It is only natural and fitting that we thus signify our deep appreciation of their perpetual interest. CLASS OF 1935 President IN DEEP APPRECIATION OF THE HE CURTAIN ROSE on the year 1934-35 to reveal a rearranged setting for the sixty- fifth episode of that stirring drama, “Life at West High.” For years the cast had been in¬ creasing until the stage property had become too small to accomodate the actors and their antics. Thus it happened that each player enter¬ ed an unfamiliar play house to find a bigger, brighter spotlight for his little act. Educational troupes throughout the United States observed the three-hundredth birthday of that first dra¬ matic high school experiment — the Boston Latin Grammar School. Many local productions have been launched since that first high school curtain was pulled, and a number have suc¬ cessfully reached a dramatic climax. West High feels proud of an accomplishment listed high on the program of outstanding achievements— twenty-five consecutive books crammed with scenes from the old, red, brick building—each a history book, each a memory book, an Eos.

Their untiring efforts, encour agement, and directions have made success inevitable. To Mrs. Gertrude Scott Smith, who has capably handled the finances and participated in every event sponsored by the class, we extend our thanks. We also ex¬ tend our appreciation to Miss Ray¬ mond, remembering her work on the magazine campaign. To Miss Rat- cliffe, another member of our advis¬ ory group, the class wishes to extend thanks. Her work at the athletic concessions was greatly appreciated. The services of M,iss Peterson, who had charge of selling confectioneries in the halls, and Miss Goodwin, who had charge of the costumes of the Senior class play, made them well- remembered advisers. In apprecia¬ tion of his interest in our class and in developing men of character, we thank Mr. Fletcher. These advisers, Mrs. Gertrude Scott Smith, Miss Goodwin, Miss Raymond, Miss Rat- cliffe, Miss Peterson, and Mr. Fletch¬ er, will long be remembered for their helpful advice on all undertakings of the Class of ’35. ★ GERTRUDE SCOTT SMITH L Y D I A R A Y M o N D C A T HER I N E RAT C L I F F E J E A N I T A PET E R S O N L U C I A G O O D w I N R A L P H E.

HISTORY of the Class By Carrie Mickelberg ★ In the fall of 1931 two hundred and twenty-two freshmen Hung wide the ancient portals of that great institution of higher learning, West Aurora High School. All the leading curricular events and activities found representatives from the freshmen. Presently the need for organization became apparent, and a subsequent election followed. With Tod Ochsen- schlager, President; Virgil Gilman, Vice-President; Jack Holslag, Sec¬ retary, and Robert Jones, Treasurer, the freshmen were established as an independent unit. March 18 found the freshmen entering into the social whirl with the traditional costume ball in the gymnasium. Thus was culminated the initial year at High School. Chandler Rowley was elect¬ ed to guide the class during its soph¬ omore year. Assisting him were Joe Reising, Vice-President; Venita Robbie, Secretary, and Myrtle Lind¬ ahl, Treasurer. Tod Ochsenschlager, Chandler Rowley, and John Marsh were rewarded in heavyweight foot¬ ball by receiving letters. Not to be outdone by their bulkier classmates, Chester Davis, Virgil Gilman, John ★ of 1935 Nelson, Bernard Murtaugh, and Wil¬ bur Van Deventer received light¬ weight letters. As their contribution to the social activities of the year, the sophomores held a Valentine party on February twenty-seventh. As Juniors, the Class of ’35 under the excellent leadership of John Marsh, with Jack Holslag, John Nelson, and Bob Fraser as assistants, made a noteworthy and successful attempt to gain prestige. The Booster Club, Girl Resrves, the Band, Glee Clubs, El Circulo Espanol, and the G. A. A. had junors at their helms. As a part¬ ing tribute to the erstwhile Class of ’34 we sent them on their way with the glamorous Junior Prom. The exe¬ cutive powers of the Senior Class were placed in the hands of Elbridge Flanders, Thomas Held, Sue Egan, and Alberta Seavey. The school was entertained by the Senior Class at a Hallowe’en party. As a climax to their dramatic career, the seniors presented their class play, “Peg O’ My Heart”. The Junior Prom, followed by Commencement, brought to a close our four years of success and happiness at West High. ★ 26 ★ NATIONAL HONOR ★ SOCIETY for 1934-1935 NORMAN BRUBAKER JACK HOLSLAG BETTY JANE COCHRAN MYRTLE LINDAHL GRACE LEAH DANIELS JOHN NELSON SUE EGAN BETTY ODMARK VIRGINIA ERICKSON JOE REISING MILDRED FETZER MARIAN ROSENTHAL ELBRIDGE F LANDERS ALBERTA SEAVEY MARGARET FLYNN EDNA SKOM LORRAINE GOLDMAN CATHERINE STATHIS ISABELLE GREITER HESTER THOMASSON The members of this Association are selected from the members of the Senior Class.

These officers, assisted by the faculty advisers, the Misses Wood and Esser, and the Messrs. Meyer, Grant, and Eaflin directed the class through a very successful year. The class won special distinction by hold¬ ing high offices; Bill Flentye was Secretary of the Booster Club; Edythe Gee, Vice-President; Thelma Cleminson, Secretary; and Frances Pauli, Treasurer of the Girl Re¬ serves; Philomena Monaco, Presi¬ dent; Barbara Flealy, Vice-Presi¬ dent ; and Sally Greene, Secretary- Treasurer of the Girls’ Club; Henry Moorman, President; and Philip Smith, Vice-President of the Science Club. Sol Weisman was a very active member of Debate. On the athletic field and in the “gym” the Juniors have performed creditably. In the home room tournament, Mr. Laflin’s home room won first place. Bill Flen¬ tye, Louie McWethy, Halsey Stein, John Chrisse, Anthony Paul, and Bill Sanders won many honors for the Heavyweights in Basketball; John Titchinger, Anthony Yunkus, and Donald Wredling did their part for the Lights. In football, also, the Juniors were well known. The Girl’s Basketball tournament was won by Elroya Cigrand’s team and in Soccer, with Philomena Monaco as captain, the Juniors were very successful. December 21, the Juniors entertained the entire school at a Christmas dance in the “gym” preceded by the singing of carols in the new audi¬ torium, used for the first time that day for an assembly gathering-. As an approriate finish to a year of hard work, the Junior entertained the Senior at a “Prom”, the outstanding social event of the year. Although during the year there were many happy occasions, a great sorrow came to us with death of our class¬ mate, Helen Williams, January 15, 1935. ' ' Top Row—(left to right across both pages)—L.

STAGE HANDS ★ ★ The Freshmen of the 1934-1935 came with great eagerness into our new high school early in October. The first duty of the new class was to elect officers to pilot our ship through the year. A committee consisting of several mem¬ bers from each home room of the Fresh¬ man Class nominated several worthy candidates for election. These nomina¬ tions were merely suggestions for the class to follow. Later an election was held and the following were elected: Frances Keenan, President; Edward Long, Vice-President; Sue Simons, Secretary, and Raymond Anderson, Treasurer. A council of members from each home room was chosen to help our newly elected officers guide the class. The class by the help of the council and the advisers, Mr. Palmer, Miss Plain, Miss Brown, Miss Rowe, Miss Bren¬ nan, and Miss Vogt, was guided most successfully. The committes were: the Activities Committee, Chairman, Jack Bell; the Freshman Party Committee, Chairman, Edward Long; the Financial Committee, Chairman, Ray Anderson, and the Publicity Committee, Chair¬ man, Sue Simons. Dues were voted to be twenty-five cents per semester, and a punch card system of collecting was arranged by the financial committee to avoid confusion. The dues were to be used for various purposes during the year and later on for our 1938 Eos. The class party was held on March 14th. A program was arranged to go with the gayety of the costumes. The Freshman class had two members on the first team debate —William Mur¬ phy and Zelda Ann Swimmer. On the lightweight basketball squad was Joe Nelson at guard. Various members of the class took part in the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs, the Hi-Y, and G.A.A. C Top Row — (left to right across both pages) — M. Ainsworth, H. Anderson, R. Anderson, A. Armstrong, M.

On the first play of the game Davis went off tackle for forty yards, giving West a great opportunity to score. The next week West traveled to Glenbard and lost by a score of 7-0. Although West played good football, Glenbard was able to push over a touchdown in the last three minutes. West then traveled to Joliet for the first conference game, which also was West’s first night game experience this year. Joliet pushed over two touchdowns in the first five minutes, but from that time on the game was all West’s; however, Joliet won 12-7. Playing at home against a stubborn DeKalb team, West won 19- 12. Traveling to Rockford for their second conference game, the heavies were defeated by the Rockford heavies, who later tied with Joliet for the Big Six championship. The score of this ★ 40 ★ game was 19-0. Although the team played in mud, West triumphed over Elgin 6-0. This score resulted from a sixty yard drive to a touch¬ down. Freeport came to West High for one of the most spectacular games of the season. Each team scored 13 points. West scored the first touchdown; then Freeport scored. Eater West scored again only to be tied up the remaining seconds of the game. The next weekWest met La Grange on the La Grange field in another thrilling game. Again the score wasl3-13. La Grange in the remaining seconds of the fourth quarter failed to score from the six yard line. Later in the year the game was forfeited to West when it was found that one of La Grange’s players was ineligible because of the age limit. On the opening kick-off of the Thanksgiving day game, Davis ran for fifty yards being caught from behind. Several other times West threatened to score. East made the only score of the game on a long pass to win by the score of 7-0.

The game was featured with frequent fumbles and loss of the ball. As a result of the inexperience of their first game, the West lights journeyed to Glenbard and downed the tough Glenbard lights by a 6-0 score. The first conference game was played at Joliet on the following Friday night; after losing some good opportunities to score in the early part of the game, the West lights weakened and allowed the Joliet lights to score a touchdown in the fourth quarter. This was Joliet’s margin of victory. The following week, playing DeKalb at home, our team won 14-6. The game was featured by a run of sixty yards by Wilson on the first play of the second half for a touchdown. The lights then had an open date, which gave them two weeks to prepare for their game with the undefeated Rockford lights. After being inside the Rockford 10 yard line twice, they were finally forced to submit to a 7-0 defeat, but only after a terrific struggle. This was the best game the West lights had played so far. Next Elgin was beaten in the mud 6-0, and on the following Saturday our lightweights scored twelve points in the last three minutes of the Freeport game to win 12-6. Mur- taugh caught a pass from Wredling for the first touchdown, and Eby blocked a punt to put the ball on the two yard line, from which Hepburn carried it over for the second. The next game was lost to La Grange by an 8-0 score. The annual East-West Lightweight game was played on a soggy field and ended in a deadlock 0-0. The West lightweights were forced to stave off a last quarter rally, which ended with the ball on West’s 5 yard line. This gave West a record of 500 per cent and third place in the conference standing.

Then they traveled to Downers Grove and were defeated. West High then began hitting its stride by winning from Rockford in its first conference game, and then East Aurora, Naperville, and Joliet. Meeting Elgin’s extraordinarily strong team when West’s team was handicapped by playing in a small gym, West High was defeated in its first conference loss. This did not stop West High’s winning. The boys came back and defeated Geneva and Freeport; the last game ended the first round of the Big Six Conference with West High holding down second place. The second round started with West High’s defeating Rockford, East Aurora, and Joliet in an overtime, on the opposing team’s courts. West High then played Marm- ★ 44 ion of Aurora for the first time in the history of the school and won by a score of 38-31. The big game against Elgin, to which all the fans had been looking forward for weeks, was play¬ ed before the largest crowd which had ever assembled in the West High gym. These two teams at the time were considered two of the best teams in the state and were tied for first place in the conference. This particular game was supposed to decide the winner of the Big Six. The score was close only once dur¬ ing the entire game, and it seemed no task for West High to win 30 to 21. This victory placed West High at the top of the conference with one more conference game left to be played at Freeport. Freeport defeat¬ ed West High by a score 28 to 20. This sudden loss to Freeport tied Elgin with West High for first place honors in the Big Six Conference with eight wins and two defeats. West High also participated in three tournaments: the DeKalb Holiday Invitational Tournament, District Tournament, Sectional Tournament. Playing superb ball and traveling through the cold weather and snow, West High won the DeKalb tourna¬ ment by defeating Oregon, East Aurora, Batavia, Milford, and East Moline. West High won the District tournament held in its own gym by defeating Plano, St. Charles, and Geneva. This qualified the team for the Sectional tournament at Joliet, in which they defeated Blue Island, (Continued on Page 108) . LETTERMEN C. Davis; W. Flentye; D. McWethy; T. Och senschager; J.

After practicing for two weeks a very inexperienced lightweight team took the floor and defeated Yorkville on the West High court. Then followed three straight losses to Downers Grove, Rockford, and East Aurora, respective¬ ly; the last two were conference games with West High losing by a small margin. Murtaugh, the only returning regular from the year before, furnished most of the excitement for the West High fans in the early games. Then trying its luck on the home court, West High defeated Naperville and lost in a hard fought game to Joliet. After jour¬ neying to Elgin, West was defeated by the strong watch city squad, but the team redeemed itself by a home win over Geneva. A loss to Freeport finished the first round of the Big Six. West ★ 46 ★ High showed much improvement in handling the ball. Yunkis and Murtaugh, hitting the nets for the points, started the second half of the conference by losing to Rockford on the opposing team’s floor, then com¬ ing back and defeating East Aurora for the first conference win of the year. Not so successful as in the game before, West was defeated by Joliet at Joliet. With the season more than three fourths over Coach Berg¬ man’s team composed of Joe Nelson and Walt Anderson guards, Yunkis center, Bernard Murtaugh, and Rich¬ ard Martinson, forwards began to click as a well polished machine and won three straight games, defeating Marmion and Elgin on the home floor and Freeport there. This finish¬ ed West High’s lightweight basket¬ ball season with seven victories and eight losses. ★ SUMMARY West High . .39 Yorkville . ...11 West High . .12 Down’rs Gr’ve . ...22 West High . ......19 Rockford . ...21 West High . ......24 East High _ ...29 West High . .28 Naperville . ...24 West High .... .13 Joliet .. ...20 West High .... .23 Elgin . ...40 West High .... .28 Geneva... ...19 West High .... .39 Freeport ... ...41 West High .... .22 Rockford .. ...36 West High .... .36 East High_ ...33 West High .... ......49 Joliet . ....43 West High .... ......36 Marmion .. ....25 West High .... .30 Elgin ... ....26 West High .... .26 Freeport . ....27 LETTERMEN W.

LEE CLUB ★ The Girls’ Glee Club started the year with the largest enrollment in the Club’s history. Eighty-five girls tried out and qualified for membership. Their first appearance was November 19, 1934, when they sang for a Music Booster Rally held in the gymnasium. The girls next appeared January 31, 1935, in our new auditorium, to sing for the Girls’ Club Mixer. With the begin¬ ning of the new semester, the Girls’ Glee Club was divided into a first and second club. Thirty girls were selected for the First Girls’ Glee, and about forty-five remained in the second group. The following officers were elected for the First Girls’ Glee Club : President, Alta Anderson; Secretary, Mary Han¬ chette ; Librarian, Adrienne Roscoe. March 22, 1935, the First Girls’ Glee Club sang for the Woman’s Club. Tues¬ day night, April 16, the same group sang for the Burlington Booster Club of the Burlington Railway. The girls were well represented at the Fox Valley Music Festival on May 10. A mixed Chorus was organized, which gave a program of Christmas music before the student body. T . BOY S’ GLEE CLUB ★ The Boys’ Glee Club started the ★ ★ year with an increased enrollment under the direction of Wayne S. Hertz. Twenty-six boys tried out and were admitted to the club. They made their first appearance when they combined with the Girls’ Glee Club to sing a pro¬ gram of Christmas music for the High School Assembly.

FRANCAISE ★ Les belles, petites mademoiselles et les tres chic monsieurs entering second year French are automatically enrolled in Le Cercle Francais, the French club. The purpose of the Cercle Francais is to give the student a closer contact in French conversation. The club meets in its regular class period on the last Friday of each month. Ruth Peacock and Bill McWethy are chairmen of their respective classes. At the meetings the time is occupied by French songs, stories, and games. In response to the roll call each member answers by a French phrase. Failure to respond re¬ quires a forfeit. The Christmas meeting consisted of the reading of Anatole France’s famous “Le Jongleur De Notre-Dame” by Mademoiselle Ray¬ mond. Prizes awarded for games were in the form of lollypops representing the golden cock, the symbol of France, Pere Noel, and Christmas trees. ★ 64 EL CIRCULO ESPANOL ★ El Circulo Espanol met the last Fri¬ day of every month during the class period with the adviser, Senorita Bren¬ nan. Various members planned the programs, usually consisting of plays, stories, games, and interesting reports on Spanish speaking countries. At one of the meetings Miss Yvonne Getchell gave an interesting talk on habits, dress, and manners of Mexicans. Offi¬ cers of the seventh period class were Robert Mellquist, President; Ida Ur¬ ban, Vice-President; Walter Anderson, Secretary; and Chester Davis, Treasur¬ er. Thomas Van Hyning, who lived in Venezuela for several years, was Presi¬ dent of the fourth period class. Hazel Offutt, Vice-President; Alberta Seav- ey, Secretary; and Thomas Bailey, Treasurer were the other officers. The club, organized for all second year stu¬ dents, afforded an entertaining way of learning conversational Spanish. ★ ★ - ★ MISS BRENNAN ★ - ★ First Row—D. Moore; A. Mundy; C. Hooker; L. Sunleaf; E.

E S E R V E S ★ The Girl Reserves, a club affiliated with the Y.W.C.A., anchored their ship in the harbor after another successful year under the capable leadership of Myrtle Rindahl as President and the able assistance of Edythe Gee, Vice- President; Thelma Cleminson, Secre¬ tary; Frances Paul, Treasurer; and Miss Helen Hanson, Girl Reserve Ad¬ viser. The club this year was represent¬ ed by a large membership. The pur¬ pose of the club is to be of assistance to the destitute. This measure was fulfilled at Christmas when the mem¬ bers of the club filled a basket for the poor. The West High Girl Reserves, together with other Girl Reserve or¬ ganizations from other parts of the city and vicinity including elementary and secondary schools, staged their annual circus, March 15, in the auditorium of the Young Woman’s Christian Associ¬ ation. West High was well represented. 66 ★ 1-1 I - Y HAS BIG YEAR ★ This year’s Hi Y organization has been vastly improved with the inaug¬ uration of four class chapters, each of which carries on its own meetings bi¬ weekly plus a large mass gathering every month. Guiding the destinies of the club were the following officers: Joe Reising, President; Bill McWethy, Vice-President; Norman Challis, Secre¬ tary-Treasurer. One of the outstanding events of the Hi Y year was the Older Boys’ Conferernce, held at Freeport in December. West High had a delegation of five boys. Speakers at the meetings included many Aurora business men. The Hi Y club stands for clean speech, clean living, clean athletics, clean scholarship, and a promotion of high standards of Christian character. The officers were assisted in all enterprises by Mr. E. B. Davis of the Aurora Y.M.C.A. and Mr. Ross Bergman, faculty adviser. ★ - ★ MR. BERGMAN ★ -★ First Row—J. Toney; C. Weis; D. Kindsvater; N.

The officers elected to guide this club through the first year of its existence were Grace Leah Daniels, President; Margaret Flynn, Vice-Presi¬ dent; and Myrtle Lindahl, Secretary- Treasurer. The faculty adviser was Miss Pauline Renne. Mrs. Smith, Dean of Girls, and Miss Vogt, Athletic Director, assisted. Each girl upon her entrance to high school automatically becomes a member of this club. The governing body, the Board, is elected by represent¬ atives from each home room, known as the Council. In addition to upholding the high standards of the school, the club strives to have its members parti¬ cipate in social functions. The Girls’ Club sponsored a Mother-Daughter tea. ★ 68 ★ BOY S’ CLUB DOINGS ★ The purpose of the Boys ' Club is to give the boys of our institution an op¬ portunity to take an active part in school government. The organization encourages scholarship, citizenship, and intra-mural and inter-scholastic activ¬ ity. During the past year the club sponsored among other activities a Dads’ and Lads’ Xight. a White Ele¬ phant Sale, and a Spring Dance. It was decided by both the Girls ' and Boys ' Clubs to make it traditional to have a carnival in the fall and a dance in the spring. After a considerable period of organization, it is believed that the Boys’ Club is well under way and will henceforth continue to function for the good of the school. The following officers guided the activities of the or¬ ganization this year: John Xelson. Pre¬ sident; Herman Burgert. Vice-Presi¬ dent. and Toe Reising. Secretary-Trea¬ surer. Mr. Grant was facultv adviser. ★-★ MR.

' k Because of the expense involved, West High has not entered the District, Sectional, and State Contests in com¬ mercial subjects for the past three years. Instead, local contests have been held in shorthand, typewriting, and bookkeeping. The winners are chosen on a basis of work done throughout the year in the various classes The winners of this year’s contests were as follows: Advanced Shorthand, Hortense Eric- son, Mary McLaughlin; Advanced Typewriting, Kathleen Fritz, Evelyn Evans, Marian Gregory; Beginning Shorthand, Shirley Villwock, Illet Ser- by, Gertrude Skom, Edith Watkins; Beginning Typewriting, Speed and Accuracy, Audrey Hall, Barbara Mai¬ mer ; Accuracy, Catherine Pearson, D o ro t h y Schlindwein ; Beginning Bookkeeping, Orland Traversino, Lor¬ raine Barz; Advanced Bookkeeping, Joe Hallisey, Maxine Rice. ★ 70 ★ DEBATE CLUB ★ The Debate Club of West High started this year with thirty-five candi¬ dates, few of whom had had actual ex¬ perience in debating. Freshmen and sophomores composed the majority of this group. Despite lack of training all entered into the work with compensat¬ ing enthusiasm. The affirmative team chosen to debate the question: Re¬ solved : That the Federal Government Should Enact Legislation to Provide Annual Federal Grants to the Several States for Elementary and Secondary Education, consisted of Bill Murphey, Freshman; Myrtle Lindahl, Senior; Lorraine Goldman, Senior, and Bob Millard, Senior. Elbridge Flanders, Senior; Sol Weisman, Junior; Zelda Swimmer, Freshman; Marian Rosen¬ thal, and Walter Hastings, Seniors, made up the negative team. In the Big Six Tournament held at Joliet on March 23, West debaters won one debate. ★ ★ - ★ MR. NEBERGAL ★-★ First Row—P. Sampson; A. Roscoe; J. Gong; M. Gindahl; G. Goldman; G. Boswell; M.

Beginning its fifth year of active office, the club elected the follow¬ ing people to lead the group in carrying out its fundamental duties : Joe Reising, President; Tod Ochsenschlager, Vice- president; Bill Flentye, Secretary; John Wright, Treasurer. In order to create interest and enthusiasm in athletic ac¬ tivities, which is the main function of the club, the officers preside at the rallies before games. Unless especially requested by Coach Fletcher, they do not have the assemblies preceeding out- of-town games. Under the capable direction of Mr. Meyer, who sets a fine example for the club by his great in¬ terest and enthusiasm, the W.A.H.S. Boosters have been able to carry out the well planned purposes, since the organization was effected. ★ 72 ★ SCIENCE CLUB ★ Under the capable leadership of Henry Moorman, President; Phil Smith, Vice-President; George Ruby, Secretary, Margaret Flynn, Treasurer; and the co-advisers, Mr. Ray Grant and Mr. Ross Bergman, the newly organiz¬ ed Science Club was introduced into West High, out of the seeming interest of the student body, at the beginning of the second semester. The aim of the club is to give the science-minded stu¬ dents an opportunity to keep up to date on current science, and to offer a better chance to understand the field of science in a more informal way and to a greater extent than regular classes permit. Due to a late start, the club confined itself mostly to organization and an attempt to instigate a visual educational pro¬ gram for the following years to come. Included among the interesting pro¬ grams of the year was a Diesel Oil Engine Film. 5 ► MR.

(Picture on following page.) ★ Before a packed house, May 16 and 17, the West High Senior Class pre¬ sented “Peg O’ Heart,” an English comedy, directed by Miss Esther I’hares. The story centered about Peg O’Connell, an Irish girl, whose rich uncle had left a sum of money for her bringing up in cultured surroundings. Her aunt, Mrs. Chichester, consented to do this principally because a sum of money was to be paid to the family for rearing Peg. Irregardless of the num¬ erous hardships presented by her mer¬ cenary aunt, Peg’s personality domin¬ ates all obstacles.

The company was directed by James Henrickson and his wife, Clare Bruce. They pre¬ sented “Julius Caesar” and Hamlet” on Friday. On Saturday “The Mer¬ chant of Venice” and “Macbeth” were given. Mr. Hendrickson and his colleagues came here highly recom¬ mended by the dramatic critics of New York. With Mr. Hendrickson playing the leading redes, they lived up to all expectations. In an inter¬ view Mr. Hendrickson expressed his approval of the undivided attention given him by Aurora audiences. He also declared Aurora was one of the finest cities he had visited on his mid- western road trip. Among the stu¬ dents selected to participate in minor roles were the following: In “Julius Caesar”: Jean Henry, Mary Lou Cooper, Iboris Mae Fowler, Ruth Esser, Sally Green, Gertrude Skom, Shirley Hubbard, Irene Stone, Fran¬ ces Madison, Jack Fohn, Russell Hanchette, Charles Weinaug, Sol Weisman, Springfield Baldwin, and Bob Lavoy; in “Hamlet”: Ivor Mor¬ ris, Betty Jane Cochran, Blair O’ Conner, Don Keenan, and Grace Leah Daniels; in “The Merchant of Venice”: Carol Stapleton, Sue Egan, Bill Pritchard, and Walter Hastings; in “Macbeth”: Beth Royston, Mary McLaughlin, Hortense Erickson, Blair O ' Conner, Jack Holslag, Carl Sahlroot, J. Marsh, and Don Keenan. HE SENIOR CLASS, as spokesmen for the school, wish Principal A. A. Rea good luck and great success in future enterprises. Under his able guid¬ ance West High has maintained an unquestioned scholastic standing, added many extra curricular activities, and trebled its enrollment. These facts alone serve as concrete evidence of his progressive leadership dur¬ ing the last eighteen years. Mr. Rea has left his mark of service at old West High. RUNE LEVINE ’36 All School Winner ★ EILEEN SMITH ’36 All School Winner ★ THEODORE YOUNGMAN Senior Winner ★ MARY HANCHETTE Freshman Winner JACK GUEST Junior Winner ★ IDA URBAN Sophomore Winner ★ Y V V ★ PLAYWRIGHTS Peace Prayer for Rune Levine ' 35 The bearers of the burden can never forget The sufferings and pains of the last war. From the Gold Star mother to the injured “vet”, The sorrows and memories shall leave, nevermore. The bereaved mother continues to mourn, And sadly recalls the son that was torn From her, and killed in the morn of his years. And the veteran, dreaming, yet the ride hears. The heart ne’er stops to blench at the life in the trench And the horror and terror and grimness of war. The filth and the fears and the deaths still clench A man’s mind— to stop nevermore. The cannon’s blast and the shell’s shrill shriek, The screams of the dying and cries of the weak, The machine-gun’s rattle, and the crazed man’s rant Are sounds one tries to forget — but can’t. There is one group yet that we cannot forget: Those who suffered and waited behind, Those who had to stave off the grim, leering threat Of death to dear ones of their kind, Those who waited in trembling for news of the war — And for the letters that never came, Those who sadly the loss of their loved ones bore Never will or never can be the same. Shall the horrors of war and the sadness these bore Torture those of the future, also? Fervently hope we that nevermore Any one else shall these sufferings know. Dear God and Lover of Mankind, we pray That Thou, in Thy pity and love of our life, Will keep us and guide us apart from the way That leads to battle and struggle and strife. ★ 76 The Wind ' s Wonderful Tale ★ Eileen Smith ’36 “And I say unto you It is true. It is true, For the smoke has told me Just as I now tell thee.” ★ The tall pines murmur, the shim¬ mering birches whisper, and the soft grasses bend low as the sharp March wind whistles through them shout¬ ing its bold yet mournful message. That is the way the sad tale is told. The wind was enlightened by the wisp of blue smoke that curls up¬ ward, upward from the brick chim¬ ney of the little log cabin built in a small clearing at the edge of the Northern Pines. Within the cabin a ruddy fire glows and flickers in the fireplace. The dancing light illumin¬ ates the form of a frail little lady who rocks to and fro in an old-fashioned rocker. On her lap lies a slip of yellow paper which she clutches and releases intermittently as she gazes with tear-dimmed eyes into the pul¬ sating scenes of yester-year. Now in memory’s fancy she visual¬ izes Bobbie, a chubby lad of three, playing with his blocks on a big bear rug before a mammoth fireplace. The sunlight streams through a nearby window, and sparkling sunbeams dance in his yellow curls, and a sunny smile breaks forth on his sweet childish face. The years speed by on winged feet — school, college, and business. Now he is a firm, serious-minded adult with just the right sense of humor and wit to be eagerly accepted by everyone, in social circles and in business, alike. His alert mind, clever, original, and precise, warrants his position as assistant editor of a nationally famous newspaper. His literary ability is recognized and praised not only by critics but also by his admiring public. Yes, only last week he had written home saying that in a few days he was to fly to a big city to be awarded a medal for his excellent achievements in the field of newspaper writing. The little white head droops mo¬ mentarily on the frail little shoulders then lifts with an effort, and the little lady rises from the chair, brushing her apron swiftly across her cheeks. As she does so, the slip of yellow paper flutters to the hearth where it settles, part of it concealed in the weird, changing shadows, and part of it exposed in the gleaming, mystic firelight. Plane “SI 149” crashed this a. m.— Robert Mackenzie among those-” The dear little lady stoops and catches the paper in fingers that tremble violently. Her beloved son had written “-30-”. The great book of life which he had been writing in honest and praiseworthy deeds since his early childhood days had to come to a close. The wind whistles its lamentable story through the tall pines that murmur, and the shimmering birches that whisper mournfully, and the grasses that bend low with grief, and the wisp of blue smoke that curls from the little brick chimney bears its sorrowful burden upwards, up¬ ward. ★ 77 ★ Remember ★ Theodor Youngman ' 35 When hints of war are spread about And nations then prepare By building ships and training men. Remember the boys “over there”. Remember the countless crosses, Remember the men who tried, Remember the end of that war, And all of the men who died. Stop to recall but a moment ' The terrible horrors of war. Then perhaps we won’t trace the footsteps Of those who died before. They ★ Jack Guest ’36 ★ I loved my three corpses, every¬ one of them. They were like children to me. You would have smiled to see how well I cared for them. The people of the village called me the old “Insane One.” They were stupid things to think this; they didn’t know of the great work I was per¬ forming, nor did they know about the three dead ones lying in my base¬ ment. I had to be extremely careful that they didn’t discover my inten¬ tions; therefore, I went about my work with great caution and slyness. Imagine, they called me insane! For the past three nights, just at twelve o’clock, I had visited my be¬ loved. They lay side by side on three long tables, each having a spotless white sheet for a covering. If you could have seen me go about my ★ work, if you could have seen how careful and patient I was, you would know I wasn’t crazy after all. The fourth night, at the last breath of the old day, I silently arose, se¬ cured my precious lantern, and start¬ ed for the basement. It took me an hour to reach the basement door, because I didn’t dare make a sound. You would have smiled to see how slowly I swung the door. I spent half an hour slipping my head through the opening, and with the utmost cauton I adjusted the lantern shut¬ ters until only a tiny ray of light leaped out. My heart beat wildly as I directed the beam upon the tables. Ah! They were all there! Cautiously I crept forward and climbed upon a high stool, which overlooked the tables. Sitting upon this, I directed ★ 78 three tiny rays, each to the propped eyes of a corpse. Thus in the inky blackness I waited, and watched their eyes for signs of life. For hours I waited until, until a faint gleam kindled in the eyes of Number Three! Just before dawn, the same occurred with the other two. Large drops of cold perspiration clung to my forehead. I realized my great work was succeeding, and I would soon rule the earth with my risen dead. Somehow a faint ray of dawn managed to slip into that inky, damp room. The gleam in my children’s eyes faded together, but I was not deeply disappointed, for I knew the next night would be the powerful climax. All the next day I thought of the power I would soon possess. I could hardly wait for night to fall. Yet, yet something was wrong, something that was interfering with my sacred plans, something I couldn’t place. I began to think about it, weighing each step and fact until I suddenly realized my trouble. It was with corpse Number Two. A faint smile had always lingered upon his grizzly face, and it was this that worried me. That smile mocked my every move, taunted my every thought, enraged my burning soul! I had to get rid of it. Frantically I sought a solution. 1 would— dare I do it ? Yes ! Yes! I would destroy his body and thus rid myself of that mocking smile. Immediately after midnight I silently arose and crept through the stillness of the house. I needed no lantern on this night, only silence and darkness. Never was I more cau¬ tious. You would have laughed to see me. It was hours before I stood next to the thing I was to dispose of. Slowly, carefully, I groped into the darkness until my hand closed about his throat! With a shriek of crazed rage my fingers started to tighten like a vice—but got no farther. An uncanny, horrified feeling sprang into my soul as I realized—the body was warm—and was lifting to a sit¬ ting position ! Through the darkness I could see two huge, phosphorous like eyes glowing at me! With wild fear clutching my heart I stumbled for the door, only to blindly collide with a solid, cold wall. Frantically I searched along the wet slime of the bricks for my freedom. Ever close behind me were those silent, ghastly eyes. I could imagine feeling a hot breath against my back. A sob of joy arose as I discovered the door, the door through which I had previously entered with happy anticipation. On my wobbly, old legs I clambered up the rotting staircase, into the clean night air. I didn’t dare glance back for fear of finding those eyes still following. On and on I struggled until the earth started to reel. Com¬ pletely exhausted, I slowly slumped to the ground. As I stared wildly about, the truth, and blessed truth, dawned before me. All my struggles had not been in vain. I was actually away, away, from that horrible house —forever. ★ ★ 79 A Trick to Ev Ida Urban ’37 “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.” Then followed silence, broken several minutes later by a murmur and the tapping noise of a pencil. “Eight, nine, ten, eleven.” Since the time that Ina had seen, in a pile of old papers, a contest “ad”, which she thought was simple, she had been up in her room, undistured, working on the contest. Although the contest “ad” was in an old paper, the closing date was four days off. The object of the con¬ test was to count the number of red dots in the living room suite pictured. First prize was the living room suite, second $75, third $50, and so on down the line. “124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129.” The murmuring and tapping ceased whenever Ina raised her eyes to rest, thinking in those moments what she could do with $75, or $50, or even less. Why! if she won any of the prizes, especially the $75, she could buy that ice-skating outfit she had been looking at for the past weeks, and the red and blue bicycle, and still she would have enough money to get herself a tennis racket in the spring. There would be, of course, some things for Mother and Dad. What one couldn’t buy with $75. Oh ! she must get busy and finish counting the dots by to-night for sure. She wanted to mail it that very night in order that there might be plenty of time for it to reach its des¬ tination before Friday, 12 o’clock, midnight. To-day was Tuesday. “4900.” Ina had still a long distance to go. At last, with an empty feeling, headache, and blurred vision, Ina ry Trade ★ came down from her room. “6786” red dots. She had never realized, even in her imagination, so many dots, and red at that. Several weeks later, in the morn¬ ing mail, there was a letter for Ina from the contest editor. Holding her breath and excited to the highest point, Ina tore the letter open with trembling fingers. There! was a check for $50. She had won. Hurrah ! After the excitement had subdued a little, Ina discovered that there was a letter with a check. Upon opening it, she read: Dear Friend: Congratulations! The enclosed check has been awarded you for your near correctness in “How Many Red Dots” Living Room Suite Co ntest. Important! Your contest credit check is good only upon the purchase of our merchandise, priced $99.50 to $325. The check is used for a discount. Limited to 15 days after date. Sincerely yours, John Brown, General Manager Her mind in a whirl, Ina sat down, dazed and bewildered. The thing finally dawned upon her. It was another “trick to every trade.” When could she get the $99.50 or above, and besides who wanted furniture in the first place? All her dreams were smashed. Oh! why didn’t they men¬ tion about it in the contest? 6786 red dots. Ina felt ill every time she thought about it. About this time Ina’s mother had come home from town, bringing home for Ina some dress material. Ina took the package and went to her room. To cheer herself up, Ina open¬ ed it, and then! there! before her very eyes was a piece of white silk material with red dots. ★ o ★ The Ultimate E Mary Hanchette ’38 ★ It was the night of the concert! He was nervous; but despite this fact, these nights held a thrill for him, a master, who was about to prove his ability, to exult in it, to thrill to it. Tonight’s program was especially alluring because he was going to present his favorite com¬ position for the first time. Would it receive a huge ovation, or would it merely be a well executed assembly of notes? The determination and practice which assured it of being well executed were not enough. It must be scintillating with smooth scale passages; luminous with soft, singing melodies; and brilliant with breathtaking dashes of lightning key-board scope. Tonight was the night for the opportunity to make this composition he had worked and strived on a success! The main floor of the huge concert hall was quickly being filled with women in evening dresses, which sprinkled pleasing variations of color against the more somber evening dress of the men. The galleries were crowded with the eager, youthful faces of students. All looked toward the immense stage, in the middle of which stood a lone black object, a piano, instrument of the immortals, its glistening white band of keys awaiting the touch of the master. I he first part of the program con¬ sisted of a group of classical pieces by Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. After a short intermission, the artist played a second group. Sitting down before the piano, he looked around a xpectation ★ bit, played a few chords, adjusted his seat, and tried the pedals. Then he played — this time a romantic group by Chopin and Schubert. An intermission then came, follow¬ ed by a group of original composi¬ tions the first time.He came out upon the stage enthusiastically greeted by the audience and seated himself un¬ hurriedly. Then he began his piece, playing it as he had never played it before. He had not, however, pro¬ gressed far when he felt an exceed¬ ingly cold draft on his feet. Some¬ body had thoughtlessly left a door backstage open. A menacing chill slowly crept upwards, through his body. Knowing that if his hands became cold the results would be disastrous, he became irritated and very worried. As he grew colder, he began to shiver and became desper¬ ate. His fingers continued to move even though his mind was no longer on his composition. He played on— and on—when suddenly his thoughts awoke with a start. His mind was a blank! Breaking off abruptly, he sat in a profound silence, and after a tense pause of unending duration began anew. A draft had stolen the thoughts of a great artist causing him to forget his own composition ! A second time he played it with such a display of dashing brilliance, depth of feeling, and glittering runs that the audience thundered down ap¬ plause with shouts of acclamation. He had accomplished his desire—- not applause, but the giving of real pleasure to the people. ★ 81 ★ Yelling Jerome Tarzan Cherry Cheer leader Commander Mac Donald A couple of Backs from the front Pals—from start to finish Oh, for a Dog’s Life “I don’t believe you” Davy Crockett A pose and a half Ex-West High Pierce Star gazers ’n’ candy sellers Nuthin’ Doin’ PUBLICITY VERSARY EOS SILVER ANNI ★-★ ) GERTRUDE SCOTT SMITH ADVISOR - HESTER THOMASSON Editor-in-Chief ★ NELSON MILLARD Business Manager ★ Through the united efforts of the entire class and the faculty advisers, the Class of ’35 has been able to pro¬ duce the twenty-fifth Eos.

But after all, it is not the staff, but you, the reader, who will determine the success of those concerned in the publication of the Anniversary Eos. ★ 84 Assistant Editor SPRINGFIELD BALDWIN ALBERT G R E V E T T E FRED WIRT Assistant Business Managers MYRTLE LINDAHL Literary Editor HAZEL O F F U T T VIRGINIA ERICKSON ALBERTA S E A V E Y Assistant Literary Editors MARIAN ROSENTHAL Subscription Manager HELEN GUYTON JEANETTE HAY LYMAN MACATEE ELIZABETH PARKHURST MARY QUIRIN A D E L E BOWMAN NORMAN BRUBAKER CHESTER DAVIS Assistant Subscription Managers JACK HOLSLAG Alumni Subscription Editor MAXINE THOMAS Assistant Alumni Subscription Editor LORRAINE GOLDMAN Art Editor JACK FOHN H A R R I ,E T MAY CAROL STAPLETON JUANITA CONNERY LUCILLE STUMPF Assistant Art Editors KATHERINE STATHIS Assistant Dramatic Editor TICKA MCWETHY Dramatic Editor JANE LONG Society Editor ISABEL GREI Assistant Society Editor JOHN MAR CHAN R O W L Boys’ Athletic Co-Editors I L D R E D F E T G A R E T F L Girls’ Athletic Co-Editors Music Co-Editors CARRIE MICKELBERG Senior History E R B H K E Y M E R N N J N S 11 L Y M Grtic Vi u n a r c, s Assistant Snapshot Editor BLAIR O’CONNOR Snapshot Editor U E EGAN Joke Editor HN WETZEL Assistant Joke Editor BETTY JANE COCHRAN L PRITCHARD Calendar Co-Editors IILEEN FRITZ Literary Typist IAN GREGORY Edito r’s Typist NNE KELLOGG Sports-Music Typist LEN LOWRY Calendar Typist Y MCLAUGHLIN Jokes-Subscription Typist BETH R 0 Y S T 0 N Dramatics-Society Typist THE RED ★ - ★ LENA V. ROWE ADVISOR ★ - ★ GRACE LEAH DANIELS Editor ★ ALBERTA SEAVEY Business Manager AND BLUE ★ Completing its eighth year of publi¬ cation, the Red and Blue has once more stopped to look back on the past year. The staff, under the supervision of Miss Lena V. Rowe, and the printing classes, with the direction of Mr. Leslie Gee, have succeeded in publishing more and larger issues than during the past years. The semester subscription policy of cir¬ culation has been restored this year. Another proof of the increasing interest in journalism was the size of the class, the largest in its history. A large dele¬ gation of the Red and Blue staff joined with equally eager ones from surround¬ ing schools at the Big Six Press Con¬ ference held at East High on October 20. In an attempt to increase the scope of the conference, East High invited the staffs of neighboring schools. Pro¬ fessor Charles L. Allen of the Univer¬ sity of Illinois spoke at the morning session and Paul B. Nelson, editor and ★ 86 manager of “The Scholastic Editor”, at the banquet. Hidden identities and the next year’s editor-in-chief were brought to light at the annual Cauldron banquet held in May. The staff, journal¬ ism class, printers, advisers, and persons having made at least three con¬ tributions to the Cauldron column were eligible to attend. The staff and journal¬ ism class wish to express their sincere gratitude to Miss Rowe and Mr. Gee. ★ RED AND BLUE STAFF Assistant .Editor .Marguerite Schink Circulation Manager .Edna Skom Cauldron_Bob Millard, Isabelle Greiter Sports Editors.Ivor Morris, Charles Schminke Girls’ Sports Editors.Betty Jane Cochran, Marian Rosenthal Literary Editor_Virginia .Erickson Splinters .Betty Odmark, Helen Lowry Do You Know .Lorraine Goldman, Jane Long By the Way.Gertrude Skom Reporters:— Myrtle Lindahl, Catherine Stathis, Theodore Youngman, Jeanette Hay, Hortense Eric- son Albert Fagerholm, Bob Jones, Lorraine Kiten- plon, Eileen Smith, Audrey Hall, Olga Carroza, Mary Jane Swift, Ben Phelper, Jack Guest, Irene Stone, Mary Louise Bacon, Agnes Matteson, Jean Funk, Don Keenan, Mariee Louise Evans, Miriam Haried, Gail Annenberg. ★ -★ ★ - ★ First Row—I.

Rea ★ West High has received a most gracious and generous gift from one of its loyal alumni, Mrs. Ruth Van Sickle Ford.

In behalf of the school and the administration we wish to express our deep appreciation and hearty thanks for this thoughtful, beautiful, and valuable gift to our school. ★ ★ 97 ★ Dorothy M. Kinney, an honor stu¬ dent of the Class of 1 932 West High School of Aurora, passed away Wed¬ nesday night, March 27, 1935, after an illness of only two weeks. Her death was caused by streptococcic infection. Dorothy’s willingness to work, her enthusiasm and idealism led her into many activities and her unselfishness made for her an ever- widening circle of friends. Besides being a most efficient secretary to Supt. D. B. Heller she was an active member of the Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church and its organiza¬ tions, being vice-president of the Ep- worth League, president of the Dra¬ matic Guild, librarian of the church choir, and a member of the Sunday School. She was a charter member and one of the first patrol leaders of Girl Scout Troop 4 and later was promoted to the position of lieuten¬ ant in the same troop. Dorothy Kinney was born May 6, 1913, in Aurora. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Kin¬ ney, two brothers, the Rev. Harold Kinney of Vermontville, Michigan, and Charles, a freshman in West High, one sister Ruth ’33 now a stu¬ dent at Aurora College, and her grandmother, Mrs. Cora Townsend. Drs. L. Morgan Chambers and Ralph M. Pierce officiated at the fun¬ eral. Airs. Helen Manning LaMotte sang “The Prayer Perfect” and “The Rosary,” both among Dorothy’s fav¬ orite selections. Supt. D. B. Heller expresses his appreciation of Dorothy as follows: ★ I desire to express my personal appreciation for the character and services of Dorothy Kinney, whom the Divine Creator in His wisdom saw fit to take from us so suddenly. Dorothy was devoted to her duties and at all times in all activities, ex¬ emplified Christian ideals. She was efficient and dependable. Mv office isn’t the same since she left. We miss Dorothy. Her influence will, how¬ ever, long continue an inspiration. ★ 98 ★ PROGRAM ★ for the Year 1934-1935 OUR PAST (As described by Alliwishus) SEPTEMBER 22— our footbal teem licked york 29— we plaid glenbard but lost 30— eegad! scool is gunna start toomorow OCTOBER 1—scool started i gess they like it eny- how ther dont seem to be much teers 3—the freshies is lost that is not awl they are dum! our scool is remod¬ eled Gee the senyors luk silly lost 5—our scool got beet by joliet. i, was stuk too a seet by sum chooing gum. 9—Gee im having a dul time thers nuthin’ doin’. 11—it raned 13—we whipt dekalb gud. the band plaid lowd az time. 16—i wuz listenin too nebergal spout too day that surtanely waz a bum joak he sprung. 20—miss rowe tuk her klas to the big 6 press conference there wazent a feed i dident go. 23— there wuz a glass blower heere too day he spoak to the kemists 24 — the junyers had a meting too day an elected oflfisers them junyers is o.k. 26— the teem goes too play rockford too day i got five sents bet on them. 27— hully gee they lost i sure am griped. 30—had sum doins in town toonite i wuz sik as time an cudent go out.
