The buildings and surroundings, the equipment we have, and the well qualified instructors which they have procured for us all, make S. T. H. S. a place worth going to for a good secondary education. It is with regret that we are losing some of our present board members; Mr. L. H. Kellam, our very efficient president for the past four years, who has resigned on account of illness; and Mr. M. E. Lake. We welcome the newly elected ones, and pledge our cooperation to them — Dr. N. M. Ogilvie, our new president, and Mr. C. R. Brady, who has been elected to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Lake. Our 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 a Christian character; second, to challenge the interest of a student by a course of study which shall lay the foundation for a broader, technical and cultural education; finally, to provide for 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 teacher-pupil ratio is on the average 1 to 1 8, thus assuring a much needed individualization of instruction. Our school is identified with the North Central Association and is fully accredited with the University of Illinois, and colleges in other states. This means that our students may enter these institutions on the basis of our certificate of graduation. We offer a comprehensive course of study, and 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? BOARD OF EDUCATION, Lynn G. Haskin, Superintendent. Page 13 Reflectors Ben C. Eade Sandwich. Illinois Agriculture, Commercial Geography University of Illinois. B.

During the way it has been a great pleasure to be in the halls of learning; and now when we think of leaving, a note of sadness arises. We cannot forget all the happy times, for they will remain with us forever. In the beginning all look forward to the time when school worries will be over, and little docs any one realize how fast the time will go until he himself comes so quickly to the time for departure. The days have gone all too soon, leaving only satisfied memories of our school life. After considering all the hours spent in school, one realizes that they are not wasted years, but that they are steps toward a real education. Everyone desires a good education, and for this reason we cannot forget these four years which mean so much. Therefore, in leaving this school we will always remember the time spent within its walls as being very important years in our lives. —Martha Lundeen.

During the first year the class was represented in nearly every activitiv. Two of the boys won distinction as football players, and as a result were awarded the varsity “S”. The class was interested in their studies as well as activities, and quite a few of our members were placed on the honor roll. The next year the class came back with a determination to go places and to do things. All the bovs turned out for athletics, and most of them won a place on either some lightweight or heavyweight team. Many of the girls and boys joined the glee clubs, dramatic clubs, etc. During our Sophomore year the X-Ray gave a benefit play, and a large part of the cast was made up of Sophomores. The Sophomore year gave the C lass of ’30 a taste of school life and its activities, and the best part of it was they liked it. The result was that the next year, as Juniors, we set a pace for all the classes. Two of the boys were members of a livestock judging team which won the State Championship. In athletics Juniors were seen everywhere. All of the boys that went out for football carried away their share of the honors, and in basketball four of the six letter men were Juniors. The class basketball tournament was easily won by our boys (guess we’d better not recall the faculty 9-X victory over us), and the indoor baseball tournament was added to our list of achievements this same year. The glee clubs and mixed chorus had a very successful year in 29 and it is interesting to note that there were a number of Juniors in these activities. The high spot of the year is designated by the Junior play—“The Touchdown.” Next to this came the Junior-Senior reception. Under the skillful management of our class advisor, Mrs. Wright, a very enjoyable evening was spent by everyone who attended. On Sept. 9, 1929, 37 students, 33 of whom had been classmates for 3 years, returned to the dear old school as dignified Seniors. The same school interest was shown in their studies and extra curricular activities as before. Nine seniors played in the last game of football, four played on the first team in basketball, and seven were out for track. The glee clubs included a large number from the Senior class. The greatest event of the year was the very successful play, “Peg O’ My Heart.” Now our high school days are over. The old class will split up, and may be separated from one another by many miles. However, I am sure no distance can erase the feeling which was contracted between us as classmates, and we will always remember our high school days as the happiest days of our lives. —Darrell Wesson. Page 26 % Reflectors SENIOR CLASS WILL ANI) PROPHECY The Will— We, the Seniors of Sandwich Township High School, Class of 1930, having done our utmost and having been fully convinced how utterly hopeless our case has been, is, and will be, have discarded all cherished hopes of living to a ripe old age and are calmly awaiting our timely death. However, we intend to die with a clear conscience therefore, we are drawing up a last will and testament so that our survivors will not quarrel over our amassed wealth namely, a bad reputation and an ability to just get through. To the teachers of S. T. H. S. we leave a profound feeling of peace and quiet, and only hope that the overwhelming quiet will not drive them to distraction. We will come back once a month to run around the halls and make a lot of noise so as to break our passing easily. To the Juniors we will our high standing in grades. We know how few the Juniors ha e on the Honor Roll, and believe that with our help they will come in for fourth place. To the Sophomores we bequeath our skill in athletics—both girls and boys. We feel that if the Sophomores had just a little bit more help, they would do very well. Therefore, we are unselfishly extending our help to them. To the Freshmen we will our overwhelming dignity. The dear little Freshmen would never get along without the supreme examples set them of the dignity of the Seniors and, since we no longer need it, we delight in giving it to the darling freshmen. I, Gurnie Anderson, leave my quiet disposition to Alice Whiteis. I, Marjorie Anderson, bequeath my curls to Margaret Hodgson. I, Florence Barrows, give my dignity and reserve to Virdelle Wesson. I, Gladys Cortright, bestow my affinity for red hair to Edna Nelson. I, Lloyd Fritsch, do cheerfully give my nickname, “Horse,” to Lawrence Fanning. I, Betty Ballou, leave my delight and success in vamping to Bessie Spach. I, Daniel Ballou, bequeath to Leon Wood my carefree disposition, also my position as comedian in S. T. H. S. I, Jessie Johnson, leave my ability to flirt to Dorothy hritsch. I, Katherine Knights, leave my powder, lipstick, rouge, etc., to Helen Johnson. I, Kenneth Erwin, bequeath to Stanley Hagen, my fascination for work. I, Charles Creascy, bestow on Alfred Puhan my everlasting grin. I, Louise Bernhardt, wish that the balance in our class treasury be used to buy gum that may be used for the next typing class, said gum to be placed in care of Lillie Larson. I, Mildred Converse, will my dainty manners to Grace Voris. 1, Russell Cooper, leave my basketball suit to Palmer Erford, with the hope that it will not need altering. I, Douglas Graves, bequeath my love for under-classmen to Alfred Woodward. I, Edith Brownfield, do leave my success as a chorus girl to Katherine Potter. I, Katherine Cramer, w ill my handbook of instructions on “How to Rob the Cradle” to Eleanor Stolp. I, Leo Hutter, bequeath my ability to talk in English class to Robert Gengler. I, Helen Huth, leave a huge donation to the library. I am giving all of my letters from Budd, filed neatly and according to type needed, and a book on how to use them, to be used as a reference (by boys, of course) on how to write genuine love letters. I, Martha Lundeen, leave my rattling good Ford to Lewis Coakes so that he can get to school on time each morning (that is, if he doesn't have a blowout). I, Cecelia Miller, leave my quiet, studious and dignified manners to Ellen Francis. I, Florence Newtson, will a lock of my hair to Frederic Schrader. I, Arthur Peterson, bequeath my quietness to Joe Hartman. Page 27 %ReelectoR ° I, Glendon Potter, leave my musical ability to George Skinner. 1, Ida Rickert, bequeath to Charlotte Southwick all my ambition. I, Robert Stolp, do leave my manly ways to Jack Flynn. I, Joyce Sherman, do bestow upon Myrtle Rogers my popularity with the sterner sex. Handle with care. Myrtle. I, Harley Travis, leave my retiring disposition and terror of anything feminine to Pete Massat. I, Martha Tuttle, bequeath my fairy-like ways to Edna Martin. I, Darrell Wesson, will two pigs to Thorval Johnson. I, Marion Wilson, being an unusual, unselfish girl, and willing to spread sunshine, give to the public my remedy of “How to make slender persons plump.” I, Donald Dean, bequeath to anyone who will accept it, my histrionic gifts. Most important dates can be found in my Chemistry Book. I, Florence Smithers, will five inches of my extra height to Jean Thompson. We, Carl Scent and Arthur Dalstel, do leave our good report cards to Howard Rschenberg and Lester Claude. You may need them, children. I, Margaret Lindvall, do leave my ability for talking in assembly to Alda Miller. And to this, our last w ill and testament, we the Seniors, do attach our seal, declaring it wholly legal and signed in the presence of Harold D. Carnahan as witness. —Margaret Lindvali. Kathkrini Knights The Prophecy Paris, France June 1, 1945 Dear Old Snake-Eye: How’s the old snake-charmer anyhow: I just recovered from a slight concussion of the dome caused by falling off Eiffel Tower. Those things do happen, you know. However, I was content in the hospital. Betty Ballou was my nurse and Edith Brownfield my manicurist. Both of their names now end in “ski.” 1 guess the old world isn’t so small after all, is it? During my convalescence I went to a movie and in the vaudeville I saw the famous Anderson sisters. 1 enjoyed their dances immensely. Last time I was in Paris I stayed at the Ritzmore Hostelry. I was very intimate with the chief bouncer, who was my old schoolmate, Russell Cooper. For sake of variety, Russ and I went to a magician’s tent. Here we found Florence Barrows successfully hypnotizing many people. On the way home we rode the tramway, and whom should we sec Page 28 but Carl Scent as conductor. While we chatted about obi times, a dog was killed by the car. Immediately, the president of the society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals appeared, and we were surprised to find him to lx Daniel Ballou. You asked me what became of Katherine Cramer. She is conducting a French school for wealthy American tourists. After leaving Paris I went to Lyons to visit the silk industry. There, imagine my surprise to find Louise Bernhardt head of a silk weaving department! She told me that Gladys Cort-right used all the silk in her exclusive silk dress shop at Paris. Louise seems to be making money. I took a plane to Greece. I couldn’t miss that old, romantic country after all I had studied about it in ancient history. I dropped into a Greek confectionery. To my amazement, I found Mildred Converse waiting on tables. She liked working for Greeks so well that she left America for the real thing. Well, I must leave now for Valencia. Hope to see you soon. Aloysius. %ReelectoR ° Monte Carlo, Italy June 13, 1945 Mv Most Beloved Aloysius: Since my departure from New York, to this day, many things have happened, both unexpected and alarming. This morning when the daily paper was brought to me, I was quite astonished to find that Arthur Dalstel, the Duke of Abyssinia, having returned from his boyhood home, is reported to have eloped with Florence Smithers, the well-known Duchess of Gorganzola. They are honeymooning in I rkutsk, Siberia. Her father is in hot pursuit on his camel train, followed by his noble assistant, Charles Creasev, who is known all over the world for his ability in training boa-constrictors. Donald Dean has begun a chain of bologna stores in Vienna, Berlin, and Hamburg, with Darrell Wesson as assistant, on account of his experience with hogs. On my arrival at Monte Carlo, my firs? acquaintance was with Sir Glendon Potter, the successful manager of the roulette tables at the Casino. Due to the many riots and killings, Sir Robert Stolp thought it a great place for his flower business. He has acquired the aid of Ida Rickert, the well-known paint artist in preparing attractive window displays on the main drag. During the initial excitement I was bounced upon by the mob and, upon returning to consciousness, beheld myself in the arms of Joyce Sherman, the city chiropractor. During the following week the city was entertained by the world’s latest trapeze artists, Pierre and Prudence, otherwise known as Harley Travis and Martha Tuttle. Brother Scotchman, our nationality are few down here. On ending this epistle, I continue to look about as an insectarian. The Prophet Ezekiel. Venezuela, South America June 5, 1945 Dear Ezekiel: Since I left New York I have been busv chasing snakes in Venezuela. A1 left New York with us and I hear that he is traveling all over Europe as a war correspondent for the Sandwich Free Press. Lloyd Fritsch has surely brought fame to our class in horse racing, too, hasn’t her I hear that this year he won the Kentucky Derby in the fastest time it has ever been run. I saw a friend of mine from Paris, and he tells me that Douglas Graves sets the styles for the world by what he wears. He’s a modern Beau Brummel. Helen Huth is pining away for men with big feet and black hair. They tell me she’s a sailor’s sweetheart. Leo H utter, the champion raiser of Rose-comb roosters, says that his success is due to Mr. Eade’s teaching. Jessie Johnson, who was one of the women evangelists in Moodie’s Tabernacle, is now head master of a religious colony at Northville. I saw Katherine Knights the other day, and have since hired her as a typist. Boy, she can typewrite faster than I can talk about my pet subject, “snakes.” Aloysius must have seen Martha Lundeen in Paris. I’ve seen pictures of her as the leading dancer in “The Paris Follies.” Margaret Lindvall is still around Sandwich, isn’t she: I heard that she married a Swede and settled down on a farm. Cecelia Miller is busy in Argentina now. She is the chief buyer for Pillsbury Flour Company. Florence Newtson is working as a stenographer in the S. M. I haven’t heard much about Arthur Peterson. I don’t know, but I think he has a fleet of 3,000 taxicabs in New York City. He surely must have a taxi business in that case. Don’t forget that I’m always anxious to hear about the rest of the members of the Class of ’30—so w rite soon. “Snake-Eyf.” Crkasf.y Kenneth Erwin Carl Scent Charles Crkasf.y Page 29 %ReelecioR R.

It was a big class both in number and in feeling. After a few weeks enough order was secured to have a class meeting. Alfred Woodward was chosen for our Class President j Alfred Puhan, Vice-President; Agatha Lindner, Secretary'; Dorothy Kesslar, Treasurer, and Miss Hennis, Class Advisor. Our motto, “Not at the top, but climbing,” was chosen, and the class colors decided upon were purple and white. We were well represented in all extra curricular activities. At the beginning of our Sophomore year the following class officers were elected. Alfred Woodward, President; Genevieve Lowry, Vic.--President; Leone Creasey, Secretary and Treasurer, and Miss Houston, Class Advisor; all worthy of their positions. We had many social gatherings this year; the first event being a wiener roast at Griswold Springs. Then came coasting parties at Stewart’s Hill in Plano, picnics, dances, etc. In athletic's we made a great showing. We had several members out for humorous and dramatic declamation, and for oratory. We were represented by a member on the debating team. In the fall of 1929, when the curtain of time rose on us as sophisticated Juniors, we elected Helen Johnson as our Class President; Barbara Hartman, Vice-President; Arthur Killey, Secretary and Treasurer, and Miss Aegerter for our Class Advisor. This year proved to be even more record-breaking than before. Some members of our Class made both the basketball and football teams, and were prominent in track. Three of our members were chosen for the double quartet to represent S. T. H. S. in music at Champaign, Illinois. Numerous others were in the Glee Clubs and Choruses. Again we were well represented in public speaking and several members were chosen for the debating teams. As the greatest honor of all, we had more members on the honor roll than any of the classes. There was the usual Junior Dance, and, last but not least, the Junior-Senior Reception. In closing we bid all our lower classmates farewell the reputation of the Juniors of 1929-30. with the w ish that they, too, may keep up —Lola Schumaker. Page 31 % Reflector .o C. Southwick, H.

Cortright SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 9, 1929, the large ocean liner “Sophomore” set sail on its second trip around the world in search of knowledge. The previous year the ship—then called “Freshman” with a four-man crew consisting of Robert McGregor, captain; Joseph Hartman, first mate; Frederic Schrader, scribe, and Donald Cortright, keeper of the funds, set sail September 10, on a trip around the world stopping at such widely known ports of interest as a weiner roast, a coasting party, the Freshman-Eighth Grade Reception, declamation, music, oratory, and athletics. Since this was the first tour, only a few left the ship at each stop. Charlotte Southwick left us at the declamation port. Frederic Scheidecker and Robert Bowen at the port of oratory, Thorval Johnson at the widely known port of athletics, and Joseph Hartman at the port of music, representing the school in a state orchestra. For the second voyage Robert Bowen was made captain, Frederic Schrader, first mate, and Pauline Sweeney, scribe and keeper of the funds. A wider variety of ports was visited at which a greater number of passengers left the ship. At the athletic port Thorval Johnson, Frederic Schrader, and Robert Brown won letters, while Joseph Hartman, Howard Eschenberg, Donald Cortright, and Robert Bowen won numerals. In the port of declamation Jean Thompson and Charlotte Southwick left the ship in the interest of humorous declamation. Frederic Scheidecker, Robert McGregor, and Harriet Lett left the ship at the port of debate. Frederic Scheidecker was the only one to leave in the oratory port. In the musical port O'Della Olson, Jean Thompson, Frederic Schrader, Joseph Hartman, and Donald Cortright represented the “Sophomore,” in the school operetta, “Once in a Blue Moon.” O'Della Olson and Joseph Hartman with six others were represented in a state chorus held at Urbana. Now the “Sophomore” is nearing the home harbor again where it will spend the summer months being prepared for its third voyage. —Harriet Lett. Page 33 Reflectors K. Larson, R. Whitcis, l Kish, L.

How grown-up they felt!—until they made a few mistakes, as running around the lower hall looking for the algebra room which is on the third floor. But Freshmen are expected to make a few mistakes to let the upper classmen know they are really Freshmen. No sooner had school taken up than things began to hum. Long assignments, in entirely new subjects, under the new teachers and in entirely new surroundings made life hardly worth the living at first. We soon got used to the routine, and when we came to the place where we could laugh at one another’s foolishness and greenness, existence—yes existence—became pleasanter. When it came to extra curricular activities, the Freshman Class did its part nobly, hive “little” Freshmen girls sang their way into Glee Club and helped win honors for it. I hey were Irene Otto, Jane Phelps, Elizabeth Hammond, Hazel Gunderson, and Genevieve Kuehlem. Several Freshmen boys, Palmer Erford, Charles Fish, Charles Boget, Merle Moore, John Vlack and Robert Whiteis went out for football and other athletics. Many of the Freshmen girls went out for humorous and dramatic declamations. Dramatic— Mardell Higgins; Humorous—Virdelle Wesson, Charlotte Swenson, Genevieve Kuehlem, and Hazel Gunderson. The Freshman Class of ’30 has only started—wait until it finishes! Our loyalty to S. T. H. S. is unequalled. In this our first year we have supported her, and in the future we aspire to do greater things for her good. Some time in June the Freshmen will give a reception for the eighth-graders, our future Freshmen. Next year the Freshmen of ’30 will be upper classmen, but we all wish the incoming Freshmen luck and hope they won’t be so “green” as we have been. —Mardell Higgins. Page 35 Page 36 ATHLETICS %ReflectoR 0 FOOTBALL With the return of ten lettermen from the season of 1928, the prospects for a reputable football team looked very promising for the season of 1929. Due to many minor injuries during practice many of the players could not compete in the games. This meant the substitution of new and inexperienced men. Mr. Wright as well as the players were glad to have these new men appear upon the gridiron. It means many “knocks” and “bumps,” but it is only through the constant tutoring of the patient coach that the “scrubs” may attain the height of perfection. The seniors of the squad of 29 congratulate the beginners for their consistent courage and their sportsmanlike manner in taking the “bumps” and hardships without a word of insurgency. BASKETBALL The S. T. H. S. basketball squads had a fairly good season this year. Much credit is due to coaches C. T. Allen and E. A. Wright, the respective mentors of the heavyweight and lightweight squads. The season started with the capture of many Little Ten scalps for the S. T. H. S. basketeers. With the return of four regular lettermen and the addition of other prospective players, they seemed to harmonize and blend in their co-operation on the basketball court. The Sandwich High School basketeers overwhelmed every team in the Little Ten one or more times except Waterman. This team won the Invitational Tournament held at the S. T. H. S. gymnasium during the holiday recess. They also won the Little Ten, district and sectional tourneys. They were eliminated in the first game of the State tournament. The Sandwich team was practically the only team in the Little Ten that could hold Waterman to a close score. In one game at the last of the season, they won the game by two points as the whistle blew for tho ending of the game. Much credit is due to the lightweight squad also. With their irresistible co-operation and team work they won the majority of the games they played this season. The class of 1930 offers a toast to the success of the players and to the coach for the season of 1930-31. TRACK The students of S. T. H. S. always respond with great enthusiasm when Coach Wright sounds “taps” for the opening of track season. Track is an event that calls forth the majority of the students of S. T. H. S. There are many benefits that are derived from this form of athletics. It develops the muscles in all parts of the body and many other numerous parts of the human frame. Mr. Wright has been very successful since his appearance in Sandwich in turning out a very good track team. Many of his men have entered and placed in state contests. He works consistently with the boys in teaching them the fine points and in getting them in the “pink of condition.” It is very much in evidence as one strolls through the main corridor that the track teams of previous years have exhibited much talent along this line. Last year Sandwich entered the DeKalb county track meet held at DeKalb. The team emerged victorious with the first place cups. A number of the cups and shields in the trophy case are track trophies. These cups and shields date back many years when track was in its infancy in high school. Mr. Wright has a great number of candidates out this year, and hopes to add a few more trophies to the case. —Resell Cooper. Page 39 % ReelecidR .o Coach Wright, C. Massat, C. Boget, L. Mutter, A.

Hubbard BASKETBALL Sandwich may rightfully consider her 1930 basketball season a success even if she did not win the Little Ten tournament. Every contest was hard fought ; the final outcome was in doubt until the last whistle blew, like the Waterman game on our floor. Coach Allen deserves much credit for his determined efforts which resulted in a team playing aggressive and shrewd basketball. In the Invitational Tournament held at Sandwich in January the Sandwich High School team won second place, being defeated by Waterman after one of the most exciting and hard fought games of the tournament. The Sandwich rooters showed an undauntable spirit in the way they always backed their team, and we hope this same spirit will be kept up for the future years so that Sandwich may become noted for her good teams and her fighting spirit. The Second Team came through with a fairly successful season also—winning eleven out of a possible fourteen games. Although they did not “cop” the Little Ten Championship banner as they did last year—they are proud of Coach Wright and his team. SUMMARY Sandwich, 34; Shabbona, 10. Sandwich, 33; Earlville, 10.

Thirty candidates answered the call. Many of last year’s men were back, but a large number came out to try their skill with the pigskin for the first time. Coach Wright acting as head coach, and Coach Allen, his able assistant, were always on deck in true form. Many scrimmages were held with neighboring schools before the season opened, and this gave our men some valuable practical training. Many of the teams our team went up against were heavier and more experienced, but the Orange and black players always did their best as they always do. Their schedule was exceedingly hard, playing such schools as West Aurora, East Aurora (night game), Rochelle, and Mooseheart. Most of these games were dropped, but not from a lack of spirit or fight. The games were well attended, and the yelling was very well organized and appreciated by those on the gridiron. Much credit is due to our yell leader, Helen Johnson. Fine spirit was displayed by our team to visiting teams, and was also given to us by our opponents. Sportsmanship is the underlying foundation of athletics and may’ the S. T. H. S. men always continue to uphold it. SUMMARY West Aurora, 25; Sandwich, 0. Rochelle, 25; Sandwich, 0. Morris, 13; Sandwich, 6. Mooseheart, 7; Sandwich, 0. East Aurora, 33; Sandwich, 13.

They furnish recreation from the steady grind of study, at the sain? time train the student in something that he may use in later years. Those students who excel in any particular extra curricular activity may get an opportunity to go to other schools to participate in contests, thus allowing those students to meet other people and to enlarge their interests. These contests also tend to enhance school spirit. Students naturally are proud of a school that wins trophies in all lines of extra curricular activities. S. T. H. S. has only recently taken up a very wide range of extra curricular activities, and has done remarkably well in them. There are activities for everyone in the school; such as football, basketball, track, debating, public speaking, declamation, girls and boys glee clubs, mixed chorus, orchestra, band, Agr. Club, French Club, Latin Club, and many others. One of the most important sections of the extra curricular activities is athletics. Athletics are excellent training for the student, not only in the physical sense but also in the sportsmanship and the sense of fair play that is involved and that helps them later to win success in the world. The Public Speaking Department is a very valuable one in the school. It trains the students to state their thoughts clearly either before an audience or in conversation. Debating and declamation help the student to speak clearly. This is an asset to a person. As has been often stated, “If you stand straight, you can think straight; and if you think straight you can talk straight.” So Public Speaking is invaluable. The Music Department also gives the student excellent training, either in voice or on some instrument. It is divided into the Girls Glee Club, the Boys Glee Club, the Mixed Chorus, the Boys’ Quartette, the Girls Quartette, the Orchestra, and the Band. By taking music in school one gains a sense of appreciation for good music. One can always use music, and it can easily be seen that the time spent in the Music Department is not wasted. Our trophy case proves my latter statement. Last, but not least, are the clubs. The “Ag. Club, the Latin Club, and the French Club are made up of members of the respective classes. These clubs hold meetings in which education and fun are combined, thus adding a little snap to the work. What determines whether a season in any branch of activities may be regarded as successful1 Is it the making of a better record than that attained the previous year: Is it the victory over your biggest rival that appears on the schedule? Or is it the good spirit of fellowship toward the rival schools; the loyalty, the backing and support given the participants by the attendants and school enthusiasts? Weighed from any angle, the answer is the same; and it is a vital and potent factor in determining success. Extra curricular activities are really just play added to work. Everyone knows that all work and no play is not good for one. Let’s make it a point to engage in one or more of these activities and receive the value they afford us. Katherine Knights.

Throughout the past year the club has been active, having sung at various school assemblies and having also appeared in several public concerts. I he combined Glee Clubs joined forces to present the clever and successful musical romance, “Once in a Blue Moon.” In the spring, 16 girls were chosen to represent S. T. H. S. at the Sub-district music contest held at DeKalb, April 12. They carried away first place by singing, “My Love Dwelt in a Northern Land” by Elgar, the required number and “Indian Lullaby” by Vogt. This victory entitles them to enter the district contest May 3, at DeKalb. We hope to attain a victory so that we may enter the State contest again this year. The regulation uniforms of the girls consist of white and yellow ensembles, which give the members a neat and attractive appearance. At the Little Ten Music contest held at Sandwich, April 16, the girls again were victorious over nine other schools. They were proud to claim one of the three trophies won that day. The Club owes all its success to its director, Miss Russell, and only through constant practice and faithful work were these victories attained. Page 48 —Gladys Cortricht. ■ReelecioR o R. Bowen, R.

Erford HOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys Glee Club of 1929- 30 has proved to be a greater success than ever before. About twenty-seven boys enrolled throughout the year. This club was partly responsible for the success of the operetta, “Once in a Blue Moon.” When the High School Band made its first appearance, the Boys’ Glee Club sang two numbers. They also sang during chapel exercises. There were sixteen members chosen from the group to represent our high school in the Subdistrict Music Contest, held at DeKalb, April 12. They won first place by default, and this entitled them to enter the district contest also held at DeKalb, May 3. Out of this group twelve were chosen to represent our school in the Little Ten Music Contest held here April 16. Five Boys’ Glee Clubs were in competition. Second place was awarded to Sandwich, with ninety out of a possible 100 points. The contest numbers were “Song of the Western Men” by Protheroe, and “Avc Maria” by Arcadelt. The boys are hoping that with a little more practice they w ill be able to take part in the State contest again this year. The success of the Boys’ Glee Club is largely due to the instruction of our able teacher and leader, Miss Russell. A great deal of credit should also be given to our accompanist, Pauline Sweeney. Pauline was one of the best accompanists in the Little Ten Contest, for Mr. Robinson, an expert judge, awarded her the full ten points in each event. —Thorval Johnson. Page 49 vReelecioR .o H.

Cortright MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus of S. T. H. S. made a wonderful record last year, and under the efficient help of Miss Russell hopes to continue the record. The Mixed Chorus is composed of the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs. Sixteen members of each club journeyed to DeKalb last year to the Sub-District and District Contests. As they won first place in the District Contest, they were eligible for the State finals. The State Contest was held May 16, 17, 18. In this contest the Mixed Chorus sang “Legend,” by Tschaikowsky (acappella) and the selected number was “The Builder,” by Cadman. First place was awarded to Sandwich. A large cup was awarded to Sandwich for winning first place in Mixed Chorus. Also, as will be remembered Sandwich won Gov. Emmerson’s cup for having the largest number of points of all schools entered. At the Baccalaureate services the Mixed Chorus sang their two numbers accompanied by the organ. This year the Mixed Chorus is made up of 32 oices. The first contest entered was the Sub-District at DeKalb, April 12. There was no competition in Mixed Chorus and consequently the Mixed Chorus will represent Sandwich again at the District Contest at DeKalb, May 3. The required number is “Glorious Forever,” by Rachmaninoff. The selected number is “Adoramus Te,” by Palestrina. Next the Mixed Chorus entered the Little Ten Music Contest held at Sandwich, May 16. The required number for this contest was “Dawn,” by Mansfield, and the selected number was “Adoramus Te,” by Palestrina. If the Mixed Chorus is successful in attaining either first or second place at the District Contest May 3, they will go to the State Contest which will probably lx held at Champaign. We all wish them luck! Page 50 —Helen Loeb. Reflector Mr. Bannon, A. Knights, L. Sherman, L. Coakes, W. Coakcs, C. Brower J. Francis, J. Biertz, K. Coakcs, E. Anderson, J. Vlack, W. Walker, A. Doran, M. Moore M. Griswold, K. Bauman, D. Cortright, C. Middaugh, K. Knights, F. Schrader, C. Middaugh THE BAND Last June Mr. Ray E. Bannon of Morris came here to talk to us about a band. He showed us the real necessity of a good school band for spirit at our football and basketball games. Many of the pupils showed a desire for this kind of an activity, and when we held our first meeting, there were about twenty pupils present. We did not have any band practices last summer, but all the members came and took a lesson every Tuesday afternoon. When school opened in September, our band was ready to start on regular practices. Band practice was held every Tuesday night and by the time the Sandwich Invitational Basketball Tournament came, we were able to furnish the music on the Friday night that the Sandwich team played. On the evening of April 8 the band held its first real concert. Many fine selections were played. The attendance was good, and Mr. Bannon is planning to put on another concert in the near future. The next one will be an open air concert given on the school lawn. He expects to bring in enough players from his other school bands to make a sixty or seventy piece band. On May 23 the band took a trip to DeKalb to participate in a concert and Festival. They worked very hard on the piece “The Gypsy Festival,” which is the one that was played. The personnel of the Band is as follows: Frederic Schrader, Katherine Knights and Cheryl Middaugh, clarinets Katherine Bauman, Donald Cortright, Merle Griswold, Clifford Mander and Charles Middaugh, cornets Robert Coakes and Junior Biertz, altos John Vlack, Charles Brower, William Walker, Saxophones Clarence Massat, Baritone Wilbur Coakes, Trombone Lewis Coakes, Bass Hubert Eva and Merle Moore, Drums. Since our band started last September many pupils have entered. There are now five boys taking cornet lessons who are not in the band, but who will be as soon as they have finished ten lessons. There are others who will also enter when their ten lessons are finished. Right now we have a big drive on to increase our band. It seems to be the duty of every one playing to get one more player. If everyone does his duty, we shall soon have a forty or fifty piece band. —Lewis Coakes. Page 51 A. Puhan, L. Schumaker, H. Lett, Mr. Thokey, ( R. McGregor, absent) A. Woodward, H. Loeb, L. Creasey, H. Johnson, F. Sc he i decker DEBATING The question for debate this year, as set out by the Illinois State Debate League was: “Resolved, that the public should retain ownership of, develop and operate the principal sources of hydroelectric power in the United States.” With only Alfred Puhan left from last year’s district championship teams, Sandwich High School found itself this year in need of five debaters. As an early indication of interest in this forensic activity, over twenty people appeared at the tryout. Front this group it was decided that the affirmative side of the question would ! .• upheld by Alfred Puhan, Helen Johnson, and Robert McGregor alternating with Harriet Lett. The negative included Helen Loeb, Leone Creasey and Frederic Scheidecker. Lola Schumaker and Alfred Woodward also helped in the work. For practice our team held two non-decision debates with Normal, 111., the present state debate champions, with whom very pleasant relationships had been formed at the state tournament last year. The first regular decision debates resulted in both teams defeating Waterman 3-0. The second series debates resulted in Sandwich affirmative defeating the Rockton negative here 2-1, and the Sandwich negative defeating the Rockton affirmative there 3-0, making a clean sweep for all the debates in the regular schedule. This record gave the Sandwich debaters the right to enter, for the third consecutive year, the district tournament held at IXKalb for the championship of Northern Illinois, which is now held by Sandwich. The teams this year are characterized by the same pep, fight, good knowledge of the subject resulting from hard work and intense interest which have led past debate teams to victory. It is worthy to note that in the past four years Sandwich has never lost a debate on the home floor. For upholding such a record the new teams deserve much credit. Then, also, it is needless to mention that Mr. Thokey has been “a real coach.” The time he has spent in organization of material, the rebuttals he has helped plan, the instructive meetings he has held have all added to our season’s success. He has worked hard and faithfully, and the debaters and S. T. H. S. student body appreciate it. Page 32 —Helen Johnson. .Reflector .o Miss Coleman, F. Schcidcckcr, V. Fairchild, Mr. Haskin, II.

S. knows that experience pained from each contest has been beneficial. Winning is all very well, but it is not the most important issue to be carried through life. Competition, however, was remarkably keen in the declamatory phase of this work. After all preliminary eliminations Alice Whiteis and Lavone Higgins proved themselves capable of representing the school at subsequent contests. Alice Whiteis gave as her dramatic reading, “The Wheels of Time.” Lavone Higgins chose as a humorous selection “Aunt Sophronia at the Opera.” In Oratory Alfred Puhan and Frederic Scheidecker were the only entries; and, as a result, there was no home elimination. Alfred Puhan represented S. T. H. S. at Sheridan in the Little Ten Sub-District Contest with his oration, “The Wandering Jew.” Frederic Scheidecker gave his selection “The Prince of Peace” at DeKalb in the State Sub-District Contest. Although we were not represented at the District in May, we consoled ourselves with the knowledge that numerous contests lie ahead of us, and that the experience gained in former contests will lx very valuable. The contestants appreciate the untiring support of their coaches; Misses McDonald, Coleman, Houston, and Mr. Haskin. It is especially gratifying to them that so many Freshmen made up the list of entries, for the future success of this extra-curricular activity descends to them. —Fr I ! F RIC Sc H EI DEC KIR.

Haskin MEMBERS Virdelle Wesson Leone Creasey Charles Ropp Alfred Woodward Donald Dean The Student Council is one of the valuable assets of S. T. H. S. Its purpose is not to discipline students but to represent them when matters of importance are being decided. This work itself proves that the Council is necessary to make the wheels of school life run smoothly. The spirit of the Council is another factor which must be admired. When the various classes elect two members to represent them in this body, they choose those whom they think will best do the work. And so the ones who are chosen immediately feel the responsibility which rests upon them. This responsibility creates the feeling that the school really belongs to the students and that matters are not just decided by the school superiors without consideration of the opinions of the students themselves. The first meeting of the Council was held to outline the duties of the members. During the second meeting, officers were elected. At the third meeting it was decided to let the Seniors sell eskimo pies at the various basketball games so as to earn money for the Reflector. The Juniors were given the concession for the Little Ten Basketball Tournament. The Council met the fourth time to decide who should represent the different classes in the nomination of candidates for this year’s May Queen. Page 34 —Elizabeth Hammond. L. Fritsch, G. Potter, L.

Griswold FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA This organization was created to bind together all boys in the United States who are studying agriculture in high schools. Its object is to promote vocational agriculture in high school j to create more interest in farming; to create a love for country life; to encourage recreational and educational activities for students in vocational agriculture; to promote thrift; to encourage co-operative effort among students of vocational agriculture and to develop rural leadership. Each high school has its local chapter. The Illinois chapter was just organized last year. There are several degrees in the membership of this organization. The boys in the first year’s work are called Green Hands, while those in the second year are called Future Farmers. Each year the State organization selects ten outstanding boys for the year. These boys are called State Farmers. At the National meeting one or two boys are selected from each state. These boys receive the title of American Farmer. The Sandwich chapter of the F. F. A. was honored when one of its members, Darrell Wesson, was elected as State Farmer. This was on account of his outstanding work in agriculture as well as in other activities. He was also elected as the chairman of the schools in the northeast section of our State. One of the things the F. F. A. is promoting this year is an oratorical contest which was held at Dundee, May 2. Our local chapter has been giving a good account of itself, and is looking forward to the State Contest at Crbana, hoping again to be able to bring home some banners. —James Connolly.

One part of the entertainment was the Spanish Fiesta. In this were several special dances and one or two choruses. The special dancers were Leone Creasey, who danced “La Paloma”; Katherine Knights, who gave a clown dance; Margaret Mall and Hubert Eva, a tango; and Genevieve Lowry, “The Seguidilla Taleada.” There were also choruses of both boys and girls at other times during the performance. The success of the operetta was largely due to its directors. Miss Russell had charge of the music, Miss Kelly was responsible for the choruses, and Miss McDonald drilled the all-star cast. —Charlotte South wick.

S. auditorium, tender the excellent direction of Miss Coleman this play was produced March 2X. It was an up-to-date play with many clever and humorous situations. newly rich family try to enter society by espousing the cause of social uplift for the “lower i lass” from which they have recently risen. The father, not caring for society, centers his affections on mysterious inventions, which necessitates his taking lonely trips to a mountain cottage. His visionary daughter advertises for a secretary from the lower class to aid her in her chosen work of social uplift. A professor’s son poses as a tough and applies for the position. He is employed i and in working hand in hand with him to instill culture in the masses, the daughter attempts to improve his language and ways. She finally gives both hand and heart to her secretary. This cures the moth r of love for social uplift. The solution of the class problem occurs when the father stages a false burglary which turns out to be real. Helen .......... Babs Mrs. Alden M r.

For that’s what “Peg O My Heart is—an Irish play. It centers around Peg, a poor Irish girl living in New ork, who is made an heiress by the death of her uncle, and is called to England to Ik reared by an aristocratic aunt, Mrs. Chichester. Mrs. Chichester has two children, a son Alaric, who always calls Peg, )U Little Devil.

The two divisions furnished a room for their club meetings, which were held weekly, alternating the first and second divisions. They also responded readily in contributing for bake sales, candy sales, hot-dog sales, and by supporting the entertainments given by the joint divisions. The money earned from these activities was used to purchase furnishings for the Club Room; matching our club colors of rose and cream. In order that the mothers of the French students could know of our work, a Mothers’ Tea was given. A very interesting programme was given by the members which included a French play. The members also have their club pins to remind them in later years of their club work. THE FIRST DIVISION OF THE FRENCH CLUB The first division of the French Club was organized on October 21, 1929. The officers elected were: President, Lola Schumaker; Vice-President, Helen Loeb; Secretary, Alfred Puhanj Treasurer, Eleanor Stolp. The club held its meeting every other Monday. On November 26, 1929, the Second Division entertained the First Division at a party. On December 18, 1929, the First Division invited the Second Division to a Christmas party. In February both divisions enjoyed a mystery party. Both divisions of the French club held the annual box social in March. A Valentine party followed, which was enjoyed by both divisions. On April 28, 1930, the two clubs put on a reception for the mothers of the members of the club. To finish the year a picnic was enjoyed by all the members. The club has been a decided success, and will be even better in future years. LATIN CLUB President .... Charlotte Southwick Vice-President ...................Jane Phelps Secretary. .............................. Kathryn Potter Treasurer .................................Elizabeth Hammond This year’s Latin Club has been, without a doubt, a success. The meetings were held once a month, and anyone who had ever studied any Latin was invited to be present. The year was opened with the intiation of new members, and you have only to ask this year’s members as to the success of the operation. All members will testify that the meetings have been “peppy” with Bunco games (the Romans were very fond of games played with dice), historical Roman scenes played by members of the club (Robert McGregor as Mettus Curtius will never be forgotten), and other games in which those present had to cudgel their brains for various Latin words and phrases. One of the main entertainments of the year was the annual Latin Club banquet, December 19. After a good dinner, the members were amused by tableaux of Roman history. .Another outstanding event was the spring picnic. Everyone gathered fire-wood and wild flowers, and finished bv eating hot-dogs. From these accounts you can tell what Latin Club good times mean.

The quartette consists of Joe Hartman, second bass Alfred Woodward, baritone Donald Dean, second tenor Glendon Potter, first tenor, and Rachel Hinman, accompanist The quartette made their debut at the Hospital Banquet. They have appeared at other banquets, at the Woman's Club, at the different churches, and also before our assembly several times, especially at pep meetings. Several times the girls’ quartette appeared with them. This quartette consists of O’Della Olson, Gladys Cortright, Agatha Lindner and Lola Schumaker. In November the double quartette went to Champaign, where they sang in the “All State” High School Chorus under William Alexander, of Ypsilanti, Michigan, before the Illinois State High School Teachers’ Meeting. —Rachel Hinman. TROPHIES AM) AWARDS OF 1928-1929 The school year I928- 29 will always stand out in the history of the school as one in which we brought home many honors for our school. To start off with athletics, on February 2 3, 1929, the local heavyweight basketball team placed third in the Little Ten contest, for which they received a trophy. At the same time, the lightweights won the championship of the Little Ten. A pennant was awarded them. On April 25, 1929, went to DeKalb to bring home several ribbons for winning the meet. On May 4, 1929, the track team returned with a beautiful trophy and several ribbons for winning the county track meet at DeKalb. On May IX, 1929, Lawrence Morey placed second in the pole vault at the state contest at Champaign. In music, the old Alma Mater ran off with practically every big trophy. On April 20, 1929, in the sub-district musical and public speaking contest at DeKalb, Sandwich took six firsts and two seconds out of eight contests that they entered. On May 4, 1929, the Sandwich songsters entered the sectional contest at DeKalb. Sandwich won first in Boys’ Glee Club, Girls Glee Club, Mixed C horus, Tenor and Baritone solos. The music department reached its climax when it brought home everything from the state music and literary contest at Macomb on May 16, 17 and IX. In addition, Sandwich was awarded the Governor Kmmerson cup for the school earning the greatest number of points. The public speaking department also contributed its share of the trophies. First, the Sandwich debate squad won nine out of twelve votes to win the regular schedule and become eligible for the district contest. On April 30, 1929, the debaters went to DeKalb and took eleven out of twelve votes to win the meet and go on to the state. They gave a creditable performance at Macomb, but were not able to place first. In addition, Henry Mosher won first place in oratory at the district contest at DeKalb. Last, but not least, comes the “Ag” class. Besides entering several contests and bringing home pennants and ribbons, they also won the sectional meet on May IX. We are proud of our trophies, and hope to see many more in the future. Early indications point to many more of them. —Alfred Plhan. Page 61 %REFLECI0R ° JHWTl|lG.

Two hundred and thirty people including 167 alumni, friends, the two boards of Education, and 16 members of the class of 29 met especially to honor Mr. Woodbury for the 41 years of valuable service given by him to the Sandwich schools as teacher and superintendent. Many interesting incidents were recalled by those who had a part on the program showing how prominent a place Mr. Woodbury holds in the hearts of his former pupils. The dinner was served by the ladies of the Rebekah Lodge. The tables were prettily decorated by a committee whose chairman was Ruth Sidford. Mrs. Florence Hammond was chairman of the program committee, and Attorney John Woodward acting very efficiently as toastmaster called upon the following people.
