THE SPOTLIGHT Seniors Lead in Scholarship The year 1933-34 saw an increase in general scholarship among Palatine High School students. The Senior class set the pace with six out of a total of seventeen students on the roll based on grades for the first five six weeks periods. El- eanora Oltendorf, carrying a schedule of five sub- jects, was the senior heading the Palatine High School in scholarship. Eleano1'a's schedule includ- ed Physics, English, Civics, Latin and American History. Mary Sampson was highest in the senior class for a four year average closely followed by Dor- othy Shermer, Isabel Wente, El- eanora Oltendorf, Elsa Mess and Dorothy Meyer. The Freshmen placed two among the four scholarship lead- ers for the year with Eleanor Steinbrinck and Elias Plonsky making unusual averages. Shel- by North was outstanding for the Sophomores and Allenby Plonsky for the Juniors. Girls outclassed boys in total students of high rank, yet the number of boys with superior grades has shown a great in- crease over former years. Five boys made the honor roll and three were ranked among the first six. The local chapter of the Na- tional Athletic Scholarship So- ciety added four new members to the organization this year in Robert Iler, Martin Philbin, Irwin Hahnfeldt and Howard Krambier. These boys were oustanding athletes, yet made grades well above the school average and two of them just missed the year honor roll by a few points. Scholarship of 1934 A Year of Accomplisliment One of the highlights of the school year just completed was the weekly Friday morning assem- bly programs. These assemblies were a great fac- tor in developing a school spirit of loyalty, co-op- eration and unity of action. They offered an op- portunity for pep meetings, announcements by faculty and students, and presentation of school policies by the principal.

A point of 4 or more indicates ali n ug if N- or better Palatine's basketball team was much above aver- age and that undoubtedly had something to do with winning two championships. Graduation from Palatine High is based upon securing 16 credits and the normal schedule is four courses a year leading to four credits. Subjects required for graduation are Ameri- can History, World History, Plane Geometry, El- ementary Algebra, General Science and four years of English. During the year intelligence and achievement tests were given all students and every effort is being made by Mr. Iler and the faculty to im- prove the standing of the school and give the boys and girls better preparation for the life that is ahead of them. P. T. H. 5 ed by every class and organiza- tion of the school and much abil- ity in singing, dancing, drama- tics, public speaking, and instru- mental music was displayed by the students. Many talented speakers and entertainers were brought in from outside Palatine to take part in these assemblies through the influence of Mr. Iler. Out- standing people who appeared before the students were Dr. At- tig of North Central College, Captain Judy, noted writer on the subject of dogs, Dr. Ralph Jones, coach of Lake Forest Col- lege, Hon. Judge Cutting of Chi- cago, first Palatine High School principal, Ted Curtiss, football official, Agnes Cherry, noted reader, and many others. The program contributed by the New Trier High School boys glee club was one of the best. Music was added to the cur1'i- culum this year and a fine start made in develop- ing a band and an orchestra under the direction of Mr. Kay. Miss Cook in charge of girls glee club has accomplished a great deal. The operetta, Mel- inka of Astrakhan brought out the possibilities of Palatine students in the field of vocal music. In athletics Palatine had the best year in the history of the school with basketball titles and outstanding football and track teams coached by Mr. Megel with the assistance of Mr. Vervloet. Miss Jumps coached three splendid plays and a sub-district declamatory winner, to maintain the high standards of the dramatic department. The redecorating of the building and cons- truction of new floors along with improvement of the school grounds was a fine project carried out during the second semester. The Planting of trees and shrubs has done much to beautify the grounds. Students and faculty feel that they have had a very successful year under the new regime and that P. 'l. H. S. has taken a long stride forward. YEAR BOOK THE SPOTLIGHT I EH- .ln .- ERNEST ILER, M. A. Ernest Iler, M. A. Mr. Ernest Iler came to Palatine as principal of the township high school with a fine record and in one year has more than lived up to his reputa- tion as a school administrator and friend of boys and girls. Mr. Iler has had wide experience in the field of school administration having served as super- intendent of large high schools in Iowa and Wis- consin as well as Illinois. Records show outstand- ing work in dramatics, music, debating and ath- letics in the schools under his supervision. He has done much to improve scholarship and the quality of work in extra curricular activities in Palatine. The policy of Palatine High under his guidance is a well rounded education which takes into account the fact that extra-curricular activi- ties contribute just as much or more than the sub- jects studied in the classroom. Mr. Iler is vitally interested in a good athletic program and has done much to assist Mr. Megel in the development of his department. His inter- est in music is shown by the glee club, band, and orchestra which have been organized with the two new teachers, Miss Cook and M1'. Kay, in charge. Probably Mr. ller's outstanding achievement of the year is in building up school spirit and morale. Good citizenship in the school as prepar- ation for responsible citizenship in the world of today is an ideal that has been promoted with encouraging results. Mr. Iler has won the respect and cooperation of both students and faculty. From the standpoint of education Mr. Iler is unusually well qualified as a school principal. He holds a Masters degree in Psychology and Educa- tion from the University of Chicago and has the equivalent of Doctor of Philosophy in the same field. P.T. H. S 1 9 3 4 The School Board Palatine Township High School has a pro- gressive board of education headed by A. R. Skib- be, who holds a high executive position with the Horder Stationery Company of Chicago. Mr. Skibbe is also a leader in other activities of the Palatine community. Wm. Mair in his first year as secretary of the board has been very active in improvement of the school. Mr. Mair is employed by the Bow- man Dairy Company. J. H. Toynton, druggist, is the local business man of the board. Mr. Toyn- ton has served several terms and has shown con- siderable interest in making Palatine's school a better institution. N. L. Thompson is employed by a Chicago hardware firm. Elected to the board a year ago, Mr. Thompson is not unfamiliar with school problems having served in similar capacity several years ago. Three progressive farmers have served as board members the past year and all have children enrolled in the high school. We speak of Dan Bergman Jr., J. H. Kreft and Wm. Neitz who have always been boosters for a good school. Mr. Kreft was re-elected this spring while Mr. Neitz declined to be a candidate due to duties as trustee in his own grade school district. Mr. Malody was elected to the vacancy. The board has co-operated with Mr. Iler in improving the standard of work done in the school and in repairing the building and beautifying the. grounds. The board has made the high school a community center through a liberal but well su- pervised use of community room, gymnasium, au- ditorium and athletic field. I-'rout How -A. ll.

Christina Morris, called Baby by the family though she is nearly seventeen, Henrietta Meyers. Madge Morris, Baby's older sister, Florence Engelking. Eskew Maybank, a friend of Mr. Morris, Martin Phil- bin. Wiillie Baxter, the neighbor boy, Herbert Sweitzer. Jane, Betty, Ruth, friends of Madge, Dorothy Meyer, Frances Cropper, Elsa Mess. Baby Steps Out was presented in Cutting Hall May 4, 1934. The play was of the humorous type. Edna Morris, the domineering wife, had her husband Elmer and younger daughter Baby un- der her control. She favored Madge, the older daughter, and tried to aid her in winning a suit- able man for a husband. Elmer saw his wife's in- justice, and decided to help Baby. The climax came when Baby stepped out with the favored young man, leaving Madge to be escorted by Willie Baxter, the neighbor boy. The play was not very long nor complicated, but was exceptionally well presented. The parts were very well fitted to each member of the cast, and the acting was decidedly above average. P. T. H.

YEAR BOOK E SPOTLIGHT This page tells in words and pictures a brief history of the class of '34. The Senior class this year has a record in scholarship that will challenge any class grad- uated from Palatine. Miss Hackbarth advised the class through its first three years and Miss Cook and Mr. Mc- Elroy helped the class in its final year. 1934 Upperclassmen in '33, '34 Our Junior year was quite an eventful one and most of our activities were centered about the pi om.

Shirley ior play, all of which were very successful and helped to make the prom a gala affair. one party, exclusively for the Juniors, was held at Christmas time at the home of Miss Hackbarth. September, 1933, finally 1'olled around and we entered school feeling rather amazed at the fact that we were really finally, Sen- iors. Mr. Iler had come to take Mr. Butler's place and although we were sorry to see Mr. Butler leave, we were eager to start work under our new superintendent. The class con- tinued to rank high in athletic as well as scholastic ability and we had a very fine year as far as they were concerned. The Seniors topped all the classes in names on the honor roll and defeated the juniors 19 to 18 in the interclass basketball finals. Senior players we1'e big factors in winning the conference cage championships. The Senior play and the Prom were big events of the final -students ranked exceptionally high in llolnn-s, Gustav Nt'll!VilIlIZ. llnynioml Ilinrie-hs. Norman Iievlfinziin. Underclassmen in '31, '32 ln case of fire, it won't be necessary for the Freshies to run because fire doesn't burn green things. That's the manner in which the upper classmen greeted us when we first en- tered P. T. H. S. We weren't children any longer, but young men and women. Our class, numbering 46 students, was one of the largest that had ever been enrolled in High School up to that time. Most of our first year was spent in getting acquainted and trying to at least act ambitious. A number of the scholarship and some of the boys show- ed great athletic ability. Ou1' Sophomore year proved successful in many ways. We had several delightful parties, and by that time our athletes had made a great name for themselves. Norman Beckman and Lee Blankenship received letters and several boys held track records. The class continued to rank high in scholar- ship and those who did exceptionally well were Elsa Mess, Dorothy Meyer, Eleanora Oltendorf. Mary Samson, Dorothy Shermer and Isabel Wente. P. T. H.

Their disposition, their talent, falthough much more developedj and their other virtues were the same as they had been theng but were used more to the advantage of the school. In the sport showup we found Engelking, Helms, Krambier, Kruse, Neagle, Reuse and Tudy- man on the regular grid squadg while Blanken- ship, E. Hahnfeldt, Krambier, Kruse and Reuse held positions on the heavyweight cage squad. Blankenship and E. Hahnfeldt brought home first place medals from the Springfield track meet in which seventy-seven schools participated. In the dramatic field, talent was unveiled in the Junior comedy success Enter the Hero as well as in the Dramatic club mystery play As the Clock Strikes. Maurine Roberds placed third in the dramatic branch of the declamation contest at Dundee. Nine out of the fourteen leads of the operetta Melinka of Astrakhann were played by Juniors. In other fields of activity there are Frank DeBerge, foremost salesman of the Magazine Sub- scription campaigng Emma Grace Trepus, twice Maurine Roberds, Homecoming Queen, and Ruth Wendland, consistent honor roll student 1934 Enter the Hero Since it is a custom for people who write about a school play to praise it in all SO1'tS of fashion, it is needless to comment further on the success of the Junior play, it automatically becomes a suc- cess. But without jest, if the receipts reflected the popularity of the Junior play, then the play was indeed popular. Frank DeBerge, the meek lover in the farce comedy Enter the Hero played opposite Emma Grace Trepus, his protector and bride-to-be. Al-- lenby Plonsky, a suitor, and Wayne Drewes, the father, presented the lover's stumbling blocks. Vivian Stewart, the aunt was a comical character While Marjorie Beckman, Esther Zyc, Geraldine Danielsen and Kenneth Stroker were the lovers' allies. Jack Bretsnyder, the life guard, was both friend and enemy of the two. Miss Jumps again scored a dramatic triumph as director. Frank DeBerge was the outstanding player in a difficult characterization. Emma Grace Trepus deserves special mention. The Juniors made money on their play but they needed lots of it to put on a prom that would rank with the best Palatine High has had. Candy sales at games and a show at Barrington helped. Miss Jumps and Mr. Vervloet were good advisors and their efforts were appreciated. ink D If lin Ire l'IlII1IlI mn I XS asm, Dicxses Hsiin btewsalt Nlnxjoiit littkinin . I 1': ' 0 I-1114: - . . .

There were two new ones added to the class, Nor1'is Kells from Kelvyn Park High School, and Harold English from Bensenville. On Friday evening, November 24, the Freshmen and Sophomores had a party. The ev- ening was spent in playing games, and dancing. Later cocoa and sandwiches were served in the cafeteria. The Sophomore boys have had a very suc- cessful year in athletics, therefore promising good material for the future teams. The football teams would not have been com- plete without a few of these boys. Oliver Nelson and Norman Gaare were the lucky ones to get heavyweight letters. The boys also made a good showing on the basketball floor. Several boys were on the first team, while the others were on the second team squad. In the inter-class tourney, the Juniors proved themselves superior to the Sophomores but they surely had to work hard for their victory. In the next year the boys hope to be the champs. P. T. H.S 1934 FI'ZSl'lmCl'l On September 5, 1933, the doors of the P. T. H. S. opened to a new crop of Freshmen. The class consisted of about 59 pupils, but during the year Virginia Helgeson moved from Palatine. Later in the year, Donald Bush joined the ranks of the class. The first day of school was a very trying one for most of the newcomers, but as the year wore on, the Frosh became well acquainted with the upper classmen. On a balmy eve of October, the upper class- men gave a Freshmen Welcome Party, as is the custom of P.T.H.S. The Frosh were rather shy when it came to dancing, but later in the year came back with a bang at Freshman-Sophomore party. During the year many Freshman boys have proved themselves worthy of playing football, bas- ketball, and track. Some of the outstanding work of the boys was done by Ward Wente and Thomas Philbin in football, and Elvis Foster, who shows promise of being a basketball star du1'ing the next few yea1's. During the yea1', the upper classmen had little confidence in the Freshmen's abilities, but their opinions were reversed, when on Friday, April 27, the Frosh gave the usual Friday morning assem- bly. Many of the students demonstrated their ability in singing, dancing, and dramatics. Freshmen officers for the year were Thomas Philbin, president, Eleanor Steinbrinck, vice-presi- dent, and Elias Plonsky secretary-treasurer.

YEAR BOOK THE SPOTLIGHT When better plays are coached Miss Verna Jumps will coach them, seems to be the sentiment of students and people of the Palatine community. Each time a play is presented we hear people saying it is the best Miss Jumps has coached.

Dramatic Club ln the Declamatory contest at Dundee, Pala- tine was represented by three students of the Dramatic Club. Edwin Ketterman speaking in the Humorous, read Dad Says So Anyhow, which placed first. Maurine Roberds speaking in Dramatic, read Connor, which placed third. Frances Cropper speaking in Oratorical Declam- ation read, Our National Responsibilities. Ed- win, however, did not place at De Kalb. Every third Monday of the month the Dra- matic Club held their meetings. Programs, which were planned by an appointed committee, we1'e given after the business had been discused. These proved to be very interesting. The general assembly programs wouldn't have been complete if the Dramatic Club hadn't done their part. In honor of Columbus Day, a playlet entitled, Columbus Brings Home the Ba- con was given, under the direction of Miss Jumps. Another one act play was given by the members of this year's Dramatic class at Christ- mas time. This helped increase the Christmas spirit of every one. The Mother's Day program was given in the usual manner by the Dramatic Club. After the program a cairnation was given every mother present and delicious punch and cookies were served. This year brought the discovery of much new talent in dramatics. P. T. H.

Allenby Plonsky The action takes place in the drawing room of Nick Bolton's country house by the sea in New England. Space does not permit a detailed account of the play nor of the cast who so creditably inter- preted the roles. It was a mystery play and quite different from most high school plays of the past. Though there were no murdered bodies falling out of closetsg no bats, gorillas, nor escaped lunatics, and no bloodshed, yet there were enough hair rais- ing moments to satisfy the most bloodthirsty, enough humor to please the most facetious, and enough puzzling situations to intrigue the keenest of the would-be Sherlock l'Iolmes's. The complete harmony and unity of the cast was apparent all through the play. Each worked on the principle the play's the thing and there were no stars . For three of the cast, this was their deblutg but one noticed no unusual nervous- ness nor lack of poise because of that. Each role fitted so well into the whole that the general ef- fect was very satisfying.

The girls were being placed according to their singing range. October-The first public appearance in as- sembly-shy, but they really had something. November - An invitation came to sing be- tween acts at the Methodist Choir Operetta. Also assisted in the Thanksgiving program before the assembly, November 22. December arrived and gave them the oppor- tunity to make their debut at a formal appearance to which the public was invited. The occasion was a sacred Christmas Concert, December 21. January introduced small trios who have sung before assembly programs and in Sunday church services. February brought the operetta books Mel- inka of Astrakhanf' Work on the choruses began. March and the cast was chosen. April-The operetta getting closer. May-The operetta, Melinka of Astrakhann was presented in all its glory. P. T. H.S 1934 Harmony Snatchers The Spotlight is a good place to let the public have some inside information of the Palatine Har- mony Snatchers. The dance band had its origin with a group of ambitious young crooners, moan- ers, and what have you, during the summer of 1933. Said disturbers of the peace collected or- chestrations from unknown points of Palatine and began hammering away in each other's homes as long as could be tolerated. When school began the efforts of the new instrumental music teacher were drafted and immediately things began to draw sparks. The first was the nicknaming of the band to H. G. Cham and gravyj which thc newcomer explained was fitting because all bands playing only choruses were branded as 'ham and gravy' bands. Soon the phrase took humor and each piece of music is now marked: 'HG' or 'AT' accordingly as the band chooses to play ham-gravy fashion or all through. Early in the year the PTHS dance band prove-d its usefulness by playing for a number of the opening school parties and for the opening of assembly programs. The community became in- terested and su1'rounding 1'ural school districts, and for the entire year the band was very busy with many community functions,-providing cake was served. Night practices offered much fun with the usual temperamental practices followed by-more cake. Early in the spring the band showed its ego- tism by playing such dance classics as Dinah, Tiger Rag, and St. Louis Blues, which ended- not bad! The Harmony Snatchers furnished music for the three school plays of the year and played at several church dinners. A school function of any sort did not seem to be complete without the pep- py dance band. The final appearance of the school year was the grade school commencement. Louise W4-lite.

Concert Crcliestra the organization of the high school concert or- chestra. At first interest seemed lacking in this activity but the few who were interested would not give up. By the middle of the year interest began to grow and a full orchestra was developed. The entire year was devoted to study of concert music consisting of marches, overtures, Waltzes, and other types of light concert numbers. The orchestra was heard at several assembly programs early in the year but its first truly suc- cessful appearance was the night of the Band-O12 chestra concert, May 11. At that performance the orchestra played five selections that were graciously appreciated by an attentive audience. During the remainder of the year the orchestra made two public appearances: at the operetta, May 17 and 18, and at Commencement, June 5. At the former, several lighter concert num- bers were playedg but at the latter the best works studied during the year were played: March Mil- itaire by Schubert and Harmoniana Overture by Galuski. At the end of the year, interest was not lack- ing and the outlook for the coming year seemed encouraging and without doubt the most difficult part was in the past. P. T. H. S 19 34 Band No basketball or football game is quite com- plete Without a band to add the thrill of victory marches. Crowds are stirred to new enthusiasm by the strains of band music, leading in their school song. Band music is the product of Ameri- can music, and during the twentieth century bands in the United States have set the pace for the world. For many years every town or city sup- ported a band, but more recently, no school is declared progressive without a band. Early in the school year, the high school band was reorganized and practice began. Two weeks later the band made its first appearance at a game, being able to attempt four selections. From that time on the band was at every home football game, ever trying to stimulate a little more enthusiasm and pep. Then came the Heights game, and was it cold 7 but the band was there and held its own against the larger band of the rivals. Then came basketball, and the band corner held forth at every game with a collection of fif- teen numbers. Toward the end of the season these were well known, however. Something had to be done, so the band began to sing?, about Charlie, and Margie, and Eddie. With basketball season over several additions were made to band from the teams, and work be- gan on the concert. The concert was given May 11 and climaxed the season for the band. The concert contained several solos with band accom- paniment, and we never will forget our Herbie and Deep Bass. During the year, the band had its first taste of broadcasting and was heard more than 50 miles. V lfiont llow-'Marjorie Maxwell. l i'nncPs S1'li1'o4-mler, Kathryn 131-ewes, 1'l1'IIlll'0S Uroppor.

Home Economics Club The Home Economics department has had an active year. Early in the fall a reception for Mrs. Ernest Iler was sponsored. Food was pre- pared by the girls of the club and a style show of cotton dresses was presented by the sew- ing class. Mrs. Lavender, representing an Elgin depart- ment store, gave a lecture to club members and their mothers on Textiles and Fall Trends. The clothing class completed four projects this year as follows: Q17 a cotton problem with choice ol' making pajamas, shorts, aprons or slips, 121 a cotton dressg Q31 a wool dressg C41 a silk dress. In a McCall dress contest Esther Zyc won first, Janet Pomeroy, secondg and Evelyn Schwo- low, third. Mrs. Ernest Iler, Mrs. Adolph God- knecht and Mrs. Feddler were the contest judges. The Foods class had the unusual opportunity of managing a cafeteria on a large scale. Every girl worked at each cafeteria station two Weeks. The cafeteria was open all winter to students and faculty and the sum of 35294.48 indi- cates the volume of business. In December the foods class gave a banquet to the board members, their wives and the faculty. P. T. H.S 1 9 3 4 Girls Athletics President ............... ........ F lorence Eng-elking Vice-President ........ ......... H bnrietta Meyers Treasurer ........,.. ................ D orothy Shermer Sponsor .,...... ....... P auline A. Hackbarth The G. A. A. met at the beginning of the year to decide what they should do since they no longer belonged to the state organization. lt was agreed that it would be best to retain the same standard of points for awards as those set up by the na- tional G. A. A.-namely 1200 points for a school letter. Since Friday night was the only night set aside for girls athletics it was decided that man- agers for each sport should be chosen and be rc- sponsible for their sport. The following Junior girls were chosen: Vivian Stewart-Roller Skat- ing, Maurine Roberds-Hiking, Emma Grace Tre- pus-Bicycle Riding, and Kathryn Hans-Gym. Among the to be remembered events are found the roller skating treasure hunt, the hike to the show at Barrington and the return truck ride, the annual breakfast hike to Arlington and finally but still felt, the 12 mile bike ride. The remaining Friday nights were spent in playing Volley Ball, Basketball, and Baseball. A luncheon was given by the other members of the G. A. A. to the following girls who received their school letter: Geraldine Danielsen, Alberta Wetterer, Marjorie Beckman, Vivian Stewart, Winifred Krambier, Dolores Meyers, Florence En- gelking, Elsa Mess, Isabel Wente, Esther Reuter, Emma Grace Trepus, Maurine Roberds, and Kath- ryn Hans.

The Spotlight Staff The Spotlight year book was published this year without soliciting the business men for ad- vertisements. A magazine subscription drive for the Crowell Publishing Company netted S77 and the rest of the expenses were met by sale of books and assessment of school organizations. The engravings which appear in this book were made by the Jahn and Ollier Company of Chicago. The photography is the work of the Root Studio of Chicago which made the senior, faculty and basket ball photos and of Mr. H. A. Kincaid who took the remaining group pictures. H. C. Paddock and Sons of Arlington Heights printed the book as usual. Mr. Stuart Paddock of this firm has always co-operated with the school and Spotlight both in printing the book at lowest possible cost and in helping the school paper. Dur- ing the past two years Mr. Paddock has given the school a special section in his paper, a favor great- ly appreciated. Dorothy Shermer edited school news the first semester and Vivian Stewart has held a similar position this semester as well as editing the year- book. Both girls have exceptional ability. The yearbook features the seniors but the staff has endeavored to give all organizations a share of space in proportion to student interest in their work. P. T. H. S 1934 Commercial Department The closing of the school year has again shown a very marked improvement in the Commercial Department. In shorthand many girls have done much more work than is required for credit. In bookkeeping the students showed exceptional interest in their work throughout the year, and very successfully completed their sets. In the three divisions of the Commercial Department, the stu- dents have acconlpllslled 111 one year tlle ablllty to hold successfully any position in the commelclal line. They have not only Lll0I'OUgllly mastered their subjects, but also have been taught the most essentlal qualifications ol a good secretary. ln shorthand, the outstanding work was done by Marjorie Maxwell, fiernlce Werner and KLILII Wendland, who have passed both their 80 and 100 transcriptions. Geraldine Danielsen has also passed her 80 test, which is the requirement Iol credit in second year work. Special honor was given to Geraldine when she received the Gregg shorthand pin for the most artistic shorthand notes in her class. This was presented to her in connection with the Order of Gregg Artists Cer- tificate which the following girls were awarded: ltuth Wendland, Bernice Werner, Cecelia Harz. Winifred Krambier, Mignonne Mistele, Mildred Bittner, Dorothy Weller, Marjorie Maxwell, Kath- ryn Smith, Marjorie Beckman, Dolores Meyers and Pearl Leseberg. As a special gift to the students. lVliss Smith presented their certificates attractive- ly framed, and ready to be hung on the wall. The girls were very much pleased with this new idea. In Typing 1 the class did good work through- out the year. Ruth Wendland and Mildred Bitt- ner made their 50 test, which is 50 words per min- ute, writing for 15 minutes. Vivian Stewart made a 15 minute perfect in April, writing at the rate of 40 words a minute. Bernice Werner and God- frey Schinkosky had 10 minute perfects in Febru- ary and March respectively. 91 Wi of the class have accomplished more than the requirements for 21 passing grade. 40 words a minute, for 15 min- utes with 5 errors or less is required for credit the first year. In Typing II, the students have completed one budget each week, including stencils, invoices, le- gal forms, building contracts, deeds, etc. Ruth Wendland has the honor of receiving a bookkeeping pin for having the highest average on the nine standardized examinations which are sent to the school from the South-Western Pub- lishing Company. Certificates of Proficiency are given to all students satisfactorily completing four sets of bookkeeping. YEAR BOOK THE SPOTLIGHT ALUMNI OFFICERS A. G, Humphrey '13 ....A....,.,.,...,..,..,,.,.....

Alumni Association The Palatine Township High School Alumni association welcomes the Class of 1934 to its ranks, which with their addition now number 491 members. All graduates of the school automatical- ly become members of the organization, founded in 1888, eleven years after the first class had been graduated from P. T. H. S. The alumni association binds together all the graduates of the school to maintain the fellow- ship, loyalty, and unity of interests of student days. Membership in the organization is auto- matic, benefits and activities are constantly being increased, dues were abolished during the past year. Today the alumni are showing more activity and accomplishment than ever before. Members of the graduating class are the as- sociation's guests at the annual re-union banquet and dance held every year soon after commence- ment. This also is the annual business meeting of the year, to which the officers report and at which elections are held. For many years this banquet and dance has been an annual spring social highlight of the com- munity. For it old grads return to their alma mater and meet those who have just left school on common ground and with common interests as alumni of Palatine Township High School. P. T. H.S 1934 193 3-34 Alumni Activities With the fall of 1933 the alumni association entered its second year of enlarged activities. Un- der the organization adopted within the last few years, the officers of the association together with the chairmen of the various committees form the association's board of directors who meet from time to time to criticise the progress of the year's program and to plan coming events. The first meeting of this group together with members of all the committees was held last fall and a tentative series of 15 activities planned for tile 1933-34 year. Space permits the mention of only the high- lights in this program, of which the scavenger hunt directed by the social committee was one. Alumni and guests enjoyed hunting for mustache cups, feather ticks, and 1nen's black high button shoes. A song fest led by Oscar Leonard Gustaf- son, brought here by the chairman of the cultural committee was another highlight. A Hallowe'en party was directed by the social committee which also had charge of an earlier beach party, of a skating party, and of an indoor party at which dancing and games were enjoyed. The athletic committee sponsored a ping-pong tournament and two boys basketball teams. The climax of the alumni year will be the an- nual reunion banquet-dance June 16.

With four lettermen and a flock of inexperi- enced underclassmen Megel turned out a team which met all opponents on even terms. Palatine was the most im- proved ball team in the conference this year.

Who wouldn't work for him? two ties, and two defeats in the Confer- ence, and a pair of victories outside the loop. The Pirates scored 52 points to 57 for their opponents. Coaches Megel and Vervloet had a big squad numbering about 40, but the pros-- pects were discouraging. Only Philbin at end and Hinrichs at tackle were experi- enced linemen while De Pue and Reuse were the only backfield veterans. However the new men learned rapidly under expert coaching and the veterans rose from medi- ocre players in 1932 to conference stars in 1934. The season opened with a 12 to 0 victory over Niles Center as a feature of the Pala- tine Fall Festival. The following week Pal- atine traveled to Gurnee to meet the highly touted Warren eleven and played great ball to se- cure a 7 to 7 tie. Palatine had a big edge over War- ren and the breaks are all that prevented a victory. Outplaying Bensenville by a wide margin, the Pirates scored but once for a 6 to 0 victory bc- cause of fumbles and other breaks handed the op- position. The veteran Leyden eleven was played on even terms except for a few plays in the second and third periods when the Eagles scored to win 12 to 0.

Goal line fumbles were all that saved Barrington from de- feat as the Pirates threatened repeatedly. Arlington defeated Palatine 32 to 13 in a free scoring game. Palatine could not stop Koel- ling and S. Szasz and neither could the Cards handle De Pue and Tudyman. The first downs were 10 to 8 and Palatine had its best yardage record of the year with 171. The season ended with a 14 to 6 win over Bensenville. P.'l'.H.S YEAR BOOK Palatine, with two cage titles in a single sea- E SPOTLIGHT The boys pictured below brought two cage titles to Palatine this season, but Carl Megel. the man behind the teams, is the big reason for this success. Intensive train- ing in fundamentals started three years ago under Megel's expert instruction has brought unusual results. Megel's Pirates could do everything well. That's why they are champs. 1934 Heavyweight Champions Palatine's heavyweights had a great season with 10 conference victories scored at the expense of Wauconda, Arlington, Ela, Antioch and Leyden.

Lightweight Champions came right after a hard conference tour- nament in which Palatine played three games and was crippled by injuries. The rirates swept through all opposition to close the season, trouncing Arlington, Ley- den, Ela and Antioch on successive Fri- days. Antioch was handed the worst trim- ming of the year when the Pirates tri- umphed 58 to 27 a week after the Indians had held Libertyville to a two point mar- gin. This climaxed a championship season. Palatine had a rangy team of veterans well coached in fundamentals and team play. A f ast break and shifting zone de- fense featured the play of the well bal- anced Pirate machine. Blankenship and Reuse were high scor- ing forwards, experts in the art of one hand shooting. Both stood well over six feet and were fast. E. Hahnfeldt was an excellent pivot man and the best man in the conference scoring on rebounds. Beckman, floor guard, was the key to the team and was ably assisted by Krambier and Hinrichs, lanky and dependable guards. Iler, I. Hahnfeldt and Kruse of the light- weight team filled in as regulars frequently and several games were won because of the good play- son, had a reserve five capable of playing a num- ber of the heavyweight teams in even terms. The Pirate Lights won 10 out of 12 conference games, losing only to Leyden and Arlington in three point defeats. These teams were in turn defeated 26 to 24 and 23 to 20. Wauconda, Ela, Antioch and Lib- ertyville were twice trounced. Megel's cagers were champions in every sense of the word. The mark of a champion is ability to deliver in the pinch. Palatine did this. Antioch and Libertyville were both defeated twice by one point due to sensational scoring rallies and air tight defensive work. Leyden, finishing in a tie with Palatine, did not meet Liberyville and An- tioch. The cool ball handling and all round play of ller and I. Hahnfeldt made the Pirate reserves out- standing in the conference. Kruse, Engelking and Wittenburg completed the regular quintet. Man- gels, Helms, Stuit, Foster, Neagle, Perry, Frohne, Mess and Schwantz rounded out a squad of capable lightweight cagers. P. T. H.S ing of this trio. N. W.

Huntley dropped the Pirates 31-28 in the second round of the district meet after Hebron had been defeated 28-15. From the standpoint of offense and defense, Palatine ranked highest in the conference. The Palatine boys played team ball and as a result all appeared as stars instead of a few individuals. YEAR BOOK THE SPOTLIGHT 1934 N-W.

A Tough Race To show how hard a cage schedule the Pala- tine lightweights played this year we need only to consider that Palatine won six out ol' eight games with Libertyville. Antioch, Arlington and Leyden yet had a net point advantage over these four op- ponents of but th1'ee points. The little Pirates Won a quartet of tilts with Antioch and Liberty- Ville by a single point in each case and split even with the other two opponents. lt was Palatine's cool deliberate playing, nearing perfection in the critical closing minutes of play, which made them champs. It is more honor to beat a good team by one point than a weak one by 40, so more power to the champions. lf you want to recall one sided games just remember those with Ela and Wau- conda. P.'r.H.s YEAR Book THE SPOTLIGHT Rank Third ln Big Meets Palatine had a good track season which was climaxed by the Northwest Conference meet on the home field in which the Pirates took third place with 21 points behind Arlington and Liber- tyville. The outstanding work of Eddie Hahnfeldt gave Pal- atine state wide recognition. Coach Megel's Pirates were strong in the field events but failed to win many points on the track in the major meets. Dual meets with Barrington and Bensenville were won and second place was taken in a triangular meet with Barring- ton and Arlington. Most of l'alatine's 16 track letters were won in these five meets. In the big Palatine Invita- tional Relays nine schools competed, Palatine rating third with 19 points. Liber- tyville was winner with Crys- tal Lake runnerup. Eddie Hahnfeldt was winner in the discus 132 feet 8 inches and took fourth in javelin and fifth in the shot put. Irwin Hahnfeldt won the shot put with a mark of 43 feet llfg inches. Hinrichs was second in the discus and Waggoner third in the broad jump. Palatine's work in the tenth annual confer- ence meet was featured by the individual per- formance of Eddie Hahnfeldt who smashed the j avelin record with a throw of 172 feet GMQ inches. Ben Grandy of Palatine had set the record of 172 feet 451 inches in 1928. Eddie also won 1934 Eclclie Wins State Honors Eddie Hahnfeldt won eleven medals for out- standing work in five big meets including the state meet at Champaign. In the state meet held May 18-19 Eddie hurled the discus 128 feet 8 inches for third place and the javelin 177 feet 2 inches for fourth place. Both marks made by the Pirate star were better than those winning state championships .in 1933. In the state district meet at Evanston a week earlier he captured first in both discus and javelin, with marks which broke the district records. His mark of 131 feet 7 inches bet- tered the old discus mark of 124 feet, while ajavelin throw of 166 feet 5 inches beat the old mark by 20 feet. Coach Megel took five boys to the Springfield Invitation- al meet early in V the season and as a team finished sev- enth among seventy-seven schools. Eddie Hahnfeldt beat the 1933 state discus cham- pion to win first in his pet event in the major division. Blankenship won the high, jump, I. Hahn- feldt took fourth in the ,shot and Hinrichs fourth in the novice class. Waggoner ran a good race but failed by a small margin in the 440. Coach Megel awarded 16 track letters this season.

We rate Eddie Hahnfeldt as the best junior in the track sport in the state of Illinois. We ex- pect him to win top honors in the state meet next The letter requirement is a first place or 11 points. The first two establish marks for year. Palatine Students are proud of their top ten boys who won letters due the home field.

YEAR BOOK THE SPOTLIGHT Motor League Basketball All players who did not make the first and second team in basketball were organized into a league called the Motor League. Captain Frohne's Austins took first place by defeating Foster's Chryslers in the last game of the season. This put the Chryslers into a tie with the Chevies for second place. The Plymouths, Fords, and Buicks shared honors for the next three places. Each team had at least one second team play- er on it to help run the team. The Chevrolet team had all lightweight players on it but 1934 Melinlca of Astralchan Had you been in Cutting hall on the night of May 18 or 19 you would have witnessed the rich- est and most colorful stage performance ever pro- duced in Palatine.

The course was given in three, daily, one-period classes-two classes for girls and one for boys. At the close of the course the pupils were awarded certificates. Lightweight Football Palatine lights had a good grid season, win- ning three out of five battles with Barrington, Arlington and Bensenville. Many promising players were discovered and given valuable ex- perience, preparing them for regular duty in the next couple of years. Lightweight letter winners this season were Gus Schwantz, Myron Blum, Kenneth Stroker, Wayne Drewes, William Mountain, Marvin Plate, Leslie Deverman, Don Thompson, Eugene Wag- goner, Howard Wittenburg, Thomas Philbin, Ward Wente and Godfrey Schinkosky. Edwin Ketterman and Frank Frohne as Jewish and Chinese salesman respect- ively, and Allenby Plonsky as a Russian Bolsheviki. Athletic Banquet The annual basketball and football banquet was held in the St. Paul's Evangelical Church this year with Gordon Fisher, coach of North Central College, as the principal speaker. Ernest Iler, high school principal, was toastmaster. The part of the program which meant most to those present was Coach Megel's splendid talk prior to presentation of the letters and champion- ship awards. Cheer Leaders and Managers Four athletic managers and four cheer lead- ers were awarded letters this season. Edwin Ket- terman, Kathryn Smith, Dolores Meyers and Ruth Stroker made up the quartet which furnished pep and led the cheering for the champion cagers through a brilliant season. Robert Paddock, Lyle Taylor, John DePue and George Schwankoff earned managers letters and if anyone ever deserved awards this group did. They were constantly on the job and invalu- able helpers for the coach. P.T.H.S YEAR BOOK , , 4 ,, I I 1.
