c=dct ' l WHEN speaking of activities during the opening months of school, one naturally thinks first of all about studies. Last Fall, as in other years, the stu- dents of Elmhurst immediately plunged headlong into serious academic work. There was hardly a fellow or a co-ed who did not rapidly lose his or her summer tan because of the many hours spent in-doors studying. Of course there were a few spare mo- ments during the week when one could relax a bit. During those times a game of tennis, or perhaps an intramural game of football provided more or less strenuous exercise. Leisurely walks in the park gave ,many couples exercise of a much less stren- uous kind. The Freshmen busied themselves in their odd moments by collecting boxes for the bonfire fund. When Homecoming Day arrived, they had procured an impressive number of cartons. Then after Homecoming the various cam- pus organizations, such as the Women ' s Union, the French Club, the Goethe Verein, the Student Christian Association, and the College Theater, began their yearly series of meetings and parties. And of course there was football. In the center picture below Baumrucker is slash- ing right tackle during a home game. On the left there is Susie Susott and Emma Neve on their way to one of the games, while to the right Kate Klick, cheerleader, is leading a Fight, team, fight! Work and play were important parts of the lives of the students at Elmhurst throughout the Autumn. [19]

Elmhurst ' s Pirates had an indifferent sea- son, winning three games, losing three, and tying one. Every other Saturday the team clicked beautifully, as evidenced by the fact that all three wins were three and four touchdown victories. However, the varsity couldn ' t win on successive Satur- days, and what might have been a highly successful year was only mediocre. Elmhurst, 0 DeKalb, 7 Had Elmhurst played its scheduled game with Mission House the story of the DeKalb game might have been different. Several misplays due to inexperience cost the Pirates a victory. Baumrucker proved that he was capable of filling Shine Robbins ' shoes in the passing department by com- pleting 14 out of 21 passes. Elmhurst, 18 Aurora, 7 Little trouble here for the Pirates as they won this game in the mud with ease. How- ever, the Pirate offense was ragged at times, and the pass- ing defense was unusually weak. Baumrucker ' s passes and off-tackle smashes, and Leu- schke ' s and Vertovec ' s pass re- ceiving were the features of this Pirate victory. Elmhurst, 7 Carthage, 7 Carthage spoiled the Pirate Homecoming by coming from behind to tie the score late in the game. Lack of reserve strength was the cause of the tie. Tony Hotle played an outstanding game at guard. Leuschke and Vertovec, as usual, starred at the ends, and Eiszner stood out among the backs. He made a 35-yard run to score the Elmhurst touchdown. Elmhurst, 20 Eureka, 6 The Pirates completely dominated this game, and at no time did Eureka trouble the Blue and White. The Eureka score was made against the Elmhurst second team. The whole varsity starred, but Vertovec and Rosback stood out in the line, while Baum- rucker led the backs. Elmhurst, 0 Wheaton, 12 Wheaton stepped ahead in the all-time series total with this year ' s victory. The I [20]
