Sx-HJtbrtH Fred J. Pannwitt Editor Stephen Yates Busi n ess Ma nager Jf OLD NOKOH 17� -I931 I 1 Unlump XVI itblt8ljr by S tnbrnt Snby of Noknmis (Tmmuiliiy ®iiUi £ rhool Nnknmis, JUlinnia The year 1932 brings to its the two-hundredth anniversary of the birth of one of America’s greatest leaders— George Wash ington. During the critical Revolutionary Period, Washington struggled against adverse conditions of finances and feeling to bring about the successful Union which exists today in far greater proportions than Washington ever dreamed of. To an infinitesimal degree, we, the Staff of 1932, are experiencing a few of the difficulties under which the Colonists labored, and we can to some extent appreciate the, abilities of the Revolutionary Colonists and their great leader. It is for these reasons that we have chosen the Colonial theme in our attempt to capture the spirit of N.T.H.S. in this volume of “Old Nokomis.” ifMrattmt To George Washington and his followers, to whom we owe our existence today as future citizens of a free nation, we respectfully and affectionately dedicate this Kith volume of “ Old Xokomis.” QJabU of (fnittonts SCHOOL Staff Administration Classes ATHLETICS Football Basketball G.A.A.

Commercial Lair So (ilip faculty We owe a debt of affection. A debt we can never repay, To the teachers who. patient and smiling, Are the pilots along our Life’s way They have been truest of comrades. Persevering, untiring their deeds; Though great enough for Life’s greatest task. They’re small enough for our petty needs. When a task, a Mountain of learning, Looms ahead and the thunder-clouds roll. They point to the trail ’round the valley That leads, at last, to our goal. While we trudge along in the darkness, Bitter, exclaiming. “Unfair!”, They lift up their faces to Morning And show us the Light that lies there. Their task is thankless and dreary But they are unfaltering, steadfast. For theirs is the Dream of great beauty That carries them on to the last. To the Teachers, builders of our Nation, We offer our homage and praise; We owe to them the honors and blessings That may come to enrichen our days. —Grace Thompson. - '•( 9 - R. A.

Colors: Blue and Gold. Flower: Marigold. Senior Class History In September, 1928, one hundred sixteen Immigrants set out for the port of X.T.II.S. On our ship the Captain was Donald Ilusman. Eleanor Myers was First Mate; Fred Pannwitt, Purser, and Lavonne Meinzer, Chief Steward. To help us on our voyage we chose Mrs. Eekhoff and Mr. Myers. We landed for a few days on an island where the Fishing Company (Sophomores) gave us a party. We had a lovely time and, after wishing them good luck, set sail. Our ship was very suddenly caught in a terrible storm (exams). We survived but had lost our course. We again passed the Fishing Company’s island and gave the company a party. Finally, after nine months of hard sailing, we sighted land and landed for a three-months’ rest, which we needed badly. Our second year we took up fur trading. In our post, David Kessinger was President; Lila Cnderwood, Vice President; Martin Kniker, Secretary-Treasurer; and Winifred Hand, Employees’ Advisor. Our board of directors was Miss Pircher and Mr. Schilling. We had a contest to see who could sell the most pelts (annuals). We won third place. The season was good for trapping but we had a terrible Indian attack (exams), which most of our band survived. The Freshman ship landed in our port and we gave them a party. They returned later and gave us one. Warm weather came, so we laid aside our work for a while. The third year we established a colony. Leonard Seletto was Governor; Helen Ruppert, Lieutenant-Governor; Frank Kettelkamp, Secretary-Treasurer; and Lottie Wyld, Burgess. Miss Spelbring, Mrs. Beatty, and Mr. Stumm were council members. We had a terrible winter with many snows (exams). Several of our colonists had to drop out. Spring and fair weather came and we gave a neighboring settlement a banquet. It was hard work but a howling success. The settlers had given us a nice party during the winter. After three months of rest we organized a nation. Elio Tosetti was President; Mildred Cassidy, Vice President; George Spengel, Secretary of the Treasury; Lavonne Meinzer, Speaker of the House; and Fred Pannwitt, Chairman of the Finance Committee. Miss Yackle and Mr. Stumm were the cabinet members. Our nation was progressing nicely when internal troubles (exams) broke out. After this Civil War, peace was again established. We gave our neighboring territory, the Alaskans (Juniors), a party and now all we can look forward to is the banquet they will give us, and our passports (diplomas). After we have received these, we can go out and enter into foreign relations. We hate to leave our country and hope that our later travels may be as happy and successful as these have been.— (l.u.) 19 )J- Senior ('lass Will We, the Senior Class of 1932, being of sound mind and sane body, do hereby give and bequeath------- To the Faculty, a hope that they will forgive 11s for all the trouble we have caused them in the past. To the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, our books of etiquette, studious habits, and the high standards we have set for them. As individuals, we wish to arrange for the distribution of our personal belongings as follows: I, Margaret Bates, leave my bashfulness to Ernest Kopec. I, Priscilla Bates, leave my quiet and unassuming ways to Margaret Chismar. I, Belford Bauman, leave my reputation as “lady’s man” to Ed Vandever, providing he fulfills the title better than 1 have. I, Robert Bowes, leave my beloved necktie to Daniel Bost. I, Marguerite Brakenhoff, leave my sisterly love to Wilma, providing she returns it. 1, Eloise Brockman, leave my hatred of men to Helen Schneider. We, Paul Brunkhorst and Frank Kettelkamp, leave our winning smiles and good looks to John Doiss. I, Harry Carroll, leave my love for all girls to Alfred Johnson. 1, Wilber Carroll, leave my love for chemistry to Bade that he may add it to his deep affection. I, Mildred Cassidy, leave my innocent stare to Mary Furimsky. We, Mario Costa and Ludwig Tokoly, leave our height to Robert Sneddon and Robert Goodwin.

A cloud of blackness shuts me out from the world. 1 hear voices, I see light. Shall I open my eyes or not ? I do. The light is very bright, but 1 recognize the face bending over me. It is Frank Kettelkamp. In answer to my queries I receive the information that Frank has become a leading physician of the day. Following the wreck of my Ford 1 had remained in an unconscious condition, but Frank, after many years of research, had finally succeeded in bringing me back to consciousness by a very delicate operation yet unknown to the world of surgery. I raised myself very slowly and surveyed the scene which met my gaze. I looked into the faces of many of the people in the room, and many i recognized. There was Paul Brunkhorst, also an acting surgeon. On closer scrutiny I recognized the two nurses as Margaret Vernetti and Barbara Ilarvatich. 1 regained strength rapidly and was soon able to go out and become used to this new world before me. 1 was met at the door by John Verceilotti and Dale Dilley, star reporters for the Tribune and the Sun. 1 moved on, discovering at every turn some old classmate. All of them had found a life work. Margaret Bates and Mildred Ekkers had both succeeded in starring in Ziegfeld’s new production, Modern Follies. Priscilla Bates was still residing in Nokomis. Belford Bauman had taken over a farm and was doing exceptionally well. Robert Bowes had taken up secretarial work.

Doris Hines had become instructor in the Nokomis School of Cookery. 1 found Frank Houck experimenting on a new type of soybean. - 22 Lloyd Ilubbard had finally succeeded in opening up an air route from America to Asia via the North Pole. Joe Jachino and John Jachino were still explaining their family relations. Joe Karmazinas was playing professional football after having made good in the sport in college. David Kessinger had realized bis life’s ambition and was playing shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinals. Hugh Keller was driving a new Silver Streak 24 of his own design in the annual Indianapolis speed classic. Doris Kettelkamp had attained a degree of fame through her ardent work as a matron at the Smith’s Orphanage.

Wilma Redeker had achieved quite a name for herself by the unfailing services she had rendered in different welfare societies of Nokomis. Albert Roberts had followed a life of sports and had had the honor of attending the Olympics as an all-around athlete. Demure Meditations was Helen Ruppert’s newest book and was well worth one’s time. Mary Rolinaitis had starred in two Broadway bits and was preparing to make her debut in the movies. Merle Sloat had taken up negro impersonations and had achieved success. George Spengel had become A1 Roberts’ manager and was showing the same efficiency he showed at N.T.H.S.

Junior ('lass History In 1929, we, the present Junior Class, started as pioneers from the old settlement (Grade School) to begin a new life. We founded the Freshman Colony, consisting of ninety people. We needed order in our new homes so we elected as overseers and officers Mr. Myers, Mrs. Eekhoff, Harriet Challans, Dick Engelhart, Anna Kurilla, and Everett Lewev. We settled near the Sophomore Colony, with whom we had many good times. We had been a peaceful colony for nine weeks until the Indians (Exams) attacked us; but we shouldered our guns (brains) and they helped us win the battle. During the year we suffered three more attacks from the Indians, but were able to resist all of them with few casualties. However, we felt ourselves in a very dangerous place and we were anxious to make new discoveries, so we settled a new colony and named it Sophomore. We needed some new overseers and officers so we elected Miss Pircher, Mr. Cosner, Raymond Goodwin, Ruth lTnderwood, Anna Modak, and Ellen Kanke. We had remained only nine months in this settlement when we again became anxious to move on. We made a third settlement and named it the Junior Colony. We elected Miss Ronchetti, Mr. Barth, Darwin Gibson, George Bertolino, Helen Read, and Nellie Carroll as overseers and officers for the new colony. We gave a play entitled “Dangerous Men,” and we entertained the Seniors very appropriately at the Junior-Senior banquet. We had sixteen colonists on the honor roll, six on the football team, and nine on the basketball team. One day some highly educated people told us of a place where we could raise great crops of knowledge, so we have gathered our people together and have decided to make one more journey, which we hope will make us prosperous.—(b.k.)

Sophomore ('lass 11 istory On a fine September morn in 1930, ninety-eight nervous Freshmen became new members of the X.T.II.S. colonies. With the able assistance of our class officers and sponsors, Mrs. Eekhoff and Mr. Myers, we did our work so well that we were permitted to push on into unknown territories at the end of the year. We Freshmen had had important parts in the various school entertainments. When we returned this year to continue our duties in our respective colonies, greatly refreshed by our vacation, many old faces were missing and in their places new ones greeted us. We held a meeting at which we elected Vernon Buescher, President: Vladimir Sanuskar, Vice President; Winifred Geiss, Secretary-Treasurer; and Lena Florini, Student Council Member for tin coining year. In the fall we entertained the Freshmen with an Overall and Apron party, at which all enjoyed themselves. We are all living with the highest hopes that the end of this year will find us a few miles nearer the territory which we have made our destination, (h.i., a.e.)

Freshman Class History On September 1, 1931, one hundred ten of us emigrated from our old home (Grade School) to organize a small community in the land of X.T.Il.S. We were new to the customs and language of our chosen country but we all learned rapidly and overcame the obstacles which placed themselves in our path. We lacked order in our village, so we held a town meeting and elected a Hoard of Trustees consisting of Miss Spelbring and Mr. Cosner (Honorary Members), Jacob Geiss, Armand Tosetti, and Dorothy Schaefer, with Mary Cibery as our Clerk. On October 23, 1931, a neighboring city (Sophomores) welcomed us with a party, which favor we returned later. Soon, a smallpox epidemic (exams) swept the village, but most of us escaped with only a few bad marks (on our report cards). Thirteen of us were placed on an honor roll for our success in fightimr the dread disease. Every morning twenty-three of our boys drill on the bowling green (gym floor) in order to be able to uphold the honor of our country in the future. For the present, that is all, but we hope that soon we may advance enough that we may become a vital part of X.T.Il.S. and then enter into the foreign relations so desirable to everyone.

The sensational running of Johnny Varda in his first football game was a pleasant surprise to home fans and a shock to Blue Mound. In the first and third quarters, Blue Mound held Nokomis scoreless, but in each of the second and fourth quarters, Nokomis scored three times. Varda raced across once, while Gibson, Dove, and Dilley each made a touchdown. LIVINGSTON, 0; NOKOMIS, 54 Livingston came to Nokomis with the same team that came last year, and met with the same fate. Nokomis scored almost at will, and Darwin Gibson, the hard plunging fullback, crashed over for four touchdowns, while Varda and Dove each scored twice. GILLESPIE, 7;.NOKOMIS, 14 The Nokomis boys were not aware that they were to enter into a real battle, but the Gillespie boys were primed for this game as they hail their eye on the conference. That night Nokomis was superior in all phases except punting, and the wonderful punting of Gibbons, a Gillespie boy, nearly kept the home team in check. Time after time the Nokomis team took the ball deep into Gillespie territory only to lose it on downs and then see it punted back into its own territory. After a series of plunges, end runs, and passes, Nokomis carried the ball to the five yard stripe and then scored on a short pass to Tokoly. A plunge for the extra point, and the score was 7 to 0. But Gillespie would not give up, and by virtue of two long passes and a short end run, tied the score as the half ended. The second half saw the continuance of a real battle, and in the closing minutes Nokomis scored the deciding counter on a pass, Varda to Roberts, who lateraled to Florini, who, in turn, ran forty yards for the winning touchdown. LITCHFIELD, 0; NOKOMIS, 32 Nokomis next defeated Litchfield 32-0. Both teams were crippled, but Nokomis was the victor from the start. Dilley showed up well in this game by his return of punts, and in the third quarter lie broke through on a line plunge and ran thirty yards for a touchdown. Varda, Gibson, and Florini romped across for the remaining four touchdowns. STAUNTON, 0; NOKOMIS, fi In the game with Staunton, one of the strong contenders for the South Central Championship, Nokomis walked off with a fi to 0 victory. This was the first defeat of the year for Staunton, who later was to do Nokomis the favor of trimming Hillsboro. Staunton had. much power but never threatened the Nokomis goal line. Gibson plunged over in the first period for the only touchdown of the game. Nokomis displayed its usual brilliant brand of football, and Karmazinas and Tony Varda were playing an extraordinarily good game in the line. Staunton opened with a spread attack in the second half, but Nokomis stopped it. - v-f 39 ) - The OLD ISO KOMIS _c Ur 1032 HILLSBORO, 0; NOKOMIS, () This was the greatest battle of the year, and, although it was a non-conference game, hundreds of rooters followed Nokomis to Hillsboro. In tin first half, the ball was constantly in Hillsboro territory, and Nokomis passed up several chances to score. In the first quarter, on a lateral pass, Carroll to Varda, Varda raced 35 yards to the 8-yard line. Nokomis then lost the ball on a fumble, and Hillsboro punted out of danger momentarily. By way of end run and plunges, Nokomis took the ball to the 30-yard line, and on the third down a long pass, Varda to Roberts, was attempted, but the ball skidded over Al’s finger tip-, and Nokomis lost the ball. In the second half, Hillsboro kicked, and Nokomis immediately lost the ball on one of the many intercepted passes. From then on Nokomis was scarcely ever out of danger, and four times Hillsboro threatened a touchdown but failed by inches; the Red and Black line held as it always had done in a tough spot. Nokomis punted out, and when Hillsboro attempted a pass, it was intercepted and the ball was carried to the 30-yard line. Nokomis passed successfully to the 15-yard line, but a second pass was intercepted, and the game was over. ASSUMPTION, 0; NOKOMIS, 34 Nokomis took the ball from the kickoff, and from then on the game was steady advances to touchdowns. Dove returned punts in this game, and on one return he ran all over the field evading Assumption tacklers, but finally was tackled, as he slowed up to nearly a walk, on the 10-yard line. Johnny broke loose for a 50-yard run and a touchdown, while Glasgow and Gibson also romped across. SIIKLBYVILLE, 0; NOKOMIS, 19 Although Nokomis did not display such brilliant football, it was good enough to trounce Shelbyville. In the first quarter Nokomis pushed across a counter, hut that was all Shelbyville would allow until the second half, when the Nokomis boys regained their stride. Gibson and Florini hit the line for steady gains, while Varda and Dilley skirted the ends. PANA, 0; NOKOMIS, 39 On the annual Armistice day game with Pana, Nokomis ruled the field, although it was a wet one. In the first half, neither Pana nor the mud could slow Nokomis. Red Carroll returned punts well and hit the line for several gains. In the second half, Pana displayed a better brand of football and held Nokomis to 13 points. TAYLORVILLE, 0; NOKOMIS, 13 This was Nokomis’ last game of the season. A great throng of rooters followed to see Nokomis cinch a South Central Conference Championship and retain a clean slate for the season, but Taylorville was determined otherwise. Four of the Nokomis men had been injured, and they had had only two light practices all week, but by Friday they were ready to go. Both touchdowns were made in the first half. In the last quarter, Taylorville carried the ball deep into Nokomis territory on passes from a spread formation. - ■{ 40 (• Basketball Top Tfoir V. budnltls, 1 . Costa. V. I’ucscher. F. Loeacius, .1.

The half found Nokomis on the short end of a 12 to 9 score. In the second half, the boys improved and featured a short passing attack that won the game. NOKOMIS 29—FILLMORE 17 This was the second game of a double-header. The second team started and played the game until the half. It was a hard tussle for the second team and they had to be replaced by the first team, who easily defeated Fillmore. NOKOMIS 25—WAGGONER 21 This was another early season game that was harder than expected and the score was close from beginning to finish. J. Varda and Bertolino went out on fouls before the end of the third quarter, but the reserves held and won. NOKOMIS 23—PANA 15 Pana put up a real fight the first half but in the second half Nokomis came back strong and piled up a safe lead. NOKOMIS 22—TAYLORVILLE 21 This game was a thriller all the way. Nokomis was never in the lead until the final minute, when A1 sank one from the field to tie the count and Johnny came through with a free shot to win the game. NOKOMIS 17—HILLSBORO 21 This was the first defeat of the season. It was a close game to the finish and at the end of the first quarter the score was tied 3-3. Hillsboro led 8-7 at the half and 13-12 at the end of the third quarter. In the last quarter Hillsboro collected nine points while Nokomis could get only five. NOKOMIS 18—WITT 28 This was Nokomis’ second straight defeat, this time from Witt. Nokomis did not show up well in this game and missed several baskets. NOKOMIS 32—PANA 11 Nokomis took Pana again, this time with more ease than before. A1 and Dove got hot and slid them in from all angles while the team was playing a real game. NOKOMIS 36—ASSUMPTION 16 Nokomis was clicking again and although the Assumption team was playing a good game, it was no match for the Red and Black and the game ended 36 to 16. Bertolino came through with a nice defensive game and scored nine points from his guard position. NOKOMIS 34—MT. OLIVE 28 Mt. Olive took a 9-1 lead before the first quarter was up but Nokomis came from behind and at the half led 20-12. Mt. Olive came back strong in the third quarter but Nokomis scored several baskets in the closing minutes and won 34-28. NOKOMIS 28—WAGGONER 10 This time it was not so hard to trample Waggoner and at the half Nokomis led 20-1. In the second half the second team played. NOKOMIS 51—SHELBYVILLE 15 In this game the Red and Black really hit their stride and although Shelby brought a good team, Nokomis ran away with them 51-15. Johnny and A1 were working great and Johnny scored 18 points. NOKOMIS 20—MT. OLIVE 11 Nokomis went to Mt. Olive and won 20-11. The Red and Black quintet took an early lead and held it throughout the game. - 42 )j - NOKOMIS 21—WITT 24 Nokomis went to Witt only to be defeated. Witt took an early lead which was never more than 3 points. Nokomis tied the count in the third and in the last quarter only to lose it again. NOKOMIS 38—COFFEEN 25 This was Nokomis’ first game in the county tournament and. although the team did not display top-notch form, it was good enough to defeat Coffeen. NOKOMIS 16—LITCHFIELD 14 Nokomis met Litchfield in the second round of the tournament and Litchfield jumped to an early lead of 8-0. At the half, Nokomis trailed 11-4, at the end of the third quarter 13 to 11. In the final quarter a free throw and two field goals put Nokomis in the lead. NOKOMIS 10—HILLSBORO 17 Nokomis met Hillsboro in the championship game but Hillsboro was too much. At the half. Nokomis trailed 6-3 and at the end of the third quarter 10-7. NOKOMIS 23—LITCHFIELD 22 This was another close one and it took two overtime periods to settle it. Bertolino went out on fouls and Bill Gudaitis filled his position and helped win the game. NOKOMIS 46—SHELBYVILLE 20 Again Nokomis played superbly against Shelbyville and easily walked away with the game. Whiz, Grote, Al. Dove, and Bertolino were the starters and all were high in the scoring. NOKOMIS 46—ASSUMPTION 21 Nokomis continued playing a real brand of basketball and again romped over Assumption 46 to 21. At the end of the first quarter the score was tied, but after that Assumption had little to say. NOKOMIS 22—TAYLORVILLE 11 Again Nokomis defeated Taylorville, and this time it was not such a close affair, as the Red and Black warriors took an early 8-0 lead and Taylorville never came any nearer. NOKOMIS 25—LITCHFIELD 23 This was the third straight time that Nokomis defeated Litchfield, and this game, like the other two, was a real battle, and was not settled until the final shot was fired. NOKOMIS 20—HILLSBORO 30 It seemed that H-i-l-l-s-b-o-r-o was another way to spell defeat and for the third time Nokomis came out on the wrong end of the score. The half ended 17-7. The second half was hard fought but Nokomis could not overcome the lead. NOKOMIS 29—ASSUMPTION 24 This was the third time that Nokomis met Assumption, this time in the District Tournament. Instead of Nokomis’ walking away with Assumption as had been done two previous times. Assumption began walking away with Nokomis until late in the final quarter, when Nokomis broke loose and scored 17 points to come from behind and win. NOKOMIS 24 HILLSBORO 25 Fov the fourth straight time Nokomis was defeated by Hillsboro, this time by the narrow margin of one point. In the final quarter Hillsboro took a 25 to 16 lead. With but 3 minutes to play, as in the previous night, Nokomis got hot. Whiz made two free throws, Grote came right back with a follow-up, and Whiz came back with a jump-in-the-air-and-turn-around shot which was followed by a nice bank shot from the side, by Gibson. That made the score 24 to 25, and with 30 seconds et to play. Dove was given a free throw but missed. Immediately after, several follow-up shots refused to go in and as Nokomis was desperately shooting for the basket, the timekeeper ended the game.

SUMMARY Two “spinsterish ” spinsters, the Tilden sisters, were notorious manhaters. Their nephew bet one of his college chums that lie (the chum) couldn’t get into their apartment. This college chum disguised himself as a girl, and his fiancee, who was a friend of the Tildens, smuggled him into the Tilden apartment. His disguise was discovered and much excitement was caused because of his disappearance from home. He was finally located and everyone “lived happily ever after, for his father turned out to be the younger sister’s long lost lover. A criminal, posing as a preacher, also deepened the plot considerably and a lady detective made a mess of almost everything. -• (18 )§ ■ 1932 I h- OLD NO KOMIS Pep dub Isabella Ruth Wilma Marguerite Lavonne Elsie Catherine Lily Gertie Helen Sa ra h Ellen Lorell Eileen Lorene Hazel Doris Anita Dorothy Ma rgaret Joy Jane Margaret Annajane Marguerite Ruth Ruth Nelinda Angeline Anna Jerry Elizabeth Anna Geraldine Katie rinc Neuvella - -H 49 - The OLD NOKOMIS 1932 Big Sister Club Top roir K.

At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Lavonne Meinzer; Vice President, Marguerite Brakenhoff; Secretary-Treasurer, Mildred Cassidy. Mrs. Eekhoff, the dean of girls, sponsored the club. The object of this club was to help the Freshman girls as much as possible, so each Senior girl chose a Freshman girl for her little sister. Bv way of welcoming the Freshmen, the Big Sisters gave an informal party in the assembly on Friday, Sept. 17. Then in January the Big Sisters joined with the G.A.A. to present the Pageant, which was very well received. Mrs. Eekhoff presented the idea of this club last year, and this year tho idea was taken up and worked out very successfully. The Big Sisters of ’32 hope that the Senior girls to come will continue with this work.— (i.ottie w.) S{50) F. F. A. Top roif- II. Dirks. (J. Hinton. .1. Susljo, L. Stanley. B. Kopec, F. Tossi.

Plato says, “The soul is a harmony.” Every emotion, every phase of life, from the cradle to the grave, can be expressed in musical terms. Taine says, “Music is a cry.” The best and truest definition of them all is “Music is the voice of Nature.” Music began with the creation. The murmur of waters, the song of the birds, the winds whispering through the trees, even the rocks in the everlasting hills gave us music. Travelers tell of a cave in Scotland through which currents of air pass in such a manner that there results therefrom a faint but distinctly audible melody. Plutarch tells us, “The ancient Greek philosophers and legislators considered music a necessary part of education, as having the power to soften the savage rpialities of the disposition and give men a sense of propriety.” Music is regarded by physicians as a remedial agent. A number of years ago an association was formed in New York to introduce music into all hospitals, physicians claiming that music had a beneficial effect, even aiding materially in the cure of mental disorders. The soldier on the field of battle, wakened by the bugle call, shoulders arms and marches against the foe, to the stirring sound of fife and drum, which puts courage into his heart and inspires him to fight and, if need be, die for home and native land. - 4 52 )9 Chorus Top row V.

The composers of the Northern countries, Russia, Poland, Norway, etc., have given us music that is weird, heavy, sombre in color, often joyless in effect; it voices their endless struggle for liberty and existence. Very different from these is the music of Italy with her blue skies, and of France and sunny Spain. In Italy the dingiest opera house gives as many works in one year as the Metropolitan in New York gives in ten years. Between them comes the music of Germany, scholarly, full of deep feeling, love of home and the beautiful. The music of India and other Eastern countries is mystical, religious or as some might say, superstitious. Their music is peculiar in that the semi-tone is divided once again. Our own Indian music, to us unintelligible, as is their language, is symbolic of their daily life. They sing their legends of birth, of death, of animals and birds, who with themselves are children of the Great Spirit. Joseph Jefferson pays this beautiful tribute to music: ‘‘I have always loved music, and I would not give away for a great deal the little that I know about it. I am not at my ease with those who have a contempt for music. Music is like discipline—it makes man sweeter, more virtuous, and - 53 }• « - wiser. Sewing ( 'lass L.

Hard This year we have eleven girls in our sewing class. Each one is striving to be a good seamstress. Miss Spelbring says a good seamstress is accurate, clean, knows the styles and materials, and also knows the type of dress appropriate to the occasion. Besides learning to sew, we are learning to recognize different kinds of materials. There are five fibers used in the textile world: cotton, linen, silk, wool, and rayon or artificial silk. Being able to recognize these means easier shopping and wiser buying. Our first garments are of cotton. We use this material first, as it is the easiest to handle and is least expensive. After this, we will work on silks and other materials, which should be handled by experienced seamstresses. We are getting some practical experience this year. Just after our cotton projects, we helped out the orchestra by making six capes and caps. Next, we patched the football sweaters. -■ S{54)§ - Cooking Class Top row I . KcttHknmp. W. Hunter, II.

Perhaps that helps to account for the large number enrolled this year. But just the same we are learning to prepare good, common, simple, and attractive dishes. The year’s work is divided into three divisions: breakfasts, luncheons, and dinners. Each division includes not only instruction in the preparation of the dishes common to that particular meal, but in how to prepare and serve that type of meal. Table manners are also studied at these meals. The laboratory is kept clean by housekeepers. Each girl takes her turn of a week at each particular task, so that each has a chance at all types of housekeeping. In fact, by the end of the year, a kitchen is a familiar place. - 55 - (Cafeteria The line-up for the noon-day lunch ! This line is sometimes long, sometimes short. The idea of a school lunch or cafeteria is to put out a warm lunch as reasonably as possible. Our idea the first of this year was a twenty-cent plate lunch. Due to lack of selection for our patrons we changed to a truly cafeteria plan. Now everything is in five-cent portions and our patrons may help themselves. Miss Spelbring has charge of the cafeteria, and is assisted by Miss Emma Schniepp, who is in charge of the preparation of the meals. The fourth hour, two girls help to complete the meal, serve, and slack the dishes. - 56 - Our .Janitor Mr. S. 1{. Kettei.kamp Is it really any wonder That our school’s so spick and span. When a body stops to figure That our janitor is Sam.' With his little group of helpers He is busy day and night; And he pitches in and works Until the place is shining bright. With his ever-present pipe In one corner of his mouth. He’ll remark upon the weather And the prospects of a drouth. lie’s continually grumbling But he doesn’t mean a thing; And if little kindnesses formed Crowns, he’d surely be a king. We ought to call him “Mr.”, But we all just call him Sam, And we’re glad he is the janitor, At least I know T am. - 57 )■ - The OLD NOKOM1S 1932 American Legion Award On Class Day, May 27, 7931, the American Legion medals for citizenship were awarded to Arlow Julian and Ruth Kanke, who had been chosen by the Faculty as the outstanding boy and girl in the Freshman class. The following points were taken into consideration: scholarship, leadership, service, honor, and courage. Big and Little Sister Party On the afternoon of September 17, during the eighth hour, a party was given in the Assembly. The guests were the Freshman girls, and the Senior girls acted as hostesses. The program consisted of two vocal duets by Lila 1 nderwood and Mildred Harms accompanied by Esther Greife, also a reading by Lavonne Meinzer. .lust before the program closed, the big and little sisters’ names were called and they stood facing each other. All joined hands and took part in singing a song which was a pledge of friendship. The party was terminated by serving refreshments which consisted of Nu Bars.—(l.g.) Senior Wiener Roast The! Seniors and their sponsors went to Schaefer s Grove on the evening of Wednesday, October 21. The first part of the evening they spent around a bonfire, eating ashes which tasted somewhat of wieners and marshmallows. It was a beautiful moonlight evening and a stranger would have been very much shocked to have seen the dignified (?) Seniors and their sponsors romping around like kindergarteners. When they were exhausted from this, they returned to the fire and sang many familiar songs, slightly off key. Finally, all grew hoarse from yelling and singing, and left, allowing the neighbors to spend the rest of the night in peace. A happy class of Seniors returned to town that evening, but it was a drowsy and stiff group that showed up at school the next day.— (e.g., l.u.) Sophomore-Freshman Party The Freshmen were entertained by the Sophomores at an Apron and Overall party on October 23 in the Assembly, which was beautifully decorated in green and white. The evening’s entertainment consisted of the following plays and contests: Negro Minstrel. Military Drill, Glee Club, Hat Show, and a pie-eating contest, which was won by Armand Tosetti. Domenick Costa played on his accordion, and Mike Popovich did some fancy tap-dancing. After this, Mr. Rademacher, the song-bird of N.T.ll.S., led group singing. Later, delicious refreshments were served consisting of sandwiches, pickles, cake, and cider. After a farewell number all departed, the Freshmen declaring the Sophomores royal entertainers.—(r.p.) Football Banquet On the evening of December 2, a banquet was given by the School Board and Faculty in honor of the football team. Dinner was served at fi:30 o’clock. After the meal, Mr. Hulet, the toastmaster, introduced Mr. Truitt, who gave a short talk. The next and principal speaker of the evening was President Cameron Harman of McKendree College. He tried to impress upon the minds of those present, mainly the football players, that it is the way one plays the game that counts in life’s great game, lie said that one’s attitude toward the game is a great factor in determining whether one wins or loses. Coach Johnson spoke next, commenting upon the team and its record. The evening’s program closed with the presentation of the letters by Coach Johnson.—(d.g.) - - j{ 58 }§ • - 1932 Thr OLI) NOKOMIS Stunt Show On the evening: of that fateful (lav, Friday the 13th, the annual staff was the honorable sponsor of a stunt show. To begin with, the orchestra caused the usual uproar and then each class and organization put on a stunt. For relaxation between stunts, there were various musical numbers. Domenick Costa played his accordion, much to the delight of everyone. “Bobby” Sneddon then entertained us with a vocal solo. Later, the groaning tones of a saxophone and an outrageous pounding on the piano reminded us that Audrey Beatty and Ruth Underwood were in the vicinity. Next, Elio Tosetti and Melvin Dalhaus played a cornet duet accompanied by Esther Greife. Hazel Read flew all over the keyboard of the piano in a way most commendable. To make a perfect ending to a perfect evening’s entertainment the faculty put on a most enjoyable stunt, “The Evolution of the Flapper and the Sheik.”—(k.u., a.b.) Senior-Junior Party On the evening of December 16, Juniors, Seniors, and Faculty arrived at the school dressed in their best. A dime hunt resulted in sufficient hand-shaking to make everyone acquainted. Then tin doors were unlocked and we were ushered into a beautifully decorated assembly, dimly lighted with candles. Our musical ears were delighted with the strains of a jazz orchestra and our appreciation of dramatics gratified by clever acting in “Working on the Railroad” and “Loving Lunatics.” Games and contests furnished amusement until a late hour. Dainty refreshments were served on trays lighted by tiny candles while singers in costume sang carols. Santa Claus then bestowed upon each a full stocking of candy. The company departed bestowing complimentary remarks upon the entertaining ability of tin Seniors.— (g.h.) The Pageant An entertainment was given by the Big Sister Club and the G.A.A. on Friday, January 22. The Big Sister Club presented “A Pageant of the Nations.” All the countries of the Old World were represented in living pictures. Of the New World, the American Indian, Puritans, Immigrants, and Early and Modern Americans were shown. The pageant ended with a picture of Liberty and a chorus singing “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean.” The G.A.A. presented a play, “The Wrath of the Sun Goddess,” an old Shinto legend. It told of the wrath of Ama Terasu, the sun goddess, because her gardens had been destroyed by the God of Storm. The Sun hid until two villagers, bringing the holy looking-glass, led her out of her cave and back to earth.— (r.k.) 1931 COMMERCIAL CONTESTS The following students entered the State Commercial Contests in the spring of 1931.

Was born, destined in later years to be A noted man, “Father of Ilis Country, ’ A man whom all the world would love and know; But when to old Mt. Vernon he could go, And his remaining days spend in memory Of bygone days, of school days filled with glee, Happiness and contentment he did show. So will it be with us. Even if men Bestow on us high honors, and our name Be widely known, some days there will be when Our memory will rove back to the same Dear school we left long years ago, and then— Fond reminiscences, worth more than fame! — (m.e.g.) —63 ) — (Poets’ IN SCHOOL DAYS Still sits the schoolhouse by the road, A red brick building sleeping, Around it still the sumachs grow. And tennis courts are creeping. Within, the assembly room is seen. With seats for half the pupils, And a stage where speakers vent their spleen. And kill Time without scruples. It’s here we study day by day And struggle with our lessons; It’s here they catch us if we play. And then we have some sessions! It’s here we yell until we’re hoarse The day before each game. It’s here we’re told we’re getting worse. But we aren’t, just the same. The Library is across the hall. And hither comes each student. To talk and throw books at the wall. As much as he thinks prudent. The history books are all kept here. And slowly comes each Senior To have this war or that made clear, And look up Grant’s demeanor. A typewriter sounds from the office there. Where “Jo” is working madly, For Mr. Hulet will tear his hair. If his papers are done badly. They keep the books there in the vault. And a record of every scholar, But the grade cards are what we hold at fault; It is they that make us holler! The grade cards all come out in May And everyone is “blue,” And no one says, “I gave you an A, Because, you see. I love you.” But after all is done and said. We’d have it no other way. And our joyful hearts sink down like lead. When we think of leaving in May. —F.P. LA SENORITA It was many and many a year ago On a ranch in Mexico Where a pretty girl, both young and fair. Was courted by a beau; Was courted by a beau, you know, was courted by a beau. They were happy as they went along; Trouble, a bubble, and life, just a son . But Fortune frowned and he left one day To woo another maid in spite, they say. To woo another in spite, they say, to woo another maid. He married this girl, bet not for love; Her money was what he was thinking of; But he soon came to know that life is all woe If you make money your goal, my lads. If you make money your goal. The maiden fair that he left behind. Founded a school for the deaf and blind. She never complained or talked of her care. And everyone’s sorrows she wanted to share; And as yet no one has filled her vacant chair. —L.W. A DRUNKARD’S POEM It was one spring day in late September. The birds were in full bloom; All the flowers were singing sweetly. And the morning air was fresh. My sister said to me, “My dear. Go out and see the sun rise”; But I sa down in the dining room And saw the kitchen sink. I went down in the basement then To sweep an upstairs room; I looked out of the window sill And saw, just out of sight, A house a thousand miles away In China, ’cross the bay; It stood alone between two more And it was white washed black. —W.H. WHAT THE SENIORS THINK The Seniors think we’re silly. But we don’t think that way. I hey forget they were Freshmen once. That’s all we’ve got to say. —A Freshman. Corner THE COOK We can feel our ribs get fatter When Miss Spelbring stirs that golden batter And prepares to pour it Lightly in the pan! You’ve an inspiration after She has sweetened it with laughter. For she surely is a Most delightful woman. Miss Spelbring is clever, kind, and dapper But we won’t call her a “flapper” Though the way she flaps those Cakes would make a book! Once we gobbled down eleven. If we Freshmen go to Heaven, Or the other place, we Hope that our Miss Spelbring is the cook. —A Freshman. THE FATE OF SIR PATRICK Sir Patrick stood before the door In his hand a pink sweet pea. Awaiting there for Eleanor, His sweetheart, for to see. She opened wide the oaken door And in he did quickly fly. They sat upon the sofa And he kissed her on the sly. “I’ve come to propose,” said he, said he; “If you don’t marry me. I’ll go way out to the west and die. Darling, won’t you marry me?” “I will not marry you,” said she, And out the door he did stagger. True to his word, he went out west And died sixty-five years after. —M.W. ONWARD In triumph you, the Seniors, reach the goal To which we are groping now our way ; In shining honor you have climbed the stair And crossed the threshold to Commencement Day. The road behind you is travel-worn; A new one stretches onward, smooth and far, And as you travel on that Highway fair, Remember, “Hitch your wagon to a star.” This goal is not for you the journey’s end But rather ’tis a place to start anew; And Time turns to you a fresh, clean page For the new record of the things you do. Then may you travel o’er that winding road With heads held high and pounding hearts aglow; Forever in your hearts this motto true: “Onward, ever-onward, we must go.” —O.T. SENIOR THOUGHTS The Senior Class of ’32— Our first set goal at last achieved! For four short years we’ve laughed and grieved. And loved, and fought, and laboured too Within these walls we now must quit. These corridors no more will ring To a “Loyalty” our voices sing, For from now on our ranks will split. Dear old Nokomis Township High This one last pledge we give to thee: We go forth now to do or die On this life’s roush, tumultous Sea. And as each goes his separate way. We’ll make you proud of us, some day. —A Senior.

Dear Miss Love: Up to a short time a?o I was the belle of the Freshman Class, but lately, I seem to be losing my attractions. I am certain my marvelous beauty has not waned any, and I am at a loss to account for the sudden change. Can you recommend anything? A Freshman. Ans. Dear A. F.: I find your case very interesting and I think I can help you. Purchase some red fingernail polish immediately and use it without hesitation. The boys love red fingernail polish; I can’t make my remarks too strong. One glance at your fingernails and the boys see red. By actual statistics, the red polish increases the beauty of the wearer by 150.569 percent, and green polish by only 149.99 percent. I would not recommend the green polish in your case anyway, as a contrast is more desirable than a shading of the same color. M. T.

The finished product nearly always falls short of the dreams and expectations of the maker, no matter how good it may be, and the maker is not capable of judging his own product fairly. So it is that we, the Staff of ’32, leave the final word of praise or condemnation to you, the Reader, in the hope that you may derive something of value from this “Old Nokomis.” We have worked hard, and we believe we have done our best; and if through our mistakes and shortcomings we are paving the way to better things, our work has not been in vain.
