Hasemeyer 4 A RETROSPECT, A PROSPECT, AND A SINCERE WISH To the Members of the Graduating Class of 1957: There was time when there was a deep-seated prejudice against the status of the so-called. educated person, for through three hundred years of literature the pedagogue was held up to scorn by the satirist, He was pictured as a man who belonged to the hump blest social class, an uncouth figure equipped with a sort of false scholarship, the butt of all the bright pupils--a sort or proverbial bookworm. Shakespeare, Sir Walter Scott, Goldsmith, Irving, and Dickens, each in turn made him the subject of his raillery and the victim of his mockery, Then came a better day, when the educated person began to be looked upon as a leader, and from that time to the present he has held a somewhat enviable po- sition Sh his community. He represented a better social class than thep 'old time schoolmasterng his salary permitted him, and his cultivated taste led him to dress in the same fashion as the recognized leaders of the time. His associates shared his place in the public regardg the teachers in the grades became leaders in the womenis clubs, in the literary organizations, and in the civic federations in the community. The educated man actually won the recognition that should have been accorded to him long, long be- fore, The first half of the above paragraph presents a rather dark picture, but the remainder of the paragraph indicates hope and progress. Even the darkest works of art are illuminated here and there with light refractional rays. Members of the Graduating Class of 1957, for the past twelve years, you have spent much o your time travelling along the educational highway, and now your progress is marked by a well-earned and well-merited reminder of the distance that you have gone--a High School Diploma, There is no return trip for you over this part of the educational highway, but boundless opportunities lie ahead of you, if you make the most of your opportunities. Doubtless you recall how the lions were chained in Bunyan's Pi1grim's Progressg how the traveller felt when he approached them when they appeared to be unchainedg and also how harmless and tied the lions were when they were actually reached by those who possessed the courage to venture onward past their lair. This, though somewhat allegorical, maintains verisimilitude. As we go through life, Ufierce, unchained lionsn at times seem to make their appearance, but for those who have the proper fore- thought, initiative, preparation, and courage, many are the times that the lions are found to be chained and harmless when they are actually reached, True, 'lions have appeared in the pathwayn C' every member of this Graduating Class of 1957, at one stage '1 progress or another, both in the grades and in high school, b'l when these so-called lions were met face-to-face, they were 'chained,n for the pupils apparently passed by unharmed, or they 'would not have earned credits enough to merit a High School Di- ploma on June 7, 1957. It is noble, indeed, to attempt to learn what one is ex- pected to learn, in grades one to twelve. There is no e prise higher than that of unfolding the secrets of nature, beginning with the nature study in the grades and culminating with the scl- ence work farther ong through geography, to open up our kinship and interdependence with the whole wide world of men and thingsg through mathematics and the allied studies, to give those, forms of intellectual skill that shall enable the worker to win his daily bread and his place among thinking meng in pictorial art, to open up a whole enchanted world of form and colorg through history, to make the learner's life touch, in some degree, the lives of all those who have made their contribution and have left the stage of actiong through literature, to bring him into sym- pathy with the ideals that have everywhere stirred men to noble actlonsg and so on almost ad infinitum, but for those who have advanced to the station where high school diplomas are granted, it seems needless to prolong the list, Members of the Graduating Class of 1957, we know fairly well where you were twelve years ago, and the part you were playing in the great game of life, but now we are all pondering over 'lhe great and unanswerable question, unanswerable at the present to say the least, Wwhere will you be twelve years from now?n There is a bright ray of hope! You have been successful in the past or you would have failed to attain to the height that you have at this Commencement in 1957, and we have every reason to feel that you will all continue to meet with the same measures of what we consider SUCCESS in life, 'hen you leave the Bradley High School on June 7, 1957, you will leave with our sincere hope that Udame fortunen will smile favorably upon you at every turn in your active lives, and that you will, in time, rise to heights unthought of at the present ime, and be able to hold a high and noble place among the men and women of affairs, In the Great United States of America, the highest position is open to all who are willing to pay the price of competence, but we know that not all who are willing to pay the price of competence can hope to attain to the highest heights regardless of the nature of the enterprise. It is comforting, however, to know that there are many good and honorable positions 'below the top,' and nif we give the best that is in usn at all times, nothing more can be expected of use Class of 1957--'FAREWELL' and UBEST WISHES.'

The class was well-represented in sports with Hubert, Anderson, Pechauer, Casino, and Damler forming the lightweight squad and Ponickvar breaking in on the heavyweight lineup very often. As the year passed the class was finally get- ting used to the customs of Bradley High School, and on June 3rd three boys were awarded letters in scholarship for the excellent work and the grades achieved. These boys were Welker, Hasemeyer, and Vickery ' In 1934 Bradley was to have football for the first time in eight years. At the end of the season six Sophomores came out of the battle unharmed to secure major letters. The proud Sophomores were Stefanich, Hubert, Anderson, Ponickvar, Pechauer, and Damler. Our class was really proud of these boys. However, not to be sa- tisfied with football awards, Casino, Pechauer, Anderson,Ponickvar and Damler received major letters in basketball with Hubert,Gillen and Werner showing up on the minor letters for their work on the lightweight team. The Sophomore year seemed to be the record year for Hasemeyer Vickery, Welker, Larkins, Pechauer, Werner,andIEqes received scholarship letters for com endable work during the year. 1955. The Junior gear seemed to be the big year of our short career in Bradley High chool. The football season turned out as the year before with no wins, due to the fact of our lack of ex- perience. But the boys fought hard and received their due reward with Hubert, Casino, Pechauer, Stefanich, and Werner on the reed - ing end. Basketball was the main feature of the year, as Bradley turned out another district championship team. Five of'the Junors held regular positions on'the winning club. Ponickvar, Gillen, Pfchauer, Casino, Anderson 'and Hubert were the boys to receive rrjor letters in basketball, with Hasemeyer and Werner showing up on the minor letters. We Juniors really worked hard to makeihe athletic banquet a success. At this event the boys received their basketball and football awards. Many notable players and 'coaches of Purdue University were secured by our coach and sponsor, John Beck, to give us advice on later life. After resting up a few weeks, we were on our toes again getting ready for our Junior-Sen- ior banquet. Due to the cooperation of the members, the banquet was a great success. This event was the final event of our Junior year in Bradley High School. Scholastic standards were lowered and only two boys received letters: Hasemeyer and Vickery. Seniors at first few weeks heels in school standing set in' last! That was the mumble around the class the of this year, but finally all of us were head over activities. This year we have turned out the best football with five wins, two losses, and one tie.Hw semeyer, Hubert, Anderson, Casino, Pechauer, Stefanich, Ponickvar, and Welker were the men rewarded with major letters in football. Basketball was another pace-setting year, as we were runner-up in the Regional Tournament and were defeated in the Sectional by the state champions, Joliet High School. Five Seniors were given' cre- dit for their work in basketball: 'Casino, Hubert, Anderson, Pe- chauer, and Hasemeyer. As Mr, Cook, our new coach, liked track very much, it was adopted by our high school. Everybody was very green 'in the 'new sport, but showed possibilities. Casino, Pe- chauer, Welker, and Vickery showed enough talent to receive major awards. Scholarship letters this year were given to Hasemeyer, Vickery and Gillen. On May 29th the Seniors attended the ' Junior- Senior banquet and we thank the Juniors for their kindness,and hope they will fill our shoes next year. Out of sixty-two Freshmen only twenty-three stood the battle of books and,teachers, and on June7th receive their diplomas. Our only hope is that we could have had a few more of our classmates remain with us. However, oftentimes muh cumstances cannot be helped, and we, the Seniors of 1957, give all the lower classes a challenge to make a record as good, OP'UfEPtNM1 our own, which is shown by this brief history. 'Q-QiA-SnS- -jM-l:QJQ- I have the pleasure to appear before you for the purpose of presenting the Will of the Senior Glass of 1937 of the Bradley High School. At the time I was assigned the task of preparing a Ghss Will it seemed to me that there was little or nothing in the possessbn of our Class which would be worth while to offter to anyone. It is true that we do not have in our possession any'gold or silver, We have no precious stones, no government bonds, no mortgages. There are, nevertheless, some items of high sentimental value which on this occasion we wpuldflike to designate that they go to certain people who have had something to do with our publc school affairs, With this in mind we have adopted the following as our last Will and Testament. KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, and to all whom these preb sents may concern, be it known that We, the Senior Class of 1957, of the Bradley High School in the City of Bradley and the State of Illinois, being of ieund and disposing mind and realizing that this is the last meeting of our Class, do make and declare this our last Will and Testament. That part of our interests which would be recognized in law being inconsiderable and of no account, we make no disposition of in our will. e To the Bradley High School we give our praise,our thanks and undying loyalty throughout the years to come, a large portion of the credit for whatever our achievements may be in the life ahead of us. To the Board of Education and the people of the com unity we give thanks for all the work you have put into the making of a good public school, for all the money you have provided for the building, grounds and equipment we have had the benefit of using, for the selection of men and women of fine character and teaching ability to direct us in our high school studies. To the Superintendent, we leave our regrets for the many mistakes and failures we have made. U To the Juniors we leave admonition against becoming overcor- fident in the school work which you have yet ahead of you. To you vlvc we leave vacant seats in Senior classrooms which it now be- : your privilege and responsibility to fill, We leave the ' that as the next graduating class of our school you will oc- cupy these seats with honor to yourselves and with credit to the school and with due appreciation of the efforts of teachers, the interest shown by the community in providing this school for us, To the underclassmen, the Sophomores and Fresh en, we leave a feeling of sympathy for we know you will get none from those in the class ahead of you, we leave a promise that your day will come and your day will be great in accordance with how well you do your work leading up to it. To our parents we leave the pleasant memory of many happy sc1-ol days we have had here, made happier by their interest and assistance in what we have been doing, We leave thanks to you for enriching our lives by providing a good high school where we have been taught the history of the American people, the develope ment of our great nation, the possibilities of the future for us, and a basic education upon which to build our lives. As we look back over our four years of high school it seems that always in the foreground are the impressions we have gained of great Americans who have gone on ahead of us. Those great characters at one time stood at the same period in life as we are now. Perhaps as they graduated from their respective Hgh schools there was no way to make the ones who were destined to become great or famous.. Likewise there may be members of our own Senior Class of 1957 who in their time will become world renowned. Great or small in the eyes of the world we all leave behind us sometmng It may be noble metals, precious stones, land, or governmentbuwa It may be a life of useful service to mankind, Whatever these things are which we leave behind, they are of importance to some- one, It is our hope that these items of sentimental value, which we leave for you, will be received well and in the spirit in whch we have given them. In closing, it seems opportune that I read for you two ver- ses of a favorite poem by the great American poet, Henry Wadsmrth Longfellow: nTell me not in mournful numbers Life is but an empty dream. For the soul is dead that slumbers And things are not what they seem. . Lives of great men all remind us' We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of timean' 'SENIOR CONVENTION OF 195O' 1 TelegremI shouted the messenger boy, Louis Stefanich. Jlllpv ing up, I hurriedly tore open the telegram. So Robert Hase eyer was giving a convention for the class of '57. Good old Bobby! That would be fun! Just in time, I caught the train for Chicago. It jerked sud- denly and I landed in the lap of Marjorie Badger! Was I embarrassed to ask her how her husband, Art Anderson, was? But excusing my- self, I hurried on. Pausing to buy a paper from'Earl Greenstreet,I saw Mae Dauphin and the town mayor,Walter Gillen, also on their way to the convention. There was much excitement aboard for Margaret Janssen had just announced her engagement and all were enjoying the celebration. The lucky fellow was Donald Welker, world renowned for his invention of a new type of fertilizer, I The conductor, Pred Wcrner,seemed to behaving difficuliytry- ing to get the ticket away from Leo Pechauer, who insisted the ti- cket was his--he'd paid for it. Just then Leo's eye caught sight of Lib Larkins and Dorothy Martin and he submitted the ticket and rushed over to greet his classmates of long ago. Descending from the train, we were welco ed by Donald Welker's village band. Then a rattly old village hack drew up to take us to our hetel and out hopped none other than Robert Vickeryl The pageboy, Melvin Vickers, announced that the convention was to begin in 15 minutes. People started.moving toward a huge ae- sembly hall, ' The convention began with the singing of The Bradlegm High School so g, played by organist Veronica Toliuszis and acc panied by Eugene Hayes on the mouth harp. The realistic tw1ttcringof'b1rds was given by Robert Vickery. At the rapping of Chairman Robert Hasemeyerls gavel, the crowd quieted down and were greeted by Beaucie Hubert. The invocation was given by Reverend Carl Casino. A speech of welcome was 'given in French by Henrietta Legris, in Latin by Earl Greenstreet, and in English by Walter Gillen. The cheering of the latter's speech woke Melvin Vickers, who had dozed off to sleep. 'Elizabeth Larkins, known as 'Lib, the Mind Reader and Philcre- pher, answered questions concerning affairs of the heart, home, and business. Mae Dauphin and Fred.Werner seemed the most agitated over their problems. i Evelyn Friendt designer, and Veronica To1iusz1a,Beaucle Hubert , n n 223 29'21e.'iS2?1n2e 221.

The evening dance was a grand affair. It was planned by Libby Larkins, Dorothy Martin, uae Dauphin, Mildred Nickell, Marian Batch, an Evelyn Friendt. .

Those whose prominence merited special attention were Melvin Vickers, a noted pencil makerg Louis Stefanich,very fame ous circus ownerg and Art Anderson, a cough drop magnate. Artis ri- val competitor was the noted Miss Henrietta Legris, whose pink pills have made hor famous. Suddenly there was a hush and Leo Pechouer announced a surprise and it certainly was: Beaucie Hubert, arrayed in a satin formal,enp tered the spotlight and sang Wuammyn as it had never been sung bdbrlg It IRB a wonderful evening of entertain ent and reminiscing. The music was furnished by Donald Welkerls nLBd8u, the soloist for said orchestra being Reber Vickery. - The next morningfs edition of UThe Daily Blastn stated 'All are said to have enjoyed the convention immensely.

It has indeed been an honor and a privilege to be the associates and comrades of the Seniors, and we wish them as much success as can be had hereafter. We're not capable of making flowery and lengthy speeches and it's hard to put into words exactly what we do mean, but we are sure that the Seniors are quite capable of understanding the few simple words that tell them we regret very much the loss of those companionships, but are happy for them that four wonderful years have been passed within these walls and also, that we, as Sophomores, respect to the utmost those who.are about to advance just one step farther along the pathway of life.

At the first meetings the girls seemed to be very elated over the fact that such a large attendance was at the meetings, but hopes were shattered after a couple practices. The group that finished the year out should have a great deal of credit bestowed upon them for commendable efforts they have shown. Although a small chorus, all the parts blend in perfect harmony. The girls of the Glee Cub are very friendly and agree- able, and try to make their singing a happy pastime. Ewery month the Glee Club held a party. .A short businesses- sion was held and was followed by games. Prizes were awarded for the various games and refreshments were served. 94 0------ -:--'----'--' l 'r , Q5 . 590113719 km wh QV, , IV , 6 Qi I t I Q 'WW ' ix uf 1 OP 1937 I -fLfLf1JQ4B-ALlLjl- Bradley E-Sh School had its most successful season of foot- ball this year, due to the cooperation of the players and our coach, Jimmy Cook. When the season opened, 28 boys reported for practice. As the going get tough, a few boys turned in their equip ent, and at the end o the season there were only 22 players left. After three weeks of hard practice and the learning of plays, Bradley took a trip on september 15 to Gilman, and a hgppy group of play- ers returned home, because of their first victory in three years. They defeated Gilman 52 to O. September 25 was one day when the players came home without much to say, because Watsekafs large and well-groomed team beat them 19 to O. saturday, the 5rd of October dawned a bright and sunshiny day, so the boys in red went out and beat Momence 15 to O for their second victory of the season. There came another tough day for the Boilermakers, how- ever. After riding 105 miles to Westville, the boys didn't feel much like playing footballg so they took their second and last defeat of the season 25 to O. On October 16 the team went to Mr. Ccokls home town, Herscher, to show the boys there that he could coach good football, and Bradley beat Herscher 15 to O. On Octo- ber 24, after a tough evening with st. Patis of Kankakee, Bradley csme home with its fourth victory of the season 15 to 7. on a rain-drenched field on october 51, Bradley could do no more than come to a draw with Milford 6 to 6. November 10th saw Bradleyls red wave sweep Kankakeels Ponies aside for the fifth win of the season 14 to O. on December 12th the School Board had a banquet for the football team at Mcsroomvs guest room. A seven-course dinner ms served. speeches were made by the President of the School Board, Mr. E, Bade, and by Coach Jimmy Cook. Co-captains Leo Pechauer and Arthur Marlaire also gave speeches and several members of the team were called upon to speak a few words. After the banquet the boys enjoyed a good show, and then home to bed so they couldg plenty of rest for a tough basketball season.

He served a great deal with his seventy-one inches ofheight, which helped the team out considerably. 40 -jLjLj jLjQ- Due to the fact that Coach Jimmy Cook could not schedule more than one or two games of baseball, he decided on track as the spring sport, After talking to the fellows, they all agreed that it was a fine idea, and ,the first, practice was called. To the ooachfs surprise, there 2 ' ' fout than he had egaxpeetsa. The fact that hardly any of the boys knew what a track field looked like and how the field events were run off tended to make them listen with great interest as the coach explained the impor- tant facts relative to track. The first few nights many of the boys had a hard time of it. After a few hours of hard practice some of the boys became so tired they could hardly move. However, as they continued to come out and become accustomed to the work- outs, they learned to like it very much. Due to the weather con- ditions, the boys were lrnited to only a few nights of practice, Bradleyls first track meet was at Herscher on April 16, TGBMB entered in' this meet were Cullom, Cabery, Herscher, and Bradley, Although the Bradley boys were not experienced as were the boys from the other schools, they made plenty of competition for the opposing teams. Bradleyls next meet was against Joliet and Kankakeeg To Bradley this was more of a warmfup because weather conditions had kept them in all week. Even though the boys knew they had but a slim chance to win they went out there with their china up. on April 501:11 Bradley drove to Moments. As the boys came out to warm up, they were greeted by a shower of rain that continued all the afternoong an attempt was made to run off the events between showers, but the boys found themselves drenched to the skin.

Exercises usually opened each class and then basketball was played, which game the girls enjoyed very much. The girls from the four classes in the high school chal- lenged each other to games. Sometimes the Sophomores were the victors and then again it would be the Freshmen or the Judnrs or the geniorse But no matter who came out on the winning end, the girls never gave up. The management and organization of each of these teams was handled by a captain, who was chosen by the members in each class. Toward the last of the school year soccer was introduced and this game was met with a great deal of enthusiasm and en- joyment.' As the game demanded movement every minute of it, it was found to be a good reducing agent and what girl is there who isn't interested in that? Favorable weather in May found the Physical Education Class meeting out-of-doors on the school grounds and enjoying the sport of indoor. 'Although the Physical Education Class met' but once each week, it was a period of enjoyment, relaxation, and apprecia- tion for the simple games and sports which can make leisure hours more worthwhile, 1 I lx is n 1,ffxQfQkEm f,,5J: 1, W a 'iff' xvyf X --.. 3' -,,,,i,Y, -lb, e . , Iii- . .E:+.-, A Y , , ,..,.. ...--- ' -T l l--...e.:'1..L..
