For many years she has worked with us, costuming our plays, directing our activities and developing our talents. Always of a sunny disposition, in spite of che amount of Work she has done, she has come to mean a great deal to all members of the school. In recognition of her long service to us and to former high school students, We express our appreciation and gratitude through this dedication of the 1938 WECOMI.

The spirit of the pioneer and the explorer who preceded him, led the staff of this 1938 Wecomi to consider taking a part in this memorable event by using this material as a theme for the book. As old maps and accounts were studied the past history of our state began to live and have meaning. We have attempted to give, through our division pages, some stages in the development of this territory which later became the state of Illinois. In the years after the Revolutionary War, a band of sol- diers obtained permission to settle and explore the far West. They ultimately obtained land grants in exchange for worth- less certificates issued by Congress. On December 3, 1787, the Ohio Company of Associates, organized by General Rufus Putnam, General S. H. Parsons, Dr. Manasseh Cutler, and others, set out from Ipswich, Massachusetts, for the far West. xxivpil Qiw- ' I 'I' M Many explorers: DeSoto, LaSalle, Marquette, Louis Joliet, and others, had explored the waterways of the West. France and England both laid claim to Illinois territory. The expe- dition of the Ohio Company of Associates led to further explorations, settlement, and expeditions against both French and English and led eventually to the settlement of the Whole Northwest Territory, as shown on the inside cover of this book, as American states. The States comprising the Northwest Territory are today some of the strongest, richest, most completely pop- ulated states of the United States. Our own state, Illinois, enjoys this distinction. In tracing the development of this state, as we have attempted to show through our division pages, we have found just cause to be proud of our stateg proud of its part in American history and proud that its past can be reviewed through the use of this theme as our share in the celebration of the 01d Northwest Territory. sf- ,J pp f 1 X i x x Contents For your convenience, the book has been divided into the following sections: FACULTYQ the SENIOR section, in which you will find the record of the Senior Classg CLASSESg the ATHLETIC section, which the above trophy symbolizesg and the SCI-IGOL LIFE section. Charley names whose untimely death during the school year shocked us all, was a student Well liked by all his associates. To those close friends Who each day came to this school with him from Warrenville, We express our sympathy. Active in community affairs, interested in the hobbies of boys, he was a typical high school student. We are sorry that his death robbed us of his friendship and comradeship. - 4 4 5 QFBGS I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1. ,ii XIVYK? x mm wry H Sumter The Senior Class takes this opportunity to express its sympathy at the loss of our good friend, Mr. Samter. We feel his loss very keenly, as does the whole school and the community. He served as adviser, friend, and teacher for many of us, upholding those ideals all true educators cherish in the leadership he provided for his pupils. -Tvfyv i -,v, v W -W -v -- f ' -11 'GY' -'K 4'- o G o 0 9 . 0 Q l o 9 'Q o 0 0 an 6 0 Q 9 o 0 Q Q o 1- ICM I ND IAN oe no go u NT RY 1 Q 5 3 'J l-U Z 4 .3 5 9 1 O 5 , .. 0 0 F af ig 0 d 0 P O -n-1 u K o 51 0 0 : Y-6 Jufl after 1672 explorers trav- ,O ,,p- , erfed the waterways of Illinois. ,lg-L sf1' A French and Englifh laid claim to 0 ' this country, later won by pio- neers for America.

W MR. COATS MR. FISCHER MRS. MCCARTY MR, PLAYER MR. HURT opml of Education always, the Board of Education, under the direction of President Coats, took an active interest in the affairs of the school and attempted to satisfy our every want. How to fulfill our needs and still stay within the boundaries of a necessarily limited budget filled many an evening's discussion, but when the smoke of battle had finally cleared away several improvements were evident. The cafeteria had become an alarmingly quiet retreat through the addition of a layer of sound-deadening material to the ceiling, and a much larger bicycle rack had been built by the Building Trades class with materials provided by the Board. Late this winter the Band appeared in resplendent new uniforms and We were much gratified to learn that the Board of Education had made these outfits possible. Last, but far from least, Mr. Coats presented Honor Pins to those worthy individuals who merited them, a job which our Board of Education takes great pleasure in accomp- lishing. Qfldminiffmfom K. K.

ED TWEEDIE President The eniar Class af 1938 THE GRADUATING CLASS CF 1938 first gathered at W. c. H. s. in 1934. After old acquaintances were renewed and new friendships formed, we elected our officers. They were: Tom Lewis, president, Genevie Kelly, vice president, Robert Fischer, secretary, and Mary Rozum, treasurer. We were initiated into the social functions of the school in the fall by the sophomores. At the beginning of our sophomore year, we kept up the age-old custom and gave the newcomers a reception. This year Kenneth Nolan was chosen to lead the class with Anita Wilkins as his assistant, while Sallie Underwood kept books and Dick Byerrum handled the money. We became generally recognized in the music departments, athletic activities, and social clubs. The following year found us busy, but not too busy to very successfully present the class play, The Ghost Train, by Arnold Ridley. This hair-raising mystery was given on Friday, the 13th, but in spite of the date we certainly showed the audience some real actors and actresses. They were Bill Allmart, Lois Allen, Bob Weaver, Sal Underwood, Kate Nicholson, Norm Millett, and Bill Safford. Bill Allmart was elected to the class presidency, Louise Hoy, vice president, Roland Roos, secretary, and Laura Weiss, treas- urer. To end the year right, we gave the seniors a prom in the auditorium, which was transformed into a very modernistic setting for the dancing and entertainment. Now that we are Seniors and have completed four of the happiest years of our lives, we look back with tears in our eyes to those good times, sorrows, and responsibilities. We appreciate the efforts and pa- tience of our teachers, who have taken such pains to make us the men and women that we are today. May we always be worthy of our training. To the Juniors we say, Thank you for the most enjoyable evening of dancing and for your friendship in the past three years. For the sophomores we leave a gen- eral Good luck and happiness. Last but not least we give our sincere word to the freshmen that we wish we had known you longer. We leave Wheaton Community High School with the thought that we are proud to be a part of such a fine Alma Mater. CORNELIA DAMON Sn-regmj, Vice President It was preordained by fate That tbe class of '38 Sbould bave beauty, wit, and ebarmg But 'our teaebers in alarm Found that Fate had quite forgotten To put brains beneath our cotton, Felt we needed elevation In the realms of education. Anyway we went to sebool And what teachers we could fool Passed us. S0 we bave a date Very soon--to graduate. SAL UNDERWOOD 38.

When sophomores Carol Reiman, Kenneth Hepler, Melvin Whitaker, and Tom Leary led the class in the big social event of the year, the freshman reception. That year six boys received their major letters in football. This year has been one of further accomplishments. History was made when a girl, Esther Stevens, was chosen president with Harvey Meyers, Henrietta Dumpert, and Keith Clark as the other officers. The juniors became big brothers and sisters to those in the freshman class. They were very much honored by having one of their members, Carol Reiman, selected as president of the Student Conference and Charlotte Baker chosen as president of the G. R. in 1939.

Marian Paley, Betty Stafford, Helen Townsend, and Virginia Youle were also on the semester honor roll. Several of the boys were very active on the football and basketball teams, and many activities pins were awarded to those who participated in extra curricular events. The juniors showed their dramatic ability in a very successful matinee and evening performance of XVings of the Morning. Since the junior hop was in October, the theme was Halloween. Some very novel ways of advertising were used to induce us to attend. Free refreshments were served. The guest of honor was a fortune teller who turned out to be Miss Felgar. As a crowning event of the school year an elaborate prom was given in honor of the seniors. Bark Row-March, McFarland, Smith, Soukup, Phillips, Rhodes, Susarrey, LaCliance. Middle Row-R.

To lead them through the first year Milburn Wade was chosen as president with Henrietta Watts, Betty Donnon, and Richard Reeder to aid him. This year the officers elected are Robert Loveless, Marie Herran, Robert Bartlett, and Teddy Dexter. This year it was their turn to entertain the freshmen at a reception. The gym was decorated with circles and stars of every color and size, and balloons. The main attrac- tion of the evening was Professor Quiz QRichard Reederj who tested the knowledge of the freshies. That famous quartet, Bill Safford, Bob Standley, Roland Wicke, and Lyman Anson, filled in the rest of the program with their music.

The sophs took advantage of the current fad for the Big Apple by advertising their hop as such. Their favorite way of advertising was a box resembling a jack-in-the-box. Prizes were also offered for the largest hairbow, most cultured mustache, and the most dangerous eyes. Seven members: Robert Barton, Margaret Beck, Richard Reeder, Betsy Ross, Mary June Sauer, Delores Ulrich, and Carolyn Wolfe received silver honor pins for having been on the honor roll for three semesters. Lorraine DeRoo, llse Karner, and Dale McQuiston were on the semester honor roll. Several members were active on the lightweight and heavyweight football teams and also in basketball. All are now looking forward to the thrills of being juniors. entered school to find, oddly enough, that the seniors were actually envious of their position and wished to exchange classes with them. After Marion Hale, Don Gibney, Nennette Herran, and Bernice Carlson were elected as oflicers, the student conference, feeling sorry since the freshies were exceptionally green, decided to give them big brothers and sisters to help them get acquainted with the school. Since this was the largest freshman class this school has ever seen, they at least com- manded attention by their large numbers. Because of this it was necessary to change the school schedule and give the freshmen a lunch period and an assembly of their own. They were second only to the seniors in the number represented on the honor roll. CUPPER PICTURE, Back Row-Balser, Difazzio, Denson, Breckman, Darst, Dickelman, P. Dieter, Chesbro, Divelbiss, K.

Freshman girls gave a Thanksgiving play, The Waif, in G. R. Their folk dance presented in assembly will always be a humorous memory. Eight girls also danced a very pretty Mexican dance as the freshman stunt at the G. R. birthday party. The freshman boys played a very active part on both the football and basketball teams. At their hop, doughnuts and cider were served. Mr. Sweat, Joan Davis, and Bernice Matula presented a very entertaining program. Much will be expected of this class in the future. Bark Row-G.

In this course the boys take mechanical drawing and shop, automobiles and gasoline engines are also studied. Everything having to do with housing, varying from electrical wiring to applying siding, is learned. These boys have been responsible for much of the fine work done around school. Some examples are the broadcasting booth and the cement bicycle platform. for girls are: Seniors, Miss Edith McCormickg Juniors, Miss Jennie B. Miner, Sophomores, Miss Harriet Yinglingg and Freshmen, Miss Elizabeth Husted. These teachers give the girls advice on their school Work and other problems. A This year the alcove in the cooking room was partitioned off into a separate room to serve as a meeting place for the girls and their counselors and also as a room for the nurse. The girls are grateful for having such expert advisers. i Miss Husted, Miner, McCormick, Yingling. Q K xi ,Q 6:0 -' Z-'-x ?

For the first time in many years the heavy- weights came home with the Little Seven Conference Championship. Under the splendid leadership of Coach Horsley and Captain Guild, the team outplayed every team that they met on the gridiron. There were really no outstanding players, but the team as a whole cooperated like a mighty clock. Every player knew what he was supposed Lo do and each did it. When eleven men get together and play like this, a Win- ning team must result. In the early part of. the season, the team took a tough set-back by losing to Glenbard by a score of 12 to 0, but this did not seem to upset the team for they came back and won all of their conference games. Only a Wheaton team could show the fight and sportsmanship that the 1937 team did. 'THEfUJNE'LHEYfDHDITHTO 5399,-as ,,,,::2 H475 5.

Burghardt, Coach Horsley. had a rather tough season this year, winning only nine games out of twenty-two games played. This was not entirely the fault of the team, nor the coach either. Everyone knows that a short- statured basketball team no matter how good it is, will have a very hard time standing up against a team taller than they are. This was just exactly what Coach Horsley's cagemen were up against this year. The team was as scrappy as any team that you can find in this vicinity, but they just didn't have the height. Of course next year with all of these freshmen growing up, the first team will have a more successful year. THE VARSITY SCORES Wheaton .................. Wheaton ,,,...... ,,,...

Although the lightweight team was made up almost entirely of underclassmen, it gave an outstanding show of their ability on the bas- ketball floor. The lights were not only lighting to win the game, but they were also trying to win a berth on the A team. The B team is sort of a primary team from which the boys work to the first team. Coach Horsley spent a lot of time with these boys this year, and he hopes that they will show the results of this work next year. I Bark Row-Lederman, Gibney, Tucker, Wood, Coach Horsley.

Although lercermen were few, the team developed rapidly, and after its first meet, the team won a majority of its meets in fine shape. The boys started che season at the Naperville Field House, and then as the weather permitted they returned to the Wheaton Track.

HI-Y, sponsored by Mr. Vaughan and Mr. Ryall, has had varied pro- grams through the year. An early meeting was held last fall around a bonfire at Herrick's Lake with supper and songs. The ideals of the club-good sportsmanship, clean speech, clean scholarship, and clean living--were presented to the new boys who promised to help maintain these high standards. This service was very impressive. Programs dealt with war, peace, religion, and vocations. Among the many interesting speakers were a repre- l sentative of the Japanese Consulate in Chicago and Mr. Meyers, whose topic was crime. Some of the older boys attended a conference at Elgin, bringing back many new ideas X for the club. A points-of-interest trip to Chicago was taken and included the stock yards, Donnelly Printing Company, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the Lawson l l Y. M. C. A. N In the spring, parents were invited to the Hi-Y banquet and through it understood the organization better. The club also had a picnic and invited junior high boys as guests. Several senior farewell speeches were given and the evening ended with songs. Since the Hi-Y is registerd in the national organization, one of the boys will be chosen to attend the few days national conference at Berea, Kentucky, this summer.

It greatly encouraged talent in this line by presenting speakers on the various phases of the work and by the actual production of plays. The divisions of activities in this organization were: acting, directing, construction, lighting, costuming, makeup, and management. An attempt was made to cast each member in at least one play during the year and to place him on at least three crews. The club gave several public perform- ances and many plays were given at meetings exclusively for members only. Some of :hese plays were Riders to the Seaf' The Rornancers' and The jeweled Hand. Each play had a student director and was also directed by Mr. Peterson, sponsor of the club.

It is a member of both the Quill and Scroll and the National Scholastic Press As- sociation. Members of the staff attended several conferences, among them one held by the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University, last December. With Norm Millett as editor, assisted by Esther Stevens, and Dick Byerrum as sports editor, the Broadcast made great strides this past year. Who's Who, a popular guessing column, was continued from last year. Dabblings with its subtle, and not so sub- tle, satire became famous very quickly and many a satirized student desired to know the identity of the column's author. The Broadcast staff and the whole high school wish to express their appreciation to Mr. Smith, editor of the Wheaton Daily Journal, for making the publication of this paper possible. chief aim is to train students in public speaking and to bring current problems into discussion. The question for debate this year was: 'KResolved: That the several states should adopt a unicameral fone housej system of legislation. The debate teams consisted of: Affirmative-Sally Underwood, and Erwin Soukup, with James March, Doris Ferry and Ed Tweedie as alternates, and Negative-Betsy Storey and Kathleen Nicholson. Meetings were spent chiefly in round table discussion for the question for debate. The teams have debated with many schools, including the fol- lowing: St. Charles, Proviso, Maine, East Aurora, West Aurora, Elgin, Hinsdale, Downers Grove, and York. Tournaments held at Hinsdale and Wheaton College were attended by the teams. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Monson the club has made great forward strides.

Each girl participated in at least one activity every month. The outdoor sports were soccer in the fall, and baseball and track in the spring. Basketball and individual sports-ping pong, deck tennis, shuffle board, and tumbling-fill the winter months. Girls from Whea- ton G. A. A. attended play days at other schools in the fall and spring. Play days are somewhat like conferences, and ideas are exchanged among the clubs. To join the club girls must have one hundred points earned by hiking or participating in sports. They try to win the numerals of their graduating year by earning five hundred points and the letter I for fifteen hundred points. The officers for this club were: President, Mary K. Ryallg Vice president, Janet Wood, and Secretary-treasurer, Catherine Pearce. Miss Yingling devoted much of her spare time to the G. A. A. each year collects the inspired prose and poetry of its own members and other talented students. Requirements for membership are four articles, verse or otherwise, submitted and accepted by all the members of the club. The club is limited to ten members. Meetings were held each week at which some writing was done and a great deal of reading and discussing the results of the week's inspirations. Each year the club attempts to collect enough material to publish a book. Miss Felgar was the sponsor of the club with Tom Lewis as president and Kathleen Nicholson as vice president.

The chief purpose of this club was to develop an interest in history and bring interesting facts before the students. Last fall a Hallowe'en party, good old-fashioned style, was enjoyed by the members. The American Indian was one project of the year, and many drawings and models of his life were made. The club attempted to write and produce skits with as much historic knowledge in them as possible. One meeting became a Professor Quiz hour with questions concerning current events, World, American, and Ancient History. The prizes were old and foreign coins. This spring a very in- teresting debate on the Chino-Japanese situation was held. The club was well-sponsored by Mr. Vaughn, and the officers were: President, Harvey Meyers, Vice president, Bob Schiebelg Secretary, Doris Streit- berger, and Treasurer, Bruce Smith. is the advertising unit of Wheaton Community High School. It pays to advertise was its motto and source of its name. The club was open to upper class students who showed particular interest in advertising work, but was kept small by popular vote of the members. All adver- tising of athletic, dramatic, musical, and social activities sponsored by school organizations was taken care of by the Ipta Club. There were three main divisions of the club and a chairman for each division. These were: tickets, Ruth Sprowl, signs, Roland Wickeg and posters, the whole club. Mr. Sandholm successfully sponsored the organization and it was headed by the following officers: President, Bob Standleyg Vice president, Bill Saffordg and Secretary-treasurer, Bill Dinan.

It was called upon several times this year to render musical numbers on programs in school and for other groups. A number of the older girls gave a musical play, Friendship,' for the Girl Reserve Mothers' Tea. The glee club was so large that it was necessary for it to be divided into two sections. The ofiicers of the underelass group were: President, Peggy Straw, Vice president, Virginia Tucker, Secretary, Elaine Carson, and Librarian, Virginia Sauer. For the upper class club there were: President, Mildred Asp, Vice president, Miriam Best, Secretary, Doris Ferry, and Librarian, Jane Wilder. Second semester the u cappella choir was organized. This group consisted of upper class girls who were particularly talented in singing. It became a very accomplished group although it practiced but twice a week. Several numbers were given on various programs by this group. Both the glee club and the a cappella choir were directed by Miss Dirks, who has been so patient in fur- thering music in the Wheaton schools. although small, was a very talented group. The activities of this organization were much the same as those of the Girls' Glee Club. It appeared in the Christmas pageant, an assembly program, the annual spring concert, and the annual fair. Miss Dirks also directed this group very capably, and was assisted by the following officers: President, Dick Byerrumg Vice president, Bill Crouch, Secretary, Bill Saffordg and Librarian, Carl Vining. was divided into two sections this year, the Junior and Senior divisions. The purpose of the Junior club was to acquaint the student with France and French living. First year students composed this organization. The programs dealt with French music, literature, edu- cation, customs, and the country. Games played at the meetings afforded the use of the language in con- versation. Marigail Stott, vice president of the senior French club, led the junior division with Joyce Tucker as secretary. As its project the Senior French Club took the study and presentation of French plays. The first one, Adieu, Pere Fouettard, was given on the Christmas program. It was entirely in French and took a great deal of work on the part of all who were in it. Members of both divisions of the French Club corres- pond with French boys and girls. The oflicers were: President, Enid Straffordg Vice president, Marigail Stott, Secretary, Virginia Tucker, and Treasurer, Wallace Binder. The club was enthusiastically sponsored by Miss Maranville. was divided into several units this year so that each student could do work best suited to his ability. The units were: leather craft, modeling, sketching, oil painting, chalk talking, and marionettes. Several interesting programs were enjoyed by members of the club, including chalk talks by the stu- dents, demonstrations in oil, special work in monograms, and, most interesting of all, a talk by Miss Mabel Blair, an artist graduate of W. C. H. S., on How to Become a Commercial Artistf, The club sponsored the Colonial Arti' exhibit and was able to buy one large picture, Spring Landscape, by Dorn and a num- ber of smaller pictures to be hung in the library. The most interesting event sponsored by the club was the 'Kportrait sketch of Mr. Tibbetts, made by Mr. Frederick Mizen, a popular commercial artist in Chi- cago. Miss Houts sponsored this club with the following officers: President, Carolyn March, Vice presi- dent, Janet LaSalle, and Secretary-treasurer, Richard Roach.

The food, dress, customs, and enter- tainment were all Roman, and for one night the famous empire again lived in all its glory. At one meet- ing Miss Fenton, teacher of Latin at Wheaton College Academy, spoke to the club on her trip to Italy and showed some pictures of Rome. A Valentine party was given and valentines written in Latin were exchanged. The club also sponsored a classical contest conducted by the Chicago Classical Club and Illi- nois Teachers, in which two members from each year of Latin classes entered. The organization was led by Miss Chiles as advisor and the following officers: President, Bruce Smith, Vice president, Mary Rozum, and Secretary-treasurer, Betty Donnan. added to its membership those who presented projects and had them accepted. The purpose of the club is to provide outside activities for the scientific course. There were four divisions of the club and a chairman for each. Those divisions and their chairmen were: Model -Carl Vining, Camera--Norm Millett, Radio-Alfred Dwyer, and Stamp-Harvey Meyers. The meet- ings for the divisions were held separately with occasional combined meetings for things of interest to all. The club took several trips including one to the W. M. A. transmitter at Cloverdale. At open house the Science Club exhibited the projects to interested friends and parents of the members. The officers of this club were: President, Bob Fischer, Vice president, Bob Millar, and Secretary-treasurer, Bruce Smith. Mr. Burger, Mr. Roberts, and Mr. Bussart sponsored this organization.

The Wheaton Women's Club also enjoyed several selections at a meeting last fall. The juniors were assisted by the orchestra in the production of their class play, Wings of the Morning. The orchestra played several selections in the annual spring concert and was heard again at the W. C. H. S. fair. Several members of the orchestra competed in a state musical contest and one was honored with the invitation to play in a national orchestra. has definitely gone 'lniftyn with their new uniforms. The black trousers with' orange stripes up the sides, the black coats with all the trimmings, and snappy caps certainly made their appearance equal to their wonderful music. The drum major was all in white with a tall furry cap. The board of education was very generous in helping to pay for the uniforms and to raise further funds the exciting Champaign-Wheaton basketball game was sponsored by the band. Several concerts were well re- ceived during the year with especially talented members of the band playing solos. One very popular group is the brass quartet, consisting of Bill Crouch, Norm Millett, Bob Loveless, and Kenneth Hepler. Mr. Boyden and his assistant, Mr. Sehoonover, very ably directed the band.

I r Ss' X WINGS OF THE MORNINGB On the fourth of March the junior class presented the long awaited production directed by Mr. Peterson, our speech instructor, and assisted by Muriel Leadbetter. The juniors enacted a mystery-comedy entitled Wings of the Morning, written by Charles Quimby Burdette. The plot centered around an eccentric old man, Master Geoffrey, who had built his mysterious home on a mine shaft located in an isolated region. To this weird place Master Geoffrey invited prominent business people in order that he might make them forget their selfishness and troubles. The cast was as follows: Joyce Calvert fCarol Reimanj , a successful business woman, Loa QMary LaSallej, Miss Calvert's maidg Adrian Powell QHarvey Meyersj, a poet, David Banning QTom Learyj, a surgeon, Geoffrey's emissary QFred Migninjg Mrs. Ellis QPhyllis Gliddenj, an elderly woman and her companion, Trudy QBarbara Beards- leyj 5 matron of the old ladies' home QCharlotte Bakerj g a student nurse fPatricia lrvinej g Tonio Di Silvistri Uames Marchjg Benedetta CGerry Dreisj, Silvistri's daughter, Car- lotta Uulianna Neuj, Silvistri's wife, Master Geoffrey fErwin Soukupjg Ellen Geoffrey fMary Louise Longjg and an aviator played by Robert Tucker. The three scenes of the first act were cleverly presented by merely changing the course of the spotlights. The remaining scenes took place in the council room of Master Geoffrey's home. The creators of the most attractive scenery were: Earl Almdale, George Burghardt, Bill Burghardt, Paul Dieter, Rudolph Fielitz, Lawrence Kammes, William Laechelt, Rob- ert Liles, Don McAleese, Ralph Nickerson, Gordon Stevens, Jay Stream, and George Schwickrath. Members of the stage crew, under the direction of Mr. Monson, were: George Brink- man, Roy Clansky, John D'Orio, William McKee, Robert Phillips, and William Rauten- bush. Properties were in charge of Dora Cox, Dorothy Krueger, Alfred Hoy, Richard Roach, Dorothy Wenzel, and Betty Jones. Miss Dirks directed the orchestra which played between acts. Our art supervisor, Miss Houts, was assisted by Dorothy Eylar, Geraldine Noble, and David Dresser, and the makeup crew consisted of Cornelia Van Apeldoorn, Marion Haase, Ruth Eylar, and Bernice Joe. a-:X We Y sg 'Q i The girl of many years ago in her full skirts and charm- ing sunbonnet was prim and proper in every one of her actions.
