SENIORS OF 1934 ,M gr- ,,gM 1. - -LM Myl- Q- 4.5 Q' C' - Marguerite Carnal Senior Adviser 'E-- ,.,.. To Miss Marguerite Carnal, our class ad- viser, the senior class of 1934 wishes to express their appreciation for her painstaking efforts and willingness to aid us whenever in difficul- ties throughout our junior and senior years. Without Miss Carnal, our class would never have attained that high goal wished for by all members of the class. She was ever occupied with the class organization at the beginning of the year, the senior promenade, the senior class play, and the graduation exercises, which make up a very busy senior year. She has given un- tiringly and unselfishly, and thus has gained the loyal support and admiration of the entire class. The junior officers of the class of 1934 be- gan the activities of this excellent class last year. They were: president, Mike Rocheg vice-president, Alyne Jenseng secretary, Vega Norrbyg treasurer, Neilo Koskig sergeant-at- arms, Paul Blair. They acted as the nominat- ing committee to select the officers for the year of 1934 when the class, composed of 146 mem- bers was organized at the beginning of the year. The nominees were: for president, Gilbert Frey and Larry Keegang for vice-president, Mariann Swanson and Evelynne jacobsong secretary, Carol Montgomery and Elsie Peurag treasurer, Marjorie Beals and Neilo Koskig and sergeant-at-arms, Howard Eychaner and Carl White. The class election took place during the first part of October. The results which were made public at a later meeting were: president, Larry Keegang vice-president, Evelynne jacobsong secretary, Elsie Peurag treasurer, Neilo Koskig and sergeant-at-arms, Carl White. We wish to thank the oflicers of this class, who have so successfully led us through our last two years. All are needed by each one, Nothing is fair or good alone.

FIRST DEKALB HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL WHO GRADUATED A SENIOR CLASS. LIBRARY The students of DeKalb Township High School are very fortunate in attending a school so well equipped with such a modern library. Admittance to the library is gained by library passes issued by the instructors for open periods. Ir is under the supervision of Miss Irma Wittke. She has a number of pupils who are in- terested in library work to assist her. These pupils are taught valuable information concern- ing the library by Miss Wittke. The library provides collateral reading for all studies. Many hours are spent there searching for reference books, for material for reports and themes. It also affords pleasure in as much as it has so many attractive and worthwhile fiction books. This year the library is even more attractive as the Class of '33 left money to secure needed books. These books were selected by Miss Jeann Sohner, adviser of the Class of '33 and Miss Wittke. Among these books we have the recent works of leading authors and the classics which will always have their place in the library. The books are arranged on the shelves by the decimal system of classification. This simplifies the finding of books for pupils. Some of the most pleasant and valuable hours in D. T. H. S. are those which we spent in the library. Much valuable in- formation can be gained through the many in- teresting and educational magazines found in our library. These maga- zines give the students a splendid opportunity for reference and recrea- tional purposes. Miss Irma Wittke NIL E. H. Drew Niiss Lili Jh PHYSICAL EDUCATION One of the more popular courses is the exten- sive and varied physical education program car- ried out at D. T. H. S. Mr. Earl Drew is instructor of the boys' gym work. Four years of physical education work are required, unless the student is a participant in one of the major sports of the school. One of the most important things resulting from gym work, besides body building, is the spirit of co-operation instilled in the students. As health is of course the primary aim of these classes, only those activities which tend to build up health are offered. One day the students may engage in exercises, another in practicing the fundamentals of basket- ball, wrestling, volleyball or boxing, thus we see the student gains a playing knowledge of several different sports, all of which are healthful. Girls' gym work is directed by Miss Lillian Johnson, who has charge of all the girls' classes. Here the requirements are the same as in the boys' department, namely, four years of work, two days a week, one in swimming, the other in the gym. Besides such sports as basketball, volleyball, and indoor baseball, games, stunts and various forms of dances are included in the girls' gym room. As with the boys' department, here again, teamwork and good sportsmanship are the high- est aims of the course. KISHWAUKEE .... THE TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL WAS ESTABLISHED AT A

The seniors have spent much time in raising money, by means of candy sales, concessions at both football and basketball games, as well as sponsoring sunset dances at various intervals during the school year. Then too, orange and black pencils were sold on which was printed the basketball schedule for the l933-34 season. During the second semester came the problem of choosing the cast for the annual senior class play. In the spring came the annual senior picnic, for which committees were chosen and work begun to plan for the picnic which was held in the latter part of May. Reminiscing over our high school days, wherein we worked and played together, we find it no easy task to think of departing from the beloved halls of D. T. H. S. where we have become so attached and have spent many happy hours. From green to greener fields we go where we know other opportunities await us, if only we shall go in search of them.
