Theatre pronounced the remodelling of the past season a huge success, not only from the standpoint of added conveniences for both puppets and pup- peteers, but also because of the beauty of the new surroundings. To aid in costuming, set-building, and program-printing, an entire wing of shops was added to the theater proper. Another wing has been provided for the perusal of Shakespearean and other classics and the studying of past successes and failures and the psychology of the characterizations in the offerings of the playhouse. A well-appointed library, three rooms in length, affords ample facilities for elaborating upon such research, The puppeteers are highly pleased with their new dining room and the added storage space, indirect lighting, and new furnishings in their offices. Stairways are divided into two lanes to relieve congested traffic, halls are wider and doors set back in the walls so as not to conflict with passers-by, as are the lockers, economizing on space and eliminating the necessity of frequent dustings. Even the puppets seem to perk up with the new ventilating system which keeps the various sanctums of research at the proper humidity and at an even, comfortable temperature. The Board of Directors look forward to a brilliant and highly successful season. DPEIXIS IN ENIJXRCEED THEATRE X wx 1 L,-L .

The high school is justly proud of these two units and of the Board which instigated them. Heading the Riverside-Brookfield High School Board of Education is Mr. John D. Clancy with seven years of service behind him. Mr. E. M. Trone has also served the high school for seven years. Mrs. T. H. Ludlow and Mr. Ross O. Hinlcle have contributed their support for the past five years. Mrs. C. B. Allen has served for three years. The fascinating adventures of Captain lrving Johnson's round-the-world cruise and the very timely talk of that eminent journalist, Mr. Frederick Snyder, entitled, Keeping Ahead of the Headlines were among the worth while programs for the entire student body financed by the Board of Education in cooperation with the Parent-Teacher Association during the past school year.

Kelly has inaugurated many progressive and worthwhile changes. An extensive guidance program now in full swing was put into operation under Mr. Kelly's direction. Much credit is also due Mr. Kelly for his part last spring and summer in super- vising the construction of the new wings to the building. Mr. Kelly obtained his Master's degree at the University of Chicago and has done an additional year of graduate work beyond this degree. Our superintendent is a favorite with both students and faculty members because of his ready smile, keen sense of humor, and his professional accomplishments.

Guidance Program Aids Student ln Solving Problems Guidance has come to be an integral part of the progressive high school program. The purpose of any guidance program is to help the student make the most of the opportun- ities offered in the high school whether in the class room or in activities outside the class room. Guidance attempts to help the student find those things for which he is best suited and to develop those phases of his personality which otherwise might remain undiscovered. Counseling carries the teacher-pupil relation- ship outside the realm of the text book and attempts to help the student discover himself as an individual. High school sudents are faced with more complex problems each year. In an effort to meet the needs of a rapidly increasing and changing student body, the number of sub- jects from which a student may select has increased many fold. From this array it is very difficult for the student to select those subjects which best fit his needs. The nature and types of vocations change so rapidly to- day that students cannot always know what courses to pursue to best fit him for his cho- sen vocation. The student must decide whether to go to college, enter a trade school, or go to work on finishing high school. The student who drifts along without making up his mind about these things, whether from lack of sufficient knowledge or from negligence, will be serious- ly handicapped. There is so much competition for available jobs today that a student can- not afford to wait until he has left school to begin to find out about the world of work if he expects to make a place for himself later on. Guidance attempts to help the student solve such problems. lt cannot make up the student's mind for him nor does it attempt to do so. All it can do is to help him secure the information. lt helps him learn about himself-his interests and aptitudes, so that he may solve intelligently the many problems which he confronts in trying to plan his future. Guidance at R. B. recognizes the fact that every student is faced with many such prob- lems. Each teacher takes an active part in helping to put the student in the way of solv- ing these problems for himself. Counseling with the pupil who is doing unsatisfactory work in an effort to bring his work up to a satisfactory level, helping him plan his pro- gram of studies, checking with him to see that his program will admit him to college or that it is best suited to his vocational plans, testing him to discover his interests and apti- tudes, giving out information about the vari- ous opportunities in the curriculum and in the extra-curricular program are all phases of an integrated program which attempts to help the pupil adjust himself to his school life and intelligently plan for the future. In the pictures at the left we see: top left, Mr. Arthur, chairman of the Guidance pro- gram, looking over the Prospectus of Courses that was published last year and making notes on revisions to be made in it this year, top right, Mr. Peebles, chairman of the senior Guidance work, and a representative from Beloit College discussing with Mary Rachel Anspach and Alene Gendon the opportunities offered in that college, center, Mr. Vance, junior chairman, explaining to Bob Bestler, Allan Jones, and Dewitt Drury how to rate themselves on their Interest Inventories, lower left, Mr. Dudley, freshman chairman, check- ing up on the activities of one of the fresh- men, and Mr. Kaiser, sophomore chairman, counselling Charles Zirzow about a possible Change in his program. ornmercc Students Get Practical xpcricncc ln School Qlfices Miss Ruth M. Cleary Ctop insetl is the head of the commerce depart- ment which is one of the largest in the high school. One of the department's most important courses is Office Practice which offers practical experience with office equipment and routine, for the students who take this course must work a specified number of hours in school offices before credit is granted. Office Practice student, Janet Groth, is taking dictation from the Ediphone Cin the upper left cornerl while lrwin Jecha runs off a stencil on the mimeograph machine, and Margaret Noha makes ready to slip-sheet for him. Ingrid Swanson is operating the adding machine. The office next to the bookstore is also the scene of attendance taking for the entire school, which is done under the supervision of the commerce department. Dorothy and Ruth U'Ren are shown at the upper right marking the absentees on the home room slips which are thumb-tacked to a large slanting board. The Office Practice student also gains valuable experience by working in the school's main office several days a week where he gets experience as a receptionist, as a switchboard operator, and as a secretary. A fascinating part of the Salesmanship course is shown at the lower left where Eugenie Steinhausen, Marie Damore, and Vivian Savaglio are arranging the display for the bookstore showcase, Also in connection with this course, the students are allowed to work in the bookstore. Kathleen McKinney is trying her sales technique on Dorothy Schulz at the lower right. Miss Cleary's capable assistant, Miss Elizabeth Lenksas, is at the cash register. She is a graduate of Riverside-Brookfield. ln addition to typing, two years of bookkeeping and shorthand are offered at Riverside-Brookfield, and there is also a freshman business train- ing course. Besides her classes in salesmanship, office practice, and commercial law, Miss Cleary supervises the work for the office practice students in ll5 and manages the bookstore. Miss Smith, center left, has classes in shorthand and typing, as does Miss Barrick who also teaches a class in bookkeeping. Miss Barrick, lower center, is a new teacher this year at Riverside-Brookfield. Mr. l-loffman, center right, teaches bookkeeping, business training, and commercial arithmetic. 5 M ' M -.Qtr 1 9-. 4,35 Wu Q, Sr' -ef . 5. 4 S. ,Q-fa 4- Q I J , 1 f' 7 ' ,f as A 6 f-lorrie lzconornics Courses Give practical Training Mrs. Sadie Lussenhop, left inset, teaches Foods and has charge of the school cafeteria. Miss Ruth Daum, right inset, teaches both Clothing and Foods. The Foods classes have assisted in the preparation and serving of the Athletics banquet, a P.T.A. dinner, and Lyons and Kiwanis Clubs dinners. The girls in the freshman Foods classes have set the tables on these occasions and the Advanced Foods students have done the serving. This year an experiment has been con- ducted to determine whether or not a semes- ter course in Foods should be offered to boys next year. The boys in the Industrial Arts 9 course were given a six weeks' unit in cook- ing. They learned how to prepare meals and served a dinner to their mothers. The Clothing classes, under Miss Daum's direction, have made costumes for the music program, Melodic Moods, and the physical education demonstration. The attractive, col- orful costumes have contributed greatly to the success of these programs. After the cos- tumes have been used, they are turned over to Miss Daum, who is custodian of the school's rather extensive wardrobe of costumes that have been accumulated in the past seven years, The costumes are then ready for use when any future need arises. A semester course in Personal Regimen has also been offered by the Home Economics department. In this course business and family etiquette is studied, the budgeting of a salary is discussed, and attention is given to the development of one's own personality and to the improvement of one's personal appearance. A course in Home Management has been given to senior girls by Mrs. Lussenhop. ln this class the girls have had units on budget- ing, the elementary principles of interior decorating, first aid care of the invalid, infant hygiene, etc. ln connection with this course a pre-school has been established at R.B.l-l.S. this year as a W.P.A. project. The girls of the Home Management class are given the opportunity to observe the children of the school and take turns in assisting Miss Spertius, the director, with the children. A series of lectures on child care was given the girls by Miss Spertius. UPPER LEFT: The girls in the beginning Foods classes set the tobles for the High School Association dinner.

V Une-Third of Students in l2B.l-l.S. are Enrolled in lndustrial Arts The Industrial Arts Department has just completed its first year in its new shops. These new quarters and the prospect of new and better equipment have increased not only the enrollment but the number of courses offered. The total enrollment in the shops this year was 307. Courses are offered in these branches of shop work: wood- working, metal work, and printing. Series of six or nine week courses in each branch of shop work are offered to the freshman classes in this depart- ment. This system gives students the opportunity to become acquainted with all of the industrial arts. The classes in metal work were handicapped this year because of the lack of equipment. This fault will be corrected before the opening of school next year. Mr. Richert, however, was successful in keeping the boys interested, and they completed many useful and beautiful projects. The woodworking shops added a course for girls under Mr. Shuey's instruction this year. lt has proved popular as well as interesting to those enrolled. The girls have proved themselves good workers. Mr. Haack, who is head of the Industrial Arts Department, teaches the printing classes. They print the Clarion, all the school literature, and often take printing orders from organizations. They are kept very busy. The teachers, shown in the insets are, top to bottom: R. V. Richert, O. C. l-laack, and W. A. Shuey. ,ffl PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SUPERVISES HEALTH PROGRAM The health and physical education work this year has been under the supervision of Miss Virginia Boyle and Mr, W. Alfred Dudley. The freshmen classes met three times each week, two days for physical activity and one day for health instruction. Besides the regular class- work several local doctors were invited in, as guest speakers, for these classes. The sophomore classes met twice each week and the juniors one day each week. l-lealth examinations and tuberculosis tests were given again this year by the doctors and dentists of Riverside and Brookfield. These were followed up by letters which were sent to the parents of each student who was examined. X-Ray work was also done at school in the cases where it was necessary. This health pro- gram carried out by the physical education department aims toward a sound body for each boy and girl so that they may enjoy life to its fullestgfree from remediable physical defects. A program of graded activities has been planned so that each year the various skills and techniques involved increase in complexity. lt is hoped that by the end of lhe sophomore and junior years the boys and girls are cble to officiate their own sports. An extensive intramural program has been planned and carried out by the physical education department for both boys and girls, ln this way every student in school has the opportunity to participate in after-school sports. Round robin tournaments were run off at the conclusion of each sport. The year's work in the physical education department culminated in the physical education demonstration which was held in the high school auditorium, May 5. QQ? MUSIC IS POPULAR ELECTIVE Miss Alice Brainerd, whose picture was snapped in the midst of a chorus rehearsal, and Mr. Clarence Peebles, shown as he directs a bond practice, are teachers in the R. B. l-l. S. music department. Although the music subjects are elective, they have proved so popular in the past that two new courses were taught this year by Mr. Peebles, head of the department. The girls in the first semester Music History class traced the development of music from the ancient tribal chants to the modern impressionistic compositions. Students in the second semester elemen- tary theory class learned to recognize key signatures, note values, and intervals, and also how to write simple melodies. The latter class is preliminary to the Advanced l-larmony class that Mr. Peebles will teach next year. Because of the increased number of students, Music Appreciation was offered as an elec- tive rather than a required subject to interested freshmen. Approximately half of the freshmen attended Miss Bi'ainerd's three classes and Mr. Peebles' one class. Miss Brainerd, a talented violinist, directed sectional practice of the string players in the orchestra and also trained a string quartet. This group, consisting of Mary Louise Nelson, Mary Louise Rowland, Betty Clemons, and Louise Nagel, accompanied by Dolores Smith, played for several banquets and church luncheons. Miss Brainerd directs the mixed chorus and girls' glee club. Mr. Peebles led the orchestra and band and gave individual instruction to beginning band and orchestra players. DRAWING DEPARTMENT ADDS ART COURSES N new instructor, Miss Carson, the art section of the Drawing department has already mode itself felt throughout the school with brilliant displays of water colors, figure sketches, and craftwork, such as hand-tooled purses, shoes, and hand-woven woolen scarves, and an astonishing number of bright posters advertising school events. Mr. Vance, head of the department, continued with his instruction in draw- ing, while Miss Carson, located in a new skylighted studio in the shops' wing, has introduced attractive courses in art and design, in which the students have shown much originality and versatility of self-expression. Outdoor 'ket h' s c ing groups add a picturesqueness to the school lawn in warmer weather. ew this year, and boasting the addition of a ' Under Mr, Vance-'s instruction are the courses in Architectural, Machine, and Mechanical Drawing for the boys, and l-louse Planning for irl U g s. pon their registration in Mr. Vance'S classes, all students are given a mechanical aptitude test. g if V. t. V,,,5L . . - . l KW VISUAL AID DEVICES USED IN SCIENCE CLASSES Science is ever becoming one of the most important features in modern life and industry. Our school is eminent in its scientific activities. Mr. I. E. Haebich, at top, is the head of this department, and he also teaches science and biology classes, Mr. K. L. Roth, upper right, tcaches physics, and Mr. M. G. Lott, lower right, teaches chemistry. All the men are well qualified instructors in their fields. Through unavoidable com- plications, the new chemistry equipment was not secured this year but it is hoped that it will ccme next fall. Student experimentation and observa- tion are combined with the usual text- book study and teacher demonstration. Educators say that students learn more readily by the use of visual aids, and a number of worth while films have been rented for use in this department. Moving pictures that correspond with the particular units of study at the time are shown in the classrooms. ,v- QW sw? elif' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SUPERVISES HEALTH PROGRAM The health and physical education work this year has been under the supervision of Miss Virginia Boyle and Mr. W.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT OFFERS SPECIAL COURSES Four years of English are offered to Riverside-Brookfield students with the fourth year an elective course. A course in Creative Writing is also an elective course for those students who have maintained a B average in their first two or three years of English. Special classes have been conducted this year by Mr. l-laas and Mr, Vetter for those students who, for various reasons, have reading difficulties. Great care is taken to determine the cause of the difficulty and then individual help is given to aid the student in remedying the trouble. The Betts Telebinoculars were purchased this year by the high school and the Brookfield grammar school for the purpose of discovering visual defects. Mr. Vetter is shown here, giving a pupil the telebinocular test. Miss Shipley and Mr. l-laas coach students in play productions. Miss l-louston's Creative Writing class produces the Clarion bi-monthly and a group of seniors, under Miss Houston's direction, puts out the ROUSER. Through the cooperation of Miss Ewan, head of the English department, and Miss Cleary, head of the Commerce department, a special three weeks' review of the fundamentals of composition was conducted by Miss Ewan for the Office Practice students. The juniors and seniors of the English classes participated in an essay contest sponsored by the Woman's Reading Club of Riverside. Seven and three dollar prizes were awarded the winners. The freshman and sophomore English classes carried on an essay writing unit in conjunc- tion with the clean-up week activities of the Student Council and Advertising Club. Teachers in the English department are: At top, Miss Ewan, second row, Miss Bare, Miss Houston, Miss Shipley, Miss Frazier, Mr. Haas, at bottom, Mr. Vetter. -11-1.-11 Nw. Q MD.. LANGUAGE STUDENTS STUDY FOREIGN CUSTOMS The language courses at R. B. l-l. S. give the students an opportunity to build up a good foundation in Latin, German, or Spanish. Four years of Latin are offered and two years of both German and Spanish. Miss Moore, right, head of the language department, and Miss Hine, left, teach the Latin, Miss Hine teaches the Spanish, and Miss Frazier, the German. ln addition to the usual work in composition and translation, the classes, through the language clubs and class discussions, study the customs of the people whose language they are learning. During one marking period, for example, the Latin, nine classes were divided into tour discussion groups who treated the subjects: Roman Childhood and Education, Food, Meals, and Daily Life, Roman Slaves, and The Roman Army. At the Roman banquet, given by the Pro Merita Club, Roman food was served in Roman style with the slaves serving, guests washing hands after each course, etc. The foreign language students have attended several foreign movies this year and twenty students attended the meeting of the International Students' Society at Blue lsland.

Af .. xffff ,f'4 f sociAi. Sd.llENCE DEPARTMENT LOCATES IN NEW QUARTERS This year the Social Science department, headed by Mr. Kaiser, top left, has had the benefit of brand new quarters, textbooks, and many new pieces of equipment. Mr. Lybeck, top right, Mr. Carlson, center right, Mr. Thompson, lower left, Miss Hine, Miss Curtis, lower right, and Mr. Peebles are the other teachers in this department, which includes studies in American Government, Sociology, Modern, Ancient, and American History, Occupations, Industrial Geography, and Social Science. ln the latter three courses, the first two of which are elective, an attempt is made to help the freshman find himself and to guide his future course of action while in high school. In American Government and Sociology, each of which is a half-year required course, seniors study the structure of the United States government and the social conditions which prevail in this country. Of the history subjects, the American is required in the junior year. In all of these courses at least one day a week is devoted to the discussion of current events. Such periodicals as Time Maga- zine, The American Observer, and the Weekly News Review are used. This year students of the Social Science department gave two public programs based on their class work. A Parent-Teacher meet- ing was the occasion of one of them when groups from five different classes conducted open forum discussions of five current prob- lems. As a Washington's Birthday assembly program, four students read essays that they had submitted in a DAR. contest on the sub- ject: What I Owe to George Washington FOUR YEARS OF MATH OFFERED BY R. B. H. S. A potential mathematician gets a help- ing hand from Mr. Yager while Mr. Arthur, head of the mathematics depart- ment, director of the guidance program, and ticket sales manager demonstrates a difficult trigonometry theorem on the black board. Miss Courtney explains to her plane geometry students the opera- tion of the slide rule, which is one of the many extra activities which they engage in. The mathematics department offers two one-year courses, algebra for fresh- men, and geometry for sophomores, and four one-semester courses: intermediate algebra, solid geometry, college algebra, and trigonometry, for juniors and se- niors. A special course in general math- ematics is also offered in the freshman year for students who want to take a year of math but do not wish to take algebra.

Brookside, lllinois June 7, i949 Dear Caroline: We were all sorry that you were unable to come to the reunion of the Class of '39 as we missed you greatly. Billie Marie Tuttle, who teaches history at the University of Montana, rode to Brookside with me on the H 84 W lHinds 81 Wilkerson? coast to coast railroad. Kenneth Rath was the conductor. Upon our arrival we immediately went to the hotel. The clerk was Albert Miller and he introduced us to the hostess, Georgia Drahorad. Our waitress at lunch was Dorothy Duffy. The interior of the hotel had been designed by the famous interior decorator, Jeanne Brake. ln the afternoon we visited R. B., saw many friends who teach there, and heard an illustrious lecture about fish hooks, their origin and history, by Donald Kidd. His secretary, Ingrid Swanson, was there also. Jack Harris, the principal of R. B., and his Secretory, Mildred Bernhardt, showed us around the school. Marilyn Corleto is the typing teacher, Evelyn Soldat and Dorothy Schulz are working in the main office and Violet Gorgen, in the bookstore, We peeked in the gym and saw Coach Miles Bocek and girls' gym teacher, Dorothy Wahl. Stellamarie Rein, the debate teacher, and Harlan Harvey, the head of the Social Science department, were in the library with Hope Raymond, the librarian. Louise Jansen teaches Spanish and Helen Peterson, Latin. We saw Eddie Hile sleeping in an empty room and Jack Harris said that Eddie always sleeps in a chair in the school- room. lt's the only way he can get any sleep. That afternoon we met Admiral Jack Fogerty and Secretary of the State Louis Ksander. Admiral Fogerty was accompanied by two of his sailors, Charles Smrt and William Wallwin. He left the radio operator, Robert Vanicek, on board the ship, however. Cablegrams were received from Eugenie Steinhausen and Ruth Tetzlaff, who are explorers in Africa, and Virginia Ander and Mary Elizabeth Griffin who are missionaries in China. Official regrets were received from the U. S. Minister to Brazil, Muriel Mitchell, and one of the diplomats, Jean Caswell. , Miriam Olson, who writes short stories, gave a short talk and the murder mystery novelist, Dorothy Alexander, told of her latest book called The Murdered Mummy. She came with her secretary, Violet Nushardt, and her publisher, lrwin Hesley. That evening we went to a concert given by the Brookside Symphony Orchestra under the direction of HECV Alene Gendon. Harmony Wagher played violin and Francine Muncie, the flute in the orchestra. Margaret McKee was the accompanist. There were two piano duets. One was by Mildred Brchak and Esther Welch and the other by Audrey Hrivnak and Nancy Rowland. Dorothy Lipsey and Ethel Miks gave vocal selections. The next day we decided to visit the town of Brook- side. This was formerly the two towns of Brookfield and Riverside. These two towns have combined and have now a population of l,OO0,000. We drove over the new bridge over the Desplaines. We had to pay toll and Edward Praksa collected the money. A truck driven by Monty Nelson was behind us as we drove to the Anderson-Lenske garage. We were presented with a calendar designed by Phyllis Muse, the commercial artist. As the Baptist Church was nearby, we dropped in to see the minister's wife, formerly Dorothy Adamson, and then drove to the bank to see the president, Jack Gard- ner, and his secretary, Marjorie Ritzmann. Next to the bank was a dressmaker's shop. We went in and met the owner, Edith Hinz, and two of her models, Dorothy Harpham and Jean Bartusch. We were hungry so decided to go to Hill's Drugstore for lunch. Paul Hill is the proprietor and Richard No- votny the soda-clerk. While we were in there Robert Goldstein of Goldstein's Stamp Mart, Norman Paus, director of the YMCA, and Clifford Thygeson, who owns a shoe store, came in and we asked them if they knew where any more alumni were. They pointed to a corner booth and there we saw Cecil Pooler drinking Cokes. ln the Siebert-Damore Chain Store we were waited on by Milton Smith and we paid the cashier, Jeanette Haase. While we were in the store we met Gwen Towns- ley of the Townsley-Supplitt Real Estate Agency and she directed us to the offices of William Lancaster, dentist, and his assistant, Bette Derrick. We bought a copy of the Brookside Clarion and found that Frank Siska was editor, Mary Rachel An- spach, music critic, and Betty Fanning and Betty Sover- eign the best sob-sisters of the city. We laughed over the antics of Sammy the Spider drawn by Lucile Babbitt, the leading woman cartoonist in the world. ln the paper were many interesting items about R. B. alumni. Audrey Skupa had just been chosen Miss America by George Skale, the talent scout for the Fol- lies. The famous buyer, Mary Ann Chlebecek, and her secretary, Martha Braune, had just came back from abroad and on the same boat was Harriet Carlson, who designs rings, and her model for lovely hands, Lois Hogstrom. The Sportsman's Show was in town with Douglas Dun- can of the Royal Northwest Mounties, Phil Germond of ' 9' . 4.- T ' JI-Y' s-V L . . ,, J 'p:i'9 the lumberjacks, and Richard Sabel, a Canadian trapper. The show was sponsored by David Pentis, the national commander of the Boy Scouts. The Art Institute was exhibiting the paintings of Beverly Clements, the famous artist. In the AP dispatches there was much news about Florence Narkiewicz, the woman senator from Illinois, and Jim Grey, the Vice-President of the United States. The ads for the paper were designed and drawn by Lucille Landmann and Jerry Laxe. There was a picture of Pauline Prunty advertising Maybelline and ads for Thorne and Tomkins, exclusive dresses, Hollywood de- signed, Armstrong individual hats, and Madame Ann Kalabsa, the famous land expensive? hair stylist. That evening we went to the movie owned by John Booth. On the screen were America's sweethearts, John Bestler and Gladys Williams. Bob Howe provided the comic element. The picture was directed by William Meyer and filmed'by George Schnable. The William Penkava Censor Board passed the picture as clean and wholesome. I The next morning we got up early and went to the Brookside Country Club. The manager was Tom Men- dius and his assistant was Vernon Fail. On the golf course we saw the pro, Fred Binder, instructing the local playboy, Jim Green. Next we drove to the Chlumsky Stables to see the Kentucky Derby winner owned by Vivian Smith. We also saw the winning jockey, James Svihlik. On our way back to town we passed by the lonely house of the hermit philosopher, Casimir Cichon. The Brookside Hospital was next and here we saw the head doctor, Jack Gronberg, and the dietician, Jean Alford. Adelaide Austin and Katherine Hoffman were nurses there. We drove through the estate of Paul Williamson, a gentle- man farmer, and saw the manager of the farm, Erwin Wettour, the head florist, Virginia Cernyj and her assistant, Fleur Ange West. All the landscaping was done by Edwin Shelgren, and Violet Krause fitted into the picture as a dairy maid. In the zoo, our next stop, we saw the co-directors, Janet Groth and Violet Kramer. James Deering was in the Reptile House of which he is the head. That afternoon we visited the circus. In the side- show we saw the strong-man, Guy Franzese, and the tattooed man, Robert Bolt. Inside the main tent David Zamen, the barker, introduced Harry Matson, the lion- tamerg and then the U'Ren twins, tumblers of renown. A blare of music made by Carl Yarling on the tuba, Tom Suta on the trumpet, and Tom Street on the clari- net announced Madam Gayle Barber, the daring bare- back rider. Harold Melkus did death-defying tricks on his motorcycle and the Kobes-McKinney trapeze artists .Lf 'gk-I . Cf,-' . . .X i- ' Y 'T Dx.. flew around with the greatest of ease. ,,fI larry Ferris, as a clown, amused us all with his antics. In the evening we listened to the radio. The Variety Hour was on with William Kahn as Master of Ceremo- nies. The Sprietsma-Bostrand dramatic team gave a skit, Robert Hall, comedian, with his blonde and beautiful partner, Florence Herzberg, out-did themselves in funny gags. The O Trio lOlson, O'Leary, Opperi sang and Mildred Folta played the accordion. A jam session composed of Robert Castle on the clarinet, David Squires on the drum, and William Liska at the piano next took the floor, and Peggy Hayes and Ardelle Petter sang torch and blues songs respectively. Doris Johnson played Baby Snooks and Tom McCormick played Daddy. LeRoy Mann sang cowboy songs and Jim Wagner was the station announcer. The program went on without a hitch due to the efficient manage- ment of Irwin Jecha. The next morning we went to visit the firm of Strobel and Mackiewich, lawyers, where we were greeted by the secretary, Ruth Hitzke. We were invited to visit the court of Judge Marion Tippet. Clarence Stelk was the court reporter. Robert Harazin, the district attorney, and Margaret Noha, a secret-service woman, were also there. The married ladies, nee Ruth Klows, Natalie Malo- wick, Marion Ters, Lillian Novak, Bernadette Bleakney, and Madelyn Wadsworth had to call for their children at the Van Gampeleare Nursery. Marjorie Blair had charge of the kindergarten age children and Rose Mita- cek and Gracia Tibbals, the younger children. That evening we went to the theatre managed by William Houston and saw the current play. In the cast were Dorothy Gross, Janet Tuohy, Vivian Savaglio, and Vernon Lillig. The programs were printed by Andorf 8- Gustafson Printers. By the way, Ruth Gulick is now a printer's wife. The solo dances in the play were done by Virdell Carr and Gwen Koveng the scenery was de- signed by Muriel Brown and William Southwood, the lighting, by Wallace Bjorklund. Billie Marie and I left early the next morning in one of the Vita-Ferguson planes. Lillian Rezabek, radio operator, saw us off and Marjorie Filipek was the stew- ardess. The pilot was Paulus Granquist and the co- pilot, Gene Steck. We had a wonderful time seeing all our old friends, each of them has succeeded in his own way.

Endeavoring to make its own organization more democratic, the Council held one of its meetings before the entire student body. Through the cooperation of the High School Association with the Council, new bicycle racks were purchased for the con- venience of the many students who ride their bicycles to school. The Council has also made a survey of the extra-curricular activity of the individual student. The officers this year were: president, John Gardner, vice-president, Victor Peterson, scretary, Barbara Wag- ner. The most active committees andutheir chairmen were: social committee, Mary Ann Chlebecek, school relations committee, Ruth Tezlaft, extra-curricular corn- mitiee, Bette Beindorf.

MEMBERSHIP IN HONOR SENATE IS SCHOOL'S HIGHEST HONOR The Honor Senate is a group of students who have, by their efforts and achievements, won the recognition of the student body. Each year in ci public initiation two boys and two girls from each of the three upper classes are inducted into the Senate. They pledge to uphold the Senate's standards of character, scholarship, leadership, and service, This is the highest academic honor they may receive at R. B. H. S. Members are chosen by the faculty according to their rating in the four standards mentioned above. This year under Miss Bore's direction the Honor Sen- ate corresponded with the high school alumni who are away at college and formed a scrap-book of their letters to help R, B. seniors in choosing and becoming ac- quainted with these colleges and their extra-curricular activities.

One made the first team and five were given honorable mention. Few had fairer claim to the honor than Captain Phil Germond who rated as a unanimous choice at tackle on the All-Conference first team. Possessing a ter- rific charge, he blasted his way through every line in the conference with such regularity that he became known as the fifth man in opponents' backfield. ln George Wilkerson the Bulldogs had a quarterback who ranked with the best in the conference. A brilliant field general and an accu- rate passer, diminutive Wilkerson was the back- bone of the Bulldog running attack. The center of the line, Paus and Duffy at the guards, and Jack Harris at center received honorable mention honors. The yards were well earned that rival backs made through these smashing defensive linemen, and the ability of the guards to pull out ,,iA r Q 'E u g of the line quickly made them doubly dangerous . jgfi ft' when Bulldogs toted the ball.

Hank Sordel inaugurated the conference campaign at LaGrange by running wild through a bewildered Blue and Gold line for big gains behind the brick-wall blocking of Harry Hinds and Dave Squires. Captain Eddie Hile and Al Miller had their moments against Hinsdale when they rang up the season's first scores on successive touchdown jaunts while Howie Anderson and Vern Lillig carried a terrific battle in the line. Ray Hoppenrath was an entire line in himself the day he and Ray Trinko wrecked Glenbard's high geared backfield machine with crushing defensive play. The great line backing of Jim Wagner saved a rout in the Maine upset when the Blue Devils struck with Q devastating aerial attack in the first period and his pass catching coupled with the broken field running of Homer Taylor and Sordel paved the way for Whitey Swanson's last minute touch- down plunge. Eddie Nelson proved an adept receiver of short passes from his halfback notch before late season injuries overtook him, and Paul Haase turned in fine performances in the role of substitute fullback.

HEAVYWEIGHTS OFFER STIFF COMPETITION ON GRIDIRON The 1938 edition of the RIVERSIDE-BROOKFIELD heavyweights didn't capture the West Suburban League title, but they did dull the claws of every opponent they tackled in a suicide schedule. Never regarded as an outfit to go overboard on, the Bulldogs rated as a versa- tile and dangerous team which was evidenced by the fact that they crossed pay dirt in all but one of their conference tilts. An early tipoff that the Bulldog star was in the as- cent was when the Blue and White battled a champion Oak Park eleven to a standstill for three periods only to lose on a pass in the waning minutes of play. Tabbed as a dark horse after this display of classical football, the squad met a Tartar when they collided with New Trier in a second intersectional contest. Smashing backs working behind a gigantic forward wall sent the Bull- dogs kicking in a 20-O setback. La Grange drew first blood in the conference lineup when they garnered a I3-6 decision. An 80-yard re- turn of the opening kick-off dimmed the Bulldogs' vic- tory hopes from the outset although they remained in the fray until the final gun. Downers Grove upset the dope bucket when a flurry of fourth period passes clicked to deadlock a 6-6 thriller. Riverside hit their peak the following Saturday when LIGHTS TIE FOR FOURTH PLACE IN CONFERENCE When Coach Carlson took over the lightweight reins last fall he found only three lettermen and a host of aspiring candidates awaiting his initial battle sermon, I-le proved to be a good tactician and from this outfit moulded an eleven which tied La Grange for fourth place with a record of two wins, two defeats, and two ties. The throat cutting among the top flight teams was terrific and no team survived the grueling confer- ence race without a defeat. Potentially the team ranked as a title contender but a lack of scoring punch in early season encounters against La Grange and Downers Grove and the loss of that hair-raising battle with Glenbard cost them a share of the championship toga. The time keepers' watch proved as tough as the sturdy Glenbard forward wall when the two teams clashed in that titanic struggle at Glen Ellyn which eventually sent the Glens on to titular honors. Riverside held the edge in yardage and first downs and twice was stopped on the goal line by the clock, but the twelve points on the other side of the ledger proved the margin of victory. they engaged Hinsdale's aerial circus, emerging on top, I8-6. ln the remaining games, the Riverside defense col- lapsed against heavier opposition, being especially aller- gic to the five-man-line brand of football employed by Glenbard, Maine, and York. The starting Bulldog eleven was strong and sound, although not backed by powerful reserves. The backs cavorted behind a forward wall which included Captain- Elect Welgos and stocky Schueneman at the terminals. Captain Germond, all-conference standout, and burly Guy Franzese dominated the vital tackle slots. A pair of speedy watch charm guards held forth in fast-in- terfering Duffy and sturdy Norm Paus. The veteran Harris paraded at the pivot post. Key man in the backfield setup was speedy, quick thinking Wilkerson, Bulldog field general. Power-back Green did the plunging and kicking while Harazin and Stewart cleared the path with savage blocking. Fifth man in the backfield was Strobel, who played regularly before an injury forced him to the sidelines. Besides all-conference Germond, five members of the Riverside eleven received Honorable Mention for the all- conference team: Wilkerson, Duffy, Green, Paus, and Harris. The homecoming victory over York will live long in the annals of the school. The Barons came loaded to annex their third straight conference crown but they didn't have a chance. From the opening whistle the inspired Ponies riddled the York line with savage thrusts and crushing tackles and in the second period shattered the Green and White title dream when Sordel dashed thirty-five yards off a deep reverse for the lone marker of the game, The Blue and White line, one of the biggest in the league, ranked with the best. Center l-linds and Guards Trinka and Anderson formed an iron clad middle trio while the fiery Squires and hard-hitting Lillig held down the tackle slots. On the flanks, the signal-calling Wag- ner paired with the rugged Hoppenrath to shag passes and box opposing tackles. The backs were led by all- conference Sordel, climax-runner-de-luxe at quarter, Captain Hile and Taylor at the halves, and Swanson at full, rounding out the rest of the quartet, Reserves who saw plenty of action were Negele and Allen at the tackles and I-laase, Nelson, and King in the backfield. LIGHTWEIGHT CAGERS TIE WITH GLENBARD FOR THIRD PLACE Starting the season with a green, inexperienced squad, Coach Richert's lightweights developed rapidly into a well-rounded, versatile outfit. After suffering a shel- lacking from La Grange, the ponies, strengthened by a revamped lineup, won four straight games. The fine spirit of the team was demonstrated again and again by the way in which they came from behind in the clos- ing minutes to win. The lights slumped in midseason and dropped three disappointing games in a row. This all but blasted the R-B chances for undisputed first place but the team proved that they were only down and not out. With a burst of enthusiasm they won their last three out of four conference games and entered into a third place HEAVIES MAKE GOOD SHOWING IN CONFERENCE BASKETBALL The fact that Coach Shuey, Bulldog mentor, is little short of a basketball genius makes the R-B quintet feared throughout the loop. However, performing mir- acles is slightly above his scope so this season found the Riverside contingent falling short of the high stand- ard set by his teams in the past. Graduation had claimed the seven top-flight performers of the ten let- termen of last year's squad. Recurring attacks of in- fluenza left the squad short of man-power during several crucial moments. The Bulldogs opened the season with a brilliant, if bitter, defeat at the hands of Morton High, the section- al champs, falling short by three points. The varsity cagers sharpened their shooting eyes and eked out a sensational over-time victory against their traditional rival, La Grange, as R-B's towering center, Frank Siska, supplied the margin of victory with a swishing long shot. In the Maine encounter, John Wrong Way Neilly, fire-eater of the five, found his place in the sun tie with Glenbard. Undefeated La Grange was first, York second. The entire first team, consisting of Co-Captain Ray Fregan, Paul Haase, Harold Swanson, Henry Sordel, and Ed Fregan, are underclassmen and therefore R-B's cham- pionship stock is sky high for next year's l939-l94O season. Riverside, with five returning regulars, experi- enced reserves, and some anticipated additions from the freshman and sophomore teams, is already rated the most formidable contender in next season's conference race. Only Co-Captain Tom Strobel, Eddie Hile, and Paul Hill will be lost by graduation. Ray Fregan was voted a berth on the All-Conference lightweight team. becoming high man for one game though once mis- reading his compass and scoring for the opposition. Miles Bocek, Coach Shuey's chief exponent of the hook shot deluxe, found the range to the tune of nine- teen points in the Blue and White's second victory over L. T. H. S. and helped him on to high scoring honors for the season. The Riverside squad placed two of its members on the second team all-conference, namely, Miles Bockek at forward and Captain George Wilkerson at guard. George, a scrappy former lightweight, sup- plied the team with spark and guiding genius and fin- ished second only to Miles in team scoring. As Wilkie's running mate, Clarence Welgos fitted perfectly. Clarie did sixty per cent of the defensive rebounding and was a cool ball handler in the crucial spots. Howie Anderson and Ralph Arboe proved to be the chief replacement assets and filled the breaches as they appeared. They, plus Welgos and Neilly, provide the nucleus of a fine squad for next season. ff? .jk ly LIGHTWEIGHT ' BASKETBALL PLAYERS 7 i' Top Row: Capt. Ray Fregan, Edward Fregan.

The purpose of the intra-mural activities is to furnish more boys than those who play on the varsity teams a chance to enter and play any one of the many sports offered. ln this way hidden talent is often discovered for the major sports. Of the large selection of sports offered, the most popular are basketball, boxing, tumbling, badminton, ping pong, and archery. Mr. Dudley also has charge of the Frosh-Soph basketball teams. These teams are organized primarily for the purpose of developing the playing ability of the boys that go out for either the light or heavyweight basketball teams and lack the required experience to play on the regular squad, The Frosh- Soph teams have a regular schedule and they play regulation games with the same conference schools that the varsity teams play.

Ardelle Petter The Girls' Athletic League is a new organ- ization at R.B.H,S. this year. With Miss Boyle, the girls' physical education teacher, as supervisor, the girls drew up the new con- stitution and by-laws. This club was formed because the girls were dissatisfied with the former athletic club which was a chapter of the state organization, the Girl's Athletic Association. The Girls' Athletic League is very similar to the G.A.A. However, there are no train- ing rules, and the award system has been changed. The purposes of the G.A.L. are: to stimulate interest in girls' athletics, to organize and direct an intramural sports program, and to promote ideals of health and sportsmanship. Some of the activities offered to the girls through the intramural program have been: archery, badminton, basketball, bowl- ing, swimming, recreational games, tumbling, baseball, and tennis. Any girl may come out for these activities even though she is not a member of the club. Club members earn points for awards by participation in these sports. They receive one point every night that they come out. lf they are on a winning team of a tourna- ment they receive an extra point. In order to receive an award, the girls must earn three-fourths of the possible total number of points for that year. The awards are given out according to the class the girls are in in school, and not by how many years they have been a member of the club. ln other words, a senior will receive the fourth year award although she may have been a member only two years. The awards are as follows: freshman, a diamond shaped award, sophomore, a tri- angular shaped award, iunior, a small R-B, and senior, a large R-B. Each activity of the club has a student manager who takes care of the equipment for that sport and makes note of the girls who come out for the activity. The first activity undertaken by the club was archery. This is the first year that this sport was offered to R-B. students, and it proved to be very popular. ln October the girls took up bowling. They bowled on the alleys in Lyons. Some of the outstanding bowlers were: Lucile Babbitt, Virginia Harlev, Doris Johnson, Alice Kelly, and Dorothy Wahl. The main activity during the winter was basketball. The winning team of the tourna- ment was captained by Eileen Wilson. Through special arrangements made by Miss Boyle, the G.A.L. girls were also able to practice swimming this year. They went every Saturday morning to the Olympic Pool in Cicero. Here they were given instructions in swimming, diving, and formation swim- ming. ln the spring, tumbling was offered. The girls on the team were in the spring gym exhibition. Later in the spring the club members played a baseball tournament. CHEERFUL OUTLOOK FOR TRACK SEASON Mr. Dudley was blessed this season with one of the best track teams R-B has seen in several seasons. With several veterans returning and an abundance of fine new material, R-B was furnished with a well-round track team. Most of the team was made up of seniors: Guy Franzese, the muscle man and shot-putter, Bob Harazin, the quarter miler, Tom Strobel, low hurdles ace, Miles Bocek, star high jumper, Paul Williamson and Howard Hill, both sterling distance men, Bob Peterson in the dashes, Pat Shawhan, the Irish flash in the 220, and Merl Stewart doing the broad jumping. The team suffered a loss early in the season when Paul Horeck broke his shoulder while pole vaulting. The younger members of the team and future stars were: Carl Yarling and Bob Meyers in the 220, Clarence Welgos, javelin, Joe Post and Hank Sordel, in the dashes, Bus Benson and Bill Zeman, Ed Johnston, and Ed Nelson, distance runners. PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES EXHIBIT WORK The scarlet and black of the iaunty soldier costumes, the green and orange of the clowns' suits, and the gay Scotch plaids of the High- landers lent a flash of color to the annual phy- sical education demonstration that was given May 5 under the direction of W. A. Dudley, head of the physical education department and Miss Vir- ginia Boyle, girls' physical education instructor. The program, which was divided into three parts, opened with a series of statue silhouettes illustrating the various activities of the physical education department, such as archery, badmin- ton, baseball, table tennis, and suffleboard. When the curtain rose on Part ll the stage was transformed into a gay toy shop. A tired shop- keeper, Elaine Smith, dropped into an easy chair, and as she tell into a daze, the toys came to life and started a series of meary dances. Acrobatics and tumbling stunts made up the third part of the program. Both the boys and girls gym classes participated in this part of the entertainment. STATUES Arthur Peterson .........,.,. ,...

Chorus and Qrchcstra H Pcrlorrri in lVlclodic lVloodfs Three times a week Room 229 swells with music as the members of the mixed chorus rehearse new pieces for various programs, Iustily sing old favorites, or try their hands at the perplexing task of directing the chorus. The fifty choristers were selected by Miss Brainard, the director, after competitive try-outs. On December I9, the maroon-robed singers sang in the third annual candlelight service in honor of the yuletide. The program consisted of songs of the sixteenth and seventeenth century and foreign lands, as well as the familiar carols. The mixed chorus also participated in the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. The most notable performance was Melodic Moods which the chorus presented on March IO and I I with the girls' glee club and the orchestra. The program follows: ACT I.

At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President, De Witt Drury, Vice-President, Ruth Tetzlaff, Secretary, Beverly Clements. The thirty-five members and the sponsor, Miss Shipley, enjoyed a one-act play entitled Keeping Kitty's Dates at an early fall meeting. The play was put on by Masque and Wig members. At another meeting the club had a chop suey supper in the school cafeteria. Mr. Al Palmer, make-up man, was a guest at the supper and as a part of the evening's entertain- ment he made up a boy and a girl as characters. The big event of the year was the Masque and Wig play entitled Lucky Winner. It was given on March 3l and April l and was very successful. Two one-act plays, The Pot Boilers directed by Mr. Haas, and Trysting Place directed by Miss Shipley, were prepared by the Masque and Wig and presented at assembly programs. As a fitting climax to the year's activie ties, a dinner and theatre party and a picnic were held, LUCKY WINNER by Katherine Kavanaugh This three act farce-comedy was presented on March 3l and April l by the Masque and Wig, under the able direction of Miss E. Lucille Shipley. The plot centers around the com- plications which arise as a result of the masquerading of Clarence Dinwiddie, a young tutor, as Captain Monty Duvall, a famous polo player and horseman. The situation becomes increasingly funny when Clarence, who is deathly afraid of horses is forced to risk his neck in a polo game in order to win the admiration of Jean, with whom he is in love. With a stroke of good luck Clarence manages to win the game and because of his newly gained position is able to confess his true identity. The outcome of it all is that Clarence is forgiven and wins the favor of Miss Jean.

The year's activities are always interesting as well as educational. School events are discussed by members, and social events outside ot the school proper are enjoyed. The col- lection and mending ot toys tor poor children and the gathering of old clothes and books to send to the people of the Tennessee mountains were among the charitable deeds of the club, Mr. Lott is the club sponsor and George Wilkerson the club president. ln the top picture we S992 LEIVI' T0 RIGHT: Jail-lc Gau'dner, Mei'l Stewart, Robert Peterson, WVilliam Myers, Harry Hinds, Paul Williamson, Tlionms Strolpcl, Clil'i'orcl Tliygqmseii, Gexirgre Wilkerson, Jznnes Wkigner, Wallace Bjork- lund, Clarence Welgos, Thomas Street, Jack Harris, CENTER PICTURE-LEFT TO RIGHT: Robeit C:ist'e, George Svhnzible, Robert Rice, Robert Lung, Burton Michel, Vernon Lillie, Joseph Rein.

BOYS STUDY MYSTERY OF RADIO Although in its infancy as compared to the older clubs of R-B, the Radio Club, which organized last September, has forged ahead with the assurance of an old-timer. Beginning with a charter membership of sixteen boys, who were interested in learning the Inter- national Morse Code and the theory of radio, the club elected a president, Robert Vanicek, and a secretary, Paul Brennan, and then set to work. Most meetings are spent either assembling or taking to pieces radio apparatus if not practicing the Code l-lere we see them, upper right, assembling radio parts. Taking advantage of their proximity to a metropolis the boys have visited thc Adler Planetarium, the WGN studios, and the Rosenwald Museum of Science antl lndustry.

'I2-First day of school and the senior girls seem happy about the whole thing. The new freshmen are happy as they all pull boners. A promising crop anyway. Sept. 'I6-Janet Groth paints industriously. Probably a picture of the new addition. Not a bad subject, but not a bad artist either, eh? Sept. 20-The steam shovel was a great attraction as it dug up R.B.'s campus.

Oct. 20-The Bulldog elections were held and the results are as follows: Bill Kahn, president, Victor Peterson, vice-president, Eugenie Steinhausen, secretary. They pon- der deeply in the October sunshine. Proba- bly laying plans for the big pep parade. Or maybe Kahn is eyeing a likely date. Oct. 21-Tragedy struck our school today as Florence Christensen of the freshman class was fatally injured by an auto while she was walking to school. Oct. 25-Our parents attended school during Open House and according to the reports from the teachers they acted worse than the freshmen.

Well, anyway, the Top-l-'latters are going to town. Slips will pass with the tripe, we always say. Nov. 'I'l-Home-coming and how. A big parade and a bonfire the night before and then the game itself. Dave, Charlotte, Elaine, and Ethel sell candy, Wagner sends Sordel carrying the mail for dear old R.B. Stewart and Siska aided by Strobel and Mendius, broadcasted a play by play de- scription of the game. Afterward a group of lower classmen worked off their ex-zoo- brance by climbing the goal posts.
