(Continued on page 66) 27 HIGH SCHOOL SNAPS 30 ClLVLlie STUDENT GOVERMENT The first term of this year ' s student government was notable for its tranquility. The great success of the Vaudeville did much to insure the solvency of the treasury for the rest of the year. The financial success of the Opera also helped to decorate the credit side of the ledger, and was especially gratifying during a war year. In accc rdance with the tradition originated last year, a Junior president was elected for the second term in January. The new administration was greeted with a development of friction concerning the Middle School Store and the allocation of the profits of that organization. Fortunately this inter-school dispute was settled happily. Next came the perennial question of Morning Ex ' s. There had been some feeling that the morning assemblies had slipped into a rather bad rut. At the time of this writing, the question has circulated between the council, town meeting, and faculty without a final decision. It is interesting to note, however, that even this discussion of the issue has caused a rise in the general quality of Morning Ex ' s. However, this problem of Morning Exercises is one of a very few issues which have met with any enthusiasm at all from the student body. The proceedings of Town Meeting and Council have served to show the general lack of interest on the part of the students in taking advantage of their chance for self-government. Those of us who are graduating realize both the achievements and the short-comings of our organiza- tion. Above all, we feel that it is of the greatest importance for next year s student body to prevent any further dwindling of interest in wartime, and to expand and reform the student government, as it provides one of the few means whereby we all can train ourselves into becoming good world citizens. THE P U R P The Purple and White staff, under the guidance of Co-Editors Bob Taylor and Ed Kuh, started out in a big way this year by changing the looks and content of the paper. The new foremat with the school seal incorporated into the heading gave the paper an impressive appearance. The Purp managed to come out on schedule throughout the school year despite rationing difficul- ties, which is in itself an accomplishment to be proud of. This was largely because of close collabora- tion between the editorial, advertising and business staffs of our thriving little paper. The editorial policy consisted mainly of presenting an accurate account of school life, and of balanc- ing serious articles with stray bits of humor. This balance proved to be the secret of success. The Purp may not have been a specimen of super journalism, but it did manage to catch the spirit of the school and the school ' s activities, presenting its articles in a generally comprehensible and attractive style. There were no startling innovations this year, although an Alumni column telling where our lads in the Armed Forces were located became a popular feature. Lack of interest among the lower classes proved disadvantageous to them, as they did not receive the coverage that they deserved. Next year ' s staff, headed by Darrell Boyd, will have a job on its hands to live up to the record of the 1943 Purp , but judging by the work the Juniors have done on this year ' s staff, they have the talent and energy to do it. 33 DANCES Although North Shore is not nationally known for the number or lavishness of the dances we put on during the year, we nevertheless managed to make the two gyms resound to the sweet notes of the trumpet, clarinet, and sax, intermingled with the happy uproar of a dancing crowd, a creditable number of times this year. To start the year off in style, the Freshman-Senior Dance brought out the slightly apprehensive Frosh, squired by the worldly and sophisticated Seniors who joined the rest of the High School in welcoming the new Freshmen into the exclusive Dunlap smart set. The second scheduled and customary dance, the Sophomore Dance, or Soph Stomp , took place this year after the final curtain of the most successful vaudeville in the history of the school, and the jubilant and inflated student body and friends really cut the varnish, (no rugs). An addition this year was the series of Coke dances. These dances were added to fill the need for something to do and someplace to go for social life now that gas rationing and other wartime restrictions have made this problem more knotty than ever. These dances were put on at low cost by the Student Government at first and then by the Juniors, and were generally thought to be successful. In closing, we might mention the strenuous series of barn dances given by the inmates of Leicester Hall for their friends, and the big affair of the year, the Junior Prom, which, as we go to press, the student body is eagerly awaiting. 34 LEICESTER HALL The policy of Leicester Hall, commonly called The House , centers around the principle of preserv- ing the institution of family life (as practised by the Dionnes). However, in our case, the numbers fluctuate from time to time without the benefit of birth or death. One will find, we might add, many of the attributes of the more lively type of family life in Leicester. Within the walls of this time honored edifice an informal study hall takes place in the evening. When not employed in study, we strive to increase our skill at ping-pong. We greet new members with an initiation ceremony in the form of a secret game called, Brother, Brother, I ' ve been bopped! These minor social pleasures add a little zest and color to the family life. For out of doors exercise we formed a Work Group and found to our amazement that some of the family chores, such as taking down screens, washing windows, raking leaves, and even building a bike shed go better when done by a group. It was a valuable experience. Under the spiritual guidance of Mr. and Mrs. French and the Rev. Gordon Nelson we have attended the various churches along the North Shore. During the season we gave several square dances which shook the foundation of Leicester and revived the Swing your partner style of American folk dancing. We also invited a group of interested students for an informal discussion of The Negro Problem with Mr. Fred Wale, a repre- sentative of the Rosenwald Foundation. We, the inmates, heartily thank the parents for making The House possible. Your many contribu- tions over last summer have given us a luxurious Common Room in which to gather. We deeply ap- preciate the guidance and companionship given us by Mr. and Mrs. French and by our jovial little man, Mr. Nelson. An Inmate. THE 1943 OPERA This year ' s Gilbert and Sullivan production was The Gondoliers , a typically complicated Gil- be r t i a n tale of Venetian boatmen, dukes, duchesses, inquisitors, and contadine . The opera was chosen because of the abundance of good solo parts and the importance, in this particular opera, of the chorus of gondoliers and contadine. Rehearsals took long hard weeks of grueling work, increasing in intensity as the zero hour ap- proached. But the added work of producing The Gondoliers was counterbalanced certainly by the enjoyment everyone derived therefrom. The entire cast, the stage crew under the watchful eye of Miss Bacon, those indefatigable pin-bearing mothers, and the make-up crew of Freshman girls were amply rewarded for their travail by the fun involved, and by the success of the finished product. That same old Phantom of the Opera , measles, scared us again this year, but both Gianettas sang splendidly despite ill health. Though it was feared that increased taxes and gas rationing would cut down the attendance, the Friday night receipts surpassed all previous records for that evening and the Saturday night performance was a sell-out. As eminent authorities on all sides lauded the 1943 rendition of Gilbert and Sullivan with loud bravissimo s, all hands tottered northward to a gala open house at the Selfridge ' s. We extend heartiest thanks to Mrs. Duff, Mrs. Graham, Mr. Smith and to the maestro himself for their coaching and morale-building, to the mothers and alumnae for clothing us magnificently, to the stage crew, to the freshman girls for greasing us so romantically, to the janitorial squad for bearing up nobly under augmented and onerous debris, and last but not least, to the Tribune photographer, whose presence helped greatly to enliven the dress rehearsal. 36 THE VAUDEVILLE This year the vaudeville came through with flying colors. We not only made more money than had ever been made before, but we also put on a fine show. This was mainly accomplished by improv- ing upon past performances. It seemed to us that in the last few years our so-called vaudevilles had become merely a series of acts or short skits produced by each section of each class. We resolved to do something to change this situation, and we did. We decided that to keep an audience entertained and amused it would be necessary to keep them occupied at all times. This we did by attempting to keep the performance going continuously without pause. When the curtains were closed, we had able performances in front of the curtain by the Nut Brothers , portrayed by Bobs Taylor and Johnson. Dar Curtis, the screwiest inventor ever, did his job well with the help of Red Williams. The highlights of the show were: Huff and Puff with Ramsay Duff , a hot jam session with Mr. Duff ticklin ' the ivories, Frank Burnham and his clarion trumpet, and Dick Batten bashing his drums with a frenzy never to be equalled by man; the wrestling fight in which Monster Spiegel was swamped by Shrimp Shapiro; the original operetta by John Jameson and Mr. Duff, known as The Safecrackers , and finally the Junior class musicale. We hope that in following years the school will follow the example set by this year ' s vaudeville committee and improve upon the job done by the pioneers of the new era of North Shore Vaudeville. 37 THE ORCHESTRA The orchestra, that solid combo of jive-jockeys whose sessions every Thursday afternoon over at Walling were the talk of the music world, although hampered by the loss of an oboe, a bassoon, and half the cello section, carried on very creditably this year. Under the able direction of Maestro Duff, North Shore ' s own wizard of the baton, they not only performed at the Thanksgiving service, the Opera, and the Graduation exercise, but were able to sandwich in a morning ex as well. Many people were heard to remark at the end of these concerts I never heard Beethoven treated like that before! ' ' so we feel that our efforts were rewarded, although we are not able to understand one remark, uttered by a senior boy, who was shaking his head as he left, saying Sherman was right . The orchestra this year tackled compositions ranging from Beethoven ' s First to an old time fiddler ' s breakdown known as Sheep and Goats Walkin ' to the Pasture , and we of the orchestra feel that a great part of the success of the Opera was due to the virtuosity and delicate modulation furnished by the orchestra. The singers have another theory, but we don ' t want to lower ourselves to the petty position of squabbling. 38 THE ACAPELLA CHOIR The A Capella Singers was formed in November of 1941, but 1942-1943 was the first year that it was in working order the entire time. For a long while many people had expressed a desire for some singing group other than the chorus, and the A Capella Singers is the outgrowth of this desire for more music. Several girls organized the new choir and Mr. Duff was asked to lead it. fde con- sented, and work began. The size of the group was set at twelve, because this number seemed to be the most practical for part singing. The music is in three, four, and five parts. When school began last fall there were two vacancies left by last year ' s seniors. These were soon filled and regular practice was resumed. As the schedule was involved, most of the rehearsals had to be crowded into the lunch periods, but that was managed surprisingly well. The A Capella Singers have sung at various places and on various occasions throughout the year. They sang in the Vaudeville, at the Christmas Tableaux, at the Lyonsville Congregational Church, to sell War Bonds, at the National Kindergarten College upon two occasions, for their parents, at the Easter services of Christ Church and the Congregational Church, and several other times at school. The music they sing consists of motets, madrigals and ayres, Russian Church music, and folk songs from different countries. 39 CHRISTMAS The pre-Christmas scene at North Shore was, as usual, one of color and activity. In the shops there was a hum of saws and a tap of hammers as Santa ' s helpers constructed toy horses and wagons, repaired dolls, and wrapped toys and games, which were to be sent to several settlement houses in Chicago, where they could be distributed to children who might otherwise face a fairly meager Christmas. Meanwhile, over on the stage, the Freshmen with the aid of Miss Radcliffe and Miss Gilbert were preparing the Christmas Pageant. The play given this year was The Coming of Christ by John Masefield. This pageant depicts the Spirit of Christ leaving Heaven to come among the peoples of the earth, and the Nativity, with the Three kings, the Shepherds and the Angels. The week before Christmas saw the climax of our efforts. On Wednesday, at the annual Christmas party, Santa descended the chimney in traditional style, and almost got stuck. He soon appeared, however, and was greeted warmly by Mr. Smith. Then when he had expressed delight over the gifts made by the toy shop, he handed out gifts to the lower school, and was entertained by the dances that were put on in his honor. On Thursday, the pageant was given and, aided by the heavenly choir, was performed with great effect and success. Then with the falling of the curtain, the students left the auditorium to begin the long awaited Christmas holidays. 40 MAY DAY By 11:30 of May 14, the time set for the beginning of the May Day dances on the green, the sun gave up its early morning valiant attempt at breaking the traditional cloudy and cooler with probable showers weather situation and retired for the morning, leaving the campus chilly and cloud-mantled. Nevertheless the day ' s program was begun out on the green; Patsy Pettibone was duly crowned Queen of the May, and the dances were performed in a gay if slightly shivering manner. All classes participated, even the terrible old beat-up Freshmen, as the genial, affable master of ceremonies put it. The dances were climaxed by the traditional Faculty Virginia Reel and Senior May Pole Dance. The latter ' s hallowed formations were momentarily interrupted by a short but spirited class riot, when the Juniors made a vain attempt to make off with the Senior banner, which is traditionally passed on to them some two weeks later at the Senior luncheon. The Seniors took time out to rescue their prized standard and then, with their white attire now slightly sullied by the skirmish, went back to the peace and innocence of the May Pole Dance. Thus ended a chilly but thoroughly enjoyed May Day, and thus probably began a new school tradition, that of the Seniors bringing their banner to the Spring fete and virtually putting it tauntingly in front of the Juniors ' noses. Anyway, it made for an unexpectedly vigorous May Day that will not soon be forgotten. Or perhaps most of the crowd foresaw some such event, as did one onlooker who came through with the explanatory observation that that class of Seniors never has done any- thing like anybody else. 41 HONOR ROLL Adair, John J.

During the five games the Aardvarks, the monicker which the squad finally adopted, rolled up 109 points while holding their opponents score- less. The only blot on an otherwise perfect record was the Milwaukee game which saw North Shore take a 13-6 beating. A review of the football season shows that North Shore ' s brilliant record was obtained not by individual stars, but by the entire team, working together as a well co-ordinated unit, playing con- sistent heads-up ball. On the opening day of football practice Coach Doc Anderson assisted by Coach Harritt wel- comed a turnout of 25 boys, among them 7 lettermen. Around these lettermen, which included captain John Jameson, Doc built the nucleus of his championship team. Aided by various calisthenics and the blocking sled the boys went through many stiff and lengthy drills in preparation for the tough league schedule. Unlike former years Doc instituted a series of plays that developed from the Y formation with the quarterback handling the ball on all of the plays. Previously North Shore had worked its plays from a single wingback formation. By the time the season rolled around a team composed of veterans and newcomers had been moulded together to form a formidable North Shore eleven. 44 J V ' S Heavy- weights THF SEASON ' S RECORD North Shore 6 Latin The opening game of the season saw the Purple and White barely eke out a 6-0 win over a strong Latin squad. North Shore counted late in the 3rd period when halfback Joe Sparrow raced 15 yards to paydirt. During the remainder of the game the two teams battled on even terms with both lacking the punch to score. The Aardvarks gave promise of future greatness by showing flashes of brilliance at times, but good defensive play by Latin stopped them short of scoring more than once. 45 North Shore 26 Todd An inspired Aardvark eleven which scored in every quarter steamrollered Todd school for a second league victory by an overwhelming 26-0 score. Great playing by the North Shore forward wall which time and again stopped Todd advances kept our goal line from being crossed for the second straight game. Sparrow scored first for North Shore when he lugged the ball across on a 1 5 yard run midway in the first period. Todd, with their ground offensive seriously stalled, took to the air lanes in an attempt to advance. However, a pass from inside their own 10 proved disastrous when right end George Gordon intercepted it and scored standing up for the second North Shore touchdown. The third tally was chalked up by quarterback Buddy Wilson who took the ball over from the 2 yard line. The first of two successful conversions split the up-rights leaving the score 19-0 at this point. The last North Shore score by Speigel came late in the final period after a sustained field march. North Shore 27 Harvard Continuing to keep its slate clean North Shore handed Harvard a 27-0 beating for their third victory of the season. Too much Aardvark power plus fine defensive play were the main factors in Harvard ' s defeat. North Shore started things off right in the first quarter when they scored on a 60 yard run. From then on North Shore controlled the ball and dominated play for the remainder of the game. The Aardvarks second counter came when quarterback Buddy Wilson hit paydirt late in the second quarter. George Gordon, scored North Shore ' s third touchdown on a pass from Derry Boyd and the Ardvarks scoring ended in the fourth quarter on an eight yard plunge by Spiegle. North Shore 6 Milwaukee 13 North Shore ' s otherwise perfect seasonal record underwent a drastic change when the Aardvarks journeyed to Milwaukee and absorbed a 13-6 defeat in their fourth game of the season. The Aardvarks played on even terms with Milwaukee during the entire game but lacked a final punch when they were within scoring distance. Fumbles in the backfield played an important part in the Aardvark ' s loss. As a result several scoring chances within the 10 yard line were muffed. Cy Bentley scored North Shore ' s lone touchdown in the first period when he romped 50 yards through the entire Milwaukee team. The hosts tied up the score a few minutes later and then pushed over the final and winning marker late in the third period. North Shore 31 Francis Parker North Shore bounced back from the Milwaukee defeat to win their fourth league game when they trounced Francis Parker by a score of 31 -0 on the latters ' field. The Aardvarks scored their initial touchdown by Spiegel midway in the first quarter and from then on it was North Shore all the way. A strong North Shore forward wall prevented Parker from seldom advancing beyond the fifty yard line while the Aardvarks roamed Parker territory at will. George Gordon scored North Shore ' s second and third touchdowns as the result of being on the receiving end of two long passes. The Aardvarks scored again in the third period and Buddy Wilson finally ended the scoring with a 20 yard jaunt in the last quarter. North Shore 20 Wheaton North Shore ended its first season in the Private School league with a 20-0 win over Wheaton which gave them undisputed position of first place with a record of five victories and no defeats. North Shore scored its three touchdowns, all made by Sparrow, on runs of 10, 20 and 30 yards. The Aardvarks line had remained uncrossed in league competition. At the end of the season Frank Burnham was chosen as next year ' s captain. We confidently expect to see next years team under his leadership again take the league championship. 46 HOCKEY Mrs. Graham took over Mrs. Gleason ' s place this year and the team benefitted greatly from her fine coaching; learning through a little effort valuable technique which led ultimately to a very creditable record. The Varsity was a little wobbly at first, having lost expert players with last year ' s graduating class, but with extra licks of work we soon filled in the vacant spaces and built up a team that showed that they could really do it by winning four games and tying one. The seccnd team was stronger than last year, although they lost one game, and the third and fourth teams came through with victories. The scores were as follows: Latin Roycemore Kemper Milwaukee D. First team 3—0 3—3 2—1 5—1 Second team 3—0 2—0 C— 2 1—1 Third team 9 — Fourth team 3 — The Middle School teams also showed promise in their battles with Skokie, winning one game and losing one. Two of our games were played away this year and we took great delight in the journeys to Kemper Hall in Kenosha and Milwaukee Downer in Milwaukee. Gas rati oning made it necessary for us to take the train which didn ' t dampen our spirit one bit. We had a lovely time at both schools, es- pecially at Milwaukee where we were glad to show that Mrs. Graham ' s patient drilling with us had been advantageous by running up a high score (for hockey) of five points. The other games, played on our own field, were boosted by the spirited cheers of the North Shore men who helped to spur us on to victory. Quite a few girls turned out for the North Shore Hockey Association practices on Skokie playfield and we were terribly proud when Lina Kimball, Nancy Dick, Betsy Shanklin and Eleanor Wilson made the School Girls ' first team and Alice K. Carpenter the second team. As far as the records show this was more than have ever received that honor before. Our captain, Nancy Kostbade, is to be congratulated on the way she handle d the games and gave them that needed backbone . Dodie Law, our efficient manager, is also to be praised and we appreciate all the work she did in arranging the games, writing letters and taking care of minute details. We ended our season with a lovely banquet and announced next year ' s captain and manager, Eleanor Wilson and Nancy Dick, respectively. 47 Second Team Third Team Middle School Teams GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Until recent years, Girls ' Basketball had not had recognition as a major sport in prep schools throughout the country. This was also true at North Shore. Games had been played with other schools, but among the student body not much interest was shown. This year, the girls taking Varsity Basketball were determined to raise the game to the level of a major sport. Varsity Basketball was open to every girl in the high school who was interested, and each girl was given an opportunity to play with the squad, although not everyone could be given a position on the team. Freshmen had the same chance to be on the first team as the seniors. The question arose during one of our meetings, as to whether or not there should be training for members of the squad. It was decided that it should be tried, but after about two weeks the plan was dropped, since most of the girls were not in favor of it. Thereafter, training rules were withdrawn, and each girl made her own rules according to what she felt would keep her in good health and help her to maintain maximum efficiency in basketball. This plan has worked out very well. Because of the gas and tire rationing program, all transportation to and from games was by train. In other years the trips were made in the school bus and in private cars, but like everyone else, the students at North Shore are learning to use public transportation and or Shanks ' mare, and if there was any inconvenience experienced, it was not expressed. We played two games with other schools,- one with Roycemore, and the other with Chicago Girls ' Latin School. It was found that our first team was no better than the second team. Consequently, Mrs. Graham, Captain Patsy Pettibone, and Manager Ann Wilcox, had a difficult time choosing teams. It was decided that the four girls who played forward on the first team in the Roycemore game should play on the second team against Girls ' Latin. Thus the problem was solved fairly for everyone. We had hoped that there might be more games this year, but we were unable to find time to schedule more than the two. Team spirit was splendid. It is sincerely hoped that in the years to come Girls ' Basketball will be as popular as it has been this season, and that it will have the same respect as a major sport that hockey does. NORTH SHORE ROYCEMORE 1st Team 32 35 2nd Team 46 22 NORTH SHORE LATIN 1st Team 31 35 2nd Team 26 34 BOYS ' BASKETBALL The 1942-43 season inaugurated North Shore ' s entry into Private School League basketball im- pressively. Four regulars remained from last years team. A varsity squad of ten was to carry the burden of the coming season. Harvard was the opener on our schedule. Playing on Harvard ' s new court, the Aardvarks dis- played much early season clumsiness but managed to come out on top, 41-35. Practice was faithfully carried on during Christmas vacation as our schedule really started two weeks after school began. A strong Todd unit travelled 30 miles to receive a 39-32 setback by a determined group of Aard- varks. Then Latin went down by a 41-32 score. Two easily won victories over North Park and Francis Parker gave the Aardvarks a rnidseason record of five victories and no defeats. Injuries and bad breaks cut t ,e squad dcwn just as the North Shore quintette was to face the only other undefeated school in the league, Concordia. The visiting Concordia squad proved to be too much opposition as North Shore went down to its first defeat by the close score of 34-28. Four days later, with two regulars on the sidelines, the Aardvark five went to Chicago Christian. Christian proved too much for us as their tricky offense riddled our weakened team to win 38-30. Luther Institute came to North Shore where the Aardvarks were determined to stop their two-game losing streak. It was a seesaw battle from the start, neither team ever gaining more than a five point advantage. The winning bucket, put in during the last thirty seconds, made North Shore the winner, 34-33. It was the most exciting game of the year. 50 A cheered-up squad then played University High School in the giant University of Chicago Field- house. Despite the long floor, the Aardvarks rolled up 48 points to U. High ' s 35 in a fast-moving game. Our league competition ended with Wheaton Academy on our own floor. The game was lopsided cs our boys easily took a 56-42 decision. This placed North Shore second in the league, one notch Lehind Concordia. Our season was not yet ended as we were to play our traditional rivals, Milwaukee Country Day School. The jinx that the Milwaukee court has had on North Shore basketball teams remained Milwaukee won 41-37, although the Aardvarks loor, 59-40, in the closing game of unbroken as the Aardvarks never got really started, were creeping up at the end. An aroused Aardvark quintette crushed Milwaukee on our the season. The outstanding characteristic of this year ' s squad was its team work. The individual players on the team used their ability to win rather than just to pile up points. Despite this, two boys broke the former scoring record held by Bill Taylor. Bud Wilson scored 172 points followed by George Gordon with 168 points. Bud did a consistently fine job as captain, keeping, team spirit at a high level. The Fresh-Soph started out slowly, ending up fast with three victories out of the last four games. Their season record was three won, five lost. It is a fine tribute to Mr. Harritt s coaching ability tha t our comparatively small North Shore squad stacked up so well against public school teams in practice games. 51 BASEBALL As is true every year, the Mirror went to press as the 1943 baseball season was just getting under way. The record up to that date was: North Shore North Shore .15 Harvard 9 University High 1 With new men taking over the catching, first base, third base, and left field positions which were vacated by last year ' s graduating class, the 1943 Aardvarks had had very few days of good practice weather before they went down to Harvard for the season ' s opener on April 17. The result was a rather sloppy game, complete with four errors and many fielding faux pas. However, the Aardvarks showed signs of hitting power as they collected twelve hits off two Harvard pitchers. Bud Wilson was credited with the victory, taking over in the second inning, and allowing the South Side team just six hits. The next week brought a practice game at New Trier, which the Aardvarks lost to the green boys, 12-9. But the extra practice seemed to help the Purple, for the following Friday ' s game with Uni- versity High showed evidence of great improvement. Although they could only connect for six hits, they made them timely ones, and were aided by seven University High errors. Bud pitched the whole game, and allowed only three hits. The North Shore fielding looked especially improved, although the Aardvarks did fumble twice. Thus, with two of their six League games under the proverbial bridge, the team is looking forward to a successful season, and perhaps the distinction of winning the schools second Private School League championship in the first full year of membership. 52 SPORT SNAPS S3 y v LiJiJiLe au I o J—Ower ckoi i (standing, up the stairs left to right) R.

FIFTH GRADE The fifth grade became interested in the Hawaiian Islands because our teacher came from there. We wanted to know more about the South Pacific too because of World happenings there. So we learned about the Hawaiian Islands and the people of the South Pacific Basin. We learned about the old Hawaiian life, and life in the Islands today. We learned some Hawaiian words. We took a trip to the Field Museum to see island plants and old Hawaiian and Polynesian tools, utensils, tapa, weaving, clothing, ornaments and weapons. We saw statues of the people of the South Pacific in the Hall of Man. At the Art Institute we saw some pictures Gaugin had painted of the Polynesians. Each child made a glazed clay figure showing some of the old Hawaiian activities. We made a large panel with colored chalk for the space above the fireplace. It showed trading with the early Hawaiians. Each of us chose a subject which we studied about and gave reports and made pictures on. We gave a morning Ex to share with others some of the interesting things we had learned. In science we learned about sugar and pineapples. Since we had enjoyed an Hawaiian story we decided to dramatize it for May Day. We made the book into a play. We made the scenery and props for it. We had lots of fun doing it. Our Study of Hawaii and the Pacific Basin was very interesting and we all look forward to visiting there some day when the war is over. 59 4h grade: (left to right)— R. Walholm, C. Selfridge, D. Ott, H. Waller, P. Glaser, A. Murray, P. King , D. Selz. absent) — F. Blunt. FOURTH GRADE This year the fourth grade went on several trips. Early in the fall we planned a picnic. We figured how much the food would cost. We went to the store and bought the food and cooked our lunch outdoors. When we were studying about the beginning of the earth we took a trip to the Children ' s Museum over at the Crow Island School. The re were glass cases. In the cases were crystals, lava, petrified wood and sheels. In our Social Studies class we collected samples of soil to see if all soil is alike. We collected rocks that weather into soil and found many different kinds of rock. We took a trip out on the campus and found that a glacier had left a moraine. This year we also studied about maps. The first map we made was one of the campus for a treasure hunt. The next was one showing where the glaciers covered North America. Next was one showing the trips of the early French explorers. Then we made a small relief map of the United States. It showed where the great plains are and where the prairie is and where the mountains are. Now we are all working together on a big relief map of the United States. We are covering it with papier mache. The mountains will be fun to make. 60 3rd grade: (standing) — J. Blecker, S. Sparks. (seated, back row) — D. Taylor, B. Wham, P. Moulding. (seated, front row) — N. Peel, V. Simmons, E. Chapin, A. Whitfield, G. Getz, J. Glaser, Miss Griffin. (absent) M. Royer, C. Sippy, N. Piehl. THIRD GRADE STRIPES FOR VICTORY One day we were sitting in the corner working for the British Relief. We got the idea of having a club. We want to help win the war. We want the third Grade to pull together and have no more ganging up. Everyone has to pull together to help win the war. We started bringing scraps and coat hangers. We have sold 944 coat hangers for $9.44. We have $28.00 now and we are going to raise $50.00 for the Red Cross before June. Everyone is working to earn $2.00, by raking leaves, and washing dishes. OUR BEST PET Of all our pets, the guinea pigs, the starling, the turtles and the fish, we like Peanuts our rabbit the very best. He was born in captivity, but he has his freedom anyway. He doesn ' t stay in his cage much. When we rest he is so cute. He thinks we are mountains and jumps over us. When he gets tired he lies down beside us. He stands up on his hind legs and kisses us on the face. He likes to cuddle in my arms. When he falls asleep you can see his four front sharp teeth and you can tell he is a rodent. 61 2nd grade: (left to right)- R. Lowry, J. Ott, T. Pabst, D. Corkran, D. Patrick, D. Kimball (absent) R. Howard, T. Kratz, R. Vandercook. SECOND GRADE OUR HALLOWEEN PLAY Every year the second grade and the ninth grade girls give a Halloween play. The name of our play this year was Farmer Griggs and The Borart . Do you know what a Bogart is? We didn ' t, so we will tell you. He is a little elf man that gets into mischief. He comes to your house and pretends to be a helper. When he gets into your house it is very hard to get rid of him because he is invisible. The play was about the trouble Farmer Griggs had with him and how he finally got rid of him. The girls came to our room and told us the story. We drew pictures and they drew some for us. Then we played the story in our room many times. We chose our parts. David Kimball was the Bogart. David Corkran was the dog. Diana, Jamie and Tommy Pabst were Farmer Grigg ' s children. Roddy was a neighbor ' s child. We decorated the auditorium with Jack-o-Lanterns, we all brought pumpkins and the ninth grade girls came over and helped us carve them. We sang a song before the play. We chose The Elf Man because we thought it fitted the play. Everyone came to tell us how much they liked the play. We were sure it was more fun to do than to see. 62 1st grade: (left to right) J. Atwood, J. Corkran, W. King, Miss Kratz, P. Blum, R. Zebarth, E. Favill. THE FIRST GRADE OUR LIGHT HOUSE AND OUR BOAT The First Grade made a boat. A very comfortable sailboat. Our boat is painted blue and white. We play in the boat. Sometimes when we go sailing, we take our books and read. Sometimes we sing songs about sailboats, row boats and frogs. We made the sail from an old sheet Mr. Smith gave us the mast Also we have a lighthouse Made of paper and paper mac he On and off goes the light in the lighthouse. 63 Senior Kindergarten: (left to right} (absent -W.

SENIOR KINDERGARTEN DICTATED BY THE CLASS We built a house and we have real curtains that move back and forth. In the house we play black- out. Dede is the baby. Elizabeth is the mother. Bert is the Daddy, Judy is the cook who makes good cakes, and Ray is the uncle and the Air Raid Warden. We just love to play with Clay. We ' ve made sea horses and babies and kittens and lots of other things. We have two canaries that Tricia brought us. Their names are Mrs. and Mr. Henny Penny. The mother will be laying eggs soon. One day we went to Davy ' s house to see Waldy ' s puppies. On the way back we saw a burned house. There was a big hole in the roof and there were mattresses in the driveway. There were a pair of boots in the bushes and a tie on a tree. They were burning their old Christmas tree and a spark came out and landed on the roof and started a fire. We made a boat and we swabbed the decks the day after we built it. We made bunks. We didn ' t have any chairs except those in our room, so we used those. We made a pilot house, but we couldnt make it high enough, because we didn ' t have enough blocks. We went fishing on our boat and we caught a tuna, a sailfish and a marlin. We caught some sharks, too, but we threw them overboard. A brave sailor on the boat dived overboard. He had a knife in his belt, and he stabbed the shark. 64 Junior Kindergarten: (back row, left to right)— J. Ott, M. Green. (third row, left to right) — L. Anderson, B. Gray, J. Jacobs, L.

I ride on my three wheeler when the weather is nice. I roller skate in the spring. We went for a long walk. We visited the fire station. Jhe fire-men slid down the poles for us. We saw two fire entines and one chief car. The chief is the boss. All the cars were red. We saw the fire men ' s beds, their blankets are red. When we went over to Brendas, we had a hay ride. 65 LOWER SCHOOL ASSEMBLY (continued from page 27) Sally ' s a kid who doesn ' t talk much. Dar is found in plays and such. Next to D, of which, there is one. Her name is Dickie, she is some fun. Fisher comes next, the brains of the class. Galloway, though, will never be last. And of course there is Garrison, Tiger by name. She has many moods, mostly bad, never the same. Gale s in there pitchin ' , Gnome is not. Cause he ' s out doing something he ought not. Big noise from Chicago she ' s called they said. Who is it , I asked Why it ' s Carol Halstead. Next Charlotte, whose tongue might be much sharper. Followed by Lindsey, her last name is Harper. Next comes Carolyn, opera star busy. Followed by Lindsay, not Harper but Izzy. Now look at Margery, Slyly, wyly, Passing the buck to Joanie Riley. In French there is no one quite up to Michel. And Linda ' s fine permanent also is swell. Bill Rollins spends all of his time in a hole. While Betsy, our sheep-shank, will sure make her goal. No one has ever called Johnny Straub nosey, But no one knows what we should say about Posy. Jane is so quiet she might be a mouse. While Lee with her singing can bring down the house. Everyone here calls Bill Williams Red . Not for his politics but for his head. Should Eleanor fail to make Phi-Beta Kapp. She will find what she missed in Carol Yeoman ' s lap.
