L. .Tordan 0 Mr. Jordan came to Streator in 1933 from Waukegan, Illinois, where he was an assistant superintendent of the secondary schools. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Illinois in engineer- ing and industrial courses. He earned a Master of Arts degree at the University of Chicago, in education and school administration. 0 Mr. Jordan was principal of Streator High School for a period of three yearsg during these years he did much for the general advancement and good of the school. He took many steps in raising the standards of scholarship and qualifications of leadership of the student body. He served the needs of the majority and arranged the curriculum to offer opportu- nities to every individual. Mr. Jordan, in the fall of 1935, resigned to take another position as principal of the du Pont Manual Training High School in Louisville, Kentucky. 0 The vacancy created by this resignation was very capably filled by Lowell Dale, who was acting principal until Mr. H. K. Whittier was appointed to the position. Mr. Dale has been head coach of Streator High School for seventeen years. He has won much popularity among the students and townspeople. Thus he was well qualified to accept the leader- ship of the school. Mr. Dale worked earnestly and diligently and is to be priaised upon the manner in which he so eiiiciently assumed this respon- si iity. Mr. Lowell Dale 10 ll Mr. H. K. Whittier Principal 0 Mr. H. K. Whittier became principal of the Streator Township High School in December, 1935. He came to Streator in 1932 to become superintendent of the elementary schools. He still holds this position in conjunction with that of high school principal. Mr. Whittier earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at the Western Illinois State Teachers Col- lege and his Master of Arts degree at the University of Iowa. Before coming to Streator, he held administrative positions in both elementary and secondary school sys- tems. Since coming to Streator, Mr. Whittier has become well known in the community. During the brief period he has been at his new assignment, he has shown himself to be capable and well qualified for his work. We know he will be very successful in the future. The Principal s Message O There is all the difference in the world between becoming well informed about science or history or literature or agri- culture or any of our organized subject matter fields, and becoming a better and greater personality because of having studied and worked within these fields. Real education takes place when there is a development of the individual in his abilities, skills, appreciations, attitudes, understandings, judgments, in his personality growth. To provide the oppor- tunities for such education is the function of the high school. The courses of study, the equipment, the activities, and the efforts of the school as a whole are merely the means or materials available through which the individual himself may promote his own education.

MILDRED GRENNAN Secretary MARGARET TKACH Secretary School History 0 Since 1875, the Streator Township High School has been a vital and valiant institution in the community of Streator. Through its portals have passed the young men and women who have played a great part in not only the history of our city, but also in the history of the state and federal government. 0 To properly prepare these young people to meet the problems they have had to encounter, the school has always endeavored to maintain high standards of educational and teaching principles. In 1882, the first actual Streator Township High School was dedicated. Previous to this date, there had been no definite school building. The high school of 1882, accommo- dated only four hundred students, and consequently as years progressed the immense growth in the size of the enrollment necessitated a larger building. Therefore in 1902, a southwest wing was constructed. In 1926, the main portion of the old building was replaced by a new addition, which the students of Streator are today attending. At the same time this addi- tion was built, it was fully intended that an auditorium be erected also, but it was later discovered that financial difficulties prevented this step. In keeping with these same ideals, a new addition is to be constructed in 1936, and will of course be a progressive step in a more effective prepara- tion of the youth of Streator for citizenship. This construction will be the largest public building project launched in the city for more than a decade, and is being made possible through a government loan of 3101,980. The total cost of the new construction is estimated at S226,666. The edifice will be of fireproof construction and will consist of a basement, class rooms, and an auditorium. The class room portion provides for nine instruction rooms, four work-shops, four laboratories, and one lecture room. I The auditorium has long been needed for a more efficient and modern school program. It will be used for assemblies, commencement exercises, and for community purposes. The auditorium is to be 86 by 128 feet and will provide a seating capacity for 1,588 persons. According to the spon- sors of the project, thirty-nine weeks will be required for the completion of the work. 0 Although the class of 1936 would have liked to partake of the advan- tages oiered to them by the new construction, they have had countless pleasures throughout their four years, and leave the school for the future students of the S. H. S. Addition Now Under Construction I, Auditorium and Class Rooms- 14 l First High School Erected 1882 Addition 1902 'il l School History 0 Five general courses were taught this year: The college preparatory, for students desiring to attend colleges the commercial, for students pursuing general business courses, the industrial, for those interested in industrial and mechanical pursuits, the home-making for girls desiring training in the arts of home-makingg and the vocational agriculture course, for students who intend to follow farming as a life's occupation. There has been no variation in the courses taught this year. ' 0 The Streator Township Adult Evening School was again conducted this year under the supervision of Mr. Linden L. Mulford. The total enroll- ment was approximately 180 students. Although the classes were rela- tively smaller this year in proportion to the classes of last year, it is evident that a great amount of good was accomplished by this comparatively new feature. Courses were given in the following departments: academic, com- mercial, shop and laboratory, and home-making. 0 Mr. H. K. Whittier, superintendent of the Streator Township Grammar Schools, was appointed principal of the Streator High School, to replace Mr. C. L. Jordan, who moved to Louisville, Kentucky, shortly after the school period began. The class of 1936 was welcomed into high school their freshman year by Mr. Jordan, who, in 1932, first was principal of the Streator High School. Mr. Whittier, assisted by Mr. Dale, has done remarkably well in promoting a smooth running school program. 0 The senior class experienced the great misfortune of losing one of their senior advisers, Miss Halsey. Miss Halsey, who left the Streator High School during the first semester, has been missed by everyone. Her posi- tion as senior adviser, however, has been very capably filled by Miss Miller, who has assisted Mr. Edwards in the supervision of the class of 1936. Miss Sullivan replaced Miss Halsey as teacher of the secretarial courses. Other vacancies on the faculty this year were filled by Mr. Wilson, Mr. Martin, Mr. Lloyd, Miss Genseke, Mr. Magierski, and Mr. Westlake. A vacancy in the office force, left by Miss Grennan, has been filled by Miss Kennedy. 0 These steps mark the progress of Streator High School as a training ground for Streator's future citizenry, the developments and expansions in the various departments show a definitely forward movement toward the high goal of starting the youth of Streator out on life's road properly equipped and properly trained. .WKX N., . --1 - -,X . ' x ff' 1 1 l ,x f,-' Wim l ,wi i Mrs. Howells . 0 To Mrs. Ethel G. Howells, head of the English depart- ment, whose years of unselfish service to the school have been interrupted by illness, we wish to express our heart- felt appreciation. Mrs. Howells, in spite of impaired health, courageously continued her work last year, but was forced to take a leave of absence in the fall, when she was unable to return to school. Respected and admired as a teacher par excellence, Mrs. Howells has in addition been loved by her pupils as 2 gracious and kindly person, who inspired in them the highest ideals. We are hoping to have Mrs. Howells with us again soon. Board of Education Mr. I. B. Patterson President Mr. Klee Chamberlain Secretary Dr. Albert Roberts Mr. E. I.

To-wit: All- Staters second and third years: varsity football: Dramatics, Latin, and Span- ish clubs, brilliant historian of the junior class, rather nervous Rotary representative, and illustrious member of the Hardscrabhle staff. LEONARD GREENFIELD Tokie Wcll if something does go wrong and Leonard isn't rated Elo, he carries a brow-beaten expression for days. As Father Time tears up calendar pads, we expect wonderful results from Leonard. He aided the class on the Junior Prom committee and the basketball team. 'I'he Latin, French, and Meteorological clubs also claimed his attention. Leonard was chosen Rotary representa- tive his senior year. GEORGIA HALL Georgia has not been with us during the past semester. Seemingly preferring housekeeping rather than the finishing of her high school career, she entered the rcalms of matrimony several months ago. 4' X L,,.. RGINIA ANNE HARCHARIK 'CT' JA nAggien Aggie is a jolly sort of a person. always ready to join in the fun. yet she docsn't neglect hcr work, a fact proved by her excellent grades.

She was also active in sports, bein! 8 member of the G. A. A. for two years. CK S. HART uaudu What a welcome thing his sunny smile isl What a reward it has paid him in friends. The girls, too. demand Bud's attention. and along with his duties as president of the Hi-Y, vice-president of the Dramatics club, and manager of the football team. he seems to have been able to save a little time for them. ARTHUR L. HATZER oscrappy., Brother Joe could probably give the best reason as to why Art is called Scrappy. Perhaps in honor of his excellent Spencerian hand, Art was made secretary of the Dramatics club his senior year. In off hours he enter- tains himself tand everyone clsel with his exquisite piano playing and Elmo Tanner whistling. MAIZIE HEINZ It is hard to believe that Maivic is a transfer from Milford High School so integral a part has she become of our class. Class dance. Junior Prom com- mittee, Science club, G. A. A., basket- ball, and soccer teams were a few of her outstanding extra-curricular activities. For an ingication of Mazie's character. one need nly point to the number of her friends. Jinks Interested in cvcrything and interesting to everyone. .links has carried her en- thusiasm into thc Commercial. Latin. Home Economics. and Music clubs, as well as thc baseball team and the G. A. A. The most amazing thing Vir- ginia knows of her sister Ag:-Zim-'s devotion to those darn textbooks. JEANNE PATRICIA HART Jeanne was an obvious choice as the outstanding girl athIcte, for she cm- braced every one ot' the many oppor- tunities Miss Weinstein otfers: fi. A. A., baseball, basketball, soccer, telegraphie meet, volleyball, and archery. Jeanne was a member of the Hartlscrabblc staff, and the Latin. and Science clubs. Anyone in thc class who has not known Jeanne has let one of the worth-while advantages of our high school ycars slip by. ELIZABETH HEFFNER Elizabeth was a sunny message from Berkeley. California, joining us her senior year. Her cxccllcnt scholarship and her interesting personality have made us wish that she had come much sooner. Shc joined the Dramatios and Tri-Hi-Y organizations this year. RUTH ELIZABETH HELAN DER Ruthie Musical. linguistic. and literary, Ruth was a member of thc Latin and French clubs. the Hardscrabble staff, and the Mixed Glee club.

She was a member of the Commercial and Home Economic clubs, and of the senior class dance committees. JOHN FRANCIS JAMES Jesse We wonder where .lcsse gets all his jokes since his supply never seems lo diminish. At least we hope that they won't. He was a member of the funn. mercial club :luring his sophomore year. and also participated in class basketball his first and second years. Most ol' his spare time is spent at the Times Press. RONALD FRANCIS JARDINE ERWIN H. JAUCH Beans Nouns, as he is called by his pals. is known as evcryone's friend. Man is at creature of moods. but no one has been able to erase the kindly good- liumorcd smile from llcan's face. He is a fellow who must always get up on the right side of thc bell.

Erwin was a member of the Science and Physics clubs. and also won honors in thc commercial depart- ments. KATHERINE E. JOHNSON ..Kay.. The Commercial, Science. and English clubs have claimed Kay's extra-curri- cular attention. Though Katherine is probably the quieter half of the John- son children. her genial smile, tolera- tion, and wit have made her no less well liked. VERA JONEN Here is another person to whom credit is due for the success of the senior class dance. Vera has been a well- oualified member of the Commercial club since its organization. Your best wishers can only hope, Vera, that others do no worse for you than you do for them.

Surprise one climbing more and higher eurbings in bigger and faster motor-cycles is not his only aspiration! Ile has a dilettantt-'s taste for dra- matics, music. and literature. but his destiny will probably be shaped by the camel's hair brush. However. we do not. know whether to watch the comic supplement or the Louvre for our tal- ented elassmate's creations. E KM ETZ .loe is a uuiet lad who is very brilliant in his studies. His favorite study in his senior year was chemistry, so he joined the Science club and was an active member of that orizanization.

LIONEL MACMILLAN Debator, machinist, musician. radio expert, and scientist, Lionel has a wide field from which to choose his future occupation, but our guess is that his musical talent will prevail. He has been a member of the band. the orches- tra, and the Music club. Given any instrument and five seconds to adapt himself to it, Lionel will set feet a-dancing: and heads a-bobbing. Amos has been a regular member of the Boys' and Mixed Glen clubs his last two years. and was a member of thi. Science club his first year. His outside activities, so he claims, consist of four black eyos. a bump on the fore- head, and a broken arni.

BAYSINGER JOHNSON PURCLLI IOLLIARD GRANT KLEIN Junior History 0 We arrived in the fall of '33, bewildered by the labyrinth of corridors and the intricacies of program schedules. Then, subduing the call of the wild after our summer respite, we assiduously sought to master our text- books. To guide our erring footsteps, we elected the following officers: Dean Raymond, presidentg Ralph Harkless, vice-president, Rosemary Katcher, secretaryg William Hombaker, treasurerg and Miss Purcell and Mr. Baysinger, advisers. The Freshie Frolic evinced such a convivial and festive spirit that even the most supercilious seniors felt compelled to declare in appreciation, Ah, you flavor everything, you are the vanilla of society. 0 As sophomores we were better qualified to enter school aHairs more deeply. Exercising the sagacious judgment gained from our added experi- ence, we elected the following class oiiicers: George Nichols, presidentg Robert Harrison, vice-president, Robert Ryon, secretary, and William Moore, treasurer. Remembering that variety is the mother of enjoyment, we participated in many extra-curricular activities and were well repre- sented in music work, clubs, and athletics. We sponsored several candy sales, invariably successful, and two class dances, which elicited praise from all who attended. 0 Juniors at last! When Disraeli said, Almost everything that is great has been done by youth, he was, of course, referring to upperclassmen. To succeed their illustrious predecessors we elected these officers: Robert Grant, president, Thomas Klein, vice-presidentg Lola Johnson, secretary, and Robert Folliard, treasurer. 0 We immediately sought recognition through diligence in school work and proficiency in sports. Our success was proved by the number of juniors on the honor roll and on the teams. We were represented on the varsity football by Folliard, Harkless, Klein, Pearceg and in basketball by Dixon, Grant, Hall, Minneci, and Wilhite on the varsity, and Adams, Matuszyk, Moore, Repko, and Ryon on the All-Staters. To aid our treasury substan- tially, we sponsored two more candy sales and four dances, with gratifying success. On May 15 the activities of our junior year were culminated with the presentation of the annual Prom, in honor of the senior class, held in the gymnasium in the atmosphere of a southern plantation.

R ichard Keating KOLLAR SKINNER SWANSON BRIX FARRINGTON KEATING Freshman History Dear sophomores, juniors, seniors, and whatnot: 0 Trusting that you have studied your own picture thoroughly, and are now scanning this book for the second time, we'd be much obliged if you'd stop a bit and read this first class printed matter. Perhaps the first time we came into your exclusive world was when we trod on your toes, but you must understand that we all make blunders and there were 425 freshmen to do it. 0 However, we chose some people who we think made good representa- tives of our class. As president, we chose James Farrington, vice-presi- dent, Helen Kollars secretary, John Skinner, treasurer, Richard Keating, and our helpful advisers are Mrs. Swanson and Mr. Brix. 0 Not only did we have class officers to keep up our reputation, but we also had our own freshman basketball team which was composed of more than twelve players. Our track team boasted some fine players, too. 0 Last November we gave a hard times party in the gymnasium which produced splendid results. Besides holding the record for having the largest attendance at our class party of the year, we also netted the largest profits in our candy sale given last March. Encouraged thus far, we decided to give another party in April, mostly for the mid-year fresh- men who were trying to make good in a strange place. You may be sure that the mid-years appreciated it, and I think that you upper-classmen will have to admit that we freshmen do give jolly good parties! 0 Yours respectfully fwith a drop of arroganceb, Doriot Anthony.

History 0 The beginning of the 1935 post-grad cycle was the election of officers. Politics played a large part in this election. The G. O. P. party-Grads of Past, made a complete landslide with the exception of one officer. The officers elected were: president, Mary Lois Shaughnessyg vice-president, Art Eliasg secretary, Albert Johnsong treasurer, Tom Walsh. 0 Following the election of officers, the class voted upon advisers. An unanimous vote was cast for Miss Louise Dorsey and Mr. Walter Notman. 0 The class gave their annual dance on October 4. As usual it was a huge success.

Known throughout the state for his great basketball teams and genial dominating personality, Mr. Dale has never failed to place a polished basketball team upon the floor, and a fighting powerful football squad upon the field. As a character builder he has fulfilled the other requirement demanded from a director of athletics. One always knows that there are no laggards on a Dale coached team. This year. his eighteenth as director of athletics, Coach Dale fulfilled the expectations of the fans, who claim him to be a master strategist. Though he had only fair material to i work with in basketball and football, he kept the fans on edge all season by unexpected victories and hair-raising l surprises. During his time at Streator, Mr. Dale's teams l have won three Big Twelve conference championships and l fifteen district tournaments. Mr. Purnell 0 Though Mr Purnell has left Streator, he will be remembered by all who served under him as a fine coach, and as a true gentleman. Mr Purnell assisted Mr. Dale in football for the first part of the season, and then took over the coaching of the cross-country team. His success was phenomenal. Streator had not been represented with a cross-country team for several years, but Mr. Purnell produced an undefeated team in his first year. Mr. Magierski 0 Coach Magierski is well known to Streatorites. Many still recall the days when he used to star in football, basketball, and baseball at Streator High School. In his capacity of assistant to Mr. Dale in football and coach of the freshman basketball team, and as track coach, Mr. Magierski has proved a fine handler of boys. Liked by everyone, yet respected by all, he has the heartiest wishes of everyone that he may continue his successes. Mr. Westlake I Mr. Westlake came to Streator from Dekalb, where he made a great record as a basketball player. Popular among the athletes, he has achieved instantaneous success as assistant coach of the varsity and all-stater teams. Known by the team as Benny, Mr. Westlake has managed to inspire the men serving under him with much of his personality and pep. Mr. West- lake is quite a good looking gentleman and dangerously threatens Mr. Dale's supremacy as the best looking coach at Streator High School. MAGIERSKI WESTLAKE PURNELI.

Football Season OTTAWA 6 - STREATOR 0 0 This is a game that will long be remembered by Streator fans. The Streator players were out to avenge a bad beating the year before, and though they fought hard, were finally forced to submit. As far as actual play was concerned, the teams were equally matched, but superior punting on the part of Ottawa kept the Bulldogs with their backs against the wall constantly. DANVILLE 20 - STREATOR 0 0 Streator played a great game against the team that was eventually to win the Big Twelve championship. They pitched courage against experi- ence, but Danville with its great backfield star, Rusty Owens proved too much. PEORIA CENTRAL 19-STREATOR 0 O Peoria flashed a tricky passing attack that bewildered the Streator boys. Peoria, out to avenge a defeat the year before, started out with a vengeance and Streator never got to functioning properly. DECATUR 6 - STREATOR 6 0 Streator flashed a great passing attack in this game. With George Yanek throwing them all over the lot, Streator came into its own and proved its potential ability. Andy Bednar scored for Streator on a pass. As Decatur scored its touchdown on a fiuke punt which rolled over the goal line after having been touched by a Streator player, this game was counted as a moral victory. 471 Football Season PEKIN 12 - STREATOR 0 I With Pekin flashing a great attack, Streator suffered a reversal of form in its homecoming game. The game was closer than the score indi- cates, for several times Streator was inside the ten yard line, and the gun for the half found them inside the yard line with a first down. PEORIA MANUAL 0-STREATOR 6 0 This is the game that upset the dope bucket and dumbfounded experts all over the state. Peoria Manual, the Big Twelve champs, came to Streator with a team that was touted to win in a walk. They met a fighting, classy team that sent them home thoroughly subdued. It was a game that will long live in the memories of all who saw it, a game that made football history in Streator High School. It was Gene Bertiaux who leaped up to spear the winning pass over the goal line to gain the precious six points. o Second Football Team 0 The second football team played two games this year, both against Ottawa. They won on the home field, six to nothing, and lost at Gttawa, twenty to nothing. Harrison accounted for the winning touchdown in the game played at Streator. Many of the boys showed promise, and should furnish Coach Dale good material for future teams. . Streator vs. Pekin ,,....,s...... .., . .. . ....1...,- , ,. . . . --.W . YW..- a ,...-. .. . . ... , - ly -..mb Graduating S Men CAPTAIN ROBERT SMITH O Bob ended his high school football career in a blaze of glory, leading his team to the great triumph over Peoria Manual. He was a great captain, and as such proved him- self a true leader. It was his inspiration that elevated the team to great heights, and his calm clever play in the line made him a bulwark that the team could depend upon. ANDREW BEDNAR 0 In the first year Andy ever donned a football suit for Streator, he proved himself to be a star of the first order. His speed and alertness made him a hard man to stop, and at catching passes he was unequaled. Andy could always be depended upon to reel off several, long, sensational runs. GEORGE ASCHINGER 0 Geordy was a constant inspiration to the team with his cleverness and fine play. Though he was in his first year of competitive football, George played his position at guard like a veteran. He was recognized for his energetic play, and was consistently giving his all. ALBERT SIROTNAK 0 Al was one of the grittiest, nerviest, little players ever to hold down a regular berth on a Streator team. Small, as football players go, size proved no handicap to his ambition, and if you remember, it was Al who stopped Butsch, Manual's mighty fullback, in 1934. Defensive play wasn't the only thing Al shone in, for he was a great pass receiver, and could always be depended upon for a couple of yards through the line. E481 491 Graduating S Men RAYMOND PEPPLER O Ray used his height to advantage in catching passes. He was a crafty defensive end, and few plays went around his side of the line. Though he was handicapped by injuries, he performed well in all the games in which he played. EUGENE BERTIAUX I Genie was good enough to play on any man's team. It was he who caught that pass that won for Streator against Peoria Manual, and perhaps, when all else is forgotten about Gene as a football player, this will be remembered. However, it is going to be hard for some to forget his great defensive play at end, and the fighting courage he always carried into a game with him. Gene was given honorable mention on the Big Twelve All Star Team. FRANK J ON EN 0 Coach Dale was looking for a big husky lineman this year, and found that Frank filled the bill. A smart ball player, and though his friends call him Boner, he was clever at opening holes, and made few mistakes in his position at guard. JOSEPH WEST 0 Joe used his speed and ability to snag passes to advan- tage. Playing his second year of varsity competition, he was a veteran whom his teammates could depend upon. It is going to take a mighty good end to fill Joe's shoes. EDWARD DYAS 0 Bud was a courageous center with a fighting heart. His spirit kept the team on its toes at all times. He was a good ball-handler, and few of his passes went awry. It will be hard to find a center to fill the gap he leaves in the line. l Varsity I' t C h Westlake, Edward Hall.

Basketball Season 0 You would have a hard time trying to prove to anybody in Streator who is a loyal follower of sporting events that we didn't have an outstanding basketball team this year. Though the team was a consistent hot and cold outfit, its mercurial rises to the heights came consistently in crucial games. Peoria Central and Decatur will attest to this fact. The victory Streator scored over Decatur was especially notable, as Decatur went on to win the state championship. 0 Though Streator finished only in a tie with Springfield for fourth place in the Big Twelve Conference, it rated as one of the most feared teams. It was Streator who knocked Peoria Central from its high horse and made it look like just another basketball team. Peoria was among the leaders before meeting defeat by the Bulldogs. Streator won two games from Peoria Manual and defeated Decatur in their only meeting. The Bulldogs were vanquished by Pekin and Danville twice, and lost to Peoria Central once. Danville was the undefeated champion of the con- ference. 0 Against non-conference foes, the Dalemen were very successful. Out- standing achievements were two victories over Ottawa and Kankakee, one victory over Clinton, and a split with Canton. 0 The team featured speed and accurate shooting ability. They varied their defense using a zone and a man-to-man. Every man was a scoring threat with no individual player depended upon for all the fire works. At all times a fast break was used. The Bulldogs won many of their games in the last few minutes. Basketball U03 51 Streator Playing at Ottawa Regional Tournament 0 Streator was one of the favorites to cop the regional at Ottawa. Hall of Spring Valley was the first hurdle. Spring Valley was considered one of the outstanding teams in the tournament. Streator came from behind to win a thriller, 23 to 22. 0 After defeating Leland, who furnished some surprise opposition, 32 to 29, Streator went into the finals. 0 The Dalemen met La Salle-Peru's great team, starring Beneitone, all- state guard, in the final game. They scored 33 points, enough to win any ball game, but they met La Salle on the wrong night. La Salle-Peru scored on about sixty per cent of their shots, a phenomenal average, and went off the floor victors by a score of 38 to 33. 0 Sectional Tournament 0 As runners-up in the regional, Streator gained the right to enter the De Kalb sectional. Streator's opponent in the first game was Harlem, a great team from Rockford. Playing upon an unfamiliar cracker box floor with a stage for a seating place for spectators, Streator fell by a score of 28 to 26. BEDNAR PEPPLER PILE Basketball Personnel CAPTAIN EARL DIXON O Earl, performing at guard, was the money player of the squad. When points were needed, it was usually the big Streator guard who swished them through the net. The man about whom the team was built, he was an expert on one-handed tosses, a tower of strength on defense, and a scoring threat at all times. ANDREW BEDNAR 0 Fans will have to put the name of Bednar along with those of Dawson, Connell, Dixon, Paton, etc. Given honorable mention on Pat H81'm0H,S all state team, and winning a position on the first team in the regional mythical selections were among the honors received by Andy, Streator fans will tell you more than this, though. They will tell you the story of the little fellow who wouldn't be stopped, the hard-fighting, indomitable, lightning fast star, who was outstanding in every game. RAYMOND PEPPLER 0 Ray, after a slow start, showed lots of improvement in floor work and basket shooting as the season advanced. Using his height to advan- tage, Ray was a menace to all teams under the basket. His shoes will be hard to fill, for centers like Ray aren't found without some difficulty. GRANT PILE 0 The general was a star of the first order. A guard at the beginning of the season, Coach Dale moved him up to forward to utilize his offensive ability. With Pile's eye as accurate and as sharp as Daniel Boone's, teams throughout the state learned to fear his shooting ability. Graduating S Men 52 53 Basketball Personnel ROBERT GRANT 0 Great things are expected from Bob. His spirit and pep, coupled with clever ball-handling, led the team to many victories this year. He is only a junior and should develop into a star of the first order. EDWARD HALL 0 They call Eddie Igloo, He gained this name because of his great love for ice cream in below zero weather. This great love for cold things undoubtedly explains his coolness under fire. New to varsity competition this year, he never showed the customary signs of stage fright but per- formed like a veteran from the start. ROSS MINNECI 0 Ross has height, speed, and an accurate basket eye. He is especially dangerous under the basket, where he drops them in with either hand. He will be back next year to prove his potential ability. RUSSELL MUSCATO O Rosy ran hog wild against Peoria Central. Young and green this year without the stamina to undergo the rigors of a full season, he per- formed like a star in all the games in which he participated. He has two full years of competition, and he should contribute much to the future success of Streator basketball teams. WESLEY WILHITE 0 Wes used his height and brawn to advantage in all the games he played. Fast for a big fellow, he should develop into a capable center. Schedule Streator Marseilles ......

All Staters Season 0 Though the All Staters are organized primarily to develop future talent for the varsity, they always manage to furnish the fans with some lively entertainment. This year was no exception. O The team compiled a good record, winning ten while losing six. Among the better teams they beat were the Canton and Peoria Central second teams and the Dana Varsity. The All Staters dropped one to the Peoria Central second team at Peoria. They lost to the Peoria Manual second team twice in an exchange of games. I Several of the boys who started the season with the All Staters were promoted to the varsity: namely, Grant, Minneci, and Muscato. These three boys, with the aid of Tom Adams, All Stater center, were responsi- ble for the startling victory which Streator scored over the Canton varsity. In this game the varsity were losing, and the All Staters, who had won their game, were called out of the showers. They started the second half and went on to win a victory that had the whole town talking. 0 Adams and Novotney were consistent high scorers for the team. Towards the end of the season, several men from the freshman team were promoted to the All Staters. U41 7 A11 Staters Schedule All Staters Q.,.... ......... 2 0 Marseilles 2nds ,........

Under the tutelage of Coach Magierski many of the players showed promise of developing into future varsity material. 0 Captain Kerchner, a clever forward, led his team to three victories. The squad bowed in defeat only once-to Toluca. Glenn Adams utilized his height to advantage, and showed great promise of developing into a star center. Clayton, Cali, Hamann, were other boys to play well, and of whom much is expected. First row: Couch Mugivrski, Ralph Wilsman. Russell Johnson, Dick Keating, Chnl K h J Cali.

Curtis Humzans Cross Country 0 The outlook for a winning cross country team was far from bright when it was decided to continue the sport after a lapse of several seasons. How- ever under the watchful eye of Mr. Purnell, the squad developed into one of the greatest cross country teams in the history of the school-a team which was undefeated in dual meets against some of the toughest compe- tition in the state. 0 Paced by Curt Meils, brilliant track starg Earl Copelandg and Norman Palanosg the team defeated Pekin and La Salle-Peru twice each, and Dan- ville and Champaign once. 0 Among the highlights of the season was the sportsmanship shown by Meils to Wugec, La Salle-Peru distance star, in the second meeting of the two teams. Showing the courteous regard demonstrated by the team to opponents all season, Meils waited until Wugec caught up to him after the latter had become confused on the new Streator course. They then sprinted in together, Meils winning. I Curtis Meils, Norman Palanos, Earl Copeland, and the two Carby brothers, Harvey and Shelby, formed the bulwark of the squad. 56 571 I Track Q First row: Richard Hillier.

Track Season 0 The track squad had a successful season this year. Led by co-captains Mohan and Meils, they scored heavily in all the meets they took part in. Streator placed second to Pontiac in the triangular meet at Pontiac and third in the district track meet. They were defeated by their traditional rivals, Ottawa, in a dual meet in that city. 0 In placing third in the district meet, Streator also quali- fied three men for the state finals. They were Tommy Klein in the discus, Curtis Meils in the 880, and J im Hard- grove in the mile. Meils, holder of the district record, was conceded a good chance in the state. O Coach Magierski did yeoman service with the material he had to work with, giving Streator a capable representa- tion on the cinders. Herbie Sutton and Al Sirotnak performed their managerial duties in an efficient manner. 0 Our All-American band was on hand to assist the rooters in cheering the home team on to victory. They played and marched to their hearts' content while the team gave all they had to bring home the bacon, I Here's how Streator supports her team at the only day game of the season on the home field. According to the expressions on the students' faces, something exciting must have happened. What's so funny, Bill? It must have been good. Whoopee Richards looks as if he were the losing coach. 0 The beef-trust all lined up and looking at the birdy. From left to right they are Dike Cantello, Tommy Klein, Punkin Williams, and Glenn Adamsg in front are managers Lyle Adams and Scotty Patton. These boys represented Streator in all the weight contests. I Here's Curt Meils breaking the tape in the half mile at Ottawa. Can Curt run? And how! Didn't he win the half mile in the district for two years in succession and represent Streator at the state meet? 0 Watch Tommy do his stuff in the shot put at Ottawa. While he didn't break a record in the dual meet with Ottawa, he did, however, do so well at the Pontiac meet and the Ottawa district meet, that he came home with a medal and represented Streator at the state finals. 0 Streator, with their backs to us, are defend- ing their goal against a line plunge by Pekin. The man on the bottom surely must be able to take it by the looks of the pile on top of him. Number 25 seems to be taking it easyg maybe he's saving his energy for another day. I Yea Streator ! l I What do you say, Streator ! ! l Edward Kollar and Charles Vance led the cheering section. There were many applicants for cheer leader this year, but Vance was the only one who weathered the stormy year. He was ably assisted by Ed Kollar and Dean Raymond. iisl 59 C Volleyball Team l l Girls' Athletics MISS WEINSTEIN 0 Miss Rebecca R. Weinstein has just completed another successful year as director of all departments of girls' physical education. The Girls' Athletic Association, which she established here in 1928, has grown rapidly under her supervision, and she is to be congratulated upon her fine work in this department. She has just finished serving her second term as an oflicer of the Illinois League of High School Girls' Athletic Associ- ations, and will retain this same position next year. Due to her capability Miss Weinstein also acted as a leader at the Girls' Athletic Association camp situated on Lake Bloomington. Aerial and Loop Tennis 0 This year two popular and enjoyable sports, aerial and loop tennis, were introduced by Miss Weinstein. A tournament of doubles was played in both sports. Lucille Shaw and Ronelva Voights, after competing against keen competition, became the champions in both tournaments. These sports will be played both in the fall and spring. Volleyball I Because of the large number of girls reporting for volleyball, four teams were organized. Lucille Shaw, Leona Gotch, Isabel Patrick, and Jean Nolan were elected captains. The games in the tournament were played each Monday and Wednesday after school. Lucille Shaw's team proved to be victors, winning five out of live games.

About forty girls reported for this sport. Two teams were organ- ized, the Pinks, captained by Evelyn Lebo, and the Orchids, captained by Lucille Shaw. After a five game tournament was played, the Pink team emerged victorious with three games won and two lost. Archery 0 Lack of equipment this year limited archery to G. A. A. members only. However, two dozen new arrows were purchased. Last spring Streator placed third in an archery tournament sponsored by the Illinois League. The award was an arrow. This is the second year that archery has been a sport in the girls' activities. G. A. A. Play Days I Streator had the pleasure of being hostess to the girls from the various schools at the fall play day. The towns participating were Seneca, Long Point, Dwight, Pontiac, and La Salle-Peru. There were approximately one hundred and ten girls in attendance. Teams were organized to play volley- ball, baseball, and to run relays. Various awards were given to the winning teams at the close of the event. 0 Streator also took part in a play day held in Seneca. Other schools par- ticipating were Spring Valley, Seneca, and Sandwich. Fifteen Streator girls took part in the events. Six teams were organized, and they competed in relays, baseball, volleyball, and track. The play day was brought to a close with awards being presented for each event. The awards were miniature baseball bats and volleyballs. 5603 61 Girls' Basketball Team First row: Lois Thompson, June Ranger, Isabelle Patrick, Helen Prommenschenkl C Lucille Shaw, Mary Ann Martonchik. Louise Yuhas, Helen Nicholas, Pauline Ny Basketball 0 Immediately following the soccer tournament, inter-class basketball teams were organized. Captains were elected for the teams, and Margaret Daw- son was elected manager. 0 The evenly matched teams, playing hard fought battles, aroused great enthusiasm in girls' basketball during the past year. For an unusual fea- ture, two tournaments were playedg the sophomore II defeated the fresh- men II for the championship in the first tournament, and the seniors defeated the sophomore III for championship in the second. In the final game between the two victorious teams, the seniors defeated the sopho- more II. Both teams are represented in the Hardscrabble picture. Telegraphic Meet O The Annual Basketball Telegraphic Meet was held on March 16, with eighteen girls participating. It was held in the local gymnasium. Each girl entered was given twenty-four trials in which to make eight baskets. Forty points are received toward G. A. A. if this is achieved. Streator has formerly won second and third place banners. This year DeKalb placed first, Rochelle secondg Belvidere third. The following schools were entered in district No. 5: Belvidere, De Kalb, Dwight, Harvard, Mendota, Sandwich, gtgichcille, Harlem of Rockford, Spring Valley, Steward, Waterman, and rea or. 0 The girls making the required eight baskets in twenty-four trials were: Leona Gotch, eight out of fifteen: Eileen Carpenter, eight out of seventeeng Louise Yuhas, eight out of eighteeng Virginia Cameron, eight out of nine- teeny and Lois Thompson, eight out of twenty-three.

The first local award, the class numeral, is given for 600 pointsg the second local award, the school letter, is given for 1200 points. 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: Frances Rozak, Florence Capko, Dorothy Day, Ber- nice Seaman, Louise Yuhas, Darlein Hyduk, Frances Paryzgnat, Bernice Quaka, Lois Thompson, Virginia Harker, Eileen Bee, and Pauline Nycz. School letter: Eileen Carpenter and Eileen Bee. 0 Although the G. A. A. is mainly an athletic club, it also has its social side. A party was held in the fall at which time new members were initiated. A grab bag was the main feature of the Christmas party. A St. Patrick's Day party was held at which various games were played and refreshments were served. A banquet will be held on May 21 at which time the mothers will be guests. Awards will be given to the girls who have earned them. Officers for the coming year will also be elected. f62 I 'Q-.mg i I u I ,+.......- ,.,,.,r,,.....,..,.

It is a national organization, being spon- sored by the National Association of High School Principals. Only those students ranking in the upper third of their class are eligible. The faculty then awards to fifteen percent of.the class, or less, this honor, which is the highest our school can bestow. Membership is based on scholarship, character, leadership, and service to the school. Wearers of the society emblem, a gold pin, find it a mark of distinction in college and other out- side contacts. 0 Under the capable guidance of the society's sponsor, Miss Moynihan, this group has proved to be one of the most active organizations in our school during the past semester. A series of matinee corridor dances, the last held in the old building, an elaborate fish pond, as part of the Music Club Fairg and a May Day dance are highlights of its activities. The monthly meetings, held at the homes of the various members, have been especially enjoyable.

His pleasing personality has won him many friends among the student body through his active part in the various organizations. This year through Mr. Schramm's capable leadership, the music department presented a successful operetta, Oh! Doctor. This is the first operetta that has been held in the high school for three years. 0 He has accomplished much in the following divisions: Band, Second Band, Orchestra, Girls' Chorus, Mixed Chorus, and Boys' Glee. Through his efforts many students were entered in the state contests as repre- sentatives of the high school. Those who were vic- torious gained recognition for our school.

Schramm, presented Oh! Doctor, an operetta in two acts, March 17 and 18. The setting was the Drinkwater Sanitarium near the Mexican border. Jeanne Hill played the leading role of Honor, masquerading as Glory, Dr. Drinkwater's niece, with excellent musical and dramatic ability. Ray- mond LeRoy's rich baritone voice was heard to good advantage in the role of Philip, a young ranch owner, in love with Honor. James Keating, as Dr. Drinkwater, proved himself an able comedian as well as the possessor of an unusual tenor voice. The other principal roles were successfully portrayed, and the choruses, tableaux, and ballet scenes were pictorially and musically effective. 1 l I 4 I Glee Clubs First row: Eleanor Dundek.

Girls' Glee Club 0 The Boys' and Girls' Glee clubs were combined this year to form a large mixed chorus of 92 members. At the first meeting Lola Johnson was elected president. They were very active this year, taking part in a com- bined concert with the band on February 26. They performed before the student assembly at a Christmas program, and were on the baccalaureate and commencement programs. I The big event of the year was the participation of the mixed chorus in the Big 12 Festival at Pekin, Illinois, on May 2. fThree busses were chartered to make this trip.J Several members of the Glee club took part in the various contests in the early spring. 0 A boys' quartet consisting of James Keating, James Warwick, Raymond LeRoy, and Curtis Meils and a girls' trio including Lola Johnson, Marjorie Carpenter, and Jeanne Hill proved very popular. Orchestra 0 The high school orchestra consisted of string ensembles this year, being supplemented by wind instruments for special occasions such as plays, the operetta, and the commencement program. The group will be organized into a little symphony group of selected players who will be given the honor music letter as their reward. 0 Streator was well represented in the all state orchestra and chorus held at the University of Illinois, November 19353 this is quite an honor for those students who were selected. Ralph Jones, fiutistg Alvin Jacobson, violinistg and Mark Anthony, trombonist, were members of the orchestra, while Jeanne Hill was selected as one of the sopranos in the large chorus. f84 85 Boys' Glee Club First row: Harrv Kear.

We attempted to depict this theme through its truest medium, photography. 0 Under the capable guidance of Miss Cadwell, the photography adviser, the theme was successfully carried out. The art editors under the direc- tion of Miss Hall, splendidly carried out their work, sizing and mounting of all the photographs, and making page decorations. The literary staf, supervised by Miss Dorsey with the assistance of Miss Miller, efficiently cared for all the material and proof reading of the annual. Our typists, too, were allowed no idle moments. 0 The capable solicitors of the 1936 Hardscrabble staff, under the super- vision of Mr. List and the business managers, did spendid work in financing this Hardscrabble. We appreciate also the work of our other adviser, Mr. Edwards, whose efforts and interest tended to make the work easier and more enjoyable. 0 We wish to thank the Anderson Printing Company, the Foldenauer Studio, the Schoenwald Engraving Company, the faculty, and the students for their help in publishing this book.

The old school seems so funny the first day, with most of the freshies knocking one another over to get to the band-room, and see- ing all your old friends again, doesn't it? CThat is-IF you have any friendslj 9-13-Football practice began this 30- week. Peeked in study B to see what was going on. Pops Dale must've been showin' off or sumpin', cause I heard him say, Watch the board while I run through it once more. Seems funny he'd have to do that to teach' em signals. 16-20-Got off to a flying start by giving the first dance of the season Fri. nite. Too bad there had to be so many stags -agreed, girls? 23-27-The school was pretty dull this week, so I tried the in- quiring reporter business. Asked Marian Smith Q o r Smythel, What's the hardest thing for a doctor to do? and she up and says Extracting the tonsils from the neck of a bottle, I guess! lClever, or just cracked ?J OCTOBER - 1935 4-That new girl at the post- grad dance Fri. nite is from way out yonder in the bear- state. fWonder how she likes our school?J Her name is Heffner, so watch out, fellas! 7-11-Went through the proverb- ial mill the first three days. It all goes to prove uneasy is the head 'pon which rests the crown -and a bunch of us are certainly gonna get crowned when we go home with these report-cards. 14-18-Notice the long faces on the seniors this week? Reason- Mr. Jordan left to take over the helm of the du Pont Manual Training School in Louisville, Kaintucky-well, happy Mint J uleps, suh! 21-25-The junior dance was a pro- logue to a one day vacation 28- Fri.

'Member the wild party and their platform? Certainly had lots of fun bally- hooin' in front of study D, anyway. So for this year, we have Bud Mohan, president, Kayo Payne, secretary, Bill Robertson, vice-presidentg and Helen McGuire, treasurer. We've a new adviser, too. Miss Miller is taking Miss Halsey's place-one we all hate to see refilled even by one so capable as Miss Miller. Miss Halsey's going to be assistant some- thing or other of public schools in Kankakee county-Politics, or jus' her magnetic person- ality? QP. S. It's all in fun, Rebecca.D iss 891 4- NOVEMBER -- 1935 8-Basketball's been getting into full sway lately, an' I think we've got one of the best little forwards in the business. flf you're around, Andy, take a bow.J Ray Pep- pler, that big, tall, handsome giant, graces the pivot posi- tion-so the seniors are pretty well entrenched in Pop Dale's front lines. 11-15-The F.

Must be that blonde influence from Highand Park. 9-13-Tues. nite saw the Strea- tor-El Paso charity game here. I think the Red Sock club of Streator is doing a very fine work. CP. S. The team's not doin' so bad eitherlj 16-20-Mon. was club-day again. I think it's a shame that more students don't take an inter- est in them.
