FOOTBALL ' liant six-year record in the Suburban League, Coach As a final climax to a bril- v Vance's 1934 Wildkit football a- team was probably one of . . the strongest and most pow- erful elevens that ever repre- sented Evanston. Undefeated and untied through a difficult eight- game schedule, undisputed winners of the Suburban League championship, a crushing 19 to O victory over the Chicago champion, Lindblom, and 6 to O and 3 to 0, victories over our old rivals, New Trier and Oak Park, bear witness to the success of Coach Vance's last team at Evanston. Opposing league coaches thought so much of the Wildkits' power that five of the eleven places on the All-Suburban League team went to Evanston. Captain Robert Voigts at tackle, Clement Eiden at guard, Iohn Iordan at center, Malcolm Brown at end, and Oliver Babcock at full back, were honored with positions. Voigts and Brown were considered the best in the Chicago district at their respective positions, while Iordan was the second string center of the district team. Captain Voigts, considered the finest athlete Evanston has ever had, climaxed his splendid football career with a position on the Al 1-Illinois State team. After defeating Lindblom, Chicago champions, in the first game of the year, the Wildkits went out of their home state for the first time to play a football game, and overwhelmed Michigan City, Indiana, by a score of 31 to 6. Deerfield was the first league game, and the Highland Parkers were soundly whipped, 21 to 6. Oak Park brought its usual well-coached team up to Beardsley Field for the next game, and before an overflow crowd, was de- feated 3 to O, when Malcolm Brown booted a field goal in the second quarter. ln a listless game at Maywood, the Wildkits had little trouble overcoming Proviso, 14 to O. Waukegan High School, which was admitted to the Sub- urban League for the first time this year, put up a stubborn and game battle against the defending champions, but lost by a score of 14 to O. New Trier, supposedly the weakest team in the league, wanted more than anything else to defeat their bitter rivals, the Wildkits, and so give Oak Park a tie for the championship. The Green and Grey team almost did this, and held the champions scoreless the entire first half. Late in the third quarter, Oliver Babcock, high scorer of the Suburban League, intercepted a New Trier pass, and sprinted sixty yards for the only score of the game. The season was concluded with a 34 to O victory over East High of Aurora, Illinois.

Around the walls over the book- cases are twenty monks' heads, all different in expression, carved in Wood by Mr. Kaissaroff. The artists' ingenuity has also changed the regu- lar plate-glass of the Windows to reproductions of a Gothic type, with leaded panes and stained-glass medallions. These Windows are symbolic of the sciences, and, con- sequently, the figures shown are those of Amen famous in those fields. The northeast Window shows Pythag- 1 T oras and Archirnides, and two Women who symbolize geometry and mechanics. The middle Window depicts Phidias, Appeles, Socrates, and Sophocles and corresponding shields of navigation. In the place of honor, the center, is the tree of knowledge. The southeast window contains geographical and astro- nomical trnedallions.' Herodotus, Ptolemy, and two more women symbolizing travel, are also depicted. Interspersed among the murals are trademarks of old printers. The radiator, too, has had its ugliness covered by a series of panels, carved with the seal of the city of Evanston. Even the doors of this room are true wooden ones with iron latches and hinges on the inside. Certainly this is one of the places of beauty of our school, a real representation of the culture and refinements brought from the Renaissance. Kaissaroff
