The Class of 1934 dedicates this book to our
Principal and Leader, Mr. Glenn K. Kelly, who
amid two years of trying financial conditions
has worked untiringly to keep our school
functioning efficiently. In appreciation of his
interest and enthusiasm in improving the condi-
tions and methods of our school we gratefully
inscribe this Rouser.

FOREWORD
Buildings reflect the trend of civilization and
the human race. From the earliest times,
when man crawled into a hole in the rocks
and scratched on the walls of his cave pic-
tures of the things he saw, to the present
with its buildings of the beauty of sim-
plicity, they have manifested the beliefs and
the creeds of human beings.
So in accordance with our theme, we have
tried to inject into our book, a breath of the
life of our school days, a brief history of a
very happy period of our lives.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY
The tenth day of September in the ninteen-
hundred thirtieth year of our Lord truly marked a
red-letter day in the building of the R-B reputa-
tion. For was it not on this day that the class of
1934 entered as raw material to be fashioned
into something useful and lovely?
We came in with the traditional levity of the
Freshman, which was straightway demolished by
the Seniors, and such. Shortly, however, we fell
into the routine of high school life, to begin in
earnest the foundation of the class of '34. The
leadership was bestowed upon Leo Bullinger,
with George Smith and William Grove as co-
workers. We did ourselves proud that first year,
with a goodly number of representatives in the
Stage Show, the "Pirates of Penzance," and
athletics.
With a firm foundation upon which to build,
actual work on the edifice of '34 began with the
election of Claude Kirchner to the presidency,
Margaret Fisher to the vice-presidency, and Mar-
garet Boudrye to the secretary-treasurership.
We were no longer novices, and with the eradi-
cation of Freshman habits, we, as Sophomores,
became a distinguishing asset to the student
body. Every club in school boasted some of our
number. Olivette Pogose, Leo Bullinger, and
Claude Kirchner appeared in leading roles of the
operetta, "In Old Vienna." Richard Williams and
Norman Prass were active members of the de-
bating team, and Richard Williams was the first
winner of the Alexander Cup Contest. We
proudly acknowledged the election of Claude
Kirchner, Margaret Fisher, and Leo Bullinger to
the Honor Senate.
Much work on our growing structure was ac-
complished when we were Juniors. Released
from the shackles of the underclassman, we made
the Junior class the nucleus of school activity.
We were the animating spirit of the choruses,
clubs, and athletics. Our class officer election
results were: Norman Prass, president; Charles
Henderson, vice-president; Lillian Horvath, sec-
retary; and Elsa Peterson, treasurer. The all-star
production, "It Happened in Hollywood" was a
grand success. The operetta cast of the "Mi-
kado" was made up largely of the class of '34.
Irene Binder, Gladys Svoboda, and Warren Kied-
aisch became members of the Honor Senate.
The climax of the year came with the Prom,
unique in its futuristic decorations, talked about
for weeks before and months after the great
event. We are not egotistical, but like the true
genius who is aware of his greatness, we proudly
declare our works.
As Seniors our efforts have been redoubled to
complete the already imposing structure of '34
with a result beyond even our wildest expecta-
tions. Alfred Nelson, assisted by Tommy U'Ren,
George Smith, and Jean Cruickshank, has led the
class efficiently. The romantic comedy, "The King
Rides By" was our ambitious senior play achieve-
ment. The Honor Senate, with six of our num-
ber already enrolled, pledged Virginia Likens and
Norman Prass to membership. Ed Cichy and Al-
fred Nelson, outstanding athletes brought home
glory and victory for the school by their football
and basketball triumphs.
Such is the record of the construction of the
class of '34. When a noble building is com-
pleted, is it discarded and left to deteriorate?
No, with proper upkeep, a building into which
has been placed substantial materials will last
many years, and grow more lovely with the pass-
ing of time. Thus, we keep ever adding to the
knowledge we have already gleaned, and con-
tinue our education with higher learning in the
School of Life. It is with pensive musing that
we look back on the joys of the past, but with
expectant hope we push forward into the depths
of the future.
SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY
I boarded the U'Ren, Mancl, & Kawol railroad
bound for New York. With no definite destina-
tion in mind and more money and time than I
knew how to manage, I decided to find out what
my old classmates were doing.
With a box of Youngman's Caramels to munch
on, I seated myself for a comfortable rest. A
familiar voice said, "Ticket, please." I glanced
up to find Rudy Dombrow before me. He in-
formed me that there were several other class-
mates of mine on the train. Eddie Collis was the
engineer; Bill Grove, the fireman; and Jack Foley,
another conductor. "Just the other day," Rudy
said, "the two famous sculptresses, Helen and
Elinore Anderson, traveled on our train enroute
to teach at the Kodidek and Kapoun Art Insti-
tute. Yesterday Charles Konovosky, editor of the
'Universal Newspaper,' rode on this train on his
way for a rest at Boostrom's quiet sanitarium at
Gardiner's Bay, Maine. (Named after Governor
William Gardiner.) Charles said that Charles
'Ike' Henderson has made his first thirty million
by finding the first successful process of peroxid-
ing blonde hair without that certain artificial look.
Robert Colbrook, head of the firm of lawyers,
Ehlerding, Faul, Flynn and Oswald, has just won
his biggest case in his defense of Feme Carlson's
copyright. Feme recently invented a new form of
symbol writing which shortens the old Gregg
short hand system. Edward Cichy, famous base-
ball player, was recently signed up by the New
York Giants. The Cincinnati Red Sox listed Alex
Kunatz, Wilbert Langele, and Nick Zeilstra as
stars. Ed Fyfe won first place in running in the
Olympic Games, defeating the present title-
holder, Warren Kiedaisch. The names of Joe
Duran and Alfred Nelson, coaches at the Uni-
versity of California, often appear in his column.
William Crowe has become Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court." At last, his store of informa-
tion being exhausted, Rudy left me.
Arriving in New York late the next night, I
immediately jumped into a taxi. Imagine my
surprise! When the driver turned around, I found
myself face to face with Harold Justin, a driver
for the Homer Taxi Cab Company—noted for
its speed. He whizzed me to the Galley Hotel.
Guess who was the doorman—I Jerry Cykner—!
As I went up in the elevator to my room, I re-
garded the elevator boy. There was something
familiar about that cheerful grin—"Why, Ray
Harazin, how are you?"
I entered my room, number 1934. "Oh," I
said, "now for a moment's relaxation." I lay
down on a Kroehler chaise lounge and turned on
the radio. Ah—a crooner!
At the end of the song, the announcer said,
"The song you have just heard was sung by Law-
rence Pray. This is station R.B.H.S. (Ripple, Brown,
Haering, and Seymour). Bill Smith is your an-
nouncer." I turned the dial and listened to the
Symphony Orchestra. I picked up the paper to
see if any of my old friends were in this orchestra.
Sure enough—Lillian Vesely was the director;
Frances Strittar, the pianist; Eleanor Kudrna, the
violinist; Fred Schoenfeldt, the flute player; and
Marcelle Zirzow, the violincellist.
On different stations I found Olivette Pogose,
featured as the star singer on the Dernehl, Ferris,
and Lenske Hour; Hugo Vavrinek, the sports an-
nouncer; George Glaser, the radio dance instruc-
tor; Irene Binder, who was advertising the famous
Seipp's waving fluid, Boudrye's beautifying cold
cream, and the Russell indelible lip-stick; Mar-
jorie Buresch giving a lecture on home manage-
ment; Hope Beavers telling all the girls how to
have that feminine appeal by wearing clothes
designed by Margaret Wendell and Jeanne
Tower; Violet Adamson and Dorothy George ad-
vertising their famous sanitarium for "mad"
chemists; Gratia Cowan giving a lecture on the
higher things in life—how to live, love, and laugh;
and Virginia Likens' and Harriet Brundage's ad-
vice to the lovelorn which concluded the after-
noon's entertainment by old R-B friends.
I then went in search of a beauty parlor. Two
doors away I discovered the "Ritz Powder Box,"
whose owners turned out to be Marion Gura and
Helen Meydrech.
Coming out of the shop, I spied the "Rezek
Tea Room" across the street and decided to dine
there. The manager of the tea room was Elsa
Peterson, and Bernice Kresen was the cashier.
Many noted people ate there. I saw the great
criminal lawyer, Jack Reinertson; Elaine Price, the
playwright; the renowned heart doctor, Albert
Farndell, the aviatrix, Martha Schnabl; the cele-
brated scientists, George Wiegel and Leo Bul-
linger; and Dr. Otto Henssler, who has made a
medicine that will preserve youth for the first
hundred years.
With the whole evening on my hands, I de-
cided to go to the theater. Entering the Palace
Theater, which was owned by the greatest theater
SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY
operator, Ray Rajsky, I was ushered to my seat
by William Utermark, who told me that Robert
Wallace, James Halkey, and Richard Williams
were also ushers there. The picture, "One Night
of Love," flashed on the screen and there I saw
Kathryn Boellhoff, playing opposite Norman
Prass. The cast also included Marjorie Carroll,
Henrietta Noble, Ebba Wendell, James Smith-
son, and Lenard Eastman. In the vaudeville that
followed the two jesters who kept the audience
roaring were none other than Charles Blecka and
Martin Novy. Next was a short skit enacted by
the successors to the Duncan sisters—Betty and
Jean Cruickshank. Then the acrobats came tum-
bling onto the stage. The acrobats were Lillian
Horvath, Margaret Johnson. Agnes Kavanaugh,
and Vlasta Lajcik.
On the spur of the moment, I decided to set
off for a jaunt to Paris. I say a "jaunt" because
I was going by plane via the Shultes, Sigler, and
Witt line. Gladys Machacek, the stewardess,
took me to the front of the plane to see Carol
Higgs, the pilot.
As it took us only six hours to get there, I spent
the afternoon wandering around the Paris streets.
Seeing a crowd gathered about an artist, I drew
closer. The artist was Bill Jackson, but who was
the artist's model? Why, if it wasn’t Gladys
Svoboda! After this amazing discovery, I de-
cided to return to my hotel and rest. However,
no sooner had I arrived than I heard myself being
paged. A pair of mischievous brown eyes looked
into mine as the bell hop handed me a card—
"Hello, James Evans, you haven't changed a
bit—!" I declared. I looked at the card he handed
me. Here is what I found: "The ambassador to
France, Claude Kirchner, would be delighted to
see you for a moment—!" Claude then came
forward. He was still the same old Claude.
On my first night in Paris, he escorted me to
the "Midnight Review." We took our places and
I saw Marijane Toskey, reputed to be the best
dressed woman in Europe, seated at a neighbor-
ing table. The playing of music introduced the
floor show. "That Spanish dancer certainly is
wonderful," I murmured to Claude.
"Haven't you ever seen her before?" he whis-
pered. I observed her closely—Lois Anderson!
Next came a Hula Hula dancer from Hawaii,—so
the program said. Out danced — yes, it was
Betty Beverly! Then came the torch singer, Lor-
raine Morton. The ballet dancers, Margaret Mur-
phy, Mary Callahan, Catherine Logue, Glyda
True, Dorothy Foval, Mary Steinhoff, Lillian Zmys-
lowski, Virginia Templeman, Gertrude Gierman,
Mildred Zahrobsky, and Mary Kulie danced out
upon the scene—unafraid of the big bad wolf—
in the disguise of Arno Wolf, who had a center
table. Much to my disappointment, this was all
of the Riverside talent. I asked Claude if he knew
what any of our old classmates were doing.
"Remember petite Margaret Fisher?" he asked.
"She's modeling at Grunwald's dress shop. Gene-
vieve Toohey is the up-and-coming woman law-
yer. Ralph Schaefer has won the golf champion-
ship in the United States. Fay Shaw takes the
lead in all the big plays. Hazel Healy is private
secretary to the president of the United States,
Raymond Johnston. Harold Fricek is chief auto-
motive engineer in the Prouty, Valis, and Wet-
tour Motor Company. The foremost tailors in
the United States are the Nye Brothers. Frank
Saunders leads that renowned tap dancing team,
'The High Steppers.' In its ranks we find Luella
Lauth, Dorothy Lenske, Alfa Freestate, Charlotte
Plohr, Bernard Kane, Melvin Vachulka, George
Smith, and James Neher. Our wonderful inven-
tors, Libbie Panosh, Carolyn Reissig, and Roberta
Robinson, have invented a silent machine for
catching flies and converting them into rubber
erasers. The Hershberger dairy, specializing in
chocolate milk for poor underweight school chil-
dren, keeps its drivers, William Evans, James
Wainer, Gordon Plohr, Edward Vrzak, and Robert
Sieweke busy in the wee hours of the morning!
The Strauman Brothers make shoes for dainty
women and employ only women in their retail
store. At any time of the day you will find Lucille
Caldwell, Esther Schlamann, Florence Gnacinski,
Virginia Zynda, Cornelia Buman, and Grace Hen-
riksen clerking there." This last remark completed
his wealth of information about the R-B students
who had amounted to something.
A sudden longing and loneliness overtook me.
"Claude," I said "I want to go home!" Claude
took me to my hotel. I threw my belongings into
my trunk and took the first plane for home.
Home at last—how good it seems! I find that
I am not the only one who has not become fa-
mous, for I see that Bertice Jones, finally tired of
going hither, thither, and yon, is happily living
in a love nest built for two. How peaceful and
quiet everything is! Did I say quiet? Someone
is pounding on my door. "Who's that knocking at
my door?" I opened it a crack and in stepped
Chester Borucki, the Fuller Brush man!

FACULTY ADVISERS
Mr. Peebles, Miss Hale, Miss Courtney, Miss Hewitt
Three years ago Mother R. B. H. S. flung out
her arms to approximately two hundred wide-
eyed, anxious young newcomers. Although the
first year was difficult, the students were quickly
organized, and elected Joe Benes, president:
Joe Jirak, vice-president; and Bernard Knudsen,
secretary-treasurer. As freshmen, the boys did
quite well in sports, many being very successful.
Bob Kahn, our famous debater, won a silver cup
his freshman year as a reward for his services in
the Forum.
The second year the students returned as
Sophomores, more anxious but not quite so
young. That year the class was governed by Ed-
ward Thomas, with Frances Mayerowicz, John
Mikulcik, and Florence Ohman as his assistants.
The "Mikado," which was presented that year,
displayed Ted Bachman's skill as an actor. Jane
Lies won a medal in the Alexander Poetry Read-
ing Contest. Last, but not least, three members
of the class proved themselves worthy of being
elected to the Honor Senate. These were: James
Grear, Marjorie Whitney, and Norbert Hruby.
This year the class came back as Juniors,
stronger in spirit than ever before. The Usher
Club was made up of Juniors only. The Junior
Play, "Lookin' Lovely," was a great success.
Nothing less than a success could be expected
with Ted Bachman as Moe, the Jewish Theatrical
Producer, and Jane Lies playing the part of a
movie actress. However, it did look as though
something, besides a success, was going to be a
result of the play. During rehearsals Bob Kahn
seemed to take his stage romance seriously.
Ah! Something new for the girls. Popularity
Contest! None other than Lorraine Ostrander
won the Contest. Then on the arm of Alex Kunatz,
a dashing Senior, Lorraine led the grand march
at our school dance. This year three more mem-
bers were elected to the Honor Senate. They
were Murray Strittar, Conrad Bollinger, and
Helen Hughes. Another outstanding event in
1934 was the Operetta "Robin Hood." The
Juniors who had main parts in this were Ruth Kain
and June McDougal.
The class has been well represented each year
in a great many of the clubs, many of the students
taking active part in them.
Some of the Juniors are noted for their talent
in other lines. These are: Bob Howes, for his
saxophone and orchestra: Rita Ricker, for her
talent as a pianist; and Marjorie Whitney and
Ruth Kain for their dancing.
The boys have done well in athletics this year,
a few of them being stars. Jim Grear was Cap-
tain of both the lightweight football and the
lightweight basketball teams. Anton Stolfa and
Jim Grear scored a great number of points for
old R.B.H.S. during all of our games this year.
Other Juniors who were on the teams were Bob
Polan and George Bursik on the lightweight
squads and Walter Nelson on the heavyweight
squads. There were also a great number of other
Juniors who went out for basketball and football.
The Juniors who were band members this year
were: Bernard Knudsen, Bob Howes, Louise
Cholewick, Albert Smithson, Bob Dopp, Dick Fer-
ris, and Billy Tinker.
Those playing in the orchestra were Bernard
Knudsen, John Mikulcik, and Bob Howes.
Plans are now being made for a memorable
Prom, June 4, when the Seniors will be the guests
of the Class of 1935. This will bring to a close
the activities of the third year of the class of
1935.

CLASS ADVISERS:
THE SOPHOMORE CLASS
On a bright autumn morn in September of the
year 1932 a class of pupils entered dear old R.B.
H.S., wide-eyed and bewildered, or in other
words, "greenhorns"! But that year of bewilder-
ment has passed. They have grown larger in
body and mind. They are now Sophomores! A
fine group of their type, too, not lacking in talent,
brains, or needless to say mischievousness. But
we won’t go into that. We shall dwell only on
their good points.
Robert Leesley, Robert Price, Robert Nelson,
and John Davern have made themselves known
in the various athletic fields, while Irwin Busse
and Harry Ripkey are making enviable records on
the tennis team. Among those who help to cheer
the teams on their way are two Sophomore cheer
leaders, William Butt and Richard Brothers. Our
Sophomores are also skilled in the musical line.
William Brown, who is an able piano accompanist,
also plays the horn. Doris Sieweke, Ray Radosta,
and Jack Kittleman are members of the band.
Dorothy Lohmuller belongs to the Festival
Chorus. She, Grace Gust, and Marion Lohnes
took part in the "Milkmaid Chorus" of the Oper-
etta "Robin Hood." We are also proud to boast
of two loyal, hardworking members of the Honor
Senate, Jean Gardner and Robert Conklin.

THE FRESHMAN CLASS
The Freshman Class can claim its average
among R.B.H.S. Honor Roll students and a
straight A representation in Mary Erskine. In
athletics the class has as football stars John Ken-
nedy, guard, and Donald Prahl, all-conference
center. The presence also of Bruce, Zahrobsky, R.
Falconer, D. Falconer, Burnson, Webster, Burn-
hart, Hubka, and Brozio on the football squad
last fall has the promise of a 1937 championship
team. In basketball we were represented by
Phelps, D. Falconer, Bruce, Zahrobsky, Prahl, and
Hubka.
In dramatics the freshman class not only held
its own but loaned one of its stars, Herbert Vilim,
to the upper classes for an important part in the
Christmas play.
And, last but not least, the class furnished the
most unique cheer leading team in the West
Suburban Conference, the Keller twins and Ralph
Ruthenberg.
The class of 1937 promises to uphold its high
scholastic and athletic standards in the three re-
maining years at Riverside-Brookfield High
School.

ACTIVITIES
ASSEMBLIES
Weekly assemblies have been held at R-B for
two purposes; to evoke interest in the activities
of others, and to bring cooperation into the stu-
dent body. There is much variety in the programs,
thus making them of interest to all.
An outstanding assembly was the one pre-
sented by the French Club. A short skit in French
from "The Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon"
opened the program. A reading by Miss Sibbald,
in which she told about her year in France, fol-
lowed. The program was completed by the en-
tire French Club giving a portrayal of French
students in a cafe, singing the Marseillaise.
There is another type of assembly in which the
students do not participate. They are the Lyceum
programs. They are a course of programs pre-
sented by professional talent. Guests may at-
tend the lyceum numbers by paying a small ad-
mission fee.
One of the annual assembly programs that is
anticipated with much interest every year is the
Alexander Cup Contest in the interpretive read-
ing of poetry.
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Alexander of Riverside, who
are the sponsors of this contest, award medals
every year to the winners of the first, second, and
third places. The winner of the first place has
also the honor of having his name engraved on
a silver loving cup which Mr. and Mrs. Alexander
presented to the school three years ago. The
Contest is handled through the English classes
from which the first group of contestants is
chosen. A preliminary contest is held in which
the number of contestants is cut down to seven.
These seven appear in the assembly program
when the three best are chosen and awarded
their medals. The contest this year was held April
30. The winners of the first three places were
respectively: Jane Lies, first place; Conrad Bol-
linger, second place; Ted Bachman, third place.
"THE EDUCATION OF YOUTH"
A pageant, "The Education of Youth" was pre-
sented May 8, in the high school auditorium by
the departments of Riverside-Brookfield High
School. The pageant was given as a means of
acquainting parents of students with the goal
and the means of modern education, and re-
placed the usual spring exhibit of school work.
Tickets were issued to parents of all high school
students.
"The Education of Youth" was entirely in pan-
tomime with explanation supplied by two readers
of the libretto. The curtain rose on a representa-
tion of an old American school-room and then in
sharp contrast came a series of six modern scenes,
each prepared by a department of the school,
and representing work done in one or more de-
partments. The departments represented were
the physical education, science, home econom-
ics, manual training, commercial, social science,
language, English, and music departments. The
seventh and final scene portrayed in a fanciful
manner, the result of education; that is, Ethical
Character.
THE STUDENT ACTIVITY FINANCE PLAN
The Student Activity Finance Plan has been
employed this year in Riverside-Brookfield High
School for the first time. Its object is to allow
a greater majority of students to attend high
school functions at a much lower cost than if
individual tickets were purchased. This also in-
sures a larger attendance at all school affairs.
At the beginning of the school year everyone
planning to enter the Finance Plan received his
blank stamp book which was numbered and reg-
istered by the teacher. For thirty consecutive
Fridays stamps were sold in every home room.
The cost of the stamps was ten cents each, mak-
ing the charge for all school events of the year
only three dollars. If a student missed a payment
one week, he could not be admitted to the school
events under the Plan until his book had been
brought up-to-date. Those participating in stamp
book events were refunded the price of admis-
sion. It has been considered a great success as
more than three-fourths of the student body have
participated in it. Mr. Hoffman has been the
efficient treasurer of the "Plan's" finances.
The following events are included in the Stu-
dent Activity Finance Plan: football and basket-
ball games, eight Lyceum programs, two band
and orchestra concerts, Christmas Play, two class
plays, operetta, school dance, and The Rouser.

The Riverside-Brookfield High School Honor
Senate was organized in June, 1928, with the
purpose of stimulating finer ideals among the
student body. Membership in the Honor Senate
is based on the four principles: Scholarship,
Leadership, Service, and Character. Nine mem-
bers are admitted each year. At the close of the
first semester a boy and a girl are chosen from
the three upper classes, and near the close of
school one student, either a boy or girl, from each
of the three upper classes is admitted. The new
members are chosen by the point system which
is based not only on scholarship but upon service,
leadership, and character.
Upon being elected to the Honor Senate, the
student is notified of his election in a congratula-
tory note from the principal in which he is re-
quested to learn the pledge for initiation in
assembly. At that assembly the new members
are inducted into membership and presented
their Honor Senate pins in a very impressive
ceremony.
Candles representing the four ideals of the
Honor Senate are lighted and the meaning of
each is explained to the new members. Following
this the new members take their vows pledging to
uphold the ideals of Scholarship, Leadership,
Character, and Service, to be fair and square in
their dealings with all, and to serve without
thought of personal glory.
The work of the Honor Senate varies each year,
but in all of its projects there is one aim which
is: to be of service to the school. In the past
year the Honor Senate delivered Christmas bas-
kets, decorated the high school for the Christmas
holidays, sold Junior and Senior Play tickets, and
elected a committee for maintaining order and
cleanliness in the halls. In this way service be-
comes the keynote to the organization.
The final meeting of the Honor Senate takes
the form of a luncheon which serves as an oppor-
tunity for the non-graduate members and the
graduate members to meet socially. Following
the luncheon the officers for the following year
are chosen.
This year Miss Bare has taken over the advisor-
ship which was held last year by Miss Bullock,
former Riverside-Brookfield High School teacher.

THE CLARION
A new system whereby every six weeks a new
editor was chosen and members of the staff were
shifted to various positions was inaugurated by
the Clarion this year, thus offering opportunity
for advancement in the Clarion staff every six
weeks period. Arrangement with the "Riverside
News" and the "Brookfield Magnet" made pos-
sible the inclusion of a high school department in
their columns. During the second semester sev-
eral issues of the Clarion were set up and printed
by the first year printing classes.
The temporary editors have been: Robert
Wallace, Joe Benes, Norman Prass, Edward
Thomas, and Genevieve Toohey. The staff for
the first six weeks is given:

THE RIVERSIDE-BROOKFIELD HIGH SCHOOL
BAND AND ORCHESTRA
The Band in its sixth year of existence has again
finished an active program. Pep meetings, foot-
ball games, and invitations to play at various
gatherings in the neighboring villages followed in
quick succession, as the ordinary activities of this
organization.
Probably the incident of this year which will be
remembered the longest by the Band members is
their trip to the Fair. The march down the
Avenue of Flags (though several hours late) and
the playing before a large audience were thrills
that the R-B Band members had never before
experienced.
The semi-annual concerts were well received
by the audience. The Harvest Festival due to the
combined efforts of the Band, Orchestra, and
Chorus was a great success. In the Spring the
Sixth Annual Band and Orchestra Concert showed
what well organized groups of musicians RB can
boast of.
To Mr. Peebles, the director and adviser, who
organized the Band six years ago, goes a great
deal of the credit for its excellence and popu-
larity.
With the large number of Freshmen who en-
tered the Band this year, and the large number
of musicians still remaining in school, it is appar-
ent that this musical group will continue to im-
prove as the years go on.
When soft sweet music is needed, the Orches-
tra may be counted on to furnish it. Under the
able direction of Mr. Peebles, the Orchestra has
left the people who heard it at the Harvest Fes-
tival and the Sixth Annual Concert full of favor-
able memories of this harmonious group.
In putting on the Operetta a great deal of
weight was put on the shoulders of the Orchestra
members, and they played their part in a pro-
fessional manner.
Aside from the Concerts and the Operetta,
the Orchestra proved its popularity in the large
number of invitations it received to play for
social gatherings in both Riverside and Brookfield.
In addition the students were given an oppor-
tunity to enjoy the Orchestra during several of
the assembly programs, at the Christmas Play,
and the Junior and Senior Plays.
In addition to the Band and Orchestra, Mr.
Peebles organized a few ensembles to fill the
requests for small musical groups to play for
banquets, socials, and meetings.
Three ensembles were formed: a Brass Sextette,
a Flute Trio, and a Saxophone Quartette, and
they all proved very popular.
Since the Bulldogs wanted to sponsor a dance
every two or three weeks, a dance orchestra was
formed by members of the Band and Orchestra.
Under the leadership of Robert Howes, this or-
ganization, consisting of ten pieces, gained a
great deal of popularity not only at the school

THE CHORUSES AND "ROBIN HOOD"
This year the chorus of two hundred fifty peo-
ple has outdone itself in the number of activities
at which it has supplied music. Under the enthusi-
astic direction of Miss Eneboe and accompani-
ment of Rita Ricker, William Brown, and Welling-
ton Schiller, it has supplied music for the Harvest
Music Festival, Armistice Day, Christmas Pro-
gram, collaborated on the pageant, "One Night
in Bethlehem," sung for assembly programs, com-
mencement events, and given evening concerts
at many of the churches in Riverside and Brook-
field.
This year forty-five of the best singers were
chosen as members of the Festival Chorus to sing
for the "National Music Supervisors' Convention"
at the Auditorium Theatre on April II. Their
excellent and inspiring concert was broadcast all
over Europe and America by the N. B. C. net-
work. A public concert was given on April 22 at
the J. Sterling Morton High School Auditorium.
However, chorus is not all work and no play,
for there have been several outstanding social
functions this year. The chorus party was held
in the form of a Mardi Gras at which "Gayety
did prevail." In the spring, a Treasure Hunt
Picnic was held.
The most outstanding work of the chorus every
year is the operetta. This year the chorus was
more ambitious than ever, branching out into
professional work by presenting De Koven's
"Robin Hood," which eclipsed all previous oper-
ettas in excellent music, good singing, and act-
ing. The lilting music and comic libretto so ably
sung and acted by the proficient cast and chorus,
attracted a capacity audience for three perform-
ances. Robin Hood and his "merrie men," Friar
Tuck, Allan-a-Dale, Little John, and Will Scarlet
romped through their lines in a jolly fashion be-
fitting the stout yeomen that they were.
The curtain rose on the fair at Nottingham
Town where Little John and his companions had
come to take part in the archery contest. How-
ever, Robert, Earl of Huntington, shamed them
all by winning. Lady Marian, who had been
commanded by the King to marry the Earl of
Huntington, came to the fair to see him. She
was well pleased, and they plighted their troth.
Robert, being of age, laid his claim to the Earl-
dom: but the Sheriff of Nottingham refused him,
declaring that Guy of Gisborne was the Earl.
Robert joined Little John and the outlaws and
became the celebrated Robin Hood.
In Act II Alan-a-Dale, being in love with Anna-
bell, Dame Durden's daughter, became so out-
raged by her flirtations with Robin that he was
provoked into playing the traitor. He betrayed
his chief to the Sheriff and his men. In the mean-
time, Lady Marian had fled from Guy of Gis-
borne and come to Sherwood forest to join Robin.
In Act III the scene changed to Nottingham
where Will Scarlet, disguised as an armorer, was
making fetters for Robin. Scarlet made the
chains weak and the outlaws, disguised as monks,
conspired to help Robin escape. In the absence
of the Bishop he volunteered to perform Sir Guy's
marriage ceremony. When the Sheriff entered
the church, he found it full of outlaws.
A messenger from the King now came with a
pardon for Robin, to whom he also restored his
title of Earl of Huntington. The curtain fell on
the jollification of the outlaws as Lady Marian
agrees to marry Robin.

HEAVYWEIGHT
The Riverside-Brookfield High School's heavy-
weight football team ended its most disastrous
season as far as victories are concerned, scoring
only two points in the entire season of 1933. The
greater part of the scoring against Riverside was
accomplished during the first period of play. In
the latter part of the season Riverside held their
opponents in true style.
Handicapped in the early part of the season
by the injury of two of the most valuable back-
field players, Riverside suffered as many tough
"breaks" as any one team possibly could.
The heavyweight team averaged about 150
pounds, which in comparison with the conference
teams, was unusually light.
Coach Ralph, with the aid of his assistants,
concentrated on the development of the lower
classmen for the season of 1934.
The grid season ended with Riverside at the
bottom of the West Suburban Conference^

The Lightweights this season tied for the
League championship. One defeat forced them
to share the honors with Glenbard. The fighting
team composed of Captain Grear, Kunatz,
Konovsky, Prouty, Sieweke, and U'Ren in the back-
field and Stolfa, Prahl, Busse, Foley, Shultes, Fane,
Rezek, and PoJan in the line thrilled both oppo-

nents and spectators with dazzling plays taught
them by Coach Shuey.
The lightweight team was erratic in perform-
ance, possessed the winning spirit, and finished a
successful season on top. Stolfa, Prahl, and Grear
were placed on the all-conference team.

HEAVYWEIGHT
The heavyweights ended a successful season of
basketball sharing with Downer's Grove the sec-
ond place honors in the West Suburban Confer-
ence. Hinsdale and Glenbard tied for first place
in the Conference. Our team won the greater
majority of their games by holding their oppo-
nents practically scoreless in the second half of
the game after piling up a good lead in the first
half. This did not hold true in the second round of
the sectional tournament at La Grange. La
Grange scored twelve points in the third quarter,
overcoming Riverside's lengthly lead of thirteen
points, and the game ended with their team in
the lead 27-23.
The Riverside players were successful in defeat-
ing York in the first round of the sectional tourna-
ment, 34-27, in a second overtime period. The
score at the end of the first overtime was 27-27;
the final score was sensational, Riverside winging
three baskets and a free throw.

LIGHTWEIGHT
The lightweight quintet, polished in floor plays
on the offense and impenetrable on the defense,
were undefeated this season until the last few
games; but due to the loss of their star forward,
Joe Duran, who was ineligible the second semes-
ter, the team fell in a slump which caused them
to share the championship with the stellar York
team. Then our team, not satisfied with a con-
ference championship, entered the Wheaton
Lightweight Tournament, but after a hard scrap
in the second round, the Riverside-Brookfield
team was forced out of the tournament by the
last minute rally of Glenbard.
Captain Grear, Stolfa, and Henderson, mem-
bers of the team coached by Mr. Shuey, were
chosen for the Ail-Conference Teams. The other
flashy floor performers were Bursik, Davern,
Eickelberg, and Witt, who could be depended
upon to play a timely game.

THE 1934 TRACK TEAM
The track team of '34 has been trained to func-
tion as a well-balanced unit. While R-B has pro-
duced stars in the past, an entire team working
as smoothly as this year's has been rare.
Riverside was handicapped with but three let-
ter men to start the new season, but there was
plenty of new material to make a good team.
Led by Captain Fyfe in the quarter mile, and with
Benes, Cowley, and A. Kunatz in dashes, the quar-
tet made up a fast, promising relay team sure to
place in the conference. The other promising men
were Barcik, who participated in the half-mile;
Southworth, in the mile: Leesley and Davern, in
the pole vault: Thomas, in the low-hurdles; Pogose,
the high-hurdles; Cichy and Drueth, the broad
jump; Price and Zielstra, the high jump; Stromsky,
the shot put; Utermark, the discus; and P. Kunatz
and Cykner, the javelin.
Dual, triangular, and quadrangular meets were
held during the year with Downer's, Proviso, Mor-
ton, Hinsdale, and Wheaton. The season was
topped off with the Conference meet held at La
Grange on May 25. The District meet at Evan-
ston followed, with the winners going down state
to the State meet.
In the Conference meet last year Riverside
placed last, but with the strongest team gathered
at R-B in recent years, a better showing is hoped
for this year.
Class Supremacy Day was made up of inter-
class track and field events. The Seniors are plan-
ning to win in the inter-class competition, but we
will have to tell you the results in next year's
Rouser.
Top Row: H. Soderholm, J. Evans, J. Grear, T. U'Ren, G. Glaser, H. Ripkey.
Bottom Row: Mr. Resek, R Wallace, J. Busse, C. Wheatman, J. Reincrtson, N. Hruby.
1933-34
In the Spring of '33, R. B. H. S. for the first
time in its sports career had a regular tennis team
sponsored by the R. B. H. S. Tennis Club.
A schedule of over fifteen dual meets was
played during April and May against the stiffest
high school opposition in the state. At the end
of the season Captain Clarence Tetzlaff and
George Glaser received minor letters. All those
who participated in two or more meets are in-
cluded in the picture above.
The officers of the Tennis Club elected in the
Fall of '33 were:
President.............Norbert Hruby
Vice-President Bob Wallace
Secretary ... Bob Bruce
Treasurer Charles Wheatman
Sponsor. E. F. Resek
Intramural Tennis was inaugurated in the Fall
of '33. Instead of the usual elimination tourna-
ment in which only the best players play more
than one match, five teams of six men each were
chosen. Four singles and two doubles matches
were played between the two contesting teams.
Thus everyone played an equal number of
matches. One round was completed before bad
weather set in. This system proved highly suc-
cessful and will be repeated this Spring in the
interscholastic matches.
TENNIS
The R-B tennis team opened its tennis season
of 1934, April 3, in a Conference match with
Glenbard. Riverside succeeded in taking the
second singles match 6-3, 6-1, and dropped the
other.
In the non-conference match with Elgin, which
was called on account of darkness, the standing
at the time the match was called off was 2-2.
In the encounter with Blue Island, Grear of
Riverside defeated Rettker of Blue Island 6-1,
6-2; Hruby of Riverside defeated Schuman of
Blue Island 6-3, 6-5; U'Ren and Reinertson of
Riverside defeated Roach and McLaughlin of
Blue Island 7-5, 6-0, thus ending the victories for
Riverside. Blue Island succeeded in taking the
third singles match 6-2, 6-2, and the second
doubles watch 6-1, 6-0.
The West Suburban Conference games with
La Grange, Hinsdale, and Downer's Grove have
not been played.
Riverside dropped four practice matches in the
beginning of the season to Joliet, Oak Park, Mor-
ton, and Elgin.
The tennis interests at R-B have been under the
constant supervision of the tennis coach, Mr.
Resek, which accounts for their rapid improve-
ment.
"LOOKIN' LOVELY"
For their class pay this year, the Juniors presented on March 23-24,
"Lookin’ Lovely," a three-act comedy by Janice Gard. Miss Shipley
directed the play.
The action of "Lookin' Lovely" is laid in a country home.
Winnie Bordine along with her good friend, Marjorie, hit upon the
idea of saving the old home by turning it into a beauty institute.
Chance brings along two promoters looking for something to promote,
and a bargain is made. The plot goes on to reveal confiscation of the
Institute's money, and the arresting of the promoters as suspects, but
the final curtain finds everything straightened out among all con-
cerned.
Fun was supplied by the irrepressible activities of Clytie and
Buddie and the round about courting of Amarilla by Speed Hawkins,
the village sheriff.

Masque and Wig has the disitinction of being R. B.'s first club. It was organized
in the spring of 1918 with the primary object of developing dramatic talent and cul-
tivating an appreciation of drama. Its chief activities are presenting plays, having
theater parties, and discussing theatrical topics. The public productions this year have
been a one act play, "Luncheon for Six", given as an assembly program here and as
an exchange program at West Chicago, and a Miracle play entitled "One Night in
Bethlehem" presented to the public in the high school auditorium on December 18.
The latter won much commendation for its artistic handling. The club programs this
year have been composed of three parts as follows:
A discussion of some important phase of dramatics; a review of current theatrical
productions; and dramatic readings or one act plays.
Miss Shipley is the club sponsor.
The Clio Club was organized in 1927 for the purpose of promoting interest in mat-
ters of historical and civic importance. The meetings have been held on the second
Tuesday of every month, with each program given over to discussion of the lives of
famous men, debates, music, and readings. The Armistice Day assembly program was
presented by the Clio Club this year as in the past, with a guest speaker, Rev. Newham
of La Grange. The first semester ended with a successful and delightful Christmas
party.
One of the most active organizations in school is the Catalyst Club, formerly
known as the Science Club. The club took advantage of the Chicago World's Fair,
and took a trip down there early in the season. They visited the Julius Rosenwald
Museum, Argo Corn Products, and Durkee Famous Foods Plants. At each club meeting
a talk was given on some phase of Chemistry or Physics by one of the club members.
This year the Catalysts became affiliated with the National Student Science Clubs of
America, and subscribed to the SCIENCE LEAFLET. In April, they defied all super-
stitions by giving a successful dance on Friday, the 13th.
"In our century, science is the soul of the prosperity of nations, and the living
source of all progress."—Louis Pasteur.
It has been the aim of the Catalyst Club this year to instill in each student a
creative knowledge of this "Soul".
Mr. Lott is the club sponsor.
The Bios Logos Club is under the supervision of Mr. Williams; it is an organization
for biology students. It offers an opportunity for some of our energetic young biolo-
gists to spend a period together after school each month in intellectual enlightenment
and a social good time.
Each fall members visit the International Live Stock Exposition, and through the
courtesy of the management, receive reserved seats to the arena show. Each year
the club has also been welcomed to the local zoo by Superintendent Bean and his son,
who kindly explain the progress of its development to them.
On the opening of the World's Fair this year, a visit to the Hall of Science and
Horticultural Building is planned.
The Scribblers Club, under the guidance of Miss Alice Hosford, the new adviser,
continued its activities this year with usual vigor. The object of this organization is
to stimulate interest in commercial subjects, and the club witnessed speed demonstra-
tions in shorthand and on the typewriter through representatives of the Gregg College
and L. C. Smith Typewriter Company. These representatives also gave the club
members various suggestions on how they could become as efficient. A mechanical
explanation of the typewriter was another talk enjoyed during the year and the club
had the pleasure of hearing and profiting by a speech given us by Mr. Wagner from
the Swift Company. The February meeting was a "social" and games were played
and cake and ice cream, without which a party would not be complete, were served.
At the last meeting, election of succeeding officers was held and a very successful
and enjoyable year came to an end.
The R. B. H. S. Home Economics Club has been an active organization for eleven
years. It is a constructive club, creating a close friendship between the members and
their homes. Its aim is hospitality and good citizenship.
In September, the enrollment numbered thirty-six. Ten more girls signed the
membership roll after the annual candle-light service in October. The members gave
a Thanksgiving play "Turkey Red" in assembly the day before Thanksgiving. A get-
together was given for the members in December in the form of a Christmas party.
Instruction and information on cosmetics is now being given to the club. At the last
meeting in May we had a picnic.
DER Der Deutsche Verein holds its meetings on the fourth Tuesday of each month. The
DEUTSCHE business meetings are followed by interesting and educational programs which give
VEREIN the members an opportunity to learn of the customs and everyday activities of
German life.
Games, which give the members practice in German vocabulary, are included in
each program. Speeches, songs, and plays in German also have a part on the
programs.
Eor the last three meetings the club is divided into three equal groups; each group
is in charge of a program. A great deal of interest is taken to see which of the
groups can arrange the most interesting program. Refreshments are often served.
All second year German pupils and those of the first year who make an average
of "B" for the first two marking periods are eligible for membership.
LE Le Cercle Francais has met regularly under the leadership of its president, Bertice
CERCLE Jones. The year began with a "voyage" on a transatlantic steamer and each member
FRANCAIS provided himself with a passport. The succeeding meetings centered in the customs
of various French provinces. In April the club gave a French assembly including a
play, a travelogue, and a representative student group at an out-of-door cafe. The
meetings have been informal, instructive, and enjoyable.
PRO Pro Merito is one of the oldest clubs in the school, having been organized in
MERITO 1924. The club, as its name signifies, is "on behalf of your merits." Membership in
this club is open only to those who have an average of "B" for the semester. This club
meets every third Tuesday of the month. The purpose is to learn more about every
phase of Roman History. This year, however, the club has not been as active as in
former years.
BULLDOG Pep-meetings, football, basketball, dances, food sales, popularity contests, and
CLUB ping-pong tournaments, all stand for the Bulldog Club, which was organized in 1932
to be the pep organization of the High School, every student in the school having
membership in the club.
The past year has been busy with many exciting activities. After the fall election
of the officers which was modelled after official government election proceedings, the
social activities commenced. Frequent "Bulldog Mixers" in the form of all-school
dances were held in the late afternoons with the Bulldog orchestra under Robert
Howes' direction furnishing the music. Pep meetings and organized attendance at
games were spurred on by the five Bulldog cheer-leaders, captained by Bill Butt. A
popularity contest was held, selecting Lorraine Ostrander to carry off the honors at
the "All School Dance." The final event of the year which created much enthusiasm
was the ping-pong tournament in which the chorus members challenged the rest of
the students. The winners, from the whole school, then played a professional ping-pong
team.
USHER In order to have capable ushers at all the High School evening entertainments, an
CLUB Usher Club, composed of members of the Junior class was formed several years ago.
Uniforms are worn by the ushers, the boys wearing dark suits, and the girls powder
blue skirts and white blouses. Miss Nettie Courtney is the club's sponsor, and James
Wandell and Joe Benes are the head ushers.
G. A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association under the sponsorship of Miss Katherine Cancie
and the officiation of Margaret Johnson, president; Vlasta Lajcik, vice president; and
Irene Binder, secretary, has completed a very busy year.
The activities began in the fall with horseback riding, baseball, and soccer. When
cold weather confined the girls to indoors, basketball and volley ball took their place.
In place of the usual initiation, the Freshmen sponsored a Christmas party for the
upper class members. Spring brought track, tennis, and horse-shoes.
For participation in any of these activities, points toward athletic awards were
earned. The highest award which may be earned is the second state award or the
fourth letter. Margaret Johnson, Lillian Horvath, and Eleanor Kudrna are the only
girls who have attained this honor.
