Contents Manual High in History The Setting, Peoria, Illinois Administration and Organization Passing Events-1936 - 1937 Honors and Achievements Our Patrons Personal Index w V4 ...XX --- Four -1- Prologue THE 1936-'37 MIRROR'l greets you in new dress, with many new ideas, and with some old ones in disguised form and asks you to share with us our joys and sorrows, our successes and failures, and our achievements of the past year. While these pages will primarily set forth a record of the events of the school year, they will also include, through pictures, writing, and handwork, a tribute to our city, Peoria. - You will find here not only student actors, but faculty, parents, school board, and friends playing their parts to make this book living history with scenes from school, home, field, track, forest, and fioor. Our Mirror reflects in its face the achievements of all interested in Man- ual, who have worked together with the spirit of cooperation arising from a deep interest in our school. Each department has prepared its share of material in the construction of our year book. Languages, mathematics, athletics, shops, labora- tories, stage, office, commercial classes, history, home management, sewing, geog- raphy, art, science, all have contributed their best. From these we can read of successes, achievements, and progress, not only of individuals but also of groups and departments. Into these pages the love of beauty enters in large measure. Upon the entering Sophomores will be shed the light of inspiration from its pages, which will glow so brightly that they will grasp opportunities and meet with joyous determination all challenges that present themselves as standards to equal or surpass. The motive is to develop in young people the powers which they possess to do things. This unfolding in youth is the process of true education which fits them for life with its responsibilities of manhood and citizenship. They learn the joy and lessons of cooperation and of sharing mutual interests. Thus has developed this book which is presented to you as the Mirror of 1936-'37. ' nk F' .ui MANUAL TRAINING HIGH SCHOOL Manual! Her place in the community has been attained by high ideals and a democratic spirit, which have ever been sought and highly cherished throughout the years of her existence. ' . ' A 1. A 1. - Six Manual DURING the twenty-eight years of Manual's existence many things have happened which are of histori- cal significance. From the day that Manual opened up to the present time many important events, contests, ath- letic games, achievements, social and extra-curricular activities have taken place. Prior to the opening of Manual the only high school in the city was lo- cated at the corner of Fayette and Monroe streets. Known as Peoria High School, it was organized in 1856. Increased city population and ever- increasing enrollments in this school made necessary the construction of an additional building. The ground on which our school now stands was chosen for this purpose. An isolation hospital previously occupied the site selected. From this location to the bluff extended a large body of water known as Goose Lake, which afford- ed both boating and fishing in season. Ground for the new school was broken on December 9, 1908 and the actual building of our school was begun. Plans called for the use of red sandstone and terra cotta brick for the exterior. By fall of the following year the building was completed at a cost of S483,000, and Manual Training High School was opened. Little attempt was made at land- scaping until 1914 when Mr. P. G. Miles donated a number of American elm trees to beautify the grounds. During the dry years of 1935 and 1936, however, many of these trees succumbed and have since been re- placed with Chinese elms which are said to be more hardy and drought resistant. Then in 1923 Mrs. M. L. Fuller donated shrubbery to further increase the attractiveness of the sur- roundings. Though ample provisions for in- creased enrollments had supposedly been made, yet by 1921 increased facilities became necessary. Excava- tion for additions to cost 3S250,000 was begun in December, and the new classrooms and gymnasiums were opened in 1922. The original building consisted of only the major front portion of the present structure. Large study halls occupied the third floor at both ends, the office was directly over the main stairway, the library occupied the site of the present offices, shops were lo- cated at the west end of both first and second floors, the gymnasium compris- ed the front half of the present cafe- teria, while the rear portion contained the heating plant. In order to get to the gymnasium, it was necessary to descend four steps from the hall, and the playing floor was obstructed by two large pillars. With the completion of these additions the cafeteria was enlarged occupying the entire space, the boiler rooms were constructed in the rear and extended to Howett Street. Manual opened in September, 1909, with an enrollment of 158 students and a faculty of twelve teachers. At its head was Mr. W. N. Brown, a man who capably filled this position until the fall of 1922. Only two of the present faculty remain, Miss Edna L. Earnest and Mr. D. C. Hilling, but these have watched with pride and satisfaction the expansion and devel- opment of the school throughout these many years. No changes were made in the per- sonnel of the faculty the second year but increases came with regularity after 1911, until in 1931, a total of 62 teachers was reached. The following year saw a decline in this number due to the transfer of a number of teachers to the newly-opened Roosevelt Junior High School. In all, the names of 174 different teachers have appeared on the Manual roster since its opening. Some of these teachers have changed to other lines of work, some have been called to render greater educational service elsewhere, and some have given their all in service to Manual. The school has felt keenly the loss of a number of instructors who were taken during their period of service: Sidney Cullings, who passed away March 17, 1927, Reba Longman, Sep- tember, 1927, Laura Patterson, Au- gust 28, 1931, Josephine Gilbert, Au- gust 1, 19325 Corienne Illingsworth, February 2 1, 1935, and Gustava Dan- ner, July 24, 1935. They will always be remembered for the willing and unselfish spirit of helpfulness they dis- played during their work for the school and student body. fContinued on page 1882 QQ V1 L 1- Eight ---Q Peoria, in the heart of Illinois, second city of a great state, achieved her position not only by virtue of her location in the rich agricultural section, which she serves but also through her own industrial and civic enterprise as Well PEORIA ILLINOIS 1937 Peoria PEORIA, the second city of the state of Illinois, whose slogan is, Where land, air, and water transpor- tation meet, is situated near the cen- ter of the state on the Illinois River and is easily accesssible from every part of the country. The name Peoria is said to have been derived from 'an Indian tribe called Peorias, a member of the con- federation of five tribes, which occu- pied this territory in its earliest re- corded history. S e v e r a l different spellings of the word are found, one is, piwarea, meaning he comes car- rying a pack on his back. Peoria is the oldest settlement in Illinois and in the Mississippi Valley, west of the Allegheny Mountains. Two hundred sixty-three years ago, June 10, 1673, Jacques Marquette, a Jesuit priest accompanied by Louis Joliet, a French explorer, landed on the shores of the Illinois River and they are believed to be the first white men to ever set foot on the site of Peoria. They probably kept very meager records of their sojourning, and such reports as were made, have been lost so that the world has scant knowledge of their discoveries. How- ever, the hotel Pere Marquette at the corner of Madison and Monroe streets stands as a memento to Father Mar- quette and his exploits. Though he was but thirty-eight years of age, death overtook him May 18, 1875, on the bank of Lake Michigan, and he was buried at the mouth of the Mar- quette River. For seven years after the departure of Marquette and Joliet, the Indians continued to hunt and fish unmolested by further visits of the white man. Then, Sieur de La Salle, another French explorer, with Henry de Tonti and a small group of followers, landed on the shores of Lake Pitmitoui, now known as Lake Peoria. For protection he was forced to build a fort, which he located across the river from the present site of the city. The Indians were troublesome and resented the invasion of the white men. The explorers were so harassed by the Indians that they were soon compelled to abandon this fort which they called Creve Coeur. In French this means broken heart, and was indicative of their regret at being un- able to hold a territory so rich in natural resources. La Salle was murdered March 19, 1687, in the woods near the Trinity River in the state of Texas. CLAIMS OF OWNERSHIP Territorial changes and claims of ownership of this vast territory in the new world aroused enmity and ill will particularly with the Indians, whose claims persisted until after the Black Hawk War in 1832. The Spanish claimed all of the western hemisphere by virtue of Co- lumbus's discovery in 1492. England based her claim to it upon Cabot's discoveries in 1498. Spain further pressed her claims by Virtue of De Soto's explorations of the Mississippi Valley in 15 1 1. The first French claim of ownership was based on the Chas- tes-de-Monts Charter of 1603 and later through the Canadian and In- dian Treaty of 1671, which followed the exploration of La Salle and Joliet. England d e c l a r e d ownership through the Virginia Patents in 1606- 1609, and colonization of New Eng- land followed. Her undisputed owner- ship came in 1763 through the treaty with Paris, which ceded all French possessions east of the Mississippi to her. General George Rogers Clark wrested the Illinois country from Eng- land in 1778, and Virginia directed her destinies until this entire territory was ceded to the United States in 1784. Thereafter governmental af- fairs affecting her welfare were con- ducted first as part of the Indiana Territory and later as the Illinois Ter- ritory. Illinois became a state in 1818 with Peorialand within its boundaries. Peoria County was formed in 1825, and comprised a large part of the northern one-fourth of the state, in- cluding what is now the city of Chi- cago. Six years later it was reduced Eleven 1 Main Street, From jefferson-1851. Y to approximately its present size. The village of Peoria was incorporated in 1835, and a city charter was granted by an Act of the General Assembly in 1845. In 1812, the French villagers were accused of being allied with the In- dians against the Americans, and a detachment of United States' soldiers under Captain Craig was dispatched to destroy the colony. The inhabitants were driven from their homes, and the village destroyed by fire. Fort Clark, in honor of George Rog- ers Clark, was built in the autumn of 1813 as a protection for the American soldiers against the Indian allies of the British, at a spot now marked as Liberty and Water Streets. It housed a garrison of some seven hundred mounted militiamen of Illinois and Missouri, as soon as the troops were withdrawn, the Indians promptly burned it. The ruins of its charred walls were visible as late as 1840. GROWTH No further attempt was made by white men to return to this location until 1819, when three settlers ar- rived by boat to be followed a few days later by four other men on horse- back. Of these, Josiah Fulton, then but nineteen years of age, and who reached a ripe old age of ninety-four, described Peoria as a big Indian vil- lage with many children, dogs, and half-drunken braves running about. This was the actual beginning of the present city. Growth was very slow in this period of Illinois history. By 1825, the entire population of extensive Peoria county was only 1,236 persons, and Peoria herself, in 1833, had only twenty-five families. At this early date, an order was issued that forbade erection of build- ings on the land held as public prop- erty in front of Water Street until such time as incorporation was accom- plished. By 1840, the population had grown to 1,277 inhabitants. Increase from this time was rapid. In 1850, the population was 5,0953 in 1900, 55,100g and in 1930, 104,969, and most recent estimates point to a pres- ent population of better than 114,000 people. EDUCATION In 1821, Peoria's iirst schoolhouse of logs was built near the site of the present day Franklin Street bridge in the upper part of what is now Water Street. The first schoolmaster to call a class to order was Peter Grant. In 1844, a Ladies' Seminary, Peo- ria's first school of higher education, was built. In 1849, at 322 North Washington Street, the first public school was built, but not until 1855 was the first city board of inspectors elected. Meager were the funds they fContinued on page 2032 INSPIRING us with his mes- sage of wholesome living, bring- ing us words of encouragement when the need is greatest, con- soling us in times of despair or defeat, and ever finding time to rejoice with us in the celebration of our victories, he retains a uni- que place in our heartsg such a man is our Superintendent, Mr. E. C. Fisher. All Manual takes pride in honoring him. OF KEEN discernment, broad understanding, and sympathetic interest our principal, W. G. Rus- sell, knows well the problems of youth. To him we open our hearts and find a ready listener. We admire his virtues, we honor and respect his wishes, we seek his advice. We recognize him as a lover of knowledge, honesty, and truth and shall ever cherish our associations with him as administrator, counselor a n d friend. Thirteen Xvyc X f L -M Fourtee 1 Faculty Changes SCARCELY a year passes without changes in the personnel of the Manual faculty. The past year was no exception. Additions were made necessary because of marriages, resignations, and new requirements. Manual feels the loss of Miss Thompson and Miss Anderson both of whom were married during the summer vacation. Miss Thompson was married to Mr. Franklin H. Banta and is still a resident of Peoria. Miss Anderson was married to Mr. Roy Brand and is now residing in Champaign, Illinois. Mr. Fuller, teacher of mathematics and track coach, resigned to accept a position with the Sutliff and Case Drug Company. To each of you, Mrs. Banta, Mrs. Brand, and Mr. Fuller, we wish a long life of happiness and success. Miss T hompson's place as an English instructor was taken over by Miss Walmsley, an alumna of Manual and of Bradley. Miss Walmsley has had a number of years of teaching experience, she taught at Garfield School and comes to Manual from Roosevelt. Miss Coward, who replaced Miss Anderson in the commercial department, is also a graduate of Manual Q1928j. She did not continue her education imme- diately upon graduation from high school, but after working several years entered Bradley and was a member of the graduating class of 1936. A former Bradleyite, Mr. Becker, was appointed to fill the vacancy in the mathematics department and is coaching the sophomore basketball team. He graduated with the class of 1930 and won three letters both in basketball and baseball. After leaving college he spent two years in the commercial field, and then he received an appointment as teacher of mathematics and coach at the Hanover Illinois High School. His success was immediate and his basketball teams were always contenders for championship honors in tournament play. The vacancy in the commercial department left by Miss Reisz was filled by Mr. Bodine. Mr. Bodine has a B. S. degree conferred by Bradley as well as a Master's degree from Iowa University. His promotion came from an assistant principalship at Irving School. During the past years there were several practice teachers in the social science department, but because of the increase of students studying history, a full time teacher was needed. Mr. Pratt, who secured his education at Notre Dame University where he was an honor student in law, was appointed as a member of this department. These new teachers were well fitted for their places and soon adapted themselves to their new surroundings and conditions. The change was accom- plished with little apparent departure from the regular schedule. A. GRAY ADAMSON Biology GERTRUDE L. APPLEGATE English RALPH R, ATKINSON Woodwork RICHARD L.

The annual County Teacher's Institute, which car- ries with it compulsory attendance of all teachers in the county, was in ses- sion from August 31 to September 4. General programs consisted of lec- tures by well-known educators and division meetings w h e r e teaching methods for the various subjects were discussed. Musical numbers preceded each of the general sessions. Partici- pating in these were many former Manual students and alumni. Doro- thy Lugibihl, contralto, and Earline Doebler, soprano, both of whom were members of the class of 1935, sang groups of solos. The double male quartette of the class of 1936 rend- ered a group of selections. Elmer Sepesi, of the class of 1932, played a group of violin numbers. ENROLLMENT School opened on Tuesday, Sep- tember 8, and we were met at the door by boys and girls with free copies of The Manual. Much to our delight we received the news that periods would only be twenty minutes in length the first day. Student enroll- ment was slightly greater than last year, both at Manual and in the city at large. Manual figures were 1265, while city totals reached 15,285. The following day work began. The school day assumed its usual length, and class recitations of one hour dura- tion were in vogue. THE CAFETERIA The cafeteria was prepared to han- dle the hungry horde the second day and varied menus were offered. As we entered the cafeteria, many new fix- tures such as new shelving, rails, and a steam table caught our attention, to say nothing of the lights in the candy case-always appetizing and attrac- tive. These seemed but to increase the magnetism which drew the coins from our pockets and purses. Approx- imately 900 students and faculty members are served here daily with the aid of thirty-student helpers who augment the kitchen personnel of Mrs. Crooks, the cafeteria manager. Her personal supervision together with her personality and agreeable nature has endeared her to everyone of the student body who has come in contact with her during her three years of service here. All in Evidence at the Noon Hour We come to school, even Miss Earnest www ,ww Twenty-two An ample supply of textbooks. We make good use of Proctor Twenty-three - BOOKS The sale of text books was conduct- ed in much the same manner as be- fore, since the school board has seen fit to handle the texts. Sales were made from the office beginning on Wednesday and continued throughout the week, various teachers were in charge during the various hours of the day. Orders and cash were received by the classroom teacher and sent directly to the office for the supplies needed, thus confusion was elimi- nated, and more rapid means of dis- tribution was provided. Money col- lected from such sales to Manual stu- dents approached S2,000. The book exchange, operated by the members of the Student Council, was also in op- eration before and after school hours with Florence Wukasch in charge. This service was rendered both for those who had books for sale and those who desired to purchase used texts. FAIR EXHIBIT Manualis entry in the State Fair exhibit held at Springfield in August was put on display in the cafeteria so that all those who were not fortunate enough to see it in its original setting might enjoy the many phases of work which portrayed our school activities. Unfortunately, shop projects and dresses made by the sewing classes were delivered directly to students' homes on their return from Spring- field, hence these could not accom- pany the material which adorned the walls. Manual High School, placed in group four, CHigh schools having an enrollment of 1,000 to 1,500 stu- dentsj, again achieved high honors receiving ten first places out of eleven entries and a total cash award of 5128. Since we have no agriculture course, an entry in this division has never been possible for Manual, but repre- sentation in all of the other classes has been creditably made annually. THE BAND Strange noises emanating from the auditorium aroused our curiosity and upon examination we discovered - what do you suppose? It was the first rehearsal of the band, and as the sounds offended our musical ears we hastened on our way confident that at some future date harmony would grow out of discord and this organiza- tion would be one of which we would be most proud. GYM Keep off! Such were signs that greeted the casual visitor who by some hook or crook or devious passage gained access to the gymnasiums. Floors had been recently cleaned and newly varnished, and the boys were enthusiastic over the transfer of the classes to Proctor Center three blocks away. There the warm sunshine, fresh air, and a varied assortment of sports and exercises made gym days all too infrequent. Horseshoes, kittenball, football, and baseball all had their devotees, and much bickering and even bribery was resorted to in selec- tion of the activity for the day. THE MANUAL September, fifteenth, brought us two assembly periods. The Manuals so generously donated on the opening day had served their purpose and cards, circulated for subscriptions, were promptly signed. The band made its first appearance and such an appearance! Sixty members and as many instruments, a few days of prac- tice, and our predictions of the pre- vious weeks seemed on the road to fulfillment. But what a motley array! Upon investigation, however, we were informed that sixteen additional new uniforms had been ordered. Our doubts dispelled, we returned to our classroom, much elated with the evi- dent signs of progress. BANKING Banking was inaugurated with but little ballyhoo or fanfare. A new staff and a new adviser made its appear- ance, but no new records appeared to usher in the new regime of Bodine and Company. Some there were who could still spell and likewise illustrate --- Twen the meaning of the word thrift, and though the first week's average was ten per cent under that of last year's deposits on the opening day, we re- joice that there is room for improve- ment and hope we may all have a few nickels and dimes to aid in raising that forty-six per cent average. CONSTITUTION DAY September 17, 1936, was the 149th anniversary of the signing of the Con- stitution at Philadelphia. We study it, as a matter of course, little realizing the privileges guaranteed us under its provisions. Acclaimed as one of the greatest documents ever conceived by a liberty-loving people, may we ever cherish its wise provisions and honor those who sought to perpetuate the things which they had so dearly bought. EXCURSION Moonlight, but no roses! When the steamship, Capitol,l' pulled away from the wharf at the foot of Main Street, Peorians and Manualites were given a brief taste of the glamorous days of steamboat travel on the Illi- nois and Mississippi rivers. This excursion has come to be an annual affair sponsored by the alumni asso- ciation, and with the assemblage of old associates, rippling water, moon- light and a good dance orchestra, the evening was one long to be remem- bered by those who took advantage of the occasion. PROVISO Firsts! Let's enumerate. The first football game of the season, the first contest with Proviso High, first use of the new field, and the first defeat. So reads the story. Proviso High of May- wood, Illinois, appeared on the foot- ball schedule for the first time and brought to Manual a veteran team of size, speed, and all-around ability. The first half was evenly fought, both teams using strong running attacks with neither team threatening the goal line. Manual was outplayed the second half but never outfought. A ty-four -i fumble paved the way for a touch- down in the third quarter, and Pro- viso scored again the third and fourth, Manual went down in defeat, 20 to 0. PEP CLUB After the chastisement administered by Proviso we came to the conclusion that a livelier cheering section was needed. The second version of such an organization was again under the leadership of Mr. Cahail. Membership was limtied to fifty people, and these were furnished with oil cloth Capes and caps, half in orange and half in black. By means of these, various designs and letters were made which added to the attractiveness of this unit in the bleachers. Small though this group seemed, they led the way and other Manual rooters quickly fell in line. The triple M, 4'Fight Man- ual, Fightf' Yea Manual, and other words of encouragement and praise soon had their effect, and victories were forthcoming. ASSEMBLY SEATS Being overgrown has its advantages but far more disadvantages. With our growth and enrollment exceeding that which was expected and for which the high school building is adapted, the number of assembly seats is inade- quate, and but half the student body may attend at any one session. Miss Justus again had charge of the seating arrangements and both Groups 1 and 2 anxiously awaited announcements on the bulletin board hoping no errors might occur to deprive either of their rightful turn at the infrequent call to assembly programs. MYSTERY PLAY Friday, September 25, a spooky feeling and little shivers up your spine! And yet one had plenty of company. One was really glad when the house lights were turned on. Per- haps you have guessed it. just a reac- tion from the mystery play, Three Taps at Twelve, produced by mem- bers of the Alumni Association under the direction of Verla Reid.

Such programs and entertainments as are provided by this organization are promoted solely for the benefit of the Manual scholarship fund, which pro- vides means and an opportunity for some worthy graduate to attend col- lege. We are proud of this organiza- tion, the only one of its kind in the city of Peoria, and rejoice in the pep and enthusiasm which it displays in such a worth-while and laudable undertaking. PAY DAY Doors swinging! Laughter! Fac- ulty on parade! Excitement for the cast of the Alumni play was naught as compared to that of faculty members who trouped to the office to sign their first pay roll after a long drought of three months. With checks carefully tucked away in various intricate places of concealment, the day went rapidly and duties were cheerfully performed. Tomorrow they will be welcomed as never before by butcher, by baker, by department store. DECATUR The second game of the football season was a nocturnal affair at Deca- tur. We had the appellation of the underdogs but came away with the long end of the Q6-OD score. Touted as contenders for Big 12 honors, the Decatur loss was hard to take by some of the irate fans, and in addition to a victory, the Manual team received a shower of missiles directed at the bus as they started on their journey home- ward. PICNIC To the new teachers joining the ranks of the Manual faculty the fall picnic of this group was one of unusual and dynamic interest. Twice post- poned on account of moisture, it even- tually occurred on September 28 at the rooms of the Teachers' Club in the Administration Building. Service at the tables and entertainment follow- ing the luncheon were provided by the 'fNeophites, and from rumors that found their way out the oldsters must have found pleasure in the discoml fiture of the youngsters. When at the height of the Knock, Knocksn the order was given to Russell up some more food, the meeting was promptly adjourned. Twenty-seven -l 1 1 I' f e I ' , N Uniforms come out oi the moth balls.

From our first day in grade school until we entered Manual we had envisioned the day when we would become Manualites. We associated the idea of going to school with the thought of becoming more cultured. We noticed that when our friends found that we were at last attending Manual they seemed well pleased. As all first days are, our first day as beginners was crammed with accidents, which to us, at that time, seemed fraught with danger. We were constantly mixed up, and many of us were in the wrong room when the bell rang. Calm upper classmen gave distraught freshies crazy instructions which they followed to the letter, usually ending in the boiler room. Howvthose precious seconds fled as we nervously fumbled with our locks. Usually during the first week or so, we just ran inside our classroom door as the bell rang. But now we are acquiring that dignity which distinguishes the upper classman. But we do not intend to be humorous, we are more concerned with the serious aspect of the situation. What do we like about our school? What has impressed us most? We'll tell you. Most of all, overshadowing all other things, we consider the democratic method of governing this school most important. A mayor and a council to carry out our individual and collective wishes through the medium of the home room council membersg this in itself is a wonderful feature of our school life. Our first hour teachers act as advisers giving us helpful hints about the perplexing prob- lems which arise during our school life. We feel that each and every one of us has been given individual attention in his own particular line of study. We take off our hats to those seniors who are leaving Manual and are enter- ing the outside world. They are imbued with the principles of good sportsman- ship, level-headedness, and fair play which is now being taught us. It is our belief that the sophomore year is the basis upon which our other two years are built, and we wish to thank those who have helped us during our first year at Manual, our teachers and advisers, our principal, Mr. Russell, and all others, who have made the bumps lighter. We enjoyed the assemblies given by the council and wish to congratulate them for the fine work they have done, and we hope that in the future their ven- tures will be as successful as in the past. What about the band and orchestra? Three cheers for Mr. Huber and his people. The orchestra has been doing fine work at the dances. As for the band, all loyal Manualites know what a place it should hold in the school. With our band parading the field, Manual can never lose. To carry on the traditions of Manual, to uphold the standards which our predecessors have set, is our goal and aim. Fulfilling this task will not be a bed of roses, but rather will it be a hard struggle to reach the mark set so high by other Manualites. During our junior and senior years, we are going to pull and work as hard for our school as those who have pulled and worked for us in our sophomore year. We are going to put Manual to the fore as our predecessors have done: we are going to keep her reputation fine and clean, unsullied by any act of ours, because we are never going to march backward, but always forward as other Manualites have done in the past and will do in the future. -ROBERT MARSHALL, '39.

They soon discover that this meeting is for the purpose of organizing the class and nominating their officers. As a result of this gathering, a nominating committee is selected. In a few weeks this small group has chosen the candidates for the officers of the junior class of 1936. The class holds its election and as a result the following officers are elected: Robert Baden, President, Robert Graham, Vice-president, Nadine Naisen, Secretary, and Josephine Yonkoski, Treasurer. At approximately the same time the class has its election for Student Council members. Nadine Naisen, Betty Stamerjohn, Lucile Baker, Valeria Nunqs, Florence Wukasch, Eleanor Laro, and Donald Zerwekh are the ones who' are clXose1Q to represent the class in the Student Council. And then the football season opens. The juniors quickly discover that many of their fellow classmates shine in athletics. Among those who go out for football are Arnholt, Warmick, Chinuge, Oglesby, and Matalon. There are also several juniors who are journalistic-minded and so have chosen to strive for the positions of members of the Manual Staff. Marjorie Moore, Florence Wukasch, Minnie Lou Rogers, Richard Bodtke, Gene Mangis, and Ralph Deatherage are those who try to aid the paper by their services. Then comes Christmas vacation! The juniors are indeed very happy to be relieved of the regular school routine for 'two weeks. But after the vacation is over, they begin to think about the collection of the class dues and also of preparing for the Junior Prom. A committee' is chosen, and in a very short while the dance is held at the Inglaterra. Such a hilarious time is enjoyed by everyone! Then comes the class party. Finally June rolls into sight. Those who have been juniors during the school year of 1936-1937 suddenly find themselves to be the coming senior class of 1937-1938. Another page in the Book of Time has been turned!

T- Fifty-three ---M--- Student Council HERE, within the walls of Manual, exists a small democracy controlled by a student governing body, the Student Council. Much credit is due this organization for its contributions to the welfare of Manual students. Acting as a sponsor, the Student Council brought to Manual many delight- ful assemblies, some of which were procured through the Midwest Assemblies Corporation. Besides these, the Council had charge of the Second Annual Manual Revue, collection and distribution of Thanksgiving baskets, the sale of Christmas seals, the Crowell subscription campaign, and a spring clean-up campaign. The chief executive power of this government is vested in our mayor, Bernard Hoffman. Other officers of this organization are Maxine Farrell, presi- dent, Mary Tobin, secretaryg and Fae Deemy, treasurer. Work throughout the entire year is accomplished by committees appointed by the mayor. The Standing committees this year were as follows: Lost and Found, Fae Deemy and Eleanor Larog Social Welfare, Mary Tobin and Lucille Baker, Social Hour, Maxine Farrell and Betty Stammerjohng Stairs and Corridors, Don Zerwekh and Kenneth Hirthg School Properties, Robert Keel and Bernard Blair. 7 W COUNCIL Back Row-K.

These young people received their checks from the government on the basis of work per- formed about the schoolg the maxi- mum amount of pay, S6.00, is received for twenty hours of work during the month. Various were their assign- ments. The stenographic department, shops, laboratories, grounds, field, and gymnasium all provided tasks accord- ing to the ability of the student ac- cepted. Work began soon after school opened, and checks were received monthly through the general office. FREEDOM The life of a gypsy! Few of us there are who have never felt the urge, the impelling force that calls to us from the great out-of-doors. To live the care-free roving life of the gypsy has been the ambition of each of us at some period of our life, but few there are who have succumbed to the lure or have been permitted to embark on such an adventure. How we have envied Miss Earnest! Equipped with palette and brush, she roamed at will through many of the beauty spots of California during the summer just past, drinking in the fragrance of the pine clad mountains, enjoying the tang of mountain air, the beautiful color of valley and stream and re- cording on canvas many of the beauty spots which, all too frequently, defy description. Some of her sketches she shared with us in an exhibit made in one of the art rooms, and those who viewed these bits of striking color and harmony could aught but wish her many more such enjoyable sojourn- ings and happy hours. CLIMATE We shall have weather whether or not, but this old adage so brief and yet true doesn't enlighten as what we may do, for on the twenty-ninth of September, Peoria was bathed in sun- shine while Denver had an unlooked- for, unprecedented, unusual, and un- solicited snow storm. A wet blanket of white covered her streets to a depth of seventeen inches. One item, at least, in favor of Peoria's 1936 climate. MIXER What a mob appeared at the cage in the front of the cafeteria on Octo- ber second! Manuals were out, and students striving to get in-to the first social hour dance. Here could be procured both the weekly paper and tickets to the dance, so readers, danc- ers, would-be dancers, and spectators vied with each other to obtain one or the other and sometimes both of these commodities. The dance was held in the girls' gymnasium directly after school and a new idea adapted from the Bradley Mixer was put into use. With tags bearing such en- lightening names as Joan of Arc, Max Baer, etc., which were issued at the door the formality of introductions was dispensed with, and everyone pro- ceeded to get acquainted. A new so- cial hour orchestra made its initial appearance and was composed of Walter Coughlin, Robert Graham, Donald Jones, Tom Colgan, Wayne Ball, George Byard, Roger Bartel, Dean Barron, Maurice Abbot, James Selkirk, Jack Turner, Bill House, Al- fred Schonz, Robert Nickles, Milton Jensen, Dale Griffith, Carl Roth, and Oscar Wissell under the leadership of Jack Turner. Suffice it to say, a good time was had by all. LINCOLN Preparation for the second foot- ball game with the Big 12 foe, Lin- coln, has been going on uninterrupt- edly every afternoon at the field, bpt enthusiasm on the part of the student body was engendered at a mass meet- ing on Friday, the second. Speakers, cheer leaders, and rooters all blew off steam and with such a display of pep, Look out Lincoln. And it came to pass that on the third day of the tenth month of the year 1936, Lincoln bowed in defeat to an improved Manual team. The final score, 18-0, was no indication of the pluck and spirit exhibited by the Railsplitters who held Manual to a --1-1 ESQ s 5: 1 nv ei'f 32 J N 3 is , .3 .. ., , ,S ,- -if - , .

Though we advanced the ball to within twen- ty yards of the goal line four different times during this period, a determined stand by our opponents frustrated all attempts to cross the line. White and Coleman each scored a touchdown in the second half, and a third by Cole- man was voided on account of a pen- alty. With but a few minutes left to play, Coach Baxter sent in the re- serves, and Oglesby dashed twenty yards around end for the final score. Bill Chinuge and his educated toe gained much yardage on exchange of punts, While Dave Dorrick provided openings in the line for many of the long gains made by his fellow team mates. HONOR ROLLS Woe begone expressions on the faces of the students meant but one thing to those acquainted with stu- dent life. Report cards were out! No great hardship was entailed in prepar- ing the blanks for the honor rolls for fewer names appeared on these lists than for the corresponding month of the preceding year. In all, twenty-six names appeared on the First honor roll which is the distinction accorded stu- dents with four A's and no other grade less than a B. The second honor roll requiring but three A's contained a longer list of names, fifty having such a record. More power to the aspirants for such honorable mention. THE HI-Y No organization in school does more to uphold high ideals and a general moral tone than the Hi-Y Club. Lim- ited to upper classmen and also in membership, new recruits are added if and when vacancies occur. With a nucleus of seven old members and a limitation of twenty, only thirteen applicants were accepted at the begin- ning of the school year. Discussions led by capable men and timely infor- mation imparted by those with exper- ience and conversant with the prob- lems of boys and young men make membership in such an organization not only of value to the individual, but reflects itself in the conduct of the stu- dent body at large. Mr. Nieman, for a number of years has acted as adviser of this organization. Officers for the current year are Robert Myers, Presi- dent, Collins Miller, Vice-President, Merle Dargel, Secretary, and Gordon Toomey, Treasurer. GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS On the seventh, the bulletin board carried an announcement that brought joy to the girls but discontent, scowls, and disapproval to the male members of the student body. But girls are often interested in things incompre- hensible to the average male mind and though jealousy may have been aroused at the seeming slight, yet what may have occurred there was of little interest except to those called. Girls' organizations were discussed and music by the girls' glee club, we are frank to confess, were the features of the day so perhaps, boys will for- give the seeming affront. CLASS ELECTIONS For whom shall I vote? What quali- fications are required and what duties are imposed upon a class president? Of what value is a vice-president? Why have class organization? Who would make a good secretary? These and many other questions arose and were answered at the class meetings called during the first hour on October eighth. And too, an old precedent of a singlh ass adviser was modified and two fac lty members now are sponsor for the ctivities of new organizations. The following class officers were elect- ed: january Seniors, 1937, Marian Miller, president, Virginia Williams, vice-president, Virginia Frasco, secre- tary, Keith West, treasurer, Miss Kroepel, adviser, june Seniors, 1937, Robert Hagerty, president, John Yon- koski, vice-president, Betty Hadank, secretary, Elmore Sieks, treasurer, Miss Helen McClanathan and Mr. George Mason, advisers, january ju- niors, 1938, Kenneth Hirth, president, Jacqueline Weber, vice-president, Shirley Siebel, secretary, Robert Eagleson, treasurer, Mrs. Appelgate, adviser, june juniors, 1938, Robert Baden, president, Robert Graham, vice-president, Nadine Naisen, secre- tary, Josephine Yonkoski, treasurer, Miss Keating and Mr. Atkinson, ad- visers, january Sophomores, 1939, Ruth Lorch, president, Marjorie Man- CContinued on page 60Q 'YH' x X l Marian Miller, Mid-Year Seniorsg Robert Hagerty, June Seniors, Martha Tony, French Clubg Paula Bruninga, German Club.

Rhythm! Comedy! Manual on parade! Sixteen acts appeared on Sixty 15th and 16th in the second annual Manual Revue. A filled house greeted the Hrst performance, and almost as large an audience applauded the ef- forts of the juvenile performers the second night. John Colgan, as master of ceremonies, curtailed the encores and ushered in the acts with prompt- ness and dispatch. Mildred Lee, Le Anne Cone as goofus, the shoe shine boy Charles Van Winkle, and the cupie chorus, consisting of Ellen Cleef, Jane Kemp, Altha Hedger, Bertha Driscoll, Mary Agatucci, and Lois Andrews provided the dance numbers. Variety provided spice to the musical The Cupie chorus The Two Bobs, Myers and Greenbaum e ason we went. Louise and her accordion LeAnne Cone -1-- Sixty-one ---- features. A trio composed of Betty Hadank, Lucille Murray, and Ethel Beimfohr, and soloists, june Gorman, and Marjorie Bledsoe sang of love, romance, and intrigue. Animated fing- ers featured the playing of Louise Shinnefield on her piano accordion, Kenneth Clarke's piano number, and Roger Bartel's performance on his electrical guitar. John Didiuk, the Nebraska cowboy, who wanted to be buried on the lone prairie, almost got his wish as he appeared on the same program with The Sod Busters. Whitie, Bud, and Zeke, otherwise known as Oscar Wissell, Bud Minor, and Maurice Abbott. Johnny Sum- merville's bare knees peeping out from beneath his Scotch kilts looked very uncomfortable and Gottlieb's Sour Sieben Jones, Roth, Coughlin, Colgan, Harms, and Jensen, playing under the leadership of spiel Griffith were never worse. The Rager twins provided the piece de resistance for a mystifying, illusive, disappearing act. Feeling that the foregoing numbers provided too little jovial festivity, the two black Bobs, Greenbaum and Myers, offered themselves as a sacri- fice on the altar of comedy, but the result was tragic. However, with the Manual Swing Band on hand, all was saved, and a repeat performance at Roosevelt High School was immedi- ately ordered, eventually delivered, and most graciously received . MIRROR MASS MEETING MASS MEETING It never rains but it pours and following close on the heels of the revue came the dedication of Manual Field at Krause Avenue and Antoi- nette Street. Streator was to be our opponent on this occasion. Since this was Streatoris first appearance in re- cent years on a Manual gridiron and because the Bulldogs have been so consistently destructive to Manual's hopes in the nocturnal affairs at Strea- tor in past years, much anxiety was felt regarding the outcome of this en- counter. A mass meeting preceded the game. This was provided by the t'Mirror,' staff. With the auditorium in total darkness, there appeared in skeletal form, the spirits of four of Manual's former football teams. Re- viewing their respective contests with the coming opponent and exhorting the team to fight as never before, these spirits then indulged in a clanking, inimitable, grotesque dance before hy- ing themselves back to their ethereal abode. The seed was sown. DEDICATION The day was perfect, the field, superb. Both the east and the west bleachers were crowded to capacity. The band, always an inspiration, never performed so well. About the temporary stand built upon the edge of the playing field sat those who were in a large measure responsible for the equipment and field so soon to HSCAVENGERS Six be dedicated to the use of Manual's youth. The setting was perfection itself. A brief address by Mr. Porter, assistant manager of the Illinois State Athletic Association, who compliment- ed the school and community on the layout of the field and its splendid appointments, preceded the presenta- tion of the field and field house to Mr. Russell by the president of the board, Mr. Robert Juerjens. Mr. Gal- vin, chairman of the athletic commit- tee of the board of education was in charge of the ceremonies, and both Dad Streibich and Dr. B. H. Trewyn who have exhibited so much interest in the school and its affairs appeared before the microphone. A few words from our friend and superintendent, Mr. Fisher, preceded the flag raising ceremonies. This concluded the pro- gram, and the game was on. STREATOR FOOTBALL At the very outset Manual gave evidence of her superiority. The first touchdown resulted from a reverse play when Chinuge took the ball on the left side of the line, reversed his field and scampered over the goal line with not a Streator player laying a hand on him. The second came as a surprise to players and spectators alike. On the next kick-off with the ball deep in Streator's territory, Col- lins Miller intercepted a lateral pass while traveling at full speed and crossed the goal line again without interference of any kind. The final score read Manual 19, Streator 6. Streator's lone tally came in the clos- ing minutes of play as the result of a pass after all attempts at straight football had failed. CROSS COUNTRY During the intermission between halves of the football game, the Man- ual cross country team, composed of Verne Vinson, Leroy Christianson, Jack Garrabrant, Paul Jones, Ed Pur- cell, Roy Garrett, Robert Boland, and Walter Fischer made their initial ap- pearance of the season. Since we have had no team for several years, this newly organized unit made a very creditable showing, Ed Purcell cov- ered the course in the best time with Verne Vinson third, and the others placed in such order that the meet was won by a narrow margin. ty-t WO A field house with dressing rooms and showers, permanent bleachers on the east and portable on the west, a cinder track, beautiful green turf on the playing field, such was Manual's gift from the school board. The band, the pep club, the cheer leaders, a loud speaker system, and hundreds of rib- bon bedecked fans added color to the joyous occasion. The two victories topped it off. So ended a perfect day and one to be long remembered in the annals of Manual's athletic history. BEAUTY SECRETS For the second time during the month a girls' assembly was called and did it bear results? Many for- merly demure, retiring, colorless fig- ures soon blossomed out in glorious and resplendent color after the dem- onstrations by Miss Malek, a Holly- wood-trained cosmetician, as to when, where, and how to apply beauty aids for the best results. No complaints were heard from the left-outers re- garding this assembly. They were too busy scrutinizing the results and try- ing to decide as to the merits of the various brands and hues of rouge and lipstick. Furthermore, permanents, semi-permanents, and waves made their appearance. With such striking attempts at self-adornment we are wondering if or whether any mention was made regarding the aesthetic value of gum-chewing as a means of making oneself attractive. VISITING DAY No school was scheduled for the twenty-third as all teachers were not only invited but requested to visit other school systems where various methods of instruction might be seen. Students too received an invitation, extended through Mr. Russell as emis- sary, not to visit other schools of the city. This was likewise accompanied by a request to observe the wishes of other school principals whose work had often been impaired heretofore by the great number of returning stu- dents on such occasions. BAND FESTIVAL The annual band festival sponsored by Byerly's Music House was held on Yonkoski carries the ball for slight gains. Saturday, October 24. The parade consisted of 34 central Illinois school bands, five of which were from Peoria, and all traffic was stopped for this aggregation of youth as they marched down Main Street resplendent in their multi-colored uniforms. Particularly colorful were the drum majors in their brilliant regalia, each striving to outdo the preceding leader as he goose- stepped along or twirled his glistening baton. The Manual band was led by Lorraine Hoppe, one of the few girl drum majors in the parade, and the band itself, largest in the school's his- tory, made a striking picture as they swung along in orange spats and gold trimmed black broadcloth uniforms. Martial music, glittering instru- ments, waving flags, and the tread of myriad feet caught eye and ear, and a great throng congregated before the courthouse as the 1800 bandsmen assembled for a mass concert. The musical festival was arranged co-inci- dent with the arrival of the United States Navy Band which gave a con- P k was always in the way. cert Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. The Manual band was honored by being selected to play an introductory concert for the Friday evening performance under the baton of the famous navy band leader, Lieu- tenant Charles Benter. PEKIN FOOTBALL The Pekin game this year was played on James Field at Pekin, and the usual crowded condition of the bleachers caused many to stand in order to see the game. And was it a disappointment? The Manual team could seemingly do nothing right and went down in defeat by a score of 19 to 0. Even the ancient Sleeper play was worked to perfection for the sec- ond touchdown of the game. Fumbles and intercepted passes played havoc when Manual was carrying the ball and attempts to stop an inspired, hard driving Pekin team and Ralph Ehni were futile. And so, Pekin was re- turned the victor by the same score which Manual ran up against her in the game last year. This time the line held. l- Sixty-f our --h- Sinqers' SIXTY-FoUR YEARS! Many have been the changes which such a period of time has wrought in the growth and development of the city, in indus- trial development and manufactured product, in methods of conducting busi- ness, and in training therefor. Louis Singer first entered the jewelry business as an apprentice under the guidance of Fred Eynatten in 1873 at 307 Main Street. No horology schools were then in existence to train for the jewelry and watch- making trades. Watches were expensive and obtainable only in large sizes. No such things as electrical clocks or other electrical appliances, so common today, had even been conceived. With Truman Younglove, Louis Singer formed a partnership in 1902, and a business which was to endure to the present day was begun. For more than three decades this business has been conducted in the same vicinity. The first store was located in a small frame structure located at 407 Main Street but was removed, in 1910, to 420 Main Street, its present location. In 1924 this establishment became known as the t'Singer Jewelry Co. Two sons, Charles and Robert, followed in their father's footsteps and in 1935 took over the active management. Reliable workmanship and quality merchandise have ever been their aim. Here one may find Hamilton, Gruen, Elgin, and Bulova watches, Seth Thomas and Telechron clocks, toilet sets, sterling and plated silverware, and a variety of electrical appliances. Ten years ago, with the cooperation of the Manual art department, class rings were standardized and bear not only the insignia of the school and the class numerals but also a replica of the tower entrance as well. Singers, have furnished these, in addition to class pins, to Manual graduates annually. To the graduates of 1937, Singers' extend congratulations with the hopes that the same amicable relationships of the past may be continued into the future. 'Hia 1? As, 7 f :n,f E34 N. Z!

Some party! Sixty-five ---- November NAVY DAY OCTOBER 27, an assembly was held to celebrate Navy Day. This day also marked the anniversary of Theodore Rooseve1t's birth. The speaker was Mr. C. L. Ashley. In his address he told the history of our navy and stressed its importance in preserving peace. With thousands of miles of coast line the United States is forced to maintain a sizeable navy as a means of self-protection, for this is her first line of defense. Theodore Roosevelt was an ardent advocate of an efficient and able navy and was the first to display it to the world, sending it on long cruises to foreign harbors and ports. GERMANY Two German movies were shown in an interesting assembly on October 28. One Film showed the processes of making and testing harmonicas, as well as the general use of this instru- ment throughout the country. The second gave an account in detail of a Hessian wedding. Such clothing and such ceremony! It was all very colorful but when the bride ascended by means of a ladder to the top of a pile of furniture and bedding piled high on a two-wheel cart, preparatory to embarking on the journey to her new home, it was unanimously agreed that a flivver or a streamlined coach was a much better vehicle for a wed- ding trip. IN TRAMURAL BOWLING Bowling teams were organized Oc- tober 29g there were ten boys' teams and four girls' teams. Each team consisted of four students and one faculty member. To those of you who are always looking for real en- joyment you should not have failed to see those advisers unlimber. There were Adamson's Bugs, Haddick's T- Squares, Harris' Pencil Pushers, Thomas' Test Tubes, Hal1's Book Worms, Landers' Salesmen, Pratt's Historians, Hilling's Ledgers, Hard- ing's Hedgehogs, and Atkinson's Woodbusters. No wonder such good scores came from teams so appropri- ately and wisely named. From these intramural teams high scorers were chosen to represent the school in city competition, this series of regularly scheduled games was rolled on Fri- day, while the intramural games were held on Thursday. The city m-atches last year were won by Manualg it was the first such competition in the history of the school and sport. As in the past, five cents per game is chargedg such an arrangement was made for all high school students with Mr. Grawey, proprietor of the Peoria Auto Parts Alleys. GALESBURG FOOTBALL Her goal line threatened on three different occasions in the f1rst half, Manual's forward wall stiffened and three distinct threats of a determined Galesburg team were warded off. They were not to be denied. Recov- ering a fumbled ball on the ten-yard line and failing on three successive line plays, Berry passed to Lundeen and then Galesburg scored. With the score against them Manual went to work. Soon her passes began to click, and the ball was carried to the twenty-yard line. Here Chinuge passed to White. As he was about to be tackled, White lateraled to Yon- koski, and Yonkoski crossed the goal line standing up. Chinuge then skirted his right end for the extra point. The third quarter was score- less. In the fourth quarter a march that placed the ball on Galesburg's ten-yard line paved the Way for a pass to Toomey which assured a Manual victory. NATIONAL ELECTION How glad we are national elec- tions are held but once in four years. We favor longer terms. What and whom to believe? We are beset on all sides by propaganda, suave poli- ticians, and political mud-slinging. Magazine and newspaper articles are colored by the viewpoint and align- ment of editors or owners. Our heads swim! Our thinking goes haywire! There are polls and more polls, then disillusionment. And November 3, 1936, will go down in history as a sweeping victory for the Democratic party.

On November 5, two assemblies were called where Mr. Reynolds, Crowell representative, outlined plans for this year's campaign. The drive was con- ducted through all first-hour classes and lasted for a week. Magazines in- cluded were, 'The American, Wom- an's Home Companion, Colliers, and The Country Home. Manual re- ceived 5Of?? of the gross sales. Be- sides this benefit to the school, prizes were offered to the individual sales- men and those who turned in two sub- scriptions or more were given awards. The campaign ended with an increase in the number of subscriptions, and Manual's profits exceeded last year's by one hundred dollars. Freda Wer- ner, high salesman at Manual last year and second highest in the United States, again was high salesman this yearg she secured ninety subscriptions, an increase of thirty-seven over last year. She will doubtlessly rank high in the national contest again this year. 'nf' YE EDS TO CHAMPAIGN On November 5, two members of the Mirror staff, Emma McCawley, editor, and Mildred Michaelis, asso- ciate editor, traveled to the University of Illinois to attend the sixteenth an- nual Illinois High School Press Con- ference. They spent the week-end viewing yearbooks and attending lectures and round table discussions relative to various phases of yearbook construction. This conference was held in con- junction with the regular high school conference which is held at the uni- versity annually in November. As all teachers are required to be in at- tendance, school was dismissed on the sixth. Aside from the meetings many ex- hibits of work of various high schools throughout the state were on display and here we found, to our surprise, an art exhibit from Peoria which in- en l cluded sketches for the Big 12 made in our own art room, some of John Colgan's cartoons, and some splendid all-over patterns and designs also from our school. CANTON FOOTBALL Canton's football team was out- played in every branch of the game when Manual defeated them by a score of 13 to 0. A line plunge by White and a quarterback sneak by Kenning were the plays which scored the touchdowns, while a pass, Ken- ning to White, accounted for the thir- teenth marker. On two other occa- sions Manual threatened, but pen- alties and time prevented further scores. Manual made nine first downs to Canton's five, and Coach Holliday's boys went down to defeat. CONFERENCE OF DEANS The seventeenth annual Confer- ence of Deans was held at the Pere Marquette Hotel November 6 and 7, and was presided over by Miss Eliza- beth B. Oakes of Proviso Township High School of Maywood, Illinois. Miss Gertrude Reinhard of Manual was chairman of the committee on arrangements. Teachers of Roosevelt Junior High School, teachers of Manual, and the vocal ensemble of Manual did much to make the conference a success. At the close of the conference the Vis- iting delegates made a tour of the city ending with tea at Bradley Col- lege. Approximately 100 delegates were in attendance. TELEPHONES This year on Monday, November 9, as in former years, the telephone company presented two educational moving pictures illustrating how the telephone aids in the solution of va- rious problems and reduces distance. This, the greatest means of communi- cation in the world, was invented in 1871 by Alexander Graham Bell. In the pictures were shown the concep- tion, development, and installation of the telephone as well as the necessity of unusual and necessary maintenance of telephone lines of communication in all kinds of weather and under all conditions.

Coach Atkinson's boys suffered defeat, this occurrence took all the fight and ag- gressiveness out of a hitherto up-and- coming aggregation. MARGARET WELLS WOODS Manual was again fortunate this year in securing Margaret Wells Woods of the Social Hygiene Associa- tion to speak to Manual students in assembly. Manual's own A Cappella Choir made its first appearance of the school year and rendered a group of lovely selections. Following, Mrs. Woods gave a splendid talk in which she said Teach students how to live! The greatest thrill she receives from her work and the most important, as she relates it, is in giving advice to young men and women toward a better preparation for parenthood. Mrs. Woods, daughter of a poor factory worker, was born in Bridge- port, Connecticut. She attended Mt. Holyoke College where she majored in biology. Upon being graduated she began social research work at Bryn Mawr. She married the princi- pal of a Connecticut normal school and three years later lost both her husband and her small child. She lived alone, thereafter, until the death of a sister who left five children in her care, From the rearing of these, she has learned the fundamentals needed for happy home life and has traveled extensively making the teach- ing of social hygiene her life work. ARMISTICE Wednesday, November 11, Armist- ice Day, was celebrated throughout the nation in honor of the boys who died for their country during the World War. School was dismissed. On the preceding day Manual re- called the sacrifices of her boys who had so willingly given their all. A huge bouquet of chrysanthemums to- gether with the American Flag graced the center of the stage illuminated by a spotlight. Doors were opened wide that everyone might observe. At the close of the day, as has be- come customary throughout these years since the World War, the How- ers were sent to the mother of one of the boys who sacrificed his life in his country's service. Of such Man- ual had five. JUNIOR-SENIOR FOOTBALL The junior-senior football scrap was played at Manual field on Armistice Day. Ralph White's seniors and Ber- nie Coleman's juniors included many boys who had learned the funda- mentals of football in their workouts under the various coaches and pre- sented a very respectable game for the few spectators who appeared to root for their favorites. Fumbles were surprisingly scarce, and tackling was hard and sure, no casualties re- sulted. While the seniors proved their superiority by a single touch- down and rejoiced over the victory, the juniors were still unconvinced and inclined to call the victory a fluke. TEA Miss Reinhard's art classes on Thursday, November 12, served tea to a very distinguished guest in the person of Miss Lester, supervisor of art in Peoria's schools. Miss Lester talked to the art classes on historic costume and showed the students plates which were to illustrate her book bearing this title. Tea was then served. FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH Friday, the thirteenth, not only brought a tendency to be superstitious, but also one of the biggest mass meetings of the year, the pep meet- ing for the Manual-Spalding game which was to be played the follow- ing day. The program was in charge of the Student Council. Bernard Hoffman, our illustrious mayor, was master of ceremonies. After the band had played The Manual Marching Song talks were given by Miss Hazel Wolf, Coach Baxter, Russel Johnson and Manual's football captain, Ralph White. Then followed a new de- K Continued on page 742 Seventy-one PAGE 70 Left to Right : Who? What? or Why? Naisen Heimeshoti' Knebel Stammerjohn Freda Werner, Winner, Subscription Campaign. In reserve.

Who should appear on the stage but Bob Living- ston, pinch hitting for Captain Lar- kin of the Spalding team, our oppon- ent of the morrow. CSimilarly, our own football captain had appeared at their pep meetingj. Following these talks cheers were led by our own Clarence Linsley, his coterie of assistants, Betty Stammerjohn and Nadine Naisen of the Girls' Athletic Association, and that peerless of cheer leaders, Mr. Harris, now a member of our faculty. THE SPALDING GAME Reverses, double reverses, and the potent triple reverse figured in the downfall of Spalding, November 14. Splendid interference, accurate ball handling, and a blocked punt on the part of Manual netted two touch- downs, and a pass, Yonkoski to Chi- nuge, was good for an extra point. Late in the last quarter Spalding passes paved the way for a touch- down. Spalding completed nine out of eighteen attempts. Manual, how- ever, had an edge of 125 to 98 yards from rushing, but first downs were evenly divided. Ralph White was a thorn in Spalding's side and continu- ally broke up plays or threw the ball carrier for a loss. The score was 13 to 6. COLOR Arrayed in a new satin suit of Ham- ing orange, Clarence Linsley rivals the sun in brilliance. Two other suits of black satin trimmed with orange make a trio conspicuous in any crowd and out in front of the bleachers with orange megaphones and a lot of pep, our cheer leaders organized and led the Manual sup- porters in many a Fight, Manual, Fight and Triple M. Manual rooters are good sportsmen. We have pep a plenty. With capable leaders and the fighting spirit of Manual teams, Manual has a combination that is hard to beat. We admit it. VESPERS On Sunday, November 15, the A Cappella Choir made its first public appearance at a vesper service held in Westminster Church. The chorus sang a group of four selections includ- ing Listen to the Lambsv by Dett, f'Dark Water by Noble Cain, a spe- cial arrangement of 'tAnnie Laurie, and the HCradle Song by Ries. Warmick brings him down. --1 Seventy-five ii- PICTURES We have our pictures took. Class pictures for the Mirror were taken in groups, alphabetically arranged, on Tuesday and Wed- nesday, November 17 and 18. Clubs and other organizations were also photographed at this time. Prompt- ness on the part of students in enter- ing the auditorium, and their willing- ness to cooperate in every way made this task easier for those in charge. We parked our gum, looked our best, and lo the result! Three full days and the schedule was completed as planned and with a minimum of in- convenience to teachers and class- room work. SENIOR PARTY Friday, November 20, was a big night. The Senior Class had their long-waited, long-planned-for party which turned out to be all that was anticipated and a tremendous success. Dancing to Chuck Tursam's Orchestra in the girls' gymnasium formed the major entertainment. Margie Burling and Joe Wierschem both sang and danced much to the delight of their audience. To add to the merriment and confusion balloons and confetti were provided and served well their purpose. The closing hour came all too soon, but a good time was had by all, say the seniors. Mr. Hardin at Lake Shawona joe sets the styles Our Mayor, Bernard Hoffman Charley Winkelmeyer Nieman's Minnesota squirrels Bodtke in his OH hoursf -l Seventy s 1 Pykes MR. CHARLES L. PYKE as a young man was very much interested in the field of art. His early training was received under the tutelage of a painter and artist photographer by name of Sawtell in the city of Cincinnati. Through this connection he became aware of the possibilities of photography as a means of artistic expression. Opportunity came to him in the field of reproduction, and for a number of years he engaged in the engraving business. This, however, did not provide an adequate outlet for the creative impulse which stirred within him, so he left Ohio and accepted a position as camera man for the Townsend studio in Lincoln, Nebraskag he later had the same connection with their studios in Des Moines, Iowa. In 1918 he came to Peoria and opened a studio at 116 South Jefferson Street where he remained until his death eight years ago. Here he endeared himself to his many friends and patrons and built a reputation for honesty and satisfaction in all of his transactions. Recognized in his profession as one of superior attain- ment, he was frequently called upon to serve as judge of exhibits at national photographer's conventions and to demonstrate various phases of studio work. He was a member of the Camera Craftsmen of America. Since his death, Mrs. Pyke, the only woman so honored, was made a member of this organization. She with her daughter, Martha, continues to operate the studio, which since 1932 has been located at 116 South Adams Street. Martha Pyke, inheriting her fatheris artistic temperament, has developed her talents through intensive study and has displayed her work and demon- strated both oil paintings and miniatures at national conventions and before the Southern Art League of Illinois. All color work is the product of her hands, and though this entails endless hours in the color room, she still finds some time to teach the art of painting. Mrs. Pyke does much of the retouching, and the business has grown under her management. Both Mrs. Pyke and Martha Pyke are members of the faculty of the National School of Photography which meets annually, in August at Winona Lake, Indianag Martha Pyke has charge of the color department, and Mrs. Pyke's efforts are confined to retouching. For a number of years the Pyke studio has served as photographer for the senior class of Manual High School as well as other schools in the vicinity, and the individual pictures in this annual, as well as the class groups, are the product of this studio. To the Manual Seniors of 1937, Pykes offer congratulations with the sincere wish that the future brings naught but happiness and success. iw 21 - . t W v V Y . '. ,,. 45' I Q ,, .

December THE school month of Decem- ber began on Monday preceding the Thanksgiving vacation, November 23. The eagerness for the vacation that this season brings, anticipation of the annual football classic with Central, and a willingness to share with others the prosperity and material things which we ourselves enjoy made this week one of mingled emotions. THE MANUAL Today, November 25, t'The Man- ual came out in a new dress and increased in size. Orange paper and black-faced type with a large cut showing the coaches and captains of the two teams on the front page made an attractive and interesting variation in the usual make-up of the paper. Its eight pages contained many items of interest concerning past records. the players, and even predictions of what might and should happen. MANUAL STAFF Back Row-G. Mangis, R. Baden, M. Richter, B.

Forty baskets were assembled and distributed by the Council. The baskets contained not only fresh vegetables, bread, butter, and canned goods but also other sta- ples and meat. These were delivered on Wednesday afternoon, and many were the words of appreciation for the thoughtfulness a n d s p i r i t which prompted this worthy deed. PEP The school hours were shortened on Wednesday to provide time for the mass-meeting which always precedes the Thanksgiving football game. The Pep club made arrangements for this steam-producer, and Mr. Cahail my ru Q ---- - acted as master of ceremonies. The gymnasium was crowded with stu- dents and many graduates who al- ways appear on this occasion. We learned of the early rivalry of Man- ual and Central through Mr. James Dillon, captain of the team of 1910, what the public expected of us from our old ally and friend Dad Streibich, and from Mr. Fisher that the oft- heard statement HI will if I can was never so true as when stated, HI can if I will. Mr. Robert Juerjens of the board of education felt that the presi- dent must be impartial in his relation with both schools. The band added much to the occa- sion. Good sportsmanship was shown when Schwenger, the captain of the Central team, and Coach Herke both appeared on the program and when the young sons of Mr. Baxter and Mr. Herke trotted out onto the floor in football regalia and kicked souvenir THE VARSITY Back Row7Coleman.

Mr. Russel Johnson, former Manualite, whose interests in Manual are unaffected even by his membership on the board of educa- tion, ably demonstrated that interest when he doffed his coat, rolled up his sleeves and led some cheers. Such enthusiasm, such spirit had not been shown since the corresponding event of last year. With last year's loss as an added incentive and with a fight- ing team and good support Manual's hopes ran high for a victory on Thursday. THE GAME The day was blustery, and a raw wind swept the field but snow suits, blankets, stocking caps, and heavy apparel of all kinds kept the usual overflow crowd in place until the final results of the game were known. This did not occur until the last quarter ended. Sparkling end runs, well plac- ed kicks, good blocking, and hard tack- ling offset the loose play and fumbles, which were caused by numb lingers. The Manual bleachers were moved to Bradley field, but even this addition to the seating capacity was inadequate for the 7,000 fans that braved the cold to witness the contest. With the game but two minutes old Chinuge made a high 55-yard punt which was taken by Johnson on his ten-yard line and ad- vanced to the 32-yard line. Here a penalty for clipping put the ball back Central gains five lhrough the center ot' the line. E THE RESERVES ack Row D.

The Maroons found them- selves on the one-yard line and hur- ried to kick out of danger. Manual took the kick and advanced the ball to the nineteen-yard line where two plays picked up the same number of yards. Chinuge broke through right tackle on the next play and scored a touchdown. On the play for the extra point no receiver could be found, and the ball was grounded. Central scored a few minutes later when johnson after a long run placed the ball on Manual's 10-yard line. Two plays were called, and Central tied the score. Sauers kick was wide. No fur- ther scores were made, passing was erratic and fumbles, frequent. The tie game, however, gave Manual a clear title to the city championship since all previous games were won. ALL-CITY The all-city prep football team, a mythical organization chosen by local fans, consisted of 4 Nlanual, 3 Central, and 2 Spalding players with East Peoria and Kingman each secur- ing one position. Louis Grant, center, Walter Warmick, right end, William Chinuge, right half, and Ralph White, fullback were the Manual boys chos- en. The second team selection includ- ed the names of Walter Eisele and Dave Dorick of Manual.

Sophomore Football PLAYING a regular schedule of games, sophomore boys are taught the fundamentals of football and given experience which enables them to make a bid for a berth on the varsity team later. Candidates are usually more plentiful than equipment, and the competition is as eagerly awaited as the more colorful and publicized games of the regulars. The 1936 team was no exception. Coach Atkinson's boys played eight games and acquired a knowledge of the game that could be obtained in no way other than in service. THE RECORD Sept. 26 Manual Sophs. . 0-Pekin Sophs ..... . . .

A capable student, a devoted friend, a loving companion, Joyce will linger long in the memories of her friends, and her example as one de- voted to high ideals and Christian character will not have been in vain. AFRICA Channing Beebe, lecturer and trav- eler, appeared at Manual on the first of a series of programs purchased by the Student Council from the Mid- west Assemblies Bureau. Our trip with him into Africa was made the more realistic by means of moving pictures, his descriptions were vividly drawn and his material presented in a very pleasing manner. DETROIT On Thursday ten representatives and the adviser of The Manual staff embarked by bus for Detroit and the National Scholastic Press Association. Round table discussions, sight seeing trips, and an address by Christopher Morley, novelist and critic, made up a program for the two days spent in the automobile city. Encountering ad- verse weather conditions on the return trip, the delegates arrived home late Sunday morning having spent sixteen hours on the road. Tired but happy, they were thankful for the wonderful time they had experienced and for a safe return. Those who made the trip were Gertrude Schaal, Yvonne Rep- pel, Mearle McBride, Velma Peter- son, Marjorie Moore, Minnie Lou Rogers, Walter Krefting, Richard Bodtke, Ralph Deatherage, Gene Mangis, and Miss Miller. CHRISTMAS SEALS The sale of Christmas seals was begun on the seventh of December. These seals were distributed through the various home rooms in order that as many as possible should aid in this undertaking. The sale in Peoria is handled almost exclusively by school children, and grade schools particular- ly vie for honors in the total amount of sales. With a large part of such sales directly applied to the eradication of the dread disease of tuberculosis in our own midst, response to the appeal was immediate and generous. Manual students contributed S85 to the fund through such sales and purchases. L DOUBLE ASSEMBLY Occasionally, even in the best reg- ulated families, understandings must be had and it became necessary, or so it seemed, to call attention to things which could only be corrected or changed with the cooperation Qf all. Mr. Russell, head of the Manual fam- ily, in a heart-to-heart talk sought this cooperation but likewise made clear the things which were expected. These suggestions we readily recall: The common courtesies Use of the cafeteria Boisterous conduct Our neighbors Our reputation. BASKETBALL The opening game of the season was a tilt with Lincoln at Lincoln. Lincoln had played and won three previous games, but Manual showed enough defensive power to hold the score down, though she was unable to connect with any regularity. Trailing at the half 9 to 7, Lincoln put on a spirited drive, in the third quarter which netted eight points and enabled her to take the lead. The advantage gained was maintained through the last period, and the final score was Lincoln 19, Manual 17. MAGICIAN The Manual Staff secured the serv- ices of Mr. Edward M. Reno of Strea- tor, a magician, for an entertainment on Thursday the fifteenth. This was scheduled for the second hour, but due to an unavoidable delay he was unable to keep his appointment, and the program was changed to 2:15. His was a varied repertoire. Vanish- ing tricks with cards, pigeons, and other articles held us spellbound and aroused our curiosity. He grew flow- ers under our very eyes, produced bowls of water under a handkerchief, drew forth a rabbit from a derby hat, and even made monkeys out of the '13 Christmas Carols. English Waits.

W -- Eighty-seven two boys fnames withheldj who vol- unteered their services as helpers. We have since seen some of the stage crew trying to throw cards into the balcony but with less success than he had. Knowing full well that deception plays a major part in the apparent accomplishment of such feats, but likewise recognizing the fact that dex- terity and skill are also required to make such deception complete, we enjoyed this program immensely. PING PONG On November 13 started the G.A.A. girls' ping pong tournaments which lasted until December 16. Winners of the double ping pong tournament were Jacqueline Weber and Bernice Browning. MUSICAL The fourth a n n u a l Teacher's Christmas Program, was held at Cen- tral High School Thursday evening. Part one included a group of vocal and instrumental numbers. The cho- rus which appeared in the former in- cluded Mr. Harding and Mr. Bodine of Manual as well as some former members of the A Capella Choir. The instrumental ensemble consisting of Peoria's own musical directors, Messrs. Bradley, Huber, Fortenbach, and Woodman, played three selec- tions. Part two was a pageant, Christmas Music of Many Lands, Miss Evans presented a group of students dressed in Italian costume, and Manual like- wise furnished the players for the English Waits. This trio of young folk was composed of Tom Colgan, clarinet, Bernice Fennell, violin, and Oscar Wissell, string base. FOOTBALL BANQUET On Thursday, December 17, the Manual Alumni Association held a banquet in honor of the 1936 football team, which won city honors. Turkey and trimmings, motion pictures, and speeches were all in order. The cafe- teria was decorated in honor of the occasion, and the tables were re- arranged to facilitate the use of the moving picture projector. The foot- ball boys voted for a new captain and also the most valuable player of the past season. These were announced as Bud Ammerman, captain elect for 1937, and Dave Dorick, a guard, most valuable to his team mates during 1936. Coach Dana Blb1e's Funda- mentals of Football were shown in rapid action and slow motion and ex- plained by that mentor as the pic- tures were displayed. We were in- formed when and how to kick, how to chuck or take out an opponent, how to delay an opposing player, how to re- ceive a pass and how to throw a pass. We were given an explanation of the various positions, different formations, and other interesting tips on football as it should be played. Afterwards snatches of the dedication day pro- gram and a view of the crowd in color, photographed by Mr. H. V. Porter, were shown, and the boys strained their eyes in an effort to locate Mary, Susie, or Jane. MOVIE The Hi-Y gave a movie, 'fLost in the Stratosphere, on Friday. A love tri- angle, a balloon fiight, a stuck valve, impending disaster, an open para- chute, a crash, a hospital bed, and a happy ending all figured in the se- quence of events unfurled on the screen, and was Walt Lundholm thrilled? Q TWO VICTORIES In her first basketball encounter with East Peoria, a team which more than once has wrecked Manual's hopes in tournament play, Manual came away victorious, 18-11. This was East Peoria's first defeat of the season. The following night Manual was likewise successful against Feit- shanis High School of Springfield. With the team in front 20 to 9 at the half, Coach Baxter made some substitutions, then the barrage began. In quick order long shots accounted for eight points, and rapidly cutting down the lead Feitshan's came within two points of tieing the score. The regulars came back and staging a drive of their own in the last three minutes put the score well out of reach of the Springfield lads. The score board read Manual 28, Feitshans 20. i Eighty-eight 1- Bradley ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1936, Bradley college observed her fortieth founder's day in honor of the foresightedness and generosity of Lydia Moss Bradley. After the untimely death of her husband, Tobias Bradley, in 1867, Mrs. Bradley displayed unusual ability and was eminently successful in carrying out the business policies formulated by this leader in Peoria's financial and civic affairs. Bradley Polytechnic Institute was first conceived as an institution wherein the manual arts should play an important part. Before the school was opened, however, Mrs. Bradley's plans had grown to include four years of academic work similar to the high school and two years of college work. Twenty-six acres of land were dedicated toward this end, and provisions were made for opening such an institution. On April 10, 1897, Bradley Hall and the Horology building were begun, and the first classes were held in October. William R. Harper, President of the University of Chicago, was the adviser of Mrs. Bradley in this undertaking and to the time of his death showed an untiring interest in the welfare of the new school. Particularly fortunate was the selection of the first director, Mr. Edward O. Sisson, and a capable faculty. One hundred twenty students constituted the first enrollment. The first com- mencement was held on June 28, 1898, and justification of the investment was indicated by increased enrollments in the succeeding years. Mrs. Bradley did not live to see the full realization of her dream, but ample provision had been made upon her death, which occurred in 1908, for the carry- ing on of her plans. Accordingly, the gymnasium was built later that year, and after three years, two factory buildings, bordering on the campus, were acquired and remodeled to house the rapidly expanding manual arts department. By 1915, the B,S. degree was conferred in both manual training and domestic science, and consideration was given to extending the regular college work beyond the two years previously given. Then came the war. Bradley offered its services to the government in the training of soldiers along industrial lines, this work, together with military training was carried on parallel to the regular collegiate work for special groups of men who received intensive training for a period of sixty days. In J une, 1920, the College of Music became an integral part of Bradley, and plans for four year courses throughout the college were adopted. Work in the Academy was discontinued at the end of the school year, 1922, and the A.B. degree was conferred for the first time. Two years later, the North Central Association of secondary schools and colleges voted to admit Bradley as an approved college of the first rank. Her prestige grew, and one year later, further recognition came in the ofiicial action of the American Association of University Women. ' Now, in 1936, with ever increasing enrollments, an efficient faculty, and advantages equal to or superior to those of any of her contemporaries, she merits well the investigation of those seeking higher education. To those who seek teacher training in domestic science or the industrial arts, to those who desire development of traits or abilities in the fine art's field, to those who plan to lay a foundation for a medical, law, or engineering profession, to those who choose the intricacies of trade and commerceg or to those who seek only the cultural advantages of a college life, Bradley offers many advantages. With a democratic spirit unexcelled in the Midwest, with courses designed to fit the needs of diversified pursuits and a complex civilization, and with a rating which guarantees full credit for all work taken upon transfer from the institution, Bradley welcomes you to her campus and her activities.

The Literary Club had a meeting and a Christmas program on Thurs- day after school in the music room and entertained those members of the faculty who cared to attend and who accepted their invitation to be present. The room was lighted with candles, and a fir tree, its needles glistening under the many colored lights, created a real Christmas atmos- phere. The program was in charge of Thelma Connolly, and Bernice Fen- nell furnished the music. Refresh- ments followed. The spirit of Christmas was like- wise carried out at an assembly on Friday with this same organiza- tion in charge. Patricia Gulick, as narrator, recited the story of the Christ Child as told by Lew Wallace in his book Ben Hur. Tableaux de- picted various scenes as the narration progressed, and the chorus provided appropriate music for the occasion. CAROLS During the sixth hour the halls were filled with the voices of members of the chorus as they sang the carols which have become so much a part of the Yuletide season. All class- room doors were opened, and listening ears caught the first audible strains. They became louder as the singer ap- proached and then diminished as they passed to more remote portions of the building. To conclude a day filled with real Christmas spirit a group of these singers entertained the old people at both Proctor and Beuhler homes, then they stopped for a greeting at the home of Mr. Fisher on Maplewood. STREATOR BASKETBALL Manual met defeat at the hands of Streator in basketball at their first meeting of the year on the Roosevelt court. At the half Manual had a slim margin of one point and increased this margin till the score read 17 to 13. The third quarter ended, how- ever, 22 to 19, after a spurt that put Streator out in front. The final quar- ter was one of speed and plenty of thrills as Manual strove for the win- ning points. Circling the rim, in and out, the ball seemed possessed, and many shots, that should have turned the defeat into a victory, brought only groans from the spectators, as they missed. Free throws also were con- sistently missedg only three were reg- istered during the game, and Streator bagged an even dozen field goals while Manual was securing ten. VACATION School was dismissed on Thursday the 24th, and the voices of students and faculty alike were upraised in farewell salutations of Merry Christ- mas and a Happy New Year. Ten whole days of unrestrained joy! Few teachers had the heart to make assign- ments of home work at such a sea- son. Few books accompanied their owners to their homes to taunt and tantalize them for this was indeed a season of gaiety and mirth, and the routine of daily tasks was ex- changed for one of expectant unal- loyed pleasure. PONTIAC TOURNAMENT Fortunate indeed were the basket- ball boys who accompanied Coach Baxter to Pontiac to play in the in- vitational tournament during the holidays. Here some of the best basketball teams in the state were to meet and though no motive other than to gain experience prompted the entry, all were delighted to learn of the team's success against Fairbury and Rock Island in the two opening rounds. The Fairbury team with an elongated 225-pound center, 6 feet 5 inches in height, forced the Manual boys into a hectic double overtime period before the Manual team emer- ged a winner. The score was 26 to 23. The Rock Island game was also one of wavering lead, but as the final whistle blew Manual was on the long end of a 24-21 count. Advancing into the semi-finals, Manual was pitted against Centralia who was suc- cessful in this game, 42 to 28. In the consolation with Canton, who had likewise tasted defeat, Manual was nosed out, 31 to 25. Proviso of May- wood defeated Centralia for the hon- ors. Though defeated, the thing Manual sought had been achieved and added experience predicted bet- ter team play when the regular sched- ule was resumed in the new year. Bill Chinuge was named third in a list of twelve outstanding players of the tournament. After the Christmas vacation class sessions were resumed on January 4. Though vacations are usually thought of as a time for rest, many haggard faces could be seen on that day, and need for sleep was apparent. FOOTBALL AWARDS In a special assembly the football boys who had earned a letter by hard work and consistent play received their awards from the coach. At the same time the Student Council pre- sented each of the boys with a gold football, symbolic of their city-cham- pionship in this sport. Letter winners were: Dudley, Dorick, Maroon, Am- merman, Teufel, Arnholt, Toomey, W. Warmick, W. Chinuge, Coleman, White, Thomas, Eisele, Franks, Grant, Kenning, Yonkoski, Matalon, and C. Miller. The sophomores, too, played a regu- lar schedule of games and boys from this team received recognition of their work on the gridiron at this same session. From this group future mem- bers of the regulars will be recruited. Boys who received the insignia and numerals included: Russell Wend- land, Andrew Warmick, Ernest Stiar- Walt, Emmet Dimon, Leon Bulman, Steve Miller, Wilbert Walraven, John Jolly, Leo Chinuge, George Polson, Joe Polson, Ralph Schmidt, John Al- len, Rossi Cassella, Walter Sering, Byron Helms, William Lane, and Robert Molek. PEKIN 22-MANUAL 19 Defeat at the hands of our old rival, Pekin, in a contest played at the Roosevelt gymnasium was a bitter Ninety dose. The second quarter of the game was all Pekin's as they went on a scor- ing spree and annexed thirteen points. Little scoring was done in the third quarter, but the orangemen waited too long and a bombardment in the last quarter left Manual still trailing, 22 to 19, when the gun sounded. SENIOR BOYS' MINSTREL The Senior Boys, Minstrel, an an- nual affair at Manual, was presented on the evening of January 8 in the school auditorium. This was a color- ful affair. Gentlemen of color oc- cupied the front row with clothes of various hues, styles, and state of de- composition. The chorus, dressed in white jackets, sans makeup, was ar- ranged in a giddy circle directly be- hind the colored brethren, while John Colgan, the interlocutor, nattily at- tired in a dress suit occupied a chair in the center. A swing orchestra swung Snowball Meyers onto the stage from the flies exactly as called for by his place on the program. Hilar- ity and rhythm marked the offering, and the audience was regaled with the sort of entertainment, which they have come to expect from a senior boys' production. End men were George Roger, Lawrence Jacobs, Lo- ren Frazee, Robert Jeffery, Merle Dargel, Walter Linsley, Robert Mey- ers, and Robert Greenbaum. MEXICO The Spanish Club held their regu- lar meeting on Wednesday, January 13, the program being in charge of Lucille Moore and Nancy Browning. Realia furnished by Mrs. E. V. Waldo proved interesting indeed and con- sisted of ponchos, photographs, and other articles purchased in that coun- try lying just across our southern border. Mr. and Mrs. Waldo, who are now on another world cruise, like- wise furnished many incidents of life and adventure in Mexico as related by Miss Browning. The program was concluded with Spanish songs, Evelyn Cameron played the accom- paniment on the piano. SNOW Mexico makes one think of long shadows, brilliant sunshine, balconies, embroidery, lace, strumming guitars, and whirling dancers, but snow was on the schedule for Peoria on the fourteenth. The thermometer dropped rapidly during the day, and when school was dismissed many cars re- fused to start. This proved an oppor- tunity for Mr. Dieken to do his daily good turn. Upon seeing Miss Wes- cott having difficulty starting her car he offered his servicesg he managed to get it away from the curb and in a couple of blocks the engine took hold. Mr. Dieken had added another star to the galaxy which will adorn his crown. TWO CITY GAMES WON In a rough game featuring little of the smooth team play that has been exhibited in some of the late con- tests Manual downed her old rival from the bluff by a five-point margin. SENIOR BOYS MINSTRELS Identify them yourself. We can't. Two Central players as well as Ber- nie Coleman left the game via the four personal route. Grant and Chi- nuge were the high scorers for Man- ual, and Central found difficulty in penetrating the orange defenseg most of her markers were made from out on the floor. This with the victory of Tuesday when the Irish of Spalding were turned aside put Manual in the lead for the city championship with two victories and no defeats in this series of games. The Spalding game was won by a score of 19-125 Central was downed by a score of 23-18. FIRST BOWLING The Manual bowling team opened its city competition on Friday, Jan- uary 15 when it met Spalding. Spald- ing it was who forced the Manual i- Ninety-two ---- team to three roll-offs last season be- fore the championship could be de- cided. Paced by a No. 1 team which cracked an all-time high of 908 pins Peoria Manual showed evidence of having another combination of bowl- ers who would contest any attempt to wrest her laurels from her. With two teams rolling as a unit three games were won out of four. Virgil Thomas rolled the high game with 213 pins, and was likewise high for the series. EXAMS Friday, January 15, examinations for the end of the first semester be- gan. One examination was held daily during the regular class period the first hour on Friday, second on Mon- day, and so on throughout the week. Sixth hour exams occurred on the following Friday morning. Pupils who were exempt from the finals were admitted to the auditorium where a series of programs were scheduled for their entertainment. A play by one of the speech classes, a band concert, and one of the Coun- cil-sponsored programs Off the Beat- en Path, a travelogue by Mr. Clar- ence Sorenson, world traveler, ex- plorer, and hunter, were among the presentations. ALBERT TANGORA Mr. Albert Tangora, five times a national champion typist, exhibited his wares to the stenographic students at Manual on the fifteenth. Speed! Speed! More speed! How his lingers flew! Beginning his career at the age of eleven, he won his first contest when he was but nineteen. His was a worthy example but some were visibly discouraged for he wrote 128 words a minute with much greater ease than the seniors who rejoice in an achievement of a meager 50 words. BANQUET Instead of a class night program the mid-year graduating class had a banquet and party. This was held in the school cafeteria on Monday, the eighteenth, and Ralph White acted as toastmaster. And was it a surprise when the problem that had con- fronted each and every one was found to have been solved in the class will. Dancing followed, Don Hasty's or- chestra furnished the music, and thus ended an evening which will be long remembered by those who partici- pated in the festivities. COMMENCEMENT Commencement exercises for the thirty-four members of the mid-year class of 1937 were held in the audi- torium on January 20. As the or- chestra played the f'Processional Grand March, the graduates ad- vanced to the stage from the rear of the auditorium and took their places on the platform. The program fol- lows: COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM Class Processional- Processional Grand March . , . Berthold Tours Orchestra of Manual Training High School Salute to the Flag and K'America .........

FACULTY LUNCHEON The last day of the semester ar- rived at last, exams were over and headaches dissipated. Relaxation! What a treat! No classes were held on Friday, but the teachers worked overtime, correcting papers, averag- ing grades, and making out final re- ports. However, time off was granted at noon when the annual faculty 100 2? luncheon was held. The cafe- teria was decorated in carnival fash- ion with balloons of every hue as one of the main features. Place cards bore pictures of characters taken from the funny papers, and some of us still wonder why. Donning caps and dofling dignity, those who parti- cipated in the merriment say a good time was had by each and everyone. Thus ended a semester full of both work and play. For some days of anticipation had changed into those of realization, for others there were only anxious moments as they waited for a dreaded report that failed to come. The Class of '37-Time Staqqers On WHILE leafing through a li- brary book, hoping perchance the former borrower might have used a dollar bill for a book mark, I hap- pened to glance at the cover and dis- covered that it was a book of poems entitled Go East Old Lady, CGo West Young Man-in reversej, writ- ten by Virginia Williams. This re- called the time when Virginia was writing poems in my English class- beautiful poems they were, too. No one understood them unless Virginia did-but she was still an amateur. And so I wondered what had happen- ed to the other members of the class of '37. Securing the latest edition of the Who's Who and Why, I scanned its many pages to see what the vale- dictorian, Marian Miller, was doing. Marian is the heroine of many of the revived Miller-drammers and is currently starring in the Broadway version of East Lind. Fred Barr was runner-up, and I soon discovered that he is a candy manufacturer-maker of that popular Big Brother Barr's Bar? Bar None- Barr's Bar Is the Berries is a house- hold word. The ten honor students, Thelma Connolly, Helen Fragel, Frank Ma- son, Kathleen Smith, Charles Um- holtz, Keith West, Ralph White, and Virginia Williams, all banded together to form a school How to be an Honor Student in Ten Easy Lessons. Since Mathes Dickson was the only pupil they closed the doors--he knew more than the teachers. Dan Demmin, who sang The Blind Plowman on commencement night, has just returned from a concert tour of Europe. He now sings The Poor Blind, Deaf, and Dumb Plowman, Who Has Only One Leg. -A cheer- ful little song, which just goes to show how far he has advanced in the music world. Mathes Dickson is also a Top- notch musician, he is an organ vir- tuoso. His music is known throughout the land. He is indeed an artist who rates, in my estimation, with the old masters. Nothing can hinder his art. I saw him in one recital last week, but it was under rather trying circum- stances-first the handle broke-and then the monkey ran away with all his pennies. Ninety-four -- Henrietta Arendell is in the pet shop business - her Henrietta Aren- dell's Airedales have won more than their share of blue ribbons at local dog and a few cat shows. Ken Gardiner is in the garden busi- ness. As soon as he graduated he sank all his money in a sunken garden known as Gardiner,s Garden. He was alone in this field until George Eden began to compete with him. People have a hard time deciding whether to go to Gardiner's Sunken Garden for 25c or to George's Gar- den of Eden for a dime. Dorothy Meek, driven to despera- tion-and to prove she was not as meek as she seemed joined a circus to become a lion tamer-she is billed as Dorothy Wild and Woolly,' Meek. Lucille Stephens and Dorothy Thomas entered the photography bus- iness-but since they were so busy taking each other's pictures they had to turn all prospective customers away and soon got married to keep the wolves, in sheep's clothing, away from the door. Francis Zerwekh makes his living posing for the news reel cameras. He added three Z's and a W to his last name and now enjoys the distinction of being the only one in the world who's name is last in both the Who's Who and the New York Telephone Directory. John Svob, who is one of the worst mathematicians ever to Hunk in arith- metic is now making a good living be- cause of this one failing of his. He travels will-nilly about the country tabulating straw votes for the Liter- ary Digest Polls. Alphrita Britt, I could write two pages about her-but it would be cen- sored-Alphrita opened up a restau- rant on New York's swanky Fifth Avenue. Her Britt's Brittle Biscuits made her famous. Harry Robinson is a champion checker player. His renowned triple triple - jump - jump - jump, first came into being during our English tests. He would jump over to Dan to get the answer to the first question- jump over to Mathes for the second--over to Elmer for the third Qhe got the last two questions wrongj! This jumping was so successful that he now jumps over 'wooden men instead of over to Mathes and Elmer-which is prac- tically the same thing. WHAT CHANGES IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS? Back Row-Frank Weber, Virginia Lowe, Julia Colvin, Harold Leinseder, Alberta Goodwin, Vera Porter, Eldred Picton, James Sanders, Imogene McCann. Second Row-Stanley Sours, Fred Barr, Daniel Buchan, Robert LeBarr, Howard Smith, Harry Baer. Front Row-Katherine Griffiths, Janette Buhs, Leona McGuire, Mary Polak, Dorothy Heinrich. 1 Ninety-five --- Harry Baer is a maker of hair re- storer. As you drive along the high- ways you'll see thousands of signs that read Harry Baer Will Put Hair on Bare Heads, or If Your Head Is Bare? See Harry Baer-He'll Make Your Head Hairy.

Due to the unearthly hour I've only heard her twice-once last New Year and again this New Year. Jack Barth and Eugene Beechler are a traveling Domino Team. They travel about the country playing at old Soldiers' homes and kindergartens -beating all comers. I was chatting to the boys last week about the class of '3 7, and they tell me they are deep- ly indebted to two of our members for their continued success. It seems they were playing for the world champion- ship last year-during the coal short- age and somebody used part of their dominos for fuel. They substitute pieces of cardboard for the most of the missing pieces-but they were still shy two double blanks. So naturally they had to find Mathes Dickson and Elmer Reinhart before the match could go on-they were the best dou- ble blanks they ever knew. Olga Manuel is a true Manualite! She changed her name from Olga to Rah!-added a repeat to this-as did Simone Simone-and now signs her name Rah! Rah! Manual. Needless to say, for this free advertising Mr. Russell appointed her Third Vice- President in Charge of Unneeded Pub- licity -Rah! Rah! Virginia Frasco is the one to ask, if you know a three letter word meaning bug, or a O letter French word mean- ing Pay Your War Debt, as she has gone in for cross word puzzle contests in a big way. Angeline Palmer operates a gold- lish farm which is quite successful- M her former business ventures-a cat raising establishment for violin manu- facturers and an Oyster Orchard were dismal failures. Mildred Harris owns her own beau- ty parlor-and her modern hair dress- ing styles are the last word in fashion. Her new Easter trim for Easter-with a live bunny tied to the back of the head and two Easter Eggs for ear rings are the rage. William Dudley got tired of paying ten cents every time he wanted to bowl, so he saved up his dimes in a baking powder can until he had enough to buy his own bowling alleys. Jack Callear is a successful speech teacher-his Callear's Clear Method for Clear Speech is very popular. And there we have the shining lights of the class of '37, all successful men and women-people to whom we may point with pride-even if it isn't polite to point. Ah! me-but there is always one bad egg in the bunch, al- ways one black sheep in the family- I'll quit beating around the bush- yes, I mean Elmer Elm-tree Rein- hart-the Boogy-Boy of Broadway, the meanest man in town. The last I heard of Elmer was the time he wrote me a letter asking me to go his bond when he was arrested for yelling Fire in a crowded theater- so he could get a better seat. He started a black shirt movement several years ago-and would have made himself dictator of America if it wasn't for the fact that while the Black-shirts were on the march to Washington-he got caught in a heavy rain that washed his dirty shirt clean-and his men didn't rec- ognize him. He tried to start a white- shirt movement, but very few of his men had a white shirt. He then went to New York where he frightens chil- dren for a pastime and writes chain- letters-with his name on top-to people for a living. All's well that ends well-unless itis the mouth of a river. JOHN COLGAN, '37. MARIAN MILLER Valedictorian 7- Ninety-six -M- FRED BARR Sal utatorian Achievements of the Ianuary Class of 1937 ON JANUARY, 1934, there came to Manual a band of youths, not as green freshmen, but as intelligent sophomores. According to our princi- pal this class of 104 students consist- ing of 57 boys and 47 girls was the most handsome, best behaved class that had entered. For the first few weeks we sophomores, especially the boys, kept clear of a gathering storm cloud known as juniors. These juniors did all in their power to bring ruin, chaos, and disaster upon our heads. Mr. Russell, in assemblies gave lec- tures to us instructing us how to elude the juniors. It was not long, however, until we began to realize the opportunities that were in store for us. Soon names of the members of our class were becom- ing prominent. Marian Miller and Ruth Stroemer's names were a usual occurrence on the honor roll. Then after we concluded a semes- ter's work and survived the torments of the other two classes, it was our turn to bestow the same treatment upon the new sophomores, now we had attained the position wherein we thought we knew everything. QAn ending sophomore, of coursej. Then it was that we became acquainted with Miss Kroepel, our class adviser. Before we realized it, the football season was in full swing, and we were very proud to think that two of the members of our class, Dudley and White, were on the reserve team. With this exciting pastime, everybody seem- ed to take on a new spirit. When we won the Big 12 Conference title, we surely were proud as peacocks be- cause the school of which we were a part had achieved such fame. Soon after this the center of attrac- tion was the basketball floor. Here again we proved our worth and con- tributed two outstanding players to the basketball reserves. They were Kenneth Gardiner and Dan Demmin. Everyone far and wide heard of the skill of the basketball players of Manual. W The girls also desired to appear in the spotlight of service. They accom- plished this by becoming active in various clubs. The A Cappella Choir, the band, and orchestra attracted the musically inclined class members. We are proud of Dan Demmin and Virginia Wil- Ninet liams who were members of the A Cappella Choir, Gerald Hootman, who led the social hour orchestra, and Jack Callear, who showed his ability as a musician. By the time we were juniors we were fewer in number due to the trials of studying, many had fallen by the wayside. Now we were given seats in the senior-junior study hall. And, oh! how honored we were to be allow- ed to sit in the same room with the seniors. During the cold months of January through March we had many things to occupy our minds, especially the studying of English from Miss Kroepel and shorthand from Miss McClanathan. Gradually spring, with its sunny weather began to creep in, and we had to admit we had spring feverg in spite of this fact a few energetic per- sons remained among us. Olga Man- uel at this time possessed the energy to give Miss Mathis a friendly but invigorating Wham on the back. It was a mistake all right, but neverthe- less it showed that she wanted to keep up the friendly spirit even if it were spring. In June the class was greatly shocked to hear of the passing of one of our classmates, Mary Polak. Al- though she has passed on, her memory remains in our hearts. june came and with it the seniors left and so we moved a step ahead. y-5 Jean Roberts and Henrietta Arren- dell served as Student Council repre- sentative in our junior year, and Dan Demmin and Kathleen Smith served our class when we were seniors. When we began our last lap we saw the need of an adviser, and so we or- ganized as a group. Miss Kroepel was selected to be the one to fill this posi- tion. Marian Miller was chosen presi- dentg Virginia Williams, vice-presi- dentg Virginia Frascog secretary, and Keith West, treasurer. Upon Keith's resignation Kathleen Smith took over his duties. When the selection of students for the National Honor Society was made, our class was also represented. Six members were chosen. They were Janette Evans, Virginia Williams, Marian Miller, Dorothy Heinrich, Thelma Connolly, and Ralph White. In the fall of the year we accepted the privileges bestowed upon us by the senior class. We really were some- body. Ralph White was captain of the football squad, and Ralph White and Thelma Connolly of our class were asked to serve on the Mirror Staff. The last few months have found us very busy. Soon we shall leave this school. Some of us will be able to gain further education, while others will enter business. No matter what hap- pens we shall always look back to the good times we spent here during our three years of school life. -THELMA CONNOLLY, '3 7. HENRIETTA ARENDELL Eyes-Blue. Hair-Auburn.

Mary Polak August 7, 1919 - june 4, 1936 We haven't forgotten you, Mary, Tho' your absence has been prolonged, This minute is held as a tribute From the class to which you belong. Many the tears that fill our hearts And escape from out our eyes While recalling your friendship, dearer than wealth That has gone to dwell in the skies. Mary, your presence was worth the while- So ready and willing to aidg You also had sorrows and troubles, Yet, never did your smile fade. Instead of mourning for you now, We should offer a thankful grace That you have been tenderly carried away To rest in God's embrace. Your spirit is here with us tonight, But this is our earnest prayerg That we were worthy of one so pure, For friends like you are rare. -VIRGINIA WILLIAMS. -- One hundred two - The Era of Progress OUTSIDE, an October wind howled through the street, adding a touch of gloom to the fast dimming day in a peaceful Illinois town. To those who cared to look, two young men in earnest conversation could be seen standing at the rear of a small store room. Few people braved the chilly wind, and these, in a hurry to reach their homes, scarcely glanced through the square store windows into the dimly lighted interior. To the casual observer, here were two merchants closing their store for the day. But to the two young men, it was a momentous occasion. They were completing their first day in business . . . their first day as store owners. That was the birth of Block 85 Kuhl Co. Today, Block Bn Kuhl Co. closes its doors in seven cities. Today more than one thousand co-workers leisurely ride home in their automobiles and on street cars. What a difference to the little handful that left that store that evening, tired, to trudge home through the fast-falling darkness. Today our stores are well lighted, spacious, well-ventilated, and inviting. Today, thousands of inches of advertising each week carry the news of the store's activities to almost 100,000 homes. The idea of progress that burned in the minds of the two boys who began the present mighty organization still glows, for Block liz, Kuhl Co. will never cease to progress . . . in quality offerings . . . in values . . . in service to its patrons. , .W vv S 'fuiyt A gm it it ' Q 1 Q, N N ar Q. ..,,i E i 3 ww Q. sf 1 A Q fish ' ,Eb V xi Q 1 Y F.

The Gophers won the championship of the junior-senior league, they won all their contests. This team was composed of Marshall Mittle- man, William Kitchen, Bob Eagleson, Charles LaBarr, Bud Klobucher, Buck Marquardt, Joe Powers, and Tony Svob. The Skunks were victorious in the sophomore league, they likewise having completed their schedule undefeated. There was nothing offensive about these Skunks nor were they timid. The following boys were members of this team: Gene Schuler, William Wormer, Vernon Garrets, Martin Borgra, Max Kieler, Henry Zahner, Bob Ward, Gerald Paschon, and Gerald Winn. One team, the so-called rats, failed to show up so consistently that they never had a team in competition. Runners-up in the two leagues were the Lions and the Panthers We have all heard the story of the lion and the mouse, but evidently there are other lowly animals which are not to be disdained. The Lion's team was composed of Dale Wetzel, Charles Mohr, Richard Peterson, Ellis Kruse, Robert Newland, Bernard Hoys, Bob Boots, Bill Martin, Louis Delicath, and Joe Skomal. Panthers were Donald Jones, Merle Dargel, Milton Jensen, Gordon Toomey, Ray Tannhauser, Bob Hagerty, Ted Hoeltje, Floyd Rager, and Carl Roth. RESULTS SOPHS.

These new students received instruction and pro- grams in the auditorium at the begin- ning of the day, immediately after which they followed the routine of the new schedule, located classrooms, and received assignments for full time Work which began on Tuesday. FLOODS While all forms of activity, recrea- tion, education, and industry proceed- ed in a normal manner in Peoria, con- ditions were abnormal throughout the Ohio valley. Vast Hoods which at- tained heights never before known, in- undated towns and countryside forc- ing thousands to flee from their homes, abandon livestock, stocks of merchan- dise and all business enterprises, and congregate on river bluffs or higher positions of the affected cities. It was a national calamity and much anxiety was felt by those having loved ones in the affected area. The American Red Cross sprang into action and re- habilitation began with the receding of the water. The call for assistance was answered in the usual American manner and vast sums of money, bed- ding, clothing, and books were dis- patched to the scene. Nurses and doctors who could be spared else- where were rushed to the aid of local practitioners who were unable to cope with the need for medical sup- plies and service. Manual students always ready and willing to assist in any Worthy cause through her own chapter of the Junior Red Cross, con- tributed S140.16 to the funds being assembled for this work. PEKIN BASKETBALL The worst drubbing Manual has been forced to take in many a day occurred on the 28th when the Pe- kin basketball team humiliated Man- ual by a score of 35 to 15. As in football all went askew, and from the Manual standpoint the less said of this game the better. SPEECH CLASS PLAY t'Dollars to Doughnuts, a three-act farce was presented on Friday under the direction of Miss Dean, with Patricia Gulick and Ralph White in the leading roles. The cast was well selected and included Virginia Hei- meshoff, Virginia Ewalt, Donald Lacy, Minnie Lou Rogers, Elmore Sieks, Dan Demmin, Martha Tony, and Wilbur Jenks. The love affairs of the daughters of a wealthy American family formed the basis of the plot and many ludicrous situations kept the audience in good humor and sus- pense until the last curtain. DOLLARS TO DOUGHNUTSU 1 -- One n A WEDDING The last of january also saw the last of Miss Schied and February lst found her bearing the name of Mrs. Fred McMurray. Having held the position of attendance clerk in the office since her graduation in the class of '35, she now changes not only her name but also her occupation and has gone to her future home in Chi- cago. We wish her many happy re- turns of the day. GALESBURG BASKETBALL In a game featuring thrills and a determined fighting spirit on the part of the Orange, Galesburg was given an exhibition of ball handling and basket shooting that caused conster- nation in the bleachers and disorgan- ization on the playing floor. Garner- ing a four-point lead in the first quar- ter, Galesburg led all the way only to be overtaken in the last quarter and the score tied at 21 to 21. With but five seconds of the regular play- ing time remaining, H. Lundeen of Galesburg managed to slip through the Manual defense and caged a goal, thereby clinching the victory. The loss of Bill Chinuge early in the fourth quarter and failure to convert from the free throw line were both factors in Manual's defeat after a splendid demonstration of fioor work. WHISTLE AND CHALK March lst. Sketching rapidly and drawing upon the imagination of stu- dents as well as the pad before her, Miss Martha Chamberlain enter- tained at an assembly for a full hour. At the piano, before the easel, or in the role of imitator she was equally proficient. Her imitations of the feathered folk were well done, their songs and calls were faithfully re- produced. And, too, her essay on Geese was well received and doubt- less will be long remembered, at least by those who are familiar with this haughty and defiant bird. PERSONALITY WEEK The Hi-Y, which last year spon- sored a courtesy week, this year chose personality as a theme for programs intended to direct attention to de- sirable and worthwhile traits of hu- dred five Wilbur Jenks Robert Wierschem Mary Tobin John Colgan man behavior. Two assemblies were held. The first program consisted of music by the Manual Octet, and talks by Robert Baden on 'fWhy I, as a student consider this topic, 'Per- sonality' an important one for every- one to considerf' Elmore Sieks on In what way does a student hope to bene- fit by improving the quality of his personality? g Gertrude Schaal on Should all people be concerned about improving their personality? g Miss Hulsebus on Where and how can personality be developed and its value in later life? As has become the custom, f'Mir- rors were offered by the Hi-Y for the best poster and the best theme on the subject chosen for the week's discussion. Receipted subscription cards were presented to John Colgan for the best poster and to Mary Tobin for the best theme on '6Personality. Honorable mention was given to Rob- ert Wierschem and to Wilbur Jenks as runners-up in the two contests. The second assembly was address- ed by the Rev. William Atkinson Young of the First Presbyterian Church who stressed the need for cultivation of that intangible thing which few of use can describe but all of us recognize and for which Hol- lywood pays well, but describes as lKIt H -- One hundred six -- BOOKS FOR THE BOOKLESS Robert Myers Walter Lundholm HIGH SCHOOL VISITORS Being an accredited high school, Manual is under the constant super- vision of a group of men known as High School Visitors, operating from the state university. These men make annual trips to inspect the teaching methods and to investigate the facilities of the schools under such a classification. But few of us knew that these men were upon such an errand when on Thursday the fourth of February, we discovered visitors in our classrooms. Inasmuch as no radical changes have been made and no rumors of proposed drastic ac- tion have come to our ears we pre- sume Manual students may still en- ter the University without examina- tion. The committee which visited Manual this year was composed of Mr. A. W. Clevenger, H. D. Trimble, and F. C. Hood. LINCOLN BASKETBALL The week ending Saturday, Febru- ary 6th, brought both victory and defeat to our basketball team. Un- successful in several recent encount- ers by one, two, and three-point mar- gins, Manual again suffered defeat at the hands of a Big 12 rival, Lincoln. Down five points and with but three minutes of play remaining, Manual started a drive for the much needed points. A foul on Grant contributed two and a second later this same wor- thy sent the rooters into a frenzy of hope with a field goal. Lincoln asked for time with but three-quarters of a minute left. Manual gained pos- session of the ball and made plenty of shots that might have resulted in victory, but none failed to connect. Regaining the ball Lincoln's Madigan added two more points as the game ended and the score read Lincoln 25, Manual 22. BOOKS NEEDED Once again the call for help came from the flooded areas of southern Illinois. An appeal for dictionaries, texts and reference books to replace those damaged by the flood waters of the Ohio was met with immediate response. Peoria's schools contrib- uted over eight thousand such vol- umes, the Manual contributions being collected and delivered for shipment by the Hi-Y Club with Wal- ter Lundholm in charge. Toomey, Yonkoski, Hagerty, Myers, and Eagle- son assisted in the collection from schools in this vicinity. i One hundred seven -- KINGMAN Manual annexed her third game of the city series by defeating Kingman in a loose game at Roosevelt gym- nasium. Leading, 13 to 9, at the half, Manual launched a scoring spree in the third quarter that resulted in a lead of eleven points. With this mar- gin of safety Coach Baxter inserted his reserves who managed to secure basket for basket and the game ended with Manual the victor, 30 to 19. AMERICANS Taken all too lightly, and in such a matter of fact manner, the privileges and advantages of life and education under the protection of the American flag was brought to our attention February 9, in a striking manner by a naturalized citizen, Mr. Sam Risk. Born in Syria and undergoing many of the hardships and persecutions in- flicted by the Turks upon his people, he drew a vivid picture of life as few of use desire to know it. Contrasting these conditions with those of his adopted country, his story brought to us a realization of the many advant- ages we, as Americans, have and aroused in us a deeper appreciation of the country in which we live. MASS MEETING A pep meeting for the coming strugggle with Central was scarcely necessary as enthusiasm for this con- test always mounts high. However, we had a very beneficial one. The band was playing as the students en- tered the auditorium and when all were seated, Mr. Huber directed the singing of As We Go Marching and '4Cheer For Old Manual. Miss Sprague's prediction that Cen- tral would secure the first basket was later to become true, but her prediction of the score was not as for- tunate. Robert Baden plead for united cheering, and Robert Hagerty indicted the teachers for non-support THE PROJECTION CREW 'Iarms, Cates, Lundholm. f'WHY?

When John finally turned the prayer meeting back to Mr. Rus- sell, Mr. Russell called upon Mr. Cahail to interpret some of the rules of the game from an ofiicial stand- point. His talk gave us a better un- derstanding of and a more whole- some respect for the man with the whistle. The fact that an official must know how to interpret the rules, must pass an exhaustive test on all the rules and regulations, and that with a score of 85 he is not considered so hot, his decisions should be more respected. Spectators should keep in mind the fact no official goes on the floor ex- cept upon the agreement of both coaches. Yells and cheers concluded the session. DISASTER Earlier in the week, Manual for the second time, this season, succeed- ed in downing the East Peoria quin- tet of basketball players. The score was 22 to 13. On Friday night, how- ever, she succumbed before an up- and-coming Central team, 28 to 21. Outsmarted, outpassed, and outclass- ed! Thus reads the sad tale of the second encounter with our foes of the bluff. Leading the greater part of the way, the Manual defense final- ly crumbled and a much-needed vic- tory to assure a city championship was lost. ST. VALENTINES Grade school days have long since passed, but the thoughts of Valen- tines still brings us a thrill. With the advertisement of a Valentine dance as a benefit for the band, and a promise of good music, we hastened to secure the coveted admission tickets. The music was provided by the Manual String Ensemble un- der the direction of Jack Turner and was all that advance notices had pre- dicted. A good time was inevitable and an enjoyable hour passed all too quickly. SAFETY? The week of February 15th to 19th might be known as assembly week. Tuesday was reserved for a safety program. The speaker never arrived. No word was ever received as to his non-appearance and we are still idly wondering whether he might have been run down or hit by a car enroute. At any rate we heard a splendid con- cert by the orchestra. NATIONAL DEFENSE Wednesday we observed National Defense Week. Colonel Jeremiah McQuade, recent mayoralty candi- date and World War veteran, pre- sented the subject. He cited the fact that 18 other countries were stronger from a militaristic standpoint than the United States, that the United States maintains an army of but 140,000 soldiers and that we have but 12,000 trained officers, and that in case of an emergency six months would be the least possible time in which an army could be assembled. With our reliance on the navy and airplanes as our first lines of defense, the United States is forced to keep pace with the ever-expanding arma- ments of others in order to insure protection. HI would like to speak about disarmament, said the Colonel, Hbut under present conditions, the only thing young America can do is to be preparedf' BROWN -MENELEY Thursday brought us the best mu- sical entertainment of the year, the Brown-Meneley Duo. Featuring vo- cal and instrumental music, using the organ chimes, saxophone, and piano in various combinations, they pre- sented a program which ended all too soon. Instrumental numbers includ- ed Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life, The Indian Love Song, uThe Bells of St. Mary's, and a faithful reproduction of cathedral chimes in the old re- ligious song 'fMy Jesus, I love Theef, Mr. Brown sang, What Life Would Be Without a Songf' and Mr. Meneley interpreted an old English song, HThe -- One hundred nine k- Holy Friarfi With Mr. Brown at the piano and Mr. Meneley playing his saxophone they ended their program in an harmonious arrangement of voice, piano, and saxophone in a sim- ultaneous rendition of '4When You and I Were Young, Maggie, Swanee River, and I-Iumoresquef' SPALDING Again defeat but by a narrow mar- gin! In a rough and tumble exhibi- tion of little merit, Spalding defeated Manual by a score of 16 to 15. Man- ual lost its game both from the field and the free throw line showing lit- tle ability in hitting the hoop from any position. Only three free throws were made from fifteen chances and scoring on both sides was at a mini- mum. Manual made but six baskets to seven for the Irish. The outcome was always in doubt but when Ken- ning missed a free throw in the last minute of play Manualls chances went glimmering and likewise, her chances for an undisputed city championship, the season closed with Manual, Cen- tral, and Spalding each having suf- fered two losses in the series of games. The Meneley-Brown Duo SURPRISE! A rejuvenated team composed of Bill Chinuge at center, Russell Wend- land, and Lawrence Leonard for- wards, Bob Kenning and Walter War- mick at guard, were victorious over Decatur in a Big Twelve contest on Friday night. Though towering above their opponents, the Decatur lads trailed throughout, Manual got away to an early lead. At the end of the first quarter the score stood 11 to 4, at the half, 21 to 13, at the end of the third quarter 28 to 22, and the final score read Manual 32, Decatur 28. Sharp shooting, smooth dribbling, and excellent passing made this contest one of the iinest exhibitions of basket- ball seen in prep circles during the season, and will long be remembered. Sweet was the victory. Decatur only last year spoiled Manual's chances in the first game of the state tourna- ment, going on to win the state title after having defeated Manual by a three point margin. ALUMNI Creaking bones, sore muscles, and discolored epidermis, were the result of th e Alumni-Varsity basketball game on the twentieth. Frequent substitutions were necessary for the old grads, and Coach Baxter likewise changed players frequently, no less than seventeen men having an oppor- tunity to get into the fray. The final score was in favor of the varsity team, the score, 28-23. The game was held in the Manual gymnasium and was followed. by a dance. This is one of the gala occasions when Manual Alumni get together, enjoy the com- pany of each other, and regale each other with tales of high school jinks, and do you remember when.

Throughout many long years he had to carry the burden of The Revolution on his shoulders. Many of his officers were jealous of his position, he was handi- capped by lack of men, money, and supplies. He was a man of sterling qualities, untiring energy, and unwav- ering purpose, and was eminently suc- cessful and achieved undying fame. While Washington was re-organizing his army and awaiting French re- inforcements in the summer of 1780, General George Rogers Clark of Vir- ginia, of which this territory was then a part, sent a detachment of 350 men against the Indians who were assist- ing the British. The Sauk and Fox near Rockford were selected for pun- ishment. Under command of Colonel John Montgomery this force stopped at Peoria where horses and supplies were purchased from the French settlers and from which place they then proceeded, burning the towns and crops previously designated. In this way Peoria played a small part in the war of the Revolution besides furnishing some recruits for the army. At least five soldiers who served in the army of the colonies when George Washington was commander-in-chief are buried in or near the city. These were Zearly Moss, Phineas Bronson, William Crow, James Harkness, and John Montgomery. No Washington! No United States of America! CANTON In the basketball game with De- catur, dependable Bill Chinuge turned an ankle and this, added to a Charley horse, kept him out of play for over a week. Defeated earlier by Canton by a one point margin, the Manual team put up a spirited battle at their second regularly scheduled game. With the score 17 to 17 in the third quarter both sides played cautiously. Early in the fourth quarter Canton registered a free throw, and with only three min- mark. Kenning in the final minute sank a short shot from under the bas- ket, and the gun sounded before fur- ther tallies could be madeg Manual lost 20 to 19. SPEED Miss Grace Phelan, demonstrator for the Underwood Typewriting Com- pany, gave a demonstration of speed and action in the senior typing room on the twenty-fourth. She combined with her speed the unusual feat of being able to converse, answer ques- tions, or perform simple mathematical calculation at the same time that she was typing at the rate of 140 words per minute. She used her own machine which was equipped with a would-be- heard three inch bell, and those who saw her perform marveled at the dex- terity with which she manipulated the keys. CI-IEVIE Four reels of movie films which were presented by the Chevrolet Company were unusual in subject matter and equally entertaining and educational. Turnabout Man con- trasted courtesy of the road with cour- tesy in everyday walks of life, at the opera, or on the street, and we learned that ndiscourtesy behind the wheel means real trouble? It was well for the character involved that it proved to be only a nightmare. A Thousand Hours brought home to us the fact that high school courses are ground work for later life and occupation and that learning to think is the most important thing we may derive from our high school contacts and class work. Spring Levers showed the devel- opment of gears, their construction, and their arrangement in the trans- mission of a car. A thing we have all wanted to know, what happens when gears are shifted, was clearly demon- strated. Low-speed, speed and power are gained by use of these gears. -- One hundred twelve -- Formations compared lines of cars with air formations. We saw army bombers and their intricate ma- neuvers. We saw lines of traffic on the highways and streets from the air. These latter clearly disclosed the various formations or positions of cars on highway and at intersections and portrayed vividly the dangers that lurk behind the violated traffic law or the thoughtless action of a careless driver. Less accidents would doubt- less result if every driver kept his mind on his formation, remembering his own car, the one in front, the one behind, and the one around the corner. With these in mind and the proper use of signals when changes in speed or direction are to be made, drivers could materially reduce the number of acci- dents and minimize the hazards of the highway. The Band, From the Flies CONCERT Mr. Huber and his band gave a concert for children of grade school age on Thursday. A full auditorium greeted the band as the curtains part- ed, and this audience expressed their appreciation by their attention and applause. Gordon Toomey played a trumpet solo, and the band rendered eight numbers, the program lasted an hour. Mr. Russell gave a short ad- dress at the intermission and found that a great many of the audience already had brothers or sisters at Manual. STREATGR For the last regularly scheduled game of the basketball season, Man- ual journeyed to Streator and was de- feated for the second time by a much larger score than in the preceding en- counter. The Manual boys were un- able to get a single field goal during the first half, and a third quarter drive put Streator well out in front. Leon- ard and Wendland scored 5 and 4 points respectively, and Grant was the only other Manual player to make a field goal. The final quarter saw Man- ual make three points more than Stre- ator, but the big lead of Streator was little affected, the final score showed Manual loser, 32 to 15. SOPHOMORE-JUNIOR PARTY The sophomores and beginning ju- niors had a combined party in the girls' gymnasium Friday evening. The lights were decorated with streamers of crepe paper and a large canopy suspended from the ceiling enclosed a myriad of toy balloons. Music for dancing was furnished by Chuck Tur- sam's orchestra and cards were played by those who did not care to dance. A mad scramble resulted when the balloons were lowered, and a machine gun staccato resounded as balloon after balloon burst. None, eventually, survived. Ice cream and cake were served and generous were the helpings Miss Sprague passed out. Mr. Adam- son was a busy man seeing that every- one had a good time. It was a swell partyf' was the comment of one soph- omore boy, and we know he expressed the sentiments of most if not all of us who were present. HONOR STUDENTS Gertrude Schaal, Ellen Miller, Hazel Koehler, Lois Harren. Mary Tobin. Mildred Michaelis, Emma McCawley. l Pete Barborinas, Betty Olin, Betty Hadank. CLASS HONORS Announcement of honors of the senior class of June 1937 came at an assembly on Thursday, March 4th. The highest ranking student was Betty Hadank with an average of 92.77 per cent, this gave her the cov- eted honor of valedictorian of her class. Second high honor and the dis- tinction of salutatorian was awarded Ellen Miller. The other students who completed the high ten of the senior class were Betty May Olin, Mildred Michaelis, Pete Barborinas, Lois Har- ren, Mary Tobin, Emma McCawley, Hazel Koehler, and Gertrude Schaal. Later it was discovered that an error had been made in this announcement. Margaret Sanden, having been a reg- ular member of the January class of 1938 and having completed extra work to enable her to graduate with the June class of 1937, had at the same time maintained a high enough average to include her in this group of honor students. ..M NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY An announcement following that of the honor students was likewise made of those elected to the National Honor Society by vote of the faculty. Four points scholarship, character, leadership, and service are considered in the selection of students for this honor. This national organization pro- vides a quota for membership based on the size of the class. This may not be increased. This year thirty mem- bers were elected from the June se- niors of 1937, three from the Febru- ary seniors of 1938, and six juniors. This list included: June seniors: Pete Barborinas, Doris Bencher, Dorothy Binkele, Bernard Blair, Orlando Cates, Virginia Ewalt, Jeanne Cone, Merle Dargel, Frances Getz, Robert Hag- erty, Lois Harren, Bernard Hoffman, Lawrence Jacobs, Glen Loeffel, Emma McCawley, Collins Miller, Mildred Michaelis, Ellen Miller, Betty May Olin, Velma Peterson, Floyd Rager, Lloyd Rager, Yvonne Reppel, Anna THE NATIONAL F.

Betty Hadank, John Yonkoski, and Gertrude Schaal were elected during their junior year and formed the nu- cleus of this ye-ar's organization. Ini- tiation and the annual banquet will be held in May. A former mayor of Manual, de- pendable, willing, Jacob Lentz, elect- ed to membership in 1928, appeared on the program and told what the Honor Society meant to him and to the school. TEACHER'S CONVENTION No school was held on Friday, the fifth, when Manual teachers met with other teachers of the Peoria Division of the Illinois Educational Association at the Palace Theatre. The general session on Friday morning was open- ed with music by Manual's octet, Lois Harren, Ella Randall, Virginia Ewalt, Doris Lasister, Donald Jones, Walter Reinhard, Clifford Lee, and Glen Loeffel. The sectional meetings in the afternoon at Central High School again called upon Manual. Miss Chivington directed the octet in a series of numbers for the public school music section. Mr. Baxter was chairman of the athletic coaches' sec- tion. The Saturday morning session was begun by Mr. Huber and his orchestra who were heard in four numbers, Latona by Mohl, Valse Triste by Sibelius, World Is Wait- ing for the Sunrisel' by Seitzcarver, and 'fWaltz Melodies' by Lehar. Despite the fact seven members were missing because of other engage- ments, the orchestra performed in a very creditable manner and was the recipient of many kind words and congratulatory remarks. The Peoria High School band which also showed splendid training and very commendable work, like- wise presented a program on Friday under the leadership of our former director, Mr. Irving Bradley. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT Having been assigned to the East Peoria regional tournament for a number of years, Manual this year was sent to Elmwood and Central was sent to East Peoria. In the first game Manual was pitted against Yates City. HONOR SOCIETY R. Baden, L. Wukasch, M. Payne. Y. Reppel. R. Deathorage. L. Harren. W. Coughlin. M D r el O Cates B Bl i R Ha e-rt ' B. Teufel.

After a very slow start in which Yates City acquired a 7-2 lead, Man- ual came back to lead at the half 14 to 12. This was one of the roughest games of the season, 37 personal fouls were called, and 20 were charged against Manual. Yates City made 14 while Manual made 13 fouls from the free throw line. Manual made 12 goals from the field to 6 for Yates City, and the game ended with the score 35 to 26. By defeating Princeville, Kingman met Manual in the second game of the series. This game was hard fought throughout, and though Manual led all the way, the Kingman lads threat- ened continually to assume the lead. A rally in the last quarter barely fell short of tieing the score, and Manual supporters heaved a sigh of relief as the gun ended the game, with the score 22-20. The final game came on Saturday night with Manual and Dunlap striv- ing for the honors. This was one of the best games the Manual boys have played recently, Warmick and Chi- nuge teamed well in the guard posi- tions, with Kenning, Wendland, and Leonard garnering the points. A sec- ond quarter rally after a slow start put Manual out in front 13 to 8 and from then on she maintained a lead of from eight to ten points. The boys played heads-up basketball and took advan- tage of fumbles and misplays by a nervous but fighting adversary. The score was 27-18. Final statistics showed 225 fouls were called in the seven games of this series. Both runners-up and winners compete in sectional play, and Man- ual was assigned to the Pekin Sec- tional. PRISON The council presented a very in- structive and worth-while program when they brought Mr. George Raney, former warden and investigator of penal institutions, to our stage. Formerly few were privileged to see or know the inside workings of such institutions and of the agony of body and soul as the inmates toil from morning to night to pay for vio- lation of the law. Bringing with him, blacksnakes, bats, cat-o'-nine tails, ankle picks, shackles. handcuffs, and manacles, he exhibited them to illus- trate various means in present day use of enforcing prison discipline. ---- One hundred sixteen --- Following the routine of dressing in,'i where a man's citizenship is re- moved with his civilian clothing, he recounted the workaday monotony of prison life and the penalties imposed for infractions of prison rules. He stated that the average age of inmates has been gradually lowered, the aver- age in 1916 was 34 years, as com- pared with a present day average of 22. Furthermore, he stated that more youths of 18 or 19 are engaged in criminal pursuits today than any other age groups, and our institutions are rapidly filling with boys and girls of these ages. Attention was called to the misleading advertisements that are found in many of our papers and periodicals, to the fact that govern- ment reports indicate 677: of all pris- oners are drug addicts, and to the fact that this was largely the result of the cigarette habit which in itself had the effect of slowing up mental processes. Lastly, he demonstrated the electric chair, one which served in the electro- cution of a score of men in New York State before such means of capital punishment was abandoned there. This program was unusual, informa- tional, and of lasting value. Through it we formed new conceptions and ideas concerning prison life and more reasons for avoiding 'fLife Behind Prison Bars. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Manual was placed in the Pekin Sectional tournament this year along with East Peoria, Clinton, Canton, Pekin, University High of Normal, Lincoln, and Petersburg. Manual played the opening game against East Peoria Wednesday night and for the third time this year was returned the victor. Manual led at the quarter but was behind three points at the half. A rally in the third quarter which re- sulted in 14 points while East Peoria was held to a lone free throw was the deciding period of play. The final score was lVIanual 30, East Peoria 15. Pekin disposed of Lincoln, Peters- burg was vanquished by University High of Normal, and Clinton defeated Canton, this placed Manual in compe- tition with Clinton and Pekin with University High on Friday. The Man- ual-Clinton game was a nip and tuck affair from start to finish. The first quarter ended in a tie, basket for bas- ket was made in a whirlwind game that showed little advantage to either team, though the 6' 7 Jimmerson, center for Clinton, was the main- stay of his team. Clinton pulled ahead just before the end of the half, with the score board showing 18 points to Manual's 15. The third quarter, as in the first game of the tourney, was all Manual. The team outplayed and topped their opponents by a single tally. The last quarter was a thriller. A rally by Clinton tied the score at 22 all with but a minute to play. Then Chinuge got the ball and slipped under the basket for two more points. With the game apparently won and but 20 seconds left to play, a bad pass, which found the ball in the back court, was taken by Jimmerson of Clinton, and the tying points were made as the gun sounded the end of the quarter. Manual missed several chances to score in the overtime, but the game ended, and Manual suffered defeat when Bob Magill sank a long shot after four minutes of playing time had elapsed. The stretch of the Clinton center was the deciding factor in both the Canton and Manual games. Jimmerson was high scorer in the Manual game with 12 points, Bill Chinuge was second with four baskets and one free throw to his credit, and Arnholt scored four times from the floor. An item in the Journal-Transcript by Sid Joerger was evidence that he had the situation well sized up when on March 12th he wrote: Unless Peoria Manual can figure out a way to cope with the six feet and seven inches of Glenn Jimmerson, Clinton center, it is going to be an unpleasant evening for the last re- maining greater Peoria school in the sectional tournament. Jimmerson de- moralized Canton, and he and his height are a nightmare for opposing coachesf' We all but did it. wifi 1 49 VARSITY BASKETBALL Top Row--Baxter, coach: Oglesby, Warmick.

At first he was inclined to think himself the victim of a practical joker so police were tardily informed of its disappearance. It was located next day in a ditch in the southern part of the state, and the two boys were apprehended and re- turned to Peoria. Mr. Baxter was without means of transportation till repairs were made and had to rely on his friends for transportation to the state basketball tournament. STAPLES For the second time this year our stage was occupied by a magician when Staples and Co. presented a pro- gram of magic and ventriloquism. Assisted by his wife who was the com- pany and using monkeys, pigeons, and mice, besides his Tommy doll, and a truck load of equipment, he kept us guessing for a full hour. His most un -understandable feat was passing himself through an 8-inch key hole. Oh, for the life of a magician! No fool he, though he fool me. ST. PATRICK'S Green ribbons, ties, and dresses enlivened a day long dedicated to the Emerald Isle and its patron saint. At the conclusion of the school program, a dance was held by the Commercial Club in the gymnasium. Every red head in school was present, and we found out exactly how many we had. They all came, for none of them paid the six cent fee. For once the red heads rated, even the sandy ones re- ceived consideration. CONCERT The A Capella choir of Dubuque University of Dubuque, Iowa, rend- ered a splendid program in the audi- torium on the seventeenth. This cho- rus of 60 people under the direction of Mr. Logan presented six numbers including Hospodi Pomi1ui and Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler. Their piano virtuoso Mr. Collins demon- strated perpetual motion, and a male quartette entertained with two num- bers, of which 'fCome Mustache Come will ever be remembered for the catchy phrase, airy as a fairy. Hav- ing sung not for their supper, but for their dinner and having been paid in full, they departed via their two buses midst the waving of hands and ker- chiefs and the best wishes of an appre- ciative student body. SOLOS Musically inclined Manual stu- dents were entered in the West Cen- tral District instrumental music con- test held at Peoria Central High School on Friday, March twenty- sixth. Entries were so numerous that five different rooms and at least five different instruments were in constant use throughout the afternoon and eve- ning. In the solo contests Manual ranked third in two contests, second in seven, and first in four. The latter award permits the winners to enter the state finals to be held in Cham- paign on the twenty-second of the month. These included Donald Jones, alto clarinet, Henry Ham, sousa- phoneg Evelyn Strassberger, piano, and Eldon Stear, trombone. Two of Manual's ensembles like- wise were given first rank while the clarinet quartette, saxaphone quar- tette, and cornet trio were retired in second position. The trombone quar- tette was composed of Carl Roth, Dale Griffith, Clifford Feulner, and Eldon Stear. The woodwind quintet was composed of Kathleen Manning, Mary Ellen Higgins, Anita Schuelke, Harriet Schweitzer, and George Cald- well. These two organizations will likewise compete in the state finals at Champaign. BOXING The boxing boys journeyed to Westville on Saturday where they participated in eight bouts, they were returned victor in five of these con- tests. Boys who participated in this event were Leo Schafts, John Allen, George Maroon, Andrew and Walt Warmick, Ted Bates, Bud Ammer- man, John Wake, Donas Kirk, Bob Braddock, and Marion Clemens. Mr. Haddick arranged for the bouts and accompanied the boys. -- One hundred twenty T 3555351 SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL Top Row-Rayburn, Smith, Gresham, Hoppe, Winn, M. Taylor, manager. Second Row-S.

Success is the birthright of every- one. Men who have had confidence have ruled the world. Trouble always gives you warn- ing. Trouble is life's greatest teacher. Trouble never looks you up, but is always home when you call. The essence of living is coopera- tion. If you know how to eat And you know how to drink- If you know how to play And you know how to think- If you know how to take And you know how to give- You'll know how to die' 'Cause you know how to live. Such is the philosophy of Mr. Ray. He appeared at Manual, March twenty-second. RED CROSS MOVIE On Tuesday, the twenty-third of March, the Red Cross Movie, Sweet- hearts of Sigma Chi, was presented to a full house. Originally scheduled for the preceding week, it was post- poned when the film was lost in tran- sit. Our new projector and sound equipment provides us with modern up-to-the-minute entertainment and is valuable for both educational and recreational features. HORACE MANN On the twenty-fifth we honored the memory of Horace Mann and cele- brated the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the first public school. The speech class presented the program. Patricia Gulick review- ed the life of Horace Mann, so-called father of the American public school, after which various episodes of his life were portrayed by LeRoy Schmidt, as Mr. Mann, and other members of the class. Scenes in his law office, a con- vention, the legislature, and his own home portrayed the task to which he had dedicated his life. These lines are worth remember- ing: Democracy rests upon education. Poverty should not necessitate ignorance. Universal education has since been adopted and has advanced rapidly and though only 200,000 students were in high schools in 1890, 1937 finds one of every four persons either in school as a student or as a teacher. DRAWING COMPETITION School was dismissed on Friday, the twenty-sixth and Monday the twenty-ninth, the annual spring vaca- tion period. On Friday and Saturday the Illi- nois Vocational Association conven- tion was held in Peoria. Entertain- ment was provided by the Caterpillar and Keystone companies, programs were held at the Pere Marquette Hotel where the exhibits were display- edg automobile trouble shootingi' contests were held at the Armory, and a drawing competition at Manual High School. Seventy-four boys, from all sections of the state, came together for the drawing contest and competed under identical conditions and allot- ment of time. These boys were di- vided into three groups depending on the number of hours of drawing in- struction they had received. Manual takes pride in the accomplishment of Hugh Martin who ranked second in the class B division and Don Daves who received sixth place in the same classification, they were two of only three boys entered from our school, and the only boys from Peoria to place. ALCOHOL The W.C.T.U. presented a film, The Beneficient Reprobate on Tues- day after the vacation. Through pic- tures showing experimentation in the laboratory, the effect of alcohol as a solvent and as a hardener were equally well portrayed. Thereafter its many beneficial uses were enumer- ated and numerous articles derived therefrom were fiashed upon the w -- One hundred twenty-two -- screen. In contrast were the detri- mental effects of this stimulant on the human system, through its slow- ing up of mental processes and the danger of stupefaction. These effects were readily apparent in experiments made on human beings in the labora- tory before and after the use of the beverage. We shall also long remem- ber Elmer, the frog who, sitting in a 5 per cent solution of alcohol for fifteen minutes, was entirely knocked out, nor shall we forget the length of time necessary for his recuperation even when he was placed in his own wholesome environment, water. DRIVER TESTS Through the courtesy of the Chi- cago Motor Club a test in safe driving for high school students was given to the entire student body. Knowledge of laws governing the operation of motor vehicles, significance of signals, permissible speeds, stopping distances, rights-of-way, and problems of judg- ment were all covered, and we were surprised to learn that many non- driving students were equally as effi- cient in such knowledge as those who actually operate a car. As a means of focusing attention on the need for safety measures and observance of existing laws and regulations such a procedure was highly desirable and of great benefit to driver and pedes- trian alike. ORATIONS On the last day of March, two rep- resentatives of Bradley College ap- peared upon our platform. Both were former graduates of Manual, Bernard Bour in the class of 1936 and Vir- ginia Coker in 1935. Having survived the preliminary contests, they were chosen to represent their school in the sectional Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest to be held at Bloomington on April eighth and ninth. The title of Miss Coker's address was Youth Makes a Protest and Bernard Bouris was New Frontiers. We wish them well and know from our own contacts that Bradley has not misjudged abil- ity nor misplaced her confidence. HI-Y BASKETBALL The Manual Hi-Y on March 31st won the Hi-Y four-square league championship in a playoff with the Shell Aces after these two teams had completed their regular schedules with six games won and one loss each. In the final game, Manual was vic- torious 26 to 21. The following boys played on the team: G. Toomey, M. Dargel, R. Baden, D. Wall, R. Tann- hauser, C. Miller, B. Hanson, R. Hoppe, and B. Eagleson.

The faculty met at the Teacher's Club Rooms on Monroe Street for a dinner to which faculty men's wives were also invited. The men furnished the service and though many had some misgivings on account of the date, the food was excellent, well served, and enjoyed immensely. Aside from Miss Helen McC1ana- than's trouble with her glass and Mr. Landers bothersome match, the affair might have been staged on any other date. Stunts followed the dinner, in which all participated, but this book will not record the undignified antics of some of the faculty members. Suffice it to say Mr. Hilling was chair- man of the committee. He and Mr. Russell, as head waiter, were given a big hand for their management and the splendid meal which was served. DISTRICT BAND MEET In contests conducted at Peoria High School on April third, for honors in the West Central Illinois district of the Illinois School Band Association, the Manual band competed in Class A with Peoria Central, Springfield, Pekin, and Canton. This classification was for schools having an enrollment of 750 or more students. judges of the contests were the following band instructors: Glenn C. Barnum of Northwestern, Kenyon S. Fletcher of Normal, and Graham T. Overgard of Illinois. Manual was rated in the sec- ond division.

Brace, for twenty-five years Y.M.C.A. secretary in one of the interior provinces of China, pictured for us the awakening of this great republic. With 5000 years of history behind her and a population of 450 millions of people CV4 of the popula- tion of the entire worldj she has at last aroused from her long period of lethargy and is making rapid advance- ment in a new civilization. Shanghai possesses the largest sky- scrapers outside of America, vast num- bers of cars, and aeroplanes of foreign manufactures are being imported, hard roads are making easier access to the interior, an official Mandarin dia- lect has been adopted and being taught, and through these a concerted effort is being made at unification of the vast former empire. Chiang Kai- shek and his wife, both educated in American schools, are making every effort to further the new republic, which was born in 1911, and which has as its aim, a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. Chinese troubles have been many. The Japanese problem in the North, Communist troubles causing an aggressive civil war, poverty, illit- eracy, and opium have all tended to thwart any progressive forward move- ment. With modern means of convey- ance and transportation, modern means of communication, a common language, and a vigorously prosecuted unification program, China today has the most rapidly advancing civiliza- tion in the world and will soon be able to cope not only with enemies from within but also with those who threat- en her existence from without. G.A.A. BASKETBALL The schedule of the G.A.A. basket- ball tournament was completed on April second. Thirteen teams of six girls each competed in this tourna- ment, a total of thirty games being played. A team composed of Sopho- mores won the final game Q15-141 and the series. Members of the winning team were: Rosalie Brenning, captain, Helen Boich, Velma Franks, Helen Gay, Florence Fahnders, Catherine Fragel. Runners up were: Virginia Ander- son, captaing Bernice Edwards, Lois Wukasch, LaVerta Zerwekh, Shirley Anderson, Jacqueline Weber. D.A.R. MEDAL The Daughters of the American Revolution, the oldest and largest patriotic group in the whole world today, conduct an annual good citizen- ship pilgrimage to Washington, D.C. This idea was originated by Ruth Bryan Owen, former congresswoman and daughter of William Jennings Bryan. One girl from each state is chosen to make this five-day trip at the expense and as guests of the D.A.R. Chosen by the high school faculty as being outstanding in the qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism, names of each of the 317 girls so selected in Illinois high schools are then drawn for the honor of representing their state. At the drawing this year a young lady from Argo, Illinois, receiv- ed the honor. On Tuesday, April 7, however, Mrs. Tillotson, president of 1- One hundred twenty-hve l the local chapter of D.A.R., presented to Gertrude Schaal, our chosen repre- sentative, a medal of good citizenship in appreciation of this distinction. THE WORLD BY PHONE The Illinois Bell Telephone Com- pany presented a second series of educational films to complete the assembly period. t'Voices in the Air, portrayed the vast system of possible communication, the use of cable and radio in combination to transmit long distance and oversea messages, and the process of manufacturing, water- proofing, and laying cables for such purposes. Radio telephone antennae were described, and different forms in use for long waves, short waves, and ultra-short waves were depicted. Giant vacuum tubes, which gener- ate 100 Kilowatts of electrical energy, were shown in construction, and the process of fusing glass to metal was described. Surely, communication has advanced at an amazing rate, and we wonder what next! SOCIAL HOUR Friday, April 9th, was a day of much activity. We had a real time at the Social Hour after school. The Social Hour Orchestra, sponsored by the Council has given us many after- noons of enjoyment and real pleasure during the winter months. Dances were held in the girls' gymnasium, and a goodly number of dancers as well as I-wish-I-coulds were always on hand upon these occasions. BOWLING CHAMPS The schedule of the Peoria High School Bowling League was also ter- minated on this day with Manual as- suming an imposing lead by making a clean sweep of the last four games with Spalding. Virgil Thomas was leader of the league's High Ten and Fred Boland tied for third place. Rog- ers, Wierschem, and Sutter likewise placed in this group. Boland's 264 score was the high single game of the tournament and Thomas' 434 pins was easily high for the two-game se- ries. To attain this total he rolled two games with an identical score of 217 pins. The Manual II team boasted both the high team game and the high team series with 959 and 1770 pins respec- tively. This is the second year the Manual team has won the champion- ship, and the trophy will become Man- ual's permanent possession provided another season is concluded as suc- cessfully TEAM STANDING Total Teams.

FRESH FIELDS Evening saw the production of the senior class play, f'Fresh Fieldsf' by Ivor Novello, under the direction of Miss Gretchen Hulsebus. The story concerns two sisters who inherit a Belgravian mansion with- out the necessary funds for its upkeep. One sister, Lady Mary Crabbe, is en- ergetic in her attempts and finally persuades a Mrs. Pidgeon, her daugh- ter Una, and brother, Tom, all of whom have arrived from Australia to do the season in London. After many awkward faux pas, the Austra- lians, through a general polishing ad- ministered by Lady Mary and her society friend, Lady Strome, find themselves rather well established in their new society. Tim, the son of Lady Mary, marries Una and comes into his fortune, Tom marries Lady Lillian, and Lady Mary and Mrs. Pidgeon go around the world together -all happy in the Fresh Fields of their lines.

Walter Lundholm George Harms Lloyd Brugger John Elliott Through the efforts of the property committee, headed by Miss Hazel Wolf and Mr. Henry Pratt, the play became convincing because of the de- tail in the appointments.

SPAIN On Tuesday, Miss Imogene Warder, whose home is at Peru, Indiana, re- lated some of her experiences while traveling with a companion through European countries. They arrived in Spain before the outbreak of the revolution, but were forced to leave the country on a British warship when the conflict began much sooner than it was anticipated. Hers was a har- rowing experience. Without baggage or personal belongings she arrived back in the United States, back to a country in which she stated, The poorest American is better off than the richest Europeanf' Interesting were her comments on living conditions abroad, the prevalence of soldiers, the spirit of unrest, and her prediction that the Spanish war would be won by the side obtaining the greater amount of outside assistance. CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN The regular weekly council meet- ing was transferred from its regular meeting place to the stage on Monday, the twelfth, where the proceedings were enjoyed by Group II in a regu- lar assembly period. Reports, dis- cussions, motions and balloting ap- peared in order, the main piece of business was the inaugural of a clean- up week. Messy halls and grounds and careless individuals alike are to be scrutinized and supervised most carefully and whatever action seems necessary summarily undertaken to improve the appearance of our school home. Slogans are in order. Prizes as an inducement to writing should produce results. PETITIONS Will you sign my petition?', A small thing to ask, a small favor to grant! How much thought, how- ever, to qualifications of the indi- vidual making this request is ever given? Candidates are plentiful, petitions, more so. Both those seek- ing the office of Mayor and those seeking a place on the council con- front one at every turn. We all hope the fittest candidates survive and the best man wins.

The band played at all the home football and basketball games. gave three concerts, participated in the Band Festival in October, and even broadcast over Station WMBD upon one occasion. Both the band and orchestra have grown in size and have made much progress in the quality of music rendered. The orchestra has made two outside ap- pearances, each before an apprecia- tive audience, provided the music at the Commencement exercises in Janu- ary, and will do likewise for the final exercises in June. Manual's en- sembles, of which there are eleven, have responded where smaller groups were more desirable and have furnished music on 32 different occa- sions. BAND Back Row-T. Terrell. C. Lee, J.

The date for this celebration was selected be- cause at this season schools through- out both North and South America are in session and such a celebration might be the more easily observed. The Manual students of Spanish with the assistance of a group of those studying the same language at Brad- ley presented a -program depicting Spanish costumes and customs. Dif- ficulties of travel when one has only a scant or inadequate knowledge of the country visited was portrayed by a cast of the Bradley students. Ex- periences of an Americano trying to make himself understood eventual- ly led to a happy solution when an interpreter arrived upon the scene and rescued him from what might other- wise have been a bad situation. Miss Louise Tejeda, a Mexican citizen and a student at Bradley col- lege, explained the desire for a closer union of the Americas and made a plea for greater understanding and more friendly relations between the countries of the western hemisphere. Evelyn Cameron with a Spanish dance and Spanish songs by other students completed the program. We extend our thanks and congratula- tions to Bradley for the fine spirit and the enjoyable little play which they presented. TRACK On April tenth, the track at Man- ual field was used for the first time in competition. Laborious hours had been spent by the coaching staff in preparation. Pits for jumping and vaulting had been dug out to a depth of twelve inches and then re-filled with sand. A heavy roller had been constructed and sixty hurdles had likewise been made. The day was ideal. A warm sun and a bracing spring atmosphere enticed many to come out and view the dou- ble feature which had been arranged. Peoria Manual met Pekin in a dual meet and Peoria Central was pitted against the thin-clad youths of Spring- field High School. Bill Chinuge was high point man for lVIanual with vic- tories in the 220-yard low hurdles, 120-yard high hurdles, and the broad jump. Gordon Toomey won the 100 and 220-yard dashes, and Handley outdistanced the field in the javelin throw. Pekin scored eight firsts to Manual's four, thereby winning the meet. The other contest was more closely fought, Springfield eventually being declared winner by the scant margin of one point. With the football field a beautiful green, the track as smooth as a road bed, the orange and black hurdles resplendent in new paint, and ample provision for spectatorsg this made a wonderful setting for the events of the day. With much pride we View what has already been accomplished in the furnishing of these long-needed and eagerly awaited recreational facilities and predict that the future will find even more and more students taking advantage of the opportunities which they offer. Already Mr. Russell has visions of a field second to none in the beauty of its setting, as well as its physical appointments. Already p l a n s are made for an initial purchase of trees to shade the west bleachers and shut out the glare of a late afternoon sun from the eyes of those on the West side of the field. Likewise, we have visions of a row of trees at both the north and south ends of the gridiron to form, eventually, an effective screen, thus eliminating the use of canvas about the playing field. We have waited long and patiently. At last we are realizing our dreams! MA flhg S n if?- ie Ii lx ., . ,f my APRI May 19-A Capella Choir appeared at Bradley.

The following num- bers were given: The Nightingale, Galway Piper, 'fKatherine's Wed- ding, Music of Life, Dark Waterl' and Hear Me Pray. The Bradley students expressed their appreciation of this program by applauding for an encore. The chorus then concluded the program by singing Bless Thou the Lord. KNOCKOUTS Manual boxers were victorious for the second time over the St. Bede's Academy team of Peru, Illinois, when they won five out of six bouts on Monday evening, April 19. at the Inglaterra. Three kayoes featured the e V e n i n g's performance, Leo Schafts, Walter Warmick, and Johnny Wake won their bouts by the knock- out route. With this victory the sched- ule for the 1937 season was com- pleted. FACULTY EXHIBITION On April 20, a faculty team, consist- ing of Messrs. Harms, Becker, Had- dick, Thomas, Cahail, Harding, Bax- ter, and Atkinson, met the senior boys in a basketball game in the gymnas- ium. The faculty were attired in sweat pants to protect their tender skins, and Mr. Baxter experienced a great deal of difficulty in keeping his in place. Replacements of men, not trou- sers, were frequent and necessary. The game itself was a lopsided affair, in fact, the professors could not take itg they did not even have a Hlook-in. The final score read 14 to 3. Although the game was devoid of thrills, we did realize about S50 to be used toward the purchase of trees for the athletic field. Mrs. Fuller was on the job early the next morning and visited the field to ascertain what was needed so that work of planting might be begun immediately. ANTICIPATION The seniors were invited to visit Bradley on the twentieth. A short program of music was followed by a series of talks enlightening the pros- pective students on what they might expect upon entering a school of high- er education. These talks were given by Dr. White, Dr. Sipple, and the president, Dr. Hamilton. Interviews with individual instructors followed, and everyone stayed for the refresh- ments. JAPAN In an assembly sponsored by the Student Council, we were accorded another treat when Lieutenant-Col- onel Rodda of the Salvation Army took us on a trip To Japan and Back. He spoke of the crowded con- ditions of the small islands compris- ing the Japanese Empire, of the dis- astrous slides and earthquakes that are frequent and severe, of Japanese conveyances, of living conditions. of native beliefs, and of the Japanese glorification of war. Food was de- scribed as consisting mainly of rice, sea-weed, and raw fish. Of the former articles of diet he partook, but he did not relish the method of serving the latter. Though we in America have difficulty in accepting the Japanese viewpoint and methods of doing things, yet they deem the western type of civilization and dress even more peculiar, and though accepting. and using many products of foreign manufacture, for relaxation they re- vert to Japanese custom and tradition. BLOOMINGTON Three buses, lined up on Lincoln Avenue at noon on Friday, April 23, excited the curiosity of many of the the students until the band and or- chestra members came forth to fill them to capacity. Upon further in- quiry, we learned they were going to Bloomington where they were to ap- pear for a concert at the High School. We were all envious and only wished we too, could toot a horn, play a vio- lin, or wield a baton. --- One hundred thirty-two -- SAFETY Mr. Dillard Hall, a safety expert, was brought to us on the 26th by the Peoria Chamber of Commerce. Am- erican people need to become safety- conscious. Thousands of lives are snuffed out daily, and a veritable army is maimed or injured in the same period of time. It is imperative, therefore, that something be done to lessen the terrific toll, taken all too often by carelessness of the individual at the wheel of an automobile or as pedestrians on the streets, or on the highways. Industry protects her work- ers through judicious use of guards and other mechanical devices, auto- mobile manufacturers have incorpo- rated safety devices in their product, but there have been few attempts to eliminate the terrific loss of life caus- ed by the non-thinking or selfish auto- mobile driver, who endangers both human lives and property. Education is needed to eliminate also that care- lessness of the pedestrian which is likewise responsible for many of the accidents which greet us in the head- lines of our daily papers. Mr. Hall's address was timely and will be re- membered long by those fortunate enough to hear him. SENIOR GIRLS' DAY As has been the custom in former years, the girls of the graduating class observed Senior Girls' Day, by ap- pearing in garb seldom seen in our halls or classrooms. Every profession this year had its devotees and repre- sentations of various uniforms and liabiliments greeted us as they were displayed by those august and priv- ileged persons. Prominent were the collars and cuffs of the secretary, the white starched uniforms of the nurse, and aprons of every shape and hue, originally designed to cover miladys Sunday best as she pursued her house- hold duties in or out of the kitchen. The senior boys were invited to a dance in the girls' gymnasium after school to Htop off the occasion. We shall long remember it! BIG TWELVE In former years the Big 12 Meet consisted of various contests between the schools composing this group. Music, both vocal and instrumental, as well as athletic and declamatory contests featured these spring meet- ings. In recent years the trend has been away from the competitive idea, and the meet has assumed the spirit of a musical festival, even the athletic events being segregated. The festival occurred on the first of May at Cen- tral Field, but the track events were scheduled for Manual Field on the twenty-second. Max Krone of North- western University was adjudicator of the vocal numbers including Boys' Glee Clubs, Girls' Glee Cl ts, Ensemble groups, and A Capella Choirs. Instrumental and vocal en- sembles were heard in the A. M.g the larger groups, in the afternoon. Miss Chivington had charge of the vocal, and Mr. Huber, the instrumental con- testants from Manual. CONCERT Thursday, May 6, was the date of the choral festival which occurred in our own auditorium. All groups of the vocal department participated in this event, and after individual ren- ditions of these various units, a massed chorus of the 225 students sang An- nie Laurief' Miss Chivington and Miss Evans directed the various num- bers. Miss Kidder, supervisor of mu- sic, gave a short talk on the value of music and in conclusion led the chorus and audience in Love's Old Sweet Song. Back Row-L. Parr, G, Hausam, D. Allen, B.

For a number of years this event has taken place at the University Club, but more commodious accommoda- tions becoming necessary, a change of location was made. After the ad- dress of welcome by the president, Fred Kahrs, responses were given by one member of each class represented. Lois Harren spoke for the senior class, Richard Bodtke, for the junior class, and Gertrude Schaal, for those who have been members during the past year. This occasion is always a happy one, one which means much to those who participate in it for the first time and likewise for those who re- turn year after year to greet old friends and to cultivate new friend- ships. PROM The Prom, one of the most color- ful and looked-forward-to events of the year occurred May seventh, at the Inglaterra ball room. Music was furnished by Harry Jackson's orches- tra. The front of the ball room was decorated with a beautiful silk drape of light blue, surmounted with silver stars, while a canopy of blue stream- ers with suspended butterflies and stars gave the effect of a summer gar- den. Dancing continued from nine to twelve, and all were loathe to leave at the closing hour. The music was broadcast over WMBD. SUBSCRIPTION DANCE Friday afternoon, May 14, the French Club sponsored a dance in the girls' gymnasium. A floor show and door prizes enticed many to part with their dimes and aid in replenishing the coffers of this organization. Some of the proceeds were used for the purchase of books and wall charts to aid in the study of the French lan- guage. We learned a single phrase at this party, so we shall use it here, Au Revoir. f l 1 One hundred thirty-five l- Manual Octet Ella Randall Glen Loeffel Lois Harren Don Jones Doris Lasister Clifford Lee Virginia Ewalt Walter Reinhart APPEARANCES - 1936- 1937 Nov. 23-Music Club.

Spring Sports OWING to the fact that The Mirror must go to press long before the schedules of spring sports can be completed, it is necessary that the results of such games and contests be deferred and recorded in the annual the next succeeding year. Sports thus affected include baseball, track, golf, and tennis. In all of these Manual has representative teams and schedules which will be terminated only with the closing weeks of school. In 1937 these teams were slow in getting started due to a backward season and inability to get the practice out of doors so necessary to early season form. As the season progresses, how- ever, all branches of spring athletic activity should reflect the practice that goes steadily on and the result of the competition that has been provided. The schedules appear on page 142.

Track MANUAL opened the 1936 track season, the first under Coach Don Fuller, by taking third place in the indoor meet held at the Armory April 4. The first dual meet with Farmington was won by Farmington 70-52. Chillicothe was Manualys first victim. The next contest was held at Pekin. Manual's defeat was attributed by some to the Junior Prom which was held the preceding evening. Manual placed third in the quadrangular meet with Central, Lincoln, and Pekin. The team placed fourth in the district meet, second, in the Big 12 Confer- enceg and sixth, in the Pekin Relays. The Manual sophomores defeated the Pekin sophomores in competition 67-55. The team suffered a bitter defeat in the Greater Peoria Track Meet losing to Central by a score of 45 2f3-43. Bill Krautwald was the outstanding star of the team. Bill placed third in the discus at the state meet, established a new Big 12 discus record, and set a new Greater Peoria record in the discus and the shot put. Harry Otten also made a new record in the 200-yard low hurdles. ' Re-gustedy' '4Three strikes. You're out. The diamond at Bradley Park Fans Capt.

Baseball - 1936 MANUAL opened the season April 23 by dropping a close 7-4 game to the Bradley Freshmen. The second game resulted in a 6-6 tie with Kingman. In all, the team played thirteen games, winning four and losing nine. In play for the intra-city title, the team won but one of the four games played with Central. They defeated Spalding twice while losing but a single contest and won the second game from Kingman. The boys were handicapped by the loss of Captain Ralph Lucas. who reached the age limit before the end of the season and also by the lack of a reserve pitching staff. Letter winners were Captain Lucas, Sanders, Grant, Leonard, Walker, Molek, Honnes, Howell, Wallace, and Yonkoski. All but Lucas and Sanders are members of this year's team which was led by Louis Grant, Captain.

In the second match with Pekin the team emerged victorious by a score of 8-4. Manual won its first intra-city match from Kingman, 8V2-3 V2. Kingman won the second match 7-5, but lost the third, 8M-3 lA. The team was unable to defeat its arch-rival, Central, in any of the three matches played with that school. Central won the first two 8-4 and 91!2-2 V2, the third match ended in a 6-6 tie. The two matches with Spalding were won easily by the scores of 12-0 and 8-4. Manual also played two matches with Bloomington and were handed two disappointing defeats 10-2 and 10V2-1V2. Coach Atkinson's 1936 golf team finished the season with an average of 50 per cent winning five matches, losing five, and tying two. Manual placed one man in the state meet, and the team placed fifth in the Big 12 Conference. T p R 1 B H N Mr. R. Atkinson, coach N x Ffa i l One hundred forty-one 1 Tennis THE 1936 tennis team was the most successful team to represent Manual in this sport in many years. The team started the season with good prospects but lost two of its best players, Boris Glavish, who secured a position before the end of the school term, and Meyer Kaminsky, who injured his hand. However, the team managed to finish the season with an average better than 500 per cent. The outstanding players were Kaminsky, Goldstein, Glavish, and Dargel. Prospects for 1937 are not so promising. Dargel is the only letterman returning.

Our high school days have meant so much to us, so infinitely more than we can express in mere words. It is difficult to realize that our school joys and problems, our associations with the teachers and students here at Manual, all such vital factors in our present life, are soon to become memories. Our eyes get misty and a lump forms in our throats when we realize that next year we shall have closed the door on our carefree high school days and entered the portals of the survival of the f1ttest modern business world. We entered Manual as countless others have done and will do-bewildered and naive. To be frank, we were rather indifferent and maybe just a little dis- appointed, too. We had been used to attending Roosevelt with its ultra-modern equipment. To us, with our critical point of view, Manual seemed dark and drab. We could not comprehend the possibility of its ever meaning anything to us. But how wrong we were! In the course of a few short weeks, we forgot that our English class was a trifle crowded and that the drinking fountain outside 323 did not work properly. We also forgot that we had ever been critical and began to love Manual and the fine school spirit that prevailed, such a friendly, good-will feeling. Everyone was everyone else's friend. So it was that we came to love every patch in the floor, every mark on the desks. We learned that there was a social life here and entered into it with a zest. Oh! We had a grand time at the prom, hop, social hours, plays, and all the athletic events. We felt that our team was the best ever, regardless of the opinion of students from other high schools. And now all this fun, all this joy is coming to a close. Soon we must bid good-bye to Mr. Russell, our sympathetic teachers, our jolly fellow classmates, the rush to get to classes, the gay chatter over the lunch table, the 'tcramming for exams -we must leave all this. No one could attend a school like Manual without being a finer, more con- siderate person for having done so. We're proud to say, We belong to Manual? As we leave, our only wish is that we have done just a little to make her the wonderful school that she is today, just as she has enriched our lives. When we sing the Manual Marching Song for the last time, we shall feel in our hearts that, though we are graduating, we shall always be here in spirit 'fpullingu for Manual one hundred per cent.

NOT IN PICTURE Maud Burt Jane Jasper Ervin Arlene Haley Virgil Horton John O'Connor Lucille Peters Robert Rebbec Carl Sayles Alfred Schonz Richard Smith Floyd Wright IN MEMORIAM Ll l To THOSE of us who know her, the memory of Joyce Raschert will linger forever. Having graduated from the Harrison grade and Roosevelt Junior High School she entered Manual three years ago. Her passing was untimely, she was but seventeen on her last birthday, November 12. Considerate and thoughtful, disposed to disregard her own feelings, always ready to contribute to the happiness of oth- ers, she meant much to those who knew her best. Hers was a worthy example. Her sweet disposition, her loyal friendship, her unquestioned integrity, her noble character, her appreciation of all that was lovely, good, and true make her place doubly hard to fill. Of her we have but happy memories. 1- One hundred sixty-four - Commencement Program JUNE 9, 1937 Class Processional-''Processional Grand Marchn ---- Berthold Tours Orchestra of Manual Training High School Fred J.

We are like nimble grey- hounds chasing a mechanical rabbit- some of us over-run the race, catch the desired rabbit, and are killed by the taste of the forbidden luxury, others become so blinded by the heat of the chase that we pass the prize, thus losing our perspective of what is vital and running headlong with no destination, but the normal majority dashes energetically along the track with eyes always on the goal. Of this last group, some few will distinguish themselves as winners, while the group as a whole will find that the exhilara- tion, healthy perspiration, and joy of clean competition as the heart is beating high and the blood runs red characterize a well-run race and are worth far more than the grandest prize. We who have been graduated from a friendly high school such as Manual contend that those four years repre- sent the gayest time of life, but the students grow weary of study, hope for vacations, and believe they are overworked. From these evidences we may conclude that it is the pursuit of our happiness rather than the ac- tual realization of happiness which is most conducive to contentment. I admit quite frankly that the Manual Marching Song incited me to attend Manual Training High School and the pervading Manual Spirit made me realize the truth of Hyour four years won't be long, and then you'll wish you were back again to sing her Marching Song. The year I left grade school I saw and heard more than two hundred proud graduates march and sing this grand old Manual song, and I determined to learn the words for that pulsating tune that virtually haunted my brain. Second only to experience is mem- ory-memory which grows sweeter as we develop a taste for it. When sur- names fade, perhaps dimming first names as well, and we meet former schoolmates s i m p l y as 'ffamiliar faces, we recall peculiar associations from school life. For example, we rec- ognize the girl who lacquered her fin- ger nails a discordant brown, the boy who blushed feverishly lest the type- writer carriage slip and ring the bell as he carried the machine through the study hall, the ultra-polite Manual Mayor who said, Excuse me, when he bumped into a post in the hall, the girl who tried to clean her teeth with scouring powder, and hundreds of similar oddities or caprices which have become dear to us. Some few stu- dents, too, have stamped their names indelibly upon our minds because we can meet them no more on the streets of this world. The faculty has given us useful facts and rules and formulas, which recall constantly individual teachers and occasions as we apply them to everyday life. Yes, 'four high school days are training us for the places we're to fill. And which of us is immune to Mr. Russell's suppliant but confident I want-, be it one dollar or a thou- sand dollars? The students have al- ways delighted in satisfying his de- sires, for the results are traditionally sources of pride for the entire student body. By means of such pecuniary cam- paigns we learn how the challenge of the city sets old Manual's heart a-thrill, and we realize our duty to provide the supply which is tanta- mount to every demand, and we learn that nothing is impossible if the will to accomplish it is great enough, for fail- ure in effort is far more disgraceful than is scholastic failure. Our high school represents the training quarters where we receive rules and equipment for the race, But what a vast difference there is be- tween jubilant preparation and actual performance! The real test comes after the gun is Hredg it is then that we try the mettle of our ability and education, it is Now that we keep the city's honor, we build the city's walls. May it be old Manual's name she calls to keep her honor and build her walls forever and ever, and may we. the students, young or old, continue to march like men! MARY DOERING, '34.

The Mirrof' award this year for the best literary production was made to Richard Bodtke for his essay on Ambition , second place was given to Berniece Uphold upon a play entitled, Please Don't Pick The Flowers , honorable mention was given to John Colgan, Mildred Densch, and Betty May Olin. First honors in the Sir Galahad Contest went to Floyd Rager for his theme, Modern Sir Galahadsf' Honorable mention was accorded Janette Evans, Richard Bodtke, and George Harms. The Joe DeRamus Poetry contest, sponsored by a Manual alumnus and for which a medal is presented annually for the best production in this field of literature, was won by Mearle McBride with a group of poems entitled, Spring is Here, Wondrous Night, To Rain, and Mist Estelle Cassidy was awarded second place, Dorothy Roth third, and Betty Hadank and Virginia Ewalt given honorable mention. SPRING IS HERE There's a robin singing in a near-by tree, , There is green grass growing on the A moon more like a plate of gold, hill. The sun is beaming down on me, And the brook babbles down by the WONDROUS NIGHT Tonight is wondrous! And ne'er again shall I behold A sky more like a curtain blue, With stars like angels peeping through, mill. so sweetly Scented, so Serene, The breeze is blowing, balmy and That all doth wear a silvery sheen. blitheg A night when one forgets his care And sees only the beauty rare, When one can almost hear the call Of saints in their celestial hall. All other nights I yet shall see Will shoddily compare with thee. Fair flowers begin to appear. Even the trees seem young, almost litheg They help fill my heart with cheer. All this to me is a message glad. These omens one thought convey- Spring's here, mellow, glorious, mad! And summer is on the way. TO RAIN The day was hot and dusty, before you came, Friendly rain! Your tender fingers cooled my fevered brow, Friendly rain! Others bemoan your presence, say you spoil their holiday, They call you wretched rain! But to me you'll always be a symphony Drumming on my window pane, Friendly rain! MIST Mist is a sweet nun Walking through the country side After a summer rain. She pauses for a brief instant on the distant hill to say Amen, Then lifts her sheer grey veil, And silently moves back to her cloister. 5 --MEARLE MCBRIDE. -- One hundred seventy-two -- Ambition - Entertained! EVERYONE had been against him! The things that he had placed before him as ideals had always seemed to be the things which had driven them from him! Could you blame one for the things he had done? No! Yet they had turned against him because of them. Now, he had reached the fortnight of his debut-and he dreaded it! All that he had done had brought him here to success, and yet, those very things had succeeded in losing for him most of the things which he had held dear. I He had been to the city, and had heard there the greatest pianist in the world. Why he had been allowed to go he didnit askg but he had heard him! He had sunk down in his seat-eyes closed-and had been nearly intoxicated with the music. Then again, he had watched avidly the flying fingers of the maestro. Oh, to play like him! But he had had to come home--home to a dreary, gray, stony, New Eng- land farm. Then he began his constant nagging for piano lessons. Oh, they had tried to tell him it was impossible, but he didn't-couldnlt-believe that they were denying it him. Yet, when he realized this was true he had taken it light-heart- edly. COne was never to discover what he really thought. This he had inherited from his parents themselves-Puritans, stone-faced, cold, unexpressive, driv- ingj. So he had plodded along as a field hand-education after the eighth grade was impossible-for years and years, so it seemed, until this very ground on which he trudged became an object of his hate! His hands were becoming rough, and looking at them he saw his chances of becoming a pianist fade away into nothingness. Yet he couldn't forget his ambitions! But looking the facts in the face how could he leave-his parents were in the sixties--his mother had borne him in her middle age. He worked the farm practically by himself. Look at them! They had worked all their life to get a farm and now they were just buying one-they had drawn the money from the bank only today. The money! With it he certainly could get a start! Why didn't they give it to him anyhow? They were old and he was just starting out in life with everything before. But they wouldnytg their love of land pushed every- thing away-as did love of music for him. Could he take it? No, no, that would be dishonorable! But would it? They were old, he was young, he really needed the money, they didn'tg they would leave him the farm when they died, he'd rather have the money now, he had his future before him, they had only a few remaining years! He settled with himself and walked into the barn to finish his chores. He stole the money that night. II He tried to see her again that night, but the house was closed to him. After he had given up his frantic beating on the door he dragged himself to ia park bench and threw himself upon it. After all, is she so much to me?-Oh, but she is beautiful! It was just three months ago that we met. I was tired then with all the practicing, pract- icing, and studying I had been doing. She somehow made it all seem lighter --more beautiful. Those long hours at the piano flew like minutes when I had a meeting with her to look forward to. -- One hundred seventy-three -- But, what makes her so unreasonable? I didn't even see the child until the automobile was almost upon him! Why should I have run out into the street then?-He was doomed. I couldn't go out-I might have hurt my hands! My God, if my hands were gone what would I have left to live for? Maybe it's better this way. If I had known her longer she probably would have wanted to get married-and what could I do with a wife to hold me down? How could I study? Oh, well, let fate take its course! He pulled his coat closer about him and stumbled on down the path. III jon really had been the only friend he had ever had. After his love affair he had buried himself in work. He had never taken any relaxation. No, he had never taken any until he had met Jon, and then, just being with him had been rest itself. Oh, those happy hours he had spent with him--talking, riding, walking, discussing music. But they were all over now! Never to see him again! That is, unless Jon forgave him. But that was impossible! How had it happened?-A friend had come to Jon begging, practically, for a loan, but Jon hadn't any money. The poor fellow had come time and again pleading for the loan, and finally Jon had broken down-he was cashier at the bank and he had taken from the funds--and had given him a Htempor- ary loan. The time drew on finally when the auditors were to comeg they would find the funds missing. Jon came to him asking for a loan-Jon knew he had a large sum in the bank. Jon had been a fool! He shouldn't have expected a man to give him that money. It was to go for his trip abroad! His whole future--his whole mu- sical education-had rested in that money. He couIdn't give it up-so he refused him. Jon hadn't believed him, he thought he was joking, but then when he realized he had meant it, a veil came over his eyes. He walked into his room, threw his clothes into a valise, and walked silently out. It was March now, Jon had been in prison three months. IV Oh, but it was all over now-dead and buried! Past regrets, past for- getting! All through this he had come. He had made the right choices, for look, here he was one of the most promising concert artists-on the fortnight of his debut. But it didn't mean so much-all this he had worked for. Nothing had meant much after the automobile accident and that hasty trip to the hospital. Life was gone-now Without his hands! Oh, fate had played him fair enough! He had always done the right thing-but it just wasn't to be. He strolled over to the window. It was May now-nice to have the windows open again. Nice to feel soft, warm, breezes! He took his place on the windowsill, and glanced far down at the passers-by. A woman bobbed by below with a very queer hat, he leaned over to look closer at it. My eyes must be going telescopic-that red hat is getting closer-I feel dizzy-why it has a blue feather on it-I wish that woman would stop scream- ing! V The doctor came from the operating room pulling off his rubber gloves: It was a hopeless case. He fell twelve stories. -RICHARD BODTKE. --- One hundred seventy-four T Modern Sir Galahads IN THIS world in which we live, many have sought and groped in vain for that for which Sir Galahad of old had searched and which he finally found-the Holy Grail, which symbolizes cleanliness of body, mind, and soul. Just as Sir Galahad sacrificed the pleasure of spending his time with his lovely bride, Blanchefleur, for the renewal of his perilous quest for the Grail, so must we each day of our lives determine to set forth anew in search of clean- liness of character. Sir Galahad, inspired by the words of his beautiful young bride, set forth on his journey with the determination to find the Holy Grail. To accomplish this, his character had to be spotless. So must we, if we are to succeed in our quest, strive to absorb all that is good and clean each moment in our daily living. In all probability Sir Galahad had faced obstacles and stumbling-stones of temptation and desire. Perchance he was faced with the gigantic obstacle of discouragement, which sought to obstruct his ceaseless and tireless quest for the Holy Grail. Or, perhaps he had to meet the temptation of participating in the gay, jocund tournaments, where he could flaunt his valor and skill as a knight. If the noble and clean Sir Galahad was forced to endure temptation why should we poor and blemished moderns be exempt from it? We all must meet and overcome obstacles which seek to obstruct our progress toward higher, holier, and cleaner living. Each of us must grapple with temptation and overcome it. When such temptations as seek to keep us from our goal face us, we must learn so to desire and love that which lies on yonder side of the temptations that new strength and a determination to conquer these temptations will be given us. How, then, may we receive this coveted cleanliness of body, mind and soul? That which is lodged in the mind was received through one of the five senses-sight, hearing, smell, touch, or taste. Clean living is inspired through the intelligent use of these five senses. How important it is then that everything we read, enjoy, and experience be of such a nature that it inspire and uplift us. A clean mind is so filled with beauty and love for worthwhile things that there is no room left for anything unclean. A clean mind inevitably means a clean body, and a close and intimate relationship with God insures a clean soul. Let us then with these ideals so beautifully exemplified in the life of Sir Galahad, try to live clean, happy, noble lives. -FLOYD RAGER.

N. WOODRUFF + 4 l One hundred eighty-eight -- Manual fContinued from page 6j That the faculty has been recogniz- ed as one of superior attainment is indicated by the selection of the fol- lowing members for other positions in the Peoria school system. Joseph Mur- phy, principal of Whittier school, John Voss, principal of Washington School, Kenneth Burrell, principal of McKinley School, Mrs. Anna Head- ley, principal of Garfield School, How- ard Hunter, principal of Franklin School, Hazel Conrad, principal of Irving School, Herman I. Mercer, principal of Lee School, Minnie Peter- son, former supervisor of sewing, Bertha Case, former supervisor of cooking, and Miss Anna Tjaden, sup- ervisor of domestic science, will all be readily recalled by Manual Alumni. With constant changes taking place in the faculty and a rapidly increas- ing alumni, replacements have fre- quently been made with former stu- dents who have chosen the teaching field as a profession. So we find Gene- vieve Kroepel, Helen and Marilla McClanathan, Mabel Van Dettum, Hazel Wolf, Fred Huber, Elsie Cow- ard, Willis Harms, John Kemp, Hester Walmsley, Jack Harris, and Gray Adamson now members of the faculty of their alma mater. So, too, does our faculty refiect the educational ad- vantages provided in the community. With Bradley College, so accessible and being a teacher-training school of such high rank, there is little wonder we find that no less than eighteen teachers hold degrees conferred by that institution. Manual has had but two principals since her opening. With the resigna- tion of Mr. Brown, Manual lost a true and loyal friend. The vacancy was filled by the appointment of Mr. W. G. Russell, formerly principal of Glen Oak School, who has guided the desti- nies of the school ever since. Students appreciate his advice and the warmth of his friendship. The office force has been subject to even greater changes than has the faculty. During the past two years, Lucille Gentes and Gerald- ine Scheid, have served as attendance clerks. Ruth Stacy, the faithful and efficient secretary to the principal, is a constant source of information to student and faculty member alike. As the city's population increased, the student body of Manual also grew until in the spring of 1932 an enroll- ment of 1680 pupils, an all-time high, was reached. This number decreased the following fall, freshmen, for the first time in the history of the school, entered the Roosevelt Junior High School. There they spent but one year then entered Manual as sophomores. No commencement was held at the close of Manual's first year, the first such exercises being observed on Jan- uary 23, 1911. This class consisted of eight members, of whom seven gradu- ated: George W. Harms, Miner G. Meintz, Stella M. Pool, Emil E. Sem- low, Harry A. Sehring, Walter E. Stephenson, and Helen G. Wheeler. Agnes Quirk, the eighth member of this class, was taken by death but two weeks before graduation, and this loss dimmed an otherwise very joyful oc- casion. Since that time many have re- ceived diplomas-in recent years over 250 were graduated at the end of the school year--but it was 1935 before an additional class was graduated at mid-year. The first such class con- sisted of but twenty-seven members though each succeeding class has been marked by an increase in numbers. During the World War, one hun- dred thirty-six Manual boys offered their services to their country. Five never returned. These five boys, Gold Star boys as they are called, were: Walter Martin, who died October 18, 1918, at Camp Humphreys in Vir- ginia, Frank Powers, who died Feb- ruary 6, 1918, at Newport, Rhode Island, Willard Jones, who died Octo- ber 28, 1918, in France, Raymond Allen, who died September 29, 1918, in France, and Percy Simpson, who died May 12, 1918, in New York. As a memorial to these boys, Mrs. Wm. Allen, on December 15, 1920, created the Ray Allen Memorial Fund by the donation of a S100 Liberty bond. In- terest from this bond was used to pro- vide flowers each Armistice Day for -A Our 1 1 l glly MARILY N FOOTWE Exclusive at the New B rooks Presenting . the Season's Newest Styles in Fine Footwear f or Misses and Women ....

Together with the American flag and a poster, these formed a fitting and colorful memorial display in the Manual audi- torium and directed attention to the cost and futility of war. At the end of this time the bond was used to help purchase a bronze tablet bearing the names of all the Manual boys who had been in their country's service during the war. This was placed in the main corridor of the building by the Alumni association in the fall of 1934 where it will be a constant re- minder of the heroic service and sacri- fices of both the boy on the field and the parents at home. Upon Manual's platform have ap- peared many men and women of out- standing character and achievement. We have welcomed each and every one of them whose experiences and widely diversified knowledge have been so magnanimously shared with us. Among them Manual recalls with pride the visits of such men as Ad- miral Sims of the United States Navy on February 23, 1923, Sergeant York, of World War fame, who spoke in an assembly on November 20, 19295 Coach Stagg of the University of Chi- cago, who addressed us during the 4C campaign in 1932, and Phillip Mar- tindale of Yellowstone National Park who told of Wild Life in our National Parks and related some of the duties of a park ranger. These and many more have given us broader view points and a greater sense of the worthwhileness of living. By 1930 music was being given more attention in the schools. Our choruses had created favorable com- ment both at home and abroad and had fared well in competition. It was a source of pride when, in 1933, our A Capella Choir appeared in blue velvet robes, the girls wore in contrast surplices of shimmering gold, all of which were made by our own girls in the sewing classes. We had likewise outgrown the combined band. Our own band became a reality this same year and soon thereafter was com- pletely equipped with semi-military uniforms of black broadcloth. Trous- ers set off with orange stripes and coats decorated with gold braid were supplemented with orange spats and military caps. Thus attired, the band presented a striking appearance and did much to instill loyalty to the school and to increase the enthusiasm and fighting spirit of fans and team. A full time orchestra and band leader was added to the teaching force in 1934, and both these musical organ- izations have made a rapid and con- sistent growth ever since. In 1933, also, our stage was enlarg- ed, greater ceiling height being made available and storage decks provided. With this provision new curtains were needed. Wine colored velvet curtains for both the stage and the auditorium windows were provided the following year through the combined efforts of school organizations and individual contributions. Time-worn treads on the main stair cases were replaced in 1935, and many new floors made their appearance in halls and classrooms in 1936. On May 26, 1926, service M's were given out for the first time. These let- ters in recognition of service rendered the school, Qwhich up to this time had been rewarded in no other wayj be- came a much coveted possession, and these awards have been looked for- ward to each succeeding year with mixed feelings of anticipation and joy of achievement. A short time after Mr. Russell was appointed principal of Manual, he rec- ognized the need for pictures in our school. A Curtis Magazine Campaign was carried on to raise funds to purchase pictures. Many subscriptions were sold, and profits formed the nucleus of a picture fund. Miss Earnest went to Boston at this time where she selected six beautiful prints. Upon her return to Peoria the Manual committee on pictures, of which she was a member, decided to purchase those she had seen and admired. -ohddf Z P. A. Berqner 6.

These pictures were hung in the auditorium and at various hours of the day the students were per- mitted to view them. After everyone had had a chance to see them, a vote was taken, and those pictures receiv- ing the highest number of votes were purchased. At the close of the school year in 1922, the first two Holy Grail pictures were presented to Manual as a memorial of the senior class. Since that time several senior classes, the Senior Boys' and Senior Girls' Clubs have contributed other Holy Grail pictures, and we now have the complete set which numbers fif- teen in all. The display of these pic- tures has been enhanced by the addi- tion of individual lighting fixtures which make them more attractive at any time of day or night. This series of pictures, unusual in its setting, has created favorable comment from cas- ual visitors as well as those who are permitted to enjoy them more fre- quently. The Big Twelve of which Manual is a member, was organized in Novem- ber, 1924, and had as its avowed pur- pose the fostering of interscholastic contests among its members. Bloom- ington, Champaign, Danville, Deca- tur, Jacksonville, Lincoln, Mattoon, Peoria Manual, Peoria Central, Ur- bana, and Springfield were the orig- inal schools which composed this group, though Quincy and East St. Louis had representatives at the ini- tial meeting. In 1925, Pekin was ad- mitted to membership. Eligibility consisted of an enrollment in excess of 500 students and a location within 100 miles of Decatur. Annual spring meets have been held since the organ- ization in the different cities, Spring- field being host to the first, second and seventh meets, Decatur to the third and fourth, Manual to the fifth, Dan- ville to the sixth, Lincoln to the eighth, Champaign - Urbana to the ninth and tenth, Pekin to the eleventh and twelfth, with Central scheduled to entertain the thirteenth. During 1928, Principal W. G. Rus- sell served as president of the organ- ization. Offering the facilities of his own school for the annual get-togeth- er, Manual played host to her fellow members in the spring contests. Jacksonville withdrew her mem- bership in 1931, and Streator was ad- mitted in 1932. Changes have been made in the competitive contests from time to time as occasion seemed to require and in 1929 band and orchestra con- tests were eliminated. Nineteen thirty- live saw a further change when choral groups and solo contests were discon- tinued. For these groups the spring meet now assumes the spirit of a musi- cal festival, and, weather permitting, this part of the program will be held out-of-doors in the future. Baseball as a major sport was abandoned in 1929 but a short time after reinstated. A rotating football schedule was adopted in 1929 and amended in 1931 to provide for a six game sched- ule, natural rivals to meet annually and other schools to be met once in four years. Manual's natural rivals were designated as Central, Pekin, Lincoln, and Streator. Athletics at Manual have played no small part in the history of the school, but whether in victory or de- feat Manual students have rallied in support of the teams which always have exhibited a fighting spirit and courageous hearts. The first high school football game was played on October 7, 1911, and Pekin was the victor by a score of six to nothing. The first game played with Central was likewise a loss but by a smaller mar- gin 2-0. The season 1913, however, was begun in an auspicious manner when Elmwood was trounced by the overwhelming score of 1 17-0, this was the largest margin of victory ever made by a Manual team. Thanksgiv- ing Day rivalry with Central on the football field has resulted in but six victories and four tie scores for Man- ual as compared with a long string of defeats so consistently administered by our rivals in the early years.

Baxter Basketball too has found favor with many, and rivalry has waxed keen with such worthy foes as Central, Pe- kin, Streator, and Canton. The cul- mination of achievement, however, is to be found in successful hurdling of district and sectional competition pre- liminary to play for the state title. On four different occasions Manual teams have proved themselves worthy of such an honor. In 1912-1913 our basketball team lost a heart-breaking contest in the state tournament to a Galesburg five by a score of 37 to 36. In 1916-1917 we again made a journey to the state contests but, after winning the first two games, went down in defeat to Belvidere 16 to 6. On the third trip and under the tute- lage of Telfor Meade, Manual in 1929-1930 was declared the state champions having defeated Atwood, Beardstown, and Bloomington for the title. The following year Mr. Holliday, with virtually the same team, again won the sectional tournament but was defeated in the first game at Cham- paign by Galesburg 30 to 22. Not until the season of 1935-1936 did opportunity come again to enter a team in state competition. With Mr. Baxter at the helm, our diminutive team lost the opening round to Deca- tur in a bitterly fought contest 13 to 165 Decatur went on to win the title. Bowling, as a sport, was inaugu- rated in 1934-35 as a purely intra- mural venture. The first competitive schedules were not entered into until 1935-36 when Manual became the first city champion in this sport after a series of three roll-offs with Spald- ing. A championship in the Big Twelve was awarded Manual in baseball in 1935 and the same year we shared football honors with Springfield as the result of a tied score when these two otherwise undefeated teams met. Manual athletes hold only three records in Big Twelve track competi- tion, Bill Krautwald made a new mark in the discus with a throw of 126 feet 616 inches and pushed the shot 48 feet 81f2 inches for a record in that event. With a change in the height of hurdles Harry Otten, in 1936, also became the record holder for the 200 yard low hurdles with a time of 23.5. Albert Wiedeman for- merly held the half mile record which he won in 1932. Tennis made its initial appearance in the spring of 1934, and golf was introduced in 1926 with a reasonable amount of success in each. Boxing, given impetus by the gold- en gloves tournament of the Journal- Transcript, has found favor with many lads who are seeking entry in these contests and has resulted in the sanc- tion of the coach to use the gymnas- 4-Ohdd tyfl - TYPESETTING BY PEORIA TYPESETTING CO.

A team was organ- ized in 1935-36, and in the only com- petition provided, against Spalding, Manual boys were successful in a majority of their bouts. The student council was organized in 1922 and through its efforts in be- half of the student body, and its coop- eration with the administrative offic- ers much has been accomplished for the betterment of Manual. Originally, it consisted of four members from each of the four classes together with a mayor, elected annually, but since becoming a three year high school, it is now composed of 30 members of which 8 are seniors, 8 are juniors, 8 are sophomores, and 2 from each of the mid-year classes, the latter being ap- pointed as representatives of their class. Election time is one of great importance to those who aspire to ofhce, and ample provision is made for each to extoll his many virtues, pre- sent a platform, and seek the support of classmates and friends. The office of mayor has been filled on three dif- ferent occasions by girls though boys have proved to be the better politi- cians. Mayors have been as follows: 1936-37 192 2-23-Fred Brown 1923-24-Nelson Del Bitner 1924-2 5-Frieda Baer 1925-2 6-Olive Fernandez 1 92 6-2 7-Walter Kindelsperger 192 7-2 8-Jacob Lentz 1928-29-John Bouldin 1929-30-Lester Smith 1930-31-Harvey Cunningham 193 1-32-Kenneth Kindelsperger 1932-33 1933-34 ' 1934-35 -George Zweifel -Mary Sue White -Kenneth Zerwekh 1935-36- -Bernard Hoffman Cornelius Schaefer No factory or industrial enterprise could long exist without a worthy and satisfactory product, and no school or educational system will maintain a good reputation without the success- ful induction of its graduates into the business and civic life of the commun- ity. Peoria's industries and commer- cial houses have employed and relied upon many who have had their early training at Manual. The professions likewise have accepted many who are rapidly ascending the ladder of suc- cess. Many of these we have no means of knowing. Others have arrived at the place where national recognition has been accorded them in their various fields of endeavor. Manual admires all of them and claims with much sat- isfaction the following former stu- dents and rejoices in their achieve- ments: Irene Case, who received a Ph. D. degree from the University of Chicago and who was highly credited for her unusually difficult research work. Joseph De Ramus, poet, who has published several Volumes of verse and whose name has appeared in Who's Who in America. Lewis Skidmore, architect and grad- uate of Boston School of Technology, who won the Rouch Architect's prize and spent three years in European study and travel. He was one of the designers of the Century of Progress in Chicago in 1933 and 1934. Revere Wisterhuff, an artist of na- tional renown, who maintains a studio at Rochell, New York. His cover de- signs have appeared on the Saturday Evening Post, Liberty, Colliers, and other magazines. Paul Smith, who is in the employ of the Caterpillar Tractor Co., was con- sultant for the filming of the picture made in Hollywood and Peoria, 'fEarthworm Tractors. Walter M. Baer, who is superinten- dent of the State Hospital in Barton- ville, Illinois, and who has distinguish- ed himself in the study of mental dis- eases. 1 Many others have been equally suc- cessful in their chosen lines of en- deavor and reflect credit upon the institution which gave them early training in citizenship, trade, art, or profession. As time rolls on, we trust that Man- ual will always merit the confidence imposed in her by an eager, willing, student body and hope that in turn those who pass through her portals will appreciate the sterling qualities of her teaching force, and the interest and loyalty manifested by them in the interest of youth. -1 One hundred ty i nine 4 4 LOANS ON HOMES saw INTEREST Commercial Merchants National Bank and Trust Company Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 4 4 4 4 4 4 Adams Confectionery Opposite Manual HOT LUNCHES SANDWICHES CHILI ICE CREAM CANDY 4 4 V The Rendezvous of Young Peorians The BEE HIVE Corner Main and Jefferson Soda Fountain Balcony Food Service Complete Line of TOBACCO, SUPPLIES, PIPES 4 4 4 SENSATION Sandwich Shop IT'S DIFFERENT For Quality and Service 116 North Adams Street South Side Trust 6 Savings Bank YOUR SAVINGS BANK 2119 S.

In 1854, the Peoria Male Acad- emy, a school for boys, was erected, and two years later the first public high school was established. The cornerstone of Bradley was laid in 1897 and its rapid growth has more than justified the investment of its magnanimous donor, Lydia Moss Bradley. Thus began Peoria's educa- tional system which has so expanded that it includes twenty-six elementary and three high schools, nine parochial schools, two academies, three business colleges, and a liberal arts college of high order. Peoria's churches might also be in- cluded in the realm of education. The first Protestant c h u r c h, Lowry's Church located at Adams and jackson Streets, was built in 1835 and was followed a year later by the Main Street Presbyterian Church, which was the first church in Peoria to have a bell for calling the members to its sanctuary. The first bishop of a Protestant Episcopal Church in Illinois was the Right Reverend Philander C. Chase, who, in 1839 founded the now extinct Jubilee College, built his own home, Robin's Nest,', nearby, and spent his life ministering to the youth who trek- ked overland to his door. John Lan- caster Spalding, a man of high ideals and rare discernment became the first bishop of the Peoria Catholic Diocese in 1877, and the secondary school for boys was named in his memory. To- day Peoria has 120 churches of twenty different denominations be- sides other institutions which minister to the spiritual welfare of her citizens. GOVERNMENT In 1825, the name, Peoria, was offi- cially given to this section, and the first court was held March eighth in a cabin on the river bank, owned by one Joseph McGee, a half breed ferry-man, who was allowed 51.00 in species or its equivalent in state money for use of his log cabin for the occasion. The first courthouse was built in 1827 and was made of logs at a total cost of S75.00. In 1835, Peoria built her second courthouse, a colonial structure set well back from the street. It was made of brick and stone with four massive pillars in the front. The entire court yard was enclosed with a fence. Forty years later it made way for the present structure which was built at a cost of S248,96O.70. To top its dome a clock bell was installed which was rung for the first time on April 28, 1878. The building, con- struction of which was begun in 1876, still houses our county offices and courts and except for a ten years old wing on the Jefferson Street side and extensive repairs to its dome in 1936, remains unaltered. Incorporation papers were taken out first as a village on July 18, 1835, but on April 2 1, 1845, by popular vote the change was made to a city charter with William Hale taking the oath of ofiice as the first mayor. On April 9, 1825, Peoria's first post- office was built, and James Adams became the the first postmaster. A new building replaced it in 1871 for which ground was broken on August 25, at Main and Monroe Streets and now, in 1937, a new million dollar structure has been authorized which will be amply large to accommodate her ever-increasing mail service as well as all other federal agencies. As in all Well regulated communi- ties law and order were necessary, and law enforcement was essential. There- fore, in 1835, Peoria erected her first city jailg like her first courthouse, it was made of logs. Peoria's newest house of restraint is the county jail constructed in 1916. The first fire fighting equipment consisted of hand pumps and volun- teer firemen, but with the growth of the city more modern equipment was provided and on March 10, 1875, O. H. Norton became the first chief of a paid fire department. Motor equip- ment followed the horse-drawn en- gine. The glamor of a run and the sight of flying hoofs gave way to greater speed and efficiency. The old steam fire fighter, John Warner, long i Two hundred four --- Peoria f Continued from page 203 Q the pride of the department, found an ignominious end in the junk yard in May, 1917, as the third piece of mo- torized equipment took its place. The first city hall was built at Main and Adams Streets in 1848 and served until 1897, when the more modern structure at Fulton and Madison Streets replaced it. TRANSPORTATION For years the only means of trans- portation was by way of river or trail. The arrival of the first steamboat, in December, 1829, marked the begin- ning of a glamorous era of navigation on the Illinois which lasted until after the Civil War. Early history is replete with river lore, of schedules and land- ings of steamboats and their cargoes, many of these were Peoria-owned boats. Schedules of 1840 indicate that the trip to Chicago required 36 hours and necessitated a change from boat to stage at Peru, while the overland trip to Springfield was a sixteen hour journey. Now, nine main highways radiate from Peoria, and stream-lined buses and automobiles make rapid transitv more than a phrase. Bridges being unavailable, ferries were used to cross the river, the first was put into service in 1824. As late as 1830 no bridge spanned the river between Peoria and Chicago, and eight licensed ferries were in opera- tion. The first bridge over the river at Peoria was opened on October 27, 1849 and operated as a toll bridge until 1866 when it was purchased by the city and tolls abolished. In 1936 six bridges span the river, the latest acquisition being the 351,055,591 steel and concrete structure at the foot of Cedar Street, which was begun in 1929 but not completed until 1932. The first railroad bridge was put into serv- ice at Peoria on April 4, 1857 and had the distinction of being the first of its kind over a navigable stream in Illinois. The first train arrived via what was then known as the Peoria and Bureau Valley railroad, on November 7, 1854 and became the first outgoing train on the following morning when it em- barked on its eight and one-fourth hour return trip to Chicago. In 1855 the Eastern Extension Railroad, later the T. P. and W., was completed to Cruger, Illinois, a distance of eighteen miles. Since that time Peoria has be- come the terminal point for fourteen steam and one electric railroads. High speed, diesel-powered, air conditioned units are being made ready for the 1937 trade and are scheduled as regu- lar equipment for Peoria divisions. The Zephyr, the Burlington's stream lined train, on December 14, 1936 made the fastest run from Denver to Peoria ever made, covering the 907 miles in sixteen hours, pulling a twelve car train. The Illinois-Michigan Canal which connected the Illinois River with Lake Michigan via the south branch of the Chicago River was started in 1836 and completed in 1848 at a cost of over six million dollars. For a time it operated successfully and many cargoes passed through the seventeen locks which oc- curred in her 96 mile length. With the expansion of rail facilities it grad- ually fell into disuse and only traces may now be found of its former exist- ence. With the opening of the Chicago drainage canal, begun in 1892, and the diversion of water from the lake C1899j river traffic was given a new lease of life and boats and barges again made their appearance. On June 15, 1931, Peoria dedicated a new S400,000 barge terminal and wharf at the foot of Main Street in preparation for the shipments which by 1933 were again to leave for distant points by water. Aviation, too, made its entrance into Peoria early in the twentieth cen- tury, and a modern 200 acre airport, located but five miles from the court- house on a newly paved highway, pro- vides mail, passenger and express serv- ice to nearby or distant points. Dedica- tion of this field was made during the summer of 1932. The first airmail was dispatched much earlier, QApril 15, 1926jg Peoria has the honor of being a port on the pioneer line flown by Colonel Lindbergh, Bob Melison, and Phillip R, Love.

Early city transportation consisted of horse drawn cars to supplement the privately-owned horse drawn vehicles. The first street railway, two miles in length extending from South to Main Street and operated by four horses, was ready for service in 1869 and so well patronized that an extension was made the following year. Snow, rain, heat, and disease interfered periodi- cally with its operation, not to men- tion the unreliability of certain equine power units, which insisted on running away or seeking amusement by kick- ing the dash board to pieces. On Sep- tember 24, 1899, this was overcome when the first electric trolley car com- pleted the circuit. One-man cars ap- peared in 1921, and the first electric trolley buses were placed in service on North Monroe Street, November 13, 1931. UTILITIES In 1869, Peoria's first Waterworks system was installed, and the power plant was rebuilt in 1891 on its pres- ent site. Gas lights, to aid the noc- turnal way farer, in his efforts to keep out of the mud, appeared for the first time on November 10, 1855. From this time the process of extracting gas from coal was a Peoria enterprise. On November 12, 1932, however, a deal was effected whereby Peoria consum- ers were to be supplied natural gas from the Oklahoma fields, and local manufacture virtually ceased. Not, however, until 1883 were the streets adequately lighted. Through the in- troduction of an electric street light- ing system more illumination was pos- sible and the city assumed a metro- politan air. COMMUNICATION Early French settlers were illiter- ate, at the time of their expulsion from Peoria in 1812, no schools, news- papers, or means of disseminating knowledge were deemed necessary. By 1834, such a demand on the part of the new settlers was satisfied by publication of The Illinois Champion and Peoria Herald. Thus, on March 10, Peorians read the first issue of their newspaper, which contained an editorial favoring Peoria as a site for the state capitol. Since that time sev- eral papers have made their appear- ance generally to flourish for a brief interval, then disappear. Of these the Transcript', was the only one to live and in some measure retain its iden- tity. It started as a weekly in 1854, and the first issue as a daily appeared on December 17, 1855. The first telegraph line that con- nected Peoria with the outside world was a private line known as O,Riley's Line. Completed in 1848, with the other terminal at St. Louis, the first message was sent out on June 16. Telephones made their appearance about thirty years later, and Peoria's first telephone was leased from the Bell system on May 15, 1879. A vast network of lines and cables now cov- ers the continent and makes individ- uals, city-dweller or farmer, as close together as the nearest telephone. Peoria boasts of 24,000 such instal- lations. BANKS Peoria's earliest recognition as a desirable location was based largely on her situation in a timbered country abounding in fur bearing animals. Trading posts, dealing in pelts, grew into stores and larger mercantile es- tablishments, and other mediums of exchange eventually became neces- sary. The first bank, The Bank of Illinois, opened its doors for business in 1849 with B. L. T. Bourland as its president. Peoria grew, and likewise her financial institutions expanded. The First National Bank was organ- ized in 1863 when, by act of Congress, national banks were created and has carried on uninterruptedly since. The Central National dates back to 18795 the Commercial Merchants, to 1885. At the conclusion of the bank mora- torium in 1933 in which all U. S. banks were temporarily closed, Peo- ria's three national banks were per- mitted to reopen immediately. During 1936, deposits reached an all time high, and bank clearings in Peoria approached S225,000,000, a gain of 53 per cent over the preceding year. -Thdd 5 W W 9 HOPKINS PORTMAN'S For GaSOli1'le and Motor Oils S P O R T S M E N WASHINGTON AND GREENLAWN 122 N.

EVER Y SER VICE FOR YOUR CAR MOBILOIL MOBILGAS --- Two hundred eight -- Peoria fContinued from page 206j INDUSTRIES As an industrial and trade center, Peoria was acclaimed one of the brightest spot in the country during the depression period. Factories and manufacturing plants have increased, expansion of existing plants has been necessary, pay rolls have been main- tained, and a general feeling of pros- perity and progress prevails. But not without cause. Location, transporta- tion facilities, climatic conditions, and natural resources have all had their part in the cityls growth. She has jus- titled all predictions. Earliest records portray a city bustling with activity. Steamboats, railroads, motor trucks, and airships each in turn solicited the trade which has distributed Peoria products to the far corners of the earth. Here Charles E. Duryea pro- duced one of the first automobiles, The Glide. The purity and even temperature of the water supply made Peoria the greatest distilling center of the world. Accessibility to farm pro- ducts has guaranteed material for large feed mills. Machinery has be- come a leading product because of its access to market, raw material, fuel, and labor supply. In all, Peoria is a producer of a thousand different pro- ducts which furnish a payroll of ap- proximately 528,000,000 TRAGEDIES Peoriais rise, though consistently one of progress, has not been free from discouragements and disaster. Wher- ever masses of people congregate, wherever industry abounds, whenever the human element or machines fail, whenever abnormal weather condi- tions arise, disaster threatens. Though fortunate in her growth, Peoria too, has been beset by storms, disease, and violence, which have taken their toll of both life and property. Among these the most tragic have been: 1844-The great flood of the Mississippi and Illinois Valleys. 1849-Cholera scourge with many deaths as the disease ran rampant throughout the city and state. 1851-The steamer, 'tDakotah, blew her boilers, near the Narrows. Eighteen were killed and four fatally injured. 1852-Steamboat, Prairie State, explosion. Boilers burst, having been overtaxed with racing: 20 killed-April 20. 1858-Year of the Great Storm.

PROMINENT PERSONS IN PEORIA'S EARLY HISTORY History records the names of many men who have given unstintingly of their energy, their talents, and even their lives that new nations might be born, that new territory might be de- veloped, that cities might arise and prosper, and that government might protect and preserve that which had been so laboriously attained. Many such names appear as the Grim Reaper calls to a last reward but many others, perhaps equally deserv- ing, often fail to receive the honor so signally deserved. Any attempted list of such, therefore, would always be incomplete. Likewise, those who are now contributing so much to the pres- ent era of Peorials advancement will doubtless, be acclaimed as further ad- ditions are made to historical records. We reprint, therefore, a list containing only the names of some of those who were prominent in Peoria history Peoria - - 1905 -1- Two hundred ten f- Peoria fContinued from page 208j prior to 1900, as compiled by the Daily Record.

As a place in which to live, Peoria has many advantages. Educational facili- ties, opportunities for employment, recreation, and social contacts are un- excelled. Grand View Drive never fails to inspire the visitor. On his visit to Peoria in October, 1910, Theodore Roosevelt said that in all his travels at home or abroad, he had never seen a sight more inspiring than this pano- rama of the Illinois valley. Through the generosity of some of her citizens and by the wise investment of her Park Board, which was created in 1895, Peoria boasts of a park system of 1,552 acres which includes three municipal golf courses. -1- Two hundred eleven -1 W.

Two hundred twelve --- Peoria C Continued from page 21 Oj The I. V. Y. Club Clllinois Valley Yachtj was organized in 1907 and provides an outlet for those who seek recreation and relaxation at the beach, in the quiet solitude of Peoria lake or the channel of the Illinois. Boats of the membership are valued from S200 to 357,000 each. Bowling was first introduced to Peoria as ten pins by Arthur Baur in 1868, and the first bowling establish- ment was built at 116 Washington Street with outside alleys. Peoria to- day boasts of seventy alleys, thirty of which are to be found at the South Side Auto Parts. She has entertained the National Bowling Congress on three different occasions, in 1920, 1924, and 1933. Despite the fact that the name of Peoria has long been the butt of jokes on the legitimate stage, she has been visited by most of those men and women who have attained the highest rank of their profession and has even contributed a goodly number of tal- ented folk to the theatrical profession as well. Peorians remember well the antics and boyhood life of the inimit- able Andy, Charles J. Correll, of radio fame. MUSIC Many remarks derogatory to Peo- ria as a musical center have been made from time to time, and those who have watched the growth of musical organizations within the city resent with righteous indignation any accusations which tend to minimize the efforts of those who have given so unstintingly of time, talent, and effort in order that the lives of Peorians might be enriched by the uplifting power of music. A diary, dated 1842, contains an account of a singing school held two nights a week in a log cabin, Peoria's musical history began early. Some years later the Choral Union was born. For a time it was under the leadership of an energetic and genial young man by the name of Fish. Upon failure of his health the work was taken up by Professor Eugene Plowe, who then began a long, faith- ful, and efficient contact with all the city's musical activities. Under his guidance growth of this organization was rapid, and it set a high standard for choruses that were destined to fol- low. Early history records the out- standing work of the Grier quartet, German and Swiss singing societies, and the talents of many individuals who were generous with their gifts and who brought fame to Peoria through their tours with musical or- ganizations. Of Jeanne Powers Block, violin soloist with the famous Sousa's band, Peoria is most proud. Peorials Emma Abbott b e c a m e known internationally in the field of operatic singing. Madame Sara Don- nelly herself an operatic star, had many voices under her training and presented Emma DeBold whose name was later to blaze under the lights as a star of the first magnitude. Peorians have not been unappreciative of the talents of others. It would require a long list to recall the names of all the artists who have appeared in pro- grams in Peoria, but among those may be recounted, Fritz Kreisler, Calve, Melba, Nordica, Eames, Paderewski, Bauer, Hoffman, Gabilovitch, Ysaye, Scotti, Homer, Farrar, Galli-Curci, Schumann-Heink, Elman, Kocian, Ku- belik, Rochmanninoff, Carreno, Sousa, and Theodore Thomas. The Plowe brothers followed in the footsteps of their illustrious father, and all three attained enviable repu- tations in musical circles. In 1902 under the leadership of Warren K. Plowe, the Orpheus Club had its mod- est beginning as a group of ten men banded together to sing for their own pleasure. The Peoria Symphony or- chestra conducted by Harold K. Plowe has made constant progress in both numbers and ability since its incep- tion. The Social Hour Club and later the Amateur Musical Club have fost- ered the study of great masters, and their works and have contributed in no small way to the success of musical events in the city of Peoria. Church organs and choirs have pro- vided outlets for musical ability, the Bradley School of Music provides training for those of artistic tempera- --- Two hundred thirteen l 1 l 1 + v 4 N I C H O L S SENIORS!

Peoria is proud of those who are now devoting all their time, energy, and talent to musical pursuits, as well as, to those who find supreme satisfaction in giving of them- selves that music shall find its deserv- ed place in the community. BRIEF GLIMPSES IN '36 Nineteen thirty-six will long be remembered as a year of broken rec- ords and advancement. Contracts were let by the Board of Education for three new schools during the year, and work of construction was started. Of these the Von Steuben School on the north side, and the Coolidge School, situated in West Peoria swell the number of elementary schools to twenty-three. The Woodruff High School contract was let on a bid of 5447,000 with 525,294 additional for plumbing. On September 29 Reverend M. L.

Daylight Savings, submitted to a vote of the people on April 14, lost, as well as a proposal for a tax increase to support a municipal band.

After a great many complaints had been registered, a plank sidewalk was built across Jefferson Street at Fulton, in 1857, to en- able ladies to pass in sloppy weather with- out soiling their shoes. 1830 was long remembered as the year of the big snow. Three days and nights of uninterrupted snow fall left two to four feet on the level and as much as twenty feet in the hollows. Notice of a meeting, called for Feb. 13, 1843, to form a Peoria Anti-Slavery So- ciety aroused a stronger pro-slavery group to action.

Savings accounts are no longer popular and thrift has less meaning than in the days of Benjamin Franklin. On March 7, 1899, the banks of Peoria announced that begin- ning April 1st they would reduce interest on savings accounts from 4'Zy to 3927. Re- ductions from 395 to IWOZQ were made in 1935, and announcements to the effect that reductions to 1927 were in order for 1937 made depositors wonder whether or if they might not soon be paying for the privilege of saving. On March 18, 1858, the Journal-Tran- script urged people who had business at the court house to close the picket gates after them in order to keep cows from entering the courtyard cropping the grass and de- stroying the trees and shrubbery.

The Liberty was a sidewheeler with one smokestack, not much to look at, but the forerunner of a glamorous era of steamboats on the Illinois which lasted until after the Civil War. Emma Abbott, who later attained the highest realms of music in the operatic world, made her first appearance in Peoria at the age of four, having walked to her first performance barefooted because of the pov- erty of her family. On Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 A. M. bells and whistles announced an armistice, which was a beginning of the end of the World War. Factories and business houses closed their doors. Mayor Woodruff described Peoria as a city gone mad with patriotic joy? Clarence Herschberger, a Peoria boy, who was attributed by Coach Stagg as being one of the greatest football players to don a cleat, defeated the University of Michigan almost single-handed in 1897 when he kicked 16 of the 22 points made by Chicago University. His death occurred in 1936: this recalled the fact that he was the first western man to be named on Camp's myth- ical all-American team. Workmen, razing the home of ex-Gover- nor Dunne at 700 South Adams Street on May 23, 1913, found S200 in gold hidden in one of the walls. The contract for a workhouse wherein law violators were to work out their fines was let on June 12, 1878, and upon com- pletion was operated until the fall of 1918. During the first nine months of 1899 over 2000 bicycles were sold in the city, and all Peoria was awheel. The ferry boat line purchased by Peoria Merchants in 1834 offered free ferriage to all Tazwell and McLean County folks who desired to trade in Peoria. When the state capital was to be removed from Vandalia, Peoria was made one of the six locations which vied for the distinction. In a state-wide referendum-vote on Alton, Springfield, Peoria, Jacksonville, Vandalia, or the geographical centre of the state, Al- ton was successful, but that city surrendered the honor to Springfield later for other con- siderations. In 1855, 20 or 25 steamers and canal boats were owend by Peorians and provided jobs for more than two hundred deck hands. Recruiting officers' figures on August 22, 1862, showed that 1162 of the 2860 men eligible for military duty were enlisted in Civil War service. On Sept. 14, 1917, six prisoners of the new county jail slid to freedom from the second floor in broad daylight via a rope made of sheets. According to a city ordinance, Oct. 18, 1856, it was unlawful and punishable by fine of from one to two hundred dollars, to Hddle, sing, jump, drill, skate, run foot races, race horses, play ball, ten pins, marbles, billiards, card games, to wrestle, box, pitch quoits, fish, hunt, or engage in any other amusements on Sunday.

Peoriays bridge history is one of a series of disastrous events. The first bridge over the river, costing S30,000, was started in May, 1848, but an ice jam took it out the following April. It was not completed un- til October, 1849. A pontoon bridge, oper- ated by Alexander Partridge at The Nar- rows was burned and destroyed in 1882. High water took out the lower wagon bridge April 4, 1904, and a new Municipal free bridge built at a cost of S229,608, crumbled 19 days after its opening, April 11, 1909. Believe it or not, Peoria's greatest period of expansion and growth occurred during the years following the enactment of the Eighteenth Amendment. The State Fair was held at Peoria, be- ginning September 25, 1857, and continuing for six days. Fifteen thousand people visited the grounds daily, and horse-drawn vehicles jammed the entrances and grounds. Accom- modations for visitors were inadequate, and six steamboats, tied up at the wharves, did an enormous business in furnishing lodging and meals. Peoria has always helped her neighbor in distress. Peorians raised S3500 and sent a shipment of supplies to aid the homeless of Chicago's great fire, October 9, 1871. The marble bust of Mrs. Bradley, which occupies a niche in the auditorium of Brad- ley Hall, was received from the studio of Fritz Triebel in Florence, Italy, October 25, 1898. On July 10, 1826, occurred a public sale of newly platted lots in the original town of Peoria. These lots which were later to become downtown Peoria sold for S25 to S100 with ten per cent down and a time extension for the balance of 6, 12 or 18 months. On March 17, 1863, the sky, within a few miles of Peoria was almost darkened with low-fiying myriads of wild pigeons wending their way northward. Another flock arrived in Peoria January 18, 1936. These were not passenger pigeons but en- trants for the pigeon show and came only as passengers via express. On March 25, 1849, a Masonic cemetery was platted at Perry and Jackson streets. As the city grew the site was abandoned, the bodies removed to Springdale, and the property divided in 1873 into lots for resi- dences. Collection of a 32, state sales tax was be- gun on April 1, 1933. Inauguration of this tax on this particular day was of no signific- ance, however, and 1937 still sees its collec- tion on all purchases. When on April 11, 1911, the city govern- ment ordered the Western Union to place all wires underground they retaliated by discontinuing all free telegraphic service for city officials and removed the clocks which were furnishing free time in the city hall. Diversion of water from Lake Michigan via the Chicago drainage canal to the Illi- nois river during the low water levels of 1936 was increased 1800 cu. ft. per second to aid shipping. A Supreme Court decision permits 5000 cu. ft. per second until Decem- ber 31, 1938, after which cuts are to reduce the flow to 1500 cu. ft. per second. During the three years of its existence the H.O.L.C. CHome Owners Loan Corpora- tionj financed mortgages for a total of 393,- 387,391 on 1074 homes in the city of Peoria. Peoria's first laundry was installed in 1838, and had a mangling machine for mangling clothes, by which work is done in a superior manner at a charge of only 615 cents a dozenf' The old hand fire fighting equipment known as No. 4, which was awarded the prize in tournament competition for being able to throw water farther than any other, long since has outlived its usefulness, but may still be seen in No. 7 engine house on Knoxville Avenue. A son of Peoria, Yeoman George H. Ellis, was the only casualty of the Battle of San- tiago when Cervera's fleet was destroyed in the Spanish American War. His death oc- curred when he was struck by a stray shell on July 3, 1898. Sixty-one thousand people are buried in Peoria's cemeteries, 31,000 of these are in Springdale. The house of Moses Pettengill, at Jeffer- son and Liberty streets, which was torn down to make way for the Jefferson Hotel in 1911 was a station of the underground railway. Pettengill was an ardent advocate of abolition of slavery and a conductor of the railway system which secretly moved slaves from the South via Peoria to freedom in Canada. Property damage was extensive when on September 11, 1900, Peoria was visited by the tail of the Galveston cyclone. The statue of Columbus, on Columbia Terrace at Maplewood Avenue, was pur- chased by the Briggs Real Estate Company from the Columbian Exposition Company at Chicago, and unveiled in its present site October 16, 1902. The Peoria Chapter of the American Red Cross almost doubled their quota, raising S6800 for relief of sufferers in the 1936 spring fiood at Johnstown and raised 546,041 for work in the Ohio Valley, to aid the home- less and destitute after the high water of January, 1937. Peoria National guard companies were sent to the Hood areas of the Ohio, upon recession of the fiood waters to protect life and property. Truck loads of clothing and bedding were donated by Peorians who likewise live in a river town. These were delivered to the needy, in the stricken area, by the Salvation Army, American Legion, and other welfare agencies. --- Two hundred twenty-five --- BUSINESS DIRECTORY QUALITY DAIRY PRODUCTS PEORIA CREAMERY Better Furniture for Less-Visit Berman Furniture Co.

Faber concluded an association of many years standing on the staff of Scribner's Magazine as a wood engraver. After free lancing in this line for several years, Mr. Faber made the decision with sure farsightedness to enter the field of Photo Engraving, then in its infancy. For many years he carried on as general manager of the old Peoria Electrotype Company which later became the Peoria Engraving Company. Situated in the manufacturing center of a great agricultural district, this establishment has encountered every phase of demand that may confront such an organization. The experience thus achieved has meant advancement to a point where, the Peoria Engraving Company has a plant and personnel which represents a production source of more than adequate means of meeting the advanced needs of a large and varied clientele. QD EDWARD HINE 6. COMPANY In the year 1881 the name Edward Hine appeared as the owner of a print- ing plant in Peoria, having purchased the shop of N. C. Nason. The Nason shop was established in the early 1850's. In 1884 Mr. L. F. Feuchter became a member of the firm and the name was changed to Edward Hine and Company. Both of these men were of the practical type, Mr. Hine a compositor and Mr. Feuchter an expert in the pressroom. This combination immediately developed an ability to deliver fine quality work and Quality has continued to be the watchword ever since. The first location of the business was at 400 South Adams. In 1904 the company moved into 307 and 309 South Washington Street and in 1936 leased the building next door at 311 South Washington Street. In 1893 Mr. Fred A. Feuchter became associated in the business. He is now Vice President and General Manager. In 1916 Mr. Allen T. Hine entered the employ of the firm and is now the President. The second generation have had active charge of the business since the year 1924 when the founders retired. The year 1930 saw the third generation enter in the business when Mr. Benjamin L. Feuchter became associated with the Company. Ben as he is popularly known developed rapidly in the printing business and is now the Secretary-Treasurer of Edward Hine 85 Co. This company has builded a reputation for fine quality work, especially color printing. Over 95 per cent of its business is color work. Also they have a complete service department which can create and design a small folder or a complete campaign. The fundamental principles laid down by the founders have maintained leadership for Edward Hine and Company in the printing industry of Central Illinois. Fairchild Aerial Surveys Inc.

The MIRROR, like many other leading annuals, started using MOLLOY MADE covers away back when -and the MOLLOY trademark on the cover of this 1937 issue is the best evidence of an eminently satisfactory standard of quality and service throughout the country. THE DAVID I. MOLLOY PLANT THE S. K. SMITH COMPANY 2857 North Western Avenue CHICAGO, ILLINOIS i Two hundred thirty-two i History Tends to Repeat Itself In 1853, the first annual report of the Board of School Inspectors stressed a shortage of schools and a deficiency in funds. Reports in 1936 showed little change in these respects. In 1868, heat and drought seared crops, and chinch bugs invaded the corn. 1936 was hotter and dryer and chinch bugs still do great damage despite con- certed efforts at extermination. In 1858, Uncle Tom's Cabinn was the principal stage show in Peoria. 1930 saw its revival and the W. P. A. players included it in their repertoire at the Majestic in December, 1936. In 1898, Mayor Warner ordered all slot machines confiscated. Other mayors have done likewise, but they have re-appeared. We still have a few in 1937. In 1857, parking problems arose due to a shortage of hitch racks. In 1936 automobile drivers try to find a parking place for their automobiles. In 1870, Peoria was becoming known as a distilling center. Pure water, raw materials, fuel and transportation are the same inducements for repetition in 1937. In 1848, the Illinois-Michigan canal promised relief from transportation troubles by opening a waterway to the gulf. New dams and locks in conjunction with the drainage canal re-enact the scenes and provide grounds for the same promises in 1937. In 1838, the Peoria Lyceum debated whether or not liquor should be sold. Passage and repeal of the eighteenth amendment has since occurred. With increased accidents and distribution problems unsolved, it is still a topic for discussion in 1937. In 1845, the low water level permitted only those steamboats which were able to run on a dew drop to navigate. In 1936 barges were grounded and an increased fiow from Lake Michigan was necessary to permit moving of cargoes. In 1848, free silver was a big problem before Congress. With no gold in circulation and the banks full of silver, the American people are now confronted with a silver problem in 1937. In 1930, eleven deaths due to heat were reported in 48 hours. Highest temperature recorded was 109V2 degrees. In 1936ideaths in July increased 700 per cent over the normal death rate for the same month in previous years and a new heat record of 113.2 degrees was reached. Native savages of Peoria county are reported as having worn as few clothes as possible. Women and braves painted their faces, wore rings in their ears and danced to the sound of the tomtom. Many changes have since taken place. Native Peorians remember the coarse home spuns of the pioneer, the hoop skirt of the sixties, the bloomer girls of the gay nineties, the hobble skirts of 1910, the exposed knees of 1930, and the scanties of 1936. Change is imperative and it is predicted brave women of Peoria, in 1937 will paint their faces, wear ear rings, dance the rhumba and wear less clothes than the Indians, 1- Two hundred thirty-three -- + 6 Professional Directory DR.

My L j XJ 5 Epilogue IT HAS been said that All good things come to an endf' but so like- wise, do all other things. So, as you come to this the last page in your yearbook, we beg you not to criticise too harshly. We are aware of its many shortcomings and ask that you remember only any virtues or items of merit that may be con- tained within its pages. We have striven, during long hours, to gather the material which is contained herein, have spent many restless nights in its composition, have read, re-read, and then read again the copy, which has seemed to us an almost endless task. But at last it is completed. Ornissions are doubtless many, errors in spite of our efforts, plentiful, and yet, we hope you will enjoy not only its contents and the memories which it will awaken in later years, but appreciate, as we, the sympathetic interest and gen- erous assistance given us by our many friends and admirers. Without our benefactors, the advertisers, this book would have been impossible. To our faculty members who have rendered assistance, especially to Mr. Hardin, Mr. Hall., Mr. Landers, Mr. Hilling, Miss Earnest, and to Miss Stacy we owe a debt of grati- tude. To Mary Sutcliff, whose picture does not appear on the Mirror Staff pages, but who has served as well and faithtfully as any other, and to those of the student body who have subscribed for this book we express our appreciation. To the following persons and firms who have aided us in various ways to further this publication we extend our thanks: The Pyke Studio. Mr. George Cramer and the Daily Record. The Peoria Star. The Peoria journal. Mr. Walter Whitney and the Nash Studio. The Peoria Chamber of Commerce. Sutliff 85 Case Co. Mr. W. D. Speight. Mr. Alvin Streitmatter. IT IS DONE Y' And if, as you glance through this volume, You rejoice in the things it recalls N You live once again 'mongst school-day friends- And travel through Manua1's halls, V ' XG K It matters not the hours weive spent-the energy or tears For Manual spirit carries on Despite the passing years. -THE STAFF.
