Brimfield High School - Spectator Yearbook (Brimfield, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 106 of the 1935 volume:

FQRLV.'J.RD Necessity is the mother of invention.” This trite old saying is true even in the field of high school annuals. Fewer annuals have been published in recent years due to their excessive cost rather than to a lack of interest on the part of the students. V7e believe that we have solved the financial problem, however, by not only editing but by publishing our annual right here at school. The cost in only about one third as much as when published in the old way, and yet we believe that this CUR OWN VOLUME will be fully as much appreciated in years to come as any annual yet published. DEDICATION In honor of our parents, through whose help and sacrifice it has been made possible for us to enjoy the advantages offered in our high school, and to those friends of the school who have always given their loyal support, we wish to dedicate this new edition of the Brimfield Spectator.

During the first week of school a class meeting was held and the following officers were elected: Helen Clark, president; Ruth Mendenhall, vice president; Mildred Lottman, secretary; Elmer Cornev, treasurer. Early in October the sophomores entertained us with an initiation party, which was enjoyed by everyone, including the freshmen. Later wo showed our appreciation by giving an all school Christmas party. In our sophomore year only twenty-eight members enrolled. The first event of importance was the initiation of the freshmen. In February we enjoyed a hard time party, sponsored by the freshmen class. When wc be came Juniors vie really made things hum. This year we had bake sales, -Candy sales, and sponsored the play, A Full House.” On the evening of May 18, we entertained the seniors at a reception held at the University Club in Peoria. Later we attended the Madison Theatre. Many of the Juniors who were ir the biology class enjoyed the meetings and parties which were hold in connection with the Audobon Society” of birds. The Juniors parties must have been too much for four members of the class, because only twenty-one enrolled on September o, 1933. We gave our senior class play, Deacon Dubbs early in April and May 14, we were guests at the annual Junior-Senior reception; which was given at the Y. 17. C. A. Building in Peoria.

Jfany of us, on that memorable day, looked about in awkwared silence, but after we had survived the first few hours, the strangeness wore off and we found ourselves settled in school routine. Early in the fall we wore initiated at a party, given by the Sophomore class and at Christmas, we, in turn, entertained with an all school party. In our Sophomore year our number had diminished to sixteen. We enjoyed several parties during the year, but as a whole, this year was less eventful than the previous one The next year as Juniors, we presented our class play The Little Clodhopper , which was enjoyed by a largo audience and thoroughly established our reputation as actors. Following the production of the play we made .arrangements for the Junior-Senior reception. The greatest accomplishment of our Senior year was the publication of the Spectator. Although the Spectator had been published before, this was the first year that the entire book was edited and printed by members of the school. To our High School superintendent, lor. Nichols, we owe much credit for his tireless effort and efficiency toward making this annual overwhelmingly successful. .7e gave our Senior play, Chintz Cottage early in May, and it was followed by the Junior-Senior reception, which was one of the outstanding events of our High School activities. Although our year ha. nearly ended it it is our earnest wish that this class of 1935, through deeds commendable, will forever live in the history of Erimfield High School. Class Will Wo, the most illustrious class of 1935, being about to leave this sphere of learning, in full possession of a sound mind, well-tr.ained memory. nine and almost superhuman intelligence, do make, publish, and declare this last will and testament.

In testimony whereof, we have here unto fixed our hand and seal this first day of May, 1935. • Signed) Senior Class By Barbara Johnson Testa, tor • Class Prophecy My study was illuminated by the flickering glow of the fireplace. The wind was howling down the chimney and a round the corner of the house. A mist appeared around the keyhole gradually shaping into a shrouded ghostly figure. It moved across the room with a tread a3 slow and steady as the monotonous ticking of the clock and took possession of the darkest corner of the room. A period of silence elapsed in which I grow cxcoodingly nervous. At last my visitor spoke in a voice solemn and deep. ’There are you classmates of Yesterday?1' My mind goes back to the day I spent at the famous horse race, the Kentucky Derby. I saw Coe Miller ride Honeybunch to the tape as the winner. He has won world fame as a winning Jockey. I have visited frequently my classmate Raymond Gessell, President of the Gcss.-ll Electrical Corporation, world famous for efficiency and quality of its electrical goods. Vern Catton, the head coach of Northwestern University, is a very successful instructor of the sports of this school, coaching now the future state champi ons. Next week will bo held the championship bout between Slugger Bill Duffy and Casey O’Mulligan. elevcn B.K.S. 1935 Duffy is defending his title. A prominent member of congress is to speak in Chicago tonight. His name is the Hon. ’.to. A. Archibald, Federal Reconstruction Coi'poration. On a corner in the heart of Few York is Ye Home Beauty Shop, ovoied and operated by Lenora Ekena, a famous beauty specie-list. She has won fame. Barbara Johnson M.D., is a high ranking specialist, and the only v oman doctor on Kale Brothers staff. She has taken a complete medical course and has had much experience. Wilfred Blundy, the new States Attorney, is a very clever and efficient lawyer. He was graduated from Harvard and was admitted to the bar in 1940. The Ford Corporation would be lost without their master mechanic, William Minor. He has taken a complete course in mechanical engineering and what he doesn’t know about cars isn't worth knowing. Lawrence Hasselbacher has gained as much honor and fame as did Einstein. He has discover a force which he calls the xyz. He and Raymond are performing remarkable things with it. Kathryn Maher is the head nurse of the St. Francis Hospital of Peoria. She gained gis position by an extensive training course and much experience. Leroy Whittaker is a master of farmer. He has taken and agriculture course at the University of Illinois and is using the knowledge gained to a very profitable extent. Edith German’s Y Olden Tea Shop has gained fame in the surrounding country, and as I have sampled her tea and biscuits I can safely say she deserves it. Bong I The clock strikes one. Ky visitor dwindles into nothing. Silence and sleep resign over all. twelve | B. H. S j ______. N -------------- 7 !' xi : :-4jVn 'A ii CLASS POEK Listen my children and you shall 'near, In the twentieth century, thirty-fifth year. Of the Seniors, the class of thirty-five Thirteen scholars, all alivo. Barbara's a girl with a very good mind Y hich is very unusual for one of her kind. Kathryn studies as hard as can be Y hich is just the opposite of you and me. Edith is quiet and speaks few words But whatever she says is worth being heard. Lenora and laughter make a pair, Y hich makes her friends both far and near. 7ilfred Blundy, Speck to us, Is always found as the cause of a fuss Although at heart he’s a very good chap And really can study but would rather nap. Archie and Cec are two of a kind, “Short of stature but of the same mind, That brawn can be conquered by using the head. In spite of all that the people have said. Two Seniors, both Bills, come next in the row. Both good scholars, a trifle slow, Vern Catton’s a fellow who’s afraid of none, They don’t come so big that they can’t be shortened some. Raymond's a scholar if there ever was one. He comes to study and not just for fun. Leroy is quiet and perhaps a bit shy. But characters change as the years go by. Lawrence, whose hobby is working with wood. Is a carefree fellow and could work if he would. Thus cnd3 the boys a carefree lot. Some like to study but they do not. Thus for the Seniors thirteen in all, A class of large hearts though in size it is small. And hope that in fame they’re excelled by none We wish them success in the veers to come.

This was a hard day on them but they gradually began to feel that they belonged.'’ Two weeks later we met with Miss Saddler and the following class officers were elected Hilson Reinhart, President, Earl Lottman, Vice President, Rita Cahill, Secretary, Hillard Hasselbacher, Treasurer. The Sophmores entertained us in October, and treated us scandalously-----in other words wo were initiated. The Freshmen entertained the rest of the High School with a Christmas Party at the Community Building. In September 1933, we returned to school facing a serious situation. Three new teachers I But we decided before the year was over that we had gained much from these new contracts. Our Class officers were, Prcsid-cnt, Gladys Harms; Vice President, Rita Cahill; Secretary, Martha Minor; Treasurer, Bernard Cluskcy; with Miss Saddler class adviser. He remembered our initiation very well so wo tried to do justice to the Freshmen to whom we gave a party. The three new teachers did not escape, but showed that they were good sports. The High School Band was organized this year with Mr. Saxton for our leader. Our association with him has been a very pleasant one and wo hope we haven’t caused him too many gray hairs. ,v3 Juniors we elected Rita Cahill, President; Kenneth Pullen, Vice President: Leland Hhittaker,Secretary Treasurer: Class Advisor Mr. '. right. The Junior Class Play Deacon Dubbs, was presented and well attended. The Junior-Senior banquet was held at the Y.’J.C.a. in Peoria, May 16, 1935.

Our team played Elmwood and Yates City, and made a good shewing for the season. BASKET—Bi'iLL Basket-ball was the big a.thletic event of the year. Considering the fact that most of our grade team of the previous year graduated into high school we won a good percentage of the games. During the games the team fought to rin from start to finish often coming out on top. The members of the squad were: Robert Dungan, Joseph Blundy, Robert Minor, Clarence Luthy, John Endrcs, Y. ilbur Tully, Charles Carson, Rudolph Arnold, and Curtiss Recnts.

At seven, the students left the school building for Kasselbacher’s woods. When the students arrived, they found that a roaring fire had been made under Mr. Wright’s supervision. After the roast, games were played. Shortly after ten, the fire was extinguished and the group dispersed for their homes. Weiner Roast The Seniors were hosts to the Juniors and the entire faculty at a weiner roast on October 10, in Hasselbacher's woods. The committee built a big fire around which we ate, chatted, and played games until about 8:30, when most of the crowd left to go to Elmwood to see the show ’’Treasure Island.” Initiation The first all-school par-ty of the year was held in the Community Building, Friday evening, October 5. The initiation of the Freshmen furnished the entertainment and loud was the laughter that the unfortunate individuals provoked. The rooms were attractively decorated with blue and silver, the Freshmen colors. Games were played in the club room and dancing in the auditorium. Halloween Party Everyone enjoyed the all-school masquerade party which was given by the Junior class on November 2. The basement of the Community Building was decorated with corn stocks and pumpkins, which made a very appropriate setting for such a party. Prizes were won by Kathryn Maher and Edith German for having the best costume for such an occasion, and Janet Tully for the prettiest costume. Very interesting games were -arranged in which everybody took part. thirty one CHRISTMAS PARTY The Christmas party, on December 19, was a fitting finish to a pleasant and profitable semester. The first event of the evening was the Christmas tree from which each student drew at least one present. Games were played by all, under the leadership of Donald Kayes, and then, dancing was enjoyed for the remainder of the evening. BRADLEY TRIP On April 12, the Seniors were guests of Bradley College.

Between Acts: Piano Solo..............Thelma DeVries. Kiss of Spring .........Mixed Chorus. The plot of the CHINTZ COTTAGE fairly bristles with exciting events. It tells the story of what happens up at Minty's place . Minty, a charming girl of twenty, bored with society, comes from the city to rusticate in the remote village of Meadowbrook. She brings with her a maid and settles down for a state of peace and quiet. Then the lid blows off and one exciting event piles on another to startling climaxes. Proceeds from this .play were used to help defray expenses for the publication of the annual. thirty five JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The banquet given by the Juniors was a very lovely party this year.

OUR JANITORS Two indispensable persons around the campus arc our two janitors, Mr. Henry Arnold end Mr. Henry DeVries. They arc the first at school in the morning, and frequently the last to leave at night. They try to keep us warm in winter end cool in hot weather. TThilo this is Mr. DeVries’ first year at the Community Building we have all learned to appreciate his helpfulness and efficiency. Mr. Arnold has been at the me in building for twelve years and during this long period of time has faithfully taken care of our various needs. In appreciation of these two friends we dedicate this space in our annual. thirty-eight Ground School Manual iraining Commercial GYMNASIUM DOM-SCIENGE HeNIY AhMCLD Main Buildin6 V . KITTENBALL We started our second s p- -n of kittcnball this year, -,7ith about thirty boys reporting for practice. Last year, even though we didn’t win, we received some valuable experience o hich proved helpful to us this year. Our first game of the season was with Elmwood. By that time Coach bright had chosen the first squad and the tear.] showed much promise. Host of the boys who started the season stayed with us till practice was over. We consider that wo had a successful season, as we won about half or our games, and securedstill more experience. BASKETBALL Basketball practice started about the second week in October, and about twenty-five boys came out for practice. Veterans of last years squad were Wilfred Blundy and Vcrn Catton, who served as a nucleus around which to build this yco.rs team. The team as a whole worked hard all yeo.r and profited by their many experiences. 7c only lose two members of the squad next year, and are locking forward to a winning season. TRACK The track season for 35 as far as weather conditions were concerned, would have been good for duck hunting. Practice started about the last part of March, and about twenty boys came out. In spite of adverse weather conditions the team worked hard and have made a creditable sh wing for the year. Since nest of the men are undcr-clo.ssmcn the outlook for next season in very promising. Mr. Wright came to Brimficld High directly from Western Normal. With his pleasing personality and his ever-willingncss to help others, he has xfn the admiration and respect of everyone. During his first year he had to build an entirely new basketbo.il team but not once did he show signs of discourr.gemont or impatience. He has put forth every possible effort to meet each obsto.cle and in doing so has taught us a real spirit of sportsmanship. V c ho.il him Our Coach . forty one Speck Wilfred Blundy-G. and F. Speck is playing his last year for B.H.S. and will be missed by the future teams. He was a plague to the opponents with his speedy playing and his eye for the basket. He was in the game fighting to win from start to finish Tommy Thomas Day-Forward Tommy is a Freshman star and in his next three years of basket-ball we expect a good record from him. His quick thinking and an eagle eye for the basket will and has shown up during his year’s playing. Keith Savage-Forward Here is a small but speedy player. He was usually where the opponents thought he wasn’t and caused them a good deal of worry. With six inches more heighth he will in the next two years cause his opponents a good deal more worry. Irl Goudy-C. and G. Irl was the Rock of Gibraltar around which many of the plays were based. He was because of his heighth a great help in breaking up the opponents plays and at taking the ball of the bank-board. Bernard Cluskey-G. and F. Bernard is a Junior and has one more year to play. He plays a snappy floor game and has a good eye for the basket, making them from almost any angle. Bernard should be able to make even a better record for himself next season. Fat Yern Catton G. and F. Fat is playing his last year with the team and his spirit and fight will be greatly missed by next year’s team. Putting it in Vern’s own words They don’t grow too big but what they can be cut down.” Jack” Jack is a freshman, but Oh 1 what a Freshman. He is Dead Eye Dick when shooting baskets, and a Stonewall Jackson when playing guard. We are all expecting a mighty fine record from him in the next three years he has to play. forty-two September 19 September 25 October 1 Octobe r 3 October 5 Oc t obe r 8 — October 9 October 12 - KIT ALL Schedule —----Elmwood------ -----Yates City ----- Maquon ----- ----- Elmwood ---- -----Princeville ----- Yates City -----IFaquon----- ----- Princeville Here There He re There Here Here There There November 17 - -November 21 --November 27 -- December 7 --- December 11 Deccmbe r 21 — January 4 ---- January 8 ---- January 15 --- January 18 --- January 23-26 February 6 --- February 8 --- February 16 February 22 February 27 -- March 1 ------- March 6, 7, 8, BASKETBALL Schedule -----Maquon-----------There -----Yates City-------Here -----Glasford ------- Here -----Elmwood-----------Here -----Chi Hi cothe-----There -----Dunlap-----------There ----- Princeville — There -----Maquon------------Here -----Gilson-----------There ----- Yates City —- There ---------- Bi-County -Tour -----Gilson------------Here ----- Elmwood------- There -----Cuba--------------Here ---- Glasford ——-- There ----- Tilliamsfield - Here ----- Dunlap-----------Here 9----District Tournament Aoril 12 -April 16 -April 17 -April 23 -May 14 --- TRACK Schedule Chillicothe -(dual)-There Elmwood-----(track ) —There Elmwood-----(field)—Here (Kickapoo-League)---There ( Chillicothe(County)There f orty-f our r 1 T 19.35 I Lack row-left io right: Donald Corney, 'Jonald Cluskey, Lawrence Hasselbacher,manager, Paul Killer, Donald Bu rge s s .

It is akin to any other corporation in that it gives you back whatever you put into it, and generally much more. You cannot go up to a person whom you think you will like and say, We’re friends for life. That type of friendship won't last a week at the most. Friendship is a huge edifice. A few bricks of this structure may be laid in a day, or it may take a week to add to it. Sometimes a few bricks may be blown down by the winds of discord. It requires months and sometimes years to construct a building of this type which is adequate enough to withstand all tempests, such as brainstorms and dissension. If friends face life together, the burden is twice as easily carried. Friends are people who look at each other's virtues as well as each other's faults; and who find that the former outweigh the latter. A friend is one who knows all about you, but loves you just the same. SILENCE Silencei It was as a blanket smothering me, oppressing me, forcing me to fight for freedom. My mind formed pictures of countless animals creeping in the shadows, huge bloated shapes with grinning faces, worms of tremendous sizes and shapes,ghosts with trailing robes and grinning skulls. Outside the fog formed a gray cloak around the vague forms of trees and buildings. A board creaked I What was that? Instantly my nerves were on edge and my hair on end. Silence. Gradually ray heart regained its slow, steady rythm and my hair its former (or natural) position. Then imagination began to form huge men with ugly knives slinking along the corridors, willing at a moments forty seven B.H.5.1 notice to cut my throat. A groan becomes audible. Instantly I became a timid soul lost on the paths of fear. I reason with myself desperately, trying to say it was the wind yet fearing it was other wise. The blanket of silence draws tighter. I gasp. I struggle. I fight for freedom. A door slams A cheery voice rings out. The silence is broken and I can lean back in my chair again and laugh at my fears NEIGHBORS Sometimes I think that neighbors are a nuisance; sometimes they are a blessing. ’Then they just borrow and borrow and never return, they are, needless to say, very bothersome. liny I borrow your wagon to-day Hine has a wheel off, or Lend me a pair of pliers. This is a common occurrence among farmers. In town it is, Hay I borrow your lawn-mower? and they adjust it to suit themselves. Then, when you go tc cut your grass (after calling for your ovm mower at your neighbor’s back door and being met with a stony stare as if you were borrowing something) you have to fix it again. Neighbor children yelling and tumbling in your front yard do not add to your disposition on a hot day either. Then again, what would we do without neighbors? Wouldn't we be lonesome with no neighbors, no one to talk to or look at but ourselves? Life would be more monotonous than ever, no visiting, no talking, no nothing . V e would miss the neighbors occassional pie or cake sent in on a cold winter's day and wo would miss their lights in a storm. All in all, I guos3 it is a gocd thing we have neighbors► THE LEAFY HOUSEKEEPER Into the air A tree reaches high. Like a green broom To sweep the dull sky. forty eight INITIATION The tall freshman made his way hack to the fraternity house in the dusk. 7ith great reluctance he shoved open the door and saw a group of veterans reading and smoking in advance of the evening meal. -.Vhen he approached the chairman of the Initiation Committee sat up. ■ ell, well, what did old Riggin do to you? I asked one question and he put me cut, just like you knew he’d do. A laugh broke from the crowd and the chairman looked severe. Then you didn't ask question two and three? I tell you, I couldn't. Too bad. No work, no supper. The freshman was losing his patience and in a burst said, I've taken your fool orders all day and I'm tired of it. Just for that young man, said the chairman, you'll go at once to the corner of Sim Street and wait for the trolley. You must signal it to step. 'Then it does, you must put your foot on the step, in sight of the conductor, tie the shoe lace on your right foot and then thank the man politely for the use of his car. I hope we can trust you alcne. The freshman glared at hit1, and said, If I've got to be such a fool--okay. Well, he decided he'd be a sport about it anyway. The car was a little late, but not any too late to suit him. His heart sank when he saw its light turning a bend and approaching. He signaled, the motorman stopped, and the freshman put his foot up in preparation of tying his shoe string. A charming voice said nearby. Would you mind tying mine, too? A charming ankle was thrust in view. It was a girl, a knockout, with a tilted nose, a green hat pulled down over one eye and a package under each arm. Her shoe was untied. He leaning down tied it. The conductor spoke, Miss, you'll have to do your dressing somewhere else. forty-nine The freshraan straightened at these words, but the girl only laughed roguishly, and descended to the street. Let me help you with your bundles. She handed him the smaller bundle. This one is precious, so I'll carry it. It's a new hat. I d like to go to a dance tonight, and I saw the hat and bought it, though I don't need it at all. What dance do you mean? Oh, just a certain group at a professor's home. Aren't they dull? It probably will be, but you have to take what you can get. Do you live here? Yes, I was born and reared here, she admitted. Are you one of the students? I'm a freshman, he confessed. You don't look like one, she said. Have you been initiated yet? They just started on me, he said rather sheepishly. They sent me to Riggin, the astronomer, and told me to ask him three Questions before he threw me out. She laughed, I can guess the first question: Do you think Einstein is strong in his mathematics? How did you know? he asked. Oh, it's a college joke. They always ask it. I don't suppose you know Professor Riggin? he asked interestedly. I've met him of course. I suppose that you know seme of the students? Oh, no. I thought you might be going to the dance with one of them. Oh, nc, but I might ask Professor Riggin to take me. At this moment they turned at a corner and she said, Here's where I live. Could I see you sometime? fifty I wish you would. Your nice, she said as she mounted the steps, And it's mean of me to use you this way. You see there isn’t any dance tonight. He stammered, But you told me---- 3 know, 3 had to get a college hoy to walk from the car to the house and get rid of him afterwards. Get rid of me? Yes, it's the sorority. The which? The high school—they're taming me too, you see I She waved her hand, not unkindly. The door closed and he was alone with his thoughts. THE TRAGEDY OF MR. H. (HAT) A most tragic tragedy has recently occurred. I cannot find my hat I Is it in the closet? No, because I spent o,n hour and wasted a good hit of ray energy cleaning that closet in a search for it. Now it might he in my room upstairs. No, it couldn't ho there i Here I began t: search for the lost member frantically for I had hut fifteen minutes left in which I could conduct my search and get to school on time. In and out of rooms I ’.vent tearing things up unconsciously in the thrill of the hunt. At last I gave up and resorted to other means. Mom, I can't find my hat I Did I look in the bedroom? Yes. In the dining room? Yes. In the parlor? Yes. Did I look on my head? Then it dawned on me, and looking in the mirror, 3 beheld the missing member resting peo.cefully on my head. INTER Loaves of gold nor; fallen? Monarch trees in exile. Evergreen is lord Of winter's solemn silence Once more. fifty one OUR FOEI.IS teachers The faculty is the group we know as teachers But to us they everyone seem like preachers. We always do just what they say, As they keep order from day to day. When in going upstairs at noon Even just two minutes too soon, Mr. Nichols is sure to say ’’Just why did you come up early today? If to science class we go. And are not sitting up just so. The coach again speaks aloud. That some day v e w ll be proud That he made us sit just so, Instead of letting us sit so low. When into Miss Efnor’s assembly room we stray Spit out that gum, she it sure to say. When to English class we go atripping We have to keep our tongues from slipping, Here Miss Cora does much reciting Trying to teach us about letter writing. Miss Wallace often says Take your seat. But often times she has to repeat and repeat. We would rather sit gazing around the room Than to pick up a book that is so full of gloom. Then at the seventh hour we unwillingly stray Into room four to learn about Caesar trotting o’er the clay. Miss Saddler teaches us the Latin from cover to cover This is a difficult subject as I did soon discover. We pass to the board with eraser and chalk, V e are content not to run but to walk. The Latin period soon rolls by And we are seon (but not on the sly) Happily going towards town With a smile and not a frown. fifty-two The Plaint of the Freshmen The Seniors are classed as the highest that pass. The juniors come next in the row, The Sophomores are noted, (l d hate to he quoted) For having an average that's low; But the Freshmen, alack, must sit in the hack, There are no ranks for U3. The seniors wear hats and gray-colored spats. The juniors wear sweaters of red. The sophomore wear colors, that differ from others That is the thing I've heard said. But the poor Freshmen wear anything hiding hare. Anything doe3 for us. The seniors eat 'lasses, drink water in glasses. The Juniors eat pie and ice-cream, Thj Sophomores eat little, their figures to whittle. Into a shape that is loan. But Freshmen are fed anything, it is said.
