholarship-that of 90? or above-were elected into membership of the National Honor Society, while those who excelled in dramatic talent, were made National Thespians. The editing of the annual, the time-honored record of senior achievements, was for a time a matter of great suspense. This was prolonged because of the depression. Finally the uncertainty became a reality on March 1, and the official staff immediately announced their assistants and plunged into the task of editing their book. This year, Co-Editors assumed the tremendous task of creating and promoting the annual. Those elected by their class were Phyllis Reardon and Renata Pfeil. Ralph Einhorn and Howard Rollert became the business managers. The class of 1932 was most fortunate in having Mr. C. T. Cassady as class sponsor during both junior and senior years. Now, as this class Hnishes four, happy, busy years at Bloom, and stands on the threshold of new experiences and adventures, they are eager to give to the world the same enthusiasm, courage, and ambition as they have shown in Old Bloom.

SENIOR CLASS OF l932 Committee of Three Page 42 From Editors' Easy Chair As page after page of proof comes back from the printer, and we see the book grow- ing steadily, we are reminded of all the people who have generously aided in the task of producing this, the 1932 annual. Without Miss Way's constant aid and direction the book could never have been. She was always willing to stop whatever she was doing on other publications to give her full attention to our needs. Under Miss Ash's capable guidance in her art department Loretta Johnson, Gilbert Towle, Edwin Gordon, Jeannette Bilinski, Jennie Janis, and Lawrence Frazzini compe- tently illustrated the theme and made up the kodak section. Miss Hess, who delights in searching for appropriate and workable ideas, submitted a most fitting suggestion-the cameo-suitable to this year of Bloom's revival in its old building. The addition of an alumni section this year entailed the sending of more than a hundred letters to alumni of different years, as far back as 1895. To Miss Spahn and her typing class we owe much for the writing and mailing of these letters. To Ellen Caskey, who accepted the editorship of this section, we express our appreciation. It is an unusual coincidence that Ellen was the first editor of the Broadcaster under Miss Way's direction and the editor of the first alumni section in a Bloom annual. Miss Soderman, although pressed with her oiiice duties, willingly assumed the pains- taking task of' checking Senior achievements. The Bloom is indebted to Miss Wallace for the delightful literary selections gathered from her advanced English classes, and to Miss Mellinger for the imaginative bits of verse and description that her experimental writing group has done. She and her sister Louise also aided greatly in proof reading the copy as it came back from the printer. As a Faculty member of the Bloom Committee, Mr. Peterson, as formerly, cut all the mounting boards for Bloom pictures, and thus helped the staff in accurate mounting. All these people aided in the editing of our book, but even then it could not have been successful had it not been for the diligent work of the advertising staff, under Mr. Lare's direction. Especial thanks is due Marietta Isaacs, a junior, who obtained many of the ads. Above all, the student body is to be commended for its splendid support, financially and otherwise, when it seemed for a time as if we might not have an annual. Without the subscriptions of the students and their willingness to help, nothing could have been accomplished. The page of Rare Cameos was made possible by the carefully conducted election in which the seniors nominated the most outstanding people in the class.

Wallace Smith Eva Salis Mr. Coe Helen Kempe Gene Hildeman Vice-Presirlenl Treasurer Sponser President Secretary Introduction About the time that a student has reached his Junior year, he has taken his stride in the affairs of the school. Any outstanding qualities that he may possess have usually been discovered and recognized. He may be prominent as a student, a leader, an athlete, or just an all-'round good fellow, but by his Junior year, he should have developed enough assurance to assert that spark in him that marks his individuality. A keen observer can look into the Junior ranks, and without much trouble, read the future for the students. The student may become a teacher or an inventor, the athlete, an Olympic contender or a college letter-man, the all-'round person may make someone a good mate in marriageg and that rare person, the leader, may become a future statesman or presi- dent of our nation. Citizenship Responsibilities The Junior class of Bloom represents the first chance of the class to act as a whole. Class officers are elected for the first time, and necessary business is conducted. At this time the Juniors realize that they will soon have the major responsibility in our student government, the City of Bloom. Heretofore, they have sent councilmen to the Student Council and have had monitors and hall guards appointed from their class. Now they know that the next year the mayor and most of the officials of the City of Bloom will come from their class. They will be responsible for the school functions and for the reputation of the school in the town. It is a great responsibility. How can the Juniors meet this responsibility? They must become more proficient in leadership. They must be willing to take the added weight on their shoulders.

A timid Freshie, so new that a tinge of green was almost evident in his frightened face, gazed at him admiringly. A confident Sophomore, having assumed a role of importance at no longer being forced to bear the taunts and jeers directed at Freshmen, beheld him with awe and respect. The Junior, however, scarcely aware of these admiring glances, strode on and on. Finally he reached his destination, the Latin room. Lo! in its stead, was a vast sea, upon which sailed a mighty vessel bearing a gallant warrior. Aeneas, the Trojan hero, beckoned the astonished Junior, and in firm, clear tones, which depicted his manly character, said, Your journey through the 'Aeneid' will not be void of hardships. Often these apparently tranquil waters will surge high above your head, and only through diligent study and application will they again become calm and peaceful. The history room was a battlefield-the scene of a bitter struggle for supremacy. In the English room, Diction, Punctuation, Grammar, and Spelling sat in stately array against a background of flaming red pencils. An ugly witch, clothed in a long, black garment, barred entrance to the Physics laboratory, continually wailing her mournful call, Theories, problems, experiments-then success. Three weeks later, the same timid Freshman and the same confident Sophomore met the same haughty Junior in the hall. His head was no longer held erect, and his eyes no longer looked straight ahead. The two under-classmen wondered at the change in their hero, but it was only the Junior who really and truly understood. The Pleasures of a Junior The pleasures, as well as the worries, are numerous in the life of a Junior. Inter- mingled with Burke-that master mind-Physics, with its stupendous formulas and experiments, are the prom, Glee Club, Girls Club, and athletics-joys that brighten up thc darkest of prospects. The Glee Club affords musical-minded Juniors a chance to warble blues fand Burkesj away, and gives them an opportunity to show the Seniors that they are not the only orioles. The Girls Club gives the girls a chance to lead erring Freshies, and to enjoy a conhdential chat without interruptions, such as-a call to the oflice, news of a recently flunked test, discoveries of failures to copy the Solid Geometry problems, et cetera. Both feminine and masculine Juniors fl will not Commit myself to call them girls and boys, or ladies and gentlemen j are recognized as competent athletes-as the Junior Letter Men prove to you. Most of the Juniors are very enthusiastic about Dramatics, since they have the Senior Class Play lying unconquered before them. The biggest event in a Junior's life-the prom! How many joys and worries it has caused, and will cause for many years to come! Above all, however, is the infinite warmth excited in the heart of a Junior-being recognized as an Upper Classman. Page 50 Junior Quick, Ariel! We must hie ourselves to the City of Bloom to give our opinion of a strange creature they have loose there. Its name is Junior. ,Tis said that its actions arc as strange as its name. Here, into my seven league boots, and away we go! Look, there is Junior on the campus! He is very cheerful looking. Mayhap our report was wrong, for junior looks quite all right to me. We shall follow and see. Ah! He has indeed many friends, and seems well liked! Inside the building he is greeted by groups of students, and they all are sincere in their greetings. Look, there is junior on the stage, he has even gone in for dramatics. Again we see Junior, but this time with a basketball, showing another field in which he has made good. Is there anything which Junior has not done? In all athletics he ranks high, and in scholastic rating he is as good as any of them. Junior! The very essence of school life. His horizon is unclouded, and he flits through all with a smile on his face. Truly, Junior is a stage in youth's life to be looked back on with an envious sigh. The bold assurance which is his is very much the true part of Junior's makings. Life has not yet shadowed Junior's path. What a bright world this would be if all human nature took on the sunny disposition of Junior! But, hark! Enough of my philosophy! We must away to the world of spirits, for we have accom- plished OUI' task. Our one peek into school lifc has given us our answer. The Leader To whom do all the students look Whenever in need of a guide? It certainly isn't thc Senior In all his manly pride, And one could hardly imagine The leader, a Freshie green, Or even a boasting Sophomore Who is very seldom seen. A Junior is the chosen man As one can plainly see, He knows no pride or boasting And has the best quality. Truly a leader! it might be said Of any good Junior at Bloom, He'll tower above his fellow-men And there forever loom. Page 5 1 Zin Memoriam John Philip, a popular member of the Junior class, passed away Saturday, January 16, as the result of an accident. Jack, as he was known to all his classmates, was a favorite with both students and teachers. His cheerfulness, his genial manner, added to a sincere kindliness of heart endeared him to all who knew him. John took an active part in several of Bloom's activities.

Never! For who has ever heard of an Annual that was complete without those masterpieces of the photographer, the sophomore rogues' gallery? To arms! To arms! Loyal sophomores to arms! The Annual is actually a reality, but our pictures are to be left out. There is to be nothing about us in the Annual. We've been tricked. Thus the campaign for what sophomores call their rights began. Such an uprising on the part of peaceful contented sophomores made the Annual staif shiver. This was a serious problem. Tsk! Tsk! Why try to calm them? Let them rave. We'll make it a business proposition to them. If fifty per cent of the class will agree to buy the Bloom, we will give them permission to have their pictures in the Annual. And so it happened. The campaign was extended into another direction. This time it was to secure fifty per cent of the class to sign up as Annual buyers. Ut was for many sophomores their annual buy., Sophomore loyalty showed itself by going over the required percentage. Future Annual editors, please note. It was the sophomores who did things. They gave the Annual an unexpected and good boost in sales. But wait-you have read of the sophomore struggle for recognition. Now let me give you some more and better information about the sophomore class. We hold the brains of the school within our great, big, beautiful skulls. Look at the high honors and honors taken by our fellow members. Without us Bloom would not have had much left to her, scholastically. Look at the teams. The upper classmen are the showmen, having had at least a year's more experience in that line, but it's the sophomores who give that punch to the athletics. Without us, what would Bloom be athletically? Bring on your candy sales, plays, social hours, contests, sport contests, or musicales and you'll always find the sophomore class represented. May I suggest that you had better keep your eyes on the sophomores?

The trees and breezes blow, The sun is shining down, And every flower around Is swaying to and fro Thus hours and days do go, As the sands in the hour glass flow. In memory of Mabel Kubiak who lost her life in an auto accident on November 6, 1931. ATHLETICS 1 J 5 Q E E E E ,Z Pa 2 5 F i E Arrangement of the schedules for all athletic engagements falls under the direction of one of the best athletic directors in the state, E. R. Nel- son. His coaching interests are centered around track, but he also aims to train lightweight foot- ball proteges. Helpful training given to the lighter division boys by Coach Nelson enables them to make the heavyweight football team in later years. An instigator and president of the South Suburban League, Coach Nelson, has made an unbeatable record in that field. E. R. Nelson The fate or success of varsity football and basketball lies in the hands of Cecil M. Sarif. For seven years he has been at the helm of major sports at Bloom. During this time, winning teams have been produced with astounding suc- cess, but above all, a spirit of loyalty to the school and an intense love for sports, merely for the benefits derived from them, have been de- veloped under the guidance of the best athletic coach that Bloom has ever had. Intimate con- nections with all sportmen entrusted to his care have created friendly ties, that will remain un- C. M. Sarff As lightweight basketball coach for six years at Bloom, Hadwin W. McCann has never piloted a losing combination. Well-taught and well- timed maneuvers on the court have helped to keep his teams in the first division. As baseball director, Coach M'Cann has developed exception- ally well-rounded teams. He also assists with football in the fall. All-in-all, H. W. M'Cann demands close attention to his system of play, and if his instructions are closely followed, de- feat nevcr downs his players. broken through years to come. H. W. McCann Page 59 Lake View at Bloom LAKE VIEW AT BLooM The advantage of weight on the part of the Chicagoans forced Bloom to drop its first encounter to Lake View by a twenty to two count. Hedbloorn of Lake View saved Bloom from a shutout by virtue of a safety in the third quarter. HENDRON Hendron, with a year of experience to his credit, cinched the left end position and continued as one of the best ends in the league. He showed fine defensive ability and proved equally able to help carry Bloom's aerial attacks. SIMON Handicapped by injuries during the latter part of the season, Simon was forced to give up his regular quarterback position and act as substitute in that line. He displayed outstanding ability against both Kankakee and Calumet High. VAVRUS Witihout a doubt, Vavrus was the best of the Freshmen material. He starred at tackle in every game, by breaking up enemy drives and opening holes in the opponents, lines. WOODWARD Woodward, who entered Bloom in September from New Trier, played as a substitute end because of lack of experience. His height made him available for both blocking and completing passes. H end ron Simon Vavrus Woodward Page 60 iff' 5 Hyde Park at Bloom HYDE PARK AT BLooM Although figures do not reveal the improvement shown by Bloom in its second tilt with Hyde Park at Chicago, the Bloomires bowed to the Southsiders, fourteen to nothing. Captain Galiene, veteran fullback, and Morton Pensinger, experienced guard, exhibited some stellar defensive ability. LUX Bloom's husky tackle, Lux, continued his defensive effectiveness after a year of experi- ence as a substitute. His weight made him a leading factor in the line during the season. LEONARD Leonard, the veteran half-back, displayed everything in the line of backfield technique. He could punt, pass, block, and do some stellar open field running. He attained the peak of his success in the Calumet High game. ARONOWITZ Handicapped by lack of weight, Aronowitz did little ball carrying, but was accurate in calling plays and in returning punts. Because of his fighting spirit, he participated in nearl ever ame. y y g PETERSON Peterson, team manager, was early recognized as an effective guard. His spirit and enthusiasm earned him a place after a comparatively short term of experience. Lux Leonard Aronowitz Pelerszm Page 61 Bloom at Thornton BLOOM AT THORNTON The first annual gridiron battle between Bloom and Thornton resulted in a victory for the latter. Outplaying their rivals in a drizzling rain, Bloom's team failed to halt Klein's twenty yard run that Won the game. PENSINGER Morton Pensinger rapidly developed into a first-rate guard. He was first choice for guard the entire season, and by his offensive and defensive work the team benefited greatly' PHILIP Slightly under-weight for a football player, Jack Philip overcame the handicap in fighting. After securing the center position, he improved steadily through the season. NODUS After four years of persistent practicing, Leo Nodus, though a sub, proved his Worth in the Waukegan game. As substitute, he filled in at tackle when needed. PROKOP Leo Prokop, who started at the end position, sustained injuries in the Thornton and Kankakee games, with the result that he played only part of the time. Pcnsinger Philip N odus Prokop Page 62 - , . ri Waukegan at Bloom WAUKEGAN AT BLooM With technique somewhat improved, Bloom met Waukegan, but failed to score. The blue and white gridders gained 215 yards from scrimmage against their visitors' 186 yards, but the home team was unable to put in the final scoring punch. SAYLOR Jack Saylor won a halfback position by virtue of his speed and endurance. His wide end runs and cut-back plays made him familiar to Bloom fans. GVIRTZMAN Jake Gvirtzman stepped into the vacancy left by Edward Weise at guard. He played both defensively and offensively at a steady gait. OGIBOVIC The left end position fell to John Ogibovic when Prokop was injured. He showed his ability by being chosen a member of the All-South Suburban team. FRIEDLANDER Lack of aggressiveness was responsible for David Friedlander's failure to hold the center position. Dave has another year, when he surely will overcome this fault. .

The Squad The 1931-32 football team, although handicapped by lack of weight in comparison with the opposing elevens, worked hard and faithfully to form a winning combination. Coaches Sarff and McCann, in spite of difficulties, moulded the teamwork around Cap- tain Mario Galiene, who was supported by Aronowitz at quarterback and Saylor at running half-back. Leonard blocked and ran with equal L.i..?-1...- efhciencyg these three men composed a speedy, hard-hitting backfield. Those deserving creditable mention in the line are the veterans of previous years who have proved their worth P time and time again. The backbone of the line consisted of l J. B. Hendron, end, Oliver Lux, tackleg Jack Philip, cen- terg and Morton Pensinger, guard. MARIO GALIENE The 1931 season completed Captain Mario Galiene's ath- letic career at Bloom. His line bucking and blocking was always the dread of all opponents. Galiene Page 64 Swanson Sf. Pierre Lrovrara' SWANSON H l Swanson lengthy star forward, completed his high school career by helping a e , to win the league championship. He has been, for two years, the high scorer of the league, with 155 points for the 1931-32 season. He averaged five to eight baskets a game. ST. PIERRE Robert St. Pierre, playing his first year on the heavies, fitted in with the teamwork and added materially to its defense. Bob's steady defensive work showed its worth against Bradley at the district tournament. LEONARD Although Leonard graduated in mid-year, he captained ' ' Y the team to two league championships and a district cham- . pionship. His defensive playing was spectacular throughout r + his career. Bud's calm, cool playing will be missed in - the future. SPAK As a long shot artist, Joe couldn't be beaten. More than once, a high arching ball swished from his hands through the net just in the nick of time. He wove in and i out among his opponents and often caught them napping. S pak Page 65 1' Di Guilio Logan D1 GUILIO Pie penbri nk Small and fast, this young sophomore passed and shot with either hand.

LOGAN When Leonard became ineligible, Logan stepped into his position with talents that earned him a regular job. Ray's long shots often saved the PIEPENBRINK Stretch Piepenbrink, lanky center, put the necessary scoring punch into the quintet, for he very seldom missed a tip off and guarded his opponent effectually. Harry played on three championship teams of Bloom. ZARANKA This tall, speedy fellow moved around in such a manner that his opponent could never catch him. He played exceedingly well against University High, where he relieved many fans by his quick thinking on the floor. Page 66 teamis morale from slipping. Zaranka Woodward H cfm' ron Ogibovic WOODWARD joe, a six-footer, in his one and only year at Bloom helped bring about a championship. His relief work at guard and center showed his ability on the court. His work often saved the game, especially against Thornton. HENDRON b was needed, Hendron was ready and his style of play scored many Whenever a su needed points. He will be back for one semester next year. OGIBOVIC John played as a sub almost the entire year, but his one-hand shots accounted for the necessary two points. His defensive ability enabled him to till any position, especially that of Swanson's while the latter was suffering from che flu. Page 67 Aronowitz Skowronslzi N icolai ARONOWITZ Speed, aggressiveness, and pep were furnished to the lightweight five by Captain Aronowitz. His hobby, stealing the ball from taller opponents, made him the most valuable member of the lighter weight division. SKOWRONSKI Bill Skowronski supplied the steady, ever-constant floor work which is dearly prized by every thriving hardwood five. An enviable quality of this athlete was making timely baskets from the foul circle. NICOLAI Another never-veering performer was center Nicolai. His perfect defense gave the remaining players enough assurance to make drives that otherwise would have been worthless. His services will be missed next year. PIGNOTTI V Long range shots from his guard position not infre- quently sent thrills through all fans' hearts as balls went i through the basket without touching the steel rim. Pig- F notti's services were used at the center position as well as guard. Next year his duties will be heavy and constant. 4 I , Y i Pignotti Page 68 Sim0m'ifi M iccikis I gnelzi SIMONETTI Baskets from all angles were a mere happening to this shifty forward, who whenever sent into action to give the first string a bit of rest immediately fell into step with the team and put the scorer to work. He finally earned a first string position in the waning games of the season. MICEIKIS Although only eligible the second semester, Miccikis found no trouble in becoming a cog in the lightweight machine. He was better than the average guard with the ability to ring up a basket or two each game. IGNELZI The smallest but liveliest lightweight player in the South Suburban League won a place in the heart of Bloom fans by his natural ability to play fast, clean basketball. His services will end through graduation. WASZKOWICZ Waszkowicz proved a polished guard of no mean ability. His accuracy in short dribble-in shots furnished many baskets when most needed. Next season his berth will be left open, since he completes his course at Bloom. Waszkowiv: Page 69 Top row: S. Amadio, C. Ehrhardt, J. Zaranka, G. Yaseen, E. Wright, M. Hendron, O. Wieggel, M.

Heavyweight Squad The Sarifmen, for the second consecutive year, won the South Suburban League Championship, completing this year's work with a record of not one defeat. These lanky lads concluded the season with a record of fifteen victories. This score equaled the record set by Calumet City in 1927-1928. During che Christmas holidays the heavyweights participated in the Stagg Invitational Tournament, in which they were, eliminated in the second round. After taking a heated contest from Lake View, they faltered before York's heavy assault. Morton High of Cicero won the tourney and later captured the State Championship. The heavies were also eliminated at the districttournament in Kankakee by Bradley. The closely fought contest proved one of the two biggest upsets of the tournament. Six of the Bloom champions have ended their careers at Bloom: Bud Leonard, Harold Swanson, Harry Piepenbrink, John Ogibovic, Robert St. Pierre, and Joe Woodward played their last game in high school. Harold Swanson, high scorer for the league, and Harry Piepenbrink were selected on the All-South Suburban Team. Page 70 Top row: L. Posluszny, J. Piazza, A. Zwada, H. Fitzl-Ienry, C. McKee, J.

Lightweight Squad The lightweight squad of 1931-32 bettered the previous yearis record by capturing second place in the South Suburban League, having suffered only five defeats. The record of Coach McCann's proteges totaled ten games won, six of which were league games. These hard-working, speed ponies trimmed Momence in the opener, with Little Joe Ignelzi leading the scoring. University High next fell victim to the fast quintet in the first league tilt. The ancient friendly enemies, Thornton, lowered their colors before the terrific assault of the Blue and White. A streak of five losses which followed ruined the hopes for a championship. In the remaining games, Captain Solly Aronowitz led his team to three decisive victories, Blue Island first dropped the second encounter between the two teamsg the lights followed this up with a win over Kankakeeg the third and the last game of the season, Calumet City, was captured by the home team. This established a record, si-nee for two years no team has defeated the lightweights twice in the samc season. Coach McCann, for next season, will have thirteen from the present squad, four of whom are lettermen. Captain Aronowitz will return for one semester, Miceikis has three years, Pignotti two years, and Simonetti two years.

Baseball Faced with the proposition of building a strong nine from six returning lettermen, Coach Hadwin W. M'Cann successfully developed a winning combi-nation. A large number of candidates turned out for positions on the baseball team, but only those who showed possibilities were given places on the squad. Swanson, Spak, Rollert, Diguilio, De Luca, and Waszkowicz became the key men upon whom this victorious hard-ball team depended. When the final selections were whipped into shape, Swanson bore the brunt of the pitching, aided by Adair, Hinze, and Woodward. The heaviest catching Work fell upon Russell Wickwire who was ably assisted by Stanley Fik. I-n the million dollar infield, Joe Spak, Casimer Waszko- wicz, J. B. Hendron, and Ernest DeGuilio were at first, second, third, and shortstop, respectively. The fly chasing posts in the outfield fell upon Howard Rollert at left Held, Victor Hinze covering centerfield territory, and joe Woodward loping around in right Held. De Luca, Pilotto, and others alternated as utility men in the outfield. At the date of this writing, Bloom's diamond nine has won every game, and rolled up a total of four out of a possible seven shutouts. The scores of the games already played are: Bloom, 14, Hammond Tech., 2. Bloom, 65 Blue Island, 0. Bloom, 3, Lockport, 0. Bloom, 7g Crown Point, 0. Bloom, 14, U. High, 0. Bloom, 14, U. High, 3. Bloom, 10, Crown Point, 7. Games remained to be played with Blue Island on May 20 at Bloom, Hammond Tech comes to Bloom on May 27. On May 28 Morgan Park acts as hosts to our team, and two home games will be played with Lockport and Morgan Park on May 31 and June 4, respectively. All indications point toward a year marked with no defeats for the most successful baseball team Bloom has had in many years. Page 72 -1 l ! . 1 Vi..

R. Nelson started training late in March, for the 1932 season. Eight lettekrmen were lost by graduation: Howard Simon, Blair Peterson, William Leiteritz, Judson Leonard, Sylvester Liesenfelt, Louis Covington, William Cain, and Willie Amos. A nucleus of about thirty boys turned out for the present team and to date turned enough points to win three meets.

Hendron, a-nd Simon in shot put and discuss, Paris, Pfeil, and Fuller in the mile rung Hendricks, Hub, and Foster in the dashes, M. Hendron, Helfrick, Johnson, Hamilton, Low, Cohan, Goss, St. Pierre, and Fink have shown promise in field events and some of the track events. Some of the juniors who helped defeat Blue Island and Kankakee are Beebout, Rein- ing, Amadio, Kli-ne, johnson, Busch, Amos, King, Sheehan, Lavish, Overman, Otis, and Pezzoli. Blue Island, Kankakee, and University High fell before the Blue and White senior team. The juniors defeated Blue Island and Kankakee but lost to University High. Page 73 Minor Spring Sports WRESTLING A squad of twenty-five would-be grapplers turned out for preliminary training for the Cook County Wrestling Meet at the University of Chicago. At first, practice was held only two or three times a week, but as the boys showed promise, Coach Sarff worked them out every day. 1 At the championship matches, Bloom's youthful wrestlers placed in three divisions. Charles Sheehy captured third place in the 108 pound division. After winning several hard fights, Sheehy lost on a time advantage. Hubert Thompson took second place in the 116 pound class, and Henry Pilotto snatched fourth in the 135 pound group. Ralph Nardella and joe Vavrus each placed second in the 100 pound and the 165 pound classes, respectively, in the consolation brackets. These boys had been eliminated early in the championship matches, but carried on in this division. TENNIS Tennis, though a minor sport, this year has attracted many aspirants, ranging from the smallest freshman to the greatest senior. Rain and cold weather delayed the zealous practice of the boys to a great extent. A tournament, to determine the various stand- ings of the members of the squad, is in progress at present. Lawrence Christopher, ace of last year's team, has broken his arm and will be out for the season. As a result of this catastrophe, the four veterans of last year-Anderson, Shapiro, Fischer, and Smith -are vying with one another for first place. Frank Walteir, a sophomore, seems to be the most promising candidate for fifth man. A GOLF After exceptionally good spring weather, the golf squad started practicing at Indian Wood Country Club. Under Coach Sarff's direction, the group of fifteen was whittled down to a team of five, which led the attack against other South Suburban League Schools as the season advanced. i i Joe Zaranka, number one man, has led the team with two victories, one over Calu- met City, and the other University High. Thomas Sheehan has performed in cham- pionship style as second man. Joe Ignelzi holds down the third place, Charles Skuza plays fourth, and William Skowronski, though last, is one of the best. These boys have participated in two matches-one with Calumet City and one with University High. Calumet City lost eleven to four and University High fell twelve to three. A meet is scheduled with Thornton for Friday, May 20. A South Subur- ban Championship game is being planned for a later date.

G. A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association, directed by Miss Leila Veazey, physical education instructor, has this year substituted a board of control in place of officers as formerly. The girls were chosen on the basis of their interest in work for G. A. A. Four of the girls took charge of the candy stand at the athletic field during the football season. One was appointed basketball manager and another the volleyball manager. Three of the girls reported all the sports for the Broadcaster and the Bloom. One took care of renting costumes, while another had charge of the card index which shows the number of points each girl has won towards her B. T. H. S. numeral. The B. T. H. S. is a reward given to each girl who has made 750 points. These points are obtained by making teams, grades, hikes, observing health rules, and in various other ways. When a girl earns 1,000 points, she is given a medal. The G. A. A. sponsors all the tournaments which are held. This includes basketball, volleyball, baseball, tennis, and archery. This year the G. A. A. will also sponsor a Physical Educational Demonstration in the gymnasium, which takes the place of a biennial May Festival. The girls who are outstanding in gymnastic skill will participate. Every year the G. A. A. gives a spring banquet as a reward for all the basketeers. Page 75 SENIOR CHPVYI nm F SOPHOMORE B is i ' A ' if .sa y K .. X 1 i l fi 4. I. S' H. Volleyball Tennis, archery, basketball, and baseball-each has its place at Bloom as the seasons passg and when autumn comes, volleyball has its day. At the first call from Miss Veazey, the gym was filled with girls in bright suits, and the old walls again echoed to the rhud of hurled balls on bare palm. Volleyball had many loyal followers, and its tournament invariably brought out a gallery of ardent on-lookers, to cheer the players. Weeks of practice are necessary before the teams can be chosen. Then, Miss Veazey has the difficult task of selecting the players-difficult because there are so many good ones. Afterwards members of the teams meet in solemn conclave to elect a captain, a girl who, besides being a good player, must be a good sport and regard her office as one of responsibility. Since there is a first and second team for each class, two separate tournaments are held--one for the first teams and one for the seconds. The captain's duty is to supervise each game and substitute her players at strategic moments. In this way, if the players are skillful, they will make progress. This year several teams made such marked advance that the seniors were able to retain their position as champions only after a struggle. Page 77 CHPVTNS 5 1 A sovnomone Y Girls' Basketball A The girls' 'annual basketball tournamentended with the seniors capturing the title of undisputed champions. An elimination tournament was necessary after the regular tournament ended, since the senior, junior B, and sophomore B teams all tied for first place-each having won four games and lost one. In the elimination contest the seniors easily defeated the juniors and sophomores. Perhaps the most exciting games were the senior-junior B, of the regular tournament, in which the juniors lostg and the senior- sophomore B game, in which the sophomores became victorious in a hard fought battle. Mothers and friends of the players, during this contest, experienced many thrillsg they also enjoyed the bright array of varied colored spring suits. The colors of each team were kept a secret until its first appearance. The mighty seniors wore blue corduroy trunks with white tops--incidentally, the school colors. The junior B's adopted gay colors-green trunks with orange tops. The junior A's looked very modest in their all green suits with big black ties. The fighting sophomore B's wore blue and white checked romper suits. The remaining class teams donned their regular blue uniforms. After careful consideration, Miss Veazey, instructor, and Gladys Hocking, basketball manager at Bloom, selected the different class teams. The most important and exciting games were refereed by Katherine Strope and Maxine Blackemore, both of whom are physical education instructors in the grade schools. At the close of the successful basketball season the teams enjoyed the customary banquet which was prepared by Miss Young and her advanced cooking classes. After this delicious dinner the girls proceeded to the gymnasium, where they completed the evening by dancing. The G. A. A. Was unable, on account of the gym demonstration, to sponsor the advisory group tournament which custom was established for the first time last year.

This always called for months of practice--weaving and gliding back and forth, swaying and bow- ing in intricate steps. Then, the ultimate goal-soft lights, hushed voices, strains of a violin, and fairy figures dancing on a carpet of green was achieved. But worn, empty purses are not conducive to festivities, so this year, Bloom faced a fete-less May. How- ever, Miss Veazey trained the girls as usual in their classes in dances, drills, and games. Their skill offered such encouragement, that soon the good news-that Bloom would have a gymnasium demonstration-was heralded with delight. On a night that could have been only in May, flocks of girls in rainbow colors gave their repertoire of entertainments to the interested spectators. Little girls, wearing checked gingham and looking the part of fifth graders, danced demurely in and out of their skip ropes. There were other little girls who had got far enough beyond the skip-rope stage to require bashful little boys to hold their hands and dance primly with them. The freshmen, en masse, dressed in their bright gym suits, did folk dances of such far away lands as Holland, Italy, Scandinavia. A particularly clever dance was called Sailor Ashore. Not content with having one girl in every port, these sailors demanded two each, and their courtships, acted in pantomime, proved thoroughly amusing. A group of jolly clowns frolicked about inrorange, green, and black suits. There were many delightful dances, which kept one's eyes as busy as though looking at a three-ring circus. Ballet dances, A Dixie Quartettevg an old-fashioned clog to the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel , a military dance with patriotic costumes of red, white, and blueg a marching drill, with thirty-two feet stepping in perfect time-all combined in a fine demonstration of the achievements of Bloom's girls in gymnastic work.

Annually during the spring, three officers, consisting of a mayor, a clerk, and a treasurer, are electedg these assume their oilices in September, and at this time the mayor appoints all his assistants who aid in making each administration a successful one. The Chief of Police, with his ninety-six assistants who are stationed at various points about the building during the fire drills and who regulate the convenience of passing and check the time required, is one of the appointees. One of the most important departments, which renders a great service to all students who mislay or lose their property, is the Lost and Found Department. This year, eight hundred and thirty-nine articles were misplaced, of which five hundred and eighty-one were claimed. There is nu excuse for careless disregard or indifference to property, for Josephine Cosentino, chairman, uses a systematic plan by which each article may be claimed on identification. Second to the Lost and Found Department in economic service is the Second Hand Book Store, which this year was combined with the Book Store. Students desiring to sell their used books turn them in, and receive half-price for them. This system is beneficial, because first, it helped those who really needed cheaper books to get them at a low price, and second, it taught them to keep their books in good condition. Another equally important department, organized this year to satisfy the crying needs resulting from the economic crisis, was the Student Relief Committee. Through donations, much help was provided for those needing it. A popcorn sale helped to swell the Children's Milk Fund. The City of Bloom in many such ways sponsors numerous fields of activity.

Student Council The Student Council is a representative form of city government under student management, this body, known as the City of Bloom, is presided over by a mayor. The business of the council covering the needs of Bloom is presented by one of the voting delegates. Although there is a membership of fifty, only thirty of this number have Voting privileges. At each of the meetings a faculty sponsor is present who gives advice and helpful suggestions. The duties of the council have been especially heavy this year, besides supervising all football and basketball pep meetings, which greatly enliven the school spirit, the social life of the school body has been stimulated by monthly all-school parties. In addition to regular socials, several were given for charitable purposes, the money from the Christmas party was used to buy supplies for the Christmas baskets, another party in April did its part to support a Broadcaster issue. During the Yuletide season, eighteen baskets were distributed to the needyg the articles for these, for the most part, were contributed by the students. A popcorn sale was held on two consecutive days to swell the milk treasury, which at that time was in great need of help. As the work requires much time outside of class periods, and demands various types of activities apart from the regular routine, those who serve conscientiously are given recognition by a-n award-the service pin.

Hall Guards A stranger visiting Bloom might first observe a student, here and there, in the halls at a desk-apparently studying, but who on hearing steps, quickly looks up, and in return to any question directs the visitor to his destination. Having done this the student returns to his study. These various students are Bloom's hall guards whose duty it is to show courteous attention to guests, to direct those passing through the halls, to aid the freshmen to find their way through the intricate passages and stairways about Old Bloom, and to keep the hall about his station clear of any student during recitation hours. In all there are forty guards, one at each of the five stations during the eight school periods. His qualifications are a C average and a keen sense of responsibility. A guard may, however, be removed any time that he is found not to be giving his attention to his duties, or to his studies. Hall asses are one of the measures of ivin ermission to a student to ass throu h P 3 S P P 8 the halls on his way to an appointment. In the case of a slip-up by the student, a green slip is issued by the guard which makes it necessary for the offender to present himself at the oflice and explain his action. However, the system has been quite efficient, and very few green slips have been issued. Mo-nitors cooperate with the hall guards, through the assembly teacher, by gathering the attendance slips from the various rooms where students are engaged in extra work, thus the students' attendance is recorded.

Honor Society For the first time in the history of the National Honor Society at Bloom there are more boy than girl members. Although the society is smaller in membership than in preceding years, each member has striven to carry out the four ideals-scholarship, character, leadership, and service. To be eligible for membership in the society one must have a high scholarship average of 90 per cent for four years and take part in extra-curricular activities, character and service to the school enter into consideration at time of election. Only 15 per cent of the senior class may be elected to the Honor Society, and only 5 per cent of them at the first election, three elections may be held during the year. In September, this year, seven students were chosen by the faculty committee. This small group, of course, occupies a very high place in the estimation of Bloom students, but it goes beyond thatg for a member of the National Honor Society is recog- nized and respected throughout the nation as a person well worth knowing. The Parent-Teachers Association has shown its interest in the Honor Society by presenting to each member a symbolic pin. This co-operation is much appreciated, both by the society and by Bloom, the school they represent.

Girls Club Organized in 1927 by the Dean of Girls, Miss Theobald, for the purpose of com- panionship and fun, the Girls Club has progressed rapidly both in number and in scope of work. Much has been done to promote a feeling of friendship among the girls of Bloom this year. Starting in September with the Big Sister project, the members acquainted the incoming freshmen with the other classes of girls in school. This introduction has aided greatly in lessening the feeling of loneliness and timidity that many girls experience on entering high school. A later party in October entertained the freshies as guests. The girls assisted in several projects of helpfulnessg at Christmas they dressed dolls and purchased toys which were distributed at the Community Center. Conferences is one feature that broadens the girls' outlook and understanding through larger acquaintances. The south suburban conference held at Thornton High School for the school in this district, had as its speaker Miss Courtneyg round table discussions followed, giving opportunity for the others to learn what each individual club was doing in its work. In February a freshman track meet was staged in the gymnasium by the mid-semester graduatesg it proved a great success, as more girls attended than at any previous social. The sixth annual Girls' Conference was held at J. Sterling Morton High School in Cicero. One evidence of the increasing interest in the girls' work was the number of schools participating. Six hundred and fifty girls representing almost seventeen schools attended the all day session. Of the women who appeared on the program the girls were especially inspired by Miss Courtney, always a popular speaker with high school students.

The Audubon Society Bloom's Bird Club, a division of the National Audubon Society, was organized three years ago under the leadership of Miss Haviland, the sponsor, and Joe Davis, the first president, the purpose of this group was to study bird life. This nature study was carried on during the first semester of the second year under the leadership of Walter Fuller, Merrill Sweet, who occupied the chair the second term, directed a contest-recording observations of habits, and migrations of birds. Meetings, which are held twice a month, are varied by round-table discussions, bird hikes, and reports concerning different phases of bird-life. Shortly after the Yuletide, a Christmas tree donated by one of the boys was decked out with bird seed, suet, dried apples, nuts, and other things birds like to eat, given by students. This birds' Christmas tree, which stands in the front yard of the school near the Biology laboratory, is known to members as the Birds' Cafeteria. Since the yearly dues are paid to the National Organization in return for illustrated bird leaflets, a pin, and the magazine, Bird Lore,', it was necessary to earn additional funds to pay for the picture in the annual and dues for membership in the Illinois Junior Academy of Science. Two ways of earning money were employed. Under the leader- ship of Wayne Silver, the boys made bird plant stakes for sale as garden markers. The girls earned a considerable amount by means of a candy sale. The Illinois Academy of Science, which the group joined this year, brings three-fold privileges to the club members. By joining it the members may enter poster or project contests with other junior clubs, exchange new ideas of studying nature with other schools through a magazineg and have the privilege of sending delegates to the Senior Academy of Science Convention held at the University of Chicago on May 6 and 7.

The Travel Club One entering North Hall on certain Thursday afternoons between 3:30 and 4 o'clock might undoubtedly see a group of young people in Miss Hielscher's room, their faces lighted with interest as they listened to the speaker at the front of the room. Although comparatively new in Bloom, the Travel Club has become an established organization. During this eventful year, the members have traveled with their speakers through Europe, down to Florida, and out about Yellowstone Park. They have learned the customs of different people and have also become acquainted with the value and appearance of a passport. Some particularly interesting travelogues that were given were a talk by Willis Helfrich on A Trip to Europe the was aided greatly by his use of motion picturesj, and Andrew Ray's story of his bicycle tour from Budapest to Constantinople. Both of these trips had actually been experiences of the speakers and so proved doubly interesting. In a report, Doris Hansen told of her pleasant life in Florida at a time when the members could best appreciate that section of our country. Yellowstone National Parkff by Dorothy Carrier, contained vivid descriptions that contrasted greatly with the pictures that had been shown by other members. The clubis motion pictures have proved valuable as an aid to the well planned program that Amelia Spina, chairman of program committee, spent hours preparing. The work of this program committee was to arrange the material they could obtain into suitable order. They then issued typed copies of these programs to the members of the club in order that they might know exactly what to anticipate.

Intra-mural Basketball At the completion of all but the intra-mural finals, Miss Herris group remained to compete with Mr. Coburn's boys for Basketball Championship. The Hnalists met on Monday, March 21, and after a ,hard fought battle between the two sophomore groups, Miss Herr's quintet came out victor with a 17 to 13 score. The entire team, composed of Edward Wright, Charles Wickwire, Ernest Siriani, Melvin Rippe, and Charles Palshis, worked as a unit. The excellent floorwork of the forwards and center kept the team on even terms with their opponentsg but whenever the guards saw that a point or two was needed, they were on hand to deliver the winning punch. George Swayka was the utility forward who furnished several points whenever substituted. Officials of the tournament put their heads together and chose the following official all-tournament team: Walter Zawada of Mr. Coburn's group and John. Hinckley of Mr. Wilson,s representatives as forwardsg Edward Wright of Miss Herr's champs at centerg at the guard positions were Floyd Grimm of Mr. Coburn's team and Alfred Senn of Mr. Wilson's quintet. Senn also was chosen captain of the all-star' team. Such unusual interest was shown in the basketball tournament under the sponsorship of Mr. H. F. Gonzales that the City of Bloom felt the same enthusiasm might be shown in Intra-Mural baseball played under a slightly different system. The baseball competition was conducted by Mr. R. F. Briggs, with all equipment being furnished by the City of Bloom. The plan has proved its worth, and it is earnestly believed that baseball has found a permanent position in inter-advisory group sports at Bloom. Page X8 Top rout John R.

Agricultural Club An organization composed entirely of boys was organized in September, in connection with the agricultural department which has been established for the purpose of training boys who might wish to follow agriculture as a vocation. Under the leadership of Mr. E. W. Rowley two classes were organized-one known as animal husbandry the other soils and crops. The former class had an enrollment of seventeen students, the latter a roster of eleven boys. During the year the boys entered various milk judging and dairy judging contests. In the state milk judging contest held at Urbana, Illinois, the young farmers took fourth place. They also won forty dollars in prize money at the poultry fair held at Paxton, Illinois. In the spring, the members were busily engaged in maintaining a green house with a capacity of 15,000 plants, at the Glenwood Manual Training School. Interested mem- bers often visited one another's farms where they judged cattle. One member of the agricultural class, Floyd Adair, had the distinction of being the state champion in the garden project. By virtue of winning this honor, Floyd attended as a delegate the National 4-H congress which was held during the International Live- stock Exposition at Chicago. Another unique feature that cooperated with this department was an evening school for adult farmers of the township. Such authorities as Mr. G. W. Boewe, University of Illinois entomologistg Mr. L. W. Brahm, Will County farm adviser, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Shropshire from the Cook County experiment station were engaged, also O. G. Barrett, Cook County farm adviser. Problems confronting the farmer were the subject of these various speeches. The attendance showed an average of forty-two farmer members. Franklin Krum, a student in this department, won second place in the Future Farmers Oratorical Contest held at Paxton, Illinois, where he received the Future Farmersi' medal.

Home Economics Club Bl0om's newest club, the Home Economics, is proving a great source of enjoyment for the girls. When the faculty of the Home Economics department, Miss Young and Miss Garrison, decided to sponsor a club that would be fitting to the work of their department, they were pleasantly surprised to find eighty-five girls present at their Hrst meeting. These girls expressed their enthusiasm and entered into the spirit of the organization promptly. They immediately elected their officers and appointed a program committee, but several of the members were forced to discontinue because of many other outside activities. This new organization has done much in one short year. It is already interesting the girls in matters pertaining to the home. One of the features of interest, thus far, was a program in which a speaker from the Public Service Company explained the proper way of lighting a room and showed the necessity of this type of lighting arrange- ment. The girls also made a trip to the Forster Textile Mills where they discovered the beauty of design and the method of weaving bedspreads and curtains. They had a food display in their department at which time Mr. Edward Eickhoff taught them how to choose choice cuts of meat. In addition to the lectures, another outstanding feature that must not be overlooked is the social training given the girls. At a tea which they served they learned the art of acting as hostesses, and at their meetings established a freer companionship among the four classes of which the club is composed. A special enjoyment of the club this year was a tour of inspection in the new school. The girls marveled at its splendor, and many of them had pleasant anticipa- tions of entering there next year.

The Library Club Education is a matter of personal development. In no department of Bloom is this fact more clearly demonstrated than in the library. Each day from 7:30 A. M. to 5:00 P. M. an effort is made to provide a study atmosphere, in which students, aided by all the books needed, may begin and finish an assignment alone. Silence is a necessity, students learn the need of self-control and self-discipline. Though overcrowded, the real student makes the best of things as they are, and succeeds in spite of them. To do at task well in a limited time is the Hnest of training. The mere mechanical handling of large numbers of books and students, which is a tremendous problem, is met in large part by the Library Club. The training for the girls of the B. L. C. falls into two distinct phases. During her daily hour of practical work at the desk the girl is trained in all manner of desk routine-checking, charging, shelving, and filing. This gives drill in orderliness, alertness, accuracy, and courteous service to others. Above all the really successful assistant learns to help both by thinking and by doing. The second phase consists of the weekly lecture hour, conducted by Miss Hess, who gives an insight into principles of library practice and economy. This is a fascinating field, concerned with all the courses offered in Bloom's curriculum. The purpose of library technique is to train the girls to be library-minded, to catch the vision of books in relation to life, and to know and love them by daily contact with them. 1932 has brought home to every student and teacher who has been a library user, the fact that much may be accomplished with limited space and crowded materials, and that only cooperation can overcome the many difficulties in the way of efficient service. Page 91 Howard Rollert Phyllis Reardon Ralph Einhorn Renata Pfeil EDITORS AND BUSINESS MANAGERS Bloom Staff The senior class, having been handicapped at the beginning of the new year with an empty treasury, finally, on the first of March, decided that with the support of parents and enthusiastic members of 9021: of the class, they might, by continued campaigning, edit their annual, and furthermore, keep to a standard on a par', with those issued in more prosperous years. Knowing that the compiling of a book, in the few weeks remaining after March, would be a most strenuous task, Miss Way, adviser, suggested that the closely elected editors, first and second choice, and likewise the business managers work together as co-editors and co-business-managers. This plan naturally fitted into a most satisfac- tory arrangement according to the dispositions and desires of these chosen. Renata Pfeil preferred planning the book while Phyllis Reardon early turned her attention to interpreting the beautiful theme and directing the divisional parts. As time went on, these two fields became so Closely knit together that the girls were found in the Bloom office working interchangeably on every phase of the Annual. Similar was the case of the managers. Ralph Einhorn, with his bookkeeping training, chose to take on the task of checking accounts and meeting budget requirements. Howard Rollert in the beginning declared his interest in the advertising field, and worked with a small but efficient staff under the direction of Mr. Lare. The joy of anticipation of these co-workers, in seeing their efforts moulded into book form, far excelled the arduous labours of daily planning, uniting, correcting, and editing copy. Particularly interesting was the development of the cameo theme which fitted so perfectly into the atmosphere of this year with its continued crowded conditions, and handicaps. The art work, illustrations, attractive lettering, etc., grew rapidly in Miss Ash's department. Economy was the keynote of this staff of four. By cutting down on the number of pages, the color work, and athletics, quite a reduction in cost was effected.

The Broadcaster The Broadcaster, Bloom's four page, bi-weekly student publication, has completed its eighth year of service to the students as an organ of news, with the school policy expressed in its platform. It functions as a medium through which all members of the school become acquainted with what other divisions are doing, and those who are merely onlookers in high school life are afforded a pleasi-ng and accurate record of its activities. This year, the Broadcaster staff, with unusual vim and vigor, set out to publish a better paper than had yet been edited in Bloom High School, basing its efforts OIT. the experience of past staffs. The future was indeed rosy. The paper was well on its way toward being the most successful financially, when a run on the bank in which the funds were deposited closed that ave-nue of resource. Undaunted, however, the man- agers pushed campaigns by which the paper was able to carry on. The staff wrote several exceptionally good articles which were submitted as part of Bloom's entries to the Writers' Tournament held in April. This contest was sponsored by the Greater Chicago Scholastic Press Guild, of which Bloom is a member. This year the Broadcaster editor was chosen to preside over one of the Press Guild round tables, on annuals, thus linking Bloom more closely to Chicagoland schools. Other high lights of the year included state and national press conventions. At the state convention, held at Champaign, the Broadcaster again received distinguished rating. The final triumph of the year came at the annual G. C. S. P. A. luncheon in May, at which time the prizes for the best work in the Writers' Tournament were awarded.

Girls Glee Club The girls of the Glee Club are bound together by a warm feeling of companionship and common joy in music. Each year the new girls who are chosen wonder at this bond-then settle into the group to enjoy itg and the older girls welcome them gladly and make them feel at home. Thus the club, though often changed in composition, is always made up of thirty-six girls all working in unison and enjoying the work. This feeling is developed both during the practice periods on Tuesday of each week, and at their public appearances where the girls have the thrill of entertaining other people. This year they first appeared at the Lincoln Dixie Theatre in a musical program sponsored by the Woman's Club. On this occasion they sang a group of Christmas carols and later, during the actual Christmas season, they spread cheer with these carols at an evening theatre program, and, in the morning, at the St. james Hospital, and through the streets of town. About the middle of March, Miss Bliss began work with both clubs on In Wood- landf' a descriptive spring Cantata, which was presented during music week in May. The girls, lovely in light, colorful frocks, embodied the very spirit of spring on this occasion.

Boys Glee Club With only six boys of last year's members available, Miss Bliss was confronted with the problem of finding eleven new members for her club. This required many try-outs of would-be croonersf' In due time, Thomas Bonick, Ralph Einhorn, Gilbert Fink, Raymond Logan, Elwood Nelson, Henry Nicolai, John Paris, Clarence Prebstle, Charles Simonetti, and Casimir Waszkowicz were selected to carry on the work. These new members, with the old ones, were divided into first and second tenors, and first and second basses. At the second semester, Paul Mernitz was chosen to replace DeWitt LaNoue, who, because of a change in his program, was compelled to withdraw. The Glee Club launched its initial appearance in the gymnasium at the last Bloom- Thornton football pep meeting. Two numbers were rendered at that time, and were greeted with thunderous approval by the student body. The Glee Club made the accustomed Christmas rounds of spreading the Noel tidings in the High School, and prominent places about town. On another occasion the boys were flSliCKl to Slllg ata Bloom Mllslclllc Pr0grL1l11 VVITCYI tlilc Yvholc student body Llttcndcd. The next appearance of the organization occurred at the Washington School Audi- torium, where they sang between the acts at the performance of Alison's House, a play, as a civic benefit. given by the National Thespians, Troupe 184. Perhaps the club's greatest achievement was the spring Cantata, ln Woodl11nd. rendered during music week. They appeared at the Bloom High and Wasliington Junior. The Boys Glee Club rehearsed the third hour every Monday during the yearg but despite these short rehearsals, a practically new organization, in due time, displayed great talent. The club elected the following officers: President, Charles Kappmeyerg Treasurer, Orval Morton, and Librarian, Casimir Vfaszkowicz.

Coe Orchestra The Bloom orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Coe, has been especially active this year in training freshmen for membership. A new feature introduced by Mr. Coe is the second orchestra, which practices twice a week. This is composed of a majority of freshmen, who need special training in ensemble playing, are very diligent in their efforts to become better musicians, and will be included in the regular orchestra when they have attained the requirements. The ambition of every aspiring member of the orchestra is a recommendation for membership in the Illinois All-State Orchestra, which is composed of the best orchestra players in the State of Illinois. This organization meets annually, in conjunction with the Illinois State Teachers' convention in November. The highest distinction awarded to high school musicians is membership in the National High School Orchestra, whose roster includes high school players from 42 states of the Union and Alaska. This orchestra performs biennially for the Music Supervisors' National Conference. This year three Bloom soloists, Mildred Langbehn, Constantine Lisciani, and Emily Ohlendorf, were elected to membership in the All-State Orchestra at Urbana, November 18, 19, 20. Mildred and Emily were also performers in the' National High School Orchestra, which met in Cleveland, Ohio, April 3-8. The appearance of the Orchestra in the season 1931-1932 follows: Three One Acts, Fall Co-ncert, Spring Concert, Senior Class Play. The high school Dance Or- chestra is the first of its kind - to be sponsored by Bloom. The orchestra was organized for the benefit of the school by Mr. Coe, who felt the need of better dance music for social hours. The mem- bers are Orval Morton, Ern- est Gerardi, Donald Herman, Thomas Bonick, Constantine Lisciani, Octavio Narcissi, Robert Hills, Bernard Stuem- ple, William Groom, Caw- drey Miller, Joseph Colvert, and Charles Kappmeyer.

Crumb Bloom Band The Bloom Band of fifty pieces, the largest group the high school has yet assembled, rehearsed after school three days each week-Monday, Wed'nesday, and Friday-at the Swedish Baptist church. During the early autumn season the time was spent in march- ing and formation drillg they were able to function by playing at all home football games, at the annual clash at Thornton, and at several pep meetings held in the gymnasium. The band also aided in an Armistice Day celebration and the cornerstone ceremonies ot New Bloom. Bloom, soloists who entered the Illinois District Solo Contest were rated in three classes-l'Superior rating, Wilmer Irwing Excellent', performance, Oliver Glawe, Mildred Langbehn, Richard McClanahang Good work, Irma Punt. The band also earned laurels at the Illinois District Contest, winning third place in Class A. The smallest organization in the competition, Bloom was ranked high among the larger bands, whose complete instrumentation and better facilities for practicing afforded them a great advantage over bands not so fortunate. A concert was presented in the fall, another in the spring, and a third during National Music Week when the combined bands of Chicago Heights displayed the rapid develop- ment of young musicians locally. In April Mildred, Langbehn represented Bloom at the Music Supervisors' National Conference at Cleveland, Ohio, where she performed in the National High School Orchestra, which provided music for the convention. During the week of the confer- ence the orchestra rehearsed eight hours a day and gave two concerts, both of which were broadcast.

Bloom Musicale The Bloom Musicale, an organization whose object is to furnish opportunities for advanced students to express their individual ability, has offered delightful entertainment this year, for its membership includes thc cream of Bloom's young musicians. Bi-weekly meetings, which occur Tuesdays after school, are presided over by a pro- gram chairman, appointed for each meeting by the president. Members of the club perform before an audience consisting of active and associate members. Active members, whose election is the decision of a committee of judges at a try-out, perform at the various programs for the club. Associate members include musical stu- dents, Who attend meetings but take no active part except as an audience. From this audience a music critic is appointed at each meeting who, at the close of the program, cnumerates the good and bad points of the entertainment. Outside talent is sometimes invited to entertain the club. This year the members had the pleasure of hearing Marcel Vidal and Mrs. Margaret Quinn-Fox, local pianists, Mr. Gene Alders, favorite organist and pianist, Vernon Ehlers, a competent cellist from Beecher High School, and Mr. Ralph Coe, a faculty member, who plays the euphonium. Officers of the Musicale are elected annually. This year Charles Kappmeyer and Constantine Lisciani shared the responsibilities of president, each officiating one semesterg Dorothy Angus is acting secretary, and Orval Morton controls finances. An open Bloom Musicale program was presented for the student assembly at which the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs assisted.

Bloom Dramatics With the growth of Bloom this year came an expansion of the Dramatic Art Depart- ment. The old club with its try-out system for entrance was replaced by Bloom's mem- bers of the National Thespian Society, and by two dramatic art classes. These were advanced and beginning groups, open to any student having a UB average in speech or by special permission. Once a week the classes combined for business meetings, special talks, or to witness plays-the casts acted and directed by members. In order to give members an early opportunity to gain Thespian credit, three one- act plays were presented for the public, November 19th and 20th. The plays were a fantasy, Boy Blue g a melodrama, Message from Khufung and a rollicking comedy, Grandma Pulls the Strings. The advanced class presented as their Christmas project, The Nine Who Were Mother, at two assemblies. During the Christmas holidays nine new members were initiated into Thespians and celebrated by a theatre party to Grand Hotel, in Chicago. Meanwhile, members were creating and acting out many skits, good, bad, and indif- ferent to pep up our sport season. The second semester began with a Bi-centennial play in honor of Washington's anni- versary, Decision at Dawn,', presented for two assemblies and an evening meeting of the P. T. A. Class projects continued, and then finally the Thespians-members now in school and those of last year-made their public debut on April first and second by successfully presenting Susan Glaspel,s Alison's House, the Pulitzer Prize play of 1931. The production was assisted by the Dramatic Art members. As the year closes, all Senior members are working on stage and off to make the Senior Class Play a success.

Dramatic Projects Christmas offered an opportunity for further dramatic activity. just before the holidays the advanced class of Thespians presented a one act play, The Nine Who Were Mother, before two assemblies. The cast of this play consisted of Edna Richey, Ralph Einhorn, Loretta Johnson, Renata Pfeil, Herbert Cohrs, Leona Barrett, Margretta Degitz, Mardis Compton and Robert Anderson. Don Easterday was stage manager. At the turn of the semester special class projects were carried out, being presented before the Dramatic Art classes.

The play was staged at the Washington School because of more spacious quarters. This comedy, which centered about the family of an American business man who has a genius for making money, but not a trace of talent for managing his own family, gives the theme of the action. Seemingly, the only hold he has over this selfish, ex- travagant family is his check-book. Although these relatives are foiled in their at- tempt to get rid of him, he decides that he needs a rest badly. He arranges to change places with his business manager who has always longed for a home, and he departs for the upper regions of the Amazon. In due time, the new father finds himself con- fronted by the same hurricane of flippancy and terrific bills. As a desperate remedy, he deludes the family into thinking that Mr. King's rubber business is ruined. The humorous episodes of the play are portrayed in the way the family meets the emergency. The occasion brings out all their better characteristics. THE CAST Mr. King, well-to-do business man ,.............. ...... B lair Peterson Eva, his younger daughter .,.........,......... .,..

Page 108 FEATURES ..- f ' in A Modern Utopia Off the southern mainland of the Italian peninsula on the Adriatic lies the island of Adriamania, where exists neither lawyer nor politician. No government exists there because the people have no use for it, and, after all, if people are as honest and simple as the Adriamanians, why should there be a system of laws telling one what to do and not to dog setting a penalty for this and for that, a law forcing an honest individual to pay an excessive amount of money to keep a group of magnates in office? There are some old natives who record the time it was so cold that they had to wear two shirts, and that the horses on the farm worked most energetically to the utmost sur- prise of the farmer. Nearly every family has a farm of fifteen acres, wherein there is an orchard of orange, fig, lemon, olive, and chestnut trees, and an abundance of grapes. The farmer pays particular attention to raising his cattle, poultry, and especially to his crops of beans, corn, tomatoes, peas, etc. Great is his exultation if his crops or cattle are healthier than those of his neighbors and superior to them. The fisherman, usually the son of a farmer, often touches the Italian coast and brings back coffee, sugar, and soap, which he obtains in exchange for a favorite sea food. The small amount of money which some of the seamen bring home, is chiefly Italian liras and of no value whatever to the inhabitants of Adriamania. Occasionally, the men kill a sheep or other animals, and the women of the household spin the Wool, and weave it into cloth. Olives, which the natives manufacture into pure olive oil, grow more abundantly in southern Europe than in any other place on earth. As to breadmaking, there is no other substance that makes a bread more nourishing than corn. However, this does not mean that everything the natives use is made from corn flour, for grain is also grown by some farmers, who later exchange it for corn. Who can prohibit the natives from making their own salt from the water of the Adriatic? If nature endows them with such a gift, why should anyone prohibit them from making a substance needful to man? I don't want to give the impression that all the inhabitants are either farmers or fishermen, because there are also a music teacher, an instrument maker, and men who specialize, such as blacksmiths, shoemakers, and barbers. Here, my dear reader, a barber is a real barber, the music teacher, although he plays a mandolin and guitar and probably a violin not as skillfully, teaches the children to play the native dances and canzonettas on their instruments. The manufacturer of these instruments, an expert connoisseur of wood, produces an instrument perfect as to tone quality and resonance. When a barber is called to a home, he gives every man and boy in that household a haircut, and in return he is laden with meat, bread, and all kinds of fruits and nuts. Perhaps in another home a lady who is well skilled in the art of sewing, promises the barber a shirt and pair of trousers. Likewise, the shoemaker, blacksmith, and others have the same experience. However, when the music teacher comes to give the boy his lessons, he is held more in esteem. He stays for supper, and in the evening both the boy and his instructor play, while the members of the family sit around listening to their son, who is with diiliculty trying to keep up to the maestro's tempo, meanwhile, the mother, every now and then, steals a careful glance at the roasting chestnuts, which are crackling and emitting a tempting odor from the grate on the fireplace. A year of drought has never been recorded in that island, since there is no winter, each crop is planted, according to moons, the exact day of the year. How can depression ever exist in ideal Adriamania? CONSTANTINE LISCIANI Page 109 In Defense of Day-Dreaming In the first place, what is day-dreaming? Webster would define it as the act of having visionary fancies. I would call it the wandering of the mind into abstract realms of thought. When a person does day-dream, he is not thinking about anything in par- ticular but about a thousand and one things in general. These thousand and one things tend to produce a state of temporary mental inactivity to which the person afflicted succumbs in the form of a reverie. If we were to seek the origin of day-dreaming, we would be tackling a problem such as: How long is infinity? We do not know exactly when the earth was created or what time any type of life arrived, but one thing we can safely say is that when man first appeared, so did day-dreaming. Now the arguments. an Why did an old proverb go thus: All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. Was it not to prevent Jack from working too hard? Did it ever occur to you why sanitariums exist? They are built for those poor persons who have overtaxed their minds to such an extent that they have become physical wrecks. They remain at the sanitariums to recuperate their cerebrums by relaxation. Now, dear reader, I hope you won't think that I am a good-for-nothing who frowns upon work, because, on the contrary, I think work is the next best thing for a person. But enough of that. Going back to the proverb, what does play mean? Generalizing it, it would mean diversion. Is day-dreaming diversion? Is it not play of the mind? Therefore, being of the aiiirma- tive, I would now deem it necessary to prove that kind of dreaming constructive play. Take the case of the poor, defenseless student, at the mercy of his teachers at all times. Ah, but his life is drudgery! Just one class after another, one lecture after another, probably one D after another. After school he must go home, for if he remains at school for purposes other than scholastic work, his parents call up the principal and ask what time school is dismissed. At home he takes a nibble at some food, studies, eats dinner, studies again, and then to bed. Up next morning at seven and the daily grind is repeated again. What would happen to his brain cells if he didn't indulge in diver- sions? And isn't day-dreaming the logical thing to do? Its accomplishments are two- fold. It relaxes his mind and it may develop an idea which would be useful later. Now, students, this dreaming is an unintentional art which cannot be performed at any time you wish. Before a dream can be produced, your mind must be saturated with confused ideas which the professor is trying to drive home. In this chaotic state the turbulent thoughts must slowly sink into oblivion, and then the dream begins. Thus saturation produces precipitation in the form of a day-dream. It would be well to add here a note of warning to students exercising this gentle art. You know, teachers are very prejudiced and narrow-minded on this subject, therefore it behooves us students to be on cautionis wing. When a teacher fires a question at you and you are caught red- handed in the act, retain your poise, slowly contract your brow about one-eighth of an inch Qhowever, don't take time to measurej at the same time squinting your eyes, and appear engrossed in deep thought. After a moment's pause that refreshes, confusedly say, I don't quite understand the question. You are sure to compel the instructor to repeat the question in different words, and everything is all right-if you know the ZHSWCL Now take the sad case of some forlorn jazz-composer or a dejected lyric writer who can't produce a song because of his lack of imagination, or inspiration, if you want to call it such. Too bad he can't day-dream, one would say, sympathetically. However, Page 110 this is just an example because our musical repertoire wouldn't be blessed with such popular hits if it weren't for the highly imaginative, romantic writers. In enumerating, we must not forget the inventor, whose ideas seem impractical to everyone but himself but who makes fools of them all by inventing something ingenious. Whence came his revolutionary ideas? He might have obtained a foundation in knowl- edge, but not without display of his originality would he be capable of striking on an idea. And how is this originality got? By imagination. And how is this imagination got? By dreaming of some sort-why not day-dreaming? We could continue listing illustrations for various arguments, but what's the use? I'm not getting paid for this and anyway the teacher has to read it-and she's being paid for that, and for those who are not convinced yet, remember Shakespeare, Napoleon, and Edison were all day-clreamers. Earl Schafner HOUSES I'd like to have a little house High upon a hill. Or down below in valley green Built beside a rill. I'd like to have a white house- just big enough for me, I'd like to have it looking Out upon the sea. If I could have my houses just where I want them all, I fear I'd have too many. Their beauty then would pall. So I'll just have my little room To dream and plan and browse, In which I can imagine I'm in my own small house. Dora Worthy Page 111 Beauty O moon, Orb of delight, Hanging low Over the ragged dunes, Silhouetting the dark Pine trees, Silvering the sands, You are beautiful- Yet you are cold. You but reflect The fire. and life and Warmth Of the sung And still your beauty- That of lifeless gold And withered shadows- Haunts me. Power Trust O wind, How strong you seem To us-mere mortals- How wild! Your gripping, invisible talons Snatching the foliage From the hill-tops, Tearing the calm lake Into heaving billows, Flinging the foam and spray, Taking the autumn leaves Flying with you across The hills and valleys- O Wind, How strong you seem to us! And yet, to God You are the stirring of his hand, Little star, Caught in the lacy net Of the linden tree, Are you afraid?- Afraid of the vastness Of the dark skies above? Afraid of the creeping wind That whispers eerily Through the grasses? Or of the encircling clasp Of the linden leaves? Don't be afraid, For there is God, Who made the dark skies, And the breeze, that even now Stirs the linden leaves And sets you free. The Whisper of his will. Mary Neville Walter Page 112 On Being Amused In an age of Rotarians, Babbitts, mass enjoyment, women's clubs, and good fellows, I refuse to lose my identity and become one of the mob in my mode of enjoyment. Per- haps I am a boreg at least I am not a good sport. Maybe I am biased, at least I am different. I nurture my ego. I do not let that ego become submerged. I glory in being myself. While the mob pities me, I revel in my freedom. I enjoy the game of follow the leader as a spectator. May I present a few interesting scenes from my point of vantage? My boss is terrible! Do you know what he made me do today? He, etc., etc. says one of the order of good sports. And my boss, etc., etc.,', chime in others of that loyal order. Supreme martyrdom. Luscious enjoyment! Dramatic eloquence! Babbling voices! Endless topic! Mob enjoyment-good sports! Not one of that order dares utter a state- ment to the effect that her work is quite pleasant and that her employer is quite human. The mob enjoys martyrdom and self pity. The mob, like a pack of beasts falling upon prey, click their tongues and eat their topic up alive. I am the poor quiet girl because I refuse to become allied to these modern martyrs. It is interesting to listen to these earnest outpourings of minds containing nothing else to pour out. They pity me. I laugh inwardly at their pity. I am thoroughly enjoying myself, but in a different way. Hello there, old chap! I know you, but I can't recall your name. You're of the class of-and your name is-? Oh, yes, I remember you now. Meet Mr. - of thc class of -. Handshakes all around follow. Each poor victim at a university alumni meeting goes through the same formula. With eyes glistening, the poor alumnus feels that now he is meeting real individuals, a social crowd with high mental attainments. He believes that every time his name is mentioned or remembered he has made an impression and secured a friend. Poor soul- he is but being initiated into the mob-the loyal order of good fellows. The handshake and greeting is that of a good fellow acting according to fraternal formula. Soon this glistening-eyed alumnus, becoming imbued with the spirit of the occasion, loses himself behind the smiling mask of fraternalism. He sings and shouts the name of his alma mater, he recalls the pranks of his college days, he gets up and delivers a speech which in its essence is a re-echo of other,loyal speeches of other true alumni. He becomes a good sport-a loyal alumnus. I do not have to give a speech, I am merely a visitor. Ienjoy this spectacle of conventionalized behavior. It does not awaken in me the desire to become an alumnus. I seek the friendship of individuals, not of mobs. I am not a good sport nor a good mixer. Summer comes. The great outdoors calls. Camping is in the air. I go camping with a crowd. We live in dirt, eat food mixed with dirt, swim in dirty water, sleep on hard camp beds in a closed tent, yet we call this mixture of dirt and discomfort a good time. No one dares relax. All must follow the leader. One night-and I leave the wide open spaces. I can enjoy the great outdoors sans dirt and discomfort. I enjoy the personal comforts that civilization has brought. I desire to take nature more reflectively and less intensively. Oh, you ,must go to see Paul Ash! I-Ie's wonderful! And so I go to see, or perhaps hear, Paul Ash at the Oriental Theatre, the magnificence of which almost amounts to gaudiness. I stand in line for an hour. Paul Ash will have to be wonderful to soothe my tired feet. I sit through a comic picture. All this torture I go through for the unknown, the wonderful Paul Ash. At last the curtain rises. A smiling, commonplace individual with unusual curly hair greets the audience while his orchestra accompanies his greetings with shrill nasal tunes. My feet still ache from the long wait, my intellect is still insulted by the foolish picture even though Paul Ash has Page 113 appeared. When he leaves the stage for a moment, the audience claps him back. They want more of Paul Ash. He steps down into the audience in regular Al Jolson fashion, and the joy of the mob reaches frenzied heights. Paul Ash is among them. As an artist he has nothing distinctive to offerg he is merely a specialist in the art of good fellowship. The mob seeks nothing distinctive for its enjoyment. The mob enjoys Paul Ash. I am slightly bored. I like my theatre to be unobtrusive, the splendor of the large picture palaces oppresses me. I like the performer and his vehicle to be distinctly different. I take the theatre seriously. To me it is a form of mental enjoyment and a means of enlarging my experiences. I demand of it an inner appeal. Paul Ash is of the mob, by the mob, and representative of the mob. I refuse to become a Paul Ash worshipper. I go to a dance. My partner desires to give me a good time. I merely desire to sit and watch che whirling crowd go by. Poor fools! They labor so hard for' their good time. All faces are set and heated as they go dancing by. The music is sensuous and brittle to the ear. Without a moment's relaxation all whirl into the next danceg one must keep going in order to have a good time. Their pitying glances often fall on me-the poor wall flower by choice. I lose all desire td go through the labored steps of a modern dance asI watch the, feverish mob go by. The mingling of the colors of the women's dresses is the only harmonious item in the unharmonious whole. Perhaps, I have been too critical from my place of vantage as a spectator. However, therein lies my enjoyment, in that way am I amused. Perhaps my criticism is merely an expression of natural indolence which keeps me from being a participant in the strenuous activities of the mobg however, I choose to be indolent. Rachel Rosen Tomorrow As I Should Like to Spend It The blue curve of the dreamy Mediterranean Sea, the sloping hills that tumble down gradually, the gray rocks rising behind sifting, yellow sand-all have always held for me a fascination. So tomorrow, when I am to do as I please, I'll transport myself in some miraculous way to that land of beauty. I'll take up my short residence in a villa overlooking the sea-a white villa with clinging vines, and vivid flowers, and a bright red-tile roof, I hope. There'll be a pre- cipitous path plunging down the steep hill to a beach of gold. And ahead, lying serenely peaceful under the torrid glances of the sun, will be the Mediterranean. She knows so much, for did not the ships of the Phoenicians and Greeks and Persians ply her waters? Did she not see the rising billows of smoke from burning Carthage? All day I can lie on the beach and swim in the azure Waters. Then in the evening, there'll be the dark, deep sky with a million lustrous stars and a moon of silver. The gentle ebbing of the sea on the sand will sing me to sleep, but I'll wake up in my own bed under a cold, drab November sky.

The year is over, but the memory lingers on, and we must admit that it is to the originality of Samuel Pepys, that fam- ous eighteenth century diarist, that We owe the style and theme of this calendar. LUMNI-and now the cameo of student training and character forming has found its setting- graduates of old Blooin have discovered the most appropriate casings for their ahilities-each beautiful though vastly different. The simple gold frames of the ordinary folk enhance their inodesty, shining with quiet achieve- ment and sterling worth. There are more ornate settings for those whose lahours were destined to become outstanding-delicate filigree grace those of the learned, hrilliant jewels flash from those of the illustrious. Each one filling his niche in life to the best of his ability is ever a worthy child of Bloom-true to his Alina Mater. Alumni Section This alumni section grew out of suggestions last autumn by a number of alumni. Mr. Emmett Richards of the class of 1906 suggested, that, since this was the last issue from Old Bloom, former graduates might be glad to aid the 1932 class by submitting interesting facts and purchasing a book. Ellen Caskey of the class of '24 took over the work of compiling this section from the responses to questionnaires sent to repre- sentatives of all classes since 1901. 1895 A report from Mary L. Angus, widow of the late George S. Angus, who served many years on the High School board, reminds us how Bloom has grown in the last 37 years, for Mrs. Angus was one of a graduating class of four! The other three are: W. T. Wiederhold, Geneva, New York, Vernon W. Wallace, Chicago Heights, and Mrs. H. W. Otis, DeKalb, Illinois, all living. Three of Mrs. Angus' children are now attending Bloom. 1902 Thirty years of continuous employ- ment with one company is the record of Nelson E. Helme, who has been assistant cashier, Chicago and Eastern Illinois Rail- way, Chicago, ever since 1902. His wife is the former Helen B. Wood. '02 Anita Berolzheimer considers her greatest achievement, Acquiring a sense of humor -and says that she has no special interesting facts about herself. We disagree as we read her history since graduating from Bloom. She received while in her third year at Bloom a State Scholarship. This entered her at Illinois University--after Illinois, she attended the University of Chicago, Northwestern School of Social Research, and the New York School of Social Life. She has for years been engaged in social work in New York City. Page 1 26 1904 Judson R. Leonard, who is married to Helen Gjerde, another Bloom graduate, is now inventory and order clerk for the Advance Oil Company in Chicago Heights. 1905 We read a great deal of fiction about men who start at the bottom and rise to executive positions, but when a man actually achieves such a record it's news. Charles F. Meyers has done just that, for he is now vice-president and cashier of the First National Bank of Chicago Heights, where he started working Janu- ary 16, 1905, five months before his graduation from Bloom. Even so, Mr. Meyers claims as his greatest achievement not his business career, but the fact that he is raising four children--one a gradu- ate of Bloom, one a junior, and two still in grade school. '05 It may be of interest to know that my class was the first one to publish a year book, writes Clara Mundt Pfeil. We did this under Prof. Sargent's direc- tion. Charles Meyers, a member of '05, is living in Chicago Heights now, and Margaret Spencer, a Chicago teacher, is living in Morgan Park. Mrs. Pfeil's present occupation is trying to raise properly a family of two boys and a girl. My oldest son at present is a junior at Bloom. Mrs. Pfeil, who is a graduate of the Chicago Teachers' College, taught in the Chicago Heights schools for five years. 1906 Florence Pedersen QMrs. Lee Carrierj states that her greatest achievement is rearing four children. Her son, William, is now at Ann Arbor studying law. '06 Several important inventions patented and put on the market are listed to the credit of G. H. Myrick. A clothes washer, electric meters, welding wire pat- ents now on a dishwasher, and a drinking fountain are some of the most outstand- ing. Mr. Myrick is now consulting en- gineer working on the mechanical and electrical equipment of the Kohler Cor- poration which is a branch of the Mayo Clinic. He has a B. S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Illi- nois where he was a member of Sigma Xi. He is also a member of A. S. M. E. 1908 Mrs. Edward M. Farrar sends greetings to the Bloom Staff-and continues, We are proud of the progress Bloom High has made and the place she holds in the memories of those who have graduated. The leaving of Old Bloom for the new is another indication of her steady growth. 1909 Mr. C. J. Berolzheimer, manager and director of the Diamond Braiding Mills of Chicago Heights, completed his course in Ag at the University of Illinois. He married Julia Siefer, Class of 1911. '09 The year following Principal E. L. Boyer's entrance at Bloom High, saw the graduation of his daughter, Ruth. She is now Mrs. Edward A. Smith. She says that her eldest son will enter as a fresh- man at Bloom next February, 1933. 1911 Sending best wishes for great success in the last Bloom to go out from the old building, Charles L. Trowbridge writes that his work as instructor in landscape gardening and agricultural mechanics at the High School in Turlock, California, grows more interesting each year. Mr. Trowbridge is a graduate of the Uni- versity of Illinois and is married to the former Clare Ethel Dolph of Des Moines, Iowa. 1913 C. E. Motlong is practicing dentistry in Rochelle, Illinois. Mr. Motlong took his degree in dental surgery at the Uni- versity of Illinois School of Dentistry. He was married in 1923 to Pearl C. Hanson. '13 Howard Berolzheimer, graduate at Northwestern University 1923-25 is now an instructor at Northwestern. He mar- ried last year Isabelle Corothers QLou of Clara, Lou 'n' Em, Radio Trioj . Howard says he considers one of his great achieve- ments was climbing the flagpole at Bloom. He writes, I am amazed at find- ing so many sons and daughters of my classmates registered in leading universi- ties, and sometimes one enters my own class. 1914 There are more interesting facts about raising three youngsters than there is time or space to tell, writes Verna Clark Yentzer. Although shc says noth- ing about it, Mrs. Yentzer also manages to find time to be very useful in the club and social activities of Chicago Heights. '14 From Gulfport, Mississippi, W. T. Woleber reports that his educational record since 1914 was: Dartmouth 1914-15, University of Illinois 1915- 1918 fB.S.j. He is now Superintendent of Orange Grove Consolidated school six miles from Gulfport. His greatest achievement was Ensign V.S.N.R.F. in the World War and athletic director of Lincoln College 24-29. He married Ernestinc McManus. Page I 27 1915 Old Bloomites will be reminded of a high school romance when they read a report from Helen Rohe Gjerde and M. D. Gjerde. They were married in 1920 and have two daughters, aged four and six. Mrs. Gjerde took her B. A. degree from Rockford College in 1919 and Melvin graduated from Purdue University with a B. S. in M. P. He is now a member of the technical division of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. 1916 From Walter Freese, who has the dis- tinction of having been both student and teacher at Bloom, comes this word: It seems as though it were just yesterday that I was cutting cardboard mounts for Annual pictures and making a lattice- work background for the May Festival. It is difficult to believe that soon the scenes of these and related activities will change. I've been getting numerous re- ports about the marvels and beauties of the new building. I must pay both the new and present buildings a visit very soon. Mr. Freese is now teacher of machine drawing and machine shop at Lindblom High School, in Chicago. He thinks his greatest achievement is the checking of some of the major steel work drawings of several Chicago skyscrapers and a few bridges of the country. He credits his success largely to the influ- ence of Bloom's staff f1913 to 1916j, especially of jovial Mr. Dyer, in his in- sistence on mastery of fundamentals. '16 After taking courses at Lewis Institute of Technology and Armour Institute, R. M. Sandberg now holds position of Man- ager of Columbia Tool Steel Company, Chicago Heights, the only tool steel plant west of Pittsburgh. 1917 Six years of successful teaching was the record of Mrs. Edna Hansen North -who graduated from Northwestern University-and later majored in speech and dramatics at Northwestern, Colum- bia University, and University of Iowa. Edna was a most successful teacher. She Page 128 married Dr. Will Carleton North, grad- uate of Iowa University. She is now training her six-weeks' old daughter in the art of speech. '17 Two young sons, eight and ten years old, keep Sadye Seifer Gordon busy these days. Before her marriage she attended the University of Chicago for two years and studied interior decorating at the Art Institute for one year. Mrs. Gordon lives in Flossmoor. '17 As general manager of the Better Busi- ness Bureau of Detroit, Inc., H. I. McEl- downey, better known as Irv, is help- ing to suppress fraud and misrepresenta- tion in the advertising and sale of mer- chandise and securities. He modestly admits that his greatest achievement was graduation from Bloom by proxy. Irv was one of the boys whose high school career was interrupted by the World War. The former Mildred IM. Motlong of Crete, is his wife. They have one child. '17 Buying a house in the third year of the depression is what Paul Burkholder lists as his greatest achievement ! Paul is in charge of sales to insurance com- panies for Remington Rand Inc., and now lives in Highland Park, Illinois. He married Ruth Johnson of Chicago, a cousin of Grace Steger, '17, after receiv- ing his A.B. degree from the University of Michigan in 1921. '17 Although Frances Wiehl Deaton has a distinguished record behind her as head of the Department of English in the Junior College at Jefferson City, Mis- souri, she says that her greatest achieve- ment still lies before her-to bring up her baby daughter, Patricia Ann, in a befitting fashion. Mrs. Deaton was awarded an B.A. degree from Northwest- ern University in 1922 and received her M.A. in 1928. Her husband, Mr. C. Deaton, is principal of the Jefferson City Senior High School. 1918 Mention of far places and numerous university degrees catches the eye as one glances down the letter received from V. Raymond Edman. He married Edith M. Olson at Ambato, Ecuador, in 1925. For five years he and his wife were in South America where they established missionary schools. Here is the lineup of Ray's education: University of Illi- nois, 1919-1921g Columbia University, 19223 Boston University, 1922-1923, A. B. 19235 Assistant in American His- tory, Clark University, Worcester, Mass., 1929-1932, M. A. 1930. Besides all that, he sandwiched in military service with the medical detachment of the 28th U. S. Infantry, First Division A. E. F., 1918 to 1919. At present he is clergyman at Worcester, Massachusetts, and assistant in American and English history at Clark University. He is preparing to take his Ph.D. in June 1933, fifteen years after graduating from Bloom. Each of my two spheres of activity, he writes, is divided into two parts. The church work is two-fold, a 'regular' church and a 'ra- dio church' over station WORC. The Edmans have three sons, Charles, Roland, and David. '18 Walter F. Hoeppner, physician and surgeon, writes that his greatest achieve- ment has been being able to complete my professional education and to secure an interneship in the Cook County Hos- pital, the largest hospital in the United States. Walter is married to the former Catherine E. Harvey. He has a B. S. degree from the University of Chicago and his M. D. from Rush Medical College. 1919 John c. Michalek, B. s., M. s., Ph.D., is now research chemist at the Mathieson Alkali Works, Incorporated, Niagara Falls, New York. His degrees were all taken at the University of Illinois. About his very important work he has this to say: It is quite inspiring to be in the midst of the electro-chemical industry of this country. Unfortunately the con- fidential nature of research work in the alkali-chlorine industry makes it impos- sible to speak of anything We are engaged in doing until adequate patent protection is obtained, and of course by that time such things are almost ancient history. Stop to consider how closely alkali and chlorine affect your daily life and you will see into how many interesting fields the pursuit of knowledge about alkali and chlorine and their uses can lead one. John says he cannot claim any greatest achievements because he thinks every- thing he has done has been due so much to others. But, he adds, maybe that realization will do as an achievement. John was married to Gladys Irene Apple- gate in 1928. 1920 Frances Mount Macke says there are plenty of interesting facts about her pres- ent occupation as wife and mother of a quite new daughter, but they are not for publication! Frances is a graduate of James Milliken University where she studied library science. She was assistant librarian at that college from 1925 to 19293 supplying librarian, Evanston High School, 1930, and cataloguer, National College of Education, Evanston, 1930 to '31. '20 Thomas E. Hunt is another doctor of philosophy who once attended Bloom. He received his final degree from the Uni- versity of Chicago in 1929. His A. B. he received from Earlham College in 1925, and he is now assistant professor of histology and embryology at the Uni- versity of Alabama School of Medicine. He has published some important scien- tific papers on the subject of experi- mental embryology. His wife was Miss Eleanor A. Abrams. '20 Chicago Heights citizens and Bloom students hardly need to be told what Lillian Peterson is doing, for she is well known as a public health nurse in the city. No wonder she is efficient, for she writes that she enjoys her work every minute of the day. Miss Peterson gradu- ated from the Swedish Covenant Hospital Nurses Training Course in 1924. Violet Millis Thomas is married to John Edward Thomas. They have two children, Gloria Mary and Thomas Owen. Page 129 1921 Charles Brooks, pastor of the First Christ Church at Hoopeston, Illinois, writes interestingly of his work in this church, which is now entering its fifth year and which is having particular suc- cess in the field of religious education. Previous to this position, Charles had an important part in completing the church building at Marlon, Oklahoma, and he has been dean of Young People's Con- ferences in W. S. for W. C. M. S. Dis- ciples of Christ. His A. B. and M. A. degrees he took at Phillips University, Enid, Oklahoma, which he attended for five years. Some of us can remember that Charles also made some important achievements before he graduated from Bloom-namely, on the football team. He is married to Veral W. Peck, Bloom '19. '21 E. L. QEddiej Kotal, Ph.B., is now ath- letic director at the State Teachers, Col- lege in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and we might add, if he can coach his players up to his own form, State Teachers' Col- lege should be winning all its games. Eddie played on the Green Bay Packer Professional football team from 1925 to 1929 and was football coach at Lawrence College from 1926 to 1930. His train- ing he received at Illinois University, Lawrence College, and Columbia Uni- versity. He is married to the former Henrietta McDermott, of Kenosha, Wis- consin. '21 Sound engineering and designing of sound equipment are the interesting occu- pations of K. L. Storch, Beecher, Illinois. Mr. Storch has organized and developed a corporation for the designing and manu- facturing of sound systems, which are entirely new in the acoustic and electrical field, requiring extensive research and exploration. '21 One of Bloom's present Math teachers, Dorothy Martin, took her college course at Lake Forest, where she received her A.B. in 1925. Later she went to the Chicago University. Q Page 130 '21 The profession of journalism often de- velops generations of printers and editors. King Williams carries out the tradition, as editor of the Chicago Heights Star. He occupies the position held by his father, William Williams, founder and printer of the Chicago Heights Star. King completed his University course at Illinois, and later attended Northwestern. He is a director of the State Chamber of Commerce. 'His greatest achievement, however, he says, is King Junior, aged four. 1922 Congregational minister in charge of two town-and-country churches, Genoa City, Wisconsin, and Richmond, Illinois is the present occupation of James S. Caskey, Still to the Class of '22. This is what he has to say about his Work: The most obvious approximation to an achievement has been my ordination with a number of nationally known preachers, educators and writers in the religious field taking part. Actually, however, I think that the analysis of some unpublished manuscripts of Jonathan Edwards for my B. D. thesis amounts, to more. QB. D. stands for Bachelor of Divinity, a gradu- ate professional degreej. The churches Where I am now are on two sides of the Illinois-XVisconsin line and include among its members dairy farmers, resort visitors, summer residents and highly educated 'intellectuals'. '22 Willard M. Towle writes from the offices of the Public Theatres Corpora- tion in New Orleans, reporting that he is sound engineer for that company. In regard to his position, he says: The work consists of installing and keeping in good operating condition all equip- ment involving sound and projection in the backstage of our theatres. There are new electrical and mechanical develop- ments constantly, emergency calls, pro- gram changes and so on, so the work is not monotonous! Willard attended the University of Illinois for three years. He says his greatest achievement has been getting through the depression! '22 A chatty letter from Joe Minnis, who is now a priest in the Episcopal church, brings up memories of the Class of '22- of the bouncing Bruno, the nonchalant Sadie, the Witty twinship of Klinglers, the lovely Marcella, the eloquent Christ, and Marion Philips, whose passing saddened many hearts. Ten years have gone- what a class that was, such loyalty, such unity, such precocity--I wonder what they all are doing and where they are? Joe is at the College of Preachers of the National Cathedral under the first fellowship awarded, and is finding life to be very good. He concludes his letter with congratulations to the staffs of the Bloom, past and present. '22 Esther Ohlendorf's success in her chosen profession is well known to Chi- cago Heights audiences, for her playing is frequently heard. Besides accompanying instrumentalists and singers, Esther has classes in piano study. She received her Bachelor of Music degree at the Ameri- can Conservatory of Music. She declares: One could write a book on the interest- ing facts of music, but I like the variety it offers, the social contacts, the pleasure I get from listening to music, and the fact that I can make others happy by teaching it. 1923 Frances Haesler, a resident of Chicago Heights, and a graduate of Liberal Arts at Northwestern University, is now in the English department at Bloom High. '23 James A. Mount, assistant advertising manager, Lipman Wolfe and Company, Portland, Oregon, records an unusual as- sortment of greatest achievements. Not getting married heads the list. Scaling Mount Hood 01,250 ft.j every month in 1930, comes next, and moving from Chicago to Oregon is the third. fEvidently Jimmy likes Oregon.j Wabash College is Jimmy's Alma Mater. '23 One would never know from reading Walter Panzar's report that he had done anything of importance, for after men- tioning his three years at the University of Chicago and one at the Sorbonne, Paris, he laconically says that None of my achievements could be classed as great or even worth mentioning , that he is now a secretary, and that there is noth- ing interesting concerning this position. 1924 Isobel Mathews is well known through- out Bloom and Chicago Heights as one of the popular teachers in Bloom's Social Science Department. Isobel has a B. A. degree from Rockford College, Rockford, Illinois. She very aptly says that the most interesting thing about her job is the fact that When we were here as students our enrollment was about 700. Now we have approximately 1450 pupils and we are still in the same building! '24 Ellen Caskey, who compiled the Alumni section, had her first journalistic work on the first Broadcaster in her senior year at Bloom. She graduated at Knox college with A.B. While there she was on the staff of the college paper. She is now with the Chicago Visitors' Pub- lishing Company where she is editing three loop hotel magazines. '24 Victor Towle, when the 1932 Annual goes to press will have graduated from Loyola University in Doctor of Medicine. He will enter St. Frances Hospital as Interne. fVictor was Editor of 1924 Bloom Annualj. '24 Another of Bloom's Alumni is now teaching English and Dramatics. After graduating from University of Illinois in '29 Adele Merwitz taught one year and then came to Bloom. She says, I just love my work. QAdele was Assistant Editor of 1924 Bloom. j '27 Helen M. Bahlman is teaching English and physical training at Lockport High School, Lockport, Illinois.
