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.

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: - . . .

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. The trio of plays directed by Miss Jumps this year would be hard to beat. l I'lPlll Row- liilllll'j'll llzuns.

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. S 1934 As The Clock Strilcesu The annual Dramatic Club play, As the Clock Strikes, was given in Cutting Hall, December 8. 1933. The cast was as follows: Nick Bolton, host on a paying-guest house Party ...-..... .................................. F rank DeBerge William, old family servant ...,........

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.
