In genuine sincerity do we dedicate our 
annual to Mr. Sanford whose never-

ities has taught us the joys of fine 
sportsmanship and of true school spirit.

FCR6WORD 



The Class of 1933 presents this Senior 
Publication to the instructors who have 
guided us in work and play, to the 
friends who have shared our happy 
hours, and to those whom we leave 
behind — in deed, but not in thought — 
to uphold our by-gone responsibilities. 
To preserve the singular happiness of 
high school days in the hearts of our 
classmates and friends, we present this — 
our "memory book."

There Is a Tiny Postern Gate 

There is a tiny postern gate 

In the castle of every soul; 
Where, when we all have entered there, 

We reach the common goal. 

There, we'll have time to turn our gaze 

On what we've been and done 
In this old world of childhood days, 

Of moon, of stars, of sun; 
Of every kind of simple joy, 

As walking in the rain, 
As climbing some steep wooded hill 

And coming down again. 

There, we'll look back upon our lives, 

Stretched out like great highways, 
To see with bliss that widened place 

Which we call "high school days" 
Where we have known and loved and shared 

The joys of friendliness; 
Been guided in our work and play; 

Have seen much loveliness. 



We have but once to live this life 

Of earthly consequence; 
But then, when our one chance is gone, 

We'll ask no recompense 
Except to hold as memories dear 

Each crossing of our lives, 
Impressions of each kindly word, 

Love's dream that never dies. 

And if we have not reached the height 

We set out to attain, 
We'll profit by the strides we've made 

Through our material gain 
When we have reached that postern gate 

In the castle of every soul 
Where soon we all must enter in 

To reach the heavenly goal. 

— Margaret Newcomb.

Senior Class History-' 3 3 

Four years have passed since the Class of '33 entered University High School 
as timid Freshmen. During these four years, we have learned much — not only 
from our textbooks but also from our experiences. We have learned to manage, 
we have learned to co-operate, we have learned to consider others as well as 
ourselves. Some of the experiences through which we have gained this knowledge 
have been unpleasant — we do not care to look back upon them. But the joys 
we have gained from the possession of these qualities already outweigh the 
trials we have experienced in gaining them. 

During our sojourn at University High School, two major changes have 
occurred. Mr. L. W. Williams, who was our principal during our first three 
years at Uni High, left us to take up new work in the College of Education. 
He was succeeded by Mr. C. W. Sanford. We deeply regretted the departure of 
Mr. Williams, but we are glad that such a happy selection for his successor 
was made. 

The second change was the admission of seventh and eighth grade pupils — 
known to us as Sub-Freshmen. We have enjoyed having the unobtrusive Sub- 
Freshmen with us. They are such a relief after these obstreperous Freshmen and 
Sophomores. 

We, the Class of '33, have participated in many activities. Among our 
members are leaders in the Girl Reserves, the Hi-Y, the Journalism, and the 
Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs. Since our Sophomore year, our boys have formed 
the nucleus of the basketball and track teams. We have shown our prowess in 
dramatics by giving excellent performances in "Take My Advice"; the county 
contest play; in many dramatic evenings; and in the puppet shows, "Hamlet" 
and "Alice in Wonderland." We have not, however, neglected the factor of 
most importance — scholarship. All of us have tried to uphold the high 
standard of our school. 

But we must not boast of our achievements. What we have done will speak 
for itself. Let us remember that the class of 1933 is but one of a long line of 
classes in the history of this school and that each of its predecessors has con- 
tributed its share. It is safe to say that the Class of '33 has tried to further 
wholesome interests and to promote good fellowship. Its history to you is the 
impression we leave; its history to us is pleasant memories.

Class Will-1 933 

We, the remaining nitwits of the Senior Class, do hereby swear by the gates 
of Hades in the presence of the honorable Professor Sanford the remaining docu- 
ment of our last testament which was composed to the best of our meager ability 
and our enlarged knowledge of the actions, characteristics, and idiosyncrasies of 
our fellow classmates. 

Bruce Benedict hereby bequeaths his inexhaustible supply of slang to Betty 
Lohmann. Don't get too reckless, Betty. 

Georgialee Bull bestows her Greta Garbo walk to Use Aron. 

Martha Callen leaves her domineering nature to Miss Bell, a history practice 
teacher. Think you can use it, Miss Bell? 

To all effervescent Freshmen, Beth Chase leaves her sublime indifference. 
Vesper Childs wills her ability to stay out of the limelight to Paul Jones. 

Bill Davis bequeaths his would-be way with the women to Gil Wakeley. 
Wc hope you'll succeed some day, boys. 

Delbert Harms leaves his midnight escapades (well, maybe they were a wee 
bit after) to all you whose parents never fail to hear the curfew. 

Irma Cole wills her talkativeness (editor's note — Oh, Yeah!) to Florence 
Wise. 

Evelyn Cook sadly wills her vocabulary to Mr. Habberton whose pupils 
can always be sure of getting a job editing dictionaries if nothing else turns up. 

Bob DeWolf leaves his ill-founded conceit to Billy Boudreau. 

Mary Edna Colby bequeaths her love for 1916 cars (we hope you'll always 
remain the same old-fashioned girl, Mary) to Herschel Meis. 

To those chattering sophomores, Christine Brock leaves the latest gossip. 

Vivian Taylor bequeaths her even temper to Mary Card. 

Betty Friend bestows "dem dere dimples" upon Catherine Houlihan. 

Anne Mueller presents her earrings to Rex Hall. Take good care of them, 
Rex. 

Carlyn Reineberg wills her ability to skip gym to Charlotte Herman. Here's 
hoping you can get away with it better than your predecessor, Charlotte. 

Gerald Smith is willing to give his car to anyone who will be able to drive 
it when he's through. 

Gladys Stout bequeaths her coy manners to Mel Kennedy. 

Joe Wooters wills his argumentative ability (somehow he always manages 
to come out on top, too) to James Tobin. 

Everett Turner leaves his ability to kill time to our over-worked faculty. 

Dick Little wills his puny puns to Madlyn Greenwood. 

Catherine Malloy bestows her admirable independence to Kitty Stiven. 

Doris Putnam leaves her modest blushes to Ronald Stockwill. We'll make 
you modest yet, Ronald. 

Rajeane Reynolds bequeaths her ability to domineer the classrooms (would 
there were a few more like her) to Jimmy Rounds. 



Page 18 



Barbara Ruth leaves her passion for the south attic (are you sure it's the 
puppets, Bibs?) to Ellen Schnebly. 

Don Boudreau wills his theme song (Don insists it's entirely original) to 
Miss Kitchell. At last you have a prodigy in your class, Miss Kitchell. 

Charles Bidwell reluctantly bestows his "Wild Irish Rose" on Doc Beard. 

Peggy Newcomb bestows her always perfect coiffure upon Emily Ruth. ( A 
movie star yet, Emily.) 

Clarence Tarpley wills his puppets to the junk heap. Let's hope they'll take 
them. 

Rosalya Finsberg entrusts her red nail polish to Lewis Williams. 

Barbara Tuttle bestows her Dempsey punch upon Mary Ann Dorner. 

Willburt Ham wills his south campus walks to those whom spring affects. 

Alice Hamilton leaves her charming little self to Bob Humphrey. 

Dennis Houlihan leaves his fighting Irish Spirit to Roger Williams. When 
are you taking on Dempsey, Roger? 

Harry Heddins is forced to leave his Charleston passion to John Krouse. 

Van Holstlaw wills his ability to recite to Charles Zelany. You'll be a Phi 
Beta yet, Chuck. 

Ed Hughes leaves his ability as a tennis player (he actually hits the ball 
every time he tries) to Mark Fisher. 

Rolland Hyde wills his mechanical ability to Harrison Ruehe. 

Annamarie Kunz leaves her conscientiousness to the habitual skippers. 

Warren Lewis leaves his art gallery (you surely have taste, Warren) to paper 
the puppet room. 

Max Kirby wills his bookkeeping set to Edith Squires. 

Art Lewis bequeaths his ability as an orchestra director to that aspiring — 
or rather inspiring — musician, Donald Howard. 

Virginia Palfrey has consented to give her even disposition to Betty Krase. 

John Edmonds wills his perverted sense of humor to Douglas Brogden. 

Albert Stern just leaves. 

Having reached the highest position possible in a high school education, 
having shown all our dignity, charm and ability as a class, we, the Seniors, do 
sign and seal this document as our last will and testament this fifth day of June, 
one thousand nine hundred and thirty-three.

Class Prophecy-1933 

Occasion — 1933 Class Reunion 
Place — Crystal Lake Park 
Time — Early evening in 1953 

The last time we saw our famed Mr. Tarpley, he was in a padded cell with 
puppets surrounding him on all sides. Poor Clarence! 

Joe Wooters, who took over his dad's plumbing business, has just received 
a bid to install some new showers in the Uni High gym. 

Rosalya Finsberg has just signed a contract to be a featured singer in Art 
Lewis' "Royal Discords," Champaign's famous dance orchestra. 

Rajeane Reynolds is now managing "Ye Snootzy-Wootzy Tea Room" in 
Africa. It's going over big, too. 

In the new society pages, we notice that Catherine Malloy has just missed 
becoming one of New York's 400 because she was the 401 ! 

Mr. and Mrs. John Robert Edmonds (nee Mary Edna Colby) divide their 
valuable time between their palatial rowboat, "The Tub," and their hot dog 
stand. 

Richard Little, disappointed in love, has joined Frink and Horsley in their 
coffee business and drives the delivery truck. 

Miss Vivianne Taylah is now making her forty-second farewell tour. She 
plays the piano, you know. 

Our dear Gladys Stout is now an inmate of an old ladies' home. 

Everett Turner, the wizard electrician at the U. of I., has just invented a 
new way of lighting Christmas trees. And by the way, he conceived the idea 
while fixing a flat tire on his sporty Packard roadster. 

Harry Heddins is now working in a famous Champaign restaurant draining 
calories out of soup. Quite a job you've got, Harry! 

Bill Davis' latest publication, "Attempts at Making Love," is proving a 
huge success. Is he still doing it? 

Bruce Benedict is a bell boy in a snooty hotel in Yellowstone National Park. 

Carlyn Reineberg is getting along in Hollywood. She's an understudy of 
Zasu Pitts. 

Our sweet Virginia Palfrey has turned decidedly Socialist. Whatever could 
have happened? The last time we heard, she was deported from the country 
for spreading dangerous propaganda. 

Our dear Albert Stern is now testing mattresses for Sears and Roebuck. 

Jerry Smith has become a great opera singer but is also just one of those 
fellows who always grabs the stool when there's a piano to be moved. 

Doris Putnam is just a girl hobo who travels around the country and has a 
grand time. 

Max Kirby, who married Anne Mueller, has become a professional boxer. 
He gets plenty of training at home! 

Annamarie Kunz has become a leader in society circles and annually receives 
large sums of money from the leading automobile manufacturers for her testi- 
monials about their cars. 

Arthur and Warren Lewis are the chief photographers for French Art 
Studies Magazine. They retain the "Royal Discords" as a side line. 

Page 20 



Georgialee is now teaching the Sub-Freshmen at Uni High. Lucky George! 
Ed Hughes and certain of his companions are testing rumble seats. What's 
that? 

Beth Chase is now matron of an elite girls' reformatory. 

Evelyn Cook is demonstrating the latest in coiffures in a shop on Fifth 
Avenue, New York. 

Don Boudreau sells peanuts at the Olympic games every four years. 

Irma Cole now has taken the place of Clara in that famous trio — Clara, 
Lou, and Em. They decided she was better than Clara herself. 

Christine Brock is a semi-famous playwright, who writes when and where 
she feels like it. Sort of temperamental like. 

Barbara Ruth is still writing essays. Her collection contains to date 100,- 
526,633 which she vainly tries to rent out for one cent per day.

Students' Welcome-Class Night 

Tonight we are about to set our sails to embark upon a new course. Some 
will sail the treacherous sea which leads to success and fame in the business world. 
Some of us will go on with our education by entering college. Some talented 
few may enter the study of arts, music, painting, or sculpture. No matter what 
course we take, it will be new to us. 

In order to reach the starting point for this new voyage, we have safely 
navigated our four years of high school work. As Freshmen we were timid 
and inexperienced sailors, not knowing which course to take or how to go about 
reaching our destination. As Sophomores we felt very experienced and sure of 
ourselves. Many were the pranks we played on the new and unsuspecting 
Freshmen. As Juniors we had been promoted. We were then upper classmen 
and officers on the good ship "Uni High." As Seniors we were commanding 
officers, and we felt the responsibility of conducting the good ship safely into 
port. We shall long remember the joys and friendships of this four year voyage. 
The thought of our days at Uni High will always bring back cherished 
memories. 

Tonight is the last night of our careers in which we will feel free to dispense 
with the orthodoxies of conduct and literally to make fools of ourselves. We 
ask you to be lenient. Do not judge us too harshly. 

On behalf of the Senior Class, I welcome you to the twelfth annual class 
day exercises of University High School.

Welcome-Commencement 

We Seniors find it very difficult to comprehend the full meaning of tonight. 
We have attained a goal — a goal for which we have striven for four, even 
twelve, years. We have reached one of the greatest landmarks of our lives. 
Never again shall we be that part of youth which we have been. Some of our 
most precious years have slipped into the past; now we look into the future 
with expectation, hope, anticipation. As Larry put it, we are going "from 
second into high." Our high school years have been the "second" in which we 
have gained sufficient power in the form of knowledge to enable us to shift into 
college "high." 

During our four years in high school we have learned many things. We have 
attained knowledge from books, but we have learned more than that. We have 
learned to appreciate in a measure the meaning of responsibility, in that we 
have tried to pursue our studies in a satisfactory way. We realize the importance 
of co-operation with teachers and fellow-students alike. Had it not been for this 
co-operation, it would have been impossible for us to give our class plays, to 
present the puppet shows, and to publish this year's annual. We appreciate the 
necessity for honesty while at work and at play; likewise, we know quite well 
the meaning of dependability, for we have often been relied upon while working 
in the different organizations about school. We also realize the significance of 
perseverance. Many were the times when we thought that we might fail in our 
various projects, but the courage to keep at our work brought us to the desired 
accomplishment. We have learned to esteem friendship; in fact, we have made 
friends whom we hope to keep through life. We are ambitious to leave this 
school with the desire to "seek to do that which is right and noble!" 

Soon we shall obtain our diplomas, which are the material rewards for our 
efforts. We realize that had it not been for all of you — our teachers, friends, 
and parents — who have helped us willingly and devotedly along the way, we 
should not be here tonight. We wish to express our gratitude and appreciation 
for everything which you have done for us. 

At this extraordinary event in our lives, we are filled with a feeling of happi- 
ness. The presence of dear ones brings to us added felicity. We hope you will 
enjoy this occasion with us this evening. 

In behalf of the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and thirty-three I wish to 
welcome you most sincerely to our commencement, the twelfth annual Com- 
mencement of University High School.

Hatchet Oration 

Just one year ago last night, as a representative of the Class of '3 3, I 
received this little weapon, this battle-scarred instrument as a symbol of the 
power and authority of the Senior Class. Now, tonight, this hatchet must be 
handed on to the, I fear, less competent class of '34 for the coming year. 
Perhaps I shouldn't have said "less competent"; for perhaps this is jumping at 
conclusions. Allow me, however, to cite an example of the average intelligence 
of the Junior Class members. You may judge for yourselves as to their com- 
petence in seriously accepting this weapon and all its great powers. 

Not long ago, I heard Fred Tanner making a desperate attempt to make 
clear to Mr. Harnish quite everything that he knew on the subject of gravity. 
Finally he made this closing sentence to sum up his knowledge. "Gravity was 
discovered by Isaac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in the Autumn when the 
apples are falling off the trees." And so our Juniors take over the hatchet to 
wield it wisely! 

The Senior Class has had a very difficult time trying to find even one Junior 
whom they believed worthy to accept this symbolic weapon. We were all quite 
undecided until one of the class brought us a paper which was found in the 
halls of the school. It happened to be a history test paper, and upon it we found 
this very noble attempt to identify one of the Greek mythical characters. It was 
this: "Achilles was the boy whose mother dipped him in the River Stinx until 
he was intollerable." After seeing this clever answer and learning the owner of 
the paper, we had no doubt as to the Junior to call upon. Will Mel Kennedy 
please come forward? 

At this time, we, the members of the Senior Class hand the traditional 
hatchet down to the Junior Class. We are not dictating or even suggesting uses 
for this instrument. When we received the weapon, it was with definite, in fact, 
quite imperative suggestions as to its use; of course we followed these implicitly. 
For instance, we were asked to mutilate the detention hall in order to make 
things easier for the poor unfortunates within. I've wondered several times 
since then whether or not this request was made especially for those few such as 
Catherine Clifford or Barbara Tuttle or even Carlyn Reineberg. Regardless for 
whose benefit the request was made, with the hatchet in the possession of our 
class, even we, the modest Seniors, are forced to admit that the detention hall 
has disappeared from the face of the earth. Perhaps Edith Squires and Alice 
Hamilton should thank us for that also. — But, be it as it may, with no more 
cutting remarks, we hope that you may have success during your career with the 
hatchet. Sincerely, we wish you the best of luck in all of your work and with 
all your workers, and may you wield this hatchet in a true University High 
stvle; hold it high; use it wisely.

Junior Response 

During the three comparatively short years of our school lives together here 
at Uni High, the Class of '34 has never, I believe, failed to recognize your 
priority or your advantage over us vested in the experience of one more year. 
During this past year particularly, from the moment you received this time- 
honored instrument of warfare, the symbol of superiority and authority, until 
the present, when it becomes your duty to entrust it to the hands of your 
successors, we have been notably submissive, even docile in our attitude. This is 
sheer evidence, however, of our intelligence, the extent of which you Seniors 
seem so obviously to question. Behind this front, the blind, so to speak, we 
have been observing closely, taking notes, possibly criticizing in our own minds 
and formulating new plans and original ideas, or in other words, profiting from 
all your mistakes and failures as well as successes preparatory to launching a 
"new deal" for the school year of '33 and '34. 

It would be exceedingly interesting to us all if this rather mistreated little 
hatchet could make known its thoughts tonight. It would doubtless begin by 
recounting its activities within the hands of one group or another until in its 
interesting history it would reach the story of its wild time with the Class of 
'31 and then its period of semi-dormancy in the hands of the group that left us 
in '32. In considering its past year, the little hatchet would doubtlessly rub its 
hands with a certain feeling of satisfaction, as anyone would after helping 
successfully to complete a rather difficult and tedious task. Upon mention of its 
prospects for the coming year, however, I'm sure the little weapon would break 
out in a broad grin of unbounded joy and anticipation, particularly after some 
thought of the ability represented in our select group. Consider, for instance, 
our list of scholars — Charlotte, Mary Bain, Kitty, any and all of the Mar- 
garets, and a number of others, or our dramatists: Ellen. Bobby, Fred, Mar- 
garet, and Kitty. Due consideration should be given our athletes, as well, in the 
persons of Herschel, Freddie, and Paul. Even the various arts are not left 
without worthy representatives among us, — facts which all go to prove that no 
class could be better fitted for a year of more excellent, well-rounded activity and 
accomplishment than that of '34. 

You must forgive me, I fear, for letting my enthusiasm run riot, although 
it is a common fault with the whole of the Class of '34. You must admit, 
however, that we have stable grounds and reasons for such enthusiasm. 

As a last parting word in this connection, I'd like to take the opportunity, 
Bob, of speaking for the entire Junior Class in praising you Seniors for the way 
in which you have wielded this weapon during the past year of school. All 
your enthusiastic activity, your faultless co-operation, and the excellent spirit 
with which you have proceeded in every case have been a constant inspiration to 
us. Though your class may bodily pass on across the Bonie, the standard and 
quality of your whole school life at Uni High will remain here as a goal for us 
and the other succeeding classes. We all wish you the best that Mother Fortune 
has to offer in whatever the ensuing years have to unfold.

Farewell Address 

We of the Class of 1933 have at last arrived at the goal for which we have 
been striving for the past four years — years of an interesting development which 
we can never quite forget. This is our last meeting as a class. Never again shall 
we all come together as a group. Here, our work is at an end; somewhere else, 
whether in the work-a-day world or in college, it will begin again. 

With fond memories we look back upon our career here at University High 
School. Many of us coming together as strangers in our Freshman year became 
acquainted through our classroom associations and outside activities. We have 
formed contacts and friendships which are dear to us and which we shall long 
hold in our memories. We feel that our class has been particularly fortunate in 
having a membership that has co-operated and worked in harmony in all our 
school activities. Especially has this been true in our Junior and Senior years. 
We can well remember the assemblies before which we appeared; the plays and 
operettas in which we participated; the tremendous yet pleasant work connected 
with puppet shows; and the success of our all-school parties. Our Senior year, 
crowded with a great many tasks, has been crowned by the "U and I" — an 
annual which has been well worth our effort and of which we may be justly 
proud. We trust that we have in all these things set a standard which will be a 
challenge to those who follow us. To you, University High undergraduates, 
we leave our alma mater with the confidence of your ability to carry on where 
we left off. 

We have been no less fortunate in having a splendid group of teachers who 
have encouraged us, inspired us, and helped us in every way possible. It is to 
these teachers that we are indebted for our development these four years. They 
have helped relieve the monotony of our work by putting a little spice and 
variety into it. We have endeavored to receive their comments — even though 
sometimes critical — with an appreciation of their wide experience and sound 
judgment. It is with a deep sense of loss and regret that we must leave their 
wise leadership and sympathetic understanding as we bid them farewell tonight. 

Life is a tremendous adventure. This promises to be especially true for us 
because we are being ushered into a world of change and turmoil. Although we 
are only high school students, we are keenly aware that great changes are taking 
place in the political, social, and economic life of our country. None of us can 
tell for a certainty what the future holds. But danger and uncertainty awaken 
our minds and stimulate our thoughts, giving us the capacity to face problems 
with courage and intelligence. Permanence and security are likely to overwhelm 
us causing life to become stale and boresome. Change makes life an adventure 
which challenges us to our utmost ability. New and splendid adventures await 
us; we face them with eagerness and confidence. What lies ahead of us is an 
opportunity to take part in some of the great moments of history — if we have 
the imagination to see them and the courage to share them. We may not yet have 
wisdom and experience, but as youths we have vision and boldness. Therefore, 
regretfully, yet joyfully as we contemplate our future on the threshold of new 
opportunities, we, the Class of 1933, bid you — UNI HIGH — teachers and 
fellow schoolmates — FAREWELL.

Junior Class Poem 



Our class, the Class of '34, 
Abounds in talent, art, and lore. 
Each feature of society 
Is found in our variety. 



We'll not strain your credibility 
But just mention ability 
(Not confined to virility) 
Of Ellen, Marney, Mary Bain. 



Of artists we have quite a score — 
Paul Jones, Mary Ann, and many more. 
"All round" classmates we have galore — 
Louise. Fred, Moey, and James, are four. 



Mr. Harnish shocks us to death 
Or makes us dye in lab; 
But still we can him understand. 
If not our verbose, cryptic "Hab." 



In mental feats we're never lacking. 
But if our sports should e'er need backing 
We'll send the other fellow packing, 
With Eddie, Tobie — oh yes — and Mel. 



We're daring, carefree, strong, and gay, 
(Or crazy, some unjust may say.) 
At least we're not of common clay: 
You'll find we're all famous some day.

As Juniors, we, the Class of '34, lived up to the reputation which we made 
in our Freshman and Sophomore years. We showed our shrewdness and good 
judgment in our selection of class officers: Louise Varney, president; Eddie 
Burge, vice-president; James Robertson, secretary; and Fred Tanner, treasurer. 
In spite of the depression and closed banks, the candy sales, managed by Margaret 
Tobie, were very successful in luring stray pennies, nickels, and sometimes even 
dimes out of their hiding places. 

Our Class party was a very fitting prologue to the Christmas vacation. In 
February we gave our Junior Play, "Milestones," which, thanks to Miss Smith's 
fine direction and the willing co-operation of the cast and stagehands, was one 
of the finest dramatic productions ever given at Uni High. 

Now the only "Milestone" ahead of us is the Junior-Senior banquet which 
we hope to make so outstandingly successful that the Seniors will forget there 
are such things as proficiency examinations, bank moratoriums, and eighteen- 
day-diets.

Hurrah for the Class of '3 5 

They've got the biggest lot of pep 

Of any class alive. 

All other classes, no matter how they strive, 

Will all be beat, in the final heat, 

By the Class of '3 5. 

Class — Class — Class — 
They're the classiest class of all. 
They class with all the classes 
That class with any at all. 

Hurrah for their worthy leader. 

He's Phillip Faucett by name. 

For him is wished long life and health, 

And for his acting, great fame. 



Now Teter with his high finance 
Is sure a shining light. 
Vice-president, secretary. 
They're known to be all right. 

The example they have shown you, 
Look to with all your might. 
If you keep it e'er before you, 
You'll sure come out all right. 

So salute the Class, Class. Class. 
The classiest class alive. 
They're full of success and happiness 
That Class of '3 5.

Advisers .... MRS. SULLIVAN, MR. BYERLEY 



Away back "in the dear dead days beyond recall" a Freshman Class came 
into being. To the casual observer it was merely another Freshman class, such 
as the one which had come the previous year, and the year before that, and the 
year before that. It seemed to consist of the usual grinds and flunkers, studious 
scholars and plodders. But it was not just the same as any other class, for it was 
the Class of 1935! 

Then in the succeeding year, it came forth, a full blown Sophomore Class. 
It elected as its officers that intrepid leader, Phillip Faucett as president, with an 
able assistant in Nathan Filbey. Donald Smith of the fluent pen was made 
secretary, and thrifty Elmer Teter was appointed treasurer. With these peerless 
personalities in charge of the class it is inevitable that this class must rise above 
its predecessors.

This year, when first we reached this school. 

We started with a bang; 
Our merry footsteps in the halls 

Upstairs and downstairs rang. 

As President our class did then 

Don Riddell quickly make, 
And. voted second. Bob Ensign 

Did follow in his wake. 

Peg Coble then was quickly made 

Our scribbling secretary; 
Tom Shedd was asked to take the dough 

To make our party merry. 

Miss Boysen and Miss Taylor were 

Our class advisers made 
So that we'd know if in a fix, 

On whom to call for aid. 

With these to guide us we have done 

One-fourth of our time here: 
But three more times we hope that we'll 

Come back here for a year.

Squad car '36 moved out onto the educational highways. Don Riddell held 
the wheel with one hand and silenced Robert Ensign, his able assistant and 
back-seat driver, with the other. The financial troubles were left to Thomas 
Shedd who was hoping and worrying as to the effects of the possible inflation 
on our nearly empty money chest. Elinor Coble recorded our wanderings and 
sessions in a little notebook she just never could remember to bring. 

Under this management, car '36 pursued and overcame class enemies such 
as finances, orchestra, etc., which ventured in its path. 

"Calling cars '35, '34, and '33. Go to the Gymnasium for the Freshman

gave an all-school party. An orchestra, refreshments, and cards provided enter- 
tainment for all comers.

Tho' we may be below the level, 
Like little seedlings we shall sprout.

Tho' we are not too active now. 
The others don't ignore us much, 

The Seniors, Juniors, Sophs, and Fosh 
Help us with our math and such. 

So all in all we're not so bad, 

Hardworking and valiant are we. 

Striving to reach the top in time.

Secretary . JEANNE BROWNE 

Treasurer HARRISON RUEHE 

Advisers MRS. KURTZ, MR. GREGG 



The Sub-Freshman Class is a noble experiment. Only time can tell how 
successful it will be, for it is the first of the species. 

Last spring, a call was sent out for recruits from the sixth grade to come to 
take an examination to which about forty children responded. A class was to be 
formed which would take the seventh and eighth grades in one year with the 
fond hope of the "higher ups" that it would go on through high school a blazing 
success. 

Early in the school term, the class organized with Mary Ann Clark as 
President; John Dolch as Vice-President; Jeanne Brown as Secretary; and Har- 
rison Ruehe as Treasurer. Mrs. E. M. Kurtz and Mr. Gregg were elected as the 
advisers. 

One of the high-lights of the year was a Hallowe'en party given for us by 
Mrs. E. W. Lehmann at her home. The decorations, refreshments, and games 
were all in keeping with the season and were amusing and delightful. 

Just before Christmas, the girls of the class, their mothers, and the teachers 
were invited to a lovely tea given by the advanced domestic science class at the 
Pi Beta Phi sorority house. The Sub-Freshman girls then organized a Home 
Economics Club, which met the second Tuesday of each month to eat lunch in 
the domestic science kitchen with Miss Anna Belle Robinson. 

Jeanne Browne and Harrison Ruehe were elected by the class for positions 
on the student council while Dorothy Spegal and Warren Smith were chosen 
by the faculty as council members. 

John Dolch, Harrison Ruehe, Gerald Parks, and Tommy Stafford took part 
in an English play given for a P. T. A. assembly under the direction of Miss 
Rosenthall. 

The Sub-Freshmen had a very commendable basketball team which played 
every Friday afternoon at four o'clock against the Freshmen. Who won? They 
won't say.

Some Points About Pin Points 

What a lot of territory pins and their points cover! In the first place the 
point to pins is that they have points. Please get that last point correctly, gentle 
reader. All pins have points — good points and bad points. Pins have good 
points if the point of the pin is very pointed, and if it is useful. The point is 
that if a pin has a bad point, that is a bad point for the pin to have. 

The common, or straight pin, if you prefer, is very useful in its many points 
— that is, of course, its many points of usefulness. You see there is one point to 
be seen physically. Of its innumerable useful points I shall name only a few. 
It is a handy weapon to carry for protection. When your bridge partner trumps 
your ace for the third time, denounce him, as you would anyway, and give him 
the point. Give him two or more points in fact. First point out to him the bad 
points of trumping his partner's ace. Then for the second or more points jab 
him to make him remember the point of your pointed denouncement. 

Any time a fight is brought forth, get out your pin point and remember these 
points in order. First, you jab your opponent to death. Get that point straight. 
Next, if he is still alive after jabbing him to death with the pin point, you had 
better drop that point and try a more pointed procedure. Thirdly, you jab him 
a couple of times. If you can inflict a wound that he will stop to examine, there 
is your chance to run. Be sure to remember that last point, for it may be your 
salvation. 

Always hold the pin by the head. If you don't, you may get the point 
yourself. There are numberless uses for the pin. Just carry one around, and 
you will find it handy for such things as picking teeth. Other uses will pop up 
if you wait to see.

"So We Improved the Package" 

Yesterday I ordered a bottle of vinegar. What the grocer brought me was 
undoubtedly a bottle of vinegar; but unless one were to take a look at the label, 
one would take it for a very large bottle of French perfume, or a bottle of rare 
old liquor, or some fine old eighteenth century English glassware. 

I can remember when you bought vinegar in any ordinary old bottle or jug. 
You bought vinegar, and vinegar was what you got. You didn't require a bottle 
that was a work of art. But this bottle was so beautifully shaped, so handsomely 
made, and so feelingly designed, that I know I won't be able to force myself to 
throw it away. I really ought to convert it into a lamp or vase. And yet I shall, 
no doubt, buy more vinegar in time and so accumulate dozens of such bottles, 
and I can't have my house overrun with vinegar bottles. 

The advertiser who said, "We couldn't improve the product so we improved 
the package," certainly started something. Pantry shelves once filled with 
homely and utilitarian boxes and cans now look like Christmas display 
windows. 

Crackers come in boxes designed to express their individual personality. 
Olives, though they may last only an hour, come in a lasting bottle reminiscent 
of the beauty of old Spain. 

I find that I am hoarding these bottles and boxes, along with fancy wraoping 
paper, jars, tins, and string. I can't persuade myself to part with them. When I 
have a house of my own, it will be decorated in what promises to be a new period 
— modern grocery and department store. 

At the present my brightly colored ornaments attract the attention of those 
who like pretties. But those who know their groceries deduce from these orna- 
ments the facts, my dear Watson, that my family is very fond of candied ginger 
and that we also like English marmalade. 

Page 3 5 



My closet is filled with boxes. When I buy an inexpensive hat, it arrives in 
a box that is little less than a museum piece. I cherish the box and let the hat 
go the way of all felt. I have had a bargain dress delivered to me in a box which 
fairly spoke French. Its label alone is a masterpiece. Besides saving the box, I 
save the wrapping paper, hoping, some day, to find wallpaper of the same 
pattern. 

All of these artistic aids to modern trade are worth an exhibition. Aside 
from the commercial value as tricks to lure nickels from weak-minded but 
beauty-loving women, many of these containers really have solid merit. I, for 
one, would enjoy attending a salon showing all the newest in soap wrappers, 
hat boxes, mayonnaise jars, cold cream jars, tea boxes, cookie tins, bath salts 
bottles, powder boxes, candy bags, and florist boxes. Wouldn't you?

A Quoi Bon? 

What's in a name, my sweet Juliet? What's in a name? Why, a world on 
end of difference! If it once expressed the difference between a Montague and a 
Capulet for a pair of star-crossed lovers, today it separates the sheep from the 
goats. It makes rich men out of poor men and poor men out of rich men. 

When the late Mr. Wrigley started on his conquest of Europe, he found 
that he could not sell chewing gum, since an old English cookbook had pro- 
claimed his product as mouth-glue. The Europeans were suspicious until he 
imported his products as chewing sweets. Upon this change he was started on 
his millions. Similarly the inventor of the hookless fastener remained a pauper 
until his death because the name contained too many syllables. When the 
modern capitalist backer of zipper placed his product on the market, it was 
received with great popularity. Who wouldn't rather Zip than use a hookless 
fastener? And who wouldn't rather buy furniture upholstered in silk damask 
than in cotton denim, although they are one and the same thing? Again, it 
sounds much better for the radio announcer to say Electrical transcription made 
especially for broadcast purposes than This is a phonograph record. Advertis- 
ing knows well the answer to A Quoi Bon? 

Many trades have rendered themselves ridiculous by seeking too earnestly for 
an answer to this momentous question. Undertakers have become morticians, 
barbers have progressed to tonsorial artists, and a plain mechanic sometimes 
advertises as auto doctor. But the metamorphosis is never complete. The trade 
never becomes a profession. 

The love-apple even in our grandmother's day was thought to be poisonous, 
but some venturesome fellow — some Tom, Dick or Harry disappointed in love 
perhaps and nameless forevermore — tasted a love-apple and did not die. Since 
then we've all eaten tomatoes. Rarely we see a sign Pie Plant For Sale; we're 
much more likely to buy the same product as Rhubarb. 

What's in a name? No, my sweet Juliet, a rose by the name of prickle-weed 
would not, I fear, smell sweet.

Sub-Freshmen 

After months of anticipation, speculation, and disgruntlement, we have at 
last seen the Sub-Freshmen. 

Sub-Freshmen to the left of us, Sub-Freshmen to the right of us, Sub- 
Freshmen behind us, Sub-Freshmen in front of us, Sub-Freshmen under us. 
They are hanging from rafters and roosting on top of any available chairs. A 
little girl with huge brown eyes and red hair is bravely pushing her way between 
the legs of Joe Wooters. A swarm of three-footers are standing on tiptoe trying 

Page "(6 



to read the bulletin board. Miss McHarry is coming down the hall with a 
chair for them to stand upon so that they may read of the mighty Freshmen, 
Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. A howl and a shriek — I turn around 
quickly. A Sub-Freshman is lost in the office. He is scampering frantically 
between the legs of the chairs and then disappears under Mr. Sanford's desk. 

The locker room is a seething mass of Sub-Freshmen. I must have my 
public speaking book. By kicking, elbowing, and punching I finally reach my 
locker. After much effort of a similar type, I succeed in getting my locker open 
and the book out. Relieved, I slam the door shut only to hear terrible wails and 
shrieks from within the locker. Again, after a fight that would tax Jack 
Sharkey, I open the locker door. Two Sub-Freshmen bounce out. With a groan 
of despair I turn around and plow my way through. I look at my watch to find 
it is two minutes until eight. Against all rules, I begin running down the hall. 
Flop! I seem to be lying on the floor of good old Uni High. Along comes the 
reliable Miss McHarry who untwists the hair ribbons and the sashes that are 
entwined round my legs. 

Oh, these Sub-Freshmen! 

T* f* 'T* T* 

In just a few days these Sub-Freshmen will be Freshmen. They will not be 
green, frightened Freshmen; they will be confident and poised. I hope though 
that they will not change much. We have all enjoyed them immensely, and 
they have contributed as much as any other class to the success and happiness of 
this year at Uni High. 

Hurray for these Sub-Freshmen!

If I Were a Teacher 

Teachers are here; teachers are there; teachers are everywhere. Here we find 
a pretty young girl with chances for the best of everything in life, and yet she 
plans to be a teacher. The most powerful athletes end their brilliant college 
careers by teaching psychology or some similar subject. Everybody has been, is, 
or is going to be a teacher. The writer points out just one exception to the rule, 
that exception being himself. He has never been a teacher; and even though the 
will of the gods is for it, he will never be one. Still, since our imagination is 
allowed a little freedom, let us imagine the writer as a teacher, not one of the 
ordinary variety, but a teacher of teachers. Oh, it would be Heaven for him! 

He would start a morning class by giving his teacher pupils the following 
day's assignment. This, of course, would be one requiring some four or five 
hours to complete. Following the assignment, he would enjoy the rare pleasure 
of giving his pupils what often seems to be the teacher's conception of paradise, 
a ten minute quiz. This would contain all kinds of ungodly questions for which 
there would be no known answers. He would lean back in his big desk chair 
and feel a smile of satisfaction cross his face as he watched his pupils read the 
questions. As he saw their pitiful and most unhappy faces, his mere smile would 
change into a sweeping grin of genuine pleasure. 

Oh, it is certain that if the writer were but a mere teacher of teachers, he 
would be a very contented person.

Fold According to Order 

My classmates, especially you who are new among us, I beg to listen to my 
plea. Using even greater terms, I beg and beseech you "to fold according to 
order." 

Page 3 7 



I, my fellow students, have not always been a cog in the Uni High wheel. 
I, too, did not always "fold according to order." Thereby hangs my piteous 
tale. Stay! my friends. Take heed! 

A year ago I entered Uni High. School having started, theme day bounced 
as rapidly into view this year as it did last. The instructor illustrated, empha- 
sized, and warned every student "to fold according to order." But, my friends; 
I did not take heed. 

The next day all the themes except the inevitable two or three were handed 
in. Smiling with satisfaction, the instructor glanced at the brain children of 
her original students. The glance became a startled stare. Horror filled her face. 
Bitter disappointment lurked in the corners of her mouth. Then lifting her 
finger, she pointed directly at me. With accusing eyes, she poured her wrath 
upon me. I quaked with fear. Rising on trembling legs, I left the room. The 
remainder of the day was a maze of daze through which I wandered. In my 
sleep the following night, a hideous nightmare assailed me. Horrible, grinning 
sheets of theme paper correctly folded marched mournfully back and forth before 
me. "Fold according to order." Over and over again, then darkness. 

So, my fellow-sufferers, ends my tale. Folding from right to left is "folding 
according to order." I'll never be the same again. Never! Neither will you, my 
friends, unless you "fold according to order."

A Sunset Sky 



The beauty of a sunset sky 

Is unexpressible, 
For this alone would verify 

The unbelievable. 



The pink and blue and lavender 
Are blended skillfully. 

The sun is like Apollo's car 
Going down majestically. 



The workings of a mighty hand 

In beauty is denned. 
The motive one should understand 

Is Love for all mankind.

Murder on the Second Floor 

It was three minutes of two o'clock, and I was going into the English room 
with the rest of the Sub-Freshman Class. 

Suddenly Harrison yelled, "Hey, Emily, here's a friend of yours over here." 

"Help! What is it?" shrieked Emily. 

"It's a cockroach," Harrison told her. 
'Tis not. It's a cricket," I declared. 

"Well, that's black, isn't it?" I persisted. 

"No, it's brown. Anyhow, it's a cockroach!" 

Then our attention was turned to Emily, who was poking the curious bug 
with her foot. It had long, skinny legs, it was sort of a blackish brown in 
color, and it was a little more than an inch long. It crawled around on the floor 
and tried to hide under the baseboards. Finally Em poked it so hard that it 
turned over on its back and kicked its legs like a baby. I could see queer little 
bones, that looked like ribs, running across the underside of it. 

Then we started in again to argue about the ancestry of the poor insect. 

After a while John came along and said, "Hey, that's a cricket." 

"What did I tell you!" I said triumphantly. 

"Aw! you're goofy, Dolch. That's a cockroach," growled Harrison. 

Emily lifted her foot. "Is it a cricket or is it a cockroach? Because, if it's 
a cockroach, I'll step on it, and if it is a cricket, I won't!" 

"Oh, don't. Em," I cried. "It's a cricket." 

"Well, do it anyhow. I don't like crickets," said Jeanne, adding her voice to 
the noise. "They make too many squeaks in our basement." 

Em lowered her foot and went to sit down. The rest of us followed her 
example. 

But there was not to be peace long. We suddenly heard an awful squawk 
and turned around to see Warren jump up on the window-sill and start yelling. 

Then Miss Rosenthal interfered: 

"My goodness! What on earth is all this noise about back here?" she asked. 

"A cockroach," cried Harrison. 

"A cricket," I declared. 

"Well for goodness sake! Step on him, Josephine," said Miss Rosenthal. 

Josephine's foot rose and then descended with a crash. 

Pop! Everyone jumped. 

"Murder!" someone cried. 

"Help! They got me!" yelled John. 

"I thought that was a gun," exclaimed Warren. 

"What was it?" Em asked Harrison. 

"Josephine stepped on the cockroach," he answered. 

"You mean cricket! He was too big for a cockroach," I chimed in. 

"Oh yeah! I've seen 'em twice as big as that!" 

"Aw " I gave up. 

But then the bell rang. PATRICIA STONE 



At Evening 

At evening, when the sun goes down, 
When painted skies adorn the town, 
When clouds in gorgeous colors dressed, 
When birdlings settle in the nest, 
Then all the world throws off the toil 
And turns its thoughts from all turmoil. 
It bows its head and utters prayer 
To God, our Father, Redeemer, there!

Friday Afternoon In the Library 

The cool spring breezes rustle softly in the leaves outside, and the lazy 
sounds of a warm May afternoon float in the open window. The sun beats 
upon the shades to form a temperature which no Latin assignment can overcome. 
The dozen odd equations that lie checked in the book on the table seem to float 
in a dreamy, hazy space, and the other books lie in a pile that seems to disappear 
into a black abyss of nothingness. A yawn of such magnitude that the whole 
room seems to be on the verge of dropping into the monstrous cavern indicates 
that the signs of long-avoided spring fever have set in. 

The thoughts that should be tackling dates on those terrific calamities to the 
historian — Roman emperors — pass like ethereal ghosts through the walls and 
open windows to the tennis court and ball park and dwell rapturously on plans 
for the coming summer rather than on the English theme due on Monday. A 
newspaper lies on the shelf, but even the interest in Cub and Sox standings 
cannot rouse the enthusiasm to make one paralyzed limb follow another; and 
a complete ennui envelops the soul. It does no use to bring up answers for why 
one did not register for an eight o'clock study period. Even if a person wouldn't 
have anything to do then, it would be better than having it and not doing it. 
Besides, fresh air is good for one! 

An attempt to rise to the effort of work results in the name, subject, and 
number of the first problem being transferred to paper before the pencil drops 
from nerveless fingers and mind sinks into deeper reveries. 

Far away something causes a slight disturbance to be noted by the auditory 
senses, and the sleepy brain is informed that there is a noise somewhere. It is 
tabulated 'as the buzzing of a highly-ambitious fly; insensibleness is coming on 
apace when the ever alert senses note that there is an unusual disturbance. 
Sleepy eyes open enough to glance at a watch on the wrist of an outstretched 
arm, and slowly a mental calculation is made of the time registered by the hands. 
Then gradually it is driven home that the noise must have been the bell. The 
figure that could not be roused by algebra, English, history, or Latin is started 
by an electric bell on a mad rush toward the door.

Sweet Sorrow 

A smile, a kiss — 

Sweet nothings — 

But they bring bliss 

When coming first from you 

To me. 

A smile from those two 

Eyes so free, 

So blue — 

A kiss from those two 

Lips so sweet, 

So true — 

Bring unmeasured joy and sorrow 

To a sad heart 

Living apart 

In this yesterday of tomorrow.

School Books 

School books! Of all the heavy, offensive, formidable, inane, repugnant 
things, they are the worst. 

First, their prices practically blow you down when you go to buy them. 
There ought to be a law against it. As you see your allowance gradually going 
for books which you certainly don't want, you visualize yourself starving 
every noon for the next month. You wildly consult your list again to be sure 
you have to have that many and decide you just can't leave any out. Then comes 
the bright idea! Why didn't you think of that in the first place? Second hand 
books! You boldly ask about them only to be informed firmly and decisively 
that there are none left. You subside and look sad. A few minutes later you 
leave the store, stumbling under the weight of shiny, new school books. You 
discover later that these same shiny books will run all over you in the first rain. 

The next year when you come blithely back to sell these books, without a 
doubt the publishers will have changed the edition. It always seems impossible 
to get rid of a book on the subject you hated most, unless you have a young 
brother or sister to palm it off on. In that case you expect no pay for it, of 
course. 

Furthermore, school books are entirely too heavy. If the authors put less in 
them, they would be much lighter to carry; and that's just what we want — only 
we don't really want them at all! 

This is all actual proof that school books are a terrible nuisance and by all 
means should be abolished. 

Alice Hamilton 



Oh lady, don't make such a scene. 

I tell you I've been true. 
Please understand how sad I've been 

To be away from you. 

Now let me tell you of my love. 
You say that you don't care? 

say, I swear by Him above! 

Look now, you've mussed your hair. 

Come dear, we should not quarrel so soon. 
What, you're not satisfied? 

1 swear by yonder bright, full, moon 

To you I've never lied. 

Now calm yourself, my lovely rose, 

And kiss me. That's the way. 
Oh yes, to give you sweet repose 

I promise ne'er to stray. 

I really wasn't gone so long. 

You sav 'twas like an age? 
My dear, I fear you're somewhat wrong. 

Please! not another rage. 

All right then; I'm all you say. 

Whate'er you say is right. 
For pardon I can only pray: 

But now, dear girl, Good Night!

On Emptying My Wastebasket 

I can never empty my wastebasket in a hurry. Not because that is an impos- 
sible feat, but I regard it as something which requires time. 

There are certain conditions necessary for the observance of this very personal 
ceremony. I can not do it when I clean my room. That would hurry me too 
much. Also this procedure must be done in the absence of company. I should 
hate to have someone unsympathetic standing over me, watching me unfold and 
smooth each wad of paper. Too, not all moods can be adapted to this rite. I 
must be thoughtful or sad to perform it properly. I should not be doing it 
justice if I emptied my wastebasket joyously and without thought. 

So when I am alone with plenty of time, I carry my wastebasket to the 
basement with me. Seated on the bottom step of the stair, my basket between 
my knees and a large trash can before me, I begin the ceremony. Papers fly. 
Down under some of these a stamp on an envelope comes to view. There is the 
letter from a girl friend back home. Madge is now going with Tommy. He is 
taking her to a large party at the country club this week-end, and, oh, how I 
hate to miss it. I must keep that letter, for I never realized how important these 
things were. 

Farther down, a bill reminds me of a fatal shopping expedition. That was 
rather a sad affair for my allowance — one dollar and fifty cents for a trinket to 
set on my desk; one dollar for a bottle of fancy perfume. I didn't need these at 
all, — and that poor salvation army girl on the corner ringing her Christmas bell 
and stamping her feet in the cold. Well, I'll do without that blue hat I wanted. 

A memorandum for the fifteenth. Gracious, "Committee meeting at four 
o'clock," and I forgot to attend. 

Something sparkles in the bottom. A silver knife — my landlady's knife! 
I borrowed that several days ago. Nice of her not to remind me of it. I 
shouldn't be so irresponsible — it might have been a wedding present. 

After this quiet interlude, I come up a repentant sinner.

Here-There-Everywhere 

The class bell rings. Sub-Freshmen charge out of their classrooms and 
scamper down the hall. Their arms are laden with books; for, having a dreadful 
fear of tardiness, they do not dare to go to their lockers. Freshmen hurry down 
the hall, saying that the exams Mrs. Kurtz gives are too hard. Sophomores 
walk to their lockers, naivelv arguing the coming economic conference. Junior 
girls stroll down the halls, giggling and telling what Jimmy and Johnny and 
Tommy had said to them. Junior boys lunge down the stairs to see an 
exhibition of butterflies and bugs that Mr. Byerley is presenting. The Senior 
girls powder their noses and lipstick their lips, as the Freshmen and Sophomores 
look on, horrified. The Senior boys are frantically getting the assignments for 
their next classes. 

T* -T* *T* -P 

Jerry comes out of La Classe De Francais with a sweet smile for each girl he 
passes. Second floor lockers bang and crash. Louise goes here and there getting 
no place at all. Miss McHarry comes down the hall, hands full of papers and 
followed by two fond practice teachers. Ah, I knew it couldn't last. Now I am 
confronted by a being known as a salesperson. "You must buy your 'U and I' 
today." After I faithfullv promise to buy mine the next day, I am stopped 
again with the statement, "Have you bought your ticket to the puppet show next 
week-end?" 

Page 42 



There comes a sound of discussion which quickly graduates into a roar of 
confusion. I rush into the hall only to see a crowd collecting at the south stairs. 
From the nucleus of this ring of onlookers there comes flying what seems to me 
to be hair, human hair. Next, pieces of clothing come flying. The din is almost 
beyond conception. Suddenly a shoe comes flying over my head. My position 
apparently is dangerous. A second shoe comes sailing over my head. I change 
my position. Actions become more and more violent when quickly the ring of 
onlookers is pushed aside to allow Joseph Wooters, stocking-footed, to make a 
wild dash and go galloping down the hall, followed by the puffing but deter- 
mined Miss Barbara Tuttle. 

* * * * 

Mrs. Sullivan and Miss McHarry, warned by previous experiences, auto- 
matically rise and close the doors. 

* * * * 

The Public Speaking class meets my eye. John Robert is in the front of the 
room revealing to the class the art of milking a restless cow. The room is con- 
vulsed with laughter, and I find myself in the same fix. 

* * * * 

I view Miss Smith serenely sitting in the back desk while the practice 
teachers and John take the worries. She very casually looks around and smiles, 
making eyes at me as I go on. 

T* "P 2p JfC 

Across the hall, I hear Miss Rosenthal who insists that our automobiles are 
not automobiles but auto-mobles, and that we should look it up in the dict- 
shunery to find out. Oh, well, every one has his weaknesses. 

* * * * 

Down the hall comes a terror-stricken shriek! Never fear; it's just a clarinet. 
The cats must be singing a duet on the back fence! It is just the violins. A 
shrill whistle jars us in our seats! It is not a policeman, or a fire alarm; it's just 

the flutes. 

* * * * 

There is the typing class. I remember the day Al Sterns wrote fifteen words 
per minute with ten errors, the day Betty Friend wrote sixty-seven words per 
minute with five errors, and the day Delbert Harms wrote a negative forty-five 
words per minute with an innumerable amount of errors. But there are those 
eternal budgets — dry old things! I hasten on before I get into their clutches. 

I enter the study hall and notice the bulletin board. Early in the fall, the 
temperamental, would-be journalists felt that something must be done with this 
expanse of board in 218. They thereupon made a startling attempt. They fixed 
a nice little sign, "Uni High in the Public Eye" (doesn't that sound like a 
journalist's idea?) and tacked it up in one corner. It looked sort of lost, but 
that would not be the case for long. Oh no! They then proceeded to get out 
their scissors and thumbtacks and wait for all their articles to pop out in print. 
When this happened (and I must admit it did) they would tack them up under 
the little sign and gaze long and proudly at them. I don't blame them though. 
And it makes quite a display, doesn't it? 

* * * * 

"God of the nations in glory en-throned." 

"That's just fair. Let's try it again. Now, Tom, I told you to sing up 
higher." 

"But, Miss Kitchell, I can't." 



Page 4 3 



The orchestra seems to be going along very smoothly, but at the climax, or 
whatever the high point of a piece of music is, it peters out and then begins a 
wearying time of playing the measure that bothered them over and over again 
so that it is impressed indelibly on the minds of the students, and for days the 
tune keeps coming to their minds always to remind them of orchestra period. 
At last, after much screeching, blaring, and tooting the period comes to an end 
and the haggard, tired-faced individuals called students come filing out too tired 
for anything more. They might be called martyrs. 

* * * * 

No wonder those five minutes between classes are so chucked full of news, 
gossip, puns, jokes, and a very few serious thoughts, when we have a whole 
fifty-five minutes to think of what we want to say to our friends at the good old 
drinking fountain! 



The World Series 

"Hurray for the Yankees!" "Oh, I think New York is just brutish with 
our Cubs!" "The Cubs will show them Saturday; you just wait and see." 
'Those Yanks sure have some team." "Ah, you wait 'til Jakie May gets in." 

These statements and ones similar to them echo throughout the halls of 
Uni High. Not only Uni High but the whole country has come to a standstill 
and is watching the apparently invincible New York Yankees and the spirited 
Chicago Cubs fight it out for the championship of the baseball world. 

Employers offer their employees the afternoon off, so that both the employers 
and the employees may listen to the game over the radio — or, better still, 
actually see the game. The traditionally absent-minded professor must become 
even more forgetful, for there is little doubt but that he is thinking more about 
what Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth might be doing to the Cubs than of the 
physics, calculus, or agriculture that he is teaching. Swarms of students are 
rushing across the campus to the nearest confectionery, so that they may listen 
to the World Series while they sip cokes. Other students are scrambling out of 
the confectionery, already ten minutes late to their classes. 

Instead of wrangling about the causes and supposed remedies of the depres- 
sion, people are talking of what Babe Ruth, the big Bambino, did at bat. 
Instead of arguing the merits of the candidates and platforms of the Republican 
and Democratic parties, people are lamenting the fact that Guy Bush lost control. 

It is too bad that we have only one World Series a year. 

"Hurray for the Yankees!" "Hurray for the Cubs!" "Hurray for the 
World Series!"

Memory Book 

A memory book is the index to my past. It is the medium through which I 
relive each happy occasion of my high school days. 

My memory book and I have always been the objects of much jesting — the 
memory book because its enormous gray bulk bulges as an overpacked suitcase, 
and I because I save such ridiculous mementoes for it. 

When I was a Freshman in high school, every occurrence impressed me to 
such a degree of awe that I wanted to tuck awav safely a piece of each thrill for 
a remembrance. Thus mv memory book grew from a desire to record important 
occasions to a habit which now affords me much pleasure. 

As I leaf through the pages today, I find the events connected with the 

Page 44 



souvenirs pasted there flashing through my mind. The frontispiece is all inclu- 
sive, for it is a snap-shot of my high school, around which my activities center. 
However, since I live in a university city, the University has also affected the 
memories in my book. Football tickets and programs from the University 
football games are frequent souvenirs. 

I can recall, though, that of all the games that I have attended none has 
thrilled me as the first. It was a special game for the Homecoming, and both 
schools had their bands on the field in full-dress. I can still feel the excitement 
that surged through my body as our band began playing "Illinois Loyalty." 
It was inspiring to see the people in the opposite bleachers rise, tier upon tier, and 
then to hear them raise their voices in faithfulness to their Alma Mater. 

Something crackles as I turn a heavily laden page. It is a pressed corsage on 
a single page. Memories of the night I wore that lovely bunch of scented, 
almost breathing roses and forget-me-nots are like an exquisite dream. Dream- 
ing of that night in June, I seem to hear the strains of the famous waltz 
orchestra and the buzz of the people at that colorful ball. 

Small memories as well as thrilling memories are stowed in my memory 
book. This lock of hair came from the head of a dear friend, and scattered 
throughout are snap-shots of other friends who share my high school days. 
There are programs of all descriptions. This one is from my first minstrel show, 
which was an evening spent in endless laughter. Other programs are from our 
high school plays, campus musicals, house dances, and theater entertainments. 

The pages of my memory book have seemed to show that I spend all of my 
time thinking only of entertaining myself; but that is not so, for I consider 
school a place to receive an education. Old report cards and class papers that I 
have deigned to keep as examples prove that work as well as play occupies my 
high school career. 

The memories in my memory book are infinite. Todav as a Senior in high 
school, I feel as if I am preserving the best part of my life in an invaluable 
treasure — my memory book. 

Betty Friend 



Time 

As long as I can remember, I have been doing things by the clock. When I 
was a baby, there was Time for nap, Time for walk, and Time for my orange 
juice. A few years later came Time for school, Time for recess, and Time to go 
home. After the supper hour, came bed Time. Then there was Time to get up, 
and immediately I had to get dressed. Now there is breakfast ar>d then school. 
Then immediately after one class is Time for another, or else Time for study. 
Everything is by schedule, and I think I shall revolt some Time. There, I've 
said that word again!

Three cheers for the Journalism Club!!! This group of students, which met 
informally during the first semester, due to the fact that it was very successful 
in its work, was made a formal organization of Uni High at the beginning of the 
second semester. The purpose of the club is to write for the papers in order 
to let the public know what Uni High is doing and to give the students an 
opportunity to develop in writing. At all hours of the day, journalism members 
could be found gathering news and taking notes on assemblies, classes, club 
meetings, speakers, parties, plays, and what not. They were never idle! 

It hardly seems possible when you look at the pride of the organization — a 
scrap-book of about 700 inches of local newspaper clippings, which will go on 
file in the library as a permanent record of the year 1932-33 — that so much 
could have been accomplished in only one year. The journalism members also 
wrote articles for the two special editions of the Illini. In addition to the satis- 
faction of seeing their names in print, the members were entertained at the 
Virginia Theatre. 

Barbara Ruth served as "scout," securing assignments for the members every 
week; Peggy Newcomb, secretary, kept a record of the assignments; and Virginia 
Palfrey, courier, was responsible for delivering all written articles to the papers. 
Miss McHarry was the excellent adviser of the group.

The Girls' and Boys' Glee Club 

The members of the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs have merrily sung their 
way through the year '32-'33. They have made everyone in school realize that 
they exist. Even during the time when all the banks were closed, they continued 
their singing. Let us hope, they at least helped to cheer someone, though others 
may have become a little exasperated with them at times. 

At the beginning of the first semester, they elected their officers. The girls 
elected Annamarie Kunz, president; Margaret Kunz, vice-president: Virginia 
Palfrey, secretary-treasurer; and Mary Bain Lehmann and Peggy Newcomb, 
librarians. The boys chose Mel Kennedy, president; Eddie Burge, vice-president; 
and Charles Schlatter, secretary. 

In the fall the Glee Clubs went on a picnic. The girls and boys played base- 
ball; and later in the evening, they sang songs. 

Mary Bain Lehmann and Rosalya Finsberg, from the Girls' Glee Club, and 
Bill Davis, from the Boys' Glee Club, represented Uni High in the State Chorus 
held in November.

The Girls' Glee Club of 23 members and the Boys' Glee Club of 23 members 
were assisted by the 38-piece orchestra in an original three-act operetta, "You 
Can't Break It," which was written by students of Uni High and Mr. Holmes, 
the Glee Club director. The romantic story which was based on the invention 
of unbreakable glass moved rapidly. It portrayed the spirit of youth which 
remained undaunted even in the face of seemingly unsurmountable difficulties. 
The music played and sung was really extraordinary. Songs included music 
from Victor Herbert, Schubert, and over 20 other well-known composers and 
arrangers. Chimes and a harp from the University orchestra and band were 
secured for the occasion. The music, which was tuneful and of the operettic 
type, greatly surpassed that of the average operetta of today. The soloists, Mary 
Bain Lehmann, Mel Kennedy, Bob DeWolf, and Jerry Smith, the "triple trio," 
the Dutch band, and the special dances aided in making the evening a very 
entertaining one. This performance was given May sixth. "You Can't Break 
It" was a very fitting climax for a successful year.

Girl Reserves 
officers 

President MARGARET KUNZ 

Vice-President ELIZABETH WHITING 

Secretary VIRGINIA PALFREY 

Treasurer ANNAMARIE KUNZ 

Adviser MRS. KURTZ 

The Girl Reserves are proud of their accomplishments for the past year. 
Under the able leadership of Margaret Kunz, president, they have willingly 
co-operated in their work. The other officers for the club were Betty Whiting, 
vice-president; Virginia Palfrey, scretary; and Annamarie Kunz, treasurer. Mrs. 
Kurtz, the faculty adviser, deserves much of the credit for having given the club 
another year of success. 

The bi-monthly meetings offered a great deal of variety, thus keeping up the 
interest of the members. Peggy Newcomb, chairman of the program committee, 
had printed programs of the year's work made to distribute among the members. 
The meetings were spent in first aid, poetry-songs, speeches, dramatics, hand- 
craft, scrap-books, and sewing for the girls' rest room. This latter is perhaps one 
of the most appreciated of the services done by the club, although the carolling 
at Christmas time and the visit to the Cunningham Home with pop-corn balls 
for the children were equally effective and serviceable. 

The girls helped to sponsor several parties with the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y 
members of all three high schools at the Y. W. C. A. 

On Easter Sunday a service for the parents and friends of the Girl Reserves 
was held by the three high schools at the Unitarian Church. Margaret Kunz was 
master of ceremonies. Mary Bain Lehmann sang, and Louise Varney aided in 
the program. Though the audience was small, the service was successful. 

The purpose of the club has been "to find and give the best." All of the 
girls hope that they have succeeded in this objective. The Seniors are leaving this 
group reluctantly; the others are looking forward to another year with the Girl 
Reserves of Uni High.

The Hi-Y Club met every Wednesday night in the high school or in the

and the next one for activities in the gym. The boys defeated the Hi-Y Club of 
Champaign, 50-18, and the Urbana Hi-Y boys, 21-14 in basketball. 

The officers were as folows: Charles Bidwell, president; Delbert Harms, 
vice-president; and Bruce Benedict, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Ancel Cravens, the 
adviser, handled the meetings in a very fine way. Other members of the club 
were: Clarence Tarpley, James Robertson, Art Lewis, Warren Lewis, Mel 
Kennedy. James Myers, Edward Dolch, Willburt Ham, Dick Little, Edward

The Girl Scouts of Troop 17 have completed another worthwhile year. 
Once a week, they assembled to work and plan together. Some time was spent 
in working on the Athlete's Badge. During the time that the rink was open, the 
girls had several skating parties. They also broadcast a Mothers' Day program 
in which they sang, read poems, and made short talks. The girls are planning a 
Mother-Daughter-Father Banquet for June 7th and also a week-end hike. 
Blanche Veach and Ellen Lemke have served as Captain and Lieutenant respec- 
tively. Virginia Palfrey was scribe; Ruth Helen Burlison, treasurer. Marjorie 
H. Palfrey, Eleanor Anderson, Anna Margaret Foster, and Eolyne Nichols 
were patrol leaders; while Use Aron, Ruth Baldwin, Charlotte Herman, and 
Libby Williams were corporals. The Girl Scouts hope to have many more 
equally successful years at Uni High.

Thimble Theatre Guild 



officers 

President ROBERT DEWOLF 

Vice-President MARGARET NEWCOMB 

Secretary-Treasurer ELLEN SCHNEBLY 

Adviser MlSS SMITH 

The enthusiastic Thimble Theatre Guild, the largest club in school, held its 
first meeting in September soon after school started. At this meeting the follow- 
ing officers were elected: Bob DeWolf, president; Peggy Nwcomb, vice-prsident; 
and Ellen Schnebly, secretary-treasurer. Many new members were soon taken in 
through try-outs and participation in other plays. 

At the meetings plays were produced, pantomimes given, speeches presented, 
and "comedia dell arts" studied. One of the most interesting meetings was a 
visit to the "Little Theatre." In January, the members of the dramatic club 
held a party in the attic. The new members were initiated by giving short 
performances on the stage after which all members present gave short "comedia 
dell arts," giving plenty of room for guessing. Most of the evening was spent 
in dancing.

The Senior Play 

On November 4, the Seniors presented the play "You and I," a drama 
centering on the life-long hope of an artist and his ever faithful wife, by Philip 
Barry. The cast was as follows: 

Beth Chase Ronny Duane 

Jerry Smith Rickey White 

Georgialee Bull Nancy White 

Bob DeWolf Maitland White 

Carlyn Reineberg Etta 

John Edmonds G. T. Warren

The Junior Play 

On March 4, the Juniors presented the three-act play, "Milestones," by 
Arnold Bennett. The play dealt with the dramatic entanglements of a high- 
class London family during the Victorian period. The second act of the play 
dealt with the later Victorian period, and in act three the modern generation of 
the 20th century was portrayed. A large number of Juniors were included in 
the cast and also one Sophomore and one Senior. The cast was as follows: 

Phillip Faucett John Rhead 

Charlotte Johnston .... Gertrude Rhead 

Margaret Van Home Mrs. Rhead

"Alice In Wonderland" 

A Marionette Show 

At last the big show is over and what a performance! Alice is back from 
Wonderland for a time at least. 

Christine Brock and Louise Varney prepared an original dramatization of 
this play, and the ambitious Uni Highers presented it as their second annual 
marionette show. We say second with great pride. Dorothy Tuttle and Will- 
burt Ham were chosen by the school to take the parts of Alice and her Uncle 
who appeared on the stage before and after the actual puppet show. 

Everyone worked industriously and conscientiously for the performances — 
three in number. Mr. Osborne, a University Senior in education, was general 
director, and John Edmonds was the student manager. Mr. Rumble, another 
University Senior in education, was the art director. Clarence Tarpley, who 
originally started the whole idea, was construction manager. Miss McHarry and 
Miss Zilly were advisers. Most of the upper classmen and even some lower 
classmen had a hand in the work. The cast was as follows: 



Alice Dorothy Tuttle 

Uncle Willburt Ham 

Red Queen Barbara Ruth 

White Queen Margaret Van Home 

White Rabbit Willburt Ham 

Humpty Dumpty Lewis Williams 

Gryphon Arthur Lewis 

Mock Turtle Dick Little

Contests 

Uni High has participated in many contests this year and for the most part 
has been successful. 

Thp county contest play, "The High Heart," was among the most successful 
contests which Uni High has ever entered. On April 12th, the cast which 
consisted of Peggy Newcomb, Mel Kennedy, Georgialee Bull, Willburt Ham, 
Mary Edna Colby, Bob DeWolf, and Joe Wooters, went to St. Joe, hopefully 
but uncertain. They won first place. The next day many congratulations were 
extended to the members of the cast and to their capable director, Miss Smith. 
Their next performance was on April 1 7th at the Little Theatre. Again they 
came out triumphant. They had won the county contest. 

Uni High took part in the commercial contests, also. Betty Friend, Alice 
Hamilton, and Willburt Ham represented the school in typing. Alice made third 
place in first year typing. Bill Davis went out for bookkeeping and won fourth 
place. In shorthand, Mary Card, Rosalya Finsberg, and Anne Mueller repre- 
sented Uni High. Mary came out first; Rosalya made third place. 

There were also several individual contests in the fields of music, speech, and 
dramatics. Irma Cole placed first in piano; Ellen Schnebly, third in dramatic 
declamation; Stanley Chapman, second in oration; Mary Edna Colby, third in 
humorous reading; and Barbara Ruth, second in essay. 

Uni High deserves "a pat on the back," for the school has been well 
represented.

MEL KENNEDY served as cap- 
tain in almost every game played 
though no captain was elected. 
Mel played at center the whole 
season and played in more quar- 
ters than any of his team mates. 
He was undoubtedly the back- 
bone of the team and through 
his constant efforts, the spirit of 
the team was greatly bolstered. 
Mel is only a Junior and will 
be back next year. 



DELBERT "HARPO" HARMS 
is another Senior and made an 
excellent running mate for Bou- 
dreau at forward. A 1 though he 
played very few games until the 
middle of the season, the coaches 
finally recognized his ability; and 
from then on he played regularly 
on the first team. His best game 
was undoubtedly played against 
Foosland in which he scored 
baskets from every position on 
the floor to garner twenty-two 
points. 




JOE WOOTERS was another 
Senior member of the team. At 
the first of the season he played 
forward but was later transferred 
to his old position at guard. Joe 
played in every game except 
three in which, due to an injury, 
he was unable to participate. 
His best game was played at 
Long View in which he scored 
ten points, half of the team's 
total score. His place will be 
hard to fill next year. 



DON BOUDREAU played for- 
ward the greatest part of the sea- 
son but was shifted to guard in 
some of the last games. Al- 
though very small. Don is a 
natural player and was one of 
the most consistent scorers on 
the team. Don is a Senior this 
year and his place will be hard 
to fill. 



DON SMITH was the only 
Sophomore member of the team. 
He was easily the smallest mem- 
ber of the squad; but due to his 
aggressiveness and fight, he made 
up for his lack of height. Don 
played forward the greater part 
of the season and could be 
counted upon for several baskets 
in every game. He played his 
best game in the district tourna- 
ment in which he scored the 
winning basket of the game. 
Don will be back for two more 
years and with a little more 
height and weight he will be an 
excellent prospect. 




DENNIS "HAP" HOULIHAN 
was a Senior member of the 
squad who played at the other 
guard position. He was a very 
good defensive man and could be 
counted upon for one or two 
long baskets in every game. His 
best game was played against 
Ogden in which, due to his accu- 
rate basket tossing, we managed 
to win by a two point margin. 
He will be missed next year. 



RONALD "STOCKY" STOCK- 
WILL did not become eligible 
until the second semester but 
obtained enough quarters to earn 
his letter. He was an excellent 
shot and a good dribbler. His 
work was most effective in the 
games at the district tourna- 
ment in which he never ceased to 
fight. He scored enough points 
to become high scorer for Uni 
High in both games. As he is a 
Junior, he will be back next 
year. 







CHARLES "CHUCK" BIDWELL 
is a Senior who has been a 
member of the squad for three 
years. This year he came into 
his own and acquired enough 
quarters to make a letter. Chuck 
was a very dependable player 
and turned in several excellent 
games at guard. His best game 
was the second game with Og- 
den. The opponents were unable 
to solve his great defensive play. 
Chuck's play will be missed next 
year. 



DICK LITTLE is another Sen- 
ior who substituted at forward 
position. This is his third year 
on the squad, but he did not ac- 
quire enough quarters for his 
letter. 




BILL HUTCHINSON is the 
other Sophomore member of the 
squad. Bill was a utility man 
who could be depended upon as 
a substitute for any player and 
who played an exceptional game. 
He was out a great deal of the 
season; and although he played 
some excellent games, he did not 
acquire enough quarters to make 
a letter. He will be back next 
year and will make an excellent 
running mate for Smith at for- 
ward.

COACHES 

University High School athletics were 
under the excellent supervision of Bob 
Horsley and Fred Frink from the univer- 
sity coaching school. These two men had 
charge of the basketball squad while the 
former also had charge of the track squad. 

Although these two men lacked the ex- 
perience of an older man, they certainly 
did not lack in willingness and ability to 
instruct. They spent a great deal of their 
time instructing the athletic teams and did 
all in their power to promote the team's 
success. As they have said, their purpose 
here was to promote an increased interest 
in clean athletics as well as good sports- 
manship. 




JIMMY MYERS performed the difficult 
services of manager in a very capable man- 
ner. His excellent treatment of the players 
was greatly appreciated. Due to a new 
custom, Jimmy was awarded a manager's 
letter. 



Basketball 
uni high loses first game dec. 2, 1932 

The first game of the year was dropped to the boys from Philo on the home floor by the 
score 21 to 16. The Uni High team played a good game and at one time was ahead, but the 
Philo team broke through Uni High' defense in the final period to take the lead by five points. 
Herschel Meis was high point man making five points, and Wooters dropped in a couple of long 
shots. Fiscus and two Dilley brothers played a good offensive game for Philo. 



UNI HIGH DROPS THRILLING ENCOUNTER TO HOMER, DEC. 3 

One of the most exciting games in the local gym was played against Homer. Uni High boys 
showed that they had plenty of fight. The game was not decided until after the final gun. At this 
time, Herschel Meis had two free throws to shoot, the first dropped in the basket, and the second 
rolled around the hoop and fell out. Meis and Don Boudreau with three baskets apiece were high 
scorers for the game. 

This game demonstrating very well the team's willingness to fight was a very great improve- 
ment over the game with Philo. 



OGDEN VS. UNI HIGH, THERE, DEC. 9, 1932 

Uni High won its first game against Ogden by an 1 8 to 1 6 margin. The Uni High team 
played great basketball leading by 7 to 1 at the end of the first quarter, but the Ogden boys came 
back strong in the second quarter and reduced Uni High's lead to 9-8 at the half. 

At the start of the second half Ogden staged a great rally, but Hap Houlihan came through 
with a couple of miraculous baskets from near the center line. Uni High remained in the lead 
throughout the rest of the game. Kennedy and Houlihan were high scorers for Uni High while 
Captain Reeves of the visitors led in Ogden's scoring. 



UNI HIGH AT TOLONO, DEC. 10, 193 2 

Tolono had quite a little difficulty in defeating Uni High, for the Uni High five played a 
great defensive game; however Peterson inserted all of his first team in the fourth quarter, and 
Tolono, headed by Trost and Meharry, won by a 22 to 12 margin. 

Captain Mel Kennedy led the Uni High boys with three baskets and one charity toss for a 
total of seven points. Hap Houlihan was next with one basket and one free throw. For Tolono, 
Gossett was high scorer with four baskets and two charity tosses for a total of ten points. 



UNI HIGH DEFEATED IN CLOSE GAME BY PHILO, DEC. 17, 1932 

Grabbing the lead early in the first minutes of play, Uni High kept it through the contest 
until the final seconds when Brand of the visitors broke through the Uni High defense to score a 
short basket. This was the fifth straight loss of the year for Uni High and the fourth game that 
had been lost by less than three points. For the visitors, Brand, playing at center, was high 
scorer with three baskets and three free throws. Don Boudreau and Mel Kennedy contributed 
most of the points for Uni High. The final score was 16 to 14 with Uni High on the short end 
of the score. 

Page 65 



LONG VIEW WINS EASILY OVER UNI HIGH, JAN. 6, 1933 

Coach Harry Jarman's strong Long View aggregation easily won over Uni High by a 40 to 
14 majority. The Long View boys shot easily and effectively from any angle on the floor. 
There was little doubt as to their superiority in the conflict. 

Fonner, Smith, and Gaines led the Long View five in scoring. These boys showed the local 
fans that Long View will make a strong bid for honors in this section before the District 
Tournament. Denny Houlihan led the Uni High boys in scoring and played a great floor game. 
He scored two baskets and one charity toss for a total of five points. 

UNI HIGH VS. ST. JOE, JAN. 13, 1933 

Uni High was able to stop Con Hamilton's St. Joe cagers for the first half; but in the 
second half, St. Joe forged ahead to come out finally on top with a 21 to 10 victory. The Uni 
High boys fought stubbornly in the first half, and at this time the St. Joe boys held a 5 to 3 
advantage. 

Earl Swearingen was high scorer for St. Joe, sinking three baskets and two free tosses for a 
total of eight points. Mel Kennedy played his usual brilliant game for Uni High, fighting 
stubbornly on defense and scoring two baskets and a free throw to lead the Orange and Blue. 

UNI HIGH LOSES TO OGDEN, JAN. 20, 1933 

The Uni High boys played a great game, but Ogden proved that the bad luck streak was 
still working as they eked out a two-point overtime victory. Headed by Mel Kennedy, who was 
high-scorer, Uni High led in the final seconds of play, when Ogden broke through for a short 
basket and a charity throw which tied the score. Ogden scored early in the overtime period and for 
the rest of the play controlled the ball so that Uni High could not shoot. 

UNI HIGH AT MAHOMET, JAN. 21, 1933 

Mahomet easily defeated Uni High by a 30 to 15 count. It was a much closer game than 
the score indicates. The Mahomet boys could obtain nothing better than a 7-4 lead at the half 
time, but at the start of the second half, Roy Johnson's boys came back on the floor with a new 
defense that baffled the Orange and Blue. From then on, Mahomet scored baskets with ease. 

Mel Kennedy was the high scorer for Uni High with three baskets and one charity toss 
totaling seven points. Captain Wright of Mahomet was the high scorer of the evening with five 
baskets and one free throw for a total of eleven points. 



HOMER DEFEATS UNI HIGH, JAN. 27, 1933 

Uni High put up a strong battle in the first three quarters; but after Don Boudreau and 
Chuck Bidwell were ejected from the game in the final quarter via the personal foul route, Homer 
scored baskets easily and came out on the long end of a 23 to 19 count. 

Four players were taken out of the game because of four personal fouls apiece, and most of 
the other players committed two or three fouls apiece. Uni High was led by Don Boudreau and 
Smith who together contributed ten points. Ed Tibetts led LaDine's quintet with four baskets 
and two charity tosses. 



COUNTY TOURNAMENT, FEB. 2, 1933 

Uni High's bid for recognition in the County Tournament held at St. Joe was a failure; 
for the Orange and Blue were defeated by Philo in their first contest. 26 to 17. Philo seems to 
hold the jinx against Uni High this year, having beaten them three times in three games. 

Page 66 



Mel Kennedy and Ronald Stockwill were tied for high scoring honors with two baskets and 
a free throw apiece for a total of ten points between them. For Philo. Brand was high scorer. 
He broke through the Uni High defense to compile five baskets and several set-up shots. 



UNI HIGH SWAMPED BY TOLONO, FEB. 10, 1933 

Displaying a powerful offensive game, Tolono had little difficulty in defeating the weaker' 
Uni High team by a 3 1 to 1 margin. The Uni High boys were worn out from an overtime 
tussle with Ogden the previous night and lacked the ability to make short baskets. Mel Kennedy 
led the scoring for Uni High; while Jay Trost, scoring baskets and a pair of free tosses, was the 
"Big shot" for Tolono. 

UNI HIGH AT LONG VIEW, FEB. 17, 1933 

Although Long View won this game by rather a large score, the game was much harder 

fought than the score indicates. The Uni High players were greatly handicapped by the small 

floor at Long View, and it was due to many shots hitting the ceiling that the score was not 
much closer. 

Joe Woofers, by making four baskets for a total of eight points was high scorer for the Uni 
High five. Don Boudreau was next with two baskets and one free throw. For Long View. 
Charlie Smith who made 16 points seemed to have the best luck hitting the basket. Harold 
Fonner was close behind with seven field goals. 



FISHER AT UNI HIGH, FEB. 18, 1933 

Uni High played excellent basketball for one quarter: but before the half was over the 
boys showed the strain of their previous night's game with Long View. Fisher easily won in the 
second half by a lopsided 37 to 17 count. 

Mel Kennedy was high scorer for the Orange and Blue with two baskets for a total of 
four points. Don Boudreau and Hap Houlihan weie next in line with three points apiece. For 
Fisher, Meneely was high scorer with four baskets and two charity tosses. Captain Cagle was 
close behind with four baskets for a total of eight points. 

The game was slow and uninteresting due to the strain of previous night's games on both 
teams. 

FOOSLAND AT UNI HIGH, FEB. 27, 1933 

The Orange and Blue defeated Foosland by the score of 49 to 14 for the second win of the 
season. Uni High was slow in getting started, so the second team was given a chance to show 
what they could do. They began a scoring spree which did not let up until the final whistle. 

Del Harms was the outstanding player on both teams, scoring nine field goals and four free 
throws for a total of twenty-two points. Captain Taylo made three field goals for Foosland. 



MANSFIELD AT UNI HIGH, FEB. 25, 1933 

This game was one of the worst played games of the year from Uni High's standpoint. 
The Orange and Blue cagers could do nothing effectively; and after a very poor exhibit of basket- 
ball, Mansfield came out on top with a 1 7 to 8 victory. 

Beanie Edwards, Mansfield's star six-foot-four-inch center, dominated the evening's play. 
The big center received passes under the basket to score four field goals and a couple of charity 
tosses to win high scoring honors. Although no Uni High player was very outstanding, Mel 
Kennedy played perhaps the best game, scoring two field goals and one free toss.

\S 



ST. JOE BEATS UNI HIGH 23 TO 18, MARCH 3, 1933 

Uni High lost a thrilling contest to St. Joe in the closing minutes of the game. St. Joe, led 
by Bud Swearingen, easily broke through Uni High's defense in the final minutes to overtake an 
Orange and Blue lead and score four baskets, winning the game. 

It was a close game, and neither team could gain any advantage until the final canto. Early 
in the fourth quarter the Uni High team held a three point lead and seemed destined finally to win 
a ball game, but it became excited and allowed St. Joe to break through the defense and score the 
winning baskets. 

Bud Swearingen led St. Joe by accumulating eleven points. Mel Kennedy led the scoring for 
Uni High by making two baskets and five free throws for a total of nine points. 



DISTRICT TOURNAMENT 

Uni High surprised many local fans by beating Philo in the first game of the District Tour- 
nament at Urbana by a 25 to 24 score. This was one of the most thrilling games of the entire 
tournament. The game was not decided until the final seconds of play. 

Don Smith is the boy we shall remember in this game, for it was he who sank the basket 
that gave Uni High a victory in the final seconds of play. Stockwill was the high scorer of the 
game making five field goals and two charity tosses. Don Fiscus was the star for Philo sinking 
four field goals and two free throws for a total of ten points. 

Uni High made a strong bid for further competition in the tournament but weakened in the 
final quarter to allow St. Joe to win its third game of the year from the Orange and Blue cagers 
by an 1 8 to 13 score. The game was quite even throughout the first half, the score at half time 
being tied 5 to 5. In the final quarter Earl Swearingen broke through the Uni High defense 
twice to score baskets which provided St. Joe with the five point margin of victory. 

Ronald Stockwill played a brilliant game for Uni High and won high scoring honors with 
three baskets and two free throws. Earl Swearingen, the diminutive St. Joe forward, was out- 
standing for the scoring of three baskets and one charity toss for his team.
