rrf| nuwpiMnHiuiqimTry GEORGETOWN TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL For almost one hundred years Georgetown has been a center of secondary education in Eastern Illinois. The first educational plant for this purpose was a seminary under the auspices of the Methodist Church and was located on the site of the present Seminary Building. Later the Washington Building and the Seminary Building each saw years of service in education beyond the elementary schools. Thus the Georgetown Township High School began its career with a rich heritage. Now that it is twenty-two years old, it, too, has its memories. For although it has very little ivy on its walls or carving on its desks, it is nevertheless dear to the hearts of many alumni and old students. Already a few of the first graduates have children who are graduates of the same institution, and many of the members of the present high school body have parents who have been connected with the school. May it continue to be dear to the hearts of the children of the community, and the boys and girls who go out from its influence. THE BUFFALO l u :t 7 CONTENTS FACULTY CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS PATRONS In Memoriam Mr. Rees was connected with the schools of Georgetown for thirty years, as a teacher, principal, superintendent, and president of the high school board of education, and in each of these offices he worked for the betterment of the youth of Georgetown, morally, intellectually, and spiritually. His kindly nature, his unusual personality and his upright living left an impression upon all who came in contact with him. He will be missed in the schools and the community, but we trust that the example he set before us may never be lost. L O REV. C. E. SMITH. President MR. W. L. RICHIE, Secretary MR.

FRESHMAN BOYS CLASS OFFICERS Secretary-Treasurer..........................Garnett Watts Advisor.........................................Mrs. Snyder L o OF 19 3 7 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY ..THE.. BUFFALO . 19 3 7 . In 1934, Georgetown High School formed a chapter in a national organization known as the National Honor Society. This is the only honor club in the school. Each year the faculty selects students from the Junior and Senior classes to be members of this organization. In order to gain entrance to the society, a student must rank in the upper one-third of his class in scholastic standing. Other bases for selection are: leadership, character, and service. Four seniors, who were members of this organization last year are: Mary Jane Stewart, Edna Fix, Jack Sheets and John Neild. In May these students will present before the school assembly an initiation for the new members of the club. This is to be a very impressive ceremony. The only lights will be those given by candles on the stage. Each of the old members will represenff an ideal and give a short talk about that ideal. New members will repeat the club pledge and be declared officially installed members by Mr. DeLand. The new members are: Frances Magers, Morris Henderson and Bonnie Payne, Juniors: Juanita Holmes, Mario Biava, Charles Goodner and Curtis BrorrJey, Seniors. The club hopes, in future years, to purchase for each student, as he becomes a member of the club, an official Honor pin.

As the name of the organization indicates, this group is intended to promote general student welfare. It serves as the voice of the students and is a connecting link between students and faculty. Each year one member from the freshman class, two from the sophomore class, three from the junior class, and one from the senior class are elected. Junior class members continue in office two years, making a total membership of four for the senior class. One faculty member is elected each year and the principal is an ex-officio member. The Council has sought to promote various social activities about the school. The All-School Halloweâen Party was the biggest event directly sponsored by the group during the year. Social activity is not the only concern, however, of the Student Council. It is recognized by the membership that the interests of all the students are best promoted by an orderly and well organized student body. The Council has sought to create student feeling and respect for orderly corridors and study halls. For this purpose the Boys' Patrol and Student Court have been devised. Discussions in council meetings frequently center about ways and means of building proper spirit and citizenship in the school. The high ideals, which have been the tradition for our Council since its organization, have been upheld by the present membership. ..THE.. BUFFALO . 19 3 7 . BOYSâ PATROL When school re-opened in September it was necessary to find some new members to take the place of those who graduated last year. From the list of applicants the Student Council approved of sufficient number to complete the Patrol. The new Patrol elected Charles Gorman to serve as captain. A new activity of the Patrol during the year was the organization of a Student Court, consisting of five members of the Patrol. The purpose of the Court is to secure better conditions among the students. It is intended that the Court will have jurisdiction in all cases where the general welfare of the student body is involved. Members are Curtis Bromley, Charles Gorman, Horace Payne, Mario Biava, and Jack Sheets. As regular activities the Patrol takes care of corridors during the morning and noon sessions, and assists in conducting athletic contest.

While Literary contests are not an entirely new field for Georgetown, they were never given extensive attention until the spring of 1936. Under the guidance of Miss VanTress, Dramatic Coach, more than half of the divisions in contest work were entered by students then. This year every division has been entered. A dramatic reading is being given by Margaret Reid; humorous, Elizabeth Campbell; verse reading, Doris Wells; oration, Richard Smith; original oration and extempore speaking, Edna Fix. Members of the one-act play cast are Mary Jane Stewart, Frances Magers, James Switzer and Harrison Farrar. The one-act play met with success at the sub-district contest at Wat-seka and will represent Georgetown at Normal. Elizabeth Campbell also took first place at Watseka with her humorous reading, The Courtship of Mr. Bumble and Mrs. Corney, and later will enter the district contest at Normal. County contests have not been held as yet, but the same entries will be made with the exception of the one-act play. There is no county contest in this division. It will be noted that most of the students participating in this contest are very young and inexperienced in their respective fields. However, this will be good material for another year and Georgetown hopes to make an even better record as these speakers advance. ..THE.. BUFFALO . 19 3 7. CONTEST CHORUS To represent Georgetown High School in the spring music contests twenty-four girls chosen from the Festival Girls Chorus and the Freshman Girls Chorus contributed their talents. The girls of this group have spent much time outside of the regular rehearsal period in preparing the two contest numbers, one of which is the required number. Their work merits much praise because of the sincere, earnest effort which they have put forth to produce music of outstanding worth.

BUFFALO . 19 3 7. Friday, the Thirteenth of November was the date when the junior play cast proved that it was not superstitious. The play, ' Patsy Strings Along, with its theme of football made a very suitable fall play. Lakeland Academy, headed by Billy Roberts, was about to close its doors when Jane Sanders strings along. With the help of Jack Chandler, a star football coach, and his trainer, James Switzer, enough touchdowns are made to bring success.

It was made up of a group of twenty charter members, chosen because they had been active in dramatic and music events during previous years. This group elected Eleanor Emory as president. The purpose of the club was to increase interest in dramatics. The organization was continued this year under the direction of Jack Sheets as president. Fifteen members remained from last year and nineteen now members have been added this year. In order to gain entrance to this club, most of the students have participated in a major dramatic performance during the school year. However. a ten-minute audition before an audience of any size will automatically admit a student to the club. An assembly program arranged by the club was given at Christmas time. The main feature was a one-act play. The Kleptomaniac. This organization was also responsible for entering the play. The Blue Teapot , in the one-act play contests which were held in Watseka and Normal. ..THE.. BUFFALO . 19 3 7 . Bottom RowâPrances Magcrs, Joan Sheets, Jane Sanders. Jack Sheets.

Although this is not wholly true of Georgetown High School's public, still, getting the happenings of the school properly reported does add to the community's understanding of school events. This task of keeping the school before the public was undertaken again this year by the Junior Class. Each week, except at holiday time, the staff of Juniors, assisted by their advisor. Miss Rees, has published in the local paper a page known as the Georgetown High School News. The aim has been primarily to cover all the events of the school, and incidentally, to offer an opportunity for the expression of school opinion. Morris Henderson, as editor-in-chief, Frances Magers, Joan Sheets, Bonnie Payne, and Adele Endzelis as assistant editors, and an active group of reporters have shown more than usual interest in the work. Such a page can only be published by the cooperation of the entire school. The faculty has been especially helpful this year in furnishing material for stories planned by the staff. Miss Clark has again been in charge of the typing which has been done by the advanced typing classes. The school, as a whole, has taken an interest in contributing to the page. ..THE.. BUFFALO . 19 3 7 . LIBRARY STAFF What's a good book to read? is a question often heard in the Library. Here we see students taking advantage of the privilege of borrowing books to read both for school assignments and for personal pleasure. One hundred ten new books were placed on the Library shelves during the year. Approximately sixty-five of these were books which had not previously appeared on our reading lists, while the remaining number were duplicate copies of much-used books. Many students find the sets of encyclopedias and other reference books of great value in their school work. A notable addition to the Library this year was a 1936 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica. A glance at the torn covers of the periodicals in the magazine rack should assure any observer of the fact that many students are forming the habit of reading worth-while current literature. A staff of twenty-one students was selected in September to assist in the operation of the Library. This number was decreased later in the year when the work was reorganized under fifteen assistants.

Mr. Russel The band seemed rather slow in getting started this year, but now it is progressing nicely. We have played for a number of school activities, including some home basketball games and for the games of the County Tournament that were played at Georgetown. Many of the instruments are owned by the school. The school board granted us a sum of money with which to purchase instruments, and we are trying to equip the band with instruments of the best quality. As a first year band, we are entering the district band contest to be held in Clinton, Illinois, on April third. Our goal next year is to have a band of at least thirty or more pieces. ..THE.. BUFFALO . 19 3 7 . ORCHESTRA The orchestra started the year with approximately twelve players and has increased throughout the year to its present number of twenty-five. We have been rather handicapped by having only one rehearsal a week, although we have done very well. We have built up a fairly good library of music and could present several programs with the music we now have. In the future it is our purpose to be prepared to play for many of the school functions, and also to give some concerts during the year. ..THE.. BUFFALO . 19 3 7 .

This gives them the privilege of participating in the Vermilion County Music Festival, which was held this year in Danville, on December I I, 1936. A large number of the students in this group took part in the spring music contests and have also contributed to other musical activities of the school year. FRESHMAN GIRLSâ CHORUS Within this glee club are to be found some of Georgetown High School's finest musicians in the years to come. This group of thirty girls has the Thursday activity period as the regular rehearsal time. They represent a group of faithful workers, who, although not privileged to participate in all the musical activities of the year, willingly work in order to bo members of the Festival group of next year. They have assisted in various musical activities and are deserving of much commendation. ..THE.. BUFFALO . 19 3 7 . Bottom RowâMarjorie 15rooks. Marguerite Maskel.

The boys' glee club started the year with approximately forty-five members. For a number of various reasons a few of the members were forced to withdraw; however, a majority of them are still enrolled. The high point of the year was our participation in the music festiva1 in Danville. We also took part in a Christmas program before the student body. Next year we would like to have an even larger organization and also more time for rehearsals. ..THE.. BUFFALO . 19 3 7 . F. F. fl.

Georgetown Home Ec Room Georgetown High School's home arts laboratory, built and equipped according to specifications of the State High School office and the Smith-Hughes requirements, is equal to the best in the state. The room measures 22 x 66 feet and has fourteen large south windows. It is furnished in one end for cooking and in the other for sewing. An important feature of the sewing department is an equipment cabinet in which each girl has a drawer of her own with her number on it in which she keeps all her sewing supplies when they are not in use. There are four large cutting tables with places made for these drawers, while the equipment which is kept in them is being used. Five sewing machines are provided, one of which is electric. A large triple mirror and two stationary ironing boards are other features of the room. On the left side of the room is a fully equipped kitchen. Two electric ranges, two gas stoves, one electric refrigerator, and a mechanical towel dryer constitute a part of the cooking equipment. The most attractive feature of this side of the room, however, is the tier of white cabinets filling the entire end of the room and reaching from the floor to the ceiling. In these there is a place for everything needed in preparing and serving a modern meal. The room is finished throughout in white enamel with touches of scarlet. Plants in red pots in the windows and appropriate pictures complete the artistic setting. ..THE.. BUFFALO . 19 3 7 .

Played guard, tackle or end and played them all well. Ed had lots of ambition. It's too bad he waited until his senior year to try for the team. M. BiavaâSeniorâEndâFirst letter in football. Could have been a very good end had he liked the game better. Was a good pass catcher and could be relied upon to hold the opposing tackle at least once in every football game. J. NeildâSeniorâTackleâWas awarded his second letter and the sportsmanship trophy for two consecutive years. A hard worker, willing, always trying hard. His attitude and spirit should be an example for the younger boys on the squad. Although John is gone we know the memory of his fine sportsmanlike conduct will linger on. J. TamalunisâSeniorâBackâJoe earned his second letter as a regular in the blocking back position. Played his position well. Looked best against Gary. F. VettorelâSeniorâCenter (Capt.)âCalled signals and did most of the tackling on defense. Frank was a good leader, an accurate passer and always gave all he had in every game. What more could anyone ask of any captain? P. LopinskiâSeniorâBackâ Flip' waited until his senior year to play football. Although light, he developed into a good blocker. Had boils and a cow: both took considerable time. Worked hard on the field. Was at his best against Hoopeston. J. TuckerâJuniorâEndâJimmie earned his second letter. Has one more year to go. Should develop into a very good defensive lineman next year if he speeds up a little. W. SproulsâJuniorâGuardâEarned regular job at guard because of his fight. Small, aggressive, clean athlete. Co-Captain for 1937. Well liked by every boy on the squad. With his fine fighting spirit we look forward to capable leadership for the coming season. G. EllisâJuniorâBackâ Peaches was elected Co-Captain and deserved the honor. He is one of those boys who never gives upâworks hard all the time and trains always. His last year should be his best. Has courage, speed and likes to play. Watch him next year. H. PeavlerâSoph.âBackâHank earned his first letter. Has speed, likes to tackle and block, which are three mighty welcome characteristics in a football player. With two more years to go, Hank should become an outstanding player unless he develops that terrible disease of athletes, Grand-Standitis. I. PaxtonâSoph.âGuardâPlayed regular guard position as Soph. With two more years of football, should become an excellent lineman and an outstanding athlete. Hope to see him become a little more serious. E. WilliamsâSoph.âEndâ Wib is young, fast, ambitious, and willing. Two more years to go. Should be a good ball player next year. G. DietkusâSoph.âTackleâPlayed left tackleâtoughest spot on the team. George is big, rugged and has ability. Needs a little more fire. We believe he will be a power-house next season. Watch him. S. GriderâSoph.âBackâBig. fast, excellent blocker, fair tackier, excellent punter, fine passer. All he needs is ambition. It certainly would be unfortunate for this boy if he does hide his light-weight under a bushel basket for lack of interest and ambition. Should develop into all-state backfield material if he wants to.

Played two years as a regular. Was one of the best, if not the best, defensive guard in Vermilion County. A good captain of a good team. Hard boy to replace. Lloyd FosterâSeniorâGuardâFirst year on the team. Good defensive guard, but scored too infrequently. Would have been much better with another year's experience. His Tennessee mountain drawl will be missed by all. Louis LopinskiâSophomoreâForwardâ Louie'' shared the forward job with Chandler. Clever boy on his feet. Should be an excellent scorer next season. Robert LoweâSophomoreâForwardâ Tuffy makes up for lack in size by being the hardest scrapper on the floor. A good shot, fast, aggressive and trains well. Two more years to go. Should be an outstanding forward. Jack ChandlerâJuniorâForwardâJack developed a great deal this year. Had to overcome a serious lack of confidence. Was at his best against Paris and Danville. Should be a leading scorer next season. Russel GustinâSophomoreâCenterâ Grandma played his second year as regular center. Led the entire team in scoring. Lacked only four points of tieing the all-time individual scoring record of G. H. S. Will become a dandy when he gets a bit more drive and fire. Hope his Geometry doesn't throw him. Watch him. Horace PayneâSophomoreâGuardâ Hack is young, fast, and aggressive. Should develop into a clever guard. Will no doubt be a regular next season. Fine attitude, a clean athlete, and a fine boy. Arthur DesmetâSophomoreâForwardâ Art is big, aggressive, and a bit awkward. Developed fast this season. Should be a regular next year and a tough lad to handle when he gets a few more games under his belt.
