THE 1935 HARDSCRABBUE Senior Class Streator Township High School Streator, Illinois DEDICATIGN ,OW o Miss lean Stingley, who has so loyally cooperated with our class for the last four years, we, the Senior Class, dedicate this, the seventeenth volume of the Hard- scrabble, in appreciation of her tireless efforts and patience in leading us to our goal. STREATORLAN D nistomcu socaerv FUREWORD ight has always been necessary to man, but not until the last half century has it been made con- venient and practical for the average person. As we have made tremendous strides in the spreading of the light which dis- pels shadows, so in the future shall our schools continue to spread the light of intelligence which will dispel the darkness ot ignorance. In this year which marks the three-hundredth anniversary of secondary education, we, the staff consider it fitting to use light as our theme ---light, the symbol of knowledge throughout the ages.

Streator Township High School Gymnasium Doorway -ee ,D Cgeardsmabblo -- '35 MR. C. L. JORDAN The S eri s Message The tercentenary of public secondary education in America is being celebrated this year. In all parts of the country, fitting tribute is being paid to those far-sighted pioneers who established the first free and demo- cratic high school in 1635. The American dream of creating an enlightened citizenry, capable of providing a life of peace and abundance for all, has been handed down to us through three centuries of struggle. It still is our hope. The high school has played a great role in the destiny of our country. From its inception, it has been the major factor in guiding youth toward the responsibilities of adult life and living. It has survived hardship and criticism. It continues to meet its responsibilities in a heroic manner. C. L. JORDAN, Superintendent. E111 Wafdscfabbza Xl '35 KARL 3 . 1 LOWE 39 11121 Faculty J. O.

Many changes have taken place in secondary education during these three hundred years. The secondary school was followed by academies and later on by public high schools. Subject matter has been changed and institutions enlarged to make the training offered available and adaptable to all. The high school today is recognized as one of the vitally important factors in the training of youth. The high school has always been an important institution in Streator. The first high school of Streator was organized in 1875. It was the third high school in Illinois organized under the township system. This school was lirst located above the present office of the Times Press. In 1877 the school was moved to the old Methodist Church where the present Baptist parsonage is now situated. A new building in 1882 was the gift of Colonel Ralph Plumb and in 1902 an addition was built to this. This addition consisted of an assembly hall, laboratories, gymnasium, and an oiiice. In 1923 this building was torn down to be replaced by a new structure, dedicated in 1925. The original course of study included: English, French, German, Greek, Latin, sciences, taught from text books only, mathematics, con- sisting of, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and astronomy. One year of history and four years of drawing were compulsory, and two languages other than English were required for graduation. In the past sixty years the enrollment of the school has grown to such an extent that the faculty now numbers forty-two. There have been many additions to the course of study during this time. This year, three new subjects have been added. A Secretarial Training course, consisting of type, shorthand, bookkeeping, and general secretarial practice, is under the supervision of Miss Halsey, General Mathematics, under the guidance of Miss Ferguson, and Library Training under the direction of Miss Lampe. The purpose of this library course is to train pupils in library work, such as cataloguing, reference work, and the checking of over-due books. The attendance this year has been carefully checked by the Dean of Boys, Mr. Charleton, and the Dean of Girls, Miss Nachtrieb. A marked improvement in attendance can be seen over other years due to their efforts. They have been assisted in their offices by other faculty mem- bers and upper classmen. The Deans have also been assisted by Mr. Conner, the personnel officer. X141 Cyfafdmbbze, LL.W-... '35 The School The vacancies were filled this year by the following people: Miss Rob- bins, Miss Martin, Miss Riegel, Miss Lampe, Mr. Baumler, Mr. Brix, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Purnell, Mr. Schramm, Mr. Snow. Due to an epidemic of scarlet fever, a school nurse, Mrs. Bartells, was engaged at the beginning of the second semester. The duties of her office are to examine all students returning to school after an absence and those who show any symptoms of illness during the day. . Under the direction of Mrs. Leonard and Mrs. Ambler, excellent meals have been served at noon for students and teachers. The cafeteria has proved very convenient for students living in the country or a great distance from school and those having shortlunch periods. Due to the retirement of Mr. Butcher, a new janitor, Mr. Dell, has been engaged. Streator Township Public Evening School In September, 1934, the Streator Township Adult Evening School, which had long been a cherished plan of Mr. C. L. Jordan, Superintendent of the Streator Township High School became a reality. The purpose of this institution was to enable adults to further their education in various fields without charge, thereby improving their use- fulness to the community. Its inauguration, like that of the many similar schools which had been established throughout the country during the past few years, was in response to the ever-increasing need for wider knowledge, which modern conditions demand. This need is felt, not only in work, but in the constructive use of leisure, either acquired or enforced. The program of courses, developed upon firm, tested educational foundations, was at the same time elastic enough so that instruction was as nearly adapted to individual needs as was possible. Courses were given in the following departments: Commercial, Home-making, Art, Academic, Industrial, Agricultural, and Modern Problems. Under the guidance of Mr. Linden L. Mulford, director of the evening school, results of the first year exceeded all expectation. Although the budget was planned for only 250 students, a total enrollment of nearly 700 attended. In spite of this large enrollment, the cost of the institution was below the budget provided. This closes another chapter in the record of the progress of Streator High School. l115l anna or A Er-.

MULFORD Adviser Senior History With fear in our hearts and darkness in our eyes, we, two hundred and twenty-five freshmen, stumbled upon the threshold of Streator High, eager to learn what was held within those great walls. After becoming familiar with our new surroundings, we thought it proper to elect officers to illuminate our paths throughout our freshie year. These guiding lights were: George O'Connell, presidentg Peg Baer, vice-president: Betty Jane Roe, secretaryg Jack Jacobowitz, treasurerg and Miss Stingley, adviser. The high-light of our first year was the traditional Kid's Party, which carried away the honors of the year. We beamed with pride and joy, for all the upper classmen admitted that we would develop into a great class. The darkness of our freshman year slowly faded into dawn as we, grown up sophomores, entered school for a second session. Once again the spot light was focused on the election of class officers, who were as follows: Bernice Samors, president: George Kmetz, vice-presidentg Fred Richards, secretaryg Ruth Beall, treasurerg and Miss Stingley and Mr. tf19l ,.,,,,m-BBA -f. Cgeardscrabblo -B Bu '35 Mulford, advisers. Our class officers guided us successfully throughout our second year. Our class was well represented in athletics and in club work. The bright light of the year was our Pirate Dance. The gym was transformed with the aid of appropriate decorations into a pirate ship. Juniors, Hurray! Spot lights and action seemed to coincide during our third year at Streator High. Our first action was to elect the follow- ing officers: Jack Jacobowitz, our worthy presidentg Francis Lux, vice- presidentg Albert Lundberg, secretary, Mary Lois Shaughnessy, treasurerg and Miss Stingley and Mr. Mulford advisers. Two dances were sponsored by our class, both of which proved to be successful. The outstanding event of the year was our Junior play, The Red-Headed Step-child, which provided much amusement for those who attended it. The climax of the year was our beautiful Spring formal, the Prom, which was held in honor of the senior class and which brought to a close our activities for one more year. In the fall of 1934 we came back to Streator High with a bright a11d cheery aspect toward spending our last year here pretending to be high and mighty Seniors. Jack Jacobowitz and Francis Lux were again chosen class president and vice-president respectively. They were ably assisted by Richard Comfort, secretary, and Violet Anderson, treasurer. On September 28, the class sponsored a successful dance after the Streator-Danville football game. Everybody left with a beaming smile, so we know that they all had a good time. On the football field our rays of hope were centered on Morrie Losey, Jimmy Cain, Butch Lux, Frank Johnson, and Jimmy Kerwin, all of whom are graduates of the class of '35. In Bob Windus and Jack Marx we had two capable Senior trackmen. We Seniors were admirably entertained by our worthy successors, the Juniors, at the annual Prom on May 11. The gym was completely dis- guised as a Dutch village, and the event will long be cherished as a bright spot in our career. On June 2, we participated in an impressive Baccalaureate service. On Class Night which followed in close succession, the National Honor Society was presented. The Juniors were willed some typical character- istics of the graduating Seniors, and everyone enjoyed the prophecy of our ambitions for the future. Graduation exercises took place on June 6, ending our high school career. Only the embers of our high school days remain, but the learning .we have acquired and undying friendships we have made at Streator High will never cease to light our way along the paths that the future holds for us.

National Honor Society - Membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor a student can attain during his four years of high school life. The standards are high, the qualities necessary being: scholarship, character, leadership, and service to the school. Selections of members for this honor are made by a vote of the fac- ulty from the upper third of the Senior Class, no more than fifteen per cent of the whole class may be chosen. After the selection of this year's members, a meeting of the society was held to elect the oflicers which are as follows: . President .............. .........

M iss Halsey, Mr. Edwards Junior Class History ' In the fall of 32 the corridors of Streator High School were engulfed by a great wave of sunny-faced, freshie boys and girls, which over-flowed into the gloomiest corners, and brightened the most diflicult situations in its eager search for the great Light of Knowledge. Realizing that Rome wasn't built in a day, preparation was made for some earnest, patient study. As guides through trials and tribulations the following leaders were elected: Edith Stephens, president, Jeanne Hill, vice-presi- dentg Joe West, secretaryg Maxine Stransenback, treasurerg with Miss Powell and Mr. Bland, advisers. In financial affairs the class demonstrated astute business ability, promoting several very successful candy sales. A momentous year was then climaxed with the presentation of a delightful masquerade dance titled, The Story Book Ball. A year has passed and the class of 36 are now sophomores with new situations to be faced and new things to be learned. After careful deliberation the following oflicers were elected: Michael Malley, president: William Grant, vice-presidentg Joseph West, secretary, Robert Smith, treasurer, and Miss Powell, adviser. l34l geardscrabblea L I- - '35 The athletic escutcheon of the class was brightened with a gallaxy of stars: Grant Pile, Lyle Hill, Bob Smith, Mike Malley and George Schultz who did their stuff in football and basketball. The class entertained in the spring with a colorful Artists Ball, and all who attended acclaimed it one of the social successes of the year. What wildly beating hearts, what excitement, and what a reason! The junior year is here. With erudition increasing their brilliance, the class proudly selected the following oflicers: Bud Mohan, president, Bill Grant, vice-president, Carroll Payne, secretary: Helen McGuire, treas- urerg and Miss Halsey and Mr. Edwards, advisers. Two successful dances were given by the Juniors, and the large crowds that attended them agreed heartily that the class really knew how to give a dance. On the night of April 11th, old and young flocked to the high school gym where they laughed away their worries and cares over two hilarious one act plays called Babbit's Boy and Irish Stew. In the field of athletics the Juniors were well represented. In foot- ball Bud Dyas, Gene Bertiaux, Bud Harrison, Link Davis, George Schultz, Mike Malley, Bob Smith, Shorty Redd, Al Sirotnak, and Joe West did themselves proud. In basketball Grant Pile, Bud Mohan, Bud Dyas, Andy Bednar, Lyle Hill and Shorty Redd cavorted on the varsity while Carroll Payne, Al Sirotnak and Bob Smith shone brightly on the All Staters. The climax of the year was the Junior Prom, and a grand time was had by all. The gym was transferred into a miniature Holland, the Walls being lined with picturesque Dutch scenes while overhead a blue ceiling floated, kept in undulating cloud-like motion by the cool breezes of many fans and a gayly lighted Dutch windmill which proved the center of attraction at one end of the dance floor. A foreign orchestra traveled all the way from Champaign to provide us with rhythmic melodies. The floor show was a great success and the punch delicious. What a prom! Now the Junior Class is looking forward to their senior year, and under the able guidance of their principal, Mr. Jordan, will seek new fields to conquer in their quest for ephemeral Light of Knowledge.

M iss Purcell, Mr. Baysinger Sophomore Class History In the fall of 1933 over three hundred enthusiastic though timid Freshmen thronged the corridors of Streator High. Our class officers were: Dean Raymond, president g Ralph Harkless, vice-presidentg Rose- mary Katcher, secretaryg William Hombaker, treasurer. Miss Josephine Purcell and Mr. Baysinger, co-advisers, successfully led us through our Freshie year. One of the largest moments of our first year, one which we shall not forget very soon, was the customary Freshie Frolic, which was in the nature of a kid party. The following fall, we returned with renewed vigor and new ambi- tions. We chose as our officers: George Nichols, president, Robert Har- rison, vice-presidentg Robert Ryon, secretaryg William Moore, treasurerg and Miss Purcell and Mr. Baysinger, co-advisers, to continue to uphold our reputation and good work. We are proud of our classmates who carried off honors on the Var- sity, namely, Earl Dixon, Ralph Harkless, Wesley Wilhite. We are also proud of those on the All-Staters who were, Thomas Adams, John Matuszk, Ross Minneci, and Robert Ryon. We gave two dances this year, each of which was a success. One was given March 1, after the Streator-Peoria Manual basketball game, and the other March 29, which was our annual dance. During the activities of this year, our class was saddened by the death of two of its well known classmates, Marjorie Tipton and William Bud Hombaker, who was our Freshman treasurer. We hope to renew our enthusiasm and pep for the coming year and to accomplish the important tasks which will make our junior year out- standing.

N ancy Whittier Advisers ................i......... Miss Purcell, Mr. Baumler Freshman Class History On September 4, 1934, our ambitious freshmen class stormed these distinguished Halls of Learning known as Streator High School, each one of us confident that our class would be successful. To start the year with a bang, we set about electing our oiiicers in a new and better way. The candidates obtained campaign managers, who gave speeches for them as they were introduced in our class meeting. Thus we felt acquainted with the candidates and more capable of making good choices. The admirable result was: Jean Bundy, president, George Nelson, vice-presidentg Pauline Meisenhelder, secretaryg Dorothy Day, treasurer, and Mr. Baumler and Miss Jean Purcell, co-advisers. Then to show what good students we could be, we settled down to diligent studying. Our efforts were well rewarded, for out of the 524 on the honor roll, 126 were freshmen. We were well represented in athletics, too. The freshmen who did good work in basketball are: H. Dearstyne, E. Hall, R. Muscato, G. Adams, L. Adams, C. Novotney, R. Flanigan, R. Sproule, R. Quinn, G. Powers, R. Williams, G. Shottick, V. Hillier, R. Novotney, and C. Mitchell. As fine a showing was made in track by: G. Shottik, C. Mitchell, V. Hillier, C. Bengston, R. Muscato, G. Adams, F. Mushro, C. Novotney, and R. Williams. The night of our Freshie Frolic was dark and stormy, but did that discourage us? I should say not! A large crowd came to dance to the entrancing music and to admire the impressive decorations over which our loyal committee slaved. We are looking forward to the next three years with an eager and enterprising spirit that cannot be daunted. Watch us, Streator High School. We are going to make History. Nancy Whittier. E411 M r .

He has also coached three teams that have won the Big Twelve Confer- ence in four years of competition. This year Mr. Dale had no material for either football or basketball, but by working faithfully and spending considerable time, he finally developed a basketball team that placed second in the District Tournament. Thus Mr. . Dale has proved to us his coaching ability and we predict for him many future successes. COACH DALE I -x 'x 1' 1 i ,f g , Mr. Purnell assumed the duties of assistant coach this year. Aside from assisting Mr. Dale in Z coaching the football team, he took full charge of the Freshmen basketball team and also the track team. He produced a Freshmen team that assured the school of future basketball talent. In track he received wonderful results and made it one of the 'i major sports of the school. Mr. Purnell has contribu- ted much time and consideration to our athletic department and has helped to make Streator a respected foe. I COACH PURNELL The cheerleaders t h i s year were three able girls, Marian Teas, Edith Mitch- ell, and Marjorie Clark. Aided by Mr. Charlton, they conducted the cheer- ing section during the pep meetings and much enthus- iasm was shown. The re- sounding cheers of the i students could be heard in the gymnasium whether the team was in victory or defeat. Thus the cheering section was renowned once more in this part of the state.

The Red and White, smarting under a heart- breaking defeat, then lost to Danville here in a driving rainstorm 18-0. For the next game, Streator traveled to Champaign, losing 28-0. In the two following games, Streator performed brilliantly, beating Peoria Central here 14-0 and repeating at Lincoln 20-12. Pekin then upset Streator 13-0, the game being a punting duel until the last quarter. In the final game of the season the Bulldogs were defeated 19-0 by a much faster and heavier Peoria Manual team. Although the team won but two games, they performed exceptionally well. Lack of weight, experience, and many injuries prevented the team from winning as many games as its loyal rooters had anticipated.

I .ogfardscrabbley , - '35 Team Personnel CAPTAIN MAURICE LOSEY- Morry, playing his last year of varsity football, performed brilliantly in all the games he played. He was noted especially for his fine defensive play. Morry was chosen on the Illinois Valley All-Star team and also received honorable mention in the Big Twelve Conference. JAMES CAIN- Zing proved to be another valuable member of the team. His ability to rush in and break up plays made him an asset to the team. It will be difiicult to fill his position next season. FRANK LUX-Playing his last year of football for Streator, Butch became a center of great skill. The ability to snap the ball back accurately to the backtield consistently made him invaluable to the team. Butch received honorable mention in the Illinois Valley Con- erence. FRANK JOHNSON-Frank, one of the fastest men on the team partici- pated in but two games as a Wrist injury received in the Ottawa game, prevented his playing the remainder of the season. The following men do not graduate but will be ineligible next season according to the eight semester rule. GEORGE SHULTZ- Georgie, the brick wall of the line, was indispens- able in preventing the invaders from constituting large gains. George will be missed greatly next season. EDWIN HARRISON- Budd, a substitute end, was a hard fighter, and was always ready to do his part whenever he was needed. THOMAS FOLLIARD-- Tommy was a man to be depended upon and proved his worth at guard in the late season games. WALDEN LISTON- Wad, a new member on the team, played at end and filled his position well. His shoes will be hard to fill next season. ROBERT GREEN- Bob was a gritty and heady player. His task at quarter-back was thoroughly accomplished at the end of the season. CAIN LUX JOHNSON LOSEY LISTON HARRISON GREEN DAVIS SHULTZ T491 -Wafdmbbze '35 Team Personnel ROBERT SMITH- Bob, a tall fellow, used his height to an advantage in receiving forward passes. CHARLES REDD-- Shorty was very fast and was the key man on the offense. Shorty received honorable mention in the Illinois Valley Conference. ALBERT SIROTNAK- Al played heads up football and could be depended upon in all the games he played. EDWARD MALLEY- Mike was a great tackler and nary a foe ever went past him. Mike will be back next season to prove himself. THOMAS KLINE- Tom proved to be a hard fighter and was reliable in all the games he entered. EDWARD DYAS- Bud was a valuable and dependable substitute. He should receive a regular position next season. Lightweight Football ' A second team comprised of second string varsity players was formed this season under the supervision of Mr. Purnell, and a regular schedule was arranged. A successful season was played, the team winning two games and losing two. The purpose of this team is not to win games, but to train players for varsity vacancies for the following seasons. The principal players of the team were the following: West and Harrison, ends: Jacobowitz and Jonen, tacklesg Cossell and Hoffner, guardsg Kerwin, centerg Pearce fCaptainJ, quarterbackg D. Green and Dyas, halfbacks Q Bertiaux and Flanigan, fullbacks.

Old Man Bad Luck crossed the team's path, and the Bulldogs received their first bad blow in basketball in many years. The team started out well, but in the latter part of the season they were not so successful. Lack of height and experience told on the team as the season progressed, and without these a team cannot be expected to go very far. Ten Big Twelve games were played, Streator losing all ten. The games which aroused the most interest were the Pekin, Peoria Central, and Lincoln games. The game with Pekin proved to be the most thrilling and exciting. In the closing minutes of play the score was 31-29 in favor of Pekin. Before the Bulldogs could rally enough points to forge ahead, the gun had sounded. The game ended 31-29. The Red and White battled furiously in the Central game, but they could not overcome the powerful Peoria team and were defeated by a score of 37-30. In the game against Lincoln, Streator lost 35-28, although they were leading in the last quarter. Among the Non-Conference battles, the Hrst game with Ottawa was the most thrilling and heartbreaking. For the first time in sixteen years Ottawa beat Streator on our home floor. Ottawa's lead in the last few minutes of play could not be reduced and the Bulldogs emerged with a sad defeat of 23-19. The Red and White again lost in a second game with Ottawa, the score being 26-14. The teams which were defeated by Streator were Marseilles, Canton, El Paso, Kankakee, Pontiac, and Clinton. Probably the most interesting was the Clinton game. Clinton, rated the seventh best team in the state, came to Streator with intentions of beating the team, but the Bulldogs, playing inspired basketball, upset the strong Clinton five 32-22. fill Cggarclscrabbley '35 SCHEDULE Opponent Where Played Date Marsellles ............... ......... 2 7 Streator 32 ................

'35 Team Personnel ARTHUR WILKINSON- Art proved to be the hero of the team this season. He . was a clever ball handler and could be depended upon to get a few points in every game. Age ineligibility prevented his playing after February 21 and also in the tournaments. Art will be missed greatly next season. FRANK JOHNSON-Frank played his first year of varsity basketball. Although he was small, he was very fast and could easily get around other players. This proved to be a great aid to the team. MAURICE LOSEY- Morry played both a great offensive and defensive game. He is a tall fellow, and was valuable to the team in taking the ball from the back- board. He was a consistent scorer and showed much pep and iight. Morry became ,ineligible at mid-season on ac- count of the eight semester rule. EDWARD MALLEY- Mike, another val- uable member on the team, played a cautious game at guard. He used his height to an advantage and also was l dependable in obtaining a few points. i Mike will also become ineligible next . season. Other players who received letters were: Bednar, Pile, Dixon, and Mohan, forwardsg Harkless and Dyas, guardsg and Wilhite, center. Special mention should be given to Andy Bednar, Wes Wilhite, Jumbo Dixon, and Ezra Dyas.

After a few weeks of hard practice, Mr. Purnell developed a team in which the school placed much hope. But owing to inexperience, they were unable to develop into a winning team. Although not winning any meets, two second places were won at Pontiac and La Salle. In the other meets, the opposing teams were too fast for the Red and White, and thus points were scarce. The stars of the team this season were Windus and Meils. Both boys were very fast and could be depended upon to score points. This year Meils broke the District record for the 880 yard run. In doing this he also broke the all time record of the school, formerly held by Karl Hein. The high point men of the team were Windus and Meils, scoring 50 and 38 points respectively. Meils will represent Streator in the 880 at the State Meet held at Champaign.

Play Days are held both in the fall and spring at which time girls from several schools get together for a day of fun and games. They are held for the purpose of stimulating good sportsmanship and good fel- lowship among the various G. A. A. organizations throughout the state. Our girls are placed on teams with those from other schools so a program of play, with, not against other girls is made possible. Each school pre- sents an original song and stunt, and reports concerning the work done during the year are given by the presidents of the various G. A. A. organ- izations. The local G. A. A. attended the Play Day at Spring Valley in October. The towns which participated in the events were La Salle, Streator and Spring Valley. Fifteen girls represented the Streator High School in the day's events. Streator also attended the spring Play Day held in Ottawa. Other schools attending the Play Day were Plano, Marseilles, La Salle and Ottawa. Fifteen Streator girls took part in the events. Four teams were organized and they competed in relays, baseball, stunts, and swimming. The Play Day came to a close with awards being given for each event. The awards were miniature bows, arrows, and quivers. l58l Ls-- Cgeardscrabbleg . -L L. E La... rr '35 Soccer The G. A. A. opened its 1934-1935 sports activities with the usual soccer tournament.

One of the most popular sports sponsored by the Girls' Athletic Association was inter-class basketball. The season opened in October with sixty girls reporting for the first practice. Class teams were organized and captains were elected. Lucille Shaw was elected manager. An elimination tournament was held. This year's tournament proved to be one of the most exciting in years, the teams playing against some keen competition. The final results showed that the Seniors were victor- ious winning three out of as many games. Telegraphic Meet The Annual Basketball Telegraphic Meet was held on March 18 with nineteen girls taking part. The tournament, which is the only competitive sport in which the girls compete, was held in the local gymfnasiums. Each girl entered is given twenty-four trials in which to make eight baskets. Those making the eight baskets receive forty points toward the G. A. A. The winners in our district, No. 5, were Tiskilwa, firstg Streator, second, and Peoria Central, third. This is the first time that Streator has won a second place although a few years ago they placed third. Streator is now the possessor of second and third place banners. The following schools were entered in district No. 53 Tiskilwa, Streator, Peoria Central, Leland, Eureka, Fisher, Gilman, Malden, Monticello, Normal University High, Princeton, Spring Valley, and Washington. The girls making the required eight baskets in twenty-four trials were: La Verne Peters, eight out of fourteen: Ronelva Shaw, eight out of eighteeng Eileen Carpenter, Lucille Shaw, Virginia Cameron, and Eileen Lapp eight out of twenty-four.

One of the most active clubs in our high school is the Girls' Athletic Association which is an organization planned to promote interest in girls' physical training, games, health, and sportsmanship. The goals of each member of the club are local and state awards. To obtain these a girl must earn a required number of points in athletics, scholarship, and sportsmanship. The first local award, the class numeral, is given for 600 points: the second local award, the school letter, is given for 1200 roints. The two state awards, the letter I and the miniature State of Illinois, are received for 1600 and 2000 points respectively. The following girls received awards: Class Numerals: Lucille Shaw, Eileen Carpenter, Betty Dice, Mar- garet Dawson, Pauhne Nycz, Frances Rozak, and Caroline Saflarski. School Letter: Jeanne Hart. First State Award: Lucille Fornero. Second State Award: Marcella Ploskunak. Although the G. A. A. is mainly an athletic club it also has its social side. An initiation party was given by the old members for the new mem- bers. At the Christmas party a grab bag was featured. An Easter party was held at which time a varied program was presented by the members and a luncheon was served in the Cafeteria. A picnic has also been planned for this semester at which time the awards will be given to the girls who have earned them. Officers for the coming year will be elected a.t the picnic. The officers for the present year are: Jeanne Hart, presi- dent: Lucille Fornero, vice-president: Lucille Shaw, secretary-treasurer: and Miss Weinstein, adviser. f60l REFLIECTIONS VV .

The annual Parents and Sons Banquet was a delightful and worthwhile get-together with Mr. J. E. Hill, state supervisor, as the main speaker. In September the club built a large two wheeled trailer in which fifteen boys took a trip to the International Livestock Show in Chicago. The group poultry project was carried out and winning boys will be awarded a two day educational trip to Wisconsin. The judging teams, again competing with other teams of this section at the section fair, won their share of awards, the poultry judging teams bringing homie the blue ribbon.

The club during the year sponsored intellectual enter- tainment by presenting two notables of the scientific world in lectures at the Good Will Hall. Major C. A. Fordney of the United States Marines gave an excellent description of his trip to the stratosphere which was sponsored by the National Geographical Society. At a later date the club sponsored a lecture by the late Dr. Edwin Brant Frost, noted astronomer of the University of Chicago and director emeritus of the Yerkes observatory at Williams Bay, Wisconsin.

The Scribblers' Club, a group of twenty seniors and post-graduate girls, reorganized in November under the guidance of Mrs. Ethel G. Howells. The purpose of the club is to encourage interest in correct expression in both oral and written composition, to develop a taste for good literature, and to promote friendly social relations among the members. Among the especially interesting features of the club program were a Witty essay written by Mabel Kennedy upon The Old-Fashioned Girl Versus the Modern Girl , a study of how to read a play and the reading of that clever modern play, Two Crooks and a Lady, by Eugene Pillotg a fascinating novelette, Title for Sale, consisting of nine chapters, writ- ten by Cecile Horaney, Ellen Joy Pittman, and Mary Ryang and a discus- sion of the Pulitzer prize novel for 1934, Lamb in His Bosom by Caroline Miller. For the April Meeting, the club decided to go in a group to the Plumb Theatre to see Charles Dickens' beloved story of David Copper- field. A lively discussion of Dickens and the play followed. Two candy sales were held, and the business meetings alternated with social meetings which were held in the evenings. As a suitable climax for the year's activities, the club will enjoy a Vagabond breakfast. A program befitting the sylvan setting is being prepared. It is with great reluctance that the club brings its work to a close. l 66 il . Cgeardscrabblo '35 First row: V. Mlf-i'FZ1y, K. Woll, R. Osborn, L. Cleal, M. Baer, M. Smith, H. Miller, L.

Membership in the club is open to all students who are inter- ested in art. The club was established to stimulate appreciation for art in all its contacts with life. This year the members decided to give up daubing and work on leather- craft, planning to sell the articles made, and in this manner obtain some of the funds necessary to meet expenses for the year. With this same end in view the club sponsored a very successful candy sale in the corridors. Several of the first meetings were spent in learning the fundamentals of leathercraft which were later applied to keytainers and coin purses. A few days before Christmas vacation the club was delightfully enter- tained in the home of Miss Hall. Such hilarity might be unbecoming to artists, but it is characteristic of the Daubers. The last meeting was devoted to the life and paintings of Grant Wood, contemporary American artist. Miss Hall gave a resume of this artist's talk which she had heard at the Western Arts Association this spring. Peg Baer told of Grant Wood's life, Sudie Essington read several articles about his work in connection with the P. W. A. art project, and Virginia Murray gave a very complete analysis of his painting, The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. The year's activities were ended withha rollicking good picnic at Marilla Park.

Membership in the club was open to any student who entered high school for the first time in September or in January. One of the most interesting features of the club programs was Miss Lola Lampe's talk on libraries and library work as a vocation. Early in the school year the club members conducted a successful candy sale. They also made plans to cooperate with the Sophomore English Club in the presentation of monthly programs.

At the final meeting of the year the club was again the guest of the Ancient History group. A very fine program was enjoyed following which refresh- ments were served. The club members proved themselves efficient candy makers, and held two successful candy sales during the year. The Sophomore Scoop, the club newspaper, which was distributed in December, was both inter- esting and amusing.

The fact that these young people have rounded out a most successful Post-graduate year in the local high school proves that they are ambitious students who wish to improve their education as much as it lies Within their power. The class, organized early in the year under the leadership of Miss Valeria Cook, the class adviser, gave one of the first dances on the school program. The guests danced to the tuneful music of Bud M0han's Colleg- ians, while novelty was provided for the occasion by announcing the newly-elected class oiiicers of the Post-graduates at the intermission. At some of the meetings plans were discussed for a reunion and alumni dance in 1940. It's hoped that this suggestion will be followed by other classes of the school and the event will be an annual affair. The class intends to complete the year with a picnic.

Miss Finney and Mrs. Hill The purpose of the Tri-Hi-Y Club is to promote, maintain, and extend throughout the school and the community high standards of Christian character. The club, open to all high school girls, was organized at the beginning of the school year with a membership of fifty girls. The advisers chosen were Miss Finney, the girls' director of the Y. M. C. A., and Mrs. James Hill. At this meeting the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and various other chairmen were elected. Supper meetings were held every second Tuesday in the Y Grill. At these meetings talks were given on interesting subjects by both local and out-of-town people. Among the speakers were Mr. A. H. Anderson who spoke on Mexico and Mrs. Roswell Pettit, of Ottawa, who told of her experiences while traveling in Europe. There were also many special entertainments in the programs given, which included vocal solos by Jeanne Hill, specialty dances by Betty Jane Nash of Ottawa, and readings by Helen Whiting. This was the first time for a number of years that the club has been an active organization in Streator. A continuance of the organization during the next school year is probable, due to the enthusiastic spirit of the girls. l'77l Ufafdscfabbza '35 V781 ll-llardscrabblce Staff EDITORS Margaret Maras John Marx Senior Editors Peg Baer Betty Jane Roe Kenneth Garver Bill Davidson Organization Peggy Lloyd Gerald Jacobson Sports Lucille Fornero Benny Nicholas Calendar James Jones Art Ellen Joy Pittman Elizabeth List Photography Bob Windus Russell Nary Typists Elaine Reynolds Eleanor Mateer Leona Quaife BUSINESS MANAGERS Mary Lois Shaughnessy Stanley Sendecke ADVISERS Miss Dorsey ..........,l.....l..,...,,....,.l.

Cgeardscrabblo '35 Hardscrabble Early in the fall of 1934 a group of efficient Seniors began campaignp ing for Hardscrabble subscriptions. In December the Hardscrabble staff was announced and work on the book itself was begun immediately. Only the members of the staff can realize the great amount of work and time that must be given to the shaping of this annual. The first problem to be faced was finding the money needed to finance the book. Each member of the senior class pledged a dollar in case our funds were not sufficient. The co-business managers worked diligently with these matters and were aided by the solicitors who collected payments for them. By the middle of January enough subscriptions had been obtained to insure sufficient funds to start editing the Hardscrabble. At the beginning of the school semester the literary and art staffs- were hard at work. It was decided to use light as the theme of our book. While the art editors spent many busy days designing and cutting the linoleum blocks that illustrated the theme, the rest of the staff assembled material which would present accurate pictures of our school life during 1934-35. They also hoped to secure for our school another excellent rating. The typists also were particularly helpful in their willingness to work at all times. We wish to thank the student body and the faculty for their help in publishing this book. HARDSCRABBLE SOLICITORS First. row: H. Pollak, L. Katcher, B. Samors, M. Guhl. R. Osborne, E. Martin, R.

Although this was his first year in Streator, he soon became very popular among the students. He has worked earnestly with the members of the Muisc Department and has accomplished much in the following divisions: Band, Second Band, Orchestra, Girls' Chorus, Mixed Chorus, and Boys' Glee. MR. SCI-IRAMM Band 1934-35 The Streator Township High School Band under the leadership of its president, Charles Arnold, and under the direction of Mr. Schramm, has made rapid strides toward fame. The band membership for 1934-35 was one hundred eight. The band opened its season early by playing at various home football games. T. D. Meyer performed excellently as drum major. The band led a parade through the down town business section last fall and also headed a Memorial Day parade this spring. Several patriotic selections were played for these occasions. The more mischievous members of the band organized a Clown Band and German Band. They performed for the amusement of the spectators between several basketball games. The German Band also took part in the annual Y. M. C. A. Showboat. The concert band, containing eighty members, gave two formal con- certs during the school year: the First Annual Thanksgiving Concert on Tuesday, November 27, 19345 and a combined concert with the Ottawa Boys' Chorus on Wednesday, April 3, 1935. The most important numbers used in the concerts were: William Tell Overture .......... .......... R ossini Spiritual Rivers .......,...... ..........

It also contributed numbers at the Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises. The Mixed Chorus and the Boys' Chorus assisted at the Spring Concert. A girls' quartet, con- sisting of Lola Johnson, Marjorie Carpenter, Jean Merrell, and Dorothy Benckendorf, sang at the meetings of the Rotary Club, the Booster Club of Kernan, and the Parent-Teachers Association.

Marian Teas HBABBITT S BOY I IRISH STEW I On the evening of April 11, 1935, the Junior class presented two one act plays, Irish Stew and Babbitt's Boy. Irish Stew provided an amusing scene in which the characters showed their aptitude for comedy roles as well as their mastery of the Irish brogue. A scene typical of the difficulties encountered in many American homes was that portrayed by the clever presentation of Babbitt's Boy. Miss Blanche Robbins aided in molding the players into their respec- tive characterizations. i841 1111..- -cgfardscrabblo .

I wi Cgeardsdabblo '35 OPEN HOUSE The annual Open House was held on May 22. Hundreds of people viewed the work of the various departments of the school. The entire faculty was present to welcome the visitors and explain the work of their respective departments. Many interesting projects were found through- out the school. The academic subjects-Spanish, Latin, French, English, history, mathematics, commercial subjects, and science offered many notebooks, illustrations, maps, and charts. Exhibits in the agriculture department included pure bred stock, calves, sheep, pigs, chickens, and other barnyard fowl, raised by the pupils. The woodshop exhibits included over a hundred articles: namely, tables, chests, benches, small articles, and reconditioned furniture. The machine shop exhibits included aluminum handled screw drivers, examples of gear cutting, and thread cutting. Under the supervision of the instructor, a group of boys were making bolts and screw drivers. In the printing department students were setting type, and operating the presses. An extensive exhibit of the work of the department including notebook covers, programs, school job printing, greeting cards, announcements, and linoleum block printing was on display in the gymnasium. The mechanical drawing department exhibited many fine examples of orthographic projection, geometrical constructions, insometric and perspec- tive drawings: conventions and drawings of machine parts, and house plans and elevations in architectural drawings. In the art room was an interesting exhibit of lettering, beginning and advanced design, color theory and color harmony applications, figure and pose drawings, perspective drawings, posters advertising school activities, travel posters, costume design, magazine covers, water-color and tempera paintings, leather craft, and linoleum block printing. One of the features of the home economics exhibit was a style show at which the girls modelled the dresses they had made during the year. Notebooks, charts of textiles, and examples of weaving were on display in the sewing rooms. Exhibits in the cooking laboratories included the following: food units, breakfast, dinner, luncheon, canning and preserving: food specialities, cakes, cookies, salad dressings, deepfat frying, and note- books of the foods and home management classes. Miss Weinstein: How many ribs have you, Margaret? M. Eoff: I don't know. I'm so gosh darn ticklish I never could count them. .1-L.1....i-1 L. List: Ain't Nature grand? D. Comfort: How c-c-come? L.

The cafeteria is open and ready for business. 18-Seniors in the Home Room went in for politics in a big way. Jack Jacobowitz was re-elected to the presidency. Plans were made for a victory dance after the Ottawa game to be given here. '35 CALENDAR SEPTEMBER 21-The game with Ottawa, here, OCTOBER -Three cheers! The I. V. A. teachers must discuss their common problems occasionally, much to the delight of the students at large. The game with Central here, in the evening, livened up our football season somewhat. The proved disastrous to Streator's hopes for an initial victory. We were swamped by a score of 26 to 0. Frank Johnson and Jim Cain suffered injuries which kept them out of play for the majority of the re- maining games of the season. After the game we collected in the gym to enjoy what was meant to be a victory dance. Bulldogs were victorious over a strong Central team by a score of 14 to 0. 26-The Junior hop provided fun NOVEMBER The pep meeting, disrupting classes during the late morn- ing, enabled many religiously inclined students to hear their respective ministers deliver an encouraging pep talk instead of a gospel. The Honor Society Dance was a success from every stand point. -The Manual game, the last of the season, left us looking very melancholy as we gath- ered in the gym to enjoy, as well as we could, the G. A. A. dance. We were beaten by a score of 19 to 0. -The national holiday, Armis- tice Day, was observed by the calling of a general assembly. The program was enlivened by a brief but very interesting talk from Mr. Uebler. He left us with a deeper thought of the meaning of this day lf enough to last an evening, George Greener's lolipop lasted the entire dance. The door prize pepped things up. than we had before listening to him. Taps were blown at eleven o'clock. 13-The Spanish Club's candy sale, first of the season, went over with a bang. Many students were not up to par for the next several days due to severe cases of indigestion. 14-The Commercial Club went in- to action and the result was an evening's entertainment at a dance in the gym. The Paul Jones led by Mr. Charlton, dean of boys, succeeded in its purpose. The dancers were thoroughly mixed up in true style. 17-The faculty all journeyed to svj conference at Champaign. The meeting was a reprieve to fatigued students who were in need of a day's rest. The meeting gave us a break, but . A .A,,cU'ea1'dscrabbleJ Y ,s the teachers themselves were not given an opportunity to rest. -The Home Economics Club dance found favor among us students as many of us en- joyed a delightful dance to the strains of music by the Col- '35 Kelvyn Park High School look- mg for new fields to conquer. 27-The people of Streator were given a special treat on this evening. Mr. Schramm's high school band gave us their in- terpretation of several musical masterpieces. leglans' 29-30-It's a good thing Friday Well, Well, well.

DECEMBER -The Spanish Club candy sale was greeted by a famished student body. The only thing that is the matter with these frequent sales is a noticeable lack of merchandise. -The dance given by the Senior class with the music furnished by the school's popular young orchestra, the Collegians, was enjoyed by a fair crowd of dancers. -Candy sales seem to be coming quite regularly, thanks to the sweet tooth of many of our students. The Freshmen spon- sored this one. 21-The Pekin game finished school for the year. We lost a close game by the score of 31 to 29. When we come back after New Years, we will have to learn to write 1935 instead of 1934. 28-Our last game during 1934 was JANUARY -Another candy sale was spon- sored by the Dauber's Club to- day. Even though artists are reputed to be able only to draw, we found out that many of them could make good candy. -The basketball game with FEBRUARY -The Scribbler's Club activities resulted in a candy sale which was patronized by the school at large. Due to the alluring girls assisting at the sale, it was a success. -Well, last night we were told how the world looks from ten i ssj a hard one to lose. The Bull- dogs were defeated by Bloom- ington, the score being 32 to 26. The score was close but not close enough. Onarga gave us an opportunity to see Al Lundberg in action again. This evening he devoted his attention to making points against Streator instead of for us. Dale's men proved inferior to the Onarga players, but we took our beating 32 to 16, like true sportsmen. miles up by Major Fordney, eminent stratosphere balloon- ist.

It was rumored 1-The dance sponsored by the 51 Sophomore class was enjoyed by enough people to fill the gym. The music was furnished by Sandry's orchestra. Some of the more liberal Fresh- men donated enough candy for the class to sponsor a candy sale. I wonder who the Freshman was that Pops Dale found running around the cor- ridor with a plate of divinity candy? 7-Streator started conquering in the district tournament, so a pep meeting was called late in the afternoon. Mr. Heald, popular Y executive, distin- guished himself by singing a Streator High loyalty that was new to all of us. 12-Mrs. J. E. Waters, accom- 2 panied by her husband, gave us a graphic description of Russia u n d e r Communistic rule. After listening to her, we can more fully appreciate our government. '35 that the clerks ate most of the proits. 28-The candy made by the fas- MARCH 14 cinating members of the Soph- omore English Club looked very appetizing, and with the aid of the girls, many bashful Freshmen parted with hard earned money. -Candy manufactured by mem- bers of the Spanish Club seems to be quite the rage today. The club realized a good profit. 18-Scribblers seem to be able to make good candy as well as to do good English work as we all found out today. 28-Our second annual Future APRIL Babbitt's Boy and Irish 23 Stew, two one-act plays pre- sented by the Junior class, were very interesting and hu- morous. Everyone must be a Babbitt these days. 15-19-Oh hum! Nothing to do this week as spring vacation has at last rolled around. When we come back, we will have re- newed vigor and be ready for action. I 26 891 Farmer Parent and Son Ban- quet again was a very interest- ing and successful occasion. The food, provided by the boys, prepared in the cafeteria, and served by the Home Eco- nomics Club girls was very appetizing. John Harber, as toastmaster, introduced the speakers, one of whom was Mr. J. E. Hill, Illinois State Super- visor of Vocational Agricul- ture, of Springfield. The par- ents were thus afforded an opportunity to become better acquainted with our agricul- ture department. -The French chefs came for- ward with very tempting vari- eties of candy. The made- moiselles were very enticing so many boys and girls bought candy. -Spring is here! The Freshman dance decorations symbolized spring in the nth degree. The crowd danced to music by Fred Price and his orchestra. Cgeardsmabblo '35 MAY La Salle day gave Streator High students an opportunity to visit the L. P. O. High School-Junior College. We were permitted to leave school and visit L. P. O. Junior-Col- lege as prospective students. 11 11-The A n n u a l J unior-Senior prom transformed the gym in- to a picturesque Dutch vil- lage. The environment was so realistic with the windmill and scenes that one would al- most make himself believe he was in Holland itself. We danced to the music of Danny Gay and his orchestra im- -ported from Champaign. 14--The G. A. A. girls sponsored a dance at the Y where a large crowd danced to splendid music. 17-The Sophomore class candy sale, last of the season, was the only one at which there was enough merchandise to last throughout the day. squads, was held in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, May 21. The banquet was sponsored by the City Club this year, and they hope to make it an annual affair. Letters were presented to many of the members by Lowell Dale, athletics director. Coach Craig Ruby of the Uni- versity of Illinois, was the guest speaker. He spoke of the early history of basketball a n d the important points which go to make up a basket- ball team, namely, material, coach, and school spirit. 22-The open house tonight at high school enabled any and all persons to see the products of our high school which were displayed for the entire evening in various class rooms and shops throughout the school. The style show given by members of the home man- agement classes was a com- plete success and showed what the girls could do under sup- ervision. 31-The Senior dance at night, the 21--The annual Athletic Banquet, honoring members of th e football, basketball, and track last class dance of the school year, proved that the Seniors know how to give a dance. JUNE 2-Baccalaureate services were conducted at the Park Presby- terian Church by Reverend E. W. Smith. 4-The annual class night exer- cises were carried out with finesse.
