' .g,qfl,. g , - . , V 2 Any history of early Aurora, be it ' 'Q M ' .x I en. long or short, must necessarily be that r fl , of Samuel and joseph McCarty, who are credited with being the founders of Tvkcwy WL this community. The young men, hav- far West, decided to cast their lots in the new country. Joseph, choosing the town site, made friends with Waubonsie and his Indians and renamed the West Aurora and Bata- via region, then known as Big Woods, McCarty's Mills. These hardy, adventurous pio- neers, with character, education, and business acumen that presaged successful accomp- lishment, will have as their perpetual monument the city of Aurora. In 1837 Aurora was named, a post office secured, a new grist mill opened, the last oi the Indians were banished, new settlers received, business houses started and small fac- tories openedg the town was on its way up. It may be thought that the history of Aurora has been humble and commonplace, yet it has experienced within the life time of a few who are still with us the disappearance of the savage, the coming and passing of the pioneer, and finally the advent of a civilization not surpassed by that of the oldest communities in the world. Aurora was the first city in the world to light its streets by elec- tricity and the first municipality to own its electric lighting system. Foremost among Aurora's Firsts were Miss Angeline Atwater, who conducted a school for the west side, and Mr. Livings, who likewise opened classes on the east side. The lirst school was located on the Fox River near the foot of Spring Street. Then, due to a growing need in the community, a high school was organized. An institution like the West High School of Aurora is a growth, and not a spontaneous creation. Only a few of the West Aurora High School alumni remember the attractive old stone school house of six rooms surrnounted by a belfry, containing a bell, which called the child- ren to school for more than thirty years. This historic structure was located on the site of the present Oak Street School building, in 1870. Soon after the civil war there arose much dissatisfaction concerning the management of the schools 3 and many of the older boys and girls were sent by parents to Q , fi H Fha- -KN N Clark fnow jenningsj Seminary. f ' ,AK M - ,ai WGA ' XV 2 Corporal and unusual punishment had QW ' 5 been carried to extreme. Illustrating one KJ? f mode of punishment, it was no uncommon El w f l1?iW7 jx vie! - thing to see a pupil stretched out full l ' ,.,, - ..1ML1-4fCf '5?.- length on a shelf of a bookcase, doing , V 4 .- xy, . , , gfsiiwi W :f penance for some misdemeanor. 4 A change in superintendents was A ai- - K ' thought advisable and the board of ai- ',i,,, -i rectors, Alonzo George, William Law- g 5 V rence, and Dr. Allaire selected Frank H. i t A 'n yr -, 'fjfggt if I NX Hall, a young man from Maine, less than - X i a li ,-Sl pn years of age, for the position in 297 1 Vi. 5 A-ff' ' J ' -. . ,nl 'vlff ff ' School conditions were entirely differ- - ,f ' Y ent in the seventies and eighties from F ' F ' what they are today. The school was ' ' 'ff1fQi3'sT surrounded by a high picket fence and W flbfmmn board sidewalk. A deep well with an old oaken bucket supplied the water, the rooms were heated by stoves, the young people were warmly clad. But two teachers were then employed in the high school besides the superintendent and the principal. There were no special teachers in those days. Su- perintendent Hall led the singing with the assistance of his pitch pipe, as there were no musical instruments in any of the schools. Then came Mr. Hastings with his flute. Professor Freeman put music in charge of regular teachers. T-oo much cannot be said in praise of Frank H. Hall and his untiring efforts in or- ganizing the West Aurora High School. He was remarkable in being able to keep the older boys in school and was loved and respected by every pupil. Both W. B. Powell on the east side and Frank H. Hall were instrumental in building up Aurora's schools and both received recognition and honors in greater fields of learning elsewhere. Fun in the Old Days consisted of picnics at Mill Creek in the summer, skating on the river above the dam, sleigh rides to Batavia with sleigh bells and buffalo robes follow- ed by oyster suppers in the winter, all of which afforded the students great joy. Due to fire a new building was erected in 1906 on Galena, Blackhawk, and Walnut Streets. yan- ---+------ -. i In 1870 four girls and one boy were gradu- ated from the west side school. They were Ella Stolp, Emma Stolp, Mary Judd, Frank Bradley 5 4 ' A fx , ,N and Naveda Hines. Also ranked in the list of 5 ,-2?-Q gk 1 ,X 'X .X Aurora's Firsts were Burr Winton, the lirst 5 ghd ,,-J- , .1 Z '- .U . to conduct a subscription library, and B. F.

It seems ages and ages ago, almost legend- ary, since the little old one lunged Brush machine, Uhorseless carriages, used to spit and jerk along the streetg objects of interest and curiosity, targets of abuse, ridicule and derision 3 but it isn't so long ago as time i measured. The automobile passed through those three famous stages Cas did the moviesj, per- Sewtion, ridicule, and adoption. In Aurora our pioneer motorists carried on bravely through the first two stages. The first auto ever on Aurora Streets was a steam-powered locomobile owned by Hi Henry, the famous minstrel man, driven during the parade before his show. It attracted more attention than a herd of elephants, about 1897. O C. Miller drove an electric car about Aurora for a few days, presumably on trial, but Charles Phillips was the first Aurora man to own a machine. In the pioneer days of auto interest, a newspaper carried a column headed Buzz Buggies and Bugs that Drive Them. The first newspaper, the Aurora Democrat, was published by the Ingraham Bros., in 1846. It lasted but three weeks and was followed in 1847 by the Beacon, the lirst suc- cessful newspaper. It was published by M. V. and B. F. Hall over P. A. Hall's drug store on the west side of River Street. Moving pictures made their debut in Aurora at the Lyric, the first theater having been opened in a store building on the south side of Main Street in 1908. Since teddy- lgear dolls were then all the rage, the iirst show was just some scenes of animated teddy ears. Auwra has made many improvements, but one factor remains the same through the passing years-the great, natural beauty of the Fox River Valley, noteworthy for the love- liness of its scenery, beauteous woodlands, rippling WMCYWBYS- CDNTENTS I SCHOUI.

This group is charged with responsibility for the co-ordination of extra-curricular activities and is expected to initiate new projects for the general good of the school. During the year many problems relating to student activities were discussed by special committees chosen from the council, who then made recommendations to the principal and extra-curricula committee of the faculty. Several new projects were inaugurated, outstand- ing of which was the activity ticket plan, which received considerable appreciation by the student body. VVeekly assemblies were provided by a special committee for that purpose, and the football bane quet, one of the most enjoyable social events, was managed bv the social committee. The council, com' posed of the leaders of the various school organi- zations, also sponsored several pep assemblies and the Thanksgiving Eve rally.

A SHEPARD A IBIQIEF HISTDIQY DF TI-IE SENIDIQ CLASS UF 1937 The graduating seniors could never have forged through the four difficult years of lligh School had it not been for the valuable as- sistance of the six faculty advisers. Among the numerous tasks of which they acted as overseers were the publication of the EOS , selection of class rings and announcements, selling of concessions and of the many dances and the graduation exercises of the class. When the class of 1937 entered Wvest High in the autumn of 1933, it was every bit as green as the general run of freshmen class- es, at that time 1937 seemed a long way off to most of the 275 mem- bers. But they made a commendable start, selecting Donald Keenan as president with john VVright, Anita Trapp, and Orland Traver- sino assisting him, soon becoming adjusted to high school routine and getting down to work in earnest, thereby becoming bona-fide members of Vifest High. In March the class played host at the an- nual Freshman costume party. The year ended before one realized it, and after a four-month summer vacation due to the remodeling of the school building, the class of 1937 again entered the doors of VVest High. This time, how- ever. their status was a hit higher, and they were no longer trod on by the large and dignified seniors. They were sophomores-still three years left, but a little further advanced toward the ultimate goal. Robert Grilfeth was elected to the presidency, with Ruth Esser as vice-president, Mariee Louise Evans as secretary, and Miriam Haried, the treasurer, The outstanding social function of the class that year was the sophomore Valentine party, presented on Febe ruary ll. Audrey Dudgeon, Merle Eby, Merry Ellen Twyford, and Donald Stephens were selected to pilot the class during its third year. The class was rapidly advancing to new heights and gaining more prestige in the school. Bob Rabbit Pritchard presided over the first amateur hour, and because of the tremendous success of the affair, it was made an annual event, Major Pritchard presiding again this year. As a fitting climax to the year, the long-awaited junior Prom, with its many decorations and its gala Oriental setting, was given for the graduating seniors on the first of June, Barbara Healy, prom queen, ascended her high and majestic throne, from whence great joy could be had in viewing the vivid panorama from above, with its two hundred youthful couples whirling about mid their colorful and picturesque Alapanese environment. The fourth year for the one hundred eighty-five remaining students of the senior class dawned brightly, a good start having been made by the election of Donald Keenan as president, fur- nishing him the opportunity to give the class its final send-off. Richard Reising became the vice-president, while Robert Griffeth and Ruth Esser handled the jobs of secretary and treasurer. The executive council, part of the new student council, con- sisted of the class officersg the executives of various clubs and publicationsg the defeated candidates for office. Melvin Sprinkel, ,lohn VVright, Mariee L. Evans and Thomas Van Hyningg and the members selected by the several social studies classes, Ruth Leaf, Earl Huntoon, Margaret VVredling, VVilliam l,az, Margery Stephens, VValter Anderson, Robert Baysinger, .leanne Swanson, Charles Rooth, -leen Reeves, Martha Dunham, and Richard Tilton. On the twenty-eighth of April a senior conference was held at lfast High where talks on vocational guidance were presented to high school seniors from the Fox River Valley, followed by a tea dance in the gymnasium. Then the year swiftly drew to a closeg the class play, given in May, baccalaureate, junior prom, class day, issuance of thc EOS, a never-to-be-forgotten class picnic, and commencement following in rapid succession, the year ending on june eleventh-four happy years gone by in VVest High, but now the seniors are through, facing the world with a light heart and an earnest ambition for success.

K 4- Underclassmen EXT lfAl2'S SENIIDIQS The class of 1938, past the half-way mark and al- ready anticipating the coming year, when they will graduate, selected Vlfilliam Murphy, for the second successive year, to pilot them through the trials and tribulations which have fallen on them as they have slowly grown older and become able to shoulder more responsibility and to take a large part in the activities of the school. Adrienne Roscoe was elected vice-president, while Raymond Anderson and Har- old Mindell were chosen to fulhll the many duties of secretary and treasurer, respectively. Besides the officers, members of the junior Class Council are the defeated nominees for office, Barbara Ruby, Thomas McElin, Sue Simons and Frances Keenan: the dues collectors, Elizabeth Hobart, Foster Stolp, Imas Rice, Harriet Carman, Violet Sether, Marian Ainsworth, Lillian Bousloughg and those elected from the several history classes, Louise Tanner, jerry Carlson, Mary june Barclay, Frank Burgess, Dorothy Mercer, Ann Katz, junior Rothrock, Mary Hanchette, Charles W'ilber, janet Funken, Robert Sanderson, jean Herrington, Robert Staley, james Gormsen, jo Anne Steiner, VVade Gor- man, and Mary Ellen Connery. To start out the year, ten juniors played on the heavyweight championship football team and re- ceived letters, while six played with the lightweight champs, one from each squad receiving an i-Xll-Con- ference position. .Ns for social activities, the juniors took charge of the Christmas party and, early in june, presented the junior prom, for the entertainment of the Seniors. The scene was an old southern plantation. A high picket fence surrounded the dimly lighted tloor, while the orchestra played from a typical southern porch with its large white pillars. Late in the year Mr. Palmer, head adviser of the class, resigned to accept a position in Milwaukee. Miss Brown was selected to take his place, with Mr. Butler, who took over his faculty duties, filling the vacancy. Other teachers who supervised the activi- ties of the juniors were Miss Brennan, Miss Plain, Miss Esser, Mr. Peterson, and Mr. Allen.

JEANE ROBISON JACK CREVISTON President Secretary LAWRENCE FOSTER CHARLOTTE NORLING Vice-President Treasurer CLASS DI: 1939 For the second year the class of 1939 started activities by the election of a girl to the presidency. jeane Robison received the vote of the majority this year, with Lawrence Foster coming in second, accordingly becoming vice-president. jack Crevis- ton was elected secretary with Charlotte Norling taking care of the funds. The head adviser of the class was Miss Raymond, and assisting her were Miss Peterson, Miss Ratclitte, Miss Rowe, Mr. Latlin, and Mr. Tilly. Members of the sophomore class council, besides the officers, were the defeated candidates, Joanne Stephens, Donald Owen, Morton Bowman, and Betty Lou Henry, the dues collectors, Barbara Flentye, Fred Porter, Margaret Pauly, Robert Hird, Betty VVatkins, Dolores Tilton, Margery Beaber, and Catherine Carson, and those elected by the class, Thomas McCullough, Elwyn Fox, Frank Han- non, Kenneth VVollenweber, Robert Currier, Richard Humm, Richard McVVethy, Elmer Ertz, Gabe Bil- derback, Dorothy Vincett, Muriel Martin, Shirley Marshall, Sue McVVethy, Martha Pease, jane McGuire, and jean Evans. Following the example set by the juniors at Christmas time, the sophomores decided to hold their annual party, a Valentine dance, at night, on the nineteenth of February. Morton Bowman carried out the duties of the program chairman with Mare tha Pease chairman of the decorations, Richard Humm, chairman of the orchestra committee, Ro- bert Currier and Betty Bell Nield co-chairmen of concessions, and Barbara Flentye handling the publicitv. As of May first, the only sophomores to win athe letic letters were Robert Piazza and Lawrence Fos- ter, who played on the lightweight championship football team. Eleven other boys, however, reported for the squads, and proved to be likely-looking material for next vear's team. Eight boys reported for basketball in December. Even the championship debate team contained one sophomore, Joanne Stephens, while hve others reported for debate and are making rapid progress in the course. Twenty-eight sophomore girls were active in the girls' athletic association. M. J. ANDERSON P. ANDERSON M. ARMSTRONG L. BAHRENBURG I S. BALCOMB M. BALE T. BANBURY R. BARNES B. BARR R.

They stay there for but a short time, however, for after making a few acquaintances and becoming adjusted to the school routine, the year passes almost too swiftly. Freshmen often believe that they are decidedly inferior to the upper-classmen, but they always prove to be of just as high a caliber and to be just as active in school activities as the classes that have preceeded them. This yearis beginners seleeted llelen Wfheeler to pilot them through the vicissitudes of the initial year, with Vincent Desmond assisting her, Rosalie Reising taking care of the secretarial duties, and Marjorie Mae Stolp keeping tab of the money. Mr. Meyer, chief adviser of the Class, kept an ever- watchful eye on the grceuhorns, and was very suc- cessful in keeping them from mischief. His assistant advisers were Mr. Grant, Miss VVood, Miss Hard, and Miss Suino. liven the freshies play a part in the social aetivie ties of the school, and on the evening of April ninth were the sponsors of the freshman party an annual event at NVest lrligh. Orville Mallette's orchestra furnished the music, while members of the freshman class took over the Hoor show. Betty Edwards, Rosalie Reising, and liflaine Sehalz presented tap dances, while Robert Kunz and the Rebenstorf bro- thers formed au accordion and string' trio. Everyone enjoyed himself under the soft lights to the rhythm of the f'sWing band. Members of the lfreshmen Class Council were as follows: the four officersg the defeated candidates, I-Eetty llosler, Robert Chick, june llreyer, and ,lack llariedq and those elected by the class, Clara Ferry, Vernon Rehenstorf, Robert llillings, Betty Lund, liarbara Nshworth, Wlilliam lvliller, Catherine Cordogan, Robert liurnas, Uetty Cronin, Donald Neill.

Front VVest High had one of the most successful tennis seasons in its history last year. The team had seven important matches and was victorious in every one. They won, among other meets, the Big Seven Conference championship and the Kane County Championship. Dave Stephens, four-letterman, won the County and Con- ference singles crowns. The doubles combination of Chrisse and Baker won the County and Conference doubles championships. All three of these men were top-notchers. .Ioe Detweiler and Bob Baysinger, juniors, won the second doubles championship in the Conference meet, and qualified for the State finals in the District meet. They lost their first match downstate, however, The team had dual meets with Elgin, East High, Joliet, Glenbard, and Hinsdale. The squad was composed of Captain Dave Stephens, first singlesg john Chrisse and Arvil Baker, first doublesg Bill Schmeiser and Bill Kenzler, alternate second singlesg Joe Det- weiler and Bob Baysinger, second doublesg Bob Pritchard and Bud Foster. alternate third singlesg Russ Hanchette and John Reed, cloublesg Jack Bell, singlesg Foster Stolp and Tom McElin, doubles. Wincl and frequent rains interrupted early practice sessions but by May 1, the boys were practicing frequently. Almost every week two and sometimes three matches were held-a very full season which kept them stepping. Stephens, captain and first singles man, was of exceptional ability. His mere 5 foot 3 inch height would seem a disadvantage to a tennis player hut, because of a well balanced service and a powerful forehand drive, he managed very well. ln the singles finals of the conference, Dave met Chuck Wins- ton of Joliet and defeated him after a terrific battle.

Two boys, Joe Detweiler and Bob llaysinger, first doubles com- bination, have qualified for the State finals at Urbana. They compet- ed on May 15. The boys won the right to compete at Urbana by virtue of their victories in the District meet held at Joliet on May 1. They defeated the Joliet team of VVitner and Munroe in the finals 6-2, 5-7, and 6-3. The first meet of the season was held on April 20. In a scheduled live-match meet with Elgin at lilgin, VVcst managed to nip three of the matches before darkness overshadowed the courts. Bob I'rit- chard beat Wellnitz of Elgin, 6-3, 4-6, and 6-1. Bill Kenzler took Elgfin's second singles man, McLaughlin, 8-6, 2-6, and 6-4. In the only doubles match, Foster Stolp and Tom McElin of VVest de- feated Rovelstead and Smith of Elgin in a 6-4, 6-1, match. On .Xpril 27 the Hawks met Joliet on the Joliet courts and were trounced 5-0. All the matches were close, however. .X very strong northerly wind on May 5 failed to cramp the Hawks' style as they downed Elgin 4-1 in a return meet on the Hawk courts. Jack Bell, promising' third singles, defeated Beck- with 6-2, 6-3. The only Hawk defeat was the hrst doubles match. At Glenbard on May 6, the Hawks dropped a 3-2 meet. as only one singles and one doubles could penetrate the strong Glenbard machine. Jack Bell, second singles, won his match, and Foster Stolp and Hannon took second doubles. Bob Pritchard, at left, guards his side of the net. Bob played First singles.

Because golf has not been adopted by all conference schools and because it is hard to find public links where tournaments of this nature may be easily held, the progress of the sport as an inter-scholastic event has been somewhat retarded. How- ever, in West High interest in golf is increasing, and it is thought that it soon will grow to high regard among the students. ln 1936 the squad had dual meets with joliet, Elgin, and East High. They were also entered in the conference and Dis- trict meets. f In 1937 the squad, coached by Larry Allen, competed in three tourneys: a triangular meet between VVest, Elgin, and Joliet, a dual meet with East High on May 12, and the District tournament.

The scope of the G. .-X. .Xfs activities included a large field of sports and almost every girl was able to find some sport she parti- cularly enjoyed. The fall schedule otlered basketball, hockey, soccer, and tennis. Upon returning from Thanksgiving vacation the winter schedule was posted and included tumbling, tap dancing, and an intra-mural basketball tournament. .X luadminton set and two new table-tennis tahles were purchased by the G. A. QX. at this time and provided two different ways for the cluh members to earn points for unorganized activities. The spring sports were lmaseball, archery, lmadminton, volley hall, and ping-pong. lllay-day is an important event in the G. .X. .X. curriculum. This year XVest High played hostess to lilgin and lfast .Xurora at a has- lcetlmall play-day. .Xt DeKalb and VVheaton each girl, upon arriving, received a certain color to designate on which haskethall team she was to play. Hy this method everyone was separated from her friends and new acquaintances were made. The 'loliet club, instead of having basketball, carried out the theme of a ship and after em- lmarltinef entertained with various games which are played on the ship's deck. Sportmanship and adapting oneself to play with other team- mates are the main factors involved in this type of activity.

QX. calender was a large number of social events. Many girls who couldn't participate in sports joined for this phase. In September the freshmen were initiated at a picnic in Phillip's Park. .-X Hallowe'en party was held in October, followed bv the annual banquet on Tuesday night, May 20, in the cafeteria. The main feature of the evening was the presentation of the awards which the members earned during the school year. Again the GAA. Swing Band furnished the entertainment. The participants were not all G, .X. .-X. members, however the girls from the club aided Miss Foster in planning and organizing. Every summer a junior girl is sent to the State League Camp for a ueek The winner of this award in 1936 was Audrey Duclgeon, chosen because of her slmlw ne Hockey, a new activity at VVest High, proved to be very popular for eight consecutive weeks last fall. This game had not been played for a number of years and therefore most of the time was taken in learning the technique. Most of the equipment was old and worn but in spite of the handicaps Miss Foster directed the Junior and Senior girls in many hours of study and practice. There are eleven members to a team and the positions are as follows: left wing, left inner, center forward, right inner, right wing, left halfback, center halfback, right halfback, left fullback, right fullback, and the goal-keeper. Girlsl held hockey is a strenuous sport and often-times the game gets pretty rough. It is a fast game and requires skill both from the physical and mental standpoint. If the game is played without an umpire, the girls usually come out of it with skinned shins and sore muscles. ' Only two games were played during the season. The seniors were defeated by two goals in the first but came back the following week and made one more goal than the juniors. The girls who came out for hockey were: Mary jane Flanders, Eleanor Huffmaster, Esther johnson, Dorothy Mercer, Catherine Riddle, Hazel Satterlee, Shirley Serby, jo Anne Steiner, jane Stev- enson, Shirley Uza, Gladys Van Fleet, Nancy Vlloolnough, Mary Ellen Bennett, Betty Robinson, Barbara Ruby, Eloise Stumm, Louise VVoodward, and Betty Niehuis. A great interest was shown in the intra-mural basketball tourna- ment this year and enough girls came out to have two senior, two junior, seven sophomore, and seven freshmen teams. The sophomore team, however, with Geraldine Vonck, Eleanor Rice, Ruth Meyer, ,leanne Rowe, .lean Cromer, Barbara Flentye, Madge Cyr, and Lethia Ellis defeated the other sophomore squads, the freshmen, and juniors, emerged victors in the final game, 14-9. I After losing to the sophomores the juniors overthrew the seniors 14-12 and copped second place. The fighting freshmen team took the seniors 13-4. Therefore they were in third place while the seniors were in fourth. This was very unusual for the seniors after tour years of experi ence but in this way the under-classmen proved their athletic ability and sportsmanship. Miss Bard, typing instructor, assisted Miss Foster by taking charge of the games. Referees and umpires for the finals were chosen from the senior class. They were jeen Reeves, Audrey Dud- geon, Mary Lou Cooper and Corinne Votteiger. During the soccer season the sophomores again distinguished themselves by capturing the tournament. The teammates who up- held their Ucharm of luck were Marjorie Beaber, Lethia Ellis, Virginia Brown, Ruth Vifollenweber, june Malon, Juanita Beane, -lean Grennan, Madge Cyr, jean Evans, Maxine Henry, Lucille XVagner, and Dolores Tilton. The freshmen ruled over the juniors in the first game while the sophomores' game was between the sophomores and the freshmen in which the former won. The juniors then took the seniors for third place. Although the seniors worked hard throughout, Dorothy Truax, Katherine NVollenweber, Audrey Dudgeon, Shirley Hubbard, Lor- etta Kelly, Catherine Quirin, lda Urban, Gladys Donkle, and Mary Lou Cooper lost the last game of their high school career. .Xll the games were played at the athletic field or at Greenman held. The girls' tennis tournament was held at VVest High's courts early in November in '36 with a group of girls from Elgin. It was a cold brisk day but this did not interfere with the skill of VV. :Xfs opponents for they emerged victorious winning three out of four matches. .Xlter the intra-mural tournaments various dancing classes were held once a week. The tap classes included beginners, intermediates, and advanced. Try-outs, under the supervision of Miss Foster, jean Rita Larson, Colleen Hynes, and Sue Simons, was the method used to place the girls in the class they belonged. Every Tuesday after school Miss Foster gave instructions in the Dance Club on modern dancing, which is the old type taught in a new interesting way. X Z' 1-4 S. l HARRY H. NIGRO Director Uncler the able direction of Mr. llarry H. Xigro, the bantl has clone most outstanding work this season. This organization never failed to perform at all home football and basketball games. At the football games, letters were formed that aclcletl to the excitement ancl thrill of the games. The band has ninety students in its membership, which is a little less than last season's enrollment, but the loss is not noticecl when the bancl performs. From this organization several small groups liaw been formecl. :X brass sextette, members of which are as follows: lfarl lluntoon, liutltl johnson, Donald Hatch, ,lutlson Moore, Guy Shavlcley, ancl james llelcl, is one. This group from the band plaeecl in the Second Division at the District Contest.

The trombone quartet placetl in First Division antl its mem- bers are .lack Creviston, linrltl johnson, llaroltl Meyer, antl llarolcl Osman. The bancl plays an important part in the .-Xurora com- munity ancl has such a reputation that it is known to offer still' competition throughout the Mitlclle XVest. VVhen Mr. Nigro first came to W'est lligh School of ,luroi-a, the bancl was a disrupted organization with little importance, '36-'37 Only through his sincere and earnest efforts has the band been able to attain such a position and such a noteworthy name. It has always given its fullest co-operation to any given demands. Performances have been numerous for the band this season and they have played at the follow- ing places: several assemblies at the beginning of the school year, Dedication Memorial for Deceased Firemen, Navy Day Parade, .Xurora College Home-coming, a cone cert for the North Aurora Parent-Teacher .'Xssociation, and a combined concert with the entire Music Depart- ment. 'llhe Brass sextette played for assembly and Busi- ness and Professional VVomen's Banquet. 'llhe 'llrombone quartet performed for the St. Olaf Church and graduation for Night School at East lligh School of .'Xurora. 'l'he District Contest was held March 20, 1937111 XYest Chicago, lllinois, and the State Contest April 22, 23, 24, l937 at Champaign, lllinois.

'llhe 1930-7 season was an unusual and a successful one for the orchestra, under the directorship of Mr. Harry Xigro. At the beginning of this year bass viol, 'cello, and viola classes were formed, taking mostly freshmen for its mem- bers. 'llhese groups were added to the orchestra and by the additions the orchestra changed to a prominent organization of the high school. The enrollment increased to sixty mem- bers and next year there are hopes of its mounting to seven- ty in number. VVith this definite change, lllr. Xigro entered the orches- tra in the contest held at lflgin, Illinois, .Xpril 17, 1937, and it placed in First Division. 'llhe state contest was held April 30 and May l, 1937, at Normal, Illinois. Soloists from the orchestra were also entered in the contest. ,Iaclc Creviston went directly to the national contest because he was placed last year in First Division of the national contest. Donald Hatch, Robert Morehouse, illargaret and vlune Pauly were placed in the First Division in the state contest. liatherine Gustafson placed in First Division in the District contest. This yearis orchestra has performed at a number of places, including an assembly at the beginning of the year and several banquets. The orchestra gave a very successful Spring concert with the Glee Clubs and Band and was received with much en- IQC ESTIQA thusiasm by the audience, who were surprised to see how the orchestra had improved in both performance and member- ship. A meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association was an- other affair for which the orchestra played, The Scholastic Association met at West High School of Aurora in the month of October and the orchestra gave a line concert for this gathering. A small orchestra was organized to play for occasions where the regular orchestra would have been too large. This group played for the Football Banquet, junior and Senior Class l'lays, Parent-Teachers Association meeting, and the annual operetta, which this year was l inafore under the direction of Mr. Wayne Hertz, Selections included in the orchestra's repertoire are as follows: A'Stradella 4Van Flotow, which is the required number for contestg Symphony Miniature Xo. ZH-johnson, which is the selected numberg Jean de l'aris -Baieldieug and Un Giarno in Venaziau-Nevin. The officers for this season were Donald Hatch, presi- dent: Budd johnson, vice-presidentg Katherine Gustafson, secretaryg and Martha Dunham, librarian. Thus has passed another season for the orchestra of VVest High School of Aurora, which will long be remem- HARRY H. NIGRO Director bered by the students involved.

Chick Music is a cornerstone in the building of men's lives- with this thought in mind, great strides have been made in the direction of better musical training at VVest High. The .X Cappella Choir of VVest High was a new organi- zation this year, but under the guidance of VVayne S. Hertz, director, it has succeeded unbelievably well. It consists of picked members of the four glee cluhs of the school. Choir robes in the traditional red and blue colors were purchased at the outset of the year, and otiicers were selected, VValter Anderson being elected to the presidency, joseph Cosentino, Melvin Sprinkel, and Lillian Powley were vice-president, secretary, and librarian, respectively. The Choir presented two programs during the year, and in the district contest at Elgin on April 17 received a superior rating, making them eligible for the state contest the following week. Vnder the guiding hand of Mr. Hertz, the Boys' vocal department has progressed strongly, The glee club won first prize in the state contest last year and proceeded to win the district contest, held on Saturday, April 17, of this year. -yi 'W . , fkfic, 7 lx A if ze , '. 3 W e, iz, 'f f rj, 4, ., ,f .

At the first appearance of the Girls' Glee Clubs this year, they sang for the Illinois Congress of Parents and Teachers on September 22. On the 29th they appeared in a school assembly.

The climax ofa very successful VVest lligh musical year was the presentation of H. M. S, Pinafore, a Gilbert and Sullivan Comic Opera. Under the direction of Mr. Hertz it proved to be a smashing success. Characters were drawn from all parts of the school: commercial classes, art department, dramatic clubs and music classes. The number of excellent voices available was unusual for a high school production. Lillian Powley and Lucille Skogen, alternating in the part of Josephine, displayed qualities enviable in amateur drama. They were well supported by Ruth Esser in the role of Buttercup and Phyllis Sampson Hebe. Upholding the male side of the cast was Don McCune doing his bit as Captain Corcoran in a splendid manner and Bob Koyl who enacted the villainous role of Dick Deadeye. Bill Morlock was fitted in the part of Sir joseph and proved himself quite capable of faithfully depicting the rakish old gentleman. The hero of the story was enacted by ,Ioe Coscntino, who plaved Ralph Rackstraw. To all who know the story of Vinafore it remains a prime favorite. It was written as a protest against conditions existing in the British Navy at that period. The content, in brief, is this: Ralph Rackstraw, a humble foremast hand, becomes enamoured with -losephine, the captainls daughter, Al- though she loves him, she pretends otherwise because of the difference in their stations. Complications, interspersed with a vein of delightful humor, arise, but it is discovered that Ralph and the Captain, born at the same time, were inter- changedg therefore Ralph is really the captain, positions are switched, and everyone is happily married. Sparkling with wit and humor, refreshing as a summer shower was this operetta, and delightfully presented. Nor could it have been a success without the aid of a splendid mixed chorus comprised of sailors and sweethearts. IDINAFUIQE SENIUIQ DIQAMATIC C U OFFICERS A TRIBUTE To Miss Esther Phares, senior ALBERT LEE dramatic director, we wish to pay a tribute, This lovable tea- Presldent cher, possessing a charming per- sonality, twinkling eyes, and a winning smile, makes the per- MURIEL MCILVVRAITH sons who know her proud to ViCe-P1-egident claim her as their associate. For many weeks she worked untir- ingly to make 'Skiddingu the MARIEE LOUISE EVANS success it was and we wish to take this opportunity to exprcss SCC'-'etafy-Treasurer our sincere appreciation. ESTHER PHARES Director XVith a new program in view, the senior dramatic club met in October to elect Albert Lee, president, Muriel Mellwraith, vice- president, and Mariee Louise Evans, secretary-treasurer, for the coming season. The club was divided into groups of twelve which met separately on one day of the week, and collectively on Mondays. Each section chose a student director to cast and direct a one-act play. The two best plays selected were, His First Date and VVhat a l'redica- ment, both given in the assembly. In His First Date, Don Step- hens, who took the part of Eddie Elton, had a difficult time with his first date and his trousers, which he never could find when his older brother, -lohnls girl friend, Mary Belle Sturgis, played by Mary .-Xlice Ferrier, and the cleaner's daughter Katy Satori, enacted by l'hillis Sampson, walk unsuspectingly into the room. Eddie , by this time, is cowering behind the davenport. Marjorie Hughes took the part of Eddiels little sister. This play was ably directed by .Xudrey Uudgeon. Under the skilful supervision of ,leanne Swanson, XYhat a l'redicament, was also thoroughly enjoyed by Xvest High students. 'llhe characters were: Betty Harding, Mary Lou Cooper, Teddy Harding, Roy 'llhommassong Mrs Harding, Shirley Hubbard: Johnny Drake, Rob Rergeson. This skit dealt with a situation brought on when Johnny Drake's wedding suit was lost on the way from the tailors, and ll-etty's brother Teddy, nearly had to loan his to blohnny. Teddy had the last laugh when the wedding was called ofl', br-- cause the minister slipped on a piece of soap while taking a bath. CLASS DLA Skidding,'J a three-act comedy written by ilurania Rouyerol and directed by Miss Esther lthares, was presented by the senior dramatists on May 13 and 14 before a capacity audience. The story was about the Hardy family, living in Idaho. It show- ed Marion Hardy, home from college, successfully played by Mary Lou Cooper, who fell in lore with Vylayne Trenton IH, played by Robert Koyl. Bob was well chosen for his part, playing a good lead opposite Mary Lou. The mother's part was superbly played by Ruth lfsser, so upset at the modern tendencies of her daughters that she went on a strike in order to straighten out her family. Besides Marion, she had two other daughters, Estelle and Myra, enacted by Shirley Hubbard and Mariee Louise Evans respectively, these two girls doing a fine job with the sisters, roles. .Xuclrey Dudgeon played the part of .Xunt Milly, an attractive school teacher, always ready to give advice to those desiring it. Xudrey as a typical aunt was a great success in the production. Donald Stephens played the role of Andy, a sixteen year old lad with his first case'l who kept the audience rollicking with laughter throughout the entire production. The father, a judge, was enacted by jim Callmer who was run- ning for the re-nomination, -lim made a great hit with his part. VValter .Xnderson donned white wig and false whiskers to play the part of Grandpa Hardy and well did he play it. Stubbins, a politician, was successfully portrayed by 'Ioseph Cosentino. l'hillis Sampson acted in the capacity of production manager, and Albert Lee was chosen as student director. Humor blended with pathos and deliciously garnished philoso- phy made Skiddingl' the hit that it was. UNIUIQ DIQAMA C ASS DIA For the first time in more than a decade, the junior class, under the direction of Miss Margaret Esser, undertook to produce Allen Langdon Martin's comedy drama masterpiece, Smilin' Throughf' The cast follows: Mary Clare, Mary Hanchette, john Carteret, lmas Rice, Dr. Owen Harding, Tom McEling Ellen, Mary jean Flanders: Kathleen Dungannon, Adrienne Roscoe, VVillie .-Xinley, Frank Burgess, Kenneth VVayne, Bill Murphyg jeremiah VVayne, jim Gormsong Moonyeen Clare, jo Ann Steiner, Guests at the wedding, Martha Seavey, Frances Keenan, Betty Niehuis, Mary Ellen Connery, jack Bell, and Gordon Forton. Kathleen loves Kenneth VVayne, the son of the man, jereniiah VVayne, who loved Moonyeen Clare, the girl whom he unintention- ally shot on the night of her marriage to john Carteret, Kathleen's uncle, about fifty years before. Now john hates all Wfaynes, and Kenneth is no exception. Kenneth VVayne went to the world war, leaving Kathleen, who thought he had left her behind forever. How- ever, he comes back, and due to the spirit of Moonyeen and the in- Huence of Dr. Harding, john Carteret forgives Kenneth VVayne and bestows his blessings upon the young couple. :Ns the play closes, john Carteret, who has loved his dead Moon- yeen through the years, dies in his chair in his garden, and as the moonlight glistens softly down, his soul joins Moonyeen's in paradise. Various committees took a great deal of responsibility and de- serve much praise for aiding in making the play a great success. The heads of the various committees were Frances Keenan, production manager: ticket committee, Zelda Swimmer, stage com- mittee, Betty Robinson, properties, co-chairmen Foster Stolp and Charles VVilburg chief electrician, Charles Yates: costume com- mittee, F:ill'lZl Corclesg and Marian .Xinsworth had the difficult task of prompting.

MARGARET ESSER Secretary-Treasurer Director Fifty-two junior dramatists under the direction of Miss Margaret Esser met second period every Monday, Wednesclay, and Friday, with their president, Adrienne Roscoe: vice-president, Louise Tan- ner, and secretary-treasurer, Junior Thomas. A program was pre- sented every Friday, and on Tuesday and Thursday Miss Esser instructed a group of eighteen students in special work on theatrical makeup. Never before in the history of these clubs has there been a course in makeup and the Juniors this year are glad for the oppor- tunity to learn this fascinating work. Four plays were presented for the student body during the year besides the class play Smilin' Throughf, They were, Alice's Blue Gown, with Shirley Peterson, Barbara Ruby, Mildred Neyhart, Adrienne Roscoe, Marian Ainsworth, Mary Hanchette, Colleen Hynes, and Frances Keenan taking part, 1'Wire Trouble, a one-act skit directed by a student director, Barbara Ruby, with Marv Ellen Connery and junior Thomas portraying the partsg If Thoughts Could Speak, coached by Jo Ann Steiner, with Jim Gormsen and Shirley Peterson, and the latest Thanks Awfullyf' directed by Adrienne Roscoe, starring jim Gormsen, Betty Robinson, Frances Keenan, Doris Eliason, Barbara Ruby, Shirley Dudgeon, Theresa Titchinger, Della Clayton, Colleen Hynes, Ann Katz, Jean Shearer, Betty Io Downey, Dorothy Mercer, and Helen Furnas.

NEBERGAL Adviser Urganizatiuns l STAFF The success of this annual cannot be credited to any one individual, but rather it is through the un- tiring efforts and accomplishments of the entire statt that this publication has been made possible. ,Xlthough the EOS is entirely a student publi- cation no words seem adequate to express our appreciation for the help, advice, and encourage- ment which Miss Mildred Banker gave, while Mrs. Shepard and Miss Sauer deserve credit for their supervision of the literary and art work. Early in the year the editor-inschief, .loseph Detweiler, was elected and upon his capable shoul- ders fell the opportunity to experience the laying out of a production to represent the school year l936-l937. Audrey Dudgeon was elected associate editor, and Robert Gritteth became business manager. By diligent work Robert, as Well as the sub- scription manager, Donald Stephens, and their assistants made the linancial side of the publication a success. John VVright, art editor, and his assistants de- serve praise for giving the finishing touch of visual attractiveness to the memory-book. Roy Tbomasson ably hlled the position of snap-shot editor, Typing, a task often overlooked, was a hard one and due only to the co-operation of the typists was this task finished. blames Callmer, make-up editor, may be complimented for his excellent workmanship on the make-up and lettering in the annual. By the co-operative and commendable efforts of the contributing editors and start members, the true value of this EOS can be judged. Vkfe, the statif, hope that our aim to make this memory-book, the l937 EUS, a memorable, interest- ing, and accurate account of the school year, has been fulfilled. Robert Gritifeth, diligent business manager, and Joseph Detxveiler, bard-working, capable editor, put their heads together, result-suc- cessful manairement of a new and different yearbook.

IQEID AN With Jeanne Swanson and Audrey Dudgeon, co- editors, as the stars, Miss Lena Y. Rowe, director of the bi-monthly, and a supporting cast of enthusiastic young journalists, not to mention those cofoperative back-stage workers, the printers under Mr. Leslie Gee, and the dependable typist. The Red and Blue has completed its tenth year of publication. The first important date on the calendar was October 24, 1936, when VVest Aurora as president played host to 250 cubs at the Big Seven Press Conference. The Red and Blue was fortunate in getting Professor VVilliam R. Slaughter of the Me! dill School of journalism as the main speaker. A luncheon was served at the VVesley Methodist Church where George Stephens, editor of New Equipment Digestf' lectured. Next came the N. S. P. A. High School Journal- istic Conference at Detroit, December 3-5, where The Red and Blue was represented by Miss Lena V. Rowe, instructor, Jeanne Swanson, Dora Stathis, janet Funken, and Doris Eliason. A climax of literary accomplishment was reached when The Red and Blue staff members were given the opportunity to display their talents in the Bea- con issue of May 11. On Jeanne Swanson's capable shoulders fell the editorship of this undertaking. Every bit of copy, every lead headline, advertise- ment, and cartoon was created by the young scribes. The curtain fell on thc last big event of the year, the annual Cauldron Banquet, which was held June 8, 1937. The staff entertained as guests those who had made three contributions to the Cauldron column during the year. One of the most interesting events on the program was the awarding of prizes by Leslie Barber from the Aurora Beacon-News for the three best editorials and advertisements written for the Beacon-News supplement. Shirley Uza as general chairman appointed the following chairmen for the banquet committees: Joanne Steiner, entertainmentg john Wright, pro- gram, Martha Seavey, decorations, Betty Robinson, hospitality: and john Kaser, dinner.

Shepard, faculty adviser, and able student editors, Alice jeanette Barclay, Marion Fulks, and Mary Louise Anderson, an all senior edition was published in February, displaying the creative ability and talent of the members of the class of '37. The first edition, published last year, and the third put out this spring, were supervised by a faculty advisory board consisting of Mrs. Shep- ard, Miss Lena V. Rowe, and Miss Helen VVood. New ideas in poetry, essays, and play writing were contributed by Lucia Xeuendorf, Miriam Haried, Mary :Xlice Ferrier, Robert Hewitt, Dick Reising, Bill Laz, Corrine Votteiger, Lennart Hart- man, Mary Lou Cooper, Earl Huntoon, Lenard Rucks, Donald McCune, Catherine Rice, Dora Stathis, .-Xlbert Lee, Arthur Henwood, Martha Dun- ham, john VVright, Dorothy Phillips, Barbara Bert- hold, Robert McXVethy, Yera Hendricker and an anonymous senior. john VVright is to be congratulated upon his attractive cover design while it is impossible to deny Mr, Leslie Gee and his crew of youthful printers their share of praise. The Nllest VVind is an expression of the young writers' reactions from four vears of studv and fun ::: '- ' i 'Q at XYest High. V v .,.Q '13 5. 1 - f rs L r 'F W lm-L AUDREY DUDGEON RUTH ESSSER MARY LOU COOPER President Vice-president Secretary IIQLS' Tap! Tap! The meeting of the Girls' Club was called to order by the president and started its third year of existence. The president for the lirst se- mester was Audrey Dudgeon, the vice-president, Ruth Esser, and Mary Lou Cooper, secretary- treasurer. When a girl enters high school, she automatically becomes a member of this club. It is governed by a board whose members are selected from the classes. It consists of four members from each class, two members at large, and the G. .-X. .-X. president. After the formal opening of the meeting the fun begins. The girls of the Junior Dramatic Club started this year by presenting a one act comedy called, Alice's Blue Gown. The Girls' Club took great pride in sponsoring a talk by Jill Edwards, a foremost speaker on A'Per- sonalityf' She herself was a most persuasive ex- emplihcation of her methods of developing a pleas- ing and magnetic personality. Her life has been a very fascinating and romantic one. Her childhood and youth were spent in China, where her parents were medical missionaries, and later she made three trips around the world. Another interesting talk was given by Miss Kline of the American Red Cross. She gave valuable in- formation on the vocation of nursing. At the beginning of the second semester an election of oiticers was held and Adrienne Roscoe was voted the new presidentg Barbara Ruby, vice- presidentg and Sue Simons, secretary- treasurer.

Not only are the class members entertained by Madamoiselle Raymond's interesting stories of modern France from her own visits there, but they are taught of medieval France through short plays enacted before them by some of their class- mates and stories which they read from outside books. The most popular entertainment planned is the singing. The rounds take tirst place in the students' hearts. Such ones as Frere jacques, 'tlye Coucouf' and .-Xlouelte, then Le l'ont D' Avignon and La Marseillaiseu are the favor- ities. NVhen the time fora meeting arrives, the chair- man calls roll, and everyone must say something in French. lf one doesn't respond or repeats a previous response, he must pay a sou. Lfsuallv excitement reigns supreme, as everyone is over- anxious to catch his class-mates napping. The games are played and prizes, such as candy and pencils, are given to the winners. The games are usually story telling and supplying of words to given letters. Sometimes guessing games are played, but the classes are too large to make these successful. .-Xs one meeting happened to fall on l,incoln's birthday, the students were to write a paragraph on Lincoln in French. Mademoiselle Raymond had an exceptionally hard time deciding to whom the prize would be given, but tinally decided upon june Hanson. The songs usually follow, and at the last meeting john VVright gave the classes French words to the current popular songs. He played the accompaniment to these on the piano and later entertained the group by his own selections. Katherine Gustafson, accompanied by Martha Dunham, played a violin solo. The chairmen of the club are Dora Stathis and john Xlfright, who, because of their originality, have given the members a jolly and interesting time every meeting. LYDIA RAYMOND Director MARY BRENNAN Director El Circulo Espanol QThe Spanish Clubj is made up of the members of second year Spanish classes. Senorita Mary Brennan, the Spanish instructor, has acted as faculty adviser at the meetings which have been held on the last Mon- day of each month. There are no officers, Instead, a chairman and and co-chairman have been appointed for each meeting, thereby giving more people a chance to be leaders and to be active in the club. The various chairmen of the meetings have proe vided well-selected and entertaining programs for the group. Sometimes the members have worked cross-word puzzles which were indeed puzzling because they were in Spanish. They have held spell-downs, which are always exciting and lots of fun, and have played Spanish golf and other amusing games. These various diversions have brought not only much enjoyment, but great help in extending the students' Spanish vo- cabularies. .Xt the more serious meetings the club has listened to speakers who told of the life and cus- toms in South America and Spain. One of the most interesting speakers was Tom Van Hyning, who has lived in Venezuela several years. :X number of very good movies of South America were also shown. Sometimes business firms in Aurora have sent Spanish letters they have received to the club and the students have translated them. Miss Brennan also provided Spanish magazines which were very interesting to read. One of the Hhighlightl' meetings was a public auction spoken in Spanish. Among some of the articles to be auctioned off was a typewriter and a picture of Migl' Apsit. There was quite a scramble when Mig was on the block. The dues at these meetings were only ive centsg consequently the treasury was low and the additional funds were raised in a very clever way. For every English word spoken during a meeting the offender was forced to pay a Hne of one cent. e -E 3 f 1 - , E ' at ' iris? We ' , 1 i I fr .5 ' ,. .. ..,, Y?

Another successful year for the Lettermen's Club has drawn to a close. At the annual Football Banquet the club honored the championship football team by having 'tBo Mc- Millin, lndiana football coach, as speaker. .-X dance was given in Vi-lest l'ligh's gymnasium following the dinner. ,Xs planned the club organized a cheering section at all games and had charge of athletic activities, including the Regional Basketball Tournament. VVishing to contribute to the Flood Relief Fund, the Lettermen sponsored a subscription dance following the VVest-Marmion basketball game. This was so successful that another dance was given after the lfast-XVest game. ln conclusion, the club took over the administra- tion of Track Events. ROSS M. BERGMAN Director Literature MIRIAM HARIED SHIRLEY RAY JEAN ROBISON ALICE BAHRENBURG TODAY Miriam Haried - Senior Today, new-born of yesterday, llolds forth a promise of tomorrow. In this vast Middle-VVest, Our rolling hills, And verdant prairies, The golden sands of our inland lakes, Alone remain the same. 'Tis but the ways of man that change, THE MING VASES Shirley Ray - Junior Twilight, how I love the peace of it, mused Helen Muir, as she lay utterly relaxed before a wood tire. Nothing to do for a full hour but dreamf' Hlllother. oh Mother! Helen's young high school daughter danced into the room, shattering the calm with vividness, and Hung herself down beside her mother. l'Do you know, Mums, your eyes are just the color of the family heirlooms to-night. Helen could never believe that Ianet's vitality could be a product of her own intense calm and poise. Did I ever tell you about the heirloonis, Dear 7' Only that theyire Chinese vases, Ming dynasty, and worth twenty thousand dollars. Then seeing her motherls face, she went on, Do tell me th whole story, please, Mums. HAll right, Dear, I'll start at the beginning and tell it to you just as my grandmother told it to me. 'Alt was the year 1337 and the whole town was celebrating. Uur General Iacl-ison. President jackson he had been, was coming home from VVashington to stay. I hadnlt seen him since he lost Rachel, his wife, and she was my best friend. A few of our local politicians had been in to Wstshington and said he was the same old hot-headed Andy, that he hadn't changed a mite, but, I knew better. He just couldn't be the same without Rachel, for if there ever was a case where one man depended on one woman I reckon it was Andy and Rachel jackson. 'll hadn't noticed anyone comin' before the door flew open and there stood our General jackson, his head up and his eyes a Hashin' just as they always had done. Then he was in and pattin' my hand and tellin' me I wasn't a lookin' any older than the day I married Rufus Snow forty-five years ago. That was just like him. Then he drew out a box from under his big cape coat and his eyes changed, softened and became larger, I think. Cynthy, I brought you something Rachel wanted you to have. She set an awful store by fem 'tho I never could just see why. 'l'hey're even kinda' cracked in places. I le carefully unwrapped a pair of beautiful Chinese vases and laid them in my lap. You see, he went on, a friend of hers brought them from China and Rachel was really touched by it. You know they weren't good to my girl up in VVashington and I guess 'twas the only present anyone there ever gave her. They just weren't big enough to see the greatness and goodness of my Rachelfl All the months she lay in bed, those vases set on a table beside her, She took an awful sight of comfort in 'em and one day she said. 'lake lem to Cynthy when l'm gone, Andy,--she's the only one I know whoyll love 'em as I do. USO I've kept them beside me always. Sometimes it's been hard,s our crops failed and food was scarce and we had our share of sickness. I reckon, but I couldn't part with Rachel 'lackson's vases. Ilelen Muir paused, her eyes bright with tears. 'l'hat's the story, Ilear, and somehow l've never been able to part with them either. 'Ilhey're a symbol to me too,-an exquisite something, a star to which I can pin my faith. And some day they will be yours, and youyll carry on, too, little soldier. MEMORIES Jean Robison - Sophomore Grandfatlier Caswell was sitting in his comfy old chair, 'llhe tire was crackling and the wind was howling outside. Yes, Grandfather was satisfied right now, He was waiting for his three grandchildren to come downstairs dressed in their soft white Usleepersy' to listen to him tell his often told stories of olden days. Ile really liked to have Ilill, his son, and his wife go out and leave the children with Grandmother and him. Ilown the steps toddled Iiarbara followed by quiet Marshall and mischievious Janice. After they had told him that Grandma would be down soon he started his story of one Christmas live. 'fVI'hen I was a liitle boyfl he began, I lived way out o11 a farm in Minnesota. Wle were several miles from a town, which had a total population of two hundred seventy people. Vile children-there were three of us- had to work very hard most all of the time. I was the oldest in the family and because of this, I had to do much work and had little time for play. I remember one Christmas Eve, after I had finished the chores, I came in the house very tired. Nevertheless, I kept up my spirits and waited for my father to come in with our Christ- mas box. In he came, rather late, too, as l remember. XVe children all gathered around in an excited manner each waiting his chance to re- ceive his Christmas present. Ifather put the box down. Yve looked in, I reckon none of you could guess what was in theref' K 'lectrie train im asked IX-Iarshall. No, Marsh, not in those days. You see our transportation was very slow. Trains were very few and were in there very lirst stages. .Xt that time eleetrie trains werenlt even thought of. Wfe would never have thought of riding twenty-tive miles in a half an hour as we do nowadays. 'f0ur gifts were very simple. 'Ilhere was a home-made rag doll for my sister Ann and a made over dress for her too. Ifor lirother Vvilliam there was a handeknit sweater and horn which was picked up some- place. 'llhen I found my present, the most wonderful present in the world to me. You see, I was the oldest of the family of childreng I received a gun. Of course, I was expected to use that gun to an advan- tage, If I didnlt bring home something when I went hunting with it I was told I clidn't deserve it. Nevertheless, I was proud of that gun. I tried very hard to bring home game each time I went out hunting. Mind you, though, that was the only present I receivedf' At this point Grandmother came down the steps. 'tl'a.l' said she, 'Ayou speak of your hardships but l must say my childhood days were the happiest days of my life regardless of the inconveniences of the times. I guess you're right, Ma, Grandfather said. Come, children, urged Grandmother, your grandfather will go on forever if you sit there. ltls past your bedtime dears, come alongf' Rubbing their eyes they trundled off to bed. NWe surely are lucky, said Janice. 'fjust think, Grandma, I got more than all the children in Grandpals family got just for myselffl THE MIDDLE-WEST Alice Bahrenburg - Freshman Those were the days in eighteen-six, XVhen gram' and gramp' began to fix 'l'heir wagons for migrating west, And gave the wheels their hnal test. 'l'hey filled the back with pork and hams, And grandma took her spicy jams. Bly grandpa took his gun and powder, And grandma made some good clam-chowder. 'lihey packed this food, clothes, and bedding, And then my grandpa said, VVe're heading For the land they call the lXliddle-west, And get there? VVell, we'll try our bestf' XN'hen things were ready and time for bed, My Grandma fed the oxen and said, VVe'll start right at the break of day, And maybe we ll reach lowayf' 'lihey traveled on for days and days, And soon it was the end of May. 'l'hrough storms, and heat. and dust they went, And camped at night without a tent. VVhen August came they were just a short way, lirom their destination in loway. And when they reached this sunny state, 'lihey knew they had overcome their fate. They built a cabin. and planted corn, And two years later my father was born. lle worked, and played, and went to school, And gathered nuts when it was cool, For this was the land that father blessed, That good old state in the Middle-west. ,yf - 'f'Zff7V41rp1l-':--'-'. ff-iq.-:'21-e A ,-'ff nz .wsgfny-A - - f -.,,- -' .- 4, -. fy-'Air-'A 9 3 :iw .fa , v ..,.,,, :can -emma , f 1555 I 4 5 , ,N Q.
