DEDICATION To Miss Helen Miller, whose character and personality have made her a true friend to all of us, and who, with an interest in us, our struggles, our hopes, and our achievements, has guided and inspired us to higher ideals, we gratefully dedicate this, the 1932 Leydenite. FOREWORD Four happy years have been ours at Leyden High—years filled with friendships, studies, activities, disappointments, and accomplishments. We now leave this record o f our happiness, our enthusiasm, our sacrifice, and our joy. May the Leyden-ite of 1932 be a memorial expressive of the high standards and the success of Leyden Community High School. -STAFF Editor-in-chief BLANCHE MAHLER Sports JOHN BANAS Assistant RAY STEINGRABER Organizations AUDREY KILMAN Classes EVELYN DRAPER History JAMES EUL Will EVA LOWRIE Prophecy JANE HARRINGTON Faculty MURIEL TAYLOR Senior Activities WILBUR PATZER Commencement DOROTHY LEE KIPP Feature I RET A WEIGAND Business Manager EVELYN GIERTZ Subscription WILLIAM RECKERS Advertising WILLIAM RILEY Assistants RUTH BACLE AUDREY KILMAN MURIEL TAYLOR JOE CASTLE CHARLES HERZBERG Faculty Advisor MISS BENALLACK CONTENTS THE SCHOOL O R G A N I Z ATIONS A T II L E T I C S F E A T U R E S P A T RONS A L) V E R T I S I N G LEYDEN LOYALTY Tunc: Illinois Loyalty Were loyal to you, Leyden High.

Principal • SCHOOL BOARD M E M B E R S Thomas H. Tiedemann, President Ada J. Dodge Ernest F. Moeller William F. C. Mueller William A. Dolamore TO THE STUDENTS nr� HE ordinary people in our mother country gave little credit to the dreams of England’s greatest men, who visioned a new and wonderful nation in the wilderness wastes of the western world. The courage to believe in their dreams became the index of American liberty and the soul of American progress. The greatest Dreamer of all times dreamed of the power vested in human life, which partakes of the infinite attribute of Love. He likened this power to that of a kingdom and declared that this kingdom is within you. All that the great teacher conceived in this Kingdom of Love is within the possibility of human achievement. To realize these possibilities you must become conscious of their vastness through youthful vision, and must consecrate yourselves without reserve to the task of taking that which challenges you and building it into something bigger and better, into something indicative of a newer and nobler life than that already experienced. Your youthful hearts are filled with aspirations, dreams, and hopes. These are the dynamic forces that will help you to rise to levels of the bravest, highest, and most unselfish service. On these levels, you will become conscious that having lived, you, first of all. have lived well. Page Six E. A. ANDERSON Augustana College. A. B. Mathematics, Physics GLADYS D.

Page Thirteen SALUTATORY • WE, the class of 1932, are here this evening to celebrate the conclusion of twelve long years of work in which we endeavored to gain an education. The best way to celebrate this event is by gathering our friends together to listen to the recital of our achievements, our wills, our ambitions. We welcome most cordially those who are here tonight. Special greetings are extended to our parents and teachers who have worked and sacrificed in order that we might be here, participating in this program. These exercises mean the end of youth and the commencement of life, and it is with much regret that wc leave the “little, old, red schoolhouse.’’ We shall forever remember this day and what it meant to us, and so again we say, “May these exercises be enjoyable to you and leave pleasant recollections.” —Fred Korosy • V A L E D Tonight we have reached the clear waters, the point where the river widens into the sea. where School ripples into Life. At this vantage point, we pause for reflection and contemplation. W e behold the past, a memory of achievement, and the present, our possession by inheritance. We catch a hopeful glimpse of the future as it stretches before us to a glorious horizon. Who of us would forego this hour and fail to build an altar here, place thereon our offering, and breathe a prayer with Tennyson, “That we may rise on stepping stones of our dead selves to higher things?” Our approach through the years to this hour of triumph has been marked with work and play. We have wrought into the structure of our achievement the fruits of our labor and the jewels of pleasant associations mingled with happy hours. The days have lengthened into years, measuring our progress with certainty. As students, we have been toilers and our tasks are such as must remain unfinished. it is for us AT THE MILESTONE CLASS POEM OF 1932 Graduation’s but a milestone On the hazardous road of life, By that winding, hilly pathway Filled with struggle and with strife. Different from the stones around it. Signifying an event; Greater than all those before it. Cause enough for great content. We can pause for but a moment, To review past joy and sorrow. As we turn with hearts undaunted, To face the pitfalls of tomorrow. Many more milestones lie hidden In the distance as we progress, , But we’ll always aim in battle Till we’ve met one marked SUCCESS. —John lianas ICTORY tonight to begin anew that we may acquit ourselves with the honor and reward which come to those who carry on. Life will lie our teacher; its experiences, our textbooks. Into our progress, we must invest our knowledge, uphold our ideals, employ our energies, and, amid success or failure, maintain those high levels of young manhood and young womanhood which our high school training has set up as objectives. We leave these fond associations in a spirit of gratitude. We are grateful to our schoolmates for the contributions which they have made to the pleasantness of our school days. We are grateful to our teachers for their guidance and associations. We are grateful to our parents for the sacrifice that has brought opportunities and privileges. And now we say goodbye. Goodbye, dear friends, who have made this a night to be placed in that spot where we keep our choicest memories. —Blanche Mahler Pnge Fourteen CLASS NIGHT For tile first time in the history of Leyden Community High School the Senior class gave its annual class program at night.

HEAVYWEIGHT FOOTBALL T7HEX the football suits were fin-ally turned in after the season’s last game, there were looks of satisfaction on the countenances of the boys who had fought in those suits through five victories, two ties, and two defeats, to say nothing of the daily practice. It had been a great season and. though the Eagles failed to overcome Lihertyville for the Conference Championship, they were satisfied with second place—that is, until next time. Among the hoys who turned out for practice early in the fall were seven let-termen from last year. With but a week’s practice Watson put together a team that met Maine’s powerful squad in the season’s opener. The Eagles were trimmed 34-0 but the game did the boys good in the way of experience for the coming season. Then came the conference race with Bensenville heading the list of opponents on Leyden’s schedule. The boys took a tough game from their neighbors by the small margin of one touchdown and prepared to take on the next two schools, Arlington and Barrington. They won both games 13- 0; then came the big game of the year with Lihertyville on October 16. The Wildcats proved themselves superior by humiliating the Eagles 20-0 and Lev-den had to he content with a revenge against Warren for last year’s defeat. Warren fell before the Maroons 18-6. 'fhe battle with Antioch came out a draw 0-0 and Leyden closed its conference schedule by easily heating Palatine 33-0. The season’s last game was staged at Dundee, where the boys fought a hard game to a scoreless tie. Six boys will he missed on the gridiron next fall.

Out of six games they won only one, for practically every team they played outweighed them. I Iowever, the lightweights put plenty of light into every tilt and received experience for coming years in return. The first game was played at Hinsdale on a muddy field. Hinsdale's superior eleven won by a score of 13-6. Then came the argument with Bensen-ville. The Maroons turned the tables oil their keen rivals to the tune of 13-6 for their only victory. The last three games were lost, to .Arlington 18-0. to Proviso 38-6. and to Dundee 12-0. The most outstanding players of the season were Crysler, who acted as captain, Theodasakis. M. Asta. Clute, and Ourada. Patzer was the only senior on the team and will he gone next fall. Probably most of the other regular lightweights will he shifted over to the first stringers, so there will he ample opportunity for incoming freshmen to find berths on the lightweight team in 1932.

At the beginning of the 31 - 32 basketball season he placed on the floor a team which would have ended up the season with a high percentage—if he could have “kept the same team on the floor two games in succession. As it was, the Ragles pulled into fifth place in the final conference standing. Altogether the Maroons played sixteen games, winning seven and losing nine. When they were all together, the quintet looked something like this: Captain Ourada at center, Burrill at guard. Baker at guard, and Steingraber and Johnson at forwards. Ourada who had a weak hip was forced to give up his position. Several other Ragles missed some games on account of illness and injury. The first tilt was with Maine, who beat Leyden by four points. Then the Ragles took three games in a row from Wauconda, Warren and Bensenville. In the next game. Barrington nosed out I-eyden in the last minute, winning 21-20. Again Leyden continued its campaign by winning over the mighty “Indiana and Rla. The following six games saw them on the short end of the score. The season ended with a victory over Rla and two losses to Bensenville and Libertyville. TOURNRYS During the course of the year Leyden entered three tournaments. At the North Central Tournament, held at Naperville, Leyden defeated La Grange 14-13, but lost in the second round to Liberty ville. At the Conference tournament Leyden figured in an upheaval. losing by a point margin to Bensenville. In the final district tournament the Ragles lost to Hinsdale. Watson loses two men through graduation, Castle and Johnson. The rest of the boys who received letters are Burrill. Steingraber, Amenson, Anderson. Pankonin, Baker, and Atherton.

The young Fagles won that position with 6 victories, 5 defeats, and 1 tie. The Maroon ponies started with a few practice games, which they needed to put them into shape. They lost the first Conference game to W'auconda by three points and the next to Warren, where a three period overtime battle was fought, ending 19-19. Both Bensenville and Barrington fell before the ponies attack and then came a jolt from Antioch in a 23-17 defeat. Fla furnished another victory for Leyden, but Libertyville added another defeat to the lightweights’ standing. The rest of the games were won with the exception of the Barrington-Leyden and Lib-ertyville-Leyden tangles.
