This may sound like a lot for one man. but the eliiciency of the school system and the confidence ol students. faculty, and community seem to verify all of these various talents and interests. His twenty-six years of teaching and supervision have been spent at Canton, Neponset, Spring Valley, Momence, and Kankakee, Illinois, schools. During his courses of study, Mr. Munson gained an A. 15. from Augustana College and an 1Nl.fX. from the University of Illinois. As for the students at Kankakee, Mr. Munson says, Hlhey are a hue bunch of youngsters, and l like 'emf' Any boy or girl in K. H. S. will assure him the feeling is mutual.

Ed Madison, and George l.uehrs, others elected by Kankakee voters, Chief problem of the board is concerned with expenditures for maintaining and im- proving the city schools and faculties. For Kankakee High School alone, over 5100.000 is paid out each fiscal year, an average cost per pupil of 515120. is an example of the efficient management of these funds.

Allison Guides' Many People ln One Purpose- A Better School Through sixteen years of efficient administration under Principal R. Y. Allison, Kankakee High School has grown to a miniature community of almost eleven hundred pupils having a system of student government: diversified extra-curricular activities, and varied courses of study for full training of their minds. A faculty of forty trained men and women prepare these students for graduation through a commercial course, an accredited college preparatory course, and a gen- eral schedule, combination of the first two mentioned. Yet with all the duties of administering to the vital and energetic activities of pupils and faculty, friendly but forceful Executive Allison finds time for such community services as presidency of the Kiwanis Club and active interest in the Kankakee Forum. Summer linds him traveling over the United States to conventions offering points of advice on high schools. enabling him to aid in the continuance of K. H.S.'s record of accredited membership in the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Mr. Allison has an A. li. from Waliasli College, an M.A. from the University of Chicago, and has ata tended Teachers' College at Columbia University. Two Efficiency Experts Going over the files to get that personal check-up on each student is only one of the varied duties of twink- ling-eyed Office Secretary Celesta Fruin. Besides issuing and recording absence and tardy slips, she checks eighth periods. mails green cards, receives transfer student records, sends out credit lists and re- cords all grades, as well as attending to all of the principal's correspondence. Miss Fruin says. My hobby? Oh yes-traveling- in the summer. Favorite hobbies of Secretary Jessie Greely are reading, driving, and knitting, although she doesnit have much time for knitting. For instead of leaving school the tirst of June. Superintendent Munson's com- petent assistant works all summer except for a two weeks' vacation. The title accountant might well be applied to this gracious staff member. Besides her stenographic duties. she keeps accounts for the school board and the cafe- teria and has charge of ordering and distributing sup- plies to the city schools. Is Administered By These Five Assistant Principal Raymond Harris Encourages Intramurals for All Boys A new face this year at K. H. S. is the smiling one of Assistant Principal Raymond Harris, whose ready wit constantly surprises his commercial law classes. Mr. Harris comes here from George Rogers Clark High School in Hammond, Indiana. After receiving his B. S. degree from James Milli- ken University, he attended summer school at the University of NVisconsin and at the University of Illi- nois and earned a master's degree from the latter. He is now studying for his PILD. at Columbia University. Manager of both the holiday and regional tour- neys, Mr. Harris won the appreciation of the boys at school when he instituted and successfully carried out a system of intramural basketball contests between clubs, classes, and independent quints. For his own recreation, this friendly student coun- cil adviser enjoys reeling in the Hfinny tribe. espe- cially bass. Although he has angled in lakes and rivers from Minnesota to Tennessee and from Arkan- sas to Michigan, the assistant principal asserts that of all the waters he has invaded, his favorite spot will always be VVhere the fish bite best. Girls' Dean Helen Shuman Advocates A Democratic Student Government The familiar person so often met at the desk in the room at the south end of the main corridor is Miss Helen Shuman, dean of girls at K. H. S., whose inspiration to become a teacher came from a theme she wrote as a freshman in high school. Having read about a dean in a book. she made this career the topic of her composition, and-well, here she is. During her years at K. H. S., her kindly and sym- pathetic advice has been a consolation and help to many bewildered girls. A wide range of experiences and background of education qualifies her to be vo- cational counselor, study adviser, and real friend-in- need to the entire student body. As a hobby, Miss Shuman enjoys reading, club and organization work. She has been active in Y. W. C. A. and Campfire Girls and at present is co-adviser of the Student Council and honorary adviser of the Girl Reserves. Miss Shuman has a B.Ed. from Illinois State Nor- mal University, an M.A. from the University of Illin- ois, and has done advanced work at Lake Forest Col- lege, Teachers' College of Columbia University and Northwestern University. Mr. Harris D0 I weed- a permit for this class? . . . The student coun- cil tea dance is today .... Will five .subjects be too many? . . . Should I join a dub? Miss Shuman Nine Life Begins Al' High School Class History Tells AI'I- i 1 3 '54 The Seniors of 1939 Having a somewhat anxious look on their .bewildered faces, 366 shy freshmen entered the great realms of K. H. S. on September 3, 1935. Chosen to lead the class through the green', year were Charlotte Stella, Wayne Wellman, and jack Carter. The Misses Elsie Frietag, Dorothy McGinnis, Jennie Webb, Gwendolen Ingli, and Mr. Carl Althoff began their duties as the guiding sponsors. The following February, 78 more eager individuals were ushered in as mem- bers of this already promising class. At the first of the new year, a Leap Year party prevailed as the outstanding freshman activity. With Lyman Trescott, Walter Kell, and Ronda Mann as able leaders, this enthusias- tic group took on a more grown-up air as sophomores. During this year, as is cus- tomary, a Thanksgiving Day pantomime was presented before the assembly. VVhen 1937 rolled around, these ambitious boys and girls became upperclassmen and decided upon Dorothy Rex, jack Carter, and VVilliam Rogers as their junior class officers. During this year, a new sponsor, Mr. C. W. Howard, joined the ranks, filling the vacancy left by Mr. Althoff. The year's events began when a weird Halloween masquerade party was sponsored for the Whole school. Following this, most of K. H. S. witnessed a traditional perfor- mance, the junior class play, Come Out of the Kitchen. directed by Miss Pauline Tull and starring Mary May and Donald Over- ton. At the Regional tournament held in the Armory, the class, anxious to earn money for their prom, displayed their sales- manship by selling candy and soft drinks. The final social event for the year of 1938, TCD. honoring the seniors, was the junior-Senior Prom held on May 25 in the gymnasium. The atmosphere was one of delightful splen- dor, displaying a modernistic garden set- ting, presented in delicate shades of pastels. Reigning over this gala evening were Dor- othy Rex, queen, and VVilliam Rogers, king. In the final pages of the class history, we find Frank Hill, Guy Downs, and Dorothy Rex presiding over one hundred and seven- ty-nine distinguished seniors. Early fall of this year brought to the school a successful masquerade party un- der the direction of this class. Then when the first warm spring days came around, the up-and-coming dramatic members at- tended try-outs for their play f'Heart Trou- blef, Ten seniors were chosen for the cast. The production was staged on the evening of May 3 and was directed by Mr. Frank VVeller. Un May l8 of this last exciting year, the seniors were the guests at a lovely prom held for them in the gym by the junior class. This, the last social event of the year, will be long remembered by all who attended. Finally, there came the last few days when a note of sorrow wasiheard in the whispers of graduation. On the evening of May 28, these future citizens, arrayed in their caps and gowns, attended a Baccalaureate service sponsored by the Ministerial Association of this city. A few evenings later, on june 2, their achievements were acknowledged, and they were presented with their diplomas. Professor Mildred Freburg Berry, Ph. D., of Rockford College was the guest speaker of the evening. VVith this crowning event, the classof 1939, Kankakee High School, completed its career.

WISCHNOWSKI, RICHARD Art Club 2, 4. This ls What Kept Them Busy Being a senior involves many responsi- bilities. In the last year of high school such things as selecting rings and pins, measur- ing caps and gowns, and choosing a senior play are important factors. To do these tasks, competent leaders were appointed. The committee which selected samples of rings and pins for the class to vote on was composed of Chairman Dorothy Rex, john Nickols. Millicent Spence, James French, Janice Fortier, Donald Overton. and Henri- etta Evans. When it came time to record the seniors' poundage, head size, and height for caps and gowns, jean Wildman, Frances Bostick, Eugene Carraher, and Bill Cooper were there with their tape measures. In November, the seniors' held an all- school party. Several members of the class gave their time to see that the event was a success. The planning committee was com- posed of Bonnie Hendrix, Ronda Mann, Chester Koza, Eugene Carraher, Peggy Messier, and Frank Hill. Miss McGinnis, in charge of the food committee, was aided by Constance Curtis, Jean Wildman, Thomas Fister, jean Wright, Gerald Andrews, and Mary May. ln charge of the entertainment committee was Miss Freitag. She was helped by Betty Markert, Jerome Erzinger, Don Overton, Frances Bostick, Eleanor Nelson, Julia Ann Hughes, and Jack Carter. Betty Hendrix, Lucille Beauvais, Florence Volk- mann, Aaron LaReau, Herbert Kohler, Guy Downs, Jack Zopf, and Robert Gale aided Mr. Howard with the decoration. Not a little credit should be given to Sue Keith, chairman of the North study home- room programsg and to Aaron LaReau and Charlotte Stella, Hrst and second semester chairmen of South study. g In March the invitation committee, which selected six different styles for the seniors to choose from, was comprised of Chairman ,lean Wright, Donald Faford, Bill Rogers, Marion Ramien, and Jean Wildman. A senior play had to be selected and Sue Keith, Guy Downs, and Betty Markert made the choice. The ticket sales and public- ity committee was headed by Chairman Mary Jean Sellers, aided by Virginia Buckler, Peggy Messier, Jack Carter, Carl Suther- land, Albert Braun, and Jackie Powers, the property committee was composed of Chair- man Roy Downey, LaVerne Young, Robert Gale, Betsey Lockwood, Mildred Kramer, Betty Cline, and Sue Hatchettg and the program committee included Chairman Chester Koza, Verna Bevan, Frances Bos- tick, Leonard johnson, David Hicks, and Eileen Martin. Service clubs of the city entertained each month one senior girl and one senior- boy. The girls honored by being named Junior Business Woman were Dorothy Rex, Betty Markert, Charlotte Stella, Ronda Mann. Mary jean Sellers, Frances Bostick, Marion Ramien, and Virginia Buckler. Boys selected as Junior Rotarians were William Rogers, Paul Langlois, George Swaim, Jack Carter, Walter Kell, Arthur Oberlin, Herbert Kohler, Frank Hill, and Eugene Carraher. Nineteen Enferprising Juniors Sei' Pace Wifh Play and Prom lllarehing up the steps of K.ll.S last September for the beginning of their term were N98 eager, happy juniors with an eye for fun and a desire for knowledge. lixeite- ment was their motto and they planned to have plenty of it. Uesiring competent mem- bers to lead them over the bumps through- out the year, they chose Vivian Lock. presi- dent: lihner Anderson, to aid him as vice president: and john Burns, as secretary, to keep an accurate account of their interest- ing adventures. Members of the junior class sold candy at the tournament games and after school and did many things to raise money for a suc- cessful prom for their upperclassman friends. the seniors. .-Xll their money-raising schemes were not meager. however. as they presented on November l7 an outstanding comedy, which made a record in K.H.S. as having a larger attendance than any other junior l l Twenty j play previously presented. The plot of The Hoosier Schoolmasterf' an adaptation of Eggleston's novel, centered around back- woods characters of Indiana in the period of 1870 and was directed by Miss Pauline Tull. The prom, on which the class worked so hard, remained a mystery to the seniors for some time, but when finally presented, it won whole-hearted admiration. The King and Queen of the prom were elected by the guests and crowned by last year's royalty, Dorothy Rex and 'William Rogers. This, the biggest social event of the year, was pre- sented May lS. with a unique background for the dancers. The class sponsors, Miss 'Rosetta Gernon, lllr. Keith Smith, Miss Marie Beardslee, and Miss Sara Larson guided the class of '40 through the year with expert hands. Juniors, ROOM 113 Back Row: McHenry Brumitt.

The sophomores, 26-l strong. elected Thomas Ciineris, president: Ray .'Xnderson, vice presidentg and Lois Kunde, secretary. Holding to K. H. S. tradition, the class pre- sented the Thanksgiving assembly, a color- ful pantomime of Hiawatha. This up and coming group also gave a pep assembly for the return game with Chicago Heights. :Xt the beginning of the second semester. the class registration stood at 23-l. l.ast year, when these sophomores were freshies, they really stepped out in school activities, giving two assemblies for fresh- men only. ln March, a popularity contest was held with honors going to Lawrence Chappie Alberts and Betty llower. The class sponsors are Miss ,-Xris Moffet. Miss Shirley lelfers, Miss l,ula Martin, and Mr. lfugene Dykstra. l TWBf1lLy-LWO This year, the freshmen, with a September registration of 358, placed Rex Dusenbury, Bonnie jean Rogers, and Betty LaBeau in command of their class. The theme of the freshman frolic in February heightened Cupid's chances since heart and valentine messages were much in vogue at that date. Richard Piersol lead the games for the frosh, who were later enter- tained by dancing and by a floor show fea- turing songs by aloe LaRocque, a harmonica solo by Clarence Holtz, dances by Kathryn Hill, and cheerleading by Peter Azzarelli. Entrance of 9-l freshmen in February, the largest mid-year registration in K. H. S. history, increased the total second semester freshman enrollment to 429. Freshman class sponsors are Miss Vera Baker, Miss Ruth Cole, Miss Martha Mont- gomery, Miss Pearl Scaggs, and Mr. Frank llieller. The Class ROOM 206 Back Row: James Dornburg.

'Yi POWER, PERSON ALITY, SUCCESS, They Are Synonyms of BY FRANCES B0 STICK Power-the ability to govern our- selves, to contribute our share in the ever-advancing work of the world. Personality-the warm, vital charm that is so necessary to win friends and influence people. Success-inner satisfaction, not merely amassing wealth or attaining a splendid repu- tation, but experiencing that happi- ness which comes to us by completing a task, and knowing inside ourselves that it is a work well done, worthy of our effort. But how can we know that it is well done without knowledge? Yet with knowledge, how can we be sat- isfied? I am a part of all that I have met, And all experience is an arch where through Gleams that untraveled world whose margin fades Forever and forever when I movef' -Tennyson - A part of all that I have metn -in Kankakee High School-a part of her work, of her members, of her ideals. - and all experience is an arch where through gleams that untra- veled worldu-a world discovered through the magic passageways of language and literature-a realm in- to which the uneducated are denied entrance. -- whose margin fades forever and forever when I movef' A deeper understanding of the historical signi- ficance of past events leads us to conclusions which open enchanting new vistas before us, each one chang- ing as we come closer. Young minds, clear minds, working to solve some difficult ma- thematical problem, being trained to face even more difficult problems in the future-scientific, s e a r c h i n g minds, questioning the commonplace. To know one's self primarily is the purpose of an education, to know one's purpose, the result of an edu- cation. Perhaps, with this year in Kankakee High School, we have come to know ourselves more com- pletely-to know wherein our abili- ties lie, that we may more confident- ly continue our search for power, personality, success.

Thirty-seven Thirty-eight 1 aj The melody lingers on and so does the memory of one of the happiest moments of the school year. Typical of such a moment is this scene from the 1938 prom. Shown here are Van Emigh '38, Prom Queen Dorothy Rex '39 Herbert See '38, and Peggy Messier '39l Some People Find Happiness In Security Some In Isolationg Some Spiritually Some In Associations and Happenings HAPPINESS One may not always be near his friends of today, nor can he continue to have the same experiences throughout life, no matter how de- lightful they may be. But the memory of these personalities and events may be filed away in the little cabinet of his mind under the division, Hap- piness which he may explore at leisure, living again those unforget- table moments, renewing those pleas- ant acquaintances. The gay, effervescent happiness of high school days leaves many of the most treasured entries in our happiness file. The subdued excite- ment as the curtain rises on the opening scenes of the junior and senior plays, prom night with its festive formality, get-acquainted tea dances, the happy harmonies of the band and glee club concerts, the Halloween all-school party, a mys- teriously merry affair, Christmas parties in clubs and home-rooms-all these are packed away carefully a- mong the innumerable other happy activities of school life. Sports, too, constitute a major division in high school happiness. Gym and swimming classes and in- tramural sports in which we our-- selves take part have a particularly stimulating and wholesome effect upon us. What can compare with the tense, dramatic moment when the ball hesitantly circles the basket in the deciding play of the interscholas- tic tournament game, or when, with superb effort, the star quarterback dashes seventy-five yards for the final touchdown? There is triumph in the winning but there is a dif- ferent triuinph in the losing-that is the proud happiness of knowing that the team played well. In all these experiences, happi- ness plays an important part. VVith- out it, life would be a dull and mon- otonous experience. Work would be tedious drudgery-leisure would be a stagnating influence. These happy activities tend to give us a more balanced existence, making work more interesting and play more joy- ful, making life a glorious adventure. Thirty-nine l'I s In 1-he Air V' . if my i . T ' L S 5 LLL.L K. Q L,L, L bkkkA I ,, y no Of Thee I Sing 'KA good hobby and a lot of fun well de- scribes the study of music. Time passes easily and pleasantly for the one who is singing, playing a horn. or listening to some symphony orchestra. Music keeps the boy out of mischief, occupies the girl's mind, and entertains all. For the musically inclined, it provides vocational training. The K.lf.S. band and the glee clubs strive for what the school stands for-the intellectual, vocational, and personality de- velopment of all students who enter their portals. Decidedly musical and a great lover of opera is Song Director Ulive Humphrey, instructor of the beginning and advanced Girls' Glee Clubs of Kankakee High School. I have many hobbies, she said when questioned, but l think traveling-going places and seeing things-is my favorite. Miss Humphrey attended the American Conservatory of Music. Maestro George Piersol, national music director for the Ki- wanians, is director of the high school, junior, and beginning bands. :Xlthough music is his chief interest, Coach also dabbles in culinary art. He holds a B. M. from Buena Vista College and advanced credit at the University of Minnesota, Grinnell College, and Yandereook's School of Directing. Sons of Song The Boys' Glee Club this year numbered twenty-Hve good-natured, tune-loving fel- lows. Meeting in the cafeteria during home- room period every Monday, Thursday, and Friday under the direction of Mr. G. E. Piersol. they choraled such ballads as 'fDear Land of Home, The Marines' Song, Ab- sent, and Going Home. A public ap- pearance was made at Parents' Night.

Some of H s Work --- Some Is Play Nichols, Dykstra, Harrison, Weller An expert in almost every sport, Physical Education Director Anne Nichols has created new interest in athletic activity for the girls. She has an A. B. from DePauw University and an M. A. from the University of Iowa. Coach Eugene Dykstra, in addition to teaching civics, helps inspire the freshman football team, acts as line coach for the football heavyvveights, and takes complete charge of the basketball lightweights. Coach 'iUncle Charley Harrison has de- The Aim of Physical Education Is Health veloped many outstanding teams and athletes in his term as head coach and athletic director. He has a B. S. from the University of Illinois and has attended Illinois State Normal, Bradley Polytechnic Institute. Notre Dame, Butler, Illinois Wesleyan, and North- western University. Along with teaching science, supervising the stage, and coaching plays and debate. Coach Frank Pop Weller has handled the duties of freshman football coach with suc- cess for the past two seasons. And This Is Puri' of the Program The main objectives of the physical educa- tion program in K. H. S.. according to Miss Nichols, are to develop desirable health habitsg to build strong, healthy bodies, to teach muscular control and coordination: to develop character: and to teach leisure time recreational activities. To accomplish this variety of purposes, a diversified program of activities is offered, including team games, individual sports. cor- rective exercises, health lectures, dancing, and swimming. Two periods a week for two years are the physical education requirements for K. H. S. girls as well as boys. Half of the girls who once take part in any sport are interested enough to come out after school to partici- pate in their favorites. In the fall the girls played hockey, under the managership of Leona Millon. The sophomores won the inter-class tournament, 5 to l, taking the freshmen in the Hnal game. The juniors, through hard practice, de- feated the sophomores in captain ball and newcomb. Florence Chinsky and Eldona Szfranowski led the teams to victory. Dolores Busse. the swimming manager, made arrangements for a meet. The fourth year girls were highest with 35 points. Ronda Mann took honors in diving and back stroke: Ruth Thompson, crawlg and Dolores Busse, breast stroke. Alvera Hamlyn was the chairman for the G. A. A. Christmas play day. Momence, Streator, Manteno, Dwight, St. Anne, Shel- Forty-six don. Herscher, and St. joseph were guests of the K. K. K. girls. In the late winter season, four sports be- sides swimming kept the girls occupied. Darlene Lockwood, manager. announced a volley ring tournament. Aerial darts and badminton, managed by Dorothy Iflaigh. were played every night after school. The junior Kls defeated the Sequitas in a long hard battle in the basket- ball tournament arranged by Alvera Hamlyn, manager. The captain of the winning team was Barbara Johnston. The juniors proved victorious in the sec- ond interclass swimming meet. Marion VVest-- cott won in the crawl, Betty Wegner in the breast stroke, Dorothy Borella in the back stroke. and Ruth Thompson in diving. Besides flowers, Abreezes, showers, and skipping school, spring always brings with it Open House. This year the event was the highlight of the season and showed the general public what the girls had been do- ing in physical education. Volley ball, ping pong, archery, baseball, and tennis kept the girls busy until the end of the season. Tournaments in all these sports were managed by Agnes Byrne, vol- leyball: Marjorie McCracken, ping pong, and Melba Stella, baseball. The chief aim of all these activities, says Miss Nichols, is to send each girl out from hifrh school with sufficient skill and interest in at least one sport to continue it when school days are over. Organized For Spori Splash- The K Mermaids If you're a good swimmer and diver. become better. is the slogan of the K Mermaids. girls' swimming club at K. H. S. Unique in that it is the only club in school whose members meet every Weclnes- day in bathing suits. this group, organized during the fall of 38, now has a member- ship of eighteen girls, who have passed the entrance requirements: swimming Five times the length of the pool in less than two minutes: plunging, surface diving and bob- bing: a thorough knowledge of the elemen- tary strokes: and the ability to do the three simple dives. Officers are Marion VVestcott. president. and Evelyn Kunde, secretary. The emblem of thc club is a maroon K and diving girl on a held of white displayed on royal blue satin lastcx suits. During the year the girls. with the able assistance of their adviser, Miss Nichols. sponsored a Splash party. Standing, left to right: Normundin, Coash, Hopper, J. Cheffer, W e s cz 0 t tr Thompson.

A.- For State League Girls Treasure hunts, play days. camp, and tournaments are a few of the activities that keep the members of the Girls' Athletic Association interested. President Betty Hill, Vice President Eleanor Nelson, Secretary Patty Pottenger, and Treasurer Phyllis Zeisler all help the forty club members ac- complish their aim of a sport for every girl and every girl in a sport. Among their pursuits are basketball, vol- ley ball. ping pong, hockey, swimming, bad- minton, baseball, and aerial darts. Added this year was a new sport. archery, the equipment for which was purchased with money that the girls earned selling candy at basketball games. Telegraphic basket-shooting and swim- ming meets gave members an opportunity for state competition. The requirements for club membership are lOO points earned by participation in sports and the keeping of health rules. The girls concluded a busy year of G. A. A. activity with their annual sports banquet. Forty-seven N ,. Badminton's great fun for Ruth, Nina, Elsie, and Alvera. Scummy guards Red at practice. Quoting the Coach on Sports Coach Charles B. Harrison, who has success- fully coached football. basketball. and track here since l927, believes that track builds up a boy more than any other sport. However, the coach thinks that a boy goes stale, men- tally, running around a track the same direc- tion all the time. Any sport, Coach goes on to say, that has team work in it, such as basketball and football, helps a boy a great deal mentally. Basketball is more strenuous than football, especially since the center jump has been eliminated, In football you get a little rest after every down. But T don't know of any- thing that will put a boy more on edge than the kick-off of a football game. Physical education, because it makes for sound bodies, is, Coach Harrison says, one of the important courses in this school. 'fBut, he continues, there isn't enough of it. Forty-eight Excitement Fun As Intramurals Begin Along with the establishment of an extensive schedule of girls, intramural activities, there was new interest in within-the-school athletic competition for boys. Students not participating in varsity sports found recreation and enjoyment in the intram- ural program, which was supervised by Mr. Raymond Harris. It was the First year for this type of competitive sport, and the games inter- ested many who played basketball, softball, and tennis. The major attraction of the program was basketball, which brought about fifty fellows to the gym every Saturday morning. Three games were played each week. The teams usually tried to avoid the nine oiclock tilts so that they could get a little extra week-end sleep. llowever, the fellows cooperated whole-heart- edly, and those who were unfortunate enough to play at this hour usually Weren't sorry for arising from bed a little earlier. High scoring honors went to Bob Koch and Carl lfckhardt, both of Whom passed the half century mark in their season totals. George Swaim was always on hand to take care of the whistle-tooting duties. The freshmen humiliated the upperclassmen somewhat by capturing the championship with only one de- feat marked against them. ln a tournament following the close of the regular schedule, seven teams tied for first honors. The Blue Streaks and Red Streaks met in the title con- test, and the Blue Streaks won. ln the spring an intramural league played softball each evening after school. Coach Harrison V There's More to a Game Than the Score 1 1 1 Scrimmage after school-Langlois kicks as Frazier calmly awaits the impact of his comrade's unerring toe upon the pigskin. They're fierce even in practice. Note the faces as Tyree comes charging through a beautiful hole opened against Lock and Hisel by Alberts and Lord. Great teams have come and gone during the history of Kankakee High. and even in defeat these teams have played valiantly. This year's football eleven lost every contest, yet every player practiced tirelessly through- out the season and fought courageously through every game. The Kays began their luckless career on Friday. September 16, by opposing Danville on Alumni held. Against this veteran team. which scored twelve points in the first quar- ter, Kankakee tightened its defense and held the invaders scoreless the rest of the game. only to meet defeat by a 12-7 margin. John- son provided much offensive power for the Maroons. The following Friday. September 23. Coach Charley Harrison's warriors W011t to Hammond. where they met the strong Clark High eleven. A speedy and talented back- field proved too much for the Kays and they lost, 32-6. Langlois made the lone scoreg Burns and Frazier also played stellar ball. Returning to Alumni field on September 30, the Maroons dropped a hard fought 13-7 decision to Calumet City. johnson accounted for both markers. According to the officials, this game was the toughest game they had ever seen in high school competition. Bloom of Chicago Heights met Kankakee, October 7, and ran roughshod over the in- vading Kays to gain a 25-O home victory. The suburban team swept Kankakee's ends time and again. Proviso's strong football team over- powered the valiant forces of K. H. S. and defeated the Kays. 31-2, on Alumni field, October 14. Despite the Maroon's disad- vantage, the playing of Lock and Langlois was outstanding throughout the contest. Still gunning for their first victory, the Kays, as host to Harvey on Qctober 21, were set back, 33-7. A heavy line led Thorn- ton's attack. Frazier attracted much atten- tion as he demonstrated an uncanny passing ability. His toss to Downey accounted for Kankakee's only score. The Kays almost won a victory against Blue lsland on October 28, but were nipped, 13-12. The Maroons matched the Islanders in power and in the line, but fumbles cost them defeat. Johnson crossed over the goal line twice. In the final game of the season, on No- vember ll, the Maroon Tide faced the un- beaten East Aurora eleven. there. Although defeated 43-0, the Kays were the first team to advance within Aurora's 15 yard line, the nearest any team had approached the Auroran's goal up to that time. This was the last game for seniors George Swaim, Paul Langlois, Carl Eckhardt, Gene Tyree. Linn Kendall, Roy Downey, and Gerald Andrews. Forty-nine E 5 - an ,.

September 23, and they were successful in their First start as they won 7-O on Alumni field. Dusenbury made the touchdown and Schnell converted the extra point. The Kay eleven hung up victory number two when they journeyed to Momence on October l and edged out a Z-O victory in a hard fought contest. The little Kay line played an outstanding game as it provided a superb defense. The K.H.S. eleven met defeat in their third game on home soil, when they lost a heart-breaking l3-12 decision to Thornton of Harvey. Red Clawson was a terror to Harvey. as he provided most of the scoring punch. October 21 proved to be a sad night for visiting Calumet City. as the little Kays trimmed their opponents. 13-O. Freshmen-Sophomore Football On October 28 the freshmen-sophomore team was hampered by the ineligibility of several players and lost, 6-0, to Blue Island, although Scummy Lee played nobly in the backfield. The game was played as a pre- liminary to the heavyweight game on the Alumni field. Playing the last game of the season at home against Bloom of Chicago Heights, the Kay team lost by one touchdown, 13-6. on Saturday. November 5.

Fifty-one Twenty-two Gomes On the Hardwood The team that was to represent Kankakee High School in basketball during the '38-'39 season began its campaign auspiciously, when it triumphed over a stubborn Herscher tive with the score 19 to 14 on November 30. Yictory's visit was short lived. however, as the invasion of Danville on December 3 brought a 38-21 defeat. XN'ith four tough games to play in ten days, the Maroons traveled to Streator on December 6 and took a 28-20 trimming. after leading the first three quarters of the game.

Friday the 13th proved unlucky, as they lost a heart- breaking 26-25 decision in overtime to their inter-city rivals, St. Pats. The Kays won their First South Suburban League contest over lilue Tsland with a 28- 23 score on the 1atter's floor, December 16. Kankakee was host to the Bradley quintet December 21 and failed to tarnish that school's enviable record, as the game ended 28-22. ln the Christmas tournament, Vllatseka pulled an upset and the Harrisonites went down, 22-21. the night of December 27. The Kays outsmarted their older brethren, the Alumni, on January 6, 27 to 17. On January. 13. the Maroons resumed their reg'ular schedule when they encountered the strong Chicago Heights team here. The Bloom live rollecl up a 28-15 victory. Meeting undefeated 'Bradley for the second time, the Kankakee five fought an inspired battle but fell to the powerful LaHeymen, 34-15, on january 14. January 20, the Kays played a giant Harvey quintet in the K. l-l.S. gym and the visitors came out ahead, 29-15. The following night Kankakee fans found consolation when their heroes took a 24-16 victory over Calumet City, there. The new semester brought several rays of hope with the eligibility of Carl lXlcNutt and Hob Spangler, center and forward, respectively. The Kays, with a changed lineup. took revenge on Streator, 26-22, here on January 24. Blue lsland invaded Kankakee on January 27 and won, 29-21. On February 3. a sharp-shooting Danville team journeyed here to secure a 30-22 victory. The Kays, favored to defeat St. Anne, were nipped. 15-14. as the Saints won a defensive victory. On February 7, the llarrisonites had another exciting tiff with St. Patrick High and topped the lrish team, 24-20. The Maroons then lost to Chicago lrleights, 23-19, on February 10. although they gave the liloom tive a stiff battle in this away- from-home contest. St. Anne took the count over the Maroon Tide on February 14, 31-25. The Kays ended their regular season with two other South Subur- ban League losses-one to Harvey, 33-16, there on February 173 and the other to Calumet City. 24-17, in the K. H.

Building for the Future on Determined Team Although the heavyweight basketball sea- son was considered a rather unsuccessful one. every player who took part distin- guished himself in some phase of the game. Coach C. B. Harrison's tirst Five many times was made up of new faces, as he attempted to assemble a winning team. The team elected, as its captain, Paul Buck Langlois, Coach Harrison's most outstanding performer throughout the sea- son. Paul, a senior, was the team's high scorer and proved versatile at all positions. Roy Downey, senior, won a regular posi- tion on the team after starring with last year's lights. Roy, guard and forward. was regarded as one of the team's hardest workers. Lawrence 'fChappie Alberts, although a sophomore. saw much service last season and this year was one of the Kays' regular guards. Chappie,,' with his long shots, fre- quently proved a terror to opposing teams. Yern Schnell. sophomore playing his first year, often appeared as forward on the starting five. Vern gained attention through his uncanny ability at making one hand shots. Glenn johnson, junior, was first string center during the first semesterg his loss later on was keenly felt, for i'f'7tto was particularly adept at rebounding. Carl lXlcNutt, junior, took over the center position during the second semester. Carl. former lightweight star, continued his accu- rate shooting on the hardwood this year. George A l'up Swaim, senior, came up from the lightweights late in the season and captured a regular berth at guard. Trip was one of the team's best ball handlers. Bob Spangler, junior, was another mem- ber who joined in mid-year. Bob played forward and was an exceptional shot. Ray Anderson. sophomore. has the size and potential skill which should make him of great value to next year's team. Ray played at guard and ce11ter. Roland Lang. sophomore, played guard. His shooting ability and his determined efforts to improve make him a likely star of the future. According to the coach, f'He is the nlost improved player of the squad. Duane Snipe Snyder played guard and forward. Those awarded letters were Captain Langlois, Downey, McNutt, Alberts. Swaim, Spangler, Snyder. Schnell, Anderson, Lang, johnson, Managers Lock and Eckhardt. Fifty-three They Uphold The Honors The 138339 lightweight basketball team was as truly mighty as it was small in size. Despite the fact that with VValt Kell the only returning regular, Coach Gene Dykstra had found it necessary to mold together a new aggregation. the team was extremely impressive on the floor, as it began the season with a record of live straight wins. The lights can boast of never having been defeated outside of Suburban competi- tion. Among the pony victories were two each over Danville, Bradley, St. Pats. Herscher, St. Anne, and Streator, and one over Momence. ln Suburban competition, however, the little Kays did not fare so well, winning two out of eight games. The locals won from Harvey and the South Suburban champions, Calumet City. lt may also be remarked that this was the only time Calu- met City was defeated in S. S. league games. The second semester saw the loss through graduation of VValter Hefty Kell, the team's high scorer. George Trip Swaim. who provided both defensive and offensive spark for the little Kays, was also lost to the squad when he joined the heavyweights during the second term. Guard positions during the season were well fortified with capable men who divided the burden. Co-Captains Paul Bones, Lightweight Basketball Hinderer and Gerald Red-Devill' Andrews provided size and rebounding ability along with a never-give-up spirit. John Chink'l McCullough, who joined the squad at mid- year, and Paul Scummy l.ee were clever ball-handlers and fast, besides being good at defense. Clyde Green, who saw action in the latter part of the season, showed con- siderable promise. Big things are expected in the future from the team's freshman center, Elmore 'fRed Clawson, who was runner-up for scoring honors. l.loyd Spider Oakley also rend- ered stellar service at the pivot position. Coach Dykstra always found scoring punch in his dependable forwards. Bill Ribs'l jack evaded even the best of de- fenses as he went in for some impossible shots. Robert Hblughaidv Drolet, recognized as the most improved player on the squad, was steady and aggressive. George f'Weas- el Edwards was a constant hazard to his opponents, and when games were tense, he frequently tallied the needed basket. Our team was clever but we lacked height, and height is what is needed to be a South Suburban contender. Had we been able to keep the team together, we probably could have finished much stronger.

Burning Up The Cinclers -- Their Job Expecting a none too successful season, Coach Harrison issued a call for track prac- tice April l and was greeted by 60 enthus- iastic would-be track stars. lrVith but four lettermen returning, therc was a problem of just what each boy could do. After three weeks of practice a dual meet with Urbana was arranged. The Kay cinder men staged a creditable showing as they were bettered, 76-46. A promising jun- ior team also suffered loss to the host team, 512-SSM. Inspired by some new faces and improved members, the Kay tracksters triumphed, 67-55, in the dual meet with Herscher. After once hitting the victory trail. the K. H. S. team climbed to greater heights by defeating Harvey and Calumet City in a triangular meet at Harvey. The following week saw the locals, on home soil, repeat their win over Thornton by a score of 55-50. After these meets the coach placed the candidates in the positions at which they performed the best. In the l00-220 yard dashes were Orville Rorem, Gerald Andrews, and Lloyd Oakley. Running the 440 were Orville Rorem and Gerald Andrews. Dis- tance running was taken over by Lane Kohan, Frederick Herscher, and jack Car- terg the former two running the S80 and the latter, the mile. Running hurdles was the job of three able men-Carl Eckhardt, Paul Langlois, and George Swaim. In the field events John Burns, Lawrence Alberts, and Edward Hebert put the shot and threw the discus, while Harold Morrison and Bill Goodberlet proved able in the high jumping event. In the pole vault the burden was placed on Roy Downey. Broad jumping was ably taken over by Orville Rorem, Gerald Andrews, and Lloyd Oakley. The juniors had some good material. In the 100-220 yard dashes were Delmar Jean- ery, Charles Carraher, and Elroy Kerschkeg in the 660 yard run were Wendell Betts and Dick Winters. In the hurdles the juniors had Wayne Smith but lost Clyde Homan, who broke his leg in the Harvey meet. In the field events Elmore Clawson, Ray Ander- son, and Dick VVinters starred. The outstanding event of the track year was turned in by Orville Rorem in the 440 yard dash, his time in the Harvey dual meet was 50.3 seconds. To prove the success of a hopeful season. the Maroons, as we go to press, have as yet to invade the District, State, and South Suburban track meets.

Many of last year's junior actors were in this year's senior play. Despite their shaky knees and last minute jitters, the seniors very ably presented their masterpiece to a capacity crowd on May 3 in the auditorium. The three act domestic comedy by Howard Clienery was the story of a middle class family with a moderate income trying to get into the upper crust of a middle sized town.

In 1934 these two young men completed with honor their courses at Kankakee High School and finished high school football careers under the guidance of Coach Charles B. Harrison, right. The distinctions they received have brought happiness and gratitication to the people of this cityg and the former Kaymen who earned the awards have rendered another service to their high school by inspiring young people, in dramatic manner, with ideals of honor, character, and service. The story of the young man Who, having been given a message to Gen- eral Garcia, immediately set forth on the perilous journey, conquering all ob- stacles until he finally completed the task, is probably familiar to all of us. The really remarkable thing about his attitude was that he did not stop to ask where the general might be found-instead he began the search un- questioningly, for here was a SERVICE he was asked to undertake, and he gladly accepted the responsibility. SERVICE Most of us will never be requir- ed, or, should we say, privileged, to attempt so exciting an adventure, but we, too, have services to perform, which, though they may seem com- monplace and uninteresting, are just as truly messages to be carried to a modern Garcia. All through life-in the little everyday occurrences as well as in the really important experiences, you'll find the quality of service stressed-for it is the very founda- tion of modern business. It is that quality, especially, which brings suc- cess in a chosen work, and through that success, the confidence of others. Developing this quality of character is one aim of class Work, which, ,besides encouraging ideals. prepares students for citizenship and trains them in the skills which lead to service. Through the Student Council. members have worked for the better- ment of conditions in school and have endeavored to solve problems for the benefit of the student body. Another service is rendered by the student publications, Whose func- tion is to provide accounts of what has happened, is happening, and will happen, to promote all school activ- ities, and to encourage good citizen- ship. Some of the clubs strive to de- velop and train particular character- istics in their members. The many constructive activities of Hi-Y and Girl Reserves help to give impetus to qualities of leadership. With such activities and groups Working to develop the best in char- acter of each individual, the K. H. S. student increases in self-reliance, in- itiative, and cooperation, he becomes better prepared to render the superior kind of service that is so greatly needed in the business and govern- ment of the world today. Fifty-nine 'ffl Dykstra Jeffers Kranz McGinnis Smith Social Studies Give Background, Prepare for Citizenship ln other words by versatile Coach liugene Dykstra has be- come a well-known saying around school.

H.S. is Alumnus Keith Smith. who now conducts classes in so- cial science. A graduate from llli- nois with an A. 15. degree, Mr. Smith finds time to be sponsor for the Hi-Y Club. Since in the course of world events, history repeats itself, stu- dents prepare for today's problems by studying in their social science classes the problems of earlier dates. Students also are citizens, and so they enter social science classes in order to prepare for citizenship. ln these subjects during the second semester, there was a total registration of six hundred and seventy. Social science courses have built a foundation by training the young people in understanding the problems of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Reading and Recreation? They're the Same Thing Biographies, history. fiction, non-fiction, magazines, circulars, files of clippings-this is the library. Into room 309 swarm the students of the school. Every period of the day, for busi- ness or pleasure, boys and girls continue to enter and leave, getting or returning books, fifty or sixty a day. A friendly atmosphere prevails. liehind the desks, the gracious librarian and the pleasant student assistants offer help. Vin looking for fiction, has been the most frequent remark of the information and recreation seekers: yet quite often the demand was for etiquette books.

By Their Happy Smiles and Busy Ways it You'II Know They're Girl Reserves Every Monday afternoon found Kankakee High School's largest and most enterpris- ing group of girls meeting in the cafeteria. They were the high school Girl Reserves, oldest of the Y. W. C. A.'s several city school clubs. Competent President Betty Markert, viva- cious Vice President Betty Hill, capable Sec- retary Marjorie McCracken, and responsible Treasurer Mary Jean Sellers were officers for the 157 members. Helpful sponsors, who took time from busy school schedules, were Misses Sara Larson, Martha Montgom- ery, Lula Martin, and Helen Shuman. Club activities at the Y were aided by Marion Schreffler and Miss Sophia Munstedt, who replaced Miss Elsie Mann. The girls divided their activities between high school and the HY. Best loved pro- grams were the monthly picnic suppers fcomplete with dishwashingj and the an- nual Halloween costume party gay with ghost stories, witches, fortune telling, and apple bobbing. A typical meeting at high school featured singing, a brief business session, and a var- ied program. The girls enjoyed this year, a series of travel talks, discussions on per- sonality and happiness, and numerous voca- tional speakers. Joint programs with the Hi-Y and Tri-K and exchange parties with these boys completed the social activities. Highlight of the past year shines on the Hi-Y, Tri-K and Girl Reserve dance on February 21. To welcome new faculty members and girls, each semester the club gave an infor- mal tea where new friendships began. New Girl Reserves were pledged to membership and service at the autumn candlelighting ceremony. Not the least of these girls' activities was the raising of money for their part in the community and high school life. Dues, candy, and after-school doughnut sales help- ed here, under the supervision of Ways and Means Chairman Marie Peterson. At Yuletide, the girls brought cheer to the old folks at the County Home by their carol singing and simple gifts. And it was more than worth their small effort to see the smiles of wonder and genuine happiness on every beaming face when Santa Claus presented popcorn balls, candy, and presents under a real Christmas tree at the annual party for under-privileged children. Girl Reserves had dramatic as well as business and charitable talent leanings. Fu- ture actresses of the club presented Six Cups of Chocolate for the assembly on April 3. This amusing comedy centered on the situation at a college tea when the guests discover that they have a mutual boy friend. The six surprised sophisticates were Louise Simpson, Betty Bower, Betty McHie, Nancy Edgeworth, Sue Keith, and Jackie Lecour. During summer vacation, many of the girls hope to repeat their last year's camp- ing experiences. About twenty high school members camped at Tepicon, Indiana, and earned reputations with the grade school girls as water rats. Another group at- tended Camp Kiwanis at Decatur, for a pioneering season. Placing an accent on efficiency, the G. R.'s were divided into committees. President Betty Markert headed the program plan- ners, Songster Darlene Christiansen led mu- sical activities, future campers organized un- der Ronda Mann, posters and publicity were taken care of by Betsey Lockwood, while the service committee Cand that meant plenty of workj rallied about Mary Jean Sel- lers. All these activities helped the girls achieve their aim of widening their circle of friends and strengthening their club triangle. And what fun they had doing this!

Q g fn-5:2'1sf1'f ,-i4Q6w,,f'f B Action IsiWha1' Theses Boys Are Looking for Hi-Y Every Wednesday some thirty boys of the junior and senior classes looked forward to the evening meeting of the Hi-Y club at the Y. M. C. A. Formed so that good fellows could get together and promote their better mental, physical and spiritual development, the Hi-Y, through its activities, makes boys better able to become good citizens of the community. Heading the club's officers was that very able senior, Jack Carter, as president. For vice president, the group chose persuasive Bill Rogers, school leader. For trustworthi- ness and executive ability, they turned to George Swaim for their secretary-treasurer. To keep law and order, they chose Paul Langlois and Art Oberlin, popular and tact- ful members, as sergeants-at-arms. On October 21, the city of Kankakee was run by the Hi-Y and Tri-K, the official duties being taken over by the members of the two clubs. As policemen, firemen, col- lectors. and councilmen, the boys learned the privileges, pleasures, and troubles of public office. Jack Carter, as mayor, took over the executive duties, Bill Rogers head- ei the city police force as chief of police, Paul Langlois acted the role of police mag- istrate, and George Swaim was enlisted as city clerk. Other city officials included Ri- chard Berghouse, city attorneyg Elmer An- derson, building inspector, Vivian Lock, city collector, Herbert See and Thomas Cogh- lan. city detectives. Sponsoring the football banquet was one of the main activities of the club. Herbert Kohler, as toastmaster, directed the pro- gram. Wayne Wellman was the music master for the occasion. According to all reports, the banquet was a big success. The list of speakers included such notables as Cleo Diehl and Jack Ryan, Northwestern football stars, and Ade Shumaker, assistant coach at Northwestern University. The Hi-Y representatives at the older boys' conference at Peoria were Jerome Er- zinger and Donald Overton. Tri-K Twenty-five boys make up the roster of Tri-K. It is no wonder that underclassmen wish to be in this active boys' club, whose purpose, like that of the Hi-Y, is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The officers elected at the start of the school year were Harry Schrey, president, Maurice Klaiss, vice president, Robert Max- field, secretary-treasurer, and Wayne Smith, sergeant-at-arms. However, two resigna- tions were placed, and Richard Piersol and Kenneth Anderson became vice president and secretary, respectively. During the year the club held theatre parties, weiner roasts, and aided the Hi-Y in putting on a party for the Girl Reserves. Two boys, Harry Schrey and Orville Busse, represented the local club at the Old- er Boys' Conference at Peoria in December and brought back some very useful infor- mation. Sports, too, made up part of the extra- curricular activities. Entering a team in the basketball contests, the boys fought their older brothers and ended the season successfully in third place. In running the city with the Hi-Y boys, several members held responsible positions. President Schrey took over the duties of fire chief, and believe it or not a trip was taken on the fire truck, Charles Carraher was assistant chief. The office of city elec- trician was occupied by Frank Cahang and Robert Maxfield was city treasurer. Alder- men of the city were represented by Richard Farley, Kenneth Abbott, Bill Jack, Orville Busse, Grant Trailer, Bernard Nichols, Charles Crawley, Wayne Smith, jack Swaim, Bill Forbes and George Erzinger. Mr. Arthur Wunderlich, head of the Fed- eral Re-employment Bureau, Attorney Fred Stith, and Mr. Robertson, of the Y, are the sponsors, who aid the group in select- ing for their meetings speakers on vocations, aviation and diesel engineering.

Manual training classes at Departmental are superintended by Director Euclid Lam- bert, whose hobby is experimenting with air-conditioning. He has attended Hackley Manual Training School and Western State Teachers' College. Keeping up with the big league games is a hobby of friendly Teacher Fowler E.

Here accuracy in measuring, drawing, and designing trains the eyes and fingers of future engineers and architects. As long as there are trees, In the a man who knows wood and wood-working will be in demand. So reason many of the boys who enrolled in the three manual training classes this year with the idea of securing training which could prepare them for positions in one of the building industries. Other boys are attracted to this art by a desire to develop manual skill for general purposes or for the pursuit of hobbies. Lack of room made it necessary that the beginners in hammer and saw manipulation take a trip to Departmental each day for their eighty minutes of laboratory instruc- tion. Amid the grating of buzz saws, the clang of files and chisels, initiative had a fine chance to develop. The usual procedure was for the student to decide what he wanted to make, draw up detailed plans with estimates of materials to be used, and present this plan to the instructor. When the project was approved and corrected, each boy carried out his self-appointed work to its satisfying completion. Ever irl should learn In the Home the fifnegarts of cooking and sewing. Maybe this is the reason why one hundred twenty-five girls enrolled in one or the other of these subjects this year. The whistle of the tea pot and the hum of the sewing machine indicated when the Home Economics Department was well on its way to work. Candy made by the foods classes was sold at their annual candy sale, while the clothing department exhibited its work at Open House in the spring. A variety of garments, including afternoon dresses, evening dresses, formals, pajamas, and slacks, were displayed by the girls.

This year. as in the past, the Student Council has justilied itself as a governing hotly. .Nt the close of school last spring. the students ol Kankakee High elected XYilliain Rogers to the presidency over three other candidates. ln the fall, at the heginning ol the school year, George Swann and jean lYriglit were elected vice president and secre- tary-treasurer. The Council consists of one representative from each honierooin with the exception of north study and south study, which are allotted one representative lor every twenty- live seniors. The editors ol' the Kanka- lieynote. the editor ol the lianlcalceean, and the senior class president are ex-ollicio nieinhers. .Xs soon as the rush of the openinjg' days of school wore away. the Council hegan worlc. Conunittees were appointed and the so-called hall started rolling. Yllffillill Huck- ler, asseinlmly chairinan, arranged the pro- grains for the year. The special asssinhlies. also. were planned hy her and her connnittee. l'ep Chairman llorothy Rex, prepared her prograin of pep sessions for the foothall. haslcethall. and traclt seasons. llaslietliall hadges were sold to lmoost school spirit and Seventy-two to luring' in revenue. l'atricia l'oyer's proh- lein. as social chairman, was to plan tea dances and parties, Helen Holexa, a veteran in the council, was named buildings and grounds chairnian. She organized the sue- eessful campaign for clean and locked lock- ers. XYillard llrazy, another vet, was nanlecl activities chairman. His eonnnittee carried through a Courtesy Week cani- paign. During the school year the Council took part in hoth the distriet and state Student Council conventions. lietty Markert was the presiding' ollicer ol' the district convention at liloinence. Kankakee sent George Swann, XYillard llrazy, lllarjorie McCracken, and lllellma Stella to the state Convention at Peoria. The Council inaugurated a hoys' sports program this year.

Personalities Receive Recogniiion 'K' Cup Each year the Alumni Associa- tion selects from the athletes of Kankakee High School the boy who has most outstandingly represented the school in interscholastic sports competition. To him is presented the K Cup, on which his name is engraved along with the names of former great athletes of K. H. S. 1939's choice is Paul Langlois, right end and football captain during his senior year, star forward and basketball captain for two years, and member of the track team. Paul has won major letters in three sports and has twice received South Suburban recogni- tion by being named a member of the league's first basketball five. The K cup was given to the High School in 1923 by the Alumni Association and former K letter winners. ' With a four-year average of scholarshlp 95.34, Marion Ramien re- ceived this year the honor of being named valedictorian of her class. She was enrolled in the college preparatory course. As a member and officer in many clubs and as a leading actress in two class plays, Marion's interest in all extra-curricular pro- jects has been a valuable one, for she has regarded both activities and study as work to be performed thoroughly. Honor is also due these seniors, whose grades averaged 90 or higher for their en- tire high school course: Virginia Buckler, Charlotte Stella, Dorothy Byick, Florence Volkmann, Ruth Jordan, jean VVildman, Ronda Mann, Julia Ann Hughes, Elizabeth Markert, Eugene Carraher, Frances Bostick, jacquelyn Powers, Henrietta Evans, jean Wright, Evelyn Downs, Margaret Alice Stark, Betsey Lockwood, and David Hicks. D. A' R. Dependability, service, leader- ship, and patriotism are the qualities that won for Charlotte Stella the annual citizenship award given by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Charlotte, popular with students and teach- ers, started her four years here as president of the freshman class. Since then, she has been secretary of the Girl Reserves, vice president of the Commercial Club and presi- dent of the Home Economics Club. The D. A. R. award made to the senior achieving the highest grades in United States History was presented to Eugene Carraher. Eugene has been an honor student and an active member of the Latin and Com- mercial Clubs. During his four years in high school, he has won several prizes in local and state essay contests. Kiwanis Cup For the fourteenth con- secutive time, the award- ing of the Kiwanis Cup has climaxed four years of hard work for two graduating seniors. The committee which made the award was composed of Bill Cooper and Julia Hughes, senior class membersg C. A. Rollison, vice president of the Kiwanis Club, Miss Helen Shuman, and Mr. R. Y. Allison. Candidates were judged on scholarship, lead- ership in school activities, and representa- tion of the school in competition. At the time of going to press, the win- ning boy and girl are not known, but will be chosen from the following who were nominated by the senior class as a whole: Frances Bostick, Virginia Buckler, Henrietta Evans, Ruth Jordan, Sue Keith, Ronda Mann, Betty Markert, Eleanor Nelson, jacquelyn Powers, Marion Ramien, Dorothy Rex, Mary Jean Sellers, and Charlotte Stella, Eugene Carraher, jack Carter, George Gates, David Hicks, Frank Hill, Paul Langlois, Donald Overton, William Rogers, and George Swaim.

There are too many essentials to better printing service which cannot be priced in actual dollars. Yet, these mean much to the buyer of printing. For instance, there is no charge in our estimates for Experience-and this certainly is important! Likewise, our estimates do not mention such essentials as: Pride in workmanship-reputation tor good print- ing-care given to details-record ot keeping promises -reliability in making delivery dates. And so on. All these are important in saving you time and money. They are necessarily a part ot better printing service.
