That we may always see our first real per- formance in all its brilliance, we present, pictured forever in this book, our Drama of School Lzfe. Division l-The Directors The play is directed by the faculty who already have innumerable successes to their credit. Division Il - The Cast . The stars are the veteran Seniors with under- classmen in supporting roles. Division lil -The Play Lffe at Streator High School. ACT I.-During third hour, clubs and other activities offer excellent experience in stock for future lead roles. ACT II.-On the football field, basketball floor, baseball diamond, track, and tennis court-night and day-Win or lose- the athletes carry out the traditions of the theatre. ACT III.-The scenes of the last act are laid wherever extra-curricular activities take place. The Review, the Hard- scrabble, and the dances all add color and zest to the drama. Behind the scenes-ceaseless activity-home work -typewriters-endless assignments-train the youthful actors into seasoned and accomplished players. BUT NOW, curtain going up! MSSGENSEKE DEDICATION To Miss Grace Genseke, who gra- ciously and efficiently guided the class for four years--to Lewis Lloyd, who tirelessly and skillfully directed us for three years until called to the service of his country-and to Richard Trepanier, Mr. Lloyd's able and popular successor, We, the Senior Class of 1942, dedicate in sincere appreciation the twenty-fourth vol- ume of the Hardscrabble. ir MR.

WHITTIER ' Principal ' 'k PRINClPAL'S MESSAGE Not only is the entire world a stage. Each individual life is a stage upon which the indi- vidual himself plays several roles. The very nature of human life demands it. A great per- sonality is made possible by the teamwork of his many selves. By the time you are in high school, you have already played several parts upon the stage of your life. The scenery revolved rapid- ly from the nursery into all of the places in which you iind yourself today. You have taken simultaneously the roles of daughter or son, of brother or sister, and of playmate. You have been the student seeking knowledge and under- standing, or learning skills. Probably you have played the role of the teacher, too, for who has not taught Little Brother to play baseball? But even now you are preparing for future roles, as the actor reads his plays and studies everything that will help him to bring meaning into the reading of his parts. Already you are preparing to play the parts that succeeding seasons may bring to your stage. You may have to be ready to play collegian, breadwinner, parent, soldier, or one of many professions. Most of these roles have existed for a long time before any of us were born. Most of them will continue to exist after we have played them and others have taken our places. We can play them so colorlessly that they make no contribution to the colorful, interweaving pat- tern of human activity. Or by our study of the roles we can bring to them a new signifi- cance that will live after us, as a great actor can bring meaningfulness to the role he plays beyond even the playwright's intent.

FACULTY CHANGES As the years pass, new faces come to replace those who ,find it necessary to pursue their profes- sions on other stages. When Lieutenant Lewis Lloyd answered Uncle Sam's cail to duty, Richard Trepanier stepped behind the vacated desk to assume the duties of chemistry teacher, coach of the Girls' Pep Club, and senior ad- viser. A When Miss Maureen Scovell trod the matrimon- ialpath, Miss Gertrude Mayes succeeded her in the English department. , A position on the staff of a large Cleveland news- paper enticed Walter Notman from his duties at Streator High, thus making way for Arthur Ritcher as teacher of biology. Benjamin Westlake accepted a place on the teaching staff of Riverside-Brookfield Township High School, Riverside, Illinois, thereby creating an opening which has been successfully filled by Robert Sebastian. A year's leave of absence was granted to John Raglan in order that he might teach in the commer- cial department of Normal University. Harry Campion now teaches shorthand and typewriting. Another change occurred in the history depart- ment with Lorence Stout assuming the duties of George Evans as track coach and health director. The forced resignation of Louis Fincham be- cause of illness necessitated changes in the Indus- trial Arts department. Byron Snow, formerly of woodshop, now acts as drawing instructor with Don Miller capably replacing him in the wood-shop. Mr. Miller is also active as an athletic coach. In January Miss Margaret Tkach, one of our ofiice secretaries for a number of years, became Mrs. John Burnes. She was succeeded by Miss Patricia Hagerty, a graduate of the class of 1941.

STUDENT ACTIVITY BOARD if Working behind the scenes, guiding -school activities, and allowing for no conflicts was the Student Activity Board. Composed of two representatives from each of the classes, the group met regularly with Mr. Whittier. The primary purpose of the Student Activity Board is to promote a better under- standing of student needs and problems. The board secured closer harmony be- tween classes and extra-curricular organiza- tions by arranging a schedule of dance dates. Formerly this matter had always been one of contention. A Student Council was chosen from the four classes to assist the Board. The council established a constitution which will be a great aid to future students.

R oberta Sanderson CLASS HISTORY A blare of trumpets-a crash of cymbals-the burst of applause echo through the theater of S. H. S. as the stars of our class of 42 make a triumphant entrance. In the leading role is Walter Nelson, important sup- porting roles are played by Robert Whited, Phyllis Carpenter, and Ray Kmetz. Guided by our competent direct- ors, Miss Genseke and Mr. Lloyd, we perform remarkably well. After a -short intermission we find ourselves again in the wings ready to go on. This year the new stars are Don Morris, Don Davis, Ray Coley, and Ralph Novotney. For the third act, we change the backdrops to a south sea island scene. Beautiful palms sway 'neath the luscious moon. The grand march finds Robert Whited in the lead followed by Pat Langan, Twilah Page, and Joan Reed. This, the annual prom, makes our third act a huge success. During the next intermission, the rumble of war is heard and one of our directors, Mr. Lloyd, hurries off to serve his country leaving us to find a new director, Mr. Trepanier. Even if we had had Orson Welles behind us, we couldn't have given a finer performance than ours of this year. In the final act, Pat Langan's lead is supported by Don Egan, Roberta Sanderson, and Cyril Johnson. Our grand finale is the best ever, so in June, 1942, the school board bestows upon each and every one of us an S. H. S. Academy Award. e it s ' 40 7' ' ' ,-- Fl rg hip 1, 1-4 N ,1 g r x xl ' l S E S ' A, fx ' W l' ...fer ' Q' 1 fi 1. fb i 'f l 4 es . .1 , FG 3 . , ,,, V, . 0 - - 'E' 2 1 - 3A - Q- - ,-Q. - fw- ' A X:z: ' We're OE 18 191 ir i' ir IONE MAXINE ADAMS Band 3: Commercial Individual Honors 3: Girls' Athletic Individual Honors 3, 4: G.

S Miss Nicholas Mr. Ritcher 1 9 4 3 if if CLASS HISTORY In September 1939, a bewildered freshman class entered the halls of Streator Township High School. They were entertained early in the year at a Freshie Mixer, a dance sponsored by the upper classmen. Later in the sea- son the newcomers themselves held a very successful dance under the direc- tion of Mr. Notman and Miss Nicholas. The class officers for the first year were: president, Edward Rammeg vice- president, Walter Kerr, secretary, Don- ald Loweg treasurer, Joseph Yanekg historian, Esther Engleg reporters, Ladislav Lucas and Jeanne Mills. The following year the class showed signs of great activity. Many of the sophomores were letter men and others were prominent in the various school clubs. The class oiiicers were: president, Raymond McClernong vice- president, Walter Montsg secretary, Mary Lou Mootzg treasurer, Richard Hendrickson, historian, Mary Gochan- our, reporters, Mary Kriegh and Albert Poldek. For the all-important junior year the class of 1943 elected the following oiii- cers: president, Richard Hendrickson, vice-president, John Plesko, secretary, Helma McCauleyg treasurer, Audrey Carpenter, historian, Mike Kmetzg re- porter, Lorraine Lux.

H. S. that will live on and on in our hearts long after we leave. The Music Department, under Mr. 'Schram1n.'s com- petent guidance, provided a rich and colorful background for various school activities. Throughout the school year the band gave fine support to our valiant teams. In many auditorium programs and pep meetings it played rousing selections to incite our patriotism and -school spirit. On the evening of December 11, 1941, the band and glee clubs presented a fall concert, a great success both musically and tinancially. During the weekend of November 7, the following members of the glee clubs took part in the All-State Chorus: Robert Brandes, Mary Louise Carpenter, Phyllis Hill, Aerienne Kreier, Jean Metcalf, Richard Reed, William Schiffbauer, and Eugene Weber. The band was well repre- sented in the All-State Orchestra by Paul Anthony and Robert Halpin. Just before the Christmas vacation, the Music Depart- ment enjoyed a gay Christmas party in the band room. Although neither the band nor the glee clubs entered the spring contests, they were host to the district contests on February 28, and March 14. Many individuals entered with solos and ensembles to win numerous honors for S. H. S. At the end of the year, when instrument-s were soon to be put away for the summer, the band members took time 05 from sharps and Hats and tuned-up for fun at their annual spring picnic. In the fall the various groups elected officers for the year. The band officers were: Charles Kriegh, president, Roberta Sanderson, vice-president, Jo Ann Baysinger, sec- retary, Cynthia Camp, treasurer, Eddie Conley and Harley Pope, managers, Nancy Blakemore and Peggy Wood, librar- ians,iMichael Finlen, press reporter, William Schiffbauer, student director, and Phyllis Hill, sponsor. The Advanced Girls' Glee Club chose the following ofii- cers for the year: Phyllis Jean Smith, president, Caryl Hart, vice-president, Jean Metcalf, secretary, Dorothy Longest, treasurer, Joyce Lewis, librarian, Elinor Harrison, reporter, and Phyllis Jean Smith, accompanist. The Freshman Girls' Glee Club officers were: Marjorie McNamara, president, Meta Marie Keller, vice-president, Barbara Evans, secretary, Lillian Weber, librarian, Mar- garet Kimes, reporter, and Mildred Kramer, accompanist.

This year with an additional class in beginning Spanish, the total enrollment in the course was increased to 151, the largest in the history of the school. I Guided by able Espanoles, the Spanish Club had a most suc- cessful year. The officers of the club were: Dorothy Purcell, presi- dentg Jayne Poor, vice-presidentg Phyllis Conley, secretary 5 Dolores Mehall, treasurer. Mrs. Dale was the adviser of the club. Two different members prepared a program for each meeting. This arrangement produced some very entertaining sessions with charades, spell-downs, and Spanish versions, of American games being given. At one meeting the club had the privilege of seeing pictures taken by Miss Nachtrieb during her recent trip to Mexico. A Spanish pinata was held at Christmas time with an exchange of gifts among the members. Atsa party held in May, Mrs. Dale presented gifts to members who had missed no more than three meetings.

The fol- lowing officers led the freshman and sophomore boys through an active year: Larry Brennan, presidentg Howard Minick, vice-presidentg Edward Harri-son, secretaryg Lloyd Dice, treasurer. Mr. Campion was the capable adviser. Among the many interesting programs presented to the club during the year were addresses by Mr. Trepanier, the Reverend Otto C. Moke, and Dr. Edgar W. Smith. During the Christmas holiday season the Junior Hi-Y invited the members 'of the other Y groups to a dance at the Y. M. C. A. On April 24 the club spon-sored a school dance in the high school gymnasium. At a picnic in Marilla Park the Junior Hi-Y lost a baseball game to the Senior Hi-Y. In consequence they were again host to the older group and to the Tri-Hi-Y girls at a party in the Y. M. C. A.

One of the newer organizations functioning in Streator HighiSchool this year was the Gamma Tri-Hi-Y. Because of the large enrollment in the Y. M. C. A. group, the forma- tion of this new club became necessary. The ofiicers for the year were: Mary Angelos, president, June Martin, vice-presidentg Norma Jean Joy, secretaryg Lucille Klein, treasurer. Miss Dorothy Bash served as adviser until illness forced her to resign. The group then came under the leader-ship of Mrs. Dale and Mrs. Thompson, the advisers of the older clubs. With the exception of the initiation accorded members, the most outstanding activity was their trip to Chicago on April 25. The members took a tour through Chinatown, visited radio station WMAQ, and shopped in various stores in the loop. With the addition of the third group, Streator has acquired one- of the largest Tri-Hi-Y memberships in the state. ..

This year twelve students displayed enough inter- est and ability in dramatics to meet the entrance require- ments of the club. The officers for the year were as follows: president, Richard Reedg vice-president, Walter Kerrg secretary-treas- urer, Margaret Mary Berrettinig adviser, Miss O'Hara. Early in the year the Dramatics Club presented an old- fashioned melodrama for the entertainment of the student body. Entitled He Ain't Done Right By Nell, this play was complete with a sweet little heroine, a scheming villain, and a handsome hero. Having been enthusiastically received by the students, the play was later given before the Rotary Club. Activities were somewhatlimited toward the end of the year because many of the members had leading roles in the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y play and in the operetta.

Under the ,supervision of Walter Baysinger, these boys carried through a well-rounded program of agricultural achieve- ment. Some of their group projects included such diversi- fied activities as soil testingg cooperative buying and selling , of seeds, buds, and chicksg raising caponsg and milk testing. . The boys organized a Hog Breeders Association for the s furthering of efficient and economical hog raising. ' 1? 3 3 ,.V,, To make money, the group gave a dance, raised capons, 9 W and sponsored a magician show. The proceeds of the latter A were used for buying tools for the agriculture shop. 417 EE Q During the previous year members of the club attended , - the International Livestock Exposition at Chicago and also ' Q, 2, the state convention of the Illinois Association of Future 1 if ' Farmers at Champaign.

Desiring to understand the fundamentals of meteorology, twenty junior and senior boys, with Mr. Koenig as adviser, organized the Meteorology Club this year. No officers were elected. The boys made a daily record of the pressure, temperature, and humidity of the air. A Weather forecast which they prepared, was published in the Streator Daily Times-Press until restrictions were placed on such publications. 'A' 'ir Of their own accord a group of boys who Were interested in photography composed the Motion Picture Club and chose Ralph Ed- wards as their adviser. Offering their services to the school, they helped present movies to the student body during the activ- ity period, and they were available to any organization which wished them to operate a movie projector. There was no formal organization of the club, the boys simply pursued their interest during their free periods. . Sitting: R. Schaefer, A. Hash, R. Kimber, K. Jones, R. Henry.

'ix fri... -. ... swan: -.-1... .....-1. Down the floor On March 21 the most successful basketball season in the his- tory of Streator High School was brought to a close. The members of this year's team, who were among the fastest and classiest players in the state, broke practically every previous record in Streator and set a new state scoring record of 53 points per game. The Bulldogs were the most publicized team in the history of Illi- noi-s state basketball with pictures and data about them appearing in every important paper from Chicago to Cairo. Streator won the Big Twelve championship with nine straight decisive victories. The Dale-men played some of the best teams in the state and were beaten only by Thornton and Paris. . Throughout the season the Bulldogs were famous for their fast break and fancy ball-handling. This year the old record of eighteen straight victories was broken. The Bulldogs had twenty- four win-s before they were stopped by Thornton of Harvey in a thriller played at the Ottawa gymnasium. A new mark of seventy- seven points in one game was registered as the highest score ever made on the Streator floor. It was not uncommon for the Bulldogs to run up twenty points in the first few minutes of play. The star lineup of Morris, Kristal, Davis, Elko, and Novotney was in all probability the fastest team in the history of Illinois prep basket- ball. Hats off to the Bulldogs of 1941-42! Streator will never for- get them. As the tournament time drew near, sickness began to hamper the team. Novotney was unable to play throughout the regional tournament, and Langan was also lost after the first regional game. In the Normal game at the state finals, Don Morris had an attack of pleurisy. Though their ailments materially weakened the squad, they were able to advance to the second round of the state finals, the first time a Streator team has gone that far since 1921. yes 671 COACH LOWELL DALE In his twenty-fourth year as coach at Streator High School, Pops produced the greatest team of his successful career. An advocate of the fast- break, Dale built his team on speed and tricky ball- handling, His team this year was highly acclaimed by experts throughout the state. At the close of the season' Streator's rabid bas- ketball fans sponsored a testimonial banquet in honor of Dale s twenty-fifth year of coaching. Many outstanding coaches and sportswriters from all over the state were in attendance. Our wish for Pops is twenty-five years more as a successful coach. i' VARSITY SCHEDULE La Salle-Peru 26 .........l.......,......................

Don ,won the Big Twelve individual scoring cham- pionship and also set a new high for scoring in the conference with 145 points. In the thirty-two games of his senior year, Morris scored 567 points for an average of 17.23, an all-time record in this school. Don also broke another record by making thirty-three points in one game. In his four years of basket- ball, even though almost a whole season was lost because of an injury, Don made 1211 points, another all-time record. DON DAVIS Also playing his fourth year with the varsity, Davis, who towers six feet five, ex- celled as a pivot and was rated as one of the best ever to play for Streator. Stinky not only took third place in the Big Twelve scoring race, but also broke the old time Streator scoring mark by registering 432 points for the 1941-42 season. BEN KRISTAL ' 1 Although Ben was only a sophomore and playing his first year as a varsity forward, he was able to ring up 351 points. Ben was placed as a forward on the second all-state team, a real accomplishment for a second year man. LOUIS ELKO That he was fast and an excellent ball handler was the comment of the experts about Louie. Elko, a guard, was always in the middle of the .hottest action. - RALPH NOVOTN EY In the other guard position was Ruby Novotney. His brilliant defensive playing set up the fast break. Having played to- gether since childhood, he and Louis made a perfect combination. 1 ' pas JACKHART ' A- f 4' fi When Jack, a reserve forward, was placed in .the-game, he. could always be counted on to keep fdroppilig' them in. .

The S Club, under the leadership of Joe Richards, was composed of a group of boys who had earned letters in some sport. The aim of the club was to promote good sportsman- ship both in and out of athletic competition. The qualifications for earning letters in var-sity sports were the same as in previous years. To obtain a letter in football, a player must play four full quarters or one game. To win a letter in basketball, the player must see action in at least eight quarters or two games. In baseball, the player must have taken part in at least fourteen innings. In track letters were awarded according to the points won. Ten points was the minimum number which a player must possess to S CLUB win a letter. Points in track were totaled by the placqs . P taken in the meets. Five points were given for first place, fag three points were given for a second place, and one point f f - was given for a third place. .

BASEBALL 4 6r- L3 P N 'As this book Went to press, the Bulldogs were still holding out strong in defense of their Big Twelve title won last year. Although they have won five and lost three con- ference games, the boys are still very much in the running. These losses may be attributed to inexperience among the younger players. Although their record is not so impres- sive this year, the youthful sluggers have an excellent team and an undying will to win. A 1:97 Q ml - ' lr P . it lk 'K IO!

The new coach, Larry Stout, led the boys on to victories unwitnessed for years in Streator High. Coach Stout is a graduate of the University of Illinois where he was a star athlete. Last year he won the championship in the Big Ten and second in the national collegiate broad-jump contests. Streator won the first meet of the season against Gran- ville, 37Vg to 34M2. Ottawa then nosed out the S. H. S. thinly clads 60 to 53. The Bulldogs won over Pontiac by the close score of 5625 to 565. A group of Streator track- sters entered the Pontiac Relays in which they received ten points for a first in the shot, and a third in the medley relay. The District Tournament was held in La Salle with thirteen boys qualifying for competition. Don Morris won the -shot easily with a heave of forty-four feet, nine inches. Harley Mayer captured third in the mile, Dick Frye took fourth in the half, and Pat Langan, fifth in the mile. The Relay team, composed of Coobie Martin, Roy Rathbun, Willis Hansen, and Ed Ramme, scored one point with a fifth in the 880 relay. The team earned twelve points and finished sixth in a field of seventeen. . ' Dick Frye and Pat Langan were elected co-captains of the 1942 squad. The morale of the team was never better, and it is predicted that under the expert coaching of Mr. Stout, the Bulldogs will become a power to be reckoned with in the future. 574 Following are the events listed with winners: CJr.J 75 INTER-CLASS MEET At the beginning of the season, Coach Stout held an Inter-Class meet to create interest in track and give the boys a chance to show what they could do. The Seniors won the meet with a total of 66 points. Tihe Juniors captured second place with 5015 points, the Freshmen took third with 20, and the Sophomores were last with 13V2 points.

FOOTBALL K Rl .Qs 'R ' 'i3h, -Geordy K 'N M .- ll A ' A' lv :L 'ggi 5.- 7 In his fifth year as varsity football coach, Joe Richards guided the Bulldogs through one of the toughest schedules in their history. However, even under Joe's skillful coaching, the Bulldogs, who pos- sessed ability and courage, were still unable to break a streak of bad luck that clung to them throughout the season. ST. BEDE 13-STREATOR 0 On the home field, the Bulldogs were keyed for their opening game, but at the end of the conflict, they were on the short end of a 13-0 score. OTTAWA 7-STREATOR 0 ' ' In their second home game, the Bulldogs were defeated ,by their dearest enemy, the Ottawa Pirates. Following the usual cus- tom, the victorious Pirates were privileged to retain the Silver Jug another year. . SPRING VALLEY 12-STREATOR 6 At Spring Valley, Streator suffered a third defeat. In this encounter, however, the Bulldogs played better ball than they had in any previous game. PEORIA CENTRAL 0-STREATOR 19 Against Peoria Central, Streator played the best game of the season. They snapped a three4game losing streak and took first place, momentarily, in the Big 12. This victory showed other schools just what the Bulldogs could do when given a break. In this game, Don Morris kicked some of the longest punts ever made by a -Streator player. . PEKIN14-STBEATOAR 6 Following their brilliant victory of the preceding week, the courageous Bulldogs fell before a furious onslaught of the invaders in a fast game played on the local field. U6 771 PEORIA MANUAL 12-STREATOR 12 ' Rising above their defeat of the preceding week, the Bulldogs again displayed their valiant spirit and played excellent ball, tying Peoria Manual in the -second conference game.

Don not only made brilliant runs that won him state-wide recognition, but he also was considered one of the best .kickers in the history of the school. Unquestion- ably one of the most valuable players on the Streator squad,'Morris was listed on the all-state team and placed on ,several othfefhpnori teams. He has received praise from coaches and fans all over the state. Don deserves credit for his come-back afteri his injuries of the previous year. . . . I Coach Richards Captain Morris Mehall Zolper Langan GRADUATING S MEN T TIM MEHALL-Playing his second year in the position of left half, Mehall proved an efficient go-getter and indeed a valuable assetto the squad. IRA ZOLPER+-Everyone grew to depend upon Zolper to do his part. This was Ira's first year on the varsityg he had played with the ' Lightweights before. PAT LANGAN-Langan was a tower of strength in his position of right half. Pat always received a loud cheer when he was sent in to hold 'em down for Streator High. BOB RAMME-Ply far the biggest and heaviest man on the squad, Bob was just what the Bulldogs needed. Bob played at the posi- tion of left tackle for two years. ' CYRIL JOHNSON-Another left tackle who proved to be worth his weight in gold was Cyril Johnson. He was appreciated by every loyal student in the school. JACK NEIGGEMANN-Hats off to Neiggemann! Staging a success- ful come-back after a serious head injury the previous year, Jack proved himself so capable that he wa-s moved up from guard to right tackle. - - DAN DRABIK-Starting his senior year as substitute for either guard position, Dan improved so much that before the season advanced very far, he received his regular place at right guard. ,rf 'J ' T A-,Sak fi I .

During the last fourteen years, it has been one of the most active clubs in the school. This year with a membership of one hundred and sixty girls it was larger by far than any other extra-curricular organization. The G. A. A. is equally popular in many high schools throughout the state of Illinois. High standards in scholarship, sports- manship, and health are required for all who wish to earn awards. The awards are: the class numeral, 600 points, school letter, 1200 pointsg first state, 1600 points 5 second state, 2000 points. In order to obtain points for awards the girls divided into teams and com- peted with each other in soccer, basketball, volley ball, archery, and baseball. In May at the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet, awards were presented. Class numerals were given to: Marcella Masley, Mary Ann Senton, Virginia Cipalo, Zelma Chalkey, Josephine Parzygnat, '45g Jeanne Scharfen- berg, Florence Handzo, Mary Paula Corri- gan, Mildred Smith, Patsy Trainor, Lucille Kosur, Rosalie Rizzo, Marian Davis, '44g Mary Ann Hozie, Lavera Hillier, Helen Grennan, '43, Jean Lynch, Marilyn Lorey, '42, Girls who received the letter S were: Ione Adams, Jean Lynch, Lorraine Lux, Mary Gochanour, Florence Cipalo, Bernadette Kas- chak, Dolores Johnson, Alice Volkman, Marie Volkman, Jackie Lee. The first state award was presented to Stella Cali, Genevieve Sabino, and Jean Kimes. Phyllis Durham was honored with the second state award, the highest honor which the club can pre- sent to a member. Again this year the club was active socially. In order to create a friendly feel- ing between the old and new members and to introduce the latter to the activities pro- vided by the G. A. A., a Buddy Picnic was held in the early fall. G. A. A. girls sold pins on which the word Champs was printed. The pins signified that the Streator varsity basketball team had won the Big Twelve 5 if s 1.0 ffffw? I' I In X 'PW 79 Yes, Miss-- Miss Weinstein championship. Money earned from a dance which the club sponsored will be used to send girls to camp this summer. The officers who helped makethe year so successful were: president, Phyllis Durhamg vice-president, Dorothy Daniel, treasurer, Audrey Carpenter, assistant-treasurer, Dor- othy Greeng secretary, Helma McCauleyg sports-manager, Ione Adams, assistant sports-manager, Juanita Hoobler. Miss Rebecca Weinstein has been physi- cal director of girls since 1928. In addition to her regular physical education and hygiene classes, she is very active in the G. A. A., the club which she introduced here. No one could be more qualified than Miss Weinstein for the responsible position which she holds. She already has two de- grees, B.S. and M.S., and this summer she will obtain the degree of Doctor of Education. PLAY DAYS A The purpose of the G. A. A. play days is to foster cooperation and friendship among the girls of the different schools. This year Streator girls were guests at two play days, one at Ottawa in the fall and the other at La Salle in the spring. The girls who repre- sented Streator at the play days were: Dorothy Daniel, Jean Ryan, Joan Ryan, Phyllis Howell, Juanita Hoobler, Ione Adams, Jackie Lee, Audrey Carpenter, Josephine Parzygnat, Orcella Conner, Bernadette Kas- chak, Virginia Cipalo, Audrey4Palanos, Ver- onica Sopko, Ruth Havira, Geraldine Wargo, .Mary Ann Senton, Joan Missel, Marcella Masley, Mary Ann Majernik, Faye Allen, Clarene Laurance, Jean Reed, Florence Cipalo, Stella Cali, Genevieve Sabino, and Mollybelle- Shields. , , ,, ,4 'k ir if , , , 'A' ir ' 'Ir Row one: J.

I iso avg ff ff if CONTESTS f f f ESSAYS pp An essay contest open to all high school students was sponsored last fall by the Rotary Club. The subject, How can America make a permanent contribution to spread the ideal of neighborliness among nations after the war? provided an excellent opportunity for construc- tive thinking. Students were privileged to obtain ideas from a series of four lectures given last fall in the auditorium by speakers brought here under the auspices of the Rotary Club. The winners of the essay contest were: Mary Gochanour, first, William Schiffbauer, second, Lavern Miller, third, honorable mention, Patricia Carroll, Daniel Drabik, Mary Ann Zack, Bruce Brown, and Curtis Guy. A few months later, the American Legion Auxiliary spon- sored an essay contest on the subject: The Characteristics of a Good American. Jean Bay- singer was the winner. LATIN Each year the Illinois Classical Society sponsors a state-wide contest for Latin students. Students eligible to enter the sectional at Normal were: Cynthia Camp, Latin IV, Juanita Hoobler, Latin IIIQ Jo Ann Baysinger and Kent Jones, Latin IIg Carol Hayward and Dolores Lesak, Latin I. Because of the lack of transportation facilities, the freshmen were unable to attend. Cynthia Camp, Juanita Hoobler, and Jo Ann Baysinger received a rating of super- ior, and Kent Jones, excellent, in the sectional. In the finals, held at Rosary College, River Forest, Cynthia Camp again received superior rating for the Latin IV comprehension exam- ination and was awarded a four-year scholarship to the University of Illinois. MUSIC The music contests this year were taken over by the I. H. S. A., and all the contests were held within the state. The district contest was held at Streator, the sectional at Ottawa, and the state finals at La Salle. Streator High School did not enter any glee clubs or the band, but a number of soloists and small ensembles received excellent ratings. VOCAL: Girls' medium voice: Phyllis Hill, first division state.

Thursday morning -time for another issue of the Review. V A- growing interest in the Review has become apparent from the large number of students enrolled in journalism and from the increased number of subscriptions this year. So many students .believed they pos- sessed a nose for news,- that it was neces- sary to form three staffs, each contributing inits turn to give the paper added interest. Under the supervision of Miss Moynihan, STAFF III students were given those positions on the -staff for which they were thought to be most capable. More than the promised number of copies were distributed to subscribers. Even during vacation periods the staffs did not fail. The paper must go out regardless of interferences, was the pledge of the three staffs. Payments came in so rapidly that it was possible to spend more money for car- toons. -The art staff saw that no issue was lacking in illustrations by contributing five chalk plates weekly throughout the year. iss REVIEW STAFF I.

Authentic costumes and scenery helped make this operetta one of the most outstanding productions ever given by the students of Streator High School. For many weeks before the actual per- formance, Mr. Schramm drilled the entire cast in their parts. Miss O'Hara contributed a great deal to the success of the operetta by directing the dramatic parts. An orchestra composed of members of the music department and of musicians in the city worked for many long hard hours under Mr. Schramm's direction. On the night of the performance their music had a professional polish that delighted the audi- ence. , CAST RICHARD, the Pirate King ..........,..............,............ ........,.

Dad has a flair for inventing 3 kid brother hates to study: a cute little neighbor girl wants to marry himg Marion, the older sister, is hopelessly in love with her bossg and Aunt Abbie is the frantic cleaner-upper of the whole tribe. The plot revolves around Patsy, the youngest, who is crazy about animals, and has struck up a friendship with the owner of a pet shop. Things start popping when Patsy holds the ticket for a model house being raffled off. To top that off, Marion encounters competition in the form of a beautiful southern girl, and the owner of the pet shop is about to lose the shop for lack of money to pay the rent. Patsy, the little iixer-upper, puts the southern beauty out of the running, Marion in her boss' arms, and gallantly sells the model house to save the pet shop. The play was a huge success, with laughs abounding. , Abbie Fuller ......... ....... ......, ..,........... E s t her Engle Bobby Fuller ......,... .,.....,..,,,,,..,,..
