A RECORD BOOK Published By The Senior Class Sandwich Township High School Sandwich, Illinois FOREWORD Another year has passed and another class leaves its Alma Mater; hoping to retain the memories and spirit of high school life, we present this book as a fitting record of the achievements and events of the year 1934-35. As an expression of our esteem and affection for one who has served us not only as an instructor, guiding us toward the finer and better things of life, but also as a real friend and a true believer in youth, we most respectfully dedicate this book of memories to Miss Elizabeth E. MesenKop, teacher and friend. STAFF LOR IN BESS Editor JEAN POTTER Assistant Editor PHILIP LINDNER JR.

The solo parts were taken by Rachel Densch and Betty Myers. NINETEEN THIRTY FIVE 19 % BAND AND ORCHESTRA The band and orchestra was organized at the first of the second semester. Rehearsals are held once a week under the direction of Mr. Chadwick. The year has been most successful, closing with a concert on May 17. We feel we will have a real band and orchestra before many years roll by. PEP CLUB For the first time in the history of the S. T. H. S. the football boys were given all the names of the girls in high school from which they were to choose twenty-five girls whom they thought were suitable for a club called the Pep Club . This club had charge of the pep meetings given in assembly before games. Money raised by the girls enabled them to purchase black and orange outfits which were worn by them throughout the year at both basketball and football games. Out of these twenty-five girls, Doris Potter, Mildred Watt, Genevieve Killey, Luella Mall, Flora Dickson, Mary Jane Ugland and Suzanne Puhan were chosen as cheer leaders w'ho led the yells at games. We hope that this club will continue in the future as it has been very profitable this year. BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ GLEE CLUBS The boys' and girls' glee clubs number over one-hundred and forty, being divided into active and associate clubs. The active clubs are chosen from competitive try-outs at the beginning of the year. From these groups are chosen the famous Junior-Senior girls' sextette and boys' octet. The active clubs represented Sandwich at the Little Ten Music Festival, held at Waterman, March 22. A special chorus sang the cantata, Columbus'. We consider the glee clubs are the two of the most instructive and successful departments of our school. NINETEEN THIRTY FIVE 21 COMMERCIAL CLUB AG CLUB HI-LIGHTS OF COMMERCIAL CLUB 3rd row—Dorothy Miller, Barbara Bender, Irene Redmond, Harry Freeland, Betty Myers. 2nd row—-Le Roy Colbe, Ruth Kastler, Miss Brooks, Margaret Weismiller, Wesley Eastman, Viola Swanson. 1st row—Loretta Klotz, Ruth Scott, Frieda Boers, Mary Kehl, Della Boers, Marian Swenson, Adaline Page.

The commercial club sent the following people to participate in the sectional tournament held at Sycamore, April 27. Those who participated were: Viola Swanson and Elaine Peterson, Shorthand; Fern Hodge, Typing. This club, although organized only last year, has been proven very successful and .we feel sure that it will carry on in the same successful manner in the coming years.

Some of the accomplishments have been the thrift bank, cooperative buying of 60 head of sheep and 1000 strawberry plants for its members, a Dad's Night, and evening school for farmers. In December the judging teams in corn, grain and poultry entered the sectional contest in which 20 schools participated and won first in poultry; second in grain; and third in corn. This gave Sandwich the highest number of points in the whole contest. NINETEEN THIRTY FIVE FRENCH CLUB LATIN CLUB 24 HI-LIGHTS OF FRENCH CLUB 3rd row—Wilbur Coakes, Harold Troupe, Charles Whitfield, Fern Hodge. 2nd row Susie Puhan, Betty Myers, Joan Weismiller, Iola Lee. 1st row Dorothy Peterson, Miss Dorland. The French Club plays an interesting part in the outside activity of French students, and has been among the more important. The officers elected this year were: Betty Myers, president; Mildred Watt, vice president; Susie Puhan, secretary. One of the features of the year 1934-35 was the French play. The members of the French Club have been most successful in their study of French literary work and they also have achieved their purpose in learning better the art of speaking French under the able direction of Miss Dorland. We were most fortunate in having her, as she had previously taught in France. LATIN CLUB 4th row—Evelyn Regenhardt, Clarabelle Lett, Phyllis Cochran, June Schumaker, Hector Mattison, Moulton Prussing, Joseph Neuhauser, Robert Marselus, Donald Ogilvie, Judson Peto. 3rd row—Anna Bender, Helen Fanning, Lorene Hubbard, Iileene Parks, Miss Dorland, Barbara Fosse, Bernice Converse, Sue Myers, Margaret Hanson, Marian Cunz. 2nd row Shirley Reyman, Gladys Sebby, Louise Ugland, Cheryl Parks, Eileen Brady. 1st row—Everett Darling, Alvin Sebby, Ralph Fierabend, Vernon Sebby, Robert Swenson. Another successful year has passed for the Latin Club with Moulton Prussing as president; Ralph Fierabend, vice president; and Cheryl Parks as secretary and treasurer. The study of Latin was made more interesting by learning the Roman customs and comparing them with ours. It was interesting to note the manv things we have derived from Latin, and how valuable the language really is. T o make things still more true to life, booklets were made, plays given and current events studied of the modern Rome. Outside of school the club has had several social gatherings at the homes of the students. NINETEEN THIRTY FIVE 25 STUDENT COUNCIL NEWS STAFF 26 HI-LIGHTS OF STUDENT COUNCIL 2nd row—Harold Troupe, Ruth Kastler, Carl Johnson, Lyle Walker. 1st row—Vernon Sebby, Phyllis Cochran, Dorothy Peterson, Irene Jones. The Student Council again performed their duties in a noteworthy manner. The duty of the council is the deciding of various matters in the interest of the student body. It is necessary there be some organization of this kind to carry on the required work in a way satisfactory to all concerned. The council is made up of eight members, each class choosing a boy and a girl who they think will best represent them. Boundless credit goes to the group of students making up the council for its many services to the school. 3rd row—Ruth Kastler, Marie Rogne, Jean Potter, Sue Myers, Moulton Prussing, Fern Hodge. 2nd row—Phil Lindner, Betty Myers, Chas.
