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: - . . .

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. First we sponsored a Stunt Show, then a movie at Barrington, and then came the J uns fe. ., SHl'll0MU1Clf1S, 1932 Front Ituw-Vernon lie-rgnian, Ifllgvlil' Kelly.

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.

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.

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.
