Swing low . . . all you stu- dents of Peoria High School, Swing! In the following pages you swing devotees may sweep over the medley of events of the past school year. We have swung along together with an ever-upward stroke - rhythm free but not too easygoing. Such has been our aim toward harmony, necessary for the creation of a more perfect melody of school life. So . . . Swing! O V16 fwirwgg Cllongf .1 Z W Lieif-Q1 max DEDICATION ATTENTION, all, to the lilting strain of the MUSIC of our school! See our Band swing down the Avenue! Every heart beats high with pride in them as they parade to the beat of drums! They are themselves the personification of school spirit-they produce school spirit, they create loyalty by their vigorous and rhythmic interpretations of school songs. Our Orchestra swings off its tunes in great style. The members are ever active and faithful in assuring, by their accom- paniments, the success of every high school production, none of which would be complete without them. Next we hail the small ensembles, the Double Quartette and the Madrigal Singers have been the most active during the past year. Though often unheralded, they have added to many an occasion colorful melodies and swinging songs of sweetest harmony. What an operetta was Pirates of Pen- zance ! Pirates, policemen, maidens in distress, in situations pathetic, tender, tragic, and rollicking-all these contributed to the zest and swing of Peoria High's most successful performance, the highlight of our winter season. Our Music- masters, Miss Katherine Jackson, Miss Alice Carey, and Mr. Bradley, have made Peoria High School outstanding in musical accomplishments. So industriously have they worked that now we are rated in the foremost ranks of high school music. lg., P if Wm Through the Fence A Bird's-eye View Principal's Message Life lies before us. Have we been developing a rhythmic personality that at- tunes itself to the pulsating life about us? Can we develop the tempo that makes us fit into the progress of human society? We must develop the traits of character and person- ality that keep us in tune with the harmonizing influences which make society a blessing to all. A sympathetic understanding, tolerance, an altruistic atti- tude, the courage to stand for a worthy cause-even if we stand alone-faith in other people and love for that which is good will put one into the swing of human progress that moves onward and upward toward better things. Let us endeavor to prepare ourselves to lit into a vibrating, joy- ful and beautiful world which was destined from the beginning. Life becomes more interesting when we understand the rules that make happiness and success. Life becomes more beautiful under the influence of clear thinking and noble acting. D 1 J. H. BREWER Principal Above MISS ELEANOR WATSON E- C- FISHER Dean of Gi,-15 Superintendent ,114 J L. ROSS JOHNSON Dean of Boys OUR teachers make of the varied voices in school a unif1ed chorus. From the classics of the past they draw notes which may sound in the harmonies of the future. They encourage each of us in our individual original phrasing of the swing symphony of our lives by our own improvisation. Without these maestroes to keep us swinging together we would not have this perfectly pitched and progressive orchestra. f I .

IN MEMORIAM DEARLY loved and respected by students and teachers alike, Mr. Sanford Murphy will be keenly missed by Peoria High School. Espe- cially does the Crest owe to him everlasting gratitude because a great deal of the success of our annual for the past eight years belongs to him. Even with this volume, he helped us almost to the end, when his sudden passing called him from his many unselfish and bene- licial duties. F ondest memories of him will ever remain in the hearts of all who knew him. ,181 MR. SANFORD MURPHY r Ax SWING in harmony, classes! Do not individ- ually sound your own note, but together roll forth one melody of a major key. The daily routines are tapped out by a steady, soft, staccato, while the events are beat out, fren- zied, crazy, and unbridled! Balance more evenly our four sections: the timid piping of the F reshmeng the steady moderate note of the Sophomoresg the confident forte of the Juniors, and the important blast of Seniors. May your motto ever be: We Swing in harmonyln f I we fwing in lad,-moby jf 5' Some of the Things the Seniors Do Dick Richards He always Our works School for Prexy Swinging at V-he Senim' HOP Selling Senior Class Play Tickets ON THAT gala January evening, swaying to the tunes of Chuck Cartwrightls Orchestra, the Seniors and their dates transformed our high school gymnasium into a beautifully decorated ballroom. Immediately following intermission, balloons iioated into outstretched hands from above. Sparkling with animation, the dancers blew horns, whirled noisemakers, and threw streamers and confetti- swirls, laughter, fun-at the peak of the excitement the clock struck twelve and the Hop was over. 1:22a Charles Gamble, Sec.g Stanley Schwartz, V. Pres., Jack Morrison, Treas.g Bob Vance, Pres. Senior Class A SIGH of joy, a sigh of sorrow. To some of us graduating means the end of four years of friendships and happiness, to a few of us it means the end of four years of study and work, but to all of us it means leaving good old Peoria High School where a bit of affection must always linger in all our hearts. We have been swinging along together for four years now. We have hit off many a good time together. We have tried to work in harmony with each other and with our school. We have followed the baton of the past, but we have also struck out boldly for ourselves and created our own new melodies. Always forward is the stride of the Class of '37. We swing into the new and the unknown, but with confidence in the Spirit of Youth. We've tooted our own horn with success we think. In music, the small ensembles are composed of seniors, the best voices in school. Among the band soloists, two are seniors. In dramatics, seniors carried many of the roles in the Jusendra production. Our own class play this year was greeted with loud applause. Joe Morgan, Jeanne McCalip, Dorothy Easton, Betsy Hunter and Jeanne Swann brought honor to our class by being elected to Dramatic Honor Society. Also in the Jusendra Play, I'll Leave It To You , Charles Gamble, received the same honor. Our speech team has so far this year brought great honor to us. Jeanne Swann and Don Wollett were the greatest of all our Senior Stars. Jeanne cap- tured many lirsts in the District and Don captured the very great honor of taking first in the State Division of the National Forensic League. Now we are swinging together for our final effort. We are individual swing- ers now and our paths will be straight or crooked as we may choose. In our white hite trousers and dark coats we will swing down the athletic field for the last time on Commencement Day. The Hall of Fame is waiting with dresses and w open arms to receive many of us. 2 4: CREST 37 Ackerman, Leona Allenbach, Emogene Anderson, Jerry Anderson, Martha ACKERMAN, LEONA N.

The commencement of that class was held on January 19, 1937, in the High School Auditorium. Harold gave the address of the evening. The commencement of the June class will be June 11, 1937, on the athletic field of Peoria High School. The commencement exercise, al- ways an impressive ceremony, this year promises to be even better than ever before. JUNIOR CLASS uLET'S all swing to the strains of Chuck Cartwrightls Orchestra, was the phrase used by many Juniors a week or so before one of the biggest events of the school year-The Junior Prom. Through the Work and ability of the Class officers and the Class sponsors, Miss Susie Jones and Mr. Joseph Myers, and through the able assistance of the entire Junior Class the best Prom of all time was made possible, indeed, everyone did swing to the strains of the lovely music. Harriet Vance was our attractive Prom Queen, leading the Grand March with Paul Jordan, our President. Not the least of the many accomplishments of the members of the Junior Class is that of live boys, who are not only outstanding in our class, but in the entire school: Bob Groetzinger, Harold Johnson, Walt Spaninger, Jess Steid- inger, and Ollie Williams. All our class members seem to be gifted with one of the arts: Music, Wiley Brackett and his drum, and Jean Clatfelter in one of the leads in Pirates of Penzance, painting, the Junior Art Classes in general, dramatics, Betty Boyd, Lois Morris, Dorothy Janseen, and Dorothy Scott in the Jusendra play, I'll Leave It To You, writing, Bettye Goldstein, Mark Batchelder, Ann Streh- low and others that are on the Opinion staff. Next year these people and others will help to keep P. H. S. shining above all other central Illinois High schools. John Whisenand, V.

Sophomore Class WE SOPHOMORES are one of the most active classes in the school. We are the biggest class and therefore a necessary element in all school activities. We are represented in Charvice by Jackie Swann and Vicki Michel, and in Promerito by John Wemple, Leslie Scott, Charles Hogan and Lionel Norris. The Junior National Honor Society is composed of Sophomores. In Student Council our class takes part in student government with Leslie Scott, Willard Frye and Lucille Cosby in the ranks. Many of our muscular boys have taken part in the school athletics, with Dick Wunsch shining in football and the Freshmen boys in the basketball reserves. Our class is sure to be one of the most outstanding classes Peoria High has ever known, and we are confident that our members will continue their good work. Many of our girls were in the operetta, '4Hansel and Gretel. The part of Gretel was taken by Hope Anderson, and the Dewman was played by Margaret Irvine. Dorothea Maurer played the part of the wicked old witch. Hope and Dorothea were taken into Dramatic Honor because of their clever acting. Some of our members were also in Pirates of Penzance, the evening operetta of the music department. With our interest at heart we feel certain that our class sponsors, Miss Emma Boynton and Mr. V. C. Shepherd, will help us to reach our goal-to keep on striving to do good for the school and in so doing to gain good for ourselves. 1.614 T op Row Bra Cowperthwaite Conard Carter Y C dshaw a r v e r Brunnenmeyer Cecil Carter M Third Row Bul B r e W e r Clanagan Burke Brown Con Cantwell ach DOI' Second Row Case Bush Bruce Cool Brem Co letta Curry L Brus First Row Collyer Cler Cloyd Cravens Brand Caswell Curry, Caldwell Top Row-Essex Deverd Deck er, Dixon Ericsson baugh, Driver.

This can well hold true in the life of Peoria Central Freshmen, Mighty seniors from timid freshmen growf' Freshmen, keep this in mind: many of us have already proven ourselves capable in athletics, school government, and in other extra-curricular activities. Through the kindness and honest fun making of the upper classmen, we soon felt at home in the big building with so many corners and so many doors. Nothing quite bewildered us so much as the difference between the two 'fgianf' Study Halls. When all these wonders began to clear in our minds, we had time to give to the many outside interests that our school offers. Many of our Freshman girls Cwho are more musically inclinedj took part in HHansel and Gretelf' an operetta given at four different schools for the benefit of grade school children. Some of our class members were also in HPirates of Penzancefl or served on committees to help make this operetta one of the biggest night productions the Peoria High Music Department has ever known. The reserve teams of our school had many of our boys who will certainly bring success to our school in the next few years. You see, we have already started Hon the royal road to glory and we know that with the continued guidance and loyalty of our class sponsors, Miss Garma Kinhofer and Mr. Wilber Westhoff, we will gain the goal at the end of the road, and next year when we are sophisticated Sophomores, we will join the fun of the upper classmen as they enjoy the wide-eyed Freshmen.

So many offer their songs of inducement that they over- whelm us by their vast enchantment until we close our ears to the strains of all but a few. We each choose the activities we wish and then we swing into action and, after learning the functions of these particular horns, join in the tooting to whip up the interest of others in our own kind of horn and its music. 0 f X ok our o O N36 -yo Wh ACM!

There are eighteen members who are elected by the student body early in the first semester. In March comes the great show of the presidential election, with its mammoth posters in the study halls and its speeches in assemblies. Once a week the members meet with Sidney Williams, their faculty adviser, to discuss the current problems or complaints. Beside these general sessions, there are special committees and intra-city council meetings at which representatives of Peoria High School confer with representatives from Manual High School and Kingman High School. Because of its duties as the law-making department and as an arm of the executive department of the school government, the Council is concerned with the improvement of conditions. For the past two years, the council has been accumulating a fund for a movie projector for the school, and has conducted several projects for it this year. They reopened the book exchange with the permission of the School Board, and again sold student directories. Combining profit with pleasure, they sponsored the very popular social hours and presented paid speakers in special assemblies. Everyone enjoyed the visits of Arthur Kane, world traveler, the potter and his wheel, The Grand Concert of Paintingsf' Sam Rizk, interpreter of American life, and Miss Betty Robinson, Olympic star. Another council activity of this year was the courtesy campaign, featured for better behavior and higher ideals. Altogether, the Student Council has had a very full and profitable year. ,721 TOGETHER They Watch Us I-L ,llvnf PREFECT CAPTAINS SeatedfSummer, Morrison, McLaren, Barclay, Roehm, Williams advisory Lyons, Hanna, Murphy, Welk, Losch.

The prefect must be honest and capable, for he is responsible for conduct in the halls. His duties are exacting. To keep students from walking through the halls without passes, to regulate stairway traffic, to conduct visitors around the buildings, to collect attendance slips each hour from every class in order that absence lists may be compiled by the office force-these are the con- stant duties of every prefect. Students on guard during the lunch periods must prevent eating in the corridors and must keep everyone downstairs. Other duties performed by prefects are to carry notices for the office or librarian or the deans, to collect tickets at social hours and special assembliesg to enforce the school constitution and any other rules of conduct authorized by the Principal or passed by Student Council as necessary for the welfare of the student body. Approximately seventy students have positions in this guard, which is under the sponsorship of Sidney Williams. The chief magistrate, Earl Kent, is assisted by a praetorian, and each hour has its chief prefect who is seated behind the stone desk in the front hall. The chief officers meet with Mr. Williams once a semester. There are about seven students on guard every school periodg they can be known by their attractive badges, which are new this year. This group is closely related to the student council and cooperates with it for the betterment of school conduct. The two bodies are well organized under one faculty adviser and are necessary to each other. They swing together! vi 73a Mr. English, Summers, Whitfakef dum. Not in Picture-Orr.

This yearis greatest addition to the equipment is the dark room, which is used for developing Opinion photographs. Also, there have been added a proof press, given by the Peoria Engraving Company, and some new type cases. Meeting each day with Miss Dorothy Crowder, the journalism classes gather much of the news which is published in the O i ' p nzon. Miss Crowder now teaches the whole course in journalism, she taught only the first semester last year. THEY KEEP US POSTED 2,7444 Andrews, Zipprich, Immel, Pur- THEY GATHER TEE NEWS Nine members of the Opinion staff had the privilege of going to the National Scholastic Press Association conference in Detroit last December. To raise the money for the trip, the .staff presented Charles Vance and his popular magic show. Those who attended the convention were: Jim Rindfuss, Don Wollett, Art Sgzold, Jeanne Swann, Jackie Swann, Cherie Lidle, Dorothy Janssen, Batch Conolly, Jack Martin, and Mr. English. At this convention they learned many interesting and helpful points, and several of Peoria High School's dele- gates led some of the roundtable discussions. At the same time, Mr. Eng- lish was presented a medal for being the adviser of a Pace- maker paper. The lights in the Opinion building burn late into the night on Thursdays, for the paper is to be issued the next day. Every Opinion reader in the school owes the excellence of his paper to the skill and patience of those who spend so much of their time to make the name of Peoria High School known and re- spected.

To blend one's voice with the voices of others so that the whole section tion sounds like one voice is the aim of the a cappella singer. Because a cap- pella means music as sung in chapels. as in the old way-without accompani- ment. much care must be given to each measure to produce the proper eFfect. VVith no accompaniment. the task of keeping to the right key is very hard. Under the direction of Miss Katherine Jackson. the A Cappella Choir of Peoria High School has made itself known for its outstanding work. When the Big Twelve musical meet was still a contest. our choir won first place: this year was the second consecutive year in which the choirs sang in the big Spring Festival. instead of competing in a contest. Peoria High School was the host to the Big Twelve music groups. and was well represented by sixty members of the chorus. who were selected from their regular third-hour chorus for their ability and cooperation. At all programs the girls wore black dresses trimmed in white and the boys wore dark suits with white shirts. This year they have sung at a patriotic vesper service at Westmiiister Church. at one of the Lenten services. at the Easter sunrise service. at the Illinois Division of the State Teachers' Association. and at the Spring Festival. Before several of these programs the picked choir practiced with Miss Jackson after school. thus giving their time to make their school better knoxwi. When the flood damage was at its worst. the A Cappella Choir broadcast over WMBD to help raise money for the Red Cross work in Hood districts. Most of the songs sung by this choir are religious. but they vary from Latin chants sung by the early Christian to the informal hallelujahs of modern Negro spirituals. Each song has its own personality and significance. so the singers must change their moods to the melodies they sing. In this skillful art the selected A Cappella Choir of Peoria High excels. and every student of the school owes thanks to those singers and the director. Miss jackson. who have helped to bring glory to our school. F761 THEY ARE THE MUSIC-MAKERS GLEE CLUBS ALSO well known at Peoria High School are the girls' and boys' glee clubs. These organizations are open to underclassmen. and are included in the curri- culum. Like the A Cappella Choir. they sing outside of class many times dur- ing the year. One of these special occasions was the radio program given for flood relief, in which the 'boys and girls of the glee clubs sang to help the Red Cross. Especially active this year has been the Girls' Glee Club. They sang at several vesper services and at a meeting of the Union Mothers' Club. Also, they presented the operetta, 'iHansel and Gretelf' under the direction of Miss Katherine Jackson. After giving their first performance at Peoria High. they proceeded to Roosevelt Junior High School, Longfellow Grade School. and Kingman Grade and High School. They played and sang to full houses of grade-school children in the afternoons of March 31. April 1. 2 and 5. Much practicing and work was done by Lucille Roark. Hope Anderson. Alice Chown, Dorothy Eken, Dorothea Maurer, Margaret Jones, Margaret Irvine. and the girls with minor parts. The money thus gained was used for the Big Twelve meeting in Peoria. From each glee club, thirty students were chosen to represent the glee clubs of our school. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Top Row-Nott. NeB', Burt. Smith. Fourth Row-Blossom. Cantwell. Groom. Holmes. Blossom.

The cast was formally announced at last, and all Curiosities were stirred during the next few weeks by the pre-View assembly, bright posters, and snatches of songs from the opera which were heard on the tongues of the cast. Through the evenings of December 10 and 11, the audiences sat bewitched by the rollicking melodies of Gilbert and Sullivan. Bill Reinkin, as the Pirate King, and Keith Jameson, as Samuel, strutted before the outlaw band and poor Frederic, played by Deane Weinberg, who had been apprenticed to them in his infancy by his stupid nurse. The day of Frederic's release was come, and at last he was free from his irksome duties, but not free from the amorous pleadings of his old nurse, Ruth, played by Margaret Hootman. Soon the handsome young man fell in love with Mary Burdick, as Mabel, the daughter of the Major-General of the British Army, and complications arose. To save himself, John Parkhurst, as the Major-General, told the picates that he had been a lonely orphan boy, which was only an innocent fiction, but it came in the same category as telling a regular terrible story. Soon poor Frederic learned that he had been born in Leap Year on February 29, so he would not be free for many years. A slave of duty, he had to admit that the Major-General had takenadvantage of the pirates' kind hearts to save himself and his daughters. Through the heroism of the brave little band of police, all were saved and the pirates reformed. Free again from his appren- D784 Standing-Parkhurst, Hootman, Weinberg, Jameson Remkm F om Left to Right-Michell, Singer, Webber, Altorier, Flora, Gracier, Keele, Kempster, Kupel.

The Major-General's other daughters and their pirate-mates and Fred- eric and Mabel were soon to be Hparsonifiedn when the curtain came down and closed the careers of the Pirates of Penzance . With a full house both nights, the comic opera was successful. The cooperation of the entire cast throughout many weeks of rehearsals, with active committees capably supervised by faculty members, and the orchestra, directed by Mr. Irving Bradley and accompanied by Miss Alice Carey, contributed to the success of the production, thus adding another to the long list of music department presentations. - Under the direction of Miss Katherine Jackson and Arthur Epstein, the unforgettable songs and lively action made the audiences applaud for curtain calls and go out with lilting melodies humming in their brains. The bright pageantry of costumes, the rock-bound coast of Cornwall, England, and the ruined chapel, the dance of the Major-Generals' daughters, the lovely solos, the stirring choruses, the heart-rending farewell of the policemen-all these made this biennial opera a long-to-be-remembered occasion. In February Pekin High School presented the same opera. Eager to see the entire production and to compare performances, and interested in the differences in detail, the entire cast, en masse, piled into cars and drove to Pekin to attend the opera. This recalled to them their own work and the triumphant nights of the finished production. D791 SWEET STRAINS THAT CHARM ORCHESTRAS UNDER the direction of L. Irving Bradley are the advanced and beginning orchestras. These groups meet as classes every day and their work is now ac- credited by the University of Illinois. Although the orchestras are not so ac- tive as the band in school affairs, they are very beneficial to young people who have musical talent and appreciation for a high type of music. The Advanced Orchestra played on several occasions this year, at the senior class play, Seven Chances, at the mid-year graduation, at the Jusen- dra production, I'll Leave It To You, and at the opera, The Pirates of Pen- zance, they furnished the music. To accompany the singing in the opera, the orchestra had to learn many new songs. Equally important as the Advanced Orchestra is the Beginning Orchestra, for its present members are soon to become the members of the former group. By practice and gradual development they are growing into real musicians. Of this orchestra Mr. Bradley said, They are quite a fine organization and they will be promoted to the Advanced Orchestra next yearf' A growth in the inter- est in music was shown by the increased number of members in this beginning ADVANCED ORCHESTRA Stand g-Brackett, McClugage, Mr. Bradley.

BAND AS ALWAYS before, the band has been very active this year. They played at football games in the fall and at basketball games which took place in the arm- ory in the winter. Several new songs were introduced to Peoria High School students by the band, notably, the popular Touchdown, which was used dur- ing the football season, and the adaptation of 'Tve Been Workini On the Rail- road. This organization of 75 students meets once a day in the auditorium un- der the direction of L. Irving Bradley. Again this year the band ranked in the First Division of the District Con- test, therefore becoming eligible to go to the state competition, which was held at the University of Illinois in Urbana on April 22, 23, and 24. Peoria High School's soloists and ensembles, directed by Mr. Bradley, also brought laurels to their school in the district contest, which met in our own building. Out of thirteen solo and ensemble entries, Peoria High's representa- tives took ten of the first division rankings, and three of our contestants won second division places. Those who competed in the state contest for first divi- sion ratings were: Bob Cowan, iiute, Charles Mercer, flute, Julia Ann Ball, oboe, John Whisenand, clarinet, Jack Burrell, clarinet, Ralph Davis, trombone, Robert Thurman, snare drums, Marianna Richardson, French horn, the clari- net quartet, and the woodwind octet. Second division winners were: Kenneth McMullen, drum major, the woodwind trio, and the bass trio. In the latter part of April, the band gave its annual concert, an event anti- cipated by those interested in music. The Peoria High School band is one of the foremost musical organizations in the school, and, although the work is part of the curriculum, the band spends much time in outside activities. The energy and interest of its members has made it what it is-an organization full of the building spirit so necessary to a school's development.

BECAUSE the name jusendra stands for QJujnior-QSenjiorQDrajmatic or- ganization, the club is open only to juniors and seniors who are interested in dramatics. Last year the members were chosen by try-outs, but that method was abandoned this year by Miss Geraldine Iler and Miss Helen Conway, SPOIISOFS. At the regular meetings which were held once a month, one-act plays were presented, acted by students. The only outside speaker in this year's programs was Miss Dorothy Crowder, teacher of English and journalism here. Miss Crowder who had traveled on the continent last summer, took as her topic 'Theatres in Europe, a subject which was very interesting to all. Through its production, 'Tll Leave It To You, Jusendra gained the money to send the speech teams to several contests. On February 26, the annual speech contests were held here at school. From the 54 students who competed, nine were chosen to attend the state contest at Lincoln, Illinois. Before the Lincoln contest, three members went to Canton on March 21 and two more fol- lowed on March 22. Those who competed at Canton were: Jeanne Swann, dramatic reading and extemporaneous speech, Don Wollett, original oratoryg Shirley Caplan, a verse recital, Deane Weinberg, declamatory oratoryg and John Parkhurst, humorous reading. Miss Geraldine Iler, speech instructor, ac- companied them to judge in the one-act play division. A few days later, March 25, 26, and 27, the entire speech team competed with other students from all over the state in the National Forensic League contest. Those in the Lincoln contest were: Jeanne Swann and Don Wollett, extemporeg John Parkhurst and Margaret Hootman, humor, Deane Weinberg and Chuck Gamble, oratori- cal declamationg Jeanne Swann and Rona Mae Oberman, dramatic declama- tiong Don Wollett and Bill Brown, original oratory.

This is a high honor for Don, who has been very active in dramatics and speech dur- ing his junior and senior years. jusendra made it possible for the speech team to represent Peoria High School at Canton and at Lincoln. Jusendra plans to close its schedule with a banquet again this year. At last year's banquet, held in May at the Creve Coeur Club, members were privileged to hear Mrs. Dorothy Powers Blomeyer, prominent in the Peoria Players, and Miss Julia Pitchford, first place winner in the humorous division of the national contest. A novel method of giving honor to the worthiest mem- bers was introduced last year when Miss Iler and David Owen, former speech teacher here, presented medals to Frank Reichelderfer and Bob Wolber. Because the field of drama has become increasingly popular during the last few years, Jusendra has been one of the outstanding clubs in the school. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in dramatics among the students and to de- velop any talent shown. Many members were able to perform this year, there being a program at nearly every meeting. In the monthly meetings, the actors and the directors of the one-act plays were students. This experience gives the student a practical knowledge of the stage and practice in speaking before an audience. Although all members did not participate in the programs, there were approximately 200 juniors and seniors who showed their interest in this club by attending the meetings. This organization has had another successful year and has accomplished its purpose of interesting students in the speech activities of the school. For the Big Twelve Drama Festival, Jusendra co-operated with the speech department in giving a Chinese comedy, The Good and Obedient Young Man. 1 l'LL LEAVE IT TO YCDUH Jack Weidner, Gene Smith, Jeanne McCalip, Betty Boyd, Dorothy Jans- sen, Dorothy Scott, Katherine Mar- tin, Lois Morris, Bill Brown, and Chuck Gamble.

She was the sponsor of the morning group of Jusendra and director of the big Jusendra production of the year. She chose 'Tll Leave It To You, a three-act comedy by Noel Coward, and selected an able cast from those who tried out. On February 4 and 5, the audiences were enthusiastic over the play, which closed by leaving it to tl'1er1'1. Uncle Dan, played by Gene Smith, succeeded in fooling his shiftless nieces and nephews into making their lives worth something. Oliver, enacted by Jack Weidner, became very prominent in his business, Sylvia, played by Jean McCalip, turned into a sensational movie star, Bobbie, enacted by Chuck Gamble, wrote popular love songs, Joyce, played by Katherine Martin, excelled in her school work, and Evangeline, played by Dorothy Janssen, wrote a best-selling novel. Uncle Dan was expected to die soon and had promised to bequeath his huge fortune to each one. When they learned that he was a fake, they quickly lost interest in him. When Mrs. Crombie and her flighty daughter, Faith, played by Dorothy Scott and Lois Morris respectively, learned that Bobbie would not inherit a great fortune, they departed and left him to recover from his love for Faith. Betty Boyd played the role of the worried and poor Mrs. Dermott whose five children were growing up without developing their abilities. Bill Brown was the butler who remembered for the dis-tracted mistress of the home. The interesting plot and study of human feelings and faults were well por- trayed by the cast, who worked hard with their director, Miss Conway, for several weeks preceding the big productions on Thursday and Friday nights. Different committees headed by teachers also helped to make I'll Leave It To You another successful Jusendra production. i844 ,,, Y Z 7 Bill Brown, Fred Silzer and Jeanne McCalip. SEVEN CHANGES 'SEENY-MEENY-MINY-MOE , so joe Morgan might have said in his sleep during the weeks of practicing for the senior class play. Each day through several weeks he proposed to six girls in the space of one short evening-in three acts. The living room of a men's club is the set in which Jimmy, played by Joe Morgan, proclaims to all friends that he will never marry. He is firmly endorsed by Garrison, played by Ray Weeks, who is tempestuously married to Mrs. Garri- son, enacted by Margaret Jones. When Jimmy's grandfather dies and leaves all his fortune to him on the condition that he be married by the time that he is thirty, he is convinced by Meekin, played by La Verne Swords, that he should marry. His thirtieth birthday is within two days, so he proposed in rapid-fire succession to five girls, all of whom refuse him. At last Anne, played by Jeanne Swann, is convinced that marrying him is the right thing to do, and the curtain falls as they rush to the Justice of the Peace without a license with only a few moments left. The various girls to whom he offers his heart and fortune during the hazardous evening are: Georgie, Jeanne McCalipg Irene, Dorothy Easton, Peggy, Betsy Hunter, Lilly, Shirley Caplan, and Florence, Mary Ellen Menden- hall. Besides these, he proposes to a girl over the phone only to find that she was miles away, and Meekin proposes to an older girl for him. During this trying time, Betty, played by Becky Peters, tries to win his affections, and he is severely tried by the feeble assistance and advice of Goddard and Joe, played by Bob Gibbons and Bill Brown respectively. It is George, the butler, played by Fred Silzer, who brings the word that Peggy will marry him, but these plans are ruined by Irene Trevor, who is only sixteen. Garrison, too, has his troubles, for Mrs. Garrison is quite official, even in the midst of an attack of appendicitis. All, however, ends rightly, if not peacefully. Clever lines and fast action made Seven Chances a success with its audi- ences both nights. Joe Morgan and Jeanne La Verne Swords and Dorothy Swann Easton.

ALL Tl-IE WORLD'S A STAGE CUE CLUB THE two Cue Clubs of Peoria High School are for freshmen and sophomores. They were founded in 1931 to develop the appreciation of dramatic art, to discover and cultivate dramatic talent among the members, and to prepare for membership into Jusendraf' Once a month the morning group met in the auditorium with Miss Cora Maxiield, advisor. Several talks were given by students, one of which was What Is Expected of Play Directors, by Frank Barnett. Budding talent for play writing was brought to the front by three one-act plays written by Cue Club members. Dorothy Ann Smith was the author of two, Janet Terry was the author of A Ruby Takes a Walk, a comedy. Other plays presented dur- ing the year were, D-298, Enter, James, Three Is a Crowd and Jack Dal- ton Gets Hisf' Officers were: Vicki Michel, president, Barbara Weaver, vice- presidentg Jackie Swann, secretary, and Phyllis Ann Sprenger, treasurer. Under the sponsorship of Miss Mamie T. McGrath, the afternoon Cue Club has had a very active and interesting year. A one-act play or a program was presented at each meeting by students. Those plays which were given were Not Quite Such a Goosej' The Telegram, Cornfed Babies, The Ghost of a Freshman, and Suit the Professor. One of their most enjoyable meetings was a variety program, in which twelve students participated, hu- morous readings, popular songs, piano solos, and tap dancing were presented by these versatile students.

There were guests at many of the meetings. Mrs. Frank Gillingham Mor- rill, prominent in Peoria's dramatic circles, took especial interest in the Cue Club and spoke at several of the meetings. Mr. Brewer, principal, also spoke. Officers of this group were: Wayland Barnes, later John Wemple, president, John Whitney, vice-president, Betty Huxtable, secretary, and Edwin Lyon, treasurer. At one of the Parent-Teachers Association meetings, members of Cue Club presented a one-act comedy. Also, several students gave Corn Fed Babies in the lunch hour assemblies. Through their interest in drama, members of Cue Club are preparing themselves for membership in Jusendra, which is for juniors and seniors only. Not only are they learning the rudiments of dramatic art by seeing and par- ticipating in plays-they are learning to be at ease before an audience. A new step was taken when members presented original plays. This showed that Cue Club had helped them to bring out their own writing abilities. By the aid of its sponsors, Miss McGrath and Miss Maxfield, and by the enthusiasm of its members, Central Cue Club has very well accomplished its purpose. An amendment to the Cue Club constitution was adopted this year. It was unanimously agreed that the president of said organization should have an average grade of C or better. D871 ALL SET! LIGHTS! CURTAIN! STAGE CREW THE unsung heroes of Peoria High School are the boys on the crews. Theirs are the inglorious jobs, the behind-the-scene jobs, the taken-for-granted jobs. Without them, there could be no productions, assemblies, movies, or any of those entertainments which vary the daily schedule. Under the supervision of Arthur Swanson, Orvill Connett, and Russell Wharry, five boys perform the duties of the stage crew. Their greatest re- sponsibility is to take care of the stage during the lunch hour assemblies each day. Through the long weeks before a production is presented, the stage crew remains late after school to work on the stage, building the scenery. When Seven Chances, The Pirates of Penzance, I'll Leave It To You, and Hansel and Greteli' were given, the faithful crew worked through all per- formances, changing sets between acts, and closing the curtain at the psycholog- ical moment. At the regular meetings of Jusendra and Cue Club, too, they care for the stage and set the scene. PROJECTION CREW COOPERATING closely with the stage crew to produce the right effect at plays and musical entertainments are the six boys of the projection crew. It is their constant duty to be present in the lunch hour assemblies, for they have charge of lights and the address system. Beside their daily jobs, they project the movies in the auditorium during the monthly social hours, and they operate the slides used at entertainments. It is by their work that we enjoy the music before and after the lunch hour assemblies. This projection crew works under the direction of Arthur Epstein. Through their hard work they are learning the crafts of stage, lighting and sound system, they are also giving invaluable service to the school. There never was a bad man that had ability for good service. -Burke.

The new theory of education is that more things may be learned through actual sight of a thing than through the printed matter about it in a text book. Realizing this fact, the boys of the Visual Aids Club, sponsored and assisted by J. C. Gambach, are learning to apply their talents to movies. As a member of the University of Illinois Visual Aids Service and of the In- ternational Educational Pictures, Inc., this club procures various educational moving pictures during the year. Once each year they buy a 400-foot reel and deposit it with the University of Illinois Visual Aids Service, which then sends them any films which they choose. With many other such clubs throughout the state contributing to the common collection of films, there can be much freedom in their choice. The only expense is annual purchase of a film and the two-way postage. For this expense, the boys of the club sold candy at football games. The service rendered by the Visual Aids Club is great. For classes in com- mercial geography, biology, chemistry, industrial arts, and advertising they project films which pertain to the subject at hand. Different members of the club are at work during nearly every hour of the day. Two meetings a month are held, wherein members discuss financial prob- lems with their sponsor. New boys who are interested in the activities of the club are instructed in the operation of the machine. Through their work in this club, boys learn the technicalities of operating a moving projector. This knowledge will aid them in the future, for movies are the coming thing in education. The Peoria High department of Visual Aids is one of the most useful organizations in the school.

NC ENGLISH ALLOWED LE CERCLE FRANCAIS AT THE lively meetings of Le Cercle Francais, students of second, third, and fourth year French classes enjoy themselves in French. Because all conversa- tion in English is forbidden, the meeting, games, and songs are in French, the music always begins with La Marseillaisef' One of the most interesting meetings of the year was that at which Miss Miriam Hirsch, former student here, told the club of her experiences as a teacher in France. At another meeting, members spent an exciting evening in a treasure hunt, planned by Mademoiselle Bunch, sponsor. For a P.-T. A. meeting, several members of Mademoiselle Bunch's second year students presented La Surprise d'Isadore, a one-act comedy. To top off the year's activities, members of Le Cercle Francais of Peoria High School attended a banquet with the French students of Manual and King- man High Schools. DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN is a club in which students of German meet and enjoy themselves in speaking the German language. The club is under the spon- sorship of Miss Charlotte Ziegler. There are about eight meetings throughout the year at homes of members. The high culture of Germany is reflected in the meetings of this club, for the members study German music and life with the aid of records and colored travel moving pictures. Besides this study, there are games, plays, and old German songs which are loved by all. Der Deutsche Verein also contributed a part of the evening's program to the P.-T A. meeting in which several clubs participated. They spoke of the life of Strauss and his immortal Blue Danube Waltz, and a member played it on the piano. 7:90 cc THEY NOTE GREAT EVENTS STAMP CLUB THERE is no hobby more fascinating or educational than stamp-collecting. Col- lectors who begin early learn many important facts, and often their collections are worth hundreds of dollars. A new club for philatelists was organized this year by Miss Avice Perdew for those who could not attend the club sponsored by Miss Ada Stewart. Once a week there are meetings of the clubs, at which there are auctions, contests, exchanges, travel talks, and other topics of interest to the stamp-lover. A ques- tionnaire on United States stamps was prepared by Miss Stewart for the members of the early group. Another interesting and competitive meeting was a guessing contest, wherein students tried their knowledge by guessing the date of a certain stamp issue, the reason for the issue, or the event commemorated by the partic- ular stamp. There were awards for those who knew the most about the stamps. Beside the meetings held at school, the late group of Stamp Club met at the home of their advisor, Miss Perdew, to exhibit their own collections. SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB T0 MAKE better citizens is the purpose of the Social Science Club, advised by Y. A. Heghin. Through discussion of current political events and social problems the student is taught to think and to observe, to draw conclusions for himself. Every member is urged to take part in the meetings which are held every other Monday afternoon. Two outside speakers wre brought in by Mr. Heghin. Ralph Sours, former Central teacher talked on Courts in the United States , and George Hunt, Peoria attorney, discussed the business of law. There were two debates, one was Resolved: That the United States Would Be Better Off Under a Republican Governmentjl and the other Resolved: That the Supreme Court Should Be Left Alone? Bud Briggs spoke on the topic Newspapers and Their Present Day Tendencies. Mr. Heghin discussed the Japanese-American relations and several other subjects of interest. Every six weeks The Pathfinder , a collection of student-written articles, was presented. Altogether, the Social Science Club had an energetic and worthwhile year. Stewart.

SCIENCE CLUB EVERY other Friday afternoon, approximately thirty-five students of science meet with Mr. Epstein, Mr. Sommer, Mr. Shepherd and Miss Garma Kinhofer to discuss topics of scientific interest. The programs are a mixture of biology, 2 chemistry, and physics, as the sponsors are teachers in those classes. There are 5 papers, discussions, and demonstrations on all kinds of science, pure and applied. Among those subjects spoken upon in meetings this year were: X-ray, the , black widow spider, the prevention of cancer, deep sea diving, the new telescope, , vivisection, long range weather forecasting, Eastern oil fields, peculiar fish, mos- quito boats, adulteration of Hoods, opium, the motion picture industry, accoustics, the flood, man's ancestry, singing mice, synthetic plastics, American heavy cruisers, and other current scientihc topics. There were also demonstrations on electro-magnetism, Bernoul1i's Principle, radio waves, spontaneous combustion, surface tension, and the occelliscope. Besides these discussions and demonstra- tions, there were brain teasers which were submitted by club members. The Science Club also took a field trip in the spring. 1: af SERVICE WITI-I A SMILE CHARVICE Top Row-Burdick, Linder, Snyder Mendenhall, Chamberlin, Miss Hayes Miller, Weers, Kantor, Oberman.

CHARVICE AN OLD saying goes, If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. So might the faculty have judged when they elected members to the girls' hon- orary service society, for the girls are chosen for their Qcharjacter and previous serfvicej to the school. There are usually fifty members in Charvice during a school year, initiated in the middle of each semester. Because they pledge themselves to serve the school more efficiently, Charvice girls enter into the duties of ushering at programs held here, selling candy at matinee dances, asisting the deans, the office force, and the librarian, and being of general assistance. The sponsors of Charvice are Miss Vera Hayes, Miss Georgia Coppock, Miss Charlotte Zeigler, and Miss Zelma Justus, Principal J. H. Brewer is an honorary member of this society. i PROMERITO PROMERITO is the Latin expression which means For Merit, it is for their character, leadership, service, and other good qualities that the members of the boys, honorary society are selected. Approximately thirty-five boys meet with Y. A. Heghin and Harry Gobble, sponsors, in the evenings at homes of members. From this year on, new members will be elected at the end of semesters instead of during the semesters as has been done heretofore. The brother society to Charvice, Promerito also serves the school by ush- ering at programs and assisting when needed. ,934 TRLS TG FIND AND GIVE THE BEST Standing-Bennett, Schlipf, Ander- son, Cowan, Crum, Dalphiaz, Rook, Pinkey, Pabst.

The Peoria High School chapter of Tri-S has been especially active this year, and the girls have enjoyed many good times together at the Y. W. C. A. Begin- ning early in the fall, this organization, under the sponsorship of Miss Lucille Waltmire of Peoria Hi h Sch 1 g oo and Miss Plummer, Girl Reserve Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., held parties at Halloween and Christmas time, and on several other occasions. One very interesting meeting was a World Service Spread, at which were served foods of all countries.

They gave gifts to charity at Christmas time. e money, the Tri-S girls gave a bakery sale and Wh' Perhaps the most outstanding discussion meeting of the year was that to which all Tri-S chapters and all Hi-Y chapters in Peor' ' ' 13 were invited. The sub- ject Personality-What Is It and How C I an t Be Developed? was discussed by Reverend William A. Young of the First Presbyterian Church and Dr. Clarence Gorsline of Bradley College. Following the discussion was a dance. Each summer, the Peoria High School chapter of Tri-S sends one of its mem- bers to the National Girl Reserve Conference. ' By attendance at other discussion meetings Tri S ' 1 ' , - gir s were given club rings for personal merit. Any girl is eligible to belong to this worthwhile organiza- tion which features spiritual and social growth and Christian service. Through their club, the Tri-S girls enjoy wholesome fun and activities. ,, 94 .. 1 1 1 51 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 T0 LIVE WORTHY LIVES HI-Y SENIOR HI-Y Standing-Anderson, Burgy, Galvin Szold, Keller, Easton, Park- hurst, Barclay.

BECAUSE of its purpose to foster higher morals, the Hi-Y appeals to boys of superior worth and ideals. In the bi-weekly meetings in the Circle Room of the Y. M. C. A. the boys hold open discussions, principally on the subject of character building. There are two Hi-Y's at Peoria High School-the Senior Hi-Y, spon- sored by J. E. Clifford, and the Junior Hi-Y, sponsored by Corinth Lange, both groups were created to further cleaner living and social relations. The Senior Hi-Y sent Gene Smith to the Older Boys' Conference at Danville, Illinois, later, he spoke about the meeting at a round-table discussion. Personality-What Is It and How Can It Be Developed? was the topic of a discussion attended by all Hi-Y and Tri-S chapters from Manual, Kingman, and Peoria High Schools. The speakers were Rev. William A. Young of the First ' ' ' 'd f nalit g and Dr. Presbyterian Church, who spoke on the Christian si e o perso y h d f the s chology department of Bradley College, who Clarence Gorsline, ea o p y spoke on the psychological aspect of personality. Another prominent discussion was Boy and Girl Relations , led by Al Mas- ton, instructor at William Hawley Smith School. The talk given by E. C. Fisher, Superintendent of Schools, was another of the four outstanding events in the Hi-Y year. His subject was, After High School -What? , a topic of vital interest to most of the older boys. Through the teachings and creed of the organization of Hi-Y, boys learn how to live more worthy and profitable lives and to meet the world with a healthy mind in a healthy body. - ' za 4 lT'S WORK, BUT WORTH lT QUILL AND SCROLL Top Row-Martin, Rind- fuss, Wollett, Szold, McClintick.

QUILL AND SCROLL ONE of the highest honors which can be given to any high school student is mem- bership in Quill and Scroll, an international honorary society for journalistic achievement. To be admitted, the student must be in the upper third of his class and his best work must be read and approved by the national secretary, whose office is at Northwestern University. Those eligible for the organization are the students who have done outstanding work on at least one of the school publications. The Peoria High School Chapter of Quill and Scroll is under the sponsor- ship of Earl English. Members of this society have a banquet every year before school closes. DRAMATI C HONOR SOCIETY FROM the cast of each dramatic production given at Peoria High School, the Dramatic Honor Committee, composed of faculty members headed by Miss Anna Bibo, selects the most outstanding actors for membership in the society. This honor is much coveted by those students who are dramatically inclined, although the society is a local one. Several students were chosen for their acting in Seven Chances, The Pirates of Penzance, I'll Leave It to You, and Hansel and Gretel this year. An interesting way of making known their membership in this society was chosen by the students, late this spring they presented a program in the lunch hour assemblies.

SENIOR NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY FROM the upper third of the junior and senior classes, approximately seventy students were elected to the Senior National Honor Society this year. Five students, Don Wollett, Jeanne Swann, Jean Chamberlin, Mary Jane Dempsey, and Margaret Hootman, were chosen at the end of their junior year, and the others were selected last March. Miss Georgia Coppock headed the faculty committee of Miss Carmen Morris, Miss Susie jones, and A. H. McConnell. The students were chosen for their scholarship, leadership, and character, and were formally acknowledged in the lunch hour assemblies. Late this spring, the society had a picnic to close the year. JUNIOR NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY FOUR ribbons are the emblem of membership in the Junior National Honor Society. This organization is composed of sophomores under the sponsorship of Miss Norma Bullock, Miss Garma Kinhofer, F. W. Pocklington, and Joseph Myers. Because sophomores have had so little time to show their leadership, members to this society are chosen principally for their scholarship. The golden ribbon stands for scholarship, the blue ribbon, for loyalty, the green ribbon, for leadership, the white ribbon, for character. ,974 Standing-Hartrunft, Vance, McClintick, Mr. Murphy.

It would disclose Dorothy Eas- ton and her faculty pictures, Mary Ellen Mendenhall in a maze of identifica- tions and clubs, and Dan Heiple measuring areas on his athletics pages. Betty Hartrunft would be seen cutting and pasting snapshots, and Bob Berte would be shown with his camera and flash bulb, perching high over a going-to-be choice basketball shot or waiting for some class to sit still. One would see Ruth Bohl writing clever lines about graduating seniors for the feature section and Betty Reising drawing cartoons for the calendar. Bob Vance would be shown beside his mountain with the Crest Drive, and Bill McClintick, examining the progress of sales with business managers' interest. It would show Anne Strehlow assist- ing anyone who needed her, getting experience for her job of editor-in-chief of '38.

Through the whole scene would be heard the feverish tap-tap-tap of the typewriter, constantly in use by Rona Mae Oberman. Majestically over the typewriter and the paste jar towers that taskmaster to whom all poor editors are slaves, that dominating ruler of year books-the Dummy. The outstanding event of the year to the staff was the trip in December to the convention of the National Scholastic Press Association held in Detroit. But all the time spent on the Crest was not toil, it was fun, and happy afternoons slipped by for the staff, who enjoyed congenial work and friends. And when the book was sent to press, we felt relief, yes, but we remem- bered many busy, cheerful hours spent in 214 with our literary sponsor, Mrs Bess D. Hale. The making of the Crest will always be a treas- ure in our chest of memories. ,M Tl-IE CREST Editor-in-Chief . Business Manager Assistant Editor . Faculty Editor . Senior Editor . Classes Editor .

However the Sophs t o o k the Roosevelt Roughriders by an 18-13 count and the Pekin Reserves by a 14-12 score. Despite frequent beat- ing they showed real material for next year's varsity. Lelt to Right-Thompson, Cobb, Kibler, Trainer Bill Conway, Feuchter, Shoots. CHEERLEADERS This year's cheerleading squad showed their appreciation of the new uniforms purchased for them by the student donations by put- ting on a real show at all the games. Quite a few new members were added this year including several girls later in the season after this picture was taken. A sparkplug in this yearls line up was Rod Thomp- son. Left to right-Simms, Erickson, Dixon, White- side, Price, Opperley, R. Norton, Wasson B. Norton, Carver, Norris. i MANAGERS The managers under the direc- tion of Bill Conway turned in an- other season of hard work unher- alded. Few people realize the mul- tiplicity of the duties they must perform. The boys worked hard this year, and deserve all the praise we can give them. Basketball Alfa'-?

WITHOUT a letterman or sub back around which to build a team, the Hunters had a successful season, winning twelve, losing eight, and tying one. Starting the season with a double header, they beat La Fayette and Elmwood both in the same evening, giving the boys quite a work out and Doc Herke a chance to try different combinations. The next game, which was a practice one with last yearis varsity, they lost by a wide margin showing them that they had a lot yet to learn. In the next four games the Maroons hit rough going and dropped close ones to Lewistown, East Peoria, Canton, and Spalding. For a time it looked as if the Jinx that followed the Bluffmen all fall had stayed over for the basketball season. But then they came back to take the Streator quintet by 5 points. They lost the next two to Manual and Springfield by close margins and then hit a winning streak which carried them through for six straight victories against some of the stiffest opposition in the state.

However, in the next tussle against Pekin at East Peoria and for state honors, the celestial outfit went hog wild, running over our lads by 11 points. This ruined the Hunters' bid for stateg but they came back the next night to finish off the season with a 35-16 win over Roanoke. During the season, although they missed the conference titles, the Hunters took third place laurels in the Big 12 and came out of the city contest in a three way tie for first place.

Cody and Pray netted first laurals in the District Doubles, with East and Way as runners up. East and Way also went to the quarter finals in the State Doubles and were runners up in the Big 12 doubles. But after all, a record of only one loss speaks for itself. Mr. Bockwitz's golf squad equaled the tennis team by becoming city champs. In the District Meet Modjeska, Morrison and Andrews qualified and in the state Morrison took twelfth and Modjeska thirteenth. P. H. S. left the Big 12 dragging along a second place which was aided by Modjeska's first. All in all the boys were really sinkin' them this season. 7 Left to Right-Andrews, Mr. Herke, McCord, Morrison, Szold Mr Bock witz, Modjeska.

During the season they whipped our age-old rival, Manual, three times, and twice by more than thirteen runs. This was in atonement for an earlier season loss to them by a 3-O score, the only defeat which they encountered. Looking over the totals we see that they batted in 106 runs against their opponents' 23, and thatls what I call Hsluggin' 'em to a standstill. Out of 12 played they won 11 and lost 1, which, by a few mathematical computations yields us to the surprising aver- age of 91.6 per cent of the games played, wong a real average which is hard to beat.

AS USUAL the Central Tankers turned in their always successful season, this time finishing off with a fourth in the State Meet. In their initial go they topped the LaSalle-Peru outfit in a close 42-33 battle at the start. The upstate lads led the meet by annexing the first three events. However, our lads came back in the next five events to cinch the meet. Jordan shaved first honors in the 100-yard free style with Meuller of LaSalle, Vance and Burhans copped first and second in the 100-yard backstroke, Richy Ander- son swam to victory in the 220-yard free style, and Henry Jacobs, a newcomer to the squad this year walked off with a first in the diving. Then at the next meet, for which our boys journeyed to Rockford, an old score was settled. ,l 114 if The tankers took a beating a year ago at the hands of the strong Rockford Squad and so were out for blood this year. As it was, Coach Klingel took one of the supposedly weakest teams in years to the Rockford stronghold to emerge vic- torious by a score of 43-32. In the return tilt with Rockford the Central tankers felt heavily the loss of Harry Jacobs, star diver, and Art Szold, veteran freestyler, and were barely able to nose out the Rab bunch by a 39-36 count. Central's big three in the persons of Anderson, Jordan, and Vance saved the day by nabbing the blue ribbons right and left. When LaSalle came back to try again for the Klingelmen scalps the boys showed that the first time was not a fluke by taking them again, this time to the tune of 36-29. THE diving problem caused by the loss of Jacobs seemed to be solved as Chuck Powers gave a very good showing of himself. This made the ninth straight win for Central in this and previous seasons. Journeying to Danville as defending champs of the Big 12, the tankers proved conclusively that they had the real stuff by stealing first position for the fourth year in a row and the fifth out of the last seven. It seems that good teams are becoming a habit around old P. H. S. Material or no material the same results appear every year. Disproving the old saying that you can't make something out of nothing, A1 takes a few returning lettermen as a nucleus and builds a winning team around it. To top off the season Coach Klingel took four of the lads to Chicago for the State Meet and the boys outdid themselves, moving Central's state position up from seventh to fourth. Lettermen this year number thirteen: Richard Anderson, Paul Jordan, Bob Vance, Art Szold, Wally Favorite, Doug Barnett, Todd Gardner, Dan Anderson, Don Burhans, Chuck Powers, Harry Jacobs, Bill Easton, John Bradley, and Manager Rod Thompson. w1l5e CentraI's Big Three -Vanc J d d Anderson.

CENTRAL,S thinlies handed in a better than average record this year at the close of their season. They held prominent positions in eight of the nine meets in which they participated, three firsts, three seconds, one third, and one fifth. They repeated last year's performance by running away with first place in the Greater Peoria Track Meet and moved up from a second to a first in the District meet. Crossing the tape in third place, they held their previous posi- tion in the Big Twelve. And, in retaliation for a 53-69 loss last season, they trounced Pekin by 20 points in the tenth annual duel meet between the two teams. They failed to place only in the Oak Park Relay Carnival, but the loss was alleviated by an outstanding performance by Earl Key, star highjumper. He cleared the bar at six feet, two and one-eighth inches to break the school record. Key made a good showing all season and could always be counted on for just a little more when we needed it most. He also took fifth place in the state meet. The team will miss him next year as he is to be lost by graduation.

The 880 relay team consisting of Ed Lulay, Perry Kempster, Bob Gibbons, and Harold Johnson, ran their opponents to a frazzle, and broke the record. The time-l:32.6. Besides their regular meets with outside teams, the squad has an all around meet among its members. There are twelve events and a man may enter any ten of them. They are scored and the one receiving the most points receives a cup, signifying that he is the best all around man on the track team. Andy Peterson took this year's all-around meet. The real end that this meet accomplishes, however, is to stimulate practice and keep the boys on their toes through con- stant competition. It also brings out their relative abilities in the different distances. The squad will lose many veterans through graduation. Those lost will be Rapp, Lakin, Gillott, Farmer, Delaney, Hartzell, Hahn, Wilmont, Key. However, with such men as Peterson, Kempster, Johnson, and Pendola returning, next year's squad should be a good one. if ll7 ff GIRLS' ATHLETIC VOLLEYBALL Doebler, Weisner, Chown, Hayes, Lorentz, Stambaugh, Okerberg, Ford, Edwards, Morris.

THE GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, or G.A.A. as it is usually called, was founded in 1916 and in the twenty-one years of its existence has grown to great popularity among the girls in the high school. Miss Amy Wolff who took over the duties of the girls' gym teacher and G.A.A. sponsor in the middle of last year is largely responsible for the increased interest during the past year. The purpose behind the organization is to promote an interest in sports and teach the girls good sportsmanship. Its activities for 1936-37 have included a wide program of athletic and social events. The main interest this fall centered around exciting tournaments in volleyball and basketball as well as two newly organized activities, the bowling and swimming clubs. The basketball season brought close contesting in both morning and afternoon shifts for the championship teams. There were four teams in the morning shift and eight in the afternoon. The winners in both leagues then played a heated game which the morning shift won, but only after going into two over- time periods. In the volleyball league, as in basketball, there were twelve closely matched teams each of which made a line showing. The newly organized bowling and swimming clubs attracted a lively interest. The bowling team met at the Peoria Auto Parts on Tuesday evenings where they soon became very proficient in the art of pin busting. w118a ASSOCIATION BASKETBALL Afternoon Shift-Tapping, Saunders, Miller, Dalpiaz, Watson Whisenand, Holtzman.

THE swimming club met at the Y. W. C. A. on Wednesday evenings to play and receive instruction. In the fall a surprise party was held to initiate the new members of G.A.A. The girls just seemed unable to get enough to eat. Along with the basketball season, winter brought a roller skating party, a gay event which proved very novel in this season. With spring, interest shifted to baseball and track, not to mention the newly organized golf team which has been permitted by the State G.A.A. to compete with other schools. The mother-daughter banquet brought the sports year to a conclusion. The banquet is to become an annual event at which time the athletic awards for the year will be presented. The awards consist of pins, school letters, and special letter awards made by the State G.A.A. All year the girls are given points for participation in the different activities, a greater number if they are on a winning team. For 600 points a girl receives a pin and for 1000 a school letter. For points in excess of these the state makes individual awards. The President for the past year was Harriet Vance, Vice Presidents, Alice Lyon and Margaret Whisenand, Secretary, Maxine Merrill, Treasurers, Irene Collins and Margaret Johnson. nl194 7 S ,Z ,, ,J 1 X - Z . i 3 Msg Qyff , 4725 I ,I-1 L-Y 1 -N-4.
