Chapman HE SENIOR O HIP T WNS FCREWORD INCE the school annual is one of the most vital and important school projects, it has always been the aim of each pre- ceding graduating class to publish a year boolc. This aim has been accomplished by each class since 1919. This boolc, the 1932 l-lardscrabble, was published under difficult circumstances. The members of the class of 1932 have displayed a great deal of deter- mination and initiative in publishing this volume. They have shown the same courage that is marlced in those men who set out to sea guided by mere canvas sails. staff presents this annual with the will not only preserve the records ol the that it will also recall the events, comrades of high school DEDICATION To Our Advisers- MRS.

Patterson Lincoln Bundy Harry Campbell STREATOR TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL 1 'wt is 'E .Jah HARDSCRABBLE l The School g The new Streator Town- ship High School was ded- icated in 192'6. It was built to accommodate one thousand students. This seemed un- necessary at that time, but the steadily increasing attend- ance justifies this decision. The enlarged enrollment has made it necessary to increase the number of members of the faculty from thirty-five to forty-two. These with a librarian, a reader of themes, a general secretary, an assist- ant secretary, and the prin- cipal, make forty-seven mem- bers in the administrative force. The six new members who filled the vacancies created by resignations of last year are: Mr. Broaddus, Miss Cadwell, Mr. Mulford, Miss Purcell, Miss Sexton, - and Miss Stinsley. PRINCIPAL w. D. WALDRII- The growth of the commercial department has been so marked that it has necessitated the addition of a new type room of which Miss Halsey has charge. In addition to bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic, commercial geography, typing, and shorthand, a course in comptometry has been introduced in the curriculum of this department. Although this course is not required for college entrance, it enables those mastering it to serve themselves and the community in the capacity of efiicient stenographers, typists, and bookkeepers. In the foreign language department one finds that Spanish, Latin, French, and German are offered. The study of a foreign language is valuable from both a pleasurable and a practical standpoint. In each class, interest in the countries in which the language is spoken is stimulated by the extensive study of foreign magazines and books. The English department, one of the largest in the school, offers three years of required work, and the electives of English literature and Special Senior English, a course which offers a review of previous work to those students wishing to go to college. Throughout the four years special attention is paid to the writing of themes. The manual arts department, which contains the following divisions. wood shop, mechanical drawing, machine shop, and printing, is of vital importance to the school in general. Tickets for all the athletic contests, absence pads, requisition pads, excuse pads, library reading permits, study hall blanks, and grade cards for use in the school office, are made in the Eleven Twelve HARDSCRABBLE school print shop. This department was among the largest in the school during the past year. . The art department is one of the busiest in the school. In connection with the regular work of this department, 175 posters were made during the past year, advertising the swimming meets, charity football game, class and club dances, and other school activities. The photographic and art material for the annual and decorations for class parties are also the work of this department. In addition, three craft classes have been instructed in leather work and jewelry. Algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, and advanced algebra are offered in the department of mathematics. Trigonometry is taught when the size of the class warrants it. In addition to the classes in home course, cooking, sewing, and needlework in the home economics department, a new subject, dietetics, offering special training to those girls wishing to become nurses was introduced during the last semester of the school year. VVhile learning the essentials of home-making, cooking, and sewing, the girls are taught lessons in choice of clothing, both from an artistic and an economic viewpoint. They are also instructed in personal hygiene. History is one of the popular subjects in the curriculum of the school as there are a great number of students enrolled in the classes in ancient history, modern history, American history, English history, and civics. The science department offers the following courses: chemistry, physics, physical geography, biology, and elementary science. The class rooms and laboratories are in the older part of the building. While most of the equipment is modern and well selected, it fails to meet the demands of the large enrollment in the popular science courses. The band, the orchestra, the harmony class, and the glee clubs comprise the music department. Many students are taking advantage of the course in music lessons which is offered preparatory to entering the various branches of this department. In the athletic department, in addition to the teams coached for competition with other schools, the following number of students receive physical training: 240 in the girls' gym classes, 150 in the girls' swimming classes, 180 in the boys' gym classes, and 101 in the boys' swimming classes. The library has been enlarged considerably within the last few years. At the present time it contains 3000 volumes for reference, 600 home reading books, and a section of text books which may be loaned to students for the semester. In addition fifteen periodicals are available for leisure reading and many of them are in demand as supplementary material for the various classes. The building and grounds are in charge of the following people: Mr. Tapley, Mr. Adams, Mr. Butcher, Mr. Conner, Mrs. Jardine, and Mr. Mitchell, who willingly cooperate with the members of the faculty whenever they are called upon.

Unlike previous classes, we showed a surprising lack of the timidity traditional among Freshmen, and rapidly accustomed ourselves to the routine of the institution. ADMINISTRATION - Administration for the first year consisted of: Kathryn Rush, president, Clyde Connell, vice-president, Richard Dorsey, secretaryg Roger Halligan, treasurer, and Miss Barber, adviser. The ability with which these people directed the activities of the class justified to the fullest extent our choice of them. FRESHIE FROLIC - On May 10, we inaugurated our social program. On that night we held our . Freshie Frolic in the form of a carnival. Balloons, crepe paper, hats, tin horns, confetti, and serpentine, helped to furnish an air of gayety that prevailed throughout the evening. Dick Marshall's orchestra furnished the music. Thus, a fitting climax was given to our initial year at S. H. S. SETTLEMENT We returned to the scene of our conquests the next year as Sophomores, a step up the ladder. We inaugurated the following oiiicers: Roger Halligan, president, Bruce Jones, vice-president, Dick Crane, secretary, Marjorie Moore, treasurer, and Miss Barber, adviser. We relied upon the integrity of these people to carry us through the ensuing year. Soon many of the members of our class assumed positions of leadership in the various clubs to which we were eligible. ST. PATRICK'S DANCE-St. Patrick reigned at our sophomore party which was held March 17, in the gym. Unique decorations of green drew words of admiration and the admission that this was the best decorative scheme in many years. Thus closed the second chapter of our high school career. Nmeteen 'Twenty HARDSCRABBLE WE CONQUER We came back in the fall, monarchs of all we surveyed. We were now upperclassmen. As officers we elected Richard Dorsey, president, Bruce Jones, vice-president, Stanley Oakman, secretary, Helen Light- holder, treasurer, and Mr. Koenig, adviser. They served us admirably through the trying days of the Junior Carnival, our annual party, and lastly, the Prom. The Women's Club Hall was the scene of our annual dance held during the Christmas holidays. Christmas decorations invested the scene with the proper atmosphere. CARNIVAL-Our class sponsored a Carnival to which the whole school was given over. A Hungarian Cabaret with a fioor show, a Water Carnival, a Fun House, the Hot Dog Minstrels, the South Sea Islanders, a Comic Strip, the House of Terror, a snake charmer, a magician, various freaks, and side shows were the attractions offered. Throughout the corridors barkers shouted, urging the crowds to attend the side shows, while a German Band furnished more noise than music. The Carnival was held on April 17 and 18, and our efforts were well repaid in the form of great crowds that turned out to see this novel idea. PROM- On May 22, the climax of the year arrived in the form of the Prom. Our guests, the Seniors, were ushered through the gym doors into an undersea palace, where music for the dancing was furnished by Artie Collin's orchestra. Misty blue and green lights threw an opalescent glow over seaweed, rocks, sea shells, sunken ships, treasure chests, and grotesque monsters of the deep. All in all, we were well satisfied with the effect produced. WE REIGN Our return as Seniors was of great importance to us as it marked the beginning of the end. We chose as officers for this year, the following people: Helen Lightholder, president, Richard Dorsey, vice-president, Arlain Vance, secretary, Dorothy Donahie, treasurer, and Mrs. Dale adviser. ATHLETICS-This year, the members of our class who had been prominent in athletics all through high school days reached the peak of their success. They placed on basketball, football, baseball, track, and swimming teams. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES-As Seniors, we were accorded the honor of holding the first dance of the year. It was held on December 22 in the gym. Lights from decorated Christmas trees shone with brilliance upon the dancers and Zeke Price's orchestra furnished music in their usual gay manner. This was followed by the Hardscrabble dance on February 5, held to obtain funds for the publication of the annual. This was a hard times party with newspaper used for decorations and confetti. Expenses were thus reduced to a minimum and the returns were the first contribution to the Hardscrabble fund. Again the music was furnished by Zeke Price. On May 20, we were entertained by the Juniors who put forth every effort to make our last Prom a memorable one. ACHIEVEMENTS-Among the number of our achievements we count: the Hardscrabble, which was published under difficulties unencountered by previous classes, a splendid senior play, which displayed a surprising amount of dramatic talent, and lastly, commencement at which we received our coveted diplomas, this, we all agreed, was the supreme achievement.

The Honor Ten, the honorary society of the Senior Class, is chosen by the faculty. Their selection is based upon the following requirements: scholarship, participation in school activities, attitude toward faculty and school, and attitude toward fellow-students. The student who receives the highest number of votes is named the Honor Student and his or her picture is placed in the library. Richard Dorsey was chosen Honor Student of the Class of 1932.

However, we soon became accustomed to our studies and the social activities, some of the newness and goodness wore off, and many of our number could be found almost any night serving ninth hours. In November we organized our class and elected the following oflicers: Bob Musser, president, Jeanne Bertiaux, vice-presidentg Florence Morse, secretary, Eleanor Reynolds, treasurer, and Miss Kirkpatrick, adviser. In athletics we exhibited much prowess. Ofur stars, Bob Musser, Ray Clayton, Fred Kaley, Fred Richards, and Howard Fletcher, did their bit on the basketball, swimming, and football teams. Not being satisfied with athletic records alone, we won laurels in the inter-class debate meet receiving the cup for 1929-1930. Georgianna Powers, Harry Steinmiller, and Mary Metcalf were the members of our team. On May 9 we gave a colorful class dance. A huge rainbow constructed at one end of the gym formed an effective background for Dick Marshall's orchestra. Ferns, flowers, rainbow-hued paper streamers, and rustic furniture completed the setting. Last year we returned to Streator High with our ambitions and energetic spirit renewed by the memory of our achievements of the first year. We reorganized our class electing Marion Reeder, presidentg Harold Keating, vice-presidentg Ruth Sauer, secretary, Jean Robb, treasurerg and Miss Baer, adviser. Again we were well represented in athletics. The stars of our freshman year repeated their excellent work. In addition, Leo Ryan and Jack Hyson brought honor to our class. We defied all superstition on Friday, March 13 and presented an unusual and entertaining dancing party. The gym, lighted by lanterns and candles, was transformed into a French cabaret Where guests, dressed in Apache costumes, were wined and dined at crude tables. Noranna Berrettini and Rosemary Curran entertained with an Apache dance, and Bernadine Joy sang two popular numbers.

At last the year to which we had looked forward arrived-the junior year. To our class now belonged the responsibility of some of the most important annual functions. For this important year, we elected: Jack Hyson, presidentg Jeanne Bertiaux, vice-presidentg Charles Hoffman, secretary 5 Jean Robb, treasurerg and Miss Baer, adviser. Much of the success of the various athletic teams was again due to the Juniors of whom, Bob Musser was high point man on the varsity basketball teamg Howard Fletcher was a sub on the varsity basketball teamg Karl Hein was a member of the All-Statersg Fred Richards, Fred Kaley, and Jack Hyson were point makers for the swimming team: and George Tibbles, Karl Hein, and Howard Fletcher were valuable members of the track team. Our first social event was our annual dance given on January 8. The wintry scene in the gym with its snow covered fir trees and glistening icicles rivaled the artistry of Mother Nature. After mid-year exams we made plans for our Junior Vodvil. This was given in the gym on April 21 and 22 and was new and different, being presented in the form of a program of acts sponsored by the Radio Experimental Television Station, S. H. S., owned and operated by the Junior Class. Large crowds attended both evening performances. Thus we were enabled to entertain the Seniors with an excellent Prom on May 20. This climaxed our junior year and was a fitting farewell dance to the Seniors.

Mrs. Swanson FRESHMAN SUMMARY-In September, 1930, two hundred enthu- siastic, vivacious Freshmen thronged the corridors of Streator High, and in January seventy more Freshies joined our ranks. Our officers, President Charles Farrington, Vice-President Lawrence Breimer, Secretary Marion Moore, Treasurer Marie Dell, and our adviser, Mrs. Swanson, led us through our freshman year in great style. We excelled in athletics as well as in scholarship and other activities. Our Freshman Frolic, a kid party, was the most successful event given in the Streator High School. HURRAH FOR THE FRESHMEN! BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER-As Sophomores we returned with more class spirit, renewed strength, and new ambitions. This year with Roberta Beed, president, James Cain, vice-president, Albert Lund- berg, secretary, Charles Farrington, treasurer, and Mrs. Swanson, adviser, we continued to keep up our good work and reputation. YE KNOW US BY OUR WORKS. -Do you remember the big husky star player on the football team last fall? That was Louie Bednar. Every- one remembers Carl Davies, who played as a regular guard on the varsity basketball team, and Charles Farrington, Virgil Palm, and Louie Bednar who were substitutes. Lawrence Breimer, Albert Lundberg, and Maurice Losey held regular positions on the All-Staters. All these boys were full fledged Sophomores. Clarence Fleishour, another distinguished athlete, won honors for the swimming team. The Sophomore Solicitors Quartette, after hardscrabbling for weeks, won second place in the Hardscrabble contest. ST. PATRICK'S SPREE-The gym was decorated with branches, green moss, and colored lights. A large balloon suspended from the center of the ceiling opened and showered dozens of smaller balloons upon the dancers. We received many compliments on our decorations and these were sincere even if the blarney stone was in our midst. The success of our party was due to our efficient class adviser.

Miss Stingley Abundantly supplied with notebooks and pencils the class of 35 , two hundred twenty-five in number, approached the Streator Township High School that September morning in 1931, prepared for better or for worse. Early in the year we elected our class officers and adviser. George O'Connell was chosen presidentg Margaret Baer, vice-president, Betty Jane Roe, secretary 3 Jack J acobowitz, treasurer 5 and Miss Stingley, adviser. In January, seventy-five more boys and girls added their names to the long freshman list. The Freshmen won recognition in several of the sports. The following boys received letters for their work on diierent teams: William Pile, trackg Carl Blair, swimming, Edward Malley and George Kmetz, basketball. George O'Connell, Betty Jane Roe, Jack Jacobowitz, and Mary Lois Shaughnessy were the members of the class who solicited subscriptions for the Hardscrabble. Even though the Freshmen took the cellar position in the drive, we think our team did fairly well considering that the upperclassmen had the advantage of being experienced. The biggest moment of our freshman year was the Freshie Frolic which was in the form of a kid party. The gym was decorated like a nursery with dolls, drums, wagons, toy animals and all sorts of toys which made an attractive background. Fred Price's orchestra furnished the music. Margaret Baer and Edward Malley sang School Days, and Romona Andrews danced a Russian dance. Stand by everybody, for in the next three years we are going to do big things in a big way!

This team won the Big Twelve championship in its first year of competition. Dale should be given much credit for this, since the Big Twelve consists of some of the toughest teams in the state. For the twelfth time during his career at Streator, his team has won the district basketball championship. This remarkable record has made him well known throughout the state as a leading coach. DALE EDWARD BLAND - Red has proved a very able assistant to Dale in both football and basketball. He coached the backfield in football where he showed marked ability. He has also produced some very successful baseball teams in his four years of coach- ing at Streator. Last year he turned out a cham- pionship team in baseball and his prospects for this season are very good. BRIX AUGUST VOHS -- Vohs is in his second year BLAND ANDREW BRIX- Andy has produced good teams in both cross country and track in the seven years he has coached at Streator. Andy has many good prospects for this season and his track team should place high in conference competition and in the Big Twelve meet. as coach of the swimming team and as swimming instructor at Streator. His team made a creditable showing last season and this year's team was quite successful, placing fourth in the Big Twelve meet held here. voHs FortyfSeven -1 HARDSCRABBLE VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM First row: Ed Malley, Albert Lundberg, Raymond Clayton, George Tkach, Joe Tibbles, John Sullivan, Wallace Wonders, Joe Sirotnak.

Varsity Football Streator entered Big Twelve competition in football this season for the first time. After several weeks of strenuous practice, it looked as if a quite promising team had rounded into shape, but as the season progressed these early hopes were soon blasted. St. Bede, our first foe, tripped us by a 7-0 score. The first Big Twelve game, in which the Red and White played Peoria Manual, ended in a scoreless tie. The Dalemen then journeyed to Danville where they were defeated in a hard battle 13-Og however, the next week they won from El Paso 21-6. In the next game Streator lost to a powerful Springfield team 32-0. The two games which followed were played away from homeg the Red and White were beaten on a muddy field by a fast Peoria Central team 25-0, and they lost to Lincoln 12-0. The next game was played at homey Pekin won 13-7. In the last game of the season, a heavy and fast Spring Valley team defeated Streator 25-0. The boys were fighting and giving their best in all the games but on account of their inexperience they could not quite find themselves this season.

It will be ' ditlicult to fill his place next year. CONNELL- Squint was used at both guard and end this year and proved a reliable man at both positions. GRAGG - Geordie played hard football at his center position all season. His services will be greatly missed next season. TKACH --George, our diminutive quarterback, was on the receiving end of nearly all passes and proved that his position will be hard to fill next season. ROE- Pouch , playing his first season of varsity football, proved his worth as a halfback. His interference and tackling were very satis- factory. TIBBLES- Joe was a hard hitting halfback, always on the alert on both defense and offense. WONDERS-- Wallie improved rapidly as the season progressed, and played at end in many of the late season games. ROSS- Jimmie was a dependable substitute at both right guard and right tackle. The following men received letters: Fletcher, Sirotnak, Sullivan, Bednar, Jensen, Gura, Malley, Lundberg, Humenick, and Bovell. They all played good ball and Louie Bednar received the honor of being placed on the second all-star team of the Big Twelve.

Varsity Basketball Streator opened the season on December 3 against Normal U. High and was defeated 30-25, but the following night, Spring Valley was beaten by the Dalemen 23-12. Streator then played its first conference foe, Lincoln, and was defeated in a thrilling battle 22-19. The following week-end Danville was admin- istered a neat drubbing 18-12. In the game against LaSalle, Streator was given a surprise and was beaten by a large score 30-14. In the return match with La Salle, however, the defeat was avenged with a neat victory 23-11. This game showed Connell playing at back guard instead of Bednar. The Red and White then journeyed to Peoria on January 8 and 9, for games with Central and Manual. The Centralites were defeated to the tune of 16-7 5 and the Red and White, playing a great game, defeated the fast stepping Manual team the next night 36-22. Streator next traveled to Springfield and in a very exciting game before a large crowd, the now confident Streator team beat Springfield 14-13. The following night Streator drubbed Kankakee 34-13 and then came one of the most thrilling games of the season, an overtime with Pekin. Streator won this game 20-18 through a long shot by Davies in the regular period and baskets by Musser and Roe in the overtime. Kankakee was next met at Kankakee, and the Harrisonmen won this game only because the Streator substitutes played the whole game. The score was 30-19. The next three non-conference foes, Seneca, Ottawa, and Kewanee, and two conference foes, Peoria Manual and Lincoln, were all defeated HARDSCRABBLE -- by Streator, but only after hard fought battles. Seneca was defeated 36-19, Ottawa 23-2'0, and Kewanee 19-13. Peoria Manual was next met and defeated in another thrilling battle 20-19. This game gave Streator a tie for the lead in the Big Twelve. Lincoln fell next, after a hard earned victory in which our boys put on a great rally to overcome an eight point lead and hold the highly touted Lincoln outfit to three points in the last half to win 17-13. This gave Streator the Big Twelve lead which they held the rest of the season. Pekin then broke the long string of victories to give the Bulldogs their second Big Twelve defeat 24-11. Then came another heart-breaker. Ottawa defeated Streator for the first time in fifteen years 28-23. Dorsey was ill during this game, playing very little and the boys could not quite get going without him. Streator next played Springfield in a game which meant either undisputed possession of the Big Twelve championship or a tie. The boys played a very cautious game, got back their fight and confidence, and gave the Solons the worst beating ever given them by a Streator team 28-17. Connell played his best game of the year and all of the other fellows played bang-up ball. The following week Streator played their last game before the tournaments, meeting Freeport and defeating them 21-15. Schedule Opponent Where Played Date Normal U.

He was a valuable man on both defense and offense and played good ball all season on the pivot line. He was the second high scorer on the team and proved a good leader. Dick was chosen as center on the second Big Twelve team. ROBERT MUSSER - Bob was a good offensive man and a good dribbler. He was the hot shot of the team and led the Big Twelve in scoring. He scored 209 points in all games. Bob was chosen as one of the forwards on the first Big Twelve team. He will be back next year. CARL DAVIES - Carl , although only a Sophomore, played a great game at fioor guard. A tall fellow valuable in taking the ball from the back board, he showed plenty of fight and played a steady game. Carl was the third man to receive honorable mention. ROBERT ROE - Bob , also playing his second and last year of varsity basketball, was the other co-captain. Although not a high scorer, he was one of the best defensive men on the team. He was also a good leader and his position will be hard to fill next season. Bob was given honorable mention in the Big Twelve selection. HOWARD FLETCHER- Fletch came up from the All-Staters after the first few games and his work was satisfactory in every game in which he played. He has another year of competition. District Tournament The district tournament was held in Streator for the second con- secutive year and was copped by the Bulldogs. Streator played good basketball throughout the tournament. Ottawa was beaten in the first game 27-95 next came Serena, whom they trampled on 45-113 and lastly, Seneca, whom they defeated in the championship game 19-13. Fiftyffwo HARDSCRABBLE -- 1 il MH--. , .-.-,.A-., - -. Q.. aa CONNELL BEDNAR PALM STOTLER Varsity Basketball Personnel CLYDE CONNELL- Squint started the season a little late but proved that he deserved a position at back guard. He was a most valuable man because of his accurate passing and his clever handling of the ball. Squint was given honorable mention in the Big Twelve and will be missed a great deal next season. LOUIS BEDNAR- Louie started the season at back guard but was later removed when Connell took his place. He entered many other games during the season and showed that he could be depended upon. Louie should earn a regular berth next season. VIRGIL PALM- Virg , playing his first year of varsity basketball, showed lots of fight. He made a very creditable showing in all games he entered. Virg has two more years and is being counted on for some good work. HOWARD STOTLER - Stot played his first year of varsity basketball. He was a lanky fellow who could always be counted on for the tip off and a few points in all games he entered. He will not be back next year. CHARLES FARRINGTON - Chuck came up from the All-Staters during the middle of the season and played good ball in the games he entered. He has two more years of competition. Sectional Tournament The Red and White then traveled to Peoria for the sectional tourna- ment. Streator was one of the favorites, but they were destined to meet one of the toughest teams in the tournament, Canton. In a great battle on the huge Armory fioor, the Bulldogs were defeated 28-15 by the Canton team who later won the sectional, and advanced to the finals of the state. This game closed a very successful season for Streator.

Many of their opponents were the first teams of the smaller schools who later competed in the district tournament. The main purpose of the All-Staters is to develop a team to fill the vacancies in the varsity. This year Fletcher and Farrington were given varsity suits in the middle of the season.

Swimming The swimming team, under the supervision of Coach August Vohs, had a very successful season. The team won five meets and lost four. In the Big Twelve Conference, Streator won two and lost three meets. This record is remarkable, as Captain Shay, Hyson, Bellows, and Kent were unable to participate in many of the meets on account of illness. The high point man for the season was Fred Richards with a total of 52, while Clarence Fleishour was second with 47. In the Big Twelve meet Thomas Bushong placed second in diving and fourth in the 40 yard free style. The relay team composed of Bushong, Bellows, Shay, and Fleishour holds the unofficial pool record for the 160 yard relay made against Peoria YU on December 2, 1931. They timed 1:24 flat and placed second in the Big Twelve meet.

The 1932 team will undoubtedly be one of the greatest that has ever represented Streator. Four veterans from last year's great club returned to form the nucleus of the squad, and many promising recruits filled the vacancies. The players who graduate are: Captain George Tkach, who played his third year of great ballg Bob Roe, who was a consistent player for two yearsg and Merle Bedeker, Whose great pitching was an aid to the team in many games. Special mention should be made of the work of Elko, as he has lost but one of all the games he has pitched in high school competition.

Cross Country The cross country team won three of the meets in which they were entered, and placed second in the invitational meet at Pekin. In these nine meets Captain Al Foeste always managed to place first, or very close to first in every race. However, the inexperience of the team, as a whole, kept the Red and White harriers from winning more victories. The team was composed of Captain Alfred Foeste, Thomas Chismar, Andrew Cook, Richard Cox, Maurice Losey, Arthur Lynch, William Pile, John Schneider, and Walter Schwartz. The first meet with Peoria Manual was won by Streator. Streator also won a dual meet with Pontiac and Pontiac's invitational meet. Foeste took first place establishing a new record for the course. Streator placed second in Pekin's invitational meet but lost dual meets with Peoria Central, Lincoln, Springfield, Danville, and Pekin. Captain Foeste, Chismar, Cox, and Lynch are the members of this year's squad who will graduate. Golf The golf team represented Streator in the district meet at La Salle. Bruce Jones qualified again this year for his third successive year. He scored 87 for second low, while Dick Dorsey shot a 91, and tied for fourth low. Lincoln Davis and Lawrence Beall also competed. Streator will participate in three more meets: the Big Twelve at Springfield, the state meet at Champaign, and the Illinois Valley at La Salle. Fifty E1ght HARDSCRABBLE - Inter-Class Sports BASEBALL-Baseball stars were not limited to the varsity this year. An inter-class baseball league was formed for the first time, and so many stars were unearthed that two teams were formed from each class. The names of the teams are: Freshmen, Indians and Mudhensg Sophomores, Blue Jays and Blackhawks, Juniors, Ramblers and Misfits, and Seniors, Deers and Chows. Up to date, the two senior teams, Deers and Chows, are leading the race. Connell and Shay, two senior pit-chers, were both admitted to the baseball Hall of Fame by each pitching a no-hit game. SWIMMING-Because of the interest shown in the varsity swim- ming team, it was decided to hold an inter-class swimming meet. After several practice sessions the meet was held on March 24. The teams finished in the following order: Sophomores, 31 pointsg Freshmen and Juniors, 30 points each. The Seniors did not enter the meet. TRACK - On May 9, the annual class track meet was held at Anderson Fields. The Juniors, mainly through the great work of Musser and Benckendorf, won the meet with a total of 68 points. They were closely followed by the Sophomores who scored 50 points. The Seniors and Freshmen took third and fourth places respectively. Juniors: Benckendorf, Musser, Jensen, Yeck, Bovell, Picker, McDowell, Rashid. Sophomores: Beall, Reynolds, Osborn, Windus, Davies, Schneider, Fleishour. Seniors: Bushong, Chismar, Allison, Roe.

A., which through her efforts has become affiliated with the Illinois League of Girls' Athletic Associations. She is to be congratulated upon her fine work in this department. Swimming In September a girls' life saving class was organ- ized under the direction of Miss Rebecca Weinstein, who is a life saving examiner. After six practices, the examinations were given. Margaret Baer, Carol Pad- gett, Bae Reese, and Ruth Vollmer passed the Junior Test, Roma Helm passed the Senior Test. Life saving beginners' tests and swimmers' tests were given in the regular swimming classes. Forty- two girls passed the beginners' test and twenty-five, Miss ws - INSTEIN the swimmers' test. The purpose in the regular swimming classes is to train every girl to pass at least one of the above tests. Fifty Nme -1 HARDSCRABBLE Sixty G. A. A.

Harclscrabble Gloom descended upon the school and community when it was announced that there was to be no Hardscrabble this year. This sad news caused groans and complaints to be issued from various sources and directions. Parents were dismayed and old Grads were disappointed. Was the class of 1932 going to be the first to fail in this enterprise? Were they going to be the first to break that long and proud record held since 1919? No! Most certainly not! Not the class of 1932! Led by a president of more than usual ability, they set about devising several means to raise money in order that an annual might be possible. By January 15 the senior pledges and the aid from business men and other outsiders amounted to a sum sufficient enough to begin this project. A hard times dance was held in the gym. This gala affair not only served as a lively amusement, but it also contributed needy funds to our cause. The boys in the check room turned over a tidy sum that they had received from basketball games and dances. Soon we had accumulated enough money to convince the School Board that we could successfully publish an annual. This done, the staff was appointed and work was begun immediately. It would be impossible to enumerate the number of hours spent or the number of people who worked upon this book. To stimulate the sale of books a race between the classes was planned. Teams were appointed, and the race ended with the Seniors first, with 168 subscriptionsg Soph- omores second, with 1213 Juniors third, with 1043 and the Freshmen last, with 52. Thus, the tradition and record were preserved. Howard Stotler: - Co-Editor Sixty Seven -1- HARDSCRABBLE SixtyfEigl1t Band ool Kiw .c u CD .: E' I wnship rTo Streato LOUIS R.

N D-4 'U L4 E 3 HARDSCRABBLE -- Band Enthusiasm has been the key-note of the band and orchestra this year. A fine spirit has prevailed among the students and splendid results have been obtained. This no doubt is due in a great measure to the excellent work of Mr. Louis Broaddus, who took over the duties of director this year. Mr. Broaddus devotes all his time to the band and MR- BROADDUS orchestra. The band members rehearse their parts in sections once each week, when preparing for a concert or when a difficult number is introduced. Students are allowed to use their spare time for practice. They avail themselves of this opportunity whenever possible, since all are required to learn and perform solos in addition to the ensemble work. Mr. Broaddus also taught a group of beginners who will become regular band members next year, and each Saturday he worked with a group of grade school pupils. In August 1931, the band participated in a contest in Minonk in which it placed second in performance and first in marching. It was prominent in many affairs of civic interest such as the Annual Fall Festival and the Santa Claus parade. It also contributed numbers to the programs of the Convention of Spanish War Veterans and the Illinois Valley Division of the State Teachers' Association. The band added much pep to the football and basketball games by its spirited playing of marches, popular selections, and the Streator Loyalty Song. It also gave three paid concerts during the year, two in the evening and one on Sunday afternoon, May 1. All were attended by large and appreciative audiences. The repertoire consisted of marches by Brockton, Bennett, Holmes, and Sousa, and the following popular and classical selections: Sakuntala by Goldmarkg Urbana Overture by Roberts, Blue Danube Waltz , Song of Love , Egmont g and In a Persian Market. The band did not compete as a unit in any contests during the school year, but several individuals who entered competition received awards. At the invitational contest held at Illinois Wesleyan University, John White placed second in the clarinet section, and Hosmer Merrell, second in violin. At the Big Twelve contest held in Lincoln, Rosa Maie Bane placed second in saxophoneg Howard Thomas, third in cornet, and fourth in piano, and John White, third in clarinet. In November the band members enjoyed a trip to Champaign where they attended the Bradley-Illinois game as the guests of the Streator Kiwanis Club, and in December were the guests of Mr. Broaddus at a dancing party given in the Andora. Sixty Nme Seventy HARDSCRABBLE Orchestra The orchestra holds an important place in school activities, and also forms the nucleus for several splendid church orchestras. It is composed of musicians who are also members of the band. The music offered by the orchestra is of an inspirational character and is greatly appreciated by all who have had the opportunity to hear it. The only public appearance of the orchestra was on March 31, in the band room. Solo selections were presented by a number of the members, followed by several ensemble offerings, which were received with much delight by the large audience.

The Senatus is composed of the officers of the club, and also serves as the program committee. Printed copies of the year's programs were made and given to each member. Conforming with the purpose of the club which is to promote fuller appreciation of Roman life and literature, the Senatus selected as the subject of study for the year some of the Roman gods and their connection with the world of today. In November when the members of the second year Latin classes were initiated into the club as Plebians, the meaning of mythology was explained in a short dialogue. In other programs the following gods and goddesses were discussed: Diana, the goddess of the chase and moon: Mercury, the messenger of the gods, Apollo, the sun god, the patron of athletics, prophecies, healing, and music, Mars, the war god, father of Romulus and Remus, Aurora, the goddess of the dawng Ceres, who looked after the grain in the fields, and Bacchus, god of wine, vegetation, and revels. At the last meeting of the year slides of pictures dealing with mythology were shown. Latin Club pins were purchased by a number of new members. Eta Sigma Phi medals were presented to Ardythe Teas and Harriet Gamble, honor students in fourth year Latin CVergilJ.

Seventy Eight HARDSCRABBLE --- CALENDAR Dear Giggles, September 14, 1931. Poor little me. I almost lost my senior dignity and sophistication C?J before the terrific onslaught of verdants commonly called Frosh. These angel-faced Qand otherwisej seekers of higher learning are too wise to take a ride with us swell Seniors, the mean old things. As soon as we get used to them, they act more grown up than we do. They don't realize, poor things, that they have to learn all over again how to be Freshies when they are elevated to the staggering status of Seniors. Being a Senior, I obeyed that primitive impulse to skip classes today, and found out afterwards that my teachers were quite het up about it. So I guess they can't get along without me much. The football team has been practicing in more weighs than one. Coach Dale says that all play and no work never made a football team. We started the season off with a bang by getting defeated by St. Bede's. No more tonight, Gigs. Bubbles- Dear Gigs, October 10, 1931. Well, pal, everyone registers happiness since our victory over El Paso's football team last night. Rumor hath it that when our dear old school bus Clong may it livej broke down on the way to Danville, our glorious football team was stranded for a whole day in the little town of Askum. f Askum about the little green applesl. Next week, the Daubers' Club, composed of art-conscious students, will go to Lowell to become imbibed with the values of artistic pottery. The band had Dick Marshall's orchestra for their dance at the Andora. Louie must know his pupils quite well, if you know what I mean, since he called in the entire school board and faciglty as guests. Love, Bu s. Dear Giggles, November 14, I got your letter bragging about all the doin's at your school. We're not so slow ourselves. Just a week ago, Tony Sarg's Marionettes gave some perfectly scrumptious plays in the gym. On the tenth, Razor Renton, erstwhile pickpocket, attempted to instill the proper morals in the hearts of us youngsters, speaking on the subject, Does Crime Pay ? The day after that, we had a double-header. It was Rough Neck Day and Armistice Day. Imagine how incongruous we felt dressed so giddily, while Mr. Paul Uebler, of the American Legion, gave us a splendid talk on Patriotism. Tonight, the good old S. H. S. students tore up the town. The band led a crowd of crazy boys and girls and a long string of queer-looking vehicles down the Main Drag. A huge, very noisy Pep meeting finished everything perfectly-fnot only events, but propertyl. And today, the glum faces about town were the result of the score of our Homecoming Game with Spring Valley. Don't forget, Gigs, you are coming to the G. A. A. party in the Model Apartment, November 17. Good luck to your dance. Bubbles. Dear Gigs, December 3. I just got your letter. You must have a remarkable swimming team. We engaged in our first swimming meet of the season yesterday with Peoria Y , I Seventy Nme Eighty HARDSCRABBLE Oh Gosh, I must begin right off to tell you about our first basketball game of the season, which was played tonight. Were we thrilled? I'll bet the Normal U. High team was impressed by our new loyalty song that was written by an alumnus, Dorothy Mulford-Coolidge. It sounded fine when we sang it, you see, we had made every possible mistake while practicing it in Assembly, and I've heard people say that no S. H. S. student ever makes the same mistake twice. I know a kid that grew a moustache twice, though. Last week, the band members surprised Mr. Broaddus like anything when they gave him a gorgeous dance in the band room with a scarf thrown in. Joy reigned supreme, we hear. Enough for today. Bubs. December 18. Dear Gigs, Just a note to let you know that we will be suffering under a vacation until January 4. There must be a Santa Claus. We are to have a Hardscrabble, after all. A couple of hoorays and hallelujahs! Now the Board can enjoy the jokes in it without feeling the weight of having contributed heavily to it. With such backing,-literary, artistic, and, most of all, financial,-we should be able to really do things. If we become poor because of it, and can't leave the school a wonderful gift, the preservation of the Hardscrabble will in itself be a monument to our memory. Just a week ago today, the Spanish Club discovered that there was so much talent among themselves that they gave a program of Spanish music, and invited their parents and friends to come. The result was wurra, wurra, favorable. In accordance with an old custom Cnot Spanishl the Seniors gave the first dance of the year, last night. In accordance with a new custom, there were no decorations. We take the Board's word for it that there is a depression. The Juniors followed close on our heels, and gave their party on Jan- uary 9, with Fred Price wielding the baton. Don't you wish you were here? Bubs. January 25. Dear Gigs, Don't expect anything very cheerful. Prospects for my final average a.re formidable indeed. The fatal hour of exams has come and gone, and many were faithful to the end, while others died gallantly fighting for passing grades. Today began 112 days, or 594 hours, or 33,840 minutes, or 122,130,400 seconds of hard work--back to the mines, there'll be no strike today. The Freshies were introduced to Prof. Waldrip and the office girls today. They will see more of them! Now for the latest basketball news. Last Saturday, we walked all over Kankakee in a thrilling game. And did we win the game with Pekin? Yea, Davies! It was simply drenched with excitement. My feminine intuition tells me we're going to beat Seneca tomorrow. Good night, old dear. P. S. I just must tack on this bit. We are one of the first schools to see talkie pictures of the University of Chicago. What's more, Ken Rause, all American center f1928J, came along with the pictures. Most of the girls were looking at him instead of at the movie. Bubs. HARDSCRABBLE - Dear Gigs February 11. Just a note to gush about the last dance. It really was a good idea to have the Hardscrabble Dance to set off the official subscription campaign. Think of the noise four hundred people can make griping about the corn- meal on the floor. This was entirely unreasonable, since anyone could see by the newspaper decorations that it was a Hard Times Dance. Audrey Prendergast, colleen de luxe plus ultra, sang a little ditty during the intermission. Our own inimitable Agnes Mertens tap-danced for us. Last night, the Biology Club invited Dr. Beed to their meeting, and he filled them With heap much learning about the circulatory system. It was one of those rare instances when education is combined with pleasure. The French Club had a meeting in the Band Room. As busy as Mrs. Dale is, she found time to prepare a valentine treat for the members. Remember I told you about the Christmas souvenirs Miss Cadwell presented to us? ove, Bubs. Dear Giggles, March 14' March comes in like a lamb as far as events are concerned. Nothin' doin'. Yawns, yawns, and then some more yawns, Everybody is waiting for spring vacation to begin, struggling vainly to throw off the dread yoke of Spring Fever. We all had perfectly good intentions of keeping awake in class, but it seems that with the lovely weather, it is impossible. March 18-Boy, oh boy! I take it all back! Our boys Won the district tournament staged here. Are We proud of them? And last night. My vocabulary is inadequate for describing the marvelous Sophomore Dance, a St. Patrick's Day party. All the best looking fellows and girls were there. Honestly, Gigs, life is just one dance after another. This social whirl is simply iulossal. Forgot to tell you. No Spring Vacationl!!! Yours in sackc ot , Bubs. P. S. We had a free show yesterday afternoon. Representatives from Wesleyan University entertained us in the Gym. Since the performance of the male quartette, we expect to hear of a rush on the musical depart- ment down there. Bubbles. Dear Giggles, Avril 8' The Girls' Glee Club was more gleeful than ever tonight at their dance. Swell music, swell decorations, swell program, and swell crowd-this affair of the chief boiler works disciples. Those frenzied, fickle, frivolous Freshmen intend to give their dance one week from today. I can hardly wait. I know it will prove to be oodles and gobs of fun. Hope I don't sprain my ankle before! The Latin Club had another interesting meeting today. It has been carrying out an extensive program this year with a large membership as compensation for its efforts. Just think, Gigs, the physics class gets to go to Champaign this Week-end. Of course, there is an ulterior motive-they're to visit the Electrical Engineering Show at Illinois University. Bubs. Deal. Gigs, April 21. Those up and coming Juniors put on a marvelous Vodvil-pardon me, Television program-in the gym. Amplifiers and everything. I just must describe it to you. The curtains opened on a real, genuine, night club Eighty One --- HARDSCRABBLE scene. Hotcha! Hotcha! The antics of Willy Squinchell and Jeanne-the- Hostess got a big hand. Slaughterhouse Parcher slapped Battling Bovell a little too hard in the big fight and knocked him out, the big brute. The mystery play showed the men in their true colors. Hurray for the women! 'Tis whispered that behind Herr Louie's grandiose uniform, Jesse McDowell was hidden. After several other specialties, the night club was disclosed once more for the grand finale, in which two choruses made Terpsichore look like a dying gladiator. Bud Raymond's tap-dance was the hit of the show. After his third encore, the curtain was rung down on one of the best Vodvils ever presented-except ours. The Juniors are to give a matinee dance next Thursday. We will all have a good time in our school clothes. Charles Hoffman's orchestra will playg it has been rapidly gaining fame for its musical prowess. Everyone is chattering about Prom outfits. Bubs Dear Giggles, May 30' Ah-h-h-h! The much anticipated, long remembered Prom has come and gone. It was truly a fitting tribute to the grandeur of the illustrious Senior Class-ahem! For one glorious night the gym became a romantic southern garden. Biddinger's Commanders, of WOC, came down from Davenport to help us-nay, enable us to properly enjoy the occasion. I can't believe yet that I am almost a sweet girl graduate. This is just a note with the Baccalaureate and Commencement programs I am enclosing for you. We Seniors certainlybwill have a wonderful week.

Drummers and musicians ready !!!let'sg0!!! WHEN ASSEMBLY IS OVER There's a shoving and a hauling, And a stepping-on of toes. There's a shouting and a brawling What a din the halls enclose! There's confusion and there's run- ning There's a riot close at hand. Every person uses cunning, To get out before the band. The Professor shouts and threat- ens, But the students pay no heed! No human force can stop them, Or slow their break-neck speed. He appeals to better natures, And our manly chivalry, But open spaces call them, Each one says, One side for me ! Yes, the open spaces call them, And they rush on toward the light! Let the weaker cower and tremble, And the women scream with fright! Soon the last have reached the doorway, And quiet reigns o'er all, The frenzied crowd has scattered, From the school's assembly hall.
