,i THE I935 MAROON Of CHAMPAIGN HIGH SCHOOL Presents Its Twenty-Sixth Annual To a friend who among his widely varied interests in the educational, civic, religious, scientiiic, and social affairs of Champaign and community keeps us, the people of the school, always foremost in his mind. For that rea- son we have planned this front page to intro- duce the reader to each part of the book and to depict some of the interests of Mr. Vernon L. Nickell, who is successfully completing his fifth year as Superintendent of the Cham- paign Public Schools by seeing his dream of a Junior High School becoming a reality. Undoubtedly from the first section, In- teresting People, consisting of the students and faculty of the Champaign High School, the most interesting to him is his daughter, Geraldine, familiarly known to her senior classmates as 'tJerry. From the section en- titled Their Hobbies, which includes the clubs of the school and which in reality are the hobbies of the interesting people, we have chosen the picture of one of the Physics club 's exhibits because of his keen interest in any and all forms of scientific advancement. Last fall he spoke to us on scientific heroes. In our four years of attendance at high school athletic contests, we have never failed to find Mr. Nickell as close as possible to the team and as enthusiastic as any member re- gardless of the type of sport, hence we have chosen this little picture of the basketball squad preparing to leave for Streator to por- tray that field in which the athletes of the school have predominated for more than 40 years-Their Sports. Last but not least is the fine arts-dramatics, publications and music -where students have a chance to express themselves in creative work. For this divi- sion, Their Arts, we have chosen a snapshot taken of the long line which formed at eight o'clock one morning preceeding one of the productions staged by the musicians and dra- matists and publicized by the journalists. Thus you see the contents of our 1935 BTAROON which are built around the people of the. school and their interests, for the mod- ernized Mark Hopkins idea is the faculty and students on one end of the log with their hobbies, their sports, and their arts on the other. The staff has earnestly attempted to picture by camera and by pen the daily ac- tivities of the twelve hundred members of the Champaign High School family in the year that marks the tercentennary anniversary of the founding of the Boston Latin School, which was the forerunner of the American secondary school.
