Of these streets Elm Place has first honors for here the arches are more perfect and give pleasant re- lief to the tired tourist. At the opposite end of town Park Avenue West greets the traveler from the west. Perhaps not as lovely as Elm Place yet it bids fair for favorable comments from the passing stranger. Coming from the east one enters Princeton on East Peru Street and here too finds a shady street with lovely trees to welcome him. One hundred years ago many of these trees were not yet planted or were dwarfs in contrast to their present growth. The early settlers coming from New England towns or other sections of the east planted these trees. Both men and women worked to beautify the little village of those days. Today we reap the benefit of their labors. May our con- tribution to the city on one hundred years hence be as meaningful as theirs has been to us, DEDICATIQN HROUGHOUT the history of any community will be found two groups of loyal citizens. The first is a smaller energetic group who actually give their time to the carrying on of the government and its associated projects. They are well known, their names are frequently in the papers, and their names go down in historical records, The other group is larger. They go quietly about their work from day to day. Their names do not make news yet they contribute much to the stand- ards of the life of the community. Theirs is a quiet pursuance of the task at hand, a weaving into the pattern of community life a design of honest toil, high concepts of duty and civic righteousness, steadfast loyalty to the best interests of the citizenry. Both groups are necessary and desirable. To all those who in the first century of Princetons history, have given such leadership to make our present community, we the class of N238 dedicate this edition of the Tiger. lflm Street Park Avenue XX'est Fast Peru Street ,C-Eze Centennial! .Egger 1858-1958 THE STAFF EDI'I'oRIAL STAFF- C0-Edilorf .,A...

The welfare of its elderly people, its children, and its sick is always a problem con, fronting a progressive community. Along these lines Princeton has not been amiss. Located on Park Avenue East is the so-called Old Ladies Home!-a place where elderly ladies find a home when for some reason their own home has been broken up. Here the twilight years of their lives may be spent in the knowledge that they will not lack that which makes life comfortable. At the opposite end of the city on Elm Place is the Covenant Children's Home. Supported by those of the Mission Covenant faith it provides a fit home for children and youth who otherwise would have no home to care for them. Again on Park Avenue East is the julia Rackley Perry Memorial Hospital, made possible by the generous gift of Mrs. Perry. Well equipped and well staffed it offers the best of medical care not only to Princetonians but also to many in the neighboring communities. , glze Clentermial ,finger 1858-1958 V One of the first homes built within the present city limits was the cabin of john Howard Bryant, brother of the poet, Willianl Cullen Bryant. Mr. Bryant, with his mother and brothers, was one of the early settlers. Always looking to the future of Princeton, he was one of those who made possible the Princeton Township High School.

Here meets the City Council to de- cree ordinzinccs for the government of the City. HE 17th of March marked the centennial of Princeton's incorporation as a town. On that day in 1838 twenty voters cast their ballots for its in- corporation. The twenty were Andrew F. Smith, Stephen Wilson, William H. Wells, Noah Wis- woll, Cyrus Langworthy, john Long, Robert C. Masters, Samuel Triplett, john Walter, Butler Dunham, john Vaughan, Oliver Boyle, E. H. Phelps, joseph Smith, Robert Stewart, john H. Bryant, justin M. Olds, Thomas Elston, and Robert Templeton. The first step toward establishing a local gov- ernment had been taken in 1832 when a land sur- vey was completed by B. M. Hayes. A plot was made and its subdivisions recorded by Warren Hooper, Recorder of Putnam County of which Bureau County was then a part. As early as 1831 a postmaster had been appointed and the village was known as Greenfield. This name was not sat- isfactory to all concerned so three names were placed in a hat and the one drawn out was Prince- ton. All of this plus the coming of additional settlers made possible the incorporation of the town of Princeton. Shortly after this Princeton be- came the county seat of the newly organized Bureau County. From 1838 until 1884 Princeton remained a vil- lage governed by a Board of Trustees or Town Council. Many problems of government arose dur- ing this period. Among these was the laying out of street sand side walks, the control of the sale of in- toxicating beverages, the graveling and sprinkling of streets, protection of property from fire haz- ards, and the problems arising with the Civil War. A word should be said about the fire department. In 1859 the construction of five cisterns to hold rain water for fighting fires was completed and two years later an improved bucket was adoptedg a far cry from the department of today. Other interesting items include petitions to the govern- ment asking that horses be hitched to posts rather than trees and that cows be kept in at night. In 1884 an election was held to incorporate Princeton as a city. Over four hundred votes were cast in favor of incorporation and about three hun- dred votes were cast in favor of incorporation and about one hundred against. The aldermanic system of government, the only form used at that time, was adopted and the first election was held on April 15, 1884. justice Stevens was elected as mayor. This form of government was in effect un- til the adoption of the commission form in 1915.

They are justice Stevens, Robert R. Gibbons, A. H. Thompson, D, E. Munger, R. M. Skinner, C. A. Palmer, Wrltts A. johnson, james K. Hopkins, Guy A. Bryant, M. Ennes, R. L. Russell, L. M. Eckert, Charles F. Anderson, T. P. Gunning, Claude Brown and Floyd Avery. In Civic services the government of Princeton has been unusually beneficial. The water supply, always a problem of city government, was solved by the erection of a city water works in 1890 as a result of the activity of D. Munger and C. McManis. From time to time new wells were added and during the administration of Dr. T. P. Gunning a purifying and softening plant improved the water supply. A second public utility was provided with the purchase of a privately owned electric light plant in 1900 while Dr. C. A. Palmer was mayor. The light plant has been a profitable enterprise although as late as 1907 it was offered for sale because of unprofitableness. When no one offer- ed to buy the city council decided to improve it and with the moving of the plant to its present location business picked up. It has made one of the best street lighting systems in the state. A third civic prob- Hospital, The Matson Public Library and the Old Ladies Home.

Last but not least Mr. David Pamp-not a graduate of the school but nevertheless a loyal supporter of all school doingsfby profession one of the well known business men of Main Street. To these public spirited citizens we say, Thank You. Admired by teachers and pupils alike is our principal, Mr. Shaffer. He came to Princeton in 1920 and served for two years as instructor in Science. Then for two years he was in Oak Park and returned to us to serve as our Principal. Besides administrating the affairs of the school he finds time to in- troduce the Seniors to the intracacies of psychology, do numerous things in the community, and take part in the educational meetings of the state and national organizations. Mr. Shaffer Miss Ashdown, our Dean of Girls, may be small of stature but is large in friendship and interest in the students of the school. When not busy with the duties of Dean she propounds the value of z, y, z to the Freshmen or leads the Sophomores through the Pythagorean theorem, or takes the upper classmen through the labyrinth of advanced algebra and solid geometry. Miss Ashdown gne Centennial gnger TI-IE FACULTY Miss Bell has her hands full with Sophomore English, girls' gym classes, G. A. A., and the sponsoring of the class ot '58, Her genuine friendliness belies the idea that usually accompanies hair of the Titian hue. Miss Berry instructs the freshies in what they term Bugology. But that isn't all for botany, zoology and typ- ing are part of her sphere to say nothing of her advising the freshman class and captaining the Ladies Basketball Team. Mr. Burkey . . . Buck for short, is a master of all trades. English, American history, library, . . . all are within his control which does prove he is versatile. Mr. Burns is a new comer on the faculty. He's only been with us since the last of january but his genial smile has won him a place among the student body. He teaches typing and shorthand and assists with the athletic coaching. Mr. Ewart, better known as Cy , starts the freshmen in the way they should go by piloting them along the paths of general science. He also handles the boys' gym and is head coach of track. Last year he coached the team to a County championship. Mr. Fleming is one of the Old-timers. He is adviser for the junior class and F. F. A. We overheard someone re- marking about the number of pigs he has supervized in his years here. We hope it was the projects and not the students that was meant. Boys' Chorus, Girls' Chorus, Mixed Chorus, and Orches- tra fill Miss Fry's days to the full and often finds them overflowing. Somehow along with all this she sees that the juniors become acquainted with the great American writers. Noted for her wide vocabulary is Miss Graham. She makes even Latin classes interesting and that is something these days. As a sideline she keeps the affairs of the Sopho- more class under control and sees that new books are pur- chased for the library. Miss Johnson reigns supreme in the Office. She's heard all the excuses for tardiness which makes it hard for the students to think up new ones. She's mighty efficient and we'd hate to predict what would happen to the office if she were to leave. As for Mr. Kelsey. He is a glutton for work. Treasurer of the Organized Activities should be enough for one man. But not Mr. Kelsey. He teaches accounting and other com- mercial subjects, trains ballet dancers, and sings. All joking aside he is very capable and has the admiration of us all. MISS BELL MR. BURKEY MR. EWART MISS FRY MISS IOHNSON MISS BERRY MR. BURNS MR. FLIZMING MISS GRAHAM MR.

WERBELOW gne Centennial ,cnger THE FACULTY Mr. Lowry is leader of the Band. He looks like a pro- fessional in his new uniform. When not working with the Band he manages to keep out of mischief by teaching his- tory or economics and assisting Miss Bell with the Seniors. Note the twinkle in Mr. Lund's eye. He needs it to coral the freshies in math but we think it's because he's a newly- wed. He coaches debate and oratory which keeps him from absorbing too much greenness from his first year students. Do you want a new recipe of a pattern? If so, consult Miss Malsbury. She is another of our diminutive members but she accomplishes no end of things in her Home Ec de- partment. She even has to have an extra class period after school to pass out all the information she knows. Mr. Abe Martin is our new athletic coach and he really is a coach. For further proof look at the football and basketball season. To be sure he teaches history and law but coaching is where he takes the honors. Mrs. Mayeur is a linquist who parles Francais and also English. On the side she advises the juniors, the French Club and sees that the news staff gets it work in on time. Oh yes, she chaperones students to New Orleans during vacations. Mr. Mortensen pilots the Science and Camera Clubs when he isn't teaching physics and chemistry or doing all sorts of research along the same lines. He likes to study and is contemplating getting his doctor's degree. Miss Nicholas keeps busy from sunrise to sunset. Teach- ing English and Public Speaking occupies part of her time while the rest is consumed with play practice and contest coaching. Through it all she comes up smiling. If you want to know the latest situation in world affairs consult Miss Palmer. She teaches history and civics but her pride and joy and worry too is the Tiger. She hardly finishes one until she begins planning the next one. What's a scratch on your little finger or any other ail- ment when there is a capable school nurse like Miss Prince around. She keeps close tab on us all and gives the Senior girls a thorough course in home hygiene. Mr. Werbelow left us at the end of the first semester to take a position at the Deerfield-Shields High School. We hated to see him leave Princeton but we rejoice with him in his promotion. ,Cure Crenfenniaf Sager STUDENT ADMINISTRATORS Every school has students who help with the administra- tion of extra-curricular activities. Martha Zearing is President of the Senior Class, President of the Senior Hi-Tri, a member of the National Honor Society, and on the Business Staff ot the Tiger. The President of the Sophomore Class is Robert Duffield of twin fame. He is a hero of the gridiron and one of the few Sophomores to make the National Athletic Scholarship Society. William Smith, more commony known as Bill, wields the gavel over the Freshmen. He, too, is noted for his athletic prowess. Dorothy Skinner and Dexter Nelson are the editors of the weekly news items that appear in the papers. Besides this they are both in the Band and are members or the National Honor Society, Dexter is also President of the junior Class and the Camera Club. Carolyn McManis and Gene Connolly are Co-editors of this year's Tiger. Both are active in French Club and Carolyn is one of the sports managers of the G. A. A. The Home Economics Club has been under the able leader- ship of Marjorie Belkholm this year. jim Tedrow is President of the Science Club, a debater, one of the Business Staff of the Tiger, and a member of the National Honor Society and the National Forensic League. Another Duffield rates the Who's Who page. This time it's Dale, who is President of the Future Farmers, and mem- ber of both the National Honor Society and the Athletic Scholarship Society. Marjorie Thomas is President of Le Cercle Francais. She is on the Tiger Staff, and a member of the National Honor Society. The Girls' Athletic Association claims Ida jane Brooks as its President for a second year. Ida jane is also on the Tiger Staff. The Latin Club President is George Vane, another Sophomore. He not only knows his Latin but rates high in all his studies.

Beginning in any one of the three grades, depending where we live, we gain the elemental needs of our education. Then we pass to the Junior High located in the Logan building. Last but not least we ar- rive at the High School, from which four years later we leave with our much coveted diploma to begin life. RINCETON is justly proud of its schools and rightly so. From the earliest days education has been one of the main emphases. At the time of its incorporation school was held in the basement of the Hampshire Colony Church. Private schools were also held in homes until the formation of a definite school system. According to the records the first public school was legally authorized in 1851. The first school was located on the site of the present Lincoln school and was known as the South Union School. It was a two-room school and is supposed to have been erected by john H. Bry- ant and james Everett. Apparently no records had been kept before 1857. In that year a meeting was held and H. P. Farwell was employed as Principal at a salary of seven hundred dollars. The school year was divided into three terms, spring, winter and fall. Early in 1901 the school was destroyed by fire and the present Lincoln School was erected. The second school was the North Union School or Depot School. Later the name was changed to Douglas. The coming of the C. B. 8: railroad had caused the population to move to the north and thus created the need for a school in that sec- tion. The building was ready for use in the fall of 1879. By this time the educational needs had increased and Mr. C. P. Snow had been employed as Superintendent of the city schools at a salary of 551300. The highest salaried teacher received 3500. The third building is what is now known as the Logan School although it did not have that name until 1901. The building was voted in 1878 but was not constructed until ten years later. In 1923 a movement to transfer the eighth grade from the High School to the grade system resulted in the creation of a junior High School in the Logan building. A few years later the present building was constructed. .qlle Centennial Snger 1858-1958 SCI-ICDCDLS Beginning in 1869 the position of Superinten- dent of Schools was established. Since that time there have been seven Superintendents. They are Mr, C. P. Snow 1869-1901, Mr. M. G. Clark 1901-1906, Mr. E. G. Bridgham 1906-1907, Mr, George W. Gaylor 1907-1910, Mr. H. E. Wiiits 1919-1919, Mr. C. B. Smith 1919-1923, and Mr. George O. Smith since 1925. The first Board of Education was elected in 1872. Mr. james S. Eckels was chosen President and Mr. jacob Miller Secretary. Other members of the Board were Mr. john S. Miller, Mr. Peter lfagercrans, Mr. Charles Baldwin, and Mr. R. R. Gibbons. Not until 1892 were there any women members ot the Board. In that year Mrs. Leona Cunningham and Mrs. Elizabeth Davis were elect- ed. lirom then until the present there has always been at least one woman member, The present Board of Education includes Mr. Charles Coll, President, Mr. Perry Trimble, Secretary, Mr. Louis A. Zearing, Dr. F. Highfield, Dr. K. M. Nelson, Mr. joseph Anderson, and Mrs. Beryl Heck. Princeton's outstanding contribution to the edu- cational world was the idea of the township high school. We know that it was the first township high school in the state of Illinois and many edu- cators believe it to be the first of the kind in the United States. The movement for a high school began in the spring of 1866. On April 21 of that year a meet- ing of the citizens was held to discuss the pro- posed high school. Two days later an election was held and the present site was chosen along with a board of three directors. There was no statute in Illinois at the time authorizing the establish- ment of such a type of school so a charter was in- troduced into the State Legislature. By May, 1867 the plans for the building were completed and the following September the school opened with an enrollment of one hundred and thirty students. Much of the success of the new school was due to the fine leadership of Mr. A. L. Boltwood, the first Principal. In 1894 the building was enlarged and re- modeled and again in 1908. The school was grow- ing rapidly and everything running smoothly when on December 15, 1924 the fire broke out and the old school was no more. Classes were held in the City Hall, the Mission and Christian Churches, the Post Office, and the School Annex. Out of the fire, like the Phoenix of fable, arose a new beautiful building of which the community is justly proud. Today the enrollment exceeds four hundred with a faculty of twenty-one. Courses are offered Linder six general groups which are English Lan- guage, English Scientific, General, General Com- mercial, Commercial Stenographic, Vocational Ag- riculture, and Vocational Home Economics. The school is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and has been placed on the accredited list of a large number of eastern schools. Spring is always a time of love- liness on our campus. Lilac Court symbolizes the beauty that pervades the whole. CN C' Jlle Centennial .Jiger 1858-IQ58 CLASS GF 1938 One hundred years ago today an ambitious little unincorporated village replaced what is now known as the city of Princeton. Rather insignifi- cant though sure of importance and growth, it be- gan the steady climb to the top. Four years ago an ambitious little group of incorporated Freshmen took the place of those who are now known as Seniors.'l We, too were rather insignificant but were eager for our ascent to the high crest. Life was new to us and oh so grand! With so many rooms to remember, so many Sophomores to avoid and so many things to look forward to the Freshies began worrying about burning the candle at both ends I Realizing such possible pit-falls the problem of organizing presented itself as a gift bestowed only on these favorite bewildered children. Because of his tower of strength and protective abilities Homer Raker seemed the best head of the house for this huge family. To reign and assist him with such charges Betty Horton was chosen to mother us. Though we seldom heard the minutes Max Kasbeer had unlimited abilities as our secretary to say nothing of the great financier, Walter Neill. Miss Turner and Mr. Lowry were given the honor of being our god parents. The second step of the small village came some- time later when it became an Incorporated Village. Likewise the Freshmen advanced a year to the class of Sophomores, those people who know what its all about and enjoy letting the Freshies know it. With the departure of Miss Turner, Miss Cecile Malsbury moved in step with Mr. Lowry to con- trol the lusty troup and Carolyn McManis received the robe of Presidency with james Tedrow for stooge or in her absence the title of Vice President, Secretary john Swan, a man of affairs, and Jeanne Kasbeer to play with the coins. This year's most important event was the Sopho- more banquet. The theme was the song Beautiful Blue Danube which was sung by our own Shadow Cable and also songs by Margaret Simp- son. Parties seemed gayer and more grown-uppish as we became a year older. Now it was a city with the aldermanic form of government. On and on the village goes with few faltering steps and eyes ever upward. Three years in high school seemed to have made us a bit trying. It seemed we had worn out first Miss Turner and then Miss Malsbury, but now Miss Bell with an I-can-take-it look in her eyes lifts the burden from Mr. Lowry who has had to grin and bear it faithfully these past years. Francis Bouxsein played his master hand at President with john Cable as Vice President, Marjorie Thomas, Secretary, Carolyn McManis, Treasurer. Bringing to the surface our talents the juniors presented in November, 1937, The Whole Town's Talkingl' under guidance of Mr. Frank P. Delay. Thoroughly assured of our position in so- ciety the class dressed formally to attend the junior-Senior Prom, a marked gala occasion. At last it seemed the village had succeeded, for in March it wore its honor and advancement full upon its breast as flags adorned its streets and pride filled its heart. It is now under commis- sion form of government but is still as ambitious as that unincorporated village a hundred years back. So, too, must all good things end and hearts grow heavy as the close draws near. Now we are Seniors and the years have fled since that first September morn in 1934. To lead us this last year we looked to Martha Zearing as President and Dallas Prather as Vice President, Marjorie Thomas Secretary, and Loretta Brown Treasurer. Miss Bell and Mr. Lowry receive our admiring devotion for their faithful and helpful service. The Senior play, The Ghost Flies Southl' was directed by Miss Constance Nicholas and was a success from the minute the curtains opened. Visions of a cap and gown meet our gaze as the last junior-Senior Prom we shall attend passes. The Baccalaureate, and lastly it drifts from a vision to reality as Commencement looms forth. Hearts are fainter, school days sweeter as the classes intermingle, for the Commencement dance. The 'lTiger is published and the days ahead are quite as bewildering as when we took our first Freshmen steps. Fond memories are tied with pink and blue ribbons and laid away to always be re- membered.

Each step we took we blundered more, We never dreamed of attaining The confidence the Sophies had, But their fame was waning. Our class advisers, we were told, Would help us with election. Mrs. Mayeur and Mr. Fleming Were in our eyes-perfection. Our president was Harry A very popular boy. janet served as treasurer, Vice President was Roy. Marlowe was the secretary With plenty of work to do. For our cheer leaders we chose Bob, And Pheobe Nichols, too. We had parties and lots of fun We increased our knowledge-some, And waited very impatiently For our first reports to come. The green look vanished from our face, Our steps became more firm, And we looked forward eagerly To being Sophies next term. We Sophies came-with heads held up, And proudly took our places. Our school mates saw the lofty scorn Which belongs to Sophies faces. This time we had no trouble, at all, In conducting our election, We forgot that we had ever had That pale pea-green complexion. .QM Bobby M. was president With Dexter close behind. He easily became the Vice, He had a learned mind. Our treasurer and secretary Were Lucian P. and jane, Cheer leader-Supreme-His second year, Bob Miller continued his reign. That year our social life increased, We subscribed for our class rings, We greatly enlarged our little store Of knowledge that schooling brings. Our Sophomore banquet was unique, The Coronation was the theme. The actors acted well their parts, But the Jester was a scream. We juniors came-with sprightly step, We jolly well knew our places. We kindly helped the Freshmen in, Benevolence on our faces. Election was conducted easily, President was Dexter N., Vice became Marlowe Morgan, SecretaryAVirginiafthen. Treasurer is Janet Wickey, She has a capable brain. And again, for cheer leader, Bob Miller, Supreme-this yearfdoth reign. Our junior class play was a comedy, Its title was Tons of Money. And we let out our cooped in spirits In a genuine little kids party. To the Prom we are now looking forward We'll enjoy ourselves all, we know.

Though the weather is fine, many are beginning to think of the storms that are to come. Everyone had a queer feeling today when it was discovered that we had no crew. Im- mediately a meeting was called, and jack Staples was chosen captain, with Ronald Anderson as his first mate. james Postle- waite was elected to the post of Sparks, and Marie Olson now carries the key to the safe. Investigation of a queer noise tonight re- vealed jack Tompkins crooning a lullaby. His enchanting voice is the very one to lead our chats. OCTOBER Two sailorettes, Adela Gibbs and Mary Trimble, tied for fourth place in a humor- ous reading contest with S. S. Geneseo and S. S. Mendota. NOVEMBER The ships doctor, Mr. Ewart, and the Pilot, Miss Graham, declared today a holi- day. We anchored in Shanghai where we had chop suey without chop sticks. Stewardess Mayeur's cabin 105 defeated all other contestants in the magazine sale contest. This energetic cabin also won the football and basketball ticket sale. DECEMBER Today two hardy tars, Kenneth Nelson and George Vane, continued the battle with S. S. Geneseo and S. S. Mendota. They cap- tured third and fifth places in an orator- ical contest. MAY 1937 The strange malady affecting certain peo- ple on board was diagnosed today by Dr. Ewart as spring fever. Sulphur and molas- ses was ordered from the galley. JUNE -We have finished the first lap of our long voyage. As we sailed into the harbor, we thought of the months until our next sail- ing. It seems so far away. SEPTEMBER -Although the air is crisp, the sun is warm. just an ideal day for the S. S. 1940 to sail. There are ninety-seven sophomores aboard. ' 14 22 16 -We are no longer in need of officers. A meeting on deck ended with Robert Duf- field as captain and Robert Schoenberger as mate. Alfreda Larsen qualified as Sparks, and the key to the safe is guard- ed by Joyce johnson. Dr. Ewart and Pilot Graham are both back at work at their 'old posts. Although small in stature, Dick Kipp is mighty in voice. It was this that won him his place as chant leader. NOVEMBER We dropped anchor this evening in Cafe- terialand to attend a barn dance. The at- mosphere was quite rustic even if the horse collar wouldn't stay on the wall. DECEMBER There is a Princeton Navy Champion aboard. Sailorette Mary Trimble won the title of champion ping-pong player among all other sailorettes of the Princeton Navy. FEBRUARY 1938 9-Tonight station P R I N broadcast an 3 14 ocean-to-ocean program from Club Valen- tine of the S. S. 1940 .Among those pres- ent were several well known screen stars. The floor show was ably handled by the celebrated M. C., jack Tompkins, who has risen from a crooner in just one year. Schoenes Swingsters were engaged to play, at a great expense to us, for the dance that followed. APRIL -From the county meet of Latin sailors on board S. S. LaSalle, Sailor George Vane brought back the first prize for second year Latin sailors for our navy. MAY -We went ashore on Melody Isle this ev- ening to attend the Sophomore Symphone to be held in our honor. Everywhere we looked we saw music. Notes floated from the ceiling and clung to the walls. Saxa- phones, drums, and other instruments met the eye from every nook and cranny. The musical menues caused much curiosity and anxiety. The musical floor show was fol- lowed by dancing. How glad all the sailors and sailorettes were that, tomorrow being Sunday, on one would not have to arise at five to scrub decks. JUNE 10-The second lap of our voyage is completed. In just two years we shall be entering Commencement Haven. -JANE COLL it as KW, 31'- Wil! v- 54 , 'Ta' ,I fwvt A A as ,A FIRST SOPHOMORE PICTURE Top Row-Iileanor Brunsbure, Richard Berlin, Gladys Anderson, Melvin Herholsheimer, Miltlretl Iitkstrom, Gloria Gootlale, Robert Duftieltl, Alice Ferrell, Viola Funtlell, Second Row-B.irh.ir.i Clotltelter, Betty Bartlum, Dick Henry, Delight Fundell, joe Cain, Allele Gibbs, Donald Hassler, Izdith Dean, Whiyne Hanson, lithel Anderson.

H. S. army gathered its legions about it on September 7, 1937, 96 rookies joined forces and enlisted for service under the Freshman banner. The forces lined up in combat formation. Before them were the same who had caused the downfall of many a brave soldier in former years as he fought to uphold the honor of the Freshman di- vision. The names of Latin, English, Science and Biology were indeed such as would make even the boldest shudder and turn pale as he remember- ed many a tale he had heard of their treachery and terrors. However the Freshmen soon learned that they could make these formidable enemies bow hum- bly before them if they followed the instructions of their superior officers under the leadership of Commander-in-chief Shaffer. The confident, determined look on the faces of Officers Lund, Bell, Ashdown, Berry and Gra- ham gave courage to the newly formed division, and they immediately began making plans for overcoming their adversaries. A meeting was held to elect officers from their ranks, who would be capable of handling the business, financial and social of the Freshmen group. The selections made were for Bill Smith as captain, Earl Angle second in command, Carol Stevens treasurer, and Bonnie Lou Monroe seceretary. Every six weeks after a period of training, the officers in command led the Freshmen ranks in an attack on the enemy line. Some came through with flying colors, others came limping feebly in, while first aid had to be rushed in, by their superior officers, to a few fallen ones in order to get them back in the ranks. Twice during the term of serv- ice a more serious encounter took place on Semester Field. At this time residents nearby were disturbed by moans of the struggling warriors as they battled for victory. These final engagements decided whether the company would be promoted to the Sophomore division when the bugles called the P. H. S. forces together in the fall. This group of Freshmen is one of the most outstanding ever enrolled under the blue and gray of P. H. S. to quote Officer Berry. Cadet Fred Heck placed third in the boys extempore speak- ing contest of March 10 while Captain Bill Smith attained the high honor of receiving his letter for distinguished football service, in his Freshman year. As an example of their courage and bravery, four cadets stayed by their guns during the debate season on unicameralism. These valiant souls were Cadets Heck, Elliot, Winslow and Robb, where determined faces lend dignity to the picture of the debate team. Squad No. 106 under Officer Berry went on a successful skirmish and captured the honor of sell- ing the largest number of tickets to the Athletic Association Benefit held on April 1. When off duty the Freshmen division entered into various types of athletics and social activities with the same enthusiasm as shown in the more serious side of the service. Officer Bell believes this is the peppiest division over which she has had charge. There were threats of mutiny within the ranks as the term of enlistment grew to a close but this was cleverly averted by Commander-in-chief Shaffer who declared a ten day furlow for the en- tire army. The Freshmen returned to the ranks in splendid form, and were able to win the last strug- gle of the term on Semester Field. The hope of each cadet is to serve the entire term of enlistment until he marches through the triumphal arch of commencement and takes by storm the proud city of achievement. fGr.oR1A C.

Following the example of the city the school, too, has its full share of activities designed to give every student some outlet for his or her social being. At the time of its incorporation as a town the little village boasted four churches. The old- est of these was the Hampshire Colony Con- gregational Church which had been organized in Northampton, Massachusetts in March, 1831. At this time it had a membership of eighteen. Of this group three had been sent in advance to find a satisfactory location for the colony. Two months later the colony started reaching Bureau County on july 4. The first formal meeting of the Church was held on October 20, 1831 at the home of Elijah Smith who lived north of Princeton. By 1833 they secured a pas- tor, the Rev. Lucien Farnham. After that the Church grew rapidly and in 1855 a meeting- house was built, the lower story of which was used for a time as a school house. The second church to be established was the Methodist Episcopal. At first it was a part of the Peoria Mission under the supervision of Rev. Zaddock Hall. At this time meetings were THREE held at the home of joseph Smith, who lived north of Princeton along Bureau Creek. Later the Peoria Mission was divided and the Metho- dist Church was placed under the Ottawa Mis- sion. In 1834 another division was made and the Bureau Mission established. In 1836, a Rev. Denning was appointed to take charge of the Princeton Church. Meetings at this time were held either in the home of Abraham jones who lived northwest of Princeton or at the Deming home in Princeton. As early as 1836 an attempt was made to construct a building but it was not until 1838 that a building was erected. The Baptist Church was the third to appear in Princeton. It was organized in 1836 and met in the homes of its members until 1844 when its first building was erected. After the com- pletion of the building its membersihp increased and continued to serve the community. The fourth church to come into being before the incorporation of Princeton was the Presbyterian Church. In October, 1837 twenty-four members of the Hampshire Colony Church withdrew and formed what was then known as the Second Congregational Church. At first they met in a store building but soon erected a wooden building on the site of the present Church. In 1846 the name was changed from Second Congregational to the First Presbyterian. In 1856 a brick building was erected. This building was de- stroyed by fire in 1936 but was rebuilt using three of the original walls. After its incorporation other churches grew up. Those still in existence are the Christian Church 1840 Mission Covenant 1871, Roman Catholic 1865, St Matthews Lutheran 1858, St. johns Lutheran 1864 a 1 The Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1832, and first met in the home of one of its members. glue Centennial ,cnger 1858-15238 ORGANIZATIONS First Lutheran 1871, and Christian Science 1905. Others were organized and later dis- banded. Among this group were the African Methodist Episcopal 1861, The Methodist Protestant 1857, the Swedish Baptist 1877, Swedish Evangelical 1871, German Evangelical 1856, and the Redeemers Church 1856. As the interests of the town increased other organizations came into existence. Among the earliest were the Masonic Orders, the Friends- in-Council, Princeton Literary Club, Chautau- qua Circle, and the Princeton Academy of Sci- ence. Later the Woman's Club was formed and still later the men's service clubs, Rotary in 1920 and Lions in 1926. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Campfire Girls have had their ups and downs. Another form of organization which has a pro- found influence on any community is that of the press. The first newspaper to be published was the Bureau County Advocate, a six column folio, established in December, 1847. It contained spate for all political groups and proved a worthy outlet for expression of public opinion. This policy of giving all parties space disappeared after a few months and the paper took on a more partisan tone. In 1851 its name was changed to the Prince- tonian and in 1858 it became known as the Bureau County Republican. A second newspaper was established in 18118. This was the Bureau County Herald but its edi- torial policy made it unpopular and it soon re- In 1836 the Baptist Church came into existence. It has served the community well during its first century. Destroyed by fire two years ago the Presbyterian Church has been rebuilt using three of the original walls of the first brick church. moved to Kewanee. ln 1856 the Bureau County Democrat was started. It was strongly democratic as its name suggests and this provided for the ex- pression of the views of both political parties. This paper had a varied career selling from one group to another, changing its name first to The Bureau County Patriot, and then to Bureau County Herald, and finally in 1856 being sold at auction. Two other newspapers the Bureau County News, later called the Bureau County Record, and the Bureau County Tribune were established. Time was when the High School boasted few organizations. A debating society or a Literary Club was all that it could boast. As late as 1907 we find the only organizations to be The Blue and Gray Publishing Board which published a small newspaper, an Orchestra, and the Staff of the P. H. S. Annual. Magazines, newspapers, and annuals has their ups and downs until 1924 when the Tiger came into being. ln the pre- world war days a Glee Club and a German Club were added to the activities. After the war one club after another arose to meet the new program of extra-curricular activities. Even a glance at the section of the book to come will convince the reader that there is a wide range of organizations in the school today. Each has its place in the life of the student body. No one student can participate in them all but each stu- dent can find among them something in which he may fit into his program. 2 8 1858-1958 glze Centennial ,cnger 1858-193 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY BACK ROW: Clifford Hayden, Cleewell Dut- tield, Madge McPherson, Carolyn McManis, Dorothy Skinner, Helen Noren.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY It is not possible for just anyone, high or low scholastically, good or poor character, to become a member of this honor society. Only five per cent of the juniors and fifteen per cent of the senior class are eligible to membership each year. You must be in the upper third of your class in scholarship before you have any chance to be nominated. The nominations are also based on leadership, character, and service. The students vote on the possible nominees and the faculty make the final decision. NATIONAL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY Any fellow that is a member of this society must have won a major letter in any one of the major sports of the school. He must also have grades that are above the average of the entire school for the three preceeding semesters. The purpose of the society is to encourage scholarship and clean athletics. A CLUB The students that have at least four A's for the semester grade are in the A club picture. This club does not hold meetings during the year but is purely an honor group. The members of this club receive rec- ognition in several ways, QU local weekly papers Q21 nearby daily papers OJ through the Home Room My and at an assembly. The seniors have lead the honor rolls this year. NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE The debate teams under the direction of Mr. Lund have taken part in many debates. They went to the Tournament at Augustana College this spring where they made a very credit- able showing, especially when one realizes that for most ot them it was their first experience in debating. Degrees earned by the debaters in the National Forensic League are awarded upon the basis of points earned. james Tedrow has received the degre of Distinction, Kenneth Nel- son and Milton Searl the degree of Honor, Gloria Winslow, Charlotte Coggins, Fred Heck, Dexter Nelson and Donald Roberts the degree of Merit.

For girls just entering high school, it is an excellent way of getting acquainted, and for those of us who are leaving, it lends a hand in helping us decide what to do next. - The programs this year have not only been interesting to all of us but extremely helpful. Of the many programs I shall tell only a few. Mrs. Karl Nelson spoke to us on the advanced place of girls in China. Miss Jean Palmer gave an interesting talk on the religious camps and the openings for girls in them. There were many more equally interesting and helpful programs, all well chosen as an aid in giving us a broader out- look of what the future might provide. JUNIOR H1-TRI The juniors after having elected Marjorie Warling as President, Lillian Thompson, Vice President: Frances Niena- ber, secretary and treasurer, agreed to follow the same form of entertainment as the sophomores. Their topic for the year has been Girl of T0ddJ'ZlV707lld7I of T0ll10I'l'01lf' by Hunt. They also have done their part in sponsoring successful Twilight Matinees. SOPHOMORE HI-TRI The sophomores met again this year ready for another in- teresting year in Hi-Trifand I am sure they were not dis- appointed. They elected Marjorie Fendelman as their presi- dent, Marie Olson secretary, Jane Coll as reporter. They have had especially interesting program this year. At each meeting a girl selected by Miss Ashdown made a re- port from Sophia Hadia's book, Mamzerr for Millions. The Sophies have also been active in sponsoring Twi- light Matinees. They have also participated equally as willing- ly in the Matinees sponsored by other classes. FRESHMAN HI-TRI Hi-Tri is an entirely new organization to the freshmen, but they have entered both in the more serious aspect and the social life of Hi-Tri with an excellent spirit. Their most outstanding activity was the Twilight Matinee which they sponsored entirely on their own. This was a very successful undertaking and gave their fellow students an idea of what might be expected of them in their future years in Princeton. Janet Robb as mistress of ceremonies introduced Barbara Heck as soloist. Carol Stevens whistled a novelty number and the Westman sisters trio sang a group of cowboy songs. The program was topped off by dancing, with everyone included. C51 .Cine Centennial .liger 1838-IQ58 BAND UNO, we have had no visitors from West Point this morn- ing. You say you saw cadets milling around the west entrance in smart looking blue coats with gold braid and gray trousers? Pardon me, but did they have a drum major dressed equally smart in white whipcord, blue coat, and a blue cape with satin lining? As the answer was in the affirmative I fairly burst with pride, They were not West Point cadets, but the P. T. H. S. Band. Our band deserves our praise not only because of their uniforms, but also because ot their excellent work. They entered the State District contest and came through with flying colors. The band placed in second division and two of the soloists, Bob Miller, and Dexter Nelson placed in first division. Not a little of our praise goes to Mr. Lowry as director and Mary Trimble who comes in for her share of the honors as drum major. ORCHESTRA Under the excellent direction of Miss Donnabelle Fry, the orchestra meets every:second clay to practice diligentlyffor their many engagements. Due to their high standing in P. T. H. S. they are booked from season to season by that organization. They play exclu- sively for all class plays, baccalaureate, and commencement exercises. Therefore our thanks to Maestro Fry and all the lads and Iassies for their excellent service. BOYS' CHORUS Will all boys interested in boys' chorus please leave their names with me before Friday. This was an announcement made by Miss Fry soon after school started on the weekly bulletin. With the help of a rummage sale the boys were able to pay for their new robes and also the transportation to the State District Contest at DeKalb. They also took part in the Triangular contest with Geneseo and Mendota and in the County contest. They also sang at Open House, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. No doubt they will continue to practice as individuals during the summer. GIRLS' CHORUS In years past the chorus has brought many honors to the school, not only in their contest work, but also as they have added their voices to the commencement and baccalaureate exercises. This year the chorus has been up to par so far as home ac- tivities are concerned, but as they have still to compete in their contest work we wish them success.

MIXED CHORUS Boys and girls singing joyfully together equals the mixed chorus. Four part music with the basses booming out on the low notes, the Sopranos adding their share, followed by the altos and tenors, and then all together in full harmony, makes singing fun. In addition to the fun there is an opportunity for service. The singing of carols in the annual Christmas Concert, per- haps a chance to sing for the patrons of the school at Open House, and always a part in Baccalaureate and Commence- ment. Yes, chorus is fun! LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Les Officiers: President .......... ..... M arjorie Thomas V ice Prerldefzl ..... ...... j eanne Kasbeer Treamrier ......... ,....,.......

Carolyn McManis This year the French Club has held several meeting dur- ing class and has had several meetings at the homes of mem- bers. The object of the club is to create interest in French, use French, and learn France and her activities, at the same time the idea of entertainment and fun is not overlooked. Gene Connolly and jean McKenna had the first meeting of the year at their home last fall. Martha Zearing had a Chribt- mas supper and party for the club and the members of the first year class, and a Mardi Gras supper was held at the school on March 1. One class meeting was devoted to the discussion of French foods and French cooking, it is hoped that we will have more than a vague idea of what we shall get when ordering from a menu printed all in French. Although the club has not done all that it set out to accomplish, the few meetings that have been held have been worth while. SOCIETAS LATINA The Latin Club is an organization to which' second year Latin students are eligible. In the regular meetings on alternate Fridays, papers on Roman life, art, and literature are read, and amusing, yet instructive games are played. The social meetings are held in the evening in the school house or at the home of some member. The slogan, Once a member, always a member, is substantially expressed at the initiation cere- monies and the annual picnic. Rosraa 1937-8 Prinzrrr Consul ........................................

The Triangular Contest between Mendota, Geneseo, and Princeton, was held at Mendota. Although the teams did not win they made a very good showing. They also took part in the Augus- tana Invitational Tournament, the Mendota Tournament, and the Hinsdale Tournament. The last two were non-decision tournaments. They also took part in several practice debates with nearby schools. .gfie eniennial ,C-Dyer 1858-1958 HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics School one of the most popular clubs in school is also one of the most active organizations. Membership in the club is open to all girls who are in- terested in home-making activities. The club sent two members to the State Convention. Other activities include serving hot lunches during the cold weather, selling candy, serving of banquets for various organizations, and the discussion of timely problems at their regular meetings. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Pest Contests! Father and Sons Banquet! Orations! Basket- ball games! These are only some of the activities the club mem- bers take part in. The second annual Father and Sons' Ban- quet was a real success. The boys and their dads turned out nearly one hundred per cent for this grand dinner. Bill Bone from Peoria was the main speaker. Russell Carter led the pest eradicators with more than four thousand points. More power to you, Farmers! SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club is made up of all those who are enrolled in Physics or Chemistry classes who care to join. This spring they sponsored a trip to Chicago in which many places of in- terest were visited. Reverend Lemke talked at several meet- ings on spiritualism. CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club, although a comparatively new one, has been doing many things. At the beginning of the year they chose the able Dexter Nelson as president, Donald Diller as secretary, and Ted Heck as handler of the monies. The club sponsored a Scenario contest during the year. A scenario written by Carolyn McManis, Ted Heck, and Dexter Nelson won the contest. When this is produced I am sure that everyone will want to see it. During the year they have learned to take and develop better pictures of their own. This club is in connection with the Science department and is under the supervision of Mr. Mortensen.

MORE and more cities are beginning to re- alize that the recreational life plays a large part in the everyday routine of its citizens. Time was when pioneers were too much occupied in building up their small villages to give much thought to recreation. But times change and to- day a progressive city must think of the play life of its residents. Princeton to many people whose life consists of seeking for a thrill may at times seem dull. But to others there are too many things occur- ing at the same time to make participation in all possible. During the school year the school provides a varied program of recreation. For the student who likes athletics there are the athletic teams for the boys, G. A. A. for the girls, tennis for both, and intramural contests in sports of all kinds. For those who do not participate in the sports there is always the spectators' enjoyment. Clubs of all sorts offer opportunities for the creation of hobbies, and even class projects lend themselves to application of hobbies. Band, orchestra, and the choruses offer an outlet for musical talent. Class plays, one-act plays and contests are there for those who enjoy dramatics. And parties with games, dancing, and friendly get-togethers help to develop the social side of our natures. FQUR To some people recreation suggests doing some- thing in the out of doors . . . skating in winter, swimming in summer, or participating in some out door sport. To others it means going to see a movie or sitting down with a good book in one's hand and a bowl of popcorn nearby. To still others it may mean the pursuance of one's hobby. What- ever it means it spells change from the humdrum tasks and a chance to iron out the kinks that all too often get into the life of a busy individual. No matter what one's notion of recreation may be, Princeton offers a wide variety and each should be able to find something that makes an appeal to him. just west of Princeton is Alexander Park with its picnic grounds and swimming pool. Under the The Apollo Theatre provides entertainment in the form of movies. Here we see all our favorite stars. supervision of Miss Eunice Batson, for a number of 'summers instruction in swimming has been given at such reasonable rates that a large majority of the young people have become accomplished in that art. For years Bryant's Woods, Lime Rock, the Red Covered Bridge, and Second High Banks were the only picnic grounds. Then Alexander Park offered an additional place for frolic. In the last few years the County-City Park, north of town, has been a favorite gathering place for the picnics of school organizations. The first theatre in Princeton was Patterson Hall, located where the Masonic building now stands. Here were held the Commencement exer- C' CP' ,file Centennial .Jiger 1838-IQ38 RECREATION cises of the high school when the school chapel was unable to hold all those who attended. The Apollo Theatre was next, and for years offered the only dramatic programs for the commounity- a lyceum course and programs by stock companies at the time of the Bureau County Fair. Today the Apollo provides entertainment as well as educa- tion. The manager, Harold Larson, is a graduate of the school, His interest is manifest by the co- operation with the school in regard to matinees, the furnishing of the Photo Reporters and the March of Time programs. For years the annual Alumni Dance was held at the Apollo. Late in the pre-World War period the State Theatre was erected. This was the first movie theatre in Prince- ton. Only silent movies were presented since at this time the talkie had not yet been invented. iQ-ea, The Bureau Valley Country Club opens its doors to us for the junior-Senior Prom. The Bureau Valley Country Club, located south or Princeton provides a lovely setting for the annual junior-Senior Prom. Students and faculty also enjoy its recreational facilities es- pecially in the golf season. The Indian Hills Golf Club, successor to the Elms, has offered its facilities for golf instruction for the students. With such resources Princeton should turn out some real golfers. One of the loveliest buildings in Princeton is the Matson Public Library. It is considered one of the best equipped libraries in the state for a city of this size. The present building, erected in 1913, was made possible by the gift of Nehemiah Matson. Mr. Matson was one of Prince- ton's early settlers. He was especially interested in local history and is the author of several books dealing with the history of Illinois and Bureau County. His books, while not outstanding as litera ature, are noted for their historical accuracy. Pre- vious to that time the library was located on Main Street in a building now known as the H. A. Clark building. It was very small and inadequate. As the needs of the community grew the Library in- creased the number of its volumes until it outgrew its original home. Even the new building could not meet the full needs of the citizens. A branch library at the north end of town makes reading available to the citizens who reside in that area. The libra- rians have always cooperated with the school and the students have found a wealth of material for their book reports, outside reading, oral topics, and other school needs. But more than that, they have learned to find good books an aid to recreation and relaxation. Witliin the last few years a new aid to recre- ation has found a place in the life of Princeton. This is the Bureau County Civic League. It not only offers entertainment but brings to us peo- ple who have made a place in national and world affairs. Among these have been Admiral Byrd, Amelia Earhart, Mrs. Osa johnson, and Cornelia Otis Skinner. Radio entertainers like the Northerners and Ennio Bolognini have also added much to the program. Y 1 e Matson Public Library has books that appeal to all types of readers. .qlle Cienienniaf ,cnger 1858-1Q58 FOOTBALL SEASON' Princeton ,,,,, ,.,. . ..

O Princeton Gridders opened their season under rather doubtful circumstances when they faced Wzllnut as their first opponent. Glenn Martin, our new coach, was using a different style of play than that used by our previous coach and the boys were not as yet used to it. There was also a lot of unseasoned material used in this game for many of last year's team had graduated in the spring. How- ever the boys came through in true Tiger style and sent the Little Eight' favorites home with a 12 to o defeat. After the Wzilntrt game the Tigers were host to Wethersfieltl. In the first few minutes of play Wethersfield scored on an 80 yard run. This would have defeated most teams but the Tigers came back and scored on Wethersfield in the first quarter. Buchaus was high point man with two scores and Neil was next with a score and a kick which totaled I9 to 6 in Princeton's favor. In the traditional game between Princeton and Kewanee, the Tigers lost to the Boilermakers 20 to 7. The Tigers fought a hard game but Kewanee seemed to be superior because of heavier men, bet- ter reserves, and better developed passing offense. Witli the sting of defeat still fresh in their memories, a scrappy Tiger team distinctly outplay- ed their rivals in every respect in what turned out to be a rather dull game at DePue. The game was marred from start to finish by penalties and rough playing. The second half was merely two quarters of the dull formality of playing out the game, neither team making any serious scoring threats. Princeton High need never feel anything but proud of their football team if they always show the fine fight and spirit displayed against odds in the Ottawa game. The Princeton line, outweighed twenty pounds per man, but inspired by the un- tiring efforts of Captain Freeburg, Center Boux- sein, and Tackle Bob Duffield, really showed what kind of stuff they had in them. Buchaus, playing with an injured shoulder, was equally as brilliant S RECORD Walntit ....................... ......... 0 Wethei'sfield ........ .... .... 6 Kewanee ........... ......... 2 O DePue ...... ......... 0 Ottawa ...... ......... 0 Manlius 6 Mendota .. . 7 ' Geneseo .. .. ......... .. ............... .... ..... . . 7 in the backfield, and pulled Princeton out of a good many hotspots with his pass interceptions. Although unable to score, the Tigers as a team, played their best game of the year and in so doing held the highly rated Glassmakers to a scoreless tie. On a blustery afternoon, Abe's Tigers went to Manlius for a game with the Little Eight foe. The Tigers outweighed their foe but Manlius played a good game and was the only member of the little eight conference to make a score on Princeton. The 7 to 6 defeat handed to the team by Men' dota's power house was actually heart-breaking. Our team played a whale of a game, but our scrappy line was just too weak to stop the many power plays of the heavier Mendota team. Our touchdown was made in the first period when Roberts took the ball, started wide around end, then cut back and lateraled to Neil, who raced 56 yards behind Roberts blocking for the touchdown. Then came the tragedy of tragedies, the attempted place kick for point was wide. The rest of the game was a nightware to watch, with the heavy Mendota team threatening often, and our men, desperately weakened, just barely able to hold them back. In the last game of the season the Tigers were considerably handicapped because Buchaus and Roberts were out of the backfield. It also seemed that the breaks were slightly against Princeton. The Tigers were on the march for the goal several times but the periods ended before they could be completed. Geneseo tallied their points in the third quarter when they blocked a punt and completed a long pass. Princeton was defeated but they play- ed a good game in spite of the reserves who were not used to playing in the first team line-up. The boys who received letters are: Carl Bergin, Bob Duffield, Charles Moline, Francis Bouxsin, Billy Freeburg, Dale Duffield, Melvin Burrows, Walter Neil, Ray Fox, Dale Roberts, Roy Buchaus, and Cleewell Duffield. Minor awards were given to Earl Angle, Kent Smith, and john Bergin. 858-1938 FOOTBALL SQUAD Top Row: Paul Hililclwrgxml, Cl11ll'lt'S Smith, Clecwcll Duffield, Artlini' Nelson, Miles Filricll, Mr. Ewiirt, Mr. Martin, Mr. XVcrlwluw, Dick I.g11'sim, lim Monicig Dick Nickclscn, Dick Kopp. Middle Rnwvliurl Anglc, Wfilhiii' Pierson, ,lulm Bcrgin, jmck Tompkins, Kcnt Smith, Bill Smith, Teil Heck, Dick Hnrtun, Clayton Sliipp, Bill Horton.

Only one other team in the history of the school has gone farther. In the first game the Princeton Tigers beat the Wyanet quintet 16 to 10. The Bengals went to Walnut and captured another victory. Princeton was host to Ottawa in the third game and the Tigers lost 18 to 34. Am- boy visited our gym and came through with a vic- tory ot 29 to 13. Martins quintet seemed working smoother now than at the beginning and the local boys defeated Wethersfields Flying Geese 28-20. New Year's Day brought back the former grads who proved themselves too strong for the High School team. After Christmas vacation the Tigers had another victory! They came back to their home floor and history repeated itself as they defeated the Wyanet five 30 to 11. Hall sent its fighting squad to Princeton for a victory but they did not have the power to get it. Princeton went to Wethersfield for the second game with the Flying Geese which proved fatal and Princeton lost 30-32. Princeton received an- other setback when Geneseo visited our gym. Al- though they were defeated they showed excellent skill in handling the ball which kept the other team guessing. DePue was host to Princeton and they slipped a 251 to 15 victory over the Princeton quintet. Princeton had suffered three defeats in a row, and the County Tournament was due. This did not hold the Tigers back a bit. They defeated Manlius 33 to 32 and then defeated DePue 30 to 21 and then overran the big Tiskilwa boys 30 to 20. How- ever the smaller, wiry Buda team nipped them 32 to 28 and the Tigers were forced to be satisfied with the second place trophy. The boys were too tired out after the hard games of the county tournament to immediately meet the strong Kewanee team with any success. Geneseo also was again able to overcome the Tiger outfit. On our home floor the fast Dixon team easily out scored the home boys. Princeton resumed the role of victor again when she defeat- ed the Mendota team and avenged the defeat suf- fered at their hands during the football season. Dixon again proved superior and outpointed Princeton 34 to 19 this time. The Princeton lads beat Manlius 38 to 19. Princeton had, in early season, met defeat when they visited the DePue gym, so when the DePue ssuad came to Princeton the Tiger team thought it fair that they too should go home defeated. Prince- ton's team seemed to have remedied its early sea- son mistakes for they were also able to outscore the boys from Amboy when they met the second time. The last scheduled game of the season was played at Hall, and the team played a fine game in edgnig away with a two point margin of victory. Princeton's first tangle in the Regional meet played in our gym, was perhaps their toughest of the tournament. They met the highly rated Wy- oming team and in an exciting game both held each other to low scores. The Princeton boys made a final comeback to defeat the opposition 16 to 13. Then they proceeded to whip Hall again and this brought them up against a very good Walnut team which gave them a great deal of trouble be- fore yielding the tournament to Princeton. .gfze Centennial ,cnger 1858-IQ38 TRACK TEAM1937 The 1937 season ushered in an innovation in track with the introduction of night track meets. This was made possible by the use of the reflectors purchased for the football season. The first meet was the one between Dixon, LaSalle-Peru, and Princeton who finished in the order named. A second meet, originally scheduled as the season's opener, was postponed until May 11. Competition in this meet was between Ottawa, Mendota, De- Pue, and Princeton. The meet was won by Ottawa. Dual meets were held with Mendota and Sterling. The Princeton boys also took part in the Geneseo relays and the state district meet at LaSalle. The crowning achievement of the entire track season was the winning of the County meet. After a period of twenty years during which time the Princeton team had been unable to win the Annual County Meet, the victory of the team in 1936 was a spur to do it again. Accordingly the boys got busy and won the 1937 meet. Poinf winners were Curtis Conant, jack Dawson, and Dick Paschen. TNTRAMURALS The school's intramural program was begun when Lyle Gildermaster won the tennis tourna- ment shortly after school started. A bicycle cross-country race was planned for November, but the weather made it necessary to postpone it until spring. It was finally held in April and won by Roger Walstrom. December's event was a checker tournament. After many dif- ficult games Glenn Allen won the championship. january saw some fast boxing bouts of which there were eight weight divisions-the divisions and their champs are: junior flyweight, under 100 pounds-Harold Steele.

TENNIS The State District Tennis Tournament was held in Princeton in 1937. Princeton won the District Meet but lost the first games in the state compe- jack Vickrey, senior ace, won the ping pong tournament which was also held in january and early part of February. The first week of February was the time sched- uled for the wrestling matches. The following won in their weight divisions: Flyweight-Harold Steele. Bantamweight-Ray Vetter. FeatherweightfGlenn Allen. Welterweiglit-Ted Heck. Middleweight4Bob Piper. Lightweight---Kent Smith. HeavyweightwDale Duffield. During February a home room basketball tourn- ament was held. Several good teams were uncov- ered but Room 209 tinally carried off top honors. Following this there was a free throw tourna- ment carried on during the home room periods. Lyle Gildermaster won making 17 out of a possi- ble 25 throws. 1937 tition.

A., Girls' Athletic Association, is an old institution in the Princeton Township High School. It is a state organization with constitution, statutes, and certain governing laws which all chap- ters must abide by. For the last three years it has been under the sponsorship of Miss Margaret Bell, the sophomore English teacher and the girls' gym- nasium instructor. An election was held last spring to choose the officers and sports managers for the year 1937 to 1938. jane Walker, a junior, was voted in as president, Ida jane Brooks, a senior, vice president, Doris Battin, a junior, secretary and treasurer. Shortly after the beginning of the year jane Walker moved away and Ida jane who was experienced, having been president the pre- vious year, assumed the presidency. Mostly through the combined efforts of Ida jane and Miss Bell and an enthusiastic group of freshmen, the G. A. A. has been more active this year than in several previous years. The sports managers elected were: basketball, Lillian Thompson, baseball, Marjorie Snell, tennis and ping pong, Carolyn McManis, volleyball, Bernice Sergeant, and hikes, Hazel Brutcher. It is the duty of these managers to ar- range practices dates and to keep track of the number of points each G. A. A. members earns while participating in her particular sport. In the late fall Princeton was host to eight schools in this district at a state playday, lasting from nine o'clock in the morning until two o'clock in the afternoon. It started with mixing games and relays, followed by a basketball tourn- ament between teams chosen by lot. The theme of the day was I-Iallowe'en. Ping pong was played by the girls while their teams were not playing bask- etball. Everyone took her own lunch and the Princeton G. A. A. furnished chocolate milk and ice cream bars. After lunch there was dancing in the cafeteria and by two-thirty nearly everyone had started home, having had a very pleasant day. The girls' tennis tournament sponsored by the G. A. A. played last winter, was won by Mary Trimble, a sophomore, who defeated Ida jane Brooks in the final game. Many members won points for G. A. A. letters by taking part in eight or more volleyball practices and also in eight or more basketball and baseball practices. The girls' interclass basketball tournament was put on by the G. A. A. and most of those playing were G. A. A. members. Every class entered one team with the exception of the freshmen who entered two teams. The final game was played between the seniors and the juniors-and the juniors won. The fresh- men teams combined were given the sportsman- ship award, which was the opportunity to com- pete with the women's faculty team at the Athletic Benefit. This year again, as is the custom, the County Basketball Tournament was held at Prince- ton, and the Girls' Athletic Association decorated the gymnasium with pennants and name plates. In the spring hiking was resumed from where it left off last fall, and if a member walked far enough needlessly she earned several more points. This spring an innovation into the regular curricu- lum of the G. A. A. activities was the introduction of golf instruction given by two high school ex- perts in the game, Ellsworth Loberg and Bob White. In early spring it was given in the cafeteria of the school and later during the nicer weather, for safety's and pleasure's sake, the class was re- moved to the city golf course. This year saw the largest group of participants in baseball that has been seen for many years. During the last few weeks of school there was the girls' spring tennis tournament, again sponsored by the G. A. A. The girls were matched according to their ability and the elimination type tourna- ment was played. At Open House on May 6 the girls gave a demonstration of stunts and an exhi- bition basketball game was played between the juniors and the seniors. In April and May several Princeton girls were representatives of this school in playdays at Tiskilwa and at Manlius. The entire spring G. A. A. calendar was full with baseball on Monday and Thursday, tap dancing Tuesday and Friday, and golf on Wednesday. Besides their sport activities the G. A. A. has had parties throughout the year, and in March it carried on an informal initiation consisting chiefly of an attempt to make the initiates ridiculous and self-conscious by the use of signs, etc. This friv- olous part of becoming a G. A. A. member was followed by an impressive candlelight ceremony. This year Ida jane Brooks, by earning enough points, won the highest G. A. A. award given, an emblem map of the state of Illinois. This is the first time within the last five years that a Prince- ton girl has won this award. Besides Ida jane there was a large number of other girls winning numerals the first award given P's standing for Princeton, the next award given and, and I's signifying Illinois G. A. A., which is next to the highest award given. Perhaps the most active organization in school, the G. A. A.'s pledge is: We promise to uphold the ideals of the G. A. A. by promoting interest in athletics and the out of doors, by living so that we may be healthy and strong, by making sportsmanship a constant fac- tor in our conduct. Civ glze Centennial .liger 1858-1958 DRAMATICS Geneseo, Mendota and Princeton, each worked on a one act play which were presented to all three of the schools. They were given at Mendota on October 21, at Geneseo on October 26, and at Princeton on November 1. Each school drew for the type of play that it was to give with the result that a varied program was given. Mendota presented Elmer,,' a comedy. Gen- eseo's play was a mystery, The jeweled Handf' Princeton's play was a fantasy, l'The Land of Heart's Desire, by William Butler Yeats.

To the juniors this means their debut into dramatic world. To the school and townspeople it means an event to be enjoyed. The play this year was a clever comedy, Tons of Money. A title like that is bound to incite curiosity. For who is there that hasn't at some time or other in his life wished that he had liter- ally tons of money! Those who attended the play will never forget the schemes made in an attempt to secure the money and the impersonations and predicaments that followed.

XWe helieve that Labor Day is just beginning for students and teachers alike for to- day we find them assembled in the auditorium to begin another year of work. At least We think they mean work! I0-Our first assembly this year. The freshmen are hurrying and scurrying hither and yon trying to find their newly-assigned assem- bly seats. One would think the auditorium had become a stampede but in due time places have been found and pandemonium departs. Vlhereupon our new coach, Mr. Glenn Martin, flater we'll be call- ing him Abe ,j arose and gave us a pep talk on getting more boys out for football. We all left much enthused and all determined to do our bit for the honor of the school. 134The Future Farmers got a head start on all other organizations when they met today to perfect their organization, They aim to ac- complish bigger and better projects in the year ahead. To pilot them in this big program they chose Dale Duffield as president, Iiverett Carter as vice president, Joe Heitz as secretary, and Robert Hoover, treasurer. l-t-Shamed by the F. F. Afs speed in organization the classes got busy with their elections today. The Seniors again broke tradition and chose a feminine leader in the person of Martha Zearing. XXII: understand that Martha is the second girl to be president of the Senior class in the last sixteen years. Dexter Nelson, renowned for his largeword vocabulary, will lead the -Iuniors, while Bob Duffield and Bill Smith will be the guiding stars of the Sophomores and Freshmen. 16-Today we had our first assembly with an outside speaker. Mrs. Nlargaret Wells Wood of the State Department of Public Health spoke to us in no uncertain terms about the responsibility of mar- riage and parenthood. 17fFootball season opened with a bang. The whole town of Wal- riut turned out and a goodly crowd of Princeton citizens were on nand to see what might be the prospects of the season. The en- thusiasm of the student body knew no bounds as they gave them- selves to lusty cheers for the team. The result was a twelve tcp nothing victory for Princeton. All felt that this was a marvelous be- ginning and portended well for the future. 21-A bonfire, singing, girls, marshmallows I I All these put to- gether reflect the good time at the Hi-Tri get-together on the Ath- letic Field. The Seniors were responsible for providing the one hundred girls that attended with a royal good time and a means of acquainting the Freshmen with the upperclassmen. 23-Something new and different made its appearance in the high school today. 'Twas an activity ticket. 'Twill enable us to see all the good things at school for the price of a few of them. We like the idea! As one of our teachers says, It's the Scotch in us. 2-ifAnother victory for Princeton! Wethersfield went down to de- feat at the Tigers' hands to a tune of 12 to tl. The barbeques sold by the Seniors helped to keep the spectators warm and enthusiastic, Of course, the team played good football. 28-The faculty made their official debut into the social whirl at the junior-Senior Reception given in their honor. A short program in the auditorium where the faculty saw themselves as students see them was followed by dancing in the cafeteria. Pick-up-sticks, Monoply, and other games were played in nearby rooms. Refresh- ments, essential to all parties, were much enjoyed. gne Centennial .gcnger 1858-1958 OCTOBER 1--Students, beware! First warning notice to parents.

Kryl's Band was here again. 6--Try-outs for the one act play after school. We're all waiting with tear and trembling to see if our names are on the list. In the evening the G. A. A. had a covered dish supper and initiated Loretta Brown, Gladys Polson, Alfreda Larson, and Edith Dean into their honorable society. Details of initiation weren't forthcoming so we can't enlighten you. Freshman Tri-Hi met for the first time this year-they don't know what it's all about yet. but they'll catch on. ' --The Dramatic Triangle Verse Reading contest was held in Princeton. We took second place. Phoebe Nichols and Martha Zearing represented us. 8-Vacation4for the pupils at least. The teachers journeyed to Streator for the Illinois Valley Division Institute. They all seemed inspired by it. One of the teachers proclaimed it the most interest- ing in years. XX'e also understand some of the teachers found a grand place to eat. O-We beat DePue on their own ground 15-0 and incidently won the jug for another year. We think the jug adds to the looks ot the trophy case. l2AThe juniors' try-out for their big dramatic event of the year. What is it! The class play, of course! Tons of Money -thats just the name. 13-Gene Connolly was hostess to the French Club tonight. The French students talked French all evening-or at least tried to. Fach one has a little accent and vocabulary all his own, so you can imagine the hubbub. l-ifj, T. Mummery, state program secretary of Y. M. C. A. told us about the big, big world into which we'll soon be toddling. He warned us about stubbing our toes and burning our fingers. Thanks for them kind words, misterl 15--Played Ottawa a tie game, O-0-not so good, not so bad. The first grade period ended and we are still alive. 16-The Sophomores had their first party tonight, under the guid- ance of Miss Graham and Mr. Fwart, and was it a wow ! l The Barn Dance effect just suited all the farmers and farmerettes. 21 --The One Act play cast journeyed to Mendota to present their masterpiece, and also to see the other two plays. 22-All loyal football fans journeyed to Manlius to see Princeton win another victory. Lets give three rahs for the team. 25-The girls of the G. A. A. were hostesses at a play day to girls of several neighboring towns. Many males of the species investi- gated the play day, we hear. Four Home lic. Club girls attended the State convention which was held yesterday and today in Rocktord. They learned all about Homemaking. Oh boyl The Freshmen had their first party, and was it a party! We hear they all stood around and-oh you know, didn't do anything, but we have our doubts. Better luck next time, freshiesl 25-The students enjoyed an unusual assembly program. Giovanni Sperandeo, a lyric tenor, sang and also told his life story. He made us realize that we ought to be doing a lot more with ourselves than we are. 26- Dad Waite was in Princeton again-for another visitfto have conferences with any students who wish to dsicuss their prob- lems. During the assembly this morning he discussed our different kind of opportunities. The One-Act play cast travelled to Geneseo. 29-Goodbye4only a half a day of school. Why?

Martha Zearing gave a brief summary of the organization, Dexter Nelson spoke about the Factor of Success, Alfreda Larson gave the objectives of the coun- cil, and Carol Stevens discussed the qualifications of the members for the council. Then the Camera Club met after school and dis- cussed different kinds of lenses. The public speakers from fifth period not to be out done had a weiner roast in the evening. 23-The Seniors decided to have the juniors and Seniors of DePue high over for a party December Ai. Then the Future Farmers held a meeting in the evening and closed by all playing basketball. Z4-Well, Bob I-lanscom was here for an assembly program. He por- trayed six scenes from Dickens' Tale of Two Cities with Marjorie Vlarling and joe Heitz taking minor parts. Then everyboy danced The Big Apple after school at the twi-light matinee. 25-Well Thanksgiving and turkey eatin' is here again. 50-Our team played Walnut there tonight. and, as you've guessed, we beat them. We never let anything like that bother us. Girls' basketball started tonight. There seems to be more interest this year. In fact, we hear they're so good, that they can sub for the boys in a pinch. .gvlze Centennial! .gtger 1858-1938 DECEMBER 1-G. A. A. gave us a pep assembly today.

Oh, they're a peppy bunch all right! 2-Dr. Paul Tescher, assistant director of Bureau of Public Health talked to the student body on Ignorance, Accidents, and Health. Dr. Tescher writes a column in the Hygeia. He told us about some of the silly letters he received and we all immediately deter- mined to be very, very wise! 'S-Ottawa played Princeton-and defeated them! -1-The junior and Senior classes played hostess to Del-'ue tonight.

The club discussed parts of the camera. -Mrs. Martin johnson, world-famous explorer, talked here at Civic League. She was extremely interesting, and the teachers didn't seem to mind the fact that we didn't have our lessons-which shows that teachers recognize a good thing when they see it. 8-The students who sold the most magazine subscriptions were excused for the free matinee this afternoon. It made us all wish well worked harder! 9-Freshmen Girls' Humorous Triangle Contest. janet Robb, and Betty jane Mercer represented Princeton-Sh! don't tell anybody but we only placed third. 10-Basketball-AmboyfHere.

I7--Our mixed chorus gave a lovely Christmas Concert with all ot our favorite Noel songs. 18QThe United Church Choir of Princeton gave their second annual concert. They sang many exerpts from Handel's Messiah. 20-The football boys got their awards this morning in assembly. Mr. Martin had something nice to say about each one of them-- and you should have seen them blush! Talk about maidenly modesty Y 21-Today we had our annual Christmas assembly. The Christmas Cheer just bubbled out of us, and we literally made the rafters ring. French Club met at Martha Zearings for a Qthat's rightlj Christ- mas party. We had a grand time-yes, of course we ate!--that's one of the reasons we had a good time, and then we played French games, too. 22-All the home rooms had their Christmas parties today just before school closed. Everyone came out eating popcorn balls or ice cream bars, or candy bars. tAnd incidently, getting their books all stickylj 23-The long looked-forward-to vacation began today.

We'll bet they didn't keep training rules all year, though! 3-Back to school with faces beaming, but not with anticipation of the next six weeks. Rather, we think, the students were remember- ing their joyeux tthat's Frenchll holidays. 4-Our team played Wyanet. We won-30 to 11. 6-Home EC. Club met tonight and learned how to earn their school letters. The letters are coveted property, and we just know every little Home Ec-er will work just as hard as she can to get one. 7-Tonight was a big night in the lives of the base mortals of the second year Latin class, for they became members of the com- pany known as Societa Latina Princetoniae. The Senior English class is having a vehement debate. But then, why shouldn't they? The same question rocked a nation. Should the Duke of Windsor abdicate ? They don't know-but they think they dol 8fOur debaters thought they'd leave townfbut just for debate practice. They are such loyal folks, always thinking of debating. 11-Camera Club met and discussed plans for their big scenairo contest.

Decided to have a little kids party january 29. Also the Rifle Club had an extensive program-before supper they discussed techniques and afterwards how to get some target practice. Incidentally, Wethersfield beat us that night. 15Our boys are sure working-game with Geneseo here. Although the opponents won, it was swell. Then the Seniors sponsored the usual dance awarwards. 17-Last minute craming. Exams begin tomorrow. Now we look enviously at the A students, who look rather bored at all the in- dustrious studying front the habitually lazy kids. 2lfExams ended today. Everybody looks kind of weary and de- jected. The band gave their annual concert tonight, and turned out to be Kryl Jrfs-every single band member. Everybody congratu- lated the band, and, well, you know how those things do. We won't go into that. 24fAn assembly started out the new semester. We all made new resolves-but, don't worry, we'll break themgwere no angels! The Parkinson Ensemble, a group of high school musicians, amazed us with their ability. The juniors started reading The Crisis by Churchill today. That is always an event in the life of a junior. You really know you've read that book when you get done. 26-County Basketball Tournament at Wyanet started tonight. We played Manlius and won. 27-Played Neponset and won. 28-Played Tiskilwa and won. 29-Now for the climax! tYou can see that the whole school's attention was centered on these games.j Played Buda and lost! Wouldn't that make you pop a tonsil? It did seem that we got some tough breaksgbut were not making excuses, because we were proud to get second. 31fFrench Clubfthey learned all about Napoleon. Basketball with Kewanee, but we lost. ghe Cientenniaf Zger 1858-1958 FEBRUARY 3-The G. A, A. girls got together and had a party that was a party. The committee was very generous and furnished the ham- burgers, then everybody brought along some more food. Then there was a very fine program afterwards with Ida ,lane Brooks in charge. 4-Wfell, our debate team went to Augustana and had a round of debates, but we really didn't do so well. Then we played basket- ball with Geneseo there. 5-Basketball with Dixon, and they rather put us to show with a score of -ll to 25. Then there was a dance sponsored by the good old Senior class. 7-French Club met during class. and our illustrious Frenchmen played French games just like veterans. , 84We beat bfendota on their own floor, 51-28 It was one good game. XVe'd just let them catch up with us and then we'd speed up and make some more baskets. It was rather a shame, though, to see all the Mendota student body wanting to get ahead of us, and we didn't give them a chance. Oh, we're cruel, cruel people! 9-The Sophomores had a Valentine party tonight. Isn't that love- ly! The cafeteria resembled a night club, with tables around the sides, dancing in the middle, and a floor show to top it off. Some class, eh? IOf--Vacationfwhoopee5 Except the teachers had Institute, but they all seemed to enjoy it, though. In the evening the freshmen enjoyed a party at Cupid Club. 11-Teachers' Institute again. Then, there was a little kids party at Cupid Club-'course the little kids were really the Seniors, They really seemed to enjoy their Childhood days. 147Today we had an assembly which made some boys sink down in their seats and say, He's nuts! However, we noticed that they did drive a little more carefully after that. You see, it was about driving. The speaker classed drivers in three classes: superior, good, and fair. The chorus sang for the XVomen's Club this afternoon. They had been working on their cantata, Lady of 5halott for so long that we thought it was their theme-song! 17-Mr. Hobart, a remarkable blind pianist, played for us this morning. He has an amazing musical sense, being able to name any musical tone. He played some of his original compositions. We kinda got to figuring that he was a pretty good example of what a person can make of himself if he's got the will power. ,lust because we belong to a modern civilization doesn't mean that things come to us on a silver platter-we have to work just as hard for things as our grandfathers did. Pardon the philosophizingl 18-An all-school Tri-Hi covered dish supper was held tonight at school. X5Ue ate and sang songs. Wie had a Tswell time. 'Ihe band ordered some new uniforms today. Are they thrilled! 22fOur last home basketball game-just think. Mendota took the lead early in the game, and stayed there until the final gun. The F. F. A. boys also had an important meeting to discuss plans for a Father and Son Banquet. 23-Assembly-Harold Cook, LI former Princeton student presented Dad Buckingham, Grand Orator of the DeMolay. He told us about conditions in Iiurope, especially Russia and Poland, and concluded that we should be very glad to be Americans and to be able to live in America. 24--Highlight of the basketball season. Princeton Faculty versus the Wfalnut Faculty, and it was really a good time. We wonder of course. But the one sad part was when Mr. Lowry hurt his knee fwe saw him on crutches for several weeks after that. 25-Our last out of town game before the tournaments. It was at Hall Township and we won. There were about as many Princeton- ians there as people from Spring Valley. 28-Two assemblies, all in one day, too! In the morning Betty Robinson gave a most interesting account of herself and about participating in two Olympic Games. Dr. Patmont spoke in the afternoon on the subject of America Facing the Crisis.

Then they watched Princeton defeat the Spring Valley squad 57 to 27. 4AEnd of the grade period! There was a very rousing pep assem- blv for our game with Walnut, and also the finals of the tourna- ment. Oh, that was an exciting game, and Princeton came out on top with the trophy-another beautiful one for our trophy case. lncidently the juniors beat the Sophomores playing basketball. 8-The Seniors took the Knox Achievement test this morning and came out feeling low-very low. It is discouraging to spend four years just learning, and then be given a test in which you know absolutely nothing! But then, such is life. Back up, Seniors! 9-Senior class play try-outs were held tonight. Everyones imagin- ing himself a new Romeo or Juliet or Will Rogers. We fear some of them are going to feel rather deflated in the morning when they see the cast. 10-An extemporaneous original oratory was held in the Little Theatre tonight. Geneseo took first place. Princeton got second and third. 11-Princeton played Streator at the Sectional, held in Pontiac. However, with Morel in bed and Swan injured in the game, we had a good excuse for losing the game. 1-1-F. F. A. had their annual Fathers and Sons Banquet tonight. We understand they had a big time. In some families the sons had to adopt fathers for the evening. 16-The Senior girls had an unusual opportunity of hearing Mrs. Dr. Nelson talk about the Chinese. Then the fifth period Public Speaking Class presented a play, Thomas Cook, Ltd. 17-The Seniors had another class meeting. They elected com- mencement speakers. The ones chosen were Carolyn McManis and Dallis Prather. 18-Big event! The first junior class party of the year. It was a real little kids' party with everything from scooters to a grab bag. 19-The Boys' and Girls' Choruses held a rummage sale today. They seemed to enjoy selling rummage-maybe they just felt at home. They cleared about 3545. Nice rummaging, eh? 21-We had a short assembly this morning to make plans for the Athletic Benefit. Every year about this time the Athletic Society sponsors a benefit entertainment, and since the A. S. is Mr. Kel- sey's brain child, he is naturally in the limelight. Today was no exception. I-Ie even promised that if six home rooms sold their ticket quota IOOW he would sing a bass solo. That should he an incentive! 224Athletic Banquet was held tonight. All teachers and boys par- ticipating in athletics were eligible. Football and basketball cap- tains were chosen, This was farewell to high school athletics for the Seniors, and they seemed rather subdued and sober. Wonder why? 24fThe band made its first public appearance with their new suits tonight. The suits are blue and gray with lots of gold braid-we heard somebody call it rope-and did they look nice! Tomorrow night the band will play in the district contest. We hope they knock the judges off their feet-like they did usl 25-Well, the band with their nice, new uniforms set bravely forth to overwhelm the contest judges at Rock Island. But the judges, not having taken their Alka-Seltzer-or was it Tunis? felt that Prince- ton only deserved second place. 29-Monmouth singers were here again this year and the student body certainly enjoyed them. It was good to see Reverend Acheson in our midst again. 31-Well, did you see all those freshman girls around school wearing their dresses wrong side out and carrying tennis rackets and baseball bats almost ready to sock you over the head! Well, they were the G. A. A. lnitiates, and they really got initiated. Then the newly elected members of the National Honor Society were in- stalled in that organization in a very impressive ceremony. Also the boys of the Athletic Scholarship Society were recognized. .glle Czenfennial ,cnger 1838-1958 APRIL IfThe red letter day for the Athletic Association-or maybe I should say blue letter day. You see, the Athletic Benefit was held in the evening. There was a movie of the 1936 Olympic Games. Then the boys' ballet dance. And in the gym the two basketball games. And did the teachers go to town, the wrong way of course. 24-A Latin Tournament was held at LaSalle. Princeton came off with a lot of honors-first and second place in Latin I and second place in Latin II. Gloria Winslow, Helen Bryant, Emily Iean I-Ienf sel, and George Vane represented us. 8-A-Science Tour to Chicago. About forty students from the junior and Senior classes went for a two-day field trip to Chicago. Don't you imagine they had fun? The Rose Marionettes were here for both a matinee and evening performance. 9-Everybody seems to be going away. Now, Mrs. Mayeur, accom- panied by Marjorie Thomas, Jeanne Kasbeer, Carolyn McManis, Martha Zearing, jimmy Tedrow, Bendy Nathan, and Bill Horton, left for a wee-k's trip to New Orleans. 15-Last Civic League Program for this year. The Northerners were here and heartily enjoyed by everybody. 184Back from spring vacation with a grand case of spring fever and dreaminess. When the teachers ask us to concentrate, we just say I can dream, can't I? That floors them! College Day today, with representatives from various schools of higher learning. Better watch out, or they'll bribe you into getting a better education. 22-The Senior Class Play, The Ghost Flies South was given to- night to a well-packed house. The hilarious comedy made everyone feel good-we hope! MAY 2-XX'ell, the Sophomores looked and looked at ring samples, and tinally decided on the one. Watch next fall and you will see them. 6-Hear ye!

We'll bet the parents are just as glad as the studentsgthey can heave a sigh of relief, and say proudly, I'm sure ,junior won't get any more warn- ing notices this year! 27-The juniors and Seniors frolicked with Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs at the annual Prom.

Can you blame them? We can't! JUNE If--The Seniors decided to study a little for a change---seeing that exams begin june Znd. But there was a moon, and it was spring so- 2-Senior Exams did come, even though it didn't seem possible, and we sat through two hours of pure undiluted agony-and envied those wise, very wise people who had studied, but next time, it will be different QI-Ium!j - 5-More undiluted agony, only we knew something about it due to our good resoltions of yesterday.

The first part of the program took place in the auditorium. This included a motion picture of the 1936 Olympic games and several musical numbers. After this interesting program in the auditorium everyone went to the gym for two very exciting basketball games. The first was between the women of the faculty and the freshmen girls. The faculty plus the referee could not even beat the freshmen girls. During the half Miss Malsbury put on a sharp-shooting exhibition as a special added attraction. After the shouts of the first game had died down and Captain Bugs Berry had been pre- sented with several worthwhile gifts, the second game of the evening began. The men of the faculty suffered their first defeat in several years, going down before the All-Stars by a score of 27-28. Nearly one hundred dollars were taken in at this much-advertised event. JUNIOR KIDS PARTY Friday evening, March 18, the juniors got on their short trousers and blouses, or short dresses, and carried dolls and toys because on that night the class had a kid party at the school. This af- fair was a real child's party. The entertainment is similar to what people of junior year age played about ten years ago, and the food is just what cor- rectly fed children should have. The fun started at 7:50 sharp, so -all the youngsters could leave early and get their required rest. SOCIETY The tables in the Cafeteria are prepared for a royal feast. ATHLETIC BANQUET The annual Athletic Banquet was held in the high school cafeteria on the evening of March 23. Coach Martin presented basketball letters and numerals to twelve boys. Charles Moline, football and basketball captain elect, was introduced and said a few words concerning the teams. Track Coach, Mr. Ewart, announced the new track cap- tain, Max Seibel, a long-distance runner. As is the custom every year, representatives from the business men's associations were guests. Louis Zearing, Enos fBudj Cole, George O. Smith, and Ted Duffield talked for a short time about the Athletic Association. Mr. Kelsey, who manages the financial end of the business, made a report. He believes the association will show a small profit if the benefit comes out as expected. JUNIOR SENIOR RECEPTION Tuesday, September 28, at 7:15 the juniors and seniors had a reception for the teachers, their wives, and the school board members. A program was given in the auditorium. 'leanne Kasbeer sang a solo, 'iThe Lullaby of the Leaves and a short skit was presented. The characters tried to portray the teachers in dress, walk, speech, and oddities. Alvin Brandt taught the class, and they were just as bad as any class we've ever seen. Miss Graham was late, fpoor soul, she's usually so punctualfj and Mr. Mortensen's hayfever didn't keep him from throw- ing erasers, either! Eileen Russman ended the pro- gram with an excellent tap-dance. The evening closed with games and dancing. .glle Cjenfenniaf QCDQQV 1838-1958 SENIOR PARTY If you had entered the high school on Febru- ary ll, '38, a queer sight would have met your eyes. Kids in pig-tails, hair ribbons, bow ties, and short pants gleefully drinking soda pop at Club Valentine, the nite spot of all P. T. I-I. S. students. In reality it was the seniors dismantling them- selves of their senioral dignity and frolicking for all the world like two-year olds. The kids were entertained by Ralph Pierson, who whistled several numbers. Outside talent in the person of Bertha Wetherhold and Carol Stevens, who strummed the Hawaiian guitar and whistled according to their respective abilities fas- cinated the youngsters immensely. Loretta Brown played two selections on the piano and also on the violin. Schoenie's Orchestra furnished excellent music for all the steps then learned in dancing school. Then when time was moving rapidly toward the hour of 11:30, lunch was served, sandwiches and pop. SOPHOMORE PARTY The cafeteria was rapidly transformed on Octo- ber 16 into a hayloft for the purpose of having a barn dance. Bales of hay serving as resting places and horse collars here and there to give it the proper rustic atmosphere, made picturesque with the lads and Iassies in their overalls, calicoes, and sun-bonnets, left no doubt in our mind as to their plans for the evening. Farmer jack Tompkins as Master of Ceremonies, welcomed everyone to the hayloft. Farmer Vane pounded a piano solo even though his fingers were a bit stiff from a-hoeing in the cornfieldf' Mildred Eckstrom and Carolyn Savage, those two little maids from the hills, sang Cousin jebediah as it had never been sung before. And Mary Trimble, the little golden-haired lass from the Ozarks, played and played on the old pianyf' Dancing was enjoyed by everyone although Farmers Shaffer and Ewart did complain a little about their rheumatism pains when they did the Big Apple. CLUB VALENTINE BROADCAST From its elegantly furnished ball room Prince- ton's newest club, sponsored by the Wiggle Walg- gle Breakfast Food Company, broadcast part of its program Wfednesday evening over station PRIN. jack Tompkins was the genial master of cere- monies. FRESHMAN PARTY The freshman class opened their social season Saturday night, October 23, with a gala affair. As a starter there was a contest between the boys and girls in which the boys won. Then there was a choice of cards, bunco, bingo, monopoly, pickup sticks and dancing, after which refreshments were served. CLUB CUPID OPENS The freshmen held a party Thursday night, February 10. There was a large crowd including several teachers. The program was in the form of a night club. Wentlell Sterrett, as Cupid, acted as master of ceremonies. The freshmen were enter- tained by several musical numbers, including some songs, a guitar solo, and a harmonica solo. Later refreshments were served. 5 J ii The Christmas Tree in the second floor corridor does much to create the spirit of Christmas in the hearts of faculty and students. glle Centennial! .acnger 1858-1,938 CON Is there any one who doesnit like a good con- test? The fact that there are so many contests by radio, in magazines, newspapers, and other places is proof positive that human beings enjoy contests. In the early days of the school, competition was limited to the four walls of the school. The mem- bers of the Senior Class delivered graduating essays which were judged and prizes awarded. Later a sight reading contest was held for the sophomores and a declamation contest for the juniors. The winners of the latter represented Princeton in the County Declamation contests. Still later the Big Nine Contest was created for debate and declamation. Its scope increased to in- clude oratory, extempore speaking, and one act plays. The Big Nine was abandoned and Prince- ton joined with Mendota and Geneseo in a tri- angular literary and music contest. Witliin the county a music contest in chorus and orchestra was held for a number of years. In this contest Prince- ton was especially successful. This contest was abandoned in favor of a county wide Music Fes- tival. The literary contest was still continued in the county. For this the county is divided into zones whose winners enter final competition. Since the county music contest was abandoned Princeton has participated in the State Music Contest. TRIANGULAR CONTESTS The first contest was the Verse Reading Con- test held in Princeton. Our representatives were Phoebe Nichols and Martha Zearing. Although six contestants enter only three places are given. First place was won by Geneseo, Phoebe Nichols placed second. Her selection was from Ujohn Brown's Body by Benet. Mendota was host to the Freshmen Girls' Humorous Contest. Betty jane Mercer and janet Robb represented Princeton. Betty jane won third place giving, Who's Afraid? A One Act Play Contest was held but not judged. Instead the three plays were presented at each of the three schools. Princeton's play was entitled The Land of Heart's Desire. A third contest, the Girls, Dramatic, was held in Geneseo in january. Eileen Russman and Phoebe Nichols, Princeton's contestants, failed to place. The boys of the school also had opportunity to compete in the Triangular Contests. One of the these was the contest in oration which was held in Geneseo in November. Ralph Pierson and Ken- neth Nelson were our contenders. Kenneth placed third. The subject of his oration was And Sudden Death by Furnass. T ESTS Better luck favored our boys in the Speaking Contest held in Princeton in this contest jim Tedrow speaking on Monopolies placed second and Fred cussing the Spanish Civil War placed third. COUNTY ZONE LITERARY CONTEST Externpore March. In New Deal Heck dis- The Zone Contest was held in Princeton this year on Friday, April 29. The schools competing in this Zone were Tiskilwa, Ohio, Malden and Princeton. Four contests were held. Princeton won the contest in Boys' Oration and Extempore Speak- ing. Kenneth Nelson and jim Tedrow were tne contestants. They will represent the Zone in the County Contest to be held late in May. In Girls' Dramatic Phoebe Nichols placed sec- ond while Eileen Russman placed third in Girls' Humorous. MUSIC CONTESTS For the second year Princeton entered in the State Music Contests. The Band, which won first division rating in the beginning division last year, placed in second division rating in advanced com- petition. Five soloists entered the District Contest at Rock Island. They were Dexter Nelson, sousa- phoneg Robert Miller, saxaphone, Helen Kuhn, French horn, Robert Schoenberger, comet, Ellen Freeman, clarinet. Of these soloists Dexter Nelson and Robert Miller rated first division which en- titled them to compete in the finals at Urbana. Here they rated second and third divisions. At this contest the Band appeared in their new uniforms which added greatly to their stage appearance. Both the Boys' and Girls' Choruses entered into the state this year. This was the first time the Boys' Chorus had entered competition. Both Choruses rated first division. On May 7 they com- peted in the finals at Normal. Here the Boys placed first division and the Girls second. LATIN CONTEST Still another interscholastic contest was held this spring. Representatives of the first and second year Latin classes participated in the State District Con- test winning three of the four possible places. Those competing were George Vane and Emily Hensel representing the second year group and Gloria Winslow and Helen Bryant represent- ing the First Year students. Later the three win- ners entered the contest at Bloomington. Here they made a very creditable showing but failed to place among the winners. 1858-1958 l 1 CONTESTANTS 9huebe Nichols and lVlLll'fllLl Zearimg, Verse Reudingg Robert Miller.
