They believed that various trees had certain dejinf ite meanings, thus, the pine tree indicated com' pleteness of work, of thought, and of character. To them the Pippilla tree was a sign of knowledge and learning. The Roman olive meant peace, the oak designated strength of muscle, endurance, and sturdinessg the laurel symbolized dramatic recognition, and the Acacia, friendship. 'These symbols, with additional ones, we have used to represent the wide range of activities and ac' complishments of the past year at P. H. S., and we take great pleasure in presenting this book. TU lr: lllillllliw E, the Class of193O, dedicate this edition of The Crest to Miss Sue Bartlett, who is retiring at the end of this year. Her spirit of helpfulness, tireless energy, and loyalty to our school, both as an inf structor and as dean of girls, have greatly endeared her to us. We take this opportunity to express our regret that she is leaving us, and to join with the entire school in wishing her great happiness for the future. KIEB RCBROWN Trees I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breastg A tree that looks at God all clay, Ancl lifts her leafy arms to prayg A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hairg Upon whose bosom snow has laing Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. -JOYCE KILMER lx' ii? M Flames, reeds, ahd the Tree of Life Symbols of knowledge and loyalty, Crowned with the star of guidance, Are the emblems of our Faculty. ppp p 'GHE GREST Mr. E. C. Fisher S superintendent of Peoria schools, Mr. Fisher is working steadily toward a goal, which is the realization of a more efficient and beneficial school system. He sums up his ideal of education thus: All education is primarily for the realization of a broader and more useful citizenship. Only a small part of education in citizenship, as such, can be handled in the classroom or even in the school, but a wide cofoperatiye and helpful spirit must he built up which will include the home, the school, the church, and the tovgpr city goyernmental departments. ,pf --11 1 9 3 0 iws-We-ses-M AA-- dm-- Page 0 lGHE GREST g Mr. J.

There are members of the faculty who work on after their duties as teachers are finished, whose un' ceasing work makes school more interesting and worth while for the student. Let us take a stroll through the building this afternoon long after the mass of students has surged through its doors, glad of the release from the day's duties. Let us go in the front entrance, and, as one of the assembly doors is open and a light glimmers through, let's step in- The Wishbone Revue is being practiced, and Miss Buswell is supervising the production, instructing the students in stage technique, planning stage settings, and marshalling forces. Whenever anything in the line of dramatics is going on, or decorating is needed, fremember the decorations at the Senior Hop and Junior Prom last year?j Miss Buswell is always the first person consulted and asked to help. Let us leave the auditorium now and walk down to the front corridor-a light in Mr. Murphy's little office, and we see him trying to make debits and credits balance, for Mr. Murphy, besides being Dean of Boys, is the money man of the school. That is, he is the school treasurer, which means that he has the charge of all finances for the Opinion, for all tickets to games, for all the clubs and organizations, and that he has on his shoulderS the huge job of financing the Crest. As we walk through the back corridor, we see Miss Crowder busily working at her desk, for Miss Crowder is the literary adviser of the Crest, a task which requires much of her time. Now let's go upstairs to the Art Department, which is one of the busiest and most necessary for all the outside activities. Miss Mahoney's students, during six months of school, have made 198 posters used to advertise school activities: Wishbone Revue, Senior Class Play, Crest Subscription Campaign, Basketball Tournament, Jusendra Play, etc. As we walk downstairs to the first floor, we are met by a tall, lank figure, bounding upstairs three steps at a time. Mr. Whitby, of course! He always hurriesg he is always busy doing something for somebody. 'Way downstairs we find Mr. English working in the press room. Mr. English and his staff have won an especial honor this year for the Opinion in the form of a silver plaque given by the Quill and Scroll, the national honor society for high school journalf ists, for having the most outstanding achievement among high school papers in two months. Under Mr. English's supervision, the Opinion has become a real paper, and one of which Peoria High School should be Very proud. - As we walk through the front corridor on our way to the side entrance, we see a light in Mr. Sedgwick's room. 'iBob Sedgwick is another busy teacher, for he is fine ancial manager of athletics. There are many others in our faculty who are constantly working after hours at some outside activity. Mr. Epstein coached the Jusendra evening production this year- a task of no small proportions. Miss Cornelius has in the past few years coached a num' ber of big plays, this year she directed the Senior Class Play, 'iThe Hottentotf' In addition she trains the students in the public speaking department for the Big Twelve Contests and for various oratorical events of the year. Miss Randall has a similar work in the Music Department. Then, the class sponsors are always busy, particularly those who advise the junior and Senior Classes. We complete our tour of inspection, appreciating more fully the work of these teachers, and are inspired by their efforts to make our lives as full as theirs. -- -H -H19 3 O ll--' Page 20 'EHR GREST ln Memoriam T is with deep regret that we view the tragic death on June 28, 1929, of Mr. John Parkhill, one of Peoria High's best known and best loved instructors. Coming to P. H. S. in 1924, he became a member of the Science and Mathematics departments. He took keen interest in athletics, coaching the golf team, and setting an example of true sportsmanship for all with whom he came in contact. He was interested in aviation, both civil and military, and had established an enviable reputation as an efficient and trustworthy pilot. The airplane crash which caused his death cut short a promising career. riosoi- A Page21 EHR GREST A Now aw M And Then HIS page closes the Faculty section, a group of 68 capable teachers, of whom we are justly proud. Our faculty changes considerably from time to time, only this year Peoria High has acquired ten new instructors. Miss Lamberton came to us this year, and is in the Commercial Department. Mr. Shields, Mr. Shepherd, and Mr. Stevens are all new instructors. Miss Smiley took the place of Miss Sankey, who left us for another field of work, and Mr. Cobble replaced Mr. Damon, who is now principal of the Lincoln school here in Peoria. Miss Oekel and Miss Garland were both married during the summer months, Miss Perdew is teaching Spanish in Miss Oekel's place, while Mr. Williams is assuming Miss Garland's work. Miss O'Reilly, our music instructor, left during the first semester to become Mrs. Bernard Seiler. Her place is being adequate' ly filled by Miss Elizabeth Randall. Our girls' gymnasium teacher, Miss Beulah Philpot, was the last to leave us, she departed at the end of the first semester for California, where she is taking a special course of study. Mrs. Haynes is filling this vacancy. How very different from our present beautiful High School the first quaint building bearing the name of old P. H. S. must have been! Located on the second floor of a build' ing recently destroyed to make room for a new and better structure, Peoria's first high school boasted of a principal and two assistants, who administered learning to 60 students. At that time, Peoria was a thriving town of 20,000 population, and claimed the honor of being one of fewer than 50 cities in the United States that supported a public high school. One can easily imagine how proud Peorians must have been of their Brst high school and the first class of four members, graduated from that school in 1858. The next home of our high school was the basement of the Methodist Church, at the corner of Madison and Fulton Streets. This was only a temporary arrangement, due to the crowded conditions of the school. In 1862 a new building on Fisher Street was ready for occupancy. This stood on the site of the present Lincoln School, and was considered quite commodious in its time. It proved adequate for twenty years, but then, by 1884, it had outlived its usefulness, and the building on the corner of Monroe and Fayette Streets, now the headquarters of the Board of Education, was erected. The parents of many of the present members of our student body can remember the 'gGood Old Days in this building. For 32 years this was the seat of advanced learning in our city. Then, in 1916, our present splendid building was erected. We feel that our fine school is a fitting culmination for Peoria High's 70 years of existence. Not only has the building grown, but the student body has increased immeasurably. We now have enrolled over 1,800 students, who are being instructed in the most enlarged and enriched courses of study by a wellforganized body of teachers. 1- My --- a-a--- --M 41 1 9 3 0 1l---'- Page 22 Q vgs ..

HORACE CRAWSHAW Advisers ...... MIss CoPPocK, MR. WHITBY N September, 1926, we entered Peoria High for what seemed to us four long, weary years. We are now finishing the quartet of years, wondering how we could have thought that the time would be long. Each year has been hlled with hard study, but by real labor, We came through each year with flying colors. Many pleasures inter' spersed with the work have made the years more interesting. We feel that we have accomplished much, have laid a foundation for our future, and have made friends who will be lifeflong. Our class, being very energetic, organized in its Freshman year. All through the four years we have been loyal to our class and school. We have supported every worth while movement in the school, and have contributed to the success of the various clubs and organizations. Quite the high light of our Junior year was the Junior Prom held at the Pere Mar' quette Hotel. The novel decorations, in which our colors of orchid and purple were blended with the Senior colors of maize and blue, the good orchestra, and the gay crowd made it an evening to be remembered. - In our Senior year, our basketball team won the interfclass championship, proving that our class has bravvn as well as brains. The class play, L'The Hottentotf' a peppy little comedy by Victor Mapes, was one of the outstanding events of the year, and brought out the discovery that several members of our class had decided dramatic talent. N Graduation now looms in the distance. We realize that we will soon leave Peoria High forever. The years that seemed so long in 1926 seem so short in 1930. In the future we will look back on our high school career as one of the memorable epochs of our lives. H193Oll - Page24 FGHE GREST MILDRED AITCHISON 'Tm not slow-I just take my time.

IJIQBOJJ - Page69 Qi-IE Qxssr Junior Class l-listory HE class of '31 is proving itself to be an excellent prospect for next year's Senior class. It might be said that in the past year, the juniors have been keeping the Seniors busy being as important as that class is supposed to be. In short, the class of '31 promises a mighty peppy and successful school next year. In intellectual achievements, the Juniors shine. They have thirty on their honor roll, and twentyftwo on the shark list. Of these sharks, eight receive all A's4-Fred Bourland, Betty J. Bartholomew, Lucy F. Day, Sherrill Schlatter, Jean Coomber, Catherine McClelland, Dorothy Beasley, and Genevieve Ulrich. Then, too, one of the members of this class, Robert Gamble, won over members of the other classes in an oratorical contest for the purpose of selecting a representative to the Cosmopolitan Club contest and the National Contest. Because of their scholastic record and helpfulness to P. H. S., twenty Junior girls were elected to Charvice, and eleven boys to Promerito. Part of the student government has been influenced by the Junior representatives in the student council: Robert Gamble, Don Morgan, Dorothy Beasley, and Richard Mannschott. Four members chosen as candidates for next year's student president were Catherine McClelland, Robert Gamble, Jean Coomber, and Wayne Matheny- all Juniors. In athletics, White, Eastman, Smith, Walton, Ames, Zimmerman, Tamplin, Grannis, Coker, Deobler, D. Morgan, and G. Livengood show that P. H. S. is not going to start losing all her games just because the Seniors graduated. In class games the Juniors made a fairly good showing, too. S We might mention, also, that the red banner of the Juniors was seen resting at the top of the banking banners for a long period of time. We really had quite an incentive for attaining this place, though, because Iona Harshbarger, chairman of the committee, promised a dance if we kept the banner on top for three weeks. We didwand! man, that dance lvwell, you should have been there. Dance or no dance, the Juniors kept an average of 942, for the year. Of course, the most important event in the social year is the Junior Prom. This year it was held on April 25 at the Pere Marquette Hotel. The ballroom was tastef fully, but simply, decorated in the combined colors of the Junior and Senior classesfthe orchid and purple of the Seniors blending beautifully with the green and silver of the Juniors. The girls in their dainty, yet sophisticated, dresses, the L'Arcadians with their soothing, moaning saxaphones, and the subdued lights made this year's Prom a highflight in the social activities of P. H. S. The Prom committee, Don Morgan, Marian jones, Wayne Matheny, Richard Mannschott, Alice Findley, and Lucy Frances Day, should be congratulated on their management of this gala affair. Much credit for the accomplishments of the class of '31 is due to Miss Alice Ottenf heimer, and Mr. Huber Sammis, sponsors. -MM--at-we-as--M -a --as-.aaa-I1 1 Q 3 0 11-as --- Page 70 AL SQWHWMQQK The Roman Olive, tree of peace, Guides the Sophomoves' steps ascendingg The Clematis vine in upward High: Fovetells a happy ending.

Of course, we were known as those green freshiesf' This year, however, we have only 225 boys and 244 girls, but we are a loyal and dependable class of P. H. S. When we organized in january, we elected officers, and with these and our splendid advisers, Miss Clara Clausen and Mr. Sidney Williams, we hope to do our share here at school. Gertrude Cadogan, Charles Hoerr, and Herman Metzger represent our class in the Student Council. Thanks to the upper classmen who warned us last year about our grades, our scholar' ship is of a high rank. On the Shark Lists we find these names of people who had all A's for the first semester average: Shirley Harms, Charles Hoerr, Dale Freeburg, Elizabeth Miller, Eleanor Wrigley, Ruth Sommer, and Edith Adele Lowry. Others on the Shark List were: Mildred Gallmeier, Mary Louise Jerome, Tom Jamison, Frank Maple, Earle Zinn, Evelyn McKibben, Jean Lowe, Eloise Shaw, and Eileen Block. Thirtyfsix Sophof mores were on the Honor Roll. ' Several Sophomore boys are members of Promerito, namely, Albert Siepert, Jack Markgraf, Earle Zinn, Donald McPherson, and Phil Oakley. Vera Brodman is in Char' vice, the Girls' Honor Society. Besides our scholastic standing, we are glad to hold places in other organizations. We have members and officers in many of Peoria High's clubs. Lyle Williams is the President of Manual Arts Club. Especially are the girls and boys interested in the TrifS and HifY clubs. Eleanor Wrigley is president of junior TrifS. We are not only a studious class, but we are trying to follow Eranklin's advice about thrift. Our officers and committees worked hard to get a high percent in banking, and we did hold first place several times. The Sophomores have run those i'Thrifty Juniors a close race! We seem to enjoy competing with the classmen just ahead, for we tied with the Juniors for second place in Class Basketball this last season. The Sophomore boys have been quite active in Peoria High's sports this year, many of them having earned places on various teams. With all the boys who tried out on teams this year, and those in the class who will be athletes in the next two years, we hope to be able to continue some of the splendid records made by the school teams which worked so faithfully for P. H. S. this past year. Several Sophomore boys have already been enlisted in the Lettermen's Club. They are: Charles Barnes, Bob Slane, Albert Sperlock, and Floyd Doubet. Of those lively cheer leaders whom we saw following our teams this year, several are Sophomores. i'Yea, Maroon! Yea, White! Can't you hear Adrian CSnookiej Dusenberry, Lewis Hirsch, or David Straesser leading that spirited yell? The Sophomore girls like athletics, too. Many of those athletic persons in G. A. A. are Sophomores. Irene Gingry, Margaret Naffziger, and Marlow Schwartz have letters, having earned 600 points each for various activities in sports. Since it is because of the help of Mr. Brewer and the faculty that we can enter into so many activities, we wish to express our appreciation for their patience and help all through the year.

At the beginning of the second semester, about thirty more boys and girls entered, making the total number in the Class of 1935, five hundred and twenty' seven. This is the largest class Peoria High School has ever had. There are two hundred and seventyfsix girls and two hundred and flftyfone and onefhalf boys-the Freshman cheer leader, Clifford Bourne, is only half size. What a class! The boys are entered in the advisory groups of the following teachers: Mr. Sedgf wick, Mr. Troth, Mr. Swanson, Mr. Bockwitz, Mr. Cobble, Mr. Westhoff, Mr. Shields, Mr. Buis, and Mr. Stephens. , The girls' advisers are: Miss Coppock, Miss Reinhard, Miss Cutright, Miss McWhinney, Miss Nichols, Miss Drysdale, Miss Morris, Miss Nina Brown, Miss jones, and Mrs. Haynes. This class has shown a lively school spirit and an interest in all activities. For inf stance, the class has far more Crest subscriptions than any other Freshman class ever had. The boys have been active in athletics. One of the achievements of which we are proud is the defeat of the Sophomores in basketball. Our star basketball players are Edward Kellogg and Charles Harper. Two members of the class are on the crossfcountry track team. They are Roland Lemm and George Luthy. Two representatives, John Newell and Howard Pettett, were on the swimming team. That the Freshmen know the meaning of team work is shown in their banking average, which has risen from sixty and fiveftenths to ninetyffour and sixftenths per cent in fourteen weeks.

Student Council CCONTINUEDD HIS year the Student Council carried out a number of important projects under the efficient leadership of its president, Robert Morgan, and its adviser, Mr. Heghin. CD Complying with the new constitution, five membersfatflarge were elected to the Council. This year the Council adopted a new constitution, whereby the president of the student body would be elected by popular vote of the students. C22 The Council hoped to create better spirit among the students by sticking short moral maxims on every door in school. Dorothy McSkimin with her committee worked hard on this project. C35 The Social Committee, with Helen Price, chairman, and Mr. Bockwitz, adviser, sponsored several successful matinee and evening dances, and a 'ifree for all dance. These were a success both financially and socially. C45 The Sanitation and Grounds Committee, with Charles Hoerr, chairman, not only helped to improve the cleanliness of the school, but also painted the 'iUp and Down signs to direct students to the right stairways. CSD An L'Usher's Club, which had charge of ushering at all entertainments, was organized. C61 A Yell contest was sponsored, in cofoperation with the Opinion.

Richard Mannschott and his cofworkers deserve much credit for editing this book. C105 The bookfexchange was carried on, for the purpose of enabling the students to buy secondfhand books. Dorothy McSkimin, as chairman, worked faithfully, and the money gained was put into the Council treasury. C115 A banking committee was organized, with Forrest Wharry as chairman, in order to stimulate banking habit and interest among the student body.

JEAN STATES HE Social Science Club has been organized in order to develop a better appreciation of the Social studies, to offer greater opportunities for fuller discussions of national problems, and to promote an active and intelligent citizenship among the students. The membership this year has had a decided increase, and We have been fortunate enough to have a larger number of boys enrolled. The club has had a very successful year with many good programs. The Pathfinder, the magazine issued and published by members of the club, has been a success through the support of the members and the work of the magazine staff. The club has enjoyed its annual visit to a historical place in the state, going this year to the site of historic Creve Coeur. This visit was very instructive as Well as being a pleasure trip. The sponsors of the club are Mr. Heghin, the head of the Social Science Department, and the teachers in this department. It is through their cofoperation that the year has been so successful. - Committee chairmen of the club include: Program, Catherine McClelland, Memf bership, William Crawfordg and Social, Elizabeth Jones. l19soj1 Page86 KGHE GREST Top Row-Melody, Shepherd, Martin, Gray, Walker, McElhaney.

Who knows but that a Colonel Lindbergh or a Thomas Edison is lurking around the corner? The purpose of the club is to discover such individuals and help them to realize their talents and develop them. Thirtyffive reels of courtesy films were shown from local and other industries. They were more or less nonftechnical, and were interesting as well as instructive. To give students an opportunity to try out their planes, the physical education department cofoperated in granting the use of the gymnasium on Saturday mornings. The club enjoyed an interesting talk given by Mr. Elwood B. Cole, of E. B. Cole, Inc., on Mapping out Airways. Mr. Cole, who has done some remarkably -fine work of this nature, told of some of his own experiences. The sponsors for the club are: Mr. Gambach, Mr. Barloga, Mr. Westhoff, and Mr. Whitby.

Moving pictures on Plant Growth and Seed Dispersal, and the Life of the Fly were given. In addition, many magazine articles and biographies were presented. Three special groups, wishing to study further, organized the Radio Group, the Geology Group, and the Group for the Classification of Plant Life. The membership has been large, totaling fiftyfthree persons, twentyfone associate and thirtyftwo active members. There are just nine more boys than girls. The purpose of this club, to give scientific knowledge in an interesting way, has been successfully attained through the full cofoperation of students and faculty advisers. -ll193OH Page 88 I T51-IB GREST Top Row-Miss Maxfield, Duke, Gamble, Allen, McLaren, Gadau.

Miss CUTRIGHT, Miss MAXFLELD N 1928, the Debating Club was revived fit had existed for a number of years previous to that time, but had become inactivel by Miss Maxield and Miss Cutright, its purf pose being to create debating ability and enthusiasm for that art in the students of P. H. S. Last year we entered the Big Twelve Contest for debaters, but this year we were forced to remain a nonfcontestant because the debaters didn't have the time, or weren't suffif ciently interested to give the amount of time necessary for the planning and working up of a successful debate. The membership increased perceptibly over that of last year, due to the untiring efforts of Robert Gamble, membership chairman, and Russell Duke, publicity chairman. The club met every first and third Monday of the month, and enjoyed interesting meet' ings, arranged by Grace Darl Siepert, chairman of the program committee. Oftentimes debates on current school problems were held. Great credit must be given to the sponsors for their enthusiasm and helpful sugf gestions. Members of the club take this opportunity to plead that students of Peoria High take a more active interest in debating in the future, for a school is judged not only by its athletic prowess but also by its intellectual achievements. lI19301l Page89 KGHE GREST M Top Row-Coons, Allan, Mannschott, Stone, Jones, Pierson, Price.

This club is open to all third year French students and those second year students who receive an average of B or above in French. The meetings, which are held the fourth Thursday of each month, are conducted entirely in French, in order to help the students to become interested in French as a living, usable language. The programs vary greatly. At some meetings the time is spent in playing games such as charades and cards, at others it is spent in taking care of business and singing songs in French. At the February meeting of the club, the whole period was devoted to a most inf teresting illustrated talk by Miss Bunch. She chose as her subject the Chateaux of Southern France. This talk was made doubly interesting by the fact that Miss Bunch, having traveled extensively in France, could give comments from her personal experiences, and did not have to rely wholly on information gained from books. In january, two plays were given by the French students, L Anglais tel qu' on le Parlef' and L'La Surprise d' Isidoref' 5195011- Page9O EHR GREST 5: 1 4 'Top RowfCrawshaw, Brown, Shook, Davis, Smallenberger, Off, Clark, Johnson, Reese.

It is composed largely of Juniors and Seniors whose grades in English are B or above. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in literature, composition, the drama, and public speaking. This year it has certainly accomplished its purpose. At some of the meet' ings original essays, stories, biographies, and poems were given by the members. A num' ber of students from the classes in public speaking brought variety to the meetings by giving readings or pantomimes. At one meeting several scenes from Shakespeare's Macbeth were coached and presented by several of the members. At another meeting a delightful musical program was enjoyed. In February, Dr. Cooke of the First Conf gregational Church delivered a worthfwhile address before the club. Several reviews of new books proved interesting. There was even an oldffashioned spelling bee. The play 'LWurzel Flummeryn was given in May. In accordance with the custom of the club, the year was closed with a picnic, which was much enjoyed by those who attended. Mrs. Belsley, our adviser, has cofoperated with us in every way, and the oilicers of the club wish to take this opportunity to thank her for her interest and assistance. lI1930ll Page91 'EHR GREST 'Top Row-Hild, A.

This year the club has enrollment of 137 members, which is the largest it has ever had. The sponsors of the club are Mrs. Wisman and Miss Bullock. Mrs. Wisman has been a sponsor since the organization of the club, and she has given much effort to bring the club to its present standing. Miss Bullock was elected this year to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Canty. The purpose of the club is to acquaint students with the requirements of the business world, and to create an interest in commercial work. It also strives to make the comf mercial students become a unit, to be interested in each other and the school, and to have their own activities. -H1 93 O11 Page92 GHE CfREs,T I Top Row-Pfeiffer, Stockwell, Tess, Shepard, Pedreyra, Ziegle, Moody, Peyer.

At another time, the dictaphone was demonstrated to all the commercial students, and its advantages explained by Mr. Bice. The dictaphone is to be placed in the Commercial Department for a month to let the students become better acquainted with its use. The billing machine was demonstrated by Mr. Longenecker. Other modern business appliances will be demonstrated this year, in order that they may not be entirely foreign to the student who enters an oflice in which they are used. In October a Hobo Party was given at the Heights Hall. Games were played, prizes given to the best 'shoboesf' and some of the talented students danced and sang. Mr. Williams sang several popular songs, which were enjoyed by all. Everyone had lots of fun eating doughnuts and allfday suckers, and drinking cider. A social meeting was held at Christmas time, and the program planned by Mardelle Mohn was very en' tertaining. A skating party is being planned for April in order to make money for a memorial to be given to the Commercial Department. Perhaps you have noticed the pictures which lend such a cheery atmosphere to the Commercial rooms. Some very good copies of famous paintings, and also an oil painting, have been given by the club in previous years to the department. The two victrolas by whose rhythm you type in your typing classes were given by the club several years ago. All in all, the club has had a very successful and progressive year. -5193011 Page 93 'EHR GREST Top Row-Kipling, Landauer, Thalberg, Flanegan, Tibbetts, Kinsey, Swanson.

Some of our jolly social activities this year included the Mixer Party, the Mock Initiation, and one never to be forgotten time, the Splash Party.

In our service work we entertained the little children of the day nursery once a week and also at a Christmas party. There were a number of inspirational meetings, such as our beautiful Formal Initiation Service. The high light of the Girl Reserve activities of the year was the lovely Christmas Vesper Service, which made lasting im' pression upon everyone who saw it.

Where permission is given, the HifY members endeavor to put on a Four C's Cam' paign, in order to spread their platform throughout the school. The Four C's which make up the HifY platform are clean sports, clean habits, clean speech, and clean thoughts. HifY meetings are divided between discussions and outside speakers, who try to help boys solve their many modern and characteristic problems. The discussions are held in a manner similar to those in which the boys discuss their social, economic, and habitual problems among themselves. The HifY Club meets every Monday evening at the Y. M.

In G. A. A. the year is divided into four seasons-volley ball, basketball, baseball, and track. In volley ball and basketball, elimination tournaments were held. A pin is given for three hundred points, a letter for six hundred, and a star on the letter for eight hundred. A large number of these awards were given. Many of the G. A. A. girls can be seen around school wearing letters. Although G. A. A., as shown by its name, is mainly an athletic club, there is also the social side. In the fall there was a weiner roast, which, much to the disappointf ment of all, was held in the gym because of the weather. A Christmas party, mock initiation, and kid party combined was held in December. The Freshmen were initiated in an exciting and mysterious, but harmless, way.

During the fourth year, the band increased its membership to fortyfeight players. It played for local engagements, and also under the direction of John Philip Sousa, who presented it with a silver loving cup. This same year it entered the Sectional Band Contest, winning considerable recognition, especially in solo events. In the year 1928f29, the band entered the contest again, this time with its member' ship increased to fiftyfthree. In this contest it won third place in Class A. In solo events, it took four first places and two seconds. One soloist won third in the National Solo Contest. The band also won 'first in the Big Twelve Contest. Since that time, the membership has steadily increased, until now it numbers sixty' three. It has played for lodges, interfcity basketball and football games, for games between ,Peoria Central and outsiders, and Manual and outsiders. It also played for the Sectional Basketball tournament, thereby earning its way to Springfield for the Band Contest. Every year, the band plays for the patriotic vesper services in honor of Washing' ton's and Lincoln's birthdays, and for several years has given concerts, the proceeds going to help buy instruments, uniforms, and other necessities for the band. Much credit for the success of the band is due to Mr. Bradley, its leader, who has trained it, untiringly, toward its present success. 11193011 Pnge98 p gg gp 'GHE Qarsr Top Row-Miss Carey, Bourland, Friess, Cobb, Taylor, Case, Miss Randall.

Qrchestra HE orchestras of Peoria High School have expanded in size during the last year, many students learning to play various instruments that had never before been inf cluded in the ensemble. This unit of outside activity is divided into three groups: namely, the Beginners, under the direction of Mr. L. Irving Bradley, the Advanced, which is directed by Miss Elizabeth Randallg and the Combined, formed from the advanced orchestras of Peoria High and Manual, this orchestra also being under the leadership of Mr. Bradley. Peoria High had the honor of being represented in the National High School Orf chestra, which played for the National Superintendents' Convention held in Atlantic City last February. This position could be obtained by only one student from a school, and Henry Neeser, senior, was chosen to have this honor. W The Combined Orchestra usually plays at various school functions and at com' munity programs. This orchestra was heard at the Vesper Services held in February at the Shrine Temple in honor of the birthdays of Washington and Lincoln. The Advanced Orchestra is the one that is heard at the plays given at school, play' ing before and after the performance and between the acts. Many students will rem' ember having heard this orchestra, then under the direction of Miss Alice O'Reilly, play at the Senior Class Play, The Hottentotf' and on other similar occasions. The orchestra is sure that under its present director, Miss Randall, it will reach even a greater degree of proficiency and artistry than it has before achieved. lI193011 Page 99 f35.1i155.S.r.,.,c. an ....

Girls, Glee Club ISS ELIZABETH RANDALL, who came to Peoria High in january to take the place of Miss Alice O'Reilly, who left to be married, has turned this first year of her presence as director of the glee clubs into one of great success, in the field of musical accomplishments. Each year the glee clubs produce, or take part in the production of, an assembly preceding the Christmas holidays. This year the beautiful i'Noel was the hymn chosen by the Combined Glee Clubs and presented in the Christmas assembly. The big event of the year was the patriotic vesper service held in February at the Shrine Temple. The Combined Glee Clubs of Manual, Kingman, and Peoria High sucf ceeded in making this a very beautiful production. Not only could it be enjoyed by those present, but also by radio listeners. It is the first time our Glee Clubs can boast of such an achievement. It was an event long to be remembered by those who heard it. In March, a musical program was given, sponsored by the Combined Glee Clubs, to raise funds for sending the three representatives, Erma Brower, jack Borland, and Arnold Wahlfeld to sing in the National High School Chorus in Chicago. All the efforts of the spring were directed toward the preparation for the Big Twelve Contest, held in Danville in May. Throughout all these varied successes, the untiring aid of Miss Alice Carey, the accompanist, has proven a muchfneeded support. -5193011 Page 100 FGHE GREST Top Rowfwhite, Love, J.

Boys, Glee Club ERE again the work of Miss Elizabeth Randall, director of the Boys' Glee Club, and that of Miss Alice Carey, accompanist, has manifested itself. By her vigor' ous enthusiasm, Miss Randall has instilled in the boys a love for chorus singing, and an answering spontaneity, that is evident in the successful manner in which they have accomplished the programs and events in which they participated. This organization met alone on Tuesday and Friday, and with the girls on Thursday for combined work. The boys took part in the same events the girls did, with one addif tion-they participated in the May Music Festival held at the Shrine Temple, at which time they presented a group of songs. From this group, two students, Arnold Wahlfeld, tenor, and jack Borland, bass, were sent, along with the alto from the Girls' Glee Club, to represent Peoria High at the National High School Chorus in Chicago in March. These boys brought great honor to themselves and to P. H. S. by their vocal ability. Altogether, the year may be regarded as a pleasant and prohtable one, not only for the Club as a whole, but also for its individual members. liosoi Page101 Quia Qassr -K Peck, Mr. Epstein, Tobias, Rainey. Movie Crew HE Movie Crew has again enjoyed a very successful year. Mr. Epstein, the faculty adviser, deserves a great deal of credit, for he has coached the operators until they are expert in their work. Bud Tobias, Chief Operator, handled the machine skillfully during the presentations. His assistants, Bill Peck and jim Rainey, were able ones. Along with the regular movie course in assemblies, the movie crew also furnished entertainment for the ParentfTeachers' Association, at the regular meetings, once a month. One feature movie, We're in the Navy Now, was presented after school. The Educational pictures shown at ParentfTeachers' meetings dealt with the subjects of Geology and Bacteriology, such as Weather Forecasting, Formation of Dew, Prevention and Cure of Diphtheria, and Deep Sea Conflicts. Our projection booth is as well equipped as those of many of the professional theatres, having a Motiograph Machine Celectricj of two thousand foot capacity, a stereoptican, several spotlights, and a mercury ore rectifier. Operators who have visited our booth are eloquent in their praise of ventilating facilities, firefproof construction, and roominess. The booth is equipped with a firefproof humidor to keep the film pliable, and to protect it in case of fire. ln recent tests by the Movie Crew, it was found that in case of an accident, the arc light would not ignite the film for twentyfthree seconds, so well is it shielded. Because of the firefproof construction of the booth, the audience is always safe. A -H 1 9 3 OH Page102 - A M l 4 EHR GREST Back Row-Mr. Gambach, Strawn, N. Turner, R. Peck. Front Row-B. Turner, Wilton, F. Bourland, Johnson, Gadau. Stage Crew TAR actors, speakers, and performers do not seem to be the only persons essential to the success of the plays and programs presented on the Peoria High School stage, for the accomplishments of the stage crew are major factors in all assemblies and dramatic productions. When a play is presented, it requires a great deal of spare time for the stage crew to prepare scenery and work about the stage. The work goes on for days and even weeks before the performance. The boys who compose the crew must have at least passing grades in their studies to qualify for their jobs and to maintain them. Two of the present crew, Fred Bourland and Max Strawn, are on the Shark List. Ralph Peck, student manager, is especially suited for his position because of his experience on a regular vaudeville circuit, and because of his genial disposition. He is a Senior and will be missed next year. The other members are: Neal Turner, Max Strawn, and Leaton Boggess, elecf triciansg Fred Bourland, Blandford Turner, and Warner Johnson, scenery operators and ropemeng Richard McKittrick and John Wilton, carpenters, Kenneth Gadau, draftsman. Mention must also be made of Leland Hunt, Carl Grimm, Raymond Kramer, Frank Hauk, and others, who, although not members of the crew, rendered valuable service in construction work. To Richard McKittrick goes the credit of building a set of flats. McKittrick also designed and executed some very striking scenery for the Wishbone Revue. J. C. Gambach and Wilbur Westhoff are the faculty advisers and have directed and aided the members of the crew, giving much time and effort to their task. 5195011 Page103 Qgna GRESTF 'Top Row-Moody, Stephens, Mrs. Wisman, Miss Boynton, Otto, Holmes, Rossetter, Hogate.

Each year new members have been taken in under very strict selection. The classes of '29 and '30 were taken in under the new method, whereby those ranking in the upper third of their class in scholarship are considered with regard to the three qualities, Service, Leadership, and Character, for which the Society stands. Each student is rated on these three points by the members of the faculty, and the names are then turned over to the faculty council for computation and ranking in compliance with the rules of the Society. Six Junior members were elected at the close of last year to carry over the Society. These were Caroline Baker, Julia Clark, Dorothy McSkimin, Evabeth Miller, Betty Otto, and Orville Stephens.

MISS JANET BUswELL USENDRA, the dramatic club of Peoria High School, is a club made up of all Juniors A and Seniors who are interested in acting, or aiding in the production of plays. This year Jusendra was different: not less active, but better, peppier, and more original than ever. Under the capable sponsorship of Miss Janet Buswell, Jusendra kept up its reputaf tion for 'Lputting everything over big, no matter how clillicult, and no matter what obstacles and ntough breaks came its way. This year the membership fee of Jusendra was reduced to twentyflive cents. It was decided that the purpose of the club should not be primarily to make money on the productions, but to present a high type of drama within the financial reach of every student. Instead of having one afternoon play each month, this year Jusendra gave only three productions-but what shows they were!

What a drummer Mr. Sammis was! We had to repeat that show in the evening for those unfortunate souls who missed the afternoon performance. Then came the evening play, The Creaking Chair, a thrilling mystery play. Virginia Aaron as Anita, Walter B. Tobias in the part of Edwin Latter, and Anne Wilf liams as Rose, portrayed the leads very well, and were supported in an exceptional manner by the rest of the cast. Mr. Epstein, in spite of all of his other activities, coached the play, and it was 'Lone grand success. Jusendra takes this opportunity of thanking Mr. Epstein for his untiring work and willing cofoperation. Whenever we think of ,Iusendra's successful yeargand we feel that it has been successfulgwe think of Miss Buswell's untiring work and invaluable assistance as sponsor, and we thank her heartily.

This has been a busy year for members of the staff, but a pleasant One, for everyone did his share of the work in an efficient and intelligent manner. Especial credit should go to Caroline Baker, editorf infchief, and to Paul Young, business manager, who carried the heaviest burden of responf sibility. Our subscription campaign this year has been particularly successful, owing to the unfailing enthusiasm and active interest of the members Of the faculty, working in their advisory groups. The goal Of 800 subscriptions was reached, and as a result, the price Of the book was reduced to 31.75. Members Of the staff take this opportunity to thank the various committees and individuals who helped so efficiently: those on the Art staff, Robert Brown, Lucile Men' denhall, Charles Palmer, and Lois Bacon, the assistants to the picture editor, Squibbs Stevens, Richard Mannschott, Charles Fell, and Harold Cupp, the committee On Features, LeRoy Smallenberger and julia Clark, members of the Dramatic staff, Gladys Hewitt, jean Coomber, and Elizabeth Jones, Advertising, Clarence Shook, john Stitley, and George johnson, Senior captions, jean States, Frances Muir, Helen Anderson, and jack Rossetter, Calendar, Louise Bryan and June McNally.

Lois Pierson is responsible for the working out Of the theme Of the book, for executing many Of the drawings, and for writing the verses explaining the symbols used in the various sketches. Lois Bacon worked Out the sketches and explanatory couplets used in the Calendar section. Auren Muir, the picture and snapfshot editor, is responsible for all the group pictures in the book, with the exception of the pictures of the various classes, and members Of the staff feel that he has done a fine piece of work.

' The constant improvement of its content, business management, and typo' graphy have won the enthusiastic interest of the student body, and the praise of outside critics. One of the last issues last year was a feature edition printed on cornfstalk paper. This project won national recognition. By that time, also, the entire debt for the paper's print shop was paid off. This was accomplished by the gift of seven hundred dollars from the alumni. The rest of the debt had been paid by the income from advertising and subscriptions. Last fall over 1000 students subscribed. The price was cut from one dollar to fifty cents. Subscriptions and football season tickets were sold together for one dollar. At the same time the advertising income was increased S100 a month. In November the paper received a distinguished rating at the convention of the Illinois State High School Press Association. In February, Quill and Scroll, international honorary society for high school journalists, awarded 'THE OPINION a silver plaque for outstanding achievementgone of the three similar annual awards given by the society. A feature color edition was published at Christmas. During the district basketball tourney, held in the school gymnasium, three extras were put out by means of special telephone connections with the press room. A special eightfpage edition was issued in February. News and feature writers were members of the newswriting and journalism classes, taught by Earl English, faculty adviser. With his direction and help, the printing classes have put out an outstanding example of what may beraccomplished in high school print shops. Election to Quill and Scroll of those showing exceptional journalistic ability took place in March. Those elected were Elizabeth Albright, Caroline Baker, Betty Bartholof mew, Lucy Frances Day, Bruce Deobler, Alice Houghton, Marie Knepp, Adene Latta, Catherine McClelland, Kenneth Mercer, Auren Muir, Margaret Off, and John Stitely. At midyear the adoption of newsprint, instead of the former glossy paper, reduced the paper bill by onefthird. The money saved thus was then used to pay for the making of cuts or special pictures taken by the staff photographer. The newsprint and feature cuts gave the paper a more attractive, newsier appearance. Accuracy, fairness, honesty, value given for money received, good printing, and attractive typography have been the objectives of the editorial, business, and printing departments, and in working toward these goals, THE OPINION staff has given the students a paper for which it has been proud to work. 41193011 Page111 QGHE GREST Gm the Trail oi News lor The Qpinion Members of the journalism class, taught by Earl English, are the reporters.

The first, L'Anglais Tel Qu' on Parlef' was an interesting story of a young English girl and a French boy who eloped. The girl's father followed them to Paris. An interpreter who did not know a word of English succeeded in getting everything umixed up. All finally ended well, though, after a great deal of excitement. This play was coached by Miss Bunch. LA SURPRISE D'ISIDORE ' Case, Coomber, Latta, Siepert, Murray. The second play, La Surprise D' Isidoref' coached by Miss Buswell, was a very exciting comedy about a boy who went to visit his old college chum, who was now a specialist in mental diseases. The visitor thought his friend's wife and motherfinflaw were insane people, at first. The doctor finally came to his rescue, and everything was explained.

It is to him we owe the fact that Central is always a factor to be reckoned with in athletics. Without Coach Herke we never could have gained the athletic prominence which we now hold. Many high schools no larger than ours have one or two fullftime assistants, while Coach Herke has had to train his men in every sport until this year. Now he is ably assisted by Coaches English and Sedgwick of the faculty. Coach English takes charge of Track, while Coach Sedgwick aids Herke in all sports, coaching Tennis. Doc not only has to take charge of his gym classes during the day, but stays many long hours after school, putting our boys through their paces. All through the long campaigns he has his boys in mind, so that he does not leave his problems when he leaves school. Coach Herke knows and understands boys as well as sports, which makes him one of the foremost coaches in Illinois. It does not seem possible that Central could exist without Herke, so here's to long life to both of them with continued success! 1193011 Page 123 KGHE GREST Second Row-Mr. Clifford, Mr. Brewer, Mr. Mowatt, Mr. Herke, Dr. Heymann First Row-Stephens, Saas, Rossetter, Schwartzbeck. Athletic Board and Athletic Managers HE Athletic Board, made up of the above mentioned, has charge of all Athletic activities here at Central. Again this year, there have been several students on the board, also two members of the Board of Education, which shows that the Board is not a purely faculty affair. The profits have been larger this year than ever before, which is due in a large part to the Board and Coach Herke. Another great factor in the success of Central's Athletics is the work of the Managers, who have served long and faithfully under the direction of Faculty Manager Bob Sedgf wick. Bill Welch, the Senior Manager, received his letter, according to custom, and leaves Ferrel Saas in charge next year. He will be assisted by Bill Rutherford and one other. WELCH SAAS RUTHERFORD MR.

These boys, with Naifziger and McKeel, starred. MAROONS RALLY TO WIN With a third quarter punch, Central came from behind to defeat Mattoon, 13f2. Mattoon had a 2fO lead at the half. Pervus and Johnson starred for Mattoon, while Central had a host of stars with Livengood, Wharry, Naffziger, and Eastman outstanding. BLOOMINGTON SMOTHERED Central journeyed to Bloomington on a Saturday morning to overpower completely a lighter eleven. Naffziger, Livengood, and Wharry rolled up six touchdowns, with Fritz counting for three of them.

Our aerial attack then refused to function, and we lost. The stars included Grannis, Hogate, the Wilsons and Naffziger. CENTRAL OUTPLAYS SPRINGFIELD At their first night scrap, Central defeated Springfield, 38fO. Not bothered by the lighted field, the Maroons, led by Wharry, Buck, Livengood, Naifziger, and McKeel as scorers, completely outplayed the Senators on their own lot. MOLINE HOLDS US TO A TIE In a very close game, Central scored first with a pass, Livengood to Buck. Moline scored later. We were outfpunted, but had 11 first downs to 6. Central threatened again but was penalized. Naffziger starred, with McKeel, Livengood, Capt. jockisch, Grannis, Dent, and J. Wilson also playing good games. 5193011 Page129 'GHE GREST T1-rom: N.

SMITH WALTON Half Back Half Back Guard End TURKEY DAY SCRAP IS OURS On a zero Thanksgiving morning before 6,000 spectators, Central defeated Manual 2f0. The sore vaccinations and the frozen ground made the game doubly hazardous. The game was won by wonderful teamwork and the brilliance of Forrest Wuz Wharry, who rose to the heights of his athletic career by executing two gamefsaving plays, making a 45fyard run on a bad center pass, and hurling the ball from the end zone on an attempted kick. Herke gave him the ball, the first time the ball has ever been given to a player. Central reached the onefinch line, but Manual held. Buck made our score by smothering a punt out of the end zone. 'Manual came close twice. Central excelled in passing, ground work, and yardage gained, losing only on punting. Although Wharry starred, Naffziger, Buck, Dent, the Wilsons, and Capt. Jockisch played great ball. This was our thirteenth victory out of eighteen games. It has been said that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, so it is that a team is no stronger than its subs. Central had an unusually fine bunch of subs this year, ready to go in at any time to help the regulars out. Four of the leading subs are pictured on this page, although they didn't receive letters. Bucy starred several times and would have received a letter except for his ineligibility in several games. Morgan, Smith, and Walton played in a number of games. 11193011- Page131 FGHE GREST if Page 132 gel Carrithers. StandingAKeHogg, Manager Saas, Dent, Coker, Harper, Geo.

Normal and University High were defeated rather handily, but the team struck a snag at Streator, where they took a 2745 loss. This was Streator's first victory over a Central cage squad in eight years. Streat d the Herkemen missed Jockisch. At the Bigf12 Holiday Tournament at Lincoln, which, by the Way, has been dis' continued, Central suffered her first loss to Manual, 30 to 28. After another heartfbreaking loss to Streator, 15 to 13, Central, playing the best ball of the season, hit her stride and won eleven straight games. Included in this winning streak were hardfearned victories over Spalding, Manual, Champaign, Springfield, Moline, and Bloomington, all high powered aggregations who went far this season. After being behind in the first half, Central broke ahead to win the Spalding game, 32f22. Gus Livengood and jockisch played the stellar roles. Central's 32 to 25 victory over Manual, which is the only one held over Manual's State Championship Team, was due to a last quarter spurt and Tamplin's Wonderful shooting. Capt. Buck and Klingel also performed -11193011 Page 134 f-SHE GREST RICHARD 'LDIcK JOCKISCH EUGENE 'iGus LIVENGOOD Guard Center nicely until they were forced out on fouls. In the Champaign victory, the Herkemen played well, with Tamplin again setting the pace with seven baskets. Central defeated Springfield at the Capitol City, with Wuz Wharry leading with ten points. Still continuing the winning streak with other victories, Central took a hardfearned victory from Bloomington, runnersfup to Manual at the State meet. The Herkemen met their Waterloo in the shape of Canton, who came to Peoria and carried away a 19 to 18 verdict over Central. Playing Canton again the following week, the team, led by Capt. Buck, gained a glorious victory over Canton in their new gym. Central staged a wonderful basket shooting exhibition in the first quarter to pile up a lead which they held to the end of the game at 23 to 18. Spalding was again defeated 29 to 25, but only after two overtimes and a hard fight, giving us the City Championship. Leading the Bigf12 with seven victories and no defeats, the Maroons struck a dis' astrous slump and lost to Springfield and Mark Peterman, 17 to 15. Then, trying in vain to come back, Central lost a 30 to 22 encounter to Manual. Even then the Maroons still had a chance to come out with a piece of the Bigf12 Championship, but lost to Champ' aign, 20 to 13. The game was played in Champaign's crackerfbox gym, which, in addif tion to a large crowd present and a near riot, handicapped the players. Entering the District Tournament on even terms with Manual, the first three op' ponents, Chillicothe, East Peoria, and Washburn, were set back easily, but the championf ship game was won by the great Manual team, 23 to 16, only after a heartfrending en' counter. Led by Capt. Buck and Jockisch, Central tried hard but couldn't quite make it. This is the Erst time in six years that we have lost the District. It also is, by the way, H1930lj- - Page135 GHE CREST In Action: Klingel, Wharry, Livengood, jockisch, and Buck. the fourth year in a row that Central has lost to the ultimate State Champions: Mount Carmel, Canton, Johnson City, and Manual. In regard to their individual abilities, much might be said of all of the boys. Capt. Charles Buck made an excellent leader because he, being a tireless player himself, was able to keep the boys going at all times. He also started many a rally by his excellent playing, and, if the other team was getting through, no one was quicker than Charley to see how to prevent it. Roy Tamplin came out and Won a first string position in his Junior year. Tamplin was the high point man in many games, due to accurate eye, and is the only regular left next year. Gus Livengood, having subbed for a couple of years, came out to get his letter and did it. In several games he played the stellar role. Too much can't be said about our wonderful guards, Wharry and Jockisch, Who, besides keeping the defense practically airftight, made: many points. Jockisch was the high point man in innumerable games. jockisch and Buck placed on the AllfCity Team, and also won Bigf12 honors. Central had a nice bunch of subs this year, ready to go in at any time to give the regulars a rest or to speed up the game. Although none of them gained their letters, Eastman and Klingel had quite a few quarters. Eastman, a small but speedy player, often speeded up the offense. Harper, the Freshman, Coker, and Klingel were other nice going Forwards. Geo. Livengood was a dependable guard. Central had another good team and season, winning 21 games and losing only 8. The team would have gone further had they not hit the slump which deprived them of much glory. Since they Won the City Championship and tied for Second in the Bigf12, Central can feel proud of them. 4195011 Page 136 FGHE GREST Lemm, Huber, Spurlock CPD, Coach English, Deobler CPD, Collins CPD, Poehls. 1929 Cross Country Team ENTRAIQS Cross Country Team, under the leadership of Coach English, had a good season, considering the fact that only two veterans finished the season. The team lost Heintz, Luthy, and Loomis, for various reasons. The harriers opened the season with a victory from Mattoon, 17f19. Luthy and Deobler finished second and third, respectively. Central next dropped a close decision, 2046, to Springfield, due to the ineligibility of several Maroon runners. The race was run at the Moline game here. The Maroons traveled to Pekin for their next meet, and dropped it to the tune of 2642. Collins and Deobler came in fourth and Efth. Central wound up the season on Thanksgiving morning and had the misfortune to lose, 22114. Spurlock and Collins of Central placed third and fourth. Deobler was off color due to his vaccination. All the boys were more or less bothered by their vac' cinations and the hitter cold, which made the running very unpleasant. Capt. Deobler, Collins, and Spurlock were awarded letters for their work during the long season. Numerals were given to several other fellows. The Cross Country team has a long, hard grind. They run their two miles almost every night to keep in training and often receive little recognition for it. 11195011 Page 137 IGHE REST 5 Page 138 1930 rf -2 on CI ll-I J: O QU O U Lf .2 -O O ev Cl .rf Q '52 .-2 Q o 1 ci o .Ln U Z of .ae L-4 Q I -CI O KU o U Cf fd on L4 in H, .9 VN rd I-' .rf .2 as 3 o D5 E 3 H5 Snug:-' S O F ,4 O-4 V 'KS ,ca .2 I-4 E-' A 0-4 V v.

FGHE GREST COACH EARL ENGLISH 1929 Track Team ENTRAL'S success in track in 1929 was due largely to Coach Earl English, who coached the Maroon team last year. A former trackman at Western State College at Kalamazoo, Michigan, he is well qualihed to coach Track. Coach English, who teaches printing and allied subjects, has a very thorough knowledge of all branches of track, and likes to work with the fellows. We want to congratulate him on his success in Track at Central and hope to have him here for many years of continued victories. Central opened its 1929 season with a trip to the Illinois Relay Carnival at Cham' paign. The mile relay team, composed of Triebel, Kipp, Luthy, and Heintz, placed first in their heat and fifth in the finals, which was a good showing. Next came Central's Third Annual Dual Meet with Pekin at Central. The Maroons won 7665. George Soper was the bigfshot, taking first in the 220, 440, and 880. He netted 16y2 points, while Ned Potter, with first in the pole vault and high hurdles, came next with IOVZ points. Barnes and Naffziger took 9M each. Central's winning ability was in the running events, falling down in the field. 5195011 Page 139 TEHE GREST Cn the following Friday, the Englishmen went to the Ninth Annual Iviillikin Relay Carnival at Decatur. The TwofMile Relay Team, composed of Off, Deobler, Nelson, and Luthy, won fourth place. All other Central men failed to place. On April 27th, at the 24th Annual Bradley Interscholastic Meet, composed of 1100 entrants, Central took second with 17 points. Atwood won with 19 points. Soper and Heintz each won a first in the 44Ofyd. dash, while Luthy and Naffziger took seconds in the mile and the 50fyd. dash. The mile relay team also took first. At the Fifth Annual Bigf12 Meet, held at Bradley on May 4th, Central came in fifth, with 16M points. Urbana won for the fourth consecutive time. Triebel won the broad jump and placed third in the 220fyd. low hurdles. Nafziger tied for third in the 50fyd. dash, and Potter took a fourth in the 12Ofyd. high hurdles, and a second in the pole vault. The relay team came in second, losing to Springfield by a small margin. The Englishmen next journeyed to Lincoln for the District Meet. Here the Maroons Bnished third, close to Manual and the victorious Lincoln tribe. They gained 23M points, ending up only four points behind the victors. Chuck Barnes rated a third in the 50fyd. dash, Naffziger took fourth in the 50 and 100fyd. dashes, and Triebel finished third in the broad jump. Triebel was off form, for the winner only made slightly over 20 feet, while Triebel had jumped well over 20 feet in previous meets. Capt. Heintz finished second in the 220fyd. dash, and Soper, runninga wonderful race, scored Central's only first place in the 440'yard dash. The Maroon relay team tied for first. As a result of placing in the District Meet, Soper and Heintz were privileged to run their respective distances in the State Finals at Champaign. The relay team, composed of Barnes, Soper, Walton, and Heintz was also entitled to run. The Maroons failed to place at Champaign, due to the very keen competition, but they all ran good races. As it had rained for several days before the meet, the track was unusually heavy and slippery. Metcalf of Tilden Tech, Chicago, set a new Na' tional Interscholastic record in the 220fyd. dash of 21.3 seconds. Merrick, of Peoria Kingman, won the mile in 4:37, and would have set a new record if he had been pressed at all. The Englishmen ended their 1929 season at the Greater Peoria Meet, 19th Annual, on May 29th. For the first time in eleven years, Central failed to cop the bacon. Man' ual and Kingman, led by the peerless Merrick, came in ahead to give us third place. Central's score of 38 points, however, was only 8 behind Manual's. Nalfziger took second place in the 50 and 100fyd. dashes. Capt. George Heintz took second in the 440fyd. dash, and third in the 220fyd. dash. Fred Luthy won the mile, while Heiny Triebel took both the 220fyd. low hurdles and the broad jump. Taylor tied for first in the pole vault. 'Morgan, Potter, and Jockisch annexed thirds in the high jump, 120fyd. high hurdles, and the shot put, respectively. The relay team, composed of Triebel, Barnes, Soper, and Heintz, won to collect a nice trophy. Although a number of the stars are graduated, we have even higher hopes for 1930. -11193011 Page 140 TBHB GREST 1929 Inter-Class Track Meets INDOOR MEET The 13th Annual Indoor InterfClass Meet was won by the juniors, who ended up just one point ahead of the Seniors. The third year men piled up 39 points, while the Seniors could scrape together only 38. The Sophomores took 19Vg points, while the wee Freshmen made Hy! points, a good showing against upperfclass competition. Potter and Hill, Sophomore pole vaulters, tied for first place in the pole vault at 9 feet, 10yZ inches. This was the only new record set in the meet, besting the old record by SVZ inches. This certainly speaks well for our Sophomores. Henry Triebel, a promising Senior from the varsity squad, took high point honors with 17M points. Capt. George Heintz, '30, was a close second with 13M points. Hill, '31, came next with nine points. closely followed by Yocum, '30, and Potter, '31, with SM and 8 points. Naffziger, also a Junior, scored 6M points. The meet was in doubt as to the winner until the relay, which, although won by the Seniors, gave the secondfplace Juniors just enough points to win the meet. OUTDOOR MEET For the Hrst time in the history of the Annual Outdoor lnterfClass Meet, the Seniors lost, yielding the honor to the juniors, Class of '30. The Juniors piled up the mam' moth count of 82 points, while the Seniors had to be content with but 24 points. Next in line came the lowly Freshmen, who gathered 14 points to force the Sophomores to take the cellar position with 5 points. Captain George Heintz was the star of the meet, grabbing off hrsts in the 100, 220, 440, and a second in the 50fyd. dash, to amass 19M points ,almost defeating the Seniors singlefhanded. Fred Naffziger, '30, finished second with 18yZ points, followed by Kipp, '29, with 13M markers. Next came Chas. Barnes, the Freshman jumper and dash man- defluxe, with 13 points. Barnes gained every one of the Freshman points except one. jockisch and Luthy, Juniors, had 9 and 8 points, respectively. Heintz, Naifziger, and Barnes took everything in the dashes, while Luthy, '30, stood out in both of the middle distances. Barnes took both the high and broad jump, and the Juniors won the relay, with Naffziger, Yocum, Morgan, and Heintz running. The Junior Class proved itself to be superior to all others in Track in 1929. This is the first time that both meets have been won by any other class than the Seniors at the same time. The men of '30 should easily repeat this year, 1930.

The three pitchers, Page, Peck, and Simmons, fared little better. Page drove Doubet in for our only run. Central next put Streator away, 3f2, with Page pitching a nice game. Soper made a triple at a very opportune moment to win the game. The Maroons dropped a game to Manual, 6f5. Page pitched a nice game, but was handicapped by ten errors. Seeger and McKeel were the other outstanding players. Spalding defeated us later in the week, 13f9, due to Central's ineffective pitching. . Central now jumped into their stride, winning four games in a row. Their first victim was Champaign, which fell rather easily, 9fO. The Herkemen traveled to Spring' field to defeat them, 4f1. Simmons, a Freshman portfsider, backed by the good per' formance of Lyons, Presley, White, and Seeger, pitched a good game. The Maroons then triumphed over Spalding, 11f2, with Page pitching airftight ball, In the final game, Central defeated Manual, 6f2. The Herkemen, led by Jones, McKeel and Seeger, supported Page well. It was the last high school game for the following Seniors: Capt. Page, Jones, Presley, Soper, Lyons, and Mosburg. Coach Herke deserves great credit for developing this team, which, although it had a bad start, ended the season very creditably. -lI193Oll Page 143 :EHR GREST Page 144 11193011 LE .ae L4 G3 D-4 .-C U CB o U '6 -2 Z of .sa Ll OJ 'II .c: 0 Ki o U f-1 Q, J 3-4 .2 U 5 B: R1 E .E .2 ID J -2 3 no 'o as rn -C U N1 O if 3 o DC 'U S2 Q U ma VJ bel CPD, Waggoner CPD.

With Captain Ed. Davis as their leader, they won all their dual meets: one against Pekin, one against Spaldf ing, and two against Manual. Peoria Central cleaned up all competition in the Bigf12 Meet, winning both places in singles and doubles. Captain Ed. Davis, probably the greatest racketeer ever produced at Central, won the singles, and, with his partner, Taylor, won the doubles. Taylor was runnerfup in the singles, while Black and Clark were runnersfup in the doubles. Davis and Taylor went to the State Meet and were well along toward the finals in the doubles, when the meet was rained out. Davis appeared almost a sure bet to cop the singles crown. Lettermen were: Davis, Taylor, Black, and Clark. Schaffer and Blair were also on the squad. . Black and Blair were the only ones not lost by graduation. 1929 Golf Team THE gratest loss that the Golf Team suffered this year was the death of Coach Park' hill, who was killed in an airplane accident last summer. Although Mr. Parkhill coached the Golf Team only one season, his services were very beneficial. Central had a bangfup golf season, with winning the Bigf12 Tourney as its high spot. Hall tied with Schaefer of Manual but lost in the playfoff for the individual honors. The team won half of its dual meets: defeating Urbana twice, and Spalding once, and losing to Champaign once, and Manual twice. Hall, Correll, Triebel and Gearheard went to the State Meet, and Hall qualified As the matches were all played in a drizzling rain, he was forced out in later rounds. Members on the squad, according to rank, are: Hall, Correll, Triebel, Gearheard, Waggoner, Slane, Hill, and Capt. Roby. Others on the squad were Powers, Quinn, Hamilton, and Zinn. Hall, Correll, Gearheard, Waggoiier, Slane, and Roby won their letters. lll930H Page145 T51-IE GREST Page 146 5195011 a M z gi 5 :1: .C U S U Q U9 cu E QC uf cd rd ED x-4 ell. wis P 'j not in picturej.

HE 1930 Swimming Team enjoyed unusual success this year, winning two meets from Champaign, and dropping two to Danville, the Bigf12 Champions this year for the seventh time. The Maroons placed second to Danville in the Bigf12 Meet. The Maroons are handicapped by the fact that there is no pool at the school, as at several Bigf12 schools. Capt. Frank Hewitt has been the star performer of the team and was awarded a letter with four stars on it, signifying his fourth year of varsity competition. Hewitt established two new Bigf12 records at the Bigf12 Meet in the 4Ofyd. and lOOfyd. dashes. He had broken them in dual meets several times before. Hewitt also brought great honor to Central by placing in the 22Ofyd. and 44Ofyd. dashes at the International Y. M. C. A. Conference at Wilmington, Delaware. In a few years, we will probably find Hewitt among the great Olympic stars. Central was victorious in its first encounter with Champaign and also in the second encounter. Central cleaned up big at that meet, winning handily, 41f18. The Maroons won both relays, and Ames and Hewitt picked up firsts in the breast stroke and 100fyd. free style. Zimmerman and Calvin took seconds in their events. Central dropped its first dual encounter with Danville by a count of 4744. Hewitt won the 100fyd. dash, while Cooper and Ames picked up seconds, and Lewis and Zim' merman won third place in their events. In the Danville pool, Central again lost, 4446. Hewitt won first in the 100fyd. free style, and Ames and Lewis took seconds. Zim' merman, Galvin, and Newell took two thirds and a fourth in their events. At the District Meet in Peoria, the teams Hnished in this order: Danville 41, Central 31, Champaign 10, and Urbana 7. Central was better this year. Besides Hewitt's two Hrsts, Ames and Zimmerman took seconds, and Lewis, Cooper, and Fearis took fourths. The relay teams took second in both races.

The teams from each class are composed of the best players in the class, except the Varsity Letter men. The class games help to give the fellows a chance to show their skill and aid Coach Herke in finding new Varsity timber. The Seniors were aided by Jockisch, their trainer, coach, and sponsor. The League this year was a sixfgame series, instead of the customary fourfgame League, giving the teams more chance to develop. The games were also better attended than ever before, the competition was very keen, and the scores were very close. Out' standing, players included Spangler, Klingel, Hewitt, and Dent for the Seniors, Capt. Eastman, Coker, Peer, and White for the Juniors, Capt. Lyons, Sayles, and Sheahan for the Sophomoresg and Kellogg, Schimel, and Capt. Harper for the Freshmen. -qioson Page 148 FGHE GREST MCCORMICKS GROUP Mr. McCormick, N. Wilson, Lenz, Citron, Hercules.

Advisory Group Basketball HE Advisory Group League this year, instead of being composed of Light and Heavy Leagues as before, was composed of one league of Juniors and Seniors, and another of Freshmen and Sophomores. The League created more interest this year than before, with the result that there were less forfeited games. The juniorfSenior Tournament was won by McCormick's, a darkfhorse team, who triumphed over Stevvart's in the Finals, 7f5, and over Clausen's and Epstein's earlier. Stevvart's had put Ottenheimer's and English's out of the way beforehand. Shepherds won the FreshmenfSophomore Tournament by defeating Williams' in the Finals, 2142, and Bockvvitis and So1nmer's previously. These teams keep the Shields for a year.

The only horses I had ever seen were the carefully tended carriage horses, the sleek, slenderly built riding horses, and the powerful horses belonging to the city fire department. L'One summer Mother took me to the country. My aunt suggested that we drive over to see my uncle, who was working on an adjoining farm. I shall never forget my surprise when I Saw what were hitched to the buggygtwo immense, broadfbacked farm horses. Mother still delights in telling how I piped up, in a shrill voice, 'Oh, Mother, look! There are two whole, big, fat horsesf Evidently, I thought the horses I was used to seeing were not hall there'.

L'Last winter I became the proud possessor of a nice new black derby hat, and, by so doing, I also became the target of many jibes and threats from my roomfmate, Mr. Canty. One night, in order that a truce might be called and the question settled forever, I agreed to place the derby at the far corner of our room, on the pillows of the bed, while he, with his hair brush in hand, was to stand in the opposite corner of the room and at' tempt to demolish the originator of our differences by a wellfdirected shot. I closed my eyes in order not to witness the tragedy. The shot was too well directed, and the instant that I heard the brush strike the hat, I knew that my derby was departed forever.

FAHNESTOCK During vacation, two of our Latin teachers toured Glacier National Park. When in the West, do as the Westerners do, was their slogan, hence horseback riding was es' sential. To ride horseback in comfort is not for a novice, so they took riding lessons to prepare themselves for strenuous trips on horseback. - The lessons were not without effect, for the schoolfma'ams rode easily, via horse' back, on the many charming excursions to be taken in the Park. One day's trip was up Swift Current Pass, a tortuous mountain trail, apparently no wider than twelve inches, which clings close to overhanging cliffs on the one side, and at spots juts out over a sheer drop of over 2000 feet. The day was delightful, the panorama gorgeous, the horses sureffooted, and the riders comfortable and happyfuntil they chanced to glance down too abruptly over one of these sheer drops. For a moment, panicky thoughts assailed. For reassurance, Miss G. C. C. controlled the quiver in her voice to ask of the guide, 'LDO people fall often here? 'just once, madamf' came the quiet reply.
