Another purpose of this book is to honor somewhat the Senior Class and may it prosper in years to come. When you are old and gray may this annual help you in recalling to yourself, your friends and children the happiest days of your life-—those at high school.

Sailing onward through tranquil seas. Impelled by a soul's demand. Reaching the end of the journey, Near the shores of a distant land. Back o’er the motionless waters. With breezes that gently blow. The ship returns to the harbor. Laden with a priceless cargo. Some ships fail in their mission And sink with all of their crew— Those hopes that are only illusions. Those dreams that never come true! —Virginia Everett. 301 of _ )oo ' oot ,, 0 'fha '133U £ipids3T Wab w � — n- n Our Reading Table It one should have occas.on to he in the region of the study-hall doors between classes, and should hear cries of Oh, come on, what cha think you're doin’!” or Say how d'ya get that way, I had that first!” he should not become excited and run to borrow some money, for although the study-hall stage may resemble a good-s;r.ed rummage sale, when there are only three more shopping days until Christmas, he may rest assured that it is only a group of boys trying to get a magazine to read during the next period The p x r magazines find t impossible to turn their backs for one moment without some one throwing them across the table or picking them up by the skin of their necks to look them over. As I have charge of this reading table one period I know that such magazines as “American, and Collie Ears cannot retain their backs for more than one day. However, such magazines as “Outlook and “Time” need never worry about losing their backs unless they mold away. I think the ‘Outlook” was named correctly as there must be a bright future in store for it, since none of its popularity has yet been released. At least there has been no demand for it at High School. This tabic also serves as a splendid target for amateur marksmen of the study -hall. Magazines are never returned before the end of. a period, and then there is one grand rush to see who can hit the table on the stage from the auditorium (at least it so appears to me). By the tme about ten students have gone through this procedure the table resembles Mount Vesuvius after an eruption. On the other hand, the s'udents are not all to blame, for I think if we had a suitable library, the pupils would tal e pride in preserving it, and would not be so careless as they are at the present time. —Patricia Holden.

She is common, and every girl shares her virtues. Since she is a citizen of the most advanced nation in the world, her responsibilities are great, for she sets the pace of her foreign sisters. Mary' White, the girl in her father's noted essay, was an “Ideal Girl”, and she lived up to the motto, “full of fun and friendly to everyone.” The American girl is broad-minded, peppy, and determined: this determination is a new trait, but along with the world's transformation comes the change in women who arc stepping forth to help push civilization. Beauty is not a requirement. Any ordinary looking girl may appear beautiful because of her personality, which she can easily cultivate. Then because of athlet es adopted by girls of the United States, health and grace has been acquired. In the past few years the American girl has been setting a standard never before equalled, but since the days of the frontiersman, she has been preparing herself for the many things that are required of her at this time. —Dorothy Hoi.mf.s. Mother Piecing Quilts In her cushioned rocking-chair, Sunlight shining in her hair. Mother sits—sewing bits Of bright gingham, square to square. Humming some forgotten song As her needle moves along. Her hands go—very slow— Always right and never wrong. Mother knows how quilts are made. How each puzzling block is laid, Diamond, square—fitted there— L ttle bits that never fade. Queerest blocks: R’sing Sun, Nine Patch, Star—and chains that run Straight and true as chains do. Mother makes them one by one. And that something in her face. Some fine ageless, fadeless grace. Like a great white lifted light In a quiet holy place. In her bright colored rtx'king-chair. Sunlight shining in her ha;r. As she sits—sewing b'ts. Mother makes a picture there. —Margarette Simpson. The Ideal American Boy What type of person would the “Ideal American Boy be? Some people may not, and others will not, agree with me in my choice. That boy should have a good physique, built up by means of work and healthful exercise. He must be able to withstand the hard knocks and punishment one receives on the footba'l field or in the gymnas urn. These serve as a preparation for the difficulties to be encountered in life. H s m:nd must be one capable of acting quickly and correctly under all conditions. Here again athletics prepare him to meet the emergencies of life. It takes a keen mind as well as a fit body to play the game. Then there is the spirit by which he must be gu.ded. There is the spirit that is foremost in organized sports. Without it a boy lacks the initiative that will later carry him far in the business world. It will help him make friends and hold the re spect of his associates. I do not mean, by what I have wr tten, to picture the “American Boy as one who does nothing but swim, play football, basketball, baseball, tennis, or participate in the many other forms of sport. His bearing and manners must lie those of a gentleman. He must respect the privileges and opinions of other people, and at the same time defend his own rights. He must be serious minded enough to give intelligent thought to h s religion, love of country and other of the higher things of life. I have tried to po'nt out the characteristics that are far-reaching. If a boy has these, I am sure that h;s habits and his idea's will be worthy ones. It ’s always more difficult to describe something one has never seen, and the word ideal” indicates something that is so perfect as to be unattainable. For this reason, I have found this a difficult subject to portray. —Jim Foster. Finesse! A brave and handsome man the ace. Who thought quite high to fly: He '(Hiked upon the queen’s fair face, A sly knave heard him sigh. “Quite near the queen, yet far apart. For there’s the king between. But behold! if he should steal some heart— Then I could take the queen! Not dreaming his design was seen. Boldly the ace cut loose. The king—by knave warned—kept the queen. And gave the ace the deuce! —Maxine Stump. 15 n« � ii � nn � Til© 2LS 3 D LpI'llSa 'Wfib n‘ •� ---- The Laboratories One of the greatest influences in the High School career, is the Science Laboratory. Everyone has o undergo its jo,s its hardships, and its odors. Any one of the four: Chemis ry, Physics, Biology, and Home Economics has these. The thrill that comes once in a life time, that of making something fit to eat or something good enough to wear, is often experienced in Home Economics. Binders are another � ature which we enjoyed as much in this subject as in any other. Many a life occupa‘:o:i has been decided after a year of Home Economics. In Biology and Physics Laboratory there are quite different forms of experi-mentat on. How much joy the future Biologist gets from corn tests! How much pleasure the less scientifically inclined persons receive in throwing beans and corn a’ lvs fe’’('vv so carers when no one is looking! In the physics part, the fun of playing with cars on inclined planes, remembering equations constructing the paths of light rays problems, and watching the instructor blow no a t v balloon, will long be remembered. And C emistry! How often our noses ache at the very thoughts of it! Upon searching for pictures of famous chemists, it will he found that all of them have pronvneo- or oddly-shaped noses. Small wonder! How the Chemistry students an predated the process of making hydrogen sulphide, can be imagined by those who ree' v '1 benefit of the final product onlv. The daily burns resulting from over heated ap-a-ntus hot reactions, and acids will be remembered, too. AM students can appreciate at least one of these descriptions before they grad nate. They can remember the cupboards full of dishes and pans in Home Economics, the cab nets full of Physics apparatus, the pails full of fish and frogs and jars full of grasshoppers in B'ology, or the bottles full of sweet (?) smelling solutions on the shelves in Chemistry. —Jane Purpum. The Road Home It's just a common country road. Leading, wh ' cares where? An old rail-fence is by its side. Fallen here and there. A purple thistle stands as guard Lest strangers venture nigh. A bursting milkweed sends out ships That lazily drift by. A meadowlark calls plaintively, H dden by tall green grass: A saucy sparrow cocks his head To watch me as I pass. Whv is it that I praise the road That looks just like the rest? Because it ;s the road to “Home That's why I love it best. —Eva McAllister.

They rank high in scholarship. But whether weak or strong—little or big, keen witted or slow 11 some things- all rank alike in one very important thing, namely school loyalty. A loyal student reflects credit on his school. He enters athletics if he can, if not. he at least supports the school teams by attendance at games, by being enthusiastic about a team whether it is losing or winning, whether it has good luck or bad luck. He yells' for it, he encourages the players of the team, and he makes members of the .earns feel that they have his support on all occasions. A team cannot always win but. if t: members play their best on all occasions against all odds, they arc worthy of the loyal support of every student. If a student is loyal he is proud of his school and he will do his best to increase the good name of it. By hard work on his lessons he tries to raise the standards. He wants to be a credit to his school after g a.'.uatton No student with real school loyalty is content merely to “get by . He docs his best—-he gives all he can to his school. There is a time to work and a time to p’ay and any student who observes these times is a help to his school and is demonstrat ng true school loyalty. Such a student not only helps his school but receives great b'icf't for h'mself. In as great a measure as he gives of his loyalty, he receives benefits.

K ■—■JJOQL —Hiot — 0 1930 Spider Wish m- --------------------- ■ —m 7 he Red Bird It was a beautiful morning in Burnsville, a little country town made up of r.ch estates near New York. The birds were singing and the blue sky was dotted with little white clouds. Joan Cummings was out in her back yard playing tennis with Bill Keets, a neighbor boy. Bill and Joan had practically grown up together. They had lived side by side s.nce Joan was three and Bill was four. Many people had taken them as brother and sister, wh ch was probably due to the fact that both had curly, black hair that framed big, black eyes set in an olive complexion. 1 his particular morning Joan was not up to her standard and Bill was getting the best of her. When the last set was finished and Bill had jumped over the hedge into his yard and was teasing Joan about her low score, out of a clear sky a great red plane dove so low that both Joan and Bill unconsciously ducked. Then it soared away and an arm shot out and waved at them. They stood looking at the plane until it was lost from sight. “Gosh!” exclaimed Bill, “I bet he gets a big kick out of that. I wish Dad would buy me one.” “Gee, I wonder if he's good looking,” sighed Joan. Well, I'll have to be going if I'm to be ready at seven.” Where you goin’?” asked Bill. “Oh, to an old lecture on 'Elements,' Joe asked me to go and I couldn't refuse h m this time because I think he has found out about the time I refused to go to a Bug Lecture with him and then went on that terrible egg hunt with you. He has acted sorta funny since then so I'll have to be quite nice to him. Well, goo'by. Bill. Don't forget our match tomorrow.” So long. Joan, 1 11 be there with bells on—and by the way, I hope you have a good t me at that lecture and learn a lot about hot air. Ha, ha. So long. Joan hurried into the house and had just stepped out of the shower when the doorbell rang and she heard Joe's voice saying hello to her mother. After much hurrying Joan appeared at the door looking like an angel. Hello, Joey. I'm ready.” “Good evening, Joan. My dear you look simply stunning,” remarked Joe, in his aristocratic way. This was by no means an exaggeration because Joan wore a flimsy green chiffon dress that suited her exactly. Little unru y curls had slippe J out from beneath the broad brimmed hat that matched her dress, and her tiny feet were made to seem even smaller by the high heeled green satin pumps. To himslf Joe decided she looked like a fairy, but it wou'd never do to tc:1 a lady that.

His mother would not allow him to have a rough hoy’s car. No indeed, Joey should have one made for a gentleman. Joan was thinking the lecture quite boring when a speaker announced that they had a special speaker who had something to say about air. “Oh dear,” thought Joan, “Another dumb—why!—Oh, isn't he marvelous7 For the speaker now was a light curly headed youth, with great sparkling blue eyes Joan did not listen very attentively to his speech, but she thought that curl tlu' kept slipping down into his eye was perfectly adorable. Joey, I would just love to learn more about air, please introduce me. Please, Joey.” AH right, but I could tell you all you want to know.” But, Joey, he is such a distinguished person and speaker. Please.” Joan had her way. Bill, Bill, oh Bill. Listen, I met the best looking speaker last night and he’s an aviator. He was telling about air pockets and 1 made Joey introduce us, and Joey asked him, for me, of course, to come to lunch here this afternoon. Gee, I'm so thrilled. I’ll have to go now and see that everything is all right. Goo’by, and I won’t be able to play this afternoon. ’By.” Goodby, Joan.” Well that 'et’s me out, thought Bill. When Bill was eating his lunch he heard the drone of a plane very close. He rustled out and saw the saint red p'anc that had come so close yesterday, landing in the vacant lot next to the Cummings’ estate. He saw Joan rush out to meet the tall blond boy climbing out of the cockpit. They all went in the house and Bill noticed how tall and awkward the boy seemed. About two hours later Bill heard the plane soar away and then Joan's voice. Bill, Bill. Come on let’s play tennis,” she cried. All right, say what made your boy friend leave so soon? “Oh, he sure is bashful. lJad said something about us playing tenn's and h. immediately said that he had to go back and look over his plane, that he was taking a little trip tomorrow. And did he blush. Come on, I bet I can beat you.” The next morning Joan was all excited and ran over and showed the headline; of the paper to Bill. This s the way it read, Lindbergh Starts Trans-Atlantic Flight. Farther down it said that he was doing this in order to make friendship b-tween the countries. Well.” said Bill after reading it, “I don't see anything for you to get so excited over. But, Bill, that was the name of the aviator that was here, and here is his picture. Why. just think, I entertained a hero.” Good gosh,” exclaimed Bill. —Margaret Raikf.y.

So, also, was an unchaperoned journey for young people an almost unheard of thing When my mother was twelve years old some family friends moved from Monmouth to Galesburg and upon becoming settled sent repeated invitations to my grandmother to send the two girls, Magdaline and Catheryne, on a visit. So one Sunday morning armed with an umbrella and a “grip”, the two set out. They arrived at the depot two hours before train time as their motto was “two hours too soon was better than two minutes too late. The woman in the depot lunch room knew them and after quizzing them concerning their trip learned that they could not he restrained at home long enough to eat breakfast so she took pity on them and gave them some cookies and an apple to eat. I will skip over the excitement due to the arrival of the train and the uneventful railway journey of sixteen mile;, which was made safely, that evidently being an off morning for wrecks, and take up my story again after the girls had successfully found their way through the Galesburg depot to the street car tracks outside. Here they sat upon the curb to once more read the letter of instructions sent to them in case they made an unexpected v’sit and no one met them. And the most noticeable part of this visit was the unexpectedness of it to every one they met. “Take the car from the dejiot for Lombard College read the instructions--they got no further for an auto had drawn up to the curb and an auto in those days was as much a wonder as the German Zep was a few months ago to one and all of us. The two girls stared at the car while the occupants got out and after glancing at the two figures on the curbing, laughingly entered the depot. The man at the wheel finally straightened his face long enough to ask Where are you going, kids? Hop in and I’ll take you.” Catheryne was instantly ready but the older and world wise s’ster answered nonchalantly “Not me. I’m not going to get kidnaped. The gentleman laughed and informed them that the approaching car was the one for Lombard College. So picking up the grip and umbrella the girls, to whom street cars were unfamiliar objects, pro ceeded down the street to meet 't. and having met it in the midd'e of the block were thunder-struck when it whizzed by and went merrily on its way. Catheryne, being unincumbered with baggage, ran after the car down the middle of the street crying and shaking her little fist at it while Magdaline brought up the rear with the ever nresent grip and umbrella. The car came to a stop in front of the depot and as there were no other passengers the g-rls just managed to climb on and dispose of their baggage in the a«sle when the car started with a jerk and Magdaline went headlong in the aisle. The conductor, having received his full quota of amusement, was in a good humor so he not only dropped the two travelers at the right co er but also after reading their letter of instructions pointed out their destination. Much to their dismay upon arriving at the home of their friend, they found the o ----- 0o ---- 0ot � o T3a® 1S3© «5pijJl®ar 'Web m— —mm mm n dinars locked and no one there and a neighbor of whom they inquired was not sure whether or not their friends were out of town. So catching the same car back they returned to the depot expecting to take the first train back. Now in the center of the east wall of the main waiting rixim in the old Gales-burg depot stood a fire-place and above this hung a huge mirror. So after taking in their surroundings the sisters spying the mirror decided to tidy up a bit before making their return railway journey, so stationing themselves in front of the mirror, they opened up their grip, found their combs, unbraided their hair and were in the midst of their toilet, much to the amusement of the waiting room people, when their friend bore down upon them and spoiled the show. She had returned from church to be told of their arrival, by the neighbor, and taking the next car back to the depot captured the two before the police had an opportunity to lock them up with a view to questioning their sanity. Both my mother and aunt have traveled extensively since then but if you ask mother for the destination of her most interesting trip, she answers unhesitatingly “Galesburg.” But please don't ask in front of Aunt Kath for there are things she insists that it is as well to pass lightly over. —Caroline Rioroan. Winter The leaves turned golden, red, and brown; nutting parties robbed the walnut and hickory nut trees of their harvests, and the grains were gathered and stored away in bams and granaries. Even the squirrels realized that winter was coming and gathered in nuts for their winter store. The geese wedged their way south, and the blackbirds gathered in the trees in great noisy flocks at dusk. Many of the birds had already gone, and the last ones were preparing for flight. Every morning the hoary frost covered the ground and roofs, and the days grew shorter. Everyone was making ready for winter, and anticipating the fun of winter sports soon to come. One cold afternoon the sky took on a slaty gray color which thickened until the sun was completely hidden. It became dark much earlier than usual. Just as the darkness settled down, on the wings of a strong wind, the snow kept swirling down. All that night the snow kept up its race to earth with increasing velocity. Next morning all was calm and clear, but lo. it was as though a magic wand had been waved across the landscape by an unseen hand. It seemed we could hardly be on the same old planet, for all was white. Sleigh bells rang, and snow balls flew, and even though they often struck their mark, no ill-will was borne. There were coasting parties, sleigh rides, snow fights, and everybody was happy and revelled in the snow. Then came the holidavs clothed in mistle-toe and holly. Strange to say, 'mid all the fun and snow frolics we stxin grew restless and wished for a change. The days grew warmer slowly, and the ice and snow' disappeared, but we did not regret to see it go. Soon spring came again and we w're glad. —Laura Frances Ray. � c=dooc=ooc=3o The 193© 3ipider 'Wii oc= ------------------mm------inn, M A Lament of the Pencil Sharpener Oh dear! it just seems as if this day will never end! As a rule I don't complain, i fact. 1 rather enjoy my existence here between earth and sky in the window of the H gh School Study Hall, hut today has been something else again. I'm so very dizzy I winder if my poor head will ever be clear again, and my chest is so filled with shavings and lead dust that unless I'm relieved, something will surely happen. Yes, just as 1 expected, here comes another Freshman! 1 know everyone seems to onpress the poor Freshmen but, really, they seem to have very little consideration lor people, and least of all for me. Every Freshman English class must have a theme assignment today because I'm sure everyone of them has sharpened his pencil three or four times. Then, there were those two Sophomore boys who engaged in a battle for my possession. I really thought they would pull my arm off. They would have, too, but the teacher in charge of the Study Hall made them take their seats. Of course, some amus'ng things have happened. There was the Junior girl who tried to “kill two birds with one stone. She came to repoint her pencil, and at the same fme, she threw a note to the boy friend. Throwing like the proverbial girl, the note fell short of its destination and was picked up by an underclassman who proceeded to read it with quite evident enjoyment. The grls’ face was a “study in scarlet” and the boy wasn't so pale either for he knew from past experience something of the nature of the missive. A mischcvious Juivor boy furnished amusement for some of the pcon’e sitting near me. H? was thoughtful enough to notice the congested cond t on of my chest and very k;ndlv emot ed it—not in the scrap basket as he should but on top of a Senior's head. This senior is noted for his power of concentration and knew nothing of the deposit until he rose to go to class. Some of the people who don't seem to have much to do spend a great deal of time with me. I’ve lost count of the number who have spent minutes by my side, gazing out of the window or making faces at their frends. Somet'mes the teacher catches them; they are banished and quiet reigns for a few minutes. A ra'her terrible thing happened early this morning. An inou's t ve Freshman (of coursA dee ded to see what made my arm go around. Using his kn fe as a screw driver, he soon dissected me and discovering that the teacher was looking this wav. proceeded to not me together with more speed than caution. Consequently, I seem to rattle a little when in motion. One of the larger bovs has a habit of breaking the point of his pencil just before the noon recess. Invariably the bell rings as soon as he reaches my side and throwing the poor pencil at me, he rushes away—the first one out of the Study Hall. If I look as dreadful as I feel I must be a sight! My chest is bulging, my arm is loose, and my back is marred with several large wads of chewing gum. deposited bv enthusiastic admirers of Mr. Wrigley. In fact.

The staff has surely tried its best, And now it craves just peace and rest. Mr. Freeman- who bosses this gang. Will finish his work with a whoop and a bang; Patricia- who is our editor-in-chief. Will end up ths book with a sigh of relief; Our literary editor is named Pauline, That she’s worked hard can easily he seen; Mr. Quick says William is our school-joke. And tii s book full of fun, he’s sure to poke; Dorothy Holmes takes care of all our ads, Here’s where you gather the latest fads; Margaret Rainey—our editor of art, In every way has done her part: Max-lie Miller is our girl athlete. And at her job she can’t be beat; Wendell Barclay to our business tends, A harardous path is his to wend: Bob takes care of our sports just fine. On all our athletes he’s got a line: Bob Elting is our snapshot boss. And without h’s help we’d be at loss: The typists Mable, Evelvn, and Gen, Can easily do the work of ten: And all the assistants, c'ach one a jewel Have surely become the pride of the school. Now folks you've all heard about each one. Just stop and think has it been well done? —Patricia Homicn. 24 oczx) ic ■ -1 .

They are the largest graduating class in the history of the school. In their Freshman year the class was unusual in that the members were not scared as Freshmen usually are. They went into student activities and competed with the upper classmen and beat them sometimes. They have kept up th’s spirit of helpfulness and usefulness throughout their four years in High School. They made good in athletics, dramatics, music, scholastic stand ing and other things. Unlike most classes, they caused the teachers little trouble. One explanation of the lesson was always sufficient and in Study Hall, they have always kept perfect order. Of course, there has been more than one discussion over the question of whether a member of this class or his seatmate was responsible for some misdemeanor.

The Junior Class Play was a brilliant affair. In athletics they have several fine players. The school is depending on this class to help win in musical and speak ing events this year. If they show up as well as they think they are capable of doing, gold medals ought to be flashing everywhere.

They have, however, been able to keep up their end in school activities. In sports they have shown up fine, and they have also made creditable showings m dramatics, art, and music. They have been a typical Sophomore bunch and have succeeded pretty thoroughly in making life miserable for the Freshmen. The study hall teachers also know that they have come up to, if not surpassed, the Sophomore classes which have preceedcd them, in making them earn their pay. The Freshmen also realize that when it comes to the perfect tormenter the Sophomores have them.'' In other departments they have fared well too. They are probably the first Sophomore class on record who has been utterly unmoved by the supposedly super ior Seniors. They entertained the teachers on October twenty-fifth at a Hallowe’en masquerade party. (In sp’te of this their grades did not seem to improve.) Games were the planned course of events, but general cutting-up predominated the evening. For refreshments they were served apples, doughnuts, cider, frozen milky ways, and candy com. Since no one reported with a stomach ache the next day, we think that the class of '32 is a pretty hardy bunch and we now say, “Here's to them! n in nt in 3 c )0 't i ■ ‘W ■ 'r 0 Annabel Allison Ruthanne Barclay Catherine Bartley Lillie Barrett Evelyn Berry Ruby Birdsall Louise Brown Ruby Bowers Jeanette Cobb Ruth Conner Elaine Butcher Mary Campbell Dorothy Chatterton Rcinec Clayton Wilma Daniels Mary Doran Louise Dorethy Lucinda Eastin Velma Fluegal Helen Fouts Doris Frye Mildred Gentry Wilma Hauld DOOC 300C Tphomore Girls Helen Cordell Dorothy Culp Hazel Hagan Dolores Helms Dorothy Helms Maxine Henderson Alice Hills Evelyn Hillyer Hazel Huddleston Velma Jackson Lou se Jardine Betty Johnson Wilma Kelly Mary Kennedy Alice Knapp Goldie Lamer Sylvia Levin Loraine McCord Elizabeth McDaniel Helen McMillan Clarice Moore Pauline Mullan Dorothy Oldham Monita O'Neil Martha Purdum Josephine Rexroat Dora Rigg Helen Robeson Mary Russell Rowena Sappington Lillian Shenor Arminta Smith Alleyne Strader Doris Stump Ruby Summy Dorothy Suydam Marguerite Thompson Betty Walker Lois Walker plorene Walters Lorene Walters Helen Watson Mary Waymack Beatrice Wilmot Cecilia Woerly Mary Woerly 30000 83 3CZJ00C 30 oc Sophomore Boys George Allison Kenneth Barclay Gladwyn Barrett Bert hoi Bowman Edward Branchfield David Brown Scott Butcher Ralph Campbell Lawrence Chapman Russell Chesnutt Vincent C'ark Kenneth C'emons Eugene Cline Carle Crabb Louis Dansart Maurice Doran Raymond Doran Marshall Edwards Gale Ford Harry Griffith Lyman Hainlinc C fTord Hay James Horine Keith Landis Marshall Lindsey Edward McCord Koeing McCullough Wavne Mason Max Messmore Robert Murfin Van Nelson R'chard Nester l a Verne Nichols Thomas Pace Maurice Peterson Dwight Plate Leonard Porter Garland Rigg Garnett Rigg Kenneth Riordan Marion Runklc Ford Shryack Justin Smith Keith Tipton Loren Volker Donald Waller Clifford Wetzel Lawrence White Hcrschel Williams Lloyd Woolam Don Wright S Oo u� 0 X s Freshmen Officers Jane Green__________________________ Glenn Fouts_________________________ Russell Reed________________________ Harold Pearce_______________________ _____President Vice-President ______Secretary ____T rcasurer Freshmen The Freshmen are in their first stage of development into Macomb High graduates. They have a pretty good start. The upper classmen try to help them along. They try to do their part in athletics, dramatics and other activities. Many answered the call for fixitball and basketball and many others are trying to hold up the honor of the school in public speaking contests. Study Hall teachers probably have no doubt as to the ability of some members along this line. The class is planning to be the best ever in the history of the school although they will have to go far to do this. They will keep things humming if they keep up the way they have started, so here's to the class of '33.

His pass-ing was good and his defensive play would be an asset to any team. Very often he broke through to stop would-be ball carriers in their tracks. GAIL FORD Gail, like Meeks, played his first year as a member of the varsity. His sue made him a formidable foe and he took care of his tackle position in first class fashion. He is eligible for two more seasons. JAMES FOSTER This was Jim's first year at quarterback but he played the position like a veteran.

His ability io : nag passes was unequalled and helped to chalk up many victories for the team. Very few plays were ever executed around Bob’s end without being broken up in good shape. He always put the old fighting spirit into the team and his place will be hard to fill next year. Raymond McCracken Although only a freshman.

Mike, a hard fighter, was one of the squad's best defensive players. This is his last year. ROY PRICE Keener was surpassed by none throughout the season as a running halfback and as a punter. His frequent jaunts of twenty and thirty-yards brought him many points and was generally good for about forty-yards on each punt. MAURICE ROARK At the beginning of the season Mike had the misfortune to break hi: collarbone.

Points for obtaining membership may be secured by playing basketball, tennis, swimming, hockey, and numerous other sports. This year a number of girls received their numerals, having 1 0 points, and are working for their letter, which requires 300 points. They are: Clarice Butterfield, Gertrude Couch, Loreta Gift, Margaret Stocker, Dorothy Holmes, Beaulah Spicer. The club gave a dance to the girls during the month of November and they all enjoyed it very much. During the same month the annual initiation banquet was given and many new members were taken into the organization. We have been under the splendid management of Dorothy Cox and we all feel indebted to her for the many good times we have had during the year.
