'fiwfgw 'xwfff W P' ,..h Q MAN UF THE YEAR- Without a doubt, one of the most active and interesting men in XVheaton Community High School this past year was Mr. J. Everett Bussart. In reviewing his influence and popularity the members of this Wecomi Staff had little trouble in choosing him as the MAN OF THE YEAR. Born July 9, 1903 and reared on a farm near Paris, Illinois, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ora Bussart received his first education in a one-room country school. He drove a horse and buggy six miles to Paris high school each day of his high school career. Receiving his B.S. at Illinois in 1925, he took a job in the research laboratories of the State Depart- ment of Agriculture. Later he was promoted to nursery inspector, a job which he has kept every sum- mer. In September, 1926, he started teaching biology at Arthur Town- ship High School. Mr. Bussart came to W.C.H.S. in 1929 and has remained our beloved instructor ever since. He became a member of Sigma Del- ta Sigma, at Illinois University. During the summers of 1932-3-4-5 he worked off his M.S. and wrote his thesis about parasite of the cu- cumber beetle. Mr. and Mrs. Bussart own their home at 425 E. Illinois Street and are members of the St. Paul's Evan- gelical Lutheran Church of which Mr. Bussart is a councilman. Their son, Dean, is in the fourth grade at Lowell School. Although Mr. Bussart has never been in a position to attract much attention because of the nature of his work, all students who have had general science or biology un- der him have felt the keen friend- liness and deep humor which have always characterized his classes. His work as treasurer of the A.B.C. has gone almost unheeded and his genuine interest and guidance to freshmen has received little men- tion. But in consideration of his work and his interest and his friend- liness, the members of the staff of this Wecomi, representing the Se- nior Class and the school at large, are proud to be able to dedicate this volume to such a man as J. Ever- ett Bussart, the MAN OF THE YEAR. fAbove at lefty The famous Bussart smile. fLower left, Inspecting his aquarium in thc green house.

Page 41 SCIENCE CLUB This year Science Club started off with a rush and duly elected Robert Barton as president, George Bond as vice president, and Frank Pierce as secretary-treasurer. The club was then divided into two sections, the Camera Club and the Radio Club . . . Camera Club held many interesting photograph contests during the year. Their meetings consist of lectures by many prominent photographers, slide films sent to them by the East- man Kodak Company, and print criticisms. George Bond is president of this division . . . Rudolf Feilirz organized the Radio Club. In the meetings the members had D-X contests, discussions of new radio devel- opments, and the boys brought in new equipment for the club's criticism. Their adviser is Mr. Burger. CLUBS SCIENCE CLUB: Top Row: Beach, Pur- rington, Gibney, Vear, Sewell, Chaney, Shurtleff, Breckman ....

Miss Miner acts as sponsor and adviser. They have a large loom on which they do their weaving. Other articles they make are differ- ent pieces of jewelry out of silver such as rings and bracelets, also purses from beads and many leather articles. Knitting and Crocheting take up much of their time. Although the club is only in its second year, they have a merit system. For every hour of work done at school one point is given, and one half a point for every hour of work spent at home. The different awards are bronze, silver, gold pins and a gold pin with a guard. Besides their regular meetings the girls have a Pot Luck supper once a month. Jean Guild and Shirley Olsen at Work on the loom owned and operated by the Handicraft Club. HANDICRAFT CLUB! Edwards, M.

The other offi- cers are vice president, Louise Schmidt, secretary, Emily Millettg and treasurer, Doris Streitberger. The members have very diligently been mod- eling puppet heads out of clay, After the clay has hardened papier mache strips are put on. When this has fully hardened the figures are sandpapered and then painted to resemble various characters in plays. The heads are made to look very grotesque and the features are over done. One of the outstanding meetings of the year was held on Washington's Birthday. A few of the members gave different reports: comparing Napoleon and Washington, summing up the situation in France today and other inter- esting topics. Miss Houts, Mr. Tibbetts, and Mr. Roberts were guests of the club. The sponsor of the club is Miss Maranville.

Q LATIN CLUB This year the Latin Club elected Elaine Carson as first Council, Alberta Johnson as second Council, and Natalie Sweeney as Quaestor. The object of the club is to give the members a background of Roman life and cul- ture. In the meetings they have different reports on such subjects as the school training of the boys and girls and comparing Caesar with Mussolini. They also enjoy Latin spelldowns and Roman games. The main event of the year is the Roman Banquet which takes place near the Ides of March. Everyone comes dressed in a toga, for they do as the Romans did. There is entertainment in between the courses and also after the meal. Miss Chiles, the Latin teacher, is the adviser for the club. GIRL Rfsfnvrs C The House of Dreams has been the theme for the year on which to base the programs. The foundation of the house was the Recognition Service in which the Freshmen and the new students were made members. There have been many outside activities, among them were the Freshman Heart Party, the Father-Daughter Coffee, the Mother-Daughter Te'a, and the Bake Sale. Each year the G. R. helps with the Christmas party for the children. Other projects are baskets for the poor at Thanksgiving and gifts for the children out at Prince Crossing. The ofhcers of the club are Betty Donnan, president, Gwyneth Meyer, vice president, Dolores Uhlrich, secretary, and Betsy Ross, treasurer. Miss Husted and Miss McCormick are the advisers. There is also a cabinet to assist the other oflicers. CLUBS BACK ROW-Prouty, L.

To create and maintain a high standard of Christian living in the community and high school, is their motto. These boys of the Hi-Y must show good sportsmanship, use clean speech, have clean scholarship, a clean mind, and live a clean life. The oflicers of the club in the last year have been president, Hugh Coats, who left school to attend another in Wisconsin, thus automatically making vice president, Richard Reeder, the president, Warren North replaced Reeder as vice president, secretary, Dave Northrop, treasurer, Kenneth Witt, sergeants-at-arms, Robert Loveless and Walter Sauer.

HI-Y The programs of the Hi-Y have been varying in style. They dealt mainly with youth, war, peace, religion, vocations, and home life. There were panel discussions, movie reels, and speakers to entertain the boys. The most outstanding event of the year was the conference held in Wheaton on December 2-3-4. Boys from the Northern Illinois district came to hear new ideas of youth and peace which was the theme of the conference. Dr. Paul Harris was the main speaker and many others led the informa- tive discussions. Some of those forums were how boys should act at home, attitude toward dates and girls, and foreign relationships. All Wheaton boys were invited to attend, but there were only two or three delegates from other schools. Hi-Y is a national organization with chapters all over U. S., Canada, and Mexico. BRUADCAST The W.C.H.S. Broadcast is published every Saturday in the Wheaton Daily Journal. Lyman Anson, editor, and Dolores Belmont and Mary Jane Schutt, assistant editors, are advised by Miss Montgomery, the school librarian. The Broadcast attempts each week to print important club news, a sports column, and other important happenings around school during the week. There are two features which are always present in the Broadcast, one is the editorial, and the other is I-Iere's Who in High School. The editorial is written by almost any one of the feature writers on an important event that happens in school or is to happen soon. The Here,s Who column describes a boy and a girl in school, and the pupils are to try to name the two before the next edition, when Miss XU and l'Mr. X are named. CLUBS BACK ROW-D.

Under the editorship of Bob Barton, we, the staff, have endeavored to attain this goal and to put forth a book of which you may be proud. Elaine Gustavson, business manager, and her assistants, Richard Carlson and Eleanor Rhoads, have made the book a financial success through the cooperation of our Wheaton merchants and with the help from the sale of activity tickets. In order to carry out our theme, Life, to the fullest extent, George Bond, photographer, has been at every function to secure the needed pictures. Mr. Orlin Kohli has been of great assistance by taking all the class and group pictures. The literary department was under the direction of Dorothy Oakey, ably assisted by Emily Millett, Nancy Aspinwall, Jeanette Mittlehauser, and Ted Dexter. Dale McQuiston was the capable sports editor. We gratefully acknowledge the helpful criticism and suggestions of our advisers Miss McCormick, Mr. Burger, and Mr. Sandhom who have helped us over the rough places on our journalistic road. if At work on the annual, Jeanette Mittle- hauser, Ted Dexter, Nancy Aspinwall, Emily Millett, Dorothy Oakey and Bob Barton.

DEBATE CLUB The Debate Club is continuing its work this year in much the same man- ner as it did last year. Mr. Keys is still its sponsor, and the club's aim is to develop the ability to speak easily and correctly in public. This year the question for debate is 'Should the Government Take Over the Railroads?,' This question is being debated by high schools all over the country. Wheaton's debate club has a schedule for debating against neighboring schools. Four of the members gave their debate, in brief form, for school assembly this winter, with Bob Loveless and Bob Barton upholding the question against Ilse Karner and Mary Lou Sauer. The club has no officers, and its time is spent in learning the correct de- bating manner. The members are taught by Mr. Keys the correct way to speak and stand before an audience.

Q SCRIPT CLUB There are only seven members in this year's Script Club, which is the school's most exclusive organization. Bob Barton is president, and Lyman Anson is the vice president. Miss Felgar works with the club, aiding and advising them. Every year the Script Club edits a small book of the best stories, poems, and articles written by the students during the year. Some of these con- tributions are written by the club members, and many by the students in the various English classes. The book is sold to the students at cost price. To enter this exclusive organization, the aspirants must write several poems or prose articles. These are read by the members, and the best ones are chosen. The authors of the best articles are then admitted to the club. Bob Loveless, Helen Llewellyn, Winkie Stevens, and Alan Soukup were the lucky candidates this year. An B.C. The Athletic Board of Control manages the athletic activities of the school. As a rule its membership consists of five pupils selected from the three upper classes: two of whom are girls, and three boys: one boy and one girl who are not primarily interested in Athletics, the other girl is the President of G. A. A., the other two boys are members of teams or particularly interested in athletics. There are two extra members this year, a boy and a girl. In addition to these seven, there are also the Coaches, one member of the faculty who acts as treasurer, and the Principal. This Board passes upon all expenditures, appoints captains upon the recommendation of the teams, and awards all letters and numerals, and generally supervises athletic equipment. The pupil membership is deter- mined by appointment of the Principal. K0 ,QM g ciuss ,fl WV BACK ROW-Bidgood r. Horsley, Co leyg MIDDLE R Mr. Colin, .

They will exhibit their talent at North Central College, Naperville.

After completing one year of lightweight football, Bob played three years on the varsity. Mr. Horsley has completed his fourth year of coaching at Wheaton. During this time his teams have Page 5 2 come to be feared by opponents due to two championship teams and two teams which finished near the top. Hinsdale - - 0 Wheaton - 6 The Tigers opened the season against Hins- dale on Grange Field with a 6-0 victory. Fumbles were numerous and the heat slowed down the game considerably. With less than a minute to go in the first quarter, Whit- aker took a pass from Yarbrough and crossed for the only score of the game. Captain Bidgoodis plunge for a seventh point was nullified by an oifside. West Chicago - - 0 Wheaton - - 7 The Tigers drove to. their first conference victory by taking West Chicago on Grange Field by a 7-0 count. Piling up 15 first downs to 3 for the Wildcats, the Tigers were set back by goal line stands until late in the fourth quarter when Red Gary broke loose for a 34 yard run. Whitaker then took a pass for the only touchdown. The team showed a great deal of improvement over the first two games. Yarbrough sparked the Tiger attack with his brilliant plunging and passing. Glenbard - 16 Wheaton - 0 The widely advertised traditional battle between Glenbard and Wheaton ended in a 16-0 victory for the Bards. The fast charg- ng Glenbard line kept the Tigers back in their own territory most of the evening. Marshall of Glenbard accounted for both touchdowns and a conversion. On the first Glenbard play he broke loose to the Tiger six yard line and followed with a line plunge to score. A blocked Tiger punt, recovered by Bolton in the end zone gave the Bards two more points to complete the rout. Captain Bidgood was the standout for the Tigers with Yarbrough receiving favorable notice for his drives into the Bard line. Substitutions were numerous and the heat, which slowed up the game, kept the capac- ity crowd at fever pitch. JM l lfvrsqrwvp--7-Wea-f,-T aff --- --f-- -- V- ----'ua-v-vw M-1 .,..-- -.. W I, -.1-.ufrvf-5 ga., .S SYCAMORE - 0 WHEATON - 7 - 13 With Clint Yarbrough scoring 13 points behind a fast charging line and good block- ing, the Tigers took a second conference game from Sycamore by a 13-0 count. Cap- tain Bidgood's loss by injury inspired thc team to its best performance of the season during the second half. Durfee, shifted from center to tackle, gave a good account of himself. BATAVIA - - 6 WHEATON - - - 7 Wheaton barely eked out a 7-6 victory over Batavia for their third consecutive win. The Wheaton score came on the final play of the third quarter when Yarbrough tossed a pass to Durant. Yarbrough scored the extra point on a pass from Wilbur Noble. The Batavia tally also resulted from a pass. The receiver ran 33 yards through the en- tire Wheaton eleven, but Batavia failed to score the extra point. ST. CHARLES - - 0 WHEATON - - - 13 Friday the 13th held no scare for the Tigers as they romped over the Saints for their eighteenth consecutive conference vic- tory. Whitaker scored on a pass and Durant converted the extra point on an end run. Yarbrough scored the second touchdown on a line plunge. Both scores came in the sec- ond quarter. The highlight of the game was the superb running of Durant. DUNDEE - - 20 WHEATON - - - 0 Wheaton was dropped from the Little Seven lead when Dundee defeated them 20-0. Massier and Shult scored the points for Dun- dee. The Tigers held the Cardinals score- less for the first period, but early in the second quarter, Massier scored on a double reverse play. The Cardinals rolled up the largest score on the Tigers in over two years. GENEVA - - 19 WHEATON - - - 14 Geneva was victorious over Wheaton when they converted the three Tiger mistakes in- to scores. Geneva's first two scores came in the first six minutes. The Tigers came right back at Geneva and scored two touchdowns before Geneva went over for the third tally in the fourth quarter to win the game. Pearce played the best game he had played for Wheaton. Head Coach Horsley and Assistant Coach Colin caught in a happy mood. Yarbrough makes a short gain in the Batavia game which Wheaton Won 7-0. Naperville - 2 3 Wheaton ---- 0 The Naperville Redskins, co-champions of the Little Seven, defeated the Wheaton Tigers by a score of 23-0 on the North Central field. Naperville controlled the ball for the majority of the game with Deodiuc making two of the three touchdowns and Albrecht the third. Three conversions and a safety, scored when Albrecht blocked one of Durant's punts, completed the score. x Page 53 I sig V '11 ..,. :IM f-X. Y, SENIUR LETTERMEN LETTERMEN R. Bidgood Qcapt.J C.

Bob was the lightest man on the heavyweights yet he was the hardest tackler on the entire team. He played lightweight football in his sophomore year but sustained an injury to his leg that made it impossible for him to play last year. This was his first year on the varsity. fUpper rightj Walter Sauer-tackle. Wal- ly was the largest man on the team this year and one of the toughest. He was one of the best players in the line even though he has only played football for two years. Walt did a lot to bolster up the hopes of the team when they were at the lowest ebb. fLower leftj Dale McQuiston-running guard. Butterball has played four years of football, two years on the lightweights and two on the heavies. He played center on the lights until he broke his hand and was shifted to guard where he has played SIHCE. CLower rightj Judd Vear-midget guard. Judd played lightweights in his freshman and junior years at center. This year on the heavies he was shifted to guard where he was a standout in the line in spite of his size.

This year the Wheaton Lightweights had their best season since 1936. They won three games, lost four, and tied one. The lights dropped their first game to Hins- dale 18-0 in spite of the fact that they played the Imps on even terms during the second half. The Generalship of Little Jimmy Gunderson was especially outstand- ing. The Ponies played their poorest game of the season against Glenbard, losing 14-0. Most of the gains for Wheaton came via the air as the underclassmen completed three out of four passes. Junior Lyda was the back- bone of the line. When the heavies played the next two games against West Chicago and Sycamore, the Ponies chose up teams and had games between themselves as the visitors had no lightweight teams. The Batavia game was the standout of the season for the Tiger Ponies as it broke their losing streak of 21 straight defeats. The Final count in the 20-0 score came when Godfrey intercepted a Batavia pass in the fourth quarter and ran 80 yards to score. The Ponies took their second conference vic- tory of the season against St. Charles, 6-0, and lost the next game as Dundee rolled up a 26-0 score, for the Cardunal Ponies' 18th straight conference victory. Fumbling was frequent in both games. Wheaton and Geneva played each other to a 0-0 standstill. Jack Schatz made an 80 yard goal-line dash on the first play of the game but the score was nullified because he stepped out-of-bounds near mid-field. le ri' . P' s . ..e9QK!,?fTZii'i TWFIRHTQ 4 Wheaton copped its third victory of the season as it defeated Marmion 14-6 in a non-conference game. The Frosh-Sophs rolled up 13 first downs to two for Mar- mion. The Ponies lost their last game of the sea- son to Naperville, 13-0. The Tiger Juniors were out-played throughout the game and were unable to start any sort of an attack. This defeat dropped the Lights to third place in the conference which is the highest that they have been for several years. Mr. Olsbo, the new math teacher, coached the lightweights this year. ALL-STARS Bob Bidgood was the stand-out for the Tigers this season. In spite of the fact that he was out for several games with a bad knee, he was chosen as the best center in the Little Seven Conference. Bob was also picked for the third All-Chicago District team and Honorable Mention on the All-State squad. Chuck QBeansJ Chesbro at left end and Clint Yarbrough at quarterback received second team ratings in the conference. Bob fRieeJ Whitaker and Phil fDutchJ Durant were chosen for Honorable Mention honors at end and halfback respectively. On the lightweights, Alan Carpenter rated the All-Conference tackle position. Evan McCallum was chosen as left halfback on the second conference team and John Hodges and Junior Lyda received Honorable Mention ratings at end and guard respec- tively.

The lightweights also had a very successful season, los- ing-'fiten games and winning eight. At the first of the season, it looked as if the lights would have a poor average. Wheaton failed to score a single point in the Glenbard game but the next week was much better as the lights lost to Mooseheart by only two points. The Ponies really showed their mettle as they poured in baskets against East Aurora to win, and as they held the touted Dundee lightweights to a five point lead. West Chicago was an easy victory, but St. Charles and Batavia were tough battles. Naperville won its first game against the Tiger juniors, but Wheat- on swept Sycamore and Geneva off their feet. In the return battles, Wheaton lost to Dundee but only al- lowed West Chicago four points-all of them on free throws. St. Charles then turned the tables and nosed out the Tigers by two points. Wheaton again shot its way to victory against Batavia but lost to Naperville. Glen- bard, Sycamore, and Geneva all closed out Wheaton by close scores in the three most exciting games of the season. This year the basketball squad had another team to act as a training ground for future basketball stars. This was the Freshman-Sophomore team, coached by our new coach, Mr.Olsbo. The Frosh-Soph had a large squad this year and many of the boys, who first Went out for the team, improved so much that they were placed on the regular lightweight squad. The Frosh-Soph practiced two or three nights a week and had several practice games. The only one of their games that was on the regular varsity schedule was the West Chicago game, which Wheaton won with ease.

These records are: Geneseo Relays Champs, Wheaton Relays B class champs, runner-up in the Little Seven Conference meet, and third place in the Dupage County meet.

At the beginning of the school year try-Outs are held and the lucky upperclassmen are admitted to the club. Each member is given a chance to be active in some way-acting, directing, or work- ing on a crew. They have a very interesting program for each meeting, whether an outside speaker, a demonstration of make-up or stage construction, or a play. Each year they give, for the benefit of everyone, one three-act play, and usually three one-act plays. Every promising young trouper,' says he has found a club which is entirely to his liking. JUNIOR PLAY This year the big production of the Junior Class was The Bat, a mystery play in three acts, in which fingerprints on a staircase and other important clues, lead to the discovery that the would-be detective is no other than the sought-for criminal in disguise. The story is enlivened by the superstitious imaginings of two elderly women and a bit of romance on the side. The picture below shows some of the characters and the directors in an important stage of preparation.

Under the direction of Mr. Ralph Boyden and Mr. Dale Schoonover, the band has attained top rankings. in the contests which it has entered. The band plays at all the football and basketball games and also at the pep meetings. This year at the football games the band did an interesting stunt. At the end of the first half, the field lights were extinguished. Then the players, holding flashlights, formed the initial letter of the school in the center of the field. To add to the effect, Dorma Mae Zarbock, drum major, led the band with an illuminated baton. Many of the talented players have won laurels at the district COHICSE.

The annual spring concert was the most showy affair for the orchestra, as it united with the glee club to give the people a delightful musical performance. Aside from this, the orchestra assisted the juniors in the production of their class play, The Bat.
