These doors were doors of golden opportunity. The house, a house in which to lay the foundation of a life's work. From this school would spring the law-makers, the people who would hold a part of the nation’s destiny in their hands. The school building itself is a three-story brick structure made as nearly as possible fireproof. At one end is the gymnasium with seats for about 900 and a playing floor 72 by 35 feet. At the other end is an auditorium with seats for 540 and a stage which makes possible weekly assemblies, numerous beautiful pageants, plays, and programs of various kinds. This building was dedicated on Thursday, September 29, 1922, at 2:00 o’clock. The following was the program of the day: SONG America INVOCATION Rev. A. V. Wood, Pastor of Federated Church LADIES’ DOUBLE QUARTETTE—HEY HO! PRETTY MAID Walker Mesdames Mosher, Woodward, Kern, Ogilvie and Misses Adams, Newton, Kern and Hudgens REMARKS A. E. Woodward, President of Board of Education SONG .............................................. Battle Hymn of Republic ADDRESS Hon. Francis G. Blair, Superintendent of Public Instruction SANDWICH HIGH ALMA MATER SONG High School Chorus REMARKS John R. Cranor, Superintendent of Sandwich Township High School SONG . Star Spangled Banner With additions from other towns the number of students increased from 131 in 1920 to about 184 in 1921. This present year our attendance has dropped to around 170. This is due to the poor condition of the roads, for it is hard for the students from the surrounding towns to get there. Since 1921 there have been fourteen teachers for the fourteen newly equipped recitation rooms. There had been only nine teachers and five recitation rooms. Besides the fourteen regular teachers we have a music director; two physical education teachers; one for the boys and one for the girls; and a nurse. The music supervisor, the nurse, and the boys’ physical director and coach give their services to both the grades and high school. One of the high school graduates is the secretary in the office. Although many features still carry on in our new building such as class plays, pageants, Ag.” banquets, the band, athletic meets and banquets, and the annual, there are two new features, the X-Ray and the weekly assemblies. Our new building also provides a well-equipped manual training department, home economics, a room for mechanical drawing, and a first-class cafeteria. There is also a fine reading room and library supplied with the best magazines and about 800 volumes for reference work. Each student is given a locker for his wraps and books, and the Gym” is provided with locker rooms and showers for both boys and girls. In the main corridor is a large electric clock—operating all class bells. A fine athletic field adjoins the south campus; at the east arc tennis courts. A Little Ten Conference has started which exists in Basketball, Public Speaking, Singing, and Debating. Public Speaking and Debating have been brought up within the last two years and gratifying work has been done in these fields. With all these things Sandwich Township High School has made a history to be proud of and one which will live on down through the years. It has not been a startling history, going by jerks, but one which has gone on resolute!)’ and strongly. Also our pupils have reached honor and fame, and may they continue to do so. Ten REFLECTOR Alina Mater Song Old Sandwich High, we’re loyal, To our colors Orange and Black; We'll make the old school royal Honor she shall never lack. Thy name shall be borne o’er the world. By the strains of victory. In triumph thy flag be unfurled As we sing our song to thee. Chorus: Sandwich . . . Sandwich . . . Sandwich Sandwich Alma Mater When High School days arc over, We will welcome every cheer For Sandwich Alma Mater, Whose name we hold so dear. We’ll have left our good old high school But her name we will recall. We’ll stand for the name of Sandwich, We’ll support her one and all. The consideration of a high school in which your boy or girl shall pursue further study is all important just now. It is with a sincere desire to be of service that we are setting forth some of the advantages of the Sandwich Tosvnship High School. The Board of Education and school officials have defined the aim and purpose of our educational program as follows: First, to set up a situation in which the student shall be encouraged to build right habits which shall crystallize into Christian character; second, to challenge the interest of the student by a course of study which shall lay the foundation for a broader technical and cultural education; finally, to provide a field of exploration for some of the useful pursuits of life, and to awaken ideas and form attitudes of civic consciousness and responsibilities in these pursuits. Our entire resources are devoted each year in an honest effort at a fuller realization of the above mentioned aims. The personality factor is always a vital one. A Faculty consisting of fifteen teachers is concerned with the training of our high school boys and girls. These teachers are qualified by training and experience to assist the student to realize the highest achievement of which he is capable. Our teacher-pupil ratio is on the average of i to 18, thus assuring a much needed individualization of instruction. Our school is identified with the North Central Association, by virtue of the fact that all instructors have been awarded Degrees, certifying to four years of college or university work. We are also fully accredited with the University of Illinois, smaller colleges of the state, and colleges of the same grade in other states. This means that our students may enter these institutions on the basis of our Certificate of Graduation, (an entrance is waived). A careful perusal of the pages of this book will, we believe, convince you that on the basis of building and other physical equipment our high school ranks with the best secondary schools in the State of Illinois. This is a splendid tribute to the good judgment and vision of the people of our township. Space will not permit a comprehensive exposition of the course of study. Is your son interested in the scientific aspect of farming? His interest will be challenged and held by our Smith-Hughes Agriculture program, in the hands of a competent instructor. The girls are taught the useful home arts work in our Domestic Science Courses. Our vocational courses also include shop-work (woodwork and metal work) for the boys. Our commercial course, consisting of bookkeeping, shorthand and typewriting, serves an increasingly larger enrollment each year. Physical training instructors for boys and girls work with a full time school nurse, to care for the physical well-being and health of our students. Our academic courses, aside from providing a cultural value, equip the student with a pre-requisite basis for training in business or the professions. The door of opportunity is open to your boys and girls who believe that their lives may be made more useful and profitable through the medium of a high school education. May we not serve you?

To them it had often been said That to fix each one's wagon to a star Was the one way of getting ahead. To music a sextette was contributed. And quartette members all but one; Then the accompanists, soloists, and glee clubs. And this car in the train was begun. In the next car were loaded successes Which football and track meets had won; These with public speaking and drama Made for laurels as well as much fun. The senior cheer leader and Ag.” boys Helped to put 29” on the map Scholarship records wrere so high That the other cars had no mishap. They have followed the advice they were given; So their tasks in the future afar They can all meet cheerfully smiling With this caravan fixed to a star.

It had 58 passengers, a very large list for that type of plane. The pilot was elected, Henry Mosher. During the first year one thing came to dim the happiness of the group. One of its members, Philip Fanning, met with a fatal accident. At the beginning of this trip, even though we were green, these passengers showed great hopes as thinkers by having a very large honor roll. They were a noisy crew, but if one listened he could hear the suggestions of music and rhetoric through the chatter and confusion. There were a few of the crew, the strong brave ones who were courageous enough, who ventured to compete with others in athletics, but they did little of note. I.ittlc spectacular flying was done that first year, except a tailspin in the form of an assembly and a party or two. You sec it was an inexperienced group. Then the first landing came. The next year an viving, came back to time they were as they used their talents team, and others tried sports. Five debaters Music came to be the they merrily sang as was very greatly in- enthusiastic group, 46 of the old crew sur-try it again. Isabel Devine was pilot. This strong, noisy, and intelligent as usual, but to advantage. Some made the football for basketball, as well as for the other and one orator were found in their midst, guiding star of this Red and White” and they strove onward. The honor roll, too, creased by their numbers. But again the plane descended and the second trip was done. The third year, a wiser and a more industrious group, calling themselves Juniors, came back. They again chose Henry Mosher pilot. That year they showed the world that one should Turn to the Right,” by a play. They continued in athletics and showed a competing plane, Seniors” how to throw a baseball. The Red and White” speakers in the differ-year by having the speakers, and six detournament..

Of this group, one of member of the state champion judging their trip, though, did this class forget knew their abe’s always, and received high having the highest individual in scholarship turned into memories. The fourth and last trip the plane was to make commenced with 34 passengers, with Lawrence Morey as pilot. As they passed over the largest city in the world, they all yelled and acted So This Is London,” a huge success of a play. They were musical leaders having three members of the well known quartet, a girls’ sextet, and many members in glee clubs, orchestra, and chorus. They were mental leaders as well, having highest class honors. Many of their members entered the public speaking field and there again were successful by having a prize dcclaimer, an extemporaneous speaker, and five debaters. In athletics, they contributed loyal support and many active members who did their best. This class also proved themselves good entertainers in giving dances and parties. At last, the Red and White” had a forced landing at the city of Graduation.” They could no longer be carried. Singly and separately they departed retaining beautiful memories of their happy flight as an encouragement for new trails.

The first outing was a wiener roast which was held at Griswold Springs. Everyone ate wieners, roasted marshmallows, and had a splendid time even though it rained. The Juniors have established a record that will long be remembered. A number of Juniors distinguished themselves on the athletic field. Even though it may sound boastful, the class of ’30 is the most athletically inclined in S. T. H. S. The boys distinguished themselves by winning the inter-class basketball tourney. One of the high lights of this year was the Junior play, The Touchdown,” coached by Miss McDonald. It was a great success in every way. The proceeds from the play were used to defray the expenses of the Junior-Senior banquet. The Junior-Senior banquet was held May third. It was a splendid success due largely to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Wright. The Juniors can look backward and feel very proud of their past record. They look forward to one more year in dear old S. T. H. S., and, as dignified seniors, they hope to set up a new standard for under classmen to strive toward.

No wonder! The Sophomores had returned. Of course we knew just how to go after a thing, but—how we did sympathize with the poor freshman. They were a perfect portrayal of our bewildered lot when we gathered to learn the further rudiments of readin’, ritin’, a-nd ’rithmetic the year before. The first meeting of the Sophomore class was held to elect class officers. The ones chosen were as follows: Alfred Woodward, President; Genevieve Lowry, Vice-President; and Leone Creasy, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Houston, our class advisor superintended the meeting. The first event of the year was a wiener roast, held at Griswold Springs. Everyone enjoyed the cats and games. In the cold of the winter, our jolly group journeyed to Stewart’s Hill at Plano and later refreshments were enjoyed at Whitfield’s. When it comes to athletics, the Sophomore class is strictly in it. Our class answered the call of athletics in every sense. The basketball team was made up of: Alfred Woodward, Captain; Robert Gcnglcr, Clarence Massat, Jack Flynn, and Arthur Killey. Although we didn’t cop the banner, we certainly gave the other classes a hard fight. In public speaking our class did shine. Several members were out for both humorous and dramatic declamation, also oratory. Tradition has it that Sophomores are silly. This class is an exception to the rule, for it has not only behaved very well but has also made a splendid scholastic record. We’ve been here two years now, old High, We intend to stick the rest; And from the class of ’31 You may expect the best.

T. H. S. After a few days of getting the class rooms mixed we were able to find our w'ay about the building and settle down to the regular routine. On October 24, the freshmen had a wiener roast at Knights' cottage. A snipe hunt was the principal event of the evening, but Jean Thompson was the only snipe we found. Again on February sixth we had a coasting party over at Stewart’s Hill in Plano. After a great deal of fun we all went to a restaurant where we both warmed up and filled up. The freshman class was well represented in all outside activities. In athletics, Thorval Johnson was our one letter man; but we also had five numeral men. They were Robert McGregor, Donald Cortright, Frederic Schrader, Lawrence Fanning and Joseph Hartman. In the declamatory contest Charlotte Southwick was our only contestant. Frederic Schcidecker and Robert Bowen entered the oratorical contest, Frederic winning first place at Sandwich and placing second at Leland. Also Joseph Hartman represented Sandwich in a musical contest at Urbana and played in the state orchestra. In girls’ athletics a basket ball team composed of all freshmen girls but one representing the second hour class won a game played with a team of senior girls representing the fourth hour class thus giving the second hour class the championship. The members of this team were Isabel Rohm, captain, Harriet Lett, Pauline Sweeney, Ardella Brower, Ellen Francis and Helen Hartmann. The outstanding social event of the Freshmen year was the annual Freshman-Eighth Grade Reception. The Eighth Grade was presented with a green horseshoe to help them remember that they are now green freshmen. The Freshmen class is quite noted for their ability to make a great deal of noise in class. All the teachers will agree with this. Soon the freshmen will become sophomores and will have passed through one of the most enjoyable yet educational years of their high school career. Oskee Wow—Wow! Skinny Wow--------Wow!

S. have been successful. Although we did not win any championships, our teams will go down as clean, hard fighting, and sportsmanlike. Coaches Allen and Wright have had cooperation at all times. Although our football record does not look particularly impressive, our team was up against one of the toughest schedules in the history of the school. Playing for the most part against schools larger than our own, but fellows managed to give a creditable account of themselves at all times. We had a heavy team this year, but we were handicapped by the small number which turned out (only around twenty men finishing the season). The prospects for next year are just fair. Six regulars will be lost by graduation. Our basketball team placed third in the Little Ten Conference this year and third in the Little Ten Tournament. This was a very creditable showing considering that the team was green, having only one regular from last year. Our team was made up of small fellows, but they overcame their handicap in size by clever passing and faster playing than their opponents. Special mention should be made of our lightweight team which placed first in the Little Ten lightweight division. Although the team was made up mostly of men playing their first year of basketball, they displayed some good basket shooting and passing. The prospects for next year in basketball are bright as not a regular is lost. Track prospects this year arc not quite as good as in previous years. We lost some good men in the dashes and other events. However, we have a couple of men who have good prospects of placing in the state meet. Morey has been putting the shot quite a distance and Felder has been running the mile and half in very fast time. Most of the men arc new at track and ought to develop into good men by another year’s time. The relay team of ’28, composed of Hickey, Paulson, Graves and Christensen, was one of the best in years. The trophey case contains an especially beautiful cup, the award for the winning of the Little Ten relay, which the boys had no trouble in cap- Thc season of ’29 did not start with any great success. The first meet of the year was a dual with Waterman, which Sandwich lost by about twenty points. S. T. H. S. placed second in the triangular meet with Plano and Rollo. On April twenty-fifth part of the team journeyed to DeKalb where S. T. H. S. easily won the meet. The writer feels that this victory is one of the most significant of the year, since DeKalb is a much larger school than Sandwich. Laurence Morey, a Senior, again proved himself worthy ot honor when he vaulted an eleven foot bar throughout the season. He is recognized as one of the most outstanding vaultcrs in northern Illinois. Although S. T. H. S. does not support a varsity baseball team, the competition between classes is always strong. In 1928 and 1929, the championship was won by the class of 29, under the almost professional-like leadership of one of their pitchers. Jack Chapman. S. T. H.

T. H. S. students. But. since these clubs play a large part in the academic and social life of many students and tend toward better democracy among us, the Reflector staff, in this short subsequent review, attempts to present some of the year’s most outstanding events in relation to these activities. FRENCH CLUB President Marv Johnson Vice-President -FO Huttf.r Secretary and Treasurer Isabi l Devine The French Club was organized under the direction of Miss Steinhauser soon after school commenced. We hope that the press will pardon our borrowing a much usjd phrase when we say that our Christmas party was a remarkable success and an cnioyab.e time was had by all,” and S. T. H. S. saw one of the junior girls leading a little wooden dog left by Ic Perc Noel,” for several days. The Box Social given by the French Club has come to be an annual event. Throughout the year the French Club has been successful in everything they attempted. HOME EC. CLUB President Phofbf. Lett Vice President Althea Lowry Secretary and Treasurer Leone Creasy Even those of S. T. H. S. who arc not directly connected with the Home he. Club will remember their contributions in the line of entertainment and their interest in school activities. , . Two short plays were presented. These plays made one of the most interesting assemblies of the year. The Club entertained the girls of the high school one afternoon and demonstrated table etiquette in pantomime. A lunch was served for those who stayed. LATIN CLUB OFFICERS President Dorothy Kfsslar Vice-President Harriet Lett Secretary Pauline Sweeney Treasurer Helen Johnson Perhaps the most important event of the present year was the Roman Banquet given in true Roman style including food and costume. The Club also gave an interesting assembly showing that Latin had risen from the dead and furnishes the basis of our own language. Programs are given at the monthly meetings of the Club and games are played. G. A. A. President Phern Eastman Vice-President DA Rickert Treasurer Helen Johnson Secretary Harriet Lett It may not be long before we see the girls wearing sweaters with big orange letters on them. The G. A. A. has a point system for athletics including tennis, baseball, basketball, track, swimming and many others. Letters are awarded when one hundred points are obtained. There is an annual gym exhibit given by the girls and the money received helps them to carry on their work. Forty-seven REFLECTOR 5 tIi DfKr O u | c. I V 5.

It is composed of two persons front each class and an advisor from the faculty. This organization has proved its worth several times throughout the year by making just decisions on the problems that arose. The purpose of this group is to maintain and extend cooperation and harmony and to bring about a better understanding between individual students and classes, also the faculty and student body. When the matter was brought up before the council, the Juniors were given the concessions for the football and basketball games because they have so much expense from the Junior-Senior Banquet. The District Tournament was held at Aurora March eighth and the council decided that school should be dismissed for the entire day. It was left to the classes to arrange a method by which the afternoon session could be made up. OFFICERS Helen Rood President Helen Johnson Vice-President Glendon Potter Secretary AGRICULTURE ACTIVITIES The Dairy and Fat Stock Judging Teams started off last spring by both placing first against 14 schools in the North East Section of the state at a contest held at Sugar Grove. Their score, added to our poultry and grain judging score totaled more than any other school, and so our boys won three out of five of the first place pennants offered. These same teams competed against 11 8 other schools consisting of over 1000 contestants at the state contest in June at Urbana. There the Fat Stock team took first honors, the Dairy team fourth place, the Poultry team eighth, and the grain team fifteenth. We won the All-around Judging honors for the state. Each member of the Fat Stock team received a gold medal and Mr. Eade received two medals for having coached two State Championship teams. The Fat Stock team had the honor of representing Illinois at the National Contest at Kansas City in November. With keen competition, in a field of 30 teams, the boys won sixteenth place. The Fat Stock team had the honor of representing Illinois at the National Contest at Kansas City in November. With keen competition, in a field of 30 teams, the boys won sixteenth place. Clarence Lundeen succeeded in making the heaviest ton-litter for the County from ten pigs, weighing 2313 pounds. Darrell Wesson made 97 bushels of No. 2 corn in an acre yield contest. These two boys submitted their stories to a Project Story Contest put on by the Chicago Daily Drover’s Journal” for Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. Clarence won fifth place and Darrell fifteenth. For Illinois they ranked third and seventh, respectively. Some of the things the Ag.” Department are doing for the community are: testing seed corn for disease; pruning trees, shrubs, and vines; testing milk and cream; testing soil for acidity; caponizing and advising concerning the many things along the line of Agriculture. The course of study covers nearly the whole line of Agriculture. After a boy graduates, he is equipped to go out as a cow tester. Mr. Eade has not had boys enough to fill the positions offered to graduates. While these boys are learning they also have a chance to earn money. Their instructor insists that if a boy will work hard during his high school course, he can have $1000 in the bank when he graduates. •orty-nine 1929 I 3oi� trt K' EfV ooO-V D -V t 6tu6?

Five experienced debaters returned—Mary Johnson, Isabel Devine, Helen Rood, Helen Coy, and Laurence Morey, and with the addition of one new member, Alfred Puhan, a Sophomore, the teams were complete. Sandwich, as usual, joined the state league, and they debated the question leading to the state tournament, Resolved: That the present policy of the United States in the Caribbean area should be condemned.’’ The Sandwich teams presented clear emphatic cases, many judges commenting that they were the best organized cases on this question that they had heard. Most of the credit for the success of the teams is due to the unresting efforts of their coach, Mr. Thokey—as some one has said, Anybody can get up and talk, but it takes brains to figure out a good argument.” In the first debate of the season the affirmative team lost to Leland at Leland by a decision of three to nothing. The negative team defeated Leland at Sandwich, also by a unanimous decision. Later the negative team travelled to Marseilles, defeating the Marseilles affirmative team by a score of 3 to o. On April 9, the Rockton negative team visited Sandwich. The affirmative team defeated Rockton by a unanimous decision. Sandwich, with three other high teams of the Northern district, Waukegan, Spring Valley and Leland, entered the district tournament at De Kalb and won 11 points out of a possible 12. All the teams entered understood the question and presented well organized, difficult cases. But the Sandwich teams managed to uphold their record in their usual competent manner and represented the school May 16, 17, 18, at the state meet at Macomb. ORATORY Never before in the history of the High School was there exhibited such a great interest in public speaking as in this year. The enthusiasm of the pupils was displayed when twenty-two contestants entered the various phases of public speaking. There were thirteen contestants in the home dramatic declamation contest. The elimination contest was held on two separate days. The contestants were Helen Johnson, Alice Whiteis, Leone Creasy, Lola Schumaker, Helen Loeb, Agatha Lindner, Helen Rood, Helen Coy, Althea Lowry, Phoebe Lett, Dolly Petty, Marian Wilson and Marian Wheeler. In the final home contest Phoebe Lett won the right to represent S. T. H. S. in the contest held at Leland, April 3, 1929. A new phase of public speaking this year was the humorous declamation. The contestants were Las'one Higgins, Naomi Hcrbig, and Charlotte Southwick. Lavone Higgins won this contest. Four boys entered the home oratory contest. The contestants were: Henry Mosher, Frederic Scheidecker, Alfred Puhan and Robert Bowen. Frederic Scheidecker won the honor to represent our high school in the contest at Leland. Two boys prepared for extemporaneous speaking; namely, Lawrence Morey and Harrison Lindner. Due to illness, Lawrence Morey had to forfeit the contest to Harrison Lindner. Henry Mosher, one of the school orators for three years, won the district contest at DcKalb and represented S. T. H. S. in the state contest at Macomb.

The girls received credit for their hard work by winning first place at the district contest at DcKalb and by their splendid showing at the state contest at Macomb. The contest songs were: River River” and Rest Thee on This Mossy Pillow.” Our girls placed second. At the beginnig of the year, there were twenty-seven girls chosen for the glee club after all the girls in the high school had their voices tested. Again there had to be an elimination because sixteen was the required number for the contests at the district and the state. The girls helped raise money for the fund which was needed to send them to Macomb, by selling tags on tag day and tickets for the benefit concert held Tuesday evening, May 14. The glee club sang for many entertainments which were held during the year; both for school and community activities. MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus has made an outstanding record for S. T. H. S. this year with the efficient help of Miss Russell. It is composed of the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs. They had much pleasure in caroling at Christmas time. They went to different homes and sang Christmas carols for the sick and disabled. The sixteen members of each glee club which made up the Mixed Chorus were awarded first place at both the sub-district and district contests at DcKalb. This made them eligible for the state finals. They entered the State Contest at Macomb held May 16, 17, and 18, and were awarded first place. The contest numbers were: Legend,” by Tschaikowsky (a cappella) and The Builder,” by Cadman. The music department was awarded three cups at Macomb. The largest cup was given by Governor Louis L. Emmerson to Sandwich for winning more points than any other high school at the contest, regardless of class. In order to be eligible to receive this cup, Sandwich had to be represented also in the public speaking department. Another cup was awarded to the music department because of winning the contest in Class B. A third cup was awarded to the Mixed Chorus for placing first in the state. BOYS’ QUARTETTE One of the most popular organizations of the year is the boys’ quartette composed of Glcndon Potter, Harrison Lindner, Donald Roscntreter, and Henry Mosher, with Helen Hartman as accompanist. This group is probably more popularly known as Louie and The Hungry Five.” This is also under the direction of Miss Russell. The Boys’ Quartette started their work at the beginning of the year and have sung at many places since. They afforded music at the basketball tournament at Hinckley in February. Banquets and social gatherings inside and out of school have not seemed quite complete without the Boys’ Quartette there ready with a song or two. The Quartette in company with the Mixed Chorus had the pleasure of broadcasting from W. L. S. on June 1st. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Even though the Boys’ Glee Club won first place at the Little Ten last year, they feel that they have been more successful this year. They have appeared before the Woman’s Club and other school and social activities. Sixteen boys were chosen for the contest. The contest numbers were: The Song of the Defenders,” by Cox, and Pale in the Amber West,” by Cox. The Boys’ Glee Clubs, having won the sub-district and district contests at DeKalb by default, were eligible to enter the State Contest held at Macomb, May 16, 17 and 18. They were awarded the banner for second place in Class B.

At the beginning of the year, the orchestra gained several new members. All the members have been very faithful and energetic workers. The sole answer to the question of the orchestra’s success is our director. Miss Russell. Without her they never could have accomplished the things they have accomplished. The orchestra furnished music at all entertainments during the year. Rehearsals were held every Thursday; its time varying from the eighth period, after school, and in the evening. The membership is as follows: Viol in i Helen Rood Joseph Hartman Mildred Converse Joyce Sherman Lucille Bernard Glendon Potter Sedelle Hanson Saxophone Darrell Wesson Baritone William Marselus Cornets Donald Cortright Austin Knights Clarinets Mildred Knights Katherine Knights Frederic Schrader Flute Browning Knights Piano Althea Lowry Drums Mr. Haskin Alto Horn Robert Coakes Director Miss K. Russell X-RAY This year’s X-Ray staff had planned to enlarge the school paper, making a six-page six-weeks’ paper instead of the four-page two-weeks’ paper of last year. However, because of a lack of funds it was necessary to publish only a four-page paper every six weeks. The business manager did very well in adding to the funds obtained by subscriptions by securing advertisements, thus obtaining sufficient funds to finance the cost of four issues. Especial credit should be given to the news editors, Alfred Puhan and Helen Loeb, and to Mr. Haskin, who helped the staff out several times when it was short of material. He has acted as faculty advisor this year. The school paper should fill a very important place in school life. It is a chronicle of all events of the school year, such as athletics, dramatics, music, and other school activities. Because of its importance everyone in the school ought to be interested in a school paper and give his whole-hearted support to it. The staff needs the support of the school—if they do not have it, they cannot do their best work. Therefore, the aim of the staff next year will be to secure a looty subscription list, and thus be able to give the student body and others who are interested in the school activities the best paper the school has ever published.

Two of his early teachers, now living in Sandwich, arc: Mrs. William Beattys, formerly Miss Mary McKindley, and W. W. Woodbury.

After he left Sandwich, he continued his education at Obcrlin Academy and Northwestern University. He taught in the Hubbard district and was principal of the schools at Paw Paw and at Shabbona.

Mr. von Klein Smid is a man of very fine character. He is loyal to old friends and has the ability to win the friendship of almost every one he meets. He is also very generous. His generosity is shown by his willingness to help worthy students with their education. He is married and has one daughter who graduated from his own school, the University of Southern California. He has a beautiful home in Los Angeles, and he always deems it a privilege to extend a hearty welcome to any one of his many Sandwich friends. He seems to be as proud of them as they are of him.

Sixty-two REFLECTOR HUMOR If you can’t laugh at the joke of the age, laugh at the age of the joke. You can always count on me,” said the adding machine. Oh, I would be a teacher And with the teachers stand; A fountain pen behind my ear— A notebook in my hand. Because of all the work they do, I wouldn’t be a King; I wouldn’t be an Emperor For all the wealth 'twould bring; I wouldn’t be a birdie, For birdies have to sing— But I would be a teacher And never do a thing. Frcshie— Say, when day breaks, where do the pieces go?” —Luther, will you please run up the blind? —Well, I’m not much of an athlete, but I’ll try it once. Miss Houston (in History class)—What great man do you think of when you put coal on the fire? Rachael Hinman—Philip the Grate. Tracks of centipedes remind us If we had those shoes to fill. We would die and leave behind us. An enormous unpaid bill. Scott Harrod (Recalling that awful chemistry test)— ’Twas the eighteenth of April in ’29—hardly a Senior is now alive—.” Bob Stolp—Say, the jokes in the last X-Ray were terrible.

Jo Bcitcl—Yes, I know, but Wally’s watch isn’t going. Father—Well, how about Wally? Salesman—(after three hours of trying to sell a car)— Now I’ll throw in the clutch.” Mr. Eade— I’ll take her, then. 1 knew if I waited long enough.

Harrison Lindner and Henry Mosher were discussing their Chemistry thesis: Hank—What are you going to write on? Harrison—Paper. Miss Coleman asks the English II class to write some poetry. Alfred Woodward wrote this: To flirt or dance is very wrong. I don’t. Wild youths chase women, wine and song. I don’t. I kiss no girls, not even one. I do not know how it is done; You wouldn’t think I’d have much fun. I don’t.” He was showing her through the locomotive works. What’s that big thing over there?” she asked. That’s the locomotive boiler.” Why do they boil the locomotive?” To make the locomotive tender.” Are we going to have white dresses for the banquet?” was one of the questions asked at the Senior class meeting the other night.
