' LIFE ' Page lilcvcu Through the eras of advancing civilization many have been the kinds and styles of footwear adopted by flffflffl .n1f1iw1.f. ln a sense, his progress is reflected in his manner of dressing his feet. As he sat at his hieroglyphics, the uncouth cave man was satisfied with rude foot coverings made from the skins of animals. But man progressed in knowledge and power, and constantly he was taking thought as to how he might minister to the needs of his pedal extremities. His inventive genius led to the develop- ment of that common article, the shoe. What may one learn by viewing the shoes pupils wear? Do the digits that twinkle from toeless sandals indicate a frivolous character? Are heavy, serviceable brogues significant of a slight tendency toward studiousness? Are careless people apt to be run down at the heel, the meticulous ones neatly booted? Because of universal interest in shoes we have chosen thorn as our theme, We stand on our choice, o BCDARD OF EDUC!-XTIGN Our high school is administered by the Board of Education, consisting ot one woman, Miss Mary Uthotf, and tour men, Mr. Guy Bryant, Dr. O. I. Flint, Mr. Iohn Skinner, and Mr. David Pamp. This group ot public-spirited Princetonians assumes tinal responsibility tor academic policies as Well as tor the operation of the school plant. To issue credits tor all courses taken under the auspices of the school, to grant diplomas, to control admission, promotion, and graduation requirements ot the individual students, and to superintend student Welfare are but a few ot the many duties that come under the jurisdiction of the Board ot Education, Mr. Bryant, the chairman ot this council, is an outstanding horticulturist in our community. To him we are indebted for the supervision of the land- scaping of our beautiful campus. Because ot her experience as a teacher and as County Superintendent ot Schools, Miss Uthotf is a detinite asset as a member ot the Board of Education. Dr. Flint, Whose service to our school dates back to 1911, takes an active part in routine business matters and also interests himself in all measures pertaining to student health. ln supporting his colleagues, Mr. Pamp, a local business man, obligingly assists in solving many school problems. As secretary of this group We have Mr. Skinner, a prominent insurance broker, through whose hands must passgll the intricate details having to do with school tinance. We Wish to express our thanks to these tireless people who have given unseltishly of their time and energy in the service ot us, the students ot Princeton High School. MR. BRYANT MISS UTHOFF DR. FLINT MR. SKINNER MIR. PAMP ' Page Twelve eTl-IE ARCH MR. O. V. SHAFFER B. S., Westminster College M. S., University of lllinois Among the pleasant recollections held by graduates of our school is that of their association with Mr. Shaffer, our kindly principal. His out- standing personality affects all with whom he comes in contact as admin- istrator, teacher, and friend. We deeply appreciate his able super- vision of the high school.

Lake SENIOR CLASS PLAY The class of 1940 presented its play, New Fires, a comedy in three acts, on May 3. The produc- tions was worthy of the talented class and of the capable director, Miss Henderson. Stephen Santry, a well-to-do author, decides to make his family see the purpose in life. In order to do this, he brings them to an old farm in Missouri much against the wishes of his society wife. A complication in the form of scarlet fever turns the tide in Stephen's favor and the family is brought to see his point of view. 5 Page Twenty-Seven THE CHARACTERS Stephen Santry .,...., .. ,.,..,............,....,..,..,,,..........,,,....,,,,..,,....,.........., ..

In September, 1939, we filed from the eighth grade, a hundred strong, to the dispensary of higher learning, determined to impress it with our importance. But alas! We were rudely shaken and dazed when, upon entering its portals, we were greeted with nothing but a withering looks. Our minds were still blessedly ignorant of sorrow and care, but they were not to remain so much longer. Our freshman trials were bravely borne, for we knew this some day we would stand proudly on the majestic moun- tain of achievement, overlooking in our turn, the strug- gling, toiling worms below-the oppressed freshmen. After a somewhat vague introduction to our fellow travellers, we assembled to elect our highly esteemed of- ficers. Donald Sandburg became our president, and jack Ferris, our vice president. Edna Schnuerer was chosen for secretary, and Maybeth Shaffer, for treasurer. Mrs. May- eur and Mr. Fleming were on hand to welcome and guide us on our way. Our first social event was a Hallowe'en masquerade party, where prizes were given for the cleverest costumes. On january 18 of the new year, we met again to enjoy a class party and further extend our social relationships a class party and further extend our social relationships. Next year we shall be sophomores, and our minds will wander back to the time when the goal of our fond- est ambitions was high school. EDNA SCHNUERER MARY SCHOENBERGER I Speak of Sophomores. . . On September 6, 1938, a group of fearless colonists landed on the shores of Princeton High School, eager to face the many problems which seemed likely to come forth from the already established settlements. This band numbered one hundred twenty, one of the largest groups which had ever crossed Princeton Rock. The vigorous settlers founded a province which they named Fresh- mania. A democratic form of government was set up with a Council as follows: Burton Nelson, Governor, Keel Nienaber, Lieutenant Governor, Laurence Monier, Scribe, and George Snell, Secretary of the Treasury. Advisers to the Council were Miss Bell and Mr. Burns. Outstanding scholastic achievements of the year went to Manuel Lee Allen, the sage of the colony. On june 9, 1939, a spirit of restlessness came over the entire populace, and so the residents of Freshmania embarked upon the Voyage of Vacation. On September 4, returning to the land of Princeton High School, these same inhabitants, because of their knowledge and higher learning, gathered up their belongings and migrated into another province of Princeton High School-Sophomore another province,-Sophomoreland. Again a democratic form of government was set up, and the following Coun- cil elected: Burton Nelson, second term as Governor, Laurence Monier, Lieutenant Governor, Keel Nienaber, Scribe, Marilou Mosshart, Secretary of the Treasury. Miss Ashdown teamed with Mr. Burns on the Advisory Board because of Miss Bell's unexpected adventure with marriage. On December 2 the first Sophomoreland Grand Ball took place, and on May 10, the Annual Sophomoreland Banquet. Bob Yates, Laurence Monier, and Russell Erickson gained fame on the Sophomore battle-front by carrying the pigskin through the enemy's lines, and Boby Yates and Roger Mercer received recognition in Hoop-play. Hayden Parker also brought distinction to Sophomore- land when he won the State Tooting Contest, receiving a recommendation for the National Contest. In the scho- lastic fields Manuel Lee Allen, Richard Skinner, and Burton Nelson claimed the honors. And so we leave thesehardy pioneers, confident that we shall hear later of their worthy achievements. BURTON NELSON In The lunior Theatre . . It was on Tuesday morning, September 7, 1937, that we were seated in the theatre, breathlessly awaiting' the opening of the annual spectacle, Four Years Through High School, or Mob Rule Defies Education. Our programs were printed thus: The Cast ...............,........ High School Students Scene ................................, Princeton High School TimeHAct I ............

Having viewed similar productions in other years, we were not surprised, when the curtain rose, to see timid, polite, little freshies meandering as if lost in the vast halls of learning. Our sympathies were aroused. Wciuld they never learn the ways of high school? Before long we found our fears to be groundless. In the leading' role Bill Smith was neatly commandeering the young people in all trying situations. They were attempting valiantly to secure a place in the limelight. Lo, in a short time its debaters, honor students, and heroes of the gridiron brought them fame. The snobbish upper classmen, hear- ing of these accomplishments, kindly acknowledged the existence of the freshmen. Their perseverance was re- warded with permits to enter the ranks of the sopho- mores. They had heard that positoins there were free from strife and anxiety. just before the lights blinked on, the assembled actors cried en masse, On, Comrades! On to greater pursuits! In a few minutes, it seemed, the set was prepared for the next act. At the first glimpse of the stage, one felt the new strength and self confidence of the actors. ln this period, the Richard Horton Administration reigned supreme. Many were the trials and tribulations that con- fronted these industrious students in their campaigns, but, emulating their idols, the upper classmen, they calmly settled all difficulties. At election time they re- gained their peace of mind. President Horton's term of office closed with a festive soiree, the Sophomore Ban- quet. The hearts of the audience nearly went out of bounds as the curtain fell on the strains of Deep Purple. An excellent play! Once again a calm settled over the theatre. Before us were the actors beginning the third act. These fine young people, now at a music lesson, were listening attentively to their leader, George Mar- mora. He spoke a few words and indicated his readi- ness. Then from the melodious instruments came the type of sweet music that can be played only by a happy successful society. At the end of practice the students re- tired. Their next entrance was dazzling. Those flowers, those evening' gowns, those shining faces! What could it mean? Only one thing-the junior-Senior Prom. Soft music was playing, the couples began dancing as if they were floating, the music grew softer, softer, the lights were dimmed and then were shaded more until there appeared only a soft haziness over the stage. Truly, the perfect end of a perfect year. Wfe were prepared for a grand finale when there came an announcement. The last act, it was regretfully stated, could not be shown at that time. However, it was to be given in the near future. The cast, in a spirit of cooperation, expressed its willingness to carry on to the finish.

Early practices are held on the athletic field in preparation for the first public ap- pearances at the football games. It is indeed a thrilling sight to see the smartly uniformed members led by the strutting drum-major and the sprightly malorettes. As a challenge for artistic improvement, the band each year enters into competition with bands of other schools. This year, after placing in the first division at the district contest at Morris, the organization competed in the state contest at DeKalb. Other bands competing were those from Bensonville, Hins- dale, DeKalb, Morrison, Sterling, Wheaton, Mooseheart, and Harvard. Placing in third division, the Princeton band performed at a high level. At Open House the band played its contest numbers. Some of the mem- bers participated in the Annual Music Festival which was held at the high school on May 7. On May 24 the band gave an interesting program at its an- nual concert. This has been a good year for the band, its success being clue largely to the earnest work of Mr. Lowry. MIXED CHORUS Membership in the high school chorus is determined by try-outs at the be- ginning of the year. Then, almost immediately, rehearsals are arranged so that the girls meet three days each week, the boys, two days, and the combined choruses as the occasion demands. In addition to preparing for its various per- formances, the chorus has spent considerable time studying the scales and other fundamentals of music. The mixed chorus got off to a good start by presenting an operetta en- titled, A Musical Dream, written by Miss Eve Bremer. Colorful costuming, dancing, and appropriate music combined in an entertainment which was pleas- ing to an enthusiastic audience. On December 24, the choruses united again to give the annual Christmas concert. As always, the concert proved to be a worthy representation of the work done in the music department. In an effec- tive setting of Candelabra, Christmas trees, and lighted wreaths, the audience enjoyed a unique and varied program of yuletide music. After placing in tl1e first division of the district contest at Morrison, the girls' chorus competed in the state contest, coming home with another first division rating and recommendations for the national contest. This is the first time in its history that the chorus has received such a high honor. Other activities consisted of a Stephen Foster concert at the Congregational Church, singing for Open House, the Musical Festival, baccalaureate service, and commencement. The gratifying success of the choruses has been due in a large measure to the untiring efforts and efficient leadership of the director, Miss Donnabelle Fry. aDRAMATlCS TOP PICTURE-Bottom Row: Laxiretta Elliott.

' Page Forty IUNIOR PLAY ONE MAD NIGHT Athat's what the audience spent at the junior Class Play of the same name. The play, a mystery farce by james Reach, has its setting in an isolated old mansion in the hills. The mansion, which has been empty for years, is inherited by Don Cutter who arrives unexpectedly to find that his home has been converted into an institution for the mentally unbalanced. With Lady Macbeth, john Alden, and Mr. Hyde wandering about loose, one would think the picture quite com- plete. However, Lucille Marcy, who is quite sane, arrives on the scene to fall in love with Don and to complicate matters. Now, the fun begins, for those undesirable elements, in the form of Don's fiancee and her mother, present themselves. Too late, fair maiden! Don has already taken Lucille's interests to heart and intends to keep them there. just to add a little atmosphere, enter Danny SilCftOfllA71lE7'fL'd7Z gangster. In order to save us all from asylums, the Class of '41 did a grand job of ushering in the dawn after ONE MAD NIGHT. THE CAST Don Cutter ....... .......... L yle Gildermaster Wing ,............

I am the new dramatic club and my name is the Crimson Masque. My president is George Vane, and Miss Lois Henderson is my adviser. My constitution was drawn up by Milton Searl, Mary Schoenberger, Beatrice Olson, and Roberta Duffield. My activities are carried out by various groups or units. One group deals with the production of plays and the others with poetry and reading. My purpose is to further an interest in dramatics and to give people a chance to develop their talents. My members have produced several plays for the entertainment and enjoyment of the rest of the group. I hope you have liked me and will want me back again next year.

' Page Forty-Five NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Many covet, but few receive, the emblem of this organization. The National Honor Society pin carries the letters C. S. L. S., denoting Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service, respectively. Five per cent of the juniors and fifteen per cent of the senior class are eligible for membership each year. The basis of the election is made as fair as possible. Fellow students vote for nominees, and the faculty, considering the student vote, makes the final de- cision. Members of the previous year are required to maintain a high scholastic average to keep their place on roll of the society. NATIONAL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY Fellows who are members of this society are a real credit to our school. To become a member a boy must prove his ability in athletics by winning a letter in a major sport, and also give evidence of scholarship by having grades that are higher than the school average for the three preceding semesters. The pur- pose of the organization is to promote and encourage scholarship and clean athletics. THE A - CLUB The A Club is purely a scholastic group. Its members must attain a straight A grade for the first semester of the school year. They gain recognition and dis- tinction by heading the six weeks' honor rolls. This year the seniors seem to have studied most diligently, for they earned more places on the roll than any other class. THE A B - CLUB Next in line on the honor roll each six weeks come the names of the mem- bers of this organization which, like the A Club, is a scholastic group. Two or more A's, with no grade below a B each grade period of the first semester makes a student eligible for this honor. LATHJCLUB The Latin Club is an integral part of the Caesar classes. Its purpose is twofold: to enliven the routine of Latin grammar with a study of the every- day life of the people who spoke Latin and to promote sociability in the de- partment. During the class period on alternate Mondays are presented programs con- sisting of papers followed by informal discussion and of features in a lighter vein, such as games, puzzles and songs. Upon student demand, trips are made to such exhibitions of classical antiquity as are available at the Field Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago.

The organization is designed to stimulate interest in the liter- ature, life and customs of La Belle France. During the year various members entertain the groups at their homes. The first year French class is included in the parties celebrating Christmas and Mardi Gras. One class period each month is devoted to discussions of French music, food, science, etc. The officers for the year are the following: Le President, Frederic Heck, La Vice Presidente, Marie Trimble, Le Secretaire, Georges Vane, Le Tresorier, Jacques Monier. CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club, it may well be said, has enjoyed a very successful year. The amateur photographers have learned to develop their own films and have had fun doing so. The club had the privilege of hearing a talk given by the president of the Bureau County Club, Mr. Tom Lawton. Also, Mr. Arnold Walter helped teach the club members the correct technique in film developing and enlarging. This organization is instructive and also interesting. It might be called a hobby club, for taking snapshots is a popular pastime with its members. Fred Heck, president of the club this year, has given his group a series of interesting and entertaining meetings. As in the past Mr. Mortensen served as the club adviser. SCHENCE CLUB One of our most interesting and educational groups in the Science Club. Its membership is limited to those members of the chemistry and physics classes who care to belong. Mr. Mortensen is the adviser, and this year the group was headed by President Milton Searl. During the course of the year the club enjoyed talks by Mr. Carey Johnson and Mrs. George Schneider. Mr. Johnson discussed law as a profession, and Mrs. Schneider talked to the group about the intricacies of numerology. Mr. Lee Bolton held the attention of his audience while he explained and demonstrated something of the art of finger printing. The climax of the year, of course, was the spring science trip to Chicago where thirty-five students visited museums, stores, and various factories. The trip was both enjoyable and instructive.

The Princeton de- baters were also successful in the Trade Wind Conference held at DeKalb, March 8 .The negative team won four out of five debates and the affirmative were the victors in two out of five debates. The ranking they attained at the Augustana Meet was the highest Prince- ton has ever had. We may well congratulate you, debaters.

D orothy Samuelson, George Vane E. E. A. The Future Farmers of America is a local, state, and national organization of farm boys studying vocational agriculture in high school. The F. F. A. pin and emblem is made up of five symbolsfthe owl, the plow and the rising sun within the cross section of an ear of corn which is surmounted by the American eagle. The owl is symbolic of wisdom and knowl- edge, the plow is the symbol of labor and tillage of the soil, the rising sun is emblematic of progress and a new day that will dawn when all farmers are the product of vocational agriculture schools, and have learned to co-operate, the cross section of an ear of corn is indicative of the national scope of the organ- ization, as is also the American eagle. An extract from the creed of the Future Farmer is as follows: I believe that to live and work on a good farm is pleasant as well as challenging. The F. F. A. enjoyed a very successful year under the leadership and direction of Richard Pierson, president, and Mr. Fleming, adviser. HOME EC CLUB The aim of every member of the Home Ec Club is to be of service to her school, her home, and her community, as well as to improve her own abilities in the household arts. It is her firm belief that she learns by doing, hence she welcomes op- portunities to be active. Among the activities for the past year were a com- bined hike and picnic, a Christmas party, a birthday party, a mother and daugh- ter banquet, and a party for the F. F. A. Club. On May 4 twenty-five girls attended a district rally at Streator. In addition, the club sponsored a l'f iefit show and sold candy at several farm implement days to raise money. Three girls were sent to the state home economics convention in Chicago in Novem- ber. This year a local pin has been secured for our club. The officers for this year were Roberta Duffield, president, Nona Postle- wait, vice president, Inez Thompson, treasurer, Viola Fundell, secretary, and Vera june Hayden, scrap book reporter. The work was carried on under the capable direction of Miss Malsbury.

' Page Forty-Eight f Page Forty-Ninu 1 5 Page Fifty nb fa H NIJ 5 i A A i I-II-TRI Miss Genevieve Ashdown is the leader of one of our most active school groups, the Hi-Tri. This is a national organization, and its membership is open to all girls of the high school. The chief aim of the club is to instruct the girls in the building of good character. Each class elects its own officers, those of the senior class making up the advisory group for the others. Many opportunities are given for the girls to meet new people and make new friends at the various Hi-Tri conferences. The annual Hi-Tri camp offers the same advantages. At the monthly meetings sub- jects of interest and importance to the girls are discussed. The Hi-Tri is the sponsor of the weekly Twi- light Matinees to which the entire student body is invited. This year jane Hussey is president of the senior group. Shirley Smith assists her as vice president, and Dorothy Samuelson as secretary. The junior girls elected Marjorie Buchaus as president, Mary Lu Shaffer as vice president, and Helen Bryant as secretary. The sophomore officers are Gladys Lenihan, president, Doris johnson, vice president, and Virginia Young, secretary. Maybeth Shaffer is president of the freshmen, Edna Schnuerer is vice president, and Mary Schoenberger is secretary. Girls of the Hi-Tri entertained their mothers at a tea in the cafeteria on April 25. The Hi-Tri class of 1940 may be remembered for the picnic table they purchased for the school. H I - Y The Princeton chapter of the Hi-Y Club was organized again in the early part of this school year to uphold its expressed purpose, To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Since a club without advisers is like a traveler in a foreign coun- try without a guide, Mr. Shaffer and Mr. Cardle became the selected counselors. Earl Wolf was elected president, Bob Duffield, vice president, George Rink, secretary, and joe Seibel treasurer. At Christmas time, the members lived up to their creed by distributing baskets of food and good things to cheer the hearts of those who aren't quite so fortunate as we are. In the week set aside for needy children by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Pearl Buck, and Dorothy Canfield Fisher, the Hi-Y distrib- uted banks to the homerooms and helped this worthy cause. These are just two examples of the many projects undertaken and carried out for the benefit of others. In the spring, the basketball flc-or was the setting of many exciting games staged by various teams composed of interested members. This activity exemplifies the spirit of personal development from a physical standpoint. Spiritually, the Hi-Y Club isa building and proving ground for standards of Christian character and conduct. Princeton has been represented at various Hi-Y conferences, and it is the desire of all to have the local chapter continue next year, challenging it to reproduce the achievements accomplished this year. ' Page Fifty-One ASl-HNGTON lRVlNG, the great American author, once said, There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse, Change trom monotonous routine is an essential ot lite. Nothing is more stimulating than occupation at a new scene ot duty, meeting new people, having new experiences. Outstanding personalities are thus compounded, Because ot universal interest in sports, our young people ot today employ physical education as a means of relieving the monotony of daily events. The benef tits derived trom rigorous training lor participation in com- petitive sports is revealed in the annals ot ancient Sparta. A hardier people has never lived. With a variety ot sports ranging from tranguil tishing, as detended by lzaak Walton, to the more vigorous games like tennis, all can indulge in at least one type of sports. Athletics today in the torm ol basketball, tootball, tennis, track, and other such activities which are ottered in our high school are commendable for the change which they otter, tor the sound mind and body with which they reward every athlete, and tor the spirit ot cooperation they bring about in inter-school competition, l4l1I'L'L' 0 FOOTBALL CLAYTON SHIPP BOB PIPER BOB DUFFIELD JACK STAPLES GEORGE RICHARDS BOB YA'IAIi5 JOHN BISRGIN DICK LARSON BILL SMITH XVAYNIZ HANSIZN ART NELSON CHUCK SMITH KENT SMITH JIM MONIIZR ' Page Fifty-Four TI-IE SEASON OF x39 iw' X my ,fm .if Q4 545 R., 1- + in 1:i111t1i7:, -' 1,1-2 ...'-- - ,wa , -xiv fl' ,,.,,,,.,..., Lib The Princeton Tigers, under the tutelage of Coach Foster Keagle, opened the most successful season in over a decade against Walnut, Little Eight Champions, with a tally of 42 to 7. A week of practice put the Tigers in excellent shape to trounce the Flying Geese of Wethersfield, with a score of 31 to 7. Little Trophy jug, I Love Thee was the theme of the DePue battle. With Staples piling up over half the Tiger yardage, the scoreboard read Princeton 39, DePue 0. The game of the year was with the Boilermakers of Kewanee. Princeton fired the Boilers and melted out a glorious 12 to 7 victory. George Richards caught a once in a lifetime pass to put the Tigers on top. In the midst of an icy blast and clouds of superstition the Bengel men bowed to Ottawa for their first defeat of 7 to O. Slushing through mud and rain at Galva, Princeton trailed at the half, but came back strong in the second period to win 21 to 12. Mendota invaded Bryant Field on Homecoming night to put in a bid for victory. The Tigers, led by Bob Duffield, put Princeton 6 points ahead after 12 successive plunges at the line. A blocked punt on the Tigers' goal line tied the score as the game ended. Lady Fate was against the Tigers at Dixon, and the second defeat of the season came in one of the toughest games of the year, with a 7 to 6 score. Princeton 40, Geneseo, 6. That's the way we Signed the Armistice with Geneseo. This game also brought to a close the fighting careers of our nine valiant seniors!-Captains Duffield and Staples, Art Nelson, Kent Smith, George Richards, Bob Piper, Dick Larson, jim Monier and Wayne Hansen. Next fall the blue and gray warriors will be led by Captain-elect Shipp, Bill Smith, Charles Smith, Bob Yates, and john Bergin. Their efforts will be greatly needed as the Tigers' initiation into the North Central Conference will take place at that time.

A section of bleachers large enough to seat the entire group was reserved at all games for their use. The Pep Club is composed of two members of each of the fifteen home rooms. All home room and class cheer- leaders are automatically made members of the club. The four school cheer- leaders, Nona Postlewait, Esther Tobin, jean Cass, and Inez Thompson, led their cheers. President of the Pep Club, Mary Lou Robinson, conducted the meetings and helped to plan several pep assemblies the club put on during the year. 0 BASKETBALL CFORCIYZ RICHARDS LYLII CILDERMASTFR BOB YATFS RHP MI.R!II1ll MR.

SMITH ' Pago lflftyhlfight Basketball mentor of the Princeton Tigers, Foster Keagle, issued first call notices for organized prac- tice on November 20, two weeks before the first hardwood encounter with Ottawa. Two letter men, George Richards and Captain Gus Bergin, answered the call. Others who reported were Roger Swan, Bob Yates, Bob Duffield, Roger Mercer, Clayton Shipp, Bill Smith, Lyle Gildermaster, Art Fleming, Bob Frantzen, Gilbert Brown and Burton Nelson. The Tigers dropped the season's opener to a more experienced Ottawa squad by a score of 44 to 25. Richards was high point man with 11 points. The team showed improvement a week later as it trounced Bradford, 30 to 8. Appearing for the first time in the North Central Illinois Conference in a hard pitched battle with the big DeKalb quintet, the Tigers outscored their opponents in the first two quarters, but were over- taken in the third quarter, losing by a score of 37 to 26. On the following Tuesday night the Blue and Grey team netted a 46 to 35 victory over Sheffield. The Tigers hit an off-form stride when DePue and Buda beat them on Friday and Saturday respec- tively. DePue triumphed to the tune of 34 to 29 and Buda won 28 to 27. The Tigers defeated the Henry quintet 31 to 25 on the following Tuesday. Princeton dropped its record game in the new loop to Belvidere by a score of 34 to 18. On the following night Princeton lashed a ragged-looking Walnut squad 48 to 16. Coach Keagle was able to substitute profusely. The third crack at a victory in the North Central Conference fell short on Friday, january 5, when the Tigers suffered a 36 to 24 defeat at the hands of Sterling. The next week the Bengals conquered Geneseo in home gym, 39 to 19, and lost to Mendota, 38-30. On the following Tuesday the Tigers in a thrilling game avenged by a score of 32 to 31 the earlier defeat handed them by DePue. A tall, well co-ordinated Dixon quintet beat the Tigers on Friday, 41 to 19. The next game, at Wethersfield, was a 33 to 36 defeat for Princeton. The Tigers' second game with Belvidere again found the Tigers on the short end of the score. The long range shooting of the Belvidere hoopsters overcame Princeton's early lead. At the final gun the score was 47 to 28. On the following Friday the Tigers journeyed to Sterling where they were mowed down by a count of 48 to 27. Led by two classy forwards, the Walnut cagers whipped the Tigers 47 to 32. The small floor seem- ed to handicap the Tigers, The Princeton hoopsters won their first Conference game the next Friday night in a heads-up game against Mendota by a score of 45 to 32. At DeKalb an attempt to avenge an earlier defeat was unsuccessful. Despite a last minute rally by the Tigers the game ended at 39 to 32. After dropping a 47 to 37 contest to Hall, the Tigers ended their regular playing schedule on Fri- day, February 23, against the tall, accurate Dixonites. The boys from Dixon trounced the Tigers 58 to 23. TOURNAMENT GAMES The week of january 22 to 27 at Princeton was the scene of the heroic storv of a little band of Tiger basketeers, their ranks riddled by illness and ineligibility, who triumphed over the highly rated Man- lius, DePue, and Wyanet squads to fall to the Red Devils of Hall Township by one point in the last ten seconds of the final game of the 21st annual Bureau County Basketball Tournament. The final score was 33 to 32. REGIONAL The Tigers went to Mendota for the Regional Tournament and yielded to the LaSalle-Peru quintet, 54 to 28. The LaSalle-Peru team later won the tournament.

These were Captain Dick Berlin, who excelled last year in the 440 and on the relay team, Bill Horton, a sprinter, Bob Schoenberger, a half-miler, Dale and Bob Duffield, relay and weight men, and Bob Piper, a hurdler. Other experienced tracksters who bolstered up the squad were Bill Pierson, Kent and Bill Smith, Staples, White, Lay, Richards, Dick Horton and Wayne Hansen. The Tigers opened the season in a dual meet with Toulon on April 11. Princeton was outclassed in nearly every event. The Toulon Trojans easily won the meet by a score of 72V2 to 43lf2. At Geneseo Relays the following Saturday, the Tigers placed well in a few events and Dick Berlin won second in the 880. The Tigers placed fifth in the meet. A week later, at the Bradford Relays, Princeton showed con- siderably better form. On Tuesday, April 26, the Blue and Gray lads won their first track encounter in a dual meet with Tiskilwa. On the following Friday the Tigers displayed one of their best performances of the year in the Galva Relays, taking fourth place. The final standings in Class A were as follows: Quincy, Moline, Geneseo, Princeton, Kewanee, Peoria Woodruff, East Moline, and Galesburg. On May 2 Bryant Field was the scene of a quadrangular meet with Sterling, Kewanee, and Malden. The teams placed in the following order: Sterling, Kewanee, Princeton, Malden. Princeton placed second in a triangular meet with DePue and Mendota, and also in a similar event with Bradford and Buda. The annual Bureau County Track and Field Meet, held at Bryant Field, on May 20, ended in a tie between Princeton and Walnut. The Tigers' points came mostly from their relay teams. All three teams won firsts. Schoenberger won the mile event for Princeton's lone individual first place. Berlin in the quarter-mile, Pierson in the vault and Dale Duffield in the shot provided second place scores. Staples and Richards won third place ribbons in the 100 Yard dash and high jump respectively. Dick Horton and Richards took fourth in hurdles and javelin respectively. Steele and Kent Smith captured fifth places in the mile and discus. Competing in the North Central Illinois Conference for the first time, the Princeton Tigers demon- strated the meekness expected of a newcomer, ending with a modest total of eleven points for sixth place. Dick Berlin captured second place in the 440, Kent Smith took third in the discus, and Bill Pierson tied for third in the pole vault. Princeton's first conference winner is George Richards who took first place in the high jump. The boys who won letters werefseniors: Dale Duffield, Bill Pierson and Delmar Farrell, juniors: Dick Berlin, Bill Horton. Bob Piper, George Richards, Harold Steele, jack Staples, Kenneth White, Bob Schoenberger and Kent Smith, sophomores: Dick Horton, Roger Miller, Dan jenkins and Bruce Piper, freshmen: Lawrence Monier and Bob Yates. Dick Berlin is the boy who is known for his year-round training schedule. During the hot summer months he is often seen working out on the track, and during winter he keeps in shape by exercising in the gym. Dick has been running the quarter-mile for the past two years. He has never placed lower than second and is usually higher than that. He also does very commendable work in the half-mile and the 880 relay. All this accounts for his re-election as track captain this year. TENNIS The district tennis tournament was held in May, 1939, at Princeton. Winners by a score of 3 to 1 from the Sterling team were the P, H. S. boys, Lyle Gildermaster, Bob Miller, joe Seibel, Bob Weeks, Gordon Trawick, and Roger Mercer. Gildermaster and Weeks won the tennis doubles and so were eli- gible for entrance into the state tournament. At Champaign they were defeated by Sterling in the opening matches of the state meet. Mr. Lund was coach of the tennis team during the 1938-39 season. ' P igc Sixty-One NOON-I-IOUR RECREATION PROGRAM A brand new project at Princeton High School this year is the Noon-Hour Recreation Program. Operating under the direction of the sch0ol's physical education experts, Mr. Ewart and Miss Sturtz, the program is designed especially for those students who stay in the school building during the noon hour. Perhaps the outstanding characteristic of the plan is its provision for all kinds of activities and inter- ests. Recreational sports requiring various degrees of skill and proficiency occupy much attention. Even the inexperienced athlete is able to find some type of activity in which he can participate. Boxing and wre:tling are highly popular with boys who want a strenuous work-out. Volleyball, aerial darts, deck ten- nis, and basket shooting appeal to those having a taste for moderation in their exercise. Many girls, as well as boys, enjoy themselves at these games. Still other games, such as table tennis, shuffleboard, and box hockey are popular with many of the students. For those who wish to take their fun sitting down, there are such games as Contack and Chinese Checkers. Not only does this program provide activity for boys and girls, but it also encourages wholesome and natural associations between the two groups. It is assumed that boys and girls who have learned to play together in a perfectly friendly and honest fashion will carry this spirit of comradeship over into other phases of lifeg and it is this principle of co-recreation which the noon-hour program attempts to foster. Evidence of the increasing popularity of the recreational program is to be found in the record of at- tedance. Wlmereas only six people took part in the first program, the number Shortly mounted to fifty. The program is still in its infancyg however, now that it has a proper beginning, there is every indication that it will expand to include nearly every person who lunches at the school. INTRAIVIURAL ACTIVITIES The intramural activities are so designed as to give to those boys who do not participate in a varsity sport an opportunity to have healthful competition among themselves. A wide field of sports is offered to each boy, and he may enter as many of them as he chooses. His choice may be in basketball, boxing, tennis, ping pong, checkers, chess, bowling, and track. Some fellows who show their ability in a certain sport, say basketball, are transferred to the varsity squad where they can develop into first string members. The most important intramural sport is basketball. Home rooms battle for the championship after a round robin tournament. A play-off is held for the winners. This year home room 106 won the championship of the A class and 108 won class Tennis gave us a champion in joe Seibel, followed by Gilbert Brown, who was a close competitor. The supervisor of the activities is Mr. Cy Ewart with the following board to assist: Bob Duf- field, president, Bill Horton, vice president, jim Yeazel, secretary, Bill Smith, treasurer. The golf team, under the direction of Coach Lowry had a very successful season, winning four games out of a total of six, and tieing one. Bob White, North Central Conference champion, was first in the district and sixth in the state. Loberg placed third in the district. Lettermen were the following: Bob White, Ellsworth Loberg, Lawrence DeVore, and Ronald Anderson. 0 Page Sixty Tvso 5 CALENDAR SEPTEMBER fUnemployed go back to work as P. H.

' Page Sixtyliiglit PLANNING PCR POSTERITY To the first settlers of our nation, the forests that stretched in an almost unbroken expanse were ob- stacles in whose dark and secret recesses lurked ene- mies both human and animal. These virgin timbers were ruthlessly obliterated in the conquest of our con- tinent. At a later time a few far-sighted people such as F. B. Hough, the first government forester, who served from 1876 to 1885, warned that protection and proper management of forests in the future would be vitally necessary. It was through the efforts of B. F. Fernow, a Germain trained forester, that a system of forest reserves-now the National Forests, was established during President Harrison's administration. The first practical attempt to salvage and conserve our trees was made by Gifford Pinchot and Theodore Roose- velt. They aided the cause by having money appropri- ated for conservation purposes. Incidentally, Congress, and not a few people, were bitterly opposed to the idea. The antagonistic viewpoint of the Senate and the House of Representatives made it impossible for any bill on the subject to be passed until 1936 when the Flood Control Act became a law. What is conservation? Conservation does not nec- essarily mean preservation, nor does it mean to cut down no trees, to undertake a vast program of re- forestation, or merely provide an adequate supply of forest products. Its main objective is to add to human welfare. This purpose may be applied to the resources of the forest and their benefits. Water, one of the most important resources, is the life blood of the irrigated crops grown in the West which help to feed the world. Thanks to water power and hydro-electric plants, numerous industries em- ploying many thousands of people are made possible. Wooded areas are invaluable in lessening the dam- aging effects of erosion and floods. An example of the latter is that of one of the tributaries of the Susque- hanna River, where, in 1936, nine-tenths of the pre- cipitation on a certain potato field and one thousand pounds of soil from every plowed acre were swept away. On a neighboring plot of ground which was forested, only one-half of one per cent of rain and no soil were lost. Forage, another resource of the woods, furnishes food for more than one million seven hundred fifty thousand big game animals each summer in public parks. Wildlife of the type that is rapidly decreasing in the United States can also be classed among the re- sources of the forest. To many people, the woods afford amusement and entertainment in a spiritual and cultural manner. As a relief from the stress and strain of twentieth cen- tury life, we might even include recreation as a re- source of the beautiful woodlands. ' Page Sixty-Nine Lumber, fuel, alcohol, rayon, paper, perfumes and plastics all come from trees. Their contribution to the public is estimated at more than one hundred million dollars annually. During President Franklin Roosevelt's term of office, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Taylor Grazing Act, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Farm Security Administration have all helped in the solution of forest restoration. The Depression Army, commonly known as the Civilian Conservation Corps, has come into being and solved the unemployment problem of underprivileged boys by replanting cer- tain areas devastated of vegetation in previous years. Their soil erosion control, fire fighting, and their battle against insect destruction are all remarkable and laudable pursuits. Now, under the 1940 Agricultural Adjustment Act, farmers may earn as much as thirty dollars by planting trees under certain specified conditions. Pri- vate owners of barren lands can thus aid the cause as the publicly owned parks have already done. Forest fires annually destroy many beautiful trees. With mountain look-outs, government foresters, C. C. C. boys and the public participating they can be greatly reduced in the future. Education of the public in the components of forest pyrology would be ad- vantageous. Here are a few facts on the subject rec- ommended by Dr. E. H. Clapp, associate chief of the United States forest service, which everyone should know: fab laws governing combustion of forest fuels in the open. tbl fire prevention techniques. fc, fire suppression, including generalship and tactics, the tools and instruments of this craft. fd, the accurate determination of all forms of damage due to fire. feb the beneficial uses of fire. tfj the protective standards of objectives which fire control should attempt to attain. The destruction of trees by insects has lately been brought to the foreground in our community. The f1lfI'lIl'7'l-ffl zfvrmrlu which attacks elms in the larva stage, has assailed the elms in Princeton. Surely the people here can and will continue to take immediate precautionary measures in guarding against the ruin of our picturesque trees. This job of national conservation and reforestation will take generations to complete but will ultimately provide better and more stable living conditions, will maintain continuous forest crops, and rehabilitate both people and trees. -CAROLYN SAVAGE tCompetitive Senior Essay, awarded first place by Princeton WcJman's Clubj PIC 2 1 ' Page Seventy OF THOUGHTS AND THINGS IT COULD BE YOU Spring is the hardest time of the whole year to go to school. As you walk along at noon or in the evening, everything is nice and green. The birds are singing, and the warm breeze flips your clothes and hair around. By the time you are in view of the school building, you have built up a strong distaste for its peopled rooms and corridors. Well then, why go in there and sit all day? Let's skip school, shall we? ' So you climb into somebocly's car, along with several other escapists, and set out to see the country in spring. Somebody will want to go down by the canal and take a nap in the sun. Another sugges- tion is to go fishing in the creek. Let's go out to the club and play a round of golf. Let's drive over to Tis- kilwa and see Mary. Why don't we go for a swim in the viaduct? Sooner or later you find yourself in some fairly shady spot where you can lie down and just talk. Someone will drop off to sleep while the rest are talking over some important matter-such as dates for the Prom or what to do this summer. Presently time for a repast creeps up, the sleeper is rudely awakened, and you all go slowly back to town, another half day of school gone. -,IANE COLL PANTOMIME Spring danced through my garden, Beckoning gay flowers. Spring danced in my garden And whiled away the hours. Summer hummed in my garden, A beautiful voice had she, And oh! she hated to leave us, But it was meant to be. Fall waltzed through my garden, Spiriting away the leaves. Fall waltzed through my garden On many chilly eyes. Winter stalked through my garden, Withering with his touch All of my gay flowers Wlicm had loved life so much. -LAURETTA ELLIOTT PLEA Please, God, when my time comes to die Will you see fit That I know a bit Beforehand? There are so many things I would like to do Before coming to You Forever. I want the wind in my face, The scent of old lace, Before I face Eternity. The smell of autumn smoke, To give the fire one last poke Before I go. To watch stars twinkling-bright, In the velvet gown of Nightf To know that things are right Between us. --LAURETTA ELLIOTT ' Page Seventy-One TWIRLING Imagination, coordination, skill, and the ability to perform before others with ease are a few of the neces- sary requirements of a good twirler and drum major. ln order to be able to write up routines, to learn new twirls from seeing them performed, imagination has to be ex- ercised. Coordination and skill have to be developed, but the former should be apparent before one begins to learn. Skill is acquired through long, regular hours of practiceg and many bruises, broken finger-nails and aching mus- cles are the price to pay. One thing a drum major must do is to smile all the time and look as though she or he were having a wonder- ful time. No matter how hard one is working, how hard one gets hit, or how disgusted one gets, the audience must think he loves it, and if the baton is dropped, to use a fancy pick-up will thrill an audience and make them forget the mistake. When a twirler shows an audience how fast, how well, and skillfully he or she can twirl, behind that show are hours of work and other grief. It is too bad people don't realize exactly how true that is, for twirling has to be treated as seriously as any school subject or any class play. Q --INTARY TRIMBLL NATIVE MONOTONE Chant! Chant! Chant! Listen-do you hear it? Coming closer, coming, A slow and steady monotone, A drab and dreary monotone, Coming from the natives Upon the other shore. Chant! Chant! Chant! Listen-do you heart it? How can one help but hear it now! Like a moan through the wilderness, Like a groan through the wilderness, Slowly dying away In this weird atmosphere. ffLOlS LEMKE THE SONG OF A CHILD The song of a child, so carefree and gay Found rest in the hearts of the sad, The weary, the hopeless, the evil and good Were blessed by that song and made glad. The voice of that child made an evil man pause As he made his way down the streetg And his heart was melted and penitent made By those notes, so bell-like and sweet. A crippled child frail, with pain-racked limbs, Heard the notes of that song crystal clear, And it filled her soul, with a sad, sweet calm, And delighted her listening ear. May ever my deeds and my words bring joy To this sorrowing, wandering race, That they too may stand with courage and strength, The hardships of life to face. -MYRTLE I..
