H. S. We were, of course, as all Freshmen are at first, bashful and unable to adjust ourselves to the school routine. However, these difficulties were soon overcome. We joined in the school activities, two of our classmates being placed on the quartettes and several of the boys making the basketball squad. In the Intellectual Contest of that year four of our classmates were in the finals. In the second year our number had been reduced tef forty-four. However, this did not prevent us from assuming our share of the srhool activities. One boy and two girls were placed on the quartettes. We had nine finalists in the Intellectual Contest, and four of the boys made the basketball squad. In addi- tion, all of the members of our class took part in the Literary Clubs, into which they had been drawn as Freshmen. Our class, as Juniors, numbered twenty-nine. In basketball, baseball, track, orchestra, intellectuals and dramatics, we were well represented. One of the high spots of our Junior year was the Senior and Junior banquet, which we gave for the retiring Seniors. Now. with a class of twenty-six. we are spending the close of our school career at O. T. H. S. Although we have reached the goal for which we have striven, and the fruits of accomplishment are sweet, yet we would like to start over again and see if we could not write a better record. We are positive of one thing, however—our memories of the good times we had while at O. T. H. S. will always be cherished and in the future we shall get a great deal of pleasure in recalling those happy days spent under the Blue and Old Gold.

In September. 1926, we found our way into the assembly of O. T. H. S. amid the snickering and laughing of the upper classmen. Here it was that the ever faithful instructors took us in charge, protected, and guided us through the embryo stage. It was thus that we left behind us forever Freshman Alley with its charming nooks and crannies and ascended into regular standing. We had proved ourselves fit. and had assumed a highly important position in the every- day High School life: for we were now the wise as well as the mighty Sopho- mores. We worked diligently and reached the end of our Sophomore year with colors flying. As Juniors, we find ourselves weighted with many responsibilities, but our Herculean efforts have enabled our broad shoulders to carry them, though the path has been winding and narrow. During the dark, troublesome nights of study we are ably guided by the light of perseverance over the deep pitfalls and through the treacherous sands, until we have almost reached the straight and smooth road of the well-meaning Senior.

T. H. S. to begin a happy and successful high school career. All during the year we have striven hard to play our part. Many of our class took part in the intellectual and track contests, two of our boys succeeded in playing on the baseball team, one girl placed in readings, one in vocal solo, one girl placed in violin solos, one on 2nd quartet and one girl received a gold medal for oratory, representing the O. T. H. S. at the county meet. Now as Sophomores, we have lessened greatly in number but have increased an interest in work and hope to keep it through the remaining years of high school. Again this year many are striving for a place in intellectuals. We have entries for a place in readings, vocal solos, piano solos, extemporaneous speaking, oratory, boys' quartette, and girls' quartette. This is the first year the O. I. H. S. has a debate team and a girl represents our class on the negative team. We are working toward a true aim as our motto is A true aim wins.” May we always live up to it.

Thirty JfresJjmen Freshman Class History On the first day of the 1928-1929 s;hool term seventy-three Freshmen entered upon the first lap of their four years' journey through the O'Fallon High School. They felt as though they were outsiders, until Mr. Hinchcliff issued his welcome address. They realized, also, that they had the help of both the members of the faculty and the upper classmen. All Freshmen have the privilege of joining two or three of the different club organizations and most have taken advantage of this privilege. Many Freshmen have places in the orchestra and some are taking active parts in the social activities. They only hope they can do as well or even better than those who have gone before them during their four years of High School. 7 hiriy-two Left to Right First Row Malinda Keck. Alvin Taylor.

Thirty-four iUcttoities Class Prophecy One day during the early summer of 1950, while walking down the “Board Walk” near Atlantic City with nothing in particular on my mind, I was suddenly accosted by a huge person dressed in the latest fashion and weigh- ing about three hundred pounds. Instantly I recognized him to be an old school pal. Armin Niederecker. You can’t imagine how glad 1 was to see him, for since leaving school I had never been lucky enough to encounter any of my old schoolmates. We walked along for some time and finally decided to go to the Ritz for our dinner. On the way to the hotel. Armin informed me that he was the prosperous owner of the Niederecker Chain Stores, estab- lished throughout the U. S. A. On reaching the hotel, we went to the check room and who should we see but the shy, shrinking, little miss, Valerie Seibert, employed as check-girl. Being delighted to meet her. we invited her to share our dinner. She gladly accepted, and our happy trio entered the dining room. The head waiter advanced, and who should it be but Walter Fischer, looking very neat and handsome in his “Tux.” He secured for us, as special friends, a choice table near the orchestra and shared our meal. The orchestra began to pour forth its enchanting strains. We were delighted with this entertainment and made up our minds to send a request for “O Soli Mio.’’ As Armin approached the orchestra, he recognized a familiar face, that of Adolphe Kraske, our accom- plished violinist of the olden days. He was indeed surprised to see us and asked us to meet him after our dinner. In the midst of a delicious repast, our attention was arrested by a group of toe dancers who appeared upon the plat- form. Walter called to one of the girfs, who immediately approached our table and lo! and behold! who should it be. but Evelyn Asbury. This was indeed a surprise. Evelyn soon joined our party. So far our company consisted of Armin. Valerie. Walter. Adolphe, Evelyn and I. We agreed to celebrate the occasion by attending the Metropolitan Opera. Leaving the Ritz, we summoned a taxi, and were agreeably startled to find Wesley Knight behind the wheel. As his time to go off duty was near (Continued on Page 64) Thirty six Alettes Coach Morris Coach Young Basketball Schedule GAME SCORE SCORE PLAYED Nov. 2 O.T.H.S. 57 New Athens 9 Here Nov. 9 O.T.H.S. 15 Red Bud 21 There Nov. 16 O.T.H.S. 21 Alumni 22 Here Nov. 23 O.T.H.S. 37 T roy 7 Here Nov. 28 O.T.H.S. 14 Trenton 13 Here Dec. 7 O.T.H.S. 16 Mascoutah 19 Here Dec. 14 O.T.H.S. 12 New Baden 22 There Dec. 18 O.T.H.S. 17 Madison 37 Here Dec. 21 O.T.H.S. 1 1 Lebanon 7 There Jan. 4 O.T.H.S. 15 Freeburg 19 Here Jan. 8 O.T.H.S. 35 T roy 5 There Jan. 1 1 O.T.H.S. 12 • Marissa 17 There Jan. 16 O.T.H.S. 15 T re n ton 30 There Jan. 18 O.T.H.S. 9 Dupo 35 There Jan. 22 O.T.H.S. 21 Red Bud 12 Here Jan. 25 O.T.H.S. 9 Mascoutah 25 There Feb. 1 O.T.H.S. 17 New Baden 35 Here Feb. 8 O.T.H.S. 20 Madison 38 There Feb. 13 O.T.H.S. 50 Waterloo 18 Here Feb. 15 O.T.H.S. 17 Lebanon 42 Here Feb. 19 O.T.H.S. 12 Freeburg 27 There Feb. 22 O.T.H.S. 23 Marissa 22 Here Feb. 26 O.T.H.S. 10 Waterloo 1 1 There Mar. 1 O.T.H.S. 31 Dupo 19 Here DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Mar. 7 O.T.H.S. 2 Lebanon 32 Belleville Thirty-eight The Basketball Season Coach Morris made his first call for prospective basketeers the latter part of October. Many reported, but through various workouts the squad was cut down to sixteen, including Bernard Taylor, Joseph Taylor. Russell Lesher, Elmer Hesse. Leonard Hall. Armin Niederecker. Willford Eckert, Clarence Llewellyn. Eldon Harris. Clarence Distler. Morris Greiner. Lloyd Deppe, Maurice Heien, Edgar Niederecker. Glenn Lawrence, Oscar Cox. and Bruce Rea. Although our basketball season was fairly successful, it was somewhat better than that of previous years. Twenty-five games were played of which we won nine. Twelve of these were conference games of which we won two. At the first of the season we started off with a bang! Defeating New Athens with an uphill score, and losing to the Alumni in a hard-fought game. Next came the Trenton game, which we won by one point in the last minute of play. Our conference opened, suffering a defeat from Mascoutah. in which we were leading up to the last two minutes of play when our defense broke, only for Mascoutah to sink two long shots. The next conference games were with New Baden and Madison which we lost after a hard-fought game. I hen came the Lebanon game. We succeeded in beating Lebanon for the first time in five years, in one of the hardest fought games of the season. Left to Right—First Row: Eldon Harris. Clarence Llewellyn. Willford Eckert. Bernard Taylor, and Clarence Distler: Second Row: Russell Lesher. Arthur Schroeder. Leonard Hall, Armin Niederecker. Elmer Hesse, Joseph Taylor, and Coach Morris. Thirty-nine Our next game with Troy was a decided victory for us. Motoring to Marissa and Trenton we again suffered defeat, losing to Marissa in the last quarter of play. The next conference games, with Dupo. Mascoutah, New Baden, and Madison, were all defeats by one-sided scores. When Red Bud came here we surprised the fans by winning a hard fought game, having fallen at the hands of our opponents at the first of the season. The last two games of the season were victories for us. winning from Marissa by one point after being in the lead throughout the entire game. Then came the Dupo game. It was a one-sided victory at the expense of Dupo. It was the fastest game of the season, dotted with good defensive work and accurate shooting. Thus ends the basketball career of five players, Leonard Hall, Elmer Hesse. Clarence Distler. Willford Eckert and Armin Niederecker. Coach Morris awarded letters to the following men: Leonard Hall. Elmer Hesse. Clarence Distler. Willford Eckert. Armin Niederecker. Joseph Taylor, Bernard Taylor. Clarence Llewellyn, Eldon Harris, and Russell Leshcr. Mr. Jones, coaching the second team, developed some new material for the succeeding years. The second team had some close and interesting games, winning nearly half of the games scheduled.

Willford Eckert, and Armin Niederecker. LEONARD HALL Hally”—who acted as captain most of the year, was a very dependable guard, breaking up many a play with his quickness and alertness. This year ends his career. He will be missed greatly. ELMER HESSE Chriss —although not playing regular the last few games, was a wiz on the defense, holding his position as guard splendidly when called upon. Although this being his first year as a regular, he will be greatly missed by next year's team. ARMIN NIEDERECKER Chick —our “six foot three center, could always get the tip for the boys. He was clean, had lots of pep, and was our cog on offense. He will be remembered a long time as our “Slim Jim. and will be missed next year. CLARENCE DISTLER Dish —playing his first year of basketball, was always on the defense. The best of his work was shown with the second team, where the team cen- tered around him. CLARENCE LLEWELLYN Ida —was an outstanding guard on the second team. He still has two more years to go and prospects are good. ELDON HARRIS Dutch —although small, was fast on his feet and a fair shot. Playing with the second team this year, he should be a first stringer next year. JOSEPH TAYLOR Sam —was a fast and dependable player. He was always in the thickest of the fight and many times his long shots were effective. He still has another year and much is expected from him. BERNARD TAYLOR Tates —breaking into the lineup, the last half of the season, was a constant fighter and had a good eye for the basket. Although this was his first year, much is expected of him next year. RUSSELL LESHER Jimmie”—playing his second year, was a big help to the team. He was fast and a bear” when it came to scoring. Although small, he fooled his opponents when it came to defensive work. WILLFORD ECKERT Wilk —playing his first basketball, was a dependable fighter when called upon. He always had the never give up spirit. Forty-one Baseball Season Our baseball season of ‘28 was very successful. The squad being com- posed of—Edwin Rasp. Joseph Taylor. Russell Lesher. Henry Schwartz. Russell Conklin. Herman Miller. Charles Meulchi. Clifton Joseph. Gaylord Songer, Edwin Pfieffer, Leonard Heidorn. and Orville Zimmerman. Our present indications are that the season of '29 will be more successful with several of the old men back and plenty of raw material. We hope to lead the conference, which is as follows: April 19 .............................Madison There April 26 ....................Lebanon Here May 3....................................Mascoutah Here Our track team will be present at three main events, the McKendree Meet on April 27. the County meet during the first part of May. and the Three- Way Meet between the schools of New Baden. Freeburg. and O'Fallon, to be held at O’Fallon in the early spring. The track meet of 1928 was very successful for us. as we took second place in the County Meet. Conklin took first in javelin, disk. shot, and high jump, setting three new records. Herman Miller set a new record in high jump. Henry Schwarz took second in pole vault. The relay team, consisting of Pfieffer. Schwarz. Miller, and Greene, took second place. Track Schedule Forty-two T ennis Tennis has been organized as a conference sport, and we hope to rank high in this hew field of endeavor. There will be two singles and one double match to be played with each school in the conference. Boys' Basketball tournaments were played March 14-15; the Seniors drawing the Sophs, and the Juniors drawing the Freshies. On the 1 4th the first games were played. The Sophomores and Freshmen were both overwhelmingly defeated by the upper classmen. On the 15th the final games were played. The Seniors defeated the Juniors 28 to 16 and the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen 1 6 to 8. Thus the places are held accord- ing to classes—Seniors first. Juniors second. Sophomores third, and the Fresh- men last. On March the 18th. the girls' tournament will be played. The Seniors will meet the Sopfjomores and the Juniors the Freshmen. The personnel of the girls' teams is; Seniors—Josephine Willard, forward: Vera Klein, forward: Arline Mor- gan. guard; Evelyn Asbury. guard: Helen Reichhold. jumping center: Louise Thompson, running center.

Fifty Orchestra Under the careful leadership of Mr. Hinchcliff. the orchestra, which is now in its fourth year of existence, is showing splendid improvement. The vacancies left by last year’s students were ably filled by others, many being freshmen. The members are: Pianists—Mildred Trippel. and Arline Davis. Violinists—Vera Klein, Adolph Kraske, Lucille Trippel. Gustave Budina. Laverne Hemmer. Margaret Ritchie. Mary Greiner. Cornetists—Walter Fischer, and Margaret Coughlin. Saxophonists—Grant Willard.

One morning the orchestra gave a program for the student body which was as follows: 'Our Student's March by Emil Ascher The Pilgrim's Chorus by Richard Wagner Sweet Melody by Emil Ascher The War March by F. Mendelssohn Fifty-one Home Economics Club NAMES OF OFFICERS President Vice-President Helen Reichhold Flora Schneider Secretary T reasurer Katherine Willard Grace Bailey Mrs. Peterson Faculty Advisor Aims: 1. To form a connecting link between home and school. 2. To train young women to be active and efficient leaders in home and community. 3. To furnish an opportunity through organization for social life, such as programs, social gatherings, and picnics. This year the club has taken over a point system, made out by Mrs. Peterson. Each girl is to earn one hundred fifty points a semester before she is eligible to membership in the club. The ceremony of initiation was a very impressive one. It took place after school in the rest room, which has been furnished as a club project. Also, as a way of making money, the girls have decided to sell sand- wiches and refreshments at the lunch hour. A considerable amount has been made in this manner and more funds are expected to be raised during the remainder of the school year. Thus, we see the club is an active one and will continue to be so in the future. Fifty-two The Literary Societies The literary society this year has been divided into three subdivisions, under the direction of Miss Lamb, Miss Thompson, and Mr. Runkwitz. Each division is doing its utmost, and on several occasions joint programs have been given for the benefit of the public. One of these was given on Washington's birthday. The program was as follows: Song By the School Essay Alice Hinchcliff Gettysburg Address Carl Niehaus Essay (Lincoln) Bf.rnetta Joseph Essay (Washington) Elmer Hesse Parts of Washington's Farewell Address ELMO JOSEPH Reading Margaret Schachner Song By the School Beginning in April joint meetings will be conducted by the three societies. Debating Club This year is the first year that we have had a debating club. One was formed at the beginning of the year under the supervision of Mr. Morris and it seems to be making a great deal of progress. Its members are: Elmo Joseph Clarence Brewer George Voellinger Raymond Depril Ai.bfrt Ohlendorf Adolph Ambry Carl Nif.haus Alice Behrens Arnold Lurtz Leroy Brendel Aucust Platz Walker Shaw Wesley Knight Clarence Distler Annice Willard Arline Morgan Russell Nails Vera Klein ■ T hey have held four minor debates within the club during the year. Debates with Mascoutah and Lebanon are scheduled for March 15th and March 1 6th, respectively. The subject being, Resolved, that Congress shall have the power to limit, regulate, and prohibit child labor.” The personnel of our teams is as follows: AFFIRMATIVE Ari.ine Morgan. Leroy Brendel. and Clarence Distler NEGATIVE Elmo Joseph. Alice Behrens, and Vera Klein G. A. A. Names of Officers President JOSEPHINE WILLARD Vice-President FLORA SCHNEIDER Sec’y-Treas. HELEN REICHHOLD This organization, under the direction of Miss Young and Miss Stedlin. has been very active during the past year. On Friday. March 1st. the girls held a contest, sponsored by the state league. It was a basketball shooting contest. In the contest the girls were allowed twenty-four throws to make eight shots, from various angles. The Freshmen girls won the contest and are eligible to enter the district meet. The girls have held class tournaments for three years. Last year, the basketball tournament was open to the public and a large crowd attended. It resulted in a victory for the Juniors. The baseball tournament was held after school, and it resulted in a victory for the Freshmen. Last summer a group of G. A. A. girls attended the state camp at Giant City Park. Those who attended from here were: Miss Whitis, Helen Reich- hold. Flora Schneider, Josephine Willard. Evelyn Winter. Elaine Ahring. and Lucille Trippel. The daily routine was as follows: Setting-up exercises, break- fast. hike, dinner, rest hour, sports, supper, and camp singing. A number of girls are planning the same trip this year. Since we have joined the I. L. H. S. G. A. A. we have had a chance to earn awards. Points may be obtained by participating in sports, such as. basket- ball. hiking, tennis, baseball, and roller-skating; also by attending gym and keeping training rules. With the first 600 points, you are eligible to a school award, with the next 600 a state award, etc. A number of the girls have received awards in the past and we hope that there will be more this year. Fifty-four Left to Right—First Row: Russell Joseph. Joseph Taylor. Gustave Budina. and Clarence Distler. Second Row: Leonard Hall. Homer Drake. William Koch, and Walter Fischer. x, The Boys Quartette—1929 There have been three new members added to the first quartette this year—Clarence Distler. Joseph Taylor, and William Koch. The only member remaining from last year being Russell. The boys' places are as follows: Clarence Distler—first tenor. William Koch—second tenor. Joseph Taylor— first bass, and Russell Joseph—second bass. The second quartette is as follows: Walter Fischer—first tenor. Gustave Budina—second tenor. Homer Drake— first bass, and Leonard Hall—second bass. The boys are working hard and are expected to carry away honors for O. T. H. S. in the meets this year, as our former quartettes have done. The numbers to be used by the boys this year are “Music When Soft Voices Die by Elgar, and Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes” by Ben Jonson. On February 21. the boys made their first appearance before the assembly, and they made quite a hit with the student body. Fifty-five Left to Right—First Row: Josephine Willard. Velma Keck. Jean Griffith, and Katherine Willard. Second Row: Vera Klein. Flora Schneider. Lucille Billot, and Mildred Ayers. The Girls' Quartette—1929 The Girls’ Quartette of this year is composed of Katherine Willard—first soprano. Jean Griffith—second soprano. Flora Schneider—first alto, and Jose- phine Willard—second alto. The second quartette is composed of Mildred Ayers—first soprano. Velma Keck—second soprano. Lucille Billot—first alto, and Vera Klein—second alto. They are working diligently and will represent the school in all of the meets which are to be held in the near future. The songs that the girls will use for the contests are Ashes of Roses by Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, and I Would That My Love Could Silently Flow by Mendelssohn. The quartette shows great promise and we have reasons to hope that they will make as good a showing, if not better, than the quartette of last year. Fifty-six Left to Right: Herman Miller. Orville Ayers. Russell Joseph, and Leonard Heidorn. The Boys' Quartette—1928 Last year, the quartette consisted of Herman Miller—first tenor. Orville Ayers—second tenor. Russell Joseph—first bass. Leonard Heidorn—second bass. These boys brought home gold medals from both the McKendree and the County Meets. The boys used the numbers Kindling Wood and Po Little Lamb. ' The boys made several public appearances, before the student body and before the Rotary Club. Each member was also awarded a gold medal at our own intellectual contest, although there was no competition. Fifty-sevrn Left to Right: Flora Schneider. Josephine Willard. Mildred Trippel. and Katherine Willard. The Girls' Quartette—1928 The quartette, last year, was made up of Katherine Willard—first soprano. Mildred Trippel—second soprano. Josephine Willard—first alto, and Flora Schneider—second alto. The girls made several appearances before the students and were pronounced to be the best for several years. The girls used the numbers “Land of the Sky Blue Waters and “Lullaby.’’ These numbers proved to be very successful, for the quartette brought home second place from the County Meet at Dupo. and helped to procure the Intellectual banner for the school. Fifty-eight County Intellectual Champions of 1928 Last year, our intellectual team was champion for the second consecutive year at the county meet, which was held at Dupo.

Fifty-nine Intellectuals 0 Fallon 1 ownship High School was the first school in this vicinity to hold an intellectual contest. Seven years ago our principal. Mr. J. E. Hinch- cliff. instituted the contests as part of the year's extra-curricular work in an effort to develop the talents of the students within the school. It was not long before all of the schools began to take an interest in this, and last year our first St. Clair County meet was held. Thus, a friendly rivalry arose between the schools. In the local Intellectual Contest held at the High School last year, the following students were participants—girl soloists: Josephine Willard. Kath- erine Willard. Mildred Trippel, Hilda Schobert, and Flora Schneider: boy soloists: Lawrence Dame. Russell Joseph. Leonard Heidorn. Orville Ayers. Herman Miller. Leroy Brendel. William Koch.

March 15. the debate teams held debates with Mas- coutah, our affirmative team going there, and their affirmative team coming here. The question for debate was Resolved that Congress shall have the power to limit, regulate, and prohibit the labor of all persons under seventeen years of age.” The results of the debates were complete victories for O'Fallon, both here and at Mascoutah. This was the first event in the County Intellectual Contest, and if O'Fallon does as well in other events as it did in this one. the High School will not have much trouble in winning the meet. This year the St. Clair County Meet will be held on April 20. at Free- burg, Illinois. Sixty-three (Continued from Page )6) at hand, we waited and Wesley also joined our party. As we were waiting for Armin to purchase the tickets at the box office, who should come up. but Fern Copeland and Ed. Creed, happily married and enjoying life in the upper '400'' of New York City. We cordially invited them to join our party. Entering our box, we recognized Arthur Bcgole seated in front of us, who. we learned, was a big butter and egg man of Wall Street. He decided to help us celebrate the occasion by granting us the pleasure of his company. The curtain rose, and the prima donna. Miss Flora Schneider, stepped forth and rendered a very beautiful solo. We couldn't let this occasion pass without informing her of our presence, so Arthur called an usher whom we perceived to be Leonard Hall. Leonard delivered a message to Flora, inviting her to join the party, which she readily did. We, having heard the opera and thinking that it was entirely too early in the evening to disband, journeyed to the theater. The first sounds that struck our ears upon entering the building were the rapturous sounds of the golden voiced organ, which we soon determined could only be played by one person, that person being Russell Joseph, our talented musician. The feature picture having been shown, in which Arthur Schroeder was the hero and who personally accompanied his picture, the curtains parted and the vaudeville began. The master of ceremonies, a silver masked tenor, turned out to be our own Clarence Distler. The first number which he announced consisted of two comedians. Kate and Dupli Kate.' After fifteen minutes of humorous enter- tainment they removed their masks and revealed themselves to be Annice Wil- lard and Arline Morgan. This, we thought, was very appropriate for them, because they were always ready to laugh. The next number was that of an acrobatic violinist and whom should we see but Vera Klein. Next. Clarence presented Arthur, the hero of the picture, in a comedy skit, with his leading lady, a beautiful blonde. Helen Reicbbold. We sent a cordial invitation to all of our class members to join us and met them at the stage door. With this jolly group, we perambulated to the Gingham Inn, a high-class night club. Having secured our reservations, we seated ourselves and were (Continued on Page 70) Sixty-four Social Social Notes HOME ECONOMICS CLUB PARTY A halloween party was given by the club last semester. Spooky games and fortune telling were enjoyed. A delightful luncheon, in keeping with the occasion, was served, consisting of cider and pumpkin pie. Miss Young was given a prize for being the best dressed witch. One of the main features of the evening was the theft of the cider. We wonder????????????? ?????????? SENIOR GIRLS' PARTY The Senior girls surprised Nora McNulty on her seventeenth birthday. They came with the intention of having a good time and they had it. Bunco was played. Prizes were given to Evelyn Asbury and Fern Copeland. The booby was given to Flora Schneider. After this, other games were played, and Nora was presented with a beautiful silk umbrella. A most delicious luncheon was served. After lunch, there was dancing and then the girls departed for home, having enjoyed a perfect evening. GIPSY PARTY Quite a delightful evening was spent down in the gym when the G. A. A. entertained the club members at a Gipsy Party. The lower classmen came all dolled up while the members of the Senior Class masqueraded as Gipsy cap- tains. They came in through the gym windows and captured the Freshie girls. They were taken for a good airing, but were brought back safe and sound. Other games were also played. After a delightful luncheon, the girls departed for home: all having had a wonderful time. CHRISTMAS PARTY The last afternoon before the Christmas vacation, the High School body and the Faculty enjoyed a Christmas party. We had a Christmas tree, and Santa Claus came and distributed candy and a ten-cent present to everyone. There was also assembly singing. VALENTINE PARTY The G. A. A. club enjoyed a delightful Valentine party. Bunco was played and prizes were awarded to Lucille Keller and Elaine Ahring. Conso- lation was awarded to Margaret Coughlin. A dainty luncheon was served after which the girls departed for home, having spent a most enjoyable evening. HOME ECONOMICS INITIATION All Freshman members of the Home Economics Club were initiated into the club on January 22. The initiatory services were held in the rest room, which has been furnished as a club project. BUNCO PARTY Mildred Ayres entertained three tables of bunco at her home on the eve- ning of February 8. Prizes were awarded to Evelyn Winter. Dorothy Joseph, and Edith Taylor. After a delicious luncheon was served, more games and dancing were enjoyed. SENIOR CLUB The Senior girls formed a pinochle club during the second semester. They meet at the home of a different member every two weeks. Many enjoyable times are being spent and it furnishes quite a bit of entertainment for the girls. PIE SOCIAL A new and novel feature of entertainment was introduced one Friday evening after a basketball game, when all of the spectators of the game indulged in a pie social. From this entertainment some money was realized, which was used in helping the Basketball Boys pay for their new uniforms. FRESHMAN PARTY During the first part of last semester a jolly bunch of Freshmen went to the home of Arnold Dickerson where they helped him celebrate his birthday. Games were enjoyed. After a dainty luncheon, the guests departed, saying that they had had an enjoyable evening. LYCEUM '28-'29 As has been the custom the Senior Class sponsored a lyceum for the cur- rent season, which was a decided success. The appreciation of the people was shown by the large crowds which attended the varied programs. Besides the entertainment which the programs furnished to the public it was also a finan- cial asset to the Senior Class of '29. ACCORDION NOVELTY COMPANY This company composed of four very accomplished ladies who played the piano, violin and accordions was the first entertainment which appeared. The program consisted of musical solos, duets, trios and quartettes. One of the ladies, a very capable reader, favored her audience with several humorous sketches. FILIPINO COLLEGIANS A very enjoyable program was given by this company of citizens from the far off island of the Philippines. Their enchanting music was received with much applause. Their manner of presenting the program was very interesting and the strains of classical music and the modern—jazz—were well received by old and young alike. JOHN B. RATTO John B. Ratto. a very clever impersonator of world wide fame, enter- tained a large audience on January 24th. His witty readings were received with great applause. His impersonations of famous American and European heroes were very artistic and true to life. CHIEF STRONGHEART Chief Strongheart is to be the next performer who is to appear April 12th. Chief Strongheart. a full-blooded American Indian, has appeared on the screen and has been a speaker on the lyceum platform for several yea s. Sixty-eight I umor (Continued from Page 64) attracted by a faint voice saying, Cigarettes? Cigarettes?” Turning around we noticed Florenc Gieser employed as the cigarette girl. She joined our group and was soon busy telling us her life's story. Suddenly the lights went out, and a man stepped upon the platform and announced the appearance of the Ziegfeld Follies. A group of very beautiful girls wound their way through the crowd to the platform and were soon busy dancing for us. One of the girls suddenly stopped and stared. Grasping the hand of her companion she rushed over to our table. We were very glad to welcome Mildred Trippel and Josephine Willard to our gang, for we almost had a class reunion now. After a pleasant evening we disbanded, but agreed to meet again on the following morning. After a night spent in happy dreams of high school days. I arose and purchased a morning paper. Upon the front page were the pictures of Elmer Hesse and Willford Eckert, who had made fortunes on the stock market. After seeing this, I decided to invite them to the reunion and immediately phoned them. They were indeed glad to hear from me and promised to be at our meeting place at the appointed time. I. feeling very hungry, stepped out and strolled to a secluded breakfast nook, famous for its hot wheat cakes and syrup. The picture of the proprie- tors was hanging on the wall. I recognized them to be Nora McNulty and Louise Thompson. I asked admittance into the general office and procured the promise of my old schoolmates to also share in our reunion. After eat- ing breakfast, I noticed, as I strolled along the avenue, a smart French Shoppe and decided to buy a frock for the dccasion. A pleasant looking woman came forward to greet me. and who should it be but Ellen Behrens. This was indeed a pleasant surprise and she. after donning her latest creation, joined me. We proceeded to the appointed place and joined the group. Now our reunion was complete and we continued to enjoy the day as much as possible. After a pleasant day's trip we decided to meet annually and to keep in touch with each and every one. Calenbar Calendar SEPTEMBER 4. School days! School days! Dear old golden school days!
