Manlius High School - Mirror Devil Yearbook (Manlius, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 74 of the 1939 volume:

r THE MIRROR of 1939 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS MANLIUS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Volume 4 Number 1 DEDICATION m H This volume is respectfully dedicated to our great American Republic and to the system of representative government which it is our sacred privilege to enjoy. | A comparative analysis of foreign and domestic governmental institutions is conclusive proof that we, in America, are blessed in abundance. May our people never sacrifice a single iota of their liberty, their freedom of speech and press, and their right to worship God as their individual consciences may direct. Most assuredly, shall we look with disapproval upon a foreign or radical suggestion that we change our democratic institutions to any based on dictatorships, loss of individuality, and the ruthless. God-less greed and ambitions of a perverted few. To our United States of America, we pay tribute. THE BUILDING High school classes were first held in the building now occupied by Casteel Rollo. The board was elected in 1913, and in September of the same year 23 students enrolled for study. Later in the month Lura Andrews transferred from Sheffield and entered as a senior. She was the first graduate of Manlius High School. The first faculty were: G. F. Wilson, Principal, and Mrs. Wilson. The first members of the board of education were: Christian Schuneman, G. F. Hartz, M. L. McKune, Will Rudiger, and Charles Andrews. Of these men Will Rudiger is the only one living. The new building was erected in 1920. This building amply met the needs of the school for several years. However, the gymnasium was small and in the basement. It was a fire hazard so in 1931 the new building was built. This gave us one of the best gyms in the conference. We also have a good stage. The curriculum of the early school differed somewhat from that of today in that several subjects were offered then that are not offered now, and vice-versa. The following subjects have been at some time or other offered at Manlius, but have been discontinued: German, Solid Geometry, Commercial Geography, Zoology and Botany, Physiology, Sanitation, Hygiene, Modem and Medieval History, Ancient and Medieval History, Commercial Law, and French. Botany and Zoology are now combined in the one course, Biology. World History takes the place of Ancient and Medieval and Medieval and Modem History. Some new subjects are: General Science, Typing I and II, Shorthand I and II, Introduction to Business, Homemaking, and Foods. The present board consists of the following men: Charles Schmidt, President; W. C. Raabe, Vice President; Stacy Hewitt, Secretary; and Claude Barber and L. F. Van Ormer, members. The latter succeeded John Edlefson in the spring elections. Erwin E. Hake Principal B.A. McKendree College 1929 U. A. University of Illinois 1931 Social Science Iona Mensencick B. A.

THE OFFICE For the first time has the interior of the office been photographed. This room, familiar as it is to all Manlius students, could, if gifted with the power of speech, tell many interesting tales. Within its four walls, many tears have been shed. Here, confessions of misdemeanors have been made, sacred confidences given, and pleas for many and varied causes made. In this room has justice been meted out to both to the offender and the offended. Here parents have come to offer suggestions and to receive them for the general improvement of the school and to promote more effective relations between the school and home. Traveling salesmen have in this room displayed their wares each with a claim of superior goods. In this inner sanctuary has the board of education discussed its vital problems, hired and fired its employees, and established basic rules for the operation of the school. This room has felt the presence of thieves coming in the dark of the night to steal, destroy and desecrate. Barren as the room may seem with desk, safe, typewriter, book case and chairs, it is, nevertheless, the center of the school controlling the business, social, curricular and extracurricular activities of the institution. ASSEMBLY There are 110 desks in the assembly. This year, however, only 98 of them are occupied. Of this number, 24 are seniors, 26 are juniors, 25 are sophomores, and 23 are freshmen. The library, containing about 1,200 books, is in the back of the assembly. Books may be checked out for a period of two weeks. If they are kept overdue a fine of two cents per day overtime is charged. A moderate sum of money is spent every year on the library; it will soon be one of the best among schools of this size. In the front of the assembly are history and biology reference books, in addition to two sets of encyclopedia. It is in the assembly that we have all of our special programs, such as visiting speakers, demonstrations and similar numbers. Every Thursday afternoon an educational movie is presented in the assembly. Some of the subjects are travel, safety, nature, etc. A daily newspaper, magazines, and a dictionary are kept in the assembly for the use of students. The ping pong table in the back of the room is in constant use from 8 o'clock in the morning until school time, all noon, and after school until 4:30 o'clock. As a whole, our school is as well equipped as any other of this size, and we hope it can always be kept so. STUDENT COUNCIL President_______________Lawrence Dale Secretary-Treasurer______Jack Swanson Vice President___________Rubye Lindelof Faculty Members______Miss Mensendick Mr. Hake The Student Council is an organization consisting of two students from each class and two faculty members. They are, Freshmen, Marilyn Carlson and Max Dahl; Sophomore, Viola Ray and Leo Lindelof; Juniors, Sadie Whipple, and Jack Swanson; Seniors, Rubye Lindelof and Lawrence Dale. This Student Council helps to organize, promote, and in a way supervises the activities of the school. Appointment of committees and plans for school events, such as parties and the annual carnival are supervised by the Student Council. As an elected body, representing the interests of each class, it can insure that each activity is properly organized, conducted, and financed. SENIOR HISTORY In the year of 1935 A. D., 30 Freshmen came to the Manlius High School to get a glimpse of High School Life. Mr. Hake was the principal, having succeeded Mr. French; Miss Ware, Miss Beyer, Miss Holtz, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Peart were associate teachers. Many of our now dignified Seniors had just been graduated from little one room school houses and now were quite frightened by the seemingly large building. But due to the help of the understanding teachers and to the upper classmen we soon became acquainted with the school. We were guests at an initiation party, sponsored by the upper classmen. Returning next year we found many changes. Miss Wulz had taken the place of Miss Ware; Mr. Taylor had succeeded Mr. Sherman and Miss Nelson had taken the place of Miss Holtz. We now had much more confidence in high school life, having been associated with it for one year. The World History Class took a trip to the Field Museum in Chicago. Several boys went to the annual Livestock show and the remainder visited the WGN broadcasting studio and Tribune Tower. The fall of the next year found still more changes. Miss Mensendick had taken the place of Miss Wulz, and during the latter part of the year Mr. Curtis occupied the seat of Mr. Peart. The Civics Class took a trip to Joliet to visit the new penitentiary during the second semester. We gave the play The Eyes of Tlaloc, a thrilling mystery story. We were hosts to the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior banquet. This was held in LaSalle at the Hotel Kaskaskia. After the banquet the majority of diners went to the show The First Hundred Years. During the three years Verla Smith, Clifford Thompson, Max Lindelof, Lauraetta Stoens, Helen Lathrop, Gertrude Wiggim, James Draper, and Bette Philhower left the ranks. Later on Ronald Anderson and Wayne Hansen also deserted us. Vera Pierson joined our class as a Sophomore and Harry Goossens became a member during 1938 and Ben Butler is to be graduated with us. On April 14, we went to Bradley College for Senior Day, to get a glimpse of college life, and to try to get ideas for our future vocations. We gave the Senior play, Stillwaters, on May 5, which proved to be a success, in every sense of the word. Later in the year, we were entertained by the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior banquet. A delightful time was spent by all. During our four years we have gained much knowledge that will no doubt aid us in the years to come. We have learned to be better citizens and we have prepared ourselves for the future. We hope that the high school students to be, will profit by our mistakes and learn more from our experience.

C., and that most of the Seniors of 39 were invited Dy a special invitation of the President of the United States, Lawrence DeBolt. As a newspaper reporter and a former Manlius High School student I was interested in the “goings on,” so I decided to go there myself. As I was anxious to arrive as soon as possible, I made the trip in a streamlined Zephyr. Wasn’t I surprised to see Rubye Lindelof and Lawrence Dale. They were on their way to Washington also. They told me that they planned to get married in the capital by their old classmate, Kenneth Tucker. Kenneth was widely renowned for his missionary work in China and for converting the heathen. Upon arriving in the city I saw a group of autograph fans surrounding Delbert Edlefson, the movie star. A movie scout had seen him making love in the Senior Class production, “Stillwaters,” and thought he showed some talent for acting so he rushed him off to Hollywood where he made good. Walking down the street I saw Opal Conley. Yes—still Conley. Adrian had purchased a 1958 car and they decided to pay for it before getting married. They had set the newest example for the lovelorn and many were following their example. I saw Marvin Fordham being interviewed by the “Man on the Street.” Marvin was the coach at Fordham University, New York. He was known as one of the greatest coaches since Knute Rockne. Walking on farther I met Ben Butler. He seemed very happy. When I asked him why, he said. After twenty years of intensive studying I’m at last about to receive my college diploma.” A sign on a building said, “Advice to Young Mannequins,” so I went in. Ruth Jensen, famous model for Schiaperelli, was telling the young hopefuls how to become models. In an adjoining building Harry Goossens was auctioning tobacco. He owned a large plantation in southern Missouri and had several hundred workers. Forrest Kerber, surrounded by an awe-stricken audience, was demonstrating Plymouth cars. He was the official car tester and was called “Dare-JDevil-Kerber.” He would hit solid walls going at the rate of 70 miles an hour and would go through burning buildings. Through the airways Hazel Riggs, famous commentator of the latest scandal was telling the audience that “Gone With the Wind” was soon to be released and she advised the audience to see it. Immediately proceeding the scandal reading, Ethel Schmidt came on in a special broadcast. She was “Mimi,” in “La Boheme.” For an intermission in the concert Dr. Kenneth Smith, famous doctor, told the audience how he brought the Taunean sextuplets into the world. He was nationally known as the greatest “Small Town Doctor” since Dafoe. Around noon I felt a few slight pangs of hunger and decided to look around for a lunch stand. What was my surprise to see the “Teske Tasty Tidbit” stand. Alverda Teske had many of these stands in every important city. As the President had given the class of ’39 a special invitation to come to one of his famous fireside chats I decided to go there and see if I could locate any more of my former classmates. Sitting beside the President was his private secretary, Jean Allen Van Ormer. Jean Allen received her wish to be a secretary to a “Big Boss.” Ben Schuneman was the Secretary of Agriculture. He was recommended by the farmers near Manlius. Leonard Hansen, chief justice of the Supreme Court—came in with flowing robes, white hair and glasses. Yes, he looked the part of a judge all right. LeRoy Hard, the speaker of the House of Representatives, gave a little speech before the President went on the air. He was commonly referred to as the “silver tongued orator of the House. Sitting in a chair was Treva Renner. She had a special invitation from the President to join her old classmates at his mansion. She was famous for working in the slums of Manlius! In fact she did such great work that the President had asked her to head his Social Service Bureau. Manlius had grown into quite a prosperous town due to the cheese factory. The President’s speech aroused such enthusiasm that several fainted. Several Red Cross nurses, among them Leah Alters, Betty Hartz, Geraldine Oloffson and Vera Pierson, rushed to their aid. These girls had taken an oath that they would never marry, but Betty was having trouble keeping that vow. After visiting together for several hours the guests returned to their occupations and homes, feeling well repaid for the time spent in renewing acquaintances.

The editor and the staff sincerely hope that the students and their families have enjoyed reading the newspaper, for the purpose of learning about school events and also for finding enjoyment and reading pleasure. BAND Our band was organized early in the year under the supervision of Mr. Albert Sweet. Several students took individual lessons under his supervision. The band held rehearsals every Wednesday afternoon from 2:45 to 3:45. The band made its public appearance for the school plays. The members were: TRUMPETS Billy Rudiger Roger Birdsall Betty Hartz Jacqueline Stier Viola Ray TROMBONE Hazel Riggs PIANO Jean Allen Van Ormer CLARINETS Geraldine Oloffson Alverda Teske Rita Hewitt Avis Thompson Marilyn Spratt VIOLIN Benjamin Butler DRUM Phyllis Pierson Virginia Moe SOUSAPHONE Vivian Baxter SAXOPHONES Ethel Schmidt Max Dahl SNARE DRUM Betty Lou Pierson JUNIOR CLASS PLAY EASY MONEY “Easy Money” was a humorous comedy-drama with plenty of mystery lurking around the corner. It was a fast-moving play charged with laughter and sprinkled with chuckles from the time the curtain rose on Rudy Smith falling down the stairway, until the curtain fell on the cry of 'All Aboard for Lulatown.” The Smiths of Lulatown inherited some money, and Mrs. Smith conceived the idea of making “Easy Money” by selling her brother Jim’s invention (without his knowledge) to Marcus Astorbilt, a millionaire, manufacturer, who was vacationing at Breezy Beach. The Smith’s arrived at Breezy Beach and immediately changed their names to “Hi-Smith” and things began to happen. Farina Witherspoon, a designing woman, appeared on the scene and caused more trouble. While Mrs. Hi-Smith was struggling to contact the millionaire, her daughter Pam, was carrying on a courtship with this young man, whom she knew as “Bunk.” Many humorous, as well as dramatic scenes were enacted. Three entertaining love affairs ran throughout the play, “Mighty Fine,” and “Aunt Sue” heading the list. SENIOR CLASS PLAY STILLWATERS “Stillwaters” was a modern play combining fact and fiction. It was a play of big sweeping emotions, warm with life and high aspirations, yet so humorous and close to the heart, that the emotional tension was relieved many times by comical scenes and witty dialogue that brought forth hearty laughter. Drayton Darlington, handsome young man of “Stillwaters,” was a born chemist, with a strong desire to pursue his inclinations. He was greatly hampered by his aristocratic aunt, Priscilla, who wished him to carry the “family torch” in the same manner as did his forefathers. Drayton was extremely interested in Nick Brown, his cousin Wallis’ trained nurse, who came to “Stillwater” from Canada, where she nursed in a paper mill. Nick had a dazzling personality whose influence was felt throughout the drab old walls of “Stillwaters.” Miss Priscilla schemed to make Drayton jealous of Nick and Jerry (Drayton’s handsome overseer). She succeeded also in forcing Drayton to enter politics, in co-operation with Mr. Frederick, a crooked politician, who wished his daughter, Lucille, to marry Drayton. The second act, found Drayton hopelessly involved in “the game of graft.” Here many dramatic scenes were enacted, relieved by the sparkling wit of negro servants, Aunt Mandy, “Slo Joe” and Posey. Miss Priscilla’s friends. Miss Jessica and Araminta, “news carriers,” also were humorous characters, to say nothing of old Sam Watkins, a typical “Georgia cracker.” The face of a mysterious man appeared at intervals in Act III. Drayton’s graft was discovered and the curtain fell as Detective Meyer was placing the handcuffs on Drayton. In the last act, mystery surrounded “Stillwaters.” Drayton and his cousin, Wallis, disappeared. Miss Priscilla suffered a nervous breakdown. She was nursed back to health by Nick Brown, who won her admiration. All ended well when Drayton and Wallis returned from Savannah, where they had made astounding chemical discoveries. Mrs. Hake supervised all dramatic and public speaking activities during the past year as she has done for the past three years. JUNIOR PLAY CAST Mrs. Hi-Smith....... Mr. Hi-Smith........

These movies were given every Thursday during the eighth period. On September 28, Judge Everett Richmond of Wyanet, gave an inspiring speech to the students. He gave an account of his life and some bird imitations. September 29: Reverend Woudsma of New Bedford and the Kooy Brothers of Minnesota furnished some worthwhile entertainment for the students. Mrs. Kooy gave two very interesting chalk talks. They played several musical instruments and sang. October 26: the Cotton Blossom Singers from Piney Woods, Mississippi, again entertained the students. There were four singers and a speaker. They told about the Piney Woods school and about their lives as entertainers. January 9: A. T. Scovill of the Scovill Business School of Sterling, gave a philosophical address concerning life after graduation. Mr. Scovill has spoken here in previous years and was found interesting again this year. November 9: a movie, The Lady of the Lake, was presented for the benefit of all English students. February 9: Mr. Lyons spoke about marihuana and narcotics. His speech emphasized the harmful effects of narcotics. March 24: a liquid air and dry ice demonstration was given in the assembly. Many amazing new discoveries in this field were shown. March 29: Reverend Kindig, evangelist, gave a religious talk about the lives of young people. All profited by his advice. His wife helped him in presenting several musical selections. April 3: a man representing Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, gave a movie showing circus life. A complete discussion accompanied the picture. On the morning of April 3, Dr. Mason, president of Huntington College, gave a rather impromptu talk on college possibilities and life vocations. All of the students, the Seniors in particular, enjoyed his talk very much. LITERARY CONTESTS There was a change in the manner of conducting the literary contests in Bureau County this year. Instead of having the Zone Contests, each of the four events was held at a separate place for county honors. Mary Margaret Ballard represented Manlius at DePue in the extemporaneous speaking, Rita Hewitt in dramatics at Malden, Ben Schuneman gave an oration at Buda, and Roger Birdsall gave a humorous reading at Manlius. Roger won first place in the county with his reading, Beach-Nuts. TYPING TEAM This typing team consisting of Treva Renner, Jean Allen Van Ormer, and Kenneth Smith, were chosen by the commercial instructor in the year 1938 as beginning students. On Wednesday, April 13, 1938, they attended the district tournament held in Spring Valley. The team placed first, with an average of 45.77, and Jean Allen placed second as an individual, with a record of 53.53. The two individuals receiving first and second were sent to the sectional, which was held Saturday, April 30, at Mount Morris. Here the students showed their progress by bringing home first honors, with the average of 48.71. Jean Allen placed first as an individual with 57.04 words a minute. She was therefore eligible to be entered as an individual in the State contest which was held at Champaign. May 13, 14. The team again did remarkable work under the great pressure placed upon them. They received fifth honor in the State with an average of 49.18. Jean Allen placed eighth as an individual. At the beginning of this year they went on from where they left off. Thus far they have done wonderful work. January 31, 1939, the Tri-County Championship Typing Contest was held at the Kewanee Business College. The team participated and came home bringing with them high honors with an average of 59.23. Jean Allen placed first as an individual with 75 words a minute. As a reward for her work she received a portable Corona typewriter. Kenneth Smith placed third with an average of 46 words a minute which is a high average for boys. The class in American Government has had its regular academic work varied somewhat during the past four years by participating in planned and correlated excursions and by enacting certain governmental procedures. This year, the class visited the new Stateville prison at Joliet where a specially conducted tour was arranged. On the same day, the group attended two sessions of circuit court in Ottawa, where a civil suit was being tried. On its return home, the class carried out a complete trial involving a case of felonious assault. The accompanying photograph shows one of the court scenes in which all members of the class participated, serving as judge, attorneys, defendant, circuit clerk, reporter, sheriff, jurymen or witnesses. On the day of the regular November elections, the class, through the courtesy of election officials, went to the polls, marked sample ballots and in every way carried out the complete procedure of voting. Practical experiences such as these have helped to make the course more interesting and practical. This is a new course, with Mr. Hake as the instructor. We started out on what might be called —nothing. Before the end of the year, we had available, three new microscopes, eighteen dissecting sets, wall chart, and many preserved specimens. Each student had a work book to use which followed along with the lesson assigned in the text book. Each student also chose a project about which he wished to study in a more detailed manner. Some students took up the study of tree leaves, plant leaves, plant seeds, flowers, mounting birds, collecting skulls and brains. A collection of the embryos of chicks was prepared by one student. In the fall and in the spring, the class took field trips. On these field trips students became more closely associated with the wonders of nature. During the winter season, the class made four major dissections and the students prepared drawings of these. They were the dissection of an earthworm, crayfish, fish and frog. In these animals we studied the digestive, respiratory, nervous, circulatory, excretory and reproductive systems. The work has been very interesting, and the course promises to be hn attractive one in the future.

The Future Farmers of America is an organization made up of boys who are or have been, members of the vocational agriculture classes. It was started at Kansas City, in 1928, and has been growing rapidly since that time. The purposes of the organization are: 1—To promote vocational agriculture in the high schools of America. 2—To create more interest in the intelligent choice of country life. 3—To create and nurture a love of country life. 4—To provide recreational and educational entertainment for the Future Farmers of America. 5—To promote thrift. 6—To establish confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work. 7—To promote scholarship. 8—To develop local leadership. There are four grades of membership based on achievement. These grades are: 1—Green Hand, 2—Future Farmer, 3—State Farmer, 4—American Farmer. This organization has done much toward raising the standards of the farm youth. LATIN CLUB The Latin Club is composed of the twenty-three members, or the entire class. Miss Nelson is the adviser. The Latin Club begins with the roll call followed by the secretary's report of the last meeting. President.........................................Treva Renner Vice President......................................Hazel Riggs Secretary.........................................Evelyn Smith The club meets every third week on Tuesday, ninth period. Two boys are unable to come on account of boys' gym. Every member is supposed to wear a toga, also each member has a Latin name. The program committee is made up of Rita Hewitt, Bernadine Teske, and Ruth Butler. We have the same motto as last year: Mortua lingua vivax socretas —(“a dead language, a live society ) and the same colors and flower— Rufa et Alba —(red and white), and Rosa —(Rose).

FOOTBALL The following boys were out for football in the fall of 1938: Delbert Edlefson—Senior—Captain—Tackle—Outstanding lineman of the conference. Surest tackier on the squad. Marvin Fordham—Senior-Back—His passing, running, and kicking, made him a marked man in all games. Ben Schuneman—Senior—End-—Ben's size and aggressiveness made him a valuable player on both offense and defense. Kenneth Tucker—Senior—Tackle—Kenneth's hard tackling prevented many opponent touchdowns. Lawrence Dale—Senior—End—Lawrence's height and long arms made him a good pass receiver and dependable tackier. LeRoy Hard—Senior—Tackle—LeRoy was the hardest working boy on the squad, he was always dependable. Jack Swanson—Junior—Quarterback—A smart quarterback and shifty ball carrier and outstanding pass receiver. Billy Rudiger—Junior—Back—Bill was the outstanding blocker on the squad and valuable at returning punts. Don Roush—Junior—Center—Don's ability to spot the opponents' plays made him a strong defensive player. Owen Hurst—Sophomore—Tackle—Owen could be depended on to make a path for the ball carrier. Other boys out for football who were largely responsible for the team's success but didn't make a letter were: Forrest Kerber, Roger Birdsall, Leo Hartz, Vance Casteel, Lester Pierson, and Max Dahl. BASKETBALL Manlius basketball boys were co-champions with Sheffield and Buda in the Conference. They won the District tournament at Wyanet. The first team players were: Fordham—the captain, a good all around player who could make points or guard. A senior that will be missed. Schuneman—A senior and a very good guard. Didn't make many points but kept opponents from making them. Dale—A senior and the center of the team. His height helped to get the rebounds. Tucker—Another senior who didn't play quite so much. He was a center and could handle the ball well. Swanson—Forward, a junior who will be back next year. The high point man of the school and one of the high point men of the state. Rudiger—Forward, another junior who was good at handling the ball and making long shots. The second team: Pierson, Birdsall, Dahl, Wilkinson, Hurst, Dabler, Hochstatter, Casteel, Hard, Kerber, Anderson.
