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

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.
