To the Kalibre:
I have just listened to a discussion on
school activities, a part of the program of
the North Central Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools, in which it was
sought to evaluate the work that is being
done in the schools all over the country.
Opinions of students, parents, teachers, and
post graduates were given and objections
were discussed. The schools everywhere
are interested in making activities as use-
ful as possible to every boy and girl in the
schools.
It is interesting to note that in range and
variety the activities at DTHS are on a par
with those of other progressive schools, and
that the character and content of those
activities are comparable with any.
Our students are to be congratulated on
their interest and successful participation
in personality-building activities.
R. C. BEALS.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
In the hands of these six people lies the destiny of 650 students
who are enrolled in DTHS. They hold regular monthly meetings to make
the necessary changes and additions for the betterment of the school.
The financial worries belong entirely to the Board. Because of the first-
hand information given to them by their secretary, our superintendent,
they can fully understand the needs of the student-body.
It is the responsibility of these directors to hire efficient teachers,
arrange for the necessary repairs to the building and property, and see
that the entire system is run smoothly.

THE OFFICE FORCE
What a job it is to keep a smiling face,
answer the telephone, type and answer ques-
tions all at the same time! However, the
DTHS office force manages very well, and
everyone will remember how convenient it was
to get a short but definite answer to inquiries
like, ‘‘Where is the key to the mimeograph
room?" or “Has my locker key been turned in
this morning?”
Hazel Nieman was added to the force later
in the year to fill the vacancy left by Mrs.
Myers who accepted a position in the office
of the college. Snapshots—Book Week Program, senior English class.

After her senior supervision last year, MISS LOUISE
COUCH thought she would settle down for a year of
peace and quiet. But fate was against her! Aside from
instructing her history and English classes, she served on
various committees destined to help the welfare of the
school.
Those savory odors floating down the first floor halls
issue from the foods lab with MISS MARGARET MERZ
in charge. She is also adviser for the Home Economics
Club. The striking new spring styles that are seen about
are created in Room 122. It is a sure thing that MISS
GERTRUDE KELLMAN'S invaluable suggestion has led
to the pleasing result. Each has also a class under her
wing: Miss Kellman guides the juniors with a steady
hand and Miss Merz has charge of this year’s not so
flighty freshies.
MR. CHARLES KITTLESON coaches light-weight
basketball and his hard-working classes in printing are
the endless source of supplies, posters, programs—dance
programs a specialty. Many a class room is supplied
with a much needed bookcase or shelf by MR. E. C.
LINDGREN'S crew from the wood-working class. Be-
neath all the glory of a stage set you will find founda-
tions set up painstakingly by willing hands from this de-
partment.
MR. J. E. MONTGOMERY should have been a Con-
gressman, for he is thoroughly informed about the cur-
rent events. However, he never forgets one single bat-
tle of the Civil War. He often relieved his class of the
date-learning routine by current events, round table
discussions arid floor talks.

mathematical mind to figure out those percentages as
well as to assist students in their study of algebra and

MISS ETTA LARSON as head of the business department teaches economics and merchandising besides typing. She also sponsors the Business Club.

Our fellows showed fight throughout the
season, and appreciated the backing given
them by the student body. ‘‘Where there is
a will there’s a way,” did not seem true with
our football team, for they had the will.
Our coach, Mr. Trees, is leaving the coach-
ing field this year to enter another line of
business. He has many friends among the
boys who learned to know him as a coach, a
teacher, and a pal. We will miss him next
year, and wish him much success in his future
activities.

Victories did not come easy in 1940, but it
wasn’t an entirely unsuccessful season for our
football teams. The experience gained was
of initial importance to the veterans of our
next year’s squad.
As records show, DeKalb’s varsity squad
won only one and lost six games. The fresh-
man-sophomore team went a little better with
three wins and four losses. The heavies were
composed, for the large part, of former light-
weight players and two reserves from the
heavies of 1940.

The annual DeKalb-Sycamore game, played on Armistice Day of each year, was this year cancelled
because of snow and extreme cold.
On the Tuesday following, the seniors of the varsity played the underclassmen of the same squad.
The game ended in a tie, 6-6.

DeKalb was pepless and sluggish this night. Prince-
ton played superb football and would have given any
team in the conference a good battle.

VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD
The 1940 varsity football season was not as success-
ful as some seasons of the past, but the boys were scrap-
pers and every opposing team knew that it had worked
for each yard gained.
Sept. 13 DeKalb—12 Rochelle—0
The teams were evenly balanced, DeKalb Having the
edge in weight and Rochelle being the faster of the two.
The inability of Rochelle to hang onto touchdown passes
was a major factor in the outcome of the game.
Sept. 20 DeKalb—0 Downers Grove—25
Downers Grove was one of the best teams played by
DeKalb all year. They had speed and weight in abun-
dance. This team later proved to be one of the best
teams in the Chicago Suburban Conference.
Sept. 27 DeKalb—6 Sterling—38
The first road trip of the year went to Sterling. The
game was fairly onesided until late in the fourth quarter.
Then, spurred on by the thought of overwhelming defeat,
DeKalb began an eighty yard march that ended in a touch-
down and DeKalb’s only score.

FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE
FOOTBALL SEASON
Sept. 13 DeKalb—19 Rochelle—0
The new team composed entirely of underclassmen
won its first game by ’an overwhelming score to make
it a double victory for DeKalb. The team opened up with
a flashy running and passing attack that scored in the
first quarter.
Sept. 20 DeKalb—0 Downers Grove—25
Downers Grove came to DeKalb with a fast, light
team. With its fast backfield and skilled aerial attack,
Downers Grove won the game easily.
Sept. 27 DeKalb—0 Sterling—13
Sterling, scoring early in the first half, battled diligently
to hold a lead over a hard fighting, determined DeKalb
team. DeKalb, although deep in Sterling territory, lacked
the punch needed to put the ball over the goal line.
Oct. 4 DeKalb—7 Dixon—20
Although they fought doggedly DeKalb went down
in defeat before a very strong team. This game was
touched with calamity when Alms, while stopping an
off-tackle smash, broke his arm.
Oct. 11 DeKalb—25 Princeton—12
With the score 6-0 in favor of Princeton, DeKalb
suddenly came to life. By a pass from Fitzgerald to
Wisdom, DeKalb moved into the lead, 7-6. At the half
Princeton led 12-7. In the second half DeKalb scored
twice in the third quarter by passes and once in the
fourth by an end run.
Oct. 18 DeKalb—12 Mendota—0
DeKalb again played heads-up football and took an
early lead. They were never halted during the entire
game.
Oct. 25 DeKalb—0 Belvidere—19
In a slump, the lightweights could make nothing click
to a scoring play. It just wasn’t their night.

—
GAA is a club belonging to the outdoor girl, one who has plenty of energy
to exert on the hockey field, can do a graceful balancing act on the beam, or
can give a clear swing with a baseball bat.
Just as archery was added last year to the GAA calendar of activities, golf
was added this year. Many girls anxious to learn to swing a mean club and
lucky enough to own a golf set, readily accepted this new sport. Archery,
however, did not lose its attraction for the more ambitious girls.
As usual, the seniors took the majority of honors in the round of various
sport tournaments. They managed to win from the runners-up in both
basketball and soccer. The juniors were able, however, to capture the hockey
championship. In table tennis, Mary Lou Spickerman and Carol Shipman,
freshman, came out on top, while Enid Payne and Mildred Johnson kept the
birdie up and over the net longer than any of their opponents.

Any girl having spare time could enjoy it

and still be earning points for her coveted
awards.
Both the tennis courts and the bowling
alleys were crowded by girls talented in either
sport.
The GAA, through the various activities
offered, promotes healthy girlhood, comrade-
ship, sportsmanship, and cooperation.

Freshman-Sophomore Season . .
This year the freshman-sophomore ruling
went into effect in all the North Central Con-
ference schools. The rule limited each school
underclassmen for its lightweight squad. Al-
though Coach Kittleson had to pick a younger
group of fellows than in previous years, he
went through an average season of play.
The squad started the season with a bang
by defeating the alumni 27-25, November 29,
This game was of the experimental type; from
it Coach Kittleson picked his future team.
The fellows went into a slump for two
weeks and lost two games to Shabbona 21-16,
December 6, and to Sterling 34-28. Finding
their mark the next week they defeated Men-
dota 23-14, December 20, and in a return
game DeKalb beat them again 26-14
Two weeks later the team went to Belvi-
dere where DeKalb suffered a defeat of 30-16.
The following week they showed more scrap
but also lost that game to Dixon 32-17.
After two defeats from Sycamore they came
back to beat Princeton 32-14. The next week
they played an invitation game at Sandwich.
hitting their stride to beat their opponents in
orange 32-15.
This season was packed with thrills from
the opening game to the final bell of the last
one. DeKalb, abiding by the new rule, com-
pleted a good season in which it placed fourth
in the conference.

Varsity Basketball Season . . .
Hampered by the fact that there were no
returning lettermen and only a few veterans,
DeKalb suffered a sixth place rating in its con-
ference this year.
The first game the Barbs played was with
the alumni. This game was a benefit game
played for the Parent-Teachers Association.
The entire squad played in this game, for the
game showed which boys would play during
the season. The Barbs lost this game by a
score of 32-21.
The Treesmen started the conference sea-
son by being defeated at Sterling 42-16, De-
cember 13. Two weeks later they came back
to beat Geneva 40-13 in the Holiday Tourna-
ment, December 26.
The Barbs couldn't get started after the
Holiday Tournament and dropped four confer-
ence games to Belvidere 28-15, Dixon 39-15,
Princeton 39-29, and Sterling 51-30. Later
in a return game with Mendota, DeKalb was
edged out by one point in a hard-fought game
which ended 39-38.
—In the final game of the season the Barbs
went to Sandwich for an invitational game
which Sandwich won 29-19.
At the annual Regional Tournament the Barbs went on a scoring splurge in which they
defeated Maple Park 40-23. The next night the Treesmen lost a hard fought game to
Sycamore 32-31 in the semi-finals. In this game there wasn’t a dead moment. The Barbs
held a two to four point edge over Sycamore until the last thirty seconds when the oppon-
ents made a basket to tie the score. In the final ten seconds a personal foul was called
which enabled Sycamore to defeat DeKalb by one point.

DeKalb has, this year, four returning letter-
men around which to build a track team. These
“vets”, none of whom is a senior, are headed by
Bob Fitzgerald, ace miler, Bob Cook and Jimmy
Lincoln, pole vaulters, and Don Risley for the
880 and dashes. This nucleus and the increased
competition among the young aspirants for
numerous open positions should be the making
of a strong track, team.
With only one meet at home, DeKalb will be
on the road most of the time. Nine track meets
in three weeks will keep the boys extremely busy.

Even before the football season was com-
plete a basketball tournament was being staged
under the direction of Mr. Drew. The boys
who played were those who found no time to
participate in varsity competition. The boys
had a lot of fun and yet were learning rudi-
ments of the game. They played in the boys’
gym until they were exiled to the girls’ gym
after the regular basketball season had begun.
Late in March they held another tournament
to end the season.
When Mr. Drew was not busy with intra-
mural basketball, he could be found in the
swimming pool or at the bowling alleys. Mon-
days and Thursdays he gave to swimming; On
Tuesday nights he supervised a group of forty-
five boys in bowling.
Underclassmen that spend many hours in
intramural sports are gradually working up to
a position on the varsity squad in the future.
Intramural sports provide an outlet for the
boys who enjoy the games and are not mem-
bers of varsity squads.

Noon-hour Program . . .
The noon hour program is a fairly new
institution at DTHS. It was begun last
year and has been undergoing constant
improvement since that time. Mary Lou
Jorgenson, the re-elected chairman, and
her assistants patrolled the halls every
noon. The organization flourished under
the advisership of Mr. Furr.

Since the beginning of the second semester, Student Council meetings have
been conducted every other Tuesday morning by its president, Eleanor Ander.
The club’s first activity was to sponsor the only legal "slack day” in the his-
tory of DTHS. Another new activity that was popular with the students
from visiting cities, as well as our own, was the sponsoring of after-game
mixers. Players, spectators, and out-of-town visitors to the night’s game
thoroughly enjoyed the time when all the "gang” was together for a period
of dancing. There were many disappointed faces when the clock traveled
around to 1 1 :30 p. m.
As in previous years the Council presented a convocation in the early part
of March. This year the program broke away from serious things with the
production of a humorous drama entitled "Who Killed School Spirit?” The
play, consisting of a murder, mock trial, and
a snake dance proved that School Spirit was
not dead but only asleep. It was written,
directed, and acted by the members of the
group.
A contest for high grades was sponsored
by the Council between boys’ and girls'
home rooms in order to encourage better
scholarship. After six-week grades were
scored, a list of the ten highest home rooms
was posted on the bulletin board.
The object of the French Club is to promote
better speaking of French and to become ac-
quainted with French games and customs.
At its meetings strains of the popular song,
“The Last Time I Saw Paris,” translated into
French by ambitious members, can be heard.
About Miss Carnal’s room, you can see sev-
eral Cuignol’s, heroes of the puppet shows in
France. These puppets, displayed at the an-
nual Spring Exhibit, were dressed as characters
in the play “Pathelin et Le Berger.”
Red, white, and blue programs, patriotic
colors for France as well as the United States,
lured all the “Astaires” and “Rogers” to a
Mardi Gras sunset dance sponsored by this club.

“Uvas! Uvas!” cried the grape vendor in the
New Year's play presented by the Spanish
Club, which was only one of their achieve-
ments. Gay senoritas imprinted on little blue
cards beckoned dancers to a sunset dance
given by the club. A new exploit was intro-
duced this year when a Spanish copy of the
Reader’s Digest was sent to a South American
correspondent. All the displays for the Ex-
hibit were attractively labeled in Spanish, and
Spanish students dressed in the native cus-
tume paraded the halls selling flowers.
Some members combined their Spanish and
journalistic talents to write, in Spanish, ac-
counts of the club meetings and activities of
the club for the Barblet.

Outstanding again this year as a vital force
in all major student enterprises, the DTHS
Art Club takes top honors among organiza-
tions for its amount of service to the school.
Members of the club have shown evidence
of their work in various shapes and forms.
Prominent in this year's activities were the
sunset dance, the art display in the annual
PTA Exhibit, posters made for the observance
of Americanism week, and the Art Club’s an-
nual spring exhibit, held in May at the Haish
Library. Members gained important recogni-
tion also by their hard work on the stage set-
tings for the one-act plays as well as for the
Senior play.
Credit is due to the loyal workers who are
responsible for the success of the projects
undertaken by the Club. Unique art work
and mounting is the achievement of the Kali-
bre staff artists, Rosemary Flusch and Rachel
Jean Gabel. Dora Celli does the same work
for the Barblet and takes credit for its newest
feature, portraits of outstanding seniors. She
also is the originator of the New' Pennies
cover. Hilda Stevens and Betty Briggs are the
creators of those clever posters advertising
school affairs. Jack Cramer, Jimmy Schultz,
and Gene Metcalfe rank tops as amateur car-
toonists; and special honors go to Joyce Ranta,
a freshman with real talent.
During its third year of distinctive school
service, the Art Club worked under the guid-
ance of Miss Gretchen Bloomster.

"Me 4- You = us” was the theme for the
formal Valentine dance this year. Couples
entered through a huge broken heart, but with
the music of Herbie Palmer’s orchestra there
was no danger of others being broken.
Again at Christmas the club joined with
other organizations in distributing white gifts.
They also sold Easter stamps to aid the fund
for the care of crippled children. At the
Easter week services held jointly with the

FORENSIC
Monday, discussion at Miss Wentworth’s;
Tuesday, practice at the library; Wednesday,
read new handbook—that's the sort of sched-
ule DeKalb debaters worked at week in and
week out. Their labor was rewarded, how-
ever, by trips to Hinsdale, Rockford, and the
all-important trip of the year to Rock Island.
The debaters went in for astrology at their
sunset dance featuring Madame Hokus, a
gypsy who wasn’t at all interested in whether
federal power was increased or not.
March first found another branch of Forensic interest becoming active. Students
found humorous, serious, and oratorical declamation, verse reading, and extemporaneous
speaking occupying their time. After work-
ing and re-working their selections under Miss
Wentworth’s guidance, contestants gave only
finished performances before the judges. From
the Sub District Contest held at Elgin where
Eudora Shaw placed first, J. Hal Connor sec-
ond, Garvey Hopkins second, and Bill Diedrich
DeKalb. J. Hal achieved second place in the
State Contest.
There is a lot of work behind poised stage
bearing and polished words and phrases. Don’t
mistake it. Each one earned his laurels by
giving both time and talent.

For those advancing into the vast business
field of tomorrow the Business Club serves as

but one must have knowledge of etiquette and

The club’s membership consists of students
who have taken one or more courses in busi-
ness training. Panel discussions, talks by
faculty members and former students ex-
plored various phases of this career during
regular sessions.
In early fall a potluck supper was given for
the members of last year’s club. A sunset
dance in April to the music of the Nine Teens
was gay and profitable. In May at the annual
alumni banquet the business majors received
honor pins for passing speed and skill tests in
typing, writing and transcribing shorthand at
high rates, mastering certain problems and
questions in bookkeeping and economics, and
earning points for participation in extra-curricular activities.

The Girls’ Athletic Association has had many
changes this year, some made by state board rul-
ings, others by the good ideas of Miss Bachman,
the new adviser.
One of the most visible alterations was the
changing of the color of the GAA sweater from the
school colors, black and orange, to the GAA colors,
blue and white.
From the state GAA board came a welcomed
ruling making health rules optional; the result—
less strain on the girl’s memories. The point system was also modified. Forty points is now given
for one sport instead of the former 32, so that the
awards come sooner. This probably explains the
unusual abundance of high state awards earned
this year.
Three banquets interrupted the regular schedule.
At the winter and spring banquets, awards were
presented. The G. A. A. entertained former mem-
bers of the club at a breakfast on November 1 1.
Various types of council meetings were held
throughout the year. One evening the girls turned

A sunset dance climaxed the social events.
Plays were cast; fellows struggled with Civil
war uniforms; girls spent hours transforming
themselves before mirrors to get “that certain effect”—then the stage was theirs.

Christmas found several of the members
ready to present a play called “Light Competition”. After the cast had given it for one
of the churches, it gave a fine performance
for the Christmas convocation program.
“All the world’s a stage and all the men
and women merely players.” Practically every
member of the two clubs had a chance for
his exit or entrance on stage sometime through
the year.
Soon after the tryouts for club member-
ship were held in early fall, a weiner roast
was scheduled. An invitation from Rochelle
to attend the play “Our Town”, which their
dramatic group staged, was accepted by several students.

Future Farmers of America is an organization for farm fellows and those city fellows
who are interested in the "good earth”. Under
the watchful eye of Mr. Furr, they study soil
conservation, animal husbandry, and rotation
of staple crops.
In the fall, several of the boys, enjoyed a
trip to the International Livestock Exposition
in Chicago. They spent the day tramping the
stockyards, observing the cattle, and meeting
fellow FFA’s.
At the regular meetings interesting information was gained from movies, talks, and re-
ports of trips taken by various members.
On November 7, the boys gave the annual
Fathers and Sons Banquet with their fathers
as guests. Mr. Crawford, from NISTC, gave
a very interesting after-dinner speech.
In the spring a group of members representing the dairy and fatstock classes, went to
the University of Illinois for a judging contest.
For the FFA, the year 1940-41 was an instructive and pleasant one for all the members.

What a pleasing sight the Girls’ Glee Club is
when it dons the trim new aqua and white
uniforms! PTA members had two opportuni-
ty to see them this year, first at the PTA
Christmas party and again at an afternoon
meeting.
The lead soprano, Florence Paulson, is also
president of the club. Her voice often soared
above the rest of the group in solo.
The Glee Club appeared April 4 as part of
the annual Spring Concert, presented by the
combined choral groups, with a gay collection
of spirited ballads. The director is Mr. Rad-
datz who keeps the members in good spirits
with his lively comments and teaches them to
sing with grace and ease.

Voices blending, unaccompanied, in
soft harmony or rich fortissimo—the
A Cappella Choir, made up of juniors
and seniors, has rounded ou.t many a
high school entertainment.
The concert on April 4 was the
highlight of the singing season in
which all vocal organizations took part.
Coing in for fast rhythm in the
melodies of the Nineteens, A Cappel-
la sponsored the Music Makers Mixer
on November 30.
The Double Mixed Quartet has had
many and varied engagements this
season. They have been much in de-
mand by churches and clubs. They
sang with the A Cappella at the Christ-
mas party, for the PTA vocational pro-
gram, and the DeKalb County School-
masters’ meeting. They must be good,
for the Kiwanis Club asked them for
a return engagement. They have sung
at the Haish School and several times
at the Methodist church.
The Girl's Chorus is an organization in
which freshmen and sophomores learn the
rudiments of singing and harmony. It is the
beginners’ singing group. From it girls gradu-
ate, via tryouts, to the Girls’ Glee Club and
A Cappella Choir when they become juniors.
The group meets twice a week. It does not
appear before the public, but it is the proving
ground for more advanced singers.

At the annual spring concert, on March 14, the band
out-did itself. Playing at Dixon, Hinckley, and NISTC
completed the formal program.
But that’s not all by any means. The Barb musicians
descended en masse upon Benton Harbor for the Cherry
Blossom Festival and Mardi Gras parade. All in all the
year of ’41 proved to be exciting and eventful for the

one of the most memorable was that of Shirley Peterson

The Orchestra is divided into two parts, string and full orchestra. Rehear-
sals for the strings are held every morning first hour and full orchestra meets
after school on Thursdays.
The string section furnished background music for the Americanism week
program. As in previous years, interludes of both one-act and senior plays
were filled with music provided by this group. Processional and recessional
marches for Commencement and Baccalaureate added impressiveness to
those occasions.
Six members of the string orchestra; Alice Could, Carol Smith, Lois Rita
Dailey, Eudora Shaw, Carol Murphy, and Nancy Kennedy, represented
DeKalb in the All-State Orchestra at Champaign in November.
Those who worked long enough to earn points merited the honor of receiving a school letter.
Page 47
The “D” Club is the honorary athletic
club for all letter winners in any sport
from football to tennis. This club,
while not as active as some of the other
boys’ clubs, is one of the most popular,
for it is not every boy’s privilege to be a
member.
In football the coach's decision as to
whether or not one gets a letter is final,
as it is in all of the other sports. In
football sixteen quarters are required.
In basketball the system is different with
a percentage basis in use. This system
is based on training, conduct, practice,
and the number of quarters played. In
track the award is decided by the
number of points obtained in different
meets. A boy must play in at least half
of the matches held in tennis to earn a
letter. When a boy finally attains mem-
bership in the club, he has really worked
for it.
The ’D” Clb sponsors one of the most
popular school dances of the year. Being
held in the spring, it always attracts a
crowd.
The club flourishes under the super-
vision of Coach Trees and a staff of
officers elected by the members.

The Barblet certainly proved a big hit
with everyone this year. With the in-
creased subscription list, staff workers
successfully attempted to add vivid and
zippy new columns to the paper. Fash-
ion notes on school fads found a perman-
ent place on the back page, while the
“Benchwarmer” sprinkled plenty of spice
into the sports section. Another column
in various issues was devoted to students
worthy of recognition. Mr. Beal’s letter
added a constructive column to each is-
sue;
The paper was usually based on a set
theme, whether it was a Christmas,
Thanksgiving, sports, exhibit, radio or
booster issue. Whenever a campaign was
coming on in DTHS, the paper always did
its part. Clubs and organizations appreciated the free advertisement given
their activities.
The Barblet room was open for exhibit
on several occasions, during which the
process of producing the paper was dis-
played.
Twice a month the students of the
journalism class turned a shoddy dummy
into a streamlined paper. From the
time the first articles were written until
the last staple was snapped in, the Barb-
let was under the supervision of Mrs.
Rutledge.

As the dues poured in, the fellows staged the

attraction of a novelty fan dance.

rassing initiations and wanted only to make their

came to school in flowered and flannel night shirts
and smelling of garlic. It was not only the initi-
ates who suffered!
Bi-monthly meetings during the noon hour
brought before the boys interesting movies, travel-
ogues, speeches, and musical entertainment. In
collaboration with the Giri Reserves, they spon-
sored a White Christmas for the needy.
When the busy year is concluded, Mr. Leach,
the adviser, will have developed a feeling of trust
and responsibility among the members.

and they got it! Students desiring to main-
tain membership had to pay dues, attend all
meetings, and write ten inches of material for
the school paper.
At the monthly meetings which were held
during school hours there were writing con-
tests and stimulating trips to local printing and
newspaper plants. At the April meeting
members of Quill and Scroll initiated the new
members in an impressive cermony.
Work for the journalists subsided when the
executive board of Quill and Scroll planned a
formal banquet for members of Press Club and
of all publication staffs.

NEW PENNIES
New Pennies is a magazine written
by those who have a creative bent.
Stacks of poetry, essays and short
stories are submitted to the staff
which in turn passes on the better part
of the material for the judges’ final
decision.
This year Mrs. Will Fitzgerald, Miss
Helene Reed and Mrs. C. P. Butterfield
were the final judges. Dora Celli de-
signed the cover under the supervision
of Miss Bloomster. Miss Stimson receives a toast as New Pennies adviser.

Did you ever stick your head into
Room 217 during a Kalibre meeting?
Well, that’s what you would have
heard. Undoubtedly you’d have seen
far more. Engravers, photographers,
printers—a cooperative bunch of staff
workers identifying proofs, doing
writeups, rewrites, and re-re-writes
(with the waste basket close by to
catch the refuse). Yes, a hard-work-
ing group of staff workers with much
in common — headaches, writer's
cramp, night life (and not dates, but
work on the inside of the Kalibre—
with hot choclate for refreshment).
The Kalibre is one of the achieve-
ments of the school year and is one
that merits praise. Each year a new
type yearbook is planned in the en-
deavor to give variety and to improve
its interest value. The basis for such
a book lies in the originality, enthusi-
asm and stamina of the staff and the
efforts and guidance of the adviser,
Miss Stimson. Due credit must also
be given to Miss Bloomster, adviser of
the art staff.

Junior Dramatic Club play gave him a chance
to appear before the public.
Football and basketball, tennis and track
occupied a great part of his out-of-school
hours and his scrawny arms and legs began to
fill out with muscles.
He was so embarrased that time he was
peeking through the library door at the meeting of the Girl Reserves and one of the teachers caught him. And everyone laughed for
the rest of the day when they heard he had
skipped first hour because he was afraid to
get an absence slip.
The end of the year found Johnnie a more
polished person without the typical ‘‘just out
of grade school” conceit. It’s queer how
much just one year of high school can change
a freshie.
I remember when Johnnie was a freshman.
Like all the others in his class, he appeared the
first day with his scrubbed face glistening and
all necessary material piled high in his arms.
I had never realized what a maze the old alma
mater could be until I saw him gently ejected
from several rooms and finally disappear into
one, red-faced and ashamed. How funny it
seemed to see him walk along the long locker
room with forced nonchalance, cautiously gazing at every number. And how terribly embarassing for him to have forgotten his key!
Well, after the first hectic days he collected
his new ideas and went about entering the
school’s social life.
He went to more school dances than any
freshman I have ever before seen and the

gun. It was pretty hard to be near him that
day the Hi-Y initiators forced him to eat garlic.
Spring Exhibit brought forth Johnnie’s best
efforts. His many original ideas, designs, and
notebooks received appreciative comments
from the spectators.
As the second year drew to a close he began to undergo another change. I could notice
the sly glances he cast at the pretty little bru-
nette who sat ahead of him in the auditorium
during convocations. He became conscious of
his clothing and began to mimic the older
boys, donning moccasins and monogrammed
watch chains.
He left school with good prospects for a
job at the swimming pool during the summer,

When Johnnie returned for his second session he threw out his chest proudly and, with
a suntanned finger, directed the new crop of
freshies to their respective places.
He now occupied a seat in the second cornet section of the band and I could hardly
keep from laughing at the obvious effects of
the responsibility that position imposed.
The summer had inspired him, and his enthusiasm for everything connected with school
life was fine to see. As captain of the lights
he showed lots of stamina and backbone. Co-
operation with all the fellows was easy for him
with his happy-go-lucky disposition.
At times, however, he reverted to tricks of
the year before with his “hot-foot” and squirt Page 57

tions for the Washington Ball, Johnnie, I was
sure, would be too tired to dance all evening.
But mistaken 1 was! He was full of pep and
the first to dance with the broomstick girl.
Besides being on the football team and
basketball squad, Johnnie made good in track.
All spring he trained for the “mile”.
The junior picnic offered many diversions,
but Johnnie was the only one to fall in the
water. However, he was enjoying himself.
The biggest event of the year was the Junior
Prom. Johnnie and his committee spent many
hours searching for an original idea. The
result pleased Miss Kellman and the seniors
had to thank the juniors for a grand time.
When the time came to fill out the pro-
grams for the next year, Johnnie’s pencil
skipped over the page, for he had decided that
the life of a scientist would be interesting.

I saw Johnnie many times during the first
week of his third year and always he was in
the company of the little brunette he had fal-
len for the year before. He informed me that
they were “going steady” as were most of his
classmates.
When the time for class elections arrived
I was not surprised to find Johnnie the choice
of his classmates for the important office of
president.
Johnnie was happy that the party he had
helped plan went over so well. Almost every-
one in the class turned out for that party and
it gave them a topic of conversation for many
weeks afterward.
How different Johnnie looked in a dress
suit that night he took his brunette to the
Senior Prom! That was the first formal dance
he had ever attended.

Each year a group of worthy Seniors is
elected to the National Honor Society. The
first requirement for membership is that the
candidate be in the upper one-third of his class
according to scholastic rating.
Other requirements concern character, ser-
vice and leadership. A ballot is taken among
the seniors and another among faculty mem-

The social life of the seniors opened with a
bang. After Johnnie’s best friend had risen
to the rank of president and his next best
friend to the position of official senior bouncer,
they began to plan interesting parties. With
the help of some girls they managed to con-
coct a new and different spaghetti dish which
they served to the rest of the trusting souls
in the class at the first party at Hopkins Park.
What a tremendous roar went up from the
crowd that night Johnnie, captain of the
heavies, walked on the field for the opening
of the first game. I remember how grand he
looked in his uniform then.
The boys proved their ability for throwing
parties the night they invited all the senior
hoboes to a barbecue party. Everyone played
hard and had a swell time.
The presentation of the D. A. R. award to
one senior girl gave Johnnie a fine chance to
show his appreciation for all the services
rendered him by the girls in the class. I be-
lieVe he still has a card sent him by the girl
from Springfield.
For a week Johnnie was interviewed by
MJ
7’i JI
for the shaping of his career during that time.
Johnnie’s affability to students and teachers
alike, his long record of service, dependability,
and leadership secured for him a place in the
National Honor Society.
For a month Johnnie paced back and forth
in front of a mirror repeating over and over
his lines in the Senior Play. He was great that
night, and I can still see his proud parents
straining to hear every word.
Miss Brooks almost had heart failure when
Johnnie did a balancing act at Starved Rock
the day the seniors had their picnic there. .
The Juniors gave the seniors a grand send
off at their carefully planned prom. Johnnie’s
light suit and his brunette’s summery formal
fit so well into the balmy June setting.
It was rather sad watching Johnnie cross
the platform for his diploma. It seemed a pity
to lose such an all-round fellow. During the
benediction I noticed him looking straight be-
fore him as if trying to look into the future.
What ever lies ahead of him, whatever the
next few years hold for him, I am sure he will
be an outstanding personality, a fine type of
American citizen.

Fred Hiatt filled his many duties as stage manager, and C.
Edward Nelson, also the light and sound man, did the major
part of the construction work necessary for the set under the
supervision of Mr. Lindgren.
Publicity was well handled by Rosemary Flusch and ticket
sales by Raymond Scott.
Prop men, promptresses, make-up artists, ticket sellers, and
Mr. Kittleson’s printing class were all responsible for their con-
tributions to the smooth-running production of the Senior play
