CORNELL Miss Cornell is leaving Parker after more than twenty years of distinguished serv' ice to the school. Under her guidance the Social Studies department has developed into a most important part of the curriculum. Those who have had her as their teacher will remember the stimulating classesg the way she made dry History live. Who will forget, Death of Alexander Q 323, or struggling with your Constitution chart? But it is not only the details that are so importantg it is also the insight into the whole span of history with which one leaves Miss Cornell's room. The culmination and real value of her work is shown in the way her students think. They learn to weigh facts with careful judgment, and acquire intellectual curiosity and habits of research into areas outside of her field. As one student put it, Gee, she really makes you think! Outside of her work here at the school Miss Cornell has held innumerable im' portant positions: among them, Chairman of the Eight Year Plan for Improvement of the High School Curriculum, Chairman of the Headmistresses' Association, and Chair' man of the Kentucky State Federation of Women's Clubs. But her greatest contrif bution has been to her students who have benefited from her fairness and rare under' standing. It is hard to put into mere words the thing that she has created in those young minds made eager to learn, but the RECORD joins all those who know her in proudly saluting HAZEL M. CORNELL as the type of teacher which forwardflooking young people need today. 5 PRINCIP 3, gh, : s r f Q vga. -1 zf W I The RECORD of 1949 is that of an able, energetic, friendly class and of a memorable year. Seldom, even at Parker, has school life been so full, or have its activities been so generally shared by old and young, boys, girls, parents, graduates, and staff. Remember the doublefjointed elephant of Seniors that helped the First Grade dramatize for the rest of us 'What Happened on Mulberry Street'? And the parent' studentfgraduateffriends' orchestra in the MESSIAH? And the similar orchestra that, with the Ninth Grade, made IOLANTHE so good? And DOWN IN THE VALLEY, that was so lovely a beginning to the midfwinter meeting that the Parker Association gave over to a party in honor of the Seniors? And the sidefsplitting ECCLESIA' ZUSAE, with Fourth Grade chorus and highfschool dramaticfclub protagonists? And the parentffaculty Floradoras that outweighed the varsity football line - and yet made feminine hearts light and gay at the newly invented STAGfette? And the moving final meeting of the Association, at which her students and their parents, her colleagues young and old, and the whole Parker family honored the completion of Miss Cornell's great service to us and to American education? For her, for the Senior Class of 1949, and for us who face the new halffcentury without their immediate presence, it seems reasonable to hope that this culminating year together may have brought what Masefield calls SCTISC Of life so lovely and intense It lingers when we wander hence - That those who follow feel behind Their back, when all before seems blind, Our joy, a vampavt to the mindl' 6 HERBERT W.

In- doors we paint and draw and hammer and play with things we like and listen to stories and dance to music and drink juice and rest. Sometimes we make a play out of a story and sometimes we do something we have never done before. Some of us were there the hrst year Parker refopened its kindergarten. Our rooms were high up in the Webster Hotelg where we played with blocks, and started to learn how to get along with other people. The Beginners were: Arnie, Tracy, Preb, Murray, Georgia Gritzbaugh, Annette Hedberg, Iris Michel, Claudette Roth, Carroll Williams, Paul Eitel. 10 SENIOR KINDERG RTE First row: R. Edison, P.

We went to the fire station. There are baby lions in the zoo. We are going to the hook and ladder station. It is snowing out. Our room was changed around when we came back after Christmas. We moved into the big school as a regular grade. Our rooms were downstairs next to the fascinating kiln. We have few memories of the year.

This year there were suddenly many more of us. We began to learn to read. We built a model boatfharbor that stretched across the room. We played store house and on the Jungle Gym. We loved the sch0ol's pets: baby goat twins. En' tering: Barb, Ioan Kanter, David Heller, Glenda, Danny, Ginger, Kit Montgomery Ballard Moore, Dick Preston. 12 r 1 s 'l: ' .jW i s ir!

Each club studied, experimented and Hnally presented a little profam to the rest of the group of what they had learned. In the fall we also gave two short plays for the little school. At Christmas time we had another play called The Animals Christmas . We spent quite a lot of time making Christmas tree decorations made from pine cones, leaves, milk weed, pods, nuts, etc., which were decorated and painted gold and silver. Since Christmas we have been studying Pueblo Indians. We made a pueblo in the room out of cigar boxes and asbestos cement. The children also made and painted clay Indian figures, animals, people, etc., and planted cacti to go around the pueblo. We also made copper bracelets and Indian bowls. We are going to have an Indian play and make our own costumes. In addition we have two rabbits in the room. We feed them alfalfa, oats, carrots and lettuce. We have taken excursions to the zoo, the Historical Society, and the Field Museum. We moved up into the second floor. Our project was for each person to make an animal out of plaster and put him in his correct habitat. While we were supposedly resting in the gym, the girls made balls out of blanket fuzz. Sometimes someone would fall asleep - that was very funny. Entering: Tom Stromsen. 13 THIRD GR DE First row: McGuinn, A. Smoler, N. Fried. B. Rittmiller. G. Wright. S. Hornstein. Second row: I.

We like it, and eating in the Parker cafe' teria is one of our biggest pleasures. Our senior big brothers and sisters have been good to us. They gave the Santa Claus party for us and we liked that best of all. We have been studying about transportation. We made an engine out of an old barrel, and we took imaginary rides to distant places. Our nicest experience was a trip to the Illinois Central Roundhouse where we rode on the turntable and blew the horn on the Panama Limited. We made sugar cookies for County Fair. We decorated them too. Then we made a big sign that said we made themg you eat them. Our booth was one of the first to be sold out, and we think it was because of our sign. We have two large rooms in which to work. We use our north room for games, parties, and plays. We have lots of company in the third grade because we like visitors, and we have a place to entertain them. This year we were Indians. We had a large tepee and BigfChieffWhofPretends' Meyer visited us. We went on an excursion to a farm and the fish hatcherf ies. Our puppetfshows about WinniefthefPooh were a great success. There were always spelling-bees and arithmetic contests. Entering: Frannie, Mary Pierce. 14 FGURTH GR DE Back row: R. Gray, D. Coughlin, A. Brown, R. Sideman, P. Corcoran, S. Shamberg, Karl, I.

It's the Fourth grade building their oihces and group rooms for their newspaper, cartography, weaving, and science clubs. But behind all of this noise, there is a lot of work going on. We are learning to speed in arithmetic. Our spelling and writing are improving. We give Dlays, acting out myths and stories from history. In the sunroom we have many books. Some of us go to the library, others to the cubby hole, and some to the top of the high bookcase, to read. The five typewriters are kept busy typing stories for our magazine, The music programs in our room are fun. Several of us can play the piano and sometimes we sing. -Ierry's father has taken very good colored movies of our play, Many Moons . Our modern dance helped to make this play more lively. For Christmas we received a victrola from Judy and it has helped us in our plays, with French records and dances. Our monthly excursions to the Art Institute and to the Young? People's Sym- phony are interesting. The Museum of Science and Industry, and the Planetarium are very popular. We have had several parties including eight for birthdays. Who will ever forget Miss Davis and the Greeks? Or the chariot that was the mainstay of our many plays. Then there were the fluffy baby chicks that were born early one Saturday morning. We had watched them grow from embryos. Az Christ' mastime, we decorated the blackboard with colored chalk. Entering: john, Dorrie. to 15 FIFTH GRADE ,po- 1'irst row: M. Adler. J. West. W. Altman, R.

MEYER'S LITTLE DARLINGS According to Webster. a Iunior is a person with the education of a Freshmang the mentality of a Sophomore: and the attitude of a Senior. Having defined the subject under discussion, we shall now proceed to exemplify the deeds and misdemeanors of the thirtyfsix nymphflike apparitions that have been placed under the custody of Herr Meyer for the past eight months. Famed for the quiet atmosphere and neat appearance of the grade room. the class of 1950 has this year successfully initiated chinning, wrestling. and indoor football as a matter of course after lunch. What we dubiously term class meetings are held in the den of iniquity every Thur-day. wherein Robert's rules of order are altered slightly to fit our garruloufz tendencies and Scradzke's constitution. Counted among our virtues are the Tea Room. the Alumni Dance, our athletic prowess. our record attendances at zerofstudy, our several successful cla-s parties. the moon and ufivefpence and our ability tofpullfthroughfatftheflastfmoment. Conclusion drawn from this treatise: We are quite ready and able to bid adieu to our per- fected junior gymnastics and become reverred and exalted seniors. Meyer and 8:26.

Srolz 34 P-Qu QQ 'Q' R N N hx E W STUDE GOVER ME PRESIDENT - MARY MEYER This year, as in many years before, Student Government has been a subject of much discussion. There has been a great lack of interest on the part of the student body, although by various discussions devoted to the functions of Student Govern' ment some interest has been stimulated. Other important discussions have dealt with the social activities here at Parker, and the problem of including the eighth grade in certain aspects of Student Government. Many amendments to the constitution were brought up and several essential ones were passed and put into use. Much credit is due to the President, Secretary and various committees working under them who tried to accomplish the aims of Student Government. It is hoped that in following years Student Government will have regained its original influence in Parker life. 36 lit ll ,nil ill!! :slings ,. O. l', P. LESERMAN W. WAOLFF D. HELLER J. JOSIMOVICH COMMITTEES The SOCIAL COMMITTEE opened the Parker social season with the traditional Football dance. The Seniors did themselves proud with their delicious food and clever decorations. Old familiar faces helped to make the Alumni game and dance a tremendous success. By popular request, two turnabouts were heldg both rollickf ing successes. This year's social events made up in quality what they lacked in quantity. The MORNING EXERCISE COMMITTEE has provided Morning Ex's., which due to student interest, have been educational, interesting and informative. This year, through a variety of speakers, movies and plays, Morning Ex's., have been an extremely valuable part of the schooI's curriculum. The LIBRARY COMMITTEE has accomplished much this year. With increased co'operation from students, they have purchased a large number of books for the library and fulfilled their duties as an active member of Student Government. The DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION has put on only one play this year due to faculty restriction and the numerous other plays and musicals which have been given. The idea of considering the whole High School as members of this Associa' tion has not worked out as well as was hoped. The STUDY HALL COMMITTEE, under David's able hand, conducted excellent studies this year. Unfortunately they were taken over in the middle of the year by the Faculty. This event was not due to poor study halls. The lack of cofoperation between the members of the LUNCHROOM COMMITTEE and the student body at the year's beginning has been remedied by the assembly's help. The committee has played a vital part in providing delicious sodas and in making the lunchroom a more smoothly running establishment. The RELIEF COMMITTEE has carried on its work very conscientiously this year. There have been clothing drives, fund'raising campaigns, and other activities as well as the providing for the little French girl. The lack of support by the student body seems typical of so much of the world today. The AUDITING COMMITTEE has fulfilled its duty of handling the budget booksg therefore acting as a check on the expenditures of Student Government. 37 G. LAWRENCE K. MIDDLETON P. FRISTROM B.

Toy Shop this year, was a valuable experience for everyone, especially the Seniors who visited some dozen settlements before deciding on nine which they serviced completely. They then ran Toy Shop without executive help from Faculty or Parents. Each grade made contributions to the two weeks' work, which included making and filling over one thousand candyf stockings. Aided artistically by Parents Night, Toy Shop completed a very successful year. np, , K s x sll 11 ll THE SHOPA-PARENTS NIGHT PAINT DECORATION SHOP 42 I ACTI ITIES ,Al PUZZLE DEPARTMENT LARGE PAINT SHOP SEWING DEPARTMENT CHRISTMAS TEA 43 Q .

For the first time in the history of the school, the Special Chorus presented an operetta. It was Kurt Weill's DOWN IN THE VALLEY. This was the first performance of the operetta anywhere. With the very able assistance of Mrs. Gerahty and Madge Friedman and under the fond direction of Maestro Griffith it was en' thusiastically received. Although the entire cast was excellent we feel that three people deserve special commendation for their outstanding work. They are: Bunny Mcver. David Heller and john Josimovich. Verdi's Requiem was also a major triumph of the Special Chorus. In spite of the extreme difficulty of the work, it was presented to the satisfaction of almost everybody. 46 CRCHESTR Back row: D.

When the squad assembled last September, the chances of winning the championf ship looked very good. We possessed an experienced backfield and a line that was one of the heaviest in Parker's history. XVe breezed through our first two games, defeating Latin 38f7 and Todd 32f7. Our next opponent was Luther and in a game which was much closer than the score indicated, the boys in Blue and White emerged victorious 2643. Perhaps we suffered a letdown in our next game because we barely squeezed by Wheaton 14-7. The following game provided a new experience for the team-we played at night. After a hardffought bruising battle, we continued our unbeaten streak by defeating North Park 2144. It was unfortunate that the game was so hardffought, because the next week the team faced Harvard. Harvard had a very good team and we did not play one of our best games. When the dust had settled Parker found itself on the short end of a 32fO score. That game incidentally was for the championship, so in the league standings we were second. In conclusion I would like to express the deepest appreciation for the fine job of coaching to Mr. Long and Mr. Horween, who through their devoted service, made it possible for the team to enjoy the fine season it did.

The regular season was unsuccessful as we started practice only a few days before our first game. Our fortune in the post' season tournament was slightly better. By getting a bye and beating North Park we came in fourth. Our reward was a trophy which is now down in the athletic office. Looking back on the basketball season, there was much to be desired. The facilities for practise were inadequate, and a school ruling cut two months off our practice. Maybe next year these matters will be adequately settled. The boys of the team want to take this opportunity to thank Coach Long for his untiring efforts and join together to wish him a more successful season next year.

KANTER With the old point system that was revised last year, the G.A.A. has had a busy and exciting year, thanks to our able cofheads, Elden and Kanter. As usual, the interfclass tournaments in both hockey and basketball were won by the present Seniors although the Freshmen were a close second. The annual BluefWhite Games were won by the Blue Team as were the two AllfStar Games. Our Junior Varsity Basketball Team held up Parker's interfscholastic record by winning our only game of the season. The outstanding event of the year was the lst Annual Staggette, during which, amid fun and entertainment, letters were given to those who had compiled the required number of points throughout theyear, and emblems were given to those who had been elected to the various AllfStar Teams. We certainly hope this affair will be carried on and become better and better in the following years. 47 J Back row: N. Chapin, A. Schwartz, Aud. Schwartz, R. Carlson. Front row: B. Gump, H.
