IVY DAY POEM Our lives shall be as yours, O fragrant Ivy ! Who start your climb in life so low and small, Who, reaching, fighting upward, ever upward, May sometime climb up to God ' s wondrous hall. The fight up to the heights has only started, In years to come you ' ll climb far up the wall. You must not lose your verdancy so glorious Lest by the way you falter and you fall. Our lives like yours have started very lowly, Our lifelong fight in this world just begun. The years of toil we ' ve spent have been rewarded, In life a firm foundation we have won. Our verdancy is that great store of knowledge. Our earthly fight is up the business wall; May high ideals be with us in the battle, And may we climb up to God ' s wondrous hall. Robert Folk, ' 28. SENIOR PLAY (Continued) Being poor has its compensations, said John Bruce; ar.d he certainly found it true. John Bruce, a wealthy Wall Street magnate, returned to his home town with the idea of building a factory for his people. The plot of land John wants for his purpose is owned by Abner Ketcham and is being made into a cemetery. Abner refuses to sell his land, but John finds a way of securing it, through Benny Ketcham, a super salesman and Abner ' s nephew. John thinks that everybody is nice to him only because he had money and all they want is financial help from him in some way or other. Charles Martin, John ' s business manager thinks differently and bets him a thousand doilars to a big red apple that if he were poor, people would be nice to him anyway. John decides to try a scheme and see whether this is true. John evidently found that Martin was right, for a startling announcement of a big business failure is made, in which Mr. Bruce owns only a few shares, causes all the people to suppose he had lost all. On this reputation he takes the position of hotel clerk and wins the respect of all and also wins the love of Nora Mullet for himself alone. 49 lioL 5 v;- l8l5fe , === 5 § C =£ 3 fe ZZZZ. CLASS HISTORY Characters: 1. Skipper Alfred Bay. 2. Authoress Miss Lewis. Setting: Small Porch. ACT I. Miss Lewis approaches porch preparing to write and she finds Skipper Alfred Bay on the mat before the door. Skipper Bay — Lady, could I interest you in some wire kitchen ware? Miss Lewis — I have everything I need, and I am also too busy to buy. Besides it is my principle never to buy on the stoop. Skipper Bay shoulders his bundle of goods and turns to the steps with a cheer- ful smile. Skipper Bay — Good Morning. Miss Lewis — I believe I could use a gridiron. Skipper Bay — Why certainly. It is natural to all to experience a change of mind. Over little things as over great. And both you and I are no more than children of nature. Miss Lewis buys a gridiron. Old man again turns to the road but he calls back. Skipper Bay — I could tell you how to make oatcakes if you ' d like me to. Ma ' am. You ' d find it useful for that thing you ' ve bought. Miss Lewis — You must be Scotch. Skipper Bay — English Ma ' am, but born and raised in Scotland. Bay is my name. Alfred Bay of the Good Ship 1928. Aye, the Good Ship 1928. Ma ' am I could tell you — I ' ve seen — (Skipper Bay goes nearer to Miss Lewis with outstretched hand. He is seeing visions of the past.) Our ship, among those of other proud nations, won first place at the Springfield State Exhibit held in August 192 7. Again 44 of the crew were elected to the Key- stone and Torch Honor Society. Aye — 13 of them in the Junior year. And for the most brilliant of the mountain-climbers there were special rewards. In our Freshman year at sea George Switzer and Helen Rice won the Robert Adam Awards. Helen Rice also had the highest average of any girl in the whole fleet in 1924. In 1925 George Switzer and Gail Yaggy won the award. In our third year George Switzer and Ruth Frob ' sh won. George Switzer outdid himself (having the highest average of any boy in school.) Special awards were won by Raymond Tremelling in June, 1926, for winning the State Band Solo Contest. In 1927 Helen Rice and Harold Emiley received awards for winning the State Orchestra Solo Contest. And the National Championship Band — 25% of it was made up of our crew. But I must not keep you from your work, Ma ' am. I ' ll be getting along. Good day to you. Miss Lewis hastily rings a bell. Ruth, the housekeeper, appears. (Continued on Page 192) ADDRESS TO THE JUNIORS Mr. Chairman, Friends and Juniors: We have come to a parting of the ways at last. We are sorry, indeed, on your account, Juniors, for we know you will have a hard time getting along without us. We ' ll have to admit, however, that your choice in taking such an outstanding class as ours for your model was a decision upon which you should be congratulated, and one which may ultimately enable you to reach those starry heights to which you so zealously aspire. Of course you will have to work very hard in order to approach the standards that we have set. You must endeavor, however, insofar as your ability permits, to uphold the ideals and traditions of the school. For instance, you should try to develop a girls ' basketball team like ours, and to contribute a goodly number of star men to the boys ' basketball teams and football teams as we have done. Nor is athletics the only field of school activity to which you must give heed. You must attempt to fill our places in the Student Council, J-Hi Stars, Orchestra, Band and many other extra-curricular organizations in which we have held leadership. We know very well that advice about personal conduct is hard to take, but really you must outgrow your childish ways. I was shocked almost to death one evening, as I was coming down the hall, to find La Verne Richards and Mabel Snider playing Post-Office. If they had been Seniors, you may be sure they would have been more circumspect in their actions. Worse yet, your behavior away from home has been shameful, as when some of your notorious members were caught playing leap-frog over chairs at the Rockford Hotel by the House Detective, thereby defaming the glorious name of J.T.H.S. which we have so zealously striven to hold aloft. Nor will outgrowing these babyish ways alone assure your attaining your starry goal. In addition, you must study diligently that you may have an honor roll which will not compare too unfavorably with that of your predecessors whose interest in their studies precluded a Senior party. The production of the Senior play is a stupendous undertaking; as yet you have shown no outstanding talent in this field, but we have hopes that during the ensuing year, under Miss Dicky ' s patient and dynamic tutelage, you will be able to acquire sufficient skill to meet with honor, this crucial obligation. And so we wish you success in the future. May you be worthy of our faith in you. Irene Mahaffey 52 PRESEXTATIOX OF THE CLASS MEMORIAL Mr. Chairman, Dr. Smith, Seniors, and Friends: This week means a great deal in the lives of all of those who are graduating in this class. It means on one hand the end of several years of traveling along the more or less hard road of knowledge. It is the end of the first step in ' gaining our knowledge of the world. On the other hand it is the beginning of a new world which is opening before us as a road with many forks. Some will take that fork which leads to college, universities or other institutions of learning. Others will take that fork which leads to business schools and business. But to all of them, whichever road they take, or whatever they become in the future, this week will stand out as a milestone in their lives. For the last four years the members of the graduating class have been coming to this building, trying to become acquainted with knowledge, learning to understand and uphold the ideals which are a part of the scholastic training that everyone ought to have. They will look back with pleasure to their years that are just past, to the friendships which have helped to make these years most pleasant ones and which will remain through the years to come, to the honors gained by them which help to honor the school, and finally to the teachers who have helped them in the pursuit of learning. And now as the time nears when the members of the graduating class must separate on their different courses, they wish to do something which will show their appreciation and their love of this school, which will remain after they are long gone and will remind others that they were once in this school of which we are so proud. So with this purpose in mind the committee charged with this most important duty of choosing a class memorial have chosen a mural painting. It is now my pleasure as a representative of the senior class to entrust this painting to your care, Dr. Smith, to be held as a trust sacred to all the classes which are to follow this one. From this time forward this picture belongs not to this class alone but to all the classes which have graduated before us and who will come after us. To the Seniors this picture means a great deal. Through it we hope to express to Dr. Smith and to the Faculty our appreciation of what they have done to help us to a better understanding of what education stands for. To those who follow us we hope that it will be an inspiration to help them to a better understanding of the ideals of this school, to awaken in them a liking for beautiful things and finally to help them to attain high standards of character.

This flag was adopted by our forefathers in the early days of the Revolution, and under its fold they pro- claimed themselves a free and independent people. Its red typifies the blood which was shed for freedom, its white is emblematic of the purity of the principles upon which our government was organized, and its blue represents the devotion and the loyalty of the founders of the Republic. Our Betsy Ross flag has become a precious part of the tradition of our school; it has witnessed our growth and has inspired us to finer achievements. We are fortunate indeed that an occasion has thus been established for recalling and for re-dedicating ourselves to the ideals which are symbolized in the flag. As president of the Class of 1928, I present this flag to you, the Class of 1929. Your duty is to watch and protect it thruout the coming year. Love, honor, and reverence it and the principles for which it stands. May you prove yourselves worthy of your trust! Bv Donald Munch. QZX%® ACCEPTANCE OF THE BETSY ROSS FLAG FOR THE CLASS OF 1929 Dr. Smith, Mr. Munch, and Fellow Students: We accept this Betsy Ross Flag as a symbol of the alliance between education and our state, an alliance in accord with the assertion of Diogenes that The founda- tion of every state is the education of its youth. We students working in our classes and in other school activities are as truly in the service of the nation as any adult. Our part is to do our best to assure a lasting foundation for our state. And so, Mr. President, I am honored and delighted to assume the protection of this beloved flag on behalf of the Class of ' 29. We promise to guard it loyally during our year as seniors and then to pass it on to the Class of 1930. But the traditions and the lofty ideals of which it is emblematic we shall always hold in high regard and strive to maintain thruout our lives. Bv Robert Harris. 54 Hufford, Cobb, Henrick, Smith, Ristau, Barber, Sec. ; Scotland, Jo THE CLASS OF 1929 President Robert Harris Junior Committee Gertrude Barber, Francis Cobb, Irene Glasscock, Janice Jones, Janet Levine, Audrey Mills, Bernice Ristau, Beatrice Scotland, Harold Smith. This is the class of ' 29 speaking. All hail, for this is the last time that this famous and wonderful class speaks as Juniors, for when next we speak we will be the mighty Seniors. But, looking backward, on the past year, we look with pride upon our achieve- ments in scholarship, music, athletics and in social affairs. This year we have given two parties, the Junior circus party which had all the novelty and fun of a circus, and the Junior-Senior prom, the million dollar dance which we gave in honor of the class of ' 28 to show our appreciation of their merits and to wish them in saying farewell much success in their undertakings in the future. May they be as successful in later life as they have been in J.T.H.S.

II SSw SSs Sg XJ 72 THE COACHES Coach Becker — ' Beck is known all over school as the head of the heavy- weight coaching staff and a go-getter. With ten men from last year ' s football squad back, he organized a championship team. E. Aurora was the only team to cross the heavies ' goal line all season to enable them to win. In basketball his team won third place in the Big Seven Conference, won the district tournament and was defeated by W. Aurora in the semi-final of the sectional tourney. Coach Wykoff — Wyk , head lightweight coach, was sadly handicapped dur- ing the year in having less than a handful of his former teams back in either football or basketball. He acquitted himself honorably, however. Coach Rane — Assistant heavyweight coach and a great help to Beck ' ' in rounding green material into shape and filling the whole squad with pep. Coach Huffoed — An assistant lightweight coach who is always on the job scouting out material and getting men to report for practice. Coach Fargo — Our head athletic coach and track mentor. His district and sectional tournaments turn in more money to the State Athletic association than any others in the state. BLUE AND GOLD HEAVYWEIGHT FOOTBALL The Blue and Gold heavies finished a very successful season, winning eight, tying and losing one game. The team showed much fight and wound up in undis- puted possession of second place in the conference losing only to East Aurora. Joliet rolled up 211 points as to their opponent ' s 12. All 12 points were scored by East Aurora. Joliet opened the season against Marseilles. This game proved to be only a romp for the Iron men, Marseilles losing 65-0. The team showed much promise in this game. The following Saturday Joliet played Pontiac, defeating them as decisively as Marseilles. With Munch, Rentner, Seppi and Slack leading the offensive the strong Blue and Gold team rolled up a 51-0 score against the invaders. Coach Becker ' s pupils journeyed to Freeport a week later to open the confer- ence with the Pretzels. A steady driving game won for Joliet on a wet field. Joliet made 18 first downs to 3 for the Pretzels. Sabotnik is credited with playing his best game here. He seemed to be in every play. With Munch, Rentner, and Emerson doing the running the Blue and Gold carried the ball to the 20-yard line where a pass, Emerson to Fuller, scored the first touchdown. A few minutes later Munch went off tackle from the 12-yard line for Joliet ' s second touchdown making the final score 13-0. The following Saturday Joliet ' s Iron Men turned back Elgin, sending them home with a 12-0 defeat in their bags. The feature of the game was a 70-yard run by Slack on return of a punt. The first score came in the first quarter. After a 74 series of end runs and line smashes by Emerson, Rentner and Munch, Emerson went over for the first touchdown from the eight yard line. Elgin tried hard to score in the second quarter, working the ball down to the Joliet 1-foot line where they were thrown back three yards in four attempts to score, the credit going to Wekerlin and Tub Kelly. The second touchdown came in the third quarter after a series of long runs by Rentner and Munch. With the ball on the five yard line Rentner tore off tackle for a touchdown, making the final score 12-0. Joliet played Harrison Tech the following Saturday, keeping everything under cover for East Aurora. The Iron Men had little trouble in winning with a score of o-O. Busch was the most consistent gainer and Smatlak, all-Chicago back, played a brilliant game in the line. Joliet suffered their only set back of the season at the hands of East Aurora by a 12-3 score. East Aurora scored early in the first quarter being evenly played. In the second half Joliet opened up the score when Emerson made a dropkick from the 25-yard line. Joliet started strong in the second half with Munch and Rentner carrying the ball to East ' s two-yard line when Busch scored on a sweeping end run. Officials called the ball back, claiming Aurora was not ready on defense. Again Becker ' s men scored, but a back was in motion and the ball was called back again. On the last attempt the Iron Men failed by inches and Aurora punted out of danger. On the next kick-off Aurora failed to gain and Joliet by straight football carried the oval to the Red 25-yard line. Joliet elected to pass and Witte intercepted and ran it back to our 5-yard line. Failing to gain he kicked his second field goal. Joliet tried desperately to score in the closing minutes by forward passes. Two first downs placed the ball in midfield, but Gosselin intercepted a p ass and turned it into the only touchdown scored against the heavies all season. The Friday after the East High game Joliet played the Lindblom sophs, having no trouble in winning 25-0. The second and third teams played most of this game. Joliet played in West Aurora ' s new stadium on the following Saturday, being held to a 0-0 tie by a fighting West Aurora team. Joliet had only one real chance to score when a series of end runs by Munch and Busch put the ball on the one-yard line, but Joliet failed to score in four attempts. Joliet made over 250 yards from scrimmage, but used bad judgment in the pinches. Seppi intercepted a pass and almost scored. For the first time in eleven years Joliet defeated Rockford, and what a defeat that was. For 47 minutes of hectic football neither side scored. With only two minutes left to play two long passes and Rentner ' s 30-yard end run put the ball on Rockford ' s 35-yard line. Then Emerson stepped back to the 44-yard line and coolly drop-kicked from a difficult angle for the winning points, the final score being 3-0. This was a battle between the 2 strongest lines in the conference, with Wenck, Rentner, and D. Kelly standing out. The credit for this victory belongs to the line as well as to the backfield. It was their splendid work that stopped the hard-hitting (Continued on Page 87) BUSCH: — Best end running back on squad. Fair passes and pass receiver. Shifty in open field.

Folk and Racster in the backfield, Mutz and Shannon at guards, and Jones at center. After the first few games Booker and Oliver joined the squad. During the season the team won two, lost six, and tied one. PLAINFIELD In the first game, Plainfield bowed to the ponies 6-0 in the hottest day imagin- able. Because of the heat the game was played in eighths. In the th ' .rd quarter Brown plunged through center from the four-yard line for a touchdown after Henderson and Schmidt had carried the ball down the field. Henderson made the point after touchdown by an end run. POXTIAC Pontiac met the lights, and both teams battled back and forth in the center of the field in a scoreless game 0-0, Brown ' s punting being the only spectacular work of the day. FREEPORT In the first conference game the Blue and Gold minors were downed by a fast, hard hitting Freeport outfit 19-0. In the first half, the team suffered an attack of stage fever and gave the Pretzel ' s their chance to score 19 points. In the second half Joliet came back and played the rest of the game on even terms. Freeport was penalized 65 yards and Joliet only IS. (Continued on Page 174) JONES: — took charge of center — a real man ' s job on any team and bore the brunt of both the offensive and defensive work in a creditable manner. MUTZ: — another senior, reliable and willing to handle a guard position in a manner that will cause him to be missed next year. BOOKER : — not much in weight but with worlds of speed. He was indespensable in carrying the ball on end runs and open field plays and a regular demon on defense. OLIVER: — playing his third year at quarter was still able to hold his place in the eyes of the fans and showed more speed than ever. B. BROWN: — New to the game and to the squad. Has a punting toe that would win him a po- sition on any team. Will probably become a triple threat man next year. SCHMIDT: — playing his first year of high school- football gave a good account of himself in spite of his diminutive size. FOLK : — left over from last year ' s championship team was adaptable and versatile enough that he could be counted on to deliver the goods wherever he was put. SECOR: — at end played h : s first year of football and with the experience gained should be a menace to all foes this fall. GARAVAGLIA : — an end, willing, studious, and a do or die spirit that more than made up for his lack of experience. SING : — is a good-sized, good-natured tackle, though new to the game came through in fine shape and his loss in the final game was keenly felt. HENDERSOX : — a real midget and a senior, plaved his first and last year of high school football as a dodging halfback. LINDBLAD : — at tackle was a tower of strength on defense and we will all miss him in that position when next fall rolls around. WM. KELLY : — not being able to stay in school did not complete the season. Could he play foot- ball? He was Irish ! ROBINSON: — at guard was regarded by his op- ponents as a small man to be avoided and in running interference his work advanced the ball many yards. REED : — a guard would have been a whirlwind in another year but being a senior he must leave us. ft M s - s Ss l? m P hlM V_ti4£i£sfev;=E 79 HEAVYWEIGHT BASKETBALL The Joliet High School Heavyweight basketball team won eight out of their fifteen games during the playing season. They scored 293 points to their opponent ' s 271. Rentner had the scoring honors with seventy points. STREATOR The Blue and Gold heavies opened the season with a practice tilt with Streator and lost a hard game by a score of 21-18. CRANE The second game was the team ' s first home game, and they satisfied the local fans by beating Crane 17-14. ELBURX Elburn won from Coach Becker ' s charges 19-18 when a foul was called on Joliet in the last few minutes of play. Elburn missed, but was given another try, due to the booing of the Joliet fans. EAST AURORA Joliet opened the conference with a victory over East High of Aurora to the tune of 24-21. The iihie and Gold took the lead at the start of the game and held it till the final gun sounded. The jumping of Rentner, the shooting of Munch and the close guarding proved too much for the Aurorans. Joliet made eight field goals to six for Aurora. Only Witte ' s baskets kept East High in the race. GARDNER The Heavies journeyed to Gardner on Friday the 13th and their luck stayed at home as they lost 23-14. The game gave Coach Becker a good lineup on his substi- tutes as many were used. HARRISON TECHNICAL On the next night Harrison Tech of Chicago played the locals and lost 29-11. Sohmers and Munch were high point men for Joliet. ELGIN The Watchmakers proved too much for the Blue and Gold on their own floor winning from Joliet by the score of 24-9. Taking the lead in the first quarter Elgin held it thruout the game. This game was the last one in which Don Munch could wear the Blue and Gold uniform of Joliet and all tried hard to make it a victory. Long baskets by Harding and Walser spelled defeat for us. DE KALB Next week Joliet trimmed DeKalb in easy style 33-10. The first half gave no indication of the score as it ended with Joliet with a two point margin 10-8. The third quarter found Joliet with lots of fight left and the scoring showed an improve- ment as the frame ended with a ten point lead for the Blue and Gold. In the last quarter the Barbs were unable to score a point. WEST AURORA Coach Becker ' s charges won a nerve racking game from West High of Aurora in the home gym by the narrow margin of 18-15. The game was even thruout the first three quarters first one and then the other forged ahead. At the beginning of the last frame the score read 15-13 for Aurora and remained that way for the first four minutes then Wheeler broke away and made a basket to even things up. Longley scored a point via the free throw line and a moment later dribbled down the floor and scored a basket to give Joliet a three point win. STREATOR Led by Virgil Dixon, Streator captain, the Downstaters emerged victorious over Coach Becker ' s tired basketeers by the score of 28-12. The Beckermen appeared tired from their game with West Aurora the night before. Longley was high point man with four markers for Joliet while Hart led the attack for Streator with 16 points. ROCKFORD Rockford won from the Biue and Gold by the score of 21-19 after two overtime periods had been played. At the end of the first quarter Joliet was leading 7-4; at the half Rockford was still trailing 12-10, and at the start of the last period the score was 15-14 in favor of the Beckermen. At the end of the game the score was deadlocked at 17 all. In the first overtime period Bush made a free throw but the referee declared he took too much time. In the second extra period Bush made a basket and Mead of Rockford followed with a neat shot from the center. Johnson duplicated Mead ' s shot as the gun sounded. This game gave Rockford the conference. FREEPORT A last minute rush beat Freeport and enabled the Blue and Gold heavies to close the Conference season with a win, 24-23 after an overtime period. Freeport led (Continued on Page 91) ■ggSv | J xM5 e 3 £= = w im £ •R,oL %Jk |§gjg% H iMzS-is RENTNER (Center) : — Secured tip-off consistently and drove hard on short shots. Leading scorer. Defense and all- ' round play greatest seen in tournaments. Calumet City game outstanding. Ail-Conference Center. L. BUSCH (Forward) :— Substitute, whose play while not polished, earned him letter. His points in overtime won from Freeport. Better defensively, in general play. WHEELER (Center) :— Shifted from eastern to western style of game in one year. Reach made him valuable defensively. Opportune intercep- tion of passes in Freeport and West Aurora games helped win them. LONGLEY (Guard) : — One of the leading scorers among conference guards. Helped pull West Aurora and Freeport games out of fire, by ac- curate shots in closing minutes. Good long sleat man, with accurate floor pass. SLACK (Forward) : — Speed and quick break utiliz- ed by turning him into general utility player. Used at both guard and forward. Scrappy, with quick break and good defense. J. BUSH (Forward) : — Best free-thrower on squad. Excellent basketball head. Quick break and dead eye make him one of best in conference. Fast on floor play and good feeder. Work in tournaments outstanding. D. KELLY (Guard) : — A substitute, whose game improved as season progressed. Developed good long shot and accurate free throw. Should be valuable man next year. EMDIN (Forward) : — Long shots his specialty. Ac- curate from free line. Taken over on tourna- ment squad, he led team in points scored. Keen basketball sense. More rugged physique would have aided his game. OLDANI (Forward) : — A sophomore, whose game developed as season progressed. Quick break and excellent floor pass. Good eye for basket, which, with a little more aggressiveness should make him valuable man. 82 Coach Wykoff, Emdi Oakes (Mgr.), Folk, Rickef, Hunter LIGHTWEIGHTS The Lightweight basketball team won 5 out of 12 games and scored 244 points to their opponents ' 260. Menozzi was high point man with 42 points. Emdin play- ing in only 4 games was second with 38 markers. STREATOR The team opened the season with a victory over the All State quintet of Streator 25-19. Coach Wykoff used a new team each quarter in an effort to weed out his material. CRANE On the next start they lost their second game to Crane 24-13. The Crane men were too experienced for the green Joliet team and kept in the lead thruout the game. ELBURN Joliet lightweights met little opposition against Elburn, winning, 24-11. The visitors were unable to score a basket in the first three quarters, but opened up in the last frame and scored four baskets. EAST AURORA The ponies lost to the speedy East Aurora team by a score of 20-12. Ricker opened the scoring with two baskets, but Aurora passed them, making the score 7-4 at the end of the quarter. During the next quarter only one point was scored and that by Joliet. The last half found Coach Thompson ' s men with more fight and ran the score up to 20 while holding the Blue and Gold to 12. GARDNER The minors journeyed to Gardner on Friday the 13th and weren ' t superstitious in the least, winning 19-15. The game was close and gave Joliet another chance to try out some of the new material. HARRISON The Blue and Gold lights suffered a defeat at the hands of Harrison Tech, being on the wrong end of a 32-20 score. Sipusich of Harrison was the whole show, making twenty-three of his team ' s 32 points. ELGIN A surprise was sprung on Elgin when the youngsters won 20-18 for the first time in five years on the Maroon floor. The Elgin minors were in the lead 5-4 at the quarter and 13-10 at the beginning of the third quarter. After the intermission the Blue and Gold came back with the fight of last year ' s conference winners and were able to win in the last few minutes when Elgin failed to cut their stuff. Spesia did much toward the victory, scoring seven points, the last basket making the score 20 for Joliet. DE KALB The lightweights emerged victorious over DeKalb 24-21 after a hard fight. In the first half Joliet had things just about their own way, the score at the half being 15-7 for the Blue and Gold. After the half the team seemed to be in no doubt as to the outcome and almost lost because of this showing of over-confidence. DeKalb crept up until a tie was reached in the last few minutes of play and was broken by Menozzi sinking a basket and a free throw to bring the score to 24. WEST AURORA After beating DeKalb by 3 points the team lost a hard game to West Aurora 24-23. The score was deadlocked at 2i all after a long basket by Folk when a Joliet player fouled Abens of Aurora who made the free throw with only 20 seconds left to play. The first quarter found the teams tied with 4 points apiece. In the second quarter Joliet opened up and made the score 13-8 at the half in their favor. Joliet was still leading 21-15 at the start of the last frame. Emdin, playing his second game for the lightweights, was high point man of the game, having eight points. STREATOR The Blue and Gold minors lost to the Streator All-Staters, 22-19 after a thrill- ing rally in the closing minutes of play. In the last quarter the brilliant guarding of Hunter and Schmidt kept the All-Staters scoreless while their teammates were cutting the lead down to 3 points. The first string lights were kept on the bench throuout the game. ROCKFORD Strengthened by Emdin, the ponies lost a hard game to the unbeaten Rockford lights 24-23. At the end of the first quarter the Rabs were leading 7-6; at the end of the half they were on the wrong end of a 15-11 score. The third quarter found (Continued on Page 93) f% M iV, « fe. -rS Sfc nPI A f% sJP5 £§$ hdt 84 LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL LETTERMEX SECOR : — will probably be seen on the heavy- weight for the next two years and should be able to give a satisfactory account of himself there.

Slack, Large, Mgr. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Snappy colors met the eyes of the J.T.H.S. students going to the pep meeting held to stir up enthusiasm for the sectional tournament. Led by the cheer leaders, the students gave yell after yell for Coach Becker and the tournament squad. As they ran in, dressed in freshly cleaned suits, the whole assembly rose to its feet and sang Joliet Loyalty ' ' as a miniature airplane swung through the air with Spirit of Joliet ' ' on one side and Championship on the other. Getting the break by having the bye, Joliet met the speedy West Aurora team in the semi-finals and bowed to them 20-16. West High made eight free throws to win the game as Joliet made but two. While Joliet was making 7 field goals, Aurora could make but six. The game was close throughout, Joliet leading only once in the game 12-11 in the third quarter. The last quarter opened with the score Aurora 15 and Joliet 14. Anderson of Aurora started things with a basket and a free throw; Emdin followed with a field goal. Anderson sank a free toss, and Hazelett dribbled down the floor to make the score 20-16. In the last two minutes Aurora stalled and won a hard fast game by 4 points. West Aurora proved its worth by defeating Waukegan 29-11 in the final game and won the sectional title. To win, Aurora nosed out the previously undefeated Sycamore team 29-21 in an overtime battle, eliminated Joliet 20-16 and trimmed Waukegan 29-11. In the state contest, West Aurora played through until the final game and lost to Canton 18-9 featured by the slow offense of both teams. 86 DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The Blue and Gold won its first game in rather easy fashion, downing Blue Island 23 to 12. Jumping into the lead at the start, they were never headed, the score at half time being 16 to 9. They played a safe game in the last half, totaling 7 points to 3 for their opponents. Emdin and Rentner with 4 baskets apiece, led the attack while Bush rung up 6 points. Swamping the Morris quintet 33 to 18, the fighting Ironmen earned the right to play in the semi-finals. After a slow first quarter that ended 4-4, Morris was helpless before the Blue and Gold offense. The half ended 16-6; and the points continued to pile up in the third quarter. Emdin and Bush led the attack, the former scoring 6 baskets. Rentner, Longley and Loose all scored during the game. Joliet chose to play a slow breaking offense and tight defense against Mazon, thus conserving all possible energy for the final game. The Blue pulled up with an 8-5 lead at the end of the half and Mazon failed in her efforts to penetrate our defense. Longley ' s work in offense and defense was outstanding. Joliet won 15 to 9. The greatest game in district tournament history featured the final combat between Calumet City and Joliet. Three thousand leather-lunged spectators turned the gymnasium into a bedlam of noise an hour before game time. Beautiful team- work, marvelous speed and uncanny shots swept the purple clad warriors from their feet in the opening half and before they could catch their breath the Blue and Gold led 11 to 0. Bush, Emdin, Rentner shot with unerring accuracy. Outspeeded and outsmarted, they trailed at half time, 16-6. That second half will not be easily forgotten. Stralko and Tomkulonis finally penetrated our defense. Emdin ' s accurate ey e registered, while Loose and Longley came through with a goal apiece. Bush made a beautiful dribble-in shot, and it looked as though the game was safe. Loose went out on personals, Wheeler substi- tuting. With 70 seconds left Joliet led by 5 points. Two beautiful shots cut that lead to one point, and then the gun cracked! Joliet men were champions 28-27! Calumet City lost, but with honor and sportsmanship. All honor and credit to those fighting men who brought the district title to Joliet: Rentner, Bush, Emdin, Longley, Loose, Busch, Wheeler, Slack, Oldani, and Kelly. To Capt. Rentner we salute, for he was the inspiration that brought victory, in the greatest tournament game we played on our floor. (Heavyweight Football Continued from Page 75) Rockford backs and opened large holes for our own men. Rentner ' s defensive work was little short of marvelous as he threw the Rockford backs for more losses than the team gained. Joliet wound up the season on Thanksgiving Day journeying to DeKalb. The game proved easy for the Blue and Gold and Joliet won 33-0. The feature of the game was a 75-yard run by Emerson. The splendid interference was responsible for the victory. Busch and Bisching ' s work was very creditable.

The whole outlook for the season was changed on April 28 when Joliet defeated West Aurora 71% to 59% on the local track. Annexing seven first places and a number of seconds and thirds Joliet easily won from the Aurora tracksters. Rentner took first in the discus, shotput, and high jump; Lawson captured the mile and quarter-mile; Folk won the low hurdles; and the relay team consisting of Oldani, Pennuto, Slack and Maxwell won the seventh first place for Joliet. Coach Fargo sent seven picked men to the Bradley Interscholastic at Peoria the following week. By taking two seconds and two thirds Joliet placed ninth out of the sixty-two school that competed. Rentner took second in the discus throw and third in the shot put. The relay team won second place and Folk placed third in the 220-yard low hurdles Only three Joliet men qualified for the state interscholastic at the district meet held at Elgin May 12. Joliet took fourth out of the twenty-seven schools, annexing twenty -one points. Elgin won the meet with il l 2 points. East Aurora was second and Wheaton third. The men who qualified for the state meet were Rentner who broke two district records winning in the discus throw with a 127-foot heave, and in the shotput with a throw of 48 feet one inch. Lawson who finished second in the (Continued on Page 107) TENNIS More interest than ever before in the history of school tennis was shown this year when during the all-school tourney there were sixty-two entrees in the singles and thirty entrees in the doubles tournament. The teams of Emdin-Nelson and Young-Munch were finalists in the doubles, and Young and Emdin were finalists in the singles. The regular High School teams this year were composed of Longley and Miller in the singles, and the combinations of Nelson-Emdin, and Barr-Austin in the doubles. The teams this year have shown excellent form and have yet to be beaten, having easily won all their matches so far. They have defeated the Joliet Junior College, Morris and Elgin; Chicago Heights was given a double trimming, and Lockport is numbered among the scalps. The tennis team is also entered in two major tournaments; the Inter-scholastic, at Elgin on May 18-19, and the Big Seven at Home on June 2. Last year Joliet won the Conference and stands an excellent chance of repeating. On May 12 the tennis team swamped the DeKalb team in a conference match 5-0. The tennis doubles team, Emdin-Nelson, went to finals at Champaign and won medals for second place. 90 ALL CONFERENCE TEAMS— HEAVIES AND LIGHTS Red Witte, East Aurora ' s outstanding star was selected captain of the Big Seven all-conference team by the coaches of the circuit. He and his team mate Moos were the only unanimous choices. Most of the votes for the end position were centered on Rentner of Joliet, and Erickson of Rockford. The fact that Pug played two positions probably kept him from getting all the votes. Rentner played the Rockford and DeKalb games with a broken hand but nevertheless showed up well especially against the Rabs. Dinny Kelly received the largest share of votes for tackle along with Blanck of Elgin. Don Munch, who played quarter-back thruout the season was honored with the right half back berth. The second all-conference team also contained three Joliet men. Loose on the end position, Wekerlin at center and Emerson at quarter, giving six Joliet men on the two teams, 2 more than the nearest competitors who were Rockford and Freeport, with 4 men apiece. Art Crosby of Rockford was picked by all the lightweight coaches as was Cooper of Elgin, another hard hitting back. McCachran of Rockford was the outstanding lineman of the pony loop in the opinion of the lightweight mentors. Booker was the only Joliet man who received a position on either team. He was picked as a half on the second all-conference team. ■ (Heavyweight Basketball Continued from Page 81) 10-5 at half time, Sullivan and Brewer leading the attack. In the last few minutes Longley made two long shots tying the score. Lloyd Busch scored a basket and a free throw in the overtime period after Freeport had made a basket. MARSEILLES The Heavies bowed to Marseilles 15-10 in a long drawnout contest to help Coach Becker determine a tournament squad. Maxwell, Emdin, Ricker and Menozzi of the lightweight squad were given a tryout. OTTAWA Our Beckermen trounced Ottawa in easy fashion 36-12. The game was never in doubt from the start as the score read 17-4 at the half for Joliet. Coach Becker used his entire squad again and all showed up well. GARDNER Revenge was ours when Gardner lost 14-7 in a brilliant defensive game. The score at half time was 6-4 and at the end of the third quarter 10-4. Joliet used a slow-breaking offensive thruout the game. 91 92 GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION President Irene Schwab Vice-President Jane Almberg Secretary-Treasurer Kathryn Heath Assistant Secretary-Treasurer Betty Henderson Faculty Advisors Pheobe Ann Kirby, Dorothy Westendarp The purpose of the Girls ' Athletic Association is to foster and further interest in athletics, promote good sportsmanship, and develop healthy bodies. This is done through supervised training in sports giving every girl an opportunity to make a class team in hockey, basketball, baseball, tennis, field and track. At the end of each season comes an interclass tournament. The spring sports were handled a little differently this year than last. Formerly students signed up for all or any one of them and spent a certain number of hours every week, usually taken from the seventh and eighth periods, practicing them. This year, however, the gymnasium classes were divided into squads, and each spuad practiced each of the events in rotation. A field and track meet was held between the girls making highest scores. The social side of the G.A.A. is also well developed. A banquet for the girls who made hockey or basketball teams was held in April and a freshman welcoming party was held earlier in the year. The Annual Mother ' s and Daughter ' s tea was held in Maj ' . Because of the number of dances held in the spring, a date for the annual G.A.A. dance was not obtainable. The G.A.A. camp held at Bowen Country Club near Waukegan each summer furnishes a great deal of pleasure to the girls who are able to go. Swimming, tennis, basketball, baseball, dancing, archery, and golf are all taught, and teams are chosen from each school to compete in them. Tournaments are held and the school having the greatest number of points wins a banner. Besides a banner for best school, the best individual camper is given an arm band. (Lightweight Baske tball Continued from Page 84) Rockford creeping up until they were only one point behind, 21-20. The last frame found Joilet tired and their opponents made four points to their two. Emdin made two free throws and in the last minute of play missed a shot that rolled around the rim twice before falling out. Emdin scored 14 of his team ' s 23 points. FREEPORT The Blue and Gold lights suffered their fourth conference defeat at the hands of Freeport, 30-22. In the first half there was no fight shown by the locals and in the last quarter when they showed some stuff it was too late. 93 FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM Upper Row— Left to Right— Gertrude Joharnsen, Virginia Anderson, Jean Fit Dorothv Bolstad.

Practice was held in the boys ' gymnasium on Tuesdays and Fridays for the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors and on Mondays and Wednesdays for the Freshmen who had to practice alone because of their number. First place in the tournament which was held in the gym March 1-2 was won by the Seniors who defeated the Sophomores 13-11 in the first game.

GIRLS ' HOCKEY SEASON For the first time in three years the hockey girls were able to play some of their games. They have had to be called off on account of bad weather th? other years. Two nights a week the girls piled into a truck after school and went out to Highland Park where they practiced. The games were played at the Richards Street Field. The Juniors won from the Seniors, and the Freshmen defeated the Sophomores. Rain interrupted the final games.

THE ART CLUB President Irene Schwab Vice President Constance Maxwell Secretary Roland Pohl Treasurer Bernice Anderson The Art Club is a practically new organization in Joliet High, but in its short existence it has become known everywhere. Cooperation and backing of all school enterprises is their aim. Meetings are held in the Art Club room once a week and there plans are made for their projects. This year, one of their biggest undertakings was that of illustrat- ing the year book. Other worth while contributions to the school have been made by assisting to put over organization campaigns by snappy posters. The Art Club belongs to the Chicago Art Gallaries Association and in so be- longing have the privilege of having a new picture brought here for one month, at the end of which time it is sent back and a new one obtained. The object in this is to get the students interested in better types of art. This Art Club has the honor of being the only high school art club belonging to the organization. Mrs. Richardson is the leader of the group, and it is to her that the credit is due for the splendid results that she has profected. She has promoted an appreci- ation of art and a love for the beautiful things among the students. oo 1st Row— Left to R ' ght— Wekerltn, Miller, 1 derson, Reed. 2nd Row— Seppi, Secor, Oldani.

Becker The Blue and Gold Club is made up of all lettermen in school. Meetings are held every Tuesday the seventh and eighth periods, and at that time all the neces- sary business is discussed. As usual, the Blue and Gold Club fellows took care of the visiting teams during the district and sectional tournaments. Each fellow was assigned to a visiting team. While the team was participating in the tournament, he acted as waterboy, trainer and in various other capacities. Our Gang ' ' was the name of the stunt the Blue and Gold Club put on in the J Circus, members of the club representing the various characters of the Our Gang Comedies. For the first time the basketball letters were presented by the president of the Blue and Gold Club to those who were eligible to receive them. New members were voted into the club as the semester closed. 100 Ci jPWwi ftoi feig fc£V ' v S ' i i Sa=n?(vvv 3 iiS} itsStSfeir E P ' Tnhrjt First Row— Zidek, Schwartz, Urch, Broun, Burkbig Second Row— Howell, Haffney.

THE CAMERA CLUB Faculty Sponsor Mr. Price President Irene Howell Vice-President Bernard Bump Secretary-Treasurer Daphne Urch Although not very large, the Camera club is responsible for one of the greatest assets of the Year Book, the pictures. Pictures tell the Story, and because of this fact the Cameraites have gone through this year snapping ' ' so that this book might be a worth while one. But with the work has also come the play. Among the good times were a Hallowe ' en party, a practical night, and an April Fool ' s party at Mr. Price ' s home. We also went on a hike this spring to Pilcher Park for the purpose of getting year book pictures and also having a good time. The purpose was accomplished. At our regular meetings on Thursday every two weeks, we have interesting dis- cussions on photography, the art of developing, and how unique results may be obtained. On the whole this year has been a very satisfactory one from the standpoint of service rendered and enjoyment received. 2 L t J P iy ; Sil ffygSgsH ' t T Jivfcz g5g ls jf Uii = z u- ' . a 101 First Row— Fritz, B.

It offers its members an opportunity to hear and speak the language, and to learn about the history and customs of the German people. Any student of German is eligible for membership. This year meetings have occurred bi-weekly. At Hallowe ' en the president and the vice president entertained the club at the latter ' s home. Another special meeting was the Christmas Party, for which Charles Ladd furnished more than sufficient refreshments. The club has certainly increased the liking of its members for the German language and German interests. fc° - fewfly ■ g V T ' cJ ? Ww w VJ3 Sw z 1 fei-,i THE DRAFTING CLUB Officers President , Carroll Virgo, ' 28 Vice-President John Large, ' 28 Secretary John Lofgren, ' 30 Treasurer Maynard Brockman, ' 28 Committee Members: Engineering, James Redman, ' 30; Architectural, Alfred Lozar, ' 29; Mechanical, Francis Wolz, ' 28. Sponsors: Mr. Renner, Mr. Rogers. The Drafting Club was organized and held its first meeting the first Thursd ay in February, 1928. The club consists of sixty-five members representing architecural, mechanical, and engineering drafting students. The club is sponsored by Mr. Renner of the Industrial Drafting Department and Mr. Rogers who is in charge of Engin- eering Drawing. (The club meets the first Thursday of each month in room 371.) The purpose of the club is to bring together students who are pursuing the three drafting courses under one large representative body. With such an organiza- tion, drafting students have the advantage of meeting men of industry who are called upon to lecture on various industrial subjects as committeemen see fit. The committee members are in charge of all programs. S. O. S. President William Ricker Vice President Prances Enebo Secretary Gertrude Wagner Preasurer . Ruth Carroll A sophomore section of the Gilpin English Club, which met the third and fourth periods, applying new significance to the initials S.O.S. took the name ' ' Study or Sorrow. Twenty-six members constituted this group, and all cooperated for the benefit of G. E. C. In connection with the daily English lessons, each member submitted a term paper in the form of an artistic newspaper scrapbook, compiled of clippings collected during the semester. These were the result of many weeks of strenuous study and instruction. For Mother ' s Day fitting poems by the club members were required, and these showed care of construction and tenderness of feeling; many were mounted in attractive folders. A class honor roll was posted in the club room, on which ap- peared the names of all whose grades were passing; a high place on this honor roll was a much coveted prize for earnest scholarship. 104 THE W. H. O. CLUB This club is made up of AI English students. This club, like the other Gilpin English Clubs, keeps its work up to date in the English line and also in the helping line. The slogan of this club may explain this more clearly: the W stands for we; the H stands for help; and the 0 stands for others, thus we have the slogan We Help Others. The W.H.O. Club has the most fun on Book days. Book day is held every time the whole class gets a day ahead in their lessons. On these days the students have their choice of any book in the cases. The lamps and the fireplace are lighted to make the room look and fell like home. On Friday of each week the meetings are held with Everett Nelsen as president, Leon Gardner as vice president, Dorothy Johnson as secretary, Mildred Kristal as treasurer, Genevieve Headke as chairman of progr am, and Chester Attaway and Anna Batis representing the flower committee. The W.H.O. Club although one of the smallest Gilpin English Clubs, yet hopes to accomplish something great before the semester is over that its name will go down in club history. t S S x.°i- i L St QS 1 S yrrU iiS ' ' $ i! --J WvWl fe if=aJ V-? f4i 4! ,r3?

CLUB President Marie Lutz Vice President Lucille Cutchtn Secretary Georgia Linter Treasurer Richard Freeze The eleventh and twelfth period class, a class of A Sophomores, organized under the supervision of Miss Gilpin as the W.O.W. Club, the name meaning Workers of the World. The ideals upheld by the Gilpin English Club were adopted by the new club, and the club pin was ordered. The class was given lessons in citizenship as well as in Miller and Johnson. Thrift through the saving of chewing gum nickels was practiced, and club furnishings and charitable enterprises were the pleasing result. In April the club took part in a J circus held in the boys ' gym. They were part of a group which sponsored the Near East Valentine Box. On Fridays a business meeting and program was held. Short talks on current topics selected from the Literary Digest, a Gilpin hobby, were given. At times however the plan was varied and the students were allowed to have book day. From the cases that line the wall any book could be selected and read in leisure. All this we owe to Miss Gilpin who has saved and worker that we might enjoy the benefits of a club. We extend to her our deepest thanks. THE GILPIN GO GETTERS The Gilpin Go Getters are a branch of the Gilpin English Club. The Officers of our club are as follows: President, Edith Spiess; Secretary, William Deets; Treas- urer, Robert Pilcher; Program Chairman, Darline Spier; and Flower Committee, Gladys McAllister, Robert Cohenour, Wilma Otis. Every Friday that Miss Gilpin sees fit we have a business meeting and a pro- gram or else Book Day. In order to have either of these we must first have our work finished to date. In our meetings we carry on business that concerns our par- ticular group as well as the Gilpin English Club as a whole. Our programs consist of topics taken from the Literary Digest of the preceding Saturday. The Gilpin Go Getters are always endeavoring to work promptly, earnestly, and honesty, to be courteous to companions, respectful to authority and a helpful citizen in school and community.

( Energy ) Ah! Here we are again! Remember us? We knew you would! Can you remember our tag day, our valentine day for the Near East Relief? Our part in the J Hi Circus? We knew you would! We are the N.R.G. section of the G.E.C. Our officers are: Thomas Pacey, president; Joseph Zelko, vice president; Theodore Henvick, secretary; Elmer Henry, treasurer; and Hazel Hedges, the chairman of program. We have been very active in the past year with the various occupations that we now regard as our duties; and we have done our very best to develop a whole- some interest for ourselves and others in good books, plays, music, movies, ideals. As a guide in our work we have the energetic Miss Gilpin — our guide. If ever we lagged, or wearied, or couldn ' t see the way on our nob, we were inspired and shown the correct way by our benefactor — Miss Gilpin! We do our daily work as assigned by the department; but unlike other classes we find a free day in each week which we readily utilize for a business meeting which trains in parliamentary usage. It is followed by a program of Literary Digest topics given by the class. This not only keeps the class in close touch with world events, but renders a more important service — that of teaching the student how to speak without confusion, to express his ideas clearly, decisively, and to-the-point. For no man has received a true, modern education unless he can express his ideas clearly and to-the-point, with a maximum of power and a minimum of time. Along with these speeches, we make outlines which under the keen viligence and care of Miss Gilpin enable us to give the aims of our speeches. 1st Row— R. Pohl. Mitchell. Touzalin. Munch. M. Pohl.

THE HI Y CLUB President Hugh Henderson Vice-President Augustus Alderman Secretary-Treasurer George Switzer Sponsors, E. L. Mayo, W. T. Kirby, L. A. Aseltine, G. A. Evans, H. R. Seamans The program for the year consisted of programs given by outside speakers, club members and sponsors leading the meetings. One of the objectives of the club this year was to visit other Hi-Y Clubs and in turn to have other clubs attend our meetings. The remainder of the Hi-Y pledge to the Y.M.C.A., which was sixty dollars, was paid. The state Older Boy ' s Conference at Rockford, Illinois, was attended by a representative group of the Hi-Y Club. Several members attending this conference spoke at Churches in Rockford. A clean speech campaign was conducted in the high school by the club. Posters were put in the halls, and signs were made on the blackboards. Discussions of this topic were carried on in club meetings. Eight Joliet delegates journeyed to Hinsdale, where they took part in the Thirteenth Annual District Older Boys ' Conference. 109 110 THE J HI STARS President Marjory Blatt Vice-President Kathryn Heath Secretary Helen Rice Treasurer Gail Yaggy Sponsor Miss M- Mather The J Hi Stars is a wide awake organization composed of Junior and Senior girls, organized several years ago by Miss Denning who was then Dean of Girls. At the beginning of each school year the four officers and eight group leaders are chosen by the girls. The organization is then divided into twelve groups each of which chooses a faculty sponsor. Miss Mather, the present Dean of Girls, is advisor to the whole organization. The aims of this organization are to develop a finer social life among the girls of the school, to help the needy at Christmas time and to interest the members in bettering their community. A dinner dance given in the spring, is one of the out- standing social events of the school. In the fall, a girls ' social hour was given. It is a well balanced organization and worth every Junior and Senior girl ' s support. The group leaders were: Kathryn Heath, Gail Yaggy, Helen Rice, Ethel Gumae- lius, Helen Austin, Gertrude Barber, Helen McGinnis, Francis Green, Ruth Gifford, Victoria Fenoglio, Beatrix DeFillipi, Mabel Snider and Marjory Blatt.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Officers President Kathryn Heath Vice-President Irene Carter Secretary Bess Waters Sponsors Miss Ryan and Mrs. Babcock Chairman of Program Committee George Churchill Le Cercle Francais of the High School is composed of the students taking AI, B1I or All French. The students who are members of the club are interested in studying the customs, dress, songs, and the different characteristics of the various parts of France; and the programs at the club meetings are so arranged that much information which could not possibly be obtained in the regular class periods is given. As the meetings are carried on in French a greater familiarity with spoken and conversational French is possible. The past year the French club has been on the alert socially. At two meetings parties were held. At Christmas time two French plays were given, and gifts were exchanged by the members. The plays were Le Petit Chaperon Rouge and La Galette. On Valentine ' s day another party was held where valentines with French verses were exchanged by the members present. At all of the meetings French folk songs are sung, some of the favorites being Cadet Rouselle, Madelon, and La Mere Michel. 114 First Row— Lamphere: Jacobs, Kuicks. Green, Benson.

THE SENIOR SHORTHAND FRIENDSHIP CLUB Officers President Frances Green Vice-President Evelyn Blazevic Secretary Ann Calosio Treasurer Helen Benson Program Committee Ferna Meadmore Social Committee Mildred Pemble The Senior Shorthand Friendship Club was organized to promote a feeling of fellowship and friendship among the senior students enrolled in the commercial courses of our high school. Its aim is to make better business women through social, mental, and physical development. Meetings have been held every Wednesday afternoon in the music room, when a business meeting and an educational program have been given, followed by a social half hour. Under the financial plan of the club, groups of ten, each under the supervision of a student leader, made a sum of money which was turned into the club treasury toward the trip which was taken by bus to Chicago, where the club visited the Woman ' s World ' s Fair, and took a tour through Marshall Field ' s Store. Ways and means of making money for the club funds were: a trip through the American Institute Laundry, Bridge lessons, a penny social and a bakery sale. 115 116 SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB President Richard Olson Vice-President Carrie Spencer Secretary-Treasurer Irene Mahaffey Sponsors .... Miss Dew Dailey, Miss Elizabeth Barns, Mrs. Stella Hender- son, Mr. Glen Evans, and Mr. Sterling Beath. The Social Science club which was started in 1926 and died in its infancy was revived this year by students who were interested in the study of social problems outside the classroom. We held our meetings at the different churches of the city where dinner was served first and the remaining time was spent in listening to the speaker. Dr. Martin, the psychiatrist at the prison, was the speaker at the first meeting, which was held at the First Christian church. His topic was The New Attitude Toward Crime. At the next meeting, held at the Central Presbyterian church, the speakers were candidates for city, county and state election. Hjalmar Rehn, candid- ate for State ' s Attorney, Francis Loughran, Democratic candidate for State Repre- sentative, James Bell, representing Elmer Bielfeldt, candidate for State ' s Attorney; John Walker, candidate for State Representative; Paul O ' Hern, candidate for State Representative and Thomas Sprague, candidate for County Auditor, all spoke on the same subject Why I am a Candidate. Judge Austin, county judge who has been active in promoting the fight against juvenile delinquency in Joliet, addressed us at one of our meetings on the subject of The Value of the Study of Social Science. At one of the last meetings Mrs. C. N. Wilkey, Executive Secretary of the Will County chapter of the Red Cross spoke on Flood Relief. Mrs. Wilkey was active in the relief work at East Peoria after the flood there in 1927. The only eligibility rule which was required in order to become a member of the club was that a person either should be in the social economics classes or should have taken the subject previously. There were about 125 members made up from Juniors, Seniors and Junior College students. There were no dues collected with the exception of the fact that everyone paid for the dinner at the meetings. Co-operation was one of the biggest aims of the club. For instance, one of our meetings was a joint meeting with the night school class in sociology. We hope that the social science club will be a lasting thing and not die out as it did before, because there are many things that it may do well in co-operation with other organizations in the community that are interested in social improvement. The last meeting of the club was held in the form of a picnic at West Park where the members wished luck to their successors and to the future of the social science club. 117 THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is an organization formed for the benefit of the students. It purposes to be a means of bringing the faculty and students closer together to boost student activities and to act in cooperation with the ideas of the students for the betterment of the school. This body is composed of a representative from each home room throughout the school. The choice is made by popular vote. This organization is sponsored by Mr. H. V. Givens of the biology department and by Mr. H. J. Atkinson of the mathe- matics department. Among the more important things that the council does each year is to sponsor the selling of Christmas seals and the distribution of baskets. It also sponsors an annual cleanup day. 118 TERPSICHOREAX CLUB President Katherine Abell Secretary Irene Schwab Treasurer ' Mary Clark Faculty Advisor Phoebe Ann Kirby The Terpsichorean Club is an organization of girls who are aiming to find pleasurable recreation in rhythmic movement, to more adequately express our emo- tions, to develop finer personalities and an appreciation and love of the beautiful. The annual spring program given by the club this year consisted of The Stolen Princess, a ballet in three acts written by Hazel Conlon, president of the club last year; The Enchanted Urn, a dance drama; clog dances, and folk dances of the nations. Girls in the folk dances were taken from the gymnasium classes and the training classes. (Continued on Page 128) IU ' mBI ? ' I V 5 B ' ' f P n I 119 3? . S L 3 S §K,-Si ■=■- P hlS! •fcol. |Jkg?

This victory, which was the second consecutive National Championship that the band had won was celebrated, and then the band settled down to hard work again. All during the summer vacation months the graduating grade school musicians were trained so that they might be able to fill the places of the high school graduates. The band gave its usual pep to the football and basketball seasons by attending and playing at all of the home games as well as some of those out of town. During the regular school year the band went to Chicago to welcome Lois Delander who had become Miss America. As usual the band played for all the pep meetings as well as many of the assemblies. With the impetus gained by the extra summer months of rehearsal the band was able to present its fifteenth anniversary concert on the early date of March 30. An interesting feature of this concert was the way it attracted the attention of noted musicians everywhere, many of whom attended the concert. After two preliminary home contests, the band sent ten picked soloists to the sectional contest held at Aurora, April 13, 1928. These ten soloists represented eight different instruments, and Joliet won a sweeping victory of eight first and two seconds. R. Tremelling, clarinet; G. Henderson, cornet; R. Harris, horn; E. Portor, saxa- phone; H. Emiley, bass; L. Bradley, oboe; G. Switzer, trombone; E. Mitchell, bari- tone, won firsts and R. Mau, saxaphone; R. Englehart, horn, won seconds. As a result of this contest ths same ten soloists went to the state contest where Tremelling, Porter, Switzer, and Mitchell won firsts; Bradley, Englehart, and Henderson won seconds; and Harris won third. One of the greatest honors Joliet has had was on May 24, 25, 26 when the third National Band Contest was held here. Joliet was host to over two thousand band boys and girls representing about twenty states. John Philip Sousa, the March King , Edwin Franko Goldman, leader of the famous Goldman ' s Band of New York City, and Captain Charles O ' Neill, director of music to the Royal twenty-second Regiment, Quebec, Canada, were the three judges. Joliet entered ten soloists in the national solo contest and won eight places: Raymond Tremelling, clarinet; Glen Henderson, cornet; Leonard Bradley, oboe; Robert Harris, French horn, all took first place. Harold Emiley, bass; Edwin Porter, saxaphone; and George Switzer, trombone took second places. Edwin Mitchell, baritone, took third place. The band won the sight reading contest. After the grand parade it was announc- ed that the Joilet Band was the best maching band; and Saturday night it was an- nounced that Joliet had again won the national championship, making three con- secutive victories and giving Joliet permanent possession of the trophy. 126 tf j kmmss 0 X SjSTTfWP So S -Ct 2ag ? ' VM 6 THE ORCHESTRA President Robert Snider Vice-President Irene Mahaffey Secretary Marion Chaffee Treasurer Carrie Spencer With a larger number in the Orchestra than it has ever had before in the history of J.T.H.S. we have another prosperous year. One of the biggest disappointments was the fact that no state orchestra contest was held in Illinois this year, and as the fact was announced after we had even worked on the contest numbers unchallenged, we still remain the State champions forever. Near the beginning of the year we played at one of the sessions of the Teachers ' Institute held in the auditorium. We played at the Chamber of Commerce a number of times, for the Rotary Club and the Kiwanis, and furnished the music for the Woman ' s Club and the Junior College play. Two of the members of the orchestra, Ruth Martin of Junior College who plays viola, and Irene Mahaffey, ' 28, who plays bass, were chosen to represent J.T.H.S. at the National High School Orchestra which met in Chicago at the Stevens Hotel from April 14 to 18. There are 65 members in the Orchestra this year. The bass section has grown from two to five. An oboe and a bassoon have been added to the woodwind section. An organ has also been added and the horn section has been increased. The personnel of the Orchestra is as follows: First Violins: Robert Snider, Claude Wilson, Joseph Mattei, Joseph Skorupa, Raymond Gundalach, Marion Brere- ton, Leon Kolbert, Rose Herzog, Gladys Floyd, Everett Nelson, Constantine Dimas; Second Violins: Marion Chaffee, Elizabeth Kerr, Robert Mau, Charles Brantileno, Stanford Reid, Richard Freeze, Eugene Pennutto, Joe Baczuk, Richard Gerkens- meyer, Eileen Fetter; Violas: Ruth Martin, Robert Folk, James Weigle, Paul Switkis, Ed Zeleznik, Catherine Grant, Howard Spiess; Trombones: Byron Snider, Charles Dackendorf; Horns: Robert Harris, Mary Ross, Margaret Noell and Bydell Schwart; Oboes: Leonard Bradley, Amber Hopkins; Cellos: Helen Rice, Josephine Keltie, Helen Keltie, Margaret Wiswell, Mary Maloney, Barbara Broughton, Con- stance Maxwell; Basses: Irene Mahaffey, Floyd Schauland, Jaul Jones and John Rix; Cornets: Elsie Reitz, Delia Hoyt, Louis Spires; Clarinets: Hiram Fuller, Carrie Spencer; Flute: Nina Norris, Eleanor Bates; Piano: Helen Doxsie; Organ: Russel Van Benthuysen; Saxaphone: Agnes Masau; Drums: David Stephen, Rohland Pohl, William Sheridan. 127 THE CHORUS The choral work of the high school is conducted in two Classes, namely the junior and senior choruses. The junior chorus is responsible for a concert at Easter time and the music for Commencement night. The senior chorus in responsible mainly for a concert at Christmas and the annual operatic productions. From the senior chorus and junior chorus is picked a boys ' chorus of fifty voices, a treble choir of 16 voices and a bass choir of twelve boys. The above picture repre- sents the combined choral oganizations of two hundred voices. TERPS1CHOREAN CLUB (Continued frcm Page 119) At the end of each year new members are chosen from the training classes to take the places of those who are not returning next year. During the year the girls have given programs at: The Baptist Church. Steel Works Club, Womans ' Club, Business and Professional Woman ' s Club, Chamber of Commerce, and the high school classes.

Dickinson May we have your attention for a moment please and present the Public Speak- ing club and its activities? One of the biggest things that was sponsored this year was the extemporeanous speech contest supervised by Miss Elizabeth Barns and Miss Lena M. Dickinson in which seventy-six Juniors and Seniors were enrolled. They were given an unprepared subject and one hour and five minutes t o organize it. The contestants were then called and judged by Miss Clow, Miss Jones and Mr. Marshall. Six finalists were chosen out of the seventy-six. Lillie Anderson received the first prize, a gold medal, and Robert Folk, second prize, a silver medal. Honor- able mention went to George Churchill, Rosella Mattei and Anton Mutz. The six finalists were judged by Miss Hyde, Mr. Blampin, and Mr. Turman. The aim of the club is to act as a booster to all organizational activities, such as the Junior College Play, Senior Play the J High Journal, Athletics and the Band. One triumph during the year was the winning of first prize at the J Circus. The students were left to their own initiative, Miss Dicky wishing to see what we could do without her help. In keeping with the circus, we had a side show with a Wild Woman, whooping of singing bear, and laughing clown. This act won the five pound box of candy. Another triumph was the clean-up assembly in which order, in a prize fight, defeated dust and disorder.

Above, howe ' er, I find a friend. And then another and another. A c ountless throng from end to end, Until the sky they smother. Orion high up in the east, Xo friend more welcome than is he. On Sirius my eyes then feast, The brightest star a man can see. The Sisters Seven, Aldebaran, Above me in the sky so high. The faithful Bears who with the Dragon Around the frigid pole do vie. The Swan, the Eagle, and Altair Above the west horizon peep, And, south, red Mars so debonair, A tryst with me ne ' er fails to keep. And while I visit with these friends, The darkness fades like clouds away. The cheer, the faith, the strength they lend, Dispel the lonely night ' s array. Softly through the vaulted arches On the quiet air their floats. Gently like the distant thunder, Mellow, somber organ notes. Down the nave like mighty billows Roll the rumbling waves of sound — Swelling, welling, never dwelling — Music of the gods unbound. Xow there come clear voices singing In a soft and liquid tone, To be answered from the altar In a chanting monotone. Leighton Wellman. THE CALL OF THE COYOTE Here I idle in the twilight, Laxing in a cozy chair, List ' ning to the coyote calling Through the distant chilly air. Dumb the forest; dumb the valley; Dumb the mountain stream below— Xbthing but the coyote calling. Calling hauntingly and low. Comes the echo from the mountain, Causing me to turn my head, Thinking there another coyote Answering to shield its dread. Though the call be wierd and lonely, Echoing from far or near, Sitting in the ev ' ning twilight, I, the coyote, love to hear. George Long. Wesley H. Celander. THE SAILORS ' SEVEN SEAS Oh, I ' d read and I ' d dreamed of the sailors ' seven seas. Of the stately old galleons of Spain ' s far famed grandees. So I chartered a clipper ship, strong and as light As a falcon unhooded and true in her flight. Then we sailed from the port on a saint-forbidden day. But the lure was upon me and I had to get away ! To the South first we steered, while free wind filled the sails And the sun played like gold on our highly polished rails. Soon we touched ancient China and we laughed in her face, (Fore I ' d read of the trick ' ry of the heathen Chinee race). Then we lolled and we lingered in the ports of Mandalay Where the lure came upon us and we couldn ' t get away! It was there that I met her (may a curse be on her soul! ) The rich hue of her skin was like ancient burnished gold. Her eyes were as deep as a shadowed sacred well; Her voice was as liquid as a mellow temple bell. And I felt, ah!, I knew, that ' twas death for us to stay, But her spell was upon us and we couldn ' t get away! The sea lay like oil as it lapped around the prow As smooth and as shining as Zalaka ' s placid brow, Her wine dulled our senses, and her music held us fast And we worshipped at her altar while the dead sails draped the mast. Then a breeze from the Xorth brought a dash of freshened spray, And the sea called and beckoned till we had to get away ! We drifted on the night tide, as silent as a ghost. The morning found us loosened from the humid lazy coast. Toward the North we were headed and we swiftly left behind The shores where we knew in the dusk Zalaka pined, By the phosphorescent waters where the flying fishes play But the sea had come upon us and we had to get away ! We sailed and we sailed and we saw fantastic sights. Till at last we reached the land of Aurora ' s colored lights, There the ice rose in crags, and it pierced the turquoise sky, Bright it flashed and reflected like a cold blue cyclop ' s eye. It cracked against the shoreline and it ground the frozen bay. Dire danger was upon us, and we had to get away! 144 Through the cold emerald waters, light we cut the strident waves. ' Round our salt covered decking, wild, the shrieking water raves. High the foam dashes up, stretching diamond spattered crests, Priceless jewels that adorn some cold Russian Princess ' breast. How far we ' d have ventured on the seas I cannot say, But a new lure c ame on us and we had to get away! And it ' s homeward we ' re bound to the peaceful fireside; We ' d traversed the seven seas — proved that poets had not lied When they wrote of the East, of the lure of old Cathay, Of the wine and the dancing girls of mystic Mandalay, Of the cold, frosty North — but we thanked the lucky day When the sea called and beckoned and we had to g:t away. Katherine Dunham. TO THE STARS O stars, that shine from heaven ' s velvet height, And try to cheer the distant world below, What are your thoughts, as gazing on us so, You see us all unconscious of the light? Do you feel moved with pity, in your might And grandeur, when you see that petty woe Can blind our eyes to life ' s sweet, happy flow? Do you see just how futile is the fight We wage, in this short life, against what can And always will make us as powerless As poverty, and war, and wasted love, In your broad visage, all that lowly man, Hemmed in by unperceiving narrowness, Regards, and fails to see the blue above? Erma L. Schwab. 145 J.J.C. BASKETBALL The Joliet Junior College Basketball mentor was met with gloomy prospects as the 1927-28 season opened. A shortage of eligible men presented a dismaying aspect to the coach. Of the ten men that started the season, only four remained at the finish. The personnel of the team was constantly changing and with this change the coach remained pretty well in the dark as to just who he could depend on to be present at game time. Yet Joliet had a hard fighting and fast breaking team as the North Park coach stated, and the fact that we scored an average of 26 points a game shows the kind of a team that we had. On January 5, the J.J.C. team travelled to Crane where it lost a hard battle to the 1927 conference champions when a switch from a five man, to a man-for-man defense in the closing moments of play left a hole in Joliet defense through which the faster Crane boys drifted at will. The final score was Crane 37, Joliet 27. On the 13 th of January the giant Chicago Normal team came here and won from a wildly passing Joliet team 34-18. Crombie and Young with eleven points between them led the scoring. After a lay off of two weeks the Joliet team travelled to Lisle College where, after losing much of their stored up energy in trying to find the place, they lost a fast game to the conference leaders 28-20. Crombie with eleven points led the scoring. This was the final game for Gallagher, due to the five semester ruling. Morton came to Joliet and won a record-breaking 50-40 point battle. Ruegnitz 147 and Saper scored regularly for Morton while Crombie with 26 points starred for Toliet. Schneiter and Oakes joined the team before this game. Then came February 3 and with it our first conference victory. The Purple and White easily defeated North Park 28-13. Crombie scoring 13 points and Schneiter with his close guarding starred for Joliet. Crane came to Joliet for our second game with them and again won a last half victory when the team split wide open after a closely fought first half. Bennie Oakes starred for Joliet. On February IS, we travelled to Normal where we lost a heart-breaking game to them by a score of 26-24. The fact that Crombie was unable to play and the fact that Schneiter and Oakes were ejected from the game with four personal fouls explains the loss. Lisle came to Joliet the following week and again the JJ.C. team was defeated. This time to the tune of 35-22. Ryan and Meyer, two of the most faithful men on the squad, crept into the limelight and kept Lisle in the dark as to just who was slipping through their defense. The Purple and White moved to Morton where another of those high-scoring contests was played. Although Ryan and Crombie seemed to have found their eyes for the basket, we lost 40-31. In the last game of the season North Park obtained revenge for its former de- feat and won 36-27 from Joliet after a hard fought battle in which Crombie scored 17 points. J. J. C. BASEBALL TEAM Cn April 6 with plenty of excellent material available for all positions, Coach R. L. Rogers sounded the practice call. About twenty men responded, suits were issued, and the coach and his men set to work to produce a winning team. Every evening for two weeks the men were schooled in the art of fielding, batting, and base running, as the team was rounded into shape for competition in the Northern Illinois Junior College Conference of baseball. Just before the season opened Smyder was elected captain and Douglas, who had received some valuable experience at Illinois, was designated pitcher. In the first game at Crane on April 21 the team received a setback at the hands of the more seasoned Chicagoans to the tune of 24 to 6. Several of the mainstays were not present. On April 25 the team travelled to Lisle and beat them in a hard-fought contest 3 to 2. Douglas pitched an excellent game and had good support. Berst brought in the first two runs with a double to center while the game was won by Oakes ' triple followed by a safe bunt by Meyer. North Park came to Joliet on May 5 only to be vanquished 1 to 0. Douglas allowed only one hit. The visitors had a good team, but two hits and a number of errors were enough to win. Captin Smyder got to the first sack on an error, ad- vanced to third on a hit by Liess, and came home on a wild pitch. (Continued on Page 153) 148 J.J.C.

But our winter was by no means dull. We encouraged and engaged in outside winter sports, and sponsored several chummy teas. Mrs. Kirby and her Terpsichoreans were always ready with novelty dances for entertainment, and Loretta Bourrie acted as our dance orchestra. The spring seems to be the busiest season for the W.A.A., for with the spring we sponsor a mammoth tennis tournament. A steel tennis racket was the prize in store for the winner. With tennis, we are also promoting track and baseball. Some of our last years ' high-lights have gone on, but we have great hopes for our fresh- men, and there are one or two old stars among the sophomores. The why of the W.A.A. is very evident. Aside from the above, the girls have the satisfaction of knowing that their efforts will be materially rewarded. Since we are members of a national association, we are privileged to award emblems for the individual sports, and national emblems for a certain number of points earned in the participation of sports. These em blems were awarded at the annual Mothers ' and Daughters ' Tea, ' during the latter part of May. It is easy to qualify for the W.A.A. Join next year and enjoy its pleasures, social and athletic, and earn a purple and white J.C. THE J. J. C. BOYS ' TEXXIS TEAM Several tennis enthusiasts, led by Erwin Godfrey, persuaded Mr. Kirby to ar- range a junior college conference tennis schedule. The call for players was responded to by nine men, Godfrey being the only letter man. The players were arranged an a basis of showing in practice matches in the following order: McKeown, Meyer, Godfrey, Schneiter, Menzon, Spangler, Robin- son, Dunda and Pearson. The following schedule was played: April 28 — Morton playing on our home courts defeated us 4-1. May 3 — Xorth Park was defeated there 3-2. May 7 — Lisle met and defeated us here 3-1. May 12 — Chicago Normal defaulted to us. May 15 — Crane (matches not played on account of rain, another date set.) May 19 — Northern Illinois Junior College Conference tennis tournament to have been decided at the Oak Park tennis club, at River Forest, 111. J. J.C. BASEBALL TEAM (Continued from Page 148) The locals were trimmed at Chicago Normal on May 9. The team did not get started until the last two innings. Errors proved to be the downfall and the team lost 9 to 3. Morton was scheduled to play here on May 18 and Concordia here on the 26th. Joliet was especially determined to beat the latter team because Concordia defeated Crane 19 to 3. 153 W ' ,«f or 4e ? ) , Sor?7e aa a es 7rW« George V — Mo TaJo G 154 Seated- Bob Clark, Madaline Mitchell.

Dickinson. Silly Bill fell in love with Lola, the Baby-Talk Lady. To woo her in a manner worthy of himself he stole his father ' s evening clothes. When his wooings became a nuisance to the neighborhood, his mother stole the clothes back, and had them altered to fit Mr. Baxter, thereby keeping William at home in the evening. How William Sylvanus again got the dress suit, and how as he was wearing it at Lola ' s farewell party, the negro servant disclosed the fact that it was his father ' s are most interesting elements of the comedy. The play was exceptionally well received, and there were many invitations to repeat it. 155 Front Row- Uuiula. Klint. Clark, Schwab, Jacobus, Purdy, Stoddard. Second Row— Gumaelius, Wallace.

LE POINT DU JOUR President Eema Schwab Vice President Jack Douglas Secretary-Treasurer Clifford Lillya ' Way back in September, the first meeting of the cast was held. Yes — the cast that was to play the part of the first year French Club. The name chosen for the production that forthwith was to be enacted was Le Point du Jour. Mile. Schwab was chosen leading lady, and proved to be the popular idol of every performance throughout the season. Her every ready wit was always to the rescue when that colleague of Messrs. Hoyle and Roberts detected anything unparliamentary — yes, Monsieur Spangler. The voting scenes were terrific ! Every known emotion was registered vividly, and with telling effect upon the audience, by bevies of brilliant actresses — Mile. Clark being among those favored most. There were two important performances during the season. One of these was at 416 South Richards Street, at which tea was served to every French speaking person present, a feature made possible through the pleasant hospitality of Madame Babcock, playwright and producer. The other performance of note was at the Chamber of Commerce, given in conjunction with the Feytel VIII , second year Cercle Francais. Both performances received flattering ovations from the press. The season of Le Point du Jour is closed now, but it is with the inspiration afforded by one successful season that the cast looks forward to a more sparkling record next year, when it will continue as the second year Cercle Francais. 156 Front Row— Eib, Bailev.

All around grew flowers of knowledge, some of which were familiar, others of which were strange and sometimes hard to identify. Soon the members came to the palace of Queen Anne, where they were much disturbed by the upsetting of Un Yerre d ' eau. Just as they were continuing their walk they stopped to sing a few carols for a traveler named College Club. After passing through the land of Eugenie Grandet, ' ' a bleak, desolate country, ruled by an old miser, the members of Feytel VIII began to be troubled by Le question d ' argent ; but they soon forgot their worries in a delightful tea at the home of Mrs. Babcock, the sponsor. Meeting College Club again the members of Feytel VIII entertained him with a play Marraine de Guerre. Soon afterward they arrived at the Chamber of Commerce where they prepared a banquet to which they invited the members of Le Point du Jour. - ' The promenade was ended in the company of the annoying rogue ' ' Gil Bias from whom the members of Feytel VIII finally parted, bidding him and one another Au revoir. j3 ' ty )4 7da ' 9 C.CD US7 7cjr C ass 5 ee t ? ?££ j 158 THE COLLEGE CLUB First Semester President Denny Ryan Vice Pres LaTreyte Lang Secretary Neva Robbins Treasurer Mary Clark Second Semester President LaTreyte Lang Vice Pres. . Erma Schwab Secretary Vernon Barnes Treasurer Winifred E. Day The College Club has just completed its second year. The policy of having a monthly meeting for the advancement of our cultural opportunities was continued with marked success. Throughout the year the membership was representative of the entire college, and the programmes given and the events sponsored reflected the combined efforts of diversified student interests. Soon after the beginning of school the club sponsored a get-acquainted gath- ering. At the October meeting officers for the first semester were elected. The balance of the programme consisted of musical selections and a speech contest. A scientific atmosphere was created for the November meeting by allowing some of the chemistry students and teachers to entertain the club in their laboratory. The College Club assisted the annual play by selling tickets under the direction of Vernon Barnes and Margaret Kertes. In December the Terpsichorean Club presented their delightful ballet, Santa Claus ' Work Shop. Besides there were a Christmas story, carols in German, Erench, and English, and a tree. Eor January musical selections by a college talent and a talk on music by Mr. E. B. Brockett were given. A unique talk by Mrs. Adele Fay Williams featured the programme. Dr. Smith favored us with a talk, Junior Colleges in the United States, at the February meeting. The programme was concluded by group discussion of the ques- tion, with Dr. Smith leading. In March under the tuteledge of the new officers, three dramatic productions were put on. Each of the second year language classes put on a play. Miss Dickin- son directed an English play with a select cast. April brought a splendid entertainment, Art in Painting and Song, presented by Mr. and Mrs. Frank U. Dudley of Chicago and the Dunes. This was the most pretentious meeting yet, and it was in harmony with the club policy of bringing one well-known speaker each year. A big crowd, a fine hall, and good music makes a swell dance. The dance at the Elk ' s club on April 27 was the biggest and most successful dance yet. The general arrangements committee with Neva Robbins, chairman, was selected by the College Club officers. May the College Club long continue to coordinate all social activities and bring together the entire student body. 7 6e ? s-e (1KP - -SOS7 £( o s Gt e s U nor ' k Wtfifar jM ■ -■■■ i- 160 J.T.H.S.

(Continued from Page 78) ELGIN Beat Elgin was the only thing heard in the ponies ' camp on the eve of their second conference battle. The Elgin team, however, was superior to Joliet in offense and skirted the ends for frequent gains. The Watchmakers won 19-0, mak- ing it two defeats in 2 starts for the locals. Early in the second quarter, Cooper of Elgin went over for their first touchdown through guard. In the middle of the third frame the dusky Leach opened up and started things rolling. The second score came when Elgin quarterback went through tackle from the four-yard line. The third touchdown came when a Joliet pass was intercepted and turned into a score for Elgin. DE KALB Showing a lack of drive and snap the local lights lost a 25-0 game to DeKalb on the latter ' s field. Long passes by the Barbs brought the ball down the field time after time for scores. EAST AURORA Displaying some of the old time fight and punch of last year Coach Wykoff and his team ran over East Aurora 6-0. William Booker romped over the goal line late in the second quarter after circling the ends and plunging through the line for long gains. The locals scored seven first downs to five for Aurora. OAK PARK By trampling through the lightweight line and romping around the ends, the Oak Park minors emerged triumphant 19-0. The game was sought as an easy battle to whip the locals into shape for West Aurora, but a surprise was sprung, and one of the best driving teams in Chicago arrived. WEST AURORA A bad wind was the deciding factor in Joliet ' s defeat by Aurora at the West High field 2-0. Joliet received the ball on the 2-yard line, and Oliver was forced to punt from behind his own goal line into the face of a high, tricky wind. The ball went straight up and landed behind Joliet ' s goal where a Joliet man downed it for a safety. This safety gave Aurora the game as both te ams were about evenly matched. In the third quarter Aurora had the ball on the one-foot line, but in three attempts through center they were forced back to the six-yard line. ROCKFORD The final game of the season again found the lights defeated, this time by Rock- ford 12-0. The Rabs crossed the goal line twice in the first quarter and were held throughout the rest of the game. The first tally came early in the initial period when Johnson of Rockford scooped up a punt which a Joliet played had touched and found a clear field before him. Seemingly dazed by the unexpectedness of the score the Joliet ponies were forced back by end runs until Crosly on an off tackle play scored the second touchdown. The rest of the game was evenly played except at one time the Blue and Gold ponies were forced back to their own 1-yard line where they held and received the ball on downs. fX ten (KISS fk %!

DAY OF RLCKDPIING DURfNC THE There was once an old King called Robin who lived in Huntsley castle near Bonrgingnon. Robin ' s son a Gaylord of Beverly, who we will call Prince for con- venience ' s sake, desired to be a Seaman and ran away to become a sailor. One night at sea a Storm Rose and all the sailors escaped to the Hull of the ship until the Gail Slackened and then Rompjed Zidek in glee. Some dove into the water for White Pearls and much to the surprise of all, Prince found a Large one and put it way for safe keeping. The first mate ordered the Seaman to Schwab Zidek and they answered with Helen Damman other expressions but soon Zidek was like Glass and the sailors were ready for grub. During the meal, which consisted of Hintz Beans, Kellogg ' s cornflakes, Rice, Hammond eggs, Tapio (ca.) pudding and Maxwell coffee, the men discussed Prince ' s luck and Pyled glory on him. While driving one of the sailors had received a Bump from which the Blood was now streaming his Ward becoming frightened Bal led, Can ' t Doxsee you? The doctor wrapped the wound in a White bandage and helped him to his room as there were no Porters on this ship. Before very long Prince tired of life at sea and returned to Huntsley castle where he fell in love with A bell (e) of the court. This young lady had Hazel eyes, Ruby lips, and hair of Amber Hugh. Her cheeks were like Roses, her teeth like Pearls. Prince met her often ' neath the Starrs shining thru the Lindens and Oakes of the Blackwood and one night gave her his Pearl as a token of his affection. They were so Happy together and without a Kerr in the world. Many times a day the Prince could be heard talking to himself with words like these, McQueen Isabel in my heart. Even tho the King objected and said his son Dirst not Mary because he was too Young, the Prince disobeyed and eloped. (Continued on Page 196) John St. Market GROCERIES and MEATS Phone Cor. W.

It is a marvel of coloring, soft pastel shades running together and blending like the colors of a rainbow, containing the softest grays, the daintiest blues, the palest shades of pink and green, with tints of saffron. The colorful sands make it a miracle of loveliness; it was wrought by the skillful hands of the Master Arstist, God. But as we come nearer, the scene changes; the colors take on more vividness; the curiously wrought peaks and promontories, mounds and cones become startling in their dis- tinctness. The ethereal, fragile-appearing rose and blue, green and gray become most vivid; pink turns to crimson, pale blue to a dark color, soft green to dark green, the dainty yellow to a brilliant saffron hue. In the lower parts, down between the fantastically eroded cones and mounds, are petrified logs and parts of logs, the remnants of a mighty forest. At the edge of the desert are great beds of gypsum, dazzling white, and sparkling and shining in the brilliant Arizona sunlight. Strangely weird and awe-inspiring is the impression left by the colorful sands of this en- chanted desert. Dr. Thos. H. Wagner MEDICAL ARTS BLDG. Toliet, III.

Meals were served in the dining Hall and at the call of a Bell which was Rigged at the top of a Po tl in the courtyard, all the Alderman and Gaylords, and ladies assembled. The royal Folk were enter- tained by the court Harper, who also played the Viola and by French Carrollers who could Sing Ayres and Keid with Be Witt of professionals. One day a Gail swept over Heath and Glen destroying Erbs and Ferns in its path and blowing even Harder to uproot Large Oakes. As it Russclled through the branches it dislodged a little Brown Boyd from its nest. My Watt, a storm!! ! But a real sport never Kuicks, so instead, the next morning each Woodman started to clear the wood from the Green and before leaving had thought to Carrie an axe. Soon all tracks of the Storm had disappeared from the Mohr. The Woodmen had even hauled dirt in a Van to fill the horrid Pitts made by the Gail and planted Violets in the new earth. One sad day the King died and the Prince and his bride returned to attend the funeral at the little Brown church in the Dale. The Prince was made King and his wife truly became his queen and they lived happily ever afterward going often to the grave of the old King in the cemetery on the Churchill. 196 The Store with a Service to the Student In supplying the required books, and supplies it adds greater possibilities for the Student.

Skipper Bay — In a game that we called football our fleet battled other nations and won second place in the Big Seven Conference in 1927. Those of our crew that took part in the football contests were Longley, Wenck, Anderson, Munch, Kelly, Folk, Slack, Emerson, Fuller, Wheeler, Henderson, Jones, Mutz and Reed. Miss Lewis — How interesting! Were there other types of battle? Skipper Bay — Other types of battle? Yes — (nodding head) there was basket- ball, track, and tennis. Well do I remember ! There were ten from our worthy ship that played basketball. They were Munch, Slack, Emerson, Fuller, Folk, Longley, Wheeler, Henderson, and Miller. Those on the track team were Folk, Slack, Balch, Hull, Schaffer, Lawson, and Mutz. Robert Lawson won the privilege to compete in the State meet at Urbana. Six from our ship played tennis. The men that used this type of battle were Ricker, Tracy, Miller, Longley, Powell, and Munch. Gor- ( Continued on Page 200) 198 Compliments of the Flint Sanitary Milk Co.

The team of our fleet won every match that was held during the entire year. — The G.A.A. division of our crew held skirmishes with the other ships in our fleet, the 1929, 1930, and 1931 and led them in athletic prowess. Miss Lewis — It was an all around crew. Skipper Bay — Twas all around indeed. One t ' me we had a word battle called the Public Speaking Contest. Robert Folk of our ship won second prize. He had a fine gift of gab. Aye, Ma ' am we had some good times too. On April 2 7, 1928 we had a battle of pure fun- the J Circus. The Public Speaking Club, the parrots of our crew, won first prize. Once every year we had a party. I was seventeen. Per- haps eighteen, when we had our last one. Our ship was the first in history to have a party in the Freshman year, and to have one each year following. One was a Golf Dance, another a Carnival, another a Christmas Party. Oh. — we had great fun all right. Miss Lewis — It has been a great pleasure for me to have the opportunity of listening to your interesting adventures. Won ' t you come again and tell me some more of the Good Ship 1928. Skipper Bay — Aye, Ma ' am, ' twould please me greatly. I could tell many other things about the Good Ship 1928. — Good-bye. Miss Lewis walks to the gate with Skipper Bay and then watches him disappear in the distance. Put Yourself In Our Shoes or all around satisfaction — JOLIET ' S GREAT SHOE STORE 318 N.

A pair of youngsters, really, in spite of their self-reliant air and their fast-vanishing teens. The girl — slim, clear-eyed, merry ; the boy — flippant, a bit arro- gant, full of secret, earnest plans for success. They like each other. They go to the movies together, dance, quarrel a bit. They don ' t believe in early marriages. But her eyes shine when she speaks of him. Me and the boy friend. One of these days, suddenly, they ' ll be grown up. Man and wife, those fearless youngsters. A home to plan, life to face. A budget, a savings account, economies. They ' ll make mistakes, but they ' ll learn quickly. She ' ll begin to be canny in the spending of money — to question prices and val- ues. She ' ll begin to read about the things she plans to buy, to find out all she can about them. She ' ll become a regular reader of advertisements. They ' ll help her to become the capable, wise housewife she wants so much to be. They ' ll tell her what clothes are best and what prices to pay for them. They ' ll tell her about the foods to buy, the electric appliances, the linoleums and draperies. They ' ll help her, as the advertisements in your Herald-News can help you. And she ' ll meet her responsibilities and fulfill her duties easily and well. She won ' t become a tired, flustered, inefficient drudge. Because her home will be modern, attractive, well-run, she ' ll keep young — through the speedy years she ' ll retain much of that shining-eyed, merry freshness. She and the boy friend.
