Vvjg A Reflections as of Forty Years 1897 E 1937 QNNJ 1897 MOMENTOUS decision has been made, and during the last year, l.a Salle and Peru Townships have been erecting a new terra cotta high school at the corner of Fifth and Charter Streets in l.a Salle. Very impressive is the clock tower which faces the Fifth Street side. We citizens agree that we will have a school of which we can speak with pride. It nothing comes of the General Weyler insurrection in Cuba and war with Spain is not declared, there will probably be more than two hundred students to give headaches to six teachers and Superin- tendent Brooks who will take charge in September. Students are excited by the Spanish situation in Cuba, and some of the more venturesome will volunteer their services if war is declared. Does Spain realize that a large or small attendance at La Salle-Peru l ligh rests on her shoulders? 1907 Even though l.a Salle and Peru Townships are suffering from the worst panic since 1893, we have rallied enough to hire fifteen teachers besides Superintendent McCormack to take charge of the three hundred students who are attending this growing institution. New courses in Manual Training and Domestic Science have been added to the curriculum, and are becoming more popular every year. This is especially true since the Manual Training Building was constructed and equipped. Probably the most appreciated addition to the flourishing school is the lunch room which was established at the be- ginning of the second semester. Miss Josie Griffin, who was placed in charge, has become a popular figure, for everyone hails the person who helps satisfy hungry craving that comes to us at about twelve 1917 With bands playing, and student soldiers drilling, l.a Salle-Peru certainly looks like a military camp. Young soldiers proudly display their new uniforms to the envious students who were unable to join the army. L-P. grads,who have been called to the colors, are bidding good-bye to their friends before they leave for Hover there. Girls do their bit by knitting sweaters and socks for the soldiers to wear. All join in singing Beautiful Katiefx Long, Long -frail,'l and ulfeep the Home Fires Burning. Though the real import of the dangers our sons are to suffer has not yet come, we all know that the drilling, singing, knitting, and saying good-byes won't be over 'til its over, over there. . 1927 Pros erity has cast a favorable eye on La Salle and Peru Townships. Factories and the Western Clock Hgollegen are calling the students from the preliminary process of education to the great prob- lems of earning a living. Because of this boom of prosperity only six hundred students are attending EII Pe this year although the faculty membership has risen to thirty-two all of whom are competent to teach these young industrious students. Along with the boom of industries has come a benefit to education in the shape of a new building now being erected for a' junior college and high school. The Matthiessen Memorial Auditorium which will be a section of the new school is beginning to come into view. Dimmer and dimmer fade the mem- ories ofthe old Manual Training Building which at one time occupied the site where the New Building is now being erected. o'clock. . 1937 The tax payers empowered the Board of Education to take advantage of the financial aid offered by the Federal Government through Public Works Administration in order to erect a new edifice to take the place of the old, condemned Main Building. Now the work is almost completed and the stu- dents go from one class to another through spacious, newly-painted halls. However the pride and joy of all is the magnificent McCormack Memorial Library which is situated in about the center of the build- ing. We all desire to use this pleasant room as a study. Another room we all take pride in is the new modernistic cafeteria and study hall combined. With the new building, new stadium, athletic field, and new powerhouse. Ell Pe High is so changed that few believe the splendor we see is really ours. La Salle-Peru Township High School La Salle-Peru, lllinois Memories of the Past G D' , ij ,ii 'll'lll L ET us for a few brief moments recollect memories of our high school since its establishment forty years ago. l.a Salle-Peru Township l-ligh school was organized April 11, 1896, under the Town- ship Highschool System of the State of lllinois, in Congressional Township Thirty-three North, Range One East, as School District 190. Geographically spealcing the tri-cities are unique in that they are all located in a single township, La Salle and Peru being separated only be a boundary line, and Oglesby being but four miles distant with the lllinois River as a natural boundary. With these towns growing up separately so close together with their widely divergent nationalities and natural rivalries, one would thinlc that such a cooperative social undertalcing as the La Salle-Peru Township l-ligh School would be impossible, as perhaps it would have been had it not been for Mr. F.W. Matthiessen. ltwas he who first had the hope for united action through which and only through which, either town ever would have had the modern equipment and service which it has. l-lis worlc was always as much for others as for himself, and he, so well aware of what he owed to education, began worlcing for the best school available. Still no history of l.a Salle-Peru Township l'ligh School would be complete without constant men- tion of Dr. Thomas J. McCormaclc because one can almost say that he was the school, his development was its development. Dr. McCormacl4's ideal of our high school has been very well expressed in the following statement: The La Salle-Peru Township High School has an educational mission to perform. lts destiny within the next generation is by the silent and slow worlcing influences of high ideals of conduct and high standards of labor and thought effective to transform the intellectual and social fiber of our on-growing manhood and womanhood, and through their example to shape, in a measure, the future action and sentiment of the Community. Most appropriately the La Salle-Peru Township l-ligh School has been denominated as the peoples college. It has placed within the immediate reach of their children facilities and advantages, and its courses, properly pursued, supply a sufficientfoundation for most any profession, technical, or business career. Mr. Matthiessen's philanthropy was again exemplified by his donating the money for the Social Center Building, designed after the Great Lalces Naval Station Building, as a means of affording rec- reation to the employees of the plants of the tri-cities and their childiren. The year 1919-1990 was a year of building and general improvement. Entire new heating, ventilating, humidifying, and vacuum-cleaning apparatuses were installed in all the buildings, a new electric lighting system was introduced, recitation rooms and laboratories were remodeled, and individual loclcers were provided for the students. The most progressive step was in the form of a Bureau of Educational Counsel to bring to the people of the l.a Salle-Peru Township l'ligh School, peace, happiness, and human efficiencyu and especially beha- vior and conduct, since they are related to career and vocation. The next step of advancement was the new building, it being completed and made ready for occupation in April, 1998. The E L L E S S P E detail forthe decorative scheme carried outthrough this building was the worlt of Dr. fVicCormaclc. The foyer of the auditorium on the first floor is dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Matthiessen, The Annual year book pubhcdtlon Kvlxhili the second mezzanine or art lounge is dedicated to Eda att iessen. of The La Salleaperu Township l-ligh Schcgjl thas had a steady increase in atten ance ever since its esta is ment in 1898. THE SENlOR Cl-ASS lts ever widening influence has been extended from two hun- dred to fifteen hundred students. Just as the number of students of has increased, so has the number of the faculty. It has increased from thriteen to approximately sixty competent members. ln the LA S A L L E, P E R U T- H- last forty years La Salle-Peru has sent out into the world nearly 3000 graduates, ready to pursue professional, technical, and Ld Sane-peru Illinois business careers. Nor is our school without some famous sons ' and daughters who have won acclaim in the fields of business, 1 9 3 7 science, music, law, education, athletics, and medicine. Q Visions of the Future 'W s it . Q l .fl i f ' i . -i.fs:.,.g.. STRUCTURE destined to be the pride of the community. The outstanding tribute to the best that has been developed in modern schooling. An architectural accomplishment of which its oc- cupants may be justly proud. An edifice possessing ever-lasting possibilities. Such is EII Pe l-ligh, for in it we see vast opportunities for increasing greatness. We build up on our minds a vision of it in years to come. A school which will offer its students a splendid career-inspiring curriculum. One supplied with the facilities to provide a four year college course. Equipped with television and motion pictures as a means of presenting to its students a more realistic study. Radio, and along with it television, will be considered a necessity. Social and recreational acti- vities, as well as educational programs, may be brought to the school through these mediums. lts athletic undertalcings in outside communities-football, basketball, swimming, traclc-may be brought to the eyes and ears of interested listeners and well-wishers at home. l-learsay reports will be practically obliterated. Each, and all, will be able to follow activities and will not be obligated to read accounts in the news- papers to learn of the outcome. Lilcewise, through radio, students will be given a more vivid and definite picture of the subject under discussion. Radio lessons in the art of play production will be brought to dramatic classes. l-listory classes may follow current events by everyday pursuance of news flashes by well-known commentators. English classes may learn of those renowned in the field of literature by lectures coming to them through the ether. And then too, there will be motion pictures to aid students in their study. lo those in the typewriting classes will be brought films to illustrate correct posture, fingering, and approach. Science classes may actually watch the movement of protozoa as shown in pictures under great magnification. The curriculum may be so extended as to include many subjects that are not at this time being offered to students. New fields of worlc requiring slcill and experience are rapidly being opened up. To Fill the positions these create, high school pupils must have an opportunity at school to learn of these things. instruction in air conditioning, refrigeration, television, electric arc, oxy-acetylene welding, machine shop and radio may wisely be instituted. Such improvements in facilities for teaching will enable instructors to impart to students more rapidly and thoroughlythe mastery ofdifficult lessons. These new agencies will no doubt enable a teacher to handle larger classes just as efficiently as now but with less effort than required at present. All in all, there is no limit to the progress which L-P. l-ligh may malce within the next few decades. Possibilities which we can not now forsee may materialize. But for progress, there must be full cooperation with willing helpers, and we must take every advantage of our opportunities. ,3 Ell Ess Pe Staff of 1937 Editorial Board Al Castelli, Chairman Natalie Leland, Vice-Chairman Mildred Swanson Novella Kellerns Business Board Eugene Keutzer, Chairman Al Mankowski Senior Personnel Bernadine Weyand, Chairman Luella Metzinger Arlene Levan Wm.

KOHIN A man of medium stature with eyes that were stern and humorousinturn, and a slow, understanding smile-this is the Thomas C. Kohin that the graduates of L-P. keep locked in their memories. The old school, tall and massive, with Mr. Kohin standing in thecorridors helping and watching students as they pass from class to class is a picture worth remembering. As a Firm believer in tradition, Mr. Kohin pointed out the path to generations of students. This quiet, dignified men whose first thoughts were for Eli-Pe, spent the best years of his life in the service of this high school. During the thirty- eight years of his service, he saw La Salle-Peru grow from its infancy into its present size. A dignity of bearing, a sympathetic but Firm manner, a keen wit, an ability to inspire awe and respect proclaimed Mr. Kohin a true leader of men. Students and teachers realized his worth and looked to him for guidance and self-assurance. 4 ELL 'PE HIGH .Qu X . ,.' X . 4 1 nl ff- : J- ..

Now we students of La Salle-Peru High School have a truly fine school -one in which we can really take pride. We have some of the finest facilities for academic study in the state. Not only do we have these two splendid buildings and an ideal library, but we also have a beautiful stadium in which to participate in various athletic sports. Our stadium will also be used for music festivals. The land on which the stadium is located was generously donated to the Board of Education by the Western Clock Company. Our stadium will seat about forty-five hundred people which is nearly fourtimes the number of students enrolled in the La Salle-Peru Township High School. The playing field proper is three hundred feet long by one hundred and sixty feet wide, but the entire field is three hundred and ninety feet by two hundred and twenty feet. The stadium itself is con- structed of concrete, but the press box built on top ofthe stadium is constructed of aluminum. There are facilities for two teams at the south end of the field. These facilities include two dressing rooms and two showers. 7 THE WEST WING The new west wing is constructed in the same brick and Gothic style of architecture as the old wing. This wing is connected at the north end to the original new building by. a spacious hall and adjoining rooms, forming a picturesque Ll-shaped building. An open court is left between the new and old wings, and this presents an opportunity to have a real campus in the future. The west wing contains the combination study-hall and cafeteria, the new dramatics room which has the advantage of a stage, and the girls' new gymnasium. Directly below the gymnasium is the new locker room with a corrective gymnasium adjoining it. On the same floor is a fully-equipped physics laboratory. The library is the crowning achievement of the new wing. lt furnishes a pleasant place for study since it is blessed with the same gen- erous window space and flawless lighting conditions as the rest of the building. The glare of superfluous light is guarded against by Venetian blinds which are found throughout the building. The soundproof band and music rooms are another valuable feature of the new structure. Although the students of La Salle-Peru have always been fortunate in the gener- ous endowments which the high school has received, the government loan which has made the new wing possible has brought about almost ideal studying conditions. 8 '--g --uw A -aw K - - .

V 7 I ff' r . V' I, --s ui.. The word progress lhas1'meant to move, go ahead or increase in proficiency. Year by year we find advancements made in every field of life. Some advancements are made slowly, others rapidly. Never- the-less they forget their way to the front to gain recognition. ln our community notable progress has been made in the educational field. The l.a Salle-Peru Town- ship l'ligh School represents proficiency in education. As an institution of learning, it has forged ahead and gained recognition. From a tiny school in the late nineteenth century to a well-equipped and well directed educational center-that is the story of La Salle-Peru's progress. For a community of our size we are fortunate to possess such an educational institution as l.-P. l'ligh. ln it are Fields of opportunity for all students, organizations of more than ordinary interest, athletics for sports-minded youths and an excellent faculty. l.a Salle-Peru gives the student an opportunity to malce friends,gain lcnowledge, cultivate person- ality, follow particular vocations and further develop his character. During his school life certain in- cidents are imprinted upon the student's mind, never to be forgotten. All in all the student thoroughly enjoys his stay at this school, and it is with a sigh and a countenance that the graduate leaves his Alma Mater. During the school's rise to prominence certain generous friends aided greatly. Through con- tributions the high school and junior college possess many worlcs of art which are especially notable in an institution of secondary education. There are a half dozen original oil paintings, several largetap- estries, twelve busts, in both marble and bronze, approximately thirty etchings, fifteen engravings, and imported carbon reproductions,mezzo-tints,and photogravures to the number of one hundred thirty-five. Through the generosity of many persons and the liberal provisions of the Township Board of Education we are able to enjoy a remarlcable library. ln it are volumes of considerable value, which are especially useful for research work. ltalso possesses numerous reference boolcs, some in foreign lang- uages. The Matthiessen Memorial Auditorium is another outstanding feature of our high school. Mrs. Eda Matthiessen and Mrs. Adele Blow made its construction possible, and it has been dedicated to the late Mr. and Mrs. F. W, Matthiessen. The former also contributed an Aeolian organ and a Stein- way Grand piano. The citizens of the community have played an important part in the progress of the high school. To them and to all who contributed to the high school the Class of '37 speaks with sincerity when they say, We are thankful. 14 ELL PE TRADITIONS N79 Q We , s . Trista msgs! .Wu M' lf'- aailr' Come all students of L-P. High, We will shout our cheers to the sky With our colors flying on high, Loyalty will never die. ERE at La Salle-Peru we have traditions which we fondly cherish, and rightly too. To play against St. Bede's in all athletic contests, especially football and basketball is something that we always look forward to with great hope and expectation. To us here at L-P. High, that had become an accepted tradition. Just as we patiently wait for the season to roll around so that we can play St. Bede's, then too the Thanksgiving football game encourages us to attain greater success than that which we now enjoy. The Blow Medal, given through the generosity of Mr. George P. Blow, is a traditional award and a very much coveted honor. lt is given annually to the graduating senior boy who has excelled in general athletic contests, who possesses leadership and character, and who has been of service both to the school and the community. The first award was given in 1992. The Old Boys' A. A. Banquet has been held every year so long that it has become a tradition here at Ell Pe. lt is a get-together for the football teams, both heavyweight and lightweight, the coaches, the superintendent, and an outstanding guest speaker is usually present. At this banquet new football cap- tains are elected and football awards are handed out. Traditionally speaking, as each season in its turn rolls 'round, one or another class or classes at La Salle-Peru High School presents a program Fitting to the occasion. Some of these are Armistice Day program, a Thanksgiving assembly, and a Christmas convocation. The honor of participating in the Chirstmas program presentation has been traditionally handed down to the Freshman Girls' Chorus, which annually presents a splendid program. Here at L-P. every student, looks for- ward to Tuesday afternoon, 1:55. Why? Because it is then that we have our weekly get together in our splendid aud- itorium. On that day we have programs, be it home talent or professional appearances. Every student who feels that he has any ability can try out for one of these weekly all-school home room programs. This home-room system of school government is another of our accepted traditions. Report cards are issued every six weeks through the home-rooms. Naturally, some look forward to this day with high hopes and expectations, while by the countenances and downcast looks of others, it is easy indeed to surmise that it is report card day. The sophomores at Christmas give a Christmas party for the members of the faculty, each of whom is presented a gift. Each junior class displays its dramatic abilities in the Junior Play. By the process of repetition it is now the practice for the senior class to present the Senior Play which all eagerly await. ln the late spring of the last two years the juniors have sponsored a party, known as the Junior-Senior Party. At this party, the queen, a senior, is chosen by popular vote. 15 ,THE ADMINISTRATION U I-IE AIM of La Salle-Peru Township l'ligh School is to surround the high school pupils in the district with that type of environment which will be conducive to the highest development of each individual. What is fundamental, and what is fad and frill in the curriculum depends on the individual that is being considered when judgment is passed. For someone who has musical ability, courses in band, orchestra, and music history would be fundamental, but for such a student excess math- ematics might be fads and frills. ln this highly developed industrial community, ecomonic con- ditions determine the extent of schooling. About ninety out of every hundred students seelc employment upon graduation or shortly after. For students who plan to leave the scholastic atmosphere to step immediately into business or factory, some subjects may be mere fads or frills while other subjects with technical trend might have a moreinatural and practical interest. I Indecision on the part of the student causes problems for the administration to solve. ln some cases the student decides to go to college only to discover that the college preparatory course Y I holds for him nothing but distress. This student alter a year or two DOCTOR JENSEN of fruitlessly seelcing interest in one subject after another finally finds that the commercial course opens a door into a more pleasant and for him as yet an unexplored universe. ln other cases it is the commercial students who suddenly learns that his chief desire in life is to continue on the long enjoyable path of education which will lead to a college of his choice. Therefore a change in course and subject matter, is necessary. The problem presented for solution to the Administration is to see that each individual receives the requir- ed credits for graduation in the program of studies he has selected. Probably the problem next in importance and awaiting solution is that of students who experience difficulty in their studies. After careful examination and research into the source ofthe difficulty the dis- covery is made that one student is struggling through a course because his best friend has registered for it. When the student has chosen a course that has no interest for him, he may create his own interests and thereby malce himself a nuisance to everyone. I-lowever, often times at the suggestion of an instructor, the student changes his course to one that holds for him more pleasure, then subjects cease to be just required worlc and become pleasant recreations. Thus valuable knowledge and a certain amount of vocational guidance is extracted from studies that the individual considers enjoyable pastime. At times hobbies develop out of these studies, and later the hobby becomes a vocation. For example,a person who derives pleasure from drawing designs may not consider putting this gift to any practical use until after he has taken Industrial Arts. Every semester new problems face the Administration. Each problem must be solved to fit the in- dividuals needs. Students are not lilce mechanical products all made on the same pattern, but each has an individual life interest. To discover this interest and to aid whenever possible in its development is the desire of the Administration. 'I6 John Young, Oglesby, President H. E.

Our dream of beauty has come true. This magnificent edifice we owe to all who have labored so loyally to make this dream ofours a reality. For all of this we are especially indebted to the unselfish devotion of much time and labor of the Board of Education. Their tireless and generous efforts resulted in the construction of the new addition, and as a result it is one of the most beautiful high schools in the middle west. They have made our castle of air a castle of brick and mortar. The students of La Salle-Peru appreci- ate what has been done for them and wish to use this as a medium through which to express their gratitude to the Board of Education. Congratulations, to you, Board Members! We of L-P. High School are most fortunate in possessing several real godfathers, namely, the Board of Education. The members of this Board have contributed lavishly of their time and service to the perfection of the standards, the efficiency, and the equipment of our school. They are, as it were, a medium between the school and the public. They are the advisers of the administration, and at the same time, the voice of the public. The Board of Education orders our days well. We owe much to them. They are the brake to our too great exuberance, the stimulus to our weak purpose. Furthermore as a school we wish to thank the Board of Education for its continual and mighty efforts to better school life. ln order to express our appreciation and gratitude for the Board's many accomplishments, we de- dicate this page to that most deserving group. -Vlncentl Dlmond' Ld Salle J.

THE SUPERINTENDENT Dr. Frank A. Jensen, the educational administrator and executive of La Salle-Peru, has been with the high school and junior college only a brief term, but his success has been obvious in this short time. He is widely known in the field of education,and his enthusiasm for all methods which indicate educational progress is marked. He selects and weighs new ideas with care, and, after they are put into practice,he carries them through with the success and driving force of an effi- cient executive. He is at all times the friend of the students,and he knows their preferences almost as well as they do. He has a pleas- ing personality and a warm friendliness which make a conference with him a pleasure rather than a task. His quick grasp of situations and difficulties makes even a few words with him valuable. l-le is frequently seen in the halls, he manages to be everywhere at once and at the right time. As time passes and La Salle-Peru builds a greater reputation, Dr. Jensen will be remembered as a man who made educational progress and fostered successful management. 'l8 HARRY L. WILMOT Ph. B., University of Chicago. A. M., Columbia University. THE DEAN Dean Wilmot, the student's adviser, is a strong champion ofthe ideal educational environment, an environment which promotes thinking, acting, hoping, feeling. He is a Firm believer in the principle that L-P. High must offer subjects and courses of study varied enough to meet the needs of all. ltisthe business of the school to adjust the students to society. The students, however, must be willing and ready to gain the knowledge that will Fit them to their environment. When properly adjusted to society, the students have much knowledge, are willing to cooperate, have the right attitude of open- mindeclness, of tolerance, of obedience. 19 Leslie Hoenscheid B.

With the completion of the new building, the first of many dreams of those interested in the welfare of l.-P. was realized. Now the students are safe. There no longer is any need for the twelve-hundred students to cross Chartres Street every day at the end of each of the six periods. The condemned Old Main, which was a fire trap, is no longer used. The health hazard was some- what removed because now the students in going from class to class do not have to go outside in all kinds of weather. The class rooms are large, well-lighted rooms where the students may study and recite at ease. Those who dreamed of making l.-P. one of the greatest institutions in the state of lllinois can see their dream gradually unfold itself before them in reality. ln olden days a person was not considered cultured unless he knew French, German, or Latin besides his native language. The same opportunity presents itself before the modern student who has only to sign up for the language that he wishes to learn. NEW ENTRANCE-VESTIBULE NEW MAIN ENTRANCE Who is really educated unless he appre- ciates music and art? Classes at La Salle-Peru open to the students a new world of music and art which, as they learn to appreciate, will give much pleasure to them in this world. Stu- dents learn to discriminate between the valu- able pieces of art and thatwhich is cheap and tawdry. What makes a picture valuable? What makes one piece of music more pleasing to the ear than another? Few really know the answer, and yet everyone should. This doesn't mean that everyone should be an artist or a musician, because this would be an impossibility, but everyone should learn to distinguish and appreciate great works of art and music. From time immemorial people have tried to express their opinions and amuse their companions by the use of the stage. A new era of acting, public speaking, and stage make-up can now be presented to the student because of the new building. A small com- pact stage in the dramatics room makes pos- sible the dreams of many students who hope that some day their names may be in lights. Besides this smaller stage is'the Mattheissen Memorial Auditorium stage which is the pride not only of all students but also of all citizens of the tri-cities. Those who take MATT!-IIESSEN MEMORIAL ENTRANCES ALUMNI WINDOW public speal4ing may at sometime in the Iuture be our statesmen. At that time they will be thanltful lor the opportunity that they had lor learning to pronunce each word clearly and distinctly. Besides languages, art, music, and dram- atics, La Salle-Peru I'Iigh otlers the students many technical courses. These are not only of value to them but are also a lot ol lun. Such subjects as art metal and worlc shop can be had now, and in the luture printing will also be available. Printing will probably stimulate Journalism, which may expand into various branches in this Field. Now only the problem ol writing and copy reading is studied, but in the future the malceup ol the paper, which the classes will put out, will be solved by the budding young journalist. Only a short time ago comparatively little was lcnown about science, but modern scientists have spent both time and money on experiments. Science, in all its branches, is a fascinating and interesting subject. Those who have thoughts of becoming doctors, nurses, chemists, chemical engineers, or of entering scientific research need the general background of science which can be ob- tained in school. Our laboratories are as complete as possible for a high school. Each year new improvements are made and more equipment added. Each year new and more students talce advantage ol the opportunities offered. For all subjects, reference boolcs are nec- essary. The Mccormaclc Memorial Library around which the school revolves supplies the wants ol all students and teachers. Books, periodicals, and pamphlets Fill the shelves ol this massive room. Willing librarians, and student assistants quiclcly and easily aid the the student in Finding the material desired. Interests outside ol studies are foremost in many minds-especially those with an athletic bent. Even those who do not par- ticularly care for sports look with awe and wonder on the grand, new cement stadium which furnishes seats for those who attend football games held in the bowl shaped Field. A new athletic Field is also being constructed with room for a traclc and other sports. ln addition to the athletic fields there are two gyms-the old, large one is used by the boys For baslcetball, volleyball, and other gymnastic exercises, while the smaller, new gym is used by the girls. This new gym is complete with loclcers and showers. Not only is this gym used by the girls lor their gym classes, but many high school social functions are held here. Thus as the progress of the new im- provements near completion, excitement and dreams lor the future reach the highest pealc. Located in the center of the high school is the McCormack Memorial Library. This contains about nine thousand volumes, one hundred fifty bound volume magazines, and eighthundred unbound copies. Source books, texts, and reference books are numerous. There is a large section of fiction. The Dewey system of classification is in use here, and books are accordingly sectioned. On either side of the library itself are small conference rooms, five in all, which are set aside for special and group study. One isthe office of the librarian, next to it is the work- room. Another is the room for periodicals. The staff of librarians, headed by Miss Maysel Baker,and including Miss Helen Lenski and Miss Elizabeth Cummings, are capable and efficient. By taking advantage of the efficiency of the librarians and the value of the material to be found here, every student is given a splendid opportunity of acquiring knowledge easily, readily, and pleasantly. The East and West corridor of the new wing is lined with olive green lockers on the north side. The wall space above is hung with pictures. The kitchen and the lunchroom also occupy this side of the hall. Triple doors lead out into a brick-walled vestibule which is lined with bas-relief on either side. Doors lead into the cafeteria-study-hall. A second set of triple doors open into a vestibule in which is found the dedicatory plaque. Cross- ing the colorful hall with its bright blue ceil- ing, cream-colored walls and brown and blue floor, one reaches the library, which with its conference rooms occupies an entire side. Glass display cases in which the exhibits ill- ustrate the relationship of the library to the various departments of study, are found on either side of the library entrance. The sewing room is a spacious well-lit room with oyster-white walls and a rose colored ceiling. Two groups of windows furnish the light. The several closets may be used for storage purposes, and adequate table space is provided for cutting and assembling. The ironing-boards are located near the windows where the light is best, and the generous supply of sewing machines assures rapid completion of the final creative work. Blue and brown prevail in this room. The walls, the upper part of light blue and the lower part of a dull brown, give a cheerful tone and restful note to the room. Rhythms of blue and brown cover the floor. Even the bul- letin boards are of a brilliant blue. Besides the extra window space, a sky- light and the light blue walls have been de- signed to conserve as much as possible the natural light. The room is practically sound proof being provided with a Celotex ceiling. The room accomodates from one hundred to one hundred and fifty students. Opposite the choral room and connected with it by a small ante-room is the band room. The light cream colored ceiling is of Celotex which makes this room practically sound proof. Rhythm floors of blue and brown harmonize with the yellow and blue walls. Large win- dows with Venetian blinds and Skylights provide adequate light. Adjoining this large room are smaller ones used for various band activities. The new study hall affords students the opportunity of study with the best envir- onment possible. ltseats approximately Q50 stu- dents and is made use of every hour except the fourth when it is converted into a lunchroom. The walls are cream-colored,and on the south wall are hung oil paintings. Entrance may be gained through double doors at the southeastern end or through two sets of double doors at the east end. Thirty-four tables at each of which eight students sit makes it possible to convert the study room into a lunchroom at lunch time. The girls' new gym not only provides the girls ample room for daily classes but it also affords students the opportunity to hold their social events in it. The hardwood floors are excellent for dancing, and there is sufficient room for 'IOO couples. The lighting system provides the necessary light, ancl if less light is desired floor lamps are used. Decorations of balloons and streamers make the gym all the more attrac- tive. The EII Ess Pe party and the Junior- Senior party were held here as well as several junior college dances. Lockers are on both sides of this second floor corridor of the west wing. Looking from north to south we see various class rooms- two mathematics rooms, a general science laboratory, a physics laboratory, and the main floor of the girls' gymnasium. The walls above the lockers, and the ceiling are of cream-color. The floor is of tan and blue tile. Most interest- ing of the things in the corridor are the two- faced clocks at the end, and the drinking foun- tain in the center on the west side. The foun- tain is inserted in the wall, around which which is an arch of red-face brick. The room which is used during the greater part of the day for study is at noon-time utilized for the serving of meals to the student body, faculty, and visitors. This combination cafeteria and study-hall is situated in the northwest section of the high school building. Its seating capacity is three hundred twenty. Those re- sponsible for the serving of meals are Mrs. J. C. Schalla and Mrs. J.Janewicz,and as their assistants they employ interested and capable high school girls. Electricity is the keynote of the kitchen proper-electric potato peeler, electric masher, electric soup kettle, electric dish washer, a large electric range with two roasting ovens, a large bake oven, and an electric air fan, the circulation of which keeps odors from the study hall. Perhaps the most unusual point is the huge built-in electric refrigerator. The kitchen has an attractive appearance, with its green and cream colored floor, and cream colored ceiling. Other interesting features are the tables: pastry table, salad table, serving table cooks' tables, and a work table all of which contains room for pans and other utensils. The capacious stock room in which foods are stored is at the south west corner of the room. On entrance into this long room, one's first impression is that of an ideal typing room, with its ivory white walls and spacious bulle- tin boards. ln the front of the room is a black- board, and near this is the teacher's desk of light oak. The typewriters reston green leather- topped tables that stretch across the room. There are several cabinets for filing and stor- ing supplies. Light enters the rooms from a row of windows on the west side and from a skylight above the teacher's desk in the front of the room. A great deal of the wall space in the history rooms is devoted to bulletin boards. Here are placed interesting data or other material relating to history contributed by the students. Special note is given to the amount of light that enters the room in order that the students may have the best advantages for study. There are approximately thirty-six desks in this typical history class-room. An attempt is made to present the study of history in such a way that the students will enjoy it and take real interest in the subject. ln the chemistry room there are five work benches. Each table has a double shelfcontain- ing bottles of acids. At the back of the room are shelves containing chemicals. The students are free to conduct their own experiments. This laboratory also contains a long bench beneath the windows, at the west of the room. The lecture room is on the south side of the laboratory. The chief attraction of this room is the long demonstration table. Entering the first floor of the new building on Fifth and Chartres Street one finds the wood shop room to be the first room to the right. The shop room is equipped with work benches and is sufficiently large to accomodate approximately thirty-five students. Adjoining this room is found a room containing lathes, drills, planers and several saws. To the north is found a small compartment where the completed woodwork is allowed to dry. Off to the right and left of the first room are found a small office for the instructor and a caged tool room. Very few high schools and not many colleges can boast of a training room so completely and well-equipped as that of La Salle-Peru Township High School and L-P-O Junior College. Equipment includes a cliathermic machine, used for treatment of major sprains and muscle bruises, a therapeutic light used for minor in- juries, two training tables, medicine cabinet with a stock of liniments, disinfectants, gauze bandages, tape, etc. All items of equipment are finished in white enamel and kept spot- lessly clean. The restrictive class in health education aims to remedy or correct as far as possible, physical defects of students advised against participation in regular class activity, and the prevention of further development of hazards to health through neglect of such students. Defects are diagnosed by the physician making recommendations for the student and, in add- ition, the abilities, both physical and mental, as well as the likes and dislikes of each student are taken into consideration in setting up the requirements For the individual. Storage room is in abundance in this physics laboratory. A special room at the south con- taining a repair bench, and a photographic dark room, is used for this purpose. A place for storing chemicals and other materials is in the cabinets on the side. Built-in work tables covered with a chemical-proof tops are on the west side of the room. Eight laboratory tables and the lecture table are equipped with hot and cold water, and with direct and alter- nating currents. The lecture table is also equip- ped with compressed air. The bookkeeping room is a large room containing desks which resemble those of an office and oFFer generous drawer space. The room has ideal lighting conditions with a skylight and a long row of windows. The walls are the white, which is so prevalent in the new wing, and the Floor covering is brown. The desks have the dark green covering which offers protection for the tops. General metals trains boys in a variety of metal working activities. They begin working with cold metal and making boxes, trays and hammers. Other operations are forging, welding, and sheet metal work. Decorative magazine stands, flower stands, and baskets are all made by this method. This training will undoubtedly be useful later in life, for the work done is very practical. The work is all done in a spacious room on the ground fioor of the east wing. Art metal, a course for girls, offers de- signing, and develops creative abilityin fashion- ing of such items as trays, jewelry, and dishes. The articles they make are practical as well as decorative. Yearly this course continues to draw more and more girls. Thus it can be easily seen that the course is one of interest from which much pleasure is derived. The class- room is on the ground floor of the east wing, and is equipped with all the necessary re- quirements for this work. 4 The girls at Ell Pe High now have an excellent gym all to themselves. ln addition they have adjoining the gym very modern lockers and shower rooms. At the north end of the gym is the instructor's office and a corrective room. The gym proper is equipped with facilities for playing basketball and volley- ball. The ceiling is of Celotex and absorbs effectively all sounds which otherwise might disturb nearby classrooms. All in all, the girls are extremely fortunate is possessing such a wonderful gymnasium. Located on the third floor of the new building, the biology room remains one of the most interesting rooms of the entire school. lt is equipped with fourteen table-top desks accomodating from twenty-eight to thirty people. To the rear of the room is the green- house containing plants and fish. Built-in cabi- nets are featured along the east and south wall containing specimen of birds, sponges, fish eggs, birds' nests and a variety of other bio- logical flora and fauna.

He is followed by his efficient secretary, Rosemary Dee. President Lorencki is also widely known as an ex- perton blondesand their singiular ways. The next arrivals are Marien Gunther, the world-famous concert singer, and her composer-accompanist Alice Huling, who has just completed the writing of an opera which Miss Gunther will sing next season. Ross Miller and Eugene Keutzer, successful partners in business, have just arrived by plane from San Francisco long enough to participate in the class reunion. Bernice Nelson and Vyrl Wallace arrive together, Miss Wallace is now a famous dress designer,and Miss Nelson acts as her business manager. Miss Wallace has come into most of her wide reputation by designing clothes for Lois Vroman, the film star who will arrive presently. Karl Langham, the second half of the famous movie team, will also be present. Entertainment will be offered by William Schweickert and Joe Frank, who are widely known as comedians. Betty Farley, famous ballerina, will entertain with her latest terpschorean creation. Natalie Leland, l.l. S. Senator from lllinois, will be a speaker to-night as will the renowned journalist and magazine owner, Al Castelli. His Co-editor Barbara Burke will also attend. ' Pete Anuzis, new Olympic swimming champ, arrives in company with the track star, Del Hahn, and their trainer, Will- iam Novak, who has also been recognized as an athlete. The Ray Sisters arrive breathless and none too soon forthey have been touring Europe with their light-opera company. They are accompanied by their publicity and business managers, Audrey Stickney and Betty Tate. Eva Moalli, Miss Crocker's protege, who has won fame by her latest novel Away With The Wind, hurries in and she is followed by Robert Anderson, who has just discovered the fourth dimension. lda Caresio, who makes record time on her typewriter, is just discussing the trick of being a secretary with Bernadine Weyand, who still hasn't completely grown up. Helen Pearce has entered, and Paul Bone, general chairman of the reunion, is instructing herwhere to register. Miss Grace Evans, Gracie Allen's new rival, enters with Edward Malone, who is another stooge like George Burns. Leroy Mattson, who is usually on Malone's trail, follows up, he is now a renowned sports reporter. Novella Kellems grows steadily more argumentative, for she and Mr. Wales are having a little argument in the corner- Oh, l see! Mr. Wales defies Novella to prove her latest theory. They are interrupted by greetings from John 'McLean, who is now creating a plan for the greatest skyscraper ever to be built, and Shirley Wasserman who writes slogans for a candy and gum factory. Mary Stevegnone, the renowned bacteriologist and Dr. Oliver Doan, better known as Bud to us, enter in a serious conversation which delves deeply into the mysteries of science, however, when the doctor sees his old friends, Al Cas- telli and Eugene Keutzer, he abandons further discussion. Lucille Coughlin is getting political data from Natalie Leland for her new fiction book which deals with conditions in America, and Lorenz Martens, renowned economist, adds valuable suggestions. Hunter Bowie, who has spent several years in Russia, explains the Russian government, and when Joe Frank adds his opinions on Communism everyone is confused. Even Miss Held and Mrs. Hartwig leave for a drink of water before the discussion is continued. Gertrude Busgen, another Hollywood representative, almost thinksushe is in the wrong place until William Novak beckons her to come in and not to mind the noise. Mary Born, who has just married a multi-millionaire, steps out of her beautiful car in a maze of furs, and jewels and Tommy Clydesdale, who is just a gigilo, looks on with sad eyes. However, he will feel better when Miss Martin has him recite lines from Hamlet. Bonnie McCloughan, the torch singer whose popularity is fast growing, bumps into Don Fleming and things really begin happening. Everyone is here now. Oh no! Al Mankowski and Joe Arkins dashin at the last minute. Surprising, or is it? Al is now the new family banker for the Northern Trust Company, and Joe Arkins has been amusing Broadway in a new musical comedy. We remember way back when Miss Gould gave him his start. Earl Lange, the second Rudolph Valentino, another protege of Miss Gould, is also wandering about with Harold Clay, who now owns a news- paper. Bud Kratz, who has just returned from his round-the-world jaunt, will also be present with his companion-in-travel, Earl Monari. Renowned football coaches Joe Koss and Bernard Dillon are also be to banquet guests. Mr. Graham will debate on the subject Social Problems of To-day with Novella Kellems who is rapidly becoming world-famed in this field. Henry Wachter has taken time off from the management of his great theatre in New York long enough to attend the banquet and reunion. Stewart and Morrow, the dance team extraordinary, will entertain, and music will be furnished by the Ellworth Danz Orchestra with violin solo selections by Beverly Morrow. States Attorney Gordon McNeilly and his wife, a well- known brunette of the '37 class have promised to put in an appearance. The whole lobby is crowded with celebrities and as the crowd moves toward the dining room for the banquet it is easy to see those residents of La Salle-Peru and Oglesby who have remained intheirown locality mingle in perfect har- mony with those outstanding personages who stand out from the crowd. As the party moves into full swing, Frank Scoop Pauline who has been talking to Don Fleming, journalist, who with his gossip column presents Walter Winchell with great competition, dashes out to inform the local newspaper of all the latest reports concerning the '37 class which is known around the world for its famous people it members.

Junior Home Rooms 316 307 317 Q17 906 31 5 309 907 900 ln forty-seven Home Rooms at 8:15 o'clock are assembled the students of La Salle-Peru. The Home Room has been in effect three years, but this year marks a change in its program. ln each of the rooms are about 30 or 35 students and an adviser. lts objectives are to develop desirable pupil-teacher relationships, to guide each student morally and physically and to develop good ideals and habits of citizenship. The teacher aids the student in selecting subjects of study that will be for the betterment and enjoyment of the in- dividual. Such a course as a student is advised to take will be in keeping with the wishes of the parents, for they sign the classification slips, thus putting their approval on the courses suggested. The teacher, too, handles personnel work and thus comes to know the student's activities, recreations, vocational plans and his desires for the future. The Home Room, then, is a service for the student. He is the center of interest and is to be guided in acquiring a thorough education following his own particular interests. ln many home rooms, entertaining as well as educational pro- grams are carried out each week. lt is more than a study period. Rules of society and better living are discussed. Infor- mation that may prove valuable to the students in school or in the social or business world is furnished. Here, each student has an opportunity to express his opinions in the presence of other classmen and an instructor who may help set right false views and opinions. Here, by engaging in the program of the Home Room,a student may discover talents thatbefore were not known to be his. A The Home Room-a service to students-helps him to get along with the world and himself. MISS CROCKER'S H. R.-323.

I r A ,7, A 72 Waving the Banner Waving the bannersl The banners of scholarship. The banners of athletics. The banners of music and the banners of commercial awards. ln their scholarship the students show their ability to concentrate, to do intensive work, and, to collect and assimilate knowledge. As a result of four years of excellent scholarship, leadership, character, and service thirty-five seniors were elected to the National Honor Society. For the maintenance of a nineteen point average for three semesters seventeen students were presented with High Scholarship Legion pins. Ten students had already been awarded these pins. A total of ninety-five students maintained the nineteen pointaverage for one semester. A total of three hundred and four students maintained the fifteen point average which is necessary to be listed on the Honor Roll. Quill and Scroll'-Seventeen seniors were inducted into the Quill and Scroll, the national honor society for high school journalists, for outstanding work done either in journalism classes or on the annual. Athletics-The heavyweight basketball team did something never before accomplished in the school: that is, the winning of both the regional and sectional tournaments to qualify for the State, the lightweight basketball team tied for second place in the Big Seven Conference. The Cavaliers' track and field squad was outstanding. Adolph Strell proved a champion in hurling the javelin to an official new state record. Distance from other Big Seven schools prevented La Salle-l3eru's activity in competition of golf and tennis with other members, though La Salle-Peru was in the state finals at the University of Illinois. Honors in Music-Special awards are given to outstanding band members. Gold medals are given to each band member who played a solo or plays in an ensemble in the district contest and wins first place. Silver medals are given to second place winners, a much finer gold medal is given to first place winners at the state and a fine silver medal is given to second place winners. ln all, there were eighteen gold medals and nineteen silver medals won at the District contest. There were eight gold medals and fifteen silver medals won at the State contest. Commercial Awards-Advanced students may compete for 'IOO-word certificate awards and 'IQO-word pins. Elementary students attempt to win an 80-word award. Ten students this year won 'IQO-word pins, eighteen won 'IOO-word certificates and eight won eighty word certificates. The de- partments most active organization is the Transcript Club. ' . .Lili ' ess.

LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL The La Salle-Peru lncas, under the tutelage of Walt Ty Tyler, had a fairly successful season. ln a schedule of nine games, they won 3, lost 5, and tied 1. They were the victors in games with Ottawa, E. Aurora, and Joliet. ln the Big Seven Conference, they won Q and lost 4, which placed them in the fifth position in the Final standings. Even though the season was not remarkable, much praise should be accorded Ty's inexperienced boys, who displayed splendid cooper- ation and coordination. Developing slowly, the boys displayed a Fighting spirit with which they encountered all opponents. Playing Joliet in the Final game, which they won by a score of 19-O, theywere acclaimed as the best lightweight team of the year by many Joliet followers. Mouse Coulter and Chink Zevnilc were the outstanding players. Letters were awarded to: Co-captains Coulter and Lange, Lorencki, and Parsons, all Seniors, Zevnik, l-lolsinger, Lent, Tregonning, Gibson, Ward, Mattiazza, Bill and Dodo Hancock, Loebach, Gorishek, Meisenbach, Wroblewski, Strell and Porter, all underclassmen.

VARSITY FOOTBALL This year the La Salle-Peru I-Ieavyweights went through a disastrous season in which only three of the nine scheduled games were won. After enjoying a successful first year in the Big Seven in which the L-P. eleven made a strong bid for the conference championship, this year's victory-less conference record was hard to take. Sickness and failure of some ofthe hopefuls to return to school placed Butch Nowack in such a position that he inserted a few inexperienced boys in the regular lineup. I-lowever, handicaps in the form of injuries, which were frequent, prevented the team from developing into a strong contender. Although the boys had no practice field, and had to play all of its games on foreign soil, they displayed a fighting spirit which marked the teams of old. I Butch's boys lost all their games in the Big Seven, however by glancing at the scores one may readily see that not one of the games was lost by a large margin. When the team played the Big Seven champions, West Aurora, they were downeditby a 7-O score. Surely that does not indicate that L-P. is out of its class in the Big Seven. To offset the six defeats in the conference, the team trounced St. Bede's, the previously unbeaten Ottawa eleven, and the traditional rival, l-lall. The play of Punk Dillon, Stanley Jaross, Tony Sorrentino, and Joe Koss, who were placed on the Big Seven all -star team, marked the '36 performance of the La Salle-Peru Heavyweights. Graduation will take its toll of the heavyweights-but five reserves led by Captain-elect Ed. Flannery will come to be the Red and Green heavy- weights of 1937 in quest of the first Big Seven championship. The boys who finish their high-school football career are: Captain I-lahn, Dillon, Jaross, Novak, Goering, Sorrentino, Trdin, Koss. A La Salle-Peru. . ..... 'I4 St. Bede. . . ..

Although it was the first year of Butch's regime as a lightweight basketball mentor, he developed a fine basketball team. Material was scarce, for only three lettermen from the previous year reported. The lightweight record was remarkable since they won 14 and lost only 4. ln the Big Seven Conference the lncas placed second with 8 won and 4 lost, however, they may well be termed the Huncrowned champions of the Big Seven, for they had soundly trounced Rockford, the champions, in two engagements. Overconfi- dence, however, played havoc with the lncas in the West Aurora game which they lost by a score of 31330 in an over- time. This heartbreaking defeat dumped them into second place where they remained. Displaying a remarkable spirit and determination to win, the team was led by the high-scoring ace, Bob Mouse Coulter,All-conference forward, who established two scoring records- one by scoring 26 points in the West Aurora game, the other, by having a total of 159 points in the entire season, which exceeded the old record by 60 points. Other players whose play was remarkable by their fine floor-work, passing, and shooting were, Bob l-lolsinger, Gaede, Zevnik, and Newton. All except Coulter and Heider will return for the next season. LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL La Salle-Peru ....... 24 Morris ............

VARSITY BASKETBALL X The Captain-elect Stanley Schott did not return to school, so LeRoy Mattson and Joe Koss were alternate captains until tournament time, when Coach Tyler appointed Koss captain through both tournaments. The team developed slowly. They lost many of their games in the Big Seven and Finished in Fifth place in the conference. However the team of this year was the First in the history of the school to go to the State Tournament at Champaign. Before being able to go to Cham- paign, L-P. had to win the Regional and Sectional tournaments. in the First game of the Sectional, L-P. met Hennepin and beat them 70-5. Next L-P. met Streator, it was a closely Fought battle but L-P. was always in the lead. L-P. won 99-522. ln the Final game of the tournament, L-P. played Ottawa, L-P. won Q9-523. This game qualified us for sectional play the following week-end. ln the first game we played a very outstanding Rutland team whose center, Fredrickson, was selected on the all-state team, L-P. won 43-QQ. Then we met Fairbury whom we defeated 31-30 in last ten seconds with a basket by Joe Koss. ln the Final game we again played Ottawa. Both teams were highly keyed and the situation was tense. L-P. was one point behind with Fifty-five seconds to go when Emi! Ulanowski sank a free throw. With ten seconds to go, Malone fouled the Ottawa center giving him two free throws, either of which would have won the game for Ottawa. However, Ottawa missed both shots and the game went into overtime. After two interchanges, Ray Sobkowiak scored the winning basket which sent this team to the state Finals-at last one of the Sweet-Sixteen. lt is impossible to name the outstanding player, for all the boys played good ball.

In the district tourney, the doubles team,J. Goering, and R. Miller were eliminated in the First round, while the S. Lorencki- W. Mueller combination was eleminated in the second round. The singles Finalists were Gordon Rothwell and Joe Koss, with Joe Koss being crowned the district champion. As a result Rothwell and Koss were sent to the State Tournament at Champaign. Rothwell, after a hard fought battle, lost to Cox of Carbondale in the First round. Koss, after defeating Tresham of Monmouth in the first round, lost to Dick Hainline the finalist, in the second round. In the Big Seven Tournament Goering and Miller were defeated in the First round by the Joliet doubles team, 6-4, 6-9. In the singles Rothwell was eliminated in the first round by Pritchard of W. Aurora, 6-1, 6-4, while Koss reached the semi-Finals where he was eliminated by Mahares of Joliet 'I-6, 6-1, 6-4. 78 Top Row- Fritz, Schreiner, Sienkiewicz, Rodbard, Edgcomb, Weldon, Mee, Jaross, Renis, Meisenbach, Strell, Scott.

TRACK REVIEW When the initial call for track candidates was issued by Coach Fellows, he was faced by two hurdles which had to be jumped, there was no outside track available, L-P. had lost by graduation such stars as Steve Wujek, Jimmie Galetti, Warner Preston, John Engel, and Ralph Edgcomb, all of whom were consistent high point men in 1936. To overcome the situation, the coach had about fifteen boys working out on the indoor track during February and March with some very gratifying results, the approach of the outdoor season brought about an increase in the squad to almost forty-five athletes, most of whom were inexperienced. lt was evident that the team would be utterly lacking in sprinters but would be exceptionally strong in the field events, caused by the return of Renis and Doc Strell whose efforts would supplement those of Mee and Jaross. With the assistance of Mr. Vallett and Mr. Tyler during the early season, Coach Fellows succeeded in getting histeam whipped into excellent shape in time for taking part in the relays at Geneseo, Pon- tiac, Bradford, and Urbana in each of which L-P. finished among the leaders. Doc Strell jumped into State and National publicity by breaking the existing state record in the javelin when he threw it 199 ft. 10 in. at Urbana. Mee continued to win first place with the shot while Del Hahn and DeWitt Schreiner rapidly advanced to the front ranks among quarter-milers. Little Johnny Weldon, star in the 880, pushed Frank Wujek and Louis Smania in the mile to the point where they all ran that event under 4:50. McBurney surprised everyone by either winning or tying for first place in the high jump in most of the relay carnivals and in so doing threatened the local school record. Because of lack of sprinters Ulanowski was switched to the running events where he showed great promise. To develop the entire squad, L-P. took part in a quadrangular meet at Princeton where it finished second, a dual meet with Ottawa was won by the score of 78 to 44, The boys then stepped out to win the district meet at Ottawa in which they scored 46M points or almost as many points as scored by the second and third place winners together. As a result, eleven L-P. boys qualified for the state finals at the University of lllinois. The 1937 team so far has proved itself to be exceptionally strong in the field events and in the middle and long distance runs. Lack of sprinters and experienced hurdlers are seriously handicapping our chance for a Big Seven championship. Extra time is being given this year to the Freshman and Sophomore boys who won most of the special events put on in the meet at Ottawa, they will take part in a Freshman-Sophomore meet to be held later at Ottawa in which at least four other schools will compete. 79 Standing, left to rightelfay Sutter, June Sutter, Lorraine Hanley, Helen Calderon, Arlene George, Mae Kinkie, Christene Furar, Lorene Aubry, Lillian Samolitis, Betty Rothwell, Marjorie Burt, Lois Yates, Jane Marie Mills, Margaret O'Bid, Verna Cilla, Florence O'Bid, Genevieve Liss, Alberta Carrico.

G. A. A. Since 1933 the girls of La Salle-Peru have been enjoying the pleasant comradeship with the Girls' Athletic Association of Illinois. The G. A. A. is one of the most outstanding associations throughout Illinois, whose popularity hasincreased so rapidly that it is becoming a national youth movement for girls. Health, Sportsmanship, and Leadership are the foundations upon which the G. A. A. is built. These in the members' opinions are the ideals of the American girl. Although basketball and volleyball are the favorite sports at L-P., the girls agree that nothing can take the place of a bicycle tour through the scenic countryside of this vicinity. Rewards are presented at the banquet which is the last event of the year. To receive awards, the members must keep health rules, belong to an organized team as well as earn points in daily ex- ercise and sports. The highest award is the blue chenille map of Illinois. THE G. A. A. OFFICERS Every club has its officers and the G. A. A. is no exception. The leaders of this organization must meet the require- ments of an outstanding Student coupled with that of athletic ability or interest. It has been evident that this club is gaining in popularity with thepassing of each year. At present it is the largest girl organization in the high school. Undoubtedly a great deal of this popularity was gained through the work of its leaders. This year Paula Jean Davison, President, has been most active and successful in her work.

Since the gym is of sufficient size to accomodate all the girls' gym classes, the boys are able to use the old gymnasium in the Social Center exclusively. ln addition, those Juniors and Sen- iors who heretofore have been unable to take a course in physical education in their third and fourth years are enabled now to do so. All the girls' classes are easily taken care of in the six periods 'of the day. Although during this semester no swimming has been taught the girls, it is hoped that a plan for it will be formulated by next tall. The gymnasium proper, although not so large as the old gym meets all the requirements of the girls' activities. The ceiling of this excellent gym is made of Celotex, a material that effectively absorbs all sound, and in so doing prevents neighboring classes from being disturbed. The smooth finished floor is excellent as a volley ball or basketball court. On the east side a built-in drinking fountain has been built. Below the gym is a modern locker and shower room. The locker room contains 700 steel lockers of the latest design each equipped with a combination padlock. They are arranged in groups of eight, one large locker and eight small ones. While attending their gym class, the girls store their street clothes in one of the street lockers. The smaller lockers are used for the permanent storage of gym equipment. The shower room is of glazed buff tile construction, the tile extending upward in an arched ceiling. Set onto three walls are twenty-four shower bath fixtures in a highly polished chrome finish. Near each shower, set into the tiled wall are individual soap receptacles. Also on this, the lower floor, are found a smaller room used for restrictive class work under the direction of the instructor, and the office of the instructor. - 81 PRESS CLUB Third Row, reading- left to right-William Ball, Eugene Keutzer, Don Fleming, AI Castelli, Sam Virzi, Delbert l-lahn, Frank Moyle.

J ane Camenisch Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, a four-act play, is neither specifically comedy nor tragedy but rather combines laughter with tears and comedy with pathos, showing the transforming power of a winsome maid whose trace of Latin blood would not permit the cold severity of an old maiden aunt to conquer her youth. The charming coquetry of Rebecca contrasted with the serious intentness of Adam Ladd, the young doctor, supplies the perfect setting for romantic young love. Although the story is centered in an insignificant Maine village of over thirty years ago, the setting is neither severe nor sedate. Contrarily, scenes of home life in a kitchen or in a garden are shown. All the beauty of the harvest season is given in one act. - From the gay Make-believe tableaux ofthe young girls to the drollabandon of Abijah Flagg, the action throughout the play was instantaneous in its appeal. Aunt Miranda's impatient shakes of wet clothes, Abner Simpson's idolent shiftless movements, Rebecca's sparkling animosity, Jeremiah Cobb's good-natured drawl, or Minnie Smellie's disagreeable nasal twang lent brilliance of character portrayal in every scene. 91 RED AND GREEN Come all students of L-P. l-ligh, We will shout our cheers to the sl4y.

We often re- call the ancient men as heroes of great deeds. For a wor- thy cause men were created, but they have served that cause. Just as the horse-and-buggy got rusty and was outdated by modern cars, so are men termed oId-fash- none . Men have worked to satisfy the wants of the gentler sex, they have supported and protected them. Their chivalrous deeds will Ion be remembered. But today a modern woman is equalsfy equipped with brains and strength. She is able to support and protect herself and solve her own problems. As a substitute for shiftless, finicky men, why not install a robot in the modern apartment-a robot who can do housework? Surely this would call for less money and work for the housewife. She needs to prepare no hot meal each day at noon, for the robot eats nothing. At night she enjoys her own comfortable bed, instead of being shoved over to the edge without covers. When the robot enters the house, she need not run to greet him or search for his pipe and slippers. He is always neat in appearance, and to his mistress delight she never washes or irons shirts. The only care for him is a little oiling or dusting each week. At all times he is quite harmless and when anything goes wrong, he doesn't jump on her with a growl. Best of all these housewife-helpers Cso I am toldb can be bought on an installment plan. AI Castelli ........ William Clydesdale. Rosemary Dee ..... Don Fleming ..... . Joe Frank ......

K K I I THAT'S WHAT IT WAS CBy Frank Moyle, '37D A beautiful looking, well dressed woman-that's what she was. Many are the memories I have that would have been time wasted minutes without her company. And now to think she is gone, never to return. My heart aches with sadness. I know she longs for me. Her quick response to my tender touch was all that anyone could ask for. Gone, but it was all for the best I guess. You can't keep the same car forever. CURRENT MOVIES The Crime Nobody Saw.. .....

ART LOUNGE BEAUTY IN THE RAIN CBy Carl Joop, '38J Through the dreary dismal rain, Gorgeous gals in cellophane, Red and green and deep sky blue, Flutter down the avenue, Like gay butterflies in May, Stealing all the gloom away. 8 K X I FAD-O-MANIA CBy Barbara Hummer, '39D Danger! Citizens of this town are hereby warned of a public menace which has been, and will continue to sweep the country if we do not do our duty and exterminate it. The dread disease of Fad-o-mania may be lurking perilously near you, or you may already be unknowingly in its clutches. There are many forms. First, the Knock-Knock Killer. lt may be recognized by an uneasy feeling in the mind and a determination to make words out of words. Then, slowly the brain falls apart and another citizen is lost to the world. Children, es- pecially little girls, have been known to be attacked by Temple Torture. They see, hear, and think nothing but Temple pictures, Temple permanents, Temple dresses, Temple ames. As Temple knowledge increases, know- ledge ol? everything else decreases until insane asylums are full to the doors. One of the worst known types of Fad-o-mania is Bat-it-Banisher. A wild desire seizes the patient to hit a small rubber ball on a rubber band with a pin -pong raquet, and, as he counts the number of times flue connects, a grave is being dug for him. Few of those attacked by thisfervor have been known to recover. Sometimes seemingly intelligent persons sit for hours trying to fit together many little pieces to make a picture. The mental contortions of these jig-saw addicts come to follow as twisting tortuous lines as the edges of the pieces they stare at. The most noticeable symptoms of usic Muddling is the sensation of one tune such as Music Goes Round and Round twirling in the mind. There is no getting rid of it except in the oblivion of death. Worst of al, many have actually gone primitive and taken to making signs with their hands Cand with sillygrins on theirfacesj calling it handies. For instance, running one finger through four others they say in a high cracking voice Snake in the grass. Are you con- vinced, my friends, that l am right in entreating you to give your help for the sake of stamping out Fad-o-mania? APRIL Thurs. 'I-April Fool's Day, but even today we think they carried that false fire alarm too far. Couldnt they ring it three minutes instead of thirty? Fri. 2-Ell Ess Pe Dance.

S horthand THE HATS GALS WEAR CBy Eugene Keutzer, '37D What fools these mortals bel Puck's words are more true today than ever before. We mean ofcourse, the present abominable trend in feminine head-dress. What is more disconcerting than to see a platter, made of felt, perched precariously upon the lovely pate of a beauteous damsel, come sailing down the avenue, its knife-like edges endangering the eyesight ofall ped- estrians within striking distance? Or what is more exasperating than to sit enthralled by a deeply sentimental moving picture and suddenly to have one of these impossible millinery creations ob- struct the view of a long-waited-for clinch '? Modern hats are extremely detrimental to the en- couragement of young romance. Visualize, if you can, something more touchingly romantic than to lean close to the shell-like ear of your ,Hone-and-only with sweet words and tender phrases upon your eager lips and to have your amorous progress suddenly and readily arres- ted by the protruding, unyeildin surface of-a hat! However, among our concliemnations we must in- clude one advantage. Eager swains, take note. The modern pancake-model hats prove to be excellent shelters in case of rain, and we advise 'you suffering members of the stronger sex, when caught in the rain, to take refuge under such a hat, as an adequate protection from the elements. Men, who are sleeping, awake! Awaken to this new evil which is sweeping our beloved country! Strike quickly, else we shall all be in the proverbial dog- house. As the platform for the united movement of the Against these Crazy Styles arty, we offer this one statement: Down with the Eats gals wear! 11 K lb I INFERNO CBy Natalie Leland, '37D Berries, hard brown berries, sought what little shade was offered by crisp, brown leaves. Spreadingfrom the grapevines down into the ravine, the berry bushes arched their backs and twisted every-which-way across the tiny paths that wound throughout the patch. A tiny tree stood in the middle of the bushes. Each plant leaned toward it as if grateful for even a little shade. The reflection of the sun upon the patch seemed a hun- dred-fold hotter than any sun could possibly be. Not even a faint breeze caused a ripple over the green and brown expanse. The grapevines lifted their tendrils in the air as if to laugh at the berries, for were the grapevines not protected by the large apple trees in the orchard! A straw hat dislodged itself from a clump of grass under an apple tree, and arose. The owner of the hat wiped the sweat from his forehead and with a deep, profuund sigh stooped over to pick up a tin bucket. With short, lagging steps he passed from the shade into the inferno. The moment the sun hit the bucket, it seemed to become a ball of Flame with long flame-like fingers reaching out to catch the bushes. Long sharp thorns did their best to combat this new unforseen enemy. Brown hands quickly, at first, plucked the berries, dropp- ing them into the ail where they landed with a thud- thump. Thorns, ancija fine, sticky dust with tiny prickles in it found the owner of the invulnerable pail a more easy, thought unwilling, victim. Pieces of dried leaves that have nearly invisable thorns on them managed to find their way down his neck. A large fist sought to re- move these most unwelcome objects leaving a long, purple streak along the neck. The owner with a shake of his straw hat gazed hopefully at the sky. lf it would only rain. The sky presented a formidable appearance. A large golden ball so bright that no eye could gaze at it was midway in the heavens. Stretching from every dir- ection was a wide expanse of clear blue. Across the ribbon of gravel road that caught each gleam of the sun was a green pasture that seemed to run to meet the sky. Daisies and cornflowers drooped their heads adding a hard bright white, yellow, and blue to the scene. Nature seemed ready for a change that didn't come. A small green painted looking worm crawled up the man's hand. Quickly he flung it from him, and turning he looked at the berries. They had to be picked, for by tomorrow they would no longer be berries, but just a handful of dried seeds. ' or 11 D I WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF SNOW . CBy Barbara Hummer, '39j Artist The snow a mass of white before me lies, For color l must seek amidst the skies. Eskimo ' The snow? Why, it's just all l know. Poet This old world has quite forgotten why Those particles of white dance from the sky. Rabbit Fleet of foot am l, But alas, A mass Of tracks behind me lie! Little Girl Oh God, thanks for the snow! l really do enjoy it so, l romp and play the whole long day. My pup and l-we're awfully gay. Small Boy However we treat him, he does nothing wrong, Our funny old snowman, so big and strong. We pelt him with snowballs, and oh, such fun! To know we can't hurt him, to know he can't run. ot 6 D D DUET CBy Barbara Burke '37D l l-'le didn't care for life or love, Existing was a dull routine, He thanked his stars and all above That his boredom was serene. He didn't understand his change His life was now a troubled dream, Cares and fears of endless range- But then her eyes were clear and green. She built her life of careful plans Her plain existence was so good, She walked sweet routine's pleasant path, Wrapped in duty's patient hood. She saw a light which burned anew With something she had never known, She staggered and her wonder grew- For her life held him-alone. ' cc at as as E REFLECTIONS l like the snow in pure array Of winter finery, I like the ice that sparkles Amid the sunlight's glee.' l like the fire's cheerful glow Upon a winter's ni ht, And happy faces smilaing, Reflecting ruddy light.

I souARiNG Wm-i in-is KIND BROTHER' CBy Alice I-luling, '37D I-IelIo, said Joan as she answered the phone. I-Iello, is this Joan? asked a masculine voice. Yes. Is it you, Bob? , Yes. Say Joan l'm awfully sorry, but l'm afraid we cant go to the show tonight. Mother has company and wants me to be a fourth hand at bridge. Maybe we can go tomorrow night. Would that be all right? Why, yes, I guess so, answered Joan. J 'IAII right. l'Il call for you at seven-thirty. Goodbye, oan. Goodbye, she answered. What more could she say? She couldn't see that it would improve matters to let Bob see that she was angry. This was the third success- ive night that he had called at the last minute to postpone a date. What did he think she was? Joan slammed the door of her bedroom and sank down on her bed. What was wrong? It wasn't like Bob to act like this. Every- thing had been going so well, and now look. As for the date tomorrow, she su posed that would be postponed too. She wondeied wlfen the day would come when it would be postponed indefinitely. What had she done? That excuse about his mother's guests was so childish. As though his mother would do a thing like that! She wondered who the guests were. Oh what was the use? And Joan's bright gold head fell to the pillow and her body shook with sobs. lt was a lovely head that lay on the pillow. The blue eyes glistened even through tears. The phone rang again. Let Jimmie get it down- stairs. He didn't have anything else to do, and he liked to use the phone. His voice was changing and he enjoyed hearing himself talk. So Joan remained in her room. I-ler sobs died away and she slowly regained her clear head. Well, if Bob was undependable why not get used to being without? If she wanted to see a show, why not see it? It was a good one tonight, one she had wanted especially to see. I-ler decision made, Joan rinsed off her tears, applied more tint to her smooth cheeks and soft rounded mouth, slipped into her prettiest dress, brushed her lovely hair, put on her smartest hat, and descended the stairs, the essence of joyous youth. But she did hurt inside. Tell mother I'm going to the movies, Jimmie, she said. Who with? asked the kid brother in a surprised tone. Myself Why not? said Joan with a brave attempt at flippancy. Where's Bob? continued Jimmie, with a teasing voice. Goodbye, said Joan with more firmness than she expected. . Things were just a wee bit blurred until after she was settled in her seat. She recovered with a start when she saw who was sitting next to her. Why Joan, said Bob in a surprised tone. Bob! gasped Joan. I thought Jimmie said you were out of town, he said, his anger rising. And you said you had to stay home because of guests, retorted Joan with equal spirit. I said that? Why, there must be some mistake. We can't talk here, Lets go out. As the picture was now of minor importance to Joan, she was soon seated beside Bob in his roadster. Did you have a good time at Dorothy's last night? asked Bob, still angry because she had deceived him. At Dorothy's? Who said I was at Dorothy's? asked amazed Joan. Why, Jimmie, when I called last night, he said you'd left. And tonight he told you that I was out of town? Just a minute,-I think I begin to see dawn. But didn't you tell me tonight that you had to stay in because of guests? Why no, Joan. Where did you get that idea. You didn't tell me that tonight? And youdicln't say that you had some work last night? Why no, Joan! .1 Well, who did call me? I-lm-Do you think it was Jimmie? Your voice did seem a tiny bit different, now that I stop to think. But how could Jimmie call you, away from home, and then be here to answer when I called you? Well, let's see-I have itl I-le called our number at about the time you usually call. I-le called our own number from down stairs. When central rang, he let me answer upstairs. Then he picked up the receiver and talked to me. When you called later, he answered and made some excuse for me! Why, the little brat! was all the astonished Bob could bring forth. Next time he tries that, announced Joan, I'll cure him. I-low? asked Bob smilingly. She told him. The next night the telephone rang. Joan came out of her bedroom and answered the phone with an affected voice. I-lello, Joan? asked a somewhat surprised voice. No. This a message from the telephone com any. The next time you call your own number you will re- cleive a bill for five dollars, the following day! Then a s am. Poor little Jimmie's freckeled face slid into a most frightened and astounded expression. Even next morn- ing at breakfast he was too stunned to tease Joan about Bob.

From fishing derive one of my chief pleasures. Not only do I go fishing to catch the inhabitants of the waters, but also to be out of the city, away from noise. While sitting by the waters, I am freed from all cares which harass my mind. Also at this time my soul is up- lifted in exultation created by the Peace about me. The paraphernalia for my deightful jaunt to the stream is as follows: a bamboo fishing pole to which is attached a long fishing line, a stringer upon which the fish are to make their journey home, and my entice- ment to the fish, the bait. Because of my pecuniary status now, the much-longed-for pole is still in the bright dis- play window. Despite this difficulty, I manage to get along fairly well. Along the path I go, and at last I reach thedesired spot. I bait the hook and throw it in the tranquil waters. Immediately the bait is taken by the fish. I pull-in the line and there upon the hook I see a large bullhead. I take it off the hook and put it on the stringer. Nine other bullheads join the one on the stringer, captured by my prowess! As I think these are sufficient for my needs, I tramp back home, richer in fish but the loser of a good line which caught on a snag. At home comes the worst part of fishing. The fish must be cleaned. I begin the task and soon have it done. While the fish are frying, I sit back and rest. And then comes the best part of fishing, eating the fish. For so good a meal, the labor involved in snaring the fish is trivial. 9 L,-' X V56 , gr Gm: 'if .L 51 'Y 5' 51 :Wg IE-N ,R .WF A ' ' s 1 1- , '-iw? v 'cuff Qi 'S Q, J K fqw e ef' , will ., , NL , 1 -v gp, 1, lg 1 C5 'f Y x T gg 5.. - LU Q -A5 my ,Q . f 535 fl 5 r sf rg 0 1 ' , . 5'-1 - f' 1.-F K A 4 ' .,,, +HaX..f, Ls-fi fuk.. ,- vliwwk 'A Q bps, g Q, 'Mn K Visa -.
