YENTZER l N W I DANA ELLIOTT EMMETT RICHARDS BOARD OF EDUCATION The Bloom Board of Education represents a body of men who with Mr. Puckett aim to carry on the machinery of the High School, aiding in keeping up the standard of the past two years of new Bloom, and meeting with success the financial situation that has faced them during this period. ' With the election in April, two new members replaced vacancies. Mr. Emmett Richards ills the place made by the resignation of Mr. Whitield, who for many years acted as board secretary, and Mr. Dana Elliott was elected to complete the unexpired term of Mr. Woodward. At the organization of the new board, Mr. Adair assumed the secretaryship and Mr. Yentzer became president for the ensuing year. Twrlue K PRINCIPAL ROSWELL C. PUCKETT B.E., M.A., Ph.D. Here in Bloom we are fortunate to have as our leader one who believes and practices democratic principles. Here both Faculty and Students share in the responsibilitity of planning the policies and programs as well as that of carrying out the program of school life. This common bond of responsibility, this true American spirit of democracy we owe to our leader, Mr. Puckett. Thirteen Fourleen GLENN L. ANDERBERG Shurtleff College, B.S.

However, -no class has left such an honorable and enviable record of achievements as the Class of '36. Likened to the Olympic games, our commencement was ap- propriately planned to our four years of life at Bloom. As sophomores we became more acutely prominent as we were the first to enter upon class activities with ofiicers, a privilege that had never been accorded to any lower class. As juniors we contributed generously to activities of the school, eager ,to carry out the ideals which we set up as sophomores. The strong class spirit that developed from the unity of sopho- more organization may be expressed in the theme words- eagerness, swift-ness and energy. As seniors we were early awarded responsible positions in the prominent Bloom organizations, National Honor Society, City of Bloom, Student Affairs Board, Girls' League, Broad- caster, Bloom Annual, athletics, music, and dramatics, and in each proved to be equal to the faith placed in us. Three members have been elected to state oflices in their respective fields, namely: City of Bloom, Girls' League, and Future Farmers. 5 A summary of our achievements 'during the course of our four years' reign shows the many fields- in which we participated. In many of these fields we established a new record-especially in entertainment. A magician show, a prom, a dinner dance, and a class play brought us many congratulations and honor for tasks well done. In our voca- tional and leisure fields, musicians, artists, and farmers brought us national recognition through .victories in such contests. Our greatest achievements were only installments to the victory laurels that commencement day offered, a-nd every member of the '36 Olympiad has been proved a champion in education. To many of us the four long years of prepa- ration have ended only too soon, and the joys of our high school days will have to become imbedded in our memories as we take the bigger step in life. However, we who become alumni, will keep in our hearts the name of Bloom and vow to further her i-nterests in accordance with our pledge as students. Farewell!

L- s .. k,-r ffl' j if 'Il L L! lv J., O Seniors: The Annual, Commencement, and The End of High School. What memories these words bring to anyone wholhas successfully completed this part of his education! I trust that for the members of the graduating class of 1936 they may bring recollections of worth while ho-urs spent in the classroom, laboratory, library, shop, and gymnasium, of happy participation in the many activities of the school, and of genuine friendships which will carry on into later life. I hope Bloom has given you something which will be of real help to you in meeting the many problems of the future, and I also hope that you can feel you have made a worth while contribu- tion to Bloom. The entire faculty wishes you 'the best of good luck in the days ahead.

Do noble things, all day long, And so make life one grand, sweet song. THE CLASS WILL E, THE members of the class of 1936, assured of a sound mind and only slight lapses of memory and because we are about to sail away from this isle of learn- ing, do hereby make, ordain, and publish this our last will and testament: To the juniors, we leave our unchallengable knowledge, our cloak of dignity, the vacated offices that call for special talent such as we have had, and our challenge to evolve from the chrysalis such marvels of beauty and chivalry, of which we are noble examples. - For the Sophomores, We shed our skin of nonchalanceg we grant them the opportunity to try to produce a more successful prom, and the inspiring example to do bigger and better things. To thc Freshmen who we feel have due need of it, we leave time in which to famil- iarize themselves with the bewildering maze of halls, and time to make a complete inves- rigation of our drags, To our beloved Teachers, we leave almost invisible signs of our sincere gratification for their patience-even forgiving them for the sleepless hours spent in laborious work to prove our k-nowledge. To the Office Force, we leave a case of almost chronic writer's cramp from filling out pink slips and other questionable literature. When the old, worn bench becomes cold and palsied, we -ask that it be as successfully warmed as some of our compatriots have succeeded in doing so admirably. To Mr. Puckett we bequeath an unforgettable memory of a class unequaled in past years. We regard his silent meditation on quality with favorable eyes. - As for the Detention Room, we vacate the seats so faithfully and regularly occupied by particular men of our class to any deserving delinquent. To the Athletic Department, we yield the arduous task of refining from raw mate- rial the same fine brand that was developed by the class of '36, that held for us our most prized possession, the Warner Cup. QWe leave this, we trust, in safe, competent hands. , To the Band we bequeath a stack of new uniforms to compensate partially for the loss of our charming blonde directress and the highly successful young drum major. To the Orchestra we leave empty chairs once filled by 1936 contest winners, notably thc concertmeister of the State Orchestra for three consecutive years. To the Dramaftics Department, realizing the deficit in the treasury, we present new flats and a keg of nails. We take from your ranks four distinguished National Thespians with the hope that some others can fill their places. To the S. A. B. we leave all those countless problems that taxed the minds of the selected representatives of our class. To the City of Bloom, we leave seemingly irreparable losses-including a capable mayor and a beautiful recorder. XVe add only our best wishes for successful admin- istrations. To the Girls League we bequeath a newly-painted screen and a list of activities--cow ered by our faithful, untiring supporters. ' To the G. A. A. yve leave a hushed gym and the' necessary loss of her favored few who have been winners through four years of school life. To the future Bloom and Broadcaster Staffs we transfer an empty paste bottle, a depleted file, and the combination of Miss Way's locker. We leave the Library with samples of our literary attempts left on. almost! every torn, dog-eared or chewed page of our truly digested books. To the Cafeteria we generously give space for hungry freshmen, and challenge them to make it the home of more successful socials. To the Gymnasium we transfer the south side to such boosters as have in the past, enjoyed side line thrills. WE, THE CLASS, do hereby appoint Miss Young, our class sponsor, as executrix of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof we have unto set our hand and seal on the 19th day of May, 1936.

Johnson President Robert Daniels Vice-Prcsidrnl Mildred Meyer Secretary Lenore Young Treasurer 0 'T' I l JU ICR JUNIOR SPIRIT HE life of a junior centers about the school.Unlike the freshman, who gives most of his attention to his home, the sophomore, whose interests are divided, and the senior, who is looking forward to the future, the junior is vitally interested in his school lifeg for he has little time for outside pleasures. The social calendar of the junior is completely filled with social hours, basketball games, eve- ni-ng -parties, and programs which are all popular with members of this class. Their extra periods are filled with glee club, band, and orchestra practice. The juniors, are in things! The City of Bloom finds willing and competent workers in this class. The list of juniors on the honor rolls is a lengthy one. The class is well represented among those winning Chevrons. Juniors, boys and girls, in athletics are numerous and valuable assets to their teams. The junior class supports Bloom's athletics, social events, and scholar- ship. They are doing their part with a hearty school spirit in putting Bloom first and foremost, at the top of the list. X The Juniors always master their studies, And make of their teachers steadfast buddies. They know all the answers, both right and wrong, And are ready to jump at the sound of a gong. In all our works I'm sure we'll try, To add a little more, As juniors We've made honors high As others have before. Throughout our life, we'll do our best, A Success shall be our aim.

This is the day on which I simply cannot seem to keep my mind on schoolwork. We have discussion in homeroom on this day. I try to argue with the homeroom teacher about the matter being discussed, always taking a poi-nt of view opposite to the correct and logical one. Finally the bell rings, ending the homeroom period. I dreamily wander about to my other classes during the rest of the day, trying to figure out why Saturday and Sunday have passed so quickly. Tuesday 4 Club day. On this day I go to my club. Whenl am there I remember that I am to give a report on something that I have forgotten all about. While I desperately try my best to make up something to say at this last minute, all the other members begin to laugh. I finally take my seat, still trying to figure what was so funny. I didn't notice anything. lVedm2s11ny A This day I go to council meeting. Suddenly I drift off in some sort of daze while the meeting is proceeding, and it seems as if I can't get my mind back on the subject of council meetings. I find it more interesting to argue with myself whether the weather is all right for skating, or some other such thing. I am finally awakened by the bell, which tells me that the meeting is over. Then I quickly try to patch up what had happened during the meeting so that I can report in homeroom the next day. Thursday Blue Monday having gone, council meeting having been attended, and report of the council having been given, I decide that I really will do some studying this morning. I hardly get my book open when my neighbor beside me asks if I think the picture at the theatre today is a good one. I reply that I don't know, but tell my neighbor of last Sunday's picture which really was good. My neighbor, informing me that he hasn't seen it, asks me to describe it to him. I try my best not to Whisper too loudly and start telling about it with the aid of gestures and exclamationsg and we soon have a little circle of friends listening and talking. The bell ringsg and we, not having finished, post- pone our little discussion for the next week, when I again resolve to study but instead tell about some other exciting movie or story. Friday H Day on which I am happiest for several reasons. One is that I enjoy a program in the morning, instead of studying in homeroom. My joy is exceedingly great when I think of the social hour after school, and best of all, the next two days that I have to sleep away, dreaming of the most important event of the junior year, the Junior Prom. The ideals of the Junior are as follows: To be late at 'least once a semester, to act like a big brother to the Freshmen, to be on the Honor Roll at least once, to go to as many dances as possible, to get out of as much work as he can, and to get a letter for a sport. F ort y-nine 1'1 '6 fur' CUR WORKSHOP Despite the fact that we hear seniors and alumni talking about the advantages of old Bloom and how much more fun could be had there, we juniors agree that new Bloom is just as full of enjoyable advantages. To one approaching it, the building stands a stately structure with its attractive lines and artistically designed portals and towers. From the main entrance one can see a set of colorful murals depicting the importance of high school subjects in connection with fields of work important in the functions of the World. From here one may also see the uniquely designed doors of the library, a beau- tiful example of modernistic architecture. The corridors leading away from this, the center of the school, are lined with gray lockers as uniform and straight as soldiers at attention. The window seats and archways are the favorite trysting places where, after one's companions assemble, rushed conversations take place. These are brought to an end by the bell which rings loudly, echoing throughout the corridors and calling the students to work in our attractive new edifice. ALL SAILS SET ' We set sail a few years ago, and now, as we anchor our ship, we End that we are Juniors. Yes, we are truly upperclassmen. The voyage has been a long and hard one, but at last We find ourselves doi-ng Junior work. Before continuing on our course, We must prove that we are ideal upperclassmen. We, who are nearing the bend of success, must labor to round the curve. A slip of the wheel, and we shall find ourselves dropping back a few notches. A sturdy hand on the helm, and we shall glide safely into the harbor. We all must take our turns at the wheel and guide the Junior ship to success. After a year of hardship and happiness, we shall hoist anchor, set sail, and drift into our Senior year with hopes of Ending Treasure Island.

Lookit him strut like an old bluejay in front of the mirror! Hey, Thomas, are we dinin' with the Princess this evening? Blahlu Go away from my door, you-you infant! Mom, can't you do anything with her? If I was you, I'd be mortified at her. Tommy's face took on a tortured expression as he called on his mother to relieve him. At last he was satisfied with his reflection and raced down the stairs, bestowing a last grimace on the little figure standing in the hall. As he disappeared through the door, the little sister, Julie, wilted, and, running to her room, threw herself on the bed, sobbing, You'd think he'd take me to that movie, 'stead of some old girl that don't wanta see it anyhow! The next morning Tom's father raved about a dent in the fender, sputtering, I might have known better than to have let that boy drive the car! Look at that fender! julie, gulping, said, trying to sound casual, Oh, that? Well, Daddy, I tell you. A fresh kid made some remark about my freckles, so I threw my skates at him. I'm not a very good shot either. Looking at her brother, she felt well repaid for the past speech, although certain loud sou-nds were heard issuing from behind a closed door a few min- utes later. When Julie and her father reappeared, Tom said to her, How'd you like to take in a show, kid? Julie could scarcely breath an ecstatic, Uh-huh! That evening anyone in the small theatre might have noticed a young man and a younger girl, the latter clothed in Sunday raiment, with a huge bow waving triumphantly about her curls. A very observant per- son might even hear her say, Oh, Tommy, I think you're magnificent! SPRING CLEANING Spring cleaning! Can anyone give a definition which really describes it? I think not. But spring cleaning to me is a period a week or two when the whole house and the whole family are topsy-tuvey. - This is about the time when Dad discovers he has a sore back, so be's out of the work. Then little brother, dear little brother, is too small, so he's out, too. Well, that leaves mother and the sophomore to do all the work. Mother never lets you know when she's going to start because she wants to find all the things she shouldn't. Little brother gets home first, and when he sees that Mom's house cleaning he fairly dives under the bed, digs around in the closet, looks under the mattress and everywhere, collecting all the things he'd hidden. Mom gets a little bitter because he's always under her feet so finally she sends him on his way. Then Pop comes home. He sits down, takes off his shoes, and puts on his comfortable house slippers. Now for the paper and the good old easy chair. But where is the easy chair? At this point it's time to look out 'cause things are going to commence. Pop snorts like a bull and bellows, Where's my easy chair? Mom, who is outside giving the rug a licking, doesn't hear him. After Pop shouts a few more times, the beating stops and in comes Mom. ' Where is my easy chair? says Pop. Well, dear, I thought that since that chair was getting to be so old and worn out I'd sell it to the junk man. You thought! You thought-you-you. What's the junk man's number? u2426.,' Father goes to the phone and discovers it is buried behind a piano. He throws up his hands and goes in search ofthe evening paper. The pup has carried the paper fthe way Pop himself had trained himj to the sun-parlor. Pop shouts louder than ever now. But the little doggie puts in his appearance at the right time with the paper. Fifty-four Then the sophomore comes home, and he tip-toes into the bedroom in order to escape the work. But as he goes in the door a voice is heard, Where are you going, young man? 'Tm going to be pitcher at today's ball game, Mom. - You're going to play ball all right- A Gee, Mom, you're a peach. It's going to be an easy game, too. We ought to beat them. As I said before, you're going to 'play ball-with the rug! Oh, gee, Mom, and it,s a special game. V This is a special rug so you'd better do a good job. The beater is on the back porch. Bed time finally comes and everyone is dead tired-even Pop Qfrom reading the paperj. Pop prepares for bed and then things happen. There is a bang and crash! Why in the world don't you put things back when you finish with them? Don't you know by now that every time Ma cleans house we have to sleep on the floor and catch a cold? piped little brother. Now, why do people have to clean house? THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME ' fPrize-Winning Essay in the Gruen Watch Contestj f The continuity of life-the molding of human clay into its final symmetric form, is done by the hands of time. Those hands are long, supple, strong. They are marked by the service of centuries. Like the hands of a great surgeon they hold the power to give and to destroy. In them is the scalpel. With it they cut, slash, smooth, and shape. The perfect man, the perfect life is their ultimate goal. We, as individuals, have our successes, failures, hopes, and joys. Individually, they mean nothing. We are infinitesimal grains of sand on a vast desert. However, together we stand as Time's helpers-aiding him in all things. He is the surgeon, we are his assistants. We supply his instruments-he performs the operation. Just as the surgeon means the salvation of a patient, time is the sustenance of our existence. There is no place where time begins and ends. It goes on infinitely. But what is time to us? There is so little a-nd yet so much time for us to utilize. Can we achieve our bit in the final success by allowing time to pass unheeded? Must we finally realize that it is too late to begin to strive for that goal and we must leave our tasks to double the burden of our children? Thinking about these things we realize the importance of time present-not time past or time future. Again and again, unceasingly, those delicate fingers will reach for new instruments. We must be ready to supply them. HE'S IN LOVE When a boy starts washing behind his ears, fYou couldn't make him do it in a thousand years!j And starts to talk of the moon above- It can mean only one thing- He's in love. When he keeps on asking his mother for stamps, And by himself takes long, long tramps, And starts to write poems about the cooing dove- There is certainly no doubt- He's in love. When he draws strange pictures of old Dan Cupid I And runs around looking very stupid, Or treasures ribbons, or a mateless glove, It can mean only one thing- He's in love. Fifty-five Mr. Bell Sponsor ' Burton Ward Prcsidrnt Jack West Secretary Carl Verduin Vice-Presidenl Jacqueline Wilson Treasurer Fifty-six FRESHMAN REVIEW Attention all! Salute the largest class in Bloom, the Fresh- men. Six hundred and sixty-seven of these underclassmen are enrolled, making the future promising for their other three years. The Freshman mixer, an important event of the class, was very successful. The officers planned for one hundred and fifty dancers, and two hundred appeared. Besides contributing largely to the Honor Roll, the fresh- men haveentered the major activities of Bloom. The City of Bloom has received their services through their citizenship taxes, the Council, and the hall guard and traffic guard systems. The Girls League and the Girls Athletic Association have found representatives among the numerous home rooms. Athletics was a magnet that drew aspirants as sport stars. Football and baseball claimed a few of those that responded to the coaches' call. Track attracted freshmen interested in the pole vault, high jump, and dashes. Miss Veazey was pleased with the ma-ny girls who tried out for the large class teams and other sports. Their willingness to cooperate is shown in the large num- ber who joined clubs, namely: the Home Economics Club, Photography Club, Audubon Society, Chess and Checker Club, and Knitting Club. An energetic group of Latin stu- dents organized the club, Romani Hodierni. In their list of talents, music was not forgotten, for the musically minded ones joined the band, orchestra, glee clubs, and the newly organized Musicians Club. Publications, the Broadcaster and the Bloom Annual, found response among the lower classmen. Ten advisories were one hundred percent subscribers to the paper to which they contributed gossip for the freshman column. This all-round participation in school events gives the fresh- man a knowledge that he will remember throughout the rest of his high school days. ' iw- r gf. .5.gg.ia?15.r 'a 1 if ,.,-',,..- 1.

U RE YOU ready for the question? All those in favor of granting this petition say 'Aye'. These are familiar words to those who attend the second hour Tues- day meetings in the Tower Room. Then, if the board consents, :mother event is scheduled on Bloom's calendar. After all the petitions have been presented and voted upon in the order that they were given to Miss Theobald, chairman of the organization, committee reports are read. The committees are composed of one student and teacher from the board and other appointed students and teachers. In the cases of the Public Improvements, Program, and Social Committees, the members of the sub-committees are representatives of the City of Bloom. A traffic system has been inaugurated by the Public Improvements Committee this year which has almost completely ended congestion in the corridors and on the stair- ways. The board has established a new policy concerning money-making propositions. They have refused to grant petitions to organizations for making money unless the money will in some way benefit the school in general. In connection with this policy the Student Participation Committee have had their heads together all year advising a student activ- ity ticket for next year. This ticket pro- vides for a definite allotment of money to deserving groups and should entirely elim- inate other fund raising plans. These are only a few examples of the work of the committees of the board. It is autocracy to live by one man's will g so through the S. A. B. representing our principal we aim to train By reason and calm judgment, the qualities specially apper- taining to a leader. -TACITUS l Fifty-nine Sixiy Miss Smith Sponsor Thomas Stapleton Mayor Judy Lenkart Clerk George Agatucci Treasurer CITY OF BLOOM N September the City of Bloom, student government organization, embarked upon its 13th year of service to the school.During the ensuing school year it spon- sored numerous projects beneficial to the entire student body such as social hours, assemblies, pep meetings, intra- mural sports, and school welfare work. As a result of the recent original school song contest sponsored by the City of Bloom, the school has a new school song. Two departments, legislative and executive, compose the structure of the City of Bloom. The latter includes the mayor fThomas Stapletonj, who directs the ship of state, and his many officials who lend him able assistance, the clerk Uudy Lenkartj, who faithfully writes the minutes of the weekly council meetings and has charge of correspondence, and the treasurer QGeorge Agatuccij, who has charge of the City's receipts and disbursements. The student council, composed of elected representatives of various home room groups, has as a legislature passed necessary ordinances, approved appro- priations, and carried on efficiently the work of the City of Bloom. Special honor was accorded the City of Bloom when Helen Holbrook, program chairman, served as state secretary of the Illinois organization of Student Gov- ernment. The tax problem is faced each semester, but contrary to the situation in our Federal and state governments, the majority pay willingly and become citizens and pro- vide the funds upon which much of the activities of the school depend, sponsoring programs and social hours fsome freejg providing for public improvementsg donating to the Student Loan Fundg assisting other or- ganizations such as the athletic department, and prg- moti-ng welfare work, which includes Christmas baskets and aid to needy students. It was the work of the three executives, who for the first time were all elected from the same ticket, that made Bloom's student government such an out- standing organization as it proved to be. The work of the council, which is the legislative body of the organization, has been such that only an active student body such as Bloom maintains could have kept the pace. Some of the very excellent pro- grams and socials which the City of Bloom sponsored are still topics of conversation, and the school looks forward to next year's officials are under direction of the City of Bloom. In this manner Bloom hopes to back its pupils, the workings of the government, and to teach them to become honest, capable, and intelli- gent citizens. E STEP into a long, narrow room i not unlike several others in the building. Yet there is a difference, for while we linger, the mayor, with a few ' sharp raps of the gavel, commands order. That slender girl beside him reads the min- utesg and the treasurer, Bloomis forgotten man, reports the financial balance of this fair but small city. Meanwhile representa- tives from the respective home rooms, other- wise precincts, take notes on proceedings and afterward express their opinions and , present the problems of their groups. In the course of a school year, through this energetic body much is accomplished for the betterment of the school and the community. Sometimes it requires a prolonged argument or heated debate before a point is proved. From these illustrations one can readily see that the youthful Congressmen are being well-trained for a time not far distant when they shall participate in a mightier govern- ment and add their efforts for legislation and clean politics.

The first question is that of hall guards who have their stations in the halls during class periods. The hall guard system originated in 1924. Since that time it has been functioning effi- ciently under the able supervision of Mr. Dyer. The greatest change in it was accom- plished last year when the lieutenant system was installed. The lieucenants, or travelling guards, visit the many guard posts on the three floors, check on the guards, and, like numbering approximately one hundred and fifteen, have been under the direction of the two Chiefs of Police, Robert Ruhe ffirst semesterj and Anton Stanich Qsecond semesterj . The duties of the hall guards are important. They are to prevent pupils from wan- dering in the halls during class periods. It is also their duty to protect school property and to show special courtesy to all visitors who may enter our building. T011 Row-Betty Borgwardt. George Zilligen.

This new system was placed under the supervision of Mr. A. J. Berg and Arthur Gordon, Traiiic Commissioner for the City of Bloom. They appointed thirty-two guards who proved to be very efficient. Leaving their classes two minutes before each period ended, they Went to their assigned posts to take charge of the traffic in the halls. Because these guards carried o, their carefully planned instructions with the utmost care, the congestion has been lessened, and order in the corridors has been very much improved. if Since many of the students insisted on violating the rules established, they were taken to Mr. Dyer's office. One might imag- aine a court scene taking place in that oihce because of the procedure which frequently resembled a miniature Judge Gutknechfs court. There are certain qualifications which 1 every guard must possess. He must have a C average, be a citizen of Bloom, and possess reliable character traits--dependa- bility, courtesy, and discretion.

N THE flickering twinkle of seven slim candles seven Bloom seniors, faces eager with a sense of intangible idealism, became fully initiated into the National Honor Society. The beautiful ceremony took place in the gym at a special honor assembly. Members, limited to 15 per cent of the senior class, may be elected at any of three elections held during the year. By careful discrimination the faculty committee chooses the students from among the number eligible. The ultimate decisions are based upon the society's prerequisites: character, scholarship, leadership, and service. A an point grade average is necessary to fulfill the scholastic requirement. By aspiring to these ideals, the Society recognizes and applauds character and serv- ice as well as providing Bloom with a practical reward for erudition. The delight each member derives from the golden torch pin which it is his select privilege to display is not an extravagant pride, for the entire student body backs it up with respectful admiration. Miss Mellinger, as sponsor of the club, has shaped the four requirements into glow- i-ng stars, where each member has truly attempted to hitch his humble wagong with her mature aid it. did not seem impossible. At the first of their meetings officers were elected as follows: Alfio Micci, presidentg Edwin Brinkman, vice-president, Gladys Gaines, secretary, and Donald McDonald U'C3Sl.11'CI'. By upholding the highest traditions of our school the National Honor Society is an ac- tive incentive in the life of the youngest freshman. It provides a concrete top for the L abstract ladder of well-rounded personality. Six! y- four HAT'S in a name? Bloom's Ro- ' mans of Today, members of the Ib Latin classes, have had interesting times discovering what might be expected of them if they lived up to their new appel- lations. Adopting for club use a name of Latin derivation, each member discovered unexpected meaning in a name. Did the new name always fit the individual? A particu- larly lively boy is Claude, the lameug Clar- ence, the bright one, trusts that his name will prove helpful when the next Latin verb proves troublesome, Amanda, worthy of love, hopes to capitalize on her name, while Beatrice, making happy, wonders what her role is. Great dismay came to all when it was learned that the president, Charles Di Peso, alias Calvin, faced a future baldness. In imagination the group has become acquainted with the experiences of Roman chil- dren, played their games, loved their pets, had a birthday party, shared the stern discip- line of a schoolroom, reached manhood and womanhoodg they have taken part in the curious ceremonies attending marriage, watched the exciting games in the Circus Maxi- mus, studied vocations and activities of the people whose influence was so great in days of long ago. Will our Romani I-Iodierni play as large a part on the world's stage? A playlet, A Dog Without Latin, showed how many names of things used every day come from Latin. Bob who vowed that he could get along a whole year and never touch a thing with a Latin name exclaims at the end of one day, I give up. I can't stand this any longer! I've had to go without everything I've wanted all day! No cap, no bike, not much to eat, and now no motor ride or radio! Not even a trip to the library! So you win, Dad! Top Row-Emmett Richards.

RCMANI HODIERNI ' Sixty-five HEN the bright-colored reds, blues, oranges, and greens captured Bloom that day in November, the Home Economics Club was rejoicing, for it was they who had revived Bow Day. The club has had a creditable year, furnishing the tops and magazines for the Christmas bas- kets, and cooperating with the Girls League in the all girls' programs April 24. In their bi-weekly meetings The Girl and Her Everyday Life, the theme for the activities of this year, has been studied f ' ' in six units: The Home, School, Sports, Civic Life, Social Life, and Leisure Time. Because the club is aililiated with the State Home Economics Association, it has re- ceived bulletins and suggestions for a variety of meetings. Ten girls accompanied by Miss Opfer attended the State Conference in Chicago during December. The membership of the club is limited to girls who have a B average in either of the economics courses, Foods or Clothing. In spite of this change in the qualifications, which occurred this year, the club is large, having iifty-seven members. The Betty Lamp pin, a national award, is given in recognition of high achievement in Home Economics to those girls who have received one hundred points. Class work and work on committees contribute towards earning this high award. Top Ro-so-Alice Ginkus. Estelle Bennett, Dorothy Heseinann. Dorothym Anderson.

Several of these persuaded Miss Hodgen to be sponsor of their group. Following the election of oflicers and learning to knit on, they mastered with no little difiiculty the actual fashioning of the article to be made. The article, a hot-pad, gave everyone a chance to learn simple knitting and purling, or the stockinette stitch. At the same time the girls had something to show for their work, and many mothers proudly exhibit the hot-pads they received as gifts. Club periods flew by as clicking needles and brightly-colored balls of yarn were enthusiastically plied by energetic fingers. It was not long before the pads were finished and exhibited to admiring friends. The next project was the most absorbing work of all. The girls were allowed to choose a major project for the semester. XVith n host of sweater and ensemble patterns to choose from, it was no wonder that the con- versation of the club became an animated discussion on the advantages and disadvan- tages of each. When work on the big project was finally started, the clicking became a steady hum as the sweaters were rushed to completion. No doubt the club will be continued, for Miss Hodgen plans to have the experienced members aid her in teaching beginners to knit, thereby permitting more girls to know this useful and enjoyable art.

The repetitious mumbling of numbers ceases, and the room becomes still except for the occasional rattle of turning leaves and the scrape of chairs. just as we reach this state of near perfection, the tramp of feet is heard approaching doors that close noiselessly behind a class. They have come for an hour of directed reading to this spacious room-the walls li-ned with books as high as one can reach, up to the arched, cool-looking windows. Club days are looked forward to eagerly, for we enjoy the interesting lectures, sprin- kled generously with sidetrack subjects related to the Held of books and libraries. Spe- cial holidays bring intriguing surprises that break into the seeming dignity of the club's sphere-little things to brighten the whole day. At the early hour of 7:30 A. M. the library is opened to accommodate those who care enough about their work to get to school early. This privilege of extra time in the library is also extended to after school. Through the entire day the library is crowded V .- f Y. A with different groups, each with a definite job for a definite time. Willing hands put into practical use the things learned in the Library Club, daily learning new lessons in service with a smile. This year the library has shown growth- alrnost four hundred new personalities in the guise of books have been shelved by the industrious library staff for the use of every- one. Truly books are Food for the soul, and the library the never-failing storehouse that serves this need. Sixiy-right GIRLS LEAGUE With every girl in Bloom a member, the Girls' League has done its best to carry out the high ideals of service, courtesy, and co-operation set forth in its pledge. Activities of the League for 1935-36 include: October 10-Friendship Tag Day. The money from this was put into the club room fund. November 1-Freshman Frolic and Big Sisters. Knowing how the small freshies-must feel in this new, strange school, the Big Sistersf, a group of senior girls under the direction of Charlotte Frenck, entertained them at the Freshman Frolic. - November 27--Thanksgiving Assembly. The girls tried their hand at something new, an all school assembly pro- gram in the form of a Pageant, portraying the lives of the Pilgrims from the time they left England until they cele- brated the first Thanksgiving. December 17-Leadership Panel Forum: the first of its kind to be held in Bloom. December 18-Christmas Decorations. It wasn't Santa Claus, but members of the G. A.

' Through the earnestness of the Zoology class members of 1929, the Audubon Society was organized immediately under the spon- sorship of Miss Haviland, an acknowledged botany and Zoology enthusiast and author- ity. Named for John james Audubon, the ' famous American ornithologist and painter of bird pictures, this society is the oldest organization in the United States consecrated wholly to the safety of our feathered friends and wild animals. The Bloom Society is afliliated with the National Association and with the Illinois Junior Academy of Science. Actual experiences were coordinated with classroom practice in a trip to Brookfield Zoo in November, where the members were thrilled not only with flamingoes, penguins, swans, and the whistling magpie lark, but with monkeys, snakes, elephants, and lions, as well as in trips to the Flower Show in March. At the bi-weekly meetings reports from different members on the habits, appear- ances, and songs of different birds- are followed by discussion. Phonograph records of bird songs also add interest and variety to the programs. The making of a club bulletin, directed by Martha Condon, and of posters, which are to be sent to the Junior Acad- emy Conference at Quincy, Illinois, has occupied a few members.

HYSICS is that science which explains the why and how of many of the world's everyday phenomena-why do we see the lightning flash before we hear thc thunder, how does the radio bring to us voices, hundreds of miles away? Under the leadership of Mr. Froehlich, the Physics Club was organized so that the more scientifically minded Bloomites could delve a little deeper into physical mysteries than class work permits. This objective was realized in thebi-weekly meetings of the club, in a three-fold manner: through demonstrations and experiments performed by various members, for the benefit of the entire group, through floor talks and discussions on scientilic current eventsg and through field trips. - The demonstrations, experiments, and discussions were centered about five general topics, namely, high frequency electricity, thermo-electricity, radio communication, telephone communication, and glass. Field trips included an inspection of Bloom's heating and ventilating system and a ivisit to the Owens-Illinois Glass Factory. Members of the club act as Mr. Froeh- lich's assistants in the operation of Bloom's amplifying system. - The club sponsored a social hour early in the season, the proceeds of' which enabled the club to carry 'out successfully its pro- gram on a favorable financial basis. The officers chosen for the year's term consisted of Elmer Hahn, president, Willys Ruge, vice-presidentg Maxine D'Amico, sec- retary, and Charles Gierach, treasurer.

Miss Average Bloomite, hurrying down the corridor to class, turns in sur- prise to spy an ambitious amateur photographer snapping pictures that are preserv- ing our school life for -posterity. This scene became an increasingly common sight as Mr. Lare's Kodakmen, having absorbed the technique of taking good pictures, hurried out into the hustle and bustle to put newly acquired knowledge into practice. XVhen the call for members was made in September, sixty eager applicants answered, much to the astonishment of Mr. Lare. This large membership forced him to divide the club into two sections which meet on alternating weeks. The members are not only shown how to taker good pictures in this in- .. p . teresting club, but also how to develop the negative into the finished product. Each member is required to develop three nega- tives of pictures that he has snapped duri-ng the year. The more advanced photographers in the club aided Mr. Lare to a great extent in snapshots and cuts for the annual. Various exhibits of their skill may be found in several sections of this book. Sezfvniy-Iwo HE Chess and Checker Club of ,irq w, r- . Bloom, a recent addition to the list of lil! Q activities, has proved to be a real suc- cess. With queens capturing pawns, bish- ops piously carrying out their religious duties of protecting their own queen's pieces, and knights flying the banners of their lady- loves, the chess enthusiasts have had an in- teresting time of it. Meanwhile the checker players have shared the fun while jumping and romping around the checker board to their hearts' content. Mr. Manske, an inter- ested chess player himself, organized the club and has given helpful suggestions to the members, including the organization and the promotion of several interscholastic tournaments. At first, all the members played rather recklesslyg but as time progressed that misty look around the eyes appeared, and that atmosphere in which only chess players can thrive pervaded the room every club day. However, the checker players managed to keep a little more semblance of life at their games by their gay capering and continual capturing of the opponents' men. l The dictators of these kings and queens are controlled by the president, William Morrillg vice president, Virgil Du Boisg and secretary, Rosalie Bielman. r if r 1 msirefffvm Regardless of the short life of the club, present enthusiasm promises a colorful future for this new activity of Bloom.

CHESS AND CI-IECKER Seven fy-ibrer LONG, long time ago-as the old story runs, and a short time since, people have migrated to America. The British Isles, the nearby mainland, and the Mediterranean are combined in the great melting pot of all nations. These bequeath a kaleidoscopic heritage to young Americans of today, 'of whom a creditable percentage attend Bloom. The Greek girl with the rich olive complexion, characteristic of Mediterl ranean peoples contributes her culture to P that of the temperamental young French- man and his stolid German neighbor, each altering the other's view points. Twenty-eight young Americans with such backgrounds as the above comprise the membership of the I. R. C., one of the most active and interesting .clubs in school, meeting bi-weekly in the Tower Room. Here momentous questions and their relation to the United States have been pondered. QWithoutk faculty supervision students exhibit a surprising knowledge of national and international affairs., Among the many ques- tions are the Italo-Ethiopian War, the Russo-Japanese Crisis, The League of Nations, Economic Difiiculties in the United States, Customs and Beliefs Prevalent i-n Foreign Countries, and Disarmament. The students show surprising capability in their analysis of these problems which are of vital importance to the world today. In the future we hope to find some of the members taking an active part in our country's history.

What kind of history are the generations of today making? Questions of national politics andpolicies afford discussion in the newly-organized National Affairs Club, which is encouraged by the National Associa- tion of Student Government and the City of Bloom, and guided by Mr. Ridinger, sponsor, who is vitally interested in modern government. Conducted by various members of the club, each of whom contributes his own thoughts, observations, and studies in order better to acquaint the members with the subject, the meetings show a fine spirit of cooperation, a harmony which promotes an intimate interest in the club's actions. The speakers take advantage offree literature available upon their topic of argument. ' A Possible 'presidential timber has been discussed in an impartial-manner. Party princi- ples are not their concerng their aim is an unprejudiced opinion of affairs in our national capital. Of course, settlement of public problems by them is irnpossibleg but discussions determine a thorough understanding of both sides and serve as a guide in further discussion. These searchers for more knowledge of modern politics and occurrences are headed by Martin Wald, presidentg Oscar Maystro- vich, vice presiclentg and Wanda Munsey, secretary. Through the organization of, the Na- tional Affairs Club it is hoped that its fun- damental principles and aims will succeed in inspiring in the students of Bloom higher ideals of citizenship and a deeper reverence for our governmental institutions.

ELEBRATING its second year in Bloom Township High School, the Typing Club worked under its present sponsor, Miss Mildred A. Hodgen. The purpose of the Typing Club is to advance the development of speed and accuracy in typing. Only students with an A or B average in typing have the privi- lege of becoming members of the club. The club consists of twenty-two members. Each club member tries for membership in the O. A. T. QOrder of Artistic Typistsj. The requirement for this membership is to type a perfect copy of an article published each month by the Gregg Company in their magazine, The Gregg Writer. The object of the article is to display skill at the keyboard, as well as evenness in touch and accu- racy in typing. Members of the Typing Club who have already received ju-nior O. A. T. certiiicates are: Donald McQueen, Robert Walters, Frank Horency, June Losco, Leonore Young, Charlotte Frenck, Felicia Bonick, Gertrude Grabs, Sophie Dombrowski, Margaret Mont- petit, Paul Kramer, Wanda Watson, Velma Jaeger, june Maier, Ann Eicher, Doris Fox, and Helen Iagmin. Mary Spi-nozzi, Theresa Cimaroli, joan Gasior, Helen Girnis, La Verne Bunte, and Mike Dantico have re- l ceived both junior and Senior certificates. After receiving either certificate the stu- dents are entitled to the O. A. T. pin. In the district typing contest, held April 25, at Peotone, Blooms typing team, Mar- guerite Smith, Margaret Montpetit, Lenore Young with Paul Kramer and Robert Walters as alternates, won first place. Mar- guerite Smith Won first place in the indi- vidual competition with Margaret Mont- petit as alternate. Se'1'e1liy-tix QUILL AND SCROLL Bloom entered on its membership into the International Quill and Scroll last year. The work of checking on the require- ment, journalistic skill, scholastic ability, a-nd earnestness in editing the Bloom pub- lication was in the hands of Edward Hill, one of the most enthusiastic journalists and a member of both the Broadcaster and Bloom staffs. Through this year the junior members of last year carried on. Richard Moss and Gladys Gaines, both have been edi- tors of the newspaper, later Gladys was appointed as literary editor of the Bloom. Thomas Stapleton contributed much to the Broadcaster and received honorable mention in the Quill and Scroll Editorial Contest. The members elected into the Quill and Scroll were those who had met the re- quirements of the Quill and Scroll Board -that is, they must have been in the upper third of the Senior class, have clone creditable work on the publications, and reported some of the best samples of newspaper writing, as well as working satisfactorily on either paper or annual. The students elected here are Violet An- derson, Virginia Hansen, Robert John- son, George Merker, Betty Messires, Ro- bert Palmquist, Fannie Paris, Audrey Ann Paulsen, and Roy Stealey. These names are now in the hands of the judges. They have been recommended by the sponsor and approved by an Eng- lish committee. Though this organiza- tion includes juniors, seniors and post graduates, these represent members of the senior class because of their service, earn- estness, originality, or unlimited energy. The junior class offers much promise of excellent Quill and Scroll material, but the publication work was limited to writing for the newspaper and compiling the last issues. From this class already many active officers have been chosen to carry on the work of the group now graduating.

In order to secure the required qualifications for editor- ship and business management, the election of candidates occurred prior to that of other major offices. The value of the permanency of a year book, as well as its high ranking, was early impressed on the staff by Miss Way, and the choice of assistants was made with the greatest care, both as to scholastic standing and journal- istic training. After the book had been pla-nned and the theme chosen, the task of a fitting make-up, originality of style, a-nd variety of form rested on the shoulders of the co-editors. Getting a flying start at the close of the football season, and with senior panels in january, the handicaps of broken schedules, sub-zero temperature, and forced vacations caused delay. This required redoubled efforts for the staff to get the copy to the printer and engraver near the deadli-ne mark. At this writing, with George Merker as a driving force, one sees everywhere other members checking up, hoping the first payments might be made by May first to the office manager-Robert Carrier. The delicate art that is editing has been handled very deftly by Violet Anderson and Roy Stealey. Under the direction of Miss Way both editors chose a group of staff workers, students who because of their efficiency in dealing with journalistic details could direct minor affairs. The advertising manager, William Mathews, proved himself a popular favorite with store and shop executives who generously contributed ads and signatures which make the book not only a school but also a city project. Editor Violet Anderson directed the editorial writings which play such an important part in the theme and make up of the annual. N Thus it is, that after a yearis comprehensive indulgence and intensive plan-ning, the 1936 edition of The Bloom goes on its way, bringing to the staff the satisfaction of a job well done. To the seniors it is a book of memories, a book of priceless value, and one which can never be replaced.

The school camera was thus put into active use this year. , . As time passed added interest was ma-nifest, and the widespread curiosity com- pelled thc staff to limit admittance to Room 313 to Bloom workers only. The follow- ing constitute the department heads: Liter- ary Editor, Gladys GainesgAArt, Evelyn Holcomb, Seniors, Helen Holbrookg Boys' Athletics, Robert G.

This reminder results in scurrying reporters, flying pencils, furrowed foreheads, and finally, a pile of neatly typed copy ready for its journey to the printers. A few days later all Bloom reads a fresh edition of her school paper. This fall the staff, aided by its indispensable sponsor, Miss Way, experimented with a mimeographed paper. After two issues, however, the regular Broadcaster returned by the popular demand of the student body. Backed almost one hundred per cent by the senior advisories the paper put itself on a paying basis, and the staff found that printing expenditures could be met. By sponsoring an animal assembly program the Broadcaster also added to its coffers. Developing the organization of last year's home room group captain system brought a new spirit of clean competition into the subscription drives. Business management not only rain more smoothly, but the captains also received valuable training in arousing interest in leadership, constructive cooperation, and bookkeeping experience. A number of the most active sub reporters enriched at intervals the literary phase of the paper. Thus, as time went on, Broadcaster assistants increased in number, more and more subsidiary channels flowed into the main stream. Some of the most outstanding accomplishments of the year were several special issues, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and April Fool editions, and also a literary insert num- ber. The paper was again submitted to the high court of critical survey, the Quill and Scroll, for comparative rating.

Each captain took the responsibility of collecting payments on the install- ment plan in his respective home room, for the business manager. This method re- lieved the advisers of the petty details and at the same time offered to the captains a training in keeping books and getting into business contact with his home room companions. It proved quite satisfactory and thus became an established system. This year the same method was followed with the reduced price of sixty cents per year. The response was gratifying at first but as time went on many groups had to be continually urged to pay their installments, with the result that many captains who succeeded in reaching their full quota were rewarded by a picture in the annual. The following captains' advisories are listed according to classes: Seniors: Miss Haessler, Miss Herr, Mr. Ignelzi, Mr. McCann, Miss Melli-nger, Mr. Peterson, Miss Smith, Miss Young. Juniors: Mr. Frothlich, Miss Haskett, Miss Hielscher, Mr. Manske, Miss Martin, Miss Mathews, Miss Norman, Miss Veazey, Miss Wallace. g Sophomores: Mr. Anderberg, Miss Ash, Mr. Briggs, Miss Garrison, Miss Haviland, Miss I-Iodgen, Miss Leising, Miss Linden, Miss Opfer, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Sarif, Mr. Walden- fels, Miss Way, Miss XVilso-n. Freshmen: Miss Applegate, Mr. Bell, Mr. Bull, Miss Drinkwater, Miss Ellison, Miss Futcher, Miss Marshall, Miss Peirce, Mr. Ridinger, Mr. Rowe. Those who failed to pay their installments in full must now pay ten cents, each issue. Therc arc but eight delinquent groups. Eighty-one HE plays' the thing wherein, we'll catch the fancy--of them all, may be said of the Shakespearians who or- ganized two years ago under the direction of Miss XVallace and Miss Mernitz, and who have grown greatly in prominence since its creation. Its purpose is, as far as possible, to recreate Shakespearian style in acting, and produce plays by the old master for whom the club was named. Many of Shakespeare's plays have been produced by members of the club at its semi- monthly meetings. Among these were selec- tions from A Merchant of Venicef, Twelfth Nightf' The Taming of the Shrew, and Caliban.', At the Bloom Annual assembly program scenes from The Taming of the Shrew were presented by Helen Kalcic, Katherine the Slirewg Donald McDonald, Petruchiog George Flexman, Baptistag Jack Dykstra, Grumiog Alrio Micci, Pronio and Vencentiag Richard Moss, Gremio and Hortensio. Near the close of the first semester Miss Mernitz was replaced by Mr. Theodore Little, who now acts as a co-director of the club. Judging from the universal interest displayed in the club by both faculty and stu- dents, it may continue for many years in its place, prominent among Bloom's activities.

Captain Bartlett, a crazed old seaman, still clings to the hope that his lost ship, the Mary Ellen, may return bearing a lost treasure.

It has long been an open question as to whether Father or Mother knows best how to bring up the children. Some say Mother knows best, and others give Papa the credit. However, the senior class sided with Mother when they presented their version of Big Hearted Herbert, a delightful three-act comedy by Anna Richardson and Sophie Kerr. The point was very decidedly and entertainingly proved as the actors depicted typical American home problems in the Washington School auditorium on the evenings of May 15th and 16th. Marital worries of a young couple and school problems of others, mixed with the gruff manners of a self-made business man, were only a few of the hilarious entanglernents which kept an appreciative audience in paroxysms of merri- ment.

Arthur Brziuer, Harold Hecht, HE ties that bind us are those of common interests. This fellowship is true of the Vlusicizrn Club, which is composed of about fifty students who are interested in nusic. They have banded together under Mr. Ohlendorf's leadership to increase their knowledge of music as the language of the masters. This group meets every Tuesday in the music room, where they are schooled in the appreciation of music. The club conducts discussions each week in which all phases of music are brought to the members' attention. Questions and facts about composers of the various schools- Classical, Romantic, Impressionistic, Modern and Contemporaryg the rules governi-ng the form of music, the different kinds of music, and the lives of composers and artistsg these contribute to a lively and informative discussion. Current events in the musical world are frequently called to the attention of the club in order that they may learn more about music through attending concerts and recitals, and reading comments on current programs. Much of the discussion is done through special reports given by the students with Mr. Ohlendorf emphasizing the important points. Besides these discussions the club is becoming acquainted with more of the music of the masters through phono- graph records. Most of the club look on music only as a hobbyg few of them aspire to become famous artists. Yet all of the members realize that an enjoyment of music is something which will benefit their lives. The club desires to i-ncrease the members' knowledge of music in order that they may have a better appre- ciation of the greatest form of human ex- pression-music. Eigbly-sc van Y J CONDUCTOR g MR. OHLENDORF , l ORCHESTRA Mr. Ohlendorf, may we have some incidental music for our tea this afternoon? . . . Do you think the orchestra can play a few selections at our Parent-Teachers' Meeting next Tuesday? . . . We would like to have the orchestra at next Friday's assembly pro- gram. . . . and so on. Requests such as these, from various organizations of both our school and city, come to Bloom's musicians throughout the year and prove of double beneit: opportunity to hear Bloom's orchestral melodies and a chance for public practices. The orchestra, which is comprised of seventy-five ardent musicians headed by Alfio Micci, concertmeisterg George Flexman, president, Edith I-Iesemann, secretaryg Roger Spencer, treasurerg and Frank Miller and Eligio Panici, librarians, rehearses at the seventh period three times a week under its able conductor, Fred Ohlendorf. The orchestra's repertoire this year has included many difficult works from the scores of Vfagner, Saint- Saens, Tschaikowsky and other composers. The concerts have been successful not only musically, but also financially, the latter accomplished through the faithful cooperation of the newly organized School Orchestra Association. The orchestra and its members have carried on Bloom's high reputation in the musical world by participating in various competitions and obtaining high honors. l ALFIO MICCI Bloom Orchestra concertmeister of four years and All-State Orchestra concertmeister for three consecutive years, a posi- tion never held for so long a time before in the history of the All-State Orchestra, Alfio Micci has set a high mark in school music accomplishment. Playing Saint-Saen's Rondo Capriccioson at a late concert, Alho showed the musician's skill acquired through his studies with Fred Ohlendorf and Ludwig Becker. Eighty- nim' N im-ly McClanal1an .

With Mr. C. G. Crumb as director the high school band participated in many public activities-at all of the home foot- ball games and at the Kankakee night game. From the splash of bright blue ftheir newly-acquired uniformsj which marked the location of the band came 1 the stirring marches which gave encour- agement to the players. The opening of the basketball season found the band occupying their stage in N the Bloom gym. During the District Q Tournament QMarch 4-71, they fur- nished musical entertainment and pep MR- CRUMB that urged the teams to greater efforts Director for victory. February 21 was red letter day, for then the band gave a benefit dance at which they netted enough money to purchase four additional uniforms. The officers who assisted Mr. Crumb with the year's .program consisted of Willis Irwin, presidentg Richard Hesemann, vice-presidentg and Irene Reichert, secretary- treasurer. . g N Having personally studied under Mr. Van- dercook, renowned composer, conductor, and A W teacher, Audrey Ann Paulsen has for the last year assumed the responsibilities of Student Director. Audrey Ann regularly plays 'prin- cipal baritone in the band. A student of Mr. Max Pottog of the Chi- cago Symphony Orchestra, George Merker, solo chair Hornist, a fine drum-major, and a music enthusiast from head to toe, has been active in both the Band and Orchestra in his full four years in Bloom.

The club regularly sang at school assemblies and Parent-Teachers' meetings. At the Christmas program they entertained the school and on April twenty-fourth they performed at the girls' program. At Open House the Glee Club sang The Old Refrain by Fritz Kreisler. The numbers given at the Parent-Teacher meeting were: W'i'ngs of the Morning by Alice Lee Wfiley, and The Dearest Spot, the words to which were written by Mr. Boyer to music by Xlifrighton. At the Christmas program the Club presented three numbers: Cantique d'Noel by A. Adam, Carol of the Russian Children by Harvey Gaul, and Processio-nal',-- Adestes Fideles. At the Girls' program they sang three popular tunes: A Little Bit Independentf' Rhythm in Our Nursery Rhymesf, and Beautiful Lady in Blue. Also, the Glee Club practiced the new school song, Bloom Township High School, by Vernon Kuetemeyer. ,This num- be: won first prize in the original contest sponsored by the City of Bloom. Sesand prize was awarded to Rosalyn Gordon whose song wan entitled Bloom Spirit. NilI!'fJ'-f1K'0 BOYS' GLEE CLUB HE vocal aspirations of the future Carusos of Bloom were thwarted when the Boys' Glee Club was discontinued in January because of misarranged recitation programs. In spite of the short duration of the club this year, they had a full program practis- ing two times a week under the direction of Miss Wilson and accompanied by Audrey Bahlman. Included in the club repertoire were songs ranging from the solemn Finlandia,' to the joyous Cossion Kong. Songs, old and new, were sung until they were classed perfect.

Ninety-three CASTING CLUB ESIDES learning how to bait the hook and to throw the line during their weekly meetings, the Izaac Waltons of Bloom have spent happy week-ends and vacations reeling in their catches, Organized in 1933 with Mr. Peterson, an expert fisherman, as sponsor, this interesting club has continued and is now headed by Roy Cofrafn, president, Neville French, secre- tary, Robert Pallo, treasurer, and Wilson Gibbs, program chairman. ACCOUNTING CLUB The Accounting Club, sponsored and organized during this last semester by Mr. A. Berg, was limited to students with an A average in bookkeeping. Lectures and instructions on how to use the Burrough's Calculator, by Mr. M. McFerran, who is a friend of Mr. Berg's, make up the bi-weekly meetings. The memgers are Elsie Brink- mann, Anne Bury, Vfilliam Gavenda, Leo Mikos, Bernice Peterson, Joyce Va-n Voorhis, Dorothy Wojcik, and Walter Ziebell. DEBATE CLUB Early in March an interested group of students formed a debate club with Miss Leising as sponsor, Helen Schwoeffermann, president, Jack Brindle, vice-presidentg George Ziegler, secretary, and Peggy Cornet, treasurer. Discussions about various phases and technical terms of debating helped to form the background for actual debating. It is their desire to form a team capable of defeating the Thornton team. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Bloom Chapter of the Future Farmers of America, a nation wide organization, is headed by William Labhart, presidentg Walter Jaenicke, vice president, Jack Clausen, secretary, and Robert Pallo, treasurer. Enterprises of this year number the fair, which was really a contest of the exhibits from different schools, and the egg-laying con- test in which the boys of the agriculture classes in Bloom and the farmers in the township participated. This year Hrst prize was won by Robert Pallo, second prize, Henry Bakker, and third prize, Foch Beck. THE MATHEMATICS CLUB F A MEMBER of the Mathematics Club asks you questions, answer cautiously. These number sharks can find out everything from your age to your lucky num- ber just by asking a few questions. Besides tricks with numbers, the club learns short-cuts in working problems and discusses the history of mathematics. The club, sponsored by Miss Martin, is led by John Schlener, president, Nils Lindberg, secretary, and Alex Kuras, treasurer. Nim'fy-four Ninvfy-ff vc E-4 I--I I--I TRAINING IS EVERYTHING.

HT-Allgouth Suburban selections, EVEN lettermen and a husky, small group of gridders formed the nucleus of Coach Sarifis '35 football team. Three weeks later, whipped into splendid condition, these same gridmen formed one of the most outstanding high school football teams of Illinois, as they -proved in their opening practice tilt with the much heavier New Trier eleven, later state champions. The confident North side eleven, which easily swamped other grid notables of the prep world, met one of its toughest opponents in the vicious, hard-charging Bloom team. Late in the third period a wild pass from center lost the game for Bloom by putting New Trier in a position to make the lone score, 6-0. Quarterback Bud Scheiwe's excellent strategy, punting, and passing furnished the spark for the teamg thus when injuries necessitated his removal from action, a great eleven, destined to achieve new heights, faltered through most of its season without a leader. Journeying to Riverside-Brookfield the following Saturday, Bloom yielded an 18-0 defeat. A trick play, an intercepted pass, a-nd a punt-return all resulted in scores. Back to the home field, Argo furnished the Hrst taste of victory as Bloom overwhelmed the lighter team, 19-0. The addition of Blanchard in the forward wall encouraged more line play, although one of the touchdowns was the result of a pass. Argo staged a gallant last quarter rally, gaining four first downs via the air. To open the South Suburban League race, Bloom invaded Kankakee's grid for a night game a-nd suffered one of the several upsets of the year, 13-12. A pass to Johnny Brown brought Bloom's first score, but the downstate team pushed over two touchdowns in rapid succession. However, the Bloom eleven maintained the offensive fury which had characterized its play earlier in the game, and in the third quarter smashed over another Nim-fy-seven score. The try for point failed, and Kankakee managed to repulse Bloom's frequent rallies. Close upon the heels of the Kankakee upset, Wfaukega-n brought another heart-break- ing disaster. Leading 13-0 with two minutes to play, Bloom weakened and permitted Waukegan to score twice, on a blocked punt and Pillifant's circus catch of a pass on the goal-line, to tie the score at 13-13. Charged with renewed spirit Bloom rolled up a comparatively easy 12-0 victory over Blue Island in the second conference game the following week. The Big Game with Thornton loomed as the high spot of the season, and with Scheiwe in at quarterback victory was certain. Though the Hrst three periods went scoreless, the tempo of the game continued unabated, and in the final quarter Brown scored on a pass and Marconi converted. Bloom then began driving at the Thornton goal line with vicious abandon, and Bieronski scored the second and iinal touchdown from the 1-yard line. Score, 13-0. Relieved of the tension of the Thornton game, the Bloom squad eased up for the night battle with Calumet at Hammond, Indiana, and lost a share of the championship when Calumet ran roughshod to a 19-0 victory. The fleet blue-and-white backs failed to penetrate Calumetis forward wall, and because of the glaring lights were without their most dangerous offensive weapon, a short forward pass trick play--had always been featured against opponents for sizeable gains. The climaxing game of the season was played with Pullman Tech, and the Sarfflmen again met misfortune, when Fate dealt the final blow. The score stood at 7-7 with 10 seconds remaining of play when Bloom decided to pass with the ball on Pullman's forty- yard line. Ascher's pass was intercepted by Wajichowski, who continued in stride to score the winning margin, 13-7.

A human dynamo of football energy, Aggie possesses a natural quality of leadership which aided in his selection as All-South Suburban tackle. Louis Marconi won his spurs as a junior last year and kept up a varsity rating to figure prominently in his senior season. The husky halfback is dark and dynamic, runs hard, and is an excellent passer. Ed Wein was an aggressive, smart, heavy fullback, hard to fool on defence and difficult to stop on offense. Despite handicap of injuries, the giant line-smasher was hailed as Bloom's most dangerous threat for two years. A year-old knee injury failed to bench Bud Scheiwe, who won the respect of all because of his gusto, scrappy nature, enterprise, and courage, the hallmarks of a great season's player. Being an ace dash man and hurdler, Al Spina was able to display his talent from the halfback position, where his wide end runs and lengthy sprints marked him as one of the most brilliant and elusive performers i-n the conference. As understudy to Scheiwe, Aaron Ascher frequently guided the Sarffmen's offensive drives, and in addition brought his accurate passing ability i-nto effective use. While not a replica of the powerful physique of Wein, Bill Linko substituted con- sistently in the fullback position. He was the bruising, bumping, thumping type that always shows an eagerness to do his share of the line-smashing. Lost to the Sarffmen for the first two games, Sherman Blanchard returned to bolster up the defense as a line-splitting charger and Wrecker of enemy pass attacks. Sherm made glorious use of his size, skill, and speed to outrank every other pivot man and clinch the All-South Suburban center berth. One of the flank positions was most capably filled by the easy-going, likeable Louis Bekeza. Beside being a defensive mainstay in the forward wall, the la-nky wingman stood out more as a ground-gaining end because of his uncanny ability to snag pigskin aerials. Ninety-nine I ln Captain Dave Schnable the calm depend- ability of a leader was ever present. The peak of Dave's season was reached at Thornton, when his unerring eye kept Bloom constantly in the run- ning. A polished forward, Bob Yates generated the heat for his team's attack. This dynamic star qualiiied himself as the most valuable pony cage- man. ln addition to his effective ball-handling, Bill Kaczmarski was also made conspicuous by his fiery nature and scrappy, faultless play. Rapid development gave assurance that Paul De Prosperis was capable of holding down Cos- tello's job at guard. His only disappointment was that he failed to match his fouls with baskets. Invaluable as a feeder, Frank Clark's loss through injuries cut down Bob Yates' all-around effectiveness. XVhenever the team was a bit low, it needed only John Sipple to arouse them from their lethargy. In fact, john could be relied upon to :dd color to any dull contest. A spectacular long-shot artist in johnny Cos- tello was lost to the squad at mid-year. The Calumet game was the scene of his best work and furnished a fitting climax to his career. Heartening was the showing of Alfred Zona, the great little forward who filled to perfection the position vacated by Clark.

NEW system of selecting lightweight basketball players in the South Suburban League dealt a crushing blow to Coach H. W. M'Canri's hopes for a team of cham- pionship calibre. The variation from former requirements was based upon a point system which judged aspirants by age, weight and height. The total 'number of exponents per player was ten, and any surpassing that limit were ineligible for light- weight competition. Thus, with a squad boasting no really seasoned material, Coach M'Cann produced another sensational quintet which forged to the front as one of the major court 'threats of the conference. The season record included ten victories against three defeats, clinch- ing second place next to Blue Island, who suffered no set-backs throughout the schedule. The Islanders' strongest asset in their two wins over Bloom was their exceptional height, but they lacked the co-ordination of the Mackmen. The Bloom cagers were unsuccessful in their second encounter with Thornton, when, despite the sterling Work of Captain Dave Schnable, they succumbed, 23-22, i-n a bitter nip-and-tuck battle. A leg injury caused the loss of Frank Clark's services at an early stage of the season, and slowed up Bloom's attack considerably. Midyear graduation claimed Johnny Cos- tello, one of the bright spots of the schedule, and the diminutive Bob Yates, though han- dicapped without these two, carried on as the spark-plug of the team. The consistent dependability of Kaczmarski, Captain Schnable, Zona, and De Prosperis was an impor- tant item, all being invaluable to the vital necessity of teamwork. Never failing in the tight places, john Sipple, Elmer Ranieri, and John Matus were essential cogs whose improvement challenged thc positions of the regulars. LIGHTWEIGHT SEASON SCORES Bloom.. . .

LOOM'S cage supremacy of former years was vividly reflected in the '35-'36 seasonal basketball mirror as the Sarffmen continued in an almost unbroken stride to clinch a two-way tie for the South Suburban League heavyweight champion- ship. Represented by four teams of almost equal calibre, the suburban race proved to be one of the most perplexing in recent years, and three incidents in the conference turmoil were responsible for the title share with Blue Isla-nd. On these three occasions . . d Bloom was compelled to split a two-game series with Blue Island, Kankakee, an Thornton. Like the man biting the dog, it is news when Bloom defeats Thornton in basketball. But the surprise came after four lean years when the Sarffmen journeyed to the oppon- ents' gym and scored a tremendous victory in the second encounter of the series. The score was 39-17, and the landslide sweep was adequate retribution for the earlier defeat, 42-40. ' Throughout the entire campaign Coach C. M. Sarff was obliged to depend repeatedly upon the services of five regulars, who invariably saw full-time action.

' His brilliant performance marked Norman Cusick as an incomparable guardg his work under the basket was exceptional. Lanky Ulyses Reid built up a good reputation through his knack for making baskets. The scor- ing ace of the Sarffmen was an indispensable cog at center. With height and proficiency, Ed Dombrowski proved an adequate replacement for Reid. Capt. Louie Marconi's stellar performance showed him to be a last-ditch fighter who is at his best when going is the toughest. He had the perspicacity to see the Weaknesses of his oppo- nents. His personality and leadership will be missed. Though handicapped by a bad knee, the quiet, collected floor leader, Bud Scheiwe, acted as a pace-setter and inspiration to the team. As understudy to Scheiwe, Nick Nardi's flashy play figured prominently in time of need. Lack of experience kept Milton Pristach out of the front ranks, but the quality of his work in the latter part of the season slates him as prom- ising varsity material for next year. rife. - J .sw-2 ' ff we We - rs. . if . . , me fewer.

INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL ONTRARY to former years, the intramural basketball tournament was included in the fall sports show, immediately following the grid season and preceding the usual interscholastic cage debut. This action, made upon the recommendation of the Board of Athletics, proved to be most advantageous to the coaches, who were thus able to observe all participants during play and ferret out new and promising material for Bloom's regular court squads. There was also a definite increase in participation and greater enthusiasm of its fol- lowers in this annual tourney, which saw Mr. McCann's advisery sweep through to the finals and eventually cop the trophy. The M,Ca-nnmen inaugurated their tournament drive -with a win over Miss Haessler's group. A technicality arose in their encounter with Miss Herr's team, and the M'Cann cagers were awarded the game after protest. Continuing their march, they turned in identical winning scores over teams of Miss Mellinger and Mr. Nelson, the latter game being in the semi-finals. In the finals the senior players emerged victorious over Miss Lesher's group by a 22-8 score and earned the honor of being the only team to file a second claim for the intramural basketball championship. Chiefs of the ball-chasing, roll- and time-checking court minions were faculty mem- bers, Mr. Ridinger and Mr. Briggs, and student supervisor, Bob Johnson. As in the sea- son past, both girls' and boys' gyms were put to use in an effort to accommodate the large 'number of competing teams and at the same time present a reasonable time schedule for the players. Approximately fifty-five advisery teams participated in the intramural tournament a-nd over three hundred and eighty boys represented these groups in competition. An average of nine games were run off- on a most satisfactory and systematic schedule, employing the services of students and faculty members alike in the largest undertaking of any intra-mural manaement. Attendance at all contests was free of charge, and though a fee of te-n cents was demanded for the final game, over half the student body was present. Capt. Howie Griggs figured prominently throughout the campaign and much of the team's success was attributed to his flashy play. An advantage in height marked Swede Johnson as a main cog at center and the scoring ability of Gasbarra, and Gavenda was a most outstanding factor. The guard work of Queedo Lauteri and George Gustafson was exceptional for tournament competition. Om' Hundred Four Sflllldlillg-Cl13l'l8S Jacob. George Agatncci. James Powers, Matthew Lux.

WRESTLING CLUB The first wrestling squad in three years was orga-nized this semester through the con- sistent efforts of the Wrestling Club. This is the first wrestling squad organized in the new Bloom High. The sole purpose of this club is to interest boys in the manly art of self defense and to back all endeavors attempted by this squad. It is very popular among the boys of our school. Because of the district tournament the wrestling squad was handicapped, so got a late start and could only book two meets, both with Blue Island. Unfortunately, the boys dropped their first meet before a great crowd by a tightly fought battle, with the score a tie until the last battle. The final score was Blue Island 13, Bloom 8. In the second meet the boys showed their skill by winning the meet 12-6 and losing only two out of the eight battles before a great audience from the school. This ended the Wrestling career of the squad veterans, Gene Maffia, 135g Howard Miller, 1655 and Thomas Pachovas, 145. Participants in the two meets were: Frank Janusek 118 Won once Joe Tintari 125 Two draws Frank Franz 135 Draw and won Gene Maffia 135 Lost two Thomas Pachovas 145 Won two Jerry Simone 15 5 Draw and won one Emanuel Panici 165 Lost two Harold Miller ' 165 Lost one and won one - One H umlrezl Five TRACK Top row: Nick Aprati, Robert Konow, Robert Eberliardt.

Q The responsibility of putting out a track team was again placed in the experienced hands of E. R. Nelson and Glenn Anderberg. If the first track meet is any indication of the tracksters' abilities, the results of the remaining meets will be favorable. The seniors defeated the Blue Island seniors 72-41. The juniors met with equal success, defeating the Islander juniors 69-26. Some of the inexperienced boys showed signs of developing into first class track men. Although there was a loss of several boys through last year's graduation, there still remained a rich field from which to select top runners. The track team missed the superior services of Walter jaenicke, a dash man. Because of his illness just before the opening of the season he was not permitted to train or participate in the track meet with Blue Island. John Cascio's performance against the Islanders put him in a. position to fill Jaenicke's place. The burden of winning more track meets rests largely upon the following: Al Spina, John Cascio, Roy McCauley, Nebo Petrone, Harold Miller, Ralph Hollingsworth, Earl Myers, William jaenicke, Walfrid Wickstrom, Douglas Newling, Alex Sceresse, Emanuel Panici, John Piani, Eugene Stevenson, Joe Tintari, and Donald McQueen. From last year's track team two champions of the South Suburban League, Al Spina in the 220 low hurdles, a-nd Alex Sceresse in the 660 run, becamse assets to this seasonls team. With five more possible meets to their credit the 1936 track season should come to a successful close. As this book goes to press the Bloom Seniors have defeated University High, Fenger, and Thornton by large margins. The Helfrich Track Cup comes back to Bloom. Five Bloom Field records have been broken by the following boys-Spina, McCauley, Wingo, Sceresse, and Wickstrom. One Humlrcrl Six Because of the traditional April showers the baseball team was forced to remain idle the greater part of that month. OPE to an early start, Coach M'Cann whipped his squad into shape and prepared them for their initial conflict with Roosevelt of East Chicago. In this openi-ng fracas Boss M'Cann experimented with several lineups of potential greats, that proved their worth by winning decisive victories. Since that, Bloom has severely trounced University High and Morgan Park Military Academy in their only other appearances previous to this writing. With experience as its main asset and batting as its material strength the Bloom squad is rated to succeed in the majority of their remaining games. With the ex- ception of a few standard opponents there are no weak sisters on the Bloom schedule. The powerful Washington Club and the heated league rival, Blue Island, will bear out the truth of this statement. La Grange, a newcomer to Bloom foedom, is also a team of no little ability. With the prospect of a tight league race in view the coach has groomed his proteges into a fiery s-pirit of competition. The nucleus of the team is based upon the pitch- ing corps of which August Husarik and Walter Bieronski are the chief chuckers. The rest of the starting lineup is composed of Clark, lfg Scheiwe, 3bg Morrow, cg Bekeza, ssg Shambo, rfg Husarik, Zbg Hinze cfg and Yates lb. The two utility infielders are Pristach and Pfeil, while Linko serves in that capacity in the outer garden.

BASEBALL One H1mdreJ'Se11en Bloom's B Club provides its athletes with all the advantages of membership in a social group and at the same time oifers a desirable social contact which is so essential among lettermen of various sports. The success of the organization, now entering its third year under the sponsorship of Coach C. M. Sarif, is indicated by the annual increase in membership. Guiding the affairs of the club in the business channels were Bud Scheiwe, presi- dent, and Edmund Wein, who later was succeeded by Louis Marconi, vice-president until his graduation at mid-year, and Frank Clark held the position of secretary-treasurer. The foremost issue in the business of the club centered upon the rule regarding rightful Wearers of major and minor letters. It was set down in the minutes that the club was definitely opposed to allowing stude-nts other than athletes to wear B's. This particular question had been under consideration since the day of organization. The humorous angle grew out of the feeling that the girls of the G.A.A. were wearing the same emblems of achievement as the athletes. Although having a decidedly active interest in other campus activities, viz., tourna- ments and intra-mural sports, these boys have not been socially negligent. Their annual dance on March 27, given at the school, proved to be an outstanding success on the calendar of Bloom,s social functions. Top Row-Jerome Banks, George Agatuuci, Alfred Amos.

Om' Hzuulrml Tm GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION This year marks a turning point in the progress of the G.A.A., for the association has now become affiliated with the Illinois State Girls' Athletic Association. The previous system of points and awards has been discarded for one which will enable more girls to get an award for their work. The aim of each girl :now is to receive her league award-the state letter- I , for which 1600 points is re- quired. After this she will work for the 2000-points state emblem. Before she receives these awards each girl will be permitted to receive her first local award for 600 points and her second local award for 1200 points. Under the able leadership of the girls' athletic director, Miss Lelia Veazey, and with the aid of her very efficient Board, consisting of Nona George, Presidentg Marjorie Reardon, Vice-Presidentg Clara Smith, Secretary-Treasurer, Anne Lightstone, and Helen Gubitz, decided that this year every girl might be a member of the G.A.A., and that the social fee of ten cents would not be expected from those loyal members who see fit to aid the work of the association. The annual basketball and volleyball tournaments have again provided oportunity for activity and amusement for the Bloom girls. A special feature of the season was a basketball game between the senior girls and the women which was staged before the student bodyg the proceeds of this game enabled the association to replenish the meager equipment supply. Still another new event was entered in Bloom history. Thirty girls from Bloom were chosen to participate in a basketball throwing contest in which they competed against a number of other schools. Each girl was allowed twe-nty- four shots-three from each of the eight designated posi- tions on the floor. In the spring all attention is focused on baseball and the newly-accepted game of badminton. The aim of the girls this year as in all other years may be best described in the state pledge: I promise to uphold the ideals of the Girls' Athletic Association by promoting interest in athletics and the out of doorsg By living so that I may be healthy and strongg By making good sportsmanship a constant factor in my conduct.

When one chances to look down the centuries he sees the primitive people, who in order to express themselves, used various kinds of gestures which were gradually trans- formed into theatrical representations, i-n which a story was told through the actions of the dancers. Passions were represented by appropriate gestures accompanied by music and dancing until the ballet became the basis for fine interpretations. A Dance Club stressing the present-day art was organized by twelve enthusiastic Bloom girls. Grace and poise demand much practicing and under the capable leader- ship of the sponsor, Miss Lelia Veazey, the club developed a finish in this art as it increased the membership to a total of thirty girls. The Blue Danube Waltz, a Gypsy Da-nce, a Polish Mazurka, and Triolet were the important ballet dances interpreted by the dance group. The poise of the girls was displayed in a scarf dance at the Thanksgiving Day assembly program. The senior members will soon bid farewell to the organization they loved so wellg and as they continue in the graceful art they have acquired, they will give credit to the club they had organized. Those move easiest who have learned to dance. DANCE CLUB Om: H llllliffli Sixfcm ARCHERY With the coming of the spring, many of the girls turn their attention to the popular sport-archery. It has been the custom in the past to present those girls who attain certain scores with a felt arrow-head, designed by the colors of each class. There are five classes, White, for which one must receive 135 points, Black, 170 points, Blue, 200 points, Red, 250 points, and Yellow, 270 points. It is the ambition of the girls to double the list of names of those who have made a class. POSTURE WALK A posture walk contest is held each year by the gym classes to promote good posture. This year, the ten winners were chosen from a group of thirty participants by Miss Veazey, Miss Cutler, and Miss Lustfelt. The posture walk is looked forward to by all aspiring Bloom girls.

Night with the moon as a watchman Gently surrounds us and guards our secrets. The pale gold and rose of the sunset fades, And night comes. With the soft lapping of water On the shore, and in the silver path of the moon A lone canoe glides into peaceful serenity. A whispering breath through the trees, And the moon smiles, but is silent. Evening deepens into cool, crisp night, Waving branches cast weird shadows and The scent of harvest fills the air. The shining crescent fills and wanes. Like life it reaches its peak, then dwindles Night, of many moods, is life. Snow glistens in iridescent moonlight The stars weave a filmy web overhead. The sky is a deep blue-black and is banded With the silver ribbon of the milky way. The moon gazes over the sleeping world And then retires, satisfied that all is well.

LITERARY X Om' Hundred Nim-teen A PUPPY'S WOES Tell me what your trouble is, Little pup What makes your ears flop downward 'Stead of up? THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME Water freezes into a crooked, graceful icicle. The icicle melts into a quicksilver pool. A cuckoo hops a clock and calls his mate-humanity. We exist by emotions, not minutes. A girl quivers in raptureg time stands still. For ecstacy defies and triumphs over material time. Ten minutes ago a car crashed. A girl, writhing in poignant agony, has lived an eternity. Man is presumptuous to attempt to limit and bind infinity. Time does not tick monotonously, smoothly, in cut and dried intervals. It creeps with misery's hopelessness, it flies with joy's flashing swiftness. There is a bubble on a glass of gin. There is a pistol report. There will be a starv- ing child. Does it matter whether a man stands over a freshly painted cradle, or a freshly unearthed grave, so long as sand trickles through an hour glass? To name time as important is ludicrously inadequate. Time, inexhaustible as ignor- ance, inevitable as passion, and unescapable as the foot of a small boy who blocks the path of a hairy, slothful caterpillar, is nothing if one commands-is everything if one kneels. There was a jungle, there is an empire. During the time between, drops of water falling on onyx made an almost imperceptible hole. Gladys Gaines.

Full of hard knocks and no reward. 1 1 1 None but the brave deserve the fair, If I were brave I wouldn't care. ' Roy Stanley. One Hunrlrcd Twenty 1 AN S. O. S. FROM THE ETHER Honorary Mention in Quill and Scroll Thought, time, and beauty drowned themselves in the depths of her brown eyes, brown eyes that sparkled even more perceptibly in reply to the query, What five programs would you not tune in on if left alone in a locked room with a radio? Her husky voice dropped a note lower in emphasis as she answered: I would especially avoid dramatizations lunless those of Leslie Howard or Helen I-Iayesj, children's and household programs, cowboy songs, or Ed Wynn! The stress of her words brought me up with a jerk. Here was a mature judgment--just how did it compare with mine lundoubtedly adolescentj? Radio dramatizations are unquestionably poor. Yet the Lights Out program finds me invariably chewing my finger nails, and although the laugh of Fu Manchu may resemble only the squealing of a maddened pig to an adult mind, it embodies the very quintessence of thrilling horror to me. Rapturous shivers streak to my linger tipsg talon-like nails and cruely slanted eyes issue from the loud speaker. I am fasci- nated-and indiscriminately young. As for the strains of That's Little Orphan Annie, they bore me only slightly. Annie and her contemporaries are as annoying and trifling as mosquitoes. They insult the intelligence of a child. Nevertheless, if I am spread into an easy chair they do not motivate me suiiiciently to warrant rising and changing the station. An inherent fatigue may be responsible for my tolerance towards the golden Pollyannas. Those coyly cunning little household hints! Objections and obsessions here must surely be universal. To follow the suggested concoctions would prove fatalg to listen to the gooey glibness that oozes intimately forth would be like stuffing oneself with soft, cocoanut marshmallow. Decidedly reminiscent of a nail Hle grinding over bared nerve ends, cowboy songs inflict the most excruciating agony on the listener. Wilted Oscar renders Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie, with gutteral snarls and ecstatically quivering tonsils. In a flurry of furious cacophony he hurls his all into the final high nee. The victim, by doctor's orders, goes South to recuperate. But, poor soul, he will never be the same. Ed Wynn, the firechief, the squealer, the squawker, incentive to manslaughter! Yet I suspect that his red face mutilates the boudoir of many a high school lass. Alas, some always prefer their meat raw. Everyone to his own impressions, teacher and student. Whether they coincide is not vitally important if they are clear, well-formed, not promiscuous. There are many programs, many opinions. These five are only one woman's dislikes-still, a woman with brilliant brown eyes. Gladys Gaines. One H und red Twenty-one Om' H und rm' Twenty-Iwo TRANS-CONTINENTAL TALES When New York, with its buildings to the sky, Had faded into nothingness, and I, Accustoming myself to riding thus, Across the country in a monster bus, Had settled all my luggage in a spot Where I could reach it easily, and not Discomfort either others or myself, If I should need a suitcase from the shelf, I sank down in my comfy leather seat, And on the one ahead I placed my feet, My eager glance then roved about the bus To see just who was traveling with us. And I will now at length to you portray My fellow passengers along the way. The first of all our merry company Was but a child, or so she seemed to me, Although her eyes, so young and yet so bold, Desired all the world to think her old. Her age, perhaps, was nineteen, more or lessg Her occupation? Chorus girl, I guess. I-Ier heels were highg her slender finger tips Were crimson blotches, like her tender lips. Mascara made her blond eyelashes jet, She thought herself so worldly-wise, and yet She little knew what lay ahead in life- Of all earthly care and worldly strife. Her clothes were new and of the latest style, ' I saw that e'er the bus had gone a mile. She had beside her bonbon boxes two, And in her hand the latest UBALLY-H0O.,, Her destination? Hollywood, she said, With my looks and figure, I should get ahead! And then she settled back to rosy dreams Of lots of clothes and piles of chocolate creams. As the smoke and mist of Pittsburgh came in sight, And the lights of many buildings pierced the night, The bus's speed began to slacken, and We found ourselves before a station grand. A man came out and climbed into the busg His ticket showed that he would go with us. ' It was a miner in a shabby suit, He carried in his hand a bag of fruit. He took his seat as unobtrusively As if he hoped that none of us would see The patches that adorned the tattered coat Which he kept buttoned up around his throat. His face was gray, the marks of soot and grime Were proof as to the way he spent his time, This human atom from the railing throng So Weak, and yet so physically strong. 'Tis men like him who make the wheels go 'roundg Who keep the lives of others safe and sound. And yet he seemed content, for in his hand ' He held a paper, news from all the land. He traveled west, to Utah, so he said, His only brother, Benjamin, was dead. And now the bus sped onward through the night. What travelers would the morrow bring to light? Evelyn Holcomb. ODE TO AN ARCHER Here's to the archer, and long may he' stand, Showering his arrows on many a land. Nine for the gold, and five for the blue If he accurately shoots, he will be in Who's Who. The target is up and he's out for the day. To those who would ask him I'm sure he would say, From dawn until darkg 'till under the moon I shoot feathered arrows, oh gosh, what a loon! Edward Ashdown.

One H uml red Twenty-six Log of the '36 Annual Cruise HESE pages are torn from the log kept by our ship's scribe, one senman Davy Jones, one of the Jones boys but no relation to Davy Jones of Locker fame. The log recounts the eventful year's cruise of the weather-beaten S. S. Annual, which despite rough seas and treacherous winds steamed into port safely june Sth, 1936. SEPT. 9: 1800 swabs sign up to test the old tub for another year. Excited gobs are all thrilled to sail, while we old tars sigh and wonder why we have to drag along. SEPT. 17: First Mate Busey led a shore party of officers on a picnic. From what I hear, the ants had a Roamin' holiday. Goody! Goody! OCT. 8: Tonight we swung open all cabin doors, laid the gang -plank, and held open house for all visitors. Various exhibits of crafts fnot related to cheesej were on display, and thousands came to look us over. OCT. 10: Today, for some reason, we senior tars were swamped for autographs. They called it tag day, yet nobody was it, The only gob who didn't get my autograph won the prize. OCT. 18: Avast thar! We hove to in jungle land and took aboard some wild ani- mals. Under guidance of Dr. Harwood, who played Tarzan, it was some show. The bloomin' baboon put his hands over his eyes when he saw me. OCT. 19: Some swabs who have turned landlubbers and want to farm put on a live stock show in the gym. One old hen laid an egg in my hat, but I got even, I ate the hen for supper. Nov. 1: We land and have a huge snake dance to put a spell on Port Thornton's team. Everyone optimistic, but I'm from Missouri. 50,13 l Q:-':r.a. ,, , .,. gf- fn. 'Q as X - l I l f y .,-I R Wffrl.

WW ff dt nfffhim One Hundred Twenty-vigbl Nov. 2: Blow me down! It works! Mid- dies put a ton of thorns into Thornton, and we triumph 13-0. Warner Cup stands pat. With all hands on deck we parade through town and make merry all night. Nov. 4: Crew divides into opposing teams and the tournament for the cage champion- ship begins. Huh! I know who should be in a cage--that swab Eberhardt. Nov. 11: World war fought all over again, only more peacefully in the gym. We get new colors from the D. A. R. NOV. 15: We have seven smart gobs on board so we honor them in assembly and Watch their initiation into the National Honor Society. NOV. 19: Quartermaster M'Cann's senior tars mop the deck with Miss Lesher's freshies and cop ship basket tourney for second time. As usual, Swede played foot- ball instead. Nov. 27: We go ashore for Thanksgiving vacation and witness the landing of the Pil- grims in the gym. Londo gives a better bat- tle cry as an Indian chief than as Tarzan of the Grapes. DEC. 10: I couldn't believe my eyes, but those magic tricks were true. Seniors pre- sented Laraunt, master magician, who knew the ropes even better than all our sailors. DEC. 13: Peck Overman tries to crash the girls' athletic party, but he isn't wanted any more than I am: so we go home blaming it on the date-Friday the 13th. . DEC. 17: Of all the sissies! Camera Dykstra shows up with a red paper bow in his hair! Then I learn it's Bow Day and each class displays its own color. I help the Home EC. cause and wear one on my neck. DEC. 19: Sailors drag out their best uni- forms as picture taking for the log-book starts. Bos'n Merker dashes around like an ant on a picnic sandwich, and I think the camera broke when I smiled. JAN. 3: That sloop Thornton came alongside and a real battle ensued. After an heroic effort to catch up with them, we tasted defeat. Score 42-40. JAN. 10: Ol' Jedge Gordon rules today at Penny Social. I have red hair and green eyes so am admitted for two cents. Then, when I get in, I am fined for having them. Aw! It's a racket! JAN. 17: Busey is the shining light as he guides officers to 28-21 victory over Junior cagers in a laugh riot. Matey Briggs suffers a broken proboscis in a collision. QOfficers did not employ an eight man defense this time.J JAN. 24: Trials and tests are over and ship's travels half completed. Second lap starts immediately as 106 new swabs come aboard and we clean decks of 35 old tars. JAN. 31: We cut down the pirate flag, sail into Port Thornton, and bombard the ship 39-17, thus avenging our recent de- feat. This ends five-year rule of Thornton cagers. FEB. 4: We are entertained by a Ken- tucky quartet, who sing Negro spirituals. Miss Braxton, one of the group, had a deep bass voice with a range of three octaves. So has Popeye! FEB. 7: The Woman's Club gives the crew a treat, presenting Sam Risk, the Syrian Yankee who recounts his life. It seems he had more trouble than Martin had in getting through on the five-year plan. FEB. 13: Senior gals bring their mammas to dine in the mess hall tonight. Again not being wanted I go home and leave the chicken to the ladies. FEB. 14: We hold traffic court in gym to show how the guard system works. Swabs get thrown in brig for even running on deck. FEB. 29: The extra day in four years so juniors and seniors have a leap year dance. As usual I leap all over the girls' feet, but it's all in fun so I don't mind. hh'-1' f-I ,,,, wan F-:fi nuts me 0 M. K hapeiul ,2 . i vig? Uanfi. H X39 f rnfavfiml kkjprumsjgr I Y,-.0 9? 2.0, .Q .

News reaches us that we share league basket ball title with two other teams. Congratulations! MAR. 2: Helen Holbrook is elected D. A. R. representative from the ship as outstand- ing girl and enters state contest. If her name is drawn there, she goes to Washing- ton. Maybe she'll be inaugurated? MAR. 16-20: Gals hold an art exhibit which is popular. I volunteer to show my tatooed chest, but they assure me they have enough art. MAR. 20-21: XVe have a bit of entertain- ment in dramatic form. Three One-Act plays meet approval. I really laugh when the stove pipe falls in Sparkin'.,' Fortu- nately there was no fire. MAR. 25-26: Ship springs a leak, so we can't come aboard for two days until the leak is mended. APRIL 1: Blimy! The ship gives a per- formance in the gym to advertise the log- book. Roy Stealey puts on airs and becomes Capt. Bloom, which is enough for me. It is April Fool's Day anyway, so he's 'not to blame. APRIL 3: The boys get together and give an amateur hour in the gym. One mate was left out but he got more applause for not playing than he would had he performed. APRIL 8: We get shore leave for a whole week as Easter approaches. Looks as if the Easter Bunny will have to don snowshoes to get around. APRIL 15: juniors present a marionette show in the gym. These dolls were once at the XVorld's Fair-but so was I. They give a swell performance of Scrooge APRIL 17: Mr. Zimmerman, a diver of no small renown, relates a lot of fish stories to the crew, but these are really true, not such as Blanchard tells. APRIL 24: The females come back at the boys with a program in the gym. When a bunch of girls all start singing and dancing at once, it's time for me to do something, so I applaud. APRIL 25: Looks as though the girls dominate this month. A large group of them sail to Oak Park for a conference. The rest of us hit it up at the Soph Party i-n the mess hall. MAY 8: Another dance! This time the ship's band gets into swing in the mess hall. Popular place, the mess hall. MAY 15: We must be pals even though we're enemies, and to prove it the Thornton crew comes aboard and gives us an idea of how a good program should be presented. The show meets genuine approval and thus Love's Labor is not lost. MAY 15-16: The prize senior event, the class play. Big Hearted Herbert had the audience in so many stitches that our ship doctor couldn't Hnd enough shears to cut them off. MAY 23: The junior Prom-crowning social event of the year. Though my new shoes hurt me terribly, I manage to keep them on because of the importance of the event. MAY 27-28: Officers spring surprise on us, one which nearly sinks me. They an- nounce senior tests on navigation problems butyl manage to struggle through without too many blunders. MAY 29: Time is marching on to the last day, so seniors don their caps and gowns to show them to the crew. Our last will and testament is read. I leave my five year diary to next year's scribe. MAY 30: This is Memorial Day so we all get serious for a change and honor the dead sailors and soldiers. JUNE 5: All out! End of the line! The old tub wheezes into port amid a huge cele- bration. Seniors take a fond farewell when they hold commencement exercises in the gym. YVe suddenly feel a lump in our throats and wish it were only the beginning of our cruise instead of the end. These pages torn bodily from the log of our ship scribe, Davy Jones, who is perfectly sane QPJ and healthy, represent the last year of the cruise on the S. S. Annual. We pass the log-book to 'next year's scribe to be kept with all reverence and glory. Farewell, sail on! Don't give up the ship! lf T 3, l MAY 5 lx-wil' ,Xia Y-if . f sara? Q '1 ff' , D f xi?

Seeing him at a distance, he jumped upon his faithful mare and RIDINGER through the woods up to the place Where the BULL had been, only to find him gone. Sadly turning back, he saw HERR, his bonnie Kate, standing by the APPLEGATE. The thrill of real love PIERCEd his YOUNG heart. ' My father sent me to tell you, she said, blushing prettily, that your father had better watch his cattle or HIELSCI-IER be hungry next winter, cause the Indians are coming! just as this warning rang out with the BELL-like clearness of Il MARTIN'S song, a stalwart Indian grabbed our Kate--but too late--for our hero shot him down. Now DYER I'll do hit agen! He died, and our hero grabbed the trembling Kate. Then and there they swore that their love would be as firm as an ice BERG. With this vow to spur them on, they forgot the BULL and lived happily ever after. Om' Hundred Tbirly-six J, Q Tl W I -95 S g Q M , .-??- 4222522 .
