WALDO, SUPERINTENDENT In sending out a graduating class, East High owes much of the credit to genial, jovial, kind-hearted Mr. Waldo, superintendent of the east side schools. Harking back through our high-school days, we remember with a smile the painstaking letters we wrote Mr. WValdo, telling him of our hopes and ambitions in life. That was in Junior High. four years ago, but Mr. Waldo kept every single letter in anticipa- tion of the senior banquet, when the letters were again produced, to be read among smiles and memories. How earnest we were, and how confident! lwr. YValdo is especially close to the hearts of Iiast High stu- dents, for he was their principal from 1914 to 1928, at which time he took the office of superintendent. The latter position he has held for six years with great success, and we all hope he will continue to serve for many more years. M1'. VValdo is prominent in Illinois school affairs, having held the oflice of president of the lllinois Teachers' Association. He is also well known in Aurora circles, being a member of the Lions' Club, as well as serving on the Boards of Directors of the Y.lVI.C.A.. the Improvement Building Sc Loan Association, and the Juvenile Protective Association. As we go out into the world to conquer, we shall carry with us the memory of our superintendent, who has always been ready to extend a helping hand, and whose guiding influence will remain with us in years to come. O. V. WALTERS, PRINCIPAL For four years the Ship of 193-if has sailed through stormy waters in which lurked unseen reefs to throw us off the course and disable us. At last, however, we see the open sea and clear water ahead, as graduation day approaches. At that time our Ship will drop its able pilot who has so successfully guided us through dangerous waters, and we will be on our own. Mr. VValters has been our blaster Pilot for these four years, and due to his influence and intelligence we have come through with flying colors. The lessons in navigation he has taught will be invaluable to us, and his guidance will extend far beyond our four years with him. When not absorbed in plotting our course, Mr. Walters has often turned to aid us in our own personal troubles, and in such moments did we greatly appreciate his friendship, and his wise advice. Perhaps we were not always in accord with his views, but later days taught us that he was right, and we silently paid tribute to his judgment. An orator of no mean ability, Mr. Walters is prominent not only in matters of education, but has held several offices which only men of merit and integrity could successfully fill, and is known to community and state as a man of initiative and leadership. Graduation day, and open water ahead! We drop our pilot and with deep regret continue alone on unchartered seas. llflr. Walters, a firm believer in student government, has trained us in the navigation of our Ship, and we are confident. I ull of hope, we say: Full-speed ahead! FAC U LTY AARON ALBRIGHT, B.S.

CURRICULUM Doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief, stenographer, teacher, cook, dressmaker, housewife-elementary training for all these occupations and many others is offered in the East High curriculum. Both cultural and practical subjects are offered the students, for both are necessary when he tries to make his own living. English is one of the most essential courses. Four years of English are required of every student. During the first two years he studies composition and grammar besides various classics. Third year English is devoted to American Literature. To com- plete the fourth year of English required for grad- uation, one has a choice of many electives. Two of these are English VII and Vlll, which comprise a study of English Literature from the early legendary writers to the present poet laureates. Cther elec- tives are journalism, which deals with newspaper publications, public speaking, which is really a course in effective speaking, and Business English, a sub- ject devoted to the study of the business vernacular, business writings, and salesmanship. Four sciences are included in the school's cur- riculum. General science is compulsory. lt gives the basic principles of all sciences and supplies the student with a wealth of practical knowledge of ordinary things. Biology, chemistry, and physics are laboratory sciences and elective. Biology is the science of animal and plant life and furnishes one with a thorough knowledge of the everyday func- tions of his own body. ln chemistry the elements and all their properties are made applicable to ordi- nary living. Physics is the science dealing with mechanics, heat, light, sound, and electricity. This, like the other sciences, contains much valuable infor- mation for John Doels life. Two years of Latin, Spanish, German, and French are offered here. The first is considered a dead language and is studied chiefly as a funda- mental to the English language. The other three are taught to be spoken so that a person having taken one of the courses can speak the language as fluently as a native. Each of these language courses sponsors a club to which all students taking the course, are eligible. The social sciences taught at East High are American history, world history, civics, and eco- nomics. The Hrst is a very interesting study of our country from the time of its discovery to the close of the World War. Students have discovered that a country's history can be interesting, proving the old adage, Truth is stranger than fiction. World History is a birdls eye view of the activities and development of man from the cave dwellers to the present day. Economics, a study of the economic and industrial organization of the United States, is a subject which is very applicable and valuable at a time when our country is in such serious economic conditions. A study of modern American problems and the political setup of the United States is civics. One year of social science is compulsory for gradua- tion, but the subjects are elective. Included in the mathematics department are arith- metic, algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigo- nometry. Arithmetic is fundamentally the same in high school as in grade school though more advanced in treatment. Algebra l and II take up the solving of equations for the unknown. Advanced Algebra is, as its name implies, an advanced course in algebra. Plane and Solid Geometry deal with the study of lines, angles, polygons, and circles. Trigonometry is chiefly a preparatory course in engineering. The commercial department is becoming more and more important at East High and includes many valuable subjects for the student who is planning to enter the business world. Typing is a subject which every student, regardless of his post graduate expectations, should include in his course of study, because of its usefulness in every kind of work. Bookkeeping acquaints the student with transactions and terms he comes in contact with every day, be- sides a general knowledge of business. Four semes- ters of shorthand are offered, the fourth being very much like a regular office routine. Art may be taken as a major or a minor, depend- ing upon the amount of laboratory periods. The first art course deals with lettering, design and color through the use of the alphabet, and the sketching of figures, outdoor scenes, and still life. Art ll takes up the history of art, commercial art, posters, and water color paintings of outdoor scenes and still life. The practical subjects for girls are home course, sewing, cooking, and home nursing. Those for boys are manual training, mechanical drawing, and print- ing. The home course is a study of planning a home, its site, type of architecture, and interior decorating, and of budgeting household finances. Home nursing instructs girls in tending to sick members of their family. The printing department prints the issues of the Auroran and practically all school programs, tickets, etc. Besides the band, the orchestra, and the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, which are extra-curricular acti- vities, the music department offers courses in music appreciation and harmony. Physical training is required of every student for four semesters unless he brings a permit signed by a doctor to excuse him. ln these gymnasium classes the students not only participate in sports, but learn the essentials of correct posture and keeping in good physical condition. 2 E 5 g S, 3 s , i 2 S 9? i 3 I 2 Q 2 I ..6,., sl ULIQS BARN AT, l'1'e.rir1'er1I There is really no end to the qualifications that stamped jules Barnat as the natural choice for the presidency of the Senior Class. A background of extra curricular activities, along with natural pleasantness, developed him into the line leader that he is. His two years of forensic experience as a prominent clebator proved invaluable to him as president. Likewise, his willingness to serve, along with his ability to lead, brought him the orhce of vice-president in our Student Council. BOB UESTIQR, Iliff'-l,7'?SlIlt'IIf Bob Oester, vice-president of the Senior Class, has been one of our best liked leaders. He proved the ability to assume his many duties by earning a place on the honor roll sev- eral times during his four years. ln his junior year, Hob rose from the position of sports reporter to editor-in-chief of the Auroran, a hi-monthly publication. His ready smile won for him a membership in Hi-Y and his journalistic skill secured his introduction into Quill and Scroll and Press Club. BlQ'l1TY MCLALLEN, Secretary-Trefzsllrfr Betty Mac!-VVe're going to write a story about you! Finally convinced of our earnestness, the merry-eyed secretary of the Class of '34 be- came her helpful self and admitted that she had been on the honor roll several times, a Delphi secretary, the French Club's vice-president, an Auroran staff member, and a popular participant of nearly every activity of her class and school. VVe appreciate Betty's leadership, but that does not overshadow our appreciation of her sweet character. SENIOR ADVISERS Miss GALBRA11'H MR. A'1'T1o Miss lVIAR'l'ENS MR. GEIL Miss TURNER MR.

ATTORN EYS: RUTH Joiixsox RALPH EBERLY SENIOR CLASS PROPI-IECY 1950! Just sixteen years since our graduation from East High. As the old saying goes, VVhat a lot of water has passed over the dam since thenlll Let's take a run out to the Rah! Rah! lyloving Picture Studios, Incorporated, in Berrystone, where many of our classmates are trying to earn their bread and water. Luckily our passes get by Poker Facey' Fred Klebe, the doorman at the Rah! Rahl Studios. Right behind him is his stooge, Oscar Truemper, who helps Fred when business is rushing. Stanley Edwards and Glenn Jeffers, the studio chauffeurs, take charge of our cars, because we are going to make this trip on foot so we will not miss anything. First letls stop in to see President Bob Trimble. Louis Jakious, the office boy, tries to tell us the president is busy and can't see us, but he isnlt big enough to stop our onward progress. The presi- dentys secretary, Violet Schramer, also informs us the president is in conference, but we snap our fingers and continue into his private office. We peek in and see that he is sawing wood with his feet propped upon his desk. Well, we had better leave well enough alone. In the outer office are many of our old classmates waiting a chance to interview the Uchiefll about a position. The nervous girl sitting on the edge of the first seat is Ann Marie Cornell, a W. C. T. U. speaker, who wants to make a serial entitled: The Evils of Thirstf, On the other side of the room is little Marion Rubenstein, the daredevil motorcycle rider. The two cheerleaders, Donald Zander and Bob Oberwise, are going through their gymnastics in one corner of the office. They hope to become to the Rah! Rahl Studios what the roaring lion is to M-G-M. Sitting by the window is A1 Franzen, who ob- tained a chance to enter movies by winning the nation-wide and continent-long contest, sponsored by the Palmolive Soap Company. A1 was adjudged of having the best 'iskin you love to touch. Arthur Jensen ran a close second, but he did not have as rosy cheeks as Al did. Art forgot his bread crusts for a whole week. Tskl The sixth and last visitor is Loraine Brady, rep- resenting the School Teachers Union for the Better- ment of the English Grammar Used by the Actors and Actresses on the Moving Picture Screen before Children of School Age. So much for the presidentls office. Now we will take an inspection tour of the various sets where pic- tures are being made, and ruined, too. Irene Backstrom and Robert Richards are work- ing strenuously these days having retakes made on the big love scene in the picture, Move on Rouge. lrene's voice is well adapted to the vitaphone. Manley Perry, who was so capable of carrying a hundred odd jobs at school, is the director of this picture as well as practically all the other movies made by this studio. Don Tellefsen is his Hyesn man. Charlotte Eiselben is the chief Rahl Rah! scenario writer, while Jean Hannon and Janet ll'IclVIicken handle the costumes and designing. All of these girls received exprience for their respective work in high school. At the cameras are Lowell and Norman Buln-man. These boys are making good at this work because their easy-going dispositions tend to cool off the traditionally temperamental stars. Leola Tews, Harriet Qlson, Erna Stallman are the girls who tend to everything from pins to sky- scrapers, seeing that they are where they should be when they should be there. They are more com- monly known as property girls. Over there on the set looking something like the interior of a tavern are Jean Smith and Kenneth Christian. Kenneth has just returned from a few years' vacation and again he is playing with Jean. The name of the picture? Ch, yesl Queen Christmas. Bernice Rockabrandls new cinema, 'Tve No Angle, will be started sometime next week. Elmer Rausch will play opposite her if he returns from his honeymoon in time. Mrs. Rausch was the former Mildred Kastoll. The lions which Bernice tames in this picture are John Almasi, John Barber, Car- roll Harkins, Ross Webster, and Lyle Leek-in disguise. They are filming the cellophane number from Waltzing Lady in Which Florence Couve stars on Set 5 now. Frank Smith is FIorence's newest leading man. Jack Connors is making a big hit in the numbers in which he dances with the leading ladv. From here we walk a few blocks to a set-up of a large city. Itls marked: Frank Balla--The Show Off And Howlll However, two workers there, John Crow and Gilbert Buttles, inform us that the production is held up while they hunt for a new leading lady, Ethel Eriksen walked out the other day because they wouldn't let her chew gum on the set. The sound of clanking chains draws us toward a penitentiary set where Anthony Boyle is busy hew- ing out stones along the wall. The name of the movie, subject to change, is I Was a Link in a Chain Gang. Something stronger than the sound of clanking chain calls us now. lt's our stomachs crying out to be filled. We were so engrossed in our trip we forgot about lunch. Anyway, not much is doing now, for the players also must eat. Let's take a run and a jump over to the Silk Top Hat, one of the most popular restaurants in Berry- stone. We ought to see many of our classmates, for anybody who is anybody here either eats or works at the Sik Top Hat. Orlando Schmahl is the head chef of the restau- rant. His assistant is Dorothy Slaker. Between them they make out some delicious menus. Shoenail soup is one of their favorite dishes. The waitresses here include Myrtle Dowey, Evelyn Cusic, Viola Hemm, Georgia Goerner, LaVyrne Kreitz, Jean Halmagyi, and Emma Voltman. They all wear black dresses with white aprons and silk top hats and look as if they might be extras in a musical comedy. The stars dance to the low, rythmic music of Bob Hesselbaum and his Sour Six. The members of this dance orchestra are all members of the class of '34, They are: Carl Fauth, who plays the radiog Her- bert Gatske, his ear drums, Walter Johnson, on the linoleumg Dean Sadler, a shoe horn, and Don Testin, hookey. Edith Ernst is the orchestra's pianist and Edyth Burkel, the torch singer. When the band strikes up, everyone arises, regardless of what course they are eating and walks onto the dance floor-and out the door. However, today is some kind of holiday. Every- one stays and some are dancing. We'll take a booth off to one side so we can watch everybody. The first ones on the Hoor are Howard Fauth and Rosella Barbel, his wife. They are often re- ferred to as the happiest couple in Berrystone. Over there is Jane Elfervig, who is very distin- guished looking after having won the title of the perfectly poised movie star, lunehing with her stand-in, Violet Pederson. Marian Merritt, the best-dressed woman in Berrystone, is dancing with Roy Solfisburg, who just obtained his third divorce. Divorcee No. 3 is Marian Boyd. Don Barclay, creator of the famous Michael Rodent comedies, is entertaining Michael and his sweetheart Elmina today. In real life Michael and Elmina are Bob DeWolf and Mary Olar. Betty Trimble, who is smashing all box-office rec- ords by her marvelous character portrayals, just walked in. With her is Mary Godfrey, another ..29.. character player. lWary's latest is 'fLady for a Day and a Halfng The Early Columbus Bean is Betty's current release. The most married woman in Berrystone, Ruth- anne Goddard, is dancing with a comparative new- comer, Jack Hall, So much time for lunch, for our trip isn't half over yet. Just as we leave the Silk Top Hat, we encounter the four lWarx brothers, Inc., walking arm-in-arm down the boulevard. ln case you have forgotten them they are Groucho, Jules Barnatg Zeppo, Erwin Kiesog Harpo, William Hill, Chico, Robert Haas. On the subject of comedians the Laurel and Hardy set is right across the way. But we can not go near it because it isn't good to have hysterics right after dinner. Laurel's and Hardyls names on their birth certificates are Carl Schwerer and Wil- bur Johnson, respectively. We next meet the two Bennett sisters, Goldie and Jessie, and Raymond f'Tarzan Burnell stroll- ing along to work. Oooohl Look! Dick Bastion, working on The Man on the Flying Trapeze , has to perform many breath-taking feats. For instance, when he hangs by his nose 758 feet above ground, it is enough to make anyone get the jitters. Playing opposite him is Doris Bowering, who also performs on the swing- ing bars. Orrin Anderson stands below with a net, ready to catch Doris. Another musical comedy is being filmed on a set a little farther down the lane. It is being played inside the Wrigley Building. The name of this picture is 'LGum Diggers of East High starring Peg Ellis and Shirley Howard. The squealing pigs announce the 'fNational Fairu set. Clarence Wolf is the star. The featured play- ers are Betty Walker, Jack Doppelhamer, Ed Schell- ing, and Sylvia Kish. ln the projection room they are showing some takes of Dick Williams' Too Little Harmonyug Adolph Schindel's David Scar 'Em g Al Spencer's Schnozzola g and Minard Utis and Merrit Ford's Skips, Skips, Hurrah! just beyond the projection room, another picture is being Hlmed, but we will have to save that for another trip, for there goes the whistle warning the visitors that in five minutes the gates will close. We have to hurry to get our car or else weill be shut in here all night. As we drive away we are blissfully happy at having seen so many of the old timers. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY lt so happened that on the fifth day of September in the year nineteen hundred and thirty, approxi- mately 350 very young and equally ignorant fresh- men, soon to be known as the class of ,S-l-, entered East High. It was indeed a grave task that con- fronted the faculty, but with a great sigh they took up their burden and as a result of four years of unceasing effort, have turned out another class no less successful than preceding ones. With all the odds against them, they set to work when they were Juniors to earn money to finance the various senior activities. With lkianley Perry as president, aided by Betty Trimble, vice-president, and Eleanor Stoner, secretary, they set to work to fill the treasury for future needs. The success of the Junior Class Play, entitled Rebecca of Sunny- brook Farmf' and of the St. Patrick's Hopf' pre- sented in March, netted them a neat profit with which to start the senior year. Early in September, 1933, the class of 3-ll' elected its new leaders. Jules Barnat, outstanding for his forensic ability, was elected president. to be assisted by Bob Oester as vice-president and Betty McLallen as secretary. With new hope and ambi- tion, Bob Trimble was appointed chairman of the finance committee, and thus under the guidance of Misses lylartens, Turner, and Galbraith, and Messrs. Stutz, Attig, Geil, and Gunderson, they faced their last year with their aim far ahead of them-the publishing of a 1934- Speculum despite the financial depression. The members unanimously voted to undertake the project without the financial aid of the mer- chants. The Senior Class Play, entitled The Late Christopher Bean,', was presented and pronounced unusually successful. The money from both the Junior and Senior plays along with that raised from numerous dances, candy sales, card parties. and Speculum subscriptions, financed the year book. From a group so large, it is not surprising that a number of them proved to be competent and promis- ing leaders in various helds. Those deserving credit for their scholastic ability number twelve. Landrith Parker, LaVerne Kreitz, Ruth Johnson, Carl Berkhout, Marion Burrell, Ruth Brinkman, Robert DeWolf, Connie Clare, Hildegard Fuchs, Betty McLallen, Virginia Rea- vell, and Jean Smith made either the high honor roll or honor roll every year. llfanley Perry was very prominent both in school and organization activities. He did out- standing work in debate, and in his Junior year represented East High in the literary meet. He was also president of Student Council, the leader of the Junior class and manager of the football team. Jules Barnat and Thais Hamil- ton also deserve recognition for their outstanding work in the forsenic field. Betty Trimble and Connie Clare both deserve recognition for their extra curricular activities. Betty was elected president of the Girls' Club in her Junior year, assisted by Connie Clare and Mar-- garet Ellis. All three did excellent work in both class plays. Connie stands out especially from the group for her remarkable musical ability. Edith Anderson was chosen president of the G. A. A. with Peg Ellis as vice president, and Mar- garet Bourelle, secretary. Several seniors did outstanding work in the liter- ary field. The Auroran staff was headed by Bob Cester, with excellent editorial work being done by Shirlye Frank and Martha Hargrave. Virginia Reavell, Betty Trimble, and Bob Hesselbaum headed the Press Club, the membership of which was made up chiefly of seniors chosen from the Auroran Staff. ln the athletic field several senior boys rose to new heights. Howard Eauth, president of the Boys' Club in his junior year, was also elected captain of the football team of f'33 . Uther prominent AH men on the team were Bill Hawking, Bill Johnson, A1 Eranzen, f'0ssie'l Eederspiel, Jack Connors, and John Miller. Hawking, Franzen, and Federspiel were elected to the all conference team at the end of the season, while Captain Eauth made the second all conference team. Louis Jakious led the pony eleven and was also chosen lightweight basketball captain. Glenn Jeffers and Stanley Ellert- son were also prominent figures in lightweight foot- ball. Jack Connors and Frank Smith did excellent work on the basketball fioor, as did Bob Oehrlein and Eddie Kaluza for the lightweight team. Both Bill Nunn and Paul Stuart made a name for them- selves in track. Thus, it is very evident, that as vacancies appeared among the various organizations and activities, members of the class of fuel ably stepped in and assumed the positions and responsibilities, and at the same time revealed their ability for leadership. It is likely that this graduating class contains a num- ber of tomorrow's leaders. At any rate, several of them bear watching in the near future. How different from the timid little group that entered East High four years ago are these 275 confident, hopeful students who have experienced the thrill of wearing a cap and gown, of receiving a diploma, and of being graduated from this school to go out into the world to make of ourselves what we will. W7hether we shall make our lives a suc- cess or a failure depends upon us alone. VVith glad hearts and happy memories of the past four years, We turn to the future, hopeful and confident of what it has in store for us. ROBERT REUSS, Presirirzzt A word for every friendg a friend for every viordf' 'I'hat's Bob Reuss, the leader of the class of '35, Not content with being the earnest student personified, Bob is extremely versatile, being prominent in nearly every extra-curricular field. Bob evidently believes in starting off on the right foot, for as a freshman he was a member of the Debate Squad and the Auroran Staff. To follow up his good lead, he was elected president of the Latin Club, and was moved to the A Debate team in his second year. As a junior he rounded out the year by assum- ing the multiple duties of sports editor of the Auroran, vice-president of the National Forensic League, captain of the Atlirmative Debate Squad, president of Student Council and also of the Junior Class. JACK SC H ULZ, Vire-I'w.via'f11f Jack Schultz is a quiet person, certainly he must have been destined to be vice-president of the junior Class. His quiet manner has carried him a long way, for in his three years of high school life, he has accomplished much to qualify him for a responsible position, As an honor student, a man of position, and a friend, jack has assumed several extra- curricular ol'l'ices. He has been president of the French Club, and an active memberlof Hi-Y, Debate and the Band, He also took a part in the junior Class Play. Seriously interested in the band, jack feels that someday this will be his life's work. ICVIQLYN FRISK, Serretnry-Treasurer '21 7' l'The best friend in the world! These words describe Evie to a 'I '. Her cheerful smile and happy disposition have caused her to be loved by everyone, and have aided her ieatl in becomin the splendid leader that she is It takes brains as well as personality to gf' y g . . .. . . be high in one's studies and to assume such responsibilities as Evelyn has. llowever, Evie has both of these along with an unusual amount of vitality which makes her active in athletics as Well as band work. She will always be remembered as the president of the Girls' Club, secretary of the Student Council, and as one of the leading reporters for the Auroran.

Section C, Miss Garbe The parting of the ways came for our section last January when we were divided among other groups to make room for the incoming Freshmen. Our section did not have a wealth of those much- coveted slips of paper known as superior notices, but Nathanael Hill made the high honor roll and sev- eral made the honor roll. Katharine Govai was elected head of the Spanish Club during the year. Francis Hearn was the heavy-weight basketball captain, as well as secre- tary-treasurer of the Boys' Club. lVIusical talent was represented by John Krauss, a member of the band and orchestra. Mzirgaret Jeffers and Robert Johnson played in orchestra and band respectively. ln girls, athletics lkiargaret Jeffers held the of- fices of junior basketball and volleyball captain. Two students, Thais Hamilton and Nathanael Hill, contributed their efforts to the debate club. On the Auroran staff, lris Miiiot Was active. She also belonged to the Press Club, and took part in the Biennial Variety Show. Daphne Johnson was an understudy in the Junior Class play and also had a part in the annual Christmas play, as did Francis Hearn and Robert Jungles.

If you get that close, they will think you are committee-members and start telling you what to do. That is what makes them good presidents. They are Robert Reuss, president of the Junior Class and the Student Council and Jack Schultz, president of French Club and vice president of the Junior Class.

High honor roll was made by Thomas Alder- sen, while the honor roll was attained by Harley Fredrickson, Hildegard Fuchs, and Evelyn Frisk. The people who represented our section in the Stu- dent Council were Evelyn Frisk and Robert Bur- kelg in the Boys' Club, Gilbert Brownell with Fred Carter as alternate, and in the Girls, Club. Gladys Emmerling was representative and Dorothy Dunn, alternate. VVe are very proud to have Evelyn Frisk in our section for besides being the president of the Girls' Club for the coming year, she has brought honor to us in many ways. Evelyn also acted as secretary- treasurer of the Student Council. Three members of our section, John Nieman, Gilbert and Daniel Brownell, took part in the min- strel show, Evelyn Frisk, in the Junior Class Play, and two, John Nieman and Evelyn Frisk, played in the Variety Show. Four of our number, Gilbert Brownell, john Nieman, Glen -ieiiers, Stan Ellert- son, were on the football squad and the latter was a member of the heavyweight basketball squad. Honor roll for perfect attendance was attained by Thomas Alderson, Fred Carter, Herbert Chudzic, and Hil- degarde Fuchs.-joHN NUQMAN. Section D, Miss l-loladay Our section has had an excellent scholastic record this year. We are second in the senior division, with an average of 3298, which is a great improvement over preceding years. This splendid record was made possible by a large number of A's and only one failure. David Sperry, Harold Schuldt, Valeria Seiten and Blarie Esser have been on the honor roll at times throughout the past three years. Arthur Grensky is the only possessor of a superior notice, which he received in Spanish l. lVIarie Esser played one of the leading parts in the Junior Class Play, and Lee Fenton took part in the Boys' Club hlinstrel. lyiary jane Gage was on the Auroran Staff and was also president oi junior Delphi and secretary-treasurer of the Girls' Commercial Club. Under the guidance of Lee Fenton, our section basketball team ranked third in the junior division of the intra-mural contest. ln the maior athletics we were represented by John Gerber, Ronald Rei- land, and Bob lfinleyvthe latter having received his numerals in football this season. lVe were also very proud to have had Virginia lfrenier on the girls' tennis team. Hlusically we are represented in the band by Ray Schwartz and Glen Travis, and in the or- chestra by Leona Cilltstili.-lvl.-XRIIE ESSER. Section D, Mr. Davis At least twelve members of our section deserve mention. Charleen Dauwalder is at present the representative to the Girls' Club while her sister, Evelyn, is the Student Council representative. John Bursh serves as president of the Flying Squadron besides holding a reporter's position on the Auro- ran Staff. Royce Book is our Boys, Club repre- sentative and we are all proud of our section presi- dent, Lennis Mitchell, who also holds the position of vice-president of the Flying Squadron. Jose- phine Ochsenschlager is the secretary-treasurer of the Girl Reserves in which she is an active member. Harriet Palmer is vice-president of the Archery Club and also shows marked artistic ability. None can compare with Roy Connor in handling the brush. The school is very proud to have in its pos- session a picture, drawn by Roy, of President Roose- velt, which the President has autographed and re- turned to the school. Great things are expected of Roy in the future. ' Arthur Moore holds quite a difficult position as chairman of the Publicity Committee of the Junior Class.

Section D, Mr. Blackman As we peer into the archives of Mr. Blackman's section, we gather the following information: ln the line of athletics our section was represented in football by those wee lads: Andy Sabados, Ed Phillips, and Russell Patterson, all of whom won awards. Andy Sabados was chosen on both the all-conference and all-state team, and was elected captain of the 3-1 team. In track we were repre- sented by Sabados and Patterson. Our section bas- ketball team, led by Donald Lange, had a very suc- cessful season, having won the Senior Division. Our section was by no means dormant in dramatics, for three people were thereby sent to school-wide fame. ln Honor Brightu, the Junior Class play, Mary Whiteis, Alice Larson and Bob Miller played leading parts. Mr. Blackman and Andy Sabados took part in the Minstrel Show. Entertainment was provided thru weekly social meetings with Mr. Carlson's section. Within the confines of our section we also have the president and vice-president of the Boys' Club, Bob Miller and Andy Sabados respectively. We also have the schoolls three cheerleaders, Merlin Marks, Lorengo Klareck, and Frank McKinney. As to scholastic attainments, we have on the honor roll Barron Knechtel and Harold VVeingartner on the high honor roll.-HAROLD WEINGARTNER. ,---... ,J-----. mais MTI. ii 'mMfei-+.,Mi Sis s. . .L gi - -'i' v w nn ,pw 1 .ilgtl v fm.. fffs l ..3.J.. Section D, Mr. Carlson Our section seems to be musically inclined, for eight people were members of the band. They were Dorothy Malette, Robert Handell, Robert Richard- son, Dick Hippe, Lindsay Kelley, Ralph Keck, Nathanael Hill, and Don Underwood. Three of our students, Dick Hippe, Lindsay Kelley, and Charles Hines, were in the Junior Class Play. We are very proud to have in our section Nathanael Hill, Who has been on the high honor roll for five semesters, and Robert Richardson, who at one time attained that goal. Gertrude Hauser, Ger- trude Rottsolk, Elizabeth Glinger, and Robert Handell have been on the honor roll at various times. Four people from our section were members of Delphi. They were: Robert Richardson, Margar- etha Hudiska, Gertrude Rottsolk, and Dorothy Hochsprung. Nathanael Hill and Robert Richard- son were also on the debate squad. Robert Richard- son represented our section on the Auroran Staff as editor of The Bowl of Applesauce. ln athletics we were represented by Joe Vaghy, who played reg- ularly on the heavy weight football team, receiving his letter. ln 1932-33 we won the basketball Intramural Tournament in the Junior Division.- Dokoruv HocHsPRUNG. Section D, Miss Jenks The most courteous section in East High, twit- ness the courtesy shield we have retained for two yearsj, is being drug upl' by Miss Jenks in a very able manner. The names of Hortense Rodgers, Catherine Mil- ler and David Miller have appeared on the high honor roll, and Bernice Bogdan, George Smith, and Catherine and David llliller have been on the honor roll. Edna Andresen and Catherine Miller have superior notices in Spanish and Algebra, respectively. Bette Balskey and David Miller received credit for work in the Junior Class play. George Blake and Mzirtin Bonesteel belong to Hi-Y, and lldartin and Merdella Benter participated in Junior Delphi, Merdella being secretary. We are not lacking in athletic ability, for Ralph Bailey received a letter in football and other boys earned their numerals. Track and intra-mural sports are very popular. Our section won the vol- leyball championship last year. . 1 Last year we tried the interesting experiment of exchanging pupils with Mr. Davis, section. Half of the students from each section were shifted around for a week, enabling the members of each section to become better acquainted with their classmates. It was voted a success almost unanimously, and we hope to try it again.-LUCILLE BATTENSCHLAG. SECTION D, MR. CARLSON Back ROW-Schaefer, Kell, Kelley, Hippe, A.

Our section is exceptionally lucky for there are three people in it who hold some ofiice in East High activities. Clement Coleman is cap- tain of the 193-i track team, lVIary Balla is secretary of the Spanish Club, and Pearl Chase holds the office of vice-president in the Girl Reserves. Clement Coleman received his letter in heavy- weight football, and Bill Druschel received his let- ter in lightweight football. Bill was promoted from his position on the lightweight basketball team to that of guard on the heavyweight first team. Clem- ent is captain of our section basketball team, which has a high standing in the Junior intra-mural con- test, George Bode is the manager. Some of the girls also take part in sports and many belong to the G. A. A. lylarguerite Gast has taken an active part in the Uramatic Club and took a part in the Christmas play. Naturally we hold membership in the different clubs such as the Spanish Club, French Club, Fly- ing Squadron, and Girls' Commercial Club. ln the future we hope to improve along the scholastic line and to maintain our athletic ability.-hlixnv BALLA.

As yet none of the familiar pink slips decorate our bulletin board, and let us ltope they continue to pass us by. We have had one person on the high honor roll, Marion Weber, with a straight AH record, and expect to have more next semester. The clubs in school are well supported by people of this section. There are three girls and three boys in the glee club, four A students in the band- Ned Stakemiller, George Weiclisel, James Yocum, and Stanley Powers. Quite a few students repre- sent us in the Flying Squadron. William Schwin- gel and lVIerry Jane Thomson made the try-outs for the debate teams. The Girls' Athletic Associa- tion members are Doris Shroeder and Marion VVeber. The Girls, Club cabinet representative is Lucille Vickroy and the alternate, Marion Weber. The Boys' C ub representative is Jake Zimmerman, with Arvid Witt as the alternate.

Section E, Miss Riclcer Whiz! Zipl Bang! A blizzard blew through the portals of East High! A part of this hurricane was turned over to Miss Ricker for supervision. At first she had quite a time until some of the frisky flakes spent their energy upon athletics. This seemed worth while because Frank Marshall, Ray Kyes, Charles Pyle, and George Schindlbeck received awards. One of our scintillating crystals, Catherine Kingsley, entertained the whole school by dancing in the Roughneck Day Stunt and in the Variety Show. Out of this blizzard a few in our section became leaders, such as Betty Harding, the president of Girl Reserve organization and Dorothy Keck, vice- president of the Girls' Club. Some of us have expressed ourselves musically, for Frank Marshall, Ralph Lowe, Milton LaDew and Ralph Keck are in the band and Margaret Kish is in the orchestra. In a short time this blizzard became organized and elected Ralph Lowe as its president, Frank Marshall as vice-president, and Dorothy Knapp as secretary-treasurer. They have recently turned their duties over to Genevieve Miller, lllilton La Dew and Ray Kyes, who will direct the activities of the section for next semester. We have not been dormant scholastically, for Emily Kish, Barbara Messinger and Dorothy Keck have been on the high honor roll. They have also been on the honor roll along with Ethel Pauly, Genevieve Miller, Margaret Kish and Dorothy Knapp. The sad part is that some of these snowflakes have melted and vanished.-DoRoTHY Keck.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Just three years ago in 1931, 330 bewildered, timid freshmen wandered thru the corridors of their dear Alma Mater, East High. New ordeals and hardships of the first two years have been over- come and the tasks of the sophisticated Juniors have begun. To carry on the duties of the class, excellent leadership was needed. Bob Reuss was chosen to lead the class as president. Those to aid him for the year were vice-president, Jack Schulz and sec- retary-treasurer, Evelyn Frisk. The class play, 'fHonor Bright , by Meredith and Kenyon Nickolson, presented on December 15, proved a great success. Concessions at football and basketball games helped to expand the treasury. Great hopes are held in the minds of the Juniors for issuing their 'fSpeculuml' in their Senior year and sponsoring the annual Junior Prom. Each February three junior girls and three junior boys are chosen as officers of the Girls' and Boys' clubs. Evelyn Frisk was chosen to guide the girls for the coming year. Her assistants were Dorothy Keck, vice-president, and Ruth Morey, secretary- treasurer. The Boys' Club is under the leadership of Bob lVIiller as president with Andy Sabados and Tom Alderson, vice-president and secretary-treas- urer, respectively, as his assistants. Many boys proved their ability in athletics by earning f'A's . Outstanding among the athletes is Andy Sabados who in his freshman year earned an HA and every year since has done likewise. He has also received the star emblem signifying the earning of A's in the three major sports. A'Andy, the well known orator, who is captain-elect of the heavyweight football squad, will guide the men on the gridiron during the next season. Other boys who received A's'l in football are Ralph Baily, Everett Engle, lval Erickson, Don Reiland, Stan Ellertson, Bill Druschel, Norman Renner, Joe Vaghy, and Jerry Verbic. Bob Oehrlein, Andy Sabados, Bill Druschel, and Bob Schmidt earned Als in basketball. 'fA'sH for track abilities were awarded to Marion Hopkins, Everett Engle and Andy Sabados. HThe Shamrock ShuFHel', the St. Pat- rickls Day dance, was sponsored on March 17. The slogan, 'fSurely show-up at the Shamrock Shufiien attracted many. Orrin Tucker's Tea Room Orchestra furnished the music for the delightful evening. Debate and Forensics put in their claims to a number of Juniors. The debaters and speakers who won recognition are Joe Suhler, Bob Reuss, Charles Tennant, Thais Hamilton, Nathanael Hill, and Bob Richardson. Girls in the class of f'35,' were active in sports, basketball, hockey, archery, baseball, and speedball. While they were not champions in all sports they made favorable showings. The following girls earned awards in the Girls, Athletic Association: Valeria Seifen, Helen Richard- son, Edna Andresen, Leona Covert, Miriam Nelson, Dorothy Numerich, Harriet Palmer and Evelyn Frisk. Bob Reuss became Sports Editor of the Au- rorann in his Junior year. Other third-yearersu who also found places on the Auroran staff were lris Minot, Evelyn Frisk, John Bursh, Gordon Teichmann, Joe Suhler, Stephen Paydon, and Bob Richardson. The H35-ers proved to have a large number of brilliant students, making either the high honor roll with straight A's or the honor roll with at least two Alsl' and two Bys . Emma Jane Fowler, Nathanael Hill, Sylvia Kish, Jean Stubbs, Robert Reuss, Hortense Rodgers, Jack Schulz, Evelyn Frisk, Marie Esser, Marion Bowers, Cornelia Brown, Dorothy Jean Dreyer, Irene Lange, David lWiller, lris Minot, Stephen Paydon, Harold Schuldt, Valeria Seifen, Joe Suhler, Harold Wein- gartner, Virginia Cobb, Thais Hamilton, Robert Handell, Catherine Miller, and Bob Richardson, may be classified in this group. Student Council, in the mid-term, elected two juniors into the offices of president and secretary- treasurer. These offices were filled by Bob Reuss and Evelyn Frisk, respectively. Under this adminis- tration, the new plan of a Student Day, the school being run completely by students, was inaugurated and proved a great success. The history of a class would not be complete if music were to be omitted, and this class has under its wing a number of winners of solo contests. Bob Johnson and Martin Bonesteel proved their talents in winning National honors. Thru the excellent guidance of the class advisers, the group has accomplished a good share of their duties and has high hopes for the future, when they assume the role of seniors of East High. 1 zO3OIv0W CDITI 3J:cnrn70'I'l Q' E N SOPI-IOMORE ADVISERS MR.

Betty Darfler contributed three A,s', and one HBH to our average. Alice Abens, Lois Arndt, and Stella Bogdon were on the honor roll. In the Girls' Club our section was represented by ,lean Louise Beverly and Bernice Becker. Ervie Anderson was our Boys, Club representative and Harold Barclay was the alternate. Ralph Ahasic represented our section in Student Councfl ani Jerome Albright was the alternate. Ralph Ahasic, Robert Boyce, and Ervie Ander- son contributed their football ability to the squad. Ervie Anderson is now out for track. Lois Arndt plays a violin in the orchestra. Jerome Albright and Robert Battenschlag play in the band. Ethel Andresen, Betty DarHer, and Grace Ahasic were members of the Girls' Athletic Association. The intramural basketball team, led by Robert Battenschlag and Ervie Anderson, was not highly successful.

Section F, Mr. Cravens Scholastically we made a fairly good record, al- though it certainly was nothing about which we could boast. We were very proud of our four super- ior notices, three having been earned by one indi- vidual. We hesitate to speak of the poor notices which decorated our bulletin board, but we hope to establish a more favorable scholastic record in the coming semester. Ruth Brown presided as president of Junior Del- phi and vice-president of the Latin Club. In addition to executive ability we have musical talent. Sarah Calendo recently sang at North Cen- tral College. Representatives of our section in the band are Ralph Coats, Billy Cousland, Albert Bruechner, Eugene Claude, and Earl Brownell. Ruth Couve is quite a tap and toe dancer, having danced in the Auroran Variety Show. Ruth Brown was the accompanist for the Glee Club while Sarah Calendo, Julia Czecz, and Elaine Butke represented the section in the club itself. Two of the boys played on the heavyweight bas- ketball BU team while several others were on the football squads. Our section ranked in the upper division in the intramural contest. Two people, Billy Cousland and Doris Burkhart, were recognized for their perfect attendance record. -ELAINE BUTKE. Section F, Mr. Albright Aaron Albright's sophomore section has not been one of the best as far as scholastic attainments are concerned, but it has had its part in the extra-cur- ricular activities of our school. During the first semester of the school year Ervin Piron and Donald Rogers were the Student Council representatives. lWerwin Philips and Jack Rein- hardt were Boys' Club representatives. VVayne Schlentz and Esther Schoeniger were president and vice-president of the section, respectively. ln the second semester Donald Rogers and Elmer Stallman represented our section in the Student Council. Margilerite Schober and Rita Schramer were sent to the Girls' Club as the section's repre- sentatives, while Ervin Piron and -lack Reinhardt went to the Boys' Club. Carl Shenk and VVaync Schlentz were elected president and vice-president of the section. Although lVIr. Albright is one of East High's ath- letic coaches, the only letter man in his section was Ervin Piron, who received a letter in lightweight football. However, our section was represented in the various intramural sports and made a fairly good showing there. Robert Pierce and Way'ne Schlentz are band members, and Marguerite Schober and Irene Reich- enbacker play in the LJTCllCStfZ1.1W.AYNE ScHLEN'rz. s fa., y,....-Q-xl Section F, Mr. McAfoos Uur section, through lwr. lWcAfoos' constant effort to raise its scholastic standing and citizenship, ranked highest of all the junior sections. The high honor roll was attained by Donald Haslem, and the honor roll by Wilma Hem, lWary Kish, Emily Kish and Fred Heim. Emily Kish, however, having car- ried suflicient subjects during the previous semester to make enough extra credits for a half year, was promoted to Miss Ricker's first-half junior section. During our home room periods, various students gave reports on the qualifications that one should have and cultivate in order to be a success in the future. Several of our students participate in athletics. Albert Flynn, Edward Hawking and Howard Hill take part in football and track, the former being also a member of the basketball team. There are a number of other talented students in our section. William Henke, VVilliam Harding and Fred Heim are members of the band, while Lambert Hoffman and Donald Haslem are mem- bers of the orchestra. Little is known of the activities of the section in the future, however, it is evident that every in- dividual will be striving to improve his record and become a better student of East High and a well- trained citizen of Aurora.-NIARY KISH.

Our section, having an average of 15.328, the highest average in the junior division, received the shield. Superior notices were received by Lillian Stallman in Book- keeping I, and Clarence Streit in Geometry I, while two students, namely, Eileen Starck and Clarence Streit, have exceptional ability in mathematics, Eileen having received a superior notice in Algbra I and Clarence having received one in both Al- gebra ll and Geometry l. Our high honor roll pupil was Eileen Starck. Gur honor roll pupils were Shirley Schuster, Harold Staffeldt, Eleanor Stine, and Howard Schulz. Boys outstanding in athletics were Royal Smith, who was a member of the lightweights in both foot- ball and basketball, and Ray Stapleton, who was an active member of the track team, winning several iirsts in the dashes. Howard Schulz, who plays the snare drums, and Ward Thiel, who plays the trombone, represent our section in the band. Eleanor Stine has been chosen as one of the twenty to represent East High in the National Chorus to be held in Chicago. Most of our section's success is due to the faithful guidance of llliss Pittz, our section officer.-ELEANOR STINE.

Most of us are just ordinary citizens, interested in many things but not specializ- ing in any particular one. However, there are some who are talented along special lines. ln the musical field, Betty Ann Miller plays bass viol in the orchestra, and Marian Gast, Emma Morse, Eleanor Mitchell, and Florence Mueller sing in the Girls' Glee Club. Our athletes are John Onak and Clark Gros, who received A's in football last fall. Betty Ann Miller and Robert Miller are both ac- tive in Junior Delphi, the former as secretary and the latter as sergeant-at-arms. Florence Mueller, Betty Ann Miller and Arlie Parker uphold high standards in the Girl Reserves. Betty Ann also be- longs to the Library Round Table. Those ambitious scholastically are Ellen lVIusich Betty Ann Miller, and Arlie Parker who attained the honor roll the first semester. Alberta Park- hurst, Florence Mueller and Arlie Parker received superior notices. Our section was represented by the following: Student Council, Betty Ann Miller, alternate, Jack Pettit, Girls, Club, Ellen Musich, alternate, Arlie Parker, Boys' Club, John Onak, alternate, Robert Miller.--ARLIE PARKER.

Section F, Mr. Hunter Two years ago when we entered high school, we were very timid, but we gradually changed and now we are active in scholastic achievements, athletics, and other minor activities. During the first semester of this year hiartha Yunkus received a superior notice in Spanish H, and Virginia Verbic, Martha Yunkus, and Dorothy VVeigel achieved honor roll rating. Mr. Hunter and Jerry Verbic represented us in the lllinstrel Show, and hir. Hunter, Jeanne Walk- er, and Jean Willemin appeared in the Auroran Variety Show. Ralph Zenner belonged to the debate squad, George Troll, the Rilie Club, Jeanne Walker, the Auroran staff, George Troll, the band, and Ralph Zenner and Jeanne Walker, the orchestra. Junior Delphi was popular with Martha Yunkus, Jeanne Wzilker, Clifford Young, and Dorothy VVeigel. The latter was treasurer. Jennie Turner possesses much talent as an artist. Our section intra-mural basketball team took second place. In the major sports we had Lester Woodrick, Bob Welcher, and Herbert Habermeyer in basketball, Ralph Zenner and Clifford VVolf in track, and Herbert Habermeyer, Clifford Young, Jerry Verbic, Bob Welcher, and Clifford Wolf in f0OtbHll.'-DOROTHY WEIGEL. Section F, Miss Dorsett Our section cannot boast of any Hsupermenu or Einsteins, but it consists of people who are most willing to cooperate with all of the activities of the school. The school band would lack something if Elmer Kroll, lVIelvin Marvin, Orville lblallette, and Elmer Magill were not present, and if our Martlia Korody did not sing for Junior Delphi and language pro- grams. Elmer Kroll has been very fortunate in that he has not missed a day since he started on his high school career. lllelvin lllarvin has been our Student Council representative for the entire four semesters in high school. Ethel Kunde, our Girls' Club representative, and Elmer lliclntire, our Boys' Club representative, show much enthusiasm in their work and promise to represent us satisfactorily. Gretchen lyieyer was one of the lucky ones who made the tennis team. The girls of our section organized a section vol- ley-ball team last spring. This group did very well, for itwent to the semi-finals only to be beaten by our friendly rival, Mr. Hunteris section. Our chief aim is to be loyal to the school and all its organizations.-GR15TcHi2N MEYERS. SECTION G, MISS SI-IINKER Section G, Miss Shinker A large group of students with varied abilities compose Miss Shinker's section. Jean Fuller is gifted with a lovely singing voice, and Mary Ann Amell, Marjorie Blake and Marion Hochsprung, belong to the Girls, Glee Club. Anna Hargraves' outstanding artistic ability is admired, and is especi- ally appreciated, because our section has lost an- other artist, La Verne Boudreau, who is now in California. We also have in our midst a group of honor stu- dents. Kathryn Eisenhuth has attained the high honor roll, and Frank Clare, Leone Gramley, Gladys Foster, and lVIarion Hochsprung are honor roll students. Superior notices have been earned by three students, Frank Clare, Leone Gramley and Kathryn Eisenhuth. Bill DeLess received a letter in heavyweight foot- ball, and Louie Cyko in lightweight football. Bill also represented our section in Student Council, with Kathryn Eisenhuth as alternate. ln Girls' Club, Vurla Adams represented our girls, while Ann Harding acted as alternate. Sorrow was cast over the students in Miss Shin- keris section when our class-mate, Elizabeth Had- field, died at the home of relatives in Wasliington, D. C., where she was spending her Christmas holi- days.-KATHRYN EISENHUTI-1. Section G, Miss Thomas Our section, composed of forty-three students, is under the direction of Miss Thomas. Sabina Ma- zurek and Betty Miller received superior notices, and those who attained the honor roll were Carl Licht, Forest Lay, Frances Lake, Sabina Mazurek, and Betty Miller. VVe are very well represented in athletics. The members of the section basketball team are: David Hutchinson, manager, Rodney Meyers, captain, Jack Morey, Robert Judd, Clarence Nelson, Don- ald Landry, and John Kellett. James Miller is on the regular team while Carl Licht and Rodney Meyers are out for track. Dorothy Logue is a member of the G. A. A., and Viola Miller and Betty Kelley were on the girls' tennis team. Those who are in the band are David Hutchin- son, Jack Morey, Carl Licht, Robert Judd, Ralph Johnson, Rodney Meyers, and John Kelley. Our section ofiicers are Betty Kelley, president, Carl Licht, vice-president, and Betty Miller, sec- retary. The representative of the Girls' Club is Sabina Mazurek, while Viola Miller acts as alter- nate. John Kelley is representative of the Boys, Club, with David Hutchinson as alternateg and Jack Morey is representative of the Student Council.

Joseph VVestphall and Leo Smith were only a step behind, both playing on the Freshman football team. Other contestants in the race were Ralph Plummer, Danny Onak, Harry Tesch, Williain Zolpher, and Harry Rhoades. 'lihe girls monopolized the scholastic honor race. as Peggy Thorpe, Anna Zbroniec, and Jean Pres- brey received all 'fAls in major subjects. Superior notices were received by Anna Zbroniec and Jean Presbrey in Introduction to Business and Latin Il respectively. Very few poor notices found their way to our section. ln Student Council we were represented by Leo Smith and Peggy Thorpe, the first semester, and Joe lVestphall and Hob Stoner, the second semes- ter. Karl Paetz and Danny Unak attended Boys' Club Cabinet the first semester with John Popdan and Danny Unak substituting the second semester. Likewise in Girls, Club, .lean Presbrey and Anna Zbroniec held offices at first with Beverly Witte- land and Peggy Thorpe substituting l2ltt'l'.1Jli.'XN PRIQSBREY. 4 fee- Section H, Miss Comiskey Our section, under the guidance of Miss Comis- key feels that we had a very happy, successful semester together. The only thing that marred our complete pleasure was the fact that our section had to be broken up in order to make room for the incoming freshmen in February. 'lihe majority of our class came from the parochial schools and for this reason were not accustomed to the ways of high school as were those who came from junior High. lf this had not been true, we probably would have made even a more successful class. Uur section representatives, Richard Lee, Student Council represntative, Robert Lang, Boys' Club representative, and Betty Kirk, Girls' Club repre- sentative, together with various committees, helped to bring our section into one strong body promoting happiness and good fellowship. bliss Comiskey introduced the idea of having en- tertainments and projects each week given by the girls and the boys alternately. During the semester successful Tlizinksgiviiig and Christmas programs were presented, which delighted all who took part. lVe also had a good section basketball team with all the boys showing true sportsmanship. VVe are sure that if our section could have stayed together we would have made a still better name for ourselves and for our section.fHE'1 l'Y KIRK. Back Rowfllunge, Sisler, Shaw, L.

Robert Hal- ter was one of the boys who showed his ability as a boxer. Earl Heidelburg a11d William Green play- ed in the freshman band. June Henrikson, Burnell Greene, Lucille Hayes, and Betty Johnston were among the dancers. Last but not least was LeRoy Hammond, who played in the harmonica hand. Our section also has scholastic ability as well as talent. For the first quarter our average was 2.712 and for the second quarter it was 2865. This im- provement of .153 was the best in the school, and won for our section the shield awarded for this honor. On our intra-mural basketball team Richard Hennig was captain and William Green, the man- ager. Clyde Hill, Herman Halter, and Robert Hawking were also out for this sport. The basket- ball team held two practices, one at Young school by itself, and tl1e other with Miss Garwoodls sec- tion at Brady school. For the first semester the various representatives for our section were: Richard Hennig, Boys' Club, June Henrikson, Girls, Club, and Helen Homer- ding, Student Council. The second semester these offices were held by Richard Hennig, Betty John- ston, and VVilliam Green.-XV1LL1AM GREEN. Our section, as well as otl1er Freshman sectio11s, llZlS done Well this year. ln September forty promis- ing students were enrolled in our group, eager to make a good scholastic record. As i11 all otl1er Freshman classes, some have received grades that were not very good. But, in comparison with them, we l1ave a good average. Tl1ree of our girls, Julia Precup, Esther Hahn and Henrietta Rivers, have their names on the honor roll. The boys as a group made a better average than the girls. We are justly proud of Francis Rokop, who made l1is mark in football. He was a member of tl1e lightweight football team. We have a good basket- ball team u11der the management of Daniel Piet- kiewicz. His brother, Chester, is the captain of tl1e team. Last semester Carl Plautz was the captain and Chester Pietkiewicz was the manager. Several girls of our section have shown an interest i11 becoming members of G. A.A. lVIany of our parents attended the Freshman party which was held early in the first semester, and enjoyed meeting our teachers. Qur section is well represented in all activities of the school this year. Our section being a freshman section has not dis- tinguished itself as yet but in the coming semesters we feel sure of greater success.-JULIA PRECUP.

MILLER Section l-l, Mr. Miller Every Freshman section is the samel YVQ enter our new section with hopes of making the school proud of us. We are fortunate in possessing a little of every kind of talent. Two of our mem- bers represent the section on the honor rolls. Joyce Winans was on the high honor roll, having received all A'sll, while Walter Truemper made the honor roll with 3 A's and a BH Superior notices were received by Joyce Winans and Walter Truemper in English l and German l, respectively. Those musically inclined are Aurel Wormwood, who is a member of the orchestra, and Charles Wade and Neil VValsh, who play in the band. Charles Wade also played on the heavyweight football team and received a numeral this fall. YVe were unfortunate in losing all but one game in the intramural basketball games. The girls who recently joined G. A. A. are Thelma Toombs, Harriet Witt, Aurel Wormwood, and Joyce Winans. Neil Walsh is the only section member in the Junior Delphi. Dur Girls' Club representative is Dorothy VVeberg Ralph Swanson is the Boys' Club repre- sentative, and Garnet lVIabrey, Student Council. Wwe owe a lot to hir. Millerls excellent super- vision for he is never too busy to help US.-JOYCE WINANS. Section l-I, Miss Garms Our section is composed of freshmen who entered East High School in September, 1933. YVe organ- ized quickly under the fine leadership of Miss Garms. There are four boys who play in the band. They are Howard Canham, Dick Crane, Robert Bret- thauer, and George Brewer. We were not repre- sented so well in athletics, but our intra-mural basketball team did make third place. We also elected officers in our section. They are: Howard Canham, president, Robert Critton, vice-president, and Mzirgaret Buckley, secretary- treasurer. Like all organizations we had programs. They were held during the sixth period and proved to be interesting because of the various forms of entertainment presented by our different pupils. Fine talent was shown in tap dancing, readings, in- strumental selections, and group singing. One of our enjoyable features was the inviting of Miss Garwood and her section to join us in singing. We have taken up parliamentary drill and have also had some interesting discussions on current events. On the night of the Freshmen party which was held for parents and pupils, we Won the five dollars for having the largest percent of parents and pupils present. VVe used the money to buy a map of the world for our section.-ROBERT CRlT'l'0N. Back .Row-W' a gr e n e r, Thomas, Truemper, H.

Section H, Mr. Runninger We had a very interesting semester under lVIr. Runninger's guidance. Ar the end of the first quarter our scholastic average was 3083, which is a little higher than a MCU. We were quite proud of this average, for it was high for a freshman section. Although we did drop to 2986, almost UC , at the end of the semester, several more earned a position on the honor rolls. On the high honor roll were Avis Murley, Virginia McCance, and Nlarion McCullough. VValter Numerich and Janet liflc- Kay attained the honor roll. Even though quite a number of students in our section received poor notices, we are not in the least discouraged, for most of them are to be redeemed in the near future. We have some musical talent in our section. Sev- eral boys are in the band. Robert Nix and Robert McElroy both play bassoons, Willis Milar plays the clarinet, and Gregory Molitor, the trombone. These boys represented our section in the National Band Contest in Des Moines, Iowa. Our section is not lacking in athletic ability. Five boys went out for football. They are: Robert McElroy, Lawrence lWurphy, Harold lvlorey, Don- ald Pagel, and Harvey Moore. None of these boys did exceptionally well but perhaps more will be heard about them in the following years.-Vue GINIA BTCCANCE. Section H, Miss Garwood Our Freshman section is quite active in school events. Its members are found in the band, the school orchestra, Junior Delphi, the Debate squad and the language clubs. Under Miss Garwood's guidance we raised our scholastic average from 3.1 12 for a high final rating. Two of our members, Betty Biggs and Robert Amundsen, were on the high honor roll while four others, Mary Atwood, Dorothea Andersen, Betty Kirk and Max Augus- tine achieved the distinction of being on the honor roll. Thomas Boger and Paul Blanchard play' regu- larly in the band and Leo Blakinger and Paul are members of the orchestra. The girls seem to enjoy glee Work more so than the boys for Elizabeth An- derson, Betty Biggs and Marion Klein are in the Girls, Glee while only Leo Blakinger represents the boys in the Boys' Glee. However we are proud to have suchgan accomplished vocalist as Max Augus- tine in our section. Robert Amundsen is a member of this year's De- bate squad. He also belongs to Junior Delphi along with Betty Biggs. Many of the girls of our section are active par- ticipants in Girl Reserve affairs and G. A.

Members of the East High band and orchestra are Virginia Keck, Raymond Curry, Manly Dibble, Robert Grumhaus, Leslie Hanson and Robert Harmon. The executive ability of a portion of our section is noticeable and undoubtedly will manifest itself in the near future. Robert Harmon is our Student Council representative, and Margaret Hulbert is the alternate. Carol Dunger represents us in Girls' Club, with Gwenivere Horton as alternate. The Boys' Club is represented by Warren Edwards .ind Robert Harmon. The achievements of members of our section while at Junior High were noteworthy. Gweni- vere Horton was honored by receipt of the Ameri- can Legion School Award. We should achieve a high scholastic average in East High, judging from the Junior High records. Students who received at least three As, in major subjects were Rayfield Edwards. Gwenivere Horton, Margaret Hulbert, Robert Harmon and Carol Dunger.-MARGARET HULBERT.

Section I-I, Miss Garbe Our Freshman section under Miss Garbe's ex- cellent leadership, has had no time to accomplish outstanding events at East High we all plan to do so in the very Junior High many of our section such as Vernon Taylor, who was dent Council, and Fred Shrader, as yet, although near future. At were outstanding president of Stu- Wayne Warren, William Vaughn, Seymore Simon and Sidney Ream, who were members of our Junior High football team. At high school this semester Wayne Warren represents us in Student Council with Marjorie Schultz as Girls, Club representative, and Fred Schrader in the Boys, Club. Our home room officers are as follows: president, Dick Ten Eyckeg vice- president, Wayne VVarreng and secretary-treasurer, Mariorie Schultz. We also possess a great variety of talent. Ethel Szatyari and Virginia Richardson tap dance, Ralph Schuster gives readings, Robert Zeigler and George Stredde play the clarinet, Peggy Young and Laura Platz possess acting ability as well as reading talent, Kenneth Siedelman plays the piccolo and Richard Ten Eycke plays the drums in the band, both repre- senting us at Des Moines. We all sincerely hope that our section members succeed in High SChO0l.-MARJORIE SCHULTZ.

We have high hopes for the future, however, and under lVliss Comiskey's guid- ance we hope to establish our section as one of the best in the school. All of us are going to tal-ze a new lease on life and try to attain the high horror roll. At least we hope to keep those pink slips away from our bulletin board. We have numerous musicians in our section, Rol- lin Carey plays the accordion, Normajean Bett- cher is an excellent singer, Virginia Buckner, Betty Benson, Jeanne Boger and Jane Chawgo all excel on the piano. We also have some talented actors in Glen Ack- ley, Jeanne Anderson, Ann Hoytor, Jeanne Boger. lrene Bourelle and Evelyn Carlson. Glen Ackley and Donald Buhrmann have each won letters in football. Our representatives in school organizations are: i Betty Benson on Student Council, Jeanne linger on l Girls' Club with Lorraine Bean as alternate. Glen Ackley and James Cadwell are the representatives l for the Boys' Club. From this review of the possiblities of our section 1 we believe that we can readily attain our desired goal of being an outstanding section in liast High. -JAMES CADWELL. i ...s1.. Section I-I, Miss Galbraith Our section, being a first-half Freshman group, has no history, yet. But We can mention some peo- ple we expect big things of in the future. Joe Kodre received the American Legion Medal for being the outstanding boy in Junior High. He was judged on Courage, Honor, Leadership, Scholar- ship, and Service. Joe is our student council repre- sentative, too. Alex Mihalka is his capable alter- nate. As Boys' and Girls, Club representatives we have Junior Perkins and Jean Lowry, respectively. Al- bert Lee, another fine fellow, replaces Junior when he is absent, and Helen Peffers substitutes for Jean. Our section officers are: Albert Lee, president: Jane lVIeyers, vice-presidentg and Robert lwatters, secretary-treasurer. VVe also have a scholarship com- mittee composed of Winifred Licht, Joe Kodre, and Philip Lewis. They take care of poor and superior notices. All of these are capable and will- ing to work. We have three band boys among us. 'llhey are Robert lklitchler, Robert Muntz, and Philip Lewis. Junior Perkins is out for almost every athletic team. He is our only outstanding athlete. Cf course we have many students in the language or commercial clubs, but as yet we have no outstanding individ- uals in any of these organizations.-PHILIP LEXNIS. 5111 illllvmurinm Elizabeth lktilfielh eason, H e :1 1' 11, Connors, Faulh ith, Marvin, Miller. 1rd RoWfShulz, VVa d e, N i z, Jakious, lbeLess, Kyes, Sol 5 rg, Oester, Perry. ond Row-Staib, Coats, Lassit-i', u er, A in und:-1 e n, Paxton, Lee I l9it', Hamilton. ront ROWiTi1lf'liSfl'OlN, liomerding: wel, Hodoek, Larson, Frisk, Clare l is Heavell, 'l'rimI.vIe, Xvarren, 1 1. THE STUDENT COUNCIL Row-Richards, He-uss, Meyer, The Student Council The Student Council was organized at East High for the purpose of aiding the faculty by assuming certain phases of the adminstration of the school government. The body is composed of a repre- sentative of each section in school, the presidents of the junior and senior classes, the editor and manager of the 'LSpeculum, the editor of the HAuroran , the captains of major sports, the president of the athletic association, the president of Delphi, and the presidents of the Boys' and Girls' Clubs. This year, lVIanley Perry guided the council the first semester aided by Connie Clare, vice-president and Virginia Reavell, secretary-treasurer. Bob Reuss was president the second semester, Jules Barnat, vice-president, and Evelyn Frisk, secretary-treasurer. The council, with the aid of the Kiwanis Club. presented several special assemblies featuring speak- ers, adventurers, and artists. The Metropolitan Concert Company, Zellner, the dramatist, Dr. Chas. Barker, former personal physician to President Taft, Jim Wilson, African adventurer, and Fritz Crisler, head football and basketball coach at Princeton University, appeared during the year. All pep meetings and open houses were directed by Student Council. Bob DeWolf was chairman of the pep meeting committee and Bob Oester and Bob Miller had charge of open house. The council also took charge of the traffic system, relieving crowded conditions in the corridors. In October, Student Council took part in a mag- azine selling contest which netted approximately S320 for the Council, the Band, and the Boys' and Girls, clubs. The traditional Freshman initiation and Roughneck Day were other activities sponsored by the organization. On ltlarch 23, ll 'fstudent day was held, with the students taking over the entire administration of the school. The idea, originated by Burton Burkhardt, lVIanlev Perry and Bob Reuss, was passed by Student Council and ltlanley Perry was elected principal of the school for the day. The Girls' Club elected Betty Trimble dean of girls, and Clement Coleman was chosen dean of boys by the Boys' Club. An Honesty YVeek campaign to promote honesty in all aspects of school life was undertaken by the council. The committee in charge of this in- cluded Connie Clare, Charles Wade, Robert Amundsen, Lois Hodock, and Al Flynn. A point system for the regulation of extra-curri- cular activities was drawn up by a committee con- sisting of Robert Hesselbaum, chairman, Francis Staib, Clement Coleman, and Howard Fauth. It was then presented to the vote of the student body. Another committee headed by Leola Tews worked on a student activities ticket. The council donated twenty-five dollars for the purpose of sending the band to the Rockford-East High football game and it also paid for damages done to West High the eve of the annual Thanks- giving game. The Board of Control The Board of Control is also a representative body which has control of the athletics. lt passes on the awards of numerals and letters to all players who have been selected by the coaches. lt also names the managers of all athletic teams. The mem- bership of the board consists of the captains and coaches of all athletic teams, the athletic director, the ofhcers of the athletic association, and the prin- cipal of East High. The 1933-34 board was as follows: O. V. Wal- ters, principal, Glen Thompson, coach of the heavy- weight football, lightweight basketball and track, Aaron Albright, heavyweight basketball coachg R. E. lWcAfoos, lightweight football coachg R. E. Davis, athletic directory Howard Fauth, captain of the heavyweight footballg Louis Jakious, captain of the lightweight footballg Francis Hearn, captain of the heavyweight basketball, Eddie Kaluza, captain of the lightweight basketball, and Clement Cole- man, captain of tl1e track team. The officers for the year were: Oscar Federspiel, president, Jack Connors, vice-president, and Kath- ryn Lee, secretary-treasurer.

The Girls' Club The Girls, Club began working energetically as soon as the first September meeting was called, and fairly raced through the calendar with important events. Freshman initiation was the first major event on the list of activities to be carried on during the school year. All survived and enjoyed the program presented in the auditorium, and the dancing and refreshments later in the gymnasium. Several of the Girls' Club members presented a delightful program of dancing, readings and old- time singing for the occupants of the Old Ladies Home on Fifth Street. The same entertainment was offered a little later at Springbrook Sanitarium and was graciously received. December came. Unfortunate children of the city were royally entertained at the annual Christ- mas Party given by the Girls! Club, December 23, in the school gymnasium. Each small guest received warm gloves, stockings, caps, toys, games and candy, all made possible by donations to the Aurora Beacon News Empty Stocking Fund. In April many East High girls attended the an- nual spring conference of the Chicago and Suburban Girls' Clubs, held at Deerfield-Shields High School in Highland Park, Illinois. Miss Leonard, dean of women at the University of Illinois, was the feature speaker of the day. However, student repre- sentatives of various suburban high schools led round-table discussion groups, which dealt with im- proved club management. Later in the spring the Girls, Club observed their annual Ivy Day, when shrubbery was planted at each end of the building, outside Mr. Davis, and Mr. Gundersonls rooms. Another tradition observed by the club this year was Katy Klean Up's annual spring visit to the school for a week. During Katy's stay here the girls held spring house-cleaning. The club gives aid to those girls who are in need and would not otherwise be able to continue their education. The year of success was due to the able guidance of Miss 0'Neil, club adviser and dean of girls, and to Miss Anderson, who acted in llliss G'Neills absence. The Girls' Club officers for the year of 1933- 1934 were Betty Trimble, president, Connie Clare, vice-president, lllargaret Ellis, secretary-treasurer. They were replaced by Evelyn Frisk, Dorothy Keck, and Ruth Morey, respectively, who were initiated at a second freshman party, held February 16. The following girls represented the sections this semester: Shirley Howard, Irene Backstrom, Anna Marie Cornell, Kathryn Lee, Irene Plese, Bettye Walker, Catherine Govai, Sylvia Kish, Dorothy Bieber, Charleen Dauwalder, Marie Esser, Ger- trude Hauser, Jean Leigh, Bernice Allard, Marie Jean Langwill, Lucile Vickroy, Genevieve Casgrove, Elizabeth Jacobs, Ethel Kunde, Emma Morse, Marguerite Schrober, Shirley Schuster, Emma Trense, Maryann Amell, Sabina Mazurek, Beverely Wetteland, Mary Atwood, Lois Boyd, Lorraine Larson, Betty Johnston, Avis Murley, Julia Precup, Hildegard Schaedler, Dorothy Weber, Jeanne Bogar, Carol Dungar, Jean Lowry, Marjorie Schultz. The alternates were as follows: Florence Couve, Mildred Kastol, Mariam Rokey, Mary Godfrey, Clara Meyers, Dorothy Leigh, Dorothy Dunn, Kathryn Weber, Hortense Rodger, Josephine Oxie, Mary Jane Gage, Helen Richardson, Irene Lange, Mary Balla, Betty Harding, Marion Weber, Julia Czecz, Virgina Horley, Alice Abens, Florence Mueller, Rita Schramer, Fee Swanson, Helen Tobias, Leone Gramley, Viola Miller, Peggy Thorpe, Betty Kirk, Dorothea Cobb, Carmen Fidis, Lorraine Hochsprung, Agnes Morrissette, Theresa Sabo, Lois Schafer, Joyce Winans, Lorraine Bean, Genevere Horton, Helen Peffers, Ethel Szaryari.

The Boys' Club The Boys, Club, since its organization in 1932, has been improving steadily as time has passed. The purpose of the club is to develop a closer relationship and a better understanding among the boys of East High School, and to help them to make the proper adjustments to the problems which confront them. In 1933 Howard Fauth piloted the organization through a very successful year, assisted by Jack Connors as vice-president, and Francis Hearn as secretary-treasurer. ln February of 193-1 these offi- cers were replaced by Bob Miller, Andy Sabados, and Thomas Alderson, respectively. Under these leaders the year was one of great success. In October, the school sponsored a maga- zine contest. The profit of this contest was divided evenly among these clubs, the Student Council, the Girls' Club, the Band, and the Boys' Club. ln January of 193-1 the Band and the Boys' Club staged a lllinstrel Show, which brought each organ- ization a considerable sum of money, to be used for the furthering of projects of the organizations. The show proved so successful that it was repeated, the proceeds of which were donated to the Fireman's Fund. One of the most enjoyable parties of the club was held the Hrst Friday in December, at which almost 700 boys were present. After a program in the auditorium, boxing matches were held in the gym- nasium and refreshments were served. A party of this kind was repeated on April 6, to the joy of the boys. The Boys, club room, scene of the meetings of the organization, was made very attractive by cur- tains and decorations purchased in the spring of the year. A radio and drapes, also bought by the club, added much to the comfort and appearance of the room. However, the Boys' Club does not spend all of its money enhancing the appearance of the club room, for, with the help of the P. T. A., over twenty-five boys in the school have been given financial aid. The work of the club proper is carried on by a board which consists of a representative from each section of the school. This board elects the chair- men of the three standing committees, namely the social, the program, and the service committees. Each chairman in turn selects a boy from each class to act on his committee. When the boys have met and have decided on the program of the club, this program is brought before the board, and if ap- proved, is carried into effect. The Boys' Club, along with the dean of boys and adviser of the club, Mr. Hunter, is continu- ally striving to better its activities and to increase its service to the school. If it progresses in the future as it has in the few short years of its existence, it it will surely achieve its goal. The representatives of the various sections elected by popular vote of their fellow class-mates were as follows: Landrith Parker, John Alamasi, Eddie Kaluza, Bill Hahn, Bill Spring, William Nunn, Harley Fredrickson, Maurice Misner, Ralph Bailey, Don- ald Cobb, John Siefred, John Morrisette, Adolph Zimmerman, Bud Doering, Otis McElroy, Jake Zimmerman, LeRoy Calkins, Howard Hill, Elmer Mclntire, Robert Battenschlag, Ervin Pirron, Royal Smith, Herbert Habermeyer, William DeLess, John Kelley, John Popdan, Kurt Bachert, Dean Mason, Frank Druschel, Richard Hennig, Donald Pagel, Herman Rosik, Harlan Stone, Ralph Swanson, James Cadwell, Warren Edwards, Junior Perkins, Fred Schroeder. Der Deutsche Verein The meetings of the German Club, held every other month, presented an unusual variety of pro- grams both educational and entertaining. Donald Yaeger ably executed the duties of the presidency of the club. The other official positions were held by Harold Vveingartner, vice-president, and Ruth Brinkmann, secretary-treasurer, who were able assistants to Don. It is the belief of the language clubs that a stu- dent's interest should not be limited to knowledge of one country. Following this policy, the various other language clubs have attended the majority of the programs as guests of the German Club. At one meeting several reels of films depicting various German scenes and customs were thor- oughly enjoyed by the members of the club and their invited guests, the French Club members. On April 4, Mrs. Mina lylalek, the superintendent of Jenningls Seminary, thrilled her audience with her talk of life in Africa where she lived many years as a missionary and traveler. No one can express well enough how deeply is appre- ciated the guidance and assis- tance of the German Club ad- visers. Miss Garms and lVIiss Bredlow. EI Circulo Espanol E1 Circulo lfspanol, meeting in t he auditorium the first Wednesday' of each month, presented excellent educational and entertaining p r o g r a m s. Among many other interesting programs there were presented, a moving picture on the Span- ish countries near the Caribbean Sea, a talk by lyliss Garms, the head of the Spanish department, on her trip through lWexico, and a few Spanish dances. The objectives of this club are to acquaint the members with the customs and manners of the Span- ish people and to give the students the opportunity of knowing one another better. lyiany enjoyable meetings were held in conjunc- tion with the other language clubs and interesting phases of the lives of the French, German and Roman peoples were learned and compared with those of Spain. An annual picnic is held in the spring of each year and is enjoyed by all who attend. The oHicers of the club were all capable people, namely, president, Catherine Govaiq vice-president, Albert Setzg and secretary-treasurer, llffary Balla. The four teachers of Spanish, Miss Lilia Garms, Miss Helen Twitchell, Miss Esther Garbe and lVIr. George Woolleyf acted as sponsors. Athenaeum The Latin Club has had a very successful year with Miss Holaday as adviser, assisted by lyfiss Gleason. The officers were: Roy Solfisburg, presi- dent, Ruth Brown, vice-presi- V dent, and Betty Kelley, secre- tary. During the year, four interesting meetings were held the first VVednesday of every other month. ln October, the Latin IV class presented part of the play, Hjulius Caesarfl Three short plays, Vestal Virgin, Polyphemus,'y and judgment of Paris,', were given by the two Latin lll classes on Decem- ber sixth. ln February, a series of slides on Roman dress and a moving picture called, Rome, the Eternal Cityll proved both enjoyable and educa- tional. The second semester, members of the Latin IV class sponsored, with the help of the other Latin classes, three publications of Res Latinaef' The paper was managed by Raymond Heriand, editor, with Dorothy Weigel and Helen Swanson as his associate editors. This year a number of new and interesting departments were added to those of past years, such as, The Voice of the Freshmenfl The Home Department, The Beauty Department, and HThe Historical Surveyf' Le Cercle Francais This year the French Club has been functioning under the direction of Jack Schulz, president, Betty McLallen, vice-president, and Fee Swanson, secre- tary-treasurer. I think, says jack, that perhaps the election was a lput-up job'.,' You see, he has just been initiated into the trying experience of arranging programs for the clubls entertainment. Betty McLallen? Well, says she, 'Tm follow- ing the old custom of vice-presidents being seen and not heardf, Fee Swanson, as secretary-treasurer of our club has not been overburdened with things to do. Fi- nances have been low, very low, and all meetings have been in the form of entertainments. This year the club sacrificed the pleasure of a Christmas Party and prepared, instead, a Christ- mas Basket which was given to an unfortunate family. The members feel that they were amply repaid in personal satisfaction for this deed. The F r e n c h Club intro- duced this year the plan of in- viting all of the language clubs to its programs. ' , 'iliiwfr lVI1ss Gleason, the adviser, 'f was largely responsible for the ma A activities of the club, and for its JK? interesting programs. MID ' Press Club The East High Press Club , was a freat success this year. 'WW Only of last year's mem- 1' bers remained to finish ,33 and TQ! start '3-l. These six people P made a prospective list of new , members, which was approved by lVIr. Geil, faculty adviser of the club, and on September 27, 1933, the following new members were received into the club: Wilbur Golz, Marian Burrell, Jane Elfervig, Roberta Abell, Evelyn Cusic, Betty lXlcLallen, lris Minot, lvlargaret Ellis, Robert Oester, Robert Richards, Robert Reuss, Landrith Parker, Gordon Teichman, Henry lN1cCance, Joe Suhler, Roy Con- nor, Ruth Brown, Martha Hargrave fhonoraryl. Officers of the club were: Virginia Reavell, president, Betty Trimble, vice-presidentg Robert Hesselbaum, secretaryg and Ruth Johnson, who was appointed as chairman of the program committee. Meetings of the club were held in the library every second and fourth VVednesday of the month. This year the people of the club took up detailed study of the short story, and as laboratory work several original short stories were written and dis- cussed. Those who wrote short stories were lVIartha Hargrave, Robert Hesselbaum, Virginia Reavell, Shirlye Frank, Landrith Parker and others. Library Round Table The Library Round Table was organized about six years ago by a group of students who had just completed the library science course. The purpose of the club was to keep in direct touch with the library, which the people did by hav- ing occasional meetings. At the meetings new books were reviewed and those which had been added to the library were discussed. All students taking the library science course were eligible for membership. Although the meetings of the club this year have been few, the year has been a successful one. The officers of the year were: Albert Spencer, presi- dentg Robert Richards, vice-presidentg and Mary Elizabeth Godfrey, secretary-treasurer. At the first meeting our adviser, Miss Allen, gave a very interesting report of the American Library Association Convention, which was held in Chi- cago. She also told of the splendid book exhibits at the Century of Progress Exposition, and of the value of seeing them. N Last spring a most enjoyable lawn party was held at the Q home of Orise and Nathaniel X Hill. lt is hoped that a similar event will be possible this year, as Mrs. Hill has very graciously extended to the club an invita- tion to come again. Senior Delphi Ulwadam Chairman, what is this Delphi busi- ness ? Well, the Hbusinessl' of being a Delphian is one of the most profitable and enjoyable diversions of- fered among the extra-curricular activities at East High. Regular weekly meetings include some par- liamentary drill, amusing speeches, and reports of current events. For the practical rules of parlia- mentary law, the book 'fRoberts' Rule of Orderl' is consulted, and the club members are efficiently trained in conducting business meetings. The biennial block Trial, a comedy featuring an assault and battery case, was one of the most suc- cessful activities of the club. Later in the season the Delphian dance afforded a delightful evening for Delphians and alumni. The officers of the society for the second semester were: Burton Burkhardt, presidentg Daisy Cross, vice-presidentg Peg Ellis, secretaryg Alice Larson. treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms, Robert Reuss. Mr. Hunter, our faculty ad- viser and critic, has aided in many ways toward the success of the society. Membership is open to Juniors and Seniors i who adopt as their m o t t o Once a Delphian, always a Delphiann. Junior Delphi Junior Delphi, a club open to all freshmen and sophomores, has been very successful during the past year. This was due not only to the capable officers, but also to the guidance of our faculty adviser, lVIr. Blackman, who was ever ready to correct our mistakes and to help us in making our club one of the best in the school. Officers of the club for the first semester were: Ruth Brown, president, Elinor Stine, vice-presidentg Doris Schroeder, secretary, Gail Thompson, treas- urerg and Robert llliller, sergeant-at-arms. Elinor Stine proved a very capable leader upon the trans- ferring of our president to another school. The second semester Fee Swanson took over the duties of president, with Fred Suhler as vice-president, Betty Anne Miller as secretary, Dorothy VVeigel as treas- urer and Robert Nliller as re-elected sergeant-at- arms. The meetings, consisting of business sessions and programs, were held every Thursday during the seventh period. The programs of the past semester were both varied and interesting because of the co- operation of the members with the officers. Many of our members look forward to entering Senior Delphi, anticipating a continuance of this enjoyable Work. I-li-Y Our Hi-Y Club of East High officially closed a most successful year with an inspir- ing lvfother and Son banquet. ' Throughout the year of 1933 and 1934 many prominent local men addressed the club on voca- tional and inspirational subjects. Included in this group were such men as Mr. K. D. VValdo, Dr. Dreyer, Lawyer Keating, Dr. Lind- bergh, and Judge Allen. This East High Club is a member of the National Association of Hi-Y clubs. The purpose of the association is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high stand- ards of Christian character. This year the Aurora Hi-Y clubs, both East and VVest, entertained the f'Big Fourl' conference which is composed of Joliet, Elgin, West Aurora and East Aurora. December l, 2, and 3, the president of the organi- zation was sent to Springfield to represent East High at the State Older Boys' Conference. The officers for this year were Bob Richards, president, Bill Nunn, vice-president, and Landrith Parker, secretary-treasurer. Qur membership totaled 34 including Mr. Geil, faculty adviser and lyfr. E. B. Davis, adviser from the Y. RT. C. A. Science Club Though a comparatively new organization, the Science Club, under the advisership of Messrs. Stutz and Gunderson, had a very successful year. Several interesting programs were featured, in- cluding a talk on astronomy by Norman C. Golz, class of '30, and one by G. W. Ackerlovv. A movie projector was jointly purchased by the club with money supplied by dues and chemistry- breakage fees, Junior High, and the Parent-Teach- ers Association, and thus far it has proved valuable in classroom work. By purchasing two films and sending them to a film library at the University of Illinois, many educational pictures were made available for the use of the school. The purpose of the Science Club is to bring to the students subjects of scientific interest, which otherwise could not be discussed, and to further interest in all fields of science. Only students who have had or are taking chemistry or physics are eligi- ble for membership. The regular meetings of the club are held each first and third Thursday of every school month. The club elects its officers for the term of one year. This yearls officers are Wilbur Golz, president, Everett Schumacher, vice-presidentg joe Gleason, sec- retary-treasurer. Silver Triangle During the past year the Silver Triangle has had a very happy and profitable year under the guidance of Miss Dorothy Underwood, adviser. Betty Hard- ing filled the office of president very capably, with the assistance of Pearl Chase and Josephine Ochsenschlager, vice -president and secretary-treas- urer, respectively. VVe had as our theme the triangle itself, trying to develop the body, mind, and spirit. To accom- plish this we had talks from all the branches of life. We held a spring party for the Girl Reserve organ- izations of the neighboring communities. A Teach- ers' Tea and a lylothers' Tea were also enjoyed. Probably one of the most outstanding events of the year was the Setting-Up Conference , held at Quarryledge, the Girl Reserve camp. We spent a week-end there at which time we received the ideas of other Girl Reserves. During that time we planned a Girl Reserve paper with Genevieve lwiller as editor. assisted by Virginia McGowan, Ethel Pauly, Betty Crowel, and Bar- bara O'Malley. The other officers of the club were: iwarion Bennett, song ' leader, Ethel Pauly, reporter, Y and Dorothy Keck, program chairman. Girls' Commercial Club In looking over the year of 1934, we find that the Girls' K 7 Commercial Club has added one I I more successful year to its history. 5255555252555 We have been boosters for our clubis interests as well as charity doners. At Christmas time we sent a large basket to a needy family. It has been our aim to get as many girls as pos- sible interested in joining the club, since this enables us to form a stronger bond between the girls and the commercial department. To help the club financially, we have had charge of the candy concession during the noon hour of the last semester. As the club has no dues, the money earned here has found a ready use. Many interesting programs were presented dur- ing the year consisting of talks, singing, dancing, and plays. Miss Comiskey has been adviser of the Girls' Commercial Club for five years. This year she was assisted by the following officers: first semester: Eleanor Stoner, president, Violet Schramer, vice- presidentg Mary Jane Gage, secretary-treasurerg second semester: Margaret Ellis, president, Irene Lange, vice-presidentg Daisy Cross, secretary- treas- urer. Rifle Club Although the Rifle Club is a comparatively new organization at East High School, a great deal of interest has been shown in it. New recruits have taken the places left vacant by some of the original members, and next year promises to bring out a great many more Hgun-mindedl' boys. The club has several purposes: that of training for expert marksmanship, the care of firearms, and competition with the other clubs. lllembers are taught the need for extreme caution in the use of firearms and that carelessness cannot be tolerated. Any student under eighteen who is willing to support and practice the Rif1eman's Code is eligible to the club. Several matches have been held with similar clubs. Competition between the East and 1Vest Side Rifle Clubs is very keen. The club meets every Wednesday night at a well- equipped range on River Street. This privilege is granted the club through the courtesy of the Senior Rifle Club, and is greatly appre- ciated by the boys. The ofiicers for 193-l were: President, H e n r y Shannong vice - president, James Yocumg secretary - treasurer, Nathanael Hill. lylr. Hugh Parker is the club instructor and adviser. Archery Club The fall of 1933 found the Q Y S East High Archery Club cele- brating its Hrst birthday. ' 4 Officers elected for 1933-34 N were: Gordon Teichman, presi- Q dentg Harriet Palmer, vice- presidentg and Mirizim Nelson, secretary-treasurer, with lVIiss French, gym instructor, as our adviser. Early in 1934 a new idea was proposed by one of the members. Why not shoot for a prize? A mug was suggested as the prize, but when the treas- urer announced there was at least forty cents in the treasury, it was decided to purchase a loving cup. CA small pewter sugar bowl, which did re- semble a loving cup, was finally obtainedj. In the winter, the club met every Tuesday during the sixth hour in the attic. At each meeting the person who made the highest score had his name engraved on the cup. At graduation time the cup was awarded to the person having his name engraved on the cup the greatest number of times. No doubt this trophy will remain a cherished possession of the winner. When spring rolled around and the weather per- mitted, the club met at the athletic field for outdoor shooting, thru the kind permission of Mr. Davis, athletic director at East High. Flying Squadron Looking back, the members of the Flying Squadron view with satisfaction the school year of 1933-34. The officers who guided the destinies of the club for the first semester were: VVilbur Golz, president, Lowell Ruhr- man, vice-president, Lennis Mitcllell, secretaryg and Joe Gleason, treasurer. This semester was given over entirely to reorgan- ization and no new members were taken in. At the first of the next semester, John Bursh was elected president. His aids were Lennis lllitchell, vice-president, Herbert Stallman, secretaryg and Richard Thornton, treasurer. New members were solicited and a consultation group was formed. This group met every day in the room of the adviser, lvlr. Carlson. lt was here that many plans which led to the success of the club were formulated and explained to the club. In April an identification of types of planes was sponsored by the club and opened to all high school students who were not members of Flying Squadron. About fifty model planes built by the boys were displayed and received much favorable comment. The honors of the contest prove woman's place in aviation for Harriet Palmer won the high score. Industrial Club The Industrial Club is a new organization that has entered into East High activities. lt was started in 1933 by Roy Dittman and Bruce Wiley. This year the club was late in getting started but it has progressed rapidly. lts purpose is to acquaint boys with the industries in which they are interested. All members of the club must be juniors or seniors. The membership is limited to twenty-five boys. Like all organizations of this type, this club has certain officers. They are: Stanley Edwards, president, lviinard Utis, vice president, and Dick Williams, secretary. The faculty adviser is Mr. Carlson. If nothing prevents, the boys should have a much broader knowledge of various industries in the future, because they have many interesting trips planned. The places the club visited are: the C. B. and Q. Coach Shop, the C. B. and Q. Switching Tower, the Elgin Watch Factory, the Independent Tool Company, Miller-Bryant-Pierce, the Stevens Adams Factory, and many other factories in and around Aurora. Of course, such an interest- ing club must have rules. If a nyo n e has two unexcused absences, he is automatically dropped because of the waiting list. Q Drama Stagecraft and dramatic in- terpretation are the two subjects studied in the drama course under the direction of Miss Bredlow. The third hour class, the be- ginnerls class, is introduced to the fundamentals of the stage. Here the development of the drama is studied from the earliest performances on the hillsides of ancient Greece to the present-day theatres with all their modern equipment and modern plays, realistic and suggestive. Work in design and makeup is a part of the course in the third hour classg costuming and light- ing are also studied. As individual projects minia- ture stage models are constructed and set for a scene from one of the plays which the student has read. Each drama student is required to read five one- act plays and five plays of more than one-act every semester. Reference reading from books on the production of plays may be substituted for some plays. The fourth hour students take the advanced course, which deals with the dramatic interpreta- tions. Included in this course are analyses of the various types of plays, the construction of a play, dramatic criticisms, a study of the movies, pan- tomime, voice and diction, and participation in choric reading. The presentation of an original monologue or one-act play is the individual project of this group. Miss Bredlow trains those who have taken drama for a year or more in directing and making adapta- tions of plays, as well as staging them. Two from this class, Merrianne Brandt, a post graduate, and Ruth Johnson, assisted her in directing the Auroran Variety Show, and ,lean Hannon and john Wells aided with the scenery and the staging of the show. On of the features of the course in drama is a visit to the Paramount Theater. Here the students inspect the various equipment backstage, climb to the gridiron at the top of the stage, receive a closeup of the perforated screen on which the moving pic- tures are shown, and visit the dressing rooms where the feeling of being an actual performer is experi- enced. Among the plays given by the different classes were Christmas Eve at Bracebridge Hall, adapted for the stage by Mary Godfrey, f'Fourteen'l by Alice Guerstenbergg The China Pig by Evelyn Emigg a children's play taken from Grimm's fairy tale of Rumplestiltskin g and two one-act plays 'lNeighbors,' by Zona Gale and 'fThe Dear De- partedll by Stanley Houghton. Several of these were directed by students of the classes. Parent-Teacher Association The Parent-Teacher Association of East High School has been truly a friend in need this past year. lt has willingly contributed to every deserv- ing cause and has aided needy students directly, or indirectly thru some other school organization. The club met only every other month, but the variety and interest of the meetings partially com- pensated for the scarcity. Mrs. Sperry very capably executed her duties as president of the organization, and was assisted by Mrs. Schmahl, vice-president, and Miss Gertrude Pittz, secretary-treasurer. At the October meeting, Mrs. E. G. Thompson, Superintendent of Schools of St. Charles, spoke on a subject of vital interest to all parents and teachers, 'fThe Public School Situation. The several excel- lent classical selections presented by East High's own orchestra, under the leadership of Miss Pouk, were greatly enjoyed by the appreciative audience. In keeping with the season, the December meeting featured a most interesting Christmas Play enacted by the drama class under the direction of Iyliss Bredlow. The play, depicting an old-fashioned Christmas in England, was an adaptation of Wash- ington Irving's Christmas Evef' At the February meeting, Mrs A. R. Williams of Normal, Illinois, the first vice-president of the Illi- nois State Congress of the Parent-Teacher Associa- tion, addressed the joint meeting of the East and West councils of the organizations. The West High School orchestra and the East Aurora lllothers' Chorus furnished the musical entertainment. Brief talks on the school situation facing the schools of Illinois were given by Superintendents Smith and Waldo of the West and East School systems. Mrs. Schmahl was the efficient chairman of the committee responsible for the success of the card party held at East High on April 2. All of the receipts from the sale of the tickets as well as from the sale of candy at the party were turned over to the treasury of the Senior Class of 1934. In lllarch when the annual Rough Neck Day arrived, the P. T. A. upheld its tradition of sup- plying cakes galore and assisting in making the day a success. Again in May, when plans were being made for securing a loud speaker system for the auditorium, the P. T. A. came to the front, volunteering to assist the classes of '34 and '35 if aid were needed. All of these acts of helpful- ness which the organization has performed in a year's time are steps toward the fulfillment of its purpose-the creation of a mutual understanding by par- ents and teachers of the prob- lems of high school education. V Back ROWi-ATKTBTSOII, Perry, Reuss, Kneehtel, Stiles, Sehwingel, Zenner. Front Row-Amundsen, Hamilton, Mr. Blackman, Mr. Attigg Thomson, Suhler, Debate East High climaxed a successful debate season by finishing third in the annual Big Six Debate Tour- nament which was held lllarch 20 and 24. This year the question for debate was Resolved: That the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of radio control and operation. The respective sides of the question were upheld by the following teams: AFF1Rx1A'1'1vn Thomas Alderson Jules Barnat Robert Reuss CCaptainD NEoATIvi2 Thais Hamilton Joe Suhler lVIanley Perry fCaptainJ The 193-l season opened on February 26 with the Red and Black debaters meeting lVlaine Township High School of UesPlaines. This was followed by other non-decision debates with lkfooseheart, llflen- dota, and Newark high schools and the Toastmas- ters, Club of Aurora. The first decision debate of the year was held lVIarch 14 and the East afhrma- tive defeated the Sandwich negative team. The fol- lowing evening, however, East Highls negative lost to the Sandwich affirmative. The first conference debate with VVest High, which took place lllarch 20, resulted in a victory for the East High negative but the East affirmative lost. ln the second round of conference debates at Rockford, the East High affirmative defeated Joliet, Freeport, and Rockford but dropped a decision to Elgin, the conference champions. The East nega- tive won their first debate of the second round from Joliet but lost the other three to Elgin, Freeport. and Rockford. til The affirmative during the season won four de- bates and lost two, while the negative took two decisions and dropped four, giving East High a season record of six wins and the same number of defeats. Mr. Attig coached the affirmative and Mr. Blackman had charge of the negative. The BH team debaters, who were lVIerry Jane Thomson, Ralph Zenner and Barron Knechtel, affirmative, and William Schwingel, Robert Amund- sen, and Stanley Stiles, negative, received valuable experience by meeting the West High reserve team in a non-decision debate. New members were added to the East High chap- ter of the National Forensic League during the year and four old members received high degrees for participation in forensic contests. Nfanley Perry and Robert Reuss received the Degree of Distinc- tion for earning more than one-hundred credit points, and Joe Suhler and Jules Barnat were awarded the Degree of Excellence for having sixty points. The chapter officers for the year were blan- ley Perry, president, Robert Reuss, vice-president, and Joe Suhler, secretary. ln lkfay, East High entered the annual Big Six Forensic Contest. Representatives, who were chosen by preliminary contests at East High, were entered in both the original oratory and extemporaneous speaking divisions.

The Speculum Staff Twenty-four industrious seniors with beaming faces met in Miss Turnerys room last October six- teenth with plans for putting Out the very best Speculum ever published by the seniors Of East High. It is quite an honor to be a member of the Speculum staff, for- one is chosen, not by the stu- dents, but by the teachers, who have a keen knowl- edge of the abilities Of the various seniors and thus place them accordingly on the staff. Miss Turner, the faculty literary adviser, an- nounced that Connie Clare would edit the year book. Naturally that young lady was more than Hthrilledl' at the opportunity of editing the twenty- second volume of the East High Speculum. Her right hand man, or rather woman, was Virginia Reavell, whose assistance was most helpful. One of the most difficult positions to fill well is that of literary editor. However, with Ruth Brink- man at the helm of that department, assisted by Ruth Johnson, Jean Smith, Ralph Eberly, Bob Richards and Landrith Parker, the work though long and strenuous, was accomplished on the dot, accurately and efficiently. My, what a job Marian Burrell had in seeing to it that all the members of the Senior Class, the various sections and the clubs had their pictures taken on schedule. Those in the photography de- partment know that it is not so easy to accomplish this task. However, under the efficient guidance of Marian, with Richard Thornton and Joe Glea- son assisting her, the work of cutting, mounting, and labeling was completed in ample time to be placed into the hands Of the engraver. The art used in the designing of the Speculum was furnished by a special committee composed of ambitious young artists, Shirley Palmer, chairman, with Ray Gasper and Roy Connor as assistants. Naturally there is a great deal of business which must be transacted in publishing a year book. With Leola Tews, Cyrilla Seifen and LaVyrne Kreitz as his assistants, Everett Schumacher managed this side of the annual with Mr. Stutz as faculty adviser. The circulation department was taken care Of by Erwin Kieso with William Gawzner, Doris Bower- ing and Roberta Abell as his helpers. Dorothy VVeisgerber, Miriam Rokey, Violet Schramer, Goldie Amdal, and Dorothy Slaker industriously typed the many pages of our book. The money for the publication Of this book was not raised through contributions by the business men. The seniors decided that in these days of depression it would hardly be fair to ask the merchants to con- tribute, when they themselves were having to crimp and saven so, in order to make ends meet. There- fore a finance committee, with Bob Trimble as chairman, was appointed. This committee raised the necessary money for the publication of the annual by giving several dances, HThe Superstition Strug- gle,', 'fThe S. 0. S. fSave Our Specj Dancey' and two after the Freeport and Elgin Basketball games. A dog show, with Zandra, Tarzan, and Play Boy, the three famous dogs of the movie world, brought in more money and a card party given by the Senior 1 a I I mothers also aided us financially.

A capable staff, publishing the well written paper bi-monthly, introduced many new features this year. roran Staff and published a large annual Christmas issue. The eight page paper has become a tradition at Christ- mas time with its special Christmas stories and poems. A linebook reprinting all the best jokes and poems used in the Bowl of Applesauce in the last year was published and made available to the students at a small price, as a means of raising money for main- Four columns covering various fields of news were inaugurated, making the Auroran a very in- teresting paper to read.

Ruth Johnson and Henry McCance supplied human interest in their columns, lVIicro- scopic Jay and At the Keyhole With hlrs. Casey. Because of the excellent work done by members of the staff, two important awards denoting jour- nalistic merit were received by the Auroran during the last year. Quill and Scroll, the National Hon- orary Society for high school journalists, presented the Auroran with a first place rating in their survey of high school papers throughout the countrv, and the Scholastic',, sponsor of the Scholastic Editor contests, awarded the Auroran witl1 a second place rating. Bllfll awards were high honors for the Auroran. Early last fall twelve representatives of the East High Auroran attended the Big Six Press Confer- ence at Rockford. It was announced at the meeting that East High will be the scene of tl1e conference for the coming year, and will act as host to the other conference schools at the next Big Six Press Conference, to be held next fall. The following people from East High attended: Mr. Geil, Jeanne Walker, Peg Ellis, Ruth Johnson, Jane Elfervig, Betty Trimble, Robert Hesselbaum, Joe Suhler, Robert Richardson, Robert Reuss, Lloyd Mathers, and Charles Hutchison. The Auroran, although it is usually a four page paper, carried on the tradition of the last few years taining the Auroran.

The Senior Class Play There was a general squeaking of seats and a murmur of suppressed excitement as the audience settled itself, eagerly anticipating the parting of the curtains on the first act of the Senior Class Play, The Late Christopher Bean,', by Sidney Howard. Slowly the curtains drew apart to reveal the lovely dining-room in the home of Dr. Haggett, a typical New England country doctor. The scenery, de- signed by the art department under the direction of Miss Shirley and Miss Lamoreaux, provided a perfect background for the colonial interior. The story centers around Abby, a servant in the Haggett household, the only person who really ap- preciated the paintings of Chris Bean while he was still alive. Ten years after his death, the true value of his work is realized and is consequently in great demand. Sometime later the publication of his personal letters reveals to the art patrons that he had left his paintings in the possession of Dr. Hag- gett with whom he had stayed the latter part of his life. Museums and art collectors storm Dr. Hag- gett with breath-taking offers for the pictures which he had considered absolutely worthless. He is driven to distraction when Mrs. Haggett admits that she had burned all of the paintings because they had taken up too much room. ln desperation Dr. Hag- gett takes Ahbyys portrait of herself, painted by Bean, and hurriedly sells it. just as the elated pur- chaser is leaving with this masterpiece, Abby en- ters. No amount of persuasion can induce Abby to part with her beloved portrait. ln the course of the ensuing conversation, Abby explains that she had rescued the seventeen pictures which Mrs. Hag- gett had thrown on the fire and had kept them. The joy of the Haggett family is unbounded as they find the means to great wealth within their grasp. Their dreams collapse suddenly when Abby blurts out that she had been secretly married to Bean just before his death and that he had left her all of his works. She has no desire for wealth and is deter- mined to keep his pictures forever, faithful to his memory. The romantic interest is supplied by the affair of the younger Haggett girl, Susan, and Warren Creamer who is just gaining recognition as an artist. llliss Thomas again proved her unusual ability as a coach, as the play, a very diflicult production, was presented with a finish seldom found on an amateur stage. This year a new feature, that of omitting time between acts, was introduced. The curtains dropped but were raised immediately to denote the passing of time. This was one of the first times such an idea has been tried on a stage outside of New York and it proved most successful. The production was presented to the Mooseheart children on Tuesday, April 3. This proved very successful and was of great assistance to the young artists, for it gave them more confidence in prepara- tion for the big nightu.

The Junior Class Play The lights faded to dimness, a hush came over the audience, the curtains parted, and on Friday evening December 15, 1933, the Junior Class of East High presented 'fHonor Bright, a three act comedy by lyferedith and Kenyon Nicholson, before a capacity crowd in the school auditorium. The play was directed by Miss Eliza Thomas, capable dramatic and English instructor of the school. The setting of the story was the living room at Rockmere,'l Beach Haven, Massachusetts, the home of lllrs. Barrington. The scenery, built by the art classes of the school, made an attractive hack- ground. The story centered about Honor Bright, who was a book agent, selling reference books to pay her ex- penses through college. During the course of her first dayys work she strayed into the Barrington home. Dick, the only son, was engaged to a chorus girl, whom his mother had invited to visit Rock- mere. Dick's uncle and Aunt Peggy had stopped off on their way to Europe for the sole purpose of seeing Dick's fiancee, but she failed to appear. Dick became frantic, and in order to avoid embarrass- ment he decided to enlist the services of the book agent with the understanding that she leave after dinner. It was important for Dick to please his Aunt Peggy because it was expected that she would leave him a portion of her wealth in later years. In the meantime, the chorus girl arrived and much disturbance was created, as she refused to leave and permit Dick's relatives to remain with the original idea of the chorus girl. After much ex- citement Bill Drum, a suitor of Tot the chorus girl, arrived. and she impetuously decided to leave with him. Nleanwhile Honor Bright had become the ideal of the family, and after her identity was dis- closed she and Dick became engaged. lX'Iuch credit should go to bliss Shirley and bliss Lamoreaux and the student committee from the art department who planned and made all the scenery. One cannot imagine the amount of work neces- sary for producing such a play. For several months, lVIiss Thomas with her twenty-two faithful juniors, practiced each evening after school. The result was well Worth the time spent. The simplicity and genuine feeling of the sketch, combined with the sympathetic manner in which the players handled it, made Honor Bright one of the finest Junior Class plays in some time.

This has been proved by the fact that there are one hundred thirty-eight enrolled in the lfast High band. livery day during the eighth hour each member is busy learning his part of the music. Our director, llr. Rosenbarger, and the assistant director, llflr. l itzGerald, are both highly accredited for the successful bands turned out at lfast High each year. During the past year the band has played varic-us engagements, such as parades, football 'ind basket- ball games, graduation exercises, and numerous other places where it showed credit both to itself and to the school. bluch of the success of our teams can be attributed to the spirit that is shown by the band. 'llhanksgiving Day when the annual football game was held, over one hundred boys from our band appeared resplendent in red and black uniforms. Between halves, the VVest High band combined with the East High band to form a large ICA while our loyalty song was played and sung by the spec- tators. Later a large 'AVV AH was formed in the same manner with the loyalty song of our com- petitors ringing out in the cold November day. At the National Contest held in lfvanston last April, 1933, we were classed as being one of the best bands in the entire nation and were placed in the first division. The annual fall and spring concerts were received most enthusiastically by the public. ln the spring concert, the contest numbers such as Finlandia, mfhe Roman Carnivalf' and 'fln Springtimef' were played along with other lighter overtures, marches and novelty numbers. The band operates on the same basis as that of any organization. lfach year a president, secretary and librarian are elected. Each officer performs bis assigned duty. This year YVayne VVigton acted as president with Walter -lohnson as librarian. East High can feel proud to be able to say that it is a school possessing one of the best musical or- ganizations in the country. One of the most valuable assets to the band is the Band Boostersn organization. 'llhis year, under the capable leadership of Xlr. A. L. Johnson, presi- dent, blr. Tennant, vice-president, and lllr. Art lkliller, secretary-treasurer, the club raised enough money to send the boys to Des bloines, lowa, to compete in the National Band Contest. However, the Uboostersn aided the band in more ways than this one. VVhen cars were necessary to take the boys out of town, they were immediately supplied, in ad- dition to this the band suits were put in order and the instruments cleaned and repai1'ed. 'llhe parents and friends of any band boy are members of the club and always live up to their motto, Boost the bandf' The Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club, under the leadership of Miss Margaret Pouk, has completed a year made doubly interesting by participation in musical events not only at home, but also outside of Aurora. Twenty members of the club made seven trips to Elgin and Maywood in preparation for a concert given in Chicago in April. This concert is an annual affair sponsored by the ln-and-About Chicago Club, which consists of the supervisors of thirty-one high schools in and about Chicago. The concert for this year was given at the Auditorium Theater in Chi- cago, not only for the regular audience Cparents, friendsl, but also for the participants in the Nation- al Convention of hflusic Educators which was meet- ing at Chicago. The choral numbers were directed by lVIr. Lee Osbourne of the Proviso High School FIRST S E IV1 IZSTIZR at hlaywood, with Sir Hugh Roberton as guest conductor. Sir Roberton directed the number 'iCel- tic Hymn , his own composition. lt gave the boys and girls an unusually close contact with their music in that they were singing under the baton of the composer. It also afforded them great pleasure to appear on a program in which the eminent director, VValter Damrosch, took part. Dr. Damrosch direct- ed the ln-and-About Chicago Orchestra in blas- scnet's HPhedreH. At home, the girls enjoyed acting as hostesses to the chorus members participating in the Fox River Music Festival held at East High on hiay ll. The club this year was an unusually large one, and, as can be seen, one of unusual success, partly due to these leaders: SECOND Sizmizsriiu Irene Backstrom . ..... ,....,,. .......

The boys who are members of the club this year, have shown unusual enthusiasm along with ability to present songs. Along with others, the following songs were studied: Home on the Range , Sol- diers Chorusu QFaustj by Gounod, John Peel CEng- lish Folk Songj arranged by Andrews, Keep in de hfliddle of de Roadn, a Negro Spiritual, l'Bells of the Sean, The Tinker's Song , and some A capella material. At the Fox River Valley llflusic Festival held at East High in the spring, the boys sang John Peeln, Soldiers Chorusn from Faust and 'iKeep in de lVliddle of de Roadfl Together with the girls, the cantata HA Song of Victory , by Fletcher was pre- sented. This is an unusually difficult num- ber seldom attempted by high schools. However, under the leadership of ivlr. Ray D'vorak of the Lvniversity of Illinois, who Eight of the boys, Jules Moore, Ronald Reiland, Maurice hlisner, Frank McKinney, Charles Hines, Carl Schindel, Ray Gasper and John Nieman, were selected from the group and sent to the ln-and- About Chorus at Chicago. The two outstanding numbers sung by the boys were l'Howdy Do bliss Springtime , by David VV. Guion, and the vigorous and inspiring song UHigh Harbarryw, a chanty arranged by Arthur E. Hall. In addition to the boys glee club, bliss Pouk also directed what was known as the Boys! Chorus. The junior-Senior boys and the Freshman-Sopho- more boys practiced alternately during the sixth period on Tuesdays. They appeared on different programs throughout the year. The boys hope this chorus will be continued next year. The officers of the glee club elected for the second semester were: Ray Gasper, president, Carl Schindel, vice-presidentg and Darwin Valentine, secretary-treasurer. ,774 acted as guest conductor of the festival, the number was presented by the chorus in a splendid manner. Doris Buckley assisted as pianist the first semester and Edith Ernst accompanied dur- ing the second semester. 'irst Vi.o1ins4.Xbel1, llasle-iii, Tlriiikman, Molitor, Ziegler, lillakinaer.

This was a demon- This enrollment surpasses any in the history of the stration of the work being done in this department. school. ln the past year with the co-operation of Miss Pouk, the director, and the members, this or- ganization has strengthened and accomplished its aim. The orchestra meets each day during the fifth period. However, numerous sectional rehearsals are held outside of school. These rehearsals are cen- ducted for the purpose of perfecting each individ- ual's part. Not only does this help the orchestra as a whole but it tends to broaden the ability of each player. It has always been Miss Pouk's aim to include in the repertoire of the orchestra, compositions which would prove interesting and still cover the entire field of orchestral music from the earliest classics to the present day composers. The fulfillment of this ideal not only offers train- ing in playing in an ensemble but in becoming ac- quainted with the better forms of music. Among the classical compositions that have been studied in the p21St year are: The Fifth Symphony , by Beethoven, and The Surprise Symphony, by Haydn. Included as studies of the romantic period are , Valse Triste, by Sibelius, Phedre,y' by lVIas- senet, and Buy Blas, by Nlendelssohn. The Four Way Suitef' by Hadley, and 'LThe Rhapsody in Blue, by Gershwin, are representatives of the ultra-modern type of music. ..69.. The orchestra also played at other occasions, includ- ing the Junior and Senior class plays, and the grad- uation exercises. This year the members chosen for the National High School Orchestra which gave its concert in Chicago at the Auditorium Theater, April ll, were: Roberta Abell and Shirley Bell, violinsg Harold Benson and Walter Johnson, French-horns, Ralph Lowe, cornetg Robert Teichman, flute, Wayiiie Wigton, clarinet, and Robert McElroy, bassoon. The main purpose of this orchestra, which was com- posed of In-and-About-Chicago high school musi- cians, was to provide entertainment for the Nation- al Supervisors Convention. This was a great op- portunity to enlighten and broaden the musical background of the school musicians. The East High Orchestra is organized in Il man- ner similar to all other school clubs and organiza- tions. Each year new officers are elected. The presiding officers of this year were: VVayne VVigton, president, Donald Testin, Vice-presidentg and Cath- erine Doering, secretary-treasurer. Miss Poulc indeed deserves a great deal of credit for her splendid work in developing an orchestra of such high calibre as that of liast High. It takes not only co-operation from the entire group of stu- dents but it requires a director who is familiar with every phase of music. The Fox Valley Music Festival Un llflay 11, the music department of liast High School acted in the pleasant capacity of host to the Fox River Valley high schools in a Spring hflusic Festival. This is an annual affair, each school tak- ing turns in entertaining the others. The combined hands presented their concert in the afternoon. lklr. Rosenbarger, chairman of band activities for the festival, conducted the first group of hand selections, and lvlr. Ray Dvorak from the University of Illinois was guest conductor. The numbers presented by the band were as fol- lows: 'fVVashington Post Marchn by Sousa. Finale Overture by Losey Black Jack lllarchl' hy Huffer f'HuldigunsmarschH by Grieg 'fMarch of the Spanish Soldieryyl by de Smetsky fShepherd of the Hillsn by Holmes Cuckoo lllarchu by Goldman f'The Silver Chord Uverturel, hy O'Neil f'The lVlilitary Bandl' by Yoder f'Spiritual Rivers by Gault 'fStars and Stripesl' by Sousa The audience was favorably impressed with the quality of music shown by these high school bands. Here, no doubt, was seen, one of the proofs of Illinois' high ranking in producing nationally famous bands. The combined orchestras presented the first part of the evening program. lVIr. Dvorak conducted and Miss Emma Knudson of Elgin acted as chair- man of orchestral activities. The choice of selec- tions was superb. The compositions were as follows: 'fThe Fifth Symphony, First or Allegro lylove- ment, by Beethoven Valse Tristen by Sibelius, Opera 44 Marche Militaire Francaisel' by Saint Saens 'fMarch from Tannhauserv by Wagrier The vocal division, also directed by lllr. Dvorak, was under the guidance of Miss lVIargaret Dirks of Wheaton, who was chairman of the vocal activities. The Girls Glee Clubs sang three very impressive numbers, consisting of: The Windys in the Southly by Scott HPhilomel, Thy Magic Singingll by Scarlatti Let All My Life be lwusicy' by Spross The first number is a very sweet, gay song of beautiful spring, very appropriate for the occasion. The second number included some very difhcult coloratura soprano which was well done for such a large group. The Boys' Glee Clubs proved themselves worthy of every possible praise. They, too, were directed by Ray Dvorak. lVIr. VVayne Hertz of VVest Auro- ra was chairman. The songs presented were: 'flohn Peeln by Andrews HKeep in the Middle of the Road from the Yale Series HSoldiers' Chorus by Gounod lhliss Dirks of lVheaton arranged the boys' vocal numbers. Perhaps the most difficult number of all was that presented by the mixed chorus. A cantata by Percy li Fletcher, called 'AA Song of Victory,'l is a num- ber seldom even attempted by high school choruses. However, it was successfully presented in perfect style. The song is a very patriotic song, telling of the invaluable services of manhood and motherhood. The strength of sentiment embodied in the song did much toward making the singers put their best into it. The chairman of the mixed chorus group was lhlr. Harris of Geneva. llliss llrlargaret Pouk, the person most influential in putting East High's music department on the mapn, was chairman of the 193-1 Fox Valley Fes- tival. Miss Pouk had charge of all arrangements. Busy person that she is Miss Pouk always finds time to encourage students interested in finding the best in music. The excellent showing of the orchestra and the glee clubs made at the class plays and other public appearances speaks well for their director. The Fox Valley Music Festivals originated in 1927, when St. Charles entertained the young musi- cians. Since that year, eight annual festivals have been sponsored, each one proving more successful than the last. 1930, however, ushered in a new fea- ture, that of having bands take part also. The 1934 Spring Music Festival was a huge success in every way. It is the hope of every member of the music department that future festivals may prove as inter- esting and valuable to them as this one. ROY E. DAVIS Pals of Mr. Davis' college days would be very much surprised to see him as a biology teacher, for his one desire then was to become a doctor, even though he majored in economics and history. However, as the efficient athletic director of East High, they may more easily recognize him, for while in college he was literally full of athletics. For two years he played regular end on the football team, and in his last year he was captain of both the basketball and baseball teams. just recently he and his brother have written a Workbook in Biology for high school use, which is rapidly becoming popular in high schools of the middle west. GLEN C. 1'HOMPSON Football, track and basketball, all are in Tommy's life. On the football field he is supreme. He loves hard charging linemen and hard tackling backs. In track, he develops men that have shown little ability before into stars. In basketball, he likes a fighting, hard- passing fast team. He is a man of few words and when he does utter them, he means everything he says. He has a love for dogs, training all of them for rabbit hunting and racing. His dogs have won many prizes in the south. AARON ALBRIGHT In speaking of Coach Aaron Albright, you might easily say, He is a man of high honor with great ability in coaching boys. Six years ago, Mr. Albright came to Aurora, Since that first season, basketball has become one of the leading sports of East High. Mr. Albright surely deserves our admiration for the skill he has shown in forming a squad into a single fighting machine. Aside from basketball, the coach is interested in football, baseball and golf. ROY MQAFOOS My secret ambition is to write a science book. A rather unusual statement, coming from a football enthusiast, yet it is absolutely true. Mr. Roy McAfoos, who makes this confession, is the lightweight football coach at East High. He also teaches science and perhaps this accounts for his statement. Born in Southern Illinois, he attended Erving Prep College. Here he played full back on the football team and catcher on the baseball nine. At the University of Illinois, he earned his B.S. and M.A. degrees. Here he played full back and later, tackle on the Varsity Football team. Besides an interest in all sports and sciences, he has a hobby, fruit growing. With such varied interests, life must hold a great deal of adventure for Mr. McAfoos. C. G. GUNDERSON A graduate of Ripon College, Wisconsin, Mr. Gunderson came to East High in 1930. Besides earning awards in all major sports at college, he had full charge of athletics at two Wisconsin high schools before coming to East High. Through his tireless initiative and effort, he inaugurated into East High, our present intra-mural activities, for the benefit of all boys. In 1931, intra-mural basketball and diamond ball were introduced, while volleyball and horseshoes followed the next year. Gundy has shown himself to be a true sport, highly capable of his position as director of intra-mural activities. ESTHER FRENCH You will not End any teacher in the school better liked than Esther French. She is a fine athlete and teacher, perhaps because she grew up with the idea of teaching physical education. She graduated from Fort Wayne Indiana High and attended Illinois State Normal Uni- versity and Iowa State University. When, attending I.S.N.U., she was awarded the Mortar- Board which is the highest honor given to the most all-around senior girl, outstanding in scholarship, athletics and leadership. ..T1..

The pur- poses of this club are to promote interest in ath- letics and the out-of-doors, to teach girls how to be healthy and strong and to uphold the ideals of good sportsmanship. The officers of the club are president, Edith An- dersen, vice-president, Margaret Ellis, secretary, Nlargaret Bourelleg treasurer, Cyrilla Seifeng point secretary, Eloise Crowellg faculty adviser, lVIiss Esther L. French. Immediately after the opening of school in Sep- tember the tennis team was organized. The team made one trip out of town, that one being to Elgin, where they were defeated in a close match. Six- teen girls represented East High. A kid partym was given at the first of the year for the purpose of initiating the new members of the club. The initiation was in the form of trials in court. Outdoor sports, speedball and field hockey, were played from September till Thanksgiving. Field hockey was introduced as a new sport. Tumbling and tap dancing were also offered as after-schcol sports in the fall. The East High G. A. A. had the pleasure of be- ing hostess at two play days held at Young School in October. The schools represented at the first playday were Kankakee, Elgin, and Libertyville. Speedball, hockey, volley-ball, and basketball were played. Elgin and East Aurora girls also enjoyed a hockey play-day in the latter part of October. After Thanksgiving vacation the girls' basketball season opened. There were approximately 150 girls out for this sport during the season. Un Nlarch 19, the annual telegraphic basket-shooting tournament was held, closing the basketball season at East High. The class tournament was won by the Seniors. One of the high spots of the season was the an- nual basketball playday held at Elgin this year. One team from each of the four classes was sent. At the beginning of the second semester the girls then joining the club were initiated at a very clever Valentine Party. This initiation was in the form of a court of hearts. Thirty-three girls met the re- quirements and were allowed to join. Volley-ball season began in lVIarch. A section volley-ball tournament was held again this year with practically every girl in the school participat- ing. Baseball, track, tennis, hiking, archery, tap danc- ing, and tumbling were the spring sports. The an- nual gym class track meet was held in the late spring at the East High athletic field. Something unusual was begun in the way of a series of hikes. With the coming of spring a series of Hbuddy breakfasts was held. There were eight hikes, and points towards G. A. A. awards were given to girls completing all eight hikes. The awards won by participation in organized and unorganized sports were presented in lVIay in convocation. The annual all-sports banquet was held in lVIay. It is given to close the activities of the G. A. A., and to honor the arriving teams in the various sports. All girls who have been out for some sport during the year are eligible to attend. The camping t1'ip at Quarry-ledge, which is held each year, closed the G. A. A. activities. It is an event to which all the girls look forward and long remember.

Each season there are eight weeks of general prac- tice in which the senior, junior, sophomore, and freshmen girls play against each other. After the eight weeks of practice, a tournament is played by all girls who come out. Class teams are then chosen. These teams then play a tournament and the winners are the champions of the year. The girls chosen for the class teams for the year of 1934 were as follows: Seniors: E. Andersen, M.. Ellis, M. Burrell, M. Bourelle, C. Seifen, 1. Sauer, E. Hazelwood, E. Crowel, captain. juniors: H. Richardson, M, Nelson, D. Numer- ich, L. Covert, E. Andresen, Nl. Jeffers, C. Doer- ing, M. Gage, captain. Sophomores: E. Andresen, xl. Willemin, 1. Reich- enbacker, W. Hemm, D. Schroeder, E.

TENNIS TEAM Qgren, Meyer, Nelson. Manager. v N., . 1 f f 74.. Tennh lnterscholastic competition for girls is permitted only in golf, tennis, and archery. Of the three sports, East High has found tennis the most inter- esting. ln September, thirty-nine girls entered the school tournament. The results were as follows: Connie Clare won the junior-senior division and Catherine Doering was runner-upg from the sophomore class, Kathryn Royston was winner and Emily Kish, run- ner-upg and from the freshman division, Bernice Krasinski was winner and Lois Schaefer runner-up. The three class winners then played for the school championship with honors going to Kathryn Roys- ton and Connie Clare, champion and runner-up re- spectively. On October 4, 1933, the tennis team journeyed to Elgin. Out of nine sets, East High won three. The spring program was quite full-Elgin and Mendota played here, and the tennis team played Kankakee at Kankakee. The members of the tennis team were: Seniors: Daisy Cross, Connie Clare, lVlarian Burrell. Jun- iors: Virginia Frenier, Miriam Nelson, and Jean- ette Wollenweber.

Speedball Speedball was introduced for the first time at East High in the fall of l932. lt is a combination of soccer and basketball. The game is played outdoors. East High did not have sufficient space, so the Young School playground was used. The sophomore team which consisted of C. Jacobs, left wing, S. Schuster, left inner, D. Weigel, center forward, I Reichenbacker, right inner, G. Ahasic, right wing, NI. Welsh, left half back, R. Farley, right half back, E. Esnorff, left forward, D. Schroeder, right end, E. Andresen, co-captain, goal keeper, beat the freshmen by the score of 15-3. The freshman team consisted of H. Schaedler, D. Lee, F. lVIyer, D. Geist, P. Thorpe, V. Pai-low, J. Phillips, B. Hallgren, A. VVormwood, D. Ander- sen, J. Presbrey, captain, C. Bieschke, and L. Syver- son. The sopohomores being victorious played the jun- ior-senior team which consisted of D. Nurnerich, captain, F. Zaeske, H. Richardson, L. Covert, E. Andresen, M. Jeffers, M. Bourelle, M. Nelson, D. Biever, C. Dauwalder, G. Churchill, Edna Andre- sen, 1. Schaefer and E. Crowel, and beat them 20-l2. The girls who were out for speedball enjoyed it very much and are looking forward to another season when more skill will be developed. Field l-lockey Field hockey is a fast moving game played to a great extent in Eastern high schools and in almost all colleges. lt was played for the first time in re- cent years at East High school this year, being offered to sophomores, juniors and seniors and ac- cepted with great enthusiasm. Regular practices were held for sophomores alone while juniors and seniors practiced together. Class teams were chosen and at the end of the fall season a tournament was held to determine the class cham- pionship. The junior-senior team was victorious in a 4-I game. The sophomore hockey team players were: S. Schuster, captain, G. Ahasic, l. Reichenbacker, D. 'VVeigel, E. Jacobs, M. Welsli, W. Hemm, E. Thill, E. Andresen, D. Schroeder, R. Farley, Esnorlf. The junior-senior team was: M. Jeffers, Jr. captain, D. Numerich, lVI. Nelson, E. Andreson, E. Crowel, Sr. captain, F. Zaeske, G. Churchill, A. Andersen, M. Bourelle, M. Ellis. Hockey skill tests were given and those people who passed the skill tests were given twenty-four points to be credited to their G. A. A. award points. One of the tests was to make eight successful goal drives from eight different positions on the striking circle line. The other test was to be able to dribble fifty yards in sixteen seconds. Heavyweight Football Under good guidance and leadership, East High's team fared very well in the past season. Coach Thompson fashioned his team from four regulars and former substitutes. VVhen the season was ready to open, Captain Howard Eauth, left guard, pre- sented the following lineup to the public: Bill Hawking, left end, Wilbur Johnson, left tackleg Howard Fauth, left guard, Al Franzen, right tackle, Joe Vaughy, right end, Al Flynn, quarter back, Clem Coleman, left halfbackg Jack Connors, right halfbackg Ossie Federspiel, fullback, and John Miller, center. After a scrimmage with Oak Park on September 9, the Tomcats were ready for their first game, which came on September 22 with St. Charles. This first game proved to be a scoring spree for East High, for we were victorious by a score of 32 to O. The next test came on September 29 with the powerful York team of Elmhurst. This game did not prove as easy, but the Tomcats emerged from the struggle on top by a score of 19 to 0. On October 6, East High team played the highly praised team of Sterling lvlorton of Cicero. This team did not appear so good to our fans because our team won by the score of 32' to 0. Making their first trip from home on October 20, East High went to Joliet. The teams might just as well have gone in for swimming, because that is about all they did in the pool of mud and showers of rain. After both teams slid and skidded for four quarters, the game ended in a pleasing scoreless tie. Back on our home grounds on October 27, East High again showed a great running attack igainst the Pretzel team from Freeport. The game ended 19 to O in favor of East High. Elgin brought a powerful eleven to East High on November 4. This proved to be one of the hard- est games we had throughout the year. It was an even and hard fought battle, but East High man- aged to win by a score of 7 to 6. The second trip away from home on November ll proved disastrous for the Tomcats. They play- ed nip and tuck football with the heavy team from Rockford until the fourth quarter. Here Rockford managed to place-kick a field goal and by virtue of this they won by a score of 3 to 0. This sent the team back with its first and only defeat. For the last few years East has been playing Parker High from Chicago. This year they could not miss, so they played the strong team from the city and defeated them to the tune of 14- to 6. Now came the great climax in football as far as Aurora fans are concerned. The great Turkey-Day game was to be played on our field on November 30. This year there seemed to be a great deal of rivalry between the two sides and it was much to the joy of the East Side that we won 13 to 0. Thus ended our successful football season. Four men, Sabados, Hawking, Franzen, and Federspiel made the first All-Conference team. Sabados had the distinction of being picked on the third state team. Although seven out of the eleven players graduate, it seems quite probable that next yearls team has a good future in store for it under the leadership of Andy Sabados.

Lightweight Football Although our lightweights did not have such a good season, as far as the conference is concerned, they had a mighty fine team, small but with plenty of fight. They were coached by Coach lVIcAfoos, with Louis Pee Weei' Jakious as their captain. The line-up used for most of the season was: Stan lfllertson and lid Kaluza, endsg Glen Jeffers and Paul Seifrid, tackles, Boyden and Pyle, guards, Schumacher, center, Druschel, quarterback, Cooper and Jakious, halfbacks, and Piron or Schindleheck at fullback. On September 22 the East ponies used their run- ning attack to a good advantage, trouncing the St. Charles lightweights 25 to 0. On September 30 the lightweights took a trip to Oak Park. Here they continued to win and they trimmed Oak Park 13 to 0. ln this game the light- weights seemed to show a good running and passing attack. As lVlorton High had no lightweights, our team played the lightweights from Proviso. This was the last game before the opening of the conference, so in order to make a good impression on enemy conference teams, our ponies defeated Proviso by the score of 18 to 7. On October 20 the little fellows took their first conference journey to the prison city, Joliet. Rain all day long had made the field into a sea of mud. So the boys merrily splashed around for four quar- ters and ended the game in a scoreless tie. Next we were to meet Freeport on our field on October 27. These boys had a tough little team and our team, through hard tackling and blocking, was able to hold the Pretzelites to a scoreless tie. On November -l the conference champions for several years came to town. Elgin has always been known for its strong lightweight teams and it seem- ed sure that they would just add us to their long string of victories. Our boys played good football and held the maroon team also to a scoreless tie. VVith Armistice Day, November ll, came our game with Rockford at Rockford. So far we had played three conference games and we had no wins or defeats. All of our games were scoreless ties. This game with the rablets put an end to that, for they defeated our ponies 13 to 2. Although this was our first conference defeat, we had scored our first conference points in this game. At last came the game the boys had been waiting for. Of course this was the game with West High on November 25. The teams appeared to be even- ly matched and there even seemed to be a chance of our winning, but lVest High defeated our ponies by the score of 6 to 0. This ended our season. Of course with no con- ference victory, our standing was low. We ended up with three scoreless ties and two defeats to our credit. ln all our conference games we managed to squeeze out but two points. The lightweights will lose seven regulars by graduation. This will leave four regulars and the rest will be new material. This will give lWac,' the job of building up a new team which we hope will be a scoring team and one that will manage to stand high in the conference. Back Rowfliogers, Erdie, G.

Heavyweight Basketball The 1933-3-1 basketball season for the Albright- men was not as unsuccessful as the small number of wins seems to indicate. The Big Six Conference was tougher this year than it has been for several years. East High, however, played most of their best games against the leaders of the conference. The season opened with two games in a row. The first, the Red and Black lost at LaGrange 23 to 21 in the last minute of play. However they fully re- deemed themselves the following evening by soundly trouncing Graysville, lndiana, 25 to 17. Since Graysville was coached by Mr. Albrightls brother, the victory was doubly sweet. The conference opened a week later at lvest High, where East was defeated 20 to 18. After East led through the entire game until the last twenty seconds, a Red and Blue basket spelled de- feat for East. Rockford next invaded the East High gym and went home on the small end of a 20 to 17 score. The Red and Black, although playing a ragged game, managed to keep far enough in the lead to win. The following week the cagers took a long trip to Freeport and were defeated 25 to 18. This game was much closer than the score indicates, as the Red and Black were ahead at the end of the third quar- ter 18 to 17. However in the final quarter, the Pretzels went wild, scored seven points and held the local boys scoreless. The Joliet club, champions of the Big Six, next came to town and romped over our boys 35 to 20. The first half of the conference ended the follow- ing week at Elgin where the Red and Black were again beaten 42 to 28, after they had held the strong lldaroons to a three point advantage for three quar- ters. The Red and Black then played a return game here with LaGrange and defeated them 30 to 28 in two overtime periods. lVest High next invaded the East's floor to start the second round of the conference, and after losing 15 to 0 in the middle of the second quarter, the Red and Black put on a beautiful rally which ended the game at 23 all. After playing two overtinies, the Red and Blue held a one point advantage, 27 to 26. The two coaches, however, had agreed that the winner must be two points ahead, so it was called a tie, and was played off two weeks later with the Red and Blue winning 33 to 1-1-. East then traveled to Rockford where they were defeated 3-l to 22. However, they redeemed them- selves a week later here, by beating the Freeport team 31 to 28 in a beautifully played game. Joliet then defeated the locals, 36 to 25, on the huge Prisoners' floor, but the Red and Black played a very good game. Elgin closed the conference here by overpowering the locals 33 to 30, after the Red and Black had out- played and outscored them for three and a half quarters. The Albrightmen will lose only three men this year through graduation, so a powerful team is ex- pected next year. The three leaving are Captain Francis Hearn, Jack Connors and Frank Smith. The rest of the squad consisted of Habermeyer, Druschel, Flynn, -lim Smith, lVlcKidie, Emery, Ellertson, Edwards, Buttels, Lennert, VVelcher, Perkins, A. Phillips and C. Phillips. Francis Hearn was high scorer for the year with 76 points. james Smith was second with -11 and Bill Druschel made 29 for third.

Lightweight Basketball The record of the 1934 East High lightweight basketball season is a rather disastrous one, showing only two games won out of ten played. A good team was expected for the lightweights when only one man was lost last year through graduation. However, due to the loss of men because of weight, the remaining lettermen failed to Uciicku. The lightweights started by winning two hard- fought games against LaGrange and Graysville. The score at LaGrange was 22 to 17, while the Graysville team was beaten 23 to ll on our own floor. The conference season started off badly for us. VVe lost a heartbreaking game to YVest High by one point on their floor. However, the following week a defeat was handed to Rockford on our home floor. the East boys winning 20 to 17. ln the following three games, the Red and Black were defeated by Freeport, Joliet and Elgin, the Joliet game being played on the home lioor with a score of 3-1 to 22 in favor of Joliet. ln the second round of the conference, the Red and Black lightweights lost to VVest High again. which dampened the spirits of the boys greatly. Then, at Rockford, the following week, a terrible beating was handed the Thompsonmen-the score reading 33 to 1-1 at the end of the game. A very exciting game was played on our own floor against Freeport. The two teams were closely matched throughout the entire game, but our boys managed to push the ball through the basket in the last minute of play, causing the score to become 30 to 28 in our favor. Another heartbreaking defeat was given the Red and Black team at both Joliet and Elgin, the Joliet team beating us by one basket, 16 to 1-1, and the Elgin men only winning by a free throw, making the score 30 to 29. Un the offensive, Captain Kaluza, Jakious and Koteles were the Hbig guns , leading the team in scoring. Jakious had a hard job getting going , but later in the season proved very effective Cap- tain Kaluza was consistent in his scoring through- out the season. Koteles was the most efficient scorer on the team but did not seem to take advantage of his opportunities in all cases. On the defensive, Koteles and Captain Kaluza were the most important cogs, breaking up dash after dash for the basket, and intercepting pass after pass. VVoodrick and Oehrlein also counted much. both on offense and defense. VVoodrick turned out to be a capable basket-getter and ended the season fourth in East's scoring. Uehrlein, a flashy left- hander, improved in playing ability as the season grew, and though he was not a very high-ranking scorer, his defensive ability was remarkable. Out of the twenty players on the squad at the beginning of the season, only fourteen stayed with the squad. The players who ended the season with the team were as follows: Captain Kaiuza, Koteles. VVoodrick, Uehrlein, Jakious. Piron, Smith, George, Nliller, Numerick, Cooper, Ream, Crane and Stoner. Next year will see only one regular back to the lightweights, for Kaluza, Koteles, Jakious, and Oehrlein will be lost through graduation. iiVood- rick who is the remaining regular, might he too heavy to play lightweights next year. This shows that next year's lightweights will be a new, green team with everything to learn. Back Row-Coach Thompson, Stafford, Hawlciiig, Pagel Arlen, Eckert.

Indoor Track The East High Indoor Track team, under the capable guidance of Coach Glen Thompson, and led by their captain, Clem Coleman, had a very suc- cessful season compared with that of 1933, in spite of the inexperienced team and the loss of several good men last year. Due to the lack of training facilities, East High lost their first meet to York High of Elmhurst at the Mirner Fieldhouse, by a score of 63-2K3 to 31-1f3. The squad as a whole did exceedingly well for the first meet of the season. The second indoor meet was supposed to have been a triangular meet with Naperville, LaGrange, and East High, but LaGrange failed to appear, so it was a dual affair between Naperville and East High. East got revenge for the beating handed them by Naperville last year, by winning, 51 to -14. Nunn was East High's high point man, capturing the high jump, broad jump, placing third in the low hurdles, and running third on the relay team. Encouraged by their victory over Naperville the squad encountered Joliet in their third and most ex- citing meet. Joliet has never defeated Coach Thompson's men in a dual meet. After the broad jump was completed, the final score read 58 to 57 in favor of East High. In this meet East Higb's relay team, composed of Clem Coleman, Paul Stuart, Bill DeLess, and Ray Stapleton, broke the lnterscholastic Fieldhouse Record at the Naperville Fieldhouse, formerly held by Naperville High, by 1.8 seconds, being clocked in 1.13 Hat. The 60 yard indoor record for East High was also shattered by .1 of a second, by Ray Stapleton, erstwhile dash man, who was timed in 6.5 seconds. East's fourth indoor meet was one in which the boys showed up very well. The second invitational meet was held at night in the Naperville Fieldhouse. East High's entries showed up well, placing men in several events. The personnel of the 1934 squad during the in- door season was : Coleman and Stapleton in the 60 yard dash, Stuart, Nunn and Young in the hurdles, Stapleton in the 4405 Patterson and Stafford in the 8803 Wolfe in the mile, Nunn and Stuart in the high jump, Nunn and Stuart in the broad jumpg Sabados and Engle in the shot put, Young in the pole vault, and Coleman, Stuart, DeLess and Staple- ton in the relay. Due to the profits made from football this year, the track team enjoyed more indoor meets than usual. This year's squad also developed several outstanding performers, who were heard from in outdoor track. Some of these men should develop into stars in their remaining years at East High. CliffH Young was a consistent winner in the pole vault, not being defeated in indoor competition. He vaulted ten feet regularly. Paul Stuart was a five event man during most meets. Always a point win- ner, he was very dependable. Stapleton, the speed artist, was always trying to break records. Captain Coleman was a very capable and efficient leader. Russ Patterson was always heard from in his specialty, the half-mile. Sabados and Engle were always placing in the shot put. Bill Nunn could always be counted on for points in his two special- ties, the high jump and the broad jump. Outdoor Track With the close of spring football practice, Coach Thompson again turned his attention to acclimating his array of athletes to outdoor track events. A few evenings' work-outs showed prospects for a good winning season. Indoor records had been very satis- factory and indications pointed to a successful carry- over in the outdoor meets of the spring. The mainstays of East High's team were: Cole- man, Stapleton, and DeLess in the 100 yard dash, Coleman, Stapleton. and lVIabrey in the 220, Plum- mer and Stapleton in the 440, Patterson alone in the half-mile, Wolf, East's 'Alone wolfn milerg Smith, Stuart, and Nunn-high jump and broad jump, Stuart low hurdles, Stuart and Young in the high hurdles, Young and Cyko in the pole vault, Sabados and Engle in the shot put, Sabados, Franzen and Engle in the discusg Connors, Franzen arid Engle in the javelin, and the relay team of Cole- man, Mabrey, Stuart, and Stapleton. The first meet of the season came on the home track April 14, with Joliet. We won to the tune of 70-52. East High had three double winners in this meet. Roy Stapleton won both of the dashes, Billy Nunn captured the high jump and the broad jump, while Everett Engle took the shot put and discus. Altogether the team won first in nine events: how- ever, Joliet scored the only slam-in the mile. A week later the team invaded Elgin and sub- dued that team with a score of 80-42. In this meet East won eleven of the fourteen events. Stapleton again won both the 100 and the 220 yard dashes. Piron won the 440, Patterson the half-mile, Wolf the mile, and Stuart the high hurdles. In the field events Young won the pole vault by going over the bar at 10 feet 8 inches, Nunn high-jumped into first place with a final leap over 5 feet inches, Engle heaved the 12-pound shot 45 feet 21fQ inches, and Franzen won the discus by sailing the platter 107 feet 2 inches. East High's relay team, composed of Capt. Coleman, Nlabrey, Stuart and Stapleton won the half-mile relay in 1:38.7. Two weeks after the Elgin meet the team entered the annual Kane County meet at Batavia. East High backed four first places with five seconds, five thirds and two fourths to score 49 points. Batavia, host school, was second with 30M points, while West High was third with 282. Elgin, which finished fourth, scored 21 points. They were far in front of the rest of the schools. East High, showing a fine balance which more than overcame the lack of any outstanding stars, placed in every event with the exception of the mile and the broad jump. Ray Stapleon was the leading scorer with wins in both dashes, while Paul Stuart came in first in the high hurdles and the relay team of Clement Coleman, Garnet 1VIabry, Stapleton and Stuart tied the county record of 1:36, set in 1931 by Elgin. On May 12, we competed in the district meet held at Elgin. On May 8, in the State meet at the University of Illinois, on May 26, in the Big Six Conference meet at Elgin and on June 2, closed the season with a dual meet with West High on West High's track. Our records throughout the season have been ex- cellent and with several of the stars returning next year, we should be able to repeat the perform- ance in 1935. Back Row-lrlrikson. Habermeyer, C.

The boys on the tennis squad are Ray Gasper, Stanley Ellertson, Thomas Alderson, lllaurice lvlis- ner, Bud Uoering, Art lVIoore, Lorenzo lVIarek, Herbert Chudzick, Fred Carter, and Robert lVliller. lntramural The lntramural program, composed of basketball, volleyball, baseball, and horseshoe, met with great success throughout the year. As in other years, intramural sports furnished a majority of the boys of the school the means of competing in athletics during the noon hour. Here they met teams of their own calibre and developed a sportsmanship and fighting spirit often envied by conference teams. The organization was planned, managed and oHi- cialed by the students themselves under the direction of hir. Gunderson. The basketball tournament, which was run off with a smoothness that rivaled that of preceding years, was responded to one-hundred per cent by the sections. The tournament was divided into three divisions, the Senior, Junior and Freshman leagues. The Senior division was won by hir. Blackmanls quintet, which also won the championship title of the High School. The Junior league was mastered by hliss Doolenls five, while Miss Gleason's cagers won the title in the Freshman division. hir. Biackman's fast-stepping cagers left a flawless record behind them, having elev- en victories and no defeats. Miss Uoolen's Q cagers accomplished eleven victories and one defeat, this one defeat being at the hands of the Blackman quintet in the finals for the school championship. Bliss Gleason's Golf The District Golf meet in ' the spring of 1933 was held at , the TVaubonsie Club. East High O , 1 was represented by Carl Haag, .4 l Eldred Frick, Harley Stoner, and Edward Kaluza. The three f o rm e r boys graduating last Q95 year left Edward as the only experienced player on the 193-lf squad. As in other spring sports, those qualifying in are eligible for State competition. At the county meet held at the Clement Coleman, Gerald Ream, Edward Kaluza, and Paul Stewart competed. However, the meet was won by Gostelle of Elgin. In the Spring of 1934 the sport was extended to include several dual contests in addition to the Dis- trict meet. Also inter-class events, of a tournament nature, served as a means of giving competition to those non-qualifying members of the team. A number of boys interested in golf serve as caddies during the summer. The members of the 193-l Spring team were: Ed Schoo, -foe Bodi, John Schossler, Gerald Ream, Clifford Graf, Charles Koteles, Harold Hretthauer, Robert Stuart, George Schramer, Bill Smith, Don- ald Zander, Edward Kaluza, Earl Akerlow, Bud Willizims, and Herbert Habermeyer. the District meet Fox Valley Club, Sports succeeded in chalking up nine victories and two losses. Thirteen sections pledged their support to the vol- leyball tournament which immediately followed that of basketball. All of the games were played in the high school gymnasium during the noon-hour. Mr. Gundersonls section came out in the lead and car- ried off the hono1's. The baseball and horse-shoe tournaments were played during the latter part of the year, each meet- ing with great success. The intramural program was managed by Carl Schwerer and Ed Schoo under the guidance of lNIr. Gunderson, faculty adviser. Assisting them were Harold Bretthauer, George Hinebaugh, Frank lllarshall and Bill King. Equipment used in the intramural program is purchased by the director of athletics from profits made on other school sports, and is free to any boy KI enrolled in high school. i -.. Ill lisa ll nlllll nun: lllllll llllll lllllll I-ll... Illia: WIIIIP' The intramurals have progressed greatly during the last three years under hir. Gunderson. It has served its purpose not only as a form of recreation for boys who are unable to go out for the major sports, but also in developing the ability of the boys to such an extent that many of them are later able to play on the varsity teams. Roughneck Day It has come and gone-that sportive and much- enjoyed Roughneck Day. VVe certainly welcomed it, because-well, in the first place, we got out of a whole afternoon of school. Every one came to school dressed in this 'n that.', Not to mention any names, but we saw one fellow there dressed in a Spanish costume, with little 'Kwhat do you call 'ems dangling thither and yong a fine lady with her pet dog passed me on the stairs, f'Sambo', and 'flwosel' could be seen in a dozen varietiesg ragged Huck Finn was there and behind him with a stick 'vas Aunt Polly. About one-thirty or so we all toddled into the auditorium to see the different stunts. They were good, too, there was a stunt called-humm, if you canit remember we are disgusted and refuse to dis- close our favorite. CThis is private, but we thought the Seniors were pretty good.D After standing Cyes. we had to stand for what seemed to us hours and hours through the hub-bub and uproarj we rushed with the rest of the school to the gym for dancing. Vve settled ourselves to dance, when to our dismay we had to wait till the cleverest dressed people were selected and awarded cakes as prizes. Then just as our patience and good humor were on the verge of collapse, the orchestra started and we happily waltzed away to the end of another Roughneck Davv. Freshman Initiation The Freshmen met their VVaterloo on the East High stage lVIarch 1, when the whole student body assembled to initiate them into our great institution. Although Eleanor Blandford did not relish the juicy Bermuda onion given her, Seymor Simon en- joyed his so much that he was given another on which to chew. This seemed to satisfy his hunger. Don Vveishew should be able to write a book on The Correct Wziyf to Propose, after he did a good job of going down on his knees to lwildred Day- brook. lwildred was then made to sit on VVayne Warren's lap. Throughout the entire program, the seniors did not forget the one great quality, cleanliness. To illustrate their feeling they presented John Popp with soap and water with which to wash his face. Jean Lowry was given a bigger and better tooth brush with which to cleanse her teeth, and they or- dered Ralph Schuster to scrub the stage floor. Bob Harmon was graciously smeared with blue- berry pie, while Bruno Seraphine and Edna Omera were smeared with lipstick. Rollin Cary tried the fete of rolling an egg across the stage which proved very unsuccessful. Phyllis Mack had the laborious task of transport- ing water with a teaspoon from one bucket to the other. Florence Goding and Althea Moore sang f'Wave the Flag and Keep Young and Beautiful. Student Day This year's novel Student Dayn marked an- other successful endeavor in extra curricular citizen- ship training by the students of East High. The complete running of the school on the morning of Roughneck Day, lklarch 23, by student principal. secretaries, teachers, and deans marked its initial attempt in Eastis history. Its successful operation has established, th1'ough consent of the administration, another of East's democratic traditions. The day was sponsored by a Student Council committee following the idea presented by Burton Burkhart to the faculty for its consent. lVIanley Perry was elected by the student body to act as principal and chose Connie Clare as his secretary and Betty McLallen as office assistant. The Boys' and Girls' Clubs Cabinets chose Clement Coleman and Betty Trimble as their deans, respect- ively. Approximately one hundred and forty stu- dents taught morning classes and sixteen hundred students participated with an interest that proved its popularity and guaranteed its success. Even the janitors were given a holiday and overalled seniors weilded brooms and dust pans. The Student Council Committee that planned the day consisted of Manley Perry, chairman, Con- nie Clare, Burton Burkhart, Harold VVeingartner. and Bob Amundsen. Future 'fStudent Days will be held separate from Roughneck Day. Salesmanship Week lVIoney, money, moneyl Everyone needed money, and money could not be found, so what was the logical thing to do but to become salesmen for a week and see what we could sell. This plan proved more than interesting. A representative of the Curtis Publishing Company told us we might enrich our treasury by promoting one of their much-used- in-other-high-schools magazine sales contests. After due deliberation on the part of the Student Council and the faculty a campaign was planned. This plan proved more than successful. To be exact, 25908.75 worth of magazines were sold, of which the school, after purchasing numerous prizes, received 2332-1.37. This money was divided equally between the Boys' and Girls' Clubs, the Band and the Student Council. The school, during the week of October l9, was divided into two groups, the Blue Team, 'fThe Flying Cloud,', of which Miss Underwood and lylr. Hunter were captains, and the Red Team, the VVestward Hof' under the command of lVIiss An- derson and lylr. Rosenbarger. Captains were also appointed in each section to take care of the num- ber of subscriptions sold. Everybody who sold even one subscription obtained a prize and those who sold three dollars worth received a free pass to the Thanksgiving Day Game as well. After keen com- petition the Blue Team finally defeated the Reds who sold only 281 subscriptions to their 320. l s A I NSG.. Dances A great many dances were given this year, for dancing seemed to bring in the cash and money was just what we needed. The first dance, given by the Seniors on Friday, October 13, was rightfully called 1'The Supersti- tion Strugglef' Here one hundred forty couples danced to Sammy Berk's orchestra. The next dance the Seniors sponsored was called the HS. O. S. QSave Our Specj dance. This time Bobby Trent's orchestra played. Of course the Annual Football Dance was held on December 23, with music furnished by Len Hyatt's lllinoisan orchestra. All football players. both heavyweight and lightweight, band members and cheer leaders were eligible to attend. The Band Boosters put on an old-time dance and card party on January 26, with music donated by Bob Hesselbaum's orchestra for the young people, and Jimmy Haslem's Hayseeders furnished the music for the older folk. Orrin Tucker's orchestra played for the St Pat- rick Dance held March 17 which was sponsored by the Junior Class. This dance was followed by an- other one, given by the Seniors on April 21, at which Ken Perrin's orchestra played. Of course Delphi and the Auroran gave their annual dances. The junior Prom ended the danc- ing parties with a Hbangn. Delphi Mock Trial lt's queer how short my memory can be even on things as important as the decision of the biennial Mock Trial in the big assault and battery case, Mc- Lallen versus Burkhardt. 1 couldn't say whether Judge Robert Richards decided that Burkhardt did hit Betty, or whether he didn't. Somehow I lost the verdict in my interest in the fair lawyer. Anyway the story ran like this. It seems that Betty made a date for Friday, April 13th, with Bur- ton Burkhardt. Then, forgetting all her promises, she made a date for that same night with Bill Gawzner. As is usually the case, Bill arrived at the McLallen homestead right behind Burton. At the sight of his pal, Burton lost the famous Burk- hardt temper and hit someone. The question was, did he hit Betty or Bill? Both appeared with black eyes the next day. Betty sued Burton because her black eye caused the cancellation of her movie con- tract. Her lawyers were Betty Trimble and Bob Reuss, while lkflanley Perry and Joe Suhler we1'e the lawyers hired by Mr. Burkhardt. The trial was full of excitement to the end. The play, under the direction of lVIiss Bredlow, lVIr. Hunter and Mr. Blackman, was written en- tirely by a student committee: Daisy Cross, chair- mang Joe Suhler, lklanley Perry, Shirley Howard, Ralph McKinney, Robert Reuss, Ruth Johnson, Eleanor Steine and Burton Burkhardt. The Minstrel Show Fun, laughter and comedy! That's what the lllinstrel Show, given last january 12, meant to the overwhelming crowd of spectators who jammed the auditorium doors to hear their songs, dancing and wisecracks . This entertainment was spon- sored by the Boys, Club and the Band, with music arranged by Mr. Rosenbarger, the band director. The comical interlocutor was the journalism fac- ulty member, Mr. Geil. His ten Ulind Men were Chuck Stewart, A1 Spencer, A1 Franzen, Bob Hes- selbaum, Don Williams, Mr. Blackman, lN'Ir. Hun- ter, john Krauss, Andy Sabados, and John Nieman. The show consisted of many songs sung by the boys, chorus, such as UThanks, Annie Doesn't Live Here Any More, Woodin' Head, Puddinl Head Jones, and the Dark Town Strutters Ball g the Forum Four, singing comical quartetsg a group of guitar players strumming cow-boy songs, 'fCarey and Coats playing an accordian duetg a trombone quartet, and last but not least, the fam- ous f'Laurel and Hardy couple fBob Richardson and John Kelleyj. The Boys' Club and the Band donated S59 to the benefit fund for the widows and orphans of the firemen who were killed in the VVoolworth fire on January 11. This sum was raised by these boys through a special Minstrel Show given on january 20th. Auroran Variety Show A trip around the world on the magic carpet was the theme of the Auroran Variety Show, given in Marcli under the auspices of the Auroran staff for the purpose of supplying part of the means of financ- ing the school paper. The carpet started on its journey from the labor- tory of a Hindu magician. China was the first stop. Here the carpet des- cended into a Chinese theater and stopped long enough to witness the performance of a real Chinese play. From there it sailed across the States to a Broad- way theater where a musical revue was witnessed. During its trip across the Big Pond the magic carpet spent an evening on board the ship HS. S. fSink or Swimj to enjoy an old-fashioned melo- drama. The first stop on the other side was a newspaper ofifice in Englemerica. A session of a Peace Con- ference in Switzerland also received a visit from this magic conveyance. ln Paris it enjoyed the dancing and singing of a street scene. The court of Rasputin where an American croon- er was being tried was the last place visited before the carpet returned to the magician's laboratory. bfluch of the success of the show was due to llliss Bredlow, the director and to Marianne Brandt angl Ruth johnson who assisted. 1 ! Boys Club Party During the term of 1933-34 the service commit- tee under the leadership of Adolph Schindel, chair- man, proved a great success. The committee con- sists of a representative from each class, Adolph Schindel chairman, Kenneth Hennig, Clement Cole- man. Al Flynn, Raymond Runge. Among the three standing committees, namely social, program, service, the latter is the most interesting and difficult. The biggest interest the boys have in this club is the annual Boys' Club Party, to which all the boys and men teachers are invited. This party is given so that the students may get better acquainted with each other. The last party November 19 was the biggest success during the Clubys history, about six hundred boys attended. The program in the auditorium featured Bob Hesselbaum's Orchestra, Laurel and Hardy,', an accordian duet by Coats and Carey, bathing beautiesn, and other numbers of a similar nature. After the stunts were given in the auditorium the boys went to the gym to see an- other program, which ended with the service com- mittee's serving the refreshments. The Boys, Club clothes some needy boys in school and sick students are given needed care. These facts are not generally known, but many deserving boys are kept in school through the club's help. Such activities as these are the real measure of an organ- ization's worth. - Girls' Club Christmas Party Approximately two hundred and fifty unfortunate children of the city were royally entertained at the Girls, Club Christmas Party given December 23, in the school gymnasium. Members of the club called for the children and conducted them to the party, where a variety of toys were distributed by Reverend Clare- Santa Claus for a day . The Aurora Boy Scouts and the city firemen cooperated whole-heartedly with the idea of the Christmas Party, and collected and re- paired many of the play things which they donated to the children. Warm stockings and mittens were supplied by the Girls, Club, as were the refresh- ments. Each child received a paper bag containing an apple, a candy cane, a bag of popcorn, a popcorn ball, a bag of Christmas candy, and a few pieces of lemonade fudge. The dolls presented to each little girl were dress- ed by club members who devoted much of their time to the promotion of the party. Many kind friends helped to make the event pos- sible through donations to the Beacon-News Empty Stocking Fund. The HBeacon-Newsl' sponsors this fund each year, receiving contributions from the interested citizens of our city, and turning the fund over to the Girls, Club of East High. The happy smiles seen on the faces of the children amply repay for the donations and the work. Girls Club Party Once again the girls of East High witnessed a very important event of the year. Yes, it was the Girls' Club Freshman Initiation Party. The event took place February 16, in the auditorium and gym. The party is given annually by the club to acquaint the new girls in East High with the purpose and activities of the organization. The girls assembled in the auditorium, and after everything was quiet fwhich I'11 admit took quite a long timel, the meeting was opened by Betty Trimble. After the minutes of the last party were read and approved, Miss O,Neil gave a short talk telling the purpose of the party and the work of Girls, Club. Dorothy Mallette added gaiety to the program by playing a few popular selections on the pianog and Irene Backstrom sang, 'fThere Goes My Heart . Following this the new officers, namely, Evelyn Frisk, president, Dorothy Keck, vice-president, and Ruth Morey, secretary-treasurer, were installed. The program was then turned over to the chair- men of the initiation committee, Edith Anderson, Violet Peterson, and Eleanor Stoner, who then initiated both the new oflicers and incoming Fresh- men. Wllat funl Later Bob Hesselbaum's orchestra furnished music for dancing in the gym, during which time refreshments were served. Annual Christmas Party The glittering tree with all its tinsel and colored lights ushered in the holiday season at the annual school Christmas party, sponsored by the Student Council and the Boys' Club. This festivity, while providing entertainment for the present students also gives an opportunity for the alumni to once more enjoy the hospitality of East High, and to visit old friends and teachers. At first, a delightful program was enjoyed in the auditorium when the third hour drama class, under the direction of llliss Bredlow presented a play, l'Christmas Eve at Bracebridge Hall,'l the portrayal of an old English Christmas. The play itself is a dramatization of Wasliington lrvingys f'Christmas Even which was rewritten by lVIary Godfrey. Old English dances, games and songs were used in order to make the effect more delight- ful. Of course, the program was completed with a visit by 'fSanta Clausn. The kind old fellow must have been watching our needs all through the year for without such close observation how could anyone know just who needed a new truck, foot- ball shoes, a box of dates or Advice to the Love Lornu? Immediately following the program, the party was transferred to the gymnasium where dancing was enjoyed with Bob Hesselbaum's orchestra. Entertainers On December 1-1 and 15, the East High student body acted as the final proving ground for enter- tainers desiring to become members of the School Assembly Association, an association nation-wide in extent which furnished talent to high schools for special convocations. Contestants came from many parts of the country and were given an opportunity to try out their various programs in our assembly hall, each en- deavoring to have his number appear on the ap- proved list. On those dates all students having study hall, physical education or classes in the auditorium, to- gether with principals from high schools throughout the country, assembled in the auditorium to act as judges of the entertainers. The entertainers who were approved may tour the high schools throughout the country giving their act. Talks, songs, lectures, and pictures were present- ed by a native Australian, an opera company, a pro- fessor of the University of lldichigan, a newspaper cameraman, an explorer and treasure hunter, the World's Fair Marionettes, and an artist and repre- sentative of the Chicago Art Insitute. To top off the all-day program, a male quartet, formerly of W. L. S., Chicago, gave a concert of popular, semi- classical, and classical tunes. All of these numbers were enjoyed by the students. Mr. Zellner and Dr. Barker Never before had the students of East High wit- nessed such a brilliant and altogether different type of program as that given by Mr. Zellner, the well- known 'fProtean artistn, on October 11. From his first impersonation, that of the famous old American humorist, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, to his last, that of the magnificent Saul of Tarsus, the audience was held spell-bound. He also impersonated the comical Huckleberry Finn, the tragical Benedict Arnold, the two distinguished generals of the North and South in the Civil War, Generals Grant and Lee, the three famous bible characters, Moses, Judas and Peter, the most famous man in American his- tory, Abraham Lincoln, and the American opponent of slavery, John Brown. The next program speaker was Dr. Barker, phy- sical adviser to the late President Taft, who spoke on How to Get the Most Gut of Life. He be- lieved that in order to attain and keep success one must possess a strong arm, a clear head, and a brave heartf' We shall always remember him for his definition of education which is 'fTo train the mind and the will to do the Work they have to do when that work ought to be done whether the in- dividual wants to or notf' Dr. Barker seemed to know just how high school students study and many are still applying his come back method with success. The Metropolitan Quartet The first of the special convocations of the year, made possible through the Student Council and Kiwanis Club, was given September 7, to the en- tire student body. On this date a quartet from the llfetropolitan Concert Company entertained the student body. This quartet, under the direction of Mr. Davies, tenor, was composed of Miss Goodman, soprano, Miss Auyer, contralto, hir. Van Buskirk, bass, and Miss Adolph, pianist. The popular artists from the N. B. C. studios sang many of the famous old songs of golden days, including Come to the Fair, Home on the Rangef' Hjoshua Fit the Battle of Jericho, 'f0ld Man Riverf' and The Bells of St. Mary's.', De- lightful solos were also sung by each member of the quartet and Miss Adolph played a charming num- ber on the piano. All of these were received en- thusiasticaly by the students. Following these pop- ular airs and solos, an excerpt from the opera, Martha,H was given in costume which naturally made the program still more interesting. The Metropolitan Concert Company is somewhat of an old friend to Aurora students having appeared in our school twice before. The students enjoy their songs and pleasing personalities and assure them of a hearty welcome anytime they can visit us in our school again. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Crisler Free Wheeling Through Africa. That was the title of Mr. james Wilson's talk to the student body last January 17. Mr. Wilson, the erstwhile adventurer, journalist, college instructor, musician, and rancher, was the third speaker to appear before the student body at the special convocation pro- grams. For six months he and his companion pene- trated jungles and deserts of the dark continent, walking where white feet had never before trod, crossing Africa from coast to coast, north of Lake Tschad and covering a 1200 mile stretch of terri- tory. The only means of transportation were mo- torcycles. Uur last speaker of the year was Mr. H. O. Crisler, one of A. A. Stagg's most celebrated ath- letes and the only man to handle both major sports in a university. At present he is head football and basketball coach at Princeton University. Hav- ing read a great deal of this man the students looked forward to having him with us. The subject of his talk was Play the Gamef, He illustrated the many character developing qualities of major sports by specific examples chosen from his personal expe- riences in coaching football teams at both the Uni- versity of Wisconsin and Princeton University. Since all high school students are interested in athletics, Mr. Fritz,' Crisler made a serious and lasting impression with both the boys and girls. 'ff f ' r X K- gaff .f , , F- .
