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.
