A. C. (3 be posse MBODIED in the Honorary Activity Club, organized in 1924-1925, and just ending its third j-ear, are the four greatest virtues to possessed by any human. Namely, these are scholarship, character, service and leadership. Hav ing these qualities the Honorary Activity Club a high, clean character, is of most sendee 1o school, has the students of highest scholarship, and is today, as the name implies leading the affairs of Hall Township High Sschool.

Cup Won By Iiii.a McAlpine v Normal. III. 1926 State Champion Extemporaneous Speech Book I Scholarship XN opening this book, we give to you an idea of the first virtue of H. A. C. —Scholarship. Students of Hall Township, remember that even though you are an athlete, even though you are an actor, even though you are a musician, without a fair degree of scholarship, you cannot win. Scholarship means: that in every subject you study, you must have an average of at least B. This standard is not difficult to acquire. Any student doing his share of work can attain this mark. Not only is this valuable for members in H. A. C., but it is valuable for later life. Therefore, vre, the Honorary Activity Club, in publishing this book, stress scholarship, and we hope to make more students worthy of being called “Scholars” of Hall Township High School. PAGE FIFTEEN ARE YOU A SCHOLAR? Are you a scholar, in the truest sense? If you are not, you have no defense; Are you a student, or just a fake? If not, a success you’ll never make; Are you fulfilling, in every way, The purpose for which you are here today? Arc you learning your lessons aright? Or do you bluff along, with a losing tight ? Are you acquiring all the knowledge you can? For the desire to learn is the real test of man; If you are ambitious, persevering, and firm. Ignorance will soon be a helpless germ. If you broaden your mind, if you strengthen your soul. Then life’s hardest battles will be under control; Students of Hall, you can never slip If you are gifted with fight, and with scholarship. —+ Paarft OUR SCHOOL HOARD HE foundation of Mali rests on seven Who are wise, and true, and sure. Their task is great; their pay is none But their success will long endure. This Board of Hall is as sound as a rock Their choice of faculty is wise; And they must never fail The school affairs to supervise. As you look over their faces so sage You’ll know that their honor is high And we are privileged to have these men Represent us on this page. PAGE SEVENTEEN TILE IIALL LIGHT B. F. George J. C. SlTTERLY Wm. Wolfer George Thompson PRESIDENT J. T. Hight L. H. Luther CLERK Peter Blum John Wilson PAGE EIGHTEEN If you ever realize how successful you are, And wish to know the reason, Remember the faculty. If you ever wonder how you got good grades, And were able to make your credits, Remember the faculty. If you wonder why you loved your school, With all its drudgery, labor, and joys, Remember the faculty. If you’re ever stuck with some difficult problem, And look for someone to help you solve it, Remember the faculty. If you ever want some true staunch friends, That give you joy to see their smiles, Remember the faculty. If you ever have an inspiration of greatness, But are backward to express yourself, Remember the faculty. If there are people who treat you right, And give you a square deal whether wrong or right, Remember the faculty. For I tell you, students, there is nothing greater Than these men and women who compose the faculty, Their business is teaching, but they stop not there, For they strive to help you from evil’s snare; They’re a group of people with generous hearts, They work for you, with you, but never against you. So, in later life, if your thoughts roam back, To your high school days, that will ne’er return, And wish to find an example of goodness and right, Remember the faculty.

They have climbed to a great height on the ladder of scholarship. The names of seniors are very conspicuous on the honor roll, thus showing that they are to be considered in the ranks of scholarship as well as in athletics, dramatics, music, debate and other outside activities. Six members of this class are members of the National Honor Society. The underclassmen should use the record of this class as a goal and strive to go over the line. CLASS OFFICERS Vincent Doyle, Vice-President Leland Perkins, Sec’y-Treasurer William Stedman, President PAGE TWENTY-FIVE Near the end of every year, between five and eight students are chosen to represent Hall in the National Honor Society. Last year Maclean Brown and William Stedman were the Juniors chosen. This year those selected were, Lila McAlpine, Paul Repka, Amelia Barrowman, and Minnie Fcnoglio, seniors, and Joseph Sears and Frances Riva, juniors. To qualify for the National Honor Society, one must be of service to the school, have a good character, and have high scholarship. Only those who rank in the upper one-fourth of their class in scholarship are eligible. Freshmen and Sophomores are not eligible but it should be a goal for them to start working for while they are in the lower classes.

Popularity contests have been featured. This year, the senior girl and senior boy who have been of most service to the school were chosen. The honors were given to Lila McAlpine and William Stedman. Lila has not been at Hall for her full course. During the time she has been here she has undoubtedly done more than any other girl of the school. She was a member of the glee club, chorus, and quartette. She played in the orchestra and played for all the music contests. Last year she won first place at the state extempore meet. This year she was on the debating, team. She has been on the stage in several plays. She has worked on both the “Times” and “Light” staffs. Besides being in the local honor club she is a member of the National Honor Society. William Stedman was the boy chosen. He is president of the senior class and of the honor club, editor of the Hall Light and last year was made a member of the National Honor Society. He was on the football team the last two years. Since his second year he has played a clarinet in the band. He is also on the Hall Times Staff. Last year “Bill” represented Hall in the county literary meet in the boys’ humorous reading. Tie has appeared in several plays during his high school course. Others ranked high in service were Louis Ruppert and Paul Repka. PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN Agnes Shaw Valedictorian Stacia Mazaika Salutatorian Agnes Shaw was awarded the Valedictorian for 1927 with an average of ninety-one and six-tenths per cent for her term of four years at Hall, while Stacia Mazaika received Salutatorian with an average of ninety and nine-tenths per cent for four years at Hall. Lila McAlpine, Ralph Colver, and Ramona Klingberg, respectively, had the highest averages in scholastic standing, but part of their work was completed in other schools than Hall, which made them ineligible for either the Valedictorian or Salutatorian.

A principle so necessary and so beneficial to the lives of young men and women is rightly included in the Honor Club, for it provides something to strive for and something to attain. This is a natural power, like light and heat, and all nature co-operates with it. The reason why we feel one man’s presence and do not feel another’s is because one has character and the other has not. Men of character like to hear of their faults, the other class do not; they worship themselves. Character is nature in the highest form. It is no use to ape it or to contend with it. for character will foil all emulation. If we cannot attain it at a bound, we can at least do it homage, and some day we may be indulged by the presence of this honored guest.

Ralph Colver OUR SENIOR CLASS Four years ago there came a class Into the corridors of Hall, How nice and swift the years do pass And now we ’re seniors all. ’Tis many a friend we leave behind, As we enter the world to-day; ’Tis many a teacher good and kind, That has helped us on our way. To classmates whom we love to see, We give our last farewell; For miles apart our roads may be, And divided by many a dell. Since we were freshies one and all, In studies we’ve excelled; From year to year we’ve worked at Hall, And learned our lessons well. In sports we’ve had the bravest That were ever known to live; And many a school that knows us, To them will honor give. At our head is Captain Pozzi, With a grin and smile for all; Then comes sturdy John Glovetski, And fighting Vincent Doyle. Now here is William Stedman, Who tossed the ball behind Into the hands of waiting Ruppert, PAGE FORTY THE HALL LIGHT Who towards a touchdown was inclined. And then also in basketball, Our heroes one and all; ’Twas willing Baxter and Montagnoli Who answered every call. At the first sign of the warmer day, The track men sallied forth; To take the banner so upheld., And bear the burning torch. ’Twas willing Captain John Messaglia, That showed his boys the game; ’Twas Tersavich. Brown and Repka, Who from the seniors came. Four from six of the Debating Team, Were seniors bright and learned; Tillie, Lila, Schwab and Colver, With the district championship returned. And in our class were girls who sang, To win their way to fame; Leola, Eva, Cele and Barrowman, To these this honor came. While in our class were musicians, Performers on drum and snare; With cornets, clarinets, and violins, Players of notes so rare, Anton and Minnie in the Orchestra, Upheld their place so well; Michael, Perkins, Spina and Tiemann, Have never been excelled. In taking down dictation, Ruth Ziel showed great speed; With Latham, Shaw and Stacia, We were always in the lead. On the lettered keys of the typewriter, The seniors were not slow; For Mona, Milouski, and Norberg, Were always raring to go. When it came to the automobile With parts so different and many, Even the slightest bearing knock AVas found by Kinkin, Corsine and Henry. I see also in the future A dancer rich and famous Oh yes, ’tis sprightly Doris Schurtz PAGE FORTY-ONE THE IIALL LIGHT Who came from here among us. In a little white lab. under the hill Barrowman and Manning labor, To make the world a happier place For generations to come later. We travel many miles to see Men of world-wide learning. And Seniors they turn out to be Arthur, Winton and Goering. ’Tis the class of seven and twenty Whose deeds will long survive, Seniors stored up with knowledge aplenty Who, for honor in the world now strive. So farewell to all who have been so kind As to help us one and all, Farewell to those we leave behind Farewell to dear old Hall. Paul Repka CLASS HISTORY Back in September, 1923, you, our parents, teachers, and friends, watched a light-hearted freshman class begin its high school training. Would we make good? The answer meant much to you—and to us, though we didn’t take life very seriously at that time. Since then, thanks to the opportunity you have given us, our viewpoint on life, and our ability to meet life’s problems, to carry on with you the work of this community, have great changed. Our real class history is the story of this change. It is more vital than the fun and social events, the games and athletics that have helped keep our school in the van, perhaps even more significant than the classroom training during the whole four years of our high school course. In a very real sense, a partnership was formed four years ago. The community, through the school, furnished a plant, books, and educational equipment and organization. The instructors furnished the leadership, encouraged us to do our best, both in our school work and in worth-while school activities, made our education personal, and helped us master the harder spots in our lessons. Of course, our parents were aggressive, stimulating partners in the undertaking. “Get your education while you have the opportunity.” — “How are your grades?” — “Better stay home tonight and work on your algebra.” — “Will you make the team this year?” These were constant urges to us to do our best. We were the junior partners — we still are, at the ending of the partnership. However, we trust you find that the four-square partnership to educate your junior partners has been worth-while. At this, the end of the partner- PAGE FORTY-TWO THE HALL LIGHT ship, it seems fitting that we appraise the results attained; that we give an accounting of the assets acquired. These include: p’irst, useful knowledge than can be applied to good account in home or business. Second, minds that have been trained to face new facts squarely, to study, to analyze, and plan, not to jump hastily at conclusions. Third, appreciation of the changing business, cultural, and social life of today. We realize that we must keep on studying, be progressive, in the years that lie ahead, that we may capitalize and add to the education you have already made possible. Fourth, appreciation of the need of team-work and co-operation to bring success either at home or in business. Fifth, loyalty to America, and our American ideals and institutions, which make this the best country in the world in which to live. In all honesty and modesty, we feel sure you will agree that our high school training has developed these characteristics, and that they are worthwhile. As we look back over four short years, we can see how they have developed. In our freshman year, we had “speed, but little control.” For leaders of a class of eighty, James Johnston was chosen president, Ralph Schwab, vice-president, and Elvio Pozzi, secretary-treasurer. We were full of vim and had a surplus of energy, but much of it was wasted on pranks of one kind or another. We were a lively crowd to be sure, but before June came, we had toned down a little. We found in reviewing the first year at Ilall, that we had taken part in the extra-athletic, musical, and dramatic activities. Hall was well represented by members of our freshman class in football, basketball, and track. It was at this time that our stellar athletes started their career along this line. The girls also took active part in basketball. Many of the members of the band and orchestra were from our class. The girls of the class of ’27 had entered the Glee Club and Chorus. The Hall Times and Annual found some of our other members—the leading staff representatives of the Hall limes and Annual of today. Students of this class proved even in this early stage that they had the ability to act. They began to appear in plays. Tn debating, we found members of our class taking part in the inter-class debates. Ralph Schwab at this early time showed his ability as a debater and car lied it on to his final year—a success. To finish up a successful year, we held a party. A year of work and study, of discipline, and of the influence and example of the older students, was having its effect. Sixty-eight members of the class of eighty returned to resume their studies the following year. It was this year—our sophomore year, that we first tasted of responsibility. Perhaps we over-did it a bit but no one ever accused us of lar k ol c neigy or persistence. Our football star, Elvio Pozzi, was elected president, the musical wizard, Maclean Brown, vice-president, and our talented PAGE FORTY-THREE THE HALE LIGHT dancer, Doris Schurtz, secretary-treasurer. Ralph Schwab was at this time offered the position of cheer-leader. The sophomore girls starred this year in athletics and won the inter-class championship in basketball. Tbe following summer, a number of us worked steadily—we were developing self reliance. By our junior year we found that our class had decreased to forty-two. We began our third year’s work urged on by a new superintendent—Mr. Sullivan. We were fortunate indeed, to have as a new class mate, Lila McAlpine. Later in the year she proved her ability as a speaker at the state meet and brought back to Hall a silver loving cup. New leaders were chosen—Minnie Fenoglio, president, Louis Ruppert, vice president, and Elvio Pozzi, secretary-treasurer. We were beginning to lead instead of follow. Many made teams, succeeded in debating or musical activities or in other class matters. Anton Ferrari, Paul Repka, John Messaglia. Arthur Orlandini and Maclean Brown showed what skill could be managed in track, while Elvio Pozzi, captain elect for ’26, again showed his ability as a football star playing the position of half back on the varsity. William Stedman and Louis Ruppert were also members of that team. In basketball, Charles Montagnoli and James Johnston, captain elect for ’26, starred. In the second basketball team were found John Messaglia, Stanley Baxter, Louis Ruppert and William Stedman. The girls again won the inter-class championship in basketball. Hazel Grivetti, Frances Latham, Ruth Ziel and Edith MacDonald were chosen to represent Hall’s commercial department at the district meet. “The Intimate Strangers” was chosen as the junior play, and the junior cast really showed what could be done. They began to appear in other plays given during the year. The Honorary Activity Club became larger—members of our class were joining it. For the National Honor Society. Maclean Brown and William Stedman were chosen, during their junior year. These tastes of success naturally urged us to do more. More-over, increasing practical experience enabled us to see the “why-and-wherefore” of our schooling—that we were learning things that would serve us well all the rest of our lives. This past year we chose William Stedman as class leader with Vincent Doyle and Leland Perkins assisting him. Five students had chosen Hall as the school to finish their high school career—Ralph Colver, Ramona Klingberg, Gildo Spina, Julio Corsini and Vincent Doyle. In athletics, our' members excelled. Captain Pozzi led the varsity football squad who won the the Illinois Valley Championship for 1926. In basketball the members of our class still held the positions of good athletes. James Johnson, captain elect for ’26 failed to return to school this year. Charles Montagnoli, Arthur Orlandini, Elvio Pozzio and John Messaglia were our senior players. These boys helped win the sportsmanship cup at the county basketball meet. In debating, Lila McAlpine, Ralph Schwab, Ralph Colver and Tillie Sacks, proved their skill. In music and dramatics, members of this class have anticipated. Students who PAGE FORTY-FOUR THE IIAEE LIGHT have been chosen for the National Honor Society were from this class—Lila McAlpine, Paul Repka, Minnie Fenoglio, Amelia Barrowman. We have realized that as seniors we were l'eaders among the student body. We do not say that we have been by any means perfect examples, far from it, but we have realized that the younger students have followed our lead, have looked up to us, and we trust that in this respect, also, you will feel that we have done our part. We have been seeing, more clearly still, that education is not a goal in itself, but an aid and a preparation that will help mightily in making a success in life. Tonight, as the graduating senior- class, we are leaving this partnership. Some are leaving for years of college; others will rejoin it, to take a community interest in what goes on within these walls. As our high school days have drawn to a close, we have been sorry. We have close friendships, not only among ourselves, but with members of the faculty who have taught us, and coached us in our various teams. Moreover, along with our studies, we have had many a good time that we’ll remember all the rest of our lives. To know that some of these ties are to be broken brings real regret. On the other hand, ahead of us lies either college or the immediate beginning of real, lionest-to-goodnes work—an opportunity to make good, in either case. We shall be starting as freshmen in the School of Life, but with every, advantage, thanks to the partnership of the last four years. For the class of 1927, I thank you for shaping and molding our class history. May the future of every one of us be as joyous and as inspiring as have been the years of our happy partnership that now comes to an end. Minnie Fenoglio VALEDICTORY The hardest word in English to utter is good-bye. Even translating it into Latin and then back into English, and so getting the word, “Valedictory,” makes it no easier. It means good-bye, just the same. Tonight, it means goodbye to four years of close association with each other, students and faculty. To me has been given the honor of saying farewell for the class of 1927, of giving good-bye, in the names of my classmates, to the persons and things that mean so much to us all. Few of us will be so fortunate as ever to associate again with a group of people like our respected and beloved faculty. They have worked over us and read our papers and asked us questions and led us along the path to knowledge. Ihey have set us an example of cheerfulness; they have slaved to help us make good; they have inspired us to most of the ideals we have. In saying good-bye to them, we are parting with the most effective single force in our li es today. It is with much more than gratitude that we must say thank you. and good-bye. PAGE FORTY-FIVE THE HALL LIGHT To the school board too, who, acting for the whole people, have made this class possible, we extend our sincere thanks, and say good-bye. It seems vei-y strange to b saying farewell to our schoolmates. This time last year we were sitting where you now are, and the class of 1926 was where we are, and perhaps they felt just as we do now. We are parting, too, with our last experience in being taught. So far, the things in our studies that we did not understand have been explained to us, and we have had that to help us over the difficult places; but we have been told that employers do not teach you that way when you go to work for them. Those of us who are going to college have been told that we shall have to teach ourselves much more than we have ever done in the past. It is hard to define the thing which we find it hardest to part with — the associations, perhaps though one never parts with associations, strictly speaking. Perhaps what we mean is the scene of those associations. Perhaps it’s the little, but joyous, incidents from day to day that made up the environment that lias surrounded these glorious years. Parting would indeed be an unendurable thought if there were no plans for the future, no idea of what we are going to do with the things we have learned. Some of the things that we are going to do may be as yet unguessed. At all events, unless we forget the things we have been told during the past four years, we arc going to work hard. We understand that that is of prime importance. Whatever may be the vocations we follow, we know full well that we must work, or else, all our ambitions, all our aspirations come to naught. It is with a promise to do the very best we can at all times that we must say good-bye to our Faculty, our Trustees, our Fell'ow-Schoolmates. As for the incidents of our everyday school lives, they will soon no longer be incidents, but the pleasantest of associations, to which we would not say farewell, if we could. Agnes Shaw SALUTATORY The honor of bidding you welcome is one of which we' are justly proud; and we are deeply sensible of the honor that you do us in coming to encourage us at this important moment in our lives. The memory of your presence on this occasion will indeed live brightly in our hearts in the years to come. Most of us in this class of 1927 arc very much like the army captain, who always fought best at the head of his company. Although there are no captains, as yet, among our number, we regard you as our company, and so we we shall fight the better, knowing that you are watching us. We feel that, by being privileged to graduate from this High School, we have become marked for perhaps a bit more attention than would otherwise be given us. We know that you expect us to justify the pains that you have taken to bring us thus far; and so we bid you welcome, not only for what you have done for us in the PAGE FORTY-SIX THE HALL LIGHT —sap past, but because of the inspiration that we hope to gain from the recollection of this occasion in the future. By the very fact of appearing here tonight, however, we are doing more than greeting our friends and wellwishers. We are facing new duties and responsibilities, and we must welcome them, too. We do welcome them; we welcome the opportunities that lie just ahead of us; we welcome the chance to take our places as citizens and perhaps, as more earnest workers than Ave have been in the past. W realize full well that we are now about to learn what real work means. It is going to take a good while, perhaps, for us to perceive just how the things that we have learned in school apply to conditions in the world. Doubtless we are going to think at times that things do not quite work out as Ave have been, taught they would, and it is then that we shall need your advice and encouragement. We do not want to lose the ideals that avc have gained here. We welcome the opportunity to go on and learn the things that lie ahead of us. Some of us may go on to college, others of us Avill welcome the opportunity to enter the business world; many of our feminine members will doubtless spend most of their lives demonstrating domestic sciences — and probably will be glad to Avelcome the opportunity! Those of us avIio are going into industries will soon be applying what we have learned of chemistry and physics, as avc learn the intricate operations of shop and laboratory and factory. I think that most of us, however, the just now a little puzzled to knoAv how Ave can best fit into our neAV world, and make good there. We are eager for progress, but we have not yet learned to evaluate, from a Avorl'dly point of view, the things that Ave have learned. Some things seem to be more important at one time than another, to put it rather broadly. We must co-ordinate our abilities, place Aralues on them, and find out how they are related to the realities Ave must face. These Aralues have been placed before by our parents: and teachers. But what avc Avant to do now is to be our own judges and place our own values. Experience is the best teacher and Ave hope through these experiences to reach the goal of success. All our Avork before has been planned for us and for our best but iioav it is up to us to plan our Avork and carry out these plans. We know that you have given us a good foundation for our work in the big Avide world. And Ave want to prove it to you that avc can use this foundation as a starting point for bigger and better things. We know that avc are of little importance in the Avorld today but that is not what we want to be or Avill be in the future. We the class of ’27 want to thank you, dear parents and teachers, for the time and help you have given us. A ou haAre taught us to think for ourselves and we expect to do this on through life and expect victory. A e the class of 1927 are taking it to heart. We welcome the opportun- PAGE FORTY-SEVEN THE HALL LIGHT ities before us, but even more we welcome you who are going to help us take advantage of them. We want and need your advice, your encouragement, your experience, your wisdom, in the great battle of life that is just ahead, and so, with all our hearts, we greet you! Stacia Mazaika SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY (Mystic Myra, a witch, is stooping over a fire on which is a black kettle. As she stirs it, she mutters strange words.) Double, double, toil and trouble, Life is but an empty bubble. From the past we all advanced To the ages yet to come, Life is but a fleeting dream. Things are never what they seem. Double-double, toil and trouble; Life is but an empty bubble.” (There is a knock and a young lad appears. His appearance is that of a weary traveler.) M. Who comes here? J. A friend, may I come in? M. Yes. (J. enters.) Who are you? J. Oh that doesn’t matter. I represent the 1927 class of H. T. II. S. We have heard of the marvelous Mystic Myra who can reveal the future and they have sent me to your dwelling place to ask you to prophecy as to their future. M. Didn’t you have a hard time finding me? J. Yes, I did. Does not my appearance indicate that? Look at my clothes from crawling through the briers. My hat is in the bottom of a gulch. All that’s left of me is my appetite and this package with photographs of my classmates and their autographs. M. And what does Mystic Myra get for all her trouble, I pray? J. Oh, she’ll get all1 that’s coming to her and maybe more. M. Ah! now we are talking business. J. Yes. Now here is J. Barrowman. Where will he be ten years from now? M. (mumbling to herself ‘‘boil, boil, boil, etc.) Ah! I see a knife. A deadly pistol, gold chests of treasure, blue water .... a ferocious looking man is standing over another with upraised blade..... Ah! ... I see it all now. Your friend is posing at Captain Kidd for a silverware ad. J. Oee! and Jim always said he was going to be a concrete mixer. See what you can make out of this one. This is Hazel Grivetti. M. (business) Silence. Ten years from now Hazel will be a distinguished lady PAGE FORTY-EIGHT THE HALL LIGHT inventor. Now I see here,— she is working on an errorless typewriter. Beside her is her faithful worker, but I can’t make out who she is. She is very pretty and very fond of Hazel. J. Oh that must be Ruth Ziel. They’re always together. Let’s see who is next. Here take two at once. Let’s see what is going to happen to them. M. (business) Boil harder and reveal tlie future to your humble servant. Oh, mighty one! Ah, it boils. In its inky blackness, 1 see a light, — dazzling it is. Throngs of gorgeously dressed people — a beautiful building — One of this throng is a noted surgeon. 1 can tell by his hands. They are so delicate and sensitive. His eyes as well as all others are centered on a stage upon which a beautiful girl is thrilling all with her toe dancing. The music plays faster and faster and as it ceases, the young surgeon rises and casts a bouquet of flowers at the dancer’s feet. Then — J-. Ha! Ha! I knew it. Those pictures belonged to Doris Shurtz and Bill Goering. M. Give me another one quick. My charms are working unusually well tonight. (Takes another picture.) Ah! Look my boy. Do you see what I see? J. I see nothing but a mess of black pottage. M. You have not charms like Mystic Myra. See my boy, it is a circus. Can’t you see the tents flapping in fhe wind. Look, there is a lady lifting a heavy weight and balancing it in one hand. See how heavy it is and how her muscles stand out as she lifts it? My boy, she is a strong lady in a circus. J. Jumping Grasshoppers! Who would believe that Edith MacDonald would ever become a strong lady in a circus. Here’s Art Orlandini. What is to become of him? M. Just a moment. This one is easy. These bubbles reveal a dignified gentleman. He wears brass buttons and a star. Yes, he is head of the police force at Seatonville. J. Wait until the class hears that. Poor Art. M. (Taking another picture. ) What a peculiar smell this has. I can’t make it out. A lady is preaching to a bunch of disreputable characters but I can’t make out what she is saying. Boil, boil, boil harder. Ah, Agnes Shaw is preaching temperance in Dalzell. At her side is John Glovetski waiting to play the closing hymn. J. Well, I’m not surprised at that, but this ought to be good. This belongs to Vincent Doyle. M. It is a moonlight night in Mexico. A young man is playing a guitar to his lady love who stands above him on a sheltered balcony. She is a beautiful dark-eyed Mexican senorita and as he listens, she tosses her lover a rose. He presses it to his lips and — J. Stop! Stop! Can’t you see I’m gasping now? Here, take this one: Leola PAGE FORTY-NINE THE HALL LIGHT Fenwick was always rather quiet and her prophecy will probably be a little milder and maybe I can get my breath. M. A sweet little lady is putting supper on the table. As she does so, her husband enters, he is small, light-haired and pleasant looking. They seem to be very happy. J. Leola Fenwick and Winston Cowell married! Say is this thing on the level? M. Ab, Mystic Myra sees all, knows all, and tells all. She never fails. J. Well, I believe you. Let us go on. Here’s Margaret Blum and Mona K. Their destinies ought to be somewhat similar. They’re always'together. M. They are friends of the sick. They both are nurses in a large hospital in Chicago. J. See this girl Minnie F. I’ll bet she is to be an artist. See if I’m not right. M. It is bewildering. I can’t see. There is so much noise and confusion, loud talking, dance music, jingling of glasses. Yet over it all there is something beautiful. It is getting clearer now. It is a party — a young and beautiful girl dressed in beautiful clothes and jewelry is entertaining at her New York mansion. A crowd of young men surround her: each one begging for a dance. It is easy to see who is the “belle” of the occasion. J. I knew Minnie never had those looks for nothing. Here’s Stacia and Ralph Colver — some more of our second period English class. M. This one is very clear. Stacia and Ralph are boarding a large steamer. They are very happy. It seems that there is something between them — a common bond of some sort. Now, I have it. They are on a tour of the Fiji Islands to convert the heathen. Rumor has it that there is soon to be a stronger bond between them. J. That is a knockout. Now tell me something thrilling about Louis Ruppert. He is the sheik of the class, you know. M. Louis will be — will be — a — a — will be — a — a will be a floor walker in a ladies department store. Who is next? Give it to me quick. J. Here it is. M. As near as I can make out Gerard Kinkin is to be a professor of Latin in a college. His very dear friend, Gildo Spina is to be famous as an author: his masterpiece is “How to keep from getting bald.” J. I’m getting used to surprises. Go on. M. This gii'l has something thrilling in store. I can see her slender figure stepping gently — oh so gently — her slender body with its pink spangles sparkling in the sun — holding her audience spellbound while she cleverly balances herself on a tightrope stretched from the Larkin to the Wool-worth building. J. Cecelia can have all of those thrills that she wants. None for me! M. Is this Leland Perkins? Ten years from now Mr. Perkins will be living comfortably on a fortune made as a painless dentist. Grateful customers have elected him mayor of Spring Valley. PAGE FIFTY THE HALL LIGHT J. Here is a good looking fellow. What have you got for him? M. This one is interesting. The water is troubled. Much is at stake. Men are quarreling. They hail from north, south, east and west. Their words are sharp. Suddenly a young man rises, speaks gently to the turbulent mass. There is silence. Hush! Mac. Brown is delivering a speech to Congress. J. Take a girl this time. Here is a pretty little girl. M. Hear that noise. It is like a lot of magpies, chattering to themselves — and yet — what can it be? It gets lounder and louder. Ah! Now I have discovered. It is someone talking. It is a newspaper society reporter for the Spring Valley Gazette. J. Are you sure that was Amelia’s picture ? By gum it was. But who was she talking to? M. Oh she was talking to Mrs. William Stedman, wife of the millionaire oil man. J. Mrs. W. Stedman? Why who did Bill marry? M. Her name was formerly Eva Yuotsnukis. J. I can guess what this one will be. M. Ah — what brawny arms and muscles! What manly build — I see him as he comes up from the beach carrying the limp form of a drowning maiden. As they reach the shore, the maiden throwing her arms about his neck, cries out, “My hero.” Your sturdy football captain is no other than a life guard at Coney Island beach. J. I wonder how it happened. M. These three Julio Corsini, Cliff Michaels and Martin Manning have formed an alliance. They are working on a grafting idea that will mean much to the world. So far they have not succeeded in growing roses without thorns. J. Not so bad at that. M. You; have in your class someone who will be very famous. Some of his works will be classed with Shakespeare’s. Those brown eyes are sparkling with genius. J. Brown eyes. Say that is Paul Repka isn’t it? Say where is Anton F.? lie ought to be here some place. M. Hear that clanging and banging? That is modern music. Anton F. is directing his orchestra while the dancers applaud his “hot” numbers. Seated near him is a talented juggler, vaudeville artist and musician nicknamed “the guy who made the saxaphone talk.” Stanley Baxter is a valuable addition to any orchestra. J. Now what do you think will become of this girl? M. Tillie Sacks will become famous as a broadcaster of bed time stories to the children. Her dramatic ability is soon to carry her far into the realms of fame. J. Good old “Hugs” next. I suppose he will make a fortune on his old Ford. THE HALL LIGHT M. Not quite so pleasant at that. It is 3 o’clock on a winter night. His wife sleeps soundly on. There are sounds of dissention in the air, but we will not blame them on Hugo. J. Here is a girl that was always very quiet but I believe she could have said a lot if she bad been called on to. M. Those bewitching eyes of Violet Milouski are taking the place of Pola Negri on the silver sheet. It is rumored that she is soon to marry the Count of Bologna from Bulgaria. J. What do you think of thisf black-haired sheik? M. Charles Montagnoli has a future in store for him in the mangement of the chain of Kroger stores. Already he has accumulated quite a fortune and at anytime of the day or night may be seen sporting around in his latest sport model airplane. M. (taking another picture.) These two, Bill Tersavitch and Ralph Schwab are joint editors of the Chicago Tribune. Henry Terando, their chief business manager is faring quite well at present and the three of them are making plans for a tour of Europe. J. What do you think of this blonde? M. Oh Lila will be featured in the movies. Her greatest success will be in “Susie of the Movies” or as better known “Susie of Sioux City.” J. We are getting close to the end. What do you see in your kettle in regard to these other two blondes? M. One of them is at the head of the Ziegfiefd Follies. Her tiny twinkling feet have earned for her the title of “The dancing midget.” Her baby face and golden curls are the talk of New York and her name is in electric lights along Broadway. However, success has not turned her head and she still goes by the name of Frances Latham despite the entreaties of her managers. Margaret Norberg is no longer the shy little girl she appears to be in this picture. I see her now. She is hostess at a large party in which are many noted personages. Her husband is engaged in a confidential talk with Mr. John Messaglia who is now head of the society for the “Uplift of the African Pygmies.” His heart and soul are devoted to this work which is so very important to the future welfare of the dear little pygmies.

Not only in scholarship are the juniors high, but also in other things. They were second in the Hall Times subscription contest and they won the Interclass basketball tournament. They have shown that they are scholars; the honor roll has many junior names on it, and the National Honor Society claims two members of the class. Thus, you see that the class of ’28, an unusually small class, ranks exceedingly high. Model yourself after it and grow with the class of ’28. CLASS OFFICERS Adam Bernardi .... ........

These were the renowned freshies of twenty-eight. Being very, ambitious, they at once elected officers for their class. Ariel Mattioda was elected president ; Beatrice De Fillippi, vice-president, and Frances Riva, secretary-treasurer. Then, as the months rolled by. they were joined by new allies, the sub-freshman group. The class was ably sponsored by Miss Falkin, who proceeded to make them as self-reliant as possible. They accomplished little that year, but left with a strong resolution to be a better class the next. year. Three months roll by swiftly while one is looking forward to brighter prospects, and again we saw these students, not so timid, for they had climbed into higher ranks, and now were sophomores. That year, John Kalman was elected president, Ariel Mattioda, vice-president, and Sadie Steffen, Secretary-Treasurer. They sta rted out strong in their sophomore year coming within one game of winning the Interclass basketball championship. They made an unusually good showing in each of the school events that year. They were sponsored by Mi-. Ray, who helped them a great deal. The next year we found some of our classmates missing. Among these were Josephine Sekreski. John Kalman, Peter Brusock, and Florence Ponsetto. This year, Adam Bernardi was elected president, Stanley Hurst offiieiated as vice-president, and Louis Dieci was chosen secretary-treasurer. The class started with one-hundred percent in the Hall Times subscription contest. Then they won the Interclass basketball championship. The Junior Play, entitled “The Whole Town’s Talking,” which was presented May 3, was one of the best plays that year. Miss Hoy gave all of her efforts to the play, and the results were easily noticed. They participated in every school event and made an excellent showing in all of the sports. They contributed much toward winning the Illinois Valley Football Championship, having four men on the team. They also did much toward winning the sportsmanship trophy and third place in the Bureau County Basketball tournament, having two men on the team. The class was sponsored by Mr. Toney who made it as ambitious and as enthusiastic as it was. They are now fully prepared to withstand the hard knocks of their final year.

They have continued this good work, and by the time they arc seniors they will probably claim honors in athletics, music and scholarship. The sophomores, in proportion to the size of the class, have not been highly represented in the H. A. C., but as they are a hard working, persevering class they should win out eventually. From such a point of view, their later life at Hall should ho successful. The H. A. ('. hopes to claim more of its members in the future. CLASS OFFICERS Victor Ferrari ..........

PAGE SIXTY THE HALT, LIGHT CLASS HISTORY The time came when the good ship “H. T. H. S.” was to start its journey over the “Sea of Knowledge” leaving the shores of “Idleness” far behind. There were four decks on our ship, each representing a class of school. We, the freshies, were placed on the first deck and were snubbed and made fun of by all the upper crew. But we seemed to endure it all patiently waiting for the time when we could take revenge. The first really great business we did was to choose officers, as did every class on deck. Margaret Salmon was chosen captain and Harold Savio and Jack Mazaika first and second mates. And so we started off. The first Island we stopped at was “Work.” On the way to this Island we had a great storm, and we are sorry to say, some of our crew, unable to undergo the hardships, either became seasick and fell overboard oij else gave up all hope of reaching their destination, and jumped into the great sea and swam back to shore. We were very shy and bashful, and would have crawled into a comer and hid our faces if we were called upon to makd a speech in assembly. We had a few men though who were brave and bold and when we stopped at this Island they managed to go out and mix with the older men who were playing football. Can you imagine the result when one of these men made the team? We won many honors on that ship despite the fact that we were looked down upon as “poor little green Freshies.” Soon we left this great Island of “Work” and went into the city of “Vacation” where we disembarked for three months and enjoyed the time of our young lives. In the midst of our enjoyment, one day we saw our old ship coming into the harbor and we knew our days at “Vacation” were over. We climbed onto the ship one by one, this time not on the lower deck but up to the second, or sophomore, deck. Now we were all ready to tease and torment the “Freshies” down below, but instead of that we took pity on them and found ourselves ready and willing to help them in any way we could. Our class this year was wider awake than ever and each member indulged in some activity. Before many weeks we chose new officers namely, captain, Harold Savio, first mate Victor Ferrari and Raymond Barto, second mate. During our freshman year the boys carried away nearly all the honors but this year the girls stepped up and showed their colors. We had one girl who took part in every play, displaying her dramatic ability like a born actress. Then we also had one who made the debate team thereby showing the upper classes that a sophomore could debate as well as any junior or senior. We also had our share of the musical honors, for a number of sophomore girls were chosen for the glee club contest and one girl was even a member' of the girls’ quartette. As this year is coming to a close T am sure we have had our share of good times. After going over the “Waves of Experience,” which we all enjoyed. I am quite sure we can go up to the junior deck with very little trouble. PAGE SIXTY-ONE The freshmen are last in this book of Scholarship, but in scholarship itself, the beginners must be ranked first. It is in the first stage of their high school course that determines their achievement. Hard work in the first year will give the start that ends in glory. In accordance with their large class the freshmen rank unusually high in scholarship, which promises distinction for them in their ensuing years.

Martinkus (Capt.-Elect), A. Bernardi, J. Mazaika, A. Yakas, E. Pozzi (Captain). PAGE SIXTY-EIGHT THE HALL LIGHT Captain Pozzi. quarterback “Flucky,” Captain of the All-Conference Team, and selected by several sport writers for All-State honors, proved to be a nemesis to all of Hall’s opponents. His ability to direct a team, throw and receive forward passes, catch punts with uncanny accuracy, and carry the ball through the opponents entire team made him one of the outstanding players in the state, and gained for him the title “The Red Grange of the Illinois Valley.’’ Adolph Yakus. guard “Red” was a great asset to the defensive power of the Hall line, due to the fact that he was able to break through the oppents forward wall and down the man with the ball before he got started. He was also an expert at pulling out of the line and running interference for the Hall ball toters. The “Fighting Red Head” is only a Junior and was selected as an all-conference guard as a result of his work the past season. Hall followers have a right to look for great things from him next year. Anton Ferrari, end “Skinney,” although playing his first year of football, proved that he was capable of upholding his end of the game, and could always be relied upon to “come through.” He was a very steady player and took great delight in stopping the opponents before they got started. John Mazaika. tackle “Jack,” the “Iron Horse” of the Red and White line, always made it tough for the men playing against him. His vicious charging and tackling was the downfall of many of his opponents, and caused him to be feared by those who had to play against him. Although only a sophomore, Jack was chosen on the All-Conference team and should be a bulwark of strength next year. J. Martinkus. halfback “Nigger Jim” proved to be one of the essential cogs in the Hall machine, for it was generally up to him to help take the opposition off their feet in order to give his teammates a chance to advance the ball. Besides this, he was a stone wall on defense and helped to make it tough for the opposition whenever they tried to threaten the Hall goal line. He will be back to help put Hall in the 1927 “Hall of Fame.” PAGE SIXTY-NINE ✓ THE HALL LIGHT Anton Martinkus. halfback “Carpy,” Captain-elect ’27, and an all-conference man, was one of the outstanding triple threat stars in high school football. Whenever Hall seemed to be in danger, Carpy could always be relied upon either to kick, pass, or carry the ball into safei territory. He is a hard worker and should make a great leader for the 1927 team. Aldo Monterastelli. center “Dac,” besides being an accurate and reliable passer of the ball, did his share in charging the opponents and opening up holes for the backfield to carry the ball through. Although being outweighed by every man playing against him, he always fought his opponents off their feet and proved that fight and determination will go a long way toward helping a man “corns out on top.” Aldo is only a sophomore and undoubtedly will be back with the same fight and determination in 1927. John Glovetski. guard “Gatsy” developed as the season wore on and proved to be one of Hall’s most consistent and stellar linesmen. Few were the opponents that were able to fool him, and when it came to fighting, John always was at the head of his class. He was also a good kicker, and with Mazaika shared the honor of “kicking-off” the ball for Hall. James Spalione. fullback “Spuds” not only proved to be a hard hitting terror on offense, but took great delight in cracking the opponents when they attempted to carry the ball. He was also a “steam roller” when running interference, and helped to clear the way for the man carrying the ball. “Spuds” will be back next year, and should do a lot toward making the 1927 team a success. William Stedman. center “Bill” could be called upon to play any position in the line and would always put up an excellent game. He was a real fighter and a constant menace to his opponents and, in addition, helped to keep up the courage and enthusiasm of his own men. PAGE SEVENTY THE HALL LIGHT Adam Barnardi. end “Snake” developed into a high class end as the season progressed, and was chosen as a member of the all-conference team. He was exceptionally clever at sifting through the opponent’s interference and tackling the ball carrier before any gain had been made. He will be back next year to continue his good work for Hall. Joseph Vasilouski. tackle “Smiling Joe” was a great hand at breaking through and mussing up the opponent’s interference, and also took great delight in blocking punts. These factors together with his ability to run interference made him a very valuable man to the team. This was Joe’s first year at the game and he should contribute a lot toward a fighting team next season. Vince Doyle, end “Bish” could be relied upon to give all he had when sent into the game, and was able to play either end very well. He always played a steady game and was able to keep cool at all times. Arthur Hurst, guard “Ballus,” the 200 pound midget of the team certainly made it tough for the opponents whenever they attempted to gain through the line. It took only a few plays for Art to convince his opponents tha£ he was there for business, and that the more they pounded at hint the harder he played. Ballus will be with us again next year. Louis Ruppert. halfback “Doughnuts Louie” always delivered the goods when called upon, and was constantly working his best for the good of the team. He was a deadly tackier, and also gave some real demonstrations of how to run interference. PAGE SEVENTY-ONE TIIK IIALL LIGHT Hall 0 — Joliet 0 (Sept. 25) Hall made her 1926 debut on the gridiron by playing Joliet to a scoreless tie. Both teams fought a hard battle, but neither was able to cross the other’s goal line. The fighting' spirit of the Hall eleven was the outstanding-feature of the game, and predicted a successful season for the Red and White gridders. Hall 0 — Benld 0 (Oct. 2.) This game proved to be the feature mud and water battle of the season. Playing in a steady downpour of rain the teams gave all they had in order to win, but neither was able to gain consistently. During the early stages of the game Hall worked the ball down to Benld’s five yard line, but failed to push it across. Hall made ten first downs, while Benld’s total in this column failed to pass the zero mark. Carpy’s punting was the outstanding feature of the contest. Hall 56 — Morris 0 (Oct. 9) Hall’s warriors proved to their followers that they meant business when they handed Morris a 56-0 defeat in the first I. V. conference game of the season. With a hard hitting line and smooth shifty backfield working to perfection, the boys clearly demonstrated that any team which hoped to cop the championship of the conference would have to show some real class. Hall 7 — Spalding 0 (Oct. 16) From the opening whistle to the end, this game proved to be a real battle; inasmuch, as both teams were fighting hard to break the 6-6 tie of the 1925 season. Several times during the first half the Hall boys worked the oval to within scoring distance, but each time the Spalding team held to avoid a score. However, Hall was not to be denied. During the third period Vasilouski blocked a punt on the Peoria 15 yard line, and on the next play Pozzi zigzagged his way across the goal for a touchdown. Carpy kicked goal for the extra point, making a record of nine successful kicks out of nine attempts. Hall 13 — Kewanee 26 (Oct. 23) Hall met her first and only defeat of the season at the hands of Kewanee, when a powerful offensive drive in the first half netted the Boilermakers three touchdowns. After this, however, the Hall boys rallied and outplayed their heavier opponents; proving that they were fighters, regardless of the score. Bernardi recovered two Kewanee fumbles which resulted in touchdowns for Hall, and Pozzi put on an exhibition of tackling that was one of the outstanding features of the contest-. Hall 53 — Princeton 0 (Oct. 30) When they lined up against the “Lads from the County Seat,” the Red and White gridders gave a demonstration of team work that was a treat to local fandom. The entire team worked together like a perfect machine, and each man took care of his position in good style. The outstanding star of the game would have to be called “The Hall Eleven working as One.” PAGE SEVENTY-TWO TIIE HALL LIGHT Hall 27 — Streator 0 (Nov. 5) In the second conference game of the season, Hall eliminated Streator from the Chamiponship race by handing her a 27-0 defeat. The game was bitterly contested during the first half, with Hall leading 7-0; but in the final period the boys came back strong and registered three touchdowns. Early in the first half Streator worked the ball to the one foot line; but Struck’s proteges proved that they could fight with their backs to the wall and held for two downs, thereby perventing a Streator score. Hall 13 — LaSalle-Peru 6 (Nov. 20) Hall won the undisputed championship of the I. V. conference by defeating her ancient rival to the tune of 13-6. The game, although played on an icy field, was bitterly contested; with our boys holding the edge throughout. The powerful offense of the L.-P. hopefuls, which played havoc with so many other teams, was stopped dead in its tracks by the fierce charging and tackling of the Red and White line. Hall’s initial touchdown came as a result of vicious line plunging on the part of Spalione and some cleverly executed forward passes by that well known combination, Carpy to Pozzi. Then in the third pei iod ( aptain I ozzi made his last and final dash tor Hall when he received a punt on his own 35 yard line, and with the aid of some real interference, raced 65 yards for another score. The game closed the football careers of six of Hall’s men, and they all shared in the honor of helping to make the 1926 season a success. PAGE SEVENTY-THREE TIIE IIALL LIGHT SPRING VALLEY BUSINESS MEN ENTERTAIN FOOTBALL SQUAD The football boys were entertained at a banquet given by the Spring alley business men at the Gross Elm Tavern, December 8, 1926, at 7 o’clock. The boys were heartily welcomed by the men and action started immediately. Keverend Mills opened the evening by saying grace and giving thanks for the gathering. All enjoyed the tasty chicken dinner. Mr. Wimbiscus, toastmaster, opened the program by a complimentary address to the boys of Hall. Judge C. N. Hollerich next gave a talk, telling how he helped bring football into Spring Valley. After all had taken part in yells and songs, a musical program was given by Mr. Mountain, playing the violin and Miss Clark accompanying him. Mr. William Hicks played a number of pieces on the piano and accompanied the group singing . Adam Bernardi and Elvio Pozzi sang several popular tunes and were clapped back for “more.” The program closed with everyone singing “Till We Meet Again.” The menu of the banquet was: Fruit Cocktail, Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Peas, Oyster Dressing, Fruit Salad. Hot Buns, Butter, Celery, Pickles, Olives, Conference Title Cake and Whipped Cream and Coffee. BANQUET HELD AT LADD IN HONOR OF HALL’S FOOTBALL SQUAD The Ladd boosters and business men gave a banquet at the Columbus Hotel, December 2, 1926, for the football boys of Hall Township High School. A collegiate bonfire, which was built to represent the victory of Hall, started the ball rolling for the evening. The boys were then led to the dinner. The tables were decorated in red and white. The feast set before them consisted of raviolis, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberries, peas, buns, and ice cream and cake. Paul Perona, toastmaster, gave a short greeting and then congratulated the boys on their excellent work. Talks were given by Mr. J. W. Sullivan, Coach Struck, Mr. B. F. George, Mr. Dwyer, Mayor Coss, and Mr. Geno Pozzi. An excellent address was given to the boys by Mr. Perona. BANQUET GIVEN BY MOTHERS The football boys of Hall were royally entertained by the ladies of Hall Township, on the evening of November 23. The boys were given a chicken dinner which was held at the Gross Elm Tavern. The whole squad was invited, and every member came. Miss Ada Sitterly was toastmistress, opening the program by congratulating the team for their successful football year. Coach Struck then introduced each man of his team with great pride. Short talks were given by Mrs. Covenv, Mrs. Neben, and Mrs. Gunther of Spring Valley and Miss Kinder of Ladd. PAGE SEVENTY-FOUR THE IIALL LIGHT A musical program was given by Mrs. Rhoads, Mrs. Buss, Mr. Mountain, with Miss Clark accompanying them. The boys enjoyed the eats, but they enjoyed the fun afterwards even more. They were turned loose after the dinner was served. Various yells were given by the ladies in honor of the boys. The boys responded with school songs and yells. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing, and singing popular %ongs. They ended their evening of fun by having a Charleston contest. ‘ ‘ Rosy ’ ’ won first prize. TEACHERS ENTERTAIN FOOTBALL SQUAD The football squad of Hall was entertained at their last banquet given by the members of Hall Township faculty on December 14, 1926. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated in red and white, a football field forming a center piece. A large sign of red and white cordially greeted the boys as they entered the gym. Mr .Tyler acting as toastmaster gave a very interesting address to the boys. Captain Rozzi and Captain-elect Martinkus, gave short speeches. Coach Struck put in his good word and showed his appreciation for the substantial backing he and his men had received throughout the season. The football men took' this time to show their gratitude to Mr. Sullivan and Coach Struck. They presented Mr. Sullivan a good-looking scarf and Coach a travelling bag. A splendid program was given by the faculty members as well as by the students. Mr. Mountain gave several numbers on the violin, being accompanied by Miss Clark. Tillie Sacks gave an interesting reading. Adam Bernardi and Elvio Pozzi sang several popular songs and concluded the program singing “On Hall Township.” The banquet was deliciously prepared by Miss Ludwig and her classes. The girls of the school served. FOOTBALL BOYS HAVE ICE CREAM PARTY On the evening of December 7, the lucky fellows of Hall’s football squad had a supper of ice cream and cake down in Hall’s gym. The ice cream was given to the boys by Mr. William Gunther and the cakes by the mothers of the boys. The faculty members and the boys’ mothers were invited. Each member of the squad had the privilege of bringing a girl, (not all doing so, however). The evening was happily spent in dancing and playing basketball. However, most of the evening was spent in eating ice cream and cake. PAGE SEVENTY-PIVE BASKETBALL When Coach Struck issued Ins first call for basketball, he was confronted with the problem of building a new team, inasmuch as four of the five letter men of the prevoius year were missing from the fold. However, the men who reported were all anxious to do their best toward the advancement and betterment of the cage game at Hall, and consequently all worked hard in hopes of bringing about this desire. As a result of this, the boys experienced one of the best seasons Hall has had for some time, and finished the year with a record of 15 games won and 10 lost. The season was inaugurated on December 3 with a win over Tonica, and from then until the Christmas holidays the Red and White cagers played winning ball. However, after returning from their vacation, the boys fell into a slump and as a result were forced to take defeat on several occasions. Then about the middle of January this losing streak came to an end; after that most of the games were won by decisive scores. During the year the team entered three tournaments—namely, the Illinois Valley, the Bureau County, and the District. In the I. V. classic the boys were eliminated in their first game by Marseilles, a team which they defeated several weeks later. Then in the struggle for supremacy of Bureau County the Red and White were victorious in their first two games but were defeated 13-10 in the semi-finals by LaMoille, the team which won the tourney. In the play-off for third place Wyanet was defeated by a score of 28-21 and as a result Hall was awarded a small sized, silver basketball. In the District meet held at Princeton we had the satisfaction of defeating Sheffield, runners-up in the Bureau County tournament, but were forced to take defeat at the hands of Hopkins. PAGE SEVENTY-SIX Charles Montagnoli. center “Buck,” with his ability to get the tip-off the majority of the time, proved to be an ideal man for center. He was also an accurate passer and could be counted upon to uphold his end of the game at all times. Louis Dieci. forward, capt.-elect “Modest Louie” was one of the most consistent performers of the Hall Five. No matter how the game was going, Dieci always worked his best and kept cool. He was always a threat on offense and likewise did his share in keeping the opponents away from the basket. With him as leader of her team. Hall should come through with “flying colors” on the hardwood court next year. Elvio Pozzio. Forward “Flucky” showed that he could scuffle around on the basketball court as well as he could on the gridiron. Being exceptionally shifty on his feet and possessing a keen eye for the basket, he was always a menace to his opponents and on many occasions helped to make life miserable for them. Besides being high point man for the season, he was also chosen as a member of the All-Star team at the District Tournament. John Messaglia. forward “Johnnie” could always be depended upon to give all he had in a game and was one of the hardest fighters on the team. He was exceptionally clever in slipping away from his guard and getting under the basket for a “set-up,” and in addition possessed a knack of dropping them in from about fifteen or twenty feet out. Anton Martinkus. guard “Carpy” was one of the main cogs in the Red and White offense in addition to having a large part to play in keeping down the opponent’s score. It was up to him to bring the ball down the floor and either pass it to an open man or else shoot for a basket himself—a task which is not so easily done. However, “Carp” handled it in good style and with his clever floor work always had the opposition trying to figure out what was going to happen next. He is only a Junior and should have a great year in 1928. John Mazaika. guard “Jack” lived up to his title “The Iron Horse” in basketball as well as he did in football. Being responsible for a great share of your team’s defense is a hard job, but John was always there and ready to repel the enemy whenever they launched their offensive attack. His ability to take the ball off the opponent’s backstop and start it down the floor in a hurry enabled Hall to score a lot of points which otherwise would not have been registered. He is a sophomore which speaks well for Hall’s cage team next year. PAGE SEVENTY-SEVEN TIIK HALL LIGHT Besides this record our team won one of the highest honors ever conferred upon a Hall team, when they were presented with a Sportsmanship trophy at the Bureau County tournament; signifying that they were considered the cleanest and most sportsmanlike group of players in the meet. This does not only bring credit to the individuals on the team, but is an honor of which the entire school is proud. Following are the results of the seasons games: Hall 17 Toniea 14 Hall 18 La Salle 33 Hall 23 St. Bedes 11 Hall 51 Princeton 10 Hall 11 La Salle 15 Hall 28 Seneca 12 Hall 19 Tiskilwa 12 Hall 25 Swaney 4 Hall 8 Morris 28 Hall 19 Marseilles 23 Hall 19 St. Bedes 18 Hall 35 Toniea 24 Hall 14 Granville 16 Hall 20 Swaney 4 Hall 16 Seneca 22 Hall 24 Marseilles 21 Hall 19 Tiskilwa 27 Hall 25 Princeton 15 I.

Ferrari, and Barto. These men were always ready to fill in the shoes of the “Regulars,” and never failed to give a good account of themselves when called upon. Besides this they have a record of winning six out of seven games from the second teams of other schools, the bright light of these victories being a triumph over the L-P seconds, a team which won 22 out of 24 games for the season. PAGE SEVENTY-EIGHT THE HALL LIGHT Anton Ferrari “Skinny” is one of the few veterans of the track team. Last year he was a point-getter in nearly every meet. This is his fourth in the distance runs, the mile and half-mile. He is also capable of gathering points in the high jump and broad jump. He holds down the anchor position on the relay team. John Messaglia “Johnny” is captain of the track team. He holds several meet records for the 440 yard dash and he also excells in the 220. Besides being first man on the relay team, he occasionally enters the broad jump, high jump and pole vault. Massaglia is another veteran serving his fourth year on the team. Maclean Brown “Mac” is the best javelin heaver seen in these parts for some time. Last year he shattered the Bureau County record and hung up several meet records. This year he will go to the state meet. Paul Repka Paul is one of the reliable dash men. He runs the 50, 100, and 220. His specialty is the 220 yard low-hurdles. He will probably have a few new records by the end of this season. He is a member of the relay team. John Mazaika “Jack” is the big boy of the track team. He already has several records in the shot-put and has two more years to hang up some new ones and break his own. Besides the shot, he sometimes hurls the javelin. PAGE SEVENTY-NINE THE IIALE LIGHT TRACK REVIEW With no outstanding stars at the beginning of the 1926 season, Hall’s prospects of a championship team were rather dull. With hard and persistent training the boys were able to win the Bureau County Championship. The only dual meet which was scheduled was lost to Hopkins by a ten point margin. Men who were sure of points in a meet were Messaglia and Wilson in the sprints; Repka and Gross in the hurdles; Ferrari and Yushkis in the distance runs; Brown, Bureau County record holder, in the javelin; Lunn, Dwyer, Mazaika in the weight events; and Mazzorana in the pole vault. The relay team, composed of Dwyer, Gross, Wilson and Messaglia, placed first in the Bureau County meet and made a creditable showing in the district meet at LaSalle. PAGE EIGHTY Book III—Service Aitta jMecitcmks Department There is no student who can say he has had no chance to give service to his school. We have activities of all kinds to give opportunity to each student, however talented, to use this ability for the school. The many organizations have been successful this year because of the response given them by the students. This year, to show how much service is considered, the senior girl and senior boy who have been of most service to the school were chosen. The local H. A.

Exa Boucher. HONORARY ACTIVITY CLUB Hall’s “Honorary Activity Club” may be considered as having had a very successful year. There was not quite as large a club this year as last, but it will be greatly enlarged at the beginning of next year. The several general assembly programs given during the year were well received and demonstrated that the Honor Club has “the” talent. The club presented a regulation sized silver football trophy to the football team in recognition of their capturing the Illinois Valley football championship. The Honor Club is sponsor of the annual. The books of the “Light” are the four points of qualification for If. A. C. namely, scholarship, character, service and leadership. Near the end of the year the members held a wiener roast. Much of the success of the club is due to the sponsor, Miss Shoptaugh. A great part of her time was devoted to its problems.

The group is composed of students who are interested in Dramatic Art and was organized with the purpose of providing a medium for the development of personality through the activities of the Club and the opportunity for the growth of friendships among the students. Under the direction of their sponsor, Miss Hoy, the club this year staged “A Full House,” which was received by an enthusiastic audience. This organization has brought before the student body several interesting and profitable assembly programs, and its social gatherings and literary meetings have furnished many pleasant hours to its members. PAGE EIGHTY-THREE THE IIALL LIGHT DRAMATICS AT HALL Hall offers a varied program each school year that cannot but appeal to the student body as a whole, while it is of even more interest to those interested in that line of work. Each year two of the clubs present plays, and the Junior and Senior Plays are regular features of the spring program. Shorter plays are given by members of the Dramatic Class, as a part of their regular work, thus giving a larger proportion of the students an api portunity to try for these parts. The following one-act plays were presented by the Dramatic Class as an evening ’s program on May 5th. “MY LADY DREAMS The Lady .......................... Marie, her maid ...................

William Stedman Lord Andrew Gordon, his would-be son- in-law ............................. Maclean Brown Director — Helen Hoy “Adam and Eva” is an amusing play on the American business man who has a genius for making money but not a trace of talent for managing his own family. The story of a wealthy man, his extravagant, helpless family clinging dependent upon him and apparently regarding him as bothersome except when he poises his pen above check-book. These relatives even arrange with his physician to have him go away on a long trip, so that they may run up bills more freely. In comes the father’s young business manager, who tells his employer how he would have a home. The exasperated father suggests that they change places, and puts Adam in charge of the household, while he goes to the upper regions of the Amazon. How the young man meets the hurricane of flippancy and terrific bills for lingerie was genuine fun. “A FULL HOUSE” By Fred Jackson Present by the Dramatic Club Nov 12, 1926 THE CAST Parkes, an English servant ..............

But the junior partner is the, kind of a bachelor no woman likes. “He is such a blank that every time he comes in, it seems that someone has gone out.’’ The senior partner has the idea that every woman would like to get that man whom every other woman wants. Hence he conceives the idea of inventing a few love affairs for his partner. He selects at random from the book shop some photographs of beautiful women, which afterwards unfortunately prove to be those of the Queen of Roumania, Mona Lisa, and a moving picture star. The star is decided on as the junior partner’s latest flame, and at the proper time the whole story is allowed to leak out. Soon “The Whole Town’s Talking.” All the girls fall in love with him, and especially the daughter. Then the picture star appears in town, accompanied by her lover, who happens to be a prize fighter. “The Whole Town’s Talking” proved to be a climax of whirlwind hilarity. DRAMATIC CLUB PARTY On the evening of January 12, the Dramatic Club gave a very successful party in the gymnasium of Hall. Each member of the club was entitled to bring a guest. The faculty were also invited. The evening was spent in dancing and playing various games. The music for the dancing was furnished by Mi-. Mountain and his “Symphony Five.” A delightful lunch was served consisting of sandwiches, pickles, ice cream and cookies. The lights went out at eleven o’clock and all left with a smile revealing a good time.

It is an eight page paper and several issues had ten or twelve pages. A new idea was worked out in the April first issue. It being “All Fool’s Day,” all articles were imaginative, with the headlines and main story dealing with a stadium donated to the school by the senior class. The paper is edited every two weeks and not once has it come out late. Considering the small class Mr. Buss has in printing, the paper comes out very regularly. This year several new columns have been added to the humor section. “Aimless Alice Asks,” or the inquiring reporter, was a new feature, and it proved to be of great interest to both faculty and students. Very impertinent questions were asked from “What is your favorite study and why?” to “Do you prefer blondes or brunettes and why?” Another column which the students enjoyed was the “Advice to the Lovelorn.” “Aunt Ada” gave some useful advice. Late in the year a new column, “Jingles,” was introduced. Three lines of a poem were given in one issue and the students wrote the fourth line. The best line was published in the next issue. The Christmas issue also received much comment for it was printed in the holiday colors, green and red. Hall is considering the teaching of journalism, a course in newspaper writing, next year.

LOVE PIRATES OF HAWAII “Love Pirates of Hawaii,” a pleasing operetta in two acts, was presented by the music department in the Hall Auditorium on March 22, 1927. The setting is in a girls’ seminary near Honolulu. The plot develops around Billy Wood, an officer on a U. S. cruiser, who is in love with Dorothy Deere, an American, who is in the seminary and is not allowed to see him. He dresses as a pirate and plans to frighten the teacher, Miss Primer, into letting him on the premises. The play gets more exciting when a band of real pirates come to capture the school. They put Billy under guard, but lie is freed by his sweetheart, Dorothy. Meanwhile, the Pirate Chief falls madly in love with Miss Primer who returns his love. Billy manages to get to an American camp and with the aid of 1 . S. Marines subdues the Pirates, after learning that they are wanted for robbery. The dreamy songs of the Hawaiian girls coupled with the bold pirate tunes formed an evening’s musical entertainment which was appreciated by the audience. The cast was as follows: Dorothy Deere, daughter of plantation manager ......... Amelia Barrowman Miss Prinmer, teacher in seminary ......................... Lila Me Alpine Billy Wood, Lieutenant U.

The football and basketball teams were cheered on by the “music-makers” at all the home games. They also accompanied the football team to La Salle. The proudest moment of the year was when they were invited to Ladd on Armsitice Day to lead the parade, part of the celebration in dedicating their new street lights. At the beginning of the year, the following officers were chosen: President, Charles Montagnoli; Secretary, Leland Perkins; Librarian, Ralph Schwab; Ass’t. Director, Gildo Spina.

The Language Club has had a small membership this year, due in part, perhaps, to the fact that our constitution requires that each member of the club must have foreign language as a part of his program. Our chief aim is to make the study of foreign language more interesting. In addition to having regular meetings, the club has given three programs before the entire school, the first consisting of dialogues and readings given in twelve different languages; the second shadow-graph scenes from the Trojan war; and the third being a short play entitled, “The Slave Girl.” The Club also had a picnic outdoors, which was greatly enjoyed. The Language Club is the oldest club of the school. A much larger membership is expected next year. The present members are: Paul Repka, president; Helena Penning, secretary; Ruth Gallagher, Dora Orlandini, Lucile Dieci, Helen Kuzma, Margaret Salmon, Virginia Pomatto. James Barrowman, Anton Ferrari, Hugo Tiemann, Cecelia Manning, Ralph Haughawout and Anna Kleinfall. Mr. Toney is the club’s sponsor. PAGE NINETY-FOUR SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club was organized two years ago to give students who are interested in scientific problems the opportunity to study them in a more intensive and practical way than is possible in the class room. The club meetings are both educational and social in their nature. Programs are featured by reports relative to the practical problems met with in the industrial world, and discussions of the scientific tendencies of the present day. The motion picture machine has often been pressed into service for the showing of films distributed by various leading companies of the country. Officers for the year were: President, William Terasavieh; Vice-President, Peter Compeggio; Secretary, William McFadden.

PAGE NINETY-SEVEN THE HALL LIGHT AFFIRMATIVE NEGATIVE Tillie Sacks Esther Walker Ralph Colver Lila McAlpine Doris Hight Ralph Schwab Miss Anderson DEBATING SEASON OF 1927 Following the custom of former years Hall was again this year a member ot' the State Debating League. The question for debate in the League was, “Resolved: that a Department of Education with a Secretary in the Presidents Cabinet should be added to the Executive Department of the United States. ’ ’ The process of collecting material was begun in November. On December 15th and 16th the trv-outs were held from which the teams named above were chosen to represent the school for this year. Work was begun immediately, due to the fact that all the debaters were inexperienced. The teams met at the school on Monday and Tuesday evenings. After Christmas the debaters began writing speeches. Through the kindness of Miss Anderson and Mr. Sullivan the teams were able to attend a debate at Galesburg in which Lombard debated Augustana. This was a great help to the debaters in acquiring some of the facts and principles about debating. The following is the debate schedule for the year: MENDOTA - HALL - WALNUT Mendota and Walnut resigned from the League, thus forfeiting these debates to Hall, giving six decisions toward the district championship. MENDOTA - HALL On March 17 a dual debate was held between these two schools and Hall PAGE NINETY-EIGHT ,I_j r! TTCT:rn:rr:ivm TIIE HALL LIGHT won both decisions. Mr. Graham was the critic judge and gave helpful suggestions. METAMORA - HALL - WASHINGTON On Thursday March 24 Hall’s affirmative debated Metamora’s negative at Hall and Hall’s negative debated Washington’s affirmative at Washington. All who attended these contests reported them very interesting. Hall’s affirmative defeated Metamora by a unanimous decision while the negative defeated Washington by a two to one decision. STATE MEET AT NORMAL Hall’s teams, having won eleven out of a possible twelve decisions arc champions for the North Central district and so are entitled to enter the state meet held at Normal April 30. The success of the teams was due largely to the aid of Miss Anderson and other members of the faculty. TRIPLE V DERATING ALTERNATES NEGATIVE Frances Riva Helen Ingram Maclean Brown AFFIRMATIVE Frances Van Tress Pearl Lapinski Joseph Sears For the first time in the history of the Hall Township High School Debating teams, there have been two entire second or alternating teams. These second teams have helped very much in the winning of the District Championship. by the first teams. The work of the second teams has been identical with that of the first teams, except that the first teams participated in interscholastic debates, whereas the second teams did not. Speeches were prepared, rebuttal practice was provided, and many debates between second and first teams were held. In the first debate held, the second teams gave constructive speeches, and first teams gave rebuttal. In the second debate, between first affirmative and first negative, the first negative was victorious. In the third debate, between first affirmative and second negative, the affirmative were victorious. In the fourth debate, between second affirmative and first negative, the affirmative were victorious. An all second-team debate was held in General Assembly. Thus we see that this practice was very valuable for first teams in debates with other schools, and helped them in winning the district title. The strength of any team, whether in athletics or debating, lies in its substitutes or alternates. PAGE NINETY-NINE THE HALL LIGHT TRIPLE -V” DERATING CLUB OFFICERS President.............................Ralph Schwab Vice President ------ Ralph Colver Secretary ------- Joseph Sears Faculty Sponsor ----- Leila Anderson The Triple “V” Debating Club held its tirst meeting Friday, October 15, 1926. Twenty-five students were present and were made members of the club. The second semester a Sub-Freshman was added making a total of twenty- six, the largest membership the club has ever had. Debate team tryouts were held December 15 and 16th. Miss Hoy. Miss Clark, Miss Anderson, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Toney and Mr. Tyler picked twelve people to represent the school in the coming debates. Assembly programs consisted of real debates by members of the club. The club as a whole had a very successful year and club entertainments and lectures were enjoyed by all. Therefore, Honorable Judges, with the authority below, consisting of members of the debating club, we firmly maintain that this has been the biggest and best debating club ever established at Hall!

The Double A Club, an athletic organization for girls, was formed this year to sponsor a definite interest in the athletic program at Hall. The club has functioned largely as a ‘'Pep Squad’’ at Hall throughout the year, and also at the County Basketball Tournament at Princeton. At a post-season basketball game with Marseilles fifty-two club members, with Helen Kuzma and Lila McAlpine as cheer leaders, made their initial appearance officially costumed in red and white. Club membership is open to all girls interested in athletics. The officers for the present year are: Frances Latham, President; Helen Kuzma, Vice President; Lila McAlpine, Secretary-Treasurer. Under the leadership of Miss Bixler the club has been a success and plans are being made to extend the activities to include an affiliation with the Illinois State League of Girls Athletic Associations.

If any school has attained success toward this end, our school has in the year just ended. In every possible field, Hall has led. In athletics, music, dramatics, speech, debate, or any other march, we have emerged the leader. These claims for leadership are also further aided by the character and scholarship of the individuals of the school. TIIE HALE LIGHT THE PUBLIC SPEAKING DEPARTMENT The Public Speaking Department of the Hall Township High and Vocational School has completed what we are pleased to call a successful year. This class is divided into two sections, to accomodate the large number of students wishing to benefit by this course, and an unusual interest has been displayed on the part of the students throughout the year. The first part of the year was devoted to the study of the various kinds of speeches, and the knowledge was applied in numerous speeches given before the class. Our recitation work during this period covered Voice, Gestures and Kinds of Speech. The latter half of the year was given over to the study of debating. Lectures were given by Miss Hoy during the first few weeks of this period on which the students took notes, these being later used in the preparation of their debates. The two classes were divided into teams of three members each, debating on the propositions; Resolved: That Prohibition should be abolished, Resolved: That Capital Punishment should he abolished, Resolved: That Immigration into the U. S. should be prohibited for a period of five years, Resolved: That the government should own and operate railroads. Some heated arguments resulted and unusual ability was displayed by members of both classes. The sixth hour class then challenged the eighth hour class to a debate on the proposition, Resolved: That Prohibition should be abolished, which was given before members of both classes. Toasts, formal addresses, and orations were studied for the last six weeks of school. The orations were given out of doors, and at the same time the voice was tested. As a fitting close to a successful year, each student compiled a Public Speaking Textbook from the knowledge acquired during the year. Our department is an essenlial one in the school, and many of the students are taking advantage of the opportunities offered here. In the future we look forward to even larger classes than we now have because of the growing interest in the work. PAGE ONE HUNDRED FIVE THE IIALL LIGHT ENGLISH Four years of English are required of all students at Hall unless there is some conflict in the student’s program. Miss Shoptaugh is head of the English department and teaches sophomore, junior and senior English. Miss Hoy and Miss Heatter teach freshman English. Book reports are required of all English students and each student must have fifteen points for each semester. This is the first year Hall has used the point system for several years. Some very interesting work was done by the junior English classes. These classes had much work in desci'iption and so each student made a descriptive notebook. Each description was taken from some book and magazine. If a picture could be found to fit the description it was inserted beside it. A collection of at least fifty descriptions was required of each student. Part of the semester grade depended upon these notebooks. Spelling lessons were given in each English class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. These words were those which are most commonly misspelled. The student studied them, knew their meaning, and was able to use them in sentences. The grade for each was either zero or one hundred per cent. To the juniors and seniors, a Lincoln Essay contest was open. The prize for the best essay was a large bronze medal given by the Illinois Watch Company. Several of Hall’s juniors and seniors competed; and Minnie Fenoglio, a senior, won first place. Each school whose students wrote these essays was given a medal. To help the staff of the Hall Times in its work, the English classes often wrote ads for the paper. This was useful to the student for he learned a step in advertising. The best ads written were used in advertising for the several business places usually the banks of both Ladd and Spring Valley. SOCIAL SCIENCE The courses in Social Science offered at Hall are quite extensive for a high school of this size. All students are required to take a course In World history in either the freshman or sophomore year. Those who are interested in history and care to take more advanced work may continue in Modern history as an elective in the second or third year. American history, required of all high school students, is offered during the last two years. Civics, a study of community problems, is required of all students in the Vocational School. A year ago, an advanced course in Economics and Sociology was opened to students in the junior and senior years. Great interest is shown by the students in the work of this department as indicated by the size of the classes. PAGE ONE HUNDRED SIX PKEPARATfON Of C AMflb r MNCKiK.

A ££, rf ’r-C r CG • -' -- V r � v� j v x cc: % THE HALL LIGHT PHYSICAL EDUCATION Phyiscai Education for girls is twofold in its scope, including health instruction and pleasurable exercise. Courses in Personal Hygiene during the first semester, and Home Hygiene and First Aid during the second semester provide all girls with a working knowledge of the structure and care of the body, together with methods of treatment for the most common ailments and injuries found in the home. The exercise phase of the program is provided in floor work, games and folk dancing. Two general classes, meeting twice a week provide instruction in calisthenics, apparatus work, group games and simple team games. Posture work is particularly stressed in these two classes. In addition to general work, two special classes have been organized to provide for those upper-class girls who have particular interests in definite phases of physical activity. These courses are elective and classes meet three times a week. The games class is made up wholly of junior and senior girls. Activities stressed in this group are definitely organized team games such as End Ball, Volley Ball, Basketball and Baseball; Track and field activities are also given some attention. The class in Folk Dancing is formed on a similar basis and designed to give special instruction to upper class girls who have a special inclination toward rhythmic work. At the end of the winter season the Physical Education Department under the auspices of the Double A. Club ran off an interclass basketball tournament in which the seniors won the class and championship title. The first game played was between the seniors and sophomores. From the earliest minutes of the play the seniors took the lead and at no time during the game were they in any danger from the scoring of the sophomores. The scoring machine for he seniors included Ruth Ziel, Amelia Barrowman, and Edith McDonald, while the sophomore forwards were effectively covered by the close guarding of Eva Youtsnukis, Marguerite Blum and Agnes Shaw. Ruth Ziel did the stellar work for the seniors although she was ablv assisted by the other members of the team. Ruth has an excellent eye for the basket and some of her long shots from the center of the court made the spectators sit up and take notice. The final score was 36-4. The second game of the season was scheduled between the freshman and junior teams. The juniors forfeited to the freshmen because of their inability to put a team on the floor. This left the seniors and the freshmen in the race, and here again the contest was never close. The freshman team scored one point on a foul while the senior aggregation was piling up thirty-one points. Final score 31-1. An interclass track meet is scheduled for the spring activity of the Department and the seniors are planning to carry off more honors. The other classes are just as determined to do their “stuff” in the testing time. PAGE ONE HUNDRED EIGHT THE HALL LIGHT FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Latin and French are taught. The number of students in this department compares favorably with other departments. In Latin this year there were fifty students enrolled in beginning Latin and thirty in second year Latin. The beginning students in Latin are classified and placed in classes according to their special needs. The work is so adapted to the needs of students that no student should fail in the work, if he is willing to work hard. The new text books recently adopted have added greatly to the interest in this subject. No longer is the student required to wade through the the entire year reading about wars. He reads interesting stories about Greek and Roman life. To add still further to the interest in Latin, the Language Club was organized. The activities of this organization will be seen on another page. Next year a class in advanced Latin will be organized if enough students wish it. Two years of French are offered. The classes are small, and so there is time to do considerable individual work with the students. The beginning class finished the amount of work required in the grammar text and read one classic “Sans Fainille.” In the advanced class practically all of the work was conducted in French. The class especially enjoyed giving scenes from French plays. TEXTS Latin I, “First Latin Lessons,” Scott. “Julia,” Reed. This is a little book used in class for sight translation. (Latin II, “Junior Latin Reader,” Sanford and Scott. French I, “Cours Pratique Francais pour Commencants, ” De Saiue. “Sans Famille,” Malot. French II, “Cours Pratique de Francais pour Commencants,” De Sauze. “Sans Famille,” Malot. “L’ Abbe Constantin,” Halevy. “Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon, ” Labiche et Martin. PAGE ONE HUNDRED NINE TIIE IIAEL LIGHT HOME ECONOMICS One of the most interesting and valuable courses which the school offers is the Cafeteria Course. Under the capable management of Miss Ludwig, the Cafeteria has done remarkably well this year. Cafeteria occupies the fourth and fifth periods of the days. The girls work as partners, and each girl is designated a different occupation each day. The class is self-supporting and is of great benefit to both teacher and students. The students of the class are required to figure up the cost of the dishes which they make. The class of this year consists of: Marion Bentley, Elva Battari, Mary Barnato, Elnora Maurer, Elizabeth Morton, Olide Milanesi, Margaret Norberg, Ruby Sti’oud, Catherine Struthers and Catherine Walker. PAGE ONE HUNDRED TEN THE HA IA j EIGHT (nbustrial Arts CARPENTRY The carpentry group consists of boys taking the “Building and Trades” course. Their work trains them for the reading and drawing of plans showing the lighting, heating and construction of buildings and homes. The auto mechanics class is interested mostly in the reading and drawing of prints which deal with the automobile. The architectural group consists mostly of those interested in the drawing of details and in the plans for lighting, heating and construction of homes. The mechanical drawing class is interested in the drawing and reading of plans pertaining to machinery. Mr. Tyler has charge of the carpentry and architectural drawing class, while Mr. Miller has charge of the mechanical and auto drawing classes. DRAFTING The Drafting Department, situated in the Vocational building, is one of the most interesting and important classes at Hall. The department itself is divided into four groups: building and trades, auto mechanics, architectural drawing, and mechanical drawing. PAGE ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN THE HALL LIGHT AUTO MECIIAXICS The Auto Mechanics course at Hall is a two-year course given in co-operation with the state department under the Smith-Hughes law. Twenty-four students are enrolled in this year’s classes. The course is so outlined as to give the students actual experience in repairing all the various units of the ear. The student body furnishes the cars to lie repaired, and the supply is varied and never ending. The garage is a large, well-lighted shop and is equipped with a lathe, drill' press, oxy-acetylene torch, forge, and a large supply of the smaller tools. A motor laboratory has also been added. In this room a number of different types of motors are mounted on stands, with water piped to them and the exhaust piped out so they can be run. More motors will be mounted in this room from time to time. Mr. A. A. Winterbauer is the Auto Mechanics instructor. PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWELVE THE HALL LIGHT PRINTING Of all the trades taught in the school, printing has been found to lend itself best for the purpose sought. It serves to instill a practical bent into the mind of the hoy and is also usually helpful to him in his general academic studies. The teaching of printing in the school is of great value in many wavs. It should lead to a better understanding of printing matters by the general public, which will be of value to the printer, the employee, and reader. Printing develops a better and more practical knowledge of English, Mathematics, and Ar-t. It gives the boy a taste for practical things, an opportunity for self-expression in the right direction, and an outlet for his energies. The aim of the course is to make it possible for the students to demonstrate their mechanical knowledge, their artistic ability, and their thinking capacity. The printing department is operated under the Smith-Hughes Law. The enrollment this year wak twelve students. The class hours were from one to four each afternoon. Under the leadership of Mr. A. W. Buss, the printing of the bi-weekly school paper, “The Hall Times,” has taken a new lease on life. With the slogan, “The Hall Times—always on time,” we have worked hard and feel that this year has been a success. PAGE ONE HUNDRED THIRTEEN Calendar SEPTEMBER 3—Registration.
