OCTOBER There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir; We must rise and follow her, When from every hill of flame She calls, and calls each vagabond by name. — Bliss Carman.

HAIL. HAIL. THE GANG ' S ALL HERE Saturday, September 21, sees both varsity and lightweight squads traveling to Downers Grove. The big fellows manage to slip through for their first triumph, 7-6, and the bantams win, 19-0. In the Suburban League opener, on September 28. before a crowd of dads, the heavies and the frosh- sophs both lose to New Trier. In their initial appear- ance of the season, the yearlings are stampeded. 19-0. The varsity drops a heartbreaker, 13-6, as New Trier scores in the last minute of play, to begin an unbroken string of victories. The heavies go big time in the same game, sporting the tops in new football equipment. Blue and white, form-fitting, gen-u-wine silk pants, unique in high school football, make their debut. New helmets, blue and white jerseys, and new shoes and socks complete the ensembles. On the same day the jay-vees and the lights both win. Matte ' s charges trip Oak Park, 7-0, while the midgets tri- umph over Maine. 6-0. L. W. Remlcy is the heavyweight football coach, assisted by Chuck Kassel, S. O. Storby, and O. H. Matte. Herman L. Rider is handling the frosh-sophs: Fred J. Hatley, the lightweights: and Mr. Matte, the junior varsity. The former heavyweight football coach, Louis F. Slimmer, has been made athletic director, and will devote his time exclusively to intra- mural sports. Intramural managers for boys ' sports are elected in the home rooms the second week of school. They will organize the home room teams, collect entry fees, in- form the players of the schedule, and keep a record of all games played, reporting the results to Athletic Director Slimmer. The first activity of the girls ' physical education department is the annual physical examination of all girls, conducted during the first two weeks of school. Dr. C. M. Weinberg, examining physician, reports that the girls are in a better condition of health than in any previous year. Largely as a result of this examination, they are divided into three groups; regular gym. restrictive gym. and hygiene classes. This method of classification assures each girl of physical education work that is correct for her. Freshman girls are guests of the Girls ' Athletic association at the annual picnic, held at Thatcher ' s wood on September 19. Wieners and other good things to eat are rapidly devoured. An assembly held September 12, in the auditorium, had introduced G. A. A. activities to freshman and sophomore girls. Jennie Hess, president: June Radke, vice-president: May Taylor, secretary: and Beatrice Miller, treasurer, urge them to participate in sports. Miss Mary Wheeler is faculty sponsor of the association. September 27 begins the first week of after-school sports. Seven hundred twenty-five girls turn out for hockey, life saving, tap dancing, or soccer, under the respective supervision of Miss Mary Wheeler, Miss Eva Eddy, Miss Dorothy Jackson, and Miss Gertrude Grisier. Eighty-five girls dive into life saving: eighty hockey stars take to the field: two hundred fifty aspiring Ruby Keelers. Eleanor Powells, et al. go tapping on opportunity ' s floor: and the rest of the seven hundred twenty-five are kicking the ball around out on the soccer field. The curtain falls on the first scene of the Passing Show of 1935-36. September has indicated the time, the place, and some of the leading characters of the great three-act drama. Page 26
