If we rear temples they will crumble to dust. But if we work upon men's immortal minds, if we imbue them with high principles, with the just fear of God and love of their fellow men, we engrave on these tablets something which no time can efface, and which will brighten and brighten to all eternity. -Daniel Webster. In preparing this report of the Thornton Factory for the fiscal year 1931-32, we, the ac- countants, have endeavored to interpret the ac- tivities of the Factory in the light of the indus- trial interests of our community If in any measure we have succeeded in our efforts we have been satisfactorily rewarded As the Thornton Factory continues to operate in the business world as a producer of Fine Character may it continue to prosper and bring to others the happiness it has brought to us Page Eight S .

The first General Superintendent, Mr. F. L. Mil- ler, was assisted by Instructors J. E. Cable and Bell Porter. Three classes received final promotion before the increasing employment made necessary a larger unit. This demand resulted in the building of a Town- ship Factory in 1898 with a total enrollment of ninety-six employees. Instructor Cable was promo-ted to General Superintendent. W. H. Miller, F. G. Howland, F. A. Braley, J. C. Howe and Mrs. James A. Lawson then comprised the Board of Directors. ' Plans for a new factory building were formulated, and in 1900 the institution was moved to its present location. General Superintendent Calble retired in 1908 and Mr. L. W. Smith became Superintendent. The Board .of Directors had also undergone some changes. W. H. Pease, J. H. McK-ee, Dr. T. A. Noble and L. A. Dolton were the directors then. While under the superintendence of Mr. Smith the employment grew to s-uch proportion that an addition to the building became necessary. The Board of Directors presented an issue for S140,000 to the stockholders. The issue failed in February, 1910, but was approved in August of the same year. Superintendent Smith retired in 1919, Mr. W. E. McVey, the present head of the Factory, taking charge. He was assisted by a Board of Dine-ctors composed of G. H. Gibson, A. H. McDougall, Dr. T. A. Noble, W. G. Morse, Charles E. Waterman, and G. N. Burnett. On the retirement of W. G. Miorse in 1927, E. P. Dickey filled that position. W. R. Brandt assumed Dr. T. A. No'ble's position upon the latter's death. As an accommodation to employees in that district, the Dolton High School Branch Factory 'was constructed, but was not needed after 1929. In 1925 the stockholders saw need: of new space, and accordingly voted S345,000 for the erection of the new building. ' Thornton has progressed rapidly in all phases of Factory work. Under the guidance of Mr. McVey, the Board of Directors, and the competent staif of in- structors, the employees iof the Factory have, after receiving final promotion, carried on the ideals of industry that have been placed before them by the Ad- ministration of the Thornton Factory. The growth of the Factory has been due entirely to those administrators of the stockholders' wishes, the General Superintendent, the Board of Directors and the instructors. The stockholders have made the advancement of industry possi- ble through their -whol-e-hearted cooperation. T.heirs is the spirit that has pre- vailed throughout the years, and theirs is the spirit that will be diffused through the Factory and the employees in the years to come, when Thornton, ever ad- vancing, iever upholding its standards and ideals, will still rbe adequately meeting the growing needs of the township.

R, Page Twenty .3 'W In THORNTONITE Courses of Training Employees of Thornton Factory have a choice of six courses of training. Each co-urse has a definite purpose. Every employee should anticipate his em- ployment after final promotion, and then select the course that best suits his aims and ambitions. Each employee is urged to consult with instructors and super- visors .of employment before ,deciding the course he is to pursue. The General Course is designed to furnish as 'broad a training as possible for employees who plan to drop Factory work after final promotion. The gener- alities of the course .offer training in technical, professional, business or academic branches with .emphasis placed on any one. Required subjects in the General Course are: three or four units of English 5 one unit of General Science, one unit of Historyg and one unit of Civics. A passing grade gives five credits in each. Elective suebjects include language, business and commercial subjects, mechanics, fine arts and music. , Prepared for students who desire to ,gain employment at an advanced factory, the Academic Course fills the entrance requirements of most higher institutions. All employees in this course must take two years each of Mathematics and Lan- guages, and one each of General Science, American History, Art, Music Apprecia- tion and four years of Physical Training. Elective subjects are the same as those offered in the General Course. Employees who desire to enter a commercial field have their choice of either the Two or Four-Year Commercial Course. Designed for employees who are able to work at the Factory more than two years, the Four-Year Commercial Course offers Commercial Arithmetic, Civics, Art, Music Appreciation, Business Cor- respondence, Typing, Shorthand .and allied electives. The Two-Year Commercial Course includes general office practice. It is not as thorough as the Four-Year Course. Thornton Factory employ-ees who are inclined toward a technical training find it profitable to pursue the Four-Year Technical or Engineering Course. The course also fills the requirements of most advanced factories' technical sections. Elementary Industrial Arts, Algebra, Woodwork, Mechanical Drawing, Music Appreciation, Art, Chemistry .or Physics, Geometry, Machine Shop, Electricity or Auto Mechanics are required. Electives are allied subjects. The Four-Year Preparatory Course is offered to employees who plan to enter on an apprenticeship. Employees successfully completing this course receive a diploma. The regular subjects required for graduation are demanded with such additional subjects as Elementary Industrial Arts, Civics, Industrial Arts, Me- chanical Drawing, Algebra, Music Appreciation, Art, Chemistry or Physics, Shop Mathematics and allied electives. Employees of Thornton Factory have access to the fullest courses of 'train- ing. The Factory equipment is constantly under the supervision of the instruc- tors, 'but accessible to the employees at most times during the day. A Mr. MeV-ey, General Superintendent, is largely responsible for the courses offered here. He has laid the foundation of the institution that has grown to be the pride of the community-Thornton Factory.

Journeymen While the whistle blew summoning the workers back to work after the annual summer vacation the journeymen responded with about 270 members. This group demonstrated its enthusiasm and activity :by an e-arly election of officers. Ed- ward Burnett, who had led this class through its first year, was again chosen as foreman. Genevieve Lockrem, -being the runner-up among the other fifteen candidates, became first assistant foreman, and Lawrence Morrison was elected second assistant foreman. Theodore DeRuiter was chosen by the journeymen as their clerk, and Paul McGehee became their treasurer. These loflicers cooperated with Mr. J. F. Zimmerman, journeyman adviser, in leading this large gro-up through a successful year. The journeymen cooperated with the masters in sponsoring the first major social .event of the fiscal year, which was a hard times masquerade party on Hallowe'en. Appropriate decorations and refreshments marked this gala occa- sion. Several novelty numbers and dancing furnished the entertainment for this affair. The journeymen were in charge of a St. Valentine party in the school gym, February 13. The masters and Lettermen's Club joined the journeymen at this event. Music was furnished by the Musical Kings. The greatest social :event in the Factory during the fiscal year was the journeyman-master banquet on May 14. The evening -began with the banquet. Next came the entertainment chiefiy in the form of moving pictures taken around the school during the past few years. These employees, who will soon be promoted to the standing of masters, are capable and worthy of the position which they occupied and will occupy. They have entered into all lines of Factory activity. They have been well represented in sports. Many of their number have been in orchestra and band. Their scholastic leaders have maintain-ed .high records. They have been active in the Boys' and Girls' Clwbs and in lesser organizations.

Apprentices The apprentices eb-egan their second year of employment at Thornton under the leadership of Mr. J. B. Stephens. The-y had spent their initial year under Mr. C. R. Mad-dox, permanent adviser of laym-ern. There were 440 apprentices who repo-rted for work at the beginning of the fiscal year 1931-32. It was quite late in the year when the apprentices set about to select their leaders. Eleven candidates were nominate-d for the fonemanship. Doris Stobbs, a capable and popular -employee, was chosen for this high honor. She proved an eiiicient leader. Jack Mott and Benson Fisher were elected by the apprentices for their first assistant foreman and second assistant foreman, respectively. Fred McGehee was selected for the clerical position by the group, and Norbert Jack was -elected to handle the financial matters. This corps of officers, working with their adviser, Mr. Stephens, helped to guide the group through its second year. The apprentices attended their own social event on the afternoon of Fri- day, May 13. Each home office contributed to the afternoon's -entertainment by presenting one stunt. Dancing furnished a part of the program. Extra-curricular activities attracted the members of this group, and they gave their talent and time to promote the various organizations and activities about the Factory. Thomas Nisbet was a regular on the lightweight basketball team, and was hailed as one of the outstanding players in the South Suburban league by metropolitan sports writers. The apprentices showed their desire and aJbility for outside: activities when, at the suggestion of some of their mem-bers, the feature for one issue of the bi-weekly Thorntonite was given over to the publishing of interesting sta- tistics and information gathered from the apprentice homerooms. The apprentices are a group of employees who have helped to build up and maintain the reputation of Thornton and who will continue to do so.

Laymen Six hundred fifty-three laymen applied for their first year of employment at Thornton Factory 'before the end of the first week of the fiscal year 1931-32. This exceptionally large number soon settled down to the routine of employment at Thornton, and came to be known as one of the :best groups and th-e largest of new employees ever to enter the Factory. Considering it wise to give the laymen several months in order to become acquainted with 'each other, Permanent Layman Adviser C. R. Maddox did not arrange for the class election until near the close of the first semester of em- ployment. In January the laymen selected Margie Dainton as their foreman. They chose Fred Zimmerman for their first assistant foreman, and Fred Rirbando, second assistant foreman. Alice Bright was selected for clerk, and Vera May for treasurer. 'Contrary to the tradition that laymen are usually comparatively inactive in Factory affairs, the laymen during the past fiscal year have manifested inter- est and activity in all lines of employment. They have furnished a satisfactory number of the Loyal Order of Thorntonites, the honor roll for scholastic leaders. They have been well represented in sportsg Louis' Boudreau was a regular on the heavyweight basketball team. Various other laymen were on athletic squads during the year. An unusual plan of home office instruction was followed by the laymen throughout the year. They followed a rotating system of study for periods of six weeks, after which course tests were given. The boys of the large group of laymen W-ere instructed by the Boys' Club layman advisers, while the girls were aided by the master-layman committee. Much has -been accomplished by the laymen, and much will be expected of them as they grow in knowledge and ability until they become masters.

Orchestra Exemplifying harmony, which is necessary in all departments of the Factory for its success, the orchestra, under the direction of Mrs. Isabel Loomis Mon- telius, is worthy of much comment. The organization, composed of about sixty- five players, practiced faithfully seven perio-ds a week. Valuable services were rendered the Factory by the orchestra at the school plays. At the Branch Factory play, Meet the Wife, November 20 and 21, the musicians played In a Persian Market fKetelbyJ, Ballet Egyptienn fLuiginiD, and selections from A Connecticut Yankee fRogersJ. The numbers played by the orchestra at the senior play, Peg O' My Heart, March 31 and April 1, were: selections from The Band Wagon fSchwartzJ, selections from Apple Blossoms fKreisler-Jacobil, and My Song tBrown-Hendersonj. A chorus of the last number was sung by Earl Koester. At the community program in honor of George Washington,s birthday the orchestra held a prominent place. Several patriotic selections were played, including American Fantasie fGrossmanJ and American Patrol tMeachamJ. The climax of the year's work came with the annual orchestra and Glee Club concert, May 27. Among the numbers by the orchestra were: Peer Gynt Suite lGriegJ, Eighth Symphony iBeethovenJ, and The Merry Wives of Windsor Overture fNico1aij. Page Sixty . vi .1 plv.

Band The fifty-seven members of Thornton's band, working together under the able direction of Mr. D. C. Allen, have for years formed one of the most useful and active organizations in the Factory. The band, whose history dates back to 1916, has proved its worth, and is known throughout the township. It has played at school festivals in neighboring towns, and at the annual Memorial Day services. The organization entered the district band contest at Highland Park on March 19, and received the Excellent Rating award, playing King Cotton fSousaJ, Rosamunde 1SchubertJ and Pique Dame fSuppeJ. Twelve soloists and two ensembles entered the contest for their groups at Highland Park on March 12. Of the twelve soloists Robert Dyer, cornetist, William Hurson, drummer and Dana Connell, tuba soloist, won the right for state competition. The brass quartet, composed of Lawrence Morrison, Robert Dyer, Robert Foster and Edward Bur- nett, also received the Superior Rating award. A clarinet quartet made up of Ernest Peebles, Francis Davidson, Robert Bentley and Donald Haines entered the district contest. The annual band concert occurred May 7. This program featured appropriate music in honor of the Bi-Centennial of George Washington's birth. The pro- gram also included overtures, marches, solos, and numbers by the ensembles.

Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club, although comparatively small in number, held an im- portant place among the activities of the Factory, as shown by the services rendered to Thornton under the able direction of Miss Florence Samuels. The first appearance of this organization was at the pep meeting, Novem- ber 13. The boys demonstrated their enthusiasm by singing three numbers- the ever-popular Hltoses of Picardy, Chloe, and an amusing, peppy number Old Man Noah. The boys entertained Thornton boys- and their dads at the annual stag, March 19. The group contributed generously with their talent to make the annual concert a success. One of the 'boys' numbers was Goin' Home, a negro spiritual the tune of which is from the Largo movement of Dvorak's New World Sym- phony. Members of the club were: first tenors, E. Barna, K. Chapman, E. Koester, T. Paarlberg, A. Petit, and R. Zajicekg second tenors, T. Berkley, M. Haddon, L. Hall, M. Helms, E. Hoffman, J. Miller, E. Rouse, and D. Smith, baritones, R. Anoe, R. Ducett, R. Gerholdt, E. Gibbons, C. Kennedy, W. Morrison, and F. Palmer, basses, J. Ehlers, J. Grenier, D. Hall, H. Hall, H. Heidenreich, R. Mc- Morris, and B. Waddell. The officers were: Fred Palmer, recorder, Bruce Waddell, librarian, and Mary McCall, pianist. This organization helped in promoting activities as well as in fostering the development of singing.

Girls' Glee Club Forty-six girls were chosen by Director Florence W. Samuels to compose the Girls' Glee Club, an organization interested in finding and developing vocal talent among the girls. At the meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association, December 22, the two Glee Clubs combined sang several numbers accompanied 'by a string orchestra. The climax of the evening was the commendable rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah The program was repeated in the corridors December 23, the day before the Factory closed for Christmas vacation. The combined Glee Clubs sang at the community Washington Bi-Centennial program. At the spring concert some of the numbers sung by the girls were Calm Be Thy Sleep, by Noble Cain, Dawn, a dramatic number by Curran, and Were My Songs with Wings Provided, by Hahn.

Hartley Manners, was pre- sented to two well-filled ,houses by the masters of Thornton, March 31 and April 1. The play was capably coached by Miss M. M. Sexauer. The action of the play centered around Peg, a poor lrish girl from New York, who becomes an heiress to her uncle's estate, and goes to England to live with her aristocratic aunt and cousins. The matter of class distinction arises, and Peg is out of place in her new surroundings. She finds a friend in a man whom she knows only as Jerry, She later learns that he is an English noble- man attracted by her lrish charm. Peg grows homesick for her father who is in New York, and threatens to return to him. Jerry convinces her that they can be happy in spite of differences, and everything ends happily. The title role was commendably played by Margaret Wall. Fred Palmer took the part of Jerry. Dudley Smith received much praise for the way in which he played the role of Alaric Chichester, the effeminate cousin of Peg. Barbara Smith had the role of Ethel, the haughty sister of Alaric. Ruth Vale portrayed Mrs. Chichester, Peg's proud aunt. Bruce Waddell was a true villain as Christian Brent. The part of Montgomery Hawkes, a lawyer, was taken by Eugene Barna. Rudolph Zajicek acted the role of Jarvis, a butler, and Mary Luella Hurst was Bennett, the maid. Irene Staton and .lack Wass, assisted by Mr. R. B. Smith, adviser of masters, were in charge of ticket sales. The assistant managers were Doris Baker, Mil- dred Bloom, William Ebert, George Gibson, James Grenier, Hellen Kinsey, Vir- ginia Marquardsen, Wilbur Morrison, Tom Noble, Fred Ring, Collette Scully, Homer Smith, Robert Sutton, Ellen Thomsen and Irene Vandenberg.

Journalists and Quill and Scroll The Thorntonitej' the official house organ of the Factory, has existed and thrived since 1914, when it was begun under the .direction of Miss Clara I. Stalker. During the fiscal year 1931-32 this bi-weekly newspaper was pub- lished by the journalism class under the instruction of Miss Loudene Anderson and the faculty supervision of Mr. 0. F. Umbaugh. A rotating staff was used by the class, thus giving sev-eral people the responsibility of being Editor-in- Chief. Most of the journalists received experience in all lines of publication. The 1932 yearbook was published by this group. Mr. Umbaugh was the chief adviser of this report, and Miss Anderson assisted with the copy and proof. A new activity was begun at Thornton during the year. This was a chap- ter of Quill and Scroll, the International Honor Society for High School Jour- nalists. In December eight charter members were initiated. They were as fol- lows: Virginia Marquardsen, Adeline Hammermeister, Dorothy Burke, Dorothy Wall, Marguerite Begnoche, Edward Heitmann, Clifford Ingraham, and Wayne Doolen. Other journalists were initiated into the society as they proved their ability. The journalists were active in the Greater Chicago Press Guild, attending its monthly sessions at McKinlock Campus, and participating in the annual authors' tournament. These reporters were active not only in the publication of the house organ, but also in advertising Factory affairs through community and metropolitan newspapers.

Extra-Curricular Contestants Many contestants entered the various oratorical and literary contests open to Thornton employees during this fiscal year. The most extensive were the George Washington essay, oratorical and art poster contests. Every student in American history prepared either an essay or an oration on one of the eight suggested phases of Washington's life. Margaret Wall, William Kane and Ernst Pyclik were selected as Thornton's three best orators. In the final elimination Margaret Wall was chosen to represent the local Factory. In the district contest at Lake View Factory she placed second, missing first place by one point. Margaret's subject was George W'ashington's Balance of Character. The essays of Virginia Marquardsen and Verna Coale, both on the subject George Washington, the Farmer at Mt. Vernon, were submitted to the County Superintendent of Schools to represent Thornton in the essay division of the dis- trict contest. Honorable mention in the local essay contest went to Hazel I-Ieffren, Donald Haines, Jessie Kerr, Ruth Muilenberg, Tom Noble, Collette Scully, Edith Steinko, Irene Vandenberg, Louise Van Laningham and Dorothy Wall. The art poster contest in connection with the George Washington Bi-Cen- tennial celebration was sponsored by the Union League Club of Chicago. Thirteen employees participated in this phase of the contest at Thornton. Posters by Nestor Wroblicky and Clarence Sc.hwiesow were selected for entries in the district contest. The fourth annual essay contest by the Gorgas Memorial Institute had as its subject this year Mosquitoesg Their Danger as a Menace to Health, and the Importance of Their Control.

DIE DEUTSCHE ECKE: Ernst Pyclik, President: Willi Richter, Vice-President: Alberta Maxwell, Secretaryg Dorothy Heimsoth, Treasurer. Latlnl In 1928 the employees in the Latin Department organized a clumb which was named Latini. This organization, under the sponsorship of Miss E. W. Scribner, has aEorded many employees a diversion from regular work. At an early meeting the following officers were elected: Robert Kinsey, foreman, Kenneth Chapman, assistant foreman, Leonard Santeford, cleerkg and Frederic Bright, treasurer. During the course of the current fiscal year the club constitution was revised by a committee of which Dorothy Barry was chairman. A new activity of Latini was to 'begin a Latin library of reference books and novels. At the language club party several Latin Club members presented a stunt, The Trial of Five Conspira- tors? Die Deutsche Ecke Two years ago employees at Thornton organized Die Deutsche Ecke in order to promote the German language and interests at Thornton. At a meeting in October, 1931, Ernst Pyclik, a native German, was re-elected foreman of this de- partment. Willi Richter, assistant foreman, Alberta Maxwell, clerk, and Dorothy Heimsoth, treasurer, were the other officers during this year. Mr. G. C. Kettel- kamp was sponsor. Die Deutsche Ecke met after business hours on the first Wednesday of each month. German songs and plays and a social hour were enjoyed by the members at these times. The German representatives at the combined language clubs' party presented a radio-television stunt.

Le Cercle Francais' As early as 1924 Thornton Factory has had a sufiicient number of French employees to make possible the French Club. On November 7 a group of members, accompanied 'by Miss Florence Wun- derlich, sponsor, attended Le Bourgeois G-entilhommen at the Goodman theater. Amy Selkirk, Collette Scully, Margaret Wall, Mary McCall, Louis Hall, and Dana Connell presented a comedy La Faim Est un Grand Inventeur -before the club at a meeting January 27. A Punch and Judy show was the French Club's contribution to the enter- tainment at the language clubs' party January 15. Irene Vandenberg, Kirsten Richards, Henry Hall, and Gordon Grover arranged the performance. Spanish Club Employees of Thornton who are interested in Spain's customs and language are organized into the Spanish Clu-b, which is sponsored by Miss Marjorie Keiler. Members of the Spanish Club who enjoy singing were organized into the Spanish Glee Club. Regular practices of singing Spanish songs were held out- side of 'business hours. Mary McCall was pianist for the singers and Alfred Swetlik and William Morgan accompanied them on the violin. At the language clubs' party held Jan-uary 15, the Spanish Glee Club pre- sented a colorful Spanish balcony scene in costume, the grand finale of which was the Peanut Vendor with samples of his wares distributed to the audience. The club plays an important part in helping to maintain the interest of the Spanish employees of Thornton.

Athedelphi During the fiscal year 1930-31 employees of Thornton who were especially interested in things of a literary or dramatic nature requested Miss Clara Stalker and M1'. E. C. Ohlert to aid them in the organization of a club whose membership would be limited to those employees who were interested in literary and dramatic work. As many of the charter members were masters who did not return to work in the fall, the membership of the club at the beginning of the last fiscal year was small. Owing to a new ruling in the Factory that no person could hold more than one office during the year, temporary officers had to be elected in the fall until it could be determined who were eligible to hold office. Genevieve Halloran was elected chairman, Kirsten Richards, clerkg Gordon Grover, treasurer, and Addi- son Lawton, marshall. Later in the year when the membership of the club had grown suihciently to warrant another election, Addison Lawton was elected foremang Philip Hawley, assistant foreman, Patricia Lennon, clerk, and Rose Boghasen, treasurer. In order to become a memwber of the society those interested had to prove they had some talent to be developed. Candidates for membership who were inter- ested in creative writing had to present samples of their work to a membership committee who voted on them. Candidates interested in dramatics were required to Write and present a short skit or playlet before this same membership com- mittee. Members of Athedelphi have written a play in collaboration, which they hope to sell for the wbenefit of the club.

Hook and Curve The Hook and Curve Clufb is one of the newest organizations at Thornton Factory. It was formed near the close of the 1930-31 fiscal year under the direc- tion of Miss Eva Lieber and Miss Nina Reason, who act as the sponsors of the organization. The activities of Hook and Curve were led by Dorothy Barry, foremang Wil- bur Blume, assistant foremang and Jessie Kerr, clerk, who were elected at the first meeting of the club in October. The club held business meetings at school the fourth Tuesday of each month and social meetings at the homes of various members the second Tuesday of each month. Louise Matson, Adeline Hammermeister, and Alita Dykema were appointed to make up the program committee of the clulb. Helen Horvath, Helen Harms, and Betty Placek made up the social committee. Hook and Curve is an honor organization. Anyone in second semester short- hand who could take and transcribe two lhundred words at fifty words a minute or in third semester shorthand who could take three hundred words at eighty words a minute was eligible for membership in Hook and Curve. A social meeting was held November 10, 1931, at the home of Adeline Ham- mermeister. Games and songs furnished the entertainment. -, The first formal in- itiation of the club was held December 8, 1931, at the home of.Jessie Kerr. Seven members were initiated.

Camera Club Created for the purpose of teaching the fundamentals and the higher prin- ciples of photography to those- employees of Thornton who are interested in this subject, the Camera Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. O. F. Umbaugh and the tutelage of Harold Beck, is a prominent and active organization of the Factory. Early in the year Harry True was elected foremang John Bergan, assistant fore- rnang Scott Vrooman, clerkg and George Hein, treasurer. Members of the club started at the beginning of the study of photography and progressed rapidly. In their study they have covered snap-shot work under varying conditionsg table-top photography, enlarging and portrait work. At first it was planned to have a developing room built in the factory building, but this plan was aibandoned in favor of individual developing outfits built by the various members themselves. At the beginning of the year meetings were held every Monday after busi- ness hours in office 122-A. The Branch Factory conducted a separate club the first semester but combined with the main Factory club the second semester, the day of meeting being changed to Thursday. At the first of the year the meetings were devoted to instruction and discussions. The members followed a textbook in their course of study. Later in the year practical experiments were performed and demonstrations given before the members. The first demonstration was of table-top photography. A microscope and a milling cutter furnished the subjects. The second demon- stration on the manipulation of photographic paper and one lecture on the ma- nipulation of photographic film were scheduled to be delivered by representatives of firms connected with the various phases of the industry of photography.

Home Economics Club As a means of interesting and .helping the girls employed in the Home Eco- nomics Department, the Home Economics Club was organized .during the fiscal year 1924-25. It has gradually increased in importance. The main purpose of the club -was to train the girls as efficient and experienced hostesses and to give them a chance to apply to good advantage what they had already learned. The club progressed satisfactorily this last fiscal year under the gui-dance of Miss Gertrude Rahn. The following oiiicers were s-elected early in the year to lead the club: Miriam Fork, foremang Melba Taylor, assistant foremang Emily Ingwer- sen, clerkg and Betty McGuire, treasurer. Miss Rahn and the foreman appointed a committee of nine members to plan the Work of the clu-b throughout the year, each girl planning the work for o-ne month. The girls appointed were Ruth Muilennberg, Louise Tatge, Hellen Kinsey, Mary Allen, Minerva Facciano, Lucille Koester, Margaret Armitage, Alice Bright, and Murray Haskin. A large part of the girls' training in home economics consists of serving meals, and one of the first objects of the club is to enable them to become efficient hostesses. During the year the girls of the second-year foods classes planned and served meals on a budget. On November 24 and 25 they prepared and served Thanksgiving dinner under the direction of Miss Florence Waterman. The girls in the cooking classes also acted as waitresses at the football 'banquet in the fall and. at the master-journeyman banquet in the spring. The members found that the club as well as their classes did much to' pre- pare them for the useful service during their time at Thornton and in future life.

Lettermenis Club The Lettermen's Club was organized in 1930 under the direction of Coach K. J. Lipe. Only the employees who had earned letters for participation in sports were -eligible for membership. The officers elected for the last fiscal year were Harry Smuczynski, fore- mang Robert Sutton, assistant foremang Adam Int-Hout, clerk-receiverg and Earl Koester, sergeant-at-arms. Coach K. J. Lipe and assistant coaches R. Wyatt and T. B. Huddlestun made up the advisory board. At a meeting of the organization October 30, 1931, Coach Lipe spoke to the members about the many opportunities of the club at Thornton. The foreman appointed Rudolph Zajicek, Fred Ring, and William Ebert to draw up a constitu- tion for the club. The constitution was presented to the boys of Thornton at a special assembly, January 8, 1932. Mr. J. B. Stephens, chairman of the meet- ing, introduced the officers of the clulb. After the foreman read the constitu- tion to the assembly, the meeting was closed with a big Fight, Team, Fight such as rarely is heard at Thornton. As a money-making project the clu-b sponsored a pencil sale during the basketball season. White pencils with the basketball schedule printed in purple on them were sold by the members of the club. Three slips of paper with num- bers were inserted under the erasers of the pencils and prizes vw-ere given to those employees who had the lucky pencils. The Lettermen's Club was the guest of the journeymen at the journeyman-master Valentine party, February 13, 1932.

Stamp Club Although in its first year the Thornton Factory Stamp Clulb has provided many interesting and educational diversions for its twenty-five members. The aim of the club is to give all the collectors of the Factory a better understanding of the hobby and at the same time to promote activities related to it. Under the guidance of Mr. P. G. Wible the club held meetings every Thursday after business hours in Mr. Wible's ofiice. Ofiicers elected for the fiscal year of 1931-32 were: Howard Pratt, foreman, Thomas Speer, assistant foreman, William Caldwell, treasurer, and Frances Speer, clerk. The business meeting usually consisted of discussions on various philatelic activities. At nearly every meeting of the club contests were held. These contests in- cluded identification of countries issuing stamps, identification of certain stamps, or recognition tests in which prizes were awarded. At a special Washington Bi-Centennial, February 25, an appropriate pro- gram was presented. This meeting also served to enlarge the membership of the clulb, as many stamp collectors had previously been unacquainted with it. Several faculty members attended this meeting. The membership of the club, while small at first, has rapidly grown until it now embraces nearly every active collector in the Factory. There are no entrance requirements except that the prospective member must be a serious collector and have a collection of at least one stamp. Thomas Speer, the assistant foreman, has the largest collection in the club, upwards of seven thousand stamps. Frances Speer has a collection of more than five thousand stamps. Many of the members of the organization are underclassmen who will return to the club next year Page Seventy-five THQRNTONITE Honor Rolls Every spring the members of the Thornton faculty select a number of em- ployees to be placed in the National Honor Society. The following conditions govern eligibility to this honor society: 1. Membership in the society is -based on scholarship, servioe, leadership, and character. 2. Those chosen for membership in the society must rank scholastically in the upper twenty-five percent of their class. 3. Not more than fifteen percent of the membership of the class may be chosen. 4. An employee must have rendered some conspicuous service to the Fac- tory and must have at all times manifested a wholesome attitude toward his work in general. 5. The employee must have spent at least one year of steady employment at Thornton Factory. The supreme goal for every employee from the time he begins work in the Factory is to attain this final goal-the National Hon-or Society. Those elected by the instructors are honored at an assembly for upper-classmen and are given a gold pin bearing a torch. Thornton also .honors scholarship alone through the Thornton Honor Roll.

Girls' Club Officers and Board of Control At the request of the girl employees of the Factory for a club in which they could all participate, the Girls' Club was organized January 16, 1916, by Miss Frances Gordon, Girls' Employment Manager. Since its founding as the first of such clubs in the state, the Girls' Club has grown steadily both in variety of ac- tivities and in memwbership. The Board of Control, the Council, and the Division Chairmen compose the governing body of the club. The six major officers are chosen from these three groups. The office of foreman carries with it great responsibilities. Mildred Bloom as foreman for this last fiscal year proved her ability. Else Dooleweerdt, assistant foreman, aided the foreman in her duties. The treasurer and the clerk were chosen from the master members of the Board. Irene Vandenberg filled the office of treasurer and Edith Steinko, the office of clerk. Dorothy Burke was chosen as the speaker of the Council, and Collette Scully was speaker of the Division Chairmen. All the business of the Girls' Club is transacted 'by the Board of Control. Meetings were held the second Tuesday of each month at which the problems of the club were discussed. The eighteen girls elected to this group are those who have shown they are capable of shouldering responsibilities and who understand the organization and needs of the club. In order that any girl may have an equal chance of becoming a Board! mem- ber, no one girl can be elected to this group more than once during her first three years. The master group of girls is allowed six members on the Boardg the jour- neyman members, five, the apprentice group, fourg and the layman group, three.

The Council Many changes must be made in the Girls' Club from time to time as the club grows in membership and activities. It is the duty of the Council to discuss the problems created by the change and to suggest means of solving them. The Council can not vote on matters pertaining to the club but its suggestions are re- ported to the Board of Control by the speaker of the Council. A meeting was held the first Tuesday of each month. Dorothy Burke, the speaker, presided at these meetings. She, with the assistance of Miss Gordon, also planned the program for these. The members showed their enjoyment of the sessions by taking an active part in the discussions. The laymen had charge of the January meeting. Kathleen Winterbauer acted as speaker and Marjorie Hinton as clerk. The master representatives were Josephine Berger, Dorothy Burke, Anna Engelhardt, Helen Horvath, Elsie Meyer, Apolonia Ritt, and Gladys Schroeder. The journeyman members were Mary Allen, Ruth Anderson, Beth Condit, Frances Metz, Martha Nicolson, Margaret Reid, Jean Smith, and Anna Van Es.

The Division Chairmen In order that Miss Frances Gordon, Girls' Employment Manager, may keep account of the girl employees, the Division Chairmen check on the girls in their home offices and report the names of those not present for work. The Division Chairmen are responsible for finding out the cause of the girls' absences. If a girl is absent because of illness, she receives Bowers from the club. If a Division Chairman discovers that a girl has stopped her work at the Factory, the case must be reported to the Employment Manager in order that it may be investi- gated and attempts made to induce the girl to return to her employment. A girl can be a Division Chairman only once during her layman, apprentice, or journeyman years. The Division Chairmen are expected to be present at all general meetings of Girls' Club officers. Eight secretaries of attendance are chosen from this committee. One girl from each class is appointed by Miss Gordon to hold this office for one semester. Some time during the day the secretary comes into the Employment Manager's office and checks over the attendance slips of the Division Chairmen of her class. She keeps a daily record of the absentees. The secretaries of attendance were Leota Seward and Betty McGuire, laymeng Marjorilee Hampton and Elizabeth Ann Beeman, apprenticesg Lois Bohnstengel and Lolita Powers, journeymeng and Alberta Maxwell and Veronica Condon, masters.

Girls are given credit for each semester of all A averages in their solids and are rewarded accordinglyg girls who have from one to four semesters of all A's are given silver key pins with varying numbers of purple stripes. Girls who have received five semesters of all A's are rewarded with a permanent gold key pin. When a girl has received seven semesters of all A's-, her name is engraved on a silver cup, which is placed in the trophy case. At a Girls' Club meeting, September 18, Irene Vandenberg was awarded for six semesters of all A's g Barbara Smith and Dorothy Wall were rewarded for four semesters of all HA work. Iva Louise Petty, Edna Cohrs, Janet Baum- gartner, Marian Mansfield, Helen Woodrich, and Elizabeth Thompson had two. At the scholarship assembly of March 28 Irene Vandenberg' was rewarded for having seven semesters of all A's. Virginia Marquardsen, Dorothy Wall, and Barbara Smith received permanent pins for five semesters of similar achieves ment. Zena-Gray Jolhnson had completed four semesters of all A work. Dorothy Barry, Marian Mansfield, Elizabeth Thompson, and Helen Woodrich were re- warded for three semesters studyingg Louise Allemong and Louise Tatge each had two semesters of the same excellent work. Lillian Ambert, Margaret Ar- mitage, Alice Bright, Murray Haskins, Mary Ellen MacC4ul1ough, and Marion Sachs had completed one semester of all A employment. The four girls who have received five or more semesters are honored by mem- bership in the Owl Club, the organization of the Girls' Club which honors scholarship.

The Business Projects Committees - In order to carry out its many projects the Girls' Club must have some way of financing itself. The club carries out three projects to support its interests. They are the rummage sales, the Christmas card business, and the magazine business. However, the experience which the girls receive in carrying out these projects is more important than the financial aid obtained from them. K t l I l I l I Y l Q. 1. ,Z l' L C ' 1 . l I P l l s . Two rummage sales are held each year. The fall sale is directed by the three upper groups of girls. The two lower groups have charge of the spring sale. A committee consisting of one girl from each home office plans and directs f these sales. The members have as their duties the separating and marking of the 1 garments to be sold, advertising the event in the Factory, distributing handbills, X arranging the store, and clerking in the store the day of the sale. 2 The Christmas card business, although it extends through only the first part , of the year, requires the attention of about twenty girls. Orders must be Ob- ' tained and carefully recorded. The cards must be sorted and wrapped. Money . must be collected and receipts given. Mary Malito, chairman of the Christmas 3 it card committee, had charge of the money received and kept accurate accounts it of the business. Josephine Zmuda, Evelyn Wood, Melba Taylor, Laura Siejna, if and Helen Horvath were the five girls who had charge of the magazine business. 1 ' They recorded subscriptions, investigated prices, sent out letters, and wrote re- 1 ceipts. Laura Siejna had special charge of the money and accounts of this divi- sion of the business projects. 5 1 l . 5 5 i Page Eighty-two li is 5 1 f 1 Y,. ' H ' , .

The House Committee The House Committee of the Girls' Club is made up of six separate groups, couriers, custodians, hostesses, marshalls, readers' committee, and secretaries. The couriers make announcements for the Girls' Club in the .home offices. The couriers were Helen Harrington and Mary Luella Hurst, masters, Grace Howell and Ruth Richards, journeymeng Doretta Baxter, Ruth Cato, Mary Ellen Jones, and Marian Mansfield, apprentices, Helen Briggs, Clarabelle Cummings, Laura Eltzroth, Lois Hank, Louise Davis, and Winnette De Young, laymen. The two custodians, Ruth Richards and Jeanette Santefort, have charge of the Girls' Club property. It is the duty of the hostesses to conduct visitors around the Factory. A thorough knowledge of the organization of the Factory is necesf sary. Ruth Muilenberg, Emily Ingwersen, Adeline Hammermeister, Margaret Far- renkopf and Virginia Marquardsen were trained to do this work. The marshalls are responsible for opening and closing the auditorium doors and for quiet and rapid seating of the girls at Girls' Club assemblies. Doris Baker, Clara Gross, Eva Kass, Elsie Meyer, Genevieve Maranto, Louise Van Lan- ingham, Frances Groner and Mary Intveld composed this committee. The readers' committee, a new feature of the club, has charge of the loan of club magazines. This committee consisted of Barbara Smith, chairman, Jessie Kerr, Martha Nicolson, and Dorthy Sterling. The secretaries, Anna Engelhardt, Eva Kass, Rowena Kreutzburg and Gladys Schroeder, did clerical and stenographic work for the club. Page Eighty-three Apolonia Ritt, Hellen Kinsey, Irene Station.

The Master-Layman Committee Three years ago the Girls' Club instituted a system of giving points to lay- man and apprentice girls for the different activities they participated in around the Factory. Before a girl may be elected to any apprentice office she must have earned at least twenty activity points during her layman year. Unless an apprentice has received at least forty points she may not be elected to any Girls' Club office her journeyman year. In addition to earning the required number of points the layman and apprentice girls must learn the Girls' Club pledge of loyalty and must pass a test on the history of the Girls' Club. After fulfilling all these requirements a layman girl receives a white pin in the shape of a UT. An apprentice girl gets a similar pin in purple. Activity points are given in recognition of any service rendered to the club, the Factory. or the community. The number of points a girl has tio her credit usually represents her interest in Factory life and her willingness to help others. Participation in a Factory activity, joining a Factory organization, taking field trips, reading approved magazines, and attending Factory events are a few of the ways in which a girl may earn points. Members of the master-layman committee shoulder much responsibility. Early every morning they are ready in the office of the Girls' Employment Manager, Miss Gordon, to record the activity points for the laymen. It is the duty of the master-layman committee to increase the interest of the layman girls in earning points. The masters who composed this committee were Irene Staton, chairman, Marguerite Begnoche, Hellen Kinsey, Apolonia Ritt, Zena-Gray Johnson, Mary McCall, and Ellen Thomsen.

The Refreshment Stand Crew No football game is complete without hot dogs and candy. In tense moments, when Thornton has the ball on the five-yard line, first down and ten to go, or when the opposing team has completed a perfect forward pass and the ball is crossing the goal line, spectators are never too interested to forget hot dogs or to hearken to the cry of the appetite. Perhaps the most popular persons at the football games, aside from the players themselves, were the five girls who sold hot dogs, candy, gum and peanuts in the bleachers. They were always attractively dressed in purple dresses with white collars and cuffs and purple and white polka-dot ties. They worked conf tinuously selling their wares. Now and then they could be seen running to the shack to refill their baskets. In equal importance with the bleacher girls were the production girls, the cooks. They were distinguished 'by their white dresses and purple smocks. The demands of the excited, but hungry, spectators constantly kept them at work. Helen Saplis was chairman of the refreshment stand committee. It was her duty to do all the buying, to supervise the preparation and sale of other refreshments, and to keep account of all money connected with this project. The cooks were Hattie Rice, Anna Van Es and Doris Miller. Margaret Reid, Helen Harms, Marjorie Voss, Marian Mansfield and Kathleen Condon sold at the bleachers. Each girl received a Girls' Club pin as wages. Page Eighty-five 7 .

Boys' Club Officers and Directors At the beginning of the fiscal year the boys assembled in the shop auditorium for the purpose of electing the Board of Directors. The four masters chosen for this honor were Rudolph Zajicek, Harry Krogh, Jack Wass, and Edward Heitmann. Adam Int-Hout, Edward Kipley, and Jack Hansen were selected as the journeyman members. The apprentices chose John Hurson and Robert Bent- ley as their representatives, and Louis Boudreau was elected as the member from the laymen. The Board of Directors convened on Thursday, October 1, for the purpose of electing the Boys' Club officers. Rudolph Zajicek was chosen from the eli- gible masters to act as foreman. The other officers chwosen by the Board were: Adam Int-Hout, assistant foremang Edward Kipley, second assistant foremang Jack Hansen, clerkg and Harry Krogh, treasurer. Soon after the election Dean O. F. Umbaugh called a meeting of all boys to inaugurate the new offcers and the Board of Directors. Mr. Umbaugh dis- cussed the purpose and regulations of the organization and read the charter. Harry Smuczynski, assistant foreman during the- year 1930-31, presented the charter to the new president. Assuring his fellow 'workers that they had chosen the most capable workers for their leaders, he introduced Ruldiolph Zajicek, foreman. During the year 1931-32 the officers have carried out their obligations faith- fully. The foreman has been an ardent instructor to the laymen. He spoke to the stockholders at a P.T.A. meeting which was in charge of the employees. Foreman Zajicek was ably assisted by journeymen Int-Hout and Kipley, the assistant foreman.

Hi-Y Club The Hi-Y Club of the Thornton Character Factory was formed during the fiscal year of 1924. Dean O. F. Umbaugh and a group of energetic workers were responsible for its organization. In 1929 the leadership was taken over by In- structor E. C. Ohlert, but in 1931 he found it necessary to resign and Instructor L. Britton accepted the sponsorship. Through the conscientious efforts of these leaders and the members of the organization the Hi-Y Club has done much toward fulfilling its purpose: To create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community the standards of Christian character. In accomplishing its goal this branch of the Young Men's Christian Association has rbeen unusually useful in the business of producing fine character at Thornton. On Wednesday, October 17, the Hi-Y held the first meeting of the Hscal year 1931-32 in Mr. L. Britton's workroom. The purpos-e of this meeting was to elect ofiicers. Those chosen were: foreman, William Hurson, master, assistant fore- man, John Vaughan, master, clerk, Gust Melonas, journeyman, treasurer, Ernest Calvano, master. These competent officers did much to help the Hi-Y through one of its most successful years. At the November meeting the members selected representatives to attend the Older Boys' Conference at the First Methodist Church, Decatur, Illinois, No- vember 27, 28, 29. Gust Melonas designed a triangular seal for the Hi-Y, which will be used in the future for ceremonial initiation work. Page Eighty-nine Jin A.

Umbaugh instill in the minds of the laymen the fundamental orders of discipline and Factory safety and conduct. The leaders who take charge of these meetings are always master workers who are Well acquainted with shop life and Factory customs. Leadership, scholarship and character are also required for layman advisers. Having entered upon their fourth and last year at the Factory, the masters were able to explain thoroughly the Factory's rules, the method of grading, the importance and rules of study and various other subjects connected with the Factory. In addition, the advisers encouraged school spirit and urged the laymen to participate in extra-curricular activities. On Tuesday, during the seventh period, Jack Wass and William Ebert super- vised a group of 46 laymen in workshop 101. Herb-ert Iverson, Harold Heiden- reich and Fred Palmer were in charge of 44 laymen in office 227 on Wednesdays during the first period. Forty-five laymen were under the guidance of John Lang- hoff, Clifford Ingraham and Dwight Jenkins during the eighth period on Wednes- days in room 101. In ofiice 217 Eugene Barna, John Bergan and Donald Ander- son met a group of 47 laymen on Thursdays during period eight. Period one on Fridays in room 227, 42 laymen were spoken to by Raymond McMorris, Elmer Rasche and Stanley Szlaius. Harry Krogh, Jack Hodge, Richard Ashvbrook and 46 laymen met in office 110 at the fifth period on Fridays. Edward Hoffman, Wayne Doolen and Edward Heitmann advised 44 laymen on Fridays, during the eighth period, in room 102.

House Guides The growth of Thornton Factory has been rapid since 1898, when only a few employees were needed to run its machines. When work began anew, Tuesday, September 8, about 1600 students filled the workshops of Thornton. A group of house guides was chosen to help the incoming laymen and avoid confusion. Dean O. F. Umbaugh appointed William Jones, master, chairman of the house com- mittee with instructions to organize a complete committee. This organizing proved quite a task as much care was needed in selecting the members. Those appointed were: Ernest Kutscher, Dennis Merritt, Hollis Saalman, Edward Heit- mann, Harry Stanley, Herbert Brown and Alvin Braaten. All those appointed were masters in the Factory. Th-e duties of the house guides were many. They acquainted the new-comers with the Factory, and on numerous occasions ushered visitors through the huge workshops. Whenever a new worker received employment during the year, a house guide was always on hand to acquaint him with the Factory. At the football games the committee was active in helping the spectators to find suitable seats, thus helping to do away with much confusion. The house guides were also active at the major Boys' Club event of the year -the annual stag, in honor of the Thornton boys' dads, who are the stock- holders in the Factory. The 1932 stag occurred on March 19, with Mr. McVey, superintendent of the Factory, as principal speaker. On this occasion the house guides conducted the dads through the shops, and pointed out the interesting fea- tures of the Factory. Page Ninety-one Y l 1 - M . 'ff ii A ' t.

F. Um- baugh and made plans for a chess tourney, checker contest, and harmonica contest. Eugene Barna and Ernst Pyclik, masters, were appointed managers of the chess tourney. Afber the beginners had received instructions and learned to play. the contest was begun in earnest. There were ten entrants and each player met nine opponents, playing a two-game series. One point was given for every game won and a half point for a tie. Ernst Pyclik was declared champion after he had won 16 games, tied one, and lost one. Journeyman Clifford Shipe was second with a record of 14 wins, one tie, and three losses. Frederic Bright, a journey- man, was third. The checker contest was under the personal management of Ernst Pyclik and began March 7. There were twenty-four contestants who entered in the begin- ning and all but three were eliminated. The elimination of players was gradual and the final games were played Tuesday, March 15. Louis Sannito, Alsbert Fisher and Gerald Walker were the winning players, finishing first, second and third respectively. Nestor Wroblicky was in charge of the harmonica contest, which occurred March 10 in room 114. Journeyman Gerald Walker was awarded first prize, master Herbert Brown, second prize, and apprentice George Conner, third prize. Yearbooks and Boys' Club pins were given as prizes. Miss F. Samuels, Nestor Wroblicky and Earl Meserve were the judges. Other contestants besides the Winners were Loren Conner, John Bray, Frank Scaglione and Richard Anoe.

DE WITT tory at Gary, Indiana, This first game took place on the local athletic iield. Thornton lost the opener 19-7. Klein scored the only touchdown for Thornton on a 38-yard run. Hart and Jordan, colored star backiield men from Froebel, did the running for Gary. Victory was snatched from Thornton in the last minute of play in a heart-breaking game at East Aurora. Fate stepped against Thornton when Nadel- hoffer, from Aurora, fumbled the 'ball on his three-yard line. A T.T.H.S. man touched the ball, which rolled out of bounds. After calling the play a touchback and no score, the referee changed his decision, giving Aurora 'a touchdown and victory. Thornton's s e c o n d team failed to stop Captain Lind- berg at Lockport and lost 6-0. The first-string Wildcats, fa- tigued from the game the night before at Aurora, saw little action in this encounter. On October 10 Thornton splashed through a sea of mud and water to defeat her tradi- tional rivals, Bloom, 6-0. Klein, the Thornton flash, was cred- ited with the touchdown. Thornton, centralizing her at- tack against Mario Galiene, held the upper hand' through the entire game. A f t e r the touchdown in the third quarter Thornton again threatened to score, but the final gun stopped play with the ball on Bloom's 15-yard line. Page Ninety-four THORNTONITE Football Season fSecond HalfJ Thornton 'b eg a n her tri- umphal march to the South Suburban league championship when the Factory laborers en- countered and defeated Thorn- ton Fractional October 24. Miles Klein, energetic half- back, c r o s s e d the goal line twice, his second touchdown coming after a 70-yard run. The first was preceded by a 46-yard jaunt. Fred Ring ac- counted for the extra point. Now holding the South Sub- urban lead, the Wildcats jour- neyed to Chicago Heights on November 17 to play their friendly enemy, Bloom. Klein again starred, scoring two touchdowns. Harry Smuczyns- ki plunged over the line for the thirteenth point. This was the first time since 1903 that Thornton won two games from Bloom in one year. Kankakee was the next rival to fall before the Wildcats' at- tack. By virtue of this 20-0 win Thornton carried off the championship without 'b e i n g s c o r e d against in a league game. Playing on an extremely soft and muddy field, neither team showed much running. Throughout the encounter Klein out-kicked Memenga to keep the ball in Kankakee's territory from whence short dashes made the scoring pos- sible.

Basketball-Lights Make way for the 1932 lightweight basketball champions of the South Sub- urban league! The Thornton Factory lights, under Coach Bob S. Wyatt, went through the season at a rapid clip, and staged' a winning streak which no con- ference team could halt. When the 1932 season opened the Thornton l1ghtS were ' ' ' d th not the overwhelming favorites to win the championship. Not only ha ey made an unimpressive record in 1931, but they had many new men on the squad. However, they upset the league with eight conference wins and two losses. The players who saw the most action were J. Hodge, T. Nisbet, J. Hansen, F. Mitchell, J. Vogler, F. Reid, V. Caress and H. Roush. Nisbet, Hodge and Hansen played on the Joliet tournament team.

Indoor sessions began early in the spring, and outdoor practice started in April. Through diligent afternoon practice on the golf course and through training the team acquired a stride that made it one of a championship caliber. Throughout the year the golf team maintained its leadership in its league. Under Faculty Manager Beeman the golf team defeated all its conference foes at least once, with the exception of Kankakee, whom it did not meet in confer- ence competition. The Thornton team easily won its conference championship at the league meet. Harold Holtz, Thornton individual, won a year's playing mem- bership at Cherry Hill golf course for having' low score in the league meet. Thus Thornton won both the team championship and the league individual champion- ship during the 1931 season. Frank Calpeno and Harold Holtz entered the state meet at Champaign, but failed to place. Letters in 1931 golf were awarded to Frank Calpeno, Harold Holtz, Tony Caldanaro, Reno Caldanaro, Robert Newhart, Robert Kraemer and William Ebert, at an assembly after the season had closed. Thornton is in a golf league- with University High, Bloom, Blue Island, Thornton Fractional and Kankakee. W Prospects are bright for Mr. Beeman's having another championship team in 1932. In two early games in the new season Thornton's golfers defeated Thornton Fractional 18-6 and Thornton Junior College 1352-lk. Calpeno, New- hart, Kraemer, Klein and Ebert reported in 1932.

Several lettermen from the 1930 season returned to the track for the 1931 season, thus making the 1931 team an experienced one. During the spring of 1931 Thornton met and conquered her conference foes consistently. Thornton entered about 18 boys in the Oak Park Relay, a pre-sea- son event on April 3. On April 18 the local trackmen met Fenger in a dual meet on the Thornton field, and defeated their rivals, 49-12. The next meet was the Ottawa Relay, similar to the Oak Park Relay, in which Thornton scored 25 points. In a triangular meet on May 2, Thrornton finished first, Kankakee second, and Calumet City third. At the District State meet at LaGrange, May 9, Thornton rang up a total of 11 points, scored chiefly by Zajicek, Rhordanz, and Smuczynski. Thornton's trackmen defeated Bloom 77-27 on May 20, on the local athletic field. The South Suburban league meet was played foff at Stagg Field, University of Chicago, May 23. For the second year in succession Thornton 'won this meet, scoring 48542 points. Kankakee -was second with 31175 points and University High third with 2895 points. Bloom, Blue Island and Thornton Fractional finished next in order. The first places taken by Thornton were won 'by Rhordanz in the 440- yard event, Connell in the 120-yard high hurdles and the 220-yard low hurdles, Price in high jumping, and Zajicek in the shot put.

Frank Sandor, Thornton diver, demonstrated his unusual ability by winning first in his event, ringing up a score of 74.4 points. Thornton next X met Calumet City here on January 15, and won by 10 points. The final score 2, 'iii was 38-28. Thornton took five of seven events. The tankers journeyed to the University High pool, January 27, and trimmed if ' their rivals, 45-21. The 160-yard relay was the only event lost by Thornton. 5 On January 29 the Factory swimmers defeated Kankakee by a score of 45-21. . Sandor again took first place in diving. Molnar won two events, and Hornyak and M, Kipley took first place in their races. The swimmers lost to Cal-umiet City, Feb- 52 4 f ruary 12, by five points, the score being 40-35. Fenger defeated Thornton 37-27 on February 16. Hornyak, Kipley and Sandor won first places for Thorn- ton in their events. isa . . . University High was soundly whipped iby Thornton February 19, when Thorn- ton took first and second places in every event to win, 54-12. Kipley, Molnar, Swetlik and Sandor won the first places. Kankakee met defeat at the hands of the Thornton tankers on February 26, by a score of' 45-21, Molnar, Swetlik and Kipley turning in victories for Thornton. The Factory swimmers defeated Bowen 36-28, on February 23, demonstrating their ability against first-class competition. iii' f . Page One Hundred One j, '15 9+ , A ..., .. f E-.-.f 1:h 4 R- zf': .'

Intra-Mural Athletics For the benefit of those employees who have neither the time nor the ability to participate in varsity athletics, the Factory conducts an intra-mural pro- gram throughout the different sport seasons of the year. Director of Physical Education G. R. Valbert has full charge of this division of the Factory activities. The first sport to be taken up was basketball. Two different leagues were formed: an inter-class league, with representative teams from laym-en, appren- tices, journeymen and mastersg and a shop league consisting of Vocational, Indus- trial, and Rotating divisions. The masters, under the management of Fred Palmer, emerged victorious in the first league, winning six games and losing two. Deciding a champion in the shop league was a more complicated project, since the Vocational and Industrial divisions each contained five teams while the Rotating division had six teams. The games were played in the Factory gym- nasium with the Lettermen acting as ofiicials. The finals found the Millers, Vocational division, pitted against the Sawdust Ramblers, Industrial league. The game was played at the Buda gymnasium, January 15, to decide the cham- pionship. At the final gun the score was 22 to 17, the Ramblers on the heavy end of the score. Baseball, an innovation in intra-murals, was added to the list of athletics, because of the fact that baseball had been dropped from the varsity schedule. Several class and shop teams were formed and as soon as the unpropitious April weather lbroke, practice was begun and competition quickly became keen. An interclass track and field meet late in the spring and an interclass swimming meet finished the year s intra-mural events. Page One Hundred Two 'l' ll H R N 'l' O N IT E Trophies At the head of the main staircase on the second floor of the Factory build- ing stands the trophy case in which the trophies of Thornton's prowess on the football field, the fbaseball diamond, the basketball floor and the tennis courts are kept. Nine of these trophies were won by Thornton's athletes during the last three fiscal years. The lightweight basketball team for 1932 won the South Suburban Cham- pionship and the accompanying trophy. The 1931 football team earned another cup for Thornton's collection by winning the league championship. The 1931 baseball nine tied with Blue Island's nine for the league cup. In 1930 the nine came through with three wins nd l ' l silver cup for first place. a one oss in eague competition, winning the T'he 1929-30 basketball hfeavyweights who came through all league games undefeated and who also led the league in scoring gained a cup. In the district tournament at Joliet Factory in the spring of 1930, Thornton's 'basketball men brought additional glory to the Factory, winning from Crane, Joliet, Lemont and Bowen to lbe acclaimed district champions, receiving a statuette trophy. Six years ago a trophy was offered to the winner of the Thornton-Bloom game. For the first time Thornton came into possession of this trophy during the 1930 football season. The trophy was kept by Thornton by two wins during the 1931 season. The 1930 football team won the South Suburban champion- ship trophy, a figure of a football player mounted on a silver pedestal, by virtue of one win and three ties. The names of Gwendolyn Soothill, Irene Staton, and Hellen Kinsey were engraved- on the Girls' club tennis cup in recognition of their winning the girls' tennis tournament held in the fall of 1930.

The inter-period tourneys were held first. The winners of the period cage tourney, the third period team, defeated the ninth period girls by a score of 28-21. Th-e winning team was composed of Elsie Meyer, Clara Gross, Apolonia Ritt, Genevieve Maranto, Phyllis Genovese, Delores Lehman, Margaret Simmons, Rita St. Aubin, Alita Dykema, and Dorothy Heimsoth. Girls obtaining positions on period teams automatically won places on the class squads from which first and second class teams were chosen. In the inter- class tourney the master girls tied with the journeyman girls to win the basket- ball championship. The masters won from the layman first team lby a score of 34-8. The journeyman second team remained undefeated, the decisive game being with the apprentices, which the journeymen won 24-15. The master class first team was composed of Elsie Meyer, Eva Kass, Collette Scully, Clara Gross, Marguerite Begnoche, Irene Staton, Rita St. Aubin, Gladys Schroeder, and Genevieve Maranto. Girls on the journeyman second team were Elizabeth Palus, Alice Perkins, Mettie Avants, Ruth Anderson, Lucretia Shel- drake, Louise Tatge, Wilma Spangler, and Florence Wagner. Rita St. Aubin was elected basketball manager. At the end of the season the G.A.A. members enjoyed a wbask-etball spread and hike. Contrary to custom, no varsity teams were chosen, players being given sufficient recognition of their sup-eriority by election to class teams. Both the inter-period and inter-class teams were chosen by Miss Dorothy Dodge, Miss Martha Carr, and Miss Eleanor Moreland, instructors of Girls' Physi- cal Education.

THORN YONITII Branch Factory Report The Thornton Branch Factory was first opened for business on September 19, 1927, in order to give the Thornton employees an opportunity for further training Without leaving the township. The Branch Factory has 'built up and maintained a high standard of training- throughout the middle west, and offers two years of training which are acceptable at any higher institution. The Branch Factory began activity for the fiscal period 1931-32 on Sep tember 21, with a record application for employment. As the enrollment neared capacity, it was found nec-essary to restrict registration to those employees who had been transferred from the main Factory. One hundred ninety men and women were given employment in the institution. The Branch Factory offers the following courses of training: pre-commerce, pre-dental, pre-engineering, pre-legal, pre-medical and the literature, arts and science curricula. There are courses available in music, accounting, chemistry, English, economics, engineering, French, German, history, mathematics, music, physics, political science, zoology and physical education. The pre-commerce curriculum is the most used course of training. After two years' employment at the Branch Factory followed by two years at a higher institution, an employee studying this course may secure a degree of Bachelor of Business Administration. The two years' work at the Branch Fac- tory without further employment fits one for secretarial or 'business adminis- trative positions. The pre-d-ental and pre-medical curricula are primary steps to the degr-ees of Doctor of Dentistry and Doctor of Medicine. The pre-engineering course is preparatory to specialization in the engineering profession. A prerequisite for a legal profession may be secured by two years' employ- ment at the Branch Factory. The literature and arts curriculum is preparatory to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The employee may major in English, history, or a foreign language. After this two-year preparatory course one may either enter a business pro- fession or prepare for a. teaching career by further study. Two of the four years' work required for t-he degree of Bachelor of Science may be completed at the Branch Factory. In this course the employee may major in mathematics, chemistry or vbotany. Acquisition of the Bachel0r's degree 'fits one for teaching or industrial work. Besides the excellent work otfered by the Branch Factory the institution offers many other inducements for employment. The employees have access to an excellent reference and reading library. The main Factory swimming pool is open to the Branch Factory employees. The Branch Factory offers many facili- ties which usually are pres-ent only in th-e larger institutions. The Branch Factory offers each year to a student who has 'been graduated with first honors from any preparatory institution in Cook County a gscholarship granting free tuition for two years. The purpose is to promote high standards in the Branch Factory. All -employees are req-uired to take the final exami- nation conducted at the end of each semester. This prepares them for work in higher institutions. Mr. James Beck is the Dean of the Branch Factory and Mr. William McVey is general superintendent. Miss Mildred Anderson is the Dean of Women.

Co-Ed Club In order to band together the women employees of the Branch Factory the Co-ed Club was -organized under the direction of Miss Mildred Anderson, Women's Employment Manager. During the fiscal year 1931-32 the club divided itself into ten groups of about ten women, each group headed by an apprentice. At intervals during the year each group sponsored a tea for other women employees, wives of in- structors, and visitors from other Factories. Instead of the annual tea, the Co-ed Club this year held a Mother-Daughter Banquet. At this time each group was responsible for its .own table appointments and entertainment. College Club To begin the fiscal year of 1931-32 the members of the College Club met in the club room to select officers. Only men with high qualifications were eligible. The result of this meeting was as follows: Gordon Adler, for-emang Alex Kerr, assistant foremang David Cohen, treasurerg and Craig Wurmle, clerk. The College Club was organized to promote better fellowship among the -em- ployeesg ofiices were .on the first Hoor of the Thornton Factory. In cooperation with the Co-ed Club the College Club presented the play, Meet the Wife. For the first time in its history the club held a Dads' Banquet on February 27 of this year. Two other stagzbanquets were given: the first, a welcoming st-ag to the incoming laymen, and the second, a farewell stag to the outgoing ap- prentices.

Comment allez-vous ce matin? This and other phrases have become familiar in the workshops of the Branch Factory because of the many employees who speak French. Much credit for the popularity of the French language should go to the French organization, L'Alliance Francaise. All of the proceedings of the clulb were conducted in French. During the past year the club was headed by a layman, Sylvia Meyer, and was s-ponsored by Miss Mildred An- derson. Throughout the year meetings were held at the homes of various employees. At the February meeting the employ-ees of the Thornton Factory gave a Punch and Judy show. Another interesting meeting was held at the home of Charlotta Goss, a former employee. Deutscher Verein Deutscher Verein, a new organization among the German-speaking elem-ent of the Branch Factory -employees this year, was formed at the suggestion of Mr. W. Richards of the German Department of the Branch Factory at the be- ginning of this fiscal year. Th-e club was organized to create a greater circle of friendships among the employees of th-e Branch Factory who were interested in Germany's language and customs. At each meeting of the club German was spoken almost entirely. Exceptionally good speakers of German were often present and spoke on timely topics.

Meet The Wife Cooperating with each other the Co-ed Club and the College Club of the Branch Factory pres-ented the three-act comedy, Meet the Wife, in the audi- torium of the Thornton Factory on the evenings of November 20 and 21. The play was directed by Mr. E. C. Ohlert, an instructor in the main Factory. The action of the play centered around Gertrude Lennox, a gracious but domineering person, and her daughter Doris Bellamy, who had a difficult time marrying the right person. Gertrude thought that Victor Staunton, an artist with asthma and fiat feet, was the right one. In fact when Victor proposed to her she accepted without a murmur and promptly began calling him my sonf' Her elation was shared neither 'by her husband, Harvey Lennox, a middle class real estate dealer, nor by Doris, who had an idea that Gregory Brown, young New York newspaper reporter, was the only one. How the affairs at heart and hand were straightened out was climaxed by the arrival of Phillip Lord, not-ed author, as Gertrude's house guest. After his arrival it was revealed that Phillip Lord was in reality Gertrude's former husband whom she believed to have been killed in an earthquake. Then trouble and fun reigned in the 'fHouse that Gertrude Built. The cast of 'tMeet the Wife was headed by Julia Vrooman as Gertrude Len- nox. Other characters were: Harvey Lennox, James Kinghamg Doris Bellamy, Sylvia Meyer, Gregory Brown, David Cohen and William Wognumg Phillip Lord, Gordon Adler, Victor Staunton, Charles Hume, William, the butler, Orville Bright, Alice, the maid, Olga Maloni. Meet the Wife, which was written by Lynn Starling, had long runs in both Chicago and New York. Page One Hundred Sixteen W.: fllflklfxlflxlll Coach C. C.

Men's Basketball The Branch Factory team began the season with only four men on the squad from last year's championship team. Coach C. C. Stegmeir produced a team during the fiscal year 1931-32 which at times gave dimculty to the con- ference leaders. The strong point of the team was their ability to stage last- minute attacks. In this way a number of games was won by the Branch Factory cagers. During the past season the basketeers won four games while losing six. LaGrange, North Park and Concordia were the teams defeated. The last was beaten twice. Joliet and Lisle won two games each from Thornton, and La Grange and Concordia one -each. The regular line-.up consisted of Kerr and Hawkins, forwardsg Cornish, centerg Vogler and Lincoln, guards. Doheny also saw much action on the basketball floor. North Park Joliet . . . LaGrange .

Women's Athletic Association Guided by the principle that all work and no play makes Mary a dull girl, Miss Martha Carr sponsored the women's athl-etic association in the Branch Fac- tory. This organization is now three years old. Any woman employee may be- come a member by making 100 points, first teams counting 100 points, second teams '75, and first place in a tennis, ping-pong, or swimming meet 25 points. A chevron is awarded to an employee who earns 200 points, and a higher award, a letter, is given to any woman who earns 600 points during her two years of em- ployment. A further honor, in the form of a bar, is given for each 100 points over 600. The W.A.A. sponsors all women's athletics in the Branch Factory. During the past year the W.A.A. sponsor-ed the first hockey play-day to be given by a factory in the middle west. At this time the W.A.A. was hostess to employees from six Chicago factories. In January the W.A.A. was a guest at a play-day sponsored 'by the Branch Factory of the J. Sterling Morton Factory. The W.A.A. also sponsored tournaments in basketball, volleyball, and swimming between the Co-ed groups. In these tournaments the Gamma group was victorious in basket- ball and the Zeta group in volleyball. Because of 'bad weather the inter-class hockey tournament was postponed, however, for the first time since the founding of the Branch Factory, the laymen prov-ed themselves to be stronger than the apprentices by winning three of the tournaments, abasketball, volleyball, and swimming. Marian Shirran was foreman, Julia Vrooman was assistant foremang Helen Beck, treasurerg and June Rose, clerk, for the past year. Of these women only one, Julia Vrooman, was a layman.
