The game with the undefeated conference champions, Joliet, was hotly contested with Joliet winning out, 33 to 30. Ray Gapinski led the lightweight attack and his shift to heavyweight duties was keenly felt in further contests of the Tncas. Mvith Gapinski in the lineup it is felt that the lncas would have completed a far more successful season-bear witness to his fine performance with the Cavaliers. The team followed through with two victories over the Auroras before going down in defeat before the strong lflgin five. Successive defeats by Rockford and Joliet preced- ed an Incas victory over the Hall seconds. The Tncas went down before East Aurora and then rode over the Wiest Aurora quintet by a 35-to-11 score. The strong Elgin team was upset by the fighting Tn- cas, 311 to 2-1, in a hard fought battle. Captain Adrian stood out in this battle with his fine guarding and high scoring. Outstanding work throughout the season was also performed by Chuck Mercer, and Robert May. Four non-conference victories balanced up the led- ger to give the Incas a total of eight victories and a like number of defeats. The members of the 1933-1939 lightweight basket- ball squad to receive letters in reward for their efforts were: Ray Adrian, Joe Di Carlo, John Grivich, Ralph fTop of next column.j THE PUBLIC ADDRESS . . . . . system of l.a Salle P e ru was inaugurated this year.

The Board is particularly grateful to the class advisers Earl Trobaugh, freshman, Miss Martha Deans, sophomoreg Miss Bernice Zimmerman, junior: and Miss Clara Kelley, senior, not only for their co- operation but also for the time which they gave to helping us. b For advice in our art problems we thank Miss Zada Dickson and Miss Frances Kapuscinski.

The Quill and Scroll is an honorary society reward- ing the efforts of those who rank high in journalistic achievements. They must have a high scholastic rating, too. Girls who were initiated donned formals for this occasion to which parents, faculty, and former Quill and Scroll members were invited. Janice Currie, togeth- er with Bernard Doyle, conducted an impressive candle-lighting ceremony. The editor of the L-P-D lfcho, Alfred Castelli, served as toastinaster. All present enjoyed a talk given by L. B. Richards, advertising manager of VVestclox, on National Advertising Copy. Lois Floyd, tap dancer, entertained the group, accompanied by Marjorie Rose. Miss Clara Kelley, senior class adviser, presented the pins to the initiates. KContinued from page 4,1 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR shoes provoke Allan Ruppert. and Mary Jane Hughes detests things that crawl. Roy May dislikes a braggert, and, believe it or not, nothing in the world bothers Ralph Maciejewski. Larry Schaeffer likes to sleep in class, and doesn't enjoy the company of those who awaken him. Bob Goering thinks Bill Mercer's Are you going to the football game? annoying, and uncalled for too, because, of course, he'll go. Edwin Garner doesn't like be- ing bawled out when he doesn't deserve it, and Shirley Brown's pet fret is B. unreadiness, though she must admit there's an improvement lately. Gordon Sauer dislikes the method of gong ringing, and may he try it, just once please? Girls who powder and primp in public irk Bill Ebener, and Frank Ingeg- noli gets tired of stale jokes, Richard Correll thinks it tire- some to watch people chew wrinkles out of gum, and Bmil Soneski hates to hear Get to work, Emil. If you think that Betty ,lean Block likes to be called Porky, you're all wrong. .Xl- though .arthur Klennem and Louis Plagens are the best of friends, Art thinks he could do without Louis' crooning voice. We hope that in time everyone in our graduating class may overcome his favorite aversions. My pet fret is that the Fll Ess Pe isn't large enough, be- cause I think it's swell. From all reports, the 1939 Ell Ess Pe is better than ever, and there cer- tainly ought to be more of such a good thing. Yours truly. A. Gra Duate
