When in the world the struggle to be free, When sorrowing heart would soar as doth the bird— But life’s great load their effort has deferred— Thy words shall set their weary spirits free! This is thy triumph, this thy laurel wreath That in the mart of this great pushing world, The souls that strive the weary load beneath Turn to thy words on memory’s page empearled; In thankfulness for all thy life doth lend, Thy name they breathe and say—“She was my friend!” K1 g m s SIXTEEN g , s D3 g D3 g Kl g Da ■ Da g Da g Da g Da g Da g Da g Da g Da g D3 g Da g Da g Da g Da g 3 5 WU PACKAGE TWO JLnCL I ALL An CUP A mo yil mvi wnnA mm the best or mmos An YBODY HE PE s5rr v KELLY,r DC Mid ALL EH ?-6LLLPitiC? prowc the melton OADDYS BOY LET'S fiE'T OC A Hi OUT Ah A SMILE Da g Da Da Da g Da Da Da Da g Da Da Da Da as eg SEVENTEEN DagDagDasDagDagDasDagDagDagDasDagDagDagDagDagDagDagDag 3Gd3Bd3Gd3GdSGd3Gd3Gd3Gd3Gd3GdSGdSGd3Gd3Gd3GdSGdSGdSGd jg Ed Ed g s ua Ed Ed 3 ca 3 Ed fttrekrall Mentors EX] 3 Ed 3 EX3 g EX3 3 Ed g EX3 Now, we bid each other farewell, maybe forever, We may not meet again, But there are bonds nothing can sever, Sorrow, failure or pain.

E Da SALUTATORY,_____________________________________________LESTER VAN TRESS S D3 You are now seated in the assembly room of the great brain-de- J5g veloping institution of Hall Township. As has long been proclaimed by word and pen, the managers and overseers are to place before you today for inspection the finished product of 1924, with a view to placing it at once on the market of the world’s citizenship. E Dd s Da ■ Da E Da E Da dd E Da E Da E Da At this point, however, it might be well to reveal something of the intricate operations involved in the output of such a product as we advertise. In the first place, this finished material has been constantly in the making since the entrance into the first grade of a particularly promising batch of raw material twelve years ago. Very few are the processes which are so exacting and precise that twelve years are needed in their execution, as is the case here—eight years in the subplants; four years in this establishment. But stay—it is not our purpose at this time to consider so much the method and manner of making, but rather the nature and characteristics of the finished product. Accordingly, after delving with utmost diligence into the innermost recesses of our brains, we have compiled an accurate inventory of the stock on hand, that the world may be able to compute with more intelligence the value of these human manufactured appliances at your disposal. E Dd E Dd E Dd We have found in diverse stages of perfection, in sundry shapes and forms, and in motely shades and hues a considerable accumulation of information, knowledge and learning, diligently labeled and named, and duly appraised at their face value by the board of examiners, the faculty. jVj TWENTY-SEVEN DdEDdSDdEDdSDdSDdSDdEDdSDdSDdEDdSDdSDdEDdEDdSDdSDdSDdS SDdSDdEDdSDdSDdEDdSDdEDdEDdSDdEDdEDdSDdEDdEDdEDdSDdEDdSDdEDdEDdSDdSDdEDdE gQSEia3HgH3gH£BSgllgB13HgBSgHEH£lfigBiSIIXHgE4gBB (1) WRITING. Made by the improved and recently-patented process including K! some eight or ten hand operations and requiring twelve years—readable in approximately nine cases of every ten. This striking fact might seem more conceivable when we recall that the longer the period of making, the more perfect the finished product. The market abounds in cramped substitutes and backhand imitations. Beware of them--buy only the brand marked, “Class of 1924—Hall Township High School.” g [U] g (2) READING. m One of the exclusive features of this product is that it imparts to the user a smooth-running, glossy, well oiled conversation—free from harsh haltings and unpleasant hesitations—endorsed everywhere. Francis Bacon of London says, “Reading maketh a full man”; Dr. Eliot of Harvard believes that “reading is the greatest tool anyone can have in building a success socially or in business.” The exclusive eleven-year process is another distinctive mark of the article. [Ml 3B (3) GRAMMAR.

CLASS FLOWER_____________________NELLIE AMPUSITTIS Lily-of-the-V alley “We are lilies fair, The flower of virgin light; Nature held us forth and said, ‘Lo! My thoughts of white’!” Since the lily-of-the-valley stands for purity, the renewal of hopes, and the reawakening of life, we have chosen it as a fitting emblem of the new world into which we are moving. Furthermore, it is in harmony with the green and white of our class colors—green for the verdure of our expectations, white for the purity of our thought. Another characteristic of the lily-of-the-valley is that if it is given a start, it will take care of itself. Four years ago the faculty received us with questioning anxiety as to our worth. They took the risk and said to us, “Organize and be.” We organized, were, are, and will be. With the proper guidance at the beginning, we have learned to take care of ourselves. All our undertakings have been carried out just a little better than those of any other class. Just as few flowers are more satisfactory than the lily-of-the-valley, few classes have been more satisfactory than the class of ’24. Again, the universality of this flower is shown in the fact that it g is native not only to America but also to Europe and Asia. Likewise, kg the interests and thoughts of the class of ’24 embrace not only this g land, but also the nations of the Old World. jflj THIRTY S DflEEnISDflEDGEDflEKISDaEDflSDaSDflSDflSKJElnISDflEDaSDflEDaSDflE SK3Ei]EK3ED(]SK]SDflSD{3SDflEDflSKjSK3SD3ED3EKJSDaED{]EDflED{3SK]EK3EDflED{]SDflSD3E HgHEragHSHEHSHEHSHS.GgSHgHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHSHSHSHSKlEKlSK SK3EK1SK3EK3SK3EK3SK]E[K]SK3SK]SK]SK3SK]SK]EK3EK1EK]EK] Finally, the lily-of-the-valley blooms in the spring months, reaching the height of its glory in late May. Similarly on the twenty-ninth of May, the class of ’24 is approaching the pinnacle of its success, radiant and full of promise for a bright future. IV. CLASS MOTTO___________________________CELESTE GRANFIELD “Impossible is Un-American” This motto was chosen because it is a verbal expression of the spirit that has guided the class of ’24 from the time they entered the first grade in 1912, until they received their 'high school diplomas. This was not a conscious spirit at fitfst, and it was not unattended by some mishaps. Believing that “Impossible is Un-American” some of our group attempted to throw paper wads in the early grades, but learned in their effort that while such an act was not impossible it was highly inadvisable. Throughout the years spent in high school there has been a gradual growth of the spirit that “Impossible is Un-American.” Any tendency to believe that an assignment was impossible was removed by the faculty who promptly rewarded such a spirit by a red D or F. This helped to teach many, early in the game, that if they sought diplomas, the word “Impossible” was to be forever obsolete. With the development of an appreciation of the spirit of not only Hall Township High School but also the American nation, came the conviction that the refusal to do anything as impossible was really an act of disloyalty to the ideals of our country. We expect to learn through perhaps bitter experience that some things ARE impossible. Some of our class members who now aspire to the presidential chair may be forced to acknowledge that such an ideal is too lofty. Nevertheless, we do not mean to be thwarted by occasional failures. As we take our places in the community we shall advance worth while causes, branding nothing as impossible. The ideal is high but we can work toward it. Anything short of such purpose would be “Un-American.” V. SENIOR QUARTETTE—Andrew Thomas, Albert Steffen, Lester Van Tress, Michael Bender.

K3 S K3 CLASS REVIEW________________________________ALBERT STEFFEN It is my privilege to appear as historian of the CLASS OF ’24. Although I cannot hope to emulate the attainments of such men as Beard, Bancroft, Wells and numerous others in this role, I aim at least to present an accurate picture of the past four years of my classmates, with “a singular regard to ye simple truth in all things.” In the first place, the class of ’24 is made up of thirty-three members, seventeen girls and sixteen boys. We range in age from Sara Rosenzweig’s sixteen years, five months and twenty-six days to Harry Leggett’s nineteen years, nine months, and four days. We range in height from Isabelle Mitchell’s four feet, ten inches to Carl Blum’s 5 feet, 9 inches with or without his silk stockings. We range in weight from Celeste Granfield’s one hundred pounds to Joe Eschenbaum’s one hundred sixty-five. S K3 S K3 S KJ S K3 S K3 S ki s X K3 S G3 Taken together, as the one in body that we are supposed to he in spirit, we make up an individual of sufficient age to know a great deal, if he’s ever going to learn, for he would be about three hundred and fifty years old—surely an age of wisdom, dignity 'and power. Our height is one hundred twenty-five feet and six inches, which certainly raises us far enough up in the world to look down upon undergraduates. We are a weighty proposition too, for we top the scales at exactly three thousand five hundred fifty-six pounds and one half ounce, avoirdupois. Our hand is large enough to get a firm grasp upon the affairs of the world, for we wear a seventy-eight and seven-eighths glove.. Our head is of sufficient capacity to hold even the vast amount of knowledge we have been cramming into it for the past four years, for we require a hat that measures ninety-six and three quarters. Since a good foundation is the main thing, we already have a good start, for we require a number forty-nine shoe. x K3 S [Ml S 63 K m X K3 X K3 X H X H But, not only in physical size have we assumed enormous proportions—our achievement in upholding the regular and outside activities of the school have been proportionately large. We shall offer ample proof. On November 17, 1923, when La Salle-Peru met defeat at the hands of Capt. Eschenbaum’s pigskin tossers, Hall emerged with the Illinois Valley Championship. Valuable assistants of Captain Eschenbaum were Russel Berry and Charles Chivinski. Then again, when Princeton suffered defeat at the hands of Captain Jacobowski’s whirlwind basket-ball team, Hall achieved another victory, for this X (MI X (M3 X B3 THIRTY-TWO gHSHgHKHXHEHXHSHSHSHgHBISgHVHaEIIIBIXillHXBIgHSglSHSBfSIlBHii K3SHSHSK3SK]SK3SK]SK]SK3SK3SK3SEaSKlSK3SK]SK3SKlSM Dd meant that she was champion of Bureau County. Some of the men who featured heroically in this action were Edwin Hill and Michael Bender. Then our great track team is captained by Andrew Thomas, Hall’s sprinter, with Carl Blum and Harry Leggett as valuable assistants. KJ g K3 Again, the class of ’24 has inspired numerous audiences with the Orpheus-like tones of their musical instruments and voices. There are Dorothy Burman, Kathleen McCrudden and Adele Johnston, songbirds of the Glee Club, trilling to the music of Alice Kramer; also Walter Laugal, flutist, and Fred Blassick, tuba player, the qualified representatives of Hall’s first band. In the literary field and in general activities our progress is astounding. In comparing the “Hall Times” and the “Hall Light” of 1920 with those of 1924, one is impressed with the improvement effected by such staff members as Aldona Surwill, joke editor, George Anderson of the art division, and Francis Hurley, athletic reporter. Ella Matusevich, Celeste Granfield and Margaret Wimbiscus are competent representatives in commercial contest work; Nellie Ampusittis belongs on the Senior honor list, while Lester Van Tress pilots Hall’s up-and-doing organization, the Honorary Activity Club. In the Dramatic Art work of Hall what would Miss Osmanson have done without the Seniors? There are Ella Wilson and Clara Burnell in gay sunbonnets representing “In Love With a Hero;” Loretta Dwyer, the little boy who liked all-day suckers, Cecelia DeFilippi, tying “apples on the lilac tree,” and Dominic Campeggio who went to the Animal Fair in the Concert Company; Sara Rosenzweig, the inimitable “Dulcy;” Catherine Tarro, as Della the cook, and Melvin Campbell, her lover Tim in “Penrod”; also Ila Warner as Mrs. Castle-bury in “Tweedles.” I have not used the brilliant colors of my imagination in reviewing the class of ’24, lest I should lay myself open to the charge of undue self-appreciation. Suffice it to say, that these achievements, glowing and colorful as they have been from the beginning, are only foreshadows of the real class of 1924—the end is not yet. VII. CLASS OPTOMIST__________________________FRANCIS HURLEY g Qi M D3 H S Four years ago some fifty unsuspecting students of their own free SfraSfraSfraSfraSfraSfraSfraSfraSCaSfraSfraSfraSfraSfraSfraSfraSfraSCS K) S S K3 S fra S frO s fra g K3 S to g fra s fra g ca g fra g fra s fra. s fra g ca will and accord sought and gained admission to Hall Township High School. These people collectively were henceforth to be known as the class of ’24—that was the first noticeable discrimination—for from the outset the faculty assumed an attitude which was far from reassuring. In fact, they seemed satisfied that ’24 was not to be the year of our graduation. Despite this dubious attitude toward our success in imbibing the prescribed knowledge, we have reached the culmination of our high school career. The goal is in sight; we are about to reap the reward. Graduation is a happy attainment and since our effort is to be recognized, the conclusion has a tendency to over-shadow the accumulated grievances of four terms—but that tendency cannot erase them from our minds. The reward of labor is more labor; hence I have been delegated the task of summarizing the atrocities committed against my classmates, when I might have been eulogizing the praises of good old Hall Township. Fate or a colossal blunder has plunged me into this happy situation which only adds to the discriminations against me personally; but to fulfill the trust placed in me I must pass on to the matter concerning the other members of my class. One of the greatest pleasures of life is to be left undisturbed. The study hall should be an ideal spot to indulge in such pleasure, but none of us has ever enjoyed the privilege. We could not engage our neighbor in subdued conversation concerning Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, or Einstein’s Theory of Relativity or perhaps a bit of a date, if it happened to be in springtime, without the teacher in charge entirely forgetting that a student does not get as wise as an owl by having someone continually “hooting” at him. ca S KJ S frfr s frO s ca s ca s ca s K3 S fra s fra s fra s fra s ca s fra fra s fra s ca s ca s ca s ca s ca s ca s ca When we were freshmen we were consoled by the thought that some day we could look down at other beginners. Religiously we followed all rules and regulations—never returned to school after an absence without presenting an excuse properly certified and endorsed. At specified intervals we were mysteriously called out of the study hall and with fear and trembling given a command to repair to the board room. Much to our relief upon crossing the threshold we beheld a few companions apparently trying out for the Glee Club or engaging in a slap stick comedy, for each applicant armed with a wooden taper was saying, “Ah-h-h-h.” with all the gusto of an auctioneer. We were about convinced that the aspirant would be accepted when the nurse exclaimed, “Tonsilitis and one bad tooth.” Not until then did we realize the cause of the summons and satisfy ourselves that we could remain in school a little while longer. Then there were examinations to surmount and bad grades to ex- rTHIRTY-FOUR C3 S fra S fra ca s ca s ca s ca s ca s ca frasfrasfrascasfrasfrasfrascasfrasfrasfrasfrasfrasfrasfrasfrasfrasfras XGOXGGXCOXGGXGGXGOXOGXOGXGOXOOXGOXGGXGOXCOXGGXGOXGOXCO H X GO X CO X $0 x CO X H X CO x M plain and live down. Did we get away from these things when we became seniors? We heartily aver that we did not. We were continually reprimanded for infractions of disciplinary measures. It was either Attorney General Daugherty or the faculty who said that the “Way of the transgressor is hard.” Regardless of who said it, the latter have given it a general application with the result that we have experienced four years of continuous doubt and uncertainty. Even our teachers failed to appreciate the strain of three arduous years— we were certain that as the last year wore on, the studies would slacken, but I daresay even at the expense of sleep, the faculty have spent much time blocking out work for us. I almost said that they expected us to do it. I believe I shall say they expected us to do it. In fact I will say that they insisted upon our doing it. There were recondite Vergil, far-fetched physics and far-flung history, to say nothing of geometrical conundrums such as follows: Given, one moonlight night on the Mississippi with phantom breeze a-stirring; a three-mile current travelling slowly and the boat drifting lazily. How old is the captain’s neice? (Q. E. D.) When we review such trials, it is small wonder that we look to the end with relief. But Commencement is the balm which soothes and heals the spirit pained by the little unpleasantries which arose during our years at Hall. In retrospect these trouble will become insignificant in contrast with happier events. As a class we bring up the disagreeable occurrences and mold them with the more delightful experiences which will remain as pleasant memories of the glorious days of the class of ’24. VIII.

SENIOR QUARTETTE. XI. XII. READING______________________________________LORETTA DWYER VIII. CLASS WILL__________________________________ANTON JACOBOWSKI We, the Class of 1924 of the Hall Township High and Vocational School, City of Spring Valley, County of Bureau, State of Illinois, and United States of America, in thirty-two individual and distinct parts, in full possession of a crammed mind, an enlightened intellect, a supermentality and all other sensibilities, do make and publish this as our last will and testament. First, we do direct that our funeral services be conducted by our friends, superintendent, and his all wise and ever competent faculty, only asking as the last injunction of the dying that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our unsurpassable merits deserve. As to such estate as our own strong hands and stronger brains have won for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We give and bequeath to our learned faculty a series of sweet, unbroken and restful nights. To them we also give sole right to use the amazing and startling knowledge that we have instilled in them through oral recitations and examination papers.

We leave to the “Hall Times” our glorious journalistic attainments as permanent tokens to serve as inspiration to classes following in the wake of our noble group, a brilliant organization of talented scribes, well versed in the art of interesting story writing and in the composition of worth while editorials. To the Juniors, Sophs, and Freshmen we will the freedom of deciding among themselves who shall occupy the best seats in th« assembly, who shall secure for museums the pencil stubs of the class of ’24. who shall become possessors of the senior dignity, and Anally who shall take the reins of government long held by our judicial class. The individual donations are as follows: NELLIE AMPUSITTIS, joyous that she may be of help in this noisy world, leaves her quiet, melodious voice to Margaret Camerlo, whose only rival is a radio loud-speaker. GEORGE ANDERSON with a movie sigh gives up his popularity gj with the Freshmen girls to Daniel Burnell, the coming shiek. MICHAEL BENDER finds it hard to leave his many abilities, but rt generous Mike bequeaths his extra long speaking lung to Glen Gross. H who should now be able to give all opposing debaters the “air.” RUSSELL BERRY considers his position as an ail star center a worthy gift for three-foot Battiste. (You can’t say you’re among the minority now, Battiste.) FRED BLASSICK donates his ear mufflers and bass horn to Joe 2 Picco. (You can now become a musician of Fred’s type, Joe, for you jxxj won’t be able to hear your own music.) CARL BLUM generously leaves his bashful ways and instinct for g writing love poems to Charles Orloff, who has difficulty expressing in £jj prose his sentimental feelings for an Ottawa lass. mi do DOROTHY BURMAN gives her sophisticated manners to any one g who wants them.

DOMINIC CAMPEGGIO thinks his musical inclinations should bless Joe Surwill who once told “Dom” his violin pounded as musical as Joe’s clarinet—that is, when it was silent. CHARLES CHIVINSKI knows nobody else would appreciate his poetical ability but Richard Nesti who intends to write poetry for a living. (Will you please leave a small sum to save Richard from the land of tight belts?) CECELIA DeFILIPPI forces her mathematical genius on Leona Heilgeist, for Leona, like “Cel,” baits her vamping hooks with concrete formula. LORETTA DWYER leaves her reading ability to Beatrice Boucher who acknowledges the need of inspiration.

KATHLEEN McCRUDDEN presents her chauffeur’s license to Ray Meyer, the terror of Seatonville speed cops. ALBERT STEFFEN’S genius for hair-cutting and massaging goes to Melvin Michael. (If in doubt.

We believe that the Statue of Liberty, standing stately in New York harbor, lights the way to a land where human beings have in abundance “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” We exult in the grandeur and variety of her magnificent scenery; in the magnitude of her undeveloped natural resources; but most of all we exult in her undisputed position as the foremost nation in the world, whose counsel is, ceaselessly sought by the courts of the world in the final decision of weighty international problems. We cherish the spirit of Puritanism which has lived in the hearts of the American people for three hundred years; that spirit which has fostered education, liberty, justice, and faith in humanity. The American conscience, manifested in our sending promptly ten millions of dollars for the relief of Japanese earthquake sufferers and four million men for the defense of an ideal in the great World War, has given our nation a reputation for charity and fair mindedness unexcelled in the history of the world. With ears of pride we hear such distinguished foreign visitors as Ex-Prime Minister Lloyd George eulogize our statesmen whose lives and thoughts have molded world policies.

Again, government inquiry into the liquor traffic, the interest graft and cases of reputed political infamy merely suggest the issues facing our state government. The Illinois River deep waterway project, the Illinois Valley hard road system, proposed factory installations, the unorganized farmer and the uncertain fate of our coal mines suggest considerations for our own immediate community. With national issues we shall be only distantly and indirectly connected, but in state and community interests, unlimited influence for us lies latent, if we but capitalize our power. This power lies in the ballot. g K3 S tnJ g KJ g H S KJ g K3 The greatest curse of American politics today is blind voting. Corruption in political principles, graft in governmental business, and under-handed actions of our executive, legislative, or judicial systems can all be traced directly to the American folly of blind voting. What gg do you ask, is meant by blind voting? We might say, with all due regard for the American public, that blind voting is unintelligent voting. g Of course, we all vote intelligently. But hold—whom did you vote for for State Auditor last time? You don’t know? Well, then, whom g did you support for State Treasurer? For Supreme Court Judge? For Clerk of the Court? For Alderman? For your representative g at the State Capitol? Undoubtedly, you know the President and Governor, but how about these other officers? There is no need to feel g ashamed of your apparent ignorance of political officers, for men who now sit in seats of great importance at our state capitols have often g confessed their inability to answer the above questions. Since we know not even the names of our public officers, can we profess to know S their character or political principles ? These conditions are not wholly the fault of the voter, the germ is found in divers places. A large majority of the American people are pessimists who de-g plore the actions of our legislative, executive and judicial bodies, calling them mere political organs which are working for their own personal benefit, disregarding the needs of the country. These same people can be found on election day out hunting or fishing shirking their duty at the polls, allowing crafty organized politicians to gain the power of our K3 government. Is it any wonder then that legislation is passed to favor g organized capital and other interests. Not until the American people realize the power of the ballot, not until they learn to vote with the posterity of our nation in view, not until party love succumbs to national love will the fog be removed from our government to make it one of, by and for the people instead of one of, by, and for the politician.

False reports, propaganda, seditious literature, anti-American text books and circulars all do their bit in the formation of these complicated problems. Therein lies the real cancer. Although the trouble with us and our governmental system seems intricate and complicated, the remedy is comparatively simple. Let us start with our public school systems. Additional emphasis on community and national civics in the curricula of our schools would mean the production of young citizens with a working knowledge of our government such as would enable them to vote as patriots. Additional study of current events from a non-partisan point of view would mean more intelligent voting in regard to national and inter-national issues. National literary censors on newspapers, magazines, text-books, and other public literature would provide clean, non-radical, nonpropagandist literature for the reading element of our nation. The quickest, surest, and most practical method of stimulating interest in the proper functioning of the government and insuring the permanency and integrity of our constitution lies in a system of general education in the principles of community, state, national and international law. Such a policy of general education may seem impossible. Nothing is impossible! “Impossible is un-American!” This process of general education can be carried out through the medium of the school, newspaper, patriotic service league, and the community house. Just as drives are made on tax reduction programs, let us make a drive to produce a thorough knowledge of our national constitution by which our lives are guided. 1X1 E 3X! E 3X3 E 3X3 3X3 E 3X3 Having looked upon the folly of blind voting, the evil that lies in disinterest and ignorance of public affairs, and the unpatriotism of political inactivity, we must concede that there is an enormous task tc be performed before democracy can be truly assured for the people of United States. The means of accomplishing this task lies in the ballot. It will not be long before we, the class of twenty four, shall be given the privilege to wield this scepter of power—the ballot. God grant that the training of our school life, the intelligent fairness that has been taught us in classroom and on athletic field, the nonpartisan attitude we have learned, will help us to become intelligent citizens who will vote in a manner that will make our government one of, by, and for the people! Class of twenty four, let us solemnly pledge our lives to an endeavor to keep the American standard white and to make the United States and the world truly safe for democracy!

Vast farms stretch all around it, while the carline runs through its campus. Strongly shaped are the buildings with frames of brick and iron. Here in the days of spring, of autumn, and winter in many and various classrooms, Gather the boys and girls, eager and zealous for knowledge. Solemnly down the hall comes the teacher, pausing anon near a student, To call him back from Dreamland—misty and dim in the setting— To his textbook of the wonders of physics, closed on the table before him. Loud through the building from basement to belfry, bringing joy or disaster, Sounds the gong of the class bell, summoning the students to judgment. Thus dwell in peace and contentment the “simple” but lighthearted pupils— Dwell in the love (?) of books and teachers of far-famed Hall Township High School.

The band led the parade from the high school to the business section of Spring Valley in order to advertise the Hall-LaSalle-Peru football game of November 17. Support was also given by the band in the basket ball game with Morris. The Annual spring concert was given in General Assembly, April 16. Hall is indeed fortunate in having as band director Mr. Angello Fontecchio, who is well known as the leader of the Spring Valley City Band. A number of the under-graduates take private lessons under Mr. Fontecchio, hoping to become band masters next year. The personnel is as follows: Cornet—Clayton Beecham, Charles Chivinski, Joe Picco.

As a result, there were a large symphony orchestra, a second orchestra and a jazz orchestra. The first orchestra played at different entertainments given during the year. The second orchestra had in its membership the beginning music students. The jazz orchestra furnished music at all social affairs of the school and at several entertainments. ca g Da g K3 g Da g K3 g K3 g FIRST ORCHESTRA §a g Da g ea K3 g m g Violins—Marguerite Noles ’27; Elizabeth Aharharps ’25; Anton Zukowski ’25; Dominic Campeggio ’24; Joye Latham ’25; Alice Kramer ’24; Bruce Wilson ’26; Lena Riva ’26; Celeste Granfield ’24; Lauretta Fenwick ’25; James Johnston ’27; Ethel Keutzer ’25; Minnie Fenoglio ’27; Louis Rupert ’27.

The company consists of fourteen players—talented musicians, a dancer and a reader. The personnel is as follows: Dominic Campeggio ’24, Elizabeth Abrahams ’25. Anton Zukowski ’25, Marguerite Noles ’28—Violins. Clayton Beecham ’25—Cornet and second tenor. Lester Van Tress ’24—Flute and baritone. Albert Steffen ’24—Saxophone, drums and first tenor. Nino Serena ’25—Saxophone. Michael Bender ’24—Cello and basso. Eunice Johnston ’25—Piano. Loretta Dwyer ’24—Reader. Cecelia DeFilippi ’24—Soprano soloist. Beatrice DeFilippi—Dancer. The Concert Company was organized in 1923 under the able leadership of Miss Osmanson. Entertainments were given at Ladd, Sea-■tonville, Granville, Morris and Sheridan. The first concert of 1924 presented to a large and attentive audience at the Ladd Coliceum, followed by programs at Walnut, Granville, Morris, Hall and Ottawa. The program this year was pleasingly varied, including everything from the jazz number “So This Is Venice” to the most difficult classicial “Poet and Peasant Overture.” SEVENTY-SEVEN ■HSHSiiSBISHEiaKliKMKMSHgKJSHBHSMKHKHS aE Bag agGasraSHgBaSHSfHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSEfg'iaSKlSBSSEffiSBagBaSHSeaSKI SMS SKSKlSEaS[M3SK]SK3SKlSK3S[MjSK3SK3SK3SK]SK]SK3SK3 S KJ InJ g SEVENTY-EIGHT Q ] 'BaSK3SK3SX3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3S(M3SK3SK]SK3SK]SK]SK3S gKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJSKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJ g g KJ KJ KJ g KJ g KJ g KJ g KJ g KJ S THE GLEE CLUB OF ’24 There is a charm of power that sways the breast— Bids every passion revel or be still, Inspires with rage or dissolves all care, Soothes distraction and almost despair. g KJ g KJ S KJ S K3 S DO g M g ca g KJ g K3 g ca g Altos Ruth Blake Mildred Greener Leona Heilgeist Lauretta Fenwick Violet Wick Ila Warner Sopranos Anna Hanney Ida Mammei Beatrice Boucher Cecelia DeFilippi Lena Vallero Ameflia Barrowman Frances Latham Doris Schurtz Marguerite Noles Lena Brogi Edith McDonald Louise Barchi Agnes Shaw Edna Phelps Emma Bianchi Anna Lapinski Jennie Valesano Elizabeth Moskaites Second Sopranos Elizabeth Kuckuck Joy Latham Lois Grivetti Loretta Dwyer Ella Matusevich Adele Johnston Piano Eunice Johnston Alice Kramer K3 g D3 g G3 g g g KJ g KJ KJ g KJ g KJ g KJ g KJ g KJ g KJ g KJ g KJ KJ KJ g g KJ KJ g g KJ KJ g g KJ KJ g g KJ KJ S SEVENTY-NINE g KJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJgKJg’KJSKJgKJg SK3SKSHSK3SK3SKSSK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SHSK3S 3SK] S H - §1 K3 i EIGHTY K3 K3SK3SK3S53SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK3SK1SK3SK3S KJ S K3 S H S D3 S K!

HISTORY OF ORGANIZATION Organized by Miss Osmanson in September 1923, with Lester Van Tress, president, Albert Steffen, vice-president, Stella Stenavich, secretary and treasurer, and Miss Kelly, sponsor. MEMBERSHIP A student must have six points to be gained by activities in athletics, debating, magazine work, dramatics, scholarship and all school contests before he can become a member. It is also necessary that his conduct be approved by the superintendent before he becomes a member. ACTIVITIES The members were divided into three groups under Mrs. Dyer, Miss Phelps and Miss Fishback. Each group gave at least one program during the year. Other things promoted by the club were: The boosting of all plays, furnishing music at movies, mock debate in assembly, purchasing of books for the library. Some of the social affairs of the club were a weenie roast, taffy pull and St. Patrick’s dance.

The following officers of the year before were retained: Michael Bender, president; Albert Steffen, vice-president; and Lester Van-Tress, secretary and treasurer. Any student who wished to become a member of the club had to fulfill three requirements. First, he must do research work on some specified topic; second, he must take part in a general discussion on some topic; third, he must take part in a debate. Quite a number of students fulfilled these requirements and became full pledged members. Out of the debating club this year two teams were picked, each having six debaters. Hall entered the State Debating League this year and took part in triangular and dual meets with other schools in the league. Some of the schools contested were Hopkins, Geneseo, Magnolia and Sparland. The questions for debate were: first, Resolved, That immigration to the United States should be prohibited for a period of three years; second, Resolved That the United States should pai-ticipate as a regular member of the World Court.

At Lock Willow farm his interest increases. Finally, in the last scene she finds out Daddy Long Legs is her lover and of course the expected happens.

BB K3 X X X K3 X ea x BB X BB X bb x K3 X X x X PERSONELL OF 1923 FOOTBALL TEAM Joe Eschenbaum—Tackle—Captain “Von” was probably as worthy a man as ever led a Crimson and White eleven—as his selection, by various authorities, for the All Valley Conference Team testifies. Joe always played a hard, fast offensive game, and he was the main factor in stopping the line drives of the opposition. X K3 X BB X CB X Ea Ba X ™ Richard Nesti—Half Back X X 22 “Nig” was another stellar performer in the triple threat department. Teams on the defense have experienced great difficulty in X tackling him because of his peculiar style of running which is executed with a quick side step and a twisting motion that swirls him out of the X arms of the would-be-tackler. Nig also was a unanimous selection for BB half-back on All Valley Teams. S BB Anton Jacobowski—Fullback “Jake” was some boy. He was a hard worker in every game, but his game against Streator was a revelation. Among a field of Dale-men and fighting “Miners” Jake proved the toughest of the lot. He tackled, he diagnosed, he plunged and in every way proved to be an un-surmountable obstacle to the enemy. Jake was another Hall player who made the All Valley Team. X B3 BB X BB X BB X BB X BB X BB X Charles Orloff—Tackle “Chuck” was a goat getter—a good natured big boy who could kid ’em and then go in and crack ’em—a constant fighter and a bully football man. If Chuck couldn’t do it, it was a hopless case. He had beef, brains and speed combined with the happy faculty of keeping his team mates in good humor.

Irving Franckey—Quarter Back “Pio,” by his remarkable generalship, succeeded in piloting the eleven thru a difficult schedule.

REVIEW OF FOOTBALL GAMES DC g DC g DC g DC DC g DC A good number of men answered Coach Keith’s call for football candidates and as the first game with Moline came on the 29th of September, Keith worked the men hard to get them in shape for the tough Plow Boys. The Moline game was a surprise to everyone. The score 14-0 was the lowest score to which Moline, always a powerful opponent, has been held for a long time. The game was played on a hot sunny day and it is due to the stiff training which the team had received that they were able to hold the Moline team to this score. On Saturday October 6th, Hall met Mendota on the home field and handed them a 6-0 defeat. The game was hard fought and rough. The withdrawal of four of Hall’s men coupled with Mendota’s stubborn men caused unlooked for difficulties.

The game was played in the rain and on a very muddy field but the Hall boys walloped the Ottawans 12-7. Hall was behind at the end of the first half but made another touchdown in the last half while holding Ottawa to their original score. The following Saturday October 20, the Hall gridders chalked up another win when they tramped on the Princeton outfit 26-0. The game was played on the Hall field and there was never any doubt as to the outcome. Gd BO 3 3 GO 3 GO 3 GO S GO 3 GO 3 GO 3 GO 3 GO 3 GO S GO 3 GO Everyone was a little dubious about the game with Morris, but when the team got going they soon found that their fears were ungrounded. The Keithmen romped all over them for a 25-0 victory. This was Hall’s fourth consecutive .victory and things began to look good for a championship. With November 3rd came the game with Kewanee. The Kewanee team was unable to offer any appreciable resistance to the Regulars, as the score 38-6 shows, altho they were able to score on the “five-straight-er” men. On Friday November 9th, the team invaded Streator in one of the fierce contests of the season the Hall boys trimmed the Dalemen 26-6. The score does not indicate the closeness of the game nor its ferocity. This game practically assured Hall of the Championship for only the game with LaSalle remained. The last game of the season was played at Hall November 17, a-gainst LaSalle-Peru. It was another easy win for the Keithmen. The Hall team ran rings around the LaSalle boys who were unable to come anywhere near stopping the whirlwind attack of the halfback-field. The score of the game was 38-0, giving Hall the undisputed championship of the Illinois Valley.

He often sacrificed his own scoring possibilities to a generous feeding of the ball to his teammates; his floorwork was unexcelled and his spirit was contagious. “Jake”, one of Hall’s foremost athletes, faded out in a blaze of glory. Edwin Hill—’24—Center “Paddy,” playing his last year of basketball unfortunately was injured, so that his playing season was cut short. But up to the time of his injury he convinced everyone that he was capable of filling the position as running mate for Jake. He carried his fighting spirit into the hospital where he won another victory. Charles Orloff—’25—Center “Chuck” filled the place at center admirably. His aggressiveness was of great value to the team. If “Chuck” hits the ball right he will be a big factor in next year’s team. Richard Nesti—’25—Guard “Nig” always played a fast clever game at guard and his long shooting ability could usually be counted upon to bolster up the score with a few baskets. Charles Rasbidowski—’25—Forw ard Tho the midget man on the team, “Bozo” was famed for his ability to sink a basket when the opponents were clustered about him.

A little over half of the games played throughout the season were won, the percentage being .572. Those that were lost were nearly all dropped by a two or three point margin. This shows that the team never laid down and was always in doing the best work possible. The loss of Edwin Hill’s services was a serious blow, but on the whole the season’s results show that this year’s quintet was the best which has represented the school for quite a few years.

Hand in hand, the varsity and the Lightweights journeyed to Granville only to return victorious. Pep and vim on the part of the Lightweights brought home the honors.

All students interested in tennis met and elected the following officers; Florence Pigati, President; Lois Grivetti. Vice-President; and Albert Steffen, Secretary-Treasurer. A constitution was framed, thereby placing the club on a solid foundation. The club is different from other organizations of the school, in that the members are required to pay dues. Honorary membership was conferred upon the faculty. Meetings were not held regularly during the winter months, but in the spring enthusiasm ran high. The court was skinned and a set of rackets purchased. The club is composed of “live wires” with Mr. Krug as coach and counselor. The members hope to play other schools during the coming year and to enter contestants in the Illinois Valley meet at LaSalle. E E DC S KJ E H E H S H E E OUR COACH Who draws a line on what you eat?

The Hall team was made up of absolutely green material with the exception of Capt. Thomas and Decker who were the sole remaining members of last year’s aggregation. Decker, by gathering a total of seventeen points, got first place in the list of point getters while Capt. Thomas was second with fifteen. The rest of the team was new at the game but some of the fellows showed great promise. Peradotti succeeded in getting a place both in the mile and half events, Jacobowski, placed in the high and broad jumps, Blum showed in the pole vault and Beecham did well in the high jump. Capt.

This year a pennant was awarded to the class winning the tournament. The girls were really aroused. Each class emphatically declared that the pennant was theirs, but that remained for Father Time to disclose. The games began March 14 with a clash of the Juniors and Fresh-ies and continued throughout the following week winding up with the Seniors and Sophomores. In the first game the Juniors proved more powerful; however, they admit that the Freshies put up a game fight. On March 18 a double header was staged—Seniors and Freshmen and Juniors and Sophomores. The Senior-Freshie game was very close and they had to play seven minutes overtime in order to make the score 5-3 in favor of the Seniors. A bang and a clash resulted when the Juniors and Sophs met. This was the hardest fought game of the tournament. The Sophs held the balance of power in their hands during the first three quarters, but by a pass and a toss the Juniors scored and won the game 5-4. March 19 the Sophs conquered the Freshies, 11-2. March 20 the juniors came out victors over the Seniors, 2-1, thereby becoming the winners of the pennant. March 21 the Sophs and Seniors contested for second place, the Sophs being the lucky ones. On the whole, the games were good, due no doubt to the ability of Mrs. Dyer as a coach and physical training director. All-star teams were selected by Mrs. Dyer, Mr. Krug and Mr. Duncan. They were as follows: First Team Florence Pigati, C. Jennie Valesano, F. Anna Hanney, F. Margaret Camarlo, G. Celcelia DeFilippi, G. Second Team Adle Johnston, C. Lena Brogi, F. Veronica Reeland, F.

Hall is the only school of her size in the state that offers this line of work. The course meets the requirements of the Smith Hughes Law whereby fifty percent of the amount expended for instruction is reimbursed by the State and Federal Government. The aim of the work is to prepare the boys for the positions as mechanics. Auto mechanics is a two-year subject. Besides working on automobiles the boys, limited to fifteen in number, are taught Mechanical Drawing, English, Vocational Civics, Vocational Science and Vocational Mathematics. The automobile instruction is given by Mr. Harold Ong, who is an experienced mechanic, thoroughly capable of instructing the boys. The work done by the boys resembles in every way that of a mechanic in a garage. Mr. Ong believes that allowing the boys to work on the motors helps them to understand the work and to get practical experience. The tool room is stocked with standard and modern equipment. Recently a large battery charger and a complete set of battery building and repairing equipment were added. The purchase of modern machinery and a lathe is also contemplated. The boys show great interest in their work. They are a real gang of “Go Getters”, whose interest and industry show their appreciation of the course.

Academic subjects were pursued to the exclusion of vocational studies. As time passed the demand for vocational science increased. It was tried out in the Princeton High School but proved a failure. Later it was offered in the grade schools at Ladd, but was dropped with the coming of Hall Township High and Vocational School in 1914. E3 g D3 g B3 H g H At Hall Manual Training is highly successful, so much so that it overshadows the educational course. One hundred twenty-five boys out of an enrollment of three hundred are taking shop, mechanical drawing or printing. The most prominent reason for this seems to be that most of our forefathers earned their living by manual labor. Not many parents have white collar jobs and only a few can give their children a college education. Hence, they think their boys ought to be taught the same trades that they follow. From a financial standpoint, many parents even sacrifice to send their children to high school. For this reason, boys take vocational studies since these studies have more immediate results in getting position than academic work. One year of Manual Training is required of every boy for graduation. With very few exceptions each boy fills this requirement by taking one or more years of shop or wood working.

Hall’s shop is one of the best equipped in this vicinity. It has six different motor-driven machines; a combination rip and cross-cut saw; a circular band-saw; a wood surfacer; a jointer; two lathes; and a hand driven stone grinder. Besides the machinery there is an up-to-date tool room containing all the tools necessary for wood-working. In the first year the student makes a close acquaintance with the tools. As time passes on he may use the machinery occasionally. At certain times throughout the year each student is assigned a topic on a certain kind of wood, machinery or some subject connected with the work. At Christmas time he makes a durable and practical toy. In the second semester he constructs something more useful, such as taborets stands and footstools. He is also taught wood finishing. In the second year the student makes two large projects. He learns the more difficult constructions, learns to weave reed and uses the machinery for most of the work. In this course he has his choice of making any of the following articles: upholstered davenports, phonographs, writing desks, library tables, dining tables, cedar chests or sewing cabinets. In wood turning the student uses the speed lathes. Tool exercises give practice in getting some accustomed to the tools. After this preliminary work he may make circular frames, letter trays, ring stands, smoking stands or floor lamps. MECHANICAL DRAWING Mechanical drawing trains a boy for a position in the technical world. Three possible years are offered in this course. The first year is spent in teaching the student to use the instruments. He also becomes acquainted with several different kinds of drawings, about eighty or more plates being completed during the year. In the second year, after making several minor plates, the student makes the complete plans and drawings with tracings and blueprints for two common machines. In the third year, architectual drawing is offered. In this course the complete plans for a house and a garage are made. In these three classes combined there are about fifteen students. A course in drawing is also required in the auto mechanics class for the purpose of showing the boys how to make and read drawings or blueprints. There are also fifteen in this class making a total of thirty drawing students.

The class prints the “Hall Times,” the monthly magazine which won second place in its class at the Illinois State High School Press Association meet at Urbana, November 22, 1923. The class also prints letter heads for school stationery, tickets, programs and posters for games, entertainments and plays.

Many of our girls who expect to go into training after graduating find this course a great help. It is practically the same work that is taught during the first few months of hospital training. Having taken this course in high school the girl finds it quite easy while in training and can spend more time on the more difficult things that are not taught in the home nursing course. Even a girl who does not intend to become a nurse can profit much by home nursing or first aid. She can always use the knowledge of disinfectants, antiseptics, care of the sick room, treatment of broken bones and sprains, cuts, and the many other things that are taught in this subject. It is not every girl who has the opportunity to take ud such a course in high school, for every few schools teach it. At Hall it is taught by Mrs. Dyer, our school nurse and dean of the girls. —ILA WARNER ’24 ONE HUNDRED EIGHT K3SK]SK3SK]SK]SK3SK3SK3S[n3SK3S[n3SKlS[n]SK3Stn3SKlS[n3SK]S SMSKlSlX!SMSK3gK3SHSKlS[KiSQg.SHSCaSHS aSK]SMSK3SK3SKlSK]SK]SEX3SlXiSK3SK SKISKISKISraSISSKISDiIBHIS aSKISIXISraSKISKISDSSKISCaSKI HOME ECONOMICS Dietetics My daughter says that calories is awful stylish now.

Under the skillful direction of Miss Hill the Home Economics Department has grown considerably during the past year and shows prospects for greater development in the future. £ [Ml £ A SONNET ID £ Da £ DO £ Da £ Da £ DS £ Da Da Often as I sit in the Study Hall, I wonder what the future holds for me— What shall be my vocation, or my call— • Will I be a nurse and comfort the sick, Or a doctor and invent a new cure, That will ease some pain that gnaws to the quick, Or a social worker and help the poor?

I repeat it, ma’am, we need more! Does she think for a moment that we’d dare to show her the first or second copies of an exercise bristling with errors? No! it is paper that we wish!

I got very curious once, And hid behind the door But Mary quickly spied me— I didn’t hide there no more. Then I had to go to bed, But I didn’t stay, you bet, I crept down stairs as still as mice, Lest by Mary I’d be met. I’d always go the very next day, And tell it all to Will, He’d give me then a dollar or so, And tell me to keep still. I had lots of dollars then, It was the nicest game, And if you have a sister too, You ought to do the same.

Verily do we realize that our task could never have been accomplished without the ardent cooperation of the students and faculty. Due recognition of all would require more space than we are allotted. Therefore, we shall content ourselves with mentioning those who we feel have rendered most prominent service, expressing, however, our appreciation to all. First, our advertisers deserve our hearty thanks and patronage. But for them our “Hall Times” and “Hall Light” would have been impossible. Second, the following people merit mention for typing: Emma Faletti, Ella Matusevich, Stella Stenavich, Elizabeth Abrahams Pauline DuBois, Catherine Tarro and Sara Ro-senzweig. If upon turning through these pages, the reader should be able to catch a glimpse of the good times of our high school days, we would say unto him, “Reflect from this limited portrayal to the real days of Hall Township High and Vocational School, and thou wilt be in ecstasy.” Gratefully, The Literary and Art Staffs.

The trustees of an old cathedral in Belgium once decided to repair the vestry, so they employed an artist to touch up a large painting that had grown dingy by time. The painter did his work and presented his bill, amounting to $83.10 in our currency. The trustees refused to pay the bill unless the items were specified. The artist thereupon made a bill of particulars. Among the items charged were the following: Correcting the Ten Commandments____________________________$5.12 Putting new tail on the rooster of St. Peter________________2.20 Gilding wing of Guardian Angel_______________________________5.18 Renewing Heaven, adjusting the stars and cleaning up the moon— 7.14 Touching up Purgatory and restoring lost souls______________3.00 Brightening up the flames of Hell and putting new tail on Devil— 4.71 Decorating Noah’s Ark and putting a head on Shem____________3.30 Mending the shirt of Prodigal Son___________________________2.39 The bill was then paid without further protest.

Friends, Romans, countrymen! Lend me your ears; I will return them next Saturday. I come To bury Caesar, because the times are hard, And his folks can’t afford to hire an undertaker. Brutus has told you Caesar was ambitious: What does Brutus know about it? It is none of his funeral. Would that it were! Caesar was my friend, faithful and just to me; He loaned me five dollars once when I was in a pinch, And signed my petition for the post office. But Brutus says he was ambitious— Brutus should wipe off his chin. You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which thrice he did refuse, because it didn’t fit him. Was this in Caesar ambitious? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, Brutus is not only the biggest liar in the country But he is a horse thief of the deepest dye. Kind friends, sweet friends, I do noit wish to stir you up, But it looks like rain, so we’ll bury Caesar instead of praising him. 2S KJ g 1X1 CX3 HI g 1X1 3 H S D3 g fX3 E ta E DO E D3 Some sage remarked, “After man the Lord made woman and she’s g been after him ever since.” The class had been discussing certain Scotch words in “The Cotter’s Saturday Night.” Miss Thomas—“Consider this line ‘No mercenary bard his homage pays.’ What is the meaning of bard?” William Skimel—“Bird!” CXI E Da E Da E Da Miss Osmanson—“What is the abbreviation for boulevard?” Catherine T.—“Bvd.” g oa E Da s LOST—My appetite.
