Harvard Boys High School - Review Yearbook (Chicago, IL)

74 years for eight boys. Schobingers of two generations have been in the school 48 years as pupils, and 82 years as teachers. In a rapidly growing city like Chicago, shifts of population are constantly occurring, and there is little stability of domicile. Population necessarily be- comes less homogeneous. Many of our alumni who represented early Chi- cago have moved to the far northern suburbs. lt is obvious that, considering the shift in population and the low birth rate, we can not depend upon our alumni to replenish the school,-although there is a surprisingly large second generation list. We are proud of the part which our alumni have played in the development of Chicago, and of the traditions which they have estab- lished. But our school can not live on traditions alone. The one tradition upon which it can exist is the one which was established early in the history of the schoolethat of earnestness of purpose, simplicity of school life, and sound education founded upon sound principles. And so, with a school popu- lation representing less wealth than at some periods in the past, we have fewer evils resulting from too much money, fewer spoiled children, fewer spoiled parents, and a minimum of disciplinary problems. And now, before beginning the roll call of the classes, we wish to thank all those who have helped by advice or personal Work to issue this bulletin. We are grateful for all the kind Words you have written in your letters, for the memories you have aroused. You can not possibly know how much pleasure your letters gave, and we wish we could have answered them at once. For, in spite of the trials and tribulations of school work, in spite of examinations, and the whims and vagaries of teachers, we are sure that most of you remember school days as l1CIDDY days, and in this mellow mood we invite you to look into the past which has so rapidly become the present.

Medicine Medicine-Contracting Packing-Advertising The banking-investment field still holds first place in both, as the frequently recurring addresses-231 S. La Salle and 208 S. La Salle indicate. We be- came so familiar with one address especially,-175 W. Iackson, that we really considered working a little blackmail on its owner: for if we induced all Harvard School men to move elsewhere, the building would immediately go into bankruptcy. Lack of time prevented our carrying out this little plan. From these same groups, we have drawn other statistics which may be interesting. ln taking the first two hundred men of each group, we find that in the first group 117 are unmarried: of those who are married, 3'W are divorced, and there are two children per family. ln the second group 1599 are unmarried: of those who are married, QW are divorced, and there are 1.7 children per family. As many younger families are still incomplete, the difference is not great, and the .3 child will probably be picked up by the time another bulletin is issued. In the first group there are twenty families with four children, two with five, and one each with six and seven. The second group has seven families with four children, one with five and one with six, and has three families with twins. Although there are more larger families in the first group, there are also more childless couples than in the second. The question on the blank, Do you now have more sympathy than you used to for your parents for teachersl? was put in just for fun, to see what the boys would say. The comments were amusing. Some of the remarks are: Definitely! - 1 should say so. - And howl - With knowledge comes understanding, therefore sympathy. - l always did have sympathy with both. - Being both parent and teacher myself, I should say, 'Decidedly'. Others, having a chance to get even with teachers at last, frankly answered: No, or With parents, yes: teachers, no. And one man said: After paying all the bills, l think 1 need the sympathy. ln length of boy-year attendance, there are several interesting figures. The eight Mason boys spent 72 years in the school, the six Hamills, 47 years: the eight Burnhams, 27 years: the four Reams, 30 years: more recently, the five Barnards 21 years: and the grand total of the Kirchheimer families was PAGE 19
