It was morning, the dav.n of a memorable day, as Fath- er Marquette saw for the first time this new land, Uo white man had touched this earth before him. Ho one had marred its natural beauty. Here was a voodl nd, a clear blue sky; here the birds sang, rejoicing in their freedom. Here the Indian dwelt, unharmed by white men's unwelcome presence. Father Marquette, standing on the shores of Lake Michigan, upon the very spot that we proudly call Mar- quette Park, silently thanked God for his faithful guid- ance. The sun rose serenely above the bright blue water, ana he knew that his work had truly begun. His land of opportunity lay before him. This was v;hat he had prryed for, and now, his prayers answered, he must prove himself worthy. Day after day. Father Marquette v;orked faithfully among the Indians, who saw in him a reverent persevering man, busy in his task of teaching them to live and worship righteously. V.’hen Marquette and his small party left this region to resume their journey south, they hc.d unknowingly planted the seed that later blossomed into a great Middle Vest They had begun the westward expansion of a nation, so that it became, not thirteen snail states, but forty- eight united sections of a powerful country. After Father Marquette, came the hunters and trappers and later, the covered wagons. Each man was a pioneer, and each homestead,a thorn in the flesh of the wilderness. Kany Indians were driven from their primitive dv;ellings and forced to seek refuge by moving westward and away from the intruding white man. In their tracks they left their knowledge of corn growing, of fishing, rnd of huntin'. Time marches or.l In 1837, 164 yec.rs after Father Marquette landed on the shore of Lake Michigan, the famous Gibson Inn was op n- ed where Froebel School is novr located. It was run by Mrs. Gibson primarily for the purpose of providing a lodging for stage coach travelers. Thore werc only a few farms in this region, and Indians were .-till roaming tho v ildcrness. From Pittsburgh, in 1858, cam.e George Tolle, a German manufacturer of surgical instruments. He invested a good deal in land in this region that later -was named Tollcston in his honor. By 1862, most of tho Indians had left, and in that year the first public school opened Here, in a portable building, Liss Hattie Thomao taught ten pioneer pupils. Tolleston made slow progross until 1905, when the U. Steel Corporation began constructing the steel mills at the tip of Lake Michigan. 6 : i It was not long before Gary sprang up, providing homes for the mill workers. This community soon outgrew Tolles- ton so in 1910, Tolleston was annexed to Gary. In that year the'biggest property boom in history took place. Also, the Gary School System, founded by Mr. William A. Wirt, began to gain fame. Time marches on: . Nineteen hundred and twenty—three marked t..e birth ot Tolleston School. Hr. H. S. Jones, director of social stud- ies, presided as principal during the first year. His suc- cessor’ was Kiss Lola 3. Peai-y. She led Tolleston through __ ,- its development from a primary to a junior high school, and $ ; 5 it was Hiss Pearcy's fondest desire that Tolleston would; ■ f i some day graduate its first high school class. All her aims were directed toward this end, hut she did not live to see her ambition fulfilled. In January, 1934, she quietly passed _ on, but the memory of her kindly spirit will forever remain dear to the hearts of all who knew her. ■ = Mr. James W. Standley became principal in 1934. Kis l| progressive ideas and plans began to take form when it was announced that Tolleston would at last have a senior high announce a — . school. Therefore, each following year an additional graa$ - was added. Time marches on! The day is almost here when Tolleston will graduate its first senior class. On that day the dreams of Father Mar- quette, George Tollo,Miss Thomas, Miss Pearcy, Mr. Standley, and every loyal Tollestonian will be realized. But this is not the end, by any moans, for time will march crij and with it will march the progress of Tolleston. 7 8 BOARD OF EDUCATION May A Patterson, President James A.

Standley came to Tolleston School as principal, the work was planned so that students might complete their entire high school course here. Owing to this arrangement, this year’s 90 Seniors have the honor of being the first grad- uating class. Because the Seniors have advanced with the school, they are charter members of several clubs and organizations. They have held high offices in the Student Council since it was first organized. The class of ”37” also boasts quite a few students who have been leaders in other important school activities, including sports. Practically all of the varsity teams are composed of Seniors. One of the former members designed the official Tolleston School seal. The Editor- in-Chief, Assistant Editor, Art Editor, and a majority of the Pioneer Staff are Seniors. The candy sales which aid in financing the publication of the Pioneer have been success- fully managed by Senior girls. The graduating class is very proud of all that it has accomplished and contributed to Tolleston School in the last four years and sincerely hopes that it has set a worthy pre- cedent for future Senior classes.

Since then, the girls sport years have been overflowing with a number of zealously contested battles, not only here at school out with ar.y challenges they have had from other schools. At the meeting introducing the Association, elect- ions were held, and the following girls wore selected as officers: Irene Boerg, president; Dotty !!agura,vice president; Josephine 1'alizzo, secretary; and Uargaret Step it a, treasurer. However, upon the with- drawal of the vice president and secretary, only two officers of the four remain; no eloctions have boon held to fill the vacancies. It-was decided by the Association that each year a Senior will fill tho pres- idential chair. Among the many activities of tho club have been tournaments in tennis, basketball, captainball, volley ball, handball, baseball, and track. A system of points has been instituted by the G. A. A. Any girl making a team receives points which, if when totaled at tho end of her senior year reaches 1000, entitles her to . urchasc a pin. If sho at- tains a sum of 1500 points or more, she has earned a sweater. The Sen- iors earning such awards have been Alfrieda Katzendorfor, Irene Boerg, Irene Romanov, I.ollic Odorizzi, Phyllis Eiolak, Biloon Romino, and Bcr- nico Brugos. Aside from sports, the association lias had quits a fow social af- fairs. The two major events were the yearly banquet hold in June of 3S and the St. Valentino s Dance. At the banquet a modal was awarded Rose Thrall for being the outstanding athlete, and the girls received their sweaters at the donee.

(f-on’h, 01 83 CLASS PROPHECY The crash of thunder heralded the coining of the long awaited storm and the sudden fury of a new born wind vanquished Mr, Standley s last hope of reaching his hotel. A stranger in this Spanish town, he did not know where to seek shelter. But from the distance he heard the faint melody of the Spanish Bolero. The next streak of lightning revealed to him a large tent in the near distance. As he came nearer, the tango rhythm became louder. Then he saw a figure approaching him, asking him to join her friends in the rendezvous. Mr. Standley, cold and shivering from the rain, gladly consented and she directed him to a fire. The senorita then explained to Mr. Standley that she would take him to the High Spots of the world for only $lb00. This being his secret ambi- tion, he nodded his head in reply. She then took him to another section of tho largo tent where he could scarcely hear the laughter and music of tho Spaniards. After being comfortably seated, the lady proceeded to make several odd gestures and Mr. Standley started on his trip. As he was passing the White House, he saw Albert Lacey,our new Res- ident, in conference with his Cabinet, which consisted of Secretary of Treasury, Joe Antos; Secretary of Commerce, Thad Kalinowskij Secretary of Labor, Vera Roski. Passing the Civic Opera House, he sees Marianne Zaloudek seated at the grand piano, her skilful fingers glide masterfully over the keys in accompaniment to Emily Hinges whose rich, melodious voice entrances the attentive audience. N Evening is approaching as he enters New York. He secs a rambunc- tious crowd of people standing before a night club called Tolleston High Hatters. Ilerc, serving as a loquacious master of ceremonies, he finds Albert.Dawson. In this, ono of the night spots of JJew York,the colossal hit show of tho season is being presented by those Three I!usketccrs,none other than Irene Boerg, tho blues singerj Emilie Padol, dancer; and Eleanor Romc.norrski, pianist. Suddenly something startled Sir Standley as he spied a sign saying, Slota Sisters Snappy Shoo Salon, Snazzy Shoe Styles for Society Saps, Sale Starting Sunday. Over on Fifth Avenue he spies Ed GuzikTs Grand Hotel and John Kom- aneckils Beauty Shoppe. On Coney Island he sees the usual patronizors of the place, Margar- et Tokash, Blythe Strickland, Anna Boblo, and Trcd Troutman, munching a Spicy Onion hamburger for only 10 . While enjoying tho Barnum and Bailey Circus, ho secs John Brown as the tlan on the Flying Trapeze ,and Josephine Bartinis appears high abovo his head, riding a bicycle on the tight rope. Maroo Fricss keeps tho crowd in fine spirits with her unusual acrobatics. Outside, Lucille Czameki, the girl who dines regularly on fire,is soon quietly partaking of a glass of cold water while Martha Mackey, the bearded lady, looks on. Leaving the bright lights of New York behind him,he travels slowly westward. Having viewed the beauteous scenery of the intervening atnto� 84 he arrives in our fair state of Indiana. In Michigan City he sees an old student, Dead Eye Bart os” — as the warden of the State Prison. In Logensport he comes upon Margaret Stopita and Grace Rapnond in the Insane Asylum — as ambitious matrons. His sight-seeing trip carries hir . into the hoart of Gary. As he idly scans the Gary Post Tribune , he reads the following news items: '!Ft?t- er Crotton, handsome detective, captures notorious outlaw.” Phyllis Biclak is mado Matron of School for Girls. Bette Provence, •yell leader for Morthwc stern, collapses after a game of strenuous cheering. Frank Gavelck i3 elected State Treasurer.

Helen Wait© marries a well known druggist. Donna Sines escapes train accident with minor injuries. Paul Quillin becomes new manager of Boar Brand. In the Vfant Ad Section,Mr. Standley notices that Teddy Moncilovich s Kard- ware Store is having a fire sale. Now he catches a Bit of the city life. Ho meets Eddie Fabrici, sup- erintending the construction of a 93 story building on 11th and Rutledge. He sent fruit and encouragement to Mike Tall, prominent actor of the Civic Theater, who is recovering from a lingering illness. In the office of John Klym, the attorney, he observes Kory Belle filing a claim for a million dollar inheritance; Wendell Bean is receiving a patont for a cornet which will play without blowing. All these cases seem to keep the office girl, Dorothy Kaussman, quite busy. Superintendent of Schools, John McClure, is having a conforonco with Ken Rominc, the new principal of Tolleston. Thoy arc discussing two new teachers, Helen Mueller and Stella Zaremba. Mike Babinchak looks impressive as the head of a chain of grocery storos. Marie Johnson keeps busy as the head librarian of the Gary Library. Florence and Marjorie Morse look prosperous. They operato the Two Sisters Beauty Salon. Wanda Kolodziej, a loquacious saleslady, tries to sell ladies hats. Bert Kesarch, with his orchestra, is appearing at the K of C ballroom. Alice Dembicki is scheduled to ap- pear at the Memorial Auditorium next Sunday afternoon with her concert band. Many of the members of this group were members of the Tolleston School Band. On 7th Avenue he sees Peg Benson, owner of the Lennox Hat Shop, conversing with Helen Macey, proprietor of Pearson’s Apparel. He encounters Mary Rose on her way to work and congratulates her for the new typewriting record she set. He lunches with Richard Fulwider, who is under contract to build the bridge across I.ake Michigan 1‘rom Chicago to South Bend.

Now h© passes a theater in Gary, the Palace, where Alfrieda Katzen- dorfer, is doing her sensational tap dance. lor additional entertain- ment they see r.ollie Odorizzi and Irene Romanov doing their uncensored South American tango; they are dancing gracefully to the hot rhythm of Tony Steponaitis orchestra. Still moving westward he enters the great city of ' hicago. The bright lights of the Trianon, the world s greatest ballroom, attract him. Featured this week is Pete Rogers famous waltz orchestra. He is presenting George Perzo, vocalist; and George Reside and Thelma Strange, new dance tear.: discovered bv Veloz and Yolanda. On into tho '.Vest he goes, passing meadows, rivers,and lakes. A new sight comes to view—a rang:). Here he recognizes Herbert Pahl riding on a horso like a flash of lightning—almost losing his life to save a dashing bionic actress, Harriett© Sobotko, from being kidnapped by a young villain, Frank Lozier. They are the leading characters in the Paramount picture, HVYe Hail from Tolleston , Hollywood s outstanding production directed by none other than Steve Puczolt. Upon reaching San Francisco he sails for the Orient. On the boat he encounters Eileen Romine as the ship s nurse trying to soothe several cases of sea-sickness. Enrov.te he stops at the Hawaiian Islands. He is entranced by the soft droomy music of Hawaiian guitars under the able direction of Eddie Roskowski. Dancing entertainment is being provided by Marion Ballogg. On the other side of the garden he sees the athlete, Andy Guba, teaching tho Hulas” athletics. In another romantic spot be- neath the palm trees, he sees John Lewontuk, a handsome bachelor (in his early twenties), proposing to a beautiful Hawaiian maiden. In South America he finds Ruth Papka busy converting pagans, among whom we find Henry Hallman. Claude Truax and L'eriie Shumylo are her able assistants. Upon reaching Europe, he enters Italy, where he is very hospitably treated by John Vespo, owner of a chain of cafes. In Holland he sees Hester Holland writing a letter to her boyfriend in Milwaukee. It was dawn when Lr. Standiey awoke from his trance. For a moment he was dazed—then he remembered the storm and the Spaniards. Just then the Senorita entered inquiring how he enjoyed his trip and asking far her money. As he was reaching for the required sum, he asked if that was a true prediction for the First Graduation Class of Tolleston; she answer- ed boldly that she would give him the information as soon as he .gave her the money.But to his dismay he discovered he had in his change purse only $.1000.00. The lady told him he would never know the truth about the class of 37 because lie was $500 short. After his breakfast the kind Spaniard directed him to his hotel from which, a day later, he returned to America and to Tolleston High School. 87 LIVING VOCABUIARY In a small Strange Provence in Holland, near Ireland, by the Zorak mountains, the church Belle vras ringing 12 o clock noon, and ail the boys from the Crane shop Wendt towards the dinner Plant Er.-nis Litti e restaurant, one boy called, Di-mi-tri cups of Shuse-er Sanborn coffee, and a Stack of Ure Kirsh-ey bars, ’ After eating their meals, they dipped their hands into the finger Bowles, and started to Go-forth as they pickoa up some Butz.
