Sandwich High School - Reflector Yearbook (Sandwich, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1931 volume:

Presented by CLASS OF 31 Sandwich Township High School Sandwich, Illinois “ Dedications only as a recognition of his many years of service to our school, but also as an expression of our esteem and affection for one who has led our minds into great avenues of knowledge, and guided our steps toward the best things of life, we gratefully dedicate this book of memories to Mr. Woodbury. The Class of 1931 Foreword ' nOTHER year has passed; and thinking more of spirit than of form, we present this volume of the Reflector with the hope that it will serve you as a fitting record of the most memorable achievements and incidents of the year 1930-1931. Contents • Administration Classes Athletics Activities TO GRADUATES AND PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS: Members of the Class of 19? 1, the finish of this year’s work has marked a turning point in your educational experience. The events leading up to your graduation have taken form so unobtrusively and so gradually that a full appreciation of the event is difficult. Much will be said about casting off certain experiences and entering upon new ones. You will be advised that you are leaving school life to enter life’s school. There is a strong inference that at this particular time you are to begin a long deferred application of certain fundamental principles established by your school life. There is also a suggestion that you are now to make an effort at self analysis, to cast off non-essential and downright detrimental habits, and to begin anew. School experience however is not so constituted. School life is real. You have been living just as essentially as you will ever live at any future time in your life. Habits, for good and for ill, have been forming. You cannot take them off as you would remove your coat. They are a part of you. They are closely linked with your attitude toward life and its problems. Are you willing this day to accept any honorable useful task which may be yours? Can you see in the performance of your duty a full compensation for all the strenuous effort involved? Have you allied yourself with those agencies and those personalities which challenge you and bring out your best? Do you evaluate your services by what you can contribute rather than by what you may gain personally? In the correct answer to these questions is bound up the philosophy of a useful life. Can you measure up” to the challenge? To those who are entering our high school for the first time, we extend a hearty welcome. You are entering an environment which will stimulate you to make use of your powers, and develop them. You will learn to know those who have an interest in you individually. You will find in your daily study a consciousness of genuine achievement. Our traditional invitation is extended to you. The doors of opportunity are open. Lynn G. Haskin, Superintendent Page Nine 19 ♦ deflector 31 WW5JS2S2S2S2«SJW52WWW2OTOTWOT.S2S?S?5ffiJWS2WW52WS«2S2W5S2Sffi2WSffia? zM j te J)on r n -fftti eU.w� i Mj' ffitijv Kilty � 4 flLIrtJ Loltl V id Ore 3 Lcoxf C « - Pr.mAt.a- Vl5 Colt - L,tcr rj H« 1 I tf s fU J0 50 . nJr THE TWIN PINES Sentinel like they stand, the twin pines. They have stood thus for many years. For a time they stood with other trees upon a vacant lot. This lot was purchased as a site for our new school building. All of the trees except the twin pines were cut down. The pines alone were left as guards for the walk leading up to the entrance steps. Nearly twelve years have passed since the school was dedicated. Twelve winters have shook snow down upon those guarding pines, and twelve summers have smiled on them. Many students have passed beneath them, going up the long walk to begin their high school days. With their protecting look the pines seem to give the beginner confidence, a sense of being watched over. If those twin pines could reveal to us their secrets, the stories, I think, would be very interesting. Here and there a touch of pathos; perhaps a bit of tragedy; but relieved by others possessing a lilt of humor. If those pines could talk, we would hear of skating parties, tournament games, football celebrations, pep meetings, Hallowe’en pranks, and a hundred and one other amusing and interesting stories. Let us think of those Pines being there for the coming generations. Long after we have passed between them for the last time, may they stand there bowing and whispering in the breezes as if they wished to speak of the many things which they had seen.

In times of economic stress it is particularly important that any Board of Education be composed of members who have vision. We believe we are particularly fortunate in owing our allegiance to a Board of Education which has the interests of the community and the school ever in mind. In administering to the needs of the school, the Board is divided into committees, the members of which are appointed by the President, on the basis of their fitness for specific duties.

We are thinking once again of the pleasant memories which we are to carry away with us—memories of the days spent in Sandwich High. Victories we have as a class helped to gain for our Alma Mater; experiences we have had here; friends we have made and now must leave; good time we have enjoyed; all come back to us as we leave, all demanding an equal place in our memories. As the day of departure draws nearer, the Seniors are found taking farewell looks at familiar scenes loved so well. Even exams once so dreaded cannot crowd from our minds the thought of only a few more hours for us in S. T. H. S. Four years ago we came as Freshmen, silent with awe to these doors. Now we leave still silent, but this time with regret to find our four years so swiftly completed.

May our class reach far above In their worldly life, And our work we learn to love Avoiding worried strife. Some may reach unknown height Far above the ground Though not by a sudden flight Or a springy bound. A toilsome journey may be ahead Where each must travel alone; Or a field to plant instead To reap what ye have sown. We’ll continue learning ever still At every open door. The space for knowledge we’ll never fill. There’s always room for more. We’re aiming at the highest star, Our mark we hope to gain. Even though it may seem far It will be worth the fame. But in this world there is a place Where each can do his best; So now our tasks let’s justly face For God will do the rest.

T. H. S. and set sail for a four years’ voyage into the lakes of Study and the realms of Knowledge. The fact that there were about fifty-two members of our class to register merely meant that we were a little greener than the average class since there were more of us to display our verdancy. However, we determined to convince the upperclassmen that the old adage relevant to quantity versus quality was not applicable in our case. After a period of bewilderment and indecision, this irresponsible group followed the example set by other classes and organized. Alfred Woodward was elected to guide us for the Freshman year. Several of our members tried their fortunes in declamation and oratory, while still others tried in athletic lines of endeavor. The Freshmen were well represented in the music departments and on scholastic records. The social events of the year were increased by the successful Freshman-Eighth Grade Reception and the weiner roasts. The next year the same students started on their second year of the voyage. Alfred Woodward was again chosen to superintend the Sophomore trip. Under his guidance, the class began to take their proper place in the sun. The first important event was the weiner roast at Griswold Springs. Then came winter and the jolly coasting parties at Stewart’s Hill. The athletic triumphs of the Freshman year were surpassed, and our superiority was beginning to be recognized in every phase of high school activity. There were eight of our members that belonged to the choruses which won the State Championship that year. We were still distinguished in the art of public speaking as Lavone Higgins won the right to represent S. T. H. S. in the humorous declamation contest at De Kalb. Alfred Puhan also made the first Debate Team. The following summer was an important vacation, for being away from Sandwich High made us realize better than ever before how much it meant to us. This year the class was minus a few of its former students, but it still had the class spirit and loyalty. Helen Johnson, our worthy cheer leader, was selected as pilot for the class affairs of the Juniors. This year was more record-breaking than ever before. Some members of our Class made both the football and basketball teams. Three of the students were selected for the double quartette to represent S. T. H. S. in the All-State Chorus, at Champaign, Illinois. The successful Junior play, Hands Up, was given under the direction of Miss Coleman. Four Juniors joined the ranks of the debaters and helped win the Debating Championship of the State. Numerous others were in the glee clubs and choruses. This year found more Juniors on the honor roll than any of the other classes. To end this eventful year was the usual Junior-Senior Reception. At the beginning of school last fall, we tried to realize that the title of Seniors” had been bestowed upon us, and that we were soon to be graduated from dear old S. T. H. S. The class commenced its final year with Alfred Woodward to watch over its destiny. This year has produced leaders of all responsibilities and school activities. Athletics were again prominent. Musical leaders were still produced; four members were selected to go to Champaign this year. Many of our members entered the public speaking field and there again were successful by having two dcclaimers to represent the high school at the Sub-District Contest, as well as four debaters, and a baritone soloist. There were mental leaders as well, our class holding the highest class honors. Our dramatic talent received new praise through our class play, Cappy Ricks,” directed by Miss McDonald. This class, being good entertainers, sponsored some fine dances and parties. This year began to turn into memories with the beautiful Junior-Senior Reception. The class has been successful in its duty of supplying leadership, guidance, and inspiration for the student body; and as they walk solemnly down the gangplank loaded with bags of experience and knowledge to take their places again in the world of busy people, they hope that their course will serve as a model for the classes of the new and greater S. T. H. S. of the future.

Place: 348 State Street. Chicago, Illinois. A W.— Well, well, if it isn’t Stan!” S. H.—''Hello, Woody, how is business?” A. W I hear you have succeeded Walter Hagen as the world's gieatest Professional. Congratulations!” S. H.— Thanks. I hear you have become a butter and egg man. But how did it happen that you nevei married?” A. W.— Probably the same reason that you didn’t.” S. H.— Speaking of marriage, that reminds me that Marguerite Donovan has just taken Jack Flynn for her third husband.” A. W.— And speaking of old classmates, I understand that Alice Whiteis has become a hostess at the new Night Club near Sheridan.” S. H.— But the last scandal back home is that David Bernard was seen attending the show on Sunday night with Lillie Larson.” A. W.— Let’s walk on down the street. Maybe we’ll see some familiar names. There’s a sign on top of that building saying, 'Tooley for Mayor and keep the city well papered and painted . S. H.— That reminds me that on my way to Chicago last week I stopped at the old home town and bought the Free Press at Dick Datschefski’s News Stand and read of a hot campaign for city clerk, staged by Agnes Barker and Dorothy McBride. Things seem to look pretty good for our red-headed friend.” A. W.— Let’s drop in at one of Puhan’s great chain stores and see if he can convince us that his brand of pretzels is the best.” S. H.— Why, here is a poem in the Sandwich Free Press by Arthur Killey. That fellow always could write poetry back in the old school days. And here is a cartoon by Gletty on the duties of the city nurse, Anna Albrecht.” A. W.— Oh, let’s see what we can find in the Around Town column. ’On Friday, Margaret Hodgson entertained the Stitch and Chatter Club. Dorothy Fritsch and Bertha Wallis were high scorers in rummy.’ And note this ’ad’—'Infants' Rubber Pants, 10c per pair, at Lola Schumaker's Gift Shoppe’.” S. H.— And this, in the Lost and Found column: ’A purebred Cheese Hound. Please return in five days to Dorothy Kesslar.' ” A. W.— I see Russell Felder, the local fire chief, distinguished himself with bravery by saving two hens and a rooster when Agnes Bernhardt’s chicken house burned down.” S. H.— From that sign across the street it looks as if Florence Wilson and SeDelle Hanson are willing to demonstrate ’Austins’ at any time. A. W.— Let’s visit Lavone Higgins’ Chinese-American Restaurant, or would you prefer to go to Coakes’ famous ’Cooky’ shop?” S. H.— Speaking of shops. Alda Miller has just opened up a new antique shop in Millington, and Helen Johnson has opened up a lute fisk store next door.” A. W.— When 1 was in Cicero the other day, I heard that Agatha Lindner was doing a great work in the way of social uplift among the gangsters.” S. H.— Why, look across the street at the Star and Garter: ’Now Playing—George Carr and His Famous Wampus Babies,’ featuring Eleanor Stolp, in 'The Vamp’. A. W.— And down at the Grand Opera House, Wayne King’s successor, Charles Brower and his orchestra, is playing, featuring Clarence Massat, the greatest cornetist; Edna Nelson, the famous Blues Singer: and Leone Creasy, the fancy dancer.” S. H.— When you speak of dancing, it reminds me that Elsie Miller and Margaret Mall are giving dancing lessons at Hummel’s hall while you wait, and Arthur Martin has succeeded ’Pummy’ as janitor at S. T. H. S. on account of his height.” A. W.— And have you heard about our old friend? In this morning’s Tribune were the headlines: 'Leon Wood has accomplished the impossible by spanning the Pacific in his newly invented autogyroscope. S. H.— Why, that’s great. I always knew he would accomplish something worth while. There was also an article about Lester Claude and his new racing car. But to return to Sandwich, I suppose you know that Bob Gengler is the sole furnisher of poultry and eggs for the old home town, and it is said that babies cry for milk from Connolly’s contented cows. And speaking of infants, I hear that Helen Loeb is a kindergarten teacher. I guess she is making little things count.” A. W.— And Genevieve Lowry is now playing in her famous show, ’Paris Garters,’ in New York.” S. H.— Barbara Hartmann is still looking for a boy who can look East and West at the same time.” A. W.— And Dorothy Rohm and Charlotte Edgerton are owners of the largest guinea pig farm this side of Asbury.” S. H.— Well, so long. Woody, now that I’m the professional at the Sannauk Golf Course, I’m due back in an hour to give Mr. Haskin that golf lesson. A. W.__ Well, so long. Stan, and don’t forget to drop in for another chat when you come to the city. Alfred Woodward. Stanley Hagen.

We had representatives in oratory, declamation, athletics, and music. Our principal actors were Robert McGregor, President; Joseph Hartman, Vice-President; Frederic Schrader, Secretary; and Donald Cortright, Treasurer. In Act II, or the Sophomores, ’32” again put on a spectacular performance. We had more representatives in declamation, oratory, athletics and music than we had had the year before; and they achieved more fame. That year our actors were Robert Bowen, President; Frederic Schrader, Vice-President; and Pauline Sweeney, Secretary and Treasurer. Several of our best performers left the dear old production company at the end of Act II. (Now the curtain rises on Act III) The first scene was the election of officers. These proved to be Harriet Lett, President; Thorval Johnson, Vice-President; and Pauline Sweeney, Secretary and Treasurer. Scene 2 is the appearance of many of our boys in athletics. Also the appearance of both boys and girls in declamation, oratory and extemporaneous speaking, two of our members appearing on the debate team which won the State Championship. Scene 3 was put before the public December 5, when this class presented the annual Junior Class Play. This year the play was Only 38.” Under the direction of Miss McDonald the play was a success. Scene 4 is the Junior Dance on April 18. ’Nuff said. We couldn’t do it justice. Scene 5 shows some of our girls and boys in the glee club contests singing their way to fame, and also some of our members gaining grades that place the Junior class in a position which they should be proud of. Scene 6 is the great event of the act. The Junior-Senior Reception on the 23rd of May. Beautiful costumes, good music, delicious eats, and everything that is necessary for the finale of a good show are assured. (Curtain) Now there will be a lapse of three months to allow for the making of arrangements to present the last and most important act of all—The Seniors. Charlotte Southwick. Harriet Lett.

Datschefski, Otto, Moore, Wesson, Griswold, Lenz SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 9, 1929, a group of forty-five Freshmen entered our dear high school with the purpose to help win honors for her. After a short time enough of the traditional greenness had disappeared so that the customary class officers could be elected. Palmer Erford was chosen President; Robert Hubbard, Vice-President; Hazel Gunderson, Secretary and Treasurer, and Mr. Thokey, Class Advisor. The Freshmen proved themselves worthy of their purpose and worthy of the Sophomore title. We had many honor roll students and many out for extracurricular activities. The class came back this fall with more spirit than ever and with a determination to make their best even better. Two new members, Lorraine Reed and Harvey Parris, joined us, thus filling the places of the two who left during our Freshman year. Officers were elected soon after school started. Virdelle Wesson was chosen President; Kenneth Gengler, Vice-President; Charlotte Swenson, Secretary and Treasurer, and Miss Mesenkop, Class Advisor. Irene Otto and Palmer Erford represented the class in Student Council. Boget and Whiteis received letters, and Erford, Vlack, Scent, Fish, Cunz, Moore, Howe and Patris received numbers this year in athletics. Several of our members were out for declamation. Kathryn Potter, Jane Phelps and Mardell Higgins for dramatic, and Charles Ropp for humorous. This year Mr. Thokey chose a second team for debating to give them the experience needed for next year because several of this year’s team are Seniors. Four members of this team, Evelyn Fritsch, Elizabeth Hammond, Virdelle Wesson, and Jane Phelps were chosen from the Sophomore Class. There were also several Sophomores in the various glee clubs and other music activities who did their part to win the school honors. Virginia Fairchild represented the school in the district musical contest as a contralto soloist, and Elizabeth Hammond as a piano soloist. Four Sophomores, John Vlack, Robert Coakes, Merle Moore, and Merle Griswold were in the school band. Although this year a wiener roast was about the only social activity of the class, we will anticipate many social events next year as Juniors. We have done well this year and next year expect to do even better, for we are going Onward and Upward.” Charlotte Srvenson Page Thirty-three 19 ♦ deflector ♦ 31 V. Hartman, Gunderson, E.

S.” 13 Latitude; 13r Longitude Somewhere on the Sea of Knowledge Sometime in the School year ’30-31 Ship Ahoy, Mates!” All the new” hands on deck the ship S. T. H. S ” climbed to the tip top of the main mast on September 1, 1930. At least they thought they did, for they had nervous chills, weakness of the knees, and heart failure because of entering a new ship. But soon the green ones were climbing it as easily as some Seniors on the boat and felt just as much at home straddling the rail as studying mathematics in J. H. S Officers: Arthur Johnson, Stanley Cain, and Virginia Hartman were chosen to assist the two captains, and Carl Berkhout and Cheryl Middaugh were chosen to serve on the Student Council. Their duty was to promote discipline on board and to see that each one took his daily dip at 5:30 A. M. Louis Miller, the cheer leader who yells for the winning side that plays deck-tennis, had a thrilling experience the other day when a shark tried to make a meal of him. Now Louis is so short he has to stand on a table when cheering. Mary Potter, a plump little sailoress. distinguished herself as a good arguer and became a member of the second debate team. Ivan Schumng serves us with delicious meals from the galley, and he only regrets that he is not stronger and capable of carrying more water for scrubbing. He has had to call on Wilbur Daugherty and Carl Berkhout for help. The only social activity that was purely Freshman was a w'iener roast in October. We landed on an island and found it to be Johnson’s farm. We enjoyed an evening of good entertainment there. Then at the end of the voyage was the Fresh man-Eighth Grade Reception. Mr. Paff proved himself a good promoter of athletics, inextensive as they may be on board a ship. Robert Sweeney, Howard Carr, Arthur Johnson, Wesley Scent, and Courtney Shults, received numerals in basketball and football. Arthur Johnson also won a letter in football. Excuse me a moment, dear Reader, for Polly, the deck parrot, wants a cracker. And as the candle is burning low and the ink is almost gone, we will discontinue this log until next September when this same group of people hopes to enter another boat on smoother seas in fairer weather. The mate just came in to say that he has sighted land, and here we’ll stay to wait for the activities of fall. Ay, ay Mates,” Eudora Rosentreter, Cheryl Middaugh, The Captains.

Feierabend TROPHIES AND AWARDS OF 1929-1930 As usual our school has won a large number of honors in the way of trophies and awards in the various contests. Last year the debate teams brought honor to our school by winning sub-district, district, and state pennants. This year they have won both the district pennants, and it is hoped that they will be able to bring home the state pennant next week. They are going strong as usual and at present are competing with state winners at the National Forensic Meet at Ripon, Wis. May it be our good fortune to add to our list this time a National pennant. The music department not only won the usual district pennants in both glee clubs and mixed chorus last year, but won a state cup at the contest at Macomb. In the Little Ten contest three cups were won; two for first place, for the mixed chorus and the girls’ glee club, and one for second place, the boys’ glee club. In individual work first place district badges were won by O’Della Olson, soprano, and Glendon Potter, tenor. This year the sub-district banner was won for having the most points in all musical contests, and a second place badge was won by Alfred Woodward in the district baritone contest. It is too early to report on what may be won by our mixed chorus and baritone soloist at the state contest next week at Normal. In agricultural achievements the usual pennants and badges have been won in the sectional judging contests, and a state banner was won last year. This year there have been some individual badges as well as team judging pennants. In athletics last year a silver cup was won in the Little Ten Relay race, and a basket ball trophy in the invitational tournament. Last, but not least, David Bernard won Honorable Mention in a contest sponsored by the Scholastic,” our high school magazine. Again we are proud of all of these awards that have added honor and recognition to our school life.

Peaty is our right half-back; He scraps with all his might; He has taken several hard knocks Still he comes out all right. Boget is our left guard, Rather young and light; But he holds his position By his everlasting fight. Ole is our left half-back, He passes and carries the ball; He does a neat job of it And the honors he shares with all. Jack Flynn is our center, In weight he does shine; He holds his own against opponents And helps fill up our line. Carr is our full-back, Who hits and plunges the line; He goes for a good old gain Just about every time. Brown is our right guard. He’s better than before; He likes the game of football And helps to raise the score. Killey is our quarter-back. The signals he does call; He also runs interference And he boots the ball. Brower is our right tackle, He tackles hard and low; He got many tackles too As all of us should know.

Woodward FOOTBALL The Sandwich Township High School Football Team, under the direction of Mr. Paff, enjoyed one of the most successful seasons it has had in the past few years. At the start of the season thirty boys reported all ready to work and to try to win a place on the team. Many of these boys did not win a place on the team, but they deserve a great amount of credit for the hard work that they did in rounding the first team into condition for their games. The team, although light, played a hard tackling and blocking game against all opposing teams throughout the season. Of this football squad, seven of the first team members are seniors; but a good team is expected for the coming season.

The team lost its first game of the little Ten Tournament to Waterman, being beaten by two points. In the District Tournament they were again beaten in their game, and this defeat was handed to them by West Aurora. One thing that this team never lacked was its fighting spirit and sportsmanship that they maintained throughout the season. The team gave every ounce of strength they had in every game played during th? season. We cannot overlook the great support given to the team at every game by the student body. Their cheers were led by our hard working and peppy cheer-leader, Helen Johnson. The second team, which was made up of Sophomores and Freshmen finished a successful season losing but four of its games on this year’s schedule. Now that the basketball season is over, we are waiting for the weather to warm up so that spring football may be started. SUMMARY Sandwich. 16; Shabbona, 25 Sandwich, 18; Sheridan. 23.

In spite of the cool evening there was a large and appreciative audience to witness the Court of Cinderella.” The story is as follows: The Prince, Florence Newtson, has issued invitations to a magnificent fete. Cinderella, Leone Creasy, longs to attend but is refused permission by a cruel step-mother, Marion Wilson, and two haughty step-sisters, Isabel Rohm, and Esther Feierabend. So sad is she that even the hours of the day, the days of the week, and the seasons of the year—all fail to make her happy. After departure of the mother and sisters, the god-mother, Louise Bernhardt, comes to Cinderella and provides a lovely gown and a pumpkin coach for her attendance at the ball. The Prince sits watching the proceedings of the fete. Cinderella’s coach draws near, and attracted by the little Cinderella, the Prince offers her a place on his throne. The Prince calls forth the many entertainers from his vast kingdom, and each responds with a dance. The Prince invited Cinderella to dance, first by herself, and then with him. The latter dance is interrupted by the striking of the clock— the hour of twelve, when the god-mother had warned Cinderella to be back at her fireplace. In her quick flight, Cinderella loses her slipper, and the Prince finds it. Back in her kitchen, the little Cinderella dreams of her Prince and wishes he might come. Finally, the Prince arrives, finds her, and returns the silver slipper. He takes her back to the palace, and in anticipation of crowning her queen of the May, reviews his soldiers. After Cinderella is crowned queen, the winding of the May-pole symbolizes the happiness of Cinderella and the Prince. Much credit for the beautiful costuming and altogether successful production is due Miss Kelly. She was ably assisted by the grade school teachers and Mr. Wright.

If he shows exceptional talent in some extra curricular activity, he is given the opportunity to compete with out-of-town high school students. This, in turn, arouses the school spirit. Is not every high school student proud to hear of his fellow student’s victory or success? Everyone has an opportunity to take part in extra curricular activities; such as football, basketball, glee clubs, Latin club, French club, orchestra, band, debating, declamation, and many others. Athletics is one of the most valuable extra curricular activities. Athletics not only builds up the student physically, but also teaches him sportsmanship and fair play, which are almost as important. Debating and declamation are also important because they teach the student to speak clearly and to gain poise. The music department trains any musical ability the student may have. The Active Girls’ Glee Club, the Boys’ Glee Club, and Associate Girls’ Glee Club, the Boys’ Quartette, the Girls’ Quartette, the Orchestra and the Band make up the Music Department. This year S. T. H. S. has accomplished more in the line of music and has taken the Girls’ Glee Club, the Boys’ Glee Club, and the Band to a Music Festival at Earlville. Music is of great importance. Students taking some form of music learn to appreciate good music. Altogether, the Music Department is one of the main extra curricular activities which everyone should take part in. Ending this list of extra curricular activities are the clubs which are also important. The Latin and French clubs are made up of students who have studied or are studying Latin and French. At the meetings, which are held periodically, games and programs involving these languages form the main entertainment, and afford everyone a good time. Each year extra curricular activities are advancing to a great extent. This is due to the interest shown by the students and their pride in having their school win out in contests of various kinds. Taking everything into consideration, are not extra curricular activities worth while?

Both in entertaining ami contest work it was successful. In connection with the regular club, an Associate Girls’ Glee Club of 35 girls was started, the members of which will be the members of future Sandwich Glee Clubs. In the spring of 1030, the girls having won fi-st place in the sub district contest received second place in the district, both contests being held at De Kalb. They were awarded third place in state finals held at Macomb. The Club made its first public appearance before the Woman’s Club on March 9. The active Glee ( lub was entered in the Little Ten Music Festival held at Earlville, March 27. At the time of writing, contests had not yet been held, but plans were well under wav in preparing for the sub district contest to be held at De Kalb on April 18.

A general try-out was held at the beginning of the school year. The Club generally met on Monday mornings to practice the numbers which it sang at the Music Festival at Earlville, March 27. After the Festival, Miss Russell picked sixteen boys to represent the club at the Sub-District Contest held April 18, at De Kalb. The two numbers which they sang were, Gay Troubador” by Wellesley and Invictus” by Shmidts. At this contest the club placed second, which entitled them to go to the District Contest held May 2, at De Kalb. The boys are hoping to be able to go to the State contest again this year. S. T. FL S. has needs to be proud of the Boys’ Glee Club, for they are a fine organization to appreciate. The success of the Club is largely due to the instruction of their able teacher and leader, Miss Russell. Also a great deal of credit is given to our accompanist, Pauline Sweeney. Pauline has been the accompanist for the club for two years and went with them to the State contest last year. However, it was only through constant practice and faithful work that the victories were obtained.

With Glorious Forever” by Rachmaninoff as the required number, and Adoramus Te” by Palestrina as the selected number, they were awarded a trophy for first place for the second successive year. This year activities commenced in November when a double mixed quartette was selected to represent Sandwich at Urbana in the Illinois State Chorus. Late in December the Chorus went Christmas caroling about the town to cheer up the sick and shut-ins. On March 27, thirty boys and thirty girls journeyed to Earlville to the Little Ten Festival. The numbers were Spinning Top” by Rimsky Korsakoff and Italia, Italia Beloved” by Danezetti. For contest work the required number was Come to the Fair” by Martin. All during the existence of the chorus, this year and last, Pauline Sweeney has added much and helped efficiently with her accompanying. We hope the chorus will be no less successful in the future than it has been in these two years. Jane A. Phelps THE BOYS’ QUARTETTE The Boys’ Quartette was organized by Miss Russell at the beginning of the school year. The members of the quartette are: Joe Hartman, second bass; Frederic Schrader, first bass; Alfred Woodward, second tenor; and Donald Cortright, first tenor. Rachel Hinman is the accompanist. The first appearance of the quartette was at the Junior play. They have appeared before the Sandwich Woman’s Club, the Men’s Banquet as the Congregational Church, and the Athletic Banquet. The Mixed Quartette went to Champaign in November to sing in the All State High School Chorus, in which some of the members had sung a year ago.

Ricks, known as Cappy” introduces us to this weather-beaten old sea dog who is much devoted to his daughter, Florry; underneath the rough exterior and obstinancy is a heart of pure gold. His obsession is Matt Peasly, first mate of one of his vessels, and he ships him with Captain Ole Peterson, a veritable sea wolf, with instructions to put Matt through and cure him of his alleged freshness.” When the ship returns from the voyage, Cappy finds Matt in command, after having beaten the surly Captain. From that time on. Matt proceeds to outgeneral the wilful Captain, by entering into partnership with Florry. Cappy sets an exorbitant price that Matt must have before he will consider giving his daughter to this dog-barking navigator.” Matt cleverly sets out to get it from Cappy by obtaining his trade and several ships. The result is real comedy with a vein of pathos throughout. Another highly amusing love affair is between Cecil Pericles Bernhard, a young waster from the east and Ellen Murray, the stenographer in Cappy’s office and their love making has a surprise finish.

Romance enters Mrs. Stanley’s life for the first time in the person of Professor Giddings. Mrs. Stanley begins to grow young and frivolous, but this does not suit the children. To them she is still a minister’s widow, with that position to maintain, and she is also their mother. The mother decides to remain just a mother, to be as old as my children think I am.” But the Professor solves the problem by asking permission of the daughter to pay his addresses to the mother.

Under his leadership and encouragement several new members were brought in. In November, Mr. Mitchell of Rochelle took charge. Once a week, usually on Wednesday, Mr. Mitchell came and during the day gave lessons. At night regular band practice was held. The band furnished music at cur home basketball games and at the rallies of our football games. On March 27, the band went to Earlville to the Little Ten Music Festival and with the bands from other schools played two fine selections; American Soldier” and Determination.” The personnel of the band is as follows: Clarinet: Katherine Knights Cornets: Miss Main, Donald Cortright, Clarence Massat, Katherine Bowman, Merle Griswold, John Peterson, Merle Moore, Clem Augustine Alto: Robert Coakes Saxophones: Ivyl Hagen, John Vlack, Charles Brower Trombones: Wilbur Coakes Bass: ouis Coakes Drums: Ivan Schuning, William Bark Our band is increasing rapidly in members and in playing ability, and we hope to have thirty or forty members soon.

Berkhout STUDENT COUNCIL Helen Johnson President Charlotte Southwick Vice-President Frederic Schrader Secretary and Treasurer MEMBERS Arthur Killey Carl Berkhout Palmer Erford Cheryl Middauch Irene Otto The Student Council has in the past year fulfilled its duties in many ways. It is necessary that there be some organization of this kind to carry on the required work in a way satisfactory to the student body. The Council is made up of eight members, each Class choosing a boy and a girl who they think will best represent them. The duty of the Council is to decide various matters in the interest of the students. After organizing this fall the council looked after the important business of assigning concessions for the basketball and football games. The concessions for the football games were divided equally among the Juniors and Seniors. The concessions for the basketball games were assigned to the Juniors, and those of the Little Ten Basketball Tournament were given to the Reflector. The council also decided that each class and the faculty should present a pep meeting; these proved to be very inspiring and entertaining. At the last meeting of the Council candidates for the May Queen were decided upon. Boundless credit goes to this group of students making up the Council for its many services to the school.

Mr. Thokey, Johnson DEBATING The question for debate this year as determined by the Illinois State Debate League was: Resolved, That Chain Stores Are Detrimental to Public Welfare.” With the returning of six veteran debaters, who last year won the State Championship, Sandwich High School debate prospects were very bright. The affirmative was upheld by Helen Johnson, Harriet Lett, and Alfred Puhan, a veteran of three years. The negative was upheld by Helen Loeb, Leone Creasy, and Frederic Scheidecker. The season opened with a double victory over East High of Aurora. Next came the National Forensic League Tournament at Aurora which has qualified Sandwich for the National Tournament held at Ripon, Wisconsin, in May. The Sandwich debaters had already been declared eligible to enter the National Meet due to their record in 1930, but they entered this qualifying round just for the experience and finally tied for second place which again made them eligible for the National Meet. New Trier, Freeport, and both East High teams of Aurora fell before the local teams, while Mendota and Freeport were able to take two 2-1 decision from them. In the State League the affirmative and negative teams have registered double victories over Pearl City and Amboy, making them eligible for the fourth consecutive year to enter the District Tournament held at De Kalb, May 1. Sandwich has held the district championship for the last two years, and hopes to annex this year and go to the state final to defend again their crown as state champions. The fine record established in the last two years speaks well for both the team members and their coach. The affirmative team carrying Puhan has not lost one debate up to the time of this writing, and the negative has lost but three in the last fifteen debates. Nothing but outstanding work on the part of the debaters could accomplish such an enviable record. The Sandwich debaters are known and respected all over the state, and they intend to further their reputation in the National Meet this year. This is largely due to the untiring work of their coach, Mr. Thokey, who by developing such outstanding debaters has won for himself a very enviable record, not only within debate circles but for our school.

At the first meeting, plans were discussed and officers were chosen. Lola Schumaker was elected President; Genevieve Lowry, Secretary, and Agatha Lindner, Treasurer. Mademoiselle Main was la critique supreme.” The programs of the French Club were designed to be both entertaining and instructive. Some of the features of the programs were the singing of French songs, working French crossword puzzles, seeing French movies, and studying the lives of important Frenchmen. One of the French Club’s projects this year has been the decorating of the club-room. Interesting French posters border the room, and a French flag adds to the atmosphere. Pillows, foot-stools, and drapes have also been made. Candy and bake sales have been held in order to make money for these furnishings. Another feature of this year’s program was the interesting French play, Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon,” which was given in Chicago, March 7. Everyone enjoyed this trip and liked the play very much. The French Club has been most successful in accomplishing its purpose of giving the students a contact with the language which cannot be given in the classroom. It has also been successful in the study of French literary works, given by members of the French Club. Much interest has been taken in the French Club, and it is hoped that continued interest will be shown. Here’s to a successful year, Le Cercle Francais.” Lola Schumaker Page Fifty-six 19 ♦ deflector ♦ 31 .eS25252S252525252525252525252525?S2S2S252525252525252525H525t!S2525252SZ5252S252S25252525252S25252S252S2S2S252525252525d V.

Miss Main, acting as our pilot of the Latin Club Ship Success.” The first meeting was held to appoint the officers of the year’s club. This year the Latin Club was conducted on a new scale. Each class had charge of a special meeting. One of the best features was a play, The Roman School,” written and presented by five girls of the Freshman class. Throughout these meetings we played games and worked out puzzles for entertainment, which of course afforded educational value. The meetings have been as inspiring as we hoped to make them. Latin Clubs arc sponsored to create a greater interest in languages. These meetings have been conducted with that goal in view. We, the atin Club of 1930-31, hope that more students will choose Latin as a subject this coming year.

Hough FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Our Agricultural Department is still doing its bit toward the fame of Sandwich High School. The past year has seen the entry of the third judging team of Mr. Eade’s coaching enter a National Judging Contest after having won the State Championship. The Scheidecker twins, George and Frederic, won the State Contest in poultry at Urbana last summer. Our combined teams in Fat Stock, Dairy, Poultry, Grain and Com placed sixth with one hundred and fifty-seven teams entered. The National Contest was held at St. Louis in October and our boys placed ninth with nineteen states competing. Our teams are well on toward another brilliant showing, having already been placed high at a contest at DcKalb in December. Frederic Scheidecker with an original oration on The Future of the American Farmer” won in the sectional agricultural oratorical contest, and we expect to see him enter the State Contest at Urbana in June. The boys are busy with their pigs, chickens, cows, and field crops trying to put into practice the things they are learning. Our enrollment this year is larger than ever and includes all the boys interested in agriculture. James Connolly, Stanley Hagen, David Bernard and Lester Claude are the boys of the old guard who are graduating. ggSag5Z5Z5Z5ZSg5ZSZ5Z5ZSZSZ5Z5Z5Z5Z5a5g5Z5ZSg52525gSa5ZSaSB5E Page Fifty-eight 19 ♦ deflector ♦ 31 VS 5 S 5 SlS S S S S S S 5 S SSlS 5 SSlS 5 5 S 5 SlS S SiS S Si5 5 5 5 SS 5 S S SS 5 S 5 S SlS S S S S S S S S S S; BACCALAUREATE The Baccalaureate service for the Class of 1930 was held at the Methodist church, June 8.

Six girls comprised that graduating class. Since that time there has been an occasional reunion and banquet, which was so well enjoyed that attempts were made to form a permanent organization. During the winter of 1925-1926, the Sandwich High School Alumni Association was re-organized, and there are now two alumni functions each year; the dance during the holidays, and the banquet in June. Sandwich High School has given diplomas to 806 young people. Forty-eight of this number have been lost to the alumni by death. The class of 1931 will add 47 members. The Alumni reunions are one of the delightful features of our high school life. The membership includes many of our best young people, many of whom have gone out into other parts to engage in various occupations and professions that have brought them that success and respect which were so prominent during their years of study in school. We are indeed very proud of many of the records made by our members, and only regret that so many are too far away to attend regularly our annual homecomings. The future outlook for the growth and fellowship of our Association is very promising. We hope that all members will do everything possible to keep the organization as active as it is today. Much good may be derived from the social contact of all those who at some time or other made lasting and pleasant memories in the scholastic atmosphere of our dear old Alma Mater.

GOOD POLICY Always laugh at teachers’ jokes No matter how bad they be; Not because they’re funny jokes, But because it’s policy. Alfred W. (talking on Cleopatra” in English class)— Cleopatra probably would have been written on by more men, but Shakespeare was the first to write on her.” Now fellow students, we beg of you, Think not hard of us if some jokes aren’t new, But giggle once, giggle twice, And the old ones you’ll find are still quite nice. Our work is finished, we lay down our pen, While our weary souls say a fond amen. In spirit we remain.
