TEACHER, SPONSOR, AND TRUE FRIEND In the fields of English and art she has qiven years of outstandinq service as a teacher. As sponsor of our class she has proved herself a wise and helpful director of class activities. Her cheerful disposition, unfailinq patience, and willing spirit have endeared her to both students and teachers. It is fitting that to her we dedicate this Book of Friendship. IN THIS BOOK ll.li f-we have chosen friendship as the spirit which best expresses the happiness of our school life. The friendships we have made will play just as im- portant a part in our futures as the subjects we have studied.

Bindley was elected at a special election to fill the va- cancy. The remainder of the board is the same as it was last year. These five men who have been selected by the people of Bloom Township to oversee the Work of the high school and to solve the many problems of finance which are constantly arising, are deserving of much praise for the Way in which they have given of their time and energy in order that the boys and girls of this community may have a better education. In spite of the fact that they are men with positions which demand all of their attention, and they are not paid for their services on the board, they have gladly given to the school any time which was needed. Always working in harmony and with no thought of selfish interests of any kind, they have done what they have felt was best for the school and for the boys and girls. Their unusually fine spirit of cooperation has resulted in a board of education of which this community can be very proud. I I R. ENGELHARDT l 1 E. RICHARDS A BOUK OF FRIEN E. l- FENNEMAN DSHIP H.

What a fine thing it is When genuine, and how disappointing when spurious. But We all have to learn through bitter experience how we may judge the true from the false. Also we learn to appreciate more fully true friendship after we have come into contact with that so-called friendship which is based on what the individual can gain for himself. Then, too, We come to realize that the only way to gain real friends is to be one. As seniors about to leave at the end of your high school days, l hope you have learned to be true friends to others. And l trust that here in high school you have rnade a few real friendships which will bring back to you pleasant memories for the rest of your lives. High school days should be happy' days, and I hope yours have been filled with the richness of association with true friends. RCP ORA M.

To supervise these activities a Senior Board was formed consisting of the four class officers, the class sponsor and representatives from all other advisory groups not having class officers. The Board's duties began with the supervision of various activities which the class undertook. With the help of committees the Board was able to suc- cessfully direct the Senior Mixer on October 165 the Senior Paid Assembly on December 45 the Senior Class Play on February 8 and 9g the Senior Dinner- Dance on May 12: and Commencement on lune 3. The Board system made possible a closer relationship between the Senior activities and the students, since each meeting found the members ready to take back a report. With the nearing of Commencement various committees were formed, con- sisting of seniors who had volunteered their services. Some of the committees were Finance, Class Gift, Class Day, lnvitation, Caps and Gowns, Dinner- Dance, and Baccalaureate. These committees were subject to frequent reports to the Board.

That Girl Patsy deals with Mrs, Warren, a wealthy society woman, who has taken into her home an eighteen-year-old girl from the slums known as Patsy. Patsy is coldly received by lulia, Mrs. Warren's daughter, and her young friends, espe- cially Violet Manners who sees in this youngster a potential rival for the affections of Bob, Iulia's brother. Patsy, however, with her quaint and humorous antics soon wears down the family reserve and endears herself to everyone, particularly to Mr. Bob. The excitement comes in the second and third acts when a plotting criminal attempts to blackmail lulia. His actions are checked, however, by the clever thinking of our heroine which causes her to be misunderstood by the familyeall except Bob who by this time has learned that Patsy is the only one. The climax finds lulia confessing, the family repenting, and Patsy and Bob happy. 'Due to sudden illness Miss Margretta D 't , egiz was called upon to take Betty McGillivray's place. ,V .. . is ti, is 2. eel if .xi fi ' Page 22 SENIOR . i- 1 ft 1 i:1'T'l '-'STEM SENIGR GRADUATES OF 1938 Bill Degits ...... .........

HREE hundred and four seniors, the largest class to ever don caps and gowns at Bloom, are passing through the portals of that institution into a larger and more complicated world of hope and opportunity. These seniors composing the class of '38 leave behind a record of great achievement. As freshmen in 1934 we entered the new Bloom building, establish- ing the record of being the first class to enter and complete four whole years in the new building. Not content with establishing one prece- dent we became the first class to organize as freshmen under the care- ful and efficient leadership of: Audrey Bahlman, presidentp Boy Tan- zer, vice-president: Iosephine Wickwire, secretaryp Mary Lennertz, treasurer. We came through the first year with flying colors. Even with such an outstanding beginning we did not find it difficult to keep up the enviable record. As seniors we find in our graduating class two City of Bloom mayors, lack Gierach and Glenn Pfeil, and two City of Bloom clerks, Mary Lennertz and Mary Rose Formentini. We leave large vacancies in such organizations and activities as the National Honor Society, National Thespians, City of Bloom, Student Affairs Board, Girls' League, Broadcaster, Bloom Annual, athletics, music, and dramatics. With such a record we find ourselves bidding adieu to the school that has taught us to strive for higher ideals and has brought us many happy memories of four short-lived years of preparation for the life into which we are entering. With Friendship our namesake we leave Bloom unwillingly but with new set hopes.

We may truly call this a rather successful year, in which the class has been in the hands of competent and willing officers. At the end of the first semester, the presidency of the class was taken over by Crawford Murton, who succeeded Etlo Gasbarra. The other officers were Iames Powers, Vice-President: Ruth Weishaar, Secretary: and Harmon Spina, Treasurer. The accomplishments of this administration were the Iunior Mixer, Iunior Penny Social, a basketball assembly played by the Iunior boys and the men members of the faculty, and the Iunior-Senior Prom, held at Lincolnshire Coun- try Club. This is the first year that the prom was held outside the school building: this is probably the work for which We can be most thankful to this class. With this record we leave the Iuriior Class in the hands of the future stu- dents, and sincerely hope that they will carry on the work that this year's class did so willingly.

The Sophomore mixer, in the iorm of a St. Patrick's Day party, was one of the major events of the year. At the beginning, there was no money in the treasury. After the party, which was a great success, a large profit was made for the Sophomores of next year. We cannot tail to mention Miss Smith's deep interest in the Sophomore students. Under her supervision, guidance sheets, points on etiquette, and printed material on preparing for one's lite work provided interesting dis- cussions in the home rooms. Already one class has shown promise oi great leaders. In almost every or- ganization, the Sophomore Class is well represented, whether it be in girls' and boys' athletics, dramatics, scholarships, clubs, or other activities of the school.

Vice-President Lorraine Olson . . . ..... Secretary Maxine Holcomb . . . . . .Treasurer I-IBN the new freshman prepares for high school, he is very nervous. After walking for a while, he becomes more calm. All is well until the outline of the school is visible. Then his reactions are like those of a small boy about to take his punishment. When he Walks into the building his first thoughts are to find his locker. This appears to be like finding a needle in a haystack. After much commo- tion he finds it, but what good is a locker if you can't remember the combina- tion? Two minutes are left before the tardy bell rings, but the freshie flashes down the hall like Iesse Owens the second. The result is a sophisticated senior spilled on the floor. After the first period has ended, he hurries to his class, but to his embarrassment he enters the wrong room. Again he starts his treas- ure hunt, but this time he is successful. Such are the incidents in the life of a new freshman, but time marches on, and soon the freshman becomes a stale freshie. From all appearances you would think he had been going to school five years. Instead of being quiet in home-room, he loses his bashfulness, and the room soon becmes a mad- house. The small mouse turns into -a mischievous rat.

Girls League ROM the very first day of registration when the Big Sisters welcomed the new freshmen until the formal installation in May, the Girls League has had an active and successful year. The Freshmen assembly and Freshmen Frolic helped acquaint the newcomers with activities in Bloom. At the annual Christmas program a former president, Miss Miriam Lueclce, presented a reading. The week before the holidays the girls promoted the Chdshnassphh by deamaungtheschooland bnghkxnngthe ennancetothe library with a Christmas tree. The Girls League also aided the Community Center at the Christmas party given for the children. On February l7th the long awaited event of the year took place-the Senior Mother-Daughter Banquet. Everyone had a very enjoyable time and old friendships were renewed. For the fifth time the Girls League provided a fine new picture for the school through the annual art exhibit held during the week of March 14-18. On April 23 activities reached a climax when Bloom acted as hostess to twenty-three other schools of the annual South Suburban Girls Conference. The Girls League was proud to bring this event to Bloom. On May 24 with an impressive ceremony the installation of the new offi- cers brought to a close the activities of the Girls League for l937-l938.

These guards have the some authority as do the regular hall guards. They are stationed at definite posts in the halls and number about five to a floor. Each floor is supervised by a lieutenant, who is responsible to the Traffic Commissioner, Vernon Stelter. He in turn works with sponsors, who this year are Mr. Harrison and Mr. Bull, faculty members in charge of Public Improvements on the Student Affairs Board. The duty of the traffic guard is to direct traffic in the halls between class periods, to try to modify the noise made in the halls between periods, and to attempt to make the students observe the rules of courtesy. To any stu- dent violating these rules a guard check is given, and he is dealt with by Mr. Dyer, according to the misdemeanor. The traffic system has proved a great help to both teachers and students in passing through the halls between class periods. The sole aim of the system is to uphold the standards of law, order and courtesy at Bloom.

S in the past fourteen years, the hall guards again assisted in maintain- ing the necessary silence and order in the labyrinth of Blooms corridors while classes were in session. Such is the purpose of the organization of hall guards. Any citizen of Bloom, who maintains a C average, is eligible to assist in carrying out this indispensible service. A student passing through the halls while classes are in session and pre- senting a pass properly signed by a faculty member is permitted to go on his way. Without such a pass the hall guard gives the offender a guard check which requires him to report to the office. Here the delinquency is dealt with according to the misdemeanor. During the first semester 140 guards were on duty, but in the second semes- ter the service was rendered by only 90. Under the new arrangement, which was enforced during the past year, nine lieutenants exercised supervision over the system during the different periods of the day, reporting any irregularities to the Chief of Police. The work of the hall guards is carried on in a quiet manner, but it means a great deal to the faculty and students. We gratefully acknowledge the kind services of Mr. Harrison and Mr. Bull, to whom much credit for the success of this system is due. We also con- gratulate our guards upon their efficient services rendered during the past year.

Ushers HE work of this department of the City of Bloom 1 divided into two dis tinct types. These are, namely, holding fire drills at convenient intervals and assisting in the seating and keeping order in the assembly. The usher system is composed of thirty-one ushers under the student super vision of Fire Marshall, Edward Ashdown, and faculty adviser, Mr. Bull. The ushers are stationed at particular posts in the assembly, reporting there early to assist in the rapid seating and keeping order there. The usher systerr functions at all regular assemblies as well as pay assemblies, and assemblies produced by other organizations. The other function of the usher system, that of holding fire drills, is a very important one. lt is required by state fire laws. At Bloom we have a unique method for facilitating the matter of fire drills. For this purpose we have cre- ated a body of special firemen. These firemen are stationed at various parts of the building during fire drills. After every student has left the build- ing they converge at a pre-determined spot and report to the proper authori- ties. ln this way we know in case of an actual fire, that everyone is out ot the building or if it is merely a fire drill, we know when we can have the students return to the building. ln these ways the usher system renders service to the students of Bloom.

SURVEY of the intriguing and colorful panorama of world events has pre- sented a challenge to some thirty young Americans who have been con- lerned with international relations at Bloom this year. The I. R. C. has served o stimulate interest in world affairs and has afforded opportunities for dis- :ussion of present-day diplomatic problems. With history so dramatically in the making, the many perplexing problems Jetween nations has provided a great variety of subjects during the current fear. Lively forums, conducted by various members of the club, were held in such topics as: America's Stake in World Peace, The Six Points of Hitler's Speech, A Study of the United States and Latin America, The Belgium Peace Ionference, Iapanese Aggression in the Far East, and the Foreign Policy of he United States. Two guest speakers, both of whom had traveled in Europe last summer, rppeared before the club. Miss I-lielscher presented some instructive notes an her visit in Germany. At a special meeting of the l. R. C., lack Gordon, aastepresident, gave a vivid account of his travels in Central and Western iurope. With such programs to lend zest to the radio and press announcements of naps being changed overnight, and of flags being torn down to be replaced ny others, it is evident that some of the more active members may take their :laces eventually as economists and statesmen directing our foreign affairs. l .X BOOK OF FRIENDSHIP International Relations Clu I Page 67 National Honor Society AST spring the new members were inducted into the Bloom chapter o the National Honor Society at the Honor Assembly.

The Bloom Staff HE Bloom is a book of many purposes. lt is a record of the big events of the school year, it is the story of the achievements of our students, it is a symbol of the friendships we have made and the pleasant memories of high school days. Early in November members of the faculty chose candidates who possessed high scholastic and journalistic ability, for the coveted positions of co-editors and business managers. Members of the senior class elected their favorites. The big job of editing was given to our co-editors, Peg Cornet and Audrey Bahlman. Earl Swanson and Frank Brunner were chosen for the responsible positions of business managers. These capable people worked under the supervision of Miss House, faculty adviser of the Bloom. Frances Puckett was selected to be our literary editor. The field of sports was delegated to Glenn Pfeil, who handled the boys' sports section, and Edna Patton, who had charge of the girls' athletics. lames Cooney was given charge of the advertising section of the annual and was responsible tor securing the majority of the ads. Paul Swope was put in charge of publicity. Bernice Peter- sen was typist. Thelma Miler and Vincent Eddy furnished the Bloom with its cartoons. layne Cummings, Clara Smith, and Dora Olivieri also assisted the staff. Clubs and organizations contributed their own write-ups. Mr. Alders, Mr. Carlseen and Mr. Lare had charge of photography. Edward Ashdown is responsible for many of the amusing candid camera shots.

One of the first activities to be undertaken was the setting up of objectives for a real year of work and the entering of competi- tion for the Star Chapter of the United States Award. Iames Pallo, Claude Rietveld, Leonard Kloss, Grahme Pensinger, Iohn Swets, Everett lung, Earl Rudin, Ted Kontos, Neal Bakker, and Peter Ketelaar were initiated as Green Hands, and Ivan Rietveld, Kenneth Eib, Grover Themer, Arden Pensinger, Geno Gambarota, Russell Nelson, and Roy lung were raised to the degree of Future Farmers. We were very lucky in having one State Farmer, Arthur Cohrs, who remained in school and carried out the duties of president very efficiently during the year. lack Clausen, who had been out of school for a year, returned and was elected vice-president, thus giving our organization very efficient and business-like officers. The activities of the year were opened with a picnic trip to Starved Rock State Park. Soon after this the local boys competed in State Iudging Contests and Ivan Rietveld won the honor of State Champion Poultry Iudge in the 4-H contest. Evening meetings were held on alternate Mondays throughout the year. Opening and closing ceremonies were observed at all meetings and all were conducted according to Roberts' Rules of Order. One new activity which has created much interest both among the stu- dents and faculty at Bloom is the F. F. A. Iournal. This paper is written and edited by the members and carries the news of the chapter. At the Sectional Iudging Contest, all of Bloom's teams qualified for the State contest to be held at the University of Illinois in Iune. Basketball and kittenball teams were sponsored by the chapter and many games were played with opposing teams. One of the greatest years in the history of the organization has been com- pleted and a fine foundation has been laid for a successful future.

True, the same so-called routine went on through busy days: the same early and late hours were observed: the same atmosphere of study was encouraged. Then too, new books were pur- chased and added to the shelves: a new family of library girls was trained through the lecture hours and the hour of daily practice work, and many new students were introduced to the world of books. Best of all were the friend- dnpsrnade Who can number the associations fostered by the pleasant atmosphere of peace and quiet- working together? How many friendships sprang up co- operating in a panel assignment or running down a recommended reference? The Library Club is rooted in friendship. The thirty-two girls who served you so willingly found mutual interests as they shared the desk work, dis- cussed problems in the lecture hour, or performed some special task such as going arty for Open House or dusting and shining for the Girls' Conference. And the happy hours in the office, spent in study or in comparing notes of the dayl Our final spree for the year is as yet a grand secret, but it will be memorable. In their library work each Bloom student may touch human nature, may read books and men and practice what they read.

N l929, the nucleus of the Audubon Club was formed. lt was the result of enthusiasm on the part of the Zoology classes for bird study Ioe Davis, a careful observer of birds, who was interested in bird banding was the first president. lt was through his leadership that this first year of the club's existence was a success. The second year's work was resumed under the leadership of Walter Fuller and Merrill Sweet, both of whom were in terested observers of bird life. A club carnival, a trip to Brookfield Zoo, and a trip to the flower show con stituted the major activities of the club this past year. The carnival sponsored by the Audubon Club, was the first of its kind to be staged at Bloom The cooperation of clubs to raise money to help defray their various expenses proved to be a success. At the bi-monthly meetings, reports were given on bird migration bird feed ing stations, songs of different birds and various other phases of bird life This was usually followed by a group discussion. The society is a member of the National Association to which dues are paid, and in return the members receive a pin and six leaflets ln addition the club is affiliated with the Illinois lunior Academy of Science Miss Haviland has led the club since its origin in l929 to the large and successful organization of l938. Under her leadership the club has had a most profitable year.

Mr. Puckett was asked to be the sponsor, and soon the organization was under way. George Zilligen was elected President, Herbert Friedlander, Vice-President, and Genevieve Sova, Secretary. The members drew names for their oppo- nents, and a tournament was begun to determine the leading players. Sev- eral letters were received from other schools challenging the Bloom team, but the club had been organized too recently to participate in any matches. The club has chosen as its meeting place the band room, and on Y club days there you may see busy heads bent over a long row of tables, and all is quiet except an occasional Check! or Give me a king. Competition is keen, and a fine system of scoring has been worked out. Each member starts with a hundred points. For every game won, three points are added to the scoreg tor every game lost three points are subtracted. The rating ot the members is kept on a wooden score board, on which are listed the names of the players on little pegs. The pegs are moved up or down according to the pIayer's standing, Both boys and girls are invited to join the club, and also those that wish to learn either chess or checkers. Those who know the games give instruction to the novice. We may have some future champions in our midst, and the better the players, the better our chances for beating Thornton in the next match!

She may be at some resort, on a train or bus, or in her home. ltisthe hnmhed productthatinspnesthe gnl ako. She B proud ofthe fact that she knit her dress or sweater. For these reasons quite a number of girls joined the club this year. The officers elected this year were :Greta Widen, President: Edythe Leisure, Vice-President: Nina Lamparelli, Treasurer: and Geraldine Hack, Secretary, The club was under the sponsorship of Miss Hodgen, who founded it three years ago. Following the election of officers, the girls started a simple project, a hots pad, to help them become thoroughly acquainted with the art of knitting. There were some very attractive hot-pads made. These surely ought to lighten the fair Bloomite's task of helping Mother. Some of these pads were given to the mothers as a Christmas gift. The next project was more difficult, yet it was extremely more interesting and absorbing than the first. lt was knitting a two-piece dress. Each girl was allowed to use any pattern that she liked. When work on this big project was finally started, the clicking of needles became a steady hum. The girls also increased their speed and could knit Without watching their work. This prevented eye-strain and the work from becoming tedious. The girls could anoy Iooknmg at mmnednng ebe and be knnhng atthe sanuetnne. They found that knitting was a very useful and enjoyable art. The Knitting Club with the Typing Club and Miss Hodgen's advisory group enjoyed a bring your own lunch picnic at Goodenow woods, May l6. 'I' II Ii It I.

The club meets every Monday, giving the members one hour every week to work on their respective projects. The greatest project undertaken was the installation ot the Public Address system in Bloom. Mr. Sears and the club members spent many long hours installing this. The Public Address installation was an out-ot-the-club project. In the club, the members built crystal sets, one tube and two tube receivers. Many mem- bers bring their own home sets and repair them, assisted by Mr. Sears. Every club member must have some knowledge ot the International Code. This code is used in all radio telegraph worlc. When not actually building or re- building sets, the nrembers draw plans for any size radio desired. The Amateur's Handbook, which is the members' guide in drawing plans, is used every rnimrte ot club time. The members are very proud ot their one girl member, Margaret Schnable. Margaret has been in the club since it was or- ganized. She has built and rebuilt so many crystal sets that the members are willing to bet she can construct them with her eyes closed, using only the sense ot touch.

These were of Latin origin, and each member had to consult a diction- ary to learn what his name meant. After this initiation the activities of the year were soon under way. Each meeting has proved to be an interesting and instructive experience. The ob- jecive always has been to show how the Roman civilization has influenced our lives. This was pointed out through plays such as A Day Without Latin, and through the talks and reports given by various members. All the meetings, however, were not taken up with serious matters. Often the members found great enjoyment in playing the games of the Roman children, in untangling the mysteries of the Latin charades, and in raising their voices to the melodious strains of Sancta NOX or other Latin songs. One of the high spots of the year was the Christmas meeting, at which our Christmas was compared with the Roman Saturnalia, and with the celebra- tions held in other European countries. Gifts were exchanged, and the bell rang! At another of the meetings Miss Norman showed slides of scenes in the Swiss Alps, the Rhone Valley, and England, places which are all closely connected with the campaigns of Iulius Caesar. The climax of the club activities was the trip to Chicago to witness Orson Welles' production of Shakespeares lulius Caesar. With an enticing pre- view by Mrs. North, the members were well prepared to enjoy the play to the utmost. That day will long be remembered by all those who participated.

One of the first school activities in which the club participates is the Thanks- giving Day program. This year Miss Cerner wrote and helped direct the skit, which was acted out by the members of the club. The play compared conditions in Europe with conditions in the United States. The comparisons made us all thankful that we are Americans. The second activity was the Christmas pageantf Why the Chimes Bang. Following the play the club had a brief respite while Mrs. North directed the Senior Class play. Then the members plunged into the biggest assignment of all the Three One-Act Plays. Every person in the club had some Work to do, either in the cast or on a committee. By the time the school year is over, a number of Thespians will have emerged from the Dramatics Club. Membership in the Thespians is the aim of all students who are really interested in the art of acting or producing plays. The Dramatics Club gives much valuable work along this line, and there is an opening for every student with ability and interest.

Cooperation and enthusiasm on the part of its members and conductors have made the Bloom orchestra what it is today. During the past year the orchestra was well represented at contests and on other occasions. ln the tall, several members attended the Illinois All- State High School Orchestra held at Urbana, Ill. Marion Seidel occupied the concertmaster's chair. This is the first time a girl has ever had this honor. The public performances include five regular concerts, Three One-Act Plays, Senior Class play, Assembly program, and Commencement exercises. In addition to this, there are many requests to play at other special occasions. ln April, the orchestra participated in the District Contest held at Glenn Ellyn. lt competed against five other orchestras in the Class A division. Here the orchestra and several ot its members distinguished themselves in the various sections. Five soloists and the sextette were given lst place. Two of B1oom's outstanding musicians, George Gass and Eleanor Cosenza, played in the National Orchestra which met in St. Louis and played for the National Music Educators' Conference. Eleanor Cosenza played lst bass. The director, Mr. Schee, is a newcomer at Bloom. Under his capable leader- ship the orchestra has made rapid progress during the past year. The reper- toire of the past year included the works of Weber, Wagner, Godard, Brahns and Glinka. The orchestra has carried on its high reputation in the musical World. Its unlimited participation in various events has made the orchestra an out- standing organization at Bloom. ' ' LOOK OF FRIENDSHIP Page 89 KD. ff on 5- ,Q .Q O cn bl s: 4: U 2 o 111.

The band played at all the home football games. When the basketball season opened, the band members took their places on the stage in the Bloom gym. At the District Tournament they provided musical entertainment which brought greater zest to the games. In the fall the band members had a tag day for the purpose ot buying addi- tional uniforms for the growing band. They netted enough money to buy twenty more uniforms. Three very successful band dances were given. The band played two concerts at the Washington School Auditorium February 14, and March 28. Mr. Paul Yoder, famous composer and director, was the guest conductor at the second concert. On May 6th, a popular concert of many of the latest song hits was given before the student body. This year the officers of the band were: Edward Skowronski, President: la c k W e s t , Vice-President, Irma Stahl, Secretary: and Vernagene Wickstrom, Student Director. Walter Lueder Wilma Maurer A BOOK OF FRIENDSHIP Page 91 IXED Chorus is a comparatively new organization at Bloom. its advent was received enthusiastically by many students who tried out for it. The chosen boys and girls met once a week but also had extra practices before public appearances. They worked for harmony and perfection of tone. Like the Glee Club, this musical organization also contained special talent among its members. These students sang for amateur theatricals, over the radio, and in contests throughout the year. The Mixed Chorus brought its songs to students at several of the assembly programs. They learned those popular old Negro spirituals, Go Down Moses, and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, as well as many beautiful arrange- ments by Christianson. These songs were Well received by the student audience. The diligence of the Mixed Chorus also helped to make the spring concert, with Porter Heaps, a success. Altogether, this group, under the capable lead- ership of Mr. Kickert, had a very successful year.

THE BLOOM OF 19538 1- ll- . - Page 92 FRIENDSHIP A T H L E T I C S BLOOM'S COACHING PERSONNEL K 'Ft if M'Cann Nelson Sq,-ff UCI-I of Bloom's athletic success both on and off the field, rests upon the shoulders of the men who make up Bloom's own Sports Triumvirate. These three men-Mr. Nelson, Mr. M'Cann, and Mr. Sartf have long guided the athletic destinies of Bloom and not once during their tenure as coaches here have these men failed to impress upon the minds of their players the real definition of athletics, not the victory at any cost side of the game, but the far more important aspect of the game, that of character and sportsmanship. The arrangement of the schedules for all athletic engagements falls under the direction of a man who has compiled an enviable record here at Bloom, E. R. Nelson. Besides his work as athletic manager, Mr. Nelson also coaches the track and lightweight football teams. Mr. Nelson's excellent work in running off the state basketball tournament here at Bloom can be matched only by his leadership in the South Suburban League organization. The fate or success of varsity football and basketball lies in the hands of a man who is serving his thirteenth year at the helm of Bloom's major sports, Coach Cecil Sarff. Mr. Sarff has never yet failed to place a direct emphasis on the playing of a game for the benefits derived from it and not merely for the sake of winning it. His warm attitude and spirit have gained him many ties of friendship, ties that are bound closer with time. Credited with being one of the smartest prep basketball and base ball mentors in the state, Coach Hadwin M'Cann has yet to come up with a losing team. During his twelve years here, his teams have always exhibited a well-timed and flashy attack that has constantly brought praise from all sources. Mr. M'Cann instills in his boys a keen desire to win and if his instructions are followed closely, defeat will seldom down his squad.

U Blue Island . 39 Calumet City I4 Thornton U Pullman Tech A o 0 Bloom Bloom Bloom Bloom Bloom Bloom Bloom Bloom Bloom 'I' tl If Page 96 Better Than Record Book Indicates IME and time again, the members of the '37 football squad, their Weary bodies aching from carrying the brunt of a vicious gridiron attack, hauled themselves from the field into the locker room and with grim determination announced, We'll get 'em next time, gang. Unfortunately, that next time never came until the final fracas of the year, yet in every one of the games that preceded their victory, the Sarffmenewin, lose, or drawfgave more than a creditable perform- ance. At the close of the season Coach Sarff gave this eleven a tribute that was never before paid to another team under his tutelage. Coach Sarff calls his '37 squad the finest bunch of sportsmen and the most spir- ited group of fellows he has ever worked with. The past grid troupe learned the hard Way and that alone is worth more than all the victories they might have garnered. When Coach Sarff called the initial football work-out of the year, an unusually green squad of some seventy boys reported for grid duty. Included in this large group were five returning Iettermen, of whom three were starters on the previous year's team. Naturally, with graduation playing such an important part in the '37 outlook, Mr. Sarff did not expect too much from this willing but inexperienced squad. The nucleus of the starting ensemble was formed around the holdovers from the previous season, George I-lecht, lim Cooney, Ed Zarlengo, Gabriel Persianni, and Bud Powers. After the squad was rushed through the early training ty r 1 - V .5 if fl' tl .tl if l' l SE i r- channels and the boys were nearing the peak of con- dition, Mr. Sarff with the aid of competent assistants began to work on a definite starting eleven. During the course of the season's campaign there were a few minor changes, but, on the whole, the same bunch of gridders that started the season's activi- ties also finished. The wing positions were shared by three men: Setpel and Persianni, juniors, were helped out by senior Babe Paulsen. The tackle posts were taken care of by rough and ready Ierry Simone and big Bud Powers. Iack Miller also saw a good deal of action here. Ed Zarlengo plugged up one guard berth capably while the other guard position was held by one of the three tackles or a likely looking reserve. During the season's run the center position was shared by Monk Meyers and Alphonse Pellino. The back- field quartette was composed of Sears, quarter-back: Hendron and Cooney, halfbacks: and Hecht, fullback. All of the backs turned in some stellar performances with unusual consistency throughout the grid carn- paiqn. In the season's premiere the Sarffmen met another team whose main trouble was inexperience, and at the end of the game Bloom found themselves tied 6 to 6 with Ioliet. Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink, might well have been the theme of Bloom's home opener as they met a much heavier East Aurora ma- chine and went down in defeat, 12 to 0. The visitors, due to their weight, found the sloshy going a bit more to their liking than Bloom and as a result piled up a win in a game that was anything but football. Bloom was blest with wonderful weather for the third encounter of the year as a record crowd of some four thousand fans iammed the stands to witness a power- ful Chicago League championship eleven, Fenger, severely trounce Bloom to the tune of Z6 to 6. Matt Lux, ace guard, broke his shoulder in the third period, an injury that kept him on the side-lines for the remainder of the season. Meeting a huge Kankakee eleven whom they out- played rather easily in the first league encounter of the year, the small Bloom gridders nevertheless fell by the wayside and lost 13 to O. The victors ripped our line to shreds but we countered by some fancy backfield work. On their home grounds once more, the Sarffmen lost a tough ball game to the speedy Mooseheart grid I I Personahtles Di Peso Pellino Powers Cooney Zarlengo Paulsen Wtngo Herrmann Tintari Hecht A BOOK OF FRI ENDSHIP Page 97 1.

Bloom's forward wall functioned in great fashion during the contest, but took advantage of Bloom's weak offense and shot up a strong aerial circus. F' Bloom's hopes of hitting the comeback trail were partly realized in the sec- ond league encounter as they played host to Blue lslancl. The local gridders' deficiency in the touchdown department let a much inferior Hill City eleven hold them to a U to U stalemate. Q The local troupe, determined to win, journeyed to Calumet City and met one of the greatest prep football teams in the entire state, Thornton Fractional. Bloom fought stubbornly against the high-powered hosts, but Thornton Frac- tional, led by the celebrated Champ Pawlowski and the mammoth Ed Dahlkamp, was just too tough, as the 39 to 7 score indicates. Hecht scored all of the Bloom points. The big game of the year finally arrived and with more glamour and thrills than ever before. A rousing three day Homecoming Festival was held for the first time in the history of Bloom, and a record league crowd turned out to watch a Bloom team, that had met nothing but hard luck, battle a strong and flashy Thornton ensemble. Bloom fought on even terms with their heated rivals, but the Harvey lads capitalized better when the breaks came around and piled up a 14 to O triumph. ferry Simone and Captain Iim Cooney turned in great performances in their curtain call with lack Lipe's eleven. Improving with each game, the Sarffmen gave everything that they had in an effort to bag the season finale, that with Pullman Tech, and when the gun barked for the last time they found themselves on the heavy end of a 6 to U count. Cooney scored the touchdown in the last period, receiving a lat- era-l from Sears on a very smooth play. The game marked the last football encounter under the colors of Bloom for eight seniors.

Lightweight Football Squad Proves Capable RGANIZED for the purpose of giving the smaller boys and under- classmen a chance to perform on the grid field, the lightweight football team has once more completed a successful season under the tutelage of Coaches Nelson and Anderberg.

This year the deserving boys on , the lightweight grid team were given letters for their performances on the gridiron for the first time in the history of the school. Since the lightweights provide the heavyweights with promising material, the experience gained on these lesser squads is invaluable: many of the stars on this year's heavyweight team were once mem- bers of Coach Nelson's team. The Nelsonites exhibited a great running attack in the Blue Island encounter and ran up a 25 to O score. They followed this game with another slashing triumph, beating the Lemont lightweights, 19 to O. ln the third fracas of the year the lights were held to a O to O dead- lock by a much inferior Argo ensemble. Another strong running attack featured the Bloom-Morgan Park M. A. clash, which the local team won 13 to 0. Calumet City was the only team to hand the Nelsonites a defeat. Although outplayed, the state-line squad ran up a 6 to U victory.

Heavyweight Basketball Team PLAYER'S SCORE CARD Exhibits Thrilling Action OACH SARFES l937-38 court ensemble gives great promise of being one of the most potent basketball aggregations ever to represent the Blue and White on the shiny hardwood. Every member of the first string and four members of the second team during the past basketball campaign will return for action next year. That fact alone is the outstanding virtue of this year's cage troupe. Although they won only twelve games and lost nine this season, the Sarftrnen should blaze across the basketball horizon with great rapidity next year. At the first practice of the year, Coach Sartf found among a large group of boys many squad men from the previous year, but only three returning lettermen: one of these lettermen could be counted upon for only half a year, being a mid-year graduate. Thus, with new men in every position, Coach Sarii presented a cage team that boasted a formidable ar- ray of power. The heavies were small and speedy, and the abolition of the center-jump gave them a defi- nite advantage, since it afforded them an excellent chance to work their snappy fast-break. The heavies finished third in the South Suburban Loop, behind Kan- kakee and Thornton and in both of their tourney en- Player Points Robinson . . ..... 166 SearsfCl 92 Dantico . . . . . . 69 DiTella... ...45 Hendron . . . . . . 4l Maloni . . . . . . 37 Ranieri . . . . . . l4 Shambo 13 Delsner . . . . 9 Hecht . . . . . . 8 Swope .... . 6 Luzi ..... . . . 2 Weeks .... . . . 2 Nelson .... . . . 2 Total . . ....... 506 Games Games Won Lost 5 ........

During the Christmas Court Data holidays they entered the St. Anne Invitational Tour- nament, and after beating Watseka they were drubbed by a Bradley quintet in the semi-final round. The Sarff- men repeated their performance in the later State- Tournament. They whipped Argo in the opening round and then fell before the highly touted Flying Purple of Thornton in the semi-final bracket. With an experienced eye to the future, Sarff moulded his court machine around ten fellows. On the starting team he placed Dantico at center, Robinson and Hend- ron at forwards, and Sears and DiTella at guards. On the other quintet he placed Shambo at the center post, Delsner and Swope at the forward positions, and Ra- neiri and Maloni at guard berths. Supporting this group were many boys who will eventually take over varsity positions. The highlights of the season were numerous: the cagers got their biggest thrill on the night they trimmed the championship Kankakee quintet, 25 to 12. They almost repeated their work a bit later when they jour- neyed downstate to meet the same team, but this time the Kays managed to squeeze through on a two point margin. The work of the flashy LeRoy Robinson was heartening throughout the entire season. In the first engagement against University High LeRoy marked up nineteen counters, a season's record. The heavies struck their bitterest note when they were defeated by Thornton in the Regional tourney. It was the third con- secutive defeat dealt them by the Harvey lads. In the season opener the local five beat Parker who later went on to win the Chicago Prep championship. The rough and ready Calumet City quintet fell twice before Bloom during the season. The work of lack Hendron and Captain Franny Sears was impressive in both of the conflicts. Earl DiTella was the only newcomer to Bloom basketball and along with Ioe Dantico he con- sistently tumed in a steady game. The heavies furnished the fanfare a good deal of thrills constantly throughout the basketball campaign, and iudging from their ability in the spring practice sessions it looks as if they are going to give the fans even more to cheer about next year. and Dope 121 Di Tella Hendron Delsner Swope Shambo Dantico Robinscn Sears .

Lightweight Cage Troupe CAGE SCORING TABLE Chalks Up Enviable Record XHIBITING a varied and swift-moving attack, the larruping lightweight cagers, under the able guidance of Coach Hadwin M'Cann, steamed through a particularly tough sea- sonal grind in great fashion. The Mackmen closed their court campaign with fifteen triumphs and five defeats and not once during the hectic season did they show signs of Wearying in the stretch. Coach M'Cann was forced to build an entirely new quintet to take over Where the previous year's champion- ship team left oft. Forming the majority of his attack around the shoulders of the two returning minor lettermen, George Sipple and Bob Gaffney, Coach M'Cann soon moulded a pre- cision-like basketball five that was well-schooled in every phase of the game. Although there were no returning lettermen, M'Cann was blest with capable men knee-deep in every position. He had developed these boys in previous years to a point where they were now able to take care of a first string position. ln addi- tion to the returning squadmen there were two new full-fledged basketball players on hand at the first call of the year. One of these was Deno Fiacco, ball-handler deluxe, who trans- ferred from the heavyweight ranks because of his size and the other was Augie Svancarek, a newcomer to Bloom. Dividing his squad into two teams that saw about the same amount of action, lVI'Cann had a well-rounded and capable cage squad. The starting five was made up of Gaffney and Fiacco, forwardsy Grupp, center, Sipple and Capacasca, guards.

With the exceptionof the games in which M'Cann was able to substitute freely, these boys did most of the court duty. Deno Fiaccco led the team in scoring but he quit school before the Mackmen entered the Blue Island Invitational Tourney. In his place Coach M'Cann placed a small but potent freshman, Billy Seibert. Many of the cage stars were picked on various all-season teams for their bril- liant play throughout the year. Captain Sipple and Fiacco were honored on every mythical quintet. There were many high-spots for the fans as well as for the lights during the past run. Only two teams were able to cope with the Mackian ensemble and it was those two teams that eventually dropped the local five out of the South Suburban League race. Thornton's superior height and ruggedness ena- bled them to whip Bloom twice while Kankakee's brilliance on their home floor was enough to down the lights. Calumet City also trimmed the Mackmen, but that was after they were out of the title-running and Coach M'Cann was giving his underclassmen a chance to perform. The grade of material found in the South Suburban speaks for itself when one glances at the record compiled by the lights in their non-league games. The Mackmen won nine contests and lost but one. That lone defeat came in the quarter-final round of the tourna- ment and was dealt by a much bigger and heavier Hinsdale five in the last seconds of play. Those nine victories are ample proof of the local lads' ability to work as one complete cage machine. lt is hard to tell just how many cagers will return for action next year because of the ten-points qualification rule. How- ever, Mandelco and Svancarek are definitely out. Both of the boys played in Blue and White togs for the last time, since they graduate in Iune. Charlie Grupp, ace pivot man, has alreadv grown too big for the lights and his presence will be found on the heavyweight team next winter. Outside of these three fellows, the remainder of the squad will return once more next year, in all probability. Coach M'Cann's proteges have that much-needed experience under their belts now and already they are gunning to better this year's outstanding record.

The unusual spring weather brought with it the largest number of boys ever to report for trackp out of these eighty-five fellows, Coach Nelson and Coach Anderberg found enough likely-looking new boys to cope with the holdovers from the previous year, and as a result, a creditable track team with a great deal of strength has been moulded. Even at the early date of this writing the Nelsonites have come through exceptionally well on the cinder path. They made their sea- son's debut on the local track on April 23, in a meet with their league foes, Blue Island. In this dual clash the seniors set a new scoring record for suburban high schools by walloping the Islanders, lll to 2. Bloom's younger brethren, the juniors, followed suit with a 73 to 22 rornping. ln this meet alone several of the outstanding thinclads gar- nered enough points to earn themselves a letter. The tracksters met a bit more than their equal, however, in the sec- ond clash of the year when they dueled with one of Illinois' prize prep track aggregations, University High. The fast-stepping foes took the senior section with a count of 78 to 58 and the junior division, 71 to TRACK TEAM Front Row.

THE BLOOM OF 1938 Page 104 Salmen Herrmann Di Peso Sears Meidell Scheiwe Wingo Spina Hamilton Sanders 44. However, the Bloom boys looked brilliant, even in defeat. The out- standing feature of the dual meet was not the winning of another track encounter by the undefeated U. High squad. joe Wingo, Bloom senior, took that honor away from the entire U. High squad when he ran the grinding 440 yard run in the smashing, record-breaking time of 53 seconds flat. Thus, with one victory and one defeat to their credit, the Blue and White Cinder stars face five more meets at the time this book goes to press. If early indications mean anything, Bloom should pace through every one of those remaining meets in an auspicious manner. Inex- perience has yielded to enthusiasm, and the boys are all set to dig in their spikes and flash their heels in an effort to bag win after win. The burden of the track team rests mainly on the shoulders of the fourteen returning lettermen: ten of whom are seniors. These senior lettermen and their respective events are: Dashes, Bob Meidell, jimmy Saunders, and Ioe Wingog Field events, Franny Sears, Harmon Spina, Herbert Scheiwe, Don Herrmann, Alan Hamilton, Chuck DiPeso, and Bud Powers. Added to the above selected group are the boys who are new this year, but who are just as potent. These boys are john james, LeRoy Robinson, Ioe Spinozzi, Chuck Klein, August Van Horn, and George Ray. In the junior section Don Klyseck is the only active returning letter- man. He is ably assisted by Eberly and Van Deti in the dashes and hurdles: by Bunger, Horn, Tintari, Mernitz, Simone, Kagen and Sweeney in the field events. If the track squad develops as it promises to, it is very likely that some of the present members will shatter the records that they them- selves established last year. If that is the case, then Bud Scheiwe's discus mark will fall along with the joint high jump record that Bob Meidell, Harmon Spina, and Franny Sears hold. Up and Over!

Skill and Prowess HE king-pin of all sports, Americas national pastime, baseball, was ushered in by the 1938 Mackian diamond ensemble in an auspicious manner as they chalked up a very impressive win over a powerful Oak Park nine. To show that the victory in the season's opener was not one resulting from luck, the Mackmen have gone out at the date of this writing and won two more ball games. They outslugged the strong East Chicago outfit for one win and they outsmarted the classy La Grange team for their other triumph. Some played by the local nine and if they continue diamond that they have already shown, it is Mackmen will once more put the finis-touch tically good baseball year. ten games remain to be to flash the skill on the very probable that the to another characteris- Six lettermen greeted Coach McCann at the first practice session in early April and out of this large group, numbering some seventy-odd aspirants, he picked a few of the more promising boys to fill the three remaining positions. This task was much harder than it may seem, for one of those vacant berths to be filled was that of the most important prep spot, pitching. ln previous years Coach McCann was always blest with a great mound staff and from all early indications it looked as if the worm had finally turned. However, Mr. McCann, in his accus- tomed keen baseball manner, met the situation bravely and by open- ing game time the Bloom nine featured a formidable array of pitching talent. The starting lineup is rather definite as the boys prepare for their THE BLOOM OF 1938 Page 106 fourth battle of the year. Bloom's baseball mentor has a veteran infield working for him. Every one of the four boys is a holdover from the previous year's squad. Sonny Kristie takes over the first base spot, Earl Di Tella works at second, Allen Perkins is tops at the shortstop position, and Tony lanis rounds out the infield at the hot corner berth. In the outer-garden the flashy LeRoy Robinson is capably aided by three fellows: Edward Czyz, George Banks, and Leroy Devine. The battery corps is composed of lack Hendron, catcher, and Vern Hecht, Guido Markianni, and Melvin Meyers, pitchers. The portly Hecht received credit for the first two wins and Markianni hurled the most recent encounter. As in previous years, the Mackmen have carded another tough base- ball schedule. An intense rivalry relation was once more resumed with the strong Washington nine of East Chicago and with the power- ful La Grange team. The Mackmen have already met these teams in the first of their home-to-home series and for the first time since they have been playing each other have they been able to down both teams decisively. The measure was 9 to 7 in the Washington clash and 6 to l in the La Grange fracas. The Blue and White nine won the season opener, 3 to l. All in all, the baseball team gives every indication of being one of the best ever to represent Bloom. With the exception of one or two men the entire team will be returning next year and it looks as if Coach M'Cann has once more smartly tutored another team that has potential as well as present power. r .

G. A. A. HEN a girl participates in a volleyball, basketball, badminton tourna- ment, or attends a play day, she scarcely ever thinks of the work and plans back of the well-organized activity. The varied and extensive duties of the G. A. A. Board were efficiently carried out by this year's officers and the one representative from each of the tour classes, under the tutelage of Miss Veazey. The 1937-'38 officers were: President, Pearl Iahnsp Vice-President, Lucille Zydlewskip Secretary- Treasurer, Vernagene Wickstromp senior representative for the first semester, Valerie Maystrovichy for the second semester, Ellen Lindhouty junior delegate, Irma Stahl: sophomore representative, Eileen Ellis: freshmen delegate, Anita Cioe. The freshmen girls were welcomed at a mixer in the girl's gym, and all the girls were invited to a Hallowe'en party, given by the G. A. A. in collab- oration with the Girls League. The two gymnasiums were the scene of much activity on November 22, when the Bloom G. A. A. played hostess to sport-minded delegates from various other schools in this vicinity. Bloom sent representatives to a play day at East Aurora, and one at Momence. Tournaments in volleyball, basket- ball, badminton, ping pong and archery make the play day a long remem- bered event in the life of every attendant. These play days give the girls an opportunity to meet girls from neighboring high schools, and at the same time give them the privilege of participating in their favorite sports. The G. A. A. promotes sportsmanship and co-operation in physical and mental recreation. 2 A BOOK OF FRIENDSHIP Page lll Girls' Intramural VOLLEYBALL 1TH the coming of fall and the opening of school, girls who are physically able and mentally alert turn their attention to volley- ball games in gym class and volleyball tournaments after school. Any night after school between September and lanuary, any one passing the gym was aware that a volleyball game was being played when they heard the noise of running feet across the gym floor, and the sound of the batting of the ball over the net. Because it is not as strenuous as basketball and yet requires skill, Volleyball is probably the most universally popular of girls' sports at Bloom. The girls have unanimously agreed that cooperation is the keynote in a successful game of volleyball. The regular class tournament was divided into red and white divi- sions. Since so many girls wished to enter the tournament, it was necessary to have two teams for each class, differentiated by color. Miss Veazey chose the players for each team, taking into considera- tion their faithfulness in reporting for practice as well as their skill in playing the game. All teams in each division played each other. Edith Reynolds led her junior squad to victory, and Ellen Lindhout's senior team was defeated by a close margin. Beginning freshmen participated in a special intra-class tourney. There were six teams, and each team played against each other fresh- men team. The squad captained by lean Kuraj was the champion of the freshmen class. Other freshmen captains were Bonnie Bigelow, Katharine Gorrell, Ethel Merker, Peggy Shoenberger and Lorraine Vidal. Volleyball was revived in 1926 when it was too late to play tennis and too early for basketball. The game created great interest, and volleyball is now holding its own as a favorite girls' sport at Bloom.

First division senior teams were aptained by Florence lulien and Bernadine Hinckley, juniors, dith Reynolds, sophomores, Rosemary Olivieri and Margaret ushy freshmen B, loyce Braun. The captains oi the second ivision were: sophomore, Lolita Fetherling, Theresa Colliniy reshmen, Pearl Tack, Venturina Geogria, Pearl Voytina and rene Tatara. lrene Tatara's squad won out in the second divi- ion tournament. Florence Iulien led her team to victory in the irst division consolation tournament. The annual state basketball shooting contest is always Fagerly anticipated, and many hours are spent practicing shots trom the various designated spots on the floor. High scorers were Irma Stahl, with eight successful shots out of ten attempts, -Anita Cioe, eight out ol eleven: Lucille Zydlewski, eight out ot Eleven: Bernadine Hinckley, eight out ot twelve, and Susie .ristach, eight out oi twelve. The girls' skill in basketball playing was a source ot enter- iainment to the entire student body when the seniors engaged ihe juniors in a fascinating game during a regular Friday fnorning assembly. The juniors donned blue gym suits, and :he seniors wore navy blue and white outfits. Proceeds of the 'ame were divided between the G. A. A. and the Girls' League: llen Lindhout, Lucille Zydlewski, Edith Reynolds and lrmfr tahl were the most outstanding players on their respective eams. As a further incentive for enthusiastic participation, each girl who did not miss any of the weekly basketball practices was awarded a ribbon. With the coming of the tirst signs of spring, enthusiasm ,Naned, and King Basketball was dethroned by Archery, Bad- ninton, and Baseball.

When the boys are turning their attention to track and baseball, the girls are just beginning the badminton sea- son. Any girl in school who so desires may enter the tournament. Because of the large number of participants, as soon as a girl loses one game, she is necessarily eliminated from further competition. Badminton, a cross between volleyball and tennis, is a comparatively new game at Bloom, since it was introduced here only in l935. Badminton Archery ARCHERY FTER the archery season was officially opened, the entrance to the girls' gym was invariably crowded with enthusiastic sport lovers who were eagerly scanning the archery poster for new names. The large attractive poster has a permanent place on the girls' gym bulletin board, it is divided into five parts, corresponding to five classes in archery. When a girl shoots the required number of points to make a class, she not only has her name re- corded on the poster, but she also receives a felt arrowhead corresponding in color to her class. Frances Puckett is the only gold class archer in Bloom. Naomi Wilson has attained the red class. Rosemary Sheehan, Minnie Zogrofos, Lois Shufro, Lois Stefan, Goldie Colignon, Lucille and Helen Schwoefferman, Audrey Bahlman, Valerie Maystrovich, layne Cummings, Peg Cornet, Mary lane Hinckley, and Margaret Schnable have shot 200 points, which qualifies them for the blue division.

His smiling face a picture makes Of happiness, though his feet ache From tramping all the weary way: Still cheerful is his bright, Good dayl As someone else's child she wheels The pretty nursemaid tums and steals A glance at her ideal, the cop, Who saunters up and makes a stop With her to pass the time of day. Her smile is bright: her laugh is gay. And even baby laughs and crows As Mike and Molly's friendship grows A business man strides briskly by' With wrinkled brow, determined eye. And why this unaccustomed haste,- A triple chin and doubled waist? He's risen from a groaning board, The doctor's scale has surely soared: The little hand went up and up. This man's resolved no more to sup On cake and pies and too rich wine: No more will he forget to dine According to the diet chart, Although 'twill nearly break his heart. The bum slept on a bench all night Safe from the watchful cop's keen sight. And now begins his daily job Begging nickels from the mob. He scratches his unshaven chin, Thinks it's time that work begin. He halts the Babbitt on his way And is rewarded,- Not todayl A dowager of stately mien Leads a dog, hard to be seen So infinitesimal is he: Light of her life he seems to be.

DISSECTING A QUARTERBACK'S BRAIN All was tensely quiet in the immaculate operating room save the sibilant sound of the patient's unconscious breathing and the surgeon's terse com- mands-- Scalpell-Spongel-Saw! As the sharp little instrument cut cleanly into the skull, the assisting doctors and nurses peered eagerly at the exposed brain. 'l'he great mystery was about to be solved. What would they find in a quarterback's brain? Visions of sloppy football fields, referees clad in white, footballs, cheering crowds, steamy showers? As they looked, they saw these things come to light plus many others: im- 'presstons of signals, a myriad of numbers rushing pell-mell through the queer pictures coaches draw using crosses and dotted lines. Not only things pertaining to football were there: in another lobe was ex- pressed a mild concern for school work, an unwritten theme, a coming his- tory test. But even these gave way to a pleasing, even entrancing picture- soft lights, sweet music, pretty girls waltzing around and around-ah hah! the last Band Dance! Another amusement supplanted the latter: a movie, a very enjoyable movie in which gay sophisticates performed impossibly ridiculous feats, in which men never worked feveryone had wealthy relativesl, in which all the women were glittering creatures of faultless beauty. The other half of the double feature was even more enjoyable to our quarter back, for it dealt with football. The hero of the picture, kept out of the game because of an improper attitude, suddenly proved his worth and was sent in during the last quarter. Leaping high in the air, he caught a pass destined for an op- posing player, dashed madly through a mass of menacing figures down the field for eighty-five yards to a touchdown and victory. That was the life for our quarter back: he would be even more spectacular. Various and sundry other occupations flitted through the brain as the sur- geon probed deeper-writing notes to his best girl, hanging out at the drug- store with the boys, arguments with the teachers, detention hall-all these and unlimited others made up the quarter back's brain. At last the examination was over. With a few deft movements, the inci- sion was closed, the bandage wrapped in place, and the boy placed in bed, none the worse for his experience. The world of science, however, owes him a great debt: for without him we might never know just what goes on in a quarterback's brain. -Ruth Wehlan. NATURE'S GIFT TO ME III I When going for my final grade I was told to pick a flower A bad one I foresaw, And draw its every party But this was quite beyond my power For I knew not where to start. ll So when I see a tender flower I struggled with it quite a spell And made a fatal Quess, And called the flower a golden bell And laid tt down to rest. With all my might and main I prayed A decent one to draw. IV, Upon a day in May, I think not of its beauty But of the grade it brought my way. -Harriet Hollingsed. A BooK OF FRIENDSHIP' Page 121 ON WRITING NOTES By Margie McLaughlin Why is it that I have an inherent Weakness for writing notes? Comes a moment to spare during the day, I proceed with my pen and paper to com- pose'a note-a note usually very meaningless and nonsensical. Or, I re- member a sweet morsel of gossip which I know would interest my dearest friend and so I am again inspired to pen a note. Sometimes, it is neither time nor gossip which causes a note to materialize. One day I felt very philosophical and I Wrote what I thought to be a most creditable effusion, I hastily tucked it into my book when the bell rang and immediately forgot it. Two weeks later I found it-to my inward disgust and outward amusement. Had I Written this piece of stupidity? I couldn't believe it, but there it was in black and white glaring at me accusingly. I destroyed the epistle and since then have had much more regard for my erudite mo- ments. I shall never forget the mournful note I wrote to my pal soon after an un- happy love affair. Upon receiving it, she evidently realized then what a prize it was, for she filed it away and brought it to light only the other day. I thought I would die of shame and embarrassment when I read it. The in- tensity and sadness were incomprehensible to me--7 how could I have been so brokenhearted over that particular boy? I had not realized that I pos- sessed so many doleful adjectives in my vocabulary as were in this pathetic note. Of course I destroyed it. Another factor which promotes note-writing is the close friendship which exists between my chum and me. We become shockingly candid with each other upon occasion. And usually we write down the criticisms we have to make, and slip them to each other most unobtrusively. When notes such as this are started they usually last through a whole period and sometimes a whole day. It is a very convenient way to criticize. If time permits, we write pages of notes carrying on deep discussions of our fellow classmen. This type of note-writing is not an uncommon one around Bloom. One more thought comes to my mind. If you ever feel the urge to write a note-go ahead, write ity then reread it. Ten to one, you will destroy it. Since starting this practice, I find that I destroy an alarming number of my tshall I saYl journalistic endeavors. CONSOLATION TO A LOVER He may not be a beauty, But as I've often said, You do not smile on beauty When there's nothing in his head. POOR LITTLE FLY Poor little fly upon the ceiling, I wonder what must be your state of feeling, To walk upside down-not even reeling And see man fall on a banana peeling. -Harriet Hollingshed 7' N: THE BLOOM OF 1938 i1-I1 n n1n 1-11 - li Page 122 I v 5 I . V5 all .9ivffk R.f1 - , 4 ON RECEIVING NOTES BY IAYNE CUMMINGS Why are the members of our so called dignified faculty so prejudiced against the unceasing flow of notes? Can it be that they are not interested in our welfare of obtaining much needed knowledge or can it be that they are just a little bit weary of the common occurrence of note tossing? I my- self can't entertain their point of view, for I am one of the fortunates, or should I say unfortunates, who is on the receiving end of a number of these divert- ing yet instructive bits of clever journalism. ' My ingenious informant, I can see, is taking her pen in hand, is grabbing the closest bit of paper, and now she is writing fast and furiously as a gale of gossip sweeps across the page. I wonder anxiously what bit of choice news I am to hear this time. Is it some cheerful news for her most attentive listener, or has fate frowned upon her and is she anxious to release her venom? After a quick ibut none too carefull glance about the room, the note is sent flying to my hands and I feel as if I were catching a carrier pigeon that bears news of my possible execution. I sigh and secretly wish she hadn't sent the note. Curiosity urges me: so I nervously open it and am greatly amazed to find I am being used as the definite topic for criticism. In fact, all the rest of the day I feel as conspicuous as an eighteenth century hairdress. My charm- ingly frank friend has very tactfully told me what she thinks of me. After I had read the note several times leach time more amused than beforel I pro- ceeded to answer it. What to say?-After several short moments of ponder- ing and shuffling of ideas in my brain, I composed a retort. I told my chum just what I thought of her, and I enjoyed it as much as she must have done in writing her criticism. Now-would she take this answer as I intended she should, with only the best of feelings? Well I would soon find out. Her glance, acompanied by a very starchy look, struck me like a blow. Evidently she didn't think I had it in me. As she read it, I presume she realized that the receiver of such notes had the same freedom of speech and press that she possessed. Well-several such notes Cintermingled with notes of joy, sorrow, and bits of foolishnessl ensued and up to the present time my friend and I have had no end of fun: and perhaps, I have taken heed of some of her friendly reproofs in those forbidden notes. THE SNOB'S LESSON I-Iu1lo, said the puppy to the grown-up dog one day. Mongrel, said the dog as he snobbishly went his way. The puppy hung his head, wagged his tail no more in glee.

What mighty thunders roared and rocked The peaks in storm clouds all arrayed, While lightning rode the storm to earth And laughed aloud at men afraid! What winds with rain clouds did conspire And here pour down their leaden load: What furies made the streams run wild And flow in torrents down this road! The force that wrought such havoc here Is gone: but still I cannot see The range of mountains at my side, For damp, White clouds envelop me. And all is still except the sound Of water, running from the heights. I breathe pure air, and I can guess The splendor of the hidden sights. But as I watch the clouds drift by, Revealing mountains, one by one, And I in shadow see, above, Their snow crowns, shining in the sun. I have a glimpse of paradise. Who could have dreamed such glories lay Beyond the cloudsl Who knew of those Gaunt rocks of blue and red and gray! A hundred Waterfalls in blue Dart down like comets from the peaks. Their clouds of spray beside them float, Like windblown veils, in silver streaks. I feel the fingers of the fog Steal softly 'round me as I stand. The light is gone, and I'm alone With banks of clouds on every hand. Frances Puckett 38 THE BLOOM Page 124 in i OF 1938 Wg!

A A A TRIP TO THE MOON Upon embarking on my tour of the country of the Moon, I at once perceived that here was a wealth of material for the exploring visitor. Although the inhabitants were similar in appearance to those of my land, there was a noticeable difference in mode of living and daily customs. Conditions were quite contrary to the happy, peaceful state of affairs I was accustomed to. Attention seemed to be centered upon the government. There were, ap- parently, two groups milling about in confusion. The minority was disorgan- ized, vainly groping about for a leader. It was having difficulty in formulat- ing its aims and in finding something definite to build upon. The other group was also in a dilemma, but was determined to exercise absolute control over the people, resorting, in many instances, to sleight-of-hand tricks. It was obvious that this latter group had a great number of plans and panaceas for the ills of the populace. One dealt with the over-abundance of food stuff and provided for getting rid of thousands of porcupines, the pride of the country folk. Quite a furore was being made about too much land planted in flax. In all sections of the country I witnessed huge bonfires of flax, yet in my opinion many of the villagers were poorly clad, and some numbers of them were begging for food. For some unknown reason the wheels of industry were idle, and one-twelfth of the population unemployed. Still they were miraculously provided for. There was a surprising indifference on the part of most people as to what became of the tribute they paid, but these projects furnished a means for the group to popularize its ruler, the Man in the Moon. I-Ie was advancing many schemes to enlarge his power. I was told, however, that some co-workers who had helped to get him in control were disagreeing with some of his policies. In spite of these intricate provisions there was much concern about finance. On every side the citizens were perturbed as to how and when govern- mental income and expenditure could be made to balance on the scales. Various experienced jugglers presented theories for accomplishing this feat, but the outlook was gloomy. The minority group was fearful lest the Man in the Moon, with his many remedies, should break precedent and attempt to take control of the Palace de Lune for another cycle. From all indications, the family of this Man in the Moon was more promi- nent and influential than any of the preceding families had been. The First Lady of the Moon kept in close contact with the inhabitants by publishing tracts on rearing children and ridding the country of slums, and giving other motherly advice. Still another phase of legislation attracted my attention in particular. I had difficulty in comprehending a singular plan for looking after the welfare of the inhabitants when they should become gray-headed. Each person wore his identification number on an arm band. Perplexingly enough, the benefits of this generous act were denied three important groups: tillers of the soil, servants in the domicile, and pedagogues. I have many times found myself reflecting on these things I saw and heard. The apathy of the people, who seemed evasive and unconcerned about future generations, aroused my curiosity. It was all very complicated and unwieldy. -lean Ellen Fenneman. BOOK OF FRIENDSHIP . Page 125 1 A 'Z 00 11 11, -sw Il CALENDEB Sept 8-Today a new bunch of freshmen entered Bloom.
