1 xf 5 --cf lan-1 MMUVM THE SEllIllll BEHSS UE i940 PRESENTS' Hononoqah llommunilo Hioh School lloolilon, Illinois All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances And one man in his time plays many parts. The parts we play in school may seem small and insignifi' cant when compared to later life, but they are stepping stones to greater responsibilities in the world of tomorrow. The novice does not begin with the important and coveted roleg he must first play the less conspicuous parts, and work toward his goal. There are many errors, good acting and bad, important and momentous scenes, little and big climaxes, but no one is refused a part. If you are not one of us, we hope you enjoy this glimpse into the student life of our school, and if you are, that this book will recall for you many happy hours spent at Hononegah High School in the year 1939-1940. . . . .Because she is a Director who is well liked by the Players of our theater, and commands their respect. . ...Because she so competently directs the play given every year by the Profes- sionals .... ....Because she has helpfully guided the staff of the Indian--a school paper of which we're proud l .... . . . .Because she has given her time so gen- erously to make this book a success .... We dedicate the Mack of 1940 to llliss Isadure munqer DIREUl0RS.H The faculty and board of education who direct the play and manage the theater. PlHUEHSu. The students who enact the drama at Hononegah. HCTIUH .... The athletics which furnish the action necessary to an interesting drama. HD UBBIHGHQH The clubs to which the Play- ers may belong at pleasure , and to which they may give their own interpretations. ,. -...'e,. . v . My - .,. -, ,. - 'v 7 H -f, Tw1 -1 ...., ,- . . '-4 ,.

When the awful day came, they were told they must dress as boys and girls in the first grade. The un- merciful Amateurs made them do all sorts of pleasant things, such as rolling limberger cheese across the floor, and then eating it. When they had had time to get acquainted they elected these officers: Glenn Fisher, president: Eldon Coots, vice presidentg Betty White, sec- retary-treasurerg and Mr. Hicks, faculty advisor. Late in the fall they had their first class party. They played games, danced, and had cookies and ice cream for refreshments. As the year progressed, the Apprentices took more part in extra- curricular activities. They joined the various clubs, and several of the boys went out for football, basketball, and track. On February 16 they had their second class party. It was a Hard Times Party and the Apprentices came dressed in ragged clothes. After playing games and dancing, everyone took part in a grand march to see who should get the prize for the most unique and ragged costume. The judges declared Leone Stultz and Wendell Roth to be the winners. Fol- lowing the march they had refreshments and everyone had a grand time. The Apprentices enjoyed their first year and are eagerly looking for- ward to the next three years at Hononegah. I1 li l I.

Early in the year they chose Donald Baker, Presidentg Jim Gilchrist, Vice President, Jayne Thayer, Secretary and Treasurerg and Miss Dale, class advisor. They, like everyone else, had to undergo the trials of initiation but found it wasn't as terrible as they thought it would be. They had much fun at their parties. Nothing more of importance happens until they become Amateurs-one point toward victory. ACT II. They all came eagerly back to school, happy in the thought that they were no longer Apprentices. They chose the following oiiicersz Presi- dent, Donald Clikemang Vice President,Donald Vincent, Secretary, Edna Jo Gummowg Treasurer, Beryl Andersong Class Advisor, Miss Brauer. Their big task was to initiate the freshmen. Those on the commit- tee were Don Vincent, Jo Gummow, Jayne Thayer, Jeanf Scott, Barbara Conklin, Dan Steward, Charles Betts, Doris May Knapp, Phyllis Berg, and Donald Clikeman. They gave the Apprentices a really exciting wel- come to the school and put them in their places. In March they sponsored a dance. Robinson Edgar's orchestra fur- nished the music and everyone had a grand time. In the spring they had a sophomore party. They danced, played games, and had refreshments. They are a very jolly, carefree class and have enjoyed their first two years of high school. They are looking forward to having more enjoy- ment in their last two years at Hononegah High. 13 Juniors FRONT ROW: Victor Grebas, Lillian Stultz, Lois Olson, Herbert Brewer, Dixlv-n Shotliff, Mabel Burton, Lila Baker, Mr. Root tsponsorj . 2nd ROW: Helen Black, Wilma Reimer, Darlene Stultz, Kathryn An- thony, Mavis Olson, Betty Payne, Shirley Redieske, Geraldine May. 3rd ROW: Lila Staff, George Roberts, LeRoy Heinz, Dale McMaster, James Hobart, Robert Miller, Royce Diderich, Leia-'nd,Miller. 4th ROW: Dorothy Lang, Viola Dahlgren, Wanda Baker, Jean Wil- cox, Bernice Jones, Mary Lou McKibben, Ruth Reynolds, Dorothy Brum- mer, Mary Jo Osborne. 5th ROW: Kermit Johnson, Raymond Johnson, Roy Meiborg, Owen Reimer, Gerald Anderson, Donald Reimer, Raymond Olds, Lawrence Hobart.

ACT I- When our present Juniors entered Hononegah as Apprentices, they chose as their leaders Gordon George, presidentg Mary Lou Liddle, vice president: Raymond Olds, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Root, faculty ad- visor. Before very long, the Sophomores decided they should be initiated. In spite of their fears, all of the Apprentices were still kicking the next day. ACT II- I The first important job of the Amateurs was to initiate the new crop of Apprentices. Their oflicers this year were: Royce Diderich, president, LeRoy Dicks, vice president: Mary Lou Liddle, secretary-treasurer. The close of the year found them all anxiously waiting their report cards to see if they were promoted to the Understudy group. ACT III - By their third year at Hononegah over fifty boys and girls became Understudies. This gave them a new air of importance. Early in the fall they chose Dawn Shotliff, president, Herb Brewer, vice president: Lila Baker, secretaryg Mabel Burton, treasurerg and Mr. Root, faculty advisor. On November 5 they sponsored a dance which proved to be a big suc- cess. The Swing Kings furnished the music. 4 They presented their class play Life Begins at Sixteen on the nights of March 8 and 9. A week after the play was over they had a party to celebrate the success of their play. They had a pot-luck supper and af- terwards they played games, and danced. Just ask them if it wasn't a swell party! Their class motto: Washington or bust ! They are working hard this year so they will be able to go to Washington, D. C. for their Sen- ior class trip. With their enthusiasm and initiative they should be able to do it. he Senior class of 1940 wishes next year's Professionals the best of luck!

Imagine yourself in downtown New York in the early 1960's. You walk into the beauty shop operated by Barbara Gair and Marjorie Eaton. Ruth Johnson is giving Betty Harman a manicure. Edna Schultz and Bob White are sitting under the hair drier.. The room is filled with the piano music of Joan Ballard, coming over a Sproul portable television set. The air is filled with the odor of a new hair oil developed in the Russell and Eddy Chemical Laboratories. lIncidentally,the odor is a stomach-turning com- bination of wintergreen and banana.J Suddenly the music stops and a voice breaks in saying, This is station OIC, owned and operated by Vin- cent Daily News. The time is now 7:30 p. m. Wilson Watch time. We now bring you the evenings newvs and sports fiashes with your commen- tator, Jack Anghel. He is brought to you through the courtesy of Lane, Shotliff, and Wetzel Hybrid Corn, and we do mean corn. FLASH-Vernon Holcomb and his Boone County henchmen who have been terrorizing the Middle West for the past eight years, were cap- tured early this afternoon by G-man Kenneth Lerch after a furious gun battle. Others captured were Alfred f Killer J2 Ward, Harlan f Hot Lead J Harnish, and Lloyd Daniels, alias Desperate Dan. Lerch received able assistance from Robert Morris, sheriH of Boone County. The gang first became notorious when they murdered the Misses Bernice Bradt and Lois Tigwell who were en route to the latter's wedding. FLASH-Marvin Barnes and Harold Shelton clash tonight in the finals of the Midwest Table Tennis Championship. In a preliminary Donald Lang and Clifford Hauge will entertain the crowd with their comic interpretation of the game. In the other highlight of the sports world, Janette Grifiis and Bethene Zahm lead their respective teams into the finals of the Women's Natic nal Basketball Championshipf FLASH-Bob Bennett, Western star of MGM eloped last night with Arbelle Dixon, glamorous New York model. The ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. Glenn Q. Carriker. Edward Bratt, of the MGM cen- sor staff was best man. It was Mr. Bennett's fourth marriage. His for- mer wives were Dolores Devine, Irene Rooth, and Mertiebelle Reimer. . . . . . .The program over, we wander out into the street again. Walk- ing down the sidewalk We see Jean Peterson. Jewell Reimer and Pearl Stevens going into the Dion-Conlev Dress Shoppe. Suddenly above the noise of the street we hear the excited cry, Red-hot peanuts for sale- Red-hot peanuts for sale . .Sure enough, it is our friend of high school days, Marvin Barnes. LERN-NOTHING COLLEGE SUMMER QUARTER N th Annual Session Whosoever may think himself capable of evading judgment after having committed the ghastly deed of omission of school on a warm, i sunny October day usually finds himself in a very ticklish predica- ment.-Memorial donation by Hugh Sproul and Bill Krahn, dated 1939. Lern-Nothing College was founded by the late Clare Sidebottom, dau- ghter of the late Polycarp K. Sidebottom, son of the late Sebastain J.Side- bottom, who. was also late. The college was formerly called Sidebottom Academy, in honor of our beloved founder, but recently the name was changed in order that the nature of the school could be revealed at a glance. The object of Lern-Nothing College is to organize and maintain forever a school for the education of young people of both sexes in all the practical and useful arts, including avoidance of work, having a good time, and annoyance of teachers. The present director of the school is Robert Vincent. The Board of Trustees consists of Merle Moate, Harlan Harnish, Dwaine Bell, and Jeanette Griflis. The names of the faculty members will be found in the section, Courses of Study. ARBELLE DIXON G. A.

It was a night game and we came out second best after putting up a real fight. Score 6-0. We played our first home game with the Beloit B's. it was a non-conference battle and ended in a scoreless tie, 0-0. We opened our conference' season by taking two squads to Marengo for a night game. The second team lost, 6-0, but the first team made a good start by winning, 16-0. Harlem's second team came over to our field and beat our second tcam,12-0. Winnebago took their turn at our second team after school. We played on our own field and sent them home defeated, 19-6. Tonight both teams invaded Harvard. The second string played to a scoreless tic, while the first team was set back by Harvard, 9-6. Gus ran 101 yards for our only points. Homecoming! The hardest fought game of the season. It was scoreless until the last thirty seconds when two passes, one from Ellis to Krahn, and one from George to Krahn in the end zone put it over. Morris played a great defensive game and ran the extra point. Score 7-0. Wsfre proud of our team! Too bad, Winnebago! South Beloit's second team came here after school to play our second team to another tie. Score 7-7. Our first team went to Harlem to-day. It was an even match until in the first half Harlem intercepted a pass and ran it for a touchdown. The loss was hard to take, for twice in the second quarter we were in the shadow of their goal-posts. South Beloit invaded our gridiron this afternoon. Our first points were scored in the first half when Barnes flipped the pigskxin 55 yards to Krahn who carried it 30 more for a touchdown. They went home after being trounced to the tune of 14-6. 23 Cur Gridiron Heroes of 1939 This wear we were in a new conference and had the toughest schedule Hononegah ever had. Although we outscored our opponents 43 to 27, won three lost three, and tied one game, we ended up in third place. We present some of our star lettermen: Baker- Don was seldom fooled and his passes from cen- ter could be depended upon to be true. Shotliff- Shot , the cool headed field general, who was voted the man most valuable to the team. Krahn- Bill , a speedy man whose pass catching' ability always helped in the pinches. Sproul- Hugo , our big tough captain who could really go out there and hit hard. Carter- Don was a fast and very aggressive player. He will be a great help in future years. Barnes- Barney , our handif man, could be put in any po- sition and play it well. Morris- Bob , a heavy hard hitting man who has what it takes to be a fooball player. Ask Winnebago! George-- Gus is our triple-threat man. He can run, kick, and pass effectively. Three cheers for our 1940 captain! Ellis- Hawkeye did most of our ball carrying, Light, but fast and hard to catch when in the open. Flanders- Jim carried the ball on our weak side rever- ses, and was a good defensive man. Dicks- Dummy was light, but he had the dynamite that kept our team's spirit high. Vincent- Porky was a little iireball until an injury put him out of the last game. Hobart- Jim was a hard blocker and could take it. He was missed greatly when an injury took him out in the Beloit B game. 24 1939 Season's Scores FIRST TEAM Date Here or There School Sept. 15 There Fort Atkinson Sept. 22 Here Beloit B's Sept. 29 There Marengo Oct . 13 There Harvard Oct . 21 Here Winnebago Oct . 27 There Harlem Nov. 4 Here South Beloit Total SECOND TEAM.

Here are some of the boys who made this possible: BARNES-Barney was our reliable captain and showed his worthi- ness by scoring 223 points. Nice shooting, Barney! DICKS-He was elected next year's captain. He's short by makes up for it in his defensive ginger. SHOTLIFF-Dick was voted the most valuable- man on the team. A terrific offense was built around him. ELLIS-Hawkeye proved to be a mainstay and could be counted on to come through in the pinches with his left-handed hooks. KRAHN-Bill was a nice ball handler and did lots of good fighting down under the basket. BAKER-A sophomore with good possibilities. We'll all be watching for him next year. CARTER-A junior who surprised us near the end of the season. We're looking forward to seeing him go strong next year. CHAMBERLAIN-A junior who came in late but showed he could take it. Next year will give him a full sea son at Hononegah. GEORGE--A junior guard whose fast breaks can be used again next year. ' 27 The B-Team We also had a cracking-good second team this year. They played good ball, winning the finals at Pecatonica Holiday Tournament to add another cup to our trophy case. They ended the season by winning twelve out of nineteen starts for the fourth place in the North Six Con- ference. Some of the high scorers were: DALE McMASTER-A short junior, but a real dead-eye when he's on the floor. JIM FLANDERS-A good offensive player, doing his share of scor- ing with his left hand. BUCK OSBORNE-Our hurry-scurry man. He was all over the fioor at the same time. BILL COX-Our sophomore guard. With his ball-handling he can be very useful to the team next year. OWEN REIMER- Duke was a good ball handler and an aggressive guard. LAWRENCE HOBART-A junior who made a great deal of im- provement during the year. 28 Track Our track team made a good showing this year. We won four dual meets, two with Durand, one with Harlem, and one with South Beloit, by large margins. We placed fourth in a quadrangular meet with Winnebago, Beloit and South Beloit. We were strong in field events but rather weak on the track, except in hurdles. ' Bill Krahn was unanimously elected our track captain, and proved his worth in both hurdle events and the broad jump. Bill placed second in the hurdles in the fonference meet . Cliff Chamberlain proved to be our outstanding man, breaking two school records in the discus and broad jump. He also set a new conference record in the pole vault at the North Six Meet 'by vaulting ten feet, six inches. Most of our track men this year were underclassmen. We are really expecting them to go out and do a go od job next year.

Mert Reimer Secretary . .. .................. Dot Lang Program Chairman ...... Mary Lou Liddle Faculty Advisor ............... Miss Rice The Girls' Sports Club takes the place of the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion which we have had here in other years. The Girls' Sports Club started out this year with tumbling. Then during the first part of April when the weather was warm the young women's fancy turned to tennis. The old court had long since gone to seed and joined forces with the football field, so the girls took their spades land, incidentally, a few boysj and went to work on a new tennis court. To raise the necessary funds for its construction they sponsored a May Dance, with a May Queen and everything. When the courts were completed the girls had lessons in playing, and later they had a tourna- ment. When the golf season opened, the girls took up this sport. They sponsored a Swimming Party at the HY in April-not to raise money, but just for fun . 30 ,HX , VV'-qw . ', , -we. .VV ,, LL .. .,, ,, .V ...,, f UJ, . 1.

Mr. Hicks We have in our student body about fifty super scientific souls who meet the first Tuesday of every month and call themselves the Science Club. They ponder long over such deeply scientific questions as whether they would get better reaction at the next meeting with hamburgers and mustard-or should they serve hamburgers and mustard? fThe food is contributed by members so our bills won't run into gastronomical fig- ures.J New members are initiated at the beginning of each semester. We feel that to be truly scientific, the student must first understand the sim- pler forms of life, so we blind-fold him, and feed him the famous Diet of Worms. At the regular meetings we have interesting programs. One for in- stance, was about glass-blowing, and another about photography. 1 Home Ec Club President ...... . . . ....

They have taken up the lives of some of the famous composers, both living and dead, and played vic- trola records to illustrate their works. In April they sponsored a Sweater Swing to raise money to take their group to an operetta in Janesville. Vocal Contests This year Hononegah had threeentrants in the annual vocal contest -Richard Porterfield, Glenn Fisher, and Sybil Eddy. The first contest was held at Mt. Morris in March. All three of our contestants were given first rating in their respective groups This qualified them for the state contest at DeKalb on April 6. At this contest Richard was again given first rating, which qualified him for the national contest at Springfield in May. Miss Dale coached the soloists, and Miss Mary Louise Gayton accompanied them.

At Homecoming the band was out in full regalia, with the drum- majors, Irene Rooth and Dolores Devine, strutting their stuff , At the beginning of the second semester, Mr. Wesley Gallup took Mr. McEloy's place as band leader. 32 M A, ,ff .3 ' ' r 3. , Q ? . , E mifu 'mf A 1 H -1 um 1, sf nl 1 v f Student Council Every Monday during activity period the Student Council members and their faculty advisors meet to discuss the numerous problems that are of interest to both teachers and pupils. This furnishes an opportunity for exchange of ideas, encouraging a spirit of co-operation. This year the Council took a trip to Lanark to a Student Council con- vention. At this convention, Dawn Shotlifl' was elected secretary of Dis- trict I. On March 2nd the Council sponsored a Sadie Hawkins Dance. With the money cleared from the dance they went to Prophetstown to study a point system of grading used in the high school there. In December a new constitution was adopted. When a student is elected he remains on the council until he graduates, whether he is re- elected or not. OFFICERS FACULTY SPONSORS President ........

Ghost of the Inca Priest Warren Ellis .............. White Wraith night and a deserted house. Perfect setting for a little ghost walking. Carol, her brother Jerry, their Aunt Ann and Petunia, the colored servant, all stop at the deserted house to find shelter from the storm. They find all the' furniture covered with sheets, and over on one side of the room, a strange-looking Indian idol. Before long Robert Grayson, Carol's fiance, and Professor Arm- strong come to the house. Carol and Bob have had a quarrel, so things don't go too smoothly. It doesn't help matters when Bob tells Carol that he expects to inherit the deserttd hou se. He has received word that he is to come to the house at midnight to look for the will of his uncle, who died the year befre. And so the plot stickens. Involved, among other things, are a box of jewels, the idol with glowing eyes, ghosts, drums beating ominously, dectetives fiat-footing around, and a will that has a way of disappearing at critical momemnts. For those of you who saw the play, we won't have to tell all For those didn't, tfer shamelj suffice to say that it ended in the traditional man- ner-heroine in the arms of the hero, and villain in the arms of the law.

Our Rifle Club is such a popular organization that we have two sec- tions making about forty sharp-shooters in all. Most of their time is spent in actual range practice, using a regulation National Rifle Associa- tion junior target at fifty feet. Accurate shooting is of top importance in game conservation, because, we learn from authorities, more game' is lost by crippling animals and birds that crawl away to die than is actually put in the hunter's game bag. Pulling the trigger isn't the only thing that our rifle-shooters learn. Self-control and good sportsmanship are necessary. Some work is als0 being done on military drill, flag etiquette, and good citizenship. We have a fifty foot range in the gym with flood-lights turned on the targets. When the nice warm weather is here and the birdies twitter in the trees, the club members meet at their outdoor range in the gravel pit near the school. S'S-S-S--BOOM!--A-A-A-AH!! Our Rifle Club can really make the noise, but it has a close rrival in the Pep Club. The air-waves are kept pretty busy when the two clubs meet in 'the gym at the same time during the cold weather!

Mr. Hicks, the faculty sponsor with a scientific turn of mind, gives a few pointers on the wholesale manufacture of steam, 'cause steam is what propels the locomotive , you know. Come on, Pep Club, give us some more! ' 37 And the Engine --in the Ford makes the wheels go 'round. You don't know a single thing about a car-but you really want to learn to drive? Then the Drivers' Club is just the place for you! The school has arranged with the State Highway Department to have one of their men come to Hononegah in the spring and give tests so we can procure drivers' licenses. When we are all through with Drivers' Club for the year, even the girls will know what's under the hood of a car-in a 1929 model, anyway. Many students who already know how to drive belong to this club because of the valuable information they can get on state highway laws, and ways of handling their cars more efficiently. Our goal in this club is to bring about greater safety on the highway. The Tantrumu Cast of Characters Buny Hawthorn ........ ...... Ruth Stultz Tim ............ ......

The club has about fifty mem- bers who meet during the activity period on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Miss Rice is the faculty advisor for this group. Music for the dancers is furnishd by our Victrola records. Personal Grooming President . . . . . . Jean Conley Secretary ................... Irene Rooth Faculty Advisor ............ Miss Larson How to be beautiful-or at least make most of any good features we have-that's really worth knowing, girls. The Personal Grooming Club members have been discussing every- thing from permanent waves to manicures. Reports, often illustrated with drawings or magazine pictures have given the girls good ideas about choosing clothes and fixing their hair in styles suited to their personali- ties and the occasion. Dramatics Club Alright, now let's go through that last speech again, and get some expression into it! There are two divisions in the Dramatics Club. One group studies readings, and the other, one-act plays. Miss Brauer and Miss Larson have charge of these groups. Miss Larson directed a one-act play The Tan- trum , which was given at both South Beloit and Hononegah, and later at the Beloit Vocational School. 4l Off the Record South Beloit adds color to our athletic scene. . .Just shuffling around . . . .The Lone Ranger. . . .Coming orgoing, Dory?. . . . . . .Rear views and profiles.

Mr. Root The basic idea of this club is to permit the student to enjoy the part of photography that most people never contact. That is the part of de- veloping the negative and making the print. Though the process is simple, much technique must be employed before success is attained. It is only after a student has gone through the trials of success and failure that the terms under-development , over-exposure , etc., become significant to him. One of the items of interest that has been deve-loped out of the club is the discovery of an old camera, estimated to be about 75 years old, be- longing to one of the students. This camera uses old glass plate type of film. '42 1 X 'N ' 1 af . u .ii 1 A m f, Sz 5 Au 'lj' si Ti 1 J' n.- A - gi ...Q I.

He told us that it is the basic product of argon, for light globes: neon, for neon signs: nitrogen, for explosivesg oxygen, for welding and for the separation of helium from natural gas. Liquid air exists in our normal atmospheric pressure at a temperature of about 312 degrees below zero. Using liquid air, Mr. James froze mercury on the end of a handle, and used it as a hammer to drive nails. He perform- ed many other interesting experiments. ANTARCTIC- ' We learned a lot about life in the antarctic when Mr. Amery H. Q Bud J Waite was here. He has been with Admiral Byrd on some of his antarctic expeditions. Mr. Waite brought a pet husky, Ginger , with him. He showed us the kind of clothing worn by explorers in polar re- gions. Part of the garments were made of fur, but we were surprised to see what thin-looking cotton clothing could be worn with comfort in the antarctic. The secret lay in the close weave of the cloth. MEXICO- Three reels of colored movies on Mexico were shown before the as- sembly by Mr. Wright, of Beloit. Mr. Wright was in Mexico for a few weeks last winter and the winter before. His pictures gave us a glimpse into the beautiful scenery of Mexico, and the life of the Mexican people. ORCHESTRA- The Rockford WPA Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Copeland, came to entertain us in an assembly program. The orchestra started their program with classical and semi- classical music, and then asked for requests. From then on The Little Red Fox , Eighteenth Century Drawing Room , The Umbrella Man -songs dear to the hearts of our little jitterbugs-were the order of the day. , ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION- The Student Council held a round table discussion. The members told what they had learned of the function of student councils in other schools they had visited, This program helped the student body to see what type of work the student councils do, both at Hononegah and in other schools. S 43 NATIONAL HONOR- The new members of the National Honor Society were welcomed into the organization in March. Four old members of the society took part in the ceremony, Mr. Loomis gave a short talk, after which the initiates came up on the platform and took the oath, and lighted their candles from the candles of the old members. Mr. Loomis then presented the pins of the organization to the new members. THE LOMBARDS- The Lombards are always welcsme at Hononegah. They have given us some very entertaining programs which included music, both popular and classical and comedy skits. MAGIC- Want to see a rabbit pulled out of your pocket, or solid steel rings made into a chain? Mr. Loring Campbell is just the man to show you how it's done'-if yolu're quick enough to catch it. POTTERY- We saw pottery actually being made on the stage when the Polomene Potters presented their program here on April 26. They made it look simple enough, but we wonder what results we'd get if we tried it. School Banking Since the closing of the Rockton Bank in December, 1932, there have been no school banking activities here at Hononegah. This year, however, after a representative of Thrift, Incorporated, talked to the student body many sudents signified a desire to have an opportunity to deposit weekly in the school bank whatever they co uld afford. Accordingly, on Tuesday of every week between 11:20 and 11:30, every student can, if he wishes, make a deposit in the school bank. A representative from the Beloit Savings Bank comes down and picks up the deposits and keeps us sup- plied with passbooks and whatever other materials are necessary. This banking system affords an opportunity, if taken advantage of, to have money on hand especially during the senior year and, if- students would start as freshmen, they would be in a position to pay all gradua- tion expenses by the time they are seniors. The junior class mem- bers could use this banking scheme to a good advantage so that if they take a trip to Washington at the end of their senior year they could have their quota of cash available for trip use. 44 Man 5 , X T 1:m, g1av?

In the afternoon the team took care of Winnebago in the traditional Hononegah manner, and we 'were all feeling so swell about it that we could hardly wait that evening for Winston Saaf to get his orchestra tuned up so we could dance. When we came at 9 o'clock we found that somebody's cornfield had moved in ahead of us. There were corn shocks and pumpkins all around, and across one end of the gym we saw WELCOME ALUMNI. Contidentially, we had a grand time and thought the dance was one big success. I The committees in charge: ORCHESTRA: Dolores Devine, Mertie- belle Reimer, and Hugh Sproul. ADVERTISEMENTS and TICKETS: Bob Vincent, Irene Rooth, and Vemon Holcomb. DECORATIONS: Sybil Eddy, Barbara Gair and Glenn Carriker. Hi Ya, Santa! 'Santa Claus is a fella we're awfully glad to see around here. When he puts in his appearance it means a party and vacation for us! It's a bit irregular for him to make calls on the Friday before Christmas, but an obliging sort, he dropped in to see us at Hononcgnh on December 22nd . We got off to a good start with :- few peppy Christmas songs. Then Dick Shotliff, our budding playwright, put on a hilarious bit of comedy which he called The Dixie Land Chorus at the North Pole. It's really a shame that that New York critic missed his train. Might have meant your future, boys. Mr. Root drew the first present-life size baby-scales-the real Mc Coy!After that the pecuniary evaluation dwindley noticeably, and the rest of us got toy dogs, rubber balls, little dolls, rattles, and such. We just didn't rate, that's all. Come trip the light fantastic toe -well, anyway the idea is that after the presents had been opened we spent the rest of the afternoon dancing. Two of our special friends, Johnnny and the Little Red Fox, were there. They went 'round and 'round on the records lots of times. But don't quote us on that. 45 Kickapoos vs. Pottawatomies We dusted of our year's sales-talk, looked it over, and touched it up a bit. You see, the Woman's Home Companion Cspoken of on solemn occasions as Nick Englerl came to get our annual Magazine Contest under way. . This year the girls were the Kickapoos and the boys the Pottawa- tomies. With redskin names like that we really felt the old lndian spirit surging around in us. At the beginning of the contest the faculty chose Mary Lou Liddle and Dawn Shotliif as student leaders for the girls, and LeRoy Dicks and Dale Wetzel for the boys. Sybil Eddy was business manager. The teach- ers really enjoy being in on the noise-making, even if they won't admit it, Miss Larson was affiliated with the Kickapoos and Mr. Root with the Pottawatomies. Before this battle between the scalp-hunters began, we couldn't help noticing the looks of smug complacency on the faces of the Kickapoos. Winning had become such a habit with them that the Pottawatomies thought it was almost a vice, and made up their minds to clean up on the Kickapoos once and for all. The two tribes brought in a total of over 3600. Bob White and Dot Lang were the best go-getters in their respective tribes. When the final check-up came on the last day of the contest the Kickapoos were chagrined to find that they had been neatly scalped by the Pottawatofmies. Bob White, high salesman for the Pottawatomies, was given a nifty watch, and Glenn Carriker, second highest, received a pen and pencil set. Dot Lang, Kickapoo high sales gal, chose the suitcase, and Willa Jean Faust, second highest, the pendant watch. According to custom, the losing side threw a party for the winners. The Kickapoos decorated the gym with bright autumn leaves, and made the best of their defeat. All hatchets were buried pretty soon after the contest was over, 'cause as we Indians say, Pottawatomie love Kickapoo, and Kickapoo love Pottawatomieln 45 ' A' I 1 I K I , Fancy Seeing You Here! SEPTEMBER 5 School, like death and taxes just can't be avoided, so here we are. We have two newcomers on the faculty now. .Miss Larson from Fargo, North Dakota and Mr. Hicks from Wayne, Neb- raska. Welcome pedagogs! 15 Lost .... and our first football game too! Fort Atkinson was too much for us. Score 6-0. 19 Boys will be boys, but really Mr. Hicks, aren't you getting too old for blowing soap-bubbles-even with hydrogen? 22 We voted for cheer-leaders today. Dolores Devine, Mertie- belle Reimer, Jean Conley and Jo Gummow won out. We are also breaking in two of our big Freshmen for the job: Vic Ellis and Johnny May. 22 Hononegah vs. Beloit B's. Score 0-0!! Jim Hobart broke his thumb in the opening minutes of play. Tough luck, Jim. Are you superstitious? His number was. . . you've guessed .... 13!! 27 Nick Engler was here today and the magazine war is on again. The Kickapoos against the Pottawatomies. We're afraid there are going to be a lot of people with their scalps missing. 29 We played Marengo today and won, 16-0. H'ray for our side! OCTOBER 2 A battle was staged in English IV class today ..... Morpheus vs. Sproul. It was a grand fight! Too bad you lost, Hugo! 4 The Pottawatomies are falling by the wayside. What's the matter boys, getting tired? 6 The Magazine Contest is over. The boys won! They voted that the boys could bring girls from outside the school to the Magazine Dance but the girls couldn't bring boys from out- side. The meanies!! Lucky Seniors won the S5 by selling the most magazines per person. 8 Fire Prevention Week. The Fire Chief, Mr. Graves offered a prize of 52.00 to the person who could write the best theme on fire prevention. Ruth Stultz won it. Lucky girl! 13 Friday the thirteenth certainly ran true to form. We lost to Harvard 9-6. 47 Come on Team, !.et's Go! 17 A safety talk was given today by one of the State Polieemen. We learned that when a lady is driving a car and puts out her hand, she may be doing one of five or six things. Be on your toes the next time you see a lady driving a car! Remember 1t Can Happen Here ! 21 Aren't we proud though? It was our Homecoming and we defeated the undefeated Winnebago team 7-0. A large crowd attended the Homecoming Dance which was sponsored by the Athletic Club and the Seniors. 24 Hurrah! No more school until next week! The teachers have to go to school for three days. 24 The Magazine Dance will take place tonight. It's given by the girls. Wonder why the Freshmen are going around quivering in their shoes. Could it be because they are worry- ing about initiation tonight? 27 If we had won the game against Harlem we would have had a chance at the championship. The score? 6-0. Better luck next time, boysl. NOVEMBER 4 The Juniors are giving a dance. Come on you jitterbugs, alli- gators, rug cutters and what not, come and swing to the music of the Swing Kings! 7 Science Club members will initiate newcomers to the Club to night. Grab some spaghetti and egg whites and come along with us. We'll make life miserable for them tonight at least! 8 We ended our football season this year in a blaze of glory by defeating our rivals, South Beloit, 14-6. 10 Mr. McElroy and some of the members off the band gave us a taste this noon of what the Band Concert is going to be like tonight. Come one, come all!! The theme of the concert cen- ters around the Armistice. 17 Letters were given to our football heroes this noon. Coach Walker announced that Gus George would be the captain next year. Good luck, congratulations, and why not, Gus! 21 Seniors, look your best! Here comes Mr. Blankenberg. 48 Time Gut For Turkey Hmm, which Thanksgiving Day shall we take? It looks like the twenty-third because we're not having school tomorrow or the next day. The Seniors' proofs came back today. The halls were filled with groans when they were passed out. Plenty of thrills were in order on our first basketball game at Durand. We won 35-22. What, Thanksgiving again? and no school? Oh, ...... It's our bet that some of us will have to reduce after two Thanksgivings . DECEMBER We played a team made up of alumni of our high school and beat them. The girls played basketball this noon. Boys, did you get any pointers on how not to play basketball? Senior pictures came todav. Would that the gift to others be gie To see myself as I see me. ' Basketball Tournament was held tonight at Pecatonica. Our first team beat South Beloit 40-33. Second team win, 38-19. Why does everyone look so sleepy today? Wouldn't beds be a grand addition to the school? Pris thinlks The first team played Durand tonight, and won 41-30. Keep it up boys. Hurrah! Both of our teams defeated Winnebago tonight- We're the champs! Three cheers for those gowd old institutions of Santa Claus and Christmas parties at Hononegah! During the program Marvin Barnes and Don Baker presented to Mr. Loomis the basketball trophies won last night. We asked Marengo if thev rlidn't want to postpone the game but thev refused. So after three .nights of plaving we trounced them. It'a a good thing that we have a vacation. It will give the boys a chance to recunerate from the strain of playing four games in four nights. 45 Lost JANUARY 3 4 6 8 12 13 15 16 19 19 24 25 26 26 31 ln a Snow Draft Well, well, let's all turn over a new leaf and start the new year right.

We whipped South Beloit 31-20. Hurrah! Isn't it grand-we can sleep 10 minutes longer! School starts at 8:30. There are 9 periods now. Did you ever hear of having ninth hour without getting it from one of the teachers? The Lombard Players entertained us today with their songs, stories and piano playing. We played Winnebago last night and won 41-39 in two over- time periods. Did you see the write-up about it in the Beloit paper? They had Winnebago 93, Hononegah 41.
