I -n S� - NINETEEN THE SPECTATOR 19 30 Q -. ■” P Class History) Septeml cr ( , 192(i, twenty-nine green Freshmen entered Brimfield High School. All went well for two weeks, then we had our first class meeting which was to organise the class. The following officers were elected: Eileen Kelly, President; Lucille Bane, Vice-President; Alice Tullv, Secretary; Huth Harding, Treasurer; Miss Mathews our Class Advisor. On December 28 we entertained the High School with a Christmas Party, before which we had drawn names and bought presents. Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus came and distributed presents and candy to everyone. When Sophomores we elected the following officers: Lucille Bane, President; Edmund Lottman, Vice-President; Louise Coon, Secretary and Treasurer; Miss Valentine our Class Advisor. Our main social event for this year was an Initiation Party in honor of the Freshmen. As we rolled along into our Junior year, hoping to become Seniors the next year, we elected the following officers: Alice Tullv, President; Edmund Lottman, Vice-President; Irene Bruninga, Secretary and Treasurer; Mr. Schneider was selected as our advisor. Our two important events for this year were: The Junior Play, “Making Daddy Behave”, and “The Junior-Scnior Reception.” The second week in September, 29, we came hack to school, twenty-two very dignified Seniors. At our first class meeting of this year we elected the following officers: Frank ( lark. President; Edmund Lottman, Vice-President; Charles Hayes, Secretary; William Corn-well, Treasurer. Mr. Schneider being our Advisor again. At our second class meeting we talked of putting out a Spectator. We finally decided that we would put it out ourselves without the help of the Junior Class which had been done in the previous years. Although we lost several Classmates, others have come in so that our class is almost as large as when we entered Brimfield High School. We hope that throughout our life we have just as much success as we have had in four years of high school life.

TWENTY-ONE THE SPECTATOR 19 30 —-------H9 Class Prophecy One cold, crisp evening in the month of October I was sitting icily before the fireplace in n very comfortable arm-chair reading a hook. Growing weary of reading, I now sat watching the dancing (lames leap up the chimney and thinking of good old school days at Brimficld. As I stared at the (lames I could see old classmates and again experienced the joys of school days. Suddenly 1 distinguished a figure I had never seen before leaping with the flames. The form emerged a pretty little person with streaming hair and of the same color as tlu flames. The face of this spirit or fairy was sweet, with a mingled expression of humor and seriousness. It began to talk. “As a spirit of Time 1 come to tell you the pleasant things you would care to know about your class “1980”. Do you remember Kleanor Pacey? She is now principal of the fine, new High School of Brimficld.” Soon she continued “Both Helen Black and Ruth Harding studied nursing and in due time Ruth rose to the position of head nurse in a Peoria hospital while Helen, a few years after graduation, married a doctor.” “What of Hazel Savage, where is she now?” I asked, knowing the three always had much in common. “Hazel? oh yes, she studied nursing too, and is now county nurse. Lucille Maher is a prim and smartly dressed little sales lady in an exclusive dress shop in New York. The hook you were reading was written hv Bernadette Flynn. She has led an exciting life having married the third time and is now living happily.” The spirit hesitated awhile, then it said. “Edmund Lottman was the name of the heavy guard I believe. He is now head of a farmers union and is a very successful farmer having studied agriculture in college. Bill or rather William Cornwell directs an orchestra and goes in for racing; as a sideline he broke all records last year. Frank Clark is now manager of the Illinois Athletic Association, after many successes in athletics. ’ The spirit smiled. “The Hill Twins went in for baseball and both are now on the same team. Collver was very much hurt for awhile, because Mildred German broke their engagement, but he finally braced up and is fine now. Charles Hayes studied law at the University of Chicago and is now one of the city’s most successful lawyers. He makes divorce cases his specialty. Irene Bruninga taught for awhile, but now lives in one of Chicago’s fine suburbs as Mrs. Hayes. Her chum Lucille Bane studied music and is now coming into prominence as one of the world's greatest singers. Ixniisc Coon we find sitting in the House of Representatives as a distinguished Congress-woman. Oh yes, Siehoa Iteents took up surveying and is now manager of surveyors in Peoria county. Edwin Meegan who as you know is a great dancer now instructs private dancing lessons, also being a dealer in Ford Tri-Motored Aeroplanes. Raymond Letterman became renounced as a great actor finally breaking into the movies and is now a head director of one of the best movie companies. Alice Tully is now teaching art as well as being head of the commercial department of one of our Eastern colleges. Arthur Blakeway true to his ambition is now flying a Trans-Atlantic passenger plane between New York and London. In a large newspaper office of Philadelphia we find Ruth Krey as assistant editor of “The Daily Times.” Ada Blakeway still continues her hobby of art though she has become the wife of a southern doctor. .lames Sollenbcrger has invented a great device with which one can tell if a person is in love, how deeply and the recipient of the malady.” “What of our dear old High School, I asked as the bright image stopped speaking. All the members of the Class of 30 having been accounted for. “The school as I told you, is now conducted under the roof of a newly constructed modern building. 'There are new teachers there you would not know, as well as new classes. The school is conducted on a larger plan, the increase of the school having grown with the population of the community. The clock struck twelve and the spirit vanished whence it had emerged, whereupon I jumped up, laid away my book and hurriedly prepared for bed and dreams of my interesting visitor. A.

H. S., from all parts of the township, in hopes of obtaining stores of wisdom. Moving cautiously up the imposing stairs, they made their way to the Freshman Room. Numerous questions about the location of rooms I-2-3-1 were heard whispered among this shy group, but once they reached the desired place, they were assured that they were ordinary human-beings and had no need to be frightened. With the aid of Miss Saddler the class was organized, and the following officers steered us through the year: Emily Corney, President; Robert Purcell, Vice-Presi- dent; Allen Coon, Secretary; Clifford Friling, Treasurer. The year passed quickly with numerous parties and other happy times. With no apparent ill effects save, perhaps, a decrease in number, the class advanced into its Sophomore term. Again Miss Saddler, the adviser of this class of twenty-two pupils, assisted us in electing the following officers: President. Allen Coon; Vice-President. Ross Porter; Secretary. Mildred Tullv: Treasurer. Emily C orncy. Wc remembered the bitter penalty put on us for being a freshman and we immediately passed it on to our predecessors. Outside of several parties and many good times the year passed quite uneventful. The great revelation now comes that this group of scared “ Presides” is now known as the “Jolly Juniors” of 29- 80, and have organized with the following officers: Ross Porter, President; Nancy Harker, Vice-President; Fredrick Carroll. S ec ret a ry - T reas urer. Our class has been represented in Declamation. Dramatics, Glee Clubs, G. A. A., on the Basketball floor, in Baseball and on the Track Field. Although busily engaged in school work, this class has taken, and takes, ample time for recreation and social activities. Our group is composed of ten clever boys and twelve bright girls, all of whom are endeavoring to come back next year and make a successful Senior Class of 1931. N. M.

THIRTY Sophomore Tke Sophomore Class THE SPECTATOR — 19 30 —H9 OFFICERS President ................ 'ice-President ..................... Sit retary TttcMMttt Keith Cady Carrol Applegate Livillk Likrle History At the beginning of the school year of 1928. we assembled in the high school as “freshies”. Our class was composed of twenty-one members, which, for Brimfield, was a good-sized class. Within a few days after school started we held a class meeting to elect officers: Grace Minor was elected as President; Maxine Lierle, Vice-President; Russel Moon. Secretary; Paul Harding. Treasurer; our advisor was Miss Christenson. All during the year they performed their duties excellently. On Friday of the first week of November the Sophomores gave us a party, or rather an initiation. We were made mere footpads, but took it as our medicine. From this time on, we became permanent factors in all the school organizations. At Christmas we returned a party to the whole school and I’m sure everybody enjoyed it. As spring came on the Juniors gave their annual reception to the Seniors. Of course the Freshmen girls were “really nice” waitresses. As school came to a close in 1929 the Seniors gave the final year party which was very nice. We danced most of the evening and left for home about midnight. School once more opened in 1929 and we. as Sophomores had lost one of our members but had added one more member. About a week after school started the class officers were elected as follows: Keith Cady, President; Carroll Applegate. Vice-President; Lucille I.ierle, Secretary and Treasurer; and our class advisor was Miss Hummel. The first party was the Freshman initiation and I think they knew it. but we did not give it to them very hard. Our committees should be congratulated on their fine way in conducting the party. Then came the basketball season and everybody went to the games. The team was very successful and one of our Sophomores played on the second team. The Christmas party was postponed until after Christmas vacation as we had a conflict with a basketball game. This party, although postponed, was very nice and we. the Sophomore Class, wish to thank the Freshmen for it. We feel that our class is one of the best that B. H. S. has ever had. and we are trying to make it the very best.

I.ottman History) September 9, 1929, was probably the happiest day in the lives of twenty-seven Freshmen, for we took our places in High School after eight years of unceasing study. The boys of the class have won two county tournaments. We can boast of having Rogers, sensational forward, who was of great assistance to our splendid High School team of 1929- 30. On the afternoon of September thirteenth, amidst great excitement, we held our first class meeting. The following officers were elected: President, Arber John- son; Vice-President. Evelyn Savage; Secretary, Melvin McCoy; Treasurer, Paul Lottman. Miss Christenson, the commercial teacher, was elected as our class advisor. It was not without fear and trembling that we made our way to the Community building on that memorial night in the latter part of October. Why ? Because the merciless Sophomore Class was going to initiate us. But our fear was turned to enjoyment after the initiation especially when frozen suckers were served for the Freshmen have not yet overgrown their liking for suckers. A dance followed the initiation. Our class boasted the king and queen of the evening, Don Comingore and Lucille Tucker. They were chosen by the Sophomore class. Freshmen were seen wearing green ribbons a week after the party. The annual Christmas party given to the High School bv the Freshmen was held the 8th of January and the entire school enjoyed the party. Keith Cecil and Miss Christenson were in charge. And so, under the able leadership of Miss Christenson, we have prospered, and hope to graduate in three more years. A.

Miss Rockwell. The Speech Arts Department presents two plays of the better class each year and has been presenting them very successfully. The plays given are selected with great care, keeping in mind the student body. After the play has been selected the student is given access to the books so that he might look them over. Tryouts are then held and every student has an opportunity to show his ability for the part he thinks he is best adapted. The cast is then chosen from the ones who have shown the best talent. In this way every student has the same chance and if he has any dramatic ability it is developed to some extent by the time he reaches his Senior year. in the spring a Preliminary Declamation Contest is held for any student in the grades and high school for the purpose of choosing a representative for the County Meet. « ■ FORTY 19 30 THE SPECTATOR “THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS” Senior ('lass Play Directed by Frances Rockwell Annabelle Heller Mrs. Heller Willie Heller. “Joe” Heller Louise Heller...

This year they have organized themselves into a club on a self-governing basis with student elected officers. They have uniforms carrying out the school colors. It has been a valuable organization because it has made the students realize the line relations between the pupils, school and community. It has vitalized the regular class work by such social appearances as- at the community show, at the reception for the Methodist Minister, at the Woodman reception, at the County Contest, and Commencement.

The number of students lias ranged from 7 to 13. This class offers a splendid opportunity to students planning to take up a future study of music. The lives of great composers are studied and then works are secured for use in the class room. Miss Hummel, a graduate of the school of Music. Missouri University, has a thorough knwoledge of the history and theory of Music. Under her splendid supervision, interest in music has rapidly increased, until it is one of the most popular departments of the school. We. the class of 1930, wish to compliment her on her work, in further organizing the Music department, for such a movement has long been needed in our school.

At seven o’clock the doors were opened by Gerald and Allen Coon, dressed in white uniforms, and members of the two classes and the faculty took their places at the long tables which were arranged in the familiar banquet style. The rose idea, the Senior class flower, was carried out effectively throughout the entire banquet. Large bouquets of roses in large silver vases were placed on the tables, and at each place was a toy in form of a paper rose, providing a little amusement between courses. The programs contained the Senior and Junior class roll, menu, program, and dance numbers. Each program was tied with the individual colors of the class. The nut-cups and place cards were carried out in the form of roses. Each Senior and members of the faculty was given an appropriate favor, the girls, small gold shopping lists and the bovs. colored address books.

Schneider came to us three years ago, directly from Eureka College, where lie had graduated the previous June. Since that time he has had control of the basketball and track teams of our school, in which he has enjoyed a remarkable success, as is explained in the following pages. A letter man through high school and college years himself, he has been able to teach his players the points of the game through theory, practice, and example. Each added year of his training of the squads has led to a better team, and better season: each team placing as among those best in the history of the school. With excellent material to work upon, Mr. Schneider has used his splendid coaching technique to round out basketball teams which have in turn handed to him the unusual record of having won 91 games in 115 starts. In addition to the fact that games have been won. we feel that our Coach has handled the teams and rooters in such a way that he and his teams arc welcome on the floors where they have played at any time for future games. The play has been good, the spirit has been excellent. We hail him! “OUR COACH Success and a long life to you.

He always out-jumped his opponents at center, was always where he was needed, in fact he was a real captain. Frank scored nearly three-hundred points, and did his share of the guarding. I It inspired his players by word and deed. Frank will he greatly missed from next year’s basketball and track squads. “Bill” was always in there and fighting from the first whistle to the last. Although playing forward Bill, was a strong defensive player, breaking up many plays in the middle of the court. He made a good many points from the field, hut most of his note came from his flashy floor game. Captain-elect Clifford Friling, although handicapped by lack of size, has a dead eye for the basket, and is a dangerous shot from any angle. He will make a good captain and will he heard from next yea r. FIFTY-THREE THE SPECTATOR 19 30 “Pete was one of the closest guarding: men that Brimfiled ever had. His ability to take the ball off the bank board and to hold opponents to long shots won him a reputation as a player. Pete played his last year for B. 11. S. and his place will he hard to fill. “Carl” the freshman flash, could locate the basket from any angle. Although playing his first year, he was high point man, scoring four hundred points. His persistent habit of sinking baskets was a plague to the opponents. “Chuck was an ideal player to work with Pete. His close guarding and fight put fear into the hearts of opponents, making him invaluable to the team. When the team is again organized next year, he will l e greatly missed by all.

The annual Peoria Countv Track Meet was held at Chillicothe. There were eight schools entered in this meet. There was an “A” division and a B division, Brimfield being in the “B” division. The “A” division teams and the “B” division teams participated against each other, but when the points were totaled the school having most points in “A” division and the school having most points in ”B' division were presented a trophy. Brimfield won B” division for the second year straight, collecting twenty-one and one-half points. Mile-run...................................Floyd Porter.

Farmington won the meet. Brimfield placed fourth, with Porter. Meehan, Clark and White, collecting points for Brimfield. Frank Clark is the only letterman left from last year, but there is a large number of men practicing diligentlv and should do something in the County Meet. The book goes to press too soon for the results of track, but there is no reason why we should not win “B” division again. ■xsr SIXTY-THREE The G. A. A., the Girls’ Athletic Association, was first organized in hebruary, 1921). according to the Constitution of the Illinois League of High School Girls Athletic Association. We have had a steady enrollment of thirty girls. ‘‘The object of the league shall be to stimulate the interest in Girls’ Athletics and Gymnastics and to standardize and promote ideals of health and sportsmanship.” In order to carry out this “object”, we have had to watch our training rules carefully, especially “sneaking” in after ten-thirty o’clock from Sunday night dates, and oh! that awful temptation of eating between meals. We have organized as a class again this year and the officers are as follows: President .............Ada Blakeway Vice-President..............................................Minnie Coon Secretary and Treasurer Irene Shaw Executive Committee............Frances Kkena. Bernadette Flynn Our work has been carried on both in and out doors, in the Community building and on the school grounds. We have all sorts of amusement in our “Gym Class”, such as: games of all kinds, dancing, basketball, volleyball, baseball, basketball tournaments. Last year, the Junior Class, this year’s seniors won, and this year the Juniors won. We have gone on many hikes and flower hunts and also on many wiener roasts. In order to finance our organization we have had bake sales and candy sales. We are trying to raise enough money to send several girls as delegates to the “Girls’ Leadership Camp at Petersburg, Illinois, this summer. Last year twelve of the girls were chosen to attend a Play Day. held at Bloomington. Illinois. Saturday, May seventeenth. They were chosen according to ability and attendance. Those who attended were Bernadette Flynn. Louise and Minnie Coon. Eileen Bragg. Louise, Vera, and Edith Whittaker, Irene Shaw. Eleanor Pacey, Viola Hartv. Edna Holmes and June Bartlette. We hope that we may be able to send the same number of girls over there again this year. We have 600 points which we must earn in one year in order to earn a numeral. These numerals are like .31, .32, .33, or what ever year you are graduating in. After earning numerals we work for a letter which requires f 00 points plus the 600 required for numeral. Those earning numerals last year are as follows: Irene Shaw, Louise and Minnie Coon, Bernadette Flynn, Eileen Bragg, Louise Whittaker and Eleanor Pacey. Our success has been largely due to our instructor. Miss Christianson, who has worked patiently and earnestly with us. She has taught us the ways and means of achieving success, of obtaining a sound soul, keeping a healthy body and a clean mind. The G. A. A. was begun through the efforts of Miss Christianson. She has worked hard to create an interest for Girls’ Athletics and has been rewarded bv the increase in attendance the last year. Eleanor C. Pacey.

She took some courses in physical education at the State Teachers’ College. Whitewater, Wisconsin. and also attended an Adult Sport Camp, sponsored by the G. A. A., at Petersburg, Illinois. Miss Christianson is very enthusiastic about her work, and has taught the girls a love for clean sportsmanship. Before she came to our high school, there were no athletics for girls—under her direction, the department was started and has grown rapidly. The girls of the school show much interest in athletics, and are benefited thereby. c arc sure that they owe a vote of thanks to their director. Miss Christianson.

Originated and trained by the Director of Music last year. Miss Phyllis Valentine. the organization played several “concerts”, and made numerous public appearances during the season. This last year. Miss Hummel, the present Supervisor of Music, continued the organization by adding several more instruments including various equipment, and seeing that all were fully uniformed. A splendid organization, begun by Miss Valentine, has been carried forward to brilliant success by Miss Hummel. Among other appearances this year they have furnished band and solo numbers as specialties between the acts of school performances. They are taking an outstanding part in the Operetta program to be given this spring. They will probably form a part of several other entertainments to be given this term.

Members of the team were. Carl Rogers, Henrv Schlink, Willard Bluntly, Arber Johnson. Paul Harding. Willis Fuson. Earl Schlink, Harold Schlink. Elmer Cornev. and Melvin McCoy. They were coached by Klwood Kelley. In the spring the. same boys captured the Grade School Track Meet, without nnieh effort. Bv this time everyone was convinced that we had some real boys in the grade school, and that they were really trained and coached. 1929 Bettering their record of 1928, the Brimfield Grade School Basketball team walked through the season undefeated, and again won the County Tournament.

They sometimes put us in a fix. For now see what Miss Rockwell did— When write a verse she us did hid. I racked my brain in deep despair, Rut since it's almost over now It seems I can write verse somehow. M ARGAKKT Row M AX. There was a guy named Moon He went to a park to spoon He took his girl and I will tell It was none other than Hazel Bell. It was a night in June, Beneath the rustic moon He loved to croon and kiss and spoon That was the life of Russell Moon. Carroll Applegate. A HE-M X’S COMPLAINT They want our haircuts, smokes and punts, And e'en like us, they wanna swear— The only thing they've left to us Is our warm winter underwear. Wilbur Tucker. If it were not For this here verse There'd be a joke here Ten times worse. Staff. DIVIDENDS I sent iny hoy to college With a pat upon his back; I spent ten thousand dollars And got a quarterback. PROPERLY SCORCHED He saw her stepping from a car And up to her he sped; “May I not help you to alight?” “I do not smoke,” she said. Teacher says, “Go write a poem Eight lines long and make them good.” I go home and try my da rudest— What had made her think I could? Teacher, once I read a poem Rut it had the wrong idee, “Is this where you got your notion, “Poems were made by fools like me.” EnMUSD I .OTTM AX. Formerly— She only let me hold her hand Rut last night She let me hug her— And tonight She gave me three kisses— Ah! woe is me! I'm afraid to go back Tomorrow! GEOMETRY I always wonder when I see Who discovered geometry? It's angles here and angles there And triangles, triangles everywhere. We have a regular exhibition When teacher says, “Prove that proposition.” That's why I look for sympathy Whenever I see a geometry. Dorothy Ci.kssox.
