MAXINE IEUTED O Miss Maxine Ieuter who for three years has served as Ad- viser to the Class of 1930 of the Streator Township High Schoolg who has labored tirelessly to make every activity successfulg who has come smiling thru the Sophomore Cab- aret, the Junior Vodvil, the Senior Plays and partiesg we, the Seniors, dedicate this, the twelfth volume of the Hardscrabble. We shall lovingly remember her many acts of kindness, her cheerful assistance, and ready smile. Her fairness and sympathetic interest in all of our activities will remain with us as one of our most cherished memories. It is our earnest wish that she may find in her new venture the happiness which she so richly deserves. .e Y, . - --K Af. 3 ..- .-,--.-i1,,. f 1 I 1 7 I 1 I 1 4 J f 9 2 Q 9 1 9 4 Z 4 4 4 4 4 2 Z 6 5 2 : 4 2 Q f 4 , 1 1 a 4 1 5 1 5 g 9 Q 5 2 , 4 1 ff' it--:nn ,, E z IQ N this volume of the Hardscrabble issued by the Class of 1930, We have attempted to depict our interest in modern means of transportation, the airplane. Our aim has been to show in what way the airplane is typical of our school. As we see it, the parts of the airplane may be likened to the various units of the school: Mr. Waldrip, Pilotg The Board of Educa- tion, Gasolineg The Faculty, Engineg The Senior Class, Wingsg Underclass- men, Fusilageg Athletics, Wheelsg Organizations, Propellerg and Humor, Rudder. As the airplane runs along on the ground for a time, then rises grad- ually into the air, finally soaring confidently onward 3 so the various classes of our school are flown under the skillful guidance of our licensed pilot, W.

WALDRIP, Principal ITHIN the memory of most of the experienced high school teachers, there has appeared a quadrupling of high school attend- ance. Naturally the question follows, Why is this ? and Are we meeting the needs of this growing group ? We are a nation that is waking up to the need of general advancement in all lines of knowledge. This is the answer to the Why, Are we meeting the needs of this growing group? We are succeeding to a remarkable degree. A varied program is offered that is designed to meet the needs of all classes and varieties of students. We take pride in the fact that we work to a real advantage with the varying minds and needs of all the pupils that come to us, no matter what their particular problems may be. We welcome the ever growing numbers of pupils, and with our equipment are able to take care of many more that may come. Streator High answers, We are meeting the needs of the great and growing group that is now, or may be, with us. W. D. WALDRIP, Principal. ..A,.jl-, , W- ,....3 in .. . .....,,......

In our airplane, which is called Streator Township High School, the engine is unusually powerful, being thirty-six faculty power. This faculty power includes ten man power and twenty-six woman power. It is required to lift a load of eight-hundred and forty-eight pupils through two semesters of hard work. By using the finest lubricating oils, sometimes called books, and the high- est grades of machinery, otherwise known as teachers, this unit of our airplane has performed its work in a highly efficient manner.

The steel and brick and material elements are inanimate and valueless as an institution of learning until the human factor of administration and personnel gives it the breath of life. As the plane is inert until the pilot assumes command and utilizes the gasoline, so is the school building until it has a pilot. Upon administration depends the degree of success of any institution, and that the Streator Township High School ranks among the best in the State of Illinois is evidence of the efficient hand of an administrator,-of the guiding genius of W. D. Waldrip, representative of the ideals and ambitions of the members of the High School Board of Education. Again enrollment records have been broken, there being eight hundred and forty-seven students registered in the mid-semester term, as compared with eight hundred and ten of a year ago. Already the administrators are looking forward to the time when the capacity of the building will be taxed to the utmost. The introduction of a course in German has added to the well-rounded course of study offered the students. The curriculum is so varied as to meet the requirements in all lines of future endeavor. Work in home economics, machine shop, wood shop, printing, art, business, physical culture, and music is open to the students in addition to the regular courses preparatory to college entrance. The Streator Township High School continues to be on the accredited list of all the universities in the United States, with the exception of Harvard, Yale and Princeton. These institutions require examination. The standing of the school is determined by the state educational board which considers many factors in arriving at its decision. Hundreds of new books have been added to the school library, giving this department unusually high rank. Minor replacements have been made in the shop and in the science department. Alterations in the gymnasium have been completed to provide an additional three hundred seating capacity, a measure necessary to accommodate the large crowds attending athletic events. The following instructors have added to the faculty power of our plane: Frank Simison, Mary Howland, and Francis Koenig have taken the places of Zola Morris, William Liggett, and J. Tom Miles in the English Department, with Sonia Miller added to the staff as reader of themes: Gerald Stambaugh has succeeded Wyman Smith as director of the band and orchestra, and has taken the place of J. Tom Miles in the history departmentg Gladyce Kirkpatrick is an additional instructor in the mathematics department and has replaced George Porter in the science department, Phillis Wittman has also been added to the staff of the science department, Margaret Tkach has assumed the duties of secretary to the principal, succeeding Clodagh Kelly, and is assisted by Katherine Crowl. With the continuance of the present administration, greater strides in academic advancement may be anticipated year after year. .

These wings, though pliable and of very fine fiber, are never-the-less substantial. Under the guidance of capable instructors, they have taken on rugged strength in the closing days of our high school career. The breadth of the plane is measured by the wing span as the breadth of the school is measured by the Senior Class. The function of the Wings is to lift the plane onward and ever upward. In case of an accident to them the plane would be unable to proceed on its journey. The Senior Class has recognized this responsibility and has accepted the challenge courageously. 1' Page Seve e li luQff!g5,f,,lv-flflllle - ef The Sunscr- A strip of tangerine, A streak of violet too, And then a bit of greeng But, most of all, a splash of blue With crimson in between Makes the charm of the sunset- God's intended dream. f-A Little Jie: A little act of kindness, here Upon our earth below, Will make the skies more bright for some, And cheer your life also. Don't fret and sigh when things go wrong, Or troubles come your way: For other folks have heartaches too, So please look glad and gay. Slowly the liquid colors sink and fade, Slowly turning to a crimson shade, Now veiled by lace of gray, Slowly, sinking, fading away Till finally the royal purple prevailing- It is night. -Bertha Helander '30 of lQndness If you are sad and all seems lost, If skies are dark and gray. A kindly deed for someone else Will cheer you on your way. Don't make this life look dark to all, Because you think you're blueg But send out beams of light and love, And you'll be happy too. -Lorene Kelly '30 C6550 the Glass of '30 Our high school days will soon be o'er, We'll start on paths not used before, And though these paths be far apart, We'Il still be close, deep in our heart. A few of us shall famous beg Some of us shall hold the key To happiness which reigns o'er all. Where each has helped when others fall. And when each one has done his task, We all shall meet, and all shall ask, What have YOU done to help the earth? . Then each shall tell of all-since birth. And tho' all youth may think us queer: When we are old, we'll have no fear, For in our hearts sweet peace shall reign: We'll not have lived our lives in vain. -Frances Sauer '30 ,Spring The dancing brook went bubbling o'er the stones, The birds of every hue began to singg The flowers with their sweet fragrance rare Joined gaily in the chorus, It is Spring. A bee buzzed merrily from flower to flower, The rose said, Stop and rest awhile with meg He only laughed and worked much harder still, I canriot stop, for this is Spring you see. The blades of grass, and dainty little leaves Of flowers through the ground began to peep, And then, the tiny buds appeared and grew- Sweet Spring had called them from their winter's sleep. I walked o'er meadows green and wood- land dells, Where nature's beauty painted every- thing, My soul was thrilled with all that God had made: With rapture I sang gaily, It is Spring. -Lorene Kelly '30 fu L an ff N, .

The student that best fulfills these obligations is named the Honor Student, and his or her picture is placed in the library.

SENIDRQ QIEILAQIEI' IIHHSWIFGDRT C5112 'Prodigious oglight of 1930 ingenious C3'rosh INETEEN hundred twenty-six was a distinguished year for the Streator Township High School. It was an extraordinary year for the people of Streator, a momentous one for the United States of America. We, the class of 30, fneed it be mentioned ?J the most truly industrious. remarkably outstanding, and singularly ingenius group of Freshmen ever to enter Streator High School landed at her airport eager to begin our fiight. We were 130 prodigies in number. , We bought an airplane Con Profs credit! in order to steer our course straight and swift, and, of course, to make the records and achieve- ments of former classes look diminutive, microscopic, and insignificant. We hitched our plane to a star, and elected Jean Flockhart, President, Katherine Bargreen, Vice-President, Maxine Grant, Secretaryg Cedric Gunther, Treasurer, and Miss Pittman, Adviser. Although Freshmen, we were not bound by bashfulness, constraint, or precedent. We made Friday, the 13th of May, a lucky day by surprising the upperclassmen with a real May Party. We ended our first year of unparalleled achievement by determining to pilot our plane Onward, onward, ever onward! e9YCagnanimous Sophsn Returning to the school airport the following fall, we found that we were upperclassmen. We kept ourselves amused for the most part by watching the obtuse actions and puerile traits of the incoming Freshmen.

Again we gave the most dazzling and stupendous party of the year. Friday, the 13th of April, was the fortunate day on which the gymnasium, dressed in the effulgent splendor of Broadway's most glittering night club, welcomed score upon score of dancers to the floor. 'Uivacious juniors Our Junior year was an incessant succession of mirthful and blithe- some good times. We started the year out right by electing Oscar Lorenz, President, Elbert Gragg, Vice-Presidentg Katherine Bargreen, Secretary, and William Schallhammer, Treasurer, with Miss Ieuter still piloting us onward. We gave a big snow ball party on the evening of January 11. With the syncopated strains of Crider's orchestra, the dancing, and the ice cream party after the dance, we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. And our Vodvil-was it a wow? I should say! We gave it at the Plumb Theatre, April 18, 19, and 20. Its well selected choruses, graceful dancers, excellent singers, and never failing humor held the throngs breathless-first, gripped by the intensity of pathos and then relaxed under its capricious charm. The colossal scene of the year was reached on May 24, when we gave the Prom, The gymnasium underwent a complete transformation and became an enchanting rose garden. The twinkling stars completely fascinated the dancers, while the roses climbing high to the celestial balconies and peeping from window boxes captivated the imagination of all present. An artistically proportioned fountain in the center of the garden effervesced dazzling sprays of water. Oh, that music the orchestra played in delightful, syncopated strains! Hcgotistical Seniors Slowly, slowly, our plane reached its goal. After three long years of thinking, waiting, and hoping, we were actually Seniors. Corridor duty held us for the first few weeks, when we obligingly directed the Freshmen here and there. Then we came to the realization that it was our last year, and that, besides holding the place of honor socially, we must keep it mentally. The election of our class officers was considered one of the most important events of the year. The office of President again fell upon Oscar Lorenz, whose remarkable leadership had carried us through our P ge Thirty-Eight ,,.. , -.-.

The oflice of Vice-President went to Yvonne Sipe. Katherine Bargreen, who had held every office except Treasurer, was elected to that office. Maxine Grant carried on the duties of Secretary, and Miss Ieuter, one of our favorites, was chosen Class Adviser for the third consecutive time. The Senior Dance, given the night before Thanksgiving, was one of the social successes of the year. Too soon the second semester arrived, and, before we realized it, we were coming back to the airport after Spring Vacation with only six weeks of school left for the Seniors. Work! Did we work? In a desperate effort to complete our studies and to bring the year to a successful close, we almost forgot to leave the traditional gift to the school. Then remem- bering, we decided that we would completely equip the Senior Dramatics room with lights, a platform, curtains, in fact, all the essentials fitting and proper as a gift to old Streator High. In May we were enterained by the Juniors at the annual Prom, Tears nearly came when we realized that it was the last dance of our high school career. Then, sitting on a wing of our plane, we philosophized upon the well balanced achievements of our class. Two of our boys have been distinctly recognized by appointments to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. Others have shown ability along musical lines, while still others have obtained scholarships and have made application for entrance into various famous eastern universities and colleges. Three of our boys on the Varsity Basketball Team proved themselves among the very best players in the state leaving their names forever engraved in the annals of Streator High. June-and graduation! What transports of delight the first week of June held for us. Baccalaureate services were held on Sunday night, June lst. Then came the Class Play June 2 and 3, followed by Class Night held June 4. The evening of June 6 was a great event for us. With tears in our eyes, we received our much coveted sheepskin, for, although we knew that we were saying good-bye to dear old Streator High, we realized that we might some day return, proud of our Alma Mater, and she proud of us! Truly the flight of the Class of 1930 has been prodigious and in keeping with our motto- Onwa1'd, onward ever onward ! Thomas Walter Larkin, 'S-30.

The aerial beauty of the airship is enhanced by the slim, taut body, skimming lightly through the deep blue of the sky. The fusilage constitutes the largest unit of the plane and is therefore very essential, as in a like manner the underclassmen constitute the body of the school. It is this stream-lined body which helps the wings bring about the highest speed the plane may attain. .-,-..-,, rX..,.JfM.,......7,Lg5'C-tgJ,,... .V,. -' ----Af4---- N -S. 1-,,, ,alglskw ' - ----V--f.--- '-.nfl r Page 1 orty 0 s,,,Y ,W,,g,,,,, W - fx , ,.--.- ,f --f f1f ff 'P3'fll xml se umm: r -w-f .1 r 1 1 , ,.r,-.-,-L.-L. -L -. ,x ga.

Miss Moynihan 9YQwices on the qirst Leg 1927 was a record breaking year. First Lindbergh hopped off across the unexplored and mysterious etherial regions. He was followed closely by the class of '31 which began its aerial work at Streator Township High School, our airport. We soon gained altitude and sped away on the first leg of our trip, which, by the way, was to continue for four years with the loss of only three months each summer for necessary repairs and refueling. For the first year, the good ship '31 was manned by William Waldrip, President: Aleck Jardine, Vice-President, Wayne Linder, Secretary, Virl Starkey, Treasurerg and Miss Cotterly, Adviser. A Our shipmates on the flight soon began to show their flying ability. Wayne Linder represented us on the football varsity and Harold Greenwood was our star track man. Haskell Shay literally flew for us on the swimming team. Our first dance was a May party. The Queen, Lillian Scheffler, marched gaily up to the throne with the King, Burton Baskin. There the coronation took place amid trellises of roses and banks of flowers. Jlmateurs on the Second Leg Next year we were still gaining speed. Our crew for that year was William Waldrip, Presidentg Anna Marie O'Connell, Vice-President, Richard Pittman, Secretary, Margaret McGuire, Treasurer, and Mr. Bland, Adviser. Plenty of athletes answered the call during our second year. Aleck Jardine and Elbert Gragg made the varsity football team, and Elbert Gragg and Elmer Adams became regular licensed pilots on the basketball varsity. In swimming, Haskell Shay again made an enviable record. Our party was given in March. The gym was brilliantly arrayed in red and white. During the intermission we were entertained by a trio of acrobats Helen Ford, Ada Simpson, and Evelyn Jones. ,.r. .f f' 1 . . --.. --N Y , fr... , L --H YN- VY. ,-. -X4-gs., , , 'LQ'-,L:,,',' --------+-' 1- Forty-Two A' .f J O flbrofessionals on the Third Leg During these first two years we were acquiring air sense and becoming air minded. When our Junior year came around, we were ready for high flying. We elected Elbert Gragg, President, Leone Brown, Secretary, William Waldrip, Treasurerg and Miss Moynihan, Adviser. Elbert Gragg, John Podkanowicz, Elmer Adams, Aleck Jardine, Burton Baskin. William Waldrip, Edward Dooley, Mitchell Harcharick and Captain-elect Wayne Linder were the Junior gridders. Captain Haskel Shay proved himself one of the best swimmers in the Illinois Valley by breaking an Illinois Valley record of long standingg namely, the back stroke. In the varsity basketball team we had William Waldrip, Elmer Adams, and Captain Gragg, all of Whom were dependable men and experienced flyers. In fact, these men might well be termed 'aces' of the team. The following men were also on the baseball squad: Elmer Adams. Mitchell Harcharik, Edward Dooley, Francis Stortz, Ray Clayton, and Haskell Shay. On December 13th we gave our Junior dance. The gym twinkled gaily with brightly colored lights, and the crowd glided among the Christmas trees to the music of Vogel's orchestra. On May lst and 2nd the Junior Vodvil Circus came to town, set up its tents, and took Streator by storm. The climax of our iiight came at last when, in May, we invited the Seniors to one of the best 'Proms' ever given at Streator High. We've taken on fuel and are ready for next year's flight. The plane is in great shape and the crew is full of pep and, ambition. Extensive improvements have been made in our airport at Streator High, and we are sure that next year there will be many solo pilots and even a few more 'aces' to be found in the members of the '31 crew.

We enrolled at ground school in the fall of 1928 with hopes high and ambitions unbounded. We chose the following students as our first ofiicers: Catherine Rush, Presidentg Clyde Connell, Vice-President, Dick Dorsey, Secretaryg Roger Halligan, Treasurer, and Miss Barber, Adviser and flight instructor. Then we began our course of trainingg we began the business of learning the intricate machinery of our plane, the High School, and other aerial knowledge besides the real flying, which, to us, meant going to school. Clyde Connell, Roland Paton, Dick Dorsey, Bob Roe, Guy Powell, and others advanced rapidly, and soon won places on the various athletic teams. As we learned to battle the currents and air pockets of school life, we realized what an essential place is the ground school. Our instructors taught us everything to prepare us to make the real fiying easy. With each take-off and landing, marked by a successful excursion into school affairs, we gained confidence in our ability as part of the student body of our great profession. Our first solo flight came on May tenth in the form of our Freshman Class Party. It was a carnival called the Freshie Frolicf' The gym was decorated in nile green and white, the class colors, with balloons, horns, noise-makers, serpentine and confetti to carry out our scheme. The tickets were numbered and a real prize drawing took place. Tumblers furnished entertainment and Dick Marsha1l's Orchestra, the dance music. Page Forty F This party ended the year with a three-point landing and we in possession of our first solo fiying hour. We continued our training as Sophomores, though now we were acquainted with our plane and able to maneuver alone. We elected the following officers: Roger Halligan, President, Bruce Jones, Vice-President, Dick Crane, Secretary, Marjorie Moore, Treasurerg and Miss Barber again Adviser. We added flying hours to our credit by joining the clubs to which we were eligible, and by participating in school activities. We completed our necessary fifty solo hours and received our pilot's license with our Sophomore St. Patrick's Party five days after St. Patrick's Day. The chief decorations were shamrocks, snakes, pipes, and hats. A large green hat suspended from the center of the ceiling which threw an emerald radiance upon the fioor proved an extraordinary novelty. And now we have our license but still lack the hundred hours flying experience necessary to continue. However, we shall gain them in our remaining high school and college years, or in the school of experience, which, as everyone knows, is the most difficult way of learning! We'll meet you at the Old Streator High Airport in September. Ardith Teas '32 ,sophomores l lRS'l' ROW Roger llallignn. James O'Neal, Ellis Karr, James Moran, Bruce Jones.

Miss Kirkpatrick qreshmen Cgfistory 33 Having finished a course of ground flying, the class of 33 set out for the S. H. S. fiying field where we were to attempt our first of four annual class flights for higher learning. Upon reaching the airport, we were welcomed by that ace of aces, Professor Waldrip, and by the other members of the faculty, the aces who were to instruct us concerning the most important points in making our first flight. Professor Waldrip, the instructors, and the other pilots recognized us as part of the fusilageg then we made preparations for our first semester fiight. Our class donned their flying togs and prepared to hop off in the new plane 33 with the class adviser, Miss Gladyce Kirkpatrick at the controls. Although the runway was very rough and uneven, we took off successfully. A log of our fiight was kept from which the following notes were taken: In October, the Freshie Frolic was given for us by the other class aviators. It was held in the gym of the huge hangar where the school plane is kept. We held our first class meeting in November electing the following officers to assist in guiding the ship: Bob Musser, President, Jean Bertiaux, Vice-President, Florence Morse, Secretaryg and Eleanor Reynolds, Treasurer. February ushered in a new group of amateurs. We again hopped off for our second semester fiight, a little more sure of our ability to handle the plane than before. A few of the future licensed pilots of 33 have done excellently in the basketball patrol. Raymond Clayton and Fred Kaley have flown splendidly in the All-Staters numerous flights, and Bob Musser has done several loop the loops to success as a substitute on Pops Dale's Varsity Squadron. The next year or so should see him as a regular licensed pilot. Although Hying through the air pockets has proved rather difficult, we are gaining altitude, semester by semester. We freshmen are fiying close to good old terra firma this year however, but as Sophomores, we'll be flying higher. Contact!

The wheels of the plane provide the traction whereby the wings are able to lift it onward and upward. The different forms of athletics of the school pro- vide the traction for the student body and also lay a foundation for future health and capacity for learn- ing by furnishing an outlet for ambi- tions and energies.

Dale as in previous years, again put out two great teamsg his football and basket- ball teams. His football team, although losing two games, was one of the best Dale ever instructed. His basketball team lost in the finals of the District Tournament for the first time in eight years, but still critics will call it the greatest tive-man team Dale ever coached. Pops' personality and excellent coaching easily make him one of the outstanding coaches in Illinois. COACH BLAND-Bland, serving his second year at Streator, is another member of the valuable coaching stalf, which serves Streator High's athletic endeavors. The great showing the backfield gave, marked Bland's coaching ability in football. His baseball teams have lived up to the reputa- tion which other Streator athletic teams have shown. As assistant Coach in basket- ball, Bland aided Dale a great deal during the season. BLAND COACH BRIX- Andy coached our Lightweight football and track teams again this year for his fifth consecutive season, and he also found time to direct Streator High's efforts in boxing and debating. Brix has done much to improve Streator High from the sporting angle. It was he who gave Streator's cross-country and lightweight football teams their initial punch back in '25. He has done a good deal with boxing and debating also. 'Uarsity 'Goofball Ciieam., FIRST ROW- Mohler, Harcharik, Linder, Gragyz, Schallhammer 1CaptainD. Pnmlkanowicz, Brown, Adams.

A powerful cooperating team, centering its attack with the redheaded backfield, went through the season winning 7 and losing 2 games. To open the season, the Dalemen trekked to Normal fBloomington3 where they won 14-0. Peoria Central was next in the line of our machine, and it bowed to a better team 13-0. The Red and White traveled to Ottawa, and annexed their third victory in as many starts, 19-0. Homer, a small school near Champaign, was trampled upon by the heavy red and white onslaught 35-7. In the home-coming game with La Salle, the team didn't let up and won its fifth victory in a row, 13-0. Streator's first night game came next. 3,500 people watched a heavy Kankakee team defeated a fighting Streator team 13-7. This was considered the greatest game that had been played here in many years. Then followed three other night games to close the season. Spring Valley 1HallJ defeated the Red and White after a great battle, 20-7. Marseilles could not compare with the smooth working Streator team, and went home beaten, 32-7. In the final game of the year, the Red and White defeated Senn High CChicagoJ 19-6. During this very successful season, in which the team played nine games, Streator scored 159 points and their oponents 53. qootball ,Schedulo Date Opponent Where Played Streator Sept, Normal 0 ............,....... ..........

In their first game of the season, the lights turned in a win over Ottawa, 13-0. La Salle came next, and with a faster and heavier team wallopped Streator, 24-0. A return game with Ottawa, at that city, proved to be another win for the red and white, 14-0. A game with Pontiac, at that city, followed in line, and Streator was sent back home on the short end of a 14-0 count. The last game of the season proved to be the most disastrous one, as La Salle trimmed the lights 32-7. Although losing three out of the five games played, much valuable material was found for next year's varsity. Among the outstanding men on the lights this year were Doran. Powell, Paton, Gragg, and Fletcher. These men should be heard from next year when football rolls around.

Swimming Streator High's swimming team, coached by Harold Zentner for this occasion, made a remarkable showing in the Illinois Valley meet this year despite the fact that there were only two veterans on the team, Shay and Baskin. The tank team placed second in the meet, beating Ottawa out of that position by a lone point. La Salle-Peru again Won the meet for the second consecutive year. In a dual meet with the Ottawa splashers, the Streator team was defeated because of the absence of Shay, Streator's Captain, who was ill at that time. Shay made eleven and a quarter of the twenty points made by Streator in the Illinois Valley meet. ' Among the notable performers on the team this year were Captain Haskell Shay fpresent record holder in the Valley of the forty yard back strokej Fred Kaley, and Burton Baskin.

Jiggs Cain was the fifth man on the team, and held it as well as any veteran could do. This year's schedule was as hard as in previous years, meeting Canton twice, Springfield CM.-ark Peterman's new home at the presentj in a two game series, De-La Salle and Spaulding two games each, Decatur, Big Twelve Champions in '28, and the two Peoria teams, Manual and Central. The season opened December 10th at Morris, with the Dalemen winning 26-25. The following week-end Toluca was administered a neat drubbing, 26-15. A day later Dwight was no match for the Red and White, losing 17-7. Peoria Central fell next in line, and Streator defeated them on our floor, the first time in years, 25-14. The next week's play was centered on the Christmas tournament. January 3, Streator traveled to Peoria and beat Central for the second time in a year, 15-14. Five days later, Ottawa was overwhelmed, 32-19. January 10, proved to Streator fans the most interesting game as yet, Archie Chadd's Canton Plows set back the Bulldogs 6-5,-the first defeat for the Red and White in ten starts. gc Fifty-Eight Kankakee fell four days later, however, 25-16. Mark Peterman brought his Springfield Senators here for the first time, December 17 and lost to the Dalemen 20-10. Kankakee gave the Streator five its second defeat at that city, 13-5. On January 24, Streator drubbed De-La Salle 24-18. The next game was at the State Capitol city against Mark Peterman and his Springfield cagers. Springfield defeated the Dalemen Four days later the Bulldogs' second team took Dwight into camp, The Red and White entertained De-La Salle at Joliet, February 7 and brought home another victory, 32-18. Four days later Decatur, Big Twelve Champs in '28, were beaten 20-15. Then Canton fell in line as another Streator victim, the Bulldogs evening their series with a 21-17 victory. Then Streator and Pontiac clashed for the first time in years, Pontiac licked Streator 25-23, but we all know the best team lost, as the Bulldogs played far under their standard. Streator rolled up their biggest score of the season against Ottawa at that city drubbing the McKay men 50-14. Then came the District and the Illinois Wesleyan meets. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT For the first time in nine years, the Red and White cagers failed to annex this championship by being defeated in the finals by a much smaller school and dark horse of the meet, Seneca-20-18. Streator went through the first three games in great style and were heavy favorites to repeat their championship act as in previous years, but faltered in the final game. Much sorrow was cast on the entire town and student body, because gf this defeat, but these happenings must be taken as they occur in every- ay 1 e. ILLINOIS WESLEYAN TOURNAMENT Streator entered this meet again after a lapse of three years and made a commendable showing by capturing third placeg in doing so, they defeated some very good teams. Their first game with Athens, a southern school, ended with a Bulldog victory 19-17. Pekin was then defeated 18-8. Morris handed the Red and White their only defeat of the Tourney 25-9. Streator had previously defeated this school earlier in the season. The Dalemen beat Springfield for third place 18-17. CAPTAIN GRAGG Red proved to be one of the best leaders that the Red and White teams have ever played under. Gragg played football as well as basketball. He started in football as a fullback on the team, and because of his exceptional playing and ability as leader, he was the unanimous choice for cage-captain. Gragg will graduate in February. He will play basketball until that time and then will be ineligible. When Red graduates, - the school will lose one of the greatest GRAGG athletes it has had the honor of holding. Page Fifty N I , . l ,.V- iv-. CAIN sci-IALLHAMMER MOHLER HALL CLAYTON Graduating S Men 'Uarsity .Basketl9all 'Personnel MOHLER-Stretch played his last year for Streator High and ended in remarkable fashion. He cam!! into his own this year, and played his center position with such ability that he should go great in college basketball. CAIN-Jiggs was the fifth man on the team this year, and played the game as if he had been born with a basketball in his arms. Cain, a lanky fellow, used his heighth to a good advantage by controlling the ball above his opponents' heads. Jiggs, who played forward, will also graduate this year. SCHALLHAMMER-Bill, who played floor guard, will also graduate this year, leaving Dale searching for another guard next season. Bill played the game with all the determination and Hght that one could put into it. CLAYTON-Minnie entered the team during the middle of the season, and finished in a blaze of glory. Although much smaller than his opponents, Minnie's speed ade up for this, as he would go around the biggest guard, and would be all over tlilelfloor in a moment. It is too bad that Glen has not one more year of basketbal . HALL-Paul, although not setting any records while in his years of basketball. was a reliable substitute, and a hot shot. Paul gave a good account of himself in all games he entered. ADAMS-Bud entered his second year of varsity basketball and made a com- mendable record for himself. Elmer played heads-up ball all the time, and was one of the most valuable men that the Bulldogs possessed. Adams has one year of basketball and at the height of next season should be a world beater. MUSSER-Bob, only a freshman, showed that he has plenty of stuff and ability in becoming a real basketball player. He should be heard from next year. YEDNOCK-Joe entered from Grand Ridge during the middle of the semester and proved to be a valuable substitute for center. Joe improved loads in a period of three weeks. His ability in getting the tip off was remarkable. HARCHARIK--Mitch, playing his first year of Varsity basketball, showed lots of fight and pep which goes to make a team. Harcharik should make a regular next year. WALDRIP-Bill, substituting at guard, was a reliable man, and showed merit in every game he played. Page Sixty w -V H, - .....

The Lights also served as a scrimmage team for the varsity. The aim of Coach Dale in forming this team is to have material for the next year's varsity: thus these boys can develop and in the mean time acquire enough experience so that some of them may prove valuable enough for the varsity. The outstanding men on the All-Stater squad this year were Wahl, Clonnell, and Smith. The interesting feature of the squad this year was that there was not a senior on the team. The All-Staters should receive much praise and encouragement from the pupils and patrons of the high school. Everyone knows that nobody really enjoys playing second fiddle. These boys have given much time to practicing, and have worked hard, many of them against great odds, to make an effective curtain-raiser for the Bulldogs. Of course, some of them may in time prove good enough for the varsity, but many play on, knowing that they can never hope to do more than give practice to their big brothers. Here's to them-these eager go-getters! Tiieam 'Personnel CARL WAHL-Guard-Carl played his guard position in great style. He should play varsity ball next year. CLYDE CONNELL-Center- Squint played good basketball all year. He still has another year of play. RAY CLAYTON-Forward-A freshman who shows signs of developing into a great player. A FRED KALEY-Forward-Another freshman who will bear watching next year. ROBERT WARREN-Guard- Bob played good ball in all games he entered. ERNEST SMITH-Forward- Ernie playing his first year of basketball played like a veteran. ALECK JARDINE-Guard- C0onie was a good guard, and could hit baskets. ROBERT ROE-Forward- Bob played good ball in all games he entered. EDWARD DOOLEY-Guard-Ed was a valuable sub, he gave an excellent account of himself. Page Sixty-Three ff' - ,-..

' iBaseball Season., Coach Bland issued his call for baseball again this year after a successful season was had last year, and twenty-six boys reported. Five of these men were veterans of last year's teamg namely, Clayton, Tkach, Adams, Hall, and Linder. After weeks of constant practising and drilling, Bland and his men faced their first opponent, Marseilles High, and defeated them 9-4. They looked very inspiring' in doing so. Canton came next, the first year that this school has had a ball team. They were defeated by the strong' Red and White machine, 24-1. Among some of the teams the Red and White have yet to play are Bloomington High. St. Bedes, St. Viators, and University High. These teams will probably give the Blandmen their hardest battles of the year. Coach Bland has aroused so much interest in his team and games that the crowds at the games have been very large. It seems to the writer that baseball has come to stay at Streator High. SCHEDULE Date Opponent Where Played Streator April 11 ....... ........

Gross Qountry The fourth Annual Invitation Cross-Country Meet was another feature of our cross-country season. It was held in conjunction with the homecoming football game and was received with enthusiasm by the spectators, among whom were many alumni. The big race was started just before the end of the first quarter of the game and was timed so that the finish occurred during the inter- mission between the halves of the game. The course of the long run was over the golf course near the field. During the main part of their run, the runners had only a small audience but as they circled the football field for the finish of the race, all eyes were upon them. The tape was broken by Fisher of La Salle-Peru who was followed by Cresto, also of La Salle-Peru. Directly behind the La. Salle runners came Foley of Lostant and the fourth man in was Jones, the first Streator man to place. The last three contenders were Foeste, Shaeffer, and Godfrey, all of Streator. The final standings were: La Salle-Peru 20 Streator 23 Lostant 36 Brix entered his harriers in a meet held at Carlyle, Illinois, this year but succeeded in getting but fifth place.

Page Sixty-Six Go-Qaptain N Wfarold Greenwood Greenie , regarded as the fastest man in the Illinois Valley Conference, started his third year of track, was an unanimous choice for co-captain of this year's team. Harold running the 100 and 220 yard dashes, has made such a remarkable showing in these particular events that he was placed on A. G. Spaulding's All-American Prep Track team last year. Greenwood was timed at one time in the 100 yard dash at 9.9 seconds, and if he continues his good work this year, he will easily break this mark. Co-Captain N :Allan 'woodard Allan was elected co-captain of the Track team along with Greenwood and proved a most valuable captain. Woodward's specialty is running the hurdles, and he has scored many points for the Red and White in this event. Allan graduates this year WOODWARD GREENWOOD and Coach Brix will lose a valuable track man. Cfdrack Season., I The track season opened with the Red and White entering the Carlyle meet and placing second with 9 points scored. Millikin Interscholastic was again attended by the thinly clads, and Streator placed fourth, with Greenwood and Powell starring in the dashes and hurdles respectively. The Gridley Relay Carnival, April 25, was a success from the viewpoint of the track team because of their winning the meet with 32 pointsg ten points ahead of the second closest school. The Red and White showed remarkable strength in this meet. With Greenwood leading the way and scoring 13 points by himself, the Red and White placed second in the Bradley Interscholastic held April 26, at Peoria. This is the first time that the Streator team had placed so well in this meet. Greenwood was given an Elgin watch for being the outstanding man in the meet, which was quite an honor. Streator High's colors shone in our fifth Invitational Meet held April 30, because of our winning the meet. Twenty-eight schools were entered, the largest meet held thus far. Streator scored 58 points, with Henry placing second with 40 points. The other teams trailed far behind. The Gateway Classic held at Clinton, Iowa, May 3, was the next destination for the track team. Streator fared well, taking a fifth in the meet. Greenwood took a first and second in the dashes. Coach Brix and his men have several meets yet to attend and according to their present form they should place well among the leaders in each. Among the outstanding men on the track squad this year were Co-Captains Greenwood and Woodward, Powell, Elbert Gragg, Jones, Hein, G. Gragg, and Schall- hammer. Nineteen schools were entered in the District Track Meet at La Salle, May 10th. Streator easily walked away with first place. Of the five records broken in this meet, three belong to Streator: Greenwood in the 220, Powell in the low hurdlesg and Woodward, Powell, Schallhammer, and Greenwood in the half-mile relay.

The Seniors were undefeated in the three games played, thus being declared champions, with the rest of the teams trailing along. The teams this year were a bit more evenly matched than in previous years, and many hard fought games were played. Mr. Bland ofiiciated at all games. Large crowds of students witnessed the games, each rooting for his respective team. CG7ennis Cfdieam There will be no tennis team to represent Streator in the Illinois Valley meet this year, due to the fact that the students showed lack of interest in the sport. Golf CC'5eam The Illinois Valley Golf tournament will be played at the Ot- tawa Country Club, May 25.

I lfl- xfiggtiir'- Qirls' dlthletics Miss Rebecca Weinstein, who comes from the University of Illinois, and who has been supervisor of girls' athletics for the past two years, has competently coached and advised the G. A. A. until it has become one of the finest organiza- tions in the school. We know it will continue to grow bigger and better under her skillful guidance. 'Pageant 'Program The Second Swimming Pageant given by the girls' swimming classes, and directed by Miss Weinstein, was a novel and successful event. It was given on the night of ' March 20 at the High School Pool. CGM 'Princess Learns to Swim Scene The pool represents the lake, at one end of which is the palace garden of Ferdinand, King of the Land of the Lakes. Act I. The princess cannot swim and her pages play at gold- fishing while the King discusses her education. She falls into the lake and is saved by one of the teachers, who is a Junior Red Cross Life Saver. The King then orders a great swimming festival to emphasize the value of swimming. . Act II. This scene opens with the swimming festival. First the Princess' little friends, the children, come out to dance and play for her. A teacher of each of the four strokes is announced by the Herald to teach the princess to swim. Each student teacher then puts the little princess through the technique of the land drill in the crawl, side, back, and breast strokes, demonstrating each stroke with the best possible form in the water. But the princess is still afraid and refuses to go into the water with them. The Court Jester then amuses the princess. MISS WEINSTEIN Act III. This scene opens with the princess sadly roaming the woods alone, unhappy because she is afraid to go into the water. Finally the Queen of the Nymphs beckons and entices the princess into the water and teaches her how to swim by playing games.

Besides teaching life saving once a week to the high school girls, she also took over a class of grade school girls. Under her skillful guidance the girls were coached until, late in the year, when they were ready to take the life saving test. Life ,Saving The girls who passed the Junior test were Florence Morse, Evelyn Green, Vera Green, Marion Moore, Ruth Sowden, Lucinda McCauley, Carolyn Ryan. Those passing the Senior test were Dorothy Dawson, Maxine Grant, and Madelyn McDowell. Q. 04. CA. The Girls' Athletic Association began its yearly activities in the early part of the first semester. Oficers elected were Dorothy Dawson, President, Madelyn McDowell. Vice-President, Wilda Johnson, Secretary, and Louise Conner, Treasurer. The G. A. A. was active in all sports: soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and swimming. The girls received their numerals last year with 600 points. This year they worked twice as hard and earned their block letter S with 1200 points. The girls who will receive their numerals are Marion Reeder, Sophomore, Elsa Schurman, Senior, those who will receive their letter are Wilda Johnson, Senior, Dorothy Dawson, Senior, Madelyn McDowell, Senior, Mildred Connor, Junior, and Leona Plesko, Junior. Play day this year was held in Pontiac on November 2. with twenty girls from Streator participating in the many indoor sports offered. The Second Play Day was held in Ottawa on May 17. The twenty Streator girls and those entered from the surrounding towns were divided into two teams which competed against each other. Many sports were sponsored in which our girls gave a fine showing. On February 27, the second annual telegraphic meet was sponsored by the Illinois League Association in the High School gym. Winners in this district were Marseilles, first, Wheaton, second, and Morris, third. Although Streator did not place, the girls did, very well. Ada Simpson was high scorer with eight baskets out of twenty-one. Miss Weinstein represented Streator at the annual I. L. H. S. G. A. A. meeting held this year at Urbana, Illinois, November 22. The League members decided that all members who cared to, were to buy G. A. A. pins, a miniature outline of Illinois in blue and white with the initials G. A. A. diagonally written on the front. Many girls bought the pin, which identifies them as members of the G. A. A. Page Seventy GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM Hopper, Vollmer, D. Tkach, Lightholder, Prendergast, Helm, Robinson, Mushro. Girls' fBasketball Tieam.. Inter-class basketball was again a heated contest this year. The Seniors were downed in a final game with the Sophomores, who were crowned champs of 1930. Class captains were Marion Reeder, Helen Lightholder, Mildred Conner, and Wilda Johnson. Madelyn McDowell was manager. These girls' basketball teams have proved to be of great benefit to the girls participating. These teams not only promote the health of the girls, but they also provide a stimulus for mental actuetiesg their recreational value is also unlimited. By providing this supervised play in the gym- nasium, the best qualities in each girl are brought forward and their time and energies are spent in constructive, body-building work and play. Friendly rivalry has aroused a keen but pleasant conpetition which has brought out the desire to excel in various forms of athletics without producing jealousy or ill-feeling of any kind. The varied nature of the G. A. A. activities give opportunity for a large proportion of the girls in high school to have some kind of athletic exercise which is so beneficial to all young people. iBaseball The girls' baseball season began the last of April and continued until the last of May when a tournament was held. No class captains were chosen, but Madelyn McDowell was elected manager. Many spirited contests took place and much pleasure and exercise were derived from the games.

Qlee Hubs The Streator Township High School Glee Clubs were organized early in the year under the direction of Miss Lanigan. From the general membership several clubs were formed: the Girls' Glee Club, the Boys' Glee Club, and also the Mixed Glee Club in which are enrolled members of the various clubs possessing the most promising voices. The course of study pursued includes selections chosen from both the classic and modern types of music. The clubs have made frequent public appearances on programs connected with the activities of the school as well as those of the community.

Glee Glubs An honor bestowed indirectly upon the Glee Club came when one of its members, Harold Kent, was selected to sing with the National High School Chorus before the Music Supervision Convention in Chicago. The delightful part of it was that young people came from the majority of states in the Union. The quota of basses from Illinois was two, and Harold Kent had the honor of being one of them. At the March meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution held at the home of the Regent, Mrs. John R. Fornof, the mixed Glee Club gave a very delightful concert. They were very enthusiastically received. On May 8, the Rotary Club was pleased to hear them sing at their weekly luncheon. On May 13, the Junior Women's Club enjoyed several numbers by the Glee Club. Miss Lanigan is the director of these young people and has inspired them to work hard. As has been the custom in previous years, the Mixed Glee Club will appear at the Baccalaureate Services preceding graduation. The anthem, The Silent Sea, one of the numbers to be presented by them, is particu- larly beautiful, having a solo part for a soprano voice which will be sung by Audrey Prendergast, and another for baritone which will be sung by Harold Kent.

Isaac Mason Each year the Streator High School Kiwanis Band plays a more important part in the school activities in Streator and the surrounding vicinities. Mr. Gerald H. Stambaugh, the director, has created interest in the band by adding new instruments, such as two French horns, two piccolos, one oboe, one bassoon, and one flute. Great impetus was given the band when Mr. Stambaugh entered the band in the Northwestern Sectional Contest at Rockford. This was the first time that Streator has ever been entered in a band contest. Freeport won first, De Kalb second. Streator and Rockford were both very close for third place but Rockford finally Won. The band appeared at all the home football games and sometimes went with the team out of town. Likewise the band was present at all the basketball games and also at all of the American Legion Boxing Matches. They made the first appearance of the season at the Harvest Home Festival at Lostant. They later played for a pageant at Granville. A Santa Claus parade, sponsored by the Streator Chamber -of Commerce, was led by the band. March fifth, at the annual spring opening, the band played an important part. During the Publix Pageant of Progress, the band gave a short concert on Main Street. Streator was represented at the Wesleyan Contest at Bloomington, April 26. In the brass, Thomas Blakemore won first place, and John Marshall third place. May third, Mr. Stambaugh entered Melva Ranger and Lorene Kelly in the Jacksonville Scholarship Contest at Jacksonville, Illinois. Lorene won second place in the violin, and Melva placed third in piano. On December 4, 1929, the fourth annual dinner dance was held. The season was successfully closed on May 16, with the parade for the U. C. T. organization of Streator. The music used this year was of a more difficult grade than ever used before. The type of music used was mainly heavy symphonic opera numbers. Page Seventy N SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA l lllS'l' ROW K1-lly, Howl, Sophcr.

Most of the members of the orchestra were also in the band. This year two pianos were used and a high grade of music was played, particularly symphonic arrangements. Mr. Gerald H. Stambaugh is planning to make this orchestra one of the outstanding orchestras of the State of Illinois. Next year he plans to add at least fifteen or twenty violins. As interest has been aroused in the Scholarship Contests held by the different colleges, more students will take up orchestra work. New orchestral instruments will be added next fallg such as, large bass violins, cellos, violas, and flutes. The result of this year's work has been most gratifying. lugs Eighty THESPIANS FIRST ROW-Victoria Rozak, Dolores Sandry, Elizabeth Baucle, Roberta Holmes, Marjorie Grosh, Maxine Grant, Cecelia Aschinger, Gwendolyn Oakman, Elizabeth Fornof, Maxine Shepard, Mildred Baar, Allen Woodward.

M arjorie Grosh The Thespians is the continuation of a Dramatic Club organized three years ago. They plan to petition the national body for membership. The aim of the club is to promote research work in the study of plays, play- wrights, actors, and actresses, both of the present and of the past. As a project, it is the aim to promote one or two dramatic successes each year. This year the club successfully promoted a play called Cock Robin, given by the Northwestern University Players. These are a group of young people, who, in order to acquire the experience necessary for graduation from the School of Speech of Northwestern University, give this play at various schools in the northern section of the state. Streator was very fortunate to be included in their itinerary. The play was received by capacity audiences at both performances, given in the Streator High School gymnasium, March 17. In the afternoon the graded schools were dismissed in order to let the pupils witness the play. The evening presentation was open to the older pupils and townspeople. Performances of this character are not only interesting, but also inspiring to young people who wish later in life to enter into work of a similar nature.

It was formed chiefly to increase interest in biology and to bring the students closer together socially. The first party was sponsored March 11, with Miss Wittman as hostess. It was a very enjoyable affair being held in the large rooms of Miss Castelli's studio. Immediately after the Easter week-end, Elsie Bengston entertained the club in her home. The past autumn and this spring, the members of the club have taken numerous trips to the Covered Bridge, the Bottoms along the Vermillion River, and even to No Man's Land back of the Brick Works for biological specimens. The Biology club's entertainment committee is planning various weiner roasts and steak fries along the Vermillion River before the school term week-ends are tinished. Miss Wittman as sponsor, had done much to create an interest in biology, not only within the club, but also among the members of the student body.

Several of the boys are working with the Department of Commerce in erecting the beacon light and boundary lights of Streator's new airport. Work is being done on finding the resistance, lift, and drag of various airfoils in the school wind tunnel. The students have also experimented in developing, printing, and enlarging pictures. The boys are anticipating making some upper air observations later this spring, using instruments constructed by members of the club.

Meetings in the Modern Language Club Rooms were held, once a month, since the first semester. The programs proved to be very interesting as special stress was given to the study of Spanish life as compared with that of South America. Throughout the year, Spanish plays from Piececitas Espanolas were read. In La Nina Mendiga y la Senora, Jane Falkenstein interpreted the character of La Mendiga and Audrey Prendergast that of La Senora. Beaumarchais' El Barbero de Sevilla was given by Edna Hall as Rosina and Nueva was cleverly read by Dolores Sandry as La Senora and Lorene Kelly as La Criada. Another short sketch Un Regalo de Cumpleanas, was given by Oscar Lorenz as El Senor while Lillian Thomas and Helen Stogdill were Las Senoritas. Louise Tejeda gave several splendid reports which are mentioned, Las Cuentos de la Andalucia Romantica, Las Bailes de Andalucia and La Feria de Sevilla. William Phelan gave a report on Sevilla mas espanola que Espana, while Rosie Mushro contributed an interesting number on the By Paths of Spain. In this way the students were able to become more familiar with the various dialects in picturesque Spain. The last club of the year was based on the April issue of the Etude Magazine in which the most important of Spanish composers were studied. Regular reports were given from the Spanish weekly magazine, Blanco y Nejro . Many of the advanced students took advantage of the opportunity to establish correspondence with their Castilian neighbors.

Although not a member of the Club, Thomas Larkin interviewed Richard Halliburton at the Book Section of the Marshall Field Store, Chicago, Illinois, and was fortunate to receive the autograph of the famous young author in New Worlds to Conquer, which text was donated to the library by the Club Members. New Members purchased the Club pin which is an oblong shape in silver upon which may be seen the traditional lion and castle, outlined in red and yellow enamel. The faculty members were entertained at a Tea, November 28, given by the Club in the Model Apartment. Edna Hall and Bernice Sass received the guests. Dainty refreshments were served by Dolores Sandry and Lorene Kelly. A Spring Fiasta was sponsored by the Club, together with the French club. The dancing party was held in the High School Gymnasium, March 28, which presented a most festive appearance. Red and yellow were the colors used in decorating. Spanish Shawls and shields were artistically placed along the balconies. Elizabeth Dyas was chairman of the decoration committee, assisted by John Bradford, Edna Hall, Frank Novak, Oscar Lorenz, William Phelan, Audrey Prendergast, John Schmidt, and Lillian Thomas. Much credit for the success of the dance is to be given to this group because of their helpful cooperation. Vogel's orchestra furnished the music.

Each club lesson dealt with some interesting or instructive phase of French life, people, or customs. At the December meeting, a charming French brochure, The Queen's Christmas, was read. This Christmas story with its quaint setting in the provinces gave an excellent word picture of medieval French life. Thomas Larkin favored the club with a splendid lecture on his European trip. featuring his visit in France and especially Paris. A popular part of the club activity was the exchange of personal letters between the advanced French students here and the French boys and girls. New members purchased the club pin which is a triangle with the fleur-de-lys insignia and the abbreviated forms of Liberte' Egalite' and Fraternitei Edith Wharton's book, French Ways and Their Meanings, was donated to the school library by the club. The annual spring Fete was given in conjunction with the Spanish Club in the High School Gymnasium, March 28. The music was furnished by Vogel's orchestra.

At the beginning of the year programs were distributed among all the members, showing in advance the chairmen and other participants for each month. The meetings were held in the evening the second Thursday of every month. The consuls alternated in taking charge of the meetings. The first program consisted of the initiation of new members. The rest of the meetings were given over to a study of Roman life and customs. The following covers a part of the topics discussed: The Saturnalie, which included a play and Christmas partyg the Roman Calendarg St. Valentine's Day as a Roman and modern observanceg Julius Caesar, as a man and in historyg and the history of Rome. Usually a social time followed the study hour. This year, Latin Club pins were selected for the first time. and bought by nearly all of the members.

Scrilablers' Glulv The Scribblers' Club, an outgrowth of the English Club, was the latest English club organized. It has been different in many respects from other clubs, especially in the fact that no officers were elected. It was organized under the leadership of Mrs. Howells, head of the English department. Only a select group of juniors and seniors, who are very much interested in writing belong to this club, and all the English teachers together with Miss Miller, reader of themes, help with the work. The aim of the Club has been to study various types of poetry and prose, and thereby to obtain some original work from the students. The meetings were held each Monday noon from twelve to one, and one of the faculty members of the club took charge. Poetry was chiefly studied. Scansion, types of poetry, and expression were all thoroughly studied. Some meetings were devoted to criticising original poems of the various pupils. It is hoped that this club will be the root of an annual organization to promote interest in writing. The faculty members who have had charge of meetings were Mrs. Howells, Mr. Koenig, Mr. Simison, and Miss Pellouchoud. Thursday, May 10, the members of the club enjoyed a delicious luncheon given at the home of Mrs. Howells. Beautifully appointed tables and a profusion of spring flowers added much to the pleasure of the occasion. A clever program of musical numbers, readings, and stunts completed a year of happy and useful work. iz Eighty-Eight FIRST ROW-Coach Brix. Grace Rawls, Gwendolyn Oakman, Elizabeth Fornof.

Cedric Gunther These plays were very well received at all performances. They brought into light much talent from which was chosen the cast for the Senior Class Play presented June 3 at the Plumb Theatre. The Goose Hangs High was the play offered by the Seniors. Although only a limited number can act in the play during commencement week, the opportunity given earlier in the year through the Senior Dramatics Club afforded try-outs for many in the class. This work is very interesting and enjoyable both to participants and members of the school who care to attend the performances. SYNOPSIS OF THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH This is one of the most successful plays of recent times. It is a comedy by Lewis Beach, portraying with great good humor and truth the efforts of a modern family to adjust themselves to difficult circumstances. The thirteen players, every one of them a distinct type, present an excellent opportunity for character portrayal. The loving father and mother, the seemingly irresponsible twin son and daughter, granny, who is an aristocrat through and through, but who misunderstands the modern generation, these are only a few of the cast. The scene is laid in the Ingals' living room two days before Christmas. Mr. and Mrs. Ingals are sorrowing over the fact that their elder son, Hugh, is not coming home for the holidays. There is a commotion in the hall. Hugh appears. He has changed his plans and has come after all. Soon the twins, Bradley and Lois, rush into the room loaded down with grips and bundles. They have surprised the family by arriving home from college a day sooner than planned. The young folks seem more glad to see the dog than they are to see their parents. They immediately make plans for spending that evening away from home. Granny is thoroughly disgusted with them. The next day, Mr. Ingals receives a visit from his employer Elliot Kimberley, who insults him. In a moment of rage, Mr. Ingals resigns his position, and then, in a cooler moment, regrets his rash deed. The children find out what has happened, and show their loyalty and love for their parents by leaving college and getting jobs so that they can support themselves. Through Granny's influence, Mr. Ingals is made a partner in a market gardener's business. Granny is convinced that the modern generation, though outwardly iiippant, in a crisis shows true qualities,- faithful loyalty and sincere willingness to shoulder responsibility.

GEAIIHIEBNIDAIIRQ SEPTEMBER 3. Well, began my fourth year at dear old Alma Mater today. Of course, being a Senior, I feel pretty wise. Was quite taken aback when a Freshie came up to me and asked me if I taught anything besides Science. I was dumbfounded, but later learned that Burton Baskin had convinced her I was a new Science teacher. Wonder if I look that old? 5. Fifteen minute classes today. I didn't go to half of my classes though as I had a big time sending freshies up to the band room. 8. First day of studying today. Have a full program. Haven't any time to study all of it. Think I'll drop gym. There are enough dumbbells in the gym. I'm not needed there, too! 10. First football practice. I went out to see the practice, but it looked so silly to me I came home. All they did was kick the ball and run and fall on it. I could do that, too. Wonder why they don't have a girl's team? 24. Scribblers' Club was organized today. I Wanted to join, but Mrs. Howells wouldn't let me. She said only those especially talented could join. I don't see why I couldn't. I bet I can scribble just as good as any of them. 25. First glee club practice today. I asked Miss Lanigan what I sang this year. She said, Horrible! OCTOBER 11. No school. Teachers' Institute. Don't know what it is, but I hope there is another one soon. Football game with Ottawa. I didn't go because I think it's such a simple game. I heard somebody say Gragg ran seventy-one yards to a touchdown. I don't see what's so wonderful about that. I could run that far, and look a lot classier, too. 18. Senior class was organized today. That red-headed boy, Oscar Lorenz, is president again. Think I'll dye my hair red and maybe I can be president of sumthin'! Freshie Mixer tonight. Everybody has to pay except the Freshies. I don't think I'll go. They might ask me to help unmix them. I couldn't do that. It would be like trying to pick out Page Ninety-Th .. .... . W-- rg' I --.- . , ,. HN., ,,,f- . 1 ' l !...L 'W ,,, 4' 5, QB- Q J. I X ., 'N-...- Mother's Darling from a bunch of new babies down at St. Mary's Hospital. 25. Homecoming! We won another football game. I didn't go because I'm going to the dance tonight and would be too tired. The dance was great. I danced with some Seniors. I must be getting to be a good dancer because John Marshall said I danced lighter on his feet than any of the other girls. NOVEMBER 2. First night game. We lost the game to Kankakee. I bet the boys saw those bright lights and got scared. Maybe if the lights were turned out, the lads could play better. 7. French Club was organized in Study D. I went up thinking I might join. A senior met me at the door and said, Parlez-vous Francais ? I said, I dunno. So she wou1dn't let me in. 11. No school. I don't know who this man Armistice was, but he must have been as important as Lincoln or Washington because we celebrated the day as a holiday. 14. Senior Dramatics Club was organized today. I had to write a test so couldn't go. Maybe if I had gone, I would have been elected President because that Bargreen girl got to be President and her hair's not red! 18. L. J. Ebert gave an illustrated lecture on airway and airplanes to the Chemistry and Physics classes. It left me kind of up in the air. Maybe I'll be an aviatrix. On second thought though, I guess I won't because my hair is too straight. Only curly-headed dames can dally around in those damp clouds. 21. The Spanish Club gave a tea or somethin' today. I couldn't go because I don't take Spanish but if I get a permanent and decide to become an aviatrix, I won't care about teas anyhow. 25. Prof. told us we could sign up for basketball tickets today. Ma told me if I worked hard, she would give me the money. I want my seat in the Howls of the 100 or whatever you call it, if I can get it. 27. Senior class party tonight. Pa made me stay home and practice on my accordion because he wants me to play in the band sometime. 29. The teachers picked out the Hardscrabble staff today. Betty Fornof is the editor. Charles Kershaw told me it was because she could talk and debate so well and was experienced in literary work. The other night my pop told me I talked too much and I guess I've had plenty of experience scribbling and talking too. Look at the time I was in the street trying to cross between cars that were whizzing by. I bet you could have heard my voice a mile away. - DECEMBER 4. George Elias gave a lecture on some kind of Wailing Wall of Jerusalem. I didn't go because it cost ten cents and I thought a strawberry soda would do me more good than to listen to some rehash N inety-Four about tears. Gosh, there are enough tears in life without paying to hear about 'emi 3. Chemistry skating party tonite, but I didn't go 'cause I can't skate. Kennie Schubert told me if I'd bring my sled, he'd pull me but I didn't want to be a bother to him because I know he'd lots rather pull Lauris around on her sled. 5. Band and Orchestra Dinner Dance tonite. I wish I was going but I heard someone say today that they'd probably eat till they burst. I remember ma telling me about a little boy whose mother told him if he ate another piece of pie he'd burst, and he told everyone to get away and to bring on the pie. I don't think I'd like to do that, so I guess I'll stay home. 9. I bought my basketball ticket today. Ma said I keep her broke with dues and everythin'. Wish we were rich and then she wou1dn't say anythin'. 10. The first basketball game was at Morris tonight. I got a ride over with our neighbors and when I gave them my ticket at the door, they said it wasn't any good. I didn't see why it wasn't, but anyway Kimball Doran paid my way in as I didn't have any money, and he told me that my ticket was good only for Streator games. I don't know what he meant cause that was a Streator game but anyway he's awfully nice. 12. The football boys got a big meal tonight. That fat Linder boy was elected Captain for the next year. 13. Junior Dance. I went for awhile but didn't have a good time so I came home. I heard that Aschinger girl say it was a keen party. She wouldg she's a Junior. 16. Juniors selected their pins and rings today. I'll bet they won't be as nice as ours. - 18. Xmas vacation begins. Whoopee! JANUARY 2. Started back to school today. 13. Took my first two exams. Wonder what ma and pa will say when they see my grades? 27. Prof. Waldrip slipped on the ice this morning and bumped himself on the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Bloomington Streets. Wonder if he'1l be to school the rest of the week? Sure hope neurology doesn't set in or he might be lame for life. FEBRUARY 19. Some kind of a bug or flower club was organized today. I think they call it a biology club. 24. Went to bed early last night. Got up feeling bum 5 slipped on a piece of soap and went to breakfast. Page Ninety F1 MARCH 5. Dr. C. W. Kent spoke about twenty minutes on assembly platform this morning, and when he got excited he threw money on the floor. Wonder if he always does that? Maybe that's why Harold takes Betty so many places. 17. No school this afternoon: the Northwestern Players put on a play this afternoon and tonight. It was great. I couldn't hear much except the noise the graded school children made! 20. There was something going on in the swimming pool tonight. I think they called it a pageant. Lots of girls were there splashing around and hollering for help or sumpthin'. Glad I wasn't there cause I'm so sympathetic I'd have jumped right in, and then what would my new dress have looked like? 21. The sophomores gave their dance tonite. There were snakes and green hats and things like that all over the gym in honor of St Patrick's day. I'm not Irish, so I didn't get much of a kick out of it. 24. We selected our invitations today. I thought they were for some party or somethin' but Yvonne Sipe told me they were for some kind of Commencement. I guess they're gonna start somethin'. 28. Spring vacation. No school till April 7th, Why isn't there more than one Spring? APRIL 22. The ten cents I saved up for a soda I spent tonite for the Dramatic and Glee Club Recital. It was a howling success. 28. The debating team won from Marseilles tonite. I didn't hear it though for I was too busy looking thru the crack in the gym door at the Juniors practicing their vodvil. MAY 1 and 2. The Junior Vodvil sure was a circus! I thought I was really at a circus with all those animals crawling around and the band playing. The Master of Ceremonies, Bill Trapp, certainly knew how to run the show, and the choruses knew how to dance. That Brown girl sang a jungle song. I don't know whether that's her name or they called her that because she was so brown. Harold Kent as a rag-a-muflin Romeo made a hit with the audience. When those animals growled, I sure got scared but I wouldn't let anyone know for they'd think I was an awful scardy-calf. 8. The Junior Vodvil picnic. The cast of the vodvil held a picnic at Starved Rock. Somebody took most of the eats! Wonder who did it? The Scribbling Club had a luncheon this afternoon but from what I heard of the eats, I'd call it a banquet. 9. Freshmen Party! The gym was a mass of colors and they had a real honest-to-goodness rainbow. I think the Freshies are to be congratulated, if you know what I mean. gf Ninety-Six f:-1fffffwmfwr-- Y - Lf -1.N7W3sz4Fev5a-i:1vfmgfgflw-g W3 4 ffl 'f i?g , xx ' ,ggi A .5,L,,,g.aW6-'f,'z 1:14 .Q-H. ,gs if f k ' M3551 wwf ff 9 1 .

The Geometry and Type Classes had a picnic tonight after school. I hope never to see so many sandwiches and eggs again in my life. Bet everybody dreams of angles and parallelograms or some other nightmarish stuff. 14. Mr. Simison's English classes went to the Rock for a picnic this afternoon. Gosh! wouldn't it be fun if school wuz like this all year? 15. The Band and Orchestra went on a picnic to Starved Rock this afternoon. Mr. Simison went too to help Mr. Stambaugh look after those windy instrumenters. The clouds look glowerin' or whatever it is. Hope the kids don't get wet. 21. The Thespians and Glee Clubs held a joint picnic at Illini Beach. Were those steaks good? Oh, boy! A student orchestra furnished the music for the gallopin' hundreds who thundered over the dance Hoor like nobody's business. Home-reading Reviews. I wish I knew who got up that idea. Whoever it was should ought to be shot in the neck till dead. 22. Mrs. Howells' English classes have been working like mad on semester theme papers. It's on something about Our English valuables or somethin'. Gee, those kids have to write lots. They should ought to be fine writers in about three or four years more. JUNE 1. Tonite was Baccalaureate! Gee I was so nervous! I couldn't sing but I kept opening and shutting my mouth so people wouldn't know but what I was as good as any of 'em. 3. The Senior Play! The name was the Goose Hangs High. It was surely real good. All the players took their part real well and everyone enjoyed it. I came away feeling as if I'd had a good talking to, for it had a good moral. No use being a goose! 4. Senior Class night and a big fight! All over a silly flag too. Boys are funny that way! Just because the Seniors flashed their colors, the Juniors got all hot and bothered. Thank heavens the Prom's over! It will be all right for a few Seniors to appear at the picnic with black eyes but a lot of Juniors would not have looked so good at the Prom. 5. Senior Picnic! Oh boy-was I full! I never want to see another sandwich or pickle as long as I live. But the picnic was a huge success, cause nobody leaped off of Lover's Leap. Everybody ran for the canyons! Whaddya suppose makes them so intriguing? 6. Commencement. Well tonite ended my school days. I think it's a lot of bunk to go to school for four years just to get a piece of paper with some writing on it, but I guess it means a lot. Anyway, I wish I was going back next year. Business of slow curtain-Senior Class bows, smiles, and exits!

The rudder of our airplane, humor, has its place in school life as in all life. Its function is to keep the plane and its passengers working ever toward the goal,-the acquirement of knowledge and good citizenship. Without humor, we soon should become discouraged, dissatisfied,- grumpy, losing our faith in ourselves and each other. Surely, A gift of humor is a gift of the gods.

GELAJEID lll9llR1Dlll3llfllllIEE1I2f'M cfl 'Dream flkalized Our plans were finished! The huge airplane was chartered and in complete readiness for the trip around the world to collect the scattered class of 30 . Oscar Lorenz and his wife, who was formerly Virginia Nelson, were the instigators of the trip. Oscar, you know, is Secretary of the Navy. We decided to start from Streator's modern airport, in which the Meteorological Club of 30 had been so interested. The huge airplane was in charge of Edwin Cook. Thomas Blakemore assisted him in operating the plane. Just as we were about to start, another plane, doing breathtaking stunts came into view. Suddenly it made a graceful landing amid our cheers. Imagine our surprise when we discovered the aviatrix to be Dorothy Dawson. It took much time to persuade her to join usg she always was so shy and bashful. After we had started, we found that the storeroom was about four hundred pounds overweight. Upon investigation, we discovered that there were two stowaways-Ralph Brown and Cedric Gunther. Ralph, of course, accounted for about three-fourths of the overweight. He explained that to be fashionable, an airplane must have at least one stowaway, so these thoughtful lads had decided to help with the required tonnage. They always were so kind and considerate, you remember. At New York City we were joined by a group of classmates. Then came the trip over the Atlantic! Jack Howard and Kimball Doran entertained with thrilling stunts upon the wings of the plane, Grace Rawls was persuaded to give us a reading, and an octette, consisting of Lucile Stonecipher, Irene Noon, Agnes North, Louise Sullivan, Leona Wahl, Eunice Werner, Elizabeth Harty, and Ione Leese sang several songs. Then refreshments were served by Catherine Frankland and Mary Broderick, charming hostesses. Suddenly it grew dark. The lightning zig-zagged across the black sky, and the thunder crashed at each new streak. The passengers began to grow hysterical, and Helen Lorey fainted. The plane could make no headway, merely being pushed by the angry winds. All were by now thoroughly frightened. Their fears were soon quieted by Mertz Rawls, Isaac Mason, and William Patton, newly ordained ministers, who prayed earnestly for Divine guidance. Gradually the velocity of the wind decreased, and the storm clouds faded away. Suddenly land was sighted and then there came to all of us the sickening realization that we were falling. There was a crash, then quiet, and then frantic cries. Only a few were hurtg namely, Harold Alderson, Dorothy Duis, Evelyn Dulian, and Emily Adams. Their Page One Hundred F wounds, however, were soon bandaged by Frank Kozak and Sidney Robertson, able physicians. We decided to make the best of our plight, and inspected the grounds. We found that we were in a level green spot surrounded by enormous trees. N,o one felt secure in a strange land with no weapons. We noticed that Walter Ratzman, one of our party, had been working with a small device which he held in his hand. He soon informed us that we were in the wildest part of Africa. Of course this didn't aid us in feeling any safer, as you can imagine. . Suddenly, without warning, we were surrounded by a group of ferocious-looking men, apparently native savages. There was something civilized and familiar about them though, and we gazed upon them fixedly. Scrutinizing one closely, we found that it was Ivan Held, our classmate. The only difference in him was the color of his hair, which was now raven black. He recognized us, and told us that the rest of his troop consisted of Clyde Baker, Hugh Brown, Tedd Coppin, Howard McFadden, Elmer Schneider, and Donald Schaefer. They told us that years ago they had started upon a similar task, that of gathering the class, and had been shipwrecked just after this group had been collected. They said they had built up a city and it was so perfect that they had decided to tell no one but classmates of it. Ivan said that they would take us to their city, and so we started. While we were yet a mile away, we could see enormous buildings. As we came closer, our eyes were fairly dazzled with the scene. Every- thing was different, almost queer. The people on the roads seemed to move, but didn't seem to walk. We rubbed our eyes in amazement. Ivan explained that on the bottom of each shoe were very minute wheels, and by pressing a button connected with the wheel, one could move as if one were on roller skates. He told us that this was the invention of Tedd Coppin, who, because of dislike for walking, had set to work in an effort to help himself. At the entrance of a large building we paused. We were told that this was a general meeting place, and soon we were all seated comfortably inside. Someone pressed a button which was on the arm of a chair. Immediately, as if by magic, the right arm of each chair widened, and upon being told to press another button, we saw that from underneath the arm, a tea cup, saucer, plate, sandwiches, and cookies appeared. We were told that the whole population would be present in about an hour to greet us. In the meantime we were to rest and clean up. Just as we were about to ask where to go, two girls came in, and we recognized them as Hildegarde Drinan and Gretchen Defenbaugh. They were the chief housekeepers and caretakers. They showed us into rooms where We could lie down. P ge One Hundred Six All of us, in that hour, pondered over the peculiar place this seemed to be. How could there be such a busy city with only a part of our class, as Ivan had said? How did some things appear like magic? Why had some people changed so? Indeed, so anxious were we that soon we fell asleep. Suddenly we were awakened by our beds. Impossible? Not at all. They began to move and shake which naturally awoke us. We hurriedly washed and then Leon Estock, who had been investigating everything, told us to stand on a large rug. Immediately it began to carry us into the dining hall. A long table, filled with food, was in the center of the room. We were then greeted by our old classmates. Ralph Hart, who seemed to be their acknowledged leader, sat at the head of the table. We all sat down and ate a most delicious meal. Spoofle then began to make introductions, explanations, and jokes. First, he presented Homer Shelby and Wesley Neff, who had invented a machine to control the weather. Just then Homer pressed a button, and glancing outside, we saw rain falling. Then another button was pressed which brought out the sun. Wesley explained that they kept the sun shining most of the time because the sun's rays was the source of energy used in factories and for fuel, power, electric light, etc. The extraction of the sun's energy from the light rays was the work of Walter Dixon, Donald Cripe, Kenneth Schubert, Garth Teas, and Robert Lloyd. These boys were always interested in science. The beautiful homes were the planning and results of the work of Edward Devine, Merle Rhodes, Maxwell Hepner, and Lawrence Whalen. The interior decorating and landscaping were done by Lola Porter, Margaret Mogee, and Lucille Holliday. We visited one of the homes, this certain one being the property of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Larkin. Mr. Larkin had just finished writing a history book for everyone's general good. Mrs. Larkin, as you all surmise, was Dorothy Boys. Upon entering their kitchen, we were at once attracted to a large cupboard. All over the face of this cupboard were buttons. One was marked Bread , another Meats , another Candy , and so on. Tom explained that upon pressing these buttons, the particular article would appear. He explained that the buttons for desserts, candies, jellies, and fruits were at the top, so their children could not reach them. We also stopped at the home of Ralph Killifer and his wife. Ralph and Beryl conduct a flower conservatory. Their children came in, looking like flowers themselves. We next stopped at a large home where a group of teachers lived. Bernice Sass teaches artg Melva Ranger, music, Marjorie Grosh, American History, Bertha Helander, mathematicsg Gertrude Bliss, English, Elsie Bengston, science, and Marion Burns, home economics. We also visited at the home of Pauline Breimer-Wilkes. She said that, as chairman of recreation, she would arrange a program for us the following day.

This was due to the discovery of the fountain of youth, by Seraphin Renn, Ralph Sansom, and Jack Tassick. We received a big surprise when Edwin Cook and Elsa Schurman announced their marriage. We found that the city's newspaper, The Hoo Hoo, was edited by Betty Fornof. She always did like newspapers and bass singers-especially one bass singer. The automobiles used by the people of the community were the work of Allen Woodward and Charles Richards. They informed us that their cars could go a thousand an hour! Leon Estock secretly told us that they meant one thousand feet an hour. Of course we believed him! Mrs. Katherine Bargreen-Mitchell, always popular, was not home when we called. Madeline McDowell and Wilda Johnson operate a gymnasium for reducing. Because the people do scarcely anything but mental HJ work, there is a tendency to grow stout. But a few minutes' gym work every day keeps them healthy and trim. We were informed that a group was doing missionary work among the cannibals and head hunters. Among them were Margaret Henne, Edna Hall, Edith Messersmith, Gordon Dorsch, Howard Mathis, and Perry Gardener. Sarah Friedman wrote stories, folklore, and fiction for grown-ups and children alike. Some of her stories appear in the Hoo Hoo magazine, which is published by Roy Kates. Robert Mull is the cartoonist for the magazine, Gwendolyn Oakman, the society editorg and Eunice Kramer, the household editor. We found that John Marshall and his wife, who was formerly Maxine Grant, resided here. Johnny operates a Ford Garage. He and his wife were also new-comers to the city. Don Wilkes operates a drugstore next to the garage. Augusta Smith runs a confectionery store. Inez Moore-Pace was too busy with her household duties to do entertaining. The Tip Top restaurant wa.s owned by Mary Bushong and Elizabeth Dyas. Ruth Beard, Lucille Tkach, Helen Stogdill, and Beatrice Abbot are secretaries in the Hoo Hoo Food Corporation. This company makes deli- cious pies, cakes, cookies, candy, ice cream, and other delicacies. The company is owned by William Schallhammer, John Cain, and Glenn Clayton. These boys always liked sweets, especially during basketball training season. By a complex process, the sap from trees was refined and made into synthetic meat. It was practically impossible to tell the artificial meat from the real meat. The corporation making this is operated by Louis Warren and Frank Woolford. Pale One Hundred Eight Lauretta Coffey and Charles Kershaw are the favorite actress and actor of the group. Their acting greatly surpasses that of the favorites during high school days. Frances Sauer designs the fashions for the women here. Her imagination is very much in evidence in the clothes designed. The magic lunch, which we had been puzzled about, was invented by Catherine Benstine and Margaret Causland. Marge always was fond of mechanical devices, and chemistry was her hobby. After about a week's visit, Paul Hall, radio operator, said that the largest circus alive would stop there for a performance. The next day it came. The circus was owned by Wilson Crawford. We decided to visit the side show first. Here we were surprised to find Ralph Mohler, the tallest, thinnest man on exhibition in the world. The thinnest woman we found to be Helen Brown. Imagine our surprise when the fat lady turned out to be Mildred Gamble. She always was so stout and tall, if you remember. From the side show we entered the big tent hoping to meet other friends. First we noticed the orchestra. We found that John Robb played the trombone, Victoria Rozak and Audrey Teberg, clarinetsg Daniel Gay, cornetg Lorene Kelly, baritone, Roger Wheatland, violing and Lyle Kennedy, drums. The rest of the orchestra were strangers to us. Suddenly the curtain went up. A beautiful girl began to sing. As she came closer, we recognized her as Roberta Benallack. Then the solo dancers appeared. These proved to be Maxine Shepard, Yvonne Sipe, and Mildred Baar. They received much applause, especially from the gentlemen present. Then the dancing chorus came out. Scanning the faces closely, we recognized Arlene Kreier, Evelyn Law, Elma Jones, Veronica Corrigan, Dorothy Benckendorf, Alma Leitschuh, Marcella Mortland, Nathella Shoots, and Geraldine Murray. Then the snake charmer appeared to demonstrate her worth. She proved to be Pauline Antolik. We remembered when she charmed men as well as other dumb animals. All during the entertainment, the children were amused by a clown who proved to be Russel Ahearn. Then came the acrobats. We recognized the two superior ones as Ada Simpson and Marjorie Losey. The circus ended! All the performers who were formerly classmates met everyone. So fascinated were we by this magic city and its wonderful people, our dear old classmates, that it was the work of but a few moments for us to decide to make this our home, far from the haunts of struggling, restless, dissatisfied humanity!

I Page One Hundred Fifteen c7YCartha 'Mises The old woman's granddaughter paused in the cabin doorway to watch a bird building its nest in a tree. She held her heavy field hoe poised on her shoulder as she looked across the marshy land to where the mists were rising through the slanting sunlight of dawn. Martha Rose could hear someone coming up the river path toward the red clay road of the hill beyond the gorge. She turned her head, Granny, there's someone coming! she cried. The old woman replied gravely, 'Tis Mr. Garner. Old Haden Garner's boots thumped heavily on the steps of the porch. Howdy, Mr. Garner, greeted Martha Rose with cordiality in her face and voice. He nodded silently, his eyes slow and keen upon her. Her own gaze grew cool and steady. Her young head lifted until its dark braids were level with his brushy gray eyebrows. From the garden her grandmother approached wonderingly. Haden Garner strode forward imperiously, and the height and breadth of the cabin doorway barely let his great body through. A motion of his head commanded them to follow. The women entered and, as he had done, selected chairs silently. Old Haden Garner set against the wall the rifle which he had been using for hunting squirrels that morning. Deliberately he glanced about the room. He looked at the two beds, plump and smooth in their bright patch quilts. He looked at the spotless whitewashed walls, and the bone-white floors on which rag rugs lay. His eyes wandered to the clear panes of the window through which the mountain side was clearly visible. A smile of contemplative satisfaction dawned behind the heavy beard of his face. All these things meant toil, the sincere and loving toil of Martha Rose. Turning toward the waiting women, he saw the muddy smears his boots had made on the careful cleanliness of the floor, and the smile broadened. I was up to Miller County seat yestiddy, he began, and 'pears by law this here land on which yore cabin stands is mine. Aghast, the glances of the two women instinctively met. But we inherited it from Martha's father, the grandmother protested. You-all hold some title to it, old Haden Garner told her, but by law, all the land this side the cabin is mine. He smiled as he noted their deepening pallor. Then with studied ruthlessness he continued. I ain't g One Hundred Sixteen , aimin' to take advantage of you especially. I don't keer for the place. What I aim to do is to wed Martha Rose. I'm a widow-man twicet over. I have need of a woman. So has my house. And I reckon Martha Rose suits me mighty well. As for Granny, he went on, turning to the girl, I'll give her leave to bide here till she dies l Martha Rose said nothing. Haden Garner got to his feet. The parson will be along in two weeks and then I'll wed her, he told the grandmother. Then, jocularly, If you-all want fancy fixin's fer that weddin', you'd best come along up to my house and red it up. Eight months it's been a widow-man's house. It shorely looks it. And his departing bulk squeezed through the cabin door. Martha Rose stared after his great lumbering figure in a frightened horror that swiftly hardened into anger. Hands clenching, she turned to her grandmother. Granny, I can't marry him l she cried. I hate and despise him from the bottom of my soul ! Mebbe you won't need to, Martha, her grandmother mumbled. Good don't come of things like that. Mebbe he'll be struck down. Ten days had gone by since old Garner had announced at the supper table in his house that he aimed to get married again. The old woman's gal, he explained as he rose from the table. His two lazy sons, Bill and Jim, were pleased because it portended a relief from hated chores. Their forlorn hut stood hidden in dense forest. Unpainted it was, with a roof gaping as if from some storm. Wood patches half covered the windows. A straggling path led through high weeds to the house. Poorly furnished and dirty beyond words, it surely needed a. woman's care. I reckon you'd better set her to task this week, pa, Bill suggested, only three days till the weddin'. Have her clean out the hog-pen and hoe the garden, if we give the weddin' frolic. Two days passed, and yet no Martha Rose at Garner's. Old Haden Garner was irritable, for he had called on Martha Rose to remind her of the necessary cleaning. Bill and Jim were away squirrel hunting, and their tasks stood waiting for Martha Rose. Garner took the wood path that led to her house. It was a six-mile walk and the way was hedged by high bushes. Old Garner strode down the path with the heedlessness of habit and of anger, and his thoughts, slower than his feet, coiled themselves about the charming bloom of Martha Rose.

His eyes widened as the bullet ripped the leaves overhead. A second crack of the unseen rifle-a sharp impact of pain tore through his breast, and he fell. A few minutes later, his two sons came running to finish the deer they were so sure they had hit. They gasped in frightened horror as they saw that their prey was their own father, and fied pell-mell toward the distant thread of railroad winding through the valley. Later the coroner and sheriff came. The sheriff set out hunting for the boys, but they had disappeared. Granny and Martha Rose lived on together in the cabin. He was struck down, Granny insisted, whenever Garner's name was mentioned. -Sarah Friedman '30 Mr. Bland fin Commercial Geog- raphyjz This is not original- I'm quoting a man who knows what he's talking about.
