In school they are leaving a vacant place which will tax the class of “26 to their utmost to fill. Our class is not composed of individual stars in any line. We have learned that life's greatest lesson is cooperation and our days in school have been spent with that end in view. If we leave but one place in school which is better for our presence, we feel that our efforts have been worth while. We are leaving school for the great outer world, knowing that our days spent at 5. T. H. S. will forever be considered among the happiest of our lives.

The year is nearly ended, my credits I have won. Commencement's near. I'm through, I fear, and Sandwich High I m leaving With tear-dimmed eyes and many sighs, the thought just sets me grieving. I nearly flunked in English, I barely passed in French, I just got through in History, with Law I was entrenched. But now that tests are over, and Commencement s drawing near, I'll leave my good old High School, whose name I hold so dear. At last High School is over, and my troubles at an end, I'll never work at anything, but think of ways to spend The vacation that I've looked for, so far and yet so near, I thought it wasn't going to come, but now—O boy! it s here. —John Cranor Page Nine Cl) c 1 9 2 3 t R a v JUNIORS CLASS OFFICERS Francis Campbell President Frances Wnght—Vice President Margaret Whitson—Secretary Gertrude Shults—Treasurer STUDENT COUNCIL Virginia Hamill Charles Scoggin Emily Appel Mark Bowen Keith Bowen Minnie Brady Francis Campbell Ruth Cortnght Margaret Feierabend Philip Franas David Gray Virginia Hamill Olive Heeg Marbry Henning CLASS ROLL Kermit Ingemunson Melvin Jackson Fern Jacobson Westel Johnson Dorothy Kaufman Olive Kell Beatrice Meilinger William Morrow Elizabeth Morey Harold Paine Genevieve Pierce Francis Sauter Charles Scoggin Reginald Seitzinger Alice Shales Gertrude Shults Jessie Skinner Russel Southwick Margaret Thompson Ingval Thorson Allene Toombs Robert Warner Margaret Whitson Frances Wright The class of “26 , with a few changes in the class roll, assembled last September to make their school year a rousing success. They were well represented on the toot-ball squad and, although the boys didn't win any honors in the interclass tournament, the girls walked off with all honors in the girls' basketball tournament. There were the usual social activities, including a bob ride and the Junior Hop, one of the best dances of the year. The Junior-Senior banquet, the biggest social function of the year, was put on in a royal manner and proclaimed by all a great success. In dramatics the class stands very high. The first annual Junior Class Play, “East is West” was given in the high school auditorium twice with many compliments from the audience after each performance. In scholarship the class holds its own and its average grade for the honor students is among the highest. This year has been successful, but we intend to better our record while we are Seniors.

The first thing we did was to give a class assembly which was a great success. The second was to seize the opportunity to sell hot dogs and home made candy at all the football games. It was hard work but we needed the money. This money was used in putting on the biggest event of the year, The Sophomore Hop . Eddie Fitzgerald and his orchestra furnished the music and surely showed us what they were made of. During intermission, lunch was served in the cafeteria. Every one present reported a fine time. In athletics we made a great mark. Don't tell us the boys of our class can't do something. Kenneth Paulson was elected basketball captain and Frederic Dean, football captain. Two Sophomores received basketball letters and four received football letters. Next year we will be Juniors and will have many big things to accomplish. We are going to do them as well if not a little better than the Class of '26 has done.

We have had a big representation in all the school organizations, such as the S. T. H. S. A. A. and the Dramatic Club. We had about the best bob ride of the year. May 16 we gave the class of '29 the best Freshman-Eighth Grade Reception (according to Miss Hennis) put on in the new school. Our class was a great help to the football team, being represented by men like Killey, Paulson, and Paden. Arnold Christensen, one of the first Freshmen ever to get a letter in basketball, played regularly on the first five throughout the season. Next year we expect to make even a better record, and our aspirations are especially for still greater representation in athletics. Page Fifteen C I) c 1925 I U a n PUMMY I think that I shall never see A man like Pummy who keeps the key. He is the janitor of our old school. He is very happy, as a rule. A man that looks at us all day And always has something to say. A man that may in summer wear A little skull cap to keep back his hair. Upon his floors the gum has lain Until it makes him 'most insane. Poems are made by fools like me, But men like Pummy you seldom see. —Jac Chapman JUNE TENTH By the door of Sandwich High School, By the gargoyles carved outside it. At the doorway of his sanctum, K. Hough stood in meditation. All the air was full of freshness. All the hall was filled with laughter, And before him, walked the students. Talking, laughing in the hallway. As they gladly started homeward. Sad above him ticked the timepiece; Locker doors at last were silent; Windows all were blank and staring; Forrest sadly looked around him, Saying, My, but it is lonely! —Jane Mosher Page Sixteen Cbc 1923 I Rap 1924-23 AT S. T. H. S. The school year once more draws to a close. Some leave with great joy, but most of us with regret. S. T. H. S. is a great place for one to spend his days, we can't deny that. As soon as the Sandwich Fair was over, the old school house opened its doors and welcomed all comers. School started with a bang and it wasn't long before we were following a football team which was building a reputation that made all opponents quake. V e had some football team during the fall of 24. In the meantime those students who could not take active part in athletics were busy organizing associations which they wished to push. Those interested in dramatics organized a Dramatic Club, elected their officers and have had a booming time ever since. They have kept their organization alive by giving various entertainments through the year. The boys decided an Athletic Association would be a great thing for the school; so they held a meeting and elected officers. This is another club that has been alive throughout the athletic seasons. About the time these organizations were well under way the football season closed and the basketball season opened. While the Basketball team of 1925 was not equal to the one of 1924, yet the games witnessed by the Sandwich fans were of a better class than any of the preceding years. Financially our season was a great success, as many bills of 1924 and 1925 were paid and a small surplus was built up to start on next year. While the class spirit of the scholastic year has not been one of friction, the spirit of contest has been keen. The various classes have met in interclass athletics. The lunior girls were preeminently superior in basketball, their efforts winning the championship. The Seniors were victors in the boys' contest. In class dramatics the Juniors have also taken the lead. They put on the first annual Junior play, East is West , and they hope that Junior classes in future years will follow their lead. Dances and bob parties were a big part of the winter sports. The Seniors started off the dance season with a Hallowe’en festivity. Th Juniors soon followed this with the Junior Hop” and these two were the most successful of all dances given in '24-’25. As the balmy days of spring appeared, banquets and similar festivities kept the students busy. The athletic season was closed with a banquet and dance which made all glad that they were followers of the Orange and Black. The Junior-Senior Reception was closely followed by the Father-Son Banquet and the Freshman-Eighth grade reception, all of which were affairs that made us glad we were social beings. The biggest affair of the year, the May Day Festival, took place on the high school campus as per schedule. This year's festivity was an improvement on all those of preceding years and it was with pride that we looked upon the efforts of the gym classes. The X-Ray flourishes as in former years. It is acquiring the dignity of age at present and the talent at hand from which next year s staff will be selected makes the coming year one of assured success.

The first was the noon recreation held in the gym. It seemed that some sort of amusement was needed to keep those entertained who dine in the cafeteria. The student cour.ci undertook this task and appointed committees for each week. On some days, dancing was held in the gym, on others, games and sports were enjoyed. As we all wished to follow our team to the Little Ten Tournament at Waterman, the student council was determined to secure some means of transportation. As a result, a bus was hired at special reduced rates and furnished transportation for all those who desired to go. The Athletic Banquet is a very important event of the year. The student counu had entire charge of this, putting on a splendid supper and entertainment including a dance held afterwards in the gym. The May Day Fete is another great event of the year. On this day, everyone is taken out on the football field to display his skill and the new May Queen is crowned. Committees were appointed from the student council to take charge of the polls during the election of May Queen and judges, tellers, etc., were also supplied by the student council. , The student council has strived to make this year one of the most prosperous o any at Sandwich High. We have pushed things which no one else would support and helped greatly in making the school the center of social activity that it is. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Last September, shortly after school started, a number of students began talking about organizing an athletic association. Everyone thought it would be a good thing, and as the idea was commended by the faculty, the real work of organization was begun. A constitution which included all the by laws of the association and rules for awarding letters to athletes was adopted. Membership dues of twenty-five cents a year were agreed on. An arrangement was made by which any student selling two season football tickets could become a member of the association without payment of dues. The purpose of the association is to promote interest in athletic activities. This was done last year in a number of ways. Many students sold season tickets to people in the community, thus insuring a good attendance at all our games. A cheer leader was appointed, and regular pep meetings were held, which worked wonders in improving the cheering at games. A committee appointed by the Board of Control designed a handbook which contained information about the association as well as songs and yells. The book was sold for a dime a copy, and did much to familiarize students with the association.

The scene of the play was laid partly in New York and partly in New Jersey. Mr. King (Hurdman Bark) who had made a large fortune through his business organisations had two daughters, Eva (Octa Wesson) and Julie (Florence Brandenburger) who had been spoiled ever since they were children. Julie, the older daughter, was married to Clinton DeWitt (Carlton Hough.) Clinton was an idle youth who found sufficient occupation with tailors, polo games, and parties. Eva, King’s younger daughter, had much charm and also happened to have a flock of admirers. Among them were Dr. Dclamater (Stanley Crum) and Lord Andrew Gordon (Donald Campbell.) Aunt Abby (Bernice Woodbury) was an old maid, sponging on her rich brother-in-law. This spinster character, hard for a high school student to portray, was well acted. Where there is an aunt there should be an uncle, but Uncle Horace (Roy Paulson) was no relative ot Abby s. He had come to spend a week end and had stayed fifteen Vears- (Continued on Page 28) Page Twenty € be 1025 I ft a p +-— S. T. H. S. DRAMATIC CLUB Early in October the students of S. T. H. S. who were interested in dramatics met to organize a dramatic association. About seventy students joined the club at the first, several dropping out before the year was over. The idea of the club is to promote student interest in dramatics and ability to present plays. The officers elected for the year are as follows: President—Arthur Hill; Vice President—Harriet Paine; Secertary—Edward Mosher, Treasurer—Robert Vlack. Miss Hennis and Miss DuVal were faculty advisors. The first program consisted of two one-act plays “The Crimson Cocoanut” and “The Neighbors which were acted by members of the Dramatic Club. These two plays brought out the dramatic ability of the students who took part, especially that of the Freshmen and Sophomores. The proceeds of the entertainment were given over to the curtain fund. We are glad to say that the curtains are almost paid for. The Dramatic Club of this year has been more active than clubs of former years. A program and business meeting was held every month sponsored by a committee of members, while formerly the meetings were few and far between. FINIS 'Tis fine to see the old school, and travel up and down Among the famous corridors and class rooms of renown. To admire the stately teachers and the period bell that rings— But now I think I've had enough of antiquated things. So it’s home again, and home again, the old home for me! My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be, In the place of youth and freedom beyond the classroom walls. Where the grass is full of sunlight and the air is full of balls. Oh, Algebra has its fancies, English has its nouns; And Latin has it theses, and all the spelling downs; And it's sweet to dream in study-hall, and it’s great to study Rome; But when it comes to living, there is no place like Home. —Henry Werener Page Twenty-one € I) c 1 9 2 3 X U a P + t|� � —— Ml m—m—m « m ■■ — - ■ m—m mmmmmmmmm � «|i ALUMNI We often wonder what becomes of our old school mates who have gone out to make their mark in the world.

First call for practice brought out thirty-three men, only five of them being letter men. This didn't look very promising, but with the S. T. H. S. fighting spirit prevail' ing we had a team which we were proud of before the season was well under way. We are proud in stating that we won seven out of eight games. West Aurora, taking advantage of the opening game, defeated us. This loss just put more fight into the boys for the rest of the season and we won every succeeding game except the one against the alumni who brought out all their heavyweights and held us to a tie. The games with Amboy, Hinckley and Yorkville were comparatively easy ones but that which was played at Plainfield was a real battle. The fighting spirit of the defenders of the Orange and Black enabled the boys to come out on top. Page Twenty-five Sanuielson (Coach) Brotneland Dean Shonts (Capt.)

They worked hard to perfect their game and their efforts enabled them to start their playing season with a dashing victory over Plano. They exacted their toll from the boys across the creek with a score of 12-11. After this came a series of successful games, some of them the best basktball contests ever witnessed on the S. T. H. S. floor. While we were unable to win the Little Ten shield at Waterman we considered it a very successful tournament for us. The hardest and best played game of the meet was between Earlville and Sandwich from which we emerged scant victors. This was the banner game of the season, Earlville having won from us twice earlier in the season, and our victory was due only to great improvement and hard work on the part of the coach and the team. We were honored this year by being placed in Class A at the district tournament in Aurora. We drew a hard schedule; however, we defeated Naperville but were beaten by West Aurora. We consider the 192 basket-ball season a success both from the number of games won and the spirit shown by the team and rooters. The cheering of the fans wras a great improvement over all former years, loyalty and clean sportsmanship being predominant at all contests. Three places will be left open by the trio of senior letter men who graduate. Their positions, however, will be filled by their understudies who are coming on in a very commendable way. We wish all success to the basket-ball team and rooters of 1925-26. Page Twenty seven +•------- € t)C 1925 ■+ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION—Continued from Page 19 One of the finest accomplishments was the placing of athletics on a sound financial basis. Due to the community support of athletics, and careful managing by the treasurer, all bills were paid, some old debts wiped out, and a surplus left for next year. This is indeed a fine record. Nevertheless, we intend to better it next year. SENIOR PLAY—Continued from page 20 As long as Mr. King was in business he had to have a manager and it was no other than Adam Smith (Arthur Hill.) Even though he was a bit old-fashioned at first he proved to be a stem but loving father (especially to Eva) when he and Mr. King changed places. Last but by no means the least was attractive Connthia, (Harriet Paine) the maid. She was the sort who stayed with the family for a lifetime, through thick and thui, and was rather romantic at times, too. All in all, it was a great play. The audience proclaimed it a success, due mostly to our capable coach. Miss Hennis, who gave willingly of her time to make Adam and Eva ’ the success it proved to be. This play proved to be quite popular, as Sycamore and Elburn also presented it. SCHOOL YEAR With all the outside activities of S. T. H. S. the scholastic average has been maintained at its former height. Busy students are the best students and our record spells our glory. It is with sorrow that the Seniors are bidding the old school ‘adieu’’ instead of “au revoir. The other classes have much to anticipate in another and still better school year. GETTING OUT AN ANNUAL Getting out an annual is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we are silly. It we don t print them, we are too serious. If we print original matter, they say we lack variety. It we publish things from other papers people say we arc too lazy to write. If we stay on the job, we ought to be out hustling news. If we are hustling news, we ought to be attending to business in our department. It we don t print all contributions, we don't show a proper appreciation. If we do print all contributions, the annual is filled with junk. Like as not some fellow will say we swiped this from an exchange—So we did.” Teacher: Ghildren, what is the most useful animal in the world? Little Mose: Chicken is de usefulest animal there is.
