ULU' 6661726 61-IE history of the world is the history of progressg each era is a fresh link in an ever lengthening chain of adventurous aspirations and accomplishments. In this, Bloom's New Era, the perfect beauty of our New Building has brought to us the message, too low they build who build beneath the stars. Read the inspiring words of greater Bloom, and vision with us, the Alumni of the future marching on, gallantly carrying forward the traditions of the past--of this our school founded and builded upon sincerity and truth.

WHITFIELD M. L. SLUGG 4 H. W. ADAIR H. E. WOODWARD L, E, YENTZER The Board of Education for the year 1933-34 consisted of the President, Mr. Adair, Secretary, Mr. Whitfield, Mr. Slugg, Mr. Mathews, and Mr. Poorman-men who some years ago visioned a new Bloom and whose constant hope and efforts centered in the completion of. the building. With the spring election, two vacancies were filled by Mr. H. E. Woodward and Mr. L. E. Yentzer. With such an able personnel of interested schoolmen, we feel that the many problems still facing Bloom will be met with foresight and wisdom. Our Zrifufe To the memory of Mr. William Mathews whose many years as a member of the Board of Education were marked by his constant devotion to the welfare of the students of Old Bloom and to meeting their growing needs in a glorious New Bloom, the 1934 Annual expresses the earnest regard of the student body and community: His was the joy of realizing - Fled is the dream, and working year by year We see our building rising, tier on tier. This is his wreath and his memoriallv I2 HILDUR SODERMAN The commodious oflices in New Bloom require much more official responsibility, but Miss So- derman meets each new occasion with the quiet graciousness that has always characterized her. Now a familiar figure in her role as acting secre- tary to the principal, many hours are devoted to general supervision of all records, tabulating hon- ors, and giving necessary information to the teachers. M I-' STELLA LEACH What our ofHcial bookkeeper, Mr. Wilson, would do without his assistant, Stella Leach, cannot be conceived as we watch her at her desk keeping our financial house in order. Checking records of the treasurers of organizations, receipt- ing payments, writing checks, and balancing all monies handled during the year is a real job. HARRIET KRUSE The additional demands for announcements concerning the varied activities and the larger schedule adopted keep Harriet Kruse busy. While checking daily attendance and mimeographing daily bulletins is her chief duty, she willingly responds to special calls from the faculty. I3 If gy!! pf s A .DW Florence V. Wallace Ethel Mellinger Ida H, Way Frances Haessler Marjorie Switzer Grace Simmons 'Pauline Drinkwater Miriam Brewer Cgnqfislz eparfmelzf Striving not only to instill in the students a sound knowledge of good, practical English but also to promote acquaintance with Tennyson and Scott and other such conductors into the realism of imagination, the English Department of Bloom has al- ready accomplished much. Now, in order to create a still deeper interest and more sin- cere pleasure in the pursuit of this study, the department is making tentative plans for changes in the curriculum for next year.

Norman Evamay Futcher Isobel Mathews E. Pearl Hess Helen Marshall Ora M. Theobald ociaf Science apartment A department of supreme interest to the student throughout his four years in high school is the Social Science Department. Civics, studied in his first year, precedes the various kinds of history-ancient, modern, and American. Advanced Government and Economics may be taken as Senior electives. X ' Under the directorship of Miss Smith and a competent staff of assistants, the students obtain a very usable store of knowledge in history, the forms of government, and man,s various business relations. Without the use of the library, this department could hardly have carried on, for each subject requires extra reading, which only our very efficient library can offer. This department turns out students who are far more capable of attacking the prob- lems of social and economic life than the ordinary person. Adeline M.

Freshmen are first introduced to this department through physiology, an interesting study designed to give the student an understanding of the functions of his body. As sopho- mores, a more advanced study in both the plant and animal kingdoms is opened to the students by the biology department. Juniors and seniors may delve into the field of either physics or chemistry, or into both if they wish. In the Home Economics department, girls of all classes are taught the essentials of cooking and sewing through actual experience. Though avoided in many other schools, the science department at Bloom has been made one of the most attractive courses, such results are due to the ceaseless efforts of its faculty supervisors.

Herr Aloa Haskett .jfaflzemafics and .gcuzquaqe eparfmeizfs A three-fold foreign language course offers German with its scientific influence, French with its cultural background, and Latin, the foundation of our own language. The classes have other interests beside learning the fundamentals of the language. The German class learned Christmas Carols which they rendered for Yuletide entertainment. Members of the French class carry on a correspondence with students in France. The Latin students, making sure that they wouldn't be forgotten on Christmas morn, wrote letters in Latin to Santa Claus. Ralph F.

A student gains the fundamentals of drafting and archiecture in the drawing rooms. He is taught to visualize the object and portray it on paper as a professional draftsman might. In pattern-making, tin-shop, moulding, steel-lathe, wood-lathe, and planing, of which the shop-work consists, the student gains the knowledge of a machinist, carpenter, moulder, pattern-maker, and tinner. This taste of actual experience in various jobs offered in the industrial world aids the student in determining his career. W. P. Dyer: Manual Training Qheadj, Dean of Boys, Assistant Principal.

Veazey ommercia .Teparfmenf The commercial department offers four years of study to the interested student. In his first year, a general course in business training and in retail selling prepares him for what is to follow. The intricacies of bookkeeping in his second year prove to him the necessity of neatness and accuracy. In the junior and senior years, the really advanced course of the stenographer-that of raking and transcribing of shorthand notes, is studied. Long periods of diligent prac- tice and study find their reward in the carrying of small cards inscribed with the Various rates of speed attained. A class recently inaugurated is the Bloom Office Practice Class where the students learn to do by doing. They aid the various departments of school in the typing of tests, correspondence, and other required material. Commercial students of Bloom, upon graduation, are fitted for a position even if they have no further training.

They led us on and on and on To where the light shone through, They gave our hearts that needed hope The New Era nigher grew. They led us on to better things, They helped our minds to grow, They shaped our thoughts in channels wide just where thoughts ought to go. They trained us in so many things, That we found interests wide, They helped along our faltering steps, Until we caught our stride. When we are old and gone from Bloom And scattered wide and far, When we have reached success at last, Attained our shining star, When we a picture grand have made A master-piece created, Or thrilled the nation with a speech, Our teachers, how elated! We give to them the credit great Our thanks to them redoundg They really earned it all you know Their efforts now are crowned. -Alvirm Eblen casrrmzag-' .'1g-V-nV.-v,2'- .-,.,.'-I.-ig Y-1-Qjff-i?J:.k.3i 'ff6'Vf ,': 'x-1 '.1:f. ..2.:1-:T.'- .E 5 5- - .1 -. -5 ff 'inf 9- P 1 x 5.

It has been fortunate in 'attaining the goal of every class since 1931-graduation from New Bloom. The responsibility of translating time-hallowed traditions to new surroundings has found willing senior leaders. As pioneers of needed changes and many additions, the class of 1934 has aimed to maintain the high ideals of Bloom's history. The task and honor of leading this class went early in the fall term to most deserving seniors. Phil Pfeil was chosen presidentg Winifern Helme, vice-president, Bernice Olsen, secretary, and Robert Alexander, treasurer. As class sponsor, Miss Isobel Mathews became the personal friend of every senior through her wise counsel. The leaders, with the support of the class, were able to promote many notable class projects. Perhaps the greatest of these was the least ta-ngible-that of acting in cooperation with Mr. Puckett to raise the standards of efhciency among all the classes. Upon pro- posal of the principal, a Student Affairs Board was established, in which seniors played a prominent part with faculty counsel. We boast of being one of the few classes which has had two mayors of the City of Bloom. Two Senior-Junior parties preceded the annual farewell dinner-dance, the climax of the social year for the seniors. The new cafeteria was beautifully transformed for these functions. Fourteen seniors who attained the scholastic and activity requirements were rewarded with membership in the National Honor Society. Some disciples of the Greek Thespis became National Thespians. Several of these outstanding dramatists were chosen for their performances in the Senior-Class Play, 'lThe Torch-bearers. June 15 saw in the hands of the student body the much anticipated Bloom Annual. As usual, autograph seekers thronged the halls of Bloom. After four such happy years at Bloom, we saw new careers-careers without the steadying, familiar influence of all that Bloom sta-nds for. May the joyous, courageous spirit of the New Era carry the class of 1934 to triumph! 212 Robert Alexander Thornton Township High School 1, 25 Semester Honors fall 3, 45 Councilman 45 Hall Guard 35 Treasurer of Senior Classg Lightweight Basketball 45 Audubon Society 45 Physics Club 45 Fireman 4.

Class. To you, my friends, is extended the privilege of familiarly calling him ujuniorf, In my estimation- and I know I am not alone in it-Junior is the player you have turned over desks and dignity searching for. Who is better equipped to be Dealer? All his life he has shuffled Qwith skill and successj activities of greatest responsibility. I realize that there are three other worthy competitorsg but let me warn you against the misplay of judging by brawn, egoism, or too great humbleness. Rather judge by character and past per- formance. Surely you are not ignorant of Junior's accomplishments? Bid heavily on Iunior s intelligence, for he headed the Brain Trustu. Who else received such high honors from Hoyle? Junior was the leader of the A.A.A. The All- American Athletes fought for and entertained the Bloom pack. junior led the P.W.A. workers to heights to which they had never before aspired. The Prom workers did an ,excellent job, did they not? On the J.A.P. Qto those of you who are not familiar, the Junior Assembly Programj he drew forth laughter so great that the beams fairly beamed with joy, and the pillars shook so that they had to have the fifty-three Hoyles hold their sides. Juniofs desk is composed of these cards: honor, humor, work, friendliness, willingness, and versatility. You will find Junior an excellent representative in all tricks and games. Those voting for Junior, put your bids in the trey g and if you don't vote for him, you're bound to suffer like the deuce ! Remember, junior is trump. 40 Marjorie Adair May Alexander Mary Aprati Edna Andersohn Louis Anderson Anne Angus Stuart Angus Florence Arcaris Jerome Banks Orvis Barrett Joy Berther Velda Bishop Robert Boese Robert Booth Lois Buchanan Richard Burdett Johnnie Butler Geraldine Bydalek Hazel Carlseen Howard Carlseen Vera Carnagey Helen Collignon Anna Cosentino Lois Dahl Ruth Danielson Mary Darin James Dionne George DeVine Carol Drew Helen Druzbicki Leah DuBridge WVilliam Dudleston Oliver Einhorn Vernon Einhorn Ruth Evans Mary Lou Freeman Esther Friedlander Leslie Fuller Wyotta Fuller Vincent Ginkus Howard Griggs Geraldine Guy Genevieve Hagens Kathryn Harr Viola Harrett Melvin Herman Elmer Hibbs Alvin Hixon .2 J W Jack Hocking James Hollimzsed Fred Holtz Joseph Horecney Dorothy Jaeger John Jarmotz Electa Johnson Helen Johnson Virgil Johnson Frederick Kampe Viola Keene Ruth Kirchhoff Florence Kozlowski Katherine Krantz Lorraine Krantz Eloise Krupka Lillian Kuster Walter Labhart Bernice Leach Raymond Lennertz Julian Leonhardi Anita Lewis Edgar Lewis Joe Linko George Low Miriam Luecke Miriam Leurs Albert Lupien lllildred Lyell Harold Martin Helen Martin Vida Matthies Evelyn Mattox Richard McClanahan Quincy McEldowney Earl McKee Marie McKee Dorothy Mendenhall Ruth Mertens , Velma Midghall Edward Mitchell ,Toe Montella Leona Muenzenberger Marie Nelson Violet Nelson John Owens John Olivieri Helen Olson .

How many of us high and mighty juniors cannot remember our freshman days? Ah, I'll admit it seems a long, long way back in the dim, dark past, but freshman memories have a habit of staying with one, and using these memories as a basis for reasoning, who of us would wish to exchange our present status for that of a lowly freshman? Not that I have anything against the freshmen, of course, but for a junior to leave his exalted position and tumble from the heights to being a freshman again? The very idea is preposterous! We have no wish to regain that greenish look, that cringing appearance when an upperclassman approaches, to be trampled on again. Indeed not! And sophomores? Oh, we may be tolerant, slightly and with reservations, of them. They have lost that out-of-school conceit of being in high school, they are not quite so blunderingly new. We hope they realize their place in the school. We may look condescendingly down upon themg but once again, to try to compare 'a Junior with the merely budding, the still potential sophomore is ridiculous. Seniors are a different matter. We must admit without question that they have a prestige in the school that is to be envied. They are worldly, experienced. But what is this compared to the joy, as a junior, of looking forward to the coming honor! The position, once attained, becomes empty and worthless without a further goal to pursue. The end of high school days is at handg what is there left now? But we, as juniors, need not face the tremendous event of leaving high school. The things we work for we will still be able to enjoy another year. We have still another step to climb. It is now evident that to be a freshman or sophomore again is ridiculous, and the joys of a senior are small compared with those of a junior. By the process of elimination, what is left? Why, be a junior, of course. .goofing ghrward The junior class is looking forward To the year of SS When its high school days are over, But its spirit will survive And will aid the future juniors For the good of all to strive To keep Q'O1d Bloom's,' traditions Everlasting and alive. I 44 Che Junior Wofehook One of the most interesting things we have in Bloom is the junior notebook, I might say each junior's notebook. Unlike the freshman notebook, kept entirely for class notes, assignments, and perhaps the room numbers, and the sophomore notebook, an uninterest- ing conglomeratiofn of assignments, notes, papers dropped by upper classmen and con- taining the long sought-for autograph, the junior notebook is a complete kit. When exploring into the depths of one of these, one might find dance programs from the junior-senior parties, social hour favors, and programs of all sports. Besides this assort- ment is the array of last semester's football records, basketball program, and track records. Most juniors like to keep their excuses which have been graciously autographed by teachers. The ones which recline in the notebooks are, I'm glad to say, white. The pink one, if there ever were any, have mysteriously disappeared. In the junior girl,s notebook may be many multi-colored napkins rescued from the depths of a wastebasket to refresh that girl's memory of so gallant an event as a Girls' Club or G.A.A. Banquet. On the cover are usually ''some-day-to-be-famous etchings and names of well- meaning juniors. It is simply impossible for a junior with all his duties and pleasures to keep a notebook presentable. If there aren't three meetings after school that he has to attend, he has to hurry home, and as the notebook, poor thing, is always at the bottom of all the struggles to get everywhere he should, the results are often dis- astrous. Yet no matter how battered and worn, fthe notebook, not the juniorj the junior loves his notebook and finds it a real comfort. gras fed Qfnlzdows I think that frosted windows are The boons of majesty, The careful planning of each view Is interesting to see. We stand as Juniors, looking out Through the frosted pane, We wonder what the course will be, What charm is in each vein. We,re working hard because we know That contests are in store. We must prepare to hold our own Make life worth waiting for. We hope, at last, for light so great To guide us on our way, That in the place of frost and mist, Our futures loom up, gay. Each little line is one big task, A Work for busy handsg And when each one has faded out, We find what life commands. Pi 45 1 , 2 J, if J ,. K , 5 'Q I f ' r , 5 .

These are but few of the exclamations that rang through the halls of New Bloom on April 9, 1934. The long-awaited New Sophomore Deal had arrived! The sophomores were at last receiving recognition in being allowed to elect their class officers. Who would be the lucky persons to be the first sophomore class ofiiters elected in New Bloom? Ballots were handed out. Voters sat with deep frowns, puzzling over the long list of nominees. At last all ballots were counted. The primary election was over! Again voters sat with ballots before them. This time, however, it was not hard. There were only three persons running for each oiiice. Anxious students awaited results of the finals. At last! Crowds surged around the bulletin boards. Some students moved away with gay laughter and banteringg other faces showed disappointed frowns. Congratulations were given and received. Who was elected? Oh, of course, you want to know. John A.

One who has not indulged in it at some time or other? One who has not, through necessity or an insane desire, chewed the adhesive, elastic, highly flavored product? I have yet to meet such a person. Some people chew it merely because everyone else does, others because it quiets the nerves, fso the 'advertisements sayj, strengthens the gums and jaws, and whitens the teeth. Still others chew it faithfully to prevent double chins and to make the lips beautiful. Some chew gum for the sole purpose of irritating others, such as teachers. There are wild tales about its composition. Rumor says it is made of horses' hoofs, old inner tubes, rags, and cows' horns, but still it remains popular, some disbelieving these yarns and others chewing it through curiosity and a desire to experiment. It is really made from a substance called uchiclev and various flavors and colors and is no more harmful than a piece of home-made taffy. It has one bad point, however. It has the most provoking habit of adhering to anything it comes in Contact with which is not moist and slippery. Fingers, noses, chairs, floors, tables, and shoes-all have become familiar with its perseverance or stick- to-it-iveness! It has made a name for itself through the country, but sometimes the name is a bit uncomplimentary. Still, we must not judge too hastily. It has its good points. It satisfies hunger for a time, aids digestion, supposedly, keeps children from biting their fingernails and eating between meals, and countless other things, no doubt. Now I ask you, 'lCould America get along without its everlasting chewing gum?', 50 I Che Gflmericcuz .Man of .Eeisure If one could get a glimpse into the interior of a box car or at the railroad yards of any city, he would surely encounter the only picturesque figure left in the United States, The American Man of Leisure, commonly called The Hobof' Here is one lying in the corner of a box car on a small bunch of straw. He is lying in a very comfortable position with his hands thrown back of his head and his feet stretched out on the floor. He has on an old, tattered coat and baggy trousers that once belonged to a much more prosperous man. In a pocket of his coat is his lunch wrapped up in a newspaper that was donated to him by some kind housewife. His shoes are too tight for his feet and seem inclined to show a few of his toes. A dirty cap is upon his head, his hair is Very long and unkept and has not seen scissors for months. His eyebrows are bristly and under them is a pair of narrow, squinted eyes that are always blinking and roaming around the car, a trait developed from trying to elude the railroad detective. His nose is rather prominently proportioned, and to make it appear more like a gentleman's he has a moustache, which needs trimming very badly. His face is weather beaten, sun tanned, and very dirty. A cigarette is dangling from his lips unlighted because he is too lazy to light it again. Under his coat is a dirty shirt that was white once, and to make his appearance more striking he has on a dark purple tie. In a pocket of his shirt there is a very filthy sack of Bull Durham tobacco. He does not change his position frequently because every movement means using energy. His whole attitude is one of worldly peace, and he is the one and only Man of Leisure who enjoys doing nothing but loafing and does not worry about tomorrow. He sang of days in sunny spring, Of happy hours they would bring, Of fleecy clouds in shining skies, Of laughter caught in loved one's eyes. And as he sang his song to me Perched on the bough of barren tree, He sang so sweet this time of year I thought that spring were truly here. I Sl mzua .Boosters The freshman class is to be complimented upon the fine spirit they have shown in backing this year's annual. The number of freshman subscribers increased from fifty of last year to eighty-five this year. This insures for Bloom a progressive junior and senior class of the future, for it is those eighty-five freshmen, who have caught the spirit of school loyalty so soon who will be the leaders of the next years. It also means that through three years of constant association with the annual, they will become acquainted with the make up of the book. As seniors, their work on the year book should show the result of the early interest. The seniors thank these annual boosters, who have helped them to make their year book, the permanent record of four years achievement, a success.

The mayor, Working with the Council, directs the diversified program of the City of Bloomg and in order that the standard of efficiency of the city may be maintained, various departments carry on their respective duties. It is the faithful and exacting Work of these departments that made this administration a successful one. The city officials include the mayor, treasurer, and clerk, who are elected, and the appointed officials consisting of the chief-of-police, fire chief, locker inspectors, com- missioner of public improvement, and commissioner of publicity. The lost-and-found department and second-hand book store render valuable service to the entire school. Important divisions of the student organization are its standing committees, which are also appointed by the mayor. They include the social, program, and welfare groups. The City of Bloom was accorded a signal honor this year in the appointment of its mayor as Governor of the Illinois division of the National Organization of Student Government officials. In May, the City of Bloom was ,host to a successful convention of Illinois student governments at which a constitution for the state organization was drawn up.

Buzelli. Student Gomzci Bloom's student government is organized on much the same plan as that of a city government. Every semester a citizen of the City of Bloom is elected from each advisory group to represent that group in the council. Attending bi-weekly meetings, reportig to their respective groups the results of those meetings, suggesting improve- mentsi which might be made within the school, and voting upon motions are all duties expected of each good councilman. Other than the elected officers are the appointed oiiicials, among whom are the Chief of Police, who appoints all hall guards and monitors, the Social Chairman, Commissioner of Public Improvements, and Boys' and Girls' Locker Inspectors. . With Miss Smith acting as the able sponsor and with the mayor leading the discussion, many school problems are solved in the council meetings. Through the efforts of this body a snake dance and a bonfire were made possible, thus giving all of the students who participated a real thrill. The City of Bloom with the spirit of Christmas generosity, distributed eighteen baskets of food during the Yuletide Season. Revising the constitution, sponsoring nine social hours and five programs, and buying intramural shields and awards are but a few of the accomplishments which show the students of Bloom that their council is an active body. 54 Top Row-Ruth Smith, Jennie Janis, Clair McDonall, Edward Wright, Kenneth Weeks, Vincent Zanco, Andrew Urban, Eileen Weishaar, Ruth Nagle.

Now numbering one-hundred, these guards are stationed at various places in the halls throughout the building, and by careful checking, the problem of the ustraggler and the corridor conversationalistn has been solved. Only by means of a hall pass signed by a teacher may a student pass through the halls between classes. If he is unable to produce such a pass, he receives a blue slipf' A memorandum is made in the office, andthe offender is dealt with accordingly. The many corridors of the new school have necessitated the appointment of additional guards, until at the present writing there are one hundred guards, each at a designated place, one period of the day. Everyone on the force, selected by the Chief of Police, must have an average of C in order to serve during the semester. Because of the congested halls in Old Bloom, a system of afterschool guards was inaug- urated. These guards assured every studentis absence from the building by 4 o'clock. If a student remained after that time, he was given a pass by the teacher which enabled his passing the guards. Altogether, this force, which performs an invaluable service to the school, is a neces- sary element to the well-ordered routine of every growing institution.

Sfudemf Gfffairs oar Bloom's newest organization, the Student Affairs Board, was established early in the fall of 1933 at Principal Puckett's suggestion. This board, consisting of representative students and faculty members, controls those student and faculty affairs other than class-room. It approves many or initiates all new projects and scheduled events, and authorizes new clubs. Members of this year's board were appointed by the faculty, but in the future the positions will be elective. Departvnents All projects are developed through sub-committees composed of three faculty members and three students. These committees include: Home Room-This most important committee has charge of the reorganization of advisory groups and planning additions to the daily routine. Student Participation-This group confers with various activities and new endeavors of student government. , Scholarship-Scholarship Committee planned a system to promote high stand- ards of scholarship and service, and devised a chevron for recognition of such attainments. Point System-Revision of the old point system, thus affording Bloom an opportunity to develop many leaders, is the task completed by this group. Program-This committee arranges for or approves all general and special programs throughout the year. Art-The principal work of this group has been cleaning pictures and beauti- fying the general appearance of the building. 56 Standing-Adeline Niedly, Charles McKee, Catherine Woodward, Paul Mernitz, Myrtle Moyer, Franklin Krumm, Ruth Nagle, Frances Gregory.

Membership in the society is restricted to not more than fifteen percent of the senior class who have maintained a scholastic average of at least 90 percent during their high school course. Three elections may be held to obtain this quota. Established to recognize leadership as well as scholarship, the society has been foremost in promoting high scholastic ideals and in developing high standards of leadership, char- acter, and service-all requisites for membership in the society. The success of the organization is revealed by the accomplishments of the individual members, all outstanding workers in various high school activities. Numbered among the achievements are: Staff heads on Bloom Annual Competent library assistants Consistent honor roll members Outstanding promoters of athletics Leaders in musical organizations Members of National Thespians Recognized by the pin symbolic of the National Honor Society, members are respected and regarded not only as leaders at Bloom, but also as the future leaders of the outside world, which presently demands patriotic, enterprising youth. 57 Standing-Amelia Spina, Miss Mernitz Csponsorj, Ingeborg Kempe, Charles McKee, Paul Mernitz, Helen johnson, Emilie Koehler, Martha Peterson Qsecretaryj .

They elected the following officers from their number, Euphemia Barrett, presi- dent, Ethel Kline, vice-president, Gertrude Pfeil, secretary-treasurer. Meeting weekly after school, they decided to admit as associate members all students who had completed two terms of dramatics and who wanted to earn additional Thespian credit. A one-play-a-month plan was adopted to give opportunity for completing acting and stage-craft requirements.

Recent projects included providing new draperies and lighting equipment for Room 317, a trip by several Thespians to Northwestern University as guests for their Dramatic Day, other occasional theatre parties, and finally, more crew work on the Senior Play. 58 Top Row-Julia Piotrowski, Gertrude Scheiwe, Marjorie Trapnell, Ingeborg Kempe, Winifern Helme.

L. C. celebrates its 10th birthday in splendid new quarters, the loveliest library in Cook County. No teacher or student of Bloom but knows the willing service ren- dered to our school by the girls of the library family. In their busy round they devote an hour a week to formal instruction in library technique and an hour daily to desk work and informal library practise. During crowded hours they are ever eager to give their extra time that the charging may be quick and eiiicient. Their duties seem to be ever increasing and more exacting, but you will find each one welcoming the opportunity to put into effect all the knowledge absorbed in class. The supreme accomplishment of the Library Club was moving from old to new Bloom. After weeks of planning during which our 7,500 books were tied in bundles of ten and neatly labeled by section and shelf, the actual moving was a mere matter of three hours. At Old Bloom .half of the girls and their helpers under the supervision of Miss Mar- shall loaded the truck. At the new building an air of activity and excitement prevailed. In its modernistic and colorful dress the new library needed only the books to make it our own. Under the supervision of Miss Hess, the library girls received the books, hurried them to the proper shelves, and while the truck returned for another load, the strings were cut, and Presto! we were rea-dy for work. Perhaps the most delightful spot to the girls is the cozy Office where in their own corner they may study quietly or hold conference on City of Bloom, Broadcaster, and Annual work. So many happy hours are spent in this, our library. Masefield's philosophy might well be inscribed over the doorway, The days that make us happy, make us wise. 59 lfzifl 'H .

The club surpasses almost every other organization in Bloom in its number of activi- ties. Friendship Tag Day Was one of the Hrst of these, and practically every student could be seen proudly displaying a tag. Then, the timid freshies were entertained de- lightfully at the Freshmen Frolic. Christmas, also, sent a joyous Christmas party to the Community Center to bring Santa Claus to unfortunate kiddies. The artistic abilities of the girls were brought to the front in the fun and excitement of decorating the much-longed for club room at New Bloom. The best of times was acclaimed by the twenty-five Bloom girls who attended the annual Girls' Conference in Highland Park. In cooperation with the Home Economics Club, the girls entertained their mothers at an enjoyable tea and exhibit of foreign arts and crafts. The G. A. A. joined in helping to give an enjoyable day for every girl in Bloom on Girls' Play Day for all suburban schools. An installation ceremony on June 5 concluded a very successful year for our Girls Club. il 60 GLIMPSES! Curtain! Some of us. After the conference--a clamor for ice cream. Irish melodists. Our prexy.

Extra! This exclamation often announced the bi-weekly edition of the paper which expresses the life and the spirit of Bloom--The Broadcaster. Because of a generous offer for paying subscriptions, the subscription list reached almost six hundred, but this demanded continuous checking by the business manager. Stimulated by a new principal as well as a new building, the staff of the Broadcaster, like many other departments 'in school, has revised some old methods and originated new plans for distribution and payment. The manner of distribution through home room groups was abandoned because of the lack of time at the advisory meetingsg and after entrance into the new building, it was carried on by placing the folded papers in the lockers of the subscribers. Papers were also sold at hall stands to students who wished to know the current news and spice of the school. The staff itself consisted of advanced journalism students assisted by the Journalism A class. Cub reporters, representing the underclassmen, added many creditable articles to the different issues. Very definite benefits to the staff were the monthly Press Guild meetings in Chicago, where staff members heard lectures, round table discussions, entered writing tourna- ments, and made contacts with outstanding journalists. Another helpful source of information was that of the magazine and paper exchanges. These papers from dista-nt parts held rich ideas and suggestions, which spurred the staff on to excel others. The responsibility of making -public all 'important school news and events was that of the Broadcaster staff. A hope for even greater achievement urges present and future journalists to carry on the name of The Broadcaster. 62 f . tiff l Top Row-Irving Einhorn, Arthur Thompson, Arnold Kluendcr, Lowell Swope, Ernest Starring, Edgar Lewis, Franklin Krumm, Evert Werner, Charles McKee, Charles Grabow.

To contribute to the beauty and practicability of this piece of furniture and to nurture the common sense on the ground floor are the endeavors of the Physics Club. Tedious study, due to class routine, is eliminated, for the individual members conduct research only in those fields which are of special interest to them. To students who have completed the physics course, it opens the field of advanced physics and kindred sciences. This advanced and individual study is made possible through the appreciated sponsorship of Mr. Gonzales and Mr. Coe. Mr. Gonzales specializes in the kodak, and Mr. Coe in the radio, field. Together t.hey provide excellent guidance for the entire range of the field of Physics. Although yet in its infancy, the club has proved its mettle. The organization is so arranged as to encourage every member to take part. Members are expected either to give a demonstration before the club, or to contribute apparatus made by themselves such as posters or other contributions which can be handed down to the succeeding members of the club. In this manner every one can contribute toward the effectiveness of the organization. Besides the regular bi-weekly meetings, the club participated in activities both entertaining and educational.

From a small nucleus of eight carolers of the previous year, the number of singers increased more than three fold. Under the able leadership of Mr. E. W. Rowley, the organization became an ever: increasing source of musical expression. With the spirit of cooperation foremost in their minds, the club members joined heartily in the programs of three joint Orchestra-Glee Club Concerts in the Washington School. Besides these efforts to entertain the music-minded, the club joined with the Girls Glee Club in sponsoring the Musicians' Frolicf' a real merry-making event. By lending a hand in promoting school programs throughout the year, they encouraged the buds of future flowering musical organizations. From a membership of twenty-six, a popular quartette originatedg and later eight boys became a section in the a Cappella Choir. Lastly, many members contributed their vocal talent toward the Kiwanis Minstrel program. Though this year the organization is losing only live seniors by graduation, three of these are outstanding members, namely: Evert Werner, Paul Mernitz, and Clarence Prebstle. With the earnest endeavor that the group has already shown, the club should remain a permanent magnet in the school life of Bloom. 64 Top Row-Vera Carnegey, Avis Hansen, Clara Fanello, Vincentia Gereg, Mary Smith, Gladys Maros, Marjorie Adair, Adelheid Ebisch, Ruth Sherwood, Helen Smith, Celeste Burrell, Bonnie Mae Row, Anita Lewis, Miriam Luecke.

The club soon became one of Bloom's most popular organizations, furnishing enjoyment not only for its mem- bers but for the entire student body as well. New members are chosen after tryouts given at the beginning of the semester by the sponsor. At meetings held three times each week, the club prepares for concerts or other special appearances. At the two concerts which were given jointly with the Boys Glee Club and the Orchestra, Lorraine Carstens performed very successfully as soprano soloist. The girls, trio, Composed of Doris Jones, Vivian Doll, and Bonnie Mae Roe, made their initial appearance at the November concert. The Glee Club found its greatest pleasure, perhaps, in singing Christmas carols in the halls of Bloom and at the St. James hospital. 65 1 Top Row-Lenore Young, Olina C i, i ildred Meyer, Thelma Werner, George Flexman, Mr. Coe fsponsorj, Richard McClanahan, Cel s ell, Ardith Bakken, Marjorie Hennegan, Violet Bruno, Velda Bishop. fx- J Third Row-Peggy Farrar, Wilmal ykstal Helen Smith, Helen Lanham, Bonnie Mae Roe, Evert Werner, Arnold Kluender, George Mer r, 'Alice Goodier, Charlotte Frenck, Norman Rah.

Clze jfoom mica e After music was dropped from the list of extra-curricular activities for a year, the Bloom Musicale became fully reorganized during the next term when a group of Bloomis most prominent and interested musicians, with the aid of Mr. Coe, secured permission from the Student Affairs Board to become an active body. The club offers an opportunity for the more advanced of Bloom's musicians to develop their individual talents and enables them to appear before an audience of Active and Associate members. The Active membership demands that these soloists appear on a program at least once during the semester. The Associate membership includes a group of students, who though interested in music, cannot or do not care to perform them- selves, but meet to enjoy the work of the Active members. The officers who presided over the meetings, held every week, were elected during the first semester and reelected the second. Mary Smith served as president, Emily Ohlendorf as vice president, Lillian Collins as secretary, and Paul Mernitz as treasurer. At each meeting the president appointed a program chairman, who, in turn, chose a critic from among the Associate group. Mr. Coe acted as sponsor until the middle of the second semester, when Miss Parrish consented to act as a co-sponsor. 66 Top Roruf-Alberta Walker, Clarice Combs, Virgil Johnson, George Merker, Mike Harbushka, Edward Rossell, Homer Robertson, Joe April, Ruth Evans.

Since the commercial art classes had been withdrawn from the program, it was necessary for those particularly interested to find an outlet of some sort until art is restored as a routine subject. A group of ambitious students obtained a petition and organized the Pen and Palette club. They drew up a constitution, set their goal, and announced the purpose of the club. To serve the various organizations in school has been the main project of this club. As a result almost every school activity has heralded its movements with poster an- nouncements. The members also entered into competition for the Bloom Annual comic strip advertising. Because of the large number interested in art, it was found necessary to divide the club into two divisions, both functioning under the same sponsor, though not under the same officers. The most capable members, mainly upper classmen, were organized to do the delicate work which requires particular skill. The others have worked on posters, displaying their talents in perspective drawing and lettering. ' The Pen and Palette Club played host at one of the most colorful social hours of the year. Funds from the event Went toward defraying club expenses for the year. Every member whose paint brush or drawing pencil has earned enough points proudly wears a tiny silver palette, signifying achievement in art.

Bi- monthly meetings during the advisory period in the morning, and evening meetings the alternate weeks were held by the club. At the latter, basketball, baseball, boxing, wres- tling, and the like, followed by refreshments, furnished the evening's entertainment. This organization has done much to spread the name of Bloom by results at state agricultural activities. At a district fair held in Momence during November, our boys pocketed over one hundred dollars in prizes. For the second year in succession Bloom's farmers have captured first place in the F.F.A. District Oratorieal Contest through the efforts of Leslie Porter. This year the annual pest-killer contest was again sponsored by the organization. Tomatoes and cabbage plants were raised in the conservatory to obtain funds for the club's coffers. The love of nature and the out-of-doors has led the club to attempt a new project: that of a Future Farmer Summer Camp. For three days the boys lived in tents and cooked their own meals over camp fires. This year the sponsor, Mr. E. W. Rowley, is losing the pioneers of the club whose efforts, however, will not be forgotten, for they have established Agriculture in a permanent place in school life. 68 T017 Row-Dan McGee, Richard Bement, James Botkins, Lawrence Strong, Charles Rossell, Philip Pappal- ardo, John Armellino.

Giluduhon fab The small group of bird-loving biology students who organized the Audubon Club in 1929 under the leadership of joe Davis probably did not realize that five years later it would have a membership of seventy-five. The club was organized for the benefit of students who wished to make a special study of the haunts and habits of birds. During the five years of its existence, club members and friends have donated several mounted specimens. The large number of underclassmen in the club this year assures Bloom that the Audubon Club will be one of the school's largest organizations for some years to come. During the past year various projects have made headway: The Bloom Audubon Club became a member of the Illi-nois Junior Academy of Science. At Kankakee on March 21, the club was entertained by an evening program given by the Kankakee Edisonian Science Club. The sponsorship of a social hour in the cafeteria on March 23, proved suc- cessful. The Audubon Society sponsored a program which the General Science Club and the Future Farmer's organization attended on April 12. 69 Top Row-Arlene Gorzinski Cpresidentj, Nora Mae Schulz fvice-presidentb, Miss Garrison Qsponsorj, julia Piotrowski Csecretaryli Gertrude Scheiwe.

These are the aims the Home Ecu Club tries to achieve in some measure. The main purpose of the club is to help the girls to succeed in these ideals. Members try not only to help their companions, but also those who are less fortunate within the city. Since the club is affiliated with the American Home Economics Association, the members learn what other clubs throughout the country are doing, their plans for entertainment, and ideas for earning money. The club now numbers one hundred seventeen, having grown from a membership of about thirty-the school activity plan recently adopted being the reason for this rapid growth in membership, The following projects are to their credit: A series of candy sales was the first project undertaken by our club. The novel idea of making a quilt and raflling it off was next on the program of the enthusiastic members. The club sponsored the first all-school social hour in the new building. In April, the Home 'Ecu Club cofiperated with the Girls Club in giving a tea to the mothers of the girls and guests. On the occasion an exhibition of rare arts and crafts, both foreign and domestic, provided unusual entertainment. This is the first year that the girls have had an opportunity to obtain a Betty Lamp pin-the official pin for members who earn one hundred points.

I rclzes fra Resuming training after the lapse of a year's time, Bloom's Orchestra, with a mem- bership of approximately sixty, made excellent appearances this year. Seven of Bloom's talented musicians, Emily Ohlendorf, Roger Spencer, Alfio Micci, Evert Werner, Julius Wadolney, Vernon Ehlers, and George Merker, were sent to the All-State Orchestra at Urbana. Bloom was especially honored by having Alfio Micci, violinist, selected as Concert master. For the third consecutive year, Emily Ohlendorf won the position of first chair in the cello section, while Vernon Ehlers won second chair. Roger Spencer's Winning second chair in the viola section was especially out- standing because he had studied for only a short time. Emily Ohlendorf, Roger Spencer, Alfio Micci, Evert Werner, and Vernon Ehlers were also sent to the 'In-and-About Chicago, Orchestra which took the place of the National Orchestra this year. ' Affiliated also with the Orchestra is Bloom's String Quartet, consisting of Alfio Micci, Roger Spencer, Julius Wadolney, and Vernon Ehlers, the group which won second place in the national Contest. This season the Orchestra made several public appearances at school affairs: Fall, winter, and spring concerts. Three-One Act Plays. Dedication of New Building. Music Week. Assembly program. P.-T.A. Meetings. Teachers' Convention. 79 rqazzizafiom of file jfew .pea This year in keeping with the spirit of the new deal, positions have been created at Bloom to give students an opportunity for developing leadership. Principal R. C. Puckett strongly endorses student participation and student responsibility. The best way of creating more offices is through new mediums of work-club organizations. The newly inaugurated clubs which have resulted from this movement typify the range of student interest.

Coaches C. M. Sarff and H. W. McCann were faced with the distressing task of moulding a team which would uphold Bloom's football name against opposing teams. With only four returning regulars. In the short amount of time, the coaches developed a team that made possible a tie in the opening game with the heavier and more developed Fenger eleven. The line as a whole, was one of the fastest and strongest V seen at Bloom for many a season. The men showing the greatest ability were regulars of the previous season, Cap- tain Joe Vavrus, tackleg Charles Vrba, tackle, Robert Johnson, endg and Stanley Tkaczyk, guard. Time and time again, these players proved their worth by shattering the oppositionis interference, and making holes that resulted into sizeable gains for their own backfield.

Spak. avyweiqlzf askeffaff A team with possibilities, a team that could rise to new heights if its hidden power had been developed-such was Coach Sarff's 1934 edition of Bloom's heavyweight basketball squad. And a scrappy squad of hustling boys it was that fought to the last inch, never conceding their opponent any advantage, playing a brand of basketball that developed new fans and kept the interest of the old although not always being on the long end of thescorrat thefmal gun. f K W V ' ' In fact, the '34 Bloom quintet won only five games while losing fifteen, but Bloom's legion of followers, strangely enough, will longest remember some of the games that were entered on the wrong side of the ledger although victory was their goal. Who is it that soon will forget that hectic Bloom-Kankakee struggle in the old Bloom gym? Probably Bloomis greatest exhibition from a fan's view point was the hectic Thornton struggle, their fourth meeting of the year, in the semi-finals of the district tourney. The tournament which attracted large crowds at each session, was held in the new Bloom gym which was opened for play at midyear. The Sarffme-n played inspired ball to hold a 16-13 margin at halftime, 'although Thornton won on a second-half rally 31-19. Probably the best ball-handler on the team was Barnes, a freshman who promises to develop into a star before he leaves Bloom. Malizia will also be back next year to sink more of his long shots from his favorite spots on the floor. With. the return of Ed Spak, Pezzoli, and Dombrowski, Coach Sarff should have sufficient material to form the nucleus of a fairly successful squad. Dino Pignotti was the outstanding Bloom performer although he left the team in mid-year. Captain of the heavyweight squad, he averaged over ten points a game besides playing heads-up defensive ball. Other competent performers who completed their career in mid-year were Wickwire, Simonetti, Gazze, and Wright. Cordes and Crawford finished their eight semesters with the end of the season. 82 Sirmding-R. Yates, J. A. Costello, R. Slugg, N. Cusick, R. Alexander, W. Mathews, T. Ficetoli, D. McGee, D. Schnable.

Brqhfwazqllf jaskeffaff Favored with the return of a letterman team, Coach McCann started a record season which proved to the faithful supporters one of the many satisfactory games. The season ended with the team winning six and losing four league games. The ponies started out with their usual pep and speed to defeat Momence 34 to 11. At the first game, the boys showed strong team work and a sharp eye for the hoop. After moving into the new gym they had the misfortune of losing their first game to Blue Island. However, as they became accustomed to the new floor, they tightened up in their play. Although handicapped in two games by the illness of McKay, Amos, and Zanco, the Lights pulled through to defeat Thornton and Kankakee. The old brigadev was broken up in February by the eighth semester ruling which put McKay, a strong man of all-round ability, and Zanco, a runner-up for center, out of the squad. To fill these places, Coach McCann used Rucci, who had already been a steady forward, and V. Grote, a capable forward. Several concluded their basketball careers with the close of the season. These included Louis Posluszny, captain and voted most valuable man on the team, Alex Zydlewski, left guard, and Jimmie Wilkening, a high score man on any team. Next season Coach McCann will have two excellent lettermen back, Amos and Rucci, and a crew of good material to build up. 83 J Standing-W. Olson, A. Shambo, R. Ruhe, J. Potochny, T.

With the task of building a suitable ball team from a nucleus of four termen, con- sisting of two outfielders, a shortstop, and a pitcher, coach McCann successfully devel- oped a strong nine. As the season advanced the -squad displayed more will power-the caliber of a champion outfit. The returning lettermen were, in the outfield, Rollin Downey, and Gene De Luca, at shortstop, Louis Posluszny and August Husarik, pitchers. The positions open to the squad were first, second, and third bases, and the catching position. Lewis Bruni captured second base very easily, while first base was held by a former recruit member, Robert Yates. Louis Bekeza took over the third base duties and proved to be a Valuable player. Aaron Ascher also showed some action at this position. Theodore Gromola took care of right field while Arthur Shambo played in left. August Husarik and Charles Dom- browski did the pitching duties, with Robert Ruhe taking the roll as relief pitcher. four games and lost four. East Chicago ..,......

Also, for the first time, the home room teams of the coaches, McCann and Sarff, were pitted against each other. McCann's men emerged victorious with a 14-12 score. All of the twenty-nine teams engaged i-n the tournament showed basketball ability. It may be attributed to the fact that the McCann cagers, meeting stiff competition in their preliminary games, gained an edge over the Sarffmen, who had a comparatively easy schedule through to the finals. With a swift, loose attack built around them, Marshall Barrett and Sam Billups performed brilliantly for the champions. Lawrence Aprati and Felix Bo-hen carried the bulk of the attack for the vanquishedg Sarff's team was considerably weakened when Bohen was forced from the game. Recognition is due R. F. Briggs, faculty supervisor of the tourney, for his fine work in arranging the schedules and supervising other important details. Thanks and credit are also due Dino Pignotti and Johnny Malizia, chief referees and officials of the cham- pionship contest. 86 lT0p Row-Clark Earhardt, Paul Hesemann, Richard Costabile, Edmund Wein, Harold Overman, Bill Fitz- Henry, Leandro Tomaso.

Crack The debut of Intra-mural track in Bloom's calendar of spring sports was enthusiast- ically acclaimed by faculty and students alike. The enterprise, which showed promise of becoming an annual event, was sponsored by the City of Bloom and managed by a Committee under Robert G. Johnson. The large number of contesta-nts from the twenty nine boys, advisory groups neces- sitated several elimination meets which extended over a period of six days. To instill interest in these preliminaries, ribbons were awarded to all winners of Hrst three places. The winning class in the final meet was awarded a shield. Mr. Ignelzi's advisory group led the soph-freshman class to its victory over the juniors and seniors respectively. The junior class was strongly represented by Mr. Coburn's team, while Mr. Briggs, cindermen held top honors in the senior division. Individual scoring honors were captured by Frank Zajicek, Tito Tarquinio, and Clyde Pitts of the soph-freshman, junior, and senior teams respectively. Lettermen were ineligible for competition, thus affording a better chance for those students who have never made Blo0m's major athletic teams. 37 T017 Row-Claude Goss, Thomas Sheehan, Joseph Frank, Louis Dantico, Alfred Amos, Norman Hank, Stanley Tkaczyk, joe Vavrus, Charles Gazze, Harold Martin.

The purpose of the organization, which is under the sponsorship of Coach Sarff, is to bring athletes of the various sports into closer contact with each other. Furthermore, the Bn Club's aim is to uphold the best standards of sportsmanship and to keep this as their goal in intra-mural as well as interscholastic competition. The organization is a new one, and therefore has not accomplished a great deal as yet. However under the direction of Mr. Nelson they managed the entire District Basketball Tournament which was a great success, and this was through the efforts and coopera- tion of every one of the B athletes. The B Club also sponsored a 'QVarsity Ball which proved to be one of the out- standing social functions of the year. 11 S8 emzis The New Deal had its effects on Bloom's tennis activities, for this spring a tennis club was organized under the direction of Mr. Cassady. The purpose of the club is to study the rules and technique of the game. The officers selected by the members were Melvin Herman, as president, and Arthur Gordon as secretary. The greatest handicap encountered by the boys was the lack of desirable courts. The courts at Old Bloom could not be whipped into shape until late in the spring season, so Bloom was forced to book most of her matches at other Suburban League schools. Bloom's one home match was played on the courts of Lincolnshire Country Club. After the courts at Old Bloom had been conditioned, the tennis club sponsored a tournament open to all boys in school. The winner in the tourney will be awarded a bronze plaque, donated by the Scholastic magazine. The tournament has progressed well into the second round, with Herman, Maxwell, Fischer, Walter, Lupien, and Hixon still remaining in competition from a field of twenty-nine. The boys who represented Bloom in the inter-school matches were Frank Walter, Harry Maxwell, Harold Fischer, Melvin Herman, Arthur Gordon, and Cowdry Miller. Herman and Gordon comprised the team for doubles. Walter, Maxwell, and Fischer are experienced players who will be lost to the team by graduation, but the others will return to form the backbone of next year's team. Qolf Despite the loss of four regulars, Coach Sarff's proteges attained an unexpected stan- dard in their quest of a fourth consecutive South Suburban golf championship. In the first match with Blue Island, Tommy Sheehan, winner of the 1934 State High School Golf Championship, tied his opponent for first place while the remaining mem- bers of the team, Ralph Verrecchia, George Schmidt, Tito Tarquinio, Louis Posluszny and George Hecht obtained sufficient tallies for a twelve to nine victory over the Islanders. A date for the desired return match has yet to be set and on June 4, the team invades the Calumet Country Club in defense of their coveted championship. 89 X3 v SPORT SHOTS Funny faces.

Dim dreams, long cherished by the G.A.A., grew brighter as we saw the structure of New Bloom rising, now they are realized. The girls no longer need share the Boys, Gym, for they have a commodious one of their very own. This year the G.A.A. celebrates its tenth birthday, and during these years it has sponsored a great number of activities for the girls of Bloom. Among those of 1933-'34, were the Freshmen Party, with entertainment exclusively for freshmeng Play Day at which the girls displayed prowess in archery, volleyball, kittenball, and trackg the Posture Walk where they exhibited correct posture and graceful carriage. Newly planned is the Referees' Association designed to recognize those who give such splendid service in refereeing all games. As a reward for continuous participation in sports, the G.A.A. 'awards a B.T.H.S. to the girls who earn 750 points and a medal to those who are active enough to earn 1,000 points. The G.A.A. activities are directed by the athletic coach, Miss Leila Veazey and four officers elected each year by members of the organization. The major activities of the G.A.A. include: Assembly programs. Basketball tournaments-home room and inter-class tourneys. Establishment of Archery Club. Volleyball tournament-physical education and inter-class tourney. In all of these may we ever remember: We should play to liveg not live to play. 91 V0 LLEY BAL Tap Row-Junior A, Freshman B Third Row-Senior Second Row-Freshman A, Sophomore A Fifi!!

In this manner approximately one hundred five volleyball enthusiasts are given an opportunity to exercise their skill. Two eliminatio'n tournaments are held in which rival teams of each group are pitted against each other for the championship. On the side lines, girls find almost as much fun in cheering their favorite team to victory as 'in playing. This last season's rivalry was intense, but the senior Hrst team and the junior B second team, after hard struggles, were able to prove their superior skill. girsf Ceam Ceann Sfandinqs Second farm Won Lost Won Lost Senior ....... . . . 3 0 Senior ,,.... . . 2 1 Junior B ...... . . . 2 1 Junior B' ...... . . . 3 0 Sophomore A .,.. . . . 1 1 Sophomore A , . . . . 1 1 Sophomore B .... . . . 0 1 Junior A ...,, . . 0 1 Junior A ..... . . , 0 1 Sophomore B . . . . . 0 1 Freshman B . . . . . . 0 1 Freshman B . . . . 0 1 Freshman A , . . . . . 0 1 Freshman A , . . . 0 1 askefbaff Close on the dying echoes of the last volleyball games came the opening of the bas- ketball season. In preparation for the tournaments in New Bloom, the girls diligently practiced for ive weeks at the old school. An intra-mural tournament, a newly inaugurated feature, offered many exciting moments for girls interested in basketball activity. In this tournament, which pre- ceded the class tourney, twenty-two advisory groups participated. Cheers and yells were heard as teams were eliminated in the race for the championship. Miss Ash's senior advisory group proved themselves Victors over all, and succeeded in capturing the championship, thereby winning the shield which was awarded by the City of Bloom. Excitement reigned as teams were eliminated one by one in the class tournament. In the final struggle of the season between the senior A's and the junior B's, the latter proved their strength by crushing the seniors at one of the most exciting games of the season. The crowning event of the basketball season was the annual banquet. Here friendly enemies,pforgetful of past rivalries, joined in an evening of good fellowship. gint Calm Keam Sfandinqs Second Zeam Won Lost Won Lost JuniorB... ...3 0 SeniorB..,. ..3 0 Senior A . . . . . 2 1 Junior A . . . , . 1 1 Sen'iorB.., ..,1 1 JuniorB..... ..2 1 Junior A .... , . . 1 1 Sophomore A . . . . . 1 1 Sophomore B . . . . . 0 1 Sophomore B . . . . . 0 1 Freshman A ...., , . . 0 1 Freshman B . , . . 0 1 Sophomore A .... . . . 0 1 Freshman A . . . . 0 1 Freshman B . . . . . . 0 1 94 anmkg Autumn, winter, spring-any season is the time to be gay for the dancing girls of Bloom.

G?l'ClLZI y The skill of ancient Parthian archers 'is coveted by girls of Bloom, for under the tutelage of Miss Veazey and Miss Beall they may now become expert bowmen. This year the would-be archers' added interest in this ancient sport has resulted in the formation of an Archery Club as a regular part of the girls, athletic program. In this club, the girls are taught correct posture, the control of nerves, and the essentials of good aim,-qualities necessary for training in this popular sport. A bit of philosophy worth remembering: Nor will the arrow always strike where it is aimedf, ennb , In the spring the outdoor girls' fancy lightly turns to thoughts of tennis, which, for years, has been an outstanding sport at Bloom. This year, however, because the new school has no courts, they who would play tennis must patronize those at Old Bloom in order to exhibit their talent in the game. Each year the G.A.A. sponsors a tournament which any tennis enthusiast may enter. To each class winner of this tourney is awarded a bronze medal. Last year the senior champ was Gladys Hocking, Junior B, Bette Hill, Junior A, Amelia Spina, Sophomore, Mary Lou Freeman, and Freshman, Olga Corradi. W g Fffini da dsss r ff.7Qff1:'lfff.3::::.

A regal sightg the bed of down. A final shriek, a blast-the storm is slowing, Then dying, dying, as if knowing In the village and the town People did not like the blowing, Did not like the blizzard blowing, blowing, And the snowflakes hustling down. -Miriam Luecke Qfylzaf Gam 36 .Tone Gfdouf War? Occasionally it is wise to arrest the progress of progress and to redirect our purposes according to the situation. There is no doubt that there has been much progress in the matter of dispelling the layman's war-superstition, and that the hold of Mars is per- ceptibly weakened. It is from the interested layman's point of view, that I attempt this discussion. Do we want war? The answer is obvious, emphatic: Noi Then why do we go to war? We don't want to Hght. We are satished with our jobs, our families, and play in the evenings. In our right minds would we give it all for a filthy trench and the zero hour in the clammy blackness? War is a form of insanity, with big talk about the flag, the honor of the nation, the atrocities of the enemy, in reality, it is debts to be collected, investments to be secured, colonies to be captured. Who, then, are the kindlers of the fire which requires blood to quench? Let us seek out such mortal enemies and destroy them. Someone profits in war. The billion dollar debt must have some creditor. Who would be eliminated if we took the profit out of war? These Public Enemies are the powers which profit on gigantic conflict. They know where to apply the pressure, and their organization is something we must control. In his Open Conspiracy Mr. H. G. Wells says that the world is in the wrong hands, that we must beat them at their own game. Right-minded people-those who believe in brotherhood and peace and beauty-must form an Open Conspiracy to gain this power, and now, in time of peace, set themselves positively against militarism, by an open and explicit refusal to serve in any war. Too often, the questionable and radical forces have found it a strong weapon. Is it then unclean, that we should despise such an elfective method? When the Apostles went out to preach, they had a less convincing case to put before the people than have we. Arrested, they preached to the guards and converted them. An outgrowth more concrete would follow. For the sake of principle, men have gone on record as conscientious objectors to war. Education has ever been the enemy of super- stition, and sufficient education on the real status of war would dispel its glory. But if we refused to bear arms, what would become of democracy and our homes. The only possible answer is that the Open Conspiracy must be universal. It is not an impossibility. Are not the common people the same throughout the world? If they united, princes, presidents, and emperors would then fight for their territories with their own hands, not by proxy. Propaganda will reach every nation, given the means of spreading it. The League of Nations in its present form is a failure, because it was founded on sub- jection a-nd force, and nurtured in suspicion and greed. The economic boycott, however, seems to be the quickest and most painless weapon. There is no country in the world that could go without being permanently crippled. A massing of forces to picket the culprit country could easily blockade any attempts 'at trade with non-compliant nations. A small force of armed men, large enough to protect the frontiers of a nation but not large enough for aggression, would prevent any attempts of actual invasion, while the customs houses would do the rest. Although it may be necessary at this time to employ a show of force to secure a greater peace, before long it may be unnecessary. Education in our schools, propaganda, and the economic boycott as a check for the pla-ns of the warlords of the world may accomplish in time what force-display has failed to do. Just as French boys and girls are taught to hate their German neighbors, may they soon be taught to hate conflict with them even more, and in later life they may discover that they are not such bad fellows after all. The millenium, ma'n's ultimate achievement, is on its way, and may we yet see the day when They shall beat their swords into plough-shares, and their spears into prun- ing-hooksf' -Paul Mernitz. an IOO 012 jeilzq file H ca yn of Ifhd gizmify Why could there not have been one more? To think I had to be the one to bear it all! Surely, I would not be so cruel as to make it so hard for a younger member of the family. But one must experience to understand the inconvenience of being the youngest fdon't ever say baby j. Each member of the family is in the conspiracy-even Mother. Oldest sister's dress has become a little too old-fashioned, yet it would be so wasteful to destroy it completely! Perhaps we could make it over-. It is made over, resembling all dresses and coats of a second-hand wardrobe. It becomes a trifle humil- iating to have friends strive aloud to remember where they have seen that dress before! Speaking of humiliation-there is nothing so disheartening as having Mother intro- duce you to one upon whom you very much desire to make a special impression, saying nonchalantly, This is my baby!,' At such times you wish you were a baby so that you could feel casual about taking refuge in her skirts-or running off bashiym Two older sisters, each with two offspring, are incessantly looking for someone to stay with the little roughnecks, while they take the evening offf' Of course, the lot falls to the youngest, because she's so used to being around them and knows all their little ways, and really should feel flattered to be the one entrusted to care for the Precious Tykes. Being younger than a brother has its serious drawbacks. I-Iave you ever had one in a roguish mood dig and delve in those ticklish ribs until you were literally weak from wrath in spontaneous laughter? It's loads of fun! Older brothers are addicted to authoritative moods. Don,t you go to the show with that sap again! I-Ie couldn't toss a ball in a basket eight feet acrossf' or I wonit have any sister of mine putting that stuff on her face, are common remarks. Dad is the only one who seems to realize, yet even he has a tendency at times to be like an older brother. But he is the one upon whom one can depend to furnish an under- standing shoulder, even in disapproval. Sometimes he too joins in the constant, Sis, my razor blades are all gone, and Dad kicks if I use his. Run down to the corner, will you? or You had better run along, young'n, you're not old enough to listen, or You're younger, dear, run upstairs and borrow a cup of sugar, will you? It's Get your old dad his pipe, will you, Babe? Yesl, ubaby' will, that's what she's for. -Bernice Olson. 5 i Will! IW! V M 101 .45 6L Oq . When a dog, a small black and white fox-terrier, to be specific, has every opportunity and no restrictions in his private life, why must he be so unruly? Take a typical winter dog-day. Having gone to rest early, the previous afternoon to be exact, he awakes at five-thirty on a cold, spicy morning and jolts the entire house in his new found joy of being alive. Left outside to calm his exuberance, he nearly freezes at the first blast of icy air and immediately scratches at the door for entrance, leaping up and down until admitted. Then for a time-until his meal is prepared-his activity is over. His entire organic structure is suitable for eating vast amounts of food, and since he takes little exercise, such stuffing results in an unhealthy obesity. He now heads for the nearest source of warmth, absorbs all possible heat, becomes drowsy, and is off again to the land of dreams. He really has nightmares-for mild attacks of convulsions, caused either by said nightmares or aforementioned stoking in of food-seize him, and the poor beast trembles and shivers with accompanying whim- pers for minutes at a time. His next re-awakening is at the following meal, unless some stranger taps at the door, upon which occasion he becomes a demon aroused. He treats the visitor as an entirely unwelcome guest and does his part in entertainment by barking viciously. His teeth are sharp, although in the past he has never sunk them into human flesh, at the crucial moment either his aim is poor or perhaps he suffers a change of heart. Even when tem- porarily calmed, he eyes the intruder from a vantage point to the right of his mistress, and woe be unto anyone who lays hand on her. After such a performance he considers another little nap entirely fitting and proper. Such may be his conduct during the remainder of the day. If nothing out of the ordinary occurs, he sleeps. If it were possible to Cat in his sleep, such would be Utopia. In payment for such an easy life, he should be slightly considerate of other people's feelings-and clothes. At every possible chance he chooses a nice over-stuffed chair as a particularly good place to ease his weary bones, and unwittingly sheds hundreds of hairs which remain to cling to the next occupant. Speedy eviction from such. premises leaves the dog absolutely forgetful of any punishment, he returns immediately when the next opportunity arises. When asked to sit up prettily, he immediately develops a rubber spine and sits with an ungodly slouch plus a wistful expression on his canine Visage. He is very adept at running stray chickens to earth. He takes peculiar delight in biting masses of feathers from the victim so that he may spit them in his captive's face. He really is very handy at this job. His one redeemi-ng feature is his great love for his fellow inmates. When one returns after an absence of several hours or more, how one is gladdened by the hearty reception of face licking, and the female sex by torn hosiery from his eager paws. However, I believe such a dog is an invaluable asset to any home. He is always a topic of conversation-either good or bad. He really is a likeable little pal when one comes home after a tiresome day, for then he shows at least that somebody welcomes you, even when school work is boring. ' -Frank Hunte.

Out of the sands on the sunny beach He was building a castle so high. The little girl in the gingham dress - Stood watching wistfully by. Soon the castle of many towers Was built on the sands by the sea, And a small garden with flowers gay Was blooming quite radiantly. As they played near the castle of dreams As happy as they could be, A monstrous wave came stealing in And washed it into the sea. The little girl in the gingham gown Grew sad and started to cry. The little boy in the sailor suit Didn't as much as sigh. You mustn,t cry 'bout a house of sand, He softly said-and quick- Someday we,ll build another one- Alvinu Eblen Maybe one of brick. -Helen Conway IO fha jlfear 'amz OCTOBER, 193 3 Oct. 3-1509-not 1492-Bloomites re- ported for hard labor in the new term.

Dear Sue Lonely: It was with a great deal of pleasure that I read your letter, etc., etc., and furthermore if I knew the answer to your question, I wouldnit be writing this column. Aunt Abagail. My dear Aunt Abagail: My problem, I am sure, will give you a great deal of trouble. I have a dress which has seen better days, but I hate to give it up because it is of such a distinctive purple. How would you advise me to fix it over? Ima Sower. My dear Ima Sower: I have given your problem very careful consideration and I have come to a conclusion. Some day when you are in a very bad humor, take this dress and deliberately hack it up into strips of any width. Then invest about 55.98 in a new dress. You can take this advice or leave it. Deer Ant Abagail: I am going to bee married next month. i want too no weather too hav hand riten invitations ore printted ones. I. Wright. p. s.--i am inn favor of the hand riten ones. My dear I.

But what I really wanted to ask you was, DID YOU EVER SEE A DREAM WALKING, and WHERE'S ELMER? You don't know? Well, I guess it's GOODBYE AGAIN. YOU'RE GONNA LOSE YOUR GAL to PUDDIN' HEAD JONES who is SO SHY. He was TEMPTA- TION! AFTER SUNDOWN, we are GOING TO HOLLYWOOD. Once, when THE OLD SPINNING WHEEL was on the BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS, WE WERE THE BEST OF FRIENDS. DON'T BE A CRY BABY, and remember that THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW. ANOTHER PERFECT DAY HAS PASSED AWAY! QWHY DO I DREAM THOSE DREAMS?j H. J. PETERSON FLORIST Flowers Telegraphed Anywhere Member F. T. D.
