THOMAS THORNTON Page Two 2'-1' In presenting the 1940 February edition of the Red and Black we have striven to portray our spirit, our ideals, our accomplishments, and our ambitions. We have recorded many happy incidents. We hope that this book will hold for you in the future fond memories as you turn the pages and meet old friends face to face.

Are you a heart listener, a head listener, or merely a foot listener? The ancients were primarily the heart listeners, while we moderns embrace all three. The origin of religious music was accredited to the Hebrews and Assyrians. The Greeks, however, were the first to encourage the study of music. While sacred music was still receiving special attention the modern period gradually began. Today our modern music may be of two kinds-classical and swing. Enjoyment may be found in both. Intelligent listen- ing is not dependent upon the thorough knowledge of music. Of all the arts music is practiced the most and thought about the least. The radio offers a medium through which both types of music may be heard. Many people read the newspapers on the day after they have attended a concert or operatic representation for the purpose of finding out whether or not the performance gave them proper or sufficient enjoyment. Still others ask them- selves the questions: What effect does it really produce on me? Does it give me pleasure? Unless pleasure is received the piece of music has not done the work for which it was written. Let us cultivate, then, the spirit of keen enjoyment. Let us strive to appreciate to the utmost, the beauties of this fine art. '5!5f5f'N Page Five ,MA cfedicafe MLM U0 owne fo lt is with gratitude and appreciation of its progress in each achievement and willing service to the school and community that we, the Ianuary class, 1940, of the Iean Baptiste Point Du Sable High School, dedicate this book, the 1940 RED and BLACK to OUR BAND. Captain Walter Henri Dyett, efficient director of our ninety- two piece band with an S rating, received his training in several of the leading musical colleges of the country. In addition to a few years of theatrical experience he has been a band conductor and a violinist. CAPTAIN WALTER HENRI DYETT Page Seven P q Hgh! C. C. WILLARD, Principal HIS MESSAGE You are seniors. Pour years of high school are almost at an end, and what of knowledge, of social control, of powers of individual direction that comes with the four years of high school which you have enjoyed, each of you may sum up as his gain in the enterprise. The broadened view, the deepened under- standing, the enriched circle of friendship add to make up the main account. We hope you have enjoyed these four years. We hope, also, the experiences of these four years in Du Sable may linger long in memory as days of joyous and productive living. MHS. ANNABEI. ll. PHESEUTT Our assistant principal, Mrs. Annabel C. Prescott, is a scholarly, distinguished, and highly cultured woman, who attended and graduated from Wendell Phillips High School, received a bachelor's degree in the romance languages, from the University of Chicago, and has also done graduate work in education at De Paul University. She, an enthusiastic and energetic Worker, stated, I enjoy any sort of Work. My ambition, in regard to my own particular job, is to get it so well organized that some day much more time can be spent with the outstanding students, who after all, are far in the majority. Mrs. Prescott, mindful of the necessity of developing proper democratic attitude on the part of each pupil remarked, I should like to teach citizenship, according to a curriculum of my own. My hobby is traveling. I like to smell locomotive smoke, and to hear the sound of a fog horn on an ocean liner, were her concluding statements. mvmmuwwm an-zu ll Il PAC LTY C. C. WILLARD, Ph. B.

These pins have little intrinsic value, but to the recipients their sentimental worth is inestimable. In this Ianuary 1940 class the six students whose pictures appear on this page received these medals of merits.

STAFF The Social Staff, organized and known for years as the Dean's Staff. is the oldest service group in the school. The girls who make up its membership are selected because of their high scholastic standing and leadership ability. They are the official hostesses of the school and in so functioning are privileged to make a contribution to the social life of the school and at the same time receive valuable training individually. The chairman of the group for the school year 1939-40 is Mae Gordon Davis. Co-chairmen are Helen Langston and Nellie Millet. The sponsors are Miss Ieanette Triplett and Mrs. Nellie Murray. Page Forty STUDENT IIIIUNIIII. MARDELLE RODGERS The Student Council was organized in February, 1935. Its purpose is to provide a more effective organization of the student body, to promote higher standards of scholarship, to develop the best student conduct, and foster all legitimate school enterprises. At the present time, the membership is 246 students, one representative and one alternate from each division. Its first sponsors were Miss Cora Anderson, Mrs. Marie Butler, and Mr. French. The present ones are Miss Helen Fortune, Miss Cora Anderson and Mr. Lester Wilson. The council's outstanding accomplishments have been: to initiate the Activity Drive every semester, to act as student governing body, to develop the Beautify Du Sable Fund, to admit new clubs to membership on school list, to sponsor Christmas collections, to prcmote clean-up campaigns, and this year to sponsor a successful drive to raise money for basketball uniforms. The most important members this semester are: Ralph Mitchell, president of the Senior Class: Frederick Lights, president of the Iunior Class: Alfred Cannon, Chief of Marshalls: Morris Proffitt, commanding officer of the R. O. T. C.: Lionel Iordan, treasurer of the Senior Class: and Othello Ellis, cheer leader. Outstanding members for scholarship are: Morris Proffitt, Vivian Starks, Lionel Iordan, Mardelle Rodgers, and Frederick Lights. The officers are: Iohn McLean, president: Frederick Lights, vice-president: Mardelle Rodgers, secretary and treasurer: Harriette Smith, assistant secretary and treasurer: Charles Crump, sergeant-at-arms: and Raymond McEwen, assistant sergeant-at-arms. V THE STUDENT PIIHUM Ever since the organization of the Student Forum, the club has served its purpose to a very high degree. This club has developed in its membership a keen interest in many social, civic, and political problems It has discussed many subjects of vital interest: such as juvenile delinquency hous ing, and the Constitution. The organization has given its members a chance to develop speaking ability and alert minds. There are more than forty members in the Student Forum. Many out standing persons of the community have been guest speakers of this organization. The officers are: Iacob Dochee, president: Ralph Mitchell, vice president Dorothy Tate, secretary: and Horace Powell, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Mary Herrick is the sponsor. l'l 'Y-I Lf' f ,A T Pczgv Fortyronz' WHATS THE NEWS ? What's the news? It can be found in the Recorder which is published bi-monthly by the reporters who are members of the A. Iournalism Class and by other efficient members of the staff. Each year the editor-in-chief and at least one other member of the staff attend the N. S. P. A. tNational Scholastic Press Associationl, which convenes in different cities in this area. They return and impart to the staff many new ideas which they have obtained from lectures, clinics, and panel discussion groups. The staff has membership in the Greater Chicago Scholastic Press Association. After three semesters of efficient service on the staff, each member is eligible for a letter, and a pen after the fourth semester. Graduating members of the staff are: Ardesta Campbell, editor-in-chief: Ralph Mitchell, boys' sports editor: Earl Coffman, columnist for the Voice of the Students: Edith McFarland, exchanges: Lucyle Dallas, Arby Iohnson, and Mildred Mann. Miss Ernelle Bowles and Mr. Iames Lucas are sponsors of these journalistic minded scribes. Page Forty-two lllllia DIVISIIIN Miss Marie O'Keefe's division was the only 4A division to reach the 1002 mark during the Activity Drive. Their picture appears on the opposite page. 1 BETA IILUB The Beta Club was organized by Mrs. Ida Taylor Iones. at the Wendell Phillips High School in 1925. The original club was composed of twenty-nine junior and senior girls who assisted in the library. The club at present has a membership of fifty-two students, boys and girls, sponsored by Mrs. Irma F. Clarke, librarian. Before a student is accepted on the staff he must meet certain qualifica- tions. He must have an average of or above, interest in library work, a period per day to work, and be recommended by his division teacher or some other teacher who knows him personally. The purpose of the Beta Club is to acquaint the members with the different library facilities, to give instruction regarding the library, to plan effective library services, and to provide some social contact among the student assistants. A student who becomes a library assistant renders a valuable service to the school, his library, and his fellow students. At the beginning of each semester, the new members are initiated into the organization in a most amus- ing manner. When a student has completed three semesters of faithful and high quality work in the library and rnet certain other requirements of the Beta Club, he is awarded a school letter in recognition of the services he has rendered. The club officers are Theodore Steele, president: Evelyn Dukes, vice- president: Lilorene Long, secretary: Ben Barnett, sergeant-at-arms: Harrison Duke, treasurer: and Anthony Mayo, reporter. ibm., . . Page Fortyfthree THE SENIIJH CLEC CLUB There are about two hundred members in the Senior Glee Club, which under the efficient direction of Dr. Mildred Bryant-Iones has received favorable commendation from some of the music critics in the city and state. The group has sung at many school assemblies. Some of the most outstanding achievements of the Senior Glee Club are the appearances at the University of Illinois and on two radio programs, one at WLS and the other at WMAQ. This organization has also sung at the Provident Hospital, at every graduation program, and has been featured with the band at concerts given in our school. In 1937 the Senior Glee Club presented an opera directed by Dr. Bryant- Iones, and this year it sung at the All Chicagoland High School Music Festival. This semester the club has sung under the direction of Miss Edna Smith while Dr. Bryant-Iones is studying. Page Forty-four CIHLS' ELEC CLUB The Girls' Glee Club was formed by Miss Edna Smith in September of 1937. This club has sung at the Spring Music Festival, on the Parent-Teachers' Association programs, with the Senior Chorus at graduation and at an Armistice Day assembly. The organization meets every clay, but a special club meeting is held every two weeks when the hidden ta1ent shows itself. These meetings are governed entirely by the students. Gertrude Lucas is the pianist. The officers are: Margaret Harris, president: Mary Powell, secretary: and Mildred Burson, treasurer. SPECIAL VIIICE CLI-ISS The Special Voice Class, composed of more than fifty voices, was organized by Dr. Mildred Bryant-lones. This group is the nucleus of the Senior Chorus, and has been praised by some of the leading musicians and music critics. The success of this class has been due to the work and expert guidance of Dr. Bryant-lones. The Special Voice Class has participated in many school assemblies. It has sung on the High School Hour on Radio Station WLS and the High School Party of the Air on Station WMAQ. Another outstanding achievement was its participation in the All Chicago- land High School Music Festival last spring. Miss A. Brooks is sponsoring the Special Voice Class in the absence of Dr. Bryant-Iones who is on a sabbatical leave. Page Fortyhve PHESHMAN SLEE IILUB THE SENIIIB SIHLS' IILUH The Senior Girls' Club is one of the largest and most active organizations at Du Sable. It was organized in 1937 as a successor to the Girls' Reserves, which disbanded with a membership of about fifty. Miss Clara Anderson and Miss Reilly were the first sponsors. The present membership is about one hundred. Sponsors are Mrs. Lydia De Priest and Mrs. Helen Harris. Membership is open to all junior and senior girls. The program of the club is four-point in its scope: social, social service, health, and cultural. Mr. Willard says of the club, Whenever I have a hard job to be done, I give it to the Senior Girls' Club. Some highlights in the past activities are: the Christmas toy project, several interesting lectures by the outstanding speakers, the Easter fashion show, and unique parties. A 1939 innovation was the freshman frolic. At this almost five hundred freshman girls were entertained by their senior big sisters. The party was most successful and will be continued as the official welcome to the freshman girls. Page Forty-six The Freshman Glee Club was organized last semester under the super- vision of Miss Norine Mulvihill. At the time of organization there were seventy-five members. The purpose of this club is to prepare the freshmen for the Senior Glee Club and the Special Voice Class. The Freshman Glee Club has performed at the University of Chicago and in our auditorium. The students of Du Sable will not soon forget the splendid rendition of Franz Liszt's operetta, Chanita, which was given last spring, and our Armistice Day assembly this year by this young group of excellent singers. THE SENIIIH SIIILS' CHRISTMAS PIIIIJEIIT The Senior Girls' Club distributed toys this year to the neighborhood hospitals. On the opposite page is a picture of them and some of the toys. J, ,Q ,4 '7 QJVV n 5' THE FBENCH CLUB Le Cercle Francais consists of a group of French students who are eager to speak French fluently. They are interested in the cultural advantages of the language. At the meetings the members play such games as Les Nombres and Qu'est ce Que C'est? They also sing French songs and present French plays. During past semesters the Club has visited the Art Institute and attended a performance of Le Barbier de Seville. The group is under the supervision of Miss Edith Collom. LATIN CLUB The Latin Club is one of the oldest organizations in Du Sable and 1S primarily composed of upper classmen who have taken under their guidance a group of lower classmen from the Latin classes. The latter are called The Little Latin Friends. Both groups are interested in this language and 1n the cultural advantages it offers. This year the club has a new sponsor because of the retirement of its former one, Mrs. Mary S. Hamilton. The present sponsor is Miss Nelmatilda L. Ritchie. The officers are: Mardell C. Rodgers, president: Lillian Burbridge vice president: Eugene Ball, reporter: Barbara Dawson, sergeant-at-arms and Irma Dawson, chairman of program committee. PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB The Public Speaking Club, sponsored by Mr. George R Dorsey is com posed of the public speaking class and former members of that class Each member is trained to give a forceful discourse on almost any subject The purpose of this club is to coach its members in the following ways to pronounce and enunciate distinctly: to have command of the audience s atten tion: and to feel at ease before a group. Public speakers realize that verbal speeches are more effective than printed ones. The European dictators put over their important points to the audience by emphasizing them with forcefulness thus the listeners are persuaded to do as the speakers wish. Members of this organization understand this and strive to impress and sway our school audiences in a similar manner. Page Forty-eight Page Forfy-nine INFIJRMATIIIN STAFF May I help you?

The membership at present is two hundred. Specific duties of the members are to purchase tickets for the students in their divisions, to encourage students of their respective divisions to buy Activity Books, and to have charge of all the money which is passed from the students to Mr. Oscar Randall, sponsor of the Business Managers' Club. Each semester about sixteen hundred dollars are turned in to Mr. Randall by the business managers.

Page Fifty-two Page Fifty-three NECHU HISTIIHY CLUB HORACE POWELL The Negro History Club was organized in 1939 by some members of Mr. Samuel Stratton's United States History Class. The fundamental purpose of this club is to acquaint its members with the part played by the Negroes in different phases of civilization and to gain knowledge of racial and interracial problems of Negroes. The membership of the club last semester was one hundred and fifty and has increased this semester to one hundred and seventy-five. This indicates its popularity. Last semester there were many excellent speakers, among whom was Major Iohn R. Lynch, author of Facts of Reconstruction. The activities for this semester have been varied. We had an excellent talk by the librarian of the Hall Branch Library, Miss Harsh. This talk inspired us to compile a bibliography. The work was done by Susie Lacey and Lucille Dallas. It included lists of books from the school library and the Hall Branch, written by Negroes and about Negroes. Several hundred copies of this bibliography were made. Other activities were: a dis- cussion on South Side housing conditions and cr review of the book, The Miseducation of the Negro, by Carter Woodson, which was given by Horace Powell. Intimate, pleasant relationships have also been established between this club and the Student Forum. Officers for this semester are: Hassan Khan, president: Christine Cobbins, secretary: Almeta Myers, treasurer: and Mattie Poindexter, reporter. Page Fifty-four THE PHYSICS CLUB Three years ago Mr. Lucas, teacher of Physics, suggested that all students interested in this subject form a club in order to get a more intimate knowledge of this science. In addition to hearing worth-while guest speakers, one of whom was Paul E. Iohnson, a noted Negro inventor, the twenty-two members have visited such places of interest in the city as the Planetarium and the Lighting Institute. Morris Proffitt is president of the club: Dorothy Tate, secretary: and Mr. Lucas still its sponsor. THE CAMERA CLUB Hold it! No, that isn't the name of a new dance, it's something that you might hear from any member of the Camera Club, at almost anytime at good old Du Sable High. The Camera Club has gone a long way since it was organized by Mr Nelson E. Woodley two years ago. His objective was to teach the members to make and develop pictures, and to appreciate photography. Some of the work of the Camera Club has appeared in the school paper The Recorder. The Camera Club now has about twenty members with membership increasing every semester. The officers are: William Anderson president: Mattie Houdy, vice president: La Verne Washington secretary and Mattie May Johnson, sergeant-at-arms. .Q AQ f g Page Fifty-five Page Fifty-six PUB PETE'5 BAKE ''Hong-jer-mong-jer-mong! Thus did Peter Pepperdine and Bill Bradshaw keep the bespectacled Thorndyke Murglethorpe under their thumbs. The antics of these three lively boys furnished the material for the three-act comedy, For Pete's Sake, which was produced by the Dramatics A class of the Du Sable High School on Ianuary 18, 1940. When Peter's Atmt Sarah decided to go to the Holy Land and leave Peter at home to be coached in Latin by Muggsy, the fun began. Peter and his pal Bill rented the Pepperdine mansion to Georgiana Clarkston, Aunt Sarah's arch enemy. Disguised as servants, Peter and Bill hoped to spy on their girls, Nadine and Peggy Clarkston, to determine how serious were the intentions of Banker Bolivar and Dupont Darby. To force the cooperation of Iasmine, the superstitious cook, the boys had to turn Grandfather Pepperdine's ghost loose in the house. The incredulity of Malvina Potts and Dean Murglethorpe tMuggsy's uncle! caused the boys serious trouble. But real complications arose when Aunt Sarah unexpectedly returned home to find the Clarkstons and three sinister looking servants fPeter as the butler, Bill as the hay-fever gardener, and Muggsy as the flirting housemaidl installed in her house. Eventually Bill was acclaimed a hero when he rescued Peter and Muggsy from this trio, but even his heroism could not save Peter from the despised Latin!

This class once a month holds a class period meeting called The Free Lance Fratority. The students supervise themselves. Some of the outstanding drawings of this class are: Du Sable At Work, by Percy Brown, Music In The Band Room, drawn by Ernest Pringle, a graduating senior, and Art and Music Combined, by Vincent Cullers. Each Monday the above mentioned artists plus ten others attend classes conducted by Dudley Crafts Watson at the Art Institute. Miss Helen Wick is the teacher of the advanced figure drawing class. Page Fifty-eight BRUSH AND PALETTE IILUR Beauty and originality are the aims of the Brush and Palette Club. To be successful artists are their sincerest ambition. This club has gained city wide recognition. Many paintings and drawings have been on exhibition in Du Sable, the Main Library and the Hall Branch. One picture drawn by a member of the club appeared in the Chicago Tribune. Some of the best artists in the school are in the Brush and Palette Club. With the encouragement and help of Miss Switzer, its sponsor, the members of this club feel that they are bound to succeed. Leroy Samuels is the 1939-40 president. P. T. A. Du Sable has one of the finest P.T.A. organizations in the city of Chicago. It has membership with the national and state organizations, and the Local High School Council. In March of 1935 it was organized at the request of the Student Council. Among its many outstanding achievements of the semester are: aid which it has given other community organizations in getting an addition to the school which is now under way, and establishing a clothing center for the boys and girls of Du Sable. The purpose of this organization is to interpret the school to the community and to give parent education. The following are officers: Mrs. Thelma Searcy. president: Mrs. Clara Langston, lst vice-president: Mrs. Adlean Cobb, 2nd vice-president: Mrs. Eloise Dukes, recording secretary: Mrs. Nina Iohnson, corresponding secre- tary: and Mr. Charles Pierce, treasurer. ,..A,- ,....,.,.,.....s6 ' s Page Fifty-nine f , W V 1 '5 4. THE PANTHEH5 Under the able leadership of Coach B. H. Mosby, and Capt. Ralph Mitchell, the Du Sable football squad closed its 1939 season with its best record in three years. Playing against the toughest of competition and suffering greatly from the lack of reserves, the Panthers managed to win four, and tie one out of ten games. Outstanding men on the squad were: Capt. Ralph Mitchell, whom Coach Mosby considers the greatest captain Du Sable ever had: Co-capt. Charles Crump, powerful running half: Herman Hagan, tackle: and lack Gibson, center. Also very popular was the quarterback, Tanzel Govan, who although unable to play during the 1939 season, was team publicity man broadcasting the last game between Du Sable and Tulsa, Okla., and Lexington, Ky., respectively. Another popular member of the squad, and high point man for the season, who scored 60 points, was Gilbert Moto Johnson, a junior. BASKETBALL The 1939-40 basketball team is looking forward to a great season under our new coach, Dr. Morris Berk. The Senior Team is getting into shape with the return of eight letter men They are: Capt. Leon Wright, Co-capt. Bob Bailey. Walter Hardison Nathaniel Clifton, Oscar Green, Pete Wilson, Marion Iames, and Arthur Taylor The Iunior Team has only three returning letter men They are Capt Hurshall Willis, Co-capt. Charles Flowers, and Roscoe Smiley The keen interest and support shown by the student body has put renewed vigor into the teams, and Du Sable promises to be proud of the 1940 basketball teams. Page Sixty-two S if ' r. Page Sixty-three UNDEFEATEIJ SEA HIJBSES The Du Sable Sea Horses have the unique distinction among the athletic groups of the school of being undefeated in dual meets since their organization in 1936 by their versatile coach, Mr. Mackie. The current season shows their strength still undiminished as new members are coached to new prominence. With such strong swimmers as Captain Leroy Hines, Calvin Flanagan. Wesley Ward, Fred Lyda, lack Hall, and Ioseph Lewerette as mainstays and the addition of Tom Rice, McNair Grant, Clarence Wade, and Harry Anderson to back up Diver James Ivory and Manager Iames Smith, the Sea Horses have taken in stride teams from Manley, Amundsen, Farragut, and Roosevelt of Gary, Indiana. Each year hundreds of boys enter the Ten Mile Marathon. All who finish receive Sea Horse medals. The 1939 winner was Calvin Flanagan, closely followed by Ward and Lyda. Most of the boys who complete their Senior Life Saving Tests receive life guard positions during the summer months. The Sea Horses look to newcomers to maintain and surpass the standards they have established. Best of luck to our best team! THE THINELAD IJ-U15 The Thinclads due to the loss of several stars were looking forward to one of their darkest seasons of track competition. But a ray of hope showed itself when Capt. Iames Iones, the only letter man to return to Coach Hillman this semester, blossomed forth as a sensation. The Red and Black clad lads managed to get an even break in four dual meets, and placed fourth in the City Cross Country meet on Armistice Day This feat alone is considered by Coach Hillman a highly successful season considering the fact that his team was composed of boys who have never competed in track events before. The Thinclad lads are: Captain Iames Iones, Harold Anderson Iames Wells, Harold Tanner, lean Emmons, Vernon Bolden, Willie Iohnson Donald Carter, Maurice Miller, Herbert Hartwell, Henry Edwards, Frank Strawhorn and Clifford Ellis. THE EENIIINB ELUH The newest organized club in Du Sable is the Fencing Club Under the direction of Dr. Morris Berk, basketball coach, the club held its first meeting on Tuesday, December 5, 1939. On this date the electron of officers was held and George Clark was made president. The Fencing Club expects to learn the fundamentals of fencing to the extent that they can successfully compete with other fencing teams in different high schools. Page Sixty-four Page Sixty-five B. I-l. A. The Girls' Athletic Association, better known as the G. A. A., is a city wide federation. This organization, of which Mrs. Lessing is sponsor at Du Sable, is well on its way toward its goal of a hundred per cent membership. Members are eligible to earn these as honor awards: medals. pins. chevrons, and bars. Members of the G. A. A. must have E averages in scholarship and good posture. A school letter is awarded to each girl who has qualified for the letter by earning the required number of points. Medical and dental examinations must also be passed. The members of this organization engage in team games, basketball. quoits, ping-pong, volley ball, shuffle board tournaments and other recreational pleasures. We at Du Sable think when a G. A. A. member graduates she has received lessons in good sportsmanship, citizenship, and good health. Officers are Almeta Myers, president: Ella Mae Iohnson, secretary: Thelma Meadows, treasurer: and Serena Graves, sergeant-at-arms. Page Sixty-six THE GYM ASSIST!-INTS CLUB One of the greatest achievements of the Girls' Athletic Association has been to sponsor the Gym Assistants' Club. The gym assistants are members of the G. A. A. who have excelled in leadership, sportsmanship, and neatness. Before becoming a full fledged member of this organization, one must be willing to spend extra hours assisting the gym teachers with their large classes and do other clerical work. The hardest time for gym assistants is the probationary period. A person in this category usually goes through a series of initiatory-rites. The proba- tioners must do everything that is commanded by their superiors. Mrs. Ruth Brunner. the new sponsor, is receiving excellent co-operation from the girls. The officers are: Ruth Taylor, president: Evelyn Lankford, secretary: Nellie Lonzo, treasurer: Herma Hall, sergeant-at-arms. Page Sixty-seven FI-'IIIERS STAFF Regimental Commander LT.

C. of the Du Sable High School has moved forward at a rapid pace since its organization in Ianuary of 1935. The unit has won many honors. In the spring semester of 1939, The Competitive Platoon under the command of Capt. Iohn McLean, won fourth place in the annual drill competing with twenty-six other units. In the same semester the unit was selected as one of the ten honor units of the city, thus enabling the boys to wear the prized honor star. In the following semester the unit was presented a trophy by the heavy weight champion of the world, Ioe Louis. Under the direction of the military instructor, Sgt. F. A. Wildforster, many new activities have been instigated. Two of these are the Zouaves and the Singing Cadets. Both of these units have appeared on many school programs. The Zouaves are a group of cadets comprising a fancy drill team, and are under the command of Capt. Raymond McEwen. The members of the Singing Cadets are: Major Alfred Cannon, Capt. Albert Logan, Capt. Iohn McLean, lst Lt. Erskine Moore, and Sgt. Early Roberts. The unit also has an excellent rifle team, the outstanding members of which are: Major Alfred Cannon, Capt. Iohn McLean, lst Lt. Erskine Moore. lst Lt. Daniel Moulden, and lst Sgt. Rieford Campbell. 1 3 Page Sixty-nine Page Seventy CLASS HISTUHY Gee! What a swell school with no teachers in the hall to push you along to your next class, exclaimed eager freshmen in Ianuary, 1936. We were conspicuous because of bewildered looks on our faces, as we entered the long corridors of lean Baptiste Pointe Du Sable High School. Upper class- men seeking fun constantly played tricks on us, but their interest in pranks soon died and we found ourselves taking part in the regular routine and imitating the seniors. Two important events occurred during our first semester. Inspired by pep talks given by upper classmen, we did our part in making the first activity drive of the school a success. During the middle of this term, we also had the opportunity of submitting names for our school paper, which after due consideration, became the Du Sable Recorder. As sophomores, we found interests in many extra curricular activities. These included the Reserve Officers' Training Corp, basketball, football, swimming, track, band, volley ball and various clubs. Each of these required an abundance of extra work. Strangely enough, each of the members of our class wanted to lead in his field, for we found that graduation took many of the leaders, leaving new positions open for those who tried for them. By no means was all of our time spent in these group activities. We wanted to become members of the Du Sable Honor Society and thus worked for high scholastic awards. We also learned that pre-registration was an advantage derived from excellent scholarship. Our library and study halls became over crowded with those of us who were athirst for knowledge. As we climbed higher on the scholastic ladder we appreciated more and more the efforts set forth by our faculty under the leadership of our principal, Mr. C. C. Willard. Du Sable's concert band's competition with high schools of the city. resulted in an S rating and third place. Our undefeated swimming team, the Sea Horses, maintained its unbroken record. Plans for Senior Week were made and carried out to the minute, and our life was a gala affair that week. The seniors participating in the Senior Play put it over with a bang. During our four years at Du Sable, we have strived to get every possible benefit from the advantages set before us. We feel that by graduation, we have taken another step on the ladder of success. Assured that our efforts have not been in vain, we will always cherish the memories of our four years at Du Sable. Ianuary of the ensuing year found us juniors and our greatest expectation was to be fulfilled as hosts and hostesses to the seniors, at the traditional Iunior Prom. To let the Prom go by without great preparation was unheard of by us. Not neglecting our studies, we prepared anxiously for the day. It was at this point that we felt genuinely mature, for we were called together for our first meeting in order to nominate Prom officers. The affair was a big success as we had anticipated. Time passed rapidly, for we soon entered our senior year. Although we had been Du Sableites for three years, it seemed only yesterday that we were freshmen. Finding ourselves in the midst of a class election, we looked forward to .............. Graduation. Our class added to Du Sab1e's record new honors. Its R.O.T.C. Unit was for the first time in the history of its existence an honor unit, holding fourth position in competition with 27 other high schools. lt was also presented with a bronze trophy by the world's heavyweight champion, Ioe Louis, for outside co-operation.

We shall look back on days long past When friends and school brought joys untold, And school dreams were things our hearts held fast. Perhaps we'1l shed some foolish tears, And feel a sad regret or two For all those joyful, but vanished yesteryears And happy school days that once we knew. Perhaps when time has had its way. And youth has hurried past our door, Love for our school shall ne'er decay, We'll be dreaming of our school days more and more.
