He has seen our school increase in attendance, has managed athletic, music and debate contests, procured interesting speakers and entertainers for assemblies, listened with a smile to a multitude of requests and excuses which pupils have to offer daily, and made us ever conscious of his devotion to our interests and welfare. w l Y X I at icmotics . Our notebook of memories could not possibly be complete if we failed to give recognition to those men and women who guided us through these happy years. The ability of the faculty is best described in terms of their achievements. They have worked with the same spirit that characterized the founders of education in South Bend, and under their direction Riley has advanced and expanded to maintain its position among the leaders in the field of high school education. The Mathematics teachers have worked hard to impress upon their pupils the value of their Arith- metic, Geometry, Algebra. and Trigonometry, and have succeeded in turning out some excellent 'wizards of the figures' At anv rate, the Mathematics De- partment. under the able direction of Miss Clark, works untiringly to make their difficult subjects more understandable to their bewildered students. They have done. and are doing, a marvelous job on a big scale, and we remember them for itl One of the purposes of an education is to equip the individual to secure a livelihood for himself and those dependent on him. Riley offers to every pupil the opportunity to get the training necessary to start him on his vocational career. The aim of this vocational education is to give to the student a background of the knowledge of his trade and to develop skill, initiative, and self-reliance. If the Business Education Department is one which you have avoided, you will discover that you missed some interesting and valuable training. In the Business Education Department, the various classes in Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Salesmanship, Re- tail Merchandising, Typing, Business Correspond- ence, Commercial Geography, and Office Practice are sufficient to give the student a broad knowledge of the business course he is pursuing. The class work is only a part of the general education he re- ceivesg held work and practical training being as important as the hook learning. If you are happily married to a Riley girl ten years from now, and if your home is a model of per- fection, your fond wife probably majored in the subjects offered by the Household Arts Department. Household Management, Jr. High Household Arts, Clothing, Fine Sewing, and Foods round out a com- plete program. If you want examples of their results, just visit a Foods Class some day when they are preparing a tasty dinner. The girls buy and prepare their own food, arrange their own tables, and altogether have a grand time learning, in a practical way, how to run things smoothly. The sewing classes show their skill too-by giving a style show each semester. Every girl models her own creation, and the outfits are judged as to their workmanship and attractiveness. The girls show their enjoyment of these projects by the large number who elect the classes, and the teachers show theirs by continually hunting for new ways to interest their attentive pupils. 4-. . . . cience epartment Even when our high school days are a thing of the past, there are certain little memories we shall always cherishg Mr. Schubert with chalk on his coat sleeve and his genuine impartiality . . . Mr. Haw- baker,s jokes, followed by a blank silence and the timid, Do you get it?', . . . Mr. Wiatrowski's loud socks and winning smile . . . Mr. McCarnes, the go-getter, with his long legs and seven league boot stride . . . Those are the instructors who introduced you to the great mysteries and miracles in the realm of science. They are interesting subjects to take, especially when taught by such capable men. For them it must be a pleasure too, except for the fear that one of their illustrious proteges may suddenly discover a new faster-burning acid, or how to break down an atom. The aim of the department is to help students to understand the phenomena which occur. Courses are oifered in General Sciences, Biol- ogy, Chemistry, Physics, and Physical Science. ealth Department . Health was given little thought when your grand- parents went to school, but today it contributes to the training for good citizenship in so far as physical well-being and development is concerned. At Riley we are proud of the men and women in charge of Physical Education and the program they have in effect. In addition to the regular gym classes, the Health Department plans intramural sports for all grades, as well as holding classes in Health Educa- tion, which are designed to emphasize habits of per- sonal hygiene and individual health problems. One of the busiest of this group is Mrs. Conant, our school nurse. True to her profession, she does an amazing number of things well, without anyone noticing it. In addition to supervising the health of seventeen hundred people daily, and holding classes in Health Education, she also supervises the Mantoux testing programs for Seniors each semester. To her and each of the other members of this vital department, we owe our thanlcs for a job well done. , ff '1 5. .,. is ,gg if ,'N ,., , -'rr A 'LS' If al ' 1 t'NY'D1CT1'1 f'Q1 1I1'11.QCTOq In the eyes of the students perhaps the most out- standing characteristic of the faculty is the congenial and helpful attitude maintained by all of them, rather than a severe, extremely business-like manner which, considering the great multitude of tasks they must perform, might well be expected. From our principal, Mr. Kropf, who is noted for his pleasant and kindly mien, down to the least important of school cleaner-upers,', this characteristic is in evi- dence. The Foreign Language Department stands as an example of this helpful, yet capable attitude. Small, but compact, by working together, the members manage to accomplish more than their share of work to contribute to the Hnal goal-the culture of our students. This year, in addition to the regular courses in French, Latin, and German, a special course in Spanish was offered which is rapidly he- coming one of the best liked language courses in school. .nolisli lvmwarfmanf . . . Recognized as fundamental in every held of edu- cation, the English Department is not only arranged to adequately meet the three years required hy the state, hut to aiford as manv as ten elective courses in the twelfth grade. In its well balanced, complete curriculum, it tends to show the desirability of the knowledge of the principles of education, and goes as far as to give the student an understanding of these elements. The largest department in school. the faculty of the English Department instructs the students in every branch of high school English, speech. and literature. Their aims are to develop the power to think and to exprsss thought clearly, correctlv, and effectively, as well as to enahle the student to acquire standards as to what constitutes good literature. As a student's success or failure in all academic suhjects is determined largely hv his ahility to read the printed page, English is considered as the hasic suhject for all courses in our high schoal curriculum. It may be your misfortune never to have played an instrument or to carry a tune more than a bar or two, but you can never forget the Band, Orchestra, and Glee Club. The public appearances of these groups have been too numerous to mention, but it can be said that critics who know and understand music have ranked our instrumentalists and singers, as second to none in high school groups. Mention the Art Department and you imme- diately think of the rooms you hurried to for help on so many taslcs-and always received it. Both Miss Sanderson and Mr. West did their best to have you know and appreciate many of the beautiful things in life. Together these teachers have accom- plished much in their field of Fine Arts, and their- many classes in Junior High Art and Music, Com- mercial Art, Arts and Crafts, Interior Decoration, Costume Design, and Senior High Glee Club, Band, and Orchestra are among the most sought after im school. Be up and on your toes, girls! If, in a few years from now, a boy who graduated from this Indus- trial Arts Department 'pops the old old questionf he should have all the furniture made, a blue-print of a new house in his pocket, and his plans made for the indirect lighting system. Later, a lathe, and a workshop in the basement will repair any home appliance that needs attention-that is how thor- oughly the Department covers the ground. Truly here is a Department that accomplishes great things. Many a hoy has found his niche in life from the hours spent in shop while countless others have discovered a hobby that will fill idle hours in the future. Special instructions are offered in Junior High Industrial Arts, Trade Mathematics, Woodwork, Electricity, Machine Shop, and Mechanical Draw- ing, by a staff of highly-trained instructors. Here is another department to he praised for its high elli- ciency and valuable help to desiring students. The Social Studies Department voices its goal in one brief characteristic phraseg It is a place where young people are given the best possible preparation for life along educational, moral, and religious lines. Witli this goal, the Department has made itself one of the most interesting branches of learning in school. The curriculum is liberal and not only must the pupil show his skill in remembering dates and battles, but he must also be well versed in literature and science. The specific subjects taught are Social Studies, World History, United States History, Sociology, Economics, Civics, and to all students, Group Guidance is offered. And so we complete our faculty groups. We have tried to present them as we wish to remember themg always busy, always lcind, and always ready to under- stand and appreciate any situation. They are the finest interpreters of true Riley spirit we have. May we show our appreciation to them by each of us living the kind of life they would want us to live! ass Lponsors . . .

Green Caps . . . Oh, how fresh and oh, how green, just like lettuce or spinach, maybe, fit's a phase of lifel. We were unorganized the hrst two semesters, but we made up for that later. Sophomores . . . Now when we grew up, we got ideas. They were ideas worth putting into action, so-o-o-o we did! First in December we got sophisti- cated and had a cabaret party, with the gym deco- rated by an expert hand fi-emember?l. In May our Class Constitution was adopted, and we began to enter into the whirl of activities, making an excel- lent record. Whole-hearted participation in debating, athletics, and the various clubs showed that we were an up-and-coming class. Juniors . . . On October 20, 1938, while we com- pared our tans and sunburns, we began to lay plans for our Junior-Senior Dinner Dance. It was an out- standing party, and completely shadowed the other classes for several weeks. It was with this success that we became known as the 'pot 0' gold' class for everything we attempted was immediately a wow. As we took an increasingly active part in the doings,', we became more important in the life of Riley High. The climax of the year came in April with our play, The Thirteenth Chair. Never be- fore had a Junior play been so popular. Mary Dubin, acting as the weird seance-conductor, and Jack Swantz, the efficient inspector, laid them in the aisles. Seniors . . . At last we were the kingpins of the school. Social activities occupied much of our at- tention. For our last fling at Riley, we elected the following olficers to help us keep our ship afloat: President, James Earlyg Vice-President, Norman McDanielsg Secretary, Bonny Lee Alspachg and Treasurer, Elizabeth Kleinhans. Our last party was no exception to our other gay successes. It was our May Invitational in the Palais Royale. A grand affair, it was carried off in the true '40 fstream- linedl class style. On Class Day, May 24, the digni- fied seniors fbefore many snifiling Ma's and under- classmenj marched down the aisle to a medley of old favorites. The senior's program was given a big hand, and for the first time in school history, the Hoosier Poets were passed out on this memorable day. But what have we gained? Our years of high school have been a proving ground where we tested our capabilities and molded our personalities. Through our courses of study and our extra-curricu- lar activities, we have formed habits of getting along with other people, and we have gained ideals which will serve us well when we take our places in the world, attempting to leave our marks there, as we have left them in Riley High School. eniors ,...f-v BONNY LEE ALSPACH-A secre- ROGER W.

Facing by far the most extensive and diflicult schedule ever undertaken by a Riley debate squad, the team experienced a very successful season. The Riley speakers placed hrst in one tournament, second in another, and won many dual engagements for a season's record of forty-five victories in sixty-nine debates-better than three-fourths of their tries were wins. The squad was coached by Mr. Russell F.. Rhodes, who ably directed and assisted them in the question for debate, Resolved: That the govern- ment should own and operate the railroadsf, The third of last December, Mr. Rhodes took ren of his squad to Purdue. Mary Frances Littleton, Robert Reed, Glennadene Lane, Maurice I-Iawbaker, Delos Lonzo, Josephine Poyser, Rudolph Arnett, Dale Massey, James Hostetter, and Robert Goyer at- tended the meetings and discussions there. After coming back from Purdue, which is the high-light of the season, the teams had their meets with Central Catholic, Elkhart, Laporte, and Goshen. The Conference debates then followed. In the first part, held at Mishawaka, Riley won four and lost none, and in the second and third sets, Riley won four and lost two, capturing second place in the Conference. There are also debates and contests where the members enter singly instead of in teams. One of these is the American Legion Oratorical Contest with the topic, Some Phases of the Constitution. Bob Reed entered this, and with his talk on Lincoln and the Constitutionv defeated Central and Misha- waka to win the St. Joseph County title. Bob also won the Regional by defeating Elkhart and Laporte Counties, but he was finally stopped in the Divisional by a Gary speaker. No one from Riley ever before progressed so far and we're proud of Bob. In March the Indiana Discussion and the Rotary Discussion came up and Mary Frances and Bob Reed, and Robert Goyer and James I-Iostetter entered these. Mary Frances took second place in the Indiana Discussion, and James Hostetter third place in the Rotary Contest. This closed the 1940 session of R. I-I. S. debaters. Varsity speakers were: Afiirmative-Mary Frances Littleton, Bob Goyer. Negative-Bob Reed, Maurice I-Iawbaker.

LATIN CLUB The Latin Club began its year of entertainment, as well as education, by electing Mary Louise Gill as Presi- dent: Jean Short as Vice - Presidentg James Kollar as Secretaryg and John Adams as Treasurer. Their Dlans included at Matinee Dance, a Roman Banquet, a trip to Chicago, the annual Floralia, and a picnic. ROD AND GUN CLUB This brand new club has started off with a bang-and that doesn't mean they went around shooting either. The boys enjoy sports, movies during their club periods, and save their skill for their carefully plan- ned trips. President, Donald Mosher Vice-President, Tom Martin Secretary, Robert Phillips Treasurer, Francis Needham TENNIS CLUB Our fine tennis coach. Miss Mur- phy, and her assist- ant manager, Nor- man Gardner, use the Tennis Club as a proving - or an improving ground for new recruits. The club serves to devtlop interest in tennis, to weed out the good from the bad, and to stand as a stopping off place for team members. USI-IER CLUB When we scam- pered into 204 for our first meeting, we chose for our of- ficers Bertha At- wood, President: Richard Kling, Vice- President: and Al- bert Nall, Secretary- Treasurer. We had a busy year ushering at football games, and at programs and plays in the auditorium. G. A. A. CLUB Inspired, no doubt, by the food and fun at numerous picnic suppers, the G. A. A. girls found their plans for the w e e k 1 y meetings successful. Rapidly becoming one of the most powerful or- ganizations in school, the girls be- lieve in playing the game-win or lose! TYPING CLUB The wizards of the keys gather each Tuesday in Mr. Martin's Typing Club to pick up some extra pointers in their chosen art. They usually spend their club periods improving their speed or else trying to groom a national champ. Officers: President, Beatrice Boberg Treasurer, Irene Schultz SCREEN CLUB This club is another one of the valuable helpers of Riley. They run the noon movies, and help in many classrooms. The oHicers are: Albert Domonlcos, Presi- dentg Harold Wells, Vice- Presidentg Ray Brant, Secre- tary, and Billy Dews, Treasurer. SAFETY CLUB President Oral Eye, Vice President Billy Magee, Cap- tain Andy Thoma, and Lieutenant Bob Hudson head this up - and - coming club.

CHESS CLUB Our future national chess- champs are being developed in this clubg well, anyway, they've showed that they can beat the rest of us! Miss Shively and the boys work hard to improve their game, and their tournaments are fun for everyone. SENIOR SCIENCE CLUB The executives of the Science Club, D o n a l d Schrader, jack Newman, and David Henthorn, spend much of their time planning interesting projects, lectures, and discussions for the club members. Here is a typical club scene fhope they aren't figuring out a new explo- sivej. . . . l FGITIG President , , Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Many were the times during our high school years that we sat enthralled by Drama Club players- their smooth, exciting, performances a constant source of pride and joy. Working hard to keep up their reputation for efficient performances, each member has his own duties and attends to them in- dustriously. This club is one of Riley's hardest working organizations, and each member may be proud to call himself a Drama worker. This year for the hrst time, the club released two plays-each a Broadway hit. While Our Town and You Can't Take It With You are very un- -Iack Hildebrand Bonny Lee Alspach ,,,, ,..., . ,. Verna Mae Steele usual for a high school group to attempt, the mem- bers have found that such plays, when produced well, serve to increase attendance and at the same time bring more publicity to the club and the school. The annual banquet of the club, the formal initia- tions, and the club programs are all a part of the activities of these well-known students. Assisting, and advising the club is their faculty sponsor, Miss Estrich. Cooperating together, Miss Estrich and the members have made their club a working organiza- tion, and one which they can well be proud to call their own. ,' ' il g -,, 'f I' I .f V 3 , . I , i I' .

It's just that those gay Glee Club pictures make me re- member so many happy times! Remember the day we all went in to practice for our big event, the Spring Concert? Although we were a very active group, and sang many many times-our own concert was our proudest undertaking. We practiced vigor- ously for months, and when the big night hnally came, each and every one of us was up and on his toes-ready and waiting to show the very best we could do. Perhaps the largest factor in our success was the grand conducting of our director, Miss Kantzer. Her every movement had a significant meaning and her interpretation of a passage was given in such a way as to lend an unmistakable note of confidence to our tones. We knew what we were doing and the effect we wanted to get, and with her help, and the cooperation of every singer, we lived up to our expectations . . . Our concert had climaxed another year of successes. Beginning with our school assemblies, our church contributions, club programs, and special productions, our year was topped by out last performance and we were glad we had worked so hard to make it worth-while. Another season was over, and a warm glow of achievement was reflected in each contributor's happy eyes. This year our Cvlee Club bought their new robes. One hundred sharkskin robes of Northwestern Purple which shimmer and gleam above the foot- lights. It,s a grand group-well-organized, well- rehearsed, well-directed and beautifully robed.

A lot of credit is due to our hne coaching staff and the boys with whom they worked. These men and women must be given credit for the sports- manlike way in which the players carried themselves whether on the football field, on the track, the baseball diamond, the golf course, the basketball fioor, or the tennis courts. We are very proud this year to think that Mr. Wood, our hne football coach for the past 11 years, was chosen to be Director of Health and Physical Ed. in South Bend. The only drawback is that we will lose this grand Sp0rtSman. However, we should be pleased that we could keep Woodie with us this long, as his record of coaching and teaching has well established his reputation. With the turning out of such fine teams by Riley, public support has risen by leaps and bounds. Ca- pacity crowds were the rule all through the season rather than the exception. The students were always ready and eager to lend their voices in support of the teams, and every student was proud of the fine picture our athletes presented. F . Athletics l939:l94O in football Riley took fifth place in the N. I. I-I. S. C. with a year's totai of five wins and six losses. On the hardwood fioor our net men were especially successful capturing both the sectional and regional titles-a fact of which we were more than proud. The boys did a grand job and our disappointment at the semi-finals was bearable because of the pros- pects for another winning team next season. When this notebook went to press, the Wildcat baseball, track, tennis, and golf teams were just starting their schedules so we can only predict their year's outcome. With many veterans on the teams, the baseball season is sure to be a most successful one. Riley made a rather poor showing in the first track meet of the year, but Mr. Wakefield is lining up his men in such a fashion that we are sure he has something up his sleeve of which we will be proud. The golf squad has many old faithfuls back this year and the promise of a full schedule. The tennis team, Miss Murphy announced, will be built around two prom- ising stars of last year. Coaches Wood, Hoyle, McCarnes, Wakefield, and Koss. Miss Murphy, tennis coach and Mr. Shafer, golf coach, were not present when the picture was taken. llgasketball Notes . One of the Sweet Sixteenf' That was the justly deserved title given to Coach lVlcCarnes' team Of Wildcats when they fought their way into the Logansport Semi-finals after capturing the Sectional and Regional Crowns. lVIr. IVlcCarnes brought his team along slowly and carefully, winning his share of the games, but when tournament time came had put together one of Riley's finest basketball squads. The seasOn's review: WILDCATS WIN OPENER The Riley Wildcats inaugurated their season with an impressive 36 to Z3 victory over Lakeville. Keiter and Swantz led the well-balanced Wildcat attack with ease. RILEY SWAMPS GREENIES After a slow start that had us guessing, the Wildcats, paced by Swantz, turned on to over- power a fighting Green Township team, 61-23. CATS TROUNCE WALKERTON Employing their fast finish and under the basket technique, the Riley five defeated Walkerton, 48 to 33, in a loosely played contest. Snoz Fisher assured a Wildcat victory with his twelve points. BULLDOGS BITE THE DUST In a battle with the Nappanee Bulldogs, the Rileyites clicked for a 29-Z2 win. The Wildcats began to function as a unit, and Keiter and Swantz learned the value of their defensive tactics. RILEY WHIPS WAKARUSA INDIANS Chuck Keiter and Curly Swantz placed Riley in the driver's seat for this victory over the Indians of Wakarusa. After the first team skyrocketed Our score, they left the winnings to the reserve five in the second half. PURPLE AND GOLD LOSES FIRST CONFERENCE TILT To be handed the first defeat of the season fit had to be a conference foej by Nlishawaka, set the Cats back on their heels. Concluding that their de- fense was greater than our offense, the team set to work . . and work they didl TRICK SHOT SAVES WASHINGTON With both teams as evenly matched as possible, one of the hardest fought battles of the season ended in a Riley downfall, 23 to 25. The game was tied in the linal quarter, but luck was with the Panthers and a quick shot, in the overtime, sent them ahead. VIKINGS WIN FROM RILEY 27 TO 25 With a final spurt in the last quarter, Hunting- ton came from behind to defeat a plucky Riley squad. Fisher, lVlcDaniels and Keiter amazed the spectators fbut not lVlcCarnesj with their consistent long shots. SLICERS SLICE CATS The Riley Cats lost their much-wanted conference game to a powerful Laporte five, 39 to 30. Laporte was in tunen and made their own breaks. High scoring honors of the evening went to Keiter for his eleven points. WILDCATS BACK ON TI-IE WINNING TRACK The Cats were in their best form to win from McDaniels, Keiter, and Fisher taking it easy . . . Swantz, Yeakle, and Vodick . . . Could we help, boys? an ailing Culver five, 47 to 17. Back to their famous clicking unit, Riley had found themselves and started their drive to win. RILEY MAKES HISTORY Hurrahll For the first time in South Bend bas- ketball history, the Wildcats defeated an Elkhart fivell And what a gamel A right defensive struggle, each team scored in spurts-with Riley coming out on top with a score of 21 to 191 CATS SEEK REVENGE-AND GAIN IT The Riley five came back to avenge an early sea- son defeat by Mishawaka to the tune of 29 to 24. The Cats captured the lead at the first of the game, and held it bottled from then on. REDSKINS SCALP RILEY WILDCATS Goshen and the grippe joined forces and handed Riley a 26 to 20 defeat. Witli four of the seven regulars weakened with severe colds-the Cats failed to click for any length of time. RILEY VICTOR OVER LAFAYETTE FIVE Showing great signs of improvement over the last few games, the Riley team defeated a small but fast Wfest Lafayette squad 38 to 21. Turning on the heat in the last quarters, the Cats came out in the lead. BEARS TRIM RILEY WILDCATS Superior marksmanship enabled the Central Bears to clamp a 40 to 29 defeat on Riley. Nick Vodick and Norm McDaniel kept Riley in the game by their famous consistency in placing that ball. RILEY NIPS MICHIGAN CITY The Wildcats again seemed to have found their stride by defeating a strong Michigan City unit, 52 to 38. Chuck Keiter, Norm McDaniel and Nick Vodick were the three who caused the Devils so much trouble. THREE POINTS IN FORTY-FIVE SECONDS Coming from behind in the last quarter, the Wild- cats scored three points in forty-five seconds to eke out a 33 to 36 win over the disappointed North Liberty squad. LOGANSPORT TAKES RILEY 41 TO 39 Riley extended its best brand of basketball only to lose to a fast-breaking Logansport live. Swantz and Keiter held high scoring honors. CATS RALLY FOR FINAL CONFERENCE GANlE Led by McDaniel and Swantz, the Riley squad defeated a Nappanee team 38 to 23. This game closed Rileyls regular Season with 13 wins and 7 losses. The Sectional RILEY TAKES FIRST SECTIONAL GANIE The Wildcats had little trouble in piling up a 51 to 14 victory in their first sectional game. Fight- ing from the first whistle to the gun that ended the game. the Cats forced the Indians of Wfalkerton to the floor. HISTORX' REPEATS ITSELE The game got Off to a fast start with both Riley and Green Township using everything they had. 1-listory repeated itself in that the Cats beat the hard-fighting Indians again in this season.

The score was close and it was any man's ball game till the final gun. In the last thirty seconds of the game, Chuck Keiter sunk his only field goal of the evening to break the tie of 31 to 31 and clinch the game, 33 to 31. Having won the sectional, the Wild- cats turned their attention toward the regional at Plymouth. The Regional RILEY CINCHES FIRST REGIONAL TILT Paired with Plymouth in this first game of the regional, the Wildcats played a tight defensive style to win 28 to 21. Plymouth had one of the scrappiest fives that the Riley team had run into all season, but they came through with flying colors to wait for their second game. THE REGIONAL is CONQUERED Both teams, being tall, were slow to get started: but the Wildcats came through to score 17 points in the last quarter to tie up the game. Rochester played a clean and fast game but lost to our Cats, 44 to 32. More determined than ever, the team turned its hopes and directed its efforts to the semi- finals at Logansport. The Semi-Finals HAMMOND STOPS RILEY AT THE SEMI-FINALS The Wildcat,s first fand lastl game in the semi! hnals proved to be a disappointment-to Riley fans. Playing the Tech quintet on even terms for the first three quarters, a fourth quarter spurt of the Ham- mondites defeated our Wildcats 33 to 23. Ham- mond played a great defensive game and kept the ball under control. That last quarter saw both teams playing inspired hall. The Cats were never too far behind to be counted out of the game, but they couldn't keep the lead even with the boys turning in some of the finest playing of their prep career. The Cats having gone a long way toward state, rest- ed on their laurelsg and with about half of the squad left, look toward a different ending next year.
