HALL LIGHT FOREWORD Twenty-five years ago Hall Township High and Vocational School, long a dream in the minds of a group of forward-looking men of this community, became a reality. Today, at the end of a quarter century, another important achievement in the history of Hall has been completed— the addition of three new units, the auditorium, the gymnasium, and the swimming pool. The 1939 Hall Light attempts to portray, in pictures and words, school life at Hall in this twenty-fifth year of its existence. —The Staff CONTENTS: Administration Classes Athletics Organizations and Activities Features Our Patrons Page Four HALL LIGHT DEDICATION At the end of this, the twenty-fifth year of Hall’s existence, we dedicate the 1939 Hall Light to the Future. May the next twenty-five years bring to fruition the seeds planted in the Past, and the achievement far surpass the hopes and ambitions so eagerly expressed in the Present. Classes of 1939 and ’40 Pafjt Five HALL LIGHT Page Seven HALL LIGHT A BRIEF REVIEW-1914-1939 PLANS for the present Hall Township High and Vocational School were begun in 1913 by Ernest L. Bost. The first Board of Education was composed of eight prominent men, representing all sections of Hall Township. Through their persistent efforts the first unit of the Hall Township High and Vocational School became a reality in 1914. By the end of September, 1914, the main building was completed at a cost of $112,174. While this building was being constructed, plans were made for the construction of a vocational building. The two buildings were completed about the same time. The total cost for both buildings and their equipment was $220,000. The high school was in readiness by the end of January, 1915, but actual teaching did not begin in these buildings until February 20, twenty-five years ago. The academic subjects taught were those usually included in the curriculum of a four-year high school. The vocational subjects included shorthand, bookkeeping, typewriting, commercial law, commercial geography, sewing, cooking, and cafeteria. In the vocational building were given mechanics, wood-shop, drawing, and agriculture. A course in mechanical accounting was also offered in 1916-17. The eleven boys and girls who had the honor of becoming the first alumni of Hall Township High and Vocational School in 1915 were: Fred DeFilippi, Glenn Sitterly, Roy Baxter, George Herrmann, Grace Creed, lone Forrester, Della Link, Scdalia Phillips, Rose McDonald, Mary Clinton, and Esther Phillips. lAt the graduation exercises Dr. Nathaniel Butler of the University of Chicago addressed the class. At the time of the influenza epidemic in 1918 over one third of the students at Hall were stricken and the school was closed. Hall was made into a hospital where the pupils and teachers served as helpers from seven in the morning until seven at night. Among many Hall students who took part during the World War were three who did not return. They were John and Vester Sickinger of Granville, and Howard Cole of Spring Valley. Tribute is paid to them at each Armistice celebration at Hall. In the twenty-five years since the establishment of Hall she has attempted to keep pace with the time through a continuous progress. In 1927 a new janitor’s residence was built, and in 1929 the present athletic field was completed. Changes in equipment in the vocational departments have been made from time to time. The Home Economics Department was completely renovated in 1937-38. With the present school year, we see the completion of the most ambitious project since the establishment of the school: the addition of the auditorium, gynasium, and swimming pool. Plans for the new addition were begun in 1938. $70,000 worth of bonds were voted and sold. A P. W. A. grant of $55,000 was given and accepted. Contracts were awarded and work was started on September 19, 1938. To Dr. Kirby, President, and other members of the present school board, much gratitude is due for this accomplishment. Through their persistent efforts and unflagging zeal Hall has reached its present level of development. The original graduating class of 11 has increased to about 90 and the general enrollment is approaching the 400 mark. We have just come through another influenza epidemic and at the moment we are confronted with the possibility of another world war. As Hall students have contributed their part in the past and taken their place in the affairs of the community and the nation, they stand ready now to prove their loyalty to the ideals implanted during their years in high school. Hall's progress in these past twenty-five years has enabled her to keep pace with the times. Her aim for the future must be continued advancement, that she need not rest on her present achievement but press forward toward ever higher and more ambitious goals.

Pa Twenty-four HALL LIGHT SENIOR CLASS HISTORY WHEN you look back over the senior class of '39, you realize they really were a very active group. They began with an enrollment of 121 with Drue Redshaw-president, Burl George- vice-president, Carlo Rivasi-secretary and treasurer, and Mr. Harrison Toney as sponsor. Their first event, a freshman party, was held in the gym October 23, 1935- Some of the talent of the class was presented that night. There were several musical numbers including Frank Lanuti singing a song in Italian. Everyone had his fortune told as he entered. The evening was climaxed by Carlo Rivasi's telling a ghost story. The sophomore year was a rather dull year. The enrollment dropped to 108. The officers were Dorothy Rvezek-president, Jean Ingram-vice-president, Carlo Rivasi-secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Toney was the class sponsor again. The most outstanding event was the assembly program they presented. It was a kindergarten with Carlo Rivasi as the teacher. Each pupil counted from 1 to 10 in a different language. The year was climaxed by a picnic at Starved Rock. During the junior year there were many interesting happenings. There were 92 students. The class was sponsored by Miss Antoinette Bacevich and had the following officers: President, Burl George; vice-president, Atherton Kern; secretary, Carlo Rivasi; treasurer, Leroy Ruskusky. The junior play, Happy-Go-Lucky,” was given April 22 under the direction of Miss Ruth Osmanson. To end the year right the junior prom was held May 20. It was a semi-formal affair with Billy Waite’s orchestra furnishing the music. Last but most memorable year, the senior year, all were active. There was an enrollment of 89 with 6 transfer students all coming from Cherry. The class officers were president, Francis Rooney, vice-president, Leroy Ruskusky, and Mr. A. C. Tyler was sponsor. Senior pictures were taken, and then the class rings arrived.

The honor roll consists of the ten seniors with the highest scholastic average. The next group is given honorable mention. From the upper third of the class a group is chosen for the National Honor Society. Election of 15% of the senior class is made by the superintendent and teachers whose decision depends on the following qualities in addition to scholarship: service, leadership, and character. Hall Township High and Vocational School, one of the first in the state to enter the National Honor Society, received its charter in this organization in 1925. Now every state in the Union has a chapter. Membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor obtainable by a senior in a four-year high school. Members of the National Honor Society are: C. Rivasi, E. Bertalot, D. Ryezek, J. Booker, F. Lanuti, B. Riley, A. Kern, A. Krayauskas, D. Redshaw, and K. Casassa. faff Twenty-six HALL LIGHT A Long View DURING my last trip to the old stamping grounds around Hall, I learned a few very interesting facts about some of the old classmates. Most of them are well on their way to complete their ambitious plans and during the following few minutes of time which I have left, I am going to pass on these facts, picked up here and there to you. There will be no charge for this knowledge—it is absolutely tree. I hope by this means to satisfy your curiosity as to what your old pals are doing. To start off: Our political friends Francis (President) Rooney, communistic nominee for President of the United States, and his running mate Harry Egan, arc out for the coming presidential election, and August Martinucci is running for exercise, trying to make the collegiate track squad. They arc opposed by Vernon Ghiglicri, Ovilio Zanarini, and Wayne Mavity of the Socialist party. It was too bad to read in the paper that Dante Bulli, formerly a prominent aeronautical inventor, met disaster a few weeks ago after trying to fly to China, his native land, in his latest plane, “a ship without wings. Believe it or not Karma Hawkins and Betty Trivicr have turned career girls and have opened a bcautyc shoppe down in the loop of Scatonvillc By the way, Scatonvillc's new road was not enough so they employed Atherton Kern, Frank Lanuti, Carlo Rivasi, and Aigerdis Krayauskas, a young preeminent engineering organization, to construct a new super-span bridge between Ladd and Scatonvillc. On the corner of Tit and Tat Street stands Arthur Dhesse, sole owner and proprietor of Dhcssc's Newspaper and Magazine stand. Arthur tells us he is doing fine and says he started from the bottom up just like Henry Ford did, and imagine! Thomas Peterson, Anthony Quartucci. and Clarence Dobbcrstcin arc his prominent salesmen. Imagine my surprise when I went to the Army-Navv game yesterday and saw L. Ruskuskv and E. Ycrly holding down the ends on the team, and wonder of wonders John Timm playing guard and still trying to keep ahead of the backficld in the interference. The night after the game the gang and I decided to take a tour of the night clubs. You could've knocked me down with a baseball bat when the first club we entered (The Raz-ma-taz), whom should we meet but Burl George, and Russell Batten as chief cook and bottle washer. In his floor show several stars of our memory top the list; Kir Casassa, Arlene Mattioda, Davida Piercy, Vivian Kudcla, Peggy Flood and Gladys Savio. Whatta night' Who should be conducting the swing symphony but John ’ Jitterbugs Comcrouski and his Jits,” Louis Mignonc, cornet; Joe Bemardoni, bass; Betty Rilev, piano; Jean Ingram, violin; Henry Dc Groot, mandolin; John Bruno, cornet; Paul Blum, saxaphone; Selina Bertrand, saxaphonc. and little Jean Booker, the wow blues singer. The first numbers they played were You're a Sweet Little Headache Hurry Home and their theme song was Get Out of Town. Although hoarv with age, the old tunes sounded pretty good to us. Some of the boys were bashful and so we went to Lena Biccochi's Ladies Escort for Bashful Men. A lot of fun was had by all because we met some of our old classmates- Catherine and Hattie Casassa, Loretta Crowe, Pauline Gicske, Constance Pilapaitis, and Eloise Sabatini The day after our wild jaunt, on the way to the office, I heard voices on the corner talking about the price of oats and thought that I recognized them. Sure enough, the speakers were Harry Welch, Eugene Smith, Leo Schwambcrgcr, John Lukosus, and Charles Rudiger. The love of soil had overtaken them and made farmers out of them. Yesterday I received a letter from Gerald Burman, of the Edward Haig and Burman Cheese producing firm, and he said that recently, Dorothy Ryezek. Doris Gradert, Betty Vogt, Catherine McCauley, Maxine Burke, and Albert Becherini were employed in their typing department in responsible positions of the cheese factory. Oh Yah! I remember walking under a sign down town, reading Grigalonas, Glass and Riley Electrical Supplies and Radio Company. This surely is some town but it’s good for the material around. Look at that sign We Fillem—Prescription Drug Store, Kunkel and Drager, Proprietors. And whom should we see jerking sodas but Robert Clupka and Henry Miglio. The other day, worried about mv waist line, I went to see Evelyn Ambrose, Catherine Miller and Marie Daley, expert dietitians. They told me that thetr experiences in dieting during their high school days helped decide their future. During the course of our conversation I was surprised to learn that Mary Louise Bobbio and Marion Campbell were dietitians on Ladd's Michigan Boulevard. While visiting St. Margaret’s Hospital Deluxe. I happened to see several pretty nurses who seemed familiar to me I soon found that they were none other than Betty Navin, Head Nurse, Edith Stank. Marcella Stermer, Louise Rue. and Elaine Baladinski of the surgical department and operating room staff. The other day when I took my son to start his school career, I was surprised to find several old acquaintances on the teaching staff. They were Drue Redshaw, principal, Erminia Bcrtalot, teacher of the eighth grade. Hazel Thomson, English teacher, and Viola Pawlak, teacher of the first grade After a very pleasant conversation with Miss Redshaw, I discovered that several other classmates of my high school days were in the teaching field. I was told that Dolly Nickel and Margaret Stirratt were teaching country schools in Bureau County and that Julia Ternetti and Hattie Maloolcy were teaching kindergarten in their homes. I must not forget the exclusive group of women who have chosen for their career the responsibilities of housewives: Fern Berliner, Eleanor Ratazak, Selina Condie, Mildred Farnheim, and Sally Held arc now the happy wives of prominent businessmen of this community.

Coach Nesti and Assistant Coach Bradley are responsible for the building of the team. The football review is as follows: Sept. 16 Janesville—0 Hall—32 (here) Sept. 23 Westville—13 Hall—6 (there) Sept. 30 Bloomington 6 Hall—14 (here) Oct. 7 Champaign—19 Hall—0 (here) Oct. 28 St. Bede—20 Hall—13 (here) Nov. 4 De Pue—2 Hall—33 (here) Nov. 11 Ottawa 6 Hall—6 (there) Nov. 24 La-Salle Peru 7 Hall—0 (there) Total Score.................73 (opponents) Total Score ................ 104 (Hall) Hall won 3, lost 4, and tied 1. Page Forty HALL LIGHT Football Review Janesville 0 Hall 32 A newly moulded, strong team, swept the Janesville squad to doom in the first game of the season, September 16, on Hall's lighted field 32—0. Quartucci made a 45-yard dash and another 30- yard run for touchdown and Panizzi plunged through the line to make the score at the half 19—0. In the second half, the entire Janesville team was replaced by their 'subs.' A triple play gave Yerly a chance to run 49 yards in the final quarter. Shimkus scored to bring the score up to 32—0 and a complete victory for Hall. Wcstville 13 Hall 6 Over confidence and costly mistakes brought about Hall’s first defeat of the season at Westville, September 23- Hall made its six points in the last quarter after Wcstville had made two touchdowns and had scored its extra point. A pass from Quartucci to Ruskusky for 20 yards made their only touchdown. Hall showed up on several occasions, but the hard driving Miller men kept them from scoring further. The game ended with Westville on Hall s 20-yard line. Bloomington 6 Hall 14 Although outweighed 13 pounds to a man,Hall took Bloomington for a ride September 30. The Bloomers' only score came before the Hall fans hardly knew the game had begun. There were fumbles a plenty in the first half for both sides. Ruskusky fumbled a pass to the goal line. The game at the half was Bloomers—6, Redmen—0. In the third Panizzi scored and Quartucci kicked the extra point. In the fourth Yerly scored for the 13th point. Quartucci again punted for the extra point. Hall held the edge for the rest of the game, with a 14—6 victory. Champaign 19 Hall 0 A fast moving, alert down state team sought revenge Oct.7. The Redmen fought valiantly, but were overwhelmed by the powerful Champaign team. The Nestimen proved helpless before the strategic playing of Kirby, Rayburn, Grierson, and Porter. The visiting eleven threatened many times to score, but were only successful thrice. St. Bede 20 Hall 13 The Farrell brothers of Spring Valley helped beat the Nesti-men October 28, 20-13-A large crowd of spectators witnessed thrill after thrill as the old rivals clashed. The Red Devils won the toss only to start a series of punts. The Bears from St. Bede clicked throughout the game while the Nestimen loped about till the final quarter when the Red Devils staged a spectacular come back. Time was short and our boys didn 't quite make it. Page Forty-one HALL LIGHT Dc Puc 2 Hall 33 The Nestimen were the first to catch the fumble fever which resulted in DePue's scoring a touchback and the Zinc City boys’ only two points. Our boys started clicking at the opening of the second quarter with outstanding passes, runs, and plunges Ruskusky, Reynolds, Panizzi, Verucchi, and Quartucci took honors for the home team. The spectacular playing of the Red Devils, exhausted De Pue. They also proved helpless against Hall's substitutes. Ottawa 6 Hall 6 Hall was in trouble as the game opened, but snapped out of it after two threats to score. Ottawa placed the oval” on Hall’s 2-yard line in the first quarter, but gave it upon downs. Ruskusky made a sweeping run around right end, and with perfect interference, made a 52 yard run across the goal line. Ottawa scored in the second quarter almost as soon as the whistle blew. Hall threatened several times to score in the third, but failed, being stopped by the Glass Blowers. LaSalle-Peru 7 Hall 0 On their twenty-fifth annual battle. Hall lost to L.-P., 7-0. A series of passes by the Rcdmen in the first quarter did little good, and they lost the ball on downs. Ruskusky was injured in the first quarter. In the second quarter Ulanowski made the only touch down on a pass from Holsinger. A series of penalties through the game, reduced Hall's chances. The Red Devils had a monopoly on the ball in the last but lost, 7-0. Page Forty-two HALL LIGHT Standing Left To Right: Coach OrlofF, A. Verruchi, A. Martinucci, A. Quartiicci, D. Bulli, A.

The following year Mr. Albert Steffen became sponsor. Upon his resignation Miss Eileen Connolly took over this office. To become members, students must make the honor roll for at least one six weeks' term. The club is based on three principles: scholarship, service, and self-improvement. Twice yearly members receive seals in their I-Try cards for activities along these lines. The club meets once every six weeks. Last spring the 1-Try Handbook, giving information about the faculty, courses, and school regulations at Hall, was issued to all incoming freshmen. At the end of each semester awards are granted to members for outstanding achievement in scholarship. These awards are divided into three classes: Summa Cum Laude, straight A in four or more subjects; Magna Cum Laude, for A's and A-'s in four or more subjects; and Rite, for three A's or A's and nothing less than B. The officers for the present year are: Carlo Rivasi, president; Atherton Kern, vice-president; and Florence Delmargo, secretary-treasurer. Page Fifty-one HALL LIGHT Front Row, Left to Right: C.

Leonard urged boys taking vocational courses to organize a craftsmen’s club of national reputation at the opening of the school term, 1936-37. A group of boys took up the idea visiting the Joliet Chapter of the F. C. A. The first regular meeting of the boys took place on Nov. 15, 1936. Hall's group was one of the frontiersmen in Illinois, receiving the third charter issued in the state. The charter officers were James Tondi, president; Robert Mason, vice-president; William Drager, secretary-treasurer; John Kwasny, reporter. Mr. Hoger and Mr. Leonard were the first sponsors. The club's principal objectives are to promote the spirit of craftsmanship and industrial education in our school; to prepare for a worthy occupation; to encourage cooperation between industry and school, and to develop loyalty, leadership, and character. The meetings of the club are held the first and third Wednesday of the month. Present officers of the F. C. A. are Eugene Smith, president; William Glass, vice-president; Roy Grigalonas, secretary-treasurer. Page Fifty-two HALL LIGHT Front Row, Ltft to Right: M. Rcviglio, D. Rcviglio, F. Dclmargo, L.

Science Club The Hall Science club was organized by Mr. Dominic Marchiando on March 7, 1939. The chief aim of the Hall Science club is to create within the members the scientific attitude of mind, the spirit of investigation, and the desire to search further into the fascinating world of science, to give the members an opportunity to carry on projects which cannot be done in their regular class work; to acquaint the members with science in every day life by means of talks, reports, moving pictures, the library and visitations. The Science club meets every other Tuesday, ninth period, in the biology classroom. The club officers are Drue Redshaw, president; Atherton Kern, vice-president; Arlene Mattioda, secretary: John Bruno, treasurer. Members of the Hall Science club not in the picture are Drue Redshaw, Paul Blum, Johanna Actis and Kenneth Abrahams. Pa e Fifty-four HALL LIGHT Front Row, Ltft to Right:}. Ncsti, F. Bernabei, D.

Hall Times In 1933-1934 the Hall Times changed from a semi-monthly to a monthly paper due to the giving up of Journalism as a subject and the combining of Journalism and English. After this change, one of the Junior English classes took over the study of Journalism and the editing of the Hall Times. Enrollment in this class runs from twenty-four to twenty-eight members. The class is divided into two staffs which have the assistance of class reporters. The paper, issued once a month, is printed by the printing class of the vocational building under the direction of Mr. A. C. Leonard. The Hall Times is entered each year in the All-American Newspaper Critical Service of the National Scholastic Press Association and has rated first class for the past several years.

It has been eight years since Hall has published a Hall Light, the last one in 1931 ■ This year it was decided to issue a year-book commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of Hall and the completion of the new addition. It has been prepared in a short length of time because of the work being done on the new building. Since the Seniors have had a greater participation than the Juniors in the Junior-Senior play, Juniors have taken over the majority of the responsibility of the work on the annual.

Since there was not an opportunity for the usual two class plays, Juniors and Seniors both comprised the cast of the play given May 5, under the direction of Miss Ruth Osmanson.

Welch ' FEATURES HALL LIGHT THE HALL FLASHLIGHT In which for your perusal a few semi-important phases of high school life are brought for the moment into a circle of brilliant illumination. Page Sixty-two HALL A DAY AT HALL HIGH At a few minutes after 8, the first contingent arrives Ladd, first trip—everybody out! Somebody must have got there first, as the front door is unlocked. From then on, a steady stream of newcomers—Spring Valley, mostly on foot, but everybody else on wheels. Seatonvillc swings into the picture 100% present, the second Ladd bus-load debarks. Cherry flips out of the Connolly car. Bureau takes the last corner on high, Dalzell jockeys for bus room on the already crowded parking space, and, if they’re lucky, Arlington limps and coughs and sputters to a relieved stop just before the last bell sounds. 8:50— we’re off! The first two periods roll by in majestic order—everybody seems to be awake, and a flattering number seem to have prepared for the day. The print-shop boys arc getting some last-minute stuff off the press—plenty of action over there—and tantalizing odors arc wafted up from the kitchen. Third period—and the place becomes a three-ring circus. If it isn’t glee club and lab and boys playing indoor out doors, it's assembly, or D. M. C., or or I-Try. It’s always something, and unusually two or three things. As we settle into fourth period and regular classes again, the wrist-watch becomes the most valuable possession—will lunch hour never come? It docs—and with it, the daily mad marathon to the lunchroom. But no— for months we’ve had no lunchroom. Flanked bv a huge stage on the left and a growing swimming pool on the right, what chance has a mere lunch room? None. So we distribute ourselves hither and yon—mostly yon-and have lunch on the hoof. It is a sociable, intimate meal; and if you happen to get someone clsc’s sandwich in your car, or a wabbly jello dessert down your back, just never mind -we don’t have a big building project every year. Fifth period arrives amid yawns and groans. Candy bars unfinished, peanuts still making the rounds—lunch hour isn’t half long enough. The journalism gang more or less settles down to compose the latest gossip column, and everybody else takes a nap Well, no, not quite, for from the music room come queer, indescribable sounds— shrieks and moans, with an occasional blast from a trumpet that makes the windows rattle—down. Music hath charms but where arc they? Maybe this isn’t music. The homc-lunchers begin to gather, the sixth period approaches, the afternoon goes into high. That trio again? or is it another one? And maybe by seventh period the tappers will be at it in the auditorium—there doesn't seem to be any place left for the G. A. A. to do some award-earning—and by eighth period, everybody who hasn't found anything new and exciting to do all day, will be inventing excuses to get out of study hall. Eighth period studv hall—it's scattered all over the place, and nobody studies. Will the day never end? Of course!—but not yet! 3:11—3:13—the closing bells—classes dismissed—the day’s over—but nobody goes home' Of course not—with another forty-five minutes left, to thumb a magazine, or finish that argument, or settle this year’s penant, or date her up for the movie-why go home? And there are probably some club meetings—the Latin Sharks, or the new science club, or H. A. C.—and always there are typists at wor kand the clink and tinkle of apparatus in the laboratories. At last the four o’clock bell! And do the last-minute ones dash for the exits? They do not; they deliberately finish copying the last details of President Jackson's administration, or get one more note on tomorrow’s LIGHT report. The last bus pulls out — even then, short two or three passengers and a too faithful student is left to thumb a ride home. But by this time the campus has come alive—the Red Devils arc flashing up and down, practicing next year's plays—a few stragglers lounge out of the vocational building in time to push a car stuck in the inevitable mud—the Fletcher dog cavorts among the spectators —Nancy Ann comes out for a late afternoon sunning— we drift off homeward, sighing. The end—but tomorrow is only a few hours off. SWING IT Swing it is the popular expression among the younger generation today. Yes, and it’s creeping in on our respected older generation too. Let us however travel backward to the early centuries. Many old manuscripts have been found (including the one in my possession; which prove to the modern world that jazz and swing arc not new. Of course, they undoubtedly had other names. First of all we find the American Indian had a dance known as the Indian War Dance . The Indians danced around a camp fire, faster, and faster, all the while shouting and shrieking many weird sounds. Today our jitterbugs dance around and over any obstacles which happen to be in the way, giving out with shouts and shrieks of Oi, Woo-woo, Come on, you alligator and Oh you jitterbug. Do you nor agree such things would have sounded foreign to the Indians in those early colonial days? Let us travel back to the days of early Egyptian history. We find the tambarinc dancer. These were dancers that wore long draped garments, trimmed with gold and jewels and carrying a tamborinc. Such dancers were hired to dance for the king’s pleasure, on special feast days, or perhaps at a wedding. In this, the 20th century, a dancer with the hot foot is hired to dance for the public's pleasure in Jitterbug contests and marathons. These Fireflies or ragtimes hardly carrv a tamborinc, but pull out a big red apple while giving out with the Big Apple and the Shag. Coming back to more civilized times we have the periods of the well known square dance, jigging, the Charleston and the Lindv Hop. All of these dances were danced as fast as the fiddlers could play the Turkey in the Straw or the Charleston. Today we have replaced the square dance with the Lambeth Walk. The jig has been replaced with our popular tap dancing. In place of the Charleston we have the Shag. The Lindv Hop has gone out and the Big Apple” and our up to the minute Eleanor Glide, have quickly taken its place. Not only by manuscript have such things been further perpetuated, but also from generation to generation. The Samba, a South American dance, has just rcccntlv taken the public’s eye. It was introduced by some of our modern younger set, but a few months ago. It is a scries of acrobatic movements, shouts and dance steps. It has taken the country by storm and is fast becoming the most popular dance of today. This dance has been preserved for centuries by our native neighbors. What does this all prove? you ask. Just this: that swing as we would call is not new but centuries old. It has taken different forms as man becomes more civilized but is still just swing.” So to be modern, and yet still old fashioned, suppose you and I put on our dancing shoes and Let’s dance, folks, lets’s dance.

SPRING S CATHEDRAL In the spring the woods arc more interesting and inspiring to me than any church service. The music of an organ is beautiful and mysterious, but the music made by cardinals, meadow larks, and wood thrushes seems more soul-satisfying and sweeter in tone. The music of the babbling brooks and the birds seems to breathe great truths of life and forms the anthem of the forest. The quietness of the woods instills ' peace that passeth all understanding. It lets the body rest from all the cares of a sin-ridden world. The tall, majestic trees seem to have learned the secret of being content. They seem to be lifting their arms in prayer and supplication to God. They look as if they were listening to a sermon sent directly from Heaven. The deep green velvet carpet of grass, sprinkled here and there with pink and white Easter flowers, shy violets, and sweet williams, is more delicate than any carpet that is in church. The fragrance of the flowers, mingled with the heady scent of the budding trees, fills the air with a sweetness and cleanliness that surpasses the incense of any church I have ever been in. The fleecy clouds floating serenely above the forest give a stateliness and peace to the scene. The whisperings in the branches of the trees seem very reverent, a great contrast to the whisperings in church about someone's new Easter hat, or someone clsc's outlandish shoes. The minister of the woods appears in everything, flowers, trees, sky, grass, and the quietness. Everything is preaching a sermon of greatness, goodness, and love, wonderful because of its very simplicity. As I walk away from the woods, the immensity of the nlan of life God had created makes me feel very small in His sight. Vivian Greeni '40 MY LADY'S HATS The ladies of today arc wearing pots, pans, lids, and flower pots decorated with fruits, vegetables, and an occasional birds' nest or flower, as substitutes for hats. I just love to go windowshopping. Everything is fine until I approach the hat shop. The first impression that I receive is that some inexperienced cook, probably one of these new brides, is mating her first attempt at cooking, and is certainly making a flop of it. There she has her pots upside down. On the bottom of one of her pots she is trying to make an appetizing dish which consists mainly of flowers. On another she is preparing some delicious pigeon. But alas! She forgot to remove the feathers and the nest. But most amusing of all is the fact that she is trying to make things pretty. Guess what she docs. Why, nothing other than decorates her cooking utensils with some sort of material full of holes. I look around in amazement. Suddenly I discover a sign, The Modern Hat Shop. How-cver, we can’t entirely blame the women for this. It’s the designer’s fault. It is almost impossible for one of the female sex to purchase a hat that even slightly resembles one. After shopping all day in every store in town, my lady finally comes to the conclusion that the only thing for her to do is to buy a hat even if she docs look like a circus clown. She has plenty of company. Pearl Barman '40 Pay Sixty-seven HALL LIGHT SENIOR ALPHABET Evelyn Ambrose, smart and good-looking. Seldom do you see both combined for cooking.

Of the heaven I knew with you. —Dolly Nickel ‘)9 LUNCH TIME At lunch time we happily cram,— Knowledge? No! Sandwiches, cheese and ham How we jam that food and devour During that short and happy hour. Each little clan stands in a bunch, Each girl grabbing her big, fat lunch. There’s Alice K. who’ll take a nibble, Stop a while and start to giggle. Then there's Flora D. who cats til she’s weary. Without her O Henry she feel dreary. Then Darlene, who eats quite a bit. Without her milk would throw a fit. Alva, who can put it away,” Has large cafeteria bills to pay. Anne Vecchia is always seen to grapple Into her lunch for her favotirc—an apple. Sarah P. although she is slim, Eats plenty to give her pep and vim. Mary R. who justs cats a pic. So she can get shorthand on the fly. Dorothy P. doesn't bark. When it comes to eating Clark.” Yvonne K. from anything gets a treat. But would much rather cat. Most of us girls have big appetites at Hall— But some of our ferns won’t cat at all. But most of us you can just bet Over our figure don't bother to fret. I HATE TO GET UP IN THE MORNING Ho-hum, stretch, yawn—how I loathe to move my carcass out of that warm, comfortable bedstead. I can sympathize with that poor soldier about whom the song was written during the war. This procedure is so hateful that there must be hundreds who would rather take capital punishment than arise. In fact, I know there arc. There isn't one single creature in all creation w-ho wouldn't like to stick in” for an hour or so longer. It's so-o- relaxing. When I open my eyes to grim reality at 7:15 A. M., I do my best to persuade myself I'm only dreaming; but alas and alack—it's time to get up—so what. Just about this time my loving parents begin exercising their vocal cords. No, they don't sing or practice the scales. It wouldn't be so bad if they did. What they do is start calling Rc-gc-na, Rc-gc-na—time to get up. It's 7:30. It's always a little later, and so I will hurry. They're one in a million or I mean two in a million—my father and mother arc. They get up at six o'clock and think it's perpostcrous if anyone sleeps till eight o’clock. As I was going to say before I ran off on a tangent, the first movement I make after I open my peepers is to roll over on the other side. (They say every one does this). Then I close my eyes, sigh a deep sigh and slide down two feet further. But what’s the use?—and again I am interrupted in my peaceful slumber by a voice which I have learned to dislike. This gets to be very monotonous after about five minutes; so I do my very best and stick out one tiny little foot and test the weather. If I draw my foot back quickly then I know' it's going to be cold outside and this only adds fuel to the fire—I mean it only makes the situation worse. But if my foot dangles near the floor, this tells me it isn’t so cold outside and this somewhat relieves the torture of getting up. There are many different ways of prophesying the weather, but I’ll stick to my method during the winter months and I’ll never go wrong. Act two—scene one, the villain is now out of bed. Now that I'm up I w'ish I could stay up forever and a day so I would never again have to get up in the morning. Regina Campbell '40 Page Seventy HALL LIGHT COURTESY ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY Crash! “Gosh, what’ll Pappy say now? were the first words Marvin said. The next thing I knew, he had jumped from the car, yelled at me to drive the car off the road, jumped in the first car that stopped, and taken after the driver of the other car. After a period of about twenty minutes my friend returned with my father, his father and a shotgun. Then began a merry chase. Of course we were sent home to reassure our mothers, who were having hysterics. Far be it from us to miss all the fun. We hopped on the motorcycle and started out to look for the hit and-run driver. By matching hub caps, dents and scratches, we finally located the culprit. His idea of a good driver seemed to be get over or get run over. Of course, my idea is nothing at all like this. At heart, I am a very courteous young gentleman. I can tip my hat to a lady, allow her to step through a door ahead of me, etc; but let a woman driver attempt to park where I wish to, and my courtesy vanishes. As I have said, I am a good driver (in my own estimation). I know the driving laws, I assume that other drivers do. I turn to the right, he docs too—as a rule. If he makes a wrong choice and comes my way I lay over if he comes too close. I duck. At times even this is not successful I distinctly remember the young woman who wished to take her half of the road from the center. Seeing an open barnyard gate, I ducked. Imagine my surprise when she followed me, sideswiped my car, overturned it then jumped out and threatened to have me arrested for reckless driving. Could you have kept your courtesy? I feel that each driver should do unto the other fellow as he would that he do unto him. Instead of thar each one seems to say, Pardon me. but I was here first. How many are there who really pride themselves upon beating the other fellow away from the intersection? Speed is the principal thing a driver demands from his car. Until courtesy steps onto the highway, squealing brakes, hit and run drivers, and general recklessness will remain. After all, reckless driving is only another form of discourtesy. Barrett Corneille '40 THE CITY Nearly everyone has at least once been in the hustle and bustle of the city, or imagined himself there. In the city the motion is perpetual, the noise seems to go on unceasingly, day in and day out. Emerging from one of the great rail road terminals a country bred person hears the roar of the elevateds overhead, the clang and clatter of the street cars, and sees the surging throng of people on all sides—receives all this with mixed emotions. He is impressed with his insignificance. As he peers up, he sees the great buildings towering hundreds of feet above him. As he gets on one of the elevated trains or street cars and is shoved around, he begins to feel smaller and more unimportant. The city seems to him very unfriendly: he sees few bright colors—all colors are gray and dingy white. It seems shadowed by a great cloud. But as he gets farther away from the city's downtown section, he begins to appreciate the contrasts which occur in the city, for here are small houses which remind him of home. He may be in the city to see a ball game, hockey match, or prize fight. At any one of these he forgets the largeness of the city and concentrates on the game. Even if he is in the city on businees, when he steps into the office of another business he becomes more important in his own ryes. As he leaves the city to return once again to the small town or farm which is his home, he feels that he has seen the world.
