We rub the Lamp anew, and in a breath our school path shines out again, gay youth days which this book prolongs, an immortal memory. DEDICATION OUR book owes its very being to the Spirit of Touchstone-undying Spirit of Fantasy and Imagination, who slipped back to us from elfin- land and lent the courage to press on 'gainst all odds, that the line of the Bloom be unbroken. To that Spirit we dedicate our Annual. THE THEME I F, IN the development of our theme, adapted from the John Ket- telwell version of the Wonder Tale of Aladdin, you catch some gleams of the luminous beauty and artistry so charmingly distinetive of his ver- sion, the purpose of our Annual is fulfilled.

POORMAN BOARD OlF JEDIUCCATIION THE Bloom Board of Education has guided the school safely through another year- a truly critical period. The overcrowded condition of old Bloom, the incompletecl state of the 'new school, and the lack of finances all combined to make the task a difficult one. The two acting officials of the Board are Mr. Harvey Adair, president, and Mr. George Whitield, secretary. Mr. Whitield was returned to the Board by the voters in the April election. Sixicfn OF 1933! HILDUR SODERMAN OFFICE FORCE Miss Soderman's gracious and invaluable services are rendered to principal, teachers, and students alike. Besides doing secretarial work for Mr. Boyer, she records all student rankings, keeps their programs, lists the honors, greatly assists Broadcaster and Bloom workers, and directs the school calendar. As clerk of the Board of Education, she attends the meetings and keeps accurate minutes of each. Her cheerful guidance and wealth of information enable the machinery of the office to run smoothly through- out the entire year. Although a member of the force for only two years, Harriet Kruse has proved exceedingly helpful to both faculty and students. Her detailed duties are making mimeographed tests for the teachers, sending out the daily announcements to be read in advisery groups, and doing various other office - V duties. Stella Leech, assistant to the school bookkeeper, Mr. G. A. Wilson, balances the high school accounts, con- tinually checks up on all the expenses of the various clubs, and helps the treas- urers of each to keep his accounts balanced. She also assists Miss Soderman with office duties, and checks o-n the daily attendance. HARRIET KRUSE STELLA LEECH Seuerxh-en QTHE BLOOM ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Florence V. Wallace Ethel Mellinger Ida H.

The freshmen enjoy Adventures in Literaturef, while the sophomores learn sentence structure and delight in reading stories of the medieval age. When juniors, they enter an extensive course of good writing in the form of short stories, essays, poetry, and drama. The fourth year of English, although an elective, attracts many students because of the interesting study of literature from the period of Chaucer to modern times. A journalistic course is offered so that the students may issue The Broadcaster and edit The Bloom. o Eigblcen OF 19335 U SOClIAlL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Adeline M. Smith Miner Coburn Margaret A.

The department is ably directed by Miss Smith and a corps of assistants, who cooperate with her in trying to give students a wide range of historical knowledge, an idea of governing people, and a conception of man's business relations with his fellow men. All this is accomplished after four years of study, beginning in the freshman year with community civics, and continuing by gradual steps through the fields offered to the study of economics in the latter half of the senior year.

To the juniors and seniors fall the pleasant tasks of studying physics and chemistry.

Freshman math is explained to the newcomers under the able supervision of six mathematics instructors. Relations of the parts of geometric Hgures and the com- plications of a logical proof are taught to the sophomore students. Junior and seniors having college aspirations continue their mathematics course in the advanced algebra and solid geometry classes. Here the ambitious student delves into the theories of num- bers and equations, while in the solid geometry classes the study of geometry in the realm of solid figures continues. Those students of Bloom who are fired by the desire to roam foreign lands and converse with picturesque folk-the German baron, the Spanish senor, or the French peasant, find in the Modern Language department a step toward the realization of their ambition. For those who delight in tales of perilous wanderings or in brilliant oratory, Virgil and Cicero provide interesting studies. Twenty-one l QTHE BLOOM COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Myrtle Spahn G.

While the freshmen are managing a store, iling letters, and calculating by machine, the sophomores are doing the bookkeeping and accounting in this busy office. The juniors and seniors, with the aid of post-graduates, find many occasions to put their knowledge of secretarial Work to practical use. In addition to routi-ne instructions, these advanced students become skilled and experienced by assisting with the miscel- laneous correspondence of the different departments. Twen ty-two OF 1933?

The click of drawing instru- ments and the murmur of voices at Mr. Peterson's desk greets the ears of one entering the mechanical drawing room. The lower classmen in both divisions learn to use the simpler tools. The juniors make pattern drawings for their use in 'pattern making. The seniors, looking toward the future, may choose between architectural and machine draw- ing. These become true machinists, for they make various articles from steel, such as nuts and bolts.

INTRODUCTION Four busy years have been completed, and the one hundred and seventy-three members of the 1933 graduating class stand eagerly on the threshold of new adventures. The careful guidance of their various teachers aided them in obtaining this, their main ambition-graduation. While many of the class dropped by the way-side, others have been rewarded for their diligent work by election to prominent school offices-by reaching a place in the National Honor Society, or being elected to the National Thespians. A few selected members of the class have had the honor of editing The Bloom at a sacrifice of both time and energy. The class has been fortunate in having Mr. Coe as its sponsor 'in' both junior a-nd senior years. Twenty-ji ue Floyd Adair Fireman 2, 4. Ambition: Give airplanes their last O.K.

That has a different interpretation for every one. To some it means only the stepping stone that one indiiferently treads in crossing from the sophomore to the senior state. It is merely the antechamber one must pass through before entering the palace where the treasure lies. To others it means the happiest days of school life, for then one can take an active part in the more important activities. Then students are organized and reorganizedg they are not merely so many students, but a definite group with definite ideals and views in mind. They prepare to undertake the responsibilities that they must expect when they enter the 'palaceg then they prepare to live up to the expectations that are set for those who would have the treasure. They are nearest to that coveted state. Only a few more obstacles bar their wayg only a few more steps-steps that seem less arduous because the treasure is so near-must be taken, and they are in the treasure-house.

WE COMMUT E LL IS quiet and peaceful in high school junior's bedroom. 'Tis early morning, and junior is in deep slumber with his hair tousled and his arms extended above his head. But wait! Slowly and cautiously into the room tiptoes junior's mother. With a sly dig under the extended arms of the sleeper, she says, Wake up, or you'll be late. Junior flings his arms madly about for a moment as if to ward off some invisible enemy. Then, as complete consciousness comes to him, he realizes that get up he must if he means to catch the bus for school. Yawning, groaning, stretching, turning, and bemoaning the fact that he was ever born to a life like this, take up a few minutes. The plunge from the cozy warmth of the bed to the icy coldness of the room is perhaps the hardest of all. By slow degrees, junior is finally washed, combed, clothed, and in his right mind. He partakes of a hasty snatch of breakfast, and a look at the clock shows him that he is already five minutes late. He makes a snatch at his coat, a grab at his books, a discovery of the absence of his fountain pen, a hasty search, and finally he is off. He decides to run the first two blocks in order to come leisurely walking in and so not have to face the jeers of sleepy head, out for track! and similar sallies. As he rounds the last corner on a gallop, he sees the bus pulling up. He must run the rest of the Way. Panting and puffing, he finally reaches the bus and climbs into it to face as bravely as possible the teasing of his classmates. By the time the bus arrives at school, his respiration, pulse, and heartbeat are again normal, and laughing and talking to his friends, he walks up the broad steps to the main entrance. When he is inside, he remembers that he must remain in the assembly, without going to his locker, until 7:45. This is a happy thought, and he drops into a seat to try to live through the fifteen minutes of monotony. Do you think it is fair, he asks, to have to rush around the first part of the morning and then to have to waste time the last part? Don't you pity the poor Junior Commuter? THE TYPICAL JUNIOR Not exactly valiant or brave, Not a person who can always behave, Just a person whose company we crave- The typical junior. Not a person that grades affect, Not always all one might expect, Just a person who has our respect- The typical junior. Not too clever or witty to like, Not too old for a Ford or too young for a bike, just a person, the likeable type- The typical junior. Not always at the head of the class, Not too slow nor yet too fast, just a courageous laddie or lass- The typical junior. Fifty-one 4 T H E B L o 0 M OUR HVIE COMMANDMIENTS 1. Thou shalt forgive those who assign The reading of Macbeth as thine. 2. Thou shalt not curse him who did it write And wish to be able his chin to smite. 3. Thou shalt complain not of thy work, E'en though it be the speech of Burke. 4. Thou shalt smile when thou must write The brief on a crowded Monday night. Above all- 5. Thou shalt not breathe what is in store For the unsuspecting sophomore. WE START TIHUE DAY THERE are many thrills which accompany one as a junior, yet there are the wrong kind of thrills a junior receives, which are not told to everyone. Let us follow a junior boy, as he starts off Monday morning, not with a bang: 7:00 A.M.- Ho! Hum! It's early yet, guessl can sleep a little while longerf' 7:40 A.M.- Gosh, it's late! Now I will have to hurry. 8:00 A.M.- Ma, butter me a piece of toast, huh? Why don't you call a guy in the morning? Don't argue, I haven't the time. 8:15 A.M.-Qadvisery groupj- just in time. I-I'lo, fellas. 8:30 A.M.-Qlibraryj- Why can't I get a book? They might save one for such an important person as I. Now-where's my pen? Hey, you, lend me your pen? Throw it. Ouch! You don't need to break off a guy's fingers. I wonder if Miss Hess was talking to me? I didn't do anything. Still, she was looking in this direction. Good grief! This pen has no ink in it: now I'll have to fill it. Why can't people move their chairs? Ah, the ink has been moved, just my luck. What the bell, already? Never mind, Miss Marshall, I don't need any ink, now. 9:15 A.M.-CAdvanced algebra.j Now to collect some chalk. Zowie! Who hit me? 'That for you-Qsarcasticallyj I hope you like it.' Why Mr. Briggs, where would I ever get any chalk? All right, I'll go to the office. 9:23 A.M.- Mr. Boyer, er-uh-um-m-! Thus the poor junior starts off his week, everlastingly trod upon. Fifty-lwo 0 F 1 9 3 3 r WE STROLL THROUGH THE HAILJLS BETWEEN PERIODS JUNIOR has many different thoughts while passing through Bloom's crowded halls. Let us follow any junior on his way to his English class at any period of the day. On his way out of the assembly, where, during the last period, he caught up on some lost sleep, he scorns a freshman who happens to get in his way. He mutters something that resembles an oath. He stops at the fountain to partake of some water and to glance at the bulletin board. He next goes to the locker of his girl friend, and spends a minute in quiet and sober conversation. Since his English class is upstairs, he starts the long and tedious journey up the stairs. At the foot of the stairs, he again halts. This time he inquires of a friend for some dope, as he calls it, on the forthcoming English test. A few feet further on, he exchanges a few words with the feminine hall guard. Finally he reaches the English class and rushes breathlessly into the room just as the last bell sounds. He tries to pay no attention to the icy stare he receives from the teacher. Of course, this description does not fit every junior. There are many who are more punctual and more industrious than this particular student. However, I am afraid that this description can be quite easily adapted to some of our junior students-or should we call them scholars? THE BUSY JUNIOR AJUNIOR is the busiest person on earth. President Roosevelt doesn't have to outline half of Burke's airtight and burglar-proof jig-saw puzzle once every five days for maybe hours-I really never discovered whichj, even if he does sign beer bills till the writers' cramp gets him. My dad, even if he does work with figures all day long, never had to learn the tango or make up his mind whether John or Lionel Barrymore is the better actor. No assignment for physics? That sounds ominous. Time will tell! Meanwhile, I gnaw every nail within reach and worriedly delve into that mysterious chapter where Mr. Ohm has his hideout. Yes, the junior has no time for loaf-idling. If he isn't flunking an exam, he's just come from flunking one, or he's just going to make another vain effort for a B . Maybe the teachers don't appreciate a j-unior's efforts. They seem to be convinced that the rigor of the junior's course will make even a C appreciated. I can't say I don't agree with them. Yes, and why did they put me on the social refreshment committee? Even Okay Briggs can't discover a way to clear more than fifteen cents on a dozen Eskimo pies. Pretty soon we'll have to serve pretzels and-punch. There's a basketball game tonight and another French test tomorrow and a hop tomorrow night and-. What-no sleep? Fifty-liner 4 T H E B L 0 o M WE ARE ATHLETIC A streak of lightning down the floor- A jump, a twist, and two points more. Up in the air, faster than all- A junior's playing basketball. A ball flies swiftly through the air- A whack-it flies-I wonder where? A mighty swinger of the bat- A junior, one is sure of that. In every sport this class takes part, And any player that does start In contest, whether great or small One will see excels over all. WEE STUDY II-T WAS on a dark stormy night. On one side of me was my Chemistryg on the other side lay Burke. I took up my Chemistry with a determination to study it. I looked through it and decided Burke should be easier. After coming face-to-face with Burke, I decided my prophecy was wrong. Reading first from my Chemistry and then from Burke, I decided to write the outline which had been assigned. My thoughts must have been slightly confused for the result was: I. Burke feels compelled to address the House for, A. It is explosive. B. It is insoluble. II. Burke's plans may disappoint some people for, A. They form a precipitate. B. They can be dissolved. III. The proposal for peace ought to originate with England for, A. The valence is positive. B. The action is violent. Noting that the result was disastrous, I went to bed. Fifty-four OF 1933!

In expectation of an 'A' He goes and gives to me a 'C' When honors were my goal and way. With silent threats as anger rose I av'raged up my grades therein, Of B's and A's and these and those. The error I blamed right on to him. The anger swelled up in my eye As I went right up to his desk. , He calmly showed to me where I Had failed to take the final test. Defending with a scornful look In that, said I, I made a 'B'. He turned the page of his grade book Oh, yes, says he, But why this 'E'? SOPHOMORE SUBJECTS IF ANYONE were to ask me what I consider the worst books in school, I would name four, those which I am using now. I would begin with Holzworth and Price's Beginning French. What actually puzzles me is why there are foreign languages when to most of us our own English is foreign enough. We are now reading the most thrilling little story about Le Petit Pierre. It really gets so exciting sometimes that we all read far ahead of the day's assignment because it seems to bring back reminiscences of the days of The Three Bears and Little Red Riding Hoodf' Next in line would come Wells and Hart's Modern Plane Geometry. It may be modern and plane to some people, but it's Greek to me. After drawing triangles and circles and more triangles and more circles we doubt if We'll be able to keep them out of our dreams. It would be difficult to find anything more easily combustible than Webster's Modern European History book, full seven hundred fifty pages long. We start zealously with the Stuart line of English kings and forge ahead from one wild date to another until history to me is trying to connect each date with the right treaty, war, or king. More often than not the date for the death of a king is the date when France declared another war on Austria. Such is life, trying to learn what these men of old did and how, when, and why they did it when all we're interested inf is the man of to-day. Last but not least is that small blue and orange book written by three wonderful authors of to-day. No wonder it took the united efforts of three men to write such a volume. Adventures in American Literature, for such is the name of this tiny book which contains just a few pages-over a thousand. What could be more exciting and entertaining than reading Emerson's philosophy of compensation or pages from a few of the old-timer's journal? Yet, there are a few worse things than these, and one is writing or trying to write a humorous theme when we are not in a particularly funny mood. And so the gay young sophomores struggle on through their exciting career toward the Elysian fields of rest and happiness in the junior class. Fifty-nine 4 T H E B L o o M SOCIAL HOUR TIHURIJLIL 8:10 A.M.--Slicked down hair, conspicuous suits, ultra shined shoes are being con- veyed by their wearers to various advisery groups. Party dresses, gay strings of beads, satin pumps likewise are being transported to other groups. What can it indicate? Why, Social Hour! 1:05 P.M.-More finery is in evidence. The more timid and selfconscious folk have waited until noon to prepare for the grandest of school events. The early birds, too, have had a chance to redecorate and vie for haberdashery honors. 3:20 P.M.-The zero hour is at hand. Girls, at their lockers, nervously primp and powder, rouge and lipstick. Boys, in the washrooms, adjust ties, comb, and peck at imaginary spots. 3:30 P.M.-A few hardier souls venture into the gym, reluctantly parting with a dime. Awkardly they stand along the walls attempting poise and nonchalance. Vaguely they stare across the barren floor. 3:40 P.M.-Sounds are heard from the orchestra. The clink of coins in the cash- box announces new arrivals. Postureworries vanish with the gathering crowd: in- stead there are shy pickings at ties, and hair is touched gingerly. Minds are tortured with one hundred and one colossal matters. 3:45 P.M.-Crash! distorted imagination is rudely jerked from its reverie. The orchestra's hot-cha-cha musicians blare forth in a glorious splendor of brazen synco- pation. As the dazed aggregation responds, the players are rewarded. There is move- ment. 3:45 P.M.-Very self-consciously and stiifly some rash Don Juan boldly approaches the girl of his sleepless nights. She appears to be in an impenetrable castle. S' funny hc never realized before how small he was. 3:47 P.M.What! Has the impossible been accomplished? Is she condescending? It's a mirage! No, she is in his arms out on the floor. Several more pioneers of the age old pastime join them. The Social Hour is on! MOONJBIEAMS Moonbeams bring me dreams the while I listen to the cry of the nightbirdg Dreams that just like the moonbeams Fade with dawn's new light. Pale rays of dying light Play you upon me and never fail: Bring your dreams For I welcome them If only you come with them. Come, you will find me waiting. Sixty OF 1933!

ANNIUAJL BKOOSTIEJRS At a call for freshman backers to help support the Annual financially, nearly lifty responded, these were assured a picture in the Annual upon the payment of the first installment of fifty cents. Immediately they were photographed and given due recogni- tion by being fnamed Annual Boosters. Many other freshmen expressed their desire for annuals but time was too limited to give extended credit. The support of the Bloom Boosters assured them a class section in the book, and laid the foundation for active interest in next year's annual. Sixty-one 4 T H E B L 0 0 M I'D RATHER BE A FRESHIE What! You do not like the Freshies Who are new and colored green? Why that's certainly outrageous, For no better could be seen. The Sophomores think they're Very fine, And the Juniors are not fair, But the Seniors, Oh, my goodness! It's a shame, they're everywhere. So I'm glad I'm just a Freshie And 'not a Senior tall, Not a Sophomore nor a Junior Who is heard in every hall. IN QUEST OIF MISS APPLEGATE Oh, and here we find a poor little Freshie wandering through these amazing halls. She seems to be in search of something. Why, she is! She gazes up the broad main stairway. Shall she venture up it? She does, and finds herself on the second floor. Now where shall she go? Miss Applegate's room must be somewhere near here. She walks into the dramatics room. She seats herself in a chair near the door. Yes, this must be the room. She leans over and taps her neighbor. Is this Miss Applegate's physiology room? she timidly asks. Why, no, this is the dramatics room, laughs her neighbor unkindly, and immedi- ately begins to tell the others of the freshie's confusion. Amid laughter and taunting remarks the freshie creeps out the door. What shall she do? It's near time for the last bell to ring. Oh Qsigh of reliefj, there's a man! He looks like a teacher. She approacwhes Mr. Briggs in front of Room 32. Sir, she inquires, could you tell me where Miss Applegate's room is? Mr. Briggs: Why, I don't know. Maybe she's in the chemistry room. The Freshie doesn't know where that is so she follows Mr. Briggs to Miss Greer's room. I guess we're wrong this time, -this from Mr. Briggs again-- but we'll try the other room. Tn the amazement of both, they find Miss Futcher but no Miss Applegate. They return to the desk in front of Room 32. I can't imagine where she is,', says Mr. Briggs, scratching his cerebellum in the old familiar way, but eI'll ask Miss DuFrain. He opens the door of Room 32. What? Why, it's Miss Applegate assigning seats to her new pupils. The Freshic marches in and takes her place amid the stares of other pitying Freshmen. As I review this I recall every point and detail of this incident. How she felt during all this procedure only I can know for that poor, shy, little Freshie was I.

THE SQUAD Handicapped by very limited time, because the fall semester did not begin until October, Coaches C. M. Sarff and H. W. M'Cann faced one of the most difficult tasks of their athletic career. With only four of last season's regulars reporting for duty, the task of whipping green material into satisfactory shape became one of the most perplexing problems. Probably the determining factor was the hearty cooperation between the entire squad and the coaches. In the short amount of time, some of the new material was molded into the playing machine of the year. Players like Harold Martin, fullback, Robert Johnson and Henry Pilotto, ends, endowed with a certain degree of playing instinct, became regulars onthe squad. K The climax of the year was the victory over Kankakee. The true scoring prowess, as well as the defensive qualities of the team, was revealed at this particular time. Although the victory was much appreciated, the most encouraging factor was that, with such a short period of training, a team of practically new material could work together well enough to defeat such a strong team as Kankakee.

The tension created by the Bloom- Thornton game this year was as intense as any former contest between the two opponents. Before the flerce onslaught of a superior team, Bloom battled valiantly in an effort to overcome the odds. It proved a hopeless task, but afforded the spectators a really fine brand of football with its many thrills and heart-breaks. The final score was Thornton 18, Bloom 6. The Thornton game revealed that Bloom had a coming star in Harold Martin, an inexperienced freshman packing a ton of dynamite. The Bloom- M Thornton game brought back fond memories dating from B V ' before the years of depression, when almost the entire popu- lation of Harvey and Chicago Heights turned out for the annual football fight. SOLLY ARONOWITZ Appointed captain at the beginning of the 1932 season as a result of his previous skill, Aronowitz's competitive spirit and keen knowledge of his opponent's weaknesses made him the good choice for quarter-back and captain of the second all- South Suburban eleven. His fine open-field running proved a menace to the opposition at all times. was Sixty-four OF 1933! . A 2 is do is , -JDK ALBERT PETERSON The fighting Swede was the nickname pinned on Albert Peterson from his first scrimmage until his final minute of competition in high school football. Albert had to live up to the Peterson name, and lacking weight, he accomplished his goal by fight. Swede,', shared the center position with one of greater weight, but while in the game he was nothing short of spectacular. RAY LOGAN Iron-man Logan, who was shifted from the back- field to a guard position, made use of his speed by go- ing down under punts and tackling the receiver time and again. Logan rose to his heights when the going became toughg such a brand of play is most heart- ening to coaches and fans alike. DAVID FRIEDLANDER Davy by virtue of his tremendous build closed a great gap in the center of Bloom's line. W.hile not spectacular, he played steadily throughout the season. LAWRENCE SIMON Simon, a big powerful fellow, could pass, kick, and run with equal skill. He reached his peak in the Kan- . kakec game, which found him doing all of his special- ties with skill. VERNON PEARSON Whenever that extra yard was needed, Pearson was elected to make it-and make it he did. In mid-season he had the misfortune of dislocating his elbow, but with the spirit of never say die Pearson returned in the Hnal game to lend his line-smashing efforts against Lake View.

HEAVYWEIGHT BASKETBALL HE Bloom heavyweight quintet did not Win the South Suburban league champion- ship or come out at the heavy end of the score in the majority of their games, but a trailing jinx played an important part in their season's standing. At the outset of the season ineligibility cost Coach Sarff two lettermeng besides this misfortune, Captain Logan suffered from the flu a great part of the first semester, and was ruled out by the eight semester law the second. Thornton and Kankakee, two members of the South Suburban league, were reckoned the best teams in the country, Thornton Winning the state championship. Several Bloom athletes have given their services in basketball for the last time. Captain Ray Logan, whose fine defensive play kept opponents from scoring points, also swished timely long shots through the nets. These factors along with his leadership singled him out for the captaincy. Selly Aronowitz, the pigmy star of last year's lightweights, was the most feared of any of Bloom's basketeers. His knack of stealing the ball, coupled with his deadly eye, made him the spotted man. Marvin Hendron, the tall man of the team, aptly fitted the call man's position-that of center. His previous training shaped Marv for the crucial position of center. His jumping ability helped to give his teammates possession of the ballg which in itself is an important factor in a team's play. Oscar Wieggel, a reserve at the outset of the season, developed as the season progressed until he assumed the duties at center after Hendron's graduation in mid-year. uOSSl6,Sn aggressive, hard play inspired the team when the play was most critical.

JLIIGIHITWIEIIGHT BASKETBALL HE lightweight squad began its successful 1932-33 season with the first of its two defeats, losing to Momence. Coach M'Cann promptly rallied his forces, and building a championship team about his single letterman, Pignotti, he won twelve of the four- teen scheduled games. The second game with Thornton resulted in Bloom's other defeat, and a tie for the South Suburban League title. Eleven men earned letters, all of whom will return next fall. REGULARS Captain Dino Pignotti, center, was the strong man of the team. Puggy was high point man for the season, as well as leading Bloom in offence and defense. He scored in every tilt except the second with Harvey, in which the invaders kept him under close guard throughout the game. Jimmy Fares, small, graceful, and speedy, won a forward position soon after joining the ponies in the second semester. The fastest man on the squad, he ran circles about taller opponents. Charles Wickwire captured a regular place, as guard, early in the season. Tall and lanky, Chuck's reach was indespensable in many a tight spot. Louis Posluszny, a consistent and dependable performer, earned his letter at the guard berth. Appearing in every game, his ability to score at least once in an evening often decided the issue. Alfred Amos started the season with little experience but learned rapidly and saw much service during the latter part of the schedule. His timely goals from the foul line region often spelled victory for Bloom. Vernon Wilkening served in nearly every game and raised many a Bloom score by his unexpected shots from the sides of the floor. His fine eye for the basket will be valuable to future teams.

With eight major lettermen and a host of newcomers who were willing to work, Mr. Nelson began strenuous training, and in the course of time a fairly successful season saw its beginning. As the season progressed certain outstanding men showed talent in their respective events. Pfeil, Fuller, Goss, and Kowalski have been the chief distance men. Those who now represent Bloom in the dashes and hurdles are Amadio, Heyward, Robert John- son, Perkins, R. Reining, and Zajicik. Simon, Hamilton, and Pezzoli put the shot and throw the discuss. Tarquinio, Lowe, Gasbarero, and Ray Johnson show unusual talent in the broad jump, high jump, and pole vault. To date, the seniors have scored sufficient points to win two meets. They defeated Blue Island 74 273 to 38 173, and University High 58 175 to 54 475. Although Thorn- ton and Kankakee have won their meets from Bloom by the scores, Thornton 72 173 to Bloom S0 S76 to Blue Island 16 576, and Kankakee 71 to Bloom 42, nevertheless Pfeil, Simon, and Robert Johnson have won spectacular Hrsts in the mile, shot put, and hurdles respectively. The juniors with exceptional services by Sheehan in the shot put, Martin and Newling in the pole vault, Amos, King, J. Reining, Spina, Kilbourne, Clements, and Cundiff in the foot races, have won two of their three meets.

Each adviser is repre- sented by a team of five of his best athletes Qlettermen eXcluded.j Then through a series of exciting elimination games, the champions are finally selected. The increasing number of boys participating each year proves this to be an activity which should be continued for the betterment of athletics at Bloom. This year the champions were Mr. Coe's senior boys. The regular team consisted of Wallace Smith, August Conchetti, Melvin Cabrignac, Willie Amos, and J. B. Hen- dron. Assisting them were! Alvin I-Iinze, Robert Meier, and Leo Budnick as active sub- stitutes. The four groups represented in the semi-Hnals were the advisees of Mr. Coe, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Coburn, and Mr. Manske. The outstanding feature of the tourna- ment was the close rivalry between them. In playing off these games, Mr. Coe's boys eliminated the Thompson representatives and Mr. Coburn's group was left with the short end of the final score by the Manske squad. The final game of the tournament saw the champions displaying their superiority by defeating Mr. Manske,s group eleven to six. The grande finale of the basketball season was a feature game never before given at Bloom-the faculty men versus the Intra-Mural boys. The teams were nearly even, and a three minute overtime period was necessary to break the tie and give Mr. Coe's team the victory. Seventy OF iessr TENNIS THIS year, due to unprecedented spring rains, tennis made a very late start. After - the courts had been brought into shape by rolling and marking, they offered a good field for belated action. At Mr. Cassady's first call many would-be Bill Tilden's responded. Under his genial supervision serious practice began, and at the time of writing, a tournament is in progress, Shapiro, Gordon, Groom, and Fischer emerged victors in the second round which has just been finished. Bloom is scheduled to play matches with other schools in the South Suburban League-University High, Kankakee, and Blue Island. The boys in whom M.r. Cassady places hopes for the interscholastic tournaments include Wallace Smith, Aaron Shapiro, Frank Walter, Harold Fischer, and Melvin Herman. One freshman, Arthur Gordon, shows good form and has made the more experienced players extend themselves in practice. The pleasant weather now affords practice, and the season's prospects grow brighter with each succeeding day, furthermore, the coach is not over-confident and keeps the boys feeling that they must develop better form since the inter-school matches will soon be played. GOLF THE golf team, thus far, has not lived up to the expectations of Coach Sarff nor have they followed as well as they might in the footsteps of last year's team. Tommy Sheehan and Charles Skuza. are the only two of last year's most successful team. Tommy won every meet and then continued to capture the South Suburban title. The remainder of the team consists of Lawrence Aprati and Charles Simonetti. Other members of the squad are Thomas Buzelli, Robert Booth, Ralph Verrechia, Hamilton Miller, and Tito Tarquinio. Bloom has lost its only match with Blue Island, but they fared better in the qualifying round for the State High School Championship. Lawrence Aprati led all the Joliet qualifiers with a 75 and Charles Simonetti also qualified with a 78. The team is gradually rounding into shape, and if ineligibility does not sacrifice some of the players, the team will win the South Suburban at the Calumet Country Club and retain the title. The order of the teams play thus far has been: Tommy Sheehan, Lawrence Aprati, Charles Skuza. The fifth member of the team has yet to be selected for the South Suburban Tournament. WRIESTLING FROM the standpoint of development, one may safely say that wrestling has been successful this year. Of the twenty-four boys who began the season, four were taken to the annual Chi- cago University Interscholastic Tournament. These acquired a total of nine points in the championship round and seven in the consolation. This score placed Bloom in sixth place, above some of the schools that had much larger teams. Joe Vavrus in the one hundred and seventy-five pound class, won second place in the championship, August Conchetti, the one hundred and eighteen pounder, took first place in the consolation. The other two wrestlers were Henry Pilotto, who placed fourth in the one hundred and forty-five pound championship, and Felix Bohen, whose loss of weight prevented him from placing in the one hundred and twenty-five pound class. Henry Pilotto is the only one of the four who will be back next season. The others will graduate, or be ineligible for competition.

HE Girls' Athletic Association, under the guidance of Miss Leila Veazey, consists mainly of girls interested in athletics. The purpose of this club is to introduce all fields of sports to the girls, in order that they may choose the type in which they are most interested. This year officers were again elected by the various members. The seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen each voted for two representatives, one to act as an officer and the other as a member of the board. The outstanding projects of the G.A.A. were the volleyball, basketball, and baseball tournaments, archery, and tennis. The advisery group basketball tournament was won by Miss DuFrain's senior group. During the football season several of the girls had charge of the candy stand. Points are given to the girls for places on teams, high grades in physical education, five-mile hikes, and other gymnastic activities. At the end of the year those who have earned 750 points receive a B.T.H.S. award, while those few who achieve 1,000 points receive a 1,000 point medal. At the end of the season the girls who had made either the volleyball or the basketball team gathered together for the last rally-a banquet held in the school dining room. This banquet date closed the senior girls' four years of high school sports. Srzferzty-thru' '4l'Y'I l O 4 fam 5 F 1933 L.

As in .former years the G.A.A. sponsored a tournament, consisting of games between various class teams. In order to make a team, a girl is required to have a passing scholastic standing as Well as to be an outstanding player. After many weeks of limbering up and practices, the teams were chosen and the tournamentwbegan. Because of their lack of experience, the freshmen did not enter the regular tournament. When the season ended, they challenged the upper-class teams for the final games. The seniors proved themselves to be the champion team by defeating all other contestants. Each second team challenged the first teams, and to the surprise of many the junior second team defeated the junior first.

Several weeks before the selection of teams, eager girls tested their skill at sinking baskets from all angles and guarding opponents. As soon as the teams were chosen, the members elected their captains and made team suits of plaid, striped, or figured material. The well-earned name of champion belongs to the senior team, which was skillful and fortunate enough to defeat the other teams which participated in the tournament, including the ever-fighting juniors. The freshmen 'proved to be a serious rival by tying the juniors, only to lose in an overtime period.

The officials of these departments, appointed by the mayor, controlled the activities of Bloom. The fire drills, at unexpected intervals, trained students to leave the building rapidly and with the minimum amount of confusion. Each Hreman took his stations at a fire extinguisher where he remained during that drill. The duty of the chief of police was appointment and supervision of the hall guards who kept the halls clear of stragglers during the class periodsg they also helped visitors to find their destination. The Lost and Found department rendered a great service to the forgetful and careless students by keeping articles until the owners called for and identified them. The de- partment was operated on an efhcient plan whereby each article turned in was listed and placed in a locker, to await its owner's call. The Second Hand Bookstore provided a medium through which transactions could be carried on between students who wished to sell the books they no longer needed and those who wanted to buy books at a reduced price. Besides these four major departments there were others of importance: Public Improve- ments, which look after improvements about the school building, Publicity, that aimed to keep the students informed of the activities of the City of Bloomg the Social Com- mittee whose chairman directed the social hours, and the Program Committee, which arranged entertainments for the students. Each department performed its work creditably, and, by efficient cooperation with the others, reduced friction and made for a united whole.

STUDENT CCUIUNCIUL HIS year the City of Bloom, organized in 1923, celebrates its tenth anniversary. It consists of fifty-one councilmen, presided over by the mayor, who is aided by his cabinet of elected and appointed officials. This plan is unusual in that it allows the students to participate in school administration through the council, to which one councilman is chosen by the citizens of each advisery group. Such a progressive body naturally would be busy and interested in promoting all worthy school activities. Recognizing the band's efforts to support itself by means of a series of concerts, the council backed it by selling tickets, urging attendance at the concert. For the entertai-nment of the students, several fine assembly programs were arranged--a Russian Cossack Chorus, a concert-lecture by Miss Rosalynde Hutch- inson, a bird imitatorg and the Drake University Quartette. Also, the City of Bloom Committee has been responsible for a number of social hours. It sponsored the boys' intra-mural sports. Welfare work, however, is perhaps one of the Council's most impor- tant functions. To further this work among the students, there have been two faculty advisers appointed, Miss Veazey to care for the needs of girls, and Mr. Lare to aid the boys. This year the welfare committee supervised the filling of seventeen Christmas baskets. The amount and nature of the work done requires faithful and diligent service of these city officials, who must qake the lead in all activities and must supervise and direct those under them. In recognition of their work, the officials, hall guards, and monitors are rewarded with service pins, small blue B's.

That question may be heard at five different stations in the school building during class periods, as someone approaches a hall guard's desk. If the student has an official pass properly identified by a teacher, the guard by placing his initials on it gives the bearer liberty to pass on to his destination. But alas! the lack of a pass often causes mischievous boys and girls who are found loitering in the halls to be presented with a guard check which must be explained at the office. This hall guard system came into effect several years ago when students asked for the privilege of participating in the administration of the school. It was purely experimental, its success depending on the sincerity of the student body. These forty guards, if conscientious, do not have an easy position, for they are dealing with their equals. A good guard has to be thoroughly acquainted with the duties of his office, must develop moral courage to do his work well, and keep up his scholastic average of It is the privilege or duty of Chief of Police Robert DeBolt, to discharge any policeman who he thinks is not giving the proper attention to his work. The success of the Guard System depends on the confidence that pupils and teachers alike have in it. Those students who have been approved by a faculty committee are appointed to the position of hall guard. The ones who serve with satisfaction receive a small B , the service pin of the City of Bloom.

HUNOR SOCIETY OW more than ever before the world demands leaders-leaders who will guide the masses of people through the entangling problems of life. Rewarded were those elected to Bloom's Chapter of the National Honor Society. Their four years of constant effort in scholarship and service to the school, their high ideals in leadership and character gained them permanent membership of the society. May its members be rewarded further by the task of leading and serving their country. Out of the senior class only lsfk may be elected to the National Honor Societyg three elections may be held to gain the possible percentage. In the September election seven members were elected. Four more seniors gained membership by approval of the faculty committee in the second election. If more students attain the requirements of the society, a third election may be held in June. The present membership is almost two-fold that of last year. Students more and more realize the necessity of the ideals of the society for future success. The Parent Teachers' Association, too, takes an interest in the National Society and endeavors to further the i-nterest in the student body in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Furthermore, the symbolic pin of the society is presented to each member through the -aid of the Parent Teachers' Association. Eighty OF 1933!

BOYS GlLlElE CLUB HEN music was omitted from Bloom's curriculum last October, many students felt that they were losing a pleasurable study, since some had already had a first semester course. Furthermore, they felt they would not have the advantage of singing at public occasions, such as Christmas performances, banquets, plays, and other events when music was requested. Soon after the opening of school, several of the boys, who had learned of Mr. Rowley's musical training at the University of Illinois, presented to the office a plan and asked for permission to arrange some sort of musical organization. Mr. Rowley, after the office had assented to the proposition, began by organizing a quartette. Later other boys joined, until finally it was properly called the Boys Glee Club. After weeks of practice and rehearsing, the boys are now developing some skill. They not only enjoy their singing because they feel that they are continuing their musical training, but look forward with delight to any engagement that lies in the future. It is the hope of these boys that the seniors of the group may continue to function after graduation, while the juniors may carry on their musical work next year at Bloom.

AIUDIUIBKON SOCIETY EGINNING the fourth year of its existence, the Bloom chapter of the National Audubon Society started out bravely, with ten students answering the first call for members. Several concerted membership drives resulted in a greatly increased member- ship. The purpose of the club, that of acquainting the members with birds and bird habits, was furthered by the programs which were presented at the bi-monthly meetings. Continuing the work of the club outside of school, bird feeding stations were erected by individual members. A bird Christmas tree was set up by the club, Bird hikes dur- ing the winter were abandoned, but the lost time was made up during the spring. The Bloom Audubon Club was brought into being through the efforts of the zoology classes of 1929 because of an ardent desire of some of the students for more thorough knowledge of our bird neighbors than the course in Zoology could afford. THE RETURN OF THE BIRDS I hear, from many a little throat, A warble interrupted long, I hear the robin's flute-like note, The bluebird's slenderer song. Brown meadows and the russet hill, Not yet the haunt of grazing herds, And thickets by the glimmering rill, Are all alive with birds. -Bryant Eighty-fzuo OF 1933!

HOME ECONOMICS CCILIUB HE Bloom Home Economics Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Garrison and Miss Young and the leadership of a capable staff of officers, has completed a most success- ful year of club activities extending over a wide range of interests, with a membership of fifty. In October Miss Garrison with Dorothy Young, president of the organization, attended the State Home Economics Association Conference at Peoria, Illinois. On their return with many new ideas for club work, they inspired the girls to new activities. The philanthropic energies of the club resulted in outfitting several girls from Bloom, and in aiding needy families in Chicago Heights during the winter months. The girls had an opportunity of learning the art of wrapping gifts of all sizes and shapes attractively from a demonstration by Miss Garrison in December. Socially the club was active also, as they gave two parties, one i-n October and the other in May, each of which was made a real dance affair. In May the organization took a tour through the local textile mills, while earlier in the spring six girls went to hear an illustrated lecture on the manufacture and care of silk stockings, given at the Washington School. Marie Meyers reported interesting facts to the club later. That the club had instilled ideas of proper dress, fastidious grooming, and personal neatness was proved at a style show in the mid-winter season, in the spring the art of dressing for all occasions impressed the girls at an open meeting of the girls' club, later this was repeated for the P. T. A. members. Iiigbl y-llnrre QTHE BLOOM T011 Row'-Margaret Jensen, Betty Widen, Ruth Luecke, Clara Spina, Joan Garrison.

LIBRARY CLUB WAY from the noisy, overcrowded halls of old Bloom, is one spot where a student may retire with his books. This haven of quiet is the library. For the serious- minded student, this is his workshop, where much of his assigned work is done and where each contributes his best efforts to making it efficient. The library of Bloom this year has existed under the most adverse conditions. An extremely overcrowded situation made work seem almost impossible. Under the very able supervision of Miss Hess, librarian, and her assistant, Miss Marshall, 'and with the cooperation of the teachers, assistants, and students, things have been moving acceptably. During the first semester the record exceeded 50,000 in attendance and circulation, in the midst of many grave problems. The board considered the need of the library and granted a small sum for the purchase of needful books-225 new books were added this year. The library system of Bloom has the distinction of being the only one of its kind in this vicinity. Each period of the day, two girls, preferably seniors, help at the desks and do the work of checking out the books and recording attendance. They become efficient in library duties and gain a valuable training in orderliness and initiative. These girls, seventeen in all, form the library club of Bloom in 1933. Besides the mere mechanical knowledge of checking out books, Miss Hess has made it possible to give them a deeper insight into the very interesting study of library technique. Every Monday night a meeting is held and a lecture on all phases of library work is given. The girls record notes which are put together to form most usable notebooks. Above all, the girls learn to be alert to all changes and developments in the book world-a rapidly changing world that is growing in importance. Eighty-four OF 19335 TDI!

THE IBROADKCASTIEIR HE Broadcaster is a bi-weekly publication giving sidelights on Bloom's lively daily life a-nd all of its activities. It is a necessary organ of school life since it keeps the members of the school in close relationship and portrays to the parents the school hap- penings. The newspaper is edited and issued by the journalism classes under the ever- guiding hand of Miss Way, faculty adviser. The first semester the staff was smaller than usual because of a large percentage lost by graduation, further there was no journalism A class to rely upon. However, the six staff members worked carefully and diligently to cover the large field of work, and the paper was a success. The second semester class, which was large and experienced, readily stepped in and carried on the work. Editing a paper is not all work and no play for the journalistic students, for there are many interesting highlights during the year. Being members of the Greater Chicago Press Guild, the Illinois State High School Association, and the National Press Associa- tion, the staff members were offered many opportunities for companionship and inspira- tion at conventions, banquets, and writers' tournments, and acquaintance with promi- nent speakers. Faced by many financial difficulties, the staff has campaigned for subscriptions and advertisements, led by capable business managers. Every member strove to uphold the things for which the Broadcaster stands-excellent literary writings, original write-ups, snappy humor, in fact a lively school publication. Eigbly-five QTHE BLOOM Dorman Jaffe Philomena Gorzinski Franklin Zum Mallen Betty Booth EDITORS AND BUSINESS MANAGERS THE annual became a possibility as last year-by securing the support of three-fourths of the parents in the form of 'a written statement. This made it possible to start the book by assuring the free photography of all needful pictures throughout. With this assurance and the board? s vote to try a 1933 annual, the choice of capable leaders, with executive ability and literary accuracy as the necessary qualities for editing the book, as well as executive ability and bookkeeping skill required of the business managers, had to be determined next. The method of co-workers proved so satisfactory last year that the same method was again adopted. The planning of the book, a most delightful task, began immediately. Unlike Miss Way's former policy of organizing the sections early after the opening of school, and thereby taking advantage of the 302 discount on all plates, the work of some months had to be accomplished 'in a few weeks. Day by day the various parts of the book became completed through continual committee meetings and careful planning, copies of club activities came in on exacting deadline dates. Following the demands for copy, came the more difficult task of securing good kodaks. All the snapshots that appear in the annual were taken by the members of the newly organized Kodak club. For several days Miss Way,s room was converted into a studio where juniors and sophomores were photographed. Under the supervision of Dorman Jaffe, business manager, and Mr. Lare, faculty adviser, with their helpers, advertising was obtained through friendly appeals to busi- ness men. This helped to finance the book to a great extent. Franklin Zum Mallen proved a conscientious bookkeeper by daily balancing the budget. Besides the student assistants the success of the book is due to the additional aid of Misses Ethel and Louise Mellinger as proof-readers, the aid of Loretta Johnson as guiding instructor of the theme drawings and art work, and the inspirational ideas of Miss Hess. As the annual goes to press, the staff express their hopes that the readers will realize the 1933 book has been kept within a definitely specified budget, and that the eHorts of the editors will be appreciated.

BILOOM STAFF ASSISTANTS OON after the second semester began, the Bloom staff assistants were chosen. Many of those who worked on the literary sections were recommended by the faculty. The call went out for students to help in the friendly advertising campaign, and the response was gratifying. Miss Ash supervised the art work in spite of her heavy schedule of classes. She was assisted by Loretta Johnson, a graduate of last year. The success of the annual is due to the energetic work of the assistants in the fields specified below: Senior section: Ruth Wallace.

THE KODAK CLUB HEN the bright spring days came, the call went out from Miss Way's room to those energetic students who would rush about and photograph the notables and otherwise of Bloom. They came, fourteen strong, to learn their part in the making of a live Bloom. The responsibility of the club this year was that of combining photographs and dates in the form of a calendar. The kodakers set out immediately to recreate important events of former months and to snap all contemporary incidents. Everyone purchased for him- self a roll of six films, after each had taken that number of pictures, the annual paid for refinishing and developing of others. In spite of the rain and snow during April, some excellent snapshots were turned in. One feature, some silhouettes, had to wait for days to be taken. During the bright days of May, the real drive for photographs began. Pictures of spring sports-golf, tennis, track, and baseball-were taken to add to the life of the athletic section. Sydney Greenburg, a Bloom graduate, gave his assistance to the amateur photographers by making special rates to the students, work. Sydney and Mr. Carlseen developed the films. Three of the most active photographers were appointed to arrange and mount the snapshots, that this section might be one of the most attractive in the book. The reward of all photographers was their membership in a Kodak Club organized for the annual. To the above group belongs the credit for the camera section of the 1933 Bloom Annual.

TIHUE GIRLS CJLTUJB HAPPY, eager, efficient, and chummy group of girls-this is Bloom's Girls Club. In their informal way, its members are always busy: getting acquainted with the freshman girls and helping them to feel that they are not neglected, doing their bit for the Junior Red Cross a-nd other worthy organizations, entertaining at social gatheringsg and doing many other things which would be missed by the whole school and by many others outside of school if the club should suddenly be discontinued. Programs are arranged and the business is taken care of principally by the Girls Club Board, which is chosen by the girls of the different classes to represent them. However, this year the open meeting was introduced at Bloom. This allows all the members to become better acquainted with the workings of the club and to voice their opinions. This method proved quite successful and interesting, since some form of entertain- ment was usually provided in addition to the regular business meeting. This year the club has again fully justified its existence by continuous activities from October until June. One result of the club, which is not always apparent, but nevertheless important, is the training of the girls to carry on in the ever-growing field of women's activities. The girls of today will be the leaders of tomorrow in woman's clubs, welfare organi- zations, social life, a-nd even in the political world. Able leaders, who will move up- ward and onward, will be developed by the experience and willingness to help in the Girls Club during student days.

THESPIANS O all dramatic aspirants at Bloom, the one and only goal is membership in the National Thespian Society. The chief aim of the society is to develop a spirit of active interest in dramatics among high school students. Thus, membership in the society means working actively in dramatizing. Whether a student deserves member- ship is decided by the director. The Bloom students receive dramatic instruction through two classes of drama con- ducted by Miss Mernitz. The beginning class is open to any student having a B average in speech or a student who shows dramatic ability in a try-out. A continuation of dramatic instruction is given to advanced classes in the production of a play, rather than the dramatizing, which is emphasized in the beginning class. The climax to this instruction is the group of three one-act plays given toward the end of the second semester of dramatics, which gives Thespian credit. This year the cast gave two appear- ances at high school of The Playgoersf' Off Nag's Head, and The Wonder Hatf' At Christmas, the beginning class presented a pantomime, l'The Doctor of Lonesome Folk, with fitting music accompaniment. This delightful allegory entertained two assemblies and the Parent-Teachers' meeting. As the book goes to press, industrious seniors are working to perfect their play, Once There Was A Princessv by Juliet Tompkins. This play also affords an excellent op- tunity for Thespian credit. It will be presented at the Washington School Auditorium on May 18 and 19. Nin ety 01719337 Toll Row-Aaron Shapiro, Hattie Hartman, Frances Peterson, Dorothy Richey, Bertha Gehrs, Robert Colvin.

THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY HE Senior Class play, a romantic comedy in three acts, brought a real princess to the Washington School Auditorium on May 18 and 19 through the efforts of the dramatic seniors and the careful coaching of Miss Mernitz. The faculty adviser of the business staff was Mr. Coe. The comedy opens in Italy with Princess Dellatorre, once simple Ellen Guthrie of Millertown, Indiana, renouncing the title of her late husband's estate in favor of her haughty mother-in-law, the Old Princess, i-n order to return to her home town in America. Meanwhile, the inhabitants of Millertown, who are going to get their Hrst glimpse ofa real princess, make extravagant preparations for Ellen's home-coming. When Ellen arrives, she is mistaken for the dressmaker whom the Boyds, her childhood friends, have employed. When she discovers that the townspeople are expecting a princess from a fairy tale instead of a simple, home-loving girl like herself, she goes to Chicago to get a more elaborate outfit in order not to disappoint the townsfolk. Ellen returns with much pomp and ceremony a-nd enacts the role of the princess they expect. Signor Moroni , Princess Dellatorre The Old Princess Hazel Boyd .... Mrs. Boyd .. .. . Mrs. Purrington ....

THE PLAYGOERSH by Arthur Wing Pinero In this comedy, the autocratic master and mistress of the house decide to make life more interesting and enjoyable for their new flock of servants by giving them occasional treats, the first to be a theatre party. Because the parlor maid gets an extra ticket for her friend, the cook demands one for her favorite nephew. After many heated arguments, all of the servants suddenly leave the master and mistress- all except the odd man, who, because of a continual grin and a habit of intruding, won himself the esteemed position of a regular servant.

A doctor, called to care for the fisherman's sick wife, unearths a fifty-year old mystery of the sea through a portrait, carefully guarded by its demented owner. A piercing cry, blended with the raging elements, announces the suicide of the old, demented woman, and draws the play to a close. The cast: Fisherman .... . . .Seymour Cohen Old Woman .........

CRUMB BILOOM BAND HE story of the Bloom band for '32-'33 is very different from that of any previous year. Because of the proposed cutting of all Bloom musical activities for this school year it seemed doubtful for a time whether the band would continue. Realizing, however, the great harm discontinuance would inflict upon an organization composed of members from all classes, from incoming freshmen to outgoing seniors, a committee of parents interested in the maintainance of musical instruction for students, together with Mr. Crumb, whose earnest efforts to keep the band alive are greatly appreciated, formed a plan whereby the band might be able to exist. This plan was laid before the Board and met with its approval. The Board would pay sow, the parents sow, and the band itself ZOQQ. In order to raise its quota the band gave a series of winter-spring concerts-four in number. At each concert a guest artist or artists were presented: Nov. 18-James Funk, vocal soloist, Dec. 16-Kankakee jug Band, Jan. 20-Rosalynde B. Hutchinson, whistling soloist, Feb. 24-Mrs. Freda Jay Woodward, vocal soloist. Besides playing at football games, pep meetings, and a parent-teacher meeting, the band presented two other concerts, on February 27, at Bradley High School, to encour- age their band work, and the second on March 3, for the entertainment of the Glenwood Manual Training School boys. The band also plans to join in the celebration of Music Week in May with a final concert. Introducing a new and delightful feature, the Bloom organization 'in conjunction with the Junior Ashlar Band sponsored a dance during the Christmas vacation. It was a gala affair attended by band members and their friends. Through its series of concerts the band this year has not only contributed to its own upkeep, but has added much to the musical atmosphere of the community. Th: concerts were patronizecl by many music lovers not o-nly for the maintainance of music at Bloom, but also for a good evening's enjoyment.

AGRICULTURE CLUB NDER the able guidance of Mr. Rowley the Agriculture department enjoyed its second year of existence. The two courses offered, namely Animal Husbandry and Soils and Crops have greatly aided the boys in pursuing Mother Nature's livelihood. Eleven boys were enrolled in the former course, while fourteen boys were listed in the latter. Bloom throughout the year has had various judging teams, which have competed with other high schools and have made creditable standing. In June the boys will attend the state contest to be held at the University of Illinois. One boy, Leslie Porter, won the district Future Farmer's Oratorical contest and received the Future Farmer's medal. In conjunction with this department Mr. Rowley maintained a green house at the Glenwood Manual Training School. Here the students gained additional knowledge and experience in horticulture. As a benefit to the adult farmers of this region, Mr. Rowley conducted a series of weekly evening classes, where 'problems of the farm and the methods of solving them were the subjects of discussion. Some of the phases covered were potato culture, care and management of poultry, and various other subjects relating to agriculture. Since this is the second year of Bloom's Future Farmers' Organization, several boys will be eligible for the degree of State Farmer. This degree is conferred upon a boy after he has shown unusual and distinctive merits in agriculture. Ninefy-six At the end of the Hall of Jars lies a garden of exquisite beauty.

Wild as a gypsy, Wanton body glistening with foam-jewels, Crying aloud upon the heady air Her brazen shout of animal ecstasy. You are a sullen, brooding woman When the skies are leaden And the sun is sunk Behind dull, sodden clouds. When thunder rolls reverberating down the skies, And savage lightning splits in two the heavy air, You are a woman crazed with fury. At dawn, when rosy clouds slip thru' the heavens And softly kneel at the horizon, The gentle murmur of your waters Moves upon the sand, Like the pulsations of a young girl's heart Upon the object of her adoration. -Mary Walter Ninety-seven 4THE BLOOM JIGSAW Jigsaw, jigsaw, come together, Piece by piece a picture form. Scenes of ocean and of heather, Noonday sun and midnight storm. Hours of fun and joy galore, V ' Make the speeding moments pass. In doing something I adore, I'm nearly always late to class. My marks fall lower day by day, My teachers talk to me in vain. But, ah, I see a saving ray, The jigsaw craze is on the wane! -Doris Mackay I'M ILAZY HAVE you ever lain abed and listened to the plodding milk horse, then pulled the covers closer? Have you ever looked at the clock and realized that you still have half an hour to sleep? Do you like to relax in a good comfortable chair and let your mind wander as the radio hums? Have you ever awakened and felt the pleasure of knowing that today I am free to go where I please and then spent the day doing so? Surely you have enjoyed the serial immediately after an evening meal when you are content with life? Well, I am one that can do all these things with pleasure. There is no purpose other than physical comfort and mental inertia, but it is a good feeling, and I like to loaf. Gradually the World is becoming better acquainted with the fact that I am a born loafer. As yet I am not an 'accomplished loafer, that is, not in the eyes of the natives, for I find little enjoyment at the neighborhood pool room. It is not yet the scene of my leisure hours. Nor do I go to town every Wednesday and Saturday night, and sit from 6:50 until 10 just to watch the people who have also come to watch the people. Again, I am afraid I fail to qualify as a true loafer as judged by local standards, for I neither come early to the assembly nor stay late therein. Having been born into a family that starts reading Qthe comicsj at an early age, I find plenty of excuse to let studies go, four out of seven evenings, while I read my preferred books. Another accomplishment is that of being tired. Saturday mornings and sometimes Sundays I loaf, trying to convince myself into thinking I am tired and am still sleeping. If my desires were followed, my room would soon look like a Near East Bazaar, with everything I own on view. The time formerly used in keeping my belongings in order would then become loafing time. In my own family my reputation as a loafer stands high. Even my best friends know it-and tell me. My three pet ways to loaf seem to be reading, sleeping, and going places. To my mind there are three places in this world really made for loafingz these are in bed, on ships, and in the beer gardens of Germany. -Andrew Ray N inely-eigbl O F 1 9 3 3 P PARIS SAYS SO! BACK in the flourishing days of '28, when there was a car in every garage with gasoline to run it, and the stock market mounted like Pike's Peak, Parisian modistes snapped their fingers and decreed long skirts. This was as unexpected to the waiting women as a salary raise in 1933. For several years, short skirts had fluttered above the feminine knee, dimpled or otherwise. The leading magazine hullabalooed over the modern freedom of women's clothes, their escape from the suffocating unmentionables that had hampered their grandmothers, etc. So the Paris designers certainly hit upon a controversial point. I was one of the hardy supporters of short skirts. With frenzied speech, I implored my friends not to submit to this outrageous exploitation of femininity by .those Parisians. I vowed there would be no long skirts trailing about my legs. Alas, there came a day when my vow petered out, and my skirts all but swept the floor. Scheming diabolically, those Parisians next concocted the Eugenie hat out of three inches of felt and a dyed chicken feather. This was another revolutionizing innovation, for prior to this, women had worn their hats pulled down over their ears and foreheads, leaving only portions of the lower face to protrude. Millinery sales zoomed crazily. Women sauntered about self-consciously with half their heads exposed. I was one of them, although at first I had clung to my old felt as a challenge to style. Months passed by. Eugenie hats faded faster than a student's laughter suddenly frowned upon in the library. Paris snickered -up her fashionable sleeve at the millions of poor simpletons who followed her extravagant dictates, and introduced cob-web stockings. Fat legs, thin legs, chorus-girl legs, adolescent legs-all had their pair of these creations. After a sputtering protest, I likewise clothed my legs QI will not bother to classify themj. Meanwhile in the French capital, the modistes thumbed, Godey's Ladies' Book, and ancient albums in their search for new sensations. The results, triumphantly presented, were huge puffed sleeves, leg-o'-mutton sleeves, etc. I mentally argued with myself. How would these huge things fit under coats and jackets? At the same time, however, I bought some, and vainly strutted before the mirror. Months again flew by-months of puffed sleeves, flared sleeves, pleated sleeves, crazy sleeves, anything but straight sleeves. Then came the fatal night. Blissfully unaware that in one lazy second I should be plunged into sorrow, I fingered the evening news- paper-the funnies, Dorothy Dix, Mandel's sale. Suddenly I saw it! Men's clothes for women! The paper dropped from my palsied hand. I was stunned! Femininity, that had achieved such lovely, ruffled effects, coming to this! Bitterness swelled within me at those Parisians, smugly sitting back and enjoying my consternation. H The days are passing. Already I have seen women, nattily attired in masculine clothes, strutting down Michigan Avenue. Furthermore, an alluring movie star still looks alluring in them. Who knows! Perhaps I shall soon be like my brother discussing expertly the merits of tW0-trouser suits. -Mary Walter MEMORY Soft white hands in still repose The lingering fragrance of a rose, The dim dark room with lights turned low And everything in place+just so. Isn't it odd how memory clings? One ought to strive to forget such things. The tiny hands in still repose, The lingering fragrance of a rose. V -Mafrtlaa Peterson ' Ninefy-nine 4 T H E B L 0 0 M AlLADD1lN'S LAMP LADDIN'S Lamp! What an aura of romance and glamour surrounds these words. From childhood days, all know the old story of its wonder-working power to satisfy all desires, even to bearing us to the brink of the Brook of Dreams. Rub it while sitting on a sod-covered bank watching white, fleecy air galleons traverse the blue vault of heaven, or while walking through a rainy, chilly, gusty night, it makes abso- lutely no difference. I have tested its power o'er dreams while riding in an old wagon on a bumpy street. It is not where you are, but where you are going. Dreams change with the seasons. In winter, I may be transported to Africa exploring the Mountains of the Moon, or I may pay a visit to the Raining Forest. Again I may be in Central America exploring the ancient Maya cities reconstructing their way of living in my mind's eye. In summer, I may be up in the Canadian Rockies. Canoe- ing, studying Nature, and camping occupy my time. I tramp for days and do not see a solitary sign of man's passing. I am all alone with just the great trees and the azure sky above, and soft, fragrant pine needles underfoot. If I become tired of tramping, it is a simple matter to find myself on the cool mountain slopes gazing on the majestic grandeur of those pillars of heaven, which were old before man was young. The season which has the most effect on dreams is spring. With the sun laughing, breezes caressing your cheek, springy turf beneath your feet, and a young man's fancy turning to love, how can one help but succumb to the languorous passion. Before you know it, you are on a white charger slaying fifteen dragons with one flashing thrust of your trusty blade. It is a gruesome battle, but think of the reward that awards you. The portcullis raised, the drawbridge lowered, and the girl of your dreams is before you. Her features are rather indistinct, but you know she is the most beautiful creature in the universe. Heaven help the person who contradicts you! Her tender hands bathe your wounds, she lulls you to sleep with her low, melodious voice and lute. You awaken refreshed to find her soulful, violet eyes upon your manly countenance. Your heart overflows with love. Aha! In comes the villain with his band of vandals and dastards. Now to prove again your ardor to your dear one! In three strokes, you have demolished the blackguards! Have done with specific figments of dreams. In generalizing my worthy theme, my praises cannot be too profuse. The dreamer possesses Aladdin's lamp, with its boon of imagination, greatest power ever conferred on man. You have all heard that- Life is but a dream, Make that dream come true, You're King for a day. Sad indeed is the fate of the stolid, unimaginative Homo-Sapiens. He has a tre- mendous handicap to overcome. Never can he escape realities. He must remain for- ever chained to the earth. He cannot soar away on Hermes' sandals to unknown lands. Eternally must he submit to the vulture tearing at his vitals and unheeded, pray to be set free. A rub of Aladdin's lamp summons dream attended Imagination, Goddess greater than all the Olympian Gods! Thou knowest not what easing of heartaches and sorrows is the work of thy hand. Thou stretcheth forth thy wand and lo! the aspect of this vale of tears undergoeth a change, life becomes bearable. When I was a beggarly boy, I lived in a cellar damp. I had not a friend or toy, But I had Aladdin's Lamp. When I could not sleep for the cold, I had fire enough in my brain And builded, with roofs of gold My beautiful castles in Spain. -Henry Nicolai One Hundred 0 F 1 9 3 3 r LONDON PLAGUE IIT IS London, December, 1664. The city is gay with the holiday spirit. Markets stream with noisy bargainers. The gorgeous coaches of court ladies roll over the cobbled streets. Theaters are packed with friendly, jostling crowds. Across the nar- row streets, a serving man calls a greeting to a lady's maid. On the corners, hawkers scream their gaudy wares. Outside of London, in the parish of St. Giles, a little group of mourners is gathered around a grave. With gray faces, they chant a hymn. Was it really the plague? one mumbles beneath the slow dirge. It is London, September, 1665, and the plague is spreading through the city as steadily and steathily as the rise of dirty flood waters. The royal palaces no longer echo to the sophisticated chatter of jewelled ladies and powdered gentlemen. There are no more gorgeous dinners with wines and fancy pastries from the hot, steaming kitchens. The extravagant drawing rooms, where the king flirted with his painted mistresses, are empty. The terror of the plague has exiled the frivolity and dissipation that the Puritans have harangued so long. Mansions of the wealthy and the lesser houses of the middle class are silent. The dreaded death lists, which tell the increasing number of deaths each week, have sent their inhabitants rushing frantically from the cursed city. In the slums, the people still cling desperately to life, horrible though it is. Since trade is at a standstill and the wealthy have departed, they have no employment. Each one huddles in his dark room, afraid to venture out or to remain within. Each waits -for the pittance of food that is doled out by the frantic city council, and after that, for the dreaded swelling of the plague, or the rattle of the death cart. The theaters are merely empty buildings now. For months, only the pattering of rats has echoed across the empty pit and dark galleries. The streets are deserted, except for the watcher who stands before each infected house. Occasionally a nurse or burier hurries by, with his red wand before him, sig- nifying his employment. After dusk, the death carts rumble through the city. Before the stricken houses with red crosses upon the door and the letters, Lord, have mercy on us, the driver halts and cries, Bring out your dead. The distracted Lord Mayor from his safe abode at Oxford orders fires to be lighted in the streets to burn refuse and purge the air of its impurities. That night, as the fires eat down the gutters and flame up into the shadows, the tortured victims of the plague shriek upon their beds. In the morning, a soggy rain falls. Acting upon further orders, the whole populace sets to work to get rid of all dogs, cats, rats, etc.-carriers of the plague. Within a few days, orders are carried out and only the rats still run through the thick walls, spreading the disease. Inside the houses, people pray, others clutch amulets and charms, and others base their hopes on the quack medicines that sell so easily. The death lists increase until there are seven thousand dead in one week. Gradually, however, the deaths lessen. At the first signs of this abatement, the streets fill with people, ecstatic at release from their close-shut houses into the clean English air. Trade resumes its thronging way. The wealthy flock back from the country, dust off their gilt furniture, and take up life where they left off. The poor greet these arrivals with the joy that comes from relieved despair, and resume their accustomed work. The city council moves ponderously back from Oxford. For a while the plague dominates conversationg but presently, people again begin discussing the newest fashions, the weather, news from abroad, and new life ebbs in to heal thc scar. -Mary Walter One Hundred One One Hundred Two 4 T MY ILIKIES I like to hear sweet melodies Come floating o'er the airg ' The martial strains for tramping feet, The song of love so fair.

H STUDENT J GUYS Of all the simple classroom delights to be enjoyed while an explanation is in progress is that of thumbing text books that have been in use for two or more years. Within the covers of text books is much information-good, necessary, amusing, and often foolish. The good and necessary information has been printed, with the bookg the amusing and foolish by the book's possessors. Classes are listed in fancy letters. The pure and the bad students checked off by old student critics of that day. Initials are linked, weather conditions tabulated, and phone numbers scrawled. In one cover of the fly leaf is a bygone assignment with loving student comments. On the other side one may decipher a note, wherein some boy's date is given, commented on, and concluded. Some potential artist has drawn his interpretation of the instructors. With each succeeding year the owners add their sarcastic comments to the original. And through the years, the books become heavy with student additions, good, bad, and worse. But often some downhearted student suddenly finds a good joke that starts him off afresh.

Her team was in perfect condition. The star quarter back, Vernon Pearson, looked adorable in his gold and blue suit, while Ray Logan s physique made many a feminine heart come to a stand still. The cut of the helmet brought forth Lawrence Simon's baby face perfectly. The referee tripped lightly out on to the field and twittered his whistle for the game to begin. The boys rushed forward fiercely. Melvin Fuller got his feet mixed up and fell. He got up, combed his hair, and once more rushed forward. Bloom then called time out. They were falling behind in the score and something had to be done. Jimmy Meyers took out a dainty pink hanky and mopped his beady brow. They again started the game. The game continued on till our brave Romeos were on the verge of being whitewashed. Something had to be done. Our All American player, David Frielander was called upon to save them from defeat. He trotted up and down before the bleachers many times to show off his slim figure from all angles. I-Ie then picked up his brief case, put it in charge of Coach Sarif, and skipped out onto the field. But alas-it was too late- the referee's whistle sounded out the dreary notes of defeat for our team. Senior Girl. One Hundred Twenty-Iwo OF 1933? W. H. Stolte-Robert N.
